"There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. The Queen is too busy to call us into the palace, so I can only listen to the news of the host family at home." Princess Wuyang is best at livening up the atmosphere. "During this period, things happened outside the palace as well.
There are many things, do you want to hear about it, Queen?"
"You look like three aunts and six wives." Huangfu Chuchu looked disgusted, "You don't need to talk about my family's affairs, I will do it myself."
Princess Wuyang curled her lips: "Do you think I am willing to say it?"
Huangfu Chuchu held the tea cup: "I got engaged, but Rong Zhan said that he would wait until he gets the top prize in the palace examination next year before marrying into my family. My eldest brother immediately gave him a look and said that my family didn't have any sons, so why would he want to marry into his family? So he gave him a big hand
Hui, I bought him a house in the capital, and I'm waiting to marry him next year."
Princess Wuyang sneered: "Just show off."
Yun Zishu nodded slowly: "It does look like your elder brother."
"Rong Zhan has been reviewing his lessons at home these two days." Huangfu Chuchu ignored Princess Wuyang, with a hint of tame and well-mannered satisfaction on his face, "It's rare to see him so well-behaved."
Since the marriage was finalized, Rong Zhan has never been seen being arrogant in front of her, and suddenly he has become extremely polite. His mother said that men and women should not meet frequently before the marriage, and Rong Zhan complied with it. His eldest brother said that Enke could participate through family recommendation.
, there is no need for the provincial examination, but next year's spring and palace examinations will require him to do it personally, so he needs to review his homework carefully. Rong Zhan stays at home every day to read and write articles, not to go too far easily.
Huangfu Chuchu felt that he seemed to have suddenly become much more sensible, restrained his occasionally unruly edges, and became gentle and gentle, so sensible that she was not used to it.
"That's right." Yun Zishu nodded and chuckled, "Lovers will eventually get married, and Rong Zhan can be considered as getting his wish."
Huangfu Chuchu was in a good mood and sipped tea: "This girl will be considered a husband in the future. Princess Wuyang doesn't know when to discuss the marriage."
Princess Wuyang said calmly: "I have no intention of discussing the marriage."
Um?
As soon as she said this, several pairs of eyes on the table fell on her face in unison, as if a flower suddenly grew on her face.
"I have decided to raise a few beautiful young people." Princess Wuyang confided domineeringly, "It doesn't matter if they are younger, as long as they are good at singing, dancing, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they don't need to be promising, just be gentle and well-behaved."
The corner of Yun Zishu's mouth twitched: "Have great ambitions."
"Aren't you worried about being scolded?" Fu Nanxi frowned, "Such behavior is too unethical and treasonous, and I'm afraid the world won't tolerate it."
"It doesn't matter what the world tolerates, I just want to live a comfortable life." Princess Wuyang said calmly, "Most of the people in the world are pedantic and think that women should be gentle and virtuous. I want to live as I please."
Huangfu Chuchu sighed softly: "Princess Wuyang is really a hero among women. She dares to think things that others dare not think of. I admire you."
Gu Qingyan sat in silence drinking tea, her eyes slightly averted, looking worried.
"Nanxi also got engaged." Princess Wuyang changed the topic and skillfully turned the topic to someone else.
Yun Zishu turned to look at Fu Nanxi: "Whose young master is he?"
Fu Nanxi was silent for a moment and replied: "The second son of the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, I have not met him yet."
"Have you never met him?" Yun Zishu frowned at first, and then asked: "Did the elders of the family decide on this marriage?"
Fu Nanxi nodded: "Grandma ordered it."
Yun Zishu frowned and thought for a moment. Sicang had indeed brought up a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs a few days ago. The man's surname was Tan, he was nearly forty years old, and his temperament seemed to be quite upright. His son should be good at it.
"How many sons does Mr. Tan have?"
Fu Nanxi said: "Two sons, the second son Tan Jinzhi is an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He is outstanding in appearance and humble. Many people in the capital come to propose marriage. Since Mr. Tan was promoted to minister, more and more people came to propose marriage.
A little more. The eldest son, Tan Mingzhi, is a dandy. He is ignorant and has no skills. He spends all his time eating, drinking and having fun. He is already twenty-two this year and the marriage has not been decided yet."
Yun Zishu looked at her thoughtfully: "Are you a little worried about this second young master Tan?"
"It's not that I'm worried." Fu Nanxi sighed, "I just heard about something."
"What's the matter?"
"A year ago, the second young master of the Tan family actually had a lover, who was the cousin of the young master of the Tan family. His parents died young and he has been fostered in the Tan family." Fu Nanxi took a sip of tea, her voice was so light that she couldn't hear the emotion, "But
The cousin later committed suicide."
"Suicide?" Yun Zishu frowned and subconsciously turned to look at the others, "What's going on?"
"I have indeed heard about this matter." Princess Wuyang nodded, "I heard that it was because the eldest son of the Tan family fought for love and was jealous, which led to the cousin being talked about for being inappropriate. At the same time, he was not clear with the two brothers.
, my cousin committed suicide by jumping into a river due to the hurt caused by the rumors, and it was almost the New Year's Eve, and the weather was too cold, so she ran out of breath quickly after being rescued."
Yun Zishu understood clearly. She hadn't come here a year ago, so naturally she hadn't heard about this incident.
"Such a thing did happen in the Tan family, but it was said that it was the eldest son's responsibility. Moreover, the eldest son Tan's reputation has never been very good. His cousin jumped into the river and committed suicide. He was not sad at all. He should drink and go shopping.
Visiting brothels." Huangfu Chuchu snorted, "So men are really not a good thing."
Yun Zishu pondered for a moment and looked at Fu Nanxi: "Do you have a grudge against your cousin?"
Fu Nanxi shook his head slowly: "It's not a grudge, it's just an indescribable feeling."
"Before this cousin jumped into the river, how was the eldest son of the Tan family?"
"It's not good." Huangfu Chuchu slowly shook his head, "Similar to my eldest brother, he is an undisciplined person and does not do his job all day long. However, the Tan family is a family of civil servants. After all, the eldest son Tan is not like my eldest brother who makes trouble.
The reviews have never been good.”
Fu Nanxi said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing."
Huangfu Chuchu was surprised: "What do you mean, is there something hidden in this?"
"I don't know." Fu Nanxi looked bleakly, "I just feel that... no matter whether it is the eldest young master or the second young master, having my cousin's life in the middle makes me feel uncomfortable."
She had no expectations for this marriage and was even a little uneasy.
"Choose a day to appreciate plum blossoms another day, and invite all the young masters from the aristocratic families to sit in the palace." Yun Zishu spoke calmly, turning to look at the three princesses as she spoke, "You have all reached the marriageable age, if you have me
If you like it, you can mention it to the emperor, and if we can bring about a few happy marriages during the New Year,"
Aventurine said: "Can I choose anyone?"
"Huangfu Lingfeng definitely can't do it." Yun Zishu said, "If someone doesn't want Princess Shang, we can't force her."
