Chapter 180: Matchmaker

"Well, Xia Guan has always been tired of official affairs, so he doesn't have time to think about his life's events."

What can Shi Wei say to Zhao Pu, saying that he has a marriage contract with a girl who is less than ten years old, or that he has too many relatives in his family and does not know which one to marry.

It is obviously not a wise thing to say in front of the prime minister how "inappropriate" his private life is.

A smile rose at the corner of Zhao Pu's mouth, and that smile was full of distrust.

Shi Wei suddenly realized that with this excuse he made up casually, how could he easily fool Zhao Pu.

"Hehe, Zhao Xiang, let's drink." Shi Wei started haha, wanting to divert the topic.

Zhao Pu didn't penetrate him, and drank another drink with him.

After the wine was lowered, Zhao Puhu said earnestly: "Yuanzhi, the so-called starting a family and starting a business, the two should not be wasted, and someone in the family can take care of their daily life in order to do better things for the court, don't you say." ”

Shi Weixin said that how could this old thing care about his personal problems, and he couldn't ask directly, so he had to nod his head and say yes.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Pu's expression suddenly became weird.

Shi Wei had a hunch that nothing good was going on, and that this cunning old fox was probably planning something bad.

Shi Wei only pretended not to know and ate with his head bored.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think of my family Min'er?"

Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart What do you mean by asking, do you still want to reconcile me and your daughter?

"Miss Min is very good, very filial, and a rare good girl." Shi Wei pretended to be confused and pretended to make an objective evaluation.

Zhao Pu looked at Shi Wei with a smile, as if he was staring at a treasure.

Shi Wei was uncomfortable by him, and asked for the surname to say: "Zhao Xiang, do you have anything you want to say to the lower officials, just say it directly, you don't need to turn around." ”

Zhao Pu coughed a few times, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's the case, Yuanzhi, since you don't have a wife, my family Min'er is also in the boudoir, so I, a father, am cheeky and want to be a matchmaker for my daughter, what do you think." ”

Sure enough, they plan to recruit me as a son-in-law...... Although Shi Wei had been mentally prepared before, he still felt a little surprised when Zhao Pu said it himself.

"Zhao Xiang, you are ...... You're a little ...... for your subordinates Somewhat....... Shi Wei pretended to be a little flattered.

He was wondering in his heart, why Zhao Pu fell in love with him, and he actually had an old face, put down the prime minister's shelf, and personally "proposed" his daughter.

His mind was spinning fast, and he figured it out after a little thought.

Shi Weiguan served as the medical envoy of Hanlin, and although his official position was not big, he was so red and purple.

He is first of all a confidant under Zhao Dezhao's curtain, and if Dezhao succeeds to the throne as emperor in the future, he Shi Wei is indispensable, and it is a sure thing to be reused in the new dynasty.

In addition, he saved the life of Madame Hua Rui, cured the strange illness of the Son of Heaven, and is also a person who is highly appreciated by today's saints.

Such a person who is trusted and respected by the Zhao family's father and son at the same time is one of the few in the entire imperial court.

Shi Wei's background, with a person like Zhao Pu, how could he not know.

If you can recruit such a figure to be your son-in-law, it will undoubtedly be an excellent political marriage.

Shi Wei guessed that Zhao Pu probably thought so.

Zhao Pu looked at Shi Wei's flattered appearance, thinking that Shi Wei was moved by his kindness, and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, you don't have to be surprised, the old man feels that you are Min'er's savior, which shows that you two juniors are destined, both are destined, and the old man looks at you with good character, so I think that the two of you are very good match." ”

Zhao Pu kept saying what kind of fate, population, without mentioning Shi Wei's political background, he seemed to be bent on finding a good home for his daughter, and he didn't care about his family background at all.

Shi Wei was humble and laughed at himself: "Zhao Xiangnai was the ruler of the dynasty and the founding father, but the subordinate was born in a slight poverty and had a slight character and learning, so I really feel that I am not worthy of Miss Min'er." ”

Zhao Pu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, why should you be humble, the so-called hero doesn't ask about his background, what the old man values is your character, your self-motivation, what is from a poor family, the old man doesn't pay attention to it at all." ”

Seeing Zhao Pu's words, it seemed that he was determined to recruit himself as his son-in-law, and Shi Wei was embarrassed now.

In fact, as Zhao Pu, if he can marry Zhao Min, it will only be beneficial to his career and harmless, and this marriage should have been agreed to in one go.

It's just that he had a marriage contract with Mu Guiying before, and he didn't believe in this kind of thing, and it was not his own style, and it was spread out, but he was afraid that others would talk about him climbing the dragon and the phoenix.

For a while, Shi Wei was a little uncertain, and he decided if it was not easy to make.

Zhao Pu saw that he seemed to hesitate, but he didn't force him anymore, and said with a smile: "Marriage is a big deal, it's a big deal, you don't have to make a decision now, you can go back and think about it, you don't have to rush to reply to the old man." ”

Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "In any case, the lower officials are very grateful to Zhao Xiang for your appreciation, and the lower officials give Zhao Xiang a cup." ”

As soon as the topic was introduced, Zhao Pu stopped being a matchmaker, and only accompanied Shi Wei to drink one cup after another.

Although Zhao Pu looked as thin as a hanger, perhaps in response to the prime minister's sentence that he could support a boat in his stomach, his amount of alcohol was amazing, and after a few rounds of drinking, Shi Wei was already seven points drunk, but he couldn't put him down.

After drinking like this, it was obvious that he couldn't go back to the house, and Zhao Pu was also hospitable, and stayed in the house that night.

After washing and tossing for a long time, he felt tired when he was half drunk and half awake, and fell asleep in the wing room of Zhao's mansion.

In the middle of the night, he dreamed of the day's events again in a daze.

He dreamed that he was righteous and awe-inspiring to persuade Zhao Kuangyin to kill him, but Zhao Kuangyin was kind to a woman and refused to attack his own brother.

In the end, he provoked Zhao Kuangyin, and was ordered to be imprisoned by Zhao Kuangyin.

"Zhao Kuangyin, if you don't kill your brother, you will regret it, believe me-"

In a hurry, he was dragged out of the hall by the imperial guards, and when he was about to go out, his head hit the door frame, and the person woke up suddenly.

Shi Wei, who woke up, sat up on the bed suddenly, gasping for cold air, stunned for a long time, but realized that it was just a dream.

He touched his forehead and found that he was shocked by the dream.

"Zhao Kuangyin, you don't really play any woman's benevolence, do you......"

Shi Wei muttered, and at this time, he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he put on his clothes and went out to the yard to breathe.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a cold air mixed with snow white rushed to my face.

It's snowing.

Looking up at the night sky, large snowflakes fluttered and fell, and the entire Zhao family compound was covered with snow with thick soles, thinking that this snow had been falling for a while.

The snow fell silently, making the Zhao Mansion more and more quiet at night.

Shi Wei slipped into the courtyard, and met the Zhao family's night guard a few times on the way, thinking that there were thieves in the night, and when he saw that it was Shi Wei, he politely called out.

Before he knew it, he slipped to the edge of a small pond, where he stood in a pavilion, quietly watching the snowflakes fall into the water.

The silence of this snowy night gradually quieted Shi Wei's anxious heart.

He thought carefully about Zhao Guangyi's poisoning, and when he thought of Zhao Kuangyin's hesitant expression, he was very bottomless in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhao Kuangyin, if you can't make up your mind, then you have to let me help you make up your mind."

He muttered to himself, already having an idea in his mind.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me: "Lord Shi, you are really interested in not sleeping so late, but you came here to enjoy the snow scene." ”

It was a familiar woman's voice.

Shi Wei was shocked, and looked back sharply, but saw that the woman who came with a smile was Zhao Min.

Xu was thinking about it himself, so he didn't notice her footsteps.

She wore a cloak studded with fox velvet, held a cyan umbrella in her hand, and walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face.

Shi Wei's heart couldn't help but flutter.

Zhao Min walked into the pavilion, put away the umbrella, and shook the snow on the cloak.

When she looked up, she looked at Shi Wei's eyes in a trance, and a little flush swelled up on her face, and she lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Lord Shi, what are you looking at, do I have snowflakes on my face?" ”

Shi Wei came back to his senses with a cold war, and said with a smile: "No, the lower official saw Miss coming from the snow, and thought that he had met a fairy, so he lost his mind for a while, and hoped that Miss would forgive him." ”

If it is between two strangers, Shi Wei's words will be frivolous, and if he changes to a more reserved woman, he will probably turn his face at this time.

However, Zhao Min listened with an eyebrow in her eyes, lowered her head and smiled secretly, obviously Shi Wei's seemingly silly praise made her happy in her heart.

The beautiful scenery of the snowy night, the beauty is like jade, standing in front of him with such affection, the ripples in Shi Wei's heart are born from Xu Xu.

He was afraid that he would behave out of order, so he quickly twisted his head away and coughed a few times to hide the little embarrassment.

Zhao Min came over and stood side by side with him and asked, "Lord Shi, you haven't answered my question just now?" ”

Shi Wei was stunned for a moment before remembering what she had asked, and said: "There are some things in the heart of the lower officials that are difficult to determine, and it is difficult to sleep after tossing and turning, so they came out to breathe." ”

The difficult thing in Shi Wei's mouth is naturally about how to persuade Zhao Kuangyin to deal with the King of Jin, but Zhao Kuangyin has explained that this matter must not be made public, so it is not easy for him to reveal it to others, let alone Zhao Min, who is the daughter of the prime minister.

However, Zhao Min looked embarrassed when he heard this, obviously misunderstanding Shi Wei's meaning.

She hesitated for a moment, bit her red lip and said softly: "It made Shi Lang toss and turn and couldn't sleep, but Daddy mentioned the matter between you and me." ”
