Chapter 149: Qian Yunhong refuses to marry
Outside the gate of the Shuaifu, there were a lot of people, because at the lantern festival last night, the old lady came in person and announced the marriage of the Xiao Qian family in public.
Therefore, according to the column, today, the Shuaifu has prepared a lot of money and candy, as well as red cakes and red cloths, which will be distributed free of charge by a special person in front of the Shuaifu.
It doesn't matter if you are an ordinary person or a beggar along the street, as long as you come forward and say the last auspicious word, you can receive something.
Therefore, whenever there is a happy event in this big family, the outside of the house has always been very lively, and in front of the Shuai Mansion, there is a joyful and lively atmosphere.
The carriage of Huai'an Houfu drove straight in and stopped in front of the door, and then Qian Yunhong walked out.
The subordinates of the Xiao family, who were in charge of distributing things outside the mansion, saw that Qian Yunhong was coming, because they knew that the other party was the uncle of the future Shuai Mansion, so they hurriedly ran to the front and congratulated Jili A lot of words were said, so they looked forward to this young marquis, and they were happy to reward them with some gold and silver.
But Qian Yunhong, who had a gloomy face, heard these festive words, let alone reward the silver, directly raised his hand and gave these subordinates a loud slap per person.
This time, not to mention these subordinates, even the many people who are onlookers, they will all be stunned, I don't know what kind of madness this new marquis is now.
Obviously, he was about to marry Miss Xiao's family, but now he beat the subordinates in the other party's mansion, and he was still in front of the Shuai Mansion.
In front of everyone's eyes, if it weren't for the old lady's public announcement last night that Qian Yunhong was the quasi-son-in-law of the Xiao Mansion, everyone would have thought that he had come to find the Xiao family's bad luck.
But in fact, they were right to think so, so they saw Qian Yunhong walk up the stone steps in front of the Shuai Mansion, then raised his hand, and then said with a serious face:
"Ladies and gentlemen of Changping, please don't accept the happy things issued by the Shuai Mansion, my Qian Yunhong is now more than a month after his parents have died, how can he be in a hurry to marry a wife and have children before the three-year filial piety period expires, yesterday's lantern festival, why did Mrs. Xiao announce the marriage of my two families in public, I don't know this time, so I came to the Shuai Mansion today to make it clear in front of you, and the province caused unnecessary misunderstandings."
Qian Yunhong's words instantly made the onlookers boil and talk, after all, the Xiao and Qian families are both famous families in Beijing, yesterday the Xiao family announced the marriage contract, and today the Qian family came forward to deny it, this Changping for hundreds of years, between these big families, there has never been such a dramatic thing, and for a while, everyone's suspicion is almost overwhelmed.
And the few people who were rewarded with a slap in the handsome mansion didn't care about being embarrassed at this time, they were all frightened by Qian Yunhong's words, and seeing that the onlookers were gathering more and more, the scene was out of control several times, they quickly turned around and ran to the house, so as to report the matter to the old lady.
And now the old lady is in the Yuxiang Courtyard, holding Xiao Jinyu's hand, talking happily.
After all, although she was forced by Xiao Jinxuan last night and had to announce the wedding date, the old lady's heart is also stable, and she doesn't have to worry about any changes.
And because Xiao Jinyu's stomach can't wait, so the wedding date is set at the end of the month, seeing that the other party is about to get married in more than ten days, the old lady naturally wants to come to Yuxiangyuan and send the dowry that was prepared in the early years to this most beloved granddaughter.
And accompanied by the old lady, there are also the eldest lady Zhao, as well as the Shen family and the Qian family, they are all Xiao Jinyu's elders, and when their niece gets married, they naturally have to prepare heavy gifts and tell a few thoughtful words.
And Xiao Jinyu is now also smiling with her head down, and she is relieved that this twists and turns of marriage can be regarded as having been settled.
Even Xiao Jinyu will really thank Xiao Jinxuan a little bit for this, it seemed dangerous last night, and her pregnancy was also exposed, but as soon as the final wedding date was announced, although this concubine was exempted from marriage as she wished, the biggest beneficiary was her Xiao Jinyu.
was thinking so proudly, and insinuated that Xiao Jinxuan's soldiers surrounded Taining Courtyard and made trouble all night, but in the end she made a wedding dress for her, and before she was happy enough, the subordinates who ran back from outside the mansion rushed in.
"Old lady, grandmothers, go to the front of the mansion and take a look, the Huai'an of the Qian family is here, he does not allow the servants to distribute happy gifts in public, and threatens to have no marriage contract with Miss Jinyu, and now there are hundreds of onlookers, all of whom are talking about this matter, standing there and refusing to leave."
Hearing that Qian Yunhong was coming, Xiao Jinyu was overjoyed in her heart, just because this fiancé was here to visit her.
But when the next person finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu stood up with a pale face, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"How can this be, grandmother, what's wrong, didn't Qian Yunhong give Yu'er a dowry, how can he repent of his marriage in public now, how can he see people in the future for his granddaughter."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu shed tears in panic, turned around and ran out of the door, but before she took a few steps, she felt a tingling sensation in her abdomen.
In fact, this is normal, Xiao Jinyu is now pregnant, and this pregnant woman is the most taboo to be sad and happy, otherwise it will be easy to move the fetal gas.
But Xiao Jinyu was full of thoughts, all she wanted was to see Qian Yunhong and ask the other party why she had abandoned her three times and not married, so she endured the discomfort, and regardless of the old lady's voice behind her, she staggered to the front of the house.
And on the side of the Forsythia Courtyard, the real person behind the scenes who forced Qian Yunhong to come this time will be leisurely fiddling with all kinds of fragrant tea.
I saw that Xiao Jinxuan put the dried ginger shreds and the red dandan's wolfberries on a small scale for weighing tea, accurately took out the amount, and then carefully picked out the best grade of the dried rhododendron tea earlier, and then put it together with the ginger shredded wolfberry.
Then she took mint, white chrysanthemum, a little shou wu and ginseng slices, weighed them carefully, and mixed them into tea.
Baizhu, who was waiting on the side, because he knew medical science, looked at it for a while, and then asked lightly:
"Miss, the first effect of the tea you prepared this time is to dispel cold and dehumidify, and then this one is to refresh and replenish qi, have you been feeling unwell recently, why don't you go and boil some tonic soup for you."
Xiao Jinxuan, who was wrapping the two kinds of tea into countless small portions, shook her head and smiled when she heard this.
"Baizhu doesn't have to, this tea is not for me, you will send these two large bags of tea to King Rui's mansion in a while, and after seeing His Royal Highness King Rui, I will hand him the refreshing ginseng tea, and say that this is a small thank you gift for me to thank him for borrowing troops yesterday."
Holding the tea leaves that had been wrapped into two large portions in his hand, Baizhu couldn't help but ask suspiciously:
"Miss, what about this cold and dehumidifying tea, wasn't it sent to King Rui?
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's mind saw Zhou Xianyu wearing wet clothes, and immediately frowned and said softly:
"Naturally, it's for King Rui, but you tell him that if His Royal Highness comes over, you might as well give him some to drink, this tea is very warm and very beneficial to him."
Bai Zhu nodded when she heard the words and went to do things, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but lower her head after she left, looking at the unused ginger and wolfberries on the table, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In fact, the first tea just now was specially rationed to Zhou Xianyu, after forcing the old lady to compromise yesterday, when Zhou Xianyu left the Shuai Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan saw the other party and sneezed several times, although this detail was small, but it was still remembered by her.
Thinking that the other party had been in the lake for so long, and stood wet for a long time after coming up, she was afraid that Zhou Xianyu would not know how to take care of herself, and she would not be able to diagnose and treat herself well if she suffered from the cold, so Xiao Jinxuan specially prepared this tea material, just to let the other party drive away the moisture and save the province of being disturbed by typhoid fever.
But now she wants to care, but she doesn't dare to get too close to Zhou Xianyu, for fear that the other party will be affected by something because of her, so she made a big turn, hoping that with Zhou Xianrui's hand, this tea can be delivered to Zhou Xianyu.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan was a little stunned, Wen Xin knocked on the door from the outside and came in.
And when Wen Xin came in, he saw Xiao Jinxuan sitting there distracted, unaware of his existence, and immediately shook his head helplessly.
stepped forward and nudged Xiao Jinxuan a few times, and Wen Xin said with a smile on her eyebrows:
"Jinxuan, you are really steady, now there is a commotion in front of the Shuai Mansion, the old lady is out in person, and she is arguing with Qian Yunhong in public, then Xiao Jinyu has cried and fainted twice, this good show was ordered by you personally, I waited outside for a long time, and I didn't see you over, and when I came back, I saw that you were sitting in a daze, but I was really sad."
Wen Xin has always treated Xiao Jinxuan, who is two years younger than him, as if he was a sister, so between these words, he has always been as casual as a relative, even in front of people, he will call each other Miss, but in his heart, Xiao Jinxuan will always be his little cousin, a benefactor who changed his fate when he was most down, and a master he can protect with his life.
Speaking of Xiao Jinxuan, who was stirred up by Wen Xin, she couldn't help but smile and stabilize her mind, and then stood up.
"Let's go, look at your excited face, since the drama over there is so good-looking, if I don't go to take a look, won't I regret it for life."
Whether it is the old lady or Xiao Jinyu, when Xiao Jinxuan forced her to announce the marriage contract of Xiao Qian and the two families last night, they all thought that she was trying to protect herself and avoid the fate of substitute marriage.
But no one knew that Xiao Jinxuan would do this, from beginning to end she was not for self-preservation at all, the real purpose was to promote today's repentant marriage show.
After Guanyin Yuan unintentionally rescued Meng Langzhong, Xiao Jinxuan entrusted Zhou Xianrui to treat and revive this person, and a few days after returning to Jingshi, news came from Rui Wangfu, saying that the person was out of danger, and asked Xiao Jinxuan how to arrange the other party.
At that time, Qian Yunhong was busy with the hereditary title and controlling the Hou Mansion, which would not pose any threat to Xiao Jinxuan, but she had always been cautious, and she still held Meng Langzhong in her hands, leaving a backhand.
Obviously, her strong sense of distress is a very good habit, originally a dispensable waste card, but now it has become Xiao Jinxuan's weapon to contain Qian Yunhong, and force the other party to act according to her requirements.
first asked the Xiao family to announce the marriage contract in public, and then after the matter was decided, he forced Qian Yunhong to regret the marriage, so that he became the laughing stock of the entire Jingshi, and was suspicious and shameful.
No matter who wins the battle between the Qian and Xiao families today, the person who has the last laugh will only be Xiao Jinxuan, who is hiding in the shadows and watching all this coldly.
Since some people dare to put their crooked thoughts on her head, and they still want to join forces to force her to marry, the anger in Xiao Jinxuan's heart because of hatred will also sweep away everyone mercilessly, and completely destroy them one by one!
