C1 Visiting

The majestic Imperial City stood at the center of the capital, silently and majestically pacifying the people of the world. The Great Shun Dynasty had been passed down for more than 130 years since Taizong. Now, the Pingjia Emperor, the Southern Barbarians, and the Northern Hu had been suspended for many years. It was a period of peace for the country and the people, a period of peace and prosperity.

Now, in the cool autumn season, there was a sedan carried by four people. On it was inscribed a small character, "Fu." Silently, it passed through the entertainment gardens and the markets where the Kunqu song could be heard. After passing through a long corridor, he arrived at the side door of the General's Estate in the north of the city. There were a few old ladies and maids waiting in front of the door a long time ago. When they saw the palanquin arrive, they all came forward with smiles on their faces. The standard half squat blessing ceremony, the one in the lead said, "The old master and madam know that Miss Fu is coming to visit Eldest Young Madam. They specially ordered the servants to wait here."

While they were talking, the person in the sedan had already come out. The woman stood gracefully on the spot. She was wearing a blue cloud pattern skirt and her hair was tied in a simple bun. There were only some golden flowers and pearls on it, but every movement she made gave birth to a graceful bearing for no reason. And her appearance was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as smooth as fat, her head was like a moth, and her eyebrows were like moths. Her eyes were like bright pearls that flowed and were bright and clear, and when she looked around, it was like a clear pond that was illuminated by multicolored light, and the moon that shot through the cold river. She was truly the most outstanding beauty in the world.

The young girls and their wives lowered their heads even deeper, and they expressed the respect the General's Estate had towards her.

This girl was precisely the current official, Fu Chongnian's two daughters, Fu Qingzhi. Fu Chongnian had experienced two dynasties. From the Crown Prince's young master all the way to the Pingjia years, he had already become the official of the Ministry of Personnel. He was given the title of a Rank One young master, and now he could be considered the only official. Even the current Emperor had to show some respect to him.

He was an extremely important official and had a smooth journey. His children were also successful. The eldest daughter, Fu Qingyao, was married to the eldest son of the Kingdom's Great General, Huaiqing. The second son, Fu Qingxu, had also gotten a rank and was able to become an official in the Hanlin Court. The remaining daughter, who was the youngest, had been raised like a pearl since she was born. It was Fu Qingzhi.

The Fu family had always been on good terms with the Mu family. They also had a daughter's family and helped each other in the court. Thus, the servants of the General's Estate also treated the children of the Fu family as their little masters.

Fu Qingzhi smiled slightly and asked them to avoid the formalities. As she walked towards the General's Estate, she talked to the woman in charge, "Mother Liu, is Auntie busy today?"

Mother Liu was an old person in the General's Estate. She knew that the "Auntie" that Fu Qingzhi spoke of was the wife of General Mu Lian, Meng. She smiled and replied, "Today is the day for the General's Estate to settle accounts. It is indeed somewhat busy. Otherwise, she would definitely come to see Second Miss. Second Miss did not come for a long time and the Mistress misses her very much."

Meng treated the few children of Fu family as her biological love and Fu Qingyao was married to her eldest son. Naturally, she liked it even more. It was just that some time ago, the weather was volatile and Fu Qingyao followed Mu Huaiqing out to play. When the wind blew, she got cold. At the beginning, she did not pay much attention to it but later on, her illness came and fell like a mountain and her illness went away like a strand of silk. It had been more than half a month since they last saw each other.

Fu Qingzhi came to the General Estate this time because her mother was not feeling well and could not come to visit her daughter. She, this little daughter, would do it on her behalf. After walking past ten pine trees and some strange rockery, and bypassing the winding winding corridors, and past the moon door, Mother Liu personally went forward to open the door for Qingzhi.

Fu Qingyao's room was clear and bright, with a delicate fragrance filling the air. When she saw her younger sister coming, she wanted to get off the bed to welcome her. Qingzhi quickly walked over to stop her and carefully looked at Eldest Sister. Only then did she relax and smile, "Your complexion does not look bad. When we go back, I will definitely tell Mother. I want her to be at ease." As he spoke, he called the servant girl, Lian Yue, to come over and let Eldest Sister take a look at the things that were given to Eldest Sister at home one by one.

Fu Qingyao saw that her younger sister's bearing was becoming more and more outstanding. Although she had walked over swiftly just now, she was calm and unhurried. The hem of her clothes did not move at all. When she thought of the things that her husband had told her about in the Imperial Court, the worry in her heart became heavier and heavier.

However, she knew her limits. First, she let the maidservants serve the favorite snacks and tea that her younger sister loved. After pushing back the crowd, she pulled her hand and said, "Qingzhi. I heard some news from your brother-in-law that the Imperial Court is going to have a talent show. It was originally a talent show that only happens once every three years. When you were 14 years old, you coincidentally caught a cold. I avoided it, but this time, "Fu Qingyao lowered her voice," The Emperor intends to pick people from the families of the officials. "It's not the election. Father has a high position. "I wonder if he can avoid it."

Fu Qingzhi was stunned. Although her brother-in-law, Huaiqing, was the descendant of the family of generals, his health was not very good. He had not entered the court to become an official. However, his identity was there and he was interested in managing it. He had many good friends with the status of royalty in the capital. It was not strange that Mu Huaiqing knew about this. It was very likely that it was true.

Fu Qingzhi remembered that her father had been wanting to say something when he saw her for the past few days. In her heart, she believed that she would not be able to avoid this matter.

"What Eldest Sister means is?"

"Others do not know but I understand very well. There has always been a person in your heart who said that he liked you for the sake of the Empress Dowager in the Palace and wanted to personally point out the marriage for you. You do not dare to say it to my father, Mother, right?"

Fu Qingzhi's heart gradually sank. Two years ago, she was ordered to follow her mother to the Palace Banquet. Originally, she was sitting at the very end of the hall and could not even see what the Empress Dowager Emperor looked like. However, she did not expect that after the palace banquet ended, the Empress Dowager's rewards would come from the inner palace. It was a joke. "Minister Fu's daughter is really demure and polite. Aijia likes it. I would like to talk about matchmaking for this daughter. "

The Empress Dowager casually said that as a subject, he had to take it as an order. Fu Chongnian did not dare to rashly marry his daughter. The other high-ranking officials and nobles also seemed to shrink back.

But Fu Qingzhi understood in her heart that just like what Eldest Sister said, there was already a man in her heart that she admired.

When Fu Qingyao saw that she was silent, she sighed. Patting her hand, she said solemnly, "Eldest Sister also hopes that you can marry well. It was also as if she knew who the person in your heart was. This was a good thing to get closer to her. We sisters can be together in the future. This is not the time to be shy. Give Eldest Sister a definite answer. The person in your heart... Is it Huaifeng or not? "

From an outsider's point of view, this should be a heavenly marriage. The Mu family had two sons, and the Fu family had two daughters. The eldest son and eldest daughter were married, and now the relationship between them was deep. The second son and second daughter, Moo Huaifeng and Fu Qingzhi. They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts again. There was nothing more perfect than this. A pair of sisters married a pair of brothers. Fu Qingyao did not guess wrong. The person her sister liked. It was indeed Moo Huaifeng.

Qingzhi nodded lightly.

Fu Qingyao heaved a sigh of relief and a faint smile finally appeared on her face. "It's good that you are. Yesterday, I also asked Huaifeng. He said that he was also willing to not marry anyone other than you. Not long after, father-in-law and mother-in-law will find a matchmaker to propose marriage. Qingzhi. After listening to her elder sister's words, she quickly recruited the three matchmakers and the six of them. Even if it was too rushed and she could not marry in a grand manner, "It's better than entering the Palace."
