Chapter 226: Preparation
Faced with the completely different reactions of his grandfather and grandson, Li Yao was not only happy in his heart, but also happy.
Anyway, the more Dong Cheng forced a face, the happier Li Yao was in his heart, standing there and enjoying for a while, Li Yao stepped forward, pretended to reach out and patted Dong Cheng's shoulder, under Dong Cheng's speechless gaze, Li Yao sneered: "Young man, it is inevitable to be impulsive, I don't blame you for the previous things, uncle, we will be a family in the future, we have to help each other, you say yes?"
"Feng Xiaobao, you ......" Dong Cheng said angrily.
"Cheng'er, don't be rude. Dong Cheng stood aside and scolded Dong Cheng.
Although Dong Cheng was dissatisfied with Li Yao, he didn't dare to be rude to his respected grandfather at all, Dong Cheng scolded him like this, and he dared to say a word?
Li Yao was overjoyed, and said to Dong Yan: "Then father-in-law, I came here this time, firstly, to propose marriage, and secondly, to convey the meaning of the Queen Mother. ”
"In the early days, the Queen Mother also discussed with the old man, Mingzhu is almost thirty, the Queen Mother and the old man I think it is better to finish her marriage as soon as possible, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, just get married tonight, and then hold a wedding banquet from Jane, no need to be extravagant and wasteful. Dong Yan smiled and nodded, and added.
Li Yao immediately pulled his face, looked at him in surprise, and thought, it turns out that this old guy has discussed with Wu Zetian early in the morning, no wonder he was full of smiles when he saw him come in, and then there is, Wu Zetian gave him a righteous mansion so quickly, it turned out that it was because he had discussed a good relationship with Dong Zetian early in the morning!
Li Yao was still puzzled before, why did Wu Zetian give him the mansion so quickly! But now! Li Yao was completely relieved, and both of them had arranged this matter, so what more nonsense did Li Yao have? Hurriedly hugged Dong Yan's fist, Li Yao said solemnly: "Even if the father-in-law has already discussed it with the Queen Mother, then Xiaobao will be completely up to the father-in-law, the Queen Mother." ”
"Okay, then you go back to the house and make preparations! Dong nodded happily and opened his mouth to command Li Yao.
"Yes, father-in-law. Li Yao responded respectfully.
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, no more, after a while, Li Yao's figure disappeared outside the Taishu Mansion, until Li Yao completely left, Dong Cheng asked in Dong Yan's ear: "Grandpa, I really don't understand, why do you want to agree to this marriage, although my aunt is not young, but she is so beautiful, and her status is not bad, if you want to marry, you should marry a dignitary, in order to be worthy of your aunt's identity, marry him such a character from a gangster, grandpa, don't you have to feel that you have treated your aunt badly?" ”
"This is all the queen mother's meaning! Otherwise, what do you want me to do?" Dong Yan asked angrily.
"What is the Queen Mother thinking?" Dong Cheng spread his hands, looking puzzled.
Dong Yan stood there with a long sigh and fell silent.
After a long while, he said to Dong Cheng with deep meaning: "It seems that you still don't know how to figure out the holy will! Do you really think that the Queen Mother is thinking that Mingzhu is old and not yet married, and she is anxious for her, so she gives her a marriage?"
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Dong Cheng asked.
"Do you know that the Queen Mother has privately asked Xue Shao, the master of the horse, to recognize him as her uncle?"
Dong Cheng was still depressed, but when he heard Dong Yan's words, the depression in his heart disappeared all at once, replaced by a burst of confusion and surprise, he really couldn't understand what the Queen Mother was doing this for, and she actually let the dignified master of the horse recognize Li Yao as an uncle from a gangster, this is simply an unimaginable thing! How can Dong Cheng not be surprised?
Seeing Dong Cheng's puzzled look, Dong Yan hated iron in his heart, and scolded: "You Feng Pavilion has been an official for many years, and you still don't know how to think deeply, compared to that Feng Xiaobao, you are really more than a star and a half behind, no wonder Feng Xiaobao can be trusted and reused by the Queen Mother so much, look at yourself, you are still a Zhonglang, and you have no interest at all." ”
"Grandpa......" Dong Cheng was speechless.
"Let me tell you! The Queen Mother is not a drunkard, she asked Mingzhu to marry that Feng Xiaobao, just to hide people's eyes, think about it, once Feng Xiaobao has a family, plus he is the uncle of the concubine, in the future, he will enter and leave the palace, which of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will have to gossip? At that time, the Queen Mother can do whatever she wants to do with him, and she is not comfortable? Can't you even guess this?" Dong Yan explained to Dong Cheng in a reprimanding tone.
When Dong Cheng heard this, he wanted to understand the whole thing, and he had been doing it for a long time, all of this was just arranged by Wu Zetian, and the purpose was to facilitate the matter between her and Li Yao! It is no wonder why Wu Zetian was in such a hurry to give Li Yao's mansion and let him marry his aunt very quickly.
After thinking about these things in his heart, Dong Cheng also nodded with relief, and said to Dong Yan: "Grandpa, I understand, I will be polite to that Feng Xiaobao in the future, think that everyone can call him uncle, and I, Dong Cheng, call him uncle, so what?"
"That's right, the big husband can bend and stretch, that is the person who can do great things, then Feng Xiaobao is definitely the person who can bend and stretch, otherwise he would not have today, at this point, you have to learn from him. Dong Ren nodded with satisfaction and told Dong Cheng.
"Isn't it the same as having to be a widow if my aunt marries in the future?" Dong Cheng was worried about Dong Mingzhu.
Dong Yan is also very impatient with this, he knows in his heart that Wu Zetian is using his daughter as a cover, but he doesn't dare not agree, first, Dong Mingzhu is indeed old, and he is still not married, which makes him anxious, and secondly, he doesn't dare to go against Wu Zetian now, he must listen to her and stand on her side.
Based on the above three points, Dong Yan had no choice but to do this family business, and he hoped that Li Yao would be better to his daughter in the future, at least not let her stay alone and widowed, then it would be fine.
Dong Cheng saw that Dong was silent, he was also knowledgeable and didn't say any more, the grandfather and grandson stood in the hall like this, looking at the sky outside the hall and becoming silent, thinking a lot in their hearts.
And what about Li Yao? After leaving the Taishu Mansion, he rode back to the Yifu quickly, when Li Yao entered the Yifu, the Yifu was already full of people coming and going, no longer deserted, Li Yao nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, Yan Hong and Ling Hong are worthy of being female officials in the palace, the two of them acted so quickly, he left less than three hours, the two of them invited so many subordinates and maids, and Li Yao had to admire the ability of the two of them.
Just as Li Yao was standing in the courtyard, secretly admiring Yan Hong and Ling Hong's two daughters, An Yuyin suddenly walked out of the hall in the front yard, just bumping into Li Yao, and the two met, but at this time they looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say to each other.
Li Yao was still thick-skinned, and after standing there stunned for a while, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to An Yuyin, "How long have you been here?"
"Just after a while, Ling'er and Miss Ying also came, and after the two of them heard that you were going to marry the eldest lady of the Dong family, they said that they would come with me to help you prepare. An Yuyin lowered her head and replied to Li Yao with a feeling of discomfort.
Li Yao looked at her so uncomfortable and wronged, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable he was in his heart, he must know that he was going to marry Dong Mingzhu, such a fact was a blow to An Yuyin, and Li Yao didn't want to do this, but the form forced Li Yao had no way at all.
At this time, what else could he say to perfunctory An Yuyin and make her a little happier? With a long sigh, Li Yao had to say bitterly: "I'm sorry Leopard Flower, I didn't marry you, but I want to marry Dong Mingzhu, it's all my fault, it's me who is sorry for you." ”
"Don't talk about this, on the way here, the two younger sisters Yan Hong and Ling Hong have already told me the truth, and I also know that you were forced by the Queen Mother, all of this was arranged by the Queen Mother, and you have no choice, so I don't blame you, as long as I can stay by your side in the future, it will be enough." An Yuyin suddenly stretched out her little hand to cover Li Yao's mouth, looked up at Li Yao, and replied to Li Yao affectionately.
Li Yao's eyes were red on the spot when he was moved by An Yuyin, and he didn't think much about it, under this emotion, Li Yao directly stretched out his arms, hugged An Yuyin into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Thank you for your understanding." ”
"Don't be like this, it's not good to be seen, you have to get married tonight, you have to prepare well, it's not a few hours before dark, you hurry up and prepare! We also have to decorate the new house for you." An Yuyin hurriedly stretched out her hand to push Li Yao away and replied gently.
"I'm going to the palace tonight, and I won't be in the palace. Li Yao spread his hands and explained to An Yuyin with a bitter face.
An Yuyin stared at Li Yao in surprise, thinking to herself, does the Queen Mother really need your service so much?
Thinking like this in her heart, An Yuyin didn't ask, but after looking at Li Yao for a while, she withdrew her gaze and said to Li Yao quietly: "Okay, but the cave room still has to be a cave room, and don't let the eldest lady of the family stay alone on the wedding night, so as not to spread the word and fall into the handle." ”
"Do you really want me to have a cave room with her?" Li Yaole laughed and asked An Yuyin in a mocking tone.
