Chapter 40: The Seven Princes' Perfect Strategy
Tonggu came to the front yard, and the people of the spoon temple had been waiting for a long time, only to see the door of the hall in the front yard pacing back and forth. Lei Taolu and Zhao also knelt for a while, beating their legs with their hands.
"Yo, three girls, you can count it, let our family wait." The people of the Spoon Temple smiled, but there was a slight reproach in their words.
Tonggu knelt behind Lei Taolu and said, "There is Lord Lao Lao." ”
Seeing that Tonggu was kneeling, the people of the Spoon Temple went straight to the topic and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhao said." The county lord of Pingqiao, upright and prudent, respectful and sensitive, to be in the year of Lu, when the marriage is appropriate, when the sage and match, give the marriage of the seventh prince Shi Yutang, choose a good day to complete the marriage. Chin this. After reading it, the people of the Spoon Temple handed the decree to Tonggu, "Three girls, please take it." ”
Lei Taolu and Zhao's hearts were cold, their legs were paralyzed, and they sat directly on the ground. When I thought of the marriage that I had promised to the fourth prince, I couldn't help but feel cold. The two collapsed on the ground and looked at each other for a long time, wanting to speak and then stopping.
Tonggu was a little puzzled by the sudden marriage, and after receiving the holy decree, he asked: "Lord Spoon, you and I are old acquaintances, you have to tell me the truth about this junior, what is going on with this marriage?" Tonggu said as he stuffed a string of jade Buddha beads to the people of the Spoon Temple.
The people of the spoon temple are old people in the palace and have seen a lot of good things, but it is the first time to see such a good jade bead, and their eyes have lit up unconsciously. Immediately, he quickly stuffed the beads into the hidden pocket that was close to his body. "The girl is so polite, our family does know a little bit about it. His Royal Highness Seventh hurriedly entered the palace the last time, and chatted privately with His Majesty in the palace for a long time, and everyone in the palace was sent out, and our family only heard a few words at the door. Our family thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh has been in love with the girl for a long time, and has always had the desire to marry, but it is because the girl is only in the prime of life that it has been postponed. Three girls, we shouldn't say something, although you are beautiful, you can be born out of phase, and Your Majesty has a bad idea about it. If the Seventh Highness only asks for a side room for you, it would be fine, but His Highness is asking for the position of the main room. Let's talk about arrogance, His Majesty's favor for the Seventh Highness is actually far greater than that of the Third Highness. Therefore, this marriage contract was not easy to come by. ”
Tonggu leaned in and said, "Lord Spoon, please help me bring a message to Your Majesty, this marriage contract courtier is unwilling to accept it." The courtiers are still three years away from the year of Jilu, and there is still room for change in this matter. ”
The people of the Spoon Temple were taken aback, looked at Tonggu with wide eyes, and said, "Three girls, this is marrying into the royal family, and the future is limitless." If other girls get this good thing, I'm afraid that they can't sleep happily for a few days, why do you still push it out? ”
Tong Gu Han said with a smile: "The minister's daughter made a vow that she would not marry in this life, so please help with this matter." ”
The people of the Spoon Temple shook their heads and sighed: "The three girls have always been generous to our family, and our family is grateful. Today, I will say something out of sight, the three girls should think about it again, don't miss the opportunity. ”
"Thank you, Lord Spoon, but the courtiers have made up their minds on this matter, and please fulfill it." Tongya replied firmly.
The people of the Spoon Temple shook their heads and sighed, "Okay, let's just do our best." ”
After the people of the Spoon Temple left the Lei Mansion, Lei Taolutian shamelessly pulled Tonggu and said, "Good girl, beloved daughter." This marriage is a holy decree, and it must not be disobeyed. But how should the Fourth Highness explain it? You have to help your father in this. ”
Tonggu sneered: "Lord Lei, what did you think when you received the gift?" Did you ask me if I wanted to? Do you think that the words of the matchmaker of my parents will work for me? Put away your face and find a way to explain. Tonggu shook off Lei Taolu and left directly.
Lei Taolu glared at Zhao fiercely and said, "You ignorant woman, how are you doing now?" If you don't settle this matter, you don't have to be in charge of this house. ”
Zhao looked dazed, and stood in the front yard in a daze.
The next day, Shang Yishe came to the Seven Princes' Mansion angrily. Everyone knew that His Royal Highness was friendly with Lord Shang, so that no one dared to stop Shang Yishe.
"Shi Yutang, what do you mean by this?" Shang Yishe stared at the Seventh Prince with a pair of narrow eyes.
The Seventh Prince sat down slowly and said, "Brother Shang, don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”
Shang Yishe roared like thunder: "Why did you ask Your Majesty to marry you and Tonggu? You know my feelings for Tonggu. ”
The Seventh Prince raised his fox eyes and said with a firm expression: "First, the fourth brother is going to be hired to the Lei Mansion, and Lord Lei has a clear attitude that he wants to marry Tonggu to the fourth brother." If this dowry is accepted, there is no room for return. I can only ask my father to marry before the dowry, only the marriage is irreversible, this is my perfect strategy. Second, I also really love Tonggu, I don't think you don't know. Tonggu is still three years away from Jilu, and during this time, you and I will compete fairly. If Tonggu chooses you, I will find a way to cancel this marriage contract and fulfill you. If Tonggu chooses me, I think you will also want Tonggu to be happy as I do. ”
Shang Yishe sat on the chair, and was stunned for a while and said: "You and I have been brothers for many years, although we are not related by blood, but we are better than brothers. As long as Tonggu can be happy and happy, I am also willing to fulfill it. But what if she doesn't choose anyone at that time? ”
"I'm not going to force it." The Seven Princes replied categorically.
There was chaos in the courtyard at this time, and everyone was happy about their girl's marriage contract, and they felt that they were following the right master. But Tonggu couldn't be happy, and sat in the room in a daze.
Lingxu walked into the room with tea and said, "Girl, but it's because of the marriage contract?" ”
Tonggu sighed deeply and said: "I'm thinking about how to pull the eldest prince off the horse, now that I know that the fourth prince is the eldest prince, then I should start with the fourth prince first." ”
Lingxu's expression paused for a moment and said, "Isn't the girl worried about the marriage?" ”
Tonggu picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip and said, "Don't worry, it will take three years." Now it is the side of the four princes who are imminent. ”
"Three girls, Lord Shang wants to see the girl, and she is already in the front hall." Zhu Tao knocked on the door and said outside the door.
"Okay, I got it." Tonggu answered. Ever since Tonggu transferred the secret guard from the Killing Pavilion, Shang Yishe hadn't sneaked in late at night. If Tonggu doesn't agree, Shang Yishe won't be able to sneak in. But the Sogdians praised this and felt that Tonggu had done the right thing. Ever since the Sogdian knew that Tonggu had brought space, he always hid in the space to enjoy modern life, and Tonggu didn't bother to care about him, so he went with him.
A trace of sadness flashed in Shang Yishe's narrow eyes, and he saw Tonggu walking towards him, and his heart was mixed. "Are you okay?"
Tonggu tilted his head and looked at Shang Yishe, and said with a puzzled expression: "How could I be bad?" What's wrong with you today? It feels weird. ”
Shang Yi is dressed in a dark robe, and the person who reflects is more handsome and elegant, just like when he first met Tonggu. Shang Yishe stretched out his hand to hug Tonggu, a trace of autumn water appeared in his long narrow eyes, and said to Tonggu in his arms in a low voice: "If you really like Shiyutang, I will fulfill you." Do you like him? ”
Tonggu pushed away the Shangyi House, and said with a puzzled face: "I don't have a relationship between men and women for Brother Shi, how can I fulfill it?" I only treat him as a brother, don't mess with the mandarin duck score. ”
Shang Yishe suddenly laughed, smiling brightly like a child. "Really? Great, then I'm relieved. As long as you don't want to marry him, I will take you out of here, and I can give up all the glory and wealth and wander the world with you. Just to bloom with you and cover a piece of green tile. ”
Tonggu pursed his lips and said, "I am also a brotherhood to you, don't talk about these fleshy things." I just want to avenge my deceased mother now, and I won't think about anything else. ”
Shang Yishe started the dead skin and face mode again, and leaned next to Tonggu and said, "It's okay, stinky girl, let's come to Japan for a long time." Sincerely, I feel that we are a destined pair. ”
Tonggu snorted and said, "Don't come to this set, let's talk about something serious." I can already confirm that the fourth prince is the person of the eldest prince, and this is the whereabouts of the money. Previously, you investigated and said that the money of the Treasure Pavilion was sent out of the city, and this money must have gone to the hands of the eldest prince. What do you think he's asking for so much money for? ”
"Could it be that the soldiers and horses seized the throne?" Shang Yishe gasped.
Tonggu nodded in agreement and said: "I think so too, but the control of soldiers and horses in Yuguo is very strict, where can he go to train soldiers?" ”
"You're not going to do something dangerous again, are you?" Shang Yishe's narrow eyes suddenly became stern.
Tonggu Thief smiled and said, "I plan to start with the Four Princes. ”
"No, I don't agree, you can't be in danger anymore. After the fourth prince came to Lei Mansion to marry you, Diao Shuhua also disappeared, which is very strange. Me and the Seventh Prince have not found any trace of Diao Shuhua until now, so you don't have to act rashly. Shang Yishe tried his best to persuade Tonggu.
Tonggu said in a flat and emotionless tone, "She was killed by me. ”
"It's even worse if Diao Shuhua is dead." Shang Yishe paused and continued, "What? You said Diao Shuhua was killed by you? ”
Tonggu hurriedly covered Shang Yishe's mouth and said, "Are you afraid that others won't know?" Say it so loudly. ”
Shang Yishe's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to go to the Seventh Prince to discuss and tell the Seventh Prince about Diao Shuhua's death. Tonggu took advantage of the night to leave the mansion from the small door and took the carriage to the Four Princes' Mansion. The old official's wife personally went out to greet her and brought Tonggu to the meeting room.
Tonggu Shili said: "I have seen the Four Highnesses. ”
The four princes gave a little help and motioned for Tonggu to sit down. "The noon girl sent a greeting post really surprised the palace, and it's a pity that you and I couldn't get married, I don't know what advice the three girls came to come late at night?"
Tonggu smiled evilly and said, "Fourth Highness, you and I don't say secret words. You came to the Lei Mansion to ask for relatives only at the behest of His Highness, and your purpose is just wealth in my hands. You've been looking for my treasure depository, haven't you just wanted to take possession of it? ”
The eyes of the four princes narrowed slightly, and their bodies had begun to accumulate strength, and the witchcraft was ready to be sent out at any time. "I don't understand what the three girls said."
Tonggu saw that the four princes had murderous intentions, and his body began to run, but his face still looked indifferent. "Why should the Fourth Highness pretend to be stupid? Your Highness will find someone to kill me, but before killing me, you must first take the treasure, and you can only let you take me into the mansion, and the best way is to marry back to the mansion. You have enough money to give me the place of the main room. ”
The four princes suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Tonggu, who also jumped behind him at the same time.
