Chapter 280: Forcing People with Force

readx; The arrival of Dugu Haoran made Mrs. Pei unable to say any more, she could adjust her daughter's seat on her own initiative, but she could not replace her husband to announce her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Pei sat down slowly, looking at her husband vigilantly, she had secretly made up her mind, as long as her husband dared to abolish Mingyue's marriage, she would tear her face and fight her husband to the end, Dugu Haoran walked over expressionlessly, he didn't look at his wife, and walked over to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, I was unwell just now, and I came a step late." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"If it's late, you'll be fined three glasses of wine!" Someone shouted loudly.

Dugu Haoran smiled, poured himself three glasses of wine, drank it one by one, and showed everyone the cup outward, there was applause in the lobby, Dugu Haoran waved his hand and smiled: "Everyone eat and drink at will!" It's all your own family, don't be restrained. ”

After that, he sat down, without mentioning the purpose of this banquet, and the hall was lively again, laughing continuously, and looking at the emptiness, Mrs. Pei asked her husband in a low voice, "What do you want?" ”

Dugu Haoran glanced at his wife coldly, but ignored her, still drinking his wine unhurriedly, just now he saw his two daughters at the window, he suddenly had a thought, why can't he give the younger daughter to Li Qing'an and let the eldest daughter enter the palace, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds.

He thought all the way into the lobby, but he happened to see Mingyue pouring wine for Li Qingan, he suddenly sobered up again, with Li Qingan's current identity, he didn't like the Dugu family, he fancied his eldest daughter, if Mingyue was replaced by Mingyue, Li Qingan might not buy it, but in any case, he wanted to talk to Li Qingan, so he dispelled the idea of regretting the marriage in public, and it was best not to talk about the marriage today.

"Madam, I don't want to regret the marriage, but I want to think about the marriage again, so don't announce it today!" Dugu Haoran said his plan very coldly.

"But master, the wedding date can not be announced, but at least the matter of Mingyue and Li Gongzi officially marrying the clan should be announced!"

Mrs. Pei is so shrewd, she knows her husband's mind well, since her husband said that he would not announce the marriage date, then he must want to achieve his goal in a roundabout way, whether he is openly repentant of marriage or repentance of marriage, Mrs. Pei will resolutely not agree, Mrs. Pei is the daughter of the Pei family of the Hedong family, the good education and rigorous family style of the famous family make her very different from ordinary women, on the one hand, she respects her husband, but on the other hand, she adheres to the principle and refuses to compromise easily, especially in the education of children and lifelong affairs, She is even more stubborn, so although her husband proposed not to announce the marriage date for the time being, she still insisted on clarifying the marriage between the two.

His wife's stubbornness rekindled the anger that Dugu Haoran had just suppressed, he clenched his fists and secretly stabbed his wife, gritted his teeth and whispered: "I have already let you take a step, are you still stubborn?" ”

"Then you promise me first, you will never obstruct Mingyue's marriage, you have to promise me that you will never mention Mingyue's entry into the palace again."

"I know this, don't threaten me."

"Nope! I want you to say yes. ”

The quarrel between Dugu Haoran and his wife was first discovered by Mingzhu, she, like her sister, was also puzzled by her father's delay in coming to the banquet, but her curiosity far exceeded that of ordinary people, when her father sat down, her ears were pricked up, and she listened to her parents' whispered quarrel word by word, she was so frightened that her heart stopped beating, it turned out that her father wanted her sister to enter the palace, oh my God! How does this work?

Mingzhu was shocked and panicked in her heart, all the thoughts in her mind were to tell her sister the news, tell Li Qing'an, and even what the consequences would be if she said it, she didn't care about it, she slowly lifted the tablecloth on the table, dipped her fingers in the wine, and wrote word by word on the dark table: "Father wants you to enter the palace!" ”

At first, Mingyue didn't understand the meaning of her sister's lifting of the tablecloth, and when she saw what was written on the table, she was suddenly shocked that her hands and feet were cold, at this time, she felt a warm big hand holding her hand, Mingyue turned her head suddenly, only to see Li Qingan shook his head at himself, his eyes glanced at the handwriting on the table, and then looked at himself, with a confident smile on his face, and there were only four words in his eyes: 'Don't worry!' ’

Li Qing'an's self-confidence calmed Mingyue's flustered heart a little, she slightly flexed her jade fingers, and wrote on Li Qing'an's palm: "What should I do? ’

The beauty was smart enough to make Li Qingan nod secretly, and he also slowly, one stroke at a time, wrote in Mingyue's palm: "I already know, I have made arrangements!" ”

Since Yang Guifei hinted at him in Huaqing Palace, Li Longji was afraid that he had an intention for Mingyue, Li Qingan paid attention to this matter, this afternoon, Li Longji was very impatient when he summoned him, and he wanted to drive him away immediately, he felt a little abnormal in his heart, but he met Dugu Haoran at the gate of the palace, this coincidence made him suspicious, could it be that Li Longji was afraid that he would encounter Dugu Haoran, so he drove himself away in such a gaffe? Coupled with the warning of the concubine, Li Qingan began to suspect Li Longji's motive for summoning Dugu Haoran, and why he wanted to promote Dugu Haoran, the suspicious signs made him vigilant in his heart, Mingzhu's message confirmed the correctness of his guess in his heart, Li Longji really wanted to open the gap from Dugu Haoran, the current situation is very delicate, Li Longji did not dare to rob openly, he could only steal secretly, and let Dugu Haoran be a villain, but is he Li Qingan so easy to be tricked?

Mrs. Pei also realized that her voice was a little higher, which had attracted the attention of many people, at the banquet where so many people gathered, their husband and wife really couldn't turn their faces, Mrs. Pei held back her breath, sat there gloomy and didn't say a word, but Dugu Haoran slowly warmed up, he frequently raised a glass with the surrounding clansmen to persuade wine, laughter continued, at this moment, the housekeeper of Dugu Mansion hurriedly ran into the lobby, came to Dugu Haoran and whispered a few words in his ear, Dugu Haoran was stunned, and immediately got up and said: "Quick!" Please! ”

"Master, who's coming?" Mrs. Pei couldn't help but ask.

"Colliers and Lee Sang-kook are both coming together!" Dugu Haoran threw down a sentence and hurried out to greet him.

Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up, these two people came in time, she couldn't help but look back at Li Qing'an, only to see Li Qing'an smile at her, lightly raised the wine glass, Mrs. Pei had an epiphany in her heart, and a clenched heart suddenly relaxed.

Gao Lishi is with his wife Lu Shi, in Li Qing'an's marriage, he acts as the man's family, the early various rituals are Gao Lishi's wife Lu Shi and Mrs. Pei completed together, today is the date of the invitation, it is determined by the woman, Gao Lishi and his wife can come, not to come, because Li Qingan himself participated, Gao Lishi and his wife did not plan to come, but what happened in Xingqing Palace in the afternoon made Gao Lishi unable to sit still, at the request of Li Qing'an, Gao Lishi ordered someone to send a letter to Li Linfu, He took his wife to Dugu's house.

Although Gao Lishi has lost his position, his residual power is still there, Dugu Haoran did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Gao Weng's visit to the cold house has made Peng Chuan shine, and Haoran has lost his distance." ”

Gao Lishi smiled slightly: "Today, the happy event of Dugu's family is coming, how can I, as a relative of the man, not come?" ”

At this time, Li Linfu also walked in, after Li Qingan broke Yang Guozhong's game, Li Linfu's spirit was much better, although he was still weak, but at least he could walk down the ground, and his concubine helped him down the steps.

"Lonely envoy, you won't blame the old man for coming uninvited!" Li Linfu still had his signature smile on his face, although his voice was not loud, but it was clear to people.

Dugu Haoran was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "What are you talking about, Xiangguo is coming to the cold house, I can't even invite you." ”

Li Linfu smiled and nodded, and said to Gao Lishi and his wife: "Gao Weng, sister-in-law, you are the man's elders, I don't know if there are witnesses?" ”

Gao Lishi's wife Lu Shi said with a smile: "Today is the invitation period, and only after the marriage date is set can the master of ceremonies, witnesses and the like be discussed, if Xiangguo is interested, then I will discuss it with Mingyue's mother, and I will entrust Xiangguo to witness the marriage." ”

Li Linfu said with a smile: "I have this intention, and being able to be a witness to Li Qing'an is also a great fun thing in life." ”

Dugu Haoran secretly complained in his heart, he had just made up his mind not to announce the marriage date today, but things suddenly changed, Gao Lishi and Li Linfu came, what should I do?

At this time, Li Qingan also walked out, and Lao Yuan clasped his fists and saluted, and said in surprise: "Gao Weng, Xiangguo, why are you two here?" ”

Gao Lishi deliberately displeased: "Can't we come?" ”

He said to Li Linfu again: "Xiangguo, look at this kid, the overjoyed son actually didn't let us come." ”

Li Linfu also smiled: "This is Dugu Mansion, if we don't come, he can't be the master, Dugu Envoy, you say yes!" ”

"Yes! Be! Be! Dugu Haoran said in a loud voice: "Gao Weng, Xiangguo, please come to the lobby." ”

Mrs. Pei walked to the door of the lobby early and waited, she saw Gao Lishi and Li Linfu open an invitation and close their mouths to witness the marriage, her heart was overjoyed, with the arrival of these two important ministers of the court, her husband did not dare to regret the marriage at will.

She hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Welcome Gao Weng, welcome Xiangguo!" ”

Gao Lishi's wife Lu Shi had a good relationship with her, and hurriedly stepped forward to take her arm and smiled: "We're not late!" Has the wedding date been announced? ”

"It's not announced yet! You've come just in time, please sit inside! ”

Gao Lishi and Li Linfu walked into the lobby, the Dugu people all stood up one after another, several brothers of Dugu Haoran hurriedly rearranged their seats, Li Qingan and Mingyue sisters' seats moved to the side, and a long table was added next to Dugu and his wife for Gao Lishi and Li Linfu.

The two sat down, and Gao Lishi smiled and said to the Dugu couple: "What I care about most is when the wedding date is scheduled, which is exciting!" ”

Mrs. Pei hurriedly smiled and said: "Qilang doesn't have much time in Chang'an, I'll try to keep it short, last night I discussed with Mingyue's father on February 15, I don't know what you think?" ”

"February 15, yes! The time is a little tighter, there are still five days, I'm afraid it will be very rushed, I also asked when I came, February 18 is an auspicious day, and the time is a little calmer, Dugu envoy, what do you think? Colliers asked solemnly.

Dugu Haoran was embarrassed in his heart, whether he set the time forward or pushed back, it meant that he agreed, if it was the Dugu people, it would be fine, but now it is Gao Lishi and Li Linfu, these two people he can't afford to offend, and now he has to answer, he laughed dryly and said: "Let me think about it, which day is appropriate?" ”

He said to think about it, but his mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures, what should he do now? There was silence in the lobby, all waiting for his reply.

At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly shouted: "General Ge Shuhan is envoy to Longyou Jiedu, and General Gao Xianzhi is envoy to Jiannan Jiedu!" ”

Then someone shouted: "His Royal Highness King Liang, King Guangping, King Jingzhao Yin have arrived!" ”

In the lobby 'Buzz! The ground exploded, Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi actually came, Li Heng and Wang Heng also arrived, all of them were heavyweights, many people reacted immediately, Ge Shuhan and Li Qing'an had a friendship in the battle of Shibao City, Gao Xianzhi was Li Qing'an's old boss, Li Heng and his son needless to say, Wang Heng's arrival is the relationship between Li Linfu, but speaking of it, it is Li Qing'an's face, if there is no Li Qing'an, who of these people is willing to come?

Several brothers of the Dugu family panicked and wanted to set up their seats again, where is this still a gathering of Dugu people? It's almost a day.

The Dugu couple had already greeted them, but Li Qingan didn't move, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine slowly, and smiled at Mingyue in a low voice: "Accident?" ”

Mingyue was surprised for a while, and whispered, "Li Lang, did you arrange it?" ”

"It can be said that it is me, or it can be said that it is not me, it is my idea that is good, but Gao Weng arranged it single-handedly, and I don't have time."

"But how do you know that my father will mean that today?"

Li Qingan put the empty cup in front of her and said with a smile: "You pour me wine first, and I'll tell you the reason." ”

Mingyue glanced at him, picked up the flask and poured him a glass of wine, "It's okay now!" Tell me, how do you know? ”

Li Qingan picked up the wine glass and took a leisurely sip, but said with a faint smile: "If I can't even think of this little thing, am I still worthy of being the envoy of the Anxi Festival?" ”

"Self-righteous!" Mingyue whispered to him, but she couldn't help but smile on her face, now her father had nothing to do.

At this time, Mingzhu sighed softly, "It's good to have power!" ”

........ The sound of footsteps outside the lobby came, and a large group of people walked in a moment, walking in front of Li Heng, next to him was Gao Xianzhi, Li Qingan had not seen Gao Xianzhi for more than two years, he was still no different from before, but it seemed a little more elegant, it seems that Bashan Shushui is far more than the yellow sand desert to raise people, Li Qingan suddenly remembered Gao Wu, I heard that she joined the army, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the war against Nanzhao, and was specially named Zhonglang General, I don't know if this female general also entered Beijing with her father, there should be no, if she enters Beijing, She should have come with her father.

"What a Li Qing'an, is he going to get married just like this?"

Ge Shuhan's eyes were sharp, and he saw Li Qing'an at a glance, he walked up with a big laugh, Li Qing'an also stood up, and said with a smile: "Then when you married a wife, why didn't you call me anything?" ”

Ge Shuhan gave him a punch in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "When I got married, you were still breastfeeding!" ”

He glanced at Du Mingyue, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "My brother-in-law is really beautiful, isn't it a pity to marry this kid, you should marry my brother Shu." ”

After that, he laughed, everyone frowned when they saw him rude, Mingyue's face was also a little red, but Li Qingan smiled slightly: "If you want to take away my Mingyue, then let's exchange and transfer your 30,000 Hehuang army to Anxi again, okay?" ”

Ge Shuhan is rough on the surface, but he is very careful, he came over today, on the one hand, it is to give Li Qing'an face, but he has always been a little resentful of Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an wanted to take away his 30,000 elite Longyou army, but never returned, so he praised Mingyue, in fact, he was a little ridiculed Li Qing'an, but Li Qing'an quietly counterattacked him, pointing directly at his Hehuang army, Ge Shuhan's heart was awe-inspiring, he hurriedly snorted, and said with a smile: "I'm a rough man who can't speak, Where do I dare to take General Li's wife, come! I punished myself with three glasses of wine. ”

He stretched out his hand, "Bring me the horn glass!" ”

Someone hurriedly took a large cup of horns, and poured it full of wine, Ge Shuhan drank three cups in a row, squinted at Li Qingan and smiled: "Brother Xian, brother, I'll give you face!" ”

Li Qingan also beckoned, "Come and don't go, it's rude, give me a full load!" ”

Mingyue saw that the big cup of horns could hold at least a pound of wine, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Li Lang, drink less." ”

At this time, Gao Xianzhi walked up and said with a smile: "Miss Mingyue, don't worry, when General Li was promoted to lieutenant back then, he was poured thirty big bowls, and these three glasses of wine are nothing to him." ”

Having said this, Mingyue was still a little worried about Li Qingan, but Li Qingan took the big cup of horns and drank three cups in a row, and his face did not change.

"Good!" Ge Shuhan shouted, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Xian is really happy, although today is not the wedding of Brother Xian, but it will also be the marriage is officially decided, my brother Shuhan can witness this moment, and he also shares the glory of the Anxi Army." ”

"It's an honor!"

Li Heng walked up with his son Li Jiao, he sighed slightly: "The general fought bloodily for the country, and he only married a wife until the age of his establishment, which is not only the glory of the Anxi army, but also the glory of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and I will definitely come to congratulate General Li on the day he officially got married." ”

He turned back to his son and said: "Yu'er, there are three major festival envoys in front of you, they are all the pillars of my Datang, if you lose them, the Datang Mansion will fall, you have to remember." ”

Li Jiao glanced at Mingyue with complicated eyes, and promised, "The child remembers." ”

"Remember, why don't you give a salute to the three generals?"

Li Jiao didn't dare to disobey his father's order, and hurriedly gave Li Qing'an, Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi a salute each, and said: "Li Jiao gave a salute to the three generals, and implored the three generals to take care of Li Jiao more." ”

Li Heng's father and son's words were quite strange, Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi glanced at each other, their eyes showed puzzled looks, but Li Qingan replied: "The emperor's eldest grandson is humble and vain, Li Qing'an admires it, today the emperor's eldest grandson came to congratulate him in person, Li Qing'an should remember it." ”

At this time, Gao Lishi smiled and said: "Don't greet each other, everyone is waiting, don't let the master wait." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, this time, Dugu Haoran was finally powerless, no matter how much he had ideas, he couldn't withstand the pressure of so many powerful ministers, he shook his head, and said to his wife helplessly: "You won!" ”

Mrs. Pei's heart was overjoyed, and she laughed in a low voice: "Master, it was originally true, Li Qing'an and Mingyue's marriage is known all over Chang'an, if you really want to regret the marriage, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Dugu Haoran sighed secretly, there was really no way, but let him announce that he couldn't let go of this face, so he said: "You come to announce, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Mrs. Pei was about to stand up, but a few people walked quickly outside the hall, but it was a few eunuchs, and the first eunuch stood at the door of the hall and said loudly: "The noble concubine Niangniang sent a congratulatory ceremony, wishing General Li and Miss Mingyue an early marriage date and an early marriage for a hundred years!" ”

There was an uproar in the hall, a small invitation, not only so many important ministers came, but even the concubine Niangniang was alarmed, Dugu Haoran was stunned, for a long time, he sighed, and finally stood up and said: "Everyone, please be quiet!" I will officially announce the date of marriage. ”
