When Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua back to his hometown, Li Yuhua talked about it all the way, from Du Changshi to Chen Jian, from Yao Xu to Li Erlang, and finally to General Lin.
Li Yuhua said, "If Xiaobao hadn't explained to me later that General Lin had good intentions, I really wouldn't have seen that General Lin wanted to give advice to Du Changshi. This is really a weirdo. He was doing good things, but if Du Changshi
If you are a bit narrow-minded, even if you accept his advice, you will still remember the slap."
"Du Changshi is not that kind of person," Mu An said, "I will go back to my home later and send someone to deliver some ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood clots to Du Changshi."
"I know." Li Yuhua sighed, "In terms of appearance and martial arts, Mr. Du Changshi and Mr. Chen are the first. I wonder which one Sister Jiayue has chosen?"
Mu Anzhi had already known from Li Yuhua that Empress Dowager Lan and Emperor Mu Xuan were attracted by the Yao family. He couldn't help but said, "What a pity that Yao Xu is so gentle. I wonder if he can withstand Jiaxiang's temper."
Li Yuhua said, "Princess Jiaxiang's temperament means she likes the people she likes very much. As long as the princess can fall in love with Mr. Yao, she won't have to worry about a bad life."
Princess Jiaxiang's marriage was arranged by the East Palace and Fengyi Palace. Princess Jiayue has always been sensible, and whichever family she marries into will be a blessing to that family.
The two of them talked for a while, then went back home to have a meal and rest.
Du Changshi returned home with a pig-headed face. He was lying down and letting the servants apply medicine to him. He closed his eyes and said, "If my appearance is ruined, what will happen if we get married in the future? What will we do if we get a wife? Ouch, ouch, ouch,
I said you should be gentler!"
When Du Changshi opened his eyes in pain, he saw that his eldest brother, Shangshu, was applying ointment on his face with cotton gauze. At that time, he screamed in fright and was about to jump up. Du Shangshu pressed Du Changshi's shoulder, and Du Changshi
Shi then fell back on the couch and screamed even more miserably, "I told you to be gentle! Have you always been jealous of my handsomeness and came to do evil things!"
In the midst of Du Changshi's cries of ghosts and wolf howls, he finally finished applying the medicine.
The boy Wan Yue brought warm water. Du Shangshu washed his hands and put the towel aside. Du Changshi looked in the mirror and said to Wan Yue, "Go and write me a note asking for leave."
Wan Yue responded and went down to do some work. Du Changshi leaned on the couch, rubbed his face, and said to Du Shang, "Don't worry, I heard that your Majesty is interested in the fifth son of the Yao family, the legitimate princess."
Du Shan wrote, "I heard that you asked someone to beat you into a pig's head. I came over to watch the fun."
Du Changshi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Is it extra honorable for me to ask someone to beat you?"
Under the candlelight, Du Shang's face was stern, "Three of them, except for Chen Juren, whose martial arts are somewhat mediocre, are not great masters. You didn't ask him to fight like this, did you?"
"No. I competed with General Lin Cheng." Du Changshi told Du Shangshu about the competition with Lin Cheng in detail, "In the past, he was said to be the best master of the imperial guards. I thought it was mostly a lie.
General Lin's reputation is flattered by others, he is really a master among masters, don't let the imperial guards, even the whole emperor, have higher martial arts skills than him."
As he spoke, Du Changshi waved his hand gently towards the candlestick beside him, and a blast of wind passed by. The heart of the candle jumped, and the flame fell down to the candlestick. The small flame struggled to beat twice and then went out silently.
A candlestick went out, and the light in the room became slightly darker. Du Shangshu looked away from the candlestick and raised his long eyebrows, "This pig-headed face is not in vain."
"I often hear that General Lin has many suggestions for his subordinates and juniors. He is indeed very impressive." Once Du Changshi became enlightened, his martial arts progressed greatly, and he was very happy.
Du Shangshu asked, "Are you a subordinate or a junior?"
Du Changshi was stunned, "We're not enemies after all, right?"
"I have never had any friendship with the military commander, and you must have no friendship with him either. If your martial arts are just ordinary and he gives you some advice, your progress will be limited. Now that you have made a breakthrough, you are not far from the state of perfection. At this step, many people
You will never be able to get there in your lifetime. If you think about it carefully, why would he help you?"
Du Changshi rubbed his relatively smooth chin and looked at his elder brother solemnly. Du Shangshu looked at him with an extremely serious look. Du Changshi looked puzzled and serious, "Is it because of this young master?"
With unrivaled beauty, General Lin is astonished!"
Du Shangshu's fingers trembled, and he endured it again and again before he slapped this scourge to death!
Du Changshi advised his eldest brother, "You don't care what he thinks. I didn't ask him to teach me. I just wanted to use him as a whetstone to practice. Anyway, I don't care about this as a favor. If he lets me know in the future,
If I want to repay this favor, you have to give me three slaps in return."
Du Shangshu lamented, "I've really been overthinking it." With this bastard's shamelessness, it would be very difficult to take advantage of him. Du Changshang said sincerely, "I feel relieved that you are so shameless."
"Hey!" Du Changshi was dissatisfied, "Is this what the elder brother said? Do you want me to learn from you how to praise me outside?"
"Thank you, I really don't need it." Du Shangshu stood up to leave.
Du Changshi pulled his sleeve and asked, "Brother, have you brought me anything delicious?"
Du Shangshu looked at him and said, "What great achievements have you made that I want to bring you delicious food?"
Du Changshi threw off Du Shangshu's sleeves and said angrily, "You know how to plant spies here! Don't you know how to bring some gifts when you come to see me?"
I didn’t bring anything, so I came empty-handed!
There is such a brother in the world!
Du Shangshu raised his palm and said, "I'll give you two slaps, do you want it?"
Du Changshixin said, I have made great progress now, and I am not sure who will win or lose!
Du Shangshu saw through his thoughts, narrowed his eyes and asked him, "How about you compete with me?"
"Whatever you say, look, brother, it's a good thing that you were born as a scholar, a first-class scholar, and you have to fight and kill every time. It's a good thing that you didn't become a general." Du Changshi still didn't dare to provoke his eldest brother, so he had to treat him respectfully.
After sending the person away, he called for Wan Yue and said, "Go to the Taiping Tower and ask for a banquet. Let me warm up a pot of fine pear blossom white."
Wan Yue dutifully showed the leave note to Du Changshi, put a new candle on the candlestick, and said, "The uncle just gave me an order, saying that your face is seriously injured. You should eat less meat and fish, cook in the kitchen, and use autumn oil."
You are not allowed to let it go. Once you look good, it will not be too late to eat and drink as much as you want."
Du Changshi was angry and asked the boy who had grown up with him since childhood, "Wan Yue, are you mine or my elder brother's?"
Wan Yue was also very depressed, "When I left, I said that I would send my father to take care of me. He said that I was not capable of doing my job."
Du Changshi was shocked, "You can't even do a detailed job, and yet you arranged for your father to come over!"
Wan Yue tried her best to say, "My heart goes to the young master, and I have never reported anything to you that the young master did not want me to say."
Du Changshi patted Wan Yue on the shoulder, "I knew you were a good brother!"
Wan Yue's father is Du Shangshu's confidant and is in charge of everything in the house. Because Wan Yue is similar in age to Du Changshi, he was chosen as his playmate when he was young.
He got up and slept with Du Changshi. They were playmates when he was young. When he got older, when Du Changshi studied, he also followed him. When Du Changshi studied martial arts, he also followed him. However, he was not as talented as Du Changshi and sometimes he couldn't keep up with the progress.
, Du Changshi still wanted to give him tutoring, and the reason was: Wan Yue was too stupid to embarrass him!
So Wan Yue could still write a note to Du Changshi, which earned Du Changshi's trust.
Chen Jian also received a lot of care from her parents when she returned home, because since Chen Jian was selected as the consort, Tang Mo often informed the Chen family. Because he was familiar with the two princesses, Tang Mo was very optimistic about Chen Jian and Princess Shang Jiayue.
The Chen family is also happy to accept this marriage. After all, Princess Jiayue is known to have a gentle temperament. What's more, the court has always been eclectic in the appointment of the consort's relatives.
Faced with her parents' inquiries, Chen Jian simply said, "Your Majesty took the test today. I am not as good as Du Changshi in writing, and I am not as good as Du Changshi in martial arts."
Mrs. Chen was surprised, "Is there anyone more outstanding than my son?"
Chen Jian: Did your mother get this confidence from that guy Tang Mo?
Yao Xu came home with a beaming face. The Yao family thought Emperor Mu Xuan had granted him a marriage in court. Mrs. Yao smiled and pulled him to the old lady, "Looking at the smile on his face, I have something happy to tell the old lady."
Old Mrs. Yao is in her eighties, with silver hair, but she is neither deaf nor blind, and she is still energetic. Seeing her great-grandson so happy, she couldn't help but smile, "How happy I am."
"Yes! Your Majesty has said that I will be allowed to go in and out of the palace at will!" Yao Xu said happily about the great news.
Mrs. Yao was still waiting to hear what was going on, but after saying this, Yao Xu brought warm water to drink without any intention of speaking again. Mrs. Yao asked, "What did you do on the day you entered the palace today?"
Yao Xudao said, "Test the civil and military exams in the morning and martial arts exams in the afternoon."
Mrs. Yao continued to ask, "How did you do in the exam?"
Yao Xu took a piece of rose snow fungus cake and took a bite, "There are many masters. Master Du and Chen Juren are the best in the article. I am similar to Mr. Li. I am ranked last in martial arts."
Mrs. Yao was a little worried, but Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "Just try your best. Ah Xu is hungry. Ask the cook. If dinner is ready, it will be served earlier."
Mrs. Yao should be fine, don’t mention the arrangements.
After dinner, Mrs. Yao was worried and went to her youngest son's room to ask in person. Yao Xu went to bed early at night. When his mother came over, he had just finished bathing and was sitting on the bed in single clothes. When his mother came over, Yao Xu got up.
They greeted each other. Mrs. Yao held his hand and walked into the house, "Don't catch the wind. The wind at night is still cool."
"It's already summer." Yao Xu knew his mother's intention, so he waited for his mother to ask.
Mrs. Yao said, "I have been very close to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother several times since I have been in the palace. This marriage must be left to God's will, but if it can happen, it will be a beautiful thing."
Yao Xudao, "If it's Princess Jiaxiang, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty gave us a meal at noon. Princess Jiaxiang glanced at the four of us. She spent a little longer looking at Mr. Du and Chen Juren. Second Young Master Li and I just passed by. Mr. Du likes to sing and dance. Your Majesty has lunch.
When the dance music was passed on, Mr. Du was quite forgetful, and Princess Jiaxiang even frowned, but she looked at Chen Juren more often, but that was all."
Yao Xu openly advised his mother, "All marriages are God's will. If it is mine, it must be mine. If it is not mine, there is no need to force it."
Mrs. Yao smiled. She has five children. All four sons are at the border with her husband. There is only one younger son by her side. This son never likes to practice martial arts, but he is very considerate. Now that his son is older, Mrs. Yao
Naturally, she is worried about her son's marriage. According to Mrs. Yao's opinion, her youngest son is probably not a talented person to fight on the battlefield. Mrs. Yao is very happy that there is a lord in the Forbidden City. Her son will have a title, and she will live a prosperous and peaceful life as a mother.
Only then can you rest assured.
However, even though it didn't work out, Mrs. Yao was slightly disappointed, but it was not too obvious. After all, her family was prosperous, and even if she could not become a princess, it was not difficult to find a good marriage for her youngest son.
The attitude of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is roughly similar to that of the Yao Gongfu. Especially when Li Erlang was transferred from a civil service to a military service, the family was happy for him. After all, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion started with martial arts, and the family favored the military service more than the civil service.
The four consort candidates were all calm, but Emperor Mu Xuan in the palace was a bit dumbfounded. Princess Jiaxiang did not fancy any of them, and Empress Lu did not dare to speak out. She only said that Princess Jiayue was the eldest daughter and let Princess Jiayue choose first.
Concubine Hui asked Emperor Mu Xuan about Lin Cheng. Concubine Hui said softly, "I saw that the general was really powerful that day. If he already has a wife, your majesty just pretends that he has never heard of my concubine. If the general is not married,
, I always feel that Jiaxiang seems to be a stable man that I like."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Qing Lin is quite good. I also think he is very good. Based on his talents, the Lord also makes him. General Lin is almost crazy about getting married to him. I heard that he had a favorite woman when he was young, but
Unfortunately, that woman passed away. Lin Qing was very affectionate and has been alone since then until now."
"He is really a man who values love and justice." Concubine Hui hesitated a little, looked at Emperor Mu Xuan's face and said, "Why don't we forget it."
Emperor Mu Xuan waved his hand, "Jiayue has always been gentle and sensible, and I can't bear to see Lin Qing alone. If this marriage can happen, it will be a good one."
Emperor Mu Xuan did not ask Lin Cheng directly, but asked Lin Cheng's father, General Lin.
