Chapter 194: Coercion
No matter what the Xie family thought, Xie Qingheng immediately became the prince's companion and began to frequently enter and leave the East Palace.
And after Xie Qingheng was selected, just like in the previous life, the scenery was infinite for a while, and Xie Qingheng became the most favored son-in-law candidate for those noble families in Beijing.
The Xie family had already had a lot of people who came to say goodbye before, and after Xie Qingheng became the prince's companion, this situation was even worse.
If it weren't for Mrs. Xie's insistence, Xie Qingheng had just entered the East Palace now, and there were many things, I was afraid that the person who said he was close to would be able to step on the threshold of the Xie family.
Correspondingly, Xie Huan's family affairs were also raised.
There are many people in Beijing who want to marry the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and when they saw that Xie Qingheng couldn't get through, they set their eyes on the daughters of the Xie family.
Mrs. Xie is not a pedantic and arbitrary person, and she did not rashly decide for a few children in the house, but just pressed those interested families first, and prepared to choose slowly before making a decision.
……
Cao Xiong was reprimanded by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and after fainting in the palace, he really fell ill after being carried back to the palace.
That pill was not a good thing in the first place, in order to be realistic, Cao Xiong ate several pills in a row, so that his body instantly looked like he was extremely sick, and then he knelt in the palace for a long time, and he was frightened, and after returning home, he had a high fever.
The Cao family was in a mess, and when Concubine Hui heard that Cao Xiong was sick after being punished by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was even more disgusted with him and the Cao family, she was immediately anxious and went directly to Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty to intercede for Cao Xiong.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was already angry that the eldest prince colluded with the Cao family to harm the Xie family.
Now seeing that he just said a few words, Cao Xiong used "fainting" to threaten him, and Concubine Hui didn't know how to introspect for the Cao family, but pleaded for her brother.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty directly ordered Concubine Hui to close the palace for reflection, and the eldest prince was also implicated, not only was Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty robbed of his errand in the Ministry of Industry, but also provoked Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty to dislike him, and his momentum dropped for a while.
After the accident of the eldest prince, the Cao family could no longer be stable.
Cao Xiong's eldest son Cao Rong and third son Cao Li took Cao Yu, who had made a mistake, to Xie's house to apologize in person, accompanied by two thousand taels of silver sealed in a lacquered mahogany box.
As soon as he entered the gate of Xie's house, Cao Rong directly kicked Cao Yu's leg and wrist, making him kneel in Xie's house with a "bang".
Cao Yu's face was distorted in pain, but he bit his lip tightly and didn't dare to make a sound, and he still had bruises from being beaten.
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Rong: "What is Lord Xiao Cao doing?" ”
was already over twenty-five years old, and Cao Rong, who was wearing an official uniform, respectfully saluted Mrs. Xie and Xie Yuan, and said in a deep voice:
"Old lady, Master Xie, the younger generation is here today to specially bring me, a younger brother who doesn't know the so-called, to apologize to you."
"The little brother is stubborn by nature, he doesn't know the severity, he doesn't talk about the gambling fight, and he offends the little prince of your mansion, the previous things are all my Cao family's lax discipline, which annoys the old lady and the Hou Ye, today I will hand over my younger brother to the Hou Ye, and let your house punish him."
Old Madam Xie glanced at Cao Rong, and her eyes fell on the official uniform on him.
Cao Rong's official rank is not high, and now he is only a six-grade cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, but compared to Cao Xiong, who was stunned, and Cao Yu, who caused trouble, Cao Rong looked much smarter.
talked about the younger generation, but he was wearing an official uniform, and he could obviously come over with a silver ticket, but he had to let people carry the silver to swagger through the market......
Old Madam Xie said with alienation in her eyes: "Lord Xiao Cao laughed at this, Gongzi Cao is not my Xie family, how can my Xie family be qualified to be punished, as for the previous matter, the mansion has also been handed over to Dali Temple for disposal." ”
"If Lord Xiao Cao wants to liquidate, then he should go to Dali Temple, not my Xie family."
Cao Rong's expression remained unchanged when he heard this: "The old lady doesn't have to say anything to squeeze the juniors, the juniors came today because they sincerely want to reconcile with the Xie family." ”
"Hou Ye Xie and my father have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and the eldest son of Xie is also a classmate of my third brother. My younger brother has a stubborn temperament, so he will be used to offend your mansion, if the old lady and the marquis have grievances, my Cao family will be beaten and punished. ”
"It's just that my father is sick in bed now, and this is what I remember about it, and I also ask the old lady and the Hou Ye to be magnanimous, so that they can spare him this time, so that my father can be relieved."
Old Madam Xie laughed when she heard this: "Lord Xiao Cao's words are interesting, your father has a heart disease, what does it have to do with my Xie family?" Could it be that he is sick, so I want my Xie family to swallow his anger and forget about the previous things, how can there be such a reason in this world? ”
"Lord Xiao Cao is not very old, but this mind is very beautiful."
Xie Yuan also said on the side: "It's cold on the ground in winter, Lord Xiao Cao should let Cao Gongzi get up, don't let him kneel and break his knees, and then give my Xie family a sentence of bullying, then my Xie family is really wronged." ”
Cao Rong saw that the Xie family's oil and salt did not enter, shook the fist in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "I sincerely apologize today, why should the old lady and the Hou Ye be aggressive?" ”
"There is only such a big place in this capital, the ups and downs are changing day by day, who knows what will happen tomorrow today."
"My younger brother was really wrong before, he shouldn't have been tricked into harming Little Master Xie, but what the Xie family did may not be so bright, if it really comes to it, the old lady and the Hou Ye are not afraid, aren't they afraid of affecting the future of the eldest son Xie?"
Cao Rong looked up at them and said directly:
"The eldest prince of your mansion has just become the prince's companion, the prince is gentle and polite, and everyone praises him, but the Xie family is aggressive and insists on putting my Cao family to death, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will doubt the motives of the Xie family."
"The emperor can get tired of the eldest prince because of the Cao family, and he can also get tired of the prince because of the Xie family."
Xie Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Cao Rong coldly and said coldly, "You threaten Benhou? ”
Cao Rong hurriedly suppressed his momentum and said in a low voice: "The juniors don't dare." ”
"The younger generation just wants to say that some things are not irreconcilable."
"The Cao family is willing to give in, and they will not dare to reach out to your mansion in the future, as for what my brother did before, my Cao family is willing to compensate your mansion for its losses."
He gestured to the silver in the chest next to him.
"Here are two thousand taels of silver, in addition to the agreement on the gambling contract, the remaining one thousand taels are regarded as the compensation for the injuries of my Cao family to the little prince of your mansion that day, as well as these shops and the good fields and Zhuangzi outside the city, which are counted as a gift from the Cao family to the sixth lady of your mansion."
"The Cao family is so sincere, please think twice about the old lady and the Hou Ye."
