When she went home in the afternoon, Hu Xiaoya told Fang Nan about the Qiao sisters' agreement to marry, and Fang Nan accepted with a wry smile.

In this era, it is normal for a powerful man to marry several women or even a dozen women, and Fang Nan has no idea about other women for the time being.

On the one hand, he was worried about his relationship with Hu Xiaoya, and he didn't want to make Hu Xiaoya sad, on the other hand, Fang Nan focused on the People's Army, and the People's Army did not have the absolute strength to defeat the Ming Court.

Since his wife has done things well, Fang Nan can only accept it, if he refuses now, let the Qiao family sisters be good, they can't say that they will seek death.

The Qiao sisters agreed to marry Fang Nan, but there was a slightly troublesome thing next, that is, to go to Qiao's mansion to propose, and Qiao Rong didn't know about the two daughters.

The most important point is that Qiao Rong was a literati, and the literati were mostly loyal to the Ming court.

Fortunately, there is one thing to rest assured, Fang Nan feels that Qiao Rong is not stupidly loyal to the Ming Court, and the literati who are loyal to the Ming Court have already died after the city is broken, and there are also a group of people who have tried to leave Guangdong to the Ming Dynasty, and now they are either dead, or they are unwilling to die, Qiao Rong is still in Guangzhou City, which shows that Qiao Rong does not want to die.

With this, Fang Nan will be easy to operate on the matter of proposing.

Just like the Emperor of the Ming Court, the emperor fancied which woman, the next holy decree passed, and the woman could be taken into the palace, the family did not dare to refuse the holy decree at all, and the rejection of the holy decree meant death, even the important ministers of the court were no exception.

Fang Nan is not an emperor, but he is also a soil emperor, and he directly sent someone to come to the door in the name of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to propose marriage, Qiao Rong had to accept it if he didn't take it, but Fang Nan didn't come to the door in person for the first time.

Thinking of this, Fang Nan immediately sent someone to arrange the matter of proposing.

Soon, on an auspicious day in late June, a "big red" team set off from the Dadu Governor's Mansion with a dowry, beating gongs and drums along the way, and marching to Qiao's Mansion.

Many people who like to watch the excitement followed behind the marriage proposal procession, wanting to see which woman was favored by the Metropolitan Governor.

On the Qiao Mansion side, the proposing team has not yet come, Qiao Rong has already known in advance, after all, it is a matter of the Dadu Governor, and some of the Qiao Mansion people outside know about it, and immediately ran back to Qiao Rong to report, but Qiao Rong didn't know that this proposing team was coming to his house, and he was still thinking about which woman was favored by the Dadu Governor.

Qiao Rong thought about it for a while, and really didn't think of any family with a young and unmarried woman, no, there was one.

"It's not going to be Qiao's Mansion, is it?"

Qiao Rong had a thought in his mind, and he felt that it was impossible, when did his two daughters know the Governor of the People's Army.

Just when Qiao Rong was thinking, the welcoming team came to the gate of Qiao's mansion and kept knocking.

Qiao Rong was so confused by the sound of gongs and drums that he couldn't continue to think, and felt that the sound of gongs and drums seemed to have not changed, Qiao Rong immediately felt bad, this welcoming team came to his house!

Before Qiao Rong could continue to think about it, the housekeeper had already run over and told Qiao Rong about the welcoming team outside the mansion.

The welcoming team of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, will he Qiao Rong pick it up or not?

This is a very difficult choice, he Qiao Rong is not stupid and loyal to the Ming Court, as long as the family can live in peace, Qiao Rong doesn't care whether the owner of this land is the Ming Emperor or the Governor of the People's Army.

It has little to do with the Ming Court, so that the Qiao family can continue to stay in Guangzhou City and not be raided by the People's Army, but it does not mean that Qiao Rong wants to let the Qiao family have contact with the People's Army.

If the daughter marries the Metropolitan Governor, and then the Ming Army defeats the People's Army, then the entire Qiao family is finished.

The key is that if Qiao Rong doesn't marry his daughter to the Dadu Governor, then it is possible that the Qiao family will be finished now, and they all say that the Dadu Governor is a good person and is good to the people, Qiao Rong doesn't believe it at all, it is just a means to win the hearts of the people, and if he really wants to refuse the Dadu Governor, the possibility that the Qiao family can be safe is very small.

One is to die now, the other is to die in the future, and it is also possible that the People's Army will overthrow the Ming court, the governor will become the emperor, and his daughter will become a concubine, and the Qiao family may grow stronger because of his daughter.

If he could choose, Qiao Rong really didn't want to marry his daughter to the governor and get in touch with the People's Army, but now he had to make a choice, the marriage proposal team had arrived, and Qiao Rong could only choose to accept it.

Acceptance is acceptance, Qiao Rong didn't want to go to the gate to greet him in person, after all, the governor wanted to marry his daughter, so that the future father-in-law was the door to greet what was the matter.

Qiao's house was busy with work, and finally the marriage was decided, and the Qiao sisters will marry the Dadu Governor Fang Nan together next month, and the proposed team left, leaving a dowry worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It seems that the value of the dowry is very high, but in fact the cost is not high, and the glass mirror and transparent glass, which are the most important part of the dowry, have a low production cost, but the price is relatively high.

Sent to Qiao's Mansion as a dowry, these glass mirrors Qiaofu can be given to others later as valuable gifts.

The proposing team left, and no one in the hall dared to show a smile, because Master Qiao, the owner of Qiao's Mansion, seemed to be very unhappy, and the others naturally didn't dare to laugh.

Qiao Rong was unhappy, very unhappy, for the Metropolitan Governor to marry his two daughters at once, Qiao Rong couldn't refuse, what really made Qiao Rong angry was that his two daughters didn't know when they came into contact with the Metropolitan Governor, and even the Metropolitan Governor sent someone to propose marriage, but the two daughters didn't tell him in advance about the matter to him, who was a father.

"Call Mu Xue and Mu Yu over, and you all go down."

"Yes, sir."

In the hall, the crowd began to disperse, and after a while, the Qiao sisters walked over with small steps.

Before Qiao Rong could speak, the Qiao sisters knelt in front of Qiao Rong.

"Dad, my daughter knows it's wrong." Qiao Muxue and Qiao Muyu whispered together.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the two daughters, Qiao Rong's idea of scolding dissipated.

"Alas!" Qiao Rong sighed and asked, "When did you two know that one?" ”

"Dad, we knew the Metropolitan Governor last year, but we didn't know his identity before, and Sister Xiaoya's husband is the Metropolitan Governor." Little Joe replied.

Listening to her daughter's words, Qiao Rong had a headache, a metropolitan governor, a metropolitan governor's wife, what kind of micro-service private visit to play.

After the headache, Qiao Rong was also relieved and relieved for his two daughters.

How chaotic the emperor's queen / palace can be imagined, this metropolitan governor now has only one wife, and it will definitely increase in the future, Qiao Rong is really worried that his two daughters will be bullied.

The wife of the Metropolitan Governor gave Qiao Rong a very good impression, the two daughters had a good relationship with her, and after marrying the Metropolitan Governor, they should not be bullied.

"Ugh."

If he could, Qiao Rong really didn't want his two daughters to marry the Governor of the People's Army.
