These two people were both Dukes of the dynasty and first-class important ministers. How could they come together to visit this unpopular Taichang Shaoqing?
Just after thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Dun understood.
It must be because of the incident between my daughter and Fang Sanlang, and I personally went to Fang's house to complain. Although I didn't dare to speak arrogantly and unreasonably, I didn't have a good color.
, I must feel guilty and want to come and apologize.
With Fang Xuanling's status, it was naturally impossible for him to come in person, and Fang Yizhi was a nerd, so only Fang Jun, the most outstanding member of the second generation of the Fang family, came forward.
However, Fang Jun has a bad temper and may not be willing to come to his house and be complained and scolded by him, so he takes Song Guogong to accompany him.
The Xiao family of Lanling is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and is also the leader of Qingliu. The Zhang family in Jiangdong is located in Kuaiji, and is deeply involved with the Xiao family, so he must give him enough face.
After understanding the purpose of these two people's visit, I immediately did not dare to neglect and walked to the gate to greet them in person.
No matter how disgusted you are with the Fang family in your heart, Fang Jun's status is here after all, so you can't be rude, not to mention that he also invited Song Guogong Xiao Yu to accompany him...
When they arrived at the door, they saw Xiao Yu. Fang Jun had just been welcomed into the door by the housekeeper. Zhang Dun hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his arms to the ground from a distance, and said respectfully: "The two princes have come to this humble abode, and the flowers are shining brightly.
Your Majesty, you are polite here."
Xiao Yu held the jade belt around his waist with his fingers and said in a friendly tone: "Without any courtesy or courtesy, we come here uninvited. We are being unwelcome guests, haha."
Zhang Dun said in fear: "You two are the pillars of the country. I can't even invite you to the lower officials. I am really frightened. Come, come, come, please speak in the main hall."
Xiao Yu looked at Fang Jun, smiled and said: "Erlang, please."
Go into the courtyard first.
Fang Jun had a smile on his face, talked more, and followed every step.
Zhang Dun slightly bowed his waist and followed behind, inviting the two of them into the main hall. After some humility, the elder Xiao Yu finally took the seat, Fang Jun sat on the left, and Zhang Dun, the head of the family, sat at the bottom.
.
After serving the fragrant tea, Zhang Dun dismissed the servants and poured tea for the two princes. After each had a cup, he asked: "The two princes are busy with work and came to my humble residence today. What advice can you give me?"
?I have a low official position, but I am scared in my heart. Please give me some advice."
That's what he said, but since he had already guessed the purpose of the two men's visit, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very sure of it.
It was your Fang family who made the mistake first. You can't just rely on your high status to dominate others, right?
Fang Jun was affectionate and calm, sipping tea with lowered eyebrows and eyes, without any intention of speaking.
Xiao Yu cursed in his heart, after all, I am also a dignified prince, one of the top figures in the court, but today I was dragged over by you to do such evil things at the expense of my old face...
Then he said with a kind face: "Zhang Shaoqing, there is no need to be nervous. I am here today not to overwhelm others with my dignity, but as a world friend to give Zhang Shaoqing a happy event."
Zhang Dun was stunned and thought to himself, aren't you here to apologize...
He asked cautiously: "What happy event is it?"
Xiao Yu stroked his neatly trimmed beard and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a daughter of your house. She is twenty or eight years old. She is still waiting to be named in the boudoir. She has a good nature and body temperature, and is virtuous and gentle in behavior. Because she has won the heart of Bo Ji. She has a quiet virtue and a leisurely life."
It's the festival of Zhenjiang. Today, I have been entrusted by the Fang family, and I would like to be a good matchmaker. I have the audacity to visit Zhang Shaoqing and implore Zhang Shaoqing to do a good job and forge a good relationship between Qin and Jin Dynasty."
Zhang Dun was stunned and hesitated for a long time, then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Isn't Sanlang of the Fang family already engaged to the Lu family of Fan Yang? There are rumors in the city that the wedding will be in two days. Is it possible that there is some misunderstanding?
"
His official position was too low and he had no contact with the Fang family, so he did not receive the invitation.
However, he has a very good relationship with his immediate boss, Taichang Qing. He went to his house for a drink a few days ago and saw the invitation from the Fang family. The wedding date was clearly stated on it, so there was no mistaking it.
Xiao Yu laughed, stroking his beard and said: "The third son of the Fang family is outstanding in his loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness. His wife is naturally the legitimate daughter of the Lu family in Fan Yang. The daughter of your noble family can be your favorite concubine."
To be honest, Xiao Yu has a high status and high moral standing in his life. He has done the job of being a matchmaker countless times in his life, but he has never come to ask for a concubine like today.
This simply lowered Song Guogong's cards...
But even if he could refuse Fang Xuanling, how could he refuse Fang Jun?
Now that I have agreed, I naturally have to do my best to accept Fang Jun's favor. So I have already mentioned Zhang Dun in my words. Her first wife is the legitimate daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang, not to mention the status of the Zhang family in Jiangdong.
However, your daughter is still a concubine, even lower than her, so the position of a head wife is absolutely impossible. Being able to enter the house and become a beloved concubine is already a compliment to your daughter...
When Zhang Dun heard this, his color suddenly changed!
"The Duke of Song Dynasty is an honest and honest gentleman with a dignified character. He has always been admired by his subordinates. Why do you humiliate me like this today?! My niece Zhang Dun is one of the five good family members in her life. The ancient Buddha of Qingdeng died alone, and she must not be allowed to do it to others.
concubine!"
In fact, Zhang Dunfei was the legitimate son of the Zhang family in Jiangdong, and his daughter was just a concubine. Although it was inappropriate to marry into the Fang family as a concubine, it could not be said to be humiliating.
Their first wife is the legitimate daughter of Fan Yanglu’s family!
But the status of concubines is indeed low. He, Zhang Dun, is a Qingliu official, and he cares most about his reputation. Once his daughter marries into the Fang family as a concubine, she will definitely be ridiculed by the meddlesome people as being in favor of others, and he will not hesitate to send his own daughter into the Fang family as a concubine.
Concubine, I also want to climb on Fang Jun’s thick leg...
Zhang Dun absolutely cannot accept this.
Xiao Yu was a little unhappy. Although he also knew that what Zhang Dun was really worried about was the public opinion of this matter, which might damage his reputation, he deigned to go to the house to act as a matchmaker in person, and the marriage was still with the Fang family, a famous person in the world.
You don't give any face to a nobleman like me, don't you have no regard for me?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Fang Jun, who had been silent all this time, had already said with a smile: "Zhang Shaoqing may have misunderstood. I invited Song Guogong here this time, not because of your greed for the Zhang family, but because of the previous relationship between my brother-in-law and me."
Nowadays, the incident of my daughter-in-law has become a big news in the streets, which has a certain impact on my daughter-in-law's reputation. In the future, marriage will inevitably be subject to word of mouth, and it will be difficult to find a well-matched son-in-law. Therefore, I came to propose marriage, which can be regarded as making up for the behavior of my brother-in-law.
I hope Zhang Shaoqing will think twice."
Zhang Dun was so angry that his face was as red as blood and he wished he could throw the tea cup to chase him away!
Listen, is this human language?
Now the story of your daughter's tryst with my brother has become known in the streets, and your reputation has been ruined. Who in a good family will want you for marriage in the future? It's better to deal with it quickly and get married into my house as a concubine.
, my family doesn’t dislike it…
It’s so deceiving!
Zhang Dun gritted his teeth and held back his anger, and said word by word: "If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it, I, the daughter of the Zhang family, will never let anyone bully me!"
Fang Jun sighed and said: "What do you say? The two children are in love with each other. There is no distinction between who is right and who is wrong. But in my family, it is the man who comes to propose marriage with a responsible attitude. How can it be done?
For wanton humiliation? Is it possible that Zhang Shaoqing still thinks that my family will cancel Fan Yanglu's marriage, and then marry the daughter of your family as his legitimate wife? "
Zhang Dun was so angry that he could not speak.
The truth is this, no matter what, his daughter is not as good as Fan Yanglu's legitimate daughter, but the problem is that I am not so angry that I insist on marrying my daughter to your family!
Fang Jun looked at Zhang Dun's face as red as blood and the veins on his forehead exposed, and he felt a little sorry. However, for the happiness of his third son and the fulfillment of his two young children, he had no choice but to become a villain.
Then he continued: "Actually, I'm afraid Zhang Shaoqing can't decide on this matter."
Zhang Dun laughed angrily, biting his molar teeth and said: "I can't decide whether the daughter I gave birth to is the daughter of my subordinate? Is it possible that the Duke of Yue wants to bring his troops into the palace to steal the bride?"
"What do you mean by that? Is this someone who bullies men and dominates women?"
Fang Jun waved his hand and said slowly: "After yesterday's shift, a certain person has already written a letter and ordered people to send it to the Zhang family's house in Kuaiji by boat all the way to talk about the marriage. Of course, after all, this matter is my family's.
The first thing to do is to make up for the losses of the Zhang family. In order to make up for the losses of the Zhang family, appropriate compensation will be made. I hope that the whole Zhang family will make it happen. In the future, the two families will be able to cooperate with each other in many aspects. In the end, both families will be able to cooperate with each other in many aspects.
We are a family, and if there is any benefit, you have to think of your own family, right?"
Zhang Dun was stunned and the color drained from his face.
This man actually contacted the Zhang family directly. He said "appropriate compensation" lightly, but in the eyes of the Zhang family, that was the road to overseas wealth.
Not to mention a mere concubine, even if a few clan girls were to be married together, the Zhang family would probably agree to it.
Indeed, as Fang Jun said, this matter involves interests, and he really cannot be the boss of his daughter...
But why would Fang Jun be willing to give up his interests and marry the two families?
Don't talk about it, just to make a couple happy with each other's children. For a powerful person like Fang Jun, every word and every action has deep meaning. How can you be burdened by emotions?
