Chapter 55 Seeking a Wife
Two flowers bloom, each with one branch, not to mention Xue Zhen's help from Ji Bochuan, and how he will plan. In today's Qiongjiang City, because the emperor still needs to be cultivated, they are all eight princes to supervise the country and govern.
In detail, the Eighth Prince is actually similar to the emperor. He was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. Since he has never fought in battle to kill a country in person, he will not cherish everything now. They all think that they deserve all the honor and luxury, which is not enough, and they have no idea of self-reflection at all.
When the emperor was in charge of the government, Dayun was still prosperous. First, it was because the foundation of the previous emperor was well laid. At the time of his death, the treasury was rich and everything was regulated. He only needed the emperor to learn to do it. Don't build a lot and be good at knife soldiers. Even if he can't rise, it can at least keep him peace for a lifetime. Secondly, it is the "guard army" who is brave, surrounded by other countries. Only Beijin dares to invade, but she fled before she saw the flag of the word "Wei". The border is stable, the people can live in peace, naturally can work happily, and the prosperity of internal affairs is also expected. Third, although the Empress Dowager pushed her son to the throne because of her selfishness, she is not an ignorant woman. Because of her heart, she is Yun is ashamed of the former emperor. When he is alive, he often urges the emperor to be a wise king who is diligent and loves the people. Although the emperor was often disciplined after her old illness, at least in the first ten or twenty years of her accession to the throne, he did not dare to make trouble in major events.
The Eight Princes are different. When he supervised the country, the treasury was basically empty, and he was not in a hurry. From time to time, he also moved some rare treasures paid tribute from small countries around him back to his palace. It can be said that what he planned on the throne was the idle prince's government, and he didn't think that it was his task. Wei Ye had been sent down by him in front of the emperor. Slander, although Wei Jia is good, after all, she is a woman, and the "Wei family army" is still brave, but it is no longer a piece of iron wall; his biological mother, Li Guifei, is even more vicious and vicious, but her vision is far inferior to her. These three add up to the Eighth Prince, a stupid and wise embroidered pillow. If it were others, there may not be any elegance every day.
Fortunately, not all the people around him are as stupid as him, and one of them is far away.
Xiang Yuan now changed his gun and cannon. He not only became a right-hand man in front of the Eighth Prince, but also took his longing nun Qingzhao home with half redemption and half-robbed by the power of the Eight Prince.
The Qingzhao also had several benefactors, but the Eighth Prince saw that he was the future emperor. Who dared to pull out the beard from the tiger's mouth?
In fact, Qingzhao looks down on Xiangyuan in her heart. Usually, it's just a scene. If she really lives, she has met many dignitaries and romantic princes, and she has never thought that she will discount to follow Xiangyuan.
It makes sense for her to think so. In terms of family background, Xiang Yuan is the son of an offender, and his family is not extremely poor, and he is just an ordinary family. In terms of talent, Xiang Yuan only reads a few books to read a few words, and there is no chance to take the exam. In terms of appearance, Xiang Yuan is not as handsome, not to mention Xue Zhenqiong, the ninth prince of Zhenqiongjiang, Even Commander Huo, who has always been dressed in black, is more beautiful than him; in terms of character and distant character, it is really a hemp rope to lift tofu. Let go of the character. It's just a child!
Thinking about this, Qing Zhao delayed Xiang Yuan for a long time, but there was no chivalrous benefactor to save her from the fire pit, and the abbot also persuaded her painstakingly under repeated pressure from the Eighth Prince.
"My girl, what are you still doing? Uncle Xiang is bound to get it for you. Although he bullies others, he is also infatuated with you. The one in his family is cowardly. You follow him and raise a brother in two or three years. Don't worry about not having a good life in the future, and it seems to be here?
"But I heard that his wife is the sister of the ninth princess. Where can I go?"
The abbot smiled, "Oh, my silly girl, it turns out that you are afraid of this." She was wearing a solemn monk's uniform, but there was a look of a woman on her face, "The ninth princess is eating ashes on the edge now. How can she take care of her!"
Qingzhao was relieved at this time, and she also knew the current affairs. The next time she came from far away, she half-heartedly agreed.
Xiang Yuan finally asked for a beautiful woman, and he was in a very good mood all day long. On this day, when he saw the Eighth Prince's sad face, he came up to flatter him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you recently? But those tricksters are not well served? Will the little one find a better one for you?"
The eighth prince gave him a disdainful look, "Is I such a promiscuous person?"
Xiang Yuan smiled, "Naturally, I know that the prince is noble, but I'm just teasing you. Looking at you with a little heartache, it's true.
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he did not feel numbness. Instead, he said to Xiangyuan, "Do you think Renqiu's prescription is not effective?"
Xiang Yuan was stunned, "Didn't Dr. Ren be called the 'national hand' by the emperor a few days ago?" He suddenly came to his senses and looked at the Eighth Prince, where a trace of fierceness flashed on his handsome face.
Xiang Yuan's heart seems to be clear, and the Eighth Prince can't help it!
As a competent dog leg, Xiang Yuan can't say, "Since you can't help it, let's kill your father!" He can only detour and consider the interests of the Eight Prince to the maximum, and then give advice.
So he pretended to meditate for a while, and then looked around to make sure that there was no one. Then he lay down in the ear of the eighth prince and said, "The little talent is shallow, but he also knows about the ancient saints Yao and Yu. Now the emperor's dragon body needs to be maintained urgently. If he becomes the 'Taishang Emperor' safely, he can live in the palace with his noble concubine. And the prince has been deeply grateful to the emperor, and his filial piety is reasonable. He should take on the affairs of the country so that he can become an example in the world!"
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he almost led him to be a confidant. As soon as he was happy, he rewarded Xiangyuan with a white jade paperweight with a lion rolling hydrangea on the case, "You know the truth very well!"
He flattered himself just right, and happily received the reward and retreated to his home.
Xiang Yuan returned home. Before he could sit down, he heard the little boy report that Wei Wei was coming. He was so upset that he quickly hid Baiyu's paperweight before he came out to welcome him.
When Wei Wei saw him coming, he crossed his waist and smiled, "Cousin, how's the thing you said last time?"
Xiang Yuan also smiled and said, "I tried my best, but Lord Xu thinks that you don't have a reputation and don't deserve his daughter."
Wei's face suddenly turned red and white, "Bah! That old man is willing to marry his daughter! If not, if not..."
Xiang Yuan listened with a smile and said to himself, at this time, unlike in the past, if you are still the eldest son of Duke An, you will naturally look down on his daughter, but you are just a commoner now, and you still rely on me to live in that house. What other capital is there to pick and choose?
He felt better when he saw Wei Wei eat and be looked down on him.
Wei scolded once, but it didn't make any good. Now he has no easy title. The money saved by Yao has also been almost squandered by him. He urgently needs to marry a daughter-in-law to enter the door to calculate other people's dowry.
Shen Yiluo's whereabouts are unknown now, so he naturally doesn't need to think about it. Although he will be crushed by Xiangyuan no matter what, he can't tolerate any more arrogant at this time. Wei Jie figured out this section and smiled and said to Xiang Yuan, "My brother's affairs are all on my brother. Please look for a good marriage for me."
Xiang Yuan sat down, picked up the tea bowl and blew gently, "Brother, which girl do you like? As long as you ask your aunt to go to the matchmaker for marriage, won't it be over?"
Wei Ji blushed and almost scolded "your fart is very good". Since his "righteous destruction", today's Qiongjiang has a face-looking family, who will marry his daughter to him?
Before, Lord Xu was also a new official in Beijing. Wei Wei looked at others and didn't know his details, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
Xiang Yuan secretly appreciated Wei's embarrassment and felt that he could not do too much at a time. It was interesting to hang his appetite from time to time. So he raised his head and pretended to be generous and selfless, "Actually, it's not impossible for me to choose a daughter-in-law for you."
When Wei Wei heard that there was a door, he didn't care about being angry and answered repeatedly.
Xiang Yuan took another sip of tea and said leisurely, "It's just that that girl is a businessman. I'm afraid, brother, you come from a high school and look down on her!"
Wei didn't know that he was satirizing him, but now that the tiger has fallen to Pingyang, he has to put up with it.
Xiang Yuan smiled secretly, but said, "The girl's other benefits are also limited, but the dowry is not expensive."
This sentence really came to Wei Ji's heart. He was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's good, that's good!"
Xiang Yuan fooled him again, sent him out, and laughed all the way to find his aunt.
Aunt Xiang was chanting Buddha in the room. Seeing Xiang Yuan so happy, she also asked with a smile, "My son, are you so happy that you ate bee shit?"
Xiang Yuan couldn't stop laughing. After a long time, he intermittently told Wei Wei's request to help him find his wife.
I was happy to hear it from my aunt, "Your aunt's good life is coming to an end!"
Why did you say that to your aunt? The trace back to the "businessman's daughter" mentioned by Xiang Yuan.
It turned out that a family surnamed Miao in Qiongjiang moved from the south more than a decade ago. Because there is an ancestral craft of flowers, the family is good at taking the opportunity to drill into the camp. They got on a prince of the previous emperor's dynasty, which is dedicated to the flowers in the imperial city and Qiongjiang nobles' mansions. For a while, the money is rolling and the limelight is in the limelight.
Unfortunately, the prince was later convicted and assigned to Qiyi, and his family was also affected and lost his job.
The family has a son and a daughter, and his son Miao heard that he was about to regain his beauty. A while ago, he worked hard to get on the Eighth Prince. Xiang Yuan, the Eighth Prince, is also very popular now. Miao Wen wanted to make his sister his concubine to consolidate the relationship.
As for why he didn't directly dedicate his sister to the Eighth Prince, the answer is very simple. This Miao girl is really sorry. How can the Eighth Prince like it?
Xiang Yuan secretly inquired and learned that the Miao girl was not only ugly, but also fierce. She was really useless except for her family's wealth. He is not short of money now. He has a beautiful wife and concubine at home. How can he marry her? However, he refused directly, and Xiang Yuan felt that he had lost again. It happened that Wei Wei came to beg for his wife. He pushed the boat along the water and thought that he would make a fortune from Miao Wen. He was really happy to think about it!
