The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 22
Sure enough, when Concubine Zhang and Princess Changning came to pay their respects the next day, they mentioned Mu Xu's marriage.

"You also know that I don't like to go out in recent years, and I don't know any girls of the right age."

"It's good now, you mother has come back, you have to choose a suitable one for this child."

Princess Changning replied with a smile, "If mother doesn't tell me, I will take care of it."

"A few days ago, I wrote to his father specifically to see what he meant."

Concubine Zhang nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, our mothers can't just worry about this matter, Jing'er, a father, should also take care of it."

Princess Changning thought about her son, but she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, "It's just that I'm afraid that Xu'er has a girl he likes in his heart, and he might not be satisfied if we choose one for him."

Concubine Zhang was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and asked quickly,

"Xu'er has a girl he likes. When did it happen? Is this girl from Liaodong?"

Duke Changning shook his head, "It's not from Liaodong."

Concubine Zhang was surprised, "It's only been two months since he returned to Beijing, and he only went out a few times. What kind of girl can he meet? You must have made a mistake, right?"

"That's why I have some doubts. Mother, you know that Xu'er has been very independent since she was a child. I'm also afraid that I may make a mistake."

"Besides, he is the only one in our family. We must find someone who suits him, so as not to blame us in the future."

Hearing what Princess Changning said, Concubine Zhang nodded first, then paused and said, "You haven't said which girl it is, you really want to kill me."

Princess Changning saw that she was in a hurry, but she didn't want to tease her, "It's a girl from the Lin family."

"Miss of the Lin family, which Lin family?" Concubine Zhang thought for a long time, but she didn't think of any Lin family in the capital.

Princess Changning immediately told about Lin Daiyu's origin, and at the end she also said her guess.

"Mother also knows that when the average son of a family reaches the age of fifteen or sixteen, he will have his own family in the room."

Concubine Zhang nodded naturally.

Princess Changning continued, "I was in Liaodong before, because his father was strict with him and he had to practice martial arts every day, so I didn't mention it."

"When I arrived in the capital, I saw that the little girls my mother had arranged for him were all pretty good. I thought he should be enlightened."

"I asked Hongxiu to ask a few of them in private, but Xu'er didn't mean anything about it."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and continued,
"At first I thought he hadn't awakened yet, but who knew that when he came back from Rongguo Mansion that day, he asked me to arrange an imperial doctor to treat the girl from the Lin family."

"I've never seen him care so much about any girl in these years, but he hasn't mentioned it these days, so I'm a little undecided."

After listening to Concubine Zhang, she thought for a while and said, "Could it be that he was a little embarrassed when you mentioned it that day. After all, there are some young people who love each other and don't want others to know."

Princess Changning nodded and said, "I'm also afraid that he is like this, so I don't know what to do now. What if I make a mistake, I'm afraid that he really has a heart for the girl of the Lin family. A couple."

"You're right. He's the only one in our family, and he doesn't talk about the orders of the parents or the words of the matchmaker." Concubine Zhang also understood the difficulties of her daughter-in-law.

After thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this a horoscope?"

Then she spoke her mind,
"In this way, you should look at each other first, and don't make a big show of it. First, let's quietly inquire about which family has girls of the right age. After all, good girls are sought after by hundreds of families."

"As for this girl from the Lin family, how old is she now?"

Princess Changning replied, "Three years younger than Xu'er, thirteen this year."

"That is to say, there are still two years before Jiji, which is not too long." After finishing speaking, she continued the previous words, saying,

"So, didn't Xu'er say in Jia's mansion that you want to bring this girl to our mansion? You pick this girl up some other day and show me. We'll see Xu'er's reaction then."

Princess Changning listened to her mother-in-law's best-of-both-worlds solution, and nodded in agreement.

"Mother's idea is good. I wanted to meet Min'er's daughter, and this time I can kill two birds with one stone."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it again, and Princess Changning left to deal with the house's internal affairs.

After Princess Changning left Songhe Hall, she brought people to the meeting room in the front yard. It was almost noon when the house's internal affairs were dealt with.

After thinking about what I discussed with my mother-in-law today, I said to Hongxiu, "Go and ask Xu'er if he will go to the concubine's at noon, and if not, let him come and have dinner with me."

Hongxiu took the lead, went to the door and ordered a little girl to ask.

After waiting for a while, the girl came to report, and the prince would go to the princess's place for lunch later.After hearing this, Hongxiu went in and reported to Princess Changning.

At noon, Mu Xu naturally came to his mother's side.

After the mother and son finished their meal, they sat in the flower hall and chatted together.

Princess Changning was going into the palace to talk with the queen tomorrow, and remembering what she said earlier about arranging errands for Mu Xu, she asked him what he meant.

Mu Xu thought about it, and there was really nothing to do at home every day, and it would probably be boring after a long time, so it was good to find something to do, and he agreed immediately.

Seeing that he agreed, Princess Changning said, "Then I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will ask Brother Huang to arrange an errand for you. Do you have a Yamen you want to enter?"

Mu Xu replied, "It's better to be a military officer. I don't like dealing with those literati."

Princess Changning naturally nodded in agreement with this request.

The mother and son talked again, and Princess Changning suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have a lot of free time these days, so I really want to meet your Aunt Jia's daughter."

Mu Xu was taken aback, "Mother didn't mention it before, why did she suddenly want to see the younger sister of the Lin family?"

Princess Changning pretended to be nonchalant, but secretly checked her son's expression carefully, and said casually,
"Didn't you meet Xiao Wang, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family yesterday, and asked about the girl's recent situation, and I couldn't help but think of her mother for a while."

"It's been a while since I've been back to Beijing, and now I want to meet that girl."

Mu Xu hesitated, "Then I'll leave a message to Jia's mansion another day, and I'll pick it up in person."

Princess Changning nodded with a smile on her face, "Yeah, that's fine, you can send someone to Rong Mansion to send a greeting card today."

"In such a hurry?" Mu Xu asked curiously.

Princess Changning nodded and confirmed,
"Today is the fifth day of October, so it will be the eighth day of October three days later."

Mu Xu thought for a while, and after three days he really had nothing to do, so he nodded and agreed.

"Then I will come to pick up Lin Shimei in person in three days."

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Do you want to keep her in our residence for a while?"

Thinking of what happened last time, and fearing that my mother might misunderstand, I hurriedly explained, "Ask mother, so that I can go back to Shi Taijun of Jia's mansion, so that I won't be unclear when I get it."

Princess Changning nodded with a smile,
"That's what you said, um, since she's here, I naturally want to keep her in our house for a while."

Mu Xu always felt that his mother's smile was a bit strange, he twisted his body uncomfortably, and asked, "Mom, what else can I order?"

Hearing she said there was no more, she couldn't sit still any longer, and wanted to leave when she got up.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changning held him down, and on the face that was still smiling a moment ago, a sad sigh suddenly appeared on his face,

"Oh, I can't help but say that you are too big. Sure enough, you have grown up, and now you are not close to your mother. You just talk to me for a while, and you can't sit still."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xu dared to leave, and comforted her,
"Wherever the mother speaks, the son will always be close to the mother."

Princess Changning smiled again, "That's pretty much the same. Even if you marry a wife in the future, you still have to remember your mother."

Seeing his mother's face change so quickly, Mu Xu couldn't help sighing that women are born actors no matter what time they are.

Hearing the multiple choice questions she said was similar to who fell into the river in the previous life, he naturally wouldn't be so ignorant.Hastily said,
"Look at what you said, even if I have a great-grandson, I dare not forget you. I will have to trouble you to bring my great-great-great-grandson."

When Princess Changning heard what her son said, she also smiled and said to him in a serious way,

"I don't want to be a great-grandson. I just want to bring my grandson with me."

Mu Xu had no choice but to say vaguely, "Mother, wait, maybe she will be a granddaughter then."

How could Princess Changning be fooled by him, she said directly, "Granddaughter is fine, I'm afraid grandson will make trouble for me."

Well, seeing that he couldn't talk about his mother, Mu Xu simply shut up.

Seeing that his son was being teased by him and began to pretend to be stupid, Princess Changning let him go with a smile.
