Chapter 559
It's really puzzling, but this is a fact.
Lord Wei said in a deep voice: "This is something my son has just experienced, so there should be no mistakes. Brother Guo, Ling Ai is indeed well-educated, well-reasoned, but, hey, I have no chance with my son. I hope I can understand it, and I am helpless."
Lord Guo was helpless after hearing this. He could understand why Old Wei did this. The sudden appearance of Ankang County Duke was like a mountain pressing on people's hearts.
Lord Guo could only sigh, this marriage would not be successful anyway.
"Brother Guo, I've said goodbye!"
Lord Wei, who stepped out of Guo's mansion, felt relieved. The Wei family is so tactful. The Duke of Ankang County should not be chasing him, right?
Lord Wei is very grateful now. Fortunately, the two families are still in the stage of marriage negotiation and have not been hired, otherwise it would be difficult to get a job.
It is common to have a marriage negotiation, and outsiders can't say anything. You can get rid of it by finding a reason, but it will be difficult to terminate the engagement once you get hired and will definitely cause criticism.
In the Guo family, Lord Guo still frowned tightly. He was puzzled. How could that boy from the Li family have something to do with Ankang County Duke? The Li family has indeed fallen.
As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of something that Li Yun seemed to have attracted the attention of the emperor at the horse racing conference, as if he was about to join the army.
He didn't care after hearing this. Even if the emperor noticed Li Yun at that time, the emperor was busy with all kinds of things and left it behind after a while.
It is not easy for Li Yun, who has no connections, to stand out in the army? How many famous generals are there in the Tang army now? How can a young man make the turn to stand out?
Don’t say it, it’s hard to get promoted, so even though he knew that Li Yun had an official position, he still didn’t think about marrying his daughter to Li Yun.
But now I suddenly heard that Li Yun and Ankang County Duke had something to do, Lord Guo couldn't help but feel moved and ordered: "Go, find out which battalion Li Yun went to join the army!"
The servants rushed to inquire.
In an elegant courtyard in the back house, the maid hurried in and said anxiously: "Miss, Miss, Lord Wei is here!"
Guo Xiangyu held the book without raising his head, and said lightly: "If you come, come, what does it have to do with me?"
"Why is it not related to the lady's business? Miss doesn't know yet, Lord Wei is here to withdraw from the marriage!" the maid whispered.
Guo Xiangyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, put down the book in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Break off the engagement? Really?"
The maid next to him said angrily: "Break off the engagement? How could our ladies not be worthy of their Wei family? They even came to break off the engagement. It's so outrageous!"
Guo Xiangyu said in surprise: "If you break off the engagement, you will break off the engagement. Maybe I think I am not worthy of their Wei family, which is a good thing for me."
The maid said helplessly: "Miss is still thinking about Mr. Li, but the master does not recognize Mr. Li at all, and thinks that the family is not suitable for the right family."
Guo Xiangyu said: "If the marriage cannot be done, my father can't let me get married, so I can only let me marry Brother Yun."
The maid muttered, "Miss, you are as beautiful as a flower and well-educated. How could you not get married?"
Guo Xiangyu smiled and said, "That's not sure. You see, the Wei family broke the engagement? It's so embarrassing to be broken. Maybe my father will change his mind."
"Also, Brother Yun has joined the army. He is familiar with military tactics and proficient in cavalry and shooting. He will definitely make a name for himself!"
The maids couldn't help but pout slightly when they heard this. How could it be so easy to make a name for themselves?
Even if Li Yun is really capable of making a name for himself, he doesn't know when the day he makes a name for himself, so the lady can't wait.
The news that Li Yun was transferred to Shenji Camp is not difficult to inquire about, at least it has spread among the neighbors of Li Yun's family.
The servant of the Guo family found out after just a little inquiry and immediately ran back to report the news.
In the study, Lord Guo had no intention of doing anything else, and his thoughts were flying in his heart.
"Master, Master, I found out that Li Yun was transferred to the Shenji Camp!"
Lord Guo suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "What? Li Yun was transferred to the Shenji Camp? You didn't know it wrong, are you?"
"Master, it's not wrong. Li Yun's neighbors have spread all over him! It's true!"
Lord Guo was just too surprised and felt unbelievable. In fact, he believed it after a moment of consciousness.
He could not understand why Li Yun had something to do with Ankang County Duke. Now he finally understood that Li Yun was transferred to Shenji Camp.
No wonder Ankang County Guild stands out for Li Yun. It is no secret that Ankang County Duke is kind to his own people.
Xue Rengui, the general of the Shenji Camp, was once just a guard of Duke Ankang County, but because of Duke Ankang County, he became the general of the Shenji Camp.
The son-in-law Xue Wanche was idle for several years and was re-activated because of the appreciation of Ankang County Duke. Now that Li Yun is appreciated by Ankang County Duke, Li Yun will definitely make a name for himself!
This time, the Duke of Ankang County did not speak directly, but just slap and test it. What about in the future? Will he directly threaten the Guo family?
Can the Guo family bear the power of living in Ankang County Duke?
If you marry your daughter to Li Yun, wouldn’t it be related to the Duke of Ankang County?
Although the Duke of Ankang County is noble, he lacks foundation. Since he appreciates Li Yun, he will definitely reuse Li Yun.
If my daughter married Li Yun, she could naturally go to Sujiazhuang often and visit Princess Changle!
That is the eldest princess, deeply loved by the emperor and the queen, and can be regarded as a favorite. You must know that with the current status of the Guo family, they do not even have the qualifications to meet Princess Changle!
Thinking of this, Lord Guo was moved and suddenly felt that marrying his daughter to Li Yun seemed to be a good choice.
He waved his hand and asked the servant to retreat. Lord Guo kept walking and wandering in the study, and gradually he felt firm in his heart.
The only thing that made him feel hesitant was that he was a little embarrassed.
After all, he looked down on Li Yun at the beginning, and what he said was not nice. Now, let him turn around, where will he put his old face?
After thinking about it, Lord Guo pushed open the door of the study and turned around and walked towards the inner house.
Mrs. Guo looked shocked and suspicious. When she heard the movement, she quickly stood up and asked, "I heard that Mr. Wei is here to break the engagement? I was about to ask the master, what's going on?"
Lord Guo sat down and frowned slightly and said, "I have figured it out. Li Yun was transferred to Shenji Camp and was appreciated by Ankang County Duke. They went to drink together and met Wei Qingyu. Ankang County Duke might have said something, which scared the Guo family, so they came to push the marriage."
Mrs. Guo said in surprise: "Li Yun was actually transferred to Shenji Camp and was appreciated by Ankang County Public?"
Lord Guo said in a muffled voice: "Well, this kid is working now, so he has some skills."
