Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 324

Before lunch time, the wives continued to chat with the empress in Zhaoyang Palace.During this period, several other noble ladies came, and the queen gave her a seat as usual.

"Little Hou Ye is very precious. His father is one of the four handsome men in the capital. His mother has always been said to be intelligent. His uncle is a young genius whom the emperor has taken a fancy to in advance. He is the head of the two families. When he grows up, he will definitely be a There are dragons and phoenixes among people, I don't know which girl is lucky to be his wife." A lady said.She is the wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the second-rank imperial order, because the Ministry of Rites was busy with Lord Mo's recognition of his ancestors a few days ago, and her husband mentioned Lord Mo and his son to her in the mansion, and he praised them both a lot, so She felt that as long as the young master grows up smoothly, he can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth by relying on the favor of his grandparents and parents.

"The only one who can be worthy of the young master is the daughter of a famous family." said a fifty-year-old lady wearing a first-grade imperial lady's court dress.This lady is from the Murong family, and the Cui family she married is the largest family in the capital. No matter whether it is Murong or the Cui family, every family has a baby girl born within a year. The next act as a prostitute'.When they grow up healthy and healthy in the future, the young master will be their first choice for husband-in-law.

"It should be a first-class family, grandfather or father should be at least a third-rank official, and mother's family should also be a first- or second-class family. The Dingbei Marquis will be hereditary for three generations, and the young master will also be Dingbei Marquis in the future." Minister of Rites Madame laughed.She has two little girls at hand, but she doesn't know if Mrs. Mo is interested in betrotting the little marquis.

"Unfortunately, it is a common practice that a son-in-law cannot hold an important official position. Otherwise, in the future, the empress and empress can call the young prince to be her grandson-in-law or great-grandson-in-law." Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of War shook her head and said, Xiao Tiancai was reserved by the emperor for the successor emperor. Will be called as the royal consort.It's really pitiful to say that the princesses can only marry small officials who are destined to have a bleak future.

She looked at Xiao Wenqing, and began to think about Xiao Wenqing's other two younger brothers.The little granddaughter's husband, Wen Hua, is good, and he takes good care of his little granddaughter. It's like this when she comes to the Xiao family's tutoring. Although the Zhan family and the Xiao family have been married before, it is not suitable for another marriage, but she has a granddaughter with a different surname and a grandniece from her natal family.

"What Mrs. Zhan said is true. It's a pity." After hearing Mrs. Shangshu's words, the ladies remembered that because the emperor wanted to reuse Lord Mo, he didn't even allow the princess to marry him, so he married the two princesses who admired Lord Mo. To other young masters.

Xiao Wenqing pursed her lips and smiled.Only she knew that apart from political reasons, Yu Xuan was the emperor's illegitimate child, and he was absolutely not allowed to marry any girl in the royal family.In Xiaoxiao's case, if the successor emperor knew about Yuxuan's father and son's lineage, he would not consider recruiting him as his son-in-law.

The empress coughed lightly, and drew the attention of all the wives to herself, and then said, "The elder brother of my mother's family has recently added a granddaughter, who happens to be a descendant." Even if it is a direct wife under the name of a legitimate wife, the effect of marriage is second only to that of a real direct daughter.

She paused, and said with a smile: "If you compare your family background, the girl from my mother's family is a good match for the young master. Wen Qing, if you are interested, I can be a matchmaker for the two children to make a marriage."

Immediately, all the ladies stopped talking and looked at Xiao Wenqing with unison.In order for the King of Qin to inherit the throne, the empress empress used the method of marrying the emperor's favorite minister, Lord Mo, regardless of her old face.These days, young children are prone to die prematurely if they suffer from headaches and brain fever. Most families like them wait until their children are healthy and grow up to be thirteen or fourteen years old before considering betrothing them.However, since the queen spoke, how could Mrs. Mo refuse?
Xiao Wenqing was also taken aback, she didn't expect the queen to ask for a matchmaker in front of a dozen imperial wives, how could she refuse?After thinking for a while, she thought of the reason for the refusal.

Slowly getting up, Xiao Wenqing bowed deeply to the empress, and said with an apologetic face: "The empress favors dogs, and she is willing to lead the red line in the middle. This concubine is very grateful, but this concubine did not tell the empress in advance that my Lord Marquis made an appointment for the Mo family." A family rule, please ask the empress to make amends."

"Family rules? What's the relationship with the young master's marriage?" The empress was slightly taken aback.This is an improvised reason for rejection, right?Xiao Shi is so bold, he really doesn't know how to flatter him!

Lord Mo made a family rule for the Mo family?

All the ladies waited curiously for Xiao Wenqing's explanation.

"Empress, two months ago, shortly after my Lord Hou recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, he told his concubines that he would set a family rule for the new Mohist family to choose a daughter-in-law."

Xiao Wenqing paused, then said, "The daughter-in-law's family background is not the most important thing, and she can have no dowry, but she must have talent and good character. Master Hou is now in the palace if he is not in the Longlin Guard. If you don't believe me, you can send Someone ask him."

Yu Xuan did mention to her that a mother's excellence is very important to a child, and he hoped that the future wives of the Mo family would be as smart and virtuous as her.In addition, after he inherited Marquis Dingbei, as long as he doesn't die in battle soon, as long as he lives long enough, he will become an extremely powerful minister sooner or later; Marquis Dingbei has too much power in the Mo family, which will only arouse the suspicion of the superiors, so it is best not to When you are strong, increase your own power through marriage.

You can only see your character by looking at it, so you have to wait until the girl grows up to see it.That is to say, the Mo family will not engage in a baby marriage with any family.Mohist men marry wives and virtuous men, regardless of family background.
