"Mother," Zhang Yan was stunned, she didn't expect Lu Yuan to talk about herself, her cheeks flushed slightly in an instant, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, Yan'er is still young." ”

"It's not small." Lu Yuan touched her green silk with a smile, "When my mother first met your father, she was only eleven or twelve years old. A gentle smile tugged at her lips, and her eyes were distant, obviously remembering the sweetness of her youth.

"Then," Lu Yuan retracted his thoughts, looked at his daughter and smiled, "Ah Yan has someone she likes, such as——"

Zhang Yan's heart pounded in her mother's long joke.

"-Zhang Kai?"

Zhang Yan exhaled, "How could my mother think that?" She said softly, unable to tell whether the emotions of relaxation or disappointment welled up in her heart, "Yan Yin and I are just," that year Shangyuan, the scene of the elegant young man stretching out his delicate fingers and cutting her hair and sideburns suddenly flashed through his mind, and at that moment, the heat of skin contact seemed to return to his heart.

"Brother and sister." She hesitated.

Lu Yuan didn't ask, just looked at her thoughtfully, "Ah Yan, do you know that Liu Xu, the lord of Chu State, is concerned about Zhang Kai, why has there been no results for so many years?" ”

"Because Yan Yin has no intention of her?"

Lu Yuan was distracted for a while, shook his head and said, "You don't know Ah Chu, since he was a child, Ah Chu has been arrogant, and he always refuses to bow his head compared to his sisters." But after getting acquainted with Zhang Kai, he did all the things that he did to bow his head and bow his head. In fact, the lord of Chu is famous all over the world, where are there fewer people who love her? The prince of the Hou family, Zhang Budo, fell in love with her. Zhang Kai respects his brother and will not let Zhang Bu have any problems for the sake of A. So Ah Chu was very aggrieved, and he never gave Zhang Budo a good look. And Uncle Chu Wang is actually unwilling to give her to Zhang Kai......"

Her words were vague and intermittent, but Zhang Yan understood, "Mother," she interrupted Lu Yuan. He pursed his lips and said, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled, "Although Liuhou and your father are not of the same clan, they have the same surname. Zhou Li Youyun, 'If you marry with the same surname, you will not be born.' Therefore, although Zhang Kai is a wonderful person, he is not a good match for my daughter. ”

"Hmm," Zhang Yan replied sullenly, "I see." ”

"That's good - your grandma and I have taken a fancy to King Qi Shizixiang for you, this is the birthday of the Queen Mother. He will come to congratulate him on behalf of his father, so that he can see the character, if it is good—"

"Mother." Zhang Yan was startled, and hurriedly cut her off and said, "I don't need it." ”

"Okay." Lu Yuan said softly, "If Ah Yan is not happy to hear it, Ah Mu will not say it." It's just Ah Yan. Mother wants you to know that Mother always wants to give you the best. With the care of grandma and uncle, you can sit firmly on the throne of the princess in the future. ”

Lu Yuan's words were as soft as a pool of spring water, but they were depressed in Zhang Yan's heart, and she knew her mother's intentions for her. It's just that she can't accept this kind of marriage that is purely for the sake of status, "Mother," she raised her eyes. looked directly at Lu Yuan, "If the prince of Zhao was not his father back then, would you agree to marry?" ”

Lu Yuan was speechless in front of his daughter's bright eyes, and his interests and sincerity could match. It's a kind of luck, but how many people can have such luck? She was just like her mother. firmly believes that his daughter should be a prince and princess to be worthy.

However, no matter how noble the status is, if the person next to the pillow is not related to his heart, how can he be truly happy?

This day is the 100-day banquet of Fan Yan and Cao Rui's eldest son Jing.

When Fan Jing was born, Zhang Yan was far away in Xuanping and did not come to congratulate, but this time she was very solemn and chose a generous gift to go to the door early.

On the water pavilion, Cao Rui coaxed the child in her arms, handed Fan Jing to the nurse, looked back and saw Zhang Yan's curious gaze, and asked with a smile, "Ah Yan, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing," Zhang Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, "I think Sister Rui is a little different from before." "Less smart and delicate, more soft and calm.

When she married into the Fan family, Cao Rui was only fourteen years old, and she was not even seventeen years old when she gave birth to Fan Jing. If two thousand years later, seventeen years old is still a carefree age, but in the Han Dynasty, it was enough to be a wife and a mother. Zhang Yan sighed in her heart, the survival rate of Ying'er in this era is low, and the mother's pregnancy age is too young is also one of the important reasons. At the beginning, Chen Hu died of "illness", in addition to the factors of the Lu family, there was also a reason for being pregnant too early and not in good health.

Cao Rui burst out laughing and sighed, "I've been married for two or three years, how can I still be the same as before." I'll know when Ah Yan gets married in the future. ”

"Young lady," the family said outside the pavilion, "Mrs. Lu Jiu has arrived." ”

"Come in, please." Cao Rui hurriedly got up and said.

This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen the famous Lu Jiu Niangzi.

Lu Wei is not tall, but he is slender, he looks very slender, and a black spring-like green silk is tied in a bun behind him, and when the servants welcome him to the water pavilion, the white flower tree on the shore falls petals, and the girl twists up a petal that falls on her chest, reflecting the reflection of Qing Lingling in the lake. For a moment, it makes people slightly dizzy, beautiful like an ice sculpture beauty.

Early marriage was prevalent among men and women of the Han aristocracy, and the sixteen-year-old Lu Wei should have been married long ago, but he never allowed anyone. The princes and nobles of Chang'an all knew that the Empress Dowager Lu and the Marquis of Jiancheng had a tacit understanding, and after His Majesty's father was full of filial piety, he would marry Lu Wei for him. Therefore, it can be said that, in fact, Lü Wei is the future queen of the Han Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Cao Rui has special respect for Lu Wei.

Seeing the baby boy in swaddling clothes, a soft smile flashed on Lu Wei's lips, and he wanted to bend down to touch it, but he immediately gave up, took off his smile, and offered a salute.

She gave her a hand-copied volume of the Book of Songs.

In the past, Confucius deleted the "Book of Songs", and then passed it on to Xunqing. When Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, was a teenager, he was a student of Xunzi with Shen Pei, Lu Mu and Bai Sheng. Lü Wei was born to be studious, although he was in the boudoir, but he was not small, and after knowing this, he personally asked Liu Jiao for advice when the king of Chu came to the dynasty. And Liu Jiao, for the sake of her life experience, also taught her for a while.

This volume of "Book of Songs" was obtained by her annotation according to the teachings of the King of Chu combined with her own understanding. After the Qin Emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, the "Book of Songs" was obscure, and some of it was vague, and some of it was divided. Therefore, this volume of the Book of Songs is extremely precious.

However, Zhang Yan has a black line, this is a little doll's 100-day banquet. Sending "The Book of Songs", isn't it a little, not suitable?

The gift given by the queen in the future is no longer suitable, and you have to smile and continue. After saying a few words, Cao Rui said with a smile, "Jiu Niangzi hasn't seen Ah Yan of the Xuanping Hou family yet, she just came back from Xuanping." ”

Zhang Yan got up and said, "Ah Yan has seen Aunt Nine. ”

Lu Wei bowed slightly, and his eyes were very cold and beautiful.

The number of people who came to congratulate gradually increased. The young lady with a noble status was welcomed into the garden of Fanfu, and Zhang Yan stood under a sparse flower tree. turned around and looked at Lu Wei, who was sitting alone on the water pavilion. Her white dress fluttered in a rippling arc above the lake breeze, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world.

"Lu Jiu Niangzi really deserves her reputation." Behind him, it was difficult to get off his tongue.

"How can you do it without eating the fireworks in the world?" Zhang Yan muttered, how can she help her uncle take on the world? She was looking forward to Lu Jiu Niangzi, who Lu Yi warmly mentioned and had always admired, and she saw it at first sight. It was a faint disappointment. Such a woman who is alone is not bad, but she is not worthy of her emperor's uncle.

Zhang Yan smiled dumbly for a moment, in fact, it was up. Liu Ying herself also has a lot of bad things, but her heart is extremely biased, but she ignores the past.

"Ah Yan." Beside her, Xiahou Yue, the daughter of the servant Xiahou Ying, smiled softly, "The clothes you are wearing today are so beautiful, well, how did you embroider this four-leaf ornament?" ”

Zhang Yan came back to her senses. smiled, "I don't have any skills in embroidery. It's just that when I saw the wild flowers and grass on the edge of the field when I was in Xuanping, I drew a picture, and asked the embroidery lady at home to embroider it. ”

Because she came from later generations, she aesthetically marked a lot of later generations, although she did not deliberately publicize it, but in the makeup and decoration, every new idea, and because of the status of the queen mother's grandson, she unconsciously became the leader of the Chang'an trend.

"It's really beautiful." Another noble woman, Fu Lan, said enviously.

Suddenly, someone said outside the garden, "The master of Chu has arrived, and the master of Wu has arrived." ”

Zhang Yan looked back, and sure enough, she saw Liu Chu, who was currently walking into the garden, she hadn't seen her for a year, Liu Chu was getting more and more beautiful, her right eye was divided into three points, and a tear mole was charming.

And the girl in yellow behind her, the same age as Liu Chu, at first glance looks inferior to Liu Chu, but if you look at it a few more times, you can feel that the girl has a quiet temperament, hearty and generous.

She had never seen this Lord of Wu before.

"Ah Yan may not know," beside him, Xiahou Yue explained, "In the twelfth year of the first emperor, he returned to Pei County, and Liu Bi, the Marquis of Pei, was named the king of Wu. This lord is the sister of King Wu. ”

"Oh." Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.

The girls giggled, "Why did these two lords come together?" ”

"What's the matter," Zhang Yan was stunned and said strangely, "Is there discord between them?" ”

"Lord Weng likes Yan Yin Gongzi, Ah Yan, you know." Xiahou Yue said softly, "In the past, she was a noble person, and she was the first beauty in the clan, and no one else dared to compete. Since King Wu and his sister went to Chang'an, somehow, this Liu Liu got acquainted with Zhang Kai, and he looked like he had a good relationship, you said, how can the temper of the lord of Chu Guoweng be unbearable, in the past six months, every time I meet in a banquet outing, I have to fight openly and secretly. ”

It's really, a man's face is a disaster.

Zhang Yan laughed out loud, looked at the center of the garden, and sure enough, when she saw Liu Chu and Liu Liu arguing about something, Liu Yan asked fiercely, looking excited, but the girl in yellow on the opposite side was so tidy that she blocked back with a needle in the cotton, so as not to fall behind.

After a short time, the butler came and ordered a feast, and the ladies went out of the garden.

"Yikes." Xiahou Yue exhaled softly.

When she walked out of the path, Zhang Yan's clothes were hooked on the branches that stretched out, and the hanging incense sachet rolled out of it, all the way to the feet of the girl in yellow.

Liu Liu bent down to pick it up.

"Thank you, Lord Liuon." Zhang Yan smiled.

The girl looked up and squinted at the girl standing on the path of the rockery, she was about ten years old, with a green beauty, like a flower bone that was about to bloom, so she smiled slightly and handed back the sachet.

"Ah Yan, let's go." Not far away, Xiahou Yue called.

Liu Liu stopped, turned around, and asked, "Are you the Zhang lady of the Xuanping Hou family?" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

"A single name, a word? Yan Ran's Yan? ”

“…… Be. ”

Liu Liu glanced at her fiercely and turned away.

"-That," Xiahou Yue said, "Ah Yan, have you offended this Liuweng master?" ”

“…… I've never seen her before, so why offend? ”

Zhang Yan sighed, before this banquet started, she already felt that she didn't know how to eat. After a long time of absence from Chang'an, those people, those things, she was a little estranged for a moment.

Chang'an, the residence of the king of Chu

When Liu Chu came back from the Fan Mansion, he saw the horseman driving the carriage parked in front of the mansion into the mansion, and the little servant came forward and said, "Lord Weng, the prince is waiting for you in the study." ”

"Father," Liu Chu stepped forward to bow, "didn't you say that you would enter Chang'an again tomorrow, why did you arrive today?" ”

"The road went faster, and I simply entered Chang'an." Liu Jiao placed the bamboo scroll in his hand on the shelf, and turned around, and the candlelight on the desk illuminated the face that was calm but slightly dusty.

"Zhu'er, after the Queen Mother's birthday this time, you will go back to Chu with me and pay a salute." Liu Jiaodao.

"I don't." Liu Chu was taken aback, raised his head and decisively refused, his eyes bright and firm.

"Chu'er," Liu Jiao raised his voice and said sternly, "How long do you still want to make such nonsense and let the people of Chang'an see the joke?" You're no longer small. ”

Liu Chu burst into tears, "I just like someone, is it nonsense?" ”

Seeing his beloved daughter like this, Liu Jiao suddenly lost his mind, thinking of his beloved wife who died early, he couldn't help but soften, and sighed, "Chu'er, you should know that you have been following Zhang Kai for so many years, if he had a heart, he would have proposed to me a long time ago." Since he didn't, you should die too. ”

Liu Chu shook his head and said, "Maybe what my father said is right, but for me, maybe if I hold on a little longer, he will love me." Unless he marries, I will be unwilling to give up like this. ”

Liu Jiao snorted, "Even if Zhang Kai returns to his heart, his father will not agree." Although Zhang Kai's character is good, he is only the second son, and there is no distinction between the kings. It's better than his eldest brother Zhang Budo—"

"Father," Liu Chu interrupted him, looking unkind, "Did Zhang Budo say something in front of you?" ”

"Let him die. Even if I can't marry Zhang Kai. will never marry him. ”

She turned around in a fit of rage and slammed the door away. Liu Jiao looked at her back, and sighed for a long time, "Idiot." ”

It's the same as her mother.
