Today's Chu family is naturally no longer the down-and-out family of the past, and there is a daughter who is the queen, and the two sons are also very competitive, and they are very respected by the emperor in the court.
So if you want the Chu family to continue to prosper, you need to find a daughter-in-law for your two sons. Chu Liyu is still young, and he is not in a hurry to discuss marriage, but Chu Lifeng is the eldest son of the Chu family, so he must hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law. In this way, Chu Lifeng's desire to marry Wanyue can be broken.
Actually, Mother Chu doesn't hate Wanyue, it's just that Wanyue's background is just a slave after all, but Chu Lifeng refuses to let Wanyue be a concubine, and the anxious Mother Chu is really heartbroken.
Fortunately, Feng's mother also returned to live in Yuncheng, and the Feng family also left Yuncheng because of the persecution of the Bai family, and now the throne is orthodox, and Feng Feiyu is also Nangong Yihan's right-hand man in the court.
Mother Feng and Mother Chu have always been close, so they told Mother Feng, how could Mother Feng not understand the thoughts of her in-laws, her son is the same age as Chu Lifeng, they are both mothers, and naturally she hopes that her children will be good.
"Old sister, now this is still in the Nanchu Palace, it is better to go back to Beichen and make plans, fortunately, next month is your sister's birthday, there will definitely be many people to attend the birthday banquet, and when the time comes, you can also find a good daughter-in-law for the eldest son at the birthday banquet, and the second son, also have to prepare." Mother Feng was relieved.
"Yes, yes, you're right, then I'll take advantage of my birthday to give Lifeng a good girl." Chu Mu said with a smile.
Kong Yu was kept secret. After the execution, the king of Shanyang carried his body back at night with the people in the mansion, seeing that his only bloodline was dead, and the king of Shanyang was about to die in pain, but what can be done, this Jiangshan is already the Nangong family, even if it is still surnamed Kong, so what, no good thing is his turn in the Shanyang Palace, even during the reign of Kong Qi, the Shanyang Palaces are also transparent.
For the sake of Nanchu's affairs, Chu Lixue and Nangong Yihan were not in the mood to play, but fortunately they returned to Beichen, as for the inspection of Dongyu and Yuexi, Chu Lixue proposed that Shangguan Tianyu, the king of Dingnan, take people to pay a private visit, so that they would learn more about the suffering of the people.
After returning to Beichen, Chu Lifeng has already begun to prepare for his mother's birthday, Mrs. Chu is the biological mother of the queen's mother, the emperor's mother-in-law, even the emperor will come in person at that time, those courtiers naturally dare not slack off, besides, when the old Chu Xiang was alive, the popularity was also very good, otherwise Mrs. Chu would not have taken her two daughters to live a safe and stable life for a few years.
Most of the birthday banquets of this rich and noble family are for their own children and daughters, and the officials of Beichen don't know that the two uncles of the current dynasty are both good-looking talents, and they are very valued by the emperor.
On the day of Chu's mother's birthday banquet, Chu Lifeng and Chu Liyu started to prepare early, after all, both of them were men and didn't know much about the housework, and thanks to the help of Feng's mother and Chu Lishuang, the birthday banquet was successfully prepared.
Chu Lifeng and Chu Liyu stood at the door to greet the guests, while Feng Mu and Chu Lishuang invited the ladies to sit on the east side of the garden. And those families who have school-age daughters in the family, all of them brought their daughters dressed up in fancy ways, Chu's mother looked at so many famous and noble girls, and she was very happy in her heart, as long as she used some heart to choose a daughter-in-law for herself among these people.
Zuo is not a mean mother-in-law, she will definitely not abuse other people's daughters, she has also become a mother-in-law from a daughter-in-law, so why embarrass the other party. Besides, the son still has to work for the imperial court, and if he doesn't get along well with his daughter-in-law, he will definitely make his son worry about things at home.
Therefore, she must choose a woman with good character to be her daughter-in-law, if there is such a daughter-in-law, she is also willing to love her daughter.
After the Chu Mansion was renovated, the courtyard next door was bought and used together, and the old lady Chu thought that after all, she had two sons, and the sons would need a place when they got married in the future, so the garden of the Chu family was also extraordinarily larger, and a nine-fold corridor separated the garden, and under the corridor was a pool of turquoise lake.
All the women waited on the east side of the garden, while all the men were on the west side. Mother Feng and Chu Lishuang both sat with Mother Chu in the east, and those who wanted to climb relatives greeted them with a smile.
"Mrs. Chu, this is my little daughter Zhu Yuying, who is sixteen years old this year, hurry, salute Mrs. Chu." Mrs. Zhu said with a smile.
Immediately, a woman wearing a peach-colored gold jacquard satin collared long jacket with a clear face stood in front of Mrs. Chu and saluted respectfully: "Little girl Yuying, please say hello to Mrs. Chu, I wish Mrs. Chu happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." "The sound is as nice as a silver bell, and it's really lovely.
Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, there are so many noble girls from the court and the middle of the court today, she is already dizzying, and she doesn't know which one to choose, in her opinion, these girls are also good, but she doesn't know what her character is.
"Miss Yuying, don't be polite. You can come to the old woman's birthday for the old woman's face. Mrs. Chu said lightly.
"Mrs. Chu, what you said, it is our blessing to celebrate your birthday, the queen mother is the mother of the world, and the two uncles of the country are deeply respected by the emperor, it is Madame that you give us face to come to your birthday." A lady in her thirties said with a smile.
"Are you ......" Mrs. Chu was confused, too, there are too many people who come to the birthday banquet today, and the few ladies she knew at the beginning remembered, but she didn't know any of the upstarts over the years.
"Mrs. Chu, my husband is Dong Ze, the imperial history of the left capital, and this is the little girl Qiaofeng." Mrs. Dong also hurriedly pushed her daughter out like a treasure.
But Dong Qiaofeng is a little reluctant, she has a daughter's family, and she is just rushing to please other people's mothers, is it a little too skinless and shameless. However, looking at this cloud city, which son's son can be suitable for him.
Since the mother has already allowed herself to bow, if she doesn't do it herself, won't she make both sides lose face? "The little girl Dong Qiaofeng, I have seen the old lady Chu, and I wish the old lady all the best, good health and peace."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chu smiled and helped Dong Qiaofeng, this Dong Qiaofeng doesn't look like Yuying is more stable, but I just feel that this girl doesn't like to be close to people? Could it be that he doesn't want to marry his son?
Mrs. Dong watched it from the side, feeling very uncomfortable, this dead girl actually had a cold face, although it was Mrs. Chu's birthday today, but it was also Mrs. Chu who took this opportunity to choose a daughter-in-law for herself, so many towards the noble girl, she didn't hurry up and behave, waiting for Uncle Guo to be robbed, but she didn't have to find a place to cry.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but glance at Dong Qiaofeng, and Dong Qiaofeng was very indifferent, she understood a truth, if people don't like you, no matter how you behave, you can't get into the eyes of others, but if people like you, even if you don't know anything, the other party will like you.
What's more, she had already let people inquire about it, knowing that this eldest son of the Chu family had a favorite person, so why did she bother to join in the fun. Compared with the eldest son, she prefers the second son. The second son is the same age as himself, and the eldest son is now in his twenties, which is already the father of several children in his twenties among the men in Beichen.
If she had a choice, she would be willing to be the second daughter-in-law, but today she is choosing a daughter-in-law for the eldest son, not the second son.
Mrs. Dong looked at Dong Qiaofeng with a heartless look, and she really wanted to kick her a few times, but this is in the Chu family, not the Dong family, if she teaches Dong Qiaofeng a lesson in front of everyone, others will say that her stepmother treats her ex-wife's children harshly.
Speaking of this Dong Qiaofeng is also pitiful, when she was seven or eight years old, she lost her mother, and she has been growing up under her grandmother's knees, and now Mrs. Dong Zhang is also good to her after passing the door, she has not been harsh in food, clothing and upbringing, and even when she goes to some banquets, she will take her with her, which is also what this Mrs. Dong is admirable.
After Dong Qiaofeng, there were Miss Su Family, Miss Shen Family, Miss Yang Family and other famous ladies who showed their faces in front of Mrs. Chu.
This is just preliminary, and when the birthday banquet begins, it is indispensable for them to perform for fun, and these girls are also prepared, who is the old lady Chu who wants to choose a daughter-in-law for the eldest son.
Although these two uncles are both dragons and phoenixes among people, the eldest son is still better than the second son, for example, what is the inheritance of the title, the inheritance of the family property, the second son of some families is very dissatisfied, isn't it because he was born late? That's not his fault, why all his efforts can't compare to the status of an eldest son.
However, such a thing will not appear in the Chu family, the Chu family has relied on the strength of the two sons from the decline to the recovery, and these two people have all been knighted by the emperor, even if they are going to split up in the future, it will not affect the inheritance of the title.
"Madam, this birthday banquet is about to start, let's all go to the front hall, I believe the emperor and Niangniang will come soon." Mama Qi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's all go to the front hall and wait." Mrs. Chu said with a smile.
All the people went to the front hall to sit down, Mrs. Chu is today's birthday star, and she must be sitting on the main seat, and the table on Mrs. Chu's side is sitting Mrs. Feng, Chu Lifeng and Chu Liyu, and Chu Lishuang and his wife are also sitting below.
At this moment, I only heard a eunuch outside the door singing loudly, "The emperor has arrived...... The queen drove to ......"
Hearing this, everyone knelt on the ground together, waiting for the two most noble people in Beichen Kingdom, and after a while, they saw Nangong Yihan walking in wearing an indigo blue regular dress embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, followed by Chu Lixue, who was wearing a red and white floral embroidered collared long jacket with an apricot yellow satin bottom.
This couple is simply heaven and earth, whether it is appearance or intelligence, these two people are a perfect match, and the little prince is only more than a year old, and he already knows how to coax people to be happy, which shows that this smart child is definitely not simple.
