Chapter 185: Dong Xiucai's Guess
Dong Chengyi glanced at Dong Changhe and saw that there was no anger on his face, so he continued: "The fourth uncle is full of poetry and books, isn't he also a general, I don't know how many catties I have!" ”
The more she talked, the more confident she became, and her face was not red at all when she quibbled.
"Okay, even if your second uncle is willing to help you, he can't give you an official position, but in other aspects, do you have to do business like your third uncle?
Well, even if you are willing to do business, how do you deal with people with your stuffy nature? Are you as eloquent as your third uncle? Dong Xiucai was speechless, he didn't expect his eldest grandson to be so eager for quick success! It's so short-sighted.
"Speaking of a small landlord at home, even if my grandson farms, it will be enough for me to support my future wife and children, not to mention the accumulated silver to buy land, with the help of my second uncle, I may not be able to become a squire!"
Dong Changjiang has followed Dong Changhe's family to farm in recent years, and has also purchased a lot of family property. Not only did he buy some land, but he also built a courtyard with three entrances, which is also a rare blessed landlord in the countryside.
Dong Changhe has always been conceited and eloquent, but who let him and the third child not set a good example for the next generation, and now they have no position to persuade others.
He thought for a while and said, "Dad, let's put this matter of Chengyi aside for a while, I came today to discuss something with my father." ”
Dong Xiucai took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
He is a little absent-minded, after all, Dong Chengyi is the grandson he has high hopes for, and his mind is now on Dong Chengyi, and even Dong Changhe, who has been valued by him in recent years, is not treated by him at this time.
"Today, I want Xue'er to enter Beijing with King You, and next year I will face the holy ......"
"What? Face ...... How can it be? Dong Xiucai's eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked incredulous.
Dong Changjiang was also shocked, face saint! That's something you can't ask for, something that ordinary people like him don't dare to think about.
"Well, it is said that our family should enter the capital to face the saint, and now I am sympathetic, knowing that my body is not easy to travel far, and the Yun family is just a woman. That's why Cher is going to face Saint Shane alone.
I've been wondering what I'm trying to do these days, even if I want to break my head, I don't understand it!
Although Xue'er is now the county lord, she also has the title of 'Yongfeng'. But after all, there is only food, not food. ”
In the capital where the powerful gather, a county lord like Xue'er grabs a lot of them, so it is said that he won't care about it today!
Dong Changhe's mouth was dry, and he reached out to pour himself a cup of tea, and then he worriedly said what he was worried about these days: "In private, I also asked Mo Wei, and Mo Wei couldn't say a reason, which proves that Youwang doesn't know the reason."
I'm worried that with Xue'er's appearance, after entering Beijing, I will arbitrarily point out a marriage to the child, and although our Dong family is also considered powerful, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so I can't help the child.
What should I do then? ”
He had always hidden these words in his heart, even if he didn't say them to the Yun family and Xue'er.
At the beginning, he also wanted to use Xue'er to marry and help his son plan a good future.
Now there is no need to worry about the future, through all these years of getting along, he also really loves that child, and he doesn't want her to marry whoever she wants.
Dong Xiucai looked outside the house.
Dong Changhe said: "I didn't bring ink with me when I went out today, I only brought a coachman, waiting for me in the wing, if my father has anything to say, no one will pass it out." ”
Dong Xiucai asked tentatively: "You Wang hasn't said anything in the past two years?" Didn't he mean that to Cher? ”
Dong Changhe shook his head: "The last time I saw Xue'er was a few years ago, when Xue'er was just a yellow-haired girl. In the past few years, Youwang has been committed to the affairs of the border gate, and he has never been to the Dong family, so I can't guess his intentions. ”
"Didn't you just say that King Youshang asked King Youshang to escort Xue'er into Beijing? If you ask him to take care of Xue'er in the capital, it is estimated that there will be a drama when he comes and goes!
We can't figure out what is going on today's thoughts, but he treats the Dong family so favorably, and treats Xue'er so well, why don't you do it to the end, and then point out a good family business to Xue'er?
So your worries may be unfounded.
Why didn't you let Xue'er enter Beijing to thank you, but at this time, you wanted Xue'er to enter Beijing?
Although Xue'er didn't have a plan, it was not far from Jilu, and maybe she had her own plans today! ”
Dong Xiu is a well-known kind-hearted person, but that's all appearances. Inside, he is quite calculating, and when he closes his eyes, he is a trick's idea.
The so-called ginger is still old and spicy, this Dong Xiucai didn't expect that his words today would be in a word.
"Well, these are aside, Xue'er said that she wanted to take Ze'er into Beijing, I thought about it again and again and still felt that it was inappropriate, although it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, but Ze'er is too young, this road is tiring, I really don't worry!
I wanted the fourth brother to accompany Xue'er to Beijing, and the fourth brother said that he was barely admitted to the original lift, and he had to study hard for a few more years, so he just took advantage of this time to go out for a walk.
It is difficult to make progress behind closed doors, so it is better to go to the imperial capital to open his eyes, maybe it will be helpful for him to do his studies.
There is also righteousness, if you can go out and open your eyes, it may not be impossible to come back and change your mind. ”
He hadn't thought about Chengyi accompanying Xue'er to Beijing before, which was also a coincidence.
Dong Xiucai and Dong Changjiang's eyes lit up, and they both looked at Dong Chengyi.
Dong Chengyi was also moved, he didn't want to change his mind, but this was a rare opportunity to go out and have a look, and hurriedly nodded: "I'm willing to accompany my sister on a trip!" ”
Dong Xiucai nodded and said: "It's okay, your fourth brother's father will tell him that it should be no problem, as for Cheng Ze, it may not be impossible to go out and have a look, just make your own decision, second brother!" ”
The matter was settled, and Dong Chengyi's matter was temporarily shelved.
At the end of the month, the county Hou Mansion ushered in distinguished guests.
King Youwang has not returned to the imperial capital for many years, and now he has received a holy decree to return to Chang'an, and he also has to escort the county lord of Yongfeng, he is happy.
I haven't seen Xue'er for a few years, and he has always been thinking about it in his heart.
Although he almost knows about Dong Xueer's affairs, and he is becoming more and more curious about her, and he is becoming more and more interested, but after all, he hasn't seen her for a few years, and he doesn't know what that girl has become of?
Originally, he could have come to Dong's house to pick up people after the Spring Festival, but he still couldn't wait to come.
By the way, the matter of Zou County was also solved.
In the past two years, along the line of Zou Xiancheng, his subordinates and Feng Xianling's subordinates have collected enough evidence to draw out a large number of people behind it.
Tiezhou followed Beijing, and a large number of officials in the imperial capital were dismissed.
