Chapter 268: The Woman with the Long Tongue

Elder Meng Ge trembled and took the hot tea handed by the little servant, raised his head and gave the pill, and gasped for a while before calming down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The little guy couldn't bear it, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master Hou, our old lady is not in good health, and when he moves, he will easily lose his breath." You think about the words, don't provoke the old lady too much......"

Helian Jun pursed his mouth, waved the little guy away, and looked at the old man in front of him like a candle in the wind, and couldn't help but feel very emotional. The years are really ruthless, a character who is so tough, he becomes weak when he says he gets weak. I need support to walk, and I have to breathe for a long time even if I say a few words. The appearance of him swearing in front of the door is still deeply imprinted in his mind. The cold and domineering image can't match the fragile old man in front of him.

The former boy has grown into a towering tree. At that time, the strong elders were like dead wood, and they no longer had the vitality they used to have.

Helian Jun subconsciously softened his body, stretched out his hand and slapped the old man's back, "Old man, don't care, I have been in the army for many years, and I am used to speaking in a rude way......"

Meng Ge Lao nodded and said, "Don't talk about this." What are you going to do about your marriage? "Is he really going to marry that merchant girl of unknown origin?

"Marriage? Naturally, I also thought about it. Since you asked, I'll be straight to the point. Ever since I returned to Beijing, there have always been people who want to marry me. First of all, King Qing wanted me to marry his sister-in-law, Princess Guangling. You know, she was a widow and she raised a lot of ...... in public."

"Ahem! cough ......" Meng Ge Lao coughed again, and pointed at him with trembling hands and scolded, "That...... That's your cousin! You...... You ...... "Did you say that about your cousin?" No matter how bad it is, she is a royal princess after all!

Princess Guangling is the youngest daughter of the Empress Dowager and the little aunt of Yu Wenwei. was married to the eldest son of Shen Huai, a cabinet scholar, and was beheaded because he was implicated in Yuwen Rui's rebellion, and Princess Guangling became a widow.

"Yes, yes, in fact, I know that I am not talented and not worthy of Princess Guangling. Old man, you are smooth, you are always like this, how dare I speak? Helian County was in a hurry to beat his back and serve tea, feeling that facing this frail and sick old man was more troublesome than facing thousands of troops and horses.

"Don't worry, listen to me first. King Qing's side, I am my own person, I saved him and his sons and grandsons in the hands of Yu Wenrui, he is naturally grateful to me, and the Empress Dowager's aunt supports the faΓ§ade for me, even if I don't marry his sister, there is no loss. But the other person who wants to marry me is not pure in his heart. ”

He paused, looked at Meng Ge Lao's face, and saw that he had indeed calmed down, so he dared to continue, "If you want to say that Yao Xinyue, she is indeed a rare beauty!" It's a pity that it's King Lu's pawn! First of all, at a banquet in the palace, the emperor built momentum for her and made a good name for her talent and beauty; Then there was the path of Princess Lu's circle of noblewomen, and she held that Yao Xinyue in the sky and on the earth. Although I am stupid, I can see that this is luring me into the bait! King Lu invited me to a banquet many times, and sat with Yao Xinyue face to face when he returned, once or twice, I may not know what he meant, but when I go back like this, it can't help but make people think more. Why did such a big beauty fall in love with me? That's a cold beauty who doesn't even want to enter the palace! ”

"So......" Meng Ge Lao nodded, fortunately, his grandson was not stupid, and he was not blinded by power and beauty, "You rejected on both sides?" ”

"Nope!" Helian Jun spread his hands and made an innocent statement, "How can I say those two, one is the proud daughter of the sky, and the other is the wife and sister of the regent, such a good fat meat is given to me to eat, I still don't know how to lift it, isn't that offending people in vain?" ”

He smiled and continued, "Now it's dragging on both sides." I didn't say yes, I didn't say no. Anyway, I wander around with light snow every day, and they know that the person on the tip of my heart is light snow, maybe as soon as their arrogant temper comes up, they won't marry me, doesn't that save me a lot of trouble? ”

"Nonsense!" Elder Meng Ge roared suddenly, his voice so loud that he was startled. It's been so many years, and no one has dared to make such a mistake in front of him. Helian County is really capable of making him angry like this!

"You're not hurting your reputation like this? What kind of thing is Jia Qingxue? Even if you are good with her, it will not be a reason for you not to get married! Unless, you're really ready to marry her! Can you marry her as a person? What a joke! Your uncle did the right thing, although he should have discussed with you in advance before letting out the words, but according to your scoundrel nature, where are you willing to be obedient? It's come to this, don't think about these things anymore, train your soldiers with peace of mind, and do what you're good at! Your marriage, your grandfather gave you a palm! Just wait for the bride to come in! ”

"Old man, this is not appropriate!" Helian Jun's eyes widened, he was unhappy, what is Meng Ge Lao? What is the difference with Meng Incheon? As soon as he returned to Meng's house, they came to meddle in his affairs, wouldn't they be at their mercy in everything in the future? Especially when it comes to marriage, even he hasn't thought about it himself, why should they be his master?

"Nothing out of place!" Meng Ge Lao was so excited that he even forgot to cough, "Who are you marrying or not?" Zuo is just a woman in the house! Do you like that yellow-faced woman...... Ahem, that Jia Qingxue, whatever you want! Just raise her outside and give birth to seven or eight children, and our Meng family can also raise her! It's just that your wife must be a lady from a family! Your future, you don't care, your grandfather cares! Your reputation, you don't care, your mother will! Your mother's most hurtful and painful life is because of this reputation! Why would she rather suffer outside the country than return to Beijing? Think for yourself, you are like this now, how sad your mother would be if she saw it! ”

At the mention of his mother, Helian Jun's smile froze on his face.

"The first big thing we have to do now is that the Meng family will be revived, and you must gain a firm foothold in Beijing. The courtiers reject you and slander you, the emperor suspects you and guards against you, the more this is the case, the more you have to break the status quo and squeeze into the core of power. You have been fighting for years and planning for several years, but you won't, just to return to the capital to be an idle marquis, right? Child, I know you have ambitions. You can rest assured that your grandfather and the Meng family will make you, support you, and become your strongest backing! King Qing is the royal clan, your aunt...... Alas, a woman's family has limited knowledge, and the only people you can trust and rely on are your grandfather and your uncle! Don't make your own decisions about this matter, listen to me! Don't worry, your grandfather and your uncle will not harm you! ”

The news that Helian County was going to marry was spread in the streets and alleys, and many people were waiting to see the jokes of Qingyin Pavilion, and there were women who claimed to be "women from good families" and "models of virtue", and from time to time a few rumors came out, sarcastically mocking Wei Yan for "having a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Festival in vain"......

The carriage drove from afar, and people on both sides of the road could be heard pointing at Qingyin Pavilion.

"Did you hear that? I heard that Meng Ge Lao looked down on her foxy appearance, and he didn't allow An Nanhou to entangle with her anymore. ”

"If you want me to say, it's no wonder that Meng Ge Lao, who is the parent who can watch his children being entangled by such a fox spirit? I don't know if it's clean money if I show up to take on some unserious business......"

"Exactly, the daughter of a good family, who will open a shop on the street? I also accompany those old men to drink tea and chat, and play the piano and sing songs, what is the difference between them and those lowly Qinglou women? (To be continued.) )
