Chapter 499 The Big Tiger's Marriage (2 in 1)(1/2)
After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Du Shaoqing pondered: "So, do you want to retreat as an advance? Use the convenience of the Minister of Justice to find out the truth of the assassination, and then hide behind the scenes and fade out of the dispute between the crown prince?
But have you ever thought that you are the eldest son, and your first position is yours. As long as you don’t move, others will not be able to compete with you. Now, you take the initiative to withdraw. What if His Majesty sets up another person, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I understand so much that happened. Even if I have been sitting firmly in the position of the prince, what if I have been sitting firmly in the position of the prince? Don't my younger brothers fight? How many of the royal children are fuel-efficient?
The father had already understood this point. He pointed it out directly at the dynasty meeting and asked us brothers to compete fairly. The only requirement was not to let bloodshed happen if we were to break up with each other. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get out directly, and there would be heavy responsibility!"
Is this... the legendary Nine Dragons fighting for the throne? Du Shaoqing murmured to himself.
What? What is the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne? Li Chengqian asked.
Du Shaoqing came back to his senses and interrupted: "It's nothing. Such a method of passing the throne is admirable. It coincides with an emperor I know. It's very good.
It seems that His Majesty has also worked hard to save your life!"
"Yes, even I didn't expect my father to make such a decision. In fact, all this was caused by you." Li Chengqian looked at Du Shaoqing and said seriously.
"Me? How is it possible? Today I have been busy with the affairs of the clinic and don't even know the news of the court meeting. Moreover, I have never mentioned the move of Kowloon to fight for the throne to His Majesty or anyone, and it is really not my idea."
Li Chengqian smiled and said with some clues, making Du Shaoqing unable to touch his mind.
"What I said is that my father has changed, or that our entire royal family has been changed by you." Li Chengqian sighed: "I thought I was a lame prince who was about to be deposed, and my father was reluctant to see me once.
Who would have thought that the return of the fifth sister not only brought back a little princess whom everyone loved, but also a beautiful talent hidden in the mountains.
Others say that Du Shaoqing's fortune was given by God. If a princess fell from the sky, you will become the most popular powerful person in the court.
But I don’t think so. In my opinion, it was my sister Changle who was lucky enough to meet a good husband like you under the guidance of God. If it weren’t for this, the mother and two sisters might have life worries.
If you hadn't cured my lameness and let me experience the lives of the people in the mountains for half a year, I, the prince, would have been deposed.
Even my father said in person that the arrival of Du Shaoqing has brought prosperity to the Tang Dynasty for at least thirty years.
So it is our Li royal family who can meet you, right?”
After hearing this, Du Shaoqing suddenly burst into laughter. Now it was Li Chengqian's turn to be inexplicable. Did he say something wrong? Why did he laugh so despicable?
"According to your calculations, if you regard these two parties as a transaction, do you think Changle is not worth this to marry me?" Du Shaoqing quipped.
you……
Li Chengqian was almost vomited blood when he was angry and cursed: "Why are you so vulgar? You are talking about serious things to you, but you are like a transaction? It's full of money! You are really a businessman.
How can this be compared? Don’t you often say that marriage depends on love? Is it a matter of marrying my sister a transaction?"
"Ahem, why are you still anxious as you say it?
Just kidding, I suddenly thought of this metaphor and couldn't help but fantasize for a moment.
Don't mention this in front of Changle, otherwise my backyard might have a fire." Du Shaoqing hurriedly begged for mercy.
The two of them were making noise in the study, while Princess Changle and Princess Hou were discussing the marriage of Dahu.
"Fifth sister, I heard you are busy organizing a marriage for Dahu? I don't know how it is going? Is there a girl you like?
My husband told me that the matter of Dahu is ours, so we must do our best.” Hou asked.
Princess Changle frowned and said, "I am worried when talking about this. Dahu is not young anymore. In ordinary families, they should start a family at the age of 10 or 20.
But sister-in-law, you know that Dahu and the others were from the mountains, so they were still in their thirties and had no wives or children. Fortunately, the mother gave four maids and asked Erhu and the others to marry him.
Now, Dahu's marriage, his husband also reminded him that he had made such great contributions and his father also gave him a title and could not marry a maid again. He wanted to find a good family in Chang'an with a good family."
"But because of family matters? Don't worry about this. Your elder brother just said that you can pick a tiger below the fourth rank and you can go to protect the media by yourself." Hou said enthusiastically.
The princess waved her hand and said, "It's not because of this. Dahu is our family. Her husband said she wanted to protect the media personally. It's not a family matter for any official in Chang'an City.
But Dahu's request was a bit difficult. They didn't know what ecstasy medicine they had given their husbands, and they were determined to imitate their husbands to pursue free love. The first requirement for marrying a wife is that they cannot be ten years apart."
Hou said in surprise: "Ah? What is this rude requirement? The Tang Dynasty rulers must marry men and women at the right age, otherwise the government will arrange it.
Generally, the daughters get married when they are in their teens, and at the latest, they are also twenty-year-old girls. The big tiger is in their thirties. If they are ten years younger, how can they be in their twenties be yellow and still be in their boudoir? It's ridiculous."
Princess Changle couldn't help but smile and said, "Who said that it's not? But Dahu said that if you marry someone too young, it would be like marrying a younger niece. It always feels awkward, and it doesn't look like you live a life."
"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that Dahu looked honest and unpretentious, and his taste was so special.
Who doesn’t want a man to marry a young and beautiful wife? Could it be that he likes the one who has been washed by time and has been through vicissitudes?
Or do he likes remarried women?
OK, everyone only likes it. As long as it is not a good manly style, it can be a family at least." Hou commented.
Princess Changle was already amused by this sharp-talking sister-in-law, "My sister-in-law misunderstood. My husband said that Dahu just wanted to find someone who was not very old and could be able to chat in the future. It was really not a bad habit.
And he saved his elder brother's life. If he asked him to marry a remarried woman, he would always feel guilty, so he should try his best to find it. There will always be older girls' homes in Chang'an City."
Hou only felt that everything in the Du family was different from Chang'an, but they could even explain some truths, which made people not want to refute it.
"As old, I'm not remarried, it's really unrest. If there is one, there are only older palace maids who are about to be sent out of the palace, but I just said that.
Otherwise, find two for him at a time and take a wife and concubine. The two women will always be as old as he wants.
And don’t worry about not being able to talk. There is always someone who can talk speculatively, and even a three-person game."
...Princess Changle was also defeated by this sister-in-law's wonderful idea. She thought to herself that we are helping people find a wife seriously. It is like a task that must be completed for the sister-in-law. Can you be more serious?
However, for several days, not only Princess Changle and Hou's search were fruitless, but Wu Zhao even mobilized the Chamber of Commerce to help, but still could not find a qualified one.
It’s either a matter of age or appearance, etc., I didn’t like it.
That day, Dahu was surrounded by a group of brothers in the original yard of the Du family.
This yard was originally a dormitory where the guys lived, but later Erhu and the others got married, so Du Shaoqing built a three-bedroom courtyard for each of them in the Hou Mansion, and asked them to live in the Du family. The man helped to take care of the family and the clinic, and the woman was responsible for caring for the children and cooking.
So this guy’s dormitory has now become a place where Dahu lives alone.
The two tigers were not there, and the other few people were almost led by the three tigers. Although this guy was a reckless man, he was still quite majestic at least. Four tigers and five tigers dared not prick them.
Recently, I heard that my elder brother was not going well with his wife, so Sanhu brought his two brothers to comfort him.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. If it really doesn't work, we'll be close to you. It's better to marry an eighteenth. Now, in order to find a wife for you, I heard that the shopkeeper and his wife are about to search the Chang'an City. Older people are indeed scarce." Wuhu persuaded.
Sihu cursed: "Brother Wu, what you said, the eldest brother is in his thirties. It is obvious that he is making a profit when marrying an eighteen wife. How can he make a living?"
Three tigers slapped him, "It's so stupid. Have you ever heard a word? Scarcity is precious.
This older woman is so scarce, she must be extremely precious. In my opinion, the elder brother has a unique vision and is worthy of being my elder brother. I admire the third brother!"
Dahu looked at the three of them saying one by one in front of him, and was so angry that he beat him a few times and scolded: "Do you three go here to laugh at me if you don't do anything?"
The fourth brother, are you disliked the fourth brother and sister who are older? The third brother, do you also want to get along with the older one?”
Cough cough... I dare not, there is absolutely nothing. The three of them waved their hands quickly. They could marry a wife from the palace and had a dream. How could they dare to do anything randomly? They were just a group of servants.
Wuhu said: "Brother, otherwise, you are considering marrying a palace maid. The palace has good knowledge and age, so you can meet your requirements. Don't have to marry those daughters, so let the shopkeeper be embarrassed, right?"
Yes, yes, we are here today to persuade you...
The other two agreed.
I'm afraid only these brothers would think so. Normal Chang'an people basically look down on the palace maids from the palace, because these people are usually poor and have to sell themselves into the palace and become servants.
Not to mention that my family is not good, I ended up busy for half my life, and because my youth is not there, I was cleaned out of the palace. Most people use the settlement fee given by the palace to go out and find someone they want to marry. Those who cannot get married may find a place to stay alone for the rest of their lives. It can be said that it is very miserable.
Only Sanhu and his wife were born in the wild, and the few palace maids they married were pretty in their twenties, with excellent etiquette and temperament. They were all happy and loved their wives very much, thinking that it was a good marriage for God, so they did not mean to be despised.
Dahu sighed and said, "Why don't you know this? You have also gone to the shopkeeper and your wife, but they insisted on doing this matter with one hand, and they didn't listen to advice!
Forget it, I will go to the shopkeeper again and tell him not to look for it. This time, no matter how tall, short, thin, and old it is, as long as it is a woman, I will just run into the house on rainy days."
Just then, a burst of laughter came from outside the courtyard, and Du Shaoqing walked in with a document.
He pointed at Dahu and scolded, "In order to marry you, I almost broke the leg of the prince and me. You are so good. Listen to these few military advisors who are so beautiful, you want to give up with me?
If you really want to marry a lame person, wouldn’t the prince and I run away in vain? It would be better for Chang’an people to laugh out loud when they spread out."
When Sanhu and his men saw that something was wrong, they immediately prepared to run away, but were scolded by Du Shaoqing.
Dahu smiled embarrassedly and said, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper? I was too demanding for being ignorant before."
Du Shaoqing smiled and said, "A philosopher once said that the reason you like women now is because you have not met a man that makes you moved.
I think it makes sense. Maybe there is a man of your destiny waiting for you. I can’t find a woman who suits you in Chang'an City. Did we find the wrong gender?"
What?
Dahu was sweating coldly and immediately begged for mercy: "Don't be the shopkeeper, the young man is a first-class pure man, he will never be a man. He will not marry a woman in this life!"
The Sanhu brothers fantasized about the love story between the eldest brother and a young man, or a burly man, and felt a chill coming. This scene...
Wuhu even suddenly said, "Brother, brother, I have only realized that you like men for so many years? No wonder we have been in trouble for many years but haven't seen you robbed the wife of the village."
Dahu: "Shut up, see if I won't beat you to death!"
Sanhu suddenly realized, "Yeah, it makes sense!"
you……
Dahu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but these brothers couldn't take it anymore.
Sihu continued: "No, there is no one else in the village except us men. If the elder brother likes men, then wouldn't we be his...
Puff! Brother, isn't this really right?"
To be continued...
