Chapter 52: What kind of marriage is this for a little kid? (Please read, vote for the monthly ticket, and recommend)
"I have been so kind to you, brother, and have given you so many banquets. I don't know how many times I have been so kind to you."

"But I've only eaten the roast goose made by my sister-in-law three times in all these years."

"The first battle was against Chen Youliang."

"The second round, the battle against Zhang Shicheng."

"The third chapter, the Northern Expedition to Overthrow the Yuan Dynasty."

As he spoke, Xu Da glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and this glance made Zhu Yuanzhang's face turn red.

But what Xu Da said was indeed correct. Three meals of roast goose and the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang made a fortune from this deal.

But today, when Xu Da looked at the roast goose on the table, a hint of bitterness suddenly appeared on the corners of his mouth.

After eating this roast goose, their eldest daughter will have to be given to the Zhu family for free?
The sons of the Zhu family? In Xu Da's eyes, they were all birds of a feather. How could they possibly be worthy of the eldest daughter of the Xu family?

Of course, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin Zhu Gang.

After all, these two are at the top of the younger generation in the Ming Dynasty.

So she is worthy of being Xu Da's eldest daughter!

"Brother, let's not hide it anymore."

"If it's the eldest and the third son of your family, we will get them engaged without hesitation, but if it's any other prince, don't blame your younger brother for refusing the engagement."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Da picked up the chopsticks, picked up the goose leg, and began to eat it with relish.

Zhu Xi: "?"

To be honest, Zhu Chong felt that Xu Da was targeting him, otherwise why did nothing good happen to him?
Although Zhu Chong had no feelings for the eldest daughter of the Xu family, he was still the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of all the kings.
cough cough self-proclaimed
Well, even if they are not as good as the eldest and the third brother, you can't always bring it up, right?

"Uncle Xu, this is not a joke."

But compared to Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao stood up together, looked at Xu Da who was eating with relish, and shook their heads.

"We're not kidding."

Hearing this, Xu Da looked at Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao with a very serious expression.

"Don't make trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang also waved his hand.

Who are Xu Da and Xu Tiande?

He was a loyal and devoted military official who helped the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He was promoted to the rank of Guanglu Dafu, You Zhuguo, Taifu, and Duke of Xin, and was renamed Duke of Wei. He was also the Right Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty in his past.

Just think about it, it's hard to read all these titles, so how could Xu Da's daughter marry Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao as a concubine?
Stop joking. Chang Yuchun’s daughter is the Crown Prince’s wife, and that brat Xie Cheng’s daughter is also the Prince of Jin’s wife.

What? The eldest daughter of the Xu family is not as good as the Chang and Xie families?

Furthermore, Xu Miaoyun had the reputation of being a female scholar in Yingtian Prefecture, so even if she married into the royal family, she would at least be the prince's principal wife.

But now the only princes who meet the requirements are Prince of Yan Zhu Di, Prince of Wu Zhu Su, and Prince of Chu Zhu Zhen.

But except for Prince of Yan Zhu Di, Prince of Wu Zhu Su and Prince of Chu Zhu Zhen, Zhu had already chosen his principal wife for them.

They were the legitimate daughters of Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan.

It was only because Zhu Gang had not yet married that it was not announced.

So there is no need to think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang will marry Xu Da's eldest daughter to the fourth son of their family today.

"Your daughter is gentle and generous, and has the reputation of being a female scholar. How can she be a concubine?"

Queen Ma also looked at Xu Da and shook her head.

"Xu Tiande, do you really look down on our fourth child?"

But Xu Da remained unmoved, which immediately annoyed Zhu Yuanzhang, who immediately glared at Xu Da.

"Brother, your family's fourth child, don't you understand?"

Xu Da then put down the goose leg in his hand, and sighed again, "But if Your Majesty insists on granting the marriage, I, an old minister, cannot disobey your order."

When Xu Da finished speaking, everyone, including Zhu Yuanzhang, twitched their lips slightly. "Hahaha."

Chang Yuchun laughed without caring about his image.

"Xu Tiande, do you think I am using my status as emperor to pressure you?"

In response to this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da with displeasure.

"How is that possible? You are our elder brother."

Xu Da first looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and chuckled, then turned to look at Empress Ma and said, "Sister-in-law, is Tiande right?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Queen Ma nodded with a smile on her face.

"Is our fourth child so bad?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but mutter a few words again. After all, he felt that the fourth son of their family, Zhu Di, was the son who looked most like him, besides Zhu Gang.

"Old man, Uncle Xu, stop arguing. Although the fourth brother has experience in the army, he is only sixteen years old."

"He's still a young boy. Why not let him gain experience for another two years?"

"And Sister Miaoyun is just a child, younger than our fourth child."

"So you might as well wait a few more years until the fourth brother makes some achievements."

"And by then, if the Xu family's sister still doesn't like our fourth child."

While Old Zhu and Xu Da were arguing, Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da and said, "That only means that our fourth son and Sister Miaoyun are not meant to be together, so don't force it."

To be honest, one of the reasons why Zhu Gang left Beijing was because he had a quarrel with Zhu Yuanzhang.

But the main reason was that Zhu Gang wanted to escape the marriage.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Zhu Gang doesn’t like Xie Yuer, but how old was Xie Yuer that year?

This was naturally extremely contradictory for a young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.

But who could refuse Zhu Yuanzhang's offer of marriage?

So after Zhu Gang had a quarrel with Zhu Yuanzhang, he left the capital alone, and the marriage naturally ended in nothing.

And according to historical records, Xu Miaoyun should be only fourteen years old now, right?
So what’s the point of talking about marriage and getting married like a little kid?

Sooner or later, Zhu Gang will abolish these feudal customs one by one.

After all, she is still at a growing age, but she is already a wife and a mother.

When thinking of this, Zhu Gang couldn't help but complain in his heart: "No wonder there were wet nurses in ancient times. After all, at this age, even if she could give birth to a child, she probably wouldn't be able to raise the child."

"But Miss Xu has already reached the age of marriage, how can we wait any longer?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da could speak, Empress Ma looked at Zhu Gang and spoke first.

"Mom, how old were you when you married my dad?"

In response to Empress Ma's question, Zhu Gang asked directly in return.

"That was a chaotic era, how can it be compared to today?"

Of course Empress Ma understood what Zhu Gang meant, so she rolled her eyes at him.

That year, Zhu Yuanzhang was 25 years old and began to show his talent. It was also that year that 21-year-old Ma Xiuying married Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Mom, I know I can't convince you. I'll take you to Yingtian Prefecture in a few days, and you'll understand what I mean."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhu Gang's eyes again, and then he looked at Queen Ma and said.

How can the deep-rooted thoughts of the ancients be explained in just a few words?
It would be better to find some time to take Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma to Yingtian Prefecture for a walk. Only in this way will they understand.
