Chapter 209: Great relief!
"Your teacher told me, which family did you promise You Ning to?"
The boss has wanted to ask about this matter for a long time, but he was worried about his son-in-law's face, so he held back.
He just wanted to know who it was. He had a lot of friends when he was young. Many of the nobles in the court now had a rough background, and many of them were rebels back then.
At that time, their status was not much different, and many of them had met before. For example, he also knew Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi State today.
I can't say how good the relationship is, but at least I can talk to him. If my son-in-law gets into trouble, I will beg for mercy even if I have to save my face.
Judging from what Xie Lian did in Luan County during this period, as well as his attitude towards his son-in-law with Gu Yanzhi, the governor of Mingzhou, it is not difficult to see that Xie Lian's relationship in Chang'an may not be simple! Regardless of the importance and attention the imperial court paid to Mingzhou Port, the magistrate of Luan County, which manages Mingzhou Port, is not something that ordinary people can take.
And the respectful attitude of those overseas businessmen towards Xie Lian shows that his status in Chang'an may not be simple!
Xie Lian suddenly knew that he could no longer hide this matter, so he simply said it. As for what others said, he would bear it.
After bowing to the old man, he said: "Zi Zheng was wrong. Didn't you ask the two guards who followed Zizheng south? They are the soldiers who promised You Ning to that person."
"What? You promised You Ning to a martial artist? Do you think you are out of your mind or something? I will kill you if you don't live up to your expectations."
As soon as he heard that the two men who could be seen as tough soldiers were other people's soldiers, he immediately knew that they must be generals and nobles. How could he not be angry? Look at the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Those who are not elderly are probably over beast dared to promise You Ning to them?Is it to be a concubine or a concubine? It’s not that he was just thinking wildly, after all, at this time, people were still very particular about being well-matched. If he could become a distinguished person, how easy would it be for him to be the mistress of the family?
At least they are all girls from aristocratic families. It’s not that he looks down on the Xie family. If back then in the Southern Dynasty, the Xie family would have been a powerful family and they would be worthy of anyone.
But what happens now?The Xie family has long since declined. For many years, no one capable of shouldering important responsibilities has emerged. I am afraid that in a few generations, it will be just like an ordinary family.
Being able to send personal soldiers to escort their family means that they are definitely not the children of those noble families. They don't have that right yet, so they can only be the nobles themselves with titles.
This is pushing the child into the fire. Who are those noble people?At that time, it was okay to be a killer who came down from the battlefield, but how old was he? How old was You Ning?
"See if I don't beat you to death, you'll bring shame on your Xie family. Hurry up and put this marriage off, otherwise I won't have you as my son-in-law. Now take my daughter home.
What's the benefit of following someone like you?Sooner or later, all the wealth of your Xie family will be ruined. "
As he was about to go up and beat Xie Lian, Xie Lian smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law, you have misunderstood! You have misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can I have? Tell me, who is it? Let's see if there is any room for redemption."
In fact, what he said just now were all angry words. What happened has happened, and what he wants to do is how to reverse the matter. Otherwise, he will be shameless in seeing others.
Xie Lian helped his father-in-law sit down, and then said: "Can't you just listen to what I have to say? Although I, Xie Zizheng, dare not say anything about being a gentleman in this world, I am not the kind of villain who sells his daughter for glory!"
"Speak quickly!" the old man said urgently.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you, let me tell you. Have you ever heard of the surname Ji of the Ni family?" Xie Lian said.
"The surname of the Yi family is Ji?" The old man was a little confused. Whether they were the surnames of the Yi family or Ji, they were relatively rare now, and it was even rarer to have the two together.
He thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said: "But he is a descendant of Cheng Gongsui? He was a great scholar of Confucianism in the Jin Dynasty. He was good at music and poetry. He was the author of "Cheng Zi'an Ji". If he were from their family, he would be pretty good."
"However, I haven't heard of anyone in their family in recent years? Since the surname is Ji, it's even more inappropriate."
"Well, my father-in-law, those are all from the old almanac of that year. If I am correct, the surname Cheng should be a branch of his family. It is the current surname Zheng among the five surnames, and the surname Zhou in Jiangdong should be theirs. Same sect, but a little far away!"
"This" Hearing this, the old man was a little confused. When did such an awesome family appear in this world? Can these five surnames, the Zheng family, and the Zhou family in Jiangdong be related? You know, these two families are the orthodox descendants of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Although people don't pay attention to these things now, they are after all a big family in the world, so he can't help but not pay attention to them.
There is nothing simple about getting involved with these two families.
"Say, who is it?"
"Ji Song, Ji Ziyi, was the Marquis of Haoren County when the People's Republic of China was founded. He is currently the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple and the general manager of Gyeonggi Province's land management."
After Xie Lian finished speaking in one breath, he felt much more relaxed!
"Why does this name sound so familiar? No, I must have heard it somewhere!"
The old man stood up at this time and walked back and forth, but he just couldn't remember!
Xie Lian smiled on the side and did not remind him.
"Snapped!"
Xie Lian was startled and turned around to see Mr. Zhang looking at him angrily. He felt pain in his back. His head was covered with black lines. Why is this woman so crazy?
"Why did you hit me?"
Xie Lian was so anxious that even Guanzhong's accent came out.
"Hit you? Look at how worried dad is, and you're still giggling here?"
Being poked into his thoughts, Xie Lian was embarrassed for a while. Looking at his father-in-law who was glaring at him, he could only swallow the words in his mouth.
"Everyone looked for him thousands of times, but when he looked back, he was there in the dim light. Dad must have heard of this!" Ms. Zhang reminded her, not forgetting to glare at Xie Lian when she was done.
In fact, when they were quarreling, Mrs. Zhang had already arrived, but she didn't come in after seeing that nothing was wrong.
"Is it him?" The old man's eyes lit up and he finally remembered.
It's not that he is ignorant, but that the information is transmitted slowly at this time. Maybe what just happened in Chang'an will happen in Jiangdong a few months later.
This new poem appeared on the Shangyuan Festival in the eighth year of Wude. Now it can be said that anyone who studied in the Tang Dynasty knows it.
Many people are fascinated by this poem, but they ignore the author.
Knowing who Ji Song was, he remembered the introduction to him in the Di newspaper.
He should be only 17 years old this year. When the Turks went south, they defeated the Turks twice and killed the enemy commander, which laid a solid foundation for the subsequent peace talks.
He was named the Marquis of Haoji County, and when he thought of his surname, he knew who he the guess is correct, they should be descendants of the Tao Kingdom, who were later moved to Shandong to establish the Kingdom. Ji Song's branch should be one of the main lines that stayed there.
Thinking of this, he felt great relief and was happy that You Ning could find such a husband.
