Mido's trouble, of course, was caused by impulsiveness, but there were so many people present to witness it, and it didn't mean that the pressure could be suppressed. Mi Duzhi himself has a big heart, so Mi Shengzhi is half angry, but he can't take him. If you directly knock someone out of the door, you are afraid that he will shout outside. Even if the matter ends and his family can be innocent, his daughter Mi Yingzhi's reputation has been damaged.

Mi Xingzhi could only quickly order someone to report the matter to the Jiannan Hou Mansion. In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, could it be that Mi really made a marriage alliance with his mother's brother before his death? Otherwise, how dare Mi Duzhi talk nonsense? If this is the case, no matter how pity it is, even if he cherishes Zhao Wei's talents, he can't promise his beloved daughter to the other party.

In the first month, the yamen sealed the pen, and Zhao Wei happened to be at home, accompanying his grandmother Zhang to talk to his sister Zhao Xiu, discussing how to get married. The servants sent to the small courtyard of the Mi family hurriedly came to report, and Zhao Wei was not wary at first, but he just thought that there was something from the husband and wife of Mi Province, so he directly passed the person into the courtyard. As soon as the servant told him what had happened, he couldn't help but be furious: "Nonsense! ”

Zhang was a little flustered: "What do you say?" When did your uncle enter Beijing? How did we not know? ”

Zhao Xiu was also strange in his heart, but seeing his brother Zhao Wei's eyebrows frowning slightly, he didn't seem to be surprised by the news, but more annoyed, so he guessed that he had already known: "Brother, do you know about your uncle's entry into Beijing?" ”

Zhao Wei said a little angrily: "I haven't come back from Jiangnan, he has already been to the capital, and he wants to live in our Hou Mansion several times." Because our ancestors and grandchildren were not at home, the porter did not recognize him and refused to let him go, so he took his family to live in a rented house in the outer city. Later, when I returned to Beijing, he also came to the door to ask for a meeting, but I thought that with his temperament, I must have asked for something. ”

Mido's original was because he made a big mistake in office, so he lost his position. The officials of a province in Shandong looked at the face of Jiannanhou and spared his life and let him get out safely. Based on this, Zhao Wei asked himself if his nephew was worthy of his uncle. But the mother and son of the Mi family don't seem to be people who know how to measure, but they are afraid that they will come to seek officials or wealth. If the Jiannan Hou Mansion accepts him, he will rely on the prestige of the Hou Mansion in the future to do anything outside, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Jiannan Hou Mansion?

Zhao Wei explained his concerns to his grandmother and sister, and said, "Uncle has eaten a few closed-door soups, and he already understands what I mean." He didn't say that he would dispel his thoughts and honestly return to his hometown to live in peace, but instead went to the Mingzhi Library to spread rumors and slander me. Fortunately, the students who came to the library were sensible and did not believe him. I didn't expect him to succeed, and now that he heard that I was married to my second cousin, he came to the door again. I can't swallow this breath no matter what! ”

It was not easy for him to get Mi Yingzhi as his wife, and Mi Duzhi actually wanted to ruin his marriage, even if it was his uncle, he couldn't forgive him.

Only then did Zhang and Zhao Xiu know what was going on. Zhang complained a little: "What are you hiding from us? If he had known that he was in the capital, he would have sent him some silver and sent him back to his hometown. Those people who are at the end of the road are the most hateful, just because they have no future, they have no scruples, even if they do mischief, the result will not be bad. I know that your brothers and sisters complained that he was ruthless back then, and I also complained in my heart. But now that he has fallen to this point, why bother with him anymore? casually sent a thousand handfuls of silver, a few rulers, and politely sent him away. Let outsiders know that we also have a good reputation for magnanimity. But if he does not want to, let him be escorted away. How can you let him talk nonsense outside? ”

Zhao Wei knew that he was negligent in his heart, and bowed his head to admit his mistake. However, the most important thing for him now is to settle the so-called "marriage contract" of Mi Duzhi, and he can't let the other party really talk nonsense outside, which will ruin the reputation of the two families of Jiannanhou Mansion and Mi Province.

However, then again. How could Midozhi suddenly say such a thing? Mi never promised any marriage back then, even if it was the intention of Mrs. Mi and Mi Du, the latter was just a seven-grade sesame official, but Zhao Wei was the grandson of the Hou Mansion, and the two families were not in the right household, how could they say that they were close? They mentioned that it was impossible for Mi to agree, but the "watch" did not know what was going on.

Zhao Xiu said: "What's so difficult about this? Let's just go and find out. If he was really lying, he probably wanted to take advantage of his mother's early death. Now the grandmother is here, and the grandmother says that there is no such thing, who can refute it? ”

Zhang's thought about it was right, but her meaning was a little different from Zhao Xiu: "Just ask them to come to the mansion to confront you." ”

Zhao Xiu persuaded her: "Uncle still has a few guests there, which can be regarded as a witness." Tear up the matter in front of them, lest they leave unclear, but spread the word about it, and ruin the reputation of the cousin of the Mi family. Moreover, we took the initiative to come to the door to explain the matter, which is also to express our family's sincerity to this family business. lest the cousin's nerd temper come up, in order not to damage Cousin Mi's name, he retired from the family business. ”

Zhang hurriedly said, "That's not good. Let's go. ”

Zhao Wei was a little reluctant: "It's a cold day, but for the sake of my grandson, but my grandmother is tired of running around......"

Zhang interrupted him with a smile: "Hugh wants to be a child." Your family affairs are the most important thing in your grandmother's heart, but if you take two extra steps, where can you be tired? Hurry over and expose your ridiculous uncle's lies. ”

The three grandchildren rode horses and cars respectively, and went to the small courtyard outside Chongwen Gate.

When I arrived at the small courtyard where Demi's family temporarily lived, it was already quite lively. Midozhi sprinkled in the courtyard, clamoring to go to the official. The other guests who came to congratulate sat awkwardly in the hall, wanting to say goodbye, but Mi Shengzhi begged them to stay for a while. He knew the impact of this incident, and learned that the ancestors of the Zhao family had already rushed to hear the news, of course, he didn't want the guests to leave first without knowing the result, and spread the gossip.

Mi Xingzhi also specially sent someone to invite the big media Li Guangdi to come. Li Guangdi lived closer to Chongwenmen, one step earlier than the ancestors of the Zhao family. He is the iceman of this marriage, which is a good thing, and it is also a beautiful talk when it spreads, and he is also shocked and angry if he doesn't want such a change to happen suddenly. He didn't know about the entanglement between the Zhao family and the Mi family, and thought in his heart that if Zhao Wei really made a marriage with his uncle's cousin a long time ago, but now he changed his mind because of the defeat of his uncle's family and married his sister, it would be a scandal. Even he, a matchmaker, will be affected.

However, taking another look at Mi Duzhi who was sprinkled in the courtyard, Li Guangdi showed a disdainful gaze again. Just because of this person's temperament, how can the Zhao family also be a prince, how could he marry his daughter for his eldest son? Most of it was made up by him!

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu helped Zhang into the door respectively, Mi Duzhi was in the courtyard, and when he saw them, he immediately stopped his mouth and couldn't help shrinking his neck. His eyes rolled twice, and he was not afraid in his heart, but when he thought that if this marriage could really be done, his daughter would be Mrs. Hou in the future, and she would enjoy endless wealth and glory, so what else could he fear? How can Zhao Wei also be his nephew, is it possible that he can still kill his uncle?

In his heart, he became more and more fearless, and jumped up directly and shouted at Zhang, who had just entered the door: "Mrs. in-laws, my eldest sister has already asked to marry my daughter for her eldest son that day, but more than ten years have passed, how did you change your hexagram?" Could it be that I am no longer an official, so I have to be treacherous?! ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How has my daughter-in-law begged your daughter to marry her grandson? This is absolutely nothing! ”

Mi Duzhi shook the jade pendant again: "This is the watch, it is ironclad evidence!" You don't want to deny it! ”

Zhao Xiu raised his voice and asked, "Uncle said that it was a watch?" Bring it to us. If it's really a watch, there must always be some marks or origins, right? ”

Mi Du was stunned, looked at her carefully, and saw that it was a young girl, tall and tall, although she was wearing a hat, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she seemed to be his niece, her eyes rolled again, and she took the jade pendant back into her arms: "That's not good, in case you take the opportunity to snatch the watch, and say that things don't count, the Hou Mansion is powerful, don't I have a bitterness and nowhere to complain?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled slightly: "I heard that my brother's mentor is also in the hall, he is a famous man in this dynasty, and he is the most fair, and everyone is impressed." Give him the jade pendant and ask him to describe it to us, and then we will know whether it is true or not. If it's really a record, it's always a bit of a history. Otherwise, any cat or dog with a jade pendant and bracelet will come to the door, and say that it is a woman who is engaged to my brother, where can my brother marry? ”

Mi Duzhi's face suddenly changed: "You girl is so rude, I am your own uncle, you dare to say that I am a cat and a dog?!" ”

Zhao Wei sneered: "My sister has never named her name, why did my uncle recognize that name by himself?" If it weren't for the weakness of the heart, it wouldn't have to be so. ”

Mi Du was so angry that he saw that most of the people in the hall stretched their necks to pay attention to the disputes in the courtyard, so he simply turned his heart sideways and said loudly: "I don't know as much as your children's family, in short, this marriage was made by your dead mother before her death, out of filial piety, you have to admit it if you don't recognize it!" ”

Zhang took a bite of him: "Do your spring and autumn dreams!" What is the identity of my grandson? What qualifications does your daughter have to miss him? When their mother was still alive, you were just a seven-rank official, and you were still an official who relied on the strength of our Hou Mansion. No matter how confused their mother is, they won't take a fancy to your daughter! ”

Zhao Xiu covered his mouth and smiled: "Even if you like it, it's useless." I heard that my uncle's cousin was a year younger than me, and she hadn't been born when she left Beijing. My mother didn't even know whether my aunt was pregnant with a man or a woman, so how could she ask for her brother? If my aunt gave birth to a cousin, wouldn't that be a joke? ”

Mido's face turned blue, but he forgot about this flaw.

Zhao Wei said with a cold face: "When my mother was alive, she was the most virtuous and conscientious. I am my grandfather's grandson, my father's eldest son, my marriage, my father can't be the master, let alone my mother? I didn't know that there would be people in this world who would think that my late mother would hide from her in-laws and husband and set a cousin who didn't know male or female as my wife. There is nothing more absurd in the world than this! ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion outside the door. Soon Wu Laixing walked in the door and reported to Zhao Weiyu: "Master Hou, the old lady and wife of the Mi family, the young master, and the girl have arrived. The landlord of the house they are renting has also arrived. ”

Midozhi's face suddenly turned pale. (To be continued.) )
