Chapter 564: The Two Princes Meet the General
Among the generals who fought for Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da is undoubtedly the number one hero. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also guarded the northern frontier to resist the counterattack of the Northern Yuan Dynasty for the imperial court.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, he, a brother who has played since he was a child, should be the 'first person to make contributions to ancient and modern times'. He once wanted to give Xu Da his hidden mansion Wu Wangfu, but Xu Da didn't dare to accept this special reward.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to give up and ordered to build a Jiadi garden for Xu Da on the site of the Guandi Temple next door to the palace, and built a magnificent stone archway - Dagong Fang, in recognition of Xu Da's great achievements.
also changed the Wu Wangfu to the Yan Wangfu, so that the Yan Wang couple and Xu Da lived next door, so that the two families could move around.
Later, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu discussed and opened a small door on the wall adjacent to the two houses, so that there was no need to go out of the gate to come and go, and it would be more convenient to move around.
Especially during the period when Princess Yan was pregnant and gave birth, she was basically taken care of by her mother's family, and the gang was all in one place, and the two families became a family.
~~
Because it was an early New Year, Xu Da's whole family set out, in addition to his two sons Huizu and Zengshou, his daughter Miaoqing, and his young stepfamily Xie.
Xie looked older than Miaoqing, and seemed to be about the same age as Xu Miaoyun. The jewels and brilliance of the dress are in stark contrast to the elegant frangipani and the wonderful clear water hibiscus.
She also said the most, holding Xu Da's arm, and said in a tone: "Master, Miaoqing will be fourteen after the New Year, and it's time to find her mother-in-law." ”
"yes." Xu Da nodded, glanced at his second daughter, and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, even the second daughter has grown up." ”
"......" Huizu Zengshou also peeked at Miaoqing, only to see her pretty face and anger looming, but quickly suppressed it.
"That's right, our Miaoqing is so marked again, and the mediators have broken through the threshold." Xie asked tentatively: "I picked a few that I still like, or will the old man have time to meet each other during the New Year?" ”
At this time, Xu Miaoqing finally spoke, and said to Xu Dafu Yifu: "Dad, my daughter will go to find her sister first." ”
"Ah, there you go." Xu Da nodded.
Xu Miao Qing Dynasty Xie bowed slightly, then stepped forward, and soon disappeared into the rockery.
"I'm sorry about this girl." Xie Shi covered his mouth and smiled, and asked Xu Dadao in a coquettish voice: "Master, are they not alike?" ”
"No." Xu Da said without hesitation: "You don't care about Miaoqing's marriage, and you can't care about it." ”
"You, why are you like this?" Xie Shi burst into tears and said, "How can I say that I am also her stepmother, why can't I care about it?" ”
"Alas, what are you crying about during the New Year?" Xu is because the old man married a new wife, Xu Da said to the little wife like coaxing a child: "I haven't finished my words yet, not only do you say it, but I don't count if I say it." ”
"Then who has the final say?" Xie asked puzzled.
"Of course it's the emperor." Xu Da smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand from Miaoyun?" Who my Xu Da's daughter marries is up to the emperor. ”
"Why?" Xie asked.
Huizu Zengshou, who was following behind, secretly rolled his eyes, remembering the joke that the King of Chu used to tease the King of Qi, who liked to ask 'why', and the two hurriedly held back their laughter.
"You don't have to ask so much why." Xu Da sighed and said, "Just know one thing, most of our daughters are going to be princesses." ”
After a pause, he forcibly saluted himself and said, "Of course, we can still choose which prince to be the son-in-law." ”
"So what's the alternative?" Xu Huizu, who was behind him, couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "If you close your eyes, you will also choose the King of Chu." ”
"Yes." Xu Zengshou also echoed: "Among the entire unmarried people in the Ming Dynasty, he said second, and no one dared to call him first. ”
"King Chu?" Xu Da thought for a while: "I heard that he is extremely talented at a young age, brave in doing things, and has a mixed reputation." This kind of person must be very capable, but he may not be a good couple. ”
After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "But if I want to find a good couple in the prince, I also want to be blind." ”
"Brother Prince and eldest brother-in-law, aren't they all good?" The brothers asked rhetorically.
"They're different." Xu Da shook his head, not wanting to discuss this topic, and asked again: "I heard that the King of Qi is married to the girl of the Wu Liang family, and the King of Chu is half a year older than the King of Qi, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ”
"I'm waiting for Miaoqing." Xu Zengshou blurted out that in order to complete the task of his eldest brother-in-law, he also worked hard.
"What?!" Xu Da and Xie exclaimed at the same time.
"Really, Huizu?" Xu Da looked at his eldest son.
"Ah, it seems so." Xu Huizu is not as easy to be bought as Xu Zengshou, but he can't go against his sister.
"Tell me the truth." Xu Da's face sank, thinking that his daughter ran away as soon as she heard about the marriage just now, and she already believed it in her heart.
The brothers had no choice but to tell me what they had learned about the deeds of the sixth child's love for Miaoqing...... Of course, most of them are second-hand information provided by His Royal Highness King Yan.
In the description of the fourth child, the sixth child is an innocent little virgin, infatuated with love brain, love at first sight for Miaoqing, goodbye infatuation, and the third sight is completely without her......
Anyway, it's how to show the infatuation of the sixth child. is a sea king behavior who does not mention the sixth child......
Xu Da was a little puzzled when he heard this: "How do I think that the person you are talking about is so similar to your eldest brother-in-law?" ”
"They're brothers, can't they? It's all with the emperor. The two brothers were busy.
"Okay......" Xu Da was skeptical, and raised his voice: "Then you have to pass the old man's level first, I won't agree if I don't like it." ”
"That's what my dad said last time." The two brothers muttered quietly.
"I don't care, I just can't nod anyway." Hearing that he didn't even have a choice, Xu Da was sullen for a while, and the cooked duck had a hard beak.
"Why can't you nod your head, father-in-law?" At this time, Zhu Di's voice sounded, and Xu Da realized that he had arrived at the door of his son-in-law's house when he was talking.
The sturdy young man with two thick eyebrows standing next to King Yan was wearing a navy blue dragon embroidered with gold dragons, who was it not the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of the Sea?
Xu Daden was embarrassed there, Rao was that he had seen the wind and rain, and he couldn't help but blush: "It's nothing, I'm training these two things that can't be done." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly saluted the two highnesses, and the Zhu Di brothers did not dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly returned the salute.
After the ceremony, Xu Da smiled and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also here." ”
"Yes, I'll come to see the eldest nephew," Zhu Zhen politely didn't need this king, and said with a smile: "I heard that the general was coming to the banquet, so I stayed with a shy face and got close." ”
"Xu Da is really flattered." Xu Da hurriedly smiled humbly: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is young and heroic, and has made countless miraculous achievements, and today I am about to see the demeanor of the prince." ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Xu buried me, compared with Kai, I am like a lame donkey running with a horse."
"How?" Xu Da asked.
"I can't catch up in a lifetime!" Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that is a minister and His Royal Highness, it's like kissing the navel in the mouth."
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's a big difference!"
"Hahahaha!" After complimenting each other, the two laughed and walked inside.
