The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 129 Innocent accusation, further discussion on the successor (4)
Xiao Lin looked at Feng Shaochen's appearance, and said with a smile: "If you like it, go back and beg the old lady to ask someone to propose a marriage! Marry and come in so you can keep it safe, so you won't have to worry about it."

"You think I don't want to?" Feng Shaochen pursed his lips with a look of loneliness.

"Think? Why don't you say it?"

"It's useless to say it." Feng Shaochen sighed sadly, "Miss Yao is a concubine. The old lady will never agree to let me marry her."

Xiao Lin nodded knowingly. The grandson of the prime minister and the queen's nephew really cannot marry a concubine's daughter as the main wife, so he suggested: "Then welcome in and be a concubine. At worst, be a noble concubine and treat her with courtesy. That's it."

"It's impossible." Feng Shaochen immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"What's impossible?"

"With her temperament, she will never be a concubine."

"You know again?"

"Although she didn't say it, I can guess it."

"A regular wife can't do it, and a noble concubine can't do it, so it's very difficult." Xiao Lin also shook his head.

Feng Shaochen finally had a confidant who could talk about the things in his heart, how could he let it go so easily, so he took Xiao Lin's arm and asked, "Zi Run, what would you do if it were you?"

This time it was Xiao Lin's turn to shake his head like a rattle: "I'm not like you, a romantic and infatuated kind. Women in the world are dispensable to me, and I even made an oath before my father's spiritual tablet: I will not establish a career." , not getting married. Now you talk to me about these things, I don’t even think about it.”

The two aristocrats entered a restaurant while chatting and laughing. There were already several aristocratic princes waiting there. When they saw the two, they laughed and went in and yelled for a fine.

Yao Yanyu left the jewelry store, went to the silk and satin store to look at some clothes, and stopped at two pharmacies on the way back to buy some herbs for her own medicine.

Along the way, she was thinking about who Xiao Lin was, and Yun Yao's temperament was actually restrained a lot in front of him.It's just that she didn't pay much attention to these things in the first place, and she still couldn't tell the difference between the dignitaries in Beijing and China, let alone a dark horse that suddenly appeared.

In the evening, Yao Yanyu showed Yao Yuanzhi the jewelry she had given to the old lady, wife, sister-in-law and sister-in-law to express her feelings.

Yao Yuanzhi was even more happy when he heard that this was the jewelry given to his daughter by Princess Ninghua. Speaking of which, although his first daughter Feng Ge also prepared a gift, it was not as valuable as these things.The Yao family has been wealthy for many generations, although they don't care about this bit of jewelry, but a good thing is a good thing, priceless, everyone likes it.

So Lord Yao praised repeatedly: "Although things are precious, they are nothing compared to your sincerity. The old lady and your mother will be very happy, and your two sisters-in-law and younger sister will also be grateful for your friendship."

Yao Yanyi smiled and said, "I'll thank my sister for your second sister-in-law first."

Yao Yanyu hurriedly said: "The family is of the same flesh and blood, why bother to talk about being so born. What is mine that is not given by my parents? The old lady has loved me for so many years, I have never been filial, and I have nothing else. The eldest princess rewarded it, so I asked my father to take it back to make my grandmother and mother and sisters-in-law happy."

Yao Yuanzhi and Yao Yanyi were very happy, while they were talking, Master Cao came in and replied: "The luggage has been packed, sir, will you check it yourself?"

"No need, Yan Yu is doing things, I am very relieved. It's getting late, everyone should rest early, and tomorrow we have to start early." Yao Yuanzhi waved his hand, and told Yao Yanyi: "You are so hardworking, next spring will be like a dream. If you can't be on the list, you will have no face to go back to Jiangnan."

Yao Yanyi hurriedly bowed and agreed, and together with Yao Yanyu respectfully sent his father back to his room.Seeing Yao Yuanzhi leaving with Master Cao and others, Yao Yanyu asked Yao Yanyi: "Second Brother, when I went out today, I happened to meet Mr. Feng from the Prime Minister's Mansion walking on the street with a Mr. Xiao. Princess Lian Yunyao saw you. He's always courteous. I don't know where the Xiao family came from?"

Yao Yanyi looked at Yao Yanyu in surprise, and said, "Mr. Xiao who is with Mr. Feng and let the princess give way to three points, must be a member of the emperor's master Xiao's family. Why did my sister meet them?"

"Emperor teacher?" The emperor's teacher?Yao Yanyu thought to himself that the emperor is over 50 now, so how many years ago was his teacher?
Yao Yanyi looked at Yao Yanyu's bewildered face, and smiled slightly: "I also heard from my fathers that the emperor met a very talented scholar when he was young. , talented, worshiped him as a teacher, and talked with him about the past and the present every day, and learned the way of the king. Later, the emperor ascended the throne as the emperor, and wanted to make Xiao Yuankai the Taifu and enter the Shangshuyuan. But Xiao Dan politely declined. The emperor Helpless, I had no choice but to bestow the title of 'Emperor Teacher' and give him [-] mu of fertile land in the affluent south of the Yangtze River for his retirement. The world called him Emperor Xiao."

Yao Yanyu nodded, thinking that this old man Xiao still has a lot of backbone and vision.I know that a companion is like a tiger. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was just a prince. It doesn’t matter what he says. After he ascends the throne, he is the emperor. Scholars are always upright. If they are not careful, they will offend Tianyan, lose their lives and still be a fool.It's better to go home to farm and study to enjoy the happiness.

Yao Yanyi didn't know what Yao Yanyu was thinking, and while walking with her sister to the backyard, she continued to tell the story: "Later, Xiao Ying, the son of Master Xiao, entered the imperial examination and was promoted step by step by virtue of her true talents. When she was 40 years old, The emperor reused him and named him the governor of the southeast, the prime minister of coastal defense on the coast of Fujian and Ryukyu Island. Later, Ryukyu Island was attacked by red-haired thieves. Unfortunately, Governor Xiao fell into the sea and died. Not even a body was found. The emperor was very heartbroken and chased him. Governor Xiao was granted the title of Marquis of Jinghai, but there is no succession. The Young Master Xiao you mentioned should be the only son left by the Marquis of Jinghai back then. I heard that Emperor Xiao had a family precept. If a child of the Xiao family wants to become an official, he must From the imperial examination. Next year will be the year of spring, this Mr. Xiao must come to Beijing to take the exam."

Yao Yanyu let out an 'ah' in surprise, and asked: "So, this young master Xiao Lin is the Marquis of Jinghai?" No wonder even Yun Yao gave him three points of courtesy, and he was accompanied by the eldest son of the Feng family when he went shopping.

"It is said that Xiao Ying has only one son, who was raised by Mrs. Xiao and taught him to read since he was a child. Mrs. Xiao had some friendship with Prime Minister Feng at the beginning. Now that Mr. Xiao is going to Beijing to take the exam, Prime Minister Feng will naturally take care of him. Speaking of which, there is no one other than him. It's someone else."

Yao Yanyu chuckled and said, "He's already a Marquis, so why join in the fun? Is it useful for him to be a Jinshi?"

"This is not the case. Although he is receiving the salary of the Marquis, he has no official position. The old master Xiao is grateful for the emperor's kindness, and will definitely urge his grandson to make progress. Let him follow his father's path, enter the official position through the imperial examination, and serve the court. "

Yao Yanyu nodded, thinking that this old man Xiao is really upright and cute.
