Chapter 67 There was too much trouble last night

Jing Xi wanted to argue, but before he could say anything, Xiao Cao continued: "I also thought about letting Qiao Niang live at your place, but you are not married yet. This is really against the rules. If it really breaks the rules,

For example, aren't the family rules in chaos? So, my mother is just trying to discuss this matter with you!"

"What are we discussing?"

"It's Qiao Niang's business! What are your and Qiao Niang's plans now?"

Jing Xi originally wanted to be promoted as soon as possible, and after he had a mansion, he split up his family and married Qiao Niang, but he didn't expect Qiao Niang to be discovered by Xiao Cao now. If he proposed to marry Qiao Niang, Xiao Cao would definitely not agree.

Jing Xi then took a step back and said to Mr. Cao: "The child and Qiao Niang truly love each other. How about a mother showing the child the way!"

In this way, Jing Xi not only disobeyed Xiao Cao, but also put forward a condition - he wanted to be with Qiao Niang!

Xiao Cao sighed helplessly and said in a harmonious voice: "I can also see that you two have a deep relationship. I have also talked with your father in the past two days. Why don't you get married now? I will go and get married."

Please tell me a marriage that can accommodate Qiao Niang."

This was said lightly, but Jing Xi immediately noticed the fishiness in his words: "Qiao Niang is a concubine, and she also has a child. In such a situation, which good girl is willing to come and suffer this injustice? Can you find such a girl?

There are only three possibilities - one is to cheat and conceal the marriage, and discover the existence of Qiaoniang after the marriage, and kill her first and then reveal it; the other is to marry a woman who is only for profit, then there will be mutual torture in the future; the third is to negotiate between the parents of both parties

With all the benefits, the daughter you marry has no power at home, let alone the ability to refute. No matter which of these three paths you take, there will be endless troubles. Mother, you should think twice."

Jing Xi was unwilling to agree, and Xiao Cao was not surprised.

She can maintain the image of a loving mother and control her sons tightly. She must have her own way to be able to do this.

Jing Xi didn't want to agree, and she didn't argue with Jing Xi, but said gently: "There is a fourth way."

Seeing that Xiao Cao had given in, Jing Xi hurriedly said: "Mother, please speak!"

Xiao Cao smiled and said: "If you are really willing to stay with Qiao Niang, Qiao Niang can help you elope. In this way, it will not damage the reputation of the prime minister's house, but also keep you safe. You don't have to worry.

If you are penniless and go to Erlang to get thousands of taels of silver for your mother, he can't say anything. Then you can take the money and fly away, go to remote towns and counties to do something, and live a stable life.

.”

Xiao Cao seems to be full of plans for them, but in fact, she has already said the rules to death - either to protect the appearance of the Hou Mansion and follow the rules of the Hou Mansion; or to simply sever ties with the Hou Mansion and give up everything for a woman.

When Jing Xi made a private decision to marry Qiao Niang, he only planned to marry Qiao Niang and start a career after he became famous and left the Hou Mansion. He never thought that if he wanted to marry Qiao Niang now, he would have to give up his official career and fame.

Perhaps Xiao Cao was sure that he could not give up his official career, so he pointed out this way with a smile on his face.

Seeing Jing Xi's hesitation, Xiao Cao continued: "Actually, the arrangement for my mother is not as terrible as you thought. You should know that now you are only suspended, but next, will you go to a remote country or stay in the capital?

That is still unknown. You have lived in Beijing since you were a child. If you are really assigned to a place where birds do not lay eggs, will you be able to stay? So at this time, you most need someone who can keep you in the capital.

My lord! My mother has arranged a marriage for you. It’s Miss Chang Da from the household minister’s family. She has a gentle temperament and a good temper. She will definitely be able to accommodate Qiao Niang. When the time comes, Qiao Niang’s matter will be easy to handle. She

As a concubine, if Miss Chang likes children, it is appropriate to put the children in her house and raise them."

Jing Xi listened to Xiao Cao's words but did not respond.

Xiao Cao continued: "Of course, if you can endure the hardship and are willing to take Qiao Niang away from here, I won't stop you. I respect your choice."

Jing Xi lowered his head, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

However, while they were talking, Mother Li suddenly rushed over and said to Xiao Cao: "Madam, Princess Zhaorong is here. She said she came to see the eldest son and to take care of him."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao turned around and said to Jing Xi: "Look, so many people in the family are concerned about you. You and Qiao Niang must think carefully about it. Go and meet the princess for your mother.

Just wait here for a moment."

After saying that, Mrs. Cao followed Mrs. Li to the door. As she walked, Mrs. Cao fanned herself and said in confusion: "Didn't I pass by the Princess Mansion when I took the wind and wash the dust in the morning? How could the banquet of taking the wind and washing the dust have ended?

She just came here?"

Mother Li replied: "I don't know what's going on, I'm afraid the princess is delayed due to too many things, but now everyone is outside, so we can't let her come to visit, right?"

Isn’t that what you’re talking about?

Xu Ruyi did not attend the banquet held by Jie Feng Washing, and now she came to visit Jing Xi. The young Cao family could not say anything, so she had to go and greet Xu Ruyi.

After Xiao Cao came to the entrance of the courtyard, she saw that Xu Ruyi had brought Jing Yu there, and Jing Yu was also carrying a bunch of food.

When Xiao Cao saw this, he said in surprise: "Brother Yu is here too?"

Xu Ruyi smiled and said: "Of course he is coming. This is his brother coming back. How can he not come to visit?"

Xiao Cao knew that the relationship between the two brothers was not that harmonious. It was not easy for Jing Yu to visit Jing Xi.

Little Cao smiled and then heard Xu Ruyi continue: "Mother-in-law, we are both rude. If we had known that the eldest brother was coming back today, we wouldn't have allowed him to fool around last night..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ruyi was a little shy in her words.

Jing Yu glanced at her and couldn't believe that the girl who usually acted so brazenly in front of him all day long would show such an expression.

Even though she was pretending, she opened Jing Yu's horizons.

Moreover, it was obvious that she didn't want to remember it, and she actually used such a thing to evade it.

Since she was so rude, he simply said rudely: "Mother, this is not Ruyi's fault. I made a little too much trouble last night, which caused her to not get out of bed this morning. Otherwise, with Ruyi's temper

,How can she not come to such a banquet?"

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Cao looked at Jing Yu in disbelief.

Xu Ruyi turned around and scolded in displeasure: "What are you talking about?"

Jing Yu looked at Xu Ruyi with a pensive look on his face, very satisfied with what he had just said.

Mrs. Cao would not continue to talk about this, so she said to Xu Ruyi: "It just so happens that your elder brother is in our courtyard. If you want to chat, just chat. Our family should get together more often."

With that said, Xiao Cao brought Xu Ruyi to Jing Xi. The moment he saw Xu Ruyi, Jing Xi already noticed something strange.
