Chapter 376: Marriage

Because of the unanimous impeachment of the front-line generals and officials in Beijing, three days later, Emperor Jianwen finally gave severe sanctions to Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, who had been in charge of the civil and military power of the imperial court. The two were stripped of their official positions, exiled from Beijing, and confiscated from their families.

At the same time, Emperor Jianfu replaced Qi Tai with Ru Chang and Li Jinglong replaced Huang Zicheng with the Yihe faction, presided over the government, and at the same time sent envoys to discuss reconciliation with Zhu Di, the king of Yan. In the thirty years of Hedong to Hexi, the last time King Yan sued for peace, but Emperor Jianfu did not allow it, but this time it was replaced by Emperor Jianfu to ask King Yan for peace.

To the disappointment of the Shaozhuang faction and the anti-Huang faction, the emperor also left a Fang Xiaoru by his side.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, these three superlatives, any one of them has great energy, enough to make the strong into weak, and the good into bad, there is still a Fang Xiaoru by the emperor's side, so how can it be done? However, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai have already taken all the blame off, and Fang Xiaoru has the emperor's maintenance, so they can't do anything for a while.

On the day Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng left Beijing, Fang Xiaoru, Chen Di and others sent them hand in hand and sent them to the Yangtze River. On the bank of the Yangtze River, Fang Xiaoru quietly stuffed the two secret decrees into their hands and whispered: "Two adults, this is obviously exile, but it is actually a conscription, but the emperor still trusts the two adults." Here in Beijing, I will wait for the opportunity, as long as the imperial court wins a few battles, and when the time is ripe, I will immediately make a proposal to the emperor and announce that you will return to Beijing. Huang Zicheng arched his hand and said: "Everything depends on Mr. Xiaozhi." ”

Qi Tai was still worried about the major affairs of the alliance, and Yin Yin instructed: "Mr. Xiaozhi, don't forget to move in for reinforcements. ”

Fang Xiaoru bowed his head and said: "Shangli can go with confidence, go back from here, and I will go to Zhongshan Palace."

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's ship sailed away, Fang Xiaoru looked forward to it for a long time, then sighed, returned to the sedan chair, and went straight to Zhongshan Wangfu with Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Fang Xiaoru now has four sons, of course, this refers to the son-in-law, Dr. Fang is a very strict person of ancient etiquette, and he is very clear about the children in the family. The status of the concubine of the official gentry family is only half a cut higher than that of the domestic servant, which is just a by-product of the friendship with the concubine, so he never mentions the son born to his concubine.

Among his sons-in-law, the eldest son Fang Zhongyue has already married, the second son Fang Zhongxian is of marriageable age, and the other third son Fang Dezong and the fourth son Fang Lang are still young men. At this time, the four sons were still studying in their hometown and did not go to Beijing with him. Regarding marrying the Zhongshan Palace, Fang Xiaoru didn't feel that he was climbing, and even felt that he was accommodating.

Speaking of which, their family is not only a scholarly family of poetry and rites, but also a family of eunuchs, his great-great-grandfather was a scholar, and he was a parent official in the local area, but the official became smaller and smaller, and when he was his grandfather, he only served as the teacher of Yinxian County of the Mengyuan Imperial Court, and when he arrived at his father Fang Keqin, he didn't even have to do the teaching.

However, at that time, the chaos in the world had appeared, and the rebels from all over the country were repeated, Wu Jiang Tongzhi Jingang Nu was ordered by Dayuan Province to recruit sailors to resist the rebels, Fang Keqin felt that the opportunity to be an official had come after hearing the news, and hurriedly rushed to put down the rebellion for Jingangnu, but this Mengyuan official did not accept it, and blasted him out, as a result, Fang Keqin was dragged into the mountains by the chaotic army, and instead became a member of the righteous army he was going to exterminate.

It's a pity that this team didn't have any climate after all, and in the end it was Zhu Yuanzhang who won the world, Fang Keqin returned to his hometown, studied hard again, and was admitted to the Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongwu, and later became the prefect of Jining. As a result, at this time, the "empty seal case" broke out, and thousands of officials were implicated in the world, and Fang Keqin was also one of them, he was dismissed from office by Zhu Yuanzhang, and died of illness shortly after being demoted to Jiang Yong to serve.

At this time, the Fang family rose again.

In his opinion, the Fang family has been a scholarly family for generations, and now he is like the prime minister of the country, if it were not for the support of the Zhongshan Royal Mansion and the fulfillment of his political ideals, how could the daughter-in-law of the Fang family choose a Confucian family with the right family, and he was not willing to marry the meritorious relatives. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The little county lord has been bored recently, Pingnu has left Jinling and gone to sea to give birth, and she has no excuse to go to Honglu Temple again. Seeing that she was already a fifteen-year-old girl, she had to avoid suspicion, so she had nowhere to go.

The garden of Zhongshan Wangfu is very beautiful, elegant and exquisite, like heaven and earth, but she has lived here since she was a child, and she is tired of seeing it, so she is very bored to stay in the mansion.

That afternoon, she sat on the fence under the garden porch, with her legs on the outside, swinging gently from time to time, and from time to time she grabbed a piece of steamed bun and threw it into the water, and the fat golden carp swarmed in, crowded and fought at her feet.

There was a dripping eaves extending from the promenade, and the sun could not shine on her face, only below her knees, but there was no wind, and the ambiguous weather still made people drowsy.

Xu Ming'er sighed boredly, stepped over the railing, and was about to go back to her room to take a nap, when a few people suddenly walked slowly at the end of the corridor.

"Hehe, little sister, haven't you taken a nap yet?"

Xu Huizu walked over with a smile and said, "Come on, come on, introduce you to my brother, this is Lord Fang Xiaoru Fang, this is Lord Chen Dichen, two adults, this is Huizu's younger sister, Miaojin!" ”

"Few civil officials in my Xu family come, why did my eldest brother invite such two foolish masters home? Fang Xiaoru ......, isn't it the family of the eldest brother who wanted to tell me about his relatives last time? ”

Xu Ming'er glanced at them vigilantly, and said slightly: "Miaojin has seen Master Fang and Master Chen. ”

"Hehe, don't be polite, don't be polite, don't be polite."

Fang Xiaoru and Chen Di smiled and returned the salute, Fang Xiaoru looked Xu Ming'er up and down, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and nodded lightly.

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Lord Fang and Lord Xu came to visit today, because the weather is hot and the garden is refreshing, so for my brother, I will invite the two adults to sit in the garden." Let's come together, as an adult, erudite and talented, but a world-famous Confucian, no need to be restrained etiquette. ”

Xu Ming'er smiled lightly and replied, "The little girl is going back to the room to rest, so I won't disturb the two adults and my brother." ”

Fang Xiaoru smiled when he heard this, originally he was still a little worried that the daughter of this military general's family was arrogant and rude, but now when he saw Xu Ming'er being delicate and picturesque, she was polite and generous, and couldn't help nodding secretly: "Okay!" Good! Born in a famous family but not arrogant, knowledgeable, generous, but there are some beautiful women, well, it is barely worthy of our filial son. ”

Xu Huizu's eldest brother is like a father, and he can't help but be a little bit of an ordinary parent who likes to show off his children's skills in front of others, and he wants to let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and this close minister of the Son of Heaven and the future in-laws know how versatile Lan De's sister is, and when he sees that she is leaving, Xu Huizu is anxious, but he knows that his sister's temper is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is a character who hides needles in the cotton, if this annoys her, don't say anything about the great Confucianism in the world, even if the old master Confucius comes, she will not sell it.

In a hurry, Xu Huizu suddenly thought of an idea, and said with a smile: "That's it, if you want to take a nap, you can go."

However, for my brother, I boasted about Haikou in front of the two adults, saying that my little sister is full of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and knows everything. You want to go and rest, let's write a poem for the two adults first, hehe, the two adults are well-educated people, just give you some pointers, make some heart, Miaojin, don't let your brother be embarrassed. ”

When Xu Huizu said this, Xu Ming'er was a little displeased: "I don't practice poetry, what does it matter to them, do you need them to give advice?" Isn't it, ―......"

Xu Ming'er glanced at her brother's face, and then glanced at Fang Xiaoru and Chen Di, who were standing there as if they were inspecting students, and couldn't help but move in her heart: "Could it be that the eldest brother is he..."

Chen Di saw her looking left and right, thinking that she couldn't make poems for fear of losing face, so he laughed and said: "This poem also pays attention to the situational atmosphere, how can you say and do it, hahaha, does Guogong think that everyone in the world is Cao Zijian?" Don't embarrass the county lord....... ”

Xu Ming'er suddenly smiled: "Do you want to make poetry?" What's so embarrassing about that, the little girl is only shallow in learning, and she can barely do it, in front of the two Hongxue Confucians, if you are ugly, please bear with me. ”

Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, the county lord will do it and listen to it." ”

"Ahem, two adults listened."

Xu Ming'er coughed pretendedly, stood still, faced the fish pond, and said loudly:

From tomorrow, be a happy person,

Embroidery, red painting, cutting and sewing.

From tomorrow I care about cooking and hazy food.

I have a house.

Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming ....... ”

Fang Xiaoru's smile froze on his face.......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xu Ming'er ran away with her eldest brother angrily, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and after returning to the boudoir, she didn't fall asleep, but immediately sent someone to follow the eldest brother and Fang Xiaoru to inquire about the news, and she waited in the room.

As soon as she saw Qiaoyun running back, Xu Ming'er hurriedly caught up with her and asked anxiously, "Qiaoyun, do you understand?" ”

Qiaoyun gasped a few breaths, and said diligently: "Congratulations to the little miss, congratulations to the little miss, the eldest master told the little lady a family matter, and he started... It is the second son of the adult family surnamed Fang. ”

"What?"

Xu Ming'er lost her face when she heard this, she didn't know whether the second son of the Fang family was Fang or Yuan, anyway, the surname Fang was old-fashioned enough, only in his early forties, and he was as old-fashioned as an eighty-year-old man.

Xu Ming'er was wandering around in the embroidery room, turned around for a long time, stopped suddenly, and ordered: "Prepare the car, I want to go out!" ”

Qiaoyun said in surprise: "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Xu Ming'er said: "Go to Honglu Temple!" ”

"Huh?"

Qiaoyun's mouth opened wider: "Miss, you forgot, Miss's godsister, Princess Ping, has returned to China to give birth, and she is not in Honglu Temple." ”

Xu Ming'er Xiao Yao's nose curled, and she said confidently: "My godsister is not here, I'll go to see my godbrother-in-law, can't I?" ”

P begged for a monthly pass, and let Ming'er run away to make up some entanglement, and the little old man was here to make a fuss!
