Thirteenth Fujin stayed with the child for a while, and when he saw that he was asleep, he asked the wet nurse to carry him into the inner room. She and Fourth Fujin talked in the outer room.

Luo Jianing was not particularly clear about some things, and the matter was left to Thirteenth Fujin. In order to avoid suspicion, she did not take too much care, so she asked: "My younger siblings said that the matter of Ertai's continued marriage was left to Xilin Jue."

Luo's elders? How do you say this?"

"Some time ago, someone came to Ertai's hometown. When the Thirteenth Master heard about it, he mobilized his gang of friends to investigate, and found out that it was the elders who wanted to help him arrange a marriage." Thirteenth Fujin said straightforwardly: "Er.

Tai did not reject the kindness of his elders, but he made it clear that he would mourn his deceased wife for a whole year, no less than a day. Moreover, just find someone gentle and virtuous. Appearance is not important, the most important thing is to be good to the children.

."

Having said this, Thirteenth Fujin held up his palms in relief and said: "Originally, Thirteenth Master was afraid that it would be too late. Later, he heard that Ertai would stay for his deceased wife for one year, so he felt relieved. He secretly thought that there was something else

More than half a year is enough to get things done."

Luo Jianing understood. No wonder the Thirteenth Elder Brother has not been to Prince Yong's Mansion recently to look for the Fourth Elder Brother. It turned out that the couple acted separately. Thirteenth Brother Fujin was busy attending the banquet to understand the situation, and asked the Thirteenth Elder Brother to inquire about Er.

Tai Xuxian has detailed matters.

"If you say Ertai is really a real person." Thirteenth Fujin marveled: "My prince has many concubines, so I don't have much to say. He can do this for his deceased wife.

It’s really rare.”

Luo Jianing smiled and said: "That's why I fell in love with his daughter. His tutor is really good." By the way, she praised her future daughter-in-law.

Thirteenth Fujin sighed: "I'm not telling you, and I don't want to find help for Brother Hui. The Ertai family is not the best choice." Although she disagreed, she also respected the fourth sister-in-law's decision and sighed briefly.

Then he said: "Come on, let's discuss how to talk to Princess of the Xitala family."

Originally, Thirteenth Brother Fujin had a taciturn temperament. After having children one after another, Xu Shi got used to talking to the children frequently, and now he talks more, with a hint of the boldness of Thirteenth Brother.

After Luo Jianing responded with a smile, she mused: "My brothers and sisters just said that they wanted Sister Wan and the others to meet the Xitala family. They also said that she would agree after meeting them. Could it be that my brothers and sisters have already

Do you know that the Xitara family’s princess will be kind to her stepson and stepdaughter?”

Thirteen Fujin nodded: "The Xitala family is also a stepdaughter. She knows very well the difficulties faced by her stepdaughter. When they see Sister Wan, they will probably feel the same and will definitely be soft-hearted. Seeing that Sister Wan is well-behaved and sensible, she said

Maybe I’ll agree to it.”

Luo Jianing also knew something about this.

The Hitara clan was originally born to Mai Zhu's first wife, but her wife died not long after, and Mai Zhu remarried soon. The Hitara family turned from a legitimate daughter to a stepdaughter, and lived under the control of her stepmother.

"Maizhu is very kind to this daughter. Although the stepmother favors her own children, she is not too out of line." Thirteenth Fujin said: "Just living a life, like a person who knows whether the water is warm or not. No matter how good the stepmother is, as a

As a stepdaughter, she also understands the difference in her heart to some extent. I heard that when she meets other people’s stepdaughters, she will always say a few words more. She must have felt the same way."

Luo Jianing didn't expect that Thirteen Fujin would actually find out so many details in these days. She hurriedly held her hand and said with a smile: "My younger siblings are becoming more sophisticated now, and they understand it so thoroughly. It must have taken a lot of effort."

."

"No." Thirteen Fujin smiled gently: "I have almost worn out my tongue these days in order to inquire about things. Otherwise, how do you think I can speak eloquently now? It's all because of practicing these days.

Come out."

The two sisters held hands and looked at each other and smiled.

Luo Jianing thought that it would be a good idea for the Xitala family and Sister Wan to meet, but she was worried about Sister Wan and the others, and asked with some uncertainty: "Then the Xitara family's Gege, is her temper really as bad as the rumors say?

?”

She knew that since the Queen Mother and the Emperor could come up with the idea to let this woman marry Ertai, they must have considered a lot.

But it is undeniable that the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not know much about this woman's temperament.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have asked her, the fourth blessing, to help him refer to the young princes to see which noble daughter from the family would be suitable to be his direct descendant.

If this Xitala family is really bad-tempered, no matter how good the idea of ​​"meeting at the altar" is, Luo Jianing cannot let Sister Wan and the others try it rashly.

She even said that if this person's temper was really very stubborn and disgusting, she could advise the emperor for the sake of her children and see if she could find another person to marry Ertai.

Even if the Shetara family empathizes and understands the difficulty of being a stepdaughter, so what? If she has a bad temper and suddenly gets angry, her stepdaughters may not be able to get along well with her.

Sister Wan is about to marry into Prince Yong's Mansion, so that's fine. After all, she doesn't have much time left at home, so she can get along by being polite on the surface.

But Sister Rou is not yet old enough to agree. She has to ensure that Ertai's new wife is easy to get along with.

Of course, in this worst-case scenario, she could only try her best to speak out and see if she could persuade the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

If the two elders were determined to facilitate this marriage, she could not go against their wishes.

——For her, protecting the safety of Prince Yong’s Mansion is the most important thing. Everything must be done to ensure the stability and smoothness of Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Thirteen Fujin shook Si Fujin's hand vigorously: "Sister-in-law Four, just relax. If she is really not well, the first thing I would say to you is, 'This marriage is not appropriate.' I also looked at her.

Although he was a bit harsh, he actually had a good temper, so he agreed."

It was only at this moment that Luo Jianing finally breathed a sigh of relief and discussed the details of the meeting with Thirteenth Fujin.

The two finally decided to meet on the second day of the second lunar month in winter. The temple on the mountain was full of incense that day, so it would not be strange even if the two families "suddenly bumped into each other".

But before that, Luo Jianing had to accompany E Yuwan to offer incense once.

This was the result of a discussion between her and Thirteen Fujin.

"You have to see which way Sister Wan likes to go and where she likes to stay, so that we can take one of us to a 'chance encounter'." Thirteenth Fujin muttered, "I can't contact the Xitala family in advance.

My princess has gone to burn incense together first, but you are the only one who can go with Sister Wan first."

Luo Jianing smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. Both the left and right are my own family members, so there is nothing formal about it."

As soon as Thirteen Fujin heard her say "family", he smiled with crooked eyes: "You are your own family so soon? I'm afraid the little girl doesn't know yet, right?"

Luo Jianing didn't know much about this matter either.

She was not sure whether Ertai would tell Sister Wan about Prince Yong's palace's intention to marry the Xilin Jueluo family.

Logically speaking, he should be able to say it. After all, Sister Wan is in charge of everything in their house now, so she should be able to mention it once or twice.

"When we see you on the mountain, let's take action." Luo Jianing said: "It's good that Sister Wan knows. It will be much more convenient if you don't have to cover it up in the future."

Thirteen Fujin responded with a smile.

The beginning of the next month is the day when both of them will go to offer incense together. So in the second half of this month, Luo Jianing learned about the day when Xilin Jueluo's sisters went to offer incense, so she set out early in the morning to have a visit with them.

We met by chance. By the way, we made an appointment to come together on the second day of winter.

The weather was gloomy.

Luo Jianing got out of the car and looked up, feeling a little nervous: "Is it going to rain today?"

A handsome young man holding a horse next to him came over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom, it won't rain today. It's just that the clouds have become more cloudy."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look around: "Where are they? Why can't they see her carriage?"

Luo Jianing glanced at him angrily: "I can't believe that my sister and son came earlier and are already on the mountain. Brother Hui, hurry up, let's go up the mountain first."

This young man is Honghui.

Originally, he didn't know that his mother was here to see E Yuwan and the others today. This morning, when he saw his mother asking for someone to hitch the carriage, he asked a few words, and then he could no longer pull his legs out, and he had to follow her.

Luo Jianing couldn't resist her tall son, so she reluctantly agreed, and then the two of them arrived here in a car and on horseback.

It's winter now, and everyone is wearing thick clothes and thick boots. Climbing mountains is much more difficult than it was in autumn some time ago.

Luo Jianing was walking up step by step, when suddenly her arm was loosened and she was supported by someone. She turned around and looked over, and it was her son.

Honghui carefully supported his mother and said with a smile, "I'll help you go up so you won't be tired."

"That's not necessary." Luo Jianing said, "I can do it myself."

Honghui said: "The mountain road is slippery, so you'd better be careful. Besides, you can save a lot of energy if I help you."

As he said this, he smiled sheepishly: "If it weren't for my business, I wouldn't have to worry about so many things in her family, and naturally I wouldn't have to go to this mountain road. After all, it's all because of me. You just

Let me help you. You are tired after all."

Seeing that her son was so sensible, Luo Jianing did not refute and allowed him to help.

After a while, the two came to the temple on the mountain.

Perhaps today is not a big day for offering incense, and perhaps because of the gloomy weather, there are not many people in the temple now.

Just as Luo Jianing was about to send Anfu to see where the Xilin Jueluo family was, Honghui pointed to a big tree with all its leaves and said excitedly: "They are there!"

Luo Jianing only saw a human figure in the distance. If he hadn't pointed it out specifically, she wouldn't have been able to tell who it was for a while.

"...You are really good at it." Luo Jianing looked at her son speechlessly: "You might not be able to recognize me and your Ama when we are so far away."

Honghui chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "How can you not? I still recognize you two." His cheeks turned red and he secretly looked at the trees.

Luo Jianing then walked to Jueluo's house in Xilin.

Honghui originally wanted to follow, but then hesitated and shook his head before following: "I was very happy when I saw her from a distance. It's better not to face her face to face this time."

After the elders on both sides decided to get married through Qi'er, he and E Yuwan met each other for the first time.

The girl most likely already knew about the marriage, and her mother-in-law would have been extremely shy when she saw him. If he was there, she would be even more shy.

In order not to make her uncomfortable, he thought it would be best not to show up this time.

Luo Jianing didn't expect that her son would do this for that girl, and said happily: "Sure, it's up to you. You know how to consider the problem from her standpoint and think for her is extremely rare. I'm happy for you.

."

After saying that, she patted her son's arm and headed towards the big tree.
