Chapter 1375 Rejection
What kind of brain does Fang Xuanling have?
Although he didn't know what his son was planning, he trusted his son to handle the affairs of the court and knew that he must have an intention. He immediately said with a look of surprise: "Oh, I'm so old and confused. I forgot about this matter." Already..."
Then he turned to Li Yuanjing and said awkwardly: "This... Your Highness, forgive me, I really forgot about this matter. Your Highness, you can praise Quanzi Yize. That is the blessing of Yize and the blessing of the old minister. It's just that the old man in the family Wife... Ahem, please forgive me. Do you want to wait until the old minister asks the old wife whether she agrees to the marriage that she has left behind, and then give your Highness a confirmation? "
King Jing Li Yuanjing looked unhappy and felt extremely unhappy.
What's going on?
I, a dignified prince, came to propose marriage without any shame, but you rejected me?
However, he has a gentle temper. Even though he was very dissatisfied, he did not have an attack. There was nothing strange on his face. He still smiled like a spring breeze: "It should be, it should be. It's just that I didn't understand the details before he rashly Coming to the door seems to be causing trouble for the room manager.”
The words were polite, but a bit aggressive.
I am a prince, and I came to propose marriage in person. Do you dislike it for causing trouble to you? Even if your son really decides to get married, after all, he has never heard of the three books and six etiquettes, it is just a verbal agreement. Is it possible that I, the prince, can't let you reject that first marriage and marry my daughter instead?
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling actually nodded, sighed, looked at Li Yuanjing and said helplessly: "To be honest, your highness has really caused trouble for me... Your highness should know that my old wife is the most unreasonable person. , even His Majesty once I came up with the idea of letting the old minister divorce his wife, but the old minister is really reluctant to let go of the so-called poor wife... Alas, this matter is not pushed by the old minister. In fact, if I can't get the old wife's approval, the old minister really can't make the decision. "
Li Yuanjing was stunned.
If you are someone who doesn't know what's going on, you may have to fight with Fang Xuanling. You, Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the country, actually said that you can't be the master of your son's marriage. How ridiculous is it?
But Li Yuanjing was the one who knew about it. The "jealousy" incident back then is still talked about by people today. Who doesn't know that Fang Xuanling's family has a fierce wife and a weak husband?
As for the idea of divorced wife at home...that is pure nonsense.
Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, was born in the direct branch of the Lu family in Fanyang. Who dares to divorce the direct daughter of the Lu family?
That's Fan Yanglu's family!
"Since ancient times, Youyan has been the unparalleled place, the first state in Fanyang in the world"!
When the Lu family of Fan Yang was under Qin Shihuang, there were Lu Ao, a doctor of the Five Classics, and Lu Sheng, a doctor of astronomy. Following Lu Wan, King of Yan in the early Western Han Dynasty, and Lu Zhi, the great domestic Confucian scholar who was honored as "the model of scholars and the leader of the country" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, all came from Fan Yang.
From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, Lu Zhi's descendants, Lu Zhi, Lu Chen, Lu Yan, Lu Miao, Lu Xuan, etc., were all officials and scholarly families. From Lu Xuanqi to his great-grandson, the whole family lived together and shared wealth. What is a scholarly family? This is the real scholarly family!
The imperial families of the past dynasties wanted to marry the "Shandong noble families" represented by the Lu family. As a result, the families who wanted to marry their daughters were not necessarily willing to marry them. More often, they married their own princesses. In history, it was called "Fanyang Lu family". "Princess Three"...
Who would dare to divorce a legitimate daughter from such a family? Who is willing to take a break?
Li Yuanjing was speechless. If it was true that Mrs. Lu was engaged to be married to his wife, then he really wouldn't have looked out of favor with King Jing and turned away the engagement and married his daughter instead.
The dignified prince came to propose marriage in person and ended up in such an embarrassing situation... No matter how gentle Li Yuanjing was, he felt shameless. He said a few clichés and left in disgrace.
*****
"Why did you prevent your father from agreeing to King Jing's marriage?"
After Li Yuanjing left, Mrs. Lu heard in the back house that King Jing had come to propose marriage to his son. She hurriedly came over to check the situation. Fang Xuanling ordered the maid to make tea again. Mrs. Lu sat aside, while he sat across from his son and asked. road.
Fang Jun asked: "The son dares to ask his father why he agreed to King Jing's marriage?"
Fang Xuanling asked: "Why can't you agree?"
Fang Jun said: "There is no benefit in agreeing."
Fang Xuanling said: "There's no harm in it."
Mrs. Lu looked confused: "..."
What is this nonsense?
"Speak to me! Show off your skills, right? Who can understand the nonsense? Let me ask you, how is Yi Ze's marriage?"
Fang Xuanling pointed at Fang Jun: "This son of yours has messed it up."
Don’t ask for merit, but ask for no faults. Let’s throw the pot away first...
Fang Jun was speechless and looked at Fang Xuanling.
Dad, can you at least have some backbone? If a man can do what you do, fail!
Fang Xuanling had a leisurely look on her face and was sipping tea. Does she still have the intention to blame me? You should go through your mother's test first and then talk about it...
Sure enough, when she heard that Fang Jun had messed up the marriage, Mrs. Lu's eyebrows suddenly stood up. She turned around to find a feather duster and cursed: "You evildoer! You own a lovely wife and beautiful concubines who enjoy the blessings of others, and you don't care about the life or death of others." Your brothers are already thirteen years old and you still want to marry each other, but one of you finally got married. I can’t beat you to death!”
But this front hall is a place for entertaining guests. Where can there be a feather duster? He searched around and couldn't find it, but he refused to give up and pinched Fang Jun's arm hard twice.
Fang Jun gritted his teeth in pain, but he did not dare to dodge, and begged for mercy: "Mom, my son has a son, can you please stop being so rude... Besides, you are such a smart person, how could you not see that this is me?" King Jing is here to find his father, so how can I be qualified to speak on this matter?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, it made sense. She glared at Fang Xuanling and asked, "What's going on with you? That King Jing has an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament. I believe his daughter is also an excellent one, and she matches my family's legacy." , Why refuse? ”
Fang Xuanling said: "It's Erlang who winked and coughed. I was wondering what he was doing before I had time to ask."
"Isn't this still your business?" Madam Lu was angry, grabbing Fang Jun and pinching him again.
How about Hua Tingbo?
How about Jing Zhaoyin?
What about the Minister of War?
In front of my mother, you will always be the third grandson, you can hit me if you want, pinch me if you want!
Fang Jun could only say: "Mom, think about it, even if King Jing fell in love with the third child and wanted to get married, why did he come to the door in person? This matter can be done through a middleman to test my family's intentions, and then Find a matchmaker to come and talk about it. If it's consensual, it will be natural. "
This matter is indeed abnormal. Generally speaking, if a woman likes a man, she will find someone to reveal it and ask the man what he means. If the man is interested, the man will find a matchmaker to take care of both families. This matter Even if it is done.
But not only did the woman come to propose marriage without any warning in advance, but the woman's father, who was a prince, also came to the door in person. No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit strange and unreasonable.
Lu blinked, started to think, and wondered: "Is it possible... there is some conspiracy in this?"
"Pfft" Fang Xuanling spurted tea out of her mouth, choking and coughing.
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Edi Niang! How can there be so many conspiracies? It's just that King Jing must have something to ask of my family, and his plans are very big."
"Uh...I thought it was all kinds of schemes and conspiracies..."
Lu was a little embarrassed, as if she had been infected by the conspiracy theories that the two father and son had been talking about all day long. However, seeing the expressions of father and son trying hard to hold back laughter, they suddenly became angry and pinched Fang Jun hard. Then they glared at Fang Xuanling and said playfully: "You two are the only smart ones, and I'm a fool, okay? I'm a fool." No matter, anyway, I have lost my daughter-in-law, so you have to be responsible for finding me one. She must be a lady, not an ordinary one!”
Now the Fang family is one of the first-class dignitaries in the entire Tang Dynasty. There is a prime minister and a high-ranking official in the ministry. The mistress is the direct daughter of the Lu family of Fan Yang, and the daughter-in-law is a royal princess... What kind of family is this? Can't marry your daughter?
The father and son looked at each other, how could this matter be spread over their heads?
Fang Xuanling has indeed been an official for a long time and is very good at shirking blame: "No matter what your intention is in rejecting King Jing, your mother is right. If you lose the third son's wife, then you will Responsible for finding one.”
With such a father and mother at the table, what else could Fang Jun say?
But it wasn't for nothing. He rolled his eyes and said, "My son just casually told King Jing that his mother had arranged a marriage for the third child with his mother's family in advance. Why don't the mother find a suitable one in the Fanyanglu clan?" Girl, can you settle this matter? It can not only fulfill your son's lie just now, but also silence King Jing. The most rare thing is that a niece from your mother's family comes into the house. Mother, you will be more considerate in the future, right?" br>
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was immediately happy: "Oh, my son is still smart! Why didn't you think of this? Mr. Ding Xingwang of the Lu family must have a suitable one. Your mother and I are Lu's aunt, Lu's The girl and the third child are cousins. If these cousins kiss each other, they will break the bones and connect the tendons. That is the best marriage!"
He couldn't help being happy immediately, got up and went to the back hall, thinking that the girl from her mother's family was suitable to be her third daughter-in-law...
In the hall, Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief and nodded approvingly at his son. Children can be taught.
Fang Junze smiled modestly, talking to each other...
"By the way, why did you reject King Jing?" Fang Xuanling was confused about this matter.
Fang Jun paused, pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "My son, King Guanjing... I'm afraid he has evil intentions and a big plan."
Fang Xuanling was stunned.
A prince "has great plans", what else can he plan for?
This is extremely appalling!
He frowned and thought carefully about King Jing's usual behavior. He was gentle, quiet, and seemed to have no desires. In fact, he was very close to Chai Zhewei, Xue Wanche and other generals who commanded the army. Now he came to his family to get married. ……hiss!
Fang Xuanling was suddenly shocked, he really didn't look like a kind person!
