Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1919

But the effect is really not good.

Wu Meiniang listened carefully at first, but after a while, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight.Seeing this situation, Guo Ye stopped asking for trouble.

He coughed lightly, and said: "Meiniang, what is the matter that you came to see me today?"

Chapter 1770

As soon as Guo Ye said this, Wu Meiniang's eyes turned red again, and she said: "I thought my husband didn't want us..."

"Then why? You are really worrying too much!"

Xi Bizhu was also courageous, and complained: "I think you said that you can't get married during the mother's funeral, so you let Wu sister go back to her mother's house, and you said that you will get married after three years. The result?"

She sighed and continued: "In less than two years, you have taken in five concubines from Silla, and you are not clear with Queen Seondeok of Silla. What do we sisters think?"

"Uh... I didn't deliberately deceive you. It is true that you cannot marry and take concubines during your mother's funeral. However, my mission to Silla this time is according to His Majesty's order. He asked me to try to gain the favor of Queen Sundeok of Silla... ..."

Guo Ye's voice became lower and lower, and when he reached the back, he couldn't speak anymore.

In fact, he really didn't make sense of it.

Guo Ye's mission to Silla this time, yes, he was ordered to pick up girls.But His Majesty Li Er asked him to pick up the queen of Silla, Kinderman, and it has nothing to do with others.

The reason why the censor didn't catch his braid was firstly because the rumor that he was the emperor's illegitimate son was so prevalent that most people believed it to be true.Talking to His Majesty about Guo Ye and Ding You, wouldn't that make His Majesty more difficult?

Secondly, this matter can be big or small.It's not like Guo Ye has never done Ding You's taking a concubine before.Now that Guo Ye's family is in prosperity, even if he is impeached, there may not be any actual punishment.

Another point is that Guo Ye was taken back by His Majesty Li Er.Whether you can take concubines or not is really a gray area.If it is a strong argument, Guo Ye is not unreasonable at all.

However, none of these reasons could be explained in front of Wu Meiniang.

Seeing Guo Ye's embarrassing look, Wu Meiniang stopped embarrassing him and said, "I won't mention the past. Now, Meiniang will ask you a question. Are you still willing to talk to me now?" Meiniang getting married together?"

"Yes, of course I would. Why wouldn't you want to?"

"Okay then, please come to Duke Ying's mansion to ask for marriage within a few days!"

As soon as Wu Meiniang uttered these words, Guo Ye was terrified, and said, "Please... please marry me?"

"What? You don't want to? Just now you said you were willing to marry Mei Niang, but the words still ring in your ears. Why are you going back on your word?"

Guo Ye evaded and said: "No, of course I am not repenting, but this incident was too sudden. This marriage proposal is a big event. Although we don't need three media and six certificates, we should not be hasty, and we have to think long-term. "

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "Meiniang is not urging you, I really can't wait for this matter. If you don't go to propose, Meiniang will probably marry someone else."

"Others?" Guo Ye's heart moved, and he said, "Recently, the palace is drafting girls?"

Wu Meiniang was puzzled, and said: "The draft girl? What's the matter with the draft girl?"

"Uh... I guessed wrong, you continue to talk. Who is so brave, dare to snatch me from Guo Ye!"

Xi Bizhu said: "Let's talk about this matter. Those brothers of Sister Meiniang are really worthless. After Meiniang and I went back, they not only didn't give us a penny, but they also gave us the rice we ate. , you have to buy it yourself.”

Guo Ye said: "It's nothing. Didn't I give you a sum of money? It's enough for the two of you to live comfortably for a few years. Let's not covet their three melons and two dates."

Xi Bizhu said bitterly: "It's fine if you don't make offerings to us. At most, people think they are stingy. Unexpectedly, they are all lustful evil spirits. Not only coveted slaves, but even their own sister Don't let go..."

"Ah? You won't suffer any disadvantages with your skills, right?"

"Husband still knows how to care about others? Don't worry, I beat them all away. Both of us sisters are for you... guard your body like a jade."

Speaking of the last few words, Xi Bizhu stared straight at Guo Ye with winking eyes.That way, he seemed to be expecting Guo Ye's compliment, and also seemed to be teasing the man's emotions.

Wu Meiniang is very talented in fighting for favor, seeing Xi Bizhu's appearance, she snorted softly and said: "However, now, even with Sister Bizhu around, it won't work."

"what happened?"

"Meiniang is 16 years old this year, long past the age when she should get married. My brothers saw that they couldn't take advantage of Meiniang, so they prepared to sell Meiniang."

"Sell it? No way? You are Duke Ying's biological daughter. How could they have such courage?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Since the death of my lord father, they have the final say in the family, why not dare? Of course, it is not accurate to say that selling is not accurate. They let out the word that whoever gives the high dowry will marry the concubine. who."

Xi Bizhu said: "Not only that, they also said that they want my slave's family to be the dowry of Mei Niang's younger sister. Marry a rich lady, and get a beautiful maid. Buy one get one free, and now Chang'an City is buzzing. I'm afraid it won't be a few days, Mei Niang The marriage between mother and sister is about to be settled."

Wu Meiniang sighed quietly, and said: "Women should pay attention to three obediences and four virtues. Now Meiniang's father died early, and her eldest brother is his father. He wants to marry Meiniang, and Meiniang has no reason to disobey."

Wu Meiniang continued: "Because you said at the time that concubines are not allowed during the mother's funeral, so the concubine did not dare to publicly announce her engagement with you, for fear of causing trouble to you. Now that I have reached this point, I have to take the initiative to come here." See you."

Xi Bizhu said: "So, you'd better go to Ying Guogong's mansion to propose marriage!"

Guo Ye was really in a dilemma at this time.

Don't go to Ying Guogong's mansion to ask for a marriage. With such a beautiful woman, the next generation of queens will marry someone else.For this result, he was really not reconciled.

Go to the British government to propose, then his marriage with Wu Meiniang will be a certainty.With Wu Meiniang's current situation, I am afraid that in a few months, she will be married back home.

Guo Ye has no confidence in whether he can subdue Wu Meiniang and keep his house safe.

After going round and round, and back to the old road, can I marry Wu Meiniang without bringing her into the mansion?

Guo Ye's thoughts changed sharply, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, there is it!

He said, "Meiniang, let me ask you a question."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Are you willing to be a concubine because of the grievances of the Duke's daughter, or to be a good-looking wife?"

Wu Meiniang didn't like his tricks, and said: "I am willing to be a concubine!"

"Uh..." This sentence blocked Guo Ye's well-thought-out words, so he could only ask: "Why?"

"Isn't this obvious? Sister Shanhua regards the princess as the supreme, and she has to be your concubine. How can I, Wu Meiniang, want to be above her? Besides, no matter how arrogant Meiniang is, she won't think that there is something wrong with her." The ability can make you stop your wife and marry another, so..."

Wu Meiniang sighed, and said: "So, if I choose to be a regular wife, I'm afraid you will point it out to someone else. I'm going to marry an upstanding man, and I'd rather be your concubine than a concubine. The wife of a mediocre man."

Guo Ye said: "You guessed half right and half wrong."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, the legal wife I'm talking about is really my own legal wife. But, of course, you can't act in the name of Mrs. Qin Guogong."

"The more you talk, the more confused I become."

"It's a long story..."

Guo Ye first told Wu Meiniang about his grievances with the five great noble families.Later, it talked about the dispute between glassware and glassware.
