"Get on your knees!"

In the Lin family's courtyard, Qiao Lang shouted in a low voice, Qiao Zhaoyi knelt on the futon sadly, and made up his mind that he would definitely ignore Deng Yi in the future.

If you have to see it, you have to step over a brazier to get bad luck when you come back.

Qiao Zhaoyi knelt down, had relatives in his heart, and explained in a low voice: "Dad, I have nothing to do with Deng Yi at all!" ”

Qiao Lang: "...... Do you think I'm blind! I saw it all! ”

He was so angry that he had a headache, and he directly covered his head, hating that iron is not steel: "You are all like that, what do you want me to say!" ”

He hated how he went out at that time.

The people who were waiting in the courtyard were all driven outside, for fear that they would hear what they shouldn't have heard.

"Dad, that's a misunderstanding!"

"What misunderstanding, couldn't Deng Yi take your hand and put it on his shoulder?"

Qiao Lang said angrily, not believing a word in his heart.

"Yes! It was really he who asked me to hit him with my hands. ”

Qiao Lang: "............"

Hearing the news, Lin who had just entered the door: "............"

Yes?!!

She almost passed out.

She was originally looking at the portrait in the study, and heard the grandmother next to her report that something seemed to have happened to the four girls, and the old man's face changed after hearing it, and he was frightened by Lin's heart, and thought that he had broken into a catastrophe, and he didn't even have time to clean up the portrait himself, so he hurried over.

But this, this, this, what's the matter?

Lin was so frightened that he rushed up to check Qiao Zhaoyi's body to see if there was anything broken.

Eunuchs are rootless things, but they are born men, especially Deng Yi, a high-powered and young eunuch, when his power reaches its peak, he wants to find satisfaction in the place next to him.

The Lin family had dealt with the palace and knew that this kind of person was difficult to serve, for fear that Qiao Zhaoyi would suffer.

It wasn't until I checked my whole body that I didn't feel that something was wrong, and my hanging heart was put down, but it was still pounding.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

Qiao Lang is resting today, and he wanted to go to the shop to have a look, and add some hairpin ring jewelry to Qiao Zhaolan and Qiao Zhaoyi, which can not only be worn normally, but also be counted as a dowry in the future.

But since Qiao Zhaolan came back in the morning, she always covered it up, only saying that Qiao Zhaoyi went to the newly opened shop in Beijing and would come back later.

Qiao Zhaoyi is still lazy, Qiao Zhaolan is the most lively, how can Qiao Zhaoyi go to play alone, Qiao Zhaolan is different.

Qiao Lang had a lot of cases, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he didn't move, and several side doors were sent to guard them, and when he saw Qiao Zhaoyi coming back, he immediately sent him a message.

He had no idea that he would be greeted by such a scene!

When did Qiao Zhaoyi and Deng Yi meet, and the relationship has developed to the point that they can pull and pull in the carriage!

And Deng Yi, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, can't see others at all in the ordinary world, where did Qiao Zhaoyi have anything to do with the other party?

The words and deeds of the two today, where are they just acquainted?

But at least I still have a little brain, and I know how to go to the west side gate where no one is around.

Qiao's family has partial doors in the west and east, the only difference is that there is no mansion on the left and right of the west partial gate, it is a dead end, and there is only one family in Qiao's family.

This is not the case with the east side gate, which is close to the market and is crowded with people, and there are doors left for the rest of the mansions to the left and right.

Otherwise, today's events really can't be hidden.

He was so horrified that he let out that scream, and he regretted it when he was done.

If this is heard and seen left and right, how will Qiao Zhaoyi be a person in Beijing in the future.

Qiao Lang poked her forehead and educated earnestly: "You have to have anything to do with Deng Yi, do you really think that the Son of Heaven is a good minister?" ”

Lin also followed: "The eunuch is in power, and there will be three feet of waves if there is no wind, so you don't want to be treated as a bird." ”

Qiao Zhaoyi wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by the airtight words of the two.

After Qiao Lang finished speaking, he said angrily: "Look at your appearance!" You said two days ago that you were in Xu Cen Mansion, why are you unclear with Deng Yi now! ”

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

When Qiao Lang said that his mouth was dry and he sat down to drink tea to relieve his anger, Qiao Zhaoyi roughly said what happened during the day.

didn't mention Cen Yu.

With Deng Yi here, it's already intelligible, and when it comes to Cen Yu, she doesn't want to get up from the futon today.

Qiao Zhaoyi only said: "During the day, we went to Hefeng Building for dinner, and we met Deng Yi inside, but I never thought that there were six princes' people below, and they were blocked, so I made this decision, and let people pretend to be me and go back to the house with the third sister." ”

Lin: "......"

Qiao Lang: "......"

From the overall framework, this sentence makes sense, the queen and the six princes are on opposite sides, and the relationship is precarious.

Deng Yi, as a representative of the queen's faction, met the six princes and couldn't ignore it.

"And then?" Lin asked urgently.

Qiao Zhaoyi came back an hour and a half later than Qiao Zhaolan.

What the hell did the two of them do?

Qiao Zhaoyi: "His daughter was seen by him on the way back, he asked, and his daughter didn't dare not go back, and then he called him to accompany him to buy things for the nobles in the palace." ”

Deng Yi's identity is there, Qiao Zhaoyi is just the daughter of a petty official, and it is the norm that she cannot shirk it.

Qiao Lang: "But he can't ignore your reputation, in broad daylight, what kind of body has become-"

He stopped and suddenly came back to his senses: "Wait, why is Deng Yi pulling and pulling with you?" Does he really have no ill intentions towards you? ”

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

Not really.

Look at his appearance, it's almost as if he were his subordinate.

"Dad, I really don't." She wasn't sure what Deng Yi meant, so she only guessed and said, "When his daughter was shopping with him, he had a conflict with Yao Xiang's people and beat people up, he might have seen his daughter scared and wanted to comfort him?" ”

She told the noodle stall and Deng Yi in the car to mock her for her timidity.

The two people after listening: "............"

After Qiao Lang heard what happened to Qiao Zhaoyi today, even though he had seen the wind and waves, he still felt nervous for no reason: "Does the Yao family know that person is you?" ”

Qiao Zhaoyi shook her head: "My daughter is wearing a hat, I probably don't know it, but-"

She whispered: "Deng Yi doesn't know where to get out of the mouth, as if she knows the nonsense that her daughter said at home a few days ago, and today I pulled my daughter twice to ask if she fell in love with Cen Yu." ”

Qiao Lang: "............"

Lin: "............"

The eyes of the two of them went dark.

The same thought came to mind.

It's over, something big is wrong.

Deng Yi is a close minister of the queen, and since he knows it, he must not be able to hide it from the palace, and he doesn't know how much the other party will listen to the words of that day, if he hears them all-

The two of them skipped a beat, sensing the seriousness of the matter from each other's eyes.

If this word spreads, the Qiao family's life will be sad.

Let's not talk about the crime of teaching women without a party.

Yi'er's words were really rebellious and too shocking. Their husbands and wives can tolerate it, but not necessarily outsiders.

As long as one or two leaks, Yi'er's life will be ruined.

There was no one in the room.

Lin suppressed a hidden worry that rose in his heart: "What should I do now?" ”

Qiao Lang exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Deng Yi can ask that, presumably Zhonggong must know." ”

mentioned Zhou Qiyao, Qiao Lang felt a headache, and the other party could just make a move, whether it was to win over the Qiao family or to persecute him, he could have a countermeasure.

I'm afraid that it is like this now, on the surface it is calm, but secretly I don't know what monstrous currents are brewing.

One Deng Yi is difficult enough, the prince and King Yong are still mixed in, and each looks at Yi'er and looks at the wolf.

Qiao Lang's tone was slow, but he couldn't say anything: "Yi'er's marriage can't be delayed, find a stable and proper door, and marry far away." ”

The emperor is far away, and no matter how much news is transmitted in Beijing, it will not be able to reach there.

Lin's mind was wooden for a long time, and he begged: "There is no other way?" ”

She has a son and two daughters under her knees, the eldest daughter is married far away, I am afraid that there will be no day to see each other in this life, and the eldest son is released for political achievements, I don't know when I can return, and now I can't even keep my daughter?

Lin's heart was like a knife, and he was indescribably sour.

Lin's eyes were red, and Qiao Lang was not happy in his heart, but he had to think about the Qiao family and Yi'er, so he closed his eyes and said ruthlessly: "The sooner the better." ”

He didn't dare to bet, just win the bet, lose the bet, and spread it to the ears of his family, whether he can keep Yi'er's whole beard and tail is a problem.

In order not to affect the unmarried children in the clan, his mother definitely has the courage to force Yi'er to leave the family for the rest of her life.

The Yongwang and Yao families who offended today are even more jackals, tigers and leopards.

……

Cen Yu came out of Hefeng Building and did not return to the Arrest Yuan, but returned to Cen Mansion.

The house sent several waves of messages today, saying that it was his mother Jiang, and he told him that he must go home, if he doesn't go back, he will not have her as a mother in the future!

Cen Yu got out of the car, thinking of the news that his father had recently delivered, Jiang picked up her deceased sister's girl, and privately bought a lot of things for the newlywed, afraid that he would be his wife.

He was sick, the imperial doctor said that his life expectancy was impaired, and he refused to return to the marriage, and Jiang was anxious.

Seeing that the deadline mentioned by the Imperial Doctor was getting closer and closer, his actions became more and more urgent.

Cen Yu didn't have any intention of getting married.

Marriage is a burden for him now, he can't afford the second half of a woman's life, and he is looking forward to moving forward with the friendship and fists of the other party.

As soon as he returned home, the steward in the front yard saw it and was busy delivering news to the backyard.

The cousin has already entered the Jiang family's courtyard, and the young master's marriage is going to be decided today, which is not a good thing.

The master of their family is not the descendant of the Cen family, and he is not even as good as a concubine, if he hadn't fought for himself, he would have been excluded from the Cen family a long time ago.

Don't look at the so-called brothers and sisters now, there is actually no real intimacy.

Cen Mansion has not been lively for many years, and they are all looking forward to Cen Yu's marriage, being happy, and getting more money every month.

Cen Yu who received the gaze: "......"

As soon as he passed the weeping flower gate, Ming Chun, who was waiting beside his mother, rushed over, and when he saw his young master, his face was suddenly happy, and he couldn't hide his smile, "Young master, Madame is waiting for you in the room." ”

Waiting for Cen Yu in the room, not only Jiang and his father, but also a tall and beautiful girl, who was dressed plainly and didn't wear much jewelry, but it was difficult to hide her appearance, as if she was a fairy in a painting, the sky and the moon.

People are about to have just passed the filial piety period, very thin, with a complexion that has not seen the sun for a long time, and it seems even weaker and weaker.

When Cen Yu arrived, Jiang was holding her hand, his face full of satisfaction.

But Bisheng saw the shadow of her deceased sister on her face, and her heart was mixed with joy and sadness: "Poor one, my sister who died early...... Good boy, in the future, this will be your home, but don't feel constrained, lack anything to eat, although—"

The subtle sound of Cen Yu entering the door made Jiang's voice pause, and when he saw that his son was back, he was immediately overjoyed, "Yu'er is back!" Come and see, this is your third aunt's cousin, surnamed Pei, called Wanyi. ”

After speaking, he introduced Pei Wanyi again, "This is what your cousin, Cen Yu, and aunt told you, and you haven't married yet." ”

Anyone present who has a little brain can hear what Jiang means by saying this.

Pei Wan lowered his eyes, stood up for a while, and saluted: "I have seen my cousin." ”

Pei Juan's body is taller than ordinary women, Jiang is not short, but standing next to Pei Juan, he is half a head shorter, and he looks much rounder.

It's not that Jiang's plumpness, but Pei Wanyi's is really thin, and even his face is pale, no matter how you look at it, she has a posture comparable to Cen Yu.

Jiang immediately felt distressed: "How did you serve you in Jeju, how did you lose weight like this?" ”

Pei Wan hesitated, as if he was a little embarrassed, seeing this, Jiang Shi hurriedly sent out all the people who were waiting around.

Cen Yu was about to go out, but was stopped by Jiang, so he stood at the door and listened.

only heard Pei Wanyi say softly at this time: "Auntie, it's because I'm weak and can't complain about others, I may be an unblessed person, and I'm born weak." ”

It's not a secret.

Pei Wan's elder brothers didn't stand still, and his parents prayed to God and Buddha everywhere to visit famous doctors, and in the end they barely left a daughter.

Jiang has heard of it, and I want to say that the recuperation is that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are offered all day long, and there will always be a day for the better.

Unexpectedly, Pei Juan said again and again: "The disease in the mother's womb is already damaging to the heirs, and I accidentally hurt my foundation by the cold a few years ago, I'm afraid it's ...... Don't be a mother. ”

The Jiang family was stunned for a moment, and the comforting words that were half on the stomach were stuck in the middle of the road, and his expression was like a trick: "You... This...... Yes? ”

She'd never heard of it.

Cen Yu was injured in Liangzhou that year, and it took countless famous doctors to snatch people back from the ghost gate.

At that time, it was said that the medicine was fierce, and people could live, but they hurt their children.

There is no way to debate whether the news is true or not, but every time Jiang asks on the side, Cen Yu is apologetic.

After a long time, it became Jiang's heart disease.

She dreamed that Cen Yu would marry as soon as possible and have another son-in-law, so that she could inherit the Cen Mansion.

But, may—

Jiang Shi looked at Pei Wanyi, who had just placed high hopes on him, but suddenly said that he was infertile, his face suddenly became colorful, he wanted to stiffen his face and felt that he shouldn't, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, he was stuck halfway, and he couldn't get up or down.

Or Cen Wenyong opened his mouth to comfort: "You let go of the child's hand, the child just came, why bother to say sad things, reunion is a happy event, it should be lively." ”

After speaking, Cen Wenyong looked at Pei Wanyi: "Let your aunt invite a few more doctors for you another day to take a good look, as for the side matters...... Don't take it to heart, Cen Mansion can afford to raise you. ”

“…… Uncle Xie. ”

Jiang's meal was tasteless, absent-minded, and most of the laughter in the morning had subsided now, but the old lady was also there, and she had to hold on.

The old lady is not a biological mother, but after all, she is a mother-in-law, and she has also contributed a lot to Cen Wenyong's official career.

The two sides still have some things that cannot be said in private, and Mrs. Cen has a very high status in the Cen family.

When Jiang first got married, he was not less angry with the other party.

At first, the Jiang family endured it, but as his father and Cen Wenyong rose step by step, people were unwilling.

She was born in a famous family, and when she married Cen Wenyong, she was considered a low marriage, where was she willing to suffer this kind of grievance.

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk about it in detail, there will be a lot of contradictions.

Jiang didn't want to be faceless in front of the old lady, and no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to pretend to be satisfied.

Cen Wenyong looked at Jiang's expression and felt tired, he ate for a long time, the old lady originally wanted to let her mother's family marry in, but Jiang refused without being soft or hard, and invited back a cousin, after the old lady knew, her face was pulled to the ground.

Now that the other party is finally here, he has to get to the bottom of it, and he has a gun and a stick between his words.

Cen Wenyong had a headache.

Cen Yu was even more silent.

Seeing that Jiang and the old lady were talking endlessly, both of them felt uncomfortable.

Cen Wenyong couldn't be anxious about his child's marriage, but his family is now on the cusp.

Yao's phase is powerful, the Manchu Dynasty can check and balance one or two, and there are not many people who are full of battles, and the Cen family is counted as one, but a ministry is no match for the momentum of the Yao family.

No matter who the emperor favors, he will not let the family dominate, and the Cen family and Yao Xiang will hinder each other.

Three years ago, Yao Xiang married his young daughter to the sixth prince, and soon after, Cen Yu left to take up the post of commander of the Investigation Yuan.

He didn't know much about the inside and outside, but he had to understand, so he became more and more cautious, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, not only to maintain the stability of the lintel, but also not to let His Majesty suspect that he was secretly forming a party for personal gain.

There are many enemies outside the Cen family, and there is not harmony inside.

In recent years, the old lady has used various excuses to instruct many members of her family to come in, stirring up a miasma of smoke in the yard.

Jiang's family is not easy to manage, and he can't manage it, how can there be a man who cares about the back house.

Therefore, the daughter-in-law of the Cen family must be a resolute person, at least she can dissipate the words of the old lady and the Jiang family, otherwise she will die of depression if she marries in for less than a year.

"Sir, a distinguished guest is here, waiting in the front hall." Suddenly a maidservant came at the door.

Cen Wenyong, who was thinking about what excuse to use to leave the table, was overjoyed, got up and left with a smile, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pull Cen Yu: "It's not a way to be hospitable, madam, mother, I'll take Yu'er first." ”

Jiang and the old lady came and went, and they didn't pay attention to this, and pulled Pei Wan to talk non-stop.

……

It was Shen Taifu in the court, the prince's teacher when he was young, and he was a loyal princeling, but he and Cen Wenyong were jinshi in the same year, and when they had a friendship, the prince was not yet born, and the other party did not delay the exchange between the two.

Shen Shaofu is also a well-known good person in Beijing, loves to socialize, and often asks three or two friends to fish and eat tea.

When Cen Wenyong saw the other party, he thought that he had come to his house to eat tea, and took the person to the tea room.

was about to make tea, but saw that the other party was mysterious, and looked at Cen Yu sitting on the side several times, before whispering to Cen Wenyong: "I came here to discuss important matters." ”

Approaching the end of the year, many officials were worried about the evaluation, dragging various relationships to find the officials, Cen Wenyong thought that the other party was coming because of this matter, and wanted to laugh and say a thing or two.

Unexpectedly, the other party's face turned red, and he looked very embarrassed, "Actually, I shouldn't have come to this matter, but the prince opened his mouth, and it was a major marriage event, and the old man really couldn't bear to have a pair of mandarin ducks who should have been so good." ”

When he heard what the prince said, his face was ashamed and he couldn't look at it.

But for His Royal Highness's position as the crown prince to sit safely, he has to come even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

It is a great righteousness to protect the prince.

Cen Wenyong couldn't help but smile: "Brother Shen, you are really, I'm not Yue Lao, why do you care about marriage?" ”

Young Master Shen was so embarrassed that he couldn't do it, and said in a hurry: "It's the matter of the prince of your mansion and the four girls of the Qiao family, the two of them have feelings for each other, but because of the grievances of the Cen Qiao family, they can't make the relationship public, and they are inadvertently broken by His Royal Highness, the prince can't bear it, and when the prince asks for it, this is why the old man comes to be a lobbyist." ”

Cen Wenyong's face changed greatly: "...?" …… Ha? What!? ”

Young Master Shen hurriedly asked him to whisper: "Oh, the child is embarrassed to mention something, what are you saying so loudly, but listening to the prince's meaning, the two of them have indeed been on good terms for a while, and their posture is quite intimate when they meet." ”

He said it mildly.

If it is really as described by the prince, it is too Menglang.

Young Master Shen confessed worriedly, "This matter seems to be a bit of a big trouble, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke through today, I heard that the Sixth Prince was also blocking people nearby, and it was Deng Gong who sent people to lead them away." ”

This is true, but when you say it in this situation, it changes the taste, and it is exactly the effect that the prince wants.

Originally, the six princes wanted to block Qiao Zhaoyi, but as soon as the order of the speech was reversed, it became not only the prince who knew about it, but even the six princes and the queen were shocked.

Cen Wenyong was shocked: "Are you serious? ”

Young Master Shen said conclusively: "Can I still lie to you?" ”

Cen Yu, the party sitting next to him: "......? ”

No.

When did this happen?
