Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

My temper has improved a lot.

The only worry is the newly adopted adopted son Jia Tong.

There were two things that made him particularly annoyed.

One is that Jia Tong refused to change his surname to Chai.

If he is willing to change, Chai Shao even intends to pass on the title to him!

Passing it on to Chai Zhewei still killed his son.

Chai Shao has long understood the truth that everyone is innocent and pregnant is guilty.

Give it to the second son, he is still worthy of his attention.

Only Jia Tong, the adopted son, has the ability and foundation, so as not to let Qiao Guogong's lineage be cut off.

The second thing is that Jia Tong has not yet married.

He talked about many marriages, but Jia Tong shirked them all.

Chai Shao is in a good mood today.

Because he told Jia Tong about a marriage, the kid didn't shirk it.

I also accepted the lanterns made by the girl herself.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Chai Shao didn't go to bed either.

He sat in the ancestral hall, gently stroking the tablet of Princess Pingyang Zhao.

"Xiu Ning, the second child is busy in the south of the Yangtze River and can't come back. Don't blame me. The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to two fat babies. His Majesty personally gave them names and rewarded him with a jade pendant and a golden crown. The young people in the hall have the upper hand, and the old guys can die well, and they are all content."

He rambled on.

Almost every year on the night of the Lantern Festival, this is the show.

It has to be said that he is extremely satisfied with his current life.

If the wife is still alive, it will be even more wonderful.

In his life, he only had one wife, not even a concubine.

A concubine cannot take concubines, this is for others.

When he married Princess Pingyang Zhao, the Li family had not won the world yet.

What's more, Princess Pingyang Zhao has been dead for 14 years.

Just because the relationship between him and Princess Pingyang Zhao is really good.

During the holidays, when I miss my dead wife, I always talk about family affairs.

squeak-

The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open by the steward.

"Master, the third young master is back."

Chai Shao nodded and said, "Understood."

He took a piece of silk from the side and wiped the tablet of Princess Pingyang Zhao clean.

"I'll come back to accompany you as a husband in a few days. If the youngest kid gets married, you, the stepmother, should also protect them well."

After speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Chai Shao is no longer young.

At the age of 30, he can call himself an old man, but at the age of 49, he has already lived longer than most of his old friends in the court.

The few strands of silvery white in the hair can't be hidden no matter what.

"Father!"

When Jia Tong came in, he saw Chai Shao waiting for him.

Chai Shao smiled slightly and said, "What did Mr. Cao say?"

Jia Tong rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Mr. Cao didn't make it clear that he asked the boy to bring Cao Gui into the palace tomorrow."

Chai Shao was taken aback.

"Could it be that he found another way?"

Jia Tong didn't have the nerve to say more.

Just stepped forward, took out the folded lantern in her arms, and gently placed it on the table.

Chai Shao's face sank, and he said, "What do you mean? Could it be that you humiliated you by admonishing the daughter of the doctor's family?"

Jia Tong hastily waved his hands and said, "That's not what my boy meant, it's just, just"

At this time, the old butler came again.

He also held a greeting card in his hand.

"Master, Mr. Cao is here to visit!"

Chai Shao's eyebrows almost went up to the sky.

Midnight visit?

He knew exactly how rigid Cao Xian was.

You have to follow the ancient etiquette when eating and drinking water. When did you do such a rude thing?

Hearing this, Jia Tong trembled all over, nervous and at a loss.

Chai Shao glanced at him, and said calmly, "I'll invite Mr. Cao myself!"

Jia Tong was in a hurry and said, "Father, the child feels unwell, so I will take my leave first!"

Before Chai Shao agreed, he ran away!

Chai Shao was puzzled.

What's wrong with this?

No time to think about it, Cao Xian is not an ordinary person, even the emperor should treat each other with courtesy, Chai Shao has no right to neglect others, so he immediately went out to greet him.

When he came outside the door, Chai Shao was shocked!

Cao Xian actually stood outside the door with a few gift boxes in hand!

He hurried forward and said, "Mr. Cao, what are you?"

With an ambiguous expression on Cao Xian's face, he said, "Could it be that old friend doesn't want to let me into the mansion?"

The corners of Chai Shao's mouth twitched a few times, and he said, "Mr. Cao, please come in quickly!"

Regardless of age and status, they are indeed old friends.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Chai Shao was a Qianniuwei guard, and Cao Xian was a secretary and a bachelor. They were all close ministers of the emperor, and they had contacts with each other.

Judging by their status, Chai Shao is an ordinary bodyguard captain, while Cao Xian is a teacher who taught the emperor how to read!

In terms of age, it is even more outrageous.

Cao Xian is older than Chai Shao's father, Chai Shen, the former Duke of Julu County in the Sui Dynasty!

This old man, seeing the emperor was so arrogant, why did he put his posture so low in front of him?

Could it be that it is for Jia Tong to bring Cao Gui into the palace tomorrow?

It stands to reason not.

If the old man is willing to lower his figure, he only needs to pass a note to the palace, and the emperor will ask Cao's family to enter the palace.

Cao Xian is one of the banners of the world's great Confucianism, and his appeal is second only to Wang Ji's few front-line configurations

Entering the yard, Chai Shao immediately called out: "Bring up the good tea that Liu Bai sent from Jiangnan!"

Chapter 1554 Old man, dare to insult me

"Grandpa Qiao, the old man doesn't like to play tricks. I came to the door today to propose a marriage!"

As soon as he sat down, Cao Xian expressed his intention.

Chai Shao, who was pouring tea, shook his hand, and the teapot fell to the ground and smashed to pieces with a bang!

Chai Shao's hand was quickly burned red, and he didn't realize it.

Opening his mouth wide, he looked at Cao Xian in astonishment, completely dumbfounded.

Propose marriage?

He has two and a half sons in total and no daughters.

Who to propose marriage to?

Cao Xian's face was very serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

"My little girl has been fond of the third son of your mansion for a long time, and I hope that Mr. Qiao will complete this marriage!"

Chai Shao's face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple.

"Old man, dare to insult me?!"

As he said, he was about to go over and pinch Cao Xian's neck!

None of the people who were born as generals has a good temper.

Come on with your temper, who cares what your identity is?

Beat me first!

Proposing marriage is not limited to the man, the woman also proposes marriage.

However, the only prerequisite is that the man must become the son-in-law.

You know, being a son-in-law is not as simple as having a bad reputation

Before the two Jin Dynasties, even if the son-in-law could not be called a crime, it was almost the same.

Once there is turmoil in the country, the first to be recruited is the person who committed a felony, and the second is the son-in-law.

Until now, the son-in-law is still regarded as a disgrace.

Especially those who are consorts like Chai Shao and the others are more sensitive to such things as son-in-law.

How could Chai Shao bear it?

He didn't care how old Cao Xian was or how high his status was.

Isn't the only criterion for verifying one's identity in the Great Tang Dynasty is His Majesty's importance?

Don't say that Chai Shaoben was a minister of the dragon, but Princess Pingyangzhao still has military exploits.

Chai Lingwu alone is no longer something the royal family can easily move.

As long as Cao Xian is not beaten to death, Chai Shao is right no matter where he is placed!

Seeing that he was about to strangle Cao Xian by the neck, Cao Xian shouted loudly and said, "Don't Mr. Qiao ask the third son's opinion?!"

Chai Shao was stunned as if being pulled back with a stick.

He suddenly remembered Jia Tong's unusual behavior when he came home.

The folded lantern is still on the side!

Chai Shao said with a gloomy face: "Call the third child over!"

The old butler left at the sound, and after a while, Jia Tongqi Ai Ai walked in.

"Father"

"I've seen Duke Cao!"

Cao Xian stared, and said: "Jia Tong, the old man came to ask you, are you interested in Xiner?"

Chai Shao was also staring at him.

It seemed that if Jia Tong dared to nod his head, Chai Shao would dare to eat him alive.

Jia Tong obviously got the news from the old housekeeper a long time ago.
