son-in-law

Chapter 116 Cao's Niece
Changqiu Palace, Feixiang Palace.

Empress Dowager Chen was lying on a chaise longue, playing with a piece of jade.

Li Wantang walked in and whispered something in a low voice.

"Very good. This is what I want." Empress Dowager Chen nodded with satisfaction: "The three princes have set up eyes and ears in the palace. They think I don't know who it is. Hehe. Now let their eyes and ears spread the news, It's easier for them to believe."

Li Wantang smiled: "Empress Dowager Yinghui."

Empress Dowager Chen sat up, gave the jade bi to Li Wantang, and said: "Let Concubine Liang stay in my room, and let her continue screaming at night. If the screaming is not miserable enough, give her the white silk."

"The old slave understands, so let's spread the word."

"Oh, there's no need to be so anxious." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "Tell me, who is the most suitable choice for the queen this time?"

Li Wantang was filled with fear and trepidation: "This is such an important matter, this old slave dare not talk nonsense."

The queen mother smiled and said: "You Li Wantang, you are the most cunning. Don't think I don't know, you are somewhat related to the Cao family."

Li Wantang knelt down immediately: "This old slave is indeed related to the Cao family, but this old slave dare not take sides with anyone."

"Don't panic. In this deep palace, you are the only one who reassures me the most." The queen mother waved her hand, signaling Li Wantang to get up, and said slowly:
【To choose a queen, I want to choose Zhang Yunlong's daughter the most, but unfortunately her daughter is too young, only ten years old.Not an adult yet.Even if you are elected, you cannot have a baby.The next best thing is the Cao family.It happens to be your relative.

This time the three of them chose to send their daughters, I think they know it well, but they are just three foils.This exam is mainly about the six girls sent by Daoguangfang.I hope Miss Cao's family will not let me down.After all, I am nearly half a hundred years old, and I really have to think about future affairs.I don't want to let the first emperor poke my spine under the nine springs.Therefore, the Cao family girl must be a capable person. 】

Li Wantang said: "Cao Sheng's daughter is not very old, if I remember correctly, she is only 12 years old."

Empress Dowager Chen said: "Don't you have a niece? Cao Shi was also my favorite general at the beginning. You go and see what kind of scheming that girl is."

"The old slave will do it tomorrow."

"In addition, Cao Wudi, you have to tell him not to be too impatient."

After Tang Linger sweated, she still had a sullen face and didn't even say thank you.

Su Yu could tell that Tang Ling'er was very useful, and her complexion improved a lot.

Covering her face with sweat, she closed her eyes and didn't look at anyone. She probably avoided it on purpose and didn't want to say thank you.

If Su Yu doesn't leave at this time, I really don't know how long this "pretty good" princess will close her eyes.

Su Yu was interested, turned and left.

Wang Xun cheerfully sent Su Yu out of the gate, and wanted to pass the news to the elders.

Su Yu took the "Shangfang Sword" to find the Shun Inner Court, and the Shun Inner Court arranged for two old swordsmen to accompany Su Yu out on errands.

These two people are really a bit old. If you guessed correctly, they should be in their 60s.

It was later learned that the two of them were swordsmen from the same batch of Lin Falcon.Now that they are older, their physical strength is definitely not as good as before, but the prestige of the two is still very high.When a swordsman like Lin Xiao saw these two, he would respectfully call him uncle.

There are two of them, one is Zhen Xiuwei and the other is Shi Maosheng.

These are two old swordsmen who love to joke.

"Oh! My uncle is so handsome! He looks even more romantic than the late emperor!"

"Old Shi, don't be surprised. It scares my uncle."

"What, did I say something wrong? In my heart, the late emperor has always been the most handsome man. If he can be compared with the late emperor, he is the thousand-year-old Mu Wang. It's a pity that the Mu Wang is no longer here, so I can't see him anymore."

Shi Maosheng spoke loudly, giving the impression of shouting.He used to be Tang Qiong's personal bodyguard, and he was also the cousin of Shi Jinchong, the captain of Da Sima Iron Cavalry.

Su Yu took a closer look at this man, and couldn't help but sigh that the historians really look alike.Big bald head, beard.I really don't know if the bald heads we see in Qinghuafang are all from the Shi family.If so, then the family's bald genes are really too strong.

And this Zhen Xiuwei is similar to Shi Maosheng's identity and experience, and is also a family member of the "Eight Great Generals".

The two old brothers are in good shape, still burly and strong.

Shi Maosheng said carelessly: "Oh, uncle, how did your father Su Changsheng die? How many wives did he marry later?"

Su Yu was slightly embarrassed, and said: "According to my estimation, he died from taking too much immortality cultivation pill. Some doctors also said that he died from liver deficiency."

"Where is the daughter-in-law?"

"After going to Huazhou, I never married again."

Shi Maosheng sighed: "Your father must be old and confused. What's the use of eating that thing. If it is useful, the Duke will not die."

The Duke he was talking about refers to Tang Qiong, not Tang Zhen.

Zhen Xiuwei was a little impatient, stopped Shi Maosheng, and asked: "I don't know why my uncle is looking for me?"

Su Yu briefly explained the matter, and finally said with a smile: "With the help of two uncles, it must be much smoother to get things done."

Shi Maosheng laughed loudly and said: "Of course! My uncle will choose people. We brothers will come forward, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. Those old things in the Presbyterian Church are like birds in front of the Commander-in-Chief. If Tang Li dares to stop Look at you, see if I don't slap him two big ears."

Su Yu smiled awkwardly but politely.

Su Yu took two old swordsmen to the third son's house.

The third son died in battle 15 years ago, along with his three sons.Now there are two sons who are serving in the army and don't go home all the year round.

The eldest lady in the family is lazy and cowardly, and it is said that even the slaves dare to bully her.But his daughter Tang Ju [jū] is very domineering, quite like his father.

When Tang Ju was 12 years old, he executed his family's evil slaves and has been in charge of the family ever since.

"Tang Ju pays homage to uncle."

"You and I are the same age, so you don't need to be too polite. Just call me Jinfeng."

"How can that work? Uncle just joked." Tang Ju smiled embarrassedly.

Su Yu also smiled.

Shi Maosheng: "Haha, I found that my uncle is also a joker. Let's get closer in the future."

Shi Maosheng yelled so loudly that it could be heard in the backyard.

At this time, Tang Li's people chased to the door.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shi Maosheng turned his head and stared.

Tang Li's people went back again.

When I came to the third son's mansion, I went to see Mrs. Sister-in-law. Mrs. Sister-in-law looked sick and didn't say much, so she left Madam's room and went to the living room.

Su Yu explained why he came, but Tang Ju frowned, but didn't reply right away.

It can be seen that the recent burial had some influence on the girl.She doesn't seem to want to be a concubine in the palace.But she also knew that it was not her turn to decide this matter.

Su Yu took a closer look at Tang Ju. This girl had a big, wide face, high cheekbones, and her face was a bit skewed. Her forehead was protruding, as if she had a big tumor.

It's really ugly.

But the girl is very energetic, and she can be seen as a capable person.

"Uncle is here, is it the uncle's intention?"

"Yes."

"Since this is the case, Tang Ju dare not disobey his orders. Let uncle make arrangements."

Su Yu praised and said: "What a sensible girl. This time there is an exam to choose a concubine, which is really ingenious. But I think our Tang family girl will be selected even if I hand in an empty paper. Of course, This is just a joke, you can’t really hand in a blank paper. Even if you don’t know how to answer the question, it’s still good to write something about ‘Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ and ‘Loyalty to the Emperor and Serve the Country’. When you are selected, Dongfu will definitely prepare generous gifts for you. You try to bring your personal servant girl into the palace too. My sister-in-law is weak, so I won't bother you any more. Please tell her kindly."
