Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 367 Huan Xi chooses a son-in-law
"What raccoon slave somersault?"

Xie Daoyun looked at Luo Niang in front of him and said doubtfully.

"It's this raccoon slave in my mother's arms. Grandpa said it can do somersaults."

Luo Niang pointed at the cat, full of expectation.

Since Xie Daoyun was Huan Xi's wife and Luo Niang's aunt, Luo Niang naturally called Xie Daoyun her mother.

When Xie Daoyun heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes secretly. She knew that this must be because Huan Xi felt that Luo Niang was causing trouble by staying in Yutang Hall, so he just found a reason to send her away.

"This raccoon slave is tired today. I'm afraid he won't be able to do any somersaults."

Xie Daoyun said helplessly.

He couldn't tell Luo Niang the truth.

Luo Niang was disappointed, but she didn't dare to mess around in front of Xie Daoyun. After all, in their family, Huan Xi usually played the role of a loving father, able to put down his posture and joke with his children, while Xie Daoyun was a strict mother, and the children were afraid of her.

"It's just that he and Luo Niang are six years apart. If my husband insists on getting married to Wang Lingjun, he might as well consider his second son Wang Pi. I see that he looks cute and is about the same age as Luo Niang, so he is a good candidate."

Xie Daoyun couldn't let her go. Huan Xi was doing something at this time. How could he let Luo Niang go back?

Li Yuan was greatly surprised. This was the first time she heard that Wang Pi was naughty. Of course, she met the Wang brothers when they followed Wang Meng to the Weiyang Palace for a banquet. Naturally, Wang Pi did not dare to make a mistake. .

This is also because Huan Xi is not at home all year round. If Xie Daoyun cannot discipline him strictly, wouldn't everyone be spoiled to death?

This is not the first time she has stayed in Jiaofang Hall. When Huan Xi was not at home, Li Yuan often moved here with Luo Niang.

She knew that Huan Xi mentioned this matter because he wanted to arrange the marriage in advance for Luo Niang, which was related to her daughter's lifelong event. After a slight hesitation, Li Yuan said:

Luo Niang was so simple-minded that she couldn't even think of going there. She only heard Xie Daoyun mention that the raccoon slave might come to show interest at night and perform a backflip, and immediately stayed happily.

Luo Niang was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Daoyun:
"Let's stay in Jiaofang Hall tonight, lest you miss it again when the raccoon slave gets interested."

Late at night, Huan Xi and Li Yuan hugged each other. While they were feeling tender, Huan Xi suddenly asked:
"Ayuan, what do you think of Wang Yong, the eldest son of your husband's family?"

Huan Xi heard this and hummed:
"I want to find a lover for Luo Niang who can be entrusted to me for the rest of my life, and I am not arranging a male favorite for her. Wang Pikong has a good skin, but in fact he is extremely naughty. If Luo Niang is married to him, wouldn't it be a waste of his own family? daughter."

However, since what Huan Xi said was true, Li Yuan must have believed it. In fact, whenever Wang Meng brought up family matters with Huan Xi, he was troubled by Wang Pi's disobedience.

During festivals, whenever Huan Xi held a grand banquet in Weiyang Palace, officials would bring their wives and children to the banquet. Naturally, Li Yuan had met Wang Meng's eldest son Wang Yong.

"I heard that this boy is eager to learn, has good character, and is a good son.

"In that case, my daughter will go back to Yutang Hall first, and we will come back tomorrow to watch Li Nu do somersaults."

In fact, Li Yuan has no decision-making power about Luo Niang's marriage.

The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, under the feudal etiquette system, the aunt is the mother, and the biological mother is just the aunt. Therefore, Huan Xi only needs to discuss with Xie Daoyun to make the decision.

Of course, Huan Xi was not a native of the ancients after all, so he still wanted to consult Li Yuan for his opinion. As for Li Yuan, after Huan Xi denied Wang Pi, there was no other way to think about it. As long as Luo Niang was not sent to Jiangdong to be the concubine of the young emperor, Li Yuan was already satisfied.

In order to better control Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Cao married his three daughters Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua to him.

Of course it is impossible for Huan Xi to have such an idea, not to mention that the young emperor has already decided on the candidate for the queen and will get married next year. Although Luo Niang is a concubine, she is also Huan Xi's biological daughter. How can she be taken seriously? The saying of being a concubine.

However, even if the Jin Dynasty was given a queen, Huan Xi would not give his daughter away. His favorite candidate was Wang Xiu.

As for the six-year age difference, it is not a big problem. As long as Wang Meng is informed, he will definitely not arrange Wang Xiu's marriage prematurely.

When Luo Niang was sixteen, Wang Xiu was only twenty-two. This was not the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when the powerful would often marry children as young as eleven or twelve to form an alliance of interests.

After discussing Luo Niang's marriage in advance, Huan Xi and Li Yuan fell asleep.

The next day, he woke up very early. Although Huan Xi could not be as diligent as Yong Zheng and work himself to death, he was by no means a lazy person who indulged in pleasure and ignored state affairs.

The reason why he takes a break every time he takes a class is, firstly, to relax himself, and secondly, to spend time with his family. Huan Xi has always been a person who values ​​his family very much.

Now, the days of vacation have long passed, and he had already devoted himself to military affairs more than half a month ago.

When they arrived at the Chancellor's Desk, Aman was already sitting next to Wang Meng. He got up earlier than his father.

Wang Meng had a little more white hair on his temples. He and Aman stood up and saluted Huan Xi first. Huan Xi waved his hand and said:

"No need to be polite."

With that said, Huan Xi found a seat and sat down at random, and asked:
"Sir, I wonder how the disaster relief work in Hedong County is progressing?"

When Wang Meng heard the word "disaster relief", he couldn't help but look sad. He took a deep breath and replied:
"Reporting to Liang Gong, since Liang Gong's shift, 300,000 shi of grain have been shipped to Hedong County.

"It's just that if Mr. Liang wants to use work as relief and recruit victims to continue building walls around the salt pond, he has to keep the people full. I have calculated that 300,000 shi of food will not be enough."

Huan Xi frowned when he heard this. Although he had captured Hedong County, he did not give up the idea of ​​occupying the salt pond.

It is not that he is worried that private salt dealers will steal his salt, but because the salt pond is located on the front line of the war between Liang, Yan and Yu, Hedong County will definitely fall into repeated battles.

Build a high wall around the salt pond and station soldiers there to ensure that even if a war breaks out, production within the high wall will not be affected.

But the problem is that Huan Xi not only wants to provide disaster relief, but also prepares to launch a new round of offensive next year. Wang Meng is really a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

Huan Xi understood his difficulty and muttered:

"At this point, we can only grit our teeth and persevere. We must not give up halfway."

That's what he said, but Huan Xi did not act as a hands-off shopkeeper this time. He found a solution for Wang Meng:
"If it doesn't work out, I'll borrow some money and food from Xiangyang."

After saying that, Huan Xi looked at Aman and said jokingly:
"If my father refuses, I will starve Aman for a period of time, and then go to Xiangyang to cry to your grandmother, saying that my father cannot bear the hunger of the victims, and suffers from lack of money and food, so he has to share the joys and sorrows with them, which will make it difficult for you brothers to have enough to eat every day." ”
