Chapter 743: Offering Prisoners (Part II)

Eleven Niang was indeed a little embarrassed at this time.

“…… The fortune teller said that he should be at least three years younger. There is no hurry. At this point, everyone was half joking and half true, and I never knew what to do. She looked at Mrs. Tang Si apologetically, "Why do you have to be busy for a while before you can sit down and discuss with Master Hou." ”

"That's nature." Mrs. Tang Si looked unimpressed, and said with a smile that did not diminish, "The sixth young master has just gained a future, and there are still many things to be busy with. She said, covering her mouth and smiling, "Don't say it, when I think about it now, I feel more and more that the sixth young master is a match for our eldest lady - the sixth young master is fifteen this year, and the eldest lady of our family is twelve this year; The sixth young master is the second son of the Hou Ye, and the eldest lady of our family is the eldest granddaughter of the prince of our house, not to mention the virtue and merit of our eldest lady, who has invited an aunt from the palace to help train since she was a child...... "Mrs. Tang Si said while observing Shi Niang's expression, seeing that Shi Niang was always faint, she couldn't help but drum in her heart.

Could it be that the rumors are true?

Both the Zhou family and the Sun family are interested in getting close to the Xu family?

Or because the Tang family has married several daughters-in-law and aunts in recent years, all of them are the families of powerful ministers, although they look at the flowers, they don't get much good, especially Shaohua's marriage back then, for fear of offending the Marquis of Jianning and marrying the eldest daughter of their family, who knows that as soon as the queen mother died, the Yang family was blown away, not to mention, but also put Shaohua's future into it, and Yanjing's meritorious family was afraid of offending the first emperor, and everyone secretly avoided it, so that the Tang family and Yanjing's nobles have gone farther and farther away over the years.

The Xu family is the opposite.

First of all, the emperor pointed out that Xu Si, who had never led soldiers, had fought in battles, and was not yet in the age of the weak crown, followed Ouyang Ming to chase down Duoyan, and when he heard that Ouyang Ming was defeated and Brother Jin chased the enemy into the grass wish, there was no news, and immediately ordered Gong Dongning to personally lead the army to find someone, and despite the opposition of Chen Gelao and Lu Shangshu and others, he transferred the middle army and the rear army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to Xuantong and sent additional troops...... Although Duoyan was finally caught by Xu Sijin, the emperor named Gong Dongning as the Marquis of Xining and Xu Sijin as Wujin Bo before he could sacrifice his prisoners at noon...... Everyone was joking in private, if it weren't for rewarding Xu Sijin, I'm afraid Gong Dongning's Xining Hou wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

Then Xu Lingyi took advantage of the great victory in the northwest to say "measure the given fields, and redefine the number of fields according to the rank of officials", which was approved by the emperor, which solved the danger of harvesting the land, and doubled Xu Lingyi's prestige among the dukes, which was a few points higher than when he pacified the northwest.

The emperor has just ascended the throne not long ago, and in time, the Xu family will not be the same for a while!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tang Si's idea of marrying the Xu family became even more persistent.

In terms of intimacy, the Xu family is naturally closer to the Zhou family and the Sun family. With such empty lips and white teeth, Xu Sijin is the only biological son of Eleven Niang, and he has a knighthood meritorious service, let alone Eleven Niang, if she is replaced, she will not easily agree.

This matter has to be considered in the long run.

It's best to find the same person as Eleven Niang to come forward and make peace, and then make some articles on the eldest lady's dowry, whether it is a favor or brocade, there is always something that can impress her!

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Tang Si only felt that she would not be able to go down for a moment.

What she can think of, others can naturally think of, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it!

"You're busy these days, too!" Mrs. Tang Si stood up with a smile, "I'll go back first." When Brother Jin comes back, I'll come back to ask for a glass of wine! ”

The Tang family felt very snobbish to Eleven Niang, she didn't want to marry the Tang family, Mrs. Tang Si was leaving, she naturally couldn't ask for it, smiled and said a few kind words, and personally sent Mrs. Tang Si to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Outside the Hanging Flower Gate, a simple black lacquer flat-topped carriage was parked, and the embroidered ribbon with the silver dragon pattern that could only be used by a senior member was hung, and surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, the fifth lady Danyang County Lord affectionately pulled a white woman wearing a lake-colored treasure bottle makeup gown and said something.

Mrs. Tang Si's eyes narrowed slightly.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

I didn't expect to meet Dingnan Hou Shimu at the door!

Before the Fifth Lady and Mu Shi could react, Mrs. Tang Si had already stepped forward to greet with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingnan here, you are a rare guest!" ”

Mu is introverted, the Sun family is thin, and her husband is the heir, so she rarely walks around.

Hearing Mrs. Tang Si say this, her face turned red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tang Si.

The fifth lady was facing her sister-in-law, and while greeting Mrs. Tang Si, she smiled and said: "My sister-in-law often comes, but Mrs. Tang Si rarely comes, and most of them can't be touched!" ”

Mrs. Tang Si laughed.

A few people stood there and greeted for a while, Mrs. Tang Si got into the carriage, and Mrs. Five, Mu Shi and Eleven Niang entered the Weeping Flower Gate.

When the curtain was lowered, Mrs. Tang Si saw that the fifth lady stepped aside, and deliberately let Mu and Shi Niang side by side, but Mu took the opportunity to take Shi Niang's arm and said something again, which made Shi Niang laugh.

She couldn't help frowning.

Go back and discuss it with Mrs. Tang in a low voice.

Mrs. Tang thought for a while before she said: "The dowry is easy to say, as long as the Xu family agrees, we will add another two percent according to the dowry of the eldest lady of the Xu family back then." As for the matchmakers...... Please ask the wife of the Zhongqin uncle's family. For so many years, Eleven Niang has never been free for the New Year's holidays. ”

Mrs. Tang Si was still a little hesitant: "Mrs. Gan is a widow after all, is it appropriate to let her go?" I think Mrs. Xu Si and Grandma Huang San have a good relationship, and the marriages of several children of the Xu family are matchmakers made by Grandma Huang San......"

"You know what?" Mrs. Tang interrupted Mrs. Tang Si's words, "Just because the marriages of several children of the Xu family are matchmakers made by Grandma Huang San, those who want to marry the Xu family, I'm afraid that eight or nine times out of ten they will invite Grandma Huang San to explore the wind, instead of rushing up, let Grandma Huang San think about it in her heart first, it is better to go to Mrs. Gan - it's just to help deliver a message, if the Xu family has this meaning, naturally they will invite another matchmaker!" He added, "You can go to Gan's house in the afternoon." The eldest lady of the Sun family, I have seen it, is very outstanding. ”

Mrs. Tang Si nodded hurriedly "yes", changed her clothes and went to Uncle Zhongqin's house.

Mrs. Gan knew Mrs. Tang Si's intention, and first blocked Mrs. Tang Si's way: "You and I have thought about it." My niece, who is eleven years old this year, and her mother-in-law's family. My sister-in-law heard that the sixth young master has not yet been married, and she came to this matter in person yesterday, and she is going to ask my mother-in-law to ask Mrs. Xu what she means! ”

"That's a good idea!" Mrs. Tang Si did not show weakness, "Lest Mrs. Tai make two trips for one thing." ”

Mrs. Gan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but she couldn't get rid of it, and reluctantly accompanied Mrs. Tang Si to see Mrs. Gan.

Mrs. Gan excused herself in every possible way: "Since you have come to invite me, you can also afford me, if it is something else, I will take it personally, but this matter is not good—in any case, I am also a widow." What Mrs. Ren Tangsi said, she just shook her head.

Mrs. Tang Si had no choice but to leave disappointed.

Mrs. Gan's personal mother-in-law couldn't help but wonder: "Do you think that the eldest lady of the Tang family and the sixth young master of the Xu family are not a good match?" ”

Although he is a widow, he has a message, and he is not a matchmaker, so why should he refuse so righteously and sternly, and offend people in vain!

"Every family has a scripture." Mrs. Gan said solemnly, "I can't see it much, I don't know what kind of scene it is outside." Eleven Niang is also a person who values affection, why should I cause her some trouble. Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, revealing a pleasant smile, "Count the days, Brother Jin will be back in five days, right?" ”

"yes!" The woman said with a smile, "It is said that the army arrived in Beijing on the 29th and was stationed near the Xishan army, and on the 30th, the Ministry of Rites told the suburban palace and the temple, and the first day of the seventh month was holding a prisoner ceremony." ”

"I don't know if Brother Jin has lost weight?" Mrs. Tai nagged and opened the boxwood rounded cabinet on the side of the kang, took out the clothes made for Brother Jin'er and counted them again, and then said, "You will send me over early tomorrow morning." ”

The mother-in-law responded with a smile on her face, and went to the lotus early the next morning.

"I made so many clothes for Brother Jin'er." Shi Niang smiled and asked the good mother-in-law to thank Mrs. Gan, and said, "When Brother Jin comes back, I will take him to give Mrs. Mrs. a look." ”

The mother-in-law said "don't dare".

Eleven Niang asked people to reward ten taels of silver to the woman and served tea.

Amber smiled and took the clothes to the cage with the shepherd boy playing the flute carved on the camphor wood on the side: "I see, the sixth young master doesn't need to make clothes for three years!" ”

"Not just three years!" Eleven Niang walked over to help sort out the clothes, "I don't think I need to make clothes for five years!" ”

"Look at what Madame said!" Amber smiled, "It's because you're too strict with the Sixth Young Master - like this middle coat, you have to wear it until the collar is yellow, and if it were someone else, it would have been changed every season." ”

"That's going to be tough!" Eleven Niang smiled, "I don't know how many people in this world can't afford to wear this Songjiang Sansuo cloth!" He's extravagant enough! ”

Amber smiled and was about to speak, when a little girl in green clothes buzzed through the screen of the silk veil: "Madam, the peacock of the sixth young master has flew!" ”

Eleven Niang was taken aback: "How could the peacock fly!" As he spoke, his eyes followed the prestige.

I saw that the little guy was thin, but very tall, although he came to pay respects, he held his head high, and his posture seemed very upright, without the slightest cowardice and humility of those who lived under others.

This is the inner courtyard, why did you send a tall little maid who doesn't look like a child to do things? And this little guy still looks proud, obviously an assertive person. It's okay to say that if you meet Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Second or Mrs. Five, none of them will be able to answer well, but I'm afraid that they will have to eat the board.

She frowned secretly and walked out.

"Whose errand are you under ......" didn't say a word, and Eleven Niang was already stunned.

Amber also felt that there was something wrong with this little guy, and after listening to Eleven Niang's words, she faintly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly walked out, and said sharply: "What did Madam ask you?" How do you ......" raised his eyes and saw a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes with obsidian-like sparkles.

"Six, Sixth Young Master......" Amber opened her mouth and smiled.

Xu Si grinned.

Eleven Niang had stepped forward and hugged her son: "Brother Jin, Brother Jin, why are you?" Tears fell involuntarily.
