Chapter 254: Meddling
The emperor said with a smile: "There is no need to say this, and let's hear if he can propose a way to properly deal with this matter, otherwise he will only know the pros and cons, and it will be useless if he can't deal with it." (倩倩Chinese.) )β
The prince bowed his head and said: "Erchen thinks that the capricious wolf ambition of Western Xia must be severely punished, let them remember this lesson, this time since they are defeated and surrendered, the father can let him cede a few cities, so that he can pay a large tribute of jewels......"
Because of the prince's interruption, Zhen Yan did not leave the palace until mid-afternoon.
Zhang Lingxin had been waiting outside the palace gate for an hour, and when he saw that he finally came out, he stepped forward and asked carefully, "Why did my father-in-law come out at this time?" β
Zhen Yan snorted and said, "It's not because of the prince." Grandpa Su is lucky. The Western Xia Kingdom is menacing, who would have expected it to be so sparse and useless in the end Chapter 254: Interfering, but he gave him a great credit in vain. Look, after the triumphant class this time, the emperor will knight him no matter what. β
Zhang Lingxin's face sank like water, and the unwillingness and resentment in his heart were burning, but he had nothing to say. Suddenly, I heard Zhen Yan say: "You don't have to worry, he has a good background since he was a child, and he just caught up with a good time, don't say that you, how many years have you been in officialdom as a father?" Isn't it still as sharp as him? It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing. You just have to be your official with peace of mind, do your errands well, as long as you work hard, there will always be a time when you will soar into the sky in the future. Yes, I heard a few days ago that you made a fuss about a woman, what's going on? I'm busy with the Doujin Conference these days, and I don't have time to listen to them gossip. β
Zhang Lingxin hurriedly bowed down and said, "My son is ashamed. has the reputation and entrustment of his father-in-law, but he was played with by that woman, so that he was disgraced, and every time he thought of it, his son felt like a fire, and he really had no shame to see his father-in-law......"
Zhen Yan waved his hand and frowned: "I know your temperament." It's not like my unsuccessful son. What kind of woman can make you work so hard? You shouldn't have been such a child-like person, Chapter 254: Intervene or I won't recognize you as a righteous son that day. β
Zhang Lingxin sighed and said ashamedly: "Speaking of which, this is a bad fate, when Erchen was still a penniless talent, he met Miss Ruan who ran away from marriage and left home, fell in love with each other, and became husband and wife......."
"Wait......"
Zhen Yan: Who is that? As soon as I heard Zhang Lingxin say that it was Miss Ruan who ran away from marriage and left home, she was stunned for a moment. (.) Then he turned his head to look at him and said, "This woman who is in a fuss with you is Ruan Yunsi from the Loyal Marquis Mansion?" β
Zhang Lingxin nodded wordlessly. His face was purple, and he was about to speak again, but he heard Zhen Yan mutter: "It's her again!" Oh my God, what kind of magic is this woman? She ran away from marriage that day. The Su family almost lost their reputation. But in the future, Su Mingxi knew her identity, and she didn't even care about her previous suspicions. Now it's her again, but she's got mixed up with my godson, what kind of virtue can this woman have? Do you want to forget the two best young talents in the world?
Zhang Lingxin didn't speak, just listened silently. Zhen Yan sighed and was surprised here. After a little groaning, he looked at Zhang Lingxin with a smile and said, "Do you still want to marry her again?" Obsessed with her like this? β
Zhang Lingxin hurriedly said solemnly: "My son married her this time, and he has no love. It's just that I can't breathe out of my heart, which is really unwilling, and it also makes the world laugh at me for missing out on a female streamer. β
Zhen Yan smiled and said: "This is the right reason, I expect that you will not be so dizzy for a woman, otherwise you will not be worthy of being my righteous son." Even if there was love before, but when it is decided, a manly man, if you want to have a career that stands up to the sky, how can you put all your efforts into these children's love. β
"Yes, what the father-in-law taught him is that the son must remember."
Zhang Lingxin hurriedly nodded in agreement, but his heart became more and more hateful and angry, is this the secret way like this? That bad breath wants me to swallow it alive? Hateful, hateful!
After Mrs. Tong was divorced, he did not go to the dowry engagement letter again, even if he changed the Geng post, at this time, it was just a humiliation for himself. What's more, the old marquis's attitude is very obvious, even if he wants to go other ways, there is no other way to go at this time.
So I have been holding back, just looking for a good opportunity to help Mrs. Tong go back to the Hou Mansion again, although it is very difficult, but under the power, who can help him? What is the Mansion of the Faithful Marquis? It's just a dilapidated aristocrat, even if Ruan Siqi comes back with meritorious service, he can't clean up Su Mingxi with Zhen Yan's strength, and can't he clean up Ruan Siqi?
He didn't go to the door of the Marquis Mansion again, but he didn't want to give up. It's just that the time hasn't come up yet, and I haven't come up with a good idea in my heart, not to mention that the house is not at ease, the last time I inspected various places, some officials sent a few peerless beauties, all of whom were accepted by him, and the back house was lively now. So much so that he didn't even have time to think about what to do.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yan made a final decision, if he still wanted to climb this thick thigh in the future, it was obvious that he didn't have to think about Ruan Yunsi anymore. The disobedient son, will Zhen Yan treat him differently? Zhang Lingxin didn't dare to make this bet, so he could only agree, but he was unwilling to the extreme.
Zhen Yan didn't speak again, seeing the sedan chair coming, he waved his hand and said to the sedan chair man: "I walked back to the house with Lingxin, I don't need you, go back and tell Mrs. Lingxin at noon, Lingxin will also stay at home to eat, let her cook a few more dishes."
The sedan chair man agreed, carried the empty sedan chair and flew away, and here Zhen Yan and Zhang Lingxin walked leisurely towards Zhen's mansion, gossiping along the way. When he arrived at Zhen's mansion, Zhang Lingxin first went to see his stepmother, Mrs. Zhen, and then was called to the study by Zhen Yan.
"I know that what I said to you before must have caused you quite a shock. It's rare that you agreed without even hesitating, and you didn't have any absent-mindedness along the way. Don't say anything else, just talk about this forbearance and concentration, hehe, when you are as old as your father, you may not be able to do it. β
As soon as he entered the study, Zhen Yan said these words with a smile, Zhang Lingxin was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and said a few words modestly. But seeing Zhen Yan take a sip of tea slowly, and after a while, Fang Youyou said, "Don't you want to marry that Ruan Yunsi?" Then marry, with me here, everything will be easy. β
"Huh?"
The sudden change made Zhang Lingxin stunned, and he didn't understand why Zhen Yan changed his mind so quickly. But I heard him smile and say, "I was just testing your heart before. In fact, if this woman is not Ruan Yunsi, I don't care what you do with her, but she is Ruan Yunsi, not to mention that you happen to have such a wish, even if you don't have this wish, your father will also persuade you to marry her. β
"Father-in-law, why is it that the son does not understand your words?"
Zhang Lingxin was really confused. But I heard Zhen Yan sneer: "No one who goes against me will end well, and the officials are still like this, not to mention that she is a small person?" is still a woman. Do you think that with Su Mingxi as a backer, everything will be fine? This time, I'm going to let you marry her in the door and humiliate her at will. At that time, I think the little grandfather will definitely be like a fried heart? Hehe, no matter how much he has the upper hand, he can't even keep the woman he loves, this taste must be very unforgettable, if he can accompany him for life, it will be even better. I don't know how many opportunities we have. β
Only then did Zhang Lingxin understand his father-in-law's plan: Ruan Yunsi was the woman Su Mingxi liked, which may not have spread much in the capital, but it was no secret in their eyes. If he can marry Ruan Yunsi, it will be a heavy blow to Su Mingxi, who has always been wishing to make things come true, and Ruan Yunsi is in his hands, as long as Su Mingxi still loves her for a day, maybe he can coerce him to do less or do more, although the possibility is not great, but there is finally this possibility, isn't it? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Su Mingxi is not coerced, he will always be upset when he hears about some such and such things? As long as it's messy, the result of many things, I don't know how much to discount, myself and my father-in-law, but we are people who will grasp the opportunity.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited immediately, but he heard Zhen Yan say in a deep voice: "When the time comes, when you marry this woman, in front of Young Master Su, you can't say anything." But for that woman, I don't care what means you use, whether Huairou is coercive or coercive, in short, let her make good use of those talents in her hands. Lingxin, don't just think about taking a breath and pressing Su Mingxi. You should see the value of this woman, since she has such an amazing talent in weaving and dyeing, you know that this will be an endless source of wealth in the future. β
Zhang Lingxin was stunned, he was extremely machismo, although he hated Ruan Yunsi because of love, and wanted to marry her into the door to humiliate and torture, but he really didn't want to use her to make more money.
As soon as Zhen Yan saw his appearance, he knew what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but sneer and scolded: "Confused, even if you can cover the sky with one hand, what can you accomplish without money?" Do you think that with your current wealth, everything is more than enough? It's just confusing. I told you the truth today, the prince has long been dissatisfied with me, that is a person close to Su Mingxi, I am afraid that the emperor will go, after the prince ascends the throne, you and I will all have to play, do you understand? β
"Huh?"
Zhang Lingxin exclaimed, but heard Zhen Yan sneered again: "What are you panicking about? Now several princes have grown up, and among the many concubines, Concubine Lan is the most favored by the emperor, although the prince is good, but the queen is not favored by the emperor, and the seventh prince is from Concubine Lan, who is smart and clever may not be as good as the prince, Concubine Lan has intended to show favor to me in the past two years, and the intention is already obvious. Now that the emperor is getting older, it's time for us to think about the future for the Seventh Prince, do you think this big thing can be done without money? βRQοΌοΌοΌ
