Chapter 289: Trouble (1)
Tong Mingyu has been struggling with whether he should reveal some news to King Jing's Mansion. said that, I am afraid that King Jingfu will misunderstand his family and be in a hurry to marry his daughter; Don't say it, I'm afraid that King Jing's Mansion will feel that he doesn't pay too much attention to them.
When Tong Mingyu was in a dilemma, King Jing handed over the post and asked the old man and Xiao Jingkang to have tea together tomorrow.
"Huh" Tong Mingyu put down the big stone in his heart and began to think about tomorrow's affairs, Tong Mingyu, who married a daughter-in-law to his two sons, now deeply understands the difference between marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law.
Marrying a daughter-in-law is an import from the family, as long as all aspects are well prepared, the heart has always been beautiful. But marrying a daughter is different, the difference in mood is simply 108,000 miles apart, not to mention the gains and losses in the heart, the things to worry about are one after another, and people always have a heart.
"You, as long as you accompany the princess to tea tomorrow, the rest of the things are up to me and my father! I won't let our daughter suffer a little loss. Although Xiao Jingkang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he felt even more sorry for his wife, if his daughter really married into King Jing's Mansion, it would not be easy to meet again.
Tong Mingyu nodded slightly, she leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, tears welled up from her eyes, and a drop fell on Xiao Jingkang's shoulder.
It wasn't until he felt the wetness on his clothes that Xiao Jingkang knew that his wife was crying, and he stretched out his broad palm and gently stroked his wife's back. He wanted to cry bitterly to relieve his depression, but as a man, a husband, and the head of the family, he couldn't do that.
"Will the son of the world be well in peace in the future? If... I mean, if he falls in love with someone else in the future......" Tong Mingyu, who had been crying silently for a long time, muttered in a low voice.
"If that's the case, we'll bring Ping An back, and then hand over the Hou Mansion to Ah Yi, and take our daughter to the mountains and rivers." Where is Xiao Jingkang willing to let his daughter be wronged, he has already told King Jing's father and son about this.
Tong Mingyu wrapped her hands around her husband's waist, and the two of them snuggled tightly together, and they loved their children like all parents. The difference is that in other people's families, boys are more valued, but in their husbands and wives, they cherish their daughters more.
The next day, seeing that the time agreed with King Jing was approaching, Tong Mingyu sat in the car and looked anxiously at the door of his house, his father-in-law didn't know what happened today, he would wear the wrong boots for a while, and forget to take a horsewhip for a while.
He was reluctant to step out of the house, but in the end, the Qin family was anxious, and shouted loudly: "If you don't want to go, just send your subordinates to tell others, why embarrass yourself and delay other people's time!" ”
The old wife rarely loses her temper, it seems that she is really angry, and then looking at the helpless and speechless faces of the children and grandchildren around her, the old man gritted his teeth and led the horse and finally walked out of the door.
When their family arrived, King Jing and his wife were already sitting in the private room, and they were accompanied by General Yuan and his wife.
"I said my old in-laws, did you come from home?" The two pots of tea have already been eaten, and it is not the first time that I have been a matchmaker, I have seen the female elders who put the score, but it is the first time I have seen the woman who dares to play the score with King Jingfu.
Old Madam Yuan couldn't help but ridicule her in-laws.
Old man Xiao is not good at quarreling with his mother-in-law, so he stroked his gray beard and looked at King Jing, If you dislike me too late, I will turn my head and go home now.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, old man, Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, please take a seat." This progress has been much faster than he expected, and he has long guessed that the old man will not happily agree to the family affairs, and it is not in line with his character if he does not find something.
"I'm really sorry, there was something wrong when I went out, so I asked Lord Jing, the princess, and my uncle and aunt for forgiveness when I was late." Tong Mingyu hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, although this situation is not due to himself, but he can't help mentioning that the old man can be willful, but he doesn't dare to be careless for his daughter.
"You come and sit, let the men discuss it today, let's just drink tea and chat." Mrs. Yuan had a very good impression of Tong Mingyu, and she was also very grateful for her taking care of her daughter and granddaughter for so many years, she waved her hand at Tong Mingyu with a smile, and beckoned people to sit on the other side of her.
"Auntie, Mrs. Xiao and I are relatives, shouldn't we sit together and kiss each other!" Yin Qianhua saw that Tong Mingyu was a little unnatural, and hurriedly enlivened the atmosphere.
The women, knowing that they were here to sit in and beat the side drums, looked much more relaxed. After the men were all seated, King Jing stood up and personally poured tea for Old Man Xiao and Xiao Jingkang, where did Xiao Jingkang dare to let King Jing pour tea for himself, and hurriedly got up to stop it.
"There is no prince or princess here today, only a pair of parents who want to marry Miss Xiao for their son, plus the matchmaker invited." King Jing held Xiao Jingkang down and didn't let him move, he knew in his heart that if he didn't lower his posture and dispel the concerns of the Xiao family, the next thing would not be discussed.
"Lord Wang is really Corporal Lixian today!" Old man Xiao said sourly, in order to marry his daughter-in-law, this attitude is correct, don't look at what he says now, after he puts forward the conditions, it is the time to test their sincerity, and it is good not to turn his face when the time comes.
"In the future, the younger generations will do this to the Xiao family." King Jing said with a smile that this was not a difficult thing for him. Whether it is with Xiao Jingyan or the two girls of the Xiao family, they all get along very well, and what is so difficult about others.
"I'm not a person who likes to go around in circles, since you parents are interested in getting married, I won't make things difficult for Yun Boy."
You know you've been making things difficult for my son! It's really not easy, now I don't plan to make things difficult for my son, let's change it to a showdown with King Jing's Mansion! What else can I say, who will recognize Xiao Yao as a daughter-in-law! Listen up!
"I have a few things to say in the clear place, these conditions are not just because you Jingwangfu came to propose marriage, they were prepared from the beginning, no matter who Ping'an and whose family they are to the point of talking about marriage, I will mention these conditions."
"If the old man has any requirements, just mention them."
Old Man Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and saw King Jing's eyes staring at him tightly, and said secretly in his heart: This is in a hurry, I still want to brew for a while!
"If you have something to say, don't delay the lunch for a while, today there is tribute wine and Buddha jumping over the wall, whoever delays my meal, I am in a hurry." Old Madam Yuan glared at her in-laws, this old guy was stripped of his heart and wanted to find something to do, how could he let him get his wish!
Old Man Xiao looked at his mother-in-law resentfully, he couldn't let himself serve it for a while, it seems that the Yuan family is still close to King Jing's mansion!
"First, as the grandson-in-law of our Xiao family, you can't take a concubine, except for my granddaughter, no woman is allowed." Old Man Xiao's tone was resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
"I'm here to have a good time, I don't know if you're welcome or not." The door of the private room was opened, and Yun Aoyuan, dressed in a dragon-patterned robe, walked in from the outside, he was dragged out of the palace by his nephew and pushed here.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Mrs. Yuan didn't expect her niece to invite the emperor, in order to marry the child of Ping'an, King Jing's Mansion really made a lot of money.
A group of people stood up and gathered around to greet the emperor, and the old man Xiao also put away his thoughts about embarrassing King Jing's mansion, it was obvious that the emperor was coming for himself, King Jing's trick was ruthless enough.
"I heard Xiao Aiqing talking outside the door, you can continue to talk, just when I am an ordinary guest, how to discuss and how to discuss." As soon as this stubborn old man came up, he didn't allow his nephew to take a concubine, didn't he know that King Jing's Mansion was not rich in heirs and needed to spread out his leaves? Your granddaughter is so big, when will you be able to let Ah Chen be her father, this kind of idea of just thinking about himself and not considering others is resolutely unacceptable.
"The minister said that if you want to marry my granddaughter, you are not allowed to take a concubine." Old Man Xiao pressed the anxiety in his heart, closed his eyes and said with the emperor's obviously displeased eyes.
Maybe because of this sentence, he will make the emperor unhappy, or maybe King Jing's Mansion will regret it because of this. But Old Man Xiao didn't regret what he said, if he watched his granddaughter juggle between her husband and a group of women every day, he would rather her granddaughter stay at home for the rest of her life.
"Is Marquis Xiao the same opinion?" The emperor played with the tea cup in his hand, and he wanted to see how resolute the attitude of the Xiao family was on this issue.
"If you go back to the emperor, the daughter of the minister has been pampered since she was a child, and if she marries into a family with a group of concubines, she will not be able to survive at all, so the first condition for our family to choose a son-in-law is that we must not accept concubines." Xiao Jingkang walked to the emperor and knelt down, he didn't expect the emperor to come suddenly, let alone that his daughter's lifelong happiness would be ruined because of such a condition.
But he doesn't regret the decision he made, even if his daughter can't marry Yun Yichen because of this, he won't use this as a quid pro quo, because he is sure that his daughter will also approve of his and her father's choice.
"Where's Mrs. Xiao!"
Yin Qianhua and Mrs. Yuan looked at Tong Mingyu a little nervously, afraid that she would make the emperor unhappy, with their understanding of Tong Mingyu and the Xiao family, the answer should be the same as that of the two men.
"The courtier's wife is just a woman in the house, and she doesn't understand other big truths, but she only knows that if her husband is the only one in his heart, she will be willing to eat bran with him. If he still has a concubine, I can't treat him wholeheartedly.
Xiao Yao is my daughter, I understand her temperament, even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, she won't be willing to share her husband with others.
With the identity and status of the prince, you can indeed have more and better women, it is originally our Xiao family's Gao Panjing Palace, so don't mention this matter again! Tong Mingyu knelt next to her husband, and the husband and wife looked at each other silently and smiled, only giving each other a supportive look, and did not say a superfluous word.
Xiao Jingkang and his wife used their own actions to explain what it means to be one husband and wife, and what it means to be close to each other. How could a child from such a family be willing to marry a man with a group of concubines!
