"What about twelve?" Han Ji was a little unhappy again. Now he can't help but be unhappy whenever he hears that someone is not optimistic about this marriage. "She is smart, cute, sensible, brave and resourceful, she is the only person in the world who is worthy of me, I identify her, even if she is only two years old, I will wait and marry."

Wei State Gong Qi knot. I was obviously kicking the fire in my heart, and I couldn't bear to sprinkle it out: "In this big Zhou world, there is no girl of the same age who can enter your eyes?" ”

"Nope." Han Ji looked at the ground with his eyes, not angry.

Wei Guogong was completely speechless. But it's his son who is disobedient, can he still smoke him? He threw the file aside in his hand, "Let me think!" Han Ji raised his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but bend his lips. Wei Guogong glared at him: "Look at your bear-like, that girl is so good?" ”

Han Ji said: "My mother is so good in your eyes? ”

Wei Guogong was speechless again.

Luo Wei, the deputy general next to him, couldn't help but puff out when he saw it, was glared at by Wei Guogong, and then held back a smile.

Han Ji walked out with his head held high, and his proud appearance even the soldiers under the corridor couldn't help but pay attention frequently.

Wei Guogong looked at his back for a long time, and then resigned himself to Luo Wei, "I remember that Shen Mi was in charge of the general secretary opposite?" You go and inquire about the girl of the Shen family, and then inquire about Shen Mi. Shen Mi returned to Beijing the year before last, and the two met once on the spring search, but only once, and he was temporarily transferred to the northwest. So I don't know anything about this person.

Luo Wei went out for a while, but he came back quickly.

said: "Miss Shen is indeed only twelve years old this year. There are not many appearances outside, but her sister, who married into the Xie family in Jiangnan not long ago, has a good reputation outside, and they all say that she is a dignified and generous girl. Miss Shen originally had a marriage contract with the Fang family, but later it is said that she invited a senior monk to calculate that if the marriage between the two was destined to have no children, the two families still divorced after negotiation. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Wei Guogong was a little puzzled, "Didn't the Shen family find someone to marry before they got married?" ”

"Yes. This is a hexagram that was calculated after the fact. Luo Wei said. He added: "Although the little one is hearsay, I feel that this matter is somewhat credible, because since they divorced, the third girl of the Fang family has been engaged to the second son of the Shen family. If there were really any man-made reasons, the two families should not be so harmonious. ”

Wei Guogong sighed.

He didn't think that there was anything wrong with the girl of the Shen family, after all, there were no bad rumors outside, so it was very inappropriate to speculate on the girl's character.

He asked, "How is Shen Mi?" ”

Even if the family background is comparable, you have to look at the character of the in-laws. The children of the big family are not all excellent, and now Shen Mi is so favored in front of the emperor, what if he is a courtier who can only invite favors?

Luo Wei said: "Lord Shen is very good at chess, and his skills are quite fine. Although he is good at dancing with long sleeves, he has always acted in principle, and he has always been in love with his wife, I heard that Shen Er's grandmother has not added an heir to Lord Shen for so many years, and he has never given up, and he has never been ashamed of his behavior towards his wife. ”

Single-mindedness, which is rare.

When Wei Guogong heard this, the knot in his heart had slowly loosened.

A person who can be affectionate to his wife and never abandon him will not be far behind in other places.

"Anything else?"

Luo Wei thought for a while, "I heard that Gu Shizi and Lord Shen are close friends, if Grandpa Guo wants to know more details, it is better to ask Gu Shizi." ”

After speaking, he smiled again: "In addition, several elders, as well as Rong Guogong and Shen Yushi also have a good relationship, Fang Gongzi is also Shen Tongzheng's chess protΓ©gΓ©, Lord Fang Guan has a very good relationship with him, and the old Guo Ge of the Zhuge also admires Shen Tongzheng." If Grandpa Guo wants to invite a matchmaker, there are a lot of ready-made ones. ”

Wei Guogong heard him say such a long list, and his heart was already happy. Putting aside the Shen family's family background, as a descendant of a relict minister, it is good to be able to be favored by so many important ministers. The elders and the emperor have a surging dark tide in private, and Shen Mi can maintain a good relationship with the nobles and the elders while winning the trust of the emperor, in addition to good character, he must have some real skills.

He stood up with his hands in his hands, paced two steps, and said, "So, you also think it's good to marry the Shen family?" ”

Luo Wei said with a smile: "How dare the little one put the beak of the prince's life's event." ”

Wei Guogong looked at him and said fixedly: "You watched him born and raised, when he was a child, he was naughty and I beat him, which time did you not plead behind your back?" Now that he has grown up in the blink of an eye, it is time to marry a wife, although you and him have no uncles and nephews, they also have uncles and nephews, and there are no outsiders now, so what's the harm in talking about it? ”

Luo Wei lowered his eyes awe-inspiringly, looked at the ground for a moment, and then said: "Since Grandpa Guo said so, it would be hypocritical to excuse the small one." The Shen family has such a good family background, and it is difficult to find a second household in the court. The official position is secondary, and the small ones mainly feel that their family background is sufficient. When Gu Shizi Dong Shizi had a conversation with Grandpa Guo before, he mentioned the emperor's attitude towards Xungui in the past two years.

"Judging from these things, if we don't take it tougher, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before we take back our military power. I know that everyone will not give up power, but it is also difficult to defeat what traps are set in the palace, if you lose your military power, the status of the noble will plummet. At that time, civil officials will inevitably be pressed on top of the nobles.

"According to the small one, the Shen family to Shen Mi's generation only has more glory and no defeat, if we have such an in-law, we will not be defeated. And in the future, in addition to the son of the lord, other children can also use the power of the Shen family to take the imperial examination, and even if we don't lose our military power, it is good to let other children take the imperial examination as an alternative path.

"So I think that this marriage is only good for the Han family, and there is no harm."

Wei Guogong couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and a trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows, "You are right, the Zhao family has always been suspicious, since the emperor can issue an order to reprimand the Dong family for the sake of Pang Dingbei, this is already trying to reach out to Xungui." ”

After speaking, he was silent outside the window for a long time, and then said to him: "But the other party is only twelve years old, and it will be delayed until at least three years before they can get married, and Ji'er will be twenty years old at that time!" ”

Luo Wei smiled when he heard this: "Judging from the child, I'm afraid the prince didn't want to wait until Miss Shen and Lu to marry." ”

Wei Guogong was stunned: "Could it be that kid still wants to marry immediately?" ”

Luo Wei smiled as if mentioning his own child, "I heard that the prince of the world has asked someone from the Ministry of Industry to measure the size of each room in the main house of Yifeng Hall, I guess I am afraid that someone from the Ministry of Industry was invited to help build a new house." ”

Wei Guogong was stunned, and scolded in his mouth: "This kid! ”

After scolding, he lost his smile unconsciously, turned around and stroked a bow hanging on the shelf and said quietly: "This kid, this willful person who doesn't care about it, is really the same as his mother's temperament back then." ”

He took his bow off, pointed it out the window, and pulled the string with his bare hand, the taut string being loosened abruptly, rubbing against the air with a whirring sound.

Luo Wei looked at his heroic and gloomy figure from behind, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

When Han Ji came out of the Wei State Mansion, he sent Tao Xing to keep an eye on his whereabouts, and when he heard that Luo Wei went to the opposite side of the Tongzheng Division, he shook around and went back, guessing that he was going to inquire about Shen Mi. Then I heard that he had an appointment with Gu Zhicheng for dinner at night, so he let go of his heart, the Shen family didn't have any handle to take, as long as he was concerned about this matter, the matter was already half successful.

Han Ji fiddled with the jade paperweight in the study, and the joy in his heart was written on his face, "I don't know who my father will invite to be this matchmaker, is it the Duchess of Rongguo, or the old lady of Xu Ge?" It's better to find a heavier one, so that Yan'er's father can't excuse himself, I always feel that he doesn't like me very much, but I don't know where to offend him. ”

Xin Yi sat opposite him, glanced at him, who barely wrote the words "want to get married" on his face, and said coldly: "Luo Wei went out and inquired about so much news, did you deliberately let it go to him, young master?" ”

Han Ji looked back: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. ”

Xin Yi raised his lips: "It's still the same sentence, your own father is not a problem, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy in front of Ling Yue." Let's not talk about whether he likes you or not, just say that a family like the Shen family doesn't need to marry his daughter so early. Their eldest girl was also married at the age of sixteen. The Han family has a deep relationship with the royal family, isn't the Shen family afraid of the infamy of betraying a woman for glory? ”

Han Ji gradually straightened up: "What do you want to say?" ”

Xin Yi said: "I mean, who to ask to be the matchmaker is secondary, and how to impress your Taishan at the moment is the main thing." ”

When Han Ji heard this, he unconsciously put down the paperweight in his hand.

Even if Shen Yan didn't say it, now he could be sure that she would marry him, otherwise she wouldn't have not shown the slightest sign of avoiding after he confessed to her, but she would also go directly to Xin Yi when she needed help. But what Xin Yi said is very reasonable, even if she agrees, it is useless for Shen Mi to disagree.

The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, if Shen Mi and his wife are unwilling, can he still let her fight against the family?

He was the one who wanted to marry a wife, so naturally he had to solve it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I know that Second Master Shen's chess skills are very superb, you help me submit a post to the Shen family, see when he has time, and give me a face, I invite him to play chess and eat tea in Dongtai Temple." ”

Xin Yi paused and nodded.

Shen Mi and his wife looked at Shen Yan like eyeballs, Han Ji took care of his daughter privately for a night, although he was polite on his face, but later there was a night tour of the palace, and it was impossible for him to let the shrewd not think about it. At present, he even has to hide from him about Hua's pulse diagnosis, which shows that he may not be taking Han Ji as someone to defend himself in private.

Instead of letting Wei Guogong come to the door and run into a wall, it is better for him to try the steel fire in private.

Then he said: "It just so happens that tomorrow I should also go to the Shen family to see the second grandmother, and by the way, I will bring the post over." ”R1152
