Chapter 247: Rejection
With Old Man Xiao's gratitude, and with the satisfaction of seeing his sweetheart and eating and drinking enough, Yun Yichen went back to the palace satisfied. He not only sent secret guards to guard around the Xiao family, but also specially sent people to keep an eye on the Xie family's brothers and sisters, in case they didn't give up, they could take measures in time.
The next day, Xie Zhuoliang went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong with more than a dozen gifts, and met Xiao Jingkang on the way.
The person in front of him turned out to be the father of the little beauty, Xie Zhuoliang turned over and dismounted, and stopped Xiao Jingkang, who didn't know what was going on and was confused, and planned to contact his feelings and pat his ass.
"Our prince is in the teahouse in front of us, and I want to invite the two of you to come over for a cup of tea." A person suddenly walked out of the crowd, dressed in the costume of a guard of King Jing's Mansion, and respectfully and politely extended invitations to Xiao Jingkang and Xie Zhuoliang.
Xiao Jingkang confirmed again that he really didn't know the young man opposite, and followed the guard to the teahouse with doubts.
"Aren't you going to stay and say hello to your future father-in-law?" King Jing saw that his son was about to turn into the private room next door through the secret door, and couldn't help but tease, this kid exuded joy all over his body after returning from the Xiao family, I don't know if he thought he had been approved by the Yue family!
When I asked, I knew that I just said a few words to the little girl alone, and after eating the dishes made by others, it was so beautiful that I couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, it was too unproductive, and it was too embarrassing for the palace, how could the wise and brave Jing Wangye have such a stupid son!
"You entertain first, I will definitely have a chance in the future." Yun Yichen has been laughed at by his family several times in the past two days, and it has become indifferent, a man is too thin-skinned to get a daughter-in-law.
"Xiao Jingkang has seen King Jing." Xiao Jingkang greeted King Jing with courtesy, this is a common feature of the Xiao family, no matter how familiar they are in private, outsiders will come according to the rules. What's more, there is no intersection between King Jing and Xiao Jingkang, King Jing likes to meet friends, drink tea, and talk about poetry and painting in his spare time; Xiao Jingkang likes to collect all kinds of precious wood and flowers, and likes to walk around when he has nothing to do.
"Xie Zhuoliang has seen King Jing." Xie Zhuoliang wanted to leave a good impression on Xiao Jingkang and lay the groundwork for the next plan, he secretly looked at Xiao Jingkang and felt that he was very ordinary, how could he give birth to such an outstanding little beauty! Maybe the beauty follows her mother, and she will have a mother-in-law who still has charm.
"This king is drinking tea here, and I see two people walking in the same direction, so I take the liberty of inviting you to come and have a drink." King Jing glanced at Xie Zhuoliang lightly, he had already stated that he was going to stand on the side of the Xiao family, he actually dared to swagger through the market and swagger to the Xiao family to find trouble, and he didn't take himself, King Jing, as a matter at all.
"This is ......" Is the Xiao family familiar with him? At first glance, he is a drunkard, and I don't know what he wants to do when he goes to his own house? Xiao Jingkang wondered.
"Let me introduce myself below, I am the son of the city lord of Xuancheng, the next successor, I have been attracted to her since I met the eldest lady in your family, and today I want to go to the door and meet the elders." Xie Zhuoliang tried his best to speak in a crepe, he knew that older elders like to be humble and gentlemen, as long as such a man is trustworthy.
"When have you seen my daughter?" Xiao Jingkang stared at Xie Zhuoliang with a pair of eyes, what was going on, when did it happen, he had never heard his daughter mention it.
"Just a few days ago, in the palace garden." Xie Zhuoliang ignored Xiao Jingkang's hostility, and a light sentence contained a lot of information in it.
"Lord Xiao doesn't need to panic, nothing happened in the other garden." King Jing still thinks it's more appropriate to call him like this, Xiao Shizi can't be called, he also has a daughter, he can understand Xiao Jingkang's mood of being vigilant at all times, not to mention that Xiao Yao is too outstanding, and if he is the Xiao family, he will be careful everywhere and be on guard every day.
"So my daughter came back early that day, and it wasn't just a small accident as she said, what is going on, please let the prince know." Xiao Jingkang asked King Jing about what happened, and he didn't want to deal with Xie Zhuoliang at all.
"Xie was at the scene at the time, why didn't Lord Xiao ask."
"Xiao and Gongzi Xie are meeting for the first time today, why are you embarrassed to trouble you!" Xiao Jingkang thought that this surname Xie was so positive, it can be seen that he didn't have any good intentions. It seems that he was right to ignore him.
"The two of you didn't see the picture of the prince hugging Miss Xiao that day, tsk, it's really imaginative, Xie Mou thought you two had a marriage contract at first!"
Xiao Jingkang and King Jing were surprised at this moment, the two of them deeply realized what it was like to be dumbfounded, the news was too exciting, and people couldn't accept it for a while.
Yun Yichen next door secretly scolded "damn it", this Xie Zhuoliang is a villain, he wants to make the little girl's father hate him, so that the Xiao family will be wary of himself from now on, this trick is really damaging enough.
"Gongzi Xie's words need to be studied, but when my princess came back, she said that you scared the little girl a lot, and the reason why Miss Xiao left early was because of you, Gongzi!" wants to destroy the relationship between the two families and discredit his son, King Jing will unceremoniously expose his old background, and always let Xiao Jingkang know what kind of talent he is.
"The next time I saw Miss Xiao, I was shocked, although her behavior was reckless, but she had no malice, today I went to the house to make amends and propose marriage." Xie Zhuoliang has the courage to take responsibility and change his mistakes.
Xiao Jingkang also recovered from the shock at this moment, he comprehensively analyzed the words of King Jing and Xie Zhuoliang, and gradually sorted out the clue, it must be the beauty of this coveted daughter surnamed Xie who did something shameful.
Yun Yichen has never gossiped about women in Kyoto, and he is a person who is clean and self-disciplined.
Compared with the two, Xiao Jingkang chose to believe Yun Yichen without hesitation, as for the fact that he hugged his daughter, after returning home, he deceived Xiao Yu, and coaxed Xiao Yuan to come to light.
"Propose? To whom to propose? Xiao Jingkang asked like a gossip, in fact, he was already angry in his heart, and he hadn't heard of a man who came to the door with a few boxes of gifts to propose marriage. Fortunately, King Jing sent someone to stop him, but fortunately, it was himself who encountered this matter today and not the grumpy old man, otherwise he really couldn't predict what the consequences would be!
"Of course, for myself, Xie wants to marry the eldest lady of the Xiao family."
"Hasn't Gongzi Xie married yet? It's not like that! Seeing that Gongzi Xie is a young and promising person with extraordinary instruments, how could he not get married until now! Xiao Jingkang asked with a smile, his tone full of concern. But the implicit meaning in the words can only be seen by the benevolent, and the wise can see the wise.
"I am a fair and honest person, I don't lie and deceive, I do have a wife and children at home, but this does not prevent me from liking Miss Xiao! And I promise to love her, take care of her, and let her be the most favored person in my yard. Xie Zhuoliang swore that it was difficult to be unfavored with the appearance of a little beauty, as long as she knew and knew what she was interested in, which man would be willing to snub her.
"Why does Gongzi Xie think that we will give away the concubine of the family as a concubine, I can tell you now that this is impossible, I think you are a guest from afar, Xiao Mou should not have heard you say this, please don't mention it again in the future."
And my father is very old, and he loves his granddaughter the most, this matter must not let his old man hear the news, if his old man is sick because of this, the person who causes him to get sick will be the biggest enemy of the Xiao family from now on. ”
"I don't want to bother the old man, as long as Lord Xiao is willing to seriously consider my suggestion, whatever conditions you want, except for a name, I will try my best to meet it."
"Gongzi Xie doesn't have to waste time here with Xiaonu and Xiao's family, not to mention that there is a gap between you and Xiaonu in terms of family and age, even if you don't mention these, just because Xuancheng is far away from Kyoto, our family will definitely agree. The little girl will soon be married, and if Xie Gongzi is interested, he can stay and drink a glass of thin wine. ”
"Marriage, what kind of family background is the other party, and what can it bring to your Xiao family and Miss Xiao."
"Our Xiao family only cares about two points when choosing a son-in-law, the man must be good to my daughter wholeheartedly, and he is willing to join the Xiao family, no matter how good the other party is, we will not consider it if we can't meet these two conditions."
King Jing's father and son listened to Xiao Jingkang's conditions and muttered in their hearts, let the prince and the king of the county be sons-in-law? Not to mention that the two royal palaces will not agree, even the emperor will never nod. I don't know if the Xiao family has been planning for so long, and when the last granddaughter marries into the Jingwang Mansion, and a granddaughter marries into the Lingnan Palace, the old man will be stunned.
Although King Jing and Yun Yichen firmly believed that Xiao Yao would definitely enter their own door in the end, they also had a hunch that this road was not easy to follow, so they hurriedly sent Xie Zhuoliang to solve the grandson-in-law candidate selected by the old man. It seems that this time the mistress of the palace needs to go to the Yuan family in person, and the father and son thought to themselves that there is nothing more laborious than marrying their granddaughter of the Xiao family, it is really a hurdle every step, thorns everywhere, it is too difficult!
"Lord Xiao doesn't care about the emperor's thoughts and intentions? As long as you nod your head, you will bring countless benefits to the Xiao family and the men in the family, don't you care about this? ”
"If the emperor agrees, Gongzi Xie will not appear near Xiao's house today! As for the benefits, our family has no shortage of food and clothing, there is really nothing to want, boys want fame and work their own is the right way, and it is not something that the descendants of my Xiao family can do if they want to exchange their sisters for a future.
Xie Gongzi doesn't have to say it anymore, what I mean is the meaning of all the Xiao family, Xiao still has something, I will not accompany you, thank you King Jing for your tea, another day Xiao will invite you to drink, and I will take the first step today. ”
After clasping his fists and saluting, Xiao Jingkang walked out of the private room without looking back, he is now like an arrow, he just wants to find out about his daughter's affairs in the other garden, how can he bother to pay attention to the surname Xie!
