readx; After saying goodbye to An Lushan, Li Qing'an's carriage continued to move forward, and after a short time, he drove into Wubenfang and drove towards Dugu's mansion, he needed to have a good talk with Dugu Haoran, and if he wanted to marry someone's daughter, the relationship should not be too stiff.

Since the last Dugu family banquet, the Dugu family began to prepare for the wedding nervously, especially Mrs. Pei was very busy, from the preparation of the banquet, the guest list, to the wording of the invitation, the daughter's wedding dress and other small things to her heart, her husband Dugu Haoran, from beginning to end, did not care about this matter.

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of women in the Dugu family, and women have a natural interest in things like marriage, Mrs. Pei has a lot of things to discuss, after lunch, Mrs. Pei and her mother-in-law Mrs. Wang discussed the guest list, Mrs. Wang is the widow of the deceased Dugu Shi, she is also unlucky, originally she also wanted to remarry Yuanzhou Taishou Ma Rong, the reason is that Ma Taishou wanted to marry her when she was only sixteen years old when she was young, but by mistake, Mrs. Wang married another person.

After more than 20 years, she remembered this love again, and Ma Taishou's original partner also died of fun, so that they could relive the old love of their youth, but as soon as they had this intention, Ma Taishou died of a heart attack due to excessive excitement, which disappointed Mrs. Wang's hopes, but fortunately they had not had time to exchange Wending, and the name was undecided, so she was still the widow of the Dugu family, but after this incident, her status in the Dugu family plummeted, and she surrendered to her daughter-in-law Mrs. Pei and became Mrs. Pei's housekeeper assistant. In the matter of Mingyue's marriage, she was also busy and dedicated to her efforts to redeem Mrs. Pei's tolerance for her.

"Madam, I went to see the lobby of Gaofu, it is indeed magnificent, it can accommodate at least three thousand people to eat, and there are two auxiliary halls, each with a thousand people, that is, five thousand people, Mrs. Gao said that Li Qingan has no family, some distant relatives are in Shaye, and his subordinates are also in Anxi, and they can't catch up, so the guests on the man's side are mainly court officials, and there are about seven or eight hundred people with their families, and the invitation has been sent out."

Mrs. Pei thought for a while and said: "Our side is mainly friends with the clansmen and the world, as well as relatives and friends of the Pei family, I calculated, there are more than 400 people, but each household can write an invitation, I estimate that only more than 200 copies are enough, please go to the Zhangji Printing Workshop again to see if our 300 invitations have been printed, and we must write today." ”

"Good! I'll go. Mrs. Wang stood up and was about to leave, but Mrs. Pei stopped her again, "I remember, the shopkeeper of Zhang Ji Printing Workshop wrote a good word, let's add more money, please write the guest's name together." ”

Mrs. Pei took out a booklet and handed it to her, "This is the list, if they want to write it, give it to them!" ”

"I know, I'll go."

As soon as Mrs. Wang left, a maid came in and reported: "Madam, the new aunt is here, I want to see the master!" ”

"Oh! Tell the master. ”

Mrs. Pei gave a few more instructions, and then rushed to the front yard, although Li Qingan is still a quasi-son-in-law, but he has a high status, as if he has become the first pillar of the Dugu family, and now when it comes to the lonely family outside, everyone will say that this is Li Qingan's father-in-law's family, and Li Qingan has become the backstage of the Dugu family.

The servants also stammered, and invited him to the guest room to wait, and boiled the best tea, and brought the best fine treats.

Soon, Mrs. Pei hurried over, and said with a smile when she entered the door: "Qilang came unfortunately, Mingyue and Mingzhu happened to go to my uncle's house." ”

Mingyue's uncle is Pei Min, who has just been promoted to the squire of the military department, he happened to report on his work in Chang'an, so he directly resigned from his old post and took up a new post, Li Qing'an returned to Chang'an this time, and he has not seen him yet, Pei Min was also one of the members of the East Palace Party, after Li Heng was deposed, he was also unfortunately demoted, and later promoted to Qizhou Taishou, this time Li Yu entered the East Palace, and Pei Min, who had a family background, was naturally reactivated.

Li Qingan hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not here to see Mingyue, I want to talk to my uncle." ”

"Hmmm! You want to have a good talk and clear up some misunderstandings, and I have sent someone to inform him. ”

Mrs. Pei asked Li Qing'an to sit down, and she asked in a low voice before Dugu Haoran came, "Qilang, have you ever thought about how to take Mingzhu away?" ”

This is what Mrs. Pei is most worried about, if Mingyue stays in Chang'an, Li Longji may not let her go, although she is already the wife of her subordinates, but Li Longji is the emperor, and she will not have too many worries, Mrs. Pei is even worried that Li Longji will attack her son-in-law in order to get her daughter.

Li Qingan smiled and said: "I have asked Gao Lishi to ask the concubine Niangniang to help, in this matter, we and the Yang family's interests are the same, I believe that the Yang family will consider this matter for us." ”

Mrs. Pei sighed, "That being said, we have to have a reason to do it!" ”

"Auntie, in fact, the reason is very simple!"

Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, her eyes gradually lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, what is the reason?" ”

At this moment, there was a heavy coughing sound outside the door, and a long figure appeared at the door, which was Dugu Haoran's arrival.

Mrs. Pei and Li Qing'an immediately stood up, and Mrs. Pei smiled at Dugu Haoran who walked into the room: "Master, Qilang came to see you today." ”

"Hmm!" Dugu Haoran stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and he said to his wife expressionlessly: "Madame, go first!" I'll talk to Shichiro. ”

"Okay, you talk, I'll ask about the wedding dress."

Mrs. Pei got up and left, Dugu Haoran sat down, and the maid also served him a cup of tea, he took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Today, the hungry people rioted, how was the situation when Qilang came?" ”

Talking about current affairs is the best topic between men, and it is easy to forget about each other's unhappiness, although Dugu Haoran and Li Qingan did not have a direct conflict, but Li Longji caused an embarrassment and a subtle distrust between them.

After Dugu Haoran entered the photo after Wang Hui, Wei Jian and others entered the picture, he gradually calmed down, and began to realize his impulsiveness in the matter of his daughter, and when the saint did not have any commitment to him, he rashly sent his daughter to the palace, if so, what would be the consequences? It is possible that the saint will make his daughter a concubine, but it is more likely that the saint will send his daughter back early the next morning, and the saint will not offend a feudal official for his daughter, he just wants to get his daughter's body, but will Li Qingan endure this kind of shame and humiliation? He is the envoy of the Anxi Festival, with heavy troops, he will definitely not want his daughter, nor will the saint, and in the end, he is Dugu Haoran chicken flying egg fight, and he is laughed at, and he is still laughed at after thousands of years.

is this consequence, things will not be as wonderful as he thought, the saint will not promote him to the prime minister, every phase of the country he mentions has a deep meaning, and even Li Qing'an has a political purpose, it is not his turn to be Dugu Haoran, the saint has promoted him to Sinong Siqing, this is the advance reward for him.

Thinking of this, Dugu Haoran couldn't help but feel ashamed of his desire for profit, he was also grateful for his wife's persistence, but he would not be grateful to Li Qingan, gratitude to Li Qingan was equivalent to admitting his stupidity, which was something he would never do, on the contrary, Li Qingan found so many important ministers to pressure him to make concessions on the day of the family banquet, but he kept him angry.

Today's visit by Li Qingan, Dugu Haoran also felt that it was necessary, but it was not for any reconciliation, it was so that at his daughter's wedding, he would not get drunk and fight with Li Qingan.

Although Li Qingan came with sincerity, he didn't expect him to have any grudges and grudges with Dugu Haoran's son-in-law, as long as Li Longji was willing, he could easily provoke Dugu Haoran to have a relationship with him, Dugu Haoran was such a person, he valued personal promotion more than anything else, far more than family affection.

But Li Qingan still wanted to talk to him, he didn't want any accidents in the last few days, Li Qingan also took a sip of tea, and sighed: "When I came, the imperial court had already begun to provide disaster relief, and the mood of the victims had stabilized, and there would be no chaos for the time being." ”

"For the time being? Why do you say temporary? Dugu Haoran asked again.

Li Qingan sighed and said: "In my memory, Henan Province was hit by drought the year before last, and last year it was Hedong's turn, and if there was a slight disaster, the people were displaced and had no way to make a living, why does my uncle think this?" ”

Dugu Haoran also sighed and said: "There were also disasters in the Kaiyuan period, but they were far from being so serious, one state and one county can solve it by themselves, and the victims ran to Chang'an, which is an incredible thing." ”

"It's incredible, but it happened, uncle, did you think of the reason for this?"

Dugu Haoran shook his head, he said that he didn't want to say, not that he didn't know, any official or even a farmer in the Tang Dynasty knew the reason, in the past, the farmer's land was his own, and after handing over the national grain, he still had some surplus grain in his hand, since there was a famine, he could also plant something else, which could resist the drought, and now?

Li Qing'an saw it in his eyes, smiled and said: "This is the reason why I said temporary, I heard that there has been a spring drought in Hebei Province, and there has been no rain and snow in a winter, and when it comes to summer, it will inevitably be another catastrophe, but the saint is unwilling to face it, and he is also bent on launching the Tubo War, natural disasters and [***], how can the disaster not be tragic?" ”

"Shichiro, pay attention to your identity when you speak!"

Dugu Haoran's face sank, and he said unhappily: "The saint has his own considerations, but as a courtier, he should not criticize the saint." ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, originally they talked about current affairs, it was easy to find a common topic, scolding the mother together, you praise me, I respect you, look at each other and smile, the contradiction between them will be eased, and the mustard in the heart will also be unraveled, this is the best result of the conversation, unexpectedly, the two are not speculative, but the distrust between them has strengthened.

The two couldn't find anything to say for a while, Dugu Haoran really didn't like it in his heart, Li Qingan was his son-in-law, but the official was older than him, so that he couldn't teach the younger generation with a condescending attitude, and it also made him faintly have a trace of jealousy in his heart, especially when Li Qingan had a dissatisfied tone with the saint, the fire in Dugu Haoran's heart flickered.

At this time, at this time, Mingzhu's excited voice came from the courtyard, "Where is Brother Li?" My sister and I are talking about him! Take me to meet him. ”

Dugu Haoran snorted heavily, walked to the door and shouted angrily: "Bold! ”

Mingzhu who rushed to run was yelled at by her father, so frightened that she stood there and didn't dare to move, she looked for Li Qingan twice in the past few days, but she didn't find anyone, which made her feel depressed, today I heard that Li Qing'an was coming, she suddenly smiled, she had too much to say to Li Qingan, and she didn't even listen to the housekeeper and ran over, but was angrily reprimanded by her father.

"Look at you, such a loud voice, talking unscrupulously, do you still look like a junior? A woman to be married, crazy all day long, go! Go back to your room. ”

Li Qingan heard that Lonely Haoran was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he was really unhappy in his heart, so he got up and said coldly: "Then I won't bother Uncle Dugu, I will leave first." ”

People are so strange, if Li Qingan continues to accompany the smiling face, or pretend not to understand anything, Dugu Haoran will be more arrogant, and his speech will be more ugly, but Li Qingan's cold face made Dugu Haoran's heart a little weak, after all, Li Qingan is the number one minister of the East Palace Party, the king of Anxi County, and he still has a phase, not that he can afford to provoke, Dugu Haoran's tone immediately softened.

"This.... Hehe! Shichiro, just sit down a little longer! ”

He asked Mingzhu again, "What about your sister?" ”

"In the back!" Mingzhu is timid.

"It's not easy for Shichiro to come today, let your sister come and sit with you,"

Li Qing'an suddenly realized, he understood Dugu Haoran at once, it turned out that there was no need to reconcile with him at all, it was easy to get him, as long as he had a gloomy face and showed the attitude of a superior to a subordinate.

Li Qing'an sneered, and he said lightly: "I'm sorry, I have something to talk about with the prince, if it's convenient, I plan to take Mingyue to see the manor tomorrow." ”

"Oh! Well, you have been in Chang'an for a short time, so let's get together with Mingyue more! ”

After speaking, he laughed dryly twice, and then walked away, and as soon as his father left, Mingzhu immediately jumped up, grabbed Li Qingan's arm and shouted, "Brother Li, I will go tomorrow too." ”

"Where are you going tomorrow?"

Mingyue smiled and walked into the yard, she also heard that Ailang was coming, and she couldn't wait to fly in immediately, but she was not as introverted as Mingzhu, she retained a trace of reserve, she actually came a long time ago, heard everything, and didn't come in until her father left, she pretended to be invisible.

"Sister, tomorrow Brother Li said that he would take you to the manor, and my father agreed, you must also take me there, stay at home all day, I will suffocate to death."

Li Qingan just wanted to be alone with Mingyue, but he didn't want to take this curious sister-in-law, he secretly gave Mingyue a look, but Mingyue didn't seem to see anything, and smiled at his sister: "As long as your brother Li agrees, I'll have no problem." ”

Mingzhu even took Li Qingan's hand and said coquettishly: "Big brother, take me there!" When you were in trouble, I ran to Anthy, did you forget? ”

Mingzhu's running away from Anxi alone is her killer weapon to deal with Li Qingan, as long as she mentions this matter, there is no benefit, Li Qingan pointed helplessly and said: "Okay then!" I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning. ”
