The two cousins changed their faces, and Rong Lan also knew that her words were ruthless, but these two cousins were raised by the Hu family to soften their bones, and they were not bloody at all, she didn't take heavy words to press, and she didn't know who she would lose in the future, "Don't blame me for saying something ugly, I think you forgot, your mother is from the Fengguo General's Mansion, and you also have the blood of the Zhao family in your body, that is, Xiangyang Bo, isn't it also a courtier of the Zhao family?" You don't need to see them as nobles, do you anger them, and the Hu family's business will fail? ”

Hu Xueqing was about to be laughed at Rong Lan's words, according to Rong Lan's meaning: their biological mother is noble, so they are also noble, and Rong Lan is because of the weight of his father, so he does not have to bow his head to others, in Rong Lan's standard, children follow their father from their mother, not according to the law of human ethics, but to see which side has a higher status?

There is a way that businessmen are profitable, but the Hu family can go to this day, and the business is done all over the country, relying on Xinyi, Hu Xueqing can understand that his cousin will not be able to write these two words.

"My cousin has already talked about it, my uncle is the governor of the navy, and when my cousin comes to the capital, he will naturally be held and respected, we," Hu Xueqing smiled gloomily, "It is the serious lady in the Fengguo General's Mansion, and few people know it now." ”

"Does anyone know that it's someone else's business, but no one can deny that they are the young lady of the Fengguo General's Mansion," Rong Lan doesn't like to hear such words the most, just like herself, no matter what others say about her behind her back, as long as Rong Hai doesn't fall for a day, she is the daughter of the Metropolitan Governor who is envied by everyone!

"My cousin is kind-hearted, but our eyelids are too shallow," Hu Xueqing had no intention of entanglement with Rong Lan on this issue, she glanced at the little maid in Tsing Yi who was standing on the side, "The last time I came with my father and mother, I didn't taste the flower tofu that my cousin said, but I have to taste it this time." ”

Knowing that his shallow eyelids can be saved, this Hu Xueqing has more brains than Hu Xuerou, Rong Lan familiarly reported a string of dish names, and specially asked someone to open a table for Rong An, before he smiled, "Speaking of which, I will go to the General's Mansion in a few days to congratulate my birthday, I don't even know who there are in the mansion, why don't you be idle Xueqing and tell me?" ”

This one? Hu Xueqing smiled with an embarrassed face, "It's not that I don't want to tell my cousin, it's really that the Fengguo General's Mansion has too many people, and there has been no separation, and those of us who rarely go back haven't even figured out who is who!" ”

Hu Xuerou nodded frequently on the side, "My sister is right, the Fengguo General's Mansion has been living together for several generations, and the various rooms are really chaotic, alas, I'm afraid that on the day of the birthday banquet, my family alone may not be able to sit down!" ”

"Our eldest aunt, she is a miserly character, the general's mansion has fallen again, and it is estimated that there will be no distinguished guests, if you want to deal with those cousins, sisters, seven sisters, and eight aunts, I can't wait to report a sick person, "Anyway, the big and small things in the house over there over the years, my mother Zhao has rarely been involved, if I don't want to help Rong Lan this time, they are still in Jiangnan, where is the need to deal with these people?"

Hu Xueqing saw that her sister had been talking for a long time, all of them were complaining, and there was no substance, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about the other rooms, the branch of the General's Mansion alone, my grandfather has seven sons and eight daughters, except for my mother's sister-in-law and our third aunt who married into the capital, everyone else is the same as my mother, they are all married far away, I don't think I will come back this time, as for the other uncles, they all get together to live, if my cousin goes this time, I should be able to see a few aunts,"

Hu Xueqing saw Rong Lan's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and she was funny in her heart, no matter how lively Rong Lan said, she looked like she was on top, but she could move her mind to the Fengguo General's Mansion, so it can be seen that she was desperate, in the past, the Hu family took Rong Zhi and Rong Lan brothers and sisters to live in the capital for many years, and they didn't see them come to recognize this in-law!

Among these aunts, I am only afraid that the identity can be obtained, that is, the current Mrs. General Fengguo, Rong Lan nodded, "Although many children and grandchildren are the appearance of a prosperous family, they must also have a chance to succeed. ”

Hu Xueqing also sighed, "What my cousin said is that my aunt is also anxious, but the atmosphere in the family is broken, and my aunt is also powerless." ”

Rong Lan knows that the current Fengguo general's wife, Ling's maiden father, once served as a servant, and with an empty general's mansion like Fengguo's general's mansion, it can be regarded as a high climb to marry the daughter of the Ling family, but the reason why she can climb is that the Ling family is from the former lady, and her stepmother is unscrupulous, so she deliberately does not find a lover for her.

I hope that this Fengguo general's wife has the foresight to help herself, the more Rong Lan listened, the more she had no confidence, it happened that the maids came in one after another to serve the food, Rong Lan didn't ask any more, and the three of them ate quietly.

Li Jingyi also received the news of Yun Chi's "return", because she already knew that Yun Chi's trip to Jiangnan was not a big victory, Li Jingyi was also too embarrassed to lift her spirits, and the news reported by Mama An from there, Rong Lan somehow made friends with Xiangyang Bofu, thinking of the virtue of Xiangyang Boshizi, Li Jingyi laughed silently, knowing what she was doing, Rong Lan would not be surprised by what Li Jingyi did.

Enyihou "returned to Beijing", the eldest princess of Jinyang was happier than anyone else, and since she received the news, she personally took her father-in-law and Aunt Zhu to the treasury, and wanted to pick a big gift for Yunchi from her many years of treasure.

In Kunde Palace, Yun Chi accompanied the emperor and queen to the imperial meal, said goodbye to Yunhou, and went to the imperial study with Emperor Longwu.

Emperor Longwu is over thirty years old, because he knows some martial arts, Zhao Yu looks much younger than his peers, and his spirit is good, he pointed to the chair at the head of the imperial case and motioned for Yun Chi to sit down, and after the little eunuch served tea, he said, "Your sister is only a relative like you, it is inevitable to worry more, don't bother her." ”

Yun Chi bowed slightly, and said that he didn't dare, "The minister knows what is on my sister's mind, but the minister has no intention of getting married at present, and I ask the emperor to help the minister talk to my sister more." ”

"You, I also think it's time for you to get married, and you're already helping you without giving a decree to marry, and you still want me to help you say good things to the queen? Don't! Although Zhao Yu couldn't understand which tendon was wrong with his brother-in-law, he refused to marry a wife and have children, although Emperor Longwu didn't care about whether Yun Chi would marry a wife or not, whether he had a wife or not, but as his brother-in-law and the son-in-law of the Yun family, he would still do enough.

"Now that the world is peaceful, and there is no war in the northwest or at sea, tell me what do you want by refusing to marry a wife? Or what kind of wife do you want? As long as you say it, you will turn Da Zhou over, and I will find it for you! ”

If the emperor wants to search the world to choose a wife for himself, what has become of him? had to be crucified to death by Shi Chen in the annals of history, Yun Chi got up and knelt in front of Emperor Longwu, "The minister doesn't dare, there is no side reason why the minister doesn't marry a wife, it's just that the minister has been used to being single over the years,"

This reason that can't be called a reason at all Yun Chi has already told his sister Empress Yun many times, not to mention Queen Yun, even Emperor Longwu doesn't believe it, "Got used to it?" Then this habit is not good, you have to change it quickly, is it possible that you will be lonely and grow old? ”

He personally spoke to Yun Chi, and he actually gave such an unconvincing reason, Emperor Longwu was a little angry, "I'll give you half a year, the capital is as you choose, which daughter you fancie, I will be the matchmaker myself, or if you can't settle down before the Qianqiu Festival next year, then the queen will help you choose." ”

Yun Chi really had no intention of starting a family, but he still saw that Emperor Longwu was really angry, and said with a smile, "This emperor is embarrassed, the minister is 'not' in the capital, I have heard that the emperor is preparing for next year's general election, how can the minister dare to engage before the emperor?" ”

Emperor Longwu didn't have time to care about the banter in Yun Chi's tone, and frowned, "Who is spreading this?" I really should have asked the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division to arrest a group of rumor-mongers! ”

Yun Chi Zhengrong arched his hand and said, "Since everyone is preaching, this matter can be regarded as the will of the people, rather than when it comes to the New Year, the elders of the pavilion will follow the fold, it is better for the mother to make a decree and set this matter." ”

"Your sister, no, the queen married me when I was just a county king, how can I bear her?" Emperor Longwu shook his head firmly, "I and the Empress are still young, I can afford to wait." ”

"The emperor can afford to wait, others are afraid that they can't afford to wait, and my sister, Mr. Zhou also said at the beginning, my sister's body is not hindered, but the knot is too heavy, the emperor," Yun Chi knelt in front of Emperor Longwu again, "Forgive the minister, say a respectful word, the emperor accepts a newcomer into the palace, that is, he gives birth to an heir, and that is also my sister's child, and besides, with the prince, will the emperor definitely become the prince?" ”

"Your Majesty, please also ask the emperor to order a draft next year to fill the harem, even if it is for the sake of the mother," Yun Chi touched the ground with his head, "If it goes on like this, the mother will not be able to survive it." ”

How could these Longwu Emperors not know? He has been married to Queen Yun for twelve years, and since the fourth year, Queen Yun has begun to persuade him to accept a side concubine, but he is grateful to the Yun family for resolutely marrying when he was most depressed, and he has to rely on the support of the Weiguo Mansion.

In this way, year after year, there are ministers in the court from time to time, although they are all rejected by Emperor Longwu one by one, but the smile of Queen Yun in the harem is getting less and less, until the eldest princess of Jinyang admonishes Emperor Longwu to accept the harem as an heir, and bluntly said that the queen of clouds has lost women's virtue, and Emperor Longwu's anger can be regarded as finding an outlet, not only reprimanded the eldest princess of Jinyang in the Kunde Palace, but also grounded her in the eldest princess's mansion.

Now that even Yun Chi has opened his mouth to beg him to choose a concubine, Emperor Longwu feels that the stone that pressed on his heart has suddenly been moved, twelve years, and he has no heirs for twelve years, and he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, "You get up, this matter must be considered in the long run, and we seem to be talking about your marriage, not my choice of concubine." ”
