Chapter 341
The queen also often sent people to greet the Yu family and the Ma family. Perhaps it was the interaction with the harem these years that made her less surly and cruel, and more peaceful and gentle. In fact, she never had much ill feelings towards the Ma family and the Yu family. The two of them did very few annoying things to themselves.
Now that they are out of the palace, I am still a little worried about them, fearing that they will be bullied and crowded by the slaves, so I often send Sister Xin over to check on them.
The emperor's attitude also proved that he cared for the two rather than abandoning them as rumored by the outside world, which made the Ma family and the Yu family dare not have any bad thoughts towards the two. It is true that the nephews often come over to flatter them, but it is a pity that the two People who want to be grandmothers have long looked away and just laughed at these things.
Sister Xin held a flower banquet. This was the first banquet since she had the mansion. She specially invited many elders, best friends and wives, and many sons and daughters were among them. Of course, in order to prevent others from talking, she specially Brother and Wang Rui also called over to help her greet the male guests.
Today's main purpose is to check whether the daughters of the three ladies are suitable as godmates. Currently, these three families all have girls from famous families.
The Yang family, the Wang family, and the Zhao family, the first two famous families, are second to none in all aspects, and the Zhao family is slightly second. The reason is relatively simple. His family is a prominent family in Shandong, and his children have not been officials in the capital for a long time. Things that happened over the past few years, so they were all below the fourth rank official.
The Zhao family themselves also believe that there is little chance of being selected, which is just a formality, but being included in the list is also a good reputation. In the future, the girls in the family will also be able to make good friends. The emperor likes the families included in the list. It won't be any worse.
The girl from the Zhao family is the prettiest in appearance and has a gentle personality on the outside but strong on the inside. She is the eldest sister in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister. She is very knowledgeable and low-key, and she never competes for the title of talented woman.
Relatively speaking, Huilan is secretly optimistic about this girl from the Zhao family. According to the survey, she is somewhat more satisfied with the girl from the Zhao family. However, she has never met her in person and cannot guarantee that her son will like her.
Sister Xin held this flower banquet just to take a look.
The eldest princess leaned in front of her and identified her, "The lady wearing a purple Xiang skirt with eight blessings is Mrs. Yang. The one next to her is her daughter, who is also the eldest daughter.
The girl in yellow clothes is the girl from the Wang family, and the girl in the light red clothes who is talking to the person who is the most eye-catching is the girl from the Zhao family."
Sister Xin took a closer look and nodded slightly, "In terms of temperament, the Zhao girl is indeed the most outstanding."
"To be honest, I also think the Zhao family girl is the most outstanding. Her speech and behavior are also very gentle and moderate, and her work is not bad at all. She is well-organized and well-organized."
The eldest princess also likes the girls from the Zhao family, and the other two are also good, but they are inevitably a bit more arrogant. Girls of this age don't know how to hide their thoughts, it can be seen in their eyes.
After a while, the little girl came back and truthfully reported to Sister Xin how the three girls were playing. It was obvious that the Zhao girl was more popular, had a cheerful and amiable temperament, was gentle, spoke and handled things fairly, and was very good at getting things done.
After the flower banquet, Sister Xin returned to the palace and reported the situation to Huilan.
"My eldest aunt also said that the girl from the Zhao family is good. She is a little less arrogant but more calm and peaceful. She probably feels that she cannot be chosen. Her mentality is relaxed and she treats people very well."
"Well, I like her too, but I still have to wait until your brother comes back to take a look. The choice is for him, not for us and my mother. We think it's good but it's useless. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. Woolen cloth."
"Yes, but I'm sure my brother doesn't like the girl from the Yang family. She has a stubborn temper, a tough personality, and a tough attitude in speaking and doing things. I don't like it very much. The girl from the Wang family is more arrogant, but she speaks and acts on an even-keeled basis, which is not bad.
."
Sister Xin recounted the details of the flower banquet to prove it.
Huilan nodded while listening. Brother Lian came over and said, "Find a powerful wife for my brother and take care of him."
"Then I won't have time to care about you anymore."
Huilan was so funny that her son quarreled.
Brother Lian's eyes rolled, "I'm doing it for my brother's good, not for my own selfishness."
"Hahahaha! Do you think I believe it?"
Huilan and Sister Xin laughed loudly, and Brother Lian blushed in embarrassment and turned to his mother's arms to act coquettishly.
"Who asked him to come all the way to write letters and assign homework? My father had forgotten about it, but he reminded me again. I was so angry..."
Brother Lian was so angry that he beat the bed with his hands. He was so annoying.
"Hahaha, then why don't you work harder, otherwise I will have to deal with you when he comes back, and I don't care."
Huilan reached out and nodded his head.
"Hmm! Got it."
Brother Lian covered his head and responded helplessly, looking downcast, like a defeated little rooster.
After the flower banquet, Sister Xin went to visit Sister Yan. Seeing that her fetal image was stable, she didn't worry too much.
However, Brother Qi's wife became pregnant not long after they got married. Ma was also very happy and went back to help take care of her health and household affairs.
The weather was getting colder and Huilan caught wind and fell ill. Sister Xin was frightened and took care of her day and night. It was the first time in her life that she saw her mother sick.
"Mother, why are you sick? Is there someone behind the scenes?"
Sister Xin doubts this very much.
Huilan shook her head, "We are no longer monks but mortals. It is normal for mortals to grow old, sick and die. There is nothing strange about it. Just take care of us for two days and we will be fine."
Her illness also made Li Chengze speed up his actions. He wrote a letter to ask his brother to come back and prepare for the prince's affairs. Seeing Huilan's illness made him more worried and fearful than before.
Brother Gan returned to the palace a month later. He had grown taller, darker and thinner.
"Mother, I came back late. Are you feeling better?"
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the wind blows. It's already gone. They made a fuss about it. Don't worry. My son has lost weight and is getting darker."
Huilan held her son's face and smiled happily.
"Mother, I went out to gain some knowledge. It was a worthwhile trip."
"That's good."
After God came back, he rested for a few days. Sister Xin called her to go to the princess's house to help her with some errands. When he saw the Zhao girl, she was specially called to let him have a look.
The Zhao girl had a calm and generous attitude. She probably thought there was little hope, so she didn't think too much about it. It was even less likely that she would fall in love at first sight. She just thought the person was very good-looking, and that was all.
On the other hand, Brother Qian thought it was pretty good, and later he saw girls from the Yang family and girls from the Wang family who were brought in under various excuses. After comparison, Brother Qian chose the girl from the Zhao family as his wife, saying that she had a more generous attitude and that it was rare for a girl to dislike him.
Those who don't admire him have an attitude that it doesn't matter if he doesn't choose her.
Sister Xin and Huilan said, "I said both mother and son chose the same thing."
"Call back to the palace and let me take a look."
"good."
In the afternoon, Kong Huilan was talking alone with Brother Gan, who came to treat An Ceng to dinner.
"Can you like the girl from the Zhao family? If you don't like it, just choose. The key is that you like it. What I thought before was not to be too tough, but to be gentle, so that we can be tolerant to each other.
