Chapter 1392: Marriage Proposal
In the early morning, the Zhongwang Mansion.
Li Yuntian hugged Zhou Yuting in bed and couldn't sleep for a long time, Lu Calyx left crying, as a mother, she was really reluctant to let Li Anming go so far away.
"Xianggong, otherwise let Yu'er go, Yu'er is the sister-in-law of the family and should serve the palace." Zhou Yuting knew that Li Yuntian was worried about the green calyx, so she pressed her cheek to his chest and whispered, as the princess of the Zhongwang Mansion, she naturally had to take care of the overall situation.
"Yu'er is a son-in-law who wants to stay in the capital and can't go far to the Western Regions, Yuxin's son and the emperor are cousins with royal blood, and Xianggong can't let them leave the capital, An Guo and An Min's ambitions are in the Xiaowu Army and the Water Division, and Xianggong can only let An Ming go to the Western Regions."
Li Yuntian hugged Zhou Yuting tightly when he heard this, sighed and said helplessly, "If possible, Xianggong is willing to go to guard the Western Regions by himself, so that he won't be so embarrassed." ”
"Xianggong, the concubine knows that you won't let An Ming build a palace there for no reason, why do you do this?" Zhou Yuting asked softly while caressing Li Yuntian's sturdy chest with her hand, in her opinion, there was no need for Li Yuntian to let Li Anming take root there for the rest of his life.
"Xianggong will tell you the truth, don't look at that place is relatively barren and the land is barren, but there is huge wealth buried underground." Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and pretended to say to Zhou Yuting mysteriously.
"Great wealth?" Zhou Yuting's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, in her impression, there was nothing in the Western Regions that could be called wealth.
"There are a lot of black liquids buried under the fief given by the emperor to the prime minister, which can be burned like lamp oil, and these black liquids will become an important fuel in the future, and people from all walks of life cannot do without it."
Li Yuntian lowered his voice and explained to Zhou Yuting with a smile, "If our palace can have those black liquids, it will undoubtedly have a cornucopia. ”
"Xianggong, how do you know these things?" Zhou Yuting was very surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but look up and ask Li Yuntian, she didn't doubt the truth of what Li Yuntian said, after all, she had seen too many incredible things that happened to Li Yuntian over the years, but she was a little incredulous about Li Yuntian's comparison of the Persian Gulf to a cornucopia.
"When Xianggong was at war with the Timurid Empire in the Western Regions, he heard the people of the Timurid Empire talk about those black liquids, so he realized that this was a huge business opportunity, as long as he seized it in the future, our Zhongwang Mansion would be invincible."
Li Yuntian naturally couldn't tell Zhou Yuting that oil was later called the lifeblood of industry, so he casually found a reason to go perfunctory, otherwise he was really reluctant to let Li Anming go all the way to guard the Persian Gulf.
Moreover, Li Yuntian believed that by the time the time oil was used for industry, the Chung Prince's Mansion would have controlled oil production in the Persian Gulf and would have enough capacity to hold it.
After all, with the development of society, the imperial power will become more and more restricted, and no one, including the emperor, can easily take the Persian Gulf away from the hands of the loyal prince's palace.
"Xianggong, these days, you accompany Sister Green Calyx more, Ming'er is going to such a far place, she feels uncomfortable." Zhou Yuting didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she closed her eyes when she heard this, put her cheek on Li Yuntian's chest and said with a smile, enjoying the rare opportunity to be alone with Li Yuntian.
"It's Xianggong who is sorry for her." A gloomy look appeared on Li Yuntian's face, he, as a father, usually didn't care much about things at home, so Li Anming was a natural mother and son with a green calyx, and now he wanted to separate the two.
"Xianggong is for everyone, and the concubine thinks that Sister Green Calyx will understand Xianggong's hard work." Zhou Yuting reached out and stroked Li Yuntian's cheek, smiled and comforted.
"Alas!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he knew Lu Calyx the earliest and naturally knew Lu Calyx's character, and knew that Lu Calyx would be considerate of himself, but he still felt guilty in his heart because of this matter.
Sure enough, the next morning, the green calyx with red and swollen eyes came to Li Yuntian, saying that she supported Li Yuntian's approach and asked Li Anming to sit in the Persian Gulf.
Li Yuntian didn't say anything after hearing this, just pulled the green calyx into his arms and gave her a warm hug, thanking her for the sacrifice she had made for the Zhongwang Mansion.
Since Li Yuntian asked Li Anyu to marry the daughter of a commoner, Lu Cao naturally agreed to Li Anming and Zhao Ning'er's family affair, and asked the matchmaker to come to Zhao Ning'er's grandfather to propose marriage.
Since Li Yuntian will leave for the Western Regions in the spring of next year, there is not much time left for Lu Cao to handle Li Anming's personal affairs, and Li Anming's marriage is on the agenda of Zhongwangfu, which has become the top priority of Zhongwangfu, after all, Li Anming is the one who wants to be crowned the king of the county by the orthodox emperor.
So, in the morning, the famous matchmaker Liugu Xingchong rushed into a courtyard house in the southern residential area of the city, followed by several servants with gift boxes, which attracted nearby neighbors to follow up and watch the excitement.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman in simple clothes and a young woman were doing needlework, and two children were chasing each other with each other.
"Congratulations, congratulations." After the sixth aunt entered the door, she smiled and arched her hand at the middle-aged woman, "Madam, your family has hit a big luck, and there has never been such a happy event in the past hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"This eldest sister, I don't know where the joy comes from?" Seeing that a large group of people poured into Hulala, and the sixth aunt was gorgeously dressed and did not look like an ordinary person, the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked suspiciously.
You must know that Liugu is the most famous matchmaker in the capital, and she specializes in telling the children of high-ranking officials and powerful people in the city that ordinary people like middle-aged women can't invite her at all, and she won't surrender her identity to come.
"Madam, your Miss Ning'er gave birth to a rich and noble life, and the old woman is here to say good news to Madame, and I hope Madame will take care of her in the future." However, today's situation is different, the matchmaker who has been protecting the sixth aunt for most of her life has never encountered such a bizarre thing, so she said to the middle-aged woman with a smile.
"What's wrong with Ning'er?" At this time, a young man who looked like a scribe rushed out of the house, and asked the sixth aunt urgently, knowing that Zhao Ning'er had been away from home for a few days and had not been heard from.
The neighbors in the courtyard who were watching the excitement couldn't help but whisper at this time, everyone knew that Zhao Ning'er ran away with the wild man after the marriage, which led to the southern family to quit the family, and its reputation had already stinked for half a street, who would dare to marry such a daughter-in-law?
"This eldest sister, I think you have come to the wrong place, our family Ning'er is a hard-working child, where is there any joy!" The middle-aged woman heard the discussions of the people in the courtyard, her eyes showed a sad look, and she said to the middle-aged woman calmly.
"Madam, of course the old woman can't be wrong!" The sixth aunt shook her head when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Miss Ning'er is now in the Zhongwang Mansion, and the princess of Zhongwang likes Miss Ning'er very much, so she asked the old woman to come and propose to the four little princes of the palace." ”
"Loyalty...... Zhongwangfu? Hearing this, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the sixth aunt with a shocked face, never expecting her to say such a thing.
Some noisy courtyards also quieted down in an instant, and people looked at each other, no matter what, they never imagined that Zhao Ning'er would have something to do with the famous Zhongwang Mansion, and it also alarmed the Zhongwang Princess.
"Madam, Miss Ning'er married this time, but she was the main room of the fourth little prince, and it is very likely that she will be the princess of the county in the future, and the old woman is here to say hello to Madame."
Seeing the middle-aged woman's unbelievable appearance, the sixth aunt smiled and arched her hand, and then said to the entourage behind her, "Quick, give the princess's gift." ”
The entourage immediately put down the gift box and opened it, which contained gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin, which dazzled the people in the courtyard, knowing that these are the best products on the market.
"These are just a little thoughts of the princess, if the lady and the lord have no objection to this family business, the dowry will be presented later." The sixth aunt smiled and said to the middle-aged woman, "It's not that the old woman is too talkative, madam, this kind of good thing can't be found with a lantern, you and the master must seize this opportunity." ”
"Quick...... Call your dad and grandpa! The middle-aged woman came back to her senses and knew that she was not dreaming, so she hurriedly shouted at the young man who came out of the house, this young man is Zhao Ning'er's eldest brother, and the young woman who did needlework with the middle-aged woman is Zhao Ning'er's sister-in-law.
Zhao Ning'er was taken by the princess of Zhongwangfu, and the news that she was ready to let her be Li Anming's main room spread all over the capital in an instant, causing a lot of waves in the market, no one would have thought that the dignified Zhongwangfu would marry a commoner's daughter as Li Anming's wife, you must know that Li Anming is going to become the king of the county after the wedding.
For a time, there are those who regret, those who envy, and those who are jealous, and all kinds of life are fully displayed.
In the face of this family affair of the Zhongwang Mansion, the Zhao family will naturally not object, although they are not the people who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but since the Zhongwang Mansion has asked the matchmaker to come to propose marriage according to the etiquette, they have no reason to refuse?
Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Zhao Ning'er can be said to have flown on the branches and become a phoenix this time, but this is Zhao Ning'er's creation, and the people of the Zhao family will not ruin Zhao Ning'er's happiness because of some criticism from the outside world, let alone make the Zhongwang Mansion lose face.
Therefore, Li Anming and Zhao Ning'er's family affairs were determined very smoothly, and an auspicious day in October was chosen for the two to get married, and Lu Cao hoped that Zhao Ning'er's first child would be born in the capital instead of the Western Regions, so Li Anming's task was very arduous, and Zhao Ning'er was pregnant before Li Yuntian left in the spring.
Zhao Ning'er suddenly became the idol in the hearts of thousands of ordinary girls in the capital, for them Zhao Ning'er's experience is simply a legend, full of fairy tales, you must know that she married into the Zhongwang Mansion, the Ming Dynasty ranked first and the legendary Zhong Wang Ye actually became her father-in-law, just thinking about it is enough to make people extremely excited.
