Zhu Biao and his son left, but Li Jie was left alone by Lao Zhu. Li Jie thought that Lao Zhu wanted to talk to him about the King of Jin. After all, King of Jin was about to be escorted to the capital for disposal, but Lao Zhu had not said where to send Zhu Qi.

But what Li Jie never expected was that Lao Zhu suddenly asked, "Your sister is almost adult, right?"

"Uh? Di'er is indeed almost adult." Li Jie was stunned for a moment before answering. Di'er is fifteen years old this year and is indeed almost adult. Before, Li Jie's parents moved to Beijing and lived in the house next to the princess, which is convenient for the two families to move around. Di'er often goes to chat with Zhu Yuning and tease the meatballs by the way.

"Can you be married?" Lao Zhu asked again.

"Not yet, Your Majesty, what do you mean..." Li Jie also guessed what Lao Zhu meant when he heard this. Since Lao Zhu asked about Dier's situation, he probably had already found out whether Dier was getting married.

"The Wu Lao family's Youzhuan is about the same age as your sister and has no marriage. I want to betroth your sister to him as his wife. What do you think?" Lao Zhu did not make a decision directly, but sought Li Jie's opinions. It seemed that if Li Jie was unwilling, he would not force him.

When Li Jie heard that Lao Zhu wanted to betroth the flute to Zhu Youzhu, he was stunned for a moment. When he went to Kaifeng, Zhu Youzhu left a very good impression on him. This young man was not only smart and precocious, but also had a very gentle personality. In addition, he had a very good reputation in history. Only considering these aspects, he was indeed a good candidate for his brother-in-law.

However, Li Jie was still a little hesitant. After all, as a later generation, he still valued feelings more. At the beginning, he and Zhu Yuning were forced by the situation. Fortunately, both of them had real feelings, so their life after marriage was very harmonious. However, Li Jie could not guarantee whether Dier would like Zhu Youzhu. No matter how good Zhu Youzhu is, Dier could not do anything. Forcing them to unite would probably only cause misfortune in the marriage.

Perhaps seeing Li Jie hesitating, Lao Zhu also spoke again: "You don't have to make a decision now. I have asked You Zhuo to come to the capital. You will see you later."

"Thank you for your understanding!" Li Jie saw that Lao Zhu was thinking about him so much, and immediately thanked him again. However, when he said this, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, I want to ask, why does Your Majesty betrothed with Youzhuan?"

Zhu Youzhuo was the prince of the Zhou king. Di'er married him, that is, the princess of Zhou in the future. His identity was extraordinary. However, although Di'er was Li Jie's sister, she was born to Aunt Zhao. According to the ancients' concept, her status was not very high, and marrying Zhu Youzhuo was actually a bit high.

After being silent for a while about Li Jie's question, Lao Zhu suddenly sighed and said, "I have five sons with the queen. Biao'er is not only a qualified prince, but also a good son. The fourth brother is also good, but the second brother and the third brother have made big mistakes one after another. Now the second brother has changed a lot, and I am quite pleased."

Lao Zhu paused after saying this before continuing: "As for Lao Wu, although he usually looks honest, he actually has his own ideas. This time he happened to hit him with the third brother's affairs. I guess he can be more honest. But I am not at ease, so I want Youzhuan to get married early and take over the matter of the Zhou royal palace, so as not to do anything else!"

When Li Jie heard this, he finally understood that Lao Zhu was really good at calculating. This time, King Jin caused trouble, and actually reminded Lao Zhu that he would prevent his other sons from fighting with Zhu Biao after his death, so Zhu Jian was escorted back to Beijing.

Compared to Zhu Qi, King Zhu Su, Zhou, hid deeper, but he still did not escape Lao Zhu's eyes. It would be normal to take the opportunity to hit him. He even wanted the prince Zhu Youshu to take over the Zhou royal mansion in advance. If Zhu Qi Su was smarter, he would definitely be more restrained in the future.

As for the marriage between Dier and Zhu Youzhu, it was actually a win-win situation. With this marriage, Li Jie, who had already been on the royal chariot, was tied up by Lao Zhu even more firmly. In addition, with this marriage, Li Jie and the King of Zhou have a kinship relationship. In the future, if the Zhu Biao and the other people want to attack the vassal kings, Li Jie can also protect the King of Zhou.

From the above, we can see that it is really not easy for Lao Zhu. After all, the palms and backs of his hands are flesh. Although he favors Zhu Biao alone, he is also very concerned about other sons. Even if he is a son like Zhu Chuang and Zhu Jian who do something that disappoints him, Lao Zhu will still give them a chance.

"I understand. Your Majesty's long-term thoughts are very much admired. As for Youzhuan, I didn't have time to get along well with him last time when he came to the capital. This time I could take him around and take the opportunity to meet Di'er. If the two of them were interested, I would naturally be willing to let Di'er marry a good husband's family!" Li Jie immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Well, I am old and I don't have the energy to worry about some things. The prince has too many things, so there will inevitably be some omissions. You have to help me!" Old Zhu nodded after hearing this.

In fact, Lao Zhu was also a little hesitant about the marriage between Zhu Youzhu and Dier. The reason why he wanted to marry Dier to Zhu Youzhu was mainly to appease Li Jie. First, the importance of Li Jie himself, and second, Li Jie was injured in order to save Zhu Yunyu, so this marriage was more like Lao Zhu's compensation for Li Jie's injury.

However, Lao Zhu was also worried about Dier's origin. Zhu Youzun was his grandson and the prince of the Zhou royal family. He asked him to marry a illegitimate woman. Lao Zhu was also worried that Zhu Youzun would be repulsed, so he did not say anything. It just so happened that Li Jie seemed to hesitate, so both of them expressed only one intention. As for whether it could be successful, it depends on the thoughts of Zhu Youye and Dier.

After talking about family affairs, Lao Zhu finally changed his subject and immediately spoke again: "The third brother is going to be escorted back to Beijing soon. I want him to go abroad like the second brother and the fourth brother, but now there is no suitable place. I want him to go to America, but it is too far away. Where do you think it is appropriate to let him go?"

"This..." Li Jie also showed a hesitant look when he heard this. After a while, he spoke, "Report to Your Majesty, I think the Nanyang side is the most suitable!"

"Didn't Lao Liu go to Nanyang? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let Lao San go?" Lao Zhu frowned when he heard this. Zhu Zhen had already captured Annan and developed into Nanyang based on this. Although the progress was very slow, it seemed that it was not suitable to send other people.
