"Gold and pearls make my family rich, but I am always thirsty for good times, which makes me lonely. Even if I seek elegance and harmony with sincerity, a good match may not be better than red gauze." Written on a red gauze handkerchief.
In the official residence in Kaiyang City, an old man and two young men were sitting in the hall, warming wine and chatting. There was a burning charcoal fire in the middle. Outside the open door was a field of low, dry flowers and trees. The hazy sky was blowing.
The wind was cold and the clouds were so low that they seemed to reach the eaves.
The cold wind was blowing, and the three of them hugged the charcoal fire to keep warm, but they refused to let anyone close the door. This was because someone who knew the weather told them that it would snow today.
Although the three of them all came to wait for the snow to fall with a sense of leisure and elegance, no one really took this matter to heart.
"The road is far away and the weather is cold. It seems that we won't be able to return to Chang'an in time this year." Wang Duan, the bus driver in second place, put down his wine bowl and said with emotion: "We have been waiting for such a long time. We only hope that the journey back will go smoothly and safely."
good."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Tao Shijun and General Pingdong have already agreed that they will send troops to accompany them on this journey." Opposite Wang Duan, a man with an elegant appearance and a very graceful appearance also put down his wine bowl and said.
This man's voice is calm and soft, approachable without being flattery. Anyone who listens to it will just find it very pleasing to the ear and make people smile involuntarily. He is wearing an extremely simple dark coat with no ordinary patterns on it.
, no different from ordinary scholars, with a hint of nobility hidden in his movements.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Mi." The old man sitting at the main seat said. He looked to be in his fifties, with broad cheeks and big ears, and a rosy complexion. He was a very energetic old man.
Dahonglu was in charge of entertaining the princes and vassals, and presiding over the rituals of the court and sacrifices. It was a real idle position among the nine ministers. In terms of power, it was not even as good as that of the imperial servant. After all, the imperial servant was also in charge of the emperor's carriages, horses and horse administration.
Dahonglu is a high-ranking and low-ranking official. He is just more noble than the imperial servant. Zhou Huan does not have much power, and he is getting older. The Zhou family in Fufeng is not a high-ranking family, so he can reach Dahonglu.
I am very lucky to be in this position, so I am more open-minded about some things.
It was precisely because of Zhou Huan's uncontested temperament in the court that he used the excuse of traveling to Langxie to safely escape a political upheaval in Chang'an City.
The man smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "I'm going to leave Xuzhou. This is a matter of personal responsibility and is not worth mentioning."
The person called Mijun is naturally a native of Donghai, Xuzhou. Don't work in Mizhu. If they don't know his name, people will think of him as an ordinary scholar. But who knows that the other party has tens of thousands of child servants and a family fortune of hundreds of millions. He is one of the most famous people in Xuzhou.
There are not many wealthy businessmen.
This time, the imperial court punished Cao Cao and Tao Qian for starting a war without permission. Each of them was punished by fifty pieces. General Pingdong, Cao Cao, was issued a letter of caution and was deprived of the qualification to succeed his father, Fei Tinghou. Xuzhou Mu, General Zhendong
Because Tao Qian connived at the rebellion of his subordinate Zhang Kai and was even suspected of conspiring with Que Xuan, who claimed to be the emperor, Tao Qian was deprived of the Zhendong General Seal and remained the shepherd of Xuzhou.
In addition, due to the new death of King Langye Shun, the court should pay tens of millions of dollars in bribes and tens of thousands of pieces of cloth according to previous rules. However, the emperor did not want to pay so much money at once, so he thought of a way to ask Tao Qian to
They shared the responsibility with Cao Cao. On the surface, it said it was to collect taxes accumulated over the years, but in fact, it was the emperor's apportionment to the local area.
Xuzhou was rich and Yanzhou was poor. After much discussion, Xuzhou was still responsible for nearly 10% of the illegal money, most of which was voluntarily paid by the Mi family represented by Mi Zhu.
Throwing out millions of money at once, plus Mi Zhu generously shouldering all the expenses of Zhou Huan and others, as well as giving private money to King Langye Shun, it cost nearly 10 million, without even blinking an eye.
Suddenly. This shocked Zhou Huan and Wang Duan, who had lived in poverty for several years in Guanzhong. Mi Zhu also relied on this stepping stone worth tens of millions to become the two court angels, Zhou Huan and Wang Duan.
's guest.
"I came here today because I have a private matter, and I want to ask the king what he wants." Mi Zhu knew Wang Duan's identity. Although he was a deputy envoy, sometimes even the envoy Zhou Huan had to respect his opinions, so he announced this time
When dealing with Cao Cao and Tao Qian and mediating their grievances, Wang Duan occupied a dominant position. What's more, Wang Duan also had another relationship with the emperor, which made Mi Zhu set his sights on it from the beginning.
When it comes to Wang Duan, everything he does is for Wang Duan.
Wang Duan was a polite and mild-tempered man. Seeing Mi Zhu's serious look, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mi, just say it, it doesn't matter."
"I would like to ask, has Wang Jun ever been married?" Mi Zhu was stunned when he saw Wang Duan's real start, and smiled and said: "My sister-in-law, Mi Shi, is seventeen years old this year, and she has not found a good match yet. Although.
She is not stunningly beautiful, but she can be regarded as a pretty girl, and she is also very virtuous and courteous. If the king doesn't mind, you and I might as well consider it."
"Ah." Wang Duan suddenly blushed, and his cheeks felt as if they had been burned by the charcoal fire in the copper basin. When their family was in decline a few years ago, no one was willing to marry their daughter, not even his father Wang Bin.
He just found someone from a low-ranking family to make do with. Later, when his family became more prominent, Wang Bin somehow seemed to retaliate and rejected all the high-ranking people who came to ask for his hand in marriage. As a result, it took so long for him to get the crown, but he never agreed.
Dear, when he suddenly heard Mi Zhu talk about it this time, he felt a little at a loss what to do: "This is a bit too abrupt."
"I hope Wang Junhaihan won't blame him for the abruptness." Mi Zhu's eyes quickly glanced at Wang Duan's face, and he suddenly felt confident. He smiled gently and said, "My sister-in-law is really not that old.
When I was young, I originally thought about finding Pi Chen Yuanlong to marry me, but he couldn't stand me and other merchants." At this point, Mi Zhu's face darkened, as if he was thinking of something humiliating, and he said sadly: "Yes.
Well, if my family is not a heirloom of Confucian classics, it would be difficult for me to reach the family background of Wang Jun."
"No, no, I don't mean that." Seeing that the other party misunderstood what he meant, Wang Duan, who had always been calm and composed, felt at a loss for some reason. He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Yesterday, with other people,
The female family members are coming to express condolences to the Dowager Princess, is there your sister?"
The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother. Since the vassal kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty were far smaller and smaller than those of the Western Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother was also demoted to the Queen Mother.
Mi Zhu's heart moved, and he said: "Exactly, wearing a pale dress."
The pale color is light green, which is very conspicuous among the crowd of people wearing crimson robes.
In front of Wang Duan's eyes, the figure he had glimpsed in front of him yesterday seemed to appear. A slight palpitation gradually appeared in his heart, but he said: "My family background is not as good as that of those high-ranking families. If my sister wants to marry me, I'm afraid
