A few days later, Princess Zhao came to see Mrs. Xu in person.
The Xu family started out on a farm, and Mrs. Xu was originally an old country lady. She never expected that one day someone of such high status as Princess Zhao would come to pay her respects.
Fortunately, when Xu Si got married, she also went through some troubles and behaved generally well.
After the two parties had met, Mrs. Xu wanted to give up the throne to Princess Zhao - who didn't know that Prince Zhao would be extremely valuable in the future, so how could they dare to neglect it?
Princess Zhao? However, Princess Zhao refused, saying that she came today for family matters, Mrs. Xu is the elder, and there is no reason for the elder to let the younger generation down.
Mrs. Xu could only sit down cautiously and talk to her.
After the greetings, Princess Zhao quickly got to the point: "...the engagement was arranged in October last year, and it has now been a year. The war was busy before, so the wedding had to be postponed, but now everything has come to an end, and the two children have grown up.
, I hope to get married as soon as possible.”
Xu Huan had already explained this matter, and Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "What the princess said is that Ayin is seventeen during the Chinese New Year, and other families have children. The second young master is almost twenty, right?"
Princess Zhao said: "Our family does not have the habit of marrying early. His father and eldest brother both got married in their 20s. Next year, Aling will be 20, so the timing is perfect."
Then he said: "I know that your beloved daughter was thousands of miles apart before. After she got married, it was difficult to see her. Fortunately, we are both in the capital now. We don't care about seeing each other even after we get married, so I came to discuss it shamelessly.
It’s the wedding date.”
Madam Xu said hurriedly: "Princess, you're welcome. It's the first time for men to get married, and it's for the first time for women to get married. This is what should be done."
So the two talked about the date and the details of the wedding. Mrs. Xu had something unclear, and Mrs. Xu supplemented it beside her, and the wedding date was smoothly decided.
After finishing the matter, Princess Zhao said goodbye and left.
After the princess drove away, Xu Huan returned to the backyard to meet his mother.
Mrs. Xu's face was glowing, and she continuously praised Prince Zhao's palace for its dignity and Princess Zhao's thoughtfulness.
Yan Ling's current title is Duke of the Kingdom. If King Zhao goes one step further, he will be the son of the dragon and his grandson. Two years ago, Mrs. Xu would not have dared to think that she could have such a grandson-in-law. She felt so beautiful.
Xu Huan listened with a smile on his face and said: "It's good if mother is satisfied. I have been preparing for this wedding for two years, and everything is complete. I brought it all this time. The rest are all good buys. I have already
I ordered people to take care of it."
Mrs. Xu originally didn't know how to take charge of the inner house. She took care of it when Xu Si was a little older. Now that Xu Huan is in charge, she naturally has no objection.
Xu Huan turned to Mrs. Xu Er again and said: "Besides, there are some things that are inconvenient for me, so I can only entrust them to my younger siblings. It just so happens that it's time for Ajia to propose marriage, so my younger siblings can practice their skills."
Mrs. Xu Er's eyes lit up and she smiled from ear to ear: "Brother, you're welcome. How can I not do my best as aunt in Ayin's marriage? Don't worry."
After Xu Huan finished explaining, he asked Xu An to go to the front yard with him.
"Look at my mother's renewed energy and youthfulness." Xu An said with a smile.
Xu Huan smiled and nodded: "If A Ze also decides to get married, my mother will be even happier."
Xu An heard what he meant and was pleasantly surprised: "Brother, you mean..."
Xu Huan confirmed his guess: "Do you remember what I said to you during the Chinese New Year? Now that we have entered Beijing, we have a solid foundation. The marriage between Aze and Ajia can be proposed."
Xu An was very happy. Of his two children, Xu Ze was one year older than Xu Si, who was 20 in the Chinese New Year, and Xu Jia and Xu Yin were the same age, and were 17 in the Chinese New Year. They were really quite young.
"Now that I have been granted the title of Duke, our family's family status has become higher. As for you, my second brother, you have a decent rank as an official. Azze has made a lot of progress recently. I will personally take care of him in the future. His future will be good. In a few days,
If you let the wind go, you will definitely have a good marriage."
Xu An laughed: "You all listen to big brother."
He is very lucky now that his eldest brother told him to discuss marriage later, so he did it. If they discussed marriage in Nanyuan, the number of candidates for Xu Ze and Xu Jianeng's marriage would be limited, unlike now, where there are too many good families in the capital.
.Can the nephews and nieces of the Duke of Chaopin be the same as the nephews and nieces of the governor of Zhongzhou?
Xu Yin only gave himself one day off and went back to the military camp the next day.
She and Yan Ling were so busy, preoccupied with military affairs every day, that they had no time to worry about their own marriage.
But it didn't matter, she knew her father wouldn't treat her badly.
"My mother said that the eighteenth day of the first lunar month was a good day, so we decided on that day." Taking advantage of the lunch break that day, Yan Ling told her with a smile.
Xu Yin calculated: "It's less than a month, is it too late?"
"Don't worry, after my eldest brother's wedding, my mother has been preparing for my wedding. It's just that the venue and manpower have to be rearranged from Tongyang to Beijing, so it will take some time. Otherwise, we can get married on the spot."
Xu Yin nodded, but his expression was not very happy.
Yan Ling couldn't help but ask: "Why, are you unhappy?"
Xu Yin shook his head: "How could I be unhappy? It's just a pity."
"What's the pity?"
Xu Yin clicked on the letter in his hand: "The princess said that she would not return to Beijing. She guessed that I was about to get married, so she asked someone to bring me a congratulatory gift."
Yan Ling hesitated a little, and the joy on her face faded a little, and asked: "What is her plan? Have you told her? Now she is safe and can come back to Beijing openly. Even in the future... my father will
The princess will be given a title."
It has always been the case that when a new dynasty is first established, they will treat the previous royal family well to show their benevolence. Princess Changning has no bad deeds and will definitely treat her accordingly in the future.
Xu Yin replied: "She is not worried about this, she just feels that being Miss Gao is very happy. You don't know yet, right? I gave Yingtian County to her originally because I wanted her to have something to do and not be trapped by the past.
I don't think she has made fun of it, and now she is enjoying being a female county magistrate."
Yan Ling was surprised: "How can she do this without learning or skill in the past?"
Xu Yin glanced at him: "Don't look down on others, okay? The princess is very smart."
Yan Ling laughed: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't look down on people."
Speaking of this, Xu Yin hesitated and asked: "Look at Feng Chuncao, it shows that women can be generals, and look at Miss Qi, it shows that women can join the army, and now there is an example of a princess, which proves that women can also be county magistrates.
If I were a man, I would be able to make a marquis this time. But after all, this is in troubled times and laws are abolished, so these expediencies are available. Do you think there will be a way for women to make contributions in the future?"
These words made Yan Ling fall into deep thought: "What you said makes sense. Since women can do it, why not let them do it? It is much better than those useless wastes who are not successful... However, when the imperial examination is resumed and the imperial examination is held as usual, it must be
There is no way. Let women take part in the imperial examination? This is not possible either..."
Thousands of years of tradition, what can be changed by a decree from a superior? Xu Yin understood Yan Ling's dilemma and said: "This issue is very complicated. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still feel that I have not grasped the key points. In the future, you
Help me think about how we can change this situation and give them a way."
