Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 79 Rejection
The Marquis of Yongning and the Duke of Rongguo are related by marriage. Marquis Jiang is honest and cautious in his words and deeds, so he is a good choice as the middleman between the two.

Duke Rong Guo briefly said that the eldest son had made trouble, and since Lord Jiang was the middleman, he could not hide the matter.

After hearing this, Marquis Yongning felt a little emotional, thinking that his husband and wife were once a loving couple who were in love with each other.

The thirty-year-old Marquis Jiang exuded the charm of a mature man, attracting cousin Zhao who came to the Marquis Mansion to seek refuge with his aunt. At first, Marquis Jiang sternly refused, but could not bear the persistent attentiveness and gentleness of his cousin Zhao.

The flower-like teenage girl adores and adores him, which makes Mr. Jiang very proud as a man. Although Qiao is well-maintained, the couple has lived together for more than ten years and has long lost the novelty;
So one day, Marquis Jiang could no longer control himself and his cousin Zhao, so he begged the old Marquis and his wife to take cousin Zhao as their concubine.

From then on, in addition to raising three sons and being the director of the family, Mr. Qiao no longer allowed Mr. Jiang to spend the night in his yard. Mr. Jiang could not help but beg Mr. Qiao to let him stay;
Aunt Zhao's constant gentleness for more than ten years made Marquis Jiang's heart gradually fall in love with her. However, with the deep-rooted religious etiquette in his heart, Marquis Jiang would never do the ridiculous thing of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife. Such was the case with Marquis Yongning. The couple lived peacefully for more than ten years relying on mutual respect.

After recovering from his drifting thoughts, Marquis Yongning took a sip of tea to calm down and said, "Don't worry, Brother Tang Xian, I will do my best to make peace with this matter tonight."

Prince Li was a little confused when he received the invitation from Duke Rong Tang Jingyan that day. He was an idle prince and he had never interacted with the powerful minister of the dynasty.

Last year, Princess Chen of Lijun asked Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, to propose a marriage to the Duke of Rongguo. Prince Li didn’t know about it. Even though the marriage was rejected by the Duke of Rongguo, Prince Li didn’t know anything about it. Know.

Prince Li and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship had always been good. Unlike Tang Sanye and his wife, they were not childhood sweethearts of cousins, but childhood sweethearts of cousins.

Duke Rong's invitation was sent directly to Prince Li in the outer courtyard, but he happened to be bumped into by Princess Li who was painting with her cousin husband in the study room. Princess Li snorted, "To be courteous for nothing is not adultery." Steal!"

Seeing that his wife was a bit unwelcoming to Duke Rong, Prince Li asked in confusion, "But the people in Duke Rong's palace have offended you?"

Princess Lijun is the only daughter of Jingtinghou, and she is also the niece that Princess Laoshou has always loved. She has been pampered and pampered since she was a child, and she has a cousin who is her childhood sweetheart who loves her. She has been living smoothly for decades.

Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, has been able to have a good relationship with Princess Chen, the Princess of Lijun for decades, also because Qiao has a good temperament and is tolerant and considerate of the arrogant temperament of Princess Chen, the Princess of Lijun, which has been consistent for decades.

Princess Chen of Lijun County also has the capital of being arrogant. Besides being a bit arrogant, she is also able to deal with daily life and guests of Prince Lijun Palace with ease.

The head of Roujia County was the favorite of Prince Li and his wife. He also saw that Tang Wensong was good-looking and motivated, so he asked Tang Wensong to hand over the handkerchief to ask the Rongguo Duke's intention. Unexpectedly, he was rejected. As you can imagine, County Li How angry the princess was.

Princess Chen of Lijun County did not want to tell her husband about her warm face and cold butt. "No, I just felt that Rong Guogong's post was too sudden, and I was afraid that the weasel was not well-intentioned in paying New Year's greetings to the chicken."

Although Princess Chen of Li County did not say anything clearly, Prince Li felt that someone from the Rongguo Palace must have offended his Princess, otherwise his cousin would not have spoken so harshly.

Prince Li of Prince Li calmed down his princess in a good-tempered manner, and said: "I still don't know why Duke Rong Guo wants to see me, so cousin, don't make any conclusions yet."

...In the evening, Prince Li arrived at Fanlou and found that Marquis Yongning was also there, and he was even more puzzled.

The three of them started chatting and eating and drinking. Marquis Yongning looked at Duke Rong and acted accordingly. When dinner was almost done, Duke Rong straightened his face and said to the prince: "Your Majesty, Tang is inviting you today because he wants to do something for you." The eldest son wants to marry the head of Roujia County, the prince’s family.”

Seeing that Rong Guogong had reached the point, Marquis Yongning also echoed: "Your Majesty, Jiang and Tang Xiandi are relatives, and he is also familiar with the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty. He is a good son who is talented in both literature and military affairs. He is definitely a good candidate for son-in-law."

Prince Li had also heard of the title of the crown prince of Rongguo Gongfu a few days ago. Not only was he talented in both civil and military affairs, he passed the martial arts examination at the age of only sixteen and was awarded the fifth rank of garrison. He was regarded as an extremely outstanding son in Kyoto.

Prince Li thought that his daughter was already 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, and she had reached the age of getting engaged. Even if she was reluctant to part with her, she still had to start seeing her.

Prince Li had only heard of Tang Wensong's name but had not met him in person, so he did not immediately agree to Duke Rong, "The prince of your house is a young and talented man, and I have heard about it; but I have always loved this only one." My daughter, the future son-in-law needs to be carefully selected by this county king."

Duke Rong Guo originally wanted to tell the whole story about what happened before, but when he saw that the prince seemed unaware of the past, he winked at Marquis Yongning and not mentioned it.

Seeing that the prince of the county did not refuse directly, Duke Rongguo felt that there was hope for the marriage of his children, so he quickly responded, "The prince of the county is right. Tang will let Quan Zi visit the prince of the county another day."

Prince Li has not met Tang Wensong yet, and Rong Guogong is afraid that he will talk about Tang Wensong's troubles now. Prince Li has a bad impression of Tang Wensong, so he should wait until Tang Wensong pays homage to Prince Li before explaining the details.

The three of them talked about business and continued to drink and eat. It was late at night before they went back to their homes to rest after talking happily.

After Prince Li returned to his palace, he told his princess about the marriage proposal proposed by Duke Rong Guo. When Chen heard that it was Duke Rong Guo who mentioned the marriage proposal, her temper suddenly rose, "The Tang family rejected us Rou. Jia, we are here to propose marriage again today, so our daughter has to be obedient and let the people from the Rongguo Duke’s Mansion come and leave as soon as they are summoned.”

Of the three children of Prince Li, he loves his only daughter Roujia the most. Both sons are brats, so how can the younger daughter be considerate.

As soon as he heard that this matter was still going on, he quickly asked his princess for details. After learning about the incident, Prince Li also felt that the Rongguo government had gone too far, and his previous satisfaction with Tang Wensong turned into disgust.

Within two days, Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, came to the door of the Lijun Prince's Mansion to see the handkerchief and hand it over to Princess Chen, the princess of the county.

Before Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, could explain to Princess Chen the purpose of her visit today, Princess Chen angrily took it as a joke that the Prince of Rongguo had brought up the matter of her children's marriage during the Rongguo Convention two days ago, and handed it to Mrs. Qiao with a handkerchief. listen.

Although Rong Guo Gongfu and Yongning Houfu were in-laws, the marriage proposal was handled by Princess Lijun, but Yongning Hou Qiao was the handkerchief of Princess Chen, Princess Lijun. Princess Chen had great trust in Mrs. Qiao and was straightforward in her speech.
