Vol 2 Chapter 81: Negotiate marriage

The emperor smiled and asked, "I know that Ye Xi and the little girl in Su Mansion are senior brothers and sisters. I don't know if the old Patriarch knows the little girl in Su Mansion?"
Patriarch Ye smiled and nodded, "I know, when I was young, Xi'er took him back to Ye's house twice, she was a little girl like a skin monkey."
The emperor heard the words with a smile, "Exactly, I also think that she is just a leather monkey, or a leather monkey that doesn't leave her hands. She is very skinny."
Patriarch Ye smiled and said, "I'm used to seeing everybody's lady, then look at such a little girl, she is like that little grass in the mountains, she is energetic and lively, not afraid of wind and rain, others are tender and pitiful. , But she never knew what that delicate was."
The emperor laughed and nodded, "Exactly, exactly."
The Ye family master said, "The minister heard that the emperor and the queen mother were going to give her a marriage. The emperor liked Ye Chang and the queen mother liked Xiaoguo's uncle. The marriage has not been settled, and it is delaying."
The emperor said with a smile, "The head of the country does not like that little girl. The queen mother also accepted the idea of ​​giving a marriage a few days ago, which is quite compliant with me." When the words fell, he looked at the Ye Patriarch, "If I give Ye Chang and her What does the old Patriarch think about the marriage?"
Family Master Ye smiled, "The old man likes that little girl. Earlier, when General Su was reinstated, when he was living in the countryside, Xier brought her back to Ye's house twice. They were in the relationship of senior brothers and sisters, so the old man thought To facilitate this matter, it is not bad for the little girl to be the old man’s granddaughter-in-law. Now it is the same for the granddaughter-in-law."
The emperor laughed, "The Ye family is the home of the prosperity of the times, and the little girl is afraid that she may not adapt to the rules of the Ye family."
Patriarch Ye smiled, "My grandson doesn't have any rules, not to mention, the rules are dead, and people are alive, but it doesn't matter." When the words fell, he smiled, "There are no rules in the grandson's house. The Ye family is more suitable for her."
The emperor smiled and said, "It is not the granddaughter-in-law, or the grand-grand-law. The old family master is very lucky." After the words fell, he smiled, "I also like that little girl. Looking at it, Wang Sunguiyi, the residence of the Minister of Civil and Martial Arts of the Manchu Dynasty. , Even my sons are counted. Ye Chang's kid can match her."
Patriarch Ye smiled, "Since the Queen Mother has no more opinions, the emperor will give the marriage a decree. I heard that Su Mansion has no opinions. During Ye Chang's serious injury, Madam Su was busy and helped a lot."
The emperor smiled and said, "Mrs. Su doesn't have any comments, but Lord Wang and General Su have some opinions."
"Oh?" Patriarch Ye looked at the emperor, "What's your opinion? Do you dislike Ye Chang's reputation for being so bad these years?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Not at all. General Su deliberately wants to stay with the little girl for two more years. Lord Wang is too unruly to abandon the Royal Palace of Rong'an. I am afraid that the two will get together in one place, even less decent."
Patriarch Ye laughed, "It turned out to be for this. I heard that General Su and his wife love their daughters very much. They are like a treasure and are in their palms. If you want to stay for two years, it is natural to decide the marriage first and get married two years later. As for Lord Wang, I heard that he was arresting a little girl to learn the rules and think about copying scriptures when I only came to Beijing. When the marriage is set, he can also properly discipline the housekeeper Ye Chang. He is watching the two in Beijing, never It won't look good."
The emperor laughed, "What the old Patriarch said is that when I turned back, I took time out and discussed with Su Che. If he doesn't have any objections, I will make a decision."
Patriarch Ye smiled and nodded, "For many years, my long-cherished wish has been to hope that Ye Chang will grow up and An An Shun Shun. If I can fix his marriage while I am in Beijing, it will also make me deeply gratified."
The emperor said, "Back then, I prevented my old Patriarch from taking Ye Chang back to Ye's house. The old Patriarch has trusted me for many years. Although he is a little mad and poor manners, he has grown up. He used to be Anshun, but he has suffered a lot recently. The assassination also blocked a palm for me, and almost something went wrong. It was because I felt that when he grew up, he was a little negligent in taking care of him, and he almost caused a big mistake. The old Patriarch does not blame me."
Patriarch Ye hurriedly said, "He has grown up now, and he can't always rely on the emperor for shelter. He knows that the emperor has treated him extremely well these years, and when he encounters danger, he is blocking the emperor's hand to repay the emperor. How can the old man blame the emperor?" After a pause, he said, "The old man thinks that a person is more arrogant, more arrogant, cynical, unruly, not afraid of these, but I am afraid that he is truly unadult without kindness and gratitude. This time the old man came to Beijing. Thank you, the emperor."
The emperor said with a smile, "Although his surname is Ye, in the final analysis, he is still the Liu family with the same blood as me. The old Patriarch does not have to thank me. If the old Patriarch does not blame me, I will be content."
Patriarch Ye and the emperor played chess for half a day in the palace, chatting for half a day, and after lunch, the emperor personally sent Patriarch Ye back to Rong'an Palace. Such an honor, for a time, the Manchu civil and military heard the wind and sighed, worthy of being the head of the Ye family, a prominent family in Jiangnan.
Although Patriarch Ye hadn't set foot in the capital for many years, he still let the emperor treat him so politely and kindly, that few people in the world could do it.
After the emperor sent Patriarch Ye back to Rong'an Prince's Mansion, he entered Ye Chang's yard and visited Ye Chang by the way. Everything was well thought out and extremely natural.
Ye Chang was still lying on the bed, playing with the things that Su Fengnuan gave him. There were a few piles on the bed, some of which he held in his hand to play with, some of which he left aside.
Two large iron boxes were placed in the room, with the lid open, and the contents were piled up with dazzling objects.
After the emperor stepped up to the threshold, he saw his messy house and shook his head helplessly, "Your house is about to be turned into a pig's nest. According to me, I really should marry you a wife sooner and come and pick it up. Clean up this room."
Ye Chang heard the words, "The married daughter-in-law is not necessarily a housekeeper." When the words fell, he bent his mouth, glanced at the two big metal boxes, and said, "But she only needs to love me as much. Just play."
The emperor was exasperated when he heard the words, "Do you still feel reasonable to say that?" When the words fell, he also looked at the two big iron boxes and asked, "What are the contents inside? Like a clever toy?"
Ye Chang lazily said, "You read that right, it's a clever plaything to relieve boredom, but it's better, it's more fun than Jiulianhuan."
The emperor smiled and said, "Where did you come from? Why did you play so much?"
Ye Chang glanced at the emperor, hooked the corner of his mouth, "Sent from the Su Mansion."
The emperor knew it, "That little girl must have collected it."
Ye Chang let out an "um".
The emperor came closer, took out something from the tin box, played with it, and smiled, "It's all good things."
Ye Chang lazily said, "There is a better thing."
The emperor looked at him when he heard the words, received a smile, and said, "Where is it? Show me."
Ye Chang took out the slingshot from the side of the bed and handed it to the emperor, "Look, isn't this more fun?"
The emperor took it, held it in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and said with a solemn expression, "Koizumi, take that brocade box in."
As expected, Koizumi quickly handed the brocade box containing the ingenious crossbow arrows that he had brought into the palace earlier to the emperor.
The emperor opened it, took out the ingenious crossbow and arrow, and compared it with the slingshot for a while, and his expression became cold, "Where did this come from?"
Ye Chang said, "The emperor, when you were young, I heard that you also liked to play tricks. Now that you see this slingshot, you will know it at a glance." He said, "According to her, she was in Xiangcheng last year. It was fished out from the bottom of the Bauhinia Lake in the Xiangjun Prince’s Mansion. At that time, I thought it was exquisite and fun. I was thinking about a little thing. I didn’t want to ask the Xiangjun king to ask for it in a serious manner. The things have been put together for more than a year. Now these things are sent to me to relieve my boredom, but it is just a coincidence. I did not expect that the clever crossbow arrows that grandpa was assassinated were actually designed and manufactured by one person with this slingshot. I think Now, this is a major event after all, I should invite you to my house and I will give you a secret message."
The emperor sank, "It turned out to be the bottom of the Bauhinia Lake in the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion?"
Ye Chang nodded, "It is said that when you look back, you can announce her to enter the palace and ask carefully." After the words fell, he said, "It's just a slingshot for children. It is big and big, and small and small."
The emperor looked at the two objects in his hand and was silent.
Ye Chang said slowly, "It is said that the king of Xiangjun has managed Xiangcheng well in these years." After the words fell, he remembered something, and said again, "I heard that Young Master Feng of the Fengyang Escort had a good relationship with the King of Xiangjun. For a few days, he was entangled by Miss Lin Wu, and the residence in Beijing could not be accommodated, so he went to the scholar's residence of the Wang University to recover.
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, put the ingenious crossbow arrow and slingshot into the brocade box together, and gave it to Koizumi, and said to Ye Chang, "You are good for birth and healing. Chaozhong is just in the use of people. Healing the wound earlier can also help. I share some of the burdens."
Ye Chang coughed and lay on the bed lazily, saying, "My head hurts so much, the emperor should go and be busy."
The emperor grinned and cursed with a smile, then turned and walked out of the room.
Patriarch Ye sat in the painting hall and stood up when the emperor came out.
The emperor looked at Ye Family Master and said, "Whether this incident is directed at the Ye Family or Chao Gang, it is not a trivial matter. Ye Xi went back to Ye Family, but the answer was extremely correct. After he returned to Ye Family , Once there is a letter, it is related to this matter, I hope that the old family master will not hide it and inform Yu me."
"I know." Patriarch Ye nodded.
The emperor said, "I'm going to the Royal University Scholars' Mansion, so I won't stay too much. The old Patriarch lives in the Rong'an Royal Mansion. I will invite you to play chess another day."
Patriarch Ye nodded and sent the emperor out of the palace.
