[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

In the Forbidden City, there is a princess wormwood with a down-to-earth name and down-to-earth things.Princess Ai Cao likes farming, and the only thing with a little bit of style is to wait for the flowers and cultivate the grass.

But this wormwood princess should not be underestimated.It is said that she looks like a beautiful woman. She has been studying poetry and books with Emperor Hongzhi since she was a child, and even learned things like court policy from Emperor Zhengde.These two Supreme Emperors personally taught them, how bad can they be.

Now it's time to talk about the marriage of the wormwood princess Cardamom Nianhua.This piece of fat is worrying all the wives in the capital, big and small.Everyone is greedy for this piece of fat, but no one dares to eat it, for fear that this piece of fat will suffocate themselves.

Three generations of emperors, Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Yuanyou, there is only such a princess in the palace.She was named a princess when she was born, and she was named the eldest princess when she was just a child. She is a prince, and she is truly a jewel in the palm of her hand, a daughter of gold.It's a pity that the rules for choosing a son-in-law made everyone hesitate.

According to the rules of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law must be chosen from junior officials and civilians, and if he becomes a son-in-law, he cannot be an official or participate in court affairs.If you want to be a consort, you can't be an official, and if you want to be an official, you can't be a consort.Those who feel worthy of golden branches and jade leaves can't bear to ruin their children's future, and those who are not worthy of golden branches and jade leaves are afraid that the palace will think they are blasphemy.The marriage of Ai Cao could not just be put on hold.

According to the rules, the candidate for this son-in-law should be selected by the eunuchs in the palace.But there is only such a princess in the palace, Zhang's Zhu Youtang has only this daughter, and Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei have only such a sister.Even if he gave Jinglian a few heads, he didn't dare to make decisions for the princess.What's more, this princess has a county prince outside the palace to worry about him.

Zhang Shi is worried, what a princess.The appearance, upbringing, and family background are not top-notch, so why are there so few people interested in them.Let's just talk about that Xinke Tanhua, she was a little bit intent on making peace for the princess just now, why was she already engaged when she asked again.Mrs. Zhang was anxious, and complained to Zhu Youtang, what kind of ancestral family law, it is clear that the princesses cannot get married!

Look at who those princesses married in the past, merchants, rich landowners, and even Chongxi.Do you still want us to marry wormwood and go to celebrate?This matter was indeed at my own fault, Zhu Youtang couldn't refute her, so he had to secretly ask Du Ruo, who are the young talents in the capital who can match Ai Cao.

The parents, elder brother and sister-in-law are all in a hurry, but wormwood is not in a hurry.Just like what Brother Huang said, she has money if she wants money, and she has a career if she wants a career. She is not a dodder who only clings to men's lives, so why is she so eager to find a man.She was worried because her subordinates were too stupid, especially that idiot Lin, who was smart in how to do things, but didn't understand the world at all.

"Tell me, you are very smart when I see you on weekdays, why are you so stupid when you go out? They asked you to go to the Ministry of Industry to pay money, and they said you didn't have any money, so you really came back empty-handed?" Ai Cao saw Lin Hongwen's innocent face. He looked even more angry and panicked, "Even if you give my name, can they not give you money?"

"How can you tell others about the name of the princess? It's against the rules, it's against the rules."

Lin Hongwen in front of him was wearing a blue official uniform, a black official hat, black cloth shoes underneath, and a pair of big eyes on his fat and white face.When Ai Cao saw him, she felt that only one word "cute" said by Brother Huang could describe his cuteness.

Here it comes again, it's like this, every time Lin Hongwen does something wrong, he opens his eyes and frowns, and he can't bear to blame him anymore.He wanted to transfer him out so that he would not be under his command, but he was also reluctant to part with his talent in farming.Mugwort really doesn't love him or hate him, this feeling is very complicated.

"Okay, okay. It's my fault. I know you're not suitable for these twists and turns. It's my fault that I sent you to beg for money." Ah!ah!ah!Just because he was "cute" again, and she let him go again, Ai Cao felt that her heart was extremely stuffy.Sure enough, Brother Huang is sincere and does not deceive me, appearance is justice.He looks like this, who is willing to scold him.

"Okay, you go out." Ai Cao sent him out, thought for a while, and then called him back, "Wait, let Guoer send a message home, I will go to your house for dinner today. "

"Princess?" Lin Hongwen was worried. The princess had been going to his house for dinner in the past three or two days, and he was able to explain to his parents that he was a female official who worked together.However, this gossip, other people are okay, and his parents are urging him to marry this colleague back home.

What did my mother say in her original words: "Nowadays, the atmosphere is becoming more and more open, and there are many people who solve life-long affairs for themselves. We are a small family like ours, and there are not so many rules. I think you The girl is not bad. She grew up with the princess, and her upbringing is good. It doesn't matter if the family is poor, but our family is rich. I heard that the princess also values ​​you very much, so you can ask her to make you two happy, right?"

Dear mother, the female officials next to the princess in the court are not only the maids around the princess, but also many young ladies from official families.Besides, isn't there another princess here? Why did she just guess that she is the maid next to the princess?

Taking a peek at the princess in the crimson mansion, Lin Hongwen still felt a little sweet in his heart.Do you really match the princess well?But when he thought that he was just the son of a squire, and the princess was a golden branch and jade leaf, Lin Hongwen secretly scolded himself for being an annoying toad.

Wormwood was also pressed by Mrs. Zhang.The two imperial brothers have already resolved lifelong affairs, and now the queen mother is only staring at herself.Every day is either the son's or the son's.Ai Cao couldn't see her the most. They obviously didn't want to marry her, but because of her status as a princess, they insisted on joining her.

It's not like she didn't know that they all scolded her for being disobedient to women behind her back, and that it was indecent to go out to be an official.snort!They look down on themselves, and they look down on them!Even Lin Hongwen can't compare to one or two limbs that don't work hard, and the five grains can't be distinguished, let alone himself.

"What's the matter, it's not convenient for your family?" Ai Cao frowned.Lin Hongwen's home is right next to their Huangzhuang, and the food in their home is very suitable for her own appetite. She doesn't want to go back to the palace to listen to her mother's nagging, so she will change to a low-grade government to go to their home to eat. .Otherwise, the handicrafts of those nuns in the Huangzhuang would not be able to enter the mouth.After dinner in the evening, it would be safe for Lin Hongwen to send him back to Huangzhuang.

After dinner, the two walked along the knee-deep cornfields.The night breeze was blowing, listening to Lin Hongwen's silly words, Ai Cao suddenly felt that such a day was not bad.Accompanied by a person who is not so smart but is very comfortable to get along with, he will not mind that he is better than him, nor will he mind his bad temper, and he will not mind his status as a princess, bowing his knees to himself.

Under this star-studded sky, Ai Cao felt that she had experienced the heart-pounding feeling in the novel.

Who is Ai Cao? She is the only eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, the first female official of the Ming Dynasty to be a third-rank official, and the servant of the household department who does what she says.She has taken a fancy to Lin Hongwen, but can she let him run away?

It's just why this person is so unresponsive, he hinted clearly and secretly, why he didn't respond at all.Like it or not, you can give me a word!

The more Ai Cao thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.Tell me, why is my elder brother Du Ruo so straightforward? Although the second emperor brother and sister-in-law had some twists and turns, his sister-in-law didn't hang on to him like Lin Hongwen.He was fine, he just acted like he didn't see himself.

Here Lin Hongwen was also frightened by her. What does it mean to stop being an official in the future and just follow her to study farming?What is the big brother and the second brother are easy to get along with, don't worry.Lin Hongwen felt that he must be dreaming these few days, the princess actually took a fancy to him, how could this be possible?And the princess not only said these words to herself, but also coaxed her parents into a circle.

Now my parents are urging me to marry this girl who is general and sensible every day. They say that it doesn't matter if the woman is stronger than me. I have a soft temper and I am suitable to marry a girl who is stronger.But father and mother, this is a princess, not an ordinary woman.

Ai Cao thought, she needs to think of a plan, and she should finish this matter no matter what.

Lin Hongwen thought, he wanted to be quiet.Oh, no, he can't think about Jing Jing, what if the princess misunderstands who Jing Jing is.

It didn't take long before the news came out from the palace that the princess had chosen her son-in-law, but it was difficult to announce it because she hadn't asked the Southern Emperor Zhengde what she meant.As soon as this news came out, I don't know how many wives in Beijing sighed regretfully, only hating themselves for not making a quick decision and missing such a good opportunity.

Sure enough, he was being self-indulgent, Lin Hongwen thought dejectedly.In addition to being sad, he regretted that the princess didn't want to marry at first, if he had been more courageous before, would he have a chance?I heard that the person the princess is going to marry is a rich family, and the princess will definitely not be allowed to be an official in the future.

How could such an amazing and talented princess be confined to the backyard from now on.If the princess mainly married him... But, all this is impossible.

Even if it is impossible, Lin Hongwen still can't stop thinking, if the princess marries him, he will definitely take care of her, love her, care about her, make her happy when she is happy, worry about him when she is sad, and add clothes to her when she is cold , what she wants to do, let her do it happily, as long as the princess is happy.What kind of etiquette and women's morality, let it go to hell!

However, these words can only be thought about in private, Lin Hongwen murmured looking at the sky.

"How do you know, you can only think about it in private?"

Lin Hongwen sat up in surprise, looking at the bright beauty in front of him, his face slowly turned red to the base of his neck.

"Mother, why did you fall in love with Daddy back then?" Xiao Xin'er looked at her father's stupid look with disgust, and then looked at Mother, the two were not compatible at all.

"When this person is together, it doesn't matter whether they match or not. The important thing is that two people can tolerate each other. You can appreciate my strengths and I can tolerate your shortcomings. He will not feel unbalanced because of your achievements, nor will he Arguing with you because of your little temper. This is a person who is really worth your life."

Ai Cao looked at the sweaty and disheveled husband who brought her meals, and responded loudly: "Hey, we are here!"

This is how the years are quiet and good, and the world is stable.
