Chapter 1185: What a dish
At the same time, inside the Kunning Palace. "Yunlan, don't worry, your imperial brother has already told his sister-in-law that Yang Feng is not only back with all his beards and tails, but also not injured at all, and his body is very healthy, and he will organize your wedding after the New Year, and you can marry into the Yang family in March, and it is Yang Feng who married into your princess's mansion." Xi Yao sat on the Luohan bed and smiled at Yun Lan.
"Who asked him? Sister-in-law, what you said is as if your sister came to you to find out about Yang Feng's situation. Although Yun Lan blushed at what she said, she still said.
"Hey, who stayed in my Kunning Palace for more than half of the day after the news of Yiwu's war came, waiting for the latest news from Yiwu?" Xi Yao said again.
"That's it, Yun Lan, at that time, my sister was busy with palace affairs and political affairs, and she pestered me all day long, waiting for the latest news." Xiyi also said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you will make fun of your sister." Yun Lan covered her face with the sleeves of her robe and said.
"Sister-in-law, this is not a joke about you." Xiyao stood up and sat beside her, pulled back the sleeves of her robe, and said: "You are already twenty years old this year, and you will be twenty-one next year, which is not too young, and you should have gotten married a long time ago, but you have been ruined by all kinds of accidents so far." Now you have a home, and your sister-in-law is happy for you. ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yun Lan heard these words and said softly.
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong, it's not that the second sister has a home, it should be the brother-in-law who has a home. After you got married, you lived in the princess's mansion. Yun Zhi suddenly said with a smile.
"Oops, sister!" Yun Lan reached out and patted Yun Zhi, and Yun Zhi dodged sideways. Yun Lan was about to pat her again, when suddenly her eyes rolled and she smiled: "Fourth sister, you came to make fun of your second sister today, and when you get married with a horse in the future, see how the second sister makes fun of you!" ”
"Where you can use it in the future, you can make fun of her today." Xi Yao smiled.
"Today?" Yun Lan glanced sideways at her, then turned her head and stared at Yun Zhi with a surprised expression: "You already have a selected colt?" Not only her, but Yun Yun and Xi Yi also looked at Yun Zhi in surprise.
"Sister-in-law!" Yun Zhi said embarrassedly.
"What's there to be ashamed of." Xi Yao said with a smile: "Men should marry women and women should get married, you are already fifteen years old this year, and you will be sixteen next year, so you are not too young." It's just that you have to hold a wedding for your second sister and the seventh uncle's Xiancai first, and your second sister and third sister can tease you for a longer time. ”
Yun Zhi's face turned even redder when she heard Xi Yao's words, don't turn her head and don't speak. Xi Yao comforted her softly again.
At this time, Yun Lan had something to go out, and Yun Zhi went with her. Seeing this, Xi Yao ordered the little eunuch beside her to go to the door to guard, turned his head and said to the one among the three sisters: "Yunyun, my sister-in-law and your brother have been busy with your second sister's affairs before, and you were still young at the time, so I ignored your affairs. Sister-in-law, I really can't stand you. ”
"Now you are seventeen, and you will be eighteen after the New Year, even your royal brother, who is very opposed to your early marriage and thinks that it is too early to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, thinks that it is already the right age, and it is time to get married. Not to mention your four sisters. ”
Xiyao didn't say much about Yun Zhi's matter, and quickly turned to the topic: "After the wedding of your second sister and the seventh uncle's family next year, it's time to handle you." My sister-in-law is telling you this now, I want to ask you, do you have someone you like? ”
"At the beginning, your imperial brother was reluctant to marry your second sister to Yang Tongshi because he already had a wife at that time, and after his wife passed away, the imperial brother agreed; Yun Zhi fell in love with Zhang and the imperial brother immediately agreed. ”
"If you have someone you like, just tell your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will definitely support it, and the royal brother will definitely support it. You can rest assured. ”
Hearing Xi Yao's words, Yun Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "The thoughts of the royal brother and sister-in-law also understand that it is for the good of the younger sister, if the younger sister has someone she likes, she will definitely tell the royal brother or sister-in-law, but the younger sister has no favorite person." ”
Yunyun's situation is normal. In ancient times, men and women who were not from the same family rarely had much contact with each other, especially the upper class in society, and men and women were very strict. And the royal family is the most ruled, and the average rich and noble aunt and cousin can still have the opportunity to meet and talk, so there are cousins who have a private lifelong matter, but this is basically impossible in the royal family.
Now the princess of Daming, the only possibility of contacting a foreign man is to contact the guards, but Yunyun is a quiet girl, and she has no feelings for the guards with high martial arts, so it is natural that she has no one she likes.
Xi Yao also understands this truth, and the news reported by the person who was ambushed by Yun Yun is the same, and she has no objection to Yun Yun's answer.
"Yunyun, what do you like? Is it a well-read person who reads thousands of books, or a scholar who is good at the Four Books and Five Classics? Or is it a person who is both civil and military? Xi Yao asked again.
"Sister-in-law, my sister doesn't like people who are both civil and military, and she doesn't like nerds, so choose a well-informed person who reads thousands of books." Yun Yun said. Of course, she understands that Xi Yao wants to choose one according to her preferences, but she is not disgusted. The majority of those assigned by her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to get married, since she has no one she likes now, and she can't keep dragging her sister below to get married, she is willing to let her brother and sister-in-law choose one.
"It's not right to think of anyone from the imperial examination as a nerd." Xi Yao said with a smile: "There are also many well-informed people from the imperial examination, especially after the imperial brother revised the questions of the township examination and the meeting examination, more talents will also watch the world's affairs." Those who can get the Jinshi are all top-notch, and their heads are very active. ”
"But that's not all, my sister-in-law can understand; But why don't you like people who are both civil and military? Xi Yao was a little puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, the imperial brother once said to us, it is not easy for ordinary people to study one aspect of knowledge to the extreme, most of the so-called civil and military are all civil and military, and even civil and military are sparse."
"The imperial brother also said that there are many talents in this world, and there are also those who are really both civil and military, such as Yue Fei. But people like Yue Fei are excellent as courtiers, but women who marry them will suffer, and they can't marry. Yun Yun said.
What kind of fallacy is this? People who are both civil and military are not good? Xi Yao reacted immediately. But he pondered Yun Xi's words carefully, and felt very reasonable. If a woman marries a person who is both civil and military, her family is beautiful, as long as that person is not selected and executed like Yue Fei; But the hardships behind it are only known to the woman herself.
That's what only people who really love their sister and daughter will say. Xi Yao couldn't help but glance at Yun Yun again.
"Also, sister-in-law," Yun Yun suddenly remembered something, and said, "It's not a talented person who is quite famous." Brother Huang said that the so-called talents are unreliable, they can write two lines of poetry, and what kind of talent is it to draw two strokes? Moreover, these talents are very, um, actually, um, such people can't be found. ”
What do these two 'um's mean? Xi Yao had the heart to ask, but after thinking that Yun Yun had no exit, it meant that it should be a word that was not suitable for an unmarried woman to say, and since Yun Xi said it, he should remember it himself, so he decided to ask Yun Xi at night.
Xi Yao asked again if there were any other requirements, Yun Yun thought about it carefully and shook her head, Xi Yao was about to say something more, when a sound sounded at the door, Yun Lan and Yun Zhi came back, and she could only keep silent.
After a while, it was noon, and Xi Yao instructed his subordinates to pass the meal, and when the food was served, they would eat together.
was eating, suddenly Lu Yi came from Qianqing Palace, came to Xi Yao's side and whispered something, Xi Yao agreed, and gave him a few more instructions, Lu Yi bowed and retreated,
"Sister-in-law, what did Xiao Lu say to you?" Yun Zhi said curiously.
"Today, your imperial brother summoned his close ministers to the palace to discuss matters, and he mentioned the matter of the school, and he wanted to change the curriculum taught in the school. I thought of the girls' school, and I wanted to add a course similar to the six arts of the gentleman to the women's school. ”
"The six arts of a gentleman? Isn't that what teaches men? Why did the royal brother suddenly use this to teach women? ”
"And there are also archery and royalty in the six arts, could it be that the imperial brother wants to teach many female generals?" Yun Zhi was puzzled. The others also looked at Xi Yao in confusion.
Xi Yao shook her head: "I don't know why your imperial brother wants to add such a course. "Yun Xi has intervened in the curriculum of the women's school many times before, although some of the courses seem to be of little use, but after all, they are related to women, and Xiyao and Princess Ning Guo, who is in charge of the women's school, have also accepted it. But the course to be set up this time has nothing to do with women, so why should it be established?
Everyone thought for a while and offered some reasons, but they were all far-fetched. At this time, Xiyi said: "I can't think of it." But speaking of which, if these courses were really opened, Min'er and Aunt Baoqing would be very happy, that is, Siqi would not be too happy. ”
"Little sister-in-law, you are wrong about this, she is quiet on the surface, but she also likes to ride horses! I went to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I heard from an uncle who often rode horses in the Liangguo Mansion. Yun Zhi smiled. Yun Lan also provided corroboration: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister has also heard of it. ”
"Then it will be even more ...... to set up these courses" Xi Yao swallowed back the last two words, and said: "Since you can't understand your husband's intentions, I'll ask in the evening." ”
After that, the people stopped talking about it and ate while laughing. Yun Zhi quickly ate to eight points full, and was thinking about whether to stop the chopsticks or continue eating, when suddenly there was a sound from outside, and then a chef walked in with the eunuch who was helping in the imperial dining room, knelt down and said: "Queen Niangniang, Concubine Hui Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty suddenly sent someone to the imperial dining room a dish that I have never seen before, and asked the minister to send it to Her Royal Highness Niangniang to taste after it is fried." ”
"A dish you've never seen before? What is that? Yun Zhi looked at the plate that was served, tasted it curiously, and then said: "It tastes good, and I really haven't seen it at all, what kind of dish is this?" ”
