Master Mei's gaze was impartial, as if he was looking for an answer, and when he found it, he left.
And for him to mention this marriage, he probably knew that it was impossible.
This marriage had not been decided upon by the late emperor when he was still alive, but now that he mentioned it, Lu Yunhong felt that Mrs. Mei was old and a bit headstrong.
Or perhaps, Grand Master Mei will retire from office in a few years, but he is unwilling to leave the court just like that.
If it were someone else, it might really be a dilemma.
But who is Lu Yunhong?
It was he who dominated the court back then, and it was he who was persuaded by the new emperor to stay in the court when he was old. He clearly knew what Taishi Mei was worried about?
Now that the Wang family and the Lu family are powerful, Master Mei is afraid that once he leaves, there will be no officials in the court who can speak for the Mei family. By then, a generation of famous officials will eventually decline, become depressed, and not be cared about.
Lu Yunhong directly asked Taishi Mei to sit down and said slowly: "Basically, his wife and I will not interfere in Pei Shan's marriage. The main reason is that the children are older and have their own opinions."
"Miss Mei is extremely intelligent and naturally beautiful. She will definitely have a good match. Besides, Gao Xian, a student of the Grand Master, is not only a scholar, but he is also more diligent and motivated than Pei Shan."
Speaking of Gao Xian, Grand Master Mei really liked him. But his daughter didn't listen and thought Pei Shan was better, so he just came to ask, in order to make her give up.
"You also think Gao Xian is good?"
Lu Yunhong nodded, personally brought tea to Grand Master Mei, and then said: "Gao Xian was taught by Grand Master himself and has excellent conduct. In addition, he has always respected Grand Master and married a member of your noble family.
Miss, we are also junior sisters, how can we not treat each other wholeheartedly and create a good story?"
When Taishi Mei saw that Lu Yunhong had noticed his plan, he did not hide it and said bluntly: "I am old. As the saying goes, Taoists take their time off. If I have a capable son like you, why should I care about my daughter's marriage?"
?”
"I just want to help the people around me before I leave, so that I can have someone I can talk to in the court in the future."
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly to express his understanding.
But he quickly asked: "Grand Master, how is the Emperor?"
Grand Master Mei thought about it for a while and determined that Lu Yunhong was not digging a hole for him, and then said slowly: "Of course he has the world in mind and benefits all people."
Lu Yunhong asked again: "What about the prince?"
Taishi Mei said without thinking: "With a pure heart and a smart mind, I will definitely be able to lead the world and intimidate the world in the future."
Lu Yunhong said with a smile: "In this case, even if the grand master takes office now, the overall situation of the court will basically remain unchanged in twenty years. I don't know what to worry about?"
"Is it possible that the Grand Master is worried that after thirty years of reign, he will not be able to deliver even a single letter to the Emperor and the Crown Prince?"
Master Mei was stunned and thought, how could this be possible?
Yes, but if it's not possible, then what is he doing now?
The emperor and the prince were both nostalgic. Didn't Lu Yunhong sit on the position of young master after many twists and turns? But back then, when Lu Yunhong was not an official, he kept in touch with the emperor who was still the prince.
I don't know how long it took, but Mrs. Mei, who wanted to understand, sighed and said tiredly: "It seems that I am really old, and I can't see clearly as a younger generation like you."
Lu Yunhong joked: "You will get old when you get old. Who will not get old? But in this court, can there be less old people like you?"
"Besides other things, who else would be willing to be on duty during the holidays except you old guys?"
Master Mei was so angry and funny at what he said, tears flashed in his eyes, but they refused to fall.
He said to Lu Yunhong: "You are still the same as before, you are always talkative!"
"But you are right. Every year in the cold winter, we old guys are the ones who warm themselves by the fire in the check-in room and read the discounts."
Lu Yunhong said: "So, we don't want you to retire early and leave all the hard work to us. It's better for everyone to work hard together, day after day, year after year, and the peaceful and stable days will pass."
The world's peaceful days are never the result of anyone's work, but the work of everyone.
As long as someone can see this contribution, they will also be able to see all the people who have put in all their efforts for it.
After hearing this, Master Mei suddenly wanted to apologize to Lu Yunhong for his recklessness today.
And the arrogant attitude of hoping that Lu Yunhong would give an explanation.
But he couldn't tell it in the end. Maybe the mask on this old face gradually became real over time, making him feel that no matter what, he should maintain his due dignity.
The atmosphere in the room was strangely silent for a moment.
Lu Yunhong didn't speak any more because he heard footsteps.
Sure enough, someone came in soon. Because the check-in door was not closed, he saw it as soon as he walked up the steps.
It's Pei Shan.
Master Mei also saw it and was surprised why Pei Shan came.
As a result, Pei Shan didn't know what they said at all. He just bowed briefly and asked, "Master, when can you leave?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Master Mei wants to treat me to a drink. You should go back first and tell your master's wife not to wait for me to have dinner."
After hearing this, Pei Shan stopped talking.
He also heard that Master and Mistress were going to Wang's house for dinner tonight. Why didn't they go now?
If the master doesn't go, the master's wife will be angry. If the master can't coax her, they will all suffer.
Master Mei saw that Pei Shan still had something to say, so he said to Lu Yunhong: "Let's meet up another day. You and Pei Shan go back first."
Lu Yunhong said: "How embarrassing is it to leave Grand Master alone? How about Grand Master come with us to the house and let's have a drink together?"
Master Mei smiled and said, "I don't need it. My family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."
Lu Yunhong didn't force himself and immediately started clearing the desk.
Seeing this, Master Mei was about to leave. When he passed by Pei Shan, he asked: "Pei Shan, do you still remember my daughter?"
Pei Shan was confused, thinking about your daughter, who is it?
But he quickly remembered it and said quickly: "I remember."
Taifu Mei knew from his surprised and understanding expression that he did not understand his daughter and had no personal relationship with her.
He sighed helplessly. In fact, he didn't choose Gao Xian, but he chose Pei Shan for his daughter first, but Pei Shan didn't like his daughter, so he chose Gao Xian for his daughter.
Thinking this way, Master Mei felt much more at ease.
He patted Pei Shan on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Although you are still young, starting a family and starting a career is a big deal for a man. You should also ask your wife to look at each other for you and marry a well-educated and sensible lady.
.”
Pei Shan nodded numbly, wondering why Taishi Mei said this.
It wasn't until he and his master left the palace together and were about to get on the carriage that the master suddenly said: "Master Mei wants to marry his daughter to you."
Pei Shan's eyes were blank: "Ah??"
He followed his master back as if he was confused. When he arrived at the Lu Mansion, he was still thinking, why did Master Mei suddenly mention this marriage again?
At this time, Pei Shan did not know that he was now a new noble in the capital, with a clean family background, a bright future, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
Compared with Gao Xian, the number one scholar in his class, Tanhua Pei Shan's name is even more talked about.
