As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he smiled happily, wondering in his mind which of the girls in the court now had grown up, were waiting in the boudoir, and had reached the age of marriage.
Sun Gou'er, who was standing by, had a smile on his face. Seeing the embarrassment on Zhu Yunxi's face, he said with a smile: "The emperor's grandson is now fourteen, and it's time to settle down the marriage."
As he said that, Sun Gou'er looked at the emperor who was still pondering, and said softly: "When the decision is made to turn around, you will have two more years to grow up, and you will be able to add some smart and handsome great-grandchildren to your majesty."
Inheritance is the most important thing for people at this time.
I heard Sun Gouer mention this.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Zhu Yunxi with wide eyes: "Sheng!"
After shouting loudly, Zhu Yuanzhang said rather indignantly: "You have been useless all these years, and I can't even bear more than two hands. You have to give me a baby of seventeen while we can still hold it." It would be great if our eight great-grandchildren would be in this palace, running all over the place under our noses."
These days, in the folk fields, whichever family has more children and brothers can occupy a favorable position in the local area.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang is now rich in the nine states of the Central Plains and the Weijia Sea, his deepest thoughts are still to have more children, more grandchildren, and more wealth.
Zhu Yunxi was speechless for a moment.
Thinking back to the more than 20 uncles and more than a dozen aunts above me, there will soon be another twenty-sixth uncle.
He felt that the old man was definitely not talking nonsense when he said he wanted to give birth to seventeen or eight great-grandchildren.
Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Master, my grandson is still young, and marriage is still early..."
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and slapped Zhu Yunxi lightly on the back of the head.
He glared and said, "Then you still go to the Jiaofang Department!"
Zhu Yunxi whispered nervously: "My grandson is with you..."
"Um?"
There was a sound in Zhu Yuanzhang's throat, and Zhu Yunxi quickly closed his mouth.
Under the other party's scrutinizing gaze, he quickly turned around and raised his hand, pointing at Sun Cheng who was standing in the corner of Huangji Gate: "My grandson only had two glasses of wine, mainly to accompany Sun Cheng."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "You kid, don't ask Sun Cheng to support you. Fortunately, you didn't do anything. If you did anything today, we will make you look good!"
Zhu Yunxi shrank his head, thankful that he knew all about it early in the morning and knew where the old man's bottom line was.
He put on a smile and whispered softly: "My grandson knows what is going on and will never disappoint grandpa."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "It is indeed time for your marriage to be decided early."
At this time, Sun Gou'er on the side suddenly said: "There are several young ladies in the Chang family who are now older. They are about the same age as the emperor's grandson. In addition, the relationship between Your Majesty and the Chang family will be settled if it is settled. It’s kiss after kiss.”
The Chang family is Zhu Yunxi's uncle's family, the young lady of the Chang family, and over there are his cousins.
Sun Gou'er said it was a close relationship, and that was indeed the case.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at Sun Gou'er appreciatively: "You are a dog slave, but you do know how to scheme."
As he spoke, he turned his head and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder: "We have met several sisters from your uncle's family in the past, and they were indeed well raised by your uncle, but..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said no more.
But deep down in my heart, I have already broken off this marriage.
The daughter of the Chang family is a crown princess. It would be inappropriate for the granddaughter of the Chang family to get engaged to the grandson of the emperor. She might be suspected of being a powerful relative!
Zhu Yunxi understood clearly, and he understood everything at once. He immediately followed the old man's thoughts and said the words: "Several cousins are now well-educated and well-educated. It's just that the relationship between the two families is too close. After a while, if my grandson is bullied in the future, he will not be able to reason with him."
He was joking and led the matter to this reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "You kid! I'll let you know all our thoughts!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his good grandson in front of him, and it could be said that he was greatly comforted.
Smart, even more clever, knows how to speak.
The grandson Gou'er, however, never understood the meaning. He just felt that neither His Majesty nor the Emperor's grandson was satisfied with the matter of getting closer to the Chang family.
He couldn't help but frown, and after thinking about it for a moment, he added: "The Duke of Liang's family... It's not a big difference. However, there is a young lady in the Duke of Cao's family who has not yet left the cabinet. If she becomes good with the emperor's grandson, she will also marry her. Again. Otherwise, the young ladies from the Duke of Song and Duke Ying's families have reached the age of youth and are a good match for the emperor's grandson."
There is no girl in Lan Yu's family who is the right age and the same generation as Zhu Yunxi.
However, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's family did exist, and he was almost the same age as Zhu Yunxi. Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. It is appropriate to say that he was a close relative.
On the other hand, Song Guogong Feng Sheng and Ying Guogong Fu Youde have several young ladies in the granddaughter generation, so it would be most convenient to choose them.
Sun Gou'er muttered, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was thinking deeply, and Zhu Yunxi, whose thoughts had already flown out of the imperial city.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head for a while, somewhat undecided, and stood up and patted his butt.
Then he patted Zhu Yunxi on the head.
"We've eaten enough and rested enough. Let's go back and approve the memorial. I'll tell you what I did wrong when the time comes."
Zhu Yunxi quickly stood up, bowed and said, "My grandson will send grandpa over."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and pushed away Zhu Yunxi's hand that was stretched out to support him: "Go back, we have something to talk about with you and me."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi meaningfully, and then led Sun Gouer towards the Zhongji Hall in a leisurely manner.
Zhu Yunxi was amused. Is the old man determined to find a wife for himself today?
At this moment, he is probably going to go to the prince to discuss this matter.
…
Zhu Yuanzhang walked leisurely all the way, and as Zhu Yunxi expected, he thought about the girls of the right age in the families of the courtiers along the way.
When he returned to the Zhongji Hall, he held down Zhu Biao, who was still reviewing the memorial, and sat cross-legged opposite the prince.
Zhu Biao looked puzzled and had a questioning expression on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the prince faintly and said calmly: "Prince, this child Yunxi is indeed older now."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, a little panicked, and then echoed after coming back to his senses: "You are old now, and now you know how to bring something back from outside to honor your father."
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless and looked at the prince a few more times, and said with some annoyance: "We are saying that you should find a girl from a decent and kind family to settle your son's marriage!"
Surprise suddenly appeared on the prince's face: "Ah? Are you saying that... is it too early?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "Why is it so early? Now that I'm older, if there is no one to control me around me or my pillow, I don't know when I will calm down."
Zhu Biao pondered, carefully considering the meaning of the old man's words.
After a while, he nodded and said: "What my father said makes sense. If we just decide on the marriage in advance, when he is older, we can arrange the marriage directly, which will also help him settle down earlier."
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "Sun Gou'er said before that the little girls of the Chang family have grown up now. If they get married to Yunxi, they will get married, but I refused."
In front of the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang never spoke in roundabout ways.
Zhu Biao knew what the final result would be when he heard the word Chang family.
He didn't say much and said, "Then the Duke of Liang's family is naturally inappropriate. In this way, the court will be Duke of Song, Duke of Cao, Duke of Ying, etc. If...it is the residence of many commanders of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. , there are also some girls of the right age.”
