"My grandma, you must think of a way to not send the fifth sister to the palace." Grandma Tang San's tears were almost coming out, and she knew that neither she nor her mother could make a decision.

"Don't worry, the fifth sister is lucky. My mother knows, don't worry." Grandma Chang was involved in such a thing as soon as she entered the capital. It was really unspeakable to say that she was so sad.

…………

The Minister of Rites Jie Youde's Mansion, when Mrs. Jie Youde's wife Sun had just entered the upper room, the granddaughter Jie Er, who was beloved by Jie Youde and his wife, entered the upper room.

"Grandma!" Xie Er Madam was charming and cheerful, like a ray of early spring sunshine. She stepped in and the whole room seemed to be a little brighter. "Are you so tired? I stewed red date soup for Grandma. I picked out the red dates one by one, peeled them off. From the time it was not dawn to now, Grandma will try them."

"Okay, okay." Seeing his beloved granddaughter, Mrs. Sun smiled from the bottom of her heart, "The second sister is filial, the grandmother tastes it, well, it's really delicious."

"Not only taste good, but also nourishes red dates. Grandma got up in the middle of the night to enter the palace. It is best to use jujubes to supplement it. This is what medical books say." Xie Er's wife sat sideways on the edge of the kang, laughing, " Grandma, you have nothing to do when you enter the palace this time, right?"

"It can't be considered a matter of something, nor can it be considered a matter of nothing." Mrs. Sun drank the soup and held the others away, leaving only two big girls to serve, half tilted on the kang, chatting with her granddaughter.

"Empress Yang has been promoted to the throne and is said to be one of the four concubines. It is time to get the decree in the past few days."

"Ah!" Xie Er Madam was surprised, "Empress Ning is so virtuous and generous. Empress Yang, the concubine, was the concubine who gave birth to Prince Jin. The empress dowager issued an imperial edict to Jin. Empress Zhou was promoted as soon as she died. Empress Ning was simply slapped Empress Zhou in the face."

"It won't be a slap in the face," Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "I'm afraid that it's a preparation to prepare for choosing a noble girl."

"Pick a noble girl?" Xie Er's wife suddenly widened her eyes, "Give it to the emperor?"

"Who else can I have besides the emperor? Of course it's the prince." Mrs. Sun smiled and patted her granddaughter, "I will first be promoted to the position of Empress Yang, and then choose a noble daughter. Empress Ning is a sensible person."

"Well, grandma, what kind of noble girl do you think you will choose?" Xie Er Madam was more interested in this. "Does Niang Niang choose or the emperor personally?"

"According to the rules, Empress Ning will choose first, and then for the emperor. Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since she chose a noble girl. Empress Ning is a smart person. Maybe she will let Empress Yang choose with her. Empress Ning will be able to pass this level. It is better for Empress Ning to pass this level. It is almost the same for the other person, and the same for the girls. I guess they can pass it. It is the emperor's level. I don't know which noble girl can get the emperor's attention."

Mrs. Sun and her granddaughter Xie Er are used to gossip, and Xie Er's wife is also a smart and capable person.

"The ones who choose so urgently, the ones outside will definitely not be able to enter Beijing. That is, those in Beijing, who have suitable girls in Beijing?" Xie Er's wife said, "I will definitely choose from the Zhou family first. The Zhou family is just Ba Niangzi. Ba Niangzi is not smart enough, but..."

Xie Er Madam curled her lips, "Empress Zhou is not a smart person either. Eighth Madam and Empress Zhou are quite similar. The grandmother said, right?"

"Well, this kind of thing is not enough." Mrs. Sun thought of Concubine Zhou, and this kind of thing is not enough.

"The Eighth Lady is counted as one, and there is also the Mo Xiang family. The Sixth Lady is the eldest daughter of the eldest wife. She is beautiful, gentle and talented. Although she is a bit rigid, well... but after all, she is the young lady of the Prime Minister's House, so she has to count as one."

Mrs. Jie Er counted down with great enthusiasm, and Mrs. Sun laughed and nodded while listening.

"There are no young ladies in the Lu Xiang Mansion...there are no young ladies in the official residence of Ji Tian, ​​but the Ji family is a big family. It will be easy to pick a few suitable ladies. Grandma, do you think the Ji family will choose a few young ladies and send them to the palace?"

Mrs. Xie Er asked Mrs. Sun for a while, and Mrs. Sun thought about it, "The grandmother doesn't think she doesn't. Look at Mrs. Bai's meaning, it doesn't seem like she can give her someone a choice."

"Well, that's not the case for Ji's family. The Ning family of Dingbei Hou Ning is not in the capital except for Ning Qiye. No one is in the capital. What about Anyuan Hou Su family? The Hou Mansion has no suitable little wife, but there are at least four or five suitable little women in the Su clan. I think their family will definitely give someone away, what does the grandmother think?"

Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement. Her granddaughter, who looked at people and things, had a bit of vision.

"There is also the Gao Envoy's Mansion. Their family does not have a suitable young lady. The clan is all in Shanxi. His family does not count. The rest of the Shangshu Mansions... there are no suitable young ladys. Yong'an Bo Mansion? Mrs. Zhao Liu is so spoiled, but she is not sure, she is also one."

"Grandma Hua from Yong'an Bo Mansion is the niece of Mrs. Hua from Sui Guofu, so I have to count it." Mrs. Sun continued with a smile.

"The ninth lady of the Shilang Zhao's family is not bad, although the family is a little lower." Mrs. Jie Er continued to count down and counted the various families in the capital. Mrs. Sun kept laughing, "You child, there are no families you don't know about in the capital."

"Of course." Xie Er's wife raised her chin proudly, "Wheng Weng said that being able to be successful is an article. Didn't you also say that accumulating favors means accumulating blessings on the road to the upward path."

"Look, you are smart!" Mrs. Sun reached out and pinched the second lady's cheek, and smiled very dotingly.

"It's all the great lady who taught me very much!" Xie Er's wife hugged Mrs. Sun, rubbed her cheeks on the great lady's shoulders, and accompanied Mrs. Sun for a long time before she left Mrs. Sun's room.

After leaving Mrs. Sun's courtyard, Jie Er's wife made careful calculations again as she walked. After a while, she made up her mind and waved to the big girl Licorice and ordered: "There are some old white teas that have been stored in our warehouse for ten years. You can go to the warehouse and choose..."

Xie Er Madam calculated, "Seven tea cakes come out, wrap them carefully, take them back and give them to me, go quickly."

Licorice took the order and left. Xie Er's wife returned to her yard, took out the incense paper that she had smoked with her own hands, ordered her to grind the ink, sat down, and wrote seven or eight letters in person, packed them. When Licorice took the tea cakes, she put the letters and tea cakes in the box, and called a few mothers who were in charge of picking up people and treating guests and delivering things to the place where they were sent to the place where Zhou Bazi and other young ladies of the Duke of Suiguo's Mansion.

These little ladies were all the ones she had just calculated with her grandmother, Mrs. Sun, and the most likely ones to be selected into the palace.
