Wei Zhongxian got the news, fearing that he would support the "Qingjun side", frightened, and came to the dormitory of the Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse and knelt beside the imperial bed and cried bitterly.
In the name of "leaving the place of faith without a will, not the ancestral law", he was asked to return to the customs, and Sun Chengzong had no choice but to return. Afterwards, the eunuchs used this incident to attack Sun Chengzong for "supporting the army to Que, and the rebellion is obvious", but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not easy to deceive and ignored it.
Huang Sheng entered Guancheng and came to Lord Sun Chengzong's official office, but was told that Lord Sun had gone to Jizhou, and no one knew when he would return. went to find an acquaintance Ma Shihu again, and he followed Ma Shilong to escort Master Sun to Jizhou together.
There were no relatives here, and there were no other acquaintances, so the three of them had to come to the post house to live. As soon as he washed his face, Huang Mingli said happily: "My lord, I think that instead of waiting for Lord Sun here, it is better to go to the He family to have a look, Miss He may already want to wear it." ”
Ho family? If it wasn't for Huang Mingli to remind him, Huang Sheng couldn't even think of his own prospective father-in-law here. Huang Sheng deliberately didn't come here, but he was actually afraid of marrying a woman he didn't know at all.
Huang Mingli, this kid married two women, this period of time has been a nourishing life, I think Huang Sheng will also do the family affairs earlier, as soon as he heard that he came to Shanhaiguan on business, he saved the idea of going to He's house, and when he came, he had already brought Huang Sheng's marriage book, and wanted to go to He's house after seeing the Governor.
Being idle now is also idle, he changed his mind and asked Huang Sheng to go now.
Huang Sheng is a modern person, and he is most afraid of a wife falling from the sky, he doesn't know whether he is tall or short, fat or thin, and it is possible to be a disabled person.
He shirked and said: "Mingli, I think this family business is forgotten, people don't know whether to recognize it or not." ”
Huang Mingli said confidently: "Impossible, my lord, you are now an official master, they don't know what the He family is, I must be overjoyed to see you." ”
Han Guang also said: "My lord, who doesn't love a hero like you, the He family is an ancestor who has accumulated virtue." ”
Both of them persuaded Huang Sheng to confess his relatives, and Huang Sheng was so entangled by them that he had no choice but to agree to take a look, but asked them to keep a low profile and not make everyone known, in case there was any change in the He family, there would be room for maneuver.
As long as these two boys agree to go to He's house, these two boys will follow any conditions.
Huang Sheng changed into a scholar's green shirt, and took Huang Mingli and Han Guang, who were wearing ordinary family clothes, out of the post house, the He family was very famous here, and immediately inquired about the address.
Coming to the door of the luxurious He Mansion, Huang Mingli stepped forward to deliver a message, and the housekeeper heard that it was the future uncle who came, so he didn't dare to slack off and ran in to report the news.
After a while, he was introduced to the He Mansion and brought to a small courtyard, and the He family's family said with a smile: "Huang Gongzi must have not eaten yet, so he will stay here first and talk about eating." ”
Immediately, someone brought in seven or eight dishes, which were neither hearty nor shabby. At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came, and the accompanying family member introduced: "Huang Gongzi, this is Uncle He, the steward of the He family, the master is not at home today, we will take you to meet him when he comes back." ”
He Bo sat down and looked at Huang Sheng carefully and said, "Huang Gongzi, the little old man can have a name, you can just call the little old man by his name." ”
Huang Sheng said politely: "Uncle He, you are an elder, how dare the student be presumptuous, I don't know when I will be able to meet my uncle?"
He Bo avoided this topic and began to ask Huang Sheng about how he came here, and Huang Sheng told him how he had escaped, of course, he didn't mention the killing of Jiannu later.
Huang Mingli and Han Guang were quite unhappy in their hearts, the two of them had also experienced ups and downs, and with determination, they couldn't bear it. Of course, Huang Sheng and his two generations saw that this He family was weird, and he didn't care, and he still talked and laughed.
In the back hall of the inner courtyard of the He family, Master He Xian and He turned straight like ants on a hot pot, Mrs. He sighed beside her, and several other aunts were chattering and arguing.
A young woman was crying, and she said, "Why are fathers and mothers and daughters so miserable?" finally settled on a satisfactory family affair, and the marriage was completed in a few days, this halfway to kill a Huang Gongzi, what should the daughter do? ”
The marriage date agreed by the He family and the Huang family was reached, and the Huang family did not know the life and death of the Huang family after the fall of Guangning. The He family thought that the Huang family should be in trouble, so they re-established a family affair for their only daughter this spring.
This time, the in-laws are good, it is the Zhang family of Yongping Mansion, the son of Zhang Hongliang is a talent, the only fly in the ointment is that he is the fourth son, and the Zhang family is called the fourth son.
He came to live in the He family for a few days in the summer, and the suave fourth son and Miss Guilan of the He family secretly met a few times in private, and the two met eye to eye and were inseparable. The wedding date is almost set, and the Zhang family is ready to marry Miss He at the end of the month.
Master He sighed and said, "Alas! As a father, I didn't know that the Huang family's boy was so fateful, and he escaped back from Jiannu's side, and now people have a marriage certificate to rely on, how would it be good if there was trouble. ”
Mrs. He complained: "Master, you are really confused, and you are in a hurry to marry your daughter again without asking clearly, and now one daughter and two husbands will not be drowned by the spitting stars when they are spread, and if you break your daughter's reputation and old body, you will not have the face to live, well, ......." ”
Guilan cried endlessly, she said: "My daughter doesn't care if that Huang Gongzi has a marriage certificate or not, my daughter only marries the fourth son, Dad, can you think of a way to drive him away?" ”
The He family gave birth to six sons, only this one daughter, who is pampered like a pearl in the palm of her hand, usually dancing and reading some poetry books at home, and has four personal girls to serve and read together.
The four maids are Mei Xiang, Ju Xiang, Lotus Xiang, and Tao Xiang, at this time Mei Xiang said: "Miss, you haven't seen that Huang Gongzi yet, maybe he is also a handsome boy who knows cold and hot, and his family also has a lot of money, how can he get it now?" ”
Ju Xiang said: "Miss, it's better to be like this, the slave sisters will accompany you to see that Huang Gongzi, if you don't like it, find a way to let him go, and if you like it, you have to find a way to go back to the side of the fourth son." ”
Guilan said angrily: "Dead girl, what nonsense? I am in love with the fourth son, how can I still fall in love with others? ”
He Xiang said: "Actually, Miss should marry Huang Gongzi, the Huang family and the He family have long had a marriage contract, the Zhang family is the family of the official eunuch, it must be reasonable, no one would have thought that the Huang family would escape death, just explain the matter clearly and should be able to be understood." ”
Guilan said: "Hexiang, shut up, that Huang Gongzi fled back to Shanhaiguan, there are only two family members by his side, and he has no long things, what will he use to marry me, and where will he live in the future?" What do you live on? ”
Hexiang said: "The slave maid has long heard that Huang Gongzi is smart, and he became a high school student early, as long as he studies hard for a few more years, he will not know the high school laurels, and the He family's great cause will not be impossible for you husband ......and wife for a few years." ”
Guilan interrupted her with a sneer: "Hexiang has a good calculation, I have a ready-made official son to marry, but I don't push the boat with the water, but I want to look at my face at my mother's house with a penniless Huang Gongzi, do you want to push me into the fire pit?" ”
Hexiang was so frightened that she knelt down and said: "Miss, the slave has never left Miss since she was a child, and she is loyal to Miss, but when she sees that the master is in a dilemma, she only says some reason, all for the good of Miss, Miss, don't misunderstand!" ”
Master He said: "Enough, you don't need to intervene in the affairs of the head of the family, and people can't be turned away when they come from afar, so they will stay first." Hexiang and Juxiang, the four of you are the most intimate with the young lady, go to Huang Gongzi to keep an eye on it, and don't let outsiders know about it. ”
At this time, a maid came to the housekeeper He Keyou to pass a message, asking when he would see Huang Gongzi, Master He was annoyed, and said: "Let them wait first, just say that the master has gone to the capital, and I don't know when I will go home." ”
The ancestral home of the He family is Liaodong, and later settled in Shanhaiguan, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the pass, and there are many children in the family who serve in the Liaodong Army.
Liaodong grain is too expensive, Hejia Liangtian is close to Shanhaiguan, the location is unique, these years have saved countless belongings, is the local tyrant. The six sons have all made a name for themselves, of course, only the second son He Zizai and the fourth son He Zizi have been tested by strength, and the others are all prisoners who have received donations.
Master Zhang of Yongping Mansion is willing to marry his family, and he also likes the strength of the He family, so he should be a good match.
The He family and the Huang family in Guangning got married more than ten years ago, Huang Sheng's father and the master of the He family participated in the hospital examination together, and the two fell in love and set a baby kiss for their three-year-old child.
Later, the He family was thriving, and the Huang family was getting worse, and Mr. He and Mrs. He loved this only daughter the most, and they were extremely sad to think of marrying her to Guangning. The situation in Liaodong is getting worse and worse, and the situation in Guangning is worrying, and they are all worried that their daughters will have a hard time in the future.
I already regret the family business I set at the beginning, but in this era, the matter of marriage is quite serious, and the family that dares to regret marriage for no reason will be spurned and will get into a lawsuit, so they have to resign themselves to fate.
Who knew that just before the wedding came, Jiannu was in trouble, the Ming army was defeated and lost Guangning, too many Han people were killed, He Xian thought that the Huang family must have suffered, otherwise the Huang family would have fled to Shanhaiguan to join him.
On the contrary, he felt that his daughter was a blessing in disguise, this is not a regret of marriage, there are too many such situations in Liaodong, the war has displaced many families, and the marriage letter set before has become a dead letter because there is no object to perform the contract, and even the government has ignored it.
Master He Xian was active around and finally climbed into a family like Lord Zhengwupinfutai, of course he was very concerned, and this summer he saw the pretty boy with a lotus tongue again, the old lady was infinitely happy, and even her daughter pretended to be confused and let it go behind her back.
Huang Sheng didn't wait for Master He Xian to summon him, and the housekeeper He Keyou told him that it was too unfortunate to come, and the master had gone to Jingshi, and he might not come back in a few days.
This is obviously a lie, even Han Guang can see it, this kid can't bear it and is about to have a seizure, Huang Sheng hurriedly stopped it.
