Zhu Bai said with a blank face: "Huh? When the queen mother was still there, hadn't she already arranged it for me? ”

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and said, "But isn't it." Wu Zhen's daughter, Wu Bao'er. At that time, we wanted to propose marriage directly with your mother, but you made a fuss and gave up. ”

Zhu Bai's eyes were red: "I was young at the time, and I didn't understand the hard work of the queen mother, so I made a mistake." Now Erchen regrets it. ”

Old Zhu's heart ached: Yes, if it wasn't for Zhu Bai at that time. Maybe Queen Ma can personally attend Zhu Bai's wedding.

He beckoned to Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai leaned over, he pulled Zhu Bai and said, "It's rare that you still remember your mother's heart." ”

Zhu Bai sighed lightly: "Every word that the queen mother told her son, the son remembers it." ”

The implication of his words was that he promised Empress Ma that he would help Zhu Biao. So what is Zhu Biao nervous about? I can't dig out my heart to guard against him.

Zhu Biao felt a pain in his heart: when Queen Ma died, he made him "love his brothers", but he was always calculating his younger brothers.

Lao Zhu said: "Okay, then Wu Bao'er." We remember that she seems to be more than a year younger than you. It's not yet thirteen. Tsk, it's a little small. ”

"No, Erchen is also waiting for her to grow up."

Zhu Bai sighed lightly, but smiled in his heart: Hehe, just wait for your words.

It can drag on for a day. I can't put it off.

Lao Zhu: "Otherwise, let's settle the family matter with the Wu family first." Getting married in two years? ”

He was actually a little disappointed in his heart, and he wanted to see his favorite son get married.

Zhu Bai: "Okay. When the time comes, he will also ask his father to preside over the sons. ”

Lao Zhu was very satisfied and nodded: "Okay, good." There is no hurry for these two years. Then let's get married first. Father and Emperor find a safe person to help you propose. You can even do the first four ceremonies, ask for names, Najib and Nazheng, and wait for next year to invite and welcome in person. ”

Zhu Bai was very obedient and obedient: "Okay, the sons and daughters are all up to their father." ”

Zhu Biao pursed his lips: Why did things develop in a direction I didn't expect.

-----

Zhu Biao came back from the imperial study.

Liu Bowen asked: "Western Yunnan, has the emperor agreed?" ”

Zhu Biao replied lightly: "The first queen once set a family affair for the twelfth brother, and it was in accordance with the last wish of the first queen. ”

Liu Bowen frowned and asked, "Whose daughter?" ”

He hadn't heard of it at all.

Zhu Biao: "The daughter of Wu Zhen, the deceased prince of the sea country." ”

Liu Bowen: "No. Wu Zhong was in charge of 200,000 sailors. Zhu Bai must not be allowed to get Wu Zhong's support. ”

Now there are five or six out of ten Zhu Bai in the army as a god, and secretly I don't know how many there are.

If the navy also falls, Zhu Biao can only sit and wait for Zhu Bai to take the throne.

Zhu Bai pursed his lips and said, "How could I not know...... It's just that this is the marriage that the former queen set for him. ”

Just one word of "filial piety" can shut him up.

He thought that Zhu Bai must have hated Wu Bao'er last time, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Bai would give up this idea.

Unexpectedly, in order not to accept his arrangement, Zhu Bai was willing to agree to marry Wu Bao'er!!

This kid is really not as willful and reckless as he seems, and the city is very deep!!

Lao Zhu sent Wu Bozong as a matchmaker to Wu Zhen's hometown to propose marriage to Wu Baoer.

First, Wu Baoer knows Wu Bozong, and secondly, Wu Bozong is a champion in the current dynasty, who can speak well, has a face, has an identity, and has a good intention.

Wu Bozong went to Dingyuan with a dowry.

The Wu family is a typical Hui style building, with white walls and black tiles, high walls and deep courtyards, and carved beams and lattice windows.

Wu Zhong was guarding Haiphong at this time, and there were no men at home, so it was Mrs. Wu who came out to see Wu Bozong.

Wu Bozong said what he meant.

In fact, he felt that it was impossible for the Wu family not to agree.

Even when Wu Zhen was there, he wished he could marry Lao Zhu.

Now that Wu Zhen is dead, he has lost his emotional bond with Lao Zhu, and he needs to marry even more.

Mrs. Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, please sit down for a while, and wait for me to go in and ask the little girl." ”

After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of light footsteps, and Wu Bozong was wondering why Mrs. Wu went in for a while, and the footsteps changed.

Then he made eye contact with a girl with bright eyebrows.

Wu Bozong, who was so frightened that he read poetry and books and followed the etiquette law, immediately stood up: "It's the official who is rude." ”

Mrs. Wu came out after her.

The girl sneered at Wu Bozong: "Master Wu, you don't know me anymore. ”

Wu Bozong looked at it carefully: "Ah, you are a woman." ”

Wu Bao'er nodded: "Yes, it's me." ”

Wu Bozong sighed: "Nan Nan has grown up a lot." ”

Wu Baoer said: "We haven't seen each other for three or four years. ”

When Wu Baoer borrowed the official tooth bureau, Wu Bozong happened to offend Hu Weiyong and succumbed to the official tooth bureau.

So the two know each other very well, and Wu Bozong often gives lectures to Wu Baoer, and Wu Baoer is also called "Master".

Wu Bao'er came out of the inner hall to see him, and it was not out of line.

Wu Bozong said: "I came to propose marriage to Miss Xiang, the king of Xiang. ”

Wu Bao'er said: "I can't agree. ”

Wu Bozong was stunned: "Huh?!" ”

Wu Bao'er said: "Master, I heard that when the first queen was still there, she mentioned the marriage between the two of us to His Royal Highness the King of Xiang. At that time, the king of Xiang was scared out of illness. Now that the king of Xiang knows about proposing to me, is he willing? King Xiang is my benefactor, if he already has the person he wants, I can't go against King Xiang's wishes and make him suffer. ”

About the matter of choosing a concubine. Zhu Fan is a bad example, and Zhu Di is a good example.

Wu Bozong said: "Don't hide it, Miss said. The emperor did not determine the candidate at first, and let the king of Xiang choose by himself, and finally decided on the young lady. ”

Wu Bao'er bit her lip and didn't make a sound.

Even if it is the emperor's family, you can't marry forcibly on the surface.

Wu Bao'er didn't agree, and he had no choice.

Wu Bozong thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang is now in Yingtian. Why don't you Miss and Mrs. go with the official to ask. ”

Mrs. Wu said: "The king of Xiang is our benefactor, and it is not easy to go back to Yingtian, and it is also appropriate for me to take you to visit and thank you." Yingtian's mansion should also be taken care of regularly. ”

This means that under the pretext of visiting, Wu Baoer asked Zhu Bai to ask him in person.

If you want to refuse this marriage, it is definitely better to let the Wu family open your mouth than to let Zhu Bai go to Lao Zhu to talk to him.

-----

Zhu Bai was going to leave for Changsha immediately, but Lao Zhu pressed him and waited for the first four salutes to be completed.

And Zhu Tang was crying and crying, and Zhu Bai could only stay for a few more days.

At this time, Zhu Bai was lying in the courtyard with Zhu Tang basking in the sun, eating fruit snacks, which was very comfortable.

Zhu Tang: "Brother, I don't think you will necessarily agree to this marriage." ”

Zhu Bai was a little dizzy from the sun, closed his eyes and said, "They don't dare." The father said that he was proposing, but in fact, he was making an order. ”

Go through the motions, don't you really think that there is a choice?

There is only one way to resist the will, even if Lao Zhu can't bear it at that time, the Wu family will not want to have a good life in the future.

Zhu Tang shook his head: "Tut-tut, with that bull's temper, if you don't want to, even if you are forced to marry in, you will be miserable." Twisted melons are not sweet. ”
