The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 328 Entering the game personally

Naturally, Weining would not criticize Huo Qubing. He had his own choice.

He smiled and said to Huo Qubing, "Why don't you take me to meet you?"

Huo Qubing smiled awkwardly and said: "The time is not yet ripe... Oh, little cousin, don't pull me, what are you doing?"

Weining didn't care about Huo Qubing's maturity or immaturity. He could tell that his cousin was a good fighter and a careless official, but he was a novice when it came to relationships.

Just before, he was bragging to himself, saying that he would win the battle and take me to find a woman, etc. Wei Ning seriously suspected that he was showing off, not a suspicion, but a certainty.

This really subverted Weining's view of Huo Qubing.

He insisted on going to take a look, which was considered as a way to give his cousin a look. He had already given him such an expensive gift. Could it be that he was greedy for his cousin's money?

There was no talking all the way, and it didn't take long before we arrived near the beam bridge in the middle of Chang'an City.

Heavy snow covered the bridge deck, and the willow trees on both sides of the river were whitened by the heavy snow. The bleak snow scene looked particularly enchanting.

A woman wearing a thick Luo shirt and holding an oil-paper umbrella stood on the bridge waiting for Huo Qubing.

She was a little surprised to see Weining.

Wei Ning looked at the other party. He had a good appearance and a bookish air about him. He met Wei Ning politely.

Huo Qubing introduced the other party as Xie Yunniang, a businessman who came to Chang'an for business.

Wei Ning did not keep staring at the other person, which was rude. He smiled and asked: "Where is the girl from?"

Xie Yunniang told Weining that she was from Shuofang Shangjun. Her parents and sister died early at home, leaving her to take care of the fur business alone. She came to Chang'an at the end of the year to sell the backlog of fur goods to Chang'an at a high price.

Logically speaking, there was no problem, but Weining always felt that the other party was not simple.

He smiled and asked Xie Yunniang: "How did the girl know my cousin?"

Xie Yunniang glanced at Wei Ning suspiciously, then lowered her head shyly.

Huo Qubing pulled on Weining and thought, little brother, are you taking too much care?

Wei Ning smiled, then clasped his fists and said, "That's too abrupt."

"Okay, let's talk, I'm leaving first."

Wei Ning seemed to remember something and turned back to stare at Xie Yunniang and said, "By the way, do you know who my cousin is?"

Xie Yunniang nodded and said: "Champion General Hou Huo, what's wrong?"

Wei Ning said: "What about me?"

Xie Yunniang said: "His Royal Highness, did the servants not do the etiquette well and angered His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wei Ning smiled and shook his head: "No."

"Talk slowly."

Wei Ning left with his hands behind his back, while Huo Qubing said to Xie Yunniang: "Don't worry about him, he is nagging every day."

Xie Yunniang nodded slightly.

……

Wei Ning returned to the East Palace, found Qin Ziyu, and asked her if she knew Xie Yunniang when she was in Shuofang.

Qin Ziyu's eyes darkened. Although her father was the prefect of Shuofang before, he didn't know much about an unknown woman from Shuofang.

Wei Ning thought for a while, then summoned the Imperial Army from the East Palace and ordered them to go to Shangjun to investigate Xie Yunniang and her family background.

For some reason, Wei Ning always felt that this Xie Yunniang was not simple. If she only wanted to contact her cousin for money, that would be fine. But the problem was that she didn't seem to care about money. Although her cousin gave her gold and jade, the other party didn't seem to care at all.

Then there is another plan, what is it?

This was what Wei Ning was most worried about, fearing that she would harm Huo Qubing.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Wei Ning went to Weiyang Palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was reading a book in Jiaofang Palace, and Wei Zifu was embroidering clothes beside him.

"Fourth aunt."

Wei Ning greeted Wei Zifu and went to the study room in the side hall to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He poured a pot of tea for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After sitting down, he said: "Father, my cousin has fallen in love with a girl." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, took a sip of tea and said, "It's a good thing, so I don't have to give it to him." introduced."

"Which girl?"

Wei Ning said: "A businesswoman from Shangjun."

There is no concept of family hierarchy at present, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not care about the identity of the other party. He said: "As long as the character is good, I will send someone to Shangjun to inquire about it. If there is one, I will get married in about a year."

"This brat should feel at ease now. Getting a wife and having children as soon as possible is better than anything else. You are already married, and he is still alone."

Last time Huo Qubing almost had an accident in the Kingdom of Shu, which frightened Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was so young and didn't even have any descendants. What should he do if he left like this?

Getting married early is a good thing.

Seeing that Wei Ning was about to speak but hesitated, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What?"

Wei Ning expressed her worries and then said: "I'm just a businesswoman. Why would I be neither humble nor overbearing when I meet my cousin? Even if I meet him, he can handle it easily without any nervous expression."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "You just think too much. Didn't you send someone to investigate? I will also send someone to investigate."

"You also said that the other party is a businessman and has come into contact with all kinds of opponents. It is not surprising that he has such a city. If I can cure his illness, I will meet a good girl."

Weining nodded: "Maybe."

……

In a mansion in the north of Chang'an City.

Xie Yunniang was dressing up in the mirror, and a maid stood behind her, carefully combing Xie Yunniang's hair.

"Miss, he is the prince."

"What are we going to fight with him for? Don't do anything stupid."

Xie Yunniang said with a faint smile: "Yes, he is the prince. Of course I can't fight him, and I didn't think about it."

"He will never guess what I want to do. Their brothers will break up. It's enough to see this scene."

Xie Yunniang put a pair of jade bracelets given to her by Huo Qubing on her wrist and showed off to the maid: "Does it look good?"

The maid nodded with tears in her eyes: "It looks good. Miss, she looks good in anything she wears... Wow."

Xie Yunniang smiled and said, "Why are you crying?"

"General Huo likes me so much. He may marry me soon. From now on, you will be the maid of the Hou Mansion."

"Aren't you happy yet?"

Xie Yunniang looked at the jade bracelet on her hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I won't go back to Shangjun to celebrate the New Year this year. I'll tell General Huo tomorrow that I can't go back, so I'll go to his house to eat, hehe."

……

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial army sent by Weining to Shangjun had already returned from the investigation.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Ning asked: "What did you find out?"

The Imperial Guards of the East Palace told Wei Ning that Xie Yunniang was indeed a businesswoman from Shangjun. Her parents fell ill and died early in her family, and it was her sister who raised her up and inherited the family's fur business.

But the strange thing is that her sister disappeared two years ago, and her whereabouts have not been found yet. She is registered as a missing person in Shangjun County.

Wei Ning listened carefully to Xie Yunniang's life experience and asked strangely: "Her sister disappeared two years ago? Where did she go?"

"Check again."

"Here."
