The Yang Xi in the emperor's mouth is the grandfather of Yang Sangongzi, and he is also the original Qingyuanbo who has just been cut off his title. ~with~dream~small~say~Ρ~suimΠ΅ng~lΔ
Duanmu Xian's eyes widened in shock when he heard this.
The emperor picked up a gourd-shaped purse from the chess box and threw it to Duanmuxian, who subconsciously caught the purse.
It is a purse sewn from blue lotus-colored silk cloth embroidered with a delicate floral pattern.
In Shangshu Mansion before, he had already asked Duanmu Jun to carefully draw the appearance of this purse to him, so although Duanmuxian saw this purse for the first time, he was already able to be sure that this was the purse that Yang Sangongzi got from the Xiaohe family, but he didn't expect Yang Xi to directly present the purse to the saint, and the Yang family was really faceless!
The emperor looked at Duanmu Xian's complicated face, and said lightly: "Duanmu Aiqing, this is your granddaughter's purse, right?" Don't say that the Yang family deliberately stole the purse, how can a girl's purse be so easily lost! Is it true that these children have feelings for each other first, but you don't want to admit it now?! β
After all, now that the Yang family is down, even if the Duanmu family regrets not wanting to admit this family business, it is human nature, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in the folk or in the script.
Duanmu Xian chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the reminder of the four girls this time, the Duanmu family would probably fall to the point of passivity!
Duanmuxian knelt down without hesitation, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, all this is to blame for the minister's lax governance of the family, and the minister is guilty." β
At this moment, Duanmuxian didn't care about Cen Yin on the side, and put Xiao He's intention to let Duanmujun marry the Yang family, Duanmujun was unwilling, Xiao He's was angry and stole a purse from Duanmujun and wanted to use it to create the established facts, who would have thought that the purse was inadvertently picked up by Duanmujun, or the purse of Duanmuqi, Xiaohe's daughter......
After saying the inside story, Duanmu Xian sighed ashamedly and said: "The family is unfortunate, so the emperor laughs." β
The ugliness of the family is not publicized, but since the matter has come to this point, it can't be taken care of so much, and this is not just the ugliness of the family, Xiao He is the emperor's cousin, so this matter will not make a big fuss......
Now, he must completely remove himself from this matter in order to minimize the loss of the Duanmu family.
It's just a snap of his fingers, Duanmu Xian is already thinking about it.
He maintained a kneeling posture and continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to the embroidered flowers on the front of the purse, there is also an embroidered 'Qi' character in the corner of the purse's inner lining, which is the name of the minister's second granddaughter, and the minister's eldest granddaughter's maiden name is 'ηΊ'. As long as the emperor opens the purse and looks at it, he knows that what the minister said is true. β
As he spoke, Duanmu Xian lifted the purse high with both hands and sent it to the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was difficult to hide the look of surprise between his eyebrows.
He made a gesture, and a small chamberlain took the purse, untied the drawstring, looked inside, and nodded slightly to the emperor, indicating that what Duanmuxian said was true.
The emperor's expression softened a lot, and it turned out that the inside story was so tortuous. It's ridiculous, but it's reasonable.
Also, Duanmu Xian has never been close to the Yang family in the court, and in this harem, Yang Huifei always said that Duanmu Guifei bullied her by virtue of her high position.
He just thought, how could the Duanmu family think of marrying the Yang family?!
It turned out that the house in Shangshu Mansion was restless.
Duanmu Xian followed the autumn hunt and left the house for more than a month, and it was normal not to find the careful thoughts of the women in the house...... Speaking of which, his cousin Xiao He's behavior is still a bit ridiculous!
The emperor casually turned the jade wrench on his thumb, already having a plan in his heart, and waved his hand casually: "Duanmu Aiqing, you should step back first." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Duanmu Xian, who was kneeling below, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was already sweaty.
This time, I almost got into trouble in the house because of an ignorant woman! Even if the emperor believed his explanation in the end, no matter what, he must have left the impression that he had no way to govern his family in front of the emperor, and his career would probably be affected a little......
Duanmuxian stood up, dusted off his robe slightly, and then retreated, leaving only the string of coral beads of the door curtain still swaying slightly in mid-air......
In the imperial study, the emperor's faint sigh soon sounded: "Duanmu Xian is indeed talented, but he can't govern the family." As the saying goes, home and everything is prosperous. β
If this family is not in harmony, it is inevitable that everything will not go well, otherwise, why would Duanmu Xian have to go to Jingzhao Mansion today!
Cen Yin looked at the chessboard, pondered for a long time, and finally dropped a sunspot, and answered with a little embarrassment: "Lord Duanmu is busy with the affairs of the household, so naturally he can't care about the trivial matters of the inner house......
The emperor's attention also returned to the chessboard, and he fell again, remembering the recent incident of Duanmu Xian in order to open the sea ban, it can be said that he had done his best, and sighed: "Duanmu Xian has indeed worked hard...... I can't blame him for this, it's also my cousin who is ignorant...... It should be punished. β
Although the emperor kept saying that Xiao He's family should be punished, it was impossible for him, as the Son of Heaven, to issue an order to punish a female dependent.
In the imperial study, there was silence for a moment.
Outside the window, a gust of cold wind blew, blowing the branches and leaves of the withered poplar trees in the courtyard swaying and rattling, as if in the blink of an eye, it was winter, and everything was depressed.
After a while, Cen Yin asked again: "The emperor is going to abandon the Yang family?" β
The Emperor was silent, and looked up at the aspen swaying in the wind outside the window, which seemed to be decaying, but the thick trunk below was firmly rooted in the soil......
Cen Yin smiled slightly, a strand of black hair on his cheeks flew in the wind, and his charming eyes were full of rippling light.
"Since the Yang family is still 'useful', in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to 'fulfill' this marriage." Cen Yin said unhurriedly, "First, let the Yang family know that they have not fallen out of favor, so as to reassure them; Second, it is also a reminder to Duanmu Shangshu that if the internal family is not repaired, it is the source of chaos. β
What Cen Yin said is not unreasonable...... The emperor touched his chin thoughtfully, as if he remembered something, and said to himself: "Yang Xi kept saying that he wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Duanmu family......
The emperor's eyes couldn't help but appear Duanmujun's bright face.
"Your Majesty," Cen Yin slowly dropped another sunspot, and said half-jokingly, "If this is the eldest daughter of the Duanmu family to marry, the minister is afraid that Duanmu Shangshu will come to cry again tomorrow morning." β
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Where it starts, it should end......"
Between the words, the corners of Cen Yin's mouth curled higher, and his beautiful face became more and more colorful, as if to say, since it was caused by the lady of the second room of the Duanmu family, why let the orphan girl of the long room bear it?!
That's exactly what it is! The emperor bowed slightly, and glanced at Cen Yin appreciatively, he still knew his heart.
Duanmuxian has always been diligent in his work, and he is indispensable to the household department, so of course he can't be cold.
This marriage gift is to appease the Yang family, and secondly, to give Duanmu Xian a small punishment as a warning, since this is the case, how can you casually marry the eldest daughter of the Duanmu family?! That would be too severe.
The emperor half-lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and ordered: "Ah Yin, you can go to Duanmu's house in person." The emperor's eyes and tone were meaningful, and he had to give another piece of candy after a whip!
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cen Yin stood up calmly and calmly, and gave orders to the emperor, leaving the remnants to lie quietly by the window.
Half an hour later, Cen Yin came out of the imperial study with a bright yellow holy decree, and it was already golden and dark outside, and the sky was full of colorful clouds.
Cen Yin galloped out of the palace gate with a group of angels, galloping all the way in the direction of Quanyu Street, and the cold wind howled, scraping on his face like a knife.
Before the sun completely set, the group came to Shangshu Mansion.
The porter immediately opened the door to greet him, and sent someone to inform the owners of each house, and the lanterns in the courtyard and in the house were lit one after another, and the lights were bright.
Duanmuxian was the first to rush to the Chengming Hall in the front yard to receive the order.
After he returned home from the palace, he pondered the scenes that happened in the palace, and in this hour, his heart was always a little uneasy, and his heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air.
Although he had already explained the cause and effect of this incident to the emperor one by one, the emperor seemed to believe it, and he was a little moved, but he did not give a clear answer.
The heart of the king is unpredictable, and until the end, no one can be sure where the Sacred Heart will go!
"Lord Cen Governor."
When Duanmu Xian saw that the angel sitting in the Chengming Hall who came to deliver the decree turned out to be Cen Yin, he was shocked, and the worry in his heart became even stronger.
"Lord Duanmu." Cen Yin put down the teacup, stood up with a smile, and arched his hand at Duanmu Xian, looking very easy-going.
"What a Governor!" But Duanmuxian didn't dare to be careless, politely arched his hand to Cen Yin, and asked the other party to sit down, and ordered his subordinates to renew a pot of dragon wells.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting quite happily, and while they were talking, other people in the house also came one after another, including Mrs. He and the children and grandchildren of each room, men, women and children were all dressed up.
When they saw Cen Yin, they were also shocked, and they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say more.
After everyone in the family arrived, Duanmuxian took the lead and knelt on the bluestone slab floor that was as bright as a mirror, and the others also knelt down, all of them short.
Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun are juniors and women, kneeling in the last row.
Cen Yin stood at the front, took the holy decree of the bright yellow auspicious cloud pattern silk brocade from the hand of the little attendant on the side, opened it with a "snap", and began to announce the decree:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Heaven is virtuous, adult combination, I heard that the granddaughter of Duanmu Qi, the granddaughter of Duanmu Xian, the secretary of the household department, knows the book and is reasonable, and the queen mother and I bow to hear it very happily. Now when Yang Xuyao, the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, is suitable for marriage, when he chooses a virtuous woman to match, the two can be a good couple. There is a division to choose an auspicious day, and the marriage is faint and harmonious, in order to comfort my heart. Chin this! β
Hearing this sudden marriage decree, everyone in the Duanmu family who was kneeling on the ground almost didn't jump up, their faces were different, but after all, no one dared to speak.
In the hall, only Cen Yin's soft voice echoed around, obviously not light or heavy, but it resounded in the ears of He and Xiao He like thunder......
Xiao He's was as shaky as a leaf in the wind and rain, and he almost fainted.
The decree has been given, it is the grace of heaven, and no one can disobey the decree!
Probably only Duanmu, who was kneeling in the last row, curled up with a smile on his lips. Regardless of the emperor's intentions, her sister finally got rid of this pickled incident and had no worries.
Duanmu raised his eyes and glanced quickly in Cen Yin's direction, just in time to meet Cen Yin's eyes, Cen Yin smiled at her, as if signaling her to be relieved.
"The minister takes the order."
Duanmuxian raised his hands high, respectfully accepted the holy decree, and then stood up.
The Duanmu family behind him also got up one after another, and the weak Xiao He family was almost supported by a maid.
Duanmu Xian took a step forward and smiled politely at Cen Yin: "It's really annoying the Overseer." β
"It's just a matter of duty." Cen Yin hooked his lips and smiled, as bright as a peony blooming, overshadowing a room of people, "This seat has to go back to the emperor to report his life, so I will leave first." β
"I'll send it to the Overseer."
Duanmu Xian handed over the holy decree to the little guy on the side, and personally sent Cen Yin out of Chengming Hall.
It was just two cups of tea, the sunset was lower, the sky outside was much darker, the clouds in the sky were half bright and half dark, and the night was about to fall.
Seeing that there was no one around, Duanmu Xian asked tentatively, "Lord Cen Du, this marriage ...... What's going on? "Is the Emperor's Sacred Heart happy or angry?
Cen Yin walked forward, his black eyes were dazzling, and his thin lips said lightly: "Lord Duanmu, relax, the emperor understands the loyalty of the adult, and he also has high hopes for the adult." First, this matter is a small punishment and a big command......ment," Cen Yin's voice gradually lowered, and he mentioned vaguely, "Second, although the Yang family has lived up to the holy will, the culprit has been punished, the emperor is merciful, and the rest do not want to be held accountable." As a courtier, Duanmu Shangshu should 'share worries for the king'. β
Duanmu Xian narrowed his eyes, and suddenly understood.
"Worry about the king"? Does this mean that the emperor still has to use the Yang family's place, so he will use this marriage to temporarily appease. Therefore, in this holy decree, the emperor only vaguely said that "there is a division to choose an auspicious day", but he did not mention which year or month at all...... In this way, when the time is right in the future, it may be possible to dissolve the marriage.
Heyβ
Duanmu Xian sighed faintly in his heart.
Even if the marriage contract can be dissolved in the future, Duanmuqi's reputation will no longer be flawless, and family affairs will definitely be affected in the future. However, at this time, he couldn't take care of this, after all, the Duanmu family had also had this matter, and the emperor was slightly punished as a warning.
Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and you can only bear it!
After thinking about it, Duanmu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, the Duanmu family finally passed this level!
"It's really a reminder from Lord Governor." Duanmu Xian thanked Cen Yin, and his expression was more earnest, "In the future, I will ask the overseer to say a few more kind words in front of the emperor, and I will do it again in the next week." β
"Your Excellency is gracious." Cen Yinyun smiled lightly.
Between the words, the two came to the Yimen.
The attendants and horses were still waiting in place, and Cen Yin strode up to a tall and vigorous red horse, scooped up the horse rope, and neatly turned over on the horse.
He shook the rope casually, and the red horse under his crotch began to pace with a snort, and was eager to go in the direction of the gate.
Suddenly, Cen Yin seemed to think of something, grabbed the horse rope, looked down at Duanmu Xian, and reminded with a smile: "Lord Duanmu, internal discord is the source of chaos. β
When he bowed his head, Cen Yin's inky black hair poured down, and his whole face was shrouded in the shadows of dusk, only a pair of black eyes with slightly raised corners of his eyes were radiant, and his feminine temperament made him not look like the scorching sun even if he was wearing a fiery red dress, but more like a dark moon in the hazy night.
"The emperor has allowed Liu Shoufu to give advice, and after the New Year, Liu Shoufu will leave Beijing and return to his hometown. β¦β¦ Adults should remember that there is no trivial matter in the inner house, and you should not lose the big because of the small. β
Hearing Cen Yin's words, Duanmu Xian's heart froze, and his heartbeat pounded faster. In other words, the emperor is about to appoint a new chief assistant!
Duanmu Xian became more and more grateful to Cen Yin, and solemnly thanked him again: "Thank you, Lord Cen." "I was definitely the first to know about this news.
Cen Yin smiled faintly, this time, he clamped the horse's belly, and rode out of Shangshu Mansion without looking back.
The group of angels soon left the Shangshu Mansion, the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and then the gate of the Shangshu Mansion "creaked" shut again.
Only Duanmuxian was left looking at the closed vermilion gate and standing still for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, he found that his surroundings were dark, the sky had completely darkened, and the moon in the night sky shone a soft silver light.
The lanterns around them became brighter as the night fell, like jewels and stars.
Duanmu Xian, who was in a complicated mood, returned to Chengming Hall the same way, and from a distance, he saw a commotion in the hall, and everyone gathered there and did not leave, stretching their necks one by one to look outside the hall.
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
As soon as he saw Duanmuxian's return, the Chengming Hall was even more noisy, and all the burning eyes were focused on Duanmuxian's body.
"Old lady, what the hell is going on?" The He family at the top asked nervously, his eyebrows locked, "Your Majesty, how could he decree a marriage?" β
The He family couldn't figure it out, wasn't this Yang family rejected by the emperor and robbed of his title?
Why did the emperor give marriage to the Duanmu family and the Yang family! β¦β¦ Is their sister Qi really going to marry into such a shabby household?!
Duanmu Xian was still thinking about Cen Yin's words in his heart, glanced at He Shi lightly, and said, "Since it is the holy will, it is to be accepted." β
He wanted to say something, but he was grabbed by Xiao He, "Father, how can this work!" β
Xiao He couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly.
She looked at Duanmu Fei viciously, pointed at her nose and gritted her teeth, "It's all your fault!" If you didn't say anything to report to Jingzhao Mansion and make trouble in front of the emperor, how could the emperor give a decree on marriage? ! β
Hearing these words, many people in the Duanmu family were confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
Duanmu Qi, who was sitting on the side and lost his soul, suddenly reacted, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes were cold and looked at Duanmu Fei, and he muttered, "It's you...... It turned out to be you. You're all hurting me! β
Her voice became more and more sharp, and she jumped up from the chair and rushed in the direction of Duanmufei, "Duanmufei, you cheap girl, why do you want to harm me?" β
"Presumptuous!" Duanmu Xian frowned and let out an angry shout, "Don't stop the second girl yet!" β
Duanmu Xian, as the head of the family, said nothing in this house, and as soon as he gave the order, a group of maids and wives rushed forward and restrained Duanmu Qi in three or two strokes.
A girl in Tsing Yi whispered: "Second girl, cold ......"
Duanmuqi's eyes were red, her brain was burning with rage, she couldn't listen to it at all, she struggled desperately, "Let go of me, let go of me...... her emotions became more and more excited, her cheeks were red with anger, and tears flashed in her eyes.
Several maids and women were afraid of angering Duanmuxian, so they hurriedly dragged Duanmuqi away as if they were half-forced, and the hall was full of chickens and dogs.
Xiao He looked at the back of his daughter's departure distressedly, and cried to Duanmu Xian with sadness and grievance: "Old lady, you can't be like this!" Sister Qi is also your granddaughter, you can't be so favoritistic! β
"Shut up!" Duanmu Xian was so noisy that his head hurt, and he reprimanded him coldly.
As soon as she saw Xiao He's stupid woman, Duanmu Xian was upset: If it weren't for her vicious thoughts, why would the Duanmu family have this disaster?!
This time, it was also a loss to the four girls to report to Jingzhao Mansion, otherwise passively, the price that the Duanmu family would have to pay would be far more than just a marriage! Now nominally as a punishment for marriage, in fact, it is not because the emperor has high hopes for him, which will make Cen Yin run in person.
Duanmu Xian didn't bother to reason with this stupid woman, he looked directly at Duanmu Chao, and said with a majestic expression: "Second brother, take care of your daughter-in-law, she caused the disaster this time!" β
Duanmu Chao didn't know what was going on, his eyes looked at Xiao He's fiercely, and Xiao He's heart was cold, and he suddenly shrank.
Duanmu Heng on the side was silent for a long time, frowning slightly, and said in his heart: What did my mother do to make my grandfather angry to this point?!
Duanmu Xian saw that the father and son and the people in this room were all puzzled, thought about it, and felt that this matter could not be hidden, at least not from the family, otherwise something might happen again.
Duanmuxian raised his hand and made a gesture, and the slaves and maids in this room all retreated, leaving Mama You to guard under the eaves outside the hall.
followed, Duanmu Xian told all the ins and outs about the purse, including the Jun prelude not long ago.
Xiao He's face drooped more and more, and she felt that everyone's eyes were hot, and she felt as if she had been pricked by thousands of needles.
Duanmu Chao's face turned blue and white for a while, and he said stiffly: "Father, don't worry, the son will take care of her." β
Duanmu Xian's heart was still heavy, and he said lightly to the He family: "Amin, in the future, the affairs of the house will be managed by Sister Jun first...... The second daughter-in-law is not in good health, so she can take care of it, and if she can't raise it well in the house, she will go to the Zhuangzi, and if the Zhuangzi is not good again, she will go to the family temple. β
Duanmu Xian's expression and tone were so calm, not slow, but he heard Xiao He's body cold and cold.
"Four girls," Duanmu Xian turned to Duanmu and said gently, "In the future, you can help your sister take care of the house?" β
"Yes, grandfather."
Duanmu Fei responded obediently. There are a lot of trivial matters in this huge Shangshu Mansion, if Duanmujun is in charge alone, Duanmufei is also afraid that her sister will be tired, and with her as a helper, her sister will not be too tired.
The fourth lady Ren and the fifth lady Ni not far away had different expressions, secretly exchanging glances, and they didn't know whether to sigh that Xiao He had played a good deck of cards like this, or that they were shocked that there were two little girls who were not in charge of the house!
It's only been less than a day, and the house has changed dramatically!
"Alright, everybody's gone." Duanmu Xian waved his hand casually and said, "Second, fourth, fifth, Brother Heng, you go to the study with me......"
After a pause, Duanmu Xian added another sentence in the surprised eyes of everyone: "There are four girls, you can come with it." β
Duanmu Fei responded again, and with several uncles and cousins, he hugged Duanmu Xian in the direction of the outer study.
In November, the sky darkened very quickly, and it was only halfway through the unitary hour, and it was already as dark as late at night, and the night was like ink.
When everyone came to the outer study, they sat down one after another, and the maid quickly served hot tea to several masters, and then stood aside.
The candle flame occasionally jumped down uneasily in the palace lamp, and there was a hint of solemnity in the atmosphere.
Along the way, Duanmu Chao's mood has calmed down a lot, and he said loudly: "Father, I thought about it carefully, although Sister Qi and her mother are at fault in this matter, but they can't just let Sister Qi marry into the Yang family, this is too wronged Sister Qi!" Why don't we go into the palace and beg the queen mother and the concubine Niangniang, and ask the emperor to take back the ......"
Duanmu Scarlet drank the aged Pu'er tea from the teacup, squinting his eyes in satisfaction, as if he hadn't heard what Duanmu Chao said at all.
Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Chao with a disappointed expression, and said, "Second brother, are you just thinking about this?" "He's so shallow this time!
As he spoke, Duanmu Xian's eyes swept over the others in the study, and Zhengse asked, "What about you, what do you think of the emperor's holy decree?" β
Duanmu Chao's face was not very good-looking, cloudy and uncertain, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
The fourth old man, Duanmuteng, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Father, the emperor has the intention of punishing the Duanmu family by giving marriage at this time?" β
Duanmuteng's face is not very good-looking, his surname is Duanmu, he is humiliated, he is now in charge of Dali Cheng, who is the sixth grade, and originally expected to rise a little in the coming year, but now it seems that it is difficult to say.
In contrast, the fifth old man Duanmu Shuo did not have that kind of skin pain.
He has been in charge of the housework for many years, and he has never been able to intervene in the affairs of the court, so he simply did not squeak.
Duanmu Xian's gaze simply swept over Duanmu Shuo, and he directly asked the eldest grandson Duanmu Heng: "Brother Heng, what about you?" β
Duanmu Heng's handsome face was more serious than usual, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Grandfather, although the emperor wants to punish a little, he is not angry, otherwise it would not be just a marriage. β
Duanmu Xian raised his eyebrows and stroked his beard again. His eldest grandson is a little more alert than the second, third and fourth children, but after all, he is still too young and thinks deeply enough.
Duanmuxian looked at Duanmufei, who was sitting by the window, and asked, "Four girls, what do you think?" β
Duanmu reluctantly put down the Pu'er tea in his hand and said, "Grandfather, for the emperor, the Yang family is probably still 'useful'." β
In fact, Duanmu Fei didn't expect the emperor to make such a marriage will, but since the emperor didn't really annoy the Duanmu family, the only possibility is this purely from the analysis of the holy decree itself.
The Yang family still has usable value.
Duanmu Fei continued to analyze unhurriedly: "The Yang family made a big mistake in the hunting palace this time, the guilt is the first, the emperor took the title of the Yang family, according to reason, it is impossible to promote the Yang family in a short period of time, but the Yang family has a 'great use' to the emperor, so there is this marriage, half of the reason should be to take the opportunity to tell the Yang family that the holy favor is still there." β
Today's Yang family has no sons who can afford to mention since Yang Fan's generation, so the emperor thinks that the Yang family is still "useful", it should not be someone who wants to use the Yang family, so-
In addition to people, what else can the Yang family have to make the emperor have to "promote" the Yang family?!
Duanmu hooked her lips, and her big black eyes flashed with interest.
Duanmu Xian slowly stroked his beard, bowing his head slightly, but Duanmu Fei thought thoroughly.
When his eyes looked at Duanmu Chao, Duanmu Teng and Duanmu Shuo, his satisfaction turned into disappointment, and he reprimanded lightly: "You three, learn from the four girls!" β
Duanmu Chao was not convinced, his face sank like water, and his eyebrows tightened and said: "Father, this is just Sister Fei'er's guess...... What is the difference between her instigating Duanmu Xian to go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain because of a few guesses? ! Father, was she tricked by something?
Duanmu Fei just pursed his lips and smiled, and he didn't plan to argue with Duanmu Chao about anything at all.
Duanmu Xian's face finally eased a little, and in an instant, he sank again, and his heart became more and more disappointed in this second son. Hey, why are the four girls not men?!
Thinking about home and everything, thinking that this time Zi is not a rotten wood, Duanmu Xian still said patiently: "What do you know?!" I have just inquired about Lord Cen Du, and this matter is indeed as the four girls said. β
Hearing this, Duanmuteng and the others were all shocked, and subconsciously looked at each other.
Duanmu Chao couldn't hide his surprise, but he still couldn't help but retort: "Father, even so, we shouldn't let the daughter of the Duanmu family come to the Yang family." β
Duanmu slowly removed the tea leaves floating on the tea soup with the tea lid, and suddenly interjected: "Who let the Duanmu family be at fault first?!" β
Therefore, this marriage gift was simply bumped into by my own family!
Duanmu Chao was speechless for a while, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't refute it.
Seeing this, Duanmuteng and Duanmu Shuo secretly exchanged a look, anyway, this marriage is not on the daughters of the two of them, so you echoed me word by word:
"Second brother, since it is the holy will, my family should obey it."
"Yes, second brother, the king's order cannot be violated."
Duanmu Xian, who was sitting behind the rosewood bookcase, nodded and said, "That's the reason." β
Then, Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Chao again, and solemnly warned Duanmu Chao: "Second brother, don't tell your daughter-in-law about what I said just now, she is a ...... who can't keep her mouth open."
Duanmu Chao also knew that the matter was very important, so he naturally obeyed his father's wishes and hurriedly said: "Father, the son still understands this point." Rest assured. β
"And you, the third, the fourth, Brother Heng," Duanmuxian told the others carefully, "Remember, no matter who it is, you can't confide in half a point." Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son, grandparents and grandchildren. You must understand that the Holy Will is not to speculate, and if any gossip is accidentally spread, the consequences will be unimaginable...... In the court, you must always remember that the heart of the king is unpredictable, and the sacred heart is changeable. Between the words, Duanmu Xian's face became more and more solemn.
Everyone did not dare to be contemptuous, but they all stood up in unison and responded, "Remember the teachings of my father (grandfather)." β
Seeing that the children and grandchildren were submissive, the depression on Duanmu Xian's brows eased slightly, and the family worked together to get through the difficulties in front of them.
Everyone sat down again, Duanmuteng and Duanmu Shuo had the heart to taste tea, but Duanmu Chao was still a little uneasy, and said, "Father...... Do you really want to marry Sister Qi into the Yang family? "Xiao He's is ignorant, but Sister Qi is innocent!
"In the end, it depends on the holy will...... Duanmu Xian said in a deep voice, "Besides, this matter was also caused by your daughter-in-law." β
Duanmuxian sighed, stroked his beard and said, "Second brother, your daughter-in-law really doesn't know how thick the sky is. In the past, the situation in Jingzhong was not so complicated, and she looked like she was well-behaved and virtuous, but now it is becoming less and less like this......"
As an elder, Xiao He's just stared at his niece in the next room when he was fine, what was going on?!
Duanmu Chao only felt that the smiling gazes of the two younger brothers were as hot as a few slaps in his face, and he had never been counted down by his father like this over the years.
Duanmu Xian continued: "There is a concubine in the house of Lord Mo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, because she delayed the flowering period for her grandfather and grandmother to keep filial piety, and now she is eighteen years old, and she is filial piety, and her good name is outside, so my father will discuss with your mother later, and ask for you to marry as a second room......"
