Chapter 1592 General Tiger Girl 76
General Zhao stood up: "As long as you and I think carefully about this matter, I will go to the Zhou family to discuss postponing the wedding."
Zhou Zexian is now injured like this, with large bruises on his back and sprained feet. It will take at least half a month before he can get out of bed. Just give it some time to think about it carefully. After all, the legitimate daughter is different. The status difference between the Zhou family and the Zhenguo General's Mansion is too big. For the darling daughter whose eyes are so painful to marry a scholar who has not yet had an official position, no one else needs to think about it. Their first reaction is: "Is it possible?"
Before he even left the house, a message came from the palace, asking General Zhao to enter the palace immediately to face the saint.
General Zhao immediately put on his official uniform and rode into the palace on horseback.
When I arrived outside the palace, I saw the young eunuch on duty standing next to the red pillar. He secretly stuffed a money bag into it and said, "Who have the officials seen today?"
The little eunuch knew ten taels of silver with just a flick of his finger. Although the money was a little short, it was not hot to hold, not to mention that General Zhao was in a high position and he would not dare not answer questions even if he did not give money. So he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his voice: "Rong Guo Gong has been inside for half an hour."
General Zhao felt confident. At this time, the official's personal assistant came out and invited him in.
After entering, Duke Rong Guo was indeed there, sitting next to him. After General Zhao saluted, the official also gave him a seat.
Seeing the unsightly expression on Duke Rong Guo's face, General Zhao secretly cursed that he really had the nerve to complain in front of the officials. Sue him, sue him, no matter what, his grandson is only thirteen years old, and he was beaten by the shameless Meng Lang.
"Hmm~" The official's expression was not very natural. He cleared his throat and said: "We invited Zhao Aiqing to come today. Here's the deal. The Crown Prince Rongguo has fallen in love with the three daughters of Zhao Aiqing. Duke Rongguo wants me to make the decision. I wonder what Zhao Aiqing thinks?”
After saying that, my old face couldn't help but feel a little hot, and my heart felt a little unhappy. As an emperor, he had to take care of everything, not just the people of the world, but also the marriages of the ministers' children. Will they come to him for trivial matters in the future?
General Zhao was stunned, what~ He didn't come to complain, but the guy who was beaten into a pig's head took a fancy to his cabbage.
Seeing General Zhao's appearance, the official quickly explained: "Rong Guo Gong also loves his son very much. He said that after the prince saw Zhao Aiqing's beloved daughter, he didn't think about food and food, was lovesick, and was about to suffer from hysteria. But I think it's better to ask for advice on this matter. What does Zhao Aiqing mean..."
Duke Rong Guo looked at the official family with a bit of sadness. This old fox could just issue a decree to marry him. Unexpectedly, he had to kneel down and cry, so he let Zhao Yi enter the palace to discuss it. He didn't want to offend Zhao Yi, an old man.
General Zhao's anger immediately rose. Why did his lovesickness lead to illness, and the maid who became ill to the young lady was also secretly confused? He still doesn't want to marry his daughter, even if he wants his grandson to beat his pig son to death.
Showing off his dignity as an official, he held back his anger: "Who is not young? The prince of Rongguo is just on a whim. After a while, when the weather cools down, things will naturally get better."
Anyway, I’ve lost face, so let’s just finish it and get the matter settled!
Duke Rong Guo stood up directly, knelt down, and started wailing, which shocked the officials and General Zhao.
"It seems that the dog can't get cold, and he won't survive if he gets cold." Rong Guogong wiped his eyes with his sleeves and couldn't squeeze out the tears no matter how hard he tried. Anyway, it just made sense. The voice was so sad that it moved the whole world: "General Zhao, in front of the officials, you are pitiful for me. I only have one son like this. If the dog is gone like this, I will not be alive." , woo woo woo..."
The officials were all convinced. They didn't expect Rong Guo Gong to be so shameless, but they showed concern on their faces: "Why are you doing this, Rong Guo Gong? Get up quickly and help him up quickly." Let the eunuch next to him help him.
There was no one in the palace who didn't have a sharp eye. The old man had already mastered it. He walked over to the bent-down man to help him, but he didn't touch him at all. Even if he is helped, he can't be lifted up. If Rong Guogong doesn't achieve his goal, he won't get up.
The official's face was full of embarrassment: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you think? For the sake of the deep affection of Rong Guo Gong and his great love for his son... I will grant you a marriage?"
General Zhao was angry and annoyed. Duke Rong didn't mention anything about Zhao Chengzong being beaten into a pig's head. Even if he did say it at this time, it was because he admired Zhao Yinghong. Thinking of what Zhao Yinghong said in the house just now, that's all she could say at this time, saying that the cabbage in the house could not be given to pigs!
I don’t believe that the officials don’t know about the messy things going on in Beijing! Just leave it like this...
General Zhao stood up, knelt down and clasped his fists: "Forgive me for not being able to obey my order!"
Duke Rong Guo suddenly became angry, pointed at General Zhao with trembling fingers, and roared with righteous indignation: "What a good Zhao Yi, do you just want to see my son die? What's wrong with my Duke Rong Guo's house? Isn’t it worthy of your general’s residence?”
General Zhao still maintains his posture: "The official's family, the second daughter of the old minister was originally scheduled to be the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Zexian, the administrator of Jiupin County. Something happened to Zhou Zexian early this morning, and the second daughter would rather die than get married, so the third daughter took the place of her sister. Marry Zhou Zexian ”
"Uh..." The official was also stunned.
Duke Rong's eyes widened even more. Did he hear it right? Zhao Yinghong was going to marry Zhou Zexian, a scholar without an official position. His father was also a ninth-grade sesame official.
At this time, the door opened, and a young eunuch came in carrying a plate of notes. The old eunuch who was serving took it and placed it on the official dragon table. The official picked up the top copy and opened it to read.
Duke Rongguo almost jumped up: "Zhao Yi, what do you mean? Is my mansion, Duke Rongguo, worse than a ninth-grade county registrar?"
"That's not what I meant!" Seeing Duke Rong's angry look, General Zhao felt as happy as when he beat the Huns and Tatars and fled with their heads in their hands. He kept his kneeling position with his fists in his hands, absolutely loyal and righteous. .
"Old minister, I just tell the truth and never deceive. I was wrongly loved by the prince of Rongguo, but my daughter has been betrothed to someone else. Even if the betrothal is not as rich and powerful as the Duke of Rongguo, the lord is forcing me to marry her. She is only from a small family, but the promised How can things be changed! In addition to loyalty, the Zhenguo General Mansion values integrity most.”
Honesty sucks. I don’t believe that when fighting, soldiers will not use deceit to deceive the Huns and Tatars.
But what could Duke Rong say? He could only scold Zhao Yi secretly for being cruel. In order to avoid marriage, he would rather marry his legitimate daughter to the son of a ninth-rank official.
The official put down his father-in-law and sighed deeply: "Mr. Rongguo, it seems that this is God's will. How about I discuss it with the queen and choose a suitable betrothal son among the noble ladies in the capital."
Duke Rong Guo didn't want to give up just yet: "Even if we are engaged, we can still break off the engagement!" He has already lost his face and doesn't care if he loses it again.
General Zhao was still kneeling, his posture as steady as Mount Tai: "I'd like to thank the officials, although the Zhou family is a small family, they have high moral integrity. If it weren't for not wanting to regret the marriage, nothing unexpected would happen to Zhou Zexian this time. Please give me a warning!"
The official looked surprised: "What's the accident? What does this have to do with regretting the marriage?"
It seemed that the official was just an old fox, so General Zhao just pretended that he didn't know anything and simply explained the matter.
