Chapter 173: If Lost
Song Mo nodded and said, "I happen to have something to go to Daxing's Grange tomorrow, you can give Chen Qushui a post!" ”
The people in the room were stunned.
Just now they were still discussing going to visit the three horses Shi Zhenlan, how could Song Mo change his mind in the blink of an eye?
When Liao Bifeng first came, he thought that he hadn't figured out Song Mo's temper yet, glanced at Yan Chaoqing, and saw that Yan Chaoqing was drinking tea with his eyelids down, but he didn't speak, and he didn't say anything.
Chen He retreated.
Liao Bifeng continued the topic just now: "Although the grandfather of the country has the intention of continuing, but the prince has reached the age of Zhixue, and the second master has also passed the drooping hair, and the better people may not be willing to marry their daughters in, and the worse ones cannot play the role of marriage, which is useless to the current situation." This time, Grandpa Guo pushed the daughter of Peng Feng, the commander of Xuanzhou Weidu, and asked to marry the younger sister of Changxing Hou, which can be seen Grandpa Guo's intentions. Gongzi took the opportunity to visit Shi Zhenlan to let the Shi family know that the prince had great ambitions, and with the Shi family's usual style, most of them would not agree to the marriage proposal of the grandfather, which was a good idea. ”
Yan Chaoqing bowed slightly, and also praised: "The Shi family has always valued profit over affection, and likes to marry wealthy and powerful people, otherwise, Shi Zhenglan would not have been a princess." Grandpa Guo wants to marry a girl from the Shi family because of this. The prince's plan is good - if the Shi family feels that they can't profit from this family business at all, and may even offend the prince of the family, they will definitely not agree to this family business.
There has always been a saying in the officialdom that young people do not bully young men, that is, young people have unlimited possibilities, and they may become powerful one day, not to mention that Song Mo's momentum is so fierce, if Shi Ruilan agrees to marry his sister to Song Yichun, there will be no room for turning around and standing on the opposite side of Song Mo.
Song Mo didn't make a sound, looking a little absent-minded.
Liao Bifeng thought that Song Mo was worried about Song Yichun's marriage, thinking of the contradiction between Song Mo and Song Yichun, he couldn't help but owe himself, and gave Song Mo an idea: "Lord Shizi, the house is not presiding over the middle feed, and the prince wants to continue the string, and no one can stop it, but if you become a parent, it will be different-the Duchess of the country is to fill the house, and the wife of the prince is matched, one occupies the eldest and youngest, and the other occupies the concubine, and the internal affairs of the Guogong Mansion will fall into whose hands, at this time, it depends on whose identity is more prominent." When he said this, he glanced at Yan Chaoqing again, and whispered the words that the two had discussed before, "The younger sister of Yan'an Marquis Wang Qinghuai, the second daughter of Mrs. Tai's maternal uncle...... There is also Princess Jingyi from Queen Wan, who has reached the age of marriage, and the world will be out in January next year, so make plans early, it's time! ”
Song Mo sneered: "I'm afraid my father also had this idea, right?" ”
Liao Bifeng smiled but did not speak.
Song Mo said: "Let's talk about this later, let him go to the Shi family to run into a wall first." "I don't want to talk about it.
Having said that, the Shi family's unclear refusal of the British duke, this marriage can be completed.
Liao Bifeng hurriedly said: "Where are the three horses?" ”
"It's arranged the day after tomorrow!" Song Mo said lightly.
Will it be too late?
Liao Bifeng just wanted to persuade Song Mo a few more words, but he felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and then he heard Yan Chaoqing's voice: "Since this is the case, then we will leave first." The prince should rest and rest, and rush to Daxing early tomorrow morning. ”
Song Mo let out a "hmm".
Yan Chaoqing and Liao Bifeng got up to say goodbye.
After leaving the main courtyard, Liao Bifeng hurriedly asked Yan Chaoqing in a low voice: "Who is Chen Qushui?" The prince treated him so politely. Listening to the tone of the prince, he seems to be a staff member in someone's house, why didn't he invite him? ”
Yan Chaoqing really couldn't answer him.
To explain who Chen Qushui is, you have to talk about Miss Dou Si...... Obviously, what the prince is most worried about now is to involve Miss Dou Si. But he can't help but explain Chen Qushui's identity to Liao Bifeng - Liao Bifeng is now the chief of staff of the prince, if he doesn't know anything about the prince, it is easy to make a mistake in judgment, which will be a bad thing.
Miss Dou Si is about to get married, even if the relationship between the prince and Wei Tingyu is no longer the same, it is impossible to interact like now.
How did the prince know Miss Dou Si, and if you have a chance to tell Liao Bifeng in the future!
Yan Chaoqing quickly thought of his words: "Chen Qushui Mingbo, who used to be the staff of Zhang Kai, the governor of Fujian who abandoned the city and fled, later returned to his hometown Zhending, and found an errand in the seventh room of the Dou family in the north building. When the prince had an accident, he happened to be in Kyoto, and because he received the favor of the prince of Dingguo, he had helped the prince. And because the Dou family took him in when he was in trouble, he remembered his old favor and was unwilling to resign, so he stayed in the Dou family. Since he has come to Kyoto, the prince must do his best to be a landlord. ”
Liao Bifeng felt that there was a flaw in Yan Chaoqing's words.
If this is the case, the prince should care about whether Chen Qushui is doing well in the Dou family, but listening to the tone of the prince, he is very concerned about the marriage of the young lady.
Thinking of this, Song Mo's thoughtful expression appeared in Liao Bifeng's mind.
His heart fluttered.
Could it be that the prince of the world ......
But he quickly kept the thought to himself.
He didn't go through that catastrophe with Shi Ziye, and it would take some days for Shi Zi Ye and his henchmen to be recognized.
There is no urgency in this matter, he will find out sooner or later.
Liao Bifeng smiled and asked about Yan Chaoqing and Song Mo's trip to Daxing Grange: "Do you want me to follow when the time comes?" ”
"Let's see how the prince arranges it!" Yan Chaoqing also saw Song Mo's thoughts, thinking that it would be terrible if something was rumored, he made up his mind not to let Liao Bifeng follow, so he said with a little shirk, "Chen Qushui is helping people after all, let's see if he can go away!" ”
Liao Bifeng said "um", changed the topic, and after going back, he instructed the little girl he brought to pay attention to whether there was a greeting from Chen Qushui.
In the afternoon of the next day, the little servant replied: "I didn't see a prayer post named Chen Qushui." ”
Could it be that this Chen Qushui rejected the kindness of the prince?
Liao Bifeng couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Chen Qushui has already arrived at the grange in Daxing.
How could he reply to Song Mo in his own name, wouldn't that expose himself to the eyes of the British duke?
Since Song Mo's invitation can't be denied, he can just come to see him directly.
Song Mo was very interested when he saw him and invited him to taste tea.
It's just that after a few words of greeting, the topic turned to Dou Zhao's marriage.
Chen Qushui admires Dou Zhao's ability to recognize people the most.
When he was in the Grange, Dou Zhao sent Song Mo away cautiously and even a little in awe, he was still a little unimpressed, and what happened later confirmed Dou Zhao's wisdom one by one.
He felt that it was completely necessary to keep a certain distance from Song Mo, so he didn't plan to tell Song Mo about his intentions at all.
"When my uncle came back last time, the fourth lady's dowry was almost ready, and I just waited for my aunt to set a date after I took off the clothes." Chen Qushui said, "Aunt Cui, let us ask the seventh master, to see if the young lady is really married or from Kyoto?" Who will be a Blessed Person? What are the particularities of a wealthy family in Kyoto marrying their daughters? Is there anything else to add or subtract from Miss's side...... It takes two quarters of an hour to talk about everything, let alone what needs to be done. He smiled bitterly, looking helpless, and sighed, "It's really troublesome to get married!" ”
"Really?" Song Mo suddenly felt a little lost.
After Dou Zhao got married, what he pretended to be in his heart and what he was thinking about in his mouth would be Wei Tingyu...... If he goes to see her again, even if she is frank and Wei Tingyu doesn't care anymore, I'm afraid it's a little out of place!
He suddenly lost something, and he was interested, and felt that he should still go to the Three Horses Mansion......
Ji Yong, who knew that Chen Qushui had come to Kyoto, was very excited, and he asked Zixi: "Is the news reliable?" ”
"Reliable!" Zixi patted his chest and said, "He lives in the fourth lady's pen and ink shop, and he also visited several masters of the Dou family two days ago. We found out when I went to Daxing to visit friends today. ”
Ji Yong was very interested and said, "Have you found out the identity of Chen Qushui's friend?" ”
"Found out." Zi Xi said, "This person's surname is Yan, his name is Yun, and his name is Chaoqing." He is a member of the staff of the British Prince. ”
Ji Yong was very surprised: "The staff of the British prince...... I think I met in Fujian......" He thought of the rumors he had heard about the British government a few days ago, and couldn't help but mutter, "Do you know what Chen Qushui is doing in Kyoto?" ”
"I heard that I was discussing Miss Dou Si's marriage with the seventh master of the Dou family." Zi Xi said, "Jining Hou will be removed in two months." ”
Ji Yong couldn't help pursing his lips and said, "Could it be that Dou Zhao is really ready to marry this surnamed Wei?" ”
Zixi sweated, and said busily: "This marriage was set by Miss Dou Si since she was a child, can Miss Dou Si marry someone else if she doesn't marry Jining Hou?" Isn't this how the Dou family pushed the He family's courtship? ”
Ji Yong said to himself: "I always feel that Dou Zhao is too much of a loss to marry this surnamed Wei......"
As soon as he said this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he saw dust falling on Dou Zhao's originally dusty clothes, and if he didn't knock the dust off, he always had a thorn in his heart.
He patted the placket of his shirt and said, "Let's go, let's go meet Chen Qushui." ”
"This, this, not much, right?" Zixi jumped up and stopped in front of Ji Yong, "Mr. Chen is here to discuss Miss Dou Si's marriage, you go to see Mr. Chen, what do you say...... "If Gongzi does something to "see the road uneven" and messes up this matter, it will be bad!
Only before he finished speaking, he was glanced at by Ji Yong with contempt: "I'm Dou Zhao's cousin, I care about her marriage, can't I?" ”
What kind of cousin is this!
"Okay, okay, okay!" Zixi heard the words and was dark for a while, and said, "However, it should be the same for Mrs. Gu, right?" As soon as Mr. Chen came, he went to visit Mrs. Gu, and Miss Dou Si grew up with Mrs. Gu since she was a child, and there are some things that Mrs. Gu may know more than Chen Qushui......"
Before reporting to his wife, he had to stop Ji Yongxian no matter what.
