Chapter Three Forced Marriage (1)

The Shangsi Festival was passed safely, Qiao Hongxi only thought that all three of his sons had gone to the Qushui Liushang Yayan, and he was very happy to hear that his second son, Qiao Zeyu, was brilliant at the banquet.And Qiao Songyu also thought that she had concealed the fact that she went out to play for a day without letting anyone find out. Naturally, she didn't pay attention to the weird person she met by the creek that day.

However, what happened five days later was like a thunderbolt on the ground, causing Qiao's mansion to explode.

At that time, Qiao Songyu was teasing a parrot in the backyard. The parrot was named "Qiaozui".He likes to tease it when he has nothing to do.

"Male god, male god!" This is one of Qiaozui's most common ways of being cute, that is, when he sees Qiao Songyu, he calls him a male god. This is taught by Dongzao, the servant in charge of Qiaozui.You can get rewards for this, so every time you see Qiao Songyu, you call him this.

"You are so good, I will reward you with a melon seed." Qiao Songyu's small face was full of complacency, holding a melon seed and feeding it to Qiaozui, "Come on, Qiaozui, say 'Congratulations, Master', quickly say, 'Congratulations, Master'!"

Qiaozui's mung bean looked at Qiao Songyu in puzzlement, as if she didn't quite understand what her little master meant.

"'Congratulations, master'! Say it!" Qiao Songyu held a melon seed kernel and shook it in front of Qiaozui's eyes, and repeated "Congratulations, master". When Qiaozui saw the melon seed kernel, he really said:

"Congratulations, master! Congratulations, master!"

"You're so smart, Guaziren." Qiao Songyu smiled happily.

The servant Dongzao, who was in charge of Qiaozui, couldn't help asking flatteringly: "Young master, what's the master's interest?"

Qiao Songyu glanced at him and said triumphantly: "You don't know, early this morning, my father was called away by the people from the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites arranges the ceremony in the palace. A ceremony in the palace is just to make new clothesIsn't it worthy of congratulations that my family has another big business coming in?"

When Dongzao heard it, he suddenly realized, and immediately said with a smile: "That is indeed a great event. When the master comes, the younger one will also have to congratulate him, so please win the prize!"

While feeding Qiaozui, Qiao Songyu's white jade-like face became brighter and brighter: "Just pick auspicious words, and your reward is indispensable!"

"Hey! Thank you, young master, for your suggestion!"

While the master and the servant were talking, Qiao Hongxi, the master of the Qiao family, really came into the backyard from the outside. Qiao Songyu saw her father coming in, and hurriedly whispered to Qiaozui:

"Speak quickly, what did this Young Master teach you just now?"

Qiaozui tilted her head, looking at him with mung bean eyes in bewilderment.

Qiao Songyu immediately handed over a melon seed kernel.

At that time, Qiao Hongxi had already walked into the backyard. He had a gloomy face, obviously not in a good mood—naturally, he was called by the Ministry of Rites early in the morning.He said:

"Mr. Qiao, congratulations, you will be the father-in-law who is more beautiful than Uncle Guo!"

Qiao Hongxi is like unable to make head or tail of it, once it comes, where does the joy come from?Secondly, he doesn't have a daughter, what kind of father-in-law should he be?

"Mr. Qiao, Prime Minister Pei Xinyue, the third son of your family, has asked His Majesty for the imperial decree of marriage, and His Majesty has agreed. The imperial decree is about to come down soon. It is too abrupt, so I specially called to come down to inform you."

When Qiao Hongxi heard this, it was like splashing a basin of cold water, her heart was both startled and cold - then what kind of powerful person is Prime Minister Pei, how could he have a crush on his third son?Although Songyu of his family has red lips, white teeth, white skin and fair appearance, she is like a good girl, but she is a man after all, how can she marry someone else as a wife?It's the humble young lady who marries a man as a concubine!

The head of the Ministry of Rites saw that his face was pale and expressionless, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, the third son of your family who Prime Minister Pei wants to marry is the wife of the wife, not a concubine. Although there has never been a marriage between a man and a man since ancient times.", but Prime Minister Pei is such a great husband that is hard to find in ancient and modern times, and that delicate woman is naturally not worthy, so naturally asking to marry such a wonderful man as the third son of your mansion, it is not considered an offense to the world."

After all, Qiao Hongxi is a shrewd businessman, on the surface he was full of conceit, but he said in his heart: Fart!What nonsense!You sycophant!It's not that your son married a man, so naturally you can stand and talk without back pain!No, for a flatterer like you, if Prime Minister Pei takes a fancy to your son, I'm afraid you will be sent to the prime minister's residence!
