Chapter 34: Negotiation (4)
Fang Yufu is very disappointed in his eldest granddaughter, since the marriage is irretrievable, let's change it to Qinghe, a brainless person will never live a long life as an ordinary and intelligent person, it seems that he can only break his promise to his eldest son.
"Let Qinghe marry the eldest son of the long house."
"Grandfather, how can you change your mind, when you were in Xuzhou, you promised my parents to let me marry into the Xiao family." Fang Qinglian never dreamed that her grandfather would give up on herself at this time.
"Father is wise." The man on the side came back to his senses after being stabbed in the waist by his wife, and the good news that fell from the sky made him completely unprepared and didn't know what to do, so he could only reply with four words dryly.
"Master......" Mrs. Fang still remembers patting her chest when she came, promising that she would definitely let her eldest granddaughter marry into Kyoto. The master's sudden change of mind also caught her off guard.
"Mother, maybe Qinglian met someone, something, and has other plans, maybe she can't say!" The daughter-in-law intended to give her mother-in-law a reminder, and half of the words were left behind.
At this moment, she is not afraid that her father-in-law will be angry, what is more important than her daughter's marriage, her niece's thoughts are all written on her face, only her in-laws have always believed her excuses and lies.
While pondering the meaning of her daughter-in-law's words, Mrs. Fang recalled the people and things her granddaughter had encountered, and her brain, which had been shocked by her husband's decision, was temporarily blank, and she suddenly remembered a scene, and blurted out happily, "Could it be the ...... I just met?" At the last moment, when she regained her senses, she hurriedly swallowed the only word that had not yet been spit out, but unfortunately it was too late.
The Xiao family listened to her words clearly, and the unspoken parts could connect the meaning of the whole sentence as long as they were slightly associated.
Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Jingmin, as insiders, gave Mrs. Fang a good call in their hearts, so that things would be much easier.
"Steward Feng, come in." Xiao Jingtai's reaction was one step faster, and the opportunity was rare and must not be missed.
Steward Feng entered the door, looking like he had something to do, but who was still in the mood to listen to him now.
"Did this Miss Fang see anyone outside our gate just now?" Xiao Jingtai asked.
"I saw the fourth master and the eldest lady at the door." Steward Feng heard the whole thing and replied crisply.
"Hello, first hit my grandson's idea, and then I thought about my granddaughter, and now I actually hit my son's head, shouldn't I let you choose all the people in my family who are not married!"
General Xiao laughed angrily, he had seen shameless people, but he had never seen people whose whole family was so shameless. Just as I wanted to continue a few more sarcastic words, I heard someone outside the door shouting loudly, "Mother, mother, mother, wake up, come quickly." ”
The Xiao family in the living room rushed out as the words outside fell.
Outside the door, the Qin family snuggled in Xiao Jingyan's arms with his eyes closed, his face was ugly, and he didn't move.
Xiao Jingyan saw his father and three brothers coming out, and hurriedly said, "My mother fainted." ”
Those who have long eyes have seen it, do you need to say it?
"Why is your mother here?" General Xiao asked his men to ask for a doctor, and he didn't forget to ask.
"My mother said that I don't worry, I'm afraid that you will quarrel, so I have to come over to take a look, so I have to accompany me." Xiao Jingyan, who didn't know anything about the whole thing, didn't expect that the matter handled by his father and brother was so important, and he didn't expect his mother's reaction to be so big.
He didn't even think that the reason why the Qin family fainted was because the surnamed Fang actually hit the head of his beloved youngest son, and his heart was passive, who could be indifferent, just look at the reactions of General Xiao and Xiao Jingkang. So Qin's fainting was completely reasonable, on the contrary, it would be strange if he didn't faint.
If you want to say how the Qin family came to the living room, you have to start from the morning, General Xiao was afraid that his old wife would be embarrassed by this matter, so he made up his mind not to let her know, the main task of the three daughters-in-law today is to accompany her mother-in-law, and everything went very smoothly.
Xiao Jingyan took his little niece back to the study from the gate and educated her, and saw that the little niece understood well.
He was very satisfied with the result, and went to Ninghetang again.
When several sisters-in-law saw that the uncle was coming, they asked him to accompany his mother-in-law well, so they went their own way, Xiao Yao followed the third aunt to Yiyuan to find Xiao Yuan, and she would avoid it when her grandmother and the fourth uncle were together.
Who knows, things are getting more and more chaotic.
Tong Mingyu and the three of them thought that the uncle didn't know about this matter and had nothing to do with the Fang family, so they entrusted their mother-in-law to him with confidence, and they didn't leave a word of advice.
How could I have thought that things would be so coincidental, Xiao Jingyan had just met the Fang family, and he had a grudge in his heart, so he brought it up while chatting with his mother.
When the Qin family heard that Fang Yufu had arrived, he took his son to accompany him to the living room, and before he could hear a few words, the Qin family was so angry that he fainted.
After the doctor came, everyone had already sent the Qin family to the backyard.
Fang Yufu wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was stopped by Xiao Jingkang, who had been staring at him for a long time.
It's come to this point, there must be a result today, especially since the Qin clan fainted because of this, how can the new hatred and old hatred be put together and let people go easily!
Xiao Jingkang was worried about his mother's body, so he told Steward Feng to call him carefully, and after explaining the matter, he turned around and quickly caught up with the person in front of him.
"Fang Yuanwailang, please."
Steward Feng "invited" everyone back to the living room and closed the door casually.
"Why do you lock us up, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is the place where the king's law is preached, and if we don't let it go, be careful to sue you and your master after we go out."
"What does Steward Feng want to do, please tell me directly." Fang Yufu didn't care about his wife, and finding a way to leave was the top priority.
"Fang Yuanwailang should be able to think about what our general and uncle want." Steward Feng is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Are you really not talking about kinship at all?" Fang Yufu said in a dying struggle. Today, I really lost my wife and lost my soldiers, and I didn't get any benefits, not to mention, and the marriage contract was about to be ruined.
"Is Fang Yuanwailang joking? Your family has done such a thing, how is the marriage contract going to go on?
Now you can write a document to dissolve the marriage, As long as our wife is not in danger, from now on our two families will have nothing to do with each other, you can cling to your magnate as you like, and we can live our lives in peace, wouldn't that be great? ”
"No, I don't agree, why should you break the marriage contract, is it that your Xiao family is now prosperous, and you don't recognize us poor relatives, and you are not afraid that I will spread it, I ......" Mrs. Fang is willing to make a fuss and return empty-handed! But before the threatening words could be finished, she was interrupted by her husband.
"Okay, I'll write." Fang Yufu knew that if he didn't write something, the Xiao family would never let the family leave easily.
"Master, you can't write."
"Grandfather."
Fang Yufu no longer paid attention to everyone, and wrote the next document in one go. Steward Feng picked it up and carefully inspected it twice, and the other party Yufu said, "Fang Yuanwailang, please change this place to no one in the Fang family from now on to mention this matter again, if there is a violation, you will bear the consequences." ”
"You ......" Fang Yufu's words are indeed a little ambiguous, but who is Steward Feng, who is a person who has been dealing with general affairs for half his life, and he is very familiar with things such as contracts and documents, how could he let him take advantage of the loophole!
According to Steward Feng's request, Fang Yufu reluctantly changed the inappropriate words, copied two more copies, handed over one to Steward Feng, and kept one for himself. After planning for many years, it was all in vain, Fang Yufu walked out stupidly, he was really happy to come, and he returned in defeat.
Mrs. Fang followed behind with empty steps, unable to understand how things had become like this all of a sudden, and she didn't feel that it was her gaffe at all.
The faces of the remaining few people were gloomy, and the people in Xuzhou knew that they were in-laws with the General's Mansion, so how would they explain it when they went back!
Steward Feng handed over the document of dissolution of the marriage contract to General Xiao, who in turn handed it over to Tong Mingyu for safekeeping.
The Xiao family would not have thought that this matter, which had already been settled for them, would bring them a lot of troubles and troubles in a few years.
This is something they didn't expect now.
