Chapter 540: Matchmaker
Cheng Xiaolian shook his head when he heard this: "Although Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo army invaded Chang'an, the irrigation system was seriously damaged, our people are farming for a living, without the foundation of their lives, the grain in Xi'an City has to be continuously transported from other places, whether it is Daniel Zhang or Cai Yurong, as long as we seize this point and cut off our grain route, the national capital will be lost, and once we lose the national capital, our reputation will definitely plummet." β
Confucius nodded: "That's fine, I will always return to Beijing City in the future, and it will not be too late to build a new country at that time, now there is no military disaster and food shortage in Chengdu Mansion, and it makes sense that the temporary country capital will be placed there, but in this case, His Royal Highness will have to return to Chengdu if he becomes a relative." β
"I'm not saying it, everything depends on you, if it's freezing today, it's unlikely that there will be a war."
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Does Master Kong have anything else?" β
"Sichuan has ushered in a large number of migrated people these days, among which the fish and dragons are mixed, do you want to sort it out?"
"Don't do it for the time being, we need people to fill Sichuan now, once combed it is easy to cause panic, and then the people who came were scared away, and those who didn't come didn't dare to come, Sichuan is still a dead place, let them find out the news, there are Jinyi guards, they can't afford to turn over the big storm."
Confucius nodded: "In this case, I will go back to arrange, since His Royal Highness promised to get married on the ninth day of the first month of next month, it is better to go back to Chengdu Mansion one step earlier, and besides, I heard that the girl has a daughter's family, and I must always listen to the opinions of my father." β
Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will take her to Chengdu Mansion after arranging the things at hand." β
"When the old minister came, I heard that His Highness occasionally felt cold, and His Highness still has to take care of his body."
"You also have to take care of your health, but you and General Yuan pulled me to grow up, and I have to wait for you to come and see this peaceful and prosperous world."
"Your Highness, just rest assured, the Ming Dynasty will not return to the country one day, and the old minister will not be willing to die one day."
"I said Master Kong, now that you are considered famous, it is time to tell your real name."
"The two capitals have not been recovered, so don't mention the name."
"I didn't expect Master Kong to have such ambitions."
"If there is nothing else, the lower official will leave first."
"Second Uncle Kongγγγγγγ It's okay, you need to take care of yourself. β
Confucius laughed and didn't speak, turned around and walked out. Cheng Xiaolian was a little resentful, now that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more rules, even Confucius is alienated from him. But he also understands that Confucius is leading by example, he is so well-behaved, if someone dares to disobey him by following Cheng Xiaolian from the beginning, he can cut off that person's head.
After Confucius left, Cheng Xiaolian also began to prepare for the relevant matters of returning to Chengdu, and the most headache for him was how to tell Wen Duruo about it.
He has never had this kind of experience in later generations, but he has seen this kind of routine in film and television dramas, why I propose to you today and hope that you can marry me tomorrow. This sounds very exciting, but it is very difficult to say it with his mouth, he is embarrassed to tell the girl, on the auspicious day of the ninth day of the first month of next month, let's get married.
Of course, this is also the reason why he doesn't have much experience, if a veteran goes directly, he won't hesitate at all, but on the one hand, he is a little embarrassed in his heart. On the other hand, he thought that it would be too abrupt to talk to the girl like this.
Yang Youcai was walking in at this time, and was startled when he saw Cheng Xiaolian's sad appearance: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" Could it be that Cai Yurong started to attack? β
Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "Cai Yurong didn't attack, but the old ministers of Chengdu Mansion began to attack." β
Yang Youcai thought about it and understood, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, the three joys of life, the long drought is a rain, the old acquaintance in another country, and the candle night in the cave room." Besides, didn't you untie your heart when we left Chengdu Mansion, why did you bring up the old thing again? β
"I'm untying my heart, who knows I've met Miss Wen again, how do you say I should tell him about this?"
Yang Youcai scratched his head: "Where is this kind of thing mentioned to other girls in person, they are all looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage to their parents, and if the parents agree, the girl will naturally agree." In my opinion, it is better for me to be cheeky and mention it to the old man Wen, and when the time comes, I will push the boat down the river, and Your Highness should not forget me as a big matchmaker. β
Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "It's sixteen now, I promised them that they would get married on the ninth day of the first month of next month, and you can hurry up if you want to rush to Chengdu Mansion from here, but you still have to bring Mr. Wen back to persuade Miss Wen, and when we go back, the nineteenth of next month will be over." β
Yang Youcai frowned: "But Your Highness, aren't you in love with Miss Wen?" The parents' orders can be reduced or not, let's get a matchmaker's words, become a relative first, and then the wood will be completed, even if he hears that the old man wants to regret it, who would dare to marry his girl in the entire Ming Dynasty? β
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "What's the matter, Lord Yang wants to be this matchmaker again?" β
Yang Youcai waved his hand again and again: "No, never, never." If this was a few hundred years ago, the subordinates would be exiled by the rod when they talked to the master's mother, and how could this kind of thing be made by a stinky man to say it, a woman must be found, these three words can know whether the girl is willing or not, if you are willing, let's go straight to Chengdu Mansion, Your Royal Highness should not meet with Miss Wen, so as not to be embarrassed, and get married directly when you get there. If you don't want to, haha, it depends on Your Highness, whether Your Highness is the overlord with a bow or a sword to break the love thread, but it doesn't matter about Lao Yang. β
Cheng Xiaolian kicked Yang Youcai's ass: "The overlord is hard on your uncle." β
Yang Youcai walked out of the door with a smile: "Between the monarch and the minister, what kind of system will it become, what kind of system will it become!" β
Cheng Xiaolian was also worried at this time, since he came to this era, all he knows is a bunch of rough old men, where to find a confidant aunt and aunt to match, if you find a mouthy, spreading rumors is a trivial matter, and if the media can't say it, it's a big deal.
But where to find a caring lady at this timeγγγγγγ Thinking of the word aunt, Cheng Xiaolian immediately thought of Aunt Jing, Aunt Jing is a good person, and everyone knows each other, she has to be busy.
Thinking of this, Xiaolian immediately shouted: "Yang Youcai, immediately prepare pastries and meat, and go out with me." β
Yang Youcai just walked a few steps, rubbed his butt and walked back: "Your Highness, I hurt the root of the villain's thigh just now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out today." β
"Hmph, if you don't go, I'll tell those old ministers that if you don't want to help me talk about matchmaking, this family matter will be over."
Yang Youcai hurriedly jumped up: "Don't, if you want those old ministers to worry about me, I won't be good in this life, can't I go, isn't it just pastries and meat, I'll go and prepare." β
