(The second update today, ask for a monthly pass!)

Du Wei nodded, faintly understanding in his heart. Although he didn't know much about the Liszt family at the beginning, but now that his status is getting higher and he has been mixed in the aristocratic circle, he also knows some of the history of the Liszt family's fortune. The Marquise's father, the former patriarch of the Liszt family, did indeed do a lot of disgraceful things. For the sake of family development, he married his beautiful daughter to an older nobleman, just to cling to the other party's prominent status, and then his business flourished all the way. Besides, I vaguely heard that...they also secretly operated some prohibited things, such as smuggling from the frozen forest, as well as maritime trade, and I heard that they had also engaged in some illegal activities.

Du Wei was not surprised when he heard it. After all, no matter in this world or in Du Wei's previous life, among those rich and powerful families, which fortune history has nothing shameful? It is also unusual.

Moreover, after the Marquis Liszt inherited the family, she was very rigorous in doing things, and her reputation gradually turned around.

It is said that Mr. Lan Hai and Mr. Liszt turned against each other back then, which meant that they would never see each other. Later, Mr. Liszt visited Lan Hai, but Lan Hai also closed the door. 

Du Wei frowned: In this way, Mr. Lan Hai's attitude is so firm, how can I help? I'm afraid all the disciples under Lan Hai's sect know about this matter, when Philip told me just now. Mr. Lan Hai made the rules, and I can't force them to break the rules... I told Philip about the letter just now, but that kid deliberately didn't mention it. Obviously Lan Hai made the rules, and he didn't want to do this thing. ”

Moreover, Du Wei still had another thought in his mind: this marquise, I heard, is a very smart person. Doing things is also very measured, since she clearly knows the festivals. It also raised such a difficult question... I am afraid the meaning is not simple.

Du Wei thought for a while, sighed, and said, I'll write back to my wife right away. I'll try my best to deal with this matter, but after all, I can't make the decision. In the final analysis, I just do my best.

Du Wei's letter was delivered quickly. This time, Mrs. Liszt replied very quickly. In the letter, she expressed her understanding of Du Wei's difficulty, and she did not dare to force it. She just put forward a roundabout suggestion: whether she can send her younger siblings to the northwest, even if they live in Du Wei temporarily. In this way, after a long time, he will be by the side of these elites under the blue ocean sect. You can always learn something, maybe after a long time, the other party will be willing to accept apprentices because of the long-term love.

The Marquise Liszt wrote this letter very sincerely, and she also clearly stated that her father had some misunderstandings with Mr. Lan Hai back then. After my father got old, it was deeply cited as a lifelong regret. If the gap between the two families can be eliminated, it can be regarded as understanding one of his father's heart problems.  These words also somewhat relieved Du Wei's doubts. The Liszt family is so rich in the world, apart from Lan Hai, what university can't be hired?

Since it is to understand the grievances of the elders, it is understandable to insist on doing this.

Send it as soon as it is delivered, anyway, Du Wei's Governor's Mansion is as big as it is.  Don't say send two people. Even if you send ten or hundreds of them, you won’t be able to accommodate them.

Immediately, Du Wei sent someone to reply, which was regarded as officially agreeing to the request of Mrs. Liszt and Marquis.

Du Wei didn't hide this matter from Philip and the others, after all, he promised to play in the middle. Although he would not force Philip, the disciples of the Blue Sea Sect, to do anything in his own capacity, he would show respect by telling them in advance.

After Philip found out, he sighed, took a deep look at Du Wei, and said in a low voice, My lord, is this matter...... I don't think it's that simple. 

Du Wei frowned slightly: What do you think?

Philip seemed to be worried. Du Wei smiled lightly, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: Philip, you know, what I hope most is that everyone can talk freely by my side. Get up, we are united to create a better situation, no matter what in the future, you can talk to me as much as you want, don't have any worries, are you still afraid that I will blame you?...

Philip also smiled: Actually, after careful calculation, this matter is your private matter, and it has nothing to do with us. 

oh?

Philip smiled slightly, his eyes flickered, and he said lightly: My lord, in two months' time, it will be your fifteenth birthday. 

Seeing that Du Wei didn't seem to understand, Philip added slowly: The imperial decree states that a man who reaches the age of fifteen is considered an adult and can marry. I heard that the sister of the Marquise Liszt is sixteen years old this year. She is extremely smart and beautiful, and her fame spreads far and wide. It is even said that she is far more beautiful than the Marquise Liszt herself when she was young! Since she was fourteen years old, so many rich and noble people who came to propose marriage have almost broken through the gate of the Liszt family. ...My lord, at this time, she sent such a beautiful and unparalleled younger sister to you... It's been a long time... Hehe!

Du Wei was stunned and couldn't help being stunned.

But Philip continued: My lord, throughout the circle of powerful and powerful families, such things as marriage and alliance are the most common.  Although the Lister family is rich and powerful now, the marquis, the patriarch of the family, is a woman after all.   And she is also a Widow, moreover, her title of Marquis is a court title for life! Decades later, after her death, the Liszt family will no longer be considered aristocrats without the title. It’s just a merchant family! The family must have a strong foreign aid to continue, otherwise, it may not be enough for a merchant family to continue to gain a foothold in the empire! If there is no strong backing, maybe one day they will be bullied Now, I can’t protect myself! Now that the Marquis Liszt is here, I heard that she has a good relationship with the royal family, and she is also a noble lady, but what happens after her? It’s normal to think about the future of the family!”

Du Wei couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that Du Wei didn't mean to be impatient, Philip felt certain in his heart, and simply confided all his thoughts: Look at you, my lord, throughout the entire empire, is there any more suitable marriage partner than you? You are young Young, you are already a duke! And the appreciation of His Royal Highness the Regent for you is well known! The Regent will definitely become the emperor in the future, and His Royal Highness Chen is not much older than you, and has a good personal relationship with you. As long as he One day in office, your status will be difficult to shake! After decades, you will be an extremely human minister. With your talent, status, and friendship with the emperor, a prime minister will definitely not be able to escape! At that time, the empire Within, in the elite circle, you are the number one person! Who else can compare with you? The most important thing is that you are about to become an adult, but now you are still single! Generally speaking, the children of nobles Marriage will be arranged when you are a minor, but you... It seems that I heard that you don't have any marriage contract! After all the calculations, my lord is now in charge of the power of a province, and you are the Duke, and your future is limitless! If you can pull up this big tree like you, then the wealth and honor of the Liszt family in the next few decades will never be shaken!

After Philip's words, Du Wei woke up suddenly... It turns out that he has become a hot diamond king? !

Thinking about it now, Du Wei suddenly recalled that when he was on fire in the imperial capital, many wealthy nobles tried their best to show their favor to him. are underage) all pulled out to give an enthusiastic introduction. At that time, Du Wei didn't think about it in his heart, and he was a magician, and he rarely went out. Most of the invitations were politely declined on the grounds of studying magic. After living in the magic academy, these invitations gradually decreased. up.

Now that I think about it, those nobles who tried their best to win over themselves probably had this idea too!

Philip continued to laugh and said: My lord, you are about to perform the coming-of-age ceremony. Most aristocratic men get married immediately after the coming-of-age ceremony. It will be rare for you to have a marriage that has not been settled yet.   And I think Li Si The Te family is also very suitable for you. Marquis Li Sita has a great influence in the aristocratic circle, and the family has strong financial resources, which is a good helper for your career! Since the other party has this intention, how about...

Du Wei suddenly sighed, and glanced at Philip: Philip, you have only been in the Northwest for less than half a year, and your temperament has changed a lot from when you left the imperial capital.   You would not have thought of such a powerful marriage at the beginning. What about things. ”….

Philip was startled, thinking that Du Wei was angry, and hurriedly said, My lord, I'm thinking about you. 

Okay, I don't blame you either. Du Wei smiled: It's just that, a rookie in the political arena, today he discusses this kind of power trading with me in an orderly manner, although I am very pleased with your progress. , I also understand your loyalty to me... But, alas, this power will indeed change people. 

Before Philip could speak, Du Wei had already shook his head: I don't think it's too early to get married, and...hehe, even if I marry a wife, I don't want to fall into this cliché of scheming and trading marriages between nobles. My thoughts, you Should have known. ”

Philip suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, remembering that the Duke seems to have a very good relationship with that female magician Vivienne, he couldn't help but sigh...

My lord, though you are a magician, you are also a duke. People in this circle, many things, how can I decide for myself...
