Chapter 47: The Beijing Change
Gu Qinghan frowned, thought for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Canghai, from now on, the people in the mansion are strictly ordered not to go out at will, and if there are things that need to be purchased, they must also be cautious when going out." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" said to Qi Feng again: "Qi Feng, you have acquaintances in Kyoto Prefecture, ask what happened." ”
The two of them said yes, and Qi Feng said: "Third lady, if something really happened in the palace, the officials of Kyoto Prefecture were only ordered to patrol the streets, and why this is so, I don't think I will know." ”
"Qi Feng is right." Duan Canghai said: "The Imperial City has transferred to the Black Knife Battalion, and the Imperial City has been replaced, which shows that the palace intends to block the news, and it is difficult for us to find out what is happening in the palace at the moment." ”
Gu Qinghan groaned slightly, and then asked, "Is the capital blocked?" ”
"Not yet." Qi Feng said: "But looking at this formation, it is very likely that martial law will start in the whole city tonight, once martial law is imposed in the city, the blockade of the capital is inevitable." ”
"But the general will be out of the funeral in two days, once the capital is blocked, how can we get out of the city?" Gu Qinghan said worriedly: "The day of the funeral is done according to the number of rites, but if there is a mistake, not only will the feng shui be affected, but it will also violate the etiquette system, maybe someone will take advantage of this to make a living." ”
Duan Canghai said: "Third lady, rest assured, the capital gate is still in the hands of the Tiger God Battalion, and the commander of the Tiger God Battalion is the general's old subordinate, I will go to him when I turn around and ask him what the situation is, no matter what, I must ensure the smooth funeral of the general." ”
Gu Qinghan patted his plump chest and showed a light smile, "You see that I'm confused when I'm in a hurry, Commander Xue is still the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, with him, there shouldn't be a problem with the general's funeral." Then there was a look of worry between his eyebrows: "No wonder the palace has not sent someone over for a long time, and sure enough, there is a mess .....!" ”
Yang Ning didn't speak on the side, and after listening to a few people talking, he already knew that the capital was not peaceful now.
"By the way, Third Madam, when we came over, we saw that Wu Xianghou had just left, his face was not very good-looking, and he ..... And muttered ......! Duan Canghai wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said softly: "He seems to be quite dissatisfied with you, is something wrong?" ”
Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes showed disdain, and he sneered: "What good thing can you do when you come to him?" It is said that the tiger father has no dog, and this is really not effective when put on Wuxianghou. Thinking that Yang Ning was by his side, he didn't seem to have much to say, and said to Yang Ning: "Ning'er, don't worry about other things, handle the general's funeral first, and wait for other things to come." ”
Yang Ning nodded slightly, knowing that this matter was coming one after another, Gu Qinghan was only afraid that he would be upset now.
There was an accident in Beijing, Gu Qinghan had to go to report to Mrs. Tai, and after Gu Qinghan left, Duan Canghai instructed Qi Feng a few words, and Qi Feng also left quickly.
"Lord Shizi, if the Marquis of Wuxiang says something that you don't like, you don't have to take it to heart." Duan Canghai saw that Yang Ning's face was not very good-looking, and only thought that he had been wronged in front of Wuxianghou, and comforted: "Wuxianghou has always been informal, and sometimes he talks too much..... Too blunt. ”
Yang Ning smiled strangely and said, "He is here to dissolve the marriage contract today." ”
"That's ...... too!" Duan Canghai was about to persuade him, but his body shook suddenly, and he lost his voice: "What? Dissolution of marriage? Shiziye, you ..... Are you kidding? ”
Yang Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "You think I'm joking?" ”
"How is this possible?" Duan Canghai was shocked and said: "This marriage was decided when the two old marquis were alive, whether it is the Marquis of Jinyi or the Marquis of Wuxiang, they are all hereditary marquis of Great Chu, the family is noble, and the marriage contract is made, let alone a family like us, even if it is ..... Even if it is an ordinary family, it will never be easily torn apart. ”
Yang Ning smiled: "Didn't you say that the Marquis of Wuxiang was informal? You're really right, he said that the marriage contract will be dissolved, like tearing off a piece of waste paper. ”
Duan Canghaihu's eyes showed anger, his hands clenched into fists, and he said angrily: "The general has not yet come out of the funeral, he ..... He was treacherous, what is our Jinyi Marquis Mansion in his eyes? ”
Yang Ning touched his chin and said, "He said that our Qi family does not have a man who stands alone, and he also said that a fool like me is stupid and incompetent, and he is not worthy of their family's daughter at all." ”
Duan Canghai took a deep breath, and his voice carried an unconcealed anger: "Su Zhen is falling into the well, he ......!" He was so angry that he trembled and couldn't speak for a while.
Yang Ning raised his hand and patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, if you have a father, you must have a daughter, such a father who doesn't believe in his word, I'm afraid he won't be able to give birth to any good daughter." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said with a sly smile: "Second Uncle Duan, have you seen the daughter of their family, how does she look?" ”
Duan Canghai said: "I haven't seen it, but the Marquis of Wuxiang...... Su Zhen's appearance is not bad, and Mrs. Wuxianghou was also a famous beauty back then, and their daughter's appearance should not be bad. He said in a deep voice: "Lord Shizi, he wants to dissolve the marriage contract, can you agree?" ”
"Sanniang said that she would report to her grandmother." Although Yang Ning was very disdainful of what Wuxianghou did, he didn't care about this marriage, "Go back and see what Grandmother said." ”
Duan Canghai's anger did not subside, and he sneered: "Although Su Zhen is frivolous, he didn't expect such a big event, and he dared to turn it over, it is really unpredictable, I want to ...... back then!" Speaking of which, I hesitated, but finally did not continue.
Yang Ning smiled: "Does Second Uncle Duan know Su Zhen very well?" I don't know much about this father-in-law. ”
Duan Canghai knew that this prince was confused in the past, although he was not an idiot, but his brain was really not very bright, but now he seemed to be stimulated to become smarter, and began to know the sophistication of people, hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "When Su Zhen was young, he was a famous gentleman in the capital, lingering in the place of wind and moon all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, Wuxiang Hou was away all the year round, and he neglected to discipline ......!" ”
Yang Ning couldn't help but curse in his heart, before Su Zhen still scolded Qi Ning for lingering on the Qinhuai River with the appearance of a decent gentleman, but now it seems that he himself is a senior of Fengyue.
"When the third master got married, Su Zhen came to the wedding banquet, and he ......!" Duan Canghai clenched his fists, then shook his head and said, "It's all in the past, don't mention it." ”
Yang Ning had already aroused his curiosity and asked, "Second Uncle Duan, what happened?" It can't be that when the third uncle gets married, Su Zhen will still make trouble, right? ”
Duan Canghai sneered: "The prince really said it, that big wedding, Su Zhen and a few gentlemen actually sneaked into the cave room, saying that they wanted to make trouble in the cave room, behaving frivolously, and ...... when the third master arrived with someone!" Speaking of this, Duan Canghai showed a strange smile on his face: "When the third master arrived, Su Zhen was covered in blood, and he had already fainted to death at that time. ”
"Huh?" Yang Ning was even more interested, and when he heard that Su Zhen was unlucky, he was quite excited: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Duan Canghai looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's good that the prince knows, but don't say it everywhere, although many people know it, but now they don't dare to talk about it." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Although I didn't see it, but we all guessed that Su Zhen must have changed his prodigal temperament, and wanted to tease the third lady in the name of the haunting cave room, but was stabbed in the thigh by the third lady with scissors, although Su Zhen is the eldest son of the old marquis Su, but unfortunately he did not inherit the bravery of the old marquis Su, and he fainted on the spot." ”
Yang Ning couldn't help laughing, and only then did he understand why Wuxiang Hou Suzhen was a little jealous when he saw Gu Qinghan before, but it turned out that there was such a thing back then.
Thinking of Gu Qinghan's delicate appearance, but his shot was fierce, he couldn't help but be embarrassed.
"Although Su Zhen did something ridiculous, I never expected to dissolve the marriage contract without authorization." Duan Canghai sneered: "This person is anxious for quick success, thinking about how heroic Old Marquis Su was back then, he is also a person who promises his word, but he can't think of .....!" Shaking his head, "Since the title of Marquis of Wuxiang was inherited by Su Zhen, his prestige has already plummeted, and when people mention the four marquises, many of them are secretly laughing at Marquis Wuxiang for not being able to compare with the other three marquis, but the general does not dislike it, and still abides by the marriage contract of the year." ”
"Second Uncle Duan, Su Zhen came to dissolve the marriage contract, naturally because of his father's death." Yang Ning said slowly: "He only thought that the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion had declined since then, so he didn't want to marry us, and it was not strange to hear you mention this person's past behavior." After a pause, he said: "I only wonder now, why did he choose to come over on this day to dissolve the marriage contract, my father has not yet come out of the funeral, and when he came to mention this matter at this time, he naturally knew that this was tearing his face with our Jinyi Marquis Mansion, but if he had a trace of brains, he would not be so confused." ”
Duan Canghai frowned and said, "It's really strange for the prince to say this. Although Su Zhen is a light wave, he is not a stupid person, it stands to reason that even if he wants to dissolve the marriage contract, he should wait for a period of time, but he came over on the eve of the general's funeral, which is really a bit strange. ”
Yang Ning's eyes rolled, he lowered his voice and approached Duan Canghai, and asked, "Second Uncle Duan, do you think there are other reasons behind this?" I always felt that the dissolution of the marriage contract was not just a temporary decision made by Su Zhen. ”
Duan Canghai thought for a moment before saying, "This kind of thing, we can't guess it." Then he frowned and said: "But if the marriage contract is really dissolved, the reputation of our Jinyi Marquis Mansion will be greatly ruined." ”
"This is them tearing up the marriage contract, and they can only be discredited." Yang Ning sneered, "If you don't believe in your words, the signboard of Wuxianghou will stink in the future." ”
"Lord Shizi, you don't understand." Duan Canghai smiled bitterly: "Our Jinyi Marquis Mansion is in a predicament right now, many people are waiting, the Su family's dissolution of the marriage contract will greatly damage their reputation, but the reputation of our Jinyi Marquis Mansion will inevitably suffer." Think about it, the Su family took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, and in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the true appearance, they just thought that even the Su family couldn't look down on us, and they would feel that our Jinyi Hou Mansion had declined, so I am afraid that more people would fall into the ground. He said in a low voice: "Once the marriage contract is dissolved, the Su family will lose face, and our Jinyi Marquis Mansion will probably lose Lizi." ”
"I see!" Yang Ning narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
