It's just that no matter how compatible the external conditions are at this time, if the eldest brother doesn't like the county lord in his heart, then after the two of them get married, this family affair that everyone envies will become a tragedy.

And Fang Dongqiao obviously didn't want her eldest brother Fang Jingshu to live such an unhappy life, so tonight, should she take advantage of her eldest brother's drunkenness to ask her eldest brother what he really thinks?

It's just that Fang Dongqiao thought like this at this moment, but when it was time to put it into action, she retreated again.

She thought about it, what if the news came out of the set was something she couldn't bear?

She knows that she has never been in love once in her two lives, but because she has seen through too many couples who are flying separately when disaster is coming, so she doesn't believe in love, she doesn't believe it at all, so she is such a person who has no way to love people, if she finds out that the eldest brother really puts his mind on her, how can she marry such a good big brother? Thinking about it, he felt that it would be a matter of shame to his eldest brother, so when it came time to act, Fang Dongqiao decisively gave up.

It's better to let things freeze here, don't complicate this matter anymore, let the eldest brother always think that she doesn't know that his mind is better, so, after a long time, maybe he will forget it, so, as the years go by, he may be able to slowly cultivate a relationship with the county lord, and slowly become very happy.

Just like the eldest princess and Su Lige, they gradually got along and integrated in the ordinary days, and in the end, they were not grass and trees, and their feelings were released bit by bit, and they now have their own unique happiness.

As for the county lord, for a gentle and careful man like the eldest brother, he also likes it, otherwise, when the emperor gave the marriage, she was so favored by the county lord, and there were countless reasons to move out and resign the marriage, therefore, the current marriage, the county lord should be willing, and the only regret is that the eldest brother is here.

Fang Dongqiao thought, thinking, her eyes inadvertently drifted to the bright yellow on the desk, the emperor's decree on marriage, for some reason, she frowned again.

The eldest brother has vomited several times just now this night, and the hibiscus and green radish have been cleaned up several times, why is the eldest brother still groggy and not looking awake at this time.

Thinking of this, Fang Dongqiao's warm veil that was wiping Fang Jingshu's face paused, she looked at her eldest brother's drunken face, and gently brushed the wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Big brother, don't drink alcohol next time, it's hurting your body, do you know? Big brother, Qiao'er really wants you to live happily, you have to promise Qiao'er that you must live a very happy and happy life, so that Qiao'er can feel at ease and not feel guilty. ”

Fang Dongqiao muttered to herself, then sighed lightly, and instructed Mu Lian to bring the decanting soup for the eldest brother again, and some food, and also serve it together, she took the decanting soup herself, and fed Fang Jingshu a small spoon by spoon.

Maybe Fang Jingshu should wake up at this time, maybe it was the decanting soup that worked, Fang Jingshu coughed lightly and turned over from the couch and sat up, he had a headache on both sides of his temples, and then saw Fang Dongqiao on the side handing over the spoon, looking at him with a smile.

"Big brother, it doesn't taste good to be drunk, don't get drunk next time. You've got a better decanter now, but you still have to drink a little more. ”

Fang Dongqiao said, gave the decanting soup to Fang Jingshu, stared at him and wanted to drink it.

Seeing Fang Dongqiao staring at him like this, Fang Jingshu smiled bitterly, then took the bowl from Fang Dongqiao's hand and drank all the remaining decanting soup in one go. After drinking, Fang Dongqiao handed him a cotton towel soaked in hot water.

"Here, wipe it quickly, it's covered with hot sweat from the smell of alcohol, it should be uncomfortable now."

Fang Jingshu stared at the cotton towel that Fang Dongqiao insisted on delivering, so he had to take it obediently again, raised his hand and quickly wiped it, and then threw it into the basin on the side.

Fang Dongqiao looked at Fang Jingshu and was completely awake at this moment, but he could tell him about the matter, so he asked Fang Jingshu.

"Big brother, when you came back, the father-in-law told us that the eldest brother was married to the county lord Zhou Liyan by the emperor at the palace banquet tonight. Joel wants to know, what is the opinion of the eldest brother? Also, the father and mother asked Qiao'er to ask the eldest brother, does the marriage between the eldest brother and the county lord have to be prepared? ”

Fang Dongqiao's eyes looked towards the holy decree on the desk, and signaled the eldest brother to give the idea, after all, the emperor's holy decree for marriage was written on the top to let the eldest brother and the county lord get married three months later, so there is not much time left to prepare, so there are some things that the eldest brother should settle as soon as possible, so that the father and mother can give Zhang Luo according to the preferences of the eldest brother and the preferences of the county lord.

This Fang Jingshu followed Fang Dongqiao's gaze and saw the marriage decree, and his eyes couldn't help but dim a little.

"Qiao'er, the eldest brother drank too much tonight, and he lost his temper a little, so Qiao'er saw the joke. But Qiao Er rest assured, the eldest brother will not be so drunk in the future, and he will not let the family worry anymore. ”

Speaking of this, he changed the topic and said: "As for the marriage between the eldest brother and the county lord, just let the mother watch it, as long as it meets the rules, you don't need to prepare anything out of your way, the eldest brother doesn't care about this kind of formal thing, Qiao Er asked her father and mother not to work too hard to show the eldest brother's preferences and the county lord's preferences, these objects or something, the eldest brother and the county lord will not care too much." ”

Fang Dongqiao's heart was sullen when he heard that his eldest brother didn't care about anything. Is it really a reluctant marriage of the eldest brother? In that case, why does Big Brother have to go next? Is there no other way?

"Big brother, Qiao Er looked at the eldest brother as if he didn't want to marry the county lord, if that was the case, Qiao Er felt that it was better to find another way and push off this marriage. Maybe, maybe Qiao'er can go and talk to the county lord, maybe after the county lord listens to it, maybe he will agree to Qiao'er, and he will not be sure if he pushes the eldest brother. ”

Fang Dongqiao said this, but Fang Jingshu shook his head.

"In this matter, the emperor has decreed marriage, not just words. At this time, all the ministers of civil and military affairs knew that the emperor had issued this decree of marriage, even if the relationship between the county lord and Qiao Er was good, she would not have the courage to stand up and withdraw from this family business at this time. ”

"What's more, the county lord herself is not willing to withdraw from such a marriage at all, because the enemy country has sent a message and intends to marry the Qin and Jin dynasties with the Great Zhou Dynasty, so in this way, in the suitable royal family, the age of the county lord and the age of the third princess is suitable, and the emperor has long promised that the third princess will not let her go to the marriage, so this matter of harmony is likely to fall on the county lord. It's just that I don't know why, the emperor finally changed his mind and gave the county lord a marriage to his eldest brother, but he didn't send her to the enemy country to make peace. In this case, even if it is not the eldest brother, but anyone else, the county lord will be happy to agree. So Qiao'er, don't bother, and don't go to the county lord at this time, because this matter is a foregone conclusion. ”

What's more, Fang Jingshu knew in his heart that this holy decree was clearly prepared by the emperor a long time ago, and at the palace banquet, it was just Concubine De who jokingly said that the county lord was old, and it was time for a wishful husband to match, so the emperor laughed and teased him a few words, and then asked him about his family affairs as if he had unintentionally, and asked and asked, and this marriage decree came to his head.

If this is not something that the emperor has planned a long time ago, then the emperor has just said a joke at that time, so it is impossible to immediately let the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi take out the holy decree and announce it, in this case, what else can Fang Jingshu say? Can he resist disrespect? Can he afford it?

The answer, obviously, is that he can't afford it.

Once he resists the order, the county lord's face will be damaged, and the emperor will definitely be furious, not to mention that the Bai family, who has just been rehabilitated, will be implicated again, not to mention, even the Fang family, I am afraid that because of his disrespect, the family will have to go to prison.

In this way, Fang Jingshu at that time, apart from pretending to be happy to respond to this will, was there anything else he could do for his family?

No, nothing else, no more.

What he can do is to agree to the emperor's marriage, marry the county lord within three months, and then from then on, with the county lord's support, the Fang family can naturally be protected by the emperor from now on, so that the family can be stable, what is the point of sacrificing his lifelong happiness?

It's just that his lifelong happiness has been set like this, and he doesn't even have a chance to turn around, and it's impossible to stay by Qiao'er's side silently.

Under such circumstances, he originally wanted another person to be able to guard Qiao Er so well, but that person, like him, was cut off from Qiao Er by a holy decree at this moment.

Thinking about it, Fang Jingshu's eyes were a little more sad, and the expression on his face was very dull.

And Fang Dongqiao listened to Fang Jingshu's words, looking at Fang Jingshu's expression, obviously a little misunderstood.

When the eldest brother said this, Qiao'er understood. If the emperor hadn't changed his mind, it would not have been the third princess who should have gone to kiss at this time, but the county lord, right? ”

Since there was only the possibility of choosing one of the two, Fang Dongqiao naturally thought so, but Fang Jingshu's next words made Fang Dongqiao startled.

"Qiao'er, you misunderstood. The emperor did not let the third princess go to make peace. ”

"Didn't the eldest brother just say that it is appropriate, except for the county lord, it is the third princess?" Fang Dongqiao was puzzled.

"How could the emperor let the third princess go to kiss, he had already calculated it, it would be of great use to keep her as a princess, your eldest brother and I didn't understand until tonight."

Fang Jingshu said, the bitterness at the corner of his mouth became heavier.

When Fang Dongqiao saw Fang Jingshu say this, he seemed to understand something. "Could it be that there is another candidate for the person sent to make peace?"
