An Zi often came back from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Menzi say that Du Hengshuang, the wife of Qin State, and Young Master Xiao rushed from Fan Yang to personally propose marriage, and happily threw Hai Dongqing, who had his arm on the shelf, into the arms of the eagle slave behind him, and was about to run to the inner courtyard, but as soon as he arrived at the second gate, there were 100,000 servants in the palace who hurriedly chased after him from behind, and shouted: "An Guogong!" An Guogong! Please stay! ”

Anzi Chang stopped impatiently, turned to look at the chamberlain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The chamberlain nodded and said hello, and then said, "Duke An Guo, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace immediately, saying that you have something important to discuss." ”

"Something important?" An Zichang touched his chin, "I haven't heard anything important lately?" ”

“…… An Guogong, the little one who doesn't hide it from the adult, is actually the envoy of Fan Yangjie, that is, Xiao Shiji, the Duke of Zhuguo, who has just entered the palace to face the saint. Not long after he entered, His Majesty sent a message to the little one to invite your old man into the palace. ”

"What old man? I'm not old! An Zichang glared at the waiter, but when he heard that it was Xiao Shihe who actually came from Fanyang, thinking of Du Hengshuang and Brother Heping, who had just entered his house, An Zichang vaguely felt as if something was about to happen.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're not old, you're not old at all, you're not old! The chamberlain laughed and joked, eager to reach out and drag An Zichang away.

An Zichang snorted reluctantly, and instructed his subordinates: "Go to the inner courtyard to greet Mrs. Qin Guo on my behalf, and say to Mrs. Qin, and say that I was urgently summoned by His Majesty to enter the palace." Tell them not to wait for me to eat. If there is anything, Madame can be in charge of everything. ”

The mother-in-law on the second door answered. Busy going to Zhu Susu's upper room to return.

Zhu Susu was still immersed in the unexplained apprehension.

Well, happiness came too suddenly, and she wasn't ready yet!

Has her sister Zheng finally been able to see the moon?

Thinking of this dead-eyed child, Zhu Susu couldn't help but bow a tear of sympathy for her.

Even though she was her daughter, she couldn't speak with her conscience.

If it was a man pestering her like this, she would definitely turn her face.

So for Brother Ping agreeing to change his mind and agreeing to propose marriage together, Zhu Susu always wondered if Du Hengshuang had taken a fancy to Sister Zheng, and scolded Brother Ping to propose marriage......

For the combat effectiveness of this best friend, Zhu Susu can empathize.

And she knew that Du Hengshuang was close to her. The two are friends of life and death. Her daughter, Du Hengshuang, hurts like her own daughter. Maybe you can do this kind of "relatives are painful, friends are happy" superlative thing?

"Brother Ping, tell me about it. How you never pay attention. Suddenly changed to being able to come to the door in person? "The shift is too big. Accept that you can't kiss!

Brother Ping'er's face turned red, and a faint flush appeared on his jade-colored cheeks.

The maid who was crowded in front of the moon cave door and watched, gasped, her eyes bubbled. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to go up together and force my wife to agree quickly, and I also forced people to say something about "mental journey", which was really funny......

Du Hengshuang looked at his son's rare embarrassed expression, a little unbearable, and hurriedly said: "Susu, how can this kind of thing be explained?" You know my son, and he will never squeak if he is unreliable. We didn't force him, and if we did, we wouldn't let him drag on until he was twenty-two years old. Other men of his age have given birth to several children. ”

That's not bad.

Zhu Susu looked at Brother Ping thoughtfully, and unconsciously tapped lightly on the small coffee table with his hand.

The room was silent, and the breathing of everyone was clearly audible with bated breath.

Just when Zhu Susu didn't know how to respond, the voice of the mother-in-law who came up from the second gate broke the peace.

"Madam, Grandpa Guo said that His Majesty summoned him, and he went into the palace to face the saint, so that Madame should not wait for Grandpa Guo to have dinner."

Zhu Susu came back to his senses, said a faint "um", and instructed the people who were waiting outside: "Go down, prepare wine and food, and entertain Mrs. Qin and Prince Xiao well in the evening." ”

The maid outside answered, and left the upper room in twos and threes.

When the people outside were gone, Zhu Susu sighed and said: "My daughter is simple and sincere, Brother Ping, you can't bully her because she is honest." ”

Brother Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "Aunt Zhu, don't worry. If I am not really willing, why should I come to propose to my aunts in person? ”

Xiao and An's families are good families, even if they don't marry, their relationship is unshakable. So it doesn't mean that for the sake of the family, two young people must be sent to the pile.

In this case, Brother Ping is still willing to come to propose marriage in person, should he still be willing, right?

It wasn't until dinner in the evening that Brother Ping was happy, and after eating a few glasses of wine, he talked more.

"Aunts, I won't hide it from you. I began to have a good impression of Sister Zheng when she was wholeheartedly kind to me. I'm not stupid, a girl is so desperate to be good to me, for my sake, how can I have no thoughts in my heart? It's just that at that time, Sister Zheng was too young, and I was indeed still a little uncertain. And I've always treated her like a sister, and I haven't turned around emotionally. Brother Ping said honestly. It wasn't until they reunited after they separated that he suddenly realized that this woman had stubbornly existed in his heart......

Zhu Susu pursed his lips. Although honesty is a good character, but you are a big man, and you keep saying that you like a woman because the woman likes him first, is this really good?!

Do you want to save some face for girls!

Zhu Susu said stupidly: "Actually, little girls have a time when their love is first opened. In fact, it's good after that while, it doesn't have to be that you don't get married. ”

Du Hengshuang heard what Zhu Susu meant, and hurriedly glanced at Brother Ping, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, everyone is from a little girl, and it is not strange that they all have this kind of thought." And getting married is a big deal, it's not enough to just like it, there are many other things to consider. - However, it is false to say that everything else is false, this is our sincerity. As he spoke, he put a stack of dowry lists in front of Zhu Susu.

Zhu Susu tugged at the corners of his mouth. took the bridal gift list and glanced at it twice, and a pair of eyes suddenly widened.

“…… Are you emptying your storeroom?! Zhu Susu smiled so much that his eyes were crooked.

Du Hengshuang smiled: "Isn't it empty?" Do you remember my treasury where I kept the dowry for Brother Ping—it's all here! ”

Zhu Susu remembered such a long time ago, and his heart was even softer. She put down the dowry list and said to Du Hengshuang: "You really want to marry, of course I won't refuse." - If I don't agree, don't say that the little ancestor of my family will come back and break off the mother-daughter relationship with me, even our grandfather will probably divorce me......"

Du Hengshuang and Brother Heping said together: "You are really good at laughing!" "Stop Zhu Susu from continuing to talk nonsense.

Zhu Susu also knew that he often went off the line and said things that he didn't know. He hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Okay, okay." On such a happy day, let's not talk about these seven and eight. - Brother Ping, I only have one request, since you agreed to marry my daughter. You have to treat her with sincerity and sincerity in your life. This kind of thing is to take concubines and concubines. Unless it's really my daughter who can't give birth to a son. Otherwise, don't talk about it! ”

Zhu Susu also knew that Brother Ping was the eldest son of the Xiao family, and his son was a must. And in the stricter family. Not only sons, but also eldest sons. If a wife can't give birth to a son, it's not as easy as taking a concubine, but she has to either divorce or merge to achieve the goal of having an eldest son.

There are three requirements for a woman to marry: husband, godson, and in-laws. Like "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", giving birth to children is the most important duty of a woman to marry a wife.

Although Zhu Susu is very unimpressed with this, but the world is like this, she is a little woman, and her arms can't twist her thighs.

Not to mention in this Great Qi Dynasty, even in her later life, I don't know how many families still prefer sons over daughters.

So in case her daughter is unlucky and can't give birth to a son, she still has to regress and let Brother Ping take a concubine to give birth to a son.

"Shuang'er, our relationship is no better than others, so I will also say ugly things in front. If my daughter can't give birth to a son, and Brother Ping can only take a concubine after she is forty, do you agree? - If you agree, I'll exchange Geng posts with you right away. Zhu Susu stared at Du Hengshuang and asked nervously.

There is a bit of "although they are good friends, but they should still be on business".

In fact, if you have no children, you can take a concubine, which is the age of the man.

Zhu Susu felt sorry for her daughter, so she changed it to a woman who couldn't give birth to a son at forty.

Brother Ping is six or seven years older than Sister Zheng, this request is actually a little unfair to Brother Ping.

Du Hengshuang was a little hesitant. The stakes are so high that she may not be able to be the master alone.

Unexpectedly, Brother Ping said generously: "No problem." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Aunt Zhu is a national player in Xinglin, I don't believe that my aunt has not adjusted Sister Zheng's body since she was a child." ”

As long as you are in good health, it is only a matter of time before you have a boy or a girl.

How could Zhu Susu not have conditioned Sister Zheng's body since she was a child? Her own daughter knows that when she says this, firstly, it is to test Brother Ping'er, as well as the sincerity of the Xiao family and his wife, and secondly, it is caused by the chaos caused by her mother's concern.

Hearing Brother Ping say this, Du Hengshuang and Zhu Susu looked at each other and smiled.

"You should believe it now, right?" Du Hengshuang said with a smile, "Actually, you're too worried." How life is going depends on how the two of them live. We've said a lot here, but who knows what will happen to you in the future? - In short, in the beginning, it is necessary to be sincere. ”

Zhu Susu nodded, "That's right." I'm thinking too much. As he spoke, he got up and left the dining room. When she came back, she had already brought Sister Zheng'er's Gengti.

"In that case, let's put together the eight characters first, and let it go if there is no problem, how about it?" Zhu Susu is smooth and doesn't like to drag mud and water.

"That couldn't be better. Shi Ji also said that it is best to get married at the end of the year, but I am worried that your husband and wife will feel sorry for their daughter and are reluctant to marry so soon. Du Hengshuang half-spit out and half-revealed that he wanted to finalize the wedding date.

Zhu Susu glanced at Du Hengshuang in amazement, "Isn't it?" If you are married, why do you have to give us a year to prepare? - You see, there are so many things to prepare, the dowry ......"

"Don't mention the dowry to me, since Sister Zheng was born, you started to save her dowry, right? Don't use this as a pretense. Du Hengshuang covered his sleeves and smiled.

Friends who know too well are not good at this, and if you want to tell a lie, the other party will expose it.

Zhu Susu smiled and said, "I can't admit this. In short, it's still their man's family to set the day. We're talking about the minutiae. ”

In the event of marriage, it is actually the man who is in charge.

Women can only work on the details at most, for example, how many guests are invited, what the wedding room looks like, whether to embroider mandarin ducks on the hijab, or embroider a hundred years of good ......

When they were discussing here, the imperial study in the palace was also in full swing.

Those present here are all the henchmen of Emperor Yonghui.

After listening to Xiao Shiji, the Duke of Zhuguo, almost everyone applauded unanimously, only An Zichang was a little reluctant, and said with a smile: "I said that I wanted to fight Goguryeo, but you came to be a Turk." - Always have to rob me! ”

Xiao Shiji said with a smile: "Fight the Turks first, and then Goguryeo, isn't it?" Persimmon must always be pinched from the soft first. ”

The people in the imperial study suddenly burst into laughter.

The Turks of those years were a thousand-year-old nightmare for the common people in this land.

In those years, everyone seemed to have no other way to think except to bow down to the Turks and pay tribute year after year.

I couldn't beat it, I couldn't escape and I couldn't escape, so I had to let it be slaughtered.

"I can't imagine that I, Lu Dalang, will be able to see the day of fighting the Turks in my lifetime! - Zhu Guogong, I'm signing up now, and I'm going to be your pioneer officer! Lu Dalang said first.

Goguryeo is indeed a more difficult bone to gnaw, especially compared to the Turks who are now in the second place, it is better to fight the Turks first and boost their morale.

The previous dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered Goguryeo twice, but did not defeat Goguryeo in the last year, but broke himself up.

The lessons of the previous car are not far away.

For the Turks, they have the "God of War" Xiao Shiji, who is the Turkic nemesis!

He should take advantage of the opportunity to take the Turks in his lifetime.

The ministers seconded the proposal one after another and made suggestions to Emperor Yonghui.

Emperor Yonghui sat on the top, his face haggard, as if he was seriously ill. But when he heard these heroic words, his face also flushed.

"Originally, the Turkic royal court was far away, and Goguryeo was even closer. I have been preparing for four or five years, and it was originally for Goguryeo. However, since Xiao Aiqing said that he was more sure to take down the Turks, he would first practice from the Turks. Take the Turks and immediately point your sword at Goguryeo! - What do you think?! ”

"Do the Holy Commandment!" All the ministers gave up their hands together.

The matter of fighting the Turks was thus decided.

Of course, this is only at the top level. There are so many things that need to be done to really fight.

However, on this night, they basically agreed that the preparations for fighting the Turks should be carried out in secret, and under the guise of fighting Goguryeo, until the army was dispatched after the most Lu and went deep into the desert, and then the truth would be announced, so that the other party could be caught off guard and use the right time, place and people to the extreme.

So in the process of preparing the marriage of Brother Ping and Sister Zheng of the Xiao and An families, the preparations for the Turkic war also began quietly.

At the end of the seventeenth year of Yonghui, the Zhuguo Mansion was lit up with lights, and the voices were boiling. Xiao Yiping, the eldest son of the Xiao family, raised a dowry of one hundred and eighty to marry An Zhenghe, the eldest daughter of An Guo's grandson.
