Remodeling the World Remodeling Myth

Chapter 93

(Thank you for the rewards of Taikoo Candle Dragon Dao.)
Kaifeng, Zhao Mansion.

As Zhao Tingzhi's servant of the Ministry of Rites and a third-rank official in the dynasty, his mansion is naturally magnificent.The large house with three entrances and three exits covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, among which there are dozens of servants and maids, and a dozen strong guards, which are far beyond what the Li family can match.

Zhao Mansion, study room.

A middle-aged man with a chubby figure and a round face sat at the head of the study, while a young man with a handsome face stood in front of the desk.They are Zhao Tingzhi, the current Minister of Rites, and his son Zhao Mingcheng.

Zhao Tingzhi's face was full of anger, he glared at Zhao Mingcheng and shouted: "Nizi, you don't think it's enough to embarrass your father!"

"Father, my son, my son really likes Miss Qingzhao. Besides, what happened a few days ago was not what people said. My son just accidentally fell into the water because of a momentary slip." Zhao Mingcheng was a little shy, The words are soft and soft, giving people a sense of lack of confidence.

Zhao Tingzhi's expression was indifferent, his brows were cold and he said nothing.

His own son, still unfamiliar.Zhao Mingcheng's knowledge is good, although he can't be said to be a well-known talent all over the world, he is still a talent above average.But his character is cowardly, and he is not suitable for doing things at all.

Zhao Tingzhi naturally knew very well about Zhao Mingcheng's falling into the water.

Because on the day when the incident happened, there were rumors throughout Kaifeng that the son of the Zhao family was kicked into the water. It can be said that the Zhao family has lost all face!
In Zhao Tingzhi's view, even though Li Qingzhao had no direct relationship with Li Qingzhao, he still had an inescapable responsibility.

And a person who made his son lose face and made the Zhao family a laughing stock in Kaifeng Mansion, how could Zhao Tingzhi agree to this marriage.If it weren't for the fact that he was busy with the reception of Chongyang Daoist recently and hadn't freed up his hands, Li Gefei would definitely let Li Gefei understand that the Zhao family cannot be humiliated!

However, Li Gefei has not given an explanation for this matter until now. Could it be that he looked down on me, Zhao Tingzhi?

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes were gloomy, and he was a little more annoyed.

It would be fine if Li Gefei gave an explanation. Although the incident has already happened, the face of the Zhao family can still be saved.But two or three days had passed, Li Gefei didn't even show any sign, which really made Zhao Tingzhi angry.

What is this, Chi Guoguo's ignorance!
And this naughty son, he even licked his face and explained, what an idiot!
Zhao Tingzhi said coldly: "Tomorrow you will visit Li's house with your father."

Zhao Mingcheng saw that his father's face was not good, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but Zhao Tingzhi's majesty for more than ten years made him only bow his head, and did not dare to refute at all.

The next day, the living room of the Li Mansion.

Li Gefei smiled all over his face, showing a bit of embarrassment and apology, and led Zhao Tingzhi and his son into the inner hall: "I don't know if Brother Zhao came here, but he was greeted at a distance, and he was greeted at a distance."

"The matter between the dog and your daughter is so noisy, how can I sit still when I, a father, accidentally heard about it." Zhao Tingzhi glanced sideways at Li Gefei, and his voice was indifferent.

Li Gefei's expression froze slightly, and he faintly felt that the visitor might not be good.After all, as soon as he entered the door, he began to ask questions. How could it be done by the kind guests who came to visit?
Li Gefei smiled wryly in his heart, but did not refute.After all, let's not say that the other party is his immediate boss, this matter is more or less Qingzhao's fault.He was apologetic, and said helplessly: "This is indeed my daughter's fault. Uncle Wen is here to apologize to Brother Zhao."

As he said, he bowed and worshiped, making Zhao Tingzhi's complexion a little better.

"Since this matter has already happened, it won't help to say any more. Brother Li is also a sensible person, so I'll just say it straight. The matter has come to this point, I think it's better to forget about Lingai and Gouzi. "Zhao Tingzhi didn't say too much, and directly pointed to the purpose of this trip.As he spoke, he took out a name card recording Li Qingzhao's birthday and put it on the coffee table beside him.

In ancient China, there were many rules for the marriage of men and women, known as "three books and six rituals".

Especially big families pay more attention to these.

And before Li Qingzhao came back, the Li family had already gone through the three steps of accepting the lottery, asking the name, and Najib with the Zhao family, and they had initially reached a consensus and a marriage contract.If the normal development sequence is followed, the Zhao family will come to propose marriage with a dowry gift, which is one of the most important steps.

At this time, Zhao Tingzhi came to return the name card that recorded Li Qingzhao's birthday, and his intention was self-evident.

Li Gefei's expression changed slightly, his hands hidden in the robe clenched into fists, his finger bones turned white, suppressing the anger in his heart.Originally, even if Zhao Tingzhi didn't talk about this matter, he planned to solve this problem within two days.After all, the affair between Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng was raging in Kaifeng, and it was impossible to continue.

It's just that this matter can be big or small, if Zhao Tingzhi discusses it in private and then sets a time for the two parties to return the eight-character name card, it's not a big deal.

But the other party got up and didn't say anything, and directly used his power to forcefully return the name post. This move was tantamount to trampling the Li family's face on the ground and taking Li Qingzhao's fame as a joke.Now Confucianism is gradually flourishing, and the theory of women's morality is becoming more and more popular.If this matter gets out, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Li Qingzhao.

After all, big families are the most concerned about face, who would marry a woman who was forcibly divorced?

Zhao Tingzhi remained silent, and looked at Li Gefei indifferently, as if there was no room for negotiation.

In the past, Zhao Tingzhi was quite satisfied with Li Qingzhao. He came from a family of officials and officials, and he was quite talented in the Song Dynasty. Except for the small stain of being a teacher of Jianghu sect, he was still good overall.

But after Zhao Mingcheng fell into the water, Zhao Tingzhi felt a little more disgusted and annoyed with Li Qingzhao.

He is a person of standard Confucianism, and he can't understand women who don't follow women's morals the most.But Li Qingzhao's actions, in his opinion, are completely uneducated and unrefined savage behavior.

If such a person enters the gate of the Zhao family, it will be a disaster! ?
Before coming to Li's house, Zhao Tingzhi had already thought up his speech.Take the lead to seize the momentum, and then directly call the topic, without giving the other party time to explain and react.If Li Gefei was sensible, he would just accept his fate obediently.If he is ignorant and wants to continue pestering the Zhao family, he must let him understand what shame is.

Although Li Gefei was usually a kind person, he was a little more angry when he was persecuted like this.

The other party called him a visit, but in fact, he came to deceive people at all.

It's just that Li Gefei thought of the other party's official position, so he could only sigh helplessly in the end, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wen is sorry for Mr. Zhao. The horoscope is still in the backyard, please wait here for a while, Mr. Zhao."

Now that the two families are almost torn apart, Li Gefei really can't call Zhao brother.

Seeing that Li Gefei was so sensible, Zhao Tingzhi relaxed slightly from his indifferent expression.He was a little relieved to be able to resolve the matter with the Li family so smoothly.

As for what impact this incident will have on Li Qingzhao, will there be any unbearable rumors that will affect the other party's life.Or bring any bad influence to the Li family, it is completely out of Zhao Tingzhi's consideration.

What he needs now is to save the Zhao family's face, not to think about the Li family's problems.

Besides, Li Gefei is just one of many officials under Zhao Tingzhi, and the gap between the third rank and the fifth rank is like a bright moon compared to a firefly.Regardless of official status or family background, the Zhao family is far from being comparable to the Li family, so why would Zhao Tingzhi be afraid?
Zhao Mingcheng stood behind Zhao Ting, still daring not to speak.Even if the other party proposed to withdraw the engagement, his expression only changed slightly, and then he lowered his head obediently.
