After the meal, the two of them went for a walk in the garden together. Yun Zishu asked leisurely: "The name of your family is Rong Zhan?"
Huangfu nodded Chuchu.
"When did he enter the General's Mansion?"
"About five or six years old." Huangfu Chuchu couldn't help but smile when he thought of the time when Rong Zhan first entered the house. "He was in such a mess when he first came here. Not only was he injured, but he was also covered in mud and was so dirty that he couldn't see clearly.
He has a beautiful face, but he doesn't let his servants give him a bath... In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed and he has grown into a handsome and handsome young man. Time flies so fast."
After saying that, Huangfu Chuchu added: "He was brought back by my father."
Yun Zishu was slightly surprised: "Did General Wang bring it back?"
"Yes." Huangfu Chuchu nodded, "When my father was young, he followed the emperor to fight. The territory of Dongyou expanded little by little and became the most powerful country today. Later, the emperor was injured several times, and the dragon body gradually became worse than before, and the war in Dongyou Kingdom became more and more difficult.
It’s not as frequent as before, and the fighting gradually stopped after that, but my father often led the army to patrol the border, and Rong Zhan was brought back at that time.”
Yun Zishu frowned: "The general is so unwary?"
Are the children you meet during border patrol just brought back?
"My father has a cold face and a soft heart. He doesn't want to see innocent children suffer. And I heard that when he first picked up Rong Zhan, he was being bullied and was covered with bruises." Huangfu Chuchu's tone was a little subtle, "But I still have a sense of wariness, so I took Rong Zhan with me.
Before he came back, he sent someone to check his details, and he should have been brought back after confirming that he was fine."
Rong Zhan.
Yun Zishu frowned and couldn't help but think about the surname Rong, but then she thought again, if there was really any conspiracy, maybe even the surname was fake.
Moreover, General Wang has led troops for so many years and has rich experience. It is impossible that he would not have thought of this.
"After Rong Zhan arrived at the palace, my father was not at home all year round. He grew up with my eldest brother and me." Huangfu Chuchu sighed, "My eldest brother is three years older than him, but boys from a military general's family learn martial arts earlier.
There is a big difference in age, and teaching people has a certain pattern. Don’t
I saw that my eldest brother looked like he was doing nothing all day long when he grew up. He was very strict when he was young. He was a strict teacher in front of Rong Zhan. If he couldn't do it, he would beat him. When I was young, I was not sensible. I once thought that my eldest brother didn't like Rong Zhan.
He is so cruel, and he often gets angry with his elder brother because of it."
Yun Zishu tilted her head when she heard this, "Your elder brother taught him martial arts?"
"Yes." Huangfu nodded Chuchu, "If you can't practice well, you'll beat him. Anyway, when Rong Zhan first started practicing martial arts, he was injured all day long, and he looked quite pitiful."
Yun Zishu smiled: "You have good looks, and the child is beaten every day. Can't you help but feel distressed?"
Huangfu Chuchu nodded: "I protected him a lot when he was a child. I always felt that he was weak in front of his elder brother, so I always felt that he was a younger brother."
Yun Zishu understood: "Your parents and eldest brother regard him as family?"
"That's right. Anyway, no one has ever treated him as a human or an outsider." Huangfu Chuchu said, "On the contrary, he himself always calls me miss and calls my eldest brother the heir apparent."
The air is fresh in the morning, and the flowers in the garden are particularly vibrant.
Yun Zishu walked slowly along the path, walked to the front and climbed the stone steps to the pavilion. She sat down by the railing and raised her lips with a smile: "When your daughter's family grows up, she has to think about marriage. How many women choose husbands for the sake of family marriage?"
You have no rights and can only accept the arrangements of your parents. You are lucky, at least you don't have to marry for the sake of marriage."
"Yes." Huangfu nodded Chuchu, "I don't know how many women from those aristocratic families envy my good fortune. I have such a powerful father as General Wang, and a mother who loves me. There are even rumors outside that I have raised a boy.
, some people only dare to discuss a few words in private, but do not dare to criticize or criticize excessively."
"Having a father like General Wang is indeed enviable," Yun Zishu said calmly, "not only because of his strength, but also because of his unwavering loyalty to his wife and love for his children."
Most of the children raised in such families are upright and will be more serious and prudent about marriage. Influenced by family tradition, men should respect their wives after they get married, and daughters will also know how to protect themselves after they get married, and will not easily succumb to unreasonable behavior.
rule.
At that moment, Yun Zishu also felt a little envious. Even though she was living a good life now, the family love she had lost since childhood could not be made up for.
"It's my birthday in a few days, and my mother plans to give me a grand party." Huangfu Chuchu looked at Yun Zishu, "Can your highness come?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you."
"Then thank you in advance, Your Highness."
"You're welcome."
"I am sixteen years old this year. Usually, a daughter of this age should leave the government, but my mother said that she is willing to raise me until I am eighteen." Huangfu Chuchu said, suddenly smiling, "She said that with my status and external conditions
, the men from all the big families in Dongyou all dreamed of marrying me. When they were twenty years old, no one dared to object. I thought this was quite reasonable, so every time I met my mother in the past two years, she said she wanted to marry me.
When we talk about getting married, I will use these words to stop her. I will be sixteen this year, and I should think about it even if I don’t want to."
Normally, it takes a long time for a girl from aristocratic families to get married. Most of them start looking for a suitable man when they are thirteen or fourteen years old. They need to choose the right man, and they also need to examine the other person's knowledge and conduct. The selection process lasts for more than half a year.
After the candidates were confirmed, they went through the marriage negotiation process, finalized the wedding date, prepared six ceremonies, and got married at the age of sixteen.
Xianglan walked up the stone steps to the pavilion carrying the tray and placed the tray on the table: "My servant has asked people to prepare tea and snacks. Please use them slowly."
"Thank you very much." Huangfu Chuchu thanked her politely, then turned to look at Yun Zishu, "The Crown Princess is pregnant now, so she should drink lighter tea instead of strong tea."
"Don't worry, Miss Huangfu, the tea prepared by this servant is suitable for the Crown Princess to drink." Xianglan said with a smile, "If we hadn't thought of this, His Highness would have sent us to clean the toilet, and we wouldn't be qualified to be here.
Are you here to serve the Crown Princess?"
Huangfu Chuchu curled his lips: "Don't always emphasize in front of me how much His Highness the Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess. This will make me feel unbalanced."
Xianglan smiled happily and said: "Yes. This slave deserves to be beaten."
Huangfu Chuchu held the tea cup and couldn't help but sigh: "Sixteen years old is a strict coming-of-age ceremony for me. My mother plans to invite more women who have not left the court, and invite some young men from aristocratic families. Then let me see
Is there any chance of a match? It’s like choosing a concubine. I don’t know what the young masters from the aristocratic families will think."
Yun Zishu said: "Parents love their son, so they have far-reaching plans. Your mother also wants to choose a husband that you will be happy with."
