After sending Ma Fu away, the family gathered in the small flower hall and looked at each other. Geng Shi also heard the news at this time, and rushed over, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Master Xie pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Jin seems to mean that he wants us to take the initiative to withdraw this family business!" Ma Fu said a lot about Yunshan Fog just now, but Master Xie is also an old fritter in the officialdom, so he naturally understands his true intentions.

"Divorce? It's good, why do you want us to withdraw from our relatives? Master, what is the truth of this? Geng was simply confused. Yulan is the future daughter-in-law, but she has spent countless efforts to look at it, it is all satisfied, there are many girls from the big Chu family, but it is not easy to find a suitable daughter-in-law!

Xie Zhiyuan's face was pale, and he slapped his palm on the small table in front of him, and the cups and plates jumped wildly: "King Jin is bullying people!" I will never quit my family! "Xie Zhiyuan is also a person who has experienced life and death on the battlefield, and as soon as the words are spoken, there is naturally a chilling momentum." He manages the heavens and the earth, can he still manage whether others can marry their daughters-in-law? ”

Master Xie glared at his son and said, "Bastard boy, what kind of person is the prince of Jin, he is oppressing people with power, what can we do?" King Jin, how can people like us afford to provoke? "Ye Yichen is now powerful, not to mention that he is a small Shaoqing of Dali Temple, even if he uses the strength of the entire Xie family, Ye Yichen can easily destroy their family!

Ma Fu made it clear that he was just here to make a front stop, and when the Xie family had discussed it, Ye Yichen would come in person. With the powerful position of the prince of Jin, he really oppresses people with his power, and the Xie family really has to close their eyes and suffer this dumb loss!

Lord Xie just doesn't understand, what does Xie Zhiyuan's marriage have to do with Ye Yichen? Now above the court, the seizure of the heir is becoming more and more intense, and the attitude of the King of Jin is ambiguous, is it related to the move of the King of Jin and the competition between the prince and the king of Zhao for the position of prince? Master Xie couldn't help but think crookedly!

He thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what to do, and Geng was already in a hurry. At this time, a small servant outside hurriedly came in: "My lord, Gonggong Han of Jingyang Palace asks to see you!" ”

Father-in-law Han? Geng Shi glanced at her husband strangely, and Lord Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "I have never dealt with Concubine Hui of Jingyang Palace, and I don't know any Han Gonggong!" ”

Geng hurriedly avoided behind the screen, and after a while, the little servant brought in a twelve or thirteen-year-old father-in-law. It was Xiao Hanzi beside Ye Minzhao. Master Xie got up to greet him: "I don't know if Father-in-law Han is coming, I will miss the welcome, please sit down, please sit down!" ”

Lord Xie personally presented the good West Lake Longjing.

Xiao Hanzi is Ye Minzhao's personal eunuch, of course he won't put a small five-grade official in his eyes, he swaggered on the first seat, and said in an official tone: "You don't have to drink tea!" My little prince heard that Gongzi Xie came back from Datong from afar, and specially asked me to come over and take a look. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Lord Xie glanced at Xie Zhiyuan, stunned for a while, thinking that his son hadn't provoked some unprovoked characters outside, why did they all come to him. Xie Zhiyuan was also confused. There is an unwritten rule in officialdom that eunuchs are the most offended figures. Master Xie asked with a smile: "I don't know what my father-in-law said about the prince...... Which one is it? ”

Xiao Hanzi said proudly: "My prince is His Royal Highness King Lu!" ”

Lord Xie said in awe: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Lu!" I don't know what the prince commanded? Lord Xie was originally polite, but he didn't expect Xiao Han Zizhen to take out a letter from his arms: "The prince has a letter for me to bring to my lord!" What exactly should be done, adults will know at a glance! ”

Master Xie took the letter and read it in ten lines, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of anger. "This, this ......" Xie Zhiyuan took it from his father's hand, and after reading it quickly, he couldn't help but be angry: "His Royal Highness King Lu has discussed it with the Lord of Jin, and he came to humiliate my Xie family?" It turned out that in the letter written by Ye Minzhao himself, Ye Minzhao told Xie Zhiyuan in a very strong tone not to be delusional, and to quickly withdraw from his relationship with Yulan, otherwise, he would not dare to guarantee that something would happen to the Xie family next.

Ye Yichen was quite polite, at least leaving a way back for Xie Zhiyuan, and Ye Minzhao simply threatened □ naked. In the final analysis, the Xie family still has too shallow roots in the court, whether it is Ye Yichen or Ye Minzhao, none of them can afford to provoke them.

Xiao Hanzi raised his eyebrows: "Why did Gongzi Xie say this?" ”

Xie Zhiyuan snorted: "Father-in-law is afraid that he is knowingly asking, right?" ”

Xiao Hanzi couldn't help but sneer: "We don't know what you're talking about!" After saying this, he stood up, "The letter of the little prince has also been brought to you by our family, what to do, you should think about it!" I also advise you, since the nobles in the palace don't like this family business, it is better for you to honestly retire according to the wishes of the nobles, otherwise, if you toast and don't eat and drink, it will be boring, and our little prince is not a vegetarian! Leave! Xiao Hanzi arched his hand and went out.

Xie Zhiyuan hurriedly sent him out in person.

When he turned back, he saw Geng holding the letter and his face was blank: "What the hell is going on?" First is the prince of Jin, and here is another prince of Lu! Sir, what should I do, do you have an idea? ”

Master Xie sat on the chair with his butt and stroked his forehead with a headache. "It seems that we and the Yang family have no fate to be this in-laws after all!" The two princes came to the door together, he was only a small five-grade official, and he didn't have any real power in his hands, what could he do? People have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Geng said: "What does the master mean? ”

"What can I mean! Let's follow the path that the prince of Jin painted for us! "Lord Xie is weak and authentic." I just don't know what the temperament of the Jinyang County Lord is, tomorrow you will go out to inquire! The relatives of the Yang family, just retreat like this! ”

Master Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Compared with the two sides, it is a little more authentic than the King of Jin!" "At least it left a way out for the Xie family.

"Daddy! I don't agree to quit my family! Xie Zhiyuan shouted anxiously. He already had a strong affection for Yulan in his heart, and he was about to marry his fiancée, but he suddenly turned into an elbow, and Xie Zhiyuan was unwilling.

Master Xie turned his face at that time: "Bastard! Forget what our two elders said about your family affairs, let me go back to the room, you don't have to worry about this matter! ”

"Daddy!"

Master Xie slapped the table angrily: "You still dare to disobey your parents!" ”

Xie Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but after all, he didn't dare to fight against his father, and returned to his room in a huff. Geng's face was also full of sorrow: "How did a good family affair become like this?" Since the county lord of Jinyang is scraped with the royal family, how can he get along well. We married her back, didn't we marry an ancestor back, don't say that Yuan'er doesn't agree, and I, a mother, are not satisfied! ”

Master Xie said helplessly: "Now that it's over, do you have any other way?" Let's think about how to talk to the old lady of the Yang family about this when I arrive at the Yang family tomorrow! ”

Geng's family also had a headache, and the two princes all specially explained that they should never mention their names when they returned to their relatives, and Geng knew in his heart that it would not be easy for the fifth wife alone. This cousin niece is a square person, the most affectionate, for this family business, she did a lot of work at the beginning, otherwise the old lady may not be willing to marry the seventh girl to Xie Zhiyuan.

This is how she can explain to Mrs. Five!

On the second day, the Xie family set out. Master Xie took Geng and Xie Zhiyuan and went to the Yang family head-on. The eldest master happened to be at home, so he received Master Xie and Xie Zhiyuan in the front yard.

Geng entered the backyard alone, and knelt down when he saw the eldest wife: "Madam, I'm not here to compensate you!" ”

The eldest lady was taken aback, and personally stepped forward to help Geng up: "Mrs. in-law, why are you doing this?" If it weren't for the Queen Mother's state funeral, the two families would have made up their minds a long time ago, so the eldest lady would have changed her name to be her in-laws. Geng's Ai Ai waited for a long time, and finally said: "I came this time to discuss with you and ...... the marriage between Yuan'er and the Seventh Girl. Returned! ”

When the eldest lady heard this, her face couldn't help but sink: "Mrs. Xie, why are you doing this?" "The eldest lady didn't look down on such a family like the Xie family, but now it's good, they are in a hurry to withdraw from the family, the eldest lady can't help but rise a wave of anger in her heart, could it be that her son has been promoted to a five-grade Datongwei Qianhu, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is?

Geng's repeated compensation: "It's all our Xie family's no, it's all our Xie family's no!" The eldest lady asked her what the reason was, but Geng couldn't say it, but she was so anxious that a layer of sweat appeared on her face. The more the eldest lady thought about it, the more angry she became, this incident made the Yang family too faceless.

"The seventh sister of my family, although she is not a concubine, but she is born with a beautiful appearance and a good sense of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the most outstanding in the branch of the big house, but I originally looked at the face of the fifth brother and sister, and agreed to marry your Xie family, but what I fancy is that the Xie family has a strict family style, and the distant brother is a good one...... Since you are not satisfied with this family business now, you want to quit! Then it's okay to leave! With the talent of my seventh sister, I dare not say that it is not difficult to marry into a princely family, and it is not difficult to find a good family! "The implication is that the girls of our Yang family are not worried about getting married.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Geng apologized again and again, but he refused to let go, seeing that it meant that he was determined to withdraw from his family. If the eldest lady hadn't taken care of Yulan's reputation, she wouldn't have bothered to perfunctory her at all. After all, a girl's house that has not been out of the cabinet is returned to her relatives by others, even if the girl herself has no problems, it is inevitable that she will be discussed, which is definitely not a good thing for Yulan!

Saying this, Songhetang also got the rumor, the old lady was in a hurry, and asked the two little maids to help her come over in person, Geng's saw the old lady and apologized, but she bit her head to death and wanted to withdraw her relatives, no matter how the old lady asked, Geng just refused to say the reason.

The old lady was also arrogant, and her face changed with anger: "Since your Xie family has made up your mind, then quit this family business!" You and I had only a verbal agreement, and we didn't start to perform the six rituals! I just hope that Mrs. Xie will be merciful and don't talk nonsense! ”

Mrs. Xie naturally agreed. The old lady paused for crutches, and without saying much, she asked someone to help her and went back to Songhe Hall, but she didn't want to stay with Mrs. Xie for a moment. The eldest man in front also annoyed the Xie family's father and son, and directly served tea to the guests.

The eldest lady looked at the sky and said, "Everything is busy in the house, and I won't leave Mrs. Xie to eat here, Mrs. Xie, please do it!" "The two families haven't made up their minds anyway, and this pro is verbal, and it's convenient to retreat. Geng apologized again and again, and felt very angry. He said cheekily again: "In this matter, I still have to go to Ji Chunxuan and talk to my niece!" ”

The eldest lady said coldly: "Please!" I won't accompany you! Geng said goodbye to the eldest lady and went to Chunxuan.

Such a big thing can't be hidden from others at all, and Yulan's Lu Jingzhai quickly knew the truth. Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu didn't dare to hide it from their young lady, and told Yulan all the news they had heard. At the end, Xiaoyue said angrily: "Girl, don't be angry, don't get angry, the Xie family can't look down on you because they are blind, I want to see what kind of daughter-in-law they can find?" ”

Xiaoyu was very anxious when she heard this, thinking to herself, this dead girl, are you persuading the girl, or adding fuel to the fire! Xiaoyu said: "Look, Mrs. Xie is not an unreasonable person, the reason why the Xie family came to withdraw from her relatives is that I am afraid that there is something unspeakable!" Girl, don't be in a hurry, the fifth wife is also a member of the Xie family, and she will definitely make decisions for you. ”

Yulan looked at a flower garden outside the window, it was the height of summer, and at this moment it was already full of flowers, and it was full of purple and red. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly: "When did I say that I was in a hurry and was sad and wronged, I was just a little pity!" ”

Unfortunately, it's only a little bit!

Thinking of Xie Zhiyuan's heroic young man, I thought that I would be tied to him in this life, but who knew that the road was full of twists and turns, that young man, although I don't know if he was a good person, but she missed it like this, but she felt a sense of relief.
