Wang Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, and his heart became sensitive. He glanced at Li Quan with his fish-like eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Dr. Li, forgive me for not understanding, what is my sister's life event?"
"Yes! You are familiar with my brother A-Zhen, right? He and Qingyu have always had a good relationship. I can see that Qingyu likes him very much. If they can"
"Wait a minute!"
Wang Yuanbao stopped Li Quan sternly, "Mr. Li, if I remember correctly, your brother should have gotten married a few months ago! He married Di Xiangguo's daughter, right?"
Li Quan¡¯s face was a little hot. It was really difficult for her to speak. If the Wang family was from a poor family, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem at all. The key is that the Wang family is very powerful and the richest man in Chang¡¯an. This proposal is really difficult to speak. ¡ñ¡Ð
"That's right, my brother wants to marry your sister as his second wife"
Sure enough, before Li Quan finished speaking, Wang Yuanbao suddenly became furious and said viciously: "No matter how miserable our Wang family is, we will never become concubines. Are you humiliating our Wang family?"
Li Quan¡¯s face turned red and he quickly explained: ¡°Actually, they are all the same, but their status is slightly lower. I promise¡ª¡±
"What can you guarantee?"
Wang Yuanbao stood up and walked away. When he reached the steps, he turned back and said, "You can marry my sister if you want. Go and divorce the daughter of the Di family. The matchmaker is marrying her, otherwise there is no need to talk!"
After saying that, Wang Yuanbao stormed away and Li Quan was left cold in the living room. After a while, she sighed and went back listlessly.
Not long after Li Quan left, Wang Qingyu accompanied her sister-in-law back from burning incense. She originally wanted to see Di Yan today, but she was held back by her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to wait until tomorrow.
But as soon as she entered the house, she heard the concierge say that Li Quan had been here in the morning, and he was here to visit his eldest brother. She was a little surprised. What was Li Quan doing here to visit his eldest brother? Do you want to buy wine from Big Brother again? No way! The Wang family has a monopoly on wine in Luoyang, but they cannot arrange it well in Chang'an. The supply of wine in Chang'an is monopolized by the Zhao family of Guanlong nobles.
Wang Qingyu was puzzled. She returned to her room and prepared to wash her face. She went out with her sister-in-law, and her forehead was slightly sweaty. As soon as she sat down, her personal maid A-Qing came forward mysteriously and said : "Girl, Boss Li came to propose today."
"What!"
Wang Qingyu jumped up in shock and asked urgently: "What What is the proposal? Please explain it clearly."
"Of course Dongzhu Li came to propose to the girl because of her brother, General Li. I heard from Xiaoman in the living room that the master and Dongzhu Li finally had a quarrel."
Wang Qingyu's heart was pounding nervously. She whispered to the maid: "Go and find Xiaoman quickly. I want to ask her. Go quickly!"
The maid ran away in a hurry. Wang Qingyu was in a mess and paced back and forth in the room. Wang Qingyu was very infatuated with Li Zhen. Ever since Li Zhen saved her life at Songshan Taoist Temple, her deep love had Concerned about Li Zhen.
"It's a pity that Li Zhen was running around, always with Di Yan, and she had no chance, so she turned her goal to Li Quan, helping her and pleasing her, hoping that Li Quan could help her achieve her wish.
"It's a pity that Li Zhen married Di Yan in the end, which made her heartbroken. She returned to Chang'an that day, determined to stay alone for the rest of her life and never marry again.
However, when she learned from Li Quan that Li Zhen was appointed as the deputy retainer of Xijing and would serve in Chang'an in the future, her already dead letter sprouted a new sprout. In the end, she did not give up, thinking that she could settle for the next best thing. , she still has the opportunity to marry Li Zhen as an equal wife. As long as she gets along well with Di Yan and she has strong financial support, she will not be without status.
Wang Qingyu began to actively interact with Di Yan again. The two had a very good relationship and could be said to be like sisters. Moreover, Di Yan would occasionally express his willingness to accept her, which gave Wang Qingyu hope. Unexpectedly, She happened to be away today, so Sister Quan came to ask for her hand in marriage, and actually got into a quarrel with her brother. She had a vague feeling in her heart.
At this time, the maid came quickly with Xiaoman, the tea maid in the living room. Wang Qingyu took her wrist and asked: "Tell me, what happened today?"
Xiaoman was standing behind the screen ready to serve tea at any time, so she heard the quarrel between the master and Dongzhu Li. She was nervous, so she stammered and recited the conversation between the two, and finally said: "The master has a very fierce attitude." , there was no room at all. Dongzhu Li sat for a long time before slowly leaving. I heard her sigh. "
Wang Qingyu suddenly flushed with anger, stamped her feet, and walked quickly to the inner hall. When she walked into the inner hall, she saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law sitting opposite each other drinking tea. Wang Qingyu restrained her anger and asked: "Sister Quan today Come here, brother, why are you so rude?"
Wang Yuanbao knew that his sister would come to stir up trouble, so he said coldlyHe said: "I am not rude to her. She is General Li's eldest sister. Do I dare to be rude to her?"
"You said you were not rude to her, but you finally kicked her out of the house. Is this the way the Wang family treats guests?"
Wang Yuanbao was furious: "What are you talking about? How can there be an effect without a cause? It was she who humiliated the Wang family first, how can my sister, Wang Zhuguo, be married as a concubine!"
"Hmph! That's nice to say. Aren't you the one who made the decision to marry me to that consumptive man as a concubine? The eldest grandson's family said they were not allowed to break off the engagement, but you don't even dare to say anything. I'm even worse than a widower. It¡¯s my concubine, and my whole life is ruined, don¡¯t you know?¡±
Speaking of this, Wang Qingyu's tears welled up. At first, she thought she was marrying Changsun Yan's third son, but later she found out that she was a man with tuberculosis and that he had a wife at home. He was just marrying her to celebrate her happiness. In order to please the Changsun family, the eldest brother agreed behind his back. As a result, the tuberculosis ghost died of illness before she could get married, leaving him with the identity of a widow in vain.
She forgave him for her brother's sake, but she didn't expect that when her happiness was about to come, he would start to obstruct her again and destroy her again.
Wang Yuanbao¡¯s wife next to her couldn¡¯t stand it, and said dissatisfiedly: ¡°Qingyu, how can you speak like this to my eldest brother?¡±
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, but I know very well what brother has in mind. He wants to give me to the son of the Prime Minister again. Brother, I am not wrong!"
Wang Qingyu's words touched Wang Yuanbao's mind. In fact, he was not angry because Li Zhen wanted to marry Wang Qingyu as his concubine. He had other intentions. Just a few months ago, Li Chengqi saw his sister and immediately Feeling a little lost, he saw it in his eyes and wanted to give his sister to Li Chengqi as a concubine.
He thought very well. If Li Dan, the prime minister, ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then his eldest son Li Chengqi will become the prince and will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. His sister will become the imperial concubine. Of course, their family is related to the emperor, so he has been Thinking about this.
He seems to have become a royal relative in his dreams. It is for this reason that he has become very arrogant in his dealings with people and things, and has overdrawn his title of royal relative in advance.
Unexpectedly, Li Quanju came to propose marriage, which made him furious.
Wang Yuanbao's face was a little confused, and he said with a dark face: "I am doing it for your own good. Li Zhen is just a general, and Prince Shouchun is the eldest son of the Prime Minister. It is far better for you to marry him than to marry him." Li Zhen, don¡¯t be stupid.¡±
"You are doing it for me? You are doing it for yourself!"
Wang Qingyu covered her face in pain and cried, turned around and ran away. Watching her figure running away, Wang Yuanbao's wife said worriedly: "Master, why don't I go and talk to her again! Persuade her to change her mind."
Wang Yuanbao waved his hand and said tyrannically: "There is nothing to say about this matter. It doesn't matter whether she is happy or not. I must make the decision on her marriage!"
At night, Wang Yuanbao was writing a letter to Li Chengqi in his study, thinking about how to use humble words and how to express his excitement about giving his sister to him. At this moment, his wife hurried over and said: "Master, Qingyu ran away from home." ¡±
"What?"
Wang Yuanbao was stunned. He asked urgently: "When did it happen?"
"Almost an hour later, she packed up her belongings and left with her personal maid. The concierge didn't know where she went?"
"asshole!"
Wang Yuanbao was so angry that his nose was crooked. He picked up the inkstone and threw it to the ground. He roared at the top of his lungs: "Find her for me. Everyone is searching for her. We must find her!"
There was chaos in the palace, and all the servants were summoned. Wang Yuanbao held a wooden stick in his hand and shouted: "Split up and look for her immediately. You must find her. If you can't find her, don't come back."
The servants agreed and went out separately. They searched in every inn in Chang'an in groups of three and five. They made Chang'an city miserable. Wang Yuanbao was upset. From childhood to adulthood, his sister was still the number one. This time he disobeyed his own order, but this time it happened to be so important.
In fact, Wang Yuanbao suspected that his sister was hiding in Li Quan's house, or even in Li Zhen's house, but he did not dare to search because he would have to be killed by soldiers.
At this time, his wife once again advised him: "Master, please find everyone! This won't work. Tomorrow the whole of Chang'an will know about it, and we can't afford to be embarrassed!"
Wang Yuanbao was right when he thought about it. He was too impulsive, and it was impossible for his sister to go to any inn. He had no choice but to say to the housekeeper: "Go and call everyone back. Stop looking for her."
The housekeeper was waiting for his words, and he immediately ran away.
Wang Yuanbao paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his hands, and finallyHe was heartbroken and ordered: "Bring me a horse! I'll go to Xuanyangfang."
Apart from a direct showdown with Li Zhen, he really couldn't think of any other way. He would rather offend Li Zhen than let his dream of becoming an imperial relative come to an end.
Not long after, a servant brought a horse. Wang Yuanbao got on the horse and ran towards Xuanyangfang with a few followers.
It was also a coincidence that Wang Yuanbao happened to meet Li Zhen who was patrolling when he arrived near Dongshi before arriving at Xuanyangfang.
The power to patrol Chang'an belongs to Li Zhen. It was not yet Haishi, and there was still a little time before the gate was closed. Li Zhen was patrolling the streets as usual, and happened to meet Wang Yuanbao.
"Isn't this Mr. Wang?"
Li Zhen rushed forward and asked with a smile: "I heard that your servants are looking for someone everywhere. What happened?"
¡°You¡¯re asking even though you know it!¡±
Wang Yuanbao stared at Li Zhen and gritted his teeth and said: "There is no escape from the word 'reason' in the world. Even if you are a prince and a general, you cannot forcefully marry a civilian girl!"
Li Zhen felt slightly unhappy. What did this man say? He restrained his dissatisfaction and asked, "Proprietor Wang, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Hmph! Then I will make it clear that I will never marry my sister to you, so stop dreaming!"
"Are you talking softly?"
Li Zhen came to his senses, "Are you looking for Qingyu?"
"Of course! She ran away from home, Li Zhen, just give her back to me, otherwise I will go to King Xiang to sue you. My sister is going to marry Prince Shouchun, so don't have any wishful thinking. ¡±
Li Zhen completely understood that there must have been a conflict between Wang Qingyu and Wang Yuanbao before he ran away from home. Li Zhen also became angry and said coldly: "Wang Yuanbao, I think you are anxious to find your relatives, so I don't need to hold you accountable for the crime." If you dare to talk nonsense again, let me punish you!"
At this moment, the big drum that closed the square door rang loudly. Wang Yuanbao was helpless. If he didn't leave, Li Zhen would find himself guilty of violating the curfew. He had no choice but to give Li Zhen a hard look, turn his horse's head and leave.
¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡±
Li Zhen watched Wang Yuanbao go away. He thought for a moment, turned his horse and ran towards Xuanyangfang. He was really worried about Wang Qingyu.
