Xiao Cen pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What are you going to prepare?" Fang Jun's guy is a mallet, a little cub whose milk hair has not dried up, Niu Zhuji killed a few mobs and went straight to the top, didn't he rely on his Lao Tzu's power? According to me, don't bother at all, if he dares to come hard, then let him know that our Xiao family is not like the Gu family and the Yuan family and let him knead it! ”

Old and strong, he is talking about people like him.

Happy to live to a hundred years old, with the years of growth is temper, the older the more amazing, as if the whole day and the earth have to respect him, let him, if anyone with his teeth and glare, that is not respectful, impolite, not benefactors......

Xiao Jing was speechless.

It's not that you haven't seen Fang Jun's methods, you are ruthless, do you think that when you are old, that kid will let you?

After a little hesitation, he said: "The seventh brother's letter said that he would choose a daughter of the clan and give Fang Jun as a concubine, I think this is very good, and if you can pull a young man like Fang Jun into our Xiao clan's camp, there will be huge rewards in the future." ”

This time, Xiao Cen did not refuse, but nodded: "Fang Xuanling is a famous appearance, and he is a gentleman, Fang Jun is also young and promising, not to be regarded as insulting the daughter of our Xiao family, you can handle this matter." Choose a good-looking one, but also be smart and smart, and when Fang Xuanling arrives in Jiangnan, you will personally visit you and settle this matter. ”

If the family wants to maintain its strength and then grab greater benefits, the lowest cost and the best way is to marry.

Although the Fang family is not a famous family, and the background is very different from the Lanling Xiao family, but seeing that the Fang family is about to soar into the sky, it is not a shame to take the initiative to show favor and marriage......

Sending out a clan girl will give you a thousand-fold reward in the future.

Xiao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

It is true that he is the patriarch, and it is not false that he can suppress Xiao Yu, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants in front of Xiao Cen, throughout the ages, the word "filial piety" has always been the most respected and cared about by people.

If he is against marriage, Xiao Jing is really difficult to handle......

Xiao Jing looked at the old man with a red face again, this person is called Xiao Mao, he is Xiao Jing's brother, only one year younger than Xiao Jing, Xiao Yu also wants to be called a clan brother in person.

Xiao Jing asked: "Even if the smuggling business can't be stopped, but at this time of urgency, you still have to be careful, it's best not to be caught by the sailor, otherwise it will always be troublesome." ”

Xiao Mao didn't think so, but he didn't dare to refute Xiao Jing to his face, and said, "I understand, the ship heading to the countries of the South Seas has just returned and is being repaired in Qiantang Port. The letter from the seventh brother said that Emperor Fang Jun asked to lead the sailors to the sea to annihilate the Goguryeo sailors, and speculated that the emperor would definitely allow it, so that when Fang Jun led the sailors to the north, our fleet could just finish loading the goods, take advantage of the winter to make the last trip, and then repair the ships for the beginning of spring. ”

He was full of confidence, but Xiao Jing was not at ease: "If there is no deterrence from the sailors, I am afraid that the pirates in the South China Sea will make a comeback." ”

Xiao Mao said proudly: "So what? All of the ships are our family's well-trained private soldiers as sailors, and they have accumulated a great deal of experience in going to sea on several voyages, and they are no strangers to sea warfare. It can be said that except for the absence of such artillery, the combat effectiveness is completely below that of the naval division. The bandits of the South China Sea have been encircled and suppressed by the sailors several times, and they have already been defeated by rumors, and several large groups of pirates have been eliminated, and the rest are only a small group of thirty or fifty pirates, which cannot pose a threat to our fleet. Xiao Cuo, the unsuccessful son of my family, was in charge of training sailors on the ship, and the patriarch was relaxed. ”

Speaking of Xiao Cuo, Xiao Jing also nodded.

The Xiao family is a family heirloom and has outstanding literary talents, but this Xiao Cuo is born with superior divine power and force, and all the private soldiers in the clan are under his command, which is very reassuring.

Encountering a small group of pirates can indeed make it difficult for them to come and go......

"Then order the sea ships in Qiantang Port to speed up the speed of maintenance and rectification, and all localities should hurry up the allocation of materials to Qiantang, as long as the sailors go to the sea to the north, our fleet will immediately go south and go south, we must be cautious, and do not be found out by the sailors and cause trouble."

Xiao Jing made the final decision.

Although Xiao Yu's warning words were very harsh, under the temptation of the huge profits of the sea trade, the greed of the Xiao clan was already unstoppable, and they took risks just to grab huge profits......

Xiao Mao bowed her head and agreed, but she stopped talking.

Xiao Jing frowned and said unhappily: "My own brother, why can't you say it to your face, where does it come from like this?" ”

"Don't blame the patriarch, the little brother's mistake ......"

Xiao Mao laughed, and then said: "There is a granddaughter in the family, twenty-eight years old, smart and beautiful, but she is quite favored by my old wife, and she is very picky about her husband's family, and she has never been married to anyone. If you give that girl to Fang Jun as a concubine, what does the patriarch think? ”

Xiao Jing sneered in his heart.

Want to climb the high branches of Fang Jun?

The abacus is clanging......

But it's relieved to think about it, with Fang Jun's status today, even if he is a concubine, it must be a prominent family affair, and when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Fang Jun will rise even more, and the benefits of this family affair are too huge, and anyone who sees it will be greedy.

Among the relatives, this Xiao Mao has always been close to him and obedient to him, and it just so happens that he has no daughters of the right age in his family, so it is not a feasible strategy to attract Xiao Mao to follow him more and more wholeheartedly.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Then ask your family to prepare and prepare your granddaughter's birthday, although I don't have any opinions, but I have to consult Fang Xuanling's meaning, if the eight characters are not worthy, no one can do anything." ”

Xiao Mao raised her eyebrows: "That's nature, that's nature!" ”

I'm almost overjoyed!

Who is Fang Jun?

Fang Xuanling's son, the first celebrity in the current court, and the future Zaifu!

As long as he climbs into this family business, his Xiao Mao will soar into the sky from now on, as long as his granddaughter can envelop Fang Jun, even Xiao Jing will have to look at his face in the future......

The two discussed a few words in a low voice about the marriage, and everything was agreed, and when they turned around, they saw that the eighth uncle Xiao Cen was drowsy, and saliva dripped down the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but scold secretly: The old immortal, hurry up and die quietly......

*****

The autumn rain that swept through the south of the Yangtze River did not stop until dusk.

A mansion in Gangneung City was shrouded in smoke and rain, the flowers and plants in front of the building were verdant, and the cool air blew in through the open window, but it could not blow away the frowning eyebrows of a young girl standing by the window......

This girl was born very beautiful, sixteen or seventeen years old, plump cheeks, sharp chin, and a small cinnabar mole on her danzhu-like rhombic lips, which added a bit of beauty to the beauty. At this moment, Yingying is beautiful in front of the window, looking at the continuous rain curtain, and the cool water vapor is thick, which looks cold and lonely......

She seemed to have just bathed, a crow's hair was casually draped behind her, smooth and supple like satin, her upper body was covered with a lake-green thin coat, a pink gown on her outer head, gauze thin trousers, faded Luo socks and embroidered shoes, wide trousers dragged the ground, and a few folds of loose cages at the ankles, revealing two white greasy little feet from the snow-like sarong, the toes were like freshly peeled lychees, crystal lovely.

A faint sigh, the thin pipe, provocative......

"Oh, the person I'm going to be sent away as cargo hasn't taken pity on myself, but you, a noble girl, are sighing here, what's the reason?"

With a delicate word, a beautiful girl in red appeared behind her, with three points of abuse, three points of jealousy, and four points of resentment on her pretty face......

This is also an excellent beauty, but standing in front of the girl in pink at the moment, she will inevitably be blocked in color and reduced to vulgar powder.

The girl's frowning eyebrows did not stretch, she turned around when she heard the words, looked at the girl in front of her with clear eyes, looked at her in a bright red dress, and asked puzzledly: "What does my sister mean by this?" Also, isn't this the wedding dress you sewed for yourself, how can you wear it in such weather? ”

The girl in red snorted, her tone implied anger, glared at the beautiful woman in front of her, bit her lip and said, "Don't you know? My grandfather gave me away, haha, isn't it strange that the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling will one day be given away as goods? Don't be surprised, this is not the strangest thing, the strangest thing is that it is not a wife who is sent over, but a concubine......"

The girl in pink opened her ruddy little mouth slightly, and her pretty face was full of incredulity.

The girl in red gritted her teeth and completely exploded, with a hideous expression on her beautiful face, almost roaring: "What are you pretending to be innocent?!" Do you know that you hate this kind of innocent look in you the most? The whole family spoils you and holds you in the palm of your hand, you are sixteen years old, but the eighth uncle is still unwilling to marry you! Why?!Just because you are the blood of Emperor Jing? Hehe, it's okay for others to see you like this, but do you see yourself like this? You are not the granddaughter of Emperor Jing, let alone a nobleman, Daliang is dead, and you are just a princess who has no father and no mother! Why did you send me to Fang Jun's bed? You should go! ”

The girl's angry voice echoed in the small building, piercing through the drizzle and startling the birds perched among the trees......

The white teeth of the girl in pink bit her pink lips and looked at the hysterical girl in front of her in surprise.

"Poof!"

The girl in red knelt down in front of her suddenly, her face was full of tears, she raised her head and begged: "Please, Sister Shu'er, you go and tell the Eighth Uncle Ancestor, just say that you are willing to marry into the Fang family as a concubine, okay?" Eighth Uncle Ancestor listens to you the most, as long as you say it, he will definitely agree. Please, you know that I fell in love with my cousin's childhood sweetheart, and I have made a lifelong ......"

The girl in pink didn't speak, but just looked fixedly at the girl in front of her who was wagging her tail and begging for mercy.

You let me, the daughter of the Xiao family of Lanling, marry into the Fang family...... For concubines?!
