As soon as Fang Zhichen returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he hurriedly sent people to find Mrs. Pei.
Mrs. Pei came in with a dejected look on her face and said, "My son, I'm afraid your marriage with Miss Yu will fail."
Fang Zhichen was still full of anxiety, but immediately laughed when he heard this, and asked, "But what happened?"
"You two don't match your zodiac signs. It is said that you are forced to get married. In the future, the family will have no peace. If it is serious, it will harm the heirs. Therefore, this marriage cannot be married. The Yu family returned all the Geng posts."
"Mother, why don't you send your son's Geng Tie to be closed again?"
"What's the point? The person who showed you the horoscope is the master of Baiyun Temple who is known as the Living Immortal. What he said is absolutely right." Pei waved his hands again and again.
"My son is asking you to use the Geng Tie to reunite with the daughter of the Yu family." Fang Zhichen's ears were blushing, and he mumbled, "My son just met her by the lake. I really, really like her very much. I beg my mother to help me."
Mrs. Pei felt happy at first, and then hesitated, "Son, it is good that you are willing to marry his prostitute daughter, but she is not good at behavior, who will take care of your back house? Who will give birth to your children? Who will take care of you? Waiting for you? These are all big problems, you can’t just make decisions on the spur of the moment! No matter how good-looking you are, you can’t live with it, can you?”
Fang Zhichen was in a dilemma, but he couldn't forget Yu Xiang's charming face. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Mother, let's welcome my cousin in first. Let her help me take care of the back house and raise children. Miss Yu just needs to be safe." Just be my first wife with peace of mind."
If it weren't for the court's incident of salt tax inspection, Pei would have ordered his son to marry his niece into the family, and would not have tried to trade his marriage. He was overjoyed after hearing this, and clapped his hands again and again, "Very good! Okay, let’s do it like this. I’ll write a letter to my eldest sister and ask her to prepare as soon as possible.”
Because Pei's brother-in-law left early, her sister and a prostitute daughter were left to live a difficult life. The Pei family had a deep relationship with her, so she helped her sister buy a house nearby to take care of her, and her niece was brought up as her own daughter. Although the two sisters did not say anything, they both expressed the intention of getting married. Although she started as a concubine now, Yu Xiang is just a decoration, and she will definitely agree to explain it clearly to her sister.
Fang Zhichen thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "No, let's marry my cousin after Miss Yu passes through the door, lest the Yu family be dissatisfied."
Mrs. Pei was not happy anymore, and said with a sarcasm, "Why is the Yu family dissatisfied? We are willing to have that cripple because of the blessings of his family's cultivation for several generations. You are the Tanhua Lang hand-picked by the holy majesty. The future is boundless, who can't marry a lady? I'm willing to let my great son marry his cripple, and his family should have fun."
Mrs. Pei patted her son on the shoulder and continued, "Son, don't think that his family is the tallest, but based on Yu Xiang's conditions, no one will want her in this life. We hired her just as a stopgap measure. In the future, you Dad got out of the predicament and you have become prosperous again. You must not let a cripple take the position of the head of the house, because your situation is also in the list of love. Mother can still submit letters to the clan elders to fight for Qian'er's peace. The position of wife. Once you have her, she can only be at our mercy."
Fang Zhichen felt that he lacked confidence when he heard this, and waved his hands and said, "No, no, if you let Marquis Yongle find out, you can't call me."
"If he wants to ruin Yu Xiang's reputation, no one will dare to marry him for the rest of his life, and he just calls at the door. Are we still afraid of him? Don't worry, I've found out clearly that he loves Yu Xiang so much that he protects her so much It's like eyeballs. When Yu Xiang is in our hands, it's like pinching his weakness. Even if he wants to exterminate the mice, he has to worry about the jade bottle, right? At that time, will you be released or stationed in Beijing, promoted or leveled? You can go to him to deal with him as much as you can, he has no reason not to agree because of Yu Xiang."
Pei's wishful thinking was crackling.
Fang Zhichen thought about it carefully and thought it was right. If a married daughter splashes water, if she wants her to live well, doesn't she have to treat her son-in-law very well? Although Yu Xiang's family background is prominent, it is not difficult to reconcile, but her situation is very different from others, she is a cripple, and if she really leaves the Fang family, her life is over, and she can only end up lonely forever. With Yu Pinyan's enthusiasm for petting her, no matter what, he was reluctant to part with it.
The more the mother and son thought about it, the more they felt that this was feasible, and when they wanted to go to the old lady to exchange the Geng Tie, they suddenly felt that they were too eager to look good, so they had to endure it for the time being.
On the other side, Yu Siyu also inquired about the fact that her good marriage had failed, she hated the old lady so much in her heart, hid in her room and meditated for a long time, and finally figured out a way.
Yu Xiang didn't know that she was already missed by Pei's mother and son, so after drinking tea, she sent off Princess Jiu and Fan Jiaojiao, and let the girl push her back leisurely.
Seeing that the small courtyard where he lived was within easy reach, a gentle and melodious voice came from behind, "Xiang'er, can I take a step to speak?"
Yu Xiang looked back, frowned and thought for a moment before hesitating, "Chang Yafu?"
I haven't seen her for three years, Chang Yafu looks more and more outstanding, but she is not good enough in front of Yu Xiang, her gorgeous face is immediately set off a bit tacky.
Chang Yafu pulled out a smile, and said again, "Xiang'er, can you take a step to talk?"
Yu Xiang probably guessed what she was going to say, stroked the corner of her lips with her fingertips, and said, "Then let's go."
The three master and servant followed Chang Yafu to the small courtyard where she lived, but they resolutely refused to enter the house for a long conversation. They just stopped under the big locust tree in the courtyard, quietly looking at the smoky mountains in the distance, with an extremely leisurely posture .
Seeing that she didn't intend to speak up, Chang Yafu had no choice but to disperse the servants in the courtyard, and hinted to Yu Xiang's two maids to stand far away.
Peach red and willow green stood still.
Chang Yafu looked at Yu Xiang with pleading eyes. Yu Xiang waved her hands lazily, and the two went down. They walked to the gate of the courtyard and stood like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right, staring at the master without blinking.
"Just say what you have to say, I don't have time to listen to your twists and turns." Yu Xiang raised her jaw.
Chang Yafu originally wanted to exchange some pleasantries before getting to the point. After hearing this, she quickly said, "Xiang'er, I'm going to get rid of my clothes in one month, you know that too, right?"
"I know." Yu Xiang lowered her head to admire her bright red nails.
"Can you help me send this letter to your brother. Those things were all taken care of by my father back then. I am a weak woman, and I can only be at the mercy of others. My respect for your brother Friendship is never half false, so many misunderstandings happened, he has to give me a chance to explain. You see, I am nineteen this year, if he wants to divorce again, I will have no face in this life! You are also a girl , I can always understand my difficulties. My sister was sorry for you back then, and my sister knew she was wrong, so please help me this time.” Speaking of grief, Chang Yafu burst into tears, and presented a delicate The envelope of aroma.
"I'm sorry, I never thought about getting married in my life, so I really can't understand your difficulties." Yu Xiang blinked her cat pupils, her expression was innocent and ignorant, but her mood was already in a bad mood.
Chang Yafu's sad expression was slightly stiff.
The corners of Yu Xiang's lips were raised, and she gave a sarcastic smile, and continued, "Don't play tricks with me, just because you want to marry my brother, and you don't look in the mirror, are you worthy or not? Your father can Forcing you to be commensurate with the third daughter and sister? Can your father force you to be as close as mother and daughter with the third aunt? Can your father force you to exchange tokens of love with Yu Pinhong at the Lantern Festival? You have one foot I have already stepped into the threshold of his house, and I still think that I don’t know anything about Yonglehou’s mansion? I don’t even think about what my grandfather did back then, with so many old ministries under his command, my brother remembers all your scandals. With Yu Pinhong making love to each other, while holding my brother and refusing to let go, you are not afraid of stepping on the air and falling yourself to death!"
Chang Yafu was shocked back to tears.
Yu Xiang brushed her hand holding the letter away, raised her eyebrows and said, "Back then my elder brother was still white, but my third uncle was already an official in the Ministry of Officials, and Yu Pinhong was awarded a Jinshi and was praised by the emperor as a 'young talent'. The government thinks it is understandable that his family can win the title. Don’t talk about love and love with me. I am ashamed of you. In the end, it is just for my own selfish desire. But when my brother was in despair, you would give him a word of encouragement. Good face, I won't be so mean to you today."
She lowered her head and took out an ingot of five taels of silver from her purse, stuffed it back into Chang Yafu's hands, and explained earnestly, "Next year will be the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday, and the Emperor intends to pardon the world in order to pray for the Empress Dowager. The third uncle's family must be If you can come back from the land of exile, you and Yu Pinhong will be able to renew your relationship. I would like to congratulate you first, and I will help you with the Iceman’s money. Don’t be polite to me.” A sweet smile.
What kind of wife would an excellent son like my brother want, but you, who are vain and careless? If you can't treat him wholeheartedly, if you can't trust him wholeheartedly, if you can't give him strength at critical moments, if you can't pour all your love on him, let him be happy for the rest of his life. I'm sorry, please go away!
The girl smiled so beautifully and charmingly, but in Chang Yafu's eyes, she was even more detestable than a ghost. Although he knew that she had a perverse temper and was difficult to deal with, he never expected that she would attack him with such rough and vicious words. But what she said was all the truth, which made Chang Yafu indisputable. She just felt that all her clothes had been stripped off, and her body was exposed in full view of the public. But if you don't look for Yu Xiang, who can make Yu Pinyan listen to his words? There is nothing she can do!
Chang Yafu held the five taels of silver in a daze, her fingertips trembling violently. She thought that Yu Pinyan didn't know what she was doing, but it turned out that he knew everything, but took herself as a joke.
It's a joke, just a joke, it's fine for a lifetime, she must not let the Yu family withdraw their marriage, otherwise the reputation of the Jingguo Mansion will be ruined, and she will have no face to see anyone again. Moreover, Yu Pinyan is now in the high position of the commander of the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerful. After retiring this marriage, where can she find a better husband than Yu Pinyan? Rather than being the joke of the entire Han Dynasty, she would rather be the joke of the Yongle Hou Mansion, and wait for her to gain a firm foothold in the future before she can settle today's humiliation.
Yu Xiang saw strong unwillingness in her eyes, but she didn't take it seriously, and waved to call Tao Hong Liu Lu over, but unexpectedly, many insects fell from the tree, drenching her head and face, and a voice of resentment came from her. Came from above, "How dare you humiliate my sister like this, and let you taste my strength!"
