Guanyin maid stood in front of the window and looked at the pear trees in the courtyard outside.

When I woke up overnight, the pear blossoms were already blooming, and it seemed like snow fell all night.

This house is very small, neither luxurious than the large house of the Changsun family before, nor as spacious as the large house of the uncle before.

But when she was eight years old, her father passed away, and she, her mother and brother Wuji were kicked out of the Changsun family's mansion. Fortunately, my uncle took them in, but after a few years, my uncle was demoted because of being implicated by Huosizheng.

My uncle was demoted from Jiaozhi and could not take his wife and mother with him, so he asked his aunt Xian Yu to help take care of him. My uncle was worried that after leaving, his mother and mother would not be taken care of him, so he specially sold the house's large mansion and bought two small courtyards, one of which was left for his aunt and grandmother to live in, and the other was given to their mother and three.

This small courtyard is not big, but it is a home for Changsun.

Brother Wuji's figure appeared in the yard. He came back from outside and soon, he had already arrived downstairs. "Sister, come down quickly, I have brought you delicious snacks."

Wugui cleaned up and went downstairs.

My brother always loves him the most and brings her snacks every time he goes out.

"elder brother!"

Changsun Wuji is twenty years old this year, tall and mighty, very much like his father Changsun Sheng. However, because he was kicked out of the house by his half-brother Sun Anye when he was in his teens, he has been staying in his uncle's house and cannot receive family care. So now he is twenty years old, but Changsun Wuji is still just a commoner.

He neither was able to study in the Imperial College nor was able to enter the palace to be a guard.

Although he was also diligent with the help of his uncle, he was well-versed in literature and history, and was skilled in archery and horses, but after all, no one helped him and became a child soon, and he was still in vain. Now that his uncle was demoted, he was even more unattended.

Fortunately, he has finally grown up and can take care of himself.

"Sister, guess who did I see today?"

"who?"

"When I came back just now, I saw Luo Cheng, Duke of Chu. He was so young. He rode a famous Dayuan horse given by the emperor, wearing golden armor, and followed by a team of elite knights, as if he was accompanying the emperor to hunt in the suburbs."

Speaking of Luo Cheng, Changsun Wuji's eyes were full of yearning.

As early as three years ago, as Luo Cheng's achievements in conquering Liao continued to be returned, Changsun Wuji gradually regarded this man who was about the same age as him as his idol.

As a child of the Changsun family, he always fantasized that one day he would be able to ride a horse on the frontier, make achievements, and then fight for an imperial edict for his mother.

He hopes that one day he can return to Changsun's family and let Changsun Anye and others see that he can still make a name for himself, not by the honor of his father and family.

"Sister, if I want to join the army, I will surrender to Luo Cheng. Now Your Majesty has set up a Taoist envoy, and there are eleven counties in Andong Road, and the commander of the army is 50,000 yuan. However, the Goguryeo people still occupy the five counties. Sooner or later, there will definitely be a battle, which is a good opportunity to make achievements."

Changsun Wuji was happy when he said that, but he saw that his sister didn't seem to react.

"What's wrong? I don't seem to be very happy? Don't worry, I won't have any trouble. My martial arts are not bad."

'I know my brother has good martial arts skills." Wugui said.

"Then why are you unhappy?"

"nothing."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, but Wuji saw that his sister seemed to be in poor spirits, so he didn't talk much.

He brought another bag of snacks to his mother.

"Mom, it seems that my sister has something to worry about today. Do you know what's going on?"

Gao smiled and said to his son, "It's a good thing. You know you're running outside all day long, but you don't know yet. In the morning, the third lady of the Duke of Chu's mansion came over and came to propose marriage."

"The third lady of the Duke of Chu's Mansion? Is it Shimin's third sister? Is she here to propose marriage to Shimin?" Wuji asked.

Changsun Wuji is two years older than Li Shimin. He knows each other and has a good relationship. Before, the Li family intends to marry Li Shimin. Wuji and the Gao family know that this matter is just an intention and has not been formally discussed.

"It is Sanniang, the daughter of Duke Tang, but she did not propose marriage for Li Erlang, but for Duke Chu."

"What's the meaning?"

"The third lady said that the Duke of Chu heard that your sister was very talented and gentle, so she intended to be included in the Duke of Chu's Mansion."

Gao did not object to this proposal. Although he was taking a concubine, Luo Cheng was the one who took the concubine.

Although she also knew that the Li family wanted to get married before, but since her brother was demoted, the matter was gone. She was also a smart person, so she didn't know the reason.

When she was kicked out of Changsun’s house, she had lost her husband’s house. Now that her brother has been demoted, she has lost her care for her parents’ house.

Although my brother bought them a small courtyard before leaving, there was no property left, and he spent all day and life was very difficult.

Besides, if the daughter enters the Duke of Chu's Mansion, it would be natural to arrange an errand for her son with Luo Cheng's status and help her become an official.

My son is already twenty years old and is about to become a child, but he is still a white child.

Even with Luo Cheng's status, he might even be able to bring his brother back to Beijing. No matter how bad he is, Luo Yi has been appointed as the governor of Annan, and his brother who was demoted to Jiaozhi can be taken care of even under Luo Yi's rule.

No matter what, this is a good thing.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a long time.

"Luo Cheng wants to marry his sister?"

"It's a lie." Gao corrected that Luo Cheng already had a wife, and even Li Sanniang, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Tang's mansion, could only be taken as a concubine, and Cui Qiniang, the daughter of the Minister of Works, wasn't he also Luo Cheng's concubine?

"Oh, Luo Cheng wants to take his sister as his concubine?"

"Yeah, yes."

"Mother, did you agree?" Wuji asked.

"Sanniang came here today and just asked about Wei Niang what she meant. I said I would like to ask you brother and sister and I will give you a formal reply in two days."

Wuji let out a long sigh.

"But haven't you agreed with the Duke Tang Mansion before that your sister promised Shimin?"

"Son, don't mention that matter again. At the beginning, it was just a verbal statement. Neither the engagement nor the marriage ceremony was made. Now that your uncle has been demoted from Jiaozhi, the Li family will not mention this matter anymore. Do you still understand? The Li family looks down on our family!"

"But they always have to give us an explanation."

"Hey, my son, this is the marriage of this powerful family. It is normal for the Li family to regret it. Even if they have an engagement, they can regret it. Besides, there has never been a formal agreement. Since they dislike us, there is no need for us to stick to them."

"But how can my sister be a concubine?" Wuji couldn't accept this and married Li Shimin. Although he was the second son of the Duke of Tang's mansion, he was the second son of the legitimate son after all.

"Wuji, Luo Cheng is actually quite good. Not only is he in a high position at a young age, but he is also said to be very good to his wives and concubines. Look at Li Yuan, if he had not given Sanniang to Luo Cheng as his concubine, I was afraid that the Li family of the Duke of Tang's Mansion would have suffered disaster at this time, so how could he still serve as an important position in the border throne like the Li family of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion?

Changsun Wuji was stunned and was stunned. He saw Luo Cheng's majesty on the street just now, and he was very envious and admired him very much. Unexpectedly, when he was going home, he actually heard that his sister wanted to be a concubine for Luo Cheng.
