Chapter 45 Sending Invitations
I have to say that Li Er's efficiency is still very high, and after leaving the court, Zhang Nan received the holy decree of canonization. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info came to announce the decree was Li Er's personal eunuch, Liu Bing.
"I'll just say, adults will definitely soar, no, won't you become Lord Zhang now?" Liu Bing waited for Zhang Nan to finish receiving the order, and said to Zhang Nan with a smile.
"Accidents, in fact, I don't want to." Zhang Nan put away Li Er's holy decree and said to Liu Bing, in fact, what Zhang Nan said was also the truth, Li Er's come, Zhang Nan can step into the court with half a foot, but Zhang Nan is not ready for this.
"The lord is really a strange person, what others can't ask for, but here the lord abandons it." Liu Bing looked at Zhang Nan, who was really reluctant, and said in surprise, I heard Zhang Nan say that he didn't want to be a leader, and I thought that Zhang Nan was just talking, but I didn't expect Zhang Nan to be really unwilling.
"Hey, what kind of strange person is there, it's just an ordinary person." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, then the slave will congratulate the lord first, there are still many things in this palace, and the slave won't stay long, the lord will stay." After Liu Bing finished speaking, he took the little eunuch back to the palace.
Zhang Nan naturally didn't mean to leave Liu Bing for a meal, he still waited for Liu Bing to go to Cui Shao's mansion to deliver the invitation, this other prince Zhang Nan couldn't care so much, just ask Su Wen to send it. However, Cui Shao's invitation card has to be delivered by himself, otherwise this old man should be chattering again, after all, this is also his father-in-law.
After tidying up, Zhang Nan came to Cui Shao's house, and Cui Shao was sitting in the main hall drinking tea after a while.
"Oh, virtuous son-in-law, congratulations on being named the founding county man by the emperor." Cui Shao said with a smile when he saw Zhang Nan walking in.
When Zhang Nan heard Cui Shao say this, he arched his hand and said, "It's a fluke, it's just a small favor for the emperor." ā
"This saving the life of the queen mother can also be said to be a small favor in your mouth, you are really too modest." Cui Shao took a sip of tea and said.
"Oh, my father-in-law is well-informed, the emperor told you?" Zhang Nan saw that Cui Shao knew so clearly, and asked strangely.
"Hey, where can the emperor tell me this, I have my own way." After Cui Shao finished speaking, he didn't want to continue the topic, Zhang Nan also saw what Cui Shao meant, and diverted the topic with interest.
"It's not a big deal to come today, it's just to send an invitation to my father-in-law, isn't this knighted by the emperor? I just want to invite a few adults to my house to get together to show that I have been in Chang'an for such a long time, and several adults have taken care of me. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he took out the invitation card from his arms and handed it to Cui Shao.
Cui Shao took the invitation and didn't look at it, but just said: "Yes, yes, who did the virtuous son-in-law invite." ā
"Well, there are Lord Changsun, as well as Lord Cheng, Lord Fang, Lord Du, General Li Jing, King Hejian, and Lord Yuchi. That's it, I'm not familiar with the others, so I don't sell my face in front of others. Zhang Nan said.
"Oh? Why don't you invite someone else, this is a good opportunity to meet people, the more people you know, the farther you can go in the court. Cui Shao obviously couldn't understand Zhang Nan's thoughts.
"This, it's not a secret, the son-in-law has no plans to become a leader, this emperor gave me a title, just let me have a name, and didn't give me an official, even if it is sealed, I don't want to go, this emperor knows."
"You don't want to be an official?" Cui Shao listened to Zhang Nan's explanation and asked strangely.
"I don't want to, at least not now." Zhang Nan gave an ambiguous answer.
"Forget it, anyway, there will definitely be a place for you in the court in the future, if you don't want to do it now, don't you want to, it's just that this marriage, shouldn't we discuss it, Yue'er is not small."
As soon as he heard Cui Shao say this, Zhang Nan didn't know what to say, "Why did you forget about this matter before you came." Zhang Nan thought in his heart.
"You give me a letter of approval, when do you plan to marry Yue'er, the emperor has already approved this marriage, don't be pushing me back, in my opinion, the sooner the better." Cui Shao seemed to see that Zhang Nan still wanted to drag back, and blocked Zhang Nan's retreat with one sentence.
"I'm not ready yet." Zhang Nan said with a wry smile.
"What are you going to prepare, this bride price has also been issued, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have also called, and now the emperor has also knighted you, although it is a little smaller, but it can barely be regarded as a well-known person, right, what else do you want to prepare?" Cui Shao asked rhetorically.
"yes, what else do I have to prepare? What else am I not ready for? Zhang Nan asked himself in his heart.
"This marriage event is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents, and you are alone, and now you have done everything you should do, but you have not held a wedding for a long time, which is not good. I think it's better to let the old man call the shots. After Cui Shao finished speaking, he called Cui An.
"Cui An, you go check and see when it is an auspicious day to get married, the closer the better." After Cui Shao gave the order, Cui An just answered and prepared to go out.
"Father-in-law, slow down, can you listen to me." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Cui An also stopped.
"Oh, what do you want to say, you say, I'll listen." Cui Shao continued to pick up the teacup and drink tea.
"Father-in-law, can you give me some time, a month at most, and I will try to come to the ...... during this time Yue'er, even if the wedding is held, the two of us will not be like strangers. Zhang Nan hasn't called Cui Yue'er yet, to be precise, he hasn't even called Cui Yue's name, and for a while, Zhang Nan called Yue'er, and he began to be shy.
After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Cui Shao began to think about it, and remembered his marriage, although now he and his wife are raising their eyebrows and respecting each other, but who knows that when they first got married, he and his wife met for the first time, and everything was completely decided by his father. Cui Shao could also understand Zhang Nan's thoughts now, so he said: "Okay, at most I will give you a month, if you push the old man again, the old man will be mad." ā
After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Cui An, then you go and check the good day and auspicious day in a month." ā
"Yes, sir."
Hearing Cui Shao's agreement, Zhang Nan wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head.
"Whew, I've finally passed the test." Zhang Nan thought secretly.
"Today, Yue'er and her mother went to the temple to offer incense, so forget it today, you, come to find Yue'er more in the future, after all, the two of them will live together for many years in the future." Cui Shao taught.
"Yes, yes, my son-in-law is awake." Zhang Nan hurriedly said.
