"I'm afraid not." Zhao Yuanxun shook his head.

He thought it would be better to speak more clearly, lest Fu Yun would come out two days later and say that he was willing to wait until Zhao Ruxi turned eighteen.

"My daughter likes to draw, so she also hopes to find someone who likes her," he said.

In this way, Fu Yunkai should understand, right?

Sure enough, Fu Yunkai's face looked a little pale.

Yes.

Many girls from aristocratic families are unwilling to marry soldiers because soldiers not only cannot stay at home, but also need to be stationed at the border for many years, and their lives are always in danger.

Miss Zhao Wu, since she is capable and beautiful, her status is not low. It is not good for her to marry anyone. Why must she marry a border soldier like him who will die before he knows when?

Fu Yunkai's mouth was filled with bitterness.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

"I understand, thank you uncle." He stood up, "Uncle, please take it easy. My nephew has something to do, so he will leave first. We will meet up for a drink later when we have time."

As he said that, he hugged Zhao Yuanxun, turned around and walked out the door.

Zhao Yuanxun let out a long sigh, sat there and slowly drank the wine in the glass, stood up and walked out, telling the restaurant waiter: "Pay the bill."

"Sir, that guy just now has paid for the food and drinks," the waiter said.

Zhao Yuanxun glanced outside blankly, sighed softly, and called to his entourage: "Let's go."

Back home, Zhao Ruxi had already eaten and was teaching Zhao Jingtai how to paint in the main courtyard.

Zhao Yuanxun walked over, sat next to them, looked at them silently for a while, and suddenly asked Zhao Ruxi: "Do you really not think about the marriage at Pingnan Marquis Mansion anymore? I think Fu Yunkai is really good."

Zhao Ruxi had already guessed what he was thinking when he was sitting here smelling of alcohol and not talking.

She shook her head and said, "No need. Just because he is good personally does not mean that the marriage is good."

Zhao Yuanxun sighed longly: "That's true."

He has not forgotten what his daughter analyzed with him last night.

He just feels a little pity. Young people like Fu Yunkai who are so outstanding in terms of conduct, status, ability, appearance and figure are really rare. He really feels sorry for his daughter if he misses her.

It doesn't matter if the daughter doesn't recognize Fu Yunkai's excellence. If she is attracted to him and knows that this marriage is inappropriate and not only bad for herself, but also bad for the uncle's family, the daughter will definitely be in pain and tangle.

It's better to just let this matter go.

Zhao Yuanxun made up his mind not to mention Fu Yunkai in front of his daughter again.

Neither Zhao Yuanxun nor Fu Yunkai knew that after they went back, a man in gray clothes went to the fifth prince's annex to listen to Taoxuan and reported to Xiao Lingyan everything about the conversation between Zhao Yuanxun and Fu Yunkai in the restaurant.

When Xiao Lingyan heard that Zhao Ruxi had indeed rejected the marriage, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and threw it in front of the man in gray: "Well done, I'll reward you."

"Thank you, Master." The man in gray bowed and retreated.

Xiao Lingyan walked back and forth in the room twice, walked to the table and wrote a letter in German. He asked Xiao Liuzi to call another man in gray and put the letter into his hand: "You can find a way to deliver it tomorrow."

In the hands of Miss Zhao Wu."

"yes."

Not long after the man in gray left, Xiao Lingyan was called to his other courtyard by Xiao Lingpu.

Xiao Lingpu looked at his younger brother, with his father's gratification on his face: "You are good at it. When you grow up, you are capable."

Xiao Lingyan naturally knew what Xiao Lingpu was talking about.

He pretended to be confused and said: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Fu Yunkai went to Suiping County to propose marriage, but was rejected." When Xiao Lingpu talked about this, he still found it incredible.

He asked: "How did you know that Suiping's residence would reject this marriage?"

As someone who needs to rely on the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to seize the throne, he will naturally not fail to pay attention to Fu Yunkai's marriage.

During this period, Fu Yunkai frequently invited Zhao Yuanxun to drink. Needless to say, he believed that the prince and several princes who were paying attention to the developments in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, as well as some caring people in the capital, had noticed this.

He was very unhappy with Fu Yunkai's choice. Regardless of whether the marriage was successful or not, it meant that Pingnan Houfu had their own small thoughts. However, compared to other aristocratic families, marrying Suipingpufu was within his tolerance range.

Guilty, so he didn't interfere too much secretly.

At that time, Xiao Lingyan told him that Suiping's house would not agree to the marriage, so he could rest assured. When he asked why, he said nothing and only asked him to see the result.

Now the result is indeed what Xiao Lingyan said.

So he was very curious about how his brother analyzed and came to the conclusion.

"What's so unpredictable about this?" Xiao Lingyan spread his hands, "Even if Uncle Suiping can't understand it, and Miss Zhao Wu can't understand it, doesn't Miss Zhao Wu have a master and a senior brother? How could they let Uncle Suiping's Mansion

Get into this muddy water?"

He chuckled softly: "Mr. Kumu has never been involved in such things. His three disciples are all Qingliu and have never been in any faction. Because of this, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Wuhuai Temple can be secure, right?

? Otherwise, anyone from any faction will be torn off if they sit on it."

Xiao Lingpu shook his head: "If Suiping's house goes to discuss with Mr. Kumu, this marriage will naturally not happen. But I guess they will not consider it at all. The titles of the two houses are not much different, but the status is very different.

.Not to mention anything else, if a girl from the Zhao family marries Yun Kai, it will be easy for a boy in the Suiping family to find a position in the army, and it will not be difficult to get promoted. Not to mention that Yun Kai is also very talented.

, his eloquence and ability are very good, and he is a quick son-in-law in the eyes of all the ladies in the capital."

"So I don't think the people in the Suiping Mansion will look so far and think so deeply. When they see Fu Yun come to propose marriage, they will be flattered and agree. I didn't expect them to refuse."

He was a little curious: "I don't know if they discussed it with Mr. Kumu, or if there is a capable person in the house who can understand the situation. If they didn't discuss it with Mr. Kumu, I would like to meet the capable person in their house who can see through this.

.”

When Xiao Lingyan heard what his brother said, he felt proud for no reason.

Isn't Zhao Ruxi so powerful? In her previous life, her mentor was slandered, but she found out the truth on her own, and set up a trap to make her opponent look bad, and to clear her mentor's innocence.

Now that she has read this book, she has a general understanding of the entire court situation and is clear about the future direction. Isn't it necessary to see through the calculations behind these people at a glance?

But he couldn't tell Xiao Lingpu about this. He had no intention of arguing with his brother.

He picked up a piece of snack from the table, threw it into his mouth, and said triumphantly: "Anyway, I was right about the result."
