As we all know, the Cheng family has a son and a daughter. When the son was young, he fought with his father against the barbarians and suffered a brain injury. Now that he is almost thirty, he has not yet found a satisfactory daughter-in-law.
There is no way, the noble family is unwilling, and the common people will not come.
The Xiao family is notoriously poor.
So if Xiao Xiruo offered marriage to the Cheng family, who else could she give it to except this fool?
"I won't marry, dad, and I don't even want to die!"
Before Yonglin Hou and his wife could snatch it away, He Qingdai had already raised her hand and threw the bag out.
impossible!
How could she marry a fool!
She is the concubine of the Hou Mansion!
However, as soon as the Bazi was thrown out, it was caught by the long-awaited Xue Xue. What followed was a "bold" sound from Bai Zhi, and the left and right restraints of Wan Xue and Qing Xue.
There was no need for Xiao Xiruo to speak, Bai Zhi had already slapped He Qingdai on the face.
"Miss He, it's your turn to decide whether you want the marriage or not?"
There was a "pop" sound, and the dignitaries who had been paying attention here all changed their colors.
As soon as Marquis Yonglin and his wife stepped forward, they were forced back by the other two palace ladies with snow characters.
Shiliuxue is a cavalry secret guard who can accompany his master on the battlefield. Even if he is just here, he is enough to intimidate most of the showy dignitaries.
Ever since, He Qingdai, who had been arrogant just now, started to cry.
Bai Zhi was so cruel that He Qingdai's face was swollen with just one slap.
"My dear concubine, what are you doing? How can this marriage be a child's play? You can't mess with the marriage rules, can you?"
Marquis Yonglin had a pale face and his tone was indescribably angry.
He originally thought that Xiao Xiruo blocked him just on a whim and wanted to show off his quick words, but now it seemed that the other party was clearly prepared.
"Misfits?"
Xiao Xiruo lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"The Marquis and Mr. Cheng are both third-rank ministers, and they both serve in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Miss He is the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and Master Cheng is also the legitimate son of the mansion. They even went to the battlefield to fight against the Northern Yi. They are like the heroes of my country, Dayan.
.What? The anti-barbarian hero who serves the country and the people is no longer worthy of an official lady?"
Xiao Xiruo said this very calmly, without questioning or exaggerating.
Because she thinks so from the bottom of her heart.
The Xiao family is full of loyalty and heroes, and there are countless people like the Cheng family who are neither greedy nor evil and devoted to the country.
But what about them?
They lived a frugal life and lived in poverty, and they didn't even have enough money to buy a wife for their son at a high price...
On the other hand, people like Yonglin Marquis, who stepped on the Xiao family to ascend to power, encouraged the control of military power, left the Xiao family's cavalry without food and clothing, and were randomly ordered by the imperial envoys many times, actually gained countless money, fame and fortune.
And these are used to buy jewelry for his wife and daughter, to buy gorgeous clothes for his son and concubines, and to give him and his supporters the power and money to make a future...
Which one is not stained with the blood of Beiliang soldiers?
And not only did the Yonglin Marquis Mansion not have any sense of shame, they were all proud of it, and acted like they would do whatever it takes to hurt you in front of her.
What can I do?
It's nothing more than killing you like chickens and showing them to a group of monkeys in the court.
"The anti-foreign hero is certainly respectable, but Mr. Cheng is stupid..."
Marquis Yonglin gritted his teeth and finally said these words.
As soon as He Qingdai heard her father speak for herself, He Qingdai cried even louder.
She doesn't want to marry a fool, she doesn't want to join the extremely poor Xiao family, she...
Another hard slap made He Qingdai feel a ringing in her ears. She could only see her mother rushing toward her desperately, but she couldn't break through the defense line.
"So what if he is stupid? Can being stupid erase his contribution to Dayan?"
He once again ordered someone to stuff the birth date into He Qingdai's purse, and Xiao Xiruo smiled with a smile on her face.
"I have made up my mind, and this matter is settled. It just so happens that so many people are here today, so let's serve as a witness to both families."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yonglin's eyes turned red, and he almost immediately looked at his supporters and the high-ranking officials who had agreed with his idea.
He wanted these people to say a few words to him.
Yes, if Xiao Xi is a noble concubine, but now even the emperor is a puppet, what does she mean by a noble concubine?
As long as most dignitaries stand up to support him, this so-called marriage grant is nothing at all!
However, his supporters dispersed consciously, because they were just a group of empty officials with no real power, and they did not dare to openly offend the Xiao family.
What can they do if even Mr. He can't do anything?
Seeing this, Marquis Yonglin could only grit his teeth and completely turn his attention to several major forces.
But before he could speak, Xiao Xiruo raised the small silver fan in his hand and caught Wang Meng of the Wang family whose ribs had been broken by snowfall.
"Master Wang Meng, do you think what I did was wrong?"
Being called out unexpectedly, Wang Meng almost immediately looked at his father. Then he saw his father blinking quickly, telling him to be more honest.
Their money was not blown by the strong wind, and there is nothing they can do to lose it!
"No, no, how could it be..."
Wang Meng sneered, not saying that Xiao Xiruo was right or that Xiao Xiruo was wrong.
Before Xiao Xiruo's eyes could shift, Feng Qi, who had been questioned by him in various ways, raised his hand and summoned all the Xie family and Li family members away.
Although his lineage was once the driving force behind the plan to check and balance the Xiao family, he is about to marry into the Yan family. With the relationship between Mr. Yan and Xiao Xiruo, there is nothing he can do to fall out with Xiao Xiruo at this time.
What's more, Xiao Xiruo also has Feng Yehan and the Xiao family behind him.
For the sake of Marquis Yonglin, who was wandering among many forces, they couldn't do it.
Marquis Yonglin felt a chill in his heart, and almost subconsciously began to look for people of the eldest princess's lineage in the crowd, but those people didn't even look at him.
Because this lineage has always been the most low-key, they only superficially supported the Xiao family's affairs, but did not actually intervene.
what to do?
What should he do?
After his daughter, Xiao Xiruo actually extended his evil claws to his son. He was chatting with Cheng Chao about the shortage of junior officials in the Beiliang army. She thought that their junior hero was very good.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Just when Yong Linhou and his family were about to despair, a voice came from behind the crowd, opening a way for them to survive.
"The marriage of a man and a woman is a big deal between two families. How can the imperial concubine and the queen be so powerful that they do not care about the wishes of the daughter's family? Tsk tsk, I can't bear to stand such tyranny."
The crowd parted, and Feng Hua, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, keeping his Prince Gong airs firmly in place.
This look of wanting to uphold justice for the weak immediately made the eyes of Marquis Yonglin and his entourage brighten.
Not only them, there were also cheers from the factions of Prince Gong's palace and onlookers.
In just a moment, Feng Hua felt that he had succeeded.
Then he saw Xiao Xiruo patting Xue Xue and said seriously:
"His brain is so weak that he doesn't know how to close his eyes when he can't stand it. Come on, go help him and be sure to cover his eyes tightly."
Feng Hua: "?"
What the hell are you?
Is this the point? This chapter has been completed!
