Chapter 697: Convince Kang Shilin
After writing the letter, Zhao Ruxi went to the yamen, and the Zhu family called Liu Quan, told him well, and immediately asked him to set off to the capital with two guards.
The three of them set off at noon, and when they arrived at the Kang family in the capital, the Kang family had not yet eaten dinner.
"Liu Quan of Suiping Bofu?" Kang Shilin was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and shouted, "Hurry up and call him in." "I'm still worried about whether something happened to Zhao Ruxi.
Liu Quan came in and saluted, and said to Kang Shilin: "The villain sent a letter to Mr. Deadwood for the girl." ”
Kang Shilin took the letter and read it.
In the letter, Zhao Ruxi told Kang Shilin about Xiao Lingyan going to her today and proposing to her. In the letter, she asked Kang Shilin what to do and whether he wanted to agree to this family business.
Kang Shilin finished reading the letter, raised his head and glanced at Liu Quan, and then put his eyes on the letter. But if anyone looked at him closely, they knew that the focus of his eyes was not on the letter at all.
Kang Shilin can make the two emperors trust him and live a transcendent existence, just because he is a very sensitive, intelligent and transparent person.
Kang Shilin knew that when Zhao Ruxi was studying in Beining, Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng became her right-hand men.
Later, she participated in the imperial examination, went to Nanyang to serve, and wrote countless letters to Kang Shilin, and it was basically these two people who came to send letters. If these two people can't get out, it will also be Ma Sheng's son Ma Wu who will come to deliver the letter, and there will be no one else.
When Kang Shilin went to Nanyang, he found that Zhao Ruxi had several nurses such as Xiang Ming around him. But Zhou Chun, Ma Sheng and others are still Zhao Ruxi's most trusted people.
The letter in front of me is so important, it contains a major event of a prince marrying a wife, and it also involves Zhao Ruxi himself. With Zhao Ruxi's temperament, he should naturally send Ma Sheng, who is the most trusted and has martial arts, to deliver the letter.
And Liu Quan is the right-hand man of the Suiping Bofu or the Zhu family, he is neither Zhao Ruxi's person, nor can he do martial arts. No matter what the reason, Zhao Ruxi would not let go of so many trustworthy and capable people around her, and sent Liu Quan to deliver the letter.
So the only explanation is that this letter was not sent by Zhao Ruxi, but by Zhu.
In the flash of light, Kang Shilin figured out these problems.
He raised his head and asked Liu Quandao, "Why are you here to deliver the letter?" What about Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng? ”
Liu Quan glanced at the people in the room, and looked at Kang Shilin hesitantly: "Mr. Deadwood......
Kang Shilin waved his hand: "You all go out." ”
Except for Kang'an, everyone else retreated. Kang An also retreated to the door.
He has Kang Shilin's absolute trust, standing here he can see if anyone is eavesdropping outside, and he can also hear what Kang Shilin has to say in the house, and react in time.
Seeing that Kang An stayed in the house, Liu Quan didn't care, but saluted Kang Shilin and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi went to Nanyang Prefecture this morning. At noon he departed, and the girl came home, and told his wife about it, and said that he would write to him. Because the girl was short of time, she had to go to the yamen after a hurried meal, and the lady said to deliver the letter for her. After that, he sent the villain to Beijing. ”
It's just a matter of handing over the letter to Ma Sheng and giving an order, but Zhu snatched the job of delivering the letter.
Kang Shilin had already vaguely guessed what Zhu meant. Is this trying to marry his daughter to King Qi?
"She sent you to Beijing to deliver a letter, but she wanted to ask you to bring a message?" He asked.
Even if he is a master, it is impossible to go past Zhao Ruxi's parents to directly give her family ideas. Therefore, although Kang Shilin disagreed with Zhu's idea very much, he still had to give people a chance to speak.
"Yes." Liu Quandao, "Mrs. said that since she recognized the girl back and the girl was fourteen years old, she, the old lady and the uncle have been doing things for the girl. Originally, they took a fancy to the prince Fu of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but the girl didn't want to get involved in the factional dispute, so she didn't agree. Later, Jingping Wangfu proposed marriage for the fourth son, and the girl was unwilling to marry into the mansion to be a little daughter-in-law, and had to compete with her husband's concubine for favor, so she also refused. ”
Hearing this, Kang Shilin frowned.
He knows all about this family business. The little apprentice is not only sensible, but also a caring little padded jacket, and he will never hide anything from him, and always tell him with admiration and dependence.
Fu Yunkai and Xiao Sijie, not to mention Zhao Ruxi, he also disagreed.
Fu Yunkai himself is good, but he is tied to the political whirlpool, and there is a shrew-like old lady at home. Princess Jingping of Jingping Mansion seems to be gentle, and she is not soft when it comes to her daughter-in-law, not to mention that Xiao Sijie is still an amorous species.
"Originally, Duan Chen was a good candidate, but Concubine Jin took a fancy to him for Princess Xiangyang and wanted to call him a concubine. The girl already has a conflict with their mother and daughter, if she marries someone who refuses Concubine Jinniang and Princess Xiangyang, it will not be an ordinary hate, and I am afraid that there will be a worry about my life at that time. Duan Gongzi was not good enough to let my girl risk her life to marry him. ”
"And apart from the three of them, looking at the many children in the capital, my wife really can't find someone worthy of my girl. Therefore, the girls are now sixteen years old, and they have not yet decided on a marriage. A few days ago, Master Wu Zongwu also told the girl that if she didn't decide to marry again, I was afraid that someone in the DPRK and China would take advantage of the topic to impeach the girl. ”
"In this case, His Royal Highness King Qi came down to ask for a kiss, and Madame felt that it was providence."
"Madame is also aware of the concerns of the gentleman. But she also has her own considerations, so she wants the villain to tell Mr. to see if it makes sense. If the gentleman thinks it is inappropriate, the girl's family affairs will be discussed. ”
"You say." Kang Shilin was not as angry as he was just now.
After Liu Quan said this, he also understood Zhu's thoughts and knew that Zhu's move was all helpless.
Compared with the three people she selected, Xiao Lingyan was much better than those people in every aspect. Excluding the fact that he is a prince, I really can't find anything wrong.
In the past year, Kang Shilin entered the palace, and often encountered Xiao Lingyan playing chess with Xiao Qi to appreciate paintings, and he had a very good impression of Xiao Lingyan himself.
Moreover, the Zhu family is an inner house woman who has no political vision, and only wants to find a good marriage for her daughter. It's no wonder she wants to agree to this family business.
Seeing that Kang Shilin's face was not as ugly as just now, Liu Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Madam said that His Royal Highness King Qi could have directly asked the emperor to make an order, but he was willing to go to ask the girl's opinion in person on a hot day, and said that if the girl didn't want to, he wouldn't be reluctant." Madame felt that His Highness was showing respect for the girl. For this point, they are a lot stronger than others. ”
