Chapter 136: Chahan's Wedding
Wen Xuan didn't get angry because of Sheng Wenyu's accusation, but comforted him with a smile: "Brother Sheng's anger, Brother Fang's subordinates are now gathering a large number of experienced water masters, and they will be able to successfully complete the plan by fighting, and the capture of virtue will be real!" β
"You just believe in him like that?" Sheng Wen said gloomily.
Wen Xuan smiled indifferently, pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "No, I believe in my own vision." β
"I'll see."
After the angry Sheng Wenyu finished speaking, he pushed the door and left, but unexpectedly bumped into Fang Guozhen who was waiting outside the door, only snorted coldly at him, and walked away quickly without even saying hello.
Fang Guozhen, who was about to visit Wen Xuan, shook his head helplessly, walked in slowly, and bowed to Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Sheng is such a hot and straightforward character, don't be surprised." β
Fang Guozhen said: "It is a great blessing that Fang can be appreciated by the Duke of En, and it is reasonable for his brother to be a little blushing. β
Wen Xuan said lightly: "Brother Sheng has always respected the strong, he is the youngest elder of the Ming Sect, and he is famous for his high spirits, but he is straightforward and straightforward, as long as you fight this battle beautifully, he will definitely not have more rights and wrongs because of this." β
Fang Guozhen knew that this was Wen Xuan's intention to make himself powerful in front of everyone, and he was extremely grateful, "Rest assured, Fang will definitely capture the thousand households of Haidao who are powerful and prosperous on weekdays, so that all the brothers will know that you are not wrong!" β
Wen Xuan smiled and nodded, it was not a good thing to be able to inspire Fang Guozhen with Sheng Wenyu's opposing voice.
"The injuries on my body are no longer serious, you have been working a lot in recent days, go back and rest early, you don't have to come to see me every day."
Fang Guozhen bowed his head, and nodded to Mu Chong again, before bowing and retreating.
After everyone left, Mu Chong sat on Wen Xuan's couch and said with a wry smile: "It's no wonder that Sheng Wenyu tastes it in his heart, even I don't know why you favor this Fang Guozhen." β
Wen Xuan didn't know how to explain this, so he could only laugh and pretend to be mysterious.
Mu Chong rolled his eyes helplessly when he saw his smiling appearance, and he didn't have the patience to guess his thoughts, so he took out the iron gun in the corner alone and walked to the courtyard to practice marksmanship......
Fang Guozhen didn't dare to slack off under heavy pressure, and the most he did every day was to stare at the topographic map of the coastal area of Taizhou and think about it, and he lay on the table day and night to deploy the matter of robbing grain, and secretly determined to let Sheng Wenyu and others see his ability.
The island was busy planning to grab food, and Su Sheng, who personally led the night shadow to inquire about the situation on Wenzhou Road, was not idle.
Whenever he found the clues left by Wang Fuzhi or heard what the Yuan soldiers were doing, he would immediately send the shadow guard to send the detailed information to Sanssouci Island for Wen Xuan to read.
Right now, Wen Xuan held a secret letter he had sent about Kang Liwei in his hand.
"What did the letter say this time?" Mu Chong saw that Wen Xuan could see his mind and asked from the side.
Wen Xuan sighed inaudibly, slowly put down the secret letter in his hand, and said in a low voice: "This prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province has had a happy event in his family recently. β
Mu Chong quipped: "What kind of happy event? Could it be that she has a new concubine? β
Wen Xuan shook his head, "The letter said that Kang Liwei found a son-in-law for his only daughter, and the marriage date will be in three days. β
Mu Chong was a little stunned and said, "Kang Liwei's only daughter...... Could it be the Kang Li Anning who was robbed by us at the Lingyin Temple Festival? β
"Not only that, but the fiancΓ© who entered into her engagement is also an old acquaintance of ours."
"Old acquaintances?" Mu Chong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It can't be Li Chahan, right?" β
Wen Xuan recalled the helpless girl in the inn who had been disfigured, and sighed, "It's him." β
"Three days later? That's too sudden, isn't it? β
Wen Xuan analyzed: "Kang Liwei originally admired Richard Han very much, promoted him repeatedly, and happened to have no children under his knees, and now he married his only daughter to him, eighty percent of them saw Richard's talents, and wanted to tie this potential young man firmly to himself." β
"And this time, Kang Liwei seems to have made a bloody investment, and spent a lot of money to help Li Chahan get through the relationship in the Yuan court, buy an official position, and let him be among the cowards, and go to Dadu to experience in this capacity."
Mu Chong sighed with some pity: "Pity this peaceful girl, unfortunately her appearance was ruined, and now she is going to be used as a political victim by her most trusted father." But Richard's departure is a good thing for us. β
Wen Xuan nodded, Li Chahan, who was able to write and martial arts, had indeed caused him a lot of trouble, and without his assistance, it would be easier for him to act.
"Tell Fang Guozhen that the matter of robbing grain is not in a hurry at this time, just in case, and wait for Li Chahan to leave Jiangsu and Zhejiang before doing it."
Wen Xuan and others were dormant, and the marriage between Richard Han and Kang Li Anning was also carried out as scheduled.
In order to curry favor with Kang Liwei and Li Chahan, who was about to enter the imperial court, the local officials arranged the streets and alleys of Hangzhou City to be festive and lively, and the lights were everywhere, making it look like they were happy with the people.
At Richard's suggestion, the marriage between the two was carried out in accordance with Han Chinese customs, so as to better win the hearts of the people for Kang Lilai.
Although the preparations were hurried, there was no shortage of six rites for Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person, and the people of the south were quite appreciative of it.
Kang Liwei is indeed quite brainy in political affairs, not only in the Ming to rectify the rule of officials, punish corruption, but also take out private wealth to repair the famous Taoist temples and social science schools everywhere, for a while the people and literati in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all admired this prime minister, called him "Kang Li Gong".
Hangzhou got married, and Sainchida, who was cut off by Wen Xuan, was naturally invited to come as Richard's brother-in-law, but the right sleeve was already empty, and there was no longer the original look in his eyes.
Kang Li Anning under the red hijab was expressionless, but in a congratulatory voice, he followed the prompts of the maid next to him to do his part, and after worshipping heaven and earth, he was sent to the cave room.
Although Richard Han also thought that this marriage was in a hurry, he did not dare to refuse Kang Liwei's kindness.
After all, for him, it is his lifelong ambition to help the current situation and serve the country and the people, and he does not take the love of his children to heart at all.
Therefore, when Kang Lilai mentioned that his daughter had a terrible scar on her face, he said on the spot that he did not mind and readily agreed.
Kang Liwei became more and more satisfied with him because of this, regarded him as his own heir, and personally took him to get acquainted with the dignitaries who came to congratulate him one by one.
