Of the three people in the main hall, none of them spoke. It was so quiet that only the sound of dripping from the funnel could be heard.
When Brother Xuan came in, he was faced with such a weird scene. Entered the room and gave a gift to Cao Fengyu and Mrs. Cao.
When Cao Fengyu looked at Yu Da, his expression was no longer as rigid as before. Even if Yu Da is innocent, he can only marry Yiqiu for the sake of his own reputation and his career: "Young Master Yu, although it is wrong, but after all, you have ruined Yiqiu's innocence. Now, it's only you. Only by getting married with Yiqiu as soon as possible can Yiqiu's reputation be preserved."
When Ah Si heard this on the roof, she sneered. In order to preserve the reputation of himself and the Cao family, Cao Fengyu threw his young master out of the tank.
Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "Master Cao, Xiaosheng can't marry Girl Cao."
Cao Fengyu thought that Yu Da would be happy when he heard the news, so he was stunned when he heard Xuange's refusal. When he came back to his senses, Cao Fengyu was furious: "What did you say? You say it again?"
Brother Xuan was not frightened, and said sincerely: "My marriage is up to my parents. Miss Cao, it's not up to my mother's request."
Aunt Yun was anxious, and said loudly: "My family has both good looks and good looks, why doesn't it match you?"
Mrs. Cao couldn't help asking: "Could you tell me the criteria for your mother to choose a daughter-in-law?"
"Dignified and virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, and able to manage house directors. By the way, the temperament is also generous." These are indeed the criteria for Yuxi to choose a daughter-in-law. Of course, the most important thing is that Brother Xuan himself has never thought of marrying Cao Yiqiu as his wife.
Mrs. Cao was stunned. This requirement is really not low.
Cao Fengyu laughed so angry: "You think you are the prince and grandson of the Emperor of Heaven." The prince and grandson married a wife, which is the standard.
When Ah Si, who was watching all this on the roof, heard this, he secretly said in his heart, you are really right. Isn't the prince standing in front of you
After saying this, Cao Fengyu is no longer willing to talk nonsense with Brother Xuan: "You must be responsible for ruining Yiqiu's innocence."
Brother Xuan said: "Miss Cao's innocence is destroyed by my hands, and I will be responsible. But I can't marry her as a wife, I can only take her as a concubine."
Aunt Yun was so angry that she spit out another mouthful of blood. If it weren't for the pain that she couldn't get up, she would have to scratch Brother Lan Xuan's face. The son of a small official, with such a big face, said he wanted to take her daughter as a concubine.
Cao Fengyu repeated what he said just now: "If you ruin Yiqiu's innocence, you must be responsible to her."
Brother Xuan shook his head and said once again that he could not marry Cao Yiqiu.
Madam Cao was a little suspicious, and asked tentatively: "Young Master Yu, our Cao family is also an official family. How can the girl in the family be a concubine? If you don't marry her, we can only let her wring her hair and become a sister-in-law. In the second half of my life, I can only accompany the ancient Buddha with a blue lantern."
Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't marry her."
"If you don't want to marry, you have to marry." He couldn't shame this face. Since Yu Da didn't want to, he would be forced to marry it, but Yu Congpei could not help but Yu Congpei could not help Yu Da.
"Master Cao, even if I agree to marry, it's useless. My parents can't agree. When I return to the capital, Miss Cao is just a concubine." Even if he pays his respects, it is useless for his parents to refuse to admit it. .
Cao Fengyu flashed a sharp light, and said: "It's wasted that you are a scholar, you are so shameless. I ruined my daughter's innocence and wanted to take a concubine if she didn't marry her. But what is our Cao family?"
Ge'er Xuan flushed red, and became a little angry: "I don't care about her giving or accepting her as a concubine, and I have done my best, what else do you want?"
You know, Xuan Ge'er has a habit of cleanliness. Except for his parents and brothers and sisters, he won't touch anything that others have used. I have suffered too much this year, and the material conditions are not the same as before, and many times I will just endure it. But how can the marriage be successful, no matter how he can marry a woman who has had an affair with others as his wife.
Cao Fengyu's expression changed: "What did you say?"
"You'll know about this when you ask Miss Cao." At this time, Brother Xuan thought that Cao Fengyu and others didn't know that Cao Yiqiu had an affair with Yu Congpei.
Cao Fengyu didn't want to talk nonsense with Brother Xuan, just said: "Come here, send Young Master Yu back."
Aunt Yun was also sent away afterwards.
Madam Cao knew Cao Fengyu best, and said, "Do you want to force Yu Da to marry Sanya?"
"At this point, he must marry Yiqiu." Without this fig leaf, he would be impeached by Yu Shi for the crime of impeaching a goddess for laxity, and the black hat might not be guaranteed.
"Master, one day as a teacher and a lifelong father. He and Yiqiu's marriage, as long as Mr. Pang agrees, it will count. If not, as he said, Yiqiu can't be included in the score of the Yu family. Can be regarded as a concubine." I don't know if she has been thinking about it, Madam Cao always feels that things are not right.
"I don't know the trace of Mr. Pang." After speaking, Cao Fengyu said: "But I believe that Mr. Pang will agree to marry Yiqiu if he knows this. We have a letter from him to Yiqiu in our hands. "These are all evidence.
Seeing that Mrs. Cao would say more, Cao Fengyu said impatiently: "You don't care about this, I will take care of it."
Back at the main courtyard, Mrs. Cao said to her confidant, Mrs. Xu, "I don't know if I have been thinking about it. I always feel that Yu Da has a weirdness." As for what's wrong, she couldn't tell.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Madam, this Yu Da is petty and unreasonable. It's still whimsical."
"Whimsical? What do you say?"
"He said that the wife he will marry in the future must not only be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, but also have to be grasped by the housekeeper inside and outside." After saying that, Mrs. Xu felt funny: "Such a woman is more than enough to be a prince and concubine, how could she marry? He is a poor scholar with no fame."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao smiled. It seems that the conditions just mentioned are not his mother's standards, but his own standards.
Cao Yiqiu almost fainted when he heard that Yu Da did not want to marry her, but only wanted to accept her as a concubine.
Aunt Yun clutched her chest and said: "Go and beg him, if he doesn't agree, you will be killed in front of him." Of course, it was not a real collision, but a pretense.
"Okay." She and Yu Congpei had a husband and wife, naturally knowing that nothing happened to her and Yu Da. She didn't even have any impression of what happened in the middle, which made her feel a little uneasy. However, she didn't dare to tell Aunt Yun about this weird situation.
Cao Yiqiu stood in front of Brother Xuan with tears in his eyes, and said, "Young Master Yu, I know you are also innocent in this matter. But I am also innocent. I have lost my innocence now. If you don't marry me, I Dad is going to send me to the nunnery. From then on, the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern will be with me for a lifetime."
Brother Xuan said: "I told Lingtang, I would like to take you as a concubine."
Cao Yiqiu crushed a silver tooth: "Our Cao family is also a scholar, and the girl in the family would rather die than be a concubine."
No matter how Cao Yiqiu begged, Brother Xuan could only say a word. It is impossible to marry a wife as a concubine.
Seeing Ge Xuan's expression that made you be a concubine is a favor to you, Cao Yiqiu wanted to choke him on the spot. The family is ordinary, without fame and poor, how could she choose him if she wanted to be a concubine!
This matter quickly spread to Mrs. Cao's ears: "Things that can't be put on the table." Catch up is not a business. The more you put yourself down, the less others will take you seriously. But speaking of it, Yu Da is quite unlucky, and he wants to marry a deceased willow.
Brother Xuan really didn't take Cao Yiqiu seriously, thinking it would pass soon. Unexpectedly, he was placed under house arrest by Cao Fengyu in the yard and was not allowed to go out. In addition, three meals a day were changed to two meals, and each meal only had a bowl of gruel. You can't eat enough and you can't die from starvation.
When I ate the porridge for the first time, Brother Xuan said with a sense of dignity: "I want to use this method to force me to submit and dream."
After eating porridge for a whole day until the night was so hungry that he was heart-stirring, Brother Xuan said, "It's really hateful."
Three days later, Brother Xuan was too hungry to walk.
At this time, Cao Fengyu came over: "Will you marry or not?" If you don't marry him, he will continue to starve Brother Xuan. Anyway, there will be two porridge meals a day, and he won't die.
"I said, I can only accept her as a concubine and cannot marry her as a wife. Even if I promised, my parents would not approve it." Why did he say so many times that this person couldn't listen.
This is not a problem for Cao Fengyu: "As long as you hand over the Geng Tie and sign the marriage letter, your parents won't be able to recognize it." Even if the lawsuit is brought to the imperial court, he is justified.
Brother Xuan still didn't agree.
On the fifth day, Brother Xuan was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Asan said, "Master, it's better to agree first. Anyway, even if you have a marriage certificate with her, you won't be able to count the marriage."
Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't know, my father is a man who keeps his promises and respects the righteousness. If he knew that I was married with the third girl of the Cao family, he would definitely recognize this marriage." His wife must belong to his purity both physically and mentally. A woman with no time, Cao Yiqiu will definitely fail.
Ah San came up with a bad idea: "Master, if this is the case, let's leave here secretly! If they can't find this person, this will naturally not happen."
Brother Xuan still disagrees: "Cao Fengyu will definitely find a teacher if I can't find me. This will damage the teacher's reputation. And once I left, it would be irresponsible."
A San glanced at Brother Xuan and nodded.
Seeing that Brother Xuan was so tough, Cao Fengyu was very annoyed, and got A San out, leaving only Brother Xuan in the yard. It was also because of Pang Jinglun that Cao Fengyu dared not use torture, but only dared to use this kind of soft knife.
Ah Si asked curiously: "How long do you think the third prince can last?" He estimated that it was three days at most.
Ah San did not comment on this, but shook his head gently and said, "The three princes are kind-hearted and have good character, but they are a little confused about the female sex. If this shortcoming can be corrected, then the emperor and the queen will no longer have to do anything. He is worried."
Ah Si also agreed with these words: "I hope he can accept the lesson this time, and don't be confused by beautiful women in the future."
Asan smiled and said, "Now I am better than before." Before seeing beautiful women crying, I felt relieved.
