Chapter 199, Father and Son
Xiang Shijie was a little excited when he heard his mother say this, and stood up quickly, "Mother, now, in this house, my son is still the master." β
He didn't care about his mother's worries in his heart, since the mother and son returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he can now walk sideways in this Prime Minister's Mansion, this family matter, presumably they don't dare to disagree when they see that they are the only heirs.
But from the moment the mother personally knew that she was going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she obstructed him and Ran'er's family affairs, which made him very dissatisfied.
Yang looked at his confident son, only to feel bitter in his mouth, this son, although excellent, but too young, did not really see the darkness of human nature, did not understand how this decayed family is a place to eat people, they will not stop if they do not squeeze the last bit of value on him.
Thinking like this, I secretly hated myself for being blind, and I agreed to take my son back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, knowing that this was a place to eat people, but if I didn't come back, my son would have no better future. Besides, she also had a trace of luck in her heart at the beginning, thinking that now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is her son's, why don't they come back, and the lord will be good to herself in the future, but after coming back, although it is like this on the surface, she knows that the two of them are actually pinching in the palm of the master's hand.
"Jie'er......" Yang sighed, "This matter, if you don't ask for your father's consent, it is useless for you to agree on a marriage date with the Li family. β
Xiang Shijie listened to this and immediately looked at it. "Mother, I'll go and discuss this matter with my father now." After saying that, he strode outside.
Looking at the back of his son leaving, Yang shook his head helplessly and discussed with his father?
That person would not agree, his family affairs, she had tried to talk about the old man, but there was no doubt that when it came to this kind of matter related to the future of the prime minister's house, the old man immediately showed his ugly face, and said disdainfully at that time: "A country village girl." It is also worthy of my prime minister's house. This kind of identity is not worthy of being a concubine. β
She never said this to her son, she kept thinking about persuading her son to give up his plan to marry Li Xiaoran.
It's just that she didn't expect it. He couldn't wait to send a letter to Li Xuesi. And the Li family also agreed. Now, it's a dilemma.
Alas, she sat there thinking about it. After thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible for the old man and the old lady to agree to this matter, and there was no hope for Jie'er's family affair, and I hoped that my son would not be too sad and sad at that time.
The maid came in with tea, put it on the table, glanced out, and whispered: "Madam, I heard that the old lady is showing the uncle in Zhang Luo." β
Yang's face changed slightly, his son was his, and the old lady didn't even sue her, so she showed Jie'er to others. She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know which one?" β
"I heard that there are young ladies from the Yang family, the Zhang family, the Wang family and the Zhao family." The maid hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My brother heard outside that the master intends to let the young master marry a girl from the Sun family. β
"The Sun family?" Yang frowned and thought for a while and asked, "That Anning Hou Sun's family?" β
"Yes, the girl in their family is beautiful when I hear it, but she has a domineering temperament. My brother asked me to sue Mrs. SΓΉ, Mrs. must not agree to this family business, the Sun family and the Yongwang Mansion of Beidi have married, I heard that the holy will is not as good as before, if the lord really marries the Sun family, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will be implicated in the future. β
Yang waved his hand, his face was solemn, she didn't care about this, her lord has always been treacherous, if Sun Fu really loses his holy will, it will be too late for him to hide, and it is impossible for his son to marry his daughter.
He must have a good intention in doing this, at least it is good for the Prime Minister.
She was a backhouse woman, and she couldn't think of the key, so she had to put down her mind and ask people to inquire about what her son and the master were talking about in the study......
Yang's heart hung so high that he hurriedly sent someone out to look for it, but the people searched for it all night and couldn't find it, and Yang was anxious. She didn't know that Xiang Shijie ran out in a fit of rage, and happened to meet Li Xiaoran and Mo Xi who were wandering on the street.
"Ran, Ran'er?" Xiang Shijie, who lowered his head and hummed, bumped into someone, looked up and was about to speak, but was stunned, pointed at the other party and said in surprise: "Ran'er, is it really you?" When did you come to Shengjing? What about learning and thinking? Didn't your aunt come with you? β
He asked several questions in a row, and the depression of the big quarrel with his father just now was also left behind by him, and he said excitedly: "Ran'er, I, I miss you so much...... You ......" His eyes were staring straight at her, and nothing else could be seen in his eyes.
Li Xiaoran and Mo Xi were looking at the various objects placed by those small vendors on the street, and before they could speak, they didn't reach this familiar voice, and secretly said in their hearts, what a coincidence, they ran into him on the first day they entered Beijing.
She looked at Xiang Shijie and saw him staring at her with a surprised face, his eyes didn't blink, and a smile appeared on her face, "Brother Xiang, what a coincidence, we just met you when we entered the city today." β
Xiang Shijie had a smile on his face when he heard this, and his heart was full of joy, and he felt that he and Ran Er were simply too fateful. Looked at by his burning eyes, Li Xiaoran had no choice but to speak, but heard an unhappy voice: "You girl's family, you are not ashamed to be like this with a man on the street." β
Hearing this voice, her face darkened, this Wu Chen is really haunted, along the way, she can meet him almost everywhere. "You want to care?" She replied without thinking.
At the beginning, this Wu Chen still looked like a scholar, but after a long period of contact, his true form was revealed, and he didn't speak and act at all at all, and everyone could see that he was simply coming for Li Xiaoran. In this way, Li Xuesi was wary of him and refused to let her get close to his sister, but this Wu Chen was just a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it, and he could run into him wherever he went. However, although he is sticky, he is not obscene, he speaks wittily, and he is firm, although there are many entourages of the Li family along the way, but many things, Wu Chen's master and servant have been covered, saving them a lot of things.
Li Xiaoran was familiar with him. I don't hate him, but this person is sometimes too self-conscious, and when she speaks, she seems to be very close to the family, so she is not used to it, so she will stab him when she speaks.
When Xiang Shijie heard this voice, he was shocked to realize that he was rude, and he hurriedly looked up and saw a handsome young man, looking at Li Xiaoran unhappily. There is still a lesson in the mouth. "Aren't you hiding from me very hard, how can you see such a handsome young man and forget what you said?"
Li Xiaoran rolled his eyes, this behavior. On the street. It's really indecent. But Xiang Shijie and Wu Chen thought it was very playful and cute.
"Don't be so rude to a girl." Wu Chen's words of right and wrong.
Xiang Shijie smiled innocently, "Ran'er." It's been a long time since I've seen you like this......" he said, his tone very nostalgic.
Wu Chen's face darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Xiang Shijie and said angrily: "This son, I see that you are also a scholar, and you are not afraid of ruining the girl's reputation if you talk to the girl's family like this?" β
Xiang Shijie was stunned, and suddenly thought of his father's words before, "...... You gave me the heart to die, that village girl, it is absolutely impossible for you to be your wife, such an identity is not worthy of entering the gate of our Prime Minister's Mansion. β
These words made Xiang Shijie's heart suddenly cool, he looked at his father with infinite care for him for more than a year, and defended: "Father, my mother and I almost died at the beginning, but it was the Li family who reached out to save us, helped us settle down there, and also helped us introduce work, so that we survived, and I had more money to study...... This family matter, we and the Li family have already decided, and now we can't say it, isn't this ungrateful, doesn't this let people poke the backbone of our prime minister's house? β
He swallowed the impatience and anger in his heart, and tried his best to get his father to agree.
Master Xiang was unmoved, and said lightly: "It's just that I helped you at that time, and I just gave you more silver." The most popular thing for those vulgar villagers is silver. β
"Father-" Xiang Shijie was anxious, "The Li family is not short of silver, if they value this, they will not save me and my mother in the first place." β
Master Xiang sank his face, "At the beginning, you were just a poor man who fled and had nothing, and now you are the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you marry a rural village girl, don't mention it, it's impossible." β
Xiang Shijie was angry and angry, and shouted unabashedly: "At the beginning, what you said when you begged us to come back, have you forgotten everything? I don't care, I only marry the sister of the Li family, I won't marry anyone else, you can accept it if you like it, anyway, you have so many concubines! β
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped in the face, and the old man looked depressed, "Presumptuous, is this what you said to your elders?" I see that all these years of your books have been read in vain. β
Xiang Shijie lowered his head, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but he only lowered for a moment, then raised his head and said stubbornly: "Anyway, I want to marry Sister Li......"
Old Master Xiang looked at his son's stubborn appearance, and was afraid that he would be forced to run away from home again, so he couldn't help but ease his tone and said: "Jie'er, this family will be up to you in the future, it is very important to be the housewife, in the future, you will often enter the palace, that village girl, no matter what, you can't be the main room." In this way, if you really like it, take it and be a concubine, give her more money in the house, be kind to this girl, and complete your heart to repay your kindness. β
He consciously made a big concession, and with his protΓ©gΓ© of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even as a concubine, he promoted her. But obviously, Xiang Shijie didn't appreciate it, "No, I'm going to marry the sister of the Li family, she is such a good person, she can't be a concubine." β
He didn't have to think about it to refuse, Ran Er is such a proud person, let alone being a concubine, even if he has a concubine, he can't tolerate it.
"Needless to say, this matter is not negotiable." The old man had a straight face, glared at him without anger: "Your grandmother is showing you people, and after you get married, you will bring people in." β
The father and son finally quarreled, but no one was convinced, and Xiang Shijie ran out in a rage.
Thinking of this, he felt bitter in his heart, but he knew that the man in front of him who looked very unpleasant was right.
"Ran'er, where are Xuejian and my aunt, I miss them very much, so I have to go and see them." He automatically ignored Wu Chen, and felt very uncomfortable with Wu Chen's tone of talking to Ran'er like that.
Li Xiaoran looked at the two of them, a little funny, glanced at Wu Chen, who was listening to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, and said, "My mother and second brother didn't come, only me and my little brother came this time." β
Xiang Shijie was very worried when he heard this, "Why are you two going out of the door so far away, what if you run into a bad person?" β
Li Xiaoran pursed his lips, "It's okay, we have guards, and besides, it's quite peaceful along the way." "Those small bandits along the way will naturally not be the opponents of the Xin family brothers and sisters.
As they spoke, they came to the inn, Li Xuesi had not come back yet, the two of them sat and talked, and they came up with tea with great discernment, Wu Chen sat on the side, regardless of Li Xiaoran ignoring him, took a cup of tea and took a sip, looking Xiang Shijie up and down.
Isn't it just a young boy in his teens, where can he have a jade tree in the wind and a graceful demeanor...... He thought narcissistically, seeing the little girl's enthusiasm for him really made him sour.
PS: I haven't changed it for a few days, Xilin is embarrassed to say anything, let's change it quietly! (To be continued......)
