Chapter 50: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
(Collect!) Ask for recommendations! Ask for a review! )
Seeing the defeat in the first battle, how could I be willing to give up, thinking of some of the ins and outs of the matter that Guo Rong told me, I had an idea in a flash.
So he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I don't dare to ask, is it possible that this Du Gongzi and Guo Rong have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have no guesses?" Or maybe Guo Rong also has an understanding of Du Gongzi's character and temper, admires the other party very much, and has long intended to entrust him for life? ”
"If it really comes to this, then we don't have anything to say."
Guo Song smiled bitterly and said: "That's not true, Guo Rong and the third son of the Du family have never met, but they just know and hear, and they can't talk about any childhood sweethearts." ”
"But... But the matchmaker entrusted by the Du family is very familiar with Rong'er herself, which... But this can't be faked! ”
It seems that Guo Song has already guessed my mind and knows that I am going to take the method of stealing beams and changing pillars to achieve my goal, so he immediately poured a basin of cold water on me.
I was a little annoyed in my heart, although I didn't give up, but seeing that things had developed to the current situation, there was nothing I could do.
Suddenly, the air in the living room was a little frozen, and everyone silently lowered their heads to think, without a trace of human speech.
My brain was racing at high speed, and I was scrambling to figure out what to do.
It seems impossible to make the Du family resign willingly, and the method of stealing beams and changing pillars has also been recognized, and it is extremely difficult to operate.
What should I do? You can't just withdraw like that! Lian Jun and Guo Rong are so fateful!
Ay! In the blink of an eye, I suddenly remembered that Guo Song was visiting me in Ningzhou on the eighth day of the fifth month? Later, he stayed in Ningzhou for a few days, and he should not have participated in the acceptance of the Du family's dowry!
Hehe! There should still be a lot to be done in this!
Guo Song is not only the owner of Guo's village, but also the patriarch of the Guo family, and can be said to be the most authoritative person in the old Guo family!
If you discuss it with Guo Song, you can say that through Xuanfu and Guo Song, before the Du family was hired, Guo Rong had already been married to the only son of Duanzhou Tongju, and it was already decided that the appointment was made.
However, Guo Huai was hired later, and his decision obviously had no effect. Of course, in order to satisfactorily solve the current embarrassing situation, Guo Song can choose another granddaughter to marry to the Du family, so as to block the Du family's mouth.
Thinking about it, the Du family was intimidated by the power of the Xuanfu envoy and Guo Song, the strong old village owner, even if he was unwilling, he would not stubbornly insist on it.
Although the means are not very clever and the methods are not very kind, there is no good way to have the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, I was greatly relieved, and hurriedly turned to Guo Huai and asked, "Mr. Guo, may I ask when the Du family was hired?" ”
"Oh! Is this one? I remember very clearly the day of the next appointment, it was the ninth day of the first month of May, does Li Dashuai have any questions? Guo Huai asked a little strangely.
"It is the ninth day of the first month of May, and the owner of Guo Laozhai was still a guest in our Ningzhou on that day, of course, the decision to marry was not made by the owner of Guo Laozhai, if our family is hired on the eighth day of the first month of May, and it is also promised and agreed by the owner of Guo Laozhai personally, how should you choose?"
"This..., this... If we both like both, of course my father's decision will prevail. Guo Huai's eyes widened, and his expression was a little cramped and uneasy.
"In this case, we are even hired by the family first, if we also get the personal promise of the owner of Guo Laozhai, there should be no doubt that we will get the marriage of your mansion, this reason should not be difficult to understand!"
Seeing the shocked expressions of the crowd, I stopped keeping it and told my thoughts as they were. After my detailed explanation and analysis, the Guo family father and son went from being stunned to gradually understanding the clues, although they were still a little hesitant, but at present, if they want to solve this problem, it seems that there is only this way.
At that moment, we discussed the countermeasures and the rhetoric of the Du family, and asked everyone to speak in unison.
Guo Huai and his wife went to the Du family in person to explain the situation, and hoped that the Du family could understand the Guo family's difficulties, and the Guo family also welcomed the Du family to hire any other granddaughter of the Guo family.
It's not a good idea, but it's been done, and it's just the way it is.
Untied this troublesome knot, although it is not perfect, but Guo Song has also made a lot of fun about it, and immediately put on a feast to wash the dust for me and Lian Jun, which can be regarded as a gift of employment.
Guo Rong was the happiest at the whole banquet, she was as cheerful as a bird out of the cage, happily pouring wine and food around me, busy and happy, as if she wanted to release all her gratitude to me.
Lian Jun was also a little excited, this guy who had just come into contact with the taste of love finally got his wish and hugged the beauty, and he was even more proud!
But in front of his future father-in-law's family, he still seemed restrained and polite, and did not dare to show the slightest hint of arrogance.
Actually, I didn't dare to drink to my heart's content, although today through a small trick, so that Lian Jun and Guo Rong finally got what they wanted, but it also exposed my side of being good at scheming, I don't know what impression the Guo family had on me, if it affects the sincere unity in the future, it will be worth the loss.
Lian Jun and I entertained for a while, and on the grounds that Ningzhou had many affairs and needed to be dealt with urgently, we politely declined the Guo family's Yin Yin to keep them, and rushed back to Ningzhou overnight.
After a few days of busyness, according to my detailed instructions, Lin Yi and He Shoujie have basically arranged the preparations for the 'Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall', and the school site is selected in the Yuanya Soldier Training Camp in the east of the city, the ground is very spacious, and the accommodation and teaching conditions are also first-class, which is very suitable for use as a training base.
Moreover, the students selected from all over the country have already checked in in advance, just waiting for today's opening ceremony.
Today's opening ceremony is an auspicious day for the zodiac selected by Lin Yi, and he is more proficient in these Zhou Yi gossip and whatever, of course I agree without a doubt.
In order to build these cadets into the backbone of the army and use them for our use, it is necessary to carry out strong brainwashing on them, so I have already drawn up the content of the speech, and we must have a deafening effect.
Although the selection time for the first batch of students is limited, they must meet the basic conditions of good conduct, strong will, rough understanding of literature and ink, etc., and are politically reliable, excellent in quality, and tenacious in style, which is also selected by me and Qian Shitang, Jian Zheng, and Lin Yi through layers of checks.
And determined that the calm and capable Liu Huang served as the captain of the first phase of the students of the 'Yunnan Lecture Martial Hall', and also specially instructed Liu Huang in advance to take some precautions, especially in the general direction of study, we must grasp it, in principle, we must not relax, this is the necessary criterion for cultivating talents, because what he does affects other students everywhere, and only by standardizing his behavior can a large number of people follow suit.
Today, my requirements for the opening ceremony are also very high, that is, it must be huge, it must be grand and warm, and it must always reflect the importance and status of the 'Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall', so that every student who enters the 'Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall' feels extremely glorious and sacred, and enhance their sense of mission and responsibility.
So I asked Lin Yi and He Shoujie to personally grasp the arrangement of the opening ceremony and make sure to meet my requirements.
As soon as the hour came, I led all the important officials in Ningzhou to set off from the Xuanfu Embassy, beating gongs and drums, lining up a mighty guard of honor, dragging a long procession, and rushing to the location of the Yunnan Lecture Hall in the east of the city.
