Chapter 45: Marquis of Wuxiang
Yang Ning was still surprised and saw someone leading someone into the mourning hall. This man was only in his thirties, with a very handsome appearance in his brocade clothes and jade robe, but his face was a little pale. When he was walking, Yang Ning saw his steps were weak, his eyes were dull, and he had no spirit, so he knew that this man was extremely weak.
The Marquis of Wuxiang entered the mourning hall, glanced at Yang Ning who was kneeling beside him, took off his crown and hat, but went forward and bowed, then turned around and asked General Manager Qiu next to him, "Madam, may she meet a guest?"
"When returning to the Marquis of Wuxiang, the grandmother was unwell and could not see the guests." Mr. Qiu said respectfully: "Please go to the Yatang for tea." He looked back at Yang Ning, waved his hand, and signaled Yang Ning to follow him.
The Marquis of Wuxiang carried his hands on his back and coughed, and then he came out of the mourning hall under the guidance of General Manager Qiu.
"Is this Wuxiang Marquis?" Yang Ning came to his senses and asked Duan Canghai behind him: "We have a engagement with him?"
Duan Canghai nodded and said, "Wuxiang Marquis is one of the four marquises of the Great Chu, just like our Jinyi Marquis, and is hereditary. This marriage was decided by the old marquis and the old marquis of Wuxiang when they were alive."
"In this way, the old Marquis of Wuxiang is no longer alive?" Yang Ning asked.
He saw that the Wuxiang Marquis in front of him was only in his early thirties. Since he had inherited the throne of marquis, the old Marquis of Wuxiang naturally passed away.
Duan Canghai said: "Yes, the old marquis of Wuxiang has passed away for many years, only two years later than our old marquis. The two old marquis were friends of life and death during their lifetime."
Yang Ning had to ask again, and Duan Canghai said anxiously: "Criminal, you can't delay it. When the Marquis of Wuxiang went to the Yatang, he must have come to see you. You should go there quickly, I'm afraid he has something to say to you."
Yang Ning was worried, and he didn't want a father-in-law to pop out of nowhere, so he could only get up and go out. He saw General Manager Qiu leading the Marquis of Wuxiang not far away, looking here from time to time. When Yang Ning followed, General Manager Qiu got off easily.
When Yang Ning entered the elegant hall, Wuxiang Hou was already sitting on the chair with a big golden sword. Manager Qiu had already asked someone to serve tea. He stood by the side and waved to Yang Ning again, signaling Yang Ning to go over.
Yang Ning could only go forward. Wuxiang Hou sat on the chair, but he didn't look at Yang Ning. He had a Pixiu carved from white jade in his hand. The jade was round and pure in color. It looked like a top-notch color. While playing with the Pixiu in the book, Wuxiang Hou asked without raising his head: "Why did you come back? I heard that he ran out and was caught?"
When Yang Ning heard his voice, he felt weak in his qi and was even more sure that this person was in extremely poor health. Although he knew that there were many rules for aristocratic families like this, he didn't know what rules were. He was wondering if he wanted to answer, and General Manager Qiu was already smiling and said: "Mr. Marquis Mingjian, it has been a few days since the prince came back. It is auspicious and heavenly appearance, and there is no danger."
"Auspicious people and heavenly stars?" Wuxiang Hou raised his eyes, glanced at Yang Ning, and sneered: "How come I can't tell where he is auspicious people? You see, he looks dejected. If the heavenly stars are like this, God will be too cowardly."
Mr. Qiu was stunned, obviously not expecting that the Marquis of Wuxiang would say this.
Although Yang Ning is a junior and a future son-in-law, it is only a matter of time before Yang Ning inherits the title of Jinyi Marquis. In any case, Wuxiang Marquis should not ridicule in person.
"The Marquis said that right. If my father passed away, if I looked happy, I would see the ghost." Yang Ning was a little annoyed, and he raised his head slightly, and did not look at the Marquis of Wuxiang. "If the auspicious people are declining, sometimes you can really see the clues from your face."
He said this, but he thought to himself that you, a guy, have a bad face, have nothing to do with Ji Rencai.
Wuxiang Hou was stunned, and naturally he didn't expect Yang Ning to reply like this. He looked up at Yang Ning and sneered: "He still has a bit of temper."
At this time, someone had already served tea. Wuxiang Hou picked up the teacup, took a sip, then spit it out, cursing, "What kind of tea is this? Is it for people to drink?" He pushed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table next to it, and the tea water splashed everywhere, and the tea table was wet. Manager Qiu hurriedly said, "I won't clean it up yet." He smiled at Wuxiang Hou and said, "Mr. Marquis, this is the Yunwu tea you like to drink the most on weekdays. Today, I am afraid it's a bad taste."
"What Yunwu tea?" Wuxiang Hou said angrily: "Yunwu tea should be brewed with rootless rainwater. What water are you using? It is also a Marquis family, and you don't understand these little rules? I said to Mr. Qiu, these people in your mansion have no rules from top to bottom, and Qi Jing has no eyesight. They can pick up some rustic things in this way. What can I do? I can't even make a tea. I really can't go back and send you some tea-making from my mansion."
Manager Qiu still smiled and said, "It's a villain who is not well trained, so he should be careful in the future."
Yang Ning wanted to refute a few words, but he thought that there was no need to argue with him for a cup of tea, so he could barely hold it back.
The Marquis of Wuxiang continued to play with the Pixiu in his hand and asked, "What is the disease of the Madam? What is the point? I am here today to meet her."
"The Marquis is intent, but the Grandmaster has already said that no matter who it is, there will be no guests for the time being." Mr. Qiu said: "If the Marquis wants to see the Grandmaster, I am afraid he will have to wait for a few days."
"Who is the master of your marquis's mansion now?" Wuxiang Hou said: "It's not your third wife, right? The dignified marquis' mansion has to rely on a woman to take charge of the overall situation. If this is to be spread, wouldn't it make people laugh?" He twisted his body and sat comfortably, looking at General Manager Qiu: "There is no man in your Qi family who can take responsibility?"
When Yang Ning heard this, he could no longer bear it.
Yang Ning has also seen the Qi family's elders and young people, and knows that looking at the Qi family, there is no real man who can stand alone now.
If the Marquis of Wuxiang only despised the male members of the Qi family, Yang Ning would not only not be disgusted, but instead felt a little annoyed when he saw the Marquis of Wuxiang, but he was a little annoyed when he heard the Marquis of Wuxiang's words full of contempt for Gu Qinghan.
He knew that Gu Qinghan's current situation was very difficult. It was not easy for a woman to support a marquis' mansion. The marquis of Wuxiang stood and spoke without a pain in his back. It was really disgusting. Although it was difficult to directly refute, he still sneered.
He deliberately let the Marquis of Wuxiang hear this sneer, and the Marquis of Wuxiang will naturally not be unable to hear it. He immediately glanced at Yang Ning and sneered: "What are you sneering? Do you think what this Marquis said is wrong?"
Yang Ning didn't look at him, and even ignored him.
"It's true." The Marquis of Wuxiang was already a little angry: "It's said that the Qi family raised a brainless idiot, and it seems that they have not made any progress now." He snorted coldly, and Mr. Wenqiu said: "By the way, can someone be sent from the palace? You Marquis of Jinyi have passed away, and the Emperor will never have any intention."
Manager Qiu said awkwardly: "Go back to the Marquis, so far... no one has come from the palace to this day."
"The funeral will be held in a few days, and no one has been sent yet?" Wuxiang Hou's eyes turned slightly, "Half Zhongyi and Jindao Hou have been here?"
"The Jindao Hou came over on the day of the spirit setting up." Mr. Qiu said: "The Zhongyi Hou... the Zhongyi Hou's Mansion also sent someone here."
"Send someone?" Wuxiang Hou raised one hand and touched his chin and beard, "Are you saying that Zhongyi Hou himself did not come?"
Mr. Qiu said: "Mr. Zhongyi did not come here in person. Maybe... maybe something was delayed."
"Have you delayed?" Wuxiang Hou smiled faintly and said, "This mourning hall has been set up for more than ten days. The Zhongyi Hou's mansion is not 108,000 miles away. What can I do if I delay it?" He sat up straight, put away the Pixiu in his hand, coughed twice, and said, "Mr. Qiu, since the Madam is not here, I don't have time to run here every three days. You can tell me a message to Madam Xiang of this Hou."
"The Marquis has any instructions, please tell me!"
Wuxiang Hou said: "It's nothing else, it's just for the engagement between our two families."
"Oh?" Mr. Qiu said hurriedly: "Mr. Marquis, please forgive me for saying that the general has not yet been funeral. It should be... not suitable to say these things."
Wuxiang Hou said: "I naturally know that it is not suitable to say it, but some things should be early rather than late. If you delay it, it will be bad."
General Manager Qiu nodded slightly: "The prince's age is indeed at the time of getting married, and the grandma should have been preparing for this matter in her heart."
"You misunderstood." Wuxiang Hou raised his hand and said, "You Marquis Jinyi has just passed away, so why are you still married? How could you be prepared to marry your son shortly after you passed away?"
"What the Marquis said is, what does the Marquis mean?"
The Marquis of Wuxiang coughed twice, opened his mouth, and stopped talking, his expression seemed a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "I think that the engagement we had agreed on before should be discussed for a long time."
"Long-term plan?" President Qiu was stunned, obviously not understanding it, and asked carefully: "Marty, what do you mean..... The villain has not figured out your meaning. Is it because the general passed away? Is it necessary to delay the marriage? "
"Mr. Qiu, you are also an old man. Don't you know that your parents have passed away and you have been mourning for three years. From now on, you princess cannot get married within three years." Wuxiang Hou said: "Don't you understand what this Hou means?"
"Is the Marquis preparing to terminate the engagement?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and then he saw that Gu Qinghan had already walked into the door lightly.
Wuxiang Hou turned his head and looked at it, not speaking.
"Three Lady...!" General Manager Qiu went forward and was about to speak, Gu Qinghan raised his hand to stop, moved his lotus steps lightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "I just heard that the Marquis has arrived, and the tea he sent was not as good as the Marquis' taste, so I came over and wanted to ask the Marquis what kind of tea can enter your mouth."
The Marquis of Wuxiang coughed and said, "I am no longer concerned about it. This time I came here to drink your tea."
