The most unlucky crossing in history

When Xie Cheng saw the boxes and carts of "meeting gifts" in the back garden, his complexion instantly became ugly.

There are several carts of mink fur, Kesi, silk and satin, etc., nearly [-] horses. …

Doucai flower plates, black wood and gold inlaid jade chopsticks, sapphire pen and ink boxes, white jade pen holders, Han jade chimes, etc. There are about [-] pieces of utensils...

The rest of the gold wares, jade wares, and precious stone utensils... are rare objects from all over the country or from foreign countries. They are extremely exquisite and gorgeous, which are really rare and dazzling.

It was even more shocking that Mrs. Xie and the servants at home froze in place when they saw these objects.

And Xie Chengban kept his face straight, and it took a long time to look at Zhong Qiyun who was in front of him with proper etiquette and bowed to meet him, and began to scrutinize him carefully.

Speaking of which, I have heard the name Zhong Qiyun countless times, but it is indeed the first time I have met someone. He looks handsome and upright. Although he is a merchant, he does not have the usual cunning of a merchant. On the contrary, he is upright and will not be annoying. .

but......

Xie Cheng thought of Xie Wenzhuo's return from the palace earlier, he hesitated for a long time, and then hesitantly told him what happened in the court.

Although Yaozi only repeated Zhong Qiyun's words, Jing didn't mention who the person Zhong Qiyun said was asking for a marriage, but how could Xie Cheng not know?Other than Xie Wenyuan, there will be others,

But Zi is really daring to act recklessly, even in vain Gu Lunchang let the emperor give him a marriage, with such an idea!How dare he fail to deliver the dowry now? !

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng really couldn't think of anything better. When he spoke, his voice was full of coldness. He could only hear him snorting, glanced at the objects in the garden, and said, "These... don't know the clock What do you mean, boss?"

Although Xie Cheng could no longer stand, he had been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and his whole body was full of murderous aura. Even if he could only sit on a four-wheeled vehicle now, he couldn't hide his frightening aura.But Zhong Qiyun saw that his face still remained unchanged, and replied respectfully with a smile: "The junior Zhong Qiyun admires the old general, the old lady, and the general who came to the general's mansion for the first time. I found some at home."

Hearing Zhong Qiyun's words, Xie Cheng was taken aback. He thought that Zhong Qiyun would say something brazen about wanting to marry the Xie family and the eldest son of his family, but he didn't know that Zhong Qiyun didn't mention Xie Wenyuan or marriage. One thing, but now they still say that these things are just "meeting gifts" for the meeting?

But there is no "meeting ceremony"

Is it this amount?Moreover, although those jades, gold and silver are small, they are all of great value. As far as he knows, many big families in the court more or less used large pieces of furniture when they hired them. With a row of noodles, how could it be possible for Zhong Qiyun to come up with so many treasures full of real things?

But now Zhong Qiyun said that these five large cars and twenty boxes of treasures were just a meeting gift?

Originally, if Zhong Qiyun dared to say "propose" in front of him now, he would have an excuse to kick this raving kid out of the house, but Zhong Qiyun only said that he came to visit because he admired him... After all Zhong Qiyun has never said those crazy words in front of him, and he has never named Xie Wenyuan even in the court. These things are just because he knows them in private that he is so angry. May say.

Suddenly, Xie Cheng felt more and more depressed.He is not good at words, and he doesn't know what to say right now. He took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Qiyun angrily, and said: "Boss Zhong's meeting ceremony is too precious. Although Xie has already retired But these priceless treasures are absolutely unacceptable, please ask Boss Zhong to take them back."

"How can these count as a lot? Not too much, the general may not know how much respect Zhong has for you and the general. If it weren't for you and the general for decades, how could we common people get What's more, these meeting gifts are not only given by someone Zhong, there are tens of thousands of people working in Zhong's caravan, fleet, and Chengfeng post everywhere, and everyone is very grateful to the general. , I represent the tens of thousands of people in the entire Zhong family, and the thanks of tens of thousands of people, how can these count as much?"

Xie Cheng's throat choked when he heard that, how could he have thought that Zhong Qiyun would be so eloquent, and it took him a long time to say bluntly: "Defending the family and the country is the duty of the soldiers, and the victory in the war is not the result of me alone, it is the thousands of soldiers. If the Zhong family wants to thank you for your achievements, then go to the Northwest Army, and I don’t need it here..."

"The army will naturally thank you, and the general must not forget this place," Zhong Qiyun bowed to Xie Cheng and said: "Whether the general likes these things or not, Zhong will not take them away today. What I want to thank is the General's Mansion, if the General feels that it should be handed over to the imperial court, then it is up to you to dispose of it."

"you!"

Xie Cheng was even more annoyed, and was about to curse, but suddenly Zhong Qiyun said again: "General, I know

You will be annoyed, but I’m just a businessman, apart from these items, I don’t know what else to show my heart, Zhong Mou attaches as much importance to today’s meeting as I want to give, just to let you know, Zhong Mou Everything done is well thought out and not child's play. "

This is a pun, and those who don't understand the inside story will only think that he is trying to show respect, but those who know his relationship with Xie Wenyuan will know that he is indirectly telling Xie Cheng that he, Zhong Qiyun, attaches great importance to it. Xie Wenyuan.

Whether it's meeting his family this time, or going to the Northwest despite all difficulties in the past...

Xie Cheng was suddenly speechless, not because he didn't know Zhong Qiyun's feelings for his eldest son, but because he witnessed this person's fearless life and death for Xie Wenyuan...

If Zhong Qiyun were a woman, he would think it would be a good marriage, but...

Xie Wenyuan, who had never said a word, looked at Zhong Qiyun in front of him, and then slowly said to Xie Cheng: "I invited Brother Zhong to come here as a guest today, and these things... there is no need to accept them." hinder."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Changchang let out a long sigh. After all these years, he and Xie Wenyuan still had a estrangement. As for the matter with Zhong Qiyun, if Xie Wenyuan didn't say a word to him and waited until the emperor decreed to grant the marriage, he There was nothing he could do about it, in the final analysis, Zhong Qiyun was allowed to come because his eldest son cared about his father and still respected him in his heart.

"That's all, since I came here at the invitation of Shu, what can I say?" Xie Cheng looked at Zhong Qiyun and said, "Boss Zhong, today is my Xie family's family banquet. If you don't mind, then let's eat together." How about a light meal?"

Zhong Qiyun said happily after hearing this: "Then respect is worse than obedience!"

Xie Cheng waved his hand, didn't say any more, just asked the servants to put all the things into the warehouse, and then asked his wife to push the four-wheeled cart to turn around and go to the dining hall.

Xie Wenyuan naturally took a few steps down and walked to Zhong Qiyun's side, "Then, can Brother Zhong come with me for dinner?"

Seeing that no one was looking around, Zhong Qiyun quickly leaned over and kissed Xie Wenyuan's cheek, and said with a smile, "Then please trouble Wenyuan."

Seeing him like this, Xie Wenyuan still couldn't help laughing, thinking of those "meeting ceremony" just now, and Xie Cheng's appearance of being angry but unable to explode, he raised his brows slightly, and said: "Did you do it on purpose? "

Taking so many "meeting gifts" on purpose, testing Xie Cheng's anger, deliberately not explaining the matter between him and Xie Wenyuan, and even deliberately

In front of Xie Wenzhuo in the court hall, he told about the marriage gift...

He guessed that Xie Wenzhuo would briefly explain the affairs of the court to Xie Cheng, so that Xie Cheng's anger could be dissipated early, and during this period, Xie Cheng would not come with a "meeting gift" comparable to a betrothal gift, so that Xie Cheng would have nothing to do. There is nothing to say.

Knowing that Xie Wenyuan saw through it, Zhong Qiyun joked: "Didn't Zhong know that he couldn't stand Old General Xie's stick, so he came up with this strategy?"

"Oh? Was it because he was afraid of suffering from the stick?"

"Hey, no, no, I'm joking. In fact, I would be very happy to let the old general beat him a few times to get him to agree, but I just know it's impossible. After all, this thing is really shocking. I thought If I can express my thoughts clearly through the mouth of others, it would be good for the old general to be prepared first, and then I will slowly explain the matter clearly, maybe the old general will be able to accept it slowly. It will be subtle." Speaking of this, Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan with a smile: "Furthermore, I sent so many things here today as a foreshadowing, and the old general should be able to accept it when the dowry gift comes next time."

Xie Wenyuan squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "Bowage gift? Do you mean that you are going to marry me?"

Zhong Qiyun blinked, and said: "Yes, ah, by the way, if Wen Yuan doesn't like it, it's called a dowry, and it's the same when Zhong is married."

After all, Xie Wenyuan was still amused and laughed out loud, causing the servants in the mansion to look sideways in surprise.
