Houmen's concubine

Chapter 374
Xu Wenguang's thoughts were still on Xie Yuheng, his ex-son-in-law. His eldest daughter was weak and didn't have that blessing, but his first-in-law daughter was in good health. Marrying Xie Yuhang as the eldest concubine also counted as a renewed relationship with him.

Just, I don't know why?
Mrs. Zhongyong Hou saw so many noble daughters from aristocratic families, but she never paid attention to his Xu family daughter.

Every time Lord Xie's mansion hosts various spring banquets and plum feasts in the name of feasting on aristocratic women from aristocratic families for Xie Yuheng's blind date, there has never been a post sent to the prime minister's mansion!
Therefore, he became impatient, thinking that it was impossible, he should send his daughter to the palace!

Based on his official position as prime minister, his daughter's concubine status will definitely not be low.

In addition, other ministers have daughters in the emperor's harem, and they can prepare for any troubles in the emperor's harem. It's not like me, the harem has no family, it's just a black eye...
According to the usual practice, every draft year should first be reported to the emperor by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and after the approval of the decree, the officials at all levels of the Metropolitan Yamen will submit the roster of girls of the right age to the Central Metropolitan Yamen for collection. , and finally reported to the emperor by the household department, and the emperor decided to select the date for reading.

Unlike his ancestors, Xiao Yi didn't want to have too many sons.In his opinion, it is much better to teach one or two sons carefully than to sow randomly and produce a bunch of bad things.After all, Jiangshan only needs one heir, and if there are too many children, what's the point of fighting for brother Ni Qiang?
What's more, the emperor already had three sons and two daughters...

Therefore, Xiao Yi has no intention of drafting.

The courtiers don't know that the emperor's heart is now tied to the incident of the imperial examination next year, and also to the safety of the border!
Emperor Mingzheng did not expect that a large number of ministers put their minds on their enthusiasm for the draft, and they were really speechless.

"This matter will be discussed after the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs returns to Beijing!" The frosty voice instantly made the ministers who were still arguing just now stop talking.

Throughout the morning, Xie Yuheng did not say a word.However, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to disarm or return to the court at this time.

The most important thing at present is to quickly supply the northern Xinjiang in the coldest area, so that the soldiers can safely survive this year's cold winter.

Wu Zhi was standing at the lower right hand of the dragon case holding Buddha dust in his hand, and saw the emperor frowning tightly, exuding a frightening cold aura.

I sighed in my heart: The Holy Majesty came to court happily, but he was so sullen!
So, he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly to the courtiers: "If there is something to do, let the court go!"

Wu Zhi was also clever. Seeing the emperor flicking his sleeves and walking towards the imperial study, he immediately approached behind the emperor with eight-character steps, and suggested in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the 'Sihai Restaurant' on Desheng Street has recently opened again. Introduce new dishes. How about, Your Majesty, invite Lord Xie and Qin Juzi to taste it together?"

Xiao Yi was about to sternly reprimand him: You bastard, no matter the occasion, why would I have the desire to go out and drink freely?

It's just that when I heard Qin Juzi, my heart couldn't help but move: Huh?This Qin Juzi's little head is the most flexible and has many golden ideas.Going to her will definitely solve my worries and doubts.

Besides, the man Qin Juzi contributed to the imperial court, but he has not yet been an official, so he cannot participate in major affairs of the court.

In the emperor's mind, next spring, regardless of whether Wang Tonger is in high school or not, he will open the back door for her and give her an official position, so that he can be worthy of Qin Juzi's great contribution to the court for his suggestions and suggestions in the past few months.

"Well, hurry up and reserve a seat at the Four Seas Restaurant!"

"Cha! This servant is going!" Wu Zhi was so happy when he saw the cold aura on the emperor's body disappear without a trace in an instant!

Otherwise, why wouldn't I stay tremblingly in the oppressive imperial study, seeing the emperor in a bad mood but having nowhere to relieve his worries?

It is said that the Four Seas Restaurant is a restaurant with a relatively large area, which is divided into four parts. The southernmost building is a restaurant specially opened for business.Therefore, it is the most prosperous, especially when it is time for meals, there is a lot of people, and it will not gradually dissipate until late at night.

Of course, the first is that the dishes are exquisite, the second is that the environment is elegant, and the third is that the price is high.

Therefore, it has been well-known in the circle of nobles in Beijing and China for a long time, word of mouth, and those who have money have joined in...

Sometimes when Xiao Yi was bored, Wu Zhi recommended him to go to Sihai Restaurant a few times, and tasted the delicious food and wine there.

Not bad, quite to my taste.

However, the easternmost building is extremely quiet. The decoration is different from the bustling and high-profile vestibule. The sound insulation is excellent. There are only three boxes on the first floor, and the interior is also exquisite, with extremely ingenious design.

Wu Zhi personally sent his capable eunuchs to reserve the innermost box. The box has a large area and several small rooms can be divided.In the small house, there is a chaise longue for guests to rest and change clothes, and there is also a washroom for guests to wash their hands.

Needless to say, the price of this box is not cheap.

So, under the service of the court lady, Xiao Yi changed into the bright yellow dragon robe that represented absolute authority.Put on a black wide embroidered robe, a jade crown on the head, and a jade belt around the waist.She is tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, as beautiful as crown jade.He has such an air of luxury that people dare not look directly at him.

At noon, the emperor left the palace wearing a dark mink fur cloak, followed by the commander of the guards, Cheng Xiao, and his servant Wu Zhi...

At this time, Wang Tong'er had just come out of Zhao Wen's dormitory, and was sitting with Xiuyun Xiaoxue under the eaves of the veranda basking in the sun, while teaching them how to knit clothes!
Wang Tong'er saw that the two of them were learning quite quickly, so she probably didn't need to do it by herself.

He was in a good mood watching Xiaoxue and Xiuyun seriously crocheting the knitting clothes. Unexpectedly, the unfamiliar ones were slowly crocheting the wool under his guidance, and the two's little hands became silky at the moment.

Looking at Xiaoxue's increasingly white and delicate face, Wang Tong'er thought in her heart: Give her to her mother as a daughter?No, even though she was freed from slavery, her natal family's family background is still not worthy of Xu Jinshen's family.

Worry about that!
At this moment, Da Mei came in with a letter in her hand, saluted Wang Tong'er and said, "Master, this is your reply letter from Madam."

Uh?
Wang Tonger's eyes lit up suddenly: Wouldn't it be the best thing to recognize Xiaoxue as an adopted daughter to Cousin Jiaojiao?

Xiaoxue followed her cousin Jiaojiao to learn how to manage Zhongfu. Although Xiaoxue also learned to manage accounts when she was in Qinzhou, how can she be more pragmatic than following the wife who manages Zhongfu in the mansion?
For the time being, Xiuyun asked her to follow Nanny Xu to help manage her house. Nanny Xu estimated that she would not stay here for long, because Xu Jinshen had already taken a fancy to a three-storey house on Yong'an Street, which bordered Yongsheng Street. The big house in the yard, when the time comes, Xu Jinshen will take over his old man and have servants to take care of him in his old age?

　Emperor: Draft?After all, Jiangshan only needs one heir, and if there are too many children, what's the point of fighting for brother Ni Qiang?
