Madam Zhangsun smiled at her husband and asked,"
"Husband, did you mention Xue 'er's marriage during the morning court session?
Xue 'er would be fifteen next month, so she should be getting married.”
During the Zhenguan period, women should get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Hence, it was no wonder that Madam Zhangsun would urge him.
" Mother…" Seeing her mother directly asking about the marriage, Zhangsun Xue 'er was also a little embarrassed.
Zhangsun Wuji sat down slowly, but he sighed heavily.
"Sigh…"
Zhangsun Wuji's sigh immediately made the two of them feel that something was wrong.
"During the morning court session today, I mentioned this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty also agreed and directly bestowed the marriage.”
Zhangsun Wuji's words immediately made the two of them happy again.
Madam Zhangsun rolled her eyes." Since His Majesty has already bestowed the marriage, it's a done deal. Why are you sighing?" Could it be that you still can't bear to part with your own young lady?”
Madam Zhangsun laughed again as she spoke.
Unfortunately, Zhangsun Wuji was not in the mood.
"Sigh. Although the Emperor had bestowed the marriage, the Crown Prince had gone back on his word! He even directly refuted the marriage bestowed by the Emperor, making it difficult for the Emperor to step down.
His Majesty was furious! This matter was left unsettled!”
" What?!" Zhangsun Xue 'er stood up immediately.
She did not expect to be rejected!
In Chang 'an, her eldest grandson Xue' er's bootlickers were everywhere. Li Tai, the King of Wei, Li Chongyi, the son of Hejian County Prince, Qin Huaiyu, the son of Yi State Duke, and the young generation of many wealthy families all treated her with courtesy. He even dreamed of marrying her!
However, this cousin had actually rejected the Emperor's betrothal!
"Daughter, don't be alarmed. Father will think of a way for this matter.”Seeing that his daughter had been wronged, Zhangsun Wuji felt very wronged.
"Since the Crown Prince is unwilling, then let's forget about this marriage! A father did not have to lose face for his daughter.”After saying that, Zhangsun Xue 'er stood up and left.
"Sigh!" Watching her daughter leave, Madam Zhangsun also felt very uncomfortable.
After all, he was just talking to Xue 'er about their future marriage.
But now, an accident had already happened!
"Gao Ming was originally very sensible. How could he be so ungrateful this time?”Madam Zhangsun could not help but say," Besides, how is Xue 'er not worthy of him? He even dared to reject His Majesty's bestowal of marriage!”Madam Zhangsun continued to defend her daughter!
"I'll find a chance to talk to Gao Ming personally.”Zhangsun Wuji could only say so.
……
Zhangsun Chong was drinking with Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and the others in Yuchun Brothel.
Spring Jade Restaurant was the first floor of Chang 'an West City. Almost all the people who could come here to drink and eat were celebrities in Chang' an!
Zhangsun Chong was the host today. He smiled and greeted,
"Come, brothers. Today is big brother's treat, so you must eat and drink well.”
Cheng Chumo touched his big black face and asked with a smile,
"Brother Zhangsun, you're not usually a generous person. Today's wine was probably not something that could be drunk easily!”
Cheng Chumo was just like his father. He usually looked reckless, but he was actually very shrewd behind his back.
Yuchi Baolin was obviously very straightforward. He sat there and started eating.
Zhangsun Chong chuckled." I'm just jealous that my brothers are all serving in the army and have repeatedly made contributions. I also want to join my brothers on the battlefield and kill the Turkic barbarians!”
Zhangsun Chong was actually feeling extremely unbalanced in his heart!
Originally, he, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and the others were all silkpants in the capital.
Moreover, Zhangsun Chong liked to read military books, so he was much smarter than Cheng Chumo and the others.
But now, Cheng Chumo and the others had become deputy generals in the army, each leading more than two thousand elite cavalry.
But he, Zhangsun Chong, was not even a centurion.
How could Zhangsun Chong accept this!
However, the military was not a playground for the second generation.
If he wanted to be promoted, he had to have military merits.
That was why Zhangsun Chong came to Cheng Chumo and the others for advice.
"Oh, I see. Now that you've said it, I know what to do.”Cheng Chumo chuckled, picked up his chopsticks, and ate a big mouthful of chicken.
"This matter is easy to handle." Yuchi Baolin gulped down a mouthful of wine." You can join His Highness the Crown Prince's army too! The Crown Prince has always cherished talents. Your Zhangsun Chong's martial arts skills are above ours. I believe that the Crown Prince will definitely agree!”
" Really?!" Zhangsun Chong was delighted!
That was what he meant!
The Crown Prince had already fought his way to the Turkic Imperial Court, so how could Zhangsun Chong not admire the Crown Prince?
Therefore, he also wanted to cling onto the crown prince's thigh!
But the Crown Prince didn't want to play with him!
That was why he came to Cheng Chumo and the others, hoping that they could introduce him to them.
"Brothers, give me some recommendations.”Zhangsun Chong chuckled.
Yuchi Baolin was speechless." No way. Everyone in Chang 'an City says that your sister, Eldest Sun Xue' er, is the future Crown Princess! You and the Crown Prince are cousins. Do you still need us to introduce you?”
Zhangsun Chong sighed!
Cheng Chumo saw this and didn't say much." Good brother, we've already eaten this meal. Leave your matter to us!" Tomorrow, outside the city, at the Bei Wei Army camp, you can go directly, we will personally plead for you!”
"Good brother! Good brother!" Zhangsun Chong was very excited!
He thought to himself,'I didn't treat you wrongly!'
Just as the three of them were toasting, a discussion came from the dining table beside them.
"Do you know that something big happened in the morning court today?”
"I heard that the Minister of Rites was beaten dozens of times by the Emperor.”
"Haha, I heard that too."
"But the most important thing is that the Minister of Personnel Affairs has proposed to the Emperor.”
"Minister of Personnel? Isn't that the Duke of Qi?"
"Ya! The girls of the Qi State were first-class good-looking!”
"Did the emperor bestow a marriage? If it was a marriage, it should be given to the Crown Prince!”
"That's the Crown Princess! Amazing! This Zhangsun clan, could it be that another empress had appeared?”
Hearing this, Zhangsun Chong perked up his ears and smiled.
Of course, he was happy that his sister could marry well.
Moreover, it was a supreme honor for their family to have another empress!
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin naturally heard this conversation. They were still envious. After all, Zhangsun Xue 'er was the goddess in the hearts of the second generation!
However, when he thought about how his goddess had slept with their boss! He felt a little better!
Those people who were talking were all from the Ministry of Revenue. At this moment, they were drinking a little wine, and the topics they were talking about became even more explosive!
Especially the person who had started the topic just now. Seeing that these people had changed the topic, he quickly waved his hand and said,
"Everyone, please stop. This bestowment marriage had not yet been completed!”
"You didn't succeed? Why?"
"Haha, the Crown Prince has been rejected by the current court!”
"What is it? Rejected? Why did the Crown Prince do this?"
"Who knows? In any case, this was a direct slap to His Majesty's face, and even more so to the Duke of Qi's face!”
"Interesting. The Zhangsun family must have been arrogant and despotic in Chang 'an, but they had been taught a lesson by the Crown Prince.”
"That's right. It was said that the daughter of the Zhangsun family was extremely beautiful. But now that the Crown Prince had broken off the engagement, who would dare to remarry?”
"Ordinary families can't afford it. The bigger families could not afford to lose face.”
"Haha, interesting, interesting.”
Bang!
The chopsticks in Zhangsun Chong's hand were broken.
Zhangsun Chong was furious.
His eyes were like fire.
Glaring angrily at the group of chatting officials, he picked up the wine jar and smashed it fiercely.
Boom!
The wine jar exploded.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue also stood up, their expressions unfriendly.
"Who are you? How dare you spare us?"
"Do you want to die? Whose child should be so impudent?”
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and call your guards to beat this person out!”
Zhangsun Chong laughed coldly and jumped up, wanting to rush forward to teach him a lesson.
Fortunately, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin quickly reached out to stop him.
"Brother Zhangsun, you can't do this!”
When the shopkeeper heard the noise, he hurriedly ran over with his men. However, when he saw that it was the young master of the Zhangsun Clan, he immediately lost his temper.
"Dear guests, this is the young master of the Duke of Qi. You should leave quickly. This meal is on me.”The shopkeeper had no choice but to pay out of his own pocket.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue saw that they had kicked a True God and didn't stay any longer.
After cupping their fists, they quickly slipped away.
After all, Zhangsun Wuji was still the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs. If he were to cause trouble, they would lose their official positions.
"Li Chengqian is going too far! He actually broke off the engagement. Where did he put my sister? Where did he put my Zhangsun family?”
The more Zhangsun Chong thought about it, the angrier he got!
He picked up his sword and rushed out.
"Brother Zhangsun, where are you going?"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, who had thought that they had finished fighting, had already sat down and were ready to continue eating. However, when they saw Zhangsun Chong running away again, they quickly chased after him.
"Crown Prince, the Eastern Palace! Go settle the score with the Crown Prince!" Zhangsun Chong was very heroic!
At this moment, Zhangsun·Sistercon·Fearless·Charge was online!
