Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 524 To Wei Mansion

Wei Mansion, in the study——

Wei Hun's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Marquis Su? Why did he come to visit this old man?"

Situ Fenggang at the side, with a touch of thought on his old face, hesitated and said: "Could it be that Duke Wei came here to prevent Situ's mansion from receiving food and fodder?"

In the study room, other people in the middle looked at each other when they heard the words.

Wei Hui frowned, and was about to ask, when suddenly seeing the butler hesitate to speak, he couldn't help but shouted coldly: "What are you talking about?"

The old housekeeper said: "Master, Suhou is with... Miss Seven."

Wei Xiangge ranked seventh among Wei's fourth cousins.

Wei Hun said: "What, what does it mean to be with Xiangge?"

The old housekeeper said: "Master, you will know when you go and meet."

In the study, Situ Fenggang exchanged glances with a few officials beside him. These old foxes above the imperial court obviously smelled something unusual.

Wei Hun said: "Let them wait in the flower hall."

As he said that, he said to several people in the study: "Colleagues wait a moment, the old man is going to meet this Marquis Su, and see what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd."

But Su Zhao and Wei Xiangge waited for a while, Su Zhao said with a smile: "Even you need to be notified when you go home."

Wei Xiangge gave Su Zhao a white look, tugged at the hand of the young gentleman beside him, and said angrily: "I can take you in right now, but you just want to wait for you here."

Going back to your own home, of course you don’t have to stand at the door and not enter, but it’s too childish to be led in like this when the king of a country pays an official visit.

After waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, a young servant came running from the courtyard, panting, and said, "Marquis Su, my master has an invitation."

Su Zhao smiled and said, "Let's go in."

He intentionally took Wei Xiangge with him this time, and he didn't even hide the intimacy between the two.

One is not to demonstrate, and the other is not to tell Wei Hun that his opposition and all kinds of small actions are meaningless.

Instead, he used this to reward Su Guogong who followed Wei Hui in bad things. Even if Wei Hui failed, he would not lose a single bit of his wealth, life, and family wealth.

But what about themselves?

Just need to weigh it.

If you are still ignorant of current affairs, don't blame him for being ruthless in the future.

At this moment, Su Zhao and Wei Xiangge entered the Wei Mansion, and after a while, they came to the flower hall. At this moment, Wei Hun had changed into a Wei Guo official robe and an official hat, looking very formal.

It seems that this is done to show that this is an official meeting between the king of Su and the Dazai of Wei.

Wei Hun raised his head to look at Su Zhao, his old eyes narrowed and became a little darker, and then he turned his eyes to Wei Xiangge, who was holding hands between the two, he felt startled and frowned. , with a cold face and no words.

This world is quite similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of China, and the ethos is not as conservative as the later Song and Ming Dynasties. Therefore, although this kind of arm in hand is a little more intimate, it is nothing. Wei Hui's frown is more to Wei Hui The accident of Xiangge holding hands with Su Zhao.

"I met my grandfather." Wei Xiangge said with a smile.

The young girl has a sweet and naive temperament, even facing Wei Hun in official uniform, she doesn't have much fear.

Most literati are popular with grandchildren but not sons. Compared with Wei Xiangge's father who kept silent in front of Wei Hui and followed the rules, Wei Xiangge was much more comfortable.

Looking at the slim girl, the coldness on Wei Hun's face melted a little. Since Wei Xiangge was a child, he liked this girl with a more boyish personality. When this girl was young, she often plucked his beard, but...

If the female college is not accepted, how could they find this Marquis Su!

Wei Hui nodded, his eyes were warm, he smiled, and said, "Girl, your father, your mother, and your younger brother will come over in a while."

"Grandfather, I'll meet them first." Wei Xiangge broke free from Su Zhao's hand, and walked towards the flower hall to the side.

In the flower hall, Su Zhao and Wei Hun were left for a while.

"Suhou, it's really a good trick! It's a good plan!" Wei Hun said in a cold voice.

Su Zhao didn't answer the question at all, smiled, and said: "Dazai Wei, this Marquis is also the king of a country, since he entered the flower hall, he didn't even let him drink tea, it's too rude."

Wei Hun snorted coldly, if he hadn't, he would not be so rude, but what the young man in front of him did was too infuriating.

Su Zhao sat down on his own, and said: "Dazai Wei, Xiang Ge and I have known each other since we first succeeded to the throne. At that time, the first emperor had just become a great successor, and I seldom inherited the emperor's orders. The powerful ministers were domineering inside, and Zheng Guohu was watching outside. At that time , I also didn’t know that Xiangge was Dazai’s granddaughter, oh, at that time, Dazai was only Dazai at that time, where did this plan come from?”

Hearing this, Wei Hui's expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, "Maybe it's you, Marquis Su, who has far-sighted plans and planned ahead for today's situation."

Su Zhao was drinking tea with his head down, when he heard the words, he just coughed and said, "The words of the Dazai are really like a fairy tale."

Well, this is precisely part of the truth, at least someone Su made a generalization on purpose.

Wei Hui was silent for a while, and felt that this excuse was really untenable.

Su Zhaodao: "Wei Dazai, the longer Wei Pan occupies the four counties, the more serious the damage to the prestige of the Weiguo center will be. Dazai will not be ignorant of this problem."

The so-called sky has no two days, and the country has no two masters. If Wei Pan rebelled against the four counties for one day, the prestige of the Wei State Center would lose one point, because it was always reminding the people of the Wei State that the immorality and embarrassment of the Wei family were also shaken. It has shown the majesty of Wei's county officials in Weiguo.

This is the obvious reason.

It is not a good reputation for father and son to kill each other.

Wei Hun said coldly: "Hedong Wei family has been sealed here since 600 years ago. After the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, the army and people's heart of obedience is deeply rooted. How can it be shaken by the current chaos? I'm afraid that the wolf's ambition Those who take advantage of the fire to rob, this is the enemy that endangers our Wei family, and as a member of the Wei family, this old man will never tolerate it!"

The branch of Wei Hun is a collateral line of the Wei family, whose ancestors traced back five or six generations, and were also the king of the Wei state.

Su Zhao couldn't help laughing at Wei Hun's words, it's okay to be a wolf and ambitious, just report him his ID card.

Wei Hun said: "If Su Hou really cares about justice, the chaos in our country can be put down by the army of the country of defense. Why do we need another army from the country of Su to enter?"

Su Zhao put the teacup heavily on the table beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Dazai Wei, believe it or not, if my country of Su doesn't send troops and horses, or even withdraws its troops back to the country, not only will your defending country not be able to put down the rebels, you may even Will be driven into Diqiu by Wei Pan's troops... At that time, I will have to see how Wei Pan treats you, a traitor and traitor!"

"You..." Wei Hun was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

Su Zhaodao: "Unfortunately, I will not act in such a willful way. The Jin country is in danger of being invaded at any time. At that time, your Wei country will not be able to support it, and my Su country will also suffer."

Wei Hun said: "We defend the country and can defeat the army of the Jin country, don't bother Suhou!"

Su Zhao sneered and said: "It's an enemy of the Jin army. If there were no more than [-] sons of our Soviet army, Wei Pan and Zhao Jian had already entered Diqiu years ago, and you, Wei Hui, are sitting here. Yan Yan!"

Wei Hun blushed, angry and ashamed, pointed at Su Zhao, tremblingly said: "You..."

At this moment, outside the flower hall, there was a burst of chatter and laughter, "Xiangge, grandma, go and have a look."

Su Zhao looked at the sound, but he could see Wei Xiangge, a middle-aged couple, and several young people in the corridor outside the flower hall, surrounded by an old woman in her sixties with gray hair and a smile on her face , leaning on a crested cane, came towards the flower hall.

Su Zhao looked at Wei Hun, who was already red and white with anger, smiled, and said, "Dazai Wei, the country has already said this before, now let's talk about family affairs."

"Let my old lady listen to any family matters." At this moment, the gray-haired old woman stood outside the flower hall and looked at the two people in the hall with a smile.

Su Zhao got up and said, "If you dare to ask, but the old lady is face to face?"

Mrs. Wei nodded with a smile. With black and white eyes, she sized up Su Zhao and said, "In front of me must be Su Hou who makes my old man unhappy."

Su Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking, this old lady is quite interesting.

Su Zhaodao: "As the king of Su, he can't help himself. If Duke Wei is angry about this"

Wei Hun snorted coldly, his anger lingering on his old face.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Wei Hun, and said: "We've talked about state affairs, you can go back and rest first, the old lady wants to hear about Suhou's family affairs."

Hearing this, Wei Hun's face darkened, he stood up from the chair, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

At this moment, he still needs to explain to his colleagues in the study.

With the support of Wei Xiangge's father and mother, Mrs. Wei walked to the side chair and sat down. Behind Wei Xiangge, an eight or nine-year-old boy was curiously looking at her brother-in-law—the legend Su Hou.

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "When did Suhou and Xiangge meet?"

Su Zhao said with a smile: "Last year, she was ordered by the sect to work in Wenyi, so we met."

Mrs. Wei suddenly said: "Oh, there is such a thing. Last time her master came, he mentioned it and told this girl to go out for a long time."

"In this way, there is a predestined relationship, but why did Marquis Su come to the door today?" Mr. Wei turned and said.

Su Zhaodao: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been busy with state affairs. Before that, Zheng State invaded and then Jin State invaded Zhongzhou, so I haven't spared time."

"Grandma, I want to practice too. I don't have time to take it home." Wei Xiangge grabbed the old woman's arm and said coquettishly.

Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "Okay, you are all busy, why would my old lady have too much time at home?"

Secretly thought, it was really the water poured out by the married daughter, she just started to choose gifts, and the girl Xiangge started to defend.

Mrs. Wei said: "It's just that no matter how busy you are, you still need three letters and six engagements. Didn't Su Hou marry Wei Jun's sister a few years ago?"

Su Zhao smiled, Zhizhi didn't pick up the topic, but said: "This time, I propose marriage to your mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Mrs. Wei, but even Wei Xiangge's parents looked up at Su Zhao, obviously shocked and inexplicable.

Su Zhao said: "The younger generation wants to make Xiange a noble concubine."

Everyone: "..."

Madam Wei frowned and was speechless for a while.

Wei Xiangge's mother, this is a woman in her forties. She is pampered and well maintained. There are not many traces of ruthless years on her white skin like jade. Between the facial features, some of Xiangge's features can be faintly seen. The appearance is just a little confused at the moment, and he murmured in a low voice: "I heard that Princess Changle is only a concubine, and Xiangge is a bit higher than Her Royal Highness..."

After finishing speaking, Father Wei on the side frowned and coughed.

Wei Xiangge's mother knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Wei was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Su Hou has a heart."

Su Zhaodao: "Xiang Ge and I met at a very young age, so it should be justified."

As he spoke, he looked softly at the girl beside him.

Mrs. Wei said: "Su Hou is a strong and powerful ruler, so he has his own ideas, and I don't need my wife to talk too much... But I don't know when Su Hou plans to arrange the marriage with this girl Xiangge."

Su Zhaodao: "It's no small thing to confer a noble concubine. The State of Su has its own etiquette, and we still have to wait for Zongzheng from the country to come and hand over the letter of credence. Therefore, this matter is not urgent."

"That's the truth." Mrs. Wei couldn't help but look at Su Zhao with more satisfaction when she heard this.

Originally, I thought it would be a matter of conferring within the country of Su. This is also a common practice of monarchs. I never thought that I could be given the honor of canonization ceremony.

In this era, it is the same as in later generations. If the wedding is grandly organized, it will naturally have the effect of publicity and credibility. Ah bah, the so-called good of combining two surnames.

Combining the two surnames with Jia marriage, Dun has been quiet for a hundred years.

The meeting with Wei Xiangge's family lasted until they had lunch at the Wei Mansion, and Su Zhaocai and Wei Xiangge left the Wei Mansion.

But Wei Hun never showed up, even though Mrs. Wei urged him several times, Wei Hun went to Dazai's office on the pretext that he was on business.

The night was like water, quietly covering the Wei Mansion.

A round of bright moon hangs in the sky, shedding thousands of bright moonlight, the shadows of sycamore trees are dancing, and the lights on the attic are brightly lit.

Su Zhao and Wei Xiangge were talking, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Wei Guifei was very naughty when she was a child. She even climbed trees to dig out bird nests, and the snake scares people."

These are some interesting things about Wei Xiangge mentioned by Wei Xiangge's grandma during the meal, a proper tomboy.

Wei Xiangge smiled and said: "When I was young, I thought it was fun. At that time, my father was busy with being an official, and my mother didn't care about me. By the way, didn't you play these games when you were young?"

Su Zhao smiled and said, "That's not true."

Wei Xiangge laughed and said, "After all, he is the prince of a country."

While the two were talking, Su Zhao turned to ask, "Can your grandma convince your grandfather?"

Wei Xiangge thought for a while, and then said in a clear voice: "My grandma has a strong temperament, and she is in charge of everything in the house, but grandma never asks about my grandfather's outside affairs."

Su Zhao said: "Well, I didn't expect it at first. I have ordered the country to transfer food and fodder, and put down the rebels in the four counties as soon as possible. Once successful, they will be stationed in the four counties to guard against the state of Jin."

Wei Xiangge frowned Yingxiu, and said, "Where is Mr. Wei? What's your attitude now?"

Su Zhaodao: "What attitude can I have? Earlier, he wanted to use Wei Guo's foundation as a bargaining chip to make Wei Jing my wife. I didn't agree. If the entanglement was not too deep now... Right now, we can only wait for the rebellion in the four counties to be put down." After the army, bring the majestic general situation, understand it with emotion, and move it with reason."

If it wasn't for Wei Jing, he would have really let the monarch and ministers of the Wei Kingdom know what it means to seize a foundation.

Weiguo's Achilles' heel is that there are no immortal forces to protect it from wind and rain.

Of course, it was because he took away the Chilin Sect first and leveled the Lidi Glazed Flame Sect.

But today's Weiguo center can't even deal with Ye Shihuan, the patriarch of the Hehuan Sect, which shows its weakness.

Now with the help of Wei Jing, he has penetrated into Weiguo, just looking for a peaceful path to annexation.

Wei Xiangge heard that there was a complex look on the jade face, even if it wasn't Su Zhao, he was already feeling a headache from the intricate relationship inside, and finally turned into a faint sigh, saying: "I hope everything goes well."
