Wen Family Has a Wife

"Mother, did you call us here in such a hurry, could it be that you are pregnant?" Zhuo Qianxun said incoherently as soon as he entered the door.

Dong's excited face suddenly froze, and he picked up the small things around him and greeted him directly, "Stinky boy, don't talk to me if the dog can't spit ivory. What crime did I do? You are making me angry!"

Zhuo Qianxun hid and shouted exaggeratedly, "Mother, you murdered your own son!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of the head. Zhuo Mingxuan said quietly like a ghost: "It's not that your mother wants to murder your own son, it's that your father didn't intend to let you go!"

Zhuo Qianxun's complexion changed drastically, and he hid behind Zhuo Qianyi in fright.

Zhuo Qianyu carried him out "gently", "What are you talking about! Sit down properly."

Zhuo Qianxun wanted to cry but couldn't hide, so he could only bite the bullet and lower his head, hoping that his mother would hurry up and talk about the business, otherwise he would really be murdered by his father's eyes.

Seeing his cowardice, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and muttered: "I don't know if the Xu family is blind, and they are willing to marry their daughter to you!"

"What?" Everyone looked at Dong Shi in surprise, and then their eyes fell on Zhuo Qianxun with a look of suspicion.

Zhuo Qianxun was innocent and pitiful, shaking his head frantically, "I don't know! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Mother, what's going on?" Zhuo Qianzhao looked directly at Dong, not bothering to talk to Zhuo Qianxun.

Mrs. Dong put away her joking thoughts and told about the matchmaker's visit, "I just don't understand. Now the whole capital is rumored to choose concubines. According to the conditions of the Xu family, if the official Xu Shangshu worships the second rank, if the daughter is sent Entering the palace, there is a high probability that you can be named a concubine or something, why are you marrying us right here?"

Zhuo Qianyi reminded at the right time: "Mother, Xu Shangshu is the Minister of the Household Department, he may know some inside information that others don't."

Dong and the others all looked surprised, "You mean that there is no such thing as choosing a concubine?"

Zhuo Qianyi shook his head, "It's not that there is no shadow, but that it's just chasing after the wind. I guess the emperor didn't mean it at all. I guess it was spread by someone with a heart. The purpose is to put pressure on the emperor and force him to submit. To be honest, if the former emperor said, This matter is likely to be possible, but it would be hard to say if it were us!"

Mrs. Dong is not a woman in a deep house who doesn't know anything. Hearing what Zhuo Qianyi said, she immediately understood, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said: "Whether the matter of choosing a concubine is involved or not, it has nothing to do with our family. Da, I mean to ask you, is this marriage acceptable?"

Zhuo Qianzhao pondered and said: "The Xu family made their fortune in the generation of Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is a well-known Confucian businessman in Shangzhou. In this generation, the Xu family has produced a lot of scholars, and there are probably seven or eight who have become officials. The highest official position is Xu Shangshu. Occupying a certain position in the imperial court, generally speaking, the Xu family is quite interesting."

Zhuo Qianyi also nodded, "The important thing is that the Xu family has not sent any girl into the palace, just like our family, but we still need to inquire carefully. If the head of the Xu family is eager for quick success, then this marriage will be nothing. If you fight steadily, you can get married."

Zhuo Mingxuan nodded slightly, and said quietly: "The current Patriarch of the Xu family is Xu Shangshu. I have also contacted him a few times. This person is indeed eager for quick success, but he is wise and smart. Jinquan is also cautious, and will not cause any big troubles.

Generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory. If there is no better candidate, the Xu family is also fine. "

"Hey, hey, you never asked me if I wanted to?" Zhuo Qianxun pointed at himself, his eyes widened with anger.

Dong rolled her eyes at him, and said with a sneer, "I want to respect what you mean, let you wander outside for so many years, what's the result? You didn't even hold back a fart, and you want me to respect your opinion, Dreaming!

Tell you, give you a month,

If Miss Xu's family is not satisfied, find me a girl who suits your heart within one month, and after one month, it's out of your hands! "

"Mom! You can't do this!" Zhuo Qianxun was so anxious that he almost jumped.

Mrs. Dong ignored him, turned around and said to Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Yang: "Mother knows that you have some knowledge, try to find out what kind of temperament this girl from the Xu family is. If there is no major problem, this matter will be settled. If it is not right , let’s figure it out slowly.”

Zhuo Qianxun dameng, "Mother, didn't you agree to give me a month? How can you turn your face and deny it!"

This time, Mrs. Dong didn't even spare her eyes, and said sarcastically, "I'll block you for a month so that you can't even bring back a decent girl!"

Zhuo Qianxun: "..." Was he despised by his own mother?

Two days before the palace banquet, ladies from all the famous families were preparing to enter the palace with their parents for the banquet, competing in front of the emperor and showing their faces, but they did not expect that the envoy from Lingnan arrived.

The mighty crowd stopped ten miles away from the capital, and Ming Shuo, who received the news, rushed into the palace. At this time, the morning court had not yet dispersed. Seeing his anxiety, Xiao Guang frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the emperor, the envoys sent by the Lingnan Emperor have arrived ten miles outside the city, please make a decision."

These words stirred up a thousand waves, everyone was stunned, and whispered together.

"Why don't we know when the Lingnan Emperor sent his envoys?"

"Could it be..."

All civil and military officials looked at Xiao Guang who was sitting on the dragon chair, but saw that his brows were furrowed, apparently without knowing it in advance.

Dai Yuyang came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, should we send someone out first?"

Xiao Guang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Then according to Aiqing, you will take someone out to greet you, and then ask the envoy what is the meaning of entering Beijing at this time? In addition... such a big matter, I will let you go out to meet him." It’s fine if you don’t know about it in the palace, but no one in the local area noticed it, so I’ll check it out afterward, and I’d like to see what kind of winebags and foodbags the court keeps!”

All civil and military officials were stunned, knowing that the emperor was really angry, Da Qi didn't dare to take a breath, some courtiers were still wondering if they should mention the palace banquet and the selection of concubines, so they didn't dare to speak now , all shrunk their heads, for fear of being called by the emperor.

Dai Yuyang hurried to the city gate with all the ministers of the cabinet, the Minister of Rites, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and some scholars from the Imperial Academy. When they arrived, the team of Lingnan envoys could already be seen from a distance.

Seeing this huge crowd of people, Dai Yuyang and the others were all sullen.

Cong Li angrily scolded: "There are so many people, such a big battle, from Lingnan to the capital, no one really notices, do those people really want their heads?"
