Chapter XXXVIII
Dong Shouye returned to the mansion, and when he met the housekeeper in the mansion coming out of his small courtyard, he thought that his father Dong Zhuo was looking for something about him, so he asked: "Butler, what are you looking for me, is it my father's invitation?" ”
The housekeeper saluted Dong Shouye, and then said, "Qi Qi Gongzi, the Taishi ordered the villain to send the mansion in the hands of the Taishi to the son. It's already in Childe's study, and Childe can check it out at any time. If nothing else, the villain will retire first. ”
Dong Shouye waved his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to leave on his own.
Dong Shouye took Jia Xu, Du Ji, and Dian Wei into the study.
After entering, there was indeed a newspaper on the desk in the study.
The Dibao first appeared in the Han Dynasty, similar to the newspaper, its content of the emperor's edicts, edicts, official documents such as ministers' recitals, and court events and other relevant political information, written on bamboo slips or silk silk, and later with the development of papermaking, gradually written on paper.
Dong Shouye opened the newspaper and saw that the main news was the appointment and dismissal of some officials, and there was nothing that Dong Shouye was interested in, so he didn't take it to heart, and casually handed the newspaper to Jia Xu and Du Yi to watch.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Childe, the villain still has something to face Childe." ”
When Dong Shouye heard the voice of the housekeeper, he wondered why the housekeeper went and returned, so he motioned to his entourage to open the door and let the housekeeper come closer.
After the housekeeper walked to the study, he said: "Childe Qiyu, just now the villain forgot to tell the son, and he also punished the son!" ”
This housekeeper has also been in the Dong Mansion for many years, how could Dong Shouye blame him, so he said: "Some little things, why bother to take it to heart, what is the so-called housekeeper after a long time?" ”
The housekeeper replied: "Lord Li asked the villain to inform the son, then Lord Cai Yong's daughter is going to recruit relatives in the mansion in the near future to find a good son-in-law, Lord Li asked the son if he wants to participate?" ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You go down first!" Let me think about this matter for a while, and I will discuss it with Master Li in person at that time. ”
When the butler saw this, he said nothing, and withdrew as he said.
Since Dong Shouye returned to Chang'an, his family affairs have been put on the agenda. For this reason, Li Ru helped and found many people. But the results are not satisfactory. Of course, the problem is very simple, that is, you have a crush on others, but others do not look down on you. Others have taken a fancy to you, but you have a disdain for others.
How to say this, Dong Zhuo is looking for a wife for his son, he must be looking for a good person, with Dong Zhuo's current status, there are not many people in Chang'an City who want to find the right person, just a few. Count the families in Chang'an City who can match Dong Shouye, either at the level of the Three Princes and Nine Qings, or the princes and royals, and the worst must be the ancestors who have produced the three princes.
In this way, the bar is high.
Because this is Dong Shouye's wife, the requirements must be very strict, and the choice of characters is also quite cautious. If you marry a concubine, you won't have so much attention, and it's not a big problem to find a beautiful Qingqi person in a brothel, as long as Dong Shouye is happy.
For this reason, Li Ru also asked several three-level figures in the current dynasty, such as Huang Wan, Huangfu Song, Zhao Qian, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Chong Fu and others who are currently in Chang'an, or some well-known Confucians in the world and several royal relatives and so on. Most of these people excuse themselves for one reason or another. Dong Zhuo has no way to do this, after all, he can't hold a knife on someone else's neck and ask the other party to marry a suitable woman in the house to Dong Shouye! If this kind of thing was left in the past, Dong Zhuo would definitely not be upset when he did it, but now his identity and status are different, he is already the emperor of the dynasty, and he is the most powerful person today, he always has to take care of his identity, and if he does those things that are no different from robbers, he should make the world laugh. These people pretend to be high and refuse Dong Zhuo, although Dong Zhuo hates it to the root of his teeth, but there is no way, there are many such examples in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, take Cao Cao as an example, after the death of his son Cao Chong, Cao Cao wants to give Cao Chong a yin marriage, the object of value is Bing Yuan's dead daughter, the age between the two is like, if ordinary people may not agree, but Bing is upright, is a well-known moral master, never tends to be inflammatory, directly rejected Cao Cao. You must know that Cao Cao's power at that time was stronger than Dong Zhuo now! This is still the case with a yin marriage, let alone a normal marriage. (Cao Chong's example is a bit inappropriate, I didn't find a suitable one, I looked for it before, but the information was lost) Now many people in the court are not happy with Dong Zhuo, how can they marry Dong Zhuo.
Writing here, some people will say that with Wang Yun's character, he should agree!
Wang Yun does have a daughter, whose name is Diao Chan. However, this Diao Chan is not Wang Yun's biological daughter, but a goddaughter (don't think nonsense, the relationship between the godfather and the goddaughter was still very pure at that time, unlike the world is in the wind now). And Diao Chan's background is just a dancing girl, if Wang Yun gives Diao Chan to Dong Shouye as a concubine, there will be no problem, but if Diao Chan is Dong Shouye's main wife, it is a bit inappropriate, Dong Zhuo will not agree to it anyway, and the civil and military forces under Dong Shouye will not agree.
Sometimes, a person's marriage cannot be the master by himself, such as Dong Shouye.
Dong Shouye's marriage must be in line with the collective interests of Xiliangjun, of course, the wife mentioned here, as for the concubine or something, it doesn't matter, there is nothing to pay attention to.
After the housekeeper left, Jia Xu said to Dong Shouye: "This Cai Yong Cai Zhonglang is a well-known Confucian in the world, and his reputation is well-known in the world. Childe, if he marries this person's daughter, it is also in line with the identity and status of the child. Although the Cai and Dong families are not a good match, this Cai Yong is a noble person in the clear stream, and his lintel can also match the son. ”
Dong Shouye was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Jia Xu to be the first to agree. I didn't know what to say for a while, but nodded to indicate that I had heard.
At this time, Du Ji said: "Childe, I still remember that when I was in the peach forest that day, Childe led the army to rescue Miss Cai. Childe escorted Miss Cai all the way to Chang'an, it can be said that she did her best, and after getting along, Miss Cai must also be a little grateful to Childe, coupled with Childe's amazing talent, a five-word quatrain made Miss Cai impressed, in Du's opinion, Miss Cai will definitely have a good impression of Childe. This time, Caifu recruited relatives, and the son just went to win the beauty. ”
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Dong Shouye with a smile, and said, "There is such a thing? ”
Dong Shouye nodded, did not speak, and acquiesced.
At this time, Du Yi's gossip heart began to be restless, and he told Jia Xu the story of Dong Shouye and Cai Yan on the road.
Dian Wei was not willing to be lonely, and shouted: "Childe, my old man also saw that Miss Cai was interested in Childe and fell in love with Childe." That Miss Cai is a beautiful country, and she just happened to marry back to be our young housewife. Hahaha, I raised my hands in approval, son, hurry up, don't hesitate, hurry up and make a decision! ”
Dong Shouye was also amused when he saw Dian Wei's dancing appearance, glanced at Dian Wei, and said angrily: "Just you have a lot of mouth!" ”
