Chapter 147 Ximen Qing proposes marriage(1/3)
Qinghe County.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, it belonged to Enzhou, Hebei East Road. After entering the Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Daming Prefecture. In the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to Daming Road in the Central Secretariat. In the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Guangping Prefecture, and now it belonged to Qinghe, Hebei.
This county is not big, with less than 100,000 households and a population of about 200,000.
The county town is also old and dilapidated, with high and low houses uneven levels, narrow streets, and bumpy roads.
The east of the city is a wealthy area. Whether it is facilities or buildings, it is completely different from the slums in the south of the city.
There are two wealthy families in the county. The Wang family occupied tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the county, which is a veritable landlord.
The head of the Wang family was kind and generous, and never treated tenants harshly, but he also gained a great reputation among the countryside.
Another wealthy family is named Ximen, which mainly focuses on doing business. Most of the stores in the county are owned by Ximen's family.
However, compared with the Wang family, the Ximen family has a much worse reputation.
This is mainly attributed to Ximen Qing, the eldest son of the Ximen family.
Eat, drink, gamble, and be proficient in everything;
He bullies men and women and does everything evil.
If you want to say that the eldest young master of the Ximen family is only 20 years old, he has made the county famous, which is not easy.
But this person has a good look, handsome and elegant life.
If you don’t know his reputation, people will praise him when they see him. He is really a great man.
On this day, Ximen Mansion’s backyard.
"Young Master!"
A servant hurried into the backyard and whispered: "I've found out the details of the little lady you saw last time!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly! Which girl is the one from?"
Ximen Qing, wearing a gorgeous costume, immediately lit up his eyes and asked excitedly.
A few days ago, while he was wandering around the county, he saw a young and beautiful lady appearing on the street with a glance.
By the time he chased after him, the little lady had disappeared.
Since then, Ximen Qing has been unable to think about food and food and can't sleep at night.
So, all the servants in the mansion were sent out and asked them to inquire about the little lady's background.
If you can find out, you will be rewarded.
No, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards.
It was only three days later that good news came.
“Yes, yes!”
The servant quickly said, "Go back to the young master, that little lady is the daughter of the Wang family. She is only 28 years old this year and is still unmarried."
"The Wang family...but the Wang family that is as famous as my Ximen family?"
When Ximen Qing heard this, his brows frowned.
This is a bit tricky.
If it is a young lady from a normal family, she will naturally have nothing to say and just go to the door to grab it.
No one can tell me.
But if it was the daughter of the Wang family, you could not do so.
Although Ximen Qing is a bit a bastard, he is not a fool.
The Wang family is of the same family background as their own. If they are forced to do so, they will probably not be able to afford it.
"Huh... Wang Family..."
At this time, Ximen Qing felt aroused and thought of an idea.
"By the way, where is my dad?"
He raised his head, looked at the servant below, and asked.
"Master...The master is out and checking the property in the mansion. Maybe he will come back until noon!"
The servant was stunned and asked carefully what the master was doing?
Of course, he didn't dare to ask what the master was going to do, and he could not let anyone else ask for advice.
After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly replied.
"Oh, that's it!"
When Ximen Qing heard this, his eyes rolled and nodded.
"Young Master, look at this matter, but what else do you need to do if a villain helps you?"
The servant asked, laughing aside.
"You go and get the butler to withdraw your usual money, just say I said it!"
Ximen Qing thought for a moment and waved his hand.
He knew that the other party was receiving his reward.
Fortunately, although Ximen Qing is a bastard, he will do what he says and will do what he does.
"Thank you, thank you!"
When the servant heard this, his eyes lit up and he kept thanking him.
"By the way, you can find a matchmaker and bring some people and gifts to the royal palace to propose marriage. Then you will say that I, the Grand Official of Ximen, want to marry their little wife!"
Seeing that the servant was about to leave with great gratitude, Ximen Qing hurriedly called him and ordered.
The two families have a good family, so it is certainly qualified to marry a daughter of the Wang family.
Before, Ximen Qing did not have this idea.
But then I thought about it, the Wang family’s little girl was born beautiful, and the Wang family’s financial resources were also supported.
If she is married into the house, then the Wang family's property will not be changed to Ximen?
As for the eldest son of the Wang family, he is just a nerd who can only read books, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"The villain understands, the villain understands!"
The servant nodded suddenly, but he paused and continued.
"But... Master, the villain also heard a rumor, just don't know whether to tell me it or not!"
He hesitated for a moment and did not speak directly.
"Oh, what news, come quickly!"
Ximen Qing was stunned and urged.
"That's right, Master, do you still remember that we met the little lady of the Wang family on the street a few days ago?"
The servant swallowed and asked.
"Oh, of course I remember, you can say something and say nothing, and let it go, and keep it aside!"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, kicked it out, and cursed repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, what the young master said!"
The servant was kicked and laughed, "That's right!"
"That day, the tenants of the Wang family carried a man into the city and said they had fallen from the sky. They did not dare to make their own decisions, so they sent them to the master's house."
"Then, the little lady of the Wang family who received the news came out of the mansion to watch the fun. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see the little lady of the Wang family, right?"
"This person who fell from the sky is amazing. The villain has found out clearly!"
"It is said that this man is eight feet tall, tall, big, tiger back and bear waist, and extremely strong, which makes the king happy, so he keeps him in the mansion!"
"So, the villain is afraid that this person will make trouble..."
The servant didn't dare to keep it in hiding again, and told it out like pouring beans on bamboo tubes.
"Haha, just a savage, what can I do?"
After hearing these words, Ximen Qing curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"As long as Wang Yuanwai agrees to the proposal of this great official, what qualifications does he have to interfere with, an outsider?"
"Besides, what if you have great strength? Can you beat ten or fifty?"
"If he dares to disrupt this matter, I will keep him from seeing the sun tomorrow!"
Speaking of this, Ximen Qing's face darkened and he made a beheading gesture.
"hiss..."
The servant suddenly shivered and felt silent when he thought of his young master's thunderous methods.
