Chapter 264: Sudden Change
Xiao Fan's pretentiousness made Chen Siliu anxious, and he didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, so he slapped the board on the spot, and his daughter gave it to you, and he would not return it.
After all, a businessman is a businessman, and marrying his daughter shows such integrity, Xiao Fan is smiling, but he is happy in his heart.
After a few years, he is not the immature son-in-law who came to the door at the beginning, in the past few years, he has played tricks with so many court ministers and the king of the border domain, and he has already become old and slippery, and Chen Siliu, the old fox, is still planted in the hands of the little fox after all.
Although he was a little resentful and felt that Xiao Fan was cheaper, Chen Siliu was still very happy, his daughter was finally married, and the beloved person entrusted to her and her family was what she and her family wanted.
Chen Siliu is a person who cherishes blessings, although he has a big belly, but there are not many ambitions in it, the Chen family can prosper in his generation, take off the hat of lowly merchants in one fell swoop, and enter the ranks of the official family, which is enough to comfort the ancestors of the Chen family.
The person who can make Chen Jiaxing is naturally the son-in-law in front of him, who likes how he looks at it, not only the mother-in-law in this world looks at the son-in-law more interestingly, but the father-in-law also looks at the son-in-law is also very interesting. This sense of accomplishment is like taking a big advantage when doing business, discovering a mountain of gold, quietly occupying it and being ecstatic but having to force itself to calm down, holding back uncomfortable, but happy in my heart.
"Virtuous nephew...... Oh, no, virtuous son-in-law, you see, should we sign a contract or something? Chen Siliu spoke slowly.
Xiao Fanleng was stunned: "Contract? What do you mean? ”
Chen Siliu stroked his fat belly and explained seriously: "Look, you married my daughter, but there is no written surname to prove this, right?" The businessman pays attention to buying and leaving, and will not return or exchange, what if you regret it in the future? To be honest, if you have a contract, it means that this deal will not be able to run, and the raw rice will be cooked and cooked...... Oh, you and Ying'er have already cooked rice, haven't you? That's not counted, only cooked rice with a contract is called real cooked rice...... Ahh
Chen Zhou couldn't listen to it, so he reached out and pinched Chen Siliu's ribs, and Chen Siliu jumped up in pain.
Xiao Fan was stunned for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Uncle...... Oh, no, the contract my father-in-law said should be a marriage letter, right? ”
Chen Siliu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, that's what the old man means, the marriage book, and some people call it the marriage book......"
Chen Zhou said coldly on the side: "Everyone calls it a marriage book, only you call it a contract." ”
Xiao Fan was sweating, a businessman is a businessman, marrying a daughter has become a deal in his eyes, and he also wrote a contract...... "The marriage book is no problem...... Xiao Fan said with a smile: "What about the product manual?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Siliu was dumbfounded.
"None? It doesn't matter, what about the product shelf life? ”
Chen Siliu: "............"
"Didn't either? There's always after-sales service, right? ”
Chen Siliu: "............"
Xiao Fan sighed faintly: "You are a three-no product......"
Chen Siliuyi gritted his teeth: "Give an extra tenth of the Chen family's property as a dowry!" ”
"Deal!"
Everyone inside and outside the hall couldn't help laughing, Chen Ying'er, who had been hiding behind the screen of the side door and eavesdropping, couldn't hold back any longer, ran out with her skirt, first glared at her father Chen Siliu, and then walked to Xiao Fan's side, pinched his arm hard, and said angrily: "You sold me as an object to buy?" Well? ”
Xiao Fan bared his teeth and grinned bitterly: "I didn't have any conditions, my father-in-law must be so polite, as a junior, but it is disrespectful......"
"You're cheap, and you're selling well!" Chen Ying'er was so angry that she pinched his arm again.
Chen Siliu stroked the sparse beard under the chin and smiled, but the taste in his heart was a little complicated, it is reported that Xiao Fan's family has three wives, two of them are still the identity of the county lord, after seeing this year, after the new emperor officially used the year name of Jianwen, the county lord will immediately be promoted to the princess, the heavenly family has many arrogant and arrogant characters, Ying'er is just the daughter of a merchant, her mother's family does not have any background to support her, will she be bullied if she marries into the Xiao Mansion?
"Virtuous son-in-law, I heard that there are three ladies in your family, Ying'er ......" Chen Siliu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Fan is a smart person, he can see Chen Siliu's worry at a glance, and looks up at Chen Ying'er, her pretty face is full of redness, and her beautiful eyes are shining when she debuts, which is exactly the appearance of a little woman immersed in happiness.
Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said: "My father-in-law, whether it is the daughter of the heavenly family or the daughter of a merchant, when they enter the door of the Xiao Mansion, their identity is only my Xiao Fan's wife, that's all." ”
Chen Siliu was relieved when he heard this, and his fat old face finally fully bloomed into a smile.
Chen Ying'er was even more moved, her eyes were red, and she quietly grabbed Xiao Fan's arm with both hands, and never let go.
A lifetime of one generation and one pair, fighting for two places**? Lovesick and not blind date, who is the spring of the day.
When everyone was celebrating, there was another commotion outside the Chen Mansion, and a young man in a brocade guard flying fish suit blushed, pushed and pushed into the inner hall, and shouted: "I am from the Chen family, why don't you let me in?" Everyone is a yamen, do you do this? It's too much of a bully......"
Xiao Fan in the hall looked back in shock, but saw that this person was Chen Siliu's only son, Chen Ying'er's younger brother Chen Ning.
Under Xiao Fan's care, Chen Ning, who was only eighteen years old, entered Jinyiwei, Xiao Fansuo's surname was sold generously, and he became a hereditary hundred, this time he went back to Jiangpu and forgot to call him together, this kid actually rushed back from Jingshi by himself.
Cao Yi used to be the magistrate of Jiangpu County, so he naturally recognized Chen Ning, so he gestured to the guards and let Chen Ning in.
Chen Ning staggered into the inner hall, greeted his parents and sister with a smile, turned his head to see his top boss sitting at the head of the guest seat, the Chengyi Marquis who called the wind and rain in the Beijing Division, and Xiao Fan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Chen Ning, who had been in the Jinyi Guard for a long time, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly straightened his clothes, knelt down on one knee towards Xiao Fan, and said solemnly: "Mark Chen Ning, meet the commander." ”
Xiao Fan smiled bitterly, how could this kid be like a flute and have no eyesight at all? Now that I'm sitting with your parents, what's the matter with you worshipping me?
"That's it, you get up, this is your home, I came to visit your parents as a junior, so you don't have to be polite to me." Xiao Fan said lightly.
Chen Ning looked at Chen Siliu suspiciously, Chen Siliu glared at him fiercely, and then snorted heavily.
Chen Ning stood up at this time, and then looked at Xiao Fan curiously.
Xiao Fan had lived in the Chen family for four years, and the two naturally knew each other, but Chen Ning was a famous gentleman in Jiangpu County at that time, relying on the family's money to eat, drink and have fun, and rarely returned home at all, for Xiao Fan, Chen Ning knew about his existence, but at that time, Chen Siliuyi was thinking about sweeping Xiao Fan out of the house, Chen Ning naturally didn't care much about this brother-in-law who was about to disappear, although the two had known each other for a long time, they had never intersected.
However, now it is different from the past, the down-and-out brother-in-law of the past is already extremely noble, holding heavy power, he is a ruthless character who controls the world and calls for wind and rain, and he is also his Chen Ning's top boss, and the benefactor who reborn the Chen family.
After observing cautiously for a long time, Chen Ning tentatively said: "It is ...... to command the envoy to come to my house."
Chen Siliuyi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Little beasts, they are all from their own family, what is the name of the commander?" ”
Chen Ning said: "My own family? Who is in the family with whom? ”
Xiao Fan pointed to his nose and smiled: "I am my own family with you, and you are my brother-in-law." ”
Chen Ning's mouth opened wide, and he felt a sense of blissful dizziness.
Chen Siliu said angrily: "Beast, what is the hair!" Don't hurry up and call your brother-in-law! How did I give birth to you idiot......"
Chen Ning was stunned for a long time, and said with surprise and joy: "Brother-in-law! You...... When I'm my brother-in-law again? ”
Xiao Fan's face was pale, and he was a brother-in-law, which was ...... Chen Siliu's face was full of iron, and he trembled with anger.
Chen Ying'er's neck burst into thin green tendons, and she couldn't wait to strangle him with her own hands.
Chen Ning was unconscious, holding Xiao Fan's hand and said happily: "My brother-in-law is the commander of the envoy, so in this way, I can't be promoted?" Right? Brother-in-law? ”
Xiao Fan sighed, this kid is only eighteen years old after all, and his speech is too subtle, it's not impossible to ask for officials, but your appearance is too ugly...... His eyes swept inadvertently, but he saw Chen Siliu staring at him expectantly, Xiao Fan had a number in his heart, the Chen family has been in business for generations, Chen Siliu is the head of the family, and he is too eager to get rid of the merchants, and the Chen family has only one son to inherit the incense, and now that he has such a prominent and noble son-in-law, he naturally hopes that Xiao Fan will promote the Chen family again.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Fan said slowly: "Chen Ning, you are still young and inexperienced, and you will be promoted to a high position rashly, and you will not be able to control your subordinates, and this move is afraid of being impeached by the imperial history of the DPRK and China, and it is the right way to go step by step above the officialdom, so let's do it, you temporarily come to my side as a personal guard commander, and after two years of training by my side, I will let you out, and promise you a guerrilla general from the fifth grade, and you will work hard for a few more years in the future, and it is not too late to be promoted to a general or even a general soldier, at that time, the Chen family will be reborn, and the lintel will be revitalized...... Father-in-law, what do you think? ”
Chen Siliu's tears were about to fall, his eyes were red, and he choked and nodded vigorously.
Good son-in-law Ruosi, what more can you ask for in life?
Xiao Fan's words are tantamount to completely pulling the Chen family out of the ranks of merchants and officially stepping into the home of the official eunuch, which is a great kindness.
The Chen family is all ecstatic, the word identity, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's really there, it can make the family raise their eyebrows, and it can also make the family downcast, noble and lowly, completely only look at the level of status, this is a very realistic thing.
Chen Ning was even more happy to dance, patted Xiao Fan's shoulder forgetfully, and said with a big grin: "Brother-in-law is so interesting!" Tonight, the younger brother has a treat, and he will give you two young people to break their bodies, thinking that they are celebrating, so it is decided, brother-in-law, you must give me face......"
Xiao Fan's face was strange and he smiled awkwardly, and Cao Yi and the other brocade guards outside the hall laughed back and forth, but the faces of the Chen family were all gloomy.
Long...... Chen Siliu turned his head and said to Chen Zhou very seriously: "I finally found out that I am your long-lost brother......
Chen Zhou was at a loss...... Chen Siliuyi pointed at Chen Ning: "...... Otherwise, how could such an idiot be born? ”
A soft sedan chair, followed by more than a dozen carts of dowry, Chen Yinger officially entered the door of Xiao Mansion in a low-key manner.
Keeping in mind her identity, Chen Yinger solemnly worshiped the thrush and Jiangdu with a concubine after entering the door, among the four ladies, Chen Yinger has been in her teenage years, which is the oldest, but she is very careful to call the thrush, Jiangdu and Zhang Hongqiao are sisters.
After so many years, happiness is not easy to come by, and it must be properly managed, cherished, and bitter lovesickness.
This happiness was earned by her own hands!
After spending a few days of sweet and bland days with her sweetheart in Xiao Mansion, Chen Yinger started work non-stop.
She has not forgotten the entrustment of Thrush and Jiang Du, and she has not forgotten that her husband is now entangled in all affairs, as his wife, she naturally has to spare no effort to relieve his worries.
Unconsciously, it has reached the cold winter wax moon, and the thirty-first year of Hongwu is about to pass.
This year seems to be peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide is surging like turbulent waves, and now it has finally passed.
On the third day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily in Beijing, and a copy of the transcript was placed on Zhu Yunwen's desk.
The recital was written by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the words in it were sincere, not only expressing his support for His Majesty's accession to the throne of the new emperor, but also swearing that the king of Yan would be loyal to the great emperor for generations, and his loyalty could be seen from heaven.
After expressing his loyalty, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, put forward a request, the emperor's uncle fought for the country when he was young, several hits of the Tartars, and did not hesitate to kill the Tartars, and personally went into battle to kill countless Tartars, now he is getting old, the long-term injury recurs, the scabies are very serious, and finally the hospital bed is bedridden, I am afraid that the life will not be long, the saddest thing is that the first emperor died, the emperor's uncle in order to express his mourning, sent three sons to Beijing to mourn, in order to show filial piety, but this went like a stone sinking into the sea, all three of them were stranded in Beijing, and there was no son under his knees to serve the soup medicine and tea, and there was no filial piety at the end of his life. If Your Majesty suspects that the minister has bad intentions, the minister is willing to give up the fiefdom of Beiping, let go of all military power, cut the Yan Domain, and ignore political and military affairs, only to see his son before he dies...... This recital, which looks like a mixture of blood and tears, caused another storm in the court at the end of Hongwu's thirty-first year.
Zhu Di wrote himself as a lonely and pitiful patient in the transcript, who was bent on his son coming home to see him off, and even voluntarily gave up the great father of the domain for the sake of family affection. There is another layer of meaning hidden in the book, I sent my son to Beijing for funeral, which is the filial piety that should be done as a son of man, but you, the newly enthroned son of heaven, are small-bellied, afraid that I will rebel and detain all my three sons.
It's obviously a pitiful and pleading book, but it's actually a naked provocation book!
What's more, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhu Di made dozens of copies of this recital, and sent fast horses to pass it on to the vassal kings who guarded all parts of the world.
The court shook, the vassal king shook, the world shook!
The Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, dozens of officials from the six departments gathered in the Golden Palace, and asked Zhu Yunwen to release the three Yan princes, so that the Yan kings were together, and the Qingliu people even mobilized, led by Huang Guan, pointed the finger at Xiao Fan, saying that he was separated from the heavenly family, and the crime was extremely evil, and asked the Son of Heaven to surrender.
The vassal kings from all over the country also handed over the notebook, saying that the Son of Heaven detained the son of King Yan was too ruthless, and the imperial uncles tried their best to guard the country for you, resist foreign humiliation, and govern the army and the people, but you were so ruthless in detaining the son of the imperial uncle, your own brother, how can such a move be called the son of the Holy Tomorrow? Now King Yan is forced to voluntarily give up his fiefdom in order to see his son, and his flesh and blood are separated, how miserable! What you did in this way chilled the hearts of the vassal kings of the world...... Of course, the vassal kings are not only interceding for Zhu Di and creating momentum for Zhu Di, they also have another layer of temptation.
Rumors were rampant, and the rumors that the imperial court wanted to cut the feudal domain had already spread all over the world, and the feudal kings were panicking, and now the contradictions and suspicions between the imperial court and the feudal king finally broke out directly through this matter.
- King Yan has now openly declared that he has voluntarily given up his fiefdom, do you Zhu Yunwen dare to agree? More than 20 imperial uncles in the world are staring at your reaction, it depends on what you do.
The matter can no longer be hidden, the clear stream in the court is like crazy, and the music book that asks for the death of the national thief Xiao Fan flew into the palace like snowflakes, and even the students of the national eunuch have mobilized, and they have petitioned in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, demanding the removal of the brocade guards and the severe punishment of the national thief.
Sudden changes, too late to react, in the face of the shouts of the Manchu Dynasty and even the whole world, the young Zhu Yunwen panicked.
He has only been on the throne for half a year, and he has never encountered such a tricky thing.
When the situation became more and more serious, Zhu Yunwen immediately announced that Xiao Fan had entered the palace to face the saint.
In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yunwen rubbed his hands helplessly, tears rolling in his eyes.
"What to do? What to do? Xiao Shiyu, what should I do? ”
Xiao Fan's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
The court is dangerous every step of the way, he has already experienced it, but now the sudden outbreak of this incident still caught him a little off guard, Zhu Di is amazing! A copy of the script put him in a desperate situation, and this move was a big trouble for Zhu Yunwen by retreating.
Let go of Zhu Di's three sons? Doesn't this indirectly tell the world that the court is indeed wrong to do this? He Xiao Fan is the culprit of this matter, and his crime is unforgivable.
Don't let them go? This shows the people of the world how unkind and rude the imperial court is, and if the name of the new emperor has not been changed, the people of the world will be lost, which will be even more unfavorable to the future counterinsurgency.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan's gloomy face and said tentatively: "Why don't you ...... Why don't you put the three sons of the Fourth Emperor Uncle back? It's not a problem to keep holding them like this, send them back to eat a little more of the grain that King Yan has hoarded, and we may be a little more sure of dealing with King Yan in the future......"
Xiao Fan looked at him speechlessly.
is really an innocent and innocent child, and it is really gratifying that your Fourth Emperor Uncle has an opponent like you......
