In the northwest corner of Jiangling City, the lights in the back house of the Prince-Master's Mansion swayed, and the night was quiet.

At that time, Wang Pin (biàn), the Minister of Personnel, was chatting with a beautiful woman in the palace dress.

This beautiful woman looks about thirty years old, with her white-brown dresses swaying on the ground, her waist is like a willow, her hair is like a cloud, her golden steps shake the green beads, her jade scratches her head and pulls the green green, her beauty is clear and elegant, gentle and light, and her face is swaying.

The beautiful woman is the granddaughter of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, the daughter of Prince Zhaoming Xiao Tong, the sister of Xiao Feng, the eldest princess of Luling, Xiao Miaoying, and the true royal relative.

The son-in-law Wang Pinze was born in the Wang family of Langya. During the Liang Dynasty, he served as secretary, prince's sheriff, and Luling's inner-shistor. Now he is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and is sure to win Zhenglong.

The couple was a combination of the top high-ranking families in the Southern Dynasty and the royal family. They were a matchmaker. After getting married, they respected each other and had a pair of children. Their son Wang Guan (guàn) inherited the talent of Wang and Xiao families in their study and were quite literary.

Because the eldest princess Xiao Miaoying was also well-read, Wang Pin often discussed political affairs with her, and Xiao Miaoying often had unique insights. However, at this time, the couple's topic was not for the government, but for their daughter Wang Huan.

Wang Pin is the brother-in-law of the current emperor and a powerful figure in charge of the official hat. His current officials and subordinates were very flattering to him. In addition to various filial piety during festivals, some people also put their ideas on his children.

Wang Pin is a powerful minister with status and a little noble. If it were not for official business, no one would be seen, and he would refuse to accept all gifts. Although he was very disgusted with those who came to propose marriage, his children had grown up and his lifelong affairs could not help but consider them.

Among the people who came to propose marriage, Wang Pin was the best, Zuo Min Shangshu and Taichang Qing Cai Daye. They were not only colleagues in the court, but also friends in private, with deep friendship.

Speaking of Cai Daye, he was also a person who held authority in the dynasty. His brother Cai Dabao was even more amazing. Cai Dabao studied diligently since childhood and read a lot of books. At that time, Xiao Xu Mian, the king of Yueyang of Southern Liang, was recommended by the Secretary of the Secretariat, and served as the attendant of the King of Yueyang, the secretary of the Secretariat, and Cao Lang. From then on, he followed Xiao Xu Mian, and successively went to Kuaiji to defend the Western Wei Dynasty, and conquered Jiangling.

In the third year of Chengsheng, after Emperor Yuan of Liang was killed, Xiao Xu officially ascended the throne and established the Western Liang Dynasty, with the reign of Dading.

Cai Dabao served as the Minister of State, the Minister of State, the Governor of Jingzhou, the Young Tutor of the Crown Prince, and the Marquis of Anfeng County. He was granted the title of Marquis of Anfeng County, with a fief of 1,000 households. He was the left and right humerals of the current saint Xiao Feng, along with the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu and the Marquis of Xinkang County.

Back then, the wives of Wang and Cai family were pregnant at the same time. Wang Pin and Cai Daye talked about this at the banquet. If the two wives gave birth to two men, they would become brothers. If they were two women, they would become sisters, and one man and one woman would become husband and wife.

Logically speaking, the Wang and Cai families are already in the same family, and it would be great if they become children and in-laws again.

This afternoon, Cai Daye and his second son Cai Yuncheng came to the Prince Consort's Mansion again and mentioned the proposal of marriage in a roundabout way.

In the past, every time I came to the palace, I could see Wang Pin's daughter Wang Huan. Today, this woman has never appeared. After asking, I found out that Wang Huan was not in the palace. Wang Pin stammered and refused to say what Wang Huan was going.

Cai Daye has two legitimate sons, and his eldest son Cai Yungong was appointed as the crown prince. He was knowledgeable and calm in his work.

However, this youngest son Cai Yuncheng is far inferior to the eldest brother. He is idle all day long and seeks flowers and willows. He is notorious, which really makes him think about it. Although Cai Yuncheng has several concubines, he has not married his wife.

Like most parents, Cai Daye prefers his younger son a little more from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Huan was grown up since he was a child. If he could marry her into the Cai family and discipline Cai Yuncheng, perhaps this incompetent son could reform himself.

He sought the consent of his wife early on this matter, and also knew that his youngest son had always admired Wang Huan. Now that his son is about to be in his prime, he can really consider the proposal.

Cai Daye also thought about his son's marriage.

Wang Pin is the Wang family of Langya and the brother-in-law of the current emperor. Although Wang Pin is usually low-key, Cai Daye knows that the Wang family has deep roots and is much higher than the power of the Cai family in Jiyang. If he really can reach this family, no one can shake the status of the Cai court. Moreover, with the fierce temperament of the eldest lady of the Wang family, he is afraid that he will not be able to control his stupid son?

Cai Daye knew that his second son was not good at character, but his parents had a good appearance, and he could not be said to be like Song Yu and Pan An Yushu, but his eyes were beautiful and handsome, and naturally he had no exaggeration. If he didn't know his background, he would inevitably treat him as a young talent.

He has mentioned the proposal of marriage more than once in the past two years, but Wang Pin always makes a vague statement.

For this reason, Cai Daye really breathed a sigh of relief. If Cai Yuncheng was not the one who was defeated, he would have shown Wang Pin's face long ago, and now he could only endure it.

Whenever Cai Daye comes to the Prince Consort's Mansion, he will bring Cai Yuncheng with him. Cai Yuncheng also did his best to show his strength in front of Wang Pin, looking polite and humble.

Wang Pin has long heard of the reputation of this junior, and has not been blinded by appearances. However, in terms of etiquette, the Cai family and his son could not see any clues.

In fact, Wang Pin felt very sorry.

If it comes to family background and personal friendship, the Cai family is the only candidate who can get married, but Cai Yun is really too unsatisfied. He is definitely not a good man who can be entrusted to his lifelong love.

The Wang family is a prominent family, and the marriage of children is even more important. However, Wang Pin is also an enlightened person. He cannot do anything to ruin his daughter's lifelong happiness for the sake of the family's interests.

In addition to Wang Pin's own ideas, there is another important reason, which makes Wang Pin very cautious about his daughter's marriage.

The emperor favored Wang Huan, his niece very much. Except for the lack of formality, Wang Huan's food, clothing and supplies were compared with the princess. The marriage of his daughter not only depends on his father's intention, but he must have to nod.

From this point of view alone, Cai Daye's incompetent son has lost the qualification to propose marriage. It is just that Wang Pin is inconvenient to say that.

Cai Daye and his son were very disappointed when they left. Before leaving, they repeatedly proposed to invite Wang Pin's family to the Cai Mansion for a banquet after Qingming Festival. In fact, it was just to create a chance for a pair of children to meet.

Wang Pin couldn't refuse Cai Daye's kind invitation, so he had to agree vaguely.

Cai Daye was overjoyed when he heard this. After finalizing the time again, he took his son to say goodbye, left the palace, and made up his mind to restrain his son during this period, so don’t let him do anything ridiculous.

Wang Pin and his wife regarded their daughter as the pearl in their eyes. As their daughter gradually grew older, there were more and more talks about her marriage between the couple.

At this time, Wang Pin talked to his wife about the scene when Cai Daye came. Xiao Miaoying smiled faintly and said, "To be honest, all these are blamed on the husband. He insisted on making a promise with Lord Cai, but now he has caused a problem for himself."

Wang Pin has always respected Xiao Miaoying very much. He has never blushed after getting married for many years. At this time, he heard his wife's words and said: "Princess, don't say it again. For your husband, you never thought that his second son was so incompetent. If you knew, you would definitely not say that."

Xiao Miaoying covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, husband, I'm just talking casually. Not to mention husband, I'm afraid that Lord Cai, the father-in-law, doesn't know that Yuncheng is so unbearable. To put it, it's really strange. Yuncheng and Yungong were both born to the same mother, but the gap is so big, which is really puzzling."

Wang Pin sighed and said, "I am a minister in the same court and have a strong personal relationship. I really can't bear to hurt his heart. I want to explain this to him several times, but I still can't say it later."

Xiao Miaoying said: "You and I have been married for many years, and my husband is very affectionate and kind, so why don't I understand this? You don't have to worry about this. Next month, I will go to the Cai family to have a banquet. I should beat the side drum to Mrs. Cai. She is a smart person. She said it early, so that the Cai family would break this thought early."

Wang Pin was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he was a powerful minister in the son-in-law, it was better for his wife to come forward in matters of his children. His wife was not only Wang Huan’s mother, but also the princess of the current dynasty, representing the royal family to a certain extent. So he crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, the princess, for the princess, I will let go of my heart for my husband."

Xiao Miaoying felt a charm as her eyes circulated, and she said angrily: "You and I have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, why are they still so heretics?"

Wang Pin coughed a few times: "This is not a heretic, but a respect for the princess from the bottom of her heart."

Xiao Miaoying glanced at him with a squinted look, her pink cheeks were flushed, but she was three points shy and seven points joyful. Since she married Wang Pin, the couple’s love is really enviable. Now, her children have grown up, and her son has nothing to say, but this daughter... As she thought about it, she sighed softly.

"Why did the princess sigh?" Wang Pin asked with concern.

"It's not for your precious daughter!" Xiao Miaoying frowned slightly, "The other person's daughter never leaves the door, she works hard in the mansion, learns some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and will marry someone to take care of her husband and children in the future. Your daughter is so good, but she likes to dance guns and sticks, fight and kill. Who will marry such a wild girl in the future?

They are all used to being a father, you always say that she is still young, still young, and she is not strictly controlled. Now she has grown up and is wild, and she can't control her even if she wants to!"

Wang Pin twisted his beard with his hands and smiled and said, "Mrs. I'm too worried. But it's good for a girl to learn something about the boudoir. When she comes back this time, I'll talk to her. Although my daughter is not good at being a girl, she can be both talented and beautiful. In the future, she will definitely find a young hero to match her."

Xiao Miaoying blamed her husband for being indulgent about her daughter, and gave him a blank look and said angrily: "You men are so kind. She is used to being wild outside and has gained fame. I am afraid that the kings, princes, generals and ministers of Jiangling do not know the great reputation of your daughter.

It would be fine if you were a father, but the emperor brother of my palace treated his niece as a treasure and even allowed her to be a captain in the yamen.

Tell me, a woman who is not married every day patrolling the streets and robbing thieves. Is this what a woman in a boudoir should do? It would be fine if she shows up in public. What if she meets a big thief one day, what should she do?"

As I was talking, my eyes turned red and tears lingered.

Wang Pin stood up quickly, walked behind his wife, gently massaged her shoulders, and said, "Princess calms down, calms down, and when my daughter comes back, I will take her to the Saint immediately and ask Your Majesty to take back his life."

Xiao Miaoying took out a piece of golden thread and picked flower brocade scrubs and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I really don't know who this girl is following?"

Wang laughed and said, "It's not my Wang family anyway!"

Xiao Miaoying glared at her husband with a pair of wonderful eyes and said angrily: "I'm old, I don't have any real appearance!"
