"Oh?" The old emperor raised his eyebrows, put down the fold in his hand, and looked at Wei Qingshan. "What does the Wei Qing family have to decide? I also thought that Wei Qing's family was so bold that naturally they wouldn't need me for anything. ”

Wei Qingshan was a little embarrassed when he heard the old emperor's sarcasm, but he quickly restrained his expression and said seriously, "What the old minister said is about his beloved daughter, and even more about the emperor. ”

The interest on the old emperor's face was even stronger, "The matter of the county lord of Zhaohua? That's a good thing to say. ”

When Wei Qingshan heard the old emperor say this, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom. Even if it is a royal county lord, the old emperor would not pay so much attention to it under normal circumstances, but he didn't expect that Wei Zhaohua, a county lord with a different surname, would be able to be so appreciated by the old emperor.

"Yes...... It's a little girl's marriage. Originally, the old minister had already discussed with Mrs. Jiang to let Commander Jiang and the little girl achieve a marriage. But the emperor, a few days ago, you issued a holy decree to make the little girl the lord of the county. In this way, her marriage cannot only be decided by the minister, but the emperor must be decided. ”

Shen Cuobai's grinding hand beside him was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but look at Wei Qingshan's eyes with a little more ridicule. There is no other reason to put all the blame on Wei Zhaohua?

The old emperor nodded, chewing on what Wei Qingshan said thoughtfully, "When was the marriage between Jiang Heng and Zhaohua decided?" Before I decreed it? ”

Wei Qingshan was slightly stunned, if the marriage had been said before the decree, the old emperor would definitely have no way to refute it. But if the decree is issued, this matter will have to be brought forward by the old emperor. Wei Qingshan hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer. If you tell the truth, I'm afraid this matter will be in vain.

Seeing that Wei Qingshan didn't answer, the old emperor had a rough idea in his heart. "Lord Zhaohua, what do you think of this marriage?"

When Shen Cuobai heard the old emperor ask like this, he was not grinding, he looked at Wei Qingshan on the ground, waiting for his answer.

Wei Qingshan faced the old emperor's question again, and said helplessly, "Zhaohua is still young and still can't understand these things, so the old minister naturally can't just listen to her side and cancel the things that have been set with Taifu Jiang." ”

"I see. There's no need to rush. I announced that Mrs. Jiang was coming today, so it would be better to discuss this matter together. The old emperor said with a smile, but after Wei Qingshan heard that Taifu Jiang was coming, his face was obviously a little stiff.

Jiang Taifu had already said it clearly in the Wei Mansion, and it was clear that he didn't want to embarrass Wei Zhaohua. If Wei Zhaohua didn't want to marry, Mrs. Jiang wouldn't be reluctant. But if you know that you have come to ask for the emperor's will, I am afraid that it will be another misunderstanding.

When Wei Qingshan didn't have time to think about it, Cheng An walked in with Mrs. Jiang.

Taifu Jiang was dressed in an official uniform, dressed uprightly, and was originally going to report to the old emperor, but after seeing Wei Qingshan kneeling on the ground, his face couldn't help but droop.

"The old minister greets the emperor, and greets His Royal Highness the Prince." Mrs. Jiang just bowed and saluted, compared to Wei Qingshan kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Jiang looked much lighter.

"You've come just in time, get up. I didn't expect General Wei to come over today, and it was for your precious grandson and the county lord of Zhaohua. The old emperor greeted him with a smile, and the mood of watching the play was a little bigger.

Jiang Taifu looked at Wei Qingshan on the ground, his face was gloomy, because of Jiang Heng, Jiang Taifu didn't take the matter of Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng to heart, as long as he secretly brought back the ten boxes of gold and silver treasures in two days, but when the matter came to the old emperor, it was a little difficult to end.

"I didn't expect General Wei to take the old man's joke seriously. Jiang Heng's kid is stubborn, how can he be worthy of the talent of the county lord. ”

Although Wei Qingshan guessed that Jiang Taifu would refuse, he didn't expect him to say it so directly, and his mind would change so quickly. The difference was a little stunned in place, "What is this that Taifu Jiang said, we have obviously already said it, even your ten boxes of dowry gifts are still in the Wei Mansion." ”

Mrs. Jiang laughed, "What bride price?" That was the old man's heart to the county lord of Zhaohua. The old man has always had special care for people who have both talent and virtue Not to mention that he is the county lord of the emperor, it is natural to send some congratulatory gifts. ”

Wei Qingshan couldn't react to Mrs. Jiang's reversal, stretched out his finger and pointed at Mrs. Jiang, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

The old emperor listened to the words of the two and shook his head helplessly, "It turned out that it was General Wei's own misunderstanding, since this is the case, then there is no need to say anything." Since Mrs. Jiang gave the Zhaohua County Lord a congratulatory gift, then I will also send some. Prince, you personally go and pick up fifty boxes of gifts and send them to the county lord of Zhaohua. ”

Jiang Taifu and Wei Qingshan were shocked in their hearts, every treasure in the palace was priceless, but the old emperor actually sold fifty boxes in order to give Wei Zhaohua a gift. Compared with the ten boxes of bride price that Wei Qingshan said, these fifty boxes seem to be more like a bride price.

Shen Cuobai stood aside and smiled slightly, he couldn't be clearer about the old emperor's thoughts. is not only to support Wei Zhaohua, but also to let everyone know that Wei Zhaohua is from the heavenly family. No matter who you are, don't think crookedly.

"The emperor is a god and a martial artist, and it is the blessing of the Eastern Qi Dynasty to love and cherish talents." Jiang Taifu said in a timely manner, secretly glad that he did not catch Wei Zhaohua's line, judging from the emperor's actions today, except for the people of the Heavenly Family, no one moved Wei Zhaohua at all.

"Alright. Then the matter is over. You don't have to take it to heart. Instead of having spare time to worry about these things, it is better to care more about the people of Li, and you can also share your worries. The old emperor got up from his seat and walked down step by step.

"The old minister obeys." Wei Qingshan and Jiang Taifu replied.

"I asked Mrs. Jiang to play chess, let's go, I'm going to give it a try today, you are still as different from the original chess method."

Jiang Taifu also smiled, the old emperor was in front, and the rest of the people were behind, so they went out of the imperial study together. So in the entire imperial study, only Shen Cuobai and Wei Qingshan were left.

"General Wei should be careful, after all, the Heavenly County Lord is not something that others can act rashly." Shen Cuobai walked to Wei Qingshan's side and said a sentence softly, which clearly penetrated Wei Qingshan's ears.

Wei Qingshan clenched his fists, thinking about today's events, it was like a bamboo basket for nothing. Not only did he not save anything, but he lost even more.

"The old minister respectfully follows the teachings of His Royal Highness the Prince." Wei Qingshan almost gritted his teeth and said this. If Wei Qingshan, who holds military power, still has any right to speak, then the current Wei Qingshan is not worth mentioning at all.

When the matter in the imperial study reached Wei Zhaohua's ears, Wei Zhaohua was quietly looking at the military book. The Anyang girl told the various rebuttals to Wei Qingshan with the emperor in the study, and she would add oil and vinegar to the side, as if these two people had seen it with their own eyes.

"County Lord! How are you not surprised at all! Such a major event was easily settled by the emperor. You said happily, and it was difficult to hide the smugness in her words.

Wei Zhaohua smiled, "These fifty boxes of gold and silver make me uncomfortable." The emperor can give such a big face, I have to keep to myself. ”

"County Lord! Look at your identity now, in the whole house, I'll see who dares to be presumptuous in front of you! An Yang said with a smile, and he was really happy for Wei Zhaohua.

Wei Zhaohua put down the book in his hand and stretched. "I don't know if my mother is busy there lately, let's go and see my mother."

Wei Zhaohua, Anyang, and Youyou walked on the path in the house, the sun outside was very big, and the summer sun stabbed people to open their eyes. Anyang held the umbrella in his hand, for fear that Wei Zhaohua would be uncomfortable in the sun.

As soon as Wei Zhaohua arrived at Jingxin Garden, he saw Aunt Su hurriedly walking out. The three of them looked at the back of Aunt Su leaving in a hurry, and said with some curiosity, "Why is this Aunt Su in such a hurry?" ”

Wei Zhaohua had an ominous premonition in his heart, and walked inside without delay, Su Chengbi was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, his eyes closed as if he was praying for something. The aroma that came to his face made Wei Zhaohua frown dissatisfied, but he still didn't show it.

"Mother." Wei Zhaohua called softly.

Su Chengbi opened her eyes, looked at the Buddha statue, got up from the ground, and walked outside. "How did you have time to come over today? If you find this summer boring, you might as well go around. ”

When Wei Zhaohua heard Su Chengbi say this, the bad premonition in his heart became even stronger. In the past, Su Chengbi was very unhappy about going out by herself, but now she persuaded herself to go out, isn't there really something going on?

"It's just a few things to go out and play, and I'm tired of playing early. It's better to spend more time with your mother in the house, lest your mother don't say anything on her mind. ”

Su Chengbi heard Wei Zhaohua's little girl-like coquettishness, and the seriousness on her face was also a little smiling. "Mother can have anything on her mind, as long as you and your brother are well, for mother, there is nothing worth remembering."

"As long as my mother can be well, Zhaohua and my brother will naturally be well."

Wei Zhaohua said with a smile and sat down in the hall with Su Chengbi. Su Chengbi poured Wei Zhaohua a cup of herbal tea and put it in front of him, "Zhaohua, the second aunt is pregnant." ”

Wei Zhaohua's hand that was just about to drink water was a little stunned in mid-air, watching Su Chengbi say this sentence without changing his face, Wei Zhaohua could almost imagine how Su Chengbi's heart was turning upside down. Even if you don't care, but what woman in the world can be so chic?

"That's a good thing."
