Chapter 84 Conditions
The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense and suffocating because of the stalemate between Xu Changting and Yuan Hong.
Facing the most powerful man in the Great Wei State today, the emperor Yuan Hong of the Great Wei State, Xu Changting in front of his mother with sweaty palms, as well as his father with a dignified face, and Gao Zhaorong, who was also frowning, ignored the second sister Xu Wengently tugging at his sleeve, and talked to Yuan Hong for a while.
If you can't do it in accordance with the royal etiquette system, then my eldest sister will wait until she enters the door of Xuanwang's Mansion, and she doesn't know what kind of bullying she will be subjected to in the future, won't she be looked down upon by others?
And with such a hasty marriage, isn't the royal face important? What will the people of the world think of the royal majesty?
Facing Yuan Hong's gradually gloomy expression, Xu Changting looked fearless, and finally said: "The royal family wants to marry in a low-key manner, yes, our family is willing to take a step back." But how to marry a daughter in our family is our family's own business, and we must do it beautifully. As a woman, I am afraid that there will be such a major event in my life in my life, and I will never let my eldest sister marry with regrets and grievances! ”
Originally, Xu Wenrou was just tugging on Xu Changting's sleeve, but at some point, Xu Wenrou changed to holding Xu Changting's hand tightly to show support, and at the same time, while being moved, he couldn't help but fantasize: If one day he really wants to get married, will the younger brother fight for himself like he treats the eldest sister today? Do you also hope that you can marry in a beautiful way without any grievances and regrets?
Xu Changhong frowned, watching her little brother fight for his own reasons in the face of the most powerful emperor in the world, and she was already moved in her heart, but she also knew that at this time, she must not speak out, because no matter whether she supported Xu Changting or followed the emperor's thoughts, she would make the other side unhappy because of herself.
What's more, compared to marrying into the royal family, she is also more inclined to stand on the younger brother's side between the two disputes, even if she will not marry for life.
Gao Zhaorong looked at Yuan Hong with a gloomy face with some embarrassment, and on the other side, Chu Ying was also nervous, holding Xu Zhongli's sleeve tightly, the back of her white hand was full of green tendons, and it could be seen that her heart was full of nervousness and uneasiness because of Xu Changting's opposition.
"Xu Changting, do you think I won't clean you up? Do you think you're already familiar with me? That's why you can be so presumptuous in front of me! Disrespectful? Yuan Hong was silent for a while, and then said coldly.
"I don't have the guts to resist disrespect, I'm just ...... I'm just asking for our family's right to marry a daughter. You are the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, and you have long heard how wise, tolerant and ......generous the emperor is today. Xu Changting's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he blinked his eyes and began to talk nonsense.
Yuan Hong didn't wait for Xu Changting to praise him, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Don't come to this set in front of me, if you want to slap my sycophants, you Xu Changting is not qualified enough!" ”
As Yuan Hong said this, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly relaxed, and almost Xu Zhongli and Gao Zhaorong were worried about it, fearing that Xu Changting would anger the current emperor.
But as Yuan Hong didn't give Xu Changting a chance to pat him on the back, the other people present were obedient and listened, and they all instantly understood that in the face of Xu Changting's "almost unreasonable" arguments, Yuan Hong seemed to ...... Didn't really get angry.
"Anyway, not only does the media have to marry, but you have to do it in a big way, otherwise what will happen to the royal face? Our Xu family is a small family, so we don't care, but what is the identity of King Xuan......? Seeing that Yuan Hong was not really angry, Xu Changting naturally wanted to hit the snake with the stick, not to mention that when this trick was used in Banlong Village, it worked very well on Yuan Hong's body.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me, how do you want to marry a girl?" Yuan Hong snorted angrily, then looked at Xu Zhongli, who was speechless, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Hmph, Xu Changting, what I know is that you are fighting for your sister's scenery, I don't know, hum, I thought you were going to marry a daughter!" ”
The latter words, although they were said by looking at Xu Changting, no matter how they sounded, it seemed like they were listening to Xu Zhongli, as if they were sarcastic Xu Zhongli When Yuan Hong and Xu Changting were arguing, Xu Zhongli actually chose not to say a word.
"Three books, six ceremonies, three media and six appointments, no one is missing, and when the time comes, why will you have to carry a sedan chair eight times......?" Xu Changting said.
It's just that he didn't wait for Xu Changting to finish speaking, Yuan Hong couldn't help Xu Changting, a little profiteer, and he really regretted it, why did he loosen up just now and give this little profiteer a chance to gain an inch!
So he simply stopped listening to Xu Changting's nonsense, and said calmly: "Xue Wuxian, throw this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky and inches into the sky!" ”
"Your Majesty ......." Gao Zhaorong, Xu Zhongli and his wife almost pleaded in unison.
The three of them, including Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou, didn't expect that the atmosphere was already good just now, why did this suddenly change again.
Xue Wuxian immediately strode in, and when he came to Xu Changting, he saw that Xu Changting did not have the slightest fear at all, and stretched out a finger to point at Xue Wuxian and warn: "I tell you Xue Wuxian, you'd better not touch me, you ...... If you dare to touch me, I will lie on the ground at once, and my body will be tossed by you...... You should know it yourself, right? ”
Xue Wuxian, who was about to reach out to catch Xu Changting, heard Xu Changting's warning of being such a scoundrel and slanderer, and finally couldn't help but look at Yuan Hong.
And at this moment, Wang Xianghe's voice came from outside the door, and then I saw Xuan Wang Yuanke walking in in a hurry, Junxiu's face was even full of joy, and he didn't notice some tense atmosphere in the hall, and immediately saluted Yuan Hong and Gao Zhaorong, and then turned to look at Xu Zhongli and his wife.
After finishing the salute and looking at Xu Changhong, Yuan Ke was shocked to realize that this ...... The atmosphere in the hall seems to be different from what I imagined.
I saw that Yuan Hong was actually gloomy, and his mother was also faintly sad, and the expression on Xu Zhongli Xu's face was also very solemn, especially Xu Changhong's mother's face, which was full of nervousness and anxiety.
Xue Wuxian was actually standing behind Xu Zhongli and his wife, with one hand stretched out in the air at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Yuan Hong's face was gloomy at this time, and he glared fiercely at Xu Changting, who was about to play a scoundrel, and said coldly: "What? Do you still want to be false? ”
"Then I don't dare, but my body is ...... Aunt Yuan knows, she must not be able to withstand Xue Wuxian's toss, if you let him throw me outside, I think...... Your daughter-in-law is ....... Xu Changting was not afraid of Yuan Hong at all, and finally began to threaten Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! Little profiteer, you really want to kick your nose in the face, don't you? ”
As Yuan Hong slapped the table, the other people in the hall were better, but Yuan Ke, who had just come in, was really taken aback, and even his face changed all of a sudden.
But what surprised him even more was that after his father was angry at Xu Changting, a smile appeared on his face again, and his tone became relaxed, first waving his hand at Xue Wuxian to signal him to go out.
Then he said to Xu Changting, who was pale: "Xu Changting, if you want me to promise King Xuan to marry your eldest sister, and you will marry your eldest sister in ...... scenery." ”
"Just say the conditions, as long as I can do it, I guarantee ......." As soon as he was halfway through the words, Xu Changting, whose eyes rolled, was suddenly stunned, looked at the meaningful and intrigue look on Yuan Hong's face, swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and said a little nervously: "Can you change the condition?" Banlong's wine, medicine, and fat powder, even including Banlong Academy, I ...... I'm willing to trade it for it. ”
"Do you think this condition can be changed?" Yuan Hong had a smile on his face.
Xu Zhongli and Chu Ying were confused at the moment, and they didn't know what dumb riddles the two were playing.
Xu Changhong, Xu Wenrou and Yuan Ke, who had just come in, were even more confused.
Only Gao Zhaorong, after lowering her head and pondering, seemed to have guessed the tacit conditions of the two, and this also made her even more shocked by Xu Changting, this little profiteer is too smart, right? I guessed the emperor's intentions at once!
However, when they were thinking of being by the river, when they showed their identities to Xu Changting, they only made a few reminders, Xu Changting guessed their identities at once, and Gao Zhaorong was immediately relieved, but she was still a little shocked Xu Changting's cleverness and cleverness, after all, the reason why she was able to guess Yuan Hong's conditions was the understanding accumulated by the husband and wife in the past 20 years of living together, so that she could quickly guess Yuan Hong's conditions.
Looking at Xu Changting, who did not show a dignified look even when arguing with himself, at this moment in the face of the conditions he offered, he finally showed a dignified expression, Yuan Hong is dragon heart Dayue, picked up the teacup and said easily: "I only have this one condition, if you don't agree, then follow my method, if you agree and let me see the effect, I will depend on you, marry the royal scenery, and let you marry the Xu family with the scenery." How is it? ”
Gao Zhaorong didn't speak on the side, Xu Zhongli looked solemn, guessing in his heart what the so-called conditions were, after all, in front of Emperor Yuanhong, he didn't want to ask.
What's more, one of the reasons why he didn't speak from beginning to end was that he didn't know how his son Xu Changting knew the emperor, and it seemed that he was not only familiar with the emperor, but also with the noble concubine.
After all, when Xu Changting was calling Concubine Gao, he was aunting Yuan, and observing the appearance of Concubine Gao, it seemed that he also liked Xu Changting to call her Aunt Yuan.
At this moment, everything seems to be reversed, just now Yuan Hong has a gloomy face, and now it is Xu Changting who has a gloomy face.
Yuan Hong's voice was even a little gloating, and it sounded lightly in everyone's ears: "Who came just now, and what did you say that you must marry your eldest sister in a beautiful way, I am afraid that my eldest sister will be wronged because of this after marrying into someone's house, and I am afraid that I will be looked down upon." How? Do you regret it now? Of course, it's too late for you to regret it, I won't force you. ”
Chu Ying, Xu Wenrou, and Xu Changhong were watching from the sidelines in a hurry, they had strength in their hearts but they couldn't do it at all, not to mention that they didn't know what the conditions were, even if they knew, in front of the current emperor, they didn't dare to decide whether to agree for Xu Changting at will.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have strings attached, right?" Xu Changting took a deep breath, looked up at Yuan Hong, who had just put down the teacup, and asked.
Then as Xu Changting's gaze swept over his parents and two sisters one by one, Yuan Hong's expression suddenly became a little unpredictable and sighed.
Immediately, Yuan Hong's gaze also swept over the hall, and his tone became much more serious and majestic: "Only you and I know about this matter, and you must not disclose it to your family, let alone seek your father Xu Zhongli's help or advice!" I am ...... you. ”
Yuan Hong's eyes were deep, and he looked at Xu Changting, who also had a serious face, and continued: "For the sake of your filial piety, I will let Wang Xianghe and Xue Wuxuan help you do this." ”
"Okay, then I'll agree." Xu Changting took a long breath and said seriously.
"Wang Xianghe and Xue Wuxian, from today on, as long as Xu Changting looks for you to help, you can't shirk, and everything needs to be at his disposal." After Wang Xianghe and Xue Wuxian came in together, Yuan Hong said solemnly, and then pointed at Xue Wuxian with his chin, and said, "Give him the waist card in your palace, so that he can find you at any time." Is there anything else I can help you with? ”
"I don't need it for the time being, I'll discuss it with the two of them when I think about it, and see if I want you to help." Xu Changting said.
"You don't joke, this matter is settled. Zhongli, your family's meal should be almost ready, right? My stomach is already growling. After Yuan Hong returned to his usual appearance, he said to Xu Zhongli, who was frowning on the side.
Immediately, Xu Zhongli got up and invited Yuan Hong and Gao Zhaorong to move to the dining room, while Chu Ying, Xu Changhong, and Xu Wenrou surrounded Xu Changting with a concerned face.
"Weiyang, you ......." Chu Ying was a little at a loss, although she didn't know what Xu Changting had promised, she could still feel that this matter was by no means as simple as she imagined, and in addition to thinking about it, she even felt that it would be very dangerous.
"Mother, it's okay, it's just a little thing, can the emperor still harm me?" Xu Changting smiled and said to Chu Ying and his two sisters with a smile, and casually took a piece of waist card handed to him by Xue Wuxian.
"With this waist card, you can enter and exit the palace at any time, you can go to the forbidden army to find me, and you can go to the palace to find Wang Xianghe, but if you want to go to the harem, this waist card will not work." After Xue Wuxian finished speaking, he smiled and handed the heavy waist card to Xu Changting's hand.
