Mysterious Tang Dynasty

The day before Li Lijun's renunciation ceremony, Concubine Dou took her daughter Li Wanzhi, head of Pingdu County, and accompanied by the eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Pei, a familiar aunt, to meet the Wang family.

After returning to the Sui Palace, Concubine Dou told Sui Wang: "The child is not bad, he looks gentle and elegant, decent, talented and educated, and has good etiquette. But he said he was an official, but he actually did it. It's just a job of compiling books, which is quite idle and has no future. Moreover, this kid may be too honest. If you ask him a question, he will answer one sentence, and he will not say a word, which is a bit dull. If Wanzhi lives with him, I'm afraid it's too boring."

But Li Wanzhi herself has a different opinion: "What's wrong with being an honest man? I think he's quite easy to worry about. If he's too smart and talkative, I'll despise him instead." A sweet-talking and clever person like Jun is not at all cold, and is more inclined to find a husband-in-law with a completely opposite personality.

Concubine Dou looked at her daughter helplessly, unable to explain to her that sometimes life is too boring and painful.Sui Wang was not a person who would come to trouble, he only cared about burning incense and praying to Buddha all day long.As his wife, she has also suffered a lot, not just because her stepson is not a man.Her daughter's background, appearance, and temperament are all good. She hopes that her daughter's marriage can be successful in every way, and she will not suffer from the disadvantages she once suffered.

The King of Sui sided with his daughter: "Since Wanzhi thinks it's good, let's settle for the son of the Wang family. It's Wanzhi who wants to marry, and she has to like it." He asked his daughter if she really liked it. ?It's not just talking angry, is it?
Wanzhi solemnly nodded her head: "Marriage is such a big deal, how dare you mess around? If there are no other accidents, this is the person."

The King of Sui said to his wife, "That's fine. Wanzhi has taken a fancy to her. Parents must help her. I know you may think that the Wang family is a bit inferior, but the Jingzhao Wang family is also a rich family with a famous family tradition. All are good, the father and grandfather of Mr. Wang's family were not Baiding, that's enough. For a family like ours, why do we want our daughter to marry into a noble family? It's good to have five surnames and seven looks, but where can we find it in a hurry? A young man who is good in everything? If he was outstanding in everything, he would have been targeted long ago, and people would pick and choose, and it might not be Wanzhi's turn. It's not a bad thing that the son-in-law is an honest idiot. We didn't If you plan to find someone who is dedicated to climbing up for your child, won't Wanzhi still worry about her husband's future in the future? Then it's better to find an honest person so that the young couple can live in peace!"

Concubine Dou was persuaded: "The prince is right. In fact, the Wang family is not bad. His mother is also a kind person, not those who are picky and mean. His family is relatively simple, and the elder brother and elder sister-in-law are also reasonable. Just Even the eldest daughter who is married is a respectable person."

Li Lijun who happened to be present couldn't help but interjected at this time: "Since his parents and daughter are married, why did they come to watch the brothers? Didn't they say that her husband is the prefect of Jiuyuan? She doesn't have to follow Ren Shang?"

Concubine Dou said with a smile: "Her husband-in-law has just been promoted to the prefect of Jiuyuan. She happened to be visiting relatives in the middle of the capital. She was worried about her brother, so she followed her. I think she has a good bearing, and she has a sense of humor in her words. She is not that difficult big brother." Auntie."

Sui Wangdao: "If the Wang family has no objections, let's finalize this marriage as soon as possible. Don't delay the wedding for too long, just do it as soon as possible. The things that should be prepared have already been prepared. If it is because of some If you can't argue over trivial matters, then delaying the wedding until two or three years later will not be good for Wanzhi's life in her in-law's house in the future."

Li Wanzhi bowed her head and remained silent.Concubine Dou smiled and said to her daughter-in-law: "I have already inquired about it before, and your sister-in-law's natal aunt is the guarantor. The Wang family's character is no problem. If you make an engagement earlier, you will save nights and dreams. My sister will leave Beijing soon to take up the post of husband-in-law, and before leaving home, I can see that my brother has made a big decision for his life, so I can leave with peace of mind."

Concubine Dou was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to think of something, her face turned pale, she forced a smile and said, "That's right. The son of the Wang family is two years older than our Wanzhi, and the concubine sees that the Wang family is also anxious to marry him , it has been delayed for a long time, God knows if something will happen again? Even though the marriage is not predestined, there is no need to force it. But if there is another twists and turns in the graceful marriage, the gossip in the clan will not be listened to."

During dinner, I heard that Li Wanzhi had seen each other once today and was about to make a marriage contract. The Lin family of the third room was also surprised and said: "Is this too hasty? Our family just met Mr. Wang's family." That's all for one thing, you have to investigate carefully and see him a few more times before you can determine whether he is a good match for the county lord, right?"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Lin didn't say anything more, just chatted about the official position of the eldest sister of the Wang family's family, and was quite surprised when she learned that she was the prefect of Jiuyuan: "That's a frontier land. The son-in-law of the Wang family is actually a general guarding the border. It's really unexpected. I thought his family was Pai Siwen, and I thought he was from a scholarly family."

In fact, Concubine Dou knew in her heart that her husband's sudden suggestion to marry a daughter as soon as possible had nothing to do with gossip in the clan. She was probably worried that the successor king Li Dai would offend Yang Guozhong and affect the whole family.Once something happened to the Sui Palace, it would be hard to say whether the daughter would be able to marry.Although Jingzhaowang's reputation is very good, they are also a big family, and it is impossible to provoke a celebrity like Yang Guozhong for the marriage contract of a younger brother.

"The Wang family has produced many civil servants, and the Guo family is also a famous family." Concubine Dou briefly introduced the background of her future in-laws, and emphasized that his family has a good relationship with the Pei family. The stable and safe middle class of Beijing officials lived a stable life.Maybe there won't be any high-ranking officials, but it's unlikely that there will be any risks.

Li Wanzhi didn't know if she wanted to understand this point, her blushing face had turned pale, and she remained silent ever since.

Lin understood: "Indeed, stability is more important than anything else." As the daughter of the Duke's family, she would choose to marry Li Lang as his successor, isn't she also seeking stability?With such a masterful heir, Li Dai, in the Sui Palace, who would be willing to have anything to do with such an ambitious person?I can't be too busy just worrying about it all day long, no matter how rich and noble my life is, I have to have my life to enjoy it.

The Sui Wang family had dinner together happily.During the period, except for the heir king Li Dai who was still recuperating in the west courtyard under the pretext of a relapse of the old injury, and the eldest granddaughter Li Chujun who was still under house arrest and did not appear at the occasion where his stepmother Princess Pei would be present, everyone else was smiling and happy. Congratulations to Li Wanzhi, congratulations to her for finding Mr. Ruyi, and she is about to decide on a lifelong event.

Then, they persuaded Li Lijun again to seriously consider whether it is necessary to choose to become a nun at such a young age.

Li Lijun once again gave an affirmative answer.

How could she change her mind at this point?If you don't go out, do you want to be like little aunt Li Wanzhi, picking someone or being picked in the blind date market, and going through all kinds of troubles?Where does she have that leisure time? !
But...is Guo Ziyi already the prefect of Jiuyuan now?Li Lijun re-read the Tang history notes she made a few days ago, and always felt that something was wrong.
