Chapter 369: Everyone Wants Zhao Lingmeng to Find a Prince Consort
Zhao Ling dreamed that her three sons all supported her decision, and she felt even happier. Although she wouldn't listen to them if they opposed her, having three sons with normal values was not as gratifying as having them.
"Mom is very satisfied with the performance of you three today." Zhao Lingmeng believes that satisfaction should be expressed, so she should praise what should be praised.
Zhao Houjing and the other two were delighted to hear their mother wipe her tears with a handkerchief and praise them. They were even more willing to let Doctor Ma join their ancestral hall. After all, their ancestral hall was empty and spacious.
"So, do you want to pick an auspicious date? Do you want to have a big banquet?" Zhao Anwei saw that their mother and daughter had already decided, so he didn't say anything annoying. Instead, he asked about the process.
After all, in the eyes of people like Zhao Anwei, opening and entering an ancestral hall is a major event and should be celebrated with great fanfare.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to go through so much trouble, but she suddenly remembered that in five days, the envoys sent by Longling Kingdom for peace talks would enter Yuanjing, and she felt that day would be a good day.
"Let's do it in five days! I think Doctor Ma will definitely enjoy that day. Then I'll have someone carry the memorial tablet around Beijing, and I'll post a message for everyone."
"Five days later?" Zhao Anwei didn't react at first and was a little confused.
"Second uncle, think about it, who will come in five days? Mother will let me hold the tablet and parade through the streets then!" Zhao Houyang felt that he was now looking forward to it.
Zhao Anwei smiled in sudden realization, "Now that you mention it, it will indeed be a good day. And to be honest, Doctor Ma might actually like that day."
"Mom, I can go too."
"mother"
Zhao Lingmeng saw that her other two sons also looked like they wanted to go, so she quickly interrupted them and said, "Alright, let Zhao Houyang go! Doctor Ma left his medical books to Yang'er, so he's the right person to go."
"Then I'll help my mother write the invitation." Zhao Houjing is also trying hard to win favor.
Zhao Houming didn't care about these things anymore, thinking they were a bit childish. He now considered himself a real man. So he said generously, "When the time comes, my brother and I will help mother entertain the guests."
Zhao Anwei looked at his sister's three sensible sons. He didn't say who envied him. He could only find another topic: "I suddenly remembered that this is the first time you have held such a grand banquet since you were promoted to the eldest princess."
"If this wasn't a special case, I wouldn't want to make a big deal about it, mainly because it would be troublesome!" Zhao Lingmeng was really afraid of trouble, and she had to take care of all aspects at that time.
When Zhao Anwei heard his younger sister say this, he immediately came up with a solution. "I'll go back later and tell my mother about this. I'll ask her to come and help you, and I'll ask my wife to come and help as well."
Zhao Lingmeng wanted to give her second brother, this straight man, a slap in the face. "Forget about Mom. She's old and can't bear the strain. I still have Nanny Sun in my house! Nothing will happen to her.
As for the second sister-in-law, you should go back and ask her opinion first. If she doesn't want to, you can't force her. It's not easy for the second sister-in-law to marry you! "
After hearing what his younger sister said, Zhao Anwei realized that what he had just said was a bit inappropriate. He immediately touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I just got back! My brain hasn't recovered yet, so please don't bother with me."
Zhao Lingmeng rolled her eyes at Zhao Anwei and said, "I don't want to be the bad guy! I'll let my second sister-in-law deal with you when the time comes!"
"Hahaha, that's impossible. My wife loves me so much! She won't bear to deal with me, your second brother." When Zhao Anwei mentioned his wife, his face was full of happiness, and Zhao Lingmeng felt it was unbearable to look at it.
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Zhao Houming said in a taunting tone, "Second uncle, please restrain yourself. Everyone present here has no wives or husbands."
Zhao Anwei glared at Zhao Houming when he heard this, then looked at his younger sister curiously, "Little sister, you really don't plan to find another one? If you don't, you'll be bored once these brats get married."
However, Zhao Anwei said this in a joking tone.
"I don't mind, but the main thing is that I don't have anyone suitable. If they're too young, I really can't do it. Raising three sons is tiring enough for me. I don't want to raise another one.
Yuan Jing is about my age. Is there anyone else who has a good family background, good character, ability, and good looks, and is still unmarried? "
Zhao Lingmeng really didn't mean to refuse to find a prince consort, it's just that there was no suitable person, and it was like this in both of her lives.
Zhao Anwei listened to Zhao Lingmeng's conditions, and every time she said one, Zhao Anwei felt his heart tremble. When Zhao Lingmeng finished, Zhao Anwei was completely desperate. "Okay, you'd better stay single!"
"Second uncle, I have a candidate."
As soon as Zhao Houyang said this, everyone at the scene looked over.
Zhao Anwei was even more incredulous, "Do you have a candidate?"
Zhao Houyang nodded hurriedly, "Really, really, it completely meets mother's requirements."
Zhao Houming was very excited and curious. He really wanted his mother to find a son-in-law. They were all grown up and would become officials in the future. He was really worried that his mother would be bored at home alone.
Zhao Houjing didn't want his mother to look for him again. If he were to explain the reason, he could give a lot of reasons, but he also knew that those selfish thoughts should not be expressed out loud. So he kept silent and looked at Zhao Houyang.
He couldn't understand his two younger brothers at the moment. They usually fought for favor like a pair of cock-eyed roosters, but they could happily accept their mother's search for a prince consort. He wanted to split his two younger brothers' brains apart to see what they were thinking.
Zhao Houyang and Zhao Houming had no idea that their elder brother had already complained about them many times in his mind.
"Just Fan Yong, Mr. Fan, does it meet mother's requirements?"
As soon as Zhao Houyang said this, Zhao Anwei and Zhao Lingmeng were stunned for a moment. They both didn't expect that this little guy would actually find someone who meets the requirements.
The more Zhao Anwei thought about it, the more he felt that this Lord Fan was the prince consort that God had arranged for his younger sister. "Little sister, what do you think?"
Zhao Lingmeng was truly impressed by them. "Don't bother Master Fan anymore. He wants to dedicate his life to serving the great men of Jing State. How could he be willing to come to my small house and be a son-in-law?"
"Mom, there's a saying that goes, 'A life-saving favor requires a life-saving favor!' Why don't you go and save Lord Fan?" Zhao Houyang said as he blinked at Zhao Lingmeng.
He almost asked Zhao Lingmeng to ask Lord Fan to repay his life-saving grace.
Zhao Lingmeng felt that she would be even more speechless at this moment. "No chance. Don't even think about it."
"There's really no chance of saving Lord Fan. Lord Fan is quite formidable. Xiao Yang'er, your idea won't work." Zhao Anwei didn't know that his younger sister had already saved Fan Yong. He even patted Zhao Houyang's shoulder to comfort him.
