Hu Guang blushed and said: "That's nonsense! As a father, are you willing to bear such an infamy? When Xie Jin was demoted to Annan, his father never thought about regretting the marriage. But he did it again and again.
, did not want to repent, did not know how to be cautious, and now he has caused such a big disaster, what can dad do?
My daughter, you are the daughter of a cabinet scholar. Are you still worried about finding a good husband? After breaking off this engagement, dad will find you a better son. Besides, I will never solve this case.
So far, I don’t know how many people will be implicated. Only by regretting the engagement can we keep our family safe! I have worked so hard for you, do you understand?"
Miss Hu said resolutely: "Dad, my daughter's life has been decided, how can she regret her marriage and remarry! Even if her father has thousands of reasons, but for the word 'festival', the daughter will never dare to obey! There is a line in Uncle Jie's poem dedicated to his father: '
Whoever you make friends with is like a golden orchid, and the whole world is full of peach and plum blossoms. 'Is it possible that daddy will imitate that peach and plum character today and make the world laugh?"
Hu Guangda was furious and slapped the table: "You rebellious and unfilial girl, you..."
Mrs. Hu was still holding Xie Jin's poems in her hand and stood aside in a panic. Mrs. Hu had always been honest and was eaten to death by her husband. She watched the father and daughter bickering and panicked her, but she
She didn't know how to persuade her. She always knew that her daughter was stubborn, but she didn't know that she was so fierce. As soon as she opened her mouth, her daughter came to her father to argue.
Hu Guang glared at his wife fiercely and shouted: "You taught my daughter well! Take her back and lock her in the embroidery building! Find me the letter of engagement immediately!"
Mrs. Hu had no choice but to order the two maids who were chasing her: "This... this..., didn't you hear it? Why don't you take the lady back?"
The two maids did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly came in and wanted to help the young lady to leave. Miss Hu's family struggled desperately, but the two girls did not dare to hurt her. The three of them walked around in the study room like a revolving door, even touching the bookshelf.
It fell over, and everything on it fell to the ground, and everything was smashed to pieces.
Seeing this situation, Hu Guang got up and shouted to the family members who gathered at the door of the study room after hearing the news: "Come in, take the lady back to the embroidery building, and hold her tight!"
Several servants heard the master's instructions and hurried into the study. After hearing this, Miss Hu suddenly pushed the two maids away, rushed to the desk in one stride, reached out her hand and stretched out a pen holder from the blue pen holder.
Holding a knife with a paper cutting handle, Hu Guang asked in surprise: "Ye Li, what are you going to do?"
Miss Hu said solemnly: "My daughter's unlucky marriage has been decided by her parents and has been decided for life. In this life, her daughter will be the one to solve the family! Now that her father wants to regret the marriage, he will lose his daughter's reputation for life. The daughter will not
Dare to obey!"
As she said this, she stretched out her hand, grabbed her ear, stretched out her hand with a knife, and one ear was cut off by her. The blood immediately flowed like a pour, flowing along her shoulder and all over her arms. Mrs. Hu was horrified and stunned.
Crying: "Daughter, my daughter, what are you doing!"
Miss Hu pointed the knife at her own throat and said loudly: "Fame and integrity are more important than life! Now my daughter has cut off her ears to show her ambition. If her father continues to force her, the daughter will have no choice but to return this life to her parents!"
Seeing that the young lady was so fierce and frightened all the servants, no one dared to come forward. Hu Guang was also stunned by his daughter's performance. He saw that his daughter was holding a sharp knife. The sharp knife was turned upside down and the tip of the knife was pressed against her throat. He just said one more thing.
If he forced her to regret the marriage, he would commit suicide. Hu Guang had no choice but to stamp his feet and say: "That's it! That's all! Isn't being a father just for your life? You are a stupid girl. If you don't want to regret the marriage, you won't quit. Why are you acting like this!"
After hearing what her father said, Miss Hu said, "This is what my father said himself. I cannot regret it! Otherwise, my daughter will die!" After saying this, she dropped the knife to the ground.
Hu Guang said angrily: "What are you waiting for? You, you trash, why don't you take the young lady to bandage her wounds!"
The two maids quickly picked up Miss Hu, one covered her ears, and ran out while holding her. The house steward had already kicked a naughty servant in the buttocks, yelling at him to go find a groom immediately, and then picked her up.
He picked up the young lady's ears and chased after her in a panic.
Hu Guang sat back on the chair, panting with anger. Mrs. Hu was holding the scroll and was about to chase her daughter in a panic. Hu Guang saw her and shouted: "What are you still holding the scroll like?"
,lay down!"
Mrs. Hu said with a smile: "Master, this scroll... won't... not be burned?"
Hu Guang roared: "You can't cancel your marriage, so what's the point of burning it if you don't burn it!"
Mrs. Hu was startled, put down the scroll in a hurry, wiped her tears and ran after her daughter.
In Yang's Mansion, Xia Xun closed the door and saw no guests, but the eyes and ears were not limited to this mansion. He could still hide all the big and small matters from Beijing. Previously, when he heard reports of all kinds of ridiculing remarks made to him in the market, Xia Xun just smiled.
, not angry at all.
That afternoon, the incident that happened in the Hu Mansion was reported to him again. There was no need to inquire about this matter, because it had already been widely circulated in the market, and every word Miss Hu's family said was circulated.
After he came out, now everyone in the public criticizes his father, but praises Miss Hu's chastity and generosity.
At this time, Ming'er and Xie Xie were by his side. These two people were kind and considerate. Xia Xun pretended to be sick behind closed doors. They knew why. They were afraid that her husband would be upset because of this, so they often talked to him to relieve his boredom.
, they naturally listened to the news about Hu Mansion.
After listening to the report, Ming'er, who was sitting next to Xia Xun, sighed softly: "This Miss Hu family is really respectable."
Thank you but said: "This Hu Guang is a hundred times more intelligent than Jie Jin!"
Xia Xun nodded lightly and said: "Yes! Knowing the opportunity to avoid danger is nothing. This vision is nothing. What's rare is that if things don't go well, he can find another plan and use this attempted regretful marriage to express his true feelings and distance himself.
This man's knowledge is not as good as that of Jie Jin, and his integrity is not as good as his daughter's, but his ability to adapt strategies is excellent!"
"how?"
Ming'er was slightly surprised, but after listening to the exchanges between the two and thinking about it again, she understood what had happened. She couldn't help but sigh again: This Hu Guang... is really a good person.
Xia Xun held her hand and said softly: "What are you sighing for? It makes my husband's heart grow old."
Ming'er said quietly: "When you are really old, it is better to stay at home and take care of your life than to ask others to worry about you. "May you learn to be more relaxed, and be careful not to be a peach and plum" Yang Rong wrote a poem on the door, mocking my husband, you know how to treat others
Aren’t you sad for you?”
Xia Xun said disapprovingly: "Ming'er, why do you take these things to heart? How can political disputes be as simple as one person imagines? In the officialdom, if a person always does what he thinks, he will do it all the time.
The customers in the market can clearly see that this person is dead a long time ago! Xie Jin is such a brainless person, do you want the Prime Minister to learn from him?"
After hearing this, Ming'er couldn't help but sigh again. Remembering that her husband told her not to sigh again, she couldn't help but smile again and asked: "Xie Jin is in prison, will everything be okay?"
Xia Xun said: "Don't worry, he won't be in serious trouble, at least not for now. Don't forget that Ji Gang is so domineering. In fact, he understands very well. He knows very well who can and cannot move. In the absence of dust
He doesn't dare to do anything to Jie Jin before it's settled."
Xie suddenly said: "Ms. sir, Ji Gang has always been at odds with you. He is the same as Chen Ying. He is a tortoise. He will not let go once he bites. Xie Jin has always been close to you, and you, Hu Guang, have always been mediocre.
I have wavered between the Crown Prince and the King of Han, neither left nor right, and now I am eager to distance myself from myself. Will Ji Gang torture Jie Jin, bite you, and use the opportunity to punish you?"
Xia Xun said: "This is really possible, but it is difficult to take out something to cure me from Jie Jin's mouth. Xie Jin is a thoroughgoing person, and there is nothing invisible about me for him to know.
.Besides, the emperor asked me to come back and recover from my injuries..."
Xia Xun frowned slightly and whispered: "This sentence is my reassurance. Come to think of it...as long as I stay behind closed doors and be my father-in-law, I won't get into trouble."
Right. However, this matter makes me more and more confused. The emperor has always done things in a very orderly manner, and it is rare for people to be completely confused like this. He proposed to move the capital and punished the East Palace. What on earth did he want to do? "
Ming'er said: "No matter what the emperor wants to do, my husband, you have done enough for the Ming Dynasty and the prince. I don't want you to risk your fortune and your life!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "How can it be that serious..."
Ming'er stubbornly said: "In my heart, this is how serious it is! I know that my husband has made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty and is more life-saving than the emperor. But in the eyes of the emperor, it is right for the minister to devote his life to the emperor. He will
Like ordinary people, do you always keep this kindness in your heart? My husband, your merits are indeed outstanding, but is Hou Junji worse than you? What will be the fate of you and him?"
Xia Xun said blankly: "Hou Junji, was one of your father's former subordinates?"
Ming'er only thought Xia Xun was joking, and couldn't help but get angry. She waved her sleeves and said, "Ms. sir, I have plans for you, but you still have the heart to joke!"
Xia Xun was not wronged. He really didn't know who Hou Junji was, but at this time he already understood that Hou Junji must be an ancient man, so he had to go back and check. Unfortunately, there were no computers in this era, so he couldn't enter keywords.
A quick search will suffice. If you don't find someone who knows how to ask, if you want to find out which dynasty and generation this Hou Junji belongs to, who he is, and what his deeds are, you may have to go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon to find out.
Thank you. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he really didn't know. He couldn't help but laugh secretly and quickly explained: "I am busy with government affairs and have not studied for a long time. I must have forgotten it for a while. This Hou Junji joined Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion during the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty. At that time
The world is uncertain, so it is not necessarily destined to be the Li family's kingdom, let alone Li Shimin's. Hou Junji defected to him, which is comparable to the master's love for King Yan at the beginning of the Jingnan period."
Ming'er said angrily: "In the case of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident, where he killed his brothers and forced the palace to seize the throne, Hou Junji made suggestions for him and Li Shimin ascended the throne. Hou Junji was really indispensable. This was the decisive factor.
, even though I have repeatedly used ingenious strategies to help the emperor achieve great things, he still has to give in a little bit.
Hou Jun gathered under the command of Li Shimin and made many military exploits. He even led his troops to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom, and then incorporated the Gaochang territory into the Tang Dynasty and assigned it to Xizhou. This achievement of opening up territory and expanding the territory is far more intelligent than your military expedition to Liaodong, sir.
If he retreats from Timur's army, he will be even better. But he relies on his merit to get involved in politics. Do you think what will happen to him?"
