Picture her prosperous face

The news of the marriage between the Xu family and Duke Cheng'en's mansion spread, but the entire Xu family was not happy at the moment of the happy event.

The Duke of Cheng'en's title was obtained because of the empress. It seems a little false to say, but it is also the Duke's mansion after all, and the queen also has a little prince under her knees, so it is the dream of many nobles in Beijing to be married to the Duke's mansion. .It's a pity that when it's the Xu family's turn, that's not the case at all. This is not a marriage at all, but setting his entire Xu family on fire!

Since Master Zhao San came to the door that day, and the news of the marriage between the two families spread, Xu's father had aged almost visibly with the naked eye.In just a few days, he seemed to be ten years older, and the first thing he did when he returned home every day was to drink medicine.

Today is also normal, Xu's father dragged his sick body to stay in the government office all day, and when he returned to the mansion, he felt exhausted physically and mentally.

Seeing this, Xu's mother went out to welcome Xu's father, and personally helped Xu's father back to the room.But her complexion was not very good-looking, a lot of silver threads had been added to her temples in a few days, and she also sighed: "Master, why do you do this, if you really can't hold it anymore, you can take a few days of sick leave."

Xu's father, however, lost his former vigor, and also lost the strength to reprimand Xu's mother. Hearing this, he said coldly, "Are you asking for leave now? Or sick leave? Do you think our family is living too comfortably? Or are you Do you think His Majesty doesn't know that our family is dissatisfied and harbors resentment?!"

Mother Xu didn't dare to say anything when she heard the words, and asked after a long time: "Master, about Rong'er and Sheng'er..."

Xu Changrong and Xu Changsheng are the eldest and second sons of the Xu family. They are much older than Xu Changqing, and they are both officials now.However, both of them happened to be outside the capital as officials. Originally, Xu Changrong's term of office was about to expire this year, and Xu's father had already gone to the Ministry of Officials to take care of it, and he would be able to return to Beijing at the end of the year.Then there will be father paving the way, the Yue family will help, and the future will be bright.

But now when Father Xu heard the question, he could only sigh, and said: "Squeeze it again, let the boss stay in office for another three years. That place is usually not eye-catching, and it is good to accumulate some achievements. But the second brother, there are still some It's conspicuous, so I might have to adjust it to a remote place." Speaking of which, the whole person became depressed: "While there are still people who can sell me this face."

After hearing this, Xu's mother almost burst into tears, and said with trembling lips, "Why is this, why is this?!"

Xu's father sat down, raised his hand and drank the soup and medicine brought up by the maid, and immediately put the empty bowl on the table heavily.There was no one in the left and right rooms, so he said bluntly: "Where can't it be? It's your well-raised son who dares to meddle in anything and commit any stupidity! What good do you think this marriage can do? Completely offended, and completely enmity with the Marquis of Wu'an, His Majesty is pushing us out to be a target!"

In fact, Father Xu's words were still polite.The current disturbance is fundamentally the emperor's revenge on the Xu family, who made the Xu family dare to spoil him.Leaving aside the matter of offending the two noble families, now that the news has spread, does the Xu family still have a reputation?

The concierge of the Xu family has been very busy these two days, there are people standing outside the door pointing and pointing every day, and occasionally in the middle of the night, someone throws rotten vegetables on the door of their house.The concierge was worried, and had to go out with a lamp in the middle of the night to check twice. If there was something messy, he had to take advantage of the master to clean it up early in the morning—it’s a pity that the smell of rotten eggs was too strong one day, so I still let Father Xu know up.

Thinking of this series of consequences, Xu's father was exhausted physically and mentally.It's not that he can't bear the burden, it's really disgusting His Majesty, he can't see where the future lies.The entire Xu family might be ruined just like that.

At this time, Xu's father only hated himself for not breaking Xu Changqing's leg a few months earlier, so that he would not harm the whole family!

But people just don't talk about it, just as Xu's father thought about Xu Changqing here, Xu Changqing really came over there.

He has been injured for a hundred days, and he has not recovered from his injury for less than a month, so he dragged his broken leg with a cane...Xu Changqing has lost a lot of weight, and he looks almost thinner than Ji Chang Be thin, but only a pair of eyes are shining.

Xu's father was feeling depressed, and when he saw him, he almost threw the empty medicine bowl in his hand on his head - he was angry, and more importantly, he couldn't see Xu Changqing's appearance like this.Before recovering from a broken leg, he was lying on the bed dying, but now that his marriage with the Zhao family has just been settled, he is not only in good spirits, but can also walk around on crutches.This is simply heartless and brainless.

Is Xu Changqing really stupid? Under his father's gloomy gaze, how could he not know that the other party is in a bad mood?It's just that he is still young after all, and he didn't predict the consequences of what he did, and he can still behave to his parents now: "I haven't come to say hello to my parents for a long time."

Finally, Father Xu's medicine bowl was thrown over, but it didn't land on Xu Changqing's head, only at his feet.

Even so, Xu Changqing was also taken aback, leaning on a staff and almost fell down.

Xu's mother couldn't help worrying when she saw her, and just as she was about to stand up, Xu's father gave her a cold look, so her movements froze and she sat back.Looking at his son again, he didn't know what to say for him, so he turned his face away.

Xu Changqing looked at his father and then at his mother, feeling a little dazed: "What's wrong? Parents, why do you all look so ugly?"

When Xu's father heard this, he took a deep look at Xu Changqing, only to feel that this son was stupid in reading and studying, and he was more innocent than the daughter raised in the boudoir.

But Xu Changqing's next words were sobering beyond Xu's father's expectations: "It's just a marriage, why should parents be worried? I got what I wanted, but the queen's reason for this marriage is not just to fulfill me and Shuxuan, right? Since she is willing to bother, we are still useful."

If it is still useful, it will not be discarded, at least not for now.

****************************************************************************

In just a few days, several families were in a turmoil because of this marriage contract.

The Xu family was roasted on the fire and suffered a lot.Qiao Shangshu also had no time to spare, and completely torn face with Xu's father in the court, confronting each other, causing the entire household department and Yushitai to be at odds.As for Cheng Engong's mansion, there seemed to be disputes, but the family ugliness had never been publicized, and others knew little about it.Only the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, at this moment, the news of the son's illness came out, and it seemed quiet.

Of course, this kind of silence will not last long, even if Ji Chang is willing to endure it, the emperor will not watch her alone.

But before entering the game, Ji Chang had to find some time to go to an appointment—the agreed to see you in Wenxianglou in three days. Ji Shizi is always a person who keeps promises, so naturally he will not forget, let alone because of some Insignificant people break appointments.

It's still Wenxiang Building, it's still a private room, this time Ji Chang has booked the room that Qiao Yue had last time.Then she sat in the private room, waited from early morning to noon, and finally waited for the long overdue appointment person.

Qiao Yue came a little late, but she seemed in a hurry.She was stunned for a moment when she saw Ji Chang, and then asked bluntly: "Isn't the prince sick, why did you come to the appointment?"

From what I said, it seemed that it was wrong for Ji Chang to come to the appointment.

Ji Chang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and couldn't help but think of each other's surprising words when the two first met.But this time she didn't mind.On the contrary, it was Qiao Yue, from what she said, she thought that Ji Chang would not attend the appointment due to illness, but she still came.Just this action is also pleasing to the heart, after all, during the waiting process before, Ji Chang was already prepared for Qiao Yue to refrain from the appointment.

It's always good when people come, Ji Chang raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Qiao Yue, pushed the cup to her and said, "You seem to be a bit late today."

Qiao Yue stared at Ji Chang intently, her eyes hardly moved away from her face - it's rare that it wasn't because of her beauty, but simply observing the other person's face.It's a pity that she didn't see anything in the end, because Ji Chang's face always lost a little color.

"Well, the recent engagement of Xu Changqing and Zhao Shuxuan caused a stir in Beijing. My family members are afraid that I won't be angry and will go to find trouble, so I'm a little nervous these two days." Qiao Yue answered Ji Ji casually. Chang's words, he immediately stared at her and asked a little uncertainly: "I heard that your son is sick, at this moment, could it be that you are sick from anger?"

Of course Ji Chang wasn't sick, she knew that what Qiao Yue wanted to ask was actually this: "I'm not sick, I just called it sick to save trouble."

Hearing this, Qiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again: "It's good that you're fine, and there's no need to be angry about them."

Ji Chang was a little surprised when he heard the words. After all, she herself had no feelings for Zhao Shuxuan, and was even quite defensive, so she could not take those two people seriously. How could Qiao Yue, who was a childhood sweetheart with Xu Changqing, not take him seriously? ?

Suddenly two points of interest arose in his heart, and Ji Chang said: "I'm not angry. I haven't even met Zhao Qi, and now she has no engagement with me, so I don't have to worry about her anymore. But you, face to face Are you not angry with Xu Changqing?"

Angry, how can you not be angry?No matter how much Qiao Yue looks down on Xu Changqing, she still feels ashamed!

But facing Ji Chang and meeting her clear eyes, Qiao Yue was discouraged for some reason: "Forget it, what are you doing with them? You really think you are a clown, and you will make trouble if you make a kiss." Everyone knows."

Ji Chang was also a little funny seeing her inappropriate expression, thought for a while, picked up a brocade box from the side, put it on the table, and pushed it over.

Qiao Yue looked at the brocade box, then at Ji Chang, and asked, "What is this?"

The author has something to say: Qiao Yue (expecting): What will the prince give me?I love everything!

Shizi (…): What if the box is empty?

Qiao Yue (second answer): I like the box too!
