Records of the King of Xin'an County

At some point, those tricksters playing the piano and singing quietly retreated.In the octagonal pavilion hung with palace lanterns, there are only three handsome young men with different styles left.After drinking some buttermilk, the older one still had a smile that was not a smile; the younger one's face turned green and then white, full of helplessness; the remaining one turned his eyes curiously, looking at this , Look at that, the face is full of searching.

"Brother treats me really well." Not long after, Du Chongfeng regained his indifferent attitude, "Since this is the case, why not become the son-in-law of the Yang family? I am just an orphan from the Jingzhao Du family. How can I be here today? Even if it’s not for other reasons, for this kindness, I should do my best to repay the government of Hongnong County. What’s more, marrying the daughter of Hongnong’s Yang family is also considered me. climbed high."

Hearing this, the prince clapped his palms and smiled, as if he was very moved: "I knew that Du Shishilang has always been such a person who values ​​love and righteousness!! Cousin really did not miss the wrong person! Maybe in a year or two you will be If you can win the first rank, then marry a beautiful woman in a glorious manner! At that time, your uncle will plan for you, and your cousin will plan for you, so why worry about not being able to rise to the top in the future?! Tsk tsk, glory and wealth, full of children and grandchildren, how many It is really enviable for Fourteen Lang to have a fate that no one can ask for."

He said envy in his mouth, but there was a touch of sarcasm in his eyes, how could Du Chongfeng not see it?

This person was clearly mocking him: he had clearly avoided Yang Ba Niang before, how could he suddenly change his temper and accept another marriage that was not as good as before?What's more, the love for children is second to none, and the ambition of the Yang family, which has been inflated to the limit, is what he can't avoid the most.After a short period of time, the Hongnong County Government House, which dedicated his daughter, became more and more popular. It was too late for him to hide, so how could he actively get involved in the vicissitudes of the situation? !

Thinking of this, Du Chongfeng and Du Shishilang's heart felt tight - he was clearly a blood brother, and he was also the empress of the dignified Langya Wang family, so how could this person be completely different from Wang Zimu?If it were Wang Zimu, even if he was facing a stranger, he would not be so aggressive with his words.What makes him most unwilling is that he clearly knows that these words are just a way to provoke, but he has to admit that it is really impossible to compromise easily in his heart.

"Yang Family?" The Tianshui County King blinked, and finally grasped the key point, "So you are all taken by Yang Shijing? Tsk, this old man has a good eye, and he knows how to strike first. It's a pity, The whole family likes to be flattered, and there are many twists and turns hidden in their hearts, which is really troublesome. Besides, they are also the enemies of Yue Niang, and the enemies of Yue Niang are the enemies of my elder brother and me. "

As he said that, he gave Wang Zixian a sideways glance: "Could it be that you want to join the enemy? Does my elder brother know about this? No matter whether you will offend the Yang family or not, you must reject that Yang Shijing! Besides, uncle didn't agree Want to be a matchmaker for you, and find a clan girl to marry you? Isn’t the county head of our Li family a hundred times better than the concubine daughter of their Yang family?!”

Wang Zi Xianmeifeng moved: "Don't worry, the king, the Li family is naturally infinitely better than those greedy people in the Hongnong County government. If I want to marry, I will only marry the Li family who I like." What he said The Li family referred to, of course, is only the king of Xin'an County.He didn't mention any county lord, nor did he mention the saint's matchmaking, so the king of Tianshui County couldn't hear anything.

Li Jing was extremely satisfied with his reaction, and grinned.Not to mention him, even Du Chongfeng couldn't think of going elsewhere.He originally thought that the matter that the prince offered the sage as a matchmaker that he said before was a lie, but it was just a lie to deceive him, but it turned out to be true.From this point of view, he is the only one who urgently needs to get rid of the marriage of the Yang family...

However, it was not them who Wang Zixian said just now, but Li Hui who was slowly approaching.With his extraordinary hearing ability, he had already heard familiar footsteps approaching, so he uttered such a confession.Others couldn't hear the tenderness in it, so how could Li Hui feel nothing?

The Prince of Xin'an's originally dignified expression could not help but relax a little. He glanced at Prince Xian and sat down beside him with a smile.Without waiting for him to ask questions, Li Jing took the initiative to praise the prince and offered a few words, then sighed and looked at Du Chongfeng with regret on his face: "I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect you to be so confused. I don't understand the reason for "conspiracy". It's a pity, it's a pity, I thought you were an interesting person just now. Alas, you may be an enemy in the future."

"..." Du Chongfeng was speechless again.How could he not understand such a truth?It's just that he has too many worries, and his heart is full of contradictions.Moreover, regarding Yang Ba Niang's incident, it was obvious that Yang Qian used him to run on Wang Zixian, and he didn't really think about him, that's why he was so disgusted at that time.But when it comes to other things, the Yang family really only has kindness to him, if they don't reciprocate one or two——

Seeing that he was silent, Li Jing became more and more unhappy: "Forget it, repay the one who should be repaid, and repay the one who should be repaid. In order to spend your whole life with calculated kindness, you just need to think it's worth it! Hmph, but , in the future, you will be better than others, and you will be a fool!"

"..." King Tianshui, is it appropriate for you to show hostility in front of an "enemy" so bluntly?Du Chongfeng sighed for a long time, but suddenly found that since he thought about his predicament until now, no one has ever told him so bluntly—what to do and what not to do.Even if some people saw the conflict in his heart, they just watched silently, as if they didn't care about his embarrassment at all.

King Tianshui was the first person to "point out" him so frankly.Even if what he said was slightly biased, it was not that he had never thought of him.Perhaps, only a person with such a temperament would say something that can be called "confidentially" to an unfamiliar person.Don't worry about anything else, just state the facts.

"Du Shishilang." Seeing him pondering for a long time, Li Hui smiled unhurriedly, "The Hongnong County Government is indeed kind to you, and we can understand that you want to repay them. When you are kind, is it for the purpose of repaying in the future; nor does it mention whether even if they don't show kindness, with your own talent, whether you can solve the predicament at that time-just, I want to ask you, all the people in the world , Is there only one way to repay your kindness? Is there only one option to be a tiger? Is there only one way for you to ruin yourself?"

Du Chongfeng was startled, and his expression became complicated.And Li Jing added without losing the opportunity: "Promise with your body, it's a good story for a woman to do it, but for a man... Tsk tsk."

Du Chongfeng's face changed again, and although Li Hui and Wang Zixian thought it was good that he took the opportunity to take up the words, the truth of what he said was quite questionable.There are many men in the world who promise each other with their bodies to repay their kindness, and there are indeed many good stories.However, when he said it so naturally, it seemed to be so true.

Seeing that Du Chongfeng had wavered, Li Hui said: "Knowing that they are going wrong, knowing that they are obsessed with obsession, what will happen to them in the future, if you don't dissuade them and don't mention them, but instead encourage their ambitions, is this what a real gentleman should do? ?A gentleman does something, but he doesn’t do something. If you don’t persuade, it’s because you can’t persuade; if you don’t help, it’s because you shouldn’t help. That’s all. good?"

For Du Chongfeng, the only people he misses in this world are probably the family of his uncles and aunts who raised him.He lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed again: "What do you want me to do? I'm not a gentleman, not even a good person, far inferior to Zimu's straightforwardness. Don't persuade me, Not only because I can’t be persuaded, but also because I want to protect myself, and I don’t want my family to be affected. If I don’t help, it is also selfish and selfish, not because of the ethics of ministers.”

He didn't say clearly that he wouldn't do anything, but only hinted that with his temperament, many things were impossible to do.Li Hui and Wang Zixian naturally heard it very clearly, but Li Jing said: "There is no such thing as knowing how to turn back when you are lost. My brother is so kind-hearted, I will definitely not make you too difficult. Moreover, if you promise not to join forces, you will be in trouble in the future." We are friends now." The song just now sang and implied a sense of confidant, so he couldn't help but want to make this friend.

Therefore, the king of Tianshui looked at the king of Xin'an with a face of trust: "Brother, what do you think?"

"..." Li Hui curled the corners of his mouth, "Of course, since we are friends, we won't force you." As for when superficial affection will turn into true friendship, it's hard to say. Look at Du Chongfeng's future behavior.As for now, it is enough to maintain the current contacts.

Wang Zixian continued with a smile: "Right now, there is only one thing I need to trouble you to do. That is to mention that my uncle values ​​me in front of my cousin from time to time, or you can give me a few compliments at will. In addition, if you have the opportunity, you might as well Mention all the advantages of me marrying the daughter of the Pei clan in Hedong." The more benefits he gets and the more praise he receives, Yang Qian will definitely not be able to let it go.He doesn't need to think about it, he will settle the marriage of Pei's family in Hedong for him.Of course, it is hard to say whether Yang Shangshu would be furious because of this.

Du Chongfeng was stunned, as if he had never expected his request to be so simple: "...Don't you have a saint as a matchmaker? Why do you need to worry about this marriage?"

"Just in case." Wang Zixian answered very smoothly.

"..." Du Chongfeng was silent for a while, and then said, "Then how should I avoid this marriage?"

Hearing this, Wang Zixian did not hide his "surprise" expression: "Yang's married daughter must only be icing on the cake, and never think about giving charcoal in the middle of nowhere. If you gradually fade away from everyone, and you don't show any talent, it will be too late." How can uncle be willing to marry his daughter to you if you don't take the tribute exam? Moreover, my cousin is surrounded by so many capable people and strangers. Seeing that you are no longer useful, he will not let you give advice when the time comes, isn't it just to avoid it? What about the future?"

"That's right, don't you know how to hide your clumsiness?" Tianshui County King followed suit.

"..." Du Chongfeng only felt that the contempt that he had never experienced in more than ten years had been experienced overnight today.Didn't he ever think about hiding his clumsiness? !But Tibetan clumsiness also has methods and opportunities to hide clumsiness. If it shows signs of doing it well, it would be better not to do anything well!

Li Hui suddenly felt that he should sympathize with Du Shishilang.In addition, probably no one expected that when Wang Zixian and Li Jing cooperated, the lethality was so great.
