Chapter 421: Calling the Shots for Your Concubines
The man smiled at Fang Jinyan's back and said, "I thought you remembered, but it turned out that you still forgot." ”
Fang Jinyan thought about it, suddenly remembered, turned to look at the man who was still standing still, and said in surprise: "You are the man who was in Xiangguo Temple that day?" ”
The man smiled, stepped forward, took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Fang Jinyan, and said, "It seems that your nose is better than your eyes, this is for you, maybe you will remember me." After speaking, ignoring Fang Jinyan and striding forward.
Fang Jinyan noticed that the man gave him a flute, Fang Jinyan thought about it, suddenly smiled, shook his head, and saw that the flute was handed over to the housekeeper's mother, and said, "Please also ask my mother to return such a thing to the second young master." ”
The housekeeper's mother looked frightened, didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, and muttered, "The slave just leads the way, don't care about this." ”
Fang Jinyan had no choice but to put the flute into his sleeve and muttered, "But don't let his future wife see it, it won't be clear when the time comes." ”
The backyard lobby was still separated from the inside and outside by a veil, Fang Jinyan and the other four people of the Fang family knelt at the front in turn, and the others had been sitting on chairs as before, this time it was different, there was also a table, and melons, fruits and snacks were also placed on the table.
"Grandpa Sun, is there a result on Qin Tianjian's side?" Leng Yi asked.
Sun Qi stepped forward and bowed down and said, "It's all waiting outside." ”
The official of Qin Tianjian stepped forward and knelt down through the veil to salute, and then said: "Empress Dowager, Fang Caichen has already matched these two eight characters with the eight characters of the second young master of the Wang family, which is really a coincidence. It's all suitable. ”
The people present couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief for themselves, it seemed that this time the Fang family was going to have a daughter to marry into the Wang family anyway.
"The Empress Dowager. Please let Concubine Rong say the last word. When Dong Yuexi heard this, her brain buzzed, you must be sober at this time, you can't mess up, if you mess up, you will fall into the trap of Fang Jinyan's girl.
"Haha, Mrs. Fang, you don't have to say anything. Before, the mourning family still doubted your intentions, but now the mourning family knows that your Fang family is really loyal, since both are suitable. Naturally, we have to ask Lord Wang for his opinion, after all, this is a matter for the two of you. ”
Dong Yuexi was frightened and said: "The concubines obey the arrangements of the Empress Dowager, but there is one thing that the concubines do not know. That's who sent these two characters to the Queen Mother's table. The concubine knew that the Empress Dowager was most disgusted with someone doing some dirty things that were dark about the plank road, and hoped that the Empress Dowager would investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Hua Rui glanced at the emperor, and the emperor said: "This is naturally to be investigated, even if your Fang family and the Wang family become in-laws in the future, it is necessary to return your Fang family to a clean house, so as not to let outsiders say that your Fang family's people do some unsightly things in private, besides, your husband is still my teacher." ”
Dong Yuexi heard this. Only then did I understand that not only the Empress Dowager was here, but the Emperor was also here. It seems that the previous legend of this choice of relatives, the Wang family is a disguise, and the palace chose the position of the palace is still true, I didn't expect such a good opportunity to ruin Fang Jinyan, thinking of this, Dong Yuexi couldn't wait to step forward and strangle Fang Jinyan to death.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone behind Dong Yuexi also heard the voice behind the veil, and they all knelt down in unison to salute.
The emperor smiled and said, "Let's be even, I'm just here to join in the fun, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Please also ask the emperor to make decisions for the concubines." Dong Yuexi said.
"Then Mrs. Fang said, how should I make decisions for you?"
Dong Yuexi glanced at Fang Jinyan, and then calmly said to the veil: "Can you let the concubine take a look at those two notes with the eight characters of my two daughters written on them?" ”
Sun Qi looked at the emperor, the emperor nodded, Sun Qi motioned the note to the little eunuch on the side to take it to Dong Yuexi to see, Dong Yuexi looked at it, and suddenly smiled coldly at Fang Jinyan, and then said: "The handwriting on this note is recognized by the concubine." ”
"Oh? Tell me, whose handwriting is this? The emperor said.
"It's the third lady of our Fang family." Dong Yuexi looked at Fang Jinyan proudly, but Fang Jinyan was expressionless and didn't react at all.
"Haha...... Do you think it's your family's choice of relatives today? Why is today's matter all related to the Fang family? The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have also seen it, and it is true that my cheap concubine did it." Fang Ziqing said.
"Could it be that I simply called everyone in your Fang family to come over." The emperor smiled.
"The concubine also asked the emperor to send someone to invite the third lady Situ Duruo for questioning, so she knew everything."
The emperor glanced at Leng Yi, and saw that Leng Yi was also solemn, just like Fang Jinyan outside, the biggest advantage of this veil is that the outside can't see the inside, but the inside is to see the people outside clearly, even their expressions.
"Well, since that's the case, I really want to meet this third lady."
"Slow!" Suddenly, a voice from outside came to the veil with a crisp and loud voice.
The emperor looked at it, it was Fang Jinyan.
"Fang Jinyan, what do you have to say?"
Fang Jinyan said: "I don't need to invite my mother over, my mother has been in poor health now, Jinyan admits that I asked my mother to write this note to me." ”
There was an uproar in the crowd.
The emperor smiled and said, "Then you mean that you put the note on the table of the Empress Dowager?" ”
Hua Rui said in a low voice: "Heng'er, be serious, what kind of body will you become." ”
Leng Yi said: "The minister thinks that the emperor has done a good job. ”
Hua Rui was helpless, so she had to shake her head and said, "It's up to you, the mourning family is too lazy to take care of it." ”
"Jin Yan admitted that I asked my mother to write the note, but it was not Jin Yan who sent the note to the book case of the Empress Dowager, because from the moment I entered the door, the housekeeper's mother followed, and the housekeeper's mother could testify for me, and Miss Lu and Miss Zhang could testify for Jinyan."
"What's so hard about that? Can you ask someone else to send this thing over? Dong Yuexi said.
Fang Jinyan smiled at Dong Yue and said, "Mother, how can you say this about your daughter?" It's all your daughters. Although you have always disliked Jinyan, you sent Jinyan to Hangzhou, thousands of miles away, and did not let Jinyan see his mother. Now that Jin Yan is back, you don't see Jin Yan well everywhere, Jin Yan was forced to go to the Leng family, and they all said that I was the daughter of the Fang family, but who had seen my Jin Yan stay in the Fang family for a few years? ”
Dong Yuexi didn't expect Fang Jinyan to be unable to get off the stage in front of so many people, and she was annoyed, but she didn't dare to say it clearly, so she had to lower her voice. Pretending to be aggrieved, he said, "What do you see this kid you are talking about? With so many people, it's really bad to say that these people in the family are really bad. ”
"But you said that I asked someone else to send things to the Empress Dowager's table, and it was only half a year since Jinyan returned to the capital. Where is there anyone you know, who has been serving her mother, and then she is recuperating in the cold family, if you know. I might as well identify the person who delivered the letter for me in front of the Queen Mother. ”
"You...... If only I had known. How could it be ......"
"Okay, don't say it, since Fang Jinyan has already admitted that the note was written by her mother, then I want to know what you asked your mother to write this note for?"
"If Jin Yan returned to the emperor, Jin Yan only knew some things yesterday, in order to prevent something from implicating our Fang family in the future, so I asked my mother to write the eight characters of the school-age woman in the family to me. I just want to find someone to take a look, because only after seeing Jinyan's heart is quite steady. ”
The emperor said: "Fang Jinyan." What do you mean by that? What does it mean to know something? Are these things related to the royal family's choice of relatives today? Then why don't you let others also count your eight characters by the way, why don't you go to the scene, there is no your eight characters, but only the eight characters of your two sisters. ”
Fang Jinyan said: "Jinyan's eight characters have been approved by my mother many years ago, saying that my eight characters are very hard, and I can't marry into the noble family of Wang Sun, I can only marry into ordinary people's families, so it doesn't matter whether my eight characters are counted or not, because even if the Wang family falls in love with me, they will still give up on me when the two families merge in the end." ”
The emperor said: "Mrs. Fang, is there really such a thing? ”
Dong Yuexi didn't expect that Fang Jinyan would say this matter in front of everyone without hesitation, she originally found a random reason to send her away, and said to the outside that this person was unknown, but she didn't expect that today would be a reason, and it would be so high-sounding.
"Yes...... Yes. Dong Yuexi was a little lacking in confidence, and lowered her head and whispered.
Although Hua Rui had closed his eyes, he didn't fall asleep, and when he heard this, he said: "In the end, it's not your own life, how can you be worthy of the Fang family's original match, it's really ...... It's right to find a new teacher for the emperor, the small family is not well managed, and there is already a face to take care of everyone? ”
When Fang Ziqing heard this, his legs suddenly became weak, and he sat on the ground, sweating like rain.
The emperor said: "This is also true, then some of the things you said you know are related to today?" ”
Fang Jinyan seemed to hesitate, and said hesitantly: "All this is Jinyan's bad, please don't blame my father and mother, everything is borne by my Jinyan alone, and it has nothing to do with them, but don't take the opportunity to marry my two to the Wang family." ”
The emperor seemed to be angry, and shouted: "Fang Jinyan, you are so bold!" I still need you to dictate to do things, I really want to know why you don't let your two sisters marry into the Wang family, I don't believe that you really feel sorry for your two sisters, I think there must be something strange here, don't hurry up, otherwise I will not only spare you, but even the people of your Fang family will not let go, by the way, and your mother! ”
Fang Jinyan's body trembled, and said: "It's not that Jinyan doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it, and ask the emperor to kill Jinyan and spare the rest of the Fang family." ”
At this time, a woman not far away stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am Lu Yuening, please Rong Yuening say a few words." ”
The emperor looked at the woman, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Your father is Lu Duan, the secretary of Dali Temple?" ”
Lu Yuening stood up straight and looked ahead, although she couldn't see the people inside, she didn't have the slightest fear, and Zhang Lian'er on the side was already scared.
"It's Yue Ning's father."
"Okay, you come forward and speak." (To be continued......)
