Under the archway, Chu Wensheng had just got off the sedan chair, wearing a Confucian robe, as if he had just stolen a cassock.
Chu Qing yawned and followed behind him. He got up too early and it was not yet midnight.
Today, I went to visit Tao Yao, the prince's young master, which was regarded as a semi-formal marriage proposal.
In fact, the two families were not far apart, but Chu Wensheng had to take a sedan chair.
After getting off the sedan, Lao Chu was quite nervous and muttered something.
"I don't feel young when I sleep in spring. I hold a bird everywhere. Night comes... Night comes, yes, we go together to see the dark clouds and the red fall. What a poem, what a poem."
Chu Qing hurriedly followed up: "Dad, that's spring sleep without realizing the dawn."
"Oh, I don't think it's small."
"I haven't noticed the dawn yet. I can hear birds singing everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and how many flowers have fallen. How can we go together to the dark clouds?"
Chu Wensheng hurriedly repeated it again. He had memorized this poem all the way, and the more he memorized it, the more his true nature became exposed.
I have to say that Lao Chu was really attentive. In order to leave a good impression on Tao Yao, he even asked Chu Qing to write a poem, fearing that his prospective in-laws would think that he was too vulgar as a martial artist.
If it were any other civil servant, not to mention the prince's young master, even the emperor's master, Chu Wensheng would have already been called out by the old Weijiang Da'er post, and what kind of poetry would he recite?
But it was a life-long matter for the eldest son, and Chu Wensheng did not dare to be careless at all. He was deeply afraid of disturbing Huang's marriage, even though Chu Qing had said that he and Tao Yao were as good as brothers.
Seeing that the father and son were almost at the gate of the Prince's Young Master's Mansion, Chu Qing was stunned.
The middle door of the Prince's Young Master's Mansion was opened. The concierge, Uncle Qin, and his servants were standing in two rows. Tao Shaozhang, the eldest son of Tao, stood with his head bowed. The outside of the main door was paved with loess, and the door smelled of new paint.
Chu Wensheng was a little unhappy: "The Emperor is also coming to Tao Mansion today?"
"No, what is the emperor doing here?"
"Then who is Tao Mansion waiting for for such a big battle? Is Nangong Eryu coming?"
"Dad, my name is Nangong Xi."
"Oh, that's it. I just looked at the names on the official documents. They are all called Nangong Zaifu. It turns out it's Nangong Xi. He got this ghost name."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "You are welcome, don't worry about it."
"For the sake of becoming a father?" Chu Wensheng's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "With such a big battle, the eldest lady of the Tao family...doesn't she have some hidden illness?"
"No way, Dad, please don't talk nonsense. This means that the Tao family values you."
"Why does he value me as a warrior..."
Speaking of this, Lao Chu was happy again: "Yes, you should pay attention to me, the son of Chu Wensheng, the commander of Qianqi Camp, hahaha, what a majesty, let's go to his Tao Mansion and we will face the dark clouds together."
"It's the sound of wind and rain at night."
"Yes, that's right, there was a sound of wind and rain at night, and I called out to my husband. Please be gentler, my husband. It hurts a little bit, hahaha."
Chu Qing: "..."
The father and son walked over. When the uncle saw the two of them, he quickly greeted them and was extremely respectful.
"My nephew, Tao Shaozhang, has met Chu Shibo." After finishing speaking, the elder brother-in-law blinked at Chu Qing.
"No gifts, no gifts." Chu Wensheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Qing: "This name sounds familiar."
"Young Minister of Dali Temple."
"Oh~~~I remember it, it's this stupid guy...he's this young and handsome man, he looks like a talented person, and he looks like a talented guy at the same time."
Tao Shaozhang's life has been worthwhile.
You must know that Lao Chu even confused the names of the ministers of other ministries and offices, and actually knew Tao Shaozhang's name.
"It's the time of day. I never thought that Shibo would arrive a moment earlier. My father is busy, so please come in and move to the main hall."
Tao Shaozhang was very polite and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Qing secretly wondered, yes, it was set for Chen time, but now it should be exactly Chen time. He didn't arrive early, and he didn't arrive late. Dad came at the right time. In addition, even if he arrived a moment early, he would still be there.
Why is Tao Tou so busy? Didn't he know that his father and he were coming over?
Chu Wensheng didn't take it seriously. He walked side by side with Tao Shaozhang who was leading the way, his lips still moving, trying to leave a good impression on Tao Yao.
As soon as I arrived at the screen wall, I suddenly heard the sound of hehehe coming from the yard.
The three of them passed the screen wall, and Chu Qing was confused again.
I saw Tao Yao, who was as thin as a dachshund, wearing a jingling armor that he didn't know where he got it from, practicing martial arts in the yard...or dancing?
Turning around, Tao Yao laughed loudly: "Brother Chu Xian, brother Chu Xian, why are you here early? Hey, brother Yu practices martial arts every day, counting the hours. He has just practiced for an hour, and brother Xian is here early."
, you’re here early, hahaha, hurry, hurry, hurry in.”
Chu Qing was so stunned that he forgot to salute and subconsciously looked at Tao Shaozhang.
When did your father start to like martial arts? And with his body type, how could he practice for an hour every day?
Chu Wensheng was also confused.
Is the prince's young master, a great scholar in Beijing who is famous all over the world, still practicing martial arts?
Seeing Chu Wensheng in a daze, Tao Yao stroked his beard and smiled again: "Brother Xian, you are laughing. I know that Brother Chu Xian is also a fierce general in the army. Let's have a duel someday, hahaha."
Chu Wensheng looked at Lao Doubi, not even daring to breathe. He was afraid that if he gasped louder, Tao Yao would be blown down.
He quickly saluted, and Chu Wensheng smiled slightly nervously and said: "I have heard the name of the Prince's Young Master for a long time, but I never thought that Master Tao is still a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs. I admire you, Chu Wensheng. Brother Tao's name is like two winds.
Son, it’s better to be famous than to meet, to be famous...to be famous is to be famous, to be especially famous.”
Chu Qing sighed silently and quickly saluted: "Young man, I have met Shibo."
"How come there are so many customs? The Chu and Tao families are as close as one family. When you come here, you feel like your own family. When you meet Shibo, it's like meeting...meeting your own uncle."
It can be seen that Tao Yao is also very nervous and has been led astray by Chu Wensheng. In addition, Tao Yao is quite generous. He is talking about the Chu and Tao families, not Tao, the Chu family and the Chu family.
In front, Tao behind.
The parents of both parties exchanged some meaningless but cordial and friendly greetings. They asked each other for "please" and raised their hands for each "please". It took more than 20 steps to walk to the main hall, which took a long time.
The parents of both parties walked in front, followed by Chu Qing and Tao Shaozhang.
Chu Qing laughed and asked, "When did your father start practicing martial arts?"
"A quarter of an hour ago."
As soon as Tao Shaozhang finished speaking, Chu Wensheng, who had crossed the threshold, had already begun to show off: "I heard the singing birds, I heard the singing birds, the sound of the wind and rain at night, this poem is for Brother Tao, I, Chu Wensheng, am also an ignorant person.
, I like to tinker with these bad poems on weekdays, and I will have a good discussion with Brother Tao someday, haha."
This time it was my uncle's turn to look confused and asked in a low voice: "When will Chu Shibo be able to compose poetry?"
Chu Qing sighed: "It was also a quarter of an hour ago."
After entering the main hall, Uncle Qin brought refreshments, and then the parents of both parties started to get into the mood, praising, praising to death, praising each other's children to death, and the praise was so intense that it made one's face flush with anger.
They were really anxious, and they had already begun to say that their children were not good enough for each other.
Finally, Tao Yao took the lead in stating that if his daughter did not marry Chu Qing, his entire Tao family would be wiped out.
Chu Wensheng was not to be outdone. If his son did not marry Tao Ruolin, the head of the Chu Mansion in Weijiang would be struck by thunder.
As he spoke, Tao Yao's eyes turned red, saying that Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin had said that they would only marry one person in this life and would not take concubines. Old Tao felt sorry for the Chu family, as their daughter was already so old and had a bad reputation.
Why not let Chu Qing accept a few, otherwise he would be embarrassed as a father.
This time it was Chu Qing's turn to express his stance, saying that if he dared to take a concubine, the head of the Chu Mansion in Weijiang would not only be struck by thunder, but would also be deprived of reincarnation forever.
Tao Yao was extremely moved, and his uncle was also very moved.
Chu Qing rubbed his nose with an embarrassed look on his face.
He has not discussed this matter with Tao Ruolin, but both of them know that Chu Qing will not take concubines, because no matter how ordinary he is, he still shines in the eyes of the other person, guarding each other, and there is no one else except the other person.
They looked so perfect in their eyes. Both Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin felt that they were perfect only in the eyes of the other.
