Aunt Huo stretched out her hand and nodded her head: "What do you know, girl? Men only know how to love others when they are older. Look at our King Mo, then look at Mr. Xuan, Princess Mo and the Third Young Lady, which one is not Are you younger than them?"
"Mom, this is different. King Mo heard that his situation is special, and this is an exception. As for Master Xuan, you also know what his habits are. I think Shen Yi is so old and still hasn't gotten married. What's wrong with him? Let's forget it, I don't like him anyway!"
"Shaoyao, there is no problem whether you are too old or not to get married. As for Shen Yi, although my mother is a little awkward, she is still very good in all aspects. His parents are honest, and he himself has fame. When the prince ascends the throne, He is an official. If you marry him, you will become the wife of an official and your children will..."
"Mom, it's better not to say anything about the fact that you don't even have a character. It has nothing to do with whether an official's wife is a wife or not. Just think that I'm not good enough for him, and don't mention it again. He has How can a man of great fame marry someone who has been a maid? Mother, since ancient times, we have always paid attention to being well-matched, don’t forget it!"
Seeing her resisting so much, Aunt Huo felt a little pity.
Shen Yi's conditions are indeed quite good. In addition, his background is not considered high. Now that Shaoyao is a free man, and his original status with the host's family is not low, it is still okay.
Her daughter is no worse than those Xiaojiabiyu!
It makes sense that Du Dao would rather marry a maid from a high family than a girl from a small family.
A maid from a high-ranking family has a broad vision. In terms of handling people and caring for others, girls from small families cannot match her.
Forget it, if you don't like peony, you won't like it. She will look for it again later.
She is not young at this age, and she cannot drag on like this any longer!
Seeing her mother's silence, Shaoyao thought she was still trying to convince herself, so she continued: "Mom, I really don't like that Shen Yi. Although I am free now, if people ask in the future, I will know that he Madam, she was once a man's girl, so wouldn't she look bad on the face? Besides, mother, do you think any official has three wives and four concubines in his backyard? Of course, our master and his wife are a different matter, let's just talk about other people. You see The old man and his aunt have given birth to the second master. As for the eldest man, it’s just because the eldest wife is of noble birth. But mother, I am different. I was once a girl. If I want to get married, I just want to find someone who is honest and single-minded. People who live with me. I don’t ask for great wealth, I just want to make progress.”
"Okay, mom got it. You've been tired for a long day, so go back to the house and rest!"
When Shaoyao heard what her mother said, she looked at her mother carefully and felt relieved when she saw that she was not unhappy.
"Fathers and mothers, my daughter is going down first, you should rest early!"
Shaoyao said, bowed, then turned and left.
In fact, she just simply doesn't like Shen Yi, and it really has nothing to do with age. As her mother said, maybe if she is a little older, she still knows how to care for others.
The poetic girl, Miss Yi Ning, and our own lady all married a few years older than them.
It was hard for her to imagine what would happen if she married someone who was about the same age as her.
After waiting for Shaoyao to leave, Aunt Huo couldn't help but sigh. She looked at Shaoyao's father and said, "Look at your girl. Ever since she took over the farm, her ideas have been getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, I won't be able to do it again." If you really become an old girl, you won’t be able to get married then.”
Shaoyao Daddy was originally the housekeeper of Jiang Yunye's house, and was given the surname Jiang.
Since he came to Hongwu Kingdom, he has taken care of all the general affairs of Jiang Mansion, large and small, while Aunt Huo is mainly in charge of Nuanxiang Pavilion.
When he heard what Nanny Huo said, he didn't care much and said: "There's nothing wrong with Shaoyao. On the contrary, I feel much more sensible than before. I used to be with the young lady, but we protected her well. Together with the young lady,
She is carefree, but seems a little heartless. Fortunately, the young lady has experienced a lot in the past few years, and she has grown up. It is a blessing to be able to stand alone in the farmhouse. A woman in this world does not necessarily have to
If you depend on a man and are capable, even if you marry an ordinary person, your life will not be bad. Look at Princess Mo, she is a living example."
Aunt Huo thought about Yan Shiqing and Jiang Suya, and said nothing at that moment.
Shiqing is independent enough that even without King Mo and her natal family, she would not be any worse off.
As for her young lady, if her husband's family is not strong-willed, she can completely imagine how difficult her future life would be without her natal family.
Forget it, Shaoyao's marriage is not in a hurry, let's take a look first and then talk about it.
The Hongwu Kingdom is so big and there are so many people in the capital, it is not difficult to find a decent son-in-law!
Great Chu Capital
Chu Ximo's letter back to the capital was delivered as quickly as possible.
Emperor Shun'an was so excited after reading the contents of the letter that he immediately left the Yangxin Hall and walked to the harem.
I think his mother would be happy when she heard that her younger brother and sister were pregnant.
And Huaijin, he will be happy knowing that he is going to be an older brother.
Well, so does Lulan.
In the palace of Empress Dowager Jiang, Yang Lulan was telling her some interesting stories about Huaijin's greetings in her palace in the morning, when she heard the announcement of the emperor's arrival coming from outside the door.
The two of them had surprised looks in their eyes at the same time.
At this time on weekdays, the emperor is usually dealing with government affairs. Why do you have time to come here today?
Before they could figure out the reason, they saw Emperor Shun'an coming in in a hurry.
"Mother, what a happy event!"
After he said this, he saw Yang Lulan was there, and he smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is here too? Just in time, let's listen together!"
Empress Dowager Jiang felt a little heavy whenever she thought about the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and that Huaijin would have to leave once it was over.
When she heard any big news, she just raised her eyebrows.
However, Yang Lulan came forward to greet him, bowed first, and then asked: "It must be a good thing to make the emperor so happy!"
Emperor Shun'an nodded with a smile, then took Yang Lulan's hand, sat down closest to Empress Dowager Jiang, and handed out the letter hidden in his sleeve pocket.
"Queen Mother, please look!"
This was the first time that Empress Dowager Jiang saw him like this. She reached out to take it with some doubts, glanced at it briefly, and then opened her eyes wide, reading every word, fearing that she might be dazzled and read the wrong thing! yyls
Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang didn't respond for a long time, Yang Lulan also looked over. After reading a few lines at a glance, she covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there is a queen in Prince Mo's house. This is a great event! Wait for Huaijin.
When you come back from school, you will definitely be happy after hearing this."
Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes were swollen. After hearing Yang Lulan's words, she looked at Emperor Shun'an and said, "Finally, we have a queen! Ever since Huaijin was named the crown prince, the Ai family's heart has been torn and uncomfortable. They always feel that they have been robbed.
Their only child. Ever since they left the capital, the Ai family has been worried day and night that if something happens to them and they are unable to have a child, then Amo will have to have an offspring."
Empress Dowager Jiang said, clasped her hands, walked outside the door, bowed to the sky, and did not forget to say: "God bless, God bless..."
In fact, what Empress Dowager Jiang said was also what Emperor Shun'an and Concubine Lan were thinking.
Since ancient times, when the emperor had no heirs, the prince adopted him from other clansmen, only when there was an heir in that palace.
But Prince Mo's Mansion was different. Chu Ximo had a child named Nian An, and he was named the prince. Prince Mo's Mansion was like having no heirs.
Even though everyone knows that the prince came from Prince Mo's palace, the king is the king and the ministers are the ministers.
In the future, even if there are no heirs in Prince Mo's palace and Huai Jin ascends the throne, Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo will have to salute him when they see him!
"Mother, this happy event should be told to the world and celebrated with the people. What do you think?"
Empress Dowager Jiang was happy in her heart, but she shook her head when she heard this: "No! Wait until one or two months have passed and the fetal position is stable. Let's wait for five months. Wait until she has a baby in her belly for five months before she can be pardoned.
"
"Okay, when the winter moon comes, I will issue an edict to the world to reduce taxes by 10% within a year to accumulate blessings for the child in the belly! By the way, King Mo and his wife will also be exempted from the ceremony of kneeling."
As soon as Emperor Shun'an said these words, Concubine Lan and Empress Dowager Jiang's minds changed, and they knew that he was doing this for Huaijin's accession to the throne in the future.
No matter what, the little guy is the couple's child, and there is no reason for them, as parents, to kneel down and worship him in the future.
The news that Yan Shiqing was pregnant soon spread from the palace and spread in various mansions that were closely related to the palace.
In the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, Luo Jiaocheng had always had very little contact with the outside world.
She would know, or Suxin came here to tell her.
After hearing this, her eyes widened at first, and then her face burst into tears, and she held Su Xin's hand tightly with both hands: "Su Xin, but seriously, did you hear that right?"
"Hui Madam, it's true. It's absolutely true. The news first spread from the Jiang Mansion!"
The joy in Luo Jiaocheng's eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
After calming down, my mind starts to come alive.
Shiqing had a child again, so she discussed this topic with Mr. Hou and had more contact with him.
Her current age is not considered old, and it is actually not impossible for old clams to grow pearls.
The Guohou Mansion in this town is really deserted.
If there were multiple children holding him back, Mr. Hou would not be like this.
Thinking of this, she reached out and touched her belly, looked at Su Xin and said, "Su Xin, I want to go to Tuofeng Town! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can make arrangements for me."
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what she was doing and said, "Tuofeng Town is far away from the capital. Why would Madam want to go there?"
"This house has no heirs, it is cold and cold, and not popular. I want to ask Biyun to show me whether I can be reborn? I am not that old at this age, so I want to give it a try."
Luo Jiaochao said, with an unprecedented firmness in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Su Xin sighed inwardly, but didn't say much.
The Marquis has no other women, and there are no other clan members in the Ding Mansion. After the princess got married, it was indeed deserted.
It would be great if Madam can give birth.
However, she felt that Madam's trip would be in vain.
