It was already evening when we came out of Longde Palace.

Gao Chong thought about seeing his mother another day, but Zhao Huanhuan refused: "Tomorrow comes day after day. There are so many tomorrows. Waiting for tomorrow will make everything in vain."

Hey, this fiery temperament is really similar to that of an official.

Gao Chong looked back at Emperor Daojun, who was half leaning against the door and looking through the autumn water. He scratched his head and asked, "The Emperor is so anxious to marry you off?"

Zhao Huanhuan hammered his strong biceps: "Can't you see? Daddy wants us to get married and be free as soon as possible."

If there was a big wedding, he, the father-in-law, would have to show up.

At that time, with the good time and auspicious weather, the atmosphere may be joyful, and maybe Zhao Fujin's dragon face will be happy, and the story of the red horse and red sheep will be over.

On the way out of the palace, Gao Chong seemed a little nervous and flustered.

"When I go to the house later, does my mother still have to salute you?"

"According to etiquette, it is required."

"Oh, what if my mother doesn't agree?"

"Why don't you agree? I, Zhao Huanhuan, am not worthy of your favor?"

"Do you really like me, or are you trying to save the Supreme Emperor?"

Zhao Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Gao Chong and sighed in her heart: "Hey, what a fool..."

Kaifeng outer city, Gaojiazhai.

Although this house is not as grand as Yue Fei's mansion, it is still Li Bangyan's hard-earned money.

After investing in Yue Fei, Yue Fei is now the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. After a period of time, the promotion of the envoy to the Privy Council is already a certainty.

Invest in a high favor, and the high favor will soon become a relative of the emperor.

With the exchange of such personal connections between the two houses, Li Bangyan wanted to shout: "Who else!"

Seeing that in the imperial study today, Emperor Roufu's intention was clear, and the officials seemed to be very optimistic about the marriage. At this juncture, how could Li Bangyan not come to brush up his presence and act as a matchmaker by force.

As soon as he entered the Gao Mansion, Li Bangyan called out cordially: "Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao, I'm here to see you."

Entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Gao was already waiting outside the door on crutches: "Li Xiangguo, long time no see."

When Li Bangyan saw Mrs. Gao going out to greet her, he trotted up to greet her and helped the old lady back into the hall: "Oh, I don't dare bother Mrs. Gao to greet her. Come in quickly."

After sitting down for tea and exchanging a few words, Li Bangyan asked, "General Gao hasn't returned home yet?"

When Mrs. Gao heard this, she immediately put on an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "Today he went to the palace with Taiwei Zhang to do something, but he slipped away in the middle of the way. Taiwei Zhang went to the Ministry of War to look for him, but he was not there at all. It’s worth it. You said that this kid used to be careless and undisciplined in Zhending Mansion, but now he has become a general in the court, and the officials still value him so much... Hey, when he comes back, I’ll see if I don’t teach him a lesson.”

Originally he was talking about Gao Chong, but when it came to Zhang Jun, Li Bangyan's focus immediately changed.

With the action of tasting tea, he looked around, put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Old madam, when I first met you in Gaojiazhuang, I felt that you had extraordinary knowledge and understanding of righteousness, but how could you Let General Gao mix with that old Zhang Jun?"

Mrs. Gao looked a little embarrassed: "Captain Zhang...isn't it good?"

Li Bangyan said with a smile: "What can I say about Zhang Jun? He is really eloquent with his mouth, but in official terms, this kind of person is called a fence-sitter. In human terms, he just adapts to the wind. General Gao is pure, honest and honest." , but don’t follow the example and become bad.”

Mrs. Gao's face became even more embarrassed: "Oh, I didn't notice it. I also want Erlang to make more friends in the DPRK and China, and learn more from them. Li Xiang, you also know that my Erlang doesn't have any evil intentions. Now I'm here As a general, you must always have someone to look after you in the court."

"The truth is true! Mrs. Gao still needs to find someone else to take care of her? The truth has been explained today. From now on, Erlang and I will share blessings and hardships. From now on, we will be members of our own family."

Mrs. Gao was noncommittal and could only pick up the tea bowl and change the subject: "What does Mr. Li think of this tea?"

Zhang Jun, who was hiding in the old lady's bedroom in the side hall, became angrier the more he listened: "You Li Bangyan, are you ridiculing me like this? Isn't it because you are afraid that I, Zhang Jun, will steal your limelight? Bah! You are sitting on the fence!"

"Old madam, Erlang is seventeen this year, right?"

"Almost eighteen."

Li Bangyan nodded: "Has Madam Gao ever had any idea to help Erlang get married and start a business?"

When Mrs. Gao heard this, she thought, Li Bangyan, you are here to come as a matchmaker?

It stands to reason that Gao Chong has indeed reached the age of discussing marriage. It should be a good thing for someone to come as a matchmaker.

But Mrs. Gao was in a dilemma.

Zhang Jun came just now, and after chatting for a few words, he also started to talk about matchmaking. Before he could start talking, Li Bangyan came.

Now Li Bangyan also has this intention.

How did Mrs. Gao answer?
  No matter how you answer it, it won’t work!
  Mrs. Gao had an idea and was about to use the argument that her second husband had just entered the imperial court to pay homage to the general, so he should serve the court and make contributions, and that he would not mention his children for the time being. However, before she could speak, the front hall door was opened. Pushing away: "Mom, my son wants to get a wife!"

"No!"

Mrs. Gao's neat response shocked Gao Chong. Shouldn't she consider this?
  Gao Chong was stunned at first, and when he saw that Li Bangyan was also in the hall, he was even more stunned. He complained in his heart: "It's so shameless."

Li Bangyan was even more stunned than Gao Chong, and quickly advised: "Mrs. Gao, don't be anxious first, why don't you listen first..."

Mrs. Gao paused with her cane in her hand: "You are less than eighteen years old. You should report to the court and make achievements. How can you think about the affair between a man and a woman all day long?"

Gao Chong was dumbfounded and pointed at himself and said: "Mom, your son and I are good at cutting silver in Taiyuan, but we can cut in Kaifeng..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Gao glared at Gao Chong with disgust: "Are you planning to rest on your merits for the rest of your life?"

Li Bangyan originally wanted to interrupt, but in this situation, when his mother was lecturing her son, it was his turn for an outsider to interrupt, so he could only drink tea awkwardly and glance at Gao Chong sympathetically from time to time.

If there were no outsiders, Gao Chong would generally not argue with his mother, but in front of Li Bangyan, he could not lose face, so he argued with reason: "Mother, I am a military general. Now the war is over. After all, even if you want to make great achievements, you still have no achievements to make. Why do you just rest on your credit book?"

Mrs. Gao snorted: "Mother told you the story of Yang Yixiao changing his ambition three times before, have you forgotten? Can't you change your ambition and do something else for the Song Dynasty?"

Li Bangyan squirted out a sip of hot tea, wiped it quickly and said with a smile: "The Yang Yixiao Mrs. Gao mentioned...but the Yang Yixiao I have heard of?"

Mrs. Gao was slightly unhappy: "I just started studying literature..."

"The epitaph says: I failed in literature for three years at first, then I started practicing martial arts. I fired an arrow in the school field and was a drum official. I was kicked out. I studied medicine and achieved success. I studied on my own and served it. Did I die?"

Mrs. Gao looked at Li Bangyan curiously: "Has Prime Minister Li heard this story?"

Li Bangyan nodded: "It's better to change your ambition three times than not."

"What I mean is that now that the war has just ended and the officials are interested in promoting business, Erlang can definitely go on the trade route and do something for the court..."

Li Bangyan murmured in his heart, Mrs. Gao knew about such a national policy?
  Obviously it couldn't be Gao Chong's words.

Since it can't be Gao Chong who said it, then only Zhang Jun...

Li Bangyan suddenly felt that the position he had finally earned was at risk.

Outside the Gaofu Hall.

Hearing that Mrs. Gao did not allow Gao Chong to get married, and also said some nonsense about asking Gao Chong Yizhi to go into business, Zhao Huanhuan couldn't help but want to rush in.

The two of them had actually discussed it before coming to Gao Mansion.

Gao Chong first visited his mother, and after obtaining her mother's consent, he allowed Zhao Huanhuan to enter the hall.

To prevent Zhao Huanhuan from arrogantly entering, everyone in the Gao family would have to come out to see the ceremony. Gao Chong felt that her mother was old and her legs and feet were not good.

Of course, Zhao Huanhuan could understand this filial piety. After thinking about it, whether she married outside or brought in a new wife, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still had to be handled well, so she accepted the favor.

But he didn't expect that Mrs. Gao would be so overbearing. How could Zhao Huanhuan not be angry?

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the window of the side bedroom slowly opening. A man in official clothes waved to him, then quietly jumped out of the window, and ran towards him in a cat-like manner: "Your Highness... Your Highness... you can't do it, you can't do it."

When the man came closer, Zhao Huanhuan saw clearly that it was Taiwei Zhang.

Zhao Huanhuan looked at the window of the side hall with surprise on her face. Through the window, she could see the bed tent inside. At first glance, it was not Gao Chong's bedroom.

Since he is not a favored one...

That's Mrs. Gao's...

How could Zhang Jun sneak out of Mrs. Gao's bedroom?
  Zhao Huanhuan felt that the world was spinning and her three senses were exploding.

Such a family tradition?

How will this mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship work out in the future?

"Your Highness, come here, let me take a moment to speak." Zhang Jun originally wanted to take Zhao Huanhuan aside and teach her how to deal with the matter now, but he must not rush in and get angry. Maybe the two were too close, and they touched each other when they raised their hands. Arrived Zhao Huanhuan's clothes.

The feeling of disgust, disgust, and disgust could no longer be suppressed. Zhao Huanhuan screamed and shouted: "Don't touch me! Stay away from me!"

This voice howled, and the three people in the hall were shocked.

He was a highly favored military general and had extremely quick reactions. He was the first one to rush out.

Next came Li Bangyan, who could be identified by his voice: "Your Highness?"

Mrs. Gao didn't know who was outside the hall, but suddenly a woman screamed in her courtyard, so Mrs. Gao naturally followed her out on crutches.

"Huan Huan, what's wrong with you?" Gao Chong asked with concern in his eyes.

Li Bangyan wanted to call him a gift, but when he saw Zhang Jun standing beside Zhao Huanhuan at a loss, with his hands stuck in the air and nowhere to put them, Li Bangyan reacted immediately and shouted sternly: "Zhang Jun! You You are so bold, you actually want to molest the person that General Gao loves!"

Zhang Jun wanted to die, and his hands were finally able to move. He made gestures towards Li Bangyan: "Li Xiang... no... it's not like this!"

Mrs. Gao's expression changed: "Is this the girl?"

Gao Chong quickly turned around: "That's right, mother, the girl I want to marry is..."

"We're not getting married!" Zhao Huanhuan suddenly threw away Gao Chong's hand, turned around and ran out of the house.

Gao Chong stared at Zhang Jun blankly and asked, "Did you touch her?"

Zhang Jun couldn't argue: "Erlang, no... no!"

Gao Chong didn't have time to listen to his explanation, so he turned around and started to chase her, but Mrs. Gao said in a deep voice: "Don't chase her! Whose daughter is so unruly? My Gao family can't afford it."

……

……

At night, Akihito Palace.

After a busy day, Zhao Fujin originally wanted to take a hot bath and rest early.

Before entering the dormitory, I heard someone making noise in the hall.

Listening to the voice, it sounds like a half-grown child.

Zhao Fujin couldn't remember for a moment that there was such a half-year-old child in any palace in the back garden of the palace.

Pushing open the palace door of the dormitory, I saw Yelu Yuliyan playing with a child with a string of candy figures: "Call Auntie, and Auntie will give it to you."

"No, I can't call you aunt, you should be called Er Niang!"

Before Yelu Yuliyan could sort out the relationship, the child jumped up and shouted: "Give me the second mother, give me the second mother."

Zhao Fujin laughed out loud when he saw this scene: "Wanyan Dan, she is no longer your second mother. She has already reconciled with your second uncle Wanyan Zongwang."

Wanyan Dan stopped fighting, turned around and tilted his head to look at Zhao Fujin, looking him up and down from head to toe: "Who are you? Are you a fairy?"

Zhao Fujin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. It was always a pleasure to be praised: "You kid is really good at talking."

Yelu Yuliyan knelt down, put his hands on Wanyandan's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Do you think she is as beautiful as a fairy?"

Wanyan Quan shook his head unusually calmly: "No! I mean, if she is not a fairy, how can she know my name? We have never met before."

Zhao Fujin's smile... stopped!
  "Ahem, Wanyan Dan, I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Fujin said as he walked to Ruantao and sat down: "I asked you to come to Kaifeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wanyan Dan's eyes lit up, he jogged forward a few steps, came to Zhao Fujin, raised his head and looked at Zhao Fujin carefully: "Huh, my second uncle didn't say that either. So pretty."

Zhao Fujin was instantly embarrassed and his toes dug into the ground.

Yelu Yuliyan, however, didn't think it was a big deal when watching the show. He pursed his lips and smiled: "Tell aunt, what else did your second uncle say?"

Wanyan Dan tilted his head and thought for a moment: "My second uncle also said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was unparalleled, wise and courageous, benevolent, and...and...oh, anyway, my second uncle said that he would let me come to Kaifeng. From now on, we must respect the Emperor of the Song Dynasty just as we respect the Emperor’s grandfather and my second uncle.”

"Huh..." Zhao Fujin thought to himself that Wanyan Sheng and Wanyan Zongwang were afraid that they would abuse Wanyan's bloodline: "Do you know why I asked you to come to Kaifeng?"

"I don't know!" Wanyan Dan shook his head.

"I asked you to be a hostage. If your emperor grandfather and your second uncle don't listen to me, I will spank you!"

"Then what if I disobey? Are you going to spank my second uncle?"

Zhao Fujin:......

There is no way to talk to this kid!

"In spring and summer, take Wanyan Dan to wash up, and tidy up a side hall for him. From now on, he will live in Akihito Palace."

Chunxia nodded with a smile, and asked before leaving: "What kind of treatment are you getting from an official family?"

"Royal clan members."

After Chunxia saluted and took Wanyan Qua's little hand out of the dormitory, Yelu Yuliyan asked: "Guan family, I have always wanted to ask you, why do you want a child to be a hostage?"

Zhao Fujin lay down on the soft couch with his arms and legs spread out: "Sister, do you think the Song Dynasty lacks a hostage from the Jin Kingdom?"

Yelu Yuliyan sat next to Zhao Fujin: "Then the official did this?"

Zhao Fujin stretched, turned over and sat up again and sighed: "We will always grow old. It is still necessary to train a Jin emperor who is pro-Song for the Song Dynasty."

Yelu Yuliyan was stunned: "How do the officials know that this child will be able to ascend the throne in the Kingdom of Jin in the future?"

"If I say he can, he will definitely be able to!"

Yelu Yuliyan smiled noncommittally: "Sister, you haven't made arrangements for the next generation of the Song Dynasty yet, so you haven't thought about your own affairs?"

"Hey, if I were a commoner, I would have gotten married long ago. But now I am obsessed with the Song Dynasty, who will I marry? My dowry is not something most people can carry." (End of Chapter)
