Seeing that Cui Geng was stunned and silent for a long time, Lu Xiong pinched his teeth, opened his eyebrows and smiled: "What?" The virtuous son-in-law feels that he can't climb up to our Lu family, and he is a little ashamed, isn't he? You don't have to be so inferior! Look at you, you started from scratch at a young age, and you are also Cui's Distillery and Jufenglong Yinhao, and you can become the political envoy of Lingnan Dao in less than two years. My family Lihua marrying you is not humiliating! ”

Cui Geng: "......"

Damn, who is ashamed of themselves, who is inferior?

Cui Geng's face was suddenly covered with black lines, and the cheap old man felt good about himself!

He didn't bother to talk to Lu Xiong, shrugged his shoulders, and asked, "What, my marriage with Ling Ai is also known to Shangguan Sheren?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's current official position is "Neisheren", and all Wu Zetian's edicts are now drawn up by her, so Cui Geng calls her "Shangguan Sheren".

Who knew that Lu Xiong was slightly stunned at first, then stroked his belly and laughed: "The virtuous son-in-law still said that he is not in a hurry? I think you're even more anxious than me! However, the Lu and Cui families have not yet made a decision, so it is too early to inform Lihua's aunt now? ”

call

When Cui Geng heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of air, and he hadn't notified Shangguan Wan'er yet!

But he still said very seriously: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I mean, this Shangguan Sheren has a respected status, not as good as ordinary people. As far as I know, among the sons and nephews of her Shangguan family, there is only one Ling Ai, right? Now that Ling Ai wants to choose a husband, is it more appropriate to ask the opinions of Shangguan Sheren for such marriage events? ”

The implication is that your Lu family can be so awesome in Chaozhou, and you Lu Xiong can be so feared in the local area, don't you rely on Shangguan Wan'er's relatives? Now Shangguan Wan'er is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, an old girl, and she is not married. And she's just such a junior as your daughter. This kind of marriage is a major event, should you ask your Lu family's backer, Lu Lihua and her aunt-Shangguan Wan'er?

Lu Xiong was reminded by Cui Geng like this, but he thought crookedly, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, or a virtuous son-in-law who has thought it through." The old man repaired a book and sent someone to Chang'an to deliver it to Lihua and her aunt. On the one hand, he mentioned this marriage to her, and on the other hand, he also asked her to warn Hou Sizhi to beat him, so that this guy would not want the toad to eat swan meat. ”

"Huh?"

Cui Geng became even more entangled after hearing this, because his purpose this time was indeed to use the big backer behind Lu Xiong to beat Hou Sizhi, so that this guy would retreat from the difficulties and no longer entangle Wang Ruiyue.

However, before he came over, he didn't expect that Lu Xiong's awesome relative would be the legendary Shangguan Wan'er!

Now that these words came out of Lu Xiong's mouth, they changed their taste, as if something was wrong.

Soon, he figured out the joints, frowned slightly, and said: "This is still inappropriate, as soon as you write this letter, it feels like Cui Mou asked to marry the little lady Lihua in order to solve Hou Sizhi." How smart is this Shangguansheren? As soon as I read the letter, I will have a preconceived idea, and I will definitely think that I am the kind of utilitarian villain with evil intentions! It's not good, it's not good, if you can't bear this marriage, you're going to mess it up! ”

The last sentence was naturally said to Lu Xiong, suggesting that he should not write this letter, otherwise it would be self-defeating.

As for the previous paragraph, it was indeed his heartfelt concern. If Shangguan Wan'er was really preconceived and misunderstood that she was the kind of utilitarian villain, and hit her only niece with the idea, would it be better than forcing a dish? With her current power, offending her is even more catastrophic than offending ten Hou Sizhi!

The more he thought about it, the bigger his head became, he felt a little remorseful, he shouldn't have been, he shouldn't have come to Lu Mansion today.

Lu Xiong is now optimistic about Cui Geng's uncle, so naturally he won't think about anything else, but when he heard Cui Geng say this, he also felt a little reasonable, and asked, "What do you mean, son-in-law?" ”

Cui Geng had no choice for a while, so he had to push: "There is no need to write the letter in such a hurry, it is better to go to Chang'an City one day in Xia Qin and visit the Shangguan Sheren in person." ”

"That's good, writing letters, naturally not as respectful as meeting in person!"

Lu Xiong took a sip of some tea soup and said, "But you can't leave now, son-in-law, and this Chang'an comes and goes for ten days and half a month?" Didn't you just say that? Hou Sizhi forced you to protect the media, and wanted to marry Wang Ruiyue, far water can't save the near fire, how should you solve this matter? ”

It can be seen that Lao Lu still cares about Cui Erlang, and really treats him as his son-in-law, which is what he is anxious about.

Cui Geng said: "It's okay, uh, I suddenly thought of a way to deal with it." ”

In fact, now Cui Geng has a way to deal with wool?

Originally, he came to the Lu family to ask for help, but who knew that to his surprise, Lu Xiong's relative turned out to be Shangguan Wan'er.

Who is Shangguan Wan'er? It was on the same line as the samurai.

Once Lu Xiongxiu really sent a letter to Chang'an, he got the help of Shangguan Wan'er and solved Hou Sizhi's trouble. That means that he is also on the side of the samurai!

No, no, you can't do this, the people of the martial arts family still have a few years of good life? If he really wants to mix with the people of the martial family, he still needs to wait until today? On that day, Hou Sizhi wanted to help him go through the door of Wu Chenghei, and he could have agreed, so why should he refuse?

I really didn't expect that Liu Youqiu would get involved with Shangguan Wan'er in this marriage, God is too good at joking!

He already regretted coming to the Lu family today!

And this marriage, he didn't agree with it very much, and now he can't refuse, he rejected the little lady of the Lu family, once it is passed to Shangguan Wan'er, is it good? Lu Lihua is her only niece!

At the moment, I can only not express my position on this marriage in advance and delay it for a while.

As for the way to deal with Hou Sizhi, I can only go back and think of another way.

If you can think of it, it is the best, then there is no need to borrow a place to go to the Lu family, and Shangguan Wan'er has nothing to do with cause and effect.

If you really can't think of a solution, then you can only burn your eyebrows and look at the front of you, and then go to Lufu, so that the cheap old man can find Shangguan Wan'er to solve it.

The marriage with the Lu family should come down, at least Lu Xiong, the old man, is not bad. As for standing in line with Shangguan Wan'er, at best, at least in the next few years, Wu Zetian is still there, Shangguan Wan'er will not fall, and she will definitely be able to grow up at the fastest speed.

When the time comes, she will definitely be able to move into Chang'an, and then find a way to lobby Shangguan Wan'er to let her stand on the side of the declining Li Longji. After a hundred years for Wu Zetian, leave a back hand. As long as it is recognized by Li Longji, it means that the big guys will have a gold medal for avoiding death in the future!

Fortunately, Lu Xiong didn't seem to think very highly of Hou Sizhi, so he didn't break the casserole and asked him what the so-called "coping method" was.

At noon, Lu Xiong Zhang Luo Cui Geng had dinner at home, and under the solemn fist, Cui Geng was really difficult to refuse, and only after eating a meal did he say goodbye and leave.

But from beginning to end, I didn't see the face of Lu Lihua, the little lady of the Lu family.

One person counts short, two people count long.

Returning to the temporary government envoy Yamen, Cui Geng hurriedly convened a meeting of his important people to discuss how to deal with Hou Sizhi, at least let him rest his mind of marrying Wang Ruiyue.

Zhou Xing, the former famous cool official of Datang, and Feng Changqing, the future famous general of Datang, are helpless on this matter.

However, Chen Sanhe, who is now an old god who supervises the imperial history, waved the dust in his hand and said, "Cui Yushi, poor road... Uh, no, Xia Guan has an idea, I don't know if to talk about it or not. ”

Although Cui Geng didn't have much confidence in this guy who was pretending to be a ghost, he still regarded the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and asked with his hand, "What method?" ”

"It's better to see that Hou Sizhi from the poor road, and with the poor road's three-inch incorruptible tongue, you should be able to take the initiative to give up this marriage."

Without waiting for Cui Geng to speak, Feng Changqing rolled his eyes and squirted: "Old god stick, pull it down, don't make a mess." Do you fool those foolish men and fools in the countryside and fool Hou Sizhi? Hmph, I'm afraid that if I can't say a few words, someone will see through it, and we have to think of a way to save you. ”

"Feng Guard, don't look down on people!" Chen Sanhe said unconvinced: "What is Hou Sizhi?" Five years ago, he was still selling cakes on the street, and two years ago he was a house slave, and he didn't know a single big word, so I couldn't fool him? When I saw him, I said that Wang Ruiyue's life was too hard, and his nature was too hard, and now he has killed the two, could it be that he wants to be the third? As soon as these words came out, Hou Sizhi was scared to pee! ”

"Dead two? How do you know? The people asked in unison.

"I... Guess. Chen Sanhe said.

"......Shh

Several people booed him again.

Chen Sanhe explained: "Didn't Master Cui say before that Wang Ruiyue is Zhang Zirui's sequel? Think about it, Wang Ruiyue is from the Taiyuan Wang family, she is not only the daughter of five surnames and seven hopes, but also has an extraordinary appearance, if she is really the daughter of Huanghua, how can she marry Zhang Zirui to be a continuation? Just because of his late uncle's prime minister, Zhang Da'an? Or is it because he is from the Zhang family in Weizhou? Pull it down! These are not enough for the Taiyuan Wang family to marry their daughter to a broken child as a continuation, right? So according to my speculation, eight or nine is not far from ten, this Wang Ruiyue turned out to be a widow. ”

"Hey, that's really a reason!"

Cui Geng and the others couldn't help but light up again.

The social atmosphere in the Sui and Tang dynasties was very different from that of the later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

People's marriage is more about family than chastity and morality.

A widow remarries, although certainly inferior to an unmarried daughter, but only a woman of inferior class.

There are many people who remarry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and even marry three or four times.

Zhang Zirui, a widower, married a widow with five surnames and seven hopes as a continuation, it is difficult to say whether he lost or earned.

If that's the case, there's a lot to be done!

Cui Geng suddenly felt reliable, and hurriedly sent Chen Sanhe to the Tongfu Inn to euphemistically ask Wang Ruiyue to verify the matter.

This is not something unspeakable, and the beauty did not hesitate to tell her bluntly: her ex-husband's surname is Zheng, called Zheng Yiping, and he is a child of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who died young.

Waiting for Chen Sanhe to bring back the news, Feng Changqing and Zhou Xing looked at Chen Sanhe's eyes again, and they suddenly differed.

However, Cui Geng still has some concerns.

Hou Sizhi was born in a well, and even sold himself into slavery, which is not false.

However, there are many people in the world who have been slaves and maids, but from slaves and maids to Liupin Yushi, there is only Hou Sizhi. This person is cunning by nature and is not so easy to fool.

First, Chen Sanhe is the supervisor of the imperial history under his subordinates, how can this be hidden from Hou Sizhi's ears and eyes? If he lobbied, would Hou Sizhi suspect that he had ulterior motives?

Second, just because Wang Ruiyue's two husbands died early, it seems far-fetched to conclude that she will be kefu. Even with Chen Sanhe's eloquence, I am afraid it is difficult to make Hou Sizhi fully believe.

Is there a more suitable person than Chen Sanhe?

In the past, Cui Geng remembered a person - the little monk Huiming of the Lotus Temple.

That's right, it's the little monk who sued Liu Youqiu and the entire Lotus Mountain before to clear his master's grievances, Huiming.

Although Huiming also has something to do with himself, his main identity is still the pillar of the Lotus Temple, even if Hou Sizhi has some doubts, this suspicion will not be too strong.

The most important thing is that when Liang Bo talked about Zhang Zirui in the retrial that day, Hou Sizhi took out a jade pendant in horror, saying that this was a token that he had asked for enlightenment from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, so that he could not be disturbed by the unjust soul.

This shows that he not only believed in Buddhism, but also reached the point of believing in superstition.

Huiming, a well-known monk in Lingnan, is much more reliable than Chen San and this old god.

The only thing to worry about is that although the little monk Huiming is also eloquent, his experience in the rivers and lakes is much worse than Chen Sanhe, can he fool Hou Sizhi?

However, Cui Geng was relieved when he thought about it, and he was not good enough internally and made up for it externally.

As long as he finds a way to let the little monk show a few "miracles", won't he be able to top 10,000 sentences in one sentence?

At that time, let alone Wang Ruiyue Kefu, even if he said that Wang Ruiyue was a fox spirit, Hou Sizhi would believe it!

Thinking of this, Cui Geng said to Chen Sanhe: "You are a subordinate of this official, it is inevitable that it will be a little far-fetched for you to persuade Hou Sizhi, and maybe it will have the opposite effect." In this way, you have one person and three horses, hurry up and go to the Lotus Temple. After finding the little monk Huiming, you tell him to do this and this......"

Next, Cui Geng's voice gradually became low, and Chen Sanhe came over with his ear, and he heard it clearly.

Chen Sanhe listened and listened, looked at Cui Geng's eyes and admired it sincerely, and his mouth was also full of praise, saying yes again and again, and he almost wrote the word "service" in capital letters on his face!
