Volume 5 The height of the temple, the distance of the rivers and lakes Chapter 5 Opinions
Dongliutiao, Weifu. *Very literary*(It only takes 3 seconds to do it
Since my sister returned to the house, the master finally had a smile on his face, and his wife no longer sighed and shed tears. The servants of the Wei Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the lifeless atmosphere that had filled the house before. . But within a few days, there was a lot of excitement in the house again. The sister who came back from a trip south seemed to have a tougher temper. Although there were occasional disputes between father and mother in the past, there was always room for relaxation.
This time is different from the past. Due to the issue of my sister's marriage, the two people have different opinions. There have been several cold wars and hot wars. The tempers of the old and young masters have obviously become more and more irritable as time goes by. This time it is very painful for these slaves and slaves. Helped. For several days, no one dared to talk or laugh, and worked cautiously as if walking on thin ice, for fear of making mistakes and causing trouble.
In the end, Madam was still in the middle making peace with Xi Ni, persuading one on the left and caressing the other on the right, finally stabilizing the situation for the time being. Although the master and sister still hold their own opinions, through the adjustment of the wife, they have taken a step back, at least on the surface. Naturally, it is not possible to withdraw from the relationship now. As a master, Wei Shilang is not very keen on climbing high places, but he is also very concerned about his son's life. It is difficult to find a family like the Lin family without using a lantern, or at least it is not easy to find a suitable family. But the young man who rejected Er couldn't do it now. Yao's rare tough attitude made Wei Shilang's opposition gradually loosen. Maybe this man named Qiao is also the same person. If Er is so persistent, this person must have some merits. Where, maybe you might as well
Based on this idea, Wei Shilang relaxed his tone, and his father finally reached a preliminary agreement. What Wei Shilang meant was not only to break the line between the Lin family, but also to follow Yao's ideas and find out what kind of person this person named Qiao was. If it's not suitable, then Yao's idea will be completely eliminated. If this person is of good quality, then we will see what happens when the time comes
After making up his mind, Wei Shilang waved his sleeves and ordered to the chief ministers and guards in the mansion: "Go, follow my sister's instructions, and first search one by one in the nine cities of the capital. Are there any wealthy or scholarly families with the surname Qiao?" "Please, focus on the visit. Uh" Wei Shilang hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't reveal anything during the visit. Don't let anyone know that it is my Wei family who is conducting the visit secretly. I don't need to know the details. You must know it too." !¡±
?? Everyone immediately followed the order and left. For the sake of their sister's reputation and happiness, and for their own future in the Wei Mansion, they naturally carried out the master's orders meticulously.
Although Yao doesn¡¯t know what her father¡¯s intention is, seeing some relaxation and concession is already a great success. At least, it has become possible to meet her brother Qiao. Therefore, a heart is half excited, half happy, and at the same time a little worried. If you are less pregnant with spring, you will always be sad and dreamy. These days, Master Qing and his servant Qing kept looking outside the second door, and most of their conversations centered on Qiao Shanhu. It's just that things didn't seem to be going smoothly. While the two were disappointed, their previous excitement and longing gradually disappeared, replaced by growing sadness.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Things have come to some light, and everyone in the house is very happy except for the Minister of Health. However, when the specific information was gathered together, it was discovered that only one of the three households had a young man of the right age, but he had no knowledge of poetry and was just working as a shopkeeper in a shop in the city. I was happy for nothing, but things reached a deadlock again. The manpower sent by the Wei Mansion never found the young man named Qiao described by Wei Shilang in the capital. Wei Shilang was secretly happy but also a little puzzled. According to Er's description, this young man surnamed Qiao is gentle, well-educated, courteous, brave and wise In short, he is like a man worthy of heaven, and he must come from a wealthy family, and is most likely the younger brother of an official! Wei Shilang did not doubt Er's words, because Er had always had a very discerning eye since he was a child, and he had never respected a person so highly. Even now, in order to make himself comply with her wishes, there might be some suspicion of fabrication and flattery in his words. But it can also reflect the outstanding features of this young man. However, there are very few people with the surname Qiao in this capital. There are almost only a handful of dignitaries with the surname Qiao. Now we have visited them all, and even the rich gentry surnamed Qiao, who were somewhat looked down upon by the Minister of Wei before, have been lowered. Standard went to investigate and still couldn¡¯t find the person!
Wei Shilang wondered and scratched his head, and the idea that had been put down before took the initiative. Since the matter is so troublesome, it is probably the fate of the child. It is better to give up her idea and communicate with the Lin family. If it succeeds, both parties will be happy.
Wei Cheng and his wife discussed it, and both of them thought this was a good idea. Just when Wei Cheng sent his wife to go to the back house to persuade Yao again, two people came to the front yard.people. A pretty maid from the mansion was introduced first, followed by Aunt Tao who had been entrusted earlier to propose marriage to the Lin family
Wei Cheng and his wife hurriedly welcomed her out, and after a few words of greeting, they sent Aunt Tao to a side hall to talk in detail. Unexpectedly, Aunt Tao's words made Wei Cheng feel angry: The Lin family's line was disconnected.
Mrs. Tao is an old lady, and she cannot turn around and send messages from the front line. Naturally, these words must be tactful, but who Wei Cheng is can be understood after a few words. Madam was still there to ask questions carefully, but Wei Cheng could no longer hold himself back. After dismissing Aunt Tao with words, the couple sat in the side hall, feeling a little angry for a while.
"Didn't they all have their horoscopes checked? Aunt Fang did. She had her horoscopes checked by the fortune teller, and the two people's horoscopes were very consistent. Whythe Lin family still does this" Madam frowned and couldn't understand, " Do you think the Wei family is too high for me? No way! Even though the Lin family has some noble relatives, their bodies are just the same as ours"
"Okay!" Wei Cheng was a little annoyed. "Why are you doing this at this time? There is always a reason for people to do what they do. The Lin family's family is not low, so is my Wei family not so good? It's just a matter of sending someone to deliver a message. To actually act like this, It¡¯s really it¡¯s intolerable, but what can¡¯t be tolerated!¡±
Seeing this, the Madam quickly comforted her: "Okay, it's just that the negotiation didn't work out. Thinking about it, the Lin family's reputation in the past was not bad. The old lady in their family is a sensible person, so it shouldn't be that complicated. It's really not that complicated. If you get up, our two families have not made an order or given a gift, and it doesn't matter if one family withdraws from the other's marriage. We, if we are concerned, we will be in chaos." After the following words, Madam glanced at Wei Cheng, Have you collected it?
She knew clearly in her heart that the reason why the master was so arrogant was because he felt that he had been humiliated and disparaged by the Lin family. If this matter spread in the future, she would be afraid that she would become the laughingstock of the scholars and lose face among her colleagues. But I know that I can't say this. The lady herself was angry, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she realized that the matter was not as serious as she thought.
Wei Cheng snorted coldly when he heard this: "Such a lack of appreciation is really blind to gold and jade! I am a son of the Wei family, and the Lin family may not be as good as him!" He picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea. , Wei Cheng said again: "Forget it! Without the Lin family, our son can still marry! With the son we have trained, are we afraid that no one will like him? This time, we have to find a better family for our son. The Lin family wants to have a glorious family name and marry off their son in a glamorous manner, so he is ashamed of the Lin family's face!"
"Master" Madam gave Wei Cheng a helpless look and said softly: "We still have ancestors, people are real. Master, isn't it Chang? Marrying does not mean marrying into a family. When I was with the master, the master also There is no such position as today Besides, what I discussed with Yao a few days ago is now gone. But there is no news about that young man. If there is any change, we should discuss it with you again. yes."
"Humph!" After hearing this, Wei Cheng was still angry, but after thinking about it, he realized that Madam's advice was right. He immediately ordered: "Come here! Call my sister, I have something to say!"
¡¡
"That's it. Are you satisfied now?"
Wei Cheng reluctantly revealed the fact that his marriage to the Lin family had failed, and then couldn't help but complain.
Yao was secretly happy when she heard this, but she suppressed the joy on her face. Unexpectedly, she heard Wei Cheng say: "But after this incident, you can no longer make the decision on this matter of marriage! I came to you today just to tell you that you are My son, Wei Cheng, naturally my parents make the final decision on marriage matters, and you have no room for comment. But don¡¯t worry, your mother and I are the only one left now, and we will definitely choose a family for you, and we will never feel wronged. That¡¯s it for you!¡±
Yao, who had been secretly happy just now, suddenly heard the news, and was shocked, angry and aggrieved. She was smart enough to figure out the whole story after thinking about it, and tears suddenly came out of her eyes. Seeing that his stubborn temper was coming back, Madam Han quickly smoothed things over: "The Lin family is done with it, but there's no need to be so angry! It wasn't like that before, and the queen named Qiao doesn't need to be done with it. Let¡¯s look for this road! If it¡¯s a young handsome man, wouldn¡¯t everyone be happy?¡±
"no!"
"Okay!" Seeing Wei Cheng's dark face, Mrs. Han, who had always begged softly, suddenly changed her expression: "Isn't it just such a small thing? How can we be so entangled! This matter is settled! I have the final say! After three more days of searching, if there is no whereabouts of the young man, your life-long events will be decided by me, the mother!" After that, he turned towards Yao: "Son, is this okay?" Jue Yao, who met everywhere, nodded with tears in his eyes.
When Wei Cheng saw that his wife was getting tough, he saw his son nodded, so he just gave up and asked in a soft voice: "That's it, I will not deceive you as a father. Within three days, I will do my best to investigate this person. Now what are you going to do?" will"Please give the person's name in detail without any concealment, otherwise, you will be the one to regret it"
Yao was overjoyed and hurriedly told the story of how she got to know "Qiao Shanhu". Only some sweet or horrifying details were omitted, such as the part where he walked down a shady alley with a hand carrying a human head. The rest, especially Qiao Shanhu's name and past locations, were clearly explained.
"Oh, so this man's name is Qiao Shanhu, but why is he a martial artist? You know, he once gave you the title of Feiling Guard? Then why was he a famous scholar before?" Wei Cheng was suddenly stunned. The inconsistency in Yao's words made her a little confused, but when she heard that Feilingwei was involved, she still had some resistance in her heart.
"Qiao Shanhu Qiao Shanhu" Wei Cheng repeated the name repeatedly. For some reason, he subconsciously felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. "Ah¡ª¡ª" Wei Cheng suddenly exclaimed, and his outstretched right hand froze in mid-air. "Qiao Shanhu! It turns out to be him!"
"What?" Mrs. Han stood up quickly and walked towards Wei Cheng: "Does this person know me?"
Wei Cheng came back to his senses and replied: "No, I have never met my husband. But I have heard of this name in recent days." Wei Chengdao glared at his son and said, "I just visited him a few days ago. I was looking for some books, but I never thought of this problem, and I just didn't react for a while.
Qiao Shanhu Hehe, Qiao Shanhu" Wei Cheng muttered a few words, his expression suddenly became a little excited, and he said to his son and his wife: "Sure enough, I have some eyesight. I don't know how this Qiao Shanhu's family background is now. , I don¡¯t know if he has any fame in the examination room, but he is a real person. It is said that during the quelling of the rebellion in the south, more than fifty men defeated the Huai King's thousands of soldiers, and he was the one who made extraordinary achievements. Even if there is some exaggeration in it, it should be based on some facts. At the moment, this person doesn¡¯t seem to have received a reward for some reason, but from my perspective, at least this person has some future"
"Huh?" After hearing Wei Cheng's words, Han and Yao were both surprised and happy. But while Han was happy, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But if I find a war general, if he goes to the battlefield in the future, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to be frightened and guard the empty boudoir alone"
"What are you talking about!" Wei Cheng waved his hand: "Let's not go too far. Let me check this person's details first, and then make the next plan!" Humph! Wei Cheng secretly swore in his heart that if this Qiaoshan Hu man was really good and came from the right Yemeni family, even if he couldn't compete with the Lin family, he would be determined to be his son-in-law! In the future, if you assist this son-in-law and reach a high position, you will definitely make the Lin family regret it for a lifetime! Seeing myself, I can¡¯t even lift my head!
After a quick chat, Wei Cheng turned around, put on his clothes and left the house.
"This time, with a real name, and the other party is an official, and registered in the court, naturally there is no need for people to cover their heads and visit randomly. Wei Cheng thought for a while. This person was a subordinate of Feiling Guard. The natural way to find it was to go to the Commander's Department of Feiling Guard, find Du Ning and look at the roster. He might even be able to find out more about it without even using the roster. . However, Feilingwei's yamen door is somewhat mysterious and dangerous in the eyes of most people, and Wei Cheng's impression is no exception. As a top spy in the imperial court, Du Ning naturally didn't have much to deal with. What made Wei Chengfu murmur was that the rumored relationship between Du Ning and the Lin family seemed to be much closer. The Lin family had just settled the matter, so he went to Du Ning to check on the person. If they let the air out, wouldn't he just come to the door and make people laugh
After thinking for a long time, Wei Cheng dusted his sleeves and got on the carriage instead of going to Feiling Guard. After turning a few turns, he walked towards the main street of the Ministry of War.
