Chapter 8: The Hidden Truth Emerges

Entering the Xichuan area in May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables that belong to the characteristics of Xichuan, removing the things of the year's tribute, Xichuan Bian's is the first place to enjoy Xichuan's specialties.

Although the marriage decree did not set the date for Gan Tang and Lu Xun to get married, everyone in the Bian family knew that it would not exceed the year after tomorrow at the latest.

And Xichuan and Yan Long are thousands of miles apart, and Gantang will get Yan Long to marry either this autumn or next spring.

Therefore, this summer is Gantang's last summer in Xichuan.

The Bian family has always been united, and they also love Gantang, knowing that Gantang is leaving, no matter how old or young the family is respectful, they all want to give Gantang first if they have good things, as if she can't eat these things when she leaves Xichuan.

On this day, the elders of Bian Mansion secretly gathered in the pavilion to pass the time for half a day.

The porter sent someone to report, saying that the Lu family of the Yanlongyan State Mansion had come.

Gan Tang, who had just been amused by his little nephew and little niece, had a smile like a flower when he heard the porter's words, and his smile suddenly disappeared.

"The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the fourth aunt, the cousin...... As soon as the house arrived, I went back to the courtyard first. Gantang got up and saluted, and left the garden with the maid.

She walked in a hurry, and she didn't know that she thought she was shy when she heard that her future husband's family was coming.

But Gan Tang was obviously flustered and just wanted to escape.

But before Gan Tang could cool off in the boudoir, the maid beside her grandmother came to invite her to the flower hall.

When Gan Tang arrived in the living room from the inner courtyard, his maternal grandparents had already entertained the Lu family, and the flower hall used by the Bian family to entertain guests had placed several black wooden boxes with lacquered gold carved beasts.

When no one was paying attention, my grandmother handed the copied gift list to Gan Tang, and Gan Tang glanced at it casually and saw the words on the gift list.

On the list of gifts, two out of ten are royal gifts.

Gan Tang thought, the Lu family is reluctant, but now they all give such gifts, what will they give when they are hired?

Gan Tang set his eyes on the face of the person who came to give the gift.

The other party is a middle-aged man, with an ordinary figure, five official positives, and a calm and practiced demeanor.

The middle-aged man waited for Gan Tang to sit down before saluting again, "Please girl, the villain is the housekeeper of the Yanguo Mansion, on the orders of the head of the family and the master mother, find some gadgets for the lady of the house, Xiao Langjun and the girls play in their spare time." ”

Although the housekeeper put the girls at the end, when he mentioned it, his eyes glanced at Gantang's skirt.

"This is a gilded peacock inlaid ruby hairpin, the housewife of the family specially explained, that day did not catch up with Miss Gan's ceremony, and now the relationship between the two families is extraordinary, and it has to be made up."

"In addition, the villain also brought a handwritten letter to the master of the house, and the owner of the house said that the content of the letter was of great importance, and the villain had to hand it over to the old lady and the girl of the general."

The housekeeper was articulate and talked about things one by one, but when he mentioned the letter, he confused Gantang.

There is a letter to the elders, Gan Tang understands, after all, it is reasonable for the relatives to inform the elders, but what are the elders of the Lu family looking for her at this time?

Gan Tang frowned, moved to his maternal grandparents, and read the letter with them.

Gradually, she looked surprised, and even raised her hand to take the letter paper, and read it several times in disbelief.

My grandfather snorted and stood up, "Your Lu family is so domineering, send a housekeeper over, and dare to open your mouth to discuss the day of marriage, I'm really sorry, my family hasn't packed up yet, and I can't leave for a while." ”

In the letter, Yan Guogong said that he hoped to marry Gan Tang this year, and asked his grandfather to send Gan Tang to Yan Long on a certain day.

If the Duke of Yan Guo is now in front of his grandfather, and his grandfather has to compare with the Duke of Yan Guo, he is also a hairpin family, and there is a gateway to a hereditary title, so he can say such a thing.

I don't know if a wealthy family like them has to plan for a year or two since the day their children get married?

I don't know that girls nowadays get married, they all fancy the thickness of the dowry, although the dowry is the woman's private property, and the in-laws can't remember it, but if the dowry is too thin, will the woman and the family behind it be ridiculed?

Send a housekeeper and dare to say that you want to marry the bride into the door this year, joke.

Now that the holy decree has been issued, there is no room for change, the original plan of the Bian family was that Gan Tang could not prepare a dowry for her with great fanfare because of filial piety, and the group of tigers and wolves of the Gan family would not care about Gantang's affairs, and they couldn't count on it at all, so the Bian family bought a dowry for her during the time when Gan Tang was still in Xichuan, which took a year and a half to do well.

Besides, Lu Xun and Gan Tang's family affair can be successful, all because of the Lu family's situation, the Bian family is very unhappy, and now if the Lu family knows something, they should know it, they can't be in a hurry, everything will wait for Gan Tang to go to Yan Long.

Now that this matter is made, it is all revealing the arrogance of the Lu family.

My grandfather was still angry after thinking about it for a long time, and glanced at the Lu housekeeper again.

The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion smiled, "General, it's not that Grandpa Guo and Shizi Ye don't understand etiquette, it's really that the situation in Yan Long is too chaotic now, and Grandpa Guo and Shiziye can't get out." ”

"Oh, so tell me, what's going on?" My grandfather was full of momentum, and for a while, the small living room was like a behemoth, and the squeezed people had no place to stand.

Gan Tang couldn't help but think of the time when he received the holy decree, and Yan Long said that his grandfather was afraid that something had happened.

Yan Long, is something really wrong?

Did Lu Xun have a secret secret, so he went to ask for a marriage decree and pushed her to the queen?

Yan Long and Xichuan are thousands of miles apart, and the news transmission is inconvenient, and it has been almost two months since the ceremony.

Gantang is like a leaf that has strayed into the floating and sinking wasteland, not free, when she was running for her affairs at home, she also thought about whether something happened to Yan Long, so Lu Xun asked for marriage, and then led to a series of later events.

However, she has been away from Beijing for too long, and there is not enough news to support her beautiful imagination, and there is not enough evidence to convince her to believe Lu Xun.

She could only think about the worst possible situation.

But in fact, after going through so many things, Gan Tang still didn't want Lu Xun to have any flaws.

He and her, in the end, are different existences.

Grandfather's temperament is accustomed to seeing the corpse mountain and sea of fire, and the housekeeper of the Yanguo Mansion did not dare to look directly at his grandfather's eyes, but when he thought of the explanation of the master of the family when he came to Xichuan, he could only wipe the sweat on his head and said hard, "This matter is complicated, the villain is shallow, I am afraid that it will not be good to say, but the grandfather and the prince said that now the etiquette is not thoughtful, the Yanguo Mansion will double the compensation in the future, and it will not disgrace the future prince and wife of our house." ”

"Then please go back to Yan Long immediately and tell Yan Guogong, and change someone who is not superficial and can explain things clearly to explain this matter clearly." My grandfather's tone was already on the verge of exploding, and he followed him and said, "Adjutant General, send off." ”

When my grandfather's voice fell, the people guarding Bian's Mansion came out and asked the housekeeper of the Yanguo Mansion to leave, and my grandfather also took Gan Tang to the backyard.

On the road.

My grandfather said earnestly, "Tang'er, my grandfather will not let you be wronged." ”

Gan Tang's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "With my grandfather's protection, Tang'er is not aggrieved." ”

The housekeeper of the Yanguo Mansion was invited out of the General's Mansion on that day, and he waited for two days in a row, and even tried to find the Tang Wangfu to make peace, but he still couldn't let the Bian family loosen his mouth, and promised that this time Gan Tang would follow the Yanguo Mansion convoy back to Yanlong.

There was no way, so he had to send a message back and inform Yan Guogong and Lu Xun of the trouble he encountered here.

They came and went, and by the time the butler received the letter, it was already July.

The Yanguo Mansion no longer requires that Gan Tang be married this year, but will postpone it for a whole year, that is, at this time next year, to discuss all matters related to marriage.

When my grandfather received the news, he was in the barracks with a large knife in his hand, and he lifted the large knife and cut off a large piece of the stake.

He thought that the Yanguo Mansion was really good at responding to people.

Either hurry up and hurry, or dry people, so don't want to marry a girl from their family, then what kind of marriage decree should you ask for?

When his grandfather returned home, he had to write a letter of divorce without saying a word, what kind of family matter was a marriage, and he couldn't retreat, and the Bian family was a border guard who couldn't be too presumptuous, and he couldn't take care of it.

He has experienced countless life and death with his relatives in his life, if the living people in the family are still wronged, then what is the point of him taking a large family to guard the border and keep the Central Plains safe all these years!

My grandfather can't pull back ten cows now, but after the divorce letter and the petition were written, my grandfather wanted his fourth nephew and eldest grandson to send a letter to Yan Long, and when they were both away from home for two days, Yan Long's fast horse sent a report from the palace saying that the current prince was deposed.

This dynasty is a bit special, now His Majesty does not have many heirs, the prince who has been deposed is sixteen years old, and the harem has a second heir.

Yes, His Majesty has only two sons in this dynasty, and compared with the reign of the first emperor - there is simply no need to compare.

Before the birth of the second prince, there was only one prince in the entire Fu Dynasty, and this prince did not like it today, and the prince would inherit the throne in the future.

In short, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very good prince, and there is no reason to abolish him because he has the second prince.

Hearing the news, my grandfather had another idea.

Yan Guogong is one of the many people who teach the abolition of the prince the way of king, and Lu Xun is a classmate of the abolished prince, so the entire Yanguo Mansion is the courtier of the abolition of the prince's lineage.

The people in the imperial capital must have known about the movements of the imperial city earlier than the people at the border gates.

So he has reason to suspect that the Yanguo Mansion wants to marry Gan Tang into the door as soon as possible because it also wants to pull their General's Mansion into the whirlpool, they are afraid that something will happen to the prince and his own family will also suffer, but because he is very dissatisfied with the rudeness of the Yanguo Mansion, maybe Gan Tang will go to Yanlong, so the news of the prince's abolition has spread to the border.

Thinking of this, my grandfather slapped the table and scolded, "Dog thief, you have calculated so much!" ”
