Jia Yu is really not very reliable, either listening to music and drinking, or going outside with some fox friends and dogs. But now that the old lady has asked about Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Lian, who was above the top in the past, actually relented this time, so Jia Yu put the fun aside for the time being, and wanted to have a good relationship with Wang Ziteng.

Jia Yu wanted to pull Jia Lian together and invite the prince to eat and drink, but Jia Lian didn't answer even if he said it.

"What do you want to do, stinky boy? Didn't you promise it to the old lady before? Don't go back! Jia Yu is such a sister-in-law, now he is fifteen or sixteen, and he is a little anxious to hold his grandson. After Jia Lian's marriage is completed, he can eat, drink and have fun without worries again. But his unconscious son is still not cooperative. Today was Jia Lian's day of rest, and when Jia Yu heard that the little guy said that he was going out on horseback, he hurriedly went to block people.

Jia Lian was helpless, why did his father grow up at such an old age: "Lord Wang is a fragrant dumpling, father, you are afraid that you will not be able to make an appointment with him." ”

As soon as he touched the cold water and poured it down, Jia Yu didn't realize it: "If Lao Tzu can make an appointment, will you go?" ”

"If you can make an appointment with Lord Wang, then my son will go." Jia Lian got on the horse and left, today is the three days after Xifeng's mouth, he wants to go to the weapon shop again, maybe he can meet Xifeng. I don't know why, when I think of the girl from the Wang family, I always feel that something is scratching my heart and liver, and I can't calm down.

It didn't take long to arrive at the shop that day, Jia Lian asked Zhao'er to keep an eye in front, and he went to the back to drink tea and wait slowly. At this time, Jia Lian's heart was quite uneasy, and when he thought that Xifeng would come later, he couldn't sit still. It seems that there is something in my heart that I want to say to Xifeng, but I don't know where to start. It seems that no matter what you say, it is too abrupt.

Jia Lian paced back and forth in the courtyard of the weapons shop, rehearsing over and over again in his mind how to greet Xifeng when he saw him, but he felt that it was not good to say it no matter what. Wang'er looked dizzy and whispered: "Second master, are you tired?" Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea? ”

"It's fine." Jia Lian sat down and drank tea calmly, but after drinking three cups of tea, he hadn't seen Xifeng's figure. Jia Lian couldn't sit still.

Raise your legs and walk to the front and ask Master Hu, who was forging weapons: "Master Hu, two or three days ago, I remember that someone sent you a very beautiful sword, saying that you want to repair something, can you show it to me?" ”

Master Hu wiped a handful of sweat and said with a smile: "Childe came unfortunately,"

"What do you mean?" Jia Lian's heart fluttered and seemed to fall to the bottom, and he suddenly found that he was so eager to see Xifeng.

"This morning the servant of the girl's house came and took the sword. Just before the son came, the girl also sent someone to give a silver reward, saying that she was very satisfied with Hu's craftsmanship. Master Hu was quite proud.

Jia Lian's breathing seemed to have stagnated for a long time, and he was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and it took half a day to beckon Zhao'er and Wang'er to leave. Why didn't she come? Although he knew that it was common for Xifeng to send his subordinates to fetch the sword, he still had a feeling of being released as a pigeon, and he didn't know what to do with it.

Since Jia Lian became the prince's guard, Zhao'er Wang'er had never seen him so lost, and he didn't dare to speak, but followed carefully.

"Second master, why did you come back, the master let the little one wait here for a long time." The little servant beside Jia Yu looked at the gate of Jia's mansion, and when he saw Jia Lian riding back, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a happy face: "Didn't the second master say that as long as the master can make an appointment with Lord Wang, he will go together." The master has already set up the wine in the drunken fairy building, and Lord Wang will go over at noon today, the second master, you change your clothes and hurry up, the master is waiting for you in the courtyard. ”

Jia Lian Nahan, his father was able to make an appointment with Wang Ziteng? I can't.

After going back to his house and changing his clothes, Jia Lian hurriedly went to his father's yard, and when he went out, he saw his second uncle walking with them, Jia Lian finally understood: It was not the king that his father had asked him to make an appointment with, but his second uncle, who was his brother-in-law, who had made an appointment with the prince.

Although there is a calculation of the second room here, Jia Lian asked himself in his heart, he was willing to marry the girl of the Wang family, and even looked forward to marrying her, so he didn't care about anything else for the time being, and only calculated in his heart that he would definitely show himself when he met the prince.

Wang Ziteng didn't let them wait too long, and it didn't take long for them to arrive, and he was not surprised to see Jia Yu's father and son. seems to have long understood Jia Zheng's intention to ask him out. Jia Lian felt that there was a door to this family business, and the appearance was even better, and he was a young talent. Wang Ziteng is indeed very satisfied with Jia Lian, but he also knows that Rongfu categorically cannot teach such a son, and it must be that Jia Lian has been by the prince's side for the past two years to slowly develop such a demeanor.

Just thinking about the attitudes of Xifeng and the Lin family, and then thinking about the environment of the Rong Mansion, Wang Ziteng felt that even if Jia Lian had a good future and was handsome, he still had to think about it. What the Lin family said is true, there are many good young people in Beijing, and they can't just stare at the Rong Mansion.

Jia Lian saw that Wang Ziteng was playing Tai Chi with them, but he also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, and Wang Ziteng was a well-known calf protector, so it was impossible to give Xifeng a promise lightly. It's just that although Jia Lian is not very anxious, someone is anxious for him. Not only his father, but also his uncle.

Mrs. Wang used Xifeng to win over Jia Lian to consolidate her position in the Rong Mansion, but Jia Zheng wanted the future of his eldest son Jia Zhu. Wang Ziteng has not been in Beijing for two or three years, and Jia Zheng feels that he seems to be drifting away from this brother-in-law. How can this work? His brother-in-law is someone the prince values. Originally, I thought that he was demoted by the emperor to Jinling as a prefect, but he didn't want to be in the eyes of the prince again. Jia Zheng regretted that he didn't take advantage of the first two years to consolidate the relationship, and now that the prince has returned to Beijing, he naturally works hard to remedy it.

Wang Ziteng's hand was good Tai Chi, and after eating wine, he didn't leave anything to make the three people of Jiafu happy. Jia Zheng returned home and told Mrs. Wang a little about the situation during today's banquet, Mrs. Wang was very angry in her heart, and after serving Jia Zheng to sleep, she called Zhou Rui's family and muttered: "How did my brother become like this now?" Isn't it just to let Feng Yatou marry? didn't let go at all, could it be that Rongguo Mansion was a tiger's den in Longtan and could eat a phoenix girl? ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't be angry first, people outside say that our uncle is a little afraid of the inside, maybe this matter is the idea of my uncle's wife." It's better for you to go again in person another day, and go past your uncle and make peace directly with your uncle. If Miss Feng marries into our Rongguo Mansion, and you, your own aunt, take care of her, wouldn't life be better than in someone else's house? If you are softer, your uncle may not be able to listen. ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "The Lin family played Tai Chi with me that day, and she refused to give me an accurate word no matter what, and now it seems that she should be the one who is in the way." If I'm really angry, could it be that I will still treat Feng Yatou badly? After a pause, Mrs. Wang suddenly smiled: "Doesn't she want Feng Yatou to marry her, I just want to let Feng Yatou have no choice but to marry Lian'er." ”

After that, Mrs. Wang thought about it again, and ordered Zhou Rui's family to come over and explain it in detail.

"Grandma's good strategy." Zhou Rui's family praised again and again: "In this way, which of the good men of other people's families is willing to ......"

"Silence," Mrs. Wang glanced inside, saw that Jia Zheng was sleeping soundly and did not move, and then laughed softly: "You go and do it, be careful not to be discovered, you have your own reward if you do it." ”

After Zhou Rui's family went, Mrs. Wang went to take a look at Jia Zheng again, and then went to the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her wish to come true.

Besides, after the prince returned to the house, he naturally told the Lin family about the drunken immortal building, and the Lin family was also satisfied with Jia Lian's own situation, but he didn't like the Rong Mansion very much. As a woman, she understands the thoughts of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia too well.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Ziteng was watching Xifeng and Wang You practice martial arts in the martial arts field, and he didn't want a eunuch to pass on the decree. Everyone in the Wang family hurriedly put away the things at hand, set up a few incense burners to receive the order.

The eunuch came to convey the prince's will, the content was brief and did not see any nonsense, and it was finished in a moment, and Wang Ziteng was promoted by the prince to be the envoy of the Jingying Festival from the first product. Holding the military power to defend Gyeonggi, such a position was rare in Chang'an City, and it was a position that could only be obtained by officials who had the trust of the emperor or the crown prince. As soon as Wang Ziteng came back, he was placed in this position, which shows that he is indeed the person on the tip of the prince's heart. For a while, no one dared to look down on him in the slightest, and some officials who wanted to continue to wait and see also hurriedly showed favor to Wang Ziteng, and at the same time told his wife to go to the Wang family to walk around more, and be sure to have a good relationship with the Wang family's wife, after all, everyone knows that Wang Ziteng is notoriously afraid of his daughter-in-law.

It just so happened that five days later it was Wang Ziteng's birthday, and Wang Ziteng didn't want to make a big deal. But this year, he and the Lin family were thinking about how to choose a son-in-law for Xifeng, so they discussed using this opportunity to screen it well.

Mrs. Wang didn't know that her actions were helping Wang Ziteng and the Lin family a lot.

Since the prince returned to Beijing, all the provinces in Beijing have been calculating how to win him over, and naturally they will not let go of his palm bead Xifeng. If Xifeng can be married back to the house, with this relationship, Wang Ziteng will inevitably help each other with them in the future. There are by no means a few people who have this idea. Besides, Xifeng has a beautiful face, the housekeeper also learns well, and she was taught a good hand by the Lin family, many teenagers have a good impression of her, who doesn't want to marry a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law.

And Wang Ziteng suddenly got such an important position, even if Xifeng was an ugly girl, because of Wang Ziteng's love for her, those teenagers also wanted to marry. Who doesn't know that Xifeng is the pearl of Wang Ziteng's palm.

This is a little difficult to do, the Lin family not only wants to choose a young talent with a good family background and good character for Xifeng, but also wants to choose someone who can treat Xifeng sincerely. was thinking about how to choose someone who would be good to Xifeng, and the housekeeper Wang An replied with a rumor to Wang Ziteng and his wife: Now many people outside are discussing Xifeng's eyes, and I heard that Xifeng is still wearing a gauze and does not go out often, I am afraid that those eyes are in danger of blindness at any time; And Xifeng's parents are dead, and I'm afraid that my life is not very good.

"It's nonsense, Feng'er's eyes are obviously good." The prince flicked his sleeves angrily: "What else is not good is nonsense." Who is so vicious, spreading this rumor is simply trying to destroy my family Feng'er. ”

Lin Shi was naturally very angry, but his eyes suddenly lit up: "This is really ugly, the person who released the rumors must also have ill intentions, but don't be angry, master, this is an opportunity." ”

"What chance?" Wang Ziteng frowned.

"The lord has just been promoted, and many people must be interested in marrying because of the lord's dignitaries. Let's just use this rumor to wipe out those who are not right-minded. "The Lin family is even more powerful, and he discussed with Wang Ziteng, and wanted to take advantage of Wang Ziteng's day to make a move.

On the day of Wang Ziteng's birthday, the weather was fine, the gentlemen in the front yard got together to chat, and a large number of young talents came. Even if the eldest girl of the Wang family is in danger of going blind, she is fine at present, besides, even if she is blind, as long as Wang Ziteng still hurts her, this marriage will not be a loss.

Xifeng has begun to help the Lin family's housekeeper, and everyone knows about it, and the official wives wanted to take advantage of today's look, but they didn't want Xifeng to not appear at all.

"Why don't you see your eldest girl? It is said that the girl is beautiful, but Mrs. Wang is reluctant to let us see it? The daughter-in-law of the ruling prince couldn't hold back and took the lead in asking.

When Lin heard this, he sighed and said, "Hey, this child, it's not very comfortable these days, I'll let her rest in the yard." ”

"Why is it uncomfortable, but I can ask for a doctor?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked. The wives are also very concerned, if Xifeng is sick, how can they marry the Wang family? Although Wang Ziteng has two biological daughters, they are all concubines who are only five or six years old, and when they grow up, the daylilies are cold.

When Lin heard this, he deliberately stagnated, and then said quietly: "It's nothing, if it's not good to take some medicine, let's see if I can ask Imperial Doctor Shen to come over and take a look in a few days." "Actually, Xifeng happened to have her first period yesterday, and her stomach hurt unbearably, and she was crooked in her room after drinking medicine at this time.

All the wives suddenly had their own thoughts, and they wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Shen to come to the house, but they were afraid that they would be very sick, if the eldest girl of the Wang family was a sick man, or there was a danger of blindness in her eyes at any time, she was afraid that she would not be able to marry back to the house if she was favored. The women in the backyard think very differently from the gentlemen in front of them.

Lin sneered in his heart, and suddenly said: "This child is also very filial, on the birthday of the master, she copied a lot of scriptures and offered them in front of the Buddha, and also wrote a picture of Baifu Shou with ingenuity." The lord liked it very much. Hey," Lin sighed again, "If it weren't for this, she wouldn't be uncomfortable." ”

"Baifu Shoutu, I don't know what it looks like?" The daughter-in-law of the ruling prince laughed.

Lin ordered someone to fetch it, and it was originally written in a hundred ways to write dense Fu characters to form a big longevity character.

Uncle Jinxiang's wife Liu said with a smile: "I heard rumors outside that Miss Feng's eyes are not very good, and it is difficult for her to write such words, it is really commendable filial piety, no wonder you all treat her as a pain in your eyes." "Jinxiang Bofu is not as good as a year now, even if Xifeng is really a blind man, they are willing to marry back to climb up to Wang Ziteng, the person on the tip of the prince's heart.

All the wives echoed and praised it, but none of them were as enthusiastic as before. Lin was a little upset in his heart, but Mrs. Wang turned the Buddha beads on her wrist, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she thought about turning around and letting Zhou Rui's family add a few words out.

After this day, Wang Ziteng obviously felt that many people were no longer coming to him as before, thinking that they were affected by rumors and did not want to marry the Wang family again. However, there is also Ma Shang, the son of the Jinxiang Bofu and the grandson of the ruling prince, who is still jumping up and down in front of him. Oh yes, there is also a Jia Lian, who is courteous and polite every time I see him. If the prince has anything to tell Wang Ziteng, he basically sends Jia Lian to pass the word, so it can be regarded as seeing each other every day.

It's just that what Wang Ziteng didn't expect was that within a few days, rumors came out that Xifeng was no longer favored by him. The prince was angry and wanted to find out the person, but was stopped by the Lin family: "If Feng'er is not favored by the master, those sons of the family still want to marry her, they really only want Feng'er." Otherwise, I'm afraid it's all for the master. ”

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng was deeply convinced, so he decided to observe it again. After that, he was very disappointed, as soon as he heard that Xifeng was no longer the prince Teng Zhangzhu and his eyes were not good, the son of Jin Xiangbo and the grandson of the prince of Zhiguo hurriedly retreated, only Jia Lian was still in front of Wang Ziteng.

In Layue, Wang Ziteng and the Lin family were struggling with whether to choose Jia Lian or take another look, but they didn't expect the official media to come to the door. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that this matchmaker was not found by Jia Fu, but it was Jia Lian's idea alone. When he learned that Xifeng's eyes were not good, Jia Yu had changed from being in favor to opposing it. No matter how powerful and capable his prince is, he can't let his son marry a blind man and come back.

Wang Ziteng and the Lin family didn't expect that Jia Lian was a little sincere to Xifeng. But where does this sincerity come from? The husband and wife couldn't figure it out anyway. Xifeng was even more angry when he heard that Jia Lian came to the door with the official media, this bastard was simply in a hurry to cuckold her! She doesn't want it! Only Wang Ziteng and the Lin family have sealed their mouths to everyone in the mansion, preventing them from spreading the rumors outside to Xifeng, and Xifeng still doesn't know that she has been crossed off the pursuit list by young talents.

Since Jia Lian made his own decisions and found the official media to come to the door, Wang Ziteng changed his opinion on him, putting aside the Jia family, Jia Lian is really good. As a woman, Lin is naturally thinking about Xifeng's future: "I know the girl I raised, she doesn't say it, but in fact, her thoughts are very different from other girls. ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Wang Ziteng hurriedly asked.

"Once I watched her practice calligraphy and wrote the sentence 'one life and one couple', she paused for a long time, but suddenly covered it up again. I pondered that Feng'er hoped to marry a man who held her in the palm of her hand wholeheartedly, but she probably felt that most of such ideas could not be realized, so she covered it up. Lin said.

Wang Ziteng pondered for a moment and looked at the Lin family: "One life and one couple, all women in the world have this wish." ”

Lin Shi was silent, Wang Ziteng sighed and felt a trace of guilt, paused again, and smiled in his heart: "What does Madam think of Jia Lian?" ”

"Aside from the Rong Mansion, he is much stronger than the sons of other mansions, but I don't understand, why does he care about Feng'er? It is said that they have only seen Feng'er once or twice in Rongguo Mansion when she was five or six years old, so they shouldn't care so much. Lin really couldn't figure it out.

"Why don't we find a day and see him?" Prince Tengti yì. Lin agreed.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, it had just snowed on this day, Wang Ziteng and Lin went to Tanming Temple to offer incense, but it happened that Jia Lian and Zhong Qi accompanied the prince to come.

Lin first went to Xifeng to ask for a marriage sign, and there were only seven words on the sign, "Look at the flowers in the fog, splendid spring", which is very incomprehensible. Lin took the signature and asked the monk to unsign, and the monk stroked his beard and groaned for a long time before saying, "This sign is very good." Then he walked away without looking back.

Lin thought about it, although the master did not explain what this signature meant, but Feng'er's marriage must be good. Thinking of this, Lin put away the signature for the time being, and asked Mama, "What is the master doing at the moment?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, my lord is chatting with a teenager in the cuckoo garden." The rhododendron garden is a scene of Tanming Temple, there are many tourists in spring, but it is winter at this time, and there are few people in the azalea garden. Lin immediately took the maid and grandmother over, but what she didn't expect was that the young man who chatted with Wang Ziteng was actually the benefactor who saved their mother back then.

What about Jia Lian? Lin was very puzzled in his heart, but he still walked over. I haven't seen him for a few years, and now he is a young man with excellent appearance, and he looks like he talks and behaves in a way that everyone likes, and he seems to have a clean temperament from the inside out.

Lin secretly looked at it, this should be Feng'er's favorite type. I just don't know what this son's family background is, if it can be said that it is not bad to promote his marriage with Feng'er, I don't know how much worse Jia Lian of Rongfu is than the son in front of him?

Wang Ziteng didn't expect the Lin family to come over directly, and when he was in the mansion, he obviously discussed that he was responsible for talking to Jia Lian to test it, and the Lin family was quietly observing from the side? Wang Ziteng and the Lin family made a look, but the Lin family didn't see it, only looked at Jia Lian's chin, and smiled very dignified and gentle: "I haven't seen you for many years, how is the son?" I was in a hurry and didn't have time to thank you, but this time the prince wanted to give our Wang family a chance to thank him. Lin said as he stretched out his hand to help up the young man who saluted her, and smiled at the prince: "Master, this is the son I told you about saving us on the Qiqiao Festival a few years ago. ”

Wang Ziteng's face changed a few times, and he finally broke his words: "Madam, this is the second son of the Rongfu mansion, Jia Lian." ”

“……”

Lin froze in place for a moment, and his movements seemed to freeze. It took a long time to come back to his senses and look at Wang Ziteng, his face was very stiff, and he couldn't see what his expression was: "This is the second master of Jiafu Dafang?" ”

Jia Lian saluted respectfully: "It's the late birth, the late birth has seen the lady." ”

Lin stiffly pulled out a smile and said, "Hurry up, please." Then he turned his face to look at Wang Ziteng, and his eyebrows were raised uncontrollably: Why didn't you give me a hint earlier?!

The prince sighed almost inaudibly, and retorted with his eyes: Madam, madam, my husband gave you a look just now! You are so clear in your mind, why are you so slow today!

An hour later, until he returned to the palace, the Lin family was still a little dazed, as if he still couldn't believe that it was Jia Lian.

"I remember when he was young, everyone said that he was very disobedient and always liked to mess around, why did he save me and Feng'er You'er?" Before getting out of the carriage, Lin and Wang Ziteng said.

"Hey, madam, don't worry about this." Wang Ziteng sighed: "I didn't expect it to be him. A few days ago, you said that he and Feng'er hadn't seen each other since they grew up, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't care so much about Feng'er, but now it seems that the crux of the problem is in the begging festival back then. Now let's just talk about what to do in the future. ”

How can fate be so unexpected?

Lin twisted his veil for a while, and then said, "Master, let me think about it, this is really unbelievable." ”

Wang Ziteng smiled again: "Actually, there is nothing unbelievable, just the disobedient appearance of him when he was young, who would have thought that he would become a guard by the prince's side now." Not to mention a good kung fu, the prince trusts him deeply. I look at the pillar of Rongfu's generation, even if Zhu'er entered Taixue at the age of fourteen, he is not better than him. ”
