After meeting Ning Yirong, Duke Wei came to find Sisi.
After Sisi learned why the Duke of Wei had come to see her, she felt that her father-in-law was getting arrogant because he was about to abdicate.
Is the Duke of Wei lacking a wife? What he lacks is a good teacher who can turn his grandchildren back from the wrong path, isn't he?
Furthermore, selecting wives for officials could also be seen as a way to control their private lives.
Furthermore, men of Duke Wei's age and status generally prefer charming and cute young girls, but these girls are no match for the wicked and eccentric men in Duke Wei's household.
Should she choose a charming and lovely young girl for the Duke of Wei, or a shrewd and capable young woman?
Furthermore, even first-marriage couples have conflicts, and second-marriage couples have even more conflicts.
In short, unless there were other motives, choosing a wife for the Duke of Wei would definitely be a thankless and arduous task.
She was certain that her father-in-law had no other motives; he was simply feeling sorry for his old brother and had simply stopped thinking about stepping down.
So why did she want to find a wife for the Duke of Wei?
She didn't want to be disliked.
Duke Wei was heartbroken when he saw that Sisi didn't even ask him what he wanted after hearing his words. "Your Highness, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"Wait a minute. Marrying a wife is about fate, you can't rush it. But your grandchildren's affairs can't be delayed any longer. Your grandchildren will be out of mourning soon, right? If they are, shouldn't you hire two good tutors for them?"
"Sometimes, a teacher has a greater influence on children than their parents. I know a few good teachers; would you like me to introduce you to some?"
want!
The Duke of Wei bowed to Sisi. "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess. Your Highness, I am troubled by this matter." His sons are grown up and he can't change their ways anymore. His grandchildren are still young and he can still change their ways.
"Really? Then I'll let you know after I've spoken to them. By the way, I'll be very busy soon and may not have time to help you choose a wife. You can choose one yourself first, and once you've chosen one, just let me know, and I'll bestow a marriage upon you."
Duke Wei was initially reluctant to let Sisi help him choose a wife, but after Sisi said that the matter of his grandchildren was more urgent than his own marriage, Duke Wei suddenly felt that it was quite good to let Sisi help him choose a wife.
Duke Wei looked at Sisi with sincere eyes and said, "Your Highness, I am not in a hurry. You can help me choose when you have time. I chose my previous wife myself, and the result was... Your Highness, I am not in a hurry, really."
Sisi: "..." Wasn't what she just said obvious enough?
Fearing that Sisi would continue to refuse, Duke Wei quickly bowed and slipped away.
Sisi: "..." How did he end up blaming her? Isn't he afraid she'll find him a shrew?
On the other side, as soon as Duke Wei came out of the palace, he saw the old ministers whom the emperor had just summoned chatting by the roadside.
The Duke of Wei was a little puzzled. "Why are you still here?"
Several senior officials turned to look at the Duke of Wei upon hearing his voice. "We've been waiting for you."
"Wait for me? Do you want me to take care of your nephews and nieces? Don't worry, we've known each other for so many years?"
Several senior officials said in unison, "We are not here to ask you to take care of our children and nephews. We want to know what kind of wife the Crown Princess has chosen for you?"
Duke of Wei: "..." So, these old guys were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. "The Crown Princess said she wants to introduce some tutors to my grandson and granddaughter."
What?!
The senior officials immediately forgot about making a fool of the Duke of Wei.
Although the Crown Princess is fierce, she is very good at winning people's hearts. She has a group of capable people around her.
The tutor that the Crown Princess introduced to the Duke of Wei must also be a good tutor.
“Brother Wei, I have a very clever grandson. When the new teacher arrives, I’ll have him study at your house.”
“Brother Wei, I have a very bright granddaughter. When the new teacher arrives, I will let her come to your house to study with your granddaughter.”
"guard……"
"Stop!" Duke Wei glanced at the old ministers. "The reason the Crown Princess introduced a tutor to my grandchildren is because they are disappointing. What are you all doing here? Your grandchildren are so promising."
Don't you want to be even more ambitious?
"guard……"
"Stop! I'm already so old and I can't even go home and be a patriarch, that's bad enough. The Crown Princess is so pitiful, she's introduced me to two tutors, so don't try to steal them from me. I have something to do, I'll be going now. You two can continue your conversation."
After saying this, the Duke of Wei hurriedly left. He knew his own family's situation best; his grandchildren's problems weren't simply a matter of poor academic performance.
Several senior officials: "..." You call that miserable? We went from being important court officials to being idle old men, that's what's miserable, okay?
Several senior officials wanted to arrest the Duke of Wei and give him a beating.
"Do you think the Crown Princess is trying to make it up to him?"
"Definitely, he's just waiting to marry a tigress."
"Yes. We'll each give him an abacus then. That way, he won't have to buy one when his wife makes him kneel on it."
"Yes, give him an abacus each."
...
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Gou Dan and his group are still more than a hundred miles away from the capital.
Xie Fugui would glance at the pedestrians on the roadside every now and then.
Seeing that he had looked at it more than thirty times, Wei Cheng'er asked, "Grandpa Xie, what are you looking at?"
"Why do they all look like they've found gold?"
Wei Cheng'er was also a little puzzled, so she looked over at Gou Dan.
Gou Dan ruffled Wei Cheng'er's little bun. "The Emperor is about to abdicate. When a new Emperor ascends the throne, taxes are usually reduced."
