Chapter 824: You can't have both
Faced with Cui Heling's face-to-face proposal, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly fell into a dilemma, if the Qinghe Cui family is compared to a bear's paw, the Weiguo Mansion is a steamed and delicious fish.
It is precisely the fish and the bear's paw that cannot be both, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally understands this truth.
In the end, it was agreed to Cui Heling and married Cui's family?
Or wait for Li Jing to return from the expedition, and personally go to the Weiguo Mansion to find a way to persuade Li Jing to marry the golden phoenix to his eldest grandson's mansion?
The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, secretly weighing the pros and cons of choosing one of the two.
He has three sons, the eldest and the second either have a marriage contract, or have married a wife, especially the eldest son who is most satisfied with him, Sun Chong, and his brother-in-law Li Shimin personally promised to recruit him as a concubine, which is a well-known thing in the Manchu Dynasty. Just wait for another two years, the eldest grandson Chong will marry his cousin Changle Princess Li Lizhen, and the cousin and cousin will kiss each other, which is the marriage between the eldest grandson and the royal family.
To say that the third eldest grandson Yumo can marry the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, for the eldest grandson Wuji, it is also a comfort for Lao Huai.
But isn't there a better option in front of us now?
Although the marriage between the eldest grandson and the Cui family is a strong alliance, compared with Li Jing, the prince of Weiguo, who is well-connected in the army, the eldest grandson Wuji is more inclined to the mansion of the prince.
Especially Yu Nuannuan, this girl is a golden phoenix, if she marries such a daughter-in-law, it will be even more powerful for the eldest grandson.
People are cheap, and the eldest grandson Wuji is not exempt from vulgarity, compared to the marriage of the Qinghe Cui family, he is even more inclined to the Weiguo Mansion that has not yet been skimmed.
"Lord Eldest Sun?"
Cui Heling called softly, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji hadn't given him an answer for a long time, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Could it be that the third son of your family has already had a marriage contract?" ”
"Huh? No, no, no ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand again and again, there is such a thing as a marriage contract, and if there is no such thing, even if the eldest grandson Wuji wants to lie, he can't deceive Cui Heling. After all, there are no impermeable walls in this world. If you deliberately hide it, it will attract Cui Heling's jealousy.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought that the third bastard in his family didn't seem to have returned to Chang'an, and he had been in Tubo since he left Yangzhou, and he hadn't heard from him for a long time.
Pregnant!
Immediately, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and sighed: "Brother Heling, I can't hide it, that bastard boy in my family is not in Chang'an City now, and he actually went to Tubo to travel." Hey, even if I promise you now, I'm afraid that this kid won't be worried and will hurt Ling Qianjin in the future. ”
"Hey, that's weird!"
Cui Heling's face was inexplicably puzzled, and he asked puzzledly: "Since ancient times, the marriage of these children has been the order of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Could it be that the eldest grandson still has to listen to Ling Gongzi's own arrangement? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, pretending to be helpless, and sighed: "Brother Heling doesn't know, alas, the family is unlucky, there is such a bad son." The third child in my family doesn't know how to get it, maybe it's because he doesn't agree with me, since he was a child, he has been working against me, a father, and he frequently stabbed Lou Zi, causing me a lot of trouble. Anything that I propose to be a father, this bastard designates to be against. Brother Heling should have heard some things about my family's bastard, and it is a complete scourge to do evil in Chang'an City. If I accept it to you now, this kid will not agree to it. Rather than this, it is better to go back and wait for him to return from Tibet, and find a way to be good at it. Brother Heling, do you think it's good? ”
Cui Heling naturally heard of the eldest grandson Yumo's bad deeds in Chang'an, and the third son in the eldest grandson's mansion really did some things that people were angry about.
Now when I hear the eldest grandson Wuji say this, I can't help but sympathize with the eldest grandson Wuji, but I didn't expect the eldest grandson to be glamorous outside, but there is such a sad history of blood and tears at home. He looked at the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji sighing, and muttered secretly, this father is really a failure, where can he compare to his words in the Cui family?
However, every family has a hard time, he then nodded his head to show understanding, and then comforted the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Lord eldest grandson, Ling Gongzi is also a young man, who is not frivolous?" What's more, which of these children in our house was not born with a golden spoon? As soon as he was born, he was destined to be very different from ordinary people. Then again, they also have the ability to act recklessly, because they are the children of the Guanlong clan. What does the eldest grandson think? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Cui Heling no longer bothering about the matter of proposing, but comforted himself, the stone in his heart slowly landed, pointed at Cui Heling and said with a smile: "Brother Heling's words are really crazy, yes, with us fathers, these bastards do have arrogant capital." By the way, Brother Heling will leave Chang'an tomorrow and return to Qinghe, right? ”
Cui Heling nodded, put the matter of marriage behind him for the time being, and responded: "That's right, Cui has been away from Qinghe for a few days, and since everything is over in Chang'an, I should also go home." What's wrong? Could it be that the eldest grandson has other explanations? ”
"I can't talk about explaining," the eldest grandson Wuji was a little polite, and then said to himself, "Brother Heling, now that Guo Ye has handed over the salt tax to the household department, the urgent need has been solved. So as far as I know of his style, he will certainly be free to find a way to find out what has been stolen by the salt tax. Therefore, it is best for Brother Heling to launder the millions of taels of salt tax as quickly as possible, and then divide it into zero, and the rain and dew will be stained with several other families. ”
Cui Heling understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant, and dared to remind himself not to forget to share the spoils.
However, he did not resist this matter, because the interests of the two families have always been the eight great families, oh no, now it should be the seven great families, and it has always been the foundation of the seven great families to be able to join forces.
Immediately, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Eldest Sun, when I return to Qinghe, I will start arranging this matter." The millions of taels of salt tax were washed away, and then distributed to every household. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji showed a little satisfaction on his face, and he snorted, and said: "If I guessed correctly, with Guo Ye's careful thinking, I should have guessed that the person behind the robbery of his Yangzhou salt tax must be your Cui family." Therefore, you must be secretive in your next actions, and don't follow his ways. ”
Cui Heling smiled disapprerovingly, shook his head and said: "Lord Eldest Sun is too worried, he was robbed in Qinghe County, plus our enmity with him, it is not surprising that he can guess that it is my Cui family who did it." But this thing was done unknowingly, and there was no tail left at all. As long as he can't find evidence, what if he knows that it was our Cui family who did it? Hehe, he will definitely not make a noise about this matter like us, does he want the court to know that he has lost the Yangzhou salt tax? I see, this dumb man is destined to eat it, and he will break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. ”
Seeing Cui Heling say it so lightly, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and always felt that with Guo Ye's character of retribution, he should not be so desperate.
Of course, he liked to see Guo Ye gritting his teeth because he had lost the salt tax, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet. But he was even more reluctant to see Guo Ye turn defeat into victory and become arrogant again.
"Okay, okay, don't think too much about it, Lord Eldest Sun, I think this kid surnamed Guo really hasn't slept well for a long time."
Cui Heling chuckled and comforted the eldest grandson Wuji, got up and said: "Don't worry, I will go back to Qinghe tomorrow, and I will definitely not let the kid surnamed Guo have a chance, this dumb loses, he has to eat if he doesn't eat, haha......"
As he spoke, he bowed and said, "Lord Eldest Sun, Cui is leaving early tomorrow morning, while there is still time today, I will go to Lord Fang's house to pay a visit." I won't come tomorrow to say goodbye, I will say goodbye first, and we will meet again another day. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he also gave a salute and invited a subordinate to send Cui Heling out of the house.
After Cui Heling left, he remembered what the other party said, Guo Ye really let himself lose his square inch and let himself suffer from gains and losses?
Thinking that he had been in the court for so many years, and he had made many miraculous achievements under Li Shimin back then, but he had never been so passive as he is now, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but feel depressed again.
He slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the south, although he couldn't see Yangzhou, Guo Ye's face full of evil smiles and treacherous suddenly appeared in his mind.
I don't want to see this person the most, but the influence of this person comes to mind clearly.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed in anger, as if the cat had been stepped on by its tail, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Damn Guo Ye, my eldest grandson Wuji has been standing in the sea for all these years, I don't believe that I will lose to you, a thief who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it!" ”
