Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 243 Dow's Thoughts

But Lu Wanning understood that the official position obtained by relying on her favor is still different from the official position obtained by Lu Simo with his real talents.

As the only male in Sanfang, Lu Simo will be the supporter of Sanfang in the future. If he wants to go far, he can't just rely on her, the elder sister who is the favorite concubine in the palace.

Of course, this is only if Lu Simo has this ability himself.

If Lu Simo himself didn't have that ability, couldn't study well, and couldn't take the road of scientific examination, then he could only take the road of Yin En, but in this case, Lu Simo might at most be a fourth-rank or fifth-rank official in his life.

While Lu Wanning was thinking about Lu Simo's exam situation, Dow was thinking of entering the palace to announce the good news to Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning met Tao Shi two days later, and also knew from Tao Shi's mouth that Lu Simo performed well this time, and got the second best result in the government examination.

Although he is not Jie Yuan, he still has a lot of limelight among the scholars in Beijing.

Apart from announcing the good news to Lu Wanning when Tao Shi entered the palace today, the most important thing was to discuss Lu Simo's marriage with Lu Wanning.

Lu Simo has turned sixteen this year, and it's time to get married.

Dow thought about making an engagement for Lu Simo this year, and it would take at least a year after the three letters and six ceremonies were slowly completed.

If Lu Simo can pass the Juren examination next year, he will wait until after the examination before getting married.

If Lu Simo fails the exam next year, then get married first.

Lu Simo, as the son of the third bedroom in the Hou's mansion, was not originally the best son-in-law candidate in the eyes of those noble ladies in Beijing, but Lu Wanning was favored in the palace, and Lu Simo himself was also up to the challenge, which made many noble ladies choose Lu Simo again as a son-in-law candidate .

During this period of time, when Dow attended various banquets, many wives mentioned the girls in the family, both openly and secretly.

There are girls from two families among those who intend to get married with the third wife, Tao is quite satisfied, this time she entered the palace to tell Lu Wanning about the situation of these two girls, to see what Lu Wanning meant.

"The fifth girl from Luge's hometown, my mother has seen people before, she is good-looking, and her manners are even better. There is also the second girl from Gao's family, the official servant, who has a delicate appearance and a pleasing personality. It is said that she is very suitable for Mr. Gao. like."

When Tao Shi just said it, Lu Wanning didn't feel anything, but at the end of Tao Shi's words, Lu Wanning couldn't help frowning.

Luge is always the elder of the pavilion. Although he is not the chief assistant, he still has the right to speak in the court. Although Gao Shilang is the servant of the official department, Lin Zhuo, the minister of the official department, is getting old, and he has already had the intention to retire in the past two years After Lin Zhuo retires and returns to his hometown, there is a great possibility that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will fall on Gao Shilang.

Although Zhongyonghou's Mansion is a Marquis's Mansion, it was born as a military commander after all, and the children of Zhongyonghou's Mansion generally follow the path of military officers, and Lu Simo wants to follow the path of civil servants. Getting married to these two families will indeed make his future official career easier. Be open-minded.

However, Lu Wanning felt that this was not the best choice. She thought for a while and asked Tao: "Mother likes girls from the Lu family and girls from the Gao family. Is it because of the character of these two girls, or because of the character of the Lu family and the Gao family?" Can the Gao family help younger brother in his official career?"

Tao Shi nodded and said: "Both of them, the two girls are good in themselves, and they happen to have a good family background. If Mo'er becomes an official like Chao Chao in the future, both of them can help your brother, and more importantly Yes, if Mo'er gets married with these two families, there will be someone to speak for you in the court in the future."

After Zhongyonghou's mansion handed over the military power, Zhongyonghou stayed at home. Although there were people who had good friends with Zhongyonghou's mansion in the court, these people were military generals, and they were not as useful as those civil servants in matters related to the harem.

If Lu Simo married the Gao family or the Lu family, then the Lu family or the Gao family would naturally stand by Lu Wanning's side in some matters.

Lu Wanning didn't expect that Dow's choice of these two companies had something to do with her. She frowned and asked Dow, "Mother, is this your idea or uncle's?"

Seeing Lu Wanning frowned, Dow asked, "What's the matter? Is this inappropriate? This is all my mother's own idea. Mother hasn't told Uncle Ni yet. Mother wanted to ask your opinion first. If you I think it's good, I'll ask someone to tell your uncle after I go back. But if you think it's inappropriate, forget it, anyway, although I had this idea before, I didn't send a letter to the two families."

Lu Wanning heard Tao Shi say that it was her own idea, she loosened her brows, and said to Tao Shi: "Mother, I really don't think this is appropriate, my brother should study hard now, I think it's better to be married or something." Put it aside for a while, and it won't be too late to decide after my younger brother will have an exam in the next year."

"And I'm fine in the palace, so I don't need to use my younger brother's marriage to help me win over courtiers. My younger brother's marriage should be based on his own wishes."

"But..." Tao looked at Lu Wanning worriedly and said, "Your uncle is at home now, and Mo'er is just a young scholar, even if you are admitted to Jinshi, it won't be able to help you for a while. "

"Mother..." Lu Wanning shook her head, smiled and asked Dow an irrelevant question.

"Do you think the emperor is the kind of useless king who can be manipulated by his courtiers?"

Dow was startled when she heard Lu Wanning's words. She stood up nervously and glared at Lu Wanning, then looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she was relieved, and said to Lu Wanning: "You girl, you dare to say anything!" Speak out!"

Lu Wanning looked at Tao Shi's nervous expression and pursed her lips and laughed.

Dow looked at Lu Wanning angrily, and said, "Are you still laughing, girl?"

Lu Wanning put away her smiling face when she heard the words, and said to Tao Shi with a serious face: "Mother, I won't laugh anymore, let's continue the topic just now, do you think the emperor is the kind of weak king who can be manipulated by his courtiers?"

"You said it!"

Dow really wanted to go up and cover Lu Wanning's mouth.

Lu Wanning comforted Tao and said, "Mother, don't worry, Qingzhi and Qingdai are guarding outside, we are the only two in the room, and no one else will hear this."

Tao Shi felt relieved after hearing what Lu Wanning said. Seeing that Lu Wanning was still waiting for her reply, Tao Shi thought for a while and said: "The emperor is wise and wise, how can he be the kind of weak king who can be manipulated by others?"

If the emperor is really the kind of weak king who can be manipulated by others, then the Zhongyong Houfu will not hand over the military power so readily.

Hearing this, Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Since my mother knows this, then my mother should understand that no matter what the emperor knows, the emperor's thoughts are not easily controlled by the ministers of the court. And put all the current He loves me so much precisely because the Zhongyonghou Mansion behind me will no longer be a threat."

If she hooks up with the ministers in the court at this time, what will the emperor think?
