The next day, Kong Fang left with the silver, and at the same time, a team of envoys came to the capital, sent by Ulysses IV.

The arrival of this legation asked the saint to send troops, so that the saint could also announce the dispatch of a large army to Sijon.

After the news was made public, there was no surprise among the officials in the capital, but the ordinary people were a little panicked and didn't know what was going on.

On the tenth day of the first month of winter, the sage summoned twenty-two sons, which was considered to be a formal explanation of this matter, to everyone's surprise, Fu Gongzi did not agree, but resigned and let his younger brother follow the expedition.

The reason is that Fu Gongzi is sick and it is not good to follow the army on the expedition.

The sage also agreed, so that Fu Gongzi could go to the southern capital to cultivate.

On the day of the eleventh, Su Gongzi came to Lin Duowen with a smile, and with Su Gongzi there was Qingru, Su Gongzi told Lin Duowen that this time Qingru went to Beijing to see off Su Gongzi.

Lin Duowen smiled and set up a banquet to entertain the two, when talking, Lin Duowen felt that Qingru and Su Qing were different, although they were both from the same background, but Qingru obviously had arrogance.

Lin Duowen was also happy that Su Gongzi could find such a good girl, but what Lin Duowen was worried about was whether this Qingru girl could be accepted by Xiangguo Gong?

"My father has always been the most open-minded, as long as he sees Qingru, he will naturally agree to this matter."

Lin Duowen said that it would be good, if Su Gongzi really met someone who really found fault, he could write to Lin Shaowen and ask Lin Shaowen to help Qingru get out of the country, and then Qingru could recognize his mother as his mother-in-law, so that no one would say anything.

Su Gongzi also had this idea in his heart, no matter what, Qingru's lowly status must be taken off, otherwise it is impossible to enter the Ruxiang Mansion.

The next day, when Lin Duowen was about to write a letter, An Gongzi came to visit, and after Lin Duowen received him at the gate, An Gongzi smiled and said: "Dingbei Hou, I don't know your identity that day, how rude it was, please forgive me." ”

Lin Duo didn't dare to hear this, and after sitting down in the living room with Gongzi An, after a few words of greeting between the two sides, Gongzi An said: "It's really the so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Dingbei Hou, this Gongzi heard that you are friendly with Su Gongzi." ”

Lin Duowen nodded and asked Gongzi An why he asked.

"To tell you the truth, I want to be a month old and connect my sister and Su Gongzi."

When Lin Duo heard this, he was taken aback, and the tea bowl he had picked up also fell on the desk, splashing the tea.

The maid on the side hurriedly dealt with it, changed the case, and then changed Lin Duowen's coat.

After Lin Duowen came back, he said to Gongzi An: "This, Gongzi An, you are one step late, this Gongzi Su already has someone he likes." ”

"Oh, I don't know which girl it is."

"This, this girl is from a civilian background."

"So that's the case, then she can also be my sister's sister and marry to the Xiangguo Mansion."

Lin Duowen didn't know what Su Gongzi meant for a while, and he didn't want to offend An Gongzi, so he didn't refuse immediately, but said to An Gongzi: "An Gongzi, did Ling Mei like Su Xianggong just because she drew a boat and played chess?" ”

An Xianggong nodded and told Lin Duowen that this is fate, it is destined by God, and he can't stop it if he wants to.

Lin Duowen said that he could only ask about this matter, and Gongzi An said thank you, and also told Lin Duowen that if he could do this, the pro-country mansion and the Xiangguo mansion would be grateful to Lin Duowen.

After Lin Duo heard this, he didn't even dare to say thank you for raising his hand.

Gongzi An didn't stay long, said a word and waited for good news and left.

And Lin Duowen immediately went to Su Gongzi's house, Su Gongzi was playing chess with Qing, Lin Duowen stepped forward and said to Su Gongzi: "Brother Su, borrow a step to speak." ”

"Haha, Brother Shi Jian, is there anything you can't say here?"

"It must be an important matter for the imperial court, Master Su, you should go."

Su Gongzi said to Qingru that he was out of company, and followed Lin Duowen to a secluded place, after Lin Duowen told the matter, Su Gongzi smiled and said: "It turns out that this is such a thing, you just refuse, although Miss An is very good, but it is not my good match, and the person I like in my life is Qingru alone." ”

"Brother Su, this matter is not simple, if their brother and sister say this matter in front of the Empress Dowager, what if the Empress Dowager summons you to go at that time?"

Su Gongzi smiled and said: "No, the Empress Dowager, I shouldn't have summoned me because of this matter, Brother Shi Jian, you just refuse directly, you don't need to be careful." ”

"Actually, Master Su, isn't this a good way, if Qingru marries as Miss An's sister, wouldn't you have less trouble."

"Shi Jian, what you said is not right, I only love one person, let me marry someone else, it is better to let me die."

"Yes, I will talk about this matter, Brother Su, don't say these unlucky words, really, I'm really afraid that this matter will end up and kill someone."

"If there is anything to do, I don't think I can live alone."

Su Gongzi's words were categorical, and after Lin Duo heard it, he even said don't be so excited, a trivial matter, there is no need to say it so unlucky.

Su Gongzi arched his hand at Lin Duowen and said, "If the An family's side is not successful, and Shi Jian is embarrassed by you, then just push this matter to me." ”

Lin Duowen said that he would handle it well, and try not to embarrass Su Gongzi.

Lin Duowen came out of here and went to An Gongzi's residence, An Gongzi was overjoyed when he saw Lin Duowen, and said to Lin Duowen: "Dingbei Hou, how is this matter?" ”

"This matter, Gongzi An, Gongzi Su is unwilling, he just wants to marry this girl."

At this time, Miss An walked out, and after saluting Lin Duowen, she asked Lin Duowen: "Dingbei Hou, what Su Gongzi likes is a Pingkang girls' school book." ”

Lin Duo was stunned for a moment and nodded, at this time Miss An sneered and said: "What can you believe in these girls' school books, they are just greedy for wealth and nobility." ”

"Miss An, Miss Qingru is not that kind of person."

"Is it that kind of person, it's not just by saying it, as long as you try it, then you can try it."

Lin Duowen asked how to try, but Miss An just smiled and asked Lin Duowen to wait and see.

Seeing that Miss An was reluctant to say more, Lin Duowen had no choice but to leave.

The next day, An Gongzi asked to see the saint, and the saint looked at An Gongzi and asked, "What's the matter, could it be that something happened to the Empress Dowager?" ”

"The Empress Dowager's side is blessed and healthy, the saint, the minister is here to ask the saint for the marriage of the sister."

"Whose son's own?"

"From the Xiangguo Mansion."

Hearing this, the saint smiled and said, "I see, what is the difficulty in this?" You don't have to hide it, if it weren't for the twists and turns, how would you have thought of letting me give me a marriage? ”

"Su Gongzi has a loved one."

"Wouldn't my marriage be a beating of mandarin ducks?"

"The woman Su Gongzi loves is a Pingkang girls' school scholar."

When the sage heard this, he touched his beard and said to Gongzi An: "Nonsense, the dignified prince of the country, he likes a girl's school book, what is the face of the court when it is passed out!" ”

An Gongzi said Wei, the sage looked at the fold, and said to the eunuch: "Let Su Yizhi come to the palace tomorrow afternoon to see me and bring his loved ones." ”

"Sage, this woman may be unlucky to enter the Forbidden Palace."

"I have my own opinions, just do it."

After the sage finished speaking, he said to An Gongzi: "I know about this matter, I will give you a satisfactory answer, and this matter, don't tell the Empress Dowager." ”

"The minister knows, the minister harasses the saint with such a trivial matter, and he really deserves death."

"Forget about death, you are all my ministers, and in the future, I will still govern and rationalize with you."

After Gongzi An went down, Concubine Ping said to the sage: "Sage, why do you need to ask about this matter. ”

"I did look at a girls' school book, what ability did I have, so that a son was fascinated, and even the daughter of the prince couldn't look at it."

Concubine Ping smiled helplessly, and at this time, the sage smiled and said, "Actually, I am ready to let the girl of the An family be the concubine." This time, it must be the girl from the An family who is making plans behind her back. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Ping smiled and said, "Who should Concubine Wen and Concubine Xian be?" ”

The sage did not answer, but told Concubine Ping, "When he comes back and goes to the Southern Capital to supervise the country, you will know." ”

"Sage, this book of four concubines, Emperor Ren once said that he wanted the world to discuss."

"This matter of deliberation is dispensable, this is a private matter of the heavenly family, and even if it is discussed together, who would dare to speak out against it?"

Concubine Ping said that this matter should be followed by this process, so as not to be criticized by the world.

The sage thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but in this case, the canonization of the crown prince will be delayed for a year." ”

"The sage is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, this prince is in charge of the country, what is the big deal in the early years and a few years later?"

The sage smiled and said to Concubine Ping: "Forget it, I still take advantage of these times to set the other second concubines." ”

"The saint is wise."

After the eunuch personally passed on the sage's message, although Su Gongzi knew in his heart that it was Gongzi An who did it, for the sake of insurance, he still asked the eunuch what was going on.

The eunuch didn't dare to offend the prince of Xiangguo, and said to Su Gongzi: "That's the case, it was Gongzi An who proposed marriage, and the sage saw everything and learned that Su Gongzi had someone you loved." That's why we will be able to pass on the decree. ”

"I see, thank you father-in-law." Su Gongzi asked people to take the silver to the eunuch, but the eunuch didn't dare to accept it, Su Gongzi smiled and said, "Father-in-law, it's just a little heart, please smile." ”

"Then it's better for our family to be respectful, in fact, the saint is not very angry, Su Gongzi, you will follow the emperor's wishes tomorrow, and this matter can be done."

Su Gongzi nodded, asked the eunuch to go back, and then looked at Qingru on the side.
