Chapter 2021: Misunderstanding (Part I)
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, when it comes to Guo Ye's status and status, is now much higher than the prime minister.
Qin Ying, who is his personal guard, is rising, and after he goes out, he can be regarded as a character. What's more, he also brought Guo Ye's handwritten letter, which he came on order.
Xu Xiaode didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened the middle door and welcomed him into the living room.
The two sides are seated separately.
After a period of greetings, Xu Xiaode coughed lightly and said, "Brother Qin, what crime did this person you arrest commit?" Why didn't you send it to Yousi, but brought it to the old man's house? ”
"Hey, you don't know yet? That's what happened......"
Listening to Qin Ying tell the story of the incident as it was, Xu Xiaode smiled bitterly and said, "You misunderstood, that kid is telling the truth." ”
"Real...... Truth? ”
"Not bad. Brother Qin, please think about it, this Furong Garden Wenhui is clearly talking about meeting friends with literature, but in fact, it is recruiting relatives by comparing literature. How can an old man send an invitation to all poor people? Could it be that I still want to marry my little girl to a poor ghost? ”
"Uh...... That's just as well. In this way, it is impossible to exchange an invitation for 20 yuan of money? ”
"That's natural, the people who receive the invitations don't say that they are all wealthy, but those who have a family property of less than 10,000 yuan are absolutely none. Sell the invitation for twenty dollars, and no one can afford to lose that person. Therefore, anyone who sells invitations must be liars. ”
Qin Yingyi frowned and said, "No, that kid said that most of the people in front of the door are buying and selling invitations." Could it be that these people are liars? ”
Xu Xiaode said with a bitter face: "It's really all." Alas, the old man is worried, so many people have bought fake invitations, I really don't know how this matter will end. ”
"You always know they're liars, why don't you stop them?"
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk! I'm a little six-rank official, powerless and powerless, how can I step forward to stop it? Is it to send someone to disperse? Or is it an officer? If you disperse, I don't have any manpower. If you want to report to the official, I don't have any credentials. ”
"How many voices did the gang shout outside? Or write something and stick it outside? ”
"Shouted, no one believed it! And they said that there were no three hundred taels of silver in this place. To put it bluntly, if you really come here to try your luck, the brain melon is not very good. Twenty dollars to buy an invitation? How can it be so cheap? It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words! ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Qin Ying couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he handed over the letter and said, "This is a letter from King Qin to your elder." ”
Xu Xiaode took the letter, opened the cover, took out the letter, swept it roughly, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said, "Uh...... I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, the old man can't be the master of what King Qin said, I have to discuss it with the little girl. ”
Qin Ying thought about it again, he nodded, and said, "It should be, it should be, of course I have to ask Xu Xiaoniang about this matter." I understand that this kind of thing is not enough for you to agree, and the opinion of the little lady is also very important, and the twisted melon is not sweet. It's okay, just ask, you'll be waiting here. ”
"Then you wait, the old man will be out of company."
……
……
Xu Xiaode came to the back house to see the girl, and while handing over the letter, he sighed: "Woe! Woe to you! Alas, I originally wanted to find you a wishful husband, but who would have thought that he would recruit this person. ”
Xu Hui received the letter, looked at the payment first, and couldn't help but be surprised: "King Qin's Chitose? ”
"It's not him! If it were someone else, I would still be able to beg the prince. Anyway, I also served as the chief of the right guard of the Prince's Mansion for a few days. The prince can always help me cover up. But this is the King of Qin! The crown prince won't offend King Qin for me, right? How good is that? ”
Xu Hui was not so alarmed, and said, "Daddy, don't worry, isn't it King Qin?" Even if he really has a crush on his daughter, that's not a bad thing. I heard that this person is only in his early thirties this year, and he looks like a talent, and his daughter marrying him is not a grievance. ”
"That's not going to happen!" Xu Xiaode's eyes widened, and he said: "I am such a good daughter, if I want to be literary and good-looking, how can I be a concubine?" ”
"Of course, it is not possible to be a concubine for ordinary people, but King Qin Chitose is different from ordinary people. He was born as a son-in-law, and he has done great deeds on his own, and he is really a great hero. As the saying goes, it is better to give a good man a horse to a fall than to be an ancestor of Lai Hanzi. ”
"That's not going to work either!" Xu Xiaode said categorically: "There are more heroes in the world, why do you have to marry a married man?" Don't say it's the King of Qin, even if it's today, I can't let you be a concubine. ”
"Look at what you said, if Your Majesty really wants me to enter the palace, can you still stop me?"
"I ...... Of course I can't stop it. Xu Xiaode sighed slightly and said, "However, all in all, if there is a little possibility, I will not let you be a concubine." ”
"Okay, good, my daughter knows that my father loves me the most, I listen to you. Then I'll take a look, what is written on King Qin's letter? ”
Speaking of which, Xu Hui read the letter carefully.
To be honest, it's no wonder that Lao Xu misunderstood, Guo Ye's letter was indeed vaguely written. Of course, Guo Ye is not to blame, he did this a little inauthenticly, and of course he didn't want to write too straightforwardly.
The general meaning of this letter is that he heard that Xu Hui, the first beauty in Chang'an, was going to hold a literary meeting in Furong Garden, and he Guo Ye heard about it, of course, he longed for it. However, I later heard that you had to have an invitation to enter.
I don't have much friendship with Lao Xu, and of course I didn't receive any invitations. So, I was cheeky and wrote a letter, asking Xu Xiaode to give a few blank invitations. When the time comes, he will bring a few people to the meeting. I hope Lao Xu will give this face.
After reading it, Xu Hui was slightly disappointed, and said, "Daddy, did you misunderstand, people Qin Wang Chitose didn't say that he had a crush on his daughter?" Maybe people are just curious, just want to come and have a look? ”
"Huh, curious? Do you believe that? According to the old man, he is just self-respecting and refuses to say it clearly. When the time comes, he will reveal his identity, who will dare to compete with him? The lesson of Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is in front of him! ”
Xu Hui said: "That's okay. Our Furong Garden Cultural Association, but I didn't say that whoever won the first place would marry him. ”
"Having said that, how can we, a small family, argue with King Qin? If he really takes the lead, even if he is caught, can we really resist it? ”
"Daddy, don't be too pessimistic, or you can go and probe that Qin Ying's tone again. It's really impossible to do anything, let's discuss it again. ”
"That's fine. But how do I reply to this invitation? ”
Xu Hui rolled his eyes and said, "It turns out that the method we used to send the invitation seems to be really ill-considered." Even if there is no such thing as King Qin, there are so many fake invitations outside, we have to find a way to rectify it. ”
"How to remediate?"
"The rules of the Furong Garden Cultural Club should be changed, of course those who have an invitation on the day can enter, but there is no invitation or the invitation is fake, as long as you pay a hundred yuan to come in."
"That's not a lot of ...... The wrong person? ”
Xu Hui smiled bitterly: "That can't be helped." Otherwise, these people who bought fake invitations will be able to give up? Besides, our previous method is indeed a bit too offensive now. You are a six-grade official, after the incident, can you really bear it? ”
"That'...... Well, as you say. Xu Xiaode stood up and said, "As soon as this rule is changed, a few blank invitations will not matter, I will give it to him." ”
When he said this, he was about to go out, and Xu Hui hurriedly advised: "You also have to ask clearly, what does King Qin mean." ”
"For the Father to understand!"
Xu Xiaode immediately shook his spirits and came to the living room.
He handed over a stack of invitations first, and said, "What King Qin explained, Xiao Lao'er has done it." However, I still have a few questions, and I would like to ask Brother Qin. ”
