Chapter 279
Even if every family likes to act coquettishly, he is also sensible, otherwise he would not choose to leave home and study medicine. So when he is at home, he naturally has to get close to Zhuhua, even if he is angry with his father.
Yuanyuan didn't want to go home, but at first agreed to let her go out for only three years, so she naturally couldn't go back on her word. She had thought that as long as she married someone with a small family in the future, she might be able to go out often in the future. After all, if she really wanted to do this business, she would have to come here to keep an eye on her. She also knew that there were many things that could be done by just finding a capable shopkeeper to help her, but if she didn't know anything, she would always suffer in the future. The princess's identity is nothing for those who are profit-oriented. If she waited for her to go back, she would still have to prepare more staff.
What she didn't expect was that when she returned to Chang'an at the end of the year, her father prepared a big gift for her to help her. This big gift was the ten secret guards who could be called by her.
"Tuantuan gets married, and the family will prepare two servants for her to call. That's open, and your mother knows it. There are ten secret guards, and I gave these ten people privately, and I have started teaching at your age. Please take them by your side and don't tell your mother."
Yuanyuan was thinking at the time that her mother shouldn't know about this, right? After hearing what her father said, she was sure. She was curious about how her father cultivated human resources. You must know that her father is not the favored prince in the palace, and there is no family support behind her. It is not easy to cultivate her own human resources secretly. However, she did not ask in detail, and she thought that even if she asked her father, she would not say it.
"I can't use these people outside." Jiajia said with some disgust.
King Ping glanced at him sideways, "Do you think no one has come to assassinate you outside these years?"
Now every family has nothing to say. Tuantuanyuan honestly thanked him, especially Yuanyuan. With these people and cousin's caravan, she could probably start her own business journey, but before that, perhaps she would have to decide on a marriage that would not leave her in the future.
Yuanyuan and Jiajia returned to Chang'an before the New Year, but they still didn't tell Zhuhua exactly when they got home, so as not to count on the cold winter Zhuhua went out of the city to wait for them. Zhuhua saw that the two came back safely, but she was only happy in her heart, but she didn't say anything about them.
Compared with last year, Yuanyuan grew a little taller. She looked at her weight, but she was not very good at figure. The person in the needle and thread room worked day and night and made several new clothes for the two of them. Yuanyuan would not leave home next year and had to look at her age. She also prepared several more sets of new clothes for her. Every family didn't care about this. As soon as he got home, he told Zhuhua a good news. Although he still had to go out to study medicine in the future, he could go home during the New Year.
This was the preferential treatment he received after he tried his best to show his heart. In fact, Master Li was not the unkind person. He just saw that the child was too home-loving and had not let him go home a few years ago. Who would have thought that after three years like this, his temperament still did not change. Being a doctor is a good thing, but being too soft-hearted is not good. However, he also found that every family's soft heart is only for his family and for outsiders. Others can't see through this for a while, but he understood it.
Zhuhua was naturally happy when she heard that he was going home for energy saving at least in the year. Even if she was studying abroad, she had to let someone go home. She didn't think that her children were always with her. She vaguely knew that every family loved to act coquettishly, and that King Ping was not happy when he acted coquettishly. Between her son and husband, although she preferred her son, for the sake of family harmony, she chose to send her son out for further study.
As for what they said in the study, Zhuhua didn't know. She was staring at the stewed old duck soup in the kitchen. Besides, Ping Wang must have some things to tell them privately. As long as it was not those messy outdoor illegitimate children, she had nothing to know. In this way, she missed another good opportunity to know Ping Wang's background.
Because it was Tuantuan’s last time for the New Year at home, the New Year of the Prince Ping’s Mansion was very decent. Not only did the decorations in the whole mansion have been replaced, but the servants also received two sets of festive new clothes and a lot of rewards. It is rare that the pearl flowers changed into a whole set of gorgeous clothes at home on New Year’s Eve, which made Prince Ping take a few more glances.
Tuantuan likes the dishes used at the New Year’s Eve banquet. After the meal, the family was talking about Tuantuan’s past. They kept on until midnight when firecrackers were set off. Zhuhua looked at the servants around Jiajia and several young families in the mansion to give birth there. However, Jiajia and Yuanyuan did not go there. They suddenly felt that the children were really old.
She didn't expect Tuantuan's marriage to make her so sad. Thinking about the time she got married, she didn't seem to have any special feeling. Anyway, the Prince Ping's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion of Zhongguo are not far away, so she often returns to the Marquis' Mansion after getting married. But she can't compare to when she was at home, especially after having children, she went to the Marquis' Mansion less often. She had to take care of her own small family, and how could she spend time caring about her parents' affairs like before she got married?
Tuantuan is afraid that this will be the case in the future. She thought about this and suddenly felt warm in her hands. She turned around and saw that Ping Wang was holding her hand and gently pulled her over and pressed her against her.
The softness in her heart slowly dissipated. She held it back hard, but her eyes looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
As the New Year came, the mansion began to get married, and Zhuhua didn't even have the intention to greet New Year. Seeing her like this, Sun laughed.
"I'm now like a mother."
Zhuhua thought to herself after hearing this, she always looked like a mother. In terms of psychological age, she was older than Sun.
Yuan Tai also rushed back to Chang'an on the fifth day of the lunar month. He originally planned to come back for the New Year, but he encountered wind and snow and delayed his trip. Fortunately, he did not miss Tuantuan's wedding date. Zhuhua saw that he was in a dusty state, so he knew that he had suffered on the road and asked his servants to serve him well. Seeing that he came back alone, Lu did not accompany him, and Zhuhua did not ask why. She didn't care whether Lu came or not.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Tuantuan's dowry was first carried to Anguo Marquis' Mansion. The four of them carried the dowry full of 92, which was quite good compared to the princesses. Yuanyuan felt a little unconsciously ache when she saw these dowries.
"I will not be able to have a daughter in the future," she murmured.
Zhuhua happened to hear it from the side and joked: "Will you be happy if your son takes your money to buy flowers for other women?"
When Yuanyuan heard this, she couldn't help but cover her chest with distress and cursed: "These prodigal children."
"You're going to teach a few children who only make money for you." Zhuhua said gloatingly.
Yuanyuan looked at Zhuhua and thought it was a good idea. Then she thought that she was actually quite rich, so she didn't have to make money for her. After thinking about it this way, she felt relieved and spent some money, otherwise she could not just show it to her money. Thinking of this, she still felt that she wanted to find someone at home who didn't like to show off her, so as not to cause trouble for her money.
This time, Xu Qingqing also received a big gift, a high-quality white jade ornament of mutton fat. Even though Zhuhua and Xu Qingqing had a friendship, Xu Qingqing's son had lived in the Pingwang Mansion, but the gift was too heavy. Zhuhua had a vague guess, but she didn't know where to ask.
On the day of the wedding, Yuan Tai was carrying her out. Even though every family could carry her, Zhuhua still entrusted the matter to Yuan Tai, which made Yuan Tai feel very emotional again. If his lucky sister was there, she would have been like this when she got married.
Every family has no obsession with carrying his sister to get married. They always regard Yuan Tai as their relative's elder brother, but they still muttered: "If I carry my elder sister, I'd better let my elder brother carry my second sister. The second sister is much heavier than the elder sister."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yuanyuan knocked Lao Li on his head, which hurt so much that he wanted to complain to Zhuhua again. Zhuhua didn't have the heart to care about him now. She was busy crying with Tuantuan in a fake manner. Yuanyuan immediately went over and cried a few words together. It was impossible for both of them to say that Tuantuan got married, but they really couldn't do such a thing as crying in front of others. They looked at each other silently, and the two almost didn't laugh. However, the Yinhua next to them hit Zhuhua, which made her take a deep breath of choking and hold back the laughter.
Don't say anything sad now. The two of them just want to not laugh, otherwise they will also implicate Tuantuan who is seriously crying and marrying. When the matchmaker stepped forward and persuaded him, he helped the reluctant bride get into the sedan chair, the matter ended. Zhuhua also pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, although she couldn't force a tear out.
The King Ping, who was standing beside him, was really sad. The daughter whom he had finally raised became someone else's family, especially this was his first child, the child he personally enlightened when he was a child. He still remembered how happy he was when his daughter first taught her father. Although this girl looked deserted and didn't like to talk, she gave him purse shoes every year more diligently than her mother. He was not complaining that the bead flowers were made less, and the purse was not easy to break if she used them. It would be done for a long time to avoid hurting her eyes. But the daughter was willing to do more, which was her filial piety, and Ping Wang was of course happy. When he thought that his daughter would only help her husband and son in the future, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Zhuhua was a little pretentious a few days ago. Now her daughters are married, and she is not in any mood. Seeing that King Ping is a little sad, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have a second daughter."
These words that were not as comforting made King Ping sigh helplessly. When he turned to meet Zhuhua's smiling eyebrows, he thought, fortunately, his little girl would accompany him for the rest of her life.
Tuantuan sat in a sedan chair and arrived at the Anguo Marquis' Mansion. Although the emperor did not come to take charge of the marriage in person, he issued an imperial edict before the two of them to pay tribute to Tuantuan, adding a thousand households to Tuantuan. Everyone thought this was considered the emperor's makeup for his niece. Even though the emperor's Peace King was still not harmonious, he was still good to his nieces. I just wonder if the nephew was also favored by him.
No matter what others did, after thanking each other, the couple completed the following ceremony and officially became a couple. Yuan Tai saw Yu Boyan laughing as stupid as he was when he married back then, and was finally satisfied with the marriage.
Yuan Tai returned to the gate after three dynasties and saw that she was in a good mood, he felt relieved to return to the border. During this period, he also told King Ping about why Mrs. Lu did not come back this time.
Lu was sick, and he said this to King Ping.
King Ping did not ask much, but said, "You can take good care of yourself after you go back."
Yuan Tai nodded with a faint smile. Lü was not really sick. She was pregnant. This child was not Yuan Tai. Yuan Tai was always in the military camp. After a long time, Lü couldn't stand the loneliness and became a fucked out. Yuan Tai pretended not to know, but at the end of the year he proposed to go home for the New Year. Lü was quite happy to finally return to Chang'an. He even thought about staying in Chang'an with his lover to live a double-hospitable life. Anyway, Yuan Tai wouldn't know about it. Yuan Tai was also willing to Lü in Chang'an. It would be better if he spread the scandal under Duke Qing's nose.
Unfortunately, when she was about to leave, she found that she was pregnant, so she naturally could not keep the child. Yuan Tai said a few days ago that she had gone on a toll and had not touched her for several months. If Yuan Tai found out, wouldn’t the matter of her husband stealing the man? There were only a few doctors in Guanxiaocheng here, and they all knew her, so she naturally couldn’t go to their place to get medicine. Fortunately, the girl around her cleverness found a doctor You Fang to get a prescription and prepared medicine in different clinics. However, the dosage of this medicine was a bit inaccurate. After Lu took it, the fetus fell, but it left a disease. She couldn’t go back to Beijing.
It was also for this that Yuan Tai had only delayed a few days and encountered Fengxue, and almost failed to catch Tuantuan's wedding. He did not expect that Lu's life was so great that the medicine would only hurt his body. However, now she is surrounded by his people, and she can't take care of her health. This scandal can only be covered up. He plans to endure it slowly and delay her for a few more years, so that he will have to worry about continuing to marry.
Every family left a little later than Yuantai, and they waited for the Lantern Festival before leaving Beijing. In this way, King Ping asked him a few days ago when he would leave Beijing, as if he didn't want him to stay at home for a long time. If he had not had to study medicine, every family really wanted to stay at home and get angry with his father.
This time, Zhuhua was not very sad when he left the family. Yuanyuan was still there at home. Even though this child was lazy, he looked silent, but he had a strong sense of existence.
Yuanyuan is eighteen years old this year. After the family left, she discussed her marriage with Yuanyuan. When Tuantuan talked about her marriage, she always looked calm and felt a little shy in her heart, but Yuanyuan was really calm. Zhuhua always felt that the scene seemed familiar. Later, she thought that it was almost the same virtue when she discussed marriage, but she was so open-minded that she was so good at traveling through time. Yuanyuan would never be like this.
"I don't have any plans yet, so why not look at me first, maybe I can think of what I want to marry later."
Zhuhua thought that it was the same, at least he had to make an appointment with the two young men introduced by Xie Zhenyan and Yinhua to let Yuanyuan meet. She was thinking about asking Xie Zhenyan out, so Xie Zhenyan posted a post to her to ask her out for tea. Now that the two families have become in-laws, it is not easy to move around, so as not to avoid Zhuhua going to the Anguo Marquis Mansion and being thought to be going to seek justice for her daughter, or Xie Zhenyan came to the Ping Prince's Mansion and made people think that Princess Yuqing had done something.
Fortunately, compared to going to each other's mansion, the two prefer to meet in a teahouse. The road is closer and it is rare to see the city style.
The teahouse where Xie Zhenyan asked Zhuhua to meet was her private property. Zhuhua had been to several times before. When she entered the private room, Xie Zhenyan was already waiting for her. The two of them greeted each other. Xie Zhenyan knew that Zhuhua had always been a straightforward person, so she immediately explained her purpose.
Someone came to her to inquire about Yuanyuan's marriage. Zhuhua still recognized this person, Xu Qingqing. Xie Zhenyan thought that she had only mentioned one before and didn't want to go this trip. Later, she thought that Xu Qingqing was afraid that there would be no other family to ask in Beijing, so she came to ask.
"If you want me to say that in terms of character, Mu Lin and the one I mentioned before are good, but the West Sea is farther away, Yuanyuan is afraid that he will not be able to endure that hardship."
Zhuhua also had a deep feeling. She always thought that the marriage she mentioned in jokes with Xu Qingqing would be invalidated as Tuantuan's marriage was settled. Unexpectedly, people were thinking about her second daughter. Mu Lin was 21 years old this year, and it was indeed a match for Yuanyuan, but these two children often quarrel with each other. Of course, the winner of Yuanyuan was the only one who won. She didn't see any other meaning at all. This was because Xu Qingqing was so hot, Mu Lin didn't know anything, right? If he knew that his mother wanted to marry him a wife who loved him, would he be willing?
When she went back, she happened to pass by the house where Mu Lin bought, so she went to ask him what he meant. There was no prince even a mansion. It can be seen that the late emperor did not really treat this prince as a subject. Zhuhua knew that the relationship between different ethnic groups had always been complicated, so she did not want Yuanyuan to marry him.
When Mu Lin heard that Zhuhua was coming, he immediately dressed up and came out to welcome the guests in person. Zhuhua saw that he was still sweating on his head, so he was curious about what he was doing in the room.
"I just now practiced martial arts in the backyard. I was so rude here, so please forgive me."
"I blame me for not coming to visit suddenly. I am not rude first if I want to be rude." Zhuhua smiled and saw that he was still polite, she stopped him, "I happened to pass by here, so I came over to take a look. Your mother happened to bring me a word, and I would also tell you what you mean."
Mu Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he looked angry and happy. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Is it related to the marriage of the second sister?"
Zhuhua looked at his face and found something else she didn't understand, but she still asked unexpectedly: "Do you want to?"
Mu Lin nodded vigorously, and felt that he was too anxious to see. He curled his lips with embarrassment and gave a big gift to Zhuhua: "I'll ask the third aunt to fulfill my wish."
Originally, he wanted to tell him to let him come forward to refuse the matter, but he still begged. Zhuhua hesitated for a moment and smiled and said, "You know the rules of the Prince Ping's Mansion, and I don't count it. And now there are many families who want to marry Yuanyuan. It's not that I'm pretending to be airs. Getting married is a lifelong thing, and you can't rely on your temporary likes and dislikes."
"I know, my mother told me this way before. But if I don't come and try it, my nephew will feel at last."
Zhuhua looked away, then chatted with him about the neat words of the house, and then said goodbye after a few greetings.
Chapter completed!
