A Thousand Hills

Chapter 90

A long time later, Nan'an Hou recalled the first meeting, the first feeling was still that Xie Moru's appearance was not like Princess Ningping at all, which shows that the rumors are not credible.

Xie Moru looked into Nan'anhou's eyes, there was a deep sense in it, and it was only for a moment, Xie Moru moved his eyes away, and slightly nodded at Nan'anhou.Nan'an Hou smiled, revealing some softness, and walked over. The iron-gray robe exuded armor-like luster under the spring sun. Nan'an Hou took a deep look at Xie Moru and concluded, "It's not like the eldest princess at all. It's nonsense."

Marquis Nan'an is tall and tall, Xie Moru couldn't look at him at the same level, he could only look up, Xie Moru has a special ability, no matter what the identity of the person she meets, she has the ability to maintain a calm face, Xie Moru said, "Princess Ning Rong said so, I will believe it."

"I think it's mother's joke." Nan'an Hou said.

"Perhaps it's because Princess Ningrong can't forget her grandmother. When you get old, you will miss the past."

"Perhaps." Marquis of Nan'an was noncommittal.

Xie Moru said, "We have already borrowed a good book, let's take our leave first."

Nan'anhou nodded, and he didn't intend to tangle with the little girl.Nan'an Hou said in his heart, you can go as long as you go, but Xie Moru said to go, but stopped moving, and stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, Nan'an Hou understood, and quickly turned sideways to give way, Xie Moru Jiang Xingyun left , Li Xuan kept sending them to the car, Fang turned back, Nan'an Hou joked, "Ah Xuan is full of style." This kind of little girl, Li Xuan is still serving her, so she wants to let him go... Of course, let him go, he Don't dare to slap Xie Moru two slaps.

Li Xuan said seriously, "Of course we should be considerate to girls, besides, Mo Ru is not an outsider." Mo Ru's younger sister is very kind to him and everyone else, but to Nan'an's cousin... Alas, Nan'an's cousin is destined for a woman. , It's really pitiful.

Nan'an Hou smiled, "I heard that Cousin Wenkang has already started looking for a marriage for you."

Li Xuan is already seventeen, there are few people at his age who have not yet married, let alone he has not yet engaged.Li Xuan's marriage has not yet been decided, and the reason is simple. He had previously arranged a marriage, but the wife's fate was poor, or Li Xuan ordered his wife to be hard-pressed, and a typhoid fever would kill her.Princess Wenkang felt that the eldest son's marriage was not going well, so she went to Tianqi Temple to make a divination for her eldest son.

Marquis Nan'an seemed to know some inside information, but in this place, it was difficult for Li Xuan to ask in detail.

The identity of the Marquis of Nan'an, the news he said would not be as simple as just teasing Li Xuan.Grand Duke Wenkang was talking with the Queen Mother in the palace. The marriage of the eldest son of the emperor was settled, and the marriage of the two first princesses of Yongfu Changtai was next, which was more solemn than that of the eldest son of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Hu said, "Not only Yongfu and Changtai, but Jingjiang has also reached the age of marriage. She was raised in my palace since she was a child. I treat her the same as Yongfu and Changtai. King Jingjiang also invited the emperor Helping Jingjiang choose a son-in-law."

Because they were talking about marriage, the mother and daughter had a private conversation, and there were not many people left in the palace. The Queen Mother Hu asked her daughter, "If you want me to say, when the princess chooses a son-in-law, she must choose the one with good character and reliability. People."

Princess Wenkang laughed, "Looking at what the mother said, not only the princess chooses a son-in-law, but also someone who marry is not looking for a good character."

Empress Dowager Hu smiled, "I'm asking you, do you have any intentions to let Master Axuan?" What's the good thing about the old empress, she is the first one who can't forget her own daughter, no, she started rambling on about her daughter as soon as she entered the palace.

Princess Wenkang thought for a while, "I haven't thought about it either."

"What's wrong with this, the princess of the royal family, and your own niece, can't she be worthy of Ah Xuan? I also mentioned it to you first because of the good character of Ah Xuan's child." Princess Yongfu, Changtai The princesses are all born princesses, and the little princesses behind are slightly inferior to the older sisters in terms of birth.

Princess Wenkang said, "I see, Changtai is very good. If the queen mother thinks it is suitable, can I mention it to the emperor?"

Empress Dowager Hu nodded, feeling satisfied in her heart, "Changtai is a prudent child, and he has the same temperament as Ah Xuan." Princess Changtai is a granddaughter, and Li Xuan is a grandson. The daughter discussed, "You said, for the marriage of Yongfu, would you choose a son from your natal family to be the Lord?"

Princess Wenkang thought about it, "The eldest grandson of the second uncle's family has already married a wife, and the rest have no titles, and their official positions are not obvious, and it is too low to match the princess. I said, although my uncle's family is good, there is really no suitable candidate."

"Isn't the son-in-law of Yi'an also Wujue?" Empress Dowager Hu really wanted to show some kindness to her natal family.

Princess Wenkang said, "One is that Yi'an was originally the princess of the imperial family, and she was an exceptional princess; the other is that Xie's son-in-law has the talent to find flowers, and he has learned it by himself. This is to choose a son-in-law for the princess, or give it to the princess. Choose a husband with a noble title, or choose a talented son-in-law for the princess, so that life will be easier in the future, right? Queen Mother, don’t forget that when the uncle was punished for his crimes, the eldest uncle didn’t have a legitimate son. In the eldest room. But the first Duke Cheng En was finally attacked by the second uncle, and it was Aunt Ning Rong who begged Aunt Ning Ping, and the second uncle captured the Duke."

The former Marquis Cheng En and the current Duke Cheng En are both brothers of Empress Dowager Hu, and Empress Dowager Hu has a good relationship with Princess Ning Rong. She can only sigh for what happened to her natal family, "You are right." Her natal nephew Shangzhu's heart.

The mother and daughter murmured for a long time, Princess Wenkang stayed at Ci'an Palace to accompany her mother to have a meal at noon, and returned to the mansion in the afternoon, and told her husband about letting her son be the Lord.The husband and wife had already discussed this matter, and Princess Wenkang said, "I'm really worried, Lord Shang is always safer."

Yong'an Hou said, "That's good." The key is that Princess Changtai has no siblings, so she has less ties to the princes. What's more valuable is that Princess Changtai's biological mother, Empress Chu, is the queen of Shangyuan today. Princess Shengyongfu, not to mention her temperament, compared with Princess Yongfu, Princess Changtai is simply the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty.

Empress Dowager Hu couldn't keep things going. In the evening, when the emperor's son came to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects, he told his son about his daughter's desire to marry her, and said mysteriously, "Wen Kang Tuo Ai's family told you, you How do you feel about Changtai and Ah Xuan?"

Emperor Mu Yuan smiled, "It's really good." He was also happy to be a family with his sister, but the younger sister really has good eyesight, and she picked Princess Yuandi away as soon as she picked it.They are all his daughters, and besides Li Xuan's temperament, Emperor Mu Yuan can also see clearly Li Xuan's temperament these days when he is working in the palace, and it is not bad to be a son-in-law.

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed again, "Changtai has returned to Yongfu for two months. Could it be that the queen mother only thinks about Changtai's marriage and Yongfu's marriage? Does the queen mother have any clues?"

Empress Dowager Hu looked regretful, "I originally wanted Changtai to marry your uncle's family, but Wenkang persuaded me for a long time, saying that it was not suitable. The eldest son of the eldest son has already married, and the remaining children are not good matches. I thought about it, and it makes sense."

It really is my own sister!Emperor Mu Yuan thanked his sister in his heart, smiled and said to Empress Dowager Hu, "I am optimistic about a child, the son of Duke Wu's mansion, who understands etiquette and knowledge is also good. He will serve as a guard in front of me. Tomorrow, I will announce him to the palace. , The queen mother also takes a look."

Empress Dowager Hu naturally praised it.

After coming out of the building, Xie Moru and Jiang Xingyun walked around the street for a while, and then went back to their respective houses.

Mrs. Xie was smiling and waiting for Xie Moru to come back, with a kind face on her face, "Go back and change your clothes first, come over for lunch at noon."

Xie Moru went back to Dujuan Courtyard to change clothes and asked Nanny Zhang, "What's going on at home today?" Mrs. Xie's facial expression seemed to be that there was something wrong.

Nanny Zhang said, "Miss Sulan brought her new clothes for next month in the morning, do you want to have a look?"

"Is there nothing else?"

Zhang Nanny thought about it carefully, "My wife sent Miss Suxin to give me two pheasants. I thought, let's make the soup, and I have to drink it at night. Grandma and the girl both eat mushrooms at night, so it's not suitable to drink soup at night. Order one of our small kitchens to get diced chicken to fry, and the other to stew soup at night, stew it all night, and we can have chicken soup or chicken soup noodles in the morning, what does the girl say?"

Xie Moru took a sip of tea slowly, and patiently listened to Zhang Nanny's explanation of the two ways to eat pheasant. After Zhang Nanny finished speaking, Xie Moru smiled, "Grandma, just watch and order, everything is fine." See There is nothing else to do in the courtyard, Xie Moru said, "Madam asked me to eat at noon, so I would like to have dinner with my mother."

Nanny Zhang quickly agreed.

After Xie Moru changed his clothes and drank tea, it was almost time for lunch, Xie Moru got up and went to Songbaiyuan.Xie Moyou was also there, the two sisters greeted each other, Xie Moyou asked Xie Moru about going to build the library.

Xie Moru roughly said, "It's just opened, it's okay."

Mrs. Xie said, "This Mr. Li is really capable. Have you seen Mr. Li?"

Xie Moru nodded, "See you."

Xie Moyou thought for a while, "Is that the elder brother of Li Shizi whom the second uncle knew? The one with a particularly bad reputation in the past."

"That's all rumors. Now this Mr. Li followed Mr. Beiling to build a library. If there is something wrong with Mr. Li, can Mr. Beiling ask him to follow him? Your second uncle can't follow him either. Are we friends?" Mrs. Xie said briefly, "Okay, it's time for dinner, let's go eat."

The two granddaughters came to eat, and the lunch was naturally rich. After lunch, Mrs. Xie took a nap as usual. The two sisters got up to leave, but Mrs. Xie said, "Why don't you stay and talk with me."

Xie Moyou glanced at Xie Moru, then went back to his courtyard first.

Xie Moru already felt something in his heart, and Mrs. Xie really asked Li Qiao about his temper and temperament. Xie Moru roughly said that Li Qiao's character is of course good, persevering and tenacious, and his appearance and talent are first-class, but, The plan in Mrs. Xie's heart may not be easy to achieve.

After asking Li Qiao, Mrs. Xie asked about Su Buyu, Xie Moru told Mrs. Xie again, anyway, she knew both of them.

Mrs. Xie asked Xie Moru, "Which of the two of them do you think is more outstanding?" Mrs. Xie believed in women's feelings more, and men knew how to look ahead.

Xie Moru thought for a moment, "Chunlan Qiuju, each is good at winning, it's hard to say which one is better."

Mrs. Xie said, "What do you think, compared to your second uncle?"

"Almost." Xie Moru tried his best to be objective and fair, "Both of them are concubines. In terms of family status, of course the Marquis of Yong'an is better, but Prime Minister Su is the chief assistant of the cabinet, which is more affordable. It is difficult for Mr. Li to get Help, Su Caizi has a very good relationship with his aunt Mrs. Su. From the perspective of talent and learning, Mr. Li is slightly better than Su Caizi. I think they have little chance of failing the ranking next spring."

When Xie Moru said this, Mrs. Xie became more and more hesitant, not knowing which one to choose.

Mrs. Xie's hesitation, Xie Moru didn't take it to heart, if Xie Moyou was the daughter of the Shangshu family's prostitute, the granddaughter of the Shangshu's mansion, this status might not be enough.After all, Li Qiaosu and Su Buyu are outstanding, and anyone with long eyes can see that the world is more picky about girls' concubines, but there is only one requirement for men, they are promising and have a future. As for whether they are concubine or concubine, it really doesn't matter .

In this matter, Xie Shangshu's plan may come to nothing.

On the second day of rest, Xie Shangshu was at home, and Mu Qi came to greet Fang.

Xie Shangshu said, "Madame Wei Guo has been in the Qing Dynasty and has not seen outsiders for a long time. Why don't I pass on the kindness of the seventh son."

Mu Qi was kind, handed the gift list to Xie Shangshu, exchanged some greetings, and then got up to leave, Xie Shangshu wanted to leave a meal, Mu Qiyan said something to do, said goodbye and left.

Xie Shangshu sighed, then gave the gift list to Xie Moru, hesitated for a while, and asked Xie Moru, "Do you want to ask your majesty to say something to your majesty."

The gift list is quite generous, the first item is eight Dadongzhu, Xie Moru said, "I'm going to make a move."
