Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 223 We still don't believe it, we can't pick a few good wives for our grandson!
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Mrs. Xie hurriedly took the handkerchief handed over by her daughter-in-law to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then pretended to ask casually.

"Where did the ladies go, why haven't you come back to meet your majesty and empress?"

Mrs. Xu Huizu hurriedly agreed upon hearing this.

"When I received His Majesty's order, my daughter-in-law had already sent someone to Feng's house to pick him up. I guess she should be back soon, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie feigned displeasure and scolded.

"Hurry up and take a look!"

"promise!"

With a promise, Wang stepped back a few steps and walked out.

Xie's asking Wang to find someone was a lie, but it was true to send Wang away and let her go to the back house in advance to prepare.

If His Majesty came here in person, he must have come to propose a marriage. After all, you have to dress up your maid, right?

Besides, the kitchen also needs support, and someone has to prepare the fruits, vegetables and wine in the warehouse. What does it mean for her to be here as the head of the house?
After Mrs. Wang left, Concubine Guo Hui dragged Mrs. Xie to chat enthusiastically, it was nothing more than some parents' short-sightedness.

Lao Zhu was bored listening to it, and because he had just aroused his grief for Zhu Biao, he was just drinking tea in boredom, chatting with Zhu Di occasionally, and asking about things outside the pass.

After chatting for a while, Lao Zhu suddenly realized that there was someone missing in the room, and the eldest grandson he brought had gone somewhere.

"Where's Zhu Yunxi?"

When everyone heard the words, they hurriedly looked around, only to see that Zhu Yunxi was no longer in the room.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly ordered someone to look for it, but Zhu Gui rushed to take over the job.

He has long been impatient sitting in the house, and if he hadn't suffered from a lack of excuses, he would have wanted to run away.

"Father, my son saw Zhu Yunxie go out just now, I'll go get him back!"

Lao Zhu also knew his son's virtues, and knew that he was already impatient, so he waved him to go.

However, before Zhu Gui walked out of the main room, he saw Zhu Yunxie walking in with his face covered in blood.

When the people in the room saw Zhu Yunxi like this, they all stood up in fright. Old Zhu was so angry that his face was covered with frost, and he immediately asked what happened.

"Da Sun, who hurt you?"

"Dog bites!"

"dog?"

Old Zhu looked at Mrs. Xie with displeasure.

"Siblings, do you still have dogs at home?"

"no?"

Mrs. Xie replied, and hurriedly ordered the members of Xu's family to pass on the imperial physician.

"Need not!"

"I'm fine, I was just bitten by a dog, just find me a basin of water to wash my nose!"

Lao Zhu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Dasun's angry words.

I just saw Dasun's face covered in blood, but he was terrified.Seeing that he still speaks so stubbornly now, it seems that he just hurt his nose, so he should be fine.

Not long after, Zhu Yunxi, under the service of the Xu family's two daughters-in-law, washed up again, stuffed a ball of cotton balls in his nose, and when he stood in front of Lao Zhu again, Lao Zhu almost burst out laughing.

This Nisun didn't know who had beaten him, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen obviously, instead of revealing the person's name, he showed a stubborn and unconvinced expression on his face.

It can be seen from this that the person who beat him must be about the same age as him, so he was embarrassed to mention it, hahaha...

Although Lao Zhu laughed heartily, the Xu family can't treat it as nothing happened, and must give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi didn't say who was beaten, so they had no choice but to search around the courtyard like headless chickens.

When Lao Zhu saw the young girl standing at the door, he thought to himself that this must be the daughter of Xu's generation, so he immediately stopped Xie and others from yelling, and hurriedly ordered her to come forward to introduce her.

"Brothers and sisters, take a rest, Zhu Yunxie's injury may not be caused by someone else, maybe it was broken somewhere."

"You'd better bring those little girls at the door over to show us!"

Mrs. Xie got the emperor's will, and immediately waved to several juniors of the Xu family standing at the door.

"Your Majesty has a decree, hurry up and pay your respects to Your Majesty and Concubine Hui!"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoqing immediately led her younger sister Xu Miaojin and her niece Xu Wan to meet her.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Greetings to Concubine Hui, Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"

After Lao Zhu saluted the three little girls, he immediately asked them to get up.

"Be flat!"

"Look up and show us!"

Xu Miaoqing raised her head reluctantly, although her face was facing His Majesty the Emperor, her eyes were on Zhu Gui who was sitting beside the Emperor, her eyes were full of disdain.

Seeing Xu Miaoqing's slim appearance, Zhu Gui was stunned, he looked like a pig brother, and his heart was full of surprises.

The concubine did not lie to herself, Xu Miaoqing really looks beautiful!

Old Zhu praised Xu Miaoqing a few words, and then looked at the little girl in green clothes in the middle, his eyes were full of admiration.

Just now the three little girls walked in together, only the middle one in green dared to look at her, her eyes were full of curiosity and exploration, she looked like a bold girl, she was a perfect match for her little Ni grandson.

"This is the daughter of Huizu's family, right?"

"Sure enough, she is generous, like a lady from a famous family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie hurriedly stood up and explained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the third daughter of the palace, called Miaojin..."

"The one next to her is Xu Wan, the daughter of Huizu's family."

"oh oh……"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu immediately dropped Xu Miaojin and looked at Xu Wan who was standing next to her. After only a few glances, his eyes subconsciously fell on Xu Miaojin who was dressed in water green, with an unconcealable regret on his face.

It's a pity, it's a pity that these two children are not in the same generation...

In fact, Lao Zhu misunderstood just now, Xu Miaojin was not looking at him at all, but Zhu Yunxi standing in front of him with a cotton ball stuffed in his nose!

The curiosity and exploration in her eyes also came from this.

In Xu Miaojin's mind, this brat couldn't help beating him so much that he cried after being punched by him a few times, so he would definitely sue him severely.

However, what surprised her was that this brat who bullied her snow lion, even though she was beaten to the point of crying, would not confess to anyone who asked.

This made her feel a little regretful, regretting that she should not have hit her so hard just now, let alone hitting her nose...

It's just that when she heard Zhu Yunxi insisted that it was "a dog bite", the anger in her heart rose again.

The strike just now was still light, and I should make a few more punches according to the stomach!

When Xu Miaojin was looking at Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi was also looking at her, and secretly wrote down her name.

"So her name is Xu Miaojin!"

"Humph!"

"Little girl, please wait for me and see how I will punish you in the future!"

After Lao Zhu met all the daughters of the Xu family, he immediately ordered someone to reward a few little girls.

In fact, Lao Zhu just shouted "reward" and stopped talking, and the rest was all up to Concubine Guo Hui.

Concubine Guo Hui gave Xu Miaoqing a set of gold head and face jewelry, plus two boxes of palace flowers.The other two little girls also each received a set of silver head and face jewelry, plus a box of palace flowers.

Xu Miaojin and Xu Wan looked at the beautiful palace flower and thanked happily, while Xu Miaoqing had a weeping expression.

Because she knew that maybe this set of head and face jewelry was the money from the royal family, and she would marry that thirteen idiot sitting next to the emperor in the future.

Thinking of Zhu Gui's reputation of being ignorant and lingering in the Qinlou and Chuguan all day long, she didn't cry on the spot, which is considered self-restraining...

Old Zhu saw Xu Miaoqing's expression in his eyes, and secretly praised Guo Hui for his sharp eyesight.

Miss Xu Jiaer is really good, no matter in appearance or temperament, she is the best choice.No wonder the Xu family was unwilling to agree to this marriage. If they had such a daughter, they would not want her to marry a bastard like Zhu Gui.

"Siblings, I wonder if the two girls in your family were married before?"

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she hesitated immediately, wondering if she just made up a reason to push back the marriage...

To be honest, she really doesn't want to marry the royal family anymore, if she is a decent prince, that's all.Zhu Gui, a scum who sleeps in brothels all day, is really looked down upon by Duke Wei's 10,000.

"This……"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the little girl is not married."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was suddenly happy, and said happily.

"What a coincidence!"

"Our old thirteen has never been married, so we think these two children are a match made in heaven, hahaha!"

When Mrs. Xie heard His Majesty's unbridled laughter, she felt hatred in her heart.

How could this be made in heaven, it was not forced by you!

"Your Majesty, the little girl is stubborn, and I'm afraid she won't be good enough for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so please Your Majesty choose another spouse for King Yu..."

Old Zhu waved his hands nonchalantly.

"That's great!"

"Since the siblings don't object, let's finalize the marriage."

"Another day, let's order someone from the Ministry of Rites to come and hire me!"

Xu Miaoqing, who was standing behind Mrs. Xie, couldn't help hearing this, and cried out with a "wow".

When Lao Zhu heard Xu Miaoqing's cry, his face was filled with embarrassment, and he couldn't get off the stage immediately.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly ordered the daughter-in-laws to take the little girls down, and then came out to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me, my daughter is thin-skinned and has never seen a big scene. She was just too excited just now, so she lost her dignity in front of the king..."

After hearing this, Lao Zhu was not so embarrassed at all, but when he looked at Zhu Gui, he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, which scared Zhu Gui into a shock.I thought to myself, I didn't recruit anyone, I didn't provoke anyone, why is the old man staring at me!

Fortunately, at this time Xu Huizu came to ask whether to pass on the meal, which was regarded as a step for Lao Zhu.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor nodding, Xu Huizu immediately led everyone to the dining room.Concubine Guo Hui followed Mrs. Xie and other female relatives to the back house, where there were other arrangements.

Eating with Lao Zhu is a very painful thing. Even the two sons Zhu Di and Zhu Gui feel uncomfortable, let alone the Xu family brothers.

Sitting on the stools one by one, they only dared to bury their heads in the food in front of them, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Only Zhu Yunxi had long been accustomed to Lao Zhu's coercion, and he ate like no one else.

Originally, Lao Zhu just wanted to give the Xu family a face, and it was over after a few symbolic bites.

But seeing his grandson eating deliciously, he also ate an extra bowl of rice and stayed with him till the end.

Lao Zhu got up and drove back to the palace after having lunch at Xu's house. He returned to the palace and asked Concubine Guo Hui how the conversation was going.

Concubine Guo Hui chose a daughter-in-law she liked for her son, and she was naturally very happy. She praised the whole Xu family, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. She is very satisfied with this marriage, and the dowry must reflect the sincerity of the royal family. Come.

Lao Zhu didn't care about these things, he just let Concubine Guo Hui figure it out.

Concubine Guo Hui saw the loneliness in Lao Zhu's expression, and asked tentatively.

"My lord, what's on your mind?"

"Nothing!"

"When we celebrate our birthday, we will invite all family members above the third grade in the capital, regardless of whether they are noble or martial arts, to come to the palace!"

"If you have a girl of the right age at home, you should invite us!"

"We don't believe it yet, we can't pick a few good wives for our grandson!"

Concubine Guo Hui felt sour on the spot when she heard this. It was hard for her family to choose one for her son, but the emperor was lucky enough to be thinking about choosing a few for his grandson!
"My lord, if so many people are invited at one time, then the concubine's Changning Palace will not be enough, so we may have to open Sister Ma's Kunning Palace."

"Then open!"

"This is also to choose her granddaughter-in-law, and she should also look at each other!"
