If you want to talk about the Xiao family, you have to start with the first emperor Yuan Wen.

Emperor Yuan Wen was a merry emperor, and during his reign, he had many concubines.

Xiao Changning is one of these many concubines, and he is also the most unusual one.

Xiao Changning has outstanding appearance, and he was named a nobleman when he entered the palace, and he sat all the way to the position of a noble concubine.

Later, Xiao Changning gave birth to the eleventh prince Qin Yuncheng for Emperor Yuan Wen, and Emperor Yuan Wen was overjoyed. Feng Xiao Changning's mother ordered the three products, and personally ordered the Xiao family to move to Kyoto and give a big mansion.

For a while, the officials in the court began to panic, and they all thought that the eleventh prince would sit on the throne of the crown prince.

But in reality, this is not the case......

Emperor Yuan Wen's chess game was too profound, so that many people were lost in the chess game.

After the death of Emperor Yuanwen, the seven princes were ordered to ascend the throne, changed to Yuanchang, and called Emperor Jianguang.

After Emperor Jianguang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kill Qin Yuncheng, and as soon as this incident came out, the Xiao family was immediately injured.

Later, the Xiao family slowly divided into three families, ostensibly separated, but in fact it was because of interests and other relationships.

The Kyoto Xiao family is a descendant and is called Dongxiao.

The Xiao family in Huai'an City is a branch and is called Beixiao.

The Xiao family in Dongyang County is now the abandoned son of the Xiao family, called Nanxiao.

The reason why Nan Xiao was quickly abandoned was because the people on Nan Xiao's side had a close relationship with the former Eleventh Prince.

The fifth young master Xiao Kangwen mentioned by Zhao Nanke to Xia Ruan today is the fifth young master of Xiao in the north of Huai'an City.

For Xia Ruan now, the people on Bei Xiao's side are very difficult to deal with.

Now everyone knows that Emperor Jianguang loves the noble concubine Zeng Molou, and the eldest prince is also loved by the house because of his mother Zeng Molou. often accompanied Emperor Jianguang.

In the early stage, Bei Xiao was the eldest prince in the court, and he was in the limelight. In the later period, the eldest prince was even more arrogant, thinking that the emperor belonged to him. During this period, there were countless souls who died in the hands of Bei Xiao. And the two most powerful in Beixiao, one is Xiao Kangwen, the fifth young master, and the other is Xiao Kangzhi, the ninth young master.

Xia Ruan frowned even more when she thought of this, if Xiao Kangwen really married her second cousin, it would be difficult for her to do things in the future.

It's just that Xia Ruan doesn't understand at all, how could Bei Xiao fall in love with her second cousin now that she has a big family? Even the second young master of the Wen family can't look down on people, but this ruthless character Xiao Kangwen is moved? There's something just wrong with that.

Could it be for ...... She wasn't sure.

Xiao Kangwen's sister is Xiao Xuelan, the seventh lady.

She learned from the mouth of her second cousin. This Bei Xiao wanted to marry this Xiao Xuelan to Wen Zhonghuai, the second young master of the Wen family, but this family affair was politely rejected by Mrs. Xun. Xia Ruan felt that this Bei Xiao would want to have a relationship with Wen Jiapan, and it was estimated that she also took a fancy to Wen Zhonghuai's ability, but the only thing she couldn't figure out was that Xiao Xuelan shouldn't marry another person?

"Third Miss, don't you know who Xiao Kangwen is?" Zhao Nanke saw Xia Ruan's expression and thought that Xia Ruan didn't know who this person was, so he patiently explained, "I guess the third lady has also heard of it." The Xiao family is actually divided into three branches. It's just that this Xiao Kangwen is the fifth young master of Beixiao, and such a high-ranking person would marry his cousin, which really surprised me. Isn't Miss Three surprised after hearing this? My cousin isn't very good-looking. Even the Wen family ...... Why would Xiao Kang marry my cousin? ”

It stands to reason that today's Wen family is not as good as Beixiao, and it makes sense for Zhao Nanke to be suspicious.

Xia Ruan raised his head and thought about it before taking a deep breath. smiled: "Because of the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Nanke's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Xia Ruan in disbelief.

She was actually thinking the same as he was.

Zhao Nanke is not calm and introverted now. From his expression, Xia Ruan could guess. He thought of it with her.

Although Bei Xiao has power, he really doesn't have much money in his hands, and this big prince is a big man-

The Zhao family has become more and more mixed in the hands of the old man Zhao over the years, and even the Kyoto Nanjia has sent people to send things to the Zhao family. This is also the reason why the Zhao family has become more and more unscrupulous over the years, and his hands are stained with blood, but he is still unhindered.

Because of the current Zhao family, she has this qualification to make her so presumptuous.

Xia Ruan actually knows that the Zhao family will be even more beautiful in a few years.

How did Bei Xiao change?

She had to be frightened in her heart, the second cousin and the eldest sister were all married to the Du family, but the Du family was just a chess piece in Xiao Kangwen's hands. Now, the second cousin will actually marry Xiao Kangwen.

It was the same in the past, Bei Xiao also beat the Zhao family's idea, what happened here, Xia Ruan never paid attention to the Zhao family's affairs, so naturally it is unknown.

It's just that when Zhao Nanke inherited the Zhao family, Bei Xiao was already about to fall, and Dong Xiao, the descendant of Dong Xiao at that time, chose to stand by and watch. Because the one who fell together with Bei Xiao was the eldest prince who has always been in the limelight.

Could it be ......

Xia Ruan glanced at Zhao Nanke, and didn't dare to continue to guess.

"It seems that the third lady also knows the truth, you are right, Xiao Kangwen will marry his cousin because of the Zhao family." Zhao Nanke couldn't help but show a wry smile, he didn't know who to say these words to, because no one could have thought of this, including his grandfather, "Today's Zhao family is not the Zhao family of the past, Huaiyin, Huai'an, Xianyang and other people from the Zhao family, I said this, does the third miss understand?" ”

Xia Ruan looked at Zhao Nanke's eyes with a little vigilance, what would this person tell her this?

Her intuition told her that Zhao Nanke definitely didn't trust her, but had other purposes.

Even if she lived a new life, she didn't understand what happened to the Zhao family and the Xiao family. She had always thought that the fall of the eldest prince was due to the fact that the eldest prince had a stupid concubine, but now it seems that this is not the case? If it is said that Xiao Jiu later hated and poisoned the Xiao family, she would be clear in her life, but Zhao Nanke ...... She couldn't figure it out at all.

Zhao Nanke sighed, still maintaining his demeanor, and continued in a sincere tone: "The reason why Xiao Kangwen noticed Qinghe was because of the second uncle. It's just that the third lady probably didn't expect that my second uncle was actually not in Danyang. He is actually already in Huai'an now. This family affair is actually a transaction between the second uncle and the Xiao family...... In fact, once upon a time, I thought about why my second uncle would marry my second aunt. Now it seems to be similar to the Xiao family. ”

Over the years, he didn't want to know this. It must also be clear.

In the past, the second aunt married the second aunt, which was to covet the second aunt's dowry. It's a pity that my grandfather saw the intention of the second uncle at that time, and the dowry prepared for the second aunt was less than half. It's just that my grandfather didn't expect that even if the second aunt's dowry was reduced by half, he still saw the second aunt's eyes red.

The Xia family is just a small businessman's household, and if the second uncle wants to do business, then he needs a large amount of silver.

all these years. The second uncle had already cheated Xia Fucheng's family property cleanly, and what he didn't succeed in was the dowry in the hands of the Li family. The second uncle was very red-eyed, but it was not easy to get these things from the Li family.

Li's life experience, Zhao Nanke has always been very unintelligible.

Li's behavior doesn't look like he came out of a small family. Especially when he once went to see the Li family, when he saw the Li family wearing a purple velvet gown, he was even more shocked and couldn't take his eyes off. Maybe it was because I noticed the look on his face at the time. Lee smiled and gave him some pastries, and never wore luxury clothes since.

Zhao Nanke became more and more suspicious of Li's identity, but he was too young at that time to have the manpower and material resources to check this.

When he has the ability to check. Li's identity still didn't let him find out the slightest clue...... It's just that Zhao Nanke understands a little bit in his heart, the Li family is definitely not such an ordinary person, and his second uncle doesn't understand. But he knew it.

The death of Xia Fumin, the third master of the Xia family, is actually not that simple.

Because of the most Hou Xia's family property. Almost all of them went into the hands of his second uncle.

The second uncle did this, and his methods were very clever. A little bit of water is not leaky, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to find the slightest mistake.

However, for Zhao Nanke, each of these is a deep warning. If he didn't know how to protect himself now, then the Zhao family would be destroyed in his hands.

Although the second aunt raised him over the years, in order to have half of the Zhao family's property in his hands, it is more that the second aunt wants him to marry Xia Qingya, so that there is a reason for the second aunt to ask him for silver in the future. Zhao Nanke never thought that his wife would be Xia Qingya, first of all, not to mention Xia Qingya's appearance, but Xia Qingya's temper and style, which Zhao Nanke could not accept, not to mention Xia Qingya's stupid head.

He needs a wife, definitely not a person who likes to meddle and cause him trouble. He needed a wife who could fight alongside him and understand what was going on in his heart.

It's just that Zhao Nanke knows that this is a little difficult......

"Zhao Gongzi, you tell me this, in fact, I also ......" Xia Ruan wanted to open her mouth to refuse Zhao Nanke, she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhao family at all, and if she wanted to oppose Bei Xiao now, it would not benefit her at all. The eldest prince's current power is too strong, she is just a small people's girl, where can she compete with the royal people, so she must refuse, "I can't do anything about it, it's just that Zhao Gongzi, you take care." ”

When Zhao Nanke heard this, he didn't get angry, but just raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Ruan.

He smiled, his mood was much lighter, Xia Ruan said this, he didn't seem to be worried at all.

Because Xia Ruan will refuse, it proves that Xia Ruan knows the stakes here, instead of looking at the wealth of the Zhao family on the surface, but forgetting the truth that the people are not in harmony with the officials, he really did not find the wrong person this time.

"Xiao Kangwen's sister Xiao Xuelan wants to marry the young master of the Xianyang Yue family." Zhao Nanke said unhurriedly, "That is, Yue Chengan." ”

This time, Zhao Nanke's words made Xia Ruan almost speechless.

Sure enough, it has changed......

Sure enough, it is different from her previous life, and even Xiao Xuelan is married......

It's just that what will be the Yue family this time?

Or Yue Cheng'an? (To be continued......) (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
