Let's say that Li Jue and Tang Ke drove to Anfu, and An Lizheng personally took Steward Li to greet him outside the door.

Tang and Li saw that An Li was taking the housekeeper out of the house, so they also got off the carriage and stepped forward to give up, Tang Ke said: "The in-laws are safe!"

An Lizheng also arched his hand and said: "The two adults are coming from afar, please come to the living room to talk!"

Tang and Li came to the living room with An Lizheng, and after the ceremony, Tang Ke got straight to the point and said: "I came with Lord Li today, but I came to discuss the marriage date of the two families with my in-laws. Please don't shirk your in-laws!"

An Lizheng said: "We are all ministers of the imperial court, and we should put state affairs first and private affairs lightly. Now that the imperial court is negotiating peace with Dajin, and the country is in a troubled time, as the first and auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, we should not be private first and then public, and it is not appropriate to talk about the marriage of children at this time, and we should share the worries of the emperor!"

Li Jue said: "What Lord An said is very true, as courtiers of the court, we should really share the emperor's worries at this time. But the marriage of children should not be delayed. The ancients said: 'Men should marry, women should marry' this natural principle. Your two families have agreed to this family business, and they are the right people. It's better to do this marriage as soon as possible, and it will save the two adults from being distracted by this child's affairs, and they can't take care of the government with peace of mind. I don't know what Lord An thinks?"

When Tang Ke heard Li Jue's words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Master Li is reasonable, this children's marriage is a major event in the hearts of parents all over the world, if it can be done as soon as possible, it will be a matter of being a parent!"

An Lizheng said: "You and I are all prominent officials in the imperial court, and the marriage of children cannot be hasty. Respect the ancient rites. The Son of Heaven is one year, the Princes wait for half a year, and the scholars have one season. Commoners January. Both of us are the first and auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, and we will marry after half a year, I don't know if it is possible?"

Tang Ke heard this and thought secretly: "Wu'er is really right, today's view of An Lizheng's words has the intention of repentance, if it weren't for the handle of this person in my hand, this person would definitely not want to marry my daughter." If you wait another half a year, the world is unpredictable. Then he said: "What the father-in-law said is true, but as the saying goes, you should obey the power." Nowadays, there are many affairs in the imperial court. The Jin people invaded south step by step, and the emperor could not leave us day and night. As the first and auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, we should put state affairs first, but the marriage of our children is also a concern for us, if we can handle this matter as soon as possible. That's it, but it's a big deal. Only then can we serve the imperial court wholeheartedly! Please also ask your father-in-law not to shirk!"

Li Jue said: "Since your two families have agreed to this marriage, it is better to take advantage of this marriage in the next few days." lest they fight back and forth, but hurt the harmony of the two families!"

An Lizheng thought secretly and said: "Now that my son has a handle in the hands of Tang Ke, a traitor, if I don't agree to get married as soon as possible, I am afraid that Tang Ke, this old thing, will be ruthless and go to the emperor to find out what is wrong with my son." If it really comes to this point, my whole family will be separated from my wife. An Li was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Tang Ke say: "If An Daren refuses to agree to get married as soon as possible." The old man will take his leave!" Then he got up and wanted to leave.

Li Jue hurriedly advised: "Lord Tang doesn't need to be angry, and let An think twice!" He turned around and said to An Lizheng: "An Da might as well just answer, and now the court is an eventful autumn, and I don't know how the government will change in half a year!

Anritsu was forced to be impatient, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

Tang Ke saw An Lizheng nodding in agreement, and his heart was overjoyed, and he stepped forward to say that An Lizheng said: "If the father-in-law answers, then the marriage will be completed in three days! I have already asked someone to calculate, and three days later will be November 20, which is the auspicious day of the zodiac." ”

An Lizheng said: "This matter depends on Lord Tang!"

Tang Ke and Li Jue went home!

After An Li waited for Tang and Li to leave, he went to the wing room and told Mrs. Yu about the promise to Tang Ke.

The lady was shocked when she heard this, and said, "How could Tang Ke's traitor be so anxious to marry my family's Rong'er?"

An Lizheng said: "Tang Ke's traitor is a traitor, and he is worried that he will have a lot of dreams at night, and he will only feel at ease if he takes my family Rong'er through the door." It's a pity that my family Rong'er will suffer in the future!" After that, he sighed a few times. Suddenly, he asked again: "Rong'er is going to pass through the door in three days, how will Rong'er answer this?"

Mrs. said: "I didn't expect the Tang family to be in such a hurry to get Rong'er over, and I haven't told Rong'er yet!"

An Lizheng became more and more angry when he heard this, and said: "I ask you to tell Rong'er about this as soon as possible, and discuss it with Rong'er." It's good that Rong'er has a mental preparation, now there are only three days before the Tang family will come to pick up Rong'er, how can Rong'er be born?

But the lady cried loudly, and kept shouting: "My son's life is so miserable, and he did evil in his previous life!"

Although An Lizheng is an official of the imperial court, he is usually extremely open-minded. But at the moment, the mood is extremely bad. After a few long sighs, he went to the boudoir of the young lady in the back.

When the lady saw that her husband had gone to her daughter's boudoir, she also hurriedly got up and followed her.

An Lizheng came to the young lady's room, gently pushed the door open, and saw that his daughter was concentrating on embroidery, so he stood at the door and couldn't bear to come forward to disturb. I saw that my daughter was as beautiful as a flower, dignified and beautiful, and she was smart and capable. As soon as I thought of marrying my daughter to Tang Gui, I felt like I had drunk a cup of yellow lotus in my heart, and I was miserable! How many times I wanted to say and stopped, after all, I still didn't have the courage to walk over and tell my daughter about this unbearable marriage. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw that his wife had already stood at the door at some point.

After An Lerong concentrated on embroidering a few stitches, she suddenly looked up, and her parents were standing at her door with sad faces. An Lerong was shocked when she saw this, hurriedly stopped the embroidery in her hand, and stepped forward to ask, "Father, mother, why are you so worried when you come to your daughter's room?"

An Zhengli first instructed the maid Miao Ju and said: "Ju'er, you step back first, I have something to discuss with Rong'er!"

Miao Ju heard the words and left first. An Lerong asked, "Dad, mother, what do you have to discuss with your daughter?"

An Lizheng said: "This matter is really difficult for my father to talk about! Don't blame my father, my father is also forced to be impatient!"

An Lerong was shocked and suspicious when she heard this, and asked, "What is the matter?

An Lizheng said: "My father has promised you and Tang Gui's marriage!"

An Lerong suddenly heard her father's words, her heart was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and she asked in shock: "Daddy knows that Tang Gui is like a scoundrel in the market, why do you still agree to this, my daughter is heartbroken when she hears her father's words!"

Mrs. was beside her, and persuaded An Lerong to say: "Your father doesn't want to agree to this family business, but if your father doesn't agree to this, the traitor will kill your brother, and maybe your father will be imprisoned!"

An Lerong couldn't understand what mistake her brother had made at this time, so she asked: "My brother is far away in Tai'an Prefecture, what mistake did he make?"

An Lizheng said: "Brother Ru didn't make a mistake, he was only killed by a traitor, and he ended up in the hands of Tang Ke, and Tang Ke threatened his father with this." If Daddy doesn't agree to this family business, then Tang Ke will falsely accuse Brother Ru of defrauding the king in front of the emperor!

If the emperor listens to Tang Ke's words and blames him, I am afraid that my whole family will not be able to save their lives. Daddy knows that you don't want to agree to this family business, so it's hard to talk about it, it's Daddy who is sorry for you!"

An Lerong suddenly heard this, and her heart was also up and down. I don't know what to do for a while. Then he asked, "What mistake did my brother make?"

An Lizheng knew that he couldn't bury his daughter in this matter, and if he didn't make it clear, his daughter would not agree to this family affair anyway. He told An Lerong about An Letai's disobedience to the general's order to fight against the Jin Army in Tai'an Prefecture and his rebellious words.

An Lerong said: "My brother is also a person who reads poetry and books, how can he be so confused when he does things?"

An Lizheng said: "This matter is not that Brother Ru is confused, what Brother Ru did was not wrong. It's that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty is dark, and the traitors are in charge. I don't know how many people who are dedicated to the country have been impeached and sent to the border to fill the army!

Rong'er, Daddy has no choice but to fill this matter, and only if you agree to this marriage, can you save your brother! If that old thief joins Brother Ru in front of the emperor, Brother Ru will definitely die!"

An Lerong grew up with her brother since she was a child, and the relationship between the brother and sister is extremely deep. When I thought that my brother was going to be slaughtered by the court, I was also worried in my heart. But if you want to agree to this family business and live with that Tang Gui for a lifetime, you are extremely reluctant in your heart, and you can't make a decision for a while. Then he said to his father: "I can't think about this matter for a while, and let me think about it!"

Anritsu heard her daughter say this, so she didn't say anything more. only said: "Wu'er must make a decision quickly, Tang Ke's old thief may have to force Wu'er to get married in the next few days!"

After her father and mother left, An Lerong lay on the bed and cried bitterly, feeling both conflicted and aggrieved, uncomfortable and painful. Thinking about it, there is nothing to do!

At this time, the maid Miaoju entered the room, and saw the young lady crying bitterly on the bed, so she asked, "Why is the young lady crying bitterly?

said that this maid Miaoju was bought by An Lizheng to serve An Lerong when she was eight years old, and she went through ten springs, summers, autumns and winters with An Lerong. Although the two are master and servant, they are like sisters. (To be continued......)
