An Ziang quickly opened the letter, at first he raised his eyebrows slightly.
In this secret letter, Mrs. An stated that he had asked Miss An San to come to Luoyue City, and told An Ziang and his wife to find a way to send her to the Zhennan Prince's mansion as a successor to the Zhennan King.
Seeing this, An Ziang frowned. He also knew that since King Zhennan divorced his wife, he would definitely remarry later.
But their third daughter is only fifteen years old. Once she is married to Zhennan Wang as the successor, although she is the first-rank Zhennan Wangfei and the most honorable woman in southern Xinjiang, wouldn't the generations of Xiao and An be the same? messed up
Will he be regarded as Shiziye's uncle in the future, or Shiziye's grandfather
Isn't this to please the prince, but offend the son
Today, the prince is indeed in the age of the dragon and the tiger, but it is not as good as the son's reputation in southern Xinjiang, and his wings are full. Isn't it a bit of a waste of money to be the prince instead of the son? !
In just a short while, An Ziang's thoughts were already spinning, and he almost doubted whether his father had lost his mind.
He collected himself and continued to look down. This look made his face turn pale with fright.
Mrs. An was probably afraid that An Ziang would disapprove, so between the lines, he personally revealed the biggest secret of the An family, which is also the secret of how the An family rose again.
For a long time, An Ziang has been fond of his grandfather, An, who organized a fleet to go to sea and revive the An family, but he didn't realize that all of this was a lie. too big!
This is collaborating with the enemy and treason! Once the news gets out, then Anjia...
An Ziang's body shook slightly, and he almost missed it.
"Master!" Mrs. An called out nervously, with a faint ominous feeling in her heart.
An Ziang waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and gritted his teeth and continued to look down.
At the end of the letter, Mrs. An earnestly told An Ziang that now that Baiyue had already set in the west, they also planned to draw a clear line with Baiyue. But the big mistake has already been made, once it is discovered, their entire family will be destroyed in an instant, if they want to save their lives, they have to tie up with the palace.
The son and the concubine have a very strong relationship, and I am afraid that there is no room for a third person. Therefore, for the current plan, the only way for the An family to survive is to let Miss An San become the successor to the King of Zhennan and give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future!
After An Ziang read the letter, he immediately put away this secret letter that was related to the An family's wealth and life, and planned to burn it privately later. Mrs. An hurriedly asked An Ziang what was said in the letter, but An Ziang said half of what was said, and kept half of it hidden, saying that Mrs. An planned to let Miss An San be the successor of the King of Zhennan. I don't want to say more...
The next day, An Zhihua, the third daughter of the An family, arrived in Luoyue City.
At the same time, An Ziang heard that the third wife of the Fang family was expelled from the clan by the patriarch of the Fang clan on the charge of "If the wives and concubines are not separated, the family will be in chaos;
Obviously, the Fang family wanted to disassociate themselves from Xiao Fang's!
This also means that Zhennan King and the eldest son's third wife and even the entire Fang family are extremely disgusted by the matter of Xiao Fang's family. Su Xian will definitely not choose from Fang's family again. This may be the opportunity to settle down!
In the future, if he is in charge of the An family, he will definitely leave Baiyue clean. After all, the southern border still depends on Zhennan Wang for stability.
The An family took the time to prepare, and randomly found a name, and invited all the houses to come to the banquet, including Zhennan Prince's House of course.
An Ziang personally sent a gold-sprinkled post with plain patterns to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. He never thought that the Zhennan King and the prince would not see any visitors today, so he could only leave the post at the office.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but inquired about it, only to find out that today the patriarch and several elders of the Xiao family have come.
In Guipu Hall, King Zhennan, Xiao Yi, Nan Gongyue, Xiao Luan, and Xiao Fei all arrived.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Chen said bluntly to Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei: "You must have heard that your grandfather left a huge inheritance. Now it has been found out that this inheritance was left by your grandfather. It is for the eldest son Xiao Yi, not for you two brothers and half as said that day..." As he spoke, he told Xiao Fang's family to persuade Fang San and Fang Six to change the will of the old Zhennan King in an attempt to seize the property. It's all said and done.
Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei were stunned when they heard this, and the latter's face turned even paler, and he couldn't help thinking bitterly: Mother even managed to collude with the enemy's Baiyue, and for her to occupy the eldest brother's property, maybe It's nothing.
After Xiao Chen told the story, he continued: "I discussed with your father and king. You should follow your grandfather's will and hand over the entire property to the eldest son. However, for more than ten years, your mother Xiao Fang's While taking care of the property, he also embezzled a large amount of dividends. At present, it is at least two million taels of silver. According to my intention and the prince's intention, I will give all of Xiaofang's dowry to the eldest son as compensation. Luan Brother, Sister Fei, what do you two think?"
Xiao Luan agreed without saying a word: "What uncle and grandfather said is true, so give it all to elder brother!"
Xiao Chen stroked his gray beard, and nodded in satisfaction: Brother Luan finally knows right from wrong and understands righteousness. He is worthy of being a child of the Xiao family.
"It's so inappropriate." Xiao Fei objected aloud, her little face, which had just recovered from a serious illness, had no color, and her body looked thinner.
Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also greatly inappropriate. Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Fei in surprise, and remained silent.
According to the rules, Xiao Fei and Xiao Luan should share half of Xiao Fang's dowry in the future, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yi. If the dowry is taken, it will definitely be criticized.
Sister Fei really grew up and knew how to think.
Nangong Yue said with emotion, and quietly blinked at Xiao Yi who was beside her, meaning to tell him not to speak first. She wanted to see how Xiao Fei would deal with it.
Both Xiao Chen and King Zhennan looked at Xiao Fei suspiciously, and Xiao Chen said, "Sister Fei, what do you say?"
Could it be that Xiao Fei is unwilling to give Xiao Yi all of Xiao Fang's dowry
Not only Xiao Chen thought so, but King Zhennan also thought so, frowning slightly.
"Grandfather, father," Xiao Fei replied in a slightly austere voice, "I think that we should first compare the dowry list of my mother when she married into the palace and count the dowry before discussing it."
Xiao Chen and King Zhennan looked at each other, it was not unreasonable, even if Xiao Fang's dowry was to be compensated to Xiao Yi, they had to count how much dowry they had before proceeding.
"Just as you said." King Zhennan agreed.
And Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi, and asked, "My lord, what do you think?"
Xiao Yi, who was sitting leisurely on an armchair beside him, casually responded and agreed.
Afterwards, the Xiao family in the whole room dispersed one after another. King Zhennan and Xiao Chen stepped out of the hall first, and Xiao Luan also hurriedly slipped away behind them, and even glanced at Xiao Yi nervously, as if A mouse is like a cat.
Xiao Fei stood up hesitantly, and after a moment of hesitation, she walked up to Nangong Yue.
Her slightly whitish lips moved slightly, and she wanted to talk to Nangong Yue, but she was a little afraid, she hesitated to speak, because she was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would misunderstand her suggestion just now, thinking that she was dissatisfied.
"Sister Fei!" Nangong Yue stood up with a smile, and took her hand affectionately, her bright eyes shone brightly, "How about you come and have lunch with me later?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi's face darkened immediately, obviously lunch was for him and Ah Yue, why should there be a third person for no reason? !
Xiao Fei didn't see Xiao Yi's expression at all, she stared blankly at Nangong Yue, and for a moment, a huge stone in her heart was let down a little, and she nodded slowly...
Then, the palace became busy. Zhennan Wang personally ordered his servants to count the dowry in the treasury according to Xiaofang's dowry list, and also checked Xiaofang's private treasury.
Xiao Fang's family is a concubine's daughter, although the Fang family prepared far more dowry for her than ordinary concubines because she married into the palace, but after all, she is a step-wife, and no matter what, she can't compete with the eldest son of the eldest family, Dafang's family. Compared with women, the total is only sixty-four.
However, when I checked, I found that there were a lot of antique calligraphy and painting heads, etc., such as white marble peony screens, golden jade clothes, and several precious calligraphy and paintings by the masters of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty. Xiao Fang's dowry is at least five times higher than when she married into the palace! And in her private treasury, the total sum of zeros and zeros is worth at least four to five hundred thousand silver.
It took a full two days before the servants made a new account book and presented the new account book to King Zhennan.
King Zhennan was very annoyed when he saw it. Xiao Fang clearly embezzled the money left by his father to A Yi as her own private house, and maybe gave it back to a lot of people in Baiyue!
Witnessed by patriarch Xiao Chen and several elders, King Zhennan publicly announced that apart from Xiao Fang's original dowry, which would be left to Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei in the future, the rest would be handed over to Xiao Yi. So far, it has been delayed for nearly a year The division of production for the past year has finally come to an end...
When Bai Zhou reported the matter to Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei didn't say anything, but waved her hand to signal her to back down. Based on her understanding of her mother, Xiao Fang, she had already guessed that this would be the result.
There was a lot of bitterness in Xiao Fei's eyes, and she locked herself in the room for another afternoon, until the servant girl came to report that Nangong Yue was here, and she managed to pull herself together.
The matter was finally settled, and Xiao Fei gradually recovered under Nangong Yue's care.
As Xiao Luan's wedding was approaching, in order to divert her attention, Nangong Yue took her along to organize Xiao Luan's wedding on the grounds that she was too busy.
Xiao Fei was almost fully devoted to the trivial matters of the big wedding, even more active than Nangong Yue, but she didn't ask a word about Xiao Fang's future, as if she wanted to use this to forget everything. But even if she managed to pull herself together, everyone in the palace could see that Xiao Fei was unhappy.
The more sensible Xiao Fei became, the more worried Nangong Yue became. She only hoped that she could get out of the shadow of this incident as soon as possible. After all, people can choose anything, except their parents.
On April 26th, Guan Yubai set off for Wuli City in Nanliang, Xiao Yi personally saw him off and sent him all the way to Shili Pavilion before returning.
Guan Yubai had just left the day before, and the day after, Mrs. Fu and his party came to Luoyue City in a mighty manner.
Hearing that it was the mansion of Princess Yongyang from the royal capital who was coming from the mansion of Princess Yongyang and that the concubine's elder brother and sister-in-law were among the accompanying people, the city guard was terrified. After seeing the ceremony, the madam and his party personally led them the way.
When the group arrived at Bixiaotang, the gate of Bixiaotang's East Street was already wide open, and the concierge and women knew that the distinguished guests were coming, and greeted the carriages and horses as they entered the mansion.
Fu Yunyan came to Luoyue City last year, even though she was wearing indigo blue men's clothes at the moment, the servants of Bixiao Hall still recognized this as the concubine's sister-in-law at a glance, and beside her was the gentle and handsome man with the same appearance as the concubine The person who is five or six points similar must be the eldest brother of the concubine Shizi.
Many servants secretly admired: I didn't expect that the eldest brother of Shizi Concubine is such a Zhilan Yushu, as if he walked out of a painting.
That's right, that's the direct son of the Nangong family, the eldest brother of the same father and mother.
Nangong Yue had already waited eagerly at the Dongyi Gate, and when she saw a group of carriages and horses coming in, she couldn't wait to take a few steps forward, her eyes were shining brightly, and she shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law!"
Fu Yunyan didn't wait for the horse to stop, she turned over and jumped down neatly, her movements were extremely handsome, and she strode towards Nangong Yue, shouting: "Ah Yue!" While speaking, she grabbed Nangong Yue's hands with both hands, as intimate as a sister .
Mrs. Fu in the carriage at the back picked up the curtain and saw her daughter jumping away, her forehead throbbed, and she muttered in her heart: The water thrown by the married daughter...
Nangong Yue looked at Fu Yunyan who was close at hand, and then at the handsome young man who was walking towards her slowly behind her, her eyes were sore.
Her brother has grown taller again!
Her brother seems to have grown up again!
In her previous life, she could only dream about what her brother would look like when he grew up, but now she can see it with her own eyes!
"younger sister."
Nangong Xin called Nangong Yue as in the past, her voice was warm and clear, like a warm hot spring passing through Nangong Yue's heart.
Nangong Yue showed off her face and smiled brightly at them, without saying anything.
Just looking at her sister's smile, Nangong Xin knew that her sister was doing well.
Mrs. Fu in the back had already got off the carriage, and looked at these three young people who were all dragons and phoenixes with a smile, and couldn't help but become happy.
Nangong Yue hurried over to greet her with blessings: "I've seen Aunt Fu." After a pause, she said with a smile, "Aunt Fu, let's talk inside first, I have already sent someone to the barracks to invite Ah He "As soon as Nangong Yue heard about Mrs. Fu's entry into the city, she immediately ordered someone to go to the camp of Luoyue City to pass on a message to Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe.
As soon as Fu Yunhe was mentioned, Mrs. Fu's face was a little indescribable, and she responded in a strange tone.
Then, under the leadership of Nangong Yue, the group went to the small flower hall to sit for a while, and they couldn't help talking about their parting feelings while walking.
After being separated for such a long time, the three young people have endless words to say, and even the exhaustion of the journey seems to be swept away with that sentence of conversation, and there is no strangeness in each other's words...
Xiaohua Hall, and even the entire Bixiao Hall, were filled with the joy of a distinguished guest.
After getting the news, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe rushed back quickly, with uncontrollable joy on their faces.
Mrs. Fu in the small flower hall saw them from a distance, her eyes fixed on one of the baby-faced youths, her eyes turned red immediately, and a thin layer of tears appeared in front of her eyes.
I haven't seen her for more than a year, and her brother He has grown up a lot. He is as dark as a monkey. Hey, it's time for this naughty monkey to marry a wife and have children. From now on, his wife should worry about him up.
"Mother, Liu Niang..."
Fu Yunhe strode forward, smiled and bowed to Mrs. Fu, and said, "Greetings to mother."
His smile is as bright as before, as if he greeted Mrs. Fu like yesterday, his smile is so contagious that even Mrs. Fu couldn't help but curl up her mouth, but she didn't want him to pass the test so easily , Trying to keep a straight face on the floor.
As the child grows up, he has more ideas.
The more Mrs. Fu thought about it, the more angry she became, and she said angrily: "You child, how can I say hello! Your life-long event is only once in a lifetime, and you don't need to discuss it with me..." She sent a random letter to the capital and said He took a fancy to a girl from a certain family and asked her to propose a marriage. Which rich family would do marriages like this!
Anger is anger, Mrs. Fu still swallowed the rest of the words. That girl is also Nangong Yue's cousin, if she talks too much, it will make Nangong Yue think that she is dissatisfied with this marriage, and it will also hurt the relationship between the two families.
Fu Yunhe has always been shrewd, so he immediately poured a cup of hot tea in front of Mrs. Fu with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and said courteously: "Mother, take a sip of tea and catch your breath. If you want to scold me, why rush for a while, this time is still long!" Said Then, he blinked at Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu drank the hot tea brought by her son, and scolded with a smile: "You have such a sweet mouth, you really are the one who is going to marry a wife." As she spoke, she was still a little brooding about her son's marriage.
Fu Yunhe rolled his eyeballs, and immediately said with a sweet smile: "Mother, after the son marries a daughter-in-law, there will be more people to honor his mother... No, not just one, when he has grandchildren, three or four will be lined up in a row. The team calls you grandmother."
Mrs. Fu was immediately amused by Fu Yunhe's "grandson and granddaughter", and she wished that there would be a few fat babies around her calling her grandmother, but she said stiffly: "It's not that no one has called me grandmother, wait you!"
Fu Yunyan secretly exchanged a look with Nangong Yue, thinking it was extremely funny.
She unceremoniously dismantled Mrs. Fu and said: "Mother, you are the one who said that! I am still waiting for the third brother and the future 'sister-in-law' to give birth to my little nephew and niece earlier." She meant He added the accent on the word "sister-in-law three" profoundly, and gave Fu Yunhe a mocking look.
Every time she thinks that her cousin Xia will become her third sister-in-law, Fu Yunyan still feels like a dream. Hehe, there is a saying that "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", it is rare for her, the third brother, to do something worthy of people's admiration.
Fu Yunhe met his younger sister's teasing eyes without any shyness, without any shyness. It is a matter of course that male colleges should marry and female colleges should marry!
Mrs. Fu glared at Fu Yunyan, thinking that she would not be reconciled if one or two of her children were not mad at her. look at someone else's...
She looked at Nangong Xin and Nangong Yue with satisfaction, seeing how well-behaved and obedient their brothers and sisters were, unlike Brother He and Liu Niang who wanted to piss themselves off all day long.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Fu was really envious of her in-laws Nangong Mu and his wife. She said to Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, I want to pick a day to visit your cousin..."
Although Mrs. Fu came this time to bring a dowry gift to propose marriage, but she has never seen her future daughter-in-law with her own eyes, so Mrs. Fu always feels a little uneasy.
Nangong Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Aunt Fu, what you said is that my cousin should come to see you and give you a greeting."
"How about tomorrow?" Xiao Yi winked.
What will be the mother's expression when she sees that Ah Yue's cousin is actually Xia's cousin? ! Fu Yunyan covered her mouth and snickered silently, laughing so hard that her shoulders shook.
Nangong Xin, who was sitting beside her, patted her on the back lightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, evoking a warm smile.
Mrs. Fu keenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, as if these young people were hiding some secret from her.
As soon as she raised her eyebrows, Fu Yunhe, who is used to observing words and expressions, had already served her tea and snacks graciously, and said good things and jokes from time to time, making Mrs. Fu laugh constantly.
