Cancan

After the first lunar month, more and more female relatives came to Wuying's mansion to visit.

They all come to propose marriage.

Zhao Chen said before that his daughter did not consider the marriage before she was fifteen years old, but now it is different. Zhao Cancan is fifteen.

At this time, Zhao Cancan stayed in her house to read books and make flowers sensibly. She either went to Xiyuan to play chess with her grandmother. When the guests left, she went to the front yard to find her mother to listen to the news, or to see a few younger brothers studying and practicing martial arts, and occasionally she would accompany her brothers to stance together. She was the only girl at home, and everyone spoiled her. Almost everything she wanted to learn, she hugged her father's arm and said a few words of coquettishness, and her father agreed.

Today, the fourth grandmother of the Ning family, Ning De's wife, and Zhao Cancan's cousin aunt.

It is related to the big events of my daughter's life. Anyone who comes to propose marriage and she thinks it is not bad, Aju will mention it to her daughter.

Her daughter was not like the daughter of the Marquis's family when she was lively. But when she talked about serious things, her daughter was much better than her back then, and even better than her now. She learned about the twists and turns of wealthy families in the capital, but her daughter was influenced by her since childhood. Many times, Aji couldn't make a decision, and her daughter could easily solve her confusion. Moreover, her daughter knew how to avoid men and women when she grew up. In addition to her younger brothers, the younger brothers of the Li family, Ji family, Ning family, who were one or two years younger than her, she treated her as the elder sister and never had a mess. The Ning family had many members, and in addition to her younger brothers, she also had brothers, especially those in the big house, she even hid.

"Cancan, what do you think of your fifth brother?" Aji called her daughter to her side and asked with her hand. Although she couldn't bear to marry her daughter, she would marry her sooner or later if she was old. She hoped that her daughter would marry her favorite. Ning Wu's court piloted the case last year. She was handsome and had a closer relationship with her daughter since she was a child. She was still good at the young man.

"Fifth brother is pretty good." Zhao Cancan leaned into his mother's arms and whispered, "Fifth brother was nice to me when he was a child, but he was too stubborn and always liked to care about me. Even though he knew he couldn't control it, he still had to talk about it. Afterwards, he had to tell a lot of big truths. Mom, actually, I know what he said was right, and it was for my goodness. I don't disgust my brother to treat me like this, but I don't want to marry such a husband."

Not knowing what she thought of, she burst out laughing, stood up and looked at her mother and said, "And even if I want, my father will definitely refuse. My uncle and grandmother still don't like our family. If I guess correctly, this time my cousin's aunt came to propose marriage, it must be the uncle and grandmother who told me. Maybe she still kept it in the dark."

My daughter was very thoughtful, and Aji pinched her nose: "You are smart. Cancan, what kind of thing do you like? Tell me, my mother, let your father pay more attention. He walked outside and saw many young people." Of course, she knew that Zhao Chen didn't want to marry the Ning family, she just wanted to see if her daughter likes Ning Wu. Her daughter's feelings are what she cares most about.

Zhao Cancan smiled and turned around, leaned his back to his mother's shoulder, looked out the window, and whispered: "What do you like? I like Dad. I can eliminate dissidents in the court in foreign languages, and martial arts can go on the field to kill the enemy and return home, which is very good to Mom. But Dad is too domineering and obedient to Mom... What are you doing if you pinch me?"

"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Aju stared at her daughter with a funny and angrily.

Zhao Cancan snorted, raised his head and asked, "Isn't it? Don't force me to tell you all the scandals."

Aji pretended to hit the little girl, and urged her to say helplessly, "If you don't like domineering people, what kind of people do you like?"

Zhao Cancan laughed: "I prefer my aunt and uncle. My aunt will listen to her any uncle who asks her to be, so the person I like has to listen to me in addition to being capable."

"Then I'll let your father look for it as your uncle?" Aji asked with a smile, "Your father knew that he was not as good as his uncle in his daughter's heart, so he would definitely be sad."

Zhao Cancan shook his head: "No, my uncle has the ability. I listen to my aunt's words, but my uncle is too bored. He doesn't look like my father. He opens his mouth and makes me blush for you." He jumped away halfway through his words, for fear of being attacked by his mother.

Knowing that the couple's whispers were heard by their daughter, Aji's face turned red and she tried to hide it with anger, "Your father is overbearing and disobedient, and your uncle is bored and unable to coax people. You must have the ability. Where do you ask us to find such a god for you?"

Zhao Cancan ran to the door and turned his head to smile at his mother: "If you can't find me, you won't marry me. You'll be filial to you all your life at home."

The little girl ran away carefreely, but Aju was worried.

After the couple rested in the evening, Aju told her daughter about her preference for choosing a son-in-law.

She had no choice, but a boy immediately appeared in Zhao Chen's mind.

Tang Rui is capable. Although he is only fifteen now, he is highly valued by Emperor Ding'an. In the royal family, father and son are more cautious about each other. Tang Rui can never lose his holy heart. In addition to the emperor, he is the only prince who has become a weapon, it must also be related to his own scheming methods. He is Tang Rui's master, and no matter how unwilling to admit it, he must say that Tang Rui is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people.

As for coaxing people, they all coaxed his daughter to lie to him, a brat...

Zhao Chen was so angry that he thought that Tang Rui might have spoken sweetly to his daughter.

"We can't find such a better person. We will raise our daughter for the rest of our lives." Too lazy to think about those troubles, Zhao Chen hugged his wife and started to act crazy.

"I know you can't bear to leave Cancan, and I can't bear to leave either, but she's fifteen, so we should make a reservation for her. You can take a closer look outside." After so many years, Aju can easily judge his mood from Zhao Chen's actions. She gently comforted her husband, "Why don't we have another daughter..."

"If you don't have a child, you will have to be snatched away in the end!" Zhao Chen turned around angrily.

He was unreasonable, and Aji was also angry and turned to the other side: "It's so ugly. Why didn't you think my father would be reluctant to leave me when you rob me? No matter how good you are to Cancan, you can't live with her for the rest of your life. As soon as possible, the couple will live a sweet life in the future. Besides, can Cancan marry you not be your daughter, and you will never be able to see her again? You can't bear to marry your daughter, and your three sons will still rob someone else's daughter in the future. Can you tell me some reason?"

Zhao Chen only let out a cold snort.

He can steal other people's things, but he doesn't like being robbed.

His daughter is smart, lively, well-behaved, sensible, cute and beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and no one can deserve it.

The man said no, and Aju thought of her daughter saying during the day that she was being cleaned up by Zhao Chen, and somehow a fire broke out in her chest, and she lifted the quilt and had to wear clothes.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Chen immediately sat up.

"I'll go to Cancan to sleep with her." Aji said concisely.

Zhao Chen refused to let her go, so he reached out and pressed the person back into the quilt and hugged him tightly: "Don't make trouble."

Aji turned his head and said, "Who made a fuss with you? Cancan is my daughter and my most precious daughter. Then I should guard her every day and let her be with me. What a man is? No man is worthy of my daughter, and no one is worthy of me. We should live with each other. Let us go back to our parents' home together and be filial to my father together."

"Aji..." Zhao Chen had no choice but to bury it in his wife's arms and apologize: "I know it's wrong. Don't worry, I will find a good son-in-law for Cancan tomorrow."

"Really?" Aji asked in disbelief.

Zhao Chen nodded in a muffled voice: "Cancan likes it the most important thing." He always knew that he just couldn't bear to leave his family. Cancan's family was so good. When he was a child, he would hold him and call him dad and say he would blow his back and shoulders when he grew up. He couldn't bear to leave his daughter to leave this family.

The little shirt on his chest was wet with the man's tears. Aji slowly rubbed it down and touched his forehead and told him: "No matter how good my father is to me, I like to be with you more."

Zhao Chen was amused and crying: "I am very content with my father-in-law, but when I think about the fact that I will be compared by others in my daughter's heart, I hold my breath."

"I'm holding my breath like this?" Aji pushed him aside and then turned over and sat on his waist.

Zhao Chen was stunned and noticed his wife's actions in the darkness, and he stopped holding his breath...

Not long after February, Tang Rui was about to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Grand Tutor.

This day, I practiced riding and shooting. There were only two masters and apprentices in the center of the huge training ground. Before shooting the last one on the horse's back, Tang Rui turned over and got off the horse and walked towards Zhao Chen: "Tao Fu, I have something to ask for."

"Say." Zhao Chen's expression was faint.

Tang Rui has always respected his grand tutor, but he just respected him. He was not afraid of getting along with each other on weekdays, but today he was a little scared, but he still asked calmly: "I remember the grand tutor threatened that Miss Zhao would not talk about marriage before the fifteenth, but Miss Zhao was already fifteenth this year. I heard that there were endless people coming to propose marriage. Is there anyone who chose the grand tutor?"

Zhao Chen lowered his eyes to him: "The prince has something to say."

The man's eyes were cold, as if he had seen through his heart. Tang Rui was nervously sweating on his back, calm down for a moment, and looked up sincerely: "My mother will hold a banquet to entertain the ladies and girls of various provinces to appreciate the flowers, and at the same time, she has appointed a crown princess for me. Tang Rui likes Miss Zhao for many years and dares to ask the Grand Tutor to fulfill his wishes, so he will let Master Zhao bring Miss Zhao into the palace."

The queen mother can post, but if Zhao Chen does not agree with him marrying Cancan, she will never let Cancan participate in this peony feast with obvious purpose.

Zhao Chen had expected this conversation to happen, but he did not agree or refuse directly, but said to the direction of Chongzheng Palace: "The emperor and the queen choose a concubine for the prince. Even if the daughter of the minister enters the palace, it may not be the eyes of the emperor. As the crown prince, please think twice before doing anything."

Tang Rui answered calmly: "Don't worry, the grand tutor, my father and mother have agreed to me, and I will choose the crown princess by myself. I was not feeling well the year before yesterday, and I believe the grand tutor has heard of it. This time, the father wanted to choose another concubine for me, but Tang Rui has declined, and he can guarantee that there will be the crown princess by his side in the future."

The young man came prepared, and Zhao Chen also waited for a long time, turned to look at him and said regretfully: "The prince is sincere, and I am flattered. However, my daughter has been favored by me since childhood and has become arrogant. Even if she is a princess, she is not suitable for the mother to be in the world, and the harem is three palaces and six courtyards..."

Tang Rui interrupted him with a smile: "The Grand Tutor does not need to be tested. Tang Rui admires the deep love between the Grand Tutor and his master's wife the most, and wants to treat Cancan the same. Vows and promises are all false words. Tang Rui does not pay much attention to him. He only asks the Grand Tutor to give Tang Rui a chance to prove himself, proving that in this world, there are others who are willing to favor their wives as life."

Zhao Chen was silent.

Tang Rui bowed and left.

If Zhao Chen had a good candidate, the marriage would have been decided long ago. He didn't blame Zhao Chen for his high gaze, because Cancan was really good, only he, the identity of the future mother of the country, was worthy of it.

~

On the tenth day of April, the queen invited the ladies and ladies from all the prefectures in the capital to come to the palace to admire the peonies.

Zhao Cancan also wants to go with his mother.

Zhao Chen kept sending his daughter to the carriage. When Zhao Cancan was about to get on the carriage, he couldn't help but stop his daughter, "Do you just believe him so much?"

Zhao Cancan looked at his mother who was standing on his father's side and was like a world-famous person. He smiled and asked, "When Dad asked my mother to marry you, he must have said a lot of good things. Did Dad say the truth or coax my mother?"

Zhao Chen knew what his daughter meant, and explained helplessly: "I am different from him. I must be true to your mother, he..."

"What he said is true." Zhao Cancan turned around and put down the curtain and smiled sly at his father: "Dad, don't worry, anyone who is so easy to deceive can tell that you are telling the truth. I am as smart as my father, how could I be deceived by someone in a few words?"

That guy Tang Rui has been sticking to her pitifully since she was a child. When she looked at others for a moment, he would be sulky. She smiled at him, and he immediately smiled like a fool again. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is the prince and the future emperor, and in her eyes, Tang Rui is always the stupid brother who is easily influenced by her.

My father is so cunning and domineering, and my mother can hold on to her father's heart. Would she not be able to see a fool?

Soon, at the peony feast, Zhao Cancan walked slowly towards his mother in a red dress, with a beautiful appearance, better than the peonies in the garden.
