Chapter 137: Old Wei
Inside the Flower Hall.
Zhongli sat on the main seat, smiling at Wei Lao, who was sitting below and drinking tea, squinting and smiling.
"Did Wei Lao drink the tea that he had sent to Wei Lao before? How does it feel? β
Wei Lao drank the tea for a while, but he didn't drink it again, but just held the teacup and gently stirred the rolled tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and then put it down after a long time.
"Mr. Zhong, I heard that Mr. Zhong is going to get married. Why don't you let the old man be the main marriage? β
Zhongli was worried about asking Zhao Yiyan to find someone, but he might as well forget the old man in front of him!
But......
"Old Wei, you're welcome! I'd like to ask you for help, but it's not the same thing I used to be. After all, my future sister-in-law is not an ordinary person, if it is usual......"
He didn't finish his sentence, but just said this, sighing softly.
Wei Lao smiled and waved his hand at Zhongli nonchalantly.
However, as soon as his eyes were straight, he looked at Zhongli, his eyes full of temptation.
"I just don't know, does this person choose the second son to agree? Presumably Zhong Gongzi also knows that people are terrible, sometimes if you don't do a good job at the beginning, it will directly affect the future. So those big families pay so much attention to the faΓ§ade, and they have their reasons. β
The meaning of the words is beyond the words, that is to say, Atina is not worthy of their Zhong family?
Zhongli couldn't help but smile, shook his head at Wei Lao, and spoke a little helplessly.
"I can't help it! We are just a family of merchants, who can we deserve? Besides, this is also what my eldest brother meant, he and Atina are both willing, so let's get married. β
He spoke nonchalantly.
Wei Lao shook his head a little helplessly, looking at Zhongli and frowning tightly.
The task given to him by the fourth prince this time may not be so easy to complete.
In particular, in this matter, there is no old man in the Zhong family, even if a mother comes out to stop it, their marriage cannot be good.
He gritted his teeth and spoke bluntly.
"But did Zhong Gongzi think about the other children? As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and sister-in-law Zhang is like a mother. The Zhong family is like this, what will happen if the following children get married? β
Zhongli couldn't help frowning, looking at each other strangely in his eyes, before gently shaking his head after a long time.
He really hadn't thought about this.
However, he still smiled and raised his eyes at Wei Lao.
"Thank you for your concern. However, after my eldest brother got married, he would separate from me. We've even divided our families! β
What the?
Wei Lao looked at Zhongli, who had a breezy face, and couldn't help but be stunned and stunned.
When did this happen? How did he not know?
Also, is it really good to separate at this time?
But although he thought so, Zhongli also had his own thoughts.
You can't put all your eggs in the same basket, can you?
"And now that the invitations and stuff are already being prepared, I guess that's it! If I really delay the happiness of a few younger brothers and sisters because of the eldest brother, I can only apologize. β
Zhongli made it clear that oil and salt did not enter.
Wei Lao was a little anxious, and he was even more angry.
Why is this kid so stubborn?
"Zhongli, I know that so many children in your family are lonely, and it is not easy to work hard until now. But don't you really think about it? Moreover, Zhong Liyue is still in the barracks, and the future of the three children below is uncertain. In case you ......"
Of course, he knew the importance of the fourth prince to Zhongli, and it was precisely because he was clear that he felt tricky.
"What if? Nothing in case. The children of the Zhong family are not in the ranks, although there is a disobedient Zhong Liyue, but I think the following children are still very obedient. β
Zhongli looked resolute.
Wei Lao frowned and asked tentatively.
"Why don't you get in? Is it because there is some last resort? β
If there was an enemy in the court because some of his fathers and elders had been misunderstood before, it would be better, he could contact the fourth prince to vent Zhongli's anger.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.
Zhongli raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Lao, before he shook his head and spoke nonchalantly.
"Old Wei, you'd better go back! I've already decided on this matter and I'm not going to change it. I don't care what you and the Four Princes plan, I will never go to that troubled water. If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asks you to be here for this role, please ......"
He paused, closed his eyes, and slowly exhaled a cloudy breath.
"Let's go!"
Wei Lao saw that Zhongli didn't seem to be a fake, so he gently touched his beard, turned around and left the room, but his back was a little lonely.
Zhongli looked at the other party's back, and couldn't help frowning, his face was ugly.
This Zhao Zijian, is he crazy?
And Wei Lao was not discouraged, but asked people to prepare a carriage and go straight to the Qingyang Palace, and the answer given by Zhao Yiyan was not much different from Zhongli.
"He just married, what does it have to do with the following people? Besides, isn't my brother afraid that no one wants it? It's ridiculous. β
He waved his sleeve and snorted coldly.
Wei Lao ate two closed-door soups a day, and he didn't vomit to death.
He looked at Zhao Yiyan with a sad face, only feeling that he was dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering!
Could it be that he was wrong, and that several of them were good people?
"Mr. Wei, for your sake, I can not pursue this matter. But please go back and tell Zhao Zijian, Zhongli is my younger brother, if he has any ideas for Zhongli again, don't blame me for being unkind! β
Wei Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the expression on his face was even more helpless.
What's going on?
At this time, the four princes, who were far away in the capital, sneezed fiercely, and reached out to touch their noses helplessly.
"Husband, are you alright? Why don't you call the doctor to come and take a look? β
The princess came over with a smile, and when she saw this scene, she came over with concern and asked.
Zhao Zijian frowned, couldn't help but look at the other party, and spoke quickly.
"Now you go and get three ginger slices, three green onions, and add some brown sugar to boil water for me to drink. You don't need a doctor! β
What the?
The princess stood stunned, her face sluggish.
What is this?
What is ginger? What is green onion? Brown sugar, she knows.
And Zhao Zijian looked at her blank look, couldn't help chuckling, gently stretched out his hand and pulled him to the kitchen, let the eunuch next to him quickly fetch a large piece of ginger, and then let people prepare a few green onions, prepare a pot and put it on the fire, and add water.
The four princesses looked at each other in surprise, this is to ......
Cooking?
She couldn't help but change her face, reached out to pull Zhao Zijian's clothes, and spoke a little panicked.
"Husband, shall I come? That's what we do. It's better for me to come. β
It's just that she was stopped by Zhao Zijian and pushed outside.
"You stand next to it, it's a big fire here, I'm afraid it will burn you. Even if it's smoked, it's not good. β
Zhao Zijian seemed to be quite interested in speaking.
The fourth princess's face turned red, and she glanced at Zhao Zijian with watery eyes, and the flames in the furnace shone on his cheeks, which made him even more handsome, unmatched.
Thinking of the other party's gentleness towards her in recent days, the fourth princess looked curiously at the movements in his hands and couldn't help but smile.
"Is this also what that magical Zhong Gongzi taught you?"
She herself felt strange, after Zhao Zijian went to the border city, the whole person seemed to be reborn, and he was busy with some strange things every day, but some things were really good.
It's like the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" that his son recites every day, every time the prince comes back from outside, he will test his son, and even the relationship between the two of them is much better than before.
From the bottom of her heart, she still likes the Zhong Gongzi who she has never met, you know, in the backyard of this deep house, without Zhao Zijian's favor, even if she is the princess, what can she do? Aren't you overwhelmed by those cheap concubines?
This thought was only a moment, and she heard Zhao Zijian's answer.
"Haha, yes! That kid always gets weird stuff. He used these to treat wind chills before, and I asked him how he knew, and he actually said that it was because his family was relatively poor, so he slowly figured it out, don't you think it's strange? β
Odd? Strange what?
The princess wanted to speak, but she just looked at Zhao Zijian's face, and shook her head with a smile.
"What a strange man! It's just that the husband likes him so much, why don't you let someone take him to the capital? Even if we don't have money, we can give money! After all, the other party is quite talented, and even Chen'er is much more sensible than before. β
At the mention of his son, the smile on Zhao Zijian's face was a little bigger than before.
Since the last time he appeared in front of everyone, he changed the content without authorization, from the "Three Character Classic" to the "Disciple Rules", and he had to learn various etiquette principles first, and then learn others.
Just like now, the results are significant.
It can be detected from the daily morning and dusk meditation, including the previous interaction with younger brothers and sisters, which is very stylish.
Zhao Zijian was laughing, when he heard an exclamation in his ear.
"Look, isn't it already?"
What exactly is Zhao Zijian doing Zhongli doesn t care at all, what he is now irritated is the man in front of him.
"I know you don't like being preached to you. I also know that you have promised to let your brother take a wife, but can't you change someone? β
Zhao Yiyan hadn't been moved by Mr. Wei yet, but there was an old housekeeper behind him.
The old housekeeper pulled his people to preach to him, and even laid out the facts, reasoned, broke up all kinds of things and told Zhao Yiyan that he must marry a wife, and as for this Atina, she can be an aunt first.
Zhongli had already fried the pot when he heard the word aunt, he squinted his eyes, stared at Zhao Yiyan gloomily, and turned around and sneered.
"People are Qinglou women, what can they do? Why can't you tolerate people so much? Someone else? Be an aunt? Hehe, why? I still have to ask my brother to marry her! And it's the kind that marries, the kind that carries eight sedan chairs into the door. β
He originally thought that Zhao Yiyan would stand on the same line as him, but this man had clearly betrayed the revolution, so why should he be left?
