The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "What does the Emperor hope the Ai family will do?"

"There is a royal village outside the city. I plan to give it to the girl. In addition, you are rewarding something else and giving it to you. In this victory in the Northwest War, the girl has paid a lot of money to help his uncle. Although she is helping her relatives, the last benefit is the court.

This time I spent almost all the money from the Song family. I have spent all the money I have earned in the past few years. I am happy to give this face, what do you think?"

The emperor sat there discussing matters with the empress dowager.

"It is also worthy of such a loyal minister to give face. Since Ai's family rewards some things for girls, a thousand taels of gold. If you want to come, you can send Madam Li to you."

"Thank you for your hard work on your son's business. The moldy Chen Mi appeared when transporting grain in the northwest. This was an unethical task that the Geng family had done over the years. No one could protect his family this time. I want to give an explanation to the soldiers who died in the northwest, otherwise it would not be enough to vent public grievances."

The emperor was extremely disappointed with the Geng family.

"The emperor no longer needs to pity the Geng family. The bubbles on his feet are made by himself, and he cannot blame others. But since the queen married into the royal family, she has worked hard without any credit. She should not be implicated by the Geng family. Geng family should be given a better title."

In order to appease the emperor's heart, the empress dowager didn't have to care about so much about a title. Why can we fight for the people when they are dead?

"Yes, my son listens to my mother."

"Well, I heard that Cui Xiang wanted to retire from the officialdom?"

The Queen Mother turned her face and asked.

"Yes, Cui Xiang is not in love with power. He has long wanted to quit. In recent years, the older he gets, he is not energetic. His grandson has also become an official and wants to quit. I have repeatedly refused. Now the court still needs him."

The emperor was helpless. Cui Xiang actually wanted to retreat very early, but he was not allowed to do so and had to continue.

"At present, there is no successor in the court, so he cannot be allowed to retreat. Without such a loyal old minister, how can he be stable? How about Cui Hao?"

"I am very smart and hardworking. After getting the true teachings of Cui Xiang, I still need to be experienced even if I am a little young."

The emperor is also optimistic about Cui Hao.

"Well, that's good. The old prime minister has been working diligently all his life and is worthy of the royal family. If the children of the Cui family have to use the emperor, don't be stingy with the use of talents."

"Yes, I have the same intention, and I plan to hone Cui Hao."

"Yeah, very good."

The mother and son discussed some things before the emperor returned to the study to continue to comment on the memorials.

The newly opened Xianglou is better than before. After repeated discussions between Zilan and his uncles, the activities were very prosperous and everyone bought it.

The emperor spoke and said that Xianglou was exempted from paying three years of profits, which would be considered as compensation for the losses caused by the fire.

Although you don’t have to pay this money, you don’t make much money even if you make money. Because Gaixianglou adds new things such as institutions and scenery, it has spent a lot of money to settle the account.

Zilan didn't worry about this anymore. She lived in the farm for a few days, ran back to the old house to play for a few days, and went to the Yang family for a few days. She lived a leisurely life, and Shuhui and Xuan'er were so envious.

The emperor's decree was also delivered, and his father was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, the second rank, and he went higher than the next level. You should know that there is another second rank. This is the reward for the support of the entire Song family to the northwest.

The fourth and fifth uncles also got the opportunity to be promoted, and several men from the Song family who were in charge also went out to be released, and the location was good.

My brother went to Hanlin Academy to work for three years, and my uncle was promoted to the first level and was the second-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

Yu Han went to the fourth-rank official position of the Ministry of War and worked under his father-in-law. Although he was only promoted to one level and changed from a fourth-rank official to a fourth-rank official, he was in a real power department.

Yang Yu went to the Ministry of Personnel and Lord Yu accepted the work. This arrangement was very interesting.

My second uncle Yang Lin is coming back and is working in the Ministry of Works. The transfer order has been released.

Everyone’s arrangements are very good. The Yang family is currently worrying about Yang Yu’s marriage. There are many people who are in love with him and are still in the process of selecting specific questions.

According to my grandfather's opinion, I firmly say that the daughter of a large clan came in. Yang Yu was the eldest son and would be very important to inherit the Marquis's mansion in the future.

Grandpa secretly muttered to the old lady, "I have to choose a satisfactory granddaughter-in-law than Lan'er, so that the Marquis's mansion will be more stable in the future."

"Oh! Your requirements are too high. Since that's the case, why didn't Lan'er stay there?"

The old lady didn't understand what her husband meant.

"Do you think I've never been moved? The Song family didn't give it to me. The Song family planned to marry into the big clan to strengthen themselves. If they didn't plan to kiss them, what can I do?"

The old marquis explained helplessly.

The Song family relied on an outstanding daughter to marry into the prominent Cui family, and their overall strength suddenly increased. Because Zi Yan was also very outstanding, they gained some light and married into the family. The three families were tied together, and their strength should not be underestimated. They were no longer the Song family, which was run away from the run and had no place to stand at that time.

"Then who do you think of?"

"Li Family."

"Li family, you dare to marry brother Li."

Old Mrs. Yang shook her head and was unhappy.

"If it weren't for another time, people would be reluctant to marry a family like the Duke's Mansion. It was too close to the imperial power and could easily cause trouble.

It was at this time that the Li family was willing to condescend. Li Qing alone could not represent the strength and style of the entire Li family. After all, the Li family also had a left prime minister, and the Li family's girls were still remarkable."

The old marquis patiently persuaded his wife that the Li family had lost their reputation because of Li Qing's deeds, but the flaws did not cover up the merits. It was also wrong that they could not deny all the members of the Li family just because of a person.

Now, because of Li Qing, the Li family has a little bit of a family relationship.

The old marquis liked that the Li family was a prominent family and could bring in many good education. This was not something Yang Yu could say before, but he was unwilling to get along with the family of favorite ministers and could not get rid of it. This is a political concept and has nothing to do with anything else.

"It's obvious that the benefits are, who do you like?"

"The legitimate daughter who is born in the second family is also considered the eldest daughter of the legitimate daughter, and the eldest daughter of the eldest family has no legitimate daughter. But this legitimate daughter was taught by the old lady in the clan. I asked it out. You are taking a closer look, and you will make an appointment to come to the house to play. You can take a look."

"The eldest daughter of the Wang family is also quite good. The Wang family married to the Song family. There is another family, the Zhao family. However, they are not in the capital, they are from Shandong. His family is also well-educated and a prominent family in Shandong. However, they have limited help to Brother Yu, and they still need our help to return to the court."

The old marquis said all the candidates in his heart, and the old lady nodded.

"Do you want to ask Xu?"

"Miss Xu? No, I don't agree with more brides. There will be many problems and blood is prone to reflux. Besides, the Xu family has not been very outstanding in recent years and cannot meet the standards I want. This has nothing to do with whether the Xu family's daughter is good or not.

To put it bluntly, there are not many girls in the capital who can compete with my granddaughter, and there are not even the royal family."

The old marquis is very proud of this.

Old Mrs. Yang nodded convincedly, "This is very true. The little girls I know in the royal family cannot be compared with Lan'er. They are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but what's the use? They are not generous enough and the overall view is not enough."

"Yes, what you want is the overall view. My wife, you can teach others, but the overall view is not something that can be taught simply."
