Chapter 144
Seeing the prince's question, Concubine Yao couldn't help feeling complacent, and her face showed a little bit: "I heard that when this child was born, the room was full of red light, and her mother found a priest to show it to her. , saying that she is the Nine Heavens Xuannv who has come down to earth and will marry a noble son-in-law in the future and enjoy great wealth."

The prince couldn't help smiling, and asked, "Which Taoist priest is it that said such a thing?"

Concubine Yao was at a loss for words.

Even Zhao Zhongliang couldn't help laughing: "Isn't he a wandering Taoist priest?"

Concubine Yao became angry from embarrassment: "What are you talking about, this child..."

The prince couldn't help but interrupt her and said: "Come on, come on, you can go back, this betrothal gift can be added at most five thousand, and you can get together ten thousand silver, don't worry about it anymore."

Although Concubine Yao was dissatisfied, she knew that it was impossible to add more, so she had to put down the food box and go out.

The prince watched her go out, and said to Zhao Zhongliang: "This woman gave birth to a son, so everyone has become a fool. This is obviously to coax her. How can she be so stupid?"

Zhao Zhongliang also laughed: "Probably because he wanted to marry a noble girl, but he was so eager that he fell for the trick."

The prince said: "Look at it, when you marry in, some troubles will arise."

Zhao Zhongliang asked: "Where did you agree to let her marry in?"

The prince said: "Xiao Wu's child is smart, but he is not really smart. He will have limited achievements in the future. Since his biological mother is willing, I don't want to worry about it. When he gets married, I will find him an errand. I can't be too smart." It's important not to be too shabby, let him stand on his own."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "There are many vacancies for clerks in the six departments. If you find a good one, you will get it. I am afraid that the mother and son are too high-minded and unwilling."

The prince snorted: "It's wishful thinking to try to seize the position of the son with just the two of them."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghai is indeed a talented child. I think putting him in the barracks is afraid that he will be in danger in the future. Why not send him to the imperial guards and be a guard with a knife. He is free, rich and noble. Being a close minister of the emperor will benefit you in the future."

The prince said: "It's a good idea. I have Xinghe in my family going to the battlefield, that's enough for me to worry about. Xinghai should be on the safe side."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghe is already the pillar of the country. If he retreats, the world will be in chaos. There is no way to do this. Fortunately, Xinghe's daughter-in-law is capable, otherwise it will be..."

The prince said: "Speaking of this, I still feel uncomfortable. That Miss Qin, is that good? A widow, to be my grandson-in-law, I really..."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghe's daughter-in-law has always been very accurate in judging people and things. Since she is the one who likes it, she should not be wrong." The prince thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

Concubine Yao returned to the courtyard and began to prepare for the appointment.

She deeply felt that ten thousand silver was not decent enough, so she gritted her teeth and took out five thousand silver from her private room, filled it in, and finally got the betrothal gift.

When it was time for the engagement banquet, she heard that the princess had set Zhao Xinghai's wedding banquet on the sixth day, so she made the decision to set Zhao Xingyu's wedding banquet on the eighth day.

When the princess heard about it, she threw the teacup angrily, and Madam Zhu persuaded, "Didn't the lord tell you that? As soon as the fifth son gets married, find him an errand in the sixth department. You can just assume that they have finished the job early, so you don't have to worry about it." .”

The concubine took a few deep breaths and said, "Then Xinghai, what is your plan?"

Grandma Zhu said: "I haven't found out about this, but I just heard that the third son is not allowed to enter the barracks, and I want him to change places."

The concubine said: "Go, get [-] silver from the cabinet, and send it to the second master Zhao, just say it's me, at least find a good place for Xinghai."

Grandma Zhu quickly took the banknote and found Zhao Zhongliang.Zhao Zhongliang was also very surprised. He took the bank note and said, "Go back and tell my sister-in-law that Xinghai is the son of the eldest son, and he always needs to find a good position."

I wish my grandma got this, and went back happily.

Zhao Zhongliang found the prince and told him about it, he said: "Sister-in-law is also flexible, for the sake of Xinghai, she really went all out."

The prince just laughed: "These women are all fighting wits and courage. Come on. Here you are, you can take it. Over the years, you have been wronged by her a lot, so take it as compensation."

Zhao Zhongliang also smiled: "I have your backing, how can I be wronged?"

The prince said: "Your two sons should also have an errand."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Boss, I plan to let him follow me. He is not only smart, but also good at judging the situation. He is not an ordinary child. He can be Xinghai's right-hand man in the future. The second brother is almost there. I plan to let him be a scribe. Let's see if there is any future."

The prince said: "That's fine, anyway, if you are looking for an errand, you are looking for it. It will save trouble if you look for it together."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "I don't want my second son and Xingyu to be in the same yamen. That Xingyu has a lot of ambition and talent, so we shouldn't be close friends."

The prince also sighed: "I think so too, this kid is better at talking than anyone else, but in the final analysis, he can only talk empty talk."

Zhao Zhongliang stopped talking.

The prince said: "I plan to let Xingyu go to the Ministry of Officials, where there is a lot of oil and water, and he can talk, I'm afraid it's suitable for him. As for your family's etiquette, I plan to send him to the Ministry of War. If Xinghe goes to the battlefield in the future, It’s always better to have someone in the Ministry of War.”

Zhao Zhongliang said, "That's fine, I can rest assured with this arrangement."

Sure enough, on the sixth day of the busy day, Zhao Xinghai specially wore a bright red wedding dress, rode a tall horse, and brought people to Prince Zheng's mansion to pick up his relatives.

Zheng Yuemei bid farewell to her parents, got into the sedan chair, and came to Prince Ning's Mansion in a whistling manner.Firecrackers were fired in Prince Ning's mansion, and the guests were full, and they worshiped heaven and earth in a lively manner, and entered the bridal chamber.

Before this, Zhao Xinghai had never met Zheng Yuemei, only heard that she had a distinguished family background and was beautiful.This time I welcomed her back, and I was also very curious.After toasting, he quietly slipped away to the new house.In the new room, Zheng Yuemei was sitting cross-legged on the bed. As soon as Zhao Xinghai entered, a beautiful maid came over and saluted, "My lord, please lift your hijab and have a cup of wine."

Zhao Xinghai saw that the girl was beautiful and well-spoken, and knew that she must be Zheng Yuemei's confidant, so he didn't say anything, walked to the bed, took the scale, and lifted the hijab.It was the first time the two met and looked at each other.

Zheng Yuemei's appearance is bright and beautiful, although she is a boudoir girl, she has a bit of sharpness, and there is a bit of heroism in her eyebrows and eyes.She was wearing bright makeup, a bright red wedding dress, and a beaded crown, and she was looking at Zhao Xinghai seriously.Zhao Xinghai didn't expect her to be such a woman, not shy at all, and generous, but he was a little embarrassed.

Zheng Yuemei saw that Zhao Xinghai was tall, burly, dark-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, unlike ordinary children of aristocratic families, gentle and refined, with a personable demeanor, instead he looked like a martial artist, she felt a little disappointed.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Xinghai's heart sank.That maid, Ming Cui, hurried forward and handed over the glass: "Uncle, Miss, let's have a drink first."

Zheng Yuemei didn't speak.Zhao Xinghai took the wine glass, and Ming Cui handed Zheng Yuemei another wine glass.Zheng Yuemei couldn't help frowning slightly, and Zhao Xinghai became even more unhappy seeing her.

Two people, one standing and the other sitting, did not speak.For a moment, Ming Cui also became anxious.

Zhao Xinghai thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, wanting to have a cup of wine with Zheng Yuemei, Zheng Yuemei ducked unconsciously.

Zhao Xinghai couldn't help getting angry, he didn't say anything, he drank the wine in one gulp, turned around and left the new house.

Zheng Yuemei trembled angrily: "What is he doing! He's going to give me a blow on the first day?"

Ming Cui stepped forward to persuade: "Miss, why did you ignore my uncle just now?"

Zheng Yuemei said angrily: "There is someone from his family. He only said he was the eldest son, but how could he be such a vulgar person..."

Ming Cui was startled: "Miss, you have to be careful with your words..."

Zheng Yuemei said: "Am I wrong? Look at him, he doesn't look like a son of a family, he is clearly a farmer! How could my mother marry me to such a person!"

Ming Cui said: "Miss, you are already married, if you talk like this, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Zheng Yuemei raised her voice unknowingly: "As soon as he leaves like this, he won't be afraid of right and wrong. Am I wrong? He's just a reckless man who doesn't know etiquette!"

Seeing her like this, Ming Cui couldn't persuade her anymore.I had to lower my head, pretending not to hear.
