Fang Jun was speechless, this was still a seed of infatuation...
However, he still understands the truth and knows that it is absolutely impossible to cancel the marriage with Fan Yang Lu. The young Mu Ai can't help himself when he meets the girl he falls in love with, but in the end he has to look at each other with tears. It's really hard in this era It's commonplace.
According to the words of parents and matchmakers, marriage matters cannot be decided by oneself at any time, let alone the children of aristocratic families like the Fang family?
A marriage often represents the fusion of interests of two families. How can it be reversed just because of one person's likes and dislikes?
There are too many situations where two people are in love but cannot hold hands and grow old together.
Fang Yizhi took a sip of wine, tapped Fang Yize with his chopsticks, and preached: "You are just too arrogant. You know that you are already engaged, how can you provoke other women? The Master said: Don't look at anything inappropriate. Don't listen to anything that's inappropriate, don't say anything that's inappropriate, don't do anything that's inappropriate. Yan Yuan said, "Although I'm not quick to respond, I can still speak politely when asking for something. Don't you even understand this truth? Since you belong to someone, you can't even look at or touch the woman next to you." It's wrong and unforgivable. I'll let your second brother take you to your door later to apologize. You can be beaten and scolded as you please, but don't be resentful, you know?"
Fang Yi drooped his head and took another sip of wine.
Fang Jun picked up the wine flask and filled it for his brother. He picked up the wine glass and thought about it, then sighed: "It's too difficult."
Fang Yi asked curiously: "It's just an apology, what's the difficulty? The third child has already been engaged and will get married in a few days. Even if the Zhang family is still dissatisfied, is it possible that the third child can still be asked to pay for it with his life?" That’s not possible. Although our family has made mistakes in the first place, it is not this serious!”
Fang Jun took a sip of wine and said: "Brother, I misunderstood. When I said it was too difficult, I didn't mean this. The so-called slap can't make a difference. Of course the third child is at fault, but doesn't his daughter have no responsibility? I can bring the third child to the door." Apologizing is enough to save face. If his family still refuses to forgive, then he is being ungrateful. Not to mention beating him to death, even if he touches the third child, I will never finish with them!"
Fang Yi was so moved that he was his real brother! Throughout the whole day, his parents, brother and sister-in-law took turns to teach him, but only the second brother made the decision for him as soon as he came back.
He raised his glass and said with tears in his eyes: "I didn't say anything, second brother, I'd like to give you a drink!"
Fang Yi said angrily: "Hey! It's about a woman's reputation, but you guys don't take it seriously? It's simply morally corrupt!"
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously. He drank a drink with Lao San with a smile, put down the cup and said, "Brother is right. It's a matter of women's reputation. It's indeed a bit unfair if we just give a gift and apologize and just let it go." Be particular about it. But Zhang Dun is Taichang Shaoqing, and his family is the Jiangdong Zhang family. They have a profound background and come from an aristocratic family. It is not easy to marry their daughter as a concubine, so I say it is too difficult."
Fang Yi was dumbfounded: "You, you, you, instead of letting him apologize, you actually helped the tyrants to do evil and asked Zhang Dun's daughter to be his concubine?"
Fang Yize was also confused, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "This, this, this, second brother, can this be done?"
Fang Jun took a sip of eloquence, drank a sip of wine, looked at the expressions of the two brothers, and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong? As far as I know, Zhang Dun only has one legitimate daughter, and she is already married. The one you are interested in She's probably just a concubine, right?"
Fang Yi's eyes brightened, he rubbed his hands and said, "It's true, she is the daughter of my concubine."
Fang Jun slapped the table: "It's much easier then. She's just a concubine, and she can't get on the stage. The Zhang family is a wealthy family in Jiangdong, so they probably won't care too much about such a concubine. She's just a profit, as long as there are enough benefits. , even if Zhang Dun refuses, Jiangdong Zhang cannot refuse."
"Second brother!"
Fang Yi shouted, he was so happy that he almost shed tears.
He originally thought that since he was about to get married to Fan Yanglu, his love at first sight would be aborted and end in tragedy. From now on, he would stare at it from a distance and cherish this beauty and pain for the rest of his life. Hidden in my heart.
Unexpectedly, the second brother actually said that he could take her back as a concubine...
The biggest surprise in the world is this.
Fang Yizhi glared angrily and reprimanded: "That's nonsense! The reputation of the third villain is already inappropriate. Instead of letting him learn a lesson, you only help him to do evil. Isn't it your duty as an elder brother?"
Fang Jun then added some wine to Fang Yizhi and explained, "Brother, don't be upset, this is a last resort. Do you think the Zhang family will just let it go if we simply come to apologize?"
Fang Yi blew his beard and glared: "Since we have done something wrong, we must show our sincerity. As the saying goes, sincerity can make a difference, and the Zhang family will forgive us sooner or later."
Fang Jun was speechless.
This big brother must be stupid from reading...
"The Fan Yanglu family is a wealthy family, and it is my mother's natal family, so this marriage cannot be canceled. But eldest brother, the third child and we are all brothers. How can we now see him trapped by love and regret and complain for the rest of his life? Since there is still a chance, as the elder brother, I should do my best to plan for it."
Having said that, of course that was not what he was thinking...
Fang Yi opened his mouth and looked at the eyes of the third child next to him that had regained their vitality. Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
Why would he want to see his third brother unhappy for the rest of his life?
"Brother Wei knows that you are very capable and have many methods, but you can only let nature take its course in this matter, and never take advantage of your power to bully others."
This is considered a promise.
Fang Jun said hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry. Besides, the Zhang family in Jiangdong is a wealthy family with a long history, and they can't be bullied just because they want to."
Fang Yi was deeply moved when he saw that his two brothers actually wanted to marry Zhang's daughter as a concubine for the sake of his own happiness.
Naturally, he replenished the two brothers' drinks obediently, and he said nice things but didn't pay the money. For a while, the brothers were harmonious and deeply affectionate.
*****
One morning, before dawn, Fang Jun got up and dressed neatly, had a simple breakfast, and then took a carriage to Tai Chi Palace to attend the court meeting.
The first day of the twelfth lunar month is the last court meeting in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.
Sitting in the carriage, Fang Jun raised the curtains and looked at the firelight reflected from the snow covering the walls of the houses along the street in the dark night outside, feeling as if he was in another world.
It’s really a world apart...
It was also such a snowy winter day. He had just arrived in time travel. In just a few years, he had risen from an ignorant "stick boy" to one of the few important ministers of the Tang Empire, with great achievements and great reputation. .
What's more, he can make full use of what he has learned in his previous life and use this country to paint, trying to compose a beautiful picture that has never appeared in history.
Can the ever-flowing river of history be changed in our own hands?
Thinking about it makes me a little excited...
When the carriage arrived outside Chengtian Gate, dozens of guards and chamberlains were already clearing away the snow with tools. The snow that fell overnight had been cleared away quickly, but the heavy snow was still falling. In a short time, the square in front of the gate was covered again, and then it had to be reversed. Go over and scan it again.
Lanterns were hung on the high city walls, and the light shone dimly under the Chengtian Gate.
The ministers of the previous dynasty all rode in horse-drawn carriages. No one, no matter the civil servants or generals, rode horses in such weather, and densely packed horse-drawn carriages crowded the sky streets.
At the beginning of Mao hour, the palace gate opened wide, and the ministers got off their carriages one after another, lined up in the heavy snow, and entered the palace through Chengtian Gate.
When he entered the bright and majestic Tai Chi Hall, a warm current instantly enveloped his body, and the coldness disappeared.
Taiji Hall is not paved with earth dragons. After all, once such a large-scale building hollows out the ground and lays earth dragons, it will easily cause the foundation to sink. But on the outer two sides of the main hall, separated by more than ten feet, there was a charcoal pot. The charcoal fire was blazing and the warmth was warm.
Under normal circumstances, since the entire building is made of wood and is most afraid of fire, open fires are absolutely not allowed in autumn and winter. It is too cold today. It is obvious that His Majesty Li Er is worried that the ministers, especially some old ministers, cannot stand up. , your grace is hereby given.
After a while, His Majesty Li Er, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the throne majestically, and the court meeting began.
Since it was the last court meeting of the year, there were many chores that needed to be dealt with. Officials from each of the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples were on duty, and all kinds of government affairs were complicated and cumbersome. It was not until the sky was bright outside that it came to an end.
His Majesty Li Er was sitting on the throne, looking at the Gong Gong princes in the palace, and said: "My dear friends, do you have any other affairs? If you have something to do, please leave the court. If there is nothing, you will leave the court."
At this time, a censor came out and loudly said: "The humble minister impeached the King of Jin, neglected his duties, delayed the military aircraft, and caused unrest in the country and turmoil in the imperial capital!"
