Grandma Wu San thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "...... However, both the Empress Dowager and the female official Yao mentioned to me the four girls of the Jiang family. Think about it, who is the Queen Mother? It's not just this girl who can make her mention it specifically, right? ”

The person who can make the Queen Mother look at it will definitely not be as simple as being beautiful and capable.

Zhou Huaili nodded, "That makes sense." He asked curiously: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager also mentioned Miss Jiang Si?" ”

Grandma Wu San smiled and didn't answer, but said, "What the Empress Dowager values should be the Jiang family." The Jiang family was originally a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was the mother family of King Zhao, and the Empress Dowager loved King Zhao so much, and she also looked at the Jiang family differently. ”

Zhou Sizong listened for a while and said, "Since this is the case, I will go and inquire about this girl." He asked Zhou Huaili again, "What do you think of this Jiang girl?" ”

The marriage event was originally based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

But Zhou Huaili is not a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy boy, he is already twenty-three years old, so naturally he has to ask his opinion.

Zhou Huaili smiled, "It's all up to my father and mother." This means that he has no objection either.

"Okay, Daddy will call the shots for you." Grandma Wu San said with a smile.

Zhou Huaili stood up, "I'm going to Songtao Garden for dinner in the evening, I'll go back first." ”

Grandma Wu San nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Zhou Sizong picked up a book, shook his head and said to Grandma Wu San: "You can make up your mind about these things." I've been fascinated by reading books lately, you don't have anything important, don't bother me. ”

Today, he couldn't read for more than an hour. What a waste of time.

"It's not important that the Jiang family is a guest?" Grandma Wu San was annoyed. "When will you not be able to read those broken books?! Do you have to watch it here?! ”

"What do you know?! I just found an important clue. I've been so busy these days that my eyes are rickety! Zhou Sizong glared at Grandma Wu San.

"What important clue?!" Grandma Wu San glared back without showing weakness, "What does it have to do with us?" ”

"It has nothing to do with us, but it has to do with your niece." Zhou Sizong hummed and chirped.

Zhou Huaili, who had just walked to the door, couldn't help but slow down when he heard this.

"My niece-in-law? I have a lot of nieces and nephews, which one do you say? "Grandma Wu San shook Zhou Sizong with a handkerchief.

Zhou Sizong looked up from the book, frowned, and said, "Of course it's your mother's heavy pupil saint." ”

"She?" Grandma Wu San snorted, "That's a Bodhisattva, not something that ordinary people can afford." He said. deliberately glanced at Zhou Huaili, who had obviously slowed down at the door.

"Hehe, then you're wrong. You see, this "Chronicle of Foreign Objects" says that the world regards the double pupil as the appearance of the saint, but the saint is created by heaven and earth, and the double pupil is not born together. Zhou Sizong pointed to a sentence in the book and said.

"What do you mean?" Grandma Wu San couldn't understand these words.

This means that a saint is not necessarily a person with double pupils. The so-called double pupil appearance, the saint out, may also refer to two people. When a person with a double pupil appears, so does a saint. Zhou Sizong smiled, "Got it, right?" ”

"I don't understand." Grandma Wu San shook her head. But he added: "There is some truth to this. Look at Juan'er, since she opened her eyes. Everyone found out that she had heavy pupils and thought she was a saint, but after so many years, I really didn't see anything special about her. On the contrary, none of her loved ones ended well. Grandma Wu San pursed her lips, "My eldest brother even lost the position of the son, thanks to her mother." ”

Zhou Sizong hurriedly said: "I can't say that. Maybe she's really a saint? That's why I went through these tribulations. You see that the words in this book are also the words 'not necessarily', which does not mean that it must not be! ”

"Are you not going to be able to live if you don't raise the bar with me for a day!" Grandma Wu San was so annoyed that she knocked on the table.

Zhou Sizong smiled, ignored her, and buried his head in the book again.

Zhou Huaili sighed, lifted the curtain and walked out.

He stood under the cloister in front of the door, quietly watched the scenery in the courtyard for a while, and walked out slowly.

……

In the Qingyuan Hall in the inner courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion, Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan walked to the inner room together.

"Why do you want to salute Grandma Cao?" Sheng Siyan asked softly.

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at her and didn't answer her words, but asked, "Are you going to see Ah Cai?" ”

Sheng Siyan was immediately diverted, his eyes were shining, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and he said in surprise: "Huh? Can you really go to see Ah Cai?! ”

"When I'm free." Zhou Huaixuan smiled slightly, saying that this matter was over, and he should not ask again.

Sheng Siyan understood his intentions, and punched him lightly on the shoulder with hatred.

The two of them talked in the room for a while, and then went to Songtao Garden for dinner.

Old Mrs. Zhou is very quiet these days, and everyone's life is much better.

This dinner was a good meal, and everyone has not been so happy for a long time.

Grandma Wu San inherited the favor of Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan today, and she was also very respectful to their room.

After dinner, Old Man Zhou was finally able to play chess with Sheng Siyan again, and immediately called her to the chess room next to her, set up the chessboard, and began to "fight".

Zhou Huaixuan was not in a hurry to leave, and stood alone under the corridor outside, watching the night in a daze.

The three elders of Zhou Chengzong, Zhou Jizong, and Zhou Sizong took Zhou Huaili and several of their juniors to eat tea and gossip in the small suite.

Mrs. Zhou, Grandma Feng, Grandma Hu Er, and Grandma Wu San took the girls to sit on the other side eating tea and chatting.

"Uncle, I heard that it's not peaceful outside?" Zhou Huaizhi asked curiously.

Zhou Chengzong smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and squinted to enjoy the fragrance of tea.

Zhou Jizong glanced at Zhou Chengzong, and when he saw that he didn't object, he smiled and said, "It's not peaceful outside, it's not strange at all." ”

Even Zhou Sizong, who has always been immersed in books, nodded and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has been in charge of the government for so many years, and the effort she has paid is not a little bit. It's not that easy to rule by looking down. There's still a long way to go. ”

Zhou Huaili is a smart person. Understand it right away. He let out a low "ah" and said several words in a row, "I see, I see".

Some of the others understood, some didn't, but they all listened attentively.

These people are the descendants of their gods.

After the gods will be in the house, it will depend on them.

The three Zhou Chengzong brothers glanced at each other, smiled, and went separately.

……

Wu Guogong Mansion.

Wu Chanjuan went to Old Man Wu to say goodbye. Seeing that Old Man Wu was fascinated looking at a picture, he called softly: "Grandfather." ”

Old Man Wu turned around and saw that it was Wu Chanjuan who came in, and beckoned: "Juan'er, come and see this land." ”

Wu Chanjuan walked over, "What place?" ”

"This is the land I prepared for your eldest cousin and his family. If they want to move out of the Divine General's Mansion, they must have a place to live, right? Old Man Wu sighed and shook his head, "You see this place is good, right?" ”

Wu Chanjuan took a closer look and said in surprise: "It's very close to the Divine General's Mansion." Isn't the land there cheap? ”

Old Man Wu shook his head. "Of course it's not cheap, and it's expensive. But to their family. It's good value for money, and it's worth it to be a little more expensive. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Chanjuan with a smile and quipped, "How is it?" Grandfather gave you this land as a dowry, do you say okay? ”

Wu Chanjuan understood what Old Man Wu meant, and was surprised and delighted, "Grandfather! Are you serious?! ”

Old Man Wu neither nodded nor shook his head, but said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Grandfather helped you build a bridge, but whether you can cross the river or not, grandfather doesn't count. ”

Wu Chanjuan bit her lip, walked over and grabbed Old Man Wu's sleeve and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Grandfather, you are so capable, if you want to say it, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”

"Hahahaha...... Juan'er really looks up to her grandfather. Old Man Wu smiled heartily, "However, it also depends on what they mean." ”

If people don't want to, they can't force Zhou Huaili to marry Wu Chanjuan, right?

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

One is a grandson and the other is a granddaughter, both of whom are his relatives.

"Grandfather!" Wu Chanjuan stomped her feet and ran back to her Han Cuixuan with a shy face.

She didn't expect that her heart had been discovered by Old Man Wu.

And Old Man Wu not only did not reprimand her, but also had the intention of helping her.

With grandfather intervening, do the eldest cousin and aunt dare to say the word "no"?

Besides, the eldest cousin obviously has feelings for himself...... Right?

Wu Chanjuan smiled happily, got up to the dressing table, and held the makeup box left by her mother in her hand......

……

August is the time when the fragrance of osmanthus fills the capital.

The Empress Dowager held a golden laurel feast in the palace, and posted a post inviting the girls and children of the big families in the capital who were not married to enter the palace to appreciate the laurels.

The crown prince helped the empress dowager to manage the outer hall and entertain the male guests.

The Empress Dowager personally presided over a feast in the inner palace and entertained the female dependents.

Wu Chanjuan also received an invitation to enter the palace for a banquet with Wu Chanying, another unmarried girl of the Wu family.

When arranging the seats, she found that she was actually sitting with the girls of the Jiang family, her heart moved, and she took the initiative to say hello to them with a smile, especially to Jiang Siniang: "Miss Jiang Si, let's meet again." ”

Jiang Siniang smiled: "Yes, let's meet again." Because Wu Chanjuan is Zhou Huaili's cousin, Jiang Siniang is in a different mood now, and she treats Wu Chanjuan doubly affectionately and wants to envelop her.

Wu Chanjuan smiled, talked with Jiang Siniang, and asked her sister-in-law Li Yanniang how she was.

"Alas, it's a pity that the Empress Dowager only invites girls and boys who are not married to the palace, otherwise I would still be able to see your sister-in-law. I'm the best with your sister-in-law. Wu Chanjuan smiled and greeted people she knew.

Because Wu Chanjuan was personally brought over by Female Officer Yao, the people here saw that she was still a little decent in front of the Empress Dowager, so they were quite enthusiastic about her.

Wu Chanjuan seems to have returned to the old days, her mother is still alive, and everyone is holding her......

After a round of greetings, Wu Chanjuan's forehead sweated slightly.

The girl sitting next to her looked at her double pupil curiously, turned around and asked the person next to her, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to choose a concubine, has your family received the will?" ”

"Nope. I haven't made an order yet. A few girls who knew whispered.

Some of these girls from high-ranking families are willing to enter the palace to fight for a future, and some are unwilling. But speaking of which. It is inevitable to talk about the issue of marriage.

Wu Chanjuan couldn't interject.

The girl of their four families. You can't marry the royal family.

The emperor chooses concubines, and the most idle are the girls of their four families.

Wu Chanjuan idly poked a piece of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root in her bowl with chopsticks.

"Second Miss Wu, you're fine, don't worry about choosing a concubine. What kind of amazing husband are you going to find for you? Female Officer Yao walked over, put a hand on Wu Chanjuan's back, and said with a chuckle.

Wu Chanjuan turned around in surprise and hurriedly stood up.

"No, no, you can sit down." Lady Yao smiled and held her down. "I'm just curious. Second Miss Wu is not young, right? Are you married? If not, do you want the Empress Dowager ......" Lady Yao looked at her and grinned.

Wu Chanjuan's heart suddenly rose a trace of unhappiness, the corner of her eyes flickered, and the girls of the Jiang family who were sitting next to her seemed to be staring at this side, not wanting to show weakness, so she showed a smiling face, and said a little shyly: "This kind of thing, how can Lady Yao ask me?" My grandfather will call the shots. ”

"Oh?" Lady Yao seemed to be very interested, "Old Man Wu has been busy buying land recently, so I didn't see you to see him?" ”

My grandfather said. It was a dowry for me. Wu Chanjuan said while glancing at Jiang Siniang's face next to her. Seeing that there were some small red bumps on the side of her face, she couldn't help but smile, and her heart was very happy.

Jiang Siniang tilted her head and was talking to the girl on the table next to her.

The girl was smiling and saying, "...... I heard that your house is very close to the third room of the Divine General's Mansion? ”

Wu Chanjuan lowered her eyes and smiled, turned back to Female Officer Yao and said slowly: "My grandfather said that I and my eldest cousin are childhood sweethearts, and it is best to kiss each other." ”

As soon as her words came out, Wu Chanjuan saw that Jiang Siniang's face suddenly turned snow-white, and the red bumps on her side face became more dazzling.

Wu Chanjuan couldn't help but think, if only the eldest cousin was here and saw the face of this fourth girl Jiang with her own eyes...... Much worse than myself......

"Huh? Congratulations! Lady Yao smiled happily, "I want to congratulate the Divine General's Mansion and the Wu Guogong Mansion on their marriage again!" ”

The girls around looked at it curiously.

Wu Chanjuan had an idea, and she simply didn't deny it, just smiled and lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

Lady Yao's purpose was achieved, and she returned to another room to report to the Empress Dowager.

"Oh? Old Man Wu actually has the idea of kissing and kissing? That's good......" The Empress Dowager smiled meaningfully, got up and said, "Go out and have a look." With these little girls like flowers, the mourning family feels dozens of years younger......"

Coming to the main hall of the feast, the Empress Dowager walked around with a smile, deliberately stopped at the table of Wu Chanjuan and the Jiang family girl, and talked to Wu Chanjuan and Jiang Siniang, but she was impartial, and she did not raise Wu Chanjuan more, nor did she be enthusiastic about Jiang Siniang.

However, the Empress Dowager took a deep look at Wu Chanjuan's heavy pupils, picked up her chin with her hand and took a closer look, and said, "It's really a good pair of heavy pupils......"

The Empress Dowager's hand was cold and vigorous, resting on Wu Chanjuan's chin, and there was a feeling that made her shudder.

She instinctively winced as she watched the Empress Dowager turn and leave.

After eating a table of banquets, some palace people came over and led everyone to the imperial garden to see the osmanthus flowers.

Wu Chanjuan took her cousin Wu Chanying and followed the palace people in front of her to walk slowly on the flower path, looking at the scenery of the imperial garden left and right, and did not notice that the two of them were led to a fork in the road.

Walking around a corner, she suddenly saw several men striding in front of her.

Wu Chanjuan hurriedly avoided standing on the side of the road.

The men walked past her, and suddenly one of them stopped and looked at her steadily.

Wu Chanjuan was a little unhappy, and looked up with a frown. - It's actually King Zhao.

King Zhao's face was very bad, he looked at Wu Chanjuan's expression, as if he was going to hit someone, especially the heavy pupils that were staring at her tightly, which made Wu Chanjuan's heart more and more flustered, so she hurriedly didn't start, bit her lower lip, and curtsied: "I've seen King Zhao." ”

Wu Chanying also saluted.

King Zhao endured and endured, and then he "snorted" heavily, flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Wu Chanjuan silently glanced at King Zhao's back, pursed her lips, turned around and continued to walk forward.

After walking a few more steps, she met Emperor Xia Qidi and Wang Yixing and his party.

Wu Chanjuan couldn't help but secretly complain. - How did the palace people in front lead the way?! Actually took her to a dead end!

Emperor Xia Qi walked past Wu Chanjuan without paying attention.

Wang Yixing suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Wu's second." He said. He said to Emperor Xia Qi in front of him: "Your Majesty." This is the famous heavy pupil saint Wu Er girl. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xia Qi took two steps back. came to Wu Chanjuan and ordered: "Raise your head." ”

Wu Chanjuan had no choice but to raise her head and look at Emperor Xia Qi.

Emperor Xia Qi gasped, "This heavy pupil is really extraordinary. "The inky pupils are like a deep starry sky, overlapping and overlapping, with no end in sight.

Wang Yixing also said: "It's really amazing." Our Great Xia Dynasty has been a thousand years, and there has only been such a heavy pupil saint. It's a pity that I was born in the Mansion of Wu Guo......"

Emperor Xia Qi's heart moved. Thinking of King Zhao, he glanced at Wang Yixing, "Let's go." What do you do with verbose? There's a lot of work to be done yet. With that, he strode away.

Wang Yixing smiled, nodded to Wu Chanjuan, and said, "Why did Second Miss Wu come here?" This is not a place for women. As he spoke, he showed the way to their sisters.

Wu Chanjuan nodded hurriedly and thanked her, and took her sister Wu Chanying to the road pointed out by Wang Yixing.

As a result, they walked for a while, and came to an open place, where they heard thunderous cheers.

In the midst of that earth-shattering roar. Wu Chanjuan actually heard Zhou Huaili's voice clearly, and she was overjoyed. Without thinking too much, he stepped out.

In front of her, there was a huge field.

There are several arrow targets on the opposite side, and many sons of the family are competing in archery.

The one who won the jackpot today was Zhou Huaili, the fourth son of the Divine General's Mansion!

"Big cousin!" Wu Chanjuan beckoned to him in surprise.

Zhou Huaili turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was Wu Chanjuan coming, so he hurriedly walked over, pulled her and Wu Chanying to the side and didn't let people see it, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you in the inner palace?" How did you get here? ”

Wu Chanjuan smiled and said, "It's a fork in the road." However, it's a good mistake, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see my eldest cousin. As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and wiped the sweat on Zhou Huaili's forehead with a handkerchief.

Zhou Huaili looked at her charming heavy pupils steadily, and his heart was in a trance, and after a while, he pushed her away.

was about to speak, but he heard someone behind him laugh and shout, "Yo! Sure enough, it's a cousin! Affectionate family, how do others get in?! - Thursday Child, Thursday Child, you hurry up and mention your relatives! ”

Zhou Huaili turned around angrily, but saw that it was a son-in-law who usually liked to go against him, so he walked over without thinking, grabbed the placket of the other party's clothes, and smashed it down with a fist.

The boy and brother suddenly howled like a pig.

Wu Chanjuan's eyes rolled, she had an idea in her heart, and she shouted while trying to come up and help.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chanying was in a hurry, grabbed her shirt tightly, and desperately dragged her back.

Finally, before those sons and brothers ran over, they pulled Wu Chanjuan back to the road where they came just now.

"What are you catching me for?!" Wu Chanjuan said annoyedly, brushing her hair with her hands.

Although Wu Chanying is two years younger than Wu Chanjuan, she is much calmer than her, and when she heard this, she lowered her face and said, "Second sister, what do you want to do?" Do you know how important a woman's name is? It's no longer right for you to talk about it at the table today, and now you want to ......"

"What do you want? What's the matter with you?! Wu Chanjuan pushed Wu Chanying away with one hand, "You have your father and mother to help you plan, but I don't!" I don't plan for myself, who plans for me?! Wu Chanjuan said, crying.

Wu Chanying was even more anxious, she stomped her feet, "Second sister! Now is not the time to cry! Let's go back! As he spoke, he pulled Wu Chanjuan's arm and pulled her back.

Wu Chanjuan didn't have Wu Chanying's strength, so she was actually dragged back by her and saw the palace people who had just led them out.

The faces of the people in the palace turned white with fright, and they said tremblingly: "Come with me, the girls have gone over there." As he spoke, he turned and walked forward.

Wu Chanjuan gradually stopped crying, and followed Wu Chanying to join the girls.

Fortunately, there were many people, except for Jiang Siniang, no one noticed that she had just been separated from everyone.

Everyone enjoyed osmanthus together, ate crabs, made poems and lyrics, and showed their talents.

Even the Queen Mother and the Queen came to have fun, deliberately picked a few girls, and secretly observed.

……

When Jiang Siniang came back from the palace, the first thing she did was to say to her mother, Grandma Cao: "Mother, let's find someone else." ”

She knew that Grandma Cao and Grandma Wu San had been very close these days, and the relationship between the two families was a layer of paper.

"What do you say? Marriage is a major event, it is not a child's play, how can it be said that it is successful, and it cannot be said that it cannot be achieved? Grandma Cao sank her face and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Siniang pursed her mouth, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help crying: "My cousin wants to marry my cousin, what should I do to make a stumbling block in the middle?!" ”
