Chapter 255: Looking
Li Qian saluted Cao Xuan three times in a row, and said with a pun: "Thank you for Cheng'en Gong's success! I always remember that it was the Empress Dowager who specially summoned my father to Beijing to pay homage to my birthday, and it was the Empress Dowager who let me enter the Praetorian Guard, met the county lord of Jianan, and had me today. I also asked Grandpa Guo to go to Wanshou Mountain on my behalf to kowtow to the Queen Mother after returning to Beijing, saying that if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Beijing to see her old man. ”
Interpret his betrayal as a hero sad beauty pass.
Cao Xuanming knew that what he said meant something else, but he could only pinch his throat and drink this cup of bitter wine.
He can't say to the outside world that the Li family and the Jiang family have long been in collusion, right?
Then what else do their Cao family rely on?
Moreover, Li Qian's statement did not make Empress Dowager Cao lose face, but also gave the Li family a perfect explanation for suddenly marrying Jiang Xian.
Maybe that's better, right?
Cao Xuan thought calmly.
Strong as the Jiang family, mastering Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen for several generations, from time to time there are times of compromise, if he wants the Cao family not to be burdened by the prestige of the Queen Mother, and support the lintel of the Cao family, he should not care about compromise, but think about what kind of benefits and opportunities he can get after compromise.
Cao Xuan smiled and saluted Li Qian three cups, and said: "You don't need to say it, if the Queen Mother wants to blame you, she must blame you for such a big matter and don't discuss it with her, doesn't the Queen Mother have the grace of adult beauty? You deserve to be punished for these three cups. ”
Li Qian saluted Cao Xuan three more cups and said, "This matter is all my fault, and I will punish myself with three cups." ”
"It's pretty much the same!" Cao Xuan said with a smile, patted Li Qian's shoulder without reaching the bottom of his eyes, and said, "With Grandpa Guo and Master Qi here today, I won't embarrass you, and when you get married, I will have a few drinks with you to see which of us has a better amount of wine." ”
"Grandpa Guo, where do you want to compare the amount of alcohol with me, you are completely trying to make matters worse!" Li Qian complained half-truthfully.
Wang Zhan, who had been sitting there silently eating vegetables, suddenly stood up and said, "Don't worry, if he dares to drink with you that day, you can find me, and I will help you drink." As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and filled Li Qian's wine glass, "However, you don't have anything to do today, you have to have a few drinks with us to be serious." I'll do it first!!!
Li Qian smiled and didn't speak, drank the wine that Wang Zhan poured for him, and said, "Cousin Azan, thank you and Jianan for being companions all these years. Although Jianan is taken care of by the Queen Mother and protected by her uncle and aunt, after all, her cousins and cousins are not as old as her peers, and they can be naughty and play together. This glass, I salute Cousin Azan!" After speaking, he poured himself a glass of wine, raised his hand towards Wang Zhan, and dried it in one gulp.
Wang Zan smiled: "Jianan is my cousin, so I naturally want to protect him." If you dare to bully her in the future, be careful that I won't spare you!"
Jin Xiao couldn't help but ponder in her heart.
When Jiang Xian was kidnapped by Li Qian, Wang Zhan seemed to have lost half his life, and he thought that Wang Zhan liked Jiang Xian. But now he is so generous and decent, could he have guessed wrong before? The reason why Wang Zan is so anxious is entirely because Jiang Xian is a girl and she is nowhere to be found, so she is very worried?
He got up and laughed and coaxed, and also gave Wang Zan a cup.
Wang Zan did not refuse to come, and drank very boldly.
After a few drinks, there was a slight drunkenness.
Cao Xuan hurriedly smiled and relieved Wang Zan and said: Don't always stare at him. When we came, we brought the Queen Mother and the ladies and wives of various prefectures to add boxes to Jianan, and we were always trembling, for fear that it would be difficult to explain to the owner when we lost a piece, and it was more tiring than guarding our own things. Beware of getting him drunk. ”
"That's just as well. Jin Xiao smiled, "I am entrusted with the matter of loyalty." You have worked hard!" raised his glass and toasted Wang Zan again.
Wang Zan smiled and pulled Cao Xuan over to block in front of him, and said, "Cheng'en Gong, it's you who asked me to bet on things for the Queen Mother and the ladies, you have to help me block this wine!"
The crowd laughed.
Li Qian's gaze sank.
Then he felt a gaze that seemed to fall on him from time to time.
He turned his head quietly and met Deng Chenglu's gaze.
Deng Chenglu turned his head weakly.
Li Qian was stunned.
He had long known that the prince of An Luhou loved Jianan.
But he never thought it was a bad thing.
On the contrary, he believes that it is precisely because Jiang Xian is very good that he will attract the favor of many men.
Then Deng Chenglu looked at him like this, did he want to know if he was worthy of Jiang Xian?
He thought about it, nodded at Deng Chenglu with a smile, and said, "I heard that Sister Ling was given marriage by the emperor and promised to be married to the prince of Jin'an?
Deng Chenglu smiled when he heard this, and said, "We also grew up together." Before, my mother always thought that my sister was still young and wanted to find her a simple family, so she never thought of marrying my sister to the Cai family. Although the emperor said that he married my sister to Cai Lin because of the queen mother's blockage, Cai Lin is a good person, and our two families can be regarded as the right family. My father and mother are quite satisfied. After receiving the order, Mrs. Jin Anhou came to visit her mother, and privately gave Cai Lin a farm, a house, and a few shops. My mother also began to prepare a dowry for my sister, and discussed with the Cai family to set a wedding date on the fourth day of March next year. ”
In other words, whether it is the Deng family or the Cai family, they are all satisfied with this family business.
Li Qian was relieved.
In this way, Jiang Xian can also put this matter down.
Jiang Zhenyuan was drinking while chatting with Cao Xuan about the future: "...... You should persuade the Queen Mother that the emperor is already in charge of the government, and that there are some things that should be let go when he should let go. That's not a good thing!"
Cao Xuan smiled: "The Queen Mother also thinks so. But the emperor's actions are too absurd, the queen mother is really worried about the emperor, and the emperor is now unable to listen to anyone's words except for Wang Ge Lao and Lord Xiong. The Queen Mother was also a little anxious at that time. Now that the county lord of King Jian's family has been elected as the county lord of Qingyi, the queen mother not only lost her anger, but also called the emperor to Wanshou Mountain, and handed over the phoenix seal to the emperor in front of King Jian. ”
Li Qian was secretly glad when he heard this.
Fortunately, Jiang Xian did not marry Zhao Yi.
Before the county lord of Qingyi got married, the queen mother began to dig a pit for the county lord of Qingyi.
It seems that there will be a good show in the capital in the future.
Then Cao Xuan talked about the marriage between Zhao Xiao and the eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion of Jin'an: "...... The Queen Mother watched the days with Qin Tianjian and scheduled to be married on September 20. ”
After Wang Zan accompanied Zhao Xiao back to Beijing from Yaolin Temple, Zhao Xiao left Beijing overnight and returned to Fujian.
Li Qian smiled and invited Cao Xuan and the others: "You are rare guests from afar, and it is rare for us to get together." Tomorrow I will hold a banquet at home to wash the dust and catch the wind for you, and I also ask An Luhou Shizi to be sure to appreciate his face, and come to the cold house. ”
