Duke Wei Manor!
After Chang Sheng had the idea of roping in the Xu family, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should confirm the matter as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
Thus, after he informed Chang Mao, he went to visit his good friend Xu Hui Zu.
Although he did not know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, Chang Sheng felt that he should first communicate with his good friend Xu Huizu. At least, he should let the Xu family know that he had such intentions.
The biggest benefit of doing this was to keep the youngest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Miaojin, so that she could not be betrothed to anyone else.
In this way, if Zhu Yuanzhang did not object later, the marriage between Zhu Yunshi and Xu Miaojin could be held naturally.
In the living room!
Xu Huizu looked at Chang Sheng in confusion and asked,""Brother Chang, why did you suddenly come?”
"Haha!"
Chang Sheng chuckled and said meaningfully,""Brother Xu, I have a gift for you. I just don't know if you're willing to accept it.”
"Wealth?"
Xu Huizu was stunned when he heard this. He waved his hand and said,"Brother Chang, there's no need for such riddles between us, right? If you have anything to say, just say it. If there's anything you can use me for, I won't refuse.”
The relationship between Chang Sheng and Xu Huizu could be traced back to Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.
After Zhu Yuanzhang started to conquer the world, the two people who had the best performance in leading the army were Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.
The Battle of Jiuhua Mountain.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da had a dispute over how to deal with the captives.
Neither side could convince the other.
Chang Yuchun believed that they should kill all the captives and not be merciful to deter the remaining enemies.
Xu Da, on the other hand, insisted on not agreeing to kill the prisoners. He felt that if this was the case, the enemy would rather die in battle than surrender.
The two of them insisted on their own words and each had their own reasons. Neither of them could convince the other.
This matter finally alarmed Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the end, Chang Yuchun was reprimanded harshly.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Chang Yuchun to listen to Xu Da's command when he fought with Xu Da.
Chang Yuchun was also a temperamental person. After being reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, he clearly realized his mistake and completely hated Xu Da.
From this moment on, the two of them became friends.
In the battle that followed.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun often worked together. The two of them attacked cities and conquered land together to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The relationship between them also sublimated in the battles.
Although Chang Yuchun was known as the God of War by Zhu Yuanzhang, he always played the role of a younger brother in front of Xu Da. As long as Xu Da was around, he would always be his assistant.
The relationship between Xu Da and Chang Yuchun was passed down to the next generation, Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng looked at Xu Huizu and said hesitantly,""Alright, Brother Xu, since you've said so, I won't hide it anymore. I want to introduce a marriage to your little sister. What do you think?”
Seven years ago, Xu Da passed away.
As the eldest son, Xu Huizu inherited Xu Da's title and also took on the heavy responsibility of managing the family.
An elder brother was like a father!
In this era where the parents 'orders and matchmakers' words were spoken, Xu Huizu, as the eldest son of the Xu family, had a lot of say in the marriage arrangements of his younger siblings.
"Oh? I wonder which young man is worthy of Brother Chang's matchmaking?”
Xu Huizu was very curious and wanted to know who was the one who had connections with Chang Sheng.
He also knew in his heart that for Chang Sheng to step in, the man was most likely Huaixi's men.
From a fundamental point of view, the Xu family was also a member of the Huaixi nobility. However, because they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious, the Xu family had slowly reduced their interactions with the Huaixi nobility over the years.
As the leader of the six founding kings, it could be said that as long as the Xu family did not rebel, their family's wealth could continue until the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
"Cough cough…"
Chang Sheng coughed lightly and did not reply to Xu Huizu's question. Instead, he smiled and said,""Brother Xu, do you think the relationship between our two families can go further?”
"What?"
Xu Huizu was stunned.
Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.""Brother Chang, don't joke around. Even if you and I agree, would the old master agree?”
The marriage of Madam Chang and Madam Xu was naturally good for both families.
But what would Zhu Yuanzhang think?
Would he let such a thing happen?
Chang Sheng waved his hand and said," Brother Xu, you've misunderstood. I'm asking for a marriage on behalf of my nephew, the imperial grandson Zhu Yunyan, to marry your younger sister, Xu Miaojin."”
Zhu Yunhao was Chang Sheng's nephew. If he married Xu Miaojin, the relationship between Chang Sheng and Xu Huizu would naturally be closer than before.
"This…"
Xu Huizu hesitated. He knew that he had misunderstood. However, he was really unwilling to let his little sister marry the cowardly Zhu Yunshi.
Although Xu Miaojin's marriage to Zhu Yunhao was considered a social status, sometimes status was not the only thing that mattered.
1. Zhu Yunhao is a coward and is definitely a good match.
Second, after Zhu Yunwen became the Crown Prince, although he and Zhu Yunhao were half-brothers, he would never treat Zhu Yunhao well. It was likely that he would imprison Zhu Yunhao in Yingtian Prefecture.
Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng were best friends, but he could not push his own sister into the fire pit.
Chang Sheng saw Xu Huizu's dilemma and said with a smile,""Brother Xu, there's something you might not know. To be honest, if it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have the face to ask you for a marriage.”
"Oh? What is it?"
Xu Huizu looked at Chang Sheng curiously. He planned to listen to Chang Sheng first before making a decision.
No matter what, even if he had to give Chang Sheng face in the end, he would not push his little sister into the fire pit.
