Chapter 343: Awakening

After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Fang finally squeezed out her voice: "I see, so ......" She was extremely annoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but shout again: "I see!" ”

Fang Shaoqing didn't understand, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What happened to the prince of Guangping? The trouble caused by Hui'er last time, didn't the prince of Guangping bump into it? For this matter, I also went to the Guangping Palace to apologize. ”

Mrs. Fang saw that her husband hadn't figured it out, and was about to tell him, but thinking that her little daughter was still there, it seemed that this kind of thing should not be said in front of her, so she hesitated again.

Fang Renzhu didn't care: "Mother doesn't have to worry about not knowing how to speak, this is not something unsightly." Sister Zhao went to see the prince of Guangping, and Mrs. Zhao was still there. The two of them have been friends for many years and are very close. Listening to Sister Zhao's tone, it seems that it is still a good family. When Princess Guangping was seriously ill, she visited the house many times and helped with the funeral. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled dryly: "That's just as well. "Actually, Mrs. Fang doesn't believe that this place is really innocent, but even if the prince of Guangping and the daughter of the Zhao family really have any personal relationship, what can they do? The two are also compatible, the Zhao family still has the merit of supporting it, and it is the Houmen Mansion, the Queen Mother and the emperor believe in his family, and marriage is just a matter of words. However, the daughter of the Zhao family is still young now, so there is no need to mention it so early. On one side is the son of the prince, and on the other side is the sister of the Hou Ye, if the Fang family is still the old man, it doesn't matter if she casually says a few words of gossip, but now? She was full of food and held on to provoke two big enemies!

The thing that Mrs. Fang regrets the most now is that she listened to the speculation of her eldest daughter Fang Huizhu. regarded Zhao Xiu as a powerful opponent for the youngest daughter to become the eldest princess of the emperor. How could she have forgotten? Today's queen mother does not have only one grandson, in addition to the second son of the queen, there is also a prince of Guangping! The prince of Guangping was older. Marriage is bound to be earlier. If the queen mother wants to be a granddaughter-in-law, she must first give her eldest grandson. Zhao Xiu's age is several years younger than that of Guangping Wang Shizi, but the difference is not so big, it may not be a match. If the Queen Mother really took a fancy to Zhao Xiu as the princess of Guangping Wang, then the Fang family's calculations about her in the past would be foolish.

The eldest son of the emperor is still young, and he has to wait for several years to get married. Under normal circumstances, you should choose two or three suitable candidates from all the ladies, and then slowly observe them for a year or two. Which table xiàn is the best, choose whichever one. The prince of Guangping was four or five years older than the emperor's eldest son, and he would definitely marry a wife first. Then his wife is the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother likes it. Maybe you can still speak in front of the Queen Mother. His youngest daughter is good friends with Zhao Xiu. I will definitely be able to get a help when the time comes. How stupid is it that such a good helper is not well encircled, and he has to offend people?!

Thinking of the day when the eldest daughter Fang Huizhu calculated Zhao Xiu, the prince of Guangping was also present, and saw the matter from the beginning to the end, and his heart was like a mirror, how would he think of the Fang family? The daughter of the Fang family actually wanted to calculate the person he fancied. Tell the person he likes to other men, the prince of Guangping, Danfan, is a little temperamental. I can't bear this breath!

Mrs. Fang's tears came down, and she finally found the biggest reason why her little daughter fell out of favor with the Queen Mother! It's not that the Shang family is slandering, and it's not that other people competing for the position of the emperor's eldest concubine are secretly speaking ill of the Fang family, but that her eldest daughter has offended the eldest grandson of the Queen Mother by pretending to be smart!

Mrs. Fang's crying, Fang Shaoqing and Fang Renzhu were stunned, comforting and comforting. However, after they listened to Mrs. Fang's speculation, they were all stunned.

Fang Renzhu was the first to react: "Big sister didn't expect such a thing in advance, besides, even if she expected it, what if she expected it?" She shouldn't have calculated anyone else. Even if you do bad things, you can only bear the consequences. Mother, there is no news from the palace, you are just guessing, so don't mention it again, so as not to let people know and damage Sister Zhao's reputation. ”

Mrs. Fang choked up and nodded: "Naturally, I won't sue anyone to go." Gritting his teeth, "Even your sister doesn't have to say it!" When your father's affair is over, I will immediately set up a marriage for her. Doesn't she think Meishan Bofu is good? Originally, I thought that the second son of that family had ordinary qualifications, and he didn't know poetry and books, so I was afraid that I wouldn't get along with your sister. But now that I think about it, Qiu Er's company doesn't have a bad reputation, and it's not a fool, it's more than enough to match your big sister. I won't stop your eldest sister's road to wealth and nobility, whether she will live well or badly in the future depends on her life! ”

Fang Shaoqing nodded, he had long been disappointed with his eldest daughter. However, now he is quite entangled in his heart: "Since the girl of the Zhao family has no intention of the position of the eldest princess of the emperor, and you say that she has the prince of Guangping behind her, and the words you say are all kind-hearted warnings from the prince, so ...... Do we really want to listen to her? ”

Mrs. Fang didn't understand: "What did the master say?" Since it was the nobleman's kind advice, he naturally had to obey it. The prince of Guangping has a very good face in front of the palace, and he often goes in and out of the palace, and he is well-informed. He doesn't prevaricate us with nonsense. Since we are told to be careful, there must be a reason. Could it be that the old man still wants to anger the emperor? ! ”

"Look at what you said." Fang Shaoqing was a little wolf: "How could I think so?" It's just that...... It's just that Miss Zhao called us...... Don't always think about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, what are you saying about her...... What is the meaning? ”

Mrs. Fang was stunned and glanced at Fang Renzhu.

Fang Renzhu's face was slightly red, and he took a deep breath: "Father, mother, reasoning, a daughter shouldn't say these words, but it is related to the future of the whole family, and the daughter is the one who speaks directly to Sister Zhao, so she calmly tells her father and mother what she thinks?" ”

Fang Shaoqing and Mrs. Fang glanced at each other, and the latter gently took her daughter's hand and sat down: "Good boy, what do you think?" Just say it. ”

Fang Renzhu lowered her head and said softly: "My daughter knows that my father and mother have expectations for my sister and me, and I also hope that our sisters can win glory for the family. It's just that...... Marriage must always be consensual. Our family is bent on climbing the nobles, but what will the nobles think when they look at us? She paused and looked at Fang Shaoqing: "The palace had promised the third sister to the Marquis of Shanyin earlier, and at that time, my father had already planned to send my sister into the palace. also mentioned that if the sister fails to enter the palace, she will promote the marriage of her daughter and the eldest son of the emperor. If the third sister was still here, would my father still have such expectations for our sisters? ”

Fang Shaoqing's whole body was shocked. The whole person was stunned. Mrs. Fang's face gradually turned pale. She began to realize that she was really dizzy earlier, how could she not even think about such a thing? Their Fang family is bent on marrying their daughter into the royal family, but is the royal family willing? If they are not happy, then the more they rush over, the more disgusted they will be in the palace?!

Fang Shaoqing even remembered what he had done in the past few years. When King Guangping was still the crown prince, there was only one concubine. There is only one son-in-law, and the rumors about the prince's fear of guilt and the princess's jealousy have not stopped. In addition, Zhu Lifei was favored at that time, and she had a son. It was when he wanted to hit the prince's reputation that all kinds of rumors did not stop. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince was really good, and the crown princess Zhong had always been very virtuous and generous, the rumors would inevitably be even more arrogant. He was in a daze. I want my eldest daughter Huizhu to be the prince Liangdi. not only set off public opinion in the foreign courts, persuaded the prince to accept the side, but also asked someone to recommend the eldest daughter in front of the Empress Dowager Jiang, who was still a concubine at the time. Concubine Jiang Shu saw Fang Huizhu and liked it, but she thought she was still young, so there was no follow-up. Fang Shaoqing did not give up, and asked the Zhong family again, and the Zhong family spoke in front of the crown princess Zhong. so as to avoid the reputation of a scumbag. The crown princess also saw Fang Huizhu once, and she was also full of praise. Again, there is no following. Immediately afterwards, the crown prince was injured in the expedition and abdicated blindly. Fang Shaoqing wanted to be the head of the country, but he didn't plan to marry his daughter to a wasted person with no future, so he still did a side room, so he first reported his daughter's illness, and found various reasons, for fear that the Guangping Palace would require him to fulfill the marriage contract. But in fact, no one mentioned this matter at all, and he was completely nervous in vain.

When he became the prince today, he was moved again and wanted his daughter to try the position of prince Liangdi again. As soon as she handed a message to the palace, before Concubine Jiang Shu could respond, the crown princess Xie asked as if unintentionally in front of the foreign wife: "Did you say that you wanted to enter the East Palace from the Fang family before?" "It's just revealing the scars of the Fang family! Fang Shaoqing retreated again. Zhu Lifei and King Ying have been in turmoil, and he has been sitting on the wall and watching, until he ascended the throne today, and then he mustered up the courage to promote the eldest daughter to enter the palace again. This time, she will be the princess directly, as long as things can be done, what is it to lose some face?

Later, Miss Fang San was assigned to marry, and Fang Shaoqing's expectations were disappointed; Fang San girl died of illness, and he had hope again, but was explicitly rejected by the emperor; He also raised the idea of the emperor's eldest son and other deeds, not to mention. Fang Shaoqing now thinks about it, and he is in a cold sweat. For the first time, he thought: how did the nobles in the palace view their father and daughter? Do you think that their Fang family is shameless, and they are bent on sending their daughter to the palace, it doesn't matter who they marry, it doesn't matter who they marry, it doesn't matter if they marry the side room, as long as they can marry someone who can sit on the dragon chair? Especially Empress Xie, will she think that the Fang family's idea of beating the emperor first and then the prince is really shameless?

One daughter and two Xu are shameful enough, and now they still ignore their seniority, even the eldest son of the emperor who has just passed his tenth birthday. Even if the palace doesn't say anything, outsiders will criticize it. The Fang family was so eager to be a relative, it was really a shame to be a scholarly family! Fang Shaoqing remembered those friends who were like-minded with him in the past, often talked about poetry and essays together, and discussed the government and politics, but in the past two years, it seemed that they had become less and less in contact with him, and there was nothing to say when they met, so he began to panic in his heart. Is he ...... Have you lost the good name left by your deceased father?

Fang Shaoqing sat down on the chair, drenched in cold sweat and pale. Mrs. Fang also trembled slightly. The husband and wife looked at each other, and they were both unspeakably remorseful. But no matter how much you regret and hate, there is no regret medicine in the world! The only way to do this is to do everything we can to turn the tide.

Fang Shaoqing asked her little daughter in a hoarse voice: "Good Ren'er, do you tell your father what Miss Zhao said to you again?" Don't miss a word! ”

Fang Renzhu calmly repeated Zhao Xiu's words once, without missing a word, and even the tone pause made by Zhao Xiu when he was speaking because of thinking, hesitation and other reasons imitated it as it was.

After hearing this, Fang Shaoqing sighed: "Okay, my father knows what to do." Miss Zhao really helped our family a lot this time. You must remember her help today, and respect this friend for the rest of your life. Your mother, and your brother, and I, will remember this kindness. ”

Fang Renzhu got up and bowed solemnly, in response to his father's request. Fang Shaoqing ordered her daughter to retreat.

He turned his head to look at his wife and smiled wryly: "Let's set up a few children earlier, right?" Don't you already have an idea about the candidate for Jinqi's daughter-in-law? Hui'er's marriage with the second son of Meishan Bofu was also decided early, so as not to change over time. And Ren'er, let's find a good family for her earlier. The nobles in the palace, we don't have to count on it anymore. ”

Mrs. Fang's eyes turned red, and tears fell again. She nodded tearfully: "The master is right, since you don't plan to marry a nobleman, it's better to find a reliable family for your child earlier." Renzhu'er is indifferent by nature, and she likes to read poetry and books, so why don't you find her a scholarly family? The second son or son is very good. Don't pay attention to chores, and when you split up in the future, as long as you don't lack money in your hands, you can live comfortably, which is exactly what Renzhu'er is like. ”

Fang Shaoqing nodded, and suddenly had an idea: "What do you think...... How is Shang Joan? ”

Mrs. Fang was stunned. (To be continued......)
