Chapter 129: The Emperor Gives Marriage
Zhao Kuo changed into his usual civilian clothes, took Steward Zhao and Xiaosi, as well as Qiao Jinyu's two new girls, and walked to the street with Qiao Jinyu.
Compared with Xinyang City, Shengjing is indeed more prosperous than one or two points.
As soon as the group turned out of the alley where the mansion was located, they saw the street where people came and went.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the shouts and shouts of the shops are very lively.
Qiao Jinyu followed Zhao Kuo's side, looking at those things that she had never seen in Xinyang City from time to time, and felt very novel.
Steward Zhao followed behind her, and when he saw that she didn't know something, he would always explain it in a timely manner.
In this way, the group walked for a long time, although they did not buy anything, they did not feel bored.
After a while, passing by a teahouse, Zhao Kuo looked at Qiao Jinyu's red face, and said softly: "Go in and sit for a while and have a cup of tea before turning around." ”
Qiao Jinyu was indeed a little thirsty, so she nodded. "Okay."
The group entered the teahouse, and Xiao Er, who was very discerning, immediately led a few people to the second floor and led a few people to the window position.
"Xiao Er, come to a pot of the best tea in your store, and a pot of Longjing before the rain."
Without Zhao Kuo's orders, Steward Zhao has already arranged everything properly.
The good tea was naturally for Zhao Kuo and Qiao Jinyu to drink, and the pot of Longjing before the rain was drunk by the rest of them.
It didn't take long for the tea to come up.
Qiao Jinyu sat in front of the window, looking at the pedestrians running on the street, listening to the other tea customers in the teahouse chatting about the gossip circulating in Shengjing, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and feeling that life was about to be like this.
"Eh, haven't you heard, that General Long Wei has returned to Beijing."
"I heard that, I also heard that the emperor intended to marry him, but he refused on the spot, and the emperor was very angry."
"How could such a thing happen? Who does the emperor plan to let him marry, is that person too ugly for him to look down on? ”
Qiao Jinyu, who was drinking tea, was stunned, staring blankly at the person opposite, suspecting that something was wrong with her ears.
The emperor gave marriage?
When was this?
Why haven't you heard her general talk about it?
Even the people around her never told her.
Not only her, but even the stewards of Zhao at the adjacent table were also stunned.
Across the patio, the tea guests continued to chat.
"What's too ugly? The emperor asked him to marry the emperor's favorite princess Mingyu, a famous beauty in our southern Qi, a golden branch and jade leaf in the middle of the year, and a phoenix on the branch. ”
"Huh? Then why wouldn't he marry? Is he stupid? ”
"I don't know, I guess it's stupid. Haven't people always said that this General Long Wei is a very decent person? He probably didn't like the princess, and he didn't want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, so he directly refused the emperor's marriage. ”
"Tsk! When you say that, I quite admire this General Long Wei. If we have more decent officials like him in Nanqi, it will be a blessing for our people. ”
"That's right."
The tea guests were still talking, but Qiao Jinyu couldn't listen to anything, and her mind was full of the emperor's refusal to marry her general.
It took a while for her messy mind to calm down a little and find her voice back.
"When? This morning? ”
Zhao Kuo knew what she was referring to, and bowed his head slightly, "Hmm." ”
Qiao Jinyu took a breath and felt a little blocked in her chest.
"Then why didn't you say it when you got home?"
