Chapter 612: Marriage in front of the emperor (1)
"Ho...... Ah......h
The third master just married a concubine again, and after working hard in the middle of the night yesterday, people couldn't help but be a little tired, even if they slept for a while, their spirits were not very good, but they didn't dare to miss the ministry affairs, they got up before dawn, stretched their waists fiercely, looked up and yawned, obviously they hadn't slept enough.
"Lord, the little prince has gone to the palace, and he left a letter before leaving, saying that he sent it when the prince got up."
Before the third master finished yawning, he saw a maid hurriedly coming in from outside, and while chattering, he handed a letter to the third master.
"Oh? When did Qing'er leave? ”
As soon as he heard the maid say this, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, there was no other, although the father and son were now divided, but whether they went to the court or went to the ministry, they have always been together, every time Hongqing was waiting for the third master to go together outside the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion early, and there had never been an exception.
"Back to the prince, the little prince has been gone for nearly half an hour."
The third master asked, but the maid didn't dare to slack off a little, so she hurriedly gave an answer.
"Hmm."
Hearing that Hongqing actually left so early, the third master's brows immediately wrinkled, but he didn't say any more, but took the letter impatiently, opened the seal, took out a few pieces of paper from the inside, and went through it at a glance, his face instantly became wonderful, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly stood up, and said in a somewhat angry manner: "Come on, change clothes, this king wants to enter the palace immediately!" ”
"Wow!"
Under the third master's sudden snort, the crowd did not dare to slack off a little, and no one dared to come forward to ask the truth......
"Master, King Renjun sent a letter early in the morning, asking the master to take a look."
As a soldier brother, the old fourteen has always been very diligent, although last night in the eighth master's mansion drank a little high, but still got up before dawn, in the back garden a few times to practice boxing and feet, stretch the muscles and bones, then returned to the room in high spirits, planning to use breakfast and rushed to the military department, but before he opened his mouth to greet the people to pass the meal, he saw that the head of the house had already hurriedly run, while reporting, while handing a letter to the old fourteen.
"Oh?"
As soon as he heard that it was a letter sent by Hongqing, the old fourteen's brows immediately frowned, but he didn't ask much, he took the letter casually, tore open the seal, and took out two pieces of paper from the inside, one of which had Hongqing's name and birth date written on it, and the other one, there was only one sentence - if the previous matter was not done, the previous discussion would be invalidated!
"Bastard!"
Just glanced at the words on the paper, Lao Fourteen was suddenly furious, scolded angrily, and shook his hand, as if he wanted to cinch the two pieces of paper in his hand into a ball, but at the end, he still resisted the impulse, and paced back and forth in the room in annoyance.
It is undoubtedly not a comfortable thing to be sent by the juniors to do things, but this is not the root cause of the old fourteen's anger, what really annoys the old fourteen is that his calculation of extortion is afraid that it will fall into the void - that's right, the old fourteen promised the eighth master yesterday to go to Alinga's mansion to be such a matchmaker, but the old fourteen didn't want to go so soon, but wanted to knock on the sum from Hongqing again, and wanted to wait for Hongqing to come to the door, and then bargain. didn't expect Hongqing to come up with this ultimatum, and it was obviously impossible for the old fourteen's calculation to be realized.
"Come on, change clothes, you have to go to Aling's Mansion immediately!"
The old fourteen was angry, but at the end he didn't dare to risk losing the handsome seal, there was no other, the old fourteen was not sure whether Hongqing would go to Prince Zhuang to come forward as a matchmaker, if this was the case, then the consequences would be unbearable, because of this, although the old fourteen was unwilling, but he could only roar impatiently......
When the first rays of sunlight shine on the tower of Tiananmen Square, the corner towers on both sides of the city gate are immediately a burst of drums, and then I saw that the two thick palace gates were pushed away from the inside by more than a dozen sturdy soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion, and Hongqing, who had been waiting in the square in front of the palace for a long time, immediately walked forward slowly, handed over the sign of invitation, and after a little greeting with the sergeants of the Shanpu Battalion who came to greet him, he immediately retreated to the outside of the cordon, quietly waiting for the will of the old man, However, the old man's will did not wait, but the fourth master and father and son arrived first.
"The little nephew has seen the fourth uncle."
Seeing the fourth master's father and son coming together, the corners of Hongqing's mouth immediately showed a sneer, but the due courtesy was not missing, but seeing Hongqing walking a few steps quickly, he greeted him, and he politely saluted the fourth master.
"Qing'er is polite, polite, she is going to face the saint so early, could it be that something happened in the ministry, if you have to be an uncle, just say hello."
As soon as the fourth master got off the sedan chair, he had already seen Hongqing standing in front of the palace gate, and he had already guessed Hongqing's intention in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Facing Hongqing's courtesy, the fourth master just smiled and said hello.
"Thank you to the fourth uncle for your love, if you need it, you should ask the fourth uncle for help."
The fourth master wanted to pretend to be confused, and Hongqing didn't bother to expose it, so he also smiled politely.
"Well, that's good, Uncle Wei handed over the sign first, and we'll talk later."
Over the years, the fourth master has dealt with Hongqing too much, how can he not know that Hongqing City is as deep as the sea, and he will not expect to be able to find out what the wind direction can be found from Hongqing's mouth......
"Report, master, the fourteenth master is here."
It's not the morning today, and it's not worth it, but Alinga still got up early in the morning, in fact, he almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't have anyone around, he was angry with his granddaughter - after the hereditary first-class duke, he actually put it in the ready-made prince's wife inappropriately, and he wanted to make someone small, which was simply embarrassing his Alinga's face, not to mention that Qinglian wanted to marry Hongqing's political enemy, isn't this just looking for him Alinga's unpleasantness, thinking of this, Alinga was really annoyed enough, early in the morning, He sulked in the study, and was in a state of annoyance, but saw the housekeeper running in a hurry, and hurriedly reported a word.
"Oh? Please, ah, sir, I'll meet you personally. ”
Hearing that the old fourteen had arrived, Alinga didn't dare to slack off, and was slightly stunned, and hurriedly greeted him out of the house, and respectfully welcomed the fourteenth master into the hall of the second door.
"Old man, my lord is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing today, hehe, let's put it this way, my lord is entrusted by someone to come to be a matchmaker."
The old fourteen's mansion is not close to Afu, and it is already three minutes when he arrives at the ground, and it is only half an hour away from the time limit given by Hongqing.
"Matchmaking? Fourteenth Master, what do you mean by ......?"
Although Alinga is a military general, but people are not stupid, when they heard the old fourteen say something strange, even if their hearts sank, but the old fourteen had already opened his mouth, Alinga did not dare not ask to understand.
"Old man, here's the thing, the third master's little cub Hongqing has fallen in love with your granddaughter, called ......, oh, yes, called Qinglian, just ask the master to be a matchmaker, what about this, the starling brother already knows, what? Whether it succeeds or not, give the master a truth. ”
It's about Shuai Yin, the old fourteen really didn't want to make a big detour with Ah Ling'a at this time, and he made his intentions straightforward, and he didn't hesitate to bring out such a great god as the eighth master, intending to use this to suppress Ah Ling's submission.
"The fourteenth master said and laughed, yesterday the fourth master entrusted Long Keduo to come, and proposed marriage to his son Hongli, and what he asked for was Qinglian's girl, the old man saw that Hongli was extraordinary, and his heart was very much expected, and he didn't think much about it, so he agreed, and now the ceremony is going to be lowered, alas, the fourteenth master, you are a step late, it's not that the lower officials refuse to agree, it's really a last resort, Haihan, Haihan."
It is true that Alinga is a hardcore supporter of the eighth master, and in politics, he has always looked forward to the eighth master, but it does not mean that he has to listen to the eighth master for everything, after all, he is a hereditary first-class duke, no matter how he says it, he doesn't want to lose face, and he refuses to obey the old fourteenth, of course, Alinga is an old and cunning man, but he will not refuse it openly, but find some excuses and politely refuse the old fourteen's request.
"Lord Ah must know that this matter was personally agreed by the starling brother, if Lord Ah insists on doing so, the starling brother is to blame, must it be a joke?"
Although the old fourteenth and Alinga are also acquaintances, they know that it is difficult to control this old horse, which once again emphasizes the meaning of the eighth master.
"The fourteenth master, if it is not hypocrisy, but this matter has already been decided, if you really want to marry another, you must finally get the willingness of the fourth master? Look at this ......"
Alinga is very stubborn, and has made up his mind, no matter what the old fourteenth says, he will never change his words, and simply kicks the question to the fourth master, although the words are sincere, but the inside is full of stubbornness, which immediately makes the old fourteen's face as black as the bottom of a pot......
