162- Mr. and Mrs. Fox
Yinxiang had only heard that Marhan was sleek and tight, and even Yinzhen was unwilling to provoke him easily, so he had a lot of precautions against him since he entered the door, and this son would experience it firsthand, and Yinxiang really knew the hatefulness of this guy. But Yinxiang still smiled patiently and asked, "Fourteenth elder brother came here yesterday?" ”
Yinxiang didn't even make a bend, so he asked a straight question, but Marhan was a little overwhelmed. He is a veteran of officialdom for many years, and what he is best at is playing Tai Chi with his colleagues, and now he is facing the question coldly, Malhan did not dare to answer for a while, but asked by the way: "What is it ...... the thirteenth elder brother to ask about this?" ”
"It's a matter of Niansheng's safety, and it will inevitably affect the house, so please tell the truth to Lord Marhan." Yinxiang said sincerely, hoping that Marhan would not have too many concerns.
Marhan smiled slightly when he heard this, he had heard a lot of alarmist words, but like Yinxiang, he couldn't even do the least trickery, and it was the first time he had seen it. Marhan had basically concluded that Yinxiang was here to bluff him, so he didn't take him seriously in his heart, and said casually: "Thirteenth elder brother, what you said is so serious, what you know is that you think you are ...... because you are worried about my daughter And the little girl has not yet come out of the cabinet, she is still surnamed Zhaojia. As he spoke, he knocked his fingers on the edge of the table twice.
Seeing that Marhan looked indifferent, Yinxiang couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he still endured it, "My lord, Yinxiang didn't come today to ask Yinyu what he had done when he came, but to tell you that the emperor already knew about it." ”
When Marhan heard the word "emperor", his heart tightened violently, but according to his city government, Yinxiang would never let Yinxiang see the slightest inappropriateness, and still said with a haha: "It turns out that the thirteenth elder brother asked about the fourteenth elder brother who came to my house to visit the little girl yesterday?" The little girl has already told the old man about this, although it is a little inappropriate, but after all, they are also friends of the same age, which is also ......"
"The emperor doesn't know what they said and done, the emperor only knows that Yinyu looked panicked when he left, and Ling Yan was injured on his face." Yinxiang heard the contempt in Marhan's words, so he simply explained to him once, "What do you think the emperor will think?" Yinxiang's words already revealed a trace of coldness.
Marhan couldn't help frowning slightly, no need for Yinxiang to say more, his thoughts had already diverged in the direction of the emperor's habit of thinking about problems. After a while, Malhan came to the conclusion that if the emperor had the intention to use this matter to do anything, then he really didn't seem to have much room for maneuver. And now Yinxiang suddenly came to the door and said this, "The thirteenth master has seen the emperor? Malhan asked subconsciously.
Yinxiang looked at Marhan directly, "Not only have I seen it, but I have also spoken." ”
What did you say? Malhan almost blurted out a question, but he knew that he couldn't leak his worries too early, so he reluctantly froze, and said instead: "The old man didn't understand what the thirteenth master said, since the emperor knew that the fourteenth elder brother came to my mansion, then what did you do when you went to see the emperor?" "This is to force Yinxiang to show his hole cards first.
Yinxiang and Marhan came and went for a while, and I felt that if it weren't for the sake of reading, I dared to fight with this old fox, suppressed the anger in my heart, and finally told me a rough idea of the conversation between myself and the emperor.
This time Marhan was really dumbfounded, he knew that the companion was like a tiger, and he also knew that the emperor who had always been benevolent and generous was on the side of cold-blooded and hot hands, he just never thought that he was wise and cautious for so many years, and in the end when he encountered this kind of thing, the emperor actually pushed his daughter out without hesitation, and never took into account his dedication and conscientious allegiance for many years.
Malhan's heart was difficult to sort out for a while, but he still refused to give up the last "life-saving straw" in his hand, "In fact, if the little girl marries the fourteenth elder brother, won't all this be solved?" ”
Yinxiang sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel that Marhan was too shrewd, and he really didn't know if he really didn't understand what he said just now, or if he didn't understand it, "If the old man of Huang Amata really wants me to marry the daughter of the monk to be a concubine, you may still be able to go this way." But now that the emperor has said that, do you think you can still leave this way of life for you to go? ”
Yinxiang listened to every word that Marhan said, he just didn't care about so many details for a while, since he had said this step, he only had to further confirm Yinxiang at the moment, "So what does the emperor mean is that only the little girl and the daughter of the monk family can escape this catastrophe if they marry you at the same time as a side blessing?" ”
"Huang Ama didn't say that either." This time it was Yinxiang's turn to pick up the shelf, and he picked up the teacup at hand.
Marhan understood that it was his words just now that made Yinxiang unhappy, and at this time he immediately changed his way around, and diligently poured some hot tea for Yinxiang, "The thirteenth master came all the way, I guess he hasn't had lunch yet, right?" It's better to use some here, the chef in the old man's house still has a few dishes to try. ”
Yinxiang was surprised by the speed of Marhan's transformation, and on the other hand, he was more or less relieved, because he finally listened to his words.
Malhan quickly beckoned his subordinates to come in and ordered: "Please go to the ......Thirteenth Master" Malhan originally planned to invite Yinxiang to dinner in the side hall of the main courtyard, but he changed his mind before he finished speaking. It's no longer safe in his own house, and it doesn't seem very appropriate to let Yinxiang walk around so blatantly, but it's not very appropriate to put a dignified brother in his concubine's room to eat.
was embarrassed, Marhan thought about it, called his henchman to explain a few words, and then said to Yinxiang: "Thirteenth elder brother, you can do it, the old man has already invited someone to accompany him." What you said involves a little girl, and the old man is not good at discussing it with her mother, so the old man will not accompany her. ”
Yinxiang couldn't help but say a few polite words to Marhan, and sat back.
Marhan, disregarded his manners, trotted into his wife's courtyard.
As soon as Mrs. Marhan said that she wanted to rest, she heard that the old man was coming, and she could not help wondering which one was singing, so she had to get up and go out of the bedroom. Lord Marhan, who was running in panting, was shouting for water to drink, so he had to bring it himself, "Master, you should drink slowly." Didn't you rest in the second aunt's room at noon? Why did you suddenly run over? ”
"Okay, okay, I don't need you to wait, let's all go down. Go farther, don't call people to come. Marhan didn't bother to explain to his wife, and even drove his subordinates out. At the end, I was not at ease, I still looked at the crack of the door, and then walked back and sat on the couch, shook my head and sighed and repeated what Yinxiang said to my wife.
Although Mrs. Marhan is a woman's family, she has been running a family for many years, and these things of men competing for fame and fortune are not much more complicated in her eyes than the jealousy of a family, so she didn't sigh like her husband after listening to it, but directly found the key point and asked: "Co-author, master, you said for a long time, except for marrying your daughter to the thirteenth master as a side blessing, there is no other way out?" ”
"That's why I'm here to discuss with you!" Marhan felt that what his wife was asking was nonsense, "You help me to take a good look at it, and see if there is any leak in it, so that I can catch and reject this marriage." ”
Mrs. Marhan glanced at her husband with disdain, thinking that he had been rolling in the gentle country for a long time and had lost his brain, and rolled her eyes and explained: "According to what you said, the emperor's mind has already been decided, and there is only one way to live, and the rest that can be blocked are blocked, and the rest can find loopholes, and it is just a matter of one sentence to plug them." Didn't you tell me back then, what is the Son of Heaven? Can the Son of Heaven turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain? ”
"Let you make an idea, why did you teach the master and me a lesson?" Marhan shouted dissatisfiedly, and then his voice lowered, and what his wife said was not unreasonable, "But do you want our daughter to be a concubine?" "It's not so unacceptable to marry the thirteenth elder brother, but marrying him to be a concubine, Marhan can't get over the hurdle in his heart no matter what.
Mrs. Marhan's profound skills in leading the inner house for many years finally came to a fore at this time, and she comforted her master and said: "Since the thirteenth elder brother likes our daughter, and the Fucha clan only married it to win over the monks, then our daughter will always have a chance to correct in the future." The emperor gives marriage, you always have to go to thank you. When the time comes, looking for an opportunity, you can vigorously say how wronged you are, how much grievances you have for our daughter, and find out what the emperor means? ”
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"As long as the emperor doesn't say anything that makes you die, then the matter of correcting will be nine out of ten." Mrs. Marhan said and moved closer to her master, and whispered: "Even if the emperor says anything about the heir, it is acceptable." Seeing her master's surprised look, she had no choice but to continue to explain: "Isn't it okay if the Thirteenth Master doesn't go to the Fucha clan's room?" ”
Marhan nodded suddenly, and sincerely picked up the thumb brother and exclaimed: "Madame, she is talented!" ”
Mrs. Marhan smiled proudly, and then remembered something, "Master, you came to me, that is to hang the thirteenth master alone in the second aunt's room?" "This is too inappropriate, Madame thought to herself.
"How can it?" Lord Marhan smiled narrowly, "I asked someone to quietly invite our daughter over to accompany her." Seeing that his wife seemed to blame himself, Marhan hurriedly explained: "Since the emperor's eyes and ears can detect the fourteenth elder brother, then the whereabouts of the thirteenth elder brother naturally cannot be hidden. Simply, I will also give them a chance to be alone, even if the emperor knows, both of them are his sons......" Before he finished speaking, Marhan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the emperor's greasy expression.
Although Mrs. Marhan felt that her husband was like a child, she couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the old man is still smart." ”
A pair of old foxes were smiling and staggering on the couch.
Nian Shengyuan was dozing off with an embroidered bandage in his small courtyard, and Leng Buding heard someone say that he Ama asked him to go to the second aunt's room, and he was only unhappy that someone wanted to find him, so he suddenly came to the spirit, and only took one of the hanging toads and went straight to the east cross courtyard where the second aunt lived.
