Chapter 254 The purpose of the Hong family
The Hong family was still a guest at my house. They came for me and asked their family to accompany me for a while, but they couldn't always let them accompany me. After getting tired of my two wives for a while, I took them to meet the guests.
If I guess correctly, the Hong family has two purposes this time.
One is to thank me. Hong Guoli got better because of the news about me. Although this matter was not what I did, this kindness could only be borne by me. They don’t know the editors who write news, and even if they know them, they will not thank those guys they have never met before.
The second is for Hong Guoqiao's marriage. Didn't I promise the Hong family that if I couldn't think of a way, I would marry Hong Guoqiao? Now that I have become the prince-in-law, as far as common sense is concerned, I will definitely not be able to marry again. Even if the Hong family wants to climb up, they cannot marry Hong Guoqiao to me, so this agreement must be cancelled.
Both of these things are very simple, and the latter can be solved in a few words. The former is to receive a gift and receive a thank-you banquet in a few days. Half an hour is enough.
But looking at the Hong family's condition today, it seems that they would not leave so easily. Looking at the expression on the Hong family's face, you know that she is determined to win the marriage between the Hong family and the Gun family. I turned to look at Hong Guoqiao again. Seeing that she was very happy, I guessed that the Hong family's mother probably wanted to marry her to Gunhou.
I looked at my second aunt again, and when I saw her smiling at Hong Guoqiao, I knew that before I came, the Hong family and the second uncle's family had already talked about this. Looking at the extremely unhappy face of Gun Mao, it was probably the negotiation had already been completed.
I know this child likes Xiaochun, but marriage cannot be accomplished by liking it. Although I got the woman I like, it is not because I am so powerful, but because I am lucky. If I am not lucky and have no support from noble people, I am still a bullshit dealer now. Not to mention marrying Yuying, marrying a princess, being able to marry a rich lady is considered to be a smoke from the ancestral grave.
I don’t know if the lucky gun is good, I only know that as far as he seems, he has no life. With his current conditions, it would be great to marry a good girl like Hong Guoqiao. No matter how much you ask for, it would be greedy!
As expected, not long after chatting, the Hong family's mother turned the topic to this matter. Originally, this matter should have been decided by the second grandfather, and according to his seniority, he was the head of the family. However, the Hong family's mother never asked the second grandfather's opinions, but only asked my opinions. I didn't see what was wrong with the second grandfather, but I was really unhappy.
Nothing else, just because the Hong family's mother is too snobbish, she can only see me in a big green military uniform, but she can't see the elders of the Gun family who are closer to her. What I hate the most is this kind of person, but she is Hong Guoli's mother. I can't express my thoughts in my heart, so I can only smile and lead the topic to my second grandpa and let him decide.
Putting aside the snobbish Hong family's mother, Hong Guoqiao is really well-behaved and cute. Our Gun family generally has no resistance to such honest children, and the second grandfather is no exception. In addition, the second grandfather likes Hong Bo very much, so he agreed to this marriage.
The elders’ orders and the matchmaker’s words were decided. Genghou obviously had an objection to this, but he could only obey the arrangement. After the second grandfather agreed, the Hong family’s mother turned to ask me again. After seeing me nodding, she said with a smile, “Stop, I don’t have to go home! Stay here to serve Genghou’s study!
Oh, what a waiter!
The Hong family’s mother is really good at speaking. She makes her second uncle and second aunt smile with just one word. While admiring her, I also admire her face. Before I could eat the thank-you banquet held by Hong, she pushed Hong Guoli and the Hong family’s elder brother, hoping that I could find an errand for them in the army.
Hong Guoli is my brother. If he wants to come to me to do things, she doesn’t need to say anything. As long as Hong Guoli says casually, I will immediately arrange the identity of a guard for him. But I really don’t want to arrange it. This person is not upright and recruiting him into the army will definitely cause trouble for me.
"Auntie, don't you have a job?"
"Oh, don't mention it!"
The eldest brother of the Hong family immediately cried and complained to me.
"My job is tired from morning to night, and I still earn a lot of money! I have been working for five or six years. Not to mention buying a house, I can't afford to rent a house! I still live with my family!"
Speaking of this, he changed his mind and said with a smile.
"I thought that instead of keeping around like this, it is better to go to the army to work hard! Besides, aren't you, brother Rizi in the army? You are such a big official, you must need a few errands! I'll run errands for you!"
Let you run errands for me? Am I tired of living?
If the old Seventh Legion is still there, I am still a little lieutenant of the Seventh Legion, so I will definitely find a way to get him into the army. It is difficult to recruit troops these days, so it is not too easy to get good people into the army.
But now, the old Seventh Legion is gone. The new Seventh Legion is an elite unit formed based on the Guards Legion. Can he stay there? To say something bad about me, I am not worthy!
And don’t forget that now I have offended the royal family. In order to mess with me, the royal family will definitely send people to collect information and evidence that are not good for me. If I keep someone like the eldest brother of the Hong family by my side and ask him to run errands for me, if his hands and feet are not clean and someone is caught, I will be miserable!
But these words must not be said, at least when the Hong family was there, I could only lied that the army is in strict investigation and it is difficult to arrange people in. I had arranged one of my family before, but now I can only arrange one more, and if one more, I can't arrange it.
The relationship between Hong Guoli and me is there. Even if I don’t say it clearly, everyone can guess that if I can only arrange one, I will definitely give priority to him. After hearing this, the eldest brother of the Hong family had to shut up his mouth and let me talk to Hong Guoli.
I asked Hong Guoli, do you want to join the army? Hong Guoli nodded without hesitation and said, his life will be mine in the future, and he will do whatever I ask him to do.
To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable when I heard him say this. He thought that I saved his life, and from then on he owed me a life, but he didn't know that it was also my fault for him to become like that. It's my duty to save him, but he doesn't owe me anything. If I don't save him, would I still deserve to be a human being?
After finishing all the things I wanted to do, the Hong family was about to leave. Because I had something to talk to my family, I didn't keep them. After chatting about some gossip, I sent them away. The Hong family's mother kept her word and didn't take Hong Guoqiao with her when she left. The second aunt took her away, probably going back to her room to whisper.
After that, I gathered my family and told everyone about the fact that I wanted to marry many wives, including the two princesses, and that Wen Xiangwu and the emperor would support me.
In order not to worry about everyone and to prepare for what will happen in the future, I lied that this was a reform led by Wen Xiangwu and the emperor. The target of this attack was the royal family. Because it was hostile relations, and I took the lead in despising the majesty of the royal family, the royal family would definitely feel unhappy when I saw me and cause trouble for me.
