Turbulent Times Chapter 740: Speaking about matchmaking and giving marriage
A few days later, Qin An Gong's mansion finally quieted down, and no one came to congratulate him anymore. Wang Junlin was summoning Shen Guang, Jing Tian, Ye Ying, and Wei Ziqi in the garden, and listened to their report on the current situation of Xiaoyu Theater and Wulin Guild development situation.
Needless to say, the Xiaoyu Theater has already monopolized the public opinion in the capital, spread throughout Guanzhong, and began to expand to the Central Plains, Hedong, and even Jiangnan. The martial arts guild has developed relatively slowly, but now it has gradually been recognized by the martial arts people of the Sui Dynasty. Its popularity and credibility have been greatly improved in more than four months. At least some activities are held in the name of the martial arts guild. Many martial arts figures will participate and agree. From this point of view, the goal of the martial arts guild established by Wang Junlin has been preliminarily achieved.
The things that should be said are almost said, and suddenly Jing Tian said with a smile that was not a smile: "My father-in-law is promoted, he is full of civil and military affairs, and all the dignitaries in Guanzhong come to congratulate him. It is the Dugu family, the Yuan family, and even the elected officials. Cao Qigui also sent someone to congratulate him, but there were only three people missing."
Wang Junlin smiled and said, "I only know two people, who is the other one?"
"It's not surprising that some father-in-law may not have remembered it." Jing Tian said.
Wang Junlin's heart moved. It seems that this kind of entertainment, if you talk about the original intention, Wang Junlin also hates it, but the thing is like this. If everyone does it, but one or two people don't do it, then the meaning is that It's more obvious. So if circumstances force you, you still have to do it.
What kind of person is Wang Junlin? Hearing what Jing Tian said, he immediately knew who it was, and he shook his head and remained silent. Shen Guang was a little curious. Speaking of which, this aspect should be his responsibility, but he only knew two people, so he couldn't help asking: "Which three people are they?"
Jing Tian said: "Yang Xuangan from Hongnong's family, He Ruobi from Shangzhu State, Secretary Lang Fangqiao."
Hongnong Yang and He Ruobi had feuds with Wang Junlin. Needless to say, Fang Qiao was the head of the thirteen poor officials, and he was also the one with the highest official position among the thirteen. When Wang Junlin beat Yang Liang at the beginning of the year, there were two An official from a humble family has secretly taken refuge in other important ministers or been bought by other powerful nobles.
In order not to make the emperor suspicious, but also to protect these humble officials, Wang Junlin has always kept a distance from these humble officials, whether it was Yang Jian before or under the current emperor Yang Guang, and no one else knows who Fang Qiao is. I don't know, Fang Qiao is the famous Fang Xuanling, so he attaches great importance to Fang Qiao and made a special confession, but he didn't expect Fang Qiao to act so decisively. Isn't he afraid that this will be considered as a cover-up by others? It is suspected that he communicated with Wang Junlin'an.
"No, Fang Qiao is not an ordinary person, there must be a reason for doing this." Wang Junlin frowned, and couldn't help thinking to himself.
Jing Tian only knew that those poor officials became officials a year ago because of Wang Junlin, but he didn't know who Fang Qiao was, so he couldn't help being dissatisfied with her.
What Wang Junlin didn't know was that Fang Qiao was favored by Yang Guang because of his outstanding ability and he was not from a powerful family, and he was regarded by Yang Guang as his confidant, and secretly helped Yang Guang do some extremely private things . And in this case, his relationship with Wang Junlin was too close, which would only cause trouble for the two of them.
Wang Junlin was thinking about explaining Fang Qiao's affairs to his confidants, when someone came to report: "Pei Shiju, the servant of Huangmen, is visiting."
Wang Junlin was taken aback, and quickly said: "Please." After straightening his clothes, he went to the living room. The day before yesterday, Pei Yuanqing had come to congratulate Wang Junlin on behalf of the Pei family, but Pei Shiju came to the door in person.
Seeing Wang Junlin coming out, Pei Shiju stood up, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My nephew is less than half a year old and has already become the Duke of the county. Congratulations!"
Wang Junlin smiled and said, "I'm bothering Uncle Pei, I really don't dare to be a junior." He asked Pei Shiju to sit down again.
After Pei Shiju sat down, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile on his face: "This time, the old man is here to congratulate my nephew on his promotion to the throne, but to mention a happy event."
Wang Junlin was greatly surprised and said, "I don't know what kind of happy event Uncle Pei is talking about?"
"I was entrusted by others to match my nephew." Pei Shiju said with a smile.
"A matchmaker?" Wang Junlin was stunned.
Pei Shiju smiled and said: "Although my nephew has a woman in his family who considers himself the hostess, the old man knows that the woman has never been married. Now my nephew has become a county prince, and he is in charge of internal and external officials. He has not yet married. This is a bit strange." It's unreasonable. Taichangqing Suwei's little girl is both talented and beautiful, and she and my nephew are a natural match."
Wang Junlin lost his voice: "Su Wei's daughter..."
Pei Shiju smiled and said, "That's right, is it true that my nephew doesn't like Mr. Su's family status?"
"This is not..."
"Since it's not that you don't look down on Mr. Su's family status, don't you want to, my nephew?" I don't know what benefits Su Wei gave Pei Shiju, but Pei Shiju said that he worked very hard at matchmaking.
"This is not..." Neither Pei Shiju nor Su Wei can offend easily. Although Wang Junlin is not afraid of anyone, he never wants to make enemies for himself unless necessary, so he is very careful when speaking.
"Since it's not, then this matter..." Before Wang Junlin finished speaking, a few more people broke in, but it was Steward Zhang who came in with two eunuchs. He said loudly: "It is said that King Junlin of Qin'an County will enter the palace immediately..."
Wang Junlin seemed to be amnesty, so he hurriedly confessed his crime to Pei Shiju, and followed the **** into the palace.

…
"Your Majesty, do you really plan to marry that girl Mingyue to Wang Junlin?" Empress Xiao felt that the emperor was really playing a trick, and she came up with this idea just because Yang Guang's cousin Dugu Mingyue came to say a few words. That Dugu Mingyue is a well-known naughty ghost, she can be believed in what she says, besides, if Wang Junlin gets together with the Dugu clan, isn't this kind of thing His Majesty has always tabooed the most?
"Queen, have you heard that there are still county dukes without wives in this dynasty? Wang Junlin's age is almost the same as that of Zhao'er, yet he is still unmarried. What's the matter?" All family members may have disagreements, but the Dugu family will never have a different heart, because the queen mother told me that the Dugu family follows the way of being a minister and will never plan the world. And Wang Junlin had no relatives and no reason in the Sui Dynasty. , I always feel that it is difficult to fully grasp it in my hands, if I can let Mingyue let him take root in Tai Sui and have children, I can use him with confidence."
"Would Dugu Changsu be willing?"
"I am the Son of Heaven. I have nothing to say in the Sui Dynasty. Although Wang Junlin has no family behind him, he has already become the Duke of the county in just three or four years. How could Dugu Changsu not want to?" What’s more, the girl Yue said that he and Wang Junlin are in love.” Yang Guang felt that Empress Xiao was a bit unfounded.
