(242) Flowers bloom and two lives are not destined (16)
Today, Lord Ge of Gefu suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that yesterday, the former prime minister Shen Qingzhi and Shen Gongzi and the current temporary prime minister He Qiong and Lord He were drinking and listening to music all night on the Yuehuai River.
There are countless beauties on the painting boat, and the singers and dancers who enter and leave their rooms are even more graceful and charming.
Silk and bamboo curl, thin clothes light gauze.
"When did they leave the boat?" Ge Zhong asked with a frown.
The subordinate thought for a while and replied, "Shen Gongzi left and right when he was in the middle of the day, Lord He...... He didn't leave all night. ”
"This bastard!" Ge Chong patted the armrest and stood up.
It is said that he is young and romantic, and the beauty is difficult to give up, and he is not unyoung, but his daughter was suddenly robbed when she was young, and her mind is already sensitive...... How will we live the days after this?
"I think it must be because Brother He couldn't bear the little girl's loneliness in the second half of her life, so he forced the virtuous nephew to come to the door to ask for marriage...... Ge Chong suddenly sighed.
Anyway, Cai Mansion and Ge Mansion are close to each other, and he and his wife often go to Cai Mansion to visit their daughter, and it is not impossible for her to keep an eye on her son-in-law.
"You go to the treasury, count all the dowry gifts sent by Qiong'er, and quietly return them to him at night, remember, don't do it, it's best to be unaware." Ge Zhong thought about it again and again, but still made a decision.
"Yes."
's own daughter, she knows that Yi Rong'er's character of admitting death, except for Cai Yu, she must not want to marry someone else.
"Also, I went to ask the master of Cai's Mansion to come over, and I told him about yesterday's incident, and the old man agreed."
When the servant heard this, he hurried away.
Inevitably, there would be some chaos halfway, Ge Chong thought about it, and decided to meet his little girl.
"The young lady is playing the piano in the piano pavilion, and the master comes with the slave maid." Ge Xinrong's personal maid Lan'er bowed to Ge Zhong slightly, and then led Ge Zhong to the attic with the hem of her skirt.
The sound of the piano in the attic is intermittent, not real, nor soft, and the tactful and indelible sound seems to be the heart of the daughter's family, entwined, the more you can't let go, the more bitter it is.
"Rong'er......" Ge Zhong couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, and interrupted her piano sound.
Ge Xinrong didn't expect Ge Chong to come to see her at this time, so she hurriedly left the piano case and bowed her head to Ge Chong.
"Daddy."
In order not to let his daughter see his strange appearance, Ge Zhong immediately turned away and endured the slight sourness in his eyes.
"Rong'er, did your mother come to see you today?" He casually found a topic and chatted with Ge Xinrong.
Ge Xinrong felt that today's father was a little different from usual, but where it was, she couldn't say at once, so she could only respond, "Yes, my mother came here an hour, and she gave her daughter some osmanthus cakes." ”
"Well," Ge nodded and then asked her with some hesitation, "Your mother, ...... Didn't tell you anything? ”
Ge Xinrong is very sure that her father must have something on his mind before he comes to her.
"Daddy, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it, daughter...... I'll listen carefully. ”
Ge Zhong was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately turned red.
With such a well-behaved and intelligent daughter, how could he be willing to marry her off?
Everyone said that his daughter was a "scar girl" and a "saltless woman", but how did they know that this was the most precious thing about his daughter.
No complaints, no sorrows, always full of infinite hope for the future.
"Daughter, yesterday the He family came to propose."
Ge Xinrong was stunned.
"Do you want to ......?"
"Daddy knows what his daughter has been thinking all along," Ge Xinrong suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Ge Important's words, "Even if my daughter becomes a nun and is accompanied by the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, she will never change her mind." ”
"The Father knows, the Father knows, and the Father does not consent." Ge Zhong was afraid that Xinrong would think of "being ugly and disliked" on the crooked road, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Uncle Cai also came yesterday to discuss your marriage." ”
Ge Xinrong was surprised: "Brother Yu is willing to marry me?" ”
Ge Chong's eyes dodged.
Ge Xinrong understood: "You are the one who wants to force him to marry me." ”
"Rong'er, between husband and wife, it is common for a long time to fall in love, and he may not like you." Ge Zhong panicked in his heart, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
Ge Xinrong smiled and said softly, "Daddy, you don't always have to take care of your daughter's feelings like this, your daughter doesn't care about this, if it's ......"
Her eyes dimmed, and Ge Xinrong lowered her head, "If Brother Yu really doesn't want to, let him go to the girl he likes, his daughter doesn't want to tie him up in such pain, it's not good for him or his daughter." ”
Ge Zhong looked at such a sensible daughter, his heart ached, he didn't want to stay here any longer, and told her to take good care of her body, and after going out and walking around, he went out of the Qin Pavilion.
"Rong'er, my father will definitely send your sweetheart to you."
No matter what method is used.
Following. No. 3 Chinese Network
Pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and flowers and birds, white mist tea fragrance dots, waterfalls hang in the nine days, soft light and white clouds, water vapor spreads, entangled, dream-like fairy building.
I poured two cups of tea and sat down waiting for the incoming guests.
"Childe, Master Ge has arrived." Sun Hu came to report.
"Yes, please."
"Yes."
Sun Hu retreated, and after a while, he came over with Ge Chong.
"Xia Guan has seen Lord Shen Xiang." Ge Zhong lifted his clothes and bowed respectfully to me.
I was startled and quickly got up to help him.
"Master Ge, what are you doing here?"
"Lord Shen Xiang," Ge Zhong refused to get up, "Xiaguan wants to ask you for something." ”
Seeing this, I smiled and asked, "Lord Ge, is it still for the sake of love?" ”
Ge Zhong knew that his mind could not be hidden from me, and he even had the illusion that I had arranged all this, and that he had just come to this point according to my thoughts.
But no matter what the truth is, he has to ask for this guarantee for Rong'er today.
"The wedding date of Rong'er and Cai Yu has been set, just next month, but Xiaguan is still worried that something will happen halfway, so Xiaguan wants to implore the adult to ask the emperor for a marriage decree."
"Divine decree?" I raised my eyebrows: "Lord Ge, this is afraid that Brother Cai will run away from marriage." ”
Ge Zhong smiled helplessly, "My lord and Cai Yu have also been classmates for several years, you should know his temperament, if you say that you are running away from marriage...... It's not impossible. ”
I groaned, but still bent down and used dexterity to help Ge Zhong up.
"Master Ge, please sit down first, have a cup of tea to calm down the fire in your heart, this matter is not impossible to discuss." I smiled and pushed the teacup in front of him.
Ge Zhong saw that I was relieved, and knew that this matter was already half decided, so he didn't embarrass me anymore and sat down.
"I hope the Prime Minister can help." Ge Zhong looked at me solemnly, the tea cup in his hand was slightly raised, and the blue waves were slightly floating.
I didn't pick up the teacup, but hesitated a little, "You know, I'm a cloth cloth now, how can I ask the emperor for this marriage decree?" ”
"Besides," I raised my eyes to look at him, leaning back slightly, "Lord Ge, you also have a pivotal position in the court, it shouldn't be difficult to ask the emperor for such a holy decree, right?" ”
Ge Chong's expression turned his head in a complicated manner, and his heart was entangled for a long time before he spoke, "Shen Xiang, don't bury Xia Guan, how much weight can Xia Guan's old bones have?" It's just barely moving. ”
I chuckled softly.
"Is Lord Ge still taboo about that incident ten years ago?"
Ge Chong's body stiffened.
"The emperor is the monarch of the Holy Ming, within the four seas, in the heaven and the earth, he can tolerate it, why does Lord Ge need to be so cautious and walk on thin ice?" I picked up the teacup, gestured to him, and took a sip of tea.
Seeing this, Ge Zhong secretly took a deep breath.
Pressing step by step like this, he really threw himself into the net.
"Back then, the lower officials voted under King Chen and did a lot of 'shouldn't do' things, and now the emperor can leave the official's life, which is already the emperor's grace." Ge Zhong sighed, "Besides, the matter of marriage is mostly due to the marriage of the royal family, or ministers who have worked hard and made high achievements, like Cai Yu, how can they ask for a meritorious service?" Xia Guan really has no other way, so I came to beg your lord, I hope that my lord can sympathize with Xia Guan's love for his daughter, and ask for a favor for Xia Guan. ”
Ge Chong's expression was heavy, his face was sad and hateful, and his words and feelings were all moving.
My heart softened.
"Well, I'll do my best."
"Thank you, sir."
"It's just ......," I paused.
Ge Zhong understood what I meant, he put down the teacup, and made up his mind and said, "The Prime Minister wants to do what the officials want to do in the future, and the officials will never dare to shirk the slightest. ”
"Oh, Lord Ge, what you said is serious." I was shocked and frightened, "Although I am only a cloth cloth now, I still understand the rules of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and it is a big taboo to form gangs and collude with friends." ”
Ge Zhong smiled faintly, "The Prime Minister has always been the emperor's confidant and beloved minister, and everything he does is naturally based on the emperor's order, and the lower officials don't think that this is 'forming a gang and colluding with friends'." ”
"Okay," I stroked my palms and laughed, "That's right, Lord Ge is really a person who has been up and down in the sea for many years, and Shen admires it." ”
I raised my hand and asked Sun Hu to pour some tea into Ge Chong and my teacup.
"Lord Ge, let's drink this cup together, it can be regarded as for the emperor we jointly assist, and for the foundation of Daqin for thousands of years." I raise my glass.
Ge Zhong seemed to be moved by what I said, a little bit of the pride of his family and country that has been sealed in his heart for many years, he also raised his glass, and sighed while laughing, "Qin Guo has a prime minister like you, and he should be able to open the peace of eternity." ”
I raised my eyes slightly, and my face seemed to be smiling and self-deprecating.
If it is not broken, it will not stand, there will be no war, and there will be no peace, and how many bones should be piled up in this peace and tranquility under the eternal world?
I'm afraid even God doesn't know.
