In the yamen, Zhou Shuren didn't see his daughter-in-law in the main courtyard when he returned to the mansion. When he asked, he found out that the daughter-in-law valued his grandson in Mingyun's courtyard. After he changed his clothes and read two articles, his daughter-in-law came back.
Zhulan entered the door with a smile on her face, "Zhixuan, this child is very energetic, as if he knew me, he shouted when he saw me."
Zhou Shuren, "He's a child who hasn't given birth, how could he know people? It's all your psychological effect."
"Can't you make me happy?"
"Yes, I just have good news to tell you, the news you care about most."
Zhulan asked anxiously, "But there is news about the twins?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, I not only have their news, but also the safety letter they wrote back."
"Where is the letter?"
"I asked Shen Xing to give Jiang Sheng the letter from the twins to their parents."
Zhulan Amitabha said, "It's good to be safe. Now that there is news, everyone can feel at ease."
Zhou Shuren put down the book and stared at his daughter-in-law's clasped hands, "I find that you are more and more fond of reciting Amitabha now."
"When I get older, I get used to saying the last sentence, sustenance, sustenance in my heart."
Zhou Shuren took his daughter-in-law and sat down, "The emperor didn't explain it to me, only told me that the twins are safe now, but he also hinted to me that they won't be able to come back in a year or two."
"These two miserable children, when they come back, they will be treated well."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Well, I've already figured out how to deal with them."
"How to clean up?"
"Let them be slapped with the article upside down, and one wrong word is hit."
Zhulan, "...Okay."
Should she worry about how many slaps the twins will get?
The next day, the female official in the palace came to the mansion, "Madam, there are only the princess and the princess in the palace, the empress dowager is too cold, so I chose a few young ladies to live in the palace for a few days, one young lady from each family will be there tomorrow. The female official is here to pick up Miss Zhou."
Zhu Lan, "Well, I will wait for the female official to arrive tomorrow."
The female officer had to go to another house to inform her, so she left after a while.
Zhulan called a few daughters-in-law and explained the female official's intention, "What do you think?"
There was no daughter in the big room, and Mrs. Li did not express her opinion. Instead, she looked at the second and fourth siblings.
Zhao Shi didn't want her daughter to enter the palace, her daughter knew it herself, and thought about it, "I'll listen to my mother."
Su Xuan became more straightforward, "Mother, Yuwen is too lazy, she is not suitable for entering the palace."
Zhulan already understood the meaning of the two daughters-in-law, and she also felt that Yudie and Yuwen were not suitable for entering the palace. These two granddaughters are too personal. Where is the palace, but she is a mother-in-law, and she needs a bowl of water. Ping, so I will ask.
Zhu Lan, "Yuyi's temperament is the most suitable, but Yuyi is approaching the age of engagement, Yuyi is not suitable, Yujiao is the same age as Linxi and plays well, the advantage is that she is young, if there is any problem, you can take the age Speaking of things, Yujiao is a shrewd and shrewd child, so I chose Yujiao to enter the palace for a few days."
She still has some thoughts in her heart. The empress dowager does not choose sooner rather than later. Why did she suddenly choose a girl to live in the palace? What is the thinking behind this? Anyway, the girls of the Zhou family are safe. It is wise for the Zhou family not to marry the royal family again, but they should also be careful not to be used by others.
Li Shi said, "Mother's analysis is that Yujiao is indeed the most suitable."
Zhao shi answered, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow, what do I need to bring to Yujiao?"
Su Xuan, "Bring more money, there are a lot of little devils in the palace, and the money is generous and no one dares to look down on it."
Zhulan called Qingxue and asked Qingxue to exchange for some broken silver. The family is full of large silver ingots, and it is inconvenient to put them in a purse.
Then Zhulan took out the golden melon seeds and silver peanuts left over from the Chinese New Year and put them in two small boxes.
Because of the absence of Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Li, the eldest aunt, prepared some silver notes, Mrs. Zhao prepared some exquisite jewelry and some exquisite purses, etc. Su Xuan prepared precious jewelry for them. It will make people look down on it.
Zhulan also prepared other things. People rely on clothes and horses and saddles. In the palace, there is no shortage of palace servants who look down on people, and there are too many people who look at clothes and jewelry.
She also sent someone to inquire about other girls who entered the palace, girls from Ninghou's house, girls from the Wen family, etc. There were quite a few people entering the palace, as many as eight.
In Xi County, King Qi didn't intend to set off, and said to the prince, "This trip is mainly for travel, and the itinerary is not in a hurry. Your Royal Highness can take a look around."
The prince rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't believe that Uncle Huang's reason for staying in Xixian was so simple. He looked out the window. Xixian was a rich county town. The streets are very lively.
This trip didn't make much fanfare, and it was disguised as a caravan. Now there are many caravans in the country, and they are not very conspicuous.
The prince stood up, "The solitary, just look around."
King Qi narrowed his eyes, the prince was really at ease with him, he was really not afraid that he would have other thoughts, and then he drank the wine in the glass, he came out to travel with the prince, the entire Prince Qi's mansion was in the capital, if he really dared to do anything , without the emperor's hands, the father emperor can destroy him.
The prince was about to go out. This time, the prince who followed him kept following the prince's movements. Ming Rui flipped through the book, not wanting to compete and go out.
Don't think that there are many struggles between women, this trip Mingrui has learned a lot, and it's wonderful to step on each other.
Mingrui was reading a book when the prince's personal bodyguard knocked on the door, "Ming Rui, my son has a request."
Ming Rui, "..."
He was really afraid of what would happen, but he was still able to hold on to it. A few days after he left Beijing, the prince saw him for the first time.
When Mingrui arrived, there were already two sons standing beside the prince. One was from the Wen family and the other was from the Shangguan family. They were both related to the prince The Wen family was the mother family, and the Shangguan family was The future wife and family, plus he, who is related to the royal family, is very good, and the remaining sons have no chance to compete.
Ming Rui didn't show the courtesy, so in order to hide his identity outside, the courtesy was waived.
The prince smiled, "Cousin, we'll be waiting for you."
Mingrui was startled, well, considering his identity, he was indeed his cousin, and the corner of his mouth moved, "I'm late."
Cousin, he really can't speak.
The corner of Wen Xu's mouth twitched invisibly. He was the prince's serious cousin. The prince was not so enthusiastic when he called his cousin just now, and he looked at Zhou Mingrui with a lot of depth.
Shangguan Liu glanced at Second Young Master Wen, the eldest son of the second room of the Wen family, his father told him to try not to have more contact with the Wen family, looking at the prince's attitude, he really couldn't have more contact.
The Crown Prince didn't seem to see a few young masters looking at him, so he opened the fan in his hand, "The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk."
Ming Rui was the youngest, and Wen Xu followed up with the Crown Prince first. Shangguan Liu did not rush to leave, but went along with Ming Rui.
Shangguan Liu, "Young Master Zhou has been in the carriage. I wanted to visit several times and never had the chance. Today, I will officially introduce myself. I am Shangguan Liu, who ranks third in the family. The two older brothers above have already entered the court as officials."
He didn't want to come, there was no way, the two older brothers above became officials in the court, and it was his turn.
Ming Rui, "Hello, I'm also the third in my family. One of my two older brothers became an official in the court, and the other has been working alone."
