Chapter 67: A Family Rejoices and a Family Grieves 2
readx;?“ Emperor Taishang was in a good mood at that time, so he said that he would marry Princess Nanchang to his little nephew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The little nephew didn't say no, but Wei Xiang helped the little nephew oppose it first. "Wang Haoran's outwitting Wei Zheng to be a colt will definitely come out soon, and he doesn't dare to change the facts too much," At this time, His Majesty spoke, saying that as long as the little nephew could persuade Wei Zheng not to object, he would allow the little nephew to mine copper mines, and the little nephew and the little nephew were greedy for a while, so he persuaded Wei Xiang. So His Majesty decreed that the little nephew and Princess Nanchang would be married in two years, and then the copper mine could be mined. ”
"It seems that the Wang family is now climbing a high branch and becoming a phoenix!" Xie Shengxing's face was unhappy and said coldly.
"Uncle Xie is angry, how can the little nephew forget that the Xie family has a deep affection for the little nephew? The little nephew told the emperor that the little nephew was in trouble, and the Xie family did not give up on the little nephew, and it was very helpful, and the emperor was grateful for the loyalty of the Xie family, so he agreed to let the little nephew and the princess marry together with a sedan chair when they were married. ”
"What if you carry a sedan chair eight times? It's not a concubine yet! Xie Qingyou, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, had already tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but come out and shout, and turned around and left after speaking. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as equal wives, except for the main room, the rest were concubines, which was also stipulated by the law. However, among the concubines, there are also good concubines and low concubines, and good concubines are registered in the government and have some status in the family, but they are far from being comparable to the main room.
"You'er!" Xie Shengxing failed to call Xie Qingyou back, sat back in his place, and said after a long time: "The old man also knows that the little nephew also has difficulties, and the will of the Emperor and His Majesty is something that ordinary people like us dare to resist." But You'er is the pearl of the old man's palm, let the old man think about it and give you an answer in a few days, you can go back first. ”
Xie Shengxing and his wife didn't dare to mention Wang Haoran in front of their daughter all day, so they could only wait for her to calm down before enlightening her. Until the evening. The couple found Xie Qingyou's room and saw that the meals sent to her had been eaten, and then they felt a little relieved. Many novels like to use tea and rice to render the sadness of the characters, which brings a lot of children, Ah Huo wants to ask, when people are sad, they are hungry and don't eat, so what if they encounter urgency? Will you hold back and not go to the toilet? Or let it stay on your legs?
"You'er" Mrs. Xie didn't know how to persuade her, and held Xie Qingyou's hand pityingly and called.
"You'er, Wang Haoran's kid also has his own hardships, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey." Xie Shengxing said.
"What imperial order is difficult to disobey? If he didn't argue with Wei, wouldn't there be no such thing? This is the most difficult hurdle in Xie Qingyou's heart.
"Do you think that if Wei Zheng comes forward to oppose it, the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty will definitely do it? Wang Haoran is talented, and not only in terms of literary talent. You should have heard it today, the new weapon of the imperial court was developed by this kid, do you think Your Majesty will want to trap this kid for his own use? Even if Haoran opposes it, it may not be useful, and in this case, instead of rushing into His Majesty, it is better to follow His Majesty's wishes to take down the copper mine. ”
"Humph! You will think about how you can make a profit. If that guy resolutely refuses to marry the princess, is it possible that His Majesty will force it? ”
"The royal family values the face the most, if the dignified royal princess is rejected when she sends it over, where is the royal face? If Your Majesty hates Haoran, then what do you think Haoran will be? It is impossible to reuse, and it is impossible to ignore it, if there are hostile forces to win over Haoran, it will definitely become a major hidden danger for Datang. ”
"This" Xie Qing faintly felt that the consequences of doing this might be really serious, "Could it be that Your Majesty will be unfavorable to Wang Haoran?" ”
Xie Shengxing lowered his voice and replied: "The country is important, if Your Majesty talks about feelings, Haoran can't compare to Li Jiancheng." ”
Xie Qingyou's heart sank, she knew about the Xuanwu Gate, although His Majesty was optimistic about Wang Haoran, who could deal with the king, who was not walking on thin ice? Thinking of Wang Haoran's difficulties, Xie Qingyou's anger also dropped. But thinking that his father had spoken for Wang Haoran from the moment he entered the door, his anger had just dropped, and his anger suddenly came up again: "Dad, how do you feel that the child feels more like Wang Haoran and his father?" Why do you always help him talk? I'm your daughter! ”
"Daddy, how could I speak for that perfidious stinky boy? If anything, Daddy, I'm going to be on my precious daughter's side! As for the matter of that stinky boy, if our family You'er doesn't agree, the old man and I will go to the Wang family tomorrow to retreat, and their Wang family will not dare to refuse. Xie Shengxing saw that his daughter's mood had improved a lot, so he put on a straight face and hugged her grievances.
Xie Qing glanced at his father, she couldn't see that her father was just coaxing her, but now she was in the mood to pay attention to this, thinking that she would have to be a concubine if she married Wang Haoran, she felt a lot of loss in her heart, "Dad, mother, do you think this Wang Haoran is reliable?" ”
"Now it seems that this kid is quite reliable." Xie Shengxing thought for a moment before replying seriously.
"Mother, I believe in your father's vision, but I have wronged our daughter." Mrs. Xie's voice was a little moist.
"That's it, Dad, you tell Wang Haoran that as long as he promises me three conditions, I will agree to marry him."
"Which three?"
"First, he can't take any more concubines, second, I make my own decisions where I live, third, if the princess and I have children in the future, he can't be partial."
"It's still my daughter who thinks about it." Xie Shengxing praised, "It's just that you will all have children in the future, and there will still be a difference between you and your concubine after all, I'm afraid this is not something he can control." ”
"I don't care, otherwise I won't get married!" Xie Qingyou said firmly.
The next day, Xie Shengxing came to Wang's house to relay his daughter's request to Wang Haoran? Wang Haoran hesitated, and finally traveled to the ancient times where he could have "three wives and four concubines", how could he be willing to have only two wives?
Xie Shengxing thought of Wang Haoran too noblely, and thought that Wang Haoran was making trouble for the third request, so he said helplessly: "The old man's family You'er said that you are willing to marry you only if you agree to these requirements." You'er has always regarded herself very highly, and now she can make such a concession, which also shows that she has a deep affection for you, can't you kid show your sincerity? ”
Wang Haoran's face turned red when he was said, and he thought that Xie Shengxing had seen through his thoughts. Forget it, two is just two, I hope that Princess Nanchang can also be beautiful," the little nephew all agreed. ”
"And the third one, how do you think about it?" Xie Shengxing didn't think that Wang Haoran could do this, and seeing that Wang Haoran agreed, he was a little worried that Wang Haoran was just dealing with his daughter for now.
What is the "third article"? For Wang Haoran, his own species has nothing to do with who gave birth to him, so how can there be partiality? This also reassures Uncle Xie that the little nephew will treat his children equally, no matter who is born to them. The little nephew is just a merchant, and all he can have in the future is some money, even if it is divided equally among the children in the future. ”
Xie Shengxing thought about it, Wang Haoran was still credible when he said this, if he was a person who loved money, he would not have united several major cloth merchants at the beginning, and he would not have set aside some shares for other small merchants.
Sending Xie Shengxing away, Wang Haoran can be regarded as relieved, the matter in Chang'an City is over, and he plans to return to Puzhou tomorrow, and the miners there are still waiting for him.
When Wang Haoran arrived in Puzhou and found Zhao Yuankai with the emperor's edict, Zhao Yuankai didn't go to check the edict, and warmly beckoned Wang Haoran to take a seat and said, "Why did Wang Gongzi come back so late?" Your affairs in the capital, this official has long heard about it. Here, the official first congratulates Wang Gongzi on his good fortune! ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Wang Haoran arched his hand and said, "Now that the grass people have obtained His Majesty's permission, and the grass people's iron mine can continue to be mined, can Zhao Tingshi send Chang Shusheng to the grass mine to go to the forced labor?" ”
"Absolutely. When Wang Gongzi wants someone, he can take it away at any time. Zhao Yuankai was a lot more polite in the face of the quasi-emperor's relatives.
"Or the grass people will take it away now, the grass people's mining farm will start in the next few days, and he will need to direct the mining affairs."
"It's okay, the official will send someone to bring him over."
