Chapter 36 You divorced her
Mrs. Qi was also a little indifferent towards her son. Who was she arranging for his marriage for?

Of course it was for him, but this elm-knot didn't understand the painstaking efforts of his parents at all. How could Li Yanghou and his wife, who had always had everything go smoothly, not be angry?
If this son wasn't still useful and became a second-grade general at such a young age, she wouldn't even want him!

Xia Chixiao said: "Father, mother, grandmother and wife whom the son sent to pick up, now we have received news that they will arrive in the capital in a few days!"

The expressions of Marquis Liyang and his wife suddenly changed. Marquis Liyang said displeasedly: "How many times have I told you that your grandmother is here in the house, how can you have any other grandmother? What other kind of wife is there, a country girl? You What do you want to do?"

Xia Chixiao knew this would be the result.

He said slowly: "Even if she is not my biological grandmother, it is my responsibility to raise me and support her! I know my father and mother don't like it, so I will build a house outside to accommodate my grandmother. But my Madam, she is my matchmaker and she must live with me! I will take her into my house!"

"Presumptuous!" Marquis Liyang said angrily: "Who gave permission? Without the permission of your parents, it is impossible for you to bring a country girl into the house!"

Xia Chixiao frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

"Why?" Mrs. Qi laughed, but looking at the furious Marquis Liyang, she softened her voice and said, "Xiao'er, have you ever thought about your current status? Your father and mother said this before I have analyzed the pros and cons with you. When you were in the countryside, you had no access to everything in the capital, and you were misled into marrying a wife, but that does not count!"

She paused, showed a more loving expression, and said: "You will have a better future in the future. Naturally, you should marry a well-matched wife. With the help of your in-law family, you can have a bright future. You are now the second grade. This is What an honor? You brought a country girl in, and are you going to take her out with you in the future?"

"Does she understand those etiquettes? Does she know how to treat others? Can she play music, chess, calligraphy and painting that ladies in the capital know? Can she run a house?" Mrs. Qi said with a hint of color in her eyes, "She doesn't know anything. Are you going to bring her to embarrassment? If she is embarrassed, what will be the glory on your face? What will be the glory of Liyang Hou Mansion?"

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "I am a man and I stand upright. Whatever I want, I will fight for it myself. I don't have to rely on the support of my in-laws or my wife to fight for me. Besides, marriage is a settled fact, not an unfinished matter!"

Seeing that he was not getting enough, Mrs. Qi became angry again. These words had been discussed several times between father and son, and the result was the same every time. She also felt irritable in her heart.

But before, although Xia Chixiao said that he was married, it was just talk after all. Now that people are going to Beijing, the nature of the matter is different.

Xia Haicheng said coldly: "If you divorce her, it will be good for you and her. If not, don't blame your father for beating the mandarin duck!"

"I have no intention of divorcing my wife!" Xia Chixiao's voice was calm, and his eyes were also calm, but in his calmness, there was determination!

Xia Haicheng was furious, pointed at him and cursed: "Treason, you think you only represent yourself. You used to grow up in the countryside and were short-sighted. Now that you are in the capital, you still have no progress? Do you think this matter only has to do with you? ? You are the eldest son of Liyanghou Mansion, and your business is the matter of Liyanghou Mansion! If I don’t agree, will you still be disobedient?" Xia Chixiao looked at the angry Xia Haicheng, his eyes slightly dark.

Mrs. Qi tried to smooth things over and said, "Xiao'er, if you really like that woman, you can just keep her outside as an outer room. There is no need to bring her into the house. If you must bring her into the house, wait until your mother finds a good marriage for you." Let her be your concubine!"

The Qi family believed that this statement was enough to get the best of both worlds, and it was a big concession for them.

But Xia Chixiao shook his head and said: "My son doesn't understand. She is the wife I am marrying as a matchmaker. Why, after entering the capital, do you want me to stop marrying again and reduce my wife to a concubine! You have your own ideas, and I also have my insistence!" I only have her as my wife, I will not have any concubines, nor will I marry anyone else. My son is unfilial, please forgive me, father and mother!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hands and bowed. Although he was bending down, his back was straight. His resolute and unmoved look made Li Yanghou and his wife fall back in anger.

Mrs. Qi finally became impatient. She frowned and said, "Xiao'er, are you going to be accused of being unfilial for a country girl?"

Xia Chixiao looked at her quietly, the threat in her words was straightforward and obvious.Shang Qi governed the country with filial piety, and emperors of all dynasties all valued filial piety. The great ancestor once said that filial piety is the first of all virtues. If a person is not filial to his parents, but forgets his roots, he will be worse than an animal!

If his reputation for being unfilial spreads out, not to mention that his current second-grade official position will be lost, he may even be convicted for it!

Xia Chixiao said: "My son has made up his mind!"

A voice suddenly said: "Cousin, what is it that makes uncle and aunt so angry? It's easy to talk about something, but don't hurt the harmony!"

This gentle and smiling voice blew into this dull and depressing hall like a breeze.

Xia Haicheng immediately saluted and said: "Your Highness, King Qi!"

Qi Shi also saluted, and Xia Chixiao also cupped his fists and saluted.

The one who came was the eldest prince, King Shang Jianye of Qi.

Shang Jianye was born to Concubine Qing, who was Xia Haicheng's sister.

He often comes to Liyang Hou Mansion, he is very gentle and kind, and often does not let his servants report him, so he suddenly appears at the door of the house.

However, Marquis Liyang felt very happy, which meant that the nephew of King Qi was very affectionate to his uncle.

Shang Jianye said gently: "Uncle and aunt, there is no need to be polite!" He smiled and said to Xia Chixiao: "Cousin, did I hear the words about marrying a wife and taking concubines? Which girl does my cousin fall in love with? My cousin can let your cousin-in-law be the matchmaker!"

Xia Chixiao cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I have already married a wife in the countryside. My father and mother asked me to stop marrying and remarry! So there is a slight difference in opinions!"

Shang Jianye said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, and cousin are affectionate. This is a good thing! He has his own ideas, and you have your own considerations. We have to discuss it carefully. Don't hurt the harmony between father and son!"

Xia Haicheng said: "Yes!"

Xia Chixiao also said: "Yes!"

Shang Jianye said gently and cordially: "Look, the family is being polite again, isn't it? I am also very happy today, so I came to see my uncle and aunt. I came across this incident by chance. Don't think that I am here uninvited. !”

"Your Highness can come, and it's not too late for us to wait for the welcome!" Xia Haicheng smiled, how could he still look majestic and stern like before?
When Xia Chixiao saw this posture, it was obvious that King Qi had something to discuss with Xia Haicheng, so he resigned wisely.

Shang Jianye also said with a smile: "Cousin, I got a good horse the day before yesterday. I think my cousin likes it, so I sent someone to send it to you!"
