Chapter 109
Duan Zhengxuan blinked and asked, "Then, do you have time to join in?"
Unexpectedly, Song Zhen shook his head and said, "Sorry, I am now a censor and music director, and I am rehearsing songs for the saint."
Duan Zhengxuan was shocked! Good guy, you also know how to play music?
He had to sigh with regret. After all, as a minister, how could he compete with the saint for people?
Song Zhen added, "In Bianzhou and Bingzhou, Di Renjie and I divided the work. I was responsible for the autopsy, and he was responsible for finding evidence and reasoning in the trial, investigating the case on the spot, and telling the truth."
"I'm not good at it."
Duan Zhengxuan nodded in appreciation. This boy dared to admit his shortcomings and had a broad mind.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the reason why Song Zhen said that was just because he didn't want to work overtime.
After Song Zhen took Cui Mengzhu back, he immediately wrote a letter and asked Di Renjie to come to Luoyang to help.
It would take a long time for Di Renjie to come from Bingzhou.
Song Zhen was still a little excited when he thought about seeing Huaiying again in half a month.
......
At the same time, Lu Yang received a letter from the elders of the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor. He curiously opened it and took a look.
"I, the great-grandson Lu Wei, admire Cui Mengzhu, the daughter of Cui Qiuhua of the Qinghe Cui family. However, she has been engaged to Cui Mengting, her sister. I hope the three ministers will support her and let the lovers finally get married."
Lu Yang's white eyebrows frowned all of a sudden. What is this? You should marry the woman written in your engagement letter. What does it mean to change the object on a whim?
He put away the letter and went home to ask his wife.
Cui Qiufang was also puzzled. Why did he suddenly change the object?
In essence, she was happy that the Fanyang Lu family and the Qinghe Cui family were married again and exchanged what they had.
What made her unhappy was that the other party married Cui Mengting, who she had chosen.
"Ahua is so stupid, why don't you consider my opinion?"
My brother actually ignored her matchmaking? As the first matchmaker of the Qinghe Cui family, Cui Qiufang felt offended.
She had written a letter back to the family before, hoping that her brother would marry his daughter Cui Mengting to Song Zhen, but there was no news.
Now she suddenly received the news that Cui Mengting was going to get married, how can you ask her to stay rational?
I'm so angry!
Cui Qiufang slapped the table angrily, and Lu Yang trembled.
"No! Cui Mengting must not marry! She is for Song Zhen!" Cui Qiufang stood up and shouted.
Lu Yang quickly comforted his wife: "Don't worry, you don't know the cause and effect. Moreover, in my opinion, the engagement letter has been issued, but suddenly changing the marriage is really unbearable."
To put it simply, he didn't take the Qinghe Cui family seriously.
After her husband's advice, Cui Qiufang suddenly realized: "That's right, a man like Lu Wei who loves new things and dislikes old things is not worthy of marrying my niece."
"I want to go to Luoyang!" Cui Qiufang turned and left, "Just in time, Shouzheng is in Luoyang."
Lu Yang grabbed her and advised: "What are you going to do? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"Shut up!"
"!" Governor Lu's neck shrank and he shut up very sensibly.
Lu Wei really went to the elders to intercede. Since he was the great-grandson of the elders, the old man doted on his descendants, so he wrote a letter to intercede.
Lu Wei's lineage belongs to the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor.
The best developed of the Fanyang Lu family at present are the first and second branches of the Northern Ancestor.
The first branch has Lu Chengqing, the governor of Ruzhou, and the second branch has Lu Yang, the governor of Bingzhou. Moreover, these two branches have the most officials and literati in the court.
It can be said that the voices of the first and second branches are so loud that they can affect the entire Fanyang Lu family.
Now that Lu Chengqing went to the Western Turks, General Su Dingfang defeated the Western Turks, so Li Zhi arranged for him to go there and divide the land among two princes loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and also confer titles on the leaders of various tribes.
Since Lu Chengqing could not be contacted, the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestors could only send a letter to Lu Yang, hoping to get his support.
In addition, Lu Yang's wife was Cui Mengzhu's aunt, so her words naturally carried a lot of weight.
With these two old people pleading, it was naturally a sure thing.
Their idea was very good, but they never expected that Cui Qiufang had already designated Song Zhen as her niece's son-in-law.
"Be careful on the road, Qi Niang." Lu Yang waved hoarsely.
When he thought that his wife was close to knowing her fate, and she had to travel a long distance for the marriage of the younger generation, he felt very uncomfortable.
......
Luoyang——
Cui Qiuhua found that his daughter ran out every day these days, saying that she was going to Yan's house to learn painting.
Moreover, after she came back, her complexion was rosy and she showed no signs of illness. She was like a completely different person from her previous frail self.
He was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what his daughter had gone through, her health was gradually recovering. As a father, didn't he want his children to be healthy?As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough.
So, he began to plan to find a good husband for his daughter.
"Dad, good afternoon."
"Nianzhen, are you going to Yan's house again?"
"Yes, yes."
Cui Qiuhua smiled and put a small box in her hand: "This is my little gift, please be sure to hand it over to Minister Yan in person."
Cui Mengzhu felt funny in her heart, it seems that her cheap father had misunderstood.
It has nothing to do with Yan Liben, it mainly depends on Song Zhen.
She didn't plan to pretend anymore. In fact, she had wanted to show her cards a long time ago, but Song Zhen didn't let her.
He thought that after the show, he would get Li Zhi's appreciation and then come to propose marriage.
After all, Cui Mengzhu is the daughter of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families, not an ordinary family, so she must be cautious.
Moreover, he remembered Di Renjie's divination that day.
"Everything is ready, water and fire complement each other and harmonize. However, dragging the wheel is not wrong."
Without a perfect plan, Song Zhen would never dare to act rashly.
On the other side, in the Dali Temple——
Xue Zhengqing and others came to Pingkangfang to investigate and have confirmed who the deceased is.
It was the former courtesan of Pingkangfang, Miss Jiaoshuang.
This woman disappeared ten years ago. Few people knew about the incident back then, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the investigation.
Everyone suddenly remembered Song Zhen and hoped that he could bring them more clues.
However, Song Zhen had been avoiding them. After finally meeting him, he only said that he was not good at reasoning and that he had to rely on my brother Jie to solve the case.
Five days have passed since the training of the Neijiaofang musicians.
One day, Song Zhen found Yuchi Qianniuwei, and he suddenly bowed and said, "General Yuchi."
The other party frowned and said, "How many times have I said that I am not a general?"
"In my opinion, Yuchi Jun is as powerful as a general."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
These days, Gongsun asked Song Zhen to bring some snacks into the palace and distribute them to the musicians in the Neijiaofang to taste.
As the saying goes, if the musicians in the Neijiaofang leave the palace one day and go out to find a job, the first thing they think of is Huichunfang.
In addition to the musicians, Song Zhen also distributes snacks to the Qianniuwei of the palace from time to time, smiling and saying thank you for your hard work.
Gradually, he and Yuchi have a good relationship.
Yuchi is now responsible for supervising the daily training of the Neijiaofang. He witnessed a shocking program from scratch.
Although he doesn't know music, it doesn't affect him at all. He thinks Song Zhen is awesome!
"I want you to draw your sword at the halftime of the show!"
"Draw your sword?"
"Yes!"
"That won't work! How can you draw your sword when the saint is here?"
"For the show effect." He pulled Yuchi forward, and when a certain melody node came, he smiled and said, "Don't you think it's very impressive to draw your sword and shout slogans here?"
"Ah this..."
