The talent show is a major event in the Eight Banners.

How many Eight Banners daughters are going to the palace through talent shows or go to the residences of major princes and princes in the capital. The families with girls in the capital are all busy all of a sudden.

Some people who have some relationships have shameless faces to come to the palace to pay their respects, wanting to choose a good son-in-law among the marriageable royal family, begging the palace master to point out the marriage; if they have nothing to do, they will try to hire a nanny for their daughter, teach rules, and jump to the branch to be a phoenix.

Although there is no candidate for the Cao family’s Western Prefecture, the fourth sister and Wuer of the East Prefecture are the right age.

Outsiders pay attention to "marrying daughters from high families and marrying women from low families", but the Eight Banners Selection focuses on the origin. Whether the father and grandfather are noble, whether the legitimate family is born from the illegitimate family, the future is different.

It was not until this time that Zhao Jia regretted the fact that she proposed to separate the family, which caused her family to surrender and affected her biological daughter's marriage.

But it’s too late to say that I regret it now, so I have to find another way.

Zhao Jia was not qualified to enter the palace, but she had a cousin Thirteenth concubine who could say something in front of the empress dowager.

Since she found out about the October "trial" news, she couldn't sit still and took a bus to Prince Yi's mansion.

Prince Yi's mansion is still in the old mansion in Jinyu Hutong. The main gate and main hall were rebuilt by the Interior Ministry, and the left and right mansions were merged into it. It was no longer the scene in the past.

Zhao Jia looked at the towering gate and felt a little hesitant.

Although I am not distant from this cousin, I am not too close to me. Today, I came to visit me directly without submitting a post in advance. It was really abrupt.

She asked someone to submit a post to the doorman. The doorman heard that he was a relative of the concubine, so he did not dare to neglect him and asked someone to report to the mansion.

Now the Thirteenth Prince is valued by the emperor, and Prince Yi's mansion is crowded with people, and "relatives" come to the door every day. Although the gatekeeper looks down on these people, he does not dare to neglect them.

The Thirteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince have always been gentle to others, and are very polite and considerate to the "relatives" they are now attached to. They are also afraid of offending villains and ruining their reputation in vain.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, two deli nannies beside Fujin went out to greet him personally, and welcomed Zhaojia's carriage to the second gate before she led her down.

Seeing that they were well-dressed, Zhao Jia hurriedly asked someone to stuff two purses over.

While speaking, Zhao Jia had already passed the second family with the two mothers and arrived at the residence of the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Concubine happened to see off the guests and welcomed Zhao Jia in.

Seeing that the Thirteenth Concubine treated people and things as before, she did not feel overwhelmed because of the Prince of Concubine, Zhao Jia's originally nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Zhaojia and Thirteenth Concubine were a teenager apart, and they had no contacts earlier because they were from all over the world. It was only after the Cao family moved into Beijing that their relationship became slightly closer.

Although Zhao Jia has some minor problems, in the eyes of Thirteenth Concubine, she still respects this cousin very much.

After all, when the Thirteenth Prince was in trouble, this cousin did not avoid it like others. In addition, with Cao Yong's relationship, the Thirteenth Prince was willing to help the matters of the Cao family.

"It is related to the marriage of my nieces. Is it possible that my sister has something in her heart? "The Thirteenth Concubine asked when she heard her cousin tell her purpose.

"Miss Fifth Girl is good, so I don't have to worry about it. My fourth sister and I have learned the best cooking skills and rules, but I am not very good at being the most beautiful person in the palace. If you want to leave the sign and hand over your marriage, you will lose your dignity and it is better to point out the marriage in the palace. I am a woman in the deep house, but I don't know who is who, and I have to bother my sister to help me with my palms." Zhao Jia said.

The Thirteenth Princess knew that the fourth sister was her legitimate young daughter, and it was normal for her to prefer it. She smiled and said, "Sister is too humble. Although the fourth sister is not stunning, she is also pretty and charming. People in the royal family choose their daughter-in-law, but they are still virtuous and honest."

People in the world marry women and make it a big deal to reproduce children.

The fourth sister, Xiao Mu, is tall and fit, which is exactly the appearance of Yi Nan. Although her father died early, this is a shortcoming. The three brothers have all become officials, and their cousin is still uncle, which can be considered as a way to make up for some shortcomings.

Since Emperor Taizong began to enthrone the royal family, there have been hundreds of princes and nobles in the capital. It is not difficult for the fourth sister to refer to a similar family.

When Zhao Jia saw that the Thirteenth Prince had the intention to answer, she was very happy and said, "If this is the case, it will be Amitabha!"

The Thirteenth Concubine smiled and said, "If my sister has a family that she thinks is suitable, she will ask for information first. It is better than a blind marriage and a dumb marriage. There are still two or three months left to know the roots and bottom. This time, there are many children of the royal family who are suitable for marriage, otherwise the queen would not have issued a general election."

Zhao Jia hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Without a family like ours, we have the qualifications to choose relatives... But my sister also knows that our fourth sister is a legitimate child, so it is hard to let the illegitimate child compete!"

When the Thirteenth Concubine heard this, she remembered the allusion of the Cao family and said, "Sister, although your third aunt is a concubine, she is raised in the name of Mrs. Li. I remember that your third aunt was not of high title in her early years. She could use the light of Mrs. Li to inherit the Duke's Mansion."

Zhao Jia said embarrassedly: "I dare not look forward to the Prince's Mansion Beile Mansion. If I can enter Beizi Mansion, it is best for the Duke's Mansion."

The Thirteenth Concubine was stunned when she heard this.

Although the Cao family has already raised the flag, they are Han people after all, and they are the main branches of the royal family and royal family. In order to maintain a pure bloodline, they often ask for a noble Manchu daughter.

It is easy to be a wife like the fourth sister of the Cao family who is not high or low, and it is easy to be a concubine's wife in the royal family and Beile Mansion, but her husband's title is not too high. Most of them are generals of the state or generals of the state.

Seeing that the Thirteenth Princess did not speak, Zhao Jia said, "Did you make your sister embarrassed?"

The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said, "Marriage is a good match for two surnames. Even if I can hand over my niece in the palace, the other party will be willing to marry her, otherwise it would not be a marriage, but a grudge. It is not difficult for the niece to point to a better family, but it is impossible to be a legitimate wife."

Zhao Jia heard this and remained silent.

Although she wanted her daughter to marry well, she was not happy to be a side room.

After living for half her life, she naturally knew that the difference between her wife and concubines was different. Losing a title was not only a matter of one person, but also implicating the children and became concubines.

Seeing her expression changing, the Thirteenth Concubine said, "This is a big event that concerns my niece for the rest of her life. Nowadays, several nephews have a promising future and do not need to find a good family and be a good friend. My sister should still think carefully. When will she make up her mind and come over and talk to me."

My in-laws are just idle royal family members who are awarded the title of general, and they know the idle royal family members Zhao Jia. If they have a promising prospect, they will have a chance to be promoted in the future. If they are just as talented and have such a low title, they will have a difficult time living at home, and they are not as decent as the butler of the royal family in Beijing.

She felt confused and couldn't make up her mind. She squeezed out a little and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and discuss with the children, and come and see my sister in a few days."

The Thirteenth Prince originally wanted to keep guests, but at this moment, two groups of female relatives had already arrived waiting in the side hall, so they did not leave Zhao Jia, and asked the two nannies to see them off...

The purpose of these visitors is similar to that of Zhaojia.

But what was mentioned earlier was his niece. The Thirteenth Concubine was willing to accept it. The latter were "distant relatives" that they had clinged to. Although the Thirteenth Concubine listened with a smile, she only listened without a single word.

What annoyed her the most was that someone was blinded and even had the idea of ​​her eldest son, and praised her daughter as a flower, and wanted to marry her inside and outside.

Her eldest son, Hong Tung, was born with a deficiency and was now recuperating in a village outside the city. She and her husband had already spoken out that Hong Tung should not marry him early, and he would have to talk about his marriage in two years.

After seeing off a series of female guests, the Thirteenth Concubine couldn't help but complain to her husband during dinner.

The Thirteenth Prince heard it with a smile, and did not say anything about these parents' trivial matters; however, when the Thirteenth Prince mentioned the fourth sister of the Cao family, he asked: "The fourth girl of the Cao family is really the one who is suitable for raising her as the concubine said?"

The Thirteenth Concubine nodded and said, "That's right, the last time I saw her was the last year, and the nanny around me said."

"If you have a good personality, should you decide for Hong Ting and let them get married in two years?" said the Thirteenth Prince.

When the Thirteenth Concubine heard this, she was frightened, raised her head suddenly and said, "Master, Hong Tsu is the eldest son of the master?"

The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said, "Even if I don't talk about the fourth girl of the Cao family, I will not find a prominent Yue family for Hongxia. Not only Hongxia, but Hongxia will do the same in the future."

The Thirteenth Concubine was smart, but when she thought about it, she understood her husband's intention.

The Thirteenth Prince is already the Prince of Affairs. If he builds two prominent Yue families for his two older legitimate sons, even if he does not have the suspicion of forming a clan, he will still have the power to form a clan, and he may be afraid of being jealous of the emperor.

Having said that, he is the eldest daughter-in-law and will become the mistress of the royal family in the future. As an aunt, the Thirteenth Prince likes her niece; as a mother-in-law, it is not enough to lose her father in childhood.

She smiled and said, "Although the Cao family has separated, no one knows that Cao Yong's elder brother is like his father, and he is very careful when his cousins ​​take care of him. If the two families are married, if the emperor thinks too much, it will be unbeautiful."

The Thirteenth Prince thought about it and said, "As soon as I said it, it is inappropriate, so I will pay attention to the other person next to me..."

Northwest, Ganzhou.

In a blink of an eye, Cao Yong had arrived in Ganzhou for half a month. After two days of rest in the barracks, he took Tianyou, Hongpu, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to inspect the military camp.

Because of the several military camps, not far apart, they had already patrolled three or four places in ten days.

Because it supplies military supplies, most of the military camps are mainly wheat and sorghum. Because it is a place with abundant water and soil, the crops are growing considerably.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Yue Zhongqi sent someone to the military camp to pick up Cao Yong and others back to the camp to celebrate the festival.

The military camp was harsh, so Cao Yong did not take his luck and took everyone back to Ganzhou to celebrate the festival.

It is cold outside the border, and frost has already fallen around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cao Yongben was worried that Hongpu and Tianyou could not stand it, but he didn't expect that these two young men would have a lot of solid body after these days of running around.

Not only did he not get sick, he followed Yongqing's butt to practice riding and archery every time after returning to his station in Ganzhou.

Seeing the gloom on Hongpu's body dissipating a lot, Cao Yong was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Hongpu grew up in the prince, and he was either a eunuch, a palace maid or a nanny. His yin was strong and yang was weak, and he had no kind mother's care. It would be strange if a child could grow up healthily. At a young age, he was full of darkness, which is really a pity.

Cao Yong was so happy that he couldn't laugh.

On August 14th, Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, arrived in Ganzhou.
