  Chapter 485 Hosting a banquet (one more)

  In the evening of that day, Nanping Hou Mansion hosted a banquet.

  Zhou Che was very ashamed. He came late and did not help Nanping out of the crisis, but followed him to the celebration banquet.

  Although Nanpinghou's injuries were serious, he was able to get out of bed and walk around. He attended the celebration banquet and looked at his two sons. This time Nanping was in danger, he was very useless as a father. Nanping City was defended by two brothers. He was also ashamed and relieved. From now on, he can really rest assured.

  Mrs. Hou was also very touched. He didn't expect that it was Ning Chi who rescued Ning Ze at a critical moment. She was also ashamed of her former self and made up her mind that he would treat Ning Chi as his own son from now on.

  Except for Zhou Gu and Zhou Che, everyone was still injured and could not drink alcohol, so they all substituted tea for wine and watched the two brothers drink each other.

  Ning Yao was in confinement and was unable to attend. Madam Hou and Su Rong, two female relatives, sat together and talked in a low voice.

   Madam Hou is both respectful and close to Su Rong now, "Miss Seven, are you planning to leave for northern Hebei?"

  Su Rong shook his head, "If you don't go to northern Hebei, you should be planning to rush back to the capital."

   Madam Hou was surprised, "Didn't you go to northern Hebei? That Zhang Ping..."

   "If the prediction is correct, Zhang Ping and Zhang Cheng should divide their troops into two groups. One way goes to the capital to seize the throne, and the other way to Nanping, they want to seize this precious land of Nanping and increase their power." Su Rong said: "Now the danger of Nanping is resolved, but the capital may be in danger."

   Madam Hou was startled, and glanced at Zhou Che, who was drinking with Zhou Gu, "Are there enough soldiers in the capital? How did I hear that apart from the 100,000 soldiers brought by Mr. Zhou on Wednesday, it seems that the second son of the Zhou family still has 100,000 soldiers and horses who will come to Nanping for support later?"

   "That's right." Su Rong shook her head, "So naturally it's not enough. The capital has a maximum of 200,000 soldiers and horses, of which 100,000 Jinglu soldiers and horses are under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty." She shook her head, "Your Majesty, Madam, you know that the 100,000 Jinglu soldiers and horses in his hands are not too strong, and they are mostly showy. Zhang Ping's hands are said to have 250,000 soldiers and horses.

   Madam Hou heard the words: "So, you are leaving soon?"

   "Well, we plan to leave Nanping tomorrow." Su Rong said.

   Madam Hou was a little bit sad when she heard the words, "You haven't had a good rest for a few days yet."

  Su Rong knew that she was really reluctant to part with her son, "Why don't you let Ning Ze stay in Nanping to accompany you for a while? Anyway, I won't go to Nanchu for a while. When I come out of the capital and go to Nanchu, he will reconcile with me again."

  Mrs. Hou immediately shook her head, "No need, he has gained a lot of knowledge and grown up after following you. I will keep him at home and let him stay at home for a long time. I will harm him. Let him go with you!"

  Su Rongxiao, the parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans. Mrs. Hou is such a wise person who loves her son. She nodded, "Then he will come with me. Don't worry, follow me. He should be used for his own use, but he should be protected, and he should be protected."

   Madam Hou nodded again and again, "I know Miss Seven's abilities, and I am very relieved."

  Su Rong said: "But you also know that going to Nanchu is still very dangerous."

   "I understand that." Madam Hou nodded again, and sighed softly, "How can life be like living at home without wind and rain? Dangerous is dangerous, and I will pray for him every day."

  He glanced at Ning Ze, and saw him leaning over to talk to Ning Chi. The two brothers didn't know what they said, and they both laughed. Since they were young, their relationship had never been so good. She also laughed, and turned around and said to Su Rong in a low voice: "Miss Seven, there is one thing."

"You say."

   Madam Hou leaned into her ear and said, "I heard that the Fifth Young Lady of the Duke Huguo's Mansion hasn't married yet?"

  Su Rong nodded, "I haven't allowed it yet."

   "Then do you think, my family's eldest son, can I ask for a favor?" Mrs. Hou asked.

  Su Rong looked at her in surprise.

   Mrs. Hou has nothing to lose face, and said in a low voice: "You know what happened in the past. After all, he was not born in my womb. He was the wife and the eldest. I was not at ease, and I always wanted to seek the best for my son. Therefore, I was not only not dedicated to him, but also made troubles everywhere. But now, it is different from before. Although I am a stepmother, since ancient times, the marriage matchmaker still requires the orders of the parents, and the stepmother is also the mother. He has already reached the age of marriage, so he can't let him beg someone else's girl by himself, he still wants me to come forward, this daughter's family in Nanping, I think about it, I don't know who can match him better, now I saw the two sons of the Zhou family, and thought that there seems to be a young lady in the Zhou family who has never been married, so I came up with this idea. "

   "Does your son know what you think?" Su Rong asked.

   "I just came up with this idea, and I want to ask you first, after all, you are more familiar with the Duke Huguo's Mansion." Mrs. Hou said: "The Duke's mansion has a high family status, so I don't know if I can match it."

  Su Rong thought for a while, "Let's ask the prince first, you can ask for it."

  She paused, "However, when I was in the capital, I heard that there will be a draft in the spring of next year, to choose a wife for the prince, and to fill the backyard of the princes. The fourth prince has also reached the marriageable age, and has not yet married a wife."

   Mrs. Hou's heart moved, she lowered her voice and said, "You mean, the girl from the Duke Huguo's Mansion might be the Crown Princess or the Fourth Prince's Concubine?"

   "I don't know about that. As far as the candidate for the crown princess is concerned, the Fifth Miss of the Huguo Gongfu is very suitable. Qin Taifu mentioned it twice in front of the crown prince, but His Royal Highness did not express his position, saying that there is no rush." ​​Su Rong shook his head.

   "This..." Mrs. Hou raised her thoughts and looked at Su Rong, "I don't know much about the ladies in the capital, except for Miss Wu, do you know if there are ladies with better character, talent and appearance?"

  Su Rongxiao, "There are a lot of them, but I haven't stayed in Beijing for a long time, and the number of ladies I have contacted is limited, and the number of times is not many. I am only familiar with Princess Duanhua of the Princess Mansion."

   "It is said that Princess Duanhua is really arrogant?" Mrs. Hou is really planning for Ning Chi now, but she dare not think about Duanhua.

  Su Rongxiao, "The princess's temperament is a bit arrogant, but she is still very cute."

   She saw that Mrs. Hou really wanted to help Ning Chi manage the marriage. She suggested: "In this marriage, apart from the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, we still need to be happy. My mother is in the capital now, and she is in charge of the marriages of my sisters. She is not familiar with the capital. Get in touch, ask Aunt Shen to help you find a few candidates for the son, when the son will go to the capital, arrange privately, meet everyone, and finally choose according to the son's own wishes."

  When Madam Hou heard this, she was immediately tempted, "If this is the case, that would be great. Thank you, Miss Seven."

  Su Rong smiled and shook her head, said "No thanks", then raised jujube tea and clinked glasses with Mrs. Hou.
