Sweet Beauty Chapter 71: See who is cheating who

After all, this general Shi is a fourth-rank military general, and his father is only a fifth-rank official. Since the marriage decree has already been issued, there is no possibility of changing it. mind.

Speaking of this, it is possible that His Majesty already has candidates for several fiefdom princes and even his own draft, so the time from the announcement of the draft to the final selection list is very short. It was too late to apply for election and send their daughters to Beijing. The daughters of several selected expatriate officials also lived with their grandparents in Beijing.

So Jing Shu didn't think about love at all. Could it be that the Shi family still wanted to give Jiang Yu a concubine?

On the contrary, before she came to Xining, Dongying had been ordered by Jiang Yu to tell her about the background of the Xining frontier commanders and officials, so the history was different, and she immediately thought about the Xiangjia incident.

Xining's commander of the highest rank is a third-grade commander. Next, there is a vacancy for two third-grade commanders, and there are also vacancies for four senior fourth-grade commanders. This general history is one of the three commanders in office.

The commander of the third grade is Xu Chengda, a border general general who has been stationed here. General Xu has followed Emperor Jing Yuan to fight in the north and south for many years, and he can be regarded as a confidant of Emperor Jing Yuan. Xu Yuan, the eldest son of General Xu, has been raised in the capital since he was a child. Although he is seven or eight years older than Jiang Yu, he has been learning kung fu with Jiang Yu for several years. Before Jiang Yu went to the north to relieve disasters, Xu Yuan He followed Jiang Yu all the time.

General Shi Congshi was promoted along the way by local sergeants in Xining, but his military exploits were mainly made when he followed the Marquis of Anxi to fight against Xiliang, and he could be regarded as the confidant of Marquis Anxi. Shi Cong even married his eldest daughter to the nephew of Anxi Hou Xiangzheng, and the relationship was even closer.

At the beginning of this year, a commander Tongzhi died in the battle with Yuezhiguo in the Western Regions. General Shi kept staring at the vacated position of commander Tongzhi. He originally thought that because of his qualifications and his relationship with the Marquis of Anxi, That position must be his no doubt.

But at this juncture, Marquis Anxi was impeached, and the charge of impeachment was still ten years ago when he fought against Xiliang. At that time, many things, including some food and material arrangements, were handled by people. He, Shi Cong.

So you can imagine Shi Cong's anxiety these days. Unfortunately, he had dealt with Jiang Yu early in the battle of the Western Regions. He knew that he was an unpredictable and ruthless person, and he didn't dare to take him at will. Luzi, Wang An, the minister of punishment sent to investigate this time, has a black face and a serious face. He didn't dare to act rashly. That's why he kept using his brains, thinking about starting from the entourage brought by Jiang Yu and Wang An to inquire. some news.

After all, Xining is remote. He only knew about the impeachment of the Marquis of Anxi after Jiang Yu and Wang An arrived in Xining at the same time not long ago. . But his daughter's letter was also about the Mid-Autumn Festival. He really didn't know what was going on in Beijing now.

When Yuanling left, Mrs. Shi read the newly opened recipe and the advice on her daily diet, which were all cheap and vulgar, so she couldn't help but muttered to Mrs. Shi irritably, "It's just a ten-year-old. A little girl of a few years old, you don't know what the relationship is with the three young masters. You call her to see me and see what it is all about. It's not as good as the local doctor from the village... …”

Mrs. Shi also did not trust Yuanling's medical skills in her heart. She invited her to come over because she was a drunkard, not drinking. After listening to the old lady's murmur, she also coaxed and coaxed for a while, and then went to look for it. own master.

General Shi had learned from his servants that the doctor girl was very strict. He just wanted to inquire about the situation in Beijing, but he found nothing. Thinking of the letter from his daughter Fang, he was even more upset. .

Sister Fang said in a letter that the Marquis originally had the intention to promise Jiang Yu to Miss Xiang's heir, but the emperor and the empress dowager had already acquiesced. Who knew that on the day of the marriage, Jiang Yu would directly Tear the face and refuse to marry...

Mrs. Shi saw her master's face was ugly, and persuaded: "Master, things may not be so bad, you don't have to worry too much. Isn't there a noble concubine in the palace? After all, it was an old thing ten years ago. , When someone impeached, His Majesty was not good enough to hear it, so he sent someone over to ask. This is just a form. What happened ten years ago, where is there any evidence?"

Shi Cong nodded and pondered: "My daughter said in the letter that after the impeachment incident, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager still intend to confer the marriage of Miss Xiangjia to Jiang Yu, indicating that His Majesty still trusts Lord Hou, as long as they investigate the matter here. If nothing comes, the matter will be over."

"Only, I'm worried that this is all a trick by Jiang Yu. The purpose of this matter at this juncture is to prevent the Hou Ye from intervening in the appointment and removal of this Xining military post, and then close the Xining border. All the people in the command and envoy are replaced by his henchmen!"

But Lord Hou is far away in the capital, how will he break this game? He was really unwilling to let him give up, and what he was worried about was that even if he didn't fight for the position of the commander, with the current situation of Jiang Yu and Anxi Hou tearing his face, his current position as a commander would not be known. Can you keep it!

Mrs. Shi's face was a little unsightly, this...

However, she pondered this matter for a while, and at this moment she couldn't help but say: "This, the three young masters are also strange, Xiangjia's marriage is such a good thing, he would not hesitate to offend the prince and the concubine. Refused... However, Sister Fang said in the letter that although the person he was seeking to marry was only the daughter of a petty official, she was really stunning, could it be that these three young masters like beauty?"

Seeing her master frowning, Mrs. Shi knew that he didn't agree with him, so she smiled, "In the past, you thought he didn't care about women's lust, so I think those girls haven't caught his eye yet. I don’t know how many beautiful women are, how can ordinary women catch their eyes? I heard from Sister Fang before that Miss Xiang Jia is like a noble concubine, and she is a first-class talent, but the third son is asking for marriage You can't even compare to Miss Xiang Jia, you can see how stunning she is... So, ordinary beauty is naturally not enough..."

Speaking of this, when I think of the girl I used to think that my girl was pretty good, I felt attached to it. At this time, I really think about it...

General Shi listened to her muttering, snorted irritably, and said: "It's useless to say, which man doesn't like beauty? If there is such a beauty, which man in the world can resist it?! But At Xining Pass, you are afraid that you won't be able to find a girl who can match the appearance of the girl who followed that doctor!"

When Mrs. Shi heard this, her face darkened. She was furious in her heart, but she could only bear it. She also said, "Nothing in Xining, but not in other places? Isn't the Western Regions specialized in producing great beauties? Hmph, Didn't he refuse the marriage of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager for the daughter of a small official family, and he was not afraid of offending Xiangjia and Hou Ye? Just that idea, seeing him fall in love with another beauty from the Western Regions, Do you even dare to offend the emperor!"

These words made General Shi's mind move. This... Anyway, if you don't fight, you may lose everything. If you fight, you can't help the Hou Ye and the noble concubine to let out a breath. After a few years, General Xu retired, That location...

But before Mrs. Shi finished her words, she snorted again, "Speaking of the girl next to the doctor girl, hmph, I also inquired carefully, this one, I'm afraid it's not easy. , I heard people say, I can't say that this is also the person of the third son. It is said that because this little girl was born beautiful, she was attracted to and molested a few words in the field, and the person died suddenly the next day. , the government didn't utter a single word, and the matter was overwhelmed without any splash..."

"This Xining border general is still General Xu after all. He is His Majesty's confidant. If you dare not confront the three young masters, can't you think of a way to make General Xu confront him?"

Shi Cong frowned and said, "I naturally know the truth, but the general is someone who can be provocative at will, and I heard that the eldest son of the general has a good relationship with Jiang Yu."

"Hmph, General Xu is a wily man, but he can't stand his doting Madam Ru and the youngest son from Madam Ru Ru..."

General Xu's concubine Du Shi, who gave birth to his second son Xu Wei, has been in charge of the backyard since his wife died a few years ago.

General Shi looked at his wife, and after a few moments of thought, he suddenly became enlightened. He said, a woman's mind is indeed much more enlightened. He also knew in his heart that he could get to where he is today, and he was absolutely inseparable from marrying a lively lady. Suddenly, his eyebrows were no longer knotted, and he hugged his wife and praised her as a "good wife", making her think Help me to arrange carefully without mentioning the method.

Wang An, the waiter of the Ministry of Punishment, did not stay in Xining for a long time. He checked and copied the records of military salaries and materials and expenditure records. He also talked to many sergeants and generals of the year, and brought some volunteers to Beijing. The witness in the middle of November hurried to say goodbye and left. In this way, we can speed up our journey and report to His Majesty before the year before.

Jiang Yu will meet envoys from various countries in the Western Regions at a banquet in the border city on November 20. If there is no accident, a few days after meeting the envoys from various countries, he will send Yuanling and Jingshu to Shuzhong.

That's why Yuanling and Jingshu have been very busy these past few days, and because the envoys from various countries in the Western Regions are coming over, it has become more and more lively over the past few days, and there are even more people from the Western Regions. Merchants sell more types of goods.

Shi Liangqing, the only son of General Shi's family, and Xu Wei, the second son of Xu's family, were drinking wine while sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. But Xu Wei didn't know if it was because the wine was too heart-burning or because he was in a bad mood at first, he just saw waves of irritability.

Shi Liangqing glanced out the window, then persuaded Xu Wei: "Don't frown, isn't Wei Ping'er very good? There are only a few of the right families in Xining, and your father asked you to marry him for your future."

Wei Ping'er is another direct daughter of a fourth-rank commander who is serving Wei Mao. This Wei Mao has a loyal and loyal temper. She has followed General Xu for many years and won Xu Chengda's trust. The Shi family also intended to give his daughter to Xu Wei. But the Xu family chose the girl from the Wei family.

It's just that the girls from the Wei family are good at everything, but they don't look very good...

Shi Liangqing glanced downstairs again and said with a smile: "There are so many beautiful women in the world, Wei Ping'er is not good-looking, but she has a good temper. It's better to marry her than to marry a jealous jar. If you want any kind of beauty, just take it home."

Xu Wei snorted noncommittally after hearing his words, but his eyes unconsciously followed Shi Liangqing's eyes and looked down from the window. When he saw it, his brain was "bang", and his face immediately flushed red.

There was no one else downstairs, but it was Yuan Ling and Jing Shu who were standing at the door of the drugstore opposite.

There are only so many people in Xining Pass, and there are only a handful of beauties. These days, Yuanling and Jingshu are wandering around, and Xu Wei doesn't know who they are. Thinking of what his father said to him on purpose, and looking at Shi Liangqing's appearance of abducting a woman from a good family, Xu Wei felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

No wonder his father and his aunt asked him to have less contact with this surname Shi. It really isn't a good thing. It's just eating and drinking on weekdays, but now he wants to abduct himself into a fire pit?

Bah! Take him for a fool! At first, he wanted to give his sister to him over and over again, but he didn't fall for it, but there are few people who can play with him in Xiningguan, and he is too lazy to expose it. Anyway, it is not his sister. It's none of his business to plug this and that tomorrow...

However, this time it turned out such a vicious mind! Do you want him to go to death? He knew very well that the women below were good-looking, but it would be ruthless to deal with the disciples, and they were backed by three young masters, so they were simply unscrupulous. Of course, don't ask how he knew...

Xu Wei suppressed his anger, pulled a pair of usual playful looks, and said with a smile: "Liangqing, what are you always staring at the people below? Could it be that you have a crush on some girl?"
