Zhang Chao did not expect that Cheng Qian would suddenly propose marriage.

Ruohua is the second daughter of the Zhang family, more than half a year younger than her sister. In all aspects, she is as outstanding as her sister. She is not only proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has a very good personality and grand personality. In this regard, she was influenced by Zhang Chao's education and was marked by the Zhang family on the Bashang.

Li Ruohua has been engaged to someone else.

The partner is Li Ji's second son Li Siwen. Li Siwen is two years older than Ruohua and is sixteen this year. Zhang Chao originally planned to wait for Ruohua to get married at the age of sixteen. However, this happened unexpectedly. After Zhang Chao was identified as a rebellious person, Li Ji took the initiative to cancel the engagement between his son and Ruohua.

Therefore, Ruohua is indeed not in a marriage contract now.

But Zhang Chao hesitated a little about this matter.

Originally, the eldest daughter Xia Hua promised Chengqian when she was young. After a dozen years, she finally married into the Eastern Palace and was pregnant with a child. But who knew, she died tragically in the end.

Now that the prince proposed to marry his sister-in-law Ruohua, Zhang Chao had refused in his heart.

His precious daughter has died in the palace, and he is not very willing to marry another one. Besides, it is different now.

At the beginning, the emperor made the relationship between the monarch and the ministers closer through marriage. At the same time, Zhang Chao was willing to see this marriage at that time to ensure the future of the Zhang family.

But now, Zhang Chao does not need to sue this marriage to maintain his relationship with the prince.

But the prince seemed to hope to use this marriage to strengthen his relationship with Zhang Chao.

"Actually, you and I have been teachers and students for many years, so I don't need to do this. No matter what, I will always support Your Highness." Zhang Chao expressed his opinion.

"Teacher, I feel very guilty about Xia Hua's experience. Although I have not been married for a long time after my marriage with Xia Hua, I like Xia Hua very much. I like her talent, her freedom and ego, and her grandeur. These are precious personalities that many famous daughters have never had. Only the children of the teacher's family have."

"Xia Hua has left. The woman I hope to marry again is like Xia Hua. I am familiar with junior sister Ruohua, and I know she is as good as Xia Hua. Please help me!"

Zhang Chao did not agree immediately.

"Although the marriage of children is the words of the matchmaker of parents' orders, I have to ask Ruohua what he means, and also listen to the meaning of the red line."

Chengqian nodded, "I understand, Jinghou Jiayin."

Chengqian left, and he temporarily stayed in the governor's mansion.

Zhang Chao called Hongshi and asked her for her opinion first.

"The prince begged to marry Ruohua?" Hong Shi was so surprised when he heard this. Instead, he was excited and very happy.

"Sanlang, this is of course a good thing. If you can be attracted by the prince, it will be a blessing for her to cultivate in several lifetimes. Why are you still hesitating? Of course you agreed."

It seems like a good thing that does not need to hesitate to be a princess or even a queen in the future.

But Zhang Chao did not make a decision immediately.

He used to make a marriage for Ruohua, Li Ji's second son. At that time, both children were young, and Ruohua would not have his own opinions. But now, he regretted the marriage, Ruohua is fourteen years old, she is old and has her own ideas.

"Ask Ernie."

Ruohua was called and she greeted the two of them.

Zhang Chao looked at this daughter, graceful and beautiful, a big girl.

Standing there, she was very beautiful and elegant. This year, she lost weight a little bit, but it was not bad. The daughter of the Zhang family also had to exercise regularly. Zhang Chao even gave his wife, Thirteen Niang and concubines Hongshi. Caiwei and the others had all taught Yoga and Tai Chi.

After regular exercise, the Zhang family’s wives, concubines and daughters are also very healthy.

The surface is not covered with powder, but it has a healthy red charm.

There is also a slutty and domineering spirit of being spoiled.

"My wife, I'm asking you to come over. Are you in good health?"

"Thank you dad for your concern, my daughter is all right."

‘Well, there is another thing. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Runzhou and just came to the mansion. You also know that your sister Xia Hua and her beauty have already left the world. What a pity for this child.”

Hong Shi couldn't help but say, "Your sister's affairs are indeed sad, but now there is a happy event for you."

Ruohua raised her eyes, full of doubts.

Zhang Chao no longer beat around the bush.

"This is the thing. Your Highness proposed to our family today and said he wanted to marry you as the crown princess."

"This is your lifelong event, I want to ask you for your opinion first."

Ruohua was surprised.

Then remain silent.

Zhang Chao didn't urge him either.

He quietly waited for his daughter's reply. If his daughter said she was unwilling, then even if the marriage was very important to the Zhang family, Zhang Chao would eventually refuse to the prince.

"Oh, you silly girls, what are you hesitating about this good thing that fell from the sky? After passing this village, there will be no store." Hongxian couldn't help but say to his daughter.

Zhang Chao glared at her. Hong Shi was actually only 30 years old. Although she has a good status in the Zhang family now, no one underestimated this concubine. But after all, she used to be a slave of the Cui family, and her parents were dowry brought out from the family by Mrs. Zheng, the mother of Cui Shisanniang.

Later, she became Cui Shisanniang's dowry and became a girl from the house. It was a blessing she had cultivated in several lifetimes before she met a good man like Zhang Chao.

He was given the body of a free and good man, and later became a concubine and then promoted to a mother.

She gave birth to two daughters and two sons, and her status in the family was very transcendent. Thirteen Niang treated her like a sister, and Zhang Chao never treated her indifferently. But in her heart, she could not help but feel that she was a low-born child and was a concubine, so her daughter could only be a concubine. Thirteen Niang's daughter was promised to the crown prince when she was born, and she would be a crown prince's concubine in the future. Although her daughter might have given to the son of the Duke, she was a second son of the concubine.

Now that Li Ji regrets his marriage, the prince comes to propose marriage, and the journey is changing.

Zheng Hongxian wished he would make a decision for his daughter immediately.

"Did my marriage with the Li family really become invalid?" Ruohua asked.

"Oh, my stupid daughter, why do you mention the Li family? That kind of family is not a good match at all. Your father used to have such a good relationship with their family and helped them a lot. His Li Ji family followed us and gave us more than a million yuan in property. As a result, when something happened, he regretted the marriage immediately and became the Marshal of the Nanzheng, leading troops to attack your father. Such a family is not worth it."

Zhang Chao said to his daughter, "Li Sixing is actually not bad, but now that the prince of Dongjun has decided to regret his marriage and has returned the marriage letter, the marriage will be considered a waste. Our Zhang family in Bashang has not yet reached the point of complying with the principle of Dongjun Wang's family."

Zhang Ruohua asked again.

"Does the father want his daughter to marry the prince?"

"This is your lifelong event, and you are so old now and have your own ideas. I won't make this idea for you, it's up to you, and you don't have to worry about your mother's attitude."

"Can I let my daughter go back and think about it?"

"Of course, this is a lifelong event, you don't have to worry."

······

Chengqian returned to the governor's mansion and asked someone to find Ma Zhou.

"Second Prince, I have something to entrust the second prince."

"What is your highness's order? Just explain it."

Cheng Qian said, "When Gu met his teacher today, he proposed to marry Ruohua's junior sister. He was a little abrupt. Gu wanted the second minister to go to Zhang's house for formal proposals."

"Is Wen Yuan's second daughter?"

“That’s right.”

Ma Zhou nodded, "Zhang Erniangchen grew up, this girl is really good, her highness is a good match, but she is a concubine." Ma Zhou pointed out one point.

"If the concubine is not born, the orphan doesn't care. What the orphan is interested in is her family background and character."

Ma Zhou knew in his heart that he not only liked Ruohua's character, appearance and talent, but also liked Ruohua's family background. She is Zhang Chao's daughter.

Zhang Chao has many daughters, but he is suitable for his age and has no engagement. It seems that this is the only one who is Zhang Erniang. Zhang Erniang happened to terminate the engagement with Li Ji's son. He is about the same age and is only half a year younger than Xia Huaniang. He is very imaginative of Xia Hua in all aspects.

For the prince, marrying Zhang Ruohua is indeed very good.

"This is a beautiful girl. I am honored to be a matchmaker for the prince." Ma Zhou laughed.

After leaving the Prince's Palace, Ma Zhou headed straight to Zhang Chao's mansion.

Straight to the point.

"This is a beautiful thing, why should you hesitate Wenyuan?"

"To be honest, Lao Ma, I don't object to this marriage, but this time I listened to Ruohua's opinion. I naturally don't object to her if she wants. If she doesn't want to, I don't want to force her."

Ma Zhou sighed, "My second mother met your father, so she really had a blessing in many lifetimes. Even if I were to do it, I would not be as free and easy as you. Children's marriages are not the only ones. Your Zhang family is unique, unique, and the entire Tang Dynasty is unique. But to be honest, your family is really good. The children taught, regardless of gender, have a strong sense of strength, which makes me appreciate. Wenyuan, why don't we get married too?"

Zhang Chao laughed and said, "I have more than 40 sons and daughters, but only Ruohua is left without a marriage contract now."

Ma Zhou said, "You are only 38 years old and can still have a rebirth. Don't you say that Zhang Chao has mastered the secret to having a son. It's no problem to give birth to forty or fifty. When you give birth to the next one, you will give it to me for the Ma family first."

"Hahaha, I've passed on the secret to giving birth to you, it's not so strange, just a simple rule. If you really want to marry, that's fine. Then I'll agree that if the next child in our two families happens to be a man and a woman, then make a marriage contract."

"That word is certain."

"Wen Yuan, we are now considered in-laws. I said, it's right for you to let Ruohua decide by yourself. But you, a father, cannot let a 14-year-old child make such a big idea. You, a father, have to give guidance. They are not as experienced in our life. If you make a wrong decision, wouldn't you regret it for life in the future? Even if you blame your father for not fulfilling your duties?"

Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
