Although few people mention Chengguo Gong nowadays, Sanniang knows it.

The first generation of Chengguo Gong and An Guogong, the father of Sanniang's great-grandmother, were both famous ministers of the current emperor's grandfather, Emperor Guangzong. Chengguo Gong was a Wenchen to help Emperor Guangzong deal with internal affairs, and An Guogong was a military general stationed at the border all year round. When Emperor Guangzong was dying, he once sighed that he had reigned for 20 years, and the country and the people were safe, not because of him, who was the emperor, but because he had two capable ministers.

After the death of Emperor Guangzong, Chengguo Gong and An Guogong continued to assist Emperor Jianwu. At the beginning of Emperor Jianwu's accession to the throne, the monarch and the ministers were harmonious, and it was also rumored to be a good story at that time. Originally, it was rumored in the court that the Queen Mother intended to marry the granddaughter of the Duke of Chengguo or the Duke of Anguo for Emperor Jianwu. It's just that the granddaughters of the Anguo family have all been married, and only one granddaughter of the Chengguo family is still waiting to be written, but to everyone's surprise, the granddaughter of the Chengguo Gong was the first to marry Prince Zhuang, the eldest brother of Emperor Jianwu, as a concubine.

In the end, the queen mother welcomed the daughter of the younger brother of the Chengguo clan for Emperor Jianwu, and the only daughter of a famous man who was not an official in the court was the queen of the main palace, which is the current queen mother.

I don't want to think that three years later, Cheng Guogong, who was in the thick of the saint at that time, asked to return to his hometown because he was old and frail. Emperor Jianwu repeatedly retained him, but Cheng Guogong had already made up his mind. In the end, Emperor Jianwu only allowed Chengguo Gong to lead the family back to their ancestral hometown of Anyang.

Chengguogong's retreat is two dynasties, and the Chengguo family no longer even has any children as officials in the court, but there are a lot of celebrities. For example, the most famous painting saint Yao Chong Yao is the clansman of Chengguo Gong.

Cheng Guogong is gone, and Cheng Guogong is still taking his family to defend the country. It's a pity that it has been twenty-two years since the establishment of the military. But because of a trumped-up crime of colluding with foreign countries, Emperor Jianwu raided his family and exterminated his family.

At the beginning, Sanniang learned about the deeds of Cheng Guogong when she was listening to the background of her great-grandmother Lu. No matter which time, space or dynasty, history always plays out this very similar drama from time to time.

In the end, she had to sigh that for political acumen, An Guogong, a person born as a military general, is still not as good as Chengguo Gong, who was the prime minister of the two dynasties. Just look at the final ending of the two.

The title of Chengguo Gong is hereditary, and the current Chengguo Duke is the eldest grandson of the old Chengguo Gong, that is, the younger brother of the old princess.

Cheng Guogong's family has lived in their ancestral hometown of Anyang for decades. Many people in Beijing have almost forgotten the humerus minister in front of the emperors of the two dynasties, and even Emperor Jianwu himself has almost forgotten that his empress's maiden family is not unknown. But Chengguo Gong really did it, and made himself an invisible person, even when the current Emperor Shunde ascended the throne later, and the lord of the country was young and still needed support, no one in the Chengguo Mansion came out to guide the country and support the society.

This time. I don't know why the Queen Mother thought of marrying the daughter of her mother's family to the prince of Li. And the niece and granddaughter in the mouth of the Queen Mother, Sanniang has never heard of it in anyone's mouth. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is obscure.

And then there's ...... If you count it, the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Chengguo should be regarded as the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, but the son of Prince Erli is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is not afraid of messing up the generations this time?

"So who made the matchmaker this time?" Sanniang asked with a smile.

The old princess smiled: "Speaking of this matchmaker...... In fact, it should be the first emperor. ”

"The Emperor?" Sanniang is strange, hasn't Emperor Jianwu been dead for more than ten years? Could it be that he also gave his dream to the Queen Mother. Or what verbal marriage contract he had while he was alive? However, I haven't seen anyone talk about it before.

In fact, Sanniang's guess is already ** not far from ten.

The old princess said: "When the emperor was alive, there was a drunken joke. It is said that the queen (that is, the current queen mother) is very virtuous, so it is necessary to let the men of the next generation of the Xuan family marry the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Chengguo, but the current daughter of the Duke of Cheng is much different in age from the current emperor, so no one mentioned this stubble when the emperor was going to get married later. I don't want Prince Li to enter the palace the day before yesterday and talk to the Queen Mother about the marriage of Prince Li's son, and it happened that an elderly lady was also present, and also mentioned this joke when the first emperor was alive, and also said that the first emperor mentioned the next generation of men of the Xuan family. It is not mentioned that it must be the emperor, and the prince of Li is also a man of the Xuan family who is the same generation as the emperor. It just so happens that the current Chengguo Gong has an eldest granddaughter who is fourteen years old and has not yet decided on a marriage. ”

When the old lady said that, she must have meant to pat the queen mother's horse. However, when Prince Li heard this, Princess Li's eyes lit up.

No matter whose girl the princess told the prince, the prince always had a bunch of reasons to refuse. Now, if this is what the emperor meant, the prince naturally doesn't dare to say anything. Moreover, she became the daughter of the princess. Even if she didn't see anyone, Prince Li felt that it was reliable, just look at the Queen Mother and Princess Zhuang, and she had never heard anyone say that the daughter of the Chengguo family was bad.

At that time, the princess begged the queen mother, saying that since it was a marriage contract set by the former emperor Chrysostom, it must be fulfilled. The Queen Mother was also in a good mood at that time, and she had always regarded her husband as the sky, so she naturally responded on the spot.

As for this generational matter, not half of them were mentioned at the time. Presumably, even if the Queen Mother remembered it later, thinking that this was set by the first emperor, she pretended to be confused and deliberately ignored the past.

Sanniang asked the old princess with a smile, "Has grandmother heard of this cousin before?" ”

Although the old princess has never returned to the Chengguo Mansion, she should have been in contact with her mother's family during the New Year's Festival.

The old princess laughed when she heard this: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother invited me into the palace to ask me about my niece and granddaughter, but since I got married, I have rarely had contact with the Chengguo Mansion." The old princess was a little stunned when she said this, "My grandfather and father are both open-minded people, and after they returned to Anyang, I sent New Year's gifts back every New Year's Day." After I didn't want to, my mother wrote and said that she wanted me not to send it again, but my grandfather said that the distance was long and the people and money were lost, and he didn't like it. After that, there were fewer letters, and when I wrote to them, I rarely received a reply, and my mother would sometimes reply to me one or two, but it was just a few words saying that everyone in the family was healthy. ”

The old princess leaned her head back on the Luohan bed, as if she was recalling: "After that, there was war, and I rarely sent letters back." It was not until recent years, when the current Chengguo Duke ascended the throne, that there were scattered correspondence exchanges. The current Chengguo Gong is my younger brother, when I got married, he was only ** years old, so little man had to carry me out on the sedan chair. No, decades have passed, and he is even going to marry his granddaughter. ”

Sanniang quietly listened to the old princess talk about what happened to her and Chengguo Gong back then.

"Look at me, it's far away,...... old princess took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "I once heard the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Chengguo mention it once, when she was ten years old, there was a fortune teller from an outsider to her, saying that she had a unique life, and some Buddha fate, and she had to eat fast and chant Buddha in the temple for three years, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster when she was fourteen years old." As long as you stay in the temple at the age of fourteen, you will be able to enjoy all the glory and a stable life. Duchess Chengguo took pity on this granddaughter, so she let her live in the temple for three years, and did not return to her home until her fourteenth birthday a while ago. ”

Sanniang listened to it and felt that these so-called outsiders were idle, and they always wished that other people's flesh and blood would be separated. Fortunately, this daughter was only fooled into living in the temple for three years, which is much better than those who fooled other people's daughters away and didn't pay them back.

"Now that she has avoided the calamity, she is going to marry Prince Li's son, and she is also in line with the fate of the master." The old princess nodded.

Sanniang was speechless, as long as Prince An's granddaughter can survive, her identity is naturally to marry a family with the right family, and she will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.

"By the way, you see which yard in the house is suitable, clean it up, and let Yuerong live in the future." The old princess instructed Sanniang, seeing that Sanniang was a little unclear, the princess explained with a smile: "This granddaughter of Chengguo Gong is named Yao Yuerong, and the queen mother has issued an order to announce her entry into Beijing, count the days, and it should be there at the end of next month." Cheng Guogong left simply, and the mansion and other courtyards in Beijing were bought, so Yuerong lived in Zhuangwangfu after entering Beijing. ”

Sanniang was not surprised by this result, yesterday the Queen Mother recruited the old princess into the palace, I am afraid that it was this matter with her. It's just that these old people are really fast, and this time Prince Li is afraid that he won't be able to escape.

I just hope that Prince Li will not follow his father's example, so that this young lady of the Yao family will be the same as Prince Li.

"I don't know if my cousin entered Beijing alone this time or accompanied by the elders in the family?" Sanniang asked, asking clearly to make arrangements, so as not to be rude when you get it.

The old princess thought for a while: "The queen mother only recruited Yuerong to enter Beijing, and the Duchess of Chengguo naturally will not enter Beijing, her mother is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she will not enter Beijing if she wants to help the housekeeper." With me and the Queen Mother here, there is nothing uneasy about the Chengguo Mansion. You can arrange a larger yard for the time being, even if there are others coming, you can live there. ”

Sanniang retreated, and after coming out of the old princess's house, she went to prepare a yard for the young lady of the Yao family who had not yet met, and picked and picked, Sanniang picked a courtyard for her that was close to the old princess's Shouhui Hall. Second, this courtyard is a small courtyard with complete main houses and wings, and it is quite spacious. And the plaque on this courtyard has the word Chunrong, which also fits the name of Yao Yuerong.

After picking out, Sanniang went to the old princess again, and the old princess was very satisfied, so Sanniang asked the housekeepers to go to the warehouse to move the furniture and furnishings out again.
