Chapter 063: Engagement
Shen Yan's question was actually Shen Shichong's concern. www.biquge.info He didn't know if An Yangping would agree to his request. After being silent for a long time, he looked at Shen Yan, and reached out to touch his arms and said, "Yan'er, you may agree to be a father, even if the prince of Anyang is unwilling to marry you, you will go to live in Dazhao with him?" ”
When Shen Yan heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't it because my father has the heart to die that he has to make proper arrangements for his future?
"Daddy......" Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "Daddy don't worry about doing what he wants to do, Yan'er will listen to Daddy, and when Daddy finishes his work, we will go to Dazhao together." ”
It was obviously an ordinary sentence, but after Shen Yan said it, she felt extremely cruel. Shen Shichong listened, but he breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded in agreement, although he knew very well in his heart that once he took a step, it would be difficult to have room for maneuver.
On the same day, Shen Shichong personally went to Sihailou and directly expressed his mind to An Yangping.
"Lord Zhizhou has arranged it like this, can Miss Shen agree?" An Yangping is still as pampered as before.
"Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, Yan'er is willing to listen to my arrangement."
An Yangping listened, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He thought that Shen Yan would have a big quarrel with Shen Shichong, but he didn't expect to hear such a result.
"Prince Anyang ......" Shen Shichong saw that he hadn't expressed his position for a long time, so he asked carefully, "Is Prince Anyang willing to marry Yan'er as his wife?" He also said, "Although my Yan'er has a young lady's temper, she is also a well-informed person. If the prince of Anyang does not give up, I am willing to take out all the family wealth as a dowry......"
An Yangping stretched out his hand and blocked Shen Shichong's words, "Am I a greedy person?" ”
"Don't misunderstand Gongzi Anyang, I'm just ......" Shen Shichong thought it was an explanation, but then said: "Forgive me for my gaffe, forgive me for my gaffe." ”
"I need to ask Miss Shen in person." An Yangping finally said what he thought.
When Shen Shichong heard this, he saw hope in his eyes, and his heart relaxed a lot. He immediately invited An Yangping to his home for dinner.
"No," An Yangping refused, "I'll go another day." ”
Shen Shichong was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much and agreed. He thought that he would patiently wait for a reply before deciding whether to say anything later, but he thought that he might not have many days to delay, so he decided to say the next word.
Before saying these words, he made a big gift to An Yang.
Seeing this, An Yangping hurriedly went over to help him up, "How can Lord Zhizhou perform this great gift?" ”
"If Prince Anyang is unwilling to marry my daughter, I hope that Prince Anyang will agree to my reluctant invitation."
An Yangping looked at him and was noncommittal.
Shen Shichong didn't care, and said straightforwardly: "Don't hide it from the prince of Anyang, I take the pill to the emperor in order to live forever, recently there are traitors who want to use the pill to harm the life of our emperor, I plan to unite with several old ministers, put forward a death advice, and beg the emperor to stop taking the pill that harms people." If I unfortunately lose this old life, the son of Anyang is unwilling to marry my Yan'er, and I also ask the son of Anyang to take my Yan'er to live in Dazhao to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing and old age. Shen Shichong said, bent over and made a gesture towards An Yangping.
"Shen Zhizhou's beloved daughter has come to this, and Anyang is moved." An Yangping stretched out his hand, helped Shen Shichong, and said seriously, "An Yang promised Shen Zhizhou, if Shen Zhizhou has three longs and two shorts, I just can't marry Miss Shen as my wife, and I will treat her as a relative, take good care of her, and ensure that she is prosperous and old to rely on." ”
In this matter, An Yangping agreed happily, which couldn't help but make Shen Shichong wonder if he didn't want to marry his daughter? This made him feel a little regretful. However, even this result is very good for him.
With a number in his heart, Shen Shichong became more and more down-to-earth, and when he returned home, he instructed Steward Feng to invite Ning Anhou to Ning'anhou's mansion.
"You want me to go to the governor's mansion?" In Li Chengqi's heart, the scene of Shen Yan yelling at him in the morning, telling him not to involve her father in dangerous things, still lingered, so he felt a little strange about Steward Feng coming to invite him to the Zhizhou Mansion, and immediately ridiculed: "Your young lady won't kick me out?" ”
"My young lady is impulsive, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not be surprised." Steward Feng hurriedly said, "This time, my lord invited Master Hou to come over because he had something important to discuss with Master Hou. ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqi agreed.
Coincidentally, as soon as he entered the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion, he met Shen Yan who was about to go out and her personal maid Xiyu. To her surprise, when Shen Yan saw him coming, she only glanced at him lightly and then skimmed her gaze, without stopping her steps.
Her reaction made Li Chengqi pause. He had a strange thought, Shen Yan didn't have a fierce god and jumped forward to help him go. After she went out, he couldn't help but ask Steward Feng: "What's wrong with your young lady, seeing me is like seeing an ordinary person?" ”
"My young lady, I have no objection to my lord and the Hou master." Steward Feng explained with a smile.
This is even more strange, but Li Chengqi put away the doubts in his heart, and only followed Steward Feng to see Shen Shichong.
Shen Shichong came to Li Chengqi to talk to him about how to deal with the prince and others' plan to murder Emperor Wen. Shen Shichong told him: "I have written to several old ministers in the capital, and as long as they reply, they can jointly play a concerted performance, asking the emperor not to take the so-called elixir practiced by the old Taoist of Xuanling." ”
"Although the matter of the performance is small, it will attract infinite danger later, Lord Zhizhou really thinks about it?" Li Chengqi looked at Shen Shichong with a very serious expression.
Shen Shichong nodded, and immediately talked about some past events, "Ling Zun and I actually made an oath in front of the emperor as early as when we were young, swearing allegiance to the emperor and the Great Zhou, although I fell out because of the establishment of the prince, but I believe that if Ling Zun knew about the crisis in the current court, he would also choose to fight side by side with me again." He turned to look at Li Chengqi, "Now that Ling Zun is gone, of course I have to do my best to keep my original vow." ”
His patriotism and loyalty to the monarch touched Li Chengqi. But Li Chengqi didn't say anything more heartfelt, and only asked Shen Shichong: "Lord Zhizhou does this, Miss Shen won't stop it?" ”
Shen Shichong shook his head proudly, "My Yan'er finally understands my patriotic enthusiasm for the loyal monarch, and she no longer obstructs it." ”
"Then she won't worry about ......"
"Of course I'm worried." Shen Shichong took Li Chengqi's words and sighed, "I was also worried that if I had three longs and two shorts, my Yan'er would have no one to take care of, but fortunately, Gongzi Anyang agreed to take care of her for me." ”
"Prince Anyang?" Li Chengqi is very unfamiliar with this name.
