Chapter 52
After being promoted, Zhao Shuo generously gave Wei Xiang a half month off and asked Wei Xiang to go home to prepare for the marriage.
When Wei Xiang returned home, he was immediately watched.
Dad, Uncle Third and Cousin's six eyes kept spinning on Wei Xiang, which made Wei Xiang feel like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Wei Xiang raised his hands and signaled to surrender: "Stop asking, it's really what Shenlong told me."
This time, Wei Xiang's words were not questioned, and the cousin of the Sect Master even asked: "What else did Shenlong say?"
Wei Xiang said very seriously: "Shenlong also said that our Wei family will inevitably rise within two generations and become one of the great Jin nobles!"
My father's voice couldn't help but raise a few tones: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Xiang spread his hands: "No, and Shenlong also said that there will be more than one person from Wei's clan who will enter the clan."
The third father and brother of Wei looked at each other, half of the joy that could not be concealed and half of the doubt.
"Xiang'er, this matter is serious?" The voice of the third uncle Wei Ke was trembling.
Wei Xiang nodded very seriously: "Not only the major sect will have ministers, but also the minor sect will have ministers."
The Xiaozong Qingshi mentioned by Wei Xiang was actually Wei Jie, the son of the third uncle, but obviously the father and brother all thought that Wei Xiang was talking about him.
My cousin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If so, I'll be relieved."
Wei Xiangsheng was afraid that these three guys would be complacent, so he hurriedly said: "Although a person's destiny is destined by the dragon, he also needs to consider the course of history and his own struggle. You can't be complacent because of this."
The father and brother trio looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Okay, you guys, you dare to talk to your elders about these plausible reasons!" The father slapped Wei Xiang out of the meeting hall: "Go to Shibo's mansion, and someone had already been sent over there to summon you yesterday."
Wei Xiang touched his shoulder, which was a little painful, and sighed.
Your father is your father after all.
As soon as he walked out of the convention hall, two figures came over: "Brother!"
Wei Xiang looked up and found that it was his cousin Wei Jie and his clan brother Wei Jing.
Wei Jing is eighteen this year, and Wei Jie is even younger than sixteen. However, two young men born in a family like Wei are already quite heroic. Wei Jing, who is older, has even experienced a life-and-death battle in Qiu Xi.
Wei Xiang was a little surprised: "You two don't practice martial arts well, why are you here for coming here?"
Wei Jie smiled and said, "Brother, the sect leader let us follow you in the future and let you teach us."
Wei Xiang touched his nose, his face suddenly became serious, and his eyes looked at the two little brothers up and down.
The little brothers were a little panicked by Wei Xiang's behavior. The two of them subconsciously stood up and did not dare to move.
After a while, Wei Xiang suddenly laughed: "Okay, go and lead the horse, let's go to Shifu."
Wei Xiang found that it was actually very good to have a follower. Domineering instructions can always make people feel the pleasure of power. It would be even better if these two followers were not the younger brothers in the family but two retainers who were randomly ordered.
The Mansion has arrived.
Many Jin officials who wanted to pay homage to the new nobleman gathered at the door, but Wei Xiang just greeted the manager who was guarding the gate, and then swaggered and took the two little brothers into the door of the Shi Mansion.
Soon, Wei Xiang met the Scholars.
"Wei Xiang met Shibo." When facing his future father-in-law, Wei Xiang's etiquette was quite appropriate.
In just a few days, the Shuihui looked much younger, and his vigorous and energetic appearance fully proved the correctness of the saying that power is an aphrodisiac.
The Shihui put down the brush in his hand and looked at Wei Xiang with a strange look. He didn't say anything for a while.
Just when Wei Xiang was already wondering if the old guy wanted to repent his marriage, the Shuihui finally spoke: "How did you know that Zhao's family will be defeated?"
Wei Xiang said: "Guess."
Shi Hui said, "How did you guess?"
Wei Xiang said: "Zhao Xuanzi has passed away, but Zhao's family is blindly optimistic. But Bo has just become the Shangqing, he will definitely not allow Zhao to occupy two of the six ministers. Zhongxingbo has completely broken up with Zhao's family. In addition, the princes represented by Junhou are also extremely afraid of Zhao's family. Together with the three, it is natural that Zhao's family was defeated unexpectedly."
The Shuihui breathed out and said, "Then how do you know that this person is me?"
Wei Xiang said: "There are actually quite a lot of candidates, but you are the only candidate who can accept Ke Bo, Zhongxing Bo and Junhou at the same time."
Shi Hui snorted and said, "So you mean I'm easily attracted?"
Wei Xiang shook his head and said, "It's because everyone knows that you are the hardest person to be attracted to."
The Shihui looked at Wei Xiang deeply and said, "Did you understand these things yourself?"
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "What do you think?"
The Shihui's eyes suddenly became sharp and said, "Since you knew this, why didn't you tell Zhao? Are you not a minister of Zhao?"
Wei Xiang sighed and said, "I said it, but who would listen to the words of a young concubine?"
The scholar was silent for a while and said, "So you asked Zhao Shuo to propose marriage to me to make a fuss about me in advance?"
Wei Xiang touched his nose and did not answer immediately.
The scholar sneered and said, "Why, I've been told to myself?"
Wei Xiang shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, the reason why I proposed to Shibo is because... Miss Ji Qi is very beautiful."
The face of the scholar became more and more gloomy and said, "So you are a man who is tempted by lust?"
Wei Xiang said seriously: "Who doesn't want to spend his life with a beautiful woman? What's more, Miss Ji Qi and my sister are good friends. I know very well. She is also from a Shibo family and is impeccable in terms of education. How can I not be a good partner?"
The Shuihui stared at Wei Xiang for a while and said, "This is how you come to my husband's command after marriage. If I come forward, Zhao Meng should be selling this face."
This proposal made Wei Xiang fall in love with him, and then immediately responded: "Xie Shibo is kind, but Wei Xiang doesn't want to be regarded as a person who rises to power by relying on his wife."
Shi Hui frowned and said, "Do you know how many troubles Zhao will encounter next?"
Wei Xiang said seriously: "Zhao Meng promoted me when Wei Xiang was not a member of the title of Wei Xiang, and even made me become the son of the Central Concubine. It is rare to be so respectful. Now the Zhao family is in danger. If I, Wei Xiang, actually betrayed the Lord at this time, wouldn't it be a minister?"
The scholar's eyes flashed, and after a long time, he sighed: "I can't tell you something clearly. But if you stay in Zhao, something really happens in the future, and I can't protect you."
Wei Xiang laughed: "A real man is born in heaven and earth, so he should be self-reliant, so why should others protect him? Shibo, I'm worried too much!"
