Chapter 105: Discussion
"This man, in order to get the woman he wants, he can say anything, especially a beautiful girl like Tong Yan." He sighed with feeling. "But Tong Yan is the county lord, and she is the head of the house, the Duke of Wei's Mansion is a little higher than our Marquis's Mansion, and the Duke of Wei has a heavy army, which is indeed a good home."
"That's fine." He smiled and shook his head, it was a compromise.
Zhao Heng didn't expect his father to accept it so easily, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Pingyang Hou stared at him and said slowly, "Then your marriage will be decided quickly, your mother and I have to quickly pick a suitable woman for you, hurry up and get through the door, you are so old, the eldest son of the Zhou family is only two or three years older than you, and they have given birth to grandchildren......"
"Dad, I see." Zhao Heng hurriedly interrupted, "You and your mother just look at the choice, I will listen to you." ”
If he didn't hurry up and make a statement, his father would probably have to talk for a long time.
Pingyang Hou nodded with satisfaction.
Tong Yan's girl is good, but she is a little too young, if she waits until the girl and Lu have a round house, Heng'er will be crowned, and won't it be many years for him to hold his grandson?
It's better to pick an older girl.
Pingyang Hou thought in his heart.
It's a pity that Mrs. Pingyang Hou was reluctant after hearing this, and complained, "Tongyan is such a good girl, how can she give it up?" ”
"Hey." Pingyang Hou waved his hand, "You don't know Heng'er's temperament, he has a cold face every day, as if others owe him money, look at Cheng Shizi, gentle and polite, and smile when he sees people, don't let Tong Yan marry in, and promote a pair of resentful couples, in my opinion, King Yong will definitely be willing, when the time comes, let's give Heng'er a more lively personality, an older girl, isn't this all happy?" ”
Mrs. Pingyang Hou glanced at him with disgust, "How is our Heng'er worse than Cheng Shizi?" Isn't it just a little colder? Isn't that cold to an outsider, how cold can you be to your daughter-in-law? “
Pingyang Hou Pi laughed twice, "We are not outsiders, and he is not so hot." ”
"Hmph." Mrs. Pingyang Hou turned her face away unhappily, but she also knew in her heart that what her husband said was right, if she could find a daughter-in-law with a more lively personality, maybe her son could also change this cold temperament.
She went through the girls of the right age who were familiar with her in her heart, her eyes lit up, and she said to Pingyang Hou, "Look at the daughter of the Linjiang Hou family, she is about the same age as Tong Yan, she has a lively temperament, and her appearance ......is good."
"Stop, stop." Pingyang Hou waved his hand with a smile, "Where can I go to see Linjiang Hou's daughter?" ”
Mrs. Pingyang Hou suddenly slapped her palm, and said with a smile, "Yes, you see I'm really confused, where are you a gentleman going to meet other little girls, what you said is also true, Tong Yan's temperament is not so lively, if King Yong also falls in love with Cheng Shizi, let's find a matchmaker to go to Linjiang Hou's house to make peace." ”
"About the same age as Tong Yan? Isn't that too small? Heng'er is already very old, so let's pick an older girl. Pingyang Hou was not very happy.
"You know what!" Mrs. Pingyang Hou glanced at him, "The good girls have long been picked away, and the older ones who stay are either not good-looking, or have bad conduct, or they are hard-hitting, and occasionally there are one or two girls with good looks, and the family will not be high, are you sure you want to pick an older one?" ”
Pingyang Hou smiled and said, "You are the head of the house, you have the final say, I just ask casually." ”
Mrs. Pingyang Hou pursed her lips and laughed, and said angrily, "You can speak." ”
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
The ancients said that marriage is the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, Cheng Huai alone cannot decide the marriage of two people.
He went to Wei Guogong's study non-stop.
Wei Guogong is now past the age of confusion, he has long eyebrows and sideburns, his beard and hair are not white, and he is standing in the yard teasing the beautiful thrush bird in the cage.
At a glance, there is a bit of similarity between him and Cheng Huai's eyebrows.
It's just that his eyes are sharp, and even with a smile, it's a little chilling.
Hearing the little girl's report, he was overjoyed and hung the cage back on the tree, and looked at the arch with a pair of sharp eyes, waiting for his son to come.
Seeing Cheng Huai's figure, he stroked his long beard and forcibly pressed down the unconcealed joy on his face.
Cheng Huai walked up to him and saluted respectfully, "Daddy." ”
Wei Guogong shook his head casually, let out a faint "um", coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "But what's the matter?" ”
Cheng Huai's ears were slightly red, his face was a little unnatural, and he said softly, "My son wants to ask his father for something." ”
"Oh?" Wei Guogong looked at him in surprise, he knew best what virtue his son had, and he could say the big word "begging" from his son's mouth, which showed that this matter was really serious.
He said solemnly, "You say." ”
Cheng Huai took a deep breath, bowed his head and saluted, "My son wants to hire the Zhaoyang County Lord of Yongwang's Mansion as his wife, and he also asks Daddy to fulfill it." ”
Wei Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was a big deal, it turned out that he wanted to hire the Zhaoyang County Lord of Yongwangfu...... For a wife?
His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Cheng Huai in shock and stammered, "You, have you taken a fancy to someone else's daughter?" ”
When did this happen, how did he not know?
It's not that he hasn't told his son about other daughters before, but his son hasn't taken a fancy to any of them, even the princess Anle who chases him all day long, he still thinks that his son's vision is so high, if he doesn't give him a daughter-in-law, he won't be a bachelor for the rest of his life, right?
He even had a slight suspicion, his own son wouldn't have a habit of breaking his sleeves, right?
Fortunately, my son is still a normal man.
"Please also ask Daddy to do it." Cheng Huai repeated it again.
"Okay, okay." Wei Guogong stroked his palms and laughed, "My son has finally opened his mind, hahahahaha, don't worry, my father invited the iceman to talk to the Yongwang Mansion." ”
He was a little excited for a while, not knowing who to find to be this iceman.
This is the first time Cheng Huai has seen his father so excited that he is at a loss.
He couldn't help but be a little stunned, it would be nice if A-Niang was still alive.
"Pingyang Hou, how's it going?" Cheng Huai proposed.
Wei Guogong thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "This is not bad." He hesitated, "But does the Marquis of Pingyang have a relationship with King Yong?" ”
Cheng Huai told Wei Guogong about the marriage between the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and the Yongwang Mansion, and also mentioned Zhao Heng's attitude.
Wei Guogong frowned, "There is no problem with you negotiating with Zhao Heng, but this matter should be up to me to talk to Pingyang Hou, how can I let Zhao Heng and Pingyang Hou talk about it, or when the gift is prepared tomorrow, you and I, father and son, will go to Pingyang Hou's Mansion together." ”
Cheng Huai didn't care, Zhao Heng mentioned it to Pingyang Hou first, lest they suddenly come to the door and surprise Pingyang Hou, but it was self-defeating.
But he still smiled and said, "Daddy said yes." ”
