The concubine is also very good today

Chapter 67

Jing Xi wanted to refute, but before he could say anything, Xiao Cao continued: "I thought about letting Qiao Niang live with you, but you are not yet married. This is really against the rules. If it is really broken For example, aren't the family rules messed up? So, my mother wants to discuss this matter with you!"

"What are you discussing?"

"It's about Qiao Niang! What are you and Qiao Niang going to do now?"

Jingxi originally wanted to get promoted as soon as possible, and after he got the mansion, the family separated and married Qiaoniang, but unexpectedly, Qiaoniang was discovered by Xiao Cao now. If he proposed to marry Qiaoniang, Xiao Cao would definitely not agree.

Jing Xi then took a step back and said to Xiao Cao, "My boy and Qiao Niang really love each other. Why don't mothers show the boy the way!"

In this way, Jing Xi did not disobey Xiao Cao, but at the same time put forward a condition - he wants to be with Qiao Niang!
Xiao Cao sighed helplessly, and said in a harmonious voice: "I can also see that the two of you have a deep relationship. In the past two days, I also talked with your father. Why don't you get married now, and I will give it to you." You said a marriage that can accommodate Qiao Niang."

This was said lightly, but Jing Xi immediately noticed the trickiness in the words: "Qiao Niang is a concubine with a child. In such a situation, which good girl is willing to come and suffer this grievance? Can you find such a girl?" There are only three possibilities - one is to lie to the marriage and hide it, only to find out the existence of Qiao Niang after marriage, and kill it first and then play it; the other is to marry a woman who is only for profit, then in the future it will be torture to each other; After all the benefits, the married daughter has no influence at home, let alone the ability to refute. No matter which one of these three paths is taken, there will be endless troubles, mother, you have to think twice."

Jing Xi refused to agree, Xiao Cao was not surprised.

She can not only maintain the image of a loving mother, but also control her sons to death. There must be her way to do this.

Jing Xi was unwilling to agree, and she also disagreed with Jing Xi, but said gently: "There is still a fourth way to go."

Seeing that Xiao Cao's family had made some concessions, Jing Xi hurriedly said, "Mother, please tell me!"

Xiao Cao said with a smile: "If you really want to stay with Qiao Niang forever, I can help you elope for my mother. In this way, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be damaged, and you will be safe. You don't have to worry about it." I am penniless, so I can go to Erlang to take thousands of taels of silver for my mother, and he can't say anything. At that time, you can take this money and fly away, go to remote villages and counties to do something, and live a peaceful life. .”

Xiao Cao seems to be full of plans for them, but in fact he has already said the rules to death-either maintain the appearance of the Hou Mansion and follow the rules of the Hou Mansion; or simply sever ties with the Hou Mansion and give up everything for a woman.

And when Jingxi and Qiaoniang decided to live their lives privately, they only planned to marry Qiaoniang after leaving the Marquis Mansion after becoming famous. He never thought that if he wanted to marry Qiaoniang now, he would have to give up his official career and fame.

Perhaps Xiao Cao had figured out that he would not be able to give up his official career, so he pointed out such a way with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Jingxi hesitated, Xiao Cao continued: "Actually, the arrangement for motherhood is not as terrible as you imagined. You should know that now you are only suspended, but the next step is to go to a remote area or stay in the capital. That's still unknown. You have lived in Beijing since you were a child. If you were assigned a place where birds don't lay eggs, would you be able to stay? So at this time, you need someone who can keep you in the capital. Your Majesty! I talked about the marriage for your mother. She is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As a concubine, if Miss Chang likes a child, it is all right to put the child in her room to raise."

Jing Xi listened to Xiao Cao's words, but did not respond.

Xiao Cao continued: "Of course, if you have endured hardships and are willing to take Qiao Niang out of here, I won't stop you for my mother. My mother respects your choice."

Jing Xi lowered his head, thin sweat dripping unconsciously from his forehead.

However, in the middle of their conversation, Mother Li rushed over suddenly and said to Xiao Cao: "Madam, Princess Zhaorong is here, and she said she came to see the eldest son, to cleanse the eldest son."

When Xiao Cao heard the words, she turned her head and said to Jingxi: "Look, so many people in the family care about you. You and Qiao Niang's affairs must be carefully considered. Go and meet the princess for your mother. You wait here for a moment."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cao followed Mother Li to the door. Mrs. Cao fanned her fan as she walked, and said wonderingly: "Didn't you pass the princess mansion when you received the wind and dust in the morning? How come the banquet for the wind and dust is over?" She just came here?"

Mother Li replied: "I don't know what's going on, this old slave. I'm afraid it's because the princess has been delayed a lot, but now that everyone is outside, we can't stop her from visiting, right?"

Isn't that what you said?
Xu Ruyi didn't attend the banquet to cleanse the dust, and now she came to visit Jingxi again, so the little Cao family couldn't say anything, so she had to go to greet Xu Ruyi.

After Mrs. Cao came to the gate of the courtyard, she saw that Xu Ruyi had brought Jing Yu over, and Jing Yu was also carrying a bunch of food.

When Xiao Cao saw this, she said pleasantly, "Brother Yu is here too?"

Xu Ruyi smiled and said: "Of course he is coming. This is his brother's return. How could he not come to visit?"

Xiao Cao knows that the relationship between the two brothers is not so harmonious, it is really not easy for Jing Yu to visit Jing Xi.

Xiao Cao smiled, and then heard Xu Ruyi continue: "Mother-in-law, we are both rude, if we know that big brother is back today, we won't let him mess around last night..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ruyi's words were somewhat shy.

Jing Yu glanced at her, completely unable to believe that a girl who was presumptuous in front of him all day would show such an expression.

Even though she was pretending, it could be regarded as opening Jing Yu's eyes.

What's more, she obviously didn't want to remember it herself, yet she still uses this kind of thing as an excuse.

Since she was so blunt, he simply said bluntly: "Mother, it's not Ruyi's fault. It's because I made a fuss a little too much last night, which caused her not to be able to get out of bed this morning. Otherwise, with Ruyi's temper , how could she not come to this kind of banquet?"

The moment the words fell, Xiao Cao looked at Jing Yu in disbelief.

Xu Ruyi even turned her head and reprimanded displeasedly: "What are you talking about?"

Jing Yu looked at Xu Ruyi sullenly, very satisfied with what he said just now.

Xiao Cao naturally would not continue to talk about this matter, so she agreed with Xu Ruyi: "It happens that your elder brother is in my courtyard, so feel free to chat if you want to chat, our family should get together more on weekdays."

After speaking, Xiao Cao brought Xu Ruyi to Jingxi, and the moment he saw Xu Ruyi, Jingxi already noticed something strange.
