Chapter 188: Who to Marry
After Zhou Jinxuan returned home, he ordered the yamen to interrogate those beggars to who slandered Zhou Zheng like this.
The beggars couldn't stand the torture and confessed one after another, and it was the slaves and maids of the Dingguo Mansion who gave them money to do it.
Over there, Miao Ruolan learned that the beggars had been arrested, and she was so anxious that she immediately went to find her father Miao Cunbai.
"Father save me!" Miao Ruolan told what had happened, "Zhou Jinxuan must find out the mastermind behind the scenes this time to vent his daughter's anger." The daughter was confused for a while, but she didn't want to be found out by Wu Guogong in the end. ”
Miao Cunbai said: "You! It's just too much to breathe! Who is Zhou Jinxuan? Can such a crude strategy not be seen through by him? Now that the matter has come to this, how can you let your father help you? Do you want to bribe the yamen? This black gauze hat for my father was still given by the emperor! Where did the father get such a big face! ”
Miao Ruolan knelt down and said, "In short, the father must save his daughter!" The daughter will never be reckless again! ”
Miao Cunbai shook his sleeves and said, "Just remember not to do this in the future." ”
What else can Miao Cunbai do? He could only go and beg the emperor.
Wu Guogong Mansion.
The night is miserable. Zhou Zheng planted a few extravagant flowers in front of the court, and just watered the flowers quietly every day.
Tai Academy has not been there for a few days, and in the summer, stepping on the tail of spring, Zhou Zheng changed into a silk embroidered dress with puff sleeves, and looked pretty good.
Narcissus came over and said, "Girl, Wu Guogong asked the slave maid to tell the girl that those beggars have been beheaded. The girl let out a sigh of relief. ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned: "Why is this happening?" Didn't my father know that there were people behind those beggars? ”
Narcissus said: "It's strange to say, just now a little eyebrows, the emperor suddenly came down with a holy decree, saying that it was for the girl and the Duke of Wu Guo's mansion, and all those beggars were signed and pledged, and they were immediately dragged out and beheaded, and none of them were left." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes were sharp, "The emperor actually intervened in this matter?" ”
Thinking of Zhou Jinxuan's birthday that day, the emperor sent the Praetorian Guards to suddenly break into the mansion of Wu Guogong, and the voices were all about Zhou Jinxuan's death, Zhou Zhengzheng couldn't help but be a little afraid.
It seems that Zhou Jinxuan wants to be safe and healthy, and he must change the emperor.
However, just as she persuaded Zhou Jinxuan in the past, looking at the princes and grandsons, Lin Zhongchao is the closest to the Duke of Wu regardless of his talent and affinity.
It's a pity that this time he almost turned his face with Lin Zhongchao.
Although it is impossible between her and Lin Zhongchao, Zhou Zhengzheng still hopes that Zhou Jinxuan can cooperate with Lin Zhongchao, after all, only by cooperating can the two of them achieve a win-win situation.
However, she also knew that Zhou Jinxuan would never have anything to do with Lin Zhongchao out of order to protect Zhou Zhengzheng.
What to do? Zhou Zhengzheng pressed the corner of his forehead, and he had a headache.
Since his rebirth, he has always been victorious, but emotionally, he has lost so badly.
She "posted" it to him like this, but he still didn't appreciate it.
Zhou Zheng was tired and tired, and he made up his mind to give up, but he would not become an enemy with Lin Zhongchao.
"Grandpa Wu is very angry, and he has already set off, planning to meet the emperor and ask what happened." Narcissus continued.
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "What did my mother say? ”
Narcissus said: "The Duchess received an invitation from the four princes early in the morning to enjoy the flowers. The fourth prince originally invited Grandpa Wu, but Grandpa Guo didn't have time to go, so Duchess went over for Grandpa Guo. ”
Zhou Zheng put the kettle on the table, his eyebrows furrowed, "The fourth prince invited my father to enjoy the flowers?" Although the fourth prince and the former prince are also relatives, they have not moved around with our Wu Guogong Mansion for many years, why did they invite my father at this time? Father, out of the prince's thin face, will not refuse. He's weird. ”
Narcissus said, "Girl, the slave maid thinks that the girl should first care about the recent rumors. The girl's reputation has been ruined, and recently, no one has come to be a matchmaker. In the past, people who came to be matchmakers every day could be said to have broken through the threshold. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng smiled slightly: "I'm too lazy to be quiet if I don't come to be a matchmaker." ”
"The girl can even laugh!" Narcissus pouted and said, "According to the slave maid, King Yu should be cut by a thousand knives!" Zhou Zhengzheng smiled: "When did you become so ruthless?" People have nothing to do with me anymore, so why do you still talk about them? ”
Narcissus said: "The girl doesn't hold grudges, but Qingyun and I both remember grudges!" If he dares to approach the girl again, we will be rude to him! ”
Not long after, Zhou Jinxuan came back and asked the slave to invite Zhou Zhengzheng.
Zhou Zheng passed, and Zhou Jinxuan said: "This thing is really what the emperor meant!" The emperor intends to play a round between me and the Dingguo Mansion! However, I didn't say yes! ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Father, this is the emperor wants to make peace with the Duke of Wu and the Duke of Dingguo, and my father does not agree, isn't it equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face?" Father should behave in front of the emperor. ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "The Dingguo Mansion dares to slander my daughter! I will never forgive them! How else to behave! ”
Zhou Zhengzheng shook his head, Zhou Jinxuan is like this, his personality is more inclined to martial arts, if he doesn't forgive, he won't forgive, no wonder Emperor Qingfeng wants to get rid of his father so much.
"And then?" Zhou Zhengzheng personally poured tea for Zhou Jinxuan.
Zhou Jinxuan took the teacup, brushed off the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and said: "Later, when the emperor saw that he didn't move me, he said that he wanted to give me a happy event, I don't know if I want to do it." I asked carefully, it turned out that the emperor wanted to marry you to the four princes! It was also said that the four princes took the initiative to mention it. ”
Zhou Zheng was shocked: "No wonder, the fourth prince suddenly walked around with our Wu Guogong Mansion, it turned out that he had this idea." ”
Zhou Jinxuan pulled Zhou Zheng to his side and said, "Ah Zheng, my father did not object to this matter in front of the emperor. ”
What the?
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "My father has no objection, what if the emperor gives me and the four princes a marriage?" So what to do? ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "The four princes are too mediocre, and the emperor will not give the position of the crown prince to the four princes." Nowadays, there are almost no matchmakers, and the four princes are also princes, and it is possible to live a good life with you. ”
"But the father and the daughter don't like him." Zhou Zhengzheng felt very sudden.
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Marriage is originally the order of your parents, and you haven't met yet, so naturally you can't talk about liking it?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "But didn't my father never plan to marry his daughter to the prince in the past? Why is it ...... now?"
Zhou Jinxuan pressed his knee and said, "The emperor is too mediocre, he actually shielded the Dingguo Mansion and hurt my daughter, I don't plan to do something, am I still a fool?" ”
"Do something? What is my father going to do? The more Zhou Zheng listened, the more he didn't understand.
