Chapter 66: Gu Rong proposes marriage
"Daddy, I want my daughter to be the master of my parents when she was in her hometown, saying that the Ma family is rich and rich, and there are endless blessings after entering the door, but the Ma boy eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, abducts, cheats, and poisons, and the daughter begged you bitterly at the time, but you are not allowed to withdraw from the marriage, and in desperation, the daughter had to secretly leave home and run to another country, and the father entered Beijing as an official, and finally withdrew from the marriage, but today the father and the mother made another claim to promise the daughter to the king of Chengdu, doesn't the daughter have the right to be the master, and the daughter can't pursue her own happiness?"
Mrs. Yang came over and persuaded: "Rong'er, even if the Ma Gongzi has 10,000 unsatisfactory feelings, now it is finally over, today's king of Chengdu is not comparable to the Ma family, the king of Chengdu is a royal noble, and the future is immeasurable, it is your blessing that you can marry into the palace, why is Rong'er so ignorant." ”
Yang Xianrong said: "Dad, mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry a wealthy family, and she doesn't covet the powerful, she just wants to find someone she likes to live, if he is a hero, it is a blessing for her daughter, if he is a mortal, her daughter has no complaints, and her daughter will never marry the king of Chengdu!" ”
Yang Xuanzhi is a greedy power-hungry person, how would he let go of such an opportunity, think about himself since he climbed to Sima Lun, the king of Zhao through Sun Xiu, the official road has been straight up, and now he is a waiter, if there is another prince and son-in-law, then he will not be allowed to be the prime minister in the future, he said angrily to Yang Xianrong: "Don't know what to do, this matter does not allow you to be the master, you just wait for the sedan chair of the palace." ”
Yang Xianrong saw that his father was unmoved, and couldn't help but be sad, thinking about how he had made a love with Liu Kunyue, how could he bear this love, tears couldn't stop falling, Xiao Yun also accompanied him to shed tears, Yang Xuanzhi was just about to reprimand them, and the housekeeper came in to report that Liu Yao of Huida Qianzhuang came to visit.
Yang Xuanyi didn't know Liu Yao's name when he heard it, so he asked the housekeeper what his official position was. The housekeeper reported that he had no official position, and was a Hun man, who came to Luoyang to do business, had several gambling houses and money houses, and was still the hall master of Guiyi Hall, but he was not the only one who came, and he also brought two subordinates, and the most important thing was that he came with Luoyang County Ling Cao Ji, and there were also generous gifts.
Not long after Yang Xuanzhi came to the capital, he had never heard of Liu Yao, and he had no official position, so he didn't want to see him, but he heard that there was a county order to come with him, and he heard that there was a generous gift, so he immediately took the gift sheet from the housekeeper's hand and looked at it, and was surprised in his heart, so thick and polite, and hurriedly said: "Invite your guests." ”
He said to the sheep and the two of them, "There is a guest coming, go down first." ”
Yang Xianrong and the two retreated to the embroidery building.
While speaking, Luoyang County ordered Cao Ji and Liu Yao, Liu Yin, and Liu Gon to enter the living room, and the subordinates of Yangfu carried a large wooden compartment, which was a gift from Liu Yao.
Cao Xuan and Yang Xuanzhi were noisy, Cao Xuan introduced Liu Yao to him, Yang Xuanzhi immediately let people watch tea, several people chatted for a while, Yang Xuanzhi said to Liu Yao: "Liu Zhuangshi and Yang have never known each other, I don't know why they gave such a generous gift today............"
Cao Yu took over and said: "Yang Shilang, Liu Tang Master has made friends from all over the world, and there are countless friends in the officialdom, in order to be able to do business in Luoyang safely, as the saying goes, one more friend has one more way, Liu Tang Master and Xia Guan have long been familiar with each other, so I asked Xia Guan to come to visit." ”
"I see, it's easy to say." Yang Xuanzhi said and asked people to add tea, Liu Yao drank two cups, got up to say goodbye, but Cao Xuan did not go with him, he wanted to stay and drink two more cups of tea, Yang Xuanzhi asked people to send Liu Yao and Liu Gon Liu Yin away, Cao Yao then said: "Lord Shilang, you have also seen this person Liu Yao just now, what do you think of this person?" ”
Yang Xuanzhi had just received the salute, so he naturally praised it, and Cao Yu said again: "Actually, there is an important matter for Xia Guan to come today. ”
"Please."
"Liu Yao is strong in martial arts, has 10,000 volumes, is a person who can do great things, once participated in the recruitment conference in Luoyang, almost worshiped the general, on the day of the conference he met a young woman on the street, this woman is beautiful and fragrant, the country is captivating, Liu Yao has seen it once and then it is unforgettable, and then I inquired in many ways to know that this person is the adult's daughter Miss Yang Xianrong, so Liu Yao wants to entrust the official to be a matchmaker............" Cao Yao said while looking at Yang Xuanzhi's face.
Yang Xuanzhi then understood that Liu Yao came on a blind date, and secondly to mention the matchmaker, hehe, the shot is generous, but no matter how much I love money, I will not marry my daughter to a person in the rivers and lakes, looking at his eyebrows are white, he must be a strange person, fortunately, the king of Chengdu has taken a fancy to the little girl, Yang Xuanzhi said: "Alas, Lord Cao, things are unfortunate, the little girl has promised to marry the king of Chengdu, today I have received the dowry, and I will marry next month." ”
When Cao Yu heard that Sima Ying had taken a fancy to Yang Xianrong, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to say: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”
Yang Xuanzhi's face was proud, Cao Xuan also had no intention of drinking tea again, and said goodbye to the sheep house, before leaving, Yang Xuanzhi pretended to let the housekeeper carry out the gift given by Liu Yao, Cao Yao said that Liu Yao had already said that the matter was successful or not the gift was no longer taken back, only as a filial piety to the Lord Lang, and it was inevitable that he would trouble Lord Yang in the future, Yang Xuanzhi excused himself a few times and accepted the gift with great affection.
Yang Xuanzhi and the housekeeper counted the gifts, and Yang Xuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and then someone came to report that Tingwei was visiting Gu Rong.
One of the Yang Xuans heard Gu Rong and immediately asked people to bring it in.
Gu Rong asked Liu Kun to stay outside the mansion for a while, and then he went to find out the news first.
Gu Rong entered the mansion under the guidance of the servant, and Yang Xuanzhi personally welcomed him into the living room.
Gu Rong drank tea in the living room, and after being polite with Yang Xuanzhi, he went straight to the point and said, "Gu Mou has a matter to discuss with Lord Shilang here. ”
Yang Xuanzhi said: "Although Lord Tingwei has something to say, it is naturally easy to say if Yang can agree."
Gu Rong said solemnly: "Gu is in charge of the world's prisons, often goes to various mansions, and I can't imagine that I met a promising young man in the Sili Mansion. ”
"Lord Gu has lifted this person to the sky, Yang understands it, Lord Gu wants to recommend this person to the court, if this person is talented, it is a good thing to be able to contribute to the court, how can this kind of thing be discussed, Lord Gu will go to the court tomorrow when he goes to the court, of course Yang agrees and supports, by the way, what is the name of this person?"
Gu Rong said: "Lord Yang misunderstood what I meant, if you want to recommend talents, Lord Sikong Zhang has already made arrangements, Lord Yang, Ling Ai Fangling has passed the double ten, and it is still waiting for the word leap, and I heard that she is dignified and virtuous, if Lord Yang can trust Gu, Gu will be a moon old, pull the strings from it, and achieve a marriage, I don't know what Lord Yang ............wants?" ”
