"What's going on?" Taifu Su's laughing voice came from the other side of the garden. Xie Cheng looked up and saw his Taifu leading people walking this way.
There is no royal uncle!
Xie Cheng's eyes lit up, he pulled Su Xun and Young Master Jiang to the left and right, and rushed towards the Taifu.
"Your Majesty." The shadow appeared in front of him silently, "Please be careful, the garden is being renovated, so don't walk quickly."
Xie Cheng looked at him a little depressed: I can't cross the bridge, I'm just waiting for the master at the end of the bridge.
The shadows were silent.
Your Majesty, haven't you ever thought that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent might be watching you nearby?
This was obviously not what a six or seven-year-old child should have thought about, so Xie Cheng simply walked around the overlapping shadow and walked towards the bridge, but his pace slowed down a lot.
Behind them, Zhu Ai was still crying.
It just went from crying to sobbing.
Gee, I can really cry.
This is the consensus of everyone present.
"Taifu." Xie Cheng stood at the end of the bridge eagerly waiting for his Taifu to come over.
"Your Majesty." Behind Taifu Su was Luo Jinxing. Xie Cheng had met Luo Jinxing, but he didn't remember it well, "You are..."
"Last General Luo Jinxing, I have met Your Majesty!" Luo Jinxing bowed and saluted.
Hearing the word "Luo", Xie Cheng immediately remembered, "You are the son of General Luo and my aunt's brother!"
Luo Jinxing smiled, "Exactly."
Xie Cheng's voice was clear and crisp, "General Luo fought for the country and was a great contributor to my great success. There is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Jinxing thought this little emperor was quite cute.
Taifu Su also stood aside and watched with a smile. After they finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, what happened just now? Why are you still crying? Does your Majesty have someone you like?"
Xie Cheng curled his lips and said, "That's my cousin. He loves to cry. Don't worry about him. Tutor, can A Cheng really choose his own reading companion?"
Taifu Su smiled and said: "It's natural. The regent specially invited so many young masters to come together today, isn't it just for your majesty to see for yourself?"
Xie Cheng immediately became happy after receiving Taifu's approval.
Although he is the emperor, he has rarely been able to make his own decisions since he was a child. Even if he eats more food and walks more steps, someone will take care of him. Now the emperor's uncle and the Taifu both say that he can make his own decisions, even if his mother is not happy.
You won’t object, right?
Taifu Su's family was full of children and grandchildren, and it was impossible not to see the little emperor's thoughts, and he felt a little sad for a moment.
Taifu Su touched his white beard and said with a smile: "Has your Majesty already chosen someone?"
Xie Cheng nodded repeatedly, turned around and pulled Su Xun and Young Master Jiang and said, "Master, I choose them."
"Does Your Majesty know who they are?" Taifu Su asked with a smile.
Xie Cheng blinked and then remembered that he had not asked the names of these two friends.
"Su Xun of the Su family has met Your Majesty." Su Xun said respectfully. Seeing that Xie Cheng was still looking at him, he added, "The master is my great-grandfather."
Xie Cheng turned around to see Taifu Su. Taifu Su chuckled and said, "Axuan is indeed the great-grandson of the old minister."
Xie Cheng was very happy, "The Taifu is Ah Cheng's Taifu and Ah Xun's great-grandfather..."
Everyone looked at him in horror: What do you want to say, Your Majesty?
In fact, they were overthinking it. Xie Cheng didn't want to say anything, but said happily: "We are all our own people. Well, I will choose him! Uh..."
Everyone's eyes fell on Young Master Jiang. This young Master was only eight years old, but he was already tall and straight, with quite a calm aura.
He bowed respectfully and said clearly, "Jiang Che, the Marquis of Yueyang, has met His Majesty, Grand Tutor."
Xie Cheng said: "Master, now we know each other."
Taifu Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty needs four companions, and these are only two."
Xie Cheng frowned slightly, looked back at the group of children and thought for a moment, then turned around and ran over, pulling out two more children from the group of children.
A chubby little fat man and a skinny little black monkey.
Taifu Su looked down at Xie Cheng, who was dragging two children over, and said with a smile: "Why did Your Majesty choose these two?"
Xie Cheng said: "They were laughing at my cousin with me just now!"
Is this an advantage?
Su Xun glanced at the little fat man. Not only did he smile just now, he was the most exaggerated smile among so many people.
The little fat man didn’t expect that he was just watching a joke, so how could he be chosen by His Majesty?
Didn't his grandfather and father say that it was enough to just go through the motions?
Taifu Su looked at the children in front of him with a gentle smile, "Who are these two young masters?"
The little fat man said: "I...my father is the eldest son of Duke Chengguo, and my name is Zheng Congfeng."
"..." With your size, I'm afraid the average wind won't be able to blow you up.
The little black monkey said: "My name is Wang Ze, and my father is Wang Ying, the Minister of Rites."
"..." The Minister of Rites looked like a young man with a beautiful face back then, and even now he is an elegant man with a beautiful beard and a graceful demeanor. Why would he raise his children like this?
Taifu Su shook his head, feeling that he understood the younger generation less and less.
Then he looked at his great-grandson and nodded with satisfaction.
This is what a normal disciple of the famous Shangyong family looks like.
However, I have to say that His Majesty's vision is quite accurate. Not to mention his family background, everything else he pulled out is quite outstanding.
"Taifu, can you?" Xie Cheng raised his head and looked at Taifu Su eagerly.
Taifu Su stretched out his hand to touch his little head and said with a smile: "Okay."
"Thank you, Master!" Xie Cheng was very happy.
Taifu Su smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has selected the companions, let's take them to see the Regent."
Xie Cheng obediently agreed and looked back at the remaining children not far away, "Master, they..."
Taifu Su said: "Leave this place to the old minister."
"Thank you, Master!" Xie Cheng was overjoyed. He finally got rid of his annoying cousin.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the emperor and his aunt."
As soon as these words came out, Su Xun was relatively calm. Jiang Che and Wang Ze looked at each other and said nothing. But the little fat man Zheng Congfeng was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
Taifu Su ignored them and walked towards where the children were with a smile, "Second Young Master Luo, please take them to see the Regent."
"Yes, Taifu."
"He...what's wrong with him?" Xie Cheng looked at the three friends with some confusion. Did he...did he choose the wrong person?
Su Xun raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "It's your first time to meet His Highness the Regent. Are you too excited?"
"Well, I'm so excited." Wang Ze nodded and confirmed.
Jiang Che looked at the two of them and decided to shut up.
This little fat man was so "excited" that he almost died.
The little fat man glanced at his friend sadly and whispered: "Wow, I heard what you just said, the regent wants to eat children. I am so fat... he will definitely eat me first!" After that, he returned.
He glanced at the little black monkey Wang Ze with envy.
"..."
Several children finally coaxed the little fat man into believing that children were not included in the Regent's diet, and then they followed Luo Jinxing to see Xie Yan.
Luo Jinxing followed a few children all the way, listening to them enlighten the little fat man with their words and glances. Even though it was funny, he couldn't help but feel the veins on his forehead twitching.
What kind of reputation does his future brother-in-law have? He won't even come out to eat children.
"Uncle Emperor, little aunt." Luo Jinxing led a few children to the water pavilion on the other side of the garden, where Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were sitting and talking.
"I have met the regent and the princess." Su Xun said.
The other three children immediately followed up, "I've met the regent and the princess."
It's just that the little fat man's voice still sounded a bit crying.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't scare them.
Xie Yan looked at Xie Cheng and said, "A Cheng, these four are your future companions?"
Xie Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, uncle. This is Su Xun, he is the great-grandson of Taifu. This is Jiang Che..." Xie Cheng has a good memory, and he even remembered the identities of the four friends after hearing it once.
not bad.
Xie Yan looked at the four children carefully. Needless to say, Su Xuan had booked them in advance. Jiang Che and Wang Ze were also pretty good. They were tall and straight at a young age with clear eyes. But...
Xie Cheng's eyes fell on the face of the little fat man Zheng Congfeng.
The little fat man was originally afraid of Xie Yan. When he saw him, he immediately stiffened and did not dare to move. Tears began to well up in his eyes again.
"Uncle Emperor..." Xie Cheng also noticed the little fat man's fear, and quietly moved himself in front of Xie Yan, trying to block the little fat man with his body.
It's just that he forgot that despite his height, Xie Yan was still much taller than him when he was sitting. How could he block him?
Xie Yan smiled and looked away casually.
He reached out and rubbed Xie Cheng's head and said, "Since A Cheng likes it, then so be it."
"Thank you, uncle!" Xie Cheng said crisply.
Xie Yan said: "In the future, you will have them study and practice martial arts with you. Even though you have playmates, you can't delay your studies. Do you understand?"
Xie Cheng nodded seriously and said: "Acheng understands, little aunt..."
Luo Junyao smiled and pinched Xie Cheng's little face and said: "These young masters will be A Cheng's reading companions and partners from now on. A Cheng will not be alone in the future, and we must get along well with each other."
"Uh-huh."
Next to him, Feng Jian came over carrying a tray with four jade pendants in it.
Luo Junyao gave four jade pendants to the four children respectively, and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift from the regent to everyone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four children were very happy holding the jade pendant. Even the little fat man temporarily forgot about the terrifying legend about the Regent.
"Little aunt..." Xie Cheng asked somewhat depressedly, why do all the children have gifts, but he doesn't?
Luo Junyao looked at his aggrieved little face and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Of course Ah Cheng is there too, how could he forget Ah Cheng? Look."
Luo Jun raised his right hand and took out another jade pendant from nowhere. It was similar in texture, shape and size to the other four jade pendants, except that the pattern engraved on it was a dragon, and the word "Cheng" was engraved on it.
There are no words engraved on the jade pendants of several children, but the places where the words are engraved are left blank. There are also silk ribbons that tie the jade pendants. The other four pieces are all light blue, and Xie Cheng's piece is bright yellow.
"Thank you, little aunt!" Xie Cheng happily took the jade pendant, looked at it very dearly, and then hung it on himself carefully.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Very good, very suitable for Ah Cheng. Let's take the children to play."
"Yes, little aunt."
Several children bid farewell to Xie Yan in unison, and then ran away with Xie Cheng.
Luo Jinxing was worried that something would happen to the children running around in the garden, so he had to follow them again.
"..." Why does he feel like he is here specially to take care of the child?
Looking at the back of his second brother leaving with five children, Luo Junyao inexplicably thought of the mother chicken protecting a group of chicks, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xie Yan looked at her sideways, "What are you laughing at?"
Luo Junyao shook his head quickly, "Nothing, this... is it too casual to choose a reading companion?"
Xie Yan said: "Those who can be sent to the Regent's Palace have already been screened. Besides, they are all seven or eight-year-old children. If there is a big difference in ability and knowledge, it will not matter. When we get here, it is natural to see what A Cheng likes.
who."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Yes. Is the Zhu family child really okay?"
"The master will take care of it."
"That's good."
Xie Yan stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Luo Junyao up, "The wedding is too urgent. Yaoyao come with me to see what areas of the garden need to be renovated?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Okay, but I see that many places in the yard are being modified. Is it too late?"
"It's just a slight modification to the decoration. If there's anything I'm not satisfied with, I'll have to wait until Yao Yao gets married before slowly changing it." Xie Yan apologized a little, "I've wronged you."
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "No, I think it's pretty good. It's good to change it slowly by yourself. I can change it at will in the future, right?"
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Of course, from now on Yaoyao will be the mistress of the Regent's Palace. No matter how you want to change, I will listen to you."
"That's good." Luo Junyao was very satisfied.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Jinxing was exhausted mentally and physically by several children. Finally, the four children were married home by their respective elders. Xie Cheng was also sent back to the palace. Luo Jinxing
Then he went home with Luo Junyao looking sad.
Luo Junyao and Xie Yan had a great time walking around the garden all afternoon, while Luo Jinxing was exhausted from walking around the yard with a few children.
It turns out that there is something more tiring than rolling in muddy water and fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and that is - playing with five children at the same time.
Second Young Master Luo felt that after this time, he had no idea about his future son at all.
"Second brother, what's going on?" Luo Junyao looked at his second brother in confusion.
Luo Jinxing sighed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking...it would be great if I could only have girls in the future."
Luo Jun shook his eyes and immediately understood what he had suffered.
Sure enough, she said that a group of small mythical beasts were not that easy to take care of.
Being well-behaved in front of His Royal Highness the Regent does not mean that they are all well-behaved. Just look at the appearance of your second brother.
"Thank you for your hard work, second brother." Luo Junyao said seriously, "However, I still want to say..."
"What?" Luo Jinxing asked.
Luo Junyao said: "Even if the second brother wants to have only a daughter, he must first marry me a second sister-in-law, right?"
Luo Jinxing raised his hand and knocked his sister on the head, "Go and persuade the eldest brother first. The eldest brother is not married yet. How can there be any reason for the younger brother to get married first?"
Speaking of eldest brother Luo Junyao, he immediately thought of one thing, "Second brother, does eldest brother have a girl he likes?"
How did Luo Jinxing know this?
"Probably...no? What's wrong?"
Luo Junyao touched his chin and said with a serious expression, "I always feel that... my eldest brother seems to have a sweetheart."
"Huh?" Luo Jinxing opened his eyes wide, "Are you sure?"
Why didn't these people tell him about the family affairs? For a moment, Mr. Luo felt that he was being squeezed out.
"Not sure." Luo Junyao was a little frustrated, "It's just a feeling, a very subtle feeling... Do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Luo Jinxing said, "This is not simple. Can't we find out if we just ask?"
Luo Junyao sighed, shook his head and said, "I won't go. I asked the elder brother but he refused to answer. Even if there is an elder brother, he would definitely be embarrassed to tell me."
"That's right, you are a girl..." Luo Jinxing nodded, thought for a while and said, "I'll ask! Brother will definitely tell me."
Luo Jun shook his eyes and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble my second brother."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it with my second brother." Luo Jinxing geared up with confidence.
So, Luo Junyao squatted in a hidden place outside the gate of Luo Jinxing's courtyard and watched his second brother strut into Luo Jinyan's courtyard.
A quarter of an hour later, Luo Jinxing scurried out in a panic.
Luo Junyao sighed, "It seems... Brother really has someone he likes, otherwise why would he be angry? But... Why didn't Brother refuse to tell us?"
It’s true that a man’s heart is like a needle in the sea.
Once you get busy, time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, there are only two days left for the wedding in the house.
The Luo family is very lively today, with guests coming and going in an endless stream.
Tomorrow is the day when the Luo family delivers dowry to the Regent's Mansion. Today, all the people who have some relationship with the Luo family have come to deliver dowry gifts to Miss Luo.
Luo Junyao was also dressed up carefully early in the morning. He followed the Su family to receive all the female relatives who came to congratulate them, and thanked them one by one for their generous gifts.
After this period of busy work, the Luo family has also prepared the dowry.
When the married women come to give gifts, they also naturally want to look at the bride's dowry, which is called showing off the dowry.
This also shows to the world and the in-laws that the bride’s mother’s family is rich and her daughter’s dowry is generous, so that her husband’s family does not dare to neglect their daughter.
These customs are actually of little use among the people, but many of the rules will always become extremely cumbersome and complicated once they reach a place full of wealth and wealth like the Imperial City.
Luo Junyao is Luo Yun's beloved daughter, so the Luo family is naturally not stingy in preparing a dowry for her.
Not only did Mrs. Luo give her all the dowry of Mrs. Lin and all the betrothal gifts from the Prince Regent's Palace, Mrs. Su also gave her half of her private house over the years. Luo Jinyan and Luo Jinxing brothers were even more merciless.
Not to mention, there is also the dowry prepared by Luo Yun, his biological father, and given by the Empress Dowager.
After looking at the Luo family's dowry list, some people's eyes turned red with envy, and some even turned green.
Luo Junyao's dowry was probably not comparable to Princess Changling's when she got married.
When Luo Junyao married the regent, the princess's dowry specifications were almost the same as those of Princess Changling. The Luo family also stuffed valuable things into it, which was not empty at all. There is nothing to say except that the Luo family really loves their daughter.
.
The people who originally wanted to marry the Luo family are becoming more and more interested. The Luo family is so generous to their daughter, so they will naturally not be stingy when marrying a wife in the future.
It's not that they care about the amount of the betrothal gift, but that such a generous family that doesn't care about money will not be easily offended over money matters when their daughter marries in the future.
There are also many people who are in a bad mood, such as Zhu Jin and Xie Yuan who came with their elders.
Xie Yuan looked at Luo Junyao sitting and joking with Su Ruishen Hongxiu and others from a distance, his eyes turned red with jealousy.
She previously only knew that Luo Junyao was generous, but no matter how generous Luo Junyao was, after all, she was just a little girl. She only had some precious jewelry and playthings sent back by the Luo family and her son, and the cash was so stuck by Su that she could take out thousands or even thousands of taels.
He is already quite wealthy.
It was only now that she truly understood how rich Luo Junyao was.
Although she has the status of a county head, now that King Mu has become the crown prince, her second aunt is in charge of Prince Mu'an's palace. In the future, her dowry will not be comparable to Luo Junyao, even one percent of Luo Junyao's will make her laugh.
Already.
For a time, Xie Yuan fell into deep regret and resentment towards Shen Lingxiang.
If Shen Lingxiang hadn't ruined the marriage between her eldest brother and Luo Junyao, Luo Junyao would have been her sister-in-law.
With such a sister-in-law, when I get married in the future...
On the other side, Zhu Jin also had an ugly face. She was also jealous of Luo Junyao's generous dowry, but what made her even more resentful was that the regent repeatedly rejected the Zhu family but turned around and asked Luo Junyao to marry him.
She is just a yellow-haired girl, is there anything better than herself?
