Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 100 Faint Marriage
In Prince Yan's Mansion, Fang Zhong'an sat in the meeting hall, his back slightly straightened. This was the first time he had entered the prince's staff center in a dignified manner.

"The champion of the new division is here! Congratulations!" Xiao Yan walked in from the door with his head held high, laughing heartily.

Fang Zhongan quickly stood up and bowed his hands, "I have seen the prince."

"Excuse me, please sit down, and serve good tea!" After the guests and the host exchanged greetings, Xiao Yan went straight to the topic, "Tomorrow morning, my father will have an appointment for you, and this king intends to let you go. Yushitai is the supervisory censor."

"It's good to be able to go to Yushitai, but there is no shortage of manpower in Yushitai now."

"It's good to keep your ears shut and only read the books of sages and sages, but you still need to have sharp eyes and ears in the officialdom." An old man who followed Xiao Yan said.

"Don't worry, it's good to get familiar with it slowly in the future. Come and tell Zhuangyuan Lang."

"Yes." The old man began to explain the recent court situation to Fang Zhong'an. Yu Shi Qingfeng was going to be the leader of the Liu family against the imperial power, and the emperor would definitely not tolerate him again.Maybe even Yushitai will be cleaned this time, and all forces have already aimed at this opportunity.

"I obey!" Fang Zhong'an accepted Xiao Yan's arrangement in a timely manner. He had already keenly sensed that the last time the school field rewarded him, it meant that the emperor had moved Prince Li's heart, and the struggle for imperial power had already begun.Censor Qingfeng was a member of King Yi, and he knew it after a little inquiring, and moving Qingfeng meant participating in the battle.

"One more thing. I heard that a matchmaker went to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and he mentioned Prime Minister Qiao's youngest daughter. The man is you."

What?Fang Zhongan suddenly remembered the fat girl whom he met today and remembered the charm of the beaded flower on her head, Fang Zhongan got goosebumps all over his body, and he shook his head.No, no.

"This king knows that you are a good match for her because of your appearance and talent, but as long as you agree to this marriage, this king will make the decision to provide you with more concubines." Xiao Yan probably saw Fang Zhongan's eyes. Resisting, he sounded comforting.

"However, I have just entered the officialdom, and I haven't had time to display my ambitions. It's too early to marry a wife." Fang Zhongan heard the unquestionable meaning from Xiao Yan's words.

"Since ancient times, you have established a family and established a business. You have achieved good results now. With the support of Prime Minister Qiao in the future, you will surely rise to the top in the officialdom. The king will still need to rely on you in the future."

"My lord has high hopes for you, don't let my lord down." The old man looked at Fang Zhongan, and with one sentence crushed Fang Zhongan's resistance.He almost left Yanwang Mansion in a daze, how could it be like this, he thought that the scene when he was nominated on the gold list shouldn't be like this, Ruhua Meijuan shouldn't be that kind of vulgar and ignorant person!
All the way back to Shifang Street from King Yan's Mansion, just as he entered the door, he bumped into Mrs. Fang chasing people out in the yard, and met Chen Jincai with one foot in and one foot out of the door.

"Nephew, you came back just in time. I came here today to propose marriage to Wan'er. But your mother wanted to drive me away. What do you mean? Are you really going to marry that fat woman instead of marrying her?" Is it Waner?" Chen Jincai was also so angry that he blew his beard and stared, eager to seek Fang Zhongan's comment.

"Hey, the champion of the new division is really handsome, and the precious daughter who wants to match Prime Minister Qiao is also a natural match." People are good and bad because of their mouths, and the people in the yard almost fell down with anger when the matchmaker said something.

"Get out, get out." Mrs. Fang was so angry that she took the broom in the housekeeper's hand and started shouting. Fang Zhong'an looked coldly and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. It was an unchangeable fact, and let his mother make a fuss To save the bad weather tomorrow.

It was Chen Wan's guess that Chen Jincai was shut down at Fang's house. Who was Prime Minister Qiao, he was a first-rank official.But to let Zhong An marry such an ugly and fat girl, she is even more upset, both for Zhong An and herself, why she was born in such a small family.

Chen Wan bit her lip and took out a box on the desk, which contained a pair of wooden signs.The owner of the carriage she rushed into that day not only rescued her, but also gave her this wooden sign as a proof. He can promise her one condition in the future, as long as she agrees to cooperate with the other party.She must marry Zhong An, even if she is a concubine, facing such a wife, Zhong An's heart can be imagined how painful it must be, and she will be with him just like before.

In the early days of the court, the top three in the new department went to the court to accept the emperor's award, and Prime Minister Qiao took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​marrying the number one scholar in the new department.Without even thinking about it, the emperor swiped his pen and granted the marriage!
Such a sure-fire marriage quickly spread throughout the capital, so when the top three horses were parading through the streets, the expressions of the spectators were very complicated.Take a look, the dignified No. [-] scholar is about to marry the ugliest woman in the Jingcheng family!This champion is really boring.

Fang Zhong'an was sitting on a big horse with a red head and a lot of color, his back was straight, and he had to straighten his back even more at this time.If you are suffering and wronged, no one will pity you. On the contrary, they will only step on your foot and make fun of you for being stupid.This is what his father told him. Ten years ago, his father could take their family from the rotten fish market to Sucheng, and live in a high house wearing gold and silver. Ten years later, he can also turn the Fang family into a part of the capital's aristocratic family.

In the prime minister's mansion, Qiao Yue was holding a handkerchief and listening to her mother's teachings, why can't she run out of the mansion to play, can't hold the candy box and don't let go, can't talk loudly, can't walk with the wind and carelessly.Qiao Yue was a little annoyed when she heard that, "Mother, I'm married and not sold as a slave, why are there so many rules?"

"Although the Fang family is a small family, there are rules. You can no longer follow your own temper. Tomorrow, I will send your birthday horoscope to find someone to marry. Choose an auspicious day and get married. , it is no better than your own home after all, so you should pay more attention to it.”

"My father's official rank is higher than his, and mother, you are a royal wife, and your status is more noble than his mother's, how dare he make things difficult for me?" Qiao Yueman didn't care about her eyes wandering around, "Mother, you will give me more when the time comes." Give some dowry, and when looking for a dowry girl, you must not look better than me, and..."

"What else!" Prime Minister Qiao walked into the room with his hands behind his back, and frowned when he saw his daughter sitting or not. If you run, I'll break your leg." One thing after another, Qiao Yue shrank her neck and hurried away, Madam Qiao wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Yue'er is also happy, master don't criticize her anymore."

"Today in the court hall, I carefully observed this new champion. It's not easy, even I can't see him through. Now I regret agreeing to this marriage."

"That's okay, Yue'er really likes the number one scholar."

"Well, that's it. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's all her own good fortune."
