Rong Sleeping Crane was also surprised when he heard that Huan Yehe actually recommended himself as Gongsun Xi's wife, and said after groaning: "Then you will ask Ah Xi what he means tomorrow?"

Sheng Weiqiao knew that he didn't object to saying this, so he bowed his head and said, "I'll go back and talk to him." ”

The next morning, after Sheng Weiqiao got up and finished freshening up, he sent someone to invite Gongsun Xi to come over, and told him Huan Yehe's thoughts, and finally said, "What do you think?"

"What did the county king say?" Gongsun Xi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and asked in a low voice.

Sheng Weiqiao said: "Mizhen said that it depends on your own meaning, in the end, you will live after you get married." ”

"......" Gongsun Xi thought for a while, and said, "If the king thinks it's okay, that's it!"

Sheng Weiqiao felt that he and Huan Yehe were too rash in their life's affairs, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to think about it again?"

Gongsun Xi looked at her when he heard this, and said, "Doesn't Niangniang like the county lord Jingshu?"

Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said: "Of course not. ”

"Doesn't the county king like the county lord Jingshu?" asked Gongsun Xi again.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao shaking his head, he smiled, "Then what else do you want?" The county lord is from a noble background, talented and beautiful, how many people want such a wife but can't get it, but they are willing to marry me...... Am I still going to put on a show?"

Sheng Weiqiao had nothing to say, and said, "Then I'll send someone to tell the county lord later." ”

Huan Yehe was carefully dressed up and took the initiative to recommend himself, and at this time, Gongsun Xi nodded, and she began to urge the six rites.

Because Gongsun Xi has no father and no mother, this kind of thing, of course, is Sheng Weiqiao, who is his sister-in-law, and the whole Yongyi Bofu has been persuaded by Huan Yehe in advance. Neither of them is a scheming person, and they both sincerely want to get married, and this is making rapid progress.

Within a few days, the matter was announced to the public.

After the news spread, Mrs. Qin was so angry that she called her eldest son Zhao Shi back and said: "Let's rush to help Mizhen so much, he himself refuses to marry Tao Cheng, and now he even wants to listen to the words of the Sheng family to stop him from marrying Tao Zhen! If this continues, when will he ascend to the ninth five-year position, won't our family be unlucky?!"

Zhao Shi was also very disappointed that Zhao Taocheng and Gongsun Xi failed to succeed, he had always disapproved of Mrs. Qin's arrangement of her daughter's marriage, that is, she tried to kill Sheng Weiqiao and replace her.

But Gongsun Xi, the son-in-law he personally selected, didn't even have a maid to serve. Zhao Shi felt that with his daughter's talent and family background, Gongsun Xi didn't like it!

Now Old Madam Qin firmly believes that the reason why this family affair did not succeed is because the Sheng family deliberately obstructed it in order to retaliate against the Zhao family's calculation of Sheng Weiqiao before.

Zhao Shi's face is not very good-looking, after all, when he was in Northern Xinjiang before, when he mentioned this family matter to Sheng Weiqiao and his wife, Sheng Weiqiao and his wife swore that as long as Zhao Taocheng looked at Sun Xi, there would be no problem.

As a result, at this time, Gongsun Xi quietly married Huan Ye!

Regardless of whether it was the Sheng family's revenge or not, how could Zhao Shi be happy in his heart?

After all, he thought that he hadn't done anything to be sorry for Sheng Weiqiao, and he had even persuaded Old Madam Qin many times earlier not to calculate this princess of Mizhen County!

The Sheng family wants to be angry, as for their daughter?

Originally, Zhao Taocheng was very embarrassed for a while because of what happened to Rong Sleeping Crane back then.

Later, due to Mrs. Qin's attitude towards the marriage of her granddaughters and her avoidance under shame, she delayed for a long time, and she did not officially look at the husband candidate.

The rebellion in Chang'an in the middle turned around unconsciously.

At this time, Zhao Taocheng is already eighteen years old, and she has not yet left the cabinet at this time, which is enough to cause rumors.

Especially Zhao Taocheng's beautiful appearance and good family background, this situation will not marry for a long time, which inevitably makes many people speculate in vain, either out of jealousy, or out of fear that the world will not be chaotic, and many whispers are really not good.

Although Zhao Shi himself is not a person who is afraid of rumors, just like the parents who love their children all over the world, he doesn't care about being talked about, but he doesn't want the pearl in his palm to be hurt like this.

What's more, he has always thought that he is a reasonable person, if Zhao Taocheng has been in the boudoir so far, it is due to his own reasons, even if he regrets it, he will not have any resentment.

But at this time, it is clear that his daughter is not wrong with anything, but she has suffered twists and turns again and again in her life's events...... Who can not grieve for their own flesh and blood?

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go to Mizhen tomorrow and ask him face to face!" Zhao Shi's expression was gloomy for a while, and he said coldly, "Although my uncle has not met him much, he has not known him for a long time...... However, if he still has a little conscience, he should give me an explanation anyway!"

However, Old Madam Qin did not approve of this kind of practice: "I told you earlier that we are in this kind of family, and we are in charge of the military, and we must be careful in what we say and do! No matter how close we are in that seat, we must not seriously let down our guard and treat others as relatives and our own people!"

He sighed, "The wind on the pillow is very powerful, if it is Tao Cheng who is the concubine for Mizhen at this time, where does such a thing come from? ”

"Mother, I think Mizhen shouldn't have done such a thing, but she won't give it to our family at all. Zhao Shi was silent for a while, but still shook his head, "You have to try." ”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Old Madam Qin snorted coldly and said, "You go and try it, but if you don't ask, everyone can still pretend to be confused and leave a face...... At this time, the climate of dense chastity has been completed, and when the time comes, he will not do anything endlessly...... Think about it for yourself, does our family still have the ability to protect itself?"

However, after Zhao Shi thought about it, he still found Rong Sleeping Crane and asked Gongsun Xi why he left Zhao Taocheng and married Huan Ye?

"Uncle, let me ask you something first. Rong Sleeping Crane had been waiting for him for a long time, and after being dismissed at this time, he personally poured him a cup of tea, and asked calmly, "It is said that you have always loved your children, especially the third cousin, the youngest daughter, who is the pearl of your palm...... But I don't know, what do you think about your cousin's marriage?"

"Is it as long as she marries in a beautiful way and is beneficial to her mother's family, or is it like my father-in-law, and the daughter must be happy herself?"

Zhao Shi frowned and said, "I naturally hope that Tao Cheng will have a happy life!"

"Then let me tell you something, I only found out about this after I came back to Chang'an. Rong Sleeping Crane sighed, "If I had known it in Northern Xinjiang, I wouldn't have agreed to Ah Xi's third cousin anyway!"

"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Shi was stunned, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Ah Xi?"

"He's also confused for a while!" Rong Sleepy Crane approached him with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "It's just that he provoked other people, and he was the first one in the palace! Now that person is pregnant, he doesn't even have anything to do with His Majesty! Uncle also knows, Ah Xi grew up with me, although I don't mean to be small, but if Ah Xi is to hug left and right in the future, spend all day drinking, I don't care about anything...... The premise is that his wife is not the third cousin, in that case, not to mention how I will explain to my uncle and you, just say that because of my cousin relationship with the third cousin, I can't cheat my own people like this, right?"

"It's such a big thing, and it's not good to ask the people below to bring a message, I think I have to tell my uncle in person!"

"It's just that now my every move, Chang'an is watching it all over the world. ”

"If you rush to see your uncle, it will inevitably cause a lot of discussion!"

"Speaking of which, I've been waiting for my uncle to come this time. When Rong Sleeping Crane said this, he took a sip of tea, his expression sincere and calm.

Zhao Shi frowned for a long time before he said, "Then what's the matter with the county lord Jingshu?"

"This Kang Zhao and I are also unexpectedly tight!" Rong Sleeping Crane showed a helpless look and said, "After knowing what happened to Ah Xi and the one in the palace, where do we dare to tell our cousin to him?

As a result, at this time, the county lord Jingshu didn't know where to hear the rumors, so he took the initiative to come to the door and recommend himself. ”

"The county lord confessed, she didn't really love Ah Xi, but she valued Ah Xi's future, so if Ah Xi had some acts like messing with flowers and grass, as long as she was guaranteed the status of her children in the future, she didn't care!"

Kang Zhao then went to ask Ah Xi, and Ah Xi had no opinion, so it was decided...... This is also afraid that my cousin will be misunderstood: Ah Xi went to Zhao Mansion to meet her grandmother the day after she was recognized by us, how can a discerning person not suspect that she went on a blind date with her cousin?"

"Now in a few days, Ah Xi will marry the county lord of Jingshu, so the outside will think: This is because Ah Xi and the county lord of Jingshu originally had a marriage contract, but it was just to recognize the righteous brother and visit the Zhao Mansion to raise his identity, so as not to be worthy of the county lord...... After all, the county lord is a well-known lady in Chang'an City, isn't he?"

Zhao Shi didn't speak for a while, and then said, "I see...... I know. ”

He didn't talk about Zhao Taocheng's marriage to Gongsun Xi, but asked Empress Meng, "Mizhen, what are you going to do with her and the heirs in her belly?"

Rong Sleepy Crane sneered and said, "This slut is bad for my five generals of the Wuyi Battalion, what does my uncle think I should do?"

Zhao Shi said: "However, she is the queen after all, so it is not good to deal with her openly." ”

He also said, "For the sake of today, of course, you will ascend the throne quickly! But whether it is Emperor Xuanjing, Meng Guiyu and others, they will definitely try their best to stop you." ”

"So military power is very important!"

He raised his eyes and looked at his nephew, "I am a civilian official, whether I lead troops to fight or train soldiers, in fact, I am a layman." Over the years, I have barely stayed in the army just to restrain the Meng family! All along, I have been looking forward to reuniting with my family. This point, whether it is you or Kang Zhao, you must have known it in your heart!"

"Therefore, I came here today, in addition to asking about Tao Cheng's marriage, I just told you that it is right to choose another merit for the Northern Xinjiang Army, but it is serious to get me an official position in the court!"
