Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 155 Wang Xiu's Reluctance
Wang Xiu didn't know what happened to Wang Fu, Cai You, Zhao Ye and others, Liang Shicheng was very anxious after he left.

This is how to do?It never occurred to him that Zhao Ji had the plan to betroth Zhao Fujin to him, nor did he ever have the idea of ​​Princess Shang. Others may wish for it, but it was a bitter medicine for him.

However, Liang Shicheng's purpose is obvious. The emperor sent the most powerful eunuch to talk about marriage, um, it can't be marriage. Zhao Ji is not so faint that he doesn't even care about the dignity of scholars. All embarrassing.

There must be ministers coming to propose marriage. At that point, there is really no room for redemption. If you don't give the emperor face, can the emperor give you face?Thinking about it, he felt a toothache, but it was a pity that Zhong Liqiu went south, and he didn't even have anyone to consult with. If there were dirty tricks, Zhang Qiyuan should be one of them. Unfortunately, he also went home to visit his relatives, so it was impossible to ask for advice even if he was here.

"Hehe, the prince's wedding will be in ten days. What do you think I should wear to attend the ceremony?" The door of the public hall was pushed open, and Cai Yi's laughter came, speaking without any scruples.

Shen Mo followed into the door and said with a smile, "You can just wear the mian suit."

"It makes sense." Cai Yi smiled maliciously, and said to Wang Xiu, "Brother Wen Shi, aren't you bored sitting alone?"

Wang Xiu couldn't help smiling wryly, slandering Cai Yi that this guy is not too messy, what a mess, and said angrily: "I'll sit in mine, you can wear whatever you like, mind my business, and go cool off."

Cai Yi and Wang Xiu have a deep friendship, they can take jokes, they don't care about Wang Xiu's jokes at all, and said with a smile: "Why, the prince's wedding, this is a big celebration for the court! The princess is a Wukang army Later, Zhu Bocai's sister, Jiangmen Hunv, was born with heavenly fragrance and national beauty, and she has been hiding in the mansion forever."

"The more you talk, the more shameful it becomes." Shen Mo looked outside the public hall vigilantly, closed the door, and said seriously: "The trouble comes from the mouth, today's princess is tomorrow's queen, you must be beaten like a pig's head. "

Cai Yi's face changed, but he still said indifferently: "Come on, let's not talk about it."

Shen Mo nodded, looked at Wang Xiu and said, "Wen Shi, I see you are depressed, what's going on?"

The prince's big wedding, Zhu Bocai's daughter, Wang Xiu is full of worries, the prince marrying a wife is none of my business, now the trouble is how to push Zhao Ji's good intentions, that beautiful emperor, he can't bear it, silently asked him At that time, his eyes fell firmly on Cai Yi's face, and he had an idea in his heart.

"Brother Wen Shi, what do you think I'm doing?" Cai Yi panicked being stared at by Wang Xiu, causing goosebumps all over his body.

Wang Xiu smiled strangely, and said softly: "It's a serious matter, the officials seem to want to arrest me as a son-in-law."

"This is a good thing! I didn't expect Jin Mingchi to let you escape, and you ended up in the Tian family." Cai Yi smiled heartlessly.

Silent but thoughtful, he looked at Wang Xiu. He was thinking more complicated than Cai Yi Changyuan. He felt that Wang Xiu's attitude was very obedient, and said cautiously: "Emperor Maude."

"What." Only then did Cai Yi come to his senses, and stared at Wang Xiu in astonishment, his face extremely exciting.

Wang Xiu didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly, keeping everything in silence.

Silently smiling, he said: "This is a good thing, Wen Shi has become a son-in-law, and our brothers will follow suit." He was just joking, and he also knew that with Wang Xiu's ability, he would never be reconciled to becoming a son-in-law and lose the opportunity to display his talents.

Wang Xiu had a toothache for a while, looked at Cai Yi, who had an uncertain expression, and said with a wry smile: "You two know, if there is a way, I'll treat you to a drink."

Cai Yi forced a smile, didn't answer, and said with a silent smile: "There are people who want to be the bed of the official family, but they are not so lucky. You are so lucky to push the beautiful Diji away. I really don't know." Tell me what's good about you."

Wang Xiu shook her head and smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "Everyone wants a beautiful woman, but our brothers don't have that fate, we just want to do things well, if Zongji is a concubine, that's all."

Zong Ji?Taking the princess as your concubine, this fucking talk will ruin a lot of people!Cai Yi coughed, and said solemnly: "Okay, it's time to go to work, the work of the Outer Six Yamen is quite heavy."

"That's right! Business is the most important thing." Wang Xiu looked at Cai Yi meaningfully, with a successful smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Cai Yi hurried out, Shen Mo found an excuse to stay, and said meaningfully: "Wen Shi, what should you do if the official gave you a marriage? What about Miss Youqin?"

Wang Xiu blinked and said in a deep voice, "Never favor the princess."

"It's hard to handle!" Cai Yi knew Wang Xiu's temper, since he said it, it represented his heart, but he didn't like it very much.

"There will always be a way." Wang Xiu said lightly, he had a vague feeling that just notifying the Cai family in advance would not be sure, and he should think of a different way, as time was running out for him.

But he said that Cai Yi came out without saying a word, and went out of the Yamen and went home.

When Cai Jing received Cai Yi's report, even though he was old and calm, he couldn't help but be surprised. He had to fight for his son Cai Yu to marry Maode Emperor Ji. , but also whether he can regain power and further consolidate Zhao Ji's trust in him.

For him, nothing is more important than solid favors. Wang Fu, Cai You, and even Lin Lingsu showed off in front of Zhao Ji one by one, dividing up Zhao Ji's favor for him, but he was getting older and brought up a new law The actual failure and rising juniors made him feel more and more crisis.

Wang Xiu is only his choice, not the best choice, mostly reserved for his grandson Cai Yiyong. He continues to close the relationship with Zhao Ji. The combination of Cai Yi and Maode Emperor Ji is the best way. There must be no mistakes.

His first thought was not to let Wang Xiu become a son-in-law, absolutely not, even if it ruined Wang Xiu.

When he asked a few more questions, he understood what Wang Xiu meant. Since Wang Xiu didn't shy away from Cai Yi, he meant to let Cai Yi come back to spread the word. Zizi is quite self-aware, he is a witty and witty person, his expression is much more relaxed, and he said lightly: "You young people should get together more, why not invite Wang Xiu and the others to go to Fanlou for more drinks, let go of what should be let go, life can There are a few times of madness, young people don’t enjoy themselves, and elders are sad, just say what I said.”

How could Cai Yi know Cai Jing's plan, and he felt a little guilty. He told Cai Jing that these words were tantamount to betraying Wang Xiu. When he hurried back from the office, he didn't think too much about it. Realizing that it wasn't good, Big Daddy's expression was too calm, which made him afraid.

"Big daddy, Wang Xiu didn't want to."

"I see, you go, go ask Wang Xiu to eat!"

After dismissing Cai Yi, Cai Gengdao and Cai Tao came over not long after. They were both surprised when they heard that Zhao Ji wanted to marry Emperor Maode to Wang Xiu.

In terms of favors, Cai Tao owed Wang Xiu a great favor, but he did not hesitate because of favors, and resolutely said: "Emperor Maude is of great significance to the Cai family, and we must not let the flowers go to other families. When necessary." Without further ado, his attitude was very clear.

Cai Jing glanced at his son, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his cloudy old eyes, but he didn't speak, just let out a long breath.

Cai Gengdao was much more sophisticated, he blinked and said: "Wang Xiu let Erlang know, that means he has other plans, at least he won't offend my family."

Cai Jing glanced at Cai Gengdao appreciatively, closed his eyes slightly and slowly twirled his beard, as if an old god was always there.

"Emperor Maode Ji is the most beloved sister of the official family. I don't believe that Wang Xiu, a Penglai Sanxian, won't fall in love with her." Cai Tao said coldly, not caring about her father's disappointed peripheral vision.

Cai Gengdao shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "Sir, there must be another way."

"Let Erlang invite Wang Xiu to Fan Lou for a drink." Cai Jing said quietly.

Cai Gengdao clapped his palms and smiled softly: "Your Excellency is good at planning. If Wang Xiu understands it, the matter will become seven levels. Then let the family work hard to avoid long nights and dreams."

Cai Jing raised his eyebrows, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then it's up to you."

. .

"Fourth Sister, Daddy really wants to betroth you to that Wang Xiu."

In the corner of the mountain in Yanfu Palace, Zhao Duofu looked at Zhao Fujin with starry eyes. Compared with the fourth sister, she was too mediocre. The fourth sister's demeanor and demeanor were like a fairy in the blue world, but she was just an ordinary Such a girl, so that she can't even get jealous, and she is willing to be a foil for the green leaves.

The glamorous Zhao Fujin spat, rolled his eyes, and said shyly, "Fake, what's the matter, don't listen to those slaves talking nonsense."

"That's not right! Even the empress said so." Zhao Duofu's expression of disbelief was quite cute.

"Your Majesty, how can you just say it casually? Daddy will definitely tell me when he has to make a decision." Zhao Fujin's heart beat wildly.

"Fourth sister can marry Wang Xiu, so that I don't have to think about his poems all day long, and then I will pester him all day long." Zhao Duofu smiled grinningly.

"Nonsense, isn't it just a scholar, what's so great about it." Zhao Jinfu rolled his eyes and made a gesture to slap.

"Why am I talking nonsense, don't you sing Wang Xiu's lyrics all day long?" Zhao Duofu muttered in dissatisfaction, but after all, she was an eight or nine-year-old child, and her thinking was very incoherent. She blinked and smiled and said: "I heard from those palace people that Wang Xiu's reputation is well-known outside, and all major restaurants are singing Wang Ci. It is not a loss for the fourth sister to marry this kind of scholar. Oh, oh, why are you flipping my head?" ?”

Zhao Fujin took his bare hands like green jade, rolled his eyes at Zhao Duofu, and said angrily: "I told you to chew your tongue, and if you talk about this matter, I will beat you."

"Anyway, Daddy will make the decision for you."

"Dare to say."

"Oh, don't say it, don't say it." Zhao Duofu hugged his forehead with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"If you want to marry her, if you don't fill in hundreds of poems for me, there is no way." Zhao Fujin's small face was puffed up, but his beautiful eyes were bright with hope, revealing endless playfulness.
