Fang Shilei has been soaking in the courtyard of Mrs. Fang San's house for a long time at Fang Zhai in Luoyue City.
"Mother, my son begs you, but you will leave Xiu'er alone." Fang Shilei pestered Mrs. Fang San to serve tea and beat her back for a while, and she was extremely attentive.
The night before last, Mrs. Fang took Fang Shilei back to Fang Zhai angrily, and lost her temper. She said she was going to send Xiu'er and Xiao Lian away, and she only gave Xiu'er and her daughter three days to pack their luggage.
Most of these three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiu'er is leaving tomorrow, so Xiu'er is naturally unwilling, and took her daughter Xiao Lian to Fang Shilei's place last night, and after a long time, she finally persuaded Fang Shilei to come to Mrs. Fang San She intercedes.
How could the things that happened in this house be hidden from Mrs. Fang's eyes and ears.
She lazily took a sip of the tea her son served, and said coldly: "Brother Lei, mother has already agreed with you, if you can marry your cousin Fei, mother will let that Xiu'er show her face. But now?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Fang San became angry again. On that day, she was still thinking that although Xiu'er went to the Zhennan Palace to make trouble, although it was immoral, it might be wrong. For Xiao Fei's name, Zhennan King He and Xiao Fang will definitely speed up the marriage, but who knows that Xiao Yi and Nan Gongyue, Cheng Yaojin, escaped and spoiled their good deeds!
After all, I still have to blame that Xiu'er for doing unnecessary things!
Only one step away, her son will become the son-in-law of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. After that, who in the Fang clan would dare to underestimate their house!
"Mother," Fang Shilei said with a smile on his face, "Although cousin Tianyi and Concubine Shizi came out to interfere, but you see, my aunt is always on our side, and if my aunt speaks kindly in front of my uncle, this marriage must be It can be done, but it will take more time." Fang Shilei said in a nice voice.
Mrs. Fang San thought about it carefully, and it was exactly this reason. Once King Zhennan speaks, will it be possible for Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue to disobey their father because of Xiao Fei's marriage
Mrs. Fang San's expression softened a little, she put down the teacup in her hand, and said slowly: "Brother Lei, anyway, as long as you don't marry your cousin Fei for a day, don't even think about marrying your Xiu'er. If you want to get your wish, you can marry her." Pay more attention to your cousin Fei! It's not that mother is making things difficult for you, think about it for yourself, our Fang family is not a small family, there is no reason for a regular wife to take a concubine before she is married..."
Mrs. Fang San was talking endlessly, and Fang Shilei responded without saying a word, and his mind had already flown to the sky.
At this moment, a little servant girl ran over panting, shouting: "Madam, no... it's not good!"
Mrs. Fang San frowned, and was about to reprimand the little servant girl, when she heard the other party continue: "A young master came to our gate to make trouble, saying... Said that the Sixth Young Master had always... rebelled against him and finally abandoned him!"
As soon as the little maid finished speaking, she fell silent, not daring to look up at her master.
little boy
Always abandon
What is this!
Mrs. Fang San stood up from the chair in anger, the veins on her forehead twitched, and cursed at the maid, "Then what are you waiting for?! Why don't you hurry up and find someone to drive that rogue away!"
As she said that, she squinted her eyes at Fang Shilei, her eyes seemed to say, you are too nonsense, right? You don’t care about visiting brothels on weekdays, but you even play with young men?!
Fang Shilei looked at Mrs. Fang San with an innocent face, and exclaimed aggrievedly: "Mother, that's none of my business!" He likes delicate and soft girls, how can he be with a man...
Who the hell is messing with him?!
"Yes, ma'am!" The little maid hurriedly retreated.
At the moment, the entrance of the Fangzhai is as lively as a vegetable market, with layers upon layers, even more lively than a temple fair.
In the center of the crowd, a young man wearing a moonlight robe was kneeling on the cold ground, but seeing his oval face, his appearance was even softer than the girl's, his eyes were dim with tears, and he was crying pitifully. I begged to the concierge: "Brother, please. Let me meet Brother Lei! I am sincere to Brother Lei... Even if Brother Lei marries a wife, I am willing to be a slave to take care of them. Go help Let me say good things and tell brother Lei not to leave me..."
The flustered concierge didn't know whether the young man had come to find fault, or if his young master had really caused a strange love affair outside. The concierge could only yell sternly: "Brother, you have misunderstood the wrong person. Hurry up! Otherwise, I will report to the police..."
"I won't leave until I see Brother Lei." The boy knelt there and said firmly.
The concierge's head was getting bigger, and seeing more and more people around him, they all pointed at their square house:
"I didn't expect this Young Master Fang to like men!"
"It's really knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts!"
"That's right, there are so many women in the world, how can you actually fall in love with a man?"
"..."
A little girl came out from an unknown corner, and said mysteriously to the old woman beside her, "Ma'am, have you heard of it? A few days ago, there was a woman who claimed to be Mr. Fang's concubine, I have to go to the Zhennan Palace to offer tea to Miss Xiao! Auntie, do you think it is because the Zhennan Palace rejects the marriage and the Fang family holds grudges, so you deliberately send people to the Palace to make trouble?"
"That makes sense." The old woman nodded in agreement, and squinted at the young man, "How could this eldest girl in the palace be willing to marry someone who has a penchant for breaking sleeves?!"
"That's right." An aunt suddenly came over to answer the question, "The eldest girl in the palace is not worried about marrying! However, this Fang family is too narrow-minded! The two families are also in-laws after all!"
"..."
At this time, a group of servants with wooden sticks came running aggressively, shouting fiercely one by one: "Who is talking nonsense here and dares to create rumors about our young master?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Everyone is full and has nothing to do, what's there to see!?"
The members of the Fang family drove away the spectators in a panic, but the atmosphere in a green-covered carriage not far away was very cheerful.
Thrush, dressed in a green dress and dressed up in disguise, got back into the carriage excitedly, and returned to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue: "Master, Concubine, this young master will not be able to clean himself up even if he jumps into the Yellow River!"
It's really a joy to use the way of others to return to others!
The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up. She didn't care if the Fang family guessed that she was behind the scenes. This time, it was the Fang family who bullied people too much.
She lowered the curtain by the window, turned her head to Xiao Yi who was beside her and said, "A Yi, it's up to you for the rest!"
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and boasted triumphantly: "Ah Yue, don't worry. I won't keep it for tonight, and the whole city will know about it!"
Nangong Yue held his hand with a smile.
If you try to suppress the rumors with clarifications, you will only make the matter worse. Xiao Fei is a girl who has not left the cabinet, so she can't be involved in this kind of nonsense anymore.
So, just use new rumors to bring everything over!
I just hope that the damage to Xiao Fei's reputation can be minimized...
"Let's go back."
As soon as the master gave an order, the coachman waved his whip, and the green-covered carriage headed towards the palace.
Entered the Bixiao Hall from the gate of the East Street, got out of the carriage, and saw Que'er was already waiting there, and said, the patriarch is here!
This patriarch refers to the patriarch of the Xiao clan, who is the eldest cousin of the old Zhennan king. Back then, the old Zhennan king's parents died and he was raised by his cousin's family, so he respects this cousin very much. That's why he became the patriarch of the Xiao family. Even the king of Zhennan has to give way to this cousin.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue exchanged glances, secretly feeling a little strange.
The king of Zhennan threatened them not to allow Nangong Yue to enter the genealogy the day before yesterday, but today the patriarch came. Is this just a coincidence
Que'er continued: "My lord, my concubine, my lord wants you to go to Furui Hall to offer tea after you go back."
After all, Nangong Yue married into the Xiao family, so in order to avoid being criticized by others, she should also meet the patriarch and offer tea. It's just that when she went to Furuitang, she had to let her see Zhennan Wang's face. Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's face can't help but sink slightly.
Nangong Yue saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Ayi, let's go and salute the patriarch." She paused, and then said, "We have to go and see what the patriarch is here for. So that we don't have to deal with it passive."
Xiao Yi finally nodded and went to Furuitang with her.
After asking the servant girl to report, Xiao Yi took her hand and walked in. At the same time, the two old men who were talking to King Zhennan also turned their heads and looked over. They were about sixty years old, with gray beard and hair, and pale faces, and their appearance was three or four points similar.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue bowed to King Zhennan together.
At this time, one of the old men who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair said with some hesitation, "...is this A Yi?"
It has been six years since Xiao Yi left. At that time, he was just a slightly childish boy, his appearance resembled his mother, but he didn't know who he resembled in this temperament, and he was very naughty on weekdays... Fortunately, now that he is getting older, he also has Looks like a son!
"Ah Yue, this is the patriarch."
Nangong Yue blessed her body, "I have met the patriarch."
The maids brought tea, and after the patriarch drank the tea respected by the two of them, he first smiled at Xiao Yi, then looked at Nangong Yue, and saw her calm smile, clear eyes, standing respectfully Xiao Yi's side did not look like the "diagnosed woman" that King Zhennan kept saying.
However, people should not be judged by their appearance, the patriarch remained calm, smiled kindly and said: "I haven't seen you in a few years, A Yi has grown up so much, your grandfather will be pleased to know. You are already married, You can no longer be so naughty as when you were a child, always making your father angry."
Xiao Yi replied indifferently: "What the patriarch said is true."
Nangong Yue didn't even raise her eyebrows. Although she was only meeting the patriarch of the Xiao clan for the first time, if the patriarch could really act fairly, how could Xiao Yi in the previous life be forced to such a degree? One is muddy.
Xiao Yi brought Nangong Yue to another old man and introduced, "This is the sixth old man."
Nangong Yue saluted with a smile, "I have seen the sixth old man."
The two also offered tea, which was regarded as a recognition of their relatives.
Then Xiao Yi was about to take Nangong Yue to leave, when he heard Zhennan Wang impatiently shout, "Stop."
Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks, and asked with a half-smile: "Is there anything else you can do, father?"
"The patriarch just came to see this king and asked about your marriage." Zhennan Wang said impatiently, "You have been married for more than a year, and the marriage was granted by imperial decree. My Xiao family is not nothing. For a well-behaved family, since it is the first wife of the eldest son, it should also be listed on the ancestral tree."
Speaking of this, King Zhennan was very depressed.
He had thought well at first, and he would never let this rebellious son get his wish easily, but the patriarch came to him early this morning and asked about Xiao Yi's marriage. The fact that Emperor Xiao Yimeng bestowed the marriage, not to mention the Xiao family, is well known even in Southern Xinjiang, so there is nothing to hide, so King Zhennan said it, but unexpectedly the patriarch asked when he would give the concubine a genealogy.
The concubine is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and she is the dignified princess. She has been in the family for more than a year and has not committed any "seven outs" major mistakes. Until now, she has not opened an ancestral hall. It is really inappropriate to report to her ancestors.
Although the King of Zhennan is a vassal king, among the clans, the words of the patriarch carry weight.
What's more, the words are indeed correct. With the four words "Imperial decree granting marriage", it is absolutely impossible for the Nangong family to be divorced... However, if he bowed his head to this rebellious son so easily, wouldn't it be the future? Will it only make it more arrogant?!
