Although he didn't know what his son was planning, he trusted his son to handle the affairs of the court and knew that he must have an intention. He immediately said with a look of surprise: "Oh, I'm so old and confused. I forgot about this matter."
Already..."
Then he turned to Li Yuanjing and said awkwardly: "This... Your Highness, forgive me, I really forgot about this matter. Your Highness, you can praise Quanzi Yize, it is Yize's blessing, and it is also the blessing of me. It's just that the old man in the family
Wife... ahem, please forgive me for this. Can I wait until I ask my old wife whether she agrees to the marriage as per the will, and then give your Highness a confirmation?"
King Jing Li Yuanjing looked unhappy and felt extremely unhappy.
what's the situation?
I, a dignified prince, came to propose marriage without any shame, but you rejected me?
However, he has a gentle temper. Even though he was very dissatisfied, he did not have an attack. There was nothing strange on his face. He still smiled like a spring breeze: "It should be, it should be, but I have not realized the details before he rashly
Coming to the door seems to be causing trouble for the roommate."
The words were polite, but a bit aggressive.
I am a prince, and I came to propose marriage in person. Do you dislike causing trouble to you? Even if your son has really made a marriage arrangement, after all, he has never heard of the three books and six etiquettes. It is just a verbal agreement. Is it possible that I, the prince, can't let it happen?
Are you rejecting that marriage and marrying my daughter instead?
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling actually nodded, sighed, looked at Li Yuanjing and said helplessly: "To be honest, Your Highness has really caused trouble for me... Your Highness should know that my old wife is the most unreasonable person.
, even His Majesty once had the idea of letting the old minister divorce his wife, but the old minister is really reluctant to part with the so-called poor wife who has shared weal and woe... Alas, this matter is not pushed by the old minister. In fact, if the old minister cannot get the old wife's approval, the old minister will
I really can’t make the decision.”
Li Yuanjing was stunned.
If you are a person who doesn't know what's going on, you may have to fight with Fang Xuanling. You, Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the country, actually said that you can't be the master of your son's marriage. How ridiculous is it?
But it happened that Li Yuanjing was well informed. The "jealousy" incident back then is still talked about by people today. Who doesn't know that Fang Xuanling's family has a fierce wife and a weak husband?
As for the idea of divorced wife at home...that is pure nonsense.
Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, was born in the direct branch of the Lu family in Fanyang. Who dares to divorce the direct daughter of the Lu family?
That's Fan Yanglu's family!
"Since ancient times, Youyan has been the unparalleled place and the first state in Fanyang in the world"!
During the reign of the First Emperor of Qin, the Lu family of Fanyang had the famous Doctor Lu Ao of the Five Classics and Doctor of Astronomy Lu Sheng. Then in the early Western Han Dynasty, there was Lu Wan, King of Yan, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi, the great Confucian scholar in the world, was honored as "the model of scholars and the leader of the country".
, all from Fan Yang.
From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, Lu Zhi's descendants, Lu Zhi, Lu Chen, Lu Yan, Lu Miao, Lu Xuan, etc., were all officials and scholarly families. From Lu Xuan to his great-grandson, the family consisted of a hundred people
, sharing money and living together, what is a scholarly family? This is the real scholarly family!
The imperial families of the past dynasties wanted to marry the "Shandong noble families" represented by the Lu family. As a result, the families who wanted to marry their daughters were not necessarily willing to marry them. More often, they married their own princesses. Historically, it was called "Fanyang Lu family".
"Princess Three"...
Who would dare to divorce a legitimate daughter from such a family? Who would be willing to divorce her?
Li Yuanjing was speechless. If it was true that Mrs. Lu was engaged to be married to his wife, then he really would not have rejected the engagement out of consideration for Prince Jing and married his daughter instead.
The dignified prince personally came to propose marriage and ended up in such an embarrassing situation... No matter how gentle Li Yuanjing was, he felt shameless, said a few clichés, and left in disgrace.
*****
"Why did you prevent your father from agreeing to King Jing's marriage?"
After Li Yuanjing left, Mrs. Lu heard in the back house that King Jing had come to marry her son, and she hurriedly came over to check the situation. Fang Xuanling ordered the maid to make tea again. Mrs. Lu sat aside, while he sat across from his son and asked.
road.
Fang Jun asked: "My son dares to ask his father why he agreed to King Jing's marriage?"
Fang Xuanling asked: "Why can't you agree?"
Fang Jun said: "There is no benefit in agreeing."
Fang Xuanling said: "There's no harm in it."
Mrs. Lu looked confused: "..."
What is this nonsense?
"Speak to me! Show your skills, right? Who can understand the nonsense? Let me ask you, how is Yi Ze's marriage?"
Fang Xuanling pointed at Fang Jun: "This son of yours has messed things up."
Don't ask for merit, but ask for no faults. Let's throw the blame first and then talk about it...
Fang Jun was speechless and looked at Fang Xuanling.
Dad, can you at least have some backbone? If a man can do what you do, you will fail!
Fang Xuanling had a leisurely look on her face, sipping her tea. Do you still have thoughts of blaming me? You should go through your mother's test yourself first...
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that Fang Jun had messed up the marriage, Mrs. Lu's eyebrows suddenly stood up. She turned around to find a feather duster and cursed: "You evil deed! You have a lovely wife and concubines who enjoy the blessings of others, and you don't care about the life or death of others."
Are you here? Your brothers are already thirteen years old and you are still proposing marriage to each one of them. Finally, you got one of them and turned it into a prostitute. I can’t beat you to death!"
But this front hall is a place for entertaining guests. Where can there be a feather duster? I searched around and couldn't find it, but I refused to give up and pinched Fang Jun's arm twice.
Fang Jun gritted his teeth in pain, but did not dare to dodge. He begged for mercy: "Mom, my son has a son, please stop being so rude... Besides, you are such a smart person, how could you not see that this is me?"
My father brought trouble to the east and framed him? King Jing is here to find his father, how am I qualified to speak on this matter?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, it made sense. She glared at Fang Xuanling and asked, "What's going on with you? King Jing has an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament. I believe his daughter is also an excellent one, and she matches my family's inheritance."
,Why refuse?”
Fang Xuanling said: "It's Erlang who winked and coughed. I was wondering what he was doing before I had time to ask."
"Isn't this still your business?" Madam Lu was angry, grabbing Fang Jun and pinching him again.
How about Hua Tingbo?
How about Jing Zhaoyin?
What about the Minister of War?
In front of me, you will always be the third grandson. You can hit me if you want, and pinch me if you want!
Fang Jun could only say: "Mom, think about it, even if King Jing fell in love with the third child and wanted to get married, why did he come to the door in person? This matter can be done through a middleman to test my family's intentions, and then
Find a matchmaker to talk about it, and if it's consensual, it will be natural."
This matter is indeed abnormal. Generally speaking, if a woman likes a man, she will find someone to reveal it and ask the man what he means. If the man is interested, the man will find a matchmaker to take care of both families.
Even if it is done.
But as a woman, not only did she come to propose marriage without any warning, but her father, who is a prince, came to the house in person, which is a bit strange and unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
Mr. Lu blinked, started to think, and asked doubtfully: "Is it possible... there is some conspiracy in this?"
"Pfft" Fang Xuanling spurted tea out of her mouth, choking and coughing.
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Edi Niang! How can there be so many conspiracies? It's just that King Jing must have something to ask of my family, and his plans are very big."
"Uh... I thought it was all kinds of schemes and conspiracies..."
Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed, as if she had been infected by the conspiracy theories that the father and son had been talking about all day long. But when she saw the expressions of the father and son trying to hold back their laughter, she suddenly became angry and pinched Fang Jun hard, and then glared at Fang Xuanling
, Sapo said: "You two are the only smart ones, I'm a fool, okay? I don't care, anyway, Yi Ze's daughter-in-law was lost to you, you have to be responsible for finding one for me, she must be a good lady,"
That’s not the case for ordinary people!”
Now the Fang family is one of the first-class dignitaries in the entire Tang Dynasty. There is a prime minister and a high-ranking official in the ministry. The mistress is the legitimate daughter of Fan Yanglu's family, and the daughter-in-law is a royal princess... Such a family background, what kind of family does it have?
My daughter cannot marry?
The father and son looked at each other, how could this matter be brought to their heads?
Fang Xuanling has indeed been an official for a long time, and is very good at shirking blame: "Regardless of your intention of rejecting King Jing, your mother is right, you have lost the third daughter-in-law, then you will
Responsible for finding one."
With such a father and mother at the table, what else could Fang Jun say?
But it wasn't for nothing. He rolled his eyes and said, "My son just casually told King Jing that his mother had arranged a marriage for the third child with his mother's family in advance. Why don't the mother find a suitable one in the Fanyanglu clan?"
Girl, how about settling this matter? It can not only fulfill the lie that the son just told, but also silence King Jing. The most rare thing is that a niece from her mother's family comes into the house. Mother, you will be more considerate in the future, won't you?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was immediately happy: "Oh, my son is still smart! Why didn't you think of this? Mr. Ding Xingwang of the Lu family must have a suitable one. Your mother, I am Lu's aunt, Lu's
The girl and the third child are cousins. If these cousins kiss each other, they will break bones and connect tendons. That is the best marriage!"
Immediately he couldn't help being happy, got up and went to the back hall, thinking that the girl from her mother's family was suitable to be her third daughter-in-law...
In the hall, Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief and nodded approvingly at his son. Children can be taught.
Fang Junze smiled modestly, and they talked to each other...
"By the way, why did you reject King Jing?" Fang Xuanling was confused about this matter.
Fang Jun paused, pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "My son, King Guanjing... I'm afraid he has evil intentions and a big plan."
Fang Xuanling was stunned.
A prince "has great plans", what else can he plan for?
This is extremely appalling!
He frowned and thought carefully about King Jing's usual behavior. He was gentle and quiet. He seemed to have no desires and pursuits, but in fact he was very close to Chai Zhewei, Xue Wanche and other generals who commanded the army. Now he came to his family to get married.
…
hiss!
Fang Xuanling was suddenly shocked, he really didn't look like a kind person!
