"Oh?" Wu Sangui looked at his son, waiting for him to continue.
"If Father makes the decision, no matter who you choose in the end, you will offend either Kangxi or Prince Bao, but what if the choice is given to Ah Ke?" Wu Yingxiong said with a smile on his face.
Wu Sangui's eyes brightened, he motioned him to continue.
"When the time comes, we only need to announce to the public that the choice of son-in-law is given to Ah Ke, we will ask Fu Kangan and Wei Xiaobao to be in the same room, and let Ah Ke personally choose her own husband." The more Wu Yingxiong spoke, the prouder he became, "Although it looks fair, we are clear that Ah Ke will never choose that little hoodlum Wei Xiaobao. Moreover, even if Kangxi is dissatisfied with the result, he will not be able to say anything."
"Ah Ke, what do you think?" Wu Sangui turned to look at Ah Ke and asked.
"Everything is up to Father." Ah Ke's cheeks were crimson, she spoke in a soft voice, and then she trotted out.
Early the next morning, Ping Xi Wang sent someone to Anfu Garden to invite Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao to his mansion.
Along the way, Wei Xiaobao was very excited, in his heart he fantasized that he might as well not be an official anymore, he would find a place to live in seclusion with Ah Ke and Shuang 'er, and every day he would do some shameful things with Ah Ke …
However, when the two of them approached Ping Xi Wang Mansion, the smile on Wei Xiaobao's face could not help but freeze.
In the main hall of Ping Xi Wang Mansion, a young gongzi was sitting on the first seat on Wu Sangui's left. His face was like a crown jade, full of spirit and spirit, his appearance elegant, about ten years old, wearing a sapphire blue robe and a melon skin cap on his head. In the middle of the cap was sewn a piece of about an inch square of beautiful jade.
"Your grandfather, do you have to be so elegant, handsome and at ease? In all my life, laozi hates people who are more handsome than me the most. I already have a handsome Song Qingshu by my side, if there is another pretty boy, laozi will be under a lot of pressure. "The corner of Wei Xiaobao's mouth twitched, he continuously cursed in his heart.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was staring at the precious jade on his hat. Even from so far away, he could see that the beautiful jade was glowing. He knew that it was a priceless treasure. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "Wearing such a priceless thing on your head, aren't you afraid that a flying bandit will cut off your head in the middle of the night?"
"Lord Wei, Daren Song, let this prince introduce you. This is Prince Bao's heir apparent, Young Master Fu Kang and Young Master Anfu. These two are His Majesty's Marriage Envoy Lord Wei and Marriage Escort General Daren Song." Wu Sangui stood up and introduced both sides.
"No wonder laozi disliked you at first sight, turns out you're a slut that tries to steal laozi's wife." Wei Xiaobao cursed endlessly in his heart. He cupped his hands and casually said, "It's an honor to meet you."
Fu Kangan did not return the greeting. He slowly put down the teacup and lightly said: "I thought the one who captured Oboi would be some kind of hero. Turns out it's just a child who is still wet behind the ears. Seems like the rumors are indeed not to be believed."
"Screw you!" Ever since Wei Xiaobao became Kangxi's favorite minister, even the princes, dukes and ministers had to be respectful when they saw him. Who would dare to be rude to him?
In a moment of anger, he blurted out the slang he learned from the brothel patrons in Yangzhou's Lovely Spring Courtyard.
Although Fu Kangan did not understand what he said, he knew it was definitely not something good. His countenance sank and he said in a cold voice, "Slap your mouth!"
"Yes!" A shadow moved like a swimming fish and appeared in front of Wei Xiaobao in an instant, with his palm raised high.
Wei Xiaobao was dumbstruck, as if he had been scared out of his wits. Song QingShu, on the other hand, was not stupid. He stood in front of Wei Xiaobao, and in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, he exchanged several blows with the silhouette. Finally, with a punch, the silhouette was jolted back.
"Lightning Steps of Hundred Changes?" Song Qingshu looked at the other side with a puzzled expression. Just now his qinggong was the Lightning Steps of Hundred Changes and his martial arts was only slightly weaker than Yuan Chengzhi's.
Fu Kangan stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates who were about to continue forward. He shook his head and said with a tone full of ridicule, "This must be that so-called Marriage Escort General Song Qingshu. These days, the title of General is really becoming less and less valuable. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can call themselves General." As soon as he finished, his subordinates could not help but burst into laughter.
"Song Mou is just an inferior General, naturally he cannot compare to Master Fu. Oh right," Song Qingshu was not angry but looked at Wei Xiaobao who was still in a state of shock and said with a smile, "Brother Wei, I heard that in Yangzhou area people call the Rabbit Lord who serves men gongzi, is this true?"
How could Wei Xiaobao not understand and quickly agreed, "That's right, those fat and ugly boorish men like Master Fu the most. If Master Fu is willing to go to Lovely Spring Courtyard to take a seat, I guarantee that business will be booming."
"You!" Fu Kangan was furious and slammed the table.
"Oh right, is Master Fu good at playing the flute?" Song Qingshu's lips revealed a trace of a cunning smile.
"Humph, so what if I am good at it. I dare not say that my skill with the flute is unparalleled in the world, but it can be considered to have reached the point of perfection." Playing the flute was Fu Kangan's daily hobby and he was very skilled at it. In the past, he relied on the sound of the flute to make a Jianghu girl take the initiative to throw herself into his arms. It has always been one of the things that he was very proud of in his life.
Song Qingshu clapped his hands and laughed, "Although there are thousands of brothels in the world, they can be roughly divided into two types. One is called 'Eternal Spring Courtyard' and the other is called 'Sleepless Palace'. It is said that it originated from a poem by Su Dongpo. Master Fu is very knowledgeable, I believe you must know which poem it is?"
Fu Kangan had always been proud of his literary talent. Although he knew that Song Qingshu was up to no good, he still could not help but say, "It must have been taken from 'Romance enters the Eternal Spring Courtyard, the lights and candles shine brightly in the Sleepless City'."
"I did not expect Master Fu to be such an expert." Song Qingshu gave a thumbs up, praising Fu Kangan until his face turned red and white. "The so-called Sleepless Palace refers to a place for female prostitutes. As for the Eternal Spring Courtyard, it is naturally a place for male prostitutes. Brother Wei, I have heard that after the male prostitutes enter the courtyard, they must train in a certain skill. What is it? "
Wei Xiaobao grew up in a brothel, how could he not know what he meant. He cooperated and said, "It seems to be training every day for them to have a hundred and thirty-five flute masters in their mouths.
There is a refined saying in the industry, this skill is called playing the flute. "As he said this, he swept his gaze over the jade flute at Fu Kangan's waist.
Everyone present was a man, how could they not understand the meaning behind his words. Even Fu Kangan's own subordinates were suppressing their laughter.
At first, Fu Kangan did not react, but when he saw the smiles on everyone's faces, he suddenly came to his senses and became furious.
"Everyone, please calm down. I have invited everyone here today to make an explanation regarding my daughter's marriage." Although Wu Sangui was happy to see Prince Bao's side and Kangxi's men become like fire and water, he could not allow both sides to make a scene that could not be resolved.
Fu Kangan thought to himself that he had to give face to his future father-in-law. He could not help but snort coldly and sat back in his seat.
When Wei Xiaobao heard that Wu Sangui had decided to let Ah Ke choose her own husband, his expression changed greatly. Song Qingshu also frowned, his gaze inadvertently swept past Fu Kangan. A thought flashed through his mind and his expression immediately relaxed. Chapter 136: First Appearance of Fangs
On the way back to Anfu garden, Wei Xiaobao was restless. He looked at Song Qingshu several times, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Brother Wei, do you not have confidence in yourself?" Song Qingshu knew that he was worried and could not help but laugh.
"You can still laugh at this time," Wei Xiaobao anxiously said, "Didn't you hear what the old turtle said just now?"
"I heard it," Song Qingshu said disapprovingly, "Since you let Ah Ke choose herself, Brother Wei, I think very highly of you."
Although he had always been thick-skinned, Wei Xiaobao could not help but feel his face was burning hot. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Although I am known as the quick-witted Little White Dragon, or the jade-faced Little Langjun, but after all, my advantage lies in my inner qualities. Ah Ke is still young, she certainly cannot appreciate the charm of a man like me. Instead, she will be attracted by Fu Kangan, that kind of greasy-haired and powder-faced young man. I can't help but worry. "
"Don't worry, there will be a way out when the car reaches the mountain." Song Qingshu did not tell him his plan. Instead, he said, "Brother Wei, you go back to Anfu garden first, I want to take a stroll around."
Wei Xiaobao was in a daze, so he did not mind. Escorted by the Imperial Bodyguards, he walked alone toward Anfu garden.
Song Qingshu arrived at a teahouse and walked straight to a secluded place. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Brother Tian, many days have passed, but you are still as elegant as before."
Tian Guinong's face revealed an awkward expression, "Last time I was saved by Song daren, but I did not reveal my true identity. I hope Song daren will forgive me."
"Brother Tian does not need to be polite," Song Qingshu picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for him. Then he leisurely filled his own cup, "You and I each serve different masters. At that time, Brother Tian's apprehension was also human nature."
It turned out that earlier at Ping Xi Wang fu, Song Qingshu had noticed the two martial arts experts standing behind Fu Kangan. One of them was Tian Guinong, whom he had saved last time.
After receiving Song Qingshu's secret signal, Tian Guinong hesitated for a long time. He knew that in the near future, Kangxi and Prince Bao would inevitably have a life and death struggle. He was Prince Bao's subordinate, while Song Qingshu was Kangxi's favorite, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to meet in private. However, Song Qingshu had, after all, saved his and Nan Lan's lives, so it was not good for him to refuse. He had no choice but to quietly come out. He made up his mind that no matter what Song Qingshu asked, he must not speak carelessly.
Song Qingshu saw Tian Guinong's nervous expression and decided to change the topic to ease the other's mood, "How is your wife doing?"
Hearing him mention Nan Lan, Tian Guinong's face revealed a trace of gentleness, "I still have to thank Song daren for saving me last time. Nan Lan is currently living very well."
The two of them chatted about their daily lives. In the end, the topic gradually shifted to what happened at Ping Xi Wang fu today.
"The one who fought with you just now is Daoist Priest Yuzhen Zi, the number one expert under Prince Bao's command. He is a master of both Taishan Pai and Iron Sword School. His swordsmanship is brilliant, and his qinggong is especially outstanding."
"Ping Xi Wang intends to marry Junzhu to our Shizi. This time Prince Bao specially sent Shizi here, one reason is to discuss the marriage. Chapter 136
Translated by: Kun Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition On the way back to Anfu Garden, Wei Xiaobao was restless. Several times he looked at Song Qingshu as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"Wei Xiongdi, do you not have confidence in yourself?" Song Qingshu knew that he was worried and could not help but laugh.
"You can still laugh at this time," Wei Xiaobao anxiously said, "Didn't you hear what the old turtle said just now?"
"I heard it," Song Qingshu said disapprovingly, "Since Ah Ke personally chose, Wei Xiongdi, I think very highly of you."
Even though he had always been thick-skinned, Wei Xiaobao could not help but feel his face heat up. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Although I am known as the quick-witted Little White Dragon and the Jade-Faced Little Langjun, in the end, my advantage lies in my inner qualities. Ah Ke is young, he certainly cannot appreciate the charm of a man like me. Instead, he will be attracted by that oily and powdered young man, Fu Kangan. I can't help but worry. "
"Don't worry, the cart will cross the mountain when it comes to the mountain." Song Qingshu did not tell him his plan. Instead, he said, "Wei Xiongdi, you go back to Anfu Garden first. I want to take a stroll around."

After receiving Song Qingshu's secret signal to come out for a gathering, Tian Guinong hesitated for a long time.

In his daze, Wei Xiaobao didn't care. Under the escort of the bodyguards, he walked alone to Anfu Garden.
Song Qingshu came to a teahouse and went straight to a secluded place. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, long time no see, you are still as elegant as before."
