Chapter 438: Bi'er has grown up

The Governor's Mansion was large, but the living area was very small, and most of it was an office area.

There was only a small courtyard with several rooms, a few servants, and some vegetables that he had grown.

The vegetables are grown in greenhouses, and the materials are bought from Taipingfang, which is still handled by Yu Yan himself, because they are all his own family, so he did not ask for the price on the market, but asked for a cost.

Originally, Yu Ren didn't plan to ask for money, but he couldn't resist Princess Gaomi.

The yard is small but welcoming.

A courtyard of this size is logically not up to the standard for the emperor and the emperor to live in.

But Li Yuan likes it very much, and Li Yuanji doesn't care about the size of the place.

In life, it is often easiest to see how a person's conduct is, and in this regard, both Li Yuan and Li Yuanji are quite satisfied.

And what Duan Lun did in Luozhou also proved that he was reliable.

Of course, Duan Lun had already proven himself before this, otherwise, how could Li Yuan choose him as a colt?

The family had a happy dinner, which is naturally the most popular hot pot in Datang at the moment.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, hot pot has long become the favorite food of Datang people.

However, because of its high price, it is still difficult for ordinary people to enjoy, and the practice of hot pot is relatively troublesome.

Not to mention the price of that pot of bases, just a variety of side dishes are enough to make those ordinary people retreat.

But for the aristocracy, although the price is still expensive, it is not unacceptable, and in the face of deliciousness, how many people can resist this temptation?

Since it is a family gathering, it is natural that there will be some criticism.

And poor Duan Yan undoubtedly became the core of criticism again, and even Duan Lun was counted a few words by Li Yuan, and the frightened Duan Lun nodded yes again and again, and promised not to make the same mistake again.

"Jian Bi is also sixteen this year, right?" After the meal, when Duan Jianbi was mentioned, Li Yuan finally had some smiles on his face.

In these years, daughters are not valuable, but in some aristocratic families, women are still very pleasing in the eyes of their elders.

Although the idea of men and women still existing, it is not as obvious as that of ordinary families.

"Father, Jian Bi is seventeen years old." The fourth sister responded with a smile, but she was not very happy in her heart, of course, anyone whose family had just been disciplined, it was impossible to be happy immediately at this time.

"Seventeen, not too young, do you have a mother-in-law?" Li Yuan sighed, seventeen, if there was no Xuanwu Sect, his great-grandson would have run away by now, right?

Four generations are in the same house, and I don't know if there will be a chance in this life......

"Father, I haven't received a proposal yet!"

"Yuanji, what kind of in-laws do you think you should find for Jian Bi?" Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji.

Originally, I wanted to set this matter directly, but the matter of getting married is not disorderly, and since I have left the center of power, it is not very reasonable to do this kind of thing again.

Duan Jianbi didn't receive a proposal, not because of the ugliness of the person, in fact, born in such a family, even if the person is really ugly, the people who come to propose are still in line.

The reason why no one dared to come was because the status of the Duan family was too high, and ordinary people didn't dare to snoop at all, let alone form a family of children and daughters.

Those who have this qualification must at least be at the level of the governor, or a member of the imperial cabinet, and at the very least, they must be at the level of the six ministers, and if the others are particularly optimistic, they basically don't have to think about it, it is impossible.

"Does Jian Bi have a favorite Langjun?" Although he is an emperor, Li Yuanji's heart is actually not much different from that of later generations, and he is still more or less inclined to free love when it comes to getting married.

But in this era, free love is simply impossible, and without that condition, it will never be allowed.

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this is not an empty word.

Especially these royal relatives, it is better to say that those who are a little farther away from each other, Xiang Duan Jianbi, who is relatively close, her family affairs, even including Duan Yan's family affairs, the fourth sister and Duan Lun may not have the right to decide.

The royal family is like this, you enjoy the treatment that others can't enjoy, and you get things that others can't get in their lifetime, so you have to pay more.

Of course, on the issue of marriage, whether it is the royal family or ordinary people, in fact, they are all the same, and the people who want to marry may not be known to them, and even the daughters of ordinary families do not know who their future husbands are on the day of marriage, this kind of thing is not uncommon or strange.

"Uncle, how can Bi'er have a favorite Langjun......" Speaking of his marriage, Duan Jianbi's face was flushed, and he was ashamed and hated to bury his head under the table.

"If you have a favorite candidate, tell me that no matter what the other party's identity is or what his family is, as long as his character is okay and he can treat you sincerely, even if he is just an ordinary person, I will support you." Li Yuanji said with a smile, seeing that Li Yuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied with these remarks, and hurriedly continued to explain: "Although the royal family needs marriage to stabilize itself, it is not to sacrifice the happiness of every child, I should not bind the stability of the country to you, so I don't want to judge your future with a word." ”

Li Yuanji's words are indeed a bit unbelievable in this era, royal family marriages, big family marriages, that are all very normal things.

Only when the strong are combined, the result will be stronger.

Think about what the five surnames and seven wangniu looked like at the beginning? In order to ensure that his own bloodline is noble enough, the marriage object of the concubine can only be the children of the other five surnames and seven hopes, and it is impossible for the concubine to marry or marry a concubine, don't even think about it.

Even in the early years, it was not easy for the emperor to marry a woman with five surnames and seven wangs, unless the emperor himself was a person with five surnames and seven wangs.

"I give you a year, if within a year, you can find a wishful husband, I will marry you to him, if not, this time next year, I am arranging a family affair for you." I want to change, but I can't completely change it all at once, Li Yuanji also knows the difficulty of this, so he only gave Duan Jianbi a year.

Of course, there is another reason, the virtual age is only seventeen years old, and getting married at this age, in Li Yuanji's heart, it is indeed a bit early, and even the body has not fully developed to become a biological child, which may be another reason for the short life span of the ancients.

Although seventeen years old is already considered an older unmarried young man in this era, there are a lot of people who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and many people even have children at this age who can play soy sauce.

And this incident also gave Li Yuanji an idea in his heart, is it to push back the age of marriage?

But again, this is ancient times, and the average life expectancy is generally not high, and it is difficult to do this.

If it is forcibly postponed, I am afraid that a large number of people will not even be able to hold their grandchildren, and they will not even be able to see their youngest son getting married.

Li Yuan pursed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Li Yuanji is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what he wants to do, Li Yuan is not easy to change, although seventeen years old is not young, but for Duan Jianbi, a good in-law is not difficult to find, the important thing is whether this in-law can bring some help to the royal family.

This help doesn't need to be too big, it just adds up.

This was the end of the family banquet, and the little guy Duan Yan seemed to have finally escaped hell, and after Li Yuan left, the whole person became active again.

It's just that under the eyes of Princess Gaomi, she instantly became a good baby.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will follow your uncle and let your uncle cure those stinky diseases on your body!" The fourth sister reprimanded Duan Yan, for this son, she also had a headache, she beat and scolded, but she was very skinny, and there was nothing she could do.

"Good! All right! As soon as he heard that he was going to follow Li Yuanji, Duan Yan's whole head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he nodded happily, unconcealing his joy.

Li Yuanji smiled slightly in his heart, it seems that the little guy still has a sense of expectation......

I just hope that this sense of anticipation can be longer, and it won't be beaten back to its original shape before it ends tomorrow.

The crowd dispersed one after another, returning to his house, Li Yuanji was planning to wash and sleep, and he was in a hurry for several days, although he was not in a hurry, and the road conditions were not bad, but the whole person still felt a little tired.

"Your Majesty, the little princess asks to see you!"

"Oh? It seems that this niece of mine still has some whispers to tell me......" Li Yuanji laughed and motioned for Song Zhong to invite her in.

Li Yuanji was looking forward to it, and he also wanted to know what Duan Jianbi had to whisper to him?

Soon, Duan Jianbi's slender figure appeared in the house, his face was still a little ruddy, his head couldn't get into the ground, and he was shy and made people feel a little coke.

"Uncle, about Bi'er's marriage, ......" Duan Jianbi kept his head down, and didn't dare to look at Li Yuanji more, but as he spoke, he lost his voice, as if he was shy and embarrassed to say it.

"It seems that Bi'er still has a sweetheart, say it and let me listen to it, and see which kid has this blessing!" In this regard, Li Yuanji was not surprised, who is a girl who does not have spring? I'm running for three, won't I be careful when I see a beautiful woman?

"No......" Hearing Li Yuanji's words, Duan Jianbi's head lowered even deeper, and he quickly shook his head and denied: "Bi'er wants to say that uncle can directly arrange marriage for Bi'er, in fact, very early, my mother told Bi'er that in a family like ours, the marriage of children is not up to herself, although my uncle is the emperor, but if Bi'er can share some sorrows for her uncle, this life will be enough, so Bi'er doesn't need a year's time......"

"Bi'er has grown up and is sensible, but how can I easily take back what I said? I will arrange the marriage for you, but the premise is that you don't have a favorite Langjun within this year, I don't want you to be unhappy and unhappy in the second half of your life, you must know that even if there is no marriage between you, I can manage this country very well, so I don't need to sacrifice your happiness......"
