Chapter 153: Rejecting Mother
Chapter 153: Rejecting Mother
The old lady listened to the words of the eldest master. was thinking about telling the story that Mengxi was a concubine, only to hear Xiao Jun say:
"Grandma, since the prince is fine, the battle for the storage position, it is not yet known who will kill the deer, the second uncle has already protected the prince, at this time, we will marry Zhang Yushi, the sworn friend of King Yan, will only make the prince and King Yan suspicious, and it will be more difficult for the Xiao family to survive in the cracks. What's more, from King Yan's plot to kill the prince and the control of my Xiao family's industry, it is not difficult to see that King Yan has a vicious mind and a small amount of energy, if it is placed in troubled times, it is worthy of being a generation of heroes, but my Daqi is in a peaceful and prosperous era, the country and the people are safe, and I entrust this great river and mountain to such a wolf with ambition, and provoke the smoke of war for no reason. It's really not a blessing for the people of Daqi."
When Xiao Jun said this, he looked up at his grandmother, and saw that she was only meditating there, and then persuaded him:
"From the perspective of the court situation, although King Yan is currently powerful, but he has also committed three taboos, first, is to form a party for personal gain, before the prince was not sick, King Yan was only planning in the dark, secretly forming a party, it is not too obvious, the prince is critically ill this time, King Yan is active, the queen mother is in the knot, the minister of external relations, the momentum is so great, even my Xiao family is frightened, and has to do a dying struggle, how can Emperor Jin not be frightened, afraid that King Yan will take his throne after becoming the prince, so that father and son are suspicious; Second, using the queen mother's relatives, the kings of the past dynasties were the most taboo about the relatives of the harem to become bigger, not to mention, the current queen mother is not the biological mother of Emperor Jin, Jun'er thought. The crown prince recovered from his illness this time, and Emperor Jin will definitely suppress the queen mother's relatives. Third, mutilating siblings, since the prince was framed this time, the prince will definitely find a way to let Emperor Jin know the truth, once Emperor Jin believes in the prince, how can he not chill, these three taboos are deeply hated by Emperor Jin, Jun'er thought, after this incident, Emperor Jin will not remain ambiguous, he will definitely fully support the prince, once Emperor Jin's wind direction changes, those who follow the wall grass of King Yan will also turn against him overnight, at this time, we must not marry with the imperial history! ”
Xiao Jun really wanted to say what the prince proposed, and completely dispel his grandmother's intention to let her marry Xiu'er, even if the prince was abolished in the future, he had no regrets, but he thought about it. The prince has just recovered, and King Yan is powerful, so it is really not the time to mention this proposition, and it is not easy to be too anxious, once he let his grandmother see his thoughts, he will be passive.
After listening to Jun'er's words, the old lady swallowed back the secret of Mengxi's concubine's background, now is really not the time to marry Xiu'er, so she rashly took a break from Mengxi, leaving hope for Xiu'er, in case the imperial history sends someone to say the matchmaker, it will be difficult to deal with it.
If Mengxi is not a concubine, it is against the ancestral teachings, she is indeed a good daughter-in-law, it is an eventful autumn at this time, and it is not in a hurry to investigate her identity, not to mention that Master Jingyun said that Xi'er can ensure the prosperity of his Xiao family for generations, and if he can not move Mengxi, he will not move as much as possible, and Jun'er will go out for a year, and the two places will be separated by a year, and Jun'er's feelings for Mengxi will be weakened.
Thinking of this, the old lady finally spoke:
"As your father said, this time is really a last resort, I can't let the ancestral business of the Xiao family be buried in my hands, it's hard for Jun'er, the prince is fine, everything will come according to Jun'er's wishes."
"Jun'er thanked Grandma for her success, and Jun'er also begged Grandma to send her cousin out of Xiao Mansion one day"
"Xiu'er's affairs are not busy at this time. Jun'er is about to go south, Jun'er is gone, and Xiu'er will follow out of the house, it's not bad for a few days, don't be too eye-catching, it seems that our Xiao Mansion can't tolerate people. ”
The battle between the prince and the prince has not been settled for a day, and the old lady can't easily abandon Xiu'er's secret chess, but she also knows Jun'er's tough character, if she hadn't threatened her with death this time, I'm afraid that Xiao Jun would not have agreed to divorce his wife and marry another person.
It's not that she can't see Jun'er's distress these days, just looking at Jun'er's thin face, she knows how much he hates this marriage with a strong political transaction, but after all, men want to achieve great things, how can they have children's affection, now things are not in a hurry, and I don't want to go against this grandson, so I started Tai Chi with him.
Xiao Jun heard the old lady say this, and knew that he couldn't force it too much, as long as he didn't rest Xi'er, everything was easy to say, and the joy of losing and regaining made his heart pound and clench his teeth. Let his face look a little calmer, get up and say:
"Grandma, father, if there is nothing else, Jun'er will go back first"
Hearing that Xiao Jun didn't insist on letting Xiu'er leave the house, the old lady nodded happily and said:
"Yes, Jun'er has been away for six or seven days this time, working day and night, he must be tired, go back and rest early, yes. I heard that Xi'er vomited blood a few days ago, I have ordered someone to invite a doctor, because of the prince's affairs, I don't have the heart to see, Xi'er has been recuperating in the East Chamber these days, Jun'er went to see when he went back, don't let people say that our Xiao family treats people meanly, pick and choose."
When the old lady saw that the Xiao Mansion was fine, she remembered the rules and decency of the Xiao Mansion again.
When Xiao Jun heard that Mengxi vomited blood, his hands couldn't help shaking, and he couldn't wait to fly to Xiao Xiangyuan immediately, but he also knew his grandmother's knot, so he didn't dare to show too much concern in front of his grandmother, so he endured the panic in his heart and said coldly:
"It's just that I'm vomiting blood, and I can't die, grandma doesn't have to be too concerned, Jun'er will go back first"
After Xiao Jun finished speaking, without waiting for his grandmother and father to say anything, he got up and saluted and walked out. Out of the second door, I just wanted to get on the sedan chair, but I saw that the jewel was waiting by the sedan chair, and when I saw Xiao Jun coming out, I hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"The slave maid asked the second master to say goodbye, the second master, the eldest lady has prepared a meal, and ordered the slave and maid to come and pick up the second master to eat"
Xiao Jun saw it, frowned, every time he came back, he didn't wait for him to return to Xiao Xiangyuan, the eldest lady sent someone to pick him up, he was extremely tired of it, but after all, it was his biological mother, Pepsi filial piety came first, he didn't come back after going out for many days, his mother missed his son, how could his son not go.
So every time he endured the unhappiness. Go to his mother's promise, but every time he goes, his cousin must be there to accompany him, which makes him gradually understand the purpose of his mother's invitation, thinking of Mengxi, deep down in his heart has a trace of dissatisfaction with his mother's approach, always his mother, even if he is dissatisfied, he has endured it.
But today I heard that Mengxi vomited blood, and he kept his heart, and at this time, he was even more like an arrow, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and after a moment of silence, Xiao Jun looked at Baozhu with his usual smile:
"I went back to my mother, just now the eldest man ordered some things, I have to deal with it overnight, today will not go, I will personally apologize to my mother another day"
"No matter how busy the second master is, he always has to eat, not to mention that the second master has been out for six or seven days, and the eldest lady ......"
"Go back early, don't keep your mother waiting"
Xiao Jun didn't wait for Baozhu to finish speaking, he had already raised his legs to get on the sedan chair, signaling to get up the sedan chair, Baozhu stood there and watched the sedan chair gradually move away, only then did he remember that the eldest lady was still waiting in the Heart Garden, and hurriedly turned around and walked back.
Xiao Jun sat in the sedan chair, urging the sedan chair driver to go quickly, several sedan chair drivers were already tired and sweaty, Xiao Jun could hear them panting in the sedan chair, but he still felt that the sedan chair was slow, Xiao Jun couldn't help it, and shouted: "Stop the sedan chair"
A few sedan chairs listened, stopped in a hurry, a break, the sedan chair almost overturned, the sedan chair man stabilized his mind, and finally stood firm, Xiao Jun did not wait for the sedan chair to stop, he had already jumped off the sedan chair, turned his head to the sedan chair man and said:
"Walk slowly in the back."
After speaking, he started his light work and ran towards Xiao Xiangyuan, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye, and several sedan chairmen looked at the aspect of the second master's departure in amazement:
This second master, in a hurry to reincarnate, actually practiced light skills at his own doorstep!
