A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 735 On Fiance
The emperor was reviewing the papers in the imperial study room, while Eunuch Huang served the pen and ink beside him.

After a while, the emperor paused his pen and said: "I heard that the eldest son of Qiu Lianhe's family and the youngest daughter of Shou Wang's family have discussed marriage."

Eunuch Huang responded, "It seems to be the case."

It is a normal thing for courtiers to discuss relatives. As long as the marriage is not granted by the emperor, the emperor usually will not interfere.

The emperor said: "Shou Wang's eldest daughter married the commander of the imperial guards, and now the youngest daughter is married to the general's son." After a pause, he didn't understand the meaning, "Shou Wang really has a preference for the generals in this court."

Eunuch Huang said softly: "The old Shou Wang has not been involved in government affairs for many years. Now he is at home and has few heirs. Since the death of Shou Wang's son, there are only two daughters left under his knees. Even if he has the heart, he will not be able to reproduce. The second son."

Eunuch Huang's words were exactly what the emperor had in mind.

If it weren't for the fact that there would be no heirs in the Shouwang Palace, how could the emperor allow the two princesses of the Shouwang Palace to marry the generals as wives.Even if the only daughter is married, it is also a waste of water, and as time goes by, she becomes someone else's family.

Presumably King Shou also knew that the emperor had no such concerns, so he dared to discuss this marriage.

If not, the prince's daughter would marry military generals one after another, which would be a taboo for the suspicious emperor.

The emperor continued to review the memorial.

Although he did not interfere with this marriage, it seemed that he had his heart set on it.

***
Speaking of Shouwang's two daughters, the eldest daughter's name is Yin Qianqian. She has been married to the commander of the imperial guards for many years and has children, so let's not mention it for now; Shou Wang and his wife are very fond of them, and it can be said that they grew up under the care of thousands of people.

Yin Xiuxiu's background is impeccable, a member of the royal family, and her seniority is quite high.In addition to her beautiful appearance, although her talents are not as good as Xie Chuying among the ladies of the same age in Beijing, she is quite outstanding in Beijing.

On this day, Yin Xiuxiu went shopping with her girlfriends, and when she was tired from shopping, she sipped tea and chatted in a nearby teahouse.

As soon as the ladies sat down, it was inevitable that they would discuss the marriage between Yin Xiuxiu and General Qiu.

The waiter in the tea house brought the tea into the private room and left.

There is a maid in the room who pours tea for her master.

One of the young ladies asked, "Xiuxiu, has the date of your marriage to General Qiu been fixed?"

Yin Xiuxiu took a sip of tea and said, "It was just ordered yesterday."

The friend laughed from the side: "From now on, when you get married, you won't be able to go to the streets with us like you are now."

Yin Xiuxiu said: "What can't be done, I think you can go to the street as usual."

"How does Little General Qiu look? Are you satisfied with him?"

Qiu Ke usually spends most of her time walking around in the barracks, unlike those princes from aristocratic families in Beijing, she seldom appears in front of the ladies.

Therefore, there are many ladies who have never seen him, or who have seen him but have no impression of him.

Yin Xiuxiu's eyes were extremely picky, and she said, "He's just average. If I marry him, I'm considered married."

"Then why are you still willing to marry?"

Yin Xiuxiu smiled and said: "You don't understand this. If people from our background still count on high marriages, how many young men in this capital are worthy of us? The only way to get married is to go to the husband's house , it is only for me to order and send them, and the people of my husband's family dare not have any opinions. Even he, Qiu Ke, can only obey my orders."

The ladies sitting together couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing, and said, "You are the only one who can tell these fallacies."

Yin Xiuxiu played with the teacup, and said again: "Then Qiu Ke's rules are rules, but after all, he is from the Wu family. Do you expect him to be as elegant and knowledgeable as the son of the scholarly family? After all, he is just a reckless man." Man Niu is a man who can only wield knives and guns. If he is asked to recite poems correctly, he may not even be able to chew out a single word. So, there is no comparison between the son of the Wu family and the son of the Wen family. of."

Mr. Ming Yan came back from the school grounds, rode his horse and walked on the street, and happened to pass under the window of the private room of the tea house.

The bright sunlight scorched the long street, as if scorching everything around it.There were very few pedestrians under the sun, and the shops on both sides seemed quieter than usual.

Originally, Ming Yanjun had no intention of staying on the street.

But when she passed under the window, she vaguely heard the laughter of the ladies, vaguely mixed with the word "Qiu Ke", leaping out of the window, which happened to reach her ears.

She reined in the horse, the horse stopped, and took a few steps to the place under the eaves window.

The oblique sunlight can reach half of her body, so she is half in the sun and half in the shade.

No one knew how long she had been there.

The lady said again: "Xiuxiu, you've made your fiancé too worthless. You said that if he looks ugly and is another martial artist, you will marry him?"

Yin Xiuxiu said: "He doesn't look ugly, but if he is not what I said, I would belittle him. Whenever I think of Wu Fu now, I will first smell his sweat, not to mention how disgusting. In the future I married him, and if he did the same, I wouldn't even let him in."

After the ladies laughed, they asked: "Then tell me what you like about him. Apart from being not ugly and not having a good family background, he will coax you, what else is there for you to marry?"

Yin Xiuxiu fiddled with the teacup with her slender fingers, Shi Shiran said: "I heard that he wants to go to the border to guard the border after he gets married. While he is on the border, I still live my own life in Beijing. What is the difference between getting married and not getting married? When he returns from the frontier, he will be promoted, if he becomes a general, I will be the general's wife; if he dies on the border before finishing the defense, and he will be crowned by the emperor, I will also be the general's wife."

Under the window, Mr. Ming Yan turned over and got off his horse expressionlessly, tied the reins to the pillar next to him, then turned and walked towards the gate of the teahouse.

There was still a faint voice beside the window: "If he is really dead, is it possible that you plan to be a widow for him for the rest of his life?"

"How is it possible? Will you be a widow for the rest of your life for someone you only met a few times? When the time is right in the future, you will remarry."

When Ming Yanjun stepped into the gate of the teahouse, the waiter put a handkerchief on his shoulder, and hurriedly came over to say hello, "What kind of tea do you want, sir?"

Ming Yanjun didn't say what kind of tea she wanted to drink, but only threw a piece of silver to the man, and said simply and clearly: "Watch my horse."

The man stretched his neck and looked out, and saw that there was indeed a horse tied up outside.When he turned around again, he saw that Mr. Ming Yan had already walked up the stairs and went to the second floor.

Ming Yanjun went up to the second floor, there were not many tea customers on the second floor, but there were several plainclothes guards guarding the door of the elegant room.

Ming Yanjun walked straight to the door of the private room.

Seeing this, the guard stopped her when she was two zhang away from the door: "The ones who come come stop, they want to drink tea and go elsewhere."
