Chapter 1332 Suspicious(1/2)
Thank you for your favorites and a new update.
The Grand Princess's Mansion in Zhenguo.
Zhang Chao rubbed his back, pedicures, scraped his face and cleaned his ears in the bathhouse, and came here directly after he had a good time.
As soon as they entered the mansion, the three daughters came to hear the sound. They called their father one by one, and the younger daughter even reached out to him for gifts.
"Stir-fried corn seeds are still hot."
Zhang Chao smiled and handed over a pack of dried lotus leaf bags of millet. He stir-fryed it all, and it smelled like a scent.
"Where is your mother?"
"Go to my aunt's house."
"Which aunt?"
"Qi County Prince's Mansion."
Zhang Chao and Pingyang gave birth to three sons and three daughters. The son Eleven Lang Li Cong returned to the Zhang Mansion as a child. But Pingyang has always stayed with these three daughters. The eldest daughter is eleven years old and the younger one is seven years old.
The three golden flowers on the Princess’s Mansion of Zhenguo have attracted many praises. The people who came to propose marriages have stepped on the threshold, but Pingyang did not agree.
"My mother fell in love with her aunt's cousin Huaiyu, and she is going to have a date this time."
The person who spoke was a big girl. The three sisters were all surnamed Li, so they were not ranked according to the Zhang family's seniority.
Emperor Chengqian respected Pingyang's aunt very much and liked her cousins. He specially appointed three cousins as the eldest princesses and gave her fief fief.
The eldest girl Li Lingyue was named Princess Taiping. The second girl Xueyue was named Princess Lanling. The third girl Yingyue was named Princess Yongkang.
Taiping is only 11 years old, but it is indeed the age to get engaged.
Qin Qiong and Princess Changguang, the eldest son Huaiyu, are a few years older than Taiping and are about the same as the children of Zhang Chao's family.
Qin Huaiyu's name was originally given by Zhang Chao, and he also studied under Zhang Chao. Now he is also a handsome young man.
In terms of seniority, Zhang Chao was Qin Qiong's adopted son, and he and Huaiyu were righteous brothers. But from the other side, Pingyang and Changguang were sisters, and Taiping and Huaiyu were cousins.
Basically, those nobles of famous families often have mutual marriages, and sometimes they are not clear about their relatives and are prone to chaos. But as long as they are not blood relatives, their generation can be their own.
Zhang Chao smiled.
"Miss, do you like Huaiyu?"
Ling Yue said shyly, "Cousin Huaiyu is very nice. She often gives me gifts. Last time she gave me a pony and taught me how to play polo."
It seems that this girl likes Huaiyu very much.
Huaiyu is familiar with him, with good tutoring and good background. Qin Qiong has strict tutoring, and Princess Chang Guangchang is also a virtuous person. He often teaches this child when he has time. He usually has a good relationship with the Zhang brothers.
Speaking of which, in Hanjing, the eldest son of the Qin family was indeed praised and favored by many people.
The father and daughter were sitting in the living room, chatting about Huaiyu while peeling candy and stir-fried millet.
The corn seeds are delicious, but the shells are sticky and not easy to peel. Zhang Chao became the person who peeled the shells, which made the Yue San sisters very happy to eat.
Usually, Zhang Chao doesn’t have much time to come here often, and he comes every ten days and half a month.
What made him more gratified was that the girls were very sensible and had already understood why their father didn't live at home. They also understood why their surname was Li and their father's surname was Zhang.
"When you have time, you can also go to Zhang Mansion to play frequently. The sisters and brothers there miss you very much."
"You aunts miss you very much, too." At the end, he added.
"We often go when we have time. We went there a few days ago with our mother."
Pingyang and Thiran Niang are now pretty good. They can meet and talk and laugh, and Thiran Niang often invites her over. However, Pingyang has not been there many times, and it is mainly because Shiyilang and she have never been close to her.
"Have you studied lately?"
"Yes, we read every day, and my sister wrote a new poem yesterday." The second girl Xueyue said with a smile.
Taiping is older, but he seems more steady.
The third brother Yingyue couldn't wait to read Zhang Chao's new book.
It is written very rhymely. For an eleven-year-old girl, this poem is written very well. Although it looks awkward, it has a good idea. It is not a word that is forced to say that it is sad and sad for the new poems, such as the sadness of spring and autumn.
"I'll send this poem to me, and I'll send it to the newspaper to contribute."
"No, it's not written well, it's ridiculous to throw it out."
"How could my poem by Zhang Chao's daughter be bad?"
I chatted with my daughters, and time flew backwards.
Pingyang came back and found out that Zhang Chao was coming, and he was also very happy.
"Tell you good news, the fifth sister has agreed to the good things about Huaiyu and our Ling Yue."
"That's really good news. I asked Ling Yue just now, and she likes Huaiyu very much."
Pingyang smiled and said, "That's natural. Huaiyu's child is good everywhere, and I like it too. Huaiyu and our Lingyue are really a pair of golden boys and jade girls."
Zhang Chao gave Pingyang a piece of peeled millet.
"I have to ask Huaiyu's attitude about this. He is also a big boy and will have his own ideas. If he is unintentional, it won't work."
"Aren't the marriage of children here all the words of the matchmakers by their parents' orders?"
Zhang Chao shook his head, "This is also a consideration for the happiness of his children. After all, getting married is a lifelong thing. Our daughter likes Huaiyu, but we have to ensure that Huaiyu likes our daughter."
"Then you go and ask, he is still your student. By the way, ask Prince Qi's attitude. He is a father, which is more important than Huaiyu's attitude."
After eating a piece of millet, Pingyang clapped his hands and said, "I'll go cook for you."
"No need to worry, I'll go back and eat later."
Pingyang was unhappy, "I finally came here, why are you anxious?"
Zhang Chao surrendered immediately.
"Okay, then I won't go back today and stay here tonight."
Pingyang immediately smiled and went to cook happily.
The three sisters Ling Yue also went to help.
Zhang Chao raised his legs and picked up a newspaper, enjoying it comfortably.
Actually, he likes this place very much, and it is quieter.
Pingyang Niang and the four of them quickly prepared a table of dishes, eight dishes that were quite simple but very thoughtful. They were light and elegant. "Today, this dish was a few of us. Ling Yue and sisters made two dishes each. Let's see if you can eat it and who made it."
"You are showing off your skills, and I don't think about it. I can definitely taste your cooking skills."
The family of five sat around a table and had a great time eating.
"I wish Cong'er was here too." Pingyang sighed a little emotion.
"I'll bring him next time."
"Forget it. If you bring him here, he may not be happy. Instead, it will be embarrassing. Let it be natural."
After a meal.
Two sat in the porch and drank tea.
"How are you considering the matter of Minister of War?"
Pingyang smiled and shook his head, "I still don't think it's good. I am a woman, how dare I take over the position of Minister of War."
"So what about the female liar? You are the heroine in everyone's hearts and the princess of the country. In the army, your soldiers have extremely high prestige. How many merits have you made when you lead troops to fight? Besides, you are Your Majesty's aunt, and you will take over as the Minister of War, which will make Your Majesty feel at ease."
Pingyang frowned.
"Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, but Your Majesty is now big."
"It has something to do with Your Majesty's decision to enfeoff the Duke of Twenty Kingdoms?"
"It's a little bit, but it doesn't matter. I just feel that I've been a little alienated from His Majesty recently."
"No, Chengqian is both your student and your son-in-law, and your relationship is extraordinary."
Zhang Chao sighed, "Yes, but Chengqian is also the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I am not only the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, but also the largest vassal in the Tang Dynasty."
"I think you are thinking too much. You men always like to be suspicious. Those who are emperors always doubt the loyalty of their ministers, and those who are ministers are always worried about the suspicion of the emperor. In fact, they are all thinking too much."
Zhang Chao smiled.
Pingyang is right, sometimes he really thinks too much. But when he reaches this position, how can he not think too much?
"Don't think about it anymore. Take Your Majesty's edict and serve as the Minister of War. As for me, I will send the emperor to Nanyang in a few days and inspect the local situation."
"I want to accompany you, too."
"Next time."
Pingyang sighed, "I am old, and I don't care about fame, wealth and wealth. I just want you to spend more time with me, and think that my daughters will surround me, and that the family will laugh and laugh every day, so it will be fulfilling. I am willing to cook for you every day, and I am willing to sit and drink tea and chat with you now, and that's enough."
"I like it's like this too," said Zhang Chao.
