Chapter 498: First Meeting
readx;??
What's going on? Coming out of Huanghuayi, Zaiquan was tired of not being able to do it, he originally thought that this was a beautiful matter, and he could settle down in three ways, but he didn't want to be content with this kid who was not married for a long time, but he was actually a Westerner, and he wanted to pursue a free marriage, which is good, not only can he not fall well, but the other party may also be resentful, which can really be said to be not good!
However, what made him a little relieved was that the kid finally knew some proportions, and knew that this matter was not violated, but it was just a little more trouble, and he was thinking about it in his heart, but he caught a glimpse of Yicheng Sanjin Bao leading the two sons to hurriedly turn to the other direction, what was this kid avoiding him?
Zaiquan looked at it intently, and the woman walking behind was not Zaitong, who was dressed as a man? This girl is here to meet Yi Zhizhi? It is not uncommon for a woman to be a member of a large Han family, showing up, listening to books and watching plays, going to teahouses and restaurants, and even drinking at the same table with men.

Zaitong disguised as a man to come to Huanghuayi, there is only one possibility, secretly come to see Yi Zhi, it seems, this is not a worry-free master, Zaiquan is depressed and wonders at the same time, why is Zaitang's news so well-informed? Have you already arranged for someone to wait at Huanghua Station?
To say that for Zaiton, his impression is excellent, not only his appearance and figure, but also his temperament, when he is always a shallow smile, he is also selected left and right, and finally decided, because he doesn't know Yi Zhi's preferences, so he set a few candidate women.
Seeing this situation, he neither called it broken, nor was he in a hurry to leave, he planned to see what the result was first, it was all the clan, and he couldn't be ruthless and mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, this Sijiu City is so big, look up and don't see anyone who looks down, there is no need to attract hatred, Yi Zhizhi is a hot item, and there are many people in Sijiu City who want to accept him as a son-in-law and grandson-in-law.
Besides, in terms of easy contentment, he is not easy to press, there is no need to turn a good thing into a bad thing, it is a big deal to put a little more effort, that kid is an understanding person, and he must always let him admit it.
Zaiquan is indeed not mistaken, it is indeed Zaitong who dresses as a man, and she is naturally Zaidao, Yicheng Sanjin Baoben is a slave of Rongbeile Mansion, and he has already received the order of the fourth lady Zaidao, and as soon as Yi Zhizhi entered the Huanghua Station, he went back to the house to report upside down.
Although he avoided Zaiquan, Zaitong still blushed with shame, hesitating whether to go to see Yi Zhicontent, since Zaiquan had seen Yi Zhixing, the other party obviously already knew about it.
Seeing that her sister's pace slowed down, she was only timid, and quipped: "It's all at the door, shouldn't my sister be timid?" ”
"The prince came out of that man's courtyard." Zaitong said with a hesitant face: "The Han people are not as good as us." ”
This is all at the door and turned back, and if it is known, it will not be laughed to death, and he will roll his eyes and say: "What are you afraid of when you don't recognize that person's sister?" ”
Thinking about it, it's also the same reason.,Zaitong really wants to see Yi Zhi's contentment with his own eyes.,There are a lot of rumors about Yi Zhi's contentment in Jingshi.,There are both good and bad.,You can't just close your eyes and get married.。
Sending Zaiquan away, Yi Zhizhi was alone in the room in a daze with charcoal fire, he never thought that Daoguang hurriedly called him into Beijing, it was to give him a marriage, and the woman is still the daughter of the clan, he has never lacked women around him over the years, but he has never been in love, he doesn't want his parents to arrange a marriage, he just wants to find a woman he loves, but he didn't expect that this is also a luxury.
Marriage with the clan, this he can't refuse at all, Daoguang is already wary of him Yuan Qi, if he refuses to marry, the consequences are self-evident, Daoguang may take drastic measures to collect the power of the Nanyang Navy, for Yuan Qi, it may also be curbed by support, or directly appoint him as a Beijing official, so that he can not leave the Beijing Division.
After lighting a cigar and meditating for a while, he got up and walked out of the room, and summoned Li Wang to instruct: "Go find a flag man to inquire about the non-intermarriage between the Manchus and Hans, and what is the charter for intermarriage." ”
"Yes." Li Wang hurriedly responded, but he was puzzled in his heart, why did he inquire about this? He hurried out of the yard, and met the three of Yicheng Sanjin Bao and Zaitong Zaidao, he saw a lot of women dressed as men, and he saw that Zaitong Zaidao was a woman at a glance.
Li Wang, who was recognized by Sanjin, smiled and said: "Please also ask Master Li to bring a tribute, and a distinguished guest will come to visit the lord." ”
Li Wang bowed slightly and said, "Little one, may I ask the two of you?" ”
Without waiting for Zaitong to speak, Zaidao preemptively said: "We are Sushun's friends." ”
Su Shun and Yi Zhishu are quite close, and when they heard that they were Su Shun's friends, Li Wang dared to ask more, and hurriedly said, "Please wait a while." As he spoke, he quickly turned back and reported it.
Hearing that it was Su Shun's friend, and it was two women dressed as men, Yi Zhicontent's first reaction was Qi Shan's daughter Jin Ling, and she hurriedly walked out, and when she arrived at the door, she saw that it was two women who had never known each other. ”
Zaitong had long heard that Yi Zhisheng was handsome, and when she saw it at this time, it was like this, with a tall figure, thick eyebrows and a hanging nose, and a pair of eyes that were dark and bright, which was very different from ordinary southerners, and she didn't dare to look at it more when she spoke a good northern official dialect, so she lowered her eyes after only a slight look.
Zaidao looked at the other party carefully a few times without care, and then smiled and said: "We are Su Shun's friends, I heard that Brother Guocheng came to Jingshi, I came to see if there is anything that can help, Su Shun is not in Jingshi, we can't neglect his friend." As she spoke, she also snorted, meaning that it was very cold outside, so we couldn't keep standing outside and talking.
Yi Zhifen smiled, stretched out his hand and politely said, "It's cold outside, please two inside." ”
After entering the room, after politely letting the second daughter sit down, Yi Zhizu ordered to make tea and charcoal, extinguished the cigar, opened the window to breathe, and then smiled: "I haven't asked the two of you yet." ”
"My surname is Jin, I am the fourth, and this is my brother." Zaidao rushed to say, although she was young, she was much more naughty than his sister Zaitong, and she sneaked out to play, whether it was talking or dealing with people, she was far stronger than Zaitong, and she continued: "Brother Guocheng, we have been famous for a long time, and we are fortunate to see it today, which is really fortunate." ”
Seeing that she was pretending to be old, but her voice was crisp, Yi Zhizhi smiled secretly in her heart, Su Shun has a lot of friends in Beijing, how could she talk about these two girls coming to offer their courtesy? It seems that she is not Jin Ling's friend, Jin Ling has returned to Beijing, and if she wants to come, she will come by herself, and she is Jin Ling's friend, and they will also introduce themselves.
His mind was racing, he had vaguely guessed the identities of the two, and naturally he would not break it, it would be boring to break it, and immediately glanced at Zaitong, who had not spoken, and saw that she was tall, with delicate facial features, and fair complexion, she seemed to be a little nervous and pursed her mouth, and couldn't help laughing, "It's just some false name." As he spoke, he turned his head, "I don't know what places can I play in Jingshi in winter?" ”
Zai Dao said with some surprise: "Brother Guocheng has time to play?" ”
Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "This time I entered Beijing, there is nothing important. ”
Nothing important? Zaidao rolled his eyes and said straightly: "I heard that Brother Guocheng has not been married for a long time, and the emperor intends to marry you, haven't you heard of it?" ”
"The Emperor's grace is immense." Yi Zhishu arched his hand to the north and said, "Since it refers to marriage, naturally it has nothing to do with me." ”
This is also true, since it refers to marriage, what is the matter with him? Zaitong thought about it for a while and then asked, "Why is Brother Guocheng unmarried?" ”
With a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi said: "Do you know what Westerners' marriages are all about?" Western marriage is autonomous, free, they don't have the order of their parents, they don't have the words of matchmakers, they are free to love, men and women know each other and love each other, and then they get married. As he spoke, he sighed lightly, "After all, it's still a luxury." ”
Although the status of the clan women is noble, but in terms of marriage is more inferior than the average Han woman, most of their marriages have political overtones, many of them are married to the Mongolian ministries, married in Beijing, but also out of political interests or family interests considerations, listen to the easy to sigh lightly, Zaitong deeply sympathize, this kind of involuntary feeling, she is especially touched during this time, listening to this, she also knew that the other party has not been married for a long time, not because of anything else, but for the pursuit of free marriage.
Zai Dao's eyes lit up when he listened, and he continued: "I heard that Yuan Qi's newspaper in Guangzhou advocates women's rights, what is women's rights?" Fighting for the freedom to marry? ”
"The freedom to marry is only one type of femininism." Yi Zhishu said in a relaxed tone: "What is feminism? It is the right of women, such as going out to participate in social activities, participating in work, earning money, economic independence, the right to education, and the right of women to be officials in the West, England is the queen in charge, Queen Victoria, became the queen of England at the age of eighteen, and now she is only in her twenties. ”
Zai Dao was surprised and said, "The king of England who invaded our Qing Dynasty is actually a young woman? Is she married? ”
"Married." Yi Zhizhi said: "I married her cousin four or five years ago. ”
Zaidao wanted to ask again, but the sister who listened to him hummed, and then he realized that he was unconsciously taken away from the topic by Yi Zhicontent, and immediately a little sneering, Yi Zhishu glanced at Zaitong who had not spoken with some curiosity, and encouraged with a smile: "If Brother Jin wants to know anything, just ask." ”
Zaitong raised her head and glanced at him boldly, panicking for no reason, she always felt that the other party seemed to have seen through their identities, and groaned slightly, before she said: "Brother Tai wants to pursue the freedom of marriage, so he is willing to marry the emperor?" ”
The voice is soft and very good, but the meaning revealed in the words is not very good, and the other party does not seem to be satisfied with Daoguang's marriage, Yi Zhizhi pondered for a moment before saying: "I can't just pursue my own marital happiness, I am the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi, and I have to think about Yuanqi." Saying that, he said with a little self-deprecation: "Freedom of marriage, we need an environment, it seems difficult for us in the Qing Dynasty, everyone is not out of the door, and it is rare to see leisure, how can you hope for free love?" ”
As he spoke, he changed the topic again, "It seems that the women of the Jingshi Banner have the possibility of free love, after all, they can be free. ”
"Not really." Zaidao took over and said, "Brother Guocheng hasn't heard of the draft?" All the women of the flag people have to participate in the draft, and they can only marry if they are overage. ”
Zaitong was flustered, always a little uncomfortable, and when he saw Li Wang come in to serve tea, he took the opportunity to get up and said: "Brother Tai is a southerner, and he is not tolerant of the cold in the north. ”
Yi Zhishu hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "The two of you are grateful for your kindness." ”
Sending the two girls out of the courtyard, and seeing Yi Cheng Sanjin Bao leave behind the two women, Yi Zhizhi turned back to the room and instructed Li Wang: "Go and find out about Yi Cheng's situation and how to call him." He wanted to see if his judgment was accurate, that Yicheng obviously had an unusual relationship with the second daughter, otherwise he would not be so diligent and cautious.
Without waiting for Li Wang to turn around, Zaiquan came to the door again, and seeing that he didn't leave, Yi Zhixiang was a little surprised, and he understood after a turn of thought, and said with a smile: "Those two women are from Rongbeile Mansion?" ”
Zaiquan said with a smile: "Exactly, this king didn't expect that they would come to the post station, the older one is Zaitong, and the younger one is Zaidao." ”
For Zaitong, Yi Zhi's content impression is not bad, he is tall, his appearance is not good, his temperament seems to be okay, he doesn't talk much, he looks quite gentle, he doesn't want to toss anymore, he really wants Zaiquan to arrange an opportunity to let him see a few other women, maybe it will leave people with an impression of not knowing what to do and being arrogant, and it is not a good thing to spread it to Daoguang's ears.
After a slight groan, he said, "The prince will probe the mouth of the Rongbeile Mansion." ”
That's recognition! Zaiquan was a little pleased, but, since he is a good person, he wants to do it to the end, and there will be many places that can be used in the future, and finally there is such a good opportunity, he naturally hopes that the other party can accept his love well, when he said: "Zaitong's identity and appearance are needless to say, gentle and virtuous, similar to his mother, and it is a rare blessing to take a concubine in the future, and to marry a gentle and virtuous woman."
However, after this king undertook the decree, he put a lot of effort into it, worried that the national city does not like the gentle temperament, and specially selected a few Chunlan Qiuju, each of whom is good at it, so the national city might as well meet them? ”
"The prince's kindness, I am grateful." Yi Zhishu hurriedly smiled: "Don't bother the prince, if the other party has no intention, it's not too late to say goodbye, but I hope the prince won't force the other party, anyway, there are candidates who are not." ”
"The country can rest assured, and this king will not be reluctant." Zaiquan smiled lightly, as long as Yi Zhilu was willing to accept his feelings, this matter would be much easier, Rong Beile Mansion did not agree, some of the county king Beile Beizi hoped to recruit Yi Zhishu as a son-in-law, now this situation, who can't understand, the imperial court wants to build a navy, to develop a railway, to innovate the military system, to conquer Annan, which thing is inseparable from Yi Zhizhi? This is a good son-in-law who is difficult to find with a lantern, and compared to him, those champions are not bullshit.
