Chapter 209 096 Daughter Marriage (1)

096 Daughter Marriage (1)

In the 29th year of Chengxi, the first emperor passed away, and the prince Huo Lanyuan ascended to the throne at only fifteen years old.The crown prince Taifu He Shusheng was granted the title of Taishi, an official of the first rank.He Shusheng is deeply trusted and valued by the prince, and now he is very popular, and everyone fawns on him.

Others heard that the prince was framed by the second prince, and He Shusheng tried his best to protect him. Not only did he lose his official position, but he was also imprisoned for three years.

The prince was deposed, but he always remembered his mentor in his heart.

The second prince is smart, and his mother and concubine are also the most favored by the emperor, and the emperor loves the second prince very much.Many people said that the second prince's mother concubine, Concubine Yu, was beautiful, but all the senior officials in the court knew that Concubine Yu's appearance was very similar to that of the former empress, Shangguan Xiu'an, so she was the only favorite for more than ten years.

People can't always live up to the years.Although Concubine Yu was beautiful, she was extremely weak. She died of illness in the year when the second prince made him the crown prince.

When Concubine Yu died, the second prince was so hurt that he fell off his horse while riding in the suburbs.With a broken back, it is impossible to sit up in this life.

Although the emperor doted on him, he couldn't withstand the pressure of the court's veterans, so he had to recall the deposed eldest prince Huo Lanyuan and make him the crown prince.

Huo Lanyuan returned to the capital, and he showed his kindness to all the ministers who made trouble when he was down and down, saying that he would not care about it, and said that in the future, the country and society will depend on the help of ministers and veterans; as for those who desperately help him, Will double the repayment, He Shusheng was rescued from prison, promised to be a high official and generous salary.

Huo Lanyuan's actions won him hearts and support in the capital. Those ministers who had betrayed him also dispelled their scruples, thinking that the eldest prince had something in his heart and he must be the master of the world, so they all joined him.As soon as the first emperor died, the second prince's henchmen were ready to move.

But Huo Lanyuan has already grasped the general trend. Although there were minor twists and turns, he finally climbed to the ninth five position smoothly.Those ministers who were worried that he would settle accounts later after he ascended the throne have been trembling with fear.

Huo Lanyuan summoned them and said: "At the beginning, the world belonged to the emperor, and you were just courtiers, so you naturally surrendered to your ideas; now the world belongs to me, and you are all pillars. If there are no ministers, who will share my worries and problems? Back then The matter is also forced by the situation, so you don't have to worry about it..."

In this way, his world is peaceful, the country is prosperous and the people are strong.

Chengxi was 30 years old, Anxiu was 39 years old, and Nangong Youchu was 37 years old. They are all middle-aged.

Nangong Shaohua is 14 years old.Swimming with Nangong, I learned a whole body of good skills, such as horseback riding, archery, swords, guns and sticks, everything is excellent.

It's just that she doesn't know how to knit women's red, and Anxiu has a special headache for this.

Now it's the end of the year again, after the new year, Nangong Shaohua has reached the age of Jiji, so it should be said that they are kissing each other.

Nangong You went out and told Anxiu about several families, but Anxiu was not very satisfied.Either there are too many relatives in the family or the boy is not good enough.

In Anxiu's heart, her daughter is a treasure, and no one else is worthy of her.

"It's not bad!" Nangong You said with a smile, "Xiu, our daughter will marry sooner or later, it's not her own idea who to marry? Let her choose these people, and I won't blame you or me in the future. Where can people who are not on equal footing suffer?"

"Father, is sister going to say goodbye?" An eight-year-old boy ran in and asked hastily when he heard Nangong You's words.He was wearing a navy blue padded jacket and bright red tiger-toed shoes, and his bloated body looked very cute.

He is Nangong Guixin, the youngest son of Anxiu and Nangongyou.Anxiu hadn't given birth these years, but when Tiaohua was five years old, she became pregnant again and got a son Nangong Guixin.

If Nangong Shaohua's temperament is too brutal, then Nangong Guixin's temperament is too gentle.He was young, never mischievous, just as dignified as an adult.

Seeing his sister wielding a knife and playing sticks, he never envied him. He also said: "It's covered in dust, it's covered in stinky sweat...

The people in the house were overjoyed, saying that the young master was mature.

Guixin's books were read well, and his essays were well written. When he was only six years old, his master couldn't teach him Taoism and said he was a genius.Anxiu didn't like boys who only cared about their studies, so she forced him to learn fencing.Because of his natural gentle personality, swordsmanship is more suitable for him.

Anxiu thought that he was born with an excellent memory, and his hands-on ability might not be good. It was unthinkable. It took Shaohua three years to learn swordsmanship, and he learned it in three months after returning to the letter. It was better than Shaohua's.

Nangong Youchu and Anxiu are sure that their son is an extraordinary person!

When Anxiu and Nangong Youchu saw him, they couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I'm going to say goodbye to your sister. After two years, my sister will get married, and no one will bully you anymore, okay?"

Guixin Duzui thought for a while, and then asked Anxiu: "Mother, then...will others bully my sister? Will others give up all the delicious and fun things to my sister?"

Hearing this, Anxiu and Nangong were taken aback for a moment.

"Gu Xin, sister always bullies you and always steals things, aren't you angry?" An Xiu asked.

"She's a girl!" Gui Xin said solemnly, "Mr. said that boys should give way to girls..."

Both Anxiu and Nangong Youchu couldn't help laughing.Guixin was wearing a black velvet hat, and the clothes on his body were chubby, and his shaking and talking appearance was very pleasant.

Just as she was smiling, the servant girl came in and said, "My lord, master, the Ling residence has sent someone to bring gifts... Miss... Miss won't let Young Master Ling in!"

Anxiu and Nangong Youchu shook their heads helplessly.Guixin jumped up happily when he heard that the people from the Ling residence had arrived: "That's great, brother Zhi is here..."

Zhang Zhenzhen's son, Ling Zhi, is 17 years old this year. His appearance combines the advantages of Ling Erhu and Zhang Zhenzhen.He reads well, is good at using swords, spears, sticks and sticks. Among the younger generation of relatives and friends, Ling Zhi is undoubtedly the best. Even He Yuer's son Huo Ziyan is inferior to Ling Zhi in terms of appearance, talent and martial arts.

During the Dragon Boat Festival the year before last, Ling Zhi came to the house as a guest, and a group of children played around together, and finally there was a martial arts competition.Tiaohua has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and has always been defiant.Both Huo Ziyan and Huo Zijin from Aunt Yu'er's family let her go; Qin Bingwen from cousin Qin Yiran's family also didn't know martial arts.

I don't know what happened, but I pushed Ling Zhi up.Ling Zhi didn't know how savage Shao Hua was, so he compared with her and lost three games in a row to Shao Hua.

In this way, they became enemies, and every time Shao Hua saw Ling Zhi, he would draw his sword to face each other.

When Anxiu and Nangong swam out to the entrance of the Xiyuan Road with Guidance, a large group of maids and servants surrounded the entrance.Ling Zhi and Tiao Hua are competing in martial arts, using short knives.Judging from the posture, Tiaohua pressed on every step of the way, not even a trace, but did not take advantage of it.

"We're going to lose again, let's add more grievances!" An Xiu laughed from the side.

Sure enough, as soon as Anxiu finished speaking, Tiaohua dropped the saber from his hand, and the tiger's mouth was so stunned that it ached, he covered his hands, his face livid.

Ling Zhi had a flat expression on his face, neither happy nor guilty, he just said: "Your desire to win is too strong, and you will be full of flaws. Once you reveal your flaws, you will lose!"

Shao Hua snorted, and kicked Ling Zhi directly in anger.

A kick kicked Ling Zhi's ribs under the armpit, and everyone heard a crisp crunch, and their hearts trembled: This savage lady kicked and broke Young Master Ling's ribs.

Ling Zhi just snorted and continued to smile.

Shaohua was also stunned, although she used [-]% of her strength just now, people who have practiced martial arts can easily dodge this move, why didn't he dodge?
I'd rather break my ribs...

"Master Hou, master..." Someone spotted Nangong and Anxiu behind him, and hurriedly made way for them.

The servant girl who was watching the show just now lowered her head hurriedly.Only then did Anxiu discover that the people watching the opera in the courtyard included Aunt Chunyu's daughter Ying'er, Aunt Qiushuang's daughter Siqiao and their personal maids.

An Xiu originally wanted to teach Shao Hua a few words, how could she be so savage and ignorant?But when the servants were present, she was afraid that Shaohua's face would be embarrassing, so she didn't say anything after all.Anxiu loves Shaohua so much and thinks of her in everything, that's why she spoils her lawlessly.

"It's all gone!" Anxiu's voice revealed majesty.

Ying'er and Si Qiao also left in a hurry.Ying'er is now 16 years old, and she has promised to be a wife to the young master of the prefect's family in Quzhou. She will get married on March 15th next year; Siqiao is [-] years old and has not yet married. Anxiu has been helping her choose a husband's family recently.

These two young girls are He Youbao's lifeblood.

Ying'er is Aunt Chunyu's daughter, she doesn't have Chunyu's gentleness and gracefulness, but looks like Qiushuang, fierce and mean, with unforgiving words; Siqiao is Aunt Qiushuang's daughter, but she is very gentle, even a little cowardly.

The servants all said: These two ladies were born in the wrong birth.Ying'er should be Aunt Qiushuang's daughter, her personality is too much like Qiushuang, she doesn't have the softness of Chunyu; Siqiao is Qiushuang's biological daughter, but she is not like Qiushuang at all, she hides when things happen, she is a cowardly and useless person. .

"Zhi'er, are you hurt?" Seeing that Ling Zhi's face was a little pale, An Xiu could not help glaring at Shao Hua because he might have kicked him hard just now.

"Nothing, auntie." Ling Zhi hurriedly shook his head.

"You're stupid, you're obviously kicking, and you still don't hide?" Shaohua roared, she was so loud because of guilt in her heart.

Ling Zhi didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled.

Shaohua's heart twitched slightly, but the anger on his face remained undiminished, and he turned and ran away.

Nangong helped Ling Zhi take a look, and then said, "It's not broken, but it was kicked very hard. Go ask someone to rub some medicinal wine for you..."

"Thank you uncle!" Ling Zhi said politely.

"The next time you deliberately lose to her, if you lose a few times, she won't find fault." Nangong Jiao Ling Zhi said.He knew that Ling Zhi was always smart, so why couldn't he see through this matter?

Ling Zhi thought for a while, and then said: "Uncle, if this is the case, Shaohua's martial arts and fighting ability will never improve. If something happens in the future, she will fall harder... Zhi'er doesn't want Shaohua to suffer more setbacks…”

Anxiu and Nangong Youchu didn't answer the conversation.

************************************************** ********
Ling Erhu recently brought back a lot of New Year's goods from Linzhou Mansion, and asked Ling Zhi to deliver them to Ninghou Mansion himself before the year.When Ling Zhi went back, An Xiu also gave many things to Zhang Zhenzhen and Ling Erhu.

Such a small child can now run errands, and the years make people grow old, so it is impossible to refuse!
At night, Anxiu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she took out all the children of her friends at home and thought about it, then pushed Nangong out: "Are you asleep?"

Nangong Youchu smiled: "You tossed and turned, I was woken up by you a long time ago... What, is there something bothering you?"

It was dark at night, so he called the little maid who was watching the night to light a lamp.Through the hazy light, you can still see each other's faces clearly.An Xiu thought to herself, they were still so young in the past, but now their daughter has reached the age of engagement.

"I'm thinking about Shaohua's marriage!" Anxiu said, "Nangong, can you see that Ling Zhi has feelings for us, Shaohua!"

"Since this is the case, shouldn't it be good to decide on Ling Zhi?" Nangong You said, "Compared to Ziyan from Yu'er's family and Bingwen from Yiran's family, I think Ling Zhi is better. It's not just pampering Shaohua blindly, but it's for Shaohua's better..."

Anxiu said after a while: "Although Ling Zhi is good...but their house is too messy. There are so many aunts, only three brothers and five concubine brothers. They will all become families in the future. Isn't it a fight to the death? With that overshadowing temperament, in the future, Shaohua will be her daughter-in-law, and she will not be angry with her? I am afraid of Zhenzhen. Although she loves Shaohua, she is not her own mother after all... "

Nangong Youchu couldn't help laughing, feeling that Anxiu was worrying too much.But he was unwilling to go against An Xiu's will all his life, so he asked: "Then who do you think is better? Ziyan from Yu'er's family is also good, the son of the Hou family, he is a good match with our family."

"It's good to be well-matched. But Ziyan is like our Shaohua. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. The young master has a temper. Do you expect him to give way to Shaohua? If Shaohua marries him, he will not be angry? Yu'er knows Shaohua's temper, and she is special." Baby her son, she is also afraid that Shaohua will bully Ziyan." An Xiu immediately denied Huo Ziyan.

Nangong You wanted to laugh again, so he asked, "Then who do you think is better? How about Huo Zijin? It's been five years since he lost his wife, and now he's also the capital of the third rank. He's still the son of Marquis of Zhennan. Good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and knitting, it would be good to marry a sergeant, and they will hit it off as husband and wife!"

"Thank you for thinking it out, Huo Zijin is 13 years older than our Shaohua!" An Xiu said speechlessly.

"Huo Kunlin is ten years older than Yu'er, look at them..."

"Huo Zijin is widowed... shall we, Shaohua, go to reunite?" An Yuan glared at Nangong.

"Back then... Huo Kunlin also lost his wife." Nangong laughed.

Anxiu concludes.

Nangong Youchu knew that she would not agree to marry her daughter to Huo Zijin, so she just said it casually, and then said: "What about Bingwen? Now the Qin family is the richest man in the southeast..."

"Forget it, is their family really richer than ours?" An Xiu asked back.It's just that she doesn't want to talk about her family property, and Qin Yuan came forward to help her take care of many businesses, so people know that Qin Yuan is rich.In fact, half of Qin Yuan's property should belong to An Xiu.

Nangong Youchu shook his head helplessly, turned around and fell asleep, and said: "In my opinion, Shaohua should choose by himself! You care too much, but you lose the most fundamental thing, which is whether Shaohua likes that man. I think Tiaohua doesn't understand the feelings of men, and seems to treat Ling very well... I'm afraid she will be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family in the future..."

An Xiu felt feverish from thinking about it, but she still didn't think of someone better, so she had to fall asleep.

My daughter's marriage is really worrying, I only hope that the marriage of conversion in the future will not need to be so worrying.

************************************************** *************
In a blink of an eye it is the New Year.

On the third day of the first lunar month, He Yuer went back to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings. Huo Kunlin, Huo Zijin, and Huo Ziyan were also He Yuer's seven-year-old daughter, Huo Lixu.Knowing that He Yu'er was coming, Anxiu sent someone to pick up Zhang Zhenzhen, Ling Erhu, Ling Zhi, and Zhang Zhenzhen's other two youngest sons, 12-year-old Ling Jia and ten-year-old Ling Jian.

The adults talked together, and the children also got together to play together.

The younger ones, Ling Jia, Ling Jian, Huo Lixu, and Nangong Guixin have already followed the little maids to the backyard to eat delicious food.

The older ones watched plays outside and under the stage.Huo Zijin was the oldest, and he didn't want to get together with children. He would rather talk with He Yuer and Huo Kunlin.But Anxiu asked him to follow his younger siblings and watch them stop fighting.

Although Huo Zijin couldn't laugh or cry, he still didn't want to go against An Xiu's wishes and follow these little devils.

Huo Ziyan is 16 years old, Ling Zhi is 17 years old, Shao Hua is 14 years old, plus Yinger and Linshui who are 16 years old, how can they be interested in watching a movie?
Only Si Qiao didn't come.She doesn't like crowds, and she will feel uncomfortable if there are too many people.

Huo Zijin looked at them and felt that he was really old.

Shaohua thought for a while, and ordered the servants to say: "Go to the Qin Mansion and ask Qin Bingwen to come and play, so that some people think that he is the only one with good knowledge in this world, and think of ways to compete with us."

Some people are talking about Ling Zhi.

Huo Zijin looked at Shaohua, thinking that this girl was too capricious and savage, Ling Zhi ignored her at all, she had to find out what happened, and whoever married her in the future would suffer for the rest of her life.

After a while, Qin Bingwen came.He was dressed in a lavender robe, with a quiet and gentle demeanor, with a faint smile on his lips: Compared with Huo Ziyan's banditry and Ling Zhi's indifference, he is a gentle son who makes the girl's heart beat.

How many girls in Suqu County admire him, but he only loves to be dispatched by Nangong Shaohua, which is exactly what he loves.

As soon as Qin Bingwen came, Nangong Shaohua glanced at Ling Zhi proudly.

Ling Zhi didn't show any expression and continued to watch the play.There is no dinner yet, so I can only pass the time by watching a play or fighting with each other.Ling Zhi was very tired of such competitions, it was so boring, why not watch a play!
Shaohua's provocation was not responded to, and she suddenly became furious.

Huo Zijin took her expression into his eyes, and suddenly remembered his dead wife.Now that I think about it, his wife is also a willful woman who followed him to kill the enemy before being beheaded by someone!In order to avenge his beloved wife, Huo Zijin broke into the enemy's camp alone, and was hit by several arrows. He killed a bloody path and took the enemy's head.

Because of that incident, he was rewarded for his meritorious service, and he was granted the Tidu of the third rank.In the past, his subordinates thought that he was just relying on his father's reputation, but later they really obeyed him.

Huo Zijin personally trained a Huo family army. They were brave and good at fighting, and they were hailed as the army of gods by the people in the southeast.

Seeing the jealousy between their young people, Huo Zijin felt that it was boring, so she wanted to get up and go for a walk.

The same is the Hou's Mansion, compared to Ningnan Hou's Mansion, their Zhennanhou's Mansion is much more shabby.The income of the family is only the fief and his father's military salary, but Ningnan Hou has a fief, a shop, and a large number of businesses. In terms of money, no one in the southeast can match it.

Passing by an exquisite small courtyard, I suddenly heard singing coming from the courtyard.The old poem is sung: "There are plums, but they are actually seven. I beg my common man, and I will give them auspiciousness. I will have plums, but they are actually three. I beg my common man, and I will give them today. I beseech you, a commoner, to call him..."

Although Huo Zijin was a soldier with little literacy, he knew this poem.It is a poem written by a young girl Huaichun. When a woman sees plums falling, she expresses the emotion of longing for an early marriage.

The singing was so sweet and melodious that Huo Zijin stopped involuntarily.

The walls of the house here are reddish-brown, with two or three plum blossoms floating across the wall, and the green bamboo leaves can still be seen from the outside.

"Miss, you sing really well!" the maid complimented, "What does this song mean?"

"...It's just for fun, it's not interesting..." The woman's voice was beautiful.

Huo Zijin thought, Miss?Is it Aunt He Youbao's daughter?He had long heard that Ningnan Hou's adoptive father had two daughters, one was married and the other was waiting in his boudoir.

"My lord, what are you doing here?" A little maid came back from the kitchen with food, Huo Zijin was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Are you lost?"

Looking at Huo Zijin's clothes, she knew that he was the son of a wealthy family.It's only the third day of junior high school today, there are many distinguished guests in the Hou's mansion, and a stage is set up in front, which is very lively.But their Miss Si Qiao just didn't like such excitement, she said she couldn't go away because of her illness, which prevented them little maids from going to see it.

Aunt Qiushuang was competitive all her life, but she gave birth to Siqiao, who seemed to have seen through the world at a young age, and was unwilling to fight for anything. She hid behind her back and was bullied by Aunt Chunyu's daughter Ying'er.

Everyone said it was retribution.At the beginning, Qiushuang always bullied Chunyu, but now her daughter is being bullied by Chunyu's daughter.

Hearing the little maid talking outside the door, Si Qiao knew that there was a man standing outside the courtyard, and she was still a young man, and she felt ashamed immediately.The little girl didn't understand such singing, but others might understand it.

Si Qiao wished she could find a hole in the ground to get in, so she hurried back to the house.

"I just happened to get lost! I'm the eldest son of Zhennan Houfu, which lady are you? Can you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Huo Zijin really wanted to see the singing girl, so she asked own identity.

The Ningnan Hou Mansion knew that the people in the Zhennan Hou Mansion were close relatives of their family. When the little girl heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "My lord, please come in, our lady is just at home! Our lady is the old lady's aunt Qiushuang Siqiao's daughter..."

If their young lady can marry to the Zhennan Hou Mansion in the future, these little maids will also enjoy the blessings.

Huo Zijin stepped into the yard, but there was an inexplicable tension in his heart, as if a young man was about to meet his sweetheart.
