Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 155 Qiao Shilang is an old man?
Qiao An and Su Jiu heard the news about the Fang family in the palace within two days after mentioning Miss Fang's family.

This day, I came out from the morning court and went to Yushi Zhongcheng to ask for an official document. As soon as I entered the Yushitai, I heard several officials chatting.

"Mr. Chang Shi Fang is going to marry Mr. He Zhang, have you heard?"

one person asked.

"It is estimated that the wedding invitation will be delivered, and I also heard that the Fang family will marry two daughters together this time!" Another person said.

"Daughters of the two? Are they both married to Mr. Zhang's family?"

"Yes, one is the regular wife and the other is the second wife."

"Is Fang Mingtai crazy?"

"I heard that his eldest daughter is not very disciplined and colluded with a married man, so Fang Mingtai was in a hurry to marry her off!"

"Oh, I see!"

"No wonder!"

……

Qiao An stood there, his face gradually sank, and his originally gentle face was now cold.

Someone saw him first and hurriedly stood up to say hello, "Master Qiao!"

Others followed suit.

Joan didn't seem to hear, turned and walked out.

He walked very fast, did not go back to the household department, and went out of the palace directly.

Originally, I wanted to go to Fang's house, but after thinking about it, I went to see Su Jiu first.

Su Jiu was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that the Fang family would treat the eldest daughter like this, she bit her lips and thought for a moment, then looked up at Qiao An, "Master An, I just want to ask you, do you want to marry Fang?" Miss?"

Joan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "If I didn't want to marry, I wouldn't be looking for the boss today!"

Su Jiu smiled softly, "Just figure it out! Anyway, the two families haven't gotten married yet, so there's still time. I'll find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Fang's now!"

Su Jiu found the best matchmaker in Shengjing City and gave him a big red envelope.

As soon as the matchmaker arrived at Fang's house, he said that a happy event was coming!
Fang Mingtai hurriedly asked what the happy event was.

"It is Mr. Qiao, the household servant of our court, who has taken a fancy to your eldest lady!" the matchmaker said with a smile on his face.

"Master Qiao, Minister of the Household Department?" Fang Mingtai was taken aback. Although he was an official in the same dynasty, he had never met this Master Qiao.

The main reason is that his official position is too small, and he can't see the big officials above.

I just heard that Master Qiao is a former detective.

Aunt Sun asked tentatively, "How many rooms do you want to make for Mr. Shi Lang?"

The matchmaker laughed and said, "Our young lady is blessed, if she goes, she will be a regular wife."

Aunt Sun chuckled, "Impossible! You are not too young to be the servant of the household department. How could it be possible that you haven't married yet?"

"When I came, my lord also explained that I can't hide it from Mr. Fang. Mr. Qiao used to have a wife in his family, but he died of a sudden illness later. Later, Mr. Qiao delayed the marriage because he devoted himself to studying sage books and taking the imperial examination. Now I heard that Mrs. Fang has a gentle and virtuous daughter in her family, who is dignified and courteous, and she specially asked me to come to facilitate this good deed!"

Aunt Sun's narrow eyes flickered, and she said with a sneer, "But our young lady has already..."

"Being able to marry the servant's mansion, Zhen'er is naturally willing!" Fang Mingtai interrupted Aunt Sun and smiled at the matchmaker.

Even if it is to fill in the house, being able to marry Mr. Shi Lang is a good thing that fell from the sky, Fang Mingtai is willing to do so.

If he can get married with the servant of the household department, then maybe he can go further in his career as an official.

Anyway, marrying into the Minister's Mansion is a hundred times better than marrying Zhang Yun as a concubine!
"Then the adults agree?" The matchmaker smiled.

"Of course, it is the blessing of Zhen'er's cultivation in several lifetimes to be liked by Mr. Minister, how can there be any reason to disagree?" Fang Mingtai said happily.

"Master Fang is really a perceptive person, that's fine, I'll go and tell Master Qiao the good news now!"

The matchmaker got up, twisted his waist and walked out.

Fang Mingtai didn't come back until he was sent out of the gate.

Aunt Sun said displeasedly, "Master, you betrothed Zhen'er, what about the Zhang family?"

Firstly, she was worried that the loss of Fang Zhenzhang's family would regret the marriage and delay Fang Yuan's marriage, and secondly, she didn't want Fang Zhen to marry so well.

Fang Mingtai snorted coldly, "Zhen'er married the third-rank minister of the dynasty, if the Zhang family knew about it, would they dare to make trouble?"

Even if they had the guts to borrow their family, they would not dare to compete with the servant.

Aunt Sun pursed her lips, "Okay, I'll go and tell Fang Zhen quickly, I guess we won't make such a fuss if we marry into the servant's mansion!"

Liu Er was fanning Fang Zhen in the room, and saw Aunt Sun enter the yard through the half-open window.

Thinking that Aunt Sun was here to persecute their young lady again, Liu'er became furious, took the water that Fang Zhen used to clean her hands, and poured it out the door.

"Ouch!" Aunt Sun raised her head and scolded after being splashed all over, "You little girl, you splashed water when you saw someone coming, I think you did it on purpose!"

Liu'er held the basin and said, "Damn it, I didn't see my aunt coming over!"

Seeing that Liu'er still called her aunt, Aunt Sun gave her a hard look, "Where's your miss?"

"Miss is not feeling well, Auntie can come back another day!" Liu'er said calmly.

"Uncomfortable?" Aunt Sun snorted, "When I tell your lady the good news, she will feel better!"

Liu Er squinted at her, not believing what good things could happen to her?
Fang Zhen was reading a book in front of the desk, and didn't lift her head when she heard Aunt Sun come in.

Aunt Sun sat on the couch and said, "Zhen'er, this time I'm here to announce the good news to you!"

"As long as you don't let me marry Zhang Yun, it will be the greatest joy!" Fang Zhen said lightly without raising her head.

"Yes, you don't need to marry into the Zhang family this time!" Aunt Sun said.

Fang Zhen raised her head in a daze, "Are you serious?"

"Seriously!" Aunt Sun said with a half-smile, "Master Chao Nakahubu's assistant has taken a fancy to you, and sent a matchmaker to propose a marriage today, and your father has already agreed!"

Fang Zhen's face changed again, "Master Minister? Who is it?"

"He is a third-rank minister of the imperial court. Of course, we have never seen it before, but it is a great thing to be able to marry such a high-ranking official and become a regular wife through the door!"

"I don't agree!" Fang Zhen said coldly.

"No?" Aunt Sun sneered incredulously, "Who do you think you are? You have been blessed for several lifetimes to be able to see you. What right do you have to not agree? You don't want to marry Zhang Yun, and neither do you, Mr. Minister. Marry, I want to ask what kind of person do you want to marry? Is it possible that you want to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

Fang Zhen was ashamed and angry at what was said, bit her lips and remained silent.

Liu Er frowned and said, "How old is this servant?"

Aunt Sun deliberately didn't want Fang Zhen to have a hard time, so she rolled her eyes and said casually, "You're not too young to be a servant, do you think you're still a son?"

"Then why hasn't he married yet?"

"I was married before, but I heard that she died, and then I was delayed in studying!" Aunt Sun explained lazily.

"Then our lady used to fill in a house for an old man?" Liu Er asked in shock.

"What's wrong with filling the house? Which high-ranking official doesn't have three wives and four concubines, let alone you used to be the regular wife!" Aunt Sun glanced at her mouth and smiled that Liu'er was not flattering.

"No matter what, I won't marry!" Fang Zhen said firmly.

"Don't marry? That's fine. If you don't want to marry the servant of the household department, go and be Zhang Yun's concubine. You can choose one yourself!" Aunt Sun said coldly, shook the handkerchief in her hand, got up and went out.

As soon as Aunt Sun left, Liu'er began to cry, "Miss, what do you do?"

Fang Zhen's face was pale, she shook her head and said nothing, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, why is your life so hard?" Liu'er felt sorry for her own lady and choked up.

Either marry a dandy as a concubine, or marry an old man as a wife, why can't God give their lady a happy marriage.

The master and the servant both hugged their heads and wept,

Sad.

No matter how Fang Zhen refused, the marriage with the Minister's Mansion was settled like this.

As Fang Mingtai expected, the Zhang family heard that the Minister's lord came to propose marriage, so naturally they dare not talk about marrying Fang Zhen, the date of marriage remains unchanged, and the only person to marry is Fang Yuan.

When Fang Yuan heard that Fang Zhen was going to marry into the servant's mansion, she was very angry, but when she heard that he was an old man, she immediately felt calm.

Somehow it was spread, anyway, Qiao An, the servant, became an old man who was dying, even older than Fang Mingtai.

Qiao An heard that Fang's family agreed, and she didn't want Fang Zhen to suffer any more at Fang's house, so she immediately sent a matchmaker to her door to talk about Na Cai and her name, and set a date for marriage as soon as possible.

It was already the end of June, and July was avoided, and the final wedding day was scheduled for the eighth day of August.

The Fang family was very happy to be able to climb into the Minister's Mansion, and naturally hoped that the marriage would be as soon as possible. After making arrangements for Fang Yuan's marriage, they began to measure Fang Zhen's wedding dress and prepare for the dowry.

It has been raining for two consecutive days, the drizzle is misty, and the Huanhua River is full of misty rain.

The boathouse walks through the water mist, the small bridge is lightly raining, and the willow trees on both sides have a bit of the ancient charm of the south of the Yangtze River.

On a small boat, the man was lying crookedly in the shed, holding a blue and white wine jug in his hand, looking at the green water and misty rain on the river lightly, his pair of red phoenix eyes were already a little drunk.

There are many rich and noble boats on the river, but there is only one boatman on this small boat, floating slowly on the river.

The small boat gradually entered the middle of the river, and suddenly a big boat approached, and then the small boat was hooked, and a man and his guards got off the big boat and got on the small boat.

The guards stood at the bow, and the man entered the shed. "Xia Shizi is so comfortable!" The man sat opposite, smiling gracefully.

Xia Huandan raised his phoenix eyes and said with a faint smile, "King Ruiyang!"

"It's boring for the prince to drink alone, why not drink a few glasses with the prince?" King Ruiyang took a cup by himself, poured the wine, and raised his glass, "Please, sir!"

Xia Huan didn't use the wine cup either, he directly raised his head and poured the wine jug into his thin lips, then used his wide sleeve to sip the wine stains on his lips, his posture was indescribably chic,
"King Ruiyang made a special trip here to meet this son by chance, not just to drink with me!"

King Ruiyang smiled "hehe", "This king is just wronged for Shizi Xia!"

"Me?" Xia Huan pursed his lips and smiled, "What grievance do I have?" "The son is the heir to the Yunnan palace, originally the master of southern Yunnan, with his own territory and his own soldiers and horses. But now the prince has been designed by Emperor Xiao." , Cut down the domain and lost the territory, became a prince in name only, the son can only drink every day to relieve his worries, isn't it wronged?" King Ruiyang smiled slowly.

"Who said this son is drinking to relieve his worries? This son is obviously very comfortable!" Xia Huan's face is handsome and elegant, "What's so good about being the master of southern Yunnan? You have to work hard and worry about the imperial court cutting down the feudal clan. Now you eat, drink and have fun every day, how can you do that?" Not better!"

"This king believes that the son of Xia is definitely not a person who seeks pleasure. Doesn't the son ever think about recovering southern Yunnan?" King Ruiyang said meaningfully.

"I never thought about it!" Xia Huan replied simply.

King Ruiyang choked suddenly, and after a long while, he said with a sneer, "Xia Shizi doesn't believe in this king, so he dare not speak his mind!"

Xia Huan bent one leg, held the wine in one hand, and looked lightly at the drizzle outside the window.

King Ruiyang's eyes flickered, and he said with a low laugh, "At the beginning, the son righteously exterminated his relatives and killed the traitors, so he saved the title of the Yunnan Palace. But Xiao Huang has already moved to kill the Yunnan Palace. The prince has no ambitions. The emperor may not believe it, could it be that the prince woke up and resisted when the knife was placed on his neck?"

"My lord is worrying too much! Your Majesty knows that this son only wants to be an idle lord of idle clouds and wild cranes. The Yunnan palace has already existed in name only. What else is your majesty worried about?"

"Your Majesty's thinking is really too simple! Is it true that the Yunnan Palace was wiped out so easily? You can go back and ask the King of Yunnan. Although Chen Feng is dead, there are still thousands of remnants of the Yunnan Palace. Won't you worry?"

Xia Huan turned his head to look at him, "King Ruiyang really knows about our Daliang affairs very well! But these words are really provocative, and this son has to doubt the prince's intentions!"

King Ruiyang laughed dryly, "My son is worrying too much. This king is just avenging the injustice for my son and the Yunnan Palace. After all, the world in Daliang was half of the credit of your Yunnan Palace. The ancestor emperor also promised that the Yunnan kings will enjoy the southern Yunnan from generation to generation. Sovereignty and land, now that Emperor Xiao is on the throne, he suddenly backtracks, no one can swallow this breath."

"I can swallow it!" Xia Huan said.

King Ruiyang, "..."

"Okay, I just think that this king is talking too much today!" King Ruiyang stood up, "I beg you not to take your words to heart, my son, and leave!"

"My lord, go slowly!" Xia Huan leaned there lazily, and said slowly.

King Ruiyang lifted his legs out of the canopy and boarded his big boat.

Watching the boat go away slowly, King Ruiyang narrowed his eyes viciously.

A person behind him said, "This person is so stubborn that he can't be used much!"

King Ruiyang refused to give up, "Find out what weakness this person has, I just don't believe that he is so pure-hearted and ascetic!"

"Yes!"

The man responded, and asked again, "Why don't we go directly to the King of Yunnan himself? He will definitely be willing to cooperate with the prince!"

King Ruiyang shook his head, "I have sent someone to investigate. Emperor Xiao has been secretly monitoring the King of Yunnan. We can't get close to it, and it is easy to expose. But for Xia Huan, Emperor Xiao is very relaxed, so this is our breakthrough."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"...

After the sky cleared, it started to get hot again.

This afternoon Su Jiu came out of the firm, and saw a ten-year-old girl standing beside the carriage, looking around, her face was covered with tears.

"What's going on?" Su Jiu asked.

Er Mao said, "It seems that I can't find my mother."

Su Jiu walked over, "What's your name, where is your mother?"

The little girl looked at Su Jiu with tears in her eyes, "My name is Nizi, I went to the street with my mother to buy cloth to make me a skirt, but my mother can't find it!"

Seeing her pitiful, Su Jiu wiped the tears off her face, "Don't cry, your mother won't lose you, she is probably looking for you now, I will wait here with you!"

"Thank you sister!" The little girl pursed her lips and smiled innocently.

However, the two waited for nearly half an hour, but no woman was looking for the child, and the little girl began to cry again.

"Well, where does your family live? I'll take you home. Maybe your mother can't find you and has already gone back!" Su Jiu said.

"En!" The little girl's big eyes flickered, and she nodded heavily.

Take Nizi into the carriage,

After asking where her family lived, Er Mao drove a carriage there.

Su Jiu took another tribute orange and peeled it for her, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, your mother must have gone home already!"

Nizi took the orange and held it in her hand, bowed her head and remained silent.

Su Jiu saw that she was wearing a washed-out skirt, which must have been altered from an adult's clothes, and the shoes on her feet were almost worn out, so she knew that she must be a child from a poor family.

How could someone lose a child so carelessly?And I didn't go back for such a long time.

Did it drop on purpose?
There are too many children in the family, and it is not impossible to throw the children on the street.

The carriage headed east all the way, passing through the bustling market, getting more and more remote, and gradually reached the earth-walled alley where the poor lived.

Turn into an alley according to the path pointed by the little girl, and stop at a narrow intersection.

The carriage can no longer get in any further.

"My family lives in this alley!" The little girl pointed.

Su Jiu took her out of the car, asked Er Mao to stop there, and took the little girl to her house.

"Master Jiu!" Er Mao suddenly called Su Jiu, "Be careful!"

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and nodded, "Got it!"

Su Jiu took her out of the car, asked Er Mao to stop there, and took the little girl to her house.

"Master Jiu!" Er Mao suddenly called Su Jiu, "Be careful!"

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and nodded, "Got it!"

The alleys are narrow, full of potholes and dirt roads, the fence gates on both sides are crookedly closed, and the courtyard walls are low.

Walking to the third house in the alley, the little girl looked at the mottled wooden door, her eyes dodged, "This is my house, I wonder if my mother is here?"

Su Jiu's eyes darkened, and she said with a smile, "I'll accompany you in to have a look!"

"Oh!" The little girl pushed open the door and let Su Jiu in.

There are three tile-roofed houses in the yard. There is a thatched cooking shed under the east wall covered with bamboo curtains, and there are firewood and other sundries under the west wall.

Su Jiu took two steps forward, then stopped suddenly, and said with a sneer, "Come out!"

The door opened, and a woman in a linen dress ran out of the room, holding Nizi in her arms.

Nizi was still holding the orange that Su Jiu gave her, turned her head and cried to Su Jiu, "I'm sorry sister, big brother cured my mother's illness, I promise him to do something for him!"

Su Jiu turned around slowly, looked at Wu Yi and Yan Shu standing behind her, and said with a smile, "So you two are hiding here? Do you still want my blood?"

Yan Shu smiled slightly, "I'm sorry madam, your blood is very important to me, I must take it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large net suddenly fell from the sky, covering Yan Shu's head, and then two men in black jumped into the yard, closed the net, and took Yan Shu into the air.

But in the blink of an eye, only Su Jiu and Wu Yi were left in the yard.

Both of them were stunned.

Su Jiu said, "What does this mean?"

Wu Yi's expression changed slightly, and he chased after the man in black in the direction where he disappeared.

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and flew to follow.

The woman looked at the three people who disappeared in a blink of an eye from the crack of the door, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought that there would be a life-and-death fight, but it seemed that she was thinking too much.Nizi looked up at her mother, "Mother, that sister will be fine, she is a good person!"

"It should be fine, they seem to be joking!"

"Oh!" Nizi nodded half understanding.

Su Jiu and Wu Yi chased around the alley for a long time, Wu Yi suddenly stopped and rushed towards Su Jiu, "It's not too late to catch you first!"

Su Jiu held his arm, "Hey, your apprentice is still alive or dead!"

"My mission is to catch you, not to protect her. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me!" Wu Yi said coldly, with a strange twist of his wrist, he attacked Su Jiu's neck.

Su Jiu turned around and dodged it, raised her leg and kicked the man's shoulder, "Inhumane!"

Wu Yi narrowed his eyes, and his attacks became more ruthless.

The two started fighting from the alley, their martial arts were equal, their bodies intertwined like phantoms, and it was difficult to distinguish the superior for a while.

With a sound of "Boom", a dirt wall was kicked by Su Jiu, and the dust flew up. Wu Yi frowned and turned around, dodging in disgust. Su Jiu took the opportunity to jump up, kicked the man on the shoulder, and kicked him immediately. into a courtyard.

The man fell down in the haystacks in a yard, frowning and covering his shoulders. Just as he was about to get up, Su Jiu had already grasped his neck with curled fingers and claws.

"Don't move, or I'll break your neck right away!" Su Jiu knelt on the ground with one knee, restraining the man, suddenly rolled her eyes, grabbed Wu Yi and turned over to hide behind a large haystack.

"What are you going to do?" Wu Yi asked in shock.

"Hush!" Su Jiu made a silent finger, poking her head slightly from behind the haystack.

Wu Yi fell on the haystack, and Su Jiu pressed his legs on his waist to prevent him from moving around. When the woman leaned forward, she leaned forward slightly. Her facial features were pure and exquisite, especially her pair of eyes, which were black and bright, pure as water, Wu Yi's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

This yard is no different from the surrounding yards. At this time, the door of the house suddenly opened with a creak, and a man in black came out carrying Yan Shu, followed by three people. The four went around to the back door under the west wall and quickly walked in. walked out.

Yan Shu was head down, motionless, not knowing whether she was alive or alive.

It must be the man of King Ruiyang!
Can't let Yan Shu fall into the hands of King Ruiyang!

Su Jiu squinted her eyes, ignored Wu Yi, and ran after her.

Wu Yi got up slowly, was stunned for a moment, then got up and chased after Su Jiu.

After leaving the alley, he went to the outskirts and chased into a forest.

It was already evening, and as soon as we entered the dense forest, the light suddenly dimmed a bit.

This time, Su Jiu and Wu Yi stopped being hostile and followed the man in black in front of them silently.

The man in black was very vigilant, and the three behind him stood in three different directions, constantly looking around.

Su Jiu and Wu Yi didn't dare to get too close, they could only chase for a while and stop for a while.

Passing through the forest is the farmer's crops, and the fields of corn can't be seen at a glance.

The man in black led Yan Shu into the Baomi field.

Su Jiu didn't dare to be careless and hurried to catch up.

Baomi was as tall as a person. After entering, she immediately lost her direction, and could only listen to the sound to identify her position and follow the traces of those men in black.

Su Jiu and Wu Yi shuttled between the corns. Suddenly, Su Jiu pulled Wu Yi's arm, "Don't go that way!"

Wu Yi was taken aback, and then threw Su Jiu away forcefully, with a flustered expression on his face, "Don't touch me!"

"Then you go!" Su Jiu raised her eyebrows.

When Wu Yi turned around, he seemed to be stepping on something under his feet. He lowered his head, his face was pale, "What is this?"

Su Jiu covered her nose and moved away from him, "Baba, commonly known as shit!"

Wu Yi seemed to be struck by lightning in an instant, trembling all over, with a strong murderous look in Taohua's eyes, "Su Jiu! I will kill you!"

Su Jiu ran away, "I dragged you, but you didn't listen, don't blame me!"

In the end, Wu Yi took off his shoes and walked on the ground barefoot. It was Su Jiu who took pity on him, remembering the stunts she had practiced on the mountain, and wove straw sandals out of corn leaves for him to wear.

Wu Yi wore it on his feet in disgust, and did not give Su Jiu good looks from the beginning to the end.

Su Jiu didn't care either, the two were still enemies anyway.

The two gradually entered the depths of the corn field, suddenly Wu Yi grabbed Su Jiu's wrist and said coldly, "Don't go any further!"

"Another shit?" Su Jiu looked down at the ground.

Wu Yi gave her a cold look, took out a cloth bag from his arms, reached into it, grabbed a handful of things, and threw them forward.

Su Jiu's eyes widened immediately.

There are strips of cobweb-like filaments between the corns in front, like a web with a piece of corn in the middle.
