Chapter 22: A sassy and heroic woman
He Erniang and A Ru were pleasantly surprised to find that since Asu Bai'an Jiuniang learned to ride a horse that day, Asu's whole spirit and spirit have radiated a sense of rebirth, not only swept away the depression after the Qixi Festival, but also refreshed more than before.

They only said that Aso had finally found something she liked to do, but they didn't know that the biggest credit for waking Aso was the person who dared to drink snake soup with her, or that she should be grateful for the good opportunity created by the snake so that Aso could untie the knot.
An Jiuniang is a person who values righteousness and keeps promises, and after two days, she began to practice horseback riding with Asu, which made Asu not moved, and she thought that she was humble and cautious to learn, and she did not forget to make all kinds of snacks every day to show her gratitude, and she and An Jiuniang also became more and more intimate, and she had nothing to say.
On this day, An Jiuniang had just taught Asu to return from horseback riding, and returned to the Jiedu Embassy's mansion, not wanting to meet his father An Sishun coming head-on, so he hurriedly stepped forward to invite an An, and he was wondering in his heart, thinking about it, it turned out that he was resting in the army today, so his father was at home.
An Sishun saw that she was about to turn around and leave, and hurriedly called her to stop, saying that she wanted to talk to her, which surprised An Jiuniang, and her father gossiped with her after tea and dinner on weekdays, and rarely asked questions like this.
An Sishun sat in the hall, beckoned his daughter to sit opposite her, asked the maid to bring a pot of tea, poured herself a cup, poured another cup and handed it to her daughter, and then said slowly, "Jiuniang, these days I heard that you are teaching the little niece of Deputy Envoy Li's family to ride a horse?" ”
An Jiuniang saw that her father was so diligent in pouring tea and water for herself, and she seemed to have something important to say, but who knew that it was indeed such a common question when she opened her mouth.
She was puzzled, and only replied verbally, "Sister Asu has the heart to learn to ride a horse, and she wrote to me earnestly to beg me, and I agreed, and my daughter has no other friends here, so it is rare to have a similar language with Asu." When it comes to teaching horseback riding, my daughter doesn't dare to call her a teacher, so she just plays with friends. ”
After hearing this, An Sishun smiled knowingly, and continued, "Then do you have any dealings with other people in his family?" ”
Others? An Jiuniang tried hard to recall that she had been to the Li Mansion continuously these days, except for Asu, it seemed that she had met with Li Dalang, Erlang, San Lang, Aru, He Erniang, and even Mrs. Wang, and sometimes said two sentences, so she replied, "Most of the other people in his family have met a few times and talked a few words by chance." "But my father asked me why. So An Jiuniang couldn't help but ask, "Forgive my daughter for being puzzled, why did my father ask like this?" ”
An Sishun smiled and didn't say anything, just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Then it seems that you and their family know each other, very good, very good." A look of relief.
Seeing her father answer like this, and then reacted like this, An Jiuniang thought to herself, could it be that her father wanted to promise herself to a certain little Langjun in the Li Mansion, and her father's knock on the side really made her confused, so Zhengse said to her father, "If your father has anything to say, just tell your daughter directly." ”。
"Haha, okay. For the Father, I will say it to you. An Sishun smiled heartily, stroked his beard, and continued, "My son is beautiful and wise, heroic, and will marry a hero in the future, so as not to disgrace you. ”
An Jiuniang looked suspicious, the most suitable person who has a relationship with the Li Mansion? Could it be Li Yizhong, the eldest son of the Li Mansion? So he frowned lightly and asked, "Isn't my father going to marry me to Li Dalang of the Li Mansion?" ”
"Hahaha, no, no." An Sishun heard that he pointed at An Jiuniang and smiled mysteriously, thinking to himself, sure enough, this person was not guessed by his daughter. Then, leaning forward, he looked at An Jiuniang seriously and said with a smile, "Not to mention that Li Dalang Ding Wei has not yet come for three years, even if he is not worthy of you at that time, I want to talk about his father, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Li Guangbi, the prince of Jijun." ”
This answer obviously shocked An Jiuniang with a "bang" like a firecracker, this is indeed someone she would not have expected at all.
And how did this person make An Sishun come up with it, and the words have to start from a month ago.
It was still the beginning of July, and An Sishun had been taking his daughter over for a while, and when he was free, he began to think about his daughter's marriage. One day, in a casual chat with Guo Ziyi, I talked about An Jiuniang who was not young anymore, and said a little worriedly, "Jiuniang will be twenty years old this year, but I still haven't found a suitable marriage partner, it's all because I was reluctant to marry her early. I'm afraid that if I delay my daughter. ”
Guo Ziyi said with relief, "Langjun is the pillar of the country, Jiuniang is even more of a dragon and phoenix among people, how can he be married at will, if you want to talk about the right person, the former servant Gu Huai'en family's youngest son Wulang was not bad, but unfortunately he just got married, and it is said that he is the eldest niece of Deputy Envoy Li's family." ”
An Sishun nodded, looked at Guo Ziyi and continued, "Why not, I just had a little idea, and the other side decided to marry." Now if you want to say that Shuo Fang is a young man who is a little more outstanding, think about it, what do you think of the eldest man of Deputy Envoy Li's family, the age is appropriate, and he also has the fame of the eighth grade, which is still much stronger than Bai Ding's Xiaoerlang, but he still has to wait for a year before the Ding worry period expires. ”
Guo Ziyi was noncommittal when she heard this, but walked a few steps and said in a low voice, "Lang Jun, with all due respect, I'm afraid that you are in a hurry to find a son-in-law now not just because your daughter is old, right?" ”
An Sishun raised his eyes and glanced at Guo Ziyi, as if he saw through his thoughts, raised his finger and pointed at him and said with a smile, "Guo Gong really sees through people's hearts, and I will tell you honestly, first, it is true that his daughter will marry as soon as she is old." Second, it is indeed a little selfish. ”
Then he looked around and felt that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "I went to the holy book before, reminding the court that An Lushan will be opposed, this is to leave a way back for An Lushan to be true to himself in the future, but even so, if he is really opposed, he is my brother, I am afraid that the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Therefore, I want to find a good family that can help each other in the future. ”
Speaking of this, An Sishun couldn't help but sigh deeply, and continued, "Guo Gong knows that brother Shuhan, my mortal enemy. Now he has been crowned the crown prince and the imperial doctor. As soon as An Lushan rebels, he will gain power. You know, he wants to eat my flesh and drink my blood. ”
Guo Ziyi couldn't help frowning when she heard Ge Shuhan here. Speaking of which, Ge Shuhan and An Sishun were both Longyou leading the army back then, and the war zones in charge of the two of them were next to each other, just like two small countries, all kinds of friction continued, and the complaints and hatred could be said to have accumulated day after year, year after year.
Even the emperor knew that they were seriously incompatible, and a few years ago, he ran out and made a show to make them "brothers of the opposite sex", but it was useless, Liang Zi was still there, and both sides hated it. So much so that he hated the house and Wu, and later, Ge Shuhan and An Lushan were also incompatible. In line with the psychology that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Ge Shuhan actually ran to Yang Guozhong's side.
Yang Guozhong and An Lushan are mortal enemies, Ge Shuhan and An Sishun are mortal enemies, although An Sishun and An Lushan are not people on the same road, Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan are also inseparable, but just because there is a common enemy, two camps on the surface have been formed.
But at the moment, An Sishun can't count on An Lushan, and he has to worry about being dragged into the water by An Lushan at all times, because, according to the current situation, Ge Shuhan seems to be highly used by the imperial court, so An Sishun also has to find his own reliable ally.
Although Guo Ziyi has a good relationship with An Sishun on the face, and even said that he can say some heart-to-heart words, although Guo Ziyi is said to be a person with eight faces, he will not easily take refuge in either side, but he is also a good person with a good reputation, and he will not stab people in the back.
An Sishun also thought about marrying Guo Ziyi, but there is really no suitable candidate in Guo Fuzhong now.
Just when An Sishun was a little depressed and stopped talking, Guo Ziyi suddenly thought of something, so he patted An Sishun on the shoulder, smiled slyly, and then said, "Actually, there is the best son-in-law candidate right now, and with him, Lang Jun can be said to be worry-free." ”
An Sishun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Please Guo Gong make it clear." ”
Guo Ziyi said slowly, "This person is the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Li Guangbi, the prince of Jijun. Li Guangbi originally had a wife and a concubine. You and I both know that my wife passed away two years ago, but in the past two years, the concubine Wang has not been corrected, so the position of the main wife has been vacant. ”
Guo Ziyi looked at An Sishun with a surprised and hesitant expression on his face, and continued, "Li Guangbi is only thirty-eight or nine this year, only a dozen years older than Jiu Niang, he is not like me who holds my grandson. He married and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen, so he had several sons that old. But Lang Jun don't forget, he is actually less than forty, more than ten years younger than us, and it is the time when he is young and promising, and his future is immeasurable. ”
An Sishun couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and muttered, "Li Guangbi is a serious and experienced person, and when we work together on weekdays, I forget that he is actually not very old, less than forty years old, he can achieve the rank of a third-grade official, and the court can also be said to be a rare talent." Then he hesitated, "But, this marriage, not to mention the little girl, will Li Guangbi agree to be my son-in-law?" ”
Guo Ziyi stroked his beard and smiled, "Guo loves adult beauty the most, what about Li Guangbi, I'll find a chance to talk about it." And Jiu Niang, young and beautiful, and the daughter of Lang Jun, how can the men of Shuofang County not be moved. As for whether Jiuniang is willing, Lang Jun can take her to get to know Li Guangbi first, get acquainted with her, and persuade her to go to Li Mansion more. ”。
Seeing that An Sishun was still thinking, he added, "Won't there be a polo match in two days?" It's a good opportunity, Lang Jun took Jiuniang to let them know each other first, get acquainted with them, and then talk about marriage matters. ”
An Sishun glanced at Guo Ziyi with admiration after hearing this, nodded and smiled, "What Guo Gong said is extremely true." ”
So, the two decided to start matching this pair of old and young. It's no wonder that in the polo game that day, An Sishun asked his daughter to replace him.
But now, when An Jiuniang heard her father's candidate, she was still shocked, after all, she basically played and interacted with Li Guangbi's children. When such a candidate is proposed, the feeling given to An Jiuniang is tantamount to marrying her friend's father and being her friend's stepmother.
"Father Hugh is joking, Li Guangbi is my friend's uncle and father, marrying him, where will I be, I won't marry." An Jiuniang's mouth pursed, and she directly rejected her father's proposal, and turned around and left with an annoyed expression, ignoring An Sishun's call behind her.
I'm afraid this marriage will have to take some effort to match. An Sishun shook his head, his expression was still firm, as if his daughter's refusal could not shake the mind in his heart at all.
