Little Grape Chasing Her Husband
Chapter 13
Not to mention what was going on in the study of Prince Jing's mansion, but also to say that Tang Zhengyan returned home and couldn't sleep all night.Waking up early the next morning, I called my two younger brothers to me, coughed several times, and didn't know how to open my mouth.
Tang Zhengli asked strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you drink too much at Shizi's place and hurt your throat? Why do you keep coughing?"
Tang Zhengyan blushed.
Tang Zhengyi is seven years old this year, and Xu is eight years old. He is a half-grown child. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I still have frozen pears at home. I'll make you a bowl of pear water to moisten your throat. In a few days, the list will be listed." Come down, if elder brother wins Jinshi, he still has to take the imperial examination, so he can’t get sick.”
Tang Zhengli said: "That's not it. Brother, if you are not feeling well, I will go and invite a doctor for you. This cannot be delayed."
Tang Zhengyan comforted his two younger brothers for being sensible, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, my throat is fine." He didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help coughing again. Seeing the worried faces of his two younger brothers, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and said: "Yes, that's how it is. Today you guys are going to prepare, I, I'm going to propose marriage."
It was rare for him to stammer in front of his younger brothers, Tang Zhengli and his brothers were all stunned.
"Brother, what did you say just now? I don't seem to hear clearly." Tang Zhengli looked blank.
Tang Zhengyan's face was still a little red with embarrassment at the moment, but he had calmed down, and said, "Zhengli, after breakfast later, go to the street to inquire, and invite a reputable official media to come with me The palace proposes marriage to the fourth son, Dongfang Junting."
With a bang, Tang Zhengli was blown away, leaving only a wisp of ghost floating there.
Tang Zhengyi is still younger, but his ability to accept is stronger. He blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't the fourth son of Prince Jing's Mansion Brother Fang Ting? The eldest brother wants to propose marriage to Brother Fang Ting?"
Tang Zhengyan nodded: "That's right. Brother, how about marrying brother Fang Ting to you as your sister-in-law? Don't you like Fang Ting very much?"
Tang Zhengyi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it would be great if brother Fang Ting could be my sister-in-law. I don't like strangers I don't know to be my sister-in-law. Brother Fang Ting is very strong and can lift my shoulders Go up and pick grapes."
Tang Zhengyan couldn't help laughing, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
Tang Zhengli finally came back to his senses at this moment, and said anxiously: "Brother, Fang Ting is a man, how could he marry you? Brother, could it be that you were frightened by that vile woman, and you don't love women and love Lan Yan? This this……"
Tang Zhengyan's face darkened, and he shouted: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
Tang Zhengli also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly shut up, but his expression still showed disapproval.
Tang Zhengyan sighed and explained: "That's not the case. Zhengli, Prince Jing's concubine is also a man, have you forgotten? Besides, Concubine Jing gave birth to five sons. Fang Ting inherited his father's physique, too. You can have children. I heard that Prince Jing prepared his dowry when he was young in Fang Ting. Yesterday..." He paused, his face flushed, and he forced himself to be serious: "Fang Ting and I Ting has made a life-long decision, the prince and King Dejun are both here, and they have made an appointment to go to Prince Jing's mansion to propose marriage today."
Tang Zhengli was dumbfounded.
Tang Zhengyi clapped his hands and said, "Since His Highness Shizi and His Royal Highness Prince Dejun know about it, brother should hurry up today, and the prince will not object."
When Tang Zhengli saw what his elder brother said, he knew that the matter had been settled.He was used to his eldest brother being the master of the house, so he didn't ask why, so he discussed how to propose a marriage.
Tang Zhengli was also from everyone, and he had some knowledge when he was young. This year, he is preparing to take the talent examination, so he has something in his stomach.Now that he was a bystander, he suggested: "Brother, it's better not to find a matchmaker, and the list will be released in a few days. At that time, the elder brother will be awarded a Jinshi, and then enter the palace examination. With the ranking, you will have an identity. It will also be face-to-face when you go to Prince Jing's Mansion to propose marriage." There is light. And at that time, the eldest brother also had a teacher and colleagues, so it is not better to invite a well-known wife to be a matchmaker than to just find an official matchmaker? I am afraid that Prince Jing's residence will also be happy."
Tang Zhengyan thought about it, that's exactly the case, he didn't want to wrong Putao, and said: "But I have already agreed with the son, I will go to the mansion to propose marriage today."
"What are you afraid of? Eldest brother, just go today, make an agreement with the prince and concubine first, give the betrothal gift, and wait for the elder brother to be named on the list before going to propose marriage in a fair manner, wouldn't it be just right?"
Tang Zhengyan nodded.Zhengli's method is the right way.It's just that his family really didn't have a good deal.
He was in distress when suddenly someone asked to see him in the front yard.Tang Zhengyi led the man in, who claimed to be the servant of Dongfang Junting, named Xiao Zhuzi.
Xiao Zhuzi saw that Tang Zhengyan was the only one in the room, and Tang Zhengli and his brothers avoided him, so he took out a delicate red sandalwood box with a smile, and said to Tang Zhengyan: "My young master knows that Mr. Tang is going to the mansion to propose a marriage today. Mr. Tang left it with my young master last year, and the young master ordered me to return it to you, maybe Mr. Tang will need it today.”
Tang Zhengyan took the box, opened it, and found that inside was the relic of his deceased mother, the rare mutton fat jade bracelet.
His heart moved, and he wanted to ask, but Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said: "My young master is impatient, and he is still waiting for news from Mr. Tang at the mansion. I don't dare to delay, so I will go back and report back. Mr. Tang My young master has been waiting for a long time." Then he said goodbye and left.
Tang Zhengyan was clever, and in a blink of an eye he realized that the bracelet was probably redeemed by Putao specially for him later on, he couldn't help but feel grateful, he showed a little more respect for Putao's love, and said: "Go back and tell Fourth Young Master, please Don't worry, Tang will live up to his wishes!"
Xiao Zhuzi happily went back to his life.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhengyan really came to the door solemnly, and was invited by Prince Jing and Princess "to talk in the study, and it took more than an hour before he said goodbye and left.
Putao ordered people to inquire several times, and walked around the room anxiously.After a while, Xiao Zhuzi happily ran in: "It's settled! The young master is overjoyed! The prince has already appointed Mr. Tang for the young master! When Mr. Tang is in high school, he will come to propose marriage!"
Putao jumped up with a bang, beaming with joy.
He is finally married!
Prince Jing's Mansion made a marriage contract with Tang Zhengyan, and accepted Tang Zhengyan's betrothal gift—that ancestral jade bracelet.
After going out for a stroll, the bracelet returned to Putao's wrist within a day.This time he wore it openly, and at night he proudly displayed it on the dinner table for everyone to see.
Everyone is silent.Brother Tang pretended not to see it, and both of them were speechless about Putao's hatred for marriage.The little prince wanted to say a few words of praise, but he secretly glanced at the expressionless concubine beside him, and swallowed the words back.
Only Dongfang Junren took the stage, and asked curiously: "Fourth Brother, why are you keeping your sleeves up? Isn't it cold? Let Sister Qingmei come to serve the soup, you don't need to serve it yourself."
Putao twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help reminding: "Didn't you see what I got on my wrist today?"
Dongfang Junren glanced at it, and suddenly realized: "You finally don't wear the string of agate beads given to you by the emperor's grandmother. If you don't like it, give it to my brother. Or I will win the purple gold that my uncle gave me last time." The dragon bracelet will be exchanged with you."
Putao got angry: "I don't want your big dragon bracelet. It's so clumsy, it's too heavy to wear."
"How clumsy. It was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it is exquisite. Wearing it to practice swords can protect my wrists. If it weren't for the impetuous practice of swords recently, my father asked me to wear some jade pendants and agates to calm my mind. I won't trade with you." Dongfang Junren also had a temper, raising his eyebrows to express his displeasure.
Putao said: "If you want the jade pendant and agate, you don't have to worry about daddy going there, you are not allowed to have any ideas about my things."
"Cut, stingy." Dongfang Junren turned his head and ignored him.
Beitang Yaoyue said in a deep voice: "Shut up! You can't eat or sleep, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
Putao felt aggrieved, and felt that the family was full of men, but he had no interest, and no one praised him for the beautiful bracelet on his hand, which made his skin white and creamy, so good-looking.In the future, he must have more daughters, so that they can have a common language when discussing clothing, jewelry, dowry and betrothal gifts.
He finished his dinner in a dull mood, and after walking around behind his father and father, he wanted to inquire about the engagement ceremony.
Dongfang Junqian went back to find his wife.Tang Zhengyan just came to propose marriage this morning, Putao was finally able to get married, and Princess Huarong was found to be pregnant in the afternoon, what a double blessing to Prince Jing's Mansion.Now in his heart nothing is as big as his wife's belly.Because Princess Huarong was not feeling well, she did not have dinner with her family tonight and was resting in her yard.
After Dongfang Junqian left, Dongfang Juncheng also went back to his own mansion next door, while Dongfang Junren went back to meditate and practice, leaving the grapes behind Dongfang Haoye and Beitang Yaoyue's buttocks.
Dongfang Haoye finally couldn't stand it anymore, he smiled, grabbed Putao into his arms, patted his head twice, and said, "Is my daughter happy? My father finally betrothed you."
Putao hugged Dongfang Haoye's waist and said coquettishly, "Happy, happy. Please tell me, father, when will Brother Tang come to propose marriage?"
"Don't worry, the list will be released in two days. He will definitely be on the list by then. After he has won the Jinshi, and after taking part in the palace examination and getting a ranking, father will find someone to ask him to propose marriage."
"It will take so long. It will take more than half a month." Putao was impatient.
Beitang Yaoyue snorted coldly, and said: "You still want to marry tomorrow, don't you? How can the little county king of my Prince Jing's mansion be so contemptuous of me!"
Putao shrank her neck and dared not make a sound.
Dongfang Haoye said: "Your father is right, you can't lose your value. Tomorrow I will go to the emperor's brother, and quickly seal your county king's throne. When you get married, you will also have status, and you will not be robbed in the future." Bully."
"Who dares to bully me." Putao muttered, and then said happily: "I will have a fief if I become the county king, and then there will be an extra dowry."
"You know how to calculate." Dongfang Haoye chuckled, completely relieved.It seems that the son is still very shrewd, and he is not afraid of suffering in the future.
Beitang Yaoyue said: "You should stay at home these few days, and you are not allowed to see Tang Zhengyan."
Putao immediately shouted: "Why?" He still wanted to go to Brother Tang tomorrow.
Beitang Yaoyue slapped the table and said angrily: "You think I don't know what happened yesterday? You are not allowed to see each other before you get married. If any rumors spread, I will break your legs!"
Putao's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly retracted into her father's arms.
Dongfang Haoye also turned slightly pale.I know what he did, although Yaoyue didn't pursue it, but he couldn't hold back his guilty conscience in front of his concubine.But no matter how guilty he was, he still wanted to protect his son, so he hugged Putao and said to Beitang Yaoyue: "Okay, Putao is not really a girl. How can he be locked up at home as a boy? It's okay to see him, No one else would think too much about it.”
Beitang Yaoyue pointed at the little prince and yelled: "You are the one who spoiled him so much, that made him like this! He did such a shameful thing, it would be good if he was not punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, you still want to protect him? I I have ordered people to strengthen the supervision of the Wisteria Courtyard. You are not allowed to go anywhere these days, just stay at home honestly. If you can’t be free, you can sew a wedding dress! Don’t you want to be a woman? Then look like a woman !"
The next few sentences are directed at the grapes.
Seeing that his father was really angry, Putao didn't dare to talk back, and obediently agreed, but he couldn't help but feel angry: If you sew a wedding dress, you can sew a wedding dress. Is there anything in this world that Dongfang Junting can't do?snort!
Putao was imprisoned by his father, and he never left the gate.His elder brother has been around his pregnant wife every day recently, and has no time to talk to him.The second elder brother was driven back to the prince's mansion next door by his father, and he couldn't quench his thirst from afar.Younger brother Dongfang Junren has freedom of movement, but unfortunately he is too young to be surrounded by people arranged by his father, and will report his every move to his father.
Putao couldn't help it, so he had to honestly make a wedding dress at home, and send Xiao Zhuzi out from time to time to inquire about news.Xiao Zhuzi was also locked up and couldn't leave the palace, but he was able to walk around in the backyard anyway.
Three days later, the list was finally released, and Tang Zhengyan was on the list, winning No. 17 Jinshi.
When Putao got the news, she was so happy that she jumped up and down the room, laughing loudly: "Brother Tang is so good, he won No. 17. The ranking is very high. After the palace examination, he might be the number one winner." , I can’t pick anything when it comes to mentioning relatives. It’s great! As expected of Brother Tang. Hahaha, maybe I will be the wife of the number one scholar!”
Xiao Zhuzi happily followed behind, congratulating and said: "The young master is so lucky. Mr. Tang is a man who can read at first glance, not to mention the number one scholar. In the future, he will enter the Imperial Academy and become a prime minister. It is just around the corner. Then you will be the master." Mrs. Yipin."
Putao doesn't care if she is Mrs. Yipin or not.His title of Linjiang County King has been decided, and he is also the first rank.But the imperial decree has not yet been issued, the emperor means that when Putao is engaged, it will be issued together, and the emperor will personally designate the marriage, wouldn't it be even more icing on the cake?
I don't know how the little prince had a clever mouth and went into the palace to tell the empress dowager and the emperor about Putao and Tang Zhengyan.The Empress Dowager grew up watching Putao wearing women's clothing. She has no objection to her son raising his grandson as a granddaughter. She also likes to join in the fun and prepares a lot of exquisite and beautiful women's clothing for Putao.Among the people who liked to dress him up when he was young, this old lady definitely bears the brunt.
The old lady was very pleased that Putao was finally able to get married.Maybe in the heart of her old man, she has unconsciously raised Putao as a granddaughter. Hearing this, she immediately said to the emperor: "You can't treat Putao's dowry badly. As an uncle, you should give Putao a good title no matter what." , the fiefdom must also be rich, and we cannot let him marry and suffer losses."
The emperor was actually very bitter about his own nephew wanting to marry someone else's wife.
Back then he triumphantly married Zhang Luo for his younger brother and married the son of King Beitang of the Ming Dynasty, what a matter of face.It's a pity that the little prince is not up to date. He has a wife and forgets his brother. He decided to support the Ming Dynasty during the civil turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of his desire to watch the excitement.But at any rate, he hasn't forgotten that his surname is Dongfang, and in the end he gave Wen Guo a lot of benefits.But it's the Ming country that will gain more benefits, okay?Si Yaohui, Emperor Ming who is currently on the throne, is Beitang Yaoyue's second elder brother!
However, Beitang Yaoyue has been married to Wen Guo for more than 20 years, and she has always followed the rules. She has never done anything wrong to the young prince. The emperor is still very satisfied with this "brother and sister".In particular, Beitang Yaoyue gave birth to five sons for the young prince, and the emperor even snatched one into the palace to become the prince, and he was impeccable towards him.
Putao is the prince's younger brother and the emperor's nephew, and the emperor also wishes him a good life.However, such a clever and beautiful little county king of the Eastern royal family insisted on rushing to get married... The emperor always felt that his face was dull.
But Dongfang Haoye gave birth to Zhang Qiaozui.He knew his fellow brother all too well.His brother is good in everything, but he has a good face, so he is afraid that he will feel bad, so the little prince tried his best to take pictures of his brother so that he can feel comfortable physically and mentally.It happened that the prince came to pay his respects, and the little prince gave his son a wink. Dongfang Junhe had received the letter early, and immediately understood what his father meant, and played the side drums leisurely beside him.
The emperor loves the crown prince very much, although it is not better than parent-child, Dongfang Junhe is really reliable in speaking and doing things, and has the talent of a wise king.
With the duo's fooling around, the emperor finally let go, and bestowed on Putao the title he had chosen earlier.Dongfang Junhe also took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to choose the best piece of fiefdom for Putao—he directly took the geographical mountain and river map of Wenguo in the imperial study to let the emperor choose. (Niu, the Emperor's own son is nothing more than being named king)
Dongfang Haoye went home happily, and after telling the story, Putao heard that Uncle Huang would bestow the marriage in person, she was so beautiful from ear to ear, her arms crookedly hugging her father.
Dongfang Haoye said: "The prince has made great efforts in this matter, next time I enter the palace, I will thank you brother prince, do you understand?"
"I know, I know. There are big brothers and second brothers, I will never forget them." Putao is not a fool. After calming down and thinking about it these days, I will recall it, especially Qi Hengcheng's behavior at that time was too weird. He didn't believe that there was no conspiracy in it.But in the end, he and Tang Zhengyan were fulfilled, so he didn't care about that idiot Qi Hengcheng anymore. Anyway, it was the eldest brother and the second brother who owed favors, not him.
Putao is under house arrest at home, and Tang Zhengyan misses it day and night.Especially since he had just tasted the taste of lust, he was really a little "sleepy alone" at night.
In the past few days, he has learned how to sew a few times from the embroiderer at home, but who knows that he is really not this kind of material, and the things he sew are ugly.Fortunately, Beitang Yaoyue just wanted to punish him, find something for him to do to save money, and didn't expect him to really make a wedding dress for herself.
However, the grapes almost pierced ten fingers, and finally sewed out a crooked purse, which was embroidered with bunches of chubby purple grapes.He happily let Xiao Zhuzi sneak out over the wall and over the yard to give to Tang Zhengyan.Inside was a love letter.
Putao's love letter is very father-like.When Tang Zhengyan saw it, he was so sour that he almost spit out his breakfast.
I love Qingqing (the four words of Qibi made Tang Zhengyan shudder):
Not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns.Gentleman is a gentleman.poo.The long night is long, tossing and turning. ......
(Probably because he felt that poetry was not enough to describe his feelings, Putao changed his pen and began to write a love letter in vernacular) Brother Tang, I miss you so much.Your handsome face is in front of my eyes when I look at the sun during the day, and your smiling face at the bedside is still in front of my eyes at night.I miss you all the time, do you miss me?Life is so sad without you by my side.My father forbids me to go out, so I can only let Xiao Zhuzi secretly deliver letters to you.It took me several days to sew this purse. It must be worn close to your body, not to be too ugly.It is a piece of my heart, a piece of emotion, all my love for you.I wear the betrothal gift you gave me on my wrist every day, and I will wait for you to marry me after your palace test is over.
Putao wrote a whole page long and hard, and the final signature was "I miss you, miss you, hope you love you, the little grape who likes you the most in the world—Oriental Palace".
Tang Zhengyan could see that the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes were smiling, and he felt that his heart was full, warm, and full of affection.
It was the first time in Tang Zhengyan's life that he received a love letter, and it was such a straightforward and enthusiastic love letter. Although it was disgusting to read, he was filled with joy.He thought for a while, went back to the house, suppressed his blushing, and wrote a reply letter for Xiao Zhuzi to take back quietly.
Putao took Tang Zhengyan's reply letter, her face was flushed, and the corner of her mouth was pursed into a smile. She couldn't hide her joy no matter what, and he didn't want to hide it at all.
Tang Zhengyan's literary talents were countless times better than his, but Tang Zhengyan was always serious, and he had never written a love letter. It was his first time to write a pen, and he only wrote a few words, but it was full of affection.
"My heart is the same. Qin Jin is kind, and I miss it. Wang Qing takes care of his body, and he will never be burdened in this life."
Putao is so beautiful. Every day, she lies on the window, poking her chin in a daze, waiting for Tang Zhengyan to propose marriage.
Tang Zhengyan really lived up to expectations, and was appointed by the emperor as Tanhua during the palace examination.
In fact, it was also because Tang Zhengyan had registered with the emperor.The future niece and son-in-law always want to win more prizes, not to mention that Tang Zhengyan is really talented, he writes well, and he is not stage frightened in the palace examination. He has something to say and a lot of knowledge.
Seeing his handsome face, young and talented, the emperor nodded secretly, appreciating his gaze on Putao, and with a wave of his hand, he named Tang Zhengyan as Tanhua.
It was such a joy.The little prince was very happy, and urged his emperor brother to give an order to give him a marriage, so that such a good son-in-law should not be snatched away by others.However, those in the capital who dare to rob Prince Jing of their son-in-law may not have been born yet.
The emperor felt helpless about his younger brother's eagerness to marry his son.He was just a girl, and when she got married, she was so reluctant. Even though she was married to her own family, her heart still twitched.His younger brother is fine, a good son can't wait to get married, could it be that the son is worthless after raising too many?Depend on!I want to raise so many sons!
Regardless of the entanglement in the emperor's heart, the imperial decree to grant marriage was released.The hype written on it made Linjiang Junwang Dongfang Junting like a flower, and Tang Zhengyan also praised it. It was really a match made in heaven.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, many eyes were dropped in Chaozhong.
The sexual orientation of Dongfang Junting, the king of Linjiang County, is not a big secret in the court. Besides, it is not surprising that his son is so masculine with a father like Prince Jing as a role model.It's just that the emperor bestowed a marriage with such a great fanfare, which still made a group of people sigh, and they also explored a little more about Tang Zhengyan, a newly released teaser.After all, Tang Zhengyan was unknown before, and he only made a splash in the palace examination. Although he was talented, he came from a poor family. He was worthy of the king of Linjiang County, but his status was a bit low.
But the emperor personally made the decree, and seeing Prince Jing's joyful look, everyone was very cute, and became kind to Tang Zhengyan, not daring to underestimate him.
Putao accepted the imperial decree, it was so beautiful, and immediately urged his father to make a small order for him.Rao Dongfang Haoye is so eager to love the girl, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I have to wait for the man to bring up the little ceremony, what's the use of urging the father? Just wait and see the boy's actions."
Putao said: "Father, don't tease me. Brother Tang's family has no elders, and Zhang Luo's matter may be difficult. Please help him, don't make things difficult for him."
Dongfang Haoye poked his son's bright forehead, and said displeasedly: "The boy is not allowed to stay, and he is devoted to outsiders. Don't worry, your brother Tang is not such an incompetent person, let's just wait, he won't Let you down."
Dongfang Haoye was still very accurate in judging people, Tang Zhengyan was really capable, and even persuaded Prime Minister Li Haicheng's wife to help him make a small order.
Tang Zhengli asked strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you drink too much at Shizi's place and hurt your throat? Why do you keep coughing?"
Tang Zhengyan blushed.
Tang Zhengyi is seven years old this year, and Xu is eight years old. He is a half-grown child. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I still have frozen pears at home. I'll make you a bowl of pear water to moisten your throat. In a few days, the list will be listed." Come down, if elder brother wins Jinshi, he still has to take the imperial examination, so he can’t get sick.”
Tang Zhengli said: "That's not it. Brother, if you are not feeling well, I will go and invite a doctor for you. This cannot be delayed."
Tang Zhengyan comforted his two younger brothers for being sensible, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, my throat is fine." He didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help coughing again. Seeing the worried faces of his two younger brothers, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and said: "Yes, that's how it is. Today you guys are going to prepare, I, I'm going to propose marriage."
It was rare for him to stammer in front of his younger brothers, Tang Zhengli and his brothers were all stunned.
"Brother, what did you say just now? I don't seem to hear clearly." Tang Zhengli looked blank.
Tang Zhengyan's face was still a little red with embarrassment at the moment, but he had calmed down, and said, "Zhengli, after breakfast later, go to the street to inquire, and invite a reputable official media to come with me The palace proposes marriage to the fourth son, Dongfang Junting."
With a bang, Tang Zhengli was blown away, leaving only a wisp of ghost floating there.
Tang Zhengyi is still younger, but his ability to accept is stronger. He blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't the fourth son of Prince Jing's Mansion Brother Fang Ting? The eldest brother wants to propose marriage to Brother Fang Ting?"
Tang Zhengyan nodded: "That's right. Brother, how about marrying brother Fang Ting to you as your sister-in-law? Don't you like Fang Ting very much?"
Tang Zhengyi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it would be great if brother Fang Ting could be my sister-in-law. I don't like strangers I don't know to be my sister-in-law. Brother Fang Ting is very strong and can lift my shoulders Go up and pick grapes."
Tang Zhengyan couldn't help laughing, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
Tang Zhengli finally came back to his senses at this moment, and said anxiously: "Brother, Fang Ting is a man, how could he marry you? Brother, could it be that you were frightened by that vile woman, and you don't love women and love Lan Yan? This this……"
Tang Zhengyan's face darkened, and he shouted: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
Tang Zhengli also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly shut up, but his expression still showed disapproval.
Tang Zhengyan sighed and explained: "That's not the case. Zhengli, Prince Jing's concubine is also a man, have you forgotten? Besides, Concubine Jing gave birth to five sons. Fang Ting inherited his father's physique, too. You can have children. I heard that Prince Jing prepared his dowry when he was young in Fang Ting. Yesterday..." He paused, his face flushed, and he forced himself to be serious: "Fang Ting and I Ting has made a life-long decision, the prince and King Dejun are both here, and they have made an appointment to go to Prince Jing's mansion to propose marriage today."
Tang Zhengli was dumbfounded.
Tang Zhengyi clapped his hands and said, "Since His Highness Shizi and His Royal Highness Prince Dejun know about it, brother should hurry up today, and the prince will not object."
When Tang Zhengli saw what his elder brother said, he knew that the matter had been settled.He was used to his eldest brother being the master of the house, so he didn't ask why, so he discussed how to propose a marriage.
Tang Zhengli was also from everyone, and he had some knowledge when he was young. This year, he is preparing to take the talent examination, so he has something in his stomach.Now that he was a bystander, he suggested: "Brother, it's better not to find a matchmaker, and the list will be released in a few days. At that time, the elder brother will be awarded a Jinshi, and then enter the palace examination. With the ranking, you will have an identity. It will also be face-to-face when you go to Prince Jing's Mansion to propose marriage." There is light. And at that time, the eldest brother also had a teacher and colleagues, so it is not better to invite a well-known wife to be a matchmaker than to just find an official matchmaker? I am afraid that Prince Jing's residence will also be happy."
Tang Zhengyan thought about it, that's exactly the case, he didn't want to wrong Putao, and said: "But I have already agreed with the son, I will go to the mansion to propose marriage today."
"What are you afraid of? Eldest brother, just go today, make an agreement with the prince and concubine first, give the betrothal gift, and wait for the elder brother to be named on the list before going to propose marriage in a fair manner, wouldn't it be just right?"
Tang Zhengyan nodded.Zhengli's method is the right way.It's just that his family really didn't have a good deal.
He was in distress when suddenly someone asked to see him in the front yard.Tang Zhengyi led the man in, who claimed to be the servant of Dongfang Junting, named Xiao Zhuzi.
Xiao Zhuzi saw that Tang Zhengyan was the only one in the room, and Tang Zhengli and his brothers avoided him, so he took out a delicate red sandalwood box with a smile, and said to Tang Zhengyan: "My young master knows that Mr. Tang is going to the mansion to propose a marriage today. Mr. Tang left it with my young master last year, and the young master ordered me to return it to you, maybe Mr. Tang will need it today.”
Tang Zhengyan took the box, opened it, and found that inside was the relic of his deceased mother, the rare mutton fat jade bracelet.
His heart moved, and he wanted to ask, but Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said: "My young master is impatient, and he is still waiting for news from Mr. Tang at the mansion. I don't dare to delay, so I will go back and report back. Mr. Tang My young master has been waiting for a long time." Then he said goodbye and left.
Tang Zhengyan was clever, and in a blink of an eye he realized that the bracelet was probably redeemed by Putao specially for him later on, he couldn't help but feel grateful, he showed a little more respect for Putao's love, and said: "Go back and tell Fourth Young Master, please Don't worry, Tang will live up to his wishes!"
Xiao Zhuzi happily went back to his life.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhengyan really came to the door solemnly, and was invited by Prince Jing and Princess "to talk in the study, and it took more than an hour before he said goodbye and left.
Putao ordered people to inquire several times, and walked around the room anxiously.After a while, Xiao Zhuzi happily ran in: "It's settled! The young master is overjoyed! The prince has already appointed Mr. Tang for the young master! When Mr. Tang is in high school, he will come to propose marriage!"
Putao jumped up with a bang, beaming with joy.
He is finally married!
Prince Jing's Mansion made a marriage contract with Tang Zhengyan, and accepted Tang Zhengyan's betrothal gift—that ancestral jade bracelet.
After going out for a stroll, the bracelet returned to Putao's wrist within a day.This time he wore it openly, and at night he proudly displayed it on the dinner table for everyone to see.
Everyone is silent.Brother Tang pretended not to see it, and both of them were speechless about Putao's hatred for marriage.The little prince wanted to say a few words of praise, but he secretly glanced at the expressionless concubine beside him, and swallowed the words back.
Only Dongfang Junren took the stage, and asked curiously: "Fourth Brother, why are you keeping your sleeves up? Isn't it cold? Let Sister Qingmei come to serve the soup, you don't need to serve it yourself."
Putao twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help reminding: "Didn't you see what I got on my wrist today?"
Dongfang Junren glanced at it, and suddenly realized: "You finally don't wear the string of agate beads given to you by the emperor's grandmother. If you don't like it, give it to my brother. Or I will win the purple gold that my uncle gave me last time." The dragon bracelet will be exchanged with you."
Putao got angry: "I don't want your big dragon bracelet. It's so clumsy, it's too heavy to wear."
"How clumsy. It was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it is exquisite. Wearing it to practice swords can protect my wrists. If it weren't for the impetuous practice of swords recently, my father asked me to wear some jade pendants and agates to calm my mind. I won't trade with you." Dongfang Junren also had a temper, raising his eyebrows to express his displeasure.
Putao said: "If you want the jade pendant and agate, you don't have to worry about daddy going there, you are not allowed to have any ideas about my things."
"Cut, stingy." Dongfang Junren turned his head and ignored him.
Beitang Yaoyue said in a deep voice: "Shut up! You can't eat or sleep, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
Putao felt aggrieved, and felt that the family was full of men, but he had no interest, and no one praised him for the beautiful bracelet on his hand, which made his skin white and creamy, so good-looking.In the future, he must have more daughters, so that they can have a common language when discussing clothing, jewelry, dowry and betrothal gifts.
He finished his dinner in a dull mood, and after walking around behind his father and father, he wanted to inquire about the engagement ceremony.
Dongfang Junqian went back to find his wife.Tang Zhengyan just came to propose marriage this morning, Putao was finally able to get married, and Princess Huarong was found to be pregnant in the afternoon, what a double blessing to Prince Jing's Mansion.Now in his heart nothing is as big as his wife's belly.Because Princess Huarong was not feeling well, she did not have dinner with her family tonight and was resting in her yard.
After Dongfang Junqian left, Dongfang Juncheng also went back to his own mansion next door, while Dongfang Junren went back to meditate and practice, leaving the grapes behind Dongfang Haoye and Beitang Yaoyue's buttocks.
Dongfang Haoye finally couldn't stand it anymore, he smiled, grabbed Putao into his arms, patted his head twice, and said, "Is my daughter happy? My father finally betrothed you."
Putao hugged Dongfang Haoye's waist and said coquettishly, "Happy, happy. Please tell me, father, when will Brother Tang come to propose marriage?"
"Don't worry, the list will be released in two days. He will definitely be on the list by then. After he has won the Jinshi, and after taking part in the palace examination and getting a ranking, father will find someone to ask him to propose marriage."
"It will take so long. It will take more than half a month." Putao was impatient.
Beitang Yaoyue snorted coldly, and said: "You still want to marry tomorrow, don't you? How can the little county king of my Prince Jing's mansion be so contemptuous of me!"
Putao shrank her neck and dared not make a sound.
Dongfang Haoye said: "Your father is right, you can't lose your value. Tomorrow I will go to the emperor's brother, and quickly seal your county king's throne. When you get married, you will also have status, and you will not be robbed in the future." Bully."
"Who dares to bully me." Putao muttered, and then said happily: "I will have a fief if I become the county king, and then there will be an extra dowry."
"You know how to calculate." Dongfang Haoye chuckled, completely relieved.It seems that the son is still very shrewd, and he is not afraid of suffering in the future.
Beitang Yaoyue said: "You should stay at home these few days, and you are not allowed to see Tang Zhengyan."
Putao immediately shouted: "Why?" He still wanted to go to Brother Tang tomorrow.
Beitang Yaoyue slapped the table and said angrily: "You think I don't know what happened yesterday? You are not allowed to see each other before you get married. If any rumors spread, I will break your legs!"
Putao's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly retracted into her father's arms.
Dongfang Haoye also turned slightly pale.I know what he did, although Yaoyue didn't pursue it, but he couldn't hold back his guilty conscience in front of his concubine.But no matter how guilty he was, he still wanted to protect his son, so he hugged Putao and said to Beitang Yaoyue: "Okay, Putao is not really a girl. How can he be locked up at home as a boy? It's okay to see him, No one else would think too much about it.”
Beitang Yaoyue pointed at the little prince and yelled: "You are the one who spoiled him so much, that made him like this! He did such a shameful thing, it would be good if he was not punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, you still want to protect him? I I have ordered people to strengthen the supervision of the Wisteria Courtyard. You are not allowed to go anywhere these days, just stay at home honestly. If you can’t be free, you can sew a wedding dress! Don’t you want to be a woman? Then look like a woman !"
The next few sentences are directed at the grapes.
Seeing that his father was really angry, Putao didn't dare to talk back, and obediently agreed, but he couldn't help but feel angry: If you sew a wedding dress, you can sew a wedding dress. Is there anything in this world that Dongfang Junting can't do?snort!
Putao was imprisoned by his father, and he never left the gate.His elder brother has been around his pregnant wife every day recently, and has no time to talk to him.The second elder brother was driven back to the prince's mansion next door by his father, and he couldn't quench his thirst from afar.Younger brother Dongfang Junren has freedom of movement, but unfortunately he is too young to be surrounded by people arranged by his father, and will report his every move to his father.
Putao couldn't help it, so he had to honestly make a wedding dress at home, and send Xiao Zhuzi out from time to time to inquire about news.Xiao Zhuzi was also locked up and couldn't leave the palace, but he was able to walk around in the backyard anyway.
Three days later, the list was finally released, and Tang Zhengyan was on the list, winning No. 17 Jinshi.
When Putao got the news, she was so happy that she jumped up and down the room, laughing loudly: "Brother Tang is so good, he won No. 17. The ranking is very high. After the palace examination, he might be the number one winner." , I can’t pick anything when it comes to mentioning relatives. It’s great! As expected of Brother Tang. Hahaha, maybe I will be the wife of the number one scholar!”
Xiao Zhuzi happily followed behind, congratulating and said: "The young master is so lucky. Mr. Tang is a man who can read at first glance, not to mention the number one scholar. In the future, he will enter the Imperial Academy and become a prime minister. It is just around the corner. Then you will be the master." Mrs. Yipin."
Putao doesn't care if she is Mrs. Yipin or not.His title of Linjiang County King has been decided, and he is also the first rank.But the imperial decree has not yet been issued, the emperor means that when Putao is engaged, it will be issued together, and the emperor will personally designate the marriage, wouldn't it be even more icing on the cake?
I don't know how the little prince had a clever mouth and went into the palace to tell the empress dowager and the emperor about Putao and Tang Zhengyan.The Empress Dowager grew up watching Putao wearing women's clothing. She has no objection to her son raising his grandson as a granddaughter. She also likes to join in the fun and prepares a lot of exquisite and beautiful women's clothing for Putao.Among the people who liked to dress him up when he was young, this old lady definitely bears the brunt.
The old lady was very pleased that Putao was finally able to get married.Maybe in the heart of her old man, she has unconsciously raised Putao as a granddaughter. Hearing this, she immediately said to the emperor: "You can't treat Putao's dowry badly. As an uncle, you should give Putao a good title no matter what." , the fiefdom must also be rich, and we cannot let him marry and suffer losses."
The emperor was actually very bitter about his own nephew wanting to marry someone else's wife.
Back then he triumphantly married Zhang Luo for his younger brother and married the son of King Beitang of the Ming Dynasty, what a matter of face.It's a pity that the little prince is not up to date. He has a wife and forgets his brother. He decided to support the Ming Dynasty during the civil turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of his desire to watch the excitement.But at any rate, he hasn't forgotten that his surname is Dongfang, and in the end he gave Wen Guo a lot of benefits.But it's the Ming country that will gain more benefits, okay?Si Yaohui, Emperor Ming who is currently on the throne, is Beitang Yaoyue's second elder brother!
However, Beitang Yaoyue has been married to Wen Guo for more than 20 years, and she has always followed the rules. She has never done anything wrong to the young prince. The emperor is still very satisfied with this "brother and sister".In particular, Beitang Yaoyue gave birth to five sons for the young prince, and the emperor even snatched one into the palace to become the prince, and he was impeccable towards him.
Putao is the prince's younger brother and the emperor's nephew, and the emperor also wishes him a good life.However, such a clever and beautiful little county king of the Eastern royal family insisted on rushing to get married... The emperor always felt that his face was dull.
But Dongfang Haoye gave birth to Zhang Qiaozui.He knew his fellow brother all too well.His brother is good in everything, but he has a good face, so he is afraid that he will feel bad, so the little prince tried his best to take pictures of his brother so that he can feel comfortable physically and mentally.It happened that the prince came to pay his respects, and the little prince gave his son a wink. Dongfang Junhe had received the letter early, and immediately understood what his father meant, and played the side drums leisurely beside him.
The emperor loves the crown prince very much, although it is not better than parent-child, Dongfang Junhe is really reliable in speaking and doing things, and has the talent of a wise king.
With the duo's fooling around, the emperor finally let go, and bestowed on Putao the title he had chosen earlier.Dongfang Junhe also took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to choose the best piece of fiefdom for Putao—he directly took the geographical mountain and river map of Wenguo in the imperial study to let the emperor choose. (Niu, the Emperor's own son is nothing more than being named king)
Dongfang Haoye went home happily, and after telling the story, Putao heard that Uncle Huang would bestow the marriage in person, she was so beautiful from ear to ear, her arms crookedly hugging her father.
Dongfang Haoye said: "The prince has made great efforts in this matter, next time I enter the palace, I will thank you brother prince, do you understand?"
"I know, I know. There are big brothers and second brothers, I will never forget them." Putao is not a fool. After calming down and thinking about it these days, I will recall it, especially Qi Hengcheng's behavior at that time was too weird. He didn't believe that there was no conspiracy in it.But in the end, he and Tang Zhengyan were fulfilled, so he didn't care about that idiot Qi Hengcheng anymore. Anyway, it was the eldest brother and the second brother who owed favors, not him.
Putao is under house arrest at home, and Tang Zhengyan misses it day and night.Especially since he had just tasted the taste of lust, he was really a little "sleepy alone" at night.
In the past few days, he has learned how to sew a few times from the embroiderer at home, but who knows that he is really not this kind of material, and the things he sew are ugly.Fortunately, Beitang Yaoyue just wanted to punish him, find something for him to do to save money, and didn't expect him to really make a wedding dress for herself.
However, the grapes almost pierced ten fingers, and finally sewed out a crooked purse, which was embroidered with bunches of chubby purple grapes.He happily let Xiao Zhuzi sneak out over the wall and over the yard to give to Tang Zhengyan.Inside was a love letter.
Putao's love letter is very father-like.When Tang Zhengyan saw it, he was so sour that he almost spit out his breakfast.
I love Qingqing (the four words of Qibi made Tang Zhengyan shudder):
Not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns.Gentleman is a gentleman.poo.The long night is long, tossing and turning. ......
(Probably because he felt that poetry was not enough to describe his feelings, Putao changed his pen and began to write a love letter in vernacular) Brother Tang, I miss you so much.Your handsome face is in front of my eyes when I look at the sun during the day, and your smiling face at the bedside is still in front of my eyes at night.I miss you all the time, do you miss me?Life is so sad without you by my side.My father forbids me to go out, so I can only let Xiao Zhuzi secretly deliver letters to you.It took me several days to sew this purse. It must be worn close to your body, not to be too ugly.It is a piece of my heart, a piece of emotion, all my love for you.I wear the betrothal gift you gave me on my wrist every day, and I will wait for you to marry me after your palace test is over.
Putao wrote a whole page long and hard, and the final signature was "I miss you, miss you, hope you love you, the little grape who likes you the most in the world—Oriental Palace".
Tang Zhengyan could see that the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes were smiling, and he felt that his heart was full, warm, and full of affection.
It was the first time in Tang Zhengyan's life that he received a love letter, and it was such a straightforward and enthusiastic love letter. Although it was disgusting to read, he was filled with joy.He thought for a while, went back to the house, suppressed his blushing, and wrote a reply letter for Xiao Zhuzi to take back quietly.
Putao took Tang Zhengyan's reply letter, her face was flushed, and the corner of her mouth was pursed into a smile. She couldn't hide her joy no matter what, and he didn't want to hide it at all.
Tang Zhengyan's literary talents were countless times better than his, but Tang Zhengyan was always serious, and he had never written a love letter. It was his first time to write a pen, and he only wrote a few words, but it was full of affection.
"My heart is the same. Qin Jin is kind, and I miss it. Wang Qing takes care of his body, and he will never be burdened in this life."
Putao is so beautiful. Every day, she lies on the window, poking her chin in a daze, waiting for Tang Zhengyan to propose marriage.
Tang Zhengyan really lived up to expectations, and was appointed by the emperor as Tanhua during the palace examination.
In fact, it was also because Tang Zhengyan had registered with the emperor.The future niece and son-in-law always want to win more prizes, not to mention that Tang Zhengyan is really talented, he writes well, and he is not stage frightened in the palace examination. He has something to say and a lot of knowledge.
Seeing his handsome face, young and talented, the emperor nodded secretly, appreciating his gaze on Putao, and with a wave of his hand, he named Tang Zhengyan as Tanhua.
It was such a joy.The little prince was very happy, and urged his emperor brother to give an order to give him a marriage, so that such a good son-in-law should not be snatched away by others.However, those in the capital who dare to rob Prince Jing of their son-in-law may not have been born yet.
The emperor felt helpless about his younger brother's eagerness to marry his son.He was just a girl, and when she got married, she was so reluctant. Even though she was married to her own family, her heart still twitched.His younger brother is fine, a good son can't wait to get married, could it be that the son is worthless after raising too many?Depend on!I want to raise so many sons!
Regardless of the entanglement in the emperor's heart, the imperial decree to grant marriage was released.The hype written on it made Linjiang Junwang Dongfang Junting like a flower, and Tang Zhengyan also praised it. It was really a match made in heaven.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, many eyes were dropped in Chaozhong.
The sexual orientation of Dongfang Junting, the king of Linjiang County, is not a big secret in the court. Besides, it is not surprising that his son is so masculine with a father like Prince Jing as a role model.It's just that the emperor bestowed a marriage with such a great fanfare, which still made a group of people sigh, and they also explored a little more about Tang Zhengyan, a newly released teaser.After all, Tang Zhengyan was unknown before, and he only made a splash in the palace examination. Although he was talented, he came from a poor family. He was worthy of the king of Linjiang County, but his status was a bit low.
But the emperor personally made the decree, and seeing Prince Jing's joyful look, everyone was very cute, and became kind to Tang Zhengyan, not daring to underestimate him.
Putao accepted the imperial decree, it was so beautiful, and immediately urged his father to make a small order for him.Rao Dongfang Haoye is so eager to love the girl, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I have to wait for the man to bring up the little ceremony, what's the use of urging the father? Just wait and see the boy's actions."
Putao said: "Father, don't tease me. Brother Tang's family has no elders, and Zhang Luo's matter may be difficult. Please help him, don't make things difficult for him."
Dongfang Haoye poked his son's bright forehead, and said displeasedly: "The boy is not allowed to stay, and he is devoted to outsiders. Don't worry, your brother Tang is not such an incompetent person, let's just wait, he won't Let you down."
Dongfang Haoye was still very accurate in judging people, Tang Zhengyan was really capable, and even persuaded Prime Minister Li Haicheng's wife to help him make a small order.
