Chapter 253: Second Marriage
Meng Jun originally planned to go home for dinner at noon, since he got married, he was busy and rarely had time to have lunch with Jinqing, but before noon, several former colleagues came to him to go out for a drink.
"No, you can go, I have something to do." Meng Jun said with a smile.
A few rough old men immediately coaxed, "General, we went to an ordinary restaurant, there are no women" What's more, he directly patted Meng Jun on the shoulder and laughed: "Brother can't be like this, others told me that you are afraid of guilt, I don't believe it, you are really pressed by a little girl and don't even dare to drink?" It was so disappointing for me."
After several bombardments, Meng Jun was helpless, surrendered, and followed a group of people to ride to the restaurant.
Fushun Building next to the Qujiang River, is the largest and best restaurant in the capital, the original name was originally called Furui Building, because of the name of the queen Gu Ruixue, the boss has a very discerning initiative to change his hundred-year-old signboard to Fushun Building.
Meng Jun followed a few colleagues into the box they had already set, and as soon as he entered the box, the table was already full of wine and food, and a middle-aged man sitting at the table stood up and smiled at Meng Jun: "General Meng, it can be regarded as waiting for you." ”
The box was ready, the food was still steaming, and I had made up my mind to invite myself to this banquet.
The middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume had two neatly trimmed mustaches, his smile was gentle and polite, full of etiquette, and between the electric light, Meng Jun's mind turned a few times, and he stepped forward with a smile, "Master Hou is polite." ”
Several colleagues who came with Meng Jun immediately said goodbye with great discernment, and only two colleagues who were good friends with Dingxi Hou continued to stay in the box.
When he sat down, Dingxi Hou must insist that Meng Jun sit on the main seat, Meng Jun refused, and modestly said that the elder should sit on the main seat, Dingxi Hou smiled: "The general is a distinguished guest invited by Benhou, and he is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, so don't shirk the main position." ”
Meng Jun saw that he had a resolute attitude and spoke boldly, so he didn't shirk it, and after thanking him, he sat down generously in the main seat.
Meng Jun's position is next to the window of the room, the window is facing the vast river of the Qujiang River, the peach blossoms on the bank are blooming, Meng Jun looked at the peach blossoms and remembered the wife at home, and couldn't help but feel guilty, spring has been here for so long, he has no time to take Jinqing out to go out.
After three rounds of drinking, the four of them exchanged a few polite words, and gradually opened up their words, and a colleague who accompanied Meng Jun smiled and said: "It's really not easy to invite the general to drink a drink."
Dingxi Hou smiled: "The general is very busy, so naturally he is not as free as you and me." ”
The man clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Hou doesn't know, the wife of the general's family is very fierce, and the general is too strict."
Displeasure rose in Meng Jun's heart, he didn't want an irrelevant person to comment on his Jinqing like this, but all the people sitting here were important ministers in the court, and the relationship behind them was intertwined, not as simple as happiness and enmity on the battlefield.
Meng Jun picked up a glass of wine, saluted, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, you don't have a fierce wife in your family, and you can't experience the good of a fierce wife."
The person who started this topic at the beginning saw that Meng Jun was unwilling to continue talking, so he bypassed it with a haha, while Ding Xihou looked at Meng Jun thoughtfully.
The generals together, the most often talked about is the battle and the troops, Dingxi Hou first praised Meng Jun's novel and bold military techniques but very effective, Meng Jun reciprocated, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye was the Taishou of Wu County and commanded the East Road Army, and it was the courage of ten thousand people."
Several people boasted to each other, and the feelings on the wine table became more enthusiastic, the more Dingxi Hou looked at Meng Jun, the more satisfied he became, and the remaining two people drank too much, and their tongues were also a little unfavorable, so it was convenient for them to help each other out.
Only Meng Jun and Dingxihou were left to sit in the box, Dingxihou patted Meng Jun's shoulder and said with emotion: "It's really terrifying, and the hero is a teenager." The old man is as old as you, but he doesn't have your achievements. ”
Meng Jun smiled humbly, and didn't take it to heart, he had heard too many such nice words. His success depends on the accumulation of more than 30 years of experience in the past two lifetimes, as well as a series of factors such as the right time and place.
Dingxi Hou didn't compliment for long, and said after a while: "General Meng, we people know that you have relied on your own real swords and guns to sit in today's position step by step, but others don't know the truth, maybe what to say about you." ”
"Oh?" Meng Jun smiled, "What do they say about me?" ”
Dingxi Hou patted Meng Jun on the back, a little indignant, "You married the queen's sister, those people don't think that you are trying to climb the queen's relationship, otherwise with your merit status, what kind of daughter can't marry?" It's a pity that you are a dignified general, and you have great achievements, and you have to bear this kind of nepotism infamy"
Meng Jun's face remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said: "The mouth grows on others, and the body is not afraid of crooked shadows, can I still block the mouths of the world's Youyou?" Let it be. ”
Dingxi Hou laughed, looked at Meng Jun and said: "Now the queen looks at the scenery, who knows what it will be like in the next year, when the emperor's filial piety period is full, it is the time to fill the harem, and the daughters of various families will enter the palace, these women, with a prominent family background, have the support of their father and brother, and the position under Gu Hou is dangerous......"
Meng Jun's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "The emperor and the queen have a very strong relationship, and these things are not something that we can discuss as courtiers. Listening to Dingxi Hou's words, Meng Jun also felt sad in his heart, Gu Ruixue is too weak, the three years of filial piety are the time that the emperor bought for her, if she can't gain a firm foothold in these three years, after the filial piety period, I am afraid that she will be slaughtered.
Dingxi Hou poured Meng Jun a glass of wine and said with a smile: "You kid has a stable temperament, I like my eldest daughter Huang Qiuyun very much, have you seen it?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Meng Jun vaguely guessed what was going on in his heart, his smile did not change, and he arched his hand and said: "The daughter raised by the Hou Ye is good looking and bearing. "Seeing that the two colleagues who went out more than now haven't come back, they must have deliberately left the two of them to talk.
Dingxi Hou patted Meng Jun's shoulder kindly, "You and I are both cheerful people, I won't go around the bend with you, just tell you directly, my daughter is one of the best in the whole capital regardless of her appearance or background, and those who ask for marriage when she is not out of the cabinet will step on the threshold of the Hou Mansion, but when I was young, I decided to marry a child and daughter with a friend of life and death, although I was reluctant, I still ruthlessly married her to Jiangnan." I didn't expect this ruthlessness to hurt my daughter. ”
Meng Jun listened casually, Miss Huang's husband's family is rich, her mother's family is powerful, she can still be taken home by her mother's family who loves her and remarry, she has no worries about food and clothing, there are more widows in this world, compared to those widows who drag their children and daughters to eat and have no food and clothing, and are bullied everywhere, she is really lucky.
Although Meng Jun wanted to express his regret for the occasion, he really couldn't raise half of the sympathy, so he could only look at Dingxihou in sadness apologetically.
Dingxi Hou looked at Meng Jun leisurely, and took a sip of tea, "I took her back from Jiangnan, and vowed to find her a wishful husband as she wished, Qiuyun came back to see a lot of people, but she took a fancy to you alone." ”
Meng Jun wanted to smile bitterly, Dingxihou's meaning was obvious, his daughter was very unfortunate and pitiful when she got married for the first time, he must give her daughter enough compensation in her second marriage, and whoever her daughter likes will go and arrest whoever he likes to be his daughter's father-in-law......
"Needless to say, Qiu Yun's appearance and temperament are all top-notch. Now the commander of the Eastern Route Army is my former subordinate, and he still listens to me, these 600,000 Eastern Route Army are the dowry that Qiuyun can't see. Dingxi Hou said meaningfully.
Meng Jun stood up and arched his hand: "Master Hou, I am only a shallow learner, I haven't read for a few days, I am just a rough person, and I am not worthy of Ling Yan." Although Jinqing is anxious, she is very good to me, and I also have affection for her, so I can't leave her. Miss Huang is beautiful and gentle, and she has a father who loves her so much, she must definitely find a wishful husband. ”
The corners of Dingxi Hou's mouth twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "General Meng, if you are willing to reconcile with Yuan Jinqing, I will find a way to let you sit on the generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty."
Meng Jun smiled and shook his head, "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, my ability is limited, and I am too busy with the affairs of the Northwest Army, I am afraid that I am not so capable of commanding the army of the whole country, and the position of generalissimo is very important, so I still have to choose a person with outstanding ability." ”
The disappointment in Dingxi Hou's eyes is obvious, it is rare for his daughter to like someone so much, even if this person is a married man, he thinks it's nothing, then Yuan Jinqing was born in the countryside, but he relied on the same lowly Gu Hou's scenery for two days, which point is comparable to his daughter?
But this Meng Jun just doesn't get in the oil and salt, no matter what kind of conditions he prescribes, he is unmoved. However, the more Meng Jun is like this, the more satisfied Dingxi Hou becomes, if a man can casually abandon his wife for the sake of fame and power, he will not look down on this man.
Ding Xihou sighed that Meng Jun was difficult, and at the same time praised his daughter's good vision, this man, whether in terms of ability or temperament, is really not picky, but unfortunately, it is someone else's family.
It's just that the coming days are long, Meng Jun and his daughter are still young, and the more Meng Jun doesn't take the bait, the more determined he is to ask Meng Jun to marry Qiuyun.
At this time, two colleagues who were convenient to go out came in, slightly drunk, sat down again, and said with a smile: "I went out for a spin and sobered up." ”
Meng Jun didn't poke them either, Dingxi Hou had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had long been an old fox, so he said with a haha: "Are you awake?" Keep drinking when you wake up."
A few more glasses of wine, Dingxi Hou was also half drunk, hugged Meng Jun's shoulders, and shouted drunkly: "Brother Meng, your temper is against my appetite, why don't I marry my daughter to you, and when the time comes, I will be a sister with your wife and work together as a husband, how about it?"
