154. Chapter 154 Taking the Opportunity



Not many people in the capital knew about him, so everyone started asking each other.

The atmosphere became uncontrollably lively.

When the Queen heard this, she quickly called Madam Qi in and asked, "Are they talking about your Xiaowu?"

"My lady, it sounds like Xiao Wu."

"How come I don't know such an outstanding person?"

"My queen, Xiaowu has been studying outside. After returning home, he went out to gain experience. He also went back to his hometown with me. He has not stayed in the capital for a long time."

"I see... go see where he is and bring him over for me to see! Oh, you've arranged a marriage for him?!"

"Yes, when I went to Tianlong Temple, I fell in love with a girl and decided to marry her."

"Is the girl here?"

"She probably didn't come. After all, she's an engaged woman, so it's not easy for her to go everywhere." Mrs. Qi said, feeling guilty: She went everywhere, but she didn't come here...

"What a pity!" No one knew what the queen felt sorry about.

Outside, the Tan family was surrounded, and everyone was asking about the fifth son of the Qi family... Yu Lang...

Xu Minghui was embarrassed because many people were asking her questions. Just as she was getting impatient, she was pulled to a corner. It was the relative from her mother's family who had entrusted her with the "job"...

"It didn't work out, why didn't you say anything!?"

"What are you talking about? I didn't agree to your request at that time! I just said I would help you take a look. Marriage is decided by parents, who can disobey it? What's there to say!"

Tan was laughing. She was friendly and at ease with the situation. "Don't ask! Our Wulang has already found a wife!"

There was a sigh all around...

"It was the eldest brother's wife who went back to her hometown and arranged it. I didn't even see the man! I was completely in the dark! I can't say anything even if I want to!"

"Oh, old lady, this is such a big matter. Even if I don't say that it is up to you to decide, at least you have to take the lead!"

"You little thing! I don't like to hear that. It's the parents who decide who to marry! No matter who they choose, just nod and say yes when you ask me. In this case, what does it matter if the government doesn't have a clear eye? Don't worry about her background, and don't worry about whether there is anyone better than her. It's really good for the children to be happy themselves!"

As a result, some people murmured in a low voice: "What kind of people are there in the capital? Why do you have to look for them outside?"

"I heard that when Xu Minghui first came into the family, Madam Qi was not happy about it, and she has been cold to her until now!"

"Humph, Cui Fengying's personality makes her obey no one! Let her find it herself, otherwise..."

"Madam Qi, there is no one that we can't get along with. Only her..."

Gossip spread everywhere.

Old Madam Wen and Yuan also got the news. They looked at each other and then looked away.

The hall at this time was not as quiet as before, but full of gossip, and some people gathered around the Wen family.

Old Mrs. Wen was excited...

As for Yuan Shi…originally, she could control a lot of things. But now…it’s all messed up.

what to do?!

"Is the old lady's Wen family a family that is married to the Qi family?" someone finally asked.

"Wen Huan, is the Miss Wen they are talking about your sister?" Someone came to see Wen Huan.

Wen Jiao suddenly relaxed her reserved attitude. Seeing that Wen Huan was slow to react, she took the initiative to talk to him, "She is my eldest sister. Wen Huan is my second sister, and I am the third!"

"I remember Wen Huan is the eldest daughter..."

Yuan saw that the situation was hopeless and felt blessed… If that was the case, why not take advantage of it?

He pulled Wen Huan and said only a few words, "This is an opportunity, don't miss it!"

So, the smile on Yuan's face was elegant and sincere: "You are talking about my eldest daughter... I have always been with my husband in his post. This marriage was arranged by mother! Mother loves Wenyu the most!"

Old Madam Wen was so satisfied that she was praised by everyone. She spoke with a kind face, "My son was personally selected as a Jinshi by the emperor at the age of 20. For so many years, he has been running around to repay the emperor's kindness. But he didn't care about his eldest daughter. I raised her by myself.

Although she is also very pretty, what I like most is that she is very filial! Although the family doesn't need her, she does a lot of chores for me.

She thought about everyone in the family. She would send her love during festivals, birthdays, etc.

She is very clever and good at making snacks, embroidering and painting. She is also very low-key and steady. She is really a good and proper child.

Sure enough, a good child means a good life. The Fifth Master Qi is so outstanding, it is her blessing!

But I have to say, she deserves it!"

Huh! Old lady Wen's toughness came up. If she wanted to move forward, she couldn't lower herself too much.

The Qi family has a high reputation! My son is a 20-year-old Jinshi, and his family is well-off, not bad! The fifth son of the Qi family is handsome and capable. My granddaughter is also good-looking and talented.

Wen Huan understood what her mother meant. She spoke softly and tenderly, "I have never seen what Master Qi Wu looks like. But my eldest sister is very pretty!"

"Better than you?!" someone asked.

Wen Huan hated her in her heart but smiled on her face: "Of course! You will know when you meet her later. And her talent is higher than mine! We sisters have different focuses. My sister's painting is quite amazing. I came to Beijing first, and I personally tidied up her yard, and she loves it very much." They looked like sisters with deep affection.

She praised Wen Yu and also praised herself at the same time.

After a while, the Queen Mother sent someone to let the Wen family in.

Yuan and Old Lady Wen looked at each other again! Don't mention the excitement in their hearts! Old Lady Wen looked at a few people and only told Wen Jiao: "Follow the greetings and talk less!"

Wen Jiao was so nervous that she swallowed several times.

Old Madam Wen looked anxious. On the surface, she wanted to pull her, but secretly pinched her. "Just do it like Second Sister."

Wen Huan was also nervous! She had never even seen a princess, and now she was going to meet the queen. Happiness came too suddenly, and she was not prepared.

But when I think of what my mother said just now, yes, this is an opportunity! I must seize it...

The whole family went in and kowtowed to the goddesses.

The queen was in a good mood at the moment, and she looked at the few people as if she were looking at a monkey.

A group of ladies and princesses were also looking at him.

No matter how these people pretended or how calm they were, they were obviously nervous.

But this is very natural, and the Queen Mother did not complain about it: considering her status, it would be strange if they were not nervous!

"The Wen family? Um..." The lady-in-waiting beside the queen whispered, "Wen Yu is not here?"

Old Madam Wen's voice was weak, "To reply to your Majesty, Wen Yu didn't come today."

"Oh." In fact, the queen just called them in to watch the fun and didn't want to say anything to them.

"What are the names of these two girls?!"

"This is my second granddaughter, Wen Huan, the third one in the order, and her name is Wen Jiao."

"Well. The surname Wen is indeed easy to name! If the surname is Zhang, and the name is Zhang Yu, Zhang Huan or something like that, it would lack the meaning!" I don't know what the queen wanted to express.

Everyone present laughed.

But Concubine Xiang was very unhappy. Her last name was Zhang! However, no one mentioned it for many years.

Your surname is your foundation. Can you just pick whatever surname sounds nice?

I don't know why she became the queen! Tan was there too, she looked at the Wen family with a smile. The four of them all had good clothes and jewelry! Moreover, there was no sense of disobedience, and they didn't dress up deliberately just to enter the palace. This showed that their family was not bad.

Watching Old Madam Wen stretch out her hand to introduce her family... that hand looked soft and slender.

I couldn't help but put it into my sleeve.

Madam Qi said to the Wen family, "Your Majesty, I haven't met Madam Wen yet!"

"Really?! This is interesting. My in-laws, I have to introduce them to you too! Madam Wen, this is your grandmother and mother-in-law!"

Yuan bowed calmly, "Madam Qi, Madam Qi!"

Tan smiled and said, "We will soon be a family, let's get closer in the future."

Old Mrs. Wen felt that Old Mrs. Qi was very approachable and had a very good impression of her.

The Queen saw Princess Wu smiling at Old Lady Wen and asked, "Do you recognize Princess Wu too?"

"My lady, I met the Wen family at the Tianlong Temple Dharma Assembly."

"Is Wen Yu pretty?"

"My lady, Miss Wen Yu is indeed pretty. Moreover, she is very tall. Wen Huan is also quite tall."

The queen nodded: "It's not low!"

Indeed, Wen Huan was considered tall among the girls present, and she had a good figure.

When Yuan and Wen Huan heard this, they realized that this was the Princess of Wu...

Wen Huan smiled sweetly and knelt down to pay her respects. "Your Majesty, I haven't grown much in the past six months! It seems that I have only grown this tall!"

The queen looked at Wen Huan sweetly and liked her in her heart: "That's enough, don't let it grow any longer. Otherwise, if you stand among the girls, it will be like a camel among the sheep, which will be meaningless!"

Everyone laughed again.

When Princess Wu saw how well-behaved Wen Huan was and how sweet her smile was, she couldn't help but think of the girl from the He family: small, with a small nose, small eyes, and a small mouth... and she was very dignified...

Although Wen Huan's looks and temperament cannot compare to Wen Yu, she is still a little sweeter than her.

During the Chinese New Year, I will invite the Wen family to come over and let my son take a look. If he is satisfied, I will make the decision immediately and don't let any more accidents happen...

Well, that’s the idea!

Princess Wu didn't know that there were many people outside who wanted to invite the Wen family to their home.

Many people also fell in love with Wen Huan. Even Wen Jiao, some people wanted to settle for second best...

The Wen family became the biggest beneficiary of the emperor's death.
