Chapter 52: Untitled
Probably due to the influence of crossing her mother's parents, Xu Ru did not take a concubine, the inner house of the Xu family was very quiet, and Mrs. Xu was the daughter of the Kong family, the descendant of Kong Sheng.
The Confucian family is a holy place in the hearts of all scholars, and the emperor of each dynasty and generation will give the head of the Confucian family the title of Yan Shenggong for generations.
I hope that everyone in the Confucian family will learn from the virtues of Confucius and set an example for scholars in the world.
Therefore, even though there are not many Confucian officials in the court, they are very valued and respected by scholars.
Being able to marry the daughter of the Kong family, in the eyes of scholars, is a good family affair in Yizhuang.
Mrs. Xu is also worthy of being the daughter of the Confucian family, she is a good housekeeper, but she attaches great importance to etiquette, Xu Xuanrong usually follows the ancient etiquette at home, and she can't be lazy all the time.
The Xu family has two sons-in-law and three daughters-in-law, the youngest of whom is only three years old now.
"This is Xu Aiqing's second son?"
Xu Ru nodded, "This is the son of the minister, who is not a weapon, and now he is the master of the six products in Dali Temple." โ
"Dali Temple? Dali Temple is a good place, let him and Zhang Qing study hard...... Your eldest son is the 16-year-old who even won six yuan, but you know where he is now. โ
Xu Ru wiped the sweat on his head, smiled bitterly, and was a little helpless in his words.
"I'm really ashamed, my eldest son was spoiled by his grandmother, and he likes to go out all day long, and he hasn't sent a letter to his family for a few days, and Weichen doesn't know where it is now."
Gu Zhi laughed out loud and patted Xu Ru's shoulder.
"It seems that I knew the news of my child before you, and yesterday a letter came from Xi'an, saying that Ziqing was discussing knowledge with their Confucians in their country, and he actually defeated the ten Confucians in Xi'an.
They are very yearning for our style here, and they say that they want to conclude a friendship treaty between the two countries, Xu Aiqing, your son has made a great contribution! I'll have to think about how to reward him. โ
When there are four major forces today, Dongsheng, the people here are called Dasheng, the style of writing is prosperous, the military force is also very developed, Xi'an has always advocated culture, Beirong wins the world on horseback, and there are many small countries in Nanli, which is not enough to trouble.
They have always been well-watered and do not interfere with river water, but lately the Beijung people have been ready to move, often harassing them at the border.
Now that Xi'an has specially sent a letter of state, the two countries can also discuss the plan to jointly fight against Beirong, and Xu Ziqing, who contributed to this matter, naturally contributed a lot.
Xu Ziqing did not become an official in the imperial court, and the promotion and addition of knighthood did not work, not to mention that Xu Ziqing's father Xu Ru did not have a title, and he was also an official in the imperial court, how could there be a reason for a son to surpass his father.
On the matter of how to reward Xu Ziqing, Gu Zhi has also been troubled for a long time.
"Otherwise, Xu Ziqing is still unmarried, how about I marry the princess to him?"
I don't know why when it comes to the princess, everyone tacitly turns their heads to look at Gu Hui, Gu Hui stopped his hand playing with his hair, looked at the others, blinked his eyes, pretended not to understand, and looked innocent.
[What's the matter with me, I'm only five years old. ใ
"Ahem, the third princess is only five years old now, and I'm talking about the eldest princess."
[Xu Ziqing, that old man, still dares to think about my Ling'er. ใ
In fact, Xu Ziqing is not big now, he was 16 years old in the top prize, and since then he has been traveling, and now he is only 4 years old, and now he is only 20 years old.
The eldest princess is now more than ten years old, Xu Ziqing can wait for a few years, but Gu Hui is too young.
Thinking about it from the perspective of an old father, Xu Ziqing has no official title, and he often wanders outside, and he is at home all over the world, so he really has no fixed place to live, even if he is full of talent, it is not appropriate to give his daughter to him after all.
Moreover, he has made great achievements now, and he will have to wait for five or six years before he can marry the princess, and during this period, even the concubine must consider the thoughts of the royal family, which is really not like a praise for the meritorious hero.
Gu Zhi coughed, and finally found his fatherly heart for the eldest princess, and took the initiative to expose the matter.
Gu Hui was terrified when she watched it from the side, she didn't know that the big pig's trotters and the hot-blooded heart of the deputy matchmaker before.
It seems that he will have to be more guarded in the future, lest he drink too much wine and marry himself out.
Seeing that they gradually began to talk about state affairs, Gu Hui was very bored sitting there, her eyes rolled, she jumped off the stool, and ran to Gu Zhi to chew the root of her ear.
What kind of identity Gu Zhi is, naturally everyone is watching, but Gu Hui doesn't seem to be able to see it, he is very considerate and doesn't want to disturb them, and his voice is small.
"Father, I'm going to play with Xuanrong."
Gu Zhi smiled at her and also whispered.
"Go, remember to bring warm spring, and I'll come to you later."
Looking at the figure of the princess running out, and the emperor's smiling eyes, Xu Ru's heart was also a little relieved.
Today, the emperor is really indulgent to the princess, and the princess is as clever and cute as rumored, and she is empathetic. In this way, their mother and daughter are in the palace, and he can rest assured.
When Gu Hui found Xu Xuanrong's courtyard, Mrs. Xu was holding Xu Morong and coaxing softly, while guiding Xu Xuanrong's front.
"See the princess."
"My aunt doesn't have to be polite, I didn't prepare any gifts for the first time I came to my aunt's house, this is my favorite pair of small hairpins, so I gave it to my third sister."
Gu Hui took a pair of hairpins from Nuan Chun's hand, small but very delicate, it is worth a lot of money at a glance, and it will not damage the scalp if it stays on the child's head.
How did Mrs. Xu know that Gu Hui was so heartfelt at a young age, and she didn't know how to refuse.
"This ...... We didn't give the princess and the lady no gifts, but the princess was worried about this little thing. โ
Gu Hui smiled and sent the hairpin up.
"Auntie, don't shirk it, now that my mother is also pregnant, I like *** little sister the most."
Seeing Mrs. Xu accept the things, Gu Hui continued to speak.
"I haven't been out of the palace for a few days! Xuanrong lives outside and is familiar with the outside, can I go to a friend's house outside the palace with Xuanrong to play, aunt and uncle, I will take the palace maid and my father's guards"
I have already accepted other people's things, how can I refuse now, besides, what Gu Hui said is so comprehensive, the guards have taken it into account.
In fact, Gu Hui often goes out of the palace to play, and Xu Xuanrong doesn't have many opportunities to go out, where she needs someone to take her, it's just an excuse to take her out to play.
Although she knew in her heart, Mrs. Xu was helpless, the princess was a gentleman after all, and she played so well with her second daughter, it would also be good for her future in the future, and the two of them went out to play, and even Xu Ru didn't need to care about it.
"In that case, Xuanrong, you have fun with the princess, don't collide with the princess."
Seeing the two of them go out hand in hand, Mrs. Xu sighed.
She just found an opportunity to pull this girl to do needlework, wanting to hone Xuanrong's temperament, but she didn't want the princess to ask for someone directly in her hands.
[Author's digression]: When I also wanted to go out to play, Gu Hui came to my house to ask for someone. (โฆ`~ยดโฆ)
Today, the author is going out to dry oil, and after so many days at home, he finally went out.
