Qiu Guhan pursed his lips and said nothing.

What does he have to say?

Xia Wusheng had to talk to himself, so let him talk to himself.

Xia Wusheng saw that he was so quiet, and when he was thinking about this matter, he said it Shi Ran.

"I've thought about it," he said, "for the sake of your future, Prince Luck's family must not only have real power and connections, but the princess herself must also have the talent and means, so that she can help you." Although there are some women in Tianzhou who are suitable for you, but under the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid it will not be a good thing, so uncle, I have been paying attention to the noble ladies outside the capital. ”

Qiu Guhan sneered in his heart, this old man really has everything in mind.

Xia Wusheng continued: "I investigated more than a dozen women with good backgrounds and talents, and finally took a fancy to the granddaughter of Xiangguo Gong, the county lord of Hongwei. ”

Qiu Guhan frowned when he heard it.

Xiang Guogong is a generation of important ministers. The lord of the Red Lady is also quite famous. Of course, he had heard about the grandfather and grandson.

But he frowned not out of any thoughts about the grandfather and grandson, but purely because he was uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a woman's name that might involve him.

Xia Wusheng saw his reaction and thought that he was dissatisfied with the county lord of Hongwei, so he hurriedly said: "Liuxue, don't be in a hurry to refute, listen to me first." Although this Hongwei county lord is not famous for her beauty and courtesy, she can be literate and martial, and has lofty ambitions, especially since she has learned to be a housekeeper since she was a child, and she is very authoritative in the Xiangguo Mansion, and her relationship with the brothers who are in charge of tens of thousands of troops along the coast is also very good. ”

Qiu Guhan didn't speak, just a soft "hum" from his nostrils.

The lord of Hongwei County is also a heroine in the eyes of the world, but compared to her, she is still far behind, right?

In front of him, he said that other women can be literate and martial, ambitious or something, he can only disagree.

"Look, what's that look on your face?" Xia Wusheng frowned and began to talk about the truth, "You are a person who has done great things, and you are also a person who has suffered hardships, how can you judge people by their appearance like ordinary people?" The county lord may not be beautiful and gentle enough, and may have a more heroic and straightforward side than a man, but she has a background, talent and ambition, and can help you a lot, so it is cost-effective for you to marry a wife! If you think she is not beautiful and docile enough, it will be ...... to take a concubine after giving birth to a child."

Qiu Guhan seems to be listening, but in fact, it is all in the left ear and out of the right ear.

He hadn't met the Red Lady Lord, but he had heard a lot of rumors about her.

For example, she is a little stronger, her skin is a little darker, her behavior is a little too rude, and she likes to call men brothers and sisters too much.

For example, she often complains that she was born of the wrong gender, and often complains that the men in this world are not as good as her, she should be born as a man and make contributions or something.

Let's put it this way, it's probably a man's wife.

He has absolutely no discrimination or contempt for such a woman, he just doesn't like to be associated with other women.

While he was muttering in his heart, Xia Wusheng finally finished the reasoning, and then stared at him: "Do you say that what your uncle said makes sense?" ”

Qiu Guhan smiled reluctantly: "It does make sense, it's just ......"

It's just that he doesn't like it!

But Xia Wusheng interrupted him: "Xiangguo is nearly seventy years old, and he is about to return to Beijing to retire, and the lord of Hongwei County will also return to Beijing with him, and the time will be three days later." I went out to work this time, and I once talked to Xiangguo about you and the lord of Hongwei County, and Xiangguo Gong was quite satisfied with you and had the heart to complete this family matter. You can recuperate well, and then go with me to pick up the Duke of Xiangguo, and meet with the lord of Hongwei County......"

Qiu Guhan nodded his chin at his hands: "Uncle, you see that I am broken now, and my hands can't move, how bad it is to go like this, I still don't go." ”

"Hey," Xia Wusheng said again, "The Lord of Hongwei County is not an ordinary woman, she will never care about your injuries, and maybe you will think that you are a good man because of your injuries." You listen to your uncle, go with you then, and your uncle will explain your injuries well. ”

Qiu Guhan didn't speak.

He didn't want to go.

Very much do not want to go.

Xia Wusheng looked at his expression, and said: "Ding Xingwang, a member of the Xu family, there are many young ladies to be married who return to Beijing with Xiangguo Gong this time, if you really don't look down on the county lord of Hongwei, you can also consider other candidates." In short, your uncle has analyzed and screened for you, Xiang Guogong is your best candidate for marriage, if you want to achieve a great career, you should not let go of this opportunity. ”

After that, he stood up and didn't give Qiu Guhan a chance to refuse: "Uncle will go back and prepare first, and then send someone to pick you up in the morning in three days, you can recuperate well in the past few days, don't think about anything." ”

And so he went out.

Qiu Guhan looked at his back and gritted his teeth.

This is the first time Xia Wusheng wants to stuff the "princess" for him?

He couldn't remember the first few times he had refused.

But this time, he had to make a decision.

- He is a man who does great things, how can he waste time on such a thing that has no room for him?

Outside the door curtain, Fog Boy heard their conversation thoughtfully.

However, his expression did not let Qiu Guhan see it.

Three days later, in the morning, Xia Wusheng really sent someone to pick up Qiu Guhan and go out.

Qiu Guhan did not disobey Xia Wusheng's intentions, took the fog boy, and obediently sat in the carriage.

More than an hour later, they received Xiangguo Gong, who had just arrived on the outskirts of Beijing, in an ancient temple in the suburbs.

Then, they talked and laughed all the way back to Xiang Guogong's private residence in Tianzhou.

For decades, Xiang Guogong was stationed in more than a dozen towns along the coast, becoming the first line of defense against naval attacks and enemies in Shangguo.

Xiangguo Mansion was also built in the coastal city, because Xiangguo's surname was Xu, and he was low-key, and his private residence in the capital was hung with a plaque of "Xu Mansion".

Xiang Guogong came back this time also very low-key, and did not make a public announcement, he still drove lightly, and not many people in the capital knew the news of his return.

It wasn't until he entered the Xu Mansion that Qiu Guhan met several granddaughters who returned to Beijing with Xiangguogong.

Xiangguo's wives and concubines were in groups, so he also had children, and these children had children, so he had many granddaughters.

After getting rid of the granddaughters who have already married and the granddaughters who are still young, there are still five or six granddaughters in the state of waiting to be married.

Xiang Guogong thought that a good man should learn to practice martial arts and make meritorious contributions, so he did not bring healthy sons and grandsons into Beijing, leaving them to serve in the army along the coast, and only brought back his sons, grandsons and granddaughters who were not suitable for martial arts and war, hoping that the granddaughters would become their own sons in the capital, so as not to make his old man's old life too lonely.

And most of his granddaughters have not been in the capital, yearning for the capital very much, but also have long been thinking to find a good family in the capital to marry, I heard that the young man who is with him is the legendary Prince Xing who has outstanding appearance and talent, and they are all eye-catching.

Although not every girl likes such a prince, there are always a few who are excited.

During the banquet, these girls went to get close to Qiu Guhan one by one, intentionally or unintentionally, and Qiu Guhan was polite and alienated to everyone, not revealing any personal feelings.

Xiangguo Gong and Xia Wusheng observed for a long time, but they didn't see which girl Qiu Guhan had half a meaning for, including the county lord of Hongwei.
