He Zhuo personally helped her up: "Don't worry, I will definitely find you good husbands and will not treat you badly. You are my dowry. You can marry a guard, a minor official, or a scholar's wife. Think it over carefully and talk to the others about it."

Donghui wanted to refuse again.

He Zhuo stopped Dong Hui from speaking, "Don't rush to answer. We'll think about it carefully. Also, see if there are any useful maids among us. See if we can bring out a couple."

Donghui served Hezhuo from the time he returned to the Irgen Gioro Mansion when he was 7 years old. She served him the longest and was the oldest. Although she was a bit shrewish, she was efficient, good at combing hair, and considerate.

It's really not easy to find such a considerate maid in such a short time; let's train her slowly.

The next day, the three maids who had accompanied her to the wedding knelt before He Zhuo and said they would not marry. Chunfen was still young, and He Zhuo wanted to keep her for a few more years.

He Zhuo comforted them a few times, telling them to think things through in a few days before replying. He also said that they wouldn't be getting married immediately, but would have to wait until after leaving the palace to have a grand and glorious wedding.

Before we knew it, the talent show had reached its most crucial moment: the selection process had begun.

When her mother went to the palace again to inquire about her son He Zhuo's fifth brother's marriage, she knew that her son's request was somewhat excessive.

He Zhuo retorted directly, telling him that all the imperial concubines were dignified, without birthmarks or unusual odors, and in good health. However, details such as whether they had moles, how many moles they had, and the size of their feet were only known to the emperor, and even the four imperial concubines could not see them.

Mother knew this was putting people in a difficult position, so she stopped talking about it.

He Zhuo said to find someone with a good family background and good looks. He said that if they could find someone, they would at most check their temperament, but a person's temperament is not fixed.

Simply put, I've helped you choose the items, and if you're not satisfied later, you can't blame me.

However, as her own sister, He Zhuo will definitely do her best.

Finally, Lady Irgen Gioro stated according to her own requirements: family background is not a factor, either Manchu or Han bannermen are acceptable, and it would be best if the family had no messy affairs.

Fifth Brother is in poor health, and Mother feels sorry for him and doesn't want him to worry about his wife's family in the future.

Above-average looks are fine; a gentle and considerate personality, someone who knows how to take care of others, is preferable.

He Zhuo told Consort Hui about this matter, and Consort Hui directly gave He Zhuo a portion of the roster of the Han Army Banner.

The reason why some of the children were given to daughters of minor officials or illegitimate daughters of prominent families is because the better ones were out of reach, and the fifth brother had no official rank and was already quite old.

Although Khoja felt that her fifth brother was in his prime, he had only just reached the minimum age for marriage in Khoja's first life.

Unfortunately, most Manchus married young.

He Zhuo looked around and found a few families that matched what his mother had said, but he didn't know what their personalities were like, and if they were outstanding in appearance, they might be registered or even enter the harems of the imperial relatives.

Because of this, Hezhuo has been staying in the palace for the past few days, while the children and Yinzhi are in the garden.

He Zhuo narrowed it down to several families, and even personally met with each of them by chance before relaying the news back to the manor. The choice was now up to his mother; He Zhuo was merely a messenger.

In the end, the mother chose the daughter of a seventh-rank military officer, whose family held a position in Shengjing.

Although she was the daughter of a military officer, she was gentle and kind, and in good health. As the eldest daughter, she had taken care of several younger brothers since childhood. Her family belonged to the Han Banner Army.

When my mother sent someone to propose marriage after the selection, she was quite surprised. After all, our family is a large clan. Although my father was dismissed from his official post, our foundation was still intact. My brothers had all risen to prominence. My sixth brother was a newly appointed third-ranked scholar and had a high-ranking wife in the palace.
