After midnight, the guests from Prince Li's Mansion began to leave one after another.
Today, many people drank too much. This is really because it has been too long since there has been such a lively happy event in the capital. Moreover, the emperor and the fifth prince settled their differences, and the fifth concubine Yu and Princess Li settled their differences. In addition, the ninth prince and the fifth prince
After shaking hands and agreeing, the fifth prince took on the role of assisting and supervising the country. Everything is a good thing, how can it make people unhappy.
In the evening, almost an hour ago, General Pingnan drank too much. Ren Xitao couldn't stand it anymore. He told his sister and helped General Pingnan back to the mansion. Today, three people came out of General Pingnan's mansion.
He attended the wedding ceremony, but the general's wife did not come and stayed at home with the pregnant Lu Ping.
General Pingnan left first, and naturally took his own carriage. After midnight, when Ren Xifeng was about to go home, he realized that the coachman who sent his father back had not yet come back to pick her up. It was raining outside, although it was not heavy, but it was lingering.
It also wet the ground. She thought about going inside and waiting for a while. The family's carriage should arrive soon, but before she could go back, she heard a man's voice behind her: "Any
Are you waiting for the carriage, miss? Don't wait, I'll take you back."
She was stunned and looked carefully at the person who spoke. He was a man in his twenties. He was quite good-looking, but his appearance was more or less arrogant. In addition, he drank a lot of wine, and he was dressed in all kinds of clothes.
The smell of alcohol made her feel nauseous. The man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's just that you and I don't know each other. What can I do?"
Be your carriage."
Ren Xifeng had no intention of saying anything more, so she turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion. Unexpectedly, the man was not polite at all. He actually stretched out his hand to hold her back, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by unfamiliarity?
We are going to get married soon, and you still say you are not familiar with me?"
His voice made a lot of noise. Many people were walking out at the door of Prince Li's Mansion. Naturally, his words were heard by people. People couldn't help but froze for a moment and stood up one after another to watch the excitement.
Ren Xifeng became angry and swung his arm hard. The old general's daughter, who was already very skilled, used such great force that she actually threw the man back several steps and hit the door of Prince Li's Mansion with a clang.
superior.
That man also drank too much today, and he was almost confused by the collision, but his anger was also aroused by the collision. He shook his head, stood up straight, and pointed at Ren Xifeng and yelled "bitch"
!You are just pretending? You are just the daughter of a general. What are you so awesome about? Who doesn’t know that the military power of Dashun is in the hands of the prince. General Pingnan used to have some power, but now he has military power.
He was taken back by the royal family a long time ago, and he only has a vacant position. Apart from his early reputation, what else does your family have? Your brother is just a little general. He has thousands of people in his hands, so he can take advantage of himself.
Being a dish? Let me tell you, my father is the censor of Zuodu in the Supervisory Council, but he actually holds the current power and is a serious official of the second rank. If he can come to your house to propose marriage, he is looking down upon you.
Family. Don’t take yourself too seriously!”
Ren Xifeng was startled, proposing marriage? Did Zuodu Yushi come to the general's house to propose marriage? She was not sure, because after her brother got married, her family had indeed made plans for her marriage. Her mother once said that she wanted her to marry
Jing Guan'er, it doesn't matter how big or small your official position is, whether your family is rich or poor, as long as you don't leave the capital, so that she won't be bullied and her parents won't be able to help her because of the long distance.
She didn't resist this matter. After all, her age was there. Her elder Feng Yuheng was two years old and she was already twenty this year. She was already an old girl. If she didn't get married, it would be difficult for her to get married again. Although
The family was not very anxious before, always hoping that she would marry into a good family and be in love with her husband. However, in recent years, she had not met anyone who could be in love with her, so this delay delayed her until she was twenty years old.
Now the family is very anxious. Who has heard that the eldest girl will not get married until she is twenty years old?
But what's the matter? I'm afraid of being anxious. Being anxious will give people the feeling of being discounted. General Pingnan's Mansion has never accepted door-to-door marriage proposals. There have been cases where matchmakers were kicked out of the house before.
So people basically didn't expect it. Unexpectedly, the door was opened recently to welcome matchmakers into the house, so people also realized that the eldest lady of the Ren family is twenty years old! She is too old, and if she doesn't get married, she will be killed.
Therefore, the current threshold of the general's mansion is almost broken by the matchmaker. The general's wife has to take care of Lu Ping and deal with the matchmaker, which is very tiring.
Ren Xifeng told her mother several times that this matter was not urgent. In the worst case, she would not marry, and it would not matter. Did the General's Mansion still think she was embarrassed or could not afford to support her?
But the general's wife said, it's not that she thinks you are embarrassed, her daughter is good no matter what. It's not that we can't support you, our family is not that poor. It's just that if we can't find you a good husband, it means
You can't have a companion in this life, and your parents can't always stay with you. What if one day we all leave and you are left alone? Don't count on your brother. No matter how good your relationship is, your brother will not
After you get married and have a sister-in-law, they will also have children of their own in the future, but there is always a gap. Therefore, your parents can rest assured if your husband is successful and your husband is successful.
She felt sorry for her parents, so she didn't mention the rejection again. She also thought in her mind that if there was a similar person, and her parents thought it was good, then she would marry her. She didn't have anyone in her heart, and she didn't have anyone to live with.
It's all the same. If a twenty-year-old girl stays at home, she's afraid that her father's spine will be broken!
In this way, Ren Xifeng acquiesced to the proposal of marriage, but this did not mean that she agreed to the marriage of the Zuodu Yushi family. Her parents were both enlightened people, and they would never agree to it even if they had a son they liked.
If he makes his own decision, he will talk to her first and she will nod. Does the son of Zuodu Yushi feel too good about himself? Does he also look down on the General's Mansion too much?
She frowned and stared at this person for a long time, then she said: "There are so many people who went to the General's Mansion to say goodbye. My father has not nodded to anyone yet. You actually said this today, regardless of others."
Where is the proposer? Also, since the general's palace is worthless in your eyes, why do you still ask to marry the daughter of an old general who has no real power? "
"I think highly of you when I propose marriage." The man glared at Ren Xifeng, "If it weren't for the fact that you are still pretty, I wouldn't marry a twenty-year-old girl. Why don't you take the piss and take a picture of yourself?
How much is it worth if you have wrinkles on your face? If someone is willing to marry you, they will marry you off with a wrong dowry. If you don’t marry, you will be in trouble!”
What he said became more and more unpleasant, and the onlookers felt that it was going too far, and they all started to try to dissuade him. But the man didn't listen to the advice at all, and actually stepped forward to pull Ren Xifeng back, saying while pulling back: "Hurry up.
Get on my carriage, and you must be grateful that I am willing to see you off. What, do you mean that you don’t want to go back to your own home, but want to go directly to mine? I don’t want to be a groom’s boy in advance, young master.”
As he spoke, his other hand actually began to move. He put it on Ren Xifeng's shoulder, squeezed his fingers together hard, and made a gesture to bring him into his arms. The force was so strong that even Ren Xifeng gritted his teeth and couldn't move his feet.
He was so steady that he tilted his head.
The man laughed loudly, feeling that he had succeeded. He had even imagined spending a spring night with the eldest lady of the General's Mansion in his mind. But at this moment, he heard a voice coming from behind him. It was not urgent, not slow, not
Angry but not powerful, he was like a Confucian scholar, with a clear and elegant aura. But what he said was, "Let go of your two hands, otherwise, I don't mind letting them leave your body."
Everyone was stunned, followed the sound, and immediately took a breath of air.
But the young master of Zuodu Yushijia didn't notice anything. He drank too much. When he heard the words coming from behind him, he immediately said without thinking, "Who doesn't have eyesight?"
You have a long tongue and say harsh words there? I won’t let you go now! Not only won’t you let go, this little bitch must follow me back to the Censor’s Mansion, let me see what you can do to me?”
"What a pity." The voice rose again, "Master Zheng, the censor of Zuodu, cannot be said to be an honest official, but at least he is fair. I also have a good impression of him, but I don't have a bad impression either.
It is a pity that Mr. Zheng has been an official for half of his life, but his great career was ruined in the hands of his son. Anyway, he did not teach his son well, and this is the punishment he asked for."
The voice got closer and closer, until the man felt that the speaker was almost touching the back of his head. Suddenly, his arm hurt, and the arm holding Ren Xifeng suddenly lost consciousness due to the pain.
He looked at the woman in his arms being dragged away, and his other hand was still trying to hold Ren Xifeng's hand! He saw a folding fan tap on his wrist, and he didn't see how hard the fan was exerted, but
He just felt pain, and the pain was so heart-wrenching that even the seven-foot-tall man himself was moved to tears.
"Which bastard snatches my woman and beats me up? I..." He cursed and turned around, and at a glance he saw the sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng who was holding Ren Xifeng in his arms. He woke up instantly after drinking, and his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand.
, and knelt down with a plop.
Xuan Tianfeng had no intention of talking to such a person. He just said to his entourage: "Tie him up and send him to the Ministry of Punishment. The crime is falsely identifying himself as a relative of the emperor. Just tell Xu Jingyuan and let him put him on trial. Who is my father?"
Who. In addition, let Zuodu Censor go into the palace and tell his father that if his son is the father of this king, then who should he be to his father." After he finished speaking, he did not stay any longer and took charge of Ren.
Xifeng's hand did not loosen, and she led Ren Xifeng down the steps of Prince Li's Mansion. His palace car had been waiting below, and Xuan Tianfeng said: "Get in the car, and I'll see you off."
