Since the most curious person couldn't ask, I had to ask about something else.
As for how their relationship broke through and progressed, we will see if it can be worked out from my uncle in retrospect.
"What does Miss Fang's family think of my uncle?
Does he approve of this marriage?"
Speaking of marriage, Fang Anyue's voice was a little softer than before: "My parents are gone too, and my brother has been eager to marry me off for a long time.
He was nagging me before that no one wants me even after I am over 20 years old." , I am afraid that I will be an old girl at home for the rest of my life.
Now that I am getting married, he is very happy and said that in addition to the house and shop in the capital, he will also buy me some more things."
Xie Ning almost laughed.
Miss Fang is too honest, how could she just say these words?
Other girls have to be reserved at times like this.
No matter what, she can't say that she is worried about getting married and hates getting married.
She just wants to be satisfied if she can get married.
The Fang family acted as if they were afraid of being disliked by their uncle, and the dowry they prepared for her was not ordinary generous.
Of course, Xie Ning also understood what the eldest brother of the Fang family was thinking.
If it were her, she would also be worried about this matter.
It was already early for people to get married at this time.
Xie Ning didn't say anything about it himself.
He was selected and entered the palace at the age of fourteen.
Now he is not yet twenty and has already given birth to the second prince.
This is not too early.
And Fang Anyue stayed at home until she was in her twenties and was still unmarried.
She could be regarded as an out-and-out old girl.
How could the family not worry that as long as someone was willing to marry, they would have to catch the son-in-law quickly?
I stayed there, for fear that he would regret it and run away.
Of course my uncle is not that kind of person.
He doesn't think about things in a hurry.
Now that I have decided to propose marriage, I will not change my mind and say not to get married.
So this girl Fang is already Xie Ning's confirmed aunt-in-law.
When Miss Fang said "Brother Ji Yun" when talking about her little uncle, and her big, bright eyes seemed to be shining, you knew how much she felt about her little uncle. very nice.
Xie Ning was really happy, the first time in so many days.
There is someone who cares about my uncle like this, and he also has her in his heart.
It is such a rare fate for two people to meet and know each other like this, and it is even more rare to be able to understand each other.
From now on, my uncle will no longer be alone.
With Miss Fang accompanying him and caring for him, the family can rest assured.
While they were talking, Lin Jiyun and the eldest prince had already moved to the eldest prince's room to talk.
The eldest prince will go to the south study room to study in the past few days.
There are things he will use in the room, including books, pens and ink, and a book bag sewn by Fang Shanggong himself.
The desk is full of books and it looks very busy.
Xie Ning didn't know what they said in the room.
Anyway, when they came out of the room, they were already close as if they had known each other for several years.
I'm really impressed by my uncle's ability to get familiar with things on his own.
Xie Ning has already ordered the dining room, leaving his uncle and the others to have lunch in Yong'an Palace at noon.
The eldest prince was entrusted with important tasks.
Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao entertained the female guests, so of course it was up to him to greet the male guests.
This task obviously suited the eldest prince's appetite.

He asked Lin Jiyun seriously if he had anything he liked or wanted to eat.
His serious appearance made several adults chuckle.
This smile is not mocking.
But a kind, understanding smile.
Seeing such a big child acting like an adult, Xie Ning couldn't help but wonder if the second prince would look like his brother when he grew up to this age.
He also thought, when he was this old, would he look like an adult?
This is also how you have to behave like an adult, and you want your elders to look at you differently.
Lin Jiyun said with a smile: "I'm not picky about food, everything I eat tastes delicious.
There are many times when I can only eat dry food for many days in a row.
By the way, I also learned the unique skill of barbecue during this trip.
There are many things in the kitchen.
If you don’t ask them to give you some mutton meat, some household items, charcoal, etc., I’ll show you my skills.”
He said so, so what's the problem?
Xie Ning immediately ordered to go down.
Soon someone was sent from the dining room to deliver the needed things, and a little eunuch who was here to help came.
The eldest prince, Princess Yuyao and the others had never seen such a bunch of things before, and they crowded around them as if they were looking at a fresh Western scene and were reluctant to leave.
Lin Jiyun didn't need help from others.
He rolled up his sleeves and set up the shelf, lit a fire, cut the meat into pieces, marinated it slightly, and then grilled it over the fire.
Fireworks were rising for a while, and soon you could smell the aroma of meat.
Yong'an Palace has never been so lively.
"Stand back, each of you is wearing either silk or satin, and a single spark will completely ruin your clothes."
Lin Jiyun waved his hand to them to move further away, but the eldest prince was reluctant to stand far away, for fear that if he stood too far away, he would be hurt.
Can't see clearly.
Lin Jiyun cut off a small piece with a knife to taste the heat, then cut off another small piece and handed it to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was in a dilemma for a while.
None of the teachings he had received or the etiquette and rules he knew said that he could eat meat by kneading it with his hands.
But he didn't want to, and he wasn't willing to refuse.
Xie Ning was a little worried: "Ying Yi has a weak spleen and stomach.
I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this barbecue."
When the eldest prince heard this, he was afraid that Lin Jiyun would take the meat back, so he took it decisively.
Lin Jiyun said: "This meat is very tender, it should be fine.
Besides, I won't let him eat more, so just have a taste."
The eldest prince took a small bite and felt that the meat was indeed very tender, and his mouth was full of umami.
It was indeed very different from the meals he usually ate.
Fang Shanggong used a fan to drive away the smoke for Xie Ning and said, "This is the flavor of the Western Regions.
It smells really different from the way it is made in the Central Plains."
Xie Ning smiled and said to Fang Anyue: "This is Fang Shanggong next to me.
I'm from the same family as you.
It's a pity that your hometowns are not in the same place.
Otherwise, maybe we can recognize relatives."
Fang Shanggong said hurriedly: "Master is promoting this slave.
Although they are not from the same place, I have also heard of the Fang family in Huizhou, and their reputation is not small."
Fang Anyue was not as reserved as she was at the beginning, and spoke much more freely: "What's wrong with me?
Shang Gong is a female official in the palace, and our family is an ordinary person.
I don't know where Shang Gong comes from.

Where is it from?”
Xie Ning knew this, having heard Fang Shanggong say it before.
"It's near Chuzhou on the edge of Qingjiang River, right?"
Fang Shanggong nodded in agreement.
Fang Anyue said: "My brother and I once went to Chuzhou.
But we didn't stay long at that time and remembered that the ducks in Chuzhou were delicious.
Rub them with salt inside and outside, then steam them with tea leaves and pour them over The sauce tastes very tender.
This is a good way to cook the local duck.
Even if it is cooked in a rich red sauce, the duck meat always feels fishy and hard and not delicious at all. " Xie Ning turned around to look, and sure enough he saw a trace of melancholy and nostalgia on Fang Shanggong's face.
He must have thought that the dish Miss Fang mentioned was indeed the flavor of her hometown.
I don’t know if the dining room can make this steamed duck dish, so remember to tell them later and let them try it.
Lin Jiyun's meat was roasted and lunch was served.
This barbecue was also put on the table as a big dish.
Princess Yuyao still sat next to Xie Ning, while the eldest prince sat with Lin Jiyun.
Before Fang Anyue entered the palace, someone told her the rules of entering the palace and also mentioned things to pay attention to when eating.
But she didn't pay much attention at that time.
She didn't think she would eat in the palace.
Looking back at dining in Yong'an Palace now, it seems that there are not as many complicated and deadly rules as that person said.
Lin Jiyun cut the barbecue with a knife and distributed it to everyone, and Xie Ning also tasted a piece.
I feel that this meat is really different from the barbecue I have eaten before.
The meat feels very tender and melts in your mouth.
You can swallow it without chewing.
Fang Anyue also took a bite.
Naturally, this was not the first time she had eaten this delicious barbecue, but unlike others, when she tasted the taste, she immediately remembered the last time she had barbecue.
That time, she and Brother Ji Yun were the only two people, not with anyone else.
She was helpless with the raw meat, but Lin Jiyun cut the meat into sticks in a few seconds, skewered the meat, lit a fire and grilled it.
When the meat was cooked, he sprinkled fine salt on it.
At that time, she felt that she had never eaten such delicious meat in her life.
Everyone at the table was full of praises, and even Princess Yuyao enjoyed the food.
Only the eldest prince rarely eats meat because of his weak constitution.
Now no one dares to let him eat more, so they can only look at meat and sigh.
The snack that was served after lunch was small glutinous rice dumplings and sweet melon soup.
Fang Anyue picked up the soup and took a sip.
The soup was still hot in the mouth, sweet and soft, and it was very comfortable to drink.
"When I get back, I can tell people that I am also a person who has eaten the imperial banquet."
Xie Ning made her amused: "In the future, you can come to the palace often when you have time.
I usually don't have many people coming here.
It would be great if you could come and talk to me."
With Fang Anyue's current status, it is naturally inconvenient for her to enter the palace.
Xie Ning's implication was that she had passed through the door.
After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, she entered the palace as a member of the Lin family.
Everyone else understood the meaning of these words, but Fang Anyue didn't understand it.
She just responded in a serious manner.
In fact, she thinks that the imperial meal is delicious, but it is not as good as others say.
There was a dish on the table that contained shellfish, which was boiled scallops.

Fresh shellfish can only be eaten in places close to the sea.
The capital is not close to the sea, so even the palace cannot eat such things. .
The emperor and the concubine were quite noble, but Fang Anyue did not envy their lives.
She can only stay in the palace and can't go anywhere.
It doesn't matter how rich she is in such a life.
Anyway, if such wealth is given to her, she won't be happy to have it.
Of course, Xie Ning would not accept gifts from her uncle in vain.
She also prepared a lot of things.
"Where is my uncle staying now?"
"I will live in the Fang family's house in Beijing.
When your uncle arrives in Beijing, we will discuss with him whether to rent or buy.
Our family must have a place of its own."
When it comes to buying a house and land, Xie Ning is an outsider.
She has lived in the palace for a long time and doesn't really know much about the lives of the people outside.
But one thing she knew was that it was not easy to find a suitable house in the capital.
The inner city is mainly populated by royal relatives and officials from various ministries.
Many houses were granted to the courtiers, and the houses where the courtiers lived did not belong to them.
When they grew old or died, their family members could no longer stay in the houses and had to move out to make room for those who came after them.
The outer city is much more relaxed than the inner city.
Firstly, there are more choices, and secondly, the price will be much cheaper.
However, officials live in the outer city.
If they want to go to court or go to the Yamen to handle errands, it is too far.
Moreover, the outer city is a mixed bag, which causes many inconveniences.
She couldn't come up with any ideas, so she could only consider the matter after her uncle and aunt came to Beijing.
On the side, Fang Shanggong felt that the Lin family did not really understand their current status.
Why did they need to worry about their place of residence?
The emperor would definitely make arrangements, but Fang Shanggong would not talk too much at this time
