Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 66 Daughter's Mind

"It's just that Taichang etiquette and music officials have to see when there will be an auspicious day. Since it is an engagement, if there is no auspicious day, naturally Xingnan can't be wronged."

Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, and said: "This matter is related to the situation. Please don't stick too much to the common etiquette. Maybe there will be auspicious days soon."

Yu Wenjun frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy, but she quickly hid her emotions.

"Never mind."

Yu Wenjun was just about to agree, but as if thinking of something, he frowned and said, "If you make an engagement with the Zhao family in Tianshui in a hurry, wouldn't you be making a fool of Xingnan? Even if you want to be engaged to Mr. Zhao's family, marrying the princess should be a shame. The procedures and the proper etiquette are indispensable."

"Queen, the situation is urgent."

Yu Wenjun seemed to be determined, and said: "Even if the situation is urgent, you must follow the rules."

Yu Liang sighed.

but
Although the situation is urgent now, it is not really a time of depression.

Su Jun might rebel, but he didn't rebel after all. If he offended the Queen Mother and made her change her mind in a fit of anger, it would be a bad thing.

"The queen mother thinks, what should I do?"

"The selection of the emperor's son-in-law has always been done by Zongzheng and other officials in charge of the royal family's affairs, who select a few candidates who are suitable for their family background, age, talent and name, etc., and then choose among them. If there is no such selection process, wouldn't it be that the palace is Selling the princess?"

Yu Liang nodded lightly. After considering it in his mind, he immediately said: "Since that's the case, why don't we start from the Langya Wang family, Taishan Yang family, Yingchuan Xun family, Gaoping Xi family, Danyang Zhang family, Danyang Ji family, and Guangping Liu family?" family and Tianshui Zhao family to choose from?"

Eight choices?

After listening to these eight, Yu Wenjun knew that the only one who really participated in the draft was the Zhao Family Langjun from the Zhao family in Tianshui.

The outstanding children of each family have long wanted to marry, or they don't want to be the princess.

For example, Ji Youju of the Ji family in Danyang wears filial piety in mourning, just making up the number.

The Liu family in Guangping, in fact, is Liu Zhao, who had already had a marriage contract with the Yu family, so it is impossible to come to marry the princess.

The Langya Wang clan is now the number one sect in the kingdom, ranking first in the north and south, but there is a gap between the Yu family and the Langya Wang clan, so how could it be possible to marry the county head to the Langya Wang clan to increase his family's prestige?
As for the Xi family of Gaoping, Xi Jian sits in Jingkou and is a member of the court in name, but in fact he has a heart for the Wang family of Langya, and belongs to the Wang family of Langya, let alone the emperor's choice.

As for other families, most of them are like this.

Yu Wenjun glanced at Yu Liang, and said with some resentment: "It's also fortunate that you can come up with these eight families."

Yu Liang smiled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to inform Zongzheng immediately and start selecting the emperor's son-in-law."

Selection?
It's just a process.

"I heard that the Zhao family in Tianshui has quite a lot of property in Jiankang. Among other things, they have to pay twice as much as the dowry that this palace pays."

Yu Liang thought for a while, he was well aware of the financial resources of the Zhao family in Tianshui.

Money is definitely enough.

Not to mention
The mother of Mr. Zhao's family belongs to the Yixing Zhou family. Although the Yixing Zhou family is down and out now, there is never a lack of money.

"I'll go and inform the Tianshui Zhao family about this, and they won't disagree."

Whether it's dowry or betrothal gift, it all belongs to the young couple Zhao Yue and the princess in the end, and it's not sent to the palace. There's no need for Tianshui Zhao to refuse.

The queen mother said these words, but because she was unhappy.

"That's it."

Yu Wenjun rubbed his temples with slender hands, frowned and said, "I'm tired."

The goal has been achieved, and Yu Liang also got up slowly.

"Your servant will leave."

After Yu Liang left, Yu Wenjun slowly got up. Looking at the huge map in front of her, she frowned slightly again.

"This situation...is it really as serious as what the elder brother said? Since His Majesty's great success, alas~"

Yu Wenjun sighed deeply. After the death of Emperor Ming, she felt more and more tired. Whether it was the pressure of the clan, the pressure of the royal family, or the pressure of the world situation, she was a little out of breath. Come.

And her older brother.
This reliance does not seem to give her enough sense of security.

"Go and call the county magistrate."

"promise."

The maid who was waiting on the side immediately took orders.

Not long after, Sima Xingnan, the head of Suian County, was brought over.

Sima Xingnan was dressed in white, with snow feather shoulders, and a milky white mixed with pink satin skirt with rusty water patterns on the nameless pattern. There were many gold and silver strips of snow beaver down in irregular patterns, and his waist was so slender that it was not enough to hold.

The big glazed eyes are shining brightly like obsidian pupils, and the glaze is fleeting when they are opened, and the small cherry mouth is bright with vermilion.

A head of beautiful hair is lightly tied with a silver jade purple moon hairpin, which looks like a city, as if floating like a fairy.

What caught Yu Wenjun the most was that Sima Xingnan was holding a weaving object in his hand, as if he was weaving a piece of clothing.

Even if he came to see her at this moment, he didn't stop.

"When did you become obsessed with women?"

There was a little scrutiny in Yu Wenjun's eyes.

"Didn't the empress say it? The clothes of the four seasons must be spun."

"I mean, after you get married, you will weave your husband's four-season clothes by yourself. This is the way to be a wife, and it is the best way to grasp a man's heart. However, you are not yet married. What are you weaving for?"

Sima Xingnan blushed and said, "I knit it for the emperor's younger brother!"

"Your clothes are too big for him to wear."

"Hey, my daughter made a mistake. In fact, it was knitted for my uncle."

Sima Xingnan stepped forward, his whole body attached to Yu Wenjun, intending to pass the test with cuteness.

Yu Wenjun held the semi-finished summer clothes in his hand and looked at them carefully, and said, "This one is too small for your uncle to wear, what's more, you don't even weave summer clothes for your mother, why are you weaving summer clothes for your uncle?"

"Tell me, but it was woven for Mr. Zhao's family?"

"what?"

Sima Xingnan's pretty face suddenly turned red, and he shook his head quickly: "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

Yu Wenjun also came from Sima Xingnan's current age, so how could he not see what his daughter was thinking?
"Today. I will discuss with your uncle and plan to make a marriage for you first."

engagement?

Sima Xingnan's face turned pale, and he said, "Mother, my daughter is too young to think about it."

"Be engaged to that Mr. Zhao's family, are you unwilling?"

"what?"

Sima Xingnan froze for a moment, his pale face became bloodshot again in an instant, it was tender and red, as if water would drip out when he pinched it.

"If you don't want to, then I will reject my marriage."

"Do not."

Sima Xingnan hurriedly stopped him, then turned his head over, and said rather arrogantly: "The queen mother once said before that royal women have always been unable to control marriage matters, and now the queen mother is betrothing me to Mr. Zhao's family. How could a daughter spoil the queen mother's important affairs."

"You girl."

Yu Wenjun held Sima Xingnan in his arms.

daughter's thoughts.
She has figured it out.
