Chapter 373: My own brother
Shao Yi asked Xia Yanqing before, and Xia Yanqing also assured him that she had no plans to marry. Shao Yi believes that as long as Xia Yanqing is unwilling, the Xia family will never force her.
However, seeing that his daughter-in-law was coveted by so many people, and there were many powerful people among them, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
Shao Yi didn't know that Liu Jian had repeatedly recommended Chai Mao, who was from the first line of Chengjun Wang, to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials. I don't know that Taishi Liu has been focused on by the emperor, and it is the kind of attention that pays attention to the rebels.
In his opinion, Liu Taishi is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he has a very high status and face in front of the emperor.
Ding Xingwang, the Venerable Master of Taishi Liu's Mansion, has a few grandchildren who are marrying in the family, and there are three of them, all of whom are around 20 years old.
Moreover, others don't know, but he understands. In another ten or eight years, Taishi Liu's mansion will be unable to make ends meet because of the huge population in his family. In desperation, he had to quietly send a lot of subordinates, and sent many children out to do things, and the little scribes who were not in the stream could see it.
At this time, there was such a turnaround, if Taishi Liu didn't care about face, he found the emperor and asked for marriage......
Shao Yi immediately felt that one head and two were big, this kind of result was really unacceptable to him, when the time came, would he pack his daughter-in-law and wander the world?
However, in the days of being chased by the emperor and fleeing, how much hardship did his daughter-in-law have to suffer!
and Zhang Yuantai's mansion made Shao Yi even more troubled, and the Zhang family still had Zhang Xiaowu.
What is out of the concubine has never been in Shao Yi's eyes. Xiao / Wu is excellent regardless of appearance or character, and what is more advantageous is Xiao Wu's temperament, and he can tolerate things in case of trouble.
A proper candidate for a good husband.
What made him feel even more in crisis was that Xia Yanqing had met Xiao Wu, and the two had talked, so they knew each other......
It's very dangerous, if Zhang Xiaowu and Ah Can come to talk about marriage, I'm afraid he won't even have the opportunity to pack his daughter-in-law.
In the previous life, Ah Chan felt unacceptable that men and women had never met, and then they had to live together after worshipping.
As far as he knows, except for the foreign men Xia Yanqing has seen in his life, except for himself, and then his brothers. If the brothers don't pursue the past and only look at the appearance, it will be an absolute Yushu in the wind, and all of them will be very eye-catching.
This is not good, I have to make it clear to everyone.
So, when the Xia family daughter was hotly discussed in the capital, Shao Yi invited a group of brothers to drink at the Juxian Pavilion Restaurant.
The first to arrive was Cheng Youting, this guy had long seen that Shao Yi had other thoughts about Xia Yanqing.
In the past few days, many families in the capital have focused on the Xia family's daughter, but Shao Yi is still that immortal, he didn't listen to any movement from him at all, Cheng Youting is already anxious for him.
"Why did you suddenly remember to greet my brother and a few drinks?" Cheng Youting turned the tea cup in her hand and asked.
"In the past few days, there are a lot of people who are eyeing the Xia family, including the little five. I want to ask him what his family means. Shao Yi was blunt.
"You can propose to the Xia family," Cheng Youting said, "It's been delayed for so long, what's the matter, I'm afraid that the Xia family will dislike your mother's identity and be embarrassed?" ”
Shao Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "There are also considerations in this regard, but this is not the main reason, the emperor asked before, I told the truth, the emperor did not agree." ”
"Your Majesty? When? Cheng Youting was surprised, the emperor even interfered in Shao Yi's marriage, this kid, the day when he will be recorded in the royal family is not far off.
Shao Yi understood what he meant: "What kind of expression do you have?" If I am really recorded in the genealogy of the clan, won't my family affairs be even more unbearable to myself? ”
Cheng Youting was embarrassed, "This, I was surprised and forgot about this stubble." You're about this, it's really hanging, you're not sure about proposing marriage to the Xia family, right? ”
Shao Yi looked helpless and explained, "I'll find time to ask Miss Xia again." ”
He recalled the last time he went to Xia's house in the past few days, Xia Ke and Xia Zixi's attitude looked very strange, and they seemed to think that he had bad contact with Xia Yanqing. However, he did not prevent them from meeting, but asked his brother to accompany him, as if he was afraid that they would lose their manners.
If this is the case, the Xia family's father and brother should be quite optimistic about him, and he is in the process of waiting and seeing, which is very promising.
It's not that he boasts, although he doesn't have the knowledge to get a jinshi, but he has read the books he should read, and the important thing is that he has lived for twenty more years, and he thinks that in addition to scientific examinations, his ability is comparable to that of any son.
If he waits and sees, he will definitely not disappoint his future father-in-law, mother-in-law and uncle, and he will be able to pass the test 100%.
Cheng Youting glanced at him with disgust, and said, "What is Miss Xia, have you figured out the priority?" First of all, it depends on the emperor's meaning, the emperor will not let go, no matter how happy Miss Xia is, you can't marry her, unless she is willing to be your concubine. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Shao Yi hurriedly interrupted, and quickly swept around with a weak heart.
This guy! Cheng Youting almost squirted the tea, "Did I say you?" It's just the two of us here, and even the personal guy is outside the door! What are you afraid of? ”
Shao Yi glared at Cheng Youting a little annoyed, if Ah Can knew about the concubine's words, he was afraid that he would really have no chance.
Cheng Youting then suggested: "I think it's better for you to start with the emperor first, if the emperor doesn't agree, this matter will be fine." ”
"I'll think again." Shao Yi was perfunctory. Everyone else thinks that the emperor is the key, and that's right. However, if Ah Can is unwilling, this matter is even more useless, it is to marry home, and in the end, it will be Wang Xi's end.
Cheng Youting naturally heard the perfunctory in his words, but they have been together for a long time, this guy seems to be reckless in doing things, but in fact, everything is very careful. I've been arrogant for so many years, and I haven't planted much of it. Therefore, he is not entangled in this matter.
"Listen to what you mean, the emperor summoned you alone, when did it happen?" Cheng Youting asked.
When? The Emperor has summoned him many times.
Shao Yi thought about it, the first time he was summoned, was the one he refused to be recruited by King Jing, right?
It's just that you can't just say it to anyone at any time. He took his grandson out a few times, and it was all confidential, and those who knew about it were all ill-intentioned, and Cheng Youting and their family must not know.
His own brother, he was not perfunctory, and said: "There have been a few times, but it is inconvenient to say this, you still don't know." ”
"Is it so powerful?" Cheng Youting was taken aback, and then relieved, "Then you have to be careful, dealing with the royal family is sometimes very dangerous." ”
"I understand." Shao Yi patted him on the shoulder, feeling a little moved in his heart. This is to treat him as his own brother, and he can say such things without any distraction.
