Red House Spring Fiber

The king of Dongping County sighed and agreed.He was in harmony with the concubine and his wife, and the eldest son was the eldest son who had been looking forward to for many years. He loved him the most, and he was not willing to lose his life.It's just the embarrassment, he also knows it well: "It's useless to say more now, we have to see what Beidi wants!"

Beidi is also making a fuss, and they have suffered a lot from this southward invasion.Originally, he was somewhat lingering, but he never thought that he would suddenly get a captive like the prince of Dongping County, and there were a few Han nobles beside him.There are those who are reckless and want to kill, those who think carefully and need to plunder to learn the Han system, and those who feel sorry for the loss and need to demand a big ransom.So many, many more.

However, due to the heavy damage in the end, the one who asked for the reward finally prevailed.Thinking about the previous affairs, he added two sentences: "You need a reward, but you also need to find out the details. It's better to get married, and you can get property and talents."

This idea of ​​getting the best of both worlds naturally won the approval of everyone, so they spread the word to Dayong.I don’t want to, but when the emperor’s ministers learned about it, they were all furious: “The defeated general is not brave enough. It’s a dream to want to get married!” There are only a few words of peace, such as saying a few words about the marriage between the two countries, and a good relationship forever.There was also the king of Dongping County, who did not dare to speak in the court, but he had to contact his family friends after he returned, and they all made noises, but they gradually recovered the situation.

After all, according to Dongping County King and others, as long as he kisses a court lady, or a woman with a little bit of royal blood, the frontier fortress can stop the smoke of gunpowder, and it is worthwhile for the eldest son to wait for the honored soldiers to return safely.Even if he was a frontier general ten years ago, didn't he finally make peace with a county head to end the friendship between the two countries?It was so in the past, why not now.

But after all, he cared about chaos, and it showed signs for a while, and it fell into the eyes of the Holy Majesty and the court ministers, obviously because of private interests.After several fights, a minister said angrily: "Since the king of the county thinks that it is a righteous thing to give up a daughter to tie the two countries together. I heard that the king of the county has a daughter who is already at the age of Ji, which is just right. The minister thought that it would be better to have the county master get married, which would be the best of both worlds."

When the King of Dongping County heard about it, his complexion couldn't help changing, and he was waiting to speak.But the Holy One said: "Your words are very true. The king of the county knows the righteousness well, and it is more appropriate than others. There is still room for discussion about the matter of marriage. In the past, when the first emperor was in power, he used the marriage to insult the state of the country, which is quite disgusting. I have not been on the throne for a long time, and if there is still room for change, I am not willing to go against the will of the late emperor."

The king of Dongping County bowed his head deeply, unable to speak for a long time.He could still refute what the minister said before, but after hearing the words of the Holy Majesty, he dared not say more, he could only obediently agree.When he was able to go back, he told the concubine all kinds of things here, and said dejectedly: "I'm afraid my son's life will be lost!"

The princess couldn't have expected this, her eyes widened and she fell down on the chair, unable to speak a single word.The king of the county was shocked, he stretched out his hands to help him, and tried to comfort him again and again, but seeing that it didn't work, he said, "Princess, there is always a way to turn around. Now one person counts on the short, and the two count on the long, the life of the son is on you and me. No matter what, I can't..."

With these words, the concubine cheered up a little, and cried loudly: "My son is really going to die, what's the point of my life? Why don't you let me go together, our mother and I have a son on the way to Huangquan. Companion!" While weeping, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the voice of the princess of the county came in from outside: "Why are you crying! If it's useful, it's nothing for my old lady to cry with you and go blind!"

Seeing their mother coming, Dongping County King and his wife hurriedly endured their grief and got up to greet them, but they couldn't help but comfort them: "Mother, please don't..." Before they finished speaking, the concubine waved her hand, telling the servants to wait. They all retreated, and asked their confidantes to guard the front and back, and their own family sat on the couch, staring at their husband and wife with piercing eyes: "I already know about the matter of the son. Now whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, they all want to use our family to do it." Raft. If you refuse, my grandson’s life will be lost. If you want to redeem it, my granddaughter will have to marry far away. They have already made such an idea, and it is difficult to change it. Now that people are killing me with swords, what else can I do? ? If it makes me, I don’t want my granddaughter to get married, but if I want to sacrifice my grandson’s life, I can’t do it again! You should know whichever is the lesser of two evils.”

The concubine was trembling all over, thinking of her delicate daughter, her face was snow white, and she cried with her lips trembling: "Mother, I..." The concubine suddenly glared at her, and said coldly: "It's up to now, so what if you don't want to give up! Are you telling me that my grandson can’t come back even with his corpse? You can ask Rong’er if she would like to step on her brother’s bones and live a good life?”

With such words, even the Duke of Dongping fell silent.

The room was suddenly frozen, as if a dark cloud weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, making them unable to even sit or stand.At this time, Concubine Tai said indifferently: "I don't know how you feel about being parents? With the current situation, the only thing I can do is to cut off my heart and flesh to save my life. There is another one, but I can also find ways to do it." , It’s just that such a thing needs to be done carefully, if one is careless, everything will be lost, and the situation will be more difficult than it is now. You should think about it carefully, and then work in the district—maybe, you can still save Rong’er.”

The concubine heard that there was still a solution, so she hurriedly choked up and asked, "Since mother has a solution, I just need to explain it." Seeing that she was still so impatient, the concubine couldn't help frowning and warned, and said: "I saw a girl before my head. She is the eldest daughter of Ziwei Sheren Xue's family, and she came here with the Wang family of Rongguo Mansion. I asked Two sentences, neither arrogant nor humble, prudent and self-cultivated. I said that Mrs. Jingxiang and Mrs. Jingxiang, the original two families have already reached a certain agreement, and the elder brother who is biased towards the eldest daughter of the Xue family is very incompetent, and a rift has arisen. Fang just let it go."

With these words, the princess still frowned, not knowing why she mentioned this.The king of Dongping County was very scheming, and he understood after hearing a few sentences: "What mother means, this girl from the Xue family is good, and she can take on the responsibility of a blind date. This daughter of the Xue family, do you recognize a kind of adopted daughter to replace Rong'er and get married?"

Concubine Toffee nodded, her eyes were heavy: "That's right."

The king of Dongping County was silent for a long time, then he nodded his head: "The Xiande concubine lost her son and was seriously ill, and the Jia family has few children, so they have several relatives by marriage, so they are far away. Besides, Xue's family is only relatives by marriage, so they act cautiously. If you are willing to pay attention, this plan may not be impossible. Besides, my mother values ​​the daughter of the Xue family, and I think she is also a smart person. At that time, I showed my heart, thinking that she is a girl. For this mother and brother's family, I will definitely give up my life to save her. .It’s just one thing, the Holy Majesty and the courtiers may not be willing to fulfill it. What’s more, it’s really detrimental.”

"As long as you have a good plan, why not." The concubine sneered, her eyes were as deep as water: "Even if it's really impossible, you and I have done our best for Rong'er. If it can be done, then the Xue family will make up for it, and we will be with that Xue The eldest girl asks for the name of a princess, what shortcomings does she have? This is how things are in the world, now that we are powerful, the Xue family has to obey. But before I waited in front of the courtiers of the Holy Majesty, didn’t I just smash my teeth and swallow my blood?”

The princess couldn't bear it at first, but thinking of her children, she still couldn't help crying: "My lord, just listen to my mother. I also know that I can't do this to the Xue family. But Mingcheng and Ronger and the others... I, my next life I am willing to work with that daughter of the Xue family, and I only hope that their brothers and sisters will live a safe life!"

Having said this, the Duke of Dongping was already moved, so he couldn't help nodding his head at this moment.

The concubine saw that they had made up their minds, so Fang slowly said: "Since we have made up our minds, we must plan carefully, and there must be no mistakes. We must find out everything about the Xue family. In addition, the Jia family The Wang family, the Shi family, and several families with close and distant in-laws must all be investigated and understood. In addition, how the family chooses must be careful, and there must be no mistakes! Otherwise, the life and future of my grandchildren and granddaughters will be in jeopardy!"

The county king and his wife nodded in silence.

And Xue Baochai, who was making their own calculations, put down the needle and thread in his hand at this time, and looked up at Yinger: "Mom really said that?" There is no way, Fang put down such a sentence."

Baochai frowned slightly, sighed quietly, and said, "Brother is also confused. Since Xiangling has been released and has resumed her original status as a young lady, she will naturally have to remarry. This matter No matter who says it, it doesn't make any sense. Unless that Mrs. Zhen sells her daughter to our family again." After finishing speaking, she got up again, straightened her dress, and went to Xue Pan's room.

There is a lot of trouble over there.Don't say that Aunt Xue, who is so kind and soft in the past, even has a sister Feng, who can't stop drinking now.Baochai stood outside and listened for a long time. It was the same as what Yinger said.Originally, Xue Pan knew from nowhere that Xiangling, that is, Zhen Yinglian, was going to marry a small official as his successor, now it has been decided, and it will be made soon.He was drunk again and made a fuss that was useless, but when he came back he yelled a few more words, which made Xia Jingui understand.

That Xia Jingui already had a grudge against Zhen Yinglian, but now that her husband and son-in-law were still thinking about it, she couldn't help being furious, and started yelling and cursing.Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was already drunk, and he was playing tricks, not the appearance he usually avoids these days.

If you don't forgive me, I won't let it go, how can it stop, the gongs and drums sounded for a while, it really went to the martial arts, smashed most of a good house, and still yelled endlessly.Aunt Xue didn't want to pay attention to it, and she had to come when it came to this matter. Unexpectedly, she entered the room, and before she could say a word, she was stopped by Xia Jingui's crying and cursing at Sang and Huai, and scolded tremblingly. The two sentences were useless, and he was extremely angry, so Fang opened his mouth and said the word divorce.

Xue Baochai twitched her brows slightly, turned her head and said to Ying'er, "Master is drunk, and grandma is also confused. Why is there no one to stop me, but call mom to come over. Go and call some strong women over to separate master and grandma." Settle down." After that, she stepped into the house, stretched out her hand to support Aunt Xue, and said softly: "Mom, don't get angry, it's because brother was drunk, so there were some quarrels."
