Chapter 262, Man is a sword

Mingjing walked outside the old lady's room, paused for a moment, tried to calm down, walked in as calmly as possible, and bowed respectfully as before, as if the old lady was still sitting in the magnificent hall of the Heju Hall in Xie Mansion. Although it is not as good as in the past, in this inconspicuous house, the Xie family still practices etiquette.

The old lady's expression relaxed, her anger faded a little, and she motioned for Mingjing to get up and sit down, and the girl sent by Xie Mingzhu covered the door and went out with a very good look.

Mingjing thought she was going to lose her temper and was thinking about how to deal with it, but the old lady said calmly: "Mingjing, your weak crown has passed, and you should have started a family a long time ago, but you have been shirking it until now, and now our Xie family is like this, not to mention everyone's ladies, even ordinary scholars refuse to marry their daughters again." Although our Xie family is defeated, we can't always marry men and women, we have already made people see all the jokes, and we can't make people laugh anymore, if you don't get married, what face do I have under Jiuquan to see your father? ”

Hearing her mention the marriage again, Mingjing became vigilant, but when she thought about it, she just took the opportunity to bring up the relationship with Changsheng, didn't the old lady trust Changsheng quite a bit now? What's more, she said that the Xie family had been defeated, and even the daughters of ordinary families refused to remarry, so wouldn't there be hope for his relationship with Changsheng? The old lady is always the head of the family and the only elder, if he wants the media to marry Changsheng, there must be an old lady who asks the matchmaker to talk about it and write a marriage book, otherwise Changsheng will be an inferior concubine for the rest of his life.

Mingjing's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but look at the old lady's eyes eagerly, and was about to say his wish, but the old lady waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt, and then continued: "I went to your father's grave that day to worship, and at night he gave me a dream, saying that I am not a virtuous ****, I don't respect his will to betray King Qin, let the Xie family be copied, let your eldest brother be imprisoned, and let you have no wife so far, I deeply regret it, so I am sick this time." When I think about it, I am indeed sorry for him, for not following his arrangement, and for not taking care of this family. The Xie family was raided, I don't have the ability to make the emperor change his mind, I can't save your eldest brother when he goes to prison, and your father blames me under Jiuquan, and I can't either. All I can do at the moment is to arrange your marriage first, and then I can explain to your father. ”

Mingjing saw that her circle was getting bigger and bigger, and she kept saying that it was her deceased father's wish, and her heart suddenly became vigilant, what did she want to say? Just listen to her patiently, anyway, the Xie family is not what it used to be, and she is not as suppressed by her as she was in the past, and look at what she says, if she says it well, she will naturally obey, if she says it badly, let her lose that old face in vain.

The old lady's face was filled with joy, and she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Mingjing, do you know? Just now, your brother-in-law sent someone to send a letter, saying that the emperor sent him yesterday, and said that he remembered the relationship with your father, and officially pardoned the Xie family. If I had put it aside, I would have been very disappointed when I heard it, after all, the wealth I had never had a chance again, but after so many days of torture, I already wanted to open it, as long as the family could be safe. I have ordered to go down and prepare food and drinks tonight, one to celebrate the safety of the Xie family, and the other to express my gratitude to the emperor."

A big stone fell to the ground in Mingjing's heart, and said happily: "That's great, we don't have to worry about the emperor's kindness anymore, we should celebrate it" Xuan remembered that Mingche was still in prison, and the joy on his face quickly disappeared, but he also knew that he couldn't ask too much at once, it was not easy to pardon the people of the Xie family, and letting go of Mingche was only a later word, and when the time passed, the anger in the emperor's heart gradually subsided.

The old lady changed her words, stared at Mingjing with a loving face, and said, "You know what? When I heard this news, I was most happy to dare to talk about your relatives, lest I always feel sorry for your father."

The more she was like this, the more suspicious Mingjing became, and he was basically sure that what she wanted to say was not a good thing, otherwise there would be no need to pretend to be kind in a roundabout way.

"In fact, just after the New Year, someone came to propose to you, I was afraid that the Xie family was undecided at that time, and I was afraid that I would delay other women's women, so I shirked it, who knew that the matchmaker came to the door again yesterday, and you just happened to go out and was not there. You also know that our Xie family is currently high or low, but this time it is a good stubble, and it was also your fate to meet it. ”

Mingjing's heart sank, she really didn't say Changsheng, but another woman, hated that she knew her affection for Changsheng, and she also knew Changsheng's dedication to the Xie family, but she still obstructed it in every way, so she continued to listen to her while thinking about how to deal with it.

The old lady saw that he was not like in the past, and when she mentioned family affairs, she spoke out against it, and she was overjoyed, so she simply said: "There is a Fengqi town sixty miles west of Wugong County, there is a family surnamed Fu, there are restaurants and rice shops in the town, and the countryside has also purchased a hundred good fields, but the real big family, although it is not an official family, but the group of slaves and maids who wear gold and silver is no worse than the official family. The only regret is that the Fu family has no children and nephews, only one daughter, whose name is Yuhua, in addition to being black and fat and low, I heard that she was born quite well, and she also knows a few words, she is twenty-seven years old this year, slightly older than you, speaking of which, this Miss Fu is also a capable person, there is no brother at home, and she has helped her father and mother manage the shop grange since she was a child, and she shocked a group of stewards and house slaves to death, but she is very capable. ”

Mingjing understood what was going on, and was already full of anger, daring to love him for being a big fat fish for their mother and son to slaughter, and if he couldn't live a life, he would exchange him for silver? Seeing the old lady talking and talking about the period Ai Ai got up, and guessed that there would be more unbearable things in the future, I patiently listened to her.

The old lady saw that his face was quite calm, thinking that he had changed his temperament and become realistic due to an accident, so she simply let go and said: "It's a pity that Miss Fu's life is not good, and when her parents reach the age of eighteen, they can't bear to leave their father and mother to marry, so they recruit a scholar as a son-in-law, but this scholar is not blessed, and he enjoys the brocade clothes and jade food, but he died of a sudden illness in less than a year, leaving no man and half a woman, and it also caused Miss Fu to fall into the name of a nemesis, and no one dares to marry again."

Later, Master Fu asked the master to calculate the marriage for Miss Fu, saying that only the noble son who was born in a famous family can enter the Fu family to live the disaster star in Miss Fu's life, and then the husband and wife will be prosperous. Think about it, no matter how rich the Fu family is, how can a famous family be willing to marry? That's why Miss Fu has been delayed so far, and then I don't know how to hear about our family, and I heard that you have outstanding character, and I think it's a good opportunity, so I repeatedly asked someone to come to the door to propose marriage.

Jing'er, don't blame me, if it was before, I wouldn't let you marry a business****, let alone let you get into trouble, but my Xie family has fallen to this point, and I have to give in, in general, it's not bad, although it's not expensive, but it's rich, and it's always been rich and noble, although Miss Fu is older than you, and she is not beautiful, but you can live a good life in the past, if it's really a noble wife, I can also count the past to your father."

After speaking, he stared at Mingjing very eagerly, Mingjing had already sneered in his heart, although he guessed that it was not a good thing, he also understood that the old lady would never fulfill him and Changsheng, she wanted to treat herself as the property of the Xie family in exchange for the greatest benefit, and he married Changsheng as a wife, and there was no real benefit to the old lady.

But he never dreamed that he would be insulted to this point, counting them carefully, all of them were spurned by the world, with an ugly face, six years older, a wealthy merchant, and a ****, he was treated as a house slave. What's more, what if Miss Fu is young and beautiful and unmarried? His heart can't tolerate anyone except immortality.

He understands that the Xie family's life is not easy, a room full of people are used to squandering wealth and glory, where can they stand the life that is much better than ordinary people? What's more, although the emperor pardoned the Xie family, he also made it clear that he would be demoted to the common people from now on, and completely cut off the idea of the Xie family's glory and wealth, so the old lady heard that the Fu family came to the door to propose marriage.

Mingjing endured his anger, but he didn't find a suitable way out of the past few days, and he couldn't turn his face with the old lady for the time being, so he pondered for a moment and politely refused: "I heard that a man wants to sell himself to a woman's family, and hasn't he become a slave of others?" I am also a man, although the Xie family is defeated, but it is always from a famous family, otherwise the Fu family will not come to the door, how can I be a slave? Isn't it humiliating the family and dishonoring the surname? Maybe there are still people who make irresponsible remarks about their mother, and my father will never agree to it under Jiuquan."

He thought that he was the limit when he said this, and the old lady had no choice but to die of this thought. Because if the Xie family really let the concubine become a slave, wouldn't she be scolded to death? Maybe it will reach the ears of the emperor, and the Xie family will be punished again, this matter is really risky.

But the old lady had already prepared, she smiled: "My son didn't listen to rumors in the market that he was selling his body, but that was only for low-class poor men, and the woman's family was just an ordinary family." Thinking that the Fu family is so rich, how can he want a slave son-in-law? I heard that the scholar didn't sell his body, not to mention that you are the son of a famous family, and the Fu family is high, how dare you ask you to sell yourself? You've been a serious master ever since."

Mingjing was already angry, this mother and son were really too deceitful, they used to be powerful, and now they treat him as a fat fish that can be sold for a lot of money, and they have to think about themselves everywhere, so they simply uncovered all her masks, so they endured it and pretended to be interested and asked: "I heard that the man is going to change the surname of the woman, so the woman's family is going to make a large amount of money to change the surname, and the Fu family is so rich, shouldn't this be missing?" ”

There is also a change in the evening, the name of the chapter - I am not a fish, welcome to cheer
