After Xie Fanghua made a decision, he asked the waiter to help him go to Xie Yunlan to discuss.The news in the palace naturally couldn't be hidden from Xie Yunlan, and Fengli had already told him, he listened to Xie Fanghua's decision, and was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Fanghua, you are to Qin Zheng" "Brother Yunlan, the marriage contract has not been destroyed for a day, and I am his fiancée after all." ”Xie Fanghua said softly.Xie Yunlan raised his eyes and stared at her.Xie Fanghua didn't dodge or dodge, and met his eyes.After a while, Xie Yunlan turned his head and smiled faintly, the smile was a little bitter, he lowered his eyelashes, "You know, as long as you make a decision and advocate something, I will not say a word." ”Xie Fanghua's heart ached, and he was speechless for a while."
How smart are you, let me" Xie Yunlan looked at the ground, his voice was extremely soft, "It's true" Xie Fanghua's body was almost unstable, if it weren't for the injury on her leg and she couldn't move, she almost wanted to get out of the door.Xie Yunlan suddenly raised his head, looked at Xie Fanghua, and smiled shallowly, "Fanghua, what are you suddenly afraid of me doing" Xie Fanghua didn't dare to look at him for a while, but he couldn't help but look at him, his body sat stiffly on the chair, and he spoke hoarsely for a long time before he spoke hoarsely, "Brother Yunlan, I never thought that you wouldn't be able to me" She had never spoken in such a choppy tone, clenching her sleeves for a while, and her mind was chaotic."
I also thought I wouldn't" Xie Yunlan looked at her with a slightly mocking expression, "but I didn't expect it involuntarily." ”Xie Fanghua lowered his head.Xie Yunlan suddenly sighed, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, as long as you have a marriage contract for one day, or, if you don't want to treat me, I won't make it difficult for you."
Grandmother's dying words, if you don't tell the truth, you will treat it as if she didn't say it. ”Xie Fanghua's eyes were sour for a while, remembering his previous life, he stretched out his hand to cover his heart, and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say it, so he could only nod.Xie Yunlan looked at her, and after half a ring, she smiled gently and dotingly, "silly girl" Xie Fanghua was even more uncomfortable for a while, and finally raised her head to look at him, "Brother Yunlan" "The most difficult thing in the world to control is the human heart, sometimes, your own heart can't be your own decision, but you can also be the master, and your heart has two sides, it just depends on how you do it." ”Xie Yunlan heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, he withdrew his hand, looked out the window, and said with a normal expression, "You promise me, if this fire is burned and this marriage contract is burned, you will retract your heart, change your side, and give it to me" Xie Fanghua's body froze again."
It's the old marquis and Uncle Cui who have come back from the palace."
Xie Yunlan retracted his gaze and stared at her, "Things have come to this point, hurting yourself and hurting others, if it can't be done, it will be even more difficult to say in the future."
Fanghua, between the retraction and release, it's not so difficult for me" Xie Fanghua's heart pounded twice, and when she heard the footsteps of the two people at the door, she was about to push the door in, she closed her eyes, "If I can't, I" The door slammed, and was pushed open from the outside, and Zhongyong Marquis and Cui Yun strode in.Xie Fanghua turned his head sharply to look at the door."
Stinky girl, what kind of expression do you have, you are sad knowing what Qin Zheng said in the palace today" Marquis Zhongyong came in, and saw that Xie Fanghua's face was wrong, and glared at her fiercely, "My old man has begged many times, and the emperor will not open his mouth to cancel the marriage."
Don't worry, early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to see the emperor and ask him to take back the marriage. ”Xie Fanghua didn't speak.Cui Yun sighed and said puzzledly, "Didn't the emperor always dislike this marriage contract and always tried every means to break it up, it stands to reason that today is a good time, he should agree, I don't understand why he doesn't agree." ”"Why else did this happen so suddenly, Qin Zheng, that bastard used to blindly want to forcibly propose marriage, but now he suddenly wants to regret the marriage, he was caught off guard, for fear of fraud."
Loyal and brave Marquis."
How else can there be an injury to the body of a deceitful girl, but it's not a fake."
Cui Yun rubbed his forehead, "I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and I find that the emperor is really different from before."
It's deeper and more ruthless than before. ”Marquis Zhongyong snorted, "His life is short, he can seize the opportunity, and he will not let go of life or death." ”Cui Yun's face changed."
Grandpa, I just discussed with Brother Yunlan, and now I will gather those clansmen in our mansion, if there are no objections, we will divide the clans and clans today."
Xie Fanghua said to Zhongyong.Zhongyong Hou was stunned for a moment, "Today" Xie Fanghua nodded.Zhongyong Hou thought for a while, and looked at Xie Fanghua with a straight face, "Hua girl, now you are talking about your marriage, if you are not careful, it will be irreparable" "I know" Xie Fanghua pursed her lips."
Okay, that's it," Marquis Zhongyong waved his hand, "You two clean up, I'll go to the patriarch now." ”Xie Fanghua bowed her head, Zhongyong Hou and Cui Yun walked out together, and she asked the waiter to help her back to her room.Feng Li entered the house to help Xie Yunlan re-tie his hair and change his clothes.After the two of them were ready, the waiter came to pray, and the old marquis and the patriarch gathered everyone, and now they are in the council room, and invite the two of them over.Xie Yunlan was injured in the back, and now that seven days have passed, he can walk slowly by himself, without being supported, but he can't walk quickly.Xie Fanghua was supported by the waiter painting and waiter, and she couldn't walk fast, but because of excessive blood loss, even if she walked slowly, she came to the council hall, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her body along the way.As soon as the two of them arrived, the eyes of hundreds of people fell on the two of them.There are many people who have never seen Xie Fanghua, and they can't help but look at her carefully, this only young lady in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been quietly ill for the past few years, and in the past half a year, there have been too many rumors about her to count.Now I can see that she is wearing a splendid silk tail and a long skirt, with a slender figure and a clear appearance, although she is injured and supported by the maidservant left and right, she is not dignified and elegant, especially her complexion, like the clear water of the blue lake, and she is extremely calm.Those eyes swept over, and seemed to look at everyone, although it was only a glance, but it made people feel as if they knew all the details of it.Originally, some people thought that it was unhappy to let a daughter who had just arrived at Lu to take charge of the Xie family's affairs and participate in such a big matter, and because of the support of the old marquis and Xie Shizi, no one said much, but now that they saw her, they immediately suppressed their contempt.Thinking of the rumors in the palace today, there was no sadness on her face, and everyone raised their hearts again.Xie Fanghua came to the side of the Marquis of Zhongyong and gave a salute to the patriarch of the Xie clan and other people."
The virtuous niece is injured, don't be polite," the patriarch of the Xie clan hurriedly said.Xie Fanghua smiled, the waiter and the waiter helped her sit on the chair next to the Zhongyong Marquis, Xie Yunlan came over and sat next to her, behind him, Fengli and the waiter held a large stack of account books.Everyone's eyes fell on those account books, and their faces became solemn for a while.Marquis Zhongyong waved his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and then slowly spoke, "It's been so many days, you have all thought about the fact that Hua Yatou is here today, and she proposed to divide the clan and sect, if you have any questions, just ask her now, she will answer, we will settle this matter today, don't delay any longer." ”"Yes, if you uncles and brothers have any problems or difficulties, you can tell me."
Xie Fanghua looked at everyone, "Although I am a daughter's family, I was born in the Xie family, born in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, I haven't stepped out of this door for a day, and I am a person of the Xie family for a day, even if I step out of the door in the future, I will not forget my surname Xie." ”As she spoke, everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked at the patriarch of the Xie clan.The patriarch of the Xie clan thought for a moment and said, "In the past few days, I have already talked with everyone in private.Except for a few clan relatives who currently have no heirs in the family, and no successors, after the division of the clan, they have separated from the clan and rely on them, I am afraid it is not easy to gain a foothold, and the rest of the people generally have no opinions.They all agreed to divide the clans and clans. ”"Who are these people?"
Xie Fanghua asked."
You all come out," the Xie clan patriarch beckoned.Four or five people came out.Xie Fanghua looked at them again, thought for a while, and said, "A few uncles can choose to be close to their clansmen.Among the people here, there are people who are willing to accept them, "Everyone was stunned, that is to say, under the big division, those who are willing to merge in the small places can still be combined into a family."
For a while, I thought about the pros and cons."
The advantage is that after the merger, it is a family, and it is necessary to go to the official office to seal it, and since then, the property is also one, and the heirs inherit it, so naturally there is no need to worry, and it is always easy for the family to pass over.The disadvantages are mutual, and the more you take care of them, the more burdens you have. ”After Xie Fanghua analyzed the pros and cons, he said to those people, "You can also not choose to rely on them, I said earlier, although our Xie family is divided, but we are still surnamed Xie, whoever has difficulties, at least, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will not stand idly by." ”"If a few uncles can afford Yunlan, they can be recorded in my name, but they don't need to go to the official office to seal it, and your property is still independent.Although Yunlan is not talented, once you have something, it is no problem for me to protect a few uncles. ”Xie Yunlan spoke at this time, "In addition, I personally promised that I would take care of it in my lifetime, and once something happened to me, I would not involve everyone, and I would entrust someone to settle you." ”When a few people heard this, they looked at each other, this is a good thing with no disadvantages but only advantages, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in unison."
That's it, Yunlan will bother in the future."
Patriarch Xie said."
Is there anyone else who has a problem?"
Xie Fanghua looked at everyone.Everyone looked at each other again, and after a while, they all shook, although the division of clans and clans was sudden, but since the ancestral hall was opened on that day, the next day, Xie Yunlan made a list of a series of distribution matters such as property, one for each person, indicating which family got how much, and at the same time indicating the reason, very careful and eye-catching, and reasonable, so that no one could find a rebuttal of the fault.Naturally, there is no objection."
Since there is no objection, this matter is decided" Zhongyong Hou made a final decision."
There must be a witness grandfather, let people invite Li Youxiang, Zheng Yushi and Yongkang Hou to come and be a witness" Xie Fanghua didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but thinking about it, she and Xie Yunlan came back covered in blood that day, they must have seen it, and it should have been so smooth.People have weaknesses, they all like to be happy and smooth, they don't like bloody wind and rain, and now although the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is prosperous, it is floating on the cusp.Marquis Zhongyong nodded, and instructed the servant to ask for someone.After the waiter left, Xie Fanghua instructed the waiter to paint.Shimo divided all the accounts.Some people have one, some have two, and some have several copies, and when they hold them in their hands, many people have happy and sad expressions on their faces.The good thing is that over the years, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been holding the entire Xie family's lifeline, although the Xie family's wealth is monstrous, but the top wealth is the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, to put it bluntly, even if the side branch relatives eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, they are also divided by the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.Now that it is divided, it is out of the clamp of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he eats will no longer look at the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion in the future.Sadly, since then, they have been separated from the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, and no matter how glorious the Zhongyong Marquis will be in the future, it will not be their glory, and the suffering of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will not implicate them.This word of thanks, in the end, is not both glory and loss.The thousand-year-old clan is no more.Half an hour later, Li Youxiang, Zheng Yushi, and Yongkang Hou came to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion together.When the waiter invited the three of them, he didn't explain the reason, but only said that the old marquis was invited.The three of them naturally didn't delay their efforts, and speculated all the way about what the Marquis of Zhongyong asked them to do, until they entered the conference hall, and the Marquis of Zhongyong explained the intention of inviting the three of them, and the three of them stood on the ground.Dividing the clan and sect is such a big deal They never thought that such a thing would appear on the Xie family, and for a while they suspected that they had heard it wrong.It wasn't until the Marquis of Zhongyong nodded affirmatively, and they looked at everyone and nodded at the two of them, that they came back to their senses.After all, the three of them are loyal ministers of the court, and they have been in the court for most of their lives, and they have experienced a lot of ups and downs, although this incident was too shocking, but after a while, the three of them calmed down.Marquis Yongkang couldn't help but say, "Old Marquis, can the emperor know about this matter" Marquis Zhongyong shook his head, "This is a matter within the Xie clan, it doesn't involve the royal family, so you don't need to tell the emperor."
There are three adults who become witnesses, and then report to the government to do the formalities of sealing the letter, and that's it. ”"Although this doesn't involve the royal family, but such a big matter will affect the lifeblood of Nanqin" Yongkang Hou exclaimed, "How can you make your own decisions without telling the emperor" "Yongkang Hou, your wife almost killed one person and two lives a few days ago, which scared you" Zhongyong Hou patted Yongkang Hou on the shoulder, he was a round older than him, like a junior, "You weren't so timid before, you didn't do anything, but now you have regressed, you are young, and you are not as good as an old man like me." ”Yongkang Hou suddenly remembered that Xie Fanghua had saved her wife, and suddenly disappeared with a white face."
Li Ting, you are the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, you have always been smooth and steady, do you think my old man is right" Marquis Zhongyong blocked the mouth of Marquis Yongkang, and looked at the right minister.Right Prime Minister thought that this thing was not sudden, it seems that the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion had already made up its mind, and he was just waiting for today.Even if he was against it, it was impossible not to do it.If he wanted to ask the emperor for instructions, it seemed impossible.He sighed secretly, not knowing how shocked the emperor would be when he knew, and nodded, "The old marquis is right, this is indeed a matter within the Xie clan." ”Marquis Zhongyong nodded and looked at Zheng Yushi.Zheng Yushi saw that the right minister Li Ting had expressed his position, so he naturally had to express his position, and nodded, "The old marquis is right." ”"Okay, it's up to the three of you to be a witness," Marquis Zhongyong patted the right minister and Zheng Yushi's shoulders again, and said with emotion, "I don't give up the inheritance of my ancestors, but you know, the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion is now on the cusp, and if it can save the lives of the clansmen, the foundation is just that."
Wait for me to be under the nine springs, and go to ask the ancestors and the ancestors for their sins. ”When the three of them heard this, the Marquis of Yongkang, the Right Minister, and Zheng Yushi felt that the words of the Marquis of Zhongyong were sad for a while, and it was not surprising to think of the current situation of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to do such a big thing.With three people testifying, signing separately, and stamping a private seal, this case of clan division is completed.After that, the Marquis of Zhongyong left the three of them to hold a banquet in the mansion, and where the three of them were in the mood to stay for a banquet, they all shirked it.Marquis Zhongyong also knew that the three of them were in a hurry to enter the palace, and he didn't force them to stay, so he sent the three out of the house.After the three of them left the house, they hurriedly went to the palace together.After the three of them left, the Marquis of Zhongyong ordered a banquet, and the relatives of the other tribes had a dinner party of different clans.After the dinner, in addition to everyone with the same surname and thanks, they will support their own courts in the future.Everyone nodded in unison, and for a while, they cherished this dinner very much.When the Marquis of Yongkang, the Right Minister, and Zheng Yushi were invited to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, the emperor got the news, and speculated with a calm face for a while, "What does the Marquis of Zhongyong want to do" "The old slave is sending someone to investigate" Wu Quan immediately said, "Except for the three people who were invited, there is no other movement in the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and there is nothing wrong with it, so the emperor is a little restless." ”The emperor paced twice in the imperial study, "what about the four princes" and "at the queen's mother" Wu Quan said."
Go and get him," the Emperor waved irritably.Wu Quan responded with a "yes" and immediately went to Fengluan Palace.The queen was pulling Qin Yu to guess how the emperor would decide on the marriage of Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua, and when she saw Wu Quan coming to invite, she asked tentatively, "Gonggong Wu, what is the emperor looking for Yu'er?"
"Back to the queen's mother, Yongkang Hou, Youxiang, and Zheng Yushi were invited to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and after the emperor heard about it, he sent the old slave to invite the four princes. ”Wu Quan didn't hide it.The queen was puzzled and looked at Qin Yu."
Queen Mother, rest, I'll go to my father's place."
Hearing this, Qin Yu thought for a moment, stood up and followed Wu Quan out of Fengluan Palace.Qin Yu had just arrived at the imperial study, and before he could talk to the emperor, the three of them had already entered the palace, and when they heard the report outside, the emperor didn't expect the three of them to leave the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and enter the palace so quickly, and immediately said, "Let the three of them come in", ------ digression------ Well, I was bumpy in the wind and rain, and I didn't see the tickets, which was really sad:
