The devil is coming

Chapter 173 Do You Want It?
My granddaughter is very ordinary and you are blind. Isn’t it a perfect match?
The blind man was a little disappointed. He liked to plot against others, but he didn't really like being plotted against himself.
"Mr. Wen, the alliances that have been solidified through marriage since ancient times have basically broken down in the end."
In the contemporary Queen Yan's palace, there are many concubines who are used to marry into famous families, but this does not prevent others from entering the family.
Marriage is really a very childish thing.
Because the relationship is not strong enough, marriage is needed. Just because the relationship is not strong enough, it will definitely break down.
"You are different. In my life, I rarely make mistakes when looking at people."
The blind man sighed and said:
"I'm just a layman."
Wen Sutong stopped talking.
"Old Wen?"
"I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me to do?"
"Waiting for you to make conditions."
Blind Man Bei smiled and said, "What does this mean?"
Wen Sutong put his hand on the wall corrugation, stroked it gently, and said:
"For people like you, when faced with anything, you will not be the first to consider whether you can accept it. Instead, you will consider the stakes. This is your way of life."
"Then Mr. Wen thinks, what conditions should I put forward?"
"The loyalty of my Wen family."
The blind man shook his head and said:
"not enough."
"In the future, this is likely to be the newly acquired territory of the Yan Kingdom. The Yan people can conquer this place, but they will not be able to control it in a short period of time. I can always sit in this position as the Jiedushi Envoy.
Regardless of the bunch of trash in the Yamen now, if I really want to do something, these old bones can still do the job.
Rebellion is not possible, but it is not a big problem to control Chuzhou City and the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. Who should be abolished, who should be supported, and how to make things work, I have a clear idea in my heart. "
"continue."
"Loyalty, coupled with the loyalty of Chuzhou City and this land."
"do not stop."
"It's not loyalty to the Kingdom of Yan, nor loyalty to the Emperor Yan, but loyalty to your master."
"There's something inside."
"Actually, I would rather join forces with you than with your master."
"I'm blind."
"But your eyes can see more clearly than others. In front of you, I feel that I am the blind man."
"I will not betray my master."
"Okay, then I can also be loyal to your master."
"Why?" asked the blind man.
"Which one do you want to ask why?"
"I want to ask all."
"Yes, if I am loyal to Emperor Yan, not to mention that I will definitely be able to sit in the position of Chuzhou Jiedushi. In the future, he will be regarded as a memorial arch and role model for people, and he can also be enshrined in the court. Of course, he will be a high-ranking official with a generous salary. Down.
But to be honest, I am not optimistic about the long-term peace and stability of Dayan.
Although Emperor Yan's move to step on the throne was hearty, in terms of courage, skill and grandeur, the other three monarchs of the four eastern countries combined may not be the opponent of Emperor Yan.
But he was too eager, too eager.
The horse stepped on the family members and wiped out the power of the domestic family members, which of course strengthened the power of Emperor Yan. He spoke of the Tianxian, and really the power of the emperor overwhelmed the world.
But success is also the beginning of success, and failure is also the beginning of failure.
The Northern Army of Dayan Town and the Jingnan Army were originally two vassal towns, and even in terms of independence, they were infinitely higher than the Western Army that I had led.
Yes, when Li Liangting and Tian Wujing are around, these two troops will definitely obey Emperor Yan's orders, but what happens after that?
When the horse stepped on the family, what Emperor Yan got was the wealth, land, population and... talents of the family.
But what he lost was the human heart. "
"The concept of human heart is too big."
"No, not big, really not big. In short, has the Yan family ever failed the Ji family?"
For hundreds of years,
Whenever there is a war together,
The emperor of the Ji family went on a personal expedition, followed closely by the powerful nobles, fighting against the barbarians and other countries in the east.
"The family members have contributed a lot to the Ji family. Without the help of the family members, the Ji family would not have been able to sit in this position for so long. Maybe the family members are indeed a cancer for the country, but this is like me, a great official, a scholar-bureaucrat The same, too much, is not beneficial to the country, but everyone still supports the Zhao family and the official family.
The family has never failed the Ji family, but the Ji family has stepped on the family.
In the war that began immediately, even if the Yan army won every step of the way, even if the Yan army was invincible.
But once the family members are gone, new people and new families will come up, whether they are due to military merit or civil governance, they will take the place of the family members again and enrich the country.
and then? "
Wen Sutong gently tapped the wall with his palm:
"Everything in this world is mutually beneficial. Lords, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, kings. In fact, they all want something from each other. Just like when negotiating a business in the market, one must pay attention to benevolence and righteousness before the transaction is completed.
But when Emperor Yan swept this benevolence and justice into the ditch, what was left was just a layer of skin... buying and selling by force, or even plundering.
The ministers will no longer trust Emperor Yan, especially the generals in charge of the army and the new generals, because Emperor Yan has proven with his actions that he is not a monarch who can be trusted to gain wealth and honor.
The Great Yan Rebellion was born from this.
unless………"
"Unless what?"
"Unless Emperor Yan can live for another few decades, unless Tian Wujing and Li Liangting can also live a long life.
Unless there are people like Li Liangting and Tian Wujing around Emperor Yan's successor and his successor,
otherwise,
Emperor Yan died, and the world collapsed! "
"Old Wen."
"Ok?"
"Is your granddaughter smart?"
"Although my granddaughter is not good-looking, she is my direct granddaughter after all, so she is certainly smart."
"Oh." The blind man nodded.
"Mr. Bei agreed?"
"No, Mr. Wen still didn't say, why would he count the chips on us?"
"Actually, you have already given me this answer before."
"Ok?"
"When I asked you earlier, you said you had plenty of food."
"Yes."
"I have a lot of granddaughters."
"………"blind.
The blind man coughed and said:
"Mr. Wen is planning to cast a wider net?"
"Others don't know it, doesn't Mr. Bei know it? I'm just a memorial arch, with a bright surface.
In fact, who would take you seriously?
During festivals and festivals, the incense is very prosperous in the temples of gods and goddesses, but on weekdays, how many people will keep the gods in their hearts?
Furthermore, when people get old, they like to talk about gods and gods. I don’t believe in gods and Buddhas, but I believe in fate.
There are many qi masters in the Qian Kingdom. They open and close their mouths to make moves and patterns, as if the world is just a chessboard in their eyes.
I also like to play chess, so just treat it as my move. "
"As a granddaughter, she is suddenly two generations younger than you."
"I also have a daughter who has been widowed for two years. She is beautiful. If Mr. Bei doesn't dislike it, I will..."
"That's it."
Blind Bei shook his head. After all, he couldn't taste the Lord's taste.
"Mr. Bei can follow me into the house today to take people away."
"Isn't it a little too hasty? Even if the betrothal gift cannot be done with great fanfare, it is not so shabby?"
"Mr. Bei, do you want to delay?"
"No, the army has not returned yet. If it is the Qianjun who has returned, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Wen's efforts were all in vain?"
"I don't know much about military affairs, but I know how to read people. After seeing you, I felt that the one who came back must be Yan Jun.
Rather than waiting here for an inevitable result, it would be better to finalize the matter before the result comes out, which would make my Wen family appear more sincere. "
"What Mr. Wen said makes sense, but I'm still afraid of mistreating a beautiful lady. People get married in a glorious way, so what does it look like for her to be taken away by me like this?"
"Because I know very well that you should be leaving tomorrow to continue going south."
"Mr. Wen just said that he has no military skills."
"I'm not lying. I saw it."
"Since Mr. Wen knows we are leaving, why do we still persist?"
"Because you will come back. Everything you do in the city is paving the way for your return later."
"Transparent."
"I don't care about betrothal gifts or anything like that. Although my Wen family is not very rich, they still don't have to sell their daughters to support the family. There is only one thing that Mr. Bei can satisfy me.
When you take my granddaughter away, can you kowtow to me with your granddaughter? "
The corners of Blind Man Bei's mouth curved.
Road:
"Painful."
.........
People who are really particular don't like to do particular things the least.
In the hall of the Wen family,
There were a group of men standing, all the second and third generations of the Wen family, and two brothers of the same generation as Wen Sutong. Although they were sitting, they only dared to hold half of their buttocks.
Although Wen Sutong is now the military governor of Chuzhou City, looking at the rows of Yan soldiers standing outside the hall, the Wen family has not forgotten the cold feeling of the soldiers holding swords on their necks that day.
In fact, there were not so many soldiers. Although due to Wen Sutong's special status, there was indeed a Yan army guarding the Wen family's house.
But the group that came in now were not the guards, but the blind man and Wen Sutong. When they returned to Wen Mansion from the tower, they met A Ming and Xue San on the way.
A Ming and Xue San had just settled a small mess and were coming out.
After seeing the blind man, Xue San immediately went up to say hello.
Who knows,
The blind man's next words were,
Wen Sutong was so angry that he almost pulled off his goatee!
The blind man actually asked directly:
"Third brother, do you want a wife or not? As soon as you open the mouth of Jincheng, I will help you send your wife over later."
What a shrewd person Xue San is,
They are all demon kings,
Whether you usually scheme against others or not depends on your mood, but there is definitely a lot of scheming.
Xue San immediately understood what was going on and refused immediately.
then,
He hurriedly sent someone to notify Siniang and Fan Li, and led his men to the Wen Mansion to watch the show.
The demon kings were very happy and looking forward to it. Even A Ming, who had always been lazy, had a smile on his lips.
Being able to watch the blind man who always likes to scheme against others plot against his own body,
tsk,
comfortable.
Although they knew this was a marriage, they had no sympathy for the blind man.
After all, if you have a wife, what have you lost?
According to the devil’s thinking mode,
Family ties, friendships, etc., what do they count?
I just heard that the woman was not very good-looking.
The blind man stood beside Wen Sutong, with his eyes closed and his hands under his body.
Wen Sutong coughed,
Road:
"Call Yuexin to come out."
Some servants went down and shouted.
When hearing this sentence, the expressions of many Wen family members present changed.
Obviously, they probably know what their master is going to do.
After all, he is a child of a high family, and his knowledge must be much higher than that of ordinary people.
For a time,
The Wen family in the hall,
Some are ashamed, some are terrified, some are grateful, and some are... uneasy.
Ashamed, I still have some conscience.
To be frightened is to be confused.
Fortunately, it is no brainer.
The uneasy ones are the smart ones.
Knowing that Master Wang had appeared outside the city, the Wen family was marrying their daughter. If Master Wang came back later and liberated Chuzhou, wouldn't the entire Wen family really have no room for change?
The blind man still didn't speak,
But the soldiers outside the door also made everyone in the Wen family in the hall dare not speak.
scene,
very quiet.
But some people don't like this quietness,
A burst of suona sound came,
festive,
auspicious,
Although there are only two suona sounds, there is no loneliness at all when singing and harmonizing.
The ones playing the suona were Lao Xiaotou and his apprentice Mazi.
In Xue San's words, a blind man getting married, such a big thing, must have some cards.
It's a pity that I was too pressed for time and didn't have time to tune the kind of music commonly used for weddings, but it was good this way, as it showed more local flavor.
The sound of the suona made Wen Sutong squint his eyes in comfort, put his fingers on the coffee table, and gently beat the rhythm.
The old man is very happy.
After removing the psychological baggage and burden,
Anyway, I have decided to go all the way to the dark side.
Since you can't count on your great loyalty and posthumous reputation, why bother trying so hard? Don't really think that you won't be able to keep up with the heat even if you eat shit.
for a while,
Under the leadership of servants,
A woman in red came over.
When I saw this woman,
The gloating smile on Xue San's face suddenly solidified.
He pointed at this woman rudely,
Stuttered:
"She...is ugly?"
The woman is 16 years old. At this age, it is actually normal to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it is not unusual to marry earlier.
But in later generations, at the age of 16, she was still a little girl, and she was still very early to get married.
The girl is very tall. She is only 16 years old, but she is already 1.7 meters tall.
There is a touch of baby fat on her face, but there is a hint of immature charm between her eyebrows. Her figure is not thin, but she does not look fat at all.
Although she is 16 years old, she has already become a beauty.
In Xue San's heart, ten thousand horses of fan power rushed past,
Where is this damn ugly girl?
Just these long legs alone will fascinate so many people.
Si Niang laughed "hehehe" twice and said:
"According to today's aesthetic standards, if a woman is so tall, she is ugly."
In later generations, women were tall, with model figures, long legs, etc. This was actually a form of beauty.
But in this era, if a woman is too tall, she really can't get married. Because the wife is so tall, how can a man support his husband?
A girl who cannot marry is an ugly girl.
It would have been fine in the Yan State, where customs were rough, but in the Qian State, the people of the Qian State were very particular about the type of Xiaojia Jasper, and it was even more common for women of wealthy families to have their feet bound.
This woman does not have her feet bound.
Hey,
Grow tall and have no bound feet,
Of course she is an "ugly" girl.
Xue San's heart was bleeding.
Marriage,
Who is not connected?
What’s wrong with sacrificing yourself for the Lord’s grand plan?
Thinking about the blind man who asked himself specifically before, "Third brother, do you want a wife or not?"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! !
As for asking the blind man if he can replace it,
You fucking think you are blind!
Fan Li chuckled. He thought this woman was quite pretty. She would be a perfect wife for a blind man.
A Ming had an indifferent attitude. If this woman was really ugly, he would still be happy for no reason. But if she was obviously not ugly, he would not be interested.
As the indifferent men alongside Liang Cheng among the seven demon kings, they seemed to have no feelings about how beautiful women were.
Si Niang took off a bracelet from her hand. When the woman came to her and was about to enter the hall,
He reached out and grabbed the woman's hand and put the bracelet on her hand.
Although the woman was frightened, she did not panic.
Looking openly at this fourth lady who is so beautiful that even women feel jealous,
Wei Wei was blessed and said:
"Thank you sister."
Si Niang nodded.
The woman walked into the hall and saluted around:
"I've met grandpa, I've met all my uncles."
Wen Sutong pointed at the blind man standing beside him.
Road:
"Yue Xin, grandpa found a husband for you."
The woman took the initiative to walk up to the blind man, saluted and said:
"I have seen my husband."
After saluting, he stood directly behind the blind man.
There is no embarrassment, no hesitation, no sadness, as if everything is so natural.
"Tsk, this woman can't be the Silver Armored Guard, right?" Xue San whispered.
"Then Old Man Wen is not that stupid. It's just that the girl is smart and not pretentious."
"Ouch, ouch..." Xue San felt distressed, "A good girl has to be paired with a disabled person, ugh."
Siniang stretched out her hand and put it on Xue San’s head.
Road:
"Be good, no one will look down upon your disability."
"..." Xue San.
There is no betrothal gift, no matchmaker, everything is so simple, even a little too simple.
The blind man said:
"I am leaving."
Wen Sutong nodded and didn't leave any food.
As the blind man walked north,
The woman opened her mouth and said to Wen Sutong:
"Grandpa, my husband and I are leaving."
said,
The woman followed the blind man.
And he took the initiative to reach out and support the blind man's right arm.
"There are steps ahead, husband, please slow down."
Xue San gritted his teeth and said: "Torture the dog!"
When the young couple was about to leave the hall,
Wen Sutong shouted:
"As for my head, I'm not kowtow."
The blind man didn't look back and said directly:
"Keep it, I'll kowtow on your grave for you later."
When the Wen family members heard this, their expressions changed. On this "happy" day, they actually said such words!
However, today, the Wen family has been interpreting "dare to be angry but dare not speak", and they have been repeating it.
Wen Sutong was not angry at all.
Instead, he smiled and slapped the coffee table.
shouted:
"Remember to bring peach blossom stuffing!"
----
I am attending the Qidian annual meeting. There are many gatherings, so the updates may be a little unstable. Please forgive me.
Don't panic!
