Chapter 1450: 755 Complaint
Three days later, the Fang family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.
The news immediately reached Xiao Rongxuan's ears through the maid. In the past three days, Xiao Rongxuan had almost been unable to sleep or eat, her face had lost weight, her chin was pointed, and there was a heavy shadow right now. Haven't slept well for a few days.
She tried to comfort her sister-in-law if she was frightening her, but she always said that she was right...
Sure enough, the Fang family's matchmaker really came!
Xiao Rongxuan was so frightened that she hurriedly wanted to rush to Bixiao Hall, but was stopped by the woman who was guarding the door at the corner gate. Xiao Rongxuan was so anxious that she made a loud noise, and finally even her biological mother Jin came to hear the news. Xiao Rongxuan was persuaded to go back.
The servants breathed a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that Xiao Rongxuan would rush to the main hall of the front yard early the next morning.
"Father, you must decide for your daughter!"
Ignoring the obstruction of the maid under the eaves, Xiao Rongxuan rushed into the hall regardless, and knelt down with a plop.
The originally lively hall was silent for a moment, the king of Zhennan was as black as charcoal, and several guests looked at each other.
King Zhennan said in a stiff tone: "Sister Xuan, didn't you see that this king has guests here?" He gave a wink to the maid who was waiting for the tea, meaning he didn't bring the second girl down!
Of course Xiao Rongxuan knew that her actions would anger her father, but she had no choice but to do so!
She gritted her back molars, raised her haggard face, and wept with tears in her eyes: "Father, my daughter has always respected my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law deliberately abused her daughter, and it is clear that the three rooms of Fang's family have been exiled. , the sister-in-law actually wants to betrothed her daughter to cousin Lei of the Fang family! Father, the daughter can only come to you to call the shots!"
The surroundings became quieter, and the next Marquis Pingyang cleared his throat in embarrassment, then stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Since the lord has family affairs...then this Marquis will leave first."
Immediately after, Tang Qinghong and another middle-aged soldier who were sitting across from him also stood up with a bit of embarrassment on their faces, and they all said goodbye.
The three guests left quickly, and King Zhennan's face was blue and white, and he said angrily: "come here, ask the concubine to go to Huayue Hall." After speaking, he looked at the kneeling on the ground and bowed his head. Xiao Rongxuan sobbing, "Also, you also come with this king!" Then, he flung his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
Xiao Rongxuan responded in a low voice, she knew that her father cared most about his face, so she chose to run when her father was meeting guests, angering him and forcing him to decide for her.
After a cup of tea, Nangong Yue, who got the news, came to the Huayue Hall in the inner courtyard of the palace.
King Zhennan, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, had already drank a cup of tea and calmed down a little.
Unlike his rebellious son, Concubine Shizi has always been sensible and prudent in her actions. How could she betroth Sister Xuan to the third room of the Fang family who colluded with Baiyue? Could it be that there was something wrong in this? !
"Father," Nangong Yue smiled, and she stepped forward calmly and bowed to King Zhennan, without even looking at Xiao Rongxuan, who was sitting beside her weeping.
Xiao Rongxuan glanced at Nangong Yue timidly, her body trembled, like a weak white rabbit, her tearful eyes looked at King Zhennan pitifully.
The king of Zhennan was anxious and said to Nangong Yue straight to the point: "Prince Shizi, this king heard that the Fang family came to the palace to propose marriage, but that Fang Shilei's morality was not good. Although sister Xuan is a concubine, she is also this king. My daughter, marrying such an immoral and incompetent person, wouldn’t it be a joke for outsiders to see our palace!”
"Fang Shilei?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows suspiciously and asked, "I don't know where the father got the news, the Fang family did send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, but he is the second son of the second room of the Fang family, and he lives in the family for seven years. The second house of Fang's family is upright and upright. This young master Fang Qi is young and promising. Last year, he just got into the martial arts. Yi has seen him a few days ago. He said that he is a good person. How about sex. My daughter-in-law thinks that the Fang family knows the root and can be kissed and kissed, and I think this marriage is not bad..."
What? ! Not Fang Shilei? ! Xiao Rongxuan couldn't believe her ears, she forgot to pretend to cry for a while, and looked up at Nangong Yue in disbelief.
If it's really like what my sister-in-law said, then for me, this is an excellent marriage. Although from now on, Fang Qigong has just entered the military camp, and his future is not obvious. After all, the son is the direct son of the Fang family. He has his own elder brother to take care of him, and his eldest brother Xiao Yi supports him in the army. In the future, his future is bound to be limitless!
Could it be that the Fang family came to propose marriage for the Seventh Young Master? Did you misunderstand?
Xiao Rongxuan's cherry lips moved, wanting to speak, but she couldn't interrupt.
Nangong Yue still didn't look at Xiao Rongxuan, and continued to speak unhurriedly: "Father, sister Fei is the eldest sister. Originally, the eldest sister has not decided on a marriage, and neither can the younger sisters, but the daughter-in-law is thinking about the rules to follow. Yes, but it can be changed a little. Sister Fei is the eldest daughter after all, and marriage cannot be decided in three or two days. The younger sisters are also getting older, and the daughter-in-law thinks that even if it is not possible to decide the marriage immediately , If there is a suitable one, you can also communicate with each other first, and when the time comes, you can give the marriage in one go."
King Zhennan's face has completely eased, he turned his anger into joy, stroked his beard, and nodded with satisfaction: "This candidate is a good candidate, and the prince's concubine has fully considered." Empress Dowager, he really did not worry a lot.
Xiao Rongxuan looked at King Zhennan with a hopeful expression on her face, hoping that King Zhennan would make the decision for her to allow this marriage on the spot.
In the next instant, Nangong Yue sighed quietly.
"Father, I'm afraid this marriage won't happen now." Nangong Yue said embarrassedly, "Daughter-in-law just heard that the second sister openly said in front of the Marquis of Pingyang and General Tang that she would not marry the son of the Fang family..."
Xiao Rongxuan was dumbfounded, and her heart skipped a beat.
King Zhennan's brows were locked, and he remembered the scene of Xiao Rongxuan gazing into the hall before.
That's right, the remarks of the rebel girl just now were heard by Marquis Pingyang, Tang Qinghong, and the others. Maybe it has already spread among the various houses... Outsiders don't care about the Fang's house, they only know that it belongs to the palace. The girl does not want to marry the son of the Fang family.
Now even if the palace is willing to marry a daughter, the second room of the Fang family already has a problem, and even outsiders may think that it was the prince concubine who forced Xiao Rongxuan to marry.
"Idiot!" King Zhennan glared at Xiao Rongxuan angrily, his eyes almost bursting with fire. This idiot who doesn't understand etiquette really has nothing to lose the face of the palace!
Xiao Rongxuan hurriedly stood up, knelt down again, and said, "Father, my daughter was just being deceived, thinking... that my sister-in-law wanted to marry her to cousin Lei, so... my daughter knew it was wrong."
Nangong Yue continued as if she had never heard of it: "Father, so...the marriage of the other sisters, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to take care of it." She looked helpless and thankful.
Hearing this, King Zhennan is also in a hurry. If the concubine doesn't care about the marriage of the daughters, would it be possible for him to take care of the dignified King Zhennan? !
King Zhennan comforted her with kind words: "Prince Concubine, I naturally trust you, and the marriage of your sisters will bother you more." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Rongxuan with displeased eyes.
Xiao Rongxuan, who was kneeling on the carpet, hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong! It was me who was reckless. Sister-in-law, you don't remember villains."
"Second sister, I have something I want to ask you." After entering the hall, Nangong Yue looked directly at Xiao Rongxuan for the first time, and said slowly, "Everyone in the mansion only knew that the Fang family came to propose marriage, but I don't know about the two How does my sister think that it will be Fang Shilei to propose marriage, is it because the second sister and Fang Shilei have something..."
Xiao Rongxuan's heart trembled, she lowered her head, avoiding Nangong Yue's sharp gaze, her eyes flickered, of course she couldn't tell the story of the white jade ring, if she did, her father would not forgive her!
Xiao Rongxuan, who bowed her head, did not see the doubts in King Zhennan's eyes. King Zhennan naturally saw the guilty conscience in the eyes of the second daughter, but what was she guilty of? ……and many more! What's the connection between this man and a woman? Could it be that the second daughter and Fang Shilei actually taught each other privately? Later, the third house of the Fang family fell into disrepair, so she despised Fang Shilei?
Thinking of Fang Shilei's romantic affairs in the past, the more Wang Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility, and the blue veins floated on his forehead. Xiao Rongxuan is such an idiot!
Nangong Yue looked at King Zhennan's angry face, sighed and said again: "Father, the daughter-in-law really doesn't dare to care about the marriage of these two younger sisters..."
That can't be managed! Besides Fang Shilei, who else would dare to ask for this girl's family who has been taught and accepted privately? ! If this is after being married off and being returned, then Zhennan Wangfu's face will be completely lost! The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more angry he became. He really wanted to slap the face of this rebel girl.
King Zhennan took a deep breath and said decisively to Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, you don't need to worry about Sister Xuan's marriage. This king is in charge of marrying Sister Xuan to Fang Shilei!"
"Yes, King Father!" Nangong Yue respectfully blessed her body, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly from an angle that King Zhennan couldn't see.
Xiao Rongxuan was dumbfounded again, she almost suspected that she was dreaming, what the hell was going on? The father king unexpectedly wanted to marry her to Fang Shilei?
"Father, I know I was wrong." Xiao Rongxuan raised her face and hurriedly said, "I don't want to marry cousin Lei!"
What cousin Lei? ! King Zhennan listened more and more harshly. He only felt that he was slapped on the spot, and said coldly: "If you don't marry, you have to marry! Otherwise, you will give this king a green lamp and an ancient Buddha!"
Once the final decision is made, there is no room for turning around!
Xiao Rongxuan's face was completely bloodless, and despair was written in her eyes. She is a girl from the palace. She was supposed to marry a good family and get a good son-in-law, but in a short moment, her dream was shattered, and she was going to marry Fang Shilei, who was exiled in the frontier?
How did her life turn out like this? !
She seemed to fall straight down from the cliff all of a sudden, all the way to the bottomless abyss...
She suddenly slumped out of strength, her face full of resentment and regret. Xiao Fei, it was Xiao Fei who harmed her! Otherwise, how could he have a relationship with Fang Shilei!
"Don't take people down for this king!" King Zhennan made a gesture, and two women with big arms and round waists came up, grabbed Xiao Rongxuan from left to right and dragged him down...
Only Xiao Rongxuan's unwilling voice came hysterically from outside the hall: "Father, listen to me, I don't want to marry..." Her mouth seemed to be covered, and soon she could not hear anything.
The Huayue Hall gradually became quiet again. Just as Nangong Yue was about to leave, she saw King Zhennan clearing his throat, looking at her with a hopeful expression and asking, "Prince Shizi, how is Brother Yu today?"
Nangong Yue was already familiar with this sentence.
Basically, if she came to see King Zhennan without Xiao Xiaoyu, she would hear such a similar greeting, but left and right was "Is brother Yu still good today?" "It's hot today, brother Yu. Isn't it hot?" …
Nangong Yue smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Yu is sleeping, so my daughter-in-law didn't bring him here."
King Zhennan stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't disturb him, he needs to sleep more to grow his head. Brother Yu is much taller than the little dolls of the same age, which is like this king!" He said smugly.
After a pause, King Zhennan changed his words and said again: "Princess Shizi, this king has asked to rearrange several rooms in the main courtyard. Do you think Brother Yu will like it?"
Nangong Yue was reported to Nangong Yue about the re-arrangement of the main courtyard by King Zhennan. When she came in, she also noticed that the Huayue Hall was covered with a soft carpet, and even the corners of the desk chairs were wrapped with cloth , Whoever this is for, everyone in the palace knows very well.
Nangong Yue followed his words and nodded: "Brother Yu will like what the father arranged." Nangong Yue is also telling the truth. Xiao Xiaoyu is really active at his age. He doesn't know anything about beauty and ugliness. Climb, drill wherever you go.
King Zhennan smiled even more, and said triumphantly: "This king knows that Brother Yu will definitely like it, Concubine Shizi, you will let Brother Yu come to play more in the future."
Nangong Yue responded with a smile.
King Zhennan's heart was completely relieved. He just felt that this daughter-in-law was really filial. It was no wonder that his baby Jinsun had a good temperament and was like a concubine.
Thinking about it, King Zhennan sent Nangong Yue away graciously.
After leaving the Huayue Hall, Nangong Yue no longer concealed the smile on the corner of her mouth. Originally, with the current situation of the Fang family's third room, it was impossible for King Zhennan to agree to marry Xiao Rongxuan to Fang Shilei, but now Xiao Rongxuan has made such a scene. Pile of marriage will be smooth sailing.
In the final analysis, this is also Xiao Rongxuan's self-inflicted suffering, if she didn't make trouble today, she wouldn't be like this.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips, thought of something again, and instructed, "Baihui, go and invite your second aunt, Mrs. Qiu, to visit the mansion for a chat."
The second room was now two blocks away, not far away. After Nangong Yue had lunch, Mrs. Qiu came. Mrs. Qiu is a widow, and she wears very plain clothes, wearing a blue auspicious dark pattern Beizi, with a simple round bun on her head, her face is very plain, dignified and amiable, but her eyes are faintly revealing. A little apprehension.
Nangong Yue had some respect for this second aunt who had been a widow for many years and brought up a pair of children, got up and asked him to sit down.
Seeing Nangong Yue's friendly attitude, Qiu finally felt relieved.
After the maid served Qiu's hot tea, Nangong Yue talked about the seventh son of Fang's second room with a smile, and then in Qiu's puzzled eyes, she said, "Second aunt, I think that Fang Seventh Young Master is not bad, would you like to think about it?"
What to consider, of course, is to consider the marriage between Fang Qigong and Xiao Ni. Qiu's is a smart person, he suddenly understood the meaning of Nangong Yue's words, and his face was shocked.
The second room has been separated from the palace, and naturally it will not be able to get the light of the palace. The son is too young to support the door. Although he can eat and drink, he can also eat and drink, but he lacks confidence, just like ordinary wealthy people. General household...
Daughter Xiao Ni is already thirteen years old, and Mrs. Qiu has long been worried about whether her daughter will stay in the Ming and Qing Temple for the rest of her life. See, Concubine Shizi is a generous person, not only does not hold grudges, but also arranges such a good marriage for her daughter.
It is also a blessing for the Xiao family to have such a daughter-in-law as the imperial concubine!
only……
Qiu Shi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Prince Prince, I have an unkind request..."
Nangong Yue had already understood Qiu's concern, "Second aunt, Young Master Fang Qi came to the palace to visit the prince today, would you like to go quietly and have a look?"
Qiu hurriedly thanked Nangong Yue and went with Baihui.
But after a cup of tea, Baihui took Mrs. Qiu with her. Seeing Mrs. Qiu's happy brows, she knew that she was extremely satisfied with the seventh son.
"Second aunt," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "after you go back, send someone to Heyucheng to check the character of Seventh Young Master Fang. If you think he is okay, let someone come and tell me. Second aunt feels that okay?"
Nangong Yue couldn't be more thoughtful, and Qiu's eyes were sore with excitement. She half-closed her eyes, calmed herself, and thanked Nangong Yue prudently. I don't say thank you for my great kindness. The concubine's goodness, I and my sons and daughters wrote it down.
After that, Baihui personally sent the Qiu family out of the house.
Watching their backs leave, Que'er couldn't help but sighed in a low voice, "Concubine Shizi, in fact, Lord Shizi was an old man in his previous life."
Thrush and Ying'er couldn't help laughing.
Nangong Yue couldn't help imagining how Xiao Yi was messing around with a bunch of red threads, and laughed, "Your son-in-law doesn't have that patience!"
However, this time, the real matchmaker is indeed Xiao Yi.
Because of the passing of Xiao Fang's family and the troubles of the third house of the Fang family, the Fang family felt that they had drifted farther and farther from the Zhennan palace, and the few houses discussed trying to ease the relationship between the two families. First, let the prince Grandpa knew that their Fang family had a lot of talents, so the Fang family elders selected a few outstanding ones from the young children and took them to Xiao Yi to see, saying that they were going to join the army.
Xiao Yi picked out the Seventh Young Master Fang from among the Young Masters. After a few days of examination, he was placed in the army.
"Joining the army" is the first step in the Fang family's trial, and the second step is the Fang family's second room approaching Xiao Yi again, wanting to see if they can marry the Wangfu again. For Xiao Yi, he was too lazy to care about these matters, but his concubine had been worrying about the marriages of his father's daughters, so he had to bring the words to Nangong Yue.
At that time, Nangong Yue felt that although Mr. Fang Qi was good, he was still unworthy of Xiao Fei, and the two concubines of the palace, Xiao Rongxuan and Xiao Rongying, were very charming and had high self-esteem. I'm just afraid that I will marry the Fang family in a condescending manner, and in the end, instead of marrying, I will become enmity.
Therefore, Nangong Yue thought of Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni has a calm and reserved temperament, but she just followed the widowed mother and was a little confused about the world, so she fell into the trap of others. Wuhe Gao has taught her a heavy lesson, and it has been almost two years in the blink of an eye... Nangongyue occasionally heard some news from the Mingqing Temple, saying that Xiao Ni not only recites scriptures in the Mingqing Temple Worshiping Buddha, and sweeping every day like ordinary nuns, taking care of their own daily life, and following the nuns to help in the shantang, taking care of the abandoned orphans, now independent and strong, the whole person has been like a new life.
I hope she can make it through the hardships and achieve a good marriage with Mr. Fang Qi!
It's just that Sister Fei's marriage is still unresolved...
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue couldn't help but sighed.
While thinking, seeing Baihui returning from seeing the guest, Nangong Yue said, "Baihui, you don't need to worry about it from now on." Xiao Ni is the only daughter of the second aunt, and the second aunt has a stable personality. For the sake of her daughter's future, Obviously, he will check it out, "It's up to the two of them to decide whether they will succeed or not."
"Yes, Concubine Shi." Baihui naturally answered the order, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, the baby's cry of "wow" came from inside, and Xiao Xiaoyu woke up.
Whether it's Nangong Yue or the maids, they all know that the little guy is hungry.
Nangong Yue walked quickly into the inner room, the nurse was picking up the little guy, patting him on the back, and reassuringly said: "Little grandson, don't worry, the concubine is here."
The little guy quickly fell into his mother's arms...
