Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 188 Flower Banquet
Ling Roujia and Tang Bingxuan have been close to each other in the past few years, and Tang Bingxuan can see the happiness and satisfaction on Ling Roujia's face.

Ling Roujia used to look calm and joyless before her wedding, but now that she has a husband and a child, she has become much gentler.

Tang Wensong didn't mean to interrupt when his eldest sister mentioned Ling Roujia's current situation. He was also happy to hear that the head of Roujia County and his wife were playing the piano and their children were healthy and lively. After Tang Bingxuan finished speaking, she saw that her eldest brother Tang Wensong's expression was very calm, and there was no unforgettable excitement or reluctance to leave her old lover. It seemed that the eldest brother had really let go.

In this way, Tang Bingxuan felt that today's topic could be solved satisfactorily, so she directly stated her intention.

"My mother asked me to ask my eldest brother what kind of girl he likes. It doesn't depend on family background or talent, as long as you like her."

Tang Wensong pulled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, not even showing his white teeth.

"I don't have any favorite girl now. As long as she can shoulder the burden of the family with me, you and mother can take care of it."

After five years of living at the border, Tang Wensong took a dim view of his children's love affairs. All he wanted from his wife was to be able to run the household and take care of the inner house.

"Brother, aren't you afraid that my mother and I will choose someone you hate to be your wife?"

Although everyone is a matchmaker ordained by their parents, within a certain range, they still have to listen to the opinions of the parties involved in choosing a spouse.

The four-year-old emperor Sun Lingwei and his two-year-old brother Ling Yan followed the nanny and palace attendants to pay their respects to the Crown Princess Pingyu.

Ling Wei is the eldest son of Prince Ling Qian. He has always had someone to teach him. The four-year-old child is obviously precocious than his peers.

Tang Bingxuan originally thought that Tang Wensong would let go of the woman he once liked so that he could get involved in a new relationship, but she didn't expect that Tang Wensong would take life-long events so lightly.

"Brother believes in your and mother's vision."

The Crown Princess was originally listening to the palace servants reporting on the movements of several concubines in the East Palace. The expression on her face was dark and unclear. When she heard her son's voice, her whole body suddenly became gentle and bright.

When Ling Yan heard his mother's words, he stumbled over and rushed into Ping Yu's arms. The emperor's eldest son, Sun Lingwei, took a few steps forward and stopped in front of his mother and brother.

Ping Yu privately did not want her eldest son to live such a repressed and restrained life at such a young age, but she was powerless and could only give her eldest son more care when greeting him.

Princess Pingyu felt pain in her heart every time she saw her eldest son restraining himself so much, but she never showed it when facing Ling Wei.

I don’t know if my future sister-in-law can conquer the high mountain of Tang Wensong. Tang Bingxuan is very looking forward to the candidate for her future sister-in-law!
....
"Mother and concubine, I brought my younger brother to pay my respects to my mother and concubine."

As the eldest son of the crown prince, Ling Wei has shouldered greater responsibilities than his other brothers since he was born. He has been taught various lessons and etiquette since he was sensible.

Tang Wensong didn't care much about his marriage and looked at his sister's concise words seriously.

"Wei'er and Yan'er are both coming to the concubine."

"Weier, thank you for your hard work in bringing your brother here today. My mother-in-law asked someone to make you the flower cake you like. You and your brother will eat more later."

Ling Wei's eyes flashed with joy, and he thanked his mother and concubine restrainedly and politely, "Thank you, concubine."

Ling Yan was obviously happy when he heard that there was a flower cake to eat. He couldn't speak clearly and acted coquettishly in Ping Yu's arms, "Mother, Concubine, Yan'er also wants to eat meat wrapped in paper." "Yes, Concubine has prepared it for Yan'er."

Ling Wei was extremely envious when he saw his younger brother in his mother's arms, but he remembered his husband's words not to act coquettishly like his younger brother.

Pingyu handed her second son Ling Yan to her nanny, stood up and took her eldest son Ling Wei's little hand, and said with a gentle smile: "Let's go have breakfast."

Ling Wei struggled and hesitantly let his mother and concubine lead him away, but he felt sweet joy in his heart, and finally listened to his heart and did not reject his mother and concubine's closeness.

Ling Wei secretly warned himself that he was only like this in his mother's palace and would never be like this outside.

He is the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ling Kingdom and has a heavy responsibility. He cannot be affectionate as a child, nor can he covet too much tenderness.

Since Tang Wensong felt at ease with his mother Liu and his eldest sister Tang Bingxuan, the mother and daughter began to make plans to choose a wife for Tang Wensong.

Not only was the eldest son Tang Wensong not engaged in the Duke Rong's palace, but the third young master Tang Wenbai was also at the age where he wanted to get married. The Duke's wife Liu and the wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it and decided to hold a flower appreciation banquet in the palace.

The people in Kyoto were a little bit excited because of the return of Tang Wensong, the prince of Rongguo. Seeing that the Duke's mansion had not held a flower banquet for many years, he sent a message to everyone, and everyone tacitly understood it.

As a result, every family in Kyoto began to make jewelry and new clothes for the unengaged girls in the family, preparing to attend the flower banquet of the Duke of Rongguo in the best appearance.

The summer day is hot but the flowers are blooming, and all the ladies and ladies in the Duke's mansion are also preparing for the flower banquet three days later.

Tang Bingyu has reached the age of hairpins, and Tang San's wife, Xiao Shao, has also been choosing a family for her daughter recently, but she hasn't decided yet.

Mr. Tang San is famous, so Xiao Shao, who comes from a scholarly family, does not dare to choose for his daughter. Besides, Tang Bingyu's temperament is more lively and not dignified, and the third wife, Xiao Shao, does not want her daughter to marry into a high family and become the eldest daughter. Daughter-in-law.

Taking advantage of the flower banquet hosted by his eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, Xiao Shao planned to let her daughter help her eldest niece Tang Bingxuan entertain the ladies who came to the house, and also let the matrons of the various families who came to the banquet see their daughters.

Tang Sanye and his wife did not have many requirements for a foreign son-in-law. They just wanted to find a responsible and clean son-in-law who would treat their daughter Tang Bingyu well throughout his life. Future fame and family wealth were secondary.

On this day, at the flower viewing banquet at the Duke's Mansion, most of the officials and matrons of the seventh-rank and above families in Kyoto came to attend, along with their unmarried daughters.

Because she still had to choose a wife for her concubine, Mrs. Liu, the duke's wife, specially wrote on the invitation card to invite the lady of your house and all the ladies in her family to attend.

Due to the low rank, many ladies and young ladies came to the Rongguo Palace to attend the flower banquet. People in the Rongguo Palace, who had always felt that their own residence was spacious and grand, realized for the first time that there were too many people and the space was small.

The male servants in the Duke's Mansion had to politely stay away from today's flower viewing banquet. Even the youngest Tang Wenhong also stayed out together with his fourth brother Tang Wenzhu.

Today, Tang Bingxuan and her third sister, Tang Bingyu, are mainly entertaining the ladies. Some of them are friends with people from the same circle, and many of them are meeting them for the first time.

Basically, in families where the father and brother were officials, the girls in the family were pretty good-looking. Tang Bingxuan looked at a room full of pretty little girls and couldn't help but feel that she was a generation behind them.

Some were brave enough to come directly to make friends with Sister Tang Bingxuan, some were timid and sat silently admiring the flowers, and some were smart and watched the changes. The young girls were all mixed up with all kinds of thoughts.

Among this group of ladies, there was a little girl who seemed to be invisible and isolated by everyone, sitting alone in the corner.
