Chapter 128: One after the other

Chu Nan naturally didn't know that the two big men in the palace had already treated him as a shameless flower thief and were ready to kick him out of the capital as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the Queen Mother is preparing to give marriage, it is impossible not to communicate with King Jing in advance, and even Chu Nan suspects that King Jing is behind the scenes, even if he has been planting land in the palace behind closed doors, no one in the capital dares to underestimate him, and even more and more fearful.
But no matter what the truth is, King Jing is Xian'er's father-in-law after all, and Chu Nan should pay a visit early.
King Jing was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, looking thinner and thinner, but he was very energetic, and when he saw Chu Nan coming, he didn't give him a chance to mention Xian'er's marriage at all, and talked about the scenery outside the Seychelles.
It can be seen that King Jing's knowledge is very profound, after all, he was a person who was trained as an emperor at the beginning, putting aside the disguise of an old peasant, and he didn't speak much but was sharp to the point.
Chu Nan stood humbly and said cautiously: "It is impossible for Your Majesty to go to the northwest in person, after all, I have little qualifications, I am afraid that I will not be able to control the scene, and when the time comes, it will probably be Your Majesty in the capital to control ......
King Jing smiled disdainfully, and said lightly: "Will you be so obedient?"
Chu Nan's face was scornful, and he didn't know how to deal with the old man who was out of the royal family but had always been very detached.
King Jing didn't care about Chu Nan's reaction, patted his knees and sighed: "No matter what, it's a great thing for Daliang, as long as things are done, whether it is the northwest or Yingzhou in the future, talking and doing things will not be as tough as before......
After speaking, he glanced at Chu Nan again, and said slowly: "The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, after all, it is a big battle, as long as you can command the army, even if you do something out of the ordinary, as long as the result is good, everything is good...... If something goes wrong, I'm afraid you have to settle the old and new accounts together...... You may not know that the ten major crimes convicted of you by the imperial historians are now placed on His Majesty's bookcase, and it is not easy to turn them out and use them when needed?"
Chu Nan lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
King Jing didn't sympathize with Chu Nan's situation at all, but said with a smile: "I think you still have some hole cards that have not been revealed, and I don't need to worry about you, old man......"
Chu Nan sighed, lowered his head and said, "It's probably the result of impulse...... How can there be so many hole cards available?"
Although King Jing is far away from the court, he is one of the big people in the capital who is qualified to influence the direction of the court, but unfortunately, although he heard Chu Nan pretending to be pitiful, he did not mean to help him, but instead picked up the chrysanthemum tea he brewed and tasted it.
Chu Nan was helpless, and also sat down to drink tea.
King Jing looked straight at the bleak winter scene in the courtyard, and suddenly said with a sigh: "The old man is like the old tree in this courtyard, I'm afraid there won't be much to live, and many people are also looking forward to this tree dying soon, so that they can cut down the space and plant some new ............."
Chu Nan sipped tea and listened quietly, not knowing how to answer.
King Jing didn't want to get any comfort from Chu Nan, and said with a chuckle: "Originally, the old man would probably die quietly like this tree, but I didn't expect to get a daughter for nothing...... I'm not afraid to tell you that although this plant won't live long, as long as it's still there, the flowers and plants under the tree can be blessed for a day......"
Chu Nan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, this was the topic he wanted to discuss when he came to King Jing, and quickly put down the teacup and said, "I will treat Xian'er well......"
King Jing glared at Chu Nan, frowned and said: "You are full of debts and restless, and you are always in trouble, and now it is even more amazing, a careless will be the end of a catastrophe, and you will have to affect your family, if you think according to me............ Speaking of this, he didn't mention it, and said a little unwillingly: "It's a pity, Xian'er, this girl has a tendon, so she recognizes you......"
Chu Nan was a little ashamed and a little proud.
Now King Jing doesn't use his royal status to pressure himself, but he uses the name of the future father-in-law, and he speaks quite politely, which makes Chu Nan a little honestly afraid.
In the final analysis, Xian'er's marriage is still firmly pinched in the hands of King Jing, and the situation is stronger than people, and Chu Nan cannot be allowed not to bow his head.
King Jing said that he still felt sorry for Xian'er, glanced at Chu Nan and said: "Although you want the Queen Mother to give marriage, it is just a formality, if you think that the victory is in your hands, it will be a big mistake, even if the Queen Mother's decree is given, believe it or not, the King can let the Queen Mother take it back......"
There is such an unreasonable and extremely domineering old man, it is really the sorrow of all sons-in-law, although Chu Nan suspected that King Jing's words were exaggerated, but he would not be stupid enough to question on the spot, and said with a smile: "How can it be...... Your old man is relieved...... Don't scare me...... I'm very timid......"
King Jing sneered, but he didn't mind poking Chu Nan's scar at all, "Cowardly?!As a son, you can make you so angry that you will expel you............ But only being a husband is so-so qualified......"
Chu Nan looked at King Jing's face, and thought for a while, don't give him a punch, this old thing, don't hit people in the face, scold people without revealing their shortcomings, I don't understand this reason, the older you get, the more disproportionate.
King Jing didn't notice the murderous aura in Chu Nan's eyes, and suddenly asked, "When are you going to marry Xian'er......?"
Chu Nan likes this topic, and it is also the ultimate purpose of coming to King Jing's Mansion this time, and when he heard King Jing take the initiative to mention it, he forgot the idea of beating the old man just now, and said with some joy: "Of course, the sooner ......"
Seeing King Jing's eyes that seemed to have deep meaning, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a trap, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, lowered his head and changed his mouth and said, "Of course you have the idea......
King Jing stroked his beard and laughed, patted Chu Nan's shoulder, with an expression of "You can teach you, you should answer like this", and pretended to be hypocritical, and said with a smile: "This matter...... You also have to discuss with Xian'er's family......"
Chu Nan couldn't wait to kick the old face that was smiling like a bitter gourd, and asked tentatively, "Then you see...... When is the right time?"
King Jing pondered for a while before asking, "When did you book with the little girl of the Yang family?"
Chu Nan chose the words and replied cautiously: "It depends on what my father-in-law means, the sooner the better...... Probably years ago......"
It's a little helpless to say, the royal marriage is said to be a supreme glory, in fact, even the marriage period must be "given", and it is not up to you to make your own decisions.
King Jing frowned after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Then Xian'er will be the New Year, and you will come back from the northwest......
Chu Nan bared her teeth, according to her thoughts, she probably hoped that the two would marry together and come back from the northwest...... Who knows how long it will take...... King Jing glanced at Chu Nan and said lightly: "Don't be dissatisfied, Xian'er is a princess now, and not letting you divorce your wife and marry again is already giving you face, if you can't have a beautiful wedding, I won't agree! If everything goes well and you return to the dynasty with honor, it will naturally be better...... If you lose the battle and come back to be liquidated, as long as the old man is not dead, he can barely keep you out, but when the time comes, your marriage with Xian'er will need to be discussed again......"
Chu Nan naturally understood the confidence and coercion in King Jing's calm words, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.
King Jing patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, got up and walked towards the back, and sighed softly: "Young man, do it yourself......"
........................ The next day, just as Chu Nan was about to go out to Piaoxian Tower to talk to Xian'er's family, he was blocked by several people at home.
With a white face and beard, a sharp voice, and a big mole at the corner of his mouth, he is one of the great eunuchs under the Queen Mother, Gonggong Sha.
Gonggong Sha stepped down from the carriage and stepped on a low stool, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Chu...... Where are you going? Don't rush out yet, the miscellaneous family has good news for you!"
Sure enough, it was a happy event, and it was a great happy event.
It is the decree of the Queen Mother.
Chu Nan had no choice but to follow the eunuch back and ordered his subordinates to prepare to receive the order, but the movement was not small, although Yangmei and Guan He were a little reluctant, but they couldn't hide from it.
Sha Gonggong and Chu Nan exchanged pleasantries for a while, said some pleasing words, and solemnly invited a roll of yellow silk from the brocade box, as if singing and reading.
"The Queen Mother's Decree .................."
In fact, most of the people present guessed the content, it was nothing more than to praise Chu Nan for how loyal and patriotic Chu Nan was, and how Yang Lin was gentle and simple to keep the house, the two were a match made in heaven, and the marriage date was officially determined, the thirteenth day of the lunar month.
Chu Nan felt satisfied, pinched his fingers and calculated, it was only less than a month now, and the Queen Mother finally knew her mind.
Yang Mei has a complicated expression, even if it is her sister, there is always some resistance in her heart, of course, because there are outsiders present, she will not show the slightest, and she took the holy decree and stood up and ordered her subordinates to serve hot tea, and handed over a large amount of silver tickets to Sha Gonggong as hard-earned money.
Sha Gonggong nodded and put it in his sleeve, and glanced at it casually, and his face was about to smile like a chrysanthemum.
The tea was also drunk, and the silver was also received, but Sha Gonggong was still sitting on the chair, without the slightest intention of saying goodbye and leaving, Yang Mei had to secretly scold her insatiable greed, and pulled out a silver ticket.
Father-in-law Sha didn't answer this time, so he hurriedly excused himself and explained with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two, there are companions from the miscellaneous family with another will of the queen mother, and the miscellaneous family is waiting to go back with him......"
Sure enough, there is another one, the eunuch who announced the decree is far older than Grandpa Sha, and his qualifications and identity cannot be compared, and he is the head of the big eunuch who is not easy to move.
The will is roughly similar, but the name is changed to Xian'er's, and the words are obviously more complicated and gorgeous, and it is also the will to give marriage, and it is really not out of Chu Nan's expectations, but there is no wedding date in it.
Another hot tea was served, and a lot of silver was spilled, obviously the grade of the old eunuch was more than one grade higher than that of Grandpa Sha, and he took the silver ticket without even looking at it, and he didn't take the silver in his eyes.
The two big eunuchs had no intention of leaving, and sat there smiling and drinking tea.
Yang Mei was a little frightened, and asked suspiciously: "The two fathers-in-law...... Could it be ...... What's next?"
The two big eunuchs looked at each other and smiled, and nodded tacitly.
