Chapter Seventy-Seven: Destruction
Li Yi is very famous in the capital, but this reputation has helped him this time. The old lady sent Mother Sun to find a way to inquire about Li Yi, and the result was soon available, but she didn't expect this result to make her so disappointed. Listening to Mother Sun's narration, the old lady's face became more and more heavy, and when she heard that Li Yi had a great relationship with a famous prostitute in the capital, the old lady slapped the table angrily:
"How can this be reasonable, how can such prodigal sons be worthy of marrying Yu'er! They are really too deceitful. Mother Sun was taken aback by the old lady's anger, but she still said:
"Old lady, don't get excited, what's in this hurry, and how to make decisions for the second miss. This sentence calmed down the old lady.
"I'm afraid this family affair was said by the second daughter-in-law, it's really vicious. The old lady said slowly.
"The old slave didn't dare to say anything, but the second wife was close to the Guogong Mansion? ”
"Could it be that her own girl didn't sell it and sprinkled her anger on Yu'er?" Mother Sun listened, and it was not easy to speak, after all, it was the master's business, how could she be a subordinate.
"Yu'er must not marry this kind of family, the affairs of the Yang family must be settled as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”
Then I heard a maid outside:
"Second master, please. The old lady immediately stopped talking and exchanged glances with Mother Sun.
Zhang Hou came in and saluted the old woman, sat aside, and motioned to the maids, and the mother-in-law stepped down. After Mother Sun took them to retreat, she said:
"Mother, my son has been busy with official business recently, and he has not asked his mother to say goodbye very often, I don't know if my mother is in good health?"
"Okay, you're busy with official business, so you have to pay attention to your body. ”
"Yes, thank you mother for your concern. ”
"I'm afraid you're here today for Saitama's sake. The old lady glanced at Zhang Hou and said.
"Yes, the son wants to discuss it with his mother. ”
"Then what do you husband and wife mean?" said the old lady, looking into Zhang Hou's eyes
"Both of these families have good furniture, and it's hard to part with. When his son was in Shandong, he met the son of the Yang family, who was knowledgeable and had a good personality, and he admired him at that time and felt that his future was limitless. This time, he was hit by Tanhua and also visited Fuzhong. Speaking of this, Zhang Hou paused slightly, and the old lady did not answer, but continued to wait for him to continue.
Of course, Zhang Hou also investigated Li Yi, and in terms of character, knowledge, and future, Li Yi was much inferior. The only one who wins is the illustrious family lineage, and indirectly. In such a comparison, Zhang Hou couldn't say the reason why Saitama married into the Guogong Mansion.
"What about the children of the Li family?" The old lady had already had a premonition of Zhang Hou's decision, and she wanted to see what reason Zhang Hou could convince herself.
"The Duke of Qi has made outstanding achievements and won the trust of the emperor, if he can marry the Duke of Guofu, it will be beneficial to us and no harm. ”
"I'm asking about the kid, not his family background, not the benefits he can bring. ”
"According to his son's knowledge, this second son of Li is good friends with King Fu, and he is also a scholar, although he has no fame, but relying on the Guogong Mansion, it is not difficult to get an official and a half-position. ”
"What about character?" Zhang Hou sweated slightly, character is his biggest headache, Li Yi is a household name in the capital that has long been passed on, he doesn't believe that the old lady hasn't checked, this kind of thing must not be hidden, so he can only tell the truth.
"Character, young people are inevitable, and nothing else. ”
"I have something to do with ** famous prostitutes, how can I say it's nothing?" The old lady couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly broke out, Zhang Hou saw that his mother was angry and quickly stood up.
"Mother, the current situation in the house, you also know that the eldest brother had to stand on King Shou's side for Qi Ying's affairs, and in order to stabilize the prince, we decided to send Qi Jiao to the East Palace. From an outsider's point of view, our Zhang family is swaying from side to side, and no matter where we win, we are all in danger. And the Guogong Mansion holds the military power, and it has won the trust of today, and being able to marry the Guogong Mansion is a heavy insurance for our Zhang family. Zhang Hou paused for a moment, and then continued:
"The son knows that his mother loves Saitama, and I'm afraid he has wronged her. But marrying into the Guogong Mansion is naturally rich and rich, and she is a dignified wife, and it cannot be said that she has bent her. Compared to Qi Jiao's entry into the East Palace, she is a concubine, and she is a concubine, and the danger is unknown? Qi Jiao can sacrifice for the family, why can't Qi Yu?"
"Could it be that the daughters of my Zhang family are all used by you to cling to the powerful?" the old lady was also a little angry.
"Mother, under the nest, Ann has finished her eggs? Only by preserving the Zhang family can we protect them, and the Zhang family is their dependence. No matter where they marry, if the Zhang family falls, how can they have a good life? And the mother also has to think about Brother Ji, Brother Xiao, and Brother An, they are all children and grandchildren of the Zhang family!"
After listening to Zhang Hou's words, the old lady closed her eyes, she knew that Zhang Hou's words made sense, but how could she watch her granddaughter marry such a prodigal son like a flower, and live a life of tears all day long. For the first time, she felt powerless, even when she was alone with her two young sons fighting against the Zhang family. She didn't know how to face Saitama, and the wonderful future she had promised her was shattered like a bubble.
Zhang Hou saw the old lady's appearance and knelt down.
"Mother, please forgive your son for the offense, and the son has no choice but to do it. ”
"Go down, I want to be quiet. The old lady said weakly.
"Yes, the son will not bother, and the mother will relax and rest. ”
Yang Xi seems to be living like a year these days, waiting for news from the Zhang family. Although he saw that every day was no different from the past, that heart seemed to be tumbling in boiling oil, which made him almost unbearable. There has been no news from the Zhang family, and he has no way of knowing what the attitude of the Guogong Mansion is. On the other hand, if he resisted and did not retreat, he did not dare to think about whether it would bring disaster to the family. Although he likes Saitama, he doesn't want or dare to face such an ending.
King Fu invited him several times, but he shirked it, he really didn't know how to face Li Yi. He had to admit that it was a perfect man, he admired that man, and was happy to be his friend, but now, he was not sure.
However, such a tangled day did not last too long, because on this day, Yang Xi received a holy decree. Years later, he still remembered every word of the decree as they pierced his broken heart like a sword.
Fengtian carried it, and the emperor said: "I heard that Yang Xi, the son of the political envoy of Shandong, is a young talent, gentle and kind, and the princess of Chaoyang can be called made in heaven." Therefore, Yang Xi was named a concubine, and he married Princess Chaoyang on a certain day. Give the princess the first seat and a number of fertile fields. Chin this. ”
