Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 5

Lord Qianlong originally thought that there would be a burly warrior, at least not as tall and thin as Fu Heng, so he glanced up and down with some doubts, and said:

"Originally belonged to Fu Cha's family. Are you Fu Xin or Fu Heng?"

Li Rongbao was about to answer, but saw the young emperor raised his hand to him, so Li Rongbao had no choice but to stand aside, waiting for his youngest son to speak with everyone.

"Back to the emperor, grass man Fu Heng." Fu Heng clenched his teeth, although he was sweating coldly, but he still gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee to Lord Qianlong, clasping his fists as a military general and replied.

After hearing his answer, Lord Qianlong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head while turning the finger on his finger, while pacing in front of the imperial platform, his eyes seemed to glance at the covered king next to the imperial platform. account, and then said:
"I know you. Get up and talk."

What the emperor said made everyone puzzled. Why did he ask who he was one moment ago, and now he said he knew him? Isn't this inconsistent?
After Fu Heng stood up, an accompanying imperial doctor came to look at his wound. Lord Qianlong specially gave him a seat to sit and talk.

"You are such a wonderful bear hunter. It's a miracle. I've made a note of it. Tell me what reward you want!" Lord Qianlong said to Fu Hengru when he returned to the Emperor's Terrace.

All the ministers were in an uproar.Immediately someone stood up and spoke for Nala's family:
"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks it's wrong. The preface of this game states that the one with the most prey wins. Although Mr. Fucha has hunted a rare animal, after all, there is only one. If the reward is given to him, wouldn't it be against Mr. Nala?" Isn’t it fair?” The person who spoke was a hale and hearty white-haired old minister, that is Chief Hacha, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and it is very appropriate for him to speak at this time.

As soon as Director Hacha's words fell, a courtier stood up and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty. I also think this is inappropriate."

Li Rongbao was watching his injury beside his youngest son, when he heard what those people said, he knew that they were bullying Fu Heng as a bastard, if Fu Xin was the one who hunted the black bear today, these people would never dare to say that.

Just about to stand up and speak, only to hear Lord Qianlong wave his hand and speak again:

"Okay, I've made up my mind, so I won't miss the reward from the La family."

After saying this, the voice of opposition from the ministers gradually weakened, and they retreated one after another, not daring to look into Minister Li Rongbao's eyes, and all of them shrank their heads back.

Li Rongbao patted Fu Heng on the back of the head lightly, and gave him an expression of "Go and thank you", and Fu Heng staggered and knelt down in front of the imperial platform again.

When he took a step, it wasn't that he didn't see Ama's expectant eyes. Of course, Fu Heng knew that his Ama wanted him to seize this opportunity and beg the emperor to give him an official position. He didn't know himself I also understand that this is the best opportunity to get rid of my status as a bastard, but...

Fu Heng took a deep breath, his face was extremely pale, he deliberately ignored the pain in his back, and said decisively to the aloof Lord Qianlong:
"Your Majesty, Caomin wants to ask for a marriage for himself."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was no sound in the field.

Li Rongbao thought that his youngest son was crazy, so he hurried to Fu Heng's side, trying to remedy him: "My Majesty, Gouzi came back to face the saint for the first time, he was flustered, and he didn't choose what to say. He actually wanted to ask for an errand for himself."

Lord Qianlong sat back on the throne thoughtfully, and looked at the pair of father and son with different expressions with great interest. Fu Heng's handsome face was full of stubbornness and determination, while Li Rongbao's brows were raised, his anger beyond words.

Letting himself adjust to the most comfortable position, Lord Qianlong asked Fu Heng with a smile that was not a smile:
"Fu Heng, did you say you wanted a marriage or a job?"

Li Rongbao secretly kicked Fu Heng's ankle to make him not be confused. Unexpectedly, Fu Heng just took a step forward calmly, and said to Lord Qianlong very clearly:
"Back to the emperor, Caomin wants to ask for a marriage for himself!"

Lord Qianlong nodded for Fu Heng's courage with a genuine expression on his face; while Li Rongbao closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

"Which kind of family do you want to ask for, let me tell you." Lord Qianlong looked at Fu Heng's young and handsome face, and couldn't help being a little curious. Which family's marriage could make this kid run to hunt bears regardless of the danger of his life? And decisively gave up an opportunity that was enough for him to get rid of his status as a bastard.

Without dodging or dodging, Fu Heng said firmly to Lord Qianlong:
"Back to the emperor, what Cao Min wants is Tong Jia Wanrou, the sixth lady of Anping Duke's Mansion."

"..."

Having calmed down just now, Tong Wanrou, who sat down, suddenly heard her name suddenly appear in his mouth, she couldn't help being shocked, when she received the questioning look from her brother Tong Youqing, she also expressed helplessly that she didn't know anything what.

After hearing Fu Heng's words, Tong Ruzhang also stood up from his seat in shock, pointed at Fu Heng, and then pointed at his own daughter. After Heng looked it up from top to bottom, he clasped his fists at Lord Qianlong and said:

"Your Majesty, although Wanrou, the six daughters of the old official, is unmarried, but..."

Tong Ruzhang finished half of his sentence, but found that he couldn't continue.The reason is that although he and his wife are interested in the sixth son of the Fucha family, they have not yet engaged in a marriage contract. If they directly dislike Fu Heng's status as a concubine, but he is also a member of the Fucha family. But if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the emperor would really agree to Fu Heng's request and marry the daughter he held in his palm to a bastard with an uncertain future.

It's not that Lord Qianlong didn't see the reluctance on Tong Ruzhang's face, but he didn't dare to speak too clearly because of Li Rongbao's presence. After turning his clear eyes around the faces of several people, Lord Qianlong had an idea in his heart Simply, he threw the finger at Li Rongbao to speak.

"This matter is related to the marriage of the two families. It's not good for me to just agree casually like this. I have to ask Ai Qing how she wants?"

The meaning of Lord Qianlong is very clear, just to ask Li Rongbao, your youngest son wants to marry another girl, but the girl obviously wants to marry your other son, the palms and backs of which are all fleshy, it all depends on how you choose.

Li Rongbao didn't expect that the final decision-making power would fall into his hands. He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at his youngest son and Tong Ruzhang again. Fu Heng stared at Li Rongbao with those eyes without saying anything. It was full of stubbornness, and on the other side, Tong Ruzhang also looked at him with an almost begging look, hoping that he could stand up and say something fair. After all, she was a prostitute, so how could she be wronged to marry their concubine.

Li Rongbao was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and said:

"Your majesty, Gouzi must have a deep-rooted affection for the sixth miss of the Tong family, otherwise he would not resort to such desperate methods. I... dare not make decisions for him, but if Miss Six is ​​willing to marry Gouzi Fu Heng, then The old minister will go to Tong's house to propose marriage on another day, and in terms of etiquette, I will never treat Miss Six badly."

As soon as the words fell, Tong Ruzhang couldn't help it anymore, pointed to Li Rongbao and said: "Li Gong's words put Tong Jia in a dilemma, if it is someone else, it's fine, but he is clearly... well, anyway, I'm not sure about this matter." disagree!"

Tong Ruzhang endured it for a long time, and finally swallowed the word "bastard" that came to his lips, and refused with a very firm attitude.

Hearing what he said so resolutely, Li Rongbao didn't blame him in his heart, he only hugged his fists to the emperor, and then retreated, saying that he would no longer speak, no longer interfere, and let the emperor decide.

Seeing them like this, Lord Qianlong finally threw the problem back into his hands. Seeing that it was halfway through the sun, if they didn't solve it, they might stay in the western suburbs and hold a bonfire party next.

One last look at Fu Heng, and then he glanced at the crowd. The delicate girl in the pink dress is really a stunning young girl. No wonder Fu Heng is so infatuated.

Dang even didn't want to make things difficult, and said with a final word:

"Okay, then I think this is the way to go about this matter. Although the parents' order and the matchmaker's words can only be carried out for the important matter of children's marriage, it also concerns the thoughts of the children. Since Fu Heng proposed this matter, if Miss Six If you are willing, I will fulfill you, and you will be bald forever, if the sixth lady is not willing..." Lord Qianlong looked at Fu Heng thoughtfully, and then said:
"If Miss Six doesn't agree, then let's forget about it. I can't help you do this difficult thing."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Tong Ruzhang immediately said: "My Wanrou will definitely not agree."

Lord Qianlong glanced at Tong Ruzhang coldly, and then waved to the pink girl not far away. Tong Wanrou was half-pushed by Tong Youqing to stand in front of the imperial platform, only to feel that her face must be blushing, having lived for 15 years , She has never encountered such an embarrassing scene, it is a little exciting, a little embarrassing, and there is a little... nervous throbbing...

"Miss Six, are you willing?"

Lord Qianlong looked at the uneasy pure and beautiful girl in front of him, even he unconsciously lowered his voice and asked her gently.

Tong Wanrou was under pressure from all sides. Her father, Tong Ruzhang, glared at her from behind, asking her to refuse immediately, but Tong Wanrou just stood there in a daze, didn't say anything, and was so impatient that the group of big men around her was ruined.

Seeing that she was too shy to speak, Lord Qianlong also knew that the girl had a thin skin, and it was really difficult for her to say whether she was willing or not in public, so he said again:
"Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, you have to give Fu Heng an answer. After all, he also worked hard for you."

"..."

The emperor had already spoken, and everyone naturally had nothing to say, and they all felt that this result was the best result.

After all, there are some things that can be said in private, but once they are put on the table in such an aboveboard manner, they will not be able to say it because of too much consideration.

Both Li Rongbao and Tong Ruzhang breathed a sigh of relief, but only Fu Heng and Tong Wanrou felt that things had gotten out of hand.

Fu Heng walked up to Tong Wanrou, and didn't ask her to agree to his request, but said lightly:
"If you don't want to, you can put all the responsibility on me."

After finishing speaking in a soft voice, Fu Heng bent over and was helped back by his entourage.

Tong Wanrou looked at his leaving back and didn't speak for a long time.

The first thing this man thought of was not himself, but her. He must have been worried that she would be interrogated by her family when she went back, so he told her in advance that he could put all the responsibility on him...

Almost dragged back by Tong Ruzhang and Tong Youqing, Tong Wanrou was depressed all the way, facing the questioning from her father and brother, she never said a word.
