Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan and hurried back to Zhao's house. Princess Hongnong had been sitting and chatting with Wang for half an hour, while Fu Xuan stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the half-dried plum tree in a daze.
He couldn't get involved in the conversation in the room, so he might as well come and have some fun.
Wang and Princess Hongnong had a great chat. They had a detailed communication on the details of the wedding. Wang has money, people, and resources, because Zhao Hanzhang said that weddings should be frugal, so her main focus is a low-key luxury.
;
Princess Hongnong lacked everything now, but her knowledge was here, so she hit it off with Mr. Wang, and the more they talked, the more they agreed.
Princess Hongnong sighed in her heart, it had been so many years since she had said so many words in one day. Sure enough, men were far less attentive than women. She had nothing to say to her consort, and women still understood women;
Wang also sighed in her heart, the princess is worthy of being a princess, she has extensive knowledge, and she dares to speak up, unlike others who flatter her too much and talk too much, which is boring.
In the past, Wang was often isolated and ridiculed because of Ke Fu and Zhao Erlang. She had a little inferiority in her heart. As a result, after Zhao Hanzhang became powerful, everyone in the clan fawned over her and went from one extreme to the other.
To be honest, Wang enjoyed it very much at first.
After all, those who once ridiculed and scolded her, as well as those who ignored her, are now as diligent as bees around her.
But no matter how much she enjoyed it, she got tired of it after so many years.
She only has one son and one daughter, and this wedding is the first one she has hosted. She naturally wants to make it perfect, but when it comes to her sisters-in-law in Luoyang, they only flatter her;
If you talk to people like Zhao Song, they won't agree with her, they will just look down on her and look down on her, which is very annoying.
What she wants is a friend who can agree with her but also offer different opinions so that she can make progress.
Looking at the serious Princess Hongnong, Wang's eyes were starry, and she thought she had found it.
Sure enough, the wedding had to be discussed with the in-laws. Why had no one reminded her of this crucial point before?
Zhao Hanzhang: "My mother will definitely take the princess to discuss the wedding. Generally speaking, if two mothers have different aesthetics, it is easy to have disagreements. We have to go there quickly, otherwise it will be bad if they quarrel."
The two hurriedly stepped into the yard, and as soon as they crossed the threshold, they saw Fu Xuan standing under the plum tree with his head raised in a daze.
Zhao Hanzhang: It's over, it's over. Two people quarreled. Fu Xuan couldn't bear it and ran out to hide for a while?
Fu Xuan came to his senses when he heard the noise and smiled when he saw them, "Are you back?"
Fu Tinghan pulled Zhao Hanzhang forward to salute, and then the three of them entered the lobby together. Wang had moved to sit next to Princess Hongnong. There were more than a dozen boxes in front of them. When she saw Zhao Hanzhang, she immediately waved with bright eyes.
"Sanniang, come here quickly. The princess and I are choosing accessories for you on your wedding day."
Princess Hongnong looked at Zhao Hanzhang with a smile. This was the second time she looked at him carefully.
The atmosphere in the room was beyond Zhao Hanzhang's expectation. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stepped forward respectfully.
Fu Xuan saw it and immediately pulled Fu Tinghan out, "Let's go out and enjoy the plum trees again."
What is there to admire about plum trees?
But Fu Tinghan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and followed him out.
Zhao Hanzhang took off his cold-proof cloak and handed it to Tinghe. He turned to Zhao Yunxin who followed him and said, "Go and do your work. I'll call you if anything happens."
Zhao Yunxin agreed, then faced Wang and Princess Hongnong and bowed before retreating.
Princess Hongnong saw her wearing an official robe and asked, "Is this a female official?"
"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile, "he is my Zhongshusheren."
Princess Hongnong was in a daze. Although she had known that today was different from the past, she had often heard that there were many female officials in the court when she was in Shu. But when she actually saw it, she was still shocked, "How many female officials are there in the court now?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "The princess asked me this question. I really couldn't answer it for a while. I'm afraid I have to ask Tinghan and Ji Yuan to find out. In recent years, there have been female officials recruited in the talent recruitment examination. In addition, there are no female officials who are sent by the school and recommended.
Hundreds, maybe seventy or eighty people, right?"
Princess Hongnong was stunned, "So many?"
"Official positions vary from big to small, and most officials are only ninth-grade or low-ranking female officials. However, I believe that as long as they are willing to work hard, they will one day have a place in the court."
"Oh, I asked you to come here to try on jewelry. Why are you talking about government affairs again?" Wang interrupted them and asked Qing Gu to escort her over. "Let me try on the earrings first. The princess and I picked out the ones for you.
There are five pairs.”
Princess Hongnong came back to her senses and turned to look at the happy Wang. After an hour of lively chatting in the morning, she had already figured out Wang's character and temperament. She definitely couldn't bring up someone like Zhao Hanzhang, so...
She looked at Zhao Hanzhang, who was sitting cross-legged opposite her.
As soon as she sat down, Wang stretched out his hand and patted her twice, "Sit tight!"
Zhao Hanzhang obediently pushed himself up, changed his legs from cross-legged to kneeling, and sat obediently next to Wang.
Mrs. Wang took a pair of jade earrings and gestured at her ears, "Oh, your ear piercings are almost full. Tinghe, how long has it been since you put earrings on Sanniang?"
Listening to He's sweet apology, "I am guilty."
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "Auntie, I often go out on horseback, and occasionally go to the military camp for training. It is inconvenient to wear earrings, so I won't let her wear them."
Wang touched her earlobe and said, "I'll give it a try today. If it doesn't fit in, you have to put it on quickly. Even if you don't wear long earrings, short ones are fine. I'll have someone find them later."
I'll make it for you with a few pearls, and it will stick to your earlobe, so it won't be a burden."
Zhao Hanzhang always agreed first to what the adults said, and whether he would do it or not depended on his own mood and ideas. His main idea was to obey the rules, so he agreed obediently.
Princess Hongnong took one look at the effect and shook her head: "This jade one is not suitable, try this ruby one."
Zhao Hanzhang is bright and elegant, suitable for bright colors.
Wang took the earrings and fingered them in her ears, and heard Princess Hongnong ask: "Has the general been raised by Duke Zhao's side since he was a child?"
Wang said: "The princess can just call her Sanniang, but calling her General is too foreign." Then she smiled and said: "Her grandfather didn't have time to raise her, but when she was a child, she liked to go to her grandfather's study to read books.
, just likes to be by her grandfather’s side.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang also sighed, "This child has been eager to learn since she was a child. Her grandfather hired a civil and military teacher for Erlang. In the end, Erlang didn't learn much, but she learned a lot. I thought it was useless for her to learn these things at the time, but
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a life-saving skill in the end.”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at Mr. Wang and said, "How about it, it is still useful for girls to study and practice martial arts, right?"
"Useful, useful, very useful," Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Much more useful than your brother. By the way, Erlang, I haven't seen him in the past two days. Today is a small year. Isn't your Yamen Xiu Mu? He is
Where did you go to play again? You don’t go home even for the holidays, and your skin is getting thicker and thicker.”
