Gong Xiangxiao was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said, "No."
They didn't come to meet the palace concubines at night and plot important events, and they didn't come to drink tea and have snacks. How could they bring water? !
"I don't ask for interruption!" Qi Jiulu was waiting to say anything else, but Yun Fenghuang said impatiently, "Go east!"
"... The Chao family is in contact with the Imperial Capital." Seeing her urging, Qi Jiulu sighed secretly and said, "The ruthless elders are worried that once the person they rely on succeeds, the Chao family will have the final say in the north. . Therefore, he proposed to come to the Imperial Capital, and the elders agreed after some discussion. "
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "How can those old guys shut up so easily? Are they afraid that if I leave, they will start cultivating my brother?"
Qi Jiulu said calmly: "Before he left, my father had already taken Jiuzhang with him."
Qi Jiuzhang is Qi Jiulu's concubine, the one with better health.
In doing so, Qi clearly planned that if Qi Jiulu succeeds, then the Qi family will naturally be proud of their success in a few months, and Qi Jiuzhang will obediently serve as his brother's arm; but if Qi Jiulu makes the wrong choice, Qi will immediately abandon him and change his position. And fully support Qi Jiuzhang in shouldering the burden of the family.
These are the legs commonly used by rich people. They never make all-or-nothing moves. Qi Jiulu was not surprised, and Yun Fenghuang was not surprised.
Although the two of them could not help but feel their teeth grow cold at this moment, they were not surprised, but Gong Xiangxiao, because the clan was thin in terms of young people, and he had lived under the wing of the regent for many years, even though he had been confinement for several years after his step-concubine entered the house. It's not a good time. The prince, who is always so noble, sounds a bit unfair and pitiful.
Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu ignored him at that time, and just talked about Xie Fenghuan: "When my sister first married Wang Shizi, it was considered a harmonious relationship. Later, Wang Shizi was infatuated with a businessman for some reason. He was a daughter, so he and his sister had a grudge. Over the years, they actually respected each other as much as ice... He remembered that his mother often took her home at that time, and the reason was that the elder in the family was not very good, and the elder was not very good, and begged her to come back. I’m here to visit and take care of you, but do you really want to give your sister a break?”
The Wang family is not considered a big family in the north. The first one is a small one, and has produced some talents but not very outstanding ones. The second one is said to have the blood of the Hu people and is a naturalized person from the previous dynasty. Descendants of intermarriage between Hu people and frontier Han people. Although the Wang family has never been willing to admit this, insisting that at most they deny that there are people who coveted Hu Ji's beauty and took several concubines, but in the Northland where the idea of differentiation between non-other races is strong, they are still a little out of place.
Jiang was very opposed to the marriage between Xie Fenghuan and Wang Shizi. She felt that Wang Shizi was not worthy of Xie Fenghuan. Even if Xie Fenghuan was born as a concubine, her daughter who was raised by her legitimate mother should have a legitimate second son, not to mention marrying the eldest son of the wrong family like Qi Jiulu.
However, Wang's son was handsome and deceitful, and Xie Fenghuan was young at the time, and she was obsessed with him, and for a time she was begging for death and survival.
Could it be that Yun Fenghuang had been replaced, and Jiang was absolutely right not to fall for that trick? She also had the confidence to break up for them.
Unfortunately, Xie Fenghuan was not her biological child after all. The biological mother, Mrs. Qin, felt sorry for her daughter and knelt down in front of Mr. Jiang to plead. Ms. Jiang was angry, hateful and sad, so she gave up in anger... Later, Xie Fenghuan's reputation was ruined, which was a drag on her natal family, and Ms. Jiang was like a dream. When he first woke up, he thoroughly inspected the Qin family's yard, beat to death and disabled most of the maids and women, and all the remaining ones from the East were given dumb drugs and sold out.
Even so, there is nothing that can be done about it...
The saddest thing for Bu Nao was not Mrs. Qin herself. She gave Fengnuan a biological daughter. She had no way to raise her personally since she was a child. Finally, when the child grew up, she wanted to get married to the person she liked. Mrs. Qin felt that she had nothing to do for her daughter in her life. Whatever you do is a big deal in your life. Even though you know it will make your mistress unhappy, you still want to help.
It turns out that this effort can push his own flesh and blood into the pit of fire...
Mrs. Qin fell seriously ill after Xie Fenghuan's death, and her appearance and appearance were drastically reduced. Even Xie Jian, who had doted on her for most of her life, didn't want to see her again. Half a year ago, Yun Fenghuang heard Jiang Shi mention it casually in a letter. , saying that she wanted to become a monk, but was persuaded by Jiang to come east. Ru Mingbu Nao was raised alone in the yard without leaving home, and she didn't know how many years she would live.
Yun Fenghuang calmed down and put away his memories, and said, "He has never believed that the daughter raised by his mother would be so stupid that Hongxing cheated and was caught by her husband's family...most importantly, why did Wang agree with her? Is he, Mr. Xie, angry?"
Originally, the marriage between two families was for the good of the two families. Even if one of the children had an affair, it would not cause a quarrel unless it was absolutely necessary. Especially if the Wang family's reputation is not as good as that of the Xie family, even if they find out that Xie Fenghuan Hongxing is having an affair, why would they make such a big deal about it
Not only would this offend Ms. Xie to death, everyone knew that Mr. Wang was a cuckold, so would it be shameful to go out
The normal approach is to hand over the private matter to Mr. Xie after obtaining the evidence and let Mr. Xie clean up the house by herself. In this way, Mr. Xie knows that he is in the wrong, and he will never be wrong about the adulterer and adulterer. Moreover, he will also owe Mr. Dongwang a deep favor... This is the tacit understanding between the rich families.
And what did Wang do at that time
The adulterer and adulterer were tied up and paraded through the streets before being sent to the Xie family. During that process, they wanted to beat gongs and drums to invite the whole city to watch.
At that time, Mrs. Xie was unprepared and was caught off guard by the news. She was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to think deeply about her mistakes. But as the most intense and tragic period passed, Mr. Xie was not stupid.
For example, the Jiang family dealt with the people in the Qin family's courtyard, and Ru Yun Fenghuang was not surprised when Qi Jiulu told him about the affair between the Chao family and Xie Fenghuan... They had never doubted it.
"He is not sure whether there is any involvement between the Wang family and the Chao family." Qi Jiulu said slowly, "But the man who had an affair with his sister was seen to have dealings with a distant descendant of the Chao family... The Wang family was at that time He said that my sister met that person again and again when she went out to relax, and gradually became involved. From this point of view, it is obvious that they planned to murder my sister early on. "
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, then sneered: "Sister doesn't have that weight, and Mr. Wang is even more qualified. In the final analysis, is this matter for the two of us, or rather, is it for our two families? of!"
Qi Jiulu's face was expressionless: "No, I should say, I'm going for the entire Northland!"
When Ru Ming looked back at the scandal that swept the entire Northland, it became clear: Did the dispute between the country, the dynasty, and the temple begin when Emperor Shenzong was the emperor? Later, when Shenzong ascended the throne, with his legs, wrists and courage, it was The court has been cleaned up for several years. However, after Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, he fell out with the Ji family, and the government and opposition parties were in the east, and the state of the mountains was suddenly divided again.
During that process, the great clans of the North always adhered to the principle of slow water and long-term flow, and refused to easily divert water from the east.
When the Qi family got married to the Xie family, in addition to the fact that the head of the Qi family publicly announced that "the Xie family's legitimate daughter is smart, capable, smart, virtuous, and his son is a natural match for a talented man and a talented woman," there was also a hidden consideration, otherwise it would not happen. Qi Jiulu and Yun Fenghuang, whose sons were still young, didn't realize it, or they couldn't have imagined it at the time, so they would join forces to resist the temptation from the temple.
The Qi family is the leading wealthy family in the north. Although its power has declined in recent years due to the few heirs, its prestige is still there.
