Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 123

Xie Yuan and Yan Xiu led the way, walked down the second floor of the academy, and went all the way to the hanging flower gate of the Hanxuan Courtyard. They met Prince Gong in a deep purple robe and his son Pei Xuan in a noble uniform. Everyone saluted King Gong, Xie Yuan's excited words were useless. Although he had to call King Gong a cousin according to his seniority, this cousin was too high-status and too airy. How could he have thought that this great Buddha would come over when his daughter was engaged? I have invited you, but I didn't dare to expect that he would really come.

Prince Gong asked everyone to be excused. After going up to the second floor, Xie Yuan and Yan Xiuzun sat at the main seat, and Yan Xiu was at the bottom. Then in turn backward.

Pei Xuan stood behind Prince Gong. Xie Yuan offered him the seat, but Pei Xuan shook his head and refused. He insisted on standing beside Prince Gong, with Yanxiu next to him.

But what is his identity, if he doesn't sit down, other people always feel that it's not right to sit or stand, it's very awkward, and they all want to give up their seats to Pei Xuan, and finally King Gong waved his hand and said: "Leave him alone, you two Sit down."

A word from Prince Gong reassured everyone. After sitting down, he first said a few words of congratulations to Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan thanked him sincerely. Xiu’s small episode about the war in southern Xinjiang, and then asked questions about life, Yan Xiu answered them one by one. On the surface, he was very calm, but in his heart he was very puzzled. He always felt that what Prince Gong said today was a bit wrong taste.But when the prince asked, he couldn't answer.What made Yan Xiu feel surprised and puzzled by Gengjia was that Pei Xuan, the eldest son, had never had any friendship with him, but for some reason today, he actually agreed with him in everything. Prince Gong asked some difficult questions Sometimes, he circled around for himself, really caring and thoughtful, leaving Yan Xiu in a fog.

The three tallest men in the entire hall were talking, and the others couldn't get in even if they wanted to. What's more, Prince Gong didn't seem to want people to disturb him and his narration. Finally, after a long list of nonsense, , Prince Gong, who has always maintained an attitude of enthusiasm, finally said something, compared with those specious questions just now, it seemed a bit enlightening. About his daughter Yan Zhaohua.

Yan Xiu was at a loss, and had never heard of such a thing, so he was a little embarrassed immediately. Prince Gong's persistent boasting of Zhaohua seemed to make Yan Xiu realize something. King Gong looked at Yan Xiu, revealing With a smile:
"Look at me, I can't hold back when I talk about this, but what I said was the truth. Since then, this king has remembered Lingmei."

Yan Xiu's expression was a bit awkward, but it was inconvenient for him to attack, and he smiled apologetically: "Where is it, the lord praised it absurdly."

He glanced at Prince Gong, and then at Prince Gong's son, Pei Xuan immediately understood, and added: "Master Hou, you don't need to be modest, Miss Yan is indeed very kind."

"..."

Prince Gong kept praising, and Pei Xuan kept agreeing. If Yan Xiu couldn't understand the meaning of the father and son like this, then his years in officialdom would have been in vain.And some of the colleagues next to him are all human beings, and they will always have some meaning.

The attitude of Prince Gong and his son is probably due to his liking for the eldest daughter of Yan Mansion, the eldest daughter of County Zhaohua!
Xie Yuan's thoughts moved quickly, and he immediately realized the urgency of the situation. In order to create a quieter environment for Yan Xiu and Prince Gong, he simply got up and led his colleagues downstairs: "Let's go, Dongyuan has just built a The pavilion is very elegant, but there is still a lack of an inscription, and all of you here are well-educated scribes, and I hope to give you a name."

Although Xie Yuan's excuse was clumsy, everyone was not stupid. They knew that Prince Gong and Yan Hou had something to discuss, even though they wished to stay and watch the gossip, everyone knew whether the gossip was good or not.

Ever since Yanxiu went to the battlefield and won the battle, his murderous aura has not been concealed, and he can no longer speak casually as usual, not to mention Prince Gong, because his identity is there, the only younger brother of the emperor, the king of power, One sentence can determine the fate and future of a life, and you can't afford to be offended. These two old people can't be offended, let alone add a little Hell. Recently, the Nancheng Street case that made the Beijing family fearful, although the person behind the scenes has never appeared, but Many clues point to this prince Pei. Thinking of the recent bloody storms and misty clouds, this prince's handwriting is really no less than that of his father, and he is even better than blue. Supported by the emperor, such a hidden little Hades really fooled the eyes of all the officials. In the past, he was only regarded as a weak chicken brought out of the mother's womb, but people will tell you with reality, he is not a weak chicken , or a wild wolf hiding behind, jumping up and biting your throat at any time.

So, even though everyone wanted to stay, they didn't dare to stay. Obediently with regrets, they followed Xie Yuan to the pavilion he had just repaired, and started discussing the inscriptions with him without hesitation.

After everyone left, only Prince Gong, Yan Xiu and Pei Xuan were left in the calligraphy, and the scene was a bit awkward.

Yan Xiu looked aside behind him, and was about to reach out for tea, Pei Xuan quickly walked to the coffee table next to him, picked up the tea and handed it to Yan Xiu, and with a hearty smile, even Yan Xiu Xiu couldn't help being immune to such a smile, stood up to take the teacup, and thanked Pei Xuan.

Prince Gong looked at his son like this, and suddenly felt a little funny, when did this kid become so attentive, even if he, his own father, hadn't enjoyed such a good thing like offering tea a few times, it seems that this time is true I was tempted, and before I could do anything, I started to flatter my future father-in-law.All of a sudden, Prince Gong's heart was full of mixed emotions. The son he had raised for more than 20 years seemed like a gourd. , forgetting the master of parents... melancholy!
"This..." The melancholy turned into melancholy. Of course, my son is enlightened. Of course, I am still happy, and my son has good eyesight. Yanxiu is a man with ability, vision, and endurance. He has earned his current achievements without making a sound. Naturally, his daughter would not be so bad. Although he only met her once, he could tell that the girl's character was dignified and elegant, and she was a lady of every family. To be able to get enlightened, Prince Gong only has two requirements for his daughter-in-law: live and female.

King Gong spoke, and Yan Xiu hurriedly listened carefully, and Prince Gong said: "My king is quick to talk, so I won't go around with you." Looking at Pei Xuan, he said: "This king has a son, who is 21 years old, and he is considered a good-looking talent. So far unmarried, clean and self-disciplined, she is a good match with Yan Hou's eldest daughter, so she wants to take this opportunity to express her heart to Yan Hou. If Yan Hou agrees, then the king will invite the Holy One to propose marriage to your mansion soon. "

Yan Xiu's hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled, he hurriedly stabilized it, raised his head and looked at the expectant Prince Gong, this generation of powerful kings who had dominated the world when he was young, was looking at him with expectant eyes at this moment, and wanted to say Don't be nervous, Yan Xiu is a lie, but it concerns her daughter's life, Yan Xiu will not be confused by the power, after a moment of hesitation, he said:

"This... the prince suddenly brought up this matter, it is...too urgent. This, the subordinates are not prepared yet."

Hearing that Yan Xiu didn't immediately refuse, Prince Gong waved his hand indifferently and said, "Oh, it's all right, I'm a little anxious, and I don't want you to agree now, this, this, or you think about it again, originally It was just a matter of negotiation, but this king sincerely wants to find a marriage that suits his wishes for this child. You also know that he is not young. But he has no one around him so far, and you are also a father, so you should be able to understand this king's anxious intentions. If you can, don't think about it for too long. I'm fine, but the princess is anxious. The king is also in a hurry." Originally, if this Yanxiu had a wife, he wouldn't have to be a big man to talk about this matter, but because he didn't have a wife, there were no other female family elders in the house, so Prince Gong had to go into battle by himself. He came to talk to Yan Xiu about this matter, and he knew it was abrupt. If someone suddenly ran up to him and said that he wanted to marry his daughter, he would definitely feel baffled in his heart, and if he didn't refuse on the spot, it would be considered that Yan Xiu had a good sense of self-cultivation. .

After Prince Gong said so, Pei Xuan walked up to Yan Xiu with a serious face, bowed and saluted, and said to Yan Xiu with a solemn expression:
"Don't worry, I am sincere to Zhaohua county master. It is enough to marry her alone in this life, and I will never make her feel wronged."

Yan Xiu was nervous at the beginning, but now he regained his senses. He put the teacup on the tea table aside, looked at Pei Xuan, and was shocked. Does this child know what he is talking about?She alone is enough in this life?Meaning, no concubines or other women in the future?
As far as Yan Xiu is concerned, this sentence doesn't sound very convincing. Why, because Yan Xiu can't do it himself. He has true love for Xie Wei, but no matter how true love is, there are times when he gets tired. If he is accompanied by a young, tender, gentle and considerate beauty, it will not be difficult to get through the period of fatigue. After a while, he can still go back to Xie Wei's side. Sometimes he can't understand, Why does Xie Wei care? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she frequently gets into trouble with herself because of such trivial matters, so that she becomes sick with resentment, depressed, and loses her life.

Therefore, Yan Xiu instinctively disbelieved Pei Xuan's words, waved his hand and said to Pei Xuan:

"You are still young and haven't experienced anything. It's not too late to say these words in the future, but what you said today is too abrupt. I hope the prince and the son will allow me to go back and think about it for two days. In addition, I have to ask my daughter again. I mean, I can give you two answers."

Prince Gong felt that what Yan Xiu said made sense: "Okay, then Yan will go back and think about it, and give me an answer as soon as possible."

Yan Xiu smiled helplessly. The father and son must have done it on purpose, and they said they wanted him to think about it, but in front of so many people just now, the two of them had already shown their hearts to others. No one knows, no one knows, that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changning was favored by Prince Gong's son... No matter whether he agrees or refuses, everyone knows anyway. Where is the palace robbing people?
