It is true that Emperor Chu does not like the children of the clan to be squishy and enthusiastic about having fun, but for the children of the clan who are self-motivated, Emperor Chu has always been willing to support and give them opportunities.

The Xianwang Mansion has been able to stand in the imperial capital for many years, not only because Emperor Chu values the uncle of Xianwang, but also because King Xian himself is not involved in the court situation, but when Emperor Chu's position was still unstable after he ascended the throne, he took the initiative to stand behind Emperor Chu.

Later, the sons under the knees of King Xian grew up, and for King Xian's sake, Emperor Chu gave them a chance within the right range. Fortunately, King Xian himself did not receive a serious court position, and he did put a lot of effort into educating his children.

The sons of King Xian, whether they were concubines or concubines, did not live up to the opportunity given to them by Emperor Chu in the end.

However, the sons of King Xian are still taking the route of Yin Feng, and most of the brothers of the next generation Xiao Yayun are also taking this route. Xiao Yayun has the talent of reading, and in order to cultivate him, the prince and his wife are also willing to send their beloved young son out of the imperial capital to study hard.

This time, Xiao Yayun came back to the imperial capital to participate in this year's scientific examination when he was old, and King Xian specially found a few contemporary Confucians to carefully read Xiao Yayun's articles in order to test Xiao Yayun's knowledge, and several Confucians praised Xiao Yayun's articles.

Xiao Yayun, as the son and sister-in-law of King Xian, was able to go through the imperial examination without relying on the shadow of the clan, and King Xian didn't know how happy he was.

Xiao Yuyun is now considered to be at the age of marriage, and the brothers above him have already started a family. Now his marriage is a major event in the Xianwang Mansion, and the father and son of the Xianwang and the son of the Xianwang have entrusted the matter to the Xian princess and the Xianwang princess to go - - hold. Princess Xian has come to see many young ladies from the family in the past few months, and finally fell in love with Sister Chu. The princess of King Xian was born in a high family, and it is true that she likes the lively Sister Chu on weekdays, but it is not false that she minds that Sister Chu'er's biological mother is just a concubine.

However, after some attention from Princess Xian, Princess Xian immediately realized the many benefits of marrying Sister Chu, not to mention Princess Xian's hint that Xiao Yayun was pleased with Sister Chu.

After the princess of King Xian figured it out, she told the prince of King Xian about it.

The prince of Xianwang agreed to this matter in one bite, Sister Chu'er's mother-in-law is his own sister-in-law, Sister Chu has been well-behaved and cute since she was a child, and the prince of Xianwang also really loves her.

Not to mention that Sister Chu's father and brother are now having a smooth career, and her brother is still Princess Zhaoyue's concubine.

Although Sister Chu'er's temperament is not suitable to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, it is enough to be the wife of a young son.

Seeing that her husband agreed to this matter, the princess of King Xian prepared a heavy gift, and came to the Zhenguo Mansion very solemnly, found the county lord of Duansu and told her about this matter, and also gave the golden hairpin that she was married to Sister Chu.

Sister Chu was still ignorant, and after the county lord of Duansu nodded, she obediently accepted the golden hairpin given to her by the princess of King Xian.

The princess of King Xian is a clever person, although Xiao Yayun is expected to be able to win the first place in the imperial examination this time, but after all, Xiao Yayun is still only a white body. Princess Xian took the initiative to propose that if Duan Chengwen and Lord Duansu agreed to this marriage, Princess Xian would immediately send someone to send Xiaoding, and wait until Xiao Yayun was promoted to officially order the marriage between Xiao Chengyun and Sister Chu.

It's just that Duan Chengwen was not at home at that time, and the county lord of Duansu didn't really agree.

So it happened that today I was going to call Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan back to discuss the matter of the prince of Zhenguo, so I also told them about Sister Chu'er by the way.

"In this way, my mother will also start preparing a dowry for Sister Chu." Xiao Xuan carefully looked at the expressions of Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord, and knew that they were in favor of this marriage. "Don't hide it from my mother, I also prepared some jewelry and cloth for Sister Chu to add makeup, and I will send someone to send it over when the time comes."

Xiao Xuan and Sister Chu have always gotten along very well, and when Lord Duansu saw her like this, he couldn't hide his joy and said to her.

"Since Sister Chu was five years old, I began to look for good things for her, thinking of keeping them for her as a dowry. Now that things are almost saved, there is more of a princess, and Sister Chu will have more face when she marries in the future. But when I have drawn up the dowry list, the princess will have to come and take care of me. ”

"Where does my mother's courage need me to palm, but I can see and learn, maybe in the future, Shaolan and I will have a daughter, I have learned something from my mother, and I won't panic when I marry my daughter in the future."

Xiao Xuan can speak, which makes the county lord of Duansu so happy that he can't close his mouth.

After the matters in this house were discussed, the county lord of Duansu ordered someone to bring Sister Chu, Brother Bin, and Brother Min over. Duan Chengwen is busy on weekdays, and when he sees that Brother Min is young, today is just in time for him to take a break, and it is rare to be able to have a good rarity and rarity Brother Min.

Brother Min, who was brought back again, was no longer a cowardly and unhappy look, he had a lot of fun with Sister Chu and Brother Bin, and he was still smiling on his little face when he was hugged by Duan Chengwen.

Seeing Duan Chengwen, who looked a little unfamiliar, he was not afraid of life at all, and raised his hand to grab a piece of beautiful jade hanging from Duan Chengwen's waist. Duan Chengwen saw that Brother Min liked it, so he directly raised his hand and gave it to Brother Min.

Brother Min didn't know the value of this piece of jade, but Duan Shaolan did.

This piece of beautiful jade was when Duan Chengwen married the county lord of Duansu, and the prince of Zhenguo gave Duan Chengwen the jade pendant he had worn for many years, and this jade pendant was passed down from generation to generation in the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Father, Brother Min'er is too young, you gave him this jade, and it will be broken by him in two days." Duan Shaolan stepped forward to take the piece of jade from Brother Min'er's hand, Brother Min was rare and had just arrived, and when he saw Duan Shaolan rushing behind him, he hurriedly hid the jade in his arms, and turned around and drilled into Duan Chengwen's arms to avoid Duan Shaolan's hand. "This piece of jade is recognized by the son, it was given to his father by his grandfather, and his father might as well keep it and give it to Brother Bin'er in the future."

"What is a piece of jade, I rarely see Brother Min once, and I am willing to give it to him if he likes it." Duan Chengwen waved away Duan Shaolan's hand and said. "I won't give him less of the things I should give to Brother Bin, why do you want to worry about this?"

Duan Chengwen has always been a strict father in front of Duan Shaolan, but now in front of Brother Min, he has become a grandfather who protects his short, Duan Shaolan had no choice but to return to his original position and sit down.

Sister Chu was pulled to the side by Xiao Xuan to speak.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Min is much more fun now than before, when can I go to live in your house for a while?" Sister Chu was still thinking about playing, she took Xiao Xuan's hand and asked.

Because her house took in Yue Ying, Sister Chu wanted to come to the house to play recently, but Xiao Xuan found a reason to refuse Sister Chu several times.

"You're almost old enough to get married, but you can't just think about playing all day." Xiao Xuan changed the topic. "The last time I went to the Xianwang Mansion, I saw the embroidery screen you embroidered, and your embroidery looks much better than before. If you really want to read Brother Min'er, just embroider a purse for Brother Min. ”

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't embarrass me." Speaking of embroidery, Sister Chu'er's little face suddenly wrinkled as if she had eaten bitter melon, and she stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Xuan to complain. "Sister-in-law, look at my hand, in order to make a birthday gift for my grandmother, ten fingers have been pierced."

Xiao Xuan looked down and saw that Sister Chu'er's fingertips did have many wounds.

"This injury is a trivial matter, I have the best trauma medicine in my house, such an injury, most of them can heal in one day." Xiao Xuan said to her with a smile. "When I return home today, I'll send someone to bring you the medicine tomorrow, okay? Never delay you in embroidering a purse for Brother Min. ”

"My sister-in-law bullied me." Sister Chu simply hugged Xiao Xuan's arm and was coquettish. "Sister-in-law, since she had Brother Min, she doesn't hurt me anymore."

"Who said I don't hurt you anymore." Xiao Xuan was still holding her arm by Sister Chu. "I just heard from my mother, your marriage is about to be decided. Mother has prepared a dowry for you, and I have prepared a makeup for you, don't I hurt you? ”

"Who said my marriage was going to be decided?" Sister Chu listened to Xiao Xuan's words, so she let go of her hand with some embarrassment, and said shyly with a red face. "Mother hasn't promised my aunt yet."

"Yes, but my father and mother are very optimistic about this marriage." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "Your brother and I came back with Brother Min today, also for this matter. Your brother and I both think that this marriage is very suitable for you, Cousin Yu is young and handsome, and he is a promising person, and his uncle and aunt also like you, and you have married very well. Besides, you even accepted the golden hairpin for your aunt's dowry. ”

"That.... My mother agreed to accept the golden hairpin. "Sister Chu'er even had red ears, and she had to defend herself." As my mother said, accepting the golden hairpin is not a marriage permit. ”

"Okay, sister-in-law won't tease you." Xiao Xuan asked. "Sister Chu, no matter how good we look at this marriage, it still depends on your thoughts. If you like it, your sister-in-law can buy you another dowry, if you really don't like it and don't want to marry, this sister-in-law can help you out. ”

"Hmm." Sister Chu looked away and said in a voice like a mosquito. "I do."

"Hahaha, it's good if you want to." Xiao Xuan heard Sister Chu'er's answer clearly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud by her awkward appearance. "Don't worry, when the time comes, I can still enter the palace and ask my mother for a dowry for you, so as to add face to you."

Two days later, the Duke of Zhenguo, who had gone out to visit friends, arrived in the imperial capital.

On the same day, the condition of the prince of Zhenguo, who had been bedridden for a long time, deteriorated again, and Dr. Shi, who rushed to hear the news, only shook his head after checking his pulse.

"It seems that I have to bother the second brother and the county lord." She was also the lady of the prince of Zhenguo with a sick face, and looked at Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord tiredly and said.
