Four, six, seven, Cai Jing dug a pit for Zhou Quan
If you want to marry a daughter, you must also have three media and six certificates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And with Zhao Ji's identity, if he wants to marry his daughter to Zhou Quan, the identity of this matchmaker cannot be low. The most suitable person is Mo Jing, who has just removed Cai Jing from the phase.
I heard that Cai Jing entered the palace, and it didn't take long for him to come out again, and the person who panicked was Cai You.
Cai Youbei has no other skills, but he is full of skills to figure out his intentions, he knows very well that the imperial court is currently facing serious financial difficulties, and the Son of Heaven still wants to rebuild Genyue. But he had nothing to do, and there was no way to raise enough funds for the imperial court.
In such a situation, maybe Zhao Ji will have the heart of transmutation again, and Cai Jing, the old son who was forced to retire by him, is likely to be used again.
This is definitely not good news for him.
There are no fathers and sons in the power field.
He didn't dare to go directly to Zhao Ji to ask, and his news channels in the palace only heard that Zhao Ji had a secret discussion with King Kang Zhao for a long time, and then summoned Cai Jing. This made Cai You even more panicked, Zhao Gou came from Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan and Cai Jing's tacit understanding is a well-known thing.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, and after half a year, he finally moved to the Taishi Mansion and returned to Cai Jing's mansion.
In the past, he naturally didn't need to be polite when he came, he could go straight into the study and see Cai Jing. But since Cai Jing was forced to retire last time, Cai Jing instructed his family that even if he came, he had to be honored before he could enter the house.
Therefore, Cai You waited outside the door for half an hour before finally entering and seeing his father in the study.
Cai Jing's face was gloomy.
Cai You's heart jumped when he saw his father's complexion, and after making a big salute, he asked, "The boss has a sad face, but he is not feeling well?" ”
"You come to check the old man's pulse." Cai Jing stretched out his hand angrily.
Cai You's face was slightly red, last time he used the excuse to check Cai Jing's pulse, judging that he was not in good health, so he used this as an excuse to force Cai Jing to resign.
But this time, he still didn't refuse, stepped forward to hold Cai Jing's vein, and after a while, he said: "The old man is a sign of a hanging vein, he is worried and thoughtful, and his heart is more angry, but it is no big problem, he just needs to recuperate......"
"If you can do things well, you don't need to worry about it too much, you and I can be quiet in the countryside, recuperate quietly, and live for a few more years, so as not to be angry with you, an unfilial son!"
Cai You was scolded speechless.
Taking this opportunity, after Haosheng taught Cai You a lesson, Cai Jing was very satisfied, and then said slowly: "Are you here today just to see when you and I will die?" ”
Cold sweat broke out on Cai You's head, and he said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I heard that the old man entered the palace, and I came to congratulate the old man, the official family still remembers the old man, as long as the old man is a little better, he can recover again." ”
"Hmph, you don't know that little bit of ghost thoughts, the old man still doesn't know? You son of a, just rest assured, now is not the time for the old man to come out of the mountain, if you don't wait for you to make a mess, how can the old man have the opportunity to come out and clean up the mess? ”
Even though Cai Jing was still scolding, Cai You felt very happy in his heart, he couldn't hold back a smile and arched his hand: "Then the official family summons the boss today......
"The official family wants me to be a matchmaker." Cai Jing stroked his beard, and an inexplicable light flashed in his faint old eyes: "This is a little strange, the old man has done everything in his life, and it is the first time to be a matchmaker for others." ”
"Matchmaking...... Could it be that Zhou Quan agreed, which His Royal Highness will marry him? ”
Cai Jing snorted and sneered: "Where is it so easy for Zhou Quan to agree, it is precisely because Zhou Quan has not yet had this intention that he needs the old man to come forward to persuade ...... This is not a good errand, the old man is old and frail, it is not suitable to travel far, Zhou Quan will definitely not return to Beijing now, things are a little annoying! ”
When Cai You heard this, he also felt that things were unreliable.
Although it is said that the emperor's daughter does not worry about marrying, it also depends on who she marries and what family she marries.
But for Zhou Quan, where is he rare princess, the princess of Liao, didn't he be abducted by him?
"This matter is indeed extremely difficult...... Cai You asked himself if there was no way, and there was a difficult matter to trouble his son, lest Cai Jing calculate the matter of recovery, which was exactly what he wanted, and of course he would not give advice to his father.
After just chatting a few words, Cai You found an excuse to leave, and after he left, Cai Jing sneered twice.
Originally, he didn't want to take this matter, but when Zhao Ji saw him, he noticed something bad from Zhao Ji's mouth.
The financial difficulties of the imperial court forced Zhao Ji to only issue treasury bonds on a large scale, if this is the case, the next period of time in Beijing will be eventful, he will stay in Beijing, and he will have to take some responsibility in the future, it is better to use the excuse to go out of Beijing as a matchmaker, and stay away from this place first.
As for whether it will work out or not...... Others may have no choice, how can he Cai Jing have no way?
It's just that the weather is very hot, and Cai Jing's trip to Beijing did not leave until mid-July.
His destination is not Jeju, after all, he is old, although his body is still quite strong, but he is still a little afraid of such a thing as floating to the sea.
At the beginning of the journey out of Beijing, it was very difficult to walk, but when they approached Yingtianfu, they took the train instead, which was already passable after more than a year of intensive construction.
At this time, the railway was different from the later railways, and there was not so much consideration, so it was relatively simple from survey to construction, and it should be known that the first railway in Britain was only built by the power of merchants, and it only took four years from preparation to completion. Now that the Beijing-Xuzhou Railway has been in preparation for four years, and the manpower mobilized is as high as one million, and the money spent can be described as a lot of money, it is not surprising that under such circumstances, it is not surprising that a part of the easy-to-repair section will be built and put into trial operation.
Although this section of the railway cannot take a steam locomotive, it has already amazed Cai Jing, and it only took him one day to travel a hundred miles and arrive at Yingtianfu, and he was praised again and again.
As the current Taishi, although he no longer has the actual position of prime minister, Cai Jing arrived and was still greeted by the civil and military officials of Ying Tianfu.
The first one is naturally Zong Ze.
After hearing Zong Ze's name, Cai Jing smiled and reached out to hold his arm: "Zong Rulin is the pillar of the country, and the old man has heard of the name for a long time, but he hates not having a chance to know." When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation, no wonder I was able to predict the defeat of Fa Yan with Ji Guogong...... Alas, ashamed and ashamed, it is still the wisdom of the public of Jiguo, and he has repeatedly recommended Zong Taishou to the imperial court, the old man did not think so, and when he wanted to face up to this matter, he was sick again, otherwise according to Rulin's talent, he should be ranked in power! ”
Just listen to this, that is, Cai Jing is retired now, so he has no burden, dare to say so. If he was still above the phase, he would never say this, after all, with Zong Ze's talent, it was entirely possible to threaten his phase.
Zong Ze has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and of course he will not be coaxed by his few words.
After a few words of chatter on both sides, they both understood in their hearts that they were not all the way to each other.
Goodbye to the rest of the officials, it was Zong Ze who introduced everyone to Cai Jing. However, without waiting for Zong Ze's introduction, Cai Jing walked to one of them, grabbed this person's arm, and said very closely: "Zhou Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, the old man misses it very much!" ”
The one he called Zhou Gong was Zhou Fu.
In recent years, Zhou Quan has been shining brightly, and many people have ignored Zhou Fu, who is silently presiding over the Beijing-Xu Railway on the construction site. At this time, Zhou Fu was only in his forties, less than half a hundred, and he was in the prime of life. Cai Jing was so affectionate, and between talking and laughing, he did not regard himself as a senior like he did to Zong Ze, which surprised everyone around him.
It's Zhou Fu himself, who has been an official for a long time and has seen a lot, and he can't help but be a little flattered at this time.
"It is said that the relationship between Ji Guogong and Taishi Cai is extraordinary, and now it seems that the rumors are true, just look at Taishi Cai's closeness to Zhou Shilang, and the two families are only afraid that they are still good friends!"
Seeing this, the surrounding officials had different moods.
Zhou Fu has been the squire of the Ministry of Works for several years, and in terms of rank and title alone, he is the highest among the officials here, just because Zong Ze is the chief official of the Ying Tianfu, so he is second in line to meet Cai Jing.
Zong Ze set up a banquet to entertain Cai Jing, although the two were not all the way, but this kind of official scene still had to be maintained. For a while, the guests and hosts were happy, but when the officials dispersed, Cai Jing grabbed Zhou Fu and said slowly: "I and Jiguo Gong are friends who have forgotten their years, so they are good friends with Jun Nai, people are old and young, and I also ask Zhou Shilang to stay, I want to talk with Shilang at night." ”
Everyone knew that this was a secret for the two of them, and they dispersed.
Cai Jing is naturally here to live in a post station, because of the influence of Xuzhou, the post station here is built quite new, Cai Jing is not unaccustomed. Guiding Zhou Fu to the living room, Cai Jing asked about repairing the railway, and Zhou Fu answered one by one, but he muttered a little in his heart.
But Cai Jing is very good at observing faces, and soon the topic turned to their respective families, Cai Jing first expressed his troubles, talked about the dispute between his sons, and then asked with concern: "How many children does Zhou Shilang have now?" ”
Zhou Fu was a little embarrassed: "It's just a son." ”
Picking up the teacup, Cai Jing pondered for a while, and then said: "Although my sons are not filial, there is an old saying, it is good to have more sons and more blessings, and the squire only has one son, so I have to hope to have more grandchildren...... It's just that as far as I know, Jeguo Gong has not had any heirs until now. I am a good friend of your family, so I don't take the liberty to ask, do you need me to introduce a medicine? ”
Zhou Fu was heartbroken, this has always been a big concern for him and Zhou's mother!
Whether their family is rich or powerful, it can be said that it is rare in the world now, but the absence of an heir makes all this seem unstable.
Zhou Quan and Yu Liyan have been married for a long time, but they still have no heirs, so Zhou's mother has been encouraging Zhou Quan to take his teacher and Liang Hongyu into the house, but there is no movement.
"Could it be that Master Cai has a recipe?"
"It's not my magic formula, but the magic prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, and there are many heirs today, and this is related to it...... However, if you want to have children, you also need to have a suitable wife and concubine in the house. I heard that Jiguo Gong still has no wife, so I pondered a family affair and wanted to talk about it with Jiguo Gong. It's just that this marriage matter, in the end, the parents must be the master, so I first went to the squire to find out, if the squire thinks it is okay, I will go to Jiguo Gong and say, if the squire feels that I don't need to be nosy, I will not bother Jiguo Gong with this matter! Cai Jing said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
