Chapter 1364 Silk Script
Chapter 1364 Silk Script
Shang Xi bit her finger and suddenly felt something was wrong. It was not advisable to stay here for long!
"Uncle, I think there are many things that my niece-in-law may not be able to hear, so I'll take my leave first!"
Wan Lianxing said with a smile: "Hey! It's just right for you to stay. I thought about it and decided to exempt you from the hundred times of female rules!"
"Uncle, I know I was wrong and I accept the punishment. Don't worry, I will copy the rules for women a hundred times and give them to you for your review. Not a single word will be missing."
"My words are golden, so I will give you a new task! This task belongs to you alone, so you can choose a wife for me."
Just when Shang Xi was thinking about how to refuse, Wan Lianxing said again: "When choosing a wife for the two of them, you can't just pick any family. She must come from a high family background and be good-looking. She doesn't have to be stunningly beautiful, but she must be naturally beautiful. Also, the girl must be well-educated and well-educated, and be able to compose poems and couplets when she's free. Oh, and she must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The most important thing is that she must be both civil and military. None of these conditions can be missing!"
"Your Majesty, the most important thing is to be able to sing and dance!" Sui Xin added.
Wan Lianxing nodded: "As the general I begged for, guarding the border, this request is not too much. Shang Xi, add one more thing to the ones I just mentioned. This woman must be able to sing and dance!"
What the hell! Shang Xi's face had already collapsed! Is this looking for a wife? "Aren't there too few people like my uncle?"
"Little doesn't mean no, I must pay attention to it this time. Look at the two marriages I arranged, none of them are satisfactory. Dong Qing, he has never straightened his back at home for so many years, and Sha Yueteng, he has never returned home since he married Shi Hongjiao and guarded the North Gate! Alas, it's all my fault. I arranged their marriages too abruptly. If they had considered it more and screened for a few more days, it wouldn't have been like this."
"Uncle, this proves that you are not suitable for arranged marriage, and I am not suitable to be a matchmaker. Marrying a wife is about being in love and having a good relationship. Otherwise, it will cause misfortune and hurt both men and women. Such tragedies have happened once and twice, but they cannot happen again and again!"
Sui Xin tried to persuade him with emotion and reason, but Wan Lianxing just wouldn't buy her account.
"Don't I know what you're thinking? Don't try to shirk responsibility. This matter requires you. In order to avoid misfortune, I won't set a deadline for you, but I will keep you posted on the progress at any time!"
"Uncle, do you see my talent as a matchmaker?"
"Whether it's OK or not is up to me!"
"Uncle, why don't you let your queen arrange this matter for the two generals!" Shang Xi felt that Wan Lianxing was just ordering her around.
"The queen is in charge of the harem, and she is very busy. How can she spare the time to do this?"
"Uncle, it seems that there is only one queen in your harem. Apart from a group of palace servants, what else does she have to take care of? Is it that hard?"
"Of course not, the Queen has to worry about my little grandson!"
Wan Lianxing was deliberately irritating people. When he mentioned Cheng Youning and Shang Xi, he was furious. Her child, did she need anyone to worry about her? "Uncle, if you are worried about the queen being overworked, I can take care of the prince!"
"I don't need you. Just do whatever I tell you to do. Don't interfere in other matters!"
Shang Xi muttered, "It's time to kill the donkey!"
"What did you say!"
"You are wise and brave, my uncle!"
At this time, Sui Xin spoke again: "Your Majesty, please don't delay too long in helping Sui Ming and me choose wives. This matter must be accomplished as soon as possible!"
Wan Lianxing nodded, "That makes sense!"
Without even a goal, how could they achieve it? Shang Xi thought these people were just daydreaming. She suggested, "Your Majesty, I think you should hold a lantern festival on the 15th to attract all the good beggars to gather in Fengying. Then you can arrange marriages for them as you like."
Wan Lianxing clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "What a great idea! Send someone to post a notice immediately. I want to select wives for meritorious officials. All the good girls in the world can participate!"
Just when everyone agreed that this was a good idea, the attendant who had been sitting there silently spoke up, "Your Majesty, don't prepare for the Lantern Festival yet. Let's return to Fengying as soon as possible. It won't be too late to prepare everything after we return to Fengying!"
Wan Lianxing, who was immersed in choosing a wife for a meritorious official, suddenly sobered up and said, "The followers stay, and the rest of you, all retreat!"
Everyone saw that Wan Lianxing's face suddenly looked calm, which meant that he had something to discuss with his followers in private, so they all left the tent.
At this time, the room became quiet. Wan Lianxing looked at his followers and said, "Go ahead, tell me what you have been hiding from me!"
The attendant took out a silk book from his pocket and said, "Look at this!"
From the outside, it looked like a scroll of old silk book, nothing special. But when it was unfolded, Wan Lianxing stood up in shock, "This... this... where did you get this from?"
"I found it in the inner storehouse of the Dalang Palace."
Wan Lianxing smashed the table beside him with his palm, "How dare you touch my Wan family's mausoleum!"
At this time, the few people who had just walked out of the big tent had not walked far when they heard the sound of something breaking.
Sui Xin didn't bother Shang Xi to find him a wife. He looked at Sui Ming and went back. "Princess, you should go back and have a rest. Sui Ming and I will go in and take a look!"
There was total silence in the big tent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Wan Lianxing sat there quietly, holding the silk book in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking about!
Looking at the broken table, Sui Xin asked, "Follower, did you offend the boss?"
The attendant was still sitting there, his posture and expression were the same as when they left the tent just now, no change, "Why would I provoke him? It was the Emperor of Dalang who provoked him!"
"How did the emperor of Dalang offend him?"
The attendant glanced at the silk book in Wan Lianxing's hand and said, "You will know once you read it!"
Sui Xin went forward to take the silk book that Wan Lianxing was tightly holding in his hand, "Let go, let us see what's going on, and then we can help you vent your anger!"
Unfolding the silk book, Sui Xin asked, "Is this... the Wan family's business route?"
Without taking a closer look, he made the assertion: "This is something from underground!"
"Underground! How did you know that?"
"It smells like an ancient corpse!"
"The things in the coffin!"
Sui Ming nodded: "It seems that the Wan family's ancestral tomb has been dug up!"
The follower raised his lip corners upon hearing this: "Sui Ming is still very knowledgeable! Sui Xin, you should learn from him."
"My nose is injured, otherwise I can smell it. Was it done by the emperor of Dalang Kingdom?"
The attendant glanced at Wan Lianxing and said, "I found this thing in the inner treasury of the Dalang Palace. For this reason, I went to the Wan family's mausoleum to check. The Wan family's mausoleum was completely robbed. Judging from the traces of the holes, it was stolen by officials. Later, I went to the national treasury, and most of the burial treasures were placed in the national treasury."
