Chapter 367: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
Under Wei Qingguan's orders, Steward Li hurriedly took the people of the Xu family to see Li Chongren.
After Steward Li left, Ye Shaomin asked Wei Qingguan with an anxious face.
"They arranged for you?"
Wei Qingguan shook his head, looking helpless.
"It's not a temporary arrangement, but it has been arranged a long time ago, it's just that I was in Qianguo at the time, and no one informed me."
In this era, a woman's lifelong affairs are decided by her parents, and women have no choice at all.
In the matter of marriage, women can only do what they are told.
Xu Huixia made a good calculation, seeing that Li Qingguan had such a submissive temperament, so she arranged such a disgusting marriage.
This son of the Xu family, although Wei Qingguan has never met, he has also heard a lot of rumors about him in Sister Wang's ears.
The son of the Xu Mansion is a complete gentleman.
He's a good eater, drinker, and merrymaker.
It is said that there is also Longyang's goodness, such a disgusting man, Xu Huixia actually asked Li Qingguan to marry him, didn't this push her into the fire pit?
Xu Huixia still wants her to appreciate it.
For Xu Huixia, she felt that she was not worthy of the Xu family.
The Xu family is a big family of the Wei State and has a respected status.
I really look down on her in my heart!
Wei Qingguan patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Shao Min, you don't have to worry about this matter."
Ye Shaomin answered.
Old Man Xu took his grandson into the Li Mansion.
Li Rongshi has always been tall and arrogant, and has never had any intersection with the people in the court.
Old man Xu is sixty years old, in good spirits, and tells Xu Zipei as he walks.
"Self-cultivation, I'll see Prince Qing later, you have to be careful, don't show any horses."
His grandson spends all day drinking, and his health is not good, and he walks staggeringly and very weakly.
King Qing is a man, so he can naturally see it at a glance.
Therefore, Master Xu also repeatedly told him that he must hold on to it later, and he must not show a trace of decadence.
Xu Zipei walked slowly and said unhappily: "Grandpa, I know, my ears are calloused when you say this." ”
Old Man Xu's eyes rolled around, carefully looking at everything in the Li Mansion.
"I heard that your fiancée has recognized Li Rongshi as her father-in-law, if you marry her, this Li Mansion will be yours."
There was greed in his eyes, as if it was all under his control.
"I'll behave well later, if you can see Li Qingguan, you must coax her well, a little girl like her, seeing a handsome man like you, will definitely be tempted."
"What Grandpa said is very true." Xu Zipei echoed.
He quickly patted his chest.
"No woman can escape my clutches, including this Li Qingguan."
The corners of his mouth curled into a smug arc.
Old Man Xu stroked his beard and smiled.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look."
Although the voices of the two of them were small, the secret guards of the Li Mansion could hear them clearly.
The secret guard hurriedly reported to Li Rongshi.
Li Rongshi was practicing calligraphy, and after listening to the words of the secret guard, in a fit of anger, he threw the brush into the inkstone, and the ink splashed everywhere.
A few drops fell on him, and he flicked his sleeves and cursed angrily.
"This person from the Xu family really doesn't know how thick the sky is, why does Qingguan take a fancy to him, and he doesn't pee to take care of himself, it's ridiculous."
When has the dark guard ever seen his master scold someone like this?
He almost burst out laughing.
Li Rongshi waved his hand: "Stand down!" ”
Li Rongshi waved his hand to let the secret guard retreat, walked to the ear room in the study, and changed into clean clothes.
Immediately afterwards, he left the study and left the Li Mansion directly.
In the front hall of the Li Mansion, Xu Zipei looked at the Taishi chair made of golden silk nanmu, and a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
He sighed secretly in his heart, the Li family is really rich!
As soon as he thought of marrying the county lord of Qingguan and sitting on a huge amount of money, he was overjoyed.
The grandfather and grandson greedily walked around the front hall of the Li family, and then looked at each other, each with a ghost.
Xu Zipei is a hairy boy after all, and the greed in his heart can't be concealed, and his vicious thoughts are overflowing.
Even Steward Li, who was on the side, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene, feeling that the county lord was probably going to fall into the wolf's den this time.
Xu Zipei's grandfather and grandson waited in the front hall for a while, and when they saw that Li Chongren was nowhere to be seen, they asked Manager Li what was going on.
"Steward Li, have you sent someone to report, it's been so long, Prince Qing hasn't seen us!"
Steward Li looked at him coldly and said coldly.
"Xu Gongzi, this is the Li Mansion, not the Wangfu, the prince is a distinguished guest of the Li Mansion, since Xu Gongzi is here, of course he must see my husband first."
He said slowly.
"My master is not here, if you insist on seeing you, please be patient."
Xu Zipei's face suddenly turned pale, knowing that the Li family was deliberately making things difficult.
He frowned slightly angrily and casually looked at his grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet Prince Qing today."
Old Man Xu was also angry, but he still kept a smile on his face.
"Steward Li, this is not right, the county lord of Qingguan has been recognized by Mr. Li as his goddaughter, the Li Mansion is the home of the county lord of Qingguan, and Mr. Li is the father of the county lord of Qingguan."
He glorifies his indiscretions.
"It just so happens that King Qing is also in the Li Mansion, and the daughter's lifelong event, the two of them as fathers are naturally the most concerned, so we came to the Li Mansion, and the two fathers of the county lord discussed the marriage."
"In this way, it can also show that our Xu family treats everyone equally, otherwise the marriage is a big event, the two fathers of the county lord, and our Xu family doesn't know who to see, I'm afraid we will offend the two fathers of the county lord."
This old man Xu is really a person who can speak the truth, and he can say that he is alive when he dies.
It was obvious that they were reckless, but they found such a seamless reason.
Steward Li had a disgusted expression on his face.
"Master Xu, the person who came is a guest, as a subordinate, naturally we don't dare to slack off, my husband is indeed not there."
"King Qing is not feeling well, so he can't see the two."
The muscles on Old Man Xu's face twitched, a little embarrassed.
Steward Li's words implied that their grandfather and grandson had no sense of proportion, and King Qing was now very ill and it was inconvenient to see them.
Old Man Xu knew that what Steward Li said was true, and he laughed out loud, wanting to save his face.
"We also know that King Qing is sick, isn't it just right, the county lord is married, and he can give the palace joy."
Steward Li almost didn't roll his eyes, but he had seen a lot of strange people in the Li Mansion for so many years.
He smiled politely.
"Master Xu, you are very thoughtful, however, some things still depend on King Qing's intentions, and it is useless for you to think unilaterally."
"Yes, yes, Steward Li is right." Old Man Xu echoed with a smile.
"If Master Xu wants to wait for our husband, then you can continue to wait."
After speaking, Steward Li clenched his fists and said goodbye.
After Steward Li left, Old Man Xu whispered to his grandson: "Look at these people, what kind of virtue are they all at, and you still think that Li Qingguan is so noble!" ”
His words were full of malice.
"Although Li Qingguan is a county lord, he grew up in the countryside, there are no rules, and he can't be on the stage at all, and they still treat her as a treasure."
"If it weren't for your aunt's face, my Xu family would find a girl at random, and she would be better than her."
Xu Zipei deeply agrees with this.
"Grandpa, what you said is very true!"
Both of them didn't like this marriage very much, but they couldn't refuse Xu Huixia's request.
Xu Huixia asked them to do whatever they wanted, otherwise with her pungent temperament, they would definitely want them to look good.
Although this Qingguan county lord is a wild girl, she is rich!
The Li family is rich and rivals the country, if she inherits the family business of the Li family, then the Xu family will not suffer a loss if she marries her.
