Chapter 647: Shocking the World (3)

Zheng smiled helplessly: "Husband, having said that, he ...... Our Yang family was quite offensive to him before, if he holds a grudge, I'm afraid ...... Besides, he has the power to control the two important military and political affairs in Jiangnan and Shannan, if he is determined to suppress his husband, our Yang family will be in trouble after operating in Jiangnan for so many years...... In the future, who will still take the people of our Yang family in their eyes? ”

Yang Qi fell silent.

He knew that Zheng's worries were not wrong, in fact, Zheng's worries were also his worries, otherwise he would not have been restless in the past two days.

Zheng Shi also said: "In the past two days, the officials of Jiangnan have come to the door to ask for a meeting, and there is an endless stream of people, and the old mansion of the Kong family is full of people, and those who were originally vassals of our Yang family have begun to take refuge in the Jiangning County Palace, which is really unreasonable." However, after thinking about it, the concubine thinks about it, this world is like this, the so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, the husband might as well judge the situation, lower his figure, and take the initiative to go to the old mansion of the Kong family to see him, which can be regarded as easing the relationship between our two families, as long as Xue Ruo marries in the future, he will not embarrass our Yang family in the face of Xue Ruo, the husband said yes? ”

Yang Qi was still silent.

The Zheng family couldn't hold it back, and frowned: "Husband, you have been a local feudal town for so many years, our Yang family has been operating in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and today's power is not easy to come by, if it is because of a Confucian family and it will come to naught, it is really worth the loss, and the concubine feels ......."

Yang Qi suddenly became furious and roared, "What are you yelling about? You are a woman, what do you know? The old man has his own opinions! Besides, the reason why our Yang family has a bad and tense relationship with him is mostly because of you! If you hadn't been chattering in front of the old man, the old man would definitely not have divorced him in public for the sake of Kong Sheng's father! And this time, you are still chattering in front of the old man, bringing in the Xue family in Shannan, why is this so? Okay, it's good now, but you want to force the old man to bow his head and admit his mistake to a junior, it's really unreasonable! ”

Zheng was reprimanded by Yang Qi, although she was quite unimpressed, she still didn't dare to argue with Yang Qi in person. After all, the Tang Dynasty is open, but the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deep-rooted, although she is the wife of the Yang family, she does not dare to disobey her husband in person.

Zheng walked away.

Halfway through, she thought for a moment, and suddenly turned around and walked to her daughter's attic.

Yang Xueruo is chatting with the two daughters of Cotton Tree Liu Xinru at the moment, while picking up her own things, her wedding date with Kong Sheng is imminent, although the dowry is given by the family, but some small things still have to be prepared by themselves.

Liu Xinru has a gentle personality, likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and rarely goes out of the house. But Hongmian is a lively and active character, in and out, in and out, in and out, or from the outside world or from the mouths of the servants and miscellaneous servants in the Yang Mansion to learn all kinds of news about the Jiangning County Palace, and also somewhat understand the anxious mentality of Yang Qi and his wife now.

"Miss, I didn't expect that Kong Xiaolang...... Ah, no, our aunt...... Wrong, it was the king of Jiangning County who actually opened the palace in the old mansion of the Kong family, and the slave went to take a look, and the plaque inscribed by the emperor himself had been hung, but this house was too small and shabby, and it was not as good as our Yang family. Miss, why are you so unparticular about the dignity of the county king? ”

Kapok grinned and said: "Some people say that it was the king of the county who turned all his wealth and property into a dowry gift and sent it to our Yang family, so there is no money to repair and expand the palace...... If that's the case, Miss, this King Kong really didn't say anything to Miss, and his affection is very serious. ”

Yang Xueruo looked up at the red cotton in amazement.

Liu Xinru chuckled lightly on the side: "Miss, don't listen to Sister Cotton Cotton's nonsense, King Kong opened the mansion, but the imperial court and the emperor's edict, all the expenses do not need to be borne by King Kong Jun himself, the local government or the court will allocate funds, the reason why the county king's mansion is so simple, I am afraid that the King of Kong County does not like extravagance personally, Miss does not have to worry." ”

Although Liu Xinru was born as a geisha, she is full of talent, knowledge, and broad-mindedness, which is naturally not comparable to the red cotton, and she can see through the essence of the problem at a glance.

Yang Xueruo snorted, her expression was slightly shy: "As you said, Kong Lang is not that kind of vulgar person, but his extravagance and waste of sending so many dowry gifts is really too wasteful." Our Yang family is not greedy for money. ”

Hongmian lowered his head and pursed his lips secretly, and said in his heart, Miss, you are naturally not a greedy person, but Madame...... But he takes possessions very seriously. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. hated the poor and loved the rich, she wouldn't have to withdraw from the marriage in public, and this time she would have forced you to marry the Xue family in Shannan, fortunately, this Confucian family Xiaolang came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Xinru smiled: "Miss, King Kong Jun is unspeakably expensive now, and a little wealth should be nothing to him." Of course, Miss doesn't care about the dowry, but Miss has been waiting for him in the empty room for so many years, and when he returns to Jiangnan this time, he naturally has to consider Miss's affection. The slave family estimated that the reason why King Kong Jun was raising the army was mainly for outsiders to see, and the slave family also heard that the marriage date between Miss and King Kong County needed to be decided by the emperor himself. As soon as His Majesty's decree arrives, the young lady will be able to spend the full moon with King Kong Jun as she wishes. ”

Yang Xueruo hummed, nodded and said, "Cotton Cotton, Xinru, although according to the rules, the two of you are going to marry me into the county king's mansion...... But although you and I are called the master and servant, in fact, we are like sisters, let me ask you two, if you don't want to go to the county king's mansion with me, I can tell my mother to choose a good home for you, can you sisters marry together? ”

When a young lady from a big family gets married, the maid next to her is actually the girl who accompanies the marriage, and the future is the concubine of the other party. This is destined for the future fate of Kapok and Liu Xinru.

But if Yang Xue looks at the love of sisters, it is precious to have such an idea.

Cotton Wool was stunned, she hadn't thought about it at all. But she has accompanied Yang Xueruo since she was a child, and when she left the Yang family, she didn't know how she should survive. She thought about it, blushed and shook her head, "No, miss, the slave wants to stay by Miss's side forever and serve you." ”

Yang Xueruo sighed lightly: "Although the county prince's mansion has a prominent reputation, but as my dowry girl, it is better to marry an ordinary family after all, Kapok, you have to think about it." ”

Kapok shook his head and said softly and resolutely: "Miss, Kapok has served Miss since she was a child, and if you leave Miss, how can the slave and maid live?" The slave maid is a young lady in her life, and it is impossible to leave. ”

Yang Xueruo nodded and smiled slightly. In fact, she didn't want to change people around her, after all, she was married, married in a strange mansion, and there were still a few considerate people around her.

Yang Xueruo turned her head to look at Liu Xinru.

In fact, she has always known that Liu Xinru is a woman whose heart is higher than the sky, but her life is thinner than paper. At the beginning, she was entrusted by Kong Sheng to take Liu Xinru by her side, and she vaguely knew that Liu Xinru had a little thought about Kong Sheng.

However, she can be regarded as giving Liu Xinru a chance now, if she chooses to leave the Yang family, she will fulfill her.

Liu Xinru was a little cramped under Yang Xueruo's clear gaze, she blushed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Miss is as kind to the slave maid as a mountain, if it weren't for Miss's acceptance and protection over the years, Xinru would have died long ago." Since Xinru is the maid of the young lady, she naturally wants to follow the young lady to marry into the county king's mansion, unless the young lady does not want to be a slave, then, the slave and the maid would rather die to make a clear will! ”

Liu Xinru slowly raised her head, and there was a certain luster floating on her bright face.

Although her heart is higher than the sky, and sometimes she feels sorry for herself, her life is thinner than paper, but she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, without Kong Sheng and Yang Xueruo, her fate in the prostitution can be imagined, and it is because of Yang Xueruo's acceptance that she has a stable life now, although the days are dull, and she is also a maid, but it is different from the past when she was a prostitute.

The depth in Yang Xueruo's eyes swept away. She smiled and said, "Xinru, although you and I are called master and servant, we are actually sisters." Since you are willing to marry into the county prince's mansion with me, then, in the future, I will talk to Kong Lang, choose an appropriate time to accept you and the red cotton, you and I sisters will serve a husband together, get along with each other in the morning and evening, and the days will be long. ”

Hearing this, Hongmian blushed and lowered his head.

She knew that as a maid, she would inevitably have the fate of marrying and having sex with her, and it was not a fate she could resist.

But Liu Xinru was clearly a little happy in her heart. Kong Sheng is so noble, talented and beautiful, famous all over the world, to be able to marry such a man, even if it is for a maid and concubine, it is better than marrying an ordinary person as a wife. At least, in the county king's mansion, there is endless glory and wealth.

"But it's up to the young lady to decide!" Liu Xinru fell to the ground and choked up.

Yang Xueruo was about to say a few words, when suddenly another maid came to report: "Miss, Madame is here." ”

Yang Xueruo raised her eyebrows and had to go out.

Although Yang Xueruo was quite dissatisfied with her mother's previous persecution, she was born with filial piety, but she did not dare to be rude to her mother.

"Auntie!" Yang Xueruo bowed down.

Zheng immediately went over to help Yang Xueruo with a smile, "Daughter, you are now the princess of Jiangning County, how noble your identity is, if you see your mother in the future, don't bow down easily, this will lose the identity of the princess of the county." ”

Yang Xueruo smiled softly: "Where did my mother say, I will always be my mother's daughter, if I don't worship my mother, what kind of system will I become?" ”

Zheng nodded with a smile and took Yang Xueruo's hand, and said softly: "Daughter, mother is thinking about it...... I want you to go to the county king's mansion, I wonder if you are willing? ”

Yang Xueruo was startled, and then frowned secretly. She is not married to Kong Sheng yet, and it is not appropriate for her to meet Kong Sheng and enter the county king's mansion before marriage, which is inconsistent with etiquette. How could a mother not know this? But my mother still came to make it difficult for herself, really...... Yang Xueruo was even more disappointed in her heart.

"Mother, my daughter has not yet married Kong Lang, and at this moment I went to the county king's mansion before marriage, and the etiquette is not in line, Kong Lang is now the king of the county, and my daughter can't exceed the etiquette, and I ask my mother to understand her daughter's difficulties." Yang Xue said quietly.

Zheng smiled bitterly: "Daughter, my mother also knows that this is a bit inappropriate, but the matter is urgent, now your father is anxious, and the situation on Kong Sheng's side is unknown, if you don't ...... as soon as possible." My mother is worried that Kong Sheng will ......"

Zheng swallowed and vomited, and stopped talking. In fact, Yang Xueruo knew what her mother wanted to say, and she also knew why her parents were anxious for the past two days.

Yang Xueruo said softly: "Please rest assured, Kong Lang is not a person with a little chicken belly, he will not embarrass his father, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Zheng became a little restless, she said in her heart, daughter, daughter, how do you know, what your father is worried about now is not whether Kong Sheng will retaliate against the Yang family, but Kong Sheng is gradually showing signs of wanting to seize the power of the Yang family - this can be seen from the fact that Kong Sheng has been tirelessly meeting with officials from all walks of life in Jiangnan Province in the past two days.

Now Kong Sheng has nothing to do for the time being, but once Kong Sheng officially appears as the king of Jiangning County and the face of Xuanfu envoy, the military and political leaders of Jiangnan and Shannan, Yang Qi must hand over the military power and power in his hands.

Without power, there is no status, and the Yang family's painstaking management in Jiangnan came to naught in an instant. For Yang Qi, this is almost unacceptable.

"Daughter, for the sake of your parents' nurturing grace, you go and meet Kong Sheng......" Zheng rubbed his hands and said hurriedly.

Yang Xueruo sighed: "Mother, what can you say when you let your daughter see Kong Sheng?" What does my daughter say? You're teaching me?! ”

Zheng Shi paused for a moment, speechless for a while.

Yes, what did you say when your daughter saw Kong Sheng? What to say? Can't you just say that Kong Sheng should not take over the military and political power in Jiangnan? But this is the emperor's edict, and all these things are not to make Kong Sheng resist the decree? Not to mention Kong Sheng, even the Yang family can't afford such a crime of resisting the decree.

Yang Xueruo sighed faintly again, turned her back, and said a little helplessly: "Mother, my daughter just wants to wait quietly for the day when Kong Lang gets married, and she doesn't want anything else." The daughter thinks that as long as her daughter marries in the past, for the sake of her daughter, presumably Kong Lang will not care about the rights and wrongs of the past, and as for other things, her daughter can't control it and can't care about it. At this point, I also asked my mother to tell her father that my daughter could not do anything. ”

Yang Xueruo really has no choice.

Kong Sheng, as the supreme governor of Jiangnan and Shannan, replaced the power in Yang Qi's hands, which was inevitable and the result that the Yang family had to accept. This will not change in any way just because he marries into the county king's mansion.

The Yang family is her maiden family, but at present, she is thinking more about her duty as a wife. She can't and can't interfere in Kong Sheng's business, so in this matter, she can't help the Yang family.

Zheng looked at his daughter with a frown, a little dissatisfied. If it was in the past, the Zheng family would definitely have to count Yang Xueruo for a long time, but now Yang Xueruo is not only the daughter of the Yang family, but also the fiancée of the king of Jiangning County, the future princess of the county, and the Zheng family is helpless at the moment.

is as close as mother and daughter, but the status is equally disparity. It's like once the daughter of an ordinary family marries into the palace, she is the emperor's family and the master of the subjects of the world.
