Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1696 Promoted to Jiuqing
Xiao Rui froze for a moment, frowned slightly, pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Father is wise."

The battle in the court is not an enemy of life and death, the ups and downs of winning and losing, one ebbs and another, it's just the stars and the moon, an ordinary thing.Of course, you can’t be complacent when you win, but you should concentrate on making up for it when you lose. There is no such thing as a thousand-day red flower, and a hundred-day happiness for a person. Winning or losing, winning or losing, is there any destiny?
Now that the Fang family father and son have been eviled, not only have they suffered heavy losses, but they also have to face other people's revenge. The most important thing right now is not to lament and regret for not being able to compete for all the merits, but to think about how to make amends so that the Fang family's revenge can be reduced as much as possible. loss.

In the officialdom, profit comes first, and it is really inappropriate to send a daughter over when necessary...

Xiao Rui asked again: "The four brothers of the Fang family, apart from the oldest, the fourth and the youngest, which one does the father prefer to marry?"

Xiao Yu said: "What about the legacy of the third son?"

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu said: "Last year, King Jing intended to betroth his daughter to Fang Yize, and even went to ask for marriage in person, but was told that Fang's family had already made an engagement with Fan Yang Lu's. King Jing was quite displeased. With such a matter ahead, even if the father came forward, the Fang family would not try to offend King Jing and marry my family... The chance of my daughter marrying into the Fang family as the main wife is gone. I can choose a virtuous and intelligent woman from among the daughters of my family, and choose one of the three brothers from Fang Fang to marry as my concubine."

The Xiao family in Lanling is a first-class gentry family in the world. They have not been included in the five surnames and seven Wangs, but their family is prominent and noble, and their children are well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.Even if "Clan Chronicles" listed the royal clan of Longxi Li as the number one clan in the world, the gentry such as Xiao, Wang, Zheng, Cui, Lu, etc. were still ashamed of being with them, and would not want to intermarry with them so as not to mess up their blood...

Such a family would naturally not marry a prostitute daughter into the Fang family as a concubine, and could only choose a marriageable daughter from among the clan.

Even so, it can still make most of the world's elite flock to it...

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement. Although the eldest son was greedy for pleasure and did not have the ambition to reach the sky, he was talented and intelligent after all, with insufficient development and more than success.

Xiao Yu relaxed on the back of the chair and asked, "Then which one do you think is suitable?"

Xiao Rui said: "Da Lang's family legacy is pedantic and straightforward. Although he is the eldest son, he is definitely not a top-notch talent. He has a very low sense of presence in the family. Since he married Fang Jun as a concubine, why not just marry Fang Jun? Although this person acts willfully and recklessly, he has a very good reputation in matters of men and women, and he also loves his wives and concubines a lot, and our daughter will not feel wronged when she marries."

Xiao Yu nodded, squinted his eyes, feeling a little weak, and said softly: "That's it, I'll leave this matter to you. You go back and think it over carefully. You must choose a woman who is elegant, elegant, intelligent, and beautiful. That Fang Jun has a good eye. Gao, ordinary vulgar fans, even if they have the blood of my family, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch his eyes."

"Here."

Xiao Rui took the order.

The Xiao family in Lanling is the descendant of the royal family, and they have lived in a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River for several generations. The intermarriage and marriage are all famous families in the world, and the offspring born from them are all outstanding in natural appearance and temperament. It's hard...

*****
Before noon, the imperial decree had already arrived at Fang's house.

Fang Xuanling was still in the Lishan Farm, and Fang Jun was still in the yamen. The mistress Lu brought her family members to welcome the imperial decree. Hearing that His Majesty allowed Fang Xuanling to retire from office, it was inevitable that there would be a sigh of relief. Words such as "Shoufu" are far away from the Fang family. Even if they are not greedy for power, they will inevitably be lost for a while; The mood is bound to flutter again...

Although the Patriarch is getting old gradually and the former glory is no longer there, Erlang is thriving like the rising sun. At this age, he is already in a high position. In the near future, following the Patriarch's footsteps, he will ascend to the court and worship the Prime Minister, just around the corner.

Feeling lost and pleased at the same time, Mrs. Lu hurriedly invited the servant who delivered the decree to drink tea inside, but the servant had already received the order from the chief manager Wang De, so how dare she disturb him?Politely postponed again and again, only saying that he was rushing back to the palace to return to his life, without even drinking a sip of water...

Nowadays, no one knows that Fang Erlang's fortune has soared into the sky and is unstoppable. If he is misunderstood and offended at this time, it would be a waste of time.

After seeing off the servants who delivered the decree, Mrs. Lu led a large group of family members hula back to the main hall, hung up the imperial decree, and read it word by word, feeling very proud.

She pulled Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang to her side, and said: "Family and everything is going well, you men are so capable, you are already Jiuqing at such a young age, and you will definitely be able to improve to a higher level in the future. It is also expected. So you must guard against arrogance and jealousy, and you must not rely on your status to make troubles and make troubles at home, I will not spare you!"

Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang hurriedly expressed their opinions again and again, and they will serve the Lord with all their heart.

The two of them were very happy in their hearts. The so-called "mother is valuable according to her son, and her wife is worthy of her husband". Don't say that Wu Meiniang, who has been tortured since she was a child, can't help but smile at this moment. The pole is straight and proud.

All the sisters were married into powerful families, and the husbands and sons-in-law were all high-born and served in the court. Some were high and some were low. Already in the high position of Jiuqing at a young age?
Not to mention that relying on the friendship and respect between the prince and the prince, after the prince's elder brother ascended the throne, it is almost a certainty that he will ascend the court to pay homage...

Thinking about it, I was quite unwilling to marry this "black-faced god" back then, thinking that he was dull, stupid, tasteless and incompetent. If my father hadn't forced me, I'm afraid the engagement would have been broken long ago.

In retrospect, it was really dangerous to pass by this heaven-sent marriage...

Of course, even if Fang Jun becomes a commoner and penniless at this moment, Princess Gao Yang will never feel the slightest bit of disgust.Because she knows that even if the mountains and rivers are poor and desolate, that generous and stalwart figure will definitely stand in front of her forever to shelter from the wind and rain.

Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said.

Hold your hand and grow old together.

Seeing Princess Gaoyang squinting her eyes and smiling sweetly, Mrs. Lu took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness and Meiniang should also pay more attention to it. At such a young age, Duoduo should give birth to an heir, otherwise this big family business will be in the future." Who will inherit? Anyway, I don't count on your uncle."

Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang blushed a little, while the eldest daughter-in-law Du Shi who was beside her was embarrassed and wronged, and secretly reached out and pinched Fang Yizhi's waist and eyes, who was standing like a goose...

"Ouch!"

Fang Yi let out a cry of pain, waited for Mrs. Du, and asked in surprise, "Why pinch me?"

It was originally a small gesture between husband and wife, but because of Fang Yizhi's reaction, everyone in the room focused their eyes on Du Shi's face. Said: "Because you are useless!"

Covering her face and tugging at the skirt, she turned and ran out of the main hall, back to her yard.

Fang Yi was puzzled, shook his head and muttered: "It's just inexplicable! The ancients were honest and not deceived, it is true that only women and villains are difficult to raise..."

"What did you say?"

Lu's phoenix eyes widened, looking at her son viciously.

If it is placed in another house, and the daughter-in-law reprimands the son as "useless", no matter how enlightened the mistress is, she will get angry. Husband is the guide for wife, so do you still have to behave?
But on Lu's side, there was no intention of blaming her at all.

She is strong in her own right, and Fang Xuanling, the head of the prime minister, has been eaten to death by her all her life, so how can she care about these things?Besides, the daughter-in-law's sentence "useless" can be regarded as scolding her heart.The eldest son has been married for many years, but gave birth to a daughter alone, and has nothing to do.Fang Yizhi is the eldest son and grandson, the natural heir to the title of the family business, if there is no son to inherit the title, is it possible that in the future Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang's title will be cut off and taken back by the court?

The inheritance of titles has its own legal principles. Even if Fang Jun is more capable than the sky, as long as Fang Yi is there, this title will not be his turn no matter what...

At the beginning, Mrs. Lu thought it was the eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Du's body that she couldn't bear a son. Although she had never been treated harshly because of this, she was unavoidably dissatisfied, which made Mrs. Du often cry secretly.Later, Mrs. Du also realized the seriousness of the problem, and took the initiative to recruit several concubines for Fang Yi, but in the end, let alone a son, even a daughter was not born...

It was only then that Mrs. Lu realized that Mrs. Du had been wronged. It was not because of her daughter-in-law's fault, but because of her own son's fault.
