Chapter 648

Due to Wang Hong's funeral, Xie Huilian's eldest son banquet had to be postponed to half a month later.

Although the Xie family's happy event had to be postponed, there was no reason for the royal wedding to give way to the funeral of the courtiers.

Ever since Liu Yilong issued a decree to marry Tan Zhi and Princess Kangchang of Yuzhang, many officials from the court and China came to congratulate him.Although these people don't necessarily see jokes in their hearts, there are really many congratulatory gifts.

Coupled with the wedding regulations that royal princesses already have, the Tan Mansion has made a small fortune before and after.

Tan Yaoyu was thinking in her heart, when the marriage was messed up, would she just let her take the gift for herself?Presumably the elder brother and father would not care about these things with her.

Many people speculated that the Tan family would find another way to reject this marriage.After all, Tan Zhi is the leader of the younger generation, it would be a pity if he gave up his future for an inconspicuous eldest princess.

But the Tan family unexpectedly started to prepare seriously.No matter who the Tanjia Dalang listened to congratulate, he always greeted him with a smile, without any sign of dissatisfaction.

Everyone also understood in their hearts that in terms of talent and appearance alone, Princess Kangzhang of Yuzhang was indeed inferior, but after all, she was also a royal family, and the Tan family really loved the princess, so it might be a good thing to be tied to the royal family in the future.

There were even rumors that the three sons of the Tan family fought for a princess, and the youngest son had a leg broken and lay on the bed unable to move.

Just when the preparations for the wedding were in full swing, there was another gossip in the market, which was widely spread.It is said that Princess Kangchang of Yuzhang actually likes to moleste children, and the servants around her are not real servants, but underage boys.

The scandal of the royal family, the extraordinary fragrance, and it was just in time for the marriage.This news almost met all the conditions to be used as a topic of conversation, and it was quickly spread in Jiankang City vividly and joyfully.

Without exception, all the officials laughed at the Tan family behind their backs. In order to curry favor with the royal family, they would even marry such a princess!
Tan Daoji couldn't sit still any longer, so he went to invite Yu directly for questioning.

"What the hell is going on? But you are spreading rumors secretly? Do you know that slandering the royal family is a capital offense!"

Tan Yaoyu was expressionless, and asked without answering: "Father thinks, if Emperor Song finds out about this rumor, will he change his mind?"

Tan Daoji was silent.From the current point of view, it is really unreasonable to give such an indiscreet princess to a meritorious minister.But Liu Yilong is not afraid of chilling the Tan family's heart now, or in other words, he is just testing the Tan family's bottom line.

Tan Daoji worried: "I'm afraid this marriage will not be canceled so easily. After all, the rumors in the market are all speculations. The emperor will not change his words because of this. I'm afraid that those who spread rumors will be punished."

Tan Zhaoyu knew that his father was worried that he would be implicated, so he explained: "The news came from the Dachang Princess's mansion. If Emperor Song wants to investigate, he must first punish his sister. As for raising children , is actually not a lie.”

Tan Daoji's eyes widened, and he didn't know whether he should teach his daughter to speak such obscene words first, or he should be angry that Yuzhang Kangchang Princess is so shameless!
Tan Daoji has seen the scene when Xingzhelou delivered the news to Yaoyu.So although this matter was extremely private, since Yao Yu said it was true, he believed it must be true.

Tan Daoji sat silently, but his fists became tighter and tighter due to anger!

"No, I will enter the palace right now, please take back my life! Even if it is my old life, I can't let your eldest brother marry such an unbearable woman!"

Yao Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Tan Daoji, "Dad, do you have evidence? You can't really drag those fake servants to have a medical examination, right? Dad should know that even if you find out the truth, Emperor Song will only cover it up for the sake of the royal family's face." .And if you go to Emperor Song and say it, I'm afraid the Tan family will be accused of slandering the royal family."

Tan Daoji was just in a moment of urgency, and he calmed down when stopped by his daughter, "Then what should I do as a father?"

Tan invites rain to spread his hands, with a look of resignation, "Of course we wait for the royal family to investigate the authenticity of this matter. We just need to stand still. Don't worry, father, I will only give Emperor Song one month. If within this month If he can still change his mind, then everything will be fine. Otherwise, he will have nothing to eat."

Tan Daoji still wanted to ask, but remembered that he promised to let his daughter take full responsibility, so he kept silent.As for Tan Chengbo's broken leg, he didn't say a word.

Half a month later, the Xie family's eldest son banquet finally started under the eyes of everyone.In Jiankang City, all the famous people were present.

The gate of Xie Mansion was opened, and the carriages in front of the gate were blocked all the way to the main street in Changganli.But even so, there are still guests coming from all sides.

Although Xie Huilian had long since realized how to become the eldest son, it was only at this time that he realized what kind of position he was standing in.

The sons and daughters of the Xie family who had dismissed him once saluted and greeted him one after another.

In the past, he didn't even know whether he was fat or thin. The clan's children are now trying their best to please him.

Even the court officials and the children of the royal family should treat him with a smile and make friends with him.

Of course, this is not only because he is the eldest son of the Xie family, but also because he is the younger brother of the favorite concubine, and he has the halo of being a disciple of the Five Schools Hall.

Mrs. Xie was unable to congratulate her due to her status, but sent someone to send a large cart of congratulatory gifts.Liu Yilong also sent someone to send a set of study rooms.All the guests were envious.

Xie Hongwei, the suzerain of the Xie family, brought people here from Chen County more than a month ago, and now he is helping to greet the guests, and seems to be very satisfied with the new eldest son.

Since Xie Huilian was included in the branch of the former suzerain Xie Hun, Princess Jinling also broke the rule of not returning to Jiankang, and came to celebrate Xie Huilian in person.The deceased husband's incense continues, which probably makes Princess Jinling more happy than having an extra eldest son in the Xie family.

Naturally, several walkers from the Wuxue Hall were also present.They were surrounded by young gentlemen three times inside and outside three times, and they seemed to be more popular than Xie Huilian.

Xie Huilian had been welcoming the guests in front, and now his face froze with a smile. It was not until Wang Jiaqilang arrived with the suzerain of the Langya Wang clan that Xie Huilian looked at Wang Wulang next to him with some concern.

Without flinching, Wang Wulang stepped forward to salute generously, "Uncle, Seventh Brother, you are here."

Wang Qilang glanced at Xie Huilian, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't see Fifth Brother doing so much for my family's funeral."

Wang Wulang didn't seem to understand what was in the words, so he just smiled and said: "The Wang family has their uncle and seventh brother, so there is no need for such an idle person like me. Both Xie Jiu and I worship under the door of Wuxueguan. Naturally, I want to help my fellow disciples."

Xie Huilian also stepped forward and stood side by side with Wang Wulang, "It's a great honor for you two to come. There are so many people in the mansion today, please don't blame me." Wang Wulang trusted him so much that he asked Wang Wulang to welcome the guests for him.

"Cousin," Tan Zhi and Tan Can appeared out of nowhere at this time, "You are busy with your work, and my two brothers will lead Sect Master Wang in for you."

Xie Huilian nodded gratefully to the brothers of the Tan family, and then bowed to Suzerain Wang, "Please, suzerain."

Wang Qilang felt that he was being slighted, but he couldn't get angry on the spot.He muttered straight: "A bastard, an abandoned son, and a green hat, how dare you show off your might in front of my lord."

Although Wang Qilang said in a low voice, Wang Zongzhu who was in front of him also heard it.He turned his head and gave Wang Qilang a hard look, "I can't help but speak."
