Chapter 1541 Don’t Think About Chrysanthemums (3)
Empress Dowager Mo could not persuade her, so she had to discuss it with the emperor. She did not listen to her daughter, but hoped that her son could. When Nangong Yi knew about Nangong Yu's decision, he stood on the same side as Empress Dowager Mo. They both disagreed with Chaoyue marrying to Xianbei. In order to dispel her idea, the mother and son began to arrange for Nangong Yu to choose a son-in-law.
Although Caiwei felt that Nangong Yu's desire to marry to Xianbei was inappropriate, she wisely kept her opinion. Although Empress Dowager Mo treated her very well now, there is a saying: there is a mountain between the belly and the mother-in-law, but she is not a mother after all. Moreover, Empress Dowager Mo's kindness to her was half based on fear of her and the other half based on the child in her belly. She was not kind to her from the heart. Therefore, for Nangong Yu's future, let them decide for themselves. If she also participated in it, if there was anything wrong in the future, she would end up with a good intention but no good reward!
After Nangong Yi and Empress Dowager Mo discussed, they finally decided to let the matter of Nangong Yu's son-in-law be handled by her grandmother Liu. Old Lady Liu was highly respected among the nobles in the capital, and she often visited various families. Therefore, she knew which family had a man of the right age and which family had a good son. Therefore, it was perfect for her to handle this matter.
So, the next day, the wife of Duke Liguo was summoned to the palace. Nangong Yi received her in Shouxian Palace and discussed with her about choosing a son-in-law for Nangong Yu. The old lady thought of several men who were suitable for Nangong Yu. After she proposed them, Nangong Yi was very satisfied and wanted to discuss it with Empress Dowager Mo before making a decision.
The old lady took the opportunity to mention to Nangong Yi about finding a woman similar to Xiangyun for Mo Zili.
Nangong Yi heard this and said, "Doesn't Wu have sisters? If she does, there must be similarities between them. Why not choose the one who looks the most like her from among Wu's sisters and marry her in?"
The old lady sighed and said, "We have thought of this method a long time ago. Unfortunately, Xiangyun has no legitimate sisters. She has two concubines, but they are both very ugly and have nothing in common with Xiangyun. I don't know what mistakes she made in her natal family, so she was married to two servants in the Queen's office by Marquis Jian'an. I heard that the two concubines are not obedient in their husband's family..."
The old lady was nagging and sighing. Mo Zili was her youngest grandson. He had been away from home for half a year. She was heartbroken thinking about him, but the evil man was in Qingluo Country and refused to come back even if he died. Their family was helpless.
Nangong Yi saw his grandmother's frown, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, blurting out: "I remember, I remember the queen once told me that the daughter of the magistrate of Qing County in Bianzhou Prefecture is very similar to Wu Xiangyun. Not only do they look a bit similar, but their personalities are also very similar. It's just that the girl's family background is a bit low. The daughter of a mere magistrate is not worthy of the family of Duke Liguo."
"Hey, now that things have come to this, if we can choose a girl like this, let alone the daughter of the magistrate, even if she is a farmer or a chicken farmer, we can't choose either. Haven't you seen your uncle and your aunt? Because of that Li boy, he was almost tormented these days. Your uncle's health was not good to begin with, and when Li boy left, he collapsed. He soaked in medicine jars all day long, and no matter how many medicines he took, he didn't get better. The imperial physician said that he had a heart disease, and a heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. As long as their only child is found and married to a wife and settled down in peace, his disease will be cured! "
The old lady kept mumbling, indicating that she did not dislike the identity of the daughter of the Qing County Magistrate at all. On the contrary, she was very happy to find a girl with a similar temperament and appearance to Xiangyun so quickly.
