Chapter 1701 Dissatisfaction
Fang Jun looked at the pride on Princess Baling's beautiful face with a smile, ignored her, turned to Chai Lingwu and said: "As the old saying goes, if the wife rubs the face after being hit, the man must show courage and momentum. Pain your wife when she should be hurt, discipline her when she should be disciplined, and be arrogant when you say something, and others will laugh at you.”
All the princes and consorts present were sweating profusely, while the princesses looked at her with evil eyes and glared angrily!
The daughter-in-law who was beaten and kneaded...how dare you say that!
Chai Lingwu was extremely embarrassed, his face was red and he was at a loss.
Doesn't this mean that he is scolded in public for being afraid of his wife?
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and the deep-rooted Confucian idea of male superiority and female inferiority was much lighter than in the past. Many famous ladies, royal princesses, spent their days drinking, partying, and traveling for fun, and they were no less generous than men. However, in the final analysis, the secular trend of "marrying and obeying the husband" runs throughout. A man is ridiculed as "henpecked", which is not a good thing in any dynasty or generation...
Dou Huaicai gave up his seat to Fang Jun, and his wife Princess Lanling, who was sitting next to him, sat close to Fang Jun. When he heard this, his beautiful eyes widened, he slapped the table with his delicate hand and shouted: "Fang Jun, you How to speak? In your eyes, the princess is just one of those careless country folk, right? Don’t think that just because you are a bad minister, if you dare to talk nonsense, do you believe that I will make you look miserable?”
Among the princesses of His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun does not have a harmonious relationship with Princess Nanping, Princess Linchuan, Princess Dongyang, and Princess Baling. The main reason for the relationship is that he and his consorts cannot urinate in the same pot, and the relationship between them is not very harmonious. He was unhappy with the princesses.
As for the other princesses, they usually get along well with each other. They also give each other gifts during the New Year holidays and move around frequently.
This Princess Lanling has a sweet and naive temperament. She is the only "unruly girl" among the princesses who is on par with Princess Gaoyang. If she gets anxious, she might even dare to give Fang Jun a slap...
Fang Junxin said that I was running against Chai Lingwu, why did you interrupt me?
But after all, he couldn't be as cold-faced as he was towards Princess Baling, so he had to say: "Isn't this just for the sake of my husband? Is it right to marry a virtuous wife? But virtuousness is not something you are born with, and many times it is not something you are born with. If a husband is a weakling who is afraid of his wife, and knows his faults but cannot teach her well, then the wife is unworthy and does not know how good the world is. She will inevitably cause trouble for her husband when she is away from home. "
This is very meaningful to say...
With a simple understanding, it can be regarded as a warning or threat from Fang Jun.
You, Princess Baling, are so beautiful that I can’t do anything to you, but you dare not give me face, believe it or not, I will take care of your son-in-law when you turn around?
Obviously being a rogue.
Princess Baling felt aggrieved and resentful, and said angrily: "That's nonsense. How can I be so sharp-tongued?"
She didn't dare to scold Fang Jun for being arrogant, but tried to explain what she just said. She was already intimidated...
With Fang Jun's current position and power, if he really takes revenge and wants to deal with Chai Lingwu, it will really be enough for Chai Lingwu to drink...
Fang Jun held the wine glass, leaned back on the chair, and said leisurely: "Who just made fun of me for doting on my concubine? Not to mention my family affairs that no one needs to comment on, just talking about this concubine..."
Having said this, he looked at Xiao Rui, who had been silent all this time, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked: "Xiao Prince Consort definitely said that he wanted to marry a clan girl to me as a concubine, but why didn't I hear about it?" ? You, the Lanling Xiao family, are one of the best in the world. How can you betroth a daughter to me? You can afford me. It's just that my virtue is shallow and not worthy of the century-old Lanling Xiao family. It's better to keep the daughters of your family to make these dirty deals with those who are valuable, no matter what you are doing. The idea, sorry to say, doesn’t work here.”
The reason why he caught and bit someone today was entirely because of Xiao Rui's words!
When you want to mess with me, you mess with me, and you even have the dirty intention of charging me with "robbing a tribal girl." Now that you find that you can't mess with me, you turn around and drag a tribal girl out to reward me?
Do you think I'm a dog?
To throw a bone, you have to run over with your tongue hanging out and beg for mercy?
Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams!
It's okay to mess with me, but whether you can bear the consequences later is no longer within my scope of consideration. If I don't make you hurt and cry, you don't know the meaning of my roommate Er Bangchui's behavior all these years. Where is it!
The lobby was quiet.
Even Princess Baling looked at Fang Jun in disbelief. This guy...actually rejected the Lanling Xiao family's proposed marriage?
How stupid...
Although the Lanling Xiao family is not among the "Five Surnames and Seven Sects", in terms of the nobleness of the family, it is even worse. Among all the scholars, bachelors, officials and ministers in the world, even the royal family of Li and Tang, who wouldn’t want to marry an orthodox and noble Han Confucian woman from the “Seven Sects and Five Surnames”?
Even though the Xiao family of Lanling did not betroth a girl to Fang Jun as his wife, it was a great honor to marry a clan girl to Fang Jun as his concubine. I don't know how many people would be envious if I told you this!
But Fang Jun actually refused sternly in public, leaving no room for change...
Xiao Rui has always been elegant and elegant, but his handsome face could not help but turn blood red at this moment. How could he not be angry when Fang Jun was so straightforwardly contemptuous of his proud family?
But Qi Gui Qi, at this moment, I don’t know what to say to refute.
The reason why he took the initiative to reveal his intention to marry Fang Jun as his concubine was because he was afraid that Fang Jun would refuse, so he spread the news first. If Fang Jun really wanted to refuse, he would have to be afraid of the Lanling Xiao family no matter what. Face, right?
But who knew that this stick was really unethical, and refused so fiercely...
Are you saying that Fang Jun doesn’t know how to praise?
That would save some face, but his father Xiao Yu's words still ring in his ears. Fang Jun is the one the Xiao family needs to win over. Now that he has said it all, how can they save him in the future?
At the same time, the worry in his heart was even worse than the anger!
The Lanling Xiao family has its roots in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past two years, due to the huge profits from sea trade, most of the family business and energy have been transferred to this place. The profits are huge every year, far exceeding the previous ones which were mainly based on land output and rent. income. Some elders in the clan are already talking about buying land and building houses in surrounding countries, opening shops there, and completely transforming the Xiao family.
"Plowing, reading and passing down family traditions" is a very good tradition, which looks noble and elegant, but compared with the huge profits from sea trade, it is nothing...
Not only the Xiao family, but even the Guanlong Group in Guanzhong has sent their smart and capable children to Jiangnan to vigorously develop the maritime trade business.
It now seems that, at least in the next few decades, sea trade will become a trend that the nobles in the Tang Dynasty are following...
However, what makes the Xiao family irritated and worried is the previous failure to impeach Fang Jun.
Since he failed to completely defeat Fang Jun and achieve the purpose of replacing the supporters who dominate Jiangnan City, he will inevitably have to endure the backlash from Fang Jun for a long time.
Marrying a clan girl into Fang Jun as a concubine was also based on this consideration. No matter how noble the Lanling Xiao family was, it was absolutely cost-effective to pay a clan girl to win over Fang Jun, a young official with a rock-solid backing. of.
However, now looking at Fang Jun's attitude, Xiao Rui knows that his father may have made a mistake. Not only is it impossible to win over this guy, he will even suffer violent revenge!
Thinking of this, Xiao Rui became worried, and for the first time he became suspicious and dissatisfied with his father's decision...
Since you know that Fang Jun has a bright future and a solid backing, why bother provoking him?
After all, King Li Tai of Wei was a smooth and sophisticated person. Being disturbed by Fang Jun, the atmosphere at the banquet had completely changed. But besides being helpless, what could he do to this stick?
He had no choice but to knock on the table and said with a smile: "Today, my king is inviting you brothers and sisters to a banquet. It is just to talk about the flesh and blood relationship. You are so tit-for-tat, so don't blame me for being annoyed! Come on, let's raise a toast together. Let's respect our father from afar. Longevity without borders, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty for its eternal life, come and drink from this cup! ”
Who dares to talk nonsense when he brings up such a big reason?
Immediately everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
The atmosphere finally calmed down...
Fang Jun did not target Chai Lingwu and Xiao Rui. He changed places with Princess Lanling and sat next to Dugu Mou. They exchanged cups and cups and chatted happily.
Dugu Mou and Fang Jun had a drink, and said with a low and bitter smile: "Why are you doing this? After all, they are all brothers and sisters, and they are so tense that it will be embarrassing when we meet in the future."
This man was extremely brave, but he had a kind-hearted nature.
Fang Jun poured himself a drink and said calmly: "Brothers and sisters are true, but when they are mixed with lust for power and profit, the family ties of flesh and blood are weakened. If you don't believe me, look up and see, which one of these people has a different face?" Wearing a mask and acting hard? "(End of Chapter)
