295. Male marriage and female marriage
The father and daughter of the Fan family face the same problem, which is the lack of children. Now that Fan Chong has hope, Fan Taohua is of course looking forward to the Fan family's successor, and can't help but be happy for her father, but when she thinks of herself, she is a little sad.
Of course the emperor also wanted a legitimate son, but he was not worried. He had no legitimate son and had a illegitimate son. As an emperor, as long as he had no health problems, he didn't have to worry about his offspring at all. Anyone who the women in the world would marry would be allowed.
Even Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan, who has stepped down, can be a big student at home, let alone a genuine emperor?
He is now anxious for his second brother Liu Mao. Although Liu Mao was three years older than the emperor, he has never gotten married. He just indulged in military affairs every day, enjoying it and not caring about his marriage at all.
As the de facto family of the three brothers, Liu Gong, Liu Gong, of course, had to worry about his younger brother. He suggested to Liu Mao that many women from wealthy families, but Liu Mao showed no interest at all. He always said, "The world is not determined, why do you want a family?"
As a time traveler with a modern soul, the little emperor felt that he was not old at the age of twenty, and there were many modern men who were not married at the age of thirty, and he was still a flower at the age of forty! However, Liu Mao always talked about the fact that the world was not unified, and the emperor was unwilling to take the blame, so he was also concerned about it.
Before this matter could be discussed, another good news came out, and the grand tutor Liu Xiaqing was married.
Liu Xiaqing took off his official position and was relaxed. She enjoyed her happiness at home every day. She couldn't help but feel full and warm, thinking about things that were messy.
He is now a high-ranking official of the court and a marquis with thousands of households. I don’t know how many people want to catch up with this marriage. Some people in the court acted as a matchmaker for him and raised the ministers’ daughters of the right age. Liu Xiaqing shook his head and just replied: “They are all knowledgeable people, and I, the lady of my family, are not worthy of me."
The old boss Fan Chong was also worried about him, but in the end he was helpless, so he said, "You are just a cattle herding man. Why do you just look down on such a good daughter to marry you? Why don't you think of it? Why do you tell me who you like?"
Liu Xiaqing said: "I, Old Liu, don't know a big word, so I know that marriage should be of equal status. I am a person who serves animals and is not very suitable for those knowledgeable families!"
"Then what you mean, if a cattle raiser has to find someone to raise him?" Fan Chong was a little amused and crying.
A look of slightness suddenly appeared on Liu Xiaqing's ugly face, and he stuttered: "It's not necessary to raise cattle..."
"It's so fucking hard for eight knots to make a fuss!" Fan Chong got angry and waved his hand, "I don't care about your troubles!" He shook his hand and left.
When he saw his daughter next time, he talked about this with Fan Taohua and scolded Liu Xiaqing for being ungrateful. Fan Taohua suddenly said, "Is he a fond of the sister of the Pang family?"
Fan Chong was stunned, then slapped his forehead, "It's true that the young boy is a horse-raising family and is a match for the cattle breeding family. Does Liu Xiaqing want to marry his sister?"
Grandma Chang is already thirty-seven this year and has never been married. Because everyone says that she is strange and unkind, no one dares to come to propose marriage.
Fan Chong laughed, "It must be so! Miss Pang was quite beautiful back then. Many men in the army were thinking about it, but she was as cold as an iceberg. She didn't give anyone a good face, which scared everyone away."
Fan Chong found Liu Xiaqing with great enthusiasm. When he mentioned the eldest girl, Liu Xiaqing didn't say anything for a while. Fan Chong thought there was no chance again, so he turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaqing grabbed him and said, "Three elders, I, Old Liu, I will listen to you. I will marry whoever you ask me to marry... I don't know if they want it or not?"
"What's wrong with me? One raises cattle and the other raises horses. The man is not talented and the woman is not handsome, and she is a perfect match!"
Liu Xiaqing was a little unhappy, "Who said she was so beautiful, the girl from the Gong family looked so beautiful!"
He really had the idea of Grandma Chang back then, and he would come to the other person if he had nothing to do, but Grandma Chang never answered him. He chased him tightly and would even curse, "Get out!"
This kind of aloof style completely conquered the cattle-herding boy Liu Xiaqing, and the eldest lady became a cinnabar mole on his heart. It seemed that she was born to grow there and could never be removed.
Fan Chong was just doing things, so he immediately wrote a letter, sending someone to Chen Cang to ask about what he meant. When he saw the letter, he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, someone who was old and beautiful girl was willing to take over. He immediately returned to Chang'an and went home in person to ask what his grandma Chang meant.
Miss Pang was probably old and lost her original aura. She actually responded in one go, and it was done just like that.
Liu Xiaqing, who was a groom, was as happy as a fool at the wedding banquet. He couldn't stand firm when drinking. He said to everyone: "My family is a cattle breeder, the Gong family raises horses. My family only had thirty acres of land at that time, but the Gong family had 50 acres of good land. The Gong family is better than my Liu family. My old Liu is really a step ahead!"
The emperor personally traveled to the Liu family to stand up for Liu Xiaqing, making the wedding one of the most solemn events in the capital recently. When the ministers saw Liu Xiaqing's saintly favor, they flocked to him. Almost all the nobles in the capital came to congratulate him, including Liu Jun, the chief historian of Dou Rong, Hexi in Chang'an.
Liu Jun's focus was not on Liu Xiaqing, and his eyes were attracted by the King of Hejian Liu Mao.
Liu Jun said to Ban Biao, who came to Chang'an with him, "Hejian Wang Yingzi was so vigorous that he was a hero in the world, which reminded me of a good family."
Ban Biao asked, "Does Liu Changshi also want to be a mediator?"
Liu Jun said: "The general has a daughter, 18 years old this year, with outstanding appearance and great literary talent, but she doesn't like literati. She often says that she wants to marry a general, but in my opinion, these two are just a perfect match."
Liu Jun was Dou Rong's confidant and often went to and from his mansion. He not only heard of his daughter who was a scholar and a martial arts girl, but also met several times. When he saw Liu Mao at this time, he immediately felt that these two men were handsome and beautiful women, and were made of heaven and earth.
Ban Biao said: "It's not clear that the general will go. If he can return to Chang'an, it will be a good family."
Dou Rong participated in the Kunyang War and admired the heroic Liu Xiu very much. When he learned that Liu Xiu was the emperor in Hebei, he wanted to submit, but the distance was far away and could not be connected. When Liu Yu rose to Chang'an, the popularity of the limelight was gone for a while, and he also caught the eyes of the powerful Hexi. Dou Rong put this matter down and continued to sit and watch the world.
Two years later, the Han Dynasty in Chang'an captured the northern counties, greatly strengthened its power, and completely isolated Hexi and Hebei. If Dou Rong wanted to return to the Han Dynasty at this time, Liu Yu was his best choice, but the shock to him in the Battle of Kunyang was too strong that he still could not make up his mind.
Liu Jun has traveled to Chang'an twice. Seeing that Chang'an is more prosperous than before, the people of Guanzhong live and work in peace and contentment, and the army and horses of Jianshi Han are strong. The balance in his heart has slowly tilted. He thought about returning to Hexi and persuaded Dou Rong to submit as soon as possible.
Now Liu Yu has to pacify the west and send troops to Hangu Pass to fight for hegemony. There is still a place where Hexi is needed. Dou Rong is still an important chess piece and can be valued by Chang'an. If the general situation in the world is settled and Hexi becomes an isolated island, then he will lose weight when he surrenders.
In the winter of the third year of the founding of the world, although there were wars everywhere, Chang'an City was peaceful. At this time, another envoy came to Hexi and gave the emperor a big gift:
