Gao Xiuer proposed to resolve Geng Tie's matter. It was Liu Ziqiu's family matter. Wei Zheng naturally didn't want to interfere and immediately kept silent. In fact, in his heart, he hoped to promote this marriage. After all, no one can replace the Xie family's position in Jiangnan.
I believe that it is Liu Ziqiu's wish to have a good relationship with the Xie family again, and marriage is indeed the best way to close the relationship. But the ancients could have three wives and four concubines, but there was only one eldest wife. Will the daughter of the Xie family be willing to give it to Liu Ziqiu?
Being a concubine is hard to say.
Li Jing and Hua Yun are both Liu Ziqiu's sworn brothers, and they can also be regarded as half of Liu Ziqiu's family. Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Since the second brother accepted the Geng Tie, it means that he intends to form this marriage, but he can't leave
I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid I haven't made proper arrangements for a while. In that case, let's take advantage of the New Year to send the betrothal gift."
Hua Yun said flatly: "No!"
Li Jing was surprised and said: "Why not?"
Hua Yun shook his head like a rattle: "I won't do it if I say no!"
Gao Xiuer waved her hand and said: "The Nu family agrees with the eldest brother's opinion and sends the betrothal gift first. However, the Xie family may not know about Zi Qiu and the Nu family. The Nu family thinks that it is better not to tell the truth for the time being. Wait until Zi Qiu is settled.
It’s such a big deal, I’m sure the Xie family won’t regret it.”
Wei Zheng secretly praised that this young mistress really understood the righteousness and knew the priorities.
Hua Yun became anxious: "Sister-in-law, you can't..."
But Gao Xiuer smiled and said, "Brother Huayun, don't worry. I will talk to Ziqiu about your matter."
Hua Yun blushed: "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant!"
…
After Xie Wengshan learned that Liu Ziqiu was not dead, but had taken control of the entire Hexi counties, he regretted it very much. However, as the head of the most promising clan in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Wengshan couldn't shame it and took the initiative to go to Changshan Village to make peace. At this moment, he heard
When he heard that someone from Changshan Village had come, Xie Wengshan was very happy and received the visitor personally.
The person sent by Changshan Village was Han Shi'er. Han Shi'er was a general, and he served as a general for a period of time. He treated people with extraordinary magnanimity, and now he has fully integrated into Changshan Village. Xie Wengshan did not expect that Changshan Village would still have such hidden people.
The man was secretly surprised and thought highly of Changshan Village. The gift sent by Han Shi'er surprised him even more. There was actually a pair of wild geese in it.
Wild geese are a rather special gift. The ancients paid attention to six rites in the process from the marriage proposal to the marriage, namely, accepting the gift, asking for the name, accepting the gift, accepting the invitation, asking for an appointment, and personally welcoming. In addition to accepting the invitation, the other five rituals must be
Wild geese are used. Wild geese are migratory birds. After autumn comes spring, they are punctual and never break their promises. In addition, during the migration of wild geese, the old and strong are at the forefront, while the young and weak follow behind and never cross. There is also a certain custom in using wild geese as betrothal gifts.
means orderly.
Since there are geese, it is obviously a betrothal gift. In addition to the geese, other gifts are also very valuable, including eight pieces of silk and satin, eight boxes of jewelry, and eight pieces of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Naturally, the Xie family does not care about these things, but a small Changshan Village
Being able to produce such exquisite jewelry was enough to impress Xie Wengshan. However, thinking that Liu Ziqiu had done great things in the west, Xie Wengshan felt relieved.
Because there were wild geese inside, Xie Wengshan could not accept the gift immediately. He raised his hand and asked, "What does Mr. Han mean by this?"
Han Shi'e smiled and said: "My lord brought a letter back from the west. He said that he would know as soon as he asked Mr. Xie."
Xie Wengshan has actually retreated behind the scenes. If it hadn't been for the recent turmoil in the world, he would not have shown up easily. The publicly known master of the Xie family is now Xie Yun. In fact, Xie Wengshan knew that Xie Yun handed Xie Muyu's posthumous invitation to Liu Ziqiu.
He blamed Liu Ziqiu for not responding for so long and causing his beloved granddaughter to become a monk, so he pretended not to know.
Xie Yun was a little embarrassed at the side and said: "Mr. Han, that happened a year ago. Now something unexpected has happened. I'm afraid this matter, alas!"
Xie Yun was also very painful when his daughter became a nun, but such a family scandal should not be publicized.
Han Shi'er's expression changed and he said: "Could it be that you blame my lord for being late? I'd like to teach Mr. Xie that he learned that my lord had already prepared the betrothal gift, but was suddenly summoned to go to war. It was a near-death situation. My lord has a kind heart.
, I couldn’t bear to hurt the lady, so I have delayed it till now.”
Xie Yun hurriedly said: "Master Han misunderstood. Mr. Liu did this. Xie was too late to be grateful, so why should he blame him?"
Han Shi'e sneered and said, "I have no intention of blaming you, but you are unwilling to accept my lord's betrothal gift. Could it be that the Xie family would marry one daughter to another?"
Xie Wengshan and his son's faces were green and white. If Xie Muyu hadn't cut off his hair, wouldn't they have married one woman to another? Thinking of this, Xie Wengshan sighed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will accept the betrothal gift."
That is, I will give Mr. Liu an explanation."
Xie Yun was anxious at the beginning and gave his daughter's Geng Tie to Liu Ziqiu early. However, because Liu Ziqiu also knew Xie Muyu's name and the two parties had met, the procedure of asking for names was avoided, and Najib was exempted from the procedure.
It's just that although Xie Muyu is a prostitute, she has her own opinions. Last time, Xie Zhiwu told her the news about Liu Ziqiu, as well as the green salt and self-defense knife sent by Liu Ziqiu, but she still refused to return to secular life. Now she wants to persuade her daughter to get married.
But it is not an easy task. Xie Wengshan also had the same idea. He was already secretly thinking about which other daughter of the right age in the Xie family could replace Xie Muyu in marriage.
There was also Han Shi'er, an outsider present, and Xie Zhiwen was so flustered, which was completely different from his usual style. Xie Yun couldn't help but scolded: "Why are you panicking!"
Only then did Xie Zhiwen see Han Shi'er, but he stopped talking.
Xie Wengshan wanted to restore relations with Changshan Village, so he nodded and said, "Zhiwen, this is Young Master Han from Changshan Village. If you have anything to hide from him, you don't have to hide anything from him. Just tell him."
Han Shi'er's face moved slightly, he stood up and said, "Thank you, old man. Han, please avoid it."
However, a strange look appeared on Xie Zhiwen's face. He bowed to Han Shi'er and said, "Master Han, please stay." Then he said to Xie Wengshan, "Grandpa, father, Wang Shiyun sent someone again and still proposed to negotiate with Xie Wengshan.
I thanked the family for getting married and said that even if my little sister becomes a nun, he will marry her back. Moreover, the person he sent this time is from Changshan Village!"
Xie Wengshan was shocked and said: "What do you mean by Changshan Village?"
Han Shi'er didn't know that the little girl Xie Zhiwen mentioned was Xie Muyu in the Geng Tie, but he did know that Wang Shichong was the overlord of the separatist party in Jiangdu, and that Liu Ziqiu specifically mentioned several objects that needed to be guarded against in the secret letter sent from Weiding City.
1. So when he heard that the person sent by Wang Shichong was actually someone from Changshan Village, Han Shi'er was also stunned, but he quickly determined that the person was a fake and pretended to be a fake. He couldn't help but smile and said: "We from Changshan Village have nothing to do with Wang Shichong.
Han can guarantee this."
But Xie Zhiwen smiled and said: "No! That person is known to Xie. He must be from Changshan Village. But he is Mr. Han, whom Xie has never seen before."
Xie Wengshan waved his hand and said: "Zhiwen, please don't be rude! Mr. Han must be from Changshan Village, there is no doubt about this!"
Xie Yun had already experienced the Geng Tie just now, and it was indeed correct. I believe that Liu Ziqiu would not lose something as important as the Geng Tie. Even if it was picked up by someone, he would not dare to take the risk of coming to Xie's house to deceive his bride. Because in the end, only the one who welcomed him
It could be Liu Ziqiu himself, and the Xie family had all met Liu Ziqiu, but they couldn't pretend to be him.
Xie Yun waved his hand and said: "Go and invite Wang Shichong's people in so that Mr. Han will know the truth as soon as he sees them!"
Xie Zhiwen turned around and walked out. After a while, he brought in a young master. The young master was slightly startled when he saw Han Shi'e, and then sneered: "Han Shi'e, why are you here? We are really enemies of each other!"
Han Shi'e said in a deep voice: "Xiao Dapeng, Mr. Wei sent people everywhere to look for you, but you voted for Wang Shichong! Is this worthy of Changshan Village?"
Xiao Dapeng laughed loudly and said: "Han Shi'er, who do you think you are? You dare to teach Xiao a lesson? To tell you the truth, you will regret it sooner or later! Moreover, Changshan Village belongs to our Xiao family, and Xiao will sooner or later want to belong to our Xiao family."
Get your stuff back!"
It is true that the original Changshan Village was the property of the Xiao family, but in fact, today's Changshan Village is completely different. Liu Ziqiu, Gao Xiuer, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and others have put countless efforts into it. The imprint of the Xiao family has long faded.
, the villagers in Changshan Village identify more with Liu Ziqiu than with Xiao Dapeng. Xiao Dapeng is also very clear about this. What he relies on is the hope that one day Empress Dowager Xiao will be able to stabilize the country. By then, his nephew will be the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He wants to
Isn’t it easy to take back a small Changshan Village?
Han Shi'er didn't know the history of Changshan Village, but he didn't want outsiders to see the civil strife in Changshan Village, so he patiently advised: "Xiao Dapeng, you can finally go back to Changshan Village, admit your mistake to Mr. Wei, and don't do anything in this area."
The road back is getting farther and farther!”
Xiao Dapeng ignored Han Shi'er's words, turned to Xie Wengshan, cupped his hand, and said: "Thank you, old man, how have you considered Mr. Wang's matter? Don't worry, Mr. Wang will become a great man sooner or later. Your granddaughter will be guaranteed to enjoy all the glory and wealth by following Mr. Wang.
!”
Xie Yun saw Xiao Dapeng's arrogant appearance, and his attitude suddenly became firm: "Go back and tell Wang Shichong that even if Xie's daughter has not become a monk, she cannot marry him! Moreover, Xie's daughter has already married someone else.
He must give up this idea! Come and see the guests off!"
Xiao Dapeng was furious, pulled out his sword and shouted sternly: "Old man, don't be so shameless!"
