Red makeup against the world

Chapter 268 The Lobbyist
Seeing his respectful attitude, Tu Hongyi did not dare to neglect, and bowed his hands in salute: "I have met the son of Duke An."

Shi Jingze invited him to a seat and ordered: "Have a pot of Biluochun, and serve four plates and four plates of pastries. Let's chat while drinking."

Biluochun is the tea that Tu Hongyi likes to drink, so it is easy to inquire about his preferences.Since he has to do things, Shi Jingze is used to doing things well.

Tu Hongyi was surprised in his heart, the dignified son of Duke Anguo, who has never seen each other on weekdays, can't be so polite to him, right?He exchanged greetings, listening to his purpose.

The chief follower went to take the order, and after a while, he came up with Xiaoer, made hot tea, put out the four-color plates of fried peanuts, fennel beans, beef jerky, and bean skin, and four-color plates of mung bean cake, rose cake, tuckahoe cake, and hibiscus cake pastry.

Xiao Er backed out, Chang Sui turned around and closed the door, leaving the space for the two of them.

Tu Hongyi glanced at the crowded table in front of him, and didn't move his chopsticks.Under the courtesy, people must ask for something, and he must first listen to what it is.

Seeing his thoughts, Shi Jingze smiled loudly and said: "Dr. Tu, there is no need to be suspicious. I came here specially today to congratulate you."

"I don't know, where does the joy come from?"

"Let me get straight to the point. The second lady of the mansion is extremely intelligent, and Liu Qiran, the eldest son of Duke Pingguo's mansion, sincerely proposes to marry me. Please ask me to make one and two together."

"Ping Guogong?!" Tu Hongyi blurted out in surprise, his face sank: "My lord, are you joking about being an official?" Then he stood up and was about to walk away.

Shi Jingze hurriedly stopped him: "Dr. Tu, I'm really not joking. Although my Anguo government has been quiet these years, I'm not the one who did evil with a screwdriver. I have a reputation in Beijing. "

Only then did Tu Hongyi slowly take his seat. With the status of Duke Anguo's mansion, he really couldn't do it.

"Dr. Tu, listen to me. Enemies should be solved rather than tied. At the Peony Flower Party, Liu Qiran met the second lady of the family. He was a jerk and deserved to be punished by the second lady. But since then he has never forgotten the second lady, and knows If he comes to the door rashly, you will definitely not allow it, so you asked me to make a deal."

"So, he is sincere?" Because of Wu Niangzi, his family had a grudge with the Pingguo government.There is no reason for this grievance, it would be great if it can be untied, it would be a good story.

"It can't be more sincere. Dr. Tu, think about it, if you didn't sincerely ask for marriage, how could you act like this? If you want to embarrass the Tu family, you can come to ask for marriage with drums and drums, and damage the reputation of Second Miss Tu."

It is this reason, Tu Hongyi muttered to himself with his beard.

Shi Jingze greeted: "Come, drink tea first. This matter is not urgent, you always think about it slowly." He poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.

Tu Hongyi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef jerky and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Although this happened suddenly, it sounds a little ridiculous at first glance.But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense.The Tu family and the Pingguo government have no deep hatred, it's just that his father hurt Pingguo's face.Speaking of which, Niangzi Wu is only a matter of the Duke of Pingguo, not himself.

It's just that Liu Qiran has always been an asshole, he is a tyrant in Beijing.Duke Ping is mediocre, relying on his title to earn money from the imperial court. Fortunately, the mansion has a lot of property, otherwise he would have been sitting on nothing.

Moreover, the reputation of the Pingguo government has been bad these years, and all the children from top to bottom are not successful.Except for bullying men and women, and villain servants being arrogant, nothing good has been reported.

The inner house is also in chaos, Duke Ping is addicted to beauty, there are many wives and concubines in the mansion, and there are a lot of sons and daughters.

With Tu Manzhen's temperament, wouldn't it be a crime to marry into such a duke's mansion where the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked?
The Tu family is a noble family with a strict family style. If she is married in, the Tu family may lose the reputation of selling their daughters.

After thinking about it again and again, Tu Hongyi said: "The prince is right, and the officials want to untie this knot. It's just that the Pingguo government has..."

As an official of the imperial court, it is naturally inconvenient for him to say anything about the dignified Duke's mansion, but his meaning is very clear.

Shi Jingze smiled and said: "Dr. Tu, you really love your granddaughter. But although the Pingguo government has looked bad in the past few years, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Liu Qiran will sooner or later attack the prince. The Pingguo government What will happen in the future, isn't he in charge?"

The point is that Liu Qiran himself is also notorious. Tu Hongyi frowned and said: "At the Peony Flower Festival, the prince of Pingguo yelled at my granddaughter, scaring her into a serious illness. Such a person, sir, teach me How do you speak to your daughter-in-law?"

Tu Manzhen was careless, she was frightened at the time, but she became lively again in a few days, there is no such thing as a serious illness as he said.Saying this is just an excuse.

Shi Jingze didn't expect him to respond immediately, after all, Liu Qiran's previous convictions were there.He said: "Maybe Dr. Tu will not believe it, but it is true. Liu Qiran asked me for a long time before I agreed to him to be this lobbyist. I have told him everything you said, and it is true." It's much uglier than yours."

Throwing a peanut into the entrance, Shi Jingze continued: "He swears and swears, let you watch, he will change his past from now on. He also said that if you marry the second lady and return to the house, you must treat her like a jewel. That's why I agreed to him."

Hearing what he said, Tu Hongyi's firm heart couldn't help hesitating.For a woman to marry, first of all, she must be well-matched, and second, she must find a true husband.If Liu Qiran can really do it, even if the Tu family loses their reputation, as long as Tu Manzhen can be happy for the rest of his life, why not?

So the key to this matter lies in Liu Qiran.

Tu Hongyi said: "Of course I believe what the son said. But whether Liu Qiran can do it, the lower officials have doubts."

Shi Jingze smiled and said, "I understand what Dr. Tu means. Next, please wait and see what Dr. Tu does, and see Liu Qiran's performance."

Tu Hongyi nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "Before that, please keep it secret."

"That's natural."

After sending Tu Hongyi away, Shi Jingze put his feet on the window lattice leisurely, brought a plate of fennel beans to his chest, and began to eat while lying down.

This lobbyist was a good one, and he also tricked Liu Qiran by the way.Shi Jingze secretly laughed in his heart, Liu Qiran, oh Liu Qiran, it's not for your brother's sake, who gave you such a bad reputation?Is this daughter of the Tu family so easy to marry?
Next, it depends on what you do to gain the trust of the Tu family.Solve this problem slowly by yourself, I won’t give you advice because I’m going on a safari.

He was leisurely, and there was a knock on the door: "Master, I have something urgent to report."

"Come in. What's the matter?"

"It's spread all over Nanshi. The crown prince has invited the official media as the guarantor for the son. Tomorrow morning, the Xu family will propose to marry Miss Xu as the side concubine."

"What?" Shi Jingze was taken aback, put down his long legs, and stood up abruptly.

The plate of fennel beans fell to the ground, the porcelain plate was broken into several pieces, and the beans rolled on the ground.
