In Songhe Hall, under the old lady's questioning, the eldest lady did not dare to hide anything and told the old lady what happened during the draft in Tiren Hall.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Could it be that the eighth girl is also attracted by King Zhao?"

The eldest lady is still arrogant: "Marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker. There is no reason for girls to decide on their own marriage. Old lady, you can rest assured!"

The old lady snorted coldly: "Ba Yatou, do you really think you are blind when you behave like this?" The eldest lady shuddered, and her originally bowed head dropped even lower. The old lady said: "Last time you took me to Ci

When Ning Gong paid a visit to the Queen Mother, didn't he meet King Zhao once in the garden? Didn't he see the right thing at that time?"

The eldest lady wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Her mother-in-law was so powerful that she was really tired of being a daughter-in-law. The eldest man also lowered his head, very ashamed. The eldest lady had to bear the main responsibility for the lax goddaughter. As a father, he also had to bear the main responsibility.

Bear joint and several liability.

As soon as the old lady saw the couple's attitude, she knew that she had been misfortune. In her heart, neither the prince nor the king of Zhao was a good match for Yuxin. But now that the imperial edict has been issued, everything is a foregone conclusion, and

Nothing to say.

She waved her hand tiredly: "Ba Yatou... Hey! Marrying into the East Palace may not mean you will enjoy happiness! Parents, don't be deceived by those false names and take care of her dowry. Those who marry her must be careful.

Choose..." The old lady glanced at the eldest lady: "After you have decided on the candidates, bring them to me for review! Then I won't be able to add two more stable and capable people to her. I can't let her suffer a hidden disadvantage in the palace.

!”

The eldest lady said sincerely: "The old lady still loves her granddaughter!"

The old lady sneered: "I'm afraid the date of the prince's marriage is very close by. You are preparing in advance and trying to persuade the eight girls to make sure no more troubles occur!" The queen mother was anxious to hold the prince's wedding. Everyone could see it.

, the old lady’s words are all taken seriously by the old man and the old lady.

The old lady added: "Although she is getting married to the prince, it is not good for Eight Yatou to rush ahead of Fifth Yatou and Seventh Yatou. Fourth Yatou has already agreed on the marriage. Fifth Yatou and Qi Yatou, as a mother, you should have a good time.

Things are getting underway. Don't just focus on those personal grudges, don't forget that you are first and foremost the wife of our Yang family! Do you hear me?"

The eldest lady naturally understood who the old lady was talking about. Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, of course she could only agree hurriedly at this moment.

The old lady gave a few more instructions before saying: "I'm tired too, you go down!"

It wasn't until the couple left Songhe Hall that the old lady sighed with exhaustion. Mother Su hurriedly brought hot tea over, offered it to the old lady with her own hands, and tapped her back gently. "Children and grandchildren will have their own destiny."

The old lady doesn’t have to worry too much about her children and grandchildren.”

"Although this child Yuxin has some minor problems, she is still good. This time, for the sake of the Yang family, I have wronged her after all..."

The news that the Queen Mother arranged for the Prince Zhao to marry soon spread in the capital. The Prince already had a head start in terms of status, and now marrying the granddaughter of the chief minister is equivalent to taking the Yang family under his command.

, the momentum was great for a time, and many officials who were swinging between the prince and King Zhao surrendered to the prince one after another.

Everyone in the officialdom is the best at currying favor. The eldest man suddenly became the prince's prospective father-in-law, and his net worth skyrocketed. There were constant banquets in the past few days, and even the superiors were a little polite to him. He was so proud of himself. The eldest wife also became busy, some

The noble lady, who had no friendship with him at first, found various reasons to visit her home with generous gifts, and found various words to praise the eighth girl again and again, until she was praised to the sky. But in fact, Yu

Because Xin felt sad, every time the eldest wife asked her to go out to meet people, she was rejected verbally. The eldest wife had to be busy taking care of Yu Xin's dowry, and also had to deal with the official wives who were surrounding her like flies.

Two is better.

Busy as they were, it was painful and happy. The prince's mother-in-law-to-be was very proud of her. She thought happily: Yuxin and the prince haven't got married yet. Once they really get married, won't it be like wind and rain?

?

Besides being busy with social activities, the eldest wife did not forget to do ideological work for the eighth girl every day. She immediately told the eighth girl the news that the emperor had arranged for Ye Minyu and Xiao Yunqian to get married. The eighth girl was unexpectedly calm, except for the pair of

There was deep sadness in his eyes.

The eldest wife thought that Yuxin had accepted her fate, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, the fifth wife’s distant aunt, Geng, also came to visit the eldest wife with gifts. Geng’s husband, Xie Ruichun, was the young minister of Dali Temple at the time and was the fifth wife’s distant uncle. Geng met the eldest wife and then came

Ji Chunxuan went to see the fifth wife.

The eldest lady received an order from the old lady a few days ago, asking her to find a husband-in-law for Yuxia and Yulan as soon as possible. The eldest lady never paid attention to the marriage of these two concubines, so where could she find suitable candidates at this time?

Want to go in person? Naturally, the old lady also knew the style of the eldest daughter-in-law. After greeting her the next day, she sent a few grandchildren out, but left the three ladies to talk. She explained this to the second wife and the fifth wife.

Ask two people to help the eldest lady with the details of the marriage of the two nieces.

The fifth wife and Yulan have always been on good terms. As an elder, she originally wanted to help Yulan in the marriage. Now she has a perfect excuse to intervene. The eldest wife's attitude towards Yulan is indifferent.

Just go out as a dowry and marry someone off. Unlike Yuxia, who has been fighting with Hexiang Pavilion for more than ten years, how can she go to the fifth girl and take her seriously after listening to the old lady's words?

Really say dear.

Mrs. Wu is also a smart person, so she naturally sees these things. When she returned to Jichunxuan, she started thinking about how to find a well-matched husband with good character for Yu Lan. She must not let this sensible niece

Suffered wronged.

Just when she was worried, Mrs. Geng came. After running through the iron shoes and finding nowhere, the fifth wife happily welcomed her aunt into the main room and invited her to sit down. After saying a few words, she asked: "Auntie

, how is my distant cousin doing these days?"

Speaking of her son, Mrs. Geng looked happy: "Okay, he is very good. In September this year, it will be the time for the martial arts examination. The master has invited several famous instructors from the capital, and he is now living in Zhuangzi

I was practicing martial arts with the instructors. I plan to give it a try this year! Everyone is tanned!"

The fifth wife seemed to ask casually: "Is my brother also sixteen years old this year?"

Mrs. Geng said: "The New Year is over, it's already seventeen!"

The fifth wife said: "It is rare to see a seventeen-year-old civil examination candidate, and it is also rare to see a seventeen-year-old military examination candidate. I am here to congratulate my brother in advance on his success in Chan Palace. If you can teach a son with such a promising future, so will you, aunt."

Indispensable contribution!”

Mrs. Geng quickly said modestly, "He is still young, so he is just trying his hand at this subject! I don't expect him to be a martial arts scholar in one go!"

The fifth wife said: "Even if you can't pass this subject, I think you will definitely pass the next subject!" The fifth wife paused here and said, "I wonder if my aunt has made a marriage arrangement for my brother?"

Mrs. Geng was slightly startled, glanced at the fifth wife doubtfully, and said: "I have looked at several girls before, but I always felt that they were not suitable. Although his father's official position is not high, he belongs to the Xie family anyway.

Children and grandchildren, as a mother, I never want to wrong my children!"

After hearing this, the fifth wife breathed a sigh of relief. The conversation changed and the topic was moved to other places. The two chatted for a few more words, Mrs. Geng stood up to leave, and the fifth wife personally sent her out. Mrs. Geng was slightly suspicious.

As soon as Mrs. Geng left, the fifth wife sent someone to invite Yulan. Yulan was already very familiar with this fifth aunt. The fifth wife dismissed the maid and dropped a bombshell as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sister-in-law is working for you."

Do you know about the marriage to Zhang Luo, the fifth sister's son?"

"Niece, I don't know!" Yulan was surprised. Over the years, Yulan has gradually integrated into the ancient life. It's not that she has never considered the issue of marriage. As a modern person, she had no idea about three wives and four concubines.

She sincerely accepts her incompetence. What’s more, the painful experience and lessons in her previous life almost made her completely lose hope in love. She felt that she had burned out all her passion and would never love again. After arriving in ancient times, she began to avoid these things.

, I always felt that I was still young, and things like kissing were still a little far away. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, I would be right in front of my eyes...

The fifth wife had already told what she knew about the situation, and finally said with a smile: "I shouldn't tell you these things, but I always feel that you have your own ideas, so I will ask your opinion first!"

I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and today I thought of a candidate!"

Yu Lan had not recovered from that inexplicable emotion for a while. Normally, a normal boudoir lady would blush when this kind of thing happened to her and say, "Fifth aunt laughs at people, and they don't obey me." But Yulan

His face really couldn't turn red. The fifth wife didn't care and said to herself: "What do you think of my distant cousin Xie Zhiyuan?"

"Xie Zhiyuan?" I had met that boy Yu Lan once, but I had forgotten about him a long time ago.

The fifth wife smiled and said: "You met me last time, and I came with my aunt. My cousin is a young minister of Dali Temple. Although his official position is not high, he is very talented and learned. Our Xie family has a rigorous family tradition, and we are far away from home.

I also know this child very well, and there is absolutely nothing to say about his character. He is the eldest son of the family. My aunt Geng has a gentle temperament. If you really marry into the Xie family, it will be considered a lowly marriage. She will never make you angry.

.Moreover, their family has a simple population, and their uncle has the style of an ancient gentleman and is very strict in running the family. If you marry him, you will be happy... Not to mention that with my relationship, my aunt will take care of me.

In terms of face, I will treat you better..."

After Mrs. Wu talked for a long time, Yulan finally remembered...

Xie Zhiyuan... Yu Lan was slightly absent-minded. In this room, that slightly dark and shy young man wanted to look at me but didn't dare to look at him. He had handsome features and Huhu was angry. It was said that he was already a martial arts candidate at a young age.

Oh... The fifth wife’s natal family is from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. Speaking of which, if Yulan hadn’t changed the core inside her now, considering her status as a prostitute, she would have been pretty good. The fifth wife was very considerate, and Yulan couldn’t think of anything.

I think this is a good and affordable marriage.

As for Xie Zhiyuan, he was only the son of a fifth-rank official... Yulan had never considered that!

The fifth wife finally said: "If you think it's good, I will help you arrange this marriage!"

The shadow of the proud and lonely person that flashed through Yulan's heart was forced back into her heart again. She was good-looking but could not be used as food. Moreover, their identities were very different, so it was impossible for them to be together! She has lived in two lives.

, after experiencing so many things, I still fantasize about this like a child!

Yulan was speechless for a moment and brainwashed herself: Xie Zhiyuan is really good! But...does she really want to marry such a person, be his wife, and have children for him for the rest of her life? Now that she has come to this world

, you have to follow the rules of this world. Yulan sighed imperceptibly. It is impossible for her to fall in love with Xie Zhiyuan. This is fine. Without love, there will be no jealousy. When he takes a concubine in the future,

I won’t feel so sad... This way, it’s not bad!

The fifth wife finished what she needed to say and waited quietly for Yulan's reply. Yulan's eyes were clear: "It's all up to the fifth aunt!"

When the fifth wife saw that Yulan agreed, she was very happy. She thought to herself that this niece was indeed different from the fourth sister and the fifth sister. She did not only think about marrying into a high family. She could live a comfortable and down-to-earth life for a few years.

Ten years is the most important thing. I really didn’t misjudge the person.

The purpose of not telling Mrs. Geng before was to get accurate information from Yulan. From this point of view, the fifth wife still likes Yulan very much. Now that everything is ready, the fifth wife did not tell the eldest wife first, but went immediately

After leaving Songhe Hall, Yulan naturally couldn't go back, so he took Xiaoyue Xiaoyu back to Lvjingzhai.

When they arrived at Songhe Hall, Mrs. Wu told the old lady her thoughts and repeated what she had just said to Yu Lan. The old lady thought for a long time and only said: "Go and ask Qi Yatou yourself.

the meaning of!"
