Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 119 Matchmaking
Historically, Li Jiancheng was the eldest in the family, but in this life, he actually has an older sister who is also a descendant, named Li Xiuqing.

In this way, the Dou family will actually give birth to six children for Li Yuan.

The eldest son Jiancheng, the second son Shimin, the third son Xuanba, and the fourth son Yuanji.

The eldest daughter Li Xiuqing, the second daughter Li Xiuning.

If Li Yuan hadn't usurped the Sui Dynasty, then his children, including himself, were destined to be unknown people. As a result, when they rebelled, the whole family became famous figures in the history books.

Li Xiuqing is an in-law and has been brought to present to Concubine Xiao, but Yang Ming hasn't seen her yet.

Now that I think about it, my original thoughts were too naive, so what if he really married Li Xiuqing?

If Xiao Li's family really succeeded in rebelling, they would definitely kill him, including all the sons he had with Li Xiuqing. The daughter might escape because he had no inheritance rights.

After walking around Li Yuan's mansion, Yang Ming rushed to the front hall to meet his mother and concubine.

Li Yuan has left, only Concubine Xiao and Mrs. Dou.

Yang Ming was quite interested in the topic the two of them were talking about, and Li Jiancheng should also be interested, but he didn't seem to understand.

As for Li Shimin, he broke a stinky fart, as if he was about to take a shit, and was quickly taken down by the wet nurse.

Li Jiancheng is 11 years old, and he has reached the age when he can consider marriage. Among all big families, the marriage of the eldest son has always been the most important thing, because the eldest son will be the prince in the future. For example, Yang Zhao got married at the age of 14 .

And the Dou family has already made preparations in advance, and has already targeted the unmarried prostitutes of the right age in the Guanlong Group.

Some are too old, some are too young, some have unqualified family background, and some are not worthy of their families. In short, there is no one suitable for Li Jiancheng.

During this period, Yang Ming even heard Pei Shuying's name.

It's a pity that Pei Shuying is currently unattainable. After all, Pei Ju is doing well and the old Pei's family is a big family. With Li Yuan's current conditions, the possibility is unlikely.

What's more, it is inappropriate for Pei Shuying to be five years older than Jiancheng, because it is the custom of the Sui Dynasty to marry a younger daughter, and most of them choose younger girls than themselves.

It's rare for Dugu Jialuo to marry him three years older than Yang Ming.

Don't mention it, Yang Ming likes older girls at present, and when he is over 25 or [-], he will like younger women.

Historically, Li Jiancheng's wife, Zheng Guanyin, was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, and Li Yuan had once served as the prefect of Xingyang, and it seems to be the friendship formed at that time.

But Zheng Guanyin is much younger than Li Jiancheng, and seems to be the same age as Shimin's child, who is only two years old this year.

According to historical records, when Li Jiancheng married Zheng Guanyin, he was already 26 years old, that is to say, Li Jiancheng must have married other wives before that.

Marrying a wife at the age of 26 would have been poked at the spine in the Sui Dynasty. It was absolutely impossible for an old bachelor.

Yang Ming listened quietly at the side, and suddenly, he understood Dou's meaning.

Nima, what is inside the words, is it because you are thinking about your sister Yang Chan?

Yang Chan is only one year older than Yang Ming, that is, two years older than Jian Jian, so she is just right in age.

But in terms of identity, it is not suitable.

Although it is not uncommon for cousins ​​to get married, Yang Chan is currently the county lord (county princess), and will be the county lord (county princess) in the future, and will still be a princess in the future.

Li Yuan is still too far behind, and has no use value for Yang Guang, so he will never marry his daughter to their family.

In fact, strictly speaking, after Yang Chan became a princess, Li Jiancheng would have a chance instead.

Because marrying a princess is called Shang, the son-in-law has no status in the family, and besides, she has become a princess, so she doesn't care much about the man's family background.

Historically, Yang Chan was going to marry Yuwen Sangou, and Yuwen Shiji is now 14 years old. Counting the days, it will only be a year or two before Yang Chan gets married.

For Yang Ming, Li Jiancheng and Yuwen Shiji were not good choices, they would both be traitors in the future.

Concubine Xiao was obviously not happy, and even showed a little disdain, what was she thinking?Li Yuan's guard generals were all arranged by her husband, how dare you play Chan'er's idea?Your family can really dare to think.

On the way home, Concubine Xiao also complained loudly in the carriage, complaining that Mrs. Dou didn't know how to flatter her. Yang Ming nodded her head in agreement.

But he also doesn't want Yang Chan to marry Yuwen Shiji in the future, so right now it is necessary to plan for his sister's future, so as not to be seized by Yuwenshu's family.

That afternoon, Yang Ming sent someone to inform Yang Yinjiang, hoping that she could ask Pei Shuying and her brother out. He also emphasized that they were sisters and brothers.

Yang Yinjiang's work efficiency is so high that even Yang Ming has to admire it. This is definitely a good material for a secretary in future generations. She asked the Pei siblings out early.

As for Yang Ming, he naturally wanted to bring his sister Yang Chan with him.

Jinyang Building,
When Yang Yinjiang saw that Yang Chan was there, she was quite surprised, and she exchanged frequent eye contact with Yang Ming in private, as if asking: What do you mean?Why is the county magistrate here?

Yang Chan is the head of Lingling County (Yongzhou, Hunan).

The prince's daughter is the county head, and the prince's daughter is the county head.

Yang Ming couldn't answer her question with his eyes, how could he express his sister's blind date with his eyes?

After several people were seated, Yang Ming first looked at Pei Shuying, because he found that the other party seemed to be in good condition, and seemed to have almost recovered from what happened to Li Dewu.

After all, she and Li Dewu have just started, and they haven't even had a period of passionate love.

Of course, Yang Ming would not bring up Li Dewu's matter in a boring way, so he started the topic first:
"I went to Hedong this time, and I heard that Miss Pei's ancestral home is in Xia County?"

Xia County is Wenxi County.

Pei Shuying was taken aback when she heard the words, and gave Yang Yinjiang a helpless look, and Yang Yinjiang also shrugged helplessly,

Obviously, Yang Ming was looking for something to say, so embarrassing
The Pei clan of Hedong, you have only heard of things that are well known in the world?
Pei Shuying sighed, nodded and said, "Your Highness is very well informed, yes, my ancestral home is in Xia County."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to go to Xia County."

He is going farther and farther on the embarrassing road,

Now even Pei Xuanji is embarrassed, it's so hard to talk, since you didn't go, why do you bring this up?

Yang Chan couldn't help tugging at Yang Ming's sleeves: "Don't hesitate, just say what you want to say. Your opening two sentences make me feel embarrassed."

Yang Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, nothing, I just wanted to ask everyone out to meet, nothing else."

"Yes! You must be planning something," Pei Shuying said suddenly, "You only took the initiative to ask me out twice, once to tell a story, and this is the second time."

After Yang Chan heard this, she suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Yang Ming with a puzzled face, then at Pei Shuying, and after a long while, she showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

This is good, many people are embarrassed.

Sister, am I looking for someone for you? I'm not looking for someone. Didn't you see Pei Xuanji?Don't ignore them?
The reason why Yang Ming thought of Pei Xuanji was because of his family background, because Pei Xuanji and Yang Chan were both 13 years old, and because he knew Pei Xuanji.

Yang Yinjiang glanced at Pei Shuying, and found that the other party was a little shy at this moment, and she was upset, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said:
"Did you find anything interesting during your trip to Hedong this time, Your Highness?"

No, I haven't seen anything interesting. Yang Ming is quite embarrassed right now. He was too hasty and didn't prepare his speech in advance, which made him so embarrassed now.

So he changed the subject again and asked, "Did anything interesting happen in the capital during the half month I was away?"

Yang Yinjiang was taken aback, I can't answer your topic, can I?Because nothing happened to the capital recently?Yang Yinjiang guessed that something must be wrong with Yang Ming, and it was hard to tell,

Today he took Yang Chan with him unexpectedly, and asked her to ask Pei Xuanji out, so the matter must have something to do with it.

What could it be?

Even if Yang Yinjiang was smart, she would never have guessed that tonight was actually a blind date.

Because no one is on a blind date like this.

So she could only act on the spot, and made up a story: "I heard a story recently, which is quite interesting."

Now that it was done, everyone's attention was focused on her in an instant.

Yang Yinjiang said slowly: "There is a county magistrate in Hebei who was promoted to a sheriff. When he was about to take office, he saw a naked old man at the gate of the county office. The sheriff asked him: Who are you? The old man replied: I am you." The land master of that county had just stepped down, and the sheriff said in a daze: Then why did you follow me? The land master replied: You have searched all the land there, so how could I not come with you?”

It was indeed a good joke, because she made Pei Shuying, Yang Chan and the others laugh.

Everyone laughed, and Yang Ming was too embarrassed not to laugh, so he could only say: "Haha. Haha, it's wonderful."

At this moment, Pei Shuying stood up suddenly, and said to Yang Ming:

"Please come out, Your Highness, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

Great. We should have a good talk, Yang Ming hurriedly got up and walked out of the box.

Of course, the two of them would not chat privately at the door, so they walked to a bamboo forest in the inner garden,

There was no one around, Pei Shuying said strangely: "You have a concubine."

Yang Ming said in a daze, "Yes, I know that."

"So." Pei Shuying spread her hands and shrugged.

What are you thinking, boy?Yang Ming finally came to his senses and said directly:
"You think too much. Think about it again. Why did I ask your brother out tonight? I don't know him well. Besides, why did I bring my sister with me?"

Pei Shuying shook her head blankly: "How do I know what your plan is?"

Anyway, it wasn't your idea, Yang Ming hinted: "My sister is thirteen this year, and your brother is also thirteen this year, right?"

"That's right, so what?" Pei Shuying couldn't have imagined that Yang Ming wanted to match them up.

Seeing that the other party couldn't understand what he meant, Yang Ming simply said:
"Let's put it this way, I think Pei Xuanji is very pleasing to the eye, and my sister's marriage has not yet been decided, so I want to match them up."

"Ah?" Pei Shuying's pupils dilated instantly, her eyes were round and round, she looked at Yang Ming in disbelief,

Is he kidding?it's too weird
Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Yang Ming frowned and said:
"Give me an accurate word, just nod if you are willing to help."

Pei Shuying was taken aback, and nodded hastily.

Yang Ming nodded: "Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind, let's go back."

"Oh." Pei Shuying reacted instinctively, and hurriedly turned to follow, her mind was completely bewildered.

At this time, Yang Ming suddenly turned around again, which made her take a few steps back in fright.

"what happened again?"

"I have a concubine, I don't need you to remind me."

Pei Shuying was taken aback for a moment, her face became hot instantly, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in immediately.

so shameful
