Chapter 99: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Song Chenxu, with flowers on his head, held his head high, and rode a pure white tall horse through the street, attracted a burst of exclamations from young girls.
When he passed by Xian Ke Lai, several sisters from the Song family even ignored their boudoir manners. While waving handkerchiefs, they leaned on the window and shouted at him: "Second brother! Second brother! Second brother!"
Song Chenxu heard several sisters calling him, raised his head and smiled at them.
This smile is like peach blossoms blooming ten miles away. It is so beautiful that it welcomes a shower of flowers.
The Song family had already prepared a bouquet. Song Qingyue used pink, light yellow, and lavender roses to make a bouquet like a wedding bouquet, and tied it with a bow with three layers of blue ribbon. Song Qingyue lay down Shouted from the window: "Second brother, pick it up!"
Throw the conspicuous and beautiful bouquet directly into Song Chenxu's arms from the second floor.
The people watching the ceremony downstairs looked up one after another to see which young lady had such a pleasant voice. When they raised their heads, they saw that the girl had covered the lower half of her face with a veil, but just looking at her eyes, Then I felt that she must be a great beauty.
Xu Youzhong also followed the voice and turned to look at Song Qingyue. The breeze blew by and lifted her veil. From the side, he saw that she was indeed a fairy-like figure. Compared to Song Yaxin, who was engaged to him, she looked more beautiful. I felt pity for her coquettishness, coupled with her voice when she spoke just now, it made people tingle all over. He turned back and raised his eyebrows at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao glared at him displeasedly and whispered: "I told you, the Song sisters are all good-looking."
Xu Youzhong sneered: "People outside said that you were seduced by this concubine of the Song family. I took it as a joke. I didn't expect that, Li Zhao, you would also be here today."
Li Zhao chuckled: "If there is a good thing, the first thing I think of is you. What, it's not a loss to marry a daughter of the Song family, right? That boy from Ningyuan is not so lucky!"
Xu Youzhong chuckled and nodded. He didn't expect that Li Zhaozhen could find him such a good-looking daughter-in-law. He couldn't be more satisfied. She is the daughter of a civil servant family, and she must be better than the military general Jia Biao. The fierce girls are gentle and gentle, and just thinking about it makes my heart bubbling with beauty.
"Speaking of which, what are your plans for Ningyuan?"
Li Zhao sighed: "That wanderer, how dare I introduce a girl to him? Isn't this harmful to others?"
Xu Youzhong was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty, you still have such a kind heart."
Li Zhao raised his chin: "This is natural, my prince has always been kind-hearted."
Xu Youzhong shook his head and clicked his tongue.
Of course, Li Zhao didn't have such good intentions. He was just afraid that if the marriage failed, he would become enemies, and then he, the matchmaker, would offend both parties.
Jiang Yuanchao on the side was not familiar with Li Zhao and Xu Youzhong, but Jiang Yuanchao's father was the Marquis of Wucheng. Strictly speaking, he and Xu Youzhong both belonged to the military general faction.
But Jiang Yuanchao took the path of a civil servant, but he did not become an official through the formal imperial examination. At first, he got the Yinguan position because his mother was the eldest princess. Later, because of an accidental opportunity, an official of Dali Temple discovered his outstanding talents. He was promoted step by step by the emperor and became the powerful Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
In fact, Jiang Yuanchao's status has always been very embarrassing. He can't hang out with a bunch of clan members who spend all their time fighting chickens and running around as lackeys. He can't get involved with military generals and nobles. He has been studied hard for dozens of years by those serious people. Being marginalized and isolated by Qingliu, a civil servant who took the imperial examination and became an official, he has always wanted to integrate into the civil service community.
This time he married again, and it was exactly what he wanted to marry the daughter of Mr. Song Ge. This marriage came too coincidental. His mother, Princess Pingyang, had no friendship with Mr. Song Ge. He didn't know how such a marriage could just happen. on his head.
But now he knows that it was Li Zhao who was the matchmaker.
It was so unexpected.
Li Zhao saw that Jiang Yuanchao seemed to be preoccupied, so he didn't bother him. He had to be given time to think clearly about this kind of thing. He held the wine glass across Xu Youzhong in the middle, raised his glass to Jiang Yuanchao, and then drank it himself. After finishing it, Jiang Yuanchao looked at the cup in his hand and smiled helplessly. He shook his head, sighed, and finally followed Li Zhao and drank the wine in one gulp.
There were some reasons why he couldn't say no. The bait was in front of him, and when he realized it, he had already bitten the hook.
