Chapter 243: Promise
He doesn't want his daughter to live a good life, and to become a royal prince and nobleman as long as she lives happily, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
His sister's plaque still stands in the mourning hall, reminding him of his past tragedies.
"Mother, I'm messing with the second prince, can't you hear it?"
Chen Yi half-jokingly, and the second prince also nodded in agreement.
"Actually, this prince also has something to do with Yi'er, that is, the day after tomorrow in the palace competition horse riding and archery, I heard that Yi'er is skilled in horseback riding, so this prince wants to invite Yi'er to participate, okay?"
The second prince asked with a smile, looking at Chen Yi with his eyes.
When it comes to horseback archery Chen Yi's eyes lit up, as Chu Yong said, she likes to ride horses, but when she was twelve years old, her mother forbade her to do this, saying that she didn't look like a girl, and she lost compared to Xia Xiao's family.
So after the age of twelve, he changed to learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
To put it mildly, it is also ironic.
Seeing Chen Yi's happy appearance, Chu Yong felt that this matter should be done.
"Horseback riding? Okay! ”
Chen Yi didn't want to agree, she hadn't touched a horse in many years, and it was a good thing to be able to ride it at this time!
Liu Yuman couldn't stand it anymore, she spent so many years building Chen Yi into a lady, and finally didn't let her ride a horse, and now she got her wish again.
"Then the prince will pick you up the day after tomorrow?"
Seeing Chen Yi's happy appearance, he also opened his mouth and smiled.
"Okay, then Yi'er will just wait for the second prince, after the matter is over, if the second prince has nothing else to do, Yi'er will go to work first, and Yi'er will retire."
Chen Yi bowed slightly, and before Chu Yong finished speaking, the person had disappeared.
"Oops, hey, hey, Yi'er, Yi'er'......"
Chen Yi acted as if he hadn't heard it, until the back disappeared from Chu Yong's eyes.
Although he was a little discouraged, he believed that Chen Yi would definitely succumb to him in the future, and there was no woman he couldn't handle.
In his eyes, there was a ruthlessness.
"This is really rude, don't mind the second prince, come and sit."
Liu Yuman hurriedly greeted, and Chu Yong came back to his senses and nodded.
Chen Yi didn't want to have too much contact with Chu Yong, she didn't like Chu Yong, but she had to agree because of her mother's face, and she really couldn't accept letting her say a few more words to Chu Yong.
Let her feel like a girl in a green house, and greet guests with a smile as soon as they come.
The big red sedan chair rises, and the suona horn blows.
The road was bumpy and bumpy.
The matchmaker was shouting, and she was festive.
"Come, let's rest for a while, bride, you are tired and eat something."
The matchmaker still has some conscience, lifts the curtain and removes the headscarf, and still holds a steamed bun and a pot of water in her hand.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang."
Chu Yuyan smiled, took the things in the matchmaker's hand with both hands, and ate it slowly.
The more I look at Chu Yu's matchmaker, the more pleasing it is, this girl is different from the previous girls, those girls before were noisy and could toss her old bones to death, but this girl heard that she was going to marry the eunuch family as a thirteen concubine, not only did she not cry to run away, but also told her that she wanted to marry the past.
If she meets this kind of girl in the future, then she will save a lot of trouble.
"No thanks, no thanks, the girl needs to eat well, let's go to Yan'an County tomorrow, and the people over there are ready, just waiting for you, girl."
The matchmaker smiled, smiled, and the black mole at the corner of her mouth rose a little.
"I want the girl to live a good life after she goes, but don't forget Zhang Matchmaker, the position of the thirteen concubines is that I have seen many girls, and finally I feel that you are the most suitable girl."
The matchmaker stammered, the meaning of these words was already obvious, how could he not hear what it meant.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, this innate beautiful face added a charm, and he smiled lightly.
"If the slave family can live a good life after marrying in the past, they will definitely not forget Mrs. Zhang."
The voice is gentle and small, very docile.
The matchmaker smiled happily when she heard this, and shook her handkerchief: "Thirteenth lady, you are really an understanding person. ”
"But the matchmaker only said that it was an official eunuch, but she didn't tell the slave family who she was going to marry? So that the slave family can be mentally prepared. ”
Chu Yu frowned, looking very sad.
The matchmaker stopped, a little hesitant, and she said slowly when she saw Chu Yu's sad face.
"Actually, it's nothing to tell you, anyway, you are going to enter the mansion, it is Master Lin of Yan'an County, this Yan'an County is the largest except for Lord Hou, Master Lin is the biggest, you must be fragrant and spicy if you marry."
The matchmaker said happily, if she wasn't old, she would still want to stuff herself over, thinking that she was also a flower back then, and the people who wanted to marry her lined up from the head of the village to the end of the village.
It's a pity that time is a knife to kill pigs, and people will eventually get old.
Those fox-like eyes turned, not Hou De but the master beside him?
It's really surprising that a master would do such a thing.
It stands to reason that the official of this Jiangwang Village is as big as Hou De, so how can he listen to the words of a mere master?
There must be something strange about this!
"It turned out to be Master Lin's, if you can marry it, it will be a happy event."
Chu Yu lowered her head and smiled shyly, like a little woman.
Seeing that Chu Yu was satisfied, the matchmaker was also happy.
"Thirteenth lady, eat quickly, let's continue on our way after eating."
The matchmaker looked at Chu Yu and said, Chu Yu nodded, and took a small bite of the steamed bun.
Lowering the curtain, Chu Yu stopped what he was doing.
He remembered that the master next to Hou De was called Lin Xi?
I didn't expect that the master of a small magistrate would have the ability to do such a thing, it seems that this trip to troubled waters is not just as simple as corrupt officials and silver.
……
In the Xiao Mansion, the wounds of Red Sleeves and Zhu Er are getting better day by day, and they can only do some light work yesterday, but now they can even do heavy work.
But this house is really calm, and even Xiao Yayan doesn't bother her.
Thinking about it like this, she thought a little about Xiao Yayan.
"Miss, Miss, the crown prince and the third prince are here!"
Just as Xiao Changge was about to fall asleep looking at the books, a scream frightened her to raise her head, and even her sleepiness disappeared.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Changge frowned as if he hadn't heard clearly, and saw that the red sleeves looked flustered, and he even gasped for a sentence to speak, and waited for a long time to connect.
"The prince is here, and the prince is here!"
Redsleeves gasped for air and smoothed the airway.
"Coming? What does that have to do with me? ”
Xiao Changge said disapprerovingly, the prince must have come to find Xiao Changle, but couldn't he find her?
But Chu Mo also came along, is this going to stage a drama where the two of them are fighting?
"Cocoa, they're coming to your yard, Miss!"
If you go to find Xiao Changle, it's okay, the key is that both of them are coming here, which is what surprised Red Sleeves the most.
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, did the prince and the third prince come to her?
It's amazing.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Chu Yan and Chu Mo appeared in the courtyard at the same time.
"Red sleeves make tea."
Xiao Changge looked at the two people behind him, his eyes fell on the red sleeves, and then turned to the two behind him.
Red Sleeves probably noticed Xiao Changge's gaze, and also looked in the direction behind him.
"Yes!"
Then she left in a hurry, knowing that the two men should have come to find her young lady.
Red Sleeves was secretly happy in her heart, she could imagine the scene of Xiao Changle being angry, and her young lady could enjoy the favor of the two, and she was happy for her young lady when she thought of her young lady's hard work.
Chu Yan looked at the red sleeves and squinted.
"Changge has seen the crown prince and the third prince, I don't know what happened when the two of them arrived?"
Xiao Changge got up, she rarely had a spare time, and these two people came to the door, once Xiao Changle knew that Chu Yan had come to her, she didn't know what trouble she would find?
It's rare to have a few days and the good days are gone.
Chu Mo and Chu Yan glanced at each other, they just felt that Xiao Changge would be happy to see them, but this look was not happy, but it was disappointing.
Chu Mo glanced at the book on the stone table, and then looked at Xiao Changge's face that he hadn't woken up and guessed the approximately.
It seems that they have disturbed her dreams.
"There's really something I want to invite Changge."
Chu Yan smiled mysteriously, and Chu Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Shouldn't the prince be looking for Miss Xiao Er?"
Chu Mo glanced at Chu Yan and said, he and Chu Yan bumped into each other outside the gate of Xiao Mansion, thinking that he was going to Xiao Changle's side, but he didn't expect to arrive in the West Courtyard first, and looking at Chu Yan's familiar appearance, he was afraid that he had been here more than once.
However, this is the first time he has come to this courtyard, and the previous meeting was also in the garden.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Changge lived in this place, which was really simple compared to the mountain pavilion, but it was also chic.
Green trees, willows shade the sun.
Along the way, he saw that the west courtyard seemed to be near the garden, and it was not bad to see the beautiful scenery and the small lake when he went out.
"Find Changge first, and then find Changle later."
Chu Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Changge smiled coldly in his heart, when she was in front of her, she was called Changle, but when she turned around, she was called by Le'er Le'er's intimacy.
Why didn't she find out before?
It is said that people will wake up when they lose it, and this is not wrong at all.
"Dare to ask the prince what is the matter?"
Xiao Changge asked puzzledly, how could she feel that nothing good was good when she saw them like this?
"My father held a horse archery competition, and Prince Ben wanted to invite Changge to participate in it."
Chu Yan said straightforwardly, Chu Mo on the side had the same intention as Chu Yan, and now that Chu Yan said it first, he didn't need to say it a second time.
The purpose of his coming today was the same as Chu Yan's, but what he didn't expect was that Chu Yan came to invite Xiao Changge instead of Xiao Changle first, which made him a little puzzled.
Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows a little puzzled, riding a horse and shooting arrows?
"This prince can remember that Changge, your horseback riding skills are very good, if you go, you will definitely be able to win the first, I heard that the reward for winning the first place this time is 10,000 taels of gold, of course, Changge should not lack this money."
Chu Yan said, and hurriedly explained at the end.
However, he guessed wrong, if it weren't for the ten thousand taels of gold, she would definitely refuse.
More is better than less, and she never does thankless things.
Xiao Changge's eyes were shining, and his eyes went straight into the pile of money.
Ten thousand taels, it is a trivial matter to them, but to her, it is more precious than anything else, it is still a golden land, but it is enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
"Since it was organized by the emperor, and thanks to the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes, how can there be a reason not to go to Changge?"
Xiao Changge smiled lightly, and Chu Mo smiled when he heard Xiao Changge participate.
"Since that's the case, it's a deal, a word!"
Chu Mo took the first step, but he couldn't see anything from Xiao Changge's indifferent face.
"When did Changge say that it was false?"
