Great court system

Chapter 249 Married Daughter
In the hall of the Xia Mansion, the Xia family's father and daughter were sitting next to each other. In front of them there were many delicacies and delicacies on jade plates.

It was obviously just a breakfast, but the table was already filled with delicious food.

At a glance, there are steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, potted quail, shredded duck...

Just like this, there were still servants coming and going, continuing to serve food, and after a while, a large table was slowly filled with food.

"Father, isn't it a bit too wasteful to eat so much for breakfast? If Big Brother He and the others see it, they might make a joke of our family's extravagance."

Seeing so many meals, Xia Ziwei pursed her lips and said in embarrassment.

After Xia Changling listened, he laughed nonchalantly and said, "Weier, my Xia family is a marquis' family after all, and my Xia Changling is also the master of Lingyang Mansion, why? This is too much.

That's my dear daughter, you haven't seen the emperor's meal, that's luxurious and luxurious, a hundred times better than mine.

And I don’t have much time left to be a father. There are rumors outside that I love money as much as my life, so why don’t I want to be extravagant?

Hey, it's a pity, I still want to see my precious grandson grow up one day..."

Suddenly hearing such sad words, Xia Ziwei's eyes turned slightly red, obviously thinking of the Gu poison on Xia Changling's body.

"Father……"

Xia Ziwei grabbed Xia Changling's hand and said in a choked voice.

For a long time since she was a child, Xia Ziwei has always had special feelings for her father, including maternal love and fatherly love, because she did not have a mother.

On the outside, Xia Changling is a benevolent and loving lord, he is just and strict, and loves the people. At home, Xia Changling is a kind father, who loves and loves his daughter and takes good care of his tribe.

It's just such a person, because of the Three Generations and Three Generations Destiny Defeat Gu, it's only been a few years, which made Xia Ziwei feel even more distressed.

Seeing Xia Ziwei slowly crying, Xia Changling patted her hand with a sad expression.

To be honest, he had no complaints about the poison passed down from his ancestors.

After all, without the life-and-death struggle of his ancestors, how could he get his current glory and wealth.

This huge mansion, hundreds of servants, the fiefdom of Lingyang Mansion, and the marquis pardoned by the court are not all inherited, which has already made him envious of many people.

It's a pity that the only thing that makes him reluctant is this daughter in front of him. Because of the early death of his beloved wife, Xia Changling transferred all his love to Xia Ziwei. When he thought of leaving his daughter alone after his death, Xia Changling Ling felt a little sad.

But fortunately, fortunately, he has now found someone worthy of entrusting his daughter.

Touching Xia Ziwei's reddened eyes, Xia Changling murmured, "Wei'er, what do you think of He Ning?"

"what!"

Hearing Xia Changling's question, Xia Ziwei exclaimed, then hesitated and said: "Brother He, he, he is very good, with strong martial arts, righteous and awe-inspiring, and, moreover, it gave Wei'er a very special feeling." " After finishing speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing his daughter's appearance like this, how could Xia Changling not know that she has already moved his heart, besides, he himself is very satisfied with He Ning, He Ning is not bad in terms of strength or talent, and is reliable.

As for those clansmen, Xia Changling had completely given up, and no matter what, he was not at ease in handing over Xia Ziwei and Lingyang Mansion to them.

"Master, Mr. He and the others are here." Just as Xia Changling was meditating, a housekeeper came to report.

This housekeeper was not Housekeeper Xia, but the previous deputy housekeeper. Xia Changling had already expelled Xia Steward from the mansion because of his collusion with Xia Changhe, so Xia Changling promoted him.

As soon as the butler finished speaking, he heard footsteps, and then saw a group of people walking in, and the leader was He Ning.

Ever since He Ning heard that Xia Changling was going to invite them to have breakfast, he set off directly.

However, when he saw the table full of wine, meat and food, he was still taken aback. Not only him, Han Dafu and Mo Bo were also taken aback, only Duanlang glanced at it with a calm expression.

Since the rise of status and power, He Ning has gradually become more picky about food and food, even so, He Ning still has a big appetite for the food and drink in front of him.

"Master Xia, it's too expensive to bother you with hospitality so early in the morning." He Ning cupped his hands at Palace Master Xia and said politely.

The three Duanlang people behind him also bowed their hands to Xia Changling in salute.

Seeing this, Xia Changling laughed loudly and said: "Little friend He Ning, you don't have to be polite, you and Duanlang helped my house a lot last night, so it's nothing to treat you to a meal.

Everyone, you're welcome, please take a seat! "

Xia Changling called He Ning and the others to sit down, then glanced at Duanlang, his eyes flashed a gleam, and said in a deep thought: "If the old man's prediction is correct, Mr. Duan should be from Qingmutang, I don't know what He Xiaoyou is. relation?"

As the Marquis of the imperial court, Xia Changling naturally belonged to the imperial court, and he had some subconscious precautions against Qingmutang in his heart. After all, the Kunlun Demon Cult caused quite a stir back then, and Qingmutang, as the remnant of the Demon Cult, naturally caused a lot of trouble. His attention.

However, the relationship between the two is not as tense as the Nanliang court and Wudou Mijiao.

This is because there is no conflict between the two. Firstly, it is because Da Qi did not inherit the legal system of the Jin Dynasty, so there is no direct conflict with the Kunlun Demon Cult.

Secondly, in the past when expelling the alien races in the grassland, the two parties even cooperated indirectly, so the relationship was neither good nor bad.

This is also the reason why Xia Changhe dared to ask He Buliu for help. In Nanliang, you can see which court official dared to collude with the Five Dou Rice Sect.

Hearing Xia Changling's inquiry, Duanlang's expression returned to indifference, and he said indifferently: "To tell the truth, Palace Master Xia, I am indeed a member of Qingmu Hall.

As for my relationship with brother He, we have known each other since we were children, and our love is stronger than gold, and we are best friends, life and death brothers. "

After finishing speaking, He Ning next to him showed a shallow smile that no one could detect. Of course, these were discussed by the two of them just now.

Of course, the master-slave relationship between He Ning and Duanlang cannot be exposed in front of outsiders, and Qingmu Hall will not accept another subordinate as the hall master.

So He Ning discussed with Duanlang in advance and changed to a relatively equal relationship of best friend and best friend.

On the other hand, Han Dafu and He Ning looked at each other in surprise. One of them is from Linxi County, He Ning's hometown, and the other has been in Linxi County for several years. He has never heard of He Ning Duanlang. .

However, the two of them were only a little confused. He Ning had a lot of secrets, and this was nothing. Maybe it was because Duanlang lived in Linxi County for a while when he was a child, and then came to Beiqi again.

When Xia Changling heard Duanlang's words, he squinted his eyes and began to ponder. He was able to persuade an altar master of the Tianfu Realm in Qingmu Hall, and Duanlang's status in Qingmu Hall was obviously not low.

And he and He Ning have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is so close, so it seems that He Ning is not that simple.

Xia Changling picked up the chopsticks in his hand, took a piece of meat for He Ning, and asked casually, "He Xiaoyou, what do you think of my daughter Wei Er?"

Hearing this, He Ning didn't react, but Xia Ziwei, who was sitting beside her, suddenly trembled and almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

She didn't expect her father to mention this so quickly, and her mood suddenly became mixed and turbulent, shy, shy, nervous, panic...

Xia Changling also noticed the change in his daughter's mind, and sighed in his heart, Wei'er, father helped you pass the last test, and you will have to rely on yourself from now on.

Although He Ning on the side had expected that the other party would ask about this question, but when he saw Xia Ziwei's expression, he frowned in his heart, and immediately felt troubled.

He really didn't expect that his random operations seemed to win Xia Ziwei's heart, and he really didn't know what to say.

In the previous life, some dog lickers worked so hard to win the heart of a certain goddess, but the result was that they licked more and more. However, He Ning didn't do anything, and a wonderful misunderstanding was caused by accidents.

He Ning rubbed his head, he had already guessed what Xia Changling meant, but he still pretended to be confused and said: "Miss Xia is beautiful and generous, well-behaved and cute, and she is also your precious daughter of Palace Master Xia, with a noble status, naturally Qianli Pick a good woman."

Hearing He Ning's praise, Xia Changling stroked his beard and laughed loudly with satisfaction, because he thought He Ning was telling the truth, and of course he thought his daughter was perfect.

And Xia Ziwei at the side was already blushing at this time, her well-behaved ruddy face was very cute.

Han Dafu and Mo Bo also looked at each other suspiciously, could it be that my lord really wants to be a aunt in the Xia family?

Only Duanlang still sat upright, with a calm and indifferent face, only when he looked at He Ning, his eyes fluctuated a little, and the rest of the time he seemed like an outsider, exuding an indifferent and distant temperament.

Xia Changling looked at He Ning, and said with a light smile, "He Xiaoyou, according to the rules of yesterday's martial arts competition, among the four winners, my daughter will choose a good man to be the son-in-law of my Xia family. Now the other three have voluntarily given up."

Speaking of this, Xia Changling just snorted: "These people don't know what's good and what's good. They were scared away by Xia Changhe, a shameless person, and left as soon as he said it. But this also allowed me to see their true colors clearly. Fortunately, The master of this palace has not yet married my precious daughter to them!”

Then he looked at He Ning again, with a satisfied look on his face, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, He Xiaoyou is as firm as one, and you are not afraid of rape. I am also very satisfied with He Xiaoyou's performance.

As for the current situation, the old man just said it straight.

He Xiaoyou, this old man is going to betroth Wei Er to you. It is best to get married as soon as possible. After marriage, you will be my uncle in Xiafu.

Not only that, but I'm also going to pass on my title and territory to you, and Wei'er just needs to be a good housekeeper.

As for my clansmen, don't worry, my direct lineage of the Xia family has always been relatively small in number because of the Three Generations and Three Generations Destruction Gu, so you don't need to worry about this.

As for those collaterals, there is no need to worry about them. After you and Wei'er get married, I will clean up all of them and send them all back to the ancestral house. I won't let them bother you.

After the old man passes away, you, as my son-in-law, will be the master of my Xia family and even the entire Lingyang Mansion, the Marquis of Lingyang of Daqi!
In this regard, even the court will not deny it. "

After finishing speaking, Xia Changling looked at He Ning confidently. He believed that these conditions were enough to impress any young hero. With so many benefits, he could not only be beautiful, but also inherit a huge family wealth and power status for nothing. The boy in front of him is a rare genius, but it can save him 20 years of struggle.

Han Dafu and Mo Bo were also shocked by this heavy 'dowry'. It can be said that once they can accept it, they will be a future Marquis of Daqi.

Da Qi is not only stronger than Liang State, but also has a much higher status of nobles. He Ning in Daliang is just an eighth-rank headhunter. It is clear at a glance which one is better.

They both looked at He Ning together, if He Ning really agreed, what would they do?What about the brothers in Liang Guo?
At this time, He Ning couldn't help but clicked his tongue slightly when he heard Xia Changling's words.

It is impossible to say that he is not moved. He Ning is not a saint and has no desires. On the contrary, his persistent pursuit of power is greater than anyone else.

As long as you marry Xia Ziwei, you can inherit everything from the Marquis of Lingyang, not only the title, but also the fief of a mansion and nearly a million people living there, it can be said that it is like a small independent kingdom.

And it doesn't cost anything, and there's no danger.

Because of internal threats, Xia Changling has already arranged his clan well, and I believe there will be no troubles in the future. Externally, although the son-in-law inherits the father-in-law's family property is not in accordance with the rules, as long as Xia Changling reports and explains the situation, I believe the court will approve it.

So the only thing He Ning has to pay is probably to marry Xia Ziwei, but this is probably a bigger benefit.

Who is Xia Ziwei? To put it bluntly, she is the number one beauty in Lingyang Mansion. She is also very famous in the whole Yanzhou. An excellent candidate for a wife, even Jia Lie, who has played with many women, can't forget her, so you can see how attractive Xia Ziwei's beauty is.

And the most important thing for He Ning is that, if nothing happens, then Xia Changling will have less than two years to live.

This means that He Ning doesn't have to wait too long, he only needs to stay in the dark for two years, and he will be able to inherit everything completely. By then, he will only be 20 years old, and he will become the youngest Marquis in Daqi. His power and future can be described as limitless .

But at this time, He Ning narrowed his eyes and covered his eyes while touching his forehead. These thoughts only existed in his mind for a few moments before they were immediately abandoned.

Although all this seems very beautiful, for He Ning, it is still a bit tasteless.

He Ning's foundation is still in the imperial court system, which is an important weapon for him to reach the peak of power.

Now that he had to abandon everything about Daliang and the tasks issued by the system, it meant that He Ning had to start over in Northern Qi.

And He Ning had also inquired before that the current Northern Qi emperor was not very friendly to noble lords, which meant that even if He Ning became a Marquis at a young age, he would probably remain a Marquis for the rest of his life and would not be reused by the court.

Moreover, He Ning looked at Xia Changling, although the Palace Master was hit by the Three Generations Three Generations Destiny Defeat Gu, he still has two years to live.

If it was another person, I would definitely not care about the two years of waiting. After all, compared to the harvest, this time is nothing, and there is a gentle lady who is as gentle as jade to accompany her.

But for He Ning, these two years may be enough for him to work hard to achieve a greater future. The short spring and night in Xiafu all day long is not what an ambitious man like He Ning wants!
So when he heard Xia Changling bluntly wanted to marry his daughter to him, He Ning's face turned solemn, and he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the kindness of Palace Master Xia, I am ashamed to accept it.

It's just that although Miss Xia is gentle and beautiful, and the title of the Xia family's family property is also touching, but these are not what I want.

To tell the truth, Palace Master Xia, I came here this time to ask for something else. As for letting Palace Master misunderstand this point unintentionally, it was my mistake, and I hope Palace Master will forgive you. "

After saying that, He Ning looked at Xia Changling apologetically, already guessing the other person's next anger.

Sure enough, after hearing He Ning's words, Xia Changling was startled, as if he didn't expect He Ning to refuse directly.

In the next second, his face became extremely gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a black cloud, and the wine glass in his hand burst into pieces because he couldn't bear the user's anger.

Looking at He Ning with eyes full of angry flames, Xia Changling's momentum suddenly surged out, and he said coldly:

"He Ning, what you said just now, could it be that you can't play the Palace Master like a monkey!?"
