Chapter 349: Shameless (1)
Zheng Xuanqing was a little weak by his future father-in-law, coughed, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, I really don't know about this."
All the people who thought that the Beihai King had a soft temperament and could be bullied changed their minds when the Beihai King's murderous ruthlessness changed last year.
The two big grain merchants who were beheaded and robbed of their homes became underground ghosts. Even Xie Junshou's in-laws, the Huo family, also folded into most of the family business.
Without the wisdom and decisiveness of the King of Beihai, Beihai County would not have been able to survive the day when the imperial court sent a large army to rescue. Because of this, now the King of the North Sea has reached its peak of fame in Beihai County.
Seeing that Zheng Xuanqing refused to tell the truth, the King of Beihai didn't ask any more, but said, "You and General Li are close friends, and if you go to each other in private, this king will not ask. However, we must not do anything to the detriment of Beihai County."
Zheng Xuanqing's heart fell to the ground with a stone, and he smiled diligently: "Yes, yes, I have written down the words of the prince."
This kid's flamboyant tongue is sometimes really an eyesore.
The King of the North Sea waved his hand and motioned for Zheng Xuanqing to retreat. Zheng Xuanqing retreated with interest. After leaving the study, he did not leave the palace, and cheekily went to the inner house to find Xu Guan.
The two are engaged and are already an unmarried couple. It's half a name. In fact, Zheng Xuanqing used to be as diligent as he was.
When the maids in Xu Guan's courtyard saw their future uncle, they all smiled and saluted: "The slave maid has seen the son, and the county gentleman is embroidering the dowry in the boudoir!"
Zheng Xuanqing went to his fiancée's boudoir happily.
Xu Wan sat in front of the window, bowing his head and embroidering a pillow scarf. The slightly drooping face is very beautiful, and the expression is calm and soft.
Zheng Xuanqing's heart was hot, and he rushed over like a cannon to the sky, and came to Xu Wan's side: "Sister Guan."
Xu Wan stopped the needlework in his hand, looked up and smiled: "Father called you over, what is the matter?"
Zheng Xuanqing's eyes flickered, and he came over with his ear: "I'll tell you, don't tell your father-in-law." Then whisper a few sentences.
Xu Wan was surprised and amused when he heard this, and glanced at him with disgust: "You have a bad idea. Can this be done?"
"Why can't it be!" Zheng Xuanqing was full of confidence and grinned: "Li Xiao and Wang Wei have gone through hardships, and they have a true love for each other, one is not to marry her, and the other is not to marry him. The biggest obstacle now is Li Xiao's mother."
"Li Xiao's mother's biggest concern is Wang Wei's identity. Wang Wei has a father who has been a bandit, and he is really not very decent. So, we have to think about it from this aspect......
"Don't worry, I can do it."
Xu Wan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Whether it succeeds or not, there is no harm in giving it a try. However, this matter must not be impatient, and it must be thought out slowly."
"You let Li Xiao go back to the barracks first! As a general, how can you neglect your duties because of your own personal affairs?"
Zheng Xuanqing smiled, "Li Xiao will leave tomorrow. It's up to me to get out of it."
The self-satisfied and show-off tone is like a male peacock who is eager to open the screen.
Xu Guan pursed his lips and smiled.
Zheng Xuanqing looked at his smiling fiancée, and his heart was like a fire arching around. He sat beside Xu Wan cheekily, his head getting closer and closer.
Xu Wan was a little helpless and a little funny, and reached out and pulled Zheng Xuanqing's face: "It's so hot, don't get so close."
Zheng Xuanqing deliberately bared his teeth and exhaled in pain, which made Xu Wan laugh non-stop.
Zheng Xuanqing is indeed not an outstanding son. However, when I am with him, I am always so happy and interesting.
Just when Zheng Xuanqing was about to get close to his fiancée, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Guan blushed slightly and pushed away Zheng Xuanqing, who was like kraft candy, and raised his voice, "Come in."
A pretty girl pushed the door in and reported softly: "Qiyu County Jun, the son of the Qiao family in Youzhou is here, and he comes to the door with a generous gift." The prince sent someone to deliver a message and asked the county magistrate if he wanted to meet the Qiao family."
Xu Wan smiled, and his eyes turned cold.
Qiao Gongzi of Youzhou Thorn Mansion is her former fiancé.
Two years ago, the Qiao family repented of marrying and marrying again. This is a great humiliation for Xu Guan. The North Sea King couple
Annoyed, he sent someone to Youzhou to smash Qiao's house, and only then did he breathe a bad breath in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Qiao's family still had the face to come to the door.
"Nope." Xu Wan said coldly, "Let people throw out the gifts sent by the Qiao family."
The pretty girl whispered in response and quickly retreated.
Xu Guanqiao's face was covered with a layer of frost. The heat in the room seemed to have gone a little. Zheng Xuanqing didn't say anything before, and said in a low voice at this time, "How many times has the Qiao family come to the door?"
Xu Wan sneered: "That day, Chunsheng was summoned to Beijing by a holy decree. Qiao's family was afraid of being implicated by the Beihai Royal Mansion and ruined the marriage contract. Later, Chunsheng gained a foothold in the capital and became friends with the prince, and the Qiao family regretted it. After the news came out in the capital that Chunsheng would be appointed as the crown prince, the Qiao family immediately sent someone to send a gift, wanting to resume contact with the Beihai Palace."
"My father didn't pay attention to it, and he had people throw out all the things they were carrying. Qiao's family is as thick-skinned as a city wall, and they continue to send people."
"This is the fourth time."
"Phew!" Zheng Xuanqing looked disdainful: "Shameless bastard thing!"
Xu Guan's good mood was completely ruined by the news of the Qiao family's arrival. She didn't say anything more, but took the needlework again, and slowly embroidered it one by one.
Zheng Xuanqing saw that Xu Wan was in a bad mood, so he closed his mouth and sat silently on the side.
After a long time, Xu Guan put down the needle and thread and said softly to Zheng Xuanqing, "Don't go to the trouble of the Qiao family."
Zheng Xuanqing immediately responded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In the evening, Zheng Xuanqing left the Beihai Mansion and returned to the Zheng Mansion.
Li Xiao asked people to pack some luggage and prepare to return to the Jiaodong military camp. Zheng Xuanqing reached out and grabbed Li Xiao's arm, and said in a low voice, "You lend me some hands."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, full of interest: "Who are you going to beat?"
Zheng Xuanqing snorted from his nose: "I want to beat a brazen person who doesn't know whether to live or die."
Li Xiao glanced at Zheng Xuanqing, who was jealous, and felt more and more interesting: "Could it be your rival?"
"Phew! He deserves it too!" Zheng Xuanqing said this, but in fact, the sour water in his heart was about to come out. The words that came out of his mouth were sour: "On the day that the Qiao family withdrew from the marriage, Sister Guan was sad for a long time, and I don't know how many times I cried in private. Now that the prince is in the limelight, the Qiao family is thinking about repairing the relationship again."
"This time, that Qiao Gongzi also came in person. Hum! It's not that Sister Guan made people get out."
Zheng Xuanqing's eyes unconsciously gathered two flames, looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Tell me, Sister Guan, with me, will you still miss that shameless ex-fiancé?"
Li Xiao replied solemnly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Your sister Guan has long forgotten that treacherous bastard, and she only has you in her heart."
