Chapter 269: Lobbyist

Seeing his respectful attitude, Tu Hongyi didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his hand: "I've seen the prince of Anguo." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Shi Jingze invited him to take a seat and ordered: "Come to a pot of Biluochun, and then serve four plates and four plates of pastries, and we will talk while drinking." ”

Biluochun is Tu Hongyi's favorite tea, and his preferences are easy to inquire. Since he has to do things, Shi Jingze is used to doing things well.

Tu Hongyi was surprised, the dignified prince of Anguo, and he had never crossed paths on weekdays, so he couldn't be so polite to himself, right?

The chief went with the order, and after a while, he brought Xiao Er up, made hot tea, and put on the four-color dishes of crispy peanuts, fennel beans, beef jerky, and bean skin, mung bean cake, rose crisp, poria cake, and hibiscus cake.

Xiao Er retreated, and Chang Sui turned around and covered the door, leaving this space for the two of them.

Tu Hongyi glanced at the table full in front of him, and did not move his chopsticks. He must first hear what is going on.

Seeing his thoughts, Shi Jingze smiled loudly and said, "Dr. Tu doesn't need to be suspicious, I came here today to pay a special visit, but I am happy to you." ”

"I don't know, where does the joy come from?"

"I'll get straight to the point. The second lady of Fuzhong is very smart, and Liu Qiran, the prince of Pingguo Mansion, sincerely asks to marry, and asks me to unite the two. ”

"Pingguo Gong?!" Tu Hongyi blurted out in surprise, his face sank: "Lord Shizi, are you joking with the lower officials?"

Shi Jingze hurriedly grabbed him: "Dr. Tu, I'm really not joking. Although my Anguo Mansion has been silent all these years, it is not the family that has done evil. I'm in Beijing, and I have a bit of a reputation. ”

Tu Hongyi slowly sat down, with the status of the Anguo Mansion, he really couldn't do it.

"Dr. Tu, listen to me, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it. At the peony flower party, Liu Qiran met the second lady in the house, he was a bastard and deserved to be rectified by the second lady. But after that, he never forgot the second lady, and knew that if he came to the door rashly, you would not allow it, so he asked me to say yes. ”

"In this way, is he sincere?" Because of Wu Niangzi, his family has a grudge with the Pingguo Mansion. There is no reason for this grievance, and it would be great if it could be unraveled, but it was a good story.

"It couldn't be more sincere. If you want to embarrass the Tu family, you can come to the door to ask for marriage with gongs and drums, so that Miss Tu's reputation will be damaged. ”

It's this principle, Tu Hongyi groaned.

Shi Jingze beckoned: "Come, drink tea first." There's no hurry, you think about it slowly. I poured him a cup of tea.

Tu Hongyi picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Although this happened suddenly, it sounds a little ridiculous. But when you think about it, it makes sense. The Tu family and the Pingguo Mansion have no deep hatred, it's just that his father hurt the face of the Pingguo Gong. Speaking of which, that Wu Niangzi is just a matter in the Pingguo clan, not himself.

It's just that Liu Qiran has always been a bastard, and he is a tyrant in Beijing. Pingguo Gong has no mediocre ability, relying on the title to eat the imperial court rice, fortunately, there is a lot of industry in the house, otherwise he would have been sitting on the mountain and eating empty.

Moreover, the reputation of the Pingguo Mansion has been bad over the years, and all the children from top to bottom have not become successful. Except for bullying men and women and arrogant servants, there has been no good news.

There is also chaos in the inner house, Ping Guogong is addicted to beauty, there are many wives and concubines in the house, and there are a bunch of concubines and concubines.

In such a state-like mansion with crooked upper beams and crooked lower beams, wouldn't it be a crime to marry into it with Tu Manzhen's temperament?

The Tu family is noble and has a strict family style, if she is married, I am afraid that the Tu family will have a reputation for selling their daughters.

After thinking about it again and again, Tu Hongyi said: "The prince is reasonable, and the lower officials also want to untie this knot." It's just that the Pingguo Mansion has been ...... all these years"

As an official of the imperial court, it is naturally inconvenient for him to say that the dignified government is not, but his meaning could not be clearer.

Shi Jingze smiled: "Dr. Tu, you really feel sorry for your granddaughter. But although the Pingguo Mansion has not looked good in recent years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Liu Qiran is going to attack the lord sooner or later, what will happen to the Pingguo Mansion in the future, it's not up to him to have the final say?"

The key is that Liu Qiran himself is also notorious, Tu Hongyi frowned, and said: "At the peony flower party, the prince of Pingguo scolded my granddaughter and scared her into a serious illness. Such a person, son, how can you teach me how to speak to my daughter-in-law?"

Tu Manzhen was very aggressive, he was frightened at the time, but he became active again in a few days, where was the serious illness he said. To say this is just a pretext.

Shi Jingze didn't expect him to be able to respond in one bite, after all, Liu Qiran's criminal record was there. He said, "I may not believe Dr. Tu, but it's true. Liu Qiran stunned me for a long time before I agreed to him to be this lobbyist. I've told him all of what you've said, and it's much worse than yours. ”

Throwing a peanut into the mouth, Shi Jingze continued: "He swears a curse, let you watch, he will start to change his past mistakes from now." He also said that when he returned home after marrying the second lady, he would treat her like a jewel, and I agreed to him. ”

Hearing him say this, Tu Hongyi's originally firm heart couldn't help but hesitate. This woman marries, first of all, she must be a good match, and secondly, she finds a true husband. If Liu Qiran can really do it, even if the Tu family loses its reputation, as long as Tu Manzhen can be happy for the rest of her life, why not?

So the key to this matter is still on Liu Qiran.

Tu Hongyi said: "What the prince said, I naturally believe it. But whether Liu Qiran can do it, the lower officials have doubts. ”

Shi Jingze smiled: "I know what Dr. Tu means." Next, let's wait and see Dr. Tu's performance at Liu Qiran. ”

Tu Hongyi nodded, got up and said goodbye: "Before that, I also ask the descendants to keep it secret." ”

"That's nature. ”

Seeing off Tu Hongyi, Shi Jingze leisurely put his feet on the window lattice, took a plate of fennel beans and put it on his chest, and ate it half-lying.

This lobbyist was a good one, and he also tricked Liu Qiran by the way. Shi Jingze laughed secretly in his heart, Liu Qiran, Liu Qiran, it's not for your brother, who made your reputation so bad? Is this daughter of the Tu family so easy to marry?

Next, it depends on what you do to gain the trust of the Tu family. You can solve this problem slowly, and if your brother wants to go on a safari, I won't help you with advice.

He was leisurely, and there was a knock on the door: "Lord Shizi, the little one has something urgent to come back." ”

"Come in. What's the matter?"

"It has been spread all over the southern market, and the prince has invited the official media for the prince, and the Xu family will ask to marry Miss Xu Er as a side concubine tomorrow morning. ”

"What?" Shi Jingze was taken aback, put down his two long legs, and stood still.

The dish of fennel beans fell to the ground, the porcelain dish shattered into several pieces, and the beans rolled on the ground.
