Chapter 638 Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old and Zeng knows 1)

Jiangning County is still prosperous. net

The so-called fireworks in March down to Yangzhou, although this Jiangning is not Yangzhou, but because the administrative center of Jiangnan Province is located in Jiangning, after decades of evolution, in fact, the prosperity of Jiangning is no less than the famous Yangzhou that moves the world.

The chief executive of Jiangnan is still Yang Qi, but the official position has become the Jiangnan Provincial Defense Envoy, in fact, the authority is similar to that of the Jiedu Envoy, but the imperial court recently issued an edict to change the name, I am afraid that it is also out of the negative lessons generated by the division of the feudal towns before the Anshi Rebellion, in order to control the power of the local feudal towns.

In the Yang Mansion, the lights are full of lights and people's voices. There are endless cars and horses in front of the mansion, and it is Yang Qi's 50th birthday, and there is an endless stream of local dignitaries and nobles who come to congratulate Yang Qi.

Yang Kuan, the chief housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, hurriedly rushed into the flower hall and said to Yang Qi, who was sipping tea: "My lord, the birthday banquet has been prepared, but"

"Just what?" Yang Qi said lightly.

"It's just that Xiu repeatedly refused to go out of the attic to attend the adult's birthday banquet, and Madame is persuading her" Yang Kuan said softly, his expression a little complicated.

This time, Yang Qi's birthday banquet actually had some unusual taste. Yang Qi wants to choose a son-in-law for his daughter Yang Xueruo at this birthday banquet - and the most competitive is Xue Feng, the son of Xue Long, the observer of Shannan Dongdao.

Xue on the hairpin, in his vein, there are at least a few people in the three generations of Sanpin officials. And Xue Lun Shannan is a feudal town, with a high position and power, and the Yang family is exactly the right match. That Xue Luzi Xue Feng is both talented and beautiful, Yang Qi investigated again and again, and he intended Xue Feng to be his son-in-law, and the two families married.

Yang Qi was slightly reconciled: "This girl is spoiled by the old husband, she has long passed the age of marriage, and she is still so willful!" ”

Yang Kuan's expression was complicated, the corners of his mouth opened, but he still swallowed the words in his stomach again.

In this Jiangning County, almost no one does not know that Yang Xueruo and Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng, who is far away in Chang'an, have made a private agreement for life, so many years, Yang Xueruo has been guarding the empty pavilion, waiting for Kong Sheng's return, but although Kong Sheng's fame is getting bigger and bigger, he conquered Henan, recovered the eastern capital Luoyang, was entrusted by the emperor with important tasks, served as the commander of the forbidden army and was canonized Chang'an Hou's various deeds, but also faintly introduced to Jiangnan, but he did not return, which made many people suspect that Kong Sheng had long been empathetic.

Yang Qi glanced at Yang Kuan, knowing what he wanted to say.

Yang Qi sneered: "That son of the Kong family, today, although he is in a high position, he is already a favorite of His Majesty's side, and there is a marquis, who controls the forbidden army in the capital, and his power is unmatched." However, after a few years, my daughter has been holding on to the empty house and can't wait for any news from him, so how can the old man believe that he will come back to Jiangnan? ”

In the past, the old man looked down on him and announced the dissolution of the marriage contract in public. Later, although Xue Ruo made a private agreement with him for life, he did not have the words of his parents. So, this is not true. Yang Qi got up slowly: "The old man only has this daughter, and he can't let her waste time and miss her life." Yang Kuan, you go and tell Xue Ruo that if she still insists on going her own way and refuses to obey her parents' orders, then the old man should not have her as a daughter. ”

Yang Xueruo leaned in front of the attic with a resentful expression, staring at a green bamboo forest in front of the attic. Behind her, her mother Zheng was still chattering and persuading: "Daughter, that Kong Sheng is just a negative man, why should you mistake him for life?" Xue Feng, the son of the Xue family in Shannan Province, is both talented and beautiful, and he has a soft spot for your daughter.

The maid Hongmian looked lonely on the side, and she didn't know what to say. In fact, Kapok felt that the old lady's words had some truth, after so many years, Kong Sheng had no news, and he did not fulfill his promise to return to Jiangning to marry Yang Xueruo.

Seeing that Yang Xueruo is too old to get married, she has already passed the age of marriage. And now there are all kinds of signs that Kong Sheng has already empathized with him, maybe he doesn't know who to do well with at this moment, and he has long forgotten the Yang daughter in Jiangnan.

"A-Niang, don't say it, your daughter has made up her mind, if the parents insist on marrying their daughter to the son of the Xue family, then the daughter can only die to make her will!" Yang Xueruo said softly.

Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so willful?" Do you know that Kong Sheng has long been empathetic, and half a year ago, he heard a businessman from Chang'an talk that His Majesty has given Princess Ji Guo to Kong Sheng, and he has a princess as a wife, can he still think of you? Don't be stupid, my child} for the mother's word."

Yang Xueruo became emotional: "Ah Niang, my daughter doesn't believe that Kong Sheng will abandon me and ignore me, my daughter has already promised the Kong family that she will never marry anyone else!" ”

Zheng sneered: "Okay, okay, don't mention your marriage contract, you were just a private lifelong decision, without the order of your parents, it shouldn't be true." ”

"Since you're obsessed, then I might as well tell you the truth. The son of the Xue family came from Jiangbei, and there was conclusive news that Kong Sheng had been deposed from his official position because he angered the emperor, and he was demoted from the capital and cut to the people, and he didn't know where to be exiled. Although he has some talent, how can he be compared with the son of the Xue family? Zheng said coldly.

Yang Xueruo was taken aback: "A-Niang, what you said is true?" ”

"How can A-Niang lie to you?!" Zheng thought that Yang Xue was active, so he immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "The son of the Xue family is very affectionate to you, you and I are two families, and under the marriage, it will be of great benefit to you and our Yang family."

Yang Xueruo's face changed miserably, two crystal tears rolled down her cheeks in her beautiful eyes, she suddenly came from sadness, rushed to her bedroom, closed the door and cried bitterly.

Zheng had no choice but to give a look to the red cotton and the maid Liu Xinru, who was standing beside him with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, suggesting that they continue to persuade Xiu, and then hurriedly went downstairs.

Today's feast in Yang's Mansion, there are many guests, including many female dependents, as the wife of the Yang family, the Zheng family cannot help but come forward to entertain.

In Zheng's opinion, her daughter must be able to figure it out. Even if she doesn't agree now, she will definitely agree to marry after a while. Since the daughter refuses to attend the banquet, then don't attend, anyway, the parents' order, at the banquet, she will marry Xue Huan, a town in Shannan Domain, who came to congratulate her birthday and propose marriage.

Liu Xinru walked into Yang Xueruo's bedroom with light steps, the first prostitute on the Qinhuai River in the past, who had lived in the Yang Mansion for many years, had already washed her eyes and became one of the simple maids around Yang Xueruo.

Looking at Yang Xueruo's painful appearance, Liu Xinru sighed lightly and said softly: "Xiu, don't be sad, it's not good to cry." ”

Yang Xueruo choked up and lifted the peerless face of the pear blossom with rain: "Xinru, is it true that you said that Kong Lang was dismissed by His Majesty as a citizen?" Where is he now, can you tell me about it? ”

Liu Xinru said: "Xiu, the slave maid hasn't heard of this news, it must have been brought by someone from the Xue family, so it's not fake." ”

"Xiu, after so many years, Kong Sheng actually ignored Xiu, if he couldn't marry Xiu for the time being, why didn't he even have a letter? I think that Kong Sheng is a negative man, in fact, he is in Jiangning, he was originally a scoundrel, and now he is also "Hongmian also walked in and said dissatisfied.

Yang Xueruo: "Red Cotton, don't slander Kong Lang." I knew Kong Sheng, and when he was leaving, he promised me that I would never believe that he would betray my promise! ”

Hongmian frowned, knowing that it was difficult for his show to twist this string, and it was in vain.

Liu Xinru raised her eyebrows, and thought about it: "Xiu, today's birthday banquet of the lord, it is said that there are many guests from all sides, among which there are guests from Jiangbei and even Chang'an, we may be able to inquire about the news of Kong Jialangjun, you see"

Yang Xueruo opened her mouth, got up slowly, muttered for a while, wiped away her tears, and said resolutely: "Kapok, Xinru, help me make up, I'll go to my father's birthday banquet!" ”
