Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Guogong took Cheng Huai to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion with great ambition.

Pingyang Hou welcomed them to the main hall with a smile on his face.

Looking at Pingyang Hou's expression, Wei Guogong's heart that was still a little empty was counted at once, it seems that Pingyang Hou has no mustard in his heart, and this matter is mostly easy to say.

Cheng Huai and Zhao Heng, the two juniors, respectfully greeted the elders.

The Marquis of Pingyang and the Duke of Wei both laughed and asked them to excuse themselves, and then politely greeted them.

"Duke Wei, please take a seat." Pingyang Hou smiled and arched his hand.

Wei Guogong smiled and bowed his head, and after sitting down, he stretched out his hand and signaled, "Master Hou, please." ”

Pingyang Hou didn't even have to think about it, Wei Guogong came at this time, it must have been for the marriage between Cheng Shizi and the county lord of Zhaoyang, but when he heard that Wei Guogong wanted him to be this iceman, he hesitated a little.

If King Yong misunderstood, thinking that he didn't want to get married, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Wei Guogong saw that Pingyang Hou was a little embarrassed, and he probably knew what Pingyang Hou was worried about, he stroked his long beard, and said apologetically, "The dog is not sensible, I should have personally come to the door to apologize to Hou Ye, but this incident made Hou Ye embarrassed." ”

"Where is the matter, the prince of the country has said." Pingyang Hou waved his hand again and again, "As long as King Yong is willing, I don't have any opinions, Cheng Shizi and Dog Zi have grown up together since childhood, they are like brothers and sisters, and if you are older, you can count me as half a nephew, but this iceman ......" He hesitated for a moment before he said euphemistically, "Let me come forward, I'm afraid King Yong will misunderstand." ”

Wei Guogong nodded thoughtfully, he understood what Pingyang Hou meant.

But if it weren't for Pingyang Hou coming forward, King Yong was afraid of Pingyang Hou's thoughts, and then politely rejected him, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

He was also caught in a dilemma.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Cheng Huai already had a plan in his heart, he stood up with a light smile and arched his hand, "Forgive the younger generation, it's better for Daddy to go with Hou Ye, just tell the truth, King Yong will never blame Hou Ye." ”

"This ......" Pingyang Hou was a little moved.

Wei Guogong clasped his hands and moved his brows, "It's also a good way." He looked at the Marquis of Pingyang and said sincerely, "Don't worry, if King Yong is to blame for this matter, I will bear it with all my might, and I will not let King Yong misunderstand Hou Ye." ”

Pingyang Hou frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then according to what Guogong said." ”

Wei Guogong looked satisfied, smiled and said, "Then thank you Hou Ye, I see that the day after tomorrow is a good day, I don't know if Hou Ye is free?" ”

"Nature, nature." Pingyang Hou arched his hand and said continuously.

The corners of Cheng Huai's lips curled involuntarily.

Now that the matter has been negotiated, it is inconvenient for Wei Guogong to stay here for a long time, he chatted with the Marquis of Pingyang for a few words, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

Pingyang Hou stopped him from leaving, wanting to leave him to eat in the mansion.

Wei Guogong laughed, waved his hand and said, "I still have official business, so it is inconvenient to stay longer, Hou Ye rest assured, when the matter is done, let's set up a table again, and I will be the east when the time comes, okay!" ”

Since Wei Guogong said that he had official business to be busy, Pingyang Hou would not be able to say much, but the four big words "waiting for things to be done" made Pingyang Hou feel a little weak, in case King Yong was unwilling to marry Guogong Mansion, wouldn't this meal be uneaten? When the time comes, won't King Yong and Wei Guogong be offended?

There was a cold sweat on his forehead, but the words had already been spoken, how could he take it back, so he could only send the Cheng family father and son out of the house with a dry smile.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and turned his head to look for his wife.

Mrs. Pingyang Hou listened to his worries, squinted at him and sneered, "How can I blame you for this kind of thing?" If King Yong is unwilling to marry, it is King Yong who rejected Wei Guogong, how can you blame it, and it is not that you disagree, if King Yong even blames you, then it should be Wei Guogong who is ashamed. You can stand up to this matter in a reasonable way, aren't you old and confused? ”

Pingyang Hou was choked by these words, and he was speechless.

"Besides, a man like Cheng Huai, which young lady in Beijing doesn't want to marry him? There are no shortcomings in the body. If I were a young girl now, I would be willing to marry him, and King Yong would never refuse him. Mrs. Pingyang Hou looked impossible and shook her head.

"I don't like to hear that!" Pingyang Hou said angrily: "When I was young, I couldn't compare to Cheng Huai!" That's a graceful and suave one, the jade tree is in the wind, and it is a ...... talent."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Pingyang Hou came over with a smile and grabbed his arm and interrupted, "Cheng Shizi, where can he compare with when you were young, even if you are old now, you will not lose your demeanor, and you will have more stability that you didn't have when you were young." ”

Hearing this, he felt comfortable, the corners of his mouth curled up proudly, but he said modestly, "Madame is too prestigious, age is not forgiving, after all, she is old, and she can't be compared with young people!" ”

Mrs. Pingyang Hou shook his arm and said with a smile, "I don't agree with this, where is the husband old, in the prime of life, who wants to say that you are old, I am the first to disagree!" ”

Pingyang Hou smiled evilly, "What Madam said is that I am not old, whether I am strong or not, Mrs. knows best." ”

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Pingyang Hou said with a red face.

The two were playing around again.

In the evening, Tong Yan received a letter with no payment on it, and the person who sent the letter did not leave a name.

The six big characters of Zhaoyang County Lord Qi were written on it, and the pen was strong, and it was three points into the wood, which was very pleasing to the eye.

couldn't help but make Tong Yan think of Cheng Huai.

But when she asked Zhao Heng before, wasn't the reply from Cheng Huai? The font is distinct, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and it is difficult to distinguish?

She looked at the six big characters suspiciously and walked into the study before opening the envelope.

There was only one folded piece of paper inside.

Tong Yan slowly unfolded it, and a pair of vivid geese jumped on the paper and met her eyes.

This pair of geese, a female and a male, look forward to each other, lingering, spreading their wings and soaring in the sky.

Tong Yan pursed her lips and laughed, and after looking at it for a long time, she put the pair of geese on her chest.

It is said that the wild goose only recognizes one spouse in his life, and the whole life ends from the beginning, so the dowry is indispensable for a pair of wild geese, and it is a symbol of the good marriage of Qin and Jin.

Cheng Huai is telling her that everything is done, and he is coming to propose!

The smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and after rubbing it for a long time, she put the letter under the box preciously, and lingered for a long time before going to dinner.

Even when she was eating, her cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her lips were quietly raised from time to time.

The maids looked at each other a little confused, why did the county lord receive a letter and be so happy again? For several days, the county lord smiled like a flower.

Qingzhi and Yunxiang vaguely understood that this letter must have been written by Cheng Shizi, and it is estimated that the county lord is a good thing is coming.
