After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 700

Xun Shunbo talked about the unfavorable period of time, the loss of half of Xun Shunbo's assets, and the words of Ming Shuo in the early dynasty.

When the two sons heard it, the matter was so serious.

The assets of the family have shrunk by half, so their future

The eldest son said: "Father, you have more than me and my brother!"

Uncle Xun Shun thought right, he still has two concubines.

Is it the work of those two unscrupulous things?

So, calling people over is also asking for family law, ten boards per person.

The legitimate son has been beaten ten times without fault, and the bastard may be the one who offended Mingshuo, so it should be beaten even more.

However, when asked, the two bastards were even more wronged!

The difference between the son-in-law and the concubine in Xun Shunbo's mansion is very obvious, the son-in-law can go out to fight cocks and horses, seek sex and have fun, but the son-in-law has to personally approve it when he goes out.

The legitimate son pays 200 taels of silver a month, and the bastard son pays 20 taels a month.

The legitimate son went to the academy to study, while the concubine went to a private school.

His two sons are completely different in front of Ming Shuo, they can't even reach them, let alone the sons.

Who is that?

The eldest son guessed: "Could it be the younger sisters?"

Uncle Xun Shun got angry today, if this matter is not resolved, Ming Shuo will not stop.

Although he is young, his methods are extremely powerful.

Back then, Gui Yuping, the servant of the second-rank etiquette department, somehow offended Ming Shuo, and then he was demoted several ranks, and was demoted to be the eighth-rank county magistrate!

As for Xun Shunbo's mansion, in Ming Shuo's eyes, he waved his hand, fearing that the Ni family would not be able to stay in the capital.

Xun Shunbo said: "Call everyone here!"

Soon, the four daughters of Xun Shunbo's mansion, one concubine, three concubines, and four daughters all came.

Looking at the little concubine who was only four years old, Uncle Xun Shun asked the nanny to take her away.

Then, looking majestically at the three daughters, he said in a deep voice, "Think about it, when did you offend a person surnamed Ming!"

Xun Shunbo was talking about Ming Shuo, but thinking that his daughters might not have any relationship with Ming Shuo, it would be good to know that his surname is Ming.

When he asked this question, the two concubines were puzzled, but Ni Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and his face froze.

Xun Shunbo's eyes were fixed on the three daughters, and she did not escape his eyes. Xun Shunbo immediately said: "You are so courageous, do you feel that life is easier now? Even Ming Shuo Dare to offend?"

Ni Yuxi stammered: "No, I didn't, I didn't offend Mingshuo!"

"what is the problem?"

Ni Yuxi said aggrievedly: "At that time, at that time, I just said it casually..."

Uncle Xun Shun was going to die of anger, he had a gloomy face: "Don't avoid the important and take the light, you tell me carefully from the beginning, if you dare to hide even the slightest bit, I will break your leg!"

Ni Yuxi was so frightened that she burst into tears. All along, she has a high status in the family, and her father loves her very much. Her two older brothers let her go. As for those concubine brothers and concubine sisters, she doesn't take them seriously.

But now, father is actually killing her.

Seeing that she still didn't make a sound, Uncle Xun Shun was impatient, he said viciously: "Say!"

Where did Ni Yuxi dare to hide anything, so she had to tell everything about the Seventh Prince's reception banquet.

Xun Shunbo heard the veins on his forehead twitch, and his face became more gloomy.

The eldest son said: "Father, my younger sister is targeting Ming Qinxue, and since Qinxue has left the Ming family, she is not considered a member of the Ming family, so my younger sister is not considered to have offended the Ming family, right?"

Xun Shunbo looked at him with a sullen face, his eyes were full of why you are so stupid: "Who is reasoning with you? Are you going to reason with Ming Shuo?"

The eldest son took a step back unconsciously.

He had heard that Mingshuo was so wise and close to a monster, but on the surface he looked like a gentleman, but secretly he was vindictive. Of course, the person who offended him was not referring to those who offended him, but those who offended his family. people.

Therefore, there was a saying quietly circulated among the dandies in the capital: It is better to offend Ming Shuo himself than to offend his family.Offending Ming Shuo himself will only peel off the skin, and if you are lucky and meet him in a good mood, you will only break the skin a little.But to offend his family, that's straight up skinless!

So terrible, who dares to offend?

He thought of what his father said before, and couldn't help but give Ni Yuxi a resentful look: "Little sister, I asked you to go to the party of noble girls in the capital to perform well in that circle, not to offend anyone. Playing the piano, it doesn't matter if anyone dances? If you want to dance by yourself, why are you talking about Ming Qinxue?"

Ni Yuxi sobbed and said: "Father, brother, I am also for our family."

The youngest son said dissatisfiedly: "Yeah, sister, you are our family, do you let our family suffer such a big loss because of you?"

Ni Yuxi cried: "I, how did I know that Ming Shuo would still protect Ming Qinxue? Didn't it all mean that Qinxue and the Ming family had fallen out long ago, and the Ming family didn't care about Ming Qinxue. Before, Miss Qin bullied her in the street, and Ming Is there no one in the family? I just thought, at the beginning, Ming Qinxue retired and humiliated the eldest prince, sister... No, although the eldest prince and concubine married the eldest prince, she must hate Ming Qinxue in her heart Yes, if I embarrass Ming Qinxue, the eldest concubine will definitely remember my loyalty, and as long as she supports her a little bit in the future, will we still have a good life in the uncle's residence?"

Uncle Xun Shun didn't speak.

The eldest son said: "Didn't you say Mr. Jiang has a good impression of you?"

The youngest son snorted, "He is the son of the Taifu family, the second only to Mingshuo among the younger generation in the capital!"

The eldest son refused to accept: "So what? Our uncle's residence is honorable, and it's not too bad!"

The youngest son looked at him with contempt: "Only you think that a lord from the uncle's mansion can surpass the family background of the Taifu!"

Uncle Xun Shun didn't like to hear these words anymore, he said lightly: "You don't have to say that, marrying a daughter is more expensive than marrying a wife. Our uncle's residence is not as good as the Taifu's residence, but as long as the Taifu's son I like your sister, is this little gap a problem?"

The youngest son didn't dare to quarrel with his father, so he had to change the subject: "Father, let's talk about the fact that my younger sister offended the Ming family first!"

Xun Shunbo glanced at Ni Yuxi, and asked, "Didn't you also accept the post, and Master Jiang will also attend the poetry tea party held by Princess Rilan in Yuqingyuan?"

Where did Ni Yuxi know?
But she knew in her heart that because of Ming Qinxue's incident, Ming Shuo provoked Xun Shunbo's mansion, and now her father and brothers have resentment towards her.Her eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice: "Yes...but, although Mr. Jiang helped me last time, I...we don't know him very well!"

The eldest son smiled and said: "Sister, you are a bit modest in your words. Who doesn't know that you and Jiang Xin... Concubine Jing are close? In the past, Concubine Jing liked to take you with her when attending parties. You must have seen Mr. Jiang a lot. Otherwise, why did Mr. Jiang speak for you last time?"

Is that right?

Ni Yuxi remembered that he had indeed met Mr. Jiang several times.

After all, the brothers and sisters of the Jiang family are so outstanding, and their family background is so prominent, Jiang Taifu's status is honorable, whenever there is a gathering in Beijing, who would not be proud of their brothers and sisters being able to come?No matter whether you come or not, the post will be delivered.

The Jiang brothers and sisters are also very approachable.

It's just because of the great defense between men and women, she never spoke to Jiang Mian until the reception banquet of the Seventh Prince.

And that white Sipa!
There was a slight smile on Ni Yuxi's face, with a slight blush.Maybe the eldest brother is right, she has seen Young Master Jiang, and Young Master Jiang has seen her too.

Dad said that marrying a wife is low, and marrying a husband is high. Although her father and brother are only idlers and have not exceeded the sixth rank, Mr. Jiang is also a sixth rank now.

No need for others to say more, she has already imagined the whole possibility in her mind.

Xun Shunbo's expression was still not happy, and he said calmly: "Xi'er, if you have a chance the day after tomorrow, you can have a good chat with Mr. Jiang, and if you become friends with Jiang's family, it is not a big deal to offend an abandoned daughter of the Ming family. I believe Mingshuo will give the Jiang family this face!"

Before Ni Yuxi could understand, he saw that Xun Shunbo's face had darkened slightly, and his voice was a little cold: "If you can't ask Mr. Jiang to intercede for you the day after tomorrow, then you should go to Ming Qinxue's residence and kneel to plead guilty. Until she personally apologizes!"

Xun Shunbo knew that if there was no intercession, that lunatic in Mingshuo would always target Xun Shunbo's mansion, an apology was necessary, and only if Ming Qinxue forgave, that lunatic in Mingshuo would stop.

Why not just apologize tomorrow?

Ming Qinxue would probably not accept an ordinary apology, and Ming Shuo would also feel that it was insincere.

Tomorrow, if Ni Yuxi were to kneel down and apologize first, if Mr. Jiang really liked Xi'er, then he would feel disgusted if he learned that Xi'er had apologized to the abandoned daughter of the Ming family!
Even if Mr. Jiang doesn't dislike him, what about the Jiang family, and Princess Jing?

Concubine Jing definitely has feelings for Ming Qinxue, if she apologizes first, even if Young Master Jiang has thoughts about Xi'er, Concubine Jing will not agree.

Even for so long, Xi'er has been trying to curry favor with Princess Jing in every possible way, and all her efforts were in vain.

The youngest son was surprised: "It's just an apology, why do you need to kneel? If you really want to kneel, what face do I have in Xun Shunbo's residence?"

Uncle Xun Shun said coldly: "What face do you think my uncle's mansion has now? If you want to make my uncle's mansion have face, you should work hard! Then you can also be a sixth-rank Hanlin bachelor at this age, what do you think? Whatever you do, I will support you as a father!"

The two sons fell silent for a moment.

They were thinking about what their father said, the day after tomorrow, little sister, Mr. Jiang, what do you think?
Why do they feel so unreal?
But it seems full of hope.

Even Ni Yuxi himself began to look forward to the day after tomorrow.

She didn't want to apologize to Ming Qinxue.

If it was Ming Qinxue in the past, it would be about the same, but now she is just an abandoned daughter of the Ming family, unable to get into the circle of noble girls, and has started to go into business, let alone get on the stage.

Some people would give her a post at some gatherings because of her surname and her previous fame, but she didn't even shy away from it. If there was a post, she would go there, and she had long been unhappy with her.

Therefore, she must succeed the day after tomorrow.

But she and Jiang Mian really didn't seem to know each other very well, even though Jiang Mian talked to her that day, it was just to save him and say a few words.

the day after tomorrow!

Princess Lan!
Yuqing Court!
Poetry tea party!
Ni Yuxi also secretly made up her mind.

She doesn't want to live the life she has now.

In father's eyes, the two elder brothers will stand up for the family in the future, and even the uncle brother is better than her, the daughter who is going to marry, in father's eyes.

If she can't marry a good family, she won't be able to rely on anyone in the future.

If that good family is the Jiang family...

That is not only the Taifu's mansion, but also the natal family of Princess Jing!

With King Jing's current status in the court, it is not impossible to be extremely honorable in the future, so Princess Jing will become the empress.The queen's natal family...

Just thinking about it, Ni Yuxi's eyes glowed.

Since Jiang Mian would comfort her, it means that he also appreciates her.So she has a chance.

From a close look, she doesn't need to apologize to Ming Qinxue's lowly servant girl who has become a merchant girl;

Seen from a distance, that is the glory and wealth of her life!

She had to think of a way, she was only allowed to succeed, not to fail!

While Ni Yuxi was thinking of a solution, Chu Jingxian was busy.

He was urged by the Minister of Rites to make arrangements for receiving the princes of the Western Tang Dynasty.

The Minister of Rites earnestly said: "His Royal Highness Chu, you have to take it seriously. This is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. We must not be tight, loose, hard, or soft!"

"Why? Just follow the normal regulations. Over the years, there have been regulations for reception matters!" Chu Jingxian said reluctantly: "The departments of the Ministry of Rites can follow the regulations!"

"Oh, my lord!" The Minister of Rites shook his head and sighed, and said, "People in the Western Tang Dynasty have always been belligerent. If they are hardened, and they are suspected of being contemptuous and provocative, the envoys of the Western Tang Dynasty will inevitably cause trouble; but if they are too soft, the Western Tang Dynasty The people of Tang thought that I, Dongxia, would be easy to bully, and they would definitely want to invade my border again!"

"Then call back!"

"His Royal Highness, how can it be so easy to fight? Soldiers, horses, food, and grass, don't need to spend money? What is spent in war is money! The two countries can establish diplomatic relations with just one reception. It not only promotes the prestige of our Eastern Xia country, but also lets The people of the Western Tang Dynasty have seen my strength of character in Dongxia, this is the best policy! This is to subdue others without fighting!"

Chu Jingxian said: "Have you ever heard of it, Mr. Shangshu? A weak country has no diplomacy! It is impossible for Xitang to put away his aggression in a reception matter. What can make them put away their evil intentions is my Eastern Xia border. Soldiers! And Brother Wu Huang, who defeated them and begged for peace!"

The Minister of Rites said: "Your Highness said that, but now the two countries are still at peace. Since Your Highness has accepted this mission, if you fail to handle it well, and the emperor punishes you, Your Highness will definitely be punished. Not only will you have to pay a fine and be reprimanded. It is more likely to make His Highness pay more attention to learning some things His Highness does not like, and may even prohibit His Highness from betting against others! As long as His Highness does this job well, the Emperor will be happy, won’t His Highness be more free to do whatever he wants in the future?"

Chu Jingxian looked at him: "My lord, are you a child of my king? Are you using this kind of coaxing tone?"

The Minister of Rites is really helpless, not because the name of this dandy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he has never cooperated with His Highness the Seventh Prince. Thinking about it, the Seventh Prince was temporarily ordered in the court, and he was unwilling in every possible way. This is another person who does whatever he wants. When the time comes, the brain hair shaft...

Moreover, he also persuaded him two or three times. What Chu Jingxian meant was that everything should be done according to the past regulations, and there was no need to make additional arrangements.He only said a few more words when he felt it was inappropriate, but for a moment he forgot that although this guy is a dandy, he is not a child, he was coaxing just now, maybe he offended this master!
