The joining of Chen Jian and Tang Mo greatly improved Mu Anzhi's situation. After all, once Mu Anzhi's fiefdom was confirmed, eight or nine out of ten officials in the court shunned the rising majesty of his highness, especially the clan.
Mu Anzhi was selected as the first vassal king with the worst fiefdom since Emperor Taizu founded the country.
However, no one expected Mu Anzhi to suddenly play these two cards.
Chen Jian is the number one scholar in this spring's imperial examination, and Tang Mo is a direct descendant of the Tang family, a family that has been around for thousands of years. He is also of common descent from both the family and the clan. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that this is the youngest son of Princess Fengyang, who has been raised in the palace since he was a child.
The older one. Even though he is not as noble as his elder brother, he is still a very noble young master.
The joining of these two people made many families who regarded Mu Anzhi as a dead card begin to re-examine Mu Anzhi.
The Duke of Jin's wife began to worry about her son's future. She had a good relationship with Li Yuhua. In the past few years, she had benefited from Li Yuhua a lot. Her daughter also benefited a lot and was able to show her face in front of the Queen Mother. The son of the Duke of Jin also benefited from Li Yuhua.
He works as an errand in the Ministry of Justice. His official position is not high, but he is a serious and practical person. Compared with the third prince, Du Changshi, Huan Li is naturally not as good as him, but he is also a down-to-earth person, and he has gained experience.
Now that His Highness the Third Highness wanted to acquire the vassal state, the Duke of Jin and his wife had started to inquire about the Third Prince's concubine as early as when she returned to the imperial capital from Henan. She thought that the vassal land would never really be in the northern Xinjiang, and the two lakes were also prosperous areas. If the Third Highness came to
In the Lianghu vassal, her family had many children, so a few of them followed her. Even if they were doing odd jobs, they could find a job under the vassal king.
As a result, His Highness the Third Prince actually wanted to go to Northern Xinjiang.
With the departure of the Third Highness, the Ministry of Punishment has lost a huge supporter. In the future, if the son is promoted, he may have to find another way. The Duke of Jin sighed and counted the gifts on the couch again. It was a long way to the north, so forget about big things, they are cumbersome.
It was not easy to carry, so the Duke of Jin asked someone to go to the drug store to find some high-quality medicinal materials, intending to give them to the third prince and concubine, which was also her wish.
A burst of fresh and fragrant flower fragrance lingered. Madam Jin raised her eyes and saw her daughter coming in with a pot of half-opened jasmine. "Why are you getting these flowers and plants again? Come here and see if this gift list can be used. We will understand."
Go to your third aunt to talk to her."
Mu Xijin held the flowers and showed them to her mother, "I'm not leaving right away. These flowers are just in time. I'll send them to Third Aunt Zi to decorate the house." After handing the flowers to the maid, Mu Xijin also went over to see the gift her mother had prepared.
There are three types of ginseng: ginseng, red ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, astragalus, Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, angelica root, fleece-flower root, longan, polygonatum, dendrobium, antler glue, donkey-hide gelatin, turtle shell glue, bezoar, etc., all of which are very valuable medicinal materials.
This courtesy is sincere.
Mu Xijin said, "Northern Xinjiang is geographically remote, so it's really good to prepare more medicinal materials. Mom, don't just prepare medicinal materials, prepare some clothes for the eldest brother to go out as a gift, and also arrange a few proper entourages."
"Why are you going out to salute?" The Duke of Jin's hand was stunned as she was packing the medicinal materials, and she felt a little bad in her heart, "Your eldest brother is going to Northern Xinjiang with the Third Prince?"
"Yes. Brother, haven't you told me yet?" Mu Xijin took the box from his mother's hand and locked it with the copper clasp. "Even someone with a character like Chen Zhuangyuan and a family background like Mr. Tang is willing to be with the three brothers."
His Highness went to Northern Xinjiang to endure hardships, and my eldest brother also wants to go with His Highness."
The Duke of Jin's wife was a little anxious at first, but when she heard the name Chen Zhuangyuan, Mr. Tang, she calmed down, her face finally became better, and she complained, "Why didn't I know about such a big event?"
"Brother said he asked you."
"I didn't agree." The Duke of Jin's wife whispered, "Northern Xinjiang is not a good place to go, not to mention that the world is not peaceful now. The Third Highness will encounter assassins every time he goes to Henan. In that far-flung territory of Northern Xinjiang, I
How can you rest assured?"
"Which one of His Highness the Third Highness and the Third Aunt is not more noble than us? If they can go, we can't go?" Mu Xijin said, "I also want to go to Northern Xinjiang with the Third Aunt."
"What are you going to do?" Duke Jin's wife immediately became anxious, "No!"
"Mom, listen to me." Mu Xijin held her mother's hand, "Mom also knows that even though our family is the Duke of the clan, it is just a false title. Over the years, the family has been managed by you, mother.
.In the past few years, our life has been smooth, all because my third aunt is willing to support us. To be a human being, you must have a conscience."
"I know mother, you also know that the third aunt treats us well, so I have prepared many good medicinal materials. Now that I am older, I am not shy to say that I have reached the age to discuss marriage, but with our current situation, the marriage is not going to happen.
I'm not willing to go to a third-rate family. It's just a marriage after all, so I want to follow my third aunt to northern Xinjiang to see if there are any good opportunities." Mu Xijin said.
The Duke of Jin's hands trembled with fear, "Well, the people in Northern Xinjiang are all from the Rong and Di, so what good opportunities can there be for a good family? Don't be stupid, just find a marriage safely in the imperial capital. Is it possible?
Let’s just live a peaceful life and go to northern Xinjiang to find a savage to be my husband’s wife.”
"See what you said, mother, the third aunt is not higher than you. I will just stay with the third aunt. The chance of a good marriage is better than in the imperial capital." Mu Xijin said, "Besides, regardless of the marriage, I will follow the third aunt.
I can also learn a lot, and I can also take care of my elder brother, and we are also a helper to each other."
"No, no, I can't rest assured anymore."
"Mom, just entrust me to Third Aunt. Although there are many maids around Third Aunt, they are servants, and there are no juniors like me. Your Highness, Third Highness, is the son of Empress Liu, and her heart is in Sheji. Don't you want to fight if you follow me?
Future? It's the same for me. Since I can help my third aunt, if they want to get married, they will definitely think of me." Mu Xijin looked at her mother with burning eyes.
Even though Mrs. Jin Guogong had always been more ambitious, she just wanted to get a good job for her husband and son, but now her daughter was so frightened that she trembled all over. Mrs. Jin Guogong trembled, "Is this possible? There are no parents to help the prime minister.
Look, what should we do if we are from a dishonorable family?"
"Mom, where are you thinking about this? I am also the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom. Could it be that His Highness and His Third Aunt would let me marry someone who is not respectable?" Mu Xijin said, "It must be someone they like. Such a person
, it will never be bad. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of my subordinates."
The Duke of Jin's wife told her daughter that she had no master. She looked around but couldn't find her whereabouts. She said, "It's better to discuss this with your father."
"Dad is at Jiaohong's place these days, do you want to discuss it with him? He wishes he could have promised me to a merchant to earn more money, so that he can buy more concubines to love and pet." Mu Xijin had strong willpower, "Mother, you
Don’t say a word to dad, just say that my third aunt and I have a good relationship and we will go to Northern Xinjiang together to see more.”
"I'll discuss it with your uncle." Without discussion, the Duke of Jin and his wife would not be able to survive.
Mu Xijin said, "If you don't follow your husband, you will follow your son. I can't tell my uncle's family about it. We can discuss it together when the eldest brother comes back."
Therefore, when the Duke of Jin's wife entrusted her children to each other, Li Yuhua was certainly surprised.
Li Yuhua told Mu Anzhi about this, and Mu Anzhi said, "The Duke of Jin is ordinary, but this son and daughter are good." He said to Li Yuhua, "Xiyi will join the official team, and Xijin will do it with you.
My friend, this is a serious niece, don’t treat her outside."
"Why should I treat her outside? We have always been on good terms." Li Yuhua just couldn't figure it out. "Xiyi just wants to pay it forward and follow us to make a future. What is Xijin going to do with you? I heard her mother talk about her marriage a while ago.
Woolen cloth."
Mu Anzhi took a sip of tea and quietly said to Li Yuhua, "Why don't you understand? You are entrusting your daughter to us. From now on, it is our business to get married."
Li Yuhua was shocked, "How can this happen?" Getting married is a big deal for a girl, she can't make the decision for the Duke of Jin!
"Why not? It's a common thing. For example, wealthy families often raise clan daughters or daughters of relatives, as well as adopted daughters and adopted sons. This is not only to show their good friendship with each other, but also as a way to form a marriage." Mu Anzhi gave an example, "
Not to mention, Xiaobao grew up in the palace, and his marriage was arranged by His Majesty. This is the truth."
"How is this the same?"
"It's the same." Mu Anzhi said, "You often watch "The Legend of Empress Mingsheng". Empress Mingsheng will also keep the girls she likes by her side to educate her. In the future, most of the people who marry will be the families that Empress Mingsheng is optimistic about. Jin State
My father-in-law sent my daughter to us, and if a good person tells me to give her to Xijin in the future, the good relationship between our two families will be in vain."
When Mu Anzhi said this, Li Yuhua changed his mind.
Li Yuhua said, "I have read about these things in books, but my personal experience is still different." She was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I always feel like it is an exchange of interests."
"You are overthinking this. Even the exchange of benefits is consensual. Don't you think whose daughter is better and whose boy is better? You like to be a matchmaker. They are all the same." Mu Anzhi also experienced this for the first time in his life.
Mu Anzhi cannot show cowardice about things that Li Yuhua is not sure about, otherwise both of them will lose their minds. Mu An's way is, "It will be better if you practice more." He then said to Li Yuhua, "It's a pity that my status is different now.
She is a daughter of the clan, and her father's title is not low, so we must treat her differently."
Mu Anzhi pondered, "The Duke of Jin's wife has always been quick to talk about things. Unlike someone with such knowledge, Mu Xiyi is quite stable and not a first-rate talent. Who gave the Duke of Jin this idea?"
"It must be Xijin's own idea, she has always been strong." Li Yuhua knew Mu Xijin very well.
Mu Anzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said with approval, "She is a good girl. Since she has such a strong heart, maybe she can really come in handy!"
Mu Anzhi and Li Yuhua liked Mu Xijin's undisguised ambition. When getting along with such a person, there is only one word: refreshing!
Li Yuhua even regretted not getting along well with those down-and-out clan members who were fighting against the autumn wind. Otherwise, he could have recruited a few more ambitious girls to go with him.
Li Yuhua doesn't like the type of marriage that requires forced sacrifice. If both parties are willing, everyone can reap the benefits. Marriage is one of the important means to enhance mutual relations!
Not to mention others, it was Li Yuhua himself. When he first heard that Mu Anzhi was being offered a hand in marriage, didn't he immediately come to the imperial capital with the Xu family to get married after finding out that Mu Anzhi was in good health and had a normal brain?
Ambitious people are willing to take some risks!
