Chapter 198: Betrothed

It is said that Xu Ji saw that the third child was unmoved, so he had no choice but to go to Ouyang Lun, and Ouyang Lun thought about it again and again and prepared to repeat his old tricks, and through the familiar officials of the Ministry of War, he put pressure on the two adults of the Taifu Temple, forcing them to send Xu Hao to a horse garden in a certain place, and then secretly kill some horses.

I didn't want Xu Hao to move the emperor easily last time, and changed the horses in the imperial horse prison, which made the military department realize that Xu Hao's holy family had not diminished at all, and the familiar official said that he would not do anything, once Xu Hao's vigilance was aroused, with his connections in the Jinyi Guard, it was too easy to find out that it was the ghost behind him.

Speaking of which, no one still wants to offend Jinyiwei, even the former Jinyiwei doesn't want to offend. Ouyang Lun had no choice but to endure it for the time being, and never mentioned helping Xu Ji to recommend him as an official, but Xu Ji was secretly angry and didn't mention it.

Xu Hao's status in the Taifu Temple has skyrocketed after this incident, and the two adults of Ma Niu have no time to offer him as a bodhisattva, so how can they be willing to transfer him to other places? Once there is something urgent, I hope to rely on Xu Hao to save the day.

Therefore, Xu Hao returned to the life of two points and one line, and lived a very simple life at work and off work.

Xu's Qianshoutang, Princess Lin'an came to chat with the old lady when she had nothing to do, and Xiao came over to accompany her, the two were of similar age, and they got along like sisters in the boudoir recently.

Talking about the children's family affairs, the old lady asked with a smile: "Have the two children in the family ever been engaged?" I have a daughter, so it's good to send your family to be your daughter-in-law. ”

Princess Lin'an smiled and pointed at Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was standing and waiting, and said with a smile: "Is there anyone as beautiful and capable as my niece?" If there is, then you're welcome. ”

"Yes, it's better than a child." Zhu Qiaoqiao followed along and said with a smile: "The eldest girl has a family, and the second girl must have a good appearance, have the ability to do everything, and be familiar with everything in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." He is a hundred times more capable than a child. ”

Princess Lin'an was moved, and she intended to enhance her relationship with the Xu family, so she hurriedly asked, "How old is the second girl in the family this year?" ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao glanced at the old lady and said vaguely: "I am eighteen years old this year, but I was delayed last year due to some things, and my wife didn't want to marry so early, so I stayed for an extra year." ”

Princess Lin'an suddenly understood that she had been engaged to marry only later, and with her recent observation of the Xu family's style, there would never be anything unruly. Therefore, he continued to ask: "The second girl is from the second wife?" ”

Xiao Shi intended to fulfill the green peach, and said with a smile: "It is my sister-in-law's own birth, I treat her like a new flesh and blood, our second girl and Hao'er sister and brother have a good relationship, no, now they live here." ”

Princess Lin'an was really a little disappointed at first, she treated Xu Hao like a nephew, and naturally thought that it would be best to kiss and kiss, according to Xiao's words. The two girls dared to be the daughter of the long house, and they had a good relationship with Xu Hao, so they immediately nodded with a smile.

The old lady was overjoyed, and now Qinglian Xu is married to the Zhang family in Beiping. The most worrying thing is the green peach who has not been married twice. The old man didn't want to be deceived, so he told the causes and consequences of the two marriages in 1510.

After hearing this, Princess Lin'an said: "I can't blame her for the poor child. The old lady really didn't hide it. My husband's family is full of beheadings, and I have nothing but the dignity of a princess. The suffering is indescribable, if you don't dislike it when you are old, the second son is fifteen years old, and I am willing to marry your mansion as a good friend of Qin and Jin. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao knew what was going on over there, and explained to the old lady: "Last year, with the consent of the saint, my cousin had already appointed the Guangling County Lord of the Jin Palace. ”

Princess Lin'an said: "Now the title of the deceased husband's family is impossible to inherit, and it is no different from the eldest son and the second son." Relatively speaking, the second son Li Mao has been sensible and studious since he was a child, and he has been admitted to Xiucai, and he will definitely be successful in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the women in the room were moved, and Xiao Shi said in surprise: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the descendant of the old prime minister, he is a talent at a young age, much stronger than Hao'er." ”

Princess Lin'an smiled happily: "How dare you compare with Hao'er? I'm counting on your son for both of them in the future. ”

"Oh." The old lady smiled and said: "You don't dislike my family, the old body is already very happy, how dare you dislike the princess?" Someone hurry up and invite the second girl to come over and meet her future mother-in-law first. ”

At this time, in the garden, Xu Hao came back from work early, everyone gathered in Xu Qinglian's house to play chess and gossip, and suddenly heard that Yuelan came to say hello in person, and immediately embarrassed Cui Tao, and her face was red like a ripe fresh peach.

Xu Hao is very satisfied with this family business, Li Mao is a good boy, and he will definitely love his daughter-in-law in the future, so he deliberately smiled strangely: "The female junior holds the gold brick, which is good." ”

Red Leaves and Green Bamboo played with nine links, clapped their hands and smiled: "I've lived here for so long, I haven't seen the young master in the house over there once, and I haven't heard any rumors, I must be a polite scholar, and the second sister will definitely come true this time." ”

Since Xu Qinglian accepted the dowry of the Zhang family at home, she has completely settled down, and is ready to marry her wholeheartedly, so she got up and said happily: "I will accompany the second girl to meet my future mother-in-law." After speaking, he pulled the reluctant Cui Tao away.

Xu Hao's eyes turned to Cuiyun and Cuiliu, who were smiling a little unnaturally, and said casually: "Don't worry, you two are only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, wait a year or two, and I promise that all your wishes will come true in the future." ”

Xu Cuiliu smiled lightly and said, "It's enough to have your words." ”

Xu Hao pondered for a while, he was really afraid that the eldest lady would marry off her daughter in the past two years, so he proposed: "After the first and second sisters get married, let's go to Beiping together to relax?" ”

Hongye's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I'm going, it just so happens that the eldest sister is going to Beiping to get married, how can I not go." ”

"That's right." Xu Hao said happily: "It's decided, and then we, as my mother's family, will make trouble with the new house in Beiping." ”

Xu Cuiliu had never left Jinling, and said happily when she heard the words: "Okay, I will definitely go." Xu Cuiyun said with a bitter face: "I'm most afraid of the cold, I have to think about it, let me think about it." ”

Xu Hao took a deep look at Cuiyun, and secretly said that there were some things that could not be forced by manpower, and sure enough, Cuiyun insisted on not going, maybe it was a blessing or a curse for her.

In Qianshoutang, Princess Lin'an was very satisfied when she saw the second lady of the Xu family, who was very good-looking, and took her hand and asked a few casual questions, and sure enough, it was just as her niece said. Knowledgeable and eloquent, is a talented lady, this time is more satisfied, as the eldest princess has always been used to dealing with people, immediately took off the crested hairpin on her head, the right to be a relative.

The Xu family didn't care about this, a princess is a princess, how can she be the same as an ordinary wife? Forget all the rules that have been agreed upon.

At that moment, the old lady ordered someone to go to Weijia Village to report the good news, and the Wang family was greatly surprised when he found out, and he couldn't stop smiling. However, Wang Xuanqing said disapprerovitically: "Mother, don't be happy first." Princess Lin'an is the most depressed among the princesses, and there is no one left in her husband's family, so it can be seen that her son will have no help in the officialdom in the future, and there will be no relatives to help when he encounters difficulties. ”

Wang said disapprerovingly: "Don't forget, that's the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, just with this identity, who dares to be disrespectful to her family?" Besides, how long has it been since the Li family's affairs, who remembers? I don't look at the side, I just want Cui Tao and his husband and wife to live a harmonious and beautiful life. That's enough. ”

Suddenly, Xu Ji came in from outside, and said excitedly: "Mother, I heard good news, the East Palace is going to draft a girl recently." With the appearance of green peaches and willows, if you send it in, you will be able to win the selection, and when you give birth to a child, you will be a concubine in the future. ”

Wang was stunned at first. Then he frowned and said, "It's a pity that you're late, Cui Tao just promised to be married." ”

Xu Ji was shocked, and said angrily: "Who did you promise?" Why didn't you discuss it beforehand? No way. I disagree. ”

Wang said angrily: "Do you agree to have a fart?" The ancestor agreed that it was useless to even oppose your mother and me, anyway, the matter has come to this point, there must be no more twists and turns, your sister can no longer withstand the toss, this family affair is ironclad. ”

Xu Ji shouted: "Mother! Are you willing to give up this God-given opportunity? In case Cui Tao becomes the imperial concubine, think about it, who won't come to slap you at that time? ”

Wang was unmoved, and sneered: "You dream." To put it lightly, there are many concubines in the palace, and now there is an imperial concubine? Don't think that the old lady doesn't know the dark and sneaky things in the palace, don't talk about anything else when Cui Tao goes in, it is unknown whether she can save her life, so you can't bear to send your sister in? ”

Xu Ji said speechlessly: "Then why did you send Cui Tao to the Qin Palace?" Now you can't give it away? ”

Wang said angrily: "If I say no, I can't, Cui Tao has been wronged in the past few years, how can I bear to wronged her for the rest of my life?" I'm just such a biological daughter, that's your sister-in-law. Don't think that the old lady can't guess your wishful thinking, you just want to use the green peach to attach to the emperor's grandson, so as to get an official position, yes or no? ”

Xu Ji was immediately told what was on his mind, his face turned red, and he stood up and said angrily: "All of you are for yourself, so no one thinks about me?" I can also see clearly, this family is the same with me or not, and I will move to Guozijian and never come back. ”

Wang was furious and stood up and pointed at his son: "You take a try, dare to go out half a step, and never come back." ”

Xu Ji saw that the old lady was really angry, and suddenly softened, and pouted: "The child is nothing more than a momentary angry talk, can you still take it seriously?" ”

Seeing this, Wang Xuanqing hurriedly said: "Mother, you are angry, my husband didn't mean to be angry with you, he probably didn't choose to say anything for a while, and said the wrong thing." ”

Wang's anger did not subside, and he said angrily: "You too, it's not good to persuade him, and blindly conniving." These days, he has books and doesn't read, and his mind is full of thinking about how to tie up with the powerful, this has no real talent and real learning, who will recommend him blindly? Okay, you two go back, think about it, you have to take the right path to be a man and an official. ”

Wang Xuanqing was suddenly surprised, when did his wife be so sober? It's so strange that this is so loud and insightful. Even Xu Ji looked at his mother incredulously, and said that he was evil, these words actually came from his mother's mouth?

The couple naturally didn't know, since Xiao and Zhu Qiaoqiao went to the capital, Wang Xuanqing was pregnant, and Wang had to take care of the family affairs himself.

Especially without a mother's family to rely on, and lost Zhu Qiaoqiao, a local tyrant, although the long house is still worry-free with the family property, but after all, it can't be compared with the previous prosperous time, the people under the long house have long been accustomed to taking advantage of oil and water over the years, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Since the second and third rooms without jealousy, the lonely Wang family has gradually figured out a lot of things. Coupled with the recent humiliation of her husband's resignation and the fact that her eldest son was almost killed, she finally understood that it was no longer the same as in the past.

If there is no old lady to rely on, if there is no nephew Xu Hao who causes trouble everywhere, there is no third brother who is an official, there is no support from the two younger siblings, if there is no worry about the eldest daughter-in-law and the supply of money?

With her husband and two sons and two daughters-in-law alone, she can't support the dignity of the Xu family at all, and even being bullied is inevitable.

In fact, the long house can be safely closed to live its own small life, around this countryside, the Xu family is the undisputed Xiaojia Village famous family, the problem is that the Wang family is unwilling, and everyone in the long house is unwilling.

PS: Thanks to the recent monthly ticket reward, the plot may be dull, Xiaochai is a strong ambush pen, Comrade Zhu is getting old, and it may be impossible to think of it in the future. Ask for all kinds of support and encouragement. (To be continued......)
