Chapter 1270 Sincerity
Although he was the prince, Hongli and Hongzhou lived in the palace. For the sake of the palace, the banquet for the crowd dispersed before sunset.
He sent everyone to the door and watched everyone go away. Hang Seng sent his predecessors to Tianyou about the rumors about "Fucha's family's visit".
Tianyou's face also became very ugly.
Since there is a gossip about the two families getting married, no one will think that the Cao family will reject the noble family of the Fucha family. If they fail to get married, they will probably think that the Fucha family did not "like" Tianhui.
After all, it is not a private matter for Tianhui to have illnesses. Although Tianhui's eyes gradually recovered after diagnosis and treatment, but it was just a little too short of eyesight, others would not think so.
Those who are catching the wind and shadow may even place Tianhui as "blind" and think that Tianhui is "disliked".
Even if Tianhui gets married later and goes to others, and proves that she is not "blind", she will be regarded as the only one chosen by the Fucha family.
"It's not a trivial matter to be related to my sister's reputation. Humph, I don't know what the prince is thinking about, but he actually did such a thing that harms others and is not good for himself. I will go back and tell my father that he always needs to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the eldest sister will be implicated in the future," Tianyou said.
The two brothers discussed it, and Tianyou returned to Cao's mansion first.
Cao Yong was well-informed after all, and he had already learned about this first. He was full of anger and was thinking about countermeasures in the study.
Although they gave birth to three children, because Tianhui suffered when she was young, the couple loved Tianhui the most.
I haven't talked about my relatives for a long time, because I am afraid that my daughter will suffer in the future. The candidates that their husband and wife like are still children from the royal family with a simple population and a low title.
The population is simple, so you don’t have to suffer as a wife; if you don’t have a high title, you have to rely more on the support of the Cao family and you won’t treat Tianhui badly. Also, because it is the son of the royal family, even if you don’t have a great future in your career, you won’t be very dangerous.
Listening to Tianyou's words, he knew that the rumors of his daughter being "seemed" had spread. Cao Yong frowned and said, "It seems that Tianhui's marriage is really not easy to delay. Even if she is not determined now, she cannot keep her locked up in the mansion. Starting tomorrow, if your mother has any social engagements, she will take Tianhui with her."
Tianyou was resentful: "Father, where is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? You can't let them go to the door to ask for an explanation."
Cao Yong sighed and said, "Although I don't know why he said this, I came to the door directly and made another noise at this time, which still caused Tianhui's reputation. Tomorrow, Prince Xunzhuang will be his middle-aged man, and I will directly ask the Duke to come out and speak."
Although Tianyou was unwilling to accept it, he knew that the Cao family was not supposed to say anything about it. Otherwise, it would be more obvious to others, and instead he would make the rumors a reality.
The father and son were talking, and a servant reported outside the door that a guest had arrived and handed over a greeting letter to Cao Yong.
Cao Yong looked at the dim sky outside the sky and saw it in his heart.
Since I have handed the letter to you according to the rules, I obviously don’t know each other; but if I’m not familiar with you, I will come to my door at this time?
It's really surprising.
After asking the servant to bring a box, Cao Yong couldn't help but widen his eyes after reading the greetings.
Li Rongbao is here.
Although I don’t know the purpose of the trip, I can imagine that it is mostly for the rumor of “looking at each other”.
As Li Rongbao, he came to the door in person. Even though Cao Yong was upset, he couldn't neglect it. He took Tianyou out of the study and went to the living room to meet the guests.
In addition to Li Rongbao, there is also a young man in the living room.
This was not the first time Cao Yong met Li Rongbao. As early as the Kangxi Dynasty, the two met during social engagements in Beijing. But when they saw Li Rongbao, Cao Yong couldn't help but take a breath.
Li Rongbao's face was sallow and sick. He was sitting there, but when he saw Cao Yong coming in and getting up, he was still unable to stand firm.
It was the young man next to him who stepped forward to support him, which made Li Rongbao stop.
Tianyou, who was following Cao Yong, had already recognized that the young man was not someone else, but Fu Qing, who had just left the Khan's mansion for a while.
When he left the Khan's mansion, Fu Qing looked drunk, but now he was not as interested in drinking, but he just looked at Li Rongbao with concern.
"Mr. Cao, I'm here to apologize." Seeing Cao Yong approaching, Li Rongbao bowed tremblingly.
As he spoke, he was already panting and his face was flushed.
Cao Yong hurriedly avoided and said, "Mr. Li, please take your seat first."
Fu Qing stood behind Li Rongbao, bowed to Cao Yong with gratitude, and helped Li Rongbao sit down.
Cao Yong sat in the main seat and asked someone to have tea.
Li Rongbao rested for a while before his expression calmed down a little.
Seeing that he was so sick, even Tianyou, who was standing behind Cao Yong, was a little worried.
The fourth prince is married the day after tomorrow. If the prince and father-in-law make a mistake here today, the Cao family will not be able to explain it clearly.
Everyone was secretly anxious, but Li Rongbao did not rush to speak, but instead looked at Tianyou.
Seeing this, Cao Yong asked Tianyou to come out to greet him and introduced: "This is a child Cao Zheng, who has received the grace of the emperor. He just joined the guard office a few days ago."
Li Rongbao was a little surprised: "I heard that the eldest son of the mansion is on the list of the current subject. Is this the person?"
"It's the child." Cao Yong replied.
Li Rongbao nodded and called Fu Qing, who was born behind, and said, "That's fate. This is my second son Fu Qing, who was blessed by the emperor, and he also entered the guard office. He could ask their little brothers to get close to each other."
Tianyou had seen Li Rongbao, so he bowed to Fu Qing openly: "Brother Fu."
Fu Qing looked a little embarrassed and bowed back to his gift.
After saying these words, Li Rongbao seemed to be tired again, his body was hunched over and weak.
Cao Yong was also afraid of the responsibility and said, "Sir Li is not feeling well, so he should go back and recuperate first."
Li Rongbao put his fist to his mouth, coughed a few times, and said, "I'm here with shameless face. I really have a few words to say to Lord Cao. I heard that there are many famous paintings in the mansion. If it's cheap, please ask the noble son to bring his little dog to see the world."
This was about to send out the two young people in the hall. Cao Yong nodded and waved his hand to Tianyou.
Tianyou took Fu Qing down.
Li Rongbao looked ashamed and said, "Because of the Fucha family, the reputation of the eldest princess in the mansion has been affected. In fact, my Fucha family is not... Just looking at my current appearance, Lord Cao should know that it is probably not going to take many days... Because the eldest son died young, although Fu Qing was two, I was the eldest son of my house. So I asked several relatives to decide on his wife earlier, so that the Fucha family could see each other everywhere..."
Although Li Rongbao was ill and came to the door to apologize in person, he was honest enough, but as a father, Cao Yong was really unhappy when he thought that his daughter would become a topic of conversation among the powerful people in the capital.
Then Li Rongbao continued, "I didn't expect that he did things inappropriately, which led to these right and wrong. After all, it was because of my reasons... I heard that Lord Cao and the princess loved the big princess very much, and they still wanted to stay the big princess for a few more years in order to talk about marriage. Isn't that true?"
Cao Yong nodded and said, "It is true that because of this. Because the little girl has not yet reached the age of birth, I and the princess thought of keeping her for a few more years, and there is no rush to discuss marriage after the age of birth."
Li Rongbao coughed twice again and said, "Now the gossip has come out, it's not good to defend it in front of others. I have no other way, so I can only bring the little dog to my door... Lord Cao sees this method is feasible? Let the two children get engaged first, and I will eliminate the rumors... I can't stand it. If I want to marry, I will have to be three years... If you think my son is still a good thing, I will have accomplished the two families; if there is something wrong, just break the engagement."
Although he wanted to solve this problem, what is the solution?
Cao Yong couldn't help but frown.
Compared to asking someone to talk about it inappropriately, the criticism that it will be greater after getting engaged and then breaking the engagement after getting engaged?
Li Rongbao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, even if the mansion breaks off the engagement, Ling Yan will not be held responsible. Fu Qing has not yet married, and there is still a secret that his several gangsters have already started a family and started a business."
Then, Li Rongbao said the reason.
This is the long story.
Li Rongbao lost his father at a young age and grew up with his eldest sister-in-law. He treated his eldest sister-in-law like his mother. He was a disgraceful wife and his family was getting worse and worse.
In order to repay his eldest sister-in-law, Li Rongbao appointed the eldest son's niece as his wife, and wanted to pull him over. Unexpectedly, before getting married, the eldest son died young, and the two families did not make it.
In order to comfort her eldest sister-in-law, Li Rongbao appointed another niece of her second son.
The girl was a few years younger than Fu Qing, so she had been waiting for her to go to the robbery.
Perhaps the two families really had no chance to get married again. When Fu Qing was twenty years old, the girl and the girl were about to make a marriage date when the girl fell ill.
Not only did Li Rongbao not repay his elder sister-in-law's kindness for raising her, but instead, the old lady was sad because of the two marriages, and she lost her life in less than a long time.
Because of this, there is also gossip about Fu Qingming defeating his wife.
In the future, if the Cao family wants to quit the marriage, they just need to use this as a rhetoric, and others can't say anything.
Li Rongbao is so sincere and sincere.
For the sake of Tianhui's reputation, he was able to drag his sick body and took the initiative to come up with such an idea. Cao Yong also praised him as a real person in his heart.
But even though that was the case, Cao Yong nodded, "Mr. Li's kindness, Cao is grateful. It's just a matter of a little girl, so it's not easy to go beyond my uncle. I will discuss with my uncle and visit Mr. Li in two days."
Li Rongbao was afraid that the two families would have a rift, so he took his son away with peace of mind.
However, Tianyou was surprised when his father mentioned Li Rongbao's intention: "Is Li Rongbao confused? Even if he blamed all the mistakes on Fu Qing, this engagement and resignation would not be a joke?"
Cao Yong smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is a smart person. Regardless of whether the marriage between the two families is successful or not, he will show this attitude, so why should we be embarrassed to blame the Fucha family again? If we really get engaged, Tianhui's gossip that is disliked will be self-defeating. Since he is the legitimate son of the Fucha family, how can we find faults in terms of character and ethics? How can we quit the bride at will?"
Tianyou hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I don't know what the other people in the Fu Cha family are, just talking about Fu Qinglai, they are quite friendly in their behavior."
Cao Yong thought about Fu Qing who had just stood behind Li Rongbao, and his impression was really good...
