(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Ma Wei didn't go out for several days, stayed at home honestly, rarely drank, held a book, looked at it for several hours, but barely turned the page, the white paper and black words in his eyes, like a team of neatly arranged soldiers, swords out of sheaths, guns and axes, people dare not look directly, but dare not look away.

Lou Ji was a frequent visitor to the Ma Mansion, and was taken directly into the study by the servant without notice, and when he entered the house, Ma Wei was still confronting those malicious words, and did not notice the arrival of the guests.

Lou Ji had to step forward and take the book out of Ma Wei's hand.

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and instantly returned to normal, "I was upset after I got up today, and I knew you were coming." ”

"Brother Ma thinks I'm going to bring bad news?"

"No matter what news you bring to the table, it's not easy."

The two laughed, sat down on the floor, and recounted the news they had heard from the third brother.

Ma Wei listened quite carefully, "I can't imagine that the emperor still has such preferences - but he is brewing a big plan, and he still has the mood and courage to leave the palace?" I've been thinking about Taifu Liang's blocking the road and forcibly admonishing him, and I feel that the emperor is pushing the boat along the river, he knows the danger, and he doesn't want to patrol the eastern capital at night at all. ”

Lou Ji shook his head, "The emperor is proud of his intelligence and strength, and the more crises there are, the more he must continue to show calm, and at the same time he can confuse his opponent." ”

"Hehe, my brother knows more and more about the emperor."

"There are some."

"The emperor was too careless to let the news reach Brother Ling's ears."

"I understood what Brother Ma meant, so I asked a few more words. The emperor also knew that he had a bad reputation, so every time he went out of the palace, he had to be suspicious, and there were people in the three small harems, dressed in the same way, and they were not allowed to light the lamps, and often even the guards did not know who they were protecting. The women in the house are changed at any time, and very few people are favored by the emperor for the second time. ”

Ma Wei said with a smile: "He is worthy of being the emperor, and he wants to take the people of the world as slaves and concubines." ”

"What does Brother Ma think? I think it's a great opportunity. ”

"Have you found out about the three locations?"

"Before coming here, I went to visit a circle: the back street of the General's Mansion of the Chinese Army entered from the west exit, and there were three uninhabited houses in a row, which should be one; Emperor Yingguo opened the back garden of the mansion, there is an empty alley outside the door, there are no other houses, it should be the second place; Shao Junqian's home can be compared to the prince's mansion, this is this place, I can't guess the specific entrance and exit, it is definitely not the main entrance. ”

Ma Wei nodded lightly and stood up suddenly, "Since there is still a free body, it is better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death." I've come to find someone to keep an eye on all three places, and if we're lucky, we'll all survive. ”

"Be careful when looking for someone."

"Hong Daohui was actually found by Guo Shifeng, I will not pretend to others this time, I personally selected, there are many people in the five countries in Beijing, and there are quite a few people with generous intentions who are willing to serve me."

Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "It's all up to Brother Ma." ”

"If this is the emperor's trick to lure the troops, the three 'harems' are all suspicious......"

"Only life and death are shared."

Ma Wei also said: "Life and death are shared. When he was about to send off the guests, he said: "Brother Brother has thought clearly, I am alone, no father and no brother, wives can be abandoned, there are many children and grandchildren of the Lou family, and Brother Brother is about to marry the daughter of the King of Jibei, and the future is bright, which is very different from the people of the five countries who were banned." ”

"Brother Ma heard that I am going to get married?"

"Hehe, the whole Luoyang has spread, and there are even rumors that after getting married, the younger brother will be appointed as a high-ranking official by the imperial court."

"They don't know what a confined body is?"

"Ordinary people who care about this? Even if I heard about it, I thought that the lifting of the confinement was just a matter of the emperor's words. ”

Lou Ji smiled, indeed, except for people who are imprisoned, who cares about this kind of thing?

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I decided to stab the driver, partly for the sake of the Lou family. His Majesty wants to get rid of the general no matter what, and the assassination is not the reason. ”

Ma Wei sent it to the gate and said loudly in front of the servants: "There is an invitation from Brother Lao, and on the day you get married, you will go to the house to ask for a cup of wine." ”

"I'm looking forward to it, Brother Ma stays, I'm going to Jibei Palace, and I won't drink and talk with Brother Ma today."

Lou Ji is indeed going to go to the palace of the king of Jibei, which is his official excuse to leave the imperial city today.

After leaving the Ma Mansion, he went back to the General's Mansion first, the seventh brother Lou Shuo had already prepared the dowry gift, which was carried by dozens of people, and he had been waiting in a hurry, but he did not show his dissatisfaction as before, but greeted him with a smile, "Seventeenth brother, you are really not in a hurry." ”

"Something was delayed for a while." Lou Ji said vaguely, immediately changed clothes, rode a horse, and went to the Jibei Mansion with Seventh Brother.

There is an embarrassing place in the marriage of the two families, according to Mrs. Lan's calculations, Lou Ji and the King of Jibei are considered equals, one generation higher than their future wives, and this kind of thing should have been done by the elders, but it is not good to be higher than the King of Jibei, so they have to be handled by Lou Shuo, the seventh son of the general.

Lou Shuo is very willing, for this appointment, the general has just asked him for an idle official, although he has no real power, at least the grade is not low, and he can show off.

The Jibei Wangfu side is also ready, and the greeters line up at the street corner.

The king of Jibei was in charge of the imperial city guards, and he couldn't get out easily, so the prince Zhang Shiyu and the prince Shi performed the etiquette.

Zhang Shiyu was the happiest, and after the ceremony was completed, he strongly invited Lou Ji and Lou Shuo to stay and drink, "From now on, we will be a family." ”

Zhang Shiyu was used to indulgence, when his father first returned to Beijing, he restrained himself for a few days, and at the first opportunity, he reverted to his old ways, ordered a banquet in the side hall, and then found an excuse to take away the officials around his father, leaving only the Lou brothers and a few close cousins, and indulged in drinking and carnival.

"It's a pity that Duan Shizi is not here, so it's a little less lively." After Zhang Shiyu was half-drunk, he missed his friends.

"Even if Duan Shizi returns, he won't be at ease, King Guangling is looking at him." Another humane.

Lou Shuo participated in this banquet for the first time, he was careful at first, and after drinking too much, he was more open than Lou Ji, and he drank with every child of the clan, and soon he could be called a brother, but Lou Ji was left out in the cold.

A middle-aged woman came in, frowning and shaking her head.

Lou Ji was the first to see her, and immediately got up, not knowing what to call her, seeing that she was dressed like a maid, but her demeanor was like a person in charge of the house.

The woman saluted to the foundation of the building, and then said to Zhang Shiyu: "Shizi, Shizi!" ”

Zhang Shiyu finally reacted, got up in a hurry, tried to control it, but couldn't help but sway, and said with a smile: "Is my mother looking for me?" Please tell my mother that I am acting as my brother-in-law, and I will be ...... later. I'll see her later. ”

"The princess wants to see the seventeenth prince of Lou."

"Okay, brother-in-law, you go, I won't accompany you, I still need to take care of you here." Zhang Shiyu was full of wine, and a few horses couldn't pull away.

The woman shook her head again, stopped talking, and smiled at the building, "Please come with me." ”

The woman was first, the building was second, and there were several young maids waiting outside the hall, and the building was a little nervous, and she was careful every step of the way, her eyes were slightly down, and she didn't dare to move a bit.

From the side hall to the back house, you have to pass through a small garden, and as you are walking, the guide in front of you suddenly stops, and the building can only stop, and quickly glances up, and finds six young girls blocking the road.

The six girls are not very old, between the ages of thirteen or fourteen and sixteen or seventeen, it is when ordinary girls know how to avoid suspicion, but they stand in a row, blocking the road, not to mention, and they are all frosty, and the momentum is compelling.

Lou Ji recognized that the youngest two were the daughters of the King of Jibei, and the other four were also a little kind-hearted, and they should have seen them in the Guangling Palace.

The middle-aged woman smiled, "What is this for?" You are all daughters of the Wang family, and you have the title of county lord on your head, and if you don't have it, you will have ...... in the future."

A woman said coldly: "Aunt Mei, you get out of the way, we have to talk to Lou Seventeen." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, not daring to offend them, and moved out of the way, and glanced at one of the maids, telling her to go behind and inform the princess.

Lou Ji arched his hand and said, "What do you think about the younger sisters?" ”

"We're not your sisters." The eldest girl stepped forward and said, "Let's say one thing: you are not allowed to marry Sister Shiqing." ”

Lou Ji read the letter of appointment, the person he wanted to marry was named "Zhang Shiqing", his eyes turned to the two youngest daughters, I don't know which one is the fiancée, when he was drinking at the post station, Zhang Shiyu introduced it vaguely, and he didn't remember any of them.

"Don't let you see." The two women who were watching shouted at the same time.

Lou Ji suddenly remembered, "That night is your boat visit to return to the garden......

The older girl said: "That's right, it's just a few of us, you are too boring, we said okay, no one will marry you." ”

"I ...... Speechless. Lou Ji really has nothing to say, the marriage is not what he wants, nor is it set by him, and there is no choice from beginning to end.

"You go to see the Queen Mother, put down this family business, and let the Queen Mother choose another person for you." One of the daughters of the king of Jibei said, I don't know if it is Zhang Shiqing.

"I can't see the Queen Mother." Lou Ji was embarrassed and looked at the middle-aged woman, who smiled at him and shook her head, not knowing what she meant.

"Then you write a letter of repentance, and we will take it to the Queen Mother."

"This matter needs to be decided by my father and brother, I ......"

"If you don't want to marry, can the general force you to die?" A woman said.

The middle girl said in a slightly slower tone, "Actually, you don't have to marry Sister Shiqing at all, someone is willing to marry you, and she is also the princess and the county lord." ”

Lou Ji's heart moved.

The sixth daughter continued to coerce and seduc, and the princess came, her footsteps did not stop, and she reprimanded: "Presumptuous, what a girl, don't you know how to be hospitable, and don't you have a little shame?" ”

The two daughters of the king of Jibei pounced on the princess, hugged their mother and cried, saying that they didn't want to marry a boring person, but in fact, they only married one, and they didn't know what the other was crying about.

The princess was distressed and annoyed, and said to the middle-aged woman: "You just look at them like this? ”

"Ask the princess for forgiveness." The woman did not dare to defend herself, and together with the maids, she gently pulled away the daughter of the king of Jibei and persuaded the other four princesses to leave.

After the people left, the princess sighed: "The little girl is ignorant and unwilling to leave home, so the seventeenth prince is not strange." The marriage is decided by her parents, and when she enters the house, it will be fine in a few days. I also hope that the seventeenth prince will be more responsible, not disgusted by the arrogance and stupidity of the little girl, and can endure three points for ordinary people, and two more points for the little girl. ”

The princess is a reasonable person, and Lou Ji hurriedly bowed down and said: "The boy is ugly, and it is a lifelong blessing to be worthy of the princess." ”

"It's not certain who is lucky." The princess paused, "Your Highness said that you are very similar to the princess of Wu Kingdom, and it is true." Seventeen sons, please go back, forgive me for not being able to send it far. ”

inexplicably recruited him, just to see if he looked like the princess of Wu Guo, Lou Ji felt more and more strange.
