In such a matter as marriage, I am afraid that the old people will be involved, because they will affect the rhythm and even change the result.

The old people always seem to be extreme. When faced with a marriage, if they do not agree, they will stir it up; If they agree, they are anxious and want to get married as soon as possible. got married, and had children. Rush them to the point where you can't do it.

At Tang Mei's request, Su Bottle proposed marriage three times, but the county lord refused three times. Because she felt that Su Bottle did not show the enthusiasm that pursuing her beloved woman should have. Now she is still angry with Su Bottle, wanting to see if Su Bottle will propose to her if she doesn't ask.

At this time, the father of the Su family came. Su Mantang took out all the money in his pocket, bought gifts, hired helpers, beat gongs and drums and came to the Guogong Mansion. And he didn't mention the media, but asked the county lord to withdraw the letter of resignation. On behalf of the Su family, he came to apologize to the county lord.

Daddy's behavior made Su Bottle angry.

Su Bottle believes that the move is humble. However, in the concept of the Liang Dynasty, there is a very deep and strict concept of hierarchy. Daddy thinks he's not going too far. The other party is the county lord of the second grade, my good man, you should be soft and soft, otherwise the benefits of the Su family will be in vain.

Dad is a person with strong executive ability, with a stubborn personality, words can't stop him, and Su Bottle will never knock him down with one punch.

And Su Bottle's "can't be stopped" is a kind of "initiative" in Tang Mei's view. In addition, the father of the Su family is indeed very active. And his weight far exceeds that of Feng Die's mother, in a sense, the father of the Su family is Tang Mei's elder.

This time Tang Mei agreed.

Of course, the process of her agreement was also very grand, for example, she called two side concubines to visit, as well as several sons and wives.

The father of the Su family was very happy, and when he saw the two side concubines, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. It is worth mentioning that although Daddy's behavior made Su Bei despised, this was the normal performance of the Liang Dynasty. When ordinary people see officials, they have to kneel. When the common people saw the nobles, they knelt down. When the low product sees the high product, he must also kneel. This is formal etiquette and does not involve a matter of face.

But Su Bottle is very disgusted with kneeling, and he will not kneel unless a group of people kneel. Whether it was seeing Concubine Fan, Xue Shilang, Tang Mei, or even the prince of Qi, he didn't kneel. Actually, this is very rude. But he has this problem.

Although Tang Mei agreed this time, there were new problems. In the past, Miss Six's marriage was decided by the Guogong Mansion, but now it is different. She is the lord of the imperial county, and her marriage must be reviewed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Tang family submitted a request, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported it to the emperor, and the emperor approved it before agreeing.

Usually, the emperor is too lazy to take care of this kind of mother-in-law's mother's affairs, and it is all left to the queen to do. But for Tang Mei's marriage, Emperor Wanlong showed special enthusiasm, and he personally approved the four words "trial marriage observation".

In other words, the emperor generally agreed, and during this period, Tang Mei could no longer accept other people's requests for marriage. Otherwise, it is to play the emperor. When the news spreads, those who mention the media will also die down and dare not bother again.

Zhang Dali, the eunuch of the Governor of the Inner Service Province, said solemnly: "Your Majesty requires a trial marriage, and the results of the trial marriage must be reported to the Inner Service Province within half a year." When the time comes, we'll have to ask for it ourselves. What is the character of the candidate Junma? Are you in good health? Is the test girl pregnant? How do you feel about internal affairs......"

Zhang Dali gushed endlessly, and Tang Mei's blood surged.

The trial marriage was set by the founding emperor Zhao Luo, and has always been criticized. Especially the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty hated this matter even more. He scolded the Northern Dynasty as a Hu people, and only a regime established by the Hu people would adopt such an unkind policy. The Northern Dynasty also scolded the Southern Dynasty, because the Southern Dynasty royal family had the evil method of burying the living, and there was also a serious phenomenon of close relatives marrying within the royal family. The two sides are arguing and scolding each other for a hundred years.

It is worth mentioning that no matter what the land of Shenzhou is divided into, the people of Shenzhou have the concept of unification. In the population of the Northern Dynasties, the Liang Dynasty was orthodox. In the population of the Southern Dynasties, the Jin Dynasty was orthodox. They all said that the other party was a barbarian and wanted to kill the other party. But no matter how much they quarrel or scold, the concept that everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang has never changed.

After talking for a long time, Zhang Dali's mouth was dry, Tang Kuan ordered someone to offer hot tea, Zhang Dali sat on the couch, and Tang Kuan respected each other.

Moistening his throat, Zhang Dali said: "According to the old practice, the princess chooses eight horses to try marriage, and the county lord chooses four county horses to try marriage, and the queen chooses a palace maid." And the lord of Ayutthaya, referring to the princess theory. But the emperor said that now that there is a shortage of palace maids in the harem, let Lord Meijun choose people by himself. Hehe, in our family's opinion, it is not that there are no palace maids to send, but that the emperor deliberately takes care of the feelings of Lord Meijun. ”

Tang Kuan's eyes rolled and he didn't speak.

Tang Mei said coldly: "What if you don't try to get married?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dali's face sank: "Lord Mei, you can't be temperamental in this matter." If you are not happy, choose a few less test girls, our family can open and close one eye, but if you don't do it, then our family will also be embarrassed. ”

……

"Wang Shuangxi! How did you do it! The one surnamed Su, why is he still alive! ”

The palace of the king of Qi, the plum garden, the house of the prince Zhao Lian.

Closing the door, Zhao Lian patted the table and asked Wang Shuangxi: "Wasn't it easy for you to kill someone before?" How to drag on this time has no result! ”

Wang Shuangxi said with a sad face: "The prince of the world is angry, and Long Tiangang is almost here." ”

"It's almost there, it's almost there, where are the people!"

"Count the day, yesterday should have arrived."

Zhao Lian shouted: "Tang Mei has already chosen a son-in-law!" She really chose the one surnamed Su again! ”

Zhao Lian sat down discouragedly and said with a bitter face: "I know that these women like little white faces." But what's so good about a little white face? Do men eat by their faces? Is a person who eats by his face still called a man? ”

Wang Shuangxi said: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, the county lord is married, and he wants to try to get married." There are still some days left for them to hold the wedding. During this period, the person surnamed Su must be killed! ”

Zhao Lian stood up, pushed open the window, and looked at the plum tree outside the window with sad eyes: "Amei, I believe that no one in the world loves you more than me, if you can come to my house, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world......"

……

When Su Mantang proposed, Su Bottle had already left Luoyang with Mei Ran and went to Shou'an County.

The reason why Shou'an was chosen was because there were once three landlords who jointly sued Qiao Dongming, the nephew of King Qi's wife, for forcible seizure. But the three landlords have been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion.

"Qiu Yue has worked in the Criminal Department for more than 20 years, although the credit is not large, but the hard work is not small, and the result is planted in this "Purging the Business Thief Case". If you want me to say, he still doesn't understand. ”

Entering Shou'an City, Su Bottle chose a thriving tavern, ordered a water basin mutton, the water basin was steaming, and the two of them raised their chopsticks at the same time, eating until the tip of their noses was sweating.

Mei Ran asked, "Why don't you understand?" I think Qiu Yue understands the case, he has already investigated these cases, but when he got to Qiao Dongming, he didn't dare to investigate it anymore. ”

Su Bottle said: "I'm not saying that he doesn't understand the case, but he doesn't understand the officialdom." What is officialdom? It's the most humane place. No matter how strong the ability to do things is, you must also consider the sophistication of people, otherwise it will be the number of lives that will be eliminated. ”

Mei Ran said: "Now that you take over this case, do you think you can investigate it?" If it were me, I would also hand it over to Xue Shilang. He can't do it, so why should he let me go? ”

Su Bottle said: "You and Qiu Yue are a problem. If you don't understand, it's because your ability is not good, and Xue Pang may not have to punish you. Even if it is punished, at most it will transfer you away, but it will not take your grade away. But you guys, you have to be angry with the waiter, and hand over the case to the waiter, which can be regarded as picking. You are a matter of attitude, and this is a challenge to the authority of the squire. The favor is in this. ”

Mei Ran stopped eating: "Did you answer my question?" Let me ask you, can you still investigate this case now? ”

Su Bottle felt that she had answered her question, and it was obvious that Mei Ran had failed to understand, so Su Bottle said, "Why can't you check it?" Poked hard, stabbed King Qi in a hurry, he went to Xue Pang and said, what does it have to do with me? ”

"To put it lightly, if that's the case, why should Qiu Yue give up?" Mei Ran said quickly.

"Do you still need to ask? King Qi's people must have threatened Qiu Yue. Su Bottle boasted: "But I'm not afraid of threats." ”

Mei Ran worried: "Don't be careless, if you go to the case, people will kill you." ”

Su Bottle sighed: "I guess those people may be trying to 'kill chickens and make an example of monkeys'." But I don't think King Qi needs to do this. You tell me? ”

Mei Ran sneered: "Are you a chicken? ”

Su Bottle Muran.

Mei Ran smiled evilly, ate a mouthful of food and said, "Will Xue Shilang send others to continue to investigate corruption cases?" ”

Su Bottle shrugged: "Actually, there is enough evidence in the corruption case. The reason why Xue Pang was willing to let go was not because of the evidence, but because he felt that the emperor had other opinions. However, with Xue Pang's temper, he was eager to arrest all the eighteen officials. He was able to pull me out, maybe he thought he was taking care of me, but I didn't appreciate it. ”

Mei Ran asked: "Then how can you appreciate it?" ”

Su Bottle smiled: "You should give me some bounty, and give me a few days off or something." ”

Mei Ran pouted and said, "Take your beauty." ”

Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves on the street, Su Bottle turned his head to look out the window, and a group of people and horses were bright and bright, and saw that the armor system was the Xuanjia Army. But they didn't play the flag, and they didn't know which guard they belonged to.

The first officer is a centurion, five big and three coarse. In front of the centurion's restaurant, he jumped off the horse and shouted: "Shop! Sift ten catties of wine and cut fifty catties of mutton! ”

While speaking, ten more people jumped off their horses, accompanied by the sound of iron armor rubbing, and walked into the house: "Shopkeeper, I have covered all the expenses of these people in the house, let them go out quickly." I can tell you, if our prince comes in a while, there are still outsiders here, and I won't spare you. ”
