Chapter 319: Forced Marriage
Han Zhu picked up the pre-rain Longjing served by the maid and blew the tea stalk in the cup. While raising his old eyes, Fang Zheng sat on the right side of the guest seat with a nervous expression.
After taking a sip of tea slowly, Han Zhu gently put down the tea cup, leaned on the back of the Taishi chair leisurely, closed his eyes, and then began to pick up his neatly trimmed and flowing hair, his fingers knocked on the armrests of the Taishi chair from time to time, Fang Zheng listened to the rhythm of the tapping, and after a while, he faintly heard a little taste. General Order", the old man Han is powerful, there is thunder in his chest, his face is like a flat lake, and he contains the spirit of killing in the calm.
Of course, Fang Zheng understood Han Zhu's mood at this time.
Anyone who sees a young man running out of his daughter's boudoir in a panic will produce a strong ** of playing the "General's Order".
Fang Zheng is now very envious of Han Yizhen, really, after the series of emergencies between the two was discovered by Han Zhu, Fu Yizhen's face was full of shame and indignation, and then he was afraid of sin, "I didn't commit suicide, I slammed the door slammed into the room, locked myself in the room like an ostrich, and no one could open it."
She is so happy, she doesn't have to face her father's questioning, she doesn't have to look at the strange and complicated eyes of those people in the Han Mansion, and she doesn't have to sit on pins and needles in the front hall of the Han Mansion at this moment, listening to her father's solo "General Order".
Fang Zheng was not so lucky.
He was invited to the front hall by Han Zhu with a frosty face, and then sat down separately, and finally the two spent their lives in silence. The atmosphere was very awkward, Fang Zheng wanted to run, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that just running might not solve the problem, so he had to continue to sit in the front hall, trying to pretend to be calm and unashamed, and endure the murderous aura that gradually spread in the silence.
Fu Zhu's fingers were still tapping on the armrest, and he glanced at Fang Zheng lightly, his fingers suddenly paused, the rhythm of "The General's Order" stopped, and before Fang Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, Han Zhu's fingers began to beat, this time he changed the rhythm, and listened attentively. Okay, "Ambush on All Sides",
Fang Zheng wanted to cry a little,
If time can go to the flow of time" Alas, forget it, don't go backwards, no matter where you go back, his life is a failure. Desperately mustering up his courage, Fang Zheng straightened his chest, and was about to put on a "kill or chop." Fortunately, Han Zhu opened his mouth first, breaking the almost suffocating silence in the front hall.
"Virtuous nephew". Han Zhu called slowly.
"The little one is, cough, the little nephew is here." Fang Zheng was so flattering that he was just a slave who didn't learn the Qing Dynasty to give this old man a thousand.
"You like my daughter?" Han Zhu got straight to the point.
"No, no, no, no. Nothing! Fang Zheng strenuously denied it.
"Huh?. Han Zhu's eyes were cold. The eyes are cold and gloomy.
"Ahh Like. Very fond of coffee," Fang Zheng became popular and sweated a lot.
"What?" Han Zhu's old eyes widened, and he was full of light, not knowing whether he was shocked or angry.
"Ahh No, I don't like to look at Han Zhu's face cautiously, Fang Zheng said tentatively: Should I like it or not?.
"This," Han Zhu groaned, "You can like it." ”
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was shocked, and faintly had a very bad premonition: "This" I really don't like horns
"Humph! You don't like my daughter, why did you run into her boudoir? What are you when I am my daughter? What is my Han family?. Han Zhu's tone was a little angry.
"Huh? This", Han Shibo, this is actually a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Han Zhu raised his eyebrows, not angry but mighty, the demeanor of the head of the family, even if Fang Zheng was the minister of the Qincha, he couldn't help but tremble a little.
"That's right! Misunderstand! This misunderstanding is so great that the little nephew has to whisper to you to explain it clearly,"
Fang Zheng hurriedly left his seat, stepped into Han Zhu's ear in two steps, and muttered softly: "In fact, I am very innocent with your daughter, I was invited by Miss Han today to come to your mansion to discuss tax matters with her, who knew that when she entered her small building, she was not busy with official business, and she really didn't have much time to wait for someone, so she went to her embroidery building, intending to urge her to come down, but she happened to meet her to change, cough, no." happened to meet you going upstairs, for the sake of Miss Han's innocent reputation, the little nephew hurriedly dodged, and then when you left, the little nephew dared to go downstairs "The whole thing is like this, the little nephew understands." Do you understand? ”
Han Zhu suddenly realized, and nodded quickly: "Understood, you took advantage of my daughter, and then wiped your mouth and wanted to slip away, just happened to be bumped into by me."
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, is there something wrong with this old man's thinking logic? What happened to his mouth, why did it all change the taste?
"Fu Shibo, maybe the little nephew didn't explain it clearly just now, and the little nephew will explain it to you again, today the nephew was invited by Miss Han
Han Zhuyi waved off Fang Zheng's words: "Okay, okay, it's useless to explain it now, the old man asked you, what are you going to do?" ”
"Huh? Hit "What are you going to do?" Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, and then stammered: "I" I plan to go back to the hotel to sleep, and when I wake up, I will eat something, and take a bath by the way. hair, trim your toenails
Han Zhu. More hum: "In this way, you took advantage of my daughter's daughter?" ”
"Huh? Han, Han Shibo's little nephew is wronged! The little nephew definitely didn't take advantage of Miss Han, if you don't believe me, I can swear a poisonous oath
Han Zhu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "In front of everyone's eyes, you ran out of Zhen'er's boudoir in a panic, if this matter spreads, how can my Han family gain a foothold in Jiangnan?" How will Zhen'er be a person in the future? Fang Xian's nephew, you are an important minister of the imperial court, you are well-informed, I don't know how the virtuous nephew can teach? ”
"This, ※. God looked at Han Nefoil carefully! "One by one. I sent people to sweep the streets and alleys to beat gongs and drums to refute the rumors, saying that Miss Han and I are innocent? ”
Han Zhupi smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew thinks this method is feasible? ”
"It's not feasible, Fang Zheng shook his head honestly, this kind of behavior is really stupid than three hundred taels of silver here.
"Han Shibo, don't sell it, what should you do, you should say it directly, the little nephew can't stand the fright, scared out of illness and likes to bite
After pondering for a long time, Han Zhu stroked his long beard and suddenly said, "I heard that the virtuous nephew is already married?" ”
"Ah" Yes, the little nephew has become married" Fang Zheng nodded hurriedly, secretly thinking in his heart, why did Old Man Han ask this? Could it be that he really wants to recruit himself as a son-in-law? Hey! Fortunately, I have become a relative, his Han family is a century-old family, and my daughter will definitely not make me a child
"I heard that Mrs. Zun is the current imperial sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping?" Han Zhu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Yes, yes, yes, very tough, punching my husband, kicking the tiger, the mortality rate of my family's descendants has risen sharply in recent years." Fang Zheng opened his eyes and talked nonsense, just in case, he had to belittle Changping's image, hoping to scare Old Man Han and dispel the idea of marrying his daughter.
Who knew that Han Zhu clapped his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "This is very good, so let's do it, virtuous nephew, tomorrow you will send your birthday, the old man will find someone to give you a kiss, you can just give a dowry, and then take Zhen'er away."
"He,,Hebazi?." Fang Zheng was shocked, sure enough, he guessed correctly, Old Man Han really planned to marry his daughter to himself.
Lightly fattened Fang Zheng, who was full of astonishment, Han Zhu slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Youyou said: "What about the virtuous nephew?" ”
What do you think? Depend on! It's so full circle!
Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Astringently said: "Han Shibo, if I say what I mean, can you promise, uh, not to drop the cup?" ”
Han Zhu glanced at the teacup in his hand strangely, and nodded subconsciously.
"So, can you guarantee that the axemen in the porch won't rush in and chop me into dog meat sauce?"
Han Zhu laughed and said, "What a mess! Where did the axe hand come from under the corridor? You've watched too much of the drama, right? ”
Fang Zheng was relieved at this time, then straightened his chest and said loudly: "If Shi Bo asks me what I mean, then I will say it bluntly, there is no way to do this!" ”
Fang Zheng felt a little strange in his heart, this old man Han was too exaggerated, right? He entered his daughter's boudoir, is it necessary to marry his daughter to me? He doesn't even mind knowing that I have a wife, is the old man not in his right mind?
It is said that Han Yizhen is such a stunning beauty, and she is smart and wise, not the kind of vase with big breasts and no brains, with Fang Zheng's temperament. It was extremely difficult to refuse this family business.
Every man dreams of a horde of wives and concubines. Now that the father has personally given his stunning daughter to himself, where can he find such a thing? But any normal man, who would refuse?
But Fang Zheng refused. He had to refuse.
With a wife and a concubine, he deeply knows what it is like to have more wives at home, not to mention that his wife in the main room is not very broad-minded, and the matter of Luo Yueniang entering the door of Fang's house has always been in his heart, and he doesn't know how to solve it. Now if another woman is added to enter Fang's house, Fang Zheng feels that with Changping's temperament, he is likely to touch Han Yizhen's room in the middle of the night and kill her with a knife. Or touch his bed and castrate himself, either of which he may not be willing to.
Fang Zheng is not afraid of guilt, before marrying Changping, Changping looked at his face carefully, once his face darkened, Changping was stunned in his heart, the reason why he refused Han Zhu was mainly because he felt that he couldn't be sorry for Changping anymore.
This is not to be afraid of Changping, but to respect her. Love for her.
Changping and him from acquaintance to love, which has gone through many twists and turns, the taste of life and death, so difficult and desperate, Changping has always been to him, gritted his teeth alone to support the whole family, now she is pregnant with Fang Zheng's child, is at home day and night, waiting for Fang Zheng to return to Beijing, how can Fang Zheng because of coveting Han Yizhen's beauty, agreed to this family business, and provoked Changping's sadness?
Fang Zheng is no longer the unrestrained and lawless Leng Touqing who crisscrossed the capital back then, and in the two years since he entered the officialdom, he has learned to think, learn to be calm, and learn to refuse temptation.
It is more difficult to give up than to get, and if you do it, you will be more open-minded.
Han Zhu obviously didn't expect Fang Zheng to refuse so easily, which made him very unhappy.
He Han Zhu is the only one daughter, and the whole family has grown up holding her in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and now Han Yizhen is eight years old, and she is slim. The country is beautiful and fragrant, not to mention that she is talented and intelligent, and she takes care of family affairs in an orderly manner, and the family gate valve who came to the Han family to propose marriage, the dignitaries and nobles have broken through the threshold, such a talented and beautiful woman, why did Fang Zheng abandon it like an open exhibition?
In fact, Han Zhu was not really willing to marry his daughter to Fang Zheng.
The Han family has been based in Jiangnan for more than 100 years, and it is the signboard of a time-honored family, with huge wealth and complex connections, with his Han family's reputation in Jiangnan, how could he be so rash, and even so disregarded to shove the only daughter of the Han family into Fang Zheng's arms? There may be a lot of people who like to belittle themselves, but he Han Zhu is by no means one of them.
As the head of the family, Han Zhu thinks more deeply than anyone else, because he is responsible for the survival and development of the family.
Now all the families in Jiangnan already know that the Han family took the lead in taking refuge in the imperial court and took refuge in Qincha, Han Zhu did not make a mistake in this move, but there will be gains and losses. If you get the respect of the imperial court, you will inevitably lose the friendship of all the families in Jiangnan, and even the hostility of the Jiangnan family.
There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world, since Han Zhu has made a roundabout decision, he has no intention of mending the relationship with the family in Jiangnan, and Han Zhu does not like to be a two-faced person.
The reverse can be true. Hanjiawang has established a good relationship with the imperial court, this relationship is still very fragile, it is not strong, because of their respective positions and interests, it is often easy to become alienated because of something, or even broken, if there is such a day in the future, the Han family will be like Zhu Bajie who looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out.
So Han Zhujue should think of a way to strengthen the relationship between the Han family and the imperial court, what way? Since ancient times, has there been a better way than to marry?
So Han Zhu set his eyes on Fang Zheng.
As everyone knows. Fang Zheng married the current emperor's own sister, in other words, the emperor is his brother-in-law, if Han Yizhen and Princess Changping serve a husband, then the relationship between the Fu family and the royal family is not like a sister? In this way, no matter whether it is the family in Jiangnan or the minister of the court, who dares to offend the Han family? The uncle of the Fu family is under one person. Fang Guogong above tens of thousands of people, who is Fang Guogong? The emperor's brother-in-law, the two of them are friends in trouble. The feelings are extremely deep, putting these aside, just talking about the Fang family, it is also the richest man in the Hua Dynasty, such a powerful and wealthy family, the Han family and its marriage, who are you afraid of?
Of course, Han Zhu is not the kind of ruthless father who sacrifices his daughter's happiness for the sake of family interests, and the main reason why Han Zhu made this marriage decision is that he found that there are also some inexplicable feelings between his daughter and Fang Zheng, plus what kind of flirting he heard intermittently, **Figure. A chance encounter with today's boudoir made him feel that his daughter seemed to have a good relationship with Fang Zheng, so it was so. The marriage between the Han family and the Fang family has become a good thing to have the best of both worlds.
People are not as good as heaven, Han Zhu never expected that Fang Zheng would refuse to marry his daughter. Could this son be sick?
Come to think of it. Han Zhu's old face sank, and he said coldly, "Nephew Fang Xian." It's not that the little girl is coarse
"Well, Han Shibo is serious, if you say vulgar, the little nephew is the most vulgar." Fang Zheng said with a smile.
As the minister of the Qin Mission, representing the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Fang Zheng didn't have to be so low, but now he was sitting in the front hall. One is an elder uncle, and the other is a younger virtuous nephew, not to mention that he had eaten Han Yizhen's little tofu more or less before, Fang Zheng felt a little weak in his heart.
"So. Doesn't the virtuous nephew think that the little girl is not gentle and virtuous enough? ”
That's right. Fang Zheng secretly rubbed the ** who was kicked by Han Yizhen just now, and said that he was suffering. But in front of Old Man Han, he couldn't tell the truth.
"Miss Han is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and dignified, and she is a model for women in my court, Fang Zheng praised with a clear conscience.
Han Zhu frowned and said, "Then why don't you want to marry her?" The old man doesn't mind if she does it for you, why are you not satisfied?.
What's not to like? Fang Zheng is embarrassed, how to answer this question? He has no relationship with his daughter at all? It's useless to say that. The older generation believes that they will first cave and then fall in love. Why don't you just ask him to take his daughter back and give it to himself in cash? If it's not right, the old man will definitely call the knife and axeman,
After holding back for a long time, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and then suddenly lowered his head, looking like a shy rabbit, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what I like has always been "What I like is a man,"
"Cluck!"
A deafening spring thunder rang out outside the front hall.
Han Zhu sat on the chair with a gloomy expression.
Three shifts in the middle of the night.
Outside the city of Suzhou, see you at Taihu Lake
Fang Zheng was saying goodbye to Xiao Huaiyuan, Feng Qiudao and Wen Sen.
Behind them. Five thousand soldiers of the Longwu Army, who were brightly dressed and armored, with bright swords and guns, lined up neatly, and were looking at Lord Qin Chafang in front of the queue with resolute eyes. Their countenances were as cold and hard as steel. In the military column, a chilling aura of slaughter permeated the surroundings.
Fang Zheng patted Feng Qiudao's shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Feng, everything is entrusted to you!" Marching and fighting, you know more than me, I won't be verbose, just remind you, be careful in everything, encounter canyons, steep mountains. The hilly place, you must find out clearly, if nothing else, if you lead the army to the capital this time, there will be an ambush on the way, Brother Feng, show me a beautiful battle! Can this trip to Jiangnan be a complete success? It's all up to you."
Feng Qiudao clenched his fists and said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Fang, please rest assured, Feng will definitely do his best to capture the person behind the curtain alive to see you."
Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "This is not necessary, I think that in this operation, the person behind the scenes will not show up, it is estimated that you will not be able to catch him, but as long as you can defeat the chaotic army that attacked you, there is a great hope that this case will be solved." ”
Turn your head. Fang Zheng looked at Wen Sen and said, "Old Wen, I don't need to teach you what to do, right?" Remember, you take the shadow brothers to dot Brother Feng's army far away, once Brother Feng wins, you will immediately lead people to secretly follow those fleeing rebels, see where they are fleeing, find out their details, and it is best to capture a few leaders who know alive and ask for confessions. ”
Vinson nodded heavily, his expression excited.
Shadow has not taken on such a major task for a long time, and this time it is related to the Jiangnan tax case, which can't help but make him full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
"It doesn't matter. The day before yesterday, I had secretly ordered General Han of the Longxiang Army in the capital to transfer 5,000 soldiers to Taihu Lake in the starry night to escort the tax silver, and I am afraid that I have already set off on Taihu Lake at this time.
