After hearing this, Mrs. Qi first said: "The third brother is outstanding in appearance, talented, civilized and martial, and values love and justice. He is the kind of husband you can't find even under a lantern! The choice of this third brother-in-law must not be ignored. , I have to find a talented girl who is as beautiful as a flower and has a gentle temperament for my third brother! Otherwise, how can she be worthy of my third brother?"
Seeing Princess Gaomi nodding her head frequently after hearing this, she continued, "But such beauties are rare. My wife has been away from home in the past few years. Although she has seen many outstanding ladies, she is not as good as the three. If the two brothers match each other... there will only be one: Huan Yehe, the Lord of Jingshu County!"
"Jingshu?" When Huan Yehe was mentioned, Princess Gaomi's eyes softened for a moment, and she nodded, "That is indeed an outstanding child. He must be talented and good-looking. The most rare thing is that he is born with a pair of nine tunes. My heart is so delicate and tight on all sides!”
But then he frowned, "It's just too exquisite... Everyone in the world has seen what happened in Bishui County before. If I tell her to He'er, He'er might be discussed?!"
Only then did Mr. Qi remember that her other brother-in-law Rong Qingzui had chased Huan Yehe to Bishui County, and then something went wrong there. Although Huan Yehe is very capable, he has always been interested in Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui, and has never established a relationship with either of them, let alone letting anyone take advantage of them. However, if the county owner finally becomes the princess of Mi Zhen County … Aren’t outsiders going to talk about Rong Suihe’s violent attack on his brother
She quickly apologized: "It's my daughter-in-law who didn't think well!"
Princess Gaomi waved her hand: "It's nothing, we are just discussing... Do you have any other candidates?"
"This..." Mrs. Qi thought about it seriously and said with some embarrassment, "Chang'an really has no candidate who can compete with Jingshu County Chief but has not yet left the cabinet in recent years."
Seeing her mother-in-law's disappointed look after hearing this, Qi quickly said in order to prevent her eldest daughter-in-law from appearing too incompetent, "Actually, my mother-in-law hasn't paid much attention to the outside world in recent years, but several cousins from the Zhao family are here right now. In the year of the marriage proposal, my daughter-in-law is thinking that my grandmother will definitely pay close attention to the young men and ladies in Chang'an?"
These words reminded Princess Gaomi: "What you are talking about is... It seems that I have to go back to Zhao Mansion."
Ever since the "epidemic" broke out in the Gaomi Palace, Princess Gaomi has not returned to the Zhao Palace for fifteen years, even though the two palaces are in the same city and not too far apart.
Now that he suddenly had to return to his parents' home, not only King Gaomi was greatly surprised, but the whole Zhao family was also filled with surprises.
Mrs. Qin was particularly happy. Ever since she received the news, she would ask almost every moment: "Is it true? Is Midnight really coming back?"
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law left early. The eldest master, Zhao Shi, valued getting married and did not remarry. At this moment, serving the old lady were the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Li Shi, and the second daughter-in-law, Ji. They both affirmed one after another and advised Mr. Qin. Person: "The princess has been ill for many years. Now she is getting better because of the return of Prince Mi Zhen. She still needs to be recuperated. It is best not to be overjoyed or sad! You are so excited now. If you see the princess later, how can you persuade her to calm down? Woolen cloth?"
Mrs. Qin wiped her eyes and said: "I only have one daughter. The things I did were for her own good, but she hasn't seen me for fifteen years. Now God has blessed me and made me happy... He'er's child is back in good health. Overtly and secretly these days, I have been sending her messages asking her to bring the child to me, but she has never paid attention to it! I originally thought that what happened in the past made her deeply resentful and she would never forgive me in this life. Oh! I never thought she would be willing to come back now... "
The old lady sniffed, forced a smile and said, "That's what you said! In order for Midnight to get better soon, I have to endure it!"
Mrs. Li was young. She only married into the Zhao family three years after Rong Suihe was declared "died". She was not very clear about the past. When she heard this, she was surprised. She had always thought that Princess Gaomi was more than ten years old. The reason why I didn't go back to my parents' home for the whole year was because of my poor health, and I was afraid that Mrs. Qin would be sad to see her.
Only then did I realize that it turned out to be a rift between mother and daughter, and it sounded like the rift was related to Rong Suihe
Just as I was wondering, I heard my aunt Ji say: "Mother, what are you talking about? You are the princess's biological mother, how could the princess resent you? The princess has not responded in the past two days, think about that time The Prince of Mi Zhen County has just come back and is being pursued by the Meng family. The Sheng family who adopted him before has also been affected by the rumors! In this way, the princess and the prince are busy dealing with the Meng family, and they also have to deal with the Meng family. The prince's deprived champion is striving for compensation, but he is too busy to respond. Now that these matters have finally come to an end, will the princess come back to see you? "
Mrs. Qin knew her daughter well and knew that her daughter-in-law's words were just to comfort her. But as long as Princess Gaomi was willing to resume contact with her mother's family, Mrs. Qin was willing to pretend to be confused. At this moment, she showed her face and said: "Remember that I was at home at midnight When she was little, she loved to eat the walnut cheese and crystal dragon and phoenix cakes that I made by myself. Since she didn’t come back, I rarely cook anymore. I don’t know what my hand will look like now. She still doesn’t like it?”
The Zhao Mansion was making preparations in great excitement, because they were afraid that Princess Gaomi and Mrs. Qin would be too excited when they reunited after a long absence, which would be detrimental to their still-unrecovered bodies. The thoughtful Ji even taught the kitchen to prepare the calming soup.
As a result, Princess Gaomi's attitude was very calm and unhurried when she saw Mrs. Qin, as if mother and daughter had not seen each other for fifteen years at all, but had just met a few days ago. She said hello calmly and performed family rituals. , and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask my mother."
Mrs. Qin, on the other hand, despite being surrounded by a bunch of juniors to persuade her, couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her haggard and separated daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years: "How did you end up like this? You just don't think about yourself, so you can't feel sorry for yourself. Do you feel sorry for the Qingzui couple and Qingfang?"
However, seeing his daughter frowning and impatient with her mentioning the past, he finally suppressed his sadness, wiped his face, and sighed, "If you have anything to do, just say it! I only have your daughter, as long as I can do it for you When have you ever frowned?!"
Princess Gaomi took a look, and Mrs. Qin immediately ordered the place to be cleared.
Only the mother and daughter were left in the house. The princess did not talk around in circles and said bluntly: "He'er is already twenty, and I think it's time to find a wife for him. It's just that I haven't cared about the outside world in these years, and I don't know that there are people in Chang'an now." Which girls are suitable for him? I think that several nieces and nephews are also in the age of discussing marriage, so my mother will probably be prepared, so I came here to find out. "
When Mrs. Qin heard that it was about Rong Suihe, she was immediately awe-struck. She was a daughter of Princess Gaomi, and she loved Zi Lai Bao very much. She valued Zi Lai Bao more than her son. However, because of what happened fifteen years ago, the two of them had different opinions. , so much so that they never saw each other again after a big quarrel.
Over the years, the old lady has not never sought reconciliation. She even personally made walnut cheese and crystal dragon and phoenix cakes several times and sent them to Princess Gaomi to show her concern. Unfortunately, Princess Gaomi was too deeply concerned and ignored her at all. She even sent the things in front of her. He threw the food box out of the door in front of others... The old lady was afraid that if she continued, it would annoy her even more, so she calmed down.
Now that Princess Gaomi finally came to see her, it was to find a wife for Rong Suihe. Mrs. Qin deeply felt that whether she could completely reconcile with her daughter for the rest of her life depended on this one thing, and she immediately said: "You really should come here for this matter." Ask me! Your nephews, five, six, and seven, are now at the age when they want to marry each other. I started looking for them as early as four or five years ago! "
He asked Princess Gaomi, "I just don't know what kind of daughter-in-law you like?"
"I haven't mentioned this to He'er yet, and I don't know what he likes?" Princess Gaomi pondered, "After all, I don't know anything about girls of the right age in Chang'an right now. If I tell him, When he asked, it wasn’t a big deal that I didn’t know anything about this question. So I thought I’d ask my mother about it and talk to him again when I get back.”
Mrs. Qin thought for a while and said: "He'er left you for some reason and came back after more than ten years. It is inevitable that you mother and son will be estranged! In my opinion, it is best to choose someone sensible and filial for him. This will also We won’t let He’er get separated from you just because they are married.”
These words reached the heart of Princess Gaomi, and she immediately nodded: "That's exactly how it should be!"
"But to be honest, for a girl who has reached the age of leaving the court, as long as the elders in the family are not deliberately cheating on the child, they will definitely speak well of the child outside." Mrs. Qin rubbed her tea bowl and thought for a while before continuing. Said, "So if you don't grow up with me, who can know whether the child is really good or just pretending to be good? Once this important matter of marriage is accomplished, it will be difficult to break it up! The most fearful thing is that the girl will take He'er away. After coaxing him over, I will be confident when the time comes and I will keep trying to keep you quiet all day long, but you are just trying to avoid the worst, I am so angry that I can’t say anything!”
He raised his chin towards the palace and said, "He'er is young and is inevitably easily seduced by beauty. If you are like the one in the palace and forget your mother when you see your daughter-in-law... I think you will feel bad too!" "
Princess Gaomi frowned and said, "Mom, do you mean to kiss me more?"
Mrs. Qin secretly praised her daughter's intelligence, nodded and said: "Taobei grew up in front of me. Although you, my aunt, have not had time to pay attention to her these years, you should know how to teach girls. Moreover, this child is very good at teaching girls." Although I don’t know much about what happened in the past, I have respect for your aunt and have the intention of getting close to you! If I became your daughter-in-law, I would never say that I was trying to persuade He’er to leave you, and I would help you persuade He’er to stay with you. It’s more like making out!”
"Tao Mei?" Princess Gaomi recalled that the two girls that Mrs. Qin had glanced at before clearing the place were both very good-looking. Although she had not paid much attention to her parents' family in the past ten years, she was very concerned about Mrs. Qin's upbringing. The girl's level is still recognized. After all, she was famous in Chang'an when she was young. Wasn't it the old lady who trained her
After thinking for a moment, she nodded happily, "How about we let Taozhuang go to the palace to stay for a few days and see if he and Heer are compatible?"
Because the princess didn't know that Zhao Taozhuang and Rong Qingzui were very close, when she saw Mrs. Qin recommending Zhao Taoyuan by name, she thought that the old lady felt that Zhao Taoyuan had lost her mother when she was young and had a preference for her granddaughter, so she The opportunity to get married and become the princess of the county should be left to Zhao Taomei.
But Princess Gaomi felt that Rong Suihe was the first person to be convicted of a crime at the age of eighteen, and he won the first prize all the way, and finally got the top prize!
Since her son is such a rare talent, her daughter-in-law must have only learned a lot to match him. Although the Zhao family is known as a scholarly family with heirlooms of poetry and etiquette, Zhao Taomei's biological mother died young, and his biological father Zhao Shi was not only the deputy commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang but also the general of Huaihua, and he abandoned literature and turned to martial arts.
On the other hand, Zhao Taozhuang's biological father, Zhao Qiu, was the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette and was the examiner of the just-concluded Spring Festival. He was also born in a third-century college. Such a father and daughter should have more in common with Rong Shuihe!
"Taozhuang?" It was just Princess Gaomi's request, but it put Old Madam Qin in trouble. Madam Qin knew that Princess Gaomi hated Rong Qingzui very much, otherwise she wouldn't have even kept her son away from the palace. In the past, Er Shu When her intention was to turn to King Gaomi, she wanted Rong Qingzui to adopt Emperor Xuanjing as the heir apparent. Such a great opportunity to win without fighting, Princess Gaomi refused without hesitation, and even went to the palace in person to persuade Ershu to give up the idea. This shows the degree of disgust towards Rong Qingzui.
Therefore, Mrs. Qin did not dare to mention Rong Qingzui in front of Princess Gaomi, let alone tell her daughter Zhao Taozhuang that she had been in love with Rong Qingzui for a long time.
After hesitating for a while, he found an excuse to decline, "You probably don't know, right? Taozhuang is a bit impatient. When she was in Bishui County, she had a dispute with the Lord of Kangzhao County. For this matter, Sheng When the children came to Chang'an, they came here to apologize for their sins! Of course, my mother is not an indiscriminate old fool, and she apologized to several girls on the spot with her peach makeup! "
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Qin was also very sorry, "At that time, He'er and Prince Ningwei did not enter the inner courtyard because of their gender differences. Qiu'er was the examiner and wanted to avoid suspicion, but Xiaowu and his brothers were greeting each other in the front yard. Yes. Those children have never met Mrs. Mo, so they didn’t think much about it! If my mother had seen him with her own eyes at that time, why would it have taken so long for your mother to recognize him? "
"I know about this." But Princess Gaomi shook her head and said, "Before I went to Ningweihou Mansion to meet He'er, I repeatedly interrogated him about things related to him. I also knew at that time that you, mother, had probably not seen it with your own eyes. Go to him, otherwise there would be no need for the Lord Jingshu to inform you?"
She thought about it for a moment. Although she thought it was such a trivial matter, Mrs. Qin had escorted Zhao Taozhuang to give gifts to Sheng Weiqiao and the others in person. It was estimated that the Sheng family would not care about it anymore, and Rong Suihe would not hold a grudge against his cousin because of this. Is it now
But thinking about how hard it was to get my son back, it was better not to do anything that might make him unhappy, so after hesitating for a long time, I finally said: "Since Mom thinks Tao Mei is suitable, then Tao Mei?"
