However, the capital city was different. Although she had never experienced it before, from what others had told her, she could roughly guess how hot it would be when she went underworld.

After saying this, Old Madame Xu opened her mouth and said, ”After the Queen's birthday, the family will hold a small feast, and invite a few families that are close to having a relationship with each other.” After saying this, Old Madame Xu thought for a moment and continued, ”Coincidentally, I also want to choose a marriage for Yanlang.”

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu immediately looked at each other.

They all came to their senses, the thing that Old Madame Xu was not done with just now should be this.

”Grandmother, about Yanlang's marriage, why would I trouble you to come and take a look?” Xu Yanzhu did not understand, although she was secretly helping Xu Yanlang, but she had a good grasp of the situation.

Even if she was angry at her parents and brothers, as long as Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei had the surname Xu, she would extend a helping hand when she knew they needed help.

This was the reason for a family. Even without family ties, as long as it was a family family, when it was clear that the other party needed help, Xu Yanzhu would still extend a hand.

However, due to the previous matter, it was impossible to ask her to pay special attention to them, regardless of what the reason was.

Old Madame Xu ought to be aware of what Xu Yanzhu had been doing during this period of time, so when she heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she immediately nodded. ”Your father and mother are still considered smart. After she finished speaking, Old Madame Xu thought for a bit before continuing, ”Furthermore, Yanlang's request this time is considered to be normal. I've thought about it, rather than letting your father and mother casually marry Yanlang as a daughter-in-law, it would be better for me to spend some effort to find a smart person to help him.”

Old Madame Xu understood that it was impossible for the Second Branch to rely on Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang.

However, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei could still be considered to be saved. She thought about it a bit, and if he could still help the Second Branch, it would be considered as helping his husband, who had already passed away.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she immediately understood what she meant.

”What kind of marriage does Yanlang want to find?”

The moment Xu Yanzhu opened his mouth, before the Old Madame Xu could reply, Xu Nuanwen had already opened his mouth and said: ”Jing Xing has an assistant under him, who is a High Scholar who has been through many trials. He has just learned very well, his wife comes from a merchant's family, and he only has two daughters. He hadn't taken in a concubine all these years and had always guarded his wife and two daughters. I've seen his eldest daughter a few times before. She can read, she knows how to calculate, she knows how to do business, and she's an expert in both the house and the house. ”

If Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang came to tell him, Xu Nuanwen might not be willing to tell this girl to Xu Yanlang.

But now that it was Old Madame Xu who wanted to help Xu Yanlang watch the marriage, and Xu Yanzhu had once again voiced her concern, she had one more thing to say.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she immediately became spirited.

She had originally wanted to find a smart and capable wife for Xu Yanlang, so that she could take care of the matters of the second house in the future.

Although Xu Nuanwen spoke of a lady who did not have a brother, her father was one of Ye Jingxing's aides. As long as Ye Jingxing succeeded in the future, then he would definitely have an official position.

As for his status as a High Scholar, it just so happened that he was neither high nor low. The Second Branch did not have any official positions, and was always in business.

Xu Nuanwen saw that her mother was moved, and then continued: ”But this girl's appearance is average, and she looks like her father; And I listened to her mother's words, as if she was going to keep her eldest daughter at home to take in a woman and pass on the incense. ”

After saying the advantages of the technique, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to mention the disadvantages as well.

Old Lady Xu understood this as well, and finally she nodded. ”I'll see if there are any suitable marriages among my family and friends in the next few days. You can go back and test this girl's mother.” If she wants to, I'll look for a chance to visit your house. ” After thinking for a moment, Old Lady Xu continued, ”Although there's a way to recruit women, there's always something wrong with men who are willing to marry into the academy. ”You and this girl's mother said that if she is willing to marry our family, when she has a second son, she can follow their family name.

Old Madame Xu made it clear that she was someone who had experienced the past and understood the flaws in recruiting women.

Hearing her mother's words, Xu Nuanwen understood that her mother truly felt that the conditions of the young lady that she had mentioned were appropriate.

Otherwise, she would never have made such a promise.

She looked at Xu Yanzhu and saw that both of Xu Yanzhu's eyes were shining. Obviously, she had some interest in this girl, and then she said: ”Then I will explain everything to her mother when I go back later.” After saying this, Xu Nuanwen thought for a moment before continuing to speak in a low voice: ”Actually, I was just thinking about her family's little miss.” While talking, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to take a glance at Ye Xuan.

Upon seeing her expression, everyone understood what she meant.

Even though Ye Xuan was his royal grandson, his health was not well. He wanted to find a suitable marriage partner, because he was afraid that if he passed away early, he would leave behind a rich and powerful wife.

But the daughter of Ye Jingxing's aide was not bad, and should have known Ye Xuan since he was young, so it was not strange that Xu Nuanwen had such a thought.

It was only because Ye Xuan's health was getting better and better that Xu Nuanwen suppressed her thoughts.

After saying this, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu left the Xu Family.

After they left, Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard.

Today, Xu Shiqiu still had half a day to accompany him. Tomorrow morning, he would report to the military camp outside the city.

After they left, Old Madame Xu started to wonder if there were any other marriage suitable for Yanlang among her friends and family.

Other than pondering over this matter, the Old Madame Xu didn't forget to open up the calendar to see whether there would be a good day for the banquet after the Queen's birthday celebration ended.

After everyone busied themselves, Dong Shu also continued to busy herself with gifts for the empress' birthday. It was only the evening before the empress' birthday that Dong Shu finally prepared a present for the empress' birthday.
