Chapter 470: Good Words Spoken
readx; But he said that Zhu Youzhen tried his best to speak, but he didn't expect to let Qi Xianzong refuse. He couldn't help but be a little annoyed www.biquge.info and held back his anger and picked up Qi Xianzong and said, "Old man, just open it up, why can't you marry Meifeng to me?" Do you still think that I have insulted the Qi family? ”
"The last general will not dare!" Qi Xianzong said solemnly, "It's just that the Qi family is not prosperous, and the last general has only one son, Qi Hualong, who is young and frail and sickly, so he has always regarded Meifeng as a boy." The last general also counted on her to shadow the position of the last general and pass on the Qi family's army from generation to generation. If she marries His Royal Highness as a concubine, as soon as she enters the Houmen, there will be no successor to the Qi family..."
Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and said in his heart that he didn't expect this section. I have to say that Qi Xianzong has a certain reason to think about it, listening to this meaning, he wants to recruit a son-in-law for Qi Meifeng. However, for him, a modern person, the concept of inheritance is not as strong as that of the ancients, and after a little thought, he smiled:
"It turns out that the old man has this concern. Please rest assured, my family members of the Qin Wangfu have never been locked in the mansion, and the door is not out of the second door. I have always advocated that women do not have to be dependent on men, and that it is better to have their own careers. After Meifeng marries me, as long as she wants, she can still serve in the Qi family's army, and it is okay to take over the position of your family master.
"As for the next head of the family, it can be elected from among the children of the Qi family, or it can be the children of me and Meifeng, in short, the banner of the Qi family army will not fall. However, in this way, we have to live separately from each other, and we have to delay the journey for a few more days in the year. ”
Qi Xianzong looked at Zhu Youzhen in astonishment after hearing this, and was speechless for a while. For him, Zhu Youzhen's point of view is too incredible! In this era, it is important to pay attention to "the daughter who marries out, and the water that is spilled out", as long as she gets married, she has nothing to do with her mother's family, how can she still take over as the head of the family?
Therefore, he didn't believe it at all, and although it was difficult to refute it, he changed the subject and said, "Even if it is as His Highness said." But the little girl has a stubborn temper since she was a child, and the last general heard that His Royal Highness has a princess and a side concubine, and Meifeng's marriage to His Royal Highness is tantamount to being small, so how can she be willing to know her well? ”
Of course, Zhu Youzhen understood that it was not Qi Meifeng who was unwilling, but Qi Xianzong had a pimple in his heart. Busy patiently explained: "Don't dare to deceive the old man, I really have a princess and a side concubine." But I think that no matter whether it is a concubine or a concubine, it is all a false name, and the key depends on the relationship between husband and wife.
"Those two women, like Meifeng, were born and died with me, so my affection for them is also the same. Meifeng has been in Jingyang for a few months, and she also gets along with them very well, and she and the side concubine Bao Yulian are still sisters. So please rest assured that after Meifeng marries me, she will never be wronged. ”
Qi Xianzong smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, the eldest husband is alive, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, and the last general will also have a concubine, not to mention that His Royal Highness is a prince." Since His Highness said so, the last general should have been relieved. Helplessly, when children get married, there must always be the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. If His Highness asks for marriage a year earlier, he will not be able to ask for it; But now that the general has promised Meifeng to Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Zhibao, how can he regret it? ”
Zhu Youzhen finally talked about the difficulty, so he took out a set of rhetoric that had been prepared and said: "Old man, please forgive me for being presumptuous and reproaching you. Marriage events, how can it be child's play? Meifeng and I got acquainted in the front, and you got engaged to her later. Why didn't you ask Meifeng for advice when you were engaged? You obviously know that the two of us are in love, but Zheng Zhibao has never met and doesn't know how to be virtuous and foolish, so you are willing to marry Meifeng to him? What if Meifeng is bullied in the future? Even if she is not bullied and marries someone she doesn't like, isn't Meifeng going to be miserable for the rest of her life? ”
Qi Xianzong listened to it but said a little disappreciatively: "Your Highness's words are wrong. It is precisely because marriage is not a child's play that parents are in charge. As for what you said that you have never met, what is this, the days of getting along after getting married are still long, and it is not too late to slowly cultivate feelings. Looking at the world, who hasn't come over like this? Even if it's long live today, isn't it also a wedding at the behest of the Queen Mother? ”
Zhu Youzhen made him choke and speechless for a long time, and the people of this era are too different from the concept of marriage in his previous life! Here, marriage is all about succession, and there is no consideration at all about whether there is love between men and women!
Qi Xianzong still didn't relent: "As for what His Highness said, whether Zheng Zhibao will bully Meifeng, it doesn't bother His Highness at all." Zheng Zhilong has promised the last general, and after the two get married, Zheng Zhibao will stay in Dengzhou. First, to assist the last general to rectify the coastal defense and resist the Japanese invaders, and second, the last general can also supervise Zheng Zhibao. If he dares to bully Meifeng, the last general will dissuade him. In the future, when they have children, they will be the next head of the Qi family. ”
Qi Xianzong was still chattering complacently, but Zhu Youzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "Old man, you are confused!" I might as well tell you that Zheng Zhilong's character is extremely bad, and he has committed many unrighteous acts, and sooner or later he will be punished. Even if you don't marry Meifeng to me, you must not marry the Zheng family, isn't this pushing her into the fire pit?
"Besides, you just said that after getting married, if Zheng Zhibao bullies Meifeng, what should you do. Did you know that it was too late?! Meifeng's lifelong happiness has been completely ruined by your rash decision! ”
Qi Xianzong was so reprimanded by Zhu Youzhen that he opened his mouth, but he still refused to bow his head, and said angrily: "Although what His Royal Highness said is not unreasonable, but the wood has already been completed, and there is no way for the last general." A few days ago, Zheng Zhilong sent a letter that he would personally lead the Zheng fleet and his brother Zheng Zhibao to Dengzhou to get married, and the day or two should come..."
"What!" Yuan Keli, who had already left, didn't know when he had returned, and when he heard this, he suddenly popped up, pointed at Qi Xianzong's nose and asked, "General Qi, why don't you report to your official for such a big matter?" ”
After all, Qi Xianzong was Yuan Keli's subordinate, and seeing that Yuan Keli was angry, he was also a little weak-hearted, so he hurriedly lowered his hand and said: "The last general thinks that this is the last general's family matter,...
"What a family affair!" Yuan Keli jumped like thunder and said, "General Qi, you are so confused!" Who is Zheng Zhilong, you should know better than this official! He was originally born as a bandit, rose in Japan, and dominated the sea frontier, and the sailor could not be banned. Now although he accepts Zhao'an and bears the name of the chief soldier, it is still a self-contained system, and the warships under his command are like his Zheng private soldiers, and the court cannot dispatch them at all. And he is inextricably linked with the wolf, and if you let him come in person, isn't this leading the wolf into the house? I think Zheng Zhilong married you, but he had bad intentions at all, and he might want to seize the command of the Qi family's army! ”
This thunder and smoke cannon made Qi Xianzong say that he had just woken up from a dream, and his head was also sweating: "This... This..."
At this moment, a Chinese soldier flew to report: "Governor Qiqi: A large number of warships suddenly appeared on the southeast sea!" ”
"Is there a flag?" Yuan Keli hurriedly asked.
"Yes, there are a few big characters on it: Ming Fuzhou General Soldier and Naval Governor: Zheng!"
