Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 152 The husband and wife meet again

When Shen Haoxuan came down to the gate led by the housekeeper, he saw two young men dressed in common clothes standing outside the Shen residence.When the two men faced the guards in front of the gate of Shen's residence, they lowered the straw hats on their heads so that people could not see their faces clearly.

Shen Haoxuan stepped forward with some hesitation, and arched his hands together, "Are you two distinguished guests from the west side of Nantan?" The west side of Nantan, Xiliang.

A distinguished guest from Xiliang?
Hearing his questioning voice, Lu Huai raised the brim of the straw hat with his hands lightly, and the hat was lifted slightly, revealing his wickedly handsome and resolute face.

The expression on Shen Haoxuan's face tensed suddenly. Although the person who came was wearing a very ordinary cloth, his eyes were sharp and menacing, and the murderous aura emanating from his body also made people feel uncomfortable when facing him. I shuddered.

Thanks to his keen aura acquired from years of experience in the imperial court, he immediately guessed that the person in front of him must have extraordinary background.The respectful expression on his face became stronger, and his voice became a little low, "You two distinguished guests, please come inside."

After Lu Huai raised his hands, he didn't say anything, and stepped into Zuo Xiang's mansion with a smile.After he entered the mansion, Tong Wanjin came in front of Shen Haoxuan, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Haoxuan's shoulder, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of Nan Tan's Zuo Xiangye, his ability to adapt to the wind is first-rate."

Tong Wanjin finished speaking with a smile, then hooked his arm, and then hooked Shen Haoxuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Shen Zuoxiang, the person who walked into your house just now is... our Nine Thousand Years from Daxiliang."

The nine thousand years of Xiliang, isn't that Lu Huaiqi?

Shen Haoxuan's heart suddenly jumped to his throat, and he couldn't control his emotions.Tong Wanjin patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "Chen Xiang, don't get excited, don't be nervous. If you get a little excited, our archers ambushing outside your Shen residence will think that you are going to attack What are our Nine Thousand Years doing?"

With one hand, Tong Wanjin pointed lightly at the rows of eaves opposite Shen's residence, and wherever Tong Wanjin pointed, a pair of sharp eyes and a sharp spear pointing towards them would appear. arrow.

Shen Haoxuan became even more nervous now, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva cautiously, and looked at Tong Wanjin again with trembling eyes.Tong Wanjin smiled and gently hugged his shoulder, "Okay, okay. Let's go to the mansion to discuss important matters."

"Yes, yes!" Shen Haoxuan nodded hurriedly, with those archers present, it meant that if something happened to Lu Huaiqi in his residence today, these people in Shen's residence would also die.

After Shen Haoxuan led the two of them into the living room, he asked the housekeeper to serve the best tea in their house.After there was no one else in the study room, Shen Haoxuan stood half hunched, Lu Huai gently twirled his knuckle fingers, picked up a cup of hot tea, and gently swiped the tea leaves floating on the water with a celadon tea cover.

His movements were leisurely and elegant, but Shen Haoxuan was dripping with sweat watching from the side.

"Nine, nine thousand years old..." He respectfully called, "Your visit to the humble house really makes the humble house shine." Shen Haoxuan complimented him in a humble tone.

Lu Huaiqi put the celadon tea bowl in his hand on the coffee table, and slightly raised the corner of his lips, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk secretly. I came to you today, and you should know the reason. But I'm talking to you Before talking about that matter, there is only one question that I am very curious about.”

"Nine thousand years old, please ask, I must know everything without saying anything." Shen Haoxuan quickly and respectfully replied.

To him, Lu Huaiqi was like a golden existence.This man is younger than him, but how can someone who can stand out in Xiliang, where the situation is complicated, be an ordinary person.

"Shen Xiangye, as far as I know, you are the kind of person who likes to please both sides, and you want to leave a way out for yourself in everything. You like this, when Gao Yunzhan is still in Nantan, why are you willing to abandon Gao Yunzhan? Why don't you take the initiative to seek cooperation with us Xiliang people?"

This is not in line with his treacherous and cunning nature.

Tong Wanjin has been playing with the small gilt abacus in his hand. Hearing what Lu Huaiqi said, he didn't lift his eyelids, and he took up Lu Huaiqi's words in a smooth voice, "According to my subordinates' investigation. Yes, Master Shen, your second daughter recommended herself to be Gao Yunzhan's concubine in full view before, and I doubt whether you and Gao Yunzhan, Xiangye, have colluded secretly and wanted to set up a trick to murder us."

When Lu Huaiqi cooperated with Tong Wanjin, the beads of sweat on Shen Haoxuan's forehead became more violent.He hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and explained to the two, "Nine thousand years old... No. I really want to surrender to Xiliang. The words of my second daughter are just jokes..."

"Huh?" Lu Huai slightly raised two sharp eyebrows that seemed to have been cropped, and raised his tone of voice.

Being questioned by him, Tong Wanjin knew that for people like Lu Huaiqi and the others who do great things, the most taboo thing is that others expect them. If he still has something to hide at this time, he will simply die without a place to die.

He frowned, and quickly bowed again and said, "Nine thousand years old... To be honest, it was my eldest daughter who persuaded me with words. Previously, Prince Gao of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to my house alone and wanted to Help him get the whole piece of Tongtian Wall. My eldest daughter told me at that time that Prince Gao of the Northern Qi Dynasty was a tiger and wolf. If he really wanted to help Nan Tan and my family, it would definitely not be possible now. She also said that if I really helped him get the Tongtian Wall, on the day when Ri Nantan fell, I would be completely useless chess, and the end of useless chess would be death. I was persuaded by her words, So I didn’t cooperate with Prince Gao. Therefore, I formed a relationship with Prince Gao, and it is absolutely impossible for me to collude with Prince Gao to murder you Jiuqian.”

At this moment, Shen Haoxuan wished he could dig out his heart and show it to Lu Huaiqi and the others.

"As for writing a letter to the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, to cooperate with Xiliang to eradicate Gao Yunzhan, this idea is also the idea of ​​my eldest daughter. Nine thousand years old...Everything I say is true, and I have nothing to hide. I and Nan Tan's other courtiers They are different. They may still be able to seek the blessing of Gao Yunzhan, but now I can only cooperate with you Jiuqian."

Lu Huaiqi and Tong Wanjin looked at each other, and the eagerness in Shen Haoxuan's eyes, eager to show his heart and soul to them, told them that he didn't seem to be lying.

"Oh!" Lu Huaiqi stretched out his hand to pick up the celadon tea bowl on the coffee table, and took a sip, his thin lips became shiny as soon as they were soaked in the tea.

"But according to what Gu heard, isn't your eldest daughter dull and ugly, Mrs. Chen? Why is she so smart again?" Lu Huaiqi asked pretending not to care.

"The little girl was dull before, but maybe her mother believed in gods. God opened her eyes and let her wisdom be opened." Shen Haoxuan had a sincere expression on his face.He has always cared very little about his eldest daughter, why she suddenly became so smart, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she might just take it as an open eye.

Anyway, this smart eldest daughter is getting more of his attention now.

It's a pity that her face doesn't look very good, otherwise... how could there be such a thing as his second daughter or third daughter.

"Hearing what Shen Xiang said, Gu is very curious to meet your eldest daughter." Lu Huaiqi was really curious about how a person like Shen Haoxuan who has small wisdom but no big structure can raise a big one. daughter.

Of course, he had also heard about Shen Haoxuan, the eldest daughter.Legend has it that she was extremely ugly.

But being ugly didn't matter, and he didn't want to marry her.Besides, even if an ugly woman doesn't mean she can't be treated kindly by people in this world.

Just like his Ali...

If he had judged her by her looks back then, the two of them might not even have the chance to fall in love.

Thinking of Shen Qingli, Lu Huai's eyes as deep as ink darkened instantly.

Shen Haoxuan hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully, "It's really an honor for my eldest daughter to be praised by Jiuqiantui. However, my daughter's appearance is not good. If Jiuqiantui wants to see her now, I will ask someone to go down and let her Let's take some rest first, and then come out to see you nine thousand years old."

Lu Huai nodded, "The name that makes you laugh?"

Mentioning this, Shen Haoxuan raised his head and peeked at Lu Huai with some restraint.Lu Huaiqi noticed that his eyes were dodging, he was a little strange, but Shen Haoxuan said at this moment, "Please don't worry about Jiu Qiansui. My surname is Shen, my eldest daughter Qing Li, and Jiu Qiansui you The beloved wife of Xiliang, the eldest princess of Xiliang, has the same name, but it is written differently. My eldest daughter is Qingcheng Qing."

Regarding naming, Shen Haoxuan was also a little wronged.When her eldest daughter was born, his father-in-law hadn't passed away.The old man married Qingli to her.

According to his father-in-law, he hoped that her granddaughter would become a famous person in the future, so it was Qingli.The people of Liming who poured out the world.

In the past, Shen Qingli, the concubine of Xiliang Guogong's mansion, was not famous, and he didn't know that his eldest daughter had the same name as this concubine.Later, Shen Qingli became the eldest princess of the Xiliang royal family, and married Lu Huaiqi, and everyone in the world knew this name.

That's when he realized that his eldest daughter's name coincided with his family's.The eldest daughter at that time was stupid, cowardly, and ugly.He was still thinking about the same name at the time, how could one marry Lu Huaiqi, who is nine thousand years old in Xiliang, but no one wanted the other because he paid money.

When Lu Huaiqi heard Shen Haoxuan's words, his body stopped suddenly.

Shen Qingli...

Shen Qingli...

The difference of one word means the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course, the fate of the two may also be very different.

"Master Shen, from what you've said, Gu is even more interested in your eldest daughter. Get someone to arrange it now, Gu will see her soon!"
