Xiao Rui showed a shocked expression: "Impossible! Not to that point! ”

How could Xiao Mingde openly refuse King Yan to be a matchmaker for his concubine? He would only keep signaling his son to accept his arrangement, otherwise he would go directly to King Yan and explain that he had other plans for Xiao Rui's marriage, wouldn't it be more neat?

It was precisely because he couldn't refuse that he planned to persuade his younger son to change his mind before King Yan entered Beijing. As long as Xiao Rui took the initiative to reject King Yan, he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter. As for whether the youngest son will offend anyone by refusing King Yan's kindness? Anyway, he didn't plan to let Xiao Rui continue to stay in the north, so how could he care about this?

Xiao Rui has been hiding from his family for the past few days, and it is because of this. He wanted to drag it until King Yan arrived in the capital, and he wanted to be a matchmaker for him, and things would be easy to do.

Refuse King Yan's big matchmaker, and find another matchmaker to facilitate the relationship with the Xie family? Xiao Rui never thought about it! King Yan has not only always taken good care of him, but also has the grace of knowing him, can he change the matter that he finally asked King Yan to agree to for his father's inexplicable thoughts? What's more, asking King Yan to come forward as a matchmaker is still his promise to Xie Pu. Xie Pu can ignore the difference between civil and military, as well as the background of his Xiao family's relatives, and promise to marry his daughter to him, and King Yan's big media definitely has a lot of weight! If this big media runs away, can Xie Pu be happy? This kind of stupid thing that is both harmful to others and not beneficial to himself, he will not do it!

Xiao Rui made all the concerns and determinations in his heart clear to Xie Mulin, and said repeatedly: "I will definitely convince my father!" It's not to take advantage of His Royal Highness King Yan to force his father to agree to something. Even if this approach is successful, it is easy to attract the complaints of the father. In the future, after you and I get married, although we may not stay in the general's mansion in the capital for a long time, there will always be times when we get along with my family, and I don't want them to be angry with you. Although my father was jealous of His Royal Highness King Yan, he didn't think so before, and now he will change his mind, there must be a reason. I will try to find out the reason for this, so that my father can untie the knot, and then the trouble will not be a problem again. ”

Xie Mulin stared at him, seeing that his expression was determined, and he obviously had confidence in himself. She sighed, "Well, since you're sure, let's try to do it." I'm waiting for your good news at home. But if you do get into any trouble, you don't have to hide it from me. This is a matter between you and me, if there is a difficulty, we will carry it together, there is no need for you to face everything alone. ”

Xiao Rui looked at Xie Mulin, his heart was sweet, and he only felt that he had the courage again: "Sister Mulin, don't worry, I will find a way to send you a letter." No matter how things turn out, they won't hide it from you. "The worst result is just Xiao Mingde's insistence on refusing King Yan to be a matchmaker, and his marriage cannot be decided before leaving Beijing. However, his father has not determined his life's events, and he has not even made up his mind about the specific object. He returned to Beijing to report on his work and reward, and now that the business has been completed, he has not yet decided on a new official position. He can completely use the hand of King Yan to allow himself to quickly set a military position in the north, and then return north with King Yan.

When he returns to the Northern Army, his boss will be a matchmaker or something, and he will write a letter home to report it. Xiao Mingde can't be so far away, and he must resolutely refuse the kindness of others, that is, he will openly slap the generals of the Northern Army in the face. At that time, he can get married in office, and the main marriage can invite the Yan Wang and his wife to come forward, and then take his wife and children back to Beijing to see his father and mother in a few years, can the father still drive his son out of the house?

Xiao Rui was even in the mood to laugh with Xie Mulin: "I really have to thank my mother and brother for discrediting my reputation all the time." In the eyes of outsiders, I have always been a useless waste, even if I have made meritorious contributions and been promoted, my family has never made a big announcement for me, and my grandmother even said a lot of bad things about me among relatives and friends. Therefore, the father's favorite family did not readily agree to the marriage, but had to see me first and make sure that I would treat their daughter well before they were willing to talk about it. As long as I can continue to avoid the occasions arranged by my father and mother-in-law, and do not clear my name, I can still return to the north safely! ”

This is also thanks to the old subordinates trusted by his father Xiao Mingde, who have passed the character test, and love their children more, and will not rashly accept the marriage, so they helped him. But then again, if it weren't for the family that was reliable and loved his daughter, Xiao Mingde wouldn't have taken a fancy to it, because he wanted to marry the concubine, hoping that the concubine could get the favor and love of the Yue family. If he can't do this, he can't even think about it.

As for her mother-in-law Lu, she could take the lead in deciding on family affairs without looking at each other, but without Xiao Mingde's nod, she couldn't be the master. And those girls she fancies, all of them have shortcomings, not even a serious character and a reliable family background, how could Xiao Mingde agree? is a good son, he is also angry, and he looks like he has a bright future, so he has no reason to find a girl to bury his son.

Xiao Rui was very confident about this, and Xie Mulin really didn't know what to say. Now she is disgusted, and she is really depressed. Although she knew that Xiao Mingde opposed marriage, not because she was bad, this feeling was still terrible.

She asked Xiao Rui: "Does the emperor plan to go to the Yanwang Mansion with the third prince?" Could it be that Ling Zun's opposition to King Yan being a matchmaker for you also has something to do with this matter? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head: "This is impossible, it doesn't make sense." His Royal Highness King Yan values me, what can hinder the future heir? Besides, the Third Highness himself is not happy to be passed on. These days, he has been secretly thinking about how to promote the fourth prince to become the heir as soon as possible, and for this reason, he is about to fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. His father persuaded him that it was best to obey the emperor's will, anyway, the Yan Wangfu was also powerful, and it was much better than staying in Beijing to be an idle prince. But His Royal Highness refused to listen, he only felt that he would lose if he was passed out, how could he be willing to become a loser in the battle for the storage position?! ”

Xie Mulin pouted: "Now that he knows that the marriage has been decided, he doesn't plan to struggle?" Wasn't he still trying to get rid of that Lan family girl before? I don't understand, the marriage is like this, and now the holy will clearly belongs to him to succeed, and even Ling Zun has warned him, hasn't he been alerted yet? He didn't see that the emperor was already dissatisfied with him?! ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "The emperor has scolded several princes a lot in recent years, and the third highness was scolded less than the crown prince and the second prince because he was favored earlier. Except for the four princes, he can be said to be the most favored one, how could he think of that? We, the others, reminded him, and he just thinks we're talking nonsense, right? As for the Lan family's family affairs, he didn't say anything for the time being, but listening to his tone, I don't seem to think that the day will really come when he marries the Lan family, and I don't know what bad he still holds in his heart. However, this is what the Lan family needs to worry about. ”

Xiao Rui has a mediocre view of the Lan family, and he used to have dealings with the younger brother of the Lan family, but the relationship was average. It's too late for him to hide from the three princes now, and he has no reason to get involved in other people's marriages.

Xie Mulin just wanted to spit out the three princes, and he didn't know anything about the Lan family. She was upset, looked at Xiao Rui, and suddenly remembered someone: "What did your aunt say?" She's quite detached in the General's Mansion, right? Ling Zun refused to agree to the marriage of His Royal Highness King Yan as a matchmaker, and your aunt didn't help persuade him? Isn't she on good terms with Yan Wangfu? ”

Xiao Rui paused: "Aunt said...... She had a way to get me out of it all, telling me not to worry about it. I don't know what she's going to do, but I ...... There's always something bad about it, I don't know why? So, I'd better figure it out on my own. ”
