The Fan Dang case that shocked the government and the opposition spread all over the capital within a day, and teahouses and restaurants all over the capital were talking about it, and the Cao family was no exception, and this news also shocked the Cao family, especially the son-in-law of the Cao family was also involved in the thirteen officials who were deposed, which made the Cao family pay special attention to this matter.

Some people in the Cao Mansion are worried that the Cao family will be implicated by Li Yanqing, and some people secretly laugh, who said that the third family would have a virtuous son-in-law?

Mrs. Cao's Wang heard the news from somewhere, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted to her husband, "Have you heard that Yanqing has been dismissed." ”

When Mrs. spoke, Cao Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "It's not a dismissal, it's just a demotion." ”

"What's the difference between that and dismissal, the dignified servant Yu Shi was demoted to Xiaozhi County, and spreading it will make others laugh at us."

"There's no way to do that, besides, even the prime minister and privy envoy have been demoted to the governor and the general judge, I don't think it's a big deal for Yanqing to be demoted to the magistrate."

"Who said there was no way!"

Mrs. Wang glared at her husband fiercely, pulled him aside and whispered: "Anyway, we haven't gotten married yet, you go and ask Ah Gong to discuss, can this marriage be canceled?" ”

Cao Xuan was shocked, "Madam, how can this be done, the dowry has been delivered, and the marriage will be welcomed in a few days, how can you regret the marriage at this time." ”

"Useless things, I knew you would say this, so I asked you to ask Ah Gong, maybe he also had this idea?"

"I'm not going!" Cao Xuan gambled on the airway.

Mrs. Wang's apricot eyes glared, "Are you going or not?" ”

Cao Xuan was afraid of guilt, so he had to lower his head and walk listlessly to the front yard.

At this moment, a cat meow came from the corner of the wall, and a small red figure was seen running away.

Cao Jiaojiao ran to her sister's room in one breath and shouted, "Da Shuniang, where are you?" ”

"You damn girl, what are you doing so loudly?"

Cao Yun is sorting out and packing her collection of books in the study, she will marry into the Li family in a few days, she has to take away these nearly 10,000 books and picture scrolls, and she has been so busy that she is dizzy in the past two days.

Cao Jiaojiao rushed in like a gust of wind and said urgently: "Da Shu Niang, my mother is going to ruin her marriage!" ”

'Wow! Cao Yun's hand fell to the ground, and she was also frightened, "You.... What did you say? ”

"I was looking for a cat just now, and I happened to hear my mother forcing my father to repent of his marriage, as if something had happened to Brother Li."

Cao Yun was in a hurry, turned around and ran briskly towards her mother's room, at this time Mrs. Wang was sitting in the living room drinking tea, Cao Yun broke in, and said angrily: "Mother, my daughter has something to say!" ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, why are you so fierce, is this an attitude towards your mother?" Madame Wang was very dissatisfied and slammed the teacup on the table.

Cao Yun held back her anger and said, "My daughter heard that her mother is going to repent of her marriage? ”

"Your ears are long, yes, I have the idea of regretting marriage, because I heard rumors that Li Yanqing was implicated in a major court case and was demoted to Xiaozhi County, so I don't think this marriage is very suitable."

"Mother!"

Cao Yun couldn't help but say angrily: "The dowry has come down, and the wedding date has been set, but the mother wants to regret the marriage, have you considered her daughter's feelings?" ”

Mrs. Wang was also angry, "I just regretted the marriage for your consideration, if you married my cousin, I didn't have any opinion, he is now the Yuhou military attache of the seventh grade, but he cheapened the Pan family for nothing, do you know how I feel?" ”

"Wang Jun is such a despicable villain, I won't marry him if I hit my head to death."

"You-"

Mrs. Wang was furious, and stepped forward to slap her daughter, "If you dare to mention a dead word again, see how I clean you up, go back to your room, and don't let you come out!" ”

Cao Yun was beaten by her mother for the first time, her tears suddenly welled up, and she choked up: "If my mother repents of marriage, then I will become a nun, I will do what I say, if I don't believe my mother, just wait and see!" ”

After Cao Yun finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, Mrs. Wang was also a little annoyed in her heart, she was still beating her daughter for the first time, but she was also angry, how could her daughter say nonsense about hitting her head to death, she was also very anxious in her heart, I don't know if her husband can persuade her grandfather to cancel this marriage?

.........

At the same time that Mrs. Wang repented of her marriage, in the Guike Hall in the front yard of Cao's mansion, Pan Xu was also persuading Cao Ping to cancel the marriage.

The reason why Pan Xu persuaded Cao Ping to cancel the marriage was because his eldest son Pan Lun became a candidate for the privy secret, and Pan Lun's wife was Cao Ping's niece, Wang Hao made this point out when talking to his eldest son, which made Pan Xu very nervous, and he was afraid that the marriage between the Cao family and Li Yanqing would affect his son's future.

"Brother Xian, you and I are from the past, how many officials were implicated in the Yuanyou Party case, and they have not been able to restore their reputation to this day, once the Fan Party case expands this time, the Cao family will definitely be implicated, I am very worried that Brother Xian will also be like a teacher who will not be able to protect his late season, and his title and official position will be lost, I advise Brother Xian to break it off, get rid of this marriage, and protect the Cao family's ......."

The more Cao Ping listened, the more gloomy his face became, how could he not understand Pan Xu's true purpose, where did Pan Xu think about the Cao family, he was obviously afraid that the Cao family would implicate the Pan family.

The Cao family is a bit risky, if Pan Xu really thinks about the Cao family, he can understand it, but the risk is still 108,000 miles away from the Pan family, Pan Xu persuaded himself to break off this marriage, regardless of the reputation of the Cao family, isn't this too selfish.

Cao Ping held back his anger and said: "The Li family's dowry gift has been sent, and the wedding date has been set, but he suddenly regretted the marriage, wouldn't he let the people in the capital laugh at it, and what if Yun Niang's lifelong event was said?" Who would dare to marry her? ”

"It's a lot of worry, now many couples can break up and remarry if they don't get along, not to mention that they haven't married yet, this is also a very normal thing, if Brother Xian is really worried about Yun Niang's lifelong event, then he can marry with the Pan family, my grandson Pan Wu also likes Yun Niang very much, it just happens to be a match made in heaven, what does Brother Xian think?"

Cao Ping smiled faintly and said: "I just think it's a little strange, Brother Pan was also against the Northern Expedition in the Great Dynasty, why is it that now Fan Zhixu was dismissed because of his opposition to the Northern Expedition, why did Brother Pan change his position again?" ”

"I haven't changed my position, even Cai Xiangguo hasn't changed my position! And this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Northern Expedition, it is a case of friends, and the virtuous brother must not confuse the two. ”

"Brother Pan, why should he deceive himself, the edict of the Son of Heaven does not have the word 'Fan Party' at all, someone is deliberately preaching that this is a party case, you and I both know in our hearts that Fan Zhixu and other thirteen people were demoted, the fundamental reason is that they oppose the Northern Expedition and have nothing to do with the Friends Party, I Cao Ping only hate myself for not becoming one of them, if I had worked a little harder and became the initiator of the joint book, I would also be one of the thirteen people of glory, but fortunately I have a grandson-in-law to win glory for me, this is my Cao Ping's luck."

"You-"

Pan Xu stood up angrily, and said with some annoyance: "If Brother Xian really becomes one of the thirteen members of the Fan Party, I will be the first to break off my friendship with you!" ”

Cao Ping couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted loudly: "Soup!" ”

"Good! Good! Since the virtuous brother must accept Li Yanqing as his son-in-law, then don't worry about me making my position clear, I'm sorry, don't give the wedding card to the Pan family, and I won't come if I give it. ”

"I'm not rare, please! Forgive me for not sending it. ”

Pan Xu rushed out angrily, and happened to meet Cao Xuan, he glared at Cao Xuan fiercely, turned around and walked quickly.

Cao Xuan was a little late, and only heard the fierce quarrel between his father and Uncle Pan, but he didn't know exactly why.

At this time, Cao Ping also appeared at the door with an angry face, and when he saw that his son was going to send Pan Xu, he shouted: "You don't have to send him!" ”

Cao Xuan was taken aback, is this his father and Uncle Pan turning faces? He hurriedly walked into the room and asked in a low voice, "Father, what happened?" ”

Cao Ping was still angry, and said hatefully: "He actually came to persuade me to cancel the marriage between Yanqing and Yun'er, and he forgot who rescued his nephew Pan Yue, ungrateful bastard!" ”

Cao Xuan was suddenly frightened and his heart was pounding, but fortunately he didn't speak, otherwise he would have been scolded by his father.

Cao Ping said angrily: "What makes me even more unacceptable is that he keeps crusading against the Fan Party, and he can't figure out the right and wrong, and he actually stands on the same line, I, Cao Ping, have no such friends, and you are not allowed to communicate with the Pan family in the future!" ”

"Father, this is going to be with Uncle Pan, no! Did you break off your friendship with Pan Xu? ”

"Almost! If he openly supports Wang Hao, then it is inevitable that the two families of Pan Cao will break off their friendship. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ping glanced at his son again, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"The child is also here for Yanqing, and the child is very worried about him."

Cao Ping's face softened a little, and said to his son: "It's normal for you to worry about him, and I'm also worried, but we have to look farther, everything has disadvantages and advantages, although Yanqing was demoted today, it is likely that this will be the capital of his rise in the future." ”

"Father, will you?"

Cao Ping nodded, "As long as the prince doesn't fall, he will!" ”

Cao Xuan finally found a reason to go back and explain to his wife, as long as his grandfather firmly supported this marriage, his wife had no choice but to accept it.

At this time, Cao Ping remembered something again and said to his son: "Is it the opening of the new store of Baoyanzhai tomorrow?" ”

"Exactly! Next to our good engineering armory, the child is going tomorrow. ”

"You tell your in-laws, even if I will personally go to congratulate the opening."
