Changsun Wuji was already thinking about vomiting blood. He wanted to pick up Li Xiaogong's neck and curse, "Where is your courtesy?" Let’s not talk about the routines and decency of the upper class——
That’s not what you do!
But at this time, there is nothing you can do about vomiting blood.
I have to knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, who wants to lose my face——
He casually made a gesture of invitation, then squinted his eyes and said nothing.
However, I secretly made up my mind to not be polite to this old guy next time.
Li Xiaogong turned around with a cheerful face and cupped his hands towards the warrior Xun.
"I came to visit you this time because I have a happy event and I want to discuss it with Mr. Ying Guo——"
He actually came to ask for a hand in marriage!
Samurai Tong subconsciously glanced at the door of the living room. There were two almost identical gifts. A long-lost smile appeared on his face, which had been troubled by family chores recently.
Today, I have two sons and two daughters.
The sons Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were born to their ex-wives, and they are now married and have children. The two daughters, Wu Shun and Wu Xu, were born to the current wife Yang. Now Wu Xu is still young, but the eldest daughter is already there. It's the age of haircut.
At this age, most of the women among the powerful in Chang'an, even if they were not married, were engaged, but their daughter encountered an embarrassing problem.
It's not that no one came to ask for marriage, but that some dignitaries with no serious business came to ask for marriage.
Thinking of this incident, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I know that today's situation is all caused by myself. Although now he is Duke Ying and the governor of Lizhou, it is an indisputable fact that he has been marginalized since His Majesty ascended the throne.
Not to mention the big shots in the court like Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji, even those whose family status is not as good as their own are rarely paid attention to.
Although he felt sad about this, he had no choice. As an emperor and a courtier, there are many things that cannot be controlled by oneself. Therefore, when he returned to Beijing this time, he had already found a young man who was about the same for this girl among the many suitors. He is a descendant of the Helan family among the Guanlong nobles, and has now become an official because of his family influence.
Although Helan Yueshi's family background is not high, he can be regarded as a son of an official. He is quite handsome in appearance and has a fairly reliable character. Although he felt a little regretful, didn't he, as a father, have no choice?
He had already made plans to finalize his daughter's marriage before leaving Beijing.
Therefore, after hearing Li Xiaogong's intention, he immediately became energetic.
"I don't know which child of the family the prince is talking about——"
"It's my useless grandson, Li Shangdao——"
Upon hearing this, Warrior Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Shangdao, he knows.
Li Xiaogong's direct grandson, a child he had seen, was handsome. Among Li Xiaogong's many grandchildren, he was considered the most capable and the most valued by Li Xiaogong.
It can be seen that this time, Li Xiaogong is full of sincerity.
When he got here, he was already very moved, and the smile on his face became more sincere and sincere.
"It is her good fortune that the little girl can be favored by the King of Hejian County. This matter——"
Just as he was about to agree, he heard Changsun Wuji coughing several times. His heart suddenly moved and he looked at Changsun Wuji.
Regarding this matter, Changsun Wuji couldn't care less about being polite or not.
Just kidding, if you are polite, your daughter-in-law will have to run into someone else's bed——
"What a coincidence, I came here this time also to ask for my hand in marriage——"
Having said this, Changsun Wuji raised his hand to the warrior Xun with a serious look on his face.
"Sun Rui, the eldest son of the dog, has now reached the age where he should start a family and start a business. I admire your daughter's love for being virtuous and kind, and have a beautiful heart. So I have the guts to come and ask for the hand of the dog. I don't know what will happen if it is in line with the will of the country?"
Li Xiaogong:! ! ! ! ! !
This bitch really came here to steal my hand in marriage——
He glared at Changsun Wuji with a dissatisfied look, and Changsun Wuji didn't look down on him either. The old god was watching Warrior Yu on the ground, waiting for Warrior Yu's choice.
Samurai Yu:......
He was both happy and confused at the same time.
If no one comes here, no one will come. Now there are two companies. The key is that between these two companies, it is difficult to choose which one.
"I am really flattered that my little girl can be appreciated by both the prince and the Duke of Qi. Logically speaking, I would be happy to marry any of your families, but this-"
Having said this, he bowed his hands to Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji with some embarrassment.
The words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious, and it was difficult for me to handle.
Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts. They did not expect that they would crash even if they came to ask for marriage.
"In that case, how about arranging an opportunity for the children to meet and leave the choice to your daughter?"
Li Xiaogong twirled his beard and thought for a moment before suggesting.
Warrior Xun looked at Changsun Wuji searchingly.
"Okay, then we will arrange for them to go to Chang'an Marquis Mansion to meet -"
Changsun Wuji didn't hesitate and nodded simply.
Once you see it, you will see it. How can your own son be worse than his unlucky grandson?
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Li Xiaogong nodded naturally.
However, Samurai Yu suddenly opened his mouth.
Ah, this——
Not the eldest daughter!
But the little daughter who is just eleven years old after Chinese New Year this year!
Samurai Yun's whole body was feeling bad——
It's not that he's biased, it's that he really didn't expect it.
That stubborn girl actually gained the favor of both the Hejian County Prince's Palace and the Duke of Qi's Palace at the same time. It's really, really——
When he thought of the scene where the girl followed Wang Zi'an and left the house decisively, he couldn't help but have a headache.
Fortunately, both families came at the same time. Otherwise, given the girl's temperament, she might not have been able to make the decision. By then, if something happens again, it will really become a big joke.
It’s better to let her choose!
Thinking of this, the smile on his face stiffened unconsciously.
"So, very good -"
After chatting with the two for a few more words, Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji stood up to leave. The warrior Yu wanted to stay as a guest, but the two declined. He immediately sent him out of the house in person. He didn't return to the house until their carriage was far away.
As soon as they returned to the backyard, they saw Mr. Yang coming up with a happy face.
"Husband, I heard that the prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi came to propose marriage——"
"Um--"
Samurai Yu nodded briefly and sat down with a frown.
Seeing that Warrior Xun seemed a little uninterested, Yang couldn't help but gradually fade away from the happy look on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but speak cautiously.
"The young master from the Prince's Palace of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi's Palace is a perfect match for Shun'er. My husband is..."
The warrior sighed.
"It's that girl Xu'er - I don't know what the two families saw in her, but they actually came to propose to her together..."
"Xu'er?"
Yang couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise.
It's not that she thinks her daughter is not worthy of her, but she is a little surprised.
Logically speaking, it should be Shun'er, Shun'er is of about the same age.
Samurai Tong nodded silently, but he couldn't help but think more.
Both Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong and Qi Duke Sun Wuji are His Majesty's loyal confidants. At this time, these two families suddenly came to propose marriage in person——
Could it be that His Majesty has some considerations?
Just when he was struggling in his mind and couldn't figure out what it meant, the warriors sent by Li Shimin arrived.
As soon as he heard that Li Shimin had summoned him, he quickly put all these troubled thoughts behind him. After changing his clothes, he followed the warriors who came to deliver the order and left the house slowly and hurriedly.
"Dare I ask Lux, what are we—"
Seeing the warriors who came to deliver the order walking further and further in, the warrior Yu couldn't help but stopped in confusion.
It's not the imperial study room, it's not the Liangyi Palace. This direction is clearly the direction of His Majesty's bedroom.
"Don't be confused, Duke Ying. Let's go quickly. Your Majesty and the Queen are still waiting -"
Ah, and the Queen!
Samurai Tong was suddenly confused.
He originally thought that His Majesty was going to ask about his government affairs in Lizhou, but he didn't expect that the Queen was also there, and he was immediately confused. But I didn't dare to be negligent in my heart. I followed the powerful man who delivered the order, keeping my eyes on my nose, my nose on my heart, and my eyes without squinting, all the way to the outside of the palace.
"The humble warrior Xun, pays homage to your majesty, pays homage to the queen——"
Warrior Xun bowed and saluted.
"Wu Aiqing, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat quickly——"
Li Shimin stood up with a happy face, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand to help the warrior Xun up.
He sat down with half his buttocks bent, and then he saw that Queen Changsun stood up and poured him a cup of tea herself.
"Tea at the invitation of the Duke - this is the scented tea just developed by that child Zian. See if it suits your taste..."
Warrior Xun was immediately flattered, stood up, and thanked him repeatedly.
At the same time, the awe of Wang Zi'an in his heart suddenly increased by an unknown amount.
Just by listening to the tone and title of the Empress, you can tell how favored the Marquis of Chang'an is by Your Majesty and the Empress.
After a few words of greeting, seeing that Li Shimin was only talking about family affairs and not getting into the main topic, Warrior Xun couldn't help but feel even more uneasy. In the end, he finally couldn't help but stand up and asked directly.
"I wonder why your Majesty summoned his ministers to come here this time?"
Li Shimin smiled and motioned for the warrior to sit down again, then looked at his queen, turned around and said.
"I came to you this time because I want to ask you for a marriage—"
When the warrior heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise.
Ah, this——
He glanced at Li Shimin subconsciously.
Well, he is in his thirties, handsome, slightly overweight, but still looks tough.
The point is, His Majesty is interested in it, and he can’t refuse it——
only--
He secretly glanced at Queen Changsun's face with some guilt.
Seeing Empress Changsun, not only was she not unhappy, but she was smiling all over her face. Her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at her. She immediately felt relieved and secretly admired her in her heart.
She is indeed a wise queen.
No one can match this kind of heart!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow deeply to the two of them.
"Thank you for your majesty and the queen's appreciation - my daughter can serve your majesty, that is also the blessing she gained from her previous life -"
How to choose, do you need to say?
Fortunately, at that time, I did not agree to those down-and-out children who came to ask for marriage and wanted to climb the ranks of my own family, or those collateral children of our nobles.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a missed opportunity?
No wonder Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong suddenly changed their attitudes and came to propose to each other——
It turns out that I have known for a long time that His Majesty has fallen in love with my daughter.
He was overjoyed, and the look on his face couldn't help but light up.
The eldest daughter was favored by His Majesty, and the younger daughter was proposed to marry by the Prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi. From then on, Chang'an City finally had its own foothold again.
The Wu family finally made it through!
"that's great--"
Seeing that the warrior Xun agreed without saying a word, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also in a good mood, so they subconsciously wanted to nod, but they couldn't do it anymore after they nodded halfway.
He looked at the serious-looking samurai Yu with a dumbfounded look.
"This - ahem, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this time I am proposing to your daughter-in-law for Prince Jin. I don't know what Wu Aiqing wants -"
Ah, this——
Knowing that he had made a big mistake, the warrior Yu couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.
It turned out to be for King Jin!
I don't know whether I should be sorry or grateful.
However, if you think about it carefully, if you can't be the emperor's father-in-law, you can still be an in-law. After all, she was also the majestic Princess Jin, so it was an unexpected surprise.
That girl is a lucky one after all.
Thinking of this, he was just about to agree, when he suddenly thought of Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji's personal visit to propose marriage this morning. His heart couldn't help but a sudden thought, and he couldn't help but ask again cautiously.
"I don't know, which of Wei Chen's daughters do your Majesty and your empress like?"
The current age of Prince Jin seems to be quite different from that of his own Shun'er. Could it be that His Majesty also has his eye on that damn girl Xu'er?
"Zetian - oh, it's that girl Xu'er. The Queen and I both like that girl very much -"
Samurai Yu:......
Who can tell me what is going on!
Why suddenly, that girl became so popular that even His Majesty and the Empress proposed to marry her in person.
He wanted to agree on the spot.
But when he thought of Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong, who had just gone to their house to propose marriage, a wry smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
"That child Xu'er can be appreciated by Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I am flattered. I shouldn't be pretentious and refuse, but -"
Having said this, the warrior Xun smiled bitterly and bowed deeply to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun again.
"It's just a coincidence. Before Wei Chen came, the Prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi also came to visit and wanted to marry me..."
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help but look at each other.
Ah, it’s too late to start?
"The two of them actually came to propose marriage in person today?"
Li Shimin didn't know how to complain. If he had known that he would come to the door in person today, playing gongs and drums in front of him, he didn't believe that those two old guys would dare to compete with him!
"Then - I wonder which company Wu Aiqing agreed to in the end?"
Li Shimin felt regretful and couldn't help but become curious, and couldn't help but ask.
"Both the Prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi are sincere, and the ministers are also in a dilemma. Therefore, we have made a pact with the Prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi to let the children meet and make their own decisions..."
As soon as Warrior Xun finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Empress Changsun with a smile on his face.
"So, it hasn't been decided yet?"
Li Shimin picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip.
"Then I will also join in the fun and ask Zhinu to follow him to meet him - I wonder what Wu Aiqing wants?"
Samurai Yu:......
What else could I do?
Can I say no?
"Wei Chen is happy to see the success——"
Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded very simply.
"Okay, it's settled!"
But he secretly made up his mind, and immediately went back to talk to that bitch Zi An. This time, he had to marry that girl into his family no matter what.
With that girl taking care of me, I no longer have to worry about the kid Zhinu not having any help in the future!
