But this time, what these people said unfortunately came true.
His Highness Fu Yan was forced to continue to be involved in family affairs and to be a matchmaker...
After all, these people couldn't discuss in advance and submit a unified list, so she did almost nothing all day and just received court officials.
In general, the civil officials preferred Qing Weilai because they liked his gentle personality, while the military officials preferred Huo Nan and Zhao Kuangyin, especially Zhao Kuangyin.
Qing Wei didn't like this. She liked Sun Wuniang in her heart, so she declined the others. She didn't give in to Huo Nan and Zhao Kuangyin for the time being.
After meeting up with Huo Qijing in the afternoon, she complained, "I haven't done anything all day, and everyone comes to me to propose marriage! One person proposes marriage to two families! It's okay for civil officials, but military officials come to me too!"
Huo Qijing smiled and said, "Some people have come to me, and I asked them to come to you. I was afraid that you had already agreed to someone, and I didn't know about it."
"I thought so!" Yan Shiyue glared at him, "But this is too crazy, isn't it? Aren't these people usually very reserved? Besides, they are all female families, why do they all come in person and even save the official media!"
Qu Sinian smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you really don't know why?"
She asked, "Hmm?"
...
...
"Because of you!" Qu Sinian said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, in the capital, disciples are not that valuable. But since you said it yourself, Miss Tang is like your daughter, then aren't they your sons? Then isn't your 'giving her a dowry and supporting her' the same? As for 'not taking concubines', the man's family will naturally have to consider it a lot, but it is a rare good news for the woman's family."
He paused for a moment and said, "Being able to marry His Royal Highness Fu Yan and Duke Rong, with a generous betrothal gift and no concubines, how could one not rush to pursue such a good marriage?"
Yan Shiyue suddenly realized: "Yes!"
"Speaking of which," Qu Sinian said with a smile, "If your little disciple hasn't proposed marriage yet, Sinian would really like to marry her, but he won't take a concubine. Is that okay?"
Yan Shiyue looked back at Chu Ningyuan with a smile: "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Chu Ningyuan: "..."
These two are really a perfect couple, really.
But Qu Sinian is also very handsome, a minister of the Ministry of Revenue... Naturally, he is much better than a mere captain like him.
Poor him, he even thought of a name for his child.
Everyone went home, changed their clothes and had dinner as usual. After dinner, Qu Sinian and Gu Hengsha were reporting today's events to her when they saw Jia He quietly asked Chu Ningyuan to leave.
Qu Sinian whispered to her: "Prime Minister, you are such a dishonest person."
"Don't worry!" Yan Shiyue said with a smile, "You still have a chance. To me, civil foxes and martial foxes are both foxes. I don't like them very much, so there's not much difference."
Chu Ningyuan followed Jiahe to the small hall in the inner room.
Jia He turned around and left. Chu Ningyuan walked around the screen and saw a young lady in a lilac floral skirt sitting in an armchair embroidering something. When she heard him come in, she didn't even look up and said, "Master, wait a minute! I'll be done soon."
Chu Ningyuan looked at her with a smile.
The girl was fair and well-behaved, and she was very skillful at her work. She worked on every stitch without hesitation, and her drooping eyelashes trembled like a small fan.
She embroidered a few stitches, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, okay, Master, why do you want to embroider a fox?" As she spoke, she bit off the thread and raised her head.
Then she froze.
Chu Ningyuan saluted quickly: "Mrs. Tang, I, Chu Yao, greet you."
Tang Xiu was at a loss: "Why... No, I mean, did my master ask you to come?"
"Yes," Chu Ningyuan raised his head with a smile, "Don't panic, young lady, it was His Highness who asked me to come here."
Tang Xiu's ears were red with embarrassment, but she managed to hold it together and returned the greeting in a proper manner: "Mr. Chu is polite."
He asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
She paused for a moment and said softly, "I think I saw it at the Meng family embroidery workshop."
Chu Ningyuan felt relieved instantly.
So that's how it is. She had seen him before! So she didn't have to worry about being snatched away by Qu Sinian!
Then he began to think carefully. He had a good memory, and suddenly he remembered: "So that's it. My mother and I went there to order an embroidered dress. It was woven by Miss Tang, right?"
Tang Xiu responded in a low voice. He bowed and said, "Chu Xiaolang, please go back."
Chu Ningyuan nodded secretly in his heart.
This girl doesn't look like she comes from a poor family. She is smart, clever and knows when to act.
He was pleased in his heart and said, "Chu Yao has something else to say. Young lady, the fox your master asked you to embroider...I wonder if you can give it to Chu Yao?"
Tang Xiu refused without hesitation: "No, this belongs to my master."
Chu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment, then he wanted to laugh, and said with his hands folded: "Young lady, what I mean is that your teacher doesn't want this fox, she just wants to tease me... If you are interested, give me this fox, and I will send someone to propose marriage when I return."
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment, blushing, and looked at him secretly. Chu Ningyuan stretched out his hand: "I won't lie to you."
Tang Xiu hesitantly dismantled the flower shed and held it in his hand: "Really?"
Chu Ningyuan felt a little frustrated. Why did he feel that this young lady liked her master more than him? He said firmly, "Yes!"
Tang Xiu then handed him the handkerchief. Chu Ningyuan took it, bowed with a smile, and walked out.
Toujia and Yaoyao were standing outside the door and made a congratulatory gesture to him.
Chu Ningyuan walked into the hall with a cheerful face and said goodbye to Huo Qijing. Qu Sinian looked at Yan Shiyue with resentment.
Yan Shiyue chased them away: "Alright, we can talk about it another day, you all go back and have a rest."
Qu Sinian and Gu Hengsha said goodbye and left. Yan Shiyue then called Qing Weile over and told her about Sun Wuniang in detail. Qing Weile said, "It's all up to Master's wife."
"Okay." Yan Shiyue asked Huo Nan, "Anan, I have several people who like you."
Huo Nan stood up and said, "Master's wife, I only like Wei Bo."
"Okay." Yan Shiyue looked at Ren Dong and Zhao Kuangyin again.
Then she suddenly realized that after receiving so many visitors in one day, no one proposed to Ren Dong! I'm afraid they were concerned about the tattoo on Ren Dong's face.
She immediately gave up the idea of talking to Zhao Kuangyin: "You little ones, wait a moment, until the unfinished business is settled."
But she overlooked the extent of their popularity.
The next day, many officials who discovered that "this is actually possible" continued to come to the Ministry of Revenue to find her.
Yan Shiyue was a person who always wanted to solve problems immediately, and she was simply fed up with it.
So she agreed to the Chu family first and solved one problem.
He went to find Sun Xuancheng again and made an appointment with him, asking Madam Sun to bring Sun Wu Niang to the Prince of Chengping's Mansion for tea. At the same time, the family that proposed marriage to Zhao Kuangyin, the wife of General He Jingsi of the Longwu Army, also brought her aunt to have tea. Then Qing Weile and Zhao Kuangyin were all packed up and went over to receive them.
Judging from their expressions in the evening, they must have been very satisfied.
Then Yan Shiyue didn't have to worry about anything, Meng Min helped her send off the official matchmaker and proposed marriage to both families.
If both parties agreed, the deal would be settled.
Yan Shiyue finally had some time to sit in the Ministry of Revenue.
