Chapter 698: Discussing Marriage
"What do you think of Yaoyao?"
The Queen Mother asked Mrs. Bai and Zhen with a smile on her face.
The Queen Mother was a little tired, but she was still reluctant to let go of her hand holding Xiao Fuyuan, Xiao Fuyuan realized this, got down from the Queen Mother's knees, and sat beside her obediently.
Originally, Xiao Fuyuan also wanted to go out with Princess Yun'an to enjoy the flowers, but the Queen Mother held her and didn't let go, and she didn't have any intention of letting her out.
She only sat obediently in front of the Queen Mother's lap and listened to the Queen Mother talk about Princess Yun'an and the fourth brother's family affairs while eating fruits.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I and other civilians naturally don't dare to judge Princess Yun'an." Mrs. Bai said very politely.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "In-laws, this is wrong, the mourning family has always advocated the freedom of marriage, and both parties can agree, even the prince and princess cannot force their heads to marry." The mourning family should also give Yaoyao a family that really likes her and loves her, rather than just valuing her princess status. Just be bold and say what you really think. ”
These words are indeed the true thoughts of the Queen Mother.
"Then the Queen Mother, I'll say it directly." Mrs. Bai said, "My fourth child has been pinned on high hopes since he was a child, and he has now won the top prize in the examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, so that the lintel of our Bai family has been replaced from beginning to end." We naturally hope that he will find a good family business, and the Queen Mother should not think I am greedy, I think that the family affairs of the fourth child can not only help him in his career, but also make him really like it. ”
Mrs. Bai said it very bluntly.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was relieved.
Since Bai Panmei was admitted to the champion and entered the center of the power vortex in the capital, his family affairs have attracted much attention. Whoever he marries with will release a signal of alliance to the outside world.
If the Bai family only hopes that Bai Panmei will find someone who knows and loves each other, it is impossible.
In that case, it's better to make things clear.
"Auntie, what my mother-in-law said is very straightforward, but it is the truth." Zhen said.
"Yaoyao is a princess, if the fourth child of our family is to marry Yaoyao, we will naturally be very happy. This is also why so many people in the province are worried about him. Old Lady Bai said.
Although they have not made friends with the people of the capital for a few days, many people in the city have now learned that the niece of the Queen Mother who has been exiled in another country has returned, and this niece is the mother of the champion and the old person of Zhenfu, and there are many people who have come to visit in the past two days.
There are several families that are testing Bai Panmei's relatives.
Bai Panmei also has a peak in the Hanlin Academy to say goodbye to him, and even the third child of the Bai family is in business, and someone has found the shop to mention the fourth parent.
Therefore, in order to reduce disturbances and let people from all walks of life figure out who the Bai family is turning to, it is better to marry Princess Yun'an and go directly to the emperor, just like Wu Xiaoying's father to be a pure minister.
"Queen Mother, aside from the identity of Princess Yaoyao, from her personal point of view, she is also very likable. Pretty, Zhili, I like it as soon as she comes to the door. The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
Several of her granddaughters-in-law, the eldest is kind and kind, the second is out of tune, the third is refreshing and spicy, and the cuicui who has not passed through the door is hearty.
Princess Yun'an is gentle and generous, although the princess has no arrogance to her, Mrs. Bai likes it very much.
Zhen nodded with a smile and said to the Queen Mother: "Yaoyao went to our house, and there was no one in our family who didn't like her." If she can marry into our Bai family, we will treat her well. We are not such old-fashioned people, whether she and the fourth child live in the princess's mansion, live in another place, or don't dislike being with our family, they all follow Yaoyao's thoughts. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she said with a smile: "Since you have no opinion, Yaoyao has no opinion, the mourning family will mention it to the emperor, and the marriage will be granted." Although it is a marriage, it also needs a matchmaker, and then let the lady of the Marquis of Zhongjing be the big matchmaker. ”
Both Zhen and Mrs. Bai had no opinion.
"Grandma, there's another person missing." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile on the side.
"Oh?" The Queen Mother doesn't know why.
"Aunt Fang Cai said that Sister Yaoyao has no opinion, and my mother and grandmother have no opinion." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile, "There is another person who is my fourth brother." My fourth brother has no opinion either. ”
Everyone laughed at what he said.
Zhen nodded Xiao Fuyuan's forehead and said, "You little clever ghost, I can't hide anything from you." ”
Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile: "Fourth brother likes Sister Yaoyao very much. ”
The Queen Mother became more and more happy when she heard this.
"Xiao Yuanbao, do you think the fourth brother and Sister Yaoyao are good in this family business?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
The reason why the Queen Mother left Xiao Fuyuan was because she heard that Xiao Fuyuan spoke smartly, and her mouth was opened, and the Bai family would ask her about everything.
She said yes, she said no, she couldn't.
Xiao Fuyuan saw the Queen Mother asking her, and knelt on the Queen Mother's lap and said, "Grandma, this family business is good, I like Sister Yaoyao to be my fourth sister-in-law." My fourth brother and Sister Yaoyao will definitely be able to get together for a hundred years. ”
"Queen Mother, what my granddaughter said is a bit spiritual, and she must be good if she says it." Old Lady Bai said to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's brain and said, "That's great." ”
Since both parties were interested, the Queen Mother decided to wait for the emperor to be free, and she discussed marriage with the emperor.
“…… The Queen Mother, Mrs. Fan took Miss Fan to hand over a sign and ask to see her. Mama Chang came over to report to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked indifferent, waved her hand, and said, "No." ”
"Auntie, Mrs. Fan is Ping'er, right?" Zhen asked.
The Queen Mother sneered: "It's your cousin Zhen Ping." ”
Zhen Ping asked to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wanted to be there.
Fan Lingyi interfered with the imperial examination and was punished to go to the temple to think about it, and it has been out for half a year.
Zhen Ping naturally wanted to take her to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, in order to hope to repent in front of the Queen Mother and brush up on a wave of goodwill.
It's just that the Queen Mother doesn't believe that Fan Lingyi can really repent.
In addition, Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought Xiao Fuyuan by their side, and the Queen Mother was even more reluctant to see Mrs. Fan's mother and daughter.
"A few years ago, Fan Lingyi chased your fourth child all over the city, did you hear the rumors?" The Queen Mother asked.
Zhen nodded.
"She was so confused that she actually bribed the examiner and was used by other students, but fortunately, your fourth child was not affected." When the Queen Mother mentioned this, she looked angry.
Xiao Fuyuan handed the Queen Mother water, patted the Queen Mother's back and comforted: "Grandma is not angry, not angry." ”
The Queen Mother hugged Xiao Fuyuan and breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Yuanbao is right, it's not worth being angry with them." ”
He said to Mama Chang again: "Let them go." ”
Mama Chang nodded yes.
In the main hall, the Queen Mother and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started chatting again.
"Grandma, I want to play with Sister Yaoyao and Sister Cuicui."
Xiao Fuyuan was a little bored sitting in the main hall and wanted to go out to see the flowers and butterflies.
The Queen Mother also knew that keeping Xiao Fuyuan by her side would make her feel bored, so she recruited a little palace maid and ordered her to take Xiao Fuyuan out to find Princess Yun'an and Cuicui.
Xiao Fuyuan was led by the little palace maid to the outside of the hall, through the corridor, to the back garden.
"Sister Yaoyao."
"Sister Cuicui."
Xiao Fuyuan saw Princess Yun'an and Cuicui sitting in the garden pavilion chatting, so he ran over.
