"I'll let people check the Chen family." Xiao Huai said to Tang Shuyi.

The rectification of the Chen family must also be justified, of course, this is when it is known that the Chen family will inevitably be found to have problems, if there is no problem, then they must be punished in other ways. Xiao Huai never thought of himself as a good person.

Tang Shuyi nodded, "Okay." ”

The two were discussing, and Steward Zhao came over and said that there was a father-in-law in the palace who came to pass the word. Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai went to the front yard hall and saw Ye Deben there.

Seeing them, Ye Deben hurriedly got up and saluted, and then said with a smile: "The emperor asked the servants to send a message to Grandpa Guo and Duchess Guo, saying that he has begun to investigate the Chen family. ”

Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai glanced at each other, knowing that Li Jingyi was telling them that he would deal with the Chen family, and they didn't have to worry about it. In that case, they don't bother with it. So Xiao Huai said: "Tell the emperor, the minister knows." ”

"Yes."

Ye De should have answered, Xiao Huai asked Steward Zhao to send him away, and then said to Tang Shuyi: "It's good for the child to grow up, it can save us a lot of worry." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded in agreement, it seems that Li Jingyi is indeed very good. In terms of temperament, he is calm and introverted, ambitious but not competitive, and is suitable to be a monarch in the Taiping period. In terms of character, he is kind-hearted and knows gratitude, and such a person cannot do things that anger and resentment.

As an elder, since the younger generation wants to do things, he has to let go of his hands and let them do it. Therefore, since Li Jingyi began to check the Chen family, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai really didn't care. A few days later, the two went to Xie's house together to discuss the marriage date of Xiao Yuming and Xie Xihua.

Before, Tang Shuyi had already made people look forward to a few days, and when discussing with the Xie family, they were also asked to choose among these days. Later, the two families agreed to get married on the eighth day of February next year.

After discussing the wedding date, Tang Shuyi and Second Mrs. Xie sat together and chatted. Tang Shuyi said with a smile: "What my grandfather means is to let Yuming go to the northwest in a few days." ”

"Boys should naturally put the future first." Second Mrs. Xie said that after Xiao Yuming and Xie Xihua got married, she was mentally prepared for the fact that they lived in the northwest all the year round.

"When I go back, I'll let people clean up the house in the northwest, and Xihua will tell me what he likes, and I'll let them prepare." Tang Shuyi said again. is a mother, and she can understand her daughter's feelings of not being around all the year round.

Second Mrs. Xie really remembered that her daughter would stay in the northwest all year round in the future, so she felt uncomfortable. But she couldn't show this kind of mood in front of Tang Shuyi, after all, this family business can be said to be what they begged for, and apart from this, this family business is really not bad at all.

"She, although she has been pampered by me all these years, she is a casual one who can adapt anywhere." Second Lady Xie said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Second Lady Xie leaned slightly, leaned closer to Tang Shuyi and said, "Yuzhu Eleven, right?"

Tang Shuyi nodded, and Second Mrs. Xie said again: "We are our own people, so I won't beat around the bush with you." A few days ago, the eldest lady of the Fan family in Anjin came back to save her relatives and brought her eldest son, the child is the eldest son and grandson of the current head of the Fan family, no matter how he looks and knowledge, he is one top and one good. Madame Fan asked me to probe your words. ”

Tang Shuyi was stunned when she heard her words, she knew about the Anjin Fan family, and they were also a family for hundreds of years, and the resources in their hands were not less than those of the Xie family, but their foundation was not in Shangjing.

After thinking about her, she said, "Yuzhu is still young, I want to wait for her to be older and talk about her relatives." ”

Second Mrs. Xie thought that the new emperor had always refused to draft, and she was not sure about some things, so she said: "Also, Yuzhu is still young. ”

The two stopped talking about this topic and talked about other things. Lunch was served in Xie's Mansion, and after lunch, they chatted for a while, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai said goodbye.

When he got home, Tang Shuyi told Xiao Huai about the second lady Xie's visit, and Xiao Huai said after listening: "Even if you are not the emperor, it can't be the Fan family, An Jin is too far away." ”

Tang Shuyi also thinks so, ancient times are different from modern times, from this city to that city, you can get there in a few hours by plane, and the daughter who married far away in ancient times walked to her mother's house once, and it was a month or two away on the road. The most important thing is that if the daughter suffers any grievances, the parents and brothers cannot immediately know and support her.

On the Xie family's side, Second Mrs. Xie was also talking to Second Master Xie about this, "Duchess Dingguo refused without hesitation, saying that Yuzhu was still young. The emperor has been refusing to draft, is it really Xiao Yuzhu who wants to enter the palace. ”

Originally, she thought that the doting on their daughter by the husband and wife of Dingguo should not let her enter the palace, after all, the women in the palace are rarely happy. But Tang Shuyi refused without hesitation, and she began to be unsure.

Second Master Xie leaned on the back of the chair and drank tea slowly, and after listening to her words, he said: "I can't say, Dingguo Gong and his wife think things differently from others. ”

Second Mrs. Xie thought for a while and said, "Could it be that she thinks An Jinyuan and doesn't want her daughter to marry far away?" I didn't tell the Duchess of Dingguo at the time that the Fan family planned to let Fan Li enter the court as an official. ”

Second Master Xie put the teacup on the table, "Don't worry about this, I'll go back to Fan's house tomorrow." ”

Second Lady Xie nodded, but still said, "If the emperor has affection for Xiao Yuzhu, the Fan family's plan is estimated to be in vain." ”

But Second Master Xie listened to her words and said: "As long as the husband and wife of Dingguo agree, the Fan family is still not afraid." ”

Second Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, and then her face was stunned. Now that the emperor is young, he can sit firmly in the country, relying on the identity of Dingguo Gong and his royal descendants, and the confidence of the Fan family is hundreds of years of family heritage. If the emperor does not have the support of the Duke of Dingguo, he will not be able to compete with the Fan family for the time being.

On the second day, Mrs. Xie met Mrs. Fan and told her about Tang Shuyi's attitude, and Mrs. Fan had a lost face after hearing this, but she still smiled and said: "Also, the child is still young, and it is okay to talk about it a few years later."

Second Mrs. Xie didn't know if she had given up, anyway, she just had a word and didn't care about anything else. The two chatted for a while, and Second Mrs. Xie took her leave.

Mrs. Fan called her son to her side and said, "Duchess Dingguo said that her daughter is young and will consider family affairs a few years later. This is a tactful refusal, don't think about it. ”

Fan Dagongzi is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a long figure and delicate facial features, and he is sitting there in a purple brocade robe at the moment, with an indescribable luxury. Listening to Mrs. Fan's words, he lowered his eyes and said, "This is what the Duchess of Dingguo meant, and I will ask someone to ask the Duke of Dingguo." ”

Mrs. Fan looked helpless, "Haven't you heard that the Duke of Dingguo is afraid of the inside?" ”

Prince Fan clenched his fists and didn't speak, and Mrs. Fan persuaded softly when she saw this, "I heard that before the current emperor succeeded to the throne, it has always been taught by the Duchess of Dingguo, do you say that there is any affection between the emperor and Xiao Yuzhu?" ”

"As long as they don't get married, it's hard to say." Fan Dagongzi said.

Seeing him so insistent, Mrs. Fan frowned, "You are the eldest grandson of the Fan family, and I don't need to tell you what responsibilities you have on your shoulders." You should be clear about what to do, what not to do, what to cling to, and what to let go. ”

Master Fan sat there silent for a long time, and then said, "My son understands. ”
