Chapter 364
"Cousin, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, Kang Jierong flashed out, smiling purely and kindly.
Nianfu looked back at her, "Why are you here?"
Kang Jierong showed a little sadness, looked at her, then looked at the servant next to her, and she still wanted to speak.
Nianfu ordered people to go down and take her into the house, "What's wrong?"
Kang Jierong said softly, "Grandmother wants her brother to sign up, but her brother disagreed and was punished to kneel down again."
Nianfu was speechless. What happened to this old aunt Kang? Didn’t my father refuse it completely last time? Why didn’t they give up?
However, looking at the look of help in Kang Jierong's eyes, Nianfu said, "I'm sorry, this is your family matter, and it's not convenient for me to ask about it."
Although she sympathized with the innocent Kang Shoujing, Nianfu was not so impulsive that she wanted to fight for this injustice. If she really went, that was what she said to Old Aunt Kang.
Hearing her say this, a strange color flashed in Kang Jierong's eyes. However, she lowered her head, covered it up very well, and sighed, "Actually, it's really not easy for brother. I always thought that it would be great if he could marry a good sister-in-law and come back to help him."
Well, you have to work harder than a group of people in the Kang family, otherwise you can only be a suffocator like Kang Shoujing? Nianfu said, "It is also a blessing for your brother to have this heart. If you have time, you can talk to him in front of your elders."
Kang Jierong couldn't take the words, and paused and said, "Actually, I think there is no need for my brother to be so obedient sometimes. If he can be a little bad or disobedient, he may suffer less."
Nianfu said, "Since you know, why not persuade him?"
Finally, it was time to get to the point. Kang Jierong opened her eyes wide and had an incredible expression, "But I am his own sister. If I advise him, wouldn't he have to go against his grandmother and parents? Why don't you help me persuade him?"
Nianfu doesn't go. She is not idle and moldy, so why should she find something for herself? And even if that's the case, can Kang Shoujing really become bad?
He was not protected by his biological parents, and he was carrying a big bag like Old Aunt Kang and his second uncle and second aunt. He really fell into the ashes. He could not throw it away, nor could he touch it. Unless Kang Shoujing dared to take on the charge of disobedience and unfiliality and went out to make trouble, but in that case, even if he could live a happy life, his reputation for this life would be completely over.
Seeing that Nianfu couldn't speak any more, Kang Jierong had no choice but to talk about her again and then went back.
Nianfu, who was idle, went to break the threshold again. Why didn’t that kid Ouyang Kang come to propose marriage yet?
My daughter was anxious, and the mother also got angry.
He scolded the child's father unhappily. "You are the same, what's the bad way? He just made this method. If the boy from the Ouyang family fails the exam, look back and see how your daughter is anxious about you!"
Mu Shaoqin was more than a guarantee from his daughter, so he was very calm, "My daughter is not such an ignorant person. Besides, if he fails the exam, he is not capable of himself. He can't blame others."
"Do you really think your daughter is so good-tempered? Let me tell you the truth, if you don't find a way to make Ouyang Kang win, your daughter will definitely be with you! By the way, will the Ouyang family come to register?"
The servant replied, "Not yet, the princess has been asking."
"See you? See you!" Hui Niang said anxiously, "Why send someone to inform the Ouyang family?"
"How could he not know about such a big news?" Mu Shaoqin continued to be as stable as a rock. "If he didn't even have the courage to sign up, he wouldn't have to think about it anymore."
"I am really in a hurry to meet you, a slow doctor! No matter you, I'll see my daughter."
When Hui Niang left, Mu Shaoqin frowned slightly, showing a hint of calmness. That kid wouldn't be really hit by the previous few applicants, and he didn't even have the confidence to register, right?
If he really doesn't come, will his daughter blame himself for his whole life? Mu Shaoqin is a little unstoppable, but if Chai Rong hadn't taken ten thousand taels of gold to ask Gao Xian to protect the media, would he have made such a bad move?
Money is urgently needed by the emperor.
For disaster relief and reconstruction, disaster victim resettlement, the places that cost as much as the stars in the sky, 100,000 taels of silver are not enough, but it can indeed solve the temporary urgent problem.
The emperor really needs this money.
Do you really think that he is the most powerful person in the world when he becomes an emperor? Wrong! Whoever sits on the dragon throne will know what poverty is.
The trauma left by decades of war is impossible to heal with the reconstruction of the new dynasty. The capital seems prosperous, but a large amount of wealth has been hoarded with the war and a few wealthy merchants like Chai Rong, which has nothing to do with the emperor himself.
The government situation of the Daliang Dynasty was basically in losses in the first five years, and it has been investing in various ways, demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, barely maintaining the operation of the dynasty. By the time last year, the situation finally improved slightly, Gao Xian still thought that he could finally take a breath, but a snow disaster at the end of the year consumed the little money he had finally saved.
There was still war outside the pass. I had just negotiated an alliance with the Qiyan tribe and I was about to issue an official edict to the world, which meant that the Daliang Dynasty must support the Qiyan tribe.
If it is implemented, it will cost money.
Gao Xian needs money, but he is not as good as selling his cousin for 100,000 taels of silver. But Chai Rong is very smart and just asks him to protect the media. He can earn 100,000 taels of silver for nothing by selling face. How can he not be moved?
If you want to make this money, how can you make it without hurting your relatives' affection? Gao Xian thought about it for a few days and invited his uncle to discuss it.
Mu Shaoqin is a smart man, and he immediately realized the embarrassment of the emperor. However, he would not want to deal with his daughter with others, even if he did it for the sake of national justice.
The emperor originally proposed a solution. He came to protect the media first, and then asked Mu Shaoqin to give the excuse of being sick or to do rituals and pray for those who passed away from the Mu family, and refused this marriage.
But Mu Shaoqin had other ideas.
After thinking about it for several days, he wanted to take this excuse to seriously choose a husband for his daughter.
No matter who wants to apply for the exam, they must pass the public assessment, and in the end, of course, be admitted to the best. As long as Chai Rong is not a powerful existence, Mu Shaoqin always has a way to convince him in the middle. If he really can't get rid of it, it can only prove that this man is too strong, so Mu Shaoqin doesn't think there is anything wrong with marrying his daughter to him.
When he turned around and talked to the emperor, he hit it off immediately.
Gao Xian had long wanted to break the boundary between nobles and civilians. It was the same as having imperial examinations, and so was marriage.
Just so happened that the second prince Zhuo Ge, who came to form an alliance with the Qiyan tribe, also had the intention of marrying. Gao Xian was very arrogant and pushed out his two daughters directly.
He can marry, but he still has the initiative in his hands.
In fact, Concubine Xian and Changle were purely nervous. If Gao Xian agreed to marry the Federation, he would have agreed to it. His attitude at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year was already very clear, but the mother and daughter were not able to see through the situation and were still worried about the public recruitment for poverty, fearing that they would not be able to live in the Federation. However, now they are more worried about marrying a civilian, but they don’t think about it. If there is really a poor and innocent young man who can be favored by Gao Xian, it would be a phoenix. What are you afraid of marrying such a person?
However, these words can only be understood, not expressed in words.
Gao Xian didn't say anything, but only handed over the choice of son-in-law to the queen and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so that they could worry.
However, compared with the three talents of Princess Jiashan, although the two princesses have more people to register, the quality is obviously far inferior.
It’s okay for Lin Huaian. Chai Rong and Gongsun Hong’s reputation is too great. One is rich enough to compete with a country, and the other is a young hero. No matter which one is a single, it is the absolute candidate for the princess. Now they are competing to be the county horses, so where can they put their faces?
Deqing is not bad, he has a gentle temperament. Even if he feels a little confused, he will pass by himself and persuade him, but Changle is not convinced.
"She is the princess, we are the princesses. Why can't we choose the candidates for registration first?"
Deqing couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "In terms of seniority, she is our aunt, and even if she chooses it, we have nothing to say."
"So what about aunt? This is a big event that will last a lifetime. Don't you want to choose a good husband?"
"So what can I do? If they were interested, they would have come to sign up early, but if they didn't come, what's the point of forcing them?" Although Deqing was a little sad, he still thought about the truth very clearly.
Ke Changle choked and said, "Even if we don't compare with our aunt, can't we compare with our sisters? Who did they marry before, but who are the people who are here to register now? Even the seventh and eighth rank officials are embarrassed to come over. I feel embarrassed to see it! Are you willing?"
Deqing was a little unfair, "But now, what can we do? Could it be that the father will take it back to life?"
"Of course it is impossible to take back the life, but we can always ask the father to select a few people with identities, right?"
Deqing was a little moved, and Changle pulled her, "Let's go find my father together, let's talk to you together. At the worst, I can cry again, and my father may not agree. You don't have a biological mother. If you don't fight for this kind of thing, it will be too late to get married."
Then - Deqing was still hesitating, so she dragged her to see Gao Xian together.
My daughter is a charming guest and she is going to choose a prince consort again. Even though she knows that they will give her a headache, Gao Xian still fulfilled her duties as a father and took the time to meet them in her busy schedule.
Changle pouted and started to spoil her coquettishly, "Father, you are so busy, you don't have time to pay attention to us. My sister has cried for several days, don't you know?"
Deqing's face froze. He knew that he was plotting against this sister again, but at this point, she could only stand up and say, "Father, not only my son minister, but even Changle is sad. He thinks you don't care about us anymore."
If you want to go into the water, just go down together, don’t think of using her alone as a gun.
Chang Le was a little embarrassed, but he didn't argue with her. The two sisters sang and said the grievances.
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I still think that what happened? It turns out that he thought the brother of the man who asked for marriage was inferior. So, look, these are suitable for your wishes?"
