Madam, let's steam buns together

Before Zhang's father could think of a way to fool the marriage-raising team outside the door, another servant from the mansion rushed to report: "My lord, General Xu broke in with His Majesty, and he is walking this way now !"

Father Zhang was so startled that he took three steps back, and stopped when he reached the edge of the table. He raised his hand to caress his chest, as if he couldn't bear the sudden bad news: "Where are the others, have they all come in?"

"Your Majesty is present, who dares to act recklessly, except for General Xu and the people around His Majesty, everyone else is still lined up outside the door."

"That's okay." Father Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head and gave Gou Qizi a look, Gou Qizi understood, and went back to the inner room and closed the door first.

As soon as Zhang's father came out of the house, he saw the young emperor walking here with General Xu and the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The little emperor had a spring-like smile on his face. The black face with anger, and An Wenshan's kind face on the right back... I just feel that the three of them are even more hostile!

A little fox, a big ox, and a smiling tiger, Zhang's father just wanted to run away at this moment, so as not to face these three people in the future.

Zhang's father was just about to take a sneaky step to the side, pretending that he didn't see the three of them, and just as he raised his leg, he was stopped by the little emperor.

"Where does Aiqing want to go?"

Father Zhang withdrew his feet, sighed lightly and raised his head to look at the little emperor, and went up to meet his fate: "Your Majesty is coming to the humble house, the old minister naturally wants to make a pot of hot tea for His Majesty himself."

Just after saying this, Zhang's father suddenly said in his heart: Oops!

Sure enough, the 16-year-old little emperor continued to follow Zhang's father's words: "This is Hua Ruo's residence, and there should be hot tea in it. Why should Aiqing look far away."

"This... the dog hasn't gotten up yet, so it's inconvenient for us to go in."

"But I saw Aiqing coming out of it just now." As he spoke, the little emperor bent slightly and beat his leg, sighing leisurely, "I just stood outside the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and walked all the way from the door to Hua Ruo's. Outside, why does this leg look like..."

Before the little emperor could finish speaking, Father Zhang immediately made an invitation gesture and said righteously: "Your Majesty, please come in."

After the little emperor entered the room and sat down, he glanced at the back room intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I haven't seen Hua Ruo for three months."

In an instant, the little emperor felt two fiery gazes behind him.

You don't need to turn your head to know that it was the sight from General Xu and An Fushang, which made you feel irritated.

General Xu: Your Majesty is the emperor, and you really have privileges. I haven’t seen the prime minister’s son for three years. The appearance in my memory is still when Zhang Huaruo was 15 years old. I really just glanced at it and talked about it until now. As long as your majesty doesn’t steal from me today , I must marry Zhang Huaruo home!

An Fushang: ...No one is as miserable as I am. I have never even met Zhang Huaruo. If Zhang Huaruo is so famous outside, even if he is not really the most beautiful woman in the world, he will be a rare man who is rare in a century. If you can marry and go home, you won't lose money on this deal!

Father Zhang asked the old housekeeper to pour tea for the little emperor, while he himself was standing next to the little emperor, still sitting and resisting for the last time: "Your Majesty, what state matter are you coming to Weichen's mansion today?"

The little emperor looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Why, if there is no court affairs, can't I come to Aiqing's mansion to see Aiqing and Hua Ruo?"

Father Zhang said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty should put state affairs first. Right now, there are continuous droughts in Yinan, and the people are suffering unspeakably. This is the time when Your Majesty is needed."

The little emperor put away his smile following Father Zhang's words, and replied equally seriously: "For such a big matter, I should discuss the countermeasures with Aiqing. Since Hua Ruo hasn't woken up yet, why don't Aiqing talk about how she treats Yinan?" What are your thoughts on the situation?"

Seeing that the little emperor kicked the ball to his side again, Father Zhang pretended to be stupid for a moment, as if he hadn't heard what the little emperor said just now, he changed the subject and turned to General Xu and An Fushang: "Hey, why are you two here? gone?"

The little emperor chuckled, letting Zhang's father pretend to be stupid, after all, he didn't really want to continue the previous topic.

"I'm here to propose marriage!" General Xu stretched out his hand and slapped Father Zhang's left shoulder boldly, and Father Zhang almost lost control of his expression in pain.

What Father Zhang said to General Xu is even more like he didn’t hear it, no matter what, I’m old, hard of hearing, can’t hear or can’t hear!

Ignoring General Xu again, Father Zhang came to An Fushang and asked in a low voice, "How can you come in with me?"

It's all right for His Majesty to let General Xu in. After all, if General Xu did not force his way in, His Majesty would have to wait outside for a while, but An Wenshan has no friendship with His Majesty and General Xu. How could His Majesty agree to let An Wenshan come in with him? ?

These three people came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today for the same purpose, which is to propose marriage to Zhang's father. Naturally, there is one less competitor. How could His Majesty and General Xu be so kind as to let Anfu merchant enter the Prime Minister's Mansion under His Majesty's favor.

An Fushang replied in a low voice: "I promise His Majesty, as long as he agrees to let me come in, I will donate 1000 million taels of snowflake silver to the imperial court."

Zhang's father was speechless, he could only raise his hand and pat An Fushang on the shoulder to express his inner feelings.

Shock and comfort.

Among the three, General Xu was the most impatient. Seeing Zhang's father talking about him all the time, he couldn't help saying: "Prime Minister, you didn't say three years ago that you asked your son to make a marriage today. Are we all turned away?"

Zhang's father still wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but the little emperor followed General Xu's words and asked: "That's right, didn't Ai Qing say that Hua Ruo would let him choose after he reaches eighteen, is it because he wants to break his promise?"

"I... this..." Father Zhang hurriedly tried to find an excuse to prevaricate them, but before he could come up with a good excuse, a voice came from the back room to help him out.

"It's because I haven't decided who to choose, it's none of Dad's business."

No one has seen it, but the sound has arrived, lingering in the ears, like hearing the round water beads splashed by the mountain spring water, filling and nourishing the land, just listening to the sound, I feel that there are water drops falling into the mouth, which is extraordinarily sweet clear.

The eyes of the three of them turned to the closed door of the inner room at the same time, and the door opened slowly, looking forward to seeing the person behind the door who made the sound.

Goji berries appeared in front of everyone before Zhang Huaruo. The Anfu businessman who had never seen Zhang Huaruo subconsciously regarded him as Zhang Huaruo. He could not hide his disappointment, but he soon found that the others were still waiting eagerly, knowing that this person was not Zhang Huaruo. Looking forward to it again.

Wolfberry was waiting by the door, waiting for Zhang Huaruo to come out.

A simple and elegant Tsing Yi appeared in sight. Zhang Huaruo walked out slowly from behind the door. He lowered his head and coughed twice, so that everyone could not see his whole face at a glance. At first glance, only Zhang Huaruo's side face and his slightly With a somewhat thin figure, he could already get a glimpse of this person's demeanor that would not be lost in the rumors, and he looked forward to seeing Zhang Huaruo's whole picture.

Zhang Huaruo raised his head slowly, glanced at the three of them, his eyes swept over several people, and finally stopped on Zhang's father, he called softly: "Daddy."

"Hey!" Zhang's father rushed forward, blaming himself, "Did I wake you up?"

Zhang Huaruo shook his head lightly: "It's getting late, I should wake up too."

Before Zhang Huaruo stepped forward to salute the little emperor, the little emperor had already stood up and stepped forward to help Zhang Huaruo, but when Zhang Huaruo retracted his sleeves and hid, the little emperor was not annoyed, and cheerfully told Zhang Huaruo to sit down quickly: "You are not in good health, you don't have to stand upright, sit down."

Although this is Zhang Huaruo's room, after all the little emperor is the king of a country, without the little emperor's consent, Zhang Huaruo would never sit down.

But since the little emperor had already spoken, Zhang Huaruo didn't make too much fuss, and sat down calmly.

Seeing a bowl of clear soup and plain noodles on the table, Zhang Huaruo looked at Zhang's father: "Dad made this?"

Father Zhang nodded, and hurriedly said, "This longevity noodle is getting cold, don't move, I'll make you a new bowl for my father, and eat it warm."

Zhang Huaruo raised his hand to protect the bowl in front of him, not letting Zhang's father take it away, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Since it is the longevity noodles made by my father, there is no reason not to eat it. I think the wall of this bowl is still warm, and the temperature is just right for the mouth." , Daddy doesn’t need to make another bowl.”

Picking up the bamboo chopsticks that were put aside, Zhang Huaruo didn't care at all that so many people were watching him, eating the slightly mushy longevity noodles in the bowl as if no one was there.

Everyone didn't make any other movement, didn't speak, just quietly watched Zhang Huaruo eating noodles at the same time.

From the moment Zhang Huaruo walked out of the back room, An Wenshan, the most wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, had already stood there in a daze. Even though he had traveled all over the world and seen many beautiful beauties, he was still hit in the heart by Zhang Huaruo's beauty, and his brain went blank for an instant. The image of the beauty I saw in front of me was left, but I don't know what night it is.

He had never seen such an immortal figure!

Zhang Huaruo's beauty lies in an unmistakable heroic beauty, one can be sure that he is a man at a glance, and he will not be confused with the soft beauty of a woman.

When Zhang Huaruo's bright eyes lightly swept over An Wenshan's body, even if it was just an extremely short eye contact, bright fireworks seemed to explode in An Wenshan's mind, accompanied by spring Blooming clusters of flowers submerge him in a sea of ​​fragrant flowers.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Huaruo had already finished the small bowl of longevity noodles in front of him.

Zhang Huaruo put down his chopsticks, and then took another look at the three men present who wanted to propose marriage to him. However, the little emperor probably didn't come to propose marriage to him in the open, but to check Zhang's attitude first.

Three months ago, the little emperor had secretly mentioned to Zhang's father in private that he was willing to marry Zhang Huaruo into the palace as his concubine, but at that time, Zhang's father also politely refused.

So this time the little emperor came to see if Zhang's father had changed his mind. If Zhang's father now agreed to Zhang Huaruo's entry into the palace, the little emperor would clearly state that he came here to propose a marriage. I came to the prime minister's mansion for a walk.

After a short thought, Zhang Huaruo took the initiative to mention his marriage.

He told everyone: "Since it was the promise made by Dad three years ago, Hua Ruo will definitely fulfill everyone's wishes today and settle the marriage. It's just this person..."

Not only the little emperor, General Xu, and An Fushang, but also other servants who were not likely to be listed as candidates also pricked up their ears, just to hear what Zhang Huaruo said next.

"...Why don't you leave it to God to choose?"
