Chapter 98: Trouble (1)
"King Qi, where are we going?" Out of the East Palace, the guard who was waiting for Wei Ze outside the door asked.
Wei Ze was stunned after hearing this, and after receiving Yang Xiuqing's order, Wei Ze only took the guards to Tianjing City. Even if Yang Xiuqing ordered him to immediately go to Dongxiliang Mountain to fortify, Wei Ze would have to wait until the troops arrived in Tianjing City before leaving. However, Wei Ze felt that it was not a bad thing to leave the land of right and wrong in Tianjing City now.
Anyway, the military department of the Dongwang Mansion had already completed the procedures for stationing in East and West Liangshan, and Wei Ze was not worried that he would be left there after he ran to East and West Liangshan.
But on second thought, it was obviously inappropriate to do so. No matter how troublesome Tianjing City is, as long as Wei Ze doesn't ask for trouble, there will be no special problems. Just as he was about to talk about going back to the Qi Palace, Wei Ze suddenly remembered that he had been promised after asking Qi Yuchang for marriage, and now that he had arrived in Tianjing City, it was really unreasonable not to go to Qi Yuchang's house in person.
"Go to Qi Yuchang's house!" Weeser said. Somehow, Wei Ze felt that his face was flushed, and his speech was not plain and neat.
"Yes!" The guards didn't ask anything, everyone was on horseback, and after the team set up, they went straight to Qi Yuchang's house.
The city of Nanjing is not only a city wall on the outside, but also divided into several blocks, and if you want to get from one block to another, you also need to pass through the city gate inside GuΓ². Although no one dared to make things difficult for Wei Ze when he passed through the gates of GuΓ², the team of more than 20 cavalry members moved in the city, and they also looked quite eye-catching. And those guarding the city gate are Yang Xiuqing's cronies and even relatives, Wei Ze knows that he can't hide the matter of marrying his relatives, so he doesn't care about these things.
When he arrived at Qi Yuchang's house, Qi Yuchang hadn't returned home yet. The last person to greet Wei Ze was Qi Yuchang's daughter Qi Hongyi. The marriage contract is a very effective thing in this year, since Qi Yuchang agreed to Wei Ze's marriage proposal, if there is no extremely special situation, this family matter will definitely be implemented. Qi Hong saw that her fiancΓ© came to the door like this, although she could still greet her more clearly, but she couldn't help but be shy in her face.
Qi Yuchang's family Ding Buwang, Qi Hongyi has two younger brothers, the eldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger is only fourteen or fifteen years old. The two teenagers also knew that Wei Ze was their future brother-in-law, and although the two followed behind their sister very honestly, their expressions when they looked at Wei Ze were full of curiosity.
Wei Ze watched Qi Hongyi handle the affairs of the family very comfortably, looking like a steward, he felt that he liked it a lot. Traditional marriage may seem less passionate, but it naturally gives rise to a very reliable feeling. So Wei Ze couldn't help but ask: "My parents are no longer there, and it's still time for war." And I think that after getting married, we will live together, so I also dare to ask Miss Qi, when do you think this wedding date is more appropriate. β
After listening to Wei Ze's straightforward question, Qi Hongyi's face immediately turned as red as a little apple. Qi Hongyi's two younger brothers are still teenagers after all, and they have no experience in running a family. Therefore, they did not have any sense of surprise that Wei Ze had quite a shocking problem in this era. Both of them stared at their sister with uneasy expressions on their faces. It seems that they don't want their sister to be taken away by Wei Ze.
Qi Hongyi's face became redder and redder, she stood up suddenly, threw Wei Ze in the lobby, and ran back to the back room by herself.
Wei Ze didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did, and now the war was in full swing. And in the ghost place of Tianjing City, he also thinks that the less he comes, the better. Since the marriage is decided, the sooner the better. 1854 was not the 21st century, and even if everyone was married, men and women could often see each other and get along with each other. Wei Ze can't get along with Qi Hongyi for another year and a half, and in the current situation, if it drags on for a year and a half, the two may not be able to meet once.
Qi Hongyi ran to the back hall, and Wei Ze couldn't help it. He could only sit honestly in the lobby and wait for Qi Yuchang to go home.
After waiting for a while, Qi Hongyi appeared in the lobby with a straight face. She said to Wei Ze in a very stern tone: "His Royal Highness King Qi, can you let your own soldiers go far away?" β
Wei Ze asked the soldiers outside the hall to go outside the door first, Qi Hongyi turned his head and said to the two younger brothers: "You go to the study for me to wait first!" β
"Sister......" Qi Hongyi's younger brother wanted to refuse his sister's request.
"Go now!" Qi Hongyi's eyes widened, and he shouted sternly.
The two and a half boys didn't dare to refuse anymore, and they ran away. In the living room, only Wei Ze and Qi Hongyi remained.
Turning his head, Qi Hongyi asked with a straight face: "His Royal Highness King Qi, what do you mean by what you just said?" β
Wei Ze lowered his gaze slightly, quickly raised his head again, and said to Qi Hongyi: "The meaning of Fang Cai's words, I think it has been explained very clearly. If you want to know why I say this, there are two reasons: first, I value this family business. The last time I talked to Miss Qi about reading, I liked it very much. If you want to live in the future, you can't say a word to me, its wisdom is within reach, and its stupidity is beyond its reach! As a result, my wife thought I was saying that someone else was stupid. What's the point of those days? Since the last time we met, I have admired Miss Qi. So I really want to get married sooner. Second, with Miss Qi's cleverness, she should know that as the King of Qi, it is unlikely that I will do whatever I want in the future. There are many people and things that hinder them. So if I get married now, I can avoid a lot of trouble. Mr. Qi can also avoid a lot of trouble. However, if you do this, the marriage ceremony will be very simple, and it will not be possible to make it so grand. This is a little sorry for Miss Qi. But it's really not because I want to do this, but because I can only do it from the perspective of my interests. β
Qi Hong commented that Wei Ze was extremely serious when he spoke, so he listened very carefully. Listening to this, she frowned at first, then showed a look of shame on her face, and finally Qi Hongyi covered her mouth with her hand.
Wei Ze was very suspicious that Qi Hongyi was angry and cried by himself, he thought about his words carefully, but he really couldn't think of why Qi Hongyi was angry and cried. Could it be that Qi Hongyi felt that he had been forced to marry Wei Ze, and this reality made Qi Hongyi feel very sad? However, Wei Ze thought about it for a while, and felt that if Qi Hongyi had such a spirit of resistance, then he really had to marry this well-informed woman.
Poof! Qi Hongyi couldn't hold back in the end, and actually laughed out loud. But just smiling like this, tears appeared in Qi Hongyi's beautiful eyes.
Looking at this pitiful appearance, Wei Ze also felt a little guilty in his heart. He said with some embarrassment: "If it was a peaceful year, I would definitely not do this." However, since this era of war has begun, we can only try to survive in this era of war. And when I say this to Miss Qi, I really want Miss Qi to hear this. No matter how bad these times are, my admiration for Miss Qi is very sincere. It was not because of his admiration for Mr. Qi Yuchang that he wanted to marry Miss Qi. But when I saw Miss Qi, I admired Miss Qi's knowledge and demeanor. Only then did he ask Mr. Qi Yuchang for marriage. Miss Qi must not figure this out. β
After Wei Ze finished speaking a little tremblingly, Qi Hongyi put down his palm and wiped his tears. She forced a smile and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, I know what you say from the bottom of your heart. It's just that you have to ask you to talk to my father about these things......"
This is the first time Wei Ze has really talked about marriage to women, looking at Qi Hongyi's attitude, he has long forgotten that he was in 1854, and the attitude formed in the 21st century made Wei Ze want to say something that satisfied Qi Hongyi, he frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Miss Qi, I really hope that Miss Qi can like this family business." But there's really no way to do it perfectly......"
Qi Hongyi said in a tone that hated iron and steel: "King Qi! Please don't talk about it. I really appreciate your sincerity, but you know that you can't do it perfectly, and if you say so much, isn't that just a recipe for adding to it? β
Wei Ze didn't know how to deal with girls, so he was robbed of Qi Hongyi like this, and he also felt that he was quite useless, and he blushed a little.
The two were silent for a while, and Qi Hongyi got up and said, "Please wait here for a while longer, and my father should be able to come back soon." I won't accompany King Qi next. β
"Delay Miss Qi, I'll just wait here." Wei Ze said honestly.
Qi Hongyi smiled bitterly, and she walked quickly out of the lobby.
Qi Hongyi expected it right, Wei Ze reluctantly put away his mind after Qi Hongyi left, thinking about how to raise materials to build an iron lock to block the river. Without waiting for Wei Ze to think about the two links, Qi Yuchang came back. In the end, it became a situation where Wei Ze went out to meet his master Qi Yuchang.
The two sat down again, and Wei Ze proposed to Qi Yuchang the idea of getting married as soon as possible. Qi Yuchang was not particularly surprised, he asked, "But I don't know when King Qi is going to get married?" β
"Mr. Qi, I will report this time to the king of the east in the next meeting. When you arrive in Wuhu in the next few days, please ask Mr. Qi to send your young lady to Wuhu to get married. Wei Ze told Qi Yuchang the plan he had already thought of.
"Alas! King Qi, let's do it. Qi Yuchang replied after sighing.
"Mr. Qi, I don't want to be so public, I am ready to save anything about wearing red and hanging colors. But I want to give a bride price of 5,000 taels, I don't know what Mr. Qi thinks? Weser asked.
Five thousand taels of silver as a bride price is really a lot, but Qi Yuchang doesn't care about this money. In fact, it shouldn't have been Wei Ze to talk about these things with Qi Yuchang, at least he had to invite a matchmaker or something like that to go through the motions. But Wei Ze is the king of Qi, since he chose it this way, Qi Yuchang really has no way to resist Wei Ze. He smiled bitterly and said, "One qiΔ is according to the will of King Qi." β
After Wei Ze said goodbye, Qi Yuchang returned to the back and called his daughter Qi Hongyi out. He told Qi Hongyi that Wei Ze did his best to get married, but he heard Qi Hongyi say: "Daddy, Wei Ze has already told me about this." β
"Huh?" Qi Yuchang was frightened, and after listening to his daughter Qi Hongyi tell him about the afternoon, Qi Yuchang opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. After a long while, he rubbed his temples and said, "Qi Hongyi, it seems that Wei Ze really cares about you!" Since he has such a mind, I actually feel a little relieved. β
Qi Hongyi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Daddy, is Wei Ze really in trouble?" Will it implicate you? β
Qi Yuchang shook his head slightly, "There is no trouble." Wei Ze has always been careful in doing things, and I told you recently that the East King is persecuting the Heavenly King and the North King more and more. Not only that, the Eastern King has recently relied more and more on means, and it is not impossible to punish Wei Ze if he really punishes him. However, if Wei Ze is really afraid of trouble, he can't care about this family business. However, he wants to get married first, which shows that he still likes you quite a lot. β
"As long as I don't implicate Daddy, I'll listen to your orders!" Qi Hongyi lowered his head and whispered.
