167 Where love goes
Lou Ye had already received his orders, and he had been preparing fast horses for the past few days, and he immediately went to call the generals to prepare horses.
He asked Zhang Xueli to stay in the post house again, and asked him to accompany Xie Guoyun, who had rushed from the capital in the past two days.
After he met Chen Wenchang, he stayed in Mingzhou City for another two days, and then he was ready to return to the capital with Xie Guoyun.
"Your Excellency—"
When Zhang Shuyi saw that he was going to see Chen Wenchang, he was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded,
"There is nothing rude about the Lord and the Master Ji, even if he is suspicious to ask the Master Ji, it is enough for her to explain it herself. Why should adults go? ”
It's a bad thing to go!
Even Jun Mo on the side whispered, and said cautiously:
"Childe, if you go, there will be really gossip. You'll ...... then."
You're going to have to propose.
Lou Yun ignored Junmo, only looked at Zhang Xueli, and sighed:
"Since there is no rudeness, where will Chen Wenchang ask Master Ji directly? I should have gone and clarified something with him, yes Ji
The owner didn't want me to go. I've only been waiting for a few days. When I come back this time, although I have to go back to the capital immediately, I also plan to go to Jiyuan to propose. I also asked Mr. Zhang to work hard in the past two days to prepare a straw sticker for me and the first door-to-door dowry for me. ”
"My lord, never!"
Zhang Xueli was taken aback, and his old face showed scorchedness,
"Gongzi Wenchang is just guessing in his heart, he is not very sure. He is just at the right time now, so he doesn't want to return to Quanzhou City after getting married. I didn't mean to guard against adults. Why should adults rush to tell the truth?
Jun Mo nodded again and again on the side, but Lou Yun couldn't stand in the study.
Anyway, a dress is not an official uniform, he casually copied it, and prepared to go outside to get on the horse.
Zhang Xueli didn't care about his old age, and chased after him and persuaded him:
"My lord, now is not a good time for adults to propose."
On the corridor of the post house, Lou Yun's steps wanted to be faster, and he had to take into account the old henchman's breathlessness, he could only listen to his persuasion while walking,
"The adult has just withdrawn from his family, and the rumors outside are all praising the adult for being an upright official, and now he suddenly asks the owner of Ji Fang for marriage, doesn't it make everyone say that the adult has a new love in Waiyi, and he will abandon the daughter of the sect?"
Even Xie Guoyun, who had just heard the neighing of horses and rushed over from next door, stopped him in front of the courtyard gate and dissuaded:
"From this, my uncle and grandfather called me here to persuade you."
He grabbed the reins of the horse that Lou Yun reached out to take,
"Regarding the resignation between you and the county lord, my uncle didn't ask Zong Zhengsi to report to the palace. But how do you talk to the officials when you go back? Uncle Zu has already scolded my eldest brother in front of me at home, and asked me to come back and scold him for not stopping you and adding fuel to the fire. If you go to propose marriage to your sister's house now, Uncle Grandmaster won't be able to hold him back! ”
"Brother Xiuping."
Lou Yun called Xie Guoyun's expression, glanced at it and smiled: "When I was in Songfeng Ju in Zhuma Temple, you persuaded me ten times a day to propose to the master of Ji Fang——"
"How can it be the same!"
Xie Guoyun still had a few sticks on his back that were beaten out by Master Xie, and then he thought of the threat of going back to the house if he couldn't do it, and he didn't care about being embarrassed - he didn't want to be embarrassed - he didn't want to be embarrassed - he desperately hugged Lou Yun's waist and shouted,
"I already know in my heart what kind of person my junior sister - Master Ji is! You asked for a kiss at the time, and as long as she liked you, she would pounce on you and plan for you. If you don't quit, she can endure the lack of name until you quit! If you are embarrassed in the officialdom, she will do everything possible to start a workshop for you, pull connections, and help you get promoted! She doesn't want anything, just waiting for the day when you can marry her if everything goes well! Think about it, she is not like this to Wang Shiqiang? Wang Shiqiang's shameless thing, didn't he have already ordered the daughter of a petty criminal officer in Mingzhou? Look at what my sister did to him—"
“…… Brother Xiu Qi, what you are talking about is the original Ji Fang Master, not the current Ji Fang Master! ”
Lou Yun called Xie Guoyun's expression, why didn't he feel red at Wang Shiqiang, and didn't secretly hate Wang Shiqiang for bumping into good luck?
At this time, he could only pull the reins of the horse and smiled bitterly:
"She has suffered a loss, doesn't she know that she has to grow a little? Know how to deal with people? I'm not a person who can hold things in my heart, didn't I dare to talk to Chen Wenchang at that time? It's really that your junior sister's eyes are too scary, I'm just afraid that when I talked to her in the Zhuma Temple about the marriage proposal, or ruined her marriage with the Chen family, not only will I end up with a self-inflicted end, but I don't want to talk to your junior sister from now on! ”
With that, he pushed Xie Guoyun away and turned over on his horse.
Where is Xie Guoyun willing to let him go, hugging the horse's neck alive and dead, Lou Yun didn't wait for him to say more, and said on the saddle:
"I'm finally getting out of my family now. The county lord and the relatives of the Ji family only waited for her father to come over for the third salute. I'm not going to propose marriage to my sister now. Are you waiting for Chen Wenchang to settle the family affair with her? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left with his entourage.
Going out from Dongdumen Station, there is a harbor in the east, and a canal wharf in the west is connected to Zhexi.
The fast horse stepped up day and night along the official road by the river, and at least he could rush to the sea boat wharf in Taizhou at the same time as Ji Qingchen.
He knew very well that Chen Wenchang was only a little suspicious, how could he not immediately offer courtesy to her about the marriage when he seized the opportunity?
Of course, he had to rush over immediately.
But that Xie Guoyun is by no means an easy person to give up.
Among the three thousand Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime merchants, when it comes to shamelessness, he took the second, and no one dared to take the first, so he simply fell in front of Lou Yun's horse, rolling on the ground and crying, saying:
"Everyone in the capital knows that you quit Zhao Binglin's family to avoid suspicion. Even I bet on you for 300 yuan in the tile money table shop, and I bet you that you never thought of going to Princess Shang, let alone the eighth sister of our family. The good reputation in the capital is also piled up with money--if you go today, who will pay for the money I spent, I'm all for you-"
"Phew! You don't know when I don't know, the dealer of those money table shops is you, and no one will lose to you if you lose! ”
Lou Yun didn't bother to pay attention to this outwardly son-in-cheek kid, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he called the two housekeepers to drag him away.
With a whip, the handsome horse under his seat had already left the back alley of the post house in a hurry and ran onto the post bridge at Dongdu Gate.
Lou Chun drove his horse to chase after him, thinking about Zhao Deyuan's appearance.
Although this county lord and Lou Yun's first love are not exactly the same, they are rare women who look three or four points similar over the years.
The most important thing is that she is the right person and can be Lou Yun's wife.
"My lord, Chen Gangshou was unwilling to ask Chen Wenchang to marry Ji Fang, so my lord first sent someone to say hello to him and bring him over-?"
He thought that Lou Yun did not regret quitting even after seeing Zhao Deyuan, and of course the brothers needed to plan more for Lou Yun. lest he be one step late, he was preempted by Chen Wenchang and married the woman Lou Yun liked.
The river breeze blows, and Lou Ye also interjects in the sound of horses' hooves:
"Brother Yun, I think Master Ji Fang is a person who counts in family affairs, and Chen Wenchang is now clearly telling her that he wants to stay in Mingzhou City. Of course, the Ji Tomb Master was happy. If he had taken advantage of this time to privately talk to her about getting married soon, she might have agreed. Let's get someone to talk to Chen Gangshou first, so that there is room for redemption. ”
"Chen Hong was the first maritime merchant leader in Quanzhou to lean on me. Moreover, I secretly arranged Chen Wenchang's family affairs, and he knew it. I went to ask the owner of Ji Fang for marriage, so that he would have a bad face, I had to talk to him personally. ”
Lou Yun shook his head and only cared about urging the horse forward.
Lou Chun and Lou Ye glanced at each other, feeling that he was in such a hurry and refused to stay, because he wanted to go and clarify with Chen Wenchang first, but he was also worried that when Chen Wenchang and Ji Qingchen were talking, they would misunderstand her hypocrisy and secretly have a private relationship.
If he didn't go over and make it clear, wouldn't it make her embarrassed?
"Chen Wenchang wants to leave Quanzhou City to find a job in Liangzhejiang, I guess there are other meanings-"
Lou Yun was not a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but he didn't feel the need to discuss with Chen Hong first.
"Besides, what's going on with Ji Chenlong? Chen Wenchang shouldn't think about it. It's not surprising that he hasn't been heard from all along. It's a little strange that Master Ji didn't mention it, since he is not in the list of prisoners, isn't he in the Jin Kingdom? Even if Chen Wenchang wants to get married, the owner of Ji Fang has to find out this matter before he can agree. Otherwise, it will be the entire Chen family that will be affected. ”
Lou Chun and Lou Ye were taken aback at the same time, and persuaded in unison:
"My lord, since that's the case—'
Lou Ye thought about his sister Lou Ling and didn't say anything more, Lou Chun was still in a hurry:
"My lord, I don't know how to explain the matter of you and the county lord's divorce in front of the official family. In case it is also involved in the surrender of her second brother to the Jin Kingdom......"
This is no small matter.
"I've thought about this too, and there will be many twists and turns. But I can't give up the opportunity to marry for the sake of such speculation. ”
He sighed and drove his horse past the mouth of the busy river where passenger ships were going.
"If I don't take advantage of the marriage between Chen Wenchang and the Sun family, I will go to see him and remind him of the favor of seven years ago, and I will not be able to ask the owner of Ji Fang for marriage."
Seven years ago, the scholars knocked in the capital, because Emperor Xiaozong abdicated as Empress Taishang, and his own son Guangzong succeeded to the throne.
Because of his disagreement with his father since he was a child, he became free to be the emperor after ascending the throne, and he actually did not go to the emperor for several years, and made the emperor sick.
The emperor was too sick, and the official family did not go to the palace to visit, let alone personally send a doctor to treat his father.
The officials are so unfilial, and the advice of the ministers is useless, how can the scholars not knock on the emperor and scold the emperor.
At the beginning of that time, Lou Yun had already been awarded the eight-rank military position, and he had set up an ambition to study hard, so he resigned from his actual post and lived in penance and fasting.
As a result, because the Emperor Taishang was seriously ill, the officials and ministers quarreled, and the scholars knocked on the capital to lead the turmoil.
He was called up once.
In addition to patrolling the capital with twenty imperial city soldiers in shifts, he was also sent to drive away the troublemakers outside the palace gate at that time.
Chen Wenchang was beaten with a few sticks by the soldiers of the Imperial City Division, and he was almost stepped on by his own people in the crowd, so he became a wounded person among the three or four thousand soldiers.
At that time, Lou Yun also felt that this scholar was very tough, and he didn't run away even though his head was bleeding, and he was still reaching out to pull his companions from the crowd.
So Lou Yun pushed him and stuffed him to the corner of the palace wall of the Long Live Gate.
Chen Wenchang was not seriously injured.
Later, he became the supervisor of the city, and when he met Chen Wenchang at the Chen family banquet in Quanzhou City, he did not recognize him at that time.
On the contrary, it was because they wanted to come to Tangfang to ask for relatives, and after seeing each other a few times in Quanzhou City, they recognized each other.
This can be regarded as Chen Wenchang owing him a favor. R1152
