"This, this—"

Zhang Xuan opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Baguio smiled and said to the Xuan family: "Old man, I'm leaving!" I'm here, and you're shy, so I'd better avoid it. ”

"Good, good!" He smiled, "This kid has been serious since he was a child, and it's better for me to talk to him about some things, so you can go with your business." ”

After Baguio left, Zhang Xuan pulled the Xuan clan to sit down, frowned and asked, "Mother, what's going on?" Where did Xiao Ji go again? ”

"Hey, I'm here!"

The voice fell, but seeing that the enchantress came out of nowhere, she beckoned to greet him.

"What are you doing with all this weirdness?" Zhang Xuan said angrily, "I asked you to take good care of your mother, but you hid for no reason!" ”

"Master, the slave is hiding, not for nothing." The Enchantress responded, "If I don't hide in front of your lover, she'll be jealous." ”

"What are you talking nonsense? What lover? Zhang Xuan asked with a cold face.

Seeing this, the Xuan clan hurriedly spoke: "Yinzi, where did you come from to be so magnificent? Xiao Ji said that Yaoyao is your lover, and there is nothing wrong with it. You see, my new clothes are made by Yaoyao. She is so filial before she enters the door of our Zhang family, and she will definitely not be wrong when she enters the door of the Zhang family in the future. ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan entered the door, he saw the new clothes that the Xuan family was wearing, they were all brocade fabrics, maybe they were bought from the brocade market, and he was a little puzzled before, but when he heard her say this at this moment, he was relieved in his heart, but he still blinked his eyes and frowned and said: "Mother, don't be so shallow and fooled by a new dress." She is a princess, a royal lady, how can she marry me, a country boy? ”

Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Yanzi, I know why you are angry. Yaoyao told me everything about the original matter, and as soon as I tell you, you will not be angry. ”

Through the next narration of the Xuan family, Zhang Xuan Fang knew that Baguio snubbed him at that time, in fact, there was another reason.

After Baguio told the prince Sima Lotian and Empress Jiang Lan about the matter between her and Zhang Xuan, Sima Lotian and his wife had nothing to do, but they just thought that this matter was not something that Zhang Xuan, a young man, could do, and the two parents had to sit together and discuss.

So, while ordering the relevant personnel to go to Zhangjia Village to invite the Xuan family, Sima Lotian told Baguio that before the Xuan family arrived at the palace, he could no longer talk about marriage with Zhang Xuan privately, lest Zhang Xuan couldn't control his emotions and went to talk to Sima Lotian about the matter. If Zhang Xuan rashly talked to Sima Lotian about this matter, Sima Lotian would be embarrassed, and he would not agree or not.

Because of this, Baguio deliberately became cold to Zhang Xuan. In Zhang Xuan's opinion, this is a royal lady's condescending snub to a country boy, but it is not.

Zhang Xuan listened to the narration of the Xuan clan, and after being stunned for a long time, he said: "Mother, I am already an adult, can't I still be my own master?" They engage in such actions, I think it's redundant! ”

"Boy, it's not superfluous, it's prudent." Xuan Shi Zhengse responded, "It is a big deal anywhere for children to get married, and it is even more important in the royal family, if there is no order from parents, isn't it child's play?" People do this, and they think it through. Think about it, why would a royal lady marry you rashly when your parents didn't even see her? For example, your sister Xiaohua marries Hanwa without my consent, then what will I think? ”

Zhang Xuan pondered carefully, and had to think that what the Xuan clan said made sense. At the end of the day, the alder tree that supports the marriage of children is the parents of both parties, not anyone else.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan gradually calmed down the anger in his heart and asked, "Mother, when can I marry Baguio?" ”

He glanced at him, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and said, "Yanzi, this matter is not in a hurry, and you have to come step by step." In our countryside, you can get married at your age, but in this imperial city, you can get married a little earlier at your age. According to the meaning of the in-laws, before getting married, you must learn the six arts, when you learn them, and when you get married. ”

Yes? How can there be such bullshit rules? The conditions they offered are too strange and a little embarrassing!

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he asked, "Mother, what are the six arts they want me to learn?" ”

"What about the six arts—" Xuan Shi blinked his eyes and thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about it, and turned his head and asked the demon queen, "Xiao Ji, what are the six arts?" ”

"Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding, and archery are the six arts." The Enchantress responded.

"Why, when my mother was discussing with the emperor, you went to eavesdrop?" Zhang Xuan forced his eyes at the enchantress and asked.

The Enchantress smiled sheepishly and was about to walk away.

Zhang Xuan used his mind to take her into Xiaoqiankun, and thought about it.

To say that learning the six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery is not too difficult for him. He studied with his teacher Zhang Kuanren for several years, and he had to write almost every day, and calligraphy was no stranger to him. As for painting, literati often say that calligraphy and painting are one, and he can draw if he can write, so it is not difficult for him. He hadn't learned the skill of horseback archery before, but for him now, it should be a piece of cake.

The only ones that need to be learned from scratch and have a certain degree of difficulty are piano and chess. These two things were not available in the village, and he had not had the opportunity to contact them before. Of course, he has played some wild chess such as stone chess with his friends since he was a child, but he believes that the chess in these six arts is advanced chess, and it is not the same way as those wild chess at all.

As long as he puts a little more effort into these two arts, he believes that he will soon be able to master the six arts, and then he will be a man of all-round talents in civil and military affairs.

The royal family builds a colt according to his own requirements, then he will go with the flow and return it a qualified colt. As a hot-blooded man, if you can't even do this, wouldn't you live in vain!

He pondered his own thoughts, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "Yinzi, do you agree or not to these conditions that people have proposed?" ”

"Promise, why not?" Zhang Xuan said with a smile, "If they let us give us some dowry, I probably won't agree, but this learning of the six arts is a matter of helping me grow my skills, and it won't cost our family half a penny, why don't I agree?" ”

While speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked: "Mother, I didn't see that flower brocade in our family, I didn't see it at my sister's house, and I didn't see it here, where did it go?" ”

He replied with a smile: "I have already given away your flower brocade as a dowry." Yaoyao, that girl, liked it very much when she saw that brocade, and I liked Yaoyao so much, I simply gave it to her. If you don't marry her back, that brocade will never come back! ”

"Hey, I didn't marry her just to get that brocade back!" Zhang Xuan said, "If she makes you angry, I won't marry her, and even if I marry back, I have to divorce her." ”

While the mother and son were talking, Zhang Xuan took out the money given by Sima Lotte and showed it to the Xuan family. The Xuan clan had never seen so much money, and they had never seen Sima coins, so they couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Ah, Yanzi, this royal family is really rich, and if you reward it casually, you can make people spend it for several lifetimes!" With so much money, it is enough for our family to live without worrying about food and clothing. If you become a marriage with Yaoyao, and give me a few more lively grandchildren and granddaughters, then I will have no regrets. ”
