Chapter 90: You Must Marry
Luoyang City is very large, as the capital of the Dajin Dynasty, there are the most luxurious palaces in the world, the most prestigious Spring and Autumn Academy in the world, and also accommodate dozens of princes and generals' mansions, and among them, including five of the nine great families of Jinguo.
Weininghou Mansion is one of them.
In this huge capital, every wealthy mansion has its own historical story, and the relationship between each other is far from being as simple as the world imagines, but incomparably intricate and intertwined.
For example, everyone in Luoyang City knows that the relationship between the Qin Family Benevolence Hall and the Weining Marquis Mansion is incompatible.
It's a very strange thing.
It stands to reason that the Qin family is in charge of the world's financial power, while the Ye family holds the military and political power, and the interests of the two do not conflict, and even from a certain point of view, Qin Xiaohua should be Ye Shuai's most solid backing for life and death on the front line.
But the relationship between the two families is so bad, why?
No one knows, or even those who do, dare not make the reason public.
If you think about it carefully, the relationship between the Qin family and the Ye family should have started more than ten years ago......
Of course, all this was not important to Xia Sheng, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his identity as a good hall guest and the Ye family's son-in-law at the same time, he told Bi Qingwen that he would go to the Weining Marquis Mansion, so he really went.
didn't care at all about the incomparably wonderful look on Bi Qingwen's face.
Before this, of course, Xia Sheng had been to Luoyang, but that was already the story of five hundred years ago, when the Dajin Dynasty had not yet set the capital, and Luoyang City was not an imperial city.
Fortunately, the Weining Marquis Mansion was not difficult to find, Ning Zheng asked people along the way, led the way in front, and soon took Xia Sheng and Meng Qi to the front of this heavily guarded mansion.
What is a little surprising is that even in this imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people used by the Marquis of Weining Mansion to watch the gate guard courtyard turned out to be two powerhouses of the dignified martial arts realm.
But I don't know if the security in this capital is not very good, or Ye Jiang wants to show the world the majesty of the Thorn Army Marshal's Mansion.
Xia Sheng took the lead and reported his home to the two, which immediately attracted bursts of exclamations.
"You're Xia Sheng?"
"That Xia Sheng who made a marriage contract with our young lady?"
Such a reaction caught Xia Sheng a little off guard, he didn't expect that his marriage contract with Ye Xiao'e, not to mention in the Weining Hou Mansion, even in the entire Luoyang City, was no secret for a long time.
Thinking of this, Xia Sheng suddenly realized, is it because of this incident that Shantang's attitude towards himself has become so indifferent?
In a moment when Xia Sheng was stunned, the two martial artists who guarded the door didn't dare to ask more, one immediately went in to report, and the other respectfully invited Xia Sheng and his party in.
It didn't take long for the news that the little aunt of the Weining Marquis Mansion came to worship the door spread throughout the entire Shuai Mansion, and in another hour, it would spread throughout the entire Luoyang City.
Such a situation was completely unexpected by Xia Sheng, but what he didn't expect was that he, Ning Zheng, and Meng Qi had been sitting in the hall for almost half an hour, and the tea in the cup had been changed I don't know how many times.
The three of them sat in the room for another quarter of an hour in such a slightly embarrassed way, Meng Qi finally couldn't help it, and immediately held the Wind Suppression Blade in his sleeve in his hand, and asked Xia Sheng with murderous intent: "Engong, do you want me to ......?"
Xia Sheng rolled his eyes unceremoniously, and immediately interrupted him: "Here today, you are not allowed to kill, you are not allowed to do anything, and you are not allowed to talk later!"
Meng Qi pursed his lips, and the boss reluctantly sat back, but the gaze of the group of servants outside the door made people feel cold, and they didn't dare to look directly.
I don't know if Meng Qi's aura is too terrifying, it didn't take long for those maids and servants to really disappear from outside the door, and after a while, except for Wang Er, who stayed to pour tea and water for Xia Sheng and the others, there was no one left outside the front courtyard of the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became a kind of solemn smell for some reason.
Ning Zheng lowered his voice and said in Xia Sheng's ear, "Sir, something is wrong. ”
In this regard, Xia Sheng just shook his head: "If you come, you will be safe, since people didn't kick us out, there is no malice." ”
As the words fell, the rain outside the house suddenly stopped, and a slight sound of treading water came from a distance, although no one was seen, but just from this footsteps, there was a certain elegant taste.
The next moment, a graceful and noble woman, supported by the maid, walked slowly into the field of vision of the three of them, with calm writing on her face and extremely calm steps.
Although the wind and frost of the years have left cruel traces on Mrs. Ye's face, it is still not difficult to see that when she was young, this must have been a beautiful woman with peerless elegance.
It is said that this Mrs. Ye was also an extremely violent person back then, and many young masters of princes and nobles who pursued her with Ye Shuai at the beginning were not often beaten out of the door by her.
But I never thought that after twenty or thirty years, Mrs. Ye now has the demeanor of a wealthy family.
Although this was the first time Xia Sheng saw Mrs. Ye, he still recognized the identity of the other party at the first time, immediately stood up from the chair, and began to perform a junior salute.
Mrs. Ye raised her hand slightly, signaling that she didn't need to be polite, sat down on the main seat, took the hot tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "You are Xia Sheng?"
Xia Sheng nodded: "Exactly." ”
As he spoke, Xia Sheng reached into his arms, carefully took out the marriage book, and handed it forward.
Mrs. Ye took the marriage letter, did not read it, but gently held it under her palm, and continued to greet her: "When did you come to the capital?
Xia Sheng hesitated for a moment, and only answered the previous question: "I just arrived this morning." ”
"Well......" Mrs. Ye nodded, like an elder, and said with concern: "Have you found a place to live?" Since you are here, you will stay for a few more days, and I will tell my subordinates to find a garden for you to live in first, and then take you to see the White Horse Temple tomorrow, but it is a pity that it has been rainy for the past two days, otherwise it is good to go to Qingjiang Bridge to enjoy the flowers. ”
Xia Sheng smiled: "Madam, I came this time, not mainly to visit scenic spots and scenery, but to ......."
Without waiting for Xia Sheng to finish speaking, Mrs. Ye's face suddenly turned cold, and she interrupted: "I know that this marriage contract was made by my husband and Lord Ling Zun, saying that it was to repay the grace of saving his life in the Thorn Army in the past. ”
Hearing this, Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Mrs. Ye suddenly mentioned this matter, so he could only shake his head and say, "My father didn't tell me about it." ”
Mrs. Ye raised her hand lightly and said coldly: "No, you didn't understand what I meant, I wanted to say that this marriage was decided by my husband, but I, including this Weining Marquis Mansion, disagree." ”
After speaking, Mrs. Ye picked up the marriage book on the table, simply tore it to shreds, and didn't read a word when she came to the end.
This scene couldn't help but make Ning Zheng and Meng Qi shocked, Ning Zheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Madam......"
However, Ning Zheng's words had just begun, and he was stopped by Xia Sheng, and when he turned his head to look, Xia Sheng's face suddenly filled with an incomparably bright smile.
"Mrs. Ye, originally for me, it doesn't matter at all whether I want to marry your eldest lady of the Weining Hou Mansion, for you, I am just a dirt bun from a mountain town, how can I be worthy of Ye Shuai's daughter? ”
Xia Sheng's reply surprised Mrs. Ye, and she couldn't help but nod with relief: "It's good that you can understand." ”
But then, Xia Sheng shook his head: "No, Mrs. Ye, you didn't understand what I meant, I just want to say, I don't care about this marriage, but I promised my father that he will definitely marry Xiao'e into the door, I can understand your approach, but I won't agree." Therefore, whether there is this marriage book or not, the eldest lady of your Ye family, I am married!"
