Chapter 178: Please the three of you to be a witness
They are both wealthy families in the imperial capital. Compared with the low-key Xiao Mansion, the Nangong Family has a completely different style. It can be said that it is extremely luxurious.
The vermilion door is made of three-thousand-year-old mahogany wood, with strange and weird spiritual patterns carved on it. The four characters "Nangong Family" on the plaque at the door actually emit colorful light, shining under the scorching sun, which is eye-catching. eyeball.
The stairs in front of the house are paved with white jade, sprinkled with heartbreaking fallen flowers, and the colorful glazed tiles on the roof reflect the splendid brilliance. There are majestic halls, rows of tall buildings, small bridges, flowing water, and winding paths in the house. , compared to the area of the Xiao family, the first family in Daqian, it is actually several times wider.
"Uncle Clan, how did the discussion go?"
The head of the family, Nangong Tianxing, behaved respectfully towards the returning veteran spiritual master Nangong Tieshou, exactly like a junior treating his elders.
"Go in and talk." Nangong Tieshou glanced at the outer courtyard with a glint in his eyes, "There are too many people talking here, so it's not convenient for us to discuss matters."
Nangong Tianxing nodded and was about to turn around and enter the building when he suddenly looked ahead and sternly scolded: "You still know how to come back!"
Not far away, the second master, Nangong Linzheng, crept into the courtyard door, desperately lowering his voice, trying not to let Nangong Tianxing find out.
"Brother." After his whereabouts were discovered, Nangong Lin showed an awkward smile on his face, "Long time no see."
"Since I'm back, I should let you know." Nangong Tianxing frowned, not hiding his contempt for the second-in-law, "I plan to let Xiaojie marry into the Xiao family and marry Xiao Wuqing. "
"What!" Nangong Lin was shocked when he heard this, "My daughter's marriage should be decided by her father. Why don't you send a letter to discuss such a big matter with me? No, absolutely not!"
"You don't agree?" Nangong Tianxing was quite surprised by his second brother's fierce attitude.
"That's natural. Didn't Ling'er marry the Xiao family originally?" Nangong Lin shook his head repeatedly, "I see that Xiao Qingqing is very attentive to Ling'er's niece, why did he suddenly change to Xiaojie?"
He didn't say what he really thought.
A few years ago, Nangong Lin and Xiao Qingqing had a chance encounter. When the eyes of the two extremely beautiful men met, they instantly felt like confidants. They understood that the other person and themselves were the same kind of people, and they both lived among thousands of flowers. A passionate person with petals all over his body.
How could he not know that if Nangong Jie married such a romantic seed, her future life would definitely not be happy? Although he usually showed little concern for his daughter, he could not do anything like pushing his biological daughter into a pit of fire. of.
"The marriage is imminent and cannot be delayed for a moment. Ling'er is far away in southern Xinjiang and will not be able to come back for a while." Nangong Tianxing said resolutely, "Besides, Xiao Wuqing's life experience, appearance and talent are all the best choices. I won’t humiliate Xiaojie, that’s it.”
"I don't agree!" Nangong Lin finally mustered up the courage and contradicted his brother, "If your daughter doesn't come back, then use my daughter to top the tank. How can there be such a truth in the world?"
"What did you say!" Nangong Tianxing was furious. He waved his right palm and turned into a huge golden fist in the air. He slammed it on a big stone in the yard and smashed the stone into pieces. "I
All this is done not for the sake of the family!"
Nangong Lin was frightened by his brother's terrifying power of the Heavenly Wheel. He wanted to argue, but he dared not speak out in anger. His face turned green and red, and he felt depressed in his heart.
The two brothers stared at each other in silence, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was heavy.
As the elder of the family, Nangong Tieshou naturally did not want to see the feud between the family master and his brothers. Just as he was about to speak out to persuade him, he suddenly heard a report from the disciples outside: "To inform the family master, Prince Wu Li Qing is visiting!"
Nangong Tianxing was stunned when he heard this. He had no friendship with Li Qing. Now he was in alliance with the Xiao family and was faintly on the opposite side of the royal family. He was completely unprepared for the sudden visit of the popular Prince Wu.
Soon, Prince Wu Li Qing, who was fluttering in white and handsome, entered the courtyard under the guidance of his maid.
"What a good day today is." Nangong Tianxing smiled with a smile on his face. He didn't look like he was quarreling with Nangong Lin just now. "I can actually get Prince Wu to come here. In the battle at Yuxiao Villa the day before yesterday, the prince showed his power at such a young age.
Although he is light, his strength is far superior to us old guys, which is really admirable."
"Where is the master of the Nangong family? I have admired him for a long time."
.”
"Invited?" Nangong Tianxing was stunned when he heard this, "Invited to what?"
Before Li Qing could answer, the disciple from outside came in again to report: "To inform the head of the family, Prime Minister Sun Jian is here to visit!"
"It turns out that the head of the family also invited Lord Changsun." Li Qing was slightly surprised.
However, the one who was more surprised than him was Nangong Tianxing himself. In recent days, he kept a low profile and rarely had contact with people. He would not send any invitations to the royal princes and the emperor's henchman, Sun Jian.
"Master Nangong." The eldest grandson of the prime minister was wearing a red robe, with a smile as warm as spring on his face, "I am honored to be invited by your family."
Who the hell invited you?
Nangong Tianxing's head was full of black question marks, and he just felt baffled.
Immediately afterwards, Menzi attracted another heavyweight guest, General Xue Dingxi.
"Old Nangong, it's really strange that you would send an invitation to the old man." General Xue's temperament is completely different from the other two. He is straightforward and carefree, "The old man is here, you might as well say what you have to say.
Fart quickly."
Nangong Tianxing was familiar with the old general's character, but he was not annoyed when he saw his vulgar language. He just looked at the three guests and said, "Three of you, have you all received the invitation from my Nangong family?"
"Exactly." The three of them nodded in unison.
"But..." Nangong Tianxing looked quite embarrassed, "I have never sent out invitations. Second brother, could it be that you invited these three distinguished guests?"
"I just came back today, how can I have a chance to post?" Nangong Lin waved his hands repeatedly.
"Well, old Nangong, it turns out you are too busy to entertain us!" Old General Xue said in annoyance upon hearing this.
Nangong Tianxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The three of them, Prince Wu and Prince Wu, were all prominent people. Even though they were on hostile positions, he could not easily break their faces until the last moment. He was immediately in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"These three distinguished guests were invited by me."
A clear and gentle voice came from behind, causing everyone to turn around.
I saw Nangong Lingzheng, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, standing at the door with a picturesque face and a graceful figure. Her pink gown was embroidered with orange stripes. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, as if she wanted to suck people in. She said,
of the beauty of the world.
Behind her, stood a woman in a green shirt with a graceful figure. Her face was covered with a green scarf, blocking her appearance below her beautiful nose. Her water-like eyes contained endless elegance.
"Ling'er!" Nangong Tianxing was shocked when he saw his daughter.
Did I blame Ye Qinglian wrongly? Did she really bring Ling'er back to the imperial capital?
He considers himself a wise man. He saw flaws in the letter sent by Ye Qinglian and deduced that Nangong Ling would never return to the imperial capital in a short time. That's why he made a move to marry someone else, but unexpectedly the two women
He actually appeared directly in the mansion, and his thoughts were confused for a moment. He didn't know how to deal with it in front of several guests.
"It turns out it was Nangong's niece who invited me." Changsun Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I wonder what the virtuous niece invites the three of us to do?"
"My little girl is brave and wants to ask three of you to be witnesses." Nangong Lingqiao smiled brightly and movingly, "Please don't blame your eldest grandson for the abruptness."
"Oh? What is so important that the three of us need to witness it together?" Changsun Jian secretly praised the beauty of this woman's appearance. It was rare in the world, and his tone was a little softer.
"You are a responsible girl, and you are also very beautiful. I wonder if you have agreed to marry me?" Old General Xue chuckled, "If not, what do you think of that incompetent boy in my family?"
"Uncle Xue is joking." Nangong Ling pursed her lips and smiled, directly brushing off Old General Xue's half-truth and half-false joke, "Speaking of which, it's also unfortunate for our family. A few days ago, my second uncle was out gambling and fighting with others.
The assets of the second family of the Nangong family were all lost."
Hearing this sentence, Nangong Tianxing's eyes lit up, and he glared at Nangong Lin fiercely. Seeing the second brother's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he knew that what his daughter said was probably true.
"Fortunately, the little girl has worked hard outside these years, earned some book capital, and got acquainted with the gambling man." Nangong Ling continued, "After various negotiations and various pleadings, the other party finally relaxed and left the family home.
The assets of the second house were discounted and all were transferred to me. Here is the bet from the second uncle and the contract for my acquisition of the assets of the second house. I would like the three of you to take a look at it."
After saying that, she reached into her arms, took out two contract papers, and handed them to Prince Wu Li Qing.
Nangong Lin was already frightened to the point of weakness. When he heard that his niece had redeemed the assets of his second house, he couldn't help but feel reassured and breathed a sigh of relief.
The head of the family, Nangong Tianxing, looked at Nangong Ling's actions and felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He often felt headaches for his daughter, who had been so witty since she was a child, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with these two contracts." After Li Qing examined them carefully, he nodded and handed the contract to Changsun Jian beside him.
After all three of them had read the documents and confirmed that they were correct, Nangong Ling said softly: "Your Majesty, Uncle Grandson, and Uncle Xue, do you have any questions about these two contracts?"
"There is no problem." Li Qing and others agreed.
"So, from now on, the little girl can be regarded as the head of the second house of the Nangong family." Nangong Ling's eyes sparkled, "Yes or no?"
Li Qing and Changsun Jian were stunned when they heard this. According to the contract, Nangong Ling could indeed be regarded as the owner of the second house of the Nangong family. However, among such a wealthy family in the imperial capital, there had never been a precedent for a woman to hold power. They looked at each other for a moment.
, I don’t know how to answer.
"Nonsense!" Nangong Tianxing had already guessed what his daughter was thinking and scolded sternly, "There is no reason for a woman to be in charge of a house. Since the assets have been redeemed, then return it to your second uncle quickly and ask him to give you some
