I was a gentleman in ancient times

Xu Xuan was still clamoring, "Without you, Wei Su, my life would never be what it is today."

Wei Su sneered, "Even without me, Wei Su, you, Xu Xuan, are still just a villain who can only complain about yourself and others. This is determined by your personality. I once said a word, the structure is too small, and it is destined to be difficult." Achievement."

Xu Xuan was still waiting to refute, Wei Su didn't want to argue with him, so he changed the subject and said, "Before I couldn't understand why you disclosed this news to me in advance. Now I think I know."

Xu Xuan was surprised, "Do you know that I revealed the news?"

Wei Su chuckled, "I didn't know it before, but now I know it. That's why you waited here, right? You wanted to plot against me, Wei Su, and you also plotted against Young Master Huai clearly. Hehe, you think I'm really good at it?" Go according to your idea?"

"Hmph! Apart from accepting and rejecting, do you have a third way to go?" Xu Xuan was convinced that Wei Su had no choice.

"So, you are calculating like this, do you want me to reject or accept the marriage offered by the king?"

Xu Xuan sneered, as if everything was under his control, "Don't think I don't know, you love my sister, and you made such a promise in the early years. If you really broke the promise for the sake of high officials and rich salary, then it will be a You are a stain on Su's life. So, for the sake of reputation, I guess you won't agree to it?"

As long as Wei Su refuses and angers the King and Young Master Huai, the consequences can be imagined, then Wei Su will no longer have a foothold in Lou State.

Wei Su smiled, and pointedly said: "Sometimes reputation is really worthless, why be too persistent? You want me to refuse? Offend the king, offend the son Huai, and finally can't stay in Lou country, hurried like a bereaved dog Escape. Hahaha, I hope it can be as you wish."

Wei Su actually spoke out what was in his heart, Xu Xuan was extremely surprised, but calmed down immediately.How could a smart person like Wei Su not be able to figure out his plan?But what if he guessed it?He also had no way to break the situation.Thinking of this, Xu Xuan couldn't help but feel happy, he hadn't been so elated for a long time.

Someone had already come out to ask Wei Su to go in, but Wei Su ignored Xu Xuan and followed the palace servants into the garden.Turning around a few rockery and stone scenery, all the way to a pavilion, the sun is shining obliquely, making people warm and comfortable.Prince Huai in the pavilion was chatting and laughing with Lou Guojun, while Wang Ziji stood aside, when he saw him coming in, he gave him a sneaky look.

With such an official position as Wei Su, he can't often see Lord Lou. Since Wei Su first came to the capital three years ago, he met Lou Guojun at the welcome banquet, and he didn't see him again until today.Compared with three years ago, Lou Guojun is already looking older.

When Young Master Huai saw Wei Su, he stopped talking and straightened his robes.Wei Su didn't even look at him, and went directly to salute Lou Guojun.

Lou Guojun was very happy today. Seeing Wei Su, he asked a few questions about government affairs and tea trees, and Wei Su answered them all seriously.

Lou Guojun was very satisfied, but the son Huai next to him scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.He was still waiting to talk about the serious business, but why did Your Majesty start talking about other things instead? Aren't these things that can be played at any time?What are you talking about at this time?

Fortunately, Lou Guojun also knew the eagerness of the young master, so he changed the subject after asking a few words, "Mr. Wei, do you know why I called you into the palace today?"

Wei Su smiled lightly, and said: "On the way here, I heard Wang Ziji mention it, saying it was about giving up my sister, I wonder if it is?"

Lou Guojun glanced at Wang Ziji, but Wang Ziji curled his lips and didn't take this matter to heart at all.Lou Guojun laughed, "Since Mr. Wei already knows about it, I don't need to go around the bush. Young Master Huai wants to marry a daughter of the Wei family, and I ask the widow to order a marriage. I don't know what the master will do?"

Wei Su looked at Young Master Huai upon hearing this, "I have a question to ask Young Master Huai. I wonder when Young Master Huai met his sister?" Young Master Huai suddenly proposed a marriage proposal, and it seemed that it was not a sudden whim.If he hadn't met Wei Zhen, he wouldn't have thought so much about it, trying every means to get this marriage.

Young Master Huai didn't mean to hide it, "I was fortunate enough to see a girl from the Wei family who was righteous in saving people in North Street, and I was moved by her demeanor. After returning home, I was thinking about tea and food. If I can marry this girl, I will be happy in this life." It’s all in vain.” He said it sincerely, with a great determination not to give up until he achieves his goal.

Wei Su frowned when he heard that, so he was seen by this person when he saved someone, so he missed it?

Lou Guojun was very interested, so he inquired about it, and Young Master Huai naturally told the story of saving people on Weizhen Street honestly.

Lou Guojun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he grinded his beard and said, "I didn't expect that the Wei family's daughter is also a strange woman."

Wang Ziji said: "I don't even look at who it is, she is also Mr. Wei's younger sister, of course she is different. But cousin, in my opinion, you are not a good match for the daughter of the Wei family, so don't wishful thinking , ruined their reputation."

"Hmph! I'm also a nobleman of a family, the son of Princess Lou, the Duke of Shangqing. How can Wang Ziji talk nonsense about whether he is worthy or not?" Young Master Huai snorted coldly, wishing to tear Wang Ziji apart. .

Wang Ziji sighed one after another: "It's just because I had a good pregnancy, so I'm embarrassed to say it. The corpse is a vegetarian, so don't embarrass yourself by showing it."

"Shut up, if you talk too much, go back and ground your feet. You will never come out." Lou Guojun shouted, this son is getting more and more stupid, and he is really disappointed.How could he be allowed to mess around on an occasion like today?

However, Wang Ziji was determined to stir up the muddy water and let the young master's dream come to naught.He didn't hesitate to fight Lou Guojun with his neck, "Father, you can't wait to see my son, right? Then why did you let me come back from Yingyang? Why don't you just let me be free from the smog in this palace?" .”

Lou Guojun's beard was straightened by his anger, and he really shouldn't be allowed to come back. This bastard is now more and more aware of how to anger him.

Wang Ziji didn't care, "Did the father regret it? It's not too late to send my son and minister to another country as a hostage."

"Okay, very well, since you say so, then you go..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Su hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, calm down, Wang Ziji didn't mean that. He was just young and energetic, and he said what he said without choice, not what he meant."

Knowing Wang Ziji's intentions, in order to help himself, he did not hesitate to oppose the monarch.This moved Wei Su a little, no matter what in the future, as long as he is willing, he will do his best to help him escape from Lou Guocai.

The young master smiled maliciously. The prince Jiyue played around in front of Lou Guojun and provoked the dislike of the king, so they had a better chance of winning.However, he understood the principle of accepting as soon as he sees something good, and he also persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, today is my happy day to propose marriage, there is no need to go to war over such a trivial matter."

Having said all this, Lou Guojun finally calmed down a bit.Wei Su gave Wang Ziji a wink, telling him not to be impulsive.

Only then did Wang Ziji turn his face away, and was so depressed that he stopped talking.In his mind, he recalled what Wei Su had said in the carriage before, his father blatantly favored him, let him know that there is really no other way now.Perhaps only what Mr. Wei said can lead to a way out. As for the identity of the prince, heh!He really didn't care.

Without Wang Ziji making trouble, Lou Guojun brought up the topic just now, "Mr. Wei, if you agree, the widow will order a marriage to make a good story come true?"

Wei Su arched his hands and said, "Marriage is an important matter, I think I should ask my sister to see what she thinks."

Young Master Huai was very unhappy with Wei Su's evasive words, and his willingness to marry a Wei family daughter is also to give you Wei Su face.If Wei Su didn't agree straight away, then he didn't know what's good and what's wrong.Then he interjected: "Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Mr. Wei's eldest brother is like a father, naturally it is up to you to decide."

Wei Su looked at him, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said: "That's not okay, it means that your young master has met the little girl. If the two have never met, they will make a marriage and marry blindly. , if the opponent lacks arms and short legs, wouldn’t he just accept his fate?”

Seeing that Wei Su wanted to refuse, the smile on Lou Guojun's face disappeared, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes.He wanted to win Wei Su over completely and do his best for the country of Lou, but if Wei Su didn't accept it and had a second heart, then he had to carefully consider whether he should stay or not.

Wei Su had been secretly paying attention to Lou Guojun's expression for a long time, and what he said just now was just a test.Sure enough, the fleeting murderous look in Lou Guojun's eyes made Wei Su a little worried.

But in an instant, he understood Lou Guojun's thoughts.If he can't be tied to the boat of Lou State, then he will inevitably become a serious problem and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

And the matter of Young Master Huai's marriage proposal was exactly the method Lou Guojun used to test his mind.Through the marriage, it is actually Wei Su who controls him.It seems that I can't refuse this matter clearly, so I can only implement it according to the previous decision. If this matter can be delayed for a period of time, they will have enough time to escape from Lou country.

Wang Ziji couldn't bear it anymore, and muttered in a voice that everyone could hear: "When Mr. Wei entered the Lou Kingdom, there was Prince Qi of Bei who proposed marriage. No matter what his prince Qi is, he is in line with Mr. Wei's selection criteria. If it were me, I would agree to Prince Qi instead of Young Master Huai."

The young master was afraid that Wei Su would use this matter to shirk him, so he smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Wei didn't agree to the marriage right away. That is to say, the daughter of the Wei family has not married yet, so I have a chance?"

Wei Su had already made up his mind, and immediately said with a smile: "That's true, in fact, my elder brother is not competent. Just to choose a unique and good family for my sister, I have dragged my sister's life-long affairs until now. Now the son is pregnant. It's good to have a good family and a family, so what else can I not agree to?"

Hearing Wei Su's release, the young master was overjoyed, but Wang Ziji was surprised and didn't say anything.

"That would be great!" Young Master Huai rubbed his hands, thinking that he would soon marry a Wei family daughter, he was very excited.He said happily: "It's just a matter of time to ask for your order. I will marry your sister when I wait for an auspicious day."

"but……"

"But what?"

"I'm ashamed to say that my younger sister is past the age of marriage. As an older brother, I'm so busy that I don't have time to help her with the dowry. It's my elder brother who has neglected his duties." Wei Su looked ashamed and felt very guilty in his heart.

Both Lou Guojun and Young Master Huai were taken aback.Lou Guojun thought that after he came to Lou State, he accepted the appointment as a little Situ, and he had been running around in the suburbs outside the city.They even seldom return home, and live directly in the government office for dozens of days and half a month. Just ask the officials in the court, how many can do it?

Thinking of this, Lou Guojun's face turned pale, and he heard Wei Su say: "Fortunately, Mr. Meng will not give up, this is also the blessing of my sister. I am only this relative now, so I naturally want to give her the best. It's a major event in her life, so naturally she can't rush it."

Everyone nodded, but Wei Su suddenly knelt down and said, "I have something to ask the king here."

Lou Guojun said in astonishment: "Mr. Wei, there is no need to be like this. If you have any request, just say it. If it is not against the law, the widow can agree."

Wei Su made a look of gratitude, and after a deep bow, he stood up and said, "First, I want to resign from my position as a young Situ. My sister is about to get married, and I want to take advantage of these days to spend time with her. Carefully prepare the dowry for her, and let her get married in a good manner. The second is to ask the king to grant the marriage after March, so that we can prepare for it, so that my sister can marry without regret. Please allow your Majesty to do so."

Lou Guojun frowned, it's just that his sister is getting married, so what's the use of asking for resignation?Situ Wei Su did a good job, but suddenly resigned, so who will take over this position?As for the marriage after three months, it doesn't matter, and it's not impossible to give them time to prepare.

Wei Su gave Wang Ziji a wink indiscriminately, and the latter immediately understood.It's just that Wang Ziji couldn't help muttering in his heart: If you procrastinate, just procrastinate, why resign?Although he didn't understand Wei Su's intentions, he had already made up his mind to help, so he didn't care about 21, and just followed what Mr. said.

Wang Ziji immediately stood up, "Mr. Wei values ​​love and righteousness, brother and sister love each other deeply, and Ji is really envious. It's a pity that Ji grew up in the palace, and he has never experienced such a friendship. It is really rare. It is not difficult. What you do is not against common sense, why didn't your father agree to it?"

Lou Guojun glared at him, knowing that what Wang Ziji said was true, he turned his head and asked Young Master Huai, "What do you think?" After all, Young Master Huai is the person involved, so it's better to ask his opinion.

Young Master Huai didn't expect that Wei Su would readily agree to this matter, so he asked Lou Guojun to come out to put pressure on Wei Su. Unexpectedly, Wei Su agreed to this marriage.After hearing Wei Su say that it would take three months, he also murmured in his heart.But three months is just three months, and the time is not too long. As long as Wei Su nods, this relative will definitely not be able to escape.

Moreover, Wei Su said that he would resign from little Situ and concentrate on preparing the dowry for his younger sister, which shows that Wei Su attaches great importance to this matter.Although Young Master Huai hoped that the sooner the better, Wei Su's request was not unacceptable to him.

Wei Su's resignation from the post of Little Situ just happened to be a good time for him to discuss with Wang Ziyi, and no matter what, he had to fill the position himself.In the past, the little Situ was avoided by everyone, but now, there is a big connection here. Among other things, it is a barren mountain where tea trees are planted, and there are many articles that can be done in it.Therefore, as long as this position is vacant, there will definitely be many people who will fight for it.

Thinking of this, Young Master Huai said: "But it's up to the emperor to make the decision."

Lou Guojun nodded, "Forget it, since Mr. Wei's brother and sister have a deep friendship, this little matter should be left to Mr. Wei. Wei Qing, after you finish your sister's marriage, the widow will promote you to the court as an official." .”

What he said clearly meant to compensate Wei Su and give him a promotion.Wei Su sneered in his heart, after all, it was only for his own benefit.

On his face, he was sincere and fearful, and refused: "Su's ability is limited, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on a big responsibility."

"Wei Qing, don't underestimate yourself. You see, you little Situ has done a good job. You have to try something to know if you are competent." Lou Guojun waved his hand and said involuntarily: "That's the decision."

Wei Su thanked Lou Guojun, and the matter was settled, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least it could be delayed for three months, which was enough.
