Chapter 462 Chang Qiu Luan 5
"Is this roast goose delicious?"
In a secluded woodshed at the residence of Duke Wei in Yingtian Prefecture, Duke Xu Da of Wei handed the sizzling roast goose meat to his little daughter. Seeing that she initially refused, but couldn't help but take the meat after tasting it, the old father smiled triumphantly:
"If you eat my roast goose, don't tell your elder sister about it, or you'll get scolded too."
Bang--
"Dad, why did you ask my little sister not to sue you?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao may not appear, but his extremely smart daughter will definitely appear.
It was as if Xu Miaoyun had an eye on him. He had just taken a few bites of the roast goose when she came after him like a female villain.
The girl glanced down at the roast goose on the table, then glanced at her three younger siblings. She immediately instructed her younger sister, "What are you still standing there for? Take the roast goose away."
The younger sister Xu Miaojin quickly agreed, snatched the piece from her father's hand, picked up the plate and walked obediently to her elder sister.
"You should know your own body well. Before Sister Chang got married, I could still shamelessly beg her to treat you regularly. Now that Sister Chang is the Crown Princess, do you still want me to beg you to go to the palace?"
Xu Miaoyun motioned for her younger sisters and brothers to leave first, then closed the door and began to lecture her troublesome father. "Fortunately, the doctors Sister Chang taught are all excellent. Doctor Xiao has been taking care of Dad for so many years, and didn't you say you felt much better? If that's the case, you should insist on it. I'm not stopping you from eating roast goose. Once every ten days, that's three times a month. You've already had enough. Can't you wait ten days?"
Xu Da was a little embarrassed by his daughter's lecture. Seeing that his sons had all left, he waved his hands and said, "Oh, I don't want to eat this. This, this is a gift from Yun Gong and Zeng Shou to me. I told them not to eat it, but they insisted on telling you. After all, it's a gift from the children, right?"
"You, you're so old, and you're still putting the blame on them when you're caught eating? How many times have I caught you stealing roast goose and drinking wine this month? Are you always doing it with the child's kindness?"
Xu Miaoyun was very angry at her father's rogue behavior. Fortunately, she felt sorry for her father and had been abiding by her diet these past few days. She specially asked someone to buy some good meat and planned to make him a meal of Dongpo pork according to the recipe taught by Sister Chang to supplement his diet.
Even a teenage girl, no matter how smart, would have a headache facing a father like this. She actually understood her father's unhappiness, and even more so, his desire to become a military commander.
But there is no way. Nowadays, everything is basically peaceful everywhere. All the uncles of my father's generation have made great military achievements and can be awarded titles. What happens next?
Since the emperor didn't allow her to move, she felt more at ease. This proved that the emperor really cared about their Xu family.
Her father knew this too, so he never let on. He and the Emperor truly understood each other, and the Emperor understood this, so apart from military power, he was extremely kind to her father, sometimes even the Duke of E had to give in.
But Xu Da was not one to sit idle. He was absolutely unwilling to be like those other people who, once they achieved success, became arrogant and obsessed with how to get more rewards from the emperor and how to squeeze more benefits from the people, until they became so fat that they looked like a nobody.
Eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and smoking, he can only do the first two to pass the time.
Xu Da thought about it and immediately felt justified: "I only have such a small appetite. If I can't even satisfy this, what's the point of living to be a hundred years old?"
"...Okay, since you've said that, I have no choice. Tomorrow I'll take your pulse diagnosis to Aunt Lan and ask her to come to the palace. Even if I have to kowtow three times and nine times, I'll ask the Crown Princess to give you a prescription."
Xu Da was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and grabbed his daughter, saying, "Don't go! Do you have any respect for others? I'm just sick, so why bother the Crown Princess?"
The most important thing is that if the ninth daughter of the Chang family knew that it was because she did not follow the doctor's advice, she would definitely prescribe her ten or eight doses of the "Taipingliang Prescription". Given her daughter's temper, she would definitely want the "very bitter" one.
Thinking back to when Brother Chang couldn't control his mouth, the Crown Princess went straight to the Emperor and asked his elder brother to issue an imperial decree, and he only drank for three days. His iron-willed Brother Chang...
It makes people sad when they hear it and makes people cry when they see it!
Xu Da couldn't help but shudder, and quickly emphasized his tone: "Your father has always been the one who can share your worries. Please don't regret my old face. Well, it's just a diet. I've already braved mountains of corpses and seas of corpses, let alone this little appetite."
The old man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, next time they stuff goose legs into my mouth I won't even chew them!"
Xu Miaoyun finally stopped and glanced at her father: "You said that, I didn't force you to do that."
"As I said, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."
The girl said nothing, just snorted, suddenly opened the door, glared at the three little ones who were eavesdropping outside, took the roast goose from her sister's hand, gave a look to the two younger brothers who were standing in a row with their hands clasped, and went straight to the living room where she usually managed the house.
Xu Da was left wondering who he could go to and ask for money in the next two days. Unfortunately, the next morning, after finishing his morning court session, he was detained by the emperor and did not leave the palace until the afternoon.
Zhu Biao walked slowly towards the East Palace. As soon as he stepped into the house, his eldest son Xiongying rushed over to him: "Dad, Dad! Is Fourth Uncle really going to marry the eldest sister of the Xu family?"
"Who told you that?"
"Who else does he need to listen to? As soon as Uncle Xu entered the palace for the banquet, the news spread throughout the palace." Chang Qiuluan came out holding his second son Yunhuan. Upon hearing his question, he smiled and said, "How is it? Promising it to the fourth son, Uncle Tiande will definitely be reluctant to give it up, right?"
Zhu Biao held Xiong Ying's hand and subconsciously defended his brother upon hearing this: "Why would you be unwilling to be promised to your fourth brother? It's just that a parent can't bear to part with their child."
Looking up, he saw Qiu Luan's knowing teasing, and he felt embarrassed. He walked over, hugged his wife, and whispered, "Old Four has a naughty temper, so we have to entrust him to Uncle Tiande. No one else can control him."
Of course, his father-in-law, Duke of E, could also do it. But his wife was the only daughter of the Chang family. Once the Xu family girl got engaged to the fourth son of his family, a relative one level away would not have as much right to be as a father-in-law.
Chang Qiuluan smiled meaningfully: "I don't think even Uncle Tiande can control him. If he wants to control someone, he has to have him in his hands."
Judging from the time, our future groom should have come up with a good idea to stage a prince running away from his marriage.
