Chapter 721: Happy Event
Agui is a little guy who has been waiting by Zhao Mo's side since he was a child, and he is loyal to him.
At the beginning, Zhao Mo was abandoned by his father Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo sent his eldest son to the Wen family of the former Yue's family in Datong for the sake of his newly married stepwife Xiao Wang. And the Wang family secretly contacted the Wen family, and the two families colluded to put Zhao Mo under house arrest, intending to be unfavorable to him. In order to protect Zhao Mo and help him escape, Agui was seriously injured. Although he later saved his life, he was scarred and disfigured on his face. He was a servant from the palace, and after he thought that he had disfigured his appearance, he lost the qualification to wait in front of his master. So Zhao Mo handed over the only private property he had in his hands and let him take care of it.
Now that many years have passed, Zhao Mo is not what it used to be, and Agui is naturally no longer the poor little guy he was back then. He is now in charge of all Zhao Mo's industries in Zhili, including granges, shops, warehouses, etc., and occasionally participates in the operation of shipping companies and commercial houses, which can be said to be in power. Because of the injury on his face, he would not go out to meet people unless necessary, and he would not often come to the palace of Suyang County in the capital. is not like Ah Shou, he is a well-known confidant of Zhao Mo. But even so, none of the people under the name of the Suyang County Royal Mansion dared to underestimate him.
Of course, Qin Hanzhen knows Ah Gui, and has seen him several times, knowing that he is an honest and loyal person, and he may have a slightly aggressive style of doing things, but considering his experience, this is also understandable. However, she vaguely remembered that Ah Gui was the oldest of Zhao Mo's confidants, in his twenties, and he should be married.
She couldn't help but ask Zhao Mo: "Doesn't Agui already have a fiancée? I remember that she is the daughter of a rich businessman's family, isn't it? Why do you ask to marry our girl now? I can explain in advance that my girl will never be a concubine for anyone! Even if Agui is your confidant and has been the Savior, there is no need to discuss!"
Zhao Mo hurriedly said: "Look where do you want to go? Even if it is Agui, if you want to take a concubine, you have to find someone by yourself, and there is no reason to hit your girl with the idea." He originally decided to marry him, but later found out that something was not quite right with his fiancée's family, so he withdrew from the marriage again. Therefore, he is still a bachelor before he is married!"
Speaking of which, Agui is also a little unlucky. Originally, he met his ex-fiancée by chance, which can be regarded as a good story. The other party is the daughter of a rich businessman's family, although he is not a wealthy and noble family, but he is also solid enough. That girl has also been studying since she was a child, and she was born beautiful and moving, with a gentle temperament, and she and her family do not dislike that Agui is a servant, and the wealth in his hands is not owned by him, but operated for the master. The girl is willing to marry with a large number of dowries, and who who does not envy Agui's good life? No one thought that the family was deliberately plotting this family affair, and even the love at first sight that Ah Gui thought was deliberately done by the other party, in order to use his marriage to climb to the Suzhou County Palace, and then borrow the power of the County Palace, to seek benefits for their own family.
If that's all it takes, it's okay, it's impossible to marry a man who is willing to marry his beloved daughter to a man who was born as a servant. If the other party hadn't gone too far and got along well with Agui, Zhao Mo would have opened one eye and closed another. However, the family was not greedy enough, not only wanted to use Agui to climb Zhao Mo for their own benefit, but also wanted to use the power of the Suyang County Mansion to encroach on the property of another clan in the family. At the same time, they also plan to meddle in the royal property that Agui is responsible for, steal the interests of the royal mansion, and fatten themselves.
After discovering the plot of the future Yue family, Agui did not relent, and immediately chose to withdraw from the marriage. No matter how much his fiancée cried and cursed, he was unmoved. Seeing that the other party was making a big fuss, he did not hesitate to play the banner of the Suyang County Mansion to suppress the other party. It wasn't until the other party's family property shrank by half and he lost in the family infighting, knowing that he had provoked the wrong person and honestly stopped, that he gave up.
It's just that in this way, everyone in the world knows that Agui is not easy to handle, and he is ruthless, and he wants to use him to seek the benefits of the palace, which is delusional, and no one dares to propose to him anymore. Agui's family affairs were delayed, and it was not until he was not young that he finally made up his mind to marry a daughter-in-law.
However, this time, he no longer considered marrying from outside, and directly asked Zhao Mo to pick someone from among the girls in the palace, and the best one to wait in the main courtyard. Because the girls waiting in the main courtyard are basically loyal and reliable, and all aspects such as upbringing and etiquette are above the level, even if they are not beautiful enough, they are at least with good facial features. Considering his identity, Agui felt that it was better to marry a wife from the same background as himself. The husband and wife are equally loyal to the palace of Suyang County, and their words and deeds are more compatible with their views and views on world affairs, and they will not be incompatible with each other.
Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "When he came to the mansion last time, he mentioned that he wanted to ask to marry a girl who was waiting in our courtyard. As long as you are of the right age, sensible and loyal, you can do it, and appearance, rank, talent, and skill are all secondary. I told him to let him pick someone by himself, and if he chooses it, and the other party is willing to marry him, then I will make the decision for him. I also told him that if the person he fancied did not want to marry him, he would not let him come, because the princess would not let others bully her girl. It's only been a few days, and he's here again, I'm afraid someone has chosen someone, right?"
Qin Hanzhen squinted at him: "Why don't you tell me about this? He wants to pick someone from my girl, and I have to say hello to everyone, right?
Zhao Mo hurriedly smiled and coaxed Qin Hanzhen and said: "Can I still stand him so presumptuous?" Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do rude things, it's just that when he does daily errands, he can contact the girls in our courtyard, try to say a few words, and get along." There will be no more. If you don't believe me, you just have to ask the mother-in-law guarding the door to see if Agui has ever done anything unruly?"
Qin Hanzhen just said this, but he couldn't help but say a few more words: "You should have told me in advance!"
Zhao Mo smiled dryly, no. In fact, he really wanted to tell Qin Hanzhen that day, but he was busy that day, and he forgot about it when he turned around, but now he remembered it, but it was too late. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt. If you don't tell your wife in advance, and the girl waiting in the main courtyard doesn't know in advance, maybe you can have less trouble. Although Agui is disfigured, he is indeed a big steward with real power in his hands. In case there is a girl who is vain and wants to take the opportunity to take the initiative to climb, in fact, she is not sincere. Ah Gui didn't guard for a while, marrying the wrong person, wouldn't it affect his life? Like now, all the girls look at Ah Gui with a normal heart, and Ah Gui can really have a chance to find a suitable woman for himself.
Qin Hanzhen was not really angry, so he asked Zhao Mo to coax a few words, and then calmed down. She stared at Zhao Mo and ate something to make supper, urging him to rest early. When she woke up the next morning, Zhao Mo had already finished freshening up, changed into auspicious clothes, and was ready to enter the palace. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently pressed Qin Hanzhen's shoulder: "I slept late yesterday, you can sleep a little longer." You don't have to wait for me for lunch, I'm supposed to eat in the palace. ”
Qin Hanzhen propped up his body and looked out the window: "It seems to be a cloudy day today, you remember to ask someone to bring an umbrella and a cloak, just in case." Before going out, remember to have breakfast before leaving, and you are not allowed to enter the palace on an empty stomach!"
Zhao Mo agreed with a smile, pressed her back into the quilt, and said, "I'll go to have breakfast, and I can see Agui by the way, and see which girl he has chosen." ”
Qin Hanzhen said: "If you ask for a name, remember to send someone to send me a letter." I'd better ask the girl if she wants to. ”
Zhao Mo responded, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and turned to leave. Qin Hanzhen fell asleep, and when he got up, it was already bright. She got up to freshen up, and when she was having breakfast, Feng'er came in with an envelope: "This is from the outer courtyard, saying that it is a note written by the prince to the princess before going out, and it has been said in advance." ”
Qin Hanzhen understood as soon as he heard it: "Show it to me." She put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the envelope and opened it, and took out the short note inside, on which the words "lotus fruit" were scribbled, and she couldn't help but be surprised. But after thinking about it carefully, I think this answer is very reasonable.
Agui wants an honest and loyal wife, Lianshi is just such a person, and she is the big girl she marries, whether it is identity or loyalty, it is very suitable. Thinking of Qin Hanzhen yesterday when he came back from the Chengenhou Mansion, he asked about the affairs of the mansion, and Lianshi reported to her that Agui had arrived in the mansion, and his expression was a little strange, maybe the two had a private relationship.
Qin Hanzhen pondered for a moment, then stuffed the strip back into the envelope and continued to eat breakfast. After eating, he instructed Feng'er: "You let Lianshi come here." ”
Feng'er glanced at the strip, still wondering what was going on, so she answered when she heard the words, and after a while, she brought Lianshi in.
Qin Hanzhen only left Lian Shi in the house, and everyone else called out. This movement inevitably attracted the attention of others. Lian Rui saw it from a distance and wanted to inquire, but only Feng'er was the only person in the house who asked, and naturally only Feng'er was most likely to know. She felt awkward, so she urged Lianye to ask for herself.
Lianye glanced at her, but she still helped her and went to ask Feng'er. How could Feng'er tell the truth? What's more, she didn't know in the first place: "I don't know. I will do whatever the princess tells me to do. ”
Lianye could see that Feng'er was telling the truth, so she didn't ask any more, and turned around and told Lian Rui. Lian Rui was skeptical: "Which of the princess's affairs does she not know? Lianye glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, Feng'er is not such a person." Why does she have to show herself to us? She doesn't show off, and she's the one who is most valued. You're less sour here!"
Lian Rui was choked, but she was speechless.
Qin Hanzhen didn't call Lianshi to speak alone for a long time, and after a while, he called the first- and second-class girls and decent mothers-in-law in, and happily announced to everyone: "Agui asked the prince and me to marry Lianshi, and Lianshi also agreed. When I was not served, I asked someone to pick a good day for them, and the decision was to marry the two of them. This is a happy event for our royal palace, and everyone should congratulate Lianshi. She's the first of you to get married, and she's always been good friends with everyone, so don't forget to put makeup on her when you go back. As he spoke, he also rewarded Lianshi with a rich dowry, and rewarded her with a complete set of silver-headed noodles, ten coarse silks, and ten Songjiang cloths.
Everyone was surprised, Feng'er was the first to congratulate Lianshi, and then Baiqiao, lotus leaves, lotus clothes, nectar, and before the rain they also congratulated Lianshi. Lian Rui was too surprised and fell behind. Seeing Lianshi shyly accepting everyone's blessings, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
