Chapter 330 Preparations
Brother Qian helped Sister Xin buy medicinal materials, military uniforms, food and grass, etc. Li Zhou also volunteered to help out. Li Chengze asked the children to exercise.
When Sister Xin had free time, she taught Brother Zhuo martial arts and Brother Lian's knowledge, played with her brothers and made Menzi happy, made her father, the Queen and the Queen happy, and went to check on the property Huilan had left to her.
Although she is not married, Sister Xin is actually independent, her mansion and property are operating normally, and Huilan keeps the annual income for her.
Recently, Sister Xin often brings her two younger brothers to the clan to attend banquets and visit the elders. Her sweet talk and clever, cute and funny Brother Lian make the uncles very happy, and they agreed on the spot that she would take over the secret guard's job. Sister Xin is grateful for her careful guidance and guidance.
Thanks to Sister Xin's big changes this time, Brother Gan was also tempted and took the initiative to tell his father, "Father, I also want to go on a study tour."
"Oh, have you thought about how many years you plan to go?"
"It will take three years to see the scenery, customs and customs in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and to see the shipping situation in the northwest and Fujian. I also want to broaden my horizons."
Brother Gan felt that he should settle down for a while instead of fighting for power all day long. His mother's advice was correct. His sister became more and more dignified and became a noble and majestic princess.
"Okay, it's getting cold. Your sister is going to transport grain, grass and medicinal materials to the northwest. You can help her and go together."
Li Chengze has always been strict with his son and raised him extensively. Since it is his son's wish, he naturally has to fulfill it. He is very proud in his heart. The son he values has lived up to his expectations and is willing to give up wealth, power, and his own favor to go out and make a living.
"good."
Brother Gan simply decided. Now that he has decided, he will not regret it.
Huilan laughed happily when Li Chengze said this, "I didn't expect that his sister stimulated him. I thought he wouldn't be able to let it go."
"I didn't expect my son to be so decisive. It's really good. I'm proud of him. It's not easy to give up the imperial power. At the beginning, I also had the intention of putting myself to death. He is younger than me. Lan'er, thank you for giving me life. I have a few outstanding good kids.”
Li Chengze was particularly happy.
"This puts me at ease. You can choose some suitable guards for him. Do you want to follow him? If the Ding family boy is not willing to endure hardship, forget it."
Huilan thought that Brother Yu of the Ding family might not be willing to endure this hardship.
Not all of Sister Xin's companions came with her at first. The one with good literary talent was kept by her family under the pretext of staying. The family of the girl with good martial arts agreed to go out with her to play. Now things have changed a lot.
Sister Xin said that there has been an endless stream of people seeking marriage, and they are all very optimistic about her character and bearing.
"Okay, I will arrange the guards. The boy from the Ding family will ask Brother Qian to ask. The boy from the Xu family, General Xu, said that he would go out with him for training, so he agreed on the spot."
There is basically no problem with the candidates Li Chengze is optimistic about.
"I would say that the Xu family has a good family tradition, and their character is upright and reliable."
Huilan smiled and nodded with satisfaction. She also relied heavily on the Xu family in her heart. It was a good thing that the god brother and the Xu family boy were close, and it was a good thing to be close to the Zhu family.
Sister Xin went to Ding's house to play. Mrs. Ding asked insinuatingly, "Sister Xin, you won't leave when you come back this time. Did the Queen say anything about your marriage?"
Mrs. Ding does not intend to give up Sister Xin to be her daughter-in-law. The Queen does not agree. What if Sister Xin herself has fallen in love with my son.
Sister Xin is no longer the easy-to-deceive little girl.
Looking at her aunt, she smiled sweetly and said, "My father, the emperor, and my mother are all relying on me. I have the final say. I nod and issue orders."
She was deliberately vague because she wanted to know how sincere the Ding family was to her and her mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen really loves you."
Mrs. Ding's eyes lit up and she realized that she had great hope. It didn't matter if the queen refused to agree. If her daughter wanted to marry her son, she should not but should agree.
Sister Xin's heart sank when she saw Mrs. Ding's expression.
Brother Lian is a quick talker, "My father said that as long as my sister looks good, at least he must be from a rich family. He has to choose the best son to be his brother-in-law. The fifth brother has said no. By the way, aunt, my cousin is packing things.
Well, fifth brother is going on a study tour, brother Xu is going too, and my cousin should go too."
Mrs. Ding's expression was awkward for a moment, "That's right, Sister Xin, you and your cousin grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. You also know that his body is not strong enough. I think it is better to study at home. This time I can
I had to go.
It just so happens that you are back too, let your cousin take you to play, you two are very good together."
Mrs. Ding made a special hint.
"It's okay if my cousin doesn't go. It's not a big deal. I already have someone in mind for my aunt. It's not my cousin. You can choose a good sister-in-law for my cousin. My father knows who I have in mind. It's just that he still wants to make another choice.
Just take a look at the test for me."
Sister Xin didn't want to make anyone interested, she just said directly that she didn't intend to give Mrs. Ding any hope.
Mrs. Ding's face suddenly became extremely ugly. She held Sister Xin's hand and asked sincerely, "Did you lie to me? Or your cousin has annoyed you. I asked him to apologize to you."
"Aunt, if there is anything that my mother doesn't like, our four siblings will never go against her will. My father has no intention, and my mother has no intention. I have no love between men and women for my cousin. I will not marry him."
He was decisive without any hesitation, his eyes were calm and clear.
Mrs. Ding's face was extremely embarrassed, and she had the illusion that a child was seeing through her.
"That...hehe!"
"My cousin is afraid of hardship and punishment, and his knowledge is not as good as that of Brother Xu, nor as good as other fellow students. Even the fifth brother doesn't like me. Does my aunt think my father can like me? Hehe! Besides, my cousin is the second son.
If he is not the eldest son, the person my father wants must be the eldest son and the best son of a great family. My sister deserves the best match and is not a tool for you to gain wealth."
Brother Lian looked directly at Mrs. Ding with a stern face and retorted unceremoniously.
Even though Brother Lian is still young, where can the royal family find a true innocent child?
"Brother Lian, don't be disrespectful to your elders."
Sister Xin tried to dissuade Brother Lian, but her words were frivolous and her attitude was not sincere.
"Did I say something wrong? You are not sincere to your mother, nor are you sincere to your sister. Do you really think that your father can't see it and treats others as fools?"
Brother Lian scoffed.
Mrs. Ding's face turned red with embarrassment. Even a child could understand the truth, but the emperor couldn't see it.
"Auntie, we are still relatives. As long as the Ding family doesn't behave like monsters, they can enjoy peace and wealth. Don't be too greedy. Stop making small moves. You can't bear mother's anger. Let your cousin calm down."
The Ding family was prepared with both hands. Mrs. Ding and her younger son conspired to ask Brother Yu to please the clan daughter. If he could succeed, they would not give up on Sister Xin and could try harder.
