Chapter 163: The Marriage Is Finalized
At first glance, I feel that what Li Hao said makes sense.
But Wei Shi calmed down and thought about it, didn't he ask Li Hao to persuade Gu Tingye, why did he still persuade himself.
reacted immediately, and asked, "Why have you been helping Gu Tingye talk, you really don't know about this matter, you haven't conspired with him."
Hearing this, Li Hao immediately understood that he had just said too much, and hurriedly replied, "I really didn't know about this before, but I only knew about it when you mentioned it just now, mother.
How could I let Gu Tingye use my cousin's marriage as a bargaining chip, don't I have any trust in my mother?"
However, Wei looked at Li Hao but didn't speak, that attitude really didn't seem to have any trust.
Li Hao had no choice but to explain, "And what I just said is the truth, just to explain the benefits of marrying Gu Tingye.
The exact way to do it must be up to my mother and the old lady to say, so I have no room to interject."
Anyway, Wei didn't dispel his suspicions in the end, and of course he didn't say anything.
And Li Hao's side, seeing that he had escaped a catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, and made up his mind that he would not be able to express his opinions more next time.
Otherwise, if you really want to let Wei know that you have been involved, then you will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
Later, Wei took the initiative to change the topic and talked about Li Hao's marriage: "By the way, the wedding date between you and the girl of the Zhang family has been set, and it is scheduled for March 19.
There are still more than two months to go, and you can give me a little peace in the meantime, and don't make any trouble."
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, even the official family knows about this matter now, and when I entered the palace yesterday to reply, the official family also said that I will serve in Bianjing in the future, and I will not go out for the time being."
But then again, it's not appropriate for everyone else to know about my marriage before I do."
But Wei didn't feel a problem at all after hearing this, and said, "If you hadn't left Beijing halfway, this matter would have been decided a long time ago, wouldn't you know!
Whoever asked you to go out by yourself, we can't inform you, and we can't delay any longer."
These righteous words, coupled with the appearance of angry eyes, immediately convinced Li Hao, and made Li Hao understand and quickly admit his mistake.
I'm afraid that if I am one step too late, I will fall into endless criticism.
Seeing that Li Hao realized his mistake, Wei continued: "In addition, on the day you got married, there will definitely be a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries, so I asked Mrs. Song to help with it.
You have to come with me to the Huining Marquis Mansion these days, and thank them for their help."
Li Hao said: "Okay, in addition to participating in the Great Dynasty Meeting, I should have time until the twentieth day of the first month, and my mother will set a date for us to go together."
After confirming this matter, Wei said, "You haven't had a good rest on the boat this way, so go back and rest early today."
After saying that, he let Fluttershy in and sent Li Hao away, leaving Li Hao speechless for a while.
However, Li Hao really needed to rest well, but after sleeping in the rickety cabin for a month, he suddenly fell asleep on the ground, but he didn't fall asleep so much.
So I tossed and turned in bed until late and fell asleep.
And this sleep until three o'clock in the morning, and when it was time for lunch, he was called up by Fu Deng.
After some freshening up, Li Hao came out to eat with Wei and Li Jian.
But before he had eaten two bites of the meal, he heard Wei Shi say, "When the meal is over, you and I will go to Sheng's house."
Suddenly hearing this, Li Hao didn't take a breath, and directly choked and coughed repeatedly, almost coughing out his lungs.
Seeing this, Fluttershy quickly brought a cup of tea to Li Hao.
After Li Hao drank tea and straightened out his qi, he said, "What are we going to the Sheng family to do at this time.
That Uncle Sheng has just returned to the house, and it is estimated that the house is bustling today, so we don't need to join in the excitement."
After speaking, he looked at Li Jian and asked him to quickly help say a few good words.
But Li Jian clearly understands
, knew who to listen to at home, so he turned a blind eye to Li Hao's eyes for help.
And Wei didn't care if Li Hao wanted to object, and said directly: "This matter is settled, you will come with me after eating."
After speaking, he got up and left directly, not planning to give Li Hao a chance to refute.
Seeing this, Li Hao could only helplessly follow Wei's to the Sheng family after lunch.
However, as soon as he arrived outside the mansion gate, Li Hao could feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the Sheng family, and the little guy guarding outside the mansion looked very nervous.
Seeing that Li Hao's carriage stopped, he directly prepared to drive people.
But after seeing Li Hao and Wei, he was a little stunned all of a sudden, as if he didn't know whether to drive people out.
It was Li Hao who asked him to go in to report, and this person reacted and hurriedly returned to the Sheng Mansion.
Soon, Sheng Hong went out to personally welcome Li Hao and Wei's into the house, and directly took the two to Shou'an Hall.
Along the way, Li Hao was even more sure that something must have happened to the Sheng Mansion just now, otherwise the subordinates in this mansion would not all look trembling.
Thinking about the situation again, Li Hao roughly guessed that it should be Sheng Hong's person who knew about Rulan and just got angry.
While Li Hao was thinking wildly, everyone arrived at Shou'an Hall, and at this time, in addition to the old lady, Mrs. Wang was also sitting here.
And looking at Mrs. Wang's eyes that had just cried once, it basically confirmed Li Hao's thoughts.
However, in Shou'an Hall, the serious atmosphere also made Li Hao not ask more.
But at this time, Li Hao didn't expect Sheng Hong to speak directly: "Virtuous nephew, you should have heard about it.
Unfortunately, my Sheng family has two such daughters, and now Minglan is involved, which makes me really speechless."
As soon as he heard this beginning, Li Hao felt that something was wrong, how did this seem to be a posture to throw the pot off to himself.
Sure enough, Sheng Hong's next words showed this: "But this matter must be solved after all, and for this reason, I have just punished Rulan severely.
It's just that the most important thing now is to settle the matter with the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, otherwise even if I kill Rulan, it won't help."
After saying this, even Wei Shi heard the meaning, which was nothing more than to lure Li Hao to take the initiative.
But since Li Hao reacted, he naturally wouldn't follow his idea, and by the way, he pulled Wei Shi and asked her not to speak, and then the two waited quietly to watch Sheng Hong's performance.
At this time, Sheng Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "The virtuous nephew has always been Gu Tingye's constitution, and he is familiar with many noble families, and he has a reputation in Bianjing City, I don't know if I can help go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to talk."
Seeing that Sheng Hong finally understood, Li Hao said, "If you talk about the relationship with Gu Tingye, I am not as good as Brother Changbai, and it is useless for him to speak, so I don't think I can help much.
As for Ning Yuanhou's side, I really don't have much to do with him, or my uncle will think of other ways."
Hearing Li Hao's refusal, Mrs. Wang wanted to speak.
But the old lady understands that what Mrs. Wang can say is nothing more than to directly say that she should marry Minglan .
As long as Wei still doesn't agree, then Li Hao can only be forced to participate in this matter, and he can't hide.
But doing so will inevitably hurt the relationship between the two families, and now that Li Hao is in full swing, even if he wants him to help, he can't use this method.
So he said directly: "Okay, you two husband and wife go down first, I have something to say to Brother Hao'er's mother and son."
Mrs. Wang didn't understand what she meant, and she wanted to say something more.
But Sheng Hong knew that his mother-in-law would not really put the safety of the Sheng family at risk, so he relieved himself to take Mrs. Wang away.
After the two left, the old lady was direct. asked, "Brother Hao, you have a lot of contact with Gu Tingye, what is his character?"
Li Hao replied, "Gu Tingye was true in his early years
After a while, he wandered for a while, but after reading the book, he also relented.
There was an outer chamber a few years ago, but now the person is dead.
In addition, he has been quite quiet all these years, and there are no other women around him.
Actually, I'm sure you've asked Brother Changbai about this."
The old lady said, "Yes, of course, I asked, but I also want to see your attitude.
Listening to what you just said, I should be in favor of this marriage."
Li Hao replied, "This marriage is naturally up to you, but I don't think Gu Tingye is as bad as rumored."
After Li Hao finished speaking, the inside of Shou'an Hall suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, the old lady said, "Then I bother you to go to Gu Tingye and tell him that I have something to ask him directly, and let him come to see me."
As soon as he heard this, Li Hao knew that the old lady had plans to relax, as long as Gu Tingye could deal with it, there should be no problem with this matter, so he agreed to the matter.
Then, the old lady left Wei to speak alone and drove Li Hao out.
Out of Shou'an Hall, Li Hao had nowhere else to go anyway, so he didn't delay.
After explaining to the people he brought, he rushed directly to the palace to report the news to Gu Tingye.
As a result, when he arrived at the palace and found Gu Tingye according to the guidance of the guards, he found that he was with Zhao Zhen.
So Li Hao planned to wait next to him, and after Zhao Zhen left, he was looking for Gu Tingye.
It's just that Li Hao's action was a little bigger, and before he left, he was discovered by Zhao Zhen.
When Zhao Zhen stopped Li Hao, Li Hao had no choice but to step forward and salute.
After that, Zhao Zhen asked, "Didn't I let you live and recuperate at home, why did you come to the palace, is there something to do with me?"
This question stunned Li Hao all of a sudden, and he couldn't make up a reliable reason for a while.
Coupled with Zhao Zhen's kind temper, Li Hao simply told the truth: "The minister has something to ask Commander Gu to talk about, about his life's affairs."
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Zhen became interested and said, "I have heard that the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is going to marry the Sheng family, why don't you come to talk about it.
In addition, I also heard that it seems that this Sheng family is also close to your house."
Li Hao replied, "The official family is clever, and the minister came to Commander Gu to talk about this.
In addition, the minister's aunt had married into the Sheng family, so he asked the minister to come forward and come to Commander Gu."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Since it is a lifelong event, it is indeed time to talk about it.
Commander Gu is older than you, and now that your marriage has been decided, he is indeed still in a hurry.
Let's talk about the two of you, and I'll go first."
But before Zhao Zhen walked away, he saw Gu Tingye see the stitches and said, "The official family, when it comes to the minister's marriage, the minister will not vomit or be unhappy, and ask the official family to forgive the sin."
Zhao Zhen asked, "Oh, what's the matter, let's hear about it."
Gu Tingye said, "Lord Li's marriage was given by you personally, and there are many rewards along with it.
That minister got married this time, and he didn't want to be like Master Li, but the official family can't be too favoritistic."
Hearing this, coupled with Gu Tingye's scoundrel appearance, Zhao Zhen looked funny.
He agreed, "Okay, I will give up your life to protect you at the beginning, and after you have decided to get married, I will also have a reward."
Gu Tingye immediately thanked him after hearing this, and then Zhao Zhen slowly left.
After the others walked away, Li Hao said, "You are really shameless, and you even took the initiative to ask the official family for a reward."
Gu Tingye explained: "The official family is benevolent and won't blame me for this little thing, so why don't you give it a try."
And I'm not doing this for myself, but for the sake of the faces of the two families."
After explaining, he asked, "By the way, what are you going to say when you came here, is there something going on in the Sheng family?"
Li Hao said
"I went to Sheng's house today, and Mrs. Sheng said, let you take the time to go, she wants to talk to you personally."
As soon as Gu Tingye heard this, he became excited, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll hurry up and take leave, and I'll go to the Sheng family tomorrow."
Seeing Gu Tingye's smug appearance, Li Hao hurriedly said, "What do you think, it's been a few days before the Great Dynasty Meeting, is it appropriate for you to take leave at this time?"
Gu Tingye said, "Isn't there still you, I want to marry Minglan and become your brother-in-law."
What can you do if you help me, and the process of the Great Pilgrimage is basically the same every year, didn't you do a good job last year, help me supervise a day's work."
This shameless words really made Li Hao angry, what are you doing with this, you just want to take advantage of me.
So he said, "You are taking advantage of you, it seems that I have to go back and think of a way to let the Sheng family push you."
After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Gu Tingye hurriedly said, "I was joking just now, but this matter must be decided early, so that I can feel at ease.
Otherwise, this matter will be delayed until the next year, and I don't know when it will be.
And in the next year, it is not far from the time of the examination, and I will have to settle on the name before that."
As soon as he heard this, Li Hao was overjoyed and said, "You are still guarding against Qi Heng, don't you say that he is not a threat!"
Gu Tingye said: "Be prepared, if something really happens in the province, I will regret it then."
Seeing that Gu Tingye was telling the truth, Li Hao didn't laugh, so he agreed: "Okay, then I'll come into the palace tomorrow to help you spend some time."
After that, Gu Tingye took Li Hao around the palace, handed over a few things to be done tomorrow, and then went to take leave.
And Li Hao also left the palace first and returned to the Sheng Mansion, at this time Wei was still talking to the old lady.
Li Hao went in and told the old lady the news that Gu Tingye would come tomorrow, which shocked the old lady.
said, "Shouldn't Gu Tingye be busy with the affairs of the Great Dynasty Meeting recently, how can he still have time to leave the palace."
Li Hao replied, "I just entered the palace and mentioned this matter to him, and it just so happens that he has been looking forward to talking to you in detail.
So he begged me for help, let me help him stay in the palace for a day tomorrow, and I have already agreed."
Hearing this, the old lady said, "You were willing to help, but you didn't refuse."
Then the old lady chatted with Li Hao's mother and son for a few words, and Li Hao went home with Wei.
However, on the way back, Li Hao always felt that something was wrong with Wei's eyes looking at him, but Li Hao didn't think much about it at that time.
Early the next morning, Li Hao went out of the house and entered the palace to replace Gu Tingye.
After being on duty until Shen Shi, Gu Tingye hurriedly returned to the palace and told Li Hao that the matter had been completed.
Now that he knew the result, the other Li Hao were not interested, so he went straight out of the palace and went home.
But after returning home, for a few days, Li Hao always felt that Wei's gaze on him seemed to be becoming more and more unpleasant.
That kind of look always has the feeling of looking at the rebel, which makes Li Hao always feel trembling in the house, for fear that he will accidentally provoke Wei's and then be unlucky.
