The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 911 How many three years can one have in life?

The Huo family came to propose marriage twice more, but Qiu Zhiyan rejected both offers on the grounds that "my sister is still young."

The more he refused, the more anxious the Huo family became.

The Huo family thought he had other ideas. Now many people know that Qiu Hongyan is not only the sister of the runner-up Qiu Zhiyan, but also the most beloved sister of Princess Haiyan.

"Don't always count on Huo Siwu to win the top spot in the martial arts exam." Shi Anxia reminded Qiu Zhiyan.

In the most recent martial arts examination, Huo Siwu failed again.

"The top three in the imperial examination is just a secular yardstick. How can it measure all the talents in the world?" Shi Anxia never thought that the top three can be achieved by hard work. "Fifteen's talent lies in the ingenious strategy of deploying troops. He was able to enter the Ministry of War, not relying on the protection of the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion, but relying on his own strength."

Today, Huo Siwu is serving as the director of the Fangsi Department in the Ministry of War. Although he is only a sixth-rank official, he is highly regarded by all the generals in the court.

The "Nine Kun Chain Formation" he developed was so impressive that even the Minister of War applauded, which earned him the honor of being promoted out of turn.

In this world, some people are born to wield brushes and paint, and to bring peace to the world with their pens; some people are born to wield swords and rule the world, and to protect the vast land.

Huo Siwu is more like a chess player hidden behind the scenes, using mountains and rivers as the board and pawns as pieces. Every move he makes is a brilliant move that others could not have imagined.

Qiu Zhiyan could tell Shi Anxia's attitude towards Huo Siwu from her conversation and laughter.

He smiled and said, "I had a feud with him in the early years."

When he first entered Wencang Academy, Huo Siwu took the lead in bullying him.

"My cousin is quite vindictive." Shi Anxia smiled.

Qiu Zhiyan actually didn't care about it anymore. "I'm worried that the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion is too complicated. I heard that he doesn't get along with his father and mother."

He didn't know much about the Huo family. He was too busy. He used to be dealing with his mother, but later his heart was in books and the court.

Shi Anxia answered his questions and talked about Huo Sishan's death and how Huo's parents had treated Huo Siwu badly and now they wanted to do their best to make up for it.

She said, "Generally speaking, the Huo family is a good one. If a beauty marries there, she will only be doted on. Besides, she and Huo Siwu have been in love for a long time."

Qiu Zhiyan said, "Then I will agree."

The eldest brother is like a father. Although their father is still alive, it is better not to mention him. Their vision and knowledge are not up to par, and the way of flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak is engraved in their bones.

Qiu Zhiyan looked down on his father.

His father wanted to go to the government several times to sue him for not valuing filial piety, but he always replied, "Go ahead and sue me."

Even a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. His father couldn't do anything to him, so he naturally couldn't control Qiu Hongyan's marriage.

Shi Anxia suggested, "Cousin, you can trust my mother and let her arrange Hongyan's marriage."

Qiu Zhiyan felt warm in his heart, "How can I do that?"

His former aunt was a big shot. Her status as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of the Guard was already noble enough, but who would have thought that after the divorce, she would suddenly become the Empress Dowager. How could he have dared to imagine that?

If she can take care of it, Hongyan will not be bullied even if she is in the circle of powerful women in the capital in the future.

Shi Anxia knew that her cousin had concerns. "In order to give Hongyan support, I originally thought about registering Hongyan under my mother's name and adopting her as my adopted daughter. But you refused, and Hongyan also refused, saying that they didn't want to take advantage of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. In fact, my mother likes Hongyan very much, saying that she is considerate and has a good heart."

Qiu Zhiyan has always had a question in his mind, "Cousin, can you tell me the truth? Why do you treat your beauties differently?"

He didn't think his cousin was a compassionate person; on the contrary, she was ruthless.

What is the reason why she is so good to Hongyan?

Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It must be fate. The beauty caught my eye, and at one glance, I knew she had a kind heart."

Qiu Zhiyan knew she wasn't telling the truth. There were so many kind-hearted people, how could he protect them all?

Since his cousin didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions and agreed to entrust the marriage of his beloved to Tang Chujun.

He had already prepared the dowry, and was only waiting for the complicated three books and six ceremonies. The prince of the Bo family was getting married, so he couldn't be careless.

After the cousins ​​finished talking, Qiu Zhiyan left. Shi Anxia still sat there, drinking tea leisurely.

There are so many things to do, one after another, and people come and go.

Finally, after sending everyone away, Shi Anxia came to Yu Sheng Pavilion.

Tang Chujun looked at his daughter's pointed chin, feeling distressed. "Xia'er, I've already told him to wait for me for another three years. I'll go with you to Tiema City to find a son-in-law."

Shi Anxia raised her eyes, "Three years after three years, mother, do you know how many three years there are in a person's life? Do you really think that three years is the time it takes for a flower to bloom? I don't even know how many stalks have bloomed."

Tang Chujun blushed, "He asked me to wait for three years, so I'll ask him to wait for another three years. This is fair."

Shi Anxia laughed dumbly and talked about business, "Mother, you have more important things to do in the capital. I'll leave the matter of the beauty's marriage to you."

Tang Chujun was stunned but also happy, "Hongyan is going to marry that boy Huo Shiwu?"

Shi Anxia nodded, "The Huo family is proposing marriage, and my cousin will accept it this time." She took out some shop and house contracts from her sleeve and handed them to her mother, "This is my gift to Hongyan, mother, please help me with it. Her dowry is ready, so you can give her some to make her look good."

"Of course." Tang Chujun was always grateful for the food he had received. He had no idea how many delicious things his beloved women had made for him over the years.

No matter what good things the girl did, she would remember to send a copy to Yu Sheng Pavilion. Over time, she had already treated Hongyan as her own daughter.

Tang Chujun said leisurely, "Xia'er, you really won't take me to Tiema City?"

Shi Anxia pressed her hand and said, "Life is long, and we will be able to meet soon. Life is also short, so you and the Emperor Taishang should not waste any more time on me."

Yao Sheng listened for a while and couldn't help but interrupt, "What about me? Xia'er, you have to take me with you."

Shi Anxia shook her head, "Mother, please stay in the Young Master's Mansion and take care of the affairs for me. There are many things to do in the capital, and I feel relieved if you stay here."

Ah Niang was a capable person, worthy of being born in a merchant family and having been a mistress. Many chores were handled by her without any mistakes.

Tang Chujun, on the other hand, could not do these things. She would have to learn from scratch after marrying into the Qingshou Palace. However, in the Qingshou Palace, there was Eunuch Qi in charge of the outer courtyard and Nanny Zhong in charge of the inner courtyard, so there would be no big mistakes anyway.

Shi Anxia made the final decision, "Mother and mother will stay in Beijing."

Seeing his daughter's attitude, Yao Sheng sighed, "You are just worried that the weather in Tiema City will cause my leg disease, and you are afraid that I will suffer."

Shi Anxia smiled coquettishly, her eyes reddened, "Mother knows everything, why don't you listen?"

The mother and her two children hugged each other, crying and laughing, laughing and crying.

Tang Chujun choked up, "Yuan'er is blessed with a long life, she will definitely survive."

Yao Sheng also cried, "My daughter and son-in-law are both blessed people. After this hurdle, they will have a good life in the future."

In this way, the past two days were filled with laughter and tears as people came and went. At that time, Anxia took her children and left Beijing, embarking on the journey to find her husband.

In the morning light, her frail figure boarded the carriage. The sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs startled the magpies on the old elm tree outside the courtyard wall.
