Qi Kang'an lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Fang gave Mrs. Zhou something wrapped in a cloth bag. You said not to alert others, so my father's people didn't dare to get too close. I don't know what was in the bag, but
It's not as big as dad's hand, so it shouldn't be Geng Tie."
Qi Kang'an remembered that his daughter had said that the Fang and Zhou families had broken off their engagement, so his first thought was to return the Geng Tie.
He used his fingers to indicate the size. It was about the size of a one-year-old man's palm, "It shouldn't be medicinal powder."
Her father had a nonchalant expression on his face, and he probably didn't really take this matter seriously.
Also, men in this era generally despised women. Although her father was kind to her mother, her mother was really not the kind of scheming person and could not give her father. "Women can make great things happen and they can also ruin great things."
reference value.
Her father will remember this now. It should be the only thing that made him feel abnormal in the recent past in the Prefecture of Zhou Tong.
Sure enough, her father's next words were... "Daughter, what do you think about Zhou Tongzhi's father? He doesn't look like a problem person. He's boring, so boring. He goes to the Yamen every day when he goes out, and immediately comes out of the Yamen.
Go home and never go out with your colleagues.
His house is right on the back street of the Yamen, just a few steps away.
The population of his family is also simple, with two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the daughter are both the children of his legitimate wife. The concubine’s aunt is no longer around and has been raised by his legitimate wife. Although there are two concubines in the backyard, those two concubines are usually there.
He doesn’t leave the house very often.”
It was quite rare to find a peaceful home. Qi Kang'an never understood how his daughter could doubt such an ordinary Zhou family.
Although her father's words were tactless, Qi Bao'er, as a daughter-in-law, did not attack the silly father immediately, but instead filled the silly father's wine glass himself.
"Dad, Fang Yuanwai from Baishan County is a member of King Xuan. Zhou Tongzhi's family and Fang Yuanwai's family were engaged to be married."
"Isn't that a withdrawal? And didn't you say that Young Master Zhou said that the official was not satisfied with the marriage? It was because of his relationship with Mrs. Zhou that he chose his first wife?"
"Dad, don't take everything at face value. It's nonsense for Fang Yuanwai to say that they are as rich as the country, but it's perfectly fine to say that they are as rich as the city. With such a family background, Miss Fang is still his direct descendant.
For a woman like Zhou Tongzhi, who has a low official position and comes from a poor family, the suitable person is still a concubine of the Zhou family...
Dad, do you think this is reasonable?
If it were you, even if my mother agreed, would you just watch?"
As long as Qi Kang'an thought of himself as a member of the Fang family and Miss Fang as his daughter, he would immediately become anxious, "That's impossible, dad will never agree."
"So dad, without the consent or acquiescence of the head of the family, can the previous marriage between the Fang and Zhou families be settled? Even if it is verbal."
Qi Kang'an has also turned a corner now, and there is indeed a big problem here.
At first, they just regarded it as a lively business, and the status of the merchant was low. Without mentioning how rich the merchant was, they just said that this was a merchant. Compared with the Zhou family, which was already an official, it was even worse.
It will give people the feeling that the Fang family is inferior to the Zhou family.
As a daughter, the Fang family is already as rich as anyone in the city. In comparison, the Zhou family is completely inferior. Not only is she worthy of being a concubine, but she is also worthy of being a legitimate son, even the legitimate son of the prefect.
I can’t drink the Qikang’an wine anymore, “Daughter?”
He hoped that his daughter would continue talking, and he also hoped that his daughter would stop talking. To be honest, he was a little scared.
Qi Bao'er helped him make a choice and said: "Dad, I suspect that Zhou Tongzhi is also a member of King Xuan, and his status with King Xuan is not low. Only with this possibility will the Fang family, who provided money to King Xuan, be willing to betroth their legitimate daughter to the Zhou family.
The bastard."
With a 'bang' sound, the wine glass in Qi Kangan's hand fell to the table, "My dear, my dear, you are not so cruel, are you?"
Is there even a problem with locking down the city?
In this way, the entire south is really surrounded by enemies on all sides.
They only have so many ideas, can they recruit them?
Qi Baoer couldn't help but give her father a death blow, "My dear father, how do you think you were wrongly accused tonight?"
"Huh?" He was a little confused because of the wine.
"It's specified that you discovered something and someone noticed it. Of course, it's also possible that you didn't realize what you had discovered, but the other party suspected that you had discovered something, so they attacked you."
These words were so convoluted that it took Qi Kang'an a while to realize, "The most likely people to deal with dad are the Zhou family."
He was really drunk. Qi Baoer took the wine bottle back without saying a word. It was produced by the imperial palace. It seemed that the alcohol content was a bit high.
"Although what happened tonight has implicated Prince Li, it is obviously aimed at you, and Dad, you investigated the Zhou family when you were in Fengcheng."
If the charge of a minister humiliating the prince's concubine is proven true, his father's career as a general will end here, and even the Qi clan will be implicated.
And as the daughter of a silly father, who has a bad character, how can her daughter-in-law be any better?
She would not continue to serve as an imperial envoy.
The person behind the scenes is ruthless and aggressive.
However, you have to be able to get the news out.
When Qi Kang'an thought about it, he thought of the small cloth bag that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Fang passed each other. He slapped his forehead with annoyance on his face and said, "I should have asked someone to rob the thing."
Qi Bao'er shook his head, "Dad, don't worry about this matter for now. It's your own business now; tell me the specific situation of the night."
"Okay, daddy let's talk to you.
In the evening, as usual, my father went back to the house around eight o'clock, read for a while, wrote two pages of big words, and then got ready to rest.
At this time, a strange guard said that he was on the order of Prince Li, saying that Prince Li had obtained some good bird's nests, and ordered someone to stew them and bring a bowl to his father.
The guard put down the bowl, raised his dagger and slashed at dad. After all, dad had practiced with you, how could he be hit?!
The guard slashed at Dad but missed and then ran away. At that time, Dad didn't think much and chased him out. But now that Dad knows, the guard is going to lead Dad to Aunt Ji."
Qi Kang'an was a little shocked. His daughter had reminded him countless times that he understood everything in theory, but if he encountered it in reality, his brain would have no time to react.
Such an obvious loophole, he didn't notice it at all at the time!!!
Qi Bao'er didn't have time to comfort her father at the moment, and it was true that her father would only truly grow up if he suffered a real blow.
"and after?"
"Dad and the guards saw the guard jumping into Aunt Ji's courtyard. We didn't rush in immediately, but surrounded the courtyard first. Dad was not that stupid. After all, it was where Aunt Ji, Prince Li, lived.
.
At this time, King Li also got the news. No one answered when he called the door. King Li ordered someone to kick the door open, and then..."
They didn't catch him on the bed, maybe because it took them so long. When they went in, Aunt Ji said she was sick and was lying on the bed, and the guard was guarded outside when he climbed over the wall.
