Chapter 2 Negotiations with the Mother's Family
It is said that Fan Xian and his entourage have already left Hangzhou and come to Wuzhou for almost half a month, but this matter, except for reporting to the emperor, has not been revealed, so the people of Wuzhou do not know about this matter.
But there are no absolute secrets in the world, especially when you go back to your hometown to visit relatives, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone. Therefore, it is not unimaginable that the first apprentice of the Northern Qi National Master and the number one master in the palace, Lord Wolf Tao, knows Fan Xian's traces.
And the southward journey of the wolf peach involves an extremely interesting problem.
From the beginning of the sixth year of Qingli, the Northern Qi Holy Maiden Begonia went down to the south of the Yangtze River alone to meet Fan Xian, and the story of these months has already spread all over the north and south of the river, especially under Fan Xian's deliberate arrangement, under the spread of rumors, all the people believed that between Fan Xian, the minister of the Southern Dynasty, and the Holy Maiden Begonia of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was such an inexplicable, warm and warm relationship.
Just as Fan Xian was on that bed, the situation that Zhang was worried about and Haitang was similar, such a romantic story between men and women was not so surprising that it touched the minds of too many people, and Nanqing had no reaction in this regard, and Beiqi couldn't hold his breath.
Begonia is the favorite apprentice of Kuhe, the closest little aunt of the Northern Qi Emperor, and the most beloved younger of the Northern Qi Empress Dowager.
Such an outstanding woman, such a strange woman who is responsible for taking on the role of the subjects of the Northern Qi Dynasty and improving the morale of the whole country in the image of a celestial vein, is a ...... in the legend I want to marry Nanqing!
This fact made the people of Northern Qi angry, and also made the royal family of Northern Qi anxious, and those people in the upper position naturally knew Fan Xian's status in Nanqing, and also knew that Fan Xian played a disgraceful role in that incident - the emperor of Northern Qi admired Fan Xian very much, and hypothetically, at least he was also a fan of Shiji, referred to as Shi Fan, how could it be that although the Empress Dowager was not very old, she was a little stubborn, and she would not allow this to happen.
On the heavy issue, on the issue of the Uesugi Tiger, on the issue of the commander of the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, the young emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty has successfully forced his mother to make concessions, but in this kind of issue involving marriage and face, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty is still full of strength when she says a word, and the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty cannot hold on.
What's more, in that extremely deep ideological abyss, the little emperor of Northern Qi did not necessarily want Haitang to marry into the Fan Mansion.
First, there is the problem of the millions of taels of silver, and second, there is the problem of the little emperor's mind.
So the little emperor remained silent on this issue, but it was the queen mother who was in charge.
The queen mother's opinion is very simple, how can a dignified saint of a country be involved in those filthy rumors and cannot extricate herself, how can her favorite Duoduo marry Fan Xian's scoundrel without a name.
So she sent a group of people led by Wolf Tao to invite Begonia back to Northern Qi, and at the same time, she also found a marriage for Begonia that seemed to be a good match.
In short, no matter what, you can't let Haitang marry Fan Xian.
This is what the whole country of Northern Qi reads.
............ Regarding the marriage of Haitang, the Queen Mother is the son of the Marquis of Changning, her own nephew, the head of Jinyi Wei, Lord Weihua, the two are close in age, and Wei Hua is indeed a capable minister, and his status is high, and he is indeed a good match.
It's just that Wei Hua is not a fool, first, he definitely doesn't want to marry a woman who is more powerful than himself into the family, and second, he definitely doesn't want to offend Fan Xian on this issue, as everyone knows, Fan Xian inherited a quirk from Chen Pingping, that is, absolute protection of shortcomings, absolute revenge.
What kind of enmity is this? Wei Hua always thought about the things Fan Xian did in Northern Qi, even if he was surrounded by Jinyi Wei's guards, he was still a little cold.
But no matter whether Wei Hua wanted to marry or not, he didn't have the courage to disobey the will of the Queen Mother, so he had to send his own handwritten letter to the Supervision Yuan in the south through Jinyi's secret letter, explaining the matter to Fan Xian, and at the same time reminding him of the matter, and taking himself out first.
However, the people who went south still came, including the wolf peach who didn't eat oil and salt, and the female apprentice of the wolf peach, Wei Hua's sister Wei Yingning.
Wei Yingning loves Begonia, just like all the women in Northern Qi, she has always thought that the Tisi of the Supervision Yuan in the south used some shady means to leave Begonia in Suzhou, when she learned that the Queen Mother had a decree to make Aunt Begonia her sister-in-law, she was the happiest person, so after coming to Qingguo, she became the most angry person.
............ From another point of view, what Fan Xian did and what he said was an unbearable humiliation for Haitang's future husband, the Marquis of Changning's mansion, which is why Wei Yingning was so impulsive.
She is impulsive, which does not mean that her master Wolf Tao will also be impulsive.
Wolf Tao is the first disciple of the bitter lotus, and the world can say that the powerful horn sรจ, of course, he knows what the queen mother let her party send to Nanqing for, so after crossing the Wudu River, she went all the way south, but stopped in Wuzhou, and did not go directly to Suzhou to pick up Begonia and return to China.
Whether Begonia can go back or not is not only a matter of Senior Sister Begonia, but also a matter of the young man in front of him.
Wolf Tao looked at Fan Xian's delicate face, and couldn't help but sigh, if these people go to Suzhou to take Haitang back to China, whether the junior sister herself wants to or not, but without Fan Xian's permission, this feud will definitely be settled.
Today, the world knows that the little Fan of Nanqing and the holy daughter of the Northern Qi are a pair made in heaven.
is as proud as a wolf peach, and he doesn't dare to stimulate Fan Xian too much on this issue. Without Fan Xian's permission, they wanted to take Haitang back to Northern Qi, and they were also afraid that they would face the pursuit and encirclement of the Nanqing army, so he let the group stay in Wuzhou, wanting to meet Fan Xian and report the matter.
But...... Fan Xian knew that these people had to be in Wuzhou, but he kept avoiding them.
This is also normal, if you know that your wife's maiden family sent someone to let her wife marry someone else, who has the time to pay attention to it in Northern Qi? It would be good if you didn't send an army to kill the other party completely.
This is the background and prelude to the series of conflicts in the restaurant.
............ Everyone in the restaurant in the Northern Qi Dynasty heard Fan Xian's frivolous words, especially what aunt and uncle...... I couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that the people of Nanqing were really shameless, and people like Fan Xian couldn't get out of the ordinary, every time they acted in a lowly manner, how could they talk about men and women without the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker?
Wolf Tao was a person who understood Fan Xian, smiled bitterly, and said, "You know that this matter is impossible, why are you so persistent?"
Fan Xian rubbed his nose, as if there was something unpleasant smelling in it, and said with a sneer: "Senior brother, I don't know what you are talking about. โ
Wolf Tao is the elder brother of Begonia, Fan Xian is more respectful in his words because of this, but when these words fell into Wei Yingning's ears, he couldn't help but be a little excited, he was really ...... The other party's niece.
Wolf Tao thought about it, smiled, clapped his hands, and asked his disciples to withdraw from the restaurant.
Fan Xian also smiled, lifted his placket, and naturally sat directly opposite the other party. A subordinate of the Supervision Yuan had already served tea, and the two sat opposite the table, relatively speechless.
Half a moment later, Wolf Tao said gently: "You have been avoiding it, I always have to go to Suzhou." โ
Fan Xian nodded and said with a smile: "The scenery of Suzhou is good, Duoduo and I often go shopping, and we both like it very much." โ
Wolf Tao's eyes condensed slightly, and he turned to say: "There are many things, and it is not that you can do what you want. โ
Fan Xian avoided answering, and said directly: "In my life, there is nothing I want to do but can't do. โ
The so-called words are not speculative, and there are more than half a sentence, Wolf Tao's eyebrows furrowed, I don't know what to do with the scoundrel in front of him, he can guess some of Haitang's thoughts, so he feels more and more that the task issued by the Queen Mother is a little tricky.
Fan Xian glanced at him, chuckled and said, "The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi asked you to go to Suzhou, and you will go...... As for whether you can pick people up, what does it have to do with you?"
Wolf Tao listened to this and thought for a while, but instead laughed, with a hint of unfathomable meaning in his smile: "You are so confident, do you conclude that Duoduo will not return to China with me?"
Fan Xian was silent and didn't say anything, in this matter, Haitang's will occupies an absolutely important position, and no one can change anything, whether it is the country of Northern Qi or herself, she is only trying to influence her choice.
Wolf Tao said softly: "Maybe you are wrong, I came to Wuzhou to see you, I didn't need you to help me persuade her...... I just wanted you to know that we were going to take her back, and that was a matter of etiquette, not asking for your consent. โ
Fan Xian's teeth gritted slightly, and he said coldly: "Her problem, isn't it my problem." โ
"I'm just afraid...... That's not what she thought. Wolf Tao looked at her with a smile, "I am the elder brother who watched her grow up since childhood, although you are now friendly with her, but what she really thinks, I'm afraid I still have to know a little ...... She is a proud person, think about it, will she stay in Suzhou forever?"
Fan Xian was silent again, he knew that what Wolf Tao said was right, Duoduo looked like a village girl and acted gently, but in his bones he had cultivated a strong self-confidence because of his strong ability...... With pride, it is indeed difficult to let such a woman wait for herself in Suzhou.
The most important thing is...... Fan Xian asked himself if he couldn't promise anything to the other party so far.
This is a love story, this is the story of a stallion, in fact, this is just a story between people, some gloomy, some helpless.
"She is from Northern Qi. Wolf Tao stared at Fan Xian's eyes and said softly: "This is not a concept imposed on her, but the understanding she has formed since childhood, when her own direction conflicts with the interests of the people of the court, how she will choose, you should be able to guess." โ
Fan Xian suddenly opened his mouth and frowned, "How can you ever respect her opinion. โ
"Not true. Wolf Tao retorted very directly: "It's just...... You've been influencing her opinion. โ
Fan Xian was a little angry, slapped the table and said, "You people are also unreasonable. โ
Wolf Tao looked at him and didn't say a word, and after a long time, he broke his silence and said with a sneer: "What can you give my junior sister?" I don't care what the Queen Mother thinks, how the Master thinks...... If you can marry her, I'll be on your side!"
This sentence is loud and powerful, and it is undoubted.
Fan Xian responded: "I worked hard to make such a situation, so that I naturally married her." โ
Wolf Tao smiled and said, "How do you marry?
............ This is in Wuzhou, Lin Ruofu's hometown, Fan Xian is Wuzhou's uncle, Wan'er's hometown...... Whether Lin Wan'er is a begonia or a begonia, it is impossible to be a concubine, and Fan Xian himself has no solution to this problem. A long time ago, he once laughed at the eldest princess, thinking that the other party's gaze was limited, because the other party had ass limitations, and now he found out that he also had limitations.
I am not as good as Ye Qingmei, I am not as good as that mother, I sat in this world with my ass, but I have no way to break through the resistance of the world for the time being.
Looking at Fan Xian's expression, Wolf Tao smiled faintly: "Come to Wuzhou, just to inform you in the spirit of etiquette, after all, in Nanqing, you have the closest relationship with us, and these things are always difficult to hide from you...... To tell you the truth, if we arrive in Suzhou, Duoduo will definitely go with us. โ
Fan Xian was silent, thinking about Duoduo's heart and love, knowing that what Wolf Tao said was good, Duoduo is a person...... Too smart, so stupid, too compassionate, so too cruel to yourself...... "You guys go to Suzhou." โ
Fan Xian didn't know if he had figured out something, and said with a smile, but at this time it was Wolf Tao's turn to be stunned.
Fan Xian said gently: "I figured it out, it's always bad to be too selfish in this matter, and it's not good to let her bear the pressure of a country...... Let's go back, it's like going back to my mother's house. โ
Wolf Tao sniffed a hint of uncertainty in his words.
Fan Xian continued to smile and said, "What about going back to Northern Qi? Do you know your junior sister...... How could she marry Wei Hua...... Your queen mother thinks too simply. Wolf Tao snorted.
Fan Xian closed his eyes slightly, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Even if you invite the Kuhe National Master to come out, Haitang will be forced to marry...... But ......"
"But what?"
"But...... Who else in this world would dare to marry her?"
Fan Xian stared at Wolf Tao's eyes, and said the most arrogant sentence since his rebirth, he sneered, sneered, and said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that she is my woman...... Who dares to offend me to marry her? Wei Hua, does he have the guts?"
............ There was a deathly silence in the restaurant, the breeze outside the building came slowly, blowing the sweat on the two of them, Wolf Tao was silent for a while, and tasted the meaning of the jade burning in Fan Xian's words, and couldn't help laughing: "I really can't understand you as a person...... Why do you have to make this so horrible thing? โ
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "There are many things that seem small to you, but they are big in my opinion. โ
Wolf Tao was silent again, and after a long time, he said with a wry smile: "What a naughty joke." โ
It's really a naughty joke, and the two of them are not talking about a side matter, but just a matter involving that woman.
Wolf Tao looked at Fan Xian's quiet eyes, and said with a chuckle: "In this Wuzhou City, such things are being discussed...... Aren't you afraid that Lin Xiangye will feel uncomfortable and the county lord will not be happy?" This is Fan Xian's fatal injury, the reason why Wolf Tao dared to block him with words before was because of this, he expected that Fan Xian would not dare to say something confidently.
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, ignored him, and only sneered: "I have seen you today, why don't you go to Suzhou yet?" Do you want me to accompany you......?" Before the stone wall of Xishan last year, the man in black, is it you?" These words came too steeply and suddenly, so that Fan Xian couldn't react a little, but the training he had received since he was a child was really solid, and his face was stunned, and he responded: "What man in black?"
Regarding Xishan, about Sean, and about the temple, Fan Xian had already confessed to Haitang, and from Haitang's mouth, he knew that the Kuhe National Master had already discovered the problem...... But this kind of thing can't be admitted even if you die, and if you can stand up to it for a while, it's a while.
Fan Xian believes in Begonia, she will definitely not betray herself on such a critical issue.
Sure enough, Wolf Tao didn't ask anymore, but said softly: "Since that's the case, then I won't say it anymore, I'll go to Suzhou, you're in Wuzhou, I just hope that there won't be any problems after Rรฌ." โ
............ There must be problems.
Fan Xian calmed down and said softly: "There will be problems, if you dare to ignore her wishes...... No matter who it is, even if it is your master, if you force her to marry, believe me...... Really, trust me. โ
Very gentle words, but Wolf Tao's heart was a little cold, he had reached the realm of the ninth grade, and naturally he had already seen that although Fan Xian had entered the realm abnormally in the past half a year, he was still not as old and spicy as himself, but listening to these gentle and gentle words, he still couldn't help but feel cold.
"Believe in you?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "If you dare to force my second wife to marry, I will definitely find a way to destroy your Northern Qi." โ
Wolf Tao was silent, no matter whether Fan Xian's threat could be implemented or not, but with the relationship between the other party and Northern Qi, if such an important person was strongly invested in Nanqing's iron-blooded faction, it would still be a loss that no one could bear.
"Trust me. So Wolf Tao also said gently: "I won't let my junior sister marry someone she doesn't want to marry." โ
Fan Xian thought about it, smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook it with Wolf Tao's thick and powerful hand: "This is a man's promise." โ
A smile suddenly flashed in Wolf Tao's eyes: "Maybe it's not just a man's." โ
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, no longer paying attention, and just said, "Answer your previous question...... Regarding the matter of Duoduo, I just followed my father-in-law's advice, whether I could marry her or not, at least ...... No one else can be allowed to marry her. โ
Fan Xian's father-in-law is naturally Lin Ruofu, Lin Wan'er's father, I didn't expect this old man to set such a rule for Fan Xian, which I am afraid no one could have imagined.
