Chapter 17 Xiao Li's origin
In Ling Zhen's room, Cui's took a basin of footwater, but saw that Ling Zhen's eyebrows were locked with sorrow, and he had no joy, so he asked with a smile: "What's the matter, master?
Ling Zhen sighed: "It's this marriage, and there are still some obstacles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cui Shi was surprised: "What's the matter? Could it be that Miss Gao has some hidden illness, or does the Gao family regret marriage?"
Ling Zhen said: "I have asked about the Miss Gao family, and I heard that she is very beautiful, and her temperament is also skillful, especially she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a good match for Kang'er." It's just that today I went to the dowry with Kang'er, but Mr. Gao told me that Miss Gao had promised to marry someone else when she was a child. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cui's eyebrows immediately rose up, and he said angrily: "A woman is hired twice, this Gao family is so shameless! What do you think of our Ling family!" Ling Zhen waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, listen to me." What kind of character is that Gao Lao? The family style is strict, how could he do such an ugly thing? You have also heard of the family that married the Gao family, it is Xiao Yuannian, the general of Zhenyuan!"
Cui Shi was shocked: "Then Xiao Yuannian, I still heard you say, didn't you fornicate with the northern barbarian country, was condemned by the saint, and beheaded all over the house?" Ling Zhen nodded: "Elder Gao was an official in Tianjing before, and he and Xiao Yuannian's father were originally opposite-sex brothers, so he married his granddaughter to Xiao Yuannian's son Xiao Yu. It's just that soon Xiao Yuannian was accused of fornicating with the barbarian country by his generals, and the holy dragon was furious, and Zhu Biyu was executed. This incident caused a great fuss in the government and the opposition back then, after all, it was a general who held military power, and he died tragically under the knife of the ghost head without knowing it. ”
Cui Shi said: "I remember the year Xiao Yuannian was executed, you were drunk once and scolded the government for being mediocre, so that Xiao Yuannian's death has another hidden meaning?" Ling Zhen nodded: "That Xiao Yuannian has guarded the northern Xinjiang for 20 years, so that the northern barbarian country cannot ride a step through Youzhou, and the merits and demerits are clear at a glance." Moreover, there were many doubts about the denunciation of the general, and then there was even more rumors, "lowered his voice slightly," saying that he had offended King Jing, who deliberately made false accusations in order to eradicate dissidents. ”
Cui said: "Isn't that a big unjust case?" Ling Zhen said: "The person is dead, even if it is an unjust case, what can it be? Not to mention that it is the emperor himself who has written the imperial approval, and if he wants to admit his mistake, it will be difficult to climb to the sky! I want to say Xiao Yu, the son of Xiao Yuannian." ”
Cui Shiqi said: "Since Xiao Yuannian is full of beheading, that kid has naturally become a dead soul under the knife, what do you say he does?" Ling Zhen said: "Loyal servants and righteous men replaced the heirs of the benefactor with their own blood and bones, and rescued them, there have always been many such episodes, how do you know that Xiao Yu is not a great disaster and will not die, and he can escape with his life?"
Cui Shi said with a smile: "The master came to me again, how cautious it is to come to the Criminal Department to use the punishment, and there is the emperor's approval, you have to verify the identity before you can be escorted to the execution ground." Although Xiao Yuannian must have some loyal servants of the dead, if he can rescue Xiao Yu from the knife of the Criminal Department, I'm afraid it's impossible, right?"
Ling Zhen said: "What you said is not unreasonable, after Xiao Yuannian's death, Elder Gao was disheartened, so he returned to his hometown. Originally, I thought that the blood of the old man would be cut off, but some time ago, someone suddenly claimed to be Xiao Yu and entered the house. ”
Cui Shi sighed: "So, that Xiao Yu is really not dead?" Ling Zhen said: "Elder Gao was also suspicious, so he summoned that person to see him." It's just a few years later, Xiao Yu was just a boy with hanging hair, but now he is a weathered young man, his appearance has changed greatly, but the subtleties are a little similar to those back then. ”
"Elder Gao immediately interrogated him about the Xiao Mansion back then, and that person could answer it fluently. In this way, seven or eight points could be true. When asked about how he escaped arrest from the imperial court, he only said that he was taken out of the encirclement by a few henchmen, and found a child with the same figure as him, and scratched his face as if he had been beheaded. Elder Gao asked him again what he meant here, and he only said that he wanted to meet his wife, who had been married back then. ”
Cui Shi interjected: "Then what happened? Did Elder Gao let him see him?" Ling Zhen shook his head: "Elder Gao saw that he was speechless, his words flickered, especially his reckless aura, and he thought that he was carrying a lot of lives on his back, so he immediately refused. ”
"Then Xiao Yu didn't force it, so he said goodbye, and sneered at the end: "People say that the old man is upright, but who knows that he is also a snob. Seeing that my Xiao family was in trouble, he wanted to push back the marriage contract of the year. I don't bother to marry your Gao family, but I can't swallow this breath, the murderer who framed my father back then has been corrected by me, if your young lady doesn't want to marry me, then she will either become a monk and practice, or die old, if I know that I promise to marry others, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife, even your two families will be killed!"
Cui Shi exclaimed: "Then Xiao Yu is not arrogant! Could it be that he really dares to kill and retaliate!" Ling Zhen said: "Elder Gao is Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy. If he asks for good words, it is fine, and if he speaks evil words, he immediately reprimands. Xiao Yu didn't refute, sneered, and left. ”
"Boss Gao also thought he was alarmist, but who knew that the news came from the capital the next day, and the whole family of Xiao Yuannian, regardless of the old, young, chickens and dogs, was killed, and the murderer's methods were cruel and bloody, so he knew that what Xiao Yu said was true. But in this way, in addition to being frightened, he can't marry his granddaughter to that Xiao Yu. ”
Cui Shi exclaimed: "Since this matter is true, then Kang'er and the Gao family are married, then Xiao Yu is not going to be unfavorable to Kang'er? No, tomorrow you will go to the Gao family to withdraw from this family business, my Kang'er must not have anything to do!"
Ling Zhen frowned, and shouted: "Women's family, ignorant opinion! Let's not say that I have already accepted this family business, and I will go back on my word, how can you let my Ling family gain a foothold in the future! Moreover, the Gao family's style is strict, and the entry of Miss Gao can ensure the prosperity of my Ling family's descendants." No matter how domineering Xiao Yu is, you must know that he can't be allowed to come nonsense in this Jinling City!"
Cui Shi choked up and said: "Master, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, if that Xiao Yu thief's heart is not dead, we can still take precautions day and night?" Maybe one day, my Kang'er will ......" Ling Zhen said angrily: "Shut up! I have made up my mind, there is absolutely no room for change in Kang'er's affairs! You don't have to cry and cry again, and if you dare to say a word from your mother, be careful of my family's rule of law!"
Cui Shi said angrily: "You know that this family business is worried about your life, and you dare to agree, if my Kang'er has three long and two short, I will fight with you......!
Cui Shi covered her cheeks with her hands and looked at her husband blankly. Ling Zhen was furious, and shouted: "You are so vicious! How can you come up with such an idea! The elders and young are ...... in an orderly manner" Cui Shi screamed and threw himself on him and shouted: "I am evil, what if my Kang'er is dead! How can you let me live! Ling Chong has also learned kung fu for a few days, and when he meets Xiao Yuhao, he also has some self-protection power, and I have treated him well all these years, and I should repay him a few points. My Kang'er has been weak since she was a child, so Xiao Yu is afraid that she can be pinched to death with just one moment! You say, you personally pushed Kang'er to a situation where you can't recover, who is the villain!"
