In the blink of an eye, it was July 18, and on this day, Mrs. Tai first invited the specially invited elders of the clan to the outer garden, and then asked the family members of each branch to gather together with their children, plus Yun Xian and Yun Steward, and conducted a primary election, not a final word. This method is a bit surprising to everyone, but it makes sense to think about it.

When everyone saw that Mrs. Xinhou was not present, and the second master of Yunfu was not present, they all understood in their hearts that these two people were out of power.

After the primary election on July 18, all branches returned to the garden to wait for news, but because Xiu did not participate in the primary election, and no one came to Zhiyanxuan to inquire about the news, it was completely cleaned. But Yun Xian's Changfeng Xuan was overcrowded because of this, and all kinds of news emerged every day, but none of them came out of Yun Xian's mouth in person.

It took two days before the results of the primary election were made public. In the end, Mrs. Tai only picked six children to come out, and the rest of the unsuccessful ones were given the same amount of rewards, which were worth a lot of money, and they were not allowed to come in vain.

As for the rest of the children who have passed the primary election, Mrs. Tai is closely taken care of and never leaves an inch to avoid the occurrence of poisoning and framing, and prevent problems before they happen.

Early in the morning of July 22, Mrs. Tai summoned Xiu to accompany her to breakfast, and then screened the remaining children in Rongjin Hall. This time, except for Mrs. Tai and her six children, she was the only one present.

Out of Xiu looked around and found a strange phenomenon, the children brought by each branch, some were only two or three years old, but now those who have passed the primary election are all stature, the youngest is four or five years old, the big one has grown up, and there are always seven or eight years old.

Izumi is a little puzzled, shouldn't children be educated as young as possible? Aren't such children who have minds afraid that they will have different minds in the future?

As if she knew what Chu Xiu was thinking, without waiting for her to ask, Mrs. Tai had already said faintly: "I discussed with the elders of the clan a few days ago, this is the heir of the Lixin Hou Mansion, and the choice is the prince, but it is not for you to find a child to be a nurse for him." ”

Izumi was so teased by this metaphor that she didn't know how to reply, but she heard Mrs. Tai say again: "The older children are good, and they can see a rough idea of how their hearts and wits are." What's the use of having two or three years old? Looking at it now, who knows what it will look like in the future? ”

"Isn't there a saying, 'Three years old sees old'?" Out of Xiu puzzled.

"That's!" Mrs. Tai snorted coldly: "If it is 'three years old and sees the old', Yunqi was loved more than anyone else when he was a child, and the governor respected the old and had a sweet mouth, I don't know how much better than Ci'er and the third child." Do you look at it now? ”

Izumi had to smile and understand what Mrs. Tai meant. She doesn't need to hide her life experience from this child, on the contrary, she has to tell him that he is a successor, as long as the child is pure in his heart, knows how to repay his kindness, and does not worry that he will not work hard and be filial to his elders.

"Without further ado, I won't tell you who sent these children, you just have to look at the children, and tell me which one you like." Mrs. Tai looked like she had handed over her power, and she bowed her head at the Buddhist scriptures.

This can be regarded as a stump for Izumi, Mo said that she is a person who has never been a mother, and at this moment, how can she see one, two, three, four? Izuku glanced over, but saw that the six children were lined up according to their heights, all of them were handsome and wearing brocade robes, and they were all standing there with their heads bowed regardless of their age, waiting for questions with a deferential look.

Izuku looked at it for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more she couldn't lift her spirits, and for some reason, she always felt that these children lacked something. Maybe she loves Yun Ci too much in her heart, so she also has a general outline of the candidate for the prince - no matter how looks, temperament, or talents, they should be like Yun Ci in order to be worthy of being the prince of the Marquis of Xin's mansion.

She was a little dazed, although she knew that the children were still young and their temperament and temperament had not been cultivated, but she hoped to see some familiar places from them, but ...... She was disappointed.

Izuku sighed softly, and handed the problem back to Mrs. Tai: "It's better for you to decide, I really don't see anything." ”

Mrs. Tai's face remained unchanged, she didn't even lift her eyelids, turned a page of Buddhist scriptures and replied: "You chose your son, not me." In the future, this child is your upbringing, and you can look at it well. ”

Izumi was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and was about to say something more, but he suddenly heard a report from outside the door, from Zhuying: "Mrs. Yutai, Mrs., the Beixi Minzhou branch has been delayed on the road for a few days, and now it has just arrived in Fuzhong, and it is also ...... I brought the child over, saying that I wanted to say hello to the two of you. ”

Hello, please? This word is used very well, not to complain, not to run for election, but to say goodbye. Izuku looked cautiously at Mrs. Tai, waiting for her instructions.

But Mrs. Jian put the Buddhist scriptures on the case casually and said, "No matter what the reason, missing the primary election is a mistake, give them a reward and send it away." ”

"Mrs. Tai......" Izuku was a little unbearable, and said hesitantly: "Fang Cai Zhuying said that this branch is from Beixi Minzhou. Now that Beixi is in the midst of war, Minzhou is the camp of the rebel Chen's clan, but I am afraid that this army will suffer a lot on the road. They have come from thousands of miles to do their best to choose their heirs, so why don't you see them? ”

Izuku thought about it and added: "Maybe there will be an unexpected joy I don't know." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai slowly looked at Chuxiu, raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you look down on these children?" I just want to see which one in Minzhou? ”

Izuku pursed her lips and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Mrs. Tai said "um": "The Minzhou army that was delayed by the war is fake, and the attack is real." Since some people don't want to teach them to choose heirs, I'm afraid that the children they bring are good. If you want to see it, see it. ”

Saying that, Mrs. Tai has motioned to Bamboo Shadow to bring people up.

A very governor of Minzhou, idle people and others did not enter Rongjin Hall, only when the family brought their children into the door, one big and one small knelt down to meet: "Minzhou side branch Yuntan, bring Zi Yunbin, to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Hello." The road came late because of the war, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

Mrs. Tai and Izuku glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised that this Yuntan not only did not complain, but did not even mention the attack, only deduced that the Beixi War delayed the trip.

Seeing that the father and son were both dressed in black, Mrs. Tai did not like the other branches competing to dress up the child's brocade clothes, but she also had a good impression of it, and deliberately asked, "Why are you two dressed in black?" Could it be that something close to you has happened to you? ”

Yuntan didn't raise his head, and replied: "Thank you Mrs. Tai for your care, there were no deaths or injuries on the road, this black-clothed ...... It was worn for the Hou Ye. ”

As soon as these words came out, the tip of his nose was slightly sour, and he only heard Yuntan say again: "When Hou Ye passed away, the Minzhou branch came late and missed the mourning period, and Yuntan has always felt guilty in his heart. ”

"It's not your fault, Beixi Mountain is far away, and it's not easy to come here. Get up and speak! Mrs. Tai sighed softly.

Yuntan was ordered to get up from the ground, and he took a look, about thirty years old, with an angular face, and he was also a talent. I don't know what about my son? She couldn't help but move her gaze to the black-clothed young man beside Yuntan, ** years old, he didn't lower his head, only lowered his head slightly. It doesn't look like other children are afraid and respectful, but it doesn't feel too rude.

Xu is Yuntan after entering the door is very good measure, out of Xiu also has a good impression of this black-clothed young man, was thinking about whether to order him to raise his head, only to see that this young man has raised his eyebrows and let his eyes come, out of Xiu's heart when he "groaned", just about to speak, Mrs. Tai has been in a trance and said: "Resignation ......"

Out of Xiu looked sideways, and saw that Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking. Look at the young man in black again, a pair of deep black eyes are sparkling, just like the night she and Yun Ci first met! And the nose bone, the face shape, and even the jaw are very similar to Yun Ci!

At least, there are six or seven points like! And this is just a ** year old teenager!

The soft silk that was holding the handkerchief couldn't help but tighten slightly, and she was about to cry for a while, and Mrs. Tai stared at the young man intently at this time, and muttered: "Like, really like...... It's exactly the same as when Ci'er was a child. ”

In an instant, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds. But Mrs. Tai is not an emotional person after all, and when she saw the young man named Yunbin raise her eyes by herself, she asked him: "Everyone knows that it is indecent and does not look up, and if you don't listen to the summons, you can't raise your head, how can you not know the number of etiquette?" ”

The young man frowned and thought about it, but he was not afraid or uneasy, and replied very calmly: "The younger generation saw Mrs. Tai and Mrs. for the first time, and he unconsciously raised his head with admiration. ”

The young man spoke frankly, and his tone was a little old-fashioned, but he was still not childish, but he was better at dealing with it calmly. Especially when he calls himself a "junior", he should not know what generation to call him, and he is afraid that he will lose his manners too abruptly, so he calls himself so. It's a cautious and polite child.

Mrs. Tai thought for a moment, then glanced at Chuxiu again, and motioned for her to open her mouth to ask.

Izuku pondered for a moment and asked Yuntan: "Is this child's mother here?" "If you want to see what a child is, you must not ignore its mother.

Unknowingly, Yuntan had a sad face, and replied: "His mother is blessed, and she died four years ago. As the head of the Minzhou branch, I am entangled in affairs on weekdays and neglect to discipline the dogs. This time, when I received the order of Mrs. Tai to choose an heir, it was the clansmen who showed their love that they recommended the dog over......"

In just a few words, a lot of information has been revealed, it seems that this Yuntan is quite prestigious in Minzhou, I don't want him to be young but in his thirties, not only to sit in the position of the side branch as a family member, but also in the case of the death of his wife, to teach the child well. Moreover, if the child's biological mother dies, if he really succeeds him in the future, he must be close to his mother.

Mrs. Tai thought so in her heart, she also knew a very important news about Yuntan. Beixi Minzhou is now the stronghold of the rebel Chen clan, and as the head of the local Yun clan, he not only has to appease the hearts of the clan, but also deal with the coercion and temptation of the Chen clan. But the news that has been reaching her ears has been very stable in Minzhou, and there is no abnormal movement, which shows Yuntan's ability.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Tai looked at Yuntan father and son a few times, and then asked him again: "Your wife passed away, and you didn't continue the string?" ”

Yuntan lowered his eyes and returned: "There is a concubine room at home who is taking care of the housework, as for the continuation of the string...... Not considered at this time. His countenance had regained his composure, and he did not mention the grief of his wife's death, which should have been deliberately restrained.

Looks like an infatuated person! The Yun family has many people who value love and righteousness, and there is a father like this, and the qualifications of this child are good, not to mention, it is also fate that he looks so similar to Yun Ci.

Mrs. Tai glanced at Chuxiu, saw that she also nodded eagerly, and sighed again: "Yuntan, you have to think about it, from now on, he only recognizes Lixinhou as his father, worships Madame Xiu as his mother, and has no blood relationship with you." ”

Yuntan's body was stunned, as if he was reluctant and awe-inspiring: "This is the blessing of the dog." It's better to be by your side than to stay in Minzhou. There was no joy on his face, not like a person who clings to the rich, whether it is true or pretended, it is extremely rare.

Thinking about the son is the wish of parents all over the world, and there is nothing wrong with it. Mrs. Tai nodded and said: "To be the prince of Lixin, you must have the courage to be brave and decisive, and it is up to him to dare to look up at me, which is already very desirable, so just stay." ”
