Bai Shan, who came over, stared at Bai Erlang, and Man Bao, who came over, also stared at Mingda. After a while, the two of them turned their eyes away tacitly, making excuses for them, "The sun is too hot."
Bai Erlang subconsciously looked up at the sky, of course he wouldn't look directly at the sun, but he felt it, although it was a little sunburned, but it wouldn't turn red in a while, right
When Bai Erlang reacted belatedly, Ming Da had already turned his head and said to Man Bao: "We are going back to the palace..."
Successfully changed the subject.
Bai Erlang scratched his head, stood aside quietly, and waited for Mingda and Man Bao to leave before asking Bai Shan, "Did I say something wrong?"
Bai Shan asked curiously, "You still care about this?"
Man Bao said to Bai Erlang: "I heard from Chang Yu that His Majesty is going to choose a son-in-law for Ming Da."
Bai Erlang's heart was blocked, and he couldn't help muttering, "It's too small, what's the rush?"
Man Bao continued: "The Empress Dowager is getting more and more ill."
Bai Erlang stopped talking.
Ming Da and Chang Yu got into the carriage, Concubine Yang Gui also wiped away her tears and looked at the end of the road, and after confirming that she really couldn't see her son, she also supported the servant's hand to get into the carriage.
The prince took them back to the palace.
Man Bao waited for a group of people who came to see him off, waited for the prince and his carriages to leave, and then greeted each other and got on the carriage.
Today is Xiu Mu's day, the Ministry of Rites is so considerate, and the good days are chosen just in time for Xiu Mu, but there are not many people who come, except for the palace, only Yang Houye's family came to send people off, and there were two five-year-olds. None of the good friends the prince had made before, and the people who surrounded him before appeared.
Bai Shan got into the carriage and said to the two of them, "This is the warmth and coldness of human relationships."
Man Bao nodded.
Bai Erlang was distracted and ignored them.
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, and they winked in front of Bai Erlang.
It took Bai Erlang a long time to come back to his senses, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the two were looking at each other, and they didn't know what they were talking about with their eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you two stop for a while, the scenery outside is not bad."
Bai Shan asked, "What scenery is there outside?"
"Why not, there are so many delicious food outside." After Bai Erlang finished speaking, he opened the curtain and looked out, only to find that the outside was a wilderness, he was stunned, "Where is this going?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at him silently and said: "Mr. Jiang built a courtyard outside the city, and invited him to stay there for two days to escape the summer heat. Who is talking about it early this morning?"
They had agreed a long time ago to go to Mr. Jiang's other courtyard after seeing off the fifth prince, because it was such a coincidence that they were in the same direction.
Because of Bai Erlang's unusual forgetfulness, after returning from Mr. Jiang's other courtyard, Man Bao and Bai Shan quietly met in the garden.
Man Bao: "Before I know it, my junior is almost seventeen."
Bai Shan: "... is the third junior brother."
Man Bao continued: "It is indeed time to say kiss."
Bai Shan thought for a while and said: "It's not easy, Your Majesty dotes on Princess Mingda very much, and I'm afraid he wants to tell her about a marriage with a very good family background."
Man Bao thought about it, and felt that it was really possible. I am afraid that what the emperor thought was good was the first in family background, first in appearance, first in talent, and in first place in character.
"Let's see what Mingda means," Man Bao said after thinking about it, "there is still the queen here, I think the queen will listen to what Mingda wants, and Erlang is not bad."
Bai Shan nodded.
Although he often dislikes him, his own junior says it's okay, and he's really good compared to people outside.
The two looked at each other, and Man Bao said, "I'll ask Mingda."
Bai Shan casually said, "Then I'll ask Bai Er."
Only now did Bai Shan feel weird, and whispered: "Why do you think we are his elders?"
Man Bao chuckled, "We are senior sister and senior brother."
They decided to keep it a secret, but in less than half a day, the family knew everything they should know. Mr. Zhuang has always been free to his disciples. As long as what they want to do is not too dangerous or violates the law and morals, he basically In general, they just let it go, and occasionally give them some suggestions.
So he didn't stop the two disciples from wanting to be matchmakers, and even "boldly" wanting their junior brother to become a son-in-law. He just reminded: "Marriage is a big matter, and the parents' order and the matchmaker's words are justified."
Mrs. Liu only pondered for a while and then said: "Speaking of which, Erlang is not young, so he should indeed say kiss. I'll write to ask your cousin to come over."
Bai Dalang also soon found out that he was young after all, he hadn't turned his face sullenly, he opened his mouth for a while before recovering, and then said to Mrs. Liu: "Grandmother, isn't it good?"
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "The horoscope has not yet been written off. What's the point? Your junior sister and younger brothers just said that, but Erlang should really say kiss. He is a student of Chongwenkan now. Even if you can't be called a princess, you can also be called a girl from a similar family background, you can't decide on such a big matter, why don't you ask your father to come over."
Bai Dalang then remembered the suggestion of his classmates in school.
In fact, his younger brother can barely be regarded as a favorite in the capital. Their family has a lot of money and is also a branch of the family. Although there are only two brothers in their family, they are both descendants. He went to the Chongwen Museum to accompany the prince to read.
It wasn't obvious before, but now that the prince has given birth to the eldest son, his position has become more stable. If there is no accident, he will ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, then his younger brother will go more smoothly than others because of his status as a companion.
So this year, many classmates jokingly want to marry him, and there are also many classmates who have younger sisters and cousins at home.
Bai Dalang didn't agree all the time because he felt that his younger brother was still as stupid as a child, but now that he thinks about it, he will naturally become enlightened when he reaches his age.
But it still doesn't seem to work.
Bai Dalang glanced at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, these two were very lucky, maybe they could really make it happen
Bai Dalang thought in a daze, so it is possible for him to become in-laws with the emperor
Old Zhou Tou knew about it, he quietly said to Qian Shi: "I took a closer look just now, not to mention, the second young master is quite handsome when he draws a strip, maybe he can really recruit the princess."
Qian: ...
After the old Zhou Tou finished speaking, he slammed his mouth and said: "But I also looked at it carefully. In terms of what happened, our son-in-law is better looking."
Mrs. Qian warned: "I haven't written a word about this matter yet, so don't say it outside, or it won't be good for people to hear it."
"I know, so I'll tell you," Old Zhou said, "Besides, who can I talk to? You should tell Lao Wu and the others to pay more attention."
Zhou Wulang and the others won't talk about it. Ever since Manbao won the crown prince's reward and moved here, and she became an official again, Zhou Lijun said that family affairs are as trivial as cooking an extra dish at night. You can't talk to outsiders, and outsiders will pretend to be dumb when they ask.
Even though it is a big family, there is a difference between loose and tight access control and tone of the big family. When you go in and out of some back houses in Lijun's capital, you will often see people wandering around inquiring about the news of each family. It is almost impossible to guard against.
