Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 148

Although Yan Xiu doesn't want to see Xie Guozhang now, he vaguely feels that Xie Guozhang's coming to talk to him about Yan Zhaoning at this time must have something to do with the Gong family. Yan Xiu doesn't want to see him, but he has to.

In the flower hall, Yan Xiu saw Xie Guozhang, and not surprisingly, behind Xie Guozhang, he also saw the enchanting Gong Shi. She stood behind Xie Guozhang with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, serving carefully. In front of Xie Guozhang, he was still humble like a little maidservant, and would never let Xie Guozhang feel oppressed. Yan Zhaohua, who followed Yan Xiu and entered the door together, suddenly understood why the Gong family had been able to gain a firm foothold in Dingguogong's mansion for so many years. The heel may have a lot to do with Xie Guozhang's lack of self-confidence in front of the Liu family. Liu's family background is good, the methods are high, and the government's government is submissive. He straightened his waist and spoke completely, and Xie Guozhang is not the kind of motivated person. As time passes, he naturally likes to be close to gentle and gentle women. Xie Guozhang kept his head down in front of him, he was sensible and talkative, coaxed Xie Guozhang to erase all the small mistakes for her, and pampered her wholeheartedly.

Yan Xiu saluted Xie Guozhang, Gong Shi politely stepped aside, not daring to accept Yan Xiu's salute, Yan Zhaohua followed behind Yan Xiu, and did not show any particular intimacy, anyway, Xie Guozhang had long since lost his affection for her She doesn't have to pretend anymore, Xie Guozhang glanced at Yan Xiu's father and daughter while drinking tea, only to think that the father and daughter look more and more like each other, they are both obedient on the surface, but in fact they have secretly planned in the past two years, and they seem to be on the rise , making him feel stressed.

"Get up, everyone. Sit down."

Xie Guozhang waved his hand to make Yan Xiu and Yan Zhaohua stand up straight.Xie Guozhang put down his teacup in a leisurely manner, and saw that Yan Xiu was still standing at the bottom, quite satisfied. He sat on the main seat by himself, and the seat beside him naturally couldn't allow Yan Xiu to sit. To make him feel proud, he raised his finger to the right In the lower position, Yan Xiu was asked to sit down, as if he was in charge of the house.

Yan Xiu is used to this kind of Xie Guozhang, and Yan Zhaohua is also calm. In her opinion, the older Xie Guozhang is, the more afraid he will lose his dignity. That's why he is so strong in these details. Yan Xiu will not be with him Calculating on such trivial matters.

"I don't know why my father-in-law came here during his busy schedule?"

Xie Guozhang waited for Yan Xiu to ask a question, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I heard something about..." Xie Guozhang seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, but after glancing at Mrs. Gong standing next to him, he continued: " About Sister Ning. Sister Ning has also reached the age of marriage, although she is a little immature, but since the opportunity has come, don't miss it."

Yan Xiu tapped his hand on the chair, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what opportunity father-in-law is talking about?"

"Don't play tricks on me, it's Tan Xiaozhi, the son of the mighty Marquis Mansion. I've heard about it. Since Sister Ning and Shizi Tan share a common heart, it's a blessing for the two families to get married. Don't you think so? ?"

Yan Xiu was so angry with Xie Guozhang's words that his nostrils were a little smokey. He was not sure how much Xie Guozhang knew, so he cast his eyes on Aunt Gong who was behind Xie Guozhang. Holding back his temper, he replied to Xie Guozhang with a smile:

"This... This is not something that can be suitable if I say it is suitable. The son of the mighty Marquis Mansion, in the future, he will attack the mighty Marquis Mansion. It is not something that can be done by just saying a few words. Besides, My father-in-law should know something about the affairs of the Marquis of Mighty Mansion and the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, I'm afraid that the matter of Sister Ning and Shizi Tan will not be easy to facilitate."

Xie Guozhang wanted to speak, but Yan Xiu raised his hand to stop him, and Yan Xiu continued:
"Father-in-law, I won't bother you about sister Ning's matter. To be honest, that girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child. Recently, she has made an unforgivable big mistake. After a while, I plan to take care of her." She sent her to the family temple. What the child did made me so disappointed and sad. Let alone the marriage of the mighty Marquis, I would not dare to marry her to other families. Pretend you haven’t heard of it, father-in-law, please take back that meaning.”

Xie Guozhang and Aunt Gong looked at each other, Aunt Gong was also surprised, walked out from behind Xie Guozhang, said to Yan Xiudui with a smile: "Master Hou, look at what you said is so serious, the third lady is only 14 years old this year, she has committed a big crime." Wrong, it shouldn't be sent to the family temple, not to mention, the father-in-law found such a good marriage for her, don't you think, Lord Hou?"

Yan Xiu spoke kindly to Xie Guozhang because he was a son-in-law, but Aunt Gong was not worthy of Yan Xiu's gentle words, and immediately responded: "I didn't know that I was a first-rank official in the court, and I needed an aunt to teach me how to speak and do things. No?"

Aunt Gong's face turned blue, but she didn't confront Yan Xiu, but took a step back, and continued to stand behind Xie Guozhang with her head lowered. She looked forbearing, in Xie Guozhang's eyes, it wasn't that she felt distressed, but she just felt that Yan Xiu didn't give herself too much Losing face, who doesn't know that Mrs. Gong is his favorite concubine, and if he doesn't say anything else, he just focuses on this. He can't talk to Mrs. Gong like this. He slapped the table and said angrily:

"What's your attitude? She's not qualified to teach you, am I qualified?"

Yan Xiu looked at Xie Guozhang and lowered his head. After all, he didn't dare to confront him. Xie Guozhang snorted and said:

"The son didn't teach, it's the father's fault, what big mistake did she make to let you send her to the family temple? I don't care what the mistake is, I will take care of her marriage with the mighty prince!"

Regarding Xie Guozhang's unreasonable words, Yan Xiu also expressed his position:
"Father-in-law, this matter is not up to you. Even if you force me, it is impossible for me to propose marriage to the Tan family for that shameless girl."

From Yan Xiu's point of view, isn't Gong's bringing Xie Guozhang here just to let him propose marriage to the Tan family?Yan Xiu is not that stupid, how could he be led by the nose by an aunt?But what Yan Xiu didn't expect was that he guessed wrong this time.

I only heard Xie Guozhang stare at him and said: "Who said you should go? I will handle this matter. I have already agreed with the Tan family, and Tan Cheng and his wife have already agreed to this matter. Now it is just It's all about being your lobbyist for them. No matter how you look at this matter, I think it's very good. The two children are also a good match. Although Sister Ning is a third girl, she is naturally gentle and gentle. Only when a woman marries into someone else's family is she truly free from worries, unlike that kind of self-righteous woman, even if she marries into someone else's family, she will be a disaster in the future and will not be liked by her husband's family."

Needless to say, the "self-righteous woman" in Xie Guozhang's words must be Yan Zhaohua. After she contradicted him in the Duke's mansion last time, Xie Guozhang hated her. Coupled with the Gong Ruquan incident later, Xie Guozhang sincerely He felt that there were too many things about her as a girl, the source of all contradictions, so since then, he was always picky with Yan Zhaohua, and nothing caught his eye. Yan Zhaohua was a little bit dumbfounded, her grandfather, The older she gets, the more confused she becomes. This kind of words come out of the mouth, and she really didn't consider the weight of the words. Yan Zhaohua thinks it's nothing, anyway, she has heard even the worst words in her previous life, let alone such innocuous words.

Xie Guozhang is really funny, Yan Zhaohua thought to himself, he can't bear other people's dominance, but he is very domineering to others, and there is a meaning that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.

Therefore, even if Yan Zhaohua knew that Xie Guozhang was talking about herself, she still watched her heart with eyes and eyes, and stood behind Yan Xiu, acting like an old monk in meditation, unmoved at all, but Yan Xiu was a little excited. One is because of Xie Guozhang’s criticism of the eldest daughter, and the other is because of Xie Guozhang’s strength. It’s still the same sentence. In the past, he was dawdling under Xie Guozhang’s hands. Yan Xiu was still unaware, and still wanted to control him with the same strong means as before, which made Yan Xiu feel very uncomfortable.

Said:

"What does father-in-law mean by this? You have already agreed on what is the Tan family? Sister Ning is the third lady of Changning Hou Mansion, and she is my daughter. How can you pass me and make this decision for me and Sister Ning?" What about you? This makes me very embarrassed. "

Xie Guozhang squinted at Yan Xiu: "What? The wings are stiff, I can't decide on such a small matter?"

"Other things are fine, but this matter is no small matter. It is really not for father-in-law to decide, so please take it back." Yan Xiu was already angry, but Yan Zhaoning was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were all messed up. Xie Guozhang couldn't bear this kind of inappropriate meddling.

Xie Guozhang slapped the table again and said sharply:
"What else? I think you just don't take me seriously anymore. Last time I didn't care about sister Chang, the second room of Xie's family. I warned you at that time, you Even if you are an adult now, don't forget who promoted you back then. If it weren't for me, would your Changning Hou Mansion be where you are today? This time, I have already put down my old face and dealt with it for you. The Tan family has also been suppressed by me. Now you want to tear me down? Let me tell you, there is no way! This matter must be done according to my instructions! You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you disagree! "

Yan Xiu stood up excitedly by Xie Guozhang, and was about to step forward, but was held back by Yan Zhaohua, who took a step forward and said:
"Grandfather's anger is related to the happiness of sister Ning's life. Father will inevitably be impulsive. Please don't mind."

Although Yan Zhaohua is a junior, his status is by no means comparable to that of an aunt. Therefore, although Xie Guozhang doesn't want to see her speak, he can't talk about Yan Zhaohua like Yan Xiu said about Gong. The words were a bit serious, and Yan Xiu's face turned ashen. It can be seen that he was very irritated. At this time, Yan Zhaohua came out to smooth things over, which could ease the conflict a little. Xie Guozhang leaned back on the chair, Angrily glaring at Yan Xiu, he replied to Yan Zhaohua:

"Hmph, I said so much to make you forget what Ben meant!"
