Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 531 Negotiation
At noon, the main courtyard of Duke Anguo's Mansion was very quiet, not a single maidservant or handyman walked around in it.

An Guogong sat in the main courtyard, looked at the eldest grandson standing in front of him, and said, "What did you just say?"

Ji Chongyan stood at the bottom, leaned over and saluted him, and said solemnly: "I want to marry Miss Jiang Si, please help me!"

An Guogong looked at him and fell silent.

Although I didn't open my mouth, the eldest grandson on the opposite side looked at me, his eyes were neither avoiding nor flickering, and his expression was firm.

Such a look... It is because of knowing his eldest grandson that An Guogong's expression became more serious: this thought should come from the eldest grandson's original intention, not any hidden secrets.

So, the girl that the eldest grandson said he liked had already appeared in front of him?
There are some things that I didn't think of at first, but when I think about it carefully, many things seem to have been traced.

The eldest grandson had already mentioned to him Jiangnan Road, and there was a girl he liked, but no matter whether it was from Zhuifeng and the others around the eldest grandson, or from Lin Yan, it was all after the eldest grandson went to Jiangnan Road. From the beginning to the end, the only girl I contacted was Miss Jiang Si.

Oh, no, besides Miss Jiang Si, there is also Yang Yan's daughter who was sent to the palace.But the eldest grandson had already told him that he didn't like the daughter of the Yang family, so it couldn't be the daughter of the Yang family.

For another example, when he had nothing to do, Brother Yan specially arranged for Fourth Miss Jiang to accompany him on a tour of Jiangnan Road.He had a great time and liked Miss Jiang Si very much.Thinking about it carefully, this must be Brother Yan's intention, just to make him have a good impression of Miss Jiang Si.

Another example is when he asks what kind of girl Yan Geer likes.

The saying of "resolute character and extraordinary heart", if you think about it carefully, it is also very suitable for that smart and beautiful girl.

That night when he passed through Luoyang, he had seen the calmness, intelligence and beauty of the girl.

If someone asked him if he liked Miss Jiang Si, he would certainly like it.

However, he never thought that Miss Jiang Si would become Brother Yan's wife before!

"You..." An Guogong wanted to ask "Are you serious?", but when the words came to his lips, seeing his eldest grandson's unwavering gaze, he already had an answer in his heart.

After a long silence, An Guogong finally spoke again: "Why didn't you say anything before? Whether it was Yancheng or Baoling, or on the way back to Beijing, or even after returning to Beijing, why didn't you say anything?"

How many opportunities are there along the way?Why did Brother Yan never mention this to him? .

Moreover, since returning to Beijing... Duke An was silent for a long while, and asked Ji Chongyan: "Since you have fallen in love with Miss Jiang Si, why haven't you seen you go out to play with her?"

It is because of the absence of any behavior between the children he mentioned that Duke An dared to be surprised by this.

Ji Chongyan said: "Grandfather, Fourth Miss Jiang doesn't know about this, and I haven't told her yet."

An Guogong: "..."

It was the first time he knew what his grandson would look like after he fell in love with someone: he liked him for so long, yet he still didn't tell him?
"Why didn't you tell me?" An Guogong couldn't help it, and immediately asked, "If you like it, you have to say it! When your grandfather and I liked your grandmother, we told her the next day." It's light, but at least I know it.

Before Ji Chongyan could speak, An Guogong slapped his thigh and asked anxiously: "Could it be that you are afraid of love, so you don't dare? This kind of thing is for others, what does it have to do with you? What happened to you?" Afraid? In terms of appearance, who in this city of Chang’an can surpass you? In terms of power, what are the generations of our old Ji family working so hard for? Isn’t it just to prevent the children and grandchildren of the family from fancying the woman they like one day without worrying about not being good enough? Deserving? In terms of money... Could it be that our old Ji's family can't afford a daughter-in-law? It's just such a pampering method, our old Ji's family can afford it. What are you afraid of?"

An Guogong was very puzzled: even the ineffective second grandson had never been "loved and feared", how could the eldest grandson be afraid of it?

Ji Chongyan was silent, and said: "...I really thought too much at the beginning. I just heard that General Li of Longxi came to ask for Li Xuan's marriage. I just felt that I was worrying too much!"

Of course he wasn't intimidated by love, he was aware of the poison on Miss Jiang Si's body, and wanted to cure Miss Jiang Si's body of the poison and then slowly figure it out.However, General Li's appearance caught him by surprise, and he had to advance the plan as a last resort.

Maybe Li Xuan would ask Miss Jiang Si for her opinion, but General Li would not, and this matter was not Li Xuan's decision.

When General Li from Longxi came to ask for a marriage, An Guogong immediately slapped the table angrily: "What is Li Datou involved in? His Li Xuan has never even met Miss Jiang Si, what kind of marriage is he asking for? "

General Li's head is bigger than ordinary people, so he has the nickname "Li Datou".Of course, not many people dare to mention this nickname nowadays, but for people of Duke An's generation and status, they can still call this nickname directly.

Seeing his grandfather's reaction, Ji Chongyan heaved a sigh of relief: At first he thought it would take some effort to persuade his grandfather, but his grandfather was far more enlightened than he imagined.

Especially... after hearing that Longxi General Li was going to fight for Miss Jiang Si, he even slapped the table angrily, which completely aroused An Guogong's desire to win.

"I'm looking at our Fourth Miss Jiang... Hey, Brother Yan, what's Miss Jiang's boudoir name?"

Ji Chongyan said with a smile: "Her surname is Jiang and her name is Shaoyan. Uncle Dongping calls her Ayan."

"Oh, I see that our Ayan and my brother Yan are a match made in heaven, when will this big head Li come over and get in his way?" An Guogong patted the table and said angrily, "This old man killed the enemy on the battlefield. At that time, this Li Datou was still playing with mud at home! Dare to fight with our brothers, dreaming!"

This reaction... Ji Chongyan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, but then said: "It would be great if my grandfather is willing to come forward for me, but this matter is still a bit troublesome."

An Guogong who was angry calmed down, paused for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Ji Chongyan nodded: "Your Majesty really wants to say something."

The expression on An Guogong's face was slightly condensed: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether it will be easy or not."

He has been in contact with Miss Jiang Si and knows what kind of person Miss Jiang Si is. Therefore, after hearing Ji Chongyan's request to marry Miss Jiang Si, apart from the initial shock, he quickly accepted it.

But for most people who have never been in contact with Miss Jiang Si, I am afraid it is not so easy to accept.

"Grandfather certainly knows that Miss Jiang Si is a good person, but people in the world only look at her appearance for the first time. If you go to see Your Majesty so rashly, Your Majesty will probably not let go." An Guogong said Here, he paused, and then said, "In addition to the matter between Miss Jiang Si and your cousin... In terms of face, His Majesty may not agree so easily, and the world will also speculate. At that time, the two of you will have to go out together." Enduring others' gazes kills people, do you understand?"

"I understand, so I have to ask my grandfather to help me!" Ji Chongyan's eyes flickered, lowered his eyelids, and said, "My grandson has a plan in mind for this matter, but before that, I want to see Miss Jiang Si first .”

This is... After all, I want to ask to marry someone else's girl, so I have to vent my breath first.

Although An Guogong is confident that his grandson will not be rejected, such a thing as rushing to the door... only that Li Datou can do it.At that time, he would like to see how crazy that Li Datou is, daring to snatch his wife from the hands of his old Ji's family!
However, before that... Watching the back of his grandson's departure, An Guogong summoned someone and said, "Bring that useless thing to the old man!"

The guard was stunned for a moment, and asked An Guogong: "Master An, do you mean the Eldest Master, the Second Master, or the Second Young Master when you say ineffective?"

It seems that there are quite a lot of incompetent people in the Duke's Mansion.

Duke An snorted coldly: "The oldest one, the one with the broken leg!"

Elder Ji, who was lying in the courtyard raising his legs and feet, and was forced to be ascetic for a few days, was carried to the main courtyard.

Elder Ji lay on the door panel, looked up at his "benevolent father", and said in his heart: This saves the usual ceremony, this is the heaviest big party ceremony.

"Lovely Father" got up from his seat, walked to Master Ji with his hands behind his back, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Bastard, this old man is going to marry the girl he likes for Brother Yan, So I specially called you, father, to tell you, get ready."

What can he prepare?Elder Ji, who was lying on the door panel, answered "Oh" weakly, and asked, "Which family is the girl that Brother Yan is looking for?"

This time, the "loving father" in front of him and his "filial son" should tell him who the girl in the picture is!
The voice of my "loving father" rang in my ear: "Brother Yan is in love with Jiang Zhao, the only daughter of Bo Dongping. She is the fourth in the family. Her surname is Jiang, and her maiden name is Shaoyan."

Master Ji, who was lying on the door panel in shock, almost didn't jump out: "Jiang... Miss Jiang Si? That fat man?"

The loving father standing in front of him with his hands behind his back immediately knelt down when he heard the words, stretched out his hands without thinking, and slapped him: "Can you slander the girl Yan Geer likes?"

Master Ji: "..." What he said was the truth, okay? Besides...

"That fat man..."

"You still dare to slander?" Another slap was thrown.

The two solid slaps really woke up Master Ji, and he finally calmed down. With the symmetrical slap marks on his left and right faces, he said to Anguo: "Father, this fat... oh no, Miss Jiang Si doesn't like it. Brother Huan? How can Brother Huan want a woman that Brother Huan doesn’t even want?”

As soon as these words came out, Master Ji who thought that the symmetry of his face was over today and would not get slapped again got another slap on his face.

"That's because he's blind!" An Guogong snorted coldly, "Our Yan brother is different, he has a bright eye!"

The benefit in the tone is beyond words.

Elder Ji: "..." "Lovely Father" has an expression on his face, as if the only one of the two grandchildren, Brother Yan, is his own.

But...it's all the same, he and Brother Yan stood together as if only Brother Yan was his own.

Silently swearing a few words in his heart, thinking of the girl who looked like a big glutinous rice dumpling that he had seen before, Master Ji gritted his teeth and persisted: "Father, I...I don't agree!"

Marrying such a daughter-in-law, his group of cronies and dog friends will laugh their heads off.

When the pain on the other side of his face struck again, Master Ji instinctively closed his eyes and stopped avoiding them.

Stretching out the head with a knife, retracting the head is also a knife.Anyway, you can't hide from it, so it's better to choose to bear it.

After a hearty slap, Master Ji was about to speak with his swollen face on both sides, when An Guogong pointed to his nose and made a sound first.

"They are a natural couple, a match made in heaven, when will you disagree?" An Guogong pointed at his nose and scolded, "The old man agrees, what kind of onion are you?"

Master Ji, who counted as "which onion", was full of grievances: "I'm Brother Yan and his father!"

"How do you look like his father?" An Guogong rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "This old man is here to inform you, not to ask you to object. You will behave better in front of Miss Jiang Si when the time comes. Don't embarrass Brother Yan!"

Elder Ji was mournful and aggrieved: "But we, brother Yan, who is so handsome and talented, are right to walk with Miss Jiang Si? People say that they are a pair of Bi people. How can these two people stand together?" Can people say the words 'a couple of people'?"

An Guogong didn't take it seriously when he heard it, he spread his hands and sneered: "These people in Chang'an City are from eighty to eight years old, no matter married or unmarried, you can find someone who can stand next to Brother Yan for the old man." Make people say 'a pair of Bi people'!"

These words directly caused Master Ji to choke instantly.

This is full of Chang'an City... It seems that no matter who is standing next to Brother Yan, he can't say the word "Deng Dui".Even those women who have been rumored to have some good reputations, and who are considered beautiful when singled out, stand beside Brother Yan... they are also overshadowed.

"Since both come from the same place, there is no difference." An Guogong looked at the contemplative Mr. Ji, waved his hand, and said, "As long as Brother Yan likes it!"

The Elder Ji who was contemplating in that room suddenly said excitedly at this moment: "Yes, yes, yes. I remember that it is right for our brother Yan to walk next to another face. Dad , do you still remember that Miss Jiang..."

Another slap was slapped down across the head and face, Master Ji was stunned, staring blankly at Duke An who was sneering in front of him, as if he hadn't recovered for a while.

Why an extra slap?It's asymmetrical!

"How many years has that Miss Jiang been dead," An Guogong pointed his nose and cursed, "You bastard want to tear down the old man's platform so much, why don't you go down and get that Miss Jiang back for the old man?"

Master Ji shrank his head and made a quail shape: "..." This...who has the ability to do it?
"Besides, Brother Yan knows the pearl with the eye of wisdom, but brother Yan is not the only one who knows the pearl with the eye of wisdom." An Guogong glanced at him, said, and frowned, "I know that Li Datou in Longxi also fell in love with Jiang Fourth Miss is Xuan Jing's daughter-in-law..."

The shocked Master Ji blurted out again in shock: "Is he blind too?"

With the sound of "pa", the face that was missing a slap quickly swelled up.

Well, it's symmetrical again.Master Ji covered his face and wanted to cry, but no tears: Dad never disappoints with a bowl of water.

"Do you think Li Datou's vision is worse than your bastard?" An Guogong couldn't help kicking him, "A father knows how to find a wife for his son, why can't you do anything? Not too soon Get up for the old man to snatch his daughter-in-law back?"
