Madam Dowager sat on the stool for a long time. "Is it true?"
"This matter was personally said by the great eunuch serving His Majesty. There is absolutely no falsehood," Ye Shaoming said.
The old mistress only regained her senses after a long while.
A look of pity flashed across his face.
At the age of fifteen, he became the top scorer. In the future, he would have a meteoric rise, not to mention that his fourth grandson looked smart.
If the Emperor took a liking to him, he would have a bright future at this age.
It was only a matter of time before he could bring honor to his ancestors. Ye Shaoming seemed to be able to do so, but he was indeed not as good as Ye Shaohua. Moreover, Ye Shaoming was already nineteen this year. No matter how high he climbed in the future, he would not be able to reach Ye Qingweng's level.
Madam Dowager had placed all her hopes on her fourth grandson, but she didn't expect him to offend the emperor for some unknown reason.
He would rather betroth his princess to a bangyan than take a zhuangyuan as his son-in-law.
In the end, the Old Mistress could not help but sigh. The more expectations there were, the more disappointment there was.
**
At this time, Ye Shaohua was taking Aunt Mei to add some jewelry.
In the largest Xuan Ge jewelry store in the capital, the boss saw Ye Shaohua coming and immediately became respectful.
Just as he wanted to say something, Ye Shaohua gave him a look, and he immediately changed his words.
"Shopkeeper, bring all the good stuff to my mother," Ye Shaohua held a fan in her right hand and tapped it on the palm of her left hand. "Put it in my account."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say more. He immediately winked and let people bring all the precious items in the shop to Ye Shaohua.
Mei Yiniang was not surprised by such things in recent years. However, she was a half-old person and didn't have so many needs. She just saw a beautiful hairpin and thought about what it would be like on Ye Shaohua's head.
Almost all of them were young girls' accessories.
"These are all wrapped up. They will be sent to Ye's house later." Ye Shaohua saw that Mei Yiniang didn't choose one for herself, so she waved her hand.
Mei Yiniang was so angry that she twisted Ye Shaohua's arm. "Yiniang has nothing to use. You can't spend money like this …"
"Yes, yes … I won't dare to do it again." Ye Shaohua raised her fan and swore.
This scene made the Xuan Pavilion owner's eyebrows twitch.
He did not dare to look at Ye Shaohua's face.
He thought to himself, 'Everything has its vanquisher.'
However, women are women after all. When they get to the car, Mei Yi Niang looks at the beautiful jewelry and fabrics Ye Shaohua has picked out. She is still dazzled.
"Concubine Mei, Fourth Young Master, you came back just in time. Master and Old Madam are waiting for you in the main hall." As soon as the housekeeper saw them, he immediately stopped them and said respectfully.
Ye Shaohua told Liu 'er to take the person who sent the jewelry to Pear Garden, and then she followed Mei Yiniang to the hall.
The butler was stunned for a long time when he saw Liu 'er and the others holding jewelry with the logo of Xuan Pavilion.
He could not be blamed for being stunned.
He had heard of this Xuan Pavilion before. It seemed to be the same family as the Everlasting Spring House. Not only in their dynasty, but they had already spread all over the world. It was said that the owner behind them was the richest man in the world, Young Master Jinghong. Even the imperial palace did not have as much money as them.
Eldest Miss had bought jewelry from the Xuan Pavilion once or twice, but she was reluctant to wear it.
Once Concubine Mei moved, she moved a large number of them back.
How could the butler not feel strange?
Seeing that Mei Yi Niang came back, the expressions of the old lady and the others faded.
"You two sit," the old lady looked at Ye Shaohua, and a trace of pity flashed between her eyebrows. "His Majesty has just issued an imperial edict. You will follow Young General Yang to the battlefield. Although it is rare for a civil official to follow a military official to the battlefield, it is not impossible. You will follow Young General Yang to the border in seven days. This trip is extremely dangerous. Grandmother believes that you will come back to bring honor to your ancestors. "
The words were pleasant to hear, but who didn't know the danger of the barbarians?
Even Young General Yang had a narrow chance of survival, let alone a scholar who had the strength to truss a chicken.
Mei Yi Niang heard the old lady's words and was shocked, "What? Go to the battlefield? "
Seeing her like this, Ye shi and Ye Jin's eyes flashed a trace of ridicule.
The old lady's words were pleasant to hear, bringing honor to her ancestors, but it was just polite words. Everyone knew that the Emperor disliked the zhuangyuan.
Although there were civil officials who went to the battlefield from ancient times to the present, there was only one case of a zhuangyuan going to the battlefield.
Before today, there were many people who came to the Ye family to propose marriage to Ye Shaohua. But today, as soon as the imperial edict came out, these matchmakers never came again. This had already explained the direction of the capital.
"Mei Yi Niang, you are not in a hurry to promote her as a second wife," Ye shi saw that the old lady did not speak, and then said, "Wait until the fourth young master comes back from the battlefield."
Before, because Ye Shaohua became the zhuangyuan, the old lady and others thought that Mei Yi Niang's status was too low.
After discussing with Ye Qingweng, they decided to promote Mei Yi Niang as a second wife.
In this way, Ye Shaohua could also be considered a legitimate wife.
But at this moment, Ye shi proposed to move the matter of the second wife, and the old lady did not object.
Mei Yi Niang did not care at all whether she became a second wife or not. She just looked at the old lady in a daze, and her heart was shocked, "I … my son is going to the battlefield?"
"That's it," the old lady did not want to see Mei Yi Niang, and directly raised her hand, "you go back and pack for him first."
After speaking, she directly waved her hand to let Mei Yi Niang go.
Along the way, Mei Yi Niang was lost. She held Ye Shaohua's hand, and her eyes were red.
Forget about the zhuangyuan, now her daughter was going to the battlefield … That was the battlefield. If she was not careful, she would lose her life.
