readx;? Mrs. Qin is a little selfish when she cares about Xie Huaichang's marriage, just like the previous queen mother always likes to let her son marry her own niece, one is to kiss and kiss, and the other is to use this nepotism to envelop this young man, so as to ensure that the power of herself or her mother's family remains unchanged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She wanted to find a girl close to her for Xie Huaichang to marry, of course, this girl also had all the virtues of being a wife. Xie Huaichang is not a person who spoils his concubine and kills his wife, as long as this wife is good, he will not do anything to bully his wife.

But what she never expected, Xie Huaichang didn't let her be distracted at all in the marriage, or rather, before she had time to worry about it, the concubine took the initiative to solve this troublesome matter. Less than two months after Xie Huaichang left the mansion, a letter from the capital blew up the old mansion, and the words on the envelope were vast and atmospheric, politely writing "Xie Gongzhiping personally opened".

From Yuan Shikai's letters.

This letter was sent directly to Xie Daozhong's desk in Zhenjiang Yamen, and he opened it himself, and the contents of it were sprinkled with four pages, and the intention was very clear -- Wu Peifu, a famous general under his command, wanted to marry the Xie family as a son and daughter, and was willing to use his adopted daughter to give Xie Huaichang a wife, so he asked Xie Daozhong and his wife to go to Beijing to talk about this happy event.

Xie Daozhong took the letter home, showed it to Mrs. Qin first, and sent someone to pass Wanlan over when she read the letter, he knew that Chen Ji had some contact with Yuan Shikai, maybe Wanlan could know more insiders.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Qin had mixed feelings in her heart, she was almost sure that Xie Huaichang would soar in the future, and Xie Huai'an, as the eldest son, was obviously much inferior to him. She didn't say anything, but in her heart she began to be secretly jealous because of her mother's selfishness, and even had the idea of wanting to stir up the happy event.

So she asked Xie Daozhong, "What is the master's plan?"

"It seems that it is not easy to refuse to be able to work Yuan Xiangcheng to be this big ice master himself," Xie Daozhong replied slowly while thinking: "I want to inquire about the character of this Captain Wu." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "I see that their family is an adopted daughter. ”

Xie Daozhong didn't care: "It's nothing, he is a military general, and he adopts a girl in a good manner, there must be some stories, as long as he is well-behaved, he should be in a good room and IKEA, and his adopted daughter doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and coughed lightly a few times, not because her throat was itchy, but because she didn't know what to say in this scene, and she felt that the silence was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Wanlan came quickly, she didn't know what was going on, so her expression was relaxed, she asked her parents to say goodbye, sat on the side, and asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong with my parents calling me?"

Xie Daozhong smiled at her and nodded again: "Have you ever seen Yuan Xiangcheng in the capital?"

Of course, Wanlan shook her head: "Lord Yuan is a member of the imperial court, how can I see him?"

This answer was expected, and Xie Daozhong asked again: "Have you inquired about his personality?"

Wanlan thought for a while and said, "In this regard, my father can ask the second uncle, he and Lord Yuan seem to have a friendship. ”

Xie Daozhong had already sent a telegram to Xie Daoyong after reading the letter at the Yamen, and arranged for his errand to send it to the mansion immediately whenever he got a reply from the capital, and now he summoned Wanlan over, just to know some Yuan Shikai's affairs or folk comments, after all, he doesn't look like a matchmaker.

Wanlan searched her stomach and told everything she had heard about Yuan Shikai in the capital, and nodded while listening to Xie Dao, as if she was still assessing something in her heart.

"The last time Yuji had an accident, you said that in the end, it was Yuan Xiangcheng who took action to settle it. Seeing Wanlan nodded, Xie Daozhong's face became more hesitant: "Is he cooperating with the revolutionary party?"

"Cooperation doesn't count," Wanlan said, "maybe it's a bet on a side." ”

Yuan Shikai is also stepping on two boats, but unlike Xie Fu, he has an army that belongs almost entirely to him as a backing, and the Qing court and the revolutionary party are both fighting the idea of this army, and the odd goods are naturally qualified to be picky.

"He has a relationship with Yuji," Xie Daozhong said slowly: "No wonder ......"

He suddenly paid unusual attention to Yuan Shikai today, Wanlan had long been curious, and couldn't help asking: "What news did my father get?"

"Oh," Xie Daozhong said lightly, "I received a letter from Yuan Xiangcheng, saying that he wanted to protect the media for Huaichang and the adopted daughter of a captain under his command." ”

He said it so lightly that Wanlan didn't react for a while after listening to it, and was stunned for a moment before she was surprised: "Lord Yuan wants to protect Huaichang?"

Xie Daozhong said "Hmm": "Yes, it is said that Captain Wu admires Huaichang very much, and there happens to be a daughter in the family who is not yet married. ”

Wanlan was stunned again: "What does my father mean?"

Xie Daozhong said: "I have sent a report to your uncle, and as soon as he responds to the letter, I will take your mother and Huai'an to the capital." ”

The marriage event should indeed be discussed in person, and the person who protects the media in the middle is Yuan Shikai, whether he agrees or refuses, he has to say it at the same table.

Xie Daoyong's reply was sent from the yamen when the dinner was just served, saying that he knew about this matter and could consider it, and asked Xie Dao to go to Beijing as soon as possible.

This can not be delayed, but there is no need to be too anxious, he arranged the affairs in the yamen, and instructed the girls to prepare the luggage for the long trip, so that they waited for three or four days without hurry, everything was ready, and then set off from Zhenjiang, take the waterway to Shanghai, it happened that Chen Ji was also going to Beijing, and the two people took the train from Shanghai to the capital together.

Yuan Shikai is a busy person in the capital, and it is rare for ordinary people to see each other at all, but he sent a table of Quanjude to the capital on the night Xie Daozhong arrived, and handed over an invitation by the way, inviting Xie Daozhong to meet him three days later when he was resting.

Xie Daoyong smiled at the post: "Big brother really has face, he only needs to wait for three days, and even if others wait for thirty days, they may not be able to wait for Lord Yuan to take the time to come out, it seems that he attaches great importance to this marriage." ”

Xie Daozhong didn't feel flattered, this may be the arrogance cultivated by the hundred-year-old court, so he only nodded to indicate that he knew, and asked Xie Huaichang about his current situation.

Xie Daoyong said: "He came to the capital with that Captain Wu, you can see him in two days, and ask him directly when the time comes." ”

Mrs. Qin wanted to ask Xie Daoyong more about this marriage, but what he knew was not much different from them. The only more is the adopted daughter of the Wu family, I heard that it is a township party of Wu Peifu, more than ten years older than him, the two joined the army together, so they took special care of him, and later the township party died on the battlefield, and the daughter-in-law of the family remarried, leaving only a young girl with the same pair of high halls. Wu Peifu remembered the old love, took the initiative to send his parents to the end of his filial piety, and raised the only daughter, as for the captain surnamed Wu, he has no children and no daughters, and it seems that he regards his adopted daughter as his own daughter.

This incident made Xie Daozhong's impression of Captain Wu a lot better, plus Wu Peifu was born in Xiucai, capable of literature and martial arts, and now he is deeply valued by Yuan Shikai, and the future is unlimited, so that the little dissatisfaction with this marriage in his heart slowly dissipated. When I saw Wu Peifu himself, my good impression was even better, especially when he spoke, he was polite and polite, and Qiu Ba, who didn't know a single big word in the army, was simply different from him.

"Hope Zhiping was not frightened by this unforeseen thing," Wu Peifu said with a smile on his face: "Originally, I didn't expect to bother Yuan Dashuai, but it was really our military management that Lord Cao Kun Cao was not familiar with the house, so he worked Yuan Dashuai." ”

He seemed to appreciate Xie Huaichang from the bottom of his heart, and the praise was endless, Xie Huaichang sat next to him and listened, smiling lightly, neither humble nor arrogant, nor fainted by those exaggerated praises, only occasionally inserting a sentence or two in the appropriate place, looking young and talented, with a bright future.

Mrs. Qin borrowed the warm pavilion in the inner garden of Xie Mansion in the capital to entertain the daughter brought by Wu Peifu, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, this lady was born in Shandong Wang, and was the niece of Li Shaotang, a giant gentry in Penglai. The girl she brought followed Wu Peifu's surname, although her eyebrows and eyes were not as beautiful as Mrs. Li's, but she was better than her relaxed demeanor, smart eyes, and generous in handling things. Mrs. Qin looked around, and felt a little satisfied in her heart, in the end, she was the daughter of Xiaomen, and it was not qualified to be the housewife of the Xie family, but it was enough to give Xie Huaichang a concubine as his wife and run the inner garden for him.

She had such a thought, and her attitude was a little more cordial, and she gave the prepared meeting gift to the girl of the Wu family, a very beautiful women's jewelry watch, worn on her wrist like a bracelet, Wu Xinyi got up and took it, looked at it with appreciation, and thanked Mrs. Qin.

The two families sat together for the sake of getting married, and there was nothing to avoid at that table, Mrs. Qin was the man's parent, so she should mention this first, she praised Xie Huaichang a lot, and Wu Xinyi praised a lot, saying that the two of them are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

Mrs. Li thanked her, and did not twist her, and said directly: "Our lord likes the second son very much, and he will be invited to the house for dinner after only a few days of acquaintance, I will tear the cloth to make clothes, and he is also worried about giving the second son a piece, if the wife looks down on our daughter and is willing to marry our family, then our lord will really wake up laughing in his dream." ”

In Wu Peifu's opinion, Xie Huaichang is a concubine, but he went abroad to study, and when he reported to the barracks, the clothes were also brand new and high-quality, which shows that the mother in the house is virtuous and good, and the family style is also upright and polite.

Master Da Bing: That is, the matchmaker, "Shuyan Story, Matchmaker" records: "The matchmaker is called the iceman." "The Book of Jin" once recorded that filial piety made Hu Ce have a dream, dreaming that he was walking on the ice lake, and he actually talked to the people under the ice, and he woke up unexpectedly. A soothsayer explained this dream, saying, "The ice is yang, the ice is yin, and the yin and yang are also things; Jun is on the ice, talking to people under the ice, for yang and yin, and the medium is also. Jun should be a matchmaker, and Bingpan got married. "In today's terms, it means that you can stand on the ice and talk to the people under the ice, which symbolizes that you are reconciling yin and yang, and reconciling yin and yang is to be a medium, and you will be a matchmaker for others. Since then, "Iceman" has been used to refer to matchmakers, and matchmaking is also called "ice".
