Chapter 278 Pan Qiaolian is here
"Brother Gao, I've been looking forward to you!"
At this moment, Wu Haogu's mansion welcomed Gao Qiu, the distinguished guest. He has been busy recently and has a similar comparison with Wu Haogu.
The reason why he was so busy was the wedding of Duan Zhao Ji. The marriage between Zhao Ji and Wang, the daughter of Dezhou Governor Wang Zao, was about to be held in June. This is a major event related to the foundation of the Song Dynasty!
Whoever leads the future Song Dynasty depends on the birth of King Duan’s son first, but Zhao Xu, who was seriously ill, died first.
Wu Haogu is the only person in the world who knows this secret! Once Zhao Ji becomes Emperor Huizong of Song, then Gao Qiu, the minor official in the Duan Prince's Mansion, will become successful.
Therefore, although Wu Haogu already had the position of the right troupe hall of the ninth rank, and was about to become the ambassador again, he still led Mi Youren, a fake Taoist priest, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, who were appointed as the chief official, to greet Gao Qiu in person.
"Dalang, why did you come out in person?" Gao Qiu was stunned when he saw Wu Haogu and Mi Youren coming out to greet him. Although he was from the Duan Palace, he had no official status after all. Wu Haogu is a ninth-rank military officer, and Mi Youren is even a ninth-rank civil servant.
"What did Brother Gao say?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "You are my eldest brother! How can I sit in the house when you come?"
Gao Qiu blushed when he heard this. He was a big brother who had received so many benefits from Wu Haogu, but he couldn't repay him. He was really ashamed.
Wu Haogu took Gao Qiu's hand and walked into the house very intimately, "I am not in Kaifeng Mansion these days. Thanks to you, Yuanhui and Duan Wang's care, I have to pay a few good respects to you today."
"I'm very careful," Gao Qiu shook his head and said, "Is it okay to have a Polytechnic?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Haogu smiled, "When will that Polydexing be opened? I'll come to congratulate you."
On the way back home with Mi Youren, Wu Haogu had already heard his students say that Polyde's singing and selling house was about to open. But he didn't take it seriously... There is still a lot of room for the development of singing and selling houses! Even if there are a few more companies, this industry will be a big blue ocean.
Moreover, Christie's album business is still in a situation where there is no "fair competition". Only Mi Youren and Zhao Ji are a little bit involved in the human sketches of Wu Haogu. Others can't draw at all, they can only copy them, so they can't draw "original" and only pirated versions. This is impossible to compete with the "Caodle" album.
"Dalang, you have the elegance," Gao Qiu said, and took out an invitation from his invitation bag and handed it to Wu Haogu, "Dalang, this is what King Duan asked me to hand it to you."
Wu Haogu took the invitation and saw that it was a banquet invitation for King Duan’s wedding.
"Okay, I will definitely come to the door to congratulate King Duan when the time comes." Wu Haogu paused, "After I have drunk King Duan's wedding banquet, it's time to invite Brother Gao and King Duan to drink my wedding banquet."
Wu Haogu’s wedding banquet naturally refers to his wedding banquet with Pan Qiaolian. Because Ximen Qing’s belly is too big, Wu Haogu is now in a hurry to marry Pan Qiaolian. Only by marrying a wife can he take a concubine.
Gao Qiu smiled: "Oh? The days have been decided?"
"Not yet." Wu Haogu's ancient saying, "I'm just back today and haven't had time to arrange this."
"Then I'll take time to go to Pan's mansion with Lady Gao and discuss with Gongsun Pan?"
"Okay, that's a good job."
"By the way, there are two friends from the Liao Kingdom who want to introduce them to you." Wu Haogu said with a smile.
"Friends from Liao Kingdom?"
Gao Qiu was stunned. He knew that Wu Haogu had a secret mission to go to Liao Kingdom before, but this matter had nothing to do with him, right?
Wu Haogu looked at Gao Qiu, who was a little stunned, and thought to himself: Don’t think of running away in this matter... You will be the Grand Marshal Gao in the future. It will always be beneficial to know a few people who truly know the soldiers.
In addition, there seems to be no secret agency in the Song Dynasty to collect foreign information. Maybe Zhao Ji can be encouraged to get a "Military Bureau" out and hand it over to Gao Qiu in the future. It would be nice to ask him to be a "Boss Gao".
As he spoke, Wu Haogu had already pulled Gao Qiu and Mi Youren into his inner living room. Now that Jin Ping'er's little spy is not here, Wu Haogu happened to talk about some private matters with Gao Qiu and Mi Youren.
After the three of them sat down, the female envoy in the mansion brought the fragrant Yunwu tea. After the female envoy left, Wu Haogu sighed and said to Mi Youren: "Yuanhui, do you still remember Ximen Qing?"
"Sister Ximen?" Mi Youren reacted quickly and immediately understood what was wrong. He asked with a smile, "Teacher, are you and her..."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu stared at Wu Haogu, the "honest child".
"Yes!" Wu Haogu nodded, "She... has it!"
"Have you?" asked Mi Youren, "What's the point?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant?" asked Mi Youren, "Are you... taking her as a concubine?"
"not yet……"
"Not yet?" Mi Youren looked at Wu Haogu with admiration, "Teacher, you are so amazing, the students admire you very much."
Mi Youren is also a general and often walks around. How can he not tell what kind of woman Ximen Qing is?
That is not a woman in the world, but a hero in the martial arts world! There is no problem with Wu Haogu marrying her with his identity. They obviously had a crush on her. But it was difficult to take her as a concubine. Now Wu Haogu didn't even give her a concubine, so he made her belly bigger. This... is so amazing.
"Present?" Wu Haogu looked at Mi Youren, "Yuanhui, do you think the Eighteenth Sister would agree to me as my concubine?"
"Promise you to take a concubine?" Mi Youren burst out laughing, "How is that possible? Pan Shiba is so fierce! You are not a prince or an important official in the court..."
Is Pan Qiaolian very fierce?
Is Ximen Qing so fierce? She is a female hero who can kill and set fire!
Wu Haogu suddenly realized that he seemed to be a bit too much! It's just that he is lustful, uh, it can't be considered lustful, he's just responsible for women. Pan Qiaolian is a childhood sweetheart who was originally Wu Dalang, so he can't take other people's belongings, right? As for the female hero Ximen who was born in a free love life, how can she give up?
But the question is why I always provoke such a fierce woman?
"Is there no way?" Wu Haogu looked at Mi Youren and Gao Qiu, "Yuanhui, Brother Gao, you have to think of a solution for me."
"How?" Mi Youren looked at his teacher with some sympathy.
Taking a concubine... In fact, Mi Youren is very experienced. Although he has not officially gotten married, he has already had a lot of concubines. However, his concubines are all girls from poor families, but there is no female hero who kills and sets fire.
Now Wu Haogu married Pan Qiaolian, who is considered fierce in the circle of celebrity socialites in Kaifeng Prefecture, and on the other hand, it made the girl Ximen's belly bigger.
Can this be easily done?
Gao Qiu didn't know how fierce Pan Qiaolian was, he was not familiar with Pan Qiaolian, but he thought Pan Qiaolian was quite obedient in front of King Duan. Moreover, he didn't know that Ximen Qing was a female hero who killed and set fire. So he laughed.
"Da Lang, this is easy." Gao Qiu said, "Women are just a knife-like mouth and a slander. When they were not with you, they really became yours. They still marry a chicken and a dog. They are like this? This is the case with my wife. Now I have taken several concubines from my brother, but I haven't been furious when I see her."
Gao Qiu's wife originally thought that she would be poor for the rest of her life and would have to worry about the house of her three sons in the future. But now Gao Qiu suddenly became King Duan's confidant, and King Duan was a hot topic in inheriting the throne... That's great, the gift-giving people almost broke the threshold of the Gao family. But what are she not satisfied with?
"Brother Gao means to marry the eighteenth sister first, and then tell her about Sister Ximen?"
Gao Qiu nodded: "Yes, yes, that's it. What tricks can she have after cooking raw rice?"
"Yuanhui, what do you think?"
"Ah," Mi Youren nodded, "That's all. The Eighteenth Sister must marry her, otherwise it will be difficult for the Pan family to explain."
Behind Pan Qiaolian is the Pan family general. Wu Dalang's identity is already a high-spirited person to marry Pan Qiaolian. If he makes some more trouble and loses his marriage, then Pan family generals will regard Wu Haogu as an enemy.
According to Mi Youren's experience, marriages from wealthy families have never been a matter of the couple themselves, but a marriage between the two families. Wu Haogu is as easy as getting promoted and making money now, and he is also a wealthy family. If he could take the Pan family together, at least the Pan family would not care how many concubines he has.
Of course, for the Ximen family in Yanggu, Ximen Qing’s status is not the most important thing. The most important thing is what benefits can Wu Haogu, the son-in-law, bring to the "heroes" of the Ximen family?
With common and sufficient interests, the Wu family, Pan family, Ximen family, Mi family, Ji family, Murong family, Gao family and other families can form a close alliance and become the core of the future Lighthouse Free City...
Wu Haogu thought about it and asked again: "Then before Sister Ximen and I worship the world, what's going on with Sister Ximen..."
"Can't say it," Mi Youren said firmly, "You can't say it! If you want to say it, you have to brag about your marriage with Sister No. 18!"
He had just said the word "blow", and outside the door, a servant from the Wu family came to report: "Da Langjun, the eighteenth sister of the Pan family is here."
Pan Qiaolian is here? It’s really said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Wu Haogu quickly stood up and bowed to Gao Qiu, "Brother Gao later, wait for me to say a few words to Sister No. 18."
He had to go and see if Pan Qiaolian was wearing men's clothing or women's clothing and ran to her husband's house without passing through the door. It would be fine if it was wearing men's clothing. Just think she was Brother Pan and she would drink and have a meal together later. If it was wearing women's clothing, Wu Haogu could only discuss the major marriage with Pan Qiaolian.
