Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After the Xu couple finished the ritual sacrifice, they did not leave in a hurry like everyone else.Instead, he greeted Xu Hui sisters.

After exchanging pleasantries, the couple looked at each other, and Xu Youliang said: "Niece Xian, your aunt has something sweet to say to you. Find a place to talk, I'll greet you in the mourning hall."

"Then... Auntie please."

Immediately let Mrs. Xu Zhang into a quiet room, Xu Hui said: "Auntie, just sit down, and my niece will make tea for you."

"Don't bother." Xu Zhang laughed before saying anything, and said: "We are all a family, so you don't have to be polite. I have a few words, and I will leave after I finish."

"But I don't know what orders my aunt has?"

Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't answer directly, but clicked her tongue, and said: "My elder brother Xu really gave birth to a pair of good daughters. Look at this appearance, this figure, I am afraid that no one in Chang'an can match it. Especially the talent and learning Well, he is really a fairy-like character."

"Why is my niece so good? My aunt praised her."

"Oh, but that's it again." Xu Zhang's eye circles were a little red, and said: "Such a good child, but such a disaster has happened. You two weak girls, what will happen in the next days? Oh pass!"

"Don't worry about this, Auntie, we..."

"Okay, you don't have to hold on in front of your aunt. We are all a family, who else will I help if I don't help you? In fact, I helped you think of a good way out."

"The way out?"

"Hui'er, you are not young, it's time to get married. Auntie found you a good family. He is Wang Xianchu, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry..."

"Wang Xianchu, doctor of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Ah, no, I haven't finished yet. It's Wang Xianchu's brother-in-law Qian Wude. Although this Qian Wude is not tall and his legs are not good, he is also a bit older. However, he doesn't dislike you at all, and wants to establish you. For the main wife. You said such a good thing, where can you find it?"

Xu Hui's expression changed at that moment, and he said, "So in my aunt's eyes, I'm only worthy of marrying a lame old bachelor?"

"Oh, you can't say that. Niece Xian, you have to know that today is different from the past. With your current status..."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhang's face was serious, and he said: "It's not bad to marry an old bachelor who is missing a leg. Who else do you want to marry? Let me tell you, if it weren't for your uncle and Mr. Wang, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry , such a good thing is not your turn!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid uncle is thinking of using his niece to curry favor with Mr. Wang in exchange for his rich future?"

"How do you talk? How do you talk?"

Xu Zhang's voice became louder, and said: "Your father participated in the treason case, and our family is not enough? After finally getting connected with Mr. Wang, can't you forgive your sins for your damn father? Let me tell you , this Wang Langzhong is not an ordinary person, he is a celebrity in front of King Qi!"

Xu Hui said disdainfully: "Mr. Wang is busy with the doctor. Auntie, let me tell you clearly. I am already engaged. My husband is not only much better than some lame old bachelor, but Mr. Wang himself. You don't even deserve to lift your shoes!"

"Who is your husband?"

Xu Wan suddenly took the lead and said, "I know, I know! It's King Qin Guoye, he will protect our sisters."

Chapter 2045 The Arrival of King Qin

"King Qin Guoye? Ah~haha!"

Xu Zhang's expression changed at first, and then he leaned forward and back together with a smile, and said: "You mean Qin Wang Guoye? Little lady, who are you listening to such nonsense? Impossible, absolutely impossible. She is coaxing you to play! "

"But... my sister told me this, and my sister will not lie to me." Xu Wan said unconvinced.

Xu Hui nodded, and said: "So that Auntie can know that my niece's husband is indeed King Guo Ye of Qin. Although I'm only a concubine of No.11 Fang, it's a pretty good home."

Mrs. Xu and Zhang said contemptuously: "My niece Xian, what kind of hysteria do you have? If it turns out that you were the most talented woman in Chang'an, it was still possible. But now, can people think of you?"

She eased her tone slightly, and continued: "Niece Xian, stop daydreaming. It seems that you don't know enough about your current identity. Even if you are willing to be a concubine, anyone with a little identity No one will let you get started."

"why?"

"Because your father and brother have been involved in a major treason case! Anyone who marries you will have to worry about losing their money. But whoever has a little wealth, who would take such a big risk for a woman? Only those who are unrelated Those who hang up don't care about your life experience."

Xu Hui shook his head, and said: "That's not the case. This matter is a great disaster to others. If it doesn't come to King Qin, it will be nothing."

"How is that possible? The more important you are, the more you cherish the feathers. Besides, niece Xian, don't forget that you fell into His Majesty's eyes at the Furong Garden Literature Fair. Could it be that the King of Qin would take the risk of offending His Majesty to accept it?" about you?"

Xu Hui's face immediately changed color, these words really hit her sore spot!Yes, Guo Ye once said in front of Cui Renshi that His Majesty Li Er had given himself to him.But who knows if this statement is true or false?

What if the king of Qin made it up casually in order to fool Cui Renshi?

In addition, Guo Ye has not yet appeared, so she has no idea.

She had no choice but to insist: "Auntie is well informed! However, you only know one thing, not the other. In fact, my niece and I are already engaged to King Qin. If you don't believe me, look..."

As she spoke, she took out the jade pendant Guo Ye had given her from her sleeve pocket.At this time, she also ignored Guo Ye's advice, and said: "This is a token of love from King Qin Qiansui, and his name is written on it."

Mrs. Xu Zhang took it over and looked at it carefully, and said: "This jade pendant is a good thing...but..."

She suddenly changed her countenance and said: "Did you take advantage of the King of Qin? My silly niece, you are so stupid!"

"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about? I have a clean relationship with King Qin now."

"I'm talking nonsense? If you hadn't been taken advantage of by him, how could he have given you such a good jade pendant?"

"Didn't I say a token of love just now?"

"A token of love? Bah! I'm bah! You can coax the ghosts. If this is really a token of love. As long as King Qin has a conscience, he shouldn't allow you and your sisters to support this funeral alone. Even if he himself If you don’t come, it’s not too much to send some men over, right?”

Mrs. Xu Zhang curled her mouth, and continued: "I have seen this kind of thing a lot. The infatuated woman is a heartbreaker, but it is nothing more than that. You think it is a token of love, and the man thinks it is a gift to spend the night." ! You have been cheated!"

"That's right! You're not innocent anymore, and you don't know if he wants to be with you again. This is going to be troublesome! If Wang Langzhong gets angry, wouldn't our family's Youliang promotion be a mess? Why are you so confused!" She was pacing up and down the room anxiously while talking.

Xu Wan argued: "Sister is not stupid! Brother-in-law will definitely come today."

"Come on, come on, come on! You little bitch~ what nonsense are you talking about... Hey, there is it!"

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "You are not innocent anymore, Wan'er is innocent. Even though she is a little younger, it is still better than nothing. How about this, you sisters clean up and come with me tonight!"

Xu Huizhi was trembling with anger, and said, "Mrs. Xu Zhang, I respect you and call you aunt. If you don't respect you, what are you? My father's body is not cold, and you act like this. What kind of elder are you? You are not as good as a beast!"

"Hey, my little lady has a big temper! But this temper can't be eaten."

Mrs. Xu and Zhang snorted coldly, and said: "Let's be clear, it's not that old bachelor who wants you, he's just a cover. In fact, it's Wang Langzhong, and it may even be King Qi! With your thin arms, you can still Can you twist your thigh?"

"At the foot of the emperor, the most benevolent place, is it possible that he still dares to rob people's daughters?"

"I said, why are you so stubborn? In your situation, what good home can you have? After you marry, although you have a bad reputation, how can you spend less on food and clothing? What are you dissatisfied with?"

Xu Hui said: "Don't say too much. You dare to say these words, but I dare not listen. I'm afraid it will pollute my ears!"

"You... have turned against you!" Xu Zhang said with a sneer, "If you obey, you must obey, and if you don't, you must obey! Follow your father at home, and obey your husband when you get married. Now that your father is dead, my family will be virtuous. Be the master. When the funeral is over, I will tie you up and send you there."

"You have a good idea! Both your family and ours are about to release five clothes, so why should you decide for me?"

"Why? It's power! I want to see, who will stand up for the imperial court? Who will provoke His Royal Highness King Qi for this matter?"
