Chapter 248
"Cough cough cough" Shen Hao almost choked himself with a sip of wine. He never expected Tang Qingyuan to say such a word suddenly.
Is this to match him?
"Heh, Mr. Tang, you see, I'm so busy right now that I don't have the heart to talk. To say kiss? I appreciate your kindness." Shen Hao refused without thinking. Now that he has cultivation base, let alone not yet thirty years old, even fifty is not too late to get married, and he is in excellent health. Didn't I see that Bai Changqing was in his seventies and still planning to ask for a concubine? He is not in a hurry.
What's more, there are so many flowers in the flower house, if there is a demand, just spend some money, isn't it fragrant?
No matter how bad it is, take a trip to the dental office and find out about the custom-made slave girl?
Therefore, such energy-intensive and prudent things as "marriage" are not in Shen Hao's consideration for the time being. Moreover, Tang Qingyuan was not the first person to match him. Chen Tianwen had told him as early as when he was in Licheng. Later in Fengri City, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin also told him several times, but he rejected them all.
"Don't refuse in a hurry, it's okay to listen, right? Or are you really not going to start a family all your life?" Tang Qingyuan poured Shen Hao another cup, without any intention of stopping there.
What else can Shen Hao say? He has to give it the face of listening to it.
Seeing Shen Hao drinking, Tang Qingyuan smiled even more, and continued: "Granddaughter of Feng Wanli, the governor of the Jingnan Army, are you interested?"
"Pfft!" A little half of the wine he just drank spilled out of his mouth. Shen Hao was rude, and he couldn't believe Tang Qingyuan's words just now. "Whose granddaughter did you mention just now?"
"The granddaughter of Feng Wanli, the governor of the Jingnan Army."
"Hehe, Master Tang, are you kidding me?"
"How can I joke with you about such a lifelong event?
Feng Wanli's eldest son, Feng Chengying, is a good friend of mine. Not long ago, he wrote to say that his daughter is about to turn sixteen and has no suitable husband's family. His honor, title, ability, and literary talents are all top choices, and he wants to find out whether he can form a marriage with his daughter. How, you should know this is talking about you, right? "
Tang Qingyuan and the eldest son of Feng Wanli, the governor of the Jingnan Army, are old friends? !
"Unexpectedly, right? In fact, Feng Chengying and I have both practiced in the Guishan Seminary, and we can be regarded as fellow students. But he is luckier than me, and he successfully returned from the outer sect of the Guishan Seminary, while I was He was plotted against by others in the inner sect, and finally expelled from the mountain gate, almost crippled for life.
So in the beginning my starting point was actually higher than Feng Chengying's, but now you can see that his family background allows him to completely look down on a little deputy like me. Even I haven't contacted him for nearly twenty years.
But this time he asked me to help you find out your tone, and I still have to help. how? This is one of the most powerful people in the country, and she is the eldest granddaughter of the family, so she definitely won't treat you badly, right? Not interested? "
Tang Qingyuan actually didn't say a word, that is, if this marriage is successful, Shen Hao can save at least 20 years of struggle, and even his potential will be doubled.
And from Tang Qingyuan's point of view, Shen Hao didn't need to get married, as long as the Ming matchmaker was married.
To be honest, if this is true, it is definitely a good thing that the pie fell from the sky.
Can there be pie in the sky? Dreaming!
Tang Qingyuan saw with a smile that the expression on Shen Hao's face was stunned for a moment, then bewildered, and finally returned to normal. From the beginning to the end, he did not show the excitement or agitation of being knocked dizzy.
"Master Tang, although I haven't seen anything in the world, I know the truth of "being in the right family", so the Dudu Feng's mansion is flattered to be honest with a country boy like me."
"What do you think?"
"Forget it. You know what my nature is. If I really live with this kind of high-ranking tycoon, I'm afraid there will be no peace for three days. Besides, I really have no intention of getting married right now. Master Tang, please help me back." .”
Tang Qingyuan laughed, raised his glass and touched Shen Hao, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you really don't have the intention to climb up the pole as I expected. Hahaha, a man should be like this. Fame and fortune are all about yourself." , Relying on marriage is a way of a woman's family, it's shameless."
The sudden reversal of the subject made Shen Hao somewhat at a loss as to how to respond. Wasn't this Mr. Tang still introducing that marriage in the previous sentence? Just turned around and started to look down on the other party?
After drinking three cups in a row, Tang Qingyuan exhaled alcohol, smiled happily, and continued: "Feng Chengying and I had a festive relationship when we were young. At that time, I was in the inner sect and he was in the outer sect. He is higher than me but in the sect he is completely different from me, I am above him and below.
Perhaps out of a sense of superiority, I often provoked him at that time, so I ended up with him. Later, I had an accident in the inner sect, and he also made trouble. My family's secular property was completely destroyed by him. My father also retired and returned to his hometown early because of their relationship. In the end, if I hadn't been lucky enough to keep the last bit of talent and rely on my father's little contacts, I wouldn't even be able to enter Xuan Qingwei's door.
But I don't blame him either, I made the grudge myself, and I should swallow the bitter fruit myself. For decades, this past event has long been forgotten. But he, Feng Chengying, actually took the initiative to write me a letter to reminisce about the past, if it were you, what would be your first reaction? Something has come to your door, right?
But his Feng family's face is big enough, so I still want to help spread the word. But I'm afraid they will come to you kid if they have something to do as you think. "
Shen Hao understood. Tang Qingyuan didn't have a good impression of the Feng family, and he held back his words to help spread the word. Naturally, he would not have any good words for the Feng family after the word was passed on. Of course, if Shen Hao had shown interest in that marriage just now, Tang Qingyuan would not have said the following words, and it would probably be another talk.
Shen Hao also took the opportunity to have an in-depth chat with Tang Qingyuan. After all, the two came from Licheng, they were close to each other, and they had known each other before.
"I'm just curious, Dudu Feng is such a big man, the eldest granddaughter of their family should find a good family if she doesn't marry a relative of the emperor, right? You said they came to me for something so cheap, but I don't have anything, so what's the matter?" Worthy of their concern?"
"Hehe, the Feng family is a leader in the military. The Jingnan Army has been under their control for many years. Even though the imperial court has a rotation system, the foundation continues. The most powerful voice in the Jingnan Army cannot be changed. Their Feng family is none other than them.
However, the army has been dealt with miserably by the civil servants in recent years, and its momentum has long since disappeared. If you want to continue the glory, you must borrow external force. "
"External force? You mean they want to use Xuan Qingwei to gain momentum?"
"Yes, your reaction is fast enough."
"But, I'm just a sixth-rank hundred household official, do I need to spend so much money?"
"It might not have been possible in the past, but now the entire Jingxi civil service system has been restructured by Xuan Qingwei, and the Black Flag Battalion has played an extremely important role in this process. Your reputation, Shen Hao, is so murderous in Jingxi You don't know it yourself, do you?"
