After Yan Hui left, Ban Huai said to Rong Xia with a stiff smile, "Thank you, Uncle Rong."
Although he doesn't like to use his brain, he is not so stupid that he can't see that Rong Xia is here to save him. He quickly looked around and whispered to Rong Xia, "I'm thinking about my daughter."
He didn't react at first, but after seeing Yan Hui insisting on talking to him alone, he understood.
But what's the use of telling him about this kind of thing? It's not his decision.
When it came to private matters at home, he was too embarrassed to mention it to Rong Xia. He just shook his head at Rong Xia inexplicably, saying that his daughter was very precious, even if the more powerful left prime minister of the day came to propose marriage for his son. , and he remained unmoved.
At this moment, Ban Huai felt that his image was like that of an upright and upright man in the storybook, who was determined not to give up for five buckets of rice.
My wife has already mentioned to him that Yan Hui’s wife is an elder who is not easy to get along with. What should I do if my daughter is rejected by this mother-in-law after she marries her?
When the time comes that his daughter will suffer a loss, no matter how ridiculous he is, he can't bring people to beat his daughter's mother-in-law. If such a thing really happens, even the emperor will not help him.
Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat, and if you have a mother-in-law who is difficult to get along with, a good girl will suffer a lot. Just the word filial piety can make people breathless. After his daughter-in-law married into the Ban family, he was reluctant to let her suffer such hardships, so how could he be willing to let his daughter marry into the Yan family and suffer such grievances.
Seeing that Ban Huai was obviously unwilling to agree to the marriage, Rong Xia said: "Uncle, I think you should talk to the left minister after you go to court, at least make the matter clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding."
"You are right," Ban Huai nodded, "The sooner I make it clear, the sooner their family will give up."
If your family wants to marry, others must marry you, which is a beautiful thought.
Rong Xia smiled, turned around and walked to his seat to stand. He even had free time to exchange greetings with other courtiers. He was really personable and impeccable.
After the emperor came, the court meeting went smoothly. Only when the last censor mentioned Xie Chongjin's dereliction of duty, the smell of gunpowder among the court officials arose again.
"Your Majesty, I think that although Mr. Xie is suspected of ineffective supervision, the crime is not that serious. Please think again, Your Majesty."
This official belongs to the second prince. He is speaking for Xie Chongjin now to help the future second prince's concubine and enhance the rights of the second prince's wife's family.
"Your Majesty, if all the officials in our dynasty are indifferent to what their subordinates do, how can they care about the people?" A censor said sharply, "When an official does not make decisions for the people, It’s better to go home and honor your mother.”
The censor's language style is a bit bohemian.
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yunqing was so noisy by the courtiers that his brain ached for a while. He said impatiently: "Xie Chongjin did not supervise well and indulged his subordinates to indulge the common people. This is an unforgivable crime. However, I thought that he was not involved in it and suffered the consequences." It is understandable that people should be deceived. Starting today, he will be removed from his position and allowed to go home to recuperate without any other punishment."
Are you trying to beat Xie Chongjin to the end?
Uncle Zhongping only had two sons. The eldest son was dismissed from his post, and the second son broke his eye and was unable to serve as an official in the court. The next generation of the Xie family was considered a failure.
"Your Majesty," Uncle Zhongping knelt on the ground dejectedly and saluted Emperor Yunqing, "Your Majesty, the dog has been wronged. Please give him a lighter sentence."
"Xie Qing, I have already spared him the crime lightly," Emperor Yun Qing waved his hands impatiently, "You don't have to say it anymore, if you were not my in-law, Xie Dalang should have been sent to the frontier for five years for his crime. No recall allowed."
Bo Zhongping's face instantly turned pale, and after a long while he kowtowed to Emperor Yunqing: "Wei Chen... thank you for your grace."
Your Majesty is not giving him any face. I don’t know how much injustice my daughter will suffer when she marries into the second prince’s house.
A courtier of a great cause does not have to kneel down unless it is a major event. Uncle Zhongping now kneeled down to Emperor Yunqing in front of the whole court. It was a helpless move, but obviously he did not have enough face, and the emperor did not do it. Reduce the punishment for Xie Chongjin.
After the end of the court, Uncle Zhongping walked straight towards Ban Huai. His face was flushed and he said with hatred: "Ban Huai, you have gone too far to bully others today. The Xie family will remember your gift."
The courtiers who had not yet gone far couldn't help but slow down when they saw the excitement. They looked at the two of them from the corner of their eyes and looked at the joke in a more reserved manner.
"It's really ridiculous. What does your eldest son's conviction have to do with this prince?" Ban Huai saw Uncle Zhong Ping's appearance and was not afraid of getting angry. "I was not the one who investigated the case, and it was not me who impeached him, but you You just get angry at me, isn't it because you see that I have no real power and am easy to bully?"
When the courtiers heard this, they almost laughed out loud. They could say such words, and these princes really didn't want to lose face.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhongping didn’t expect Ban Huai to say such words. His face turned red from suppressing his emotions: “Ban Huai, don’t use forceful words!”
"From the morning to now, I haven't said a word, but you come to trouble me. Are you bullying the weak or afraid of the strong or something?" Ban Huai flicked the non-existent ash on his body, "The censor just said that Well, what’s the use of being an official if you don’t make decisions for the people? Is it true that your elder man has done nothing wrong?”
Ban Huai raised his chin and said, "Don't think that because your family is getting married to the royal family, you don't take the people seriously. You must know that His Majesty is a wise king who is rare to see in a thousand years. How could you indulge him because of this relationship? You guys are messing around, you Xie family are wrong, you are totally wrong!"
After saying these impassioned words, Ban Huai flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall with his head held high.
The censor who had criticized Xie Chongjin just now felt a little complicated when he saw that he was taken out alone by Ban Huai and praised him. Although he is happy to be praised and approved by others, the person who approves of him is a famous dandy in the court. This is really...
However, this Marquis Jingting actually has a very good sense of right and wrong.
"Sister," Ban Heng pointed ahead on the busy street, "do you think those are father and Prime Minister Yan? What are they doing in the teahouse?"
Suddenly his expression changed, and he turned to Banhua and said, "Isn't it true that father was discussing your marriage with Yan Zhen with Mr. Yan?"
How could a nerd like Yan Zhen be worthy of his sister? I originally went out today to accompany his sister to go shopping, but I didn't expect to encounter this.
"Come on, let's follow and listen."
Ban Heng couldn't help but worry. Yan Hui must be very smart to be able to serve as left prime minister. What if he confuses his father with all his talk and really agrees to marry his sister to the Yan family? what to do?
"What's so nice to hear?" Banhua wasn't nervous at all, "Father won't let me marry into the Yan family."
"I know he is reluctant to let go, but Prime Minister Yan is good at strategy. What I am worried about is that my father will fall into his scheme." Ban Heng has deep doubts about his father's intelligence, but as a son of a man, he said this Unable to say, "Sister, come with me quickly."
So the Ban family guards who were guarding the door of the tea house could only watch helplessly as their prince princess sneaked into the tea house and pretended not to see anything.
Ban Heng asked the waiter to take the siblings to the next cubicle and began eavesdropping on this important matter.
Banhua felt that Ban Heng's behavior was a bit boring, but as a good sister who doted on her younger brother, she could only indulge his mischief, and followed Ban Heng's example and put her ear to the screen.
Yan Hui and Ban Huai didn't know that there were two juniors eavesdropping nearby. After the two talked about the situation, they started to get down to business.
"Master Hou, Quanzi and Ling Qianjin..."
"Prime Minister, Dog Girl is a young girl who has not yet left the court, and I'm afraid she has nothing to do with Mr. Ling." Ban Huai took a sip of tea and shook his head. "The Prime Minister doesn't know something. Dog Girl is spoiled by her mother." , I really don’t deserve to be the wife of the Yan family, and I ask the Prime Minister not to mention this matter again.”
"Does the Marquis think that Quanzi can't take good care of his daughter?" When Yan Hui heard this, he couldn't accept it for a while. Thinking of the young son's lost look, he could only say shamelessly, "Yan can guarantee that as long as The Marquis is willing to let Ling Qianjin marry into my family, and everyone in my family will never neglect Ling Qianjin."
"This is not a matter of neglect or not," Ban Huai sighed in embarrassment, "Mr. Prime Minister, marriage is about your own free will. Since the dog girl has no chance to meet the son, there is no need to force it."
Yan Hui did not expect that Ban Huai refused so rudely, without even leaving any room. This was tantamount to telling him bluntly that my daughter did not like your son, so my daughter will not marry your son, hahaha .
If other people talked to him like this, he might not be able to swallow his breath, but the person who said this happened to be Ban Huai, a famous absurdist in the capital.
In fact, Yan Hui felt that it was very absurd for his youngest son not to marry Princess Fule.
We couldn't continue chatting for the day. Yan Hui couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore. He stood up and said to Ban Huai: "In this case, Yan takes leave."
Why would such a ridiculous person give birth to such a beautiful daughter? Isn't this a good man who is causing harm to the capital?
"Slow down." Ban Huai stood up and returned a salute to Yan Hui with a playful smile, as if he didn't notice that Yan Hui was already unhappy.
After Yan Hui left, Ban Huai hummed a tune softly and drank most of the tea in the cup in one sip.
These literati are so particular that they drink tea from a cup the size of their thumb. They can't even drown an ant. I really don't know what the use is.
"Father." The door was opened from the outside, and Ban Heng and Ban Hua squeezed in and sat across from him.
"Why are you two here?" Ban Huai put down the teacup, held the teapot to his mouth and took a few sips. The meatloaf he had eaten in the morning was too dry, and he had long wanted to drink water.
"I happened to see you and Prime Minister Yan coming here just now, so my sister and I followed." Ban Heng moved the small teacup in front of him aside, "My sister and I both heard what you said about rejecting Prime Minister Yan just now. Yes, you are this one."
Ban Heng gave Ban Huai a thumbs up.
"Humph." Ban Huai straightened his back proudly, turned to Ban Hua and said, "Don't worry, good girl, my father will not force you to marry any man you don't want to marry."
Ban Hua smiled sweetly at Ban Huai.
She knew that her father and mother would not let her marry anyone casually.
Because he was rejected so thoroughly by Ban Huai, Yan Hui inevitably looked a little ugly when he walked out of the teahouse. He was about to get into the sedan when he saw Rong Xia coming on horseback, so he stood up straight and waited for him to come.
"Master Yan," Rong Xia jumped off the horse and saluted Yan Hui, "You have something to discuss with Lord Ban, why..."
"It's not enough to say nothing," Yan Hui said in a bad tone, "There's nothing to talk about."
Rong Xia stood beside him with a smile when he heard this and did not answer Yan Hui's words.
Yan Hui also realized that he shouldn't show his face to irrelevant people, so he bowed his hands to Rong Xia and bent down to sit in the sedan.
"Prime Minister Yan, go slowly." Rong Xia took a step back and bowed respectfully to the sedan.
Yan Hui sat in the sedan, lifted the curtain and glanced at Rong Xian, who was respectful, and his mood suddenly became much smoother. It would be better for this capital to have more talents like Uncle Rong.
As for Ban Huai, a dandy...
Hmph!
When Du Jiu saw his uncle getting on the horse and preparing to leave, he whispered: "Uncle, aren't you going to drink tea?"
"No need to drink, go back home."
Rong Xia looked up at the second floor of the teahouse, pulled the reins, and the horse turned around and walked towards the uncle's house.
