Zhang Chao didn't expect that Cheng Qian would suddenly propose marriage.

Ruohua is the second daughter of Zhang Jiashu, more than half a year younger than her sister Fanghua. In all aspects, he is as outstanding as his sister, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially this character is very good and atmospheric. In this regard, it was influenced by Zhang Chao's education, with the imprint of the Zhang family.

Li Ruohua was engaged to someone.

The object is Li Ji's second son Li Siwen, Li Siwen is two years older than Ruohua and is sixteen this year. Zhang Chao originally planned to wait for Ruohua to be sixteen years old before getting married. Unexpectedly, after Zhang Chao was condemned as a rebel, Li Ji took the initiative to cancel his son's marriage contract with Ruohua.

Therefore, Ruohua does not have a marriage contract now.

But Zhang Chao was a little hesitant about this.

Originally, the eldest daughter Xia Hua was promised to Cheng Qian when she was young, and after more than ten years, she finally married into the East Palace and was pregnant with a child. But who knows, but in the end he died tragically.

Now that the prince proposed to marry his sister-in-law Ruohua, Zhang Chao originally refused in his heart.

One of his precious daughters had died in the court, and he was reluctant to marry another. Besides, it's not the same now.

At the beginning, the emperor made the relationship between their monarchs and ministers closer through marriage. At the same time, Zhang Chao was also willing to see this marriage at that time to ensure the future of the Zhang family.

But now, Zhang Chao does not need to sue for this marriage to maintain the relationship with the prince.

But the prince seems to want to use this marriage to stabilize the relationship with Zhang Chao.

"Actually, you and I have been teachers and students for many years, so we don't need to be like this. No matter what, I will always support Your Highness. Zhang Chao said.

"Teacher, what happened to Xia Hua, I feel very guilty. Although I have not been married for a long time, I like Xia Hua very much. I like her talent, I like her free and easy, and I like her atmosphere. These are all valuable characters that many famous daughters do not have, and this kind of character is only available to the children of the teacher's family. ”

"Xia Hua is gone, and the woman I hope to marry again is the same as Xia Hua. I am also familiar with my sister Ruohua and know that she is as good as Xia Hua. Please also ask the teacher to be perfect! ”

Zhang Chao didn't agree immediately.

"Although it is said that the marriage of children is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, I still have to ask Ruohua what it means, and I also have to listen to the meaning of the red line."

Cheng Qian nodded, "I understand, Jinghou Jiayin." ”

Cheng Qian left, and he temporarily stayed in the Assassin's Mansion.

Zhang Chao called the red line and asked her opinion first.

"The prince asks to marry Ruohua?" When the red line heard it, she was surprised. Instead, it was excited and happy.

"San Lang, of course this is a good thing, if Hua can be favored by the prince, it will be a blessing that she has cultivated in several lifetimes. Why hesitate, of course I agreed. ”

The daughter will be the crown princess, or even the queen in the future, which seems to be a good thing without hesitation at all.

It's just that Zhang Chao didn't decide immediately.

He had set a family for Ruohua before, Li Ji's second son. At that time, the two children were young, and Ruohua would not have her own opinions. But now, the family business has repented, Ruohua is also fourteen years old, she is old and has her own ideas.

"Ask Erniang."

Ruohua was called, and she greeted the two of them.

Zhang Chao looked at this daughter, slim and elegant, a big girl.

Standing there, very beautiful and very temperamental. This year's escape has made her lose a little weight, but it's not bad. The daughter of the Zhang family also has to exercise regularly, and Zhang Chao even once taught yoga and tai chi to his wife Thirteen Niang and concubines Red Line and Cai Wei.

Exercising regularly, the wives and concubines and daughters of the Zhang family are also very healthy.

There is no fat powder on the face, but there is a healthy red rhyme.

There is also little kind of pampered squeamishness and domineering.

"Erniang, I called you over, is it to ask if you are okay?"

"Thank you daddy for your concern, my daughter is all right."

"Well, there is one more thing, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Runzhou, and he came to the mansion just now. You also know that your sister Xia Hua has lost her life and has gone west. It's a pity for this kid. ”

Hongxian couldn't help but say, "Your sister's matter is indeed sad, but now there is a happy event for you." ”

Ruohua raised his eyes, full of doubts.

Zhang Chao is no longer beating around the bush.

"Here's the thing, Your Highness proposed to our family today, saying that he wanted to marry you as the crown princess."

"This is your life's work, and I want to ask your opinion first."

Ruohua was surprised.

Then silence.

Zhang Chao didn't rush either.

He quietly waited for his daughter's reply, if his daughter said she was unwilling, then even if this marriage was very important to the Zhang family, Zhang Chao would finally refuse to the prince.

"Oh, you silly girl, what are you hesitating about this good thing that fell from the sky. After this village, there is no such shop. Red Line couldn't help but say to her daughter.

Zhang Chao glared at her, the red line is actually only thirty years old, although her status in the Zhang family is not low now, no one usually looks down on this aunt. But in the final analysis, she used to be a domestic slave of the Cui family, and her parents were brought out from home by Cui Shisanniang's mother, Zheng Niangzi.

Later, she became Cui Shisanniang's dowry and became a girl in the room. It can be regarded as a blessing from several generations of cultivation, and I met a good man like Zhang Chao.

gave the body of a free beloved, and later became a concubine and was promoted.

gave birth to two daughters and two sons, and her status in the family is also very transcendent, Thirteen Niang treats her like a sister, and Zhang Chao has never treated her lightly. But in my heart, I can't help but feel that I am from a low background and that I am a concubine, so my daughter can only be a concubine. The daughter of Thirteen Niang was born to the crown prince, and she will be the crown princess in the future. And her daughter, although she may have given it to the son of the prince, was the second son.

Now Li Ji regrets his marriage, but the prince comes to propose marriage, and the peak turns around.

Zheng Hongxian couldn't wait to make a decision for her daughter right away.

"Father, is the relationship with the Li family really invalid?" Ruohua asked.

"Oh, my stupid daughter, what are you doing with the Li family? That kind of person, tending to be inflammatory, is not a good match at all. In vain, your father used to have such a good relationship with their family, and he didn't help their family, and his Li Ji family followed us, how much money he earned, and he gave away more than 10 million family properties. As a result, as soon as something happened, he repented of his marriage as soon as possible, and became the marshal of the Southern Expedition, leading troops to attack your father, such a family is not worth it at all. ”

Zhang Chao said to his daughter, "Li Sixing's child is actually not bad, but now that the king of Dongjun has decided to repent of his relatives and returned the marriage certificate, then this family matter can be regarded as yellow." We went to the Zhang family, and we didn't have the reason to cling to his Dongjun Wang family. ”

Zhang Ruohua asked again.

"Does the father want his daughter to marry the crown prince?"

"This is your own lifelong event, and you are so old now that you can have your own thoughts, I won't take this idea for you, it's up to you to decide, and you don't have to worry about your mother's attitude."

"Can that make my daughter go back and think about it again?"

"Of course you can, this is a lifelong event, you don't have to worry."

······

Cheng Qian returned to the Assassin's Mansion and asked people to find Ma Zhou.

"The second phase, there is one thing that I want to entrust to the second phase."

"If Your Highness has any orders, just give them."

Cheng Qian said, "When I saw the teacher today, I proposed to the teacher in person and asked to marry Sister Ruohua. is a little abrupt, and Gu wants to let the second phase go to Zhangfu to officially propose. ”

"Wenyuan's second daughter?"

"Exactly."

Ma Zhou nodded, "Zhang Erniangchen can be regarded as growing up, this girl is indeed very good, and she is a good match for Her Royal Highness, but she is a concubine." Ma Zhou pointed out one point.

"I don't care if I'm lonely, what I like is her family background and character."

Ma Zhou knew in his heart that he not only took a fancy to Ruohua's character and talent, but also to Ruohua's family background. She is the daughter of Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao has a lot of daughters, but the age is right, and there is no marriage contract, it seems that there is only this Zhang Erniang. Zhang Erniang happened to break off the marriage contract with Li Ji's son, and she was about the same age, only half a year younger than Xia Hua Niang, and she was very imaginary with Xia Hua in all aspects.

For the crown prince, marrying Zhang Ruohua is indeed very good.

"This is a beautiful difference, and the minister is honored to be a matchmaker for the prince." Ma Zhou laughed.

Out of the prince's palace, Ma Zhou went straight to Zhang Chao's mansion.

Come straight to the point.

"This is a beautiful thing, Wenyuan, why should you hesitate?"

"To be honest, Lao Ma, I don't object to this marriage, but this time I listen to Ruohua's opinion. She is willing, and I naturally have no objection. If she doesn't want to, I don't want to be wronged and force her. ”

Ma Zhou sighed, "Erniang met your father, it's really a blessing from several lifetimes." Even I can't be as free and easy as you. When it comes to the marriage of children, how can they decide it? Your Zhang family, the atmosphere is different, maverick, and the whole Datang is unique. But to be honest, your family is really good, and the children you teach, both male and female, have a lot of energy, which I appreciate very much. Wenyuan, otherwise, let's get married. ”

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "I have more than forty sons and daughters, but Ruohua is the only one who has no marriage contract now." ”

Ma Zhou said, "You are only thirty-eight years old, and you can still regenerate." Don't you say that you Zhang Chao has mastered the secret of giving birth to a son, and it is not a problem to have another forty or fifty. When the next one is born, it will be decided for my Ma family first. ”

"Hahaha, I haven't passed on the secret of having a child to you, it's not so unusual, it's just a simple rule. If you really want to get married, that's fine. Well, when the next child of our two families happens to be a boy and a girl, then make a marriage contract. ”

"That's a deal."

"Wen Yuan, we are now considered in-laws, I said, it's right for you to let Ruohua decide for yourself. But you are a father, you can't let a fourteen-year-old child take such a big idea alone. You are a father, and you must give guidance. They don't have as much experience in life as us, if they make a wrong decision for a while, won't they regret it for life in the future, and even blame you, the father, for not fulfilling their duties? ”

Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Old Ma, you matchmaker is really positive. Don't worry, give Ruohua some time to think about it. ”
