The true intentions are concealed, making it difficult for you to guess.

I don't care about things, but I blindly ask for them.

The two brothers talked about the purpose of Li Yuan's trip, and felt that his actions today were really incomprehensible.

The eldest grandson said: "Don't talk about Tang Guogong anymore, he doesn't say anything about it, like a person like him who is very deep in the city, I will not be able to see through his thoughts." Let's talk about his son. ”

He suddenly smiled mysteriously, a smile with a bit of childlike innocence, but also innocent.

This smile is extremely incommensurate with his identity and status.

He looked at Changsun Sheng and said, "What do you think of Li Shimin?" ”

Changsun Sheng saw that his brother had a feeling of rejuvenation, just like the expression that the two had when they played together when they were children.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "This Shimin does seem to be a wise child. ”

Changsun Chi didn't seem to be satisfied with Changsun Sheng's answer, and said, "Why is it smart? As a brother, I liked him at first sight. ”

Changsun Sheng looked at his brother's expression, as if he was holding a treasure in his hand and complaining that he didn't know how to appreciate it.

He felt that his brother wanted him to praise Li Shimin, as if he would be disappointed if he couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

Changsun Sheng smiled: "I deeply feel the same way as my eldest brother, this son is not very old, I think he is more mature and stable than Wuji." has a moderate demeanor and is heroic, and he will be a generation of talents in the future. ”

Changsun Chi nodded, as if he was satisfied with Changsun Sheng's reply.

He said thoughtfully: "Back then, I had seen his mother Dou side, and saw that she was graceful and elegant, with a dignified demeanor, well-versed in ancient and modern times, and exquisite calligraphy, and she was a talented woman in the world. ”

"With such a mother, can the son raised be bad?"

Eldest Sun Sheng laughed and said, "Is the eldest brother envious that Li Yuan has a good son?" No matter how good it is, it's someone else's son, what does it have to do with you and me? ”

The eldest grandson said: "If you want him to have anything to do with you and me, you can do it." Just to see if Ji Sheng has this idea? ”

Changsun Sheng asked, "How can we be related?" But do you think of it as a righteous son? ”

Eldest Sun Chi looked at Eldest Sun Sheng with a smile, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Has Ji Sheng ever thought that it is good for us to marry the Li family as Qin and Jin?" A maid is the same age as the people of the world, isn't it a good marriage? ”

------

Changsun Sheng would never have thought that Changsun Chi would say about the marriage between the two families, and said in surprise:

"Auntie is just six years old, isn't it too early to propose?"

Seeing that Changsun Sheng was a little hesitant, Changsun Chi persuaded: "Ah Mai's appearance, her forehead is high and wide, and the photo book says that this is the appearance of Wangfu and Kefu, and you need to be able to match someone who is stronger than Ah Maiden to be strong and soft." ”

"You also know that Ah Wan is very intelligent, and she is not an ordinary person. I've heard that children who are more than a decade older than her can't beat her in Go. In this world, it is difficult to find a boy who is stronger than her. Now, there is a person who has sent it to the door, what are you hesitating about? ”

Listening to Changsun Chi's words, Changsun Sheng was moved, but he seemed to be a little undecided, he said:

"Such an excellent boy is indeed rare, but I don't know what Li Yuan thinks."

Eldest Sun Chi said confidently: "You don't care what Li Yuan thinks, as long as you are willing, everything will be said by Brother A." ”

------

Changsun Sheng looked at Changsun Chi and analyzed: "Shimin has become our son-in-law, do I have to teach him archery and the art of war?" ”

The eldest grandson said: "Yes! When it has nothing to do with you, I still have to teach, but now that it's relevant, how can I not teach? ”

Changsun Sheng continued: "However, after the engagement contract, it is inconvenient for both parties to walk back and forth, how can there be a man who is not yet married and runs to Yue's house all day long?" At that time, how did he pass on his archery skills and the art of war? ”

The eldest grandson said with a smile: "It is said that Ji Sheng's strategy is unparalleled in the world, and when he encounters such a trivial matter, he is helpless, I say a method, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Eldest Sun Sheng said: "Big brother, please speak." ”

The eldest grandson said: "You first verbally agree, the two sides exchange tokens, and when the two of them are older, then formally discuss marriage, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”

Changsun Sheng raised his hand and patted his forehead, laughing at himself: "People say that people who are smart in big things are confused in small things. Hehe, big brother, you say, is this talking about me? ”

"And the proposal is the man's business, how can a woman propose a marriage?"

The eldest grandson said: "This can't be regarded as a real negotiation of relatives, there must be three media and six certificates for the negotiation of relatives, and now the two parties have an intention first, and then talk about the relatives." In a few days, I will take advantage of the time of the court to probe Tang Guogong's tone and see what he thinks. ”

Eldest Sun Sheng said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the eldest brother. ”

------

Changsun Sheng returned to the inner courtyard, and Gao Qiuniang was sitting alone on the Luohan bed reading a book.

Yuhan and Shuxiang were being female celebrities next to them, and when they saw Changsun Sheng coming back, the two packed up their work and quit the upper room.

Mo Zhu brought over a pot of buttermilk, put it on several cases, and poured one for each of Changsun Sheng and Gao Qiuniang.

Changsun Sheng sat down on the Luohan bed, took a sip of buttermilk, and asked, "What about the maid?" ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "After lunch, I went to Hanmo Zhai." ”

After socializing all morning, fighting with Li Yuan for a long time, Changsun Sheng felt a little tired.

He moved the pillow behind him, leaned against it, and muttered:

"This Li Yuan is really difficult, and he even begged me to teach his son archery and the art of war. He didn't want to think about it, how could an official of the Sanpin Imperial Court go to train his son?"

Gao Qiuniang looked at Changsun Sheng with a smile, and saw that he was leaning lazily on the pillow, and he didn't look at himself, as if he was talking to himself.

She thought that Changsun Sheng was dissatisfied with Li Yuan, and asked, "Did you promise him?" The maid said, "If you don't agree, she'll go and beg you." ”

Changsun Sheng turned his face and asked confusedly, "How did she know about this?" ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "Just now, Ah Wan came over and talked about it. It seems that she is particularly fond of the people. ”

Changsun Sheng pretended not to care too much and said, "How old is the child, do you know what liking is?" ”

Gao Qiuniang smiled: "Where do you think of going?" When I say like, I like to play together. ”

Gao Qiuniang told Changsun Sheng how Guanyin played chess with Li Shimin in the morning, how she liked the character of this Shimin brother, etc.

After hearing this, Changsun Sheng muttered: "Is this a marriage determined by heaven?" ”

Gao Qiuniang didn't hear what Changsun Sheng said, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Changsun Sheng looked at Gao Qiuniang with a smile and said, "I said, is this a marriage determined by heaven?" ”

Gao Qiuniang didn't understand what it meant, she was a little inexplicable, and asked, "What kind of fate?" ”

After Changsun Sheng came back, he didn't talk to Gao Qiuniang in detail about the reception of Li Yuan in the morning, and he discussed it with Changsun Chi later.

He saw that his wife was confused, so he cheekily begged Li Yuan to teach Li Shimin archery and the art of war, and the eldest grandson Chi suggested that he tell Gao Qiuniang about Guanyin's maid Xu marrying Li Shimin.

------

Gao Qiuniang laughed while listening.

She always felt that Li Yuan seemed to be ignorant of human accidents and officialdom rules.

Obviously, Chang Sun Sheng has a higher official position than him, so he should beg Chang Sun Sheng.

But he did the opposite, but asked the chief to help him train his son.

Could it be that he is a relative of the royal family?

But when you think about it, it's not like it.

Li Yuan forced Li Shimin to Changsun Sheng, looking like he wanted the two families to maintain contact with each other.

When Changsun Sheng said that he had agreed to let Changsun Wuji have a relationship with Li Shimin.

Gao Qiuniang interjected: "I think Tang Guogong is not difficult for a strong man, he wants to make the two families closer in the future." ”

Changsun Sheng nodded and said, "My eldest brother and I also think the same way. ”

-----

Later, Changsun Sheng talked about the eldest brother's suggestion that the two families get married.

Gao Qiuniang did not object.

She agreed: "I actually like Shimin's child a lot. According to Ah Wan, he is no worse than her in Go, and he seems to be an extremely smart child. ”

It seemed that she couldn't make up her mind, and she was a little worried: "Let's think like this, I don't know what the Guogong Mansion thinks?" I heard that Dou's future daughter-in-law is extremely picky, and ordinary women can't look down on it at all. ”

Changsun Sheng said: "How can you be picky? Could it be that she will be as satisfied as she is? ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "It's almost the same if she doesn't choose by herself." Have you heard of how she chose a daughter-in-law for her eldest son Li Jiancheng? ”

Changsun Sheng said: "I haven't heard of this. She is a talented woman in the world, how many people can compare? ”

"If she comes to find it herself, it is really difficult for his sons to find a daughter-in-law."

Gao Qiuniang teased Changsun Sheng and said: "Everyone in the whole Beijing division knows, but you don't know." ”

"The choice of a daughter-in-law by the Guogong Mansion requires a good family background, talent, and morality, which is even stricter than the selection of the crown princess."

Li Jiancheng is now eighteen years old and has not yet married a wife. Recently, he ordered a family affair for him, Zheng Guanyin, the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who is only eight years old this year, a full ten years younger than Li Jiancheng. I think it will be a few years before we get married. ”

Changsun Sheng also felt incredible, and said strangely: "In the family of the world, men are sixteen to twenty into a family, and women are thirteen to sixteen into a family, this is basically the norm. ”

"Zheng Guanyin is eight years old this year, that is, he got married at the age of thirteen, and Li Jiancheng was twenty-three years old at that time, such a thing is really rare."

Gao Qiuniang smiled and said seriously: "So, we have to think about the marriage of the maid." ”

"Don't let us rush up, but the Guogong Mansion can't look at it. At that time, what face will our eldest grandson general's mansion have? ”

Changsun Sheng said: "What Madame said is very true, I will go and tell my eldest brother tomorrow, don't talk to Li Yuan about the marriage between the two parties for the time being." ”

------

Gao Qiuniang was in favor of this family affair, and she also liked Li Shimin very much, but she was afraid that the Guogong Mansion would not agree, so she would lose face in her family.

She heard that Changsun Sheng was going to push the family matter, so she hurriedly said: "The husband is not as good as this." ”

"You will see your uncle tomorrow and tell him the situation. Let him see Li Yuan, don't mention the matter of marriage, just say that the two ladies of our family admire the virtue of the Dou family, and want to invite him to come over to see how Li Yuan copes. ”

"If Tang Guogong really has the heart to get closer to our Changsun Mansion General's Mansion, the Dou family will be invited to come, if he can't come under the pretext, we won't mention this family matter again."

Changsun Sheng nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful, I'll say this to my eldest brother tomorrow." ”
