Chapter 886

Seeing the old general return to the mansion, Wei Lanzhi asked anxiously: "Father! How is it? Has Your Majesty let me stay in the capital?"

The old general shook his head regretfully, his expression became a little stiff.

Wei Bao and Wei Hu were trembling with anger and couldn't help cursing the emperor secretly.

Since Wei Lanzhi was born in the General Zhenguo's Mansion, from the old general to the elder brothers, they have always loved her as a treasure in their hands, because Wei Lanzhi is the old general's son and the only direct daughter, so the old general loves her too much No principle!
The old general couldn't help pointing out: "Lanzhi! You should also restrain yourself, don't lose your temper and be jealous outside! Father has warned you a long time ago, that purple-clothed Hou Kong is beautiful, and he is a rascal who is rich and jaded. Disciple! Why do you insist on mixing with him?"

Back then, he made the decision, rejected Zi Yihou's marriage proposal, and insisted on recruiting a wife for Wei Lanzhi. He recruited Liang Dong, who had just passed the Jinshi examination and came from a poor family, to be his son-in-law.

It was because he doted on his only daughter too much, and he didn't want her to marry into someone else's family to serve her parents-in-law and her husband, so she couldn't control her own freedom.

Liang Dong has a weak personality and is a bit resigned.

In the eyes of the old general, he is very suitable to be Wei Lanzhi's husband, he can tolerate her and give her enough sense of security.

Although Liang Dong is not as manly as Zi Yihou, and his official position is not high, and his status is a bit low, but this kind of man is easier to grasp and control!
Is not it?
Faced with the old general's earnest instruction, Wei Lanzhi's eyes turned red suddenly, and Lihua burst into tears: "Father! Are you blaming me? Blame me for not listening to you, not being with that wimpy Liang Dong as you wanted Life?"

Liang Dong was the old general's choice.

It's not what she likes, and it's not the type she likes.

The old general remembered the emperor's will. The emperor had personally decided to cancel the marriage relationship between Liang Dong and Wei Lanzhi.

In the future, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road. The two will no longer have any disputes.

And Wei Lanzhi's daughter, Ling Xiao, will take her father's surname from now on, and has nothing to do with her!
The old general smiled wryly, with melancholy in his eyes: "Lanzhi, you haven't been very obedient since you were a child, but Dad doesn't want to blame you, and he doesn't want to stop you!"

Wei Lanzhi shed tears on his own, while Wei Bao, Wei Hu and others listened quietly, like well-behaved quails.

The old general had accumulated prestige for a long time, and the Wei family developed step by step from him, becoming a well-known military general in the capital, and becoming the emperor's confidant!

But now, because of Wei Lanzhi's incidents, the emperor no longer cares about him anymore. Today, the old general went to the palace to intercede for Wei Lanzhi, but the emperor pushed him back!

In the final analysis, it was Wei Lanzhi who caused trouble and was caught by the emperor!
On the side of the couch, how can the tiger be allowed to sleep soundly?
The power tactics of the emperors of the past dynasties are to reduce the military power in the hands of generals. They are only willing to use their own confidantes, and they will never hand over the most important position to a courtier who is against them.

Could it be that the Zhen Guo General's Mansion is going to be destroyed on a mere love word?
Thinking of this, the old general couldn't bear to punish his only daughter, so he smiled and said, "Go to Raoyue Nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing obediently, and your elder brothers and I will visit you regularly and send you supplies and various things , what do you want, just tell dad!"

Although the old general doted on her, he also understood the principle of burning oil with fire.

Now the emperor has become wary of him!He is not indispensable on the battlefield!
It is said that the rising star Yu Wenhao is Zhao Ji's confidant general who has just been hired. Zhao Ji even has a plan to let Yu Wenhao lead troops to fight in the west.

And Wei Bao and Wei Hu are young generals who lack leadership and military merit. If they offend the emperor because of Wei Lanzhi, then Wei Bao and others' careers will be ruined!

It is very likely that it will be destroyed once, and the General's Mansion will never recover from a setback, and there will be no chance to climb up!

The old general can only appease Wei Lanzhi temporarily, don't fight against the emperor, let alone let the emperor fail to come to Taiwan, and make Zhao Ji hate the general's mansion in the future.

Wei Lanzhi was so angry that the tears flowed more and more fiercely.

"Father! I don't want to leave the capital! I don't want to go!"

It's a pity, in order to balance the future and interests of the general's mansion and his sons, the old general still had a hard-hearted heart. Regardless of Wei Lanzhi's crying and complaining, he forcibly sent her away!
The news reached Ling Xiao's ears.

Ling Xiao told Liang Dong about this, Liang Dong shrugged indifferently, and said with a smile: "Ling Xiao, you will be my daughter alone from now on, and you have nothing to do with that poisonous woman!"

Ling Xiao stood next to the book case, admiring Liang Dong's latest painting.

Obviously, after getting rid of the restraint and threats of the General's Mansion, Liang Dong's mood also changed.

From the frail and timid scholar before, he has become more and more decent, whether it is appearance or temperament, he has become more and more calm, even a bit extraordinary.

Perhaps, this is the real Liang Dong.

A man who has regained his freedom, regained his peace, and bookish spirit.

Ling Xiao collected Liang Dong's paintings, and when Zhao Ji came down to court, she took Zhao Ji to the study in Qinghe Garden and asked Zhao Ji to inscribe Liang Dong's paintings.

The White Stone Hall was quickly renovated.

Through Zhao Ji's relationship, Ling Xiao invited Su Mingxu, a great writer, to come over. He originally planned to ask Su Mingxu to write a plaque, but Su Mingxu was not afraid of power and did not seek wealth. Even if Zhao Ji came forward in person, he would not easily agree to Ling Xiao's request.

On this day, in Huanhua Building.

Ling Xiao ordered an elegant box and invited Su Mingxu over for tea.

Although Su Mingxu is a great writer in the Song Dynasty, his official career is not very successful. He used to be a servant in the Imperial Academy, and later became Zhao Ji's Taifu. He has talent, but he has no real power in the court, so it is difficult to realize his ambitions. .

Zhao Ji intends to promote him, but the forces in the court are intertwined, and many powerful officials in the court secretly obstruct Su Mingxu's development, and even Zhao Ji cannot completely solve these remaining problems.

Of course, although Su Mingxu does not hold great power, he has won the trust and cultivation of Zhao Ji. He is well-deserved No.

Ling Xiao ordered a pot of Liu Yechun, and when Su Mingxu arrived late, Ling Xiao poured tea for him without any objection.

When Su Mingxu saw her, a faint surprise flashed in his eyes.

He said, Zhao Ji, a student who is not greedy for women, is a bit arrogant, when will he be interested in women and become so uncontrollable?

Being able to be favored by Zhao Ji, Master Liang's daughter is indeed very good-looking, with bright eyes and bright teeth, extraordinary bearing, and quite the beauty of the city.

Su Mingxu is an elder after all, Ling Xiao must respect him.

Su Mingxu picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, his eyes brightened: "This is..."

"I heard that Taifu Su loves Liuyechun the most, but he has never found wild Liuyechun and the most suitable mountain spring water for making tea."

This cup of Willow Leaf Spring was picked by Ling Xiao himself from the cliffs in the suburbs of Beijing. The mountain spring water for tea was also taken from the Crescent Moon Spring in the deep mountains and old forests.

The spring water is clear, slightly sweet, and has a faint floral fragrance after boiling.

Su Mingxu is also a person who understands tea, once he tastes it, he can taste a bit of Ling Xiao's intentions.

"Good tea! Good water!"

Su Mingxu couldn't help admiring.

Ling Xiao took the opportunity to give him a jar of Liuyechun baked in his hands and an altar of Crescent Spring water.

"Be careful, it's not respect!"

Su Mingxu probably benefited from Ling Xiao's humble and polite attitude. He accepted the gift and said with a smile, "I can write an inscription for the Baishi Art Gallery, but Ms. Liang will be strictly selected in the future, so as not to ruin my reputation!"
