    Because the situation was urgent, everything was simplified. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War lived in harmony as never before. They worked together to help the British Duke mobilize enough food and grass and a hundred thousand troops. The British King did not waste time. On the day when the army and food and grass were ready,  , and hurriedly led the troops to go on an expedition.

    Emperor Ming Ling led hundreds of officials to see him off in person.

    When the news spread, many people came to see him off spontaneously. Qiao Mu also went out specially to join in the fun. He also took a look at the military appearance and discipline of the army when they went out, so as to estimate the success rate of their expedition.  .

    Although the court looked safe, it was suddenly attacked from the north and the south and fighting on two fronts. Qiao Mu was still a little worried about whether the court could handle it. At this time, she came over to see the army, not only to join in the fun, but also to reassure herself. However, when she saw  When he saw the army below and the British Duke who was quite old and energetic, he let out a long sigh.

    When the time comes for the imperial court to recruit people, there are no young generals available. This is such a scary thing. If this generation of veteran generals dies, what will happen to the future? Although these problems are not imminent, they are indeed  It is indeed a real problem. Qiao Mu feels that she can live for another forty or fifty years, so naturally she has to think more deeply. She does not want to face troubled times when she is over one hundred years old.

    Therefore, after watching the emperor's actions for the soldiers, Qiao Mu hurried back, preparing to speed up his sea trade process, and also changed his original plan, from occupying only two small islands as transit points, to trying to occupy as many islands as possible.  Occupy more islands that can be planted and have a large area.

    To prepare for the future.

    However, these things are not trivial, and they cannot be completed in a short time, so there is still waiting for the next step. After the army went out, they announced that the biggest thing for the Hou Mansion was not sea trade, but the affairs of their juniors.  Although Qiao Mu did not intervene in the marriage matter, Xiao still had to show it to Qiao Mu after finalizing the candidate, and only with Qiao Mu's permission could he make a formal decision.

    The new year is approaching, and it is a good time to find a good day to decide on the marriage of her son and daughter. Therefore, after Ms. Xiao finalized the candidates for her daughter-in-law and son-in-law, she hurriedly took the information of those two people and  Portrait, came to Qiao Mu's yard, and asked Qiao Mu for instructions.

    In the yard, the trees are covered with clothes and lying in the sun, basking in the sun. Not to mention, the winter sunshine is more comfortable than the sunshine in the other three seasons. It is not as changeable as spring and autumn, nor as hot as summer.  , with a warm body-warming feeling, which is really comfortable.

    After Mrs. Xiao walked in, she first asked the nanny next to her and found out that Qiao Mu was just closing her eyes to rest her mind and was not asleep. Then she stepped forward:

    "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I"

    "I know it's you. It's about the marriage of Min'er and Wen'er. They are indeed quite old. They are both sixteen years old. Others of the same age have either already started a family or have already married.  You have already made an engagement, and I can understand that you are a little anxious. However, the date cannot be set too early. The actual wedding day should be pushed back at least one or two years. The engagement can be set one or two years in advance. However, the actual wedding day  The date will have to wait until they are at least eighteen years old.

    ??Okay, tell me which two companies you have chosen, and tell me the specifics.  "

    Qiao Mu didn¡¯t open her eyes, she was still lying on the recliner with her eyes closed, but her meaning was already very clear. It didn¡¯t matter if she got engaged, but the marriage had to be postponed for another year or two, so it couldn¡¯t be too early.

    This is also for the sake of her grandchildren.

    Although the age of sixteen can be basically considered mature, and even the ability to give birth to children is already available earlier, but it does not mean that the ability to give birth to children does not mean that it is the most suitable time to give birth to children. Generally speaking, women are ten  After the age of four, you can have the ability to give birth to an heir, but to give birth to an heir at this age can be said to be a joke with your own life, especially in this era of underdeveloped medicine, the mortality rate can exceed half. In fact, women  The most suitable age for having children is around twenty to twenty-six years old. Male development is slower, basically two years later than that of females.

    However, with the current times, it is too late for Qiao Mu to push the marriage age of his grandchildren to eighteen years old. If he pushed it to the twenties, the best age for childbearing, he would probably be called an old pervert by others.  .

    "After all, other people are thinking about having their great-grandchild as soon as possible, but your family is still delaying it. Whoever hears this can't help but mutter a few words. Is there something wrong with it?"

    ¡°Mother-in-law, wouldn¡¯t it be good to delay it for another two years?

    Min'er and Wen'er are both very young now, and the daughters of Prince Jing's family of the same age have already passed away this year.It¡¯s the second one, and our family hasn¡¯t gotten engaged yet.  "

    Ms. Xiao still wanted to persuade her again.

    But Qiao Mu obviously would not listen to the advice: "If I say delay it for two years, delay it for two years. If you are afraid of others saying something bad, just say that my old lady is reluctant to part with her granddaughter and wants to keep her for two more years.

    Tell me which one you like.  "

    "Okay, mother-in-law, the husband I chose for Min'er is the eldest son of Hu Shangshu's family. Hu Shangshu is the Minister of Rites. The Hu family is also a famous Qingliu gentry. Their eldest son is called Hu Weiju. Although he did not win the Jinshi this year,  He won the prize at such a young age, which is pretty good.

    ¡°And the eldest son of their family has always had a good reputation outside, and there are no cluttered concubines or maids in the family. Although they may be a little poorer, their family does not have a mother-in-law to pressure them"

    Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao suddenly started to sweat on her forehead.

    In front of her mother-in-law, she said that it would be a good marriage for someone without her mother-in-law. Even if she did not have any thoughts in her heart, there was no guarantee that her mother-in-law would not think she had any thoughts. However, she was also clumsy and did not know how to explain it for a while.

    "It's good not to have a mother-in-law. Once you enter the house, you can be the master of the house. By the way, besides not having a mother-in-law, do you have a sister-in-law or something at home?"

    " Qiao Mu is not his original self, so how could he get angry over such a trivial matter? What's more, isn't this the way he plans for his children?  Totally understandable.

    ¡°No¡­no sister-in-law.

    Their family only has two sons, both legitimate sons. It was said there that the family will be separated as soon as their youngest son gets married. I think this family background is pretty good. The most important thing is that Hu Weiju himself is quite qualified.  , plus his father is still the Minister of Rites, it should not be a problem to get an official position of fifth rank or above in the future.

    ¡°Although it might be better to marry someone of a noble family, I really can¡¯t find a few good ones of the same age in the noble circle, so, mother-in-law"

    It is precisely because she is in the circle of nobles that Ms. Xiao is more aware of the chaos in the circle of nobles. Anyone who is truly good for her daughter will never want to marry her daughter to the same nobles.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
