Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

In the early morning of the next day, a eunuch followed Xiao Beicheng back to the palace, hereby to deliver the emperor's oral order.

After Xiao Beicheng and Junziyou had both kneeled down, the eunuch who passed the decree cleared his throat, held his head high and said, "The king of Jin is virtuous and honest, tolerant, benevolent and kind. Ling's daughter Cao Shiyu Wan, beautiful and intelligent, both talented and beautiful, she is really a good wife and mother, so she chose an auspicious day to get married. I admire you."

If you insist on such a formality, it is nothing more than to let Jun Ziyou know that King Jin is about to get married.The emperor had a deep thought, and even his own nephew would not be spared when he launched a ruthless plan to cut off people's backs. Regarding this point, Xiao Beicheng could only sigh himself.

When the eunuch delivered the decree, his eyes looked back, trying to catch a trace of Jun Ziyou's expression, even if there was only a pouting movement, at least it would make him feel that person cared, even if he was resisting the decree There is also some confidence in refusing to marry.

It's a pity that the gentleman's forehead is pressed to the ground, his expression is hidden under his temples, and he can't even see the slightest happiness or anger.

Facing him who deliberately concealed his emotions, Xiao Beicheng just sighed helplessly.

When others heard that King Jin was bestowed with a marriage, they couldn't wait to come to congratulate them. The threshold of the palace was almost broken, and they thought it was the emperor's grace, but they didn't know that Xiao Beicheng was caught in it, whether it was advancing or retreating. The flattery hit the horse's hoof, and they were all kicked hard.

To say that the emperor seemed to have no real power and was very gentle in doing things, but in fact he acted vigorously and resolutely. At least he was merciless when forcing his own people to come. Knowing that Xiao Beicheng would never disobey the emperor's orders, he used this as a bargaining chip to make progress. Let him ride a tiger.

After the eunuch passed the decree and left, Xiao Beicheng went into the study alone, closed the door tightly, and housekeeper Ren Liu was outside to inform which adult had sent him some congratulatory gifts, his voice became hoarse, and he ignored it.

He spread out the picture scroll sent by the eunuch on the table. It showed a dignified and generous woman with red lips and white teeth. She was indeed a beautiful woman, but it was not what he liked.

He sat paralyzed and closed his eyes in deep thought, guessing the purpose of Emperor Yuan's move. If it is because he grabbed the tail of the Southwest Commercial Bank and needed to stabilize Marquis Ding'an, so he forced Cao Nansheng's daughter to himself, it seemed unreasonable. Chase.

This Zhongshuling Lord Cao has a lot of power in the court, and he is also a well-known aide of the Ding'an Houfu. He likes to go to the old Houye to curry favor with others, and he only wants to marry his beloved daughter to the young Houye Qin Go south.The emperor's edict of bestowing marriage will deal a big blow to both sides. The forced marriage will not only not let them settle their suspicions, but it will mean that they will win their love, and it will only deepen the suspicion between Prince Jin's Mansion and Marquis Ding'an Mansion. .

Obviously, even if Emperor Yuan, who had always hated the formation of cliques among court officials for personal gain, would not force Cao Nansheng into Prince Jin's Mansion even if he wanted to damage the power of the old Marquis.So this move, could it be...

When he was concentrating, he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear: "What a beautiful person, what a pity..."

Isn't it the gentleman who knows how to live and die?

As soon as he saw him, Xiao Beicheng felt furious in his heart. He turned his head away because he was determined to pretend to be asleep, and he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Jun Ziyou still didn't give up, and posted it eagerly, "The prince doesn't want to ask, why do I say it's a pity?"

"Even if she marries into the palace, she will not be favored. She has the name of a princess and enjoys all the glory and wealth, but she will never have children. If one day the king loses power, she will be implicated and become a prisoner. Not only is it a pity, she also Pitiful."

"My lord is indeed speaking from the heart, but what I feel sorry for is not Miss Yu Wan, but you."

"This king?"

"It's a pity that such a good girl is not blessed to marry, tsk tsk... If I were you, I would be bored in bed and cry for three days."

What this person said became more and more inexplicable, Xiao Beicheng raised his leg and kicked it, and the kick caused Junziyou's calf to hurt, and he stopped after screaming, which seemed a bit wronged.

The more Xiao Beicheng looked at his virtue, the angrier he felt, "This king is getting married, what are you so sad about, marrying into the palace is treating her badly?"

"But think about it, Cao Yuwan is the daughter of Zhongshu Ling Cao Nansheng, so who is Master Cao, a veteran who is close to Ding'anhou's mansion, the emperor personally bestowed the marriage, can he still withdraw the marriage? If Cao Yuwan just entered the door like this, Should he get close to the old master or you, your son-in-law? You can figure it out with your ass."

Unexpectedly, he went to inquire about the news on purpose, Xiao Beicheng began to wonder what useful words he could spit out from this dog's mouth, and raised his eyebrows provocatively: "Continue."

"Even if he cruelly abandons his precious daughter and intends to support the old master, the old Hou Ye will suspect that he has bad intentions and gradually alienate him. In this way, Mr. Cao can only get close to the Wang Ye, and at the same time, the old Hou Ye will also because of I feel aggrieved at the loss of a general. There are so many daughters of officials in the court who are young and beautiful, but the emperor chose Cao Yuwan, isn't it just a chance for the prince."

"You mean..."

"Things must be turning around. The prince is not the only one who has a headache now. Whether this marriage can be successful or not depends mainly on what the natal family thinks. You just wait and see, my lord. Some people will definitely not be able to sit in the chair in the near future. You took it one step at a time."

The so-called wait and see what happens is to make him pretend to accept the marriage happily, so as to give outsiders the illusion that King Jin obeys the emperor's order and even wants to make friends with Marquis Ding'an.

Xiao Beicheng really believed his nonsense that "everything will be arranged properly", and waited as if it had nothing to do with him, and pretended to marry the princess, but in fact he had no intention of letting anyone in. The wedding room is not furnished.

Steward Liu moaned and sighed in the study room all day long, lamenting that his prince did not have the slightest sense of being a married man, and Jun Ziyou was not serious all day long, hoping that he might as well visit his future father-in-law and discuss the future.

So when Jun Ziyou asked Butler Liu to prepare a meeting gift so that he could visit Cao's mansion, the latter refused in his heart.

"You bastard is more than successful than failure, it's okay to screw up other things, this is the important event of the prince's life, if you dare to embarrass him, I will screw your dog's head!"

"Don't worry, you should be happy that the prince is getting married, right? I've always been very measured in doing things, don't worry."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't you make too many jokes? Not to mention the prince, I can't count the number of times I wiped your ass on one hand. Going out for a drink will cause trouble, Do you know how much money it took to clean up the last time I vomited in the East Street restaurant?"

Jun Ziyou quickly covered Steward Liu's mouth, stomped his feet impatiently, and heard no movement in the study, then winked at him and made a silent gesture.

"Hey, don't make noise. Let the prince know that I go out to drink, and you will inevitably teach me a lesson. I will remember your favor, and I will never harm the prince. Trust me this time, just once."

Unable to resist his stalking, Steward Liu had no choice but to compromise.The main reason is that he is afraid that he will go out and be deceived by himself, and give the soil radish to Mr. Cao as old ginseng.

For this reason, Steward Liu deliberately took out the agate Ruyi that had been treasured by the palace for many years, wiped off the accumulated dust with love, carefully packed it in a brocade box, and couldn't help shrinking his hands when he handed it to Junziyou.

The latter was stunned, but in the end it was still ruthless, and he staggered out the door, thinking that such a generous gift was prepared for a wedding that was destined to be withdrawn, and the people of the palace were really serious in their work.

He just went to Cao's mansion alone, dressed in white and very low-key, when the servants of Cao's mansion saw him, they thought he was sent by an adult to give gifts, and let him in without looking up.

Seeing that no one cared about him, Jun Ziyou walked through the front hall and wandered into the back garden by mistake. Cao Nansheng happened to be discussing with his wife about the gift of marriage in the gazebo, and the daughter of the Cao family, Yu Wan, was covering her face and crying, The atmosphere is very depressing.

Cao Yuwan cried: "Daughter dare not talk too much about important matters in the court, but everyone knows that Dad is close to Marquis Ding'an, and the old Marquis has always been at odds with King Jin. If my daughter just married into the palace like this, I don't know how much I will suffer in the future. I beg father to think of a way, whether the emperor can take back his order and cancel this marriage..."

Mrs. Cao couldn't help wiping her tears when she heard her cry, "Master, Wanwan is our only daughter. It would be nice if she went to the palace and suffered grievances. We have watched her grow up since we were young. You love Wanwan the most, how can you bear her to suffer?"

The mother and daughter fought both ways, Cao Nan was helpless and had no choice but to say, "This... the emperor personally ordered the marriage, what can I do? Resisting the order is a serious crime against the three clans."

"So, can't we find a girl from another family to marry instead of Wanwan? At that time, let's send Wanwan out of the capital, and when the limelight passes, let her change her name and come back... By the way, Wanwan and The third son of Mr. Li's family is a childhood sweetheart, if he is allowed to marry Wanwan first..."

"What do you know! This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Whoever dares to marry Wanwan at this time would be putting his entire family and life in it. If I could really take these shortcuts, would I still feel guilty about it? I haven't asked yet." According to what the old Hou Ye said, let's not act rashly, let's wait and see what happens."

"It's easy for you to say! The old marquis refuses to see you, so you can only figure out your own way. Now that the gifts are coming to your door, should we accept them or not! If you accept them, you just nodded and agreed to this marriage. Wanwan fell into the pit of fire. If you don’t accept it, you will be closed to King Jin, and your life will be even more difficult in the future!... Ouch, my Wanwan’s life is not good. So involuntary, so pathetic..."

When Junziyou heard that Lord Hou didn't see Cao Nan's voice, he was very happy.

No matter why Qin Zhiyu didn't see him behind closed doors, now it's his opportunity to sneak in.

He coughed lightly and let the family of three notice him as an uninvited guest. The mother and daughter were so frightened that they immediately wiped away their tears, turning their faces away and not daring to see anyone.

Cao Nan's voice was about to explode when he recognized that this was the newly appointed Young Minister of Dali Temple and a member of Prince Jin's Mansion, he had to swallow his anger and forced a smile on his face.

"Hey, isn't this Jun Shaoqing? What kind of wind blows you to my house today."

"Look at Mr. Cao's words. Naturally, there is a fairy wind of joy. All the civil and military officials in the court came to congratulate them because of the emperor's gift of marriage. Naturally, I can't let it go. But Mr. Cao's face is not very good. Is it right for this marriage? What are you dissatisfied with?"

"This, this, this... the emperor's gift of marriage is an honor, how could it be?"

"Really? Then Mr. Cao is satisfied. But to tell you the truth, my heart will be broken when I hear this news. Don't care what others say, this marriage is going to be ruined by me."

Thinking that he was here to taunt and flaunt his power, this sentence made Cao Nan stunned, and he didn't return to his senses for a long time.

"You mean..."

"Isn't that clear enough? Then I'll stress it again, the marriage of King Jin Xiao Beicheng will be ruined by the young gentleman of Dali Temple!"
