Chapter 95 Getting Ready
Regarding Ji Yu's marriage, Concubine De naturally has ideas.She had always hoped that Ji Yu would marry Qiao Yun before, but things backfired.And now that Ji Yu has reached the age of marriage, the emperor will definitely marry him in this year's draft.It's just that Concubine De is worried, if Ji Yuzhen is allowed to marry a famous lady, it will be a great help to him.

Her little Jiuben was younger than him in age, and Lao Qi now looked mature and stable. Although he was a bit cold-tempered, he handled things safely. Since he took the errand, he has been praised by the emperor several times.But Xiao Jiu is still like a child, he knows how to have fun all day long.

"Mother Concubine, why did you suddenly ask about this matter?" Ji Ting thought about it a bit, he saw that Seventh Brother would not take the initiative to talk about this matter with Mu Concubine.

Concubine De didn't hide it, she said directly: "It was the Eldest Princess who came here today and told me about it, so I found out about it. You guys are really serious, you just went out for an outing, how did you get involved in this matter?"

"I didn't expect the eldest princess to come to you to complain. The two brothers of the Wu family beat people with slingshots. If Brother Seven and I hadn't arrived in time, Ji Zerui would have been beaten by them," Ji Ting knew clearly. I remember what happened that day, so I don't have any good feelings for the brothers of the Wu family.

So when I heard Concubine De talk about the Eldest Princess, I thought that this aunt came to complain.

"What are you talking about, the eldest princess is not complaining, it's just her own family, it's just a misunderstanding, her old man came here just to make peace with me," Concubine De said with a look of fury when her son mentioned it , immediately glared at him.

Only then did Ji Ting realize that he had misunderstood, so he quickly laughed.

Fortunately, Concubine De didn't want to talk too much about him, she just said: "In the final analysis, those two children of the Wu family were just being naughty, let them come to your elder brother's house to admit their mistakes, and this matter will be over. It’s such a small matter, let’s be careful.”

Ji Ting didn't think much about it, he felt that his eldest brother didn't really take this matter to heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been silent for the past few days.After all, Brother Seven had already removed the arm of that little guy from the Wu family that day, even if he had given Ji Zerui a sigh of relief, so he didn't pursue it to the end.

"It's not necessary. I don't think the eldest brother has any intention of pursuing it. It's just that the two boys of the Wu family should be strictly controlled. Fortunately, the seventh brother stopped it in time this time. Otherwise, they really hurt Ji Zerui, and the eldest brother would not go crazy. Ah," Ji Ting pouted, not polite at all.

Concubine De saw that he was speaking childishly, so she also secretly sighed in her heart.

Since Concubine De has accepted the order of the Eldest Princess, she naturally helps to set up the bridge.The eldest prince's mother and concubine is the Rong Concubine of the Changqing Palace. Although she is out of favor for a long time now, she is the one who gave birth to the eldest son for the emperor, so she has some dignity in the harem.She had heard her daughter-in-law mention about the outing before, and she was still annoyed at the princess's inability to discipline the juniors, letting these children run amok outside, which almost hurt her good grandson.

But who knew that the Eldest Princess actually invited Concubine De to intercede, Concubine Rong naturally felt even more uncomfortable.

It's just that the Duke of England personally led his two nephews to the Prince Qin's Mansion to make amends. Now that the Duke of England's government has reached such a level, the King of Qin naturally has to give Princess Wuyi this face.So this matter is over.

Although this was just a small episode, it was like a pebble thrown into a lake, setting off waves one after another.

First, Duke Wei's mansion came here. Originally, the old lady wanted to invite someone to come to Nie's house to propose marriage, but she was delayed because of the draft.After all, Nie Qingsang's age this year happened to be within the scope of the draft, so even if he wanted to propose a marriage, he had to wait after the draft, or simply go to the emperor to ask for a finger marriage. This way, it would be both formal and dignified.

It's just that she suddenly met the two young masters of the Wu family on the Shangsi Festival. Although they had nothing to do with the Shen family, the old lady still felt a little lumpy in her heart.After all, the Shen family wanted to look after the eldest son's marriage, and the girl they were looking for was not good looking, but she had to be of extraordinary character.After all, she will be Mrs. Wei Guogong in the future. If her character is not good, she will be another Lin family.The old lady has already suffered from a daughter-in-law once, so when looking for a grand-daughter-in-law, she was really cautious and cautious.

Although the character of the two young masters of the Wu family has nothing to do with Nie Qingsang, Nie Qingsang heard that he grew up under the Eldest Princess' knees since childhood.If the girl's family is also spoiled by the Eldest Princess, then it will be a disaster if she marries in.

So even if the old lady had already taken a good look at it before, she couldn't help but hesitate at this meeting.

Of course, this was Shen Ruhui's marriage after all, so she discussed it with Shen Lingcheng.Shen Lingcheng laughed when he heard the old lady's concerns, and said: "Mother, you are really worrying. After all, she is a girl from the Nie family, not a girl from the Wu family. Besides, I also have friendship with her father. It is also a well-known farming and studying family in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the eldest princess would not have taken a fancy to brother Nie and married him the jewel in her palm."

The old lady really meant that if she cared, she would be chaotic, and these days, for some reason, she was actually a little chaotic.In addition, the backyard was not peaceful all the time, and Lin's health was not very good, so she called a doctor several times, and Shen Jin cried for countless times, telling her mother to move out of the yard.

In fact, in the past few years, both the old lady and Shen Lingcheng have been lenient to the Lin family. She wanted to harm Shen Changle back then, and she dared to bring such a vicious thing to her home.When the incident happened, the old lady wished she could kill her. If it wasn't for Shen Jin, she might not even keep Mrs. Lin at home.

It's just that time passed slowly, and this hatred was not as strong as before. Except for Shen Jin, everyone in the mansion ignored it, as long as there was no such person as Lin.

So this will be a grandson's daughter-in-law. The old lady wished she could have eight eyes and only see her future grandson-in-law clearly.But Shen Lingcheng was right. Even if Nie Qingsang is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, but her surname is Nie, and she comes from such a family, so her character and rules will naturally not be bad.Besides, the old lady has inspected it several times before, if she is not at ease, then there is no one to be at ease.

"But Miss Nie is also going to participate in the draft. If she is favored by some empress, she will give her a marriage to the prince," said the old lady because she was also worried that someone would cut off her beard.

Shen Lingcheng immediately comforted: "Mother, you just need to rest assured, I have discussed everything with Brother Nie. Later, he will ask his wife to go to the eldest princess to beg once, and ask the eldest princess to come forward in person, and ask the emperor to personally give advice. marriage."

"Since you have thought it through carefully, let the Eldest Princess make the decision earlier," the old lady nodded.

On the other hand, Shen Lingcheng glanced at the old lady, and said with a smile: "Fen'er has reached his age, and my son feels ashamed, so he can only have the cheek to ask his mother to make decisions."

The old lady was very emotional, she didn't know why, she suddenly sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Ruhui and Rufan are both old enough to marry a wife, but your third brother doesn't even have a child."

When Shen Lingcheng heard the old lady bring up this topic, he also had a serious expression on his face.It's just that he thought of a solution before, but the third brother was unwilling at that time.Now that he is not young, it is time to think about this issue.

"Mother, I think it's better for the third younger brother to choose a child of a moderate age in the side branch to adopt, so that it can be regarded as an inheritance of incense behind him," Shen Lingcheng suggested.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the old lady did not immediately refute, but instead looked thoughtful.In fact, after so many years, Sanfang's begging for a child has gone crazy, and it is still useless.So the old lady had thought of this method a long time ago, but seeing that the third wife was always eager to have a child, the old lady couldn't discourage her enthusiasm.It's just that it's been useless for so many years, and it's time to see the reality clearly.

"Take an opportunity to talk to the third child, this matter is always procrastinating, and it's not a problem," the old lady nodded.

After the Shen family and the Nie family had a tacit understanding, Mrs. Nie immediately took her daughter back to the Princess Mansion.The Princess Mansion is just opposite to the British Duke's Mansion, but now the British Duke is the eldest son of the Eldest Princess, so the Changfang's family lives in the British Duke's Mansion, but the third bedroom lives in the Princess Mansion with the Eldest Princess.

So the eldest princess has always liked the youngest son's family more than the eldest son.

When the mother and daughter entered the courtyard, there was already a servant girl waiting at the gate to lead them into the house.At this time, Mrs. Yingying happened to be there too, so after Mrs. Nie came in, she immediately greeted her mother and sister-in-law, and Nie Qingsang also followed her to see her grandmother and aunt.

The Eldest Princess was naturally happy to see her daughter and granddaughter, so she asked someone to serve them refreshments, and then asked: "You guys just happened to be here, and lunch is here."

"It's been a while since I had dinner at home, I miss it very much," Mrs. Nie was the eldest daughter of the eldest princess, she was already favored, and she married a capable wife, so life has been going smoothly.

Because there was a sister-in-law here, it was difficult for her to directly talk about Nie Qingsang's marriage, so she could only talk with her mother and sister-in-law.The British princess also came to see Wu Rong's child, and happened to meet Madam Nie coming back, so she also had dinner with the princess mansion, and did not go back until the afternoon.

It's just that Nie Qingsang is not easy to listen to what she wants to talk about, so she smiled and said: "Qingsang, didn't you always talk about Sister Ning at home before, so you go with your aunt and find Sister Ning, let's talk."

Nie Qingsang knew that his mother was going to send him away, so he immediately agreed with a smile, and left with the British princess.

"Tell me, what are you begging me for when you come back?" Seeing that her daughter-in-law had left, the Eldest Princess leaned crookedly on the cushion, her whole body relaxed.

Madam Nie immediately laughed when she heard this, and hurriedly sat down closer to the ground.She said: "As expected of a mother, what my daughter thinks in her heart can't escape your eyes."

The eldest princess smiled, waiting for her to continue.So Mrs. Nie said: "Qingsang's child has also reached her age, and I have been showing her her marriage before. I have taken a fancy to a family, but now it happens to be in the draft, so I want to ask my mother to come to the emperor to invite her." A decree, bestow marriage."

Although she knew that she had something to do, the eldest princess did not expect that this was the matter.She frowned and asked, "You didn't even say which family, but you just asked me to ask the emperor to make an order?"

"Mother," Mrs. Nie tugged on the sleeves of the Eldest Princess. Although she is already a few dozen years old, she is still a daughter in front of her mother.So she said again: "He is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei's mansion, you must have heard of it, this Mr. Shen is a serious Jinshi, and now he is working in the Imperial Academy, but he is a first-class noble. "

Speaking of this future son-in-law, Mrs. Nie is naturally 100 million satisfied.If there was any dissatisfaction before, after seeing what happened to Shen Ruhui, it has disappeared.Shen Ruhui originally looked like Zhilan Yushu, and he was even more mature and stable when he said it. In addition, he was capable. Such a son-in-law would be hard to find, not to mention one in a million, anyway with a lantern.

It's just that the eldest princess frowned when she heard the words Duke of Wei's Mansion.It was embarrassing to say that the girl Wu Rong beat up before was not the third girl in Duke Wei's mansion.

This is really a narrow road for enemies.

Seeing Mrs. Nie's happy face, she thought about it and said it again.

After Madam Nie heard this, her expression froze immediately, and all the joy that was originally on her face faded away.She also heard about her nephew's arm injury before, but what she heard was that a child injured his arm while playing mischievously, so she sent someone to bring supplements, but she didn't take it to heart.

It's just that she didn't expect there to be such twists and turns, so she couldn't help but said: "Brother Shan and Brother Rong are exactly the same, they don't know the depth."

"Okay, both of them have learned a lesson, so you don't need to say anything more. I see that the Shen family has come to an end. Since you can still ask me, you must not have figured it out. What's more, the surname of Rong'er Wu, Qingsang's surname is Nie, even if they are cousins, they will not blame Qingsang for Brother Rong's misfortune." The eldest princess said.

Mrs. Nie was naturally relieved when she heard her say this, but she still said: "It's not that my daughter is talking too much, it's just that Shan'er and Rong'er are too naughty, this time I also suffered a lot, I think the third brother should It's good to restrain the two of them, so as not to cause even bigger disasters in the future."

The Eldest Princess waved her hand, obviously she didn't take it very seriously, if she really cared about it, she wouldn't let those two children run amok.It's just that Mrs. Nie is only a married woman, so she can't talk too much about this matter.

But the eldest princess agreed to the marriage offer.

In mid-March, the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to the homes of the girls who were going to participate in the draft.Shen Hui was exempted from registration because she was already married.But that's it, the Shen family still has three girls ready to be elected.

The old lady didn't think that anyone in her family could be selected. Although Shen Changle had enough status, she was not old enough, after all, she was only 14 years old.And this time the youngest seventh prince is gone, since the emperor wants to marry the prince, he wants them to get married as soon as possible.As for the other Shen Lan and Shen Yue, Shen Lan's status is too low, and Shen Yue is even younger, she just happens to be stuck at the age of 13, so it's just a formality.

So for this draft, the old lady is more concerned about Nie Qingsang.

It was this kind of indifference that made her dumbfounded for the last time.
