Chapter 21: Not ashamed
Chen Hua was originally very scared when she got on the horse, but she finally calmed down, and at this time, she finally noticed the gaze of pedestrians.
Some are avoiding, while others are looking over from time to time and whispering to people intermittently.
Chen Hua pulled the saddle in front of him, and his back involuntarily stopped.
Li Cong in the back didn't seem to be abnormal, just walked slowly with her.
Chen Hua used to inquire about his memory and think about this Wu King Li Cong, his reputation was not very good, everyone was afraid of him, and they only dared to watch from afar, or avoided it from afar.
Over the years, Li Cong has probably come all the way through this.
Obviously, there have been countless wars, but they cannot be recognized by the people in Beijing.
One is because of his temperament, which doesn't seem to have been explained.
The second is because this face is a little terrifying, and the scars on the face are like earthworms, crooked.
The most important thing in the world is the face, those little palace maids in the palace on weekdays, not to mention the roles, all of them are like egg whites, smooth and watery.
Chen Hua didn't know why, but he felt guilty at this moment.
If she didn't treat her mother like that to him back then, wouldn't his road be a little easier?
It's not a good thing for everyone to avoid it.
Chen Hua has always felt that it is good to have more friends, although she does not have any friends herself.
The two of them sat on the horse, and they didn't open their mouths for a while.
Ali, who followed all the way behind, naturally kept an eye on the situation on Li Cong's side, and couldn't see the progress of the two of them for a long time, which was really worrying and a pity.
In his opinion, this is a rare scene where the young master sits with a girl.
From behind, the two of them are so compatible.
The young master is tall, and Miss Chen Si is petite, since the two of them have already decided to get married, they should be close like this.
After all, husbands and wives still have to be affectionate to understand, and it's not good to be a couple of resentful couples.
Ali was muttering what to do, but Chen Hua in front of him spoke.
"Where does Your Highness like to go in the city?"
"Teahouse tavern, lively place."
There was a girl sitting in front of him, but she didn't hide his gaze much.
Walking slowly like this, it is rare for Li Cong, he generally likes to walk quickly, leaving all the people and scenery on the side of the road far behind.
It's a pity that this girl won't be willing.
"After Your Highness gets married, will you often go to the army? Do I need to join the army? β
She couldn't see it, but Li Cong still shook her head: "You still stay in the mansion, marching and fighting is our man's business, you don't have to work so hard." β
Chen Hua was a little moved.
But Li Cong then said: "Since I marched, my soldiers are not allowed to bring their families, not to mention the unstable morale of the army, it is also troublesome, you bring a carriage of things, she brings a carriage of things, we will be very tired on the march." β
Chen Hua thought about it, as if what he said was not wrong.
It was a rare opportunity to sit on a horse, so Chen Hua began to observe the surrounding street scene.
I have to say that sitting on a tall horse is indeed visually different, everything that is noticed and what is not noticed is in the eyes.
The two of them talked together, and the topic was bland, but it wasn't too boring.
When he arrived at the place, Li Cong got off the horse first: "This is here, this old master's surname is Zhu." β
With his help, Chen Hua came down relatively steadily.
Master Zhu is a gray-haired old man, and he has a big shop, with some iron pots or clay pots, and naturally, some small stools that look very delicately made.
He was old, but when he saw Li Cong, he stood up and wanted to salute him: "Your Highness, why are you here?" β
Li Cong stepped forward to support him: "You don't have to do these salutes with me, I came here to ask you for something." β
Li Cong did not directly explain his intentions, but briefly asked Master Zhu about his physical condition and some things in his family.
Since Chen Hua came in, he looked at the environment here with great interest, as well as the stable objects placed on the wooden frame.
In the city, they naturally can't make weapons, but she can't imagine that the objects here are so beautiful and exquisite, even if it is an iron pot, it looks just round and shiny.
And Li Cong is not like he imagined that he doesn't talk to people much, looking at his appearance, he is very comfortable talking to that Master Zhu, as if he has known him for many years.
Chen Hua was a little envious of him for a while.
After chatting with Master Zhu intermittently for almost half an hour, Li Cong introduced Chen Hua to him: "This is the person Your Majesty has shown me, and he will be married soon." β
"Could this be the fourth lady of the Chen family?"
Wu Wang Li Cong's relatives have long been spread throughout the capital, some people say that the fourth miss is a little insufficient, and some people say that the fourth miss Chen is also ugly, and she is worthy of King Wu.
But most people are looking at King Wu to see the excitement, after all, the three piles in front of him are really not very good.
One girl after another, they all looked at Li Cong's life very hard.
Master Zhu and Li Cong have known each other for many years, if there is a girl in the family, he will definitely introduce him to him, if he can look at it.
Who would have thought that this world-shaking King Wu, who is in his twenties, has not yet married.
Master Zhu often sighs in his heart, it is really unfair.
But now, Li Cong actually introduced Miss Chen Si like this.
This Miss Chen Si is really a flower-like person, he didn't see it clearly when he stood far away just now, thinking it was another guest, but now that he was standing in, he realized that this was a beautiful little girl.
Chen Hua stood in front of Master Zhu and smiled a little shyly.
Li Cong noticed Master Zhu's expression and said, "It's too young, I told Your Majesty." Your Majesty didn't think anyone had seen it, so she was set for me out of thin air. β
Master Zhu saw that Li Cong didn't seem to like Chen Hua yet, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's not small, it's not small, and this girl looks so beautiful, it's really not a loss to be worthy of His Royal Highness." The girl's face is already tender, and the little girls at this age are lively, Your Highness, you don't have to pick and choose, I think this girl is very good, she is a good housekeeper. β
Li Cong was surprised: "Can you see this?" β
"That's not it, Your Highness doesn't want me to live for so many more years, and that's not in vain."
Chen Hua kept smiling and listening to the two of them, feeling that he had become a vegetable in the vegetable market.
Li Cong thought she was too tender, while Master Zhu was saying that she was good.
"Your Highness, what Master Zhu said is right, I just have a tender face, I am fourteen years old, and I am the age when I can get married." Although it is good to say that he is young, this has become a point for Li Cong to dislike himself, and Chen Hua is a little unhappy.
She hasn't disliked Li Cong yet, she is old, she is old, who else does she want to marry?
If time goes on, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult for him to marry a daughter-in-law.
Emperor Yu did this too right.
"You're a girl, aren't you ashamed?" Li Cong usually sees married women on weekdays, and the elder women don't talk much to men, and they usually speak according to etiquette, and there is nothing new about it.
Those unmarried little girls couldn't wait to hide behind their mothers and maids one by one, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes to see people.
This Miss Chen Si is not afraid of him, nor is she afraid of people.
"What do I have to be ashamed of, Your Highness, haven't you just forgotten what you just said, the marriage between the two of us was decided by Your Majesty. You and I are considered fiancΓ©s, and we were just riding together on the street, and if I was ashamed, I should be ashamed at that time. β
The mother concubine used to tell her that the rules in the world are all binding on others, she is a princess, only she restricts others, and no one can restrain her.
Although she is not a princess now, the blank in the world in those years has made Chen Hua vacant in the matter of rules.
If she remembers the rules she has to follow, she will definitely keep them.
But now, in front of Li Cong, she feels that she doesn't have to hold it much.
Eventually, they will get married, and some things will be covered from each other.
Because he was disliked in front of people, Chen Hua was also anxious for a while, so he also said things that were not ashamed.
Of course, after she blurted out, she actually felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
I didn't want Li Cong to look at her a few times, but he didn't say anything about her.
But Master Zhu was full of smiles: "What the princess said is indeed this reason, and in the future, His Royal Highness will ask the princess to take care of it more." β
Master Zhu was very fast, and the princess was called for a while.
Chen Hua's face was a little hot for a while, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Li Cong and urge him with her eyes.
When Li Cong received her hint, he interrupted Master Zhu's thoughts: "I came here mainly for the matter of Miss Chen Si, she wants to learn how to use weapons." She just had empty ideas, but she didn't know how to do it, so she wanted to find a master to teach her. β
The little girl is like a flower, and she wants to make weapons.
When Master Zhu heard it, he suddenly didn't know how to say it.
He pondered for a while: "The old man is old now, and his dazzling memory is not good, and it is not good to teach Miss Chen Si anything. But the old man has an apprentice who has studied with me for decades, and he is relatively proficient in all kinds of weapons, and he has also done it in major weapons factories. If Miss Chen Si doesn't dislike it, I'll repair a letter and let him come to Beijing. He's been out and about for the last few months, and I'd love to find a chance to get him into town. β
Originally, when Chen Hua heard the front, he thought that the master was going to refuse, but when his mood was gloomy, he was bright.
Chen Hua was so happy that she almost jumped up, her cheeks were red with excitement: "Master, how can I dislike it, it's too late for me to be happy, you let my master take his time." I will always wait for him in the house, and as soon as he returns to Beijing, I will come to see him. β
Chen Hua's speed was very fast, and suddenly the master also recognized it.
Li Cong didn't react for a while, and Master Zhu's eyebrows trembled excitedly: "How can you stand this, how can you stand this......
When he came out of the shop, Chen Hua walked briskly......
