When the queen proposed to Chen Yuantai, he felt that it was a good family matter. However, the queen concealed from him that the second lady of the Wei Mansion had recognized the Anguo Mansion as a godfather, did she think it was not worth mentioning?

Chen Yuantai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Over the years, he has led thousands of troops to fight in the north and south, and one of the most taboo things he has to do is that his subordinates hide something from him. No matter how big or small the matter is, whether it is worth his energy or not, that is something he has to consider, how can the queen make a decision for him?

The little ninety-nine in the queen's heart, Chen Yuantai also saw it very clearly. Wei Guogong is already old, his son is not a weapon, only his grandson can still be used, and now he is struggling with seniority in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Such a family, the Anguo Mansion originally disdained to make friends.

However, if the marriage between the Duke of Wei and Shen Yao can be completed, the situation will be different.

The Duke of Wei has no way to be among the upstarts, even if he has a son-in-law like Shen Yao, he must have a friendly and supportive backer when his daughters come and go. The Anguo Mansion took over the Wei Mansion and brought the relationship with Shen Yao closer, which was really a profitable deal on both sides.

Chen Yuantai saw that Shen Yao did not express his position immediately, nor did he force him, but only said: "Marriage is a major event in life, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry, find a reliable person to inquire about the situation of Miss Wei Guofu." You don't have elders at home to take care of you, so you have to find someone more stable to help you run the house. ”

Shen Yao thanked him, and Chen Yuantai waved his hand to tell them all to disperse.

Out of the palace gate, Xu Xing took a step first, and Chen Xi asked with a smile on the side: "Little uncle, who are you going to inquire with?" ”

Shen Yao glared at him and said, "Uncle is uncle, what does it mean to add the word 'small' in front of it?" ”

Chen Xi smiled: "You are only five years older than me, and you were Brother A Yao before last month, and you suddenly rose in rank, and I don't fit in!" ”

"It's not going to be comfortable!" Shen Yao smiled, "Your son may be older than my son, and he should be called cousin when the time comes!" ”

Chen Xi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Then it's not my business!" He took a step closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to ask Mingxin?" ”

"So what?" Shen Yao glanced at him, "Don't try to come along!" ”

Chen Xi looked at him with an aggrieved face, and his eyes were full of "Don't treat me as a good person......

Shen Yao ignored him, turned over on the horse, and then said, "The wedding date of the two of you is approaching, and it is not bad these days!" If you enter my house one after the other and are seen, even me, an elder, will be assigned! ”

After speaking, he gave Chen Xi a look of "you will die of this heart", and whipped the horse away.

After noon, Du Mingxin was taken to the Xingguo Mansion by the people sent by Shen Yao.

As soon as she sat down, she was pulled by Shen Yao and asked, "Are you familiar with the young lady of the Wei State Mansion?" ”

Du Mingxin raised his eyes to look at him and asked playfully, "What does Uncle want to do?" ”

"What can I want to do!" Shen Yao smiled wryly, "The queen has told the emperor a message and wants me to marry the young lady of the Wei Mansion." The emperor told me not to be busy, to inquire first, and then to marry a calm and dignified person. ”

Du Mingxin became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Is the emperor really saying that?" ”

"yes!"

Du Ming's heart began to ponder. After a while, Shen Yao asked carefully, "Is there anything else going on here?" ”

Du Mingxin said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't know about the matter of the female dependents. There were two young ladies in the Wei Mansion, and the eldest lady that my uncle met in my carriage that day, and she and the eldest grandson of the Wei Mansion were brothers and sisters of the same mother. The second lady is the biological son of the current Mrs. Shizi, and when she was in Taiping Yuan, the second miss recognized Deng Wenjiao's mother as her stepmother, and the two families got married. ”

Shen Yao thought about the quarrel he heard between the mother and daughter in Taiping Yuan before, and quickly sorted out the relationship here. The conflict between the children born of the original spouse and the stepfamily was originally common in the family.

"So the candidate proposed by the queen should be this second lady." Shen Yao frowned, remembering the sharp and caustic voice he heard over the wall.

Seeing his expression, Du Mingxin felt a little more sure. "Let me tell me, my uncle is naturally better to marry the eldest lady. Sister Ying is beautiful, has a good temper, is smart and generous, and is very comfortable with IKEA! ”

"That's what I thought in my heart," Shen Yao said subconsciously, "But the queen's ......"

Du Mingxin's eyes widened, and he smiled in surprise: "Uncle, are you actually in love with Sister Ying at first sight?" ”

"Little girl, what are you talking about!" Shen Yao's face straightened, but his face turned red.

He hurriedly told Yuan Ying's mother and daughter about meeting that day, and wanted to get rid of it, but Du Mingxin grabbed him and quipped: "Uncle, is this a moment of anger or excitement?" ”

Shen Yao was about to fight, but was gently dodged by Du Mingxin. She smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't have to worry about the queen, everything still has to be up to the emperor after all!" ”

"But the emperor didn't say anything, where can I guess?" Shen Yao was a little depressed.

"It is good to marry two surnames, and the emperor also agreed with his uncle to marry a young lady from the Duke of Wei, and it seems that he has no opinion on the marriage of Yuan and Shen. As for marrying the eldest lady or the second lady, if you think about it carefully, what is the difference for the emperor? ”

"The difference is only here with the Queen. But originally, the Anguo Mansion was planning to marry Deng Wenjiao to the King of Jin, and then ask for the eldest grandson Deng Hong to marry Xu Yuan. But on the side of King Jin, they failed, and the emperor promised Xu Yuan to King Yu, indicating that the emperor did not plan to let the Duke of Anguo get reinforcements through marriage......"

"Wait," Shen Yao suddenly stopped her words, "How do you know that the emperor married Miss Xu to King Yu?" ”

Du Mingxin stuck out his tongue and accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth. She snorted: "I know that I know!" The ladies have nothing to do all day long, and if one person knows about this kind of thing, everyone will know it! You hurry up and marry Sister Ying and enter the door, and you won't miss this kind of thing in the future. ”

Shen Yao pursed his lips and thought about it before he said, "It's a pity that Miss Xu married King Yu, but it's not too bad. ”

Du Ming glanced at his expression, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and while feeling sorry for Xu Yuan in his heart, he was also relieved. Since his uncle has no intention, Xu Yuan also knows that the mandarin dream is difficult to come true, so it is better to forget it as soon as possible.

"How can I say it's a pity? King Yu is the eldest son of the emperor. Du Mingxin pretended to be careless and asked.

"Miss Xu is very smart and well-educated, and she is a rare lady." Shen Yao sighed, "But King Yu has been pampered too much by the Queen Mother and Concubine De since he was a child, and his temperament is not domineering, after all, he is only the eldest son." However, he was very timid and cowardly, and he only knew how to blindly obey the words of the Queen Mother and Concubine De, and he was embarrassed by the big responsibility. ”
