Hello Chang’an

Chapter 180 New ideas for turning waste into treasure

Chang Sui'an raised his hand and saluted the other party: "Prince Rong."

During the Mid-Autumn Flower Banquet, the other party suddenly asked to marry his sister in public. This move made Chang Sui'an feel a little complicated when facing the Prince Rong.

The young man who was still looking too thin despite his fur coat raised his hand and returned the greeting: "The husband of the Chang family..."

He seemed to want to say something to Chang Sui'an, but after taking a look at the people in the Hall of Heroes, he probably felt it was inconvenient to speak, so he just raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said with a kind face: "Mr. Chang family, Mr. Mr. Cui Liulang, let’s go in together.”

Cui Lang only nodded, raised his hand slightly, and said nothing more.

Anyone who wants to steal his master from his eldest brother will be regarded as an enemy.

When praying in the palace, Chang Sui An could notice that Prince Rong was always looking at him.

Chang Sui'an was a little confused.

It was not convenient to talk in the palace, but when he came out of the palace, Cui Lang directly pulled him away.

After Cui Lang took the person away, he did not forget to gossip: "...this Prince Rong looks gentle and harmless, but he may not be so in his heart. Just look at his marriage proposal at the hibiscus flower banquet last time. We can know that. This person is full of lies, Brother Sui'an, don't believe him easily."

Changsui An looked at Cui Lang seriously: "It's full of lies... How can you say this?"

"Just think about it, he is so weak and riddled with stubborn diseases. He can fall down when the wind blows. He can't protect anyone at all. Moreover, he may be gone one day. Anyone who marries him must be prepared to remain a widow. If he really likes Master, how could he have the heart to marry her?"

Chang Sui'an looked complicated.

Although the words are unethical, they do seem to make sense...?

Cui Langyan said firmly: "So, in my opinion, it must be a lie!"

Chang Sui'an thought subconsciously.

If Prince Rong is really lying, what is the other party's purpose?

He thought about it and asked.

Cui Lang was speechless for a moment: "What is the purpose..."

How does he know?

After all, he said Prince Rong's lies were all a temporary inspiration... To help his eldest brother get rid of his love rival, of course he had to speak the worst of him.

But facing Chang Sui'an's serious thinking, he could only say enigmatically: "It's hard to say."

Cui Lang's casual words made Chang Sui'an take the matter to heart.

Now that his father is not at home, he knows that he is not very smart. He can only remind himself to put up his ears and eyes, be more vigilant, and think more than ordinary people when encountering problems. Only in this way can he protect the Chang family as much as possible. Good sister.

The young man thought that hard work could make up for his weakness. When he went to the back mountain to pick chrysanthemums the next morning, he met Li Lu, the crown prince of Prince Rong, and secretly paid more attention.

Until the young man wearing a cloak came to him and invited him humbly and politely: "I have something to say with Mr. Changlang alone. I wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. Changlang?"

Chang Suian thought for a while and nodded.

The two of them left the crowd and went to the deserted riverside to talk.

Li Lu raised his hand and saluted Chang Sui'an, with an apologetic look on his face, and said: "One month ago at the Mid-Autumn Festival hibiscus flower banquet, I drank two glasses of wine, so I rashly mentioned my proposal to Mrs. Chang Sui'an. Afterwards, Looking back, there are so many things that were wrong..."

"However, these days I have no face and no opportunity to apologize to Mrs. Chang in person. I wonder if Sir Chang could convey my apology to Mrs. Chang on my behalf?"

The young man's words were sincere, and the shame and apology on his face did not seem to be fake.

Chang Sui'an returned the gift and said, "Prince Rong, don't worry, I will convey the original words."

He just agreed, and did not say anything like "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning" on Chang Suining's behalf to show his generosity or out of courtesy.

In his opinion, his sister's matter was no matter how big or small it was, and it should be up to his sister to decide whether to accept the apology from Prince Rong.

Prince Rong saluted again: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chang Lang."

Looking at the polite young man in front of him without any royal arrogance, Chang Sui'an hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Actually, I have something to ask Prince Rong..."

Then, without waiting for the other party's response, he asked directly: "Is Prince Rong's proposal to marry that day really because he fell in love with Ning Ning?"

Prince Rong was slightly startled.

Chang Sui'an looked at each other with big curious eyes.

He is originally very stupid and reckless, so it is reasonable to directly ask what is on his mind, right?

Bluntness is his best protective color at this time.

Just like the sword boy who is too oblivious to everyone, just like his sister's "brain is broken", he may also be able to make good use of his stupidity!

The young man consciously opened up a new way of thinking about turning waste into treasure.

Anyway, you won’t lose anything by asking. If you can really test something out, wouldn’t you make a profit?

Thinking of this, Chang Sui'an's eyes looking at Prince Rong became clearer and clearer.

Li Lu couldn't help but smile: "Of course it's because of my crush."

When he mentioned the girl at this time, there was an unnoticeable look in his smiling eyes: "I think there should be no one who doesn't like Mrs. Chang."

Chang Sui'an listened and couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "That's right...my sister is indeed very good."

Don't forget to comfort the other person: "Prince Rong, you are also very good."

He added: “Especially the vision!”

Li Lu laughed in surprise, but then nodded: "Yes, I do have good taste."

Chang Sui'an scratched the back of his head with some annoyance: "But everyone says that emotional matters are the most reluctant..."

Li Lu felt ashamed and said: "That's it. Those who favor our authority are deceived... My mistake this time is that I shouldn't have tried to force it."

Seeing that he was ashamed and remorseful, Chang Sui'an comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter, it didn't work anyway! Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big mistake!"

"..." Li Lu laughed again: "Mr. Chang is really just like Mrs. Chang, both are so frank and forthright."

Chang Sui'an smiled sheepishly: "My sister is much better at talking than I am... My father often says that my dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

The atmosphere is quite relaxed, or in other words, most people would be very relaxed if they were with Chang Sui'an.

Li Lu chatted with Chang Sui'an, and naturally mentioned Chang Sui'an's enlistment into the Xuance Army: "...I heard that Chang Langjun was admitted to the vanguard camp where the elite Xuance Army gathered. Such a heroic young man is really worthy of his admission. It’s enviable and admirable.”

He looked at the young man in front of him, with a mixture of admiration and yearning in his tone: "Given time, Mr. Chang Lang will definitely become a pillar general like General Chang."

At this point, he smiled a little ashamedly: "Now that the situation in the country is unstable, I also have the desire to serve, but I am sick and disabled and cannot bear the big responsibility... I am really ashamed to be a descendant of the Li family."

Chang Sui'an: "Everyone has his or her own strengths, Prince Rong, don't be discouraged by this. As my father always said, although I was born with great strength, I traded it for my brains!"

Li Lu smiled and put away those Xu Loneliness. Then he asked: "I wonder what Changlang-kun plans next? I heard that Governor Cui is going to lead his army to build border defenses in the north. Will Changlang-kun go with him?"

"The matter has not been decided yet..." At this point, Chang Sui'an hesitated: "Now that my father is not in Beijing, I don't feel comfortable leaving my sister at home alone, so I plan to discuss it with my sister before making any plans."

Li Lu looked at the green hills on the other side of the river: "Many times, it's difficult to balance the overall situation ahead and staying with your family."

Chang Sui'an then thought of the plight of Prince Rong, who was left alone in the capital, unable to reunite with his family. It was pitiful.

But there were some things that he couldn't comment on. Chang Sui'an paid attention to his sense of propriety and didn't say too much.

Changsui An Weiduo mentioned Prince Rong's family and only heard the other party mention his family.

"Before the Double Ninth Festival, I heard that General Chang had led his army to Huainan Road... The two sides are probably at war now, but I don't know how the battle is going?" Li Lu asked worriedly.

Chang Sui'an shook his head: "I haven't heard the news yet, so I can only wait for the battle report to return to Beijing."

He was concerned about his father's health and the war every day, but during the war it was difficult to get news back and forth between the two places, and he had no way of knowing his father's condition in time.

As if aware of his thoughts, Li Lu considered it for a moment and said: "On the occasion of the King of Huainan's birthday a few months ago, my father asked me to send people to congratulate him. Because there was trouble in Yangzhou, the people sent did not return for a while. , temporarily living in the Huainan Prince's Mansion... After he returns to the capital, if there is any news about General Chang, I will inform Mr. Chang Lang. "

Changsui An then saluted: "This will give me a lot of thanks to the Crown Prince!"

Huainan Wang Li Tong is the father of Li Yi, the coach who leads this team.

Huainan Road is close to Yangzhou. Before the army arrived, King Huainan was dispatching orders. The people sent by Crown Prince Rong lived in the Huainan Prince's Mansion and must have known more and more detailed information.

For Chang Sui'an, compared to those simple military reports, it would be better if he could know the specific situation of his father.

The river breeze came from the other side, and the thin young man said with a smile: "It's a big effort, no need to say thank you."

Chang Sui'an was not a fool, and he could naturally sense the other party's intention to make friends. He did not say anything in depth to the other party, but only kept this conclusion in his mind, planning to tell his sister tomorrow.

The two talked for a long time by the river, and occasionally they could hear the chatter and laughter of men and women picking chrysanthemums not far away.

Today is a rare sunny day. There are not only all kinds of chrysanthemums in the back mountain, but also red maple forests. Such a vast and beautiful scenery always attracts people to stay. The young people who have been bored for many days are not in a hurry to turn back at this time. .

"Girl, what are you looking for?" The maid beside Changsun Qiniang held a handful of blue chrysanthemums in her arms and looked at the girl who was looking around.

Changsun Xuan did not directly answer the maid's words, but only said in confusion: "If you pray in the Goddess Tower, don't you need to pick chrysanthemums as an offering?"

The maid suddenly realized: "You are looking for the girl from the Chang family."

Chang Sunxuan did not deny it: "I thought she would also come to pick chrysanthemums."

The maid lowered her voice and asked a little strangely: "It seems that the Chang family girl is no longer among the candidates for the Crown Princess... Why is she still paying so much attention to her?"

They are no longer opponents, so naturally there is no need to pay attention anymore.

"What do you know?" Zhang Sunxuan bent down and picked another green chrysanthemum that was blooming just right, and said in a good mood: "Because we are not opponents and don't have to be pushed to fight, we are more likely to become friends."

The maid said "Ah" in surprise.

The co-authored girl is not wary of her opponent, but wants to make friends with him?

Changsun Xuan straightened up with a smile.

My father said that after returning to Beijing this time, the matter of the crown princess will be settled.

After praying for blessings tomorrow, I should be able to return to Beijing.

The current situation is not stable. For example, among those who followed Xu Zhengye to raise troops in Yangzhou were her mother's distant relatives and nephews. These are hidden dangers and troubles.

But since the empress ascended the throne, the eldest grandson's family has been in trouble. Her father said that she only needs to do what she should do.

She is confident that she will be a good princess in the days to come and become the support and pride of the eldest grandson's family. Although she is a woman, she can shine alongside her father and brother in the family.

Speaking of which, she was suddenly curious, what would her future friend want to do most?

Her intuition told her that the girl who could attract her to get close must also know what she wanted.

For example, at the hibiscus flower banquet, the other party rejected Crown Prince Rong and Governor Cui successively, which shows that his will is firm and not disturbed by external things at all.

This curiosity made Chang Sunxuan sigh in her heart.

Really, I really want to go and be friends with the other person right now, and listen to the other person’s secrets and thoughts.

At this time, an orange-striped butterfly flapped its wings and flew past Zhang Sunxuan's eyes.

It's a dead leaf butterfly.

Her eyes followed the butterfly subconsciously, and she saw it flying towards the fiery maple forest.

Chang Sunxuan held the green chrysanthemum in one hand and the dress in the other, and said casually: "Let's go and have a look in front."

There is also a stream flowing through the maple forest. In a stream with floating maple leaves, two blurry figures are reflected.

"...In the past month, I have been really concerned about the prince's injury. I have sent letters to your residence many times, but I have never received a reply."

The girl spoke softly: "I didn't feel at ease until I saw the Crown Prince in the imperial mausoleum this time."

Ming Jin raised his eyebrows: "Have you sent me letters many times?"

Feng Min nodded lightly and raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Majesty...didn't you see my letter?"

Ming Jin said nonchalantly: "I think it was when I was recovering from my injuries that my mother had someone stop me."

His mother always behaved this way.

Feng Min bit her lip gently and lowered her head: "Madam, she doesn't seem to like me as much as she did before. Is it because of my grandmother?"

Ming Jin slightly bent closer to her, lowered his voice and asked knowingly: "What do you want her to do?"

He was suddenly so close, and the hot breath when he spoke was in her ear. Feng Min's cheeks heated up, and her voice became softer: "I...of course I care..."

Ming Jin didn't seem to hear her words, or he didn't care what she was saying. He raised his hand and landed on her hair: "Hey, this hairpin looks familiar..."

Feng Min: "This is exactly the pair that the prince gave me before..."

She came to see him with her hairpin on.

But, he didn’t remember it?

Before she had time to think about it, she noticed that the hand in her hair slowly moved down and landed on her hot face.

The voice asked in her ear: "You want to enter the door of my Duke Ying's mansion, right?"

Feng Min's heart was beating like thunder. Faced with this too straightforward question, Feng Min didn't know how to answer.

She wanted to maintain the dignity of her daughter's family, but was afraid of missing the opportunity, so she nodded slightly, mustered up the courage to whisper: "I...I have always admired the prince sincerely."

I finished writing half an hour early today and will work hard to make up for it tomorrow. Good night everyone.
