The Queen Mother did not come to the field to watch the bow as in previous years, but added a program in the next day with ingenuity, as early as January, so that the officials of the Taichang Temple selected a number of women who happened to be fifteen years old on the Shangsi Festival among the people, and were edicted to enter the palace, and the Queen Mother personally presided over and ceremonial, which is undoubtedly a great honor for the common people, and it shows the Queen Mother's love for the people like a child's kindness.

And when the ceremony was over, the queen mother did not joke with the princess of Nanyang, the eldest princess of Jin'an and other clan women, but only brought her sister-in-law Tong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then Wei Yan, and found a pavilion surrounded by brocade curtains to sit and gossip.

"Today's science and technology is different from previous years, most of them are handsome men with real talent and real learning, I specially told Yan'er to go to Qujiang to drink, just want her to choose one to marry." After a cup of tea, the Queen Mother took the initiative to uncover the topic.

Tong couldn't wait to say: "If you want to talk about talent, of course, it is the best champion Lang, but Xue Xuanzhi is a widower, and there is a concubine under his knees, and even He Shishilang is vague, and I don't know if his old illness matters, it really doesn't matter with Yan'er, the concubine is looking at it, or Xu Erlang is the best, then Mrs. Xiao, she can flatter Yan'er tightly today, and she should also have this will." ”

With her mother-in-law present, the Fu family, who was a daughter-in-law, has always been obedient and silent, but today is to discuss the marriage of her own daughter, seeing that the queen mother seems to be moved, she can't help but be anxious, she is from a family name, not to mention that the British duke is not even by virtue of military merits, although Xu Xiuneng looks good, but his father and brother are absurd, even the Xiao family, in front of the eldest princess of Jin'an, the servile and humble face is also quite contemptible, the Fu family looks down on the Xu family at all, so he interjected for the first time: "The A family is right, Xue Lang is certainly not suitable, but the British government is also really ...... The door style is not proper, and there are still many bad things in the clan that are not known to outsiders. ”

"No matter how bad things are, they don't dare to be wronged." Tong immediately retorted.

The Queen Mother attached great importance to Fu's opinion, and unceremoniously stopped Tong's: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, and listen to Ah Fu to choose the right candidate." ”

"Returning to the Queen Mother, according to the concubine's body, Shao Jiulang is also from a prestigious family, although he has not won the first place in the current department, but he is called the five sons of Chang'an with Xue and Wang Langjun, it can be seen that he is talented, and he will definitely become the talent of the Great Zhou Dongliang in the future, and the concubine body can inquire even more, Shao Jiulang's moral character is very good, although his family is not rich, but he has a bright future, but it is ......"

"If it doesn't work, although Shao Jiulang is a child of the Wang family, he is not a descendant, and his family background is declining, where is he worthy of Xuan'er." Tong waved his hand again and again.

"A family, after all, the surname Shao is a family, the door style is upright, Shao Jiulang is in high school, and he is as good as Xue, Wang and other Langjun, and he will inevitably be valued by the family in the future, whether he is a descendant or not, it doesn't matter so much, it is not as good as the British government...... Didn't Father Weng mention it, but the British public made a joke. ”

It turned out that Xu Hanqiang's Hu family's turmoil, although it was not widely known, but the Queen Mother knew about it from Jiang Yuanping's mouth and told Wei Yuanping as a joke, in fact, it was also to remind Wei Yuanping to carefully weigh what marriage he wanted to find for his granddaughter who had high hopes.

Although bullying and coveting beauty is not a big evil, but it is a real scandal to make a concubine escape and prefer to be a prostitute, Fu is a traditional family woman, and she is really planning for her daughter, so she is naturally extremely resistant to the British government, but is optimistic about Shao Jiulang, who has a good character and is from a prestigious family.

Seeing the dispute between his grandmother and his mother, Wei Yan could no longer sit down, so he simply bowed down and expressed his wishes loudly: "Eldest mother, Auntie, Er understands that the elders are loving and caring, but Ke'er really doesn't want to marry a wife and is confined to the back house from now on, but I want to accompany the Queen Mother for a long time, listen to the teachings, and do my best for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

"Confused!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

At this time, Tong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke in unison.

Even the Queen Mother opened her mouth slowly: "Although Yan'er is ambitious, but her thoughts are inevitably paranoid, don't say that as a woman, you can't enter the office, even if you are a man, is it only for the sake of economic career, just ignore the marriage matter?" ”

"It is not unprecedented." Wei Yan is also iron-hearted, and he still insists on his own opinion at this time.

"Ry'er!" When her daughter was busy expressing her ambitions, Fu's mother left the disapproving look on the queen mother's face, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but warn.

"In the eyes of Yan'er, her aunt's insight and talent are far better than many men in the world, although she is not talented, she has always regarded her aunt and grandmother as a model, and she also hopes that her aunt and grandmother are complete." Wei Yan not only ignored his mother's warning, but even changed his personal honorific title, which shows that he is unwilling to give up if he does not achieve his goal.

Because in her opinion, even if there are many young talents among the current science and technology scholars, but none of them are as suitable as herself, she Wei Yan is unlucky, and she has no chance to marry into the royal family, who among these ordinary people can help her make a big difference? This person's ambition and ambition are not slightly inferior to her aunt and grandmother Wei Haichi, and even in her eyes, Empress Dowager Wei's talent is not as good as herself, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the time.

"Yan'er, your grandfather is my brother, I think you also know that I love you even more than Tong'an's own granddaughter, and I have been worried about your marriage for a long time." The Queen Mother glanced at Fu's anxious look and Wei Yan's resolute posture, but did not show her disapproval on the surface, but put on the kindness of a benevolent elder: "According to the rules of etiquette, the marriage is all on the orders of the parents, and the juniors cannot be independent, but I am planning for your future to be happy, so I intend to let you choose your own husband." ”

Seeing that Wei Yan still wanted to argue, the Queen Mother slowly raised her arm: "Now you only see me commanding my subjects, but I don't know how many hardships and hardships have come along the way, and sometimes I can't help but imagine that if I hadn't married into the royal family at the beginning, maybe life would have been more fun." This was followed by a sigh, as if it were from the heart.

The simple-minded Tong was obviously moved by the Queen Mother's words, and actually wiped away tears: "The Queen Mother has indeed suffered a lot. ”

Fu Shi stared at his daughter nervously, and saw that Wei Yan still looked unmoved, and he was so anxious that he clenched his fists.

The Queen Mother didn't think so, and only waved her hand a little tiredly: "That's it, since you don't have a crush for the time being, it doesn't matter if you put the marriage aside, it's a good thing to stay by my side to broaden your knowledge, even if you pass the marriage age in the future, as long as you like it, I will always be the master for you, my Webster's daughter, I can't get a good match, but I am not limited by the years." ”

The queen mother's grace and tolerance naturally made Wei Yi overjoyed, although Tong felt that it was against the common etiquette for the woman to delay the marriage, but when she tasted the queen mother's words, she was immediately bold - that is not, Wei's daughter is not ordinary, whether it is over the age of marriage, it is also eager to ask for it, and it is indeed not in a hurry.

Only Fu was worried, and faintly felt the queen mother's dissatisfaction.

And yes, yes.

When the queen mother said that she was tired and let the palace people support her to sleep in the garden dormitory, and sent the idlers away together, and crooked on the couch alone, the corners of her lips gave birth to a sneer, and she muttered to herself: "In vain, I really love her, and I never thought of taking advantage of her marriage, but my kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and there must be a limit to the height of my eyes, and I am regarded as a model?" I'm afraid that I'm also thinking about taking power in the future, but my heart is big, but I don't see if I have the luck and means. ”

Wei Yan didn't expect that today's direct expression of his ideals has led to a complete fall from grace, she used three words and two perfunctory words to appease her mother's "unfounded worries", really impatient with Fu's chatter, when I saw that Eleven Niang was visiting the flower garden with Tong'an, the inspiration moved and found an excuse to perform the task of "waiting" to get out, temporarily getting rid of the mundane Wei Yi was in a good mood, at this time did not care about Eleven Niang's earlier "unintentional words", replaced with a smiling face, the three girls talked and laughed.

It wasn't until Tong'an was attracted by a colorful butterfly and chased after him that Wei Yan pulled Eleven Niang to make a heart.

"I watched coldly, King Jin was kind to his sister, and my sister didn't seem to be afraid of King Jin."

It turned out that Wei Yan had already gained insight into the queen mother's intentions, and knew that she was going to choose a concubine for the king of Jin among the daughters of the Xie family and the Liu family, and today since she has obtained the permission of the queen mother's long companion, she seems to regard herself as the queen mother's henchman.

She has a long-term plan, but Eleven Niang is also suspicious of Wei Yan's "turning sorrow into joy".

"I have the queen mother and the princess to defend me, and the king can help me, if I don't provoke him, am I afraid that he will eat me?" Eleven Niang innocently said this specious sentence, covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Sister, today Qujiang is drinking, have you ever taken a fancy to which talent?" ”
