Chapter 102: A family sighs


At the same time, the Ministry of Works.In the night sky, the moon was dim, the stars were sparse, and the whole earth seemed to fall asleep, and the occasional barking of a dog broke through the silence of the night, and then fell into infinite silence.The door in the study of Shangshu Mansion was closed, and the candlelight was dim.There were only three people in the study, Li Xiao, his wife and Li Moyan.Mrs.

Shangshu is a middle-aged woman in her forties, her demeanor is quite similar to Li Moyan, although there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes and forehead, but her delicate face can vaguely show her beauty when she was young.At this time, she was sitting on the side with a cup of hot tea, looking at her daughter kneeling on the ground with a sad face.Li Moyan knelt upright in front of the bookcase and bowed her head and twisted the corners of her clothes, the dim candlelight reflected a large shadow on her cheeks through her falling bangs, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, let alone what she was thinking.Li Xiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is a lean man in his forties, and a sparse goatee has been combed to a good fit, just because of the handful of goatee, which makes him look at least five years older than his actual age.Li Xiao walked around the room with his hands behind him, frowning, and sighing from time to time.At today's palace banquet, the prime minister's daughter made a "special trip" to perform the sword dance for his daughter, and he was terrified to watch, especially the scene where Qingfeng's sword was sheathed at the end, which almost made him and his wife unable to lift it in one breath.That scene was too shocking and too dangerous.He almost saw the strong wind brought by the Qingfeng Sword lifting the hem of Li Moyan's clothes, if it was any more off, his daughter's life would be suspended until he returned to the mansion, he felt that his legs were weak and weak, how did his daughter offend that aunt and grandmother, so that aunt and grandmother were so angry.There were many people at the banquet, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he immediately asked the concierge to close the door and called Li Moyan and his wife into the study.Under careful questioning, Li Xiao only felt that the sky was about to fall.What kind of person is the King of Jin That is the emperor's most valued prince When Princess Jin died in childbirth, he was thinking about seizing the opportunity to climb this big tree, he hinted at the affection of King Li Moyan of Jin for him several times, and even asked the emperor to marry them, but King Jin always shirked on the grounds that he didn't want to marry for the time being, and the emperor couldn't give a quasi-letter.It's just that he can't climb the big tree of King Jin, but his daughter has offended King Jin, isn't this an obstacle to his future career.Perhaps, as soon as he goes to court tomorrow, King Jin will give him a pair of small shoes to wear in the court.The Ministry of Labor is the fat difference that many people yearn for, if he loses this black gauze hat because of today's events, he will lose more than he gains."

Hey" Li Xiao sighed, stood behind Li Moyan and looked at her back, and scolded: "Such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it with your father in advance" Li Moyan's shoulders shrugged up and down, obviously sobbing lowly, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

A few days ago, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to me and said that Niu Shasha had been given marriage to the King of Jin, and I was anxious when I heard it. ”"Second Miss Xiangfu," Li Xiao asked with a frown.Okay, why did it get to the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion again Li Moyan nodded and said, "Second Miss, Niu Shasha withdrew the marriage contract of Prince Xuan, and then she was given a marriage to King Jin.She said that she knew that I had always admired King Jin, saying that I was skillful and generous, gentle and kind, and that I and the King of Jin should be a match made in heaven, and Niu Shasha was a Cheng Biting Jin who was killed halfway, and she was not worthy of King Jin at all, and she was not worth it for me, so she said she was willing to help me. ”Hearing this, Li Xiao, who had been in the court for many years, suddenly understood what was going on, and dared to love his stupid daughter who was used as a gun by others and didn't know it.Li Xiao rolled her eyes, and she was angry, "She praised you in two sentences and lifted you to the sky, she said she was willing to help you, you believed why she wanted to help you, have you thought about it, it's really stupid."

Tell you, these ten are all the ideas of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”Everyone works together in the same dynasty, and if you want to talk about the family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still has some heard.It is not a matter of a day or two for the second lady of the prime minister's mansion to covet the seat of the main room, but Prime Minister Niu has not been able to straighten it out, as for the reason, he doesn't know this, he only knows that the second lady has a bad stomach, not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two children of the second lady are not very successful."

But, Second Miss" Li Moyan didn't understand why the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't help her, and wanted to argue, but was abruptly interrupted by Li Xiao."

In the future, you'd better stay away from that second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't know how to die by then."

Li Xiao angrily flicked his wide sleeves and turned his back.The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more angry he became.I really didn't expect that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion would use her brains to move his head, and she would use his daughter's feelings for the prince of Jin to make a big fuss, causing his daughter to almost lose her life in a daze.When Mrs.

Shangshu saw that her husband was angry, she hurriedly and secretly glanced at her daughter, which meant that her daughter should not make her father angry.But Li Moyan was still drilling the tip of the horns, as if she hadn't seen her mother's hint, and said unconvinced: "I can't blame me, I thought that Miss Niu had stayed in Qixia Temple for so many years, and she hadn't seen anything in the world, even if she was cured, she was no different from a fool, at least she should be a timid and afraid of things."

Our plan is also seamless, and the victory is in our hands, but who knows that she will be like that" The more Li Moyan said, the more she felt wronged, today's scene in the imperial garden, in front of so many royal relatives and nobles and important ministers of the court, she was embarrassed and thrown home, and when she came home, her parents not only did not comfort her, but also reprimanded her."

I didn't expect her to do what she did if she didn't follow your plan, hehe."

Li Xiao had an urge to go to death head-on, and felt that his daughter was really naïve, so he laughed twice and said: "Let me ask you, the prince of Jin has been single for many years, have you seen him move his heart to a woman, have you put so much effort into it, is the prince of Jin looking at you at a glance, and the woman who can get the prince of Jin to look at him differently will be no different from a fool, I think you are a fool." ”When Li Moyan heard that her father, who usually rarely even said a word about her, scolded her for being a fool, she was even more aggrieved and cried.Mrs.

Shangshu looked distressed, but the head of the family was talking, how dare she go up and persuade easily.What's more, she herself understands what kind of disaster her daughter has caused, and it is a great fortune to have the prime minister's daughter raise her noble hand today.Therefore, no matter how distressed she was, she had to sit and watch with a suddenness."

The prince of Jin has always been not interested in women, and after the death of Princess Qingwan, there is not even a concubine in the palace of King Jin."

Li Xiao walked around the room and said as if talking to himself: "There are not a few officials in the imperial court who want their daughters to continue the strings for the prince of Jin, and I have hinted several times, but I didn't expect him to fall in love with Prime Minister Niu's daughter."

Hey, "the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, although the emperor has set up a prince, and the wind is clear above the court, but everyone has a small abacus in their hearts, and everyone is busy standing in line, and the correctness of this choice will be directly related to the future career development.The prince is scathing, arrogant and domineering, all day long in the wine pond meat forest, there is no political achievement at all, it is really not for the king's material, I don't know what the emperor thinks, even if the prince is crowned with a great treasure in the future, the future of the Daqing Dynasty is also worrying.On the other hand, the third son of the emperor, Jin Wangye, has the world in mind, can be literate, capable of martial arts, and has both ability and political integrity, Li Xiao, who has a bright heart and bright eyes, feels that the sky of the Daqing Dynasty will change sooner or later.Therefore, in his opinion, climbing the big tree of King Jin is a really wise move.Li Xiao was thinking to herself, but Li Moyan wiped her tears and said in a snort: "Dad, my daughter doesn't care, my daughter won't marry if she is not the prince of Jin." ”Isn't this nonsense, "Do you think my father doesn't want you to marry Prince Jin, but this matter also requires the nod of the emperor and the Lord Jin."

Haven't you seen the prince's love for Miss Niu today" Li Xiao turned around and glanced at her, her face full of helplessness.What role can the unilateral willingness of men and women love play in this kind of thing, even if there is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, the dominance is not on them, the other party is a prince, and the marriage contract has to be nodded by the emperor, and it must be done by the emperor's clear will.Li Xiao really can't figure out whether his original decision was right or wrong.It is true that he wants to be married to the prince of Jin, but his daughter's lifelong events are equally important to him.King Jin has been single for six or seven years.Three years ago, he had just been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and when he brought home the news that he wanted his daughter to continue to the King of Jin, his daughter fell in love with the handsome and mighty King Jin, and it was out of control.At that time, my daughter was only sixteen years old and in the mood for love, but now, my daughter is almost twenty years old, and the matter of continuing the string is still unsettled.This makes him a good father.And as soon as he mentioned Baili Qingtian's love for Niu Shasha, Li Moyan's mind unexpectedly crossed the picture of Baili Qingtian protecting Niu Sasha and the hands of the two of them holding together, not to mention how sad it was in his heart, and tears flowed down."

Sir."

When Mrs.

Shangshu heard Li Xiao's tone, she couldn't help but stand up and asked: "Then, what about our daughter, we can't just consume it like this, or else, you will go to the emperor tomorrow to try" Li Xiao glanced at her, and let out a long sigh, "Is this necessary, I am not the only adult in the court who has this mind, if the emperor can agree, I would have agreed a long time ago, so why wait until today" "Dad." ”Li Moyan called Li Xiao, turned around, knelt down in front of Mrs.

Shangshu again, pulled the hem of her clothes, and said pleadingly: "Mother, why don't you go and talk to the emperor, let me be a side concubine, as long as I can marry the prince of Jin, my daughter doesn't mind."

Okay?"

”Li Xiao glared at Li Moyan angrily, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart."

Daughter, how can I do that" Mrs.

Shangshu also exclaimed, looking at her daughter's humble appearance, she only felt that her heart was about to be hurt, hugged Li Moyan and gently stroked her head, and said with a crying voice: "How can my mother be willing to wronged you like that." ”"Mother, I don't mind."

Li Moyan's pear blossoms brought rain, which made people feel pity."

Nonsense.You don't mind, but your dad does. ”Li Xiao glared angrily.He is also an ambitious person, his dignified six books, her daughter, can only marry the royal family and nobles as a concubine, how can it be a side concubine.Li Xiao's angry shout frightened Li Moyan and hurriedly hugged Mrs.

Shangshu's thigh, staring at Li Xiao timidly with a pair of watery eyes.Mrs.

Shangshu couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded softly: "Master, don't be like this, you look scared of your daughter." ”Hey, pouring salt on her daughter's wound, Li Xiao may also feel that she has gone a little too far, so she held back her anger, sighed, and turned her back with a flick of her sleeves.The study was quiet all of a sudden, and for a while, the three people in the room had their own thoughts.Li Moyan buried her face in Mrs.

Shangshu's clothes and cried secretly, thinking that the prince of Jin, who had been in love for several years, was getting farther and farther away from her, and the one who robbed her of her happiness was a rude and rude wild girl who grew up in the temple, and her heart became more and more aggrieved.Li Xiao thought about offending the prince, no, even if he offended the prince's beloved woman, it was imperative that he quickly find a way to make amends.After all, to put it mildly, on the surface, he is a six-book scholar, and he is high, but in fact he is not a clown who looks at the face of the emperor's family.Mrs.

Shangshu is a woman, although she is wronged for her daughter, but under the influence of feudal thinking, her husband is her heaven, and all ideas still depend on her husband.So, she doesn't seem to be able to do anything but comfort her daughter softly.After a while, Li Moyan saw that her father hadn't come up with an idea for a long time, so she couldn't help but secretly give her mother a look, wanting her mother to say a few good words for her."

Mo Yan, don't embarrass your father, it's really not good, we'll find another good family for you, obedient," Mrs.

Shangshu stroked her daughter's head and comforted softly."

Mother" Li Moyan's tears rolled down.Hey, Mrs.

Shangshu also sighed."

Master, or" Who let Li Moyan be her favorite daughter, Mrs.

Shangshu was helpless, so she had to glance at the face of the head of the family, and continued to speak: "Or just follow the daughter, in fact, the side concubine is also" Mrs.

Shangshu felt that she had said very carefully, but before she finished speaking, Li Xiao turned her head sharply and glared at her angrily, which frightened Mrs.

Shangshu's words to stop all at once."

Madam, we are also a family with a head and a face, not to mention that I don't agree with my daughter being someone else's side concubine, it's not a joke.Even if I agree, it depends on what the prince wants. ”Li Xiao was afraid that Mrs. would not understand her hard work, so she said in an aggravated tone: "Didn't Mrs. see how strong the prime minister's daughter is tonight, take a step back and say, Mo Yan and her have a holiday, even if the emperor also decrees marriage, do you think that our daughter will have a good life when she marries into the palace, you can rest assured" Well, Li Xiao's two consecutive questions immediately made Mrs.

Shangshu dumb.That's right, she only thought about satisfying her daughter's wishes, and completely forgot that the concubine who King Jin fell in love with was a person with unfathomable martial arts.Today's palace banquet is because the occasion is not suitable, if there is no emperor and queen present, or a different scene, Mrs.

Shangshu closed her eyes tightly, she seemed to hear the sound of the Qingfeng sword "Qiang Qiang" into the sheath again, as if she also saw her daughter because she offended the prince's concubine, was pierced through the chest by the concubine with a sword, and the bright red blood was flying all over the sky, she really didn't dare to imagine how careful her daughter was everywhere after marrying, how humble she was.No, she can't let her daughter live that kind of life on thin ice.The lord is a member of the imperial court, and they are also good people of high-ranking officials, and her daughter is beautiful and captivating, and it is not that no one wants it, why do you choose to marry the prince of Jin, and she is also a side concubine.No, no.Thinking about it this way, Mrs.

Shangshu kept convincing herself in her heart.Even if her daughter has a deep love for King Jin, she must not be soft-hearted.To be honest, Li Moyan was also dumbfounded by these two questions.Niu Shasha's "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" today, she can best understand the meaning.Let's not mention that the Qingfeng sword that came to her face with the sound of breaking the sky behind her still makes her still have palpitations, let's just say that the two slaps before make her still have two symmetrical red marks on her cheeks, although the faint red marks no longer hurt, but she will never forget the hot feeling.That was her shame in front of everyone, and it was also the most obvious warning Niu Shasha gave her.In the days after getting married, she didn't dare to promise that she would not compete with Niu Shasha for favor, but from this, she could imagine that Niu Shasha didn't dare to guarantee that she would not fight her.Hey, why is it so difficult to love someone Li Moyan sighed softly, and his heart was extremely entangled.As her father was worried about, with Niu Shasha's fierce and savage concubine by King Jin's side, King Jin may not be able to see her good, even if she does, does she have the courage to compete with Niu Shasha for favor Even if she has that courage, according to Niu Shasha's temperament, will her father and mother rest assured Li Moyan sighed, and Mrs.

Shangshu also sighed."

Master, you go to the emperor again to think of a way for our daughter.Mo Yan, don't keep your mind on King Jin, you are not too young, time can't stand the waste, okay" Mrs.

Shangshu understood her daughter's thoughts about King Jin, and she didn't dare to hit her too hard for a while, so she had to persuade: "In addition to King Jin, other princes can also be, besides, there are many princes and nobles in the capital, and my mother and your father will look for you separately." ”Li Moyan sobbed lowly, his head sullen and he didn't say yes or no.Since the words were said like this, Li Xiao knew that her daughter was actually more uncomfortable than herself, so she glanced at her daughter and didn't force her again, but said lightly: "Then I'll go to the emperor tomorrow morning to find out." ”After speaking, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, brushed his sleeves and walked towards the door, when he walked to the door, he suddenly sounded and patronized to discuss his daughter's lifelong events, and there was one most important thing that had not been solved Li Xiao paused, turned around and ordered very seriously: "Madam, it's getting late, go and rest early."

No matter what the emperor's attitude is, don't forget to prepare some generous gifts tomorrow and lead Mo Yan to the Jin Palace, to apologize to the King of Jin and the future princess, you know" After speaking, Li Xiao sighed and walked out of the study with a heavy heart
