Chapter 1006: A Cloudy Day in Helan's House
At noon the next day, Helan Mansion, in the main hall.
The two heads of the Helan family, the eldest right Xiaowei general Helan Qianshan, and the second left Jin Wuwei general Helan Qiaoshan were all sitting in the hall, but their faces were not good.
Especially Helan Qianshan, the father of Helan Chushi, kept muttering with a sad face: "How is this good? How good is that? β
To say that this Helan family can be regarded as a prominent family in Chang'an City, a newly rising family among the nobles.
The two brothers were promoted under the command of the Duke of Luguo, Junji, and they both started by virtue of their military exploits, and the eldest Helan Qianshan, as the general of the right Xiaowei, was in charge of half of the Xiaowei troops guarding the imperial city, about 5,000 people.
The second Helan Qiaoshan, the official title of the general of the left Jin Wuwei, was in charge of the 20,000 Jin Wuwei troops outside Chang'an City, echoing the right Jin Wuwei led by Hou Junji.
The Helan family has two heroes and two generals, although they can't enter the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other Guanlong clans, but they are also the upstarts in Chang'an City that cannot be ignored.
It stands to reason that Helan Qianshan, who is the elder brother of Helan family, should be the head of the Helan family. However, character determines fate, Helan Qianshan belongs to the kind of person who is more brave and less strategic, and always loses his calm and chaotic sense when he encounters a major event.
Therefore, the big and small affairs of the Helan family are often presided over by the second Helan Qiaoshan, and usually the eldest Helan Qianshan obeys the suggestions of the second Helan Qiaoshan.
This is why Helan Chushi, who is the eldest grandson of the Helan family, is so afraid of his uncle that he even wants his uncle to be the master of marriage.
Compared with the eldest Helan Qianshan, the second Helan Qiaoshan is a smart person.
At this time, Helan Qianshan was full of sadness, holding a letter in his hand, and kept muttering it in his mouth as if the sky was about to fall.
Helan Qiaoshan's face was not much better, and there was more anger in addition to his sadness.
He listened to the words that his eldest brother kept repeating and repeating, and the fire in his heart suddenly burst into flames again, bang~
Helan Qiaoshan slapped his palm on the table and scolded angrily: "This brute, he is going to trap the entire family in a state of ruin!" Big brother, big brother, you are too arrogant and accustomed to raising this beast on weekdays, so that he dares to cause such a big disaster today. β
"Alas...... Second child, Chu Shi is the eldest son and eldest grandson of our Helan family, and you have nothing to do under your knees, so it is inevitable to spoil him a little on weekdays! β
As a father, Helan Qianshan argued a little unconvinced: "Besides, second brother, don't you also respond to Chu Shi's requests on weekdays?" What's the use of saying that now? β
"I ...... I ......"
Helan Qiaoshan became exhausted for a while, because the boss was right, and he usually doted on this nephew.
Okay now, it's a big deal to spoil too much.
This little bastard actually left a letter and wanted to escape into the empty door to become a monk.
This doesn't matter, this little bastard also said in the letter that the daughter of the Hou family is too ugly, and marrying her is tantamount to jumping into a fire pit, so she would rather always accompany the green lantern than come back to marry a wife.
"Second child, what can I do now?"
Holland Qianshan spread out the letter handwritten by Helan Chushi in his hand and spread it on the table, and said: "If Xiaozi makes such a fuss, our Helan family will cut off the incense." But now a few groups of subordinates have been dispatched, but he has not been found in the city. Do you think he's out of town now? β
Helan's family broke the incense?
Helan Qiaoshan snorted coldly, and said in his heart, this is still light, the key is that this bastard walks away like this, but the marriage between the Hou family and the Helan family will be ruined. Now that the Luguo Mansion is going to marry a daughter into Helan's family, the marriage between the two families has spread, and the trouble is known all over the city, and even the date of marriage has been set.
Now, how to explain to his immediate boss Gabole backer Hou Junji.
When the time comes, how will his backer Hou Junji step down? Where to put Hou Junji's face?
The more Helan Qiaoshan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "Big brother, I'm afraid I can't hold this matter." The wedding day is coming, let's think about how to deal with Lu Guogong's side, right? If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that you and I, the positions of one general and two generals, will not be long away. If you offend Lu Guogong, I'm afraid the good days of the Helan family will come to an end! Alas, what a sin! β
"Huh? Second, then you should hurry up and think of a way? β
Helan Qiaoshan was also shocked by the second child's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was such a truth, and the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, and shouted in a hurry: "Second child, you usually have a lot of ideas, so I count on you for this matter." It's really not good, so we took advantage of the fact that this matter was not publicized now, and hurried to Lu Guogong's mansion, and told Lu Guogong that our family Chu Shi was far away, or that Chu Shi's child was seriously ill and couldn't get married for the time being. What do you think? β
"Hmph, naΓ―ve!"
Helan Qiaoshan didn't respect his eldest brother at all, and scolded on the spot: "If Lu Guogong is really so easy to fool, will I still be in a hurry now?" Alas, I can't do anything about it now. I really want to know, I haven't even seen Miss Hou, how could this kid Chu Shi know that Miss Hou is extremely ugly and lame? Big brother, I think there's something strange here! β
Helan Qianshan asked suspiciously, "Huh?" Second child, are you saying that Miss Hou is not as ugly as Chu Shi said at all? β
"Ahem, big brother, can you use more brains? What do I mean by that? β
Helan Qiaoshan scolded again, and said, "I mean, since I haven't seen the daughter of the Hou Mansion, how can Chu Shi see it?" How did you know that the daughter of the Hou Mansion was extremely ugly and lame? I suspect that someone is behind the scenes, using these vicious words to deceive Chu Shi, this child. This person definitely doesn't want to see the marriage between our Helan family and the Luguo Mansion, so he intends to sabotage it behind his back! β
"Huh?"
Helan Qianshan exclaimed again, then hurriedly picked up the letter from Helan Chushi on the table, got up and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's hurry up and go to the Luguo Mansion to meet Lord Hou, inform him of this matter, and make it clear. β
"What are you going to do?"
Helan Qiaoshan once again scolded his brother, and calmly analyzed: "Lu Guogong won't believe it, how could he believe this explanation with his suspicious nature?" And there is one thing you don't know, big brother, Lu Guogong has met several times recently, and has repeatedly tested my loyalty with words, as if there is a big matter for our Helan family to participate in it. This time, he was so anxious to let our Helan family marry his daughter, which is the best proof. He wants to tie our Helan family and his Hou family together and conspire to do great things. At this time, we went to tell him that Chu Shi was instigated to deceive and ran away from home and did not marry his daughter Hou Junji, do you think he would believe it? β
Helan Qianshan asked, "What's the big deal?" What is the conspiracy? β
Helan Qiaoshan shook his head and said, "I vaguely guessed a little, but I didn't dare to be sure. It's better not to know for the time being, your temperament, I am afraid that something will happen to you in advance. β
Helan Qianshan saw that the second child refused to tell him, and he didn't think that he was happy, because the matter of his son in front of him had already messed up, and where did he still have the heart to ask about any major matters.
So, he complained helplessly: "Then what can I do? It's not okay to advance, it's not okay to retreat, and the day of marriage is getting closer and closer, what should I do? β
"What else can I do?"
Helan Qiaoshan also had no choice but to stomp his feet heavily and shouted: "I can only send more people out to get Chu Shi's bastard back, and then hurry up to marry the daughter of the Hou Mansion." Our Helan family is prosperous because of Lu Guogong, if he is annoyed and jealous, it will inevitably decline because of Lu Guogong. Therefore, for the sake of now, the only way to do this is to send more people to search for the whereabouts of this bastard. Big brother, I'll leave this matter to you. β
Helan Qianshan nodded helplessly, and responded: "At present, there is only one way, I will do it." β
As he spoke, he walked to the back of the hall.
Helan Qiaoshan looked at the back of the eldest brother who was at a loss and hurried, and couldn't help reminding him from afar: "Big brother, in addition to sending more manpower, don't forget to let the subordinates go outside the city to search, it is estimated that this bastard has not gone far." And don't let go of any temple, if you find this bastard, even if he puts on a monk's robe and shaves his degree, he will be escorted back to the church to worship and marry. β
"Alas...... I know, I know! β
The figure of Helan Qianshan gradually faded away until it disappeared behind the hall.
After seeing the eldest brother leaving, Helan Qiaoshan slapped his palm on the table again, and shouted angrily: "Helan Chushi, if the Helan family is excluded and suppressed by Hou Junji because of you, you are the sinner of the Helan family!" β
Boring boring boring~
A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the hall, approaching the ears of Helan Qiaoshan......
A subordinate hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Second general, Lu Guogong broke into the door of our house with an angry face, looking like he was going to kill someone, and the little ones didn't dare to stop him!" β
Hou Junji is here? Still angry and slammed the door?
Helan Qiaoshan's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he said secretly depressed, could it be that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the matter of Chu Shi's refusal to marry has reached his ears?
Alas......
Helan Qiaoshan sighed, and thought in shock, what are you really afraid of~
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and commanded the subordinate: "Go, go and invite Lu Guogong to the hall, please come to the court, don't lose your manners!" β
"No need to please, my Hou Junji's legs are not broken, and I still have long feet, I can walk by myself!"
A word of irritation to the edge pierced Helan Qiaoshan's ears, extremely loud and harsh.
His top boss and backer, Hou Junji, came uninvited!
