chapter 2

Logically speaking, it is time for a woman to talk about marriage when she is fifteen or sixteen years old. It is about the same as the age of eighteen or nineteen. Wu Zhen is now twenty-six years old and has not yet married. It can be said that he is the only one in Chang'an City.

Since she was sixteen years old, her father, Duke Yu and his sister, Queen Wu, were worried about her marriage. In recent years, she has actually talked about several marriages to her one after another, but in the end they all ended up in failure.

This sounds incredible. After all, with her background and appearance, even if there are some flaws in her reputation, there are always people who are willing to marry her, but they have been wasting their time until now. The main reason is that Wu Zhen is too hard to do anything.

Her first marriage was about Fan Langjun, the Speaker of Fan Shang's family, who was of the same family as Fan Langjun, who looked pretty good. It would be fine if Wu Zhen was as comfortable as his ordinary daughter, but she was used to it. After the two families were selected, she went to find Fan Langjun one day and invited him to hunt outside the city. I don't know what Fan Langjun encountered while hunting. It is said that he was so scared that he pissed his pants. After he came back, he became seriously ill. When he recovered, he trembled when he saw Wu Zhen and even said something bad. How could he continue to talk about marriage, so he had to leave it alone.

Later, he talked about the marriage. Huang Shizhong's son Huang Langjun, Huang Langjun is a mighty man with a tall figure. Both Duke of Yu and Empress Wu were very satisfied. But one day, Wu Zhen went to find this future husband and competed with him on a whim to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he won a great victory. This was awful. Huang Langjun respected her as a man, and felt ashamed of herself, and wanted to take her as her teacher. After being rejected by her, she wanted to become sworn brothers with her. In short, the marriage did not come true. Wu Zhen had a good brother. Now Huang Langjun has already married and his son is several years old.

Another time, the son of Zuo Sanqi Changshi, which was even worse this time. Wu Zhen and Lu Langjun had a fight before Na Cai. The reason for this was a bit complicated. Speaking of which, Lu Langjun is very similar to Wu Zhen, and they both like to stay in the music shop. Lu Langjun is fascinated by a brothel named Huzhu. Huzhu lady disdained Lu Langjun, but often went out for a trip with Wu Zhen. During that time, it was said that Huzhu lady was good at polishing a mirror, so she fell in love with Wu Zhen. Lu Langjun was envious and jealous of Wu Zhen. The two families were preparing to talk about marriage, but Lu Langjun naturally refused to accept it. He came to Wu Zhen to find Wu Zhen for bad luck. In the end, Wu Zhen was beaten into a pool of mud and screamed. The relationship between the two was still tense.

The marriage I mentioned later was purely a coincidence. After two of the poor-fated Chen Langjun, he suddenly fell ill and died.

The fifth time, the sixth time...

...

Until now, Wu Zhen is getting older and his reputation is getting worse, so he naturally becomes even more unfamiliar. So she freely spends her days freely. Whether she takes the brothels on a spring outing in the lake or leads the playboys around to cause trouble, she is doing more and more easily. Even the Duke of Yu has no hope for his second daughter's marriage. He chants scriptures, plants flowers, and drinks tea in the Buddhist temple every day, just wanting to be a bald man who is invisible.

After receiving a letter from her eldest daughter, Duke Yu was so excited that he even fell into his own Muyu. The eldest daughter is different from her second daughter. She has always been reliable. It is naturally good for the person who can make her praise her. It seems that the second daughter can finally get married this time!

Wu Zhen asked, and saw his father suddenly become stunned, then tears filled his eyes, as if he was in his grief and melancholy, he couldn't help but hammer his arm again, and asked curiously again: "Father, who do you and sister want me to tell me about the husband?"

The Duke of Yu came to his senses and said, "It's Concubine Mei's nephew."

Wu Zhen thought for a while, and asked with a laugh and cry: "Concubine Mei's nephew, Mei Si? This kid is only seventeen, so he is too young, and he has been playing behind my butt since he was a child. I know him very well, and he will not dare to marry me if he has ten courage."

Mei Si's respect for her was like a fire-headed soldier who admired the general on the battlefield, but it had nothing to do with the love between men and women. If Mei Si wanted Mei Si to marry her one day, Mei Si would have to be scared to death on the spot.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Duke Yu sighed and explained: "It's not Mei Si, that boy Mei Si is not in tune with it. Your Highness tells you the Mei family's Dalang."

Wu Zhen touched his chin and recalled it in his mind. He really didn't remember who the Mei family Dalang was. As the most friendly dandy in Chang'an City, she knew almost all the children of the official family, but she had no impression of this Mei family Dalang, which was strange.

"Why can't I remember that there is such a person? You guys are not fooling around, right?" Wu Zhen knocked on the small table in front of him.

The Duke of Yu stroked his beard, "The Dalang of the Mei family is Mei Si's cousin. His father was the former governor of Quzhou. He had been in Quzhou before. It is said that his parents died a few years ago, and he was left alone in Quzhou. He returned to Chang'an a year ago and is now serving as a ward. He is a rude person and is just right to govern you."

Wu Zhen, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice and the eldest son of the Mei family, squinted his eyes. She had never heard of it for a year in Chang'an. It seemed that this person was really low-key.

Seeing her expression, Duke Yu immediately became alert, "You are not allowed to mess around again no matter what!"

"Father, you are too worried, it's fine if others don't know, but don't you know it yet? The marriages in the past were not all my fault." Wu Zhen looked innocent and played with the whip on his waist, asking enthusiastically: "How old is Mei Dalang?"

The Duke of Yu had already rushed into the palace early, and naturally, Mei Dalang had already understood the situation clearly from his eldest daughter, so he replied: "The name of Mei Dalang is Zhuyu, and this year is exactly twenty-two."

Wu Zhen leaned his arm on the table and smiled, "Mei Zhuyu? This name sounds good, but isn't twenty-two years old too young? He is four years younger than me. Even if you are in a hurry to get me out, you can't lie to him. You have just returned from Quzhou for a year and probably haven't appreciated my name yet. Don't be fooled by you and marry me, and you will regret it in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Duke Yu's face was sunk and was about to speak up to educate his daughter, but Wu Zhen suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Father, I'll go to the palace to meet my sister and ask me what kind of person Mei Dalang is."

She walked lightly, and she had already stepped over the couch and ran to the front yard in just a few seconds. Duke Yu could not stop him. He covered his chest with anger and breathed heavily. He could only point at the door and shouted: "Give me some peace, don't scare Mei Dalang!" No one knows that his daughter is better than his father. Duke Yu knew that Wu Zhen could definitely do such a thing.

The door without figures fell back with another head. Wu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a much better temper in the past two years. I will not scare my young man for no reason." I just comforted my poor father.

Wu Zhen went out, but he did not bring any servants, rode his horse "Red Tassel" and ran towards the direction of the Daming Palace.

Since the renovation of the Daming Palace was completed, the emperor and the empress moved to the Daming Palace, and there were only a group of officials and officials left in the original Tai Chi Palace. The Daming Palace is very close to the Daningfang where the Duke of Yu is located, and will arrive after a short ride. As the sister of Empress Wu's mother and compatriots, Wu Zhen was very favored by Empress Wu, and even the emperor was very fond of her. Therefore, she had an extraordinary honor to go to the Daming Palace to see her sister at any time.

When Wu Zhen arrived, Empress Wu had just woken up from her nap and rubbed her forehead slightly tiredly while sitting on the couch. Concubine Mei, who was sitting beside her, got up considerately and stood behind her, rubbing her temples gently to relieve the headache.

Wu Zhen sat down at the bottom and saw the relationship between his queen and Concubine Mei, and sighed in his heart. Although it was not the first time he saw these two people reunited with each other, he couldn't help but feel that the jade crown on the emperor's brother-in-law's head became even greener.

Today's emperor loves musical instruments very much, and is good at writing lyrics and composing music. He ignores the government affairs. Empress Wu has been assisting in the administration for several years. The emperor respects her very much, but everyone knows that the emperor's favorite is Concubine Mei, who is good at singing and dancing instruments. This Concubine Mei, who is born in a noble family, is as cold and cold as she is almost everyone, including the emperor. She is only tender and tender in her eyes, just like now.

"Sister, are you getting better?" Concubine Mei exhaled like orchid, with a concerned face.

Queen Wu supported her head and smiled at her, "It's much better, don't be busy, sit down." After that, she held her soft-witted pair and pulled her to her side. Concubine Mei sat softly beside her, but she was not idle, so she started pouring water for her again.

Wu Zhen: If you don’t know, you think these two are the real sisters.

Empress Wu drank water with Concubine Mei's hand, glanced at Wu Zhen's expression, and asked her with a smile, "Do you understand?"

Wu Zhen: "Your Highness, I heard that you chose a husband for me. Is it the Mei family's Dalang?"

Queen Wu: "Yes, I have seen it. I am a good husband. I am worthy of you."

Wu Zhen glanced at Concubine Mei and said with a sarcasm, "I heard that it is Concubine Mei's nephew. Could it be Concubine Mei who blew the wind beside you for your highness?"

Queen Wu had long been used to her nonsense, and Bafeng responded without moving, "Yes."

Concubine Mei pursed her lips and smiled. She was in her thirties, but this smile was still as pretty and charming as a girl in her 28 years old. She said, "My eldest nephew is self-disciplined and has no concubines and concubines. His parents died early. You don't need to serve your parents. Moreover, he is calm and will not bully you. He is really a good match. Your Highness is worried about your marriage. If this happens, I will also fulfill my thoughts for Your Highness."

After hearing this, Wu Zhen thought it seemed to be good, but... she asked Concubine Mei curiously: "Dare you ask Concubine Sister, where did Mei Dalang offend you?"

Concubine Mei: "Why did you say this?"
