Chapter 451 It’s Time for You to Get Married
In the distance, it seemed that the twins, Yuan Yaochu, and Hao Huashi were talking to several women not far from the gate of the imperial farm.
The women were all riding horses, wearing Hu clothing, veiled hats, with fluttering sleeves, and they looked quite pretty.
Hu clothing was all the rage in the Tang Dynasty, but was resisted in the Song Dynasty when people thought it was evil. However, during the Dayan Dynasty, people became more open-minded and all kinds of clothing flourished. Hu clothing with brightly colored lapels was also very fashionable, and it looked very beautiful from a distance.
Tuanzi pointed and said, "Yeah, Xinbao also wants clothes like this."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Yeah, ask someone to make it for you. And ask someone to find you a pony."
Tuanzi said: "Xinbao can ride a horse. Brother Xiaoxian taught him."
"Wow," Emperor Mingpei said with a smile, "Xinbao can also ride a horse? Incredible!!"
While coaxing Tuanzi, he looked over there again.
This is actually what Yuan Shenjue said.
When the emperor came to the imperial manor, many people came with their families. Those who had face sent letters to ask for a meeting, while those who did not had face would think it would be nice to meet him by chance. After all, they were all grown men and would definitely go out!
Moreover, the key point is that, after the new year, Yan Shifan is eighteen years old, Yan Shirong is sixteen years old, and even Yan Shichang and Yan Shisheng are not young anymore. Most of the people in the capital have been watching their children since childhood, and some have watched their children for more than ten years. For people like them, they can really be said to be married.
There are so many rich sons-in-law all of a sudden, and I don’t know how many people are staring at them.
Including Yan Qingshan himself, there must be someone plotting this.
But Emperor Mingpei didn't want them to discuss the marriage right now, or in other words, he didn't want Yan Shifan and Yan Shirong to get married in a hurry.
Because he had an important matter hanging in his mind, and how to decide this matter was of great importance, so he also needed to consider his wives' temperaments and family backgrounds.
Thinking about it in his mind, he didn't look at it any further.
Tuanzi himself didn't look at it for long, but turned to look at the ground next to him, and asked, "Ye Ye, what do you like to eat?"
Emperor Mingpei asked, "What?"
Xinbao looked back and forth at the field, his eyes were full of eagerness: "Whatever you want to eat, Xinbao will plant it for you!!"
Emperor Mingpei said with a smile: "Just plant whatever you think is suitable. How can Yeye let you go without food?"
Xinbao nodded: "Then Xinbao will plant more fruits."
Outside, Hao Huashi glanced in this direction.
The four of them had gone out to play early in the morning and had just come back. Then these noble ladies suddenly bumped into them, came forward to greet them, and exchanged their names. Even a fool would know what was going on.
They didn't come here for him in the first place, he just wanted to watch the fun, but after he announced the names, more than one girl looked unhappy, and he felt a little unhappy.
In fact, Yuan Yaochu was only half a year younger than Yan Shifan, and was already of marriageable age. He had a good family background and would be a rich son-in-law, but he was too childish, so Madam Yuan had already spread the word that it was not suitable for him to get married early, and that he should consider getting married after he reached the age of twenty.
So these people came for the few people from the prince's family.
When they signed up, they had never heard of him and realized they had found the wrong person. They felt embarrassed and left without saying a few words.
After walking a distance, a girl even spat quietly and whispered, "What bad luck!"
Hao Huashi heard this and was very unhappy. As soon as he came in, he complained to them loudly.
As they were talking, a young eunuch came in and bowed to Yan Shifan: "Your Highness, the Emperor is calling you over!"
Yan Shifan quickly stood up: "You only called me?"
"Yes," the young eunuch said, "it seems that the young prince wants to call you."
Yan Shifan didn't say much and just walked quickly. He was tall and had long legs, so climbing up the small hill was like playing for him.
At this moment, Emperor Mingpei and the other person had already sat down in the pavilion.
In winter, the pavilion was surrounded by cloth, and a brazier was lit inside, so it was not cold to sit there.
Emperor Mingpei was peeling melon seeds with Xinbao. Yan Shifan walked in and bowed. Emperor Mingpei waved his hand casually and said, "Sit down."
Yan Shifan sat down.
Tuanzi said to him, "Big brother, let's peel some melon seeds together for Yeye to eat, okay?"
Yan Shifan responded, moved the round stool over and started peeling melon seeds.
He didn't need to use his teeth to crack it, he just pinched it and it opened. He peeled it quite quickly, and when he peeled out a small plate, he brought it in front of Emperor Mingpei.
Xinbao looked at Emperor Mingpeidi with his big watery eyes.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Emperor Mingpei pretended not to notice and ate slowly while talking to Yan Shifan: "Did Yuan Er and the others meet anyone when they came back just now?"
Yan Shifan said: "Yes, he said he met a few noble ladies."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Fan'er is not young anymore, what kind of girl does he like?"
Yan Shifan coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed, but still said seriously: "Your Majesty, my grandson doesn't have this idea for the time being."
"Oh? Why?" Emperor Mingpei said with a smile, "At your age, if you were living in the common people, you would have been married long ago, right? Now that everything has settled, you can start a family. If you marry a wife, you can accompany your mother."
Emperor Mingpei was talking while leisurely eating melon seeds.
Tuanzi snuggled up to him affectionately.
Emperor Mingpei pinched the melon seeds and raised his hand, and he felt a small hand reaching out from under his ribs... reaching out... reaching out...
And she didn't pinch, she grabbed, grabbing small handfuls and stuffing them into her mouth.
He deliberately pinched a pill, raised it halfway, and then suddenly pulled it back. His fingers touched the back of the chubby little hand, and then he pulled it back abruptly.
Emperor Mingpei almost laughed out loud and turned to glance at his granddaughter.
There was a melon seed stuck in the corner of Xinbao's mouth, as if he had grown an extra tooth. He squinted his eyes at him and tried hard to smile.
Emperor Mingpei smiled and turned back.
The emperor's attitude is so casual that no one can imagine that he doesn't want them to get married early.
Yan Shifan didn't expect this either.
He pondered for a moment, then answered seriously, "Your Majesty, my grandson's idea may be a little old-fashioned. I think that husband and wife are destined to be together for a lifetime. Getting married for the sake of filial piety or having children is a bit... putting the cart before the horse. I think that getting married is for harmony and harmony, to spend life together, and to establish a good relationship between the two families... When she becomes my wife, it will be natural for us to be filial to our parents and have children together."
He glanced at Emperor Mingpei and saw that he still looked relaxed, so he continued, "I feel that my brothers and sisters and I are still upright despite the hardships we have experienced, all thanks to our parents' upbringing. If we had the same experience with a different pair of parents, they would probably blame each other, be gloomy, or even quarrel. If they were such parents, we would definitely not be where we are now."
He paused and said, "So my grandson thinks that getting married is something that should not be taken too seriously. And my grandson also wants to go to the border, and I don't know how many years I will be gone, so my grandson doesn't want to consider this matter for the time being. Otherwise, if I marry the bride and leave her at home, if something happens and I can't handle it in time, it would be a bit irresponsible."
Emperor Mingpei did not comment, and said: "What if in the future, the girl you like is disliked by your parents?"
