Chapter 520: Xiao Zhuo's Bad Idea
Yesterday, Webster held a banquet for Wei Ningzhi, and invited all the people in the capital regardless of camp.
Chi Tang was also invited, but her face was not good yet, so she didn't go.
Lu Zishan went.
After going, I heard that Wei Ningzhi was robbed by Xue Zheng at the banquet, so I rushed to ask Chi Tang.
Asked by Chi Tang about Wei's feast yesterday, Lu Zishan thought about it carefully, but shook his head: "There is nothing special to discover, it is that Xue Twelve quarreled with Gao Jiwenββ"
"Why did you quarrel?" Chi Tang asked with interest.
Originally, Gao Jiwen was bound to win Wei Ning's momentum, but as a result, Wei Ning was robbed by Xue Zheng when she entered Beijing.
I heard that the Taiji Palace sent someone to reprimand Xue Zheng, Gao Jiwen couldn't help but be blushing when she saw Xue Zheng?
"I don't know this, I'm not with them," Lu Zishan grinned, "You know, every time they meet, it's-for-tat, and every time Xue Twelve provokes Gao Jiwen, do you think Xue Twelve will irritate Gao Jiwen this time with Wei Ningzhi?" Yesterday they made a lot of trouble! β
"Particularly fierce? And then what? Chi Tang asked.
Wei Kuan and Wei Ningzhi's father and son are also the forces that the East Palace is fighting for, and it doesn't feel very good to be stirred up by Xue Zheng like this.
"Then the master's family came out," Speaking of this, Lu Zishan frowned, "The girls of the Wei family are obviously helping Gao Jiwen!" If you hold a grudge against Xue Twelve, don't invite it, if you invite it, you don't give face, what is this? β
Chi Tang said casually: "In the past, the sisters of the Zhang family came to your house for a banquet, and you didn't pay attention to people?" β
"They're not what I'm going to invite!" Lu Zishan is straightforward.
Chi Tang's heart moved.
So who is Xue Zheng to invite?
"The girl of the Wei family helped Gao Jiwen, what happened later?" Chi Tang continued to ask.
One dares to invite, the other dares to go.
If it was to repair it, forget it, but it ended up being unhappy when I went.
It's like going to smash the field.
"Then it got a big fuss!" Lu Zishan's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he was very excited, "How can Xue Twelve's temperament suffer?" She's still the king! The official university crushed people to death, not to mention that Gao Jiwen and the Wei family girl didn't even have a grade! β
"She took care of herself to find a place to sit down and drink tea, and let a well-spoken maid go out, and said that Gao Jiwen was guilty of the crime, and that the girls of the Wei family had no hospitality, and Du Rong and them, they would not just look at them, after all, they were all in a group!"
That's a big deal......
"And then?" Chi Tang nervously swallowed the melon seeds.
"Then it alarmed the elders of the Wei family, and then they all dispersed." Lu Zishan replied.
Chi Tang put down the melon seeds in disappointment.
It was a long time coming, but it was the same ending as a little girl's mouth.
But in this way, Xue Zheng doesn't seem to have offended Wei?
"Hey!" Lu Zishan bumped her arm, "You say...... Could Xue Twelve also take a fancy to Wei Ningzhi? β
Chi Tang thought for a while and shook his head: "How do I know this?" β
"Otherwise, what was she doing yesterday?"
Chi Tang still shook his head: "I don't know." β
"Speaking of which, Xue Twelve is also eighteen years old, and he still hasn't decided on a marriage...... I heard people say that in the past, everyone suspected that Xue Twelve was going to be the crown princess, but later Qi Guogong took a fancy to Xie Wan, and with Xue Twelve's background, it is estimated that he would not be willing to be a side concubine...... Later, I guessed if it would be the King of Shu, the King of Wei, Cui Jiu, and Du Yanβ"
"How's your marriage?" mentioned Du Yan, Chi Tang suddenly remembered that she said that she wanted to find a powerful brother-in-law for Xiaoba, and she took a fancy to Du Yan.
When it came to the marriage, Lu Zishan's eyebrows suddenly drooped, and he shook his head: "It's not good!" β
"How?"
"I read your letter last time, and I excluded Du Erlang, so that I feel that only Xiao Wulang and Cui Jiulang are leftββ"
Chi Tang sneered and said, "I heard that the girls call Xiao Wulang and Cui Jiulang the double of the capital?" β
Lu Zishan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with Shuangbi in Beijing?" Am I unworthy? β
"Deserved! Well deserved! Chi Tang laughed.
When people discuss marriage, they look at the door.
The Lu family is noble, and although Lu Zishan's father is not talented in official positions, she has a good sister.
Lu Zijin is excellent in calligraphy and painting, erudite and talented, and has a reputation for integrity, which is highly respected by scholars.
It can be said that Lu's reputation is now in her hands.
As Lu Zijin's sister, Lu Zishan also has some good names that have nothing to do with her.
With Xiao Zhuo and Cui Jiu, it is worthy.
But Miss Lu Qi is not a question of whether she is worthy of others, she still feels that others are not worthy of her-
"I think, Xiao Wulang is still not good!"
"Where can't you?" Chi Tang asked curiously.
Xiao Zhuo is very good! Daddy and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were full of praise.
"You see this year, so many people have been promoted, he has obviously made meritorious contributions, but he has not received any rewards!" Lu Zishan shook his head again and again.
Chi Tang was stunned and whispered, "I heard that it was the Duke of Jin Ling who refused to let it." β
Chi Tang listened to his father about this.
Xiao Zhuo escorted grain and grass for the Northern Expeditionary Army, and his contribution was not small, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally intended to let him enter the military department, but was opposed by the prime minister.
The prime minister who opposed it was Xiao Zhuo's father.
As for the reason for the opposition, Chi Tang was indignant at the time and heard it.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, it is to suppress Xiao Zhuo and prevent him from shining for the East Palace.
Lu Zishan still shook his head: "He can't even fight for his future, he is not good enough!" β
There is some truth to that......
Dad said that the East Palace is still fighting, but if Xiao Zhuo can't survive the suppression within the family, things will be difficult to say.
Chi Tang sighed.
Xiao Zhuo is difficult to protect himself, and it is estimated that he will not be able to help Xiao Tong.
The eldest brother and the Yang family's family affairs have stopped, and she is also angry with Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong originally heard that Chi Lanze was discussing marriage with others, so he always wanted to verify it in person, but unfortunately he never met Chi Lanze, and the correspondence was also banned.
Now that he got Chi Tang's letter, he cried with joy directly, and almost said "Pu Wei is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer", which scared Chi Tang to interrupt quickly.
After all, the poem is not very auspicious.
Later, she changed several songs, and finally found an affectionate and auspicious love poem to let her pass.
Both of them were extremely longing that day, but Xiao Zhuo's reward gave them a blow to the head.
"Ah Tong didn't come yesterday." Lu Zishan leaned on her shoulder and whispered.
Chi Tang smiled bitterly.
Yesterday's Wei family night banquet was very grand, and the nobles from the Jingli family went to it, although Chi Tang didn't go, but Chi Zhu also went.
On such an occasion, the Xiao family still didn't let Xiao Tong go?
It's just a waste of food due to choking!
If you want to maintain the neutrality of the family, you are ready to hide all the young people in the family?
"Hey!" Lu Zishan bumped into her and asked, "How are Brother Chi and Ah Tong?" β
Chi Tang shook his head: "My father went to Xiao's house today to propose marriage, I don't know if I can make a ......."
β¦β¦
"Xiao Xiang refused!" Chi Changting replied simply and clearly.
Chi Tang was stunned for a long time, and asked helplessly: "That...... So what to do? β
Chi Changting didn't have a solemn look: "Xiao Xiang refused to marry because he wanted to maintain the neutrality of the Xiao family, as long as it can't be maintained, your eldest brother will have the opportunity to marry the Xiao family's daughter." β
"So how can they not sustain themselves?" Chi Tang humbly asks for advice.
"This step must be taken by Xiao Zhuo."
"Can Xiao Zhuo do it?" Chi Tang was a little worried.
Chi Changting smiled: "Yes! He's already had a bad idea! β
Chi Tang blinked: "What bad idea?" β
"He asked to marry Xue Zheng!"
