Twin Brocade

Chapter 696
The courtyard of the Tan family is simple and secluded.

In a rectangular bluestone jar in the middle, two white water lilies bloom quietly.This stone jar is old, and the walls of the jar are stained with moss, and green moss floats on the water.

All this is very quiet.

In the wing room on the side of the courtyard, Mr. Tan knelt on the reed mat, closed his eyes and meditated.Tan Yang knelt and sat opposite him, pressing his hands on his knees.

The room was quiet, even the air seemed to stagnate.

After a while, the kettle on the nearby heater made a "gurgling" sound.Tan Yang lifted the lid of the teapot, and started to make tea according to the ancient ritual.After a set of smooth movements, a cup of tea was placed in front of the two of them.

Master Tan opened his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Fang's house."

"Yes, father." Tan Yang nodded, nervously waiting for his father's next words.

At Princess Zhaoyang's mansion, he and Fang Jinshu had a hasty meeting.For this arranged marriage, some expectations were born.With such a wife, the rest of my life can be expected.

But he knew better that Fang Shuyu was now a general under King Qi's command.This variable caused many uncertainties in his marriage with Fang Jinshu.

Whether it can be done or not is not up to him.

"Prepare the gift, and invite Fang Zhan to come to the mansion to appreciate calligraphy and painting." Master Tan said slowly.

"Okay." There was joy in Tan Yang's eyes.

The corner of Master Tan's mouth curled up, looked at him and asked, "Very happy?"

Tan Yang was a little embarrassed, and said "um", "I thought..."

"You thought it wouldn't work, right?" Master Tan said with a smile, "I'm really hesitant. We won't know if it's a blessing or a curse if we get involved in the Fang family's gamble."

"But the Tan family's reappearance in Beijing, their reputation is important."

After Gao Mang established the country, the Tan family has been dormant.While licking the wound to accumulate vitality, he waited for the opportunity.

With Tan Yang, now is the best time the Tan family can wait.And reputation is extremely important to the Tan family at this moment.

Although their marriage with the Fang family was not made public, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.During the exchanges between the two families, Tan Yang studied scriptures under Fang Shuyu's name for more than a year.

For this reason, Fang Jinshu never saw other marriages.

Even if no one else knew about it, the Fang family's in-laws knew about it.

If the Tan family repented, as long as the Fang family spread the word a little, the reputation of the Tan family would be ruined.Delaying a woman's youth is an unforgivable sin.

This kind of thing is not without, and there are countless heartless people who start chaotically and end up giving up.

But for today's Tan family, they cannot afford such a reputation.

"Father, I understand." No matter what the reason was, Tan Yang was very happy that the two families could continue to discuss marriage.That indifferent but noble woman, he really hoped to be his wife.

Tan Yang thought for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Father, if one day the crown prince ascends the throne, what should we do?"

"You are you, she is her." Master Tan twitched his beard and said, "If you can't bear it, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Tan family, not the daughter of the Fang family."

This is what it means to be wise and safe.

After all, it is common for in-laws to hold different political stances.

Fang Jinshu entered the Tan family, she was the daughter-in-law of the Tan family.

The Tan family has now appeared at the Zhu family's sweet-scented osmanthus feast.Because Tan Yang married Fang Jinshu, the Zhu family's resources would not be lost.If King Qi ascends the throne, even if the Tan family does nothing, they can still benefit from the Fang family.

On the contrary, just make a decisive decision and cut off the relationship with the Fang family.

It's just that the Tan family now wants to rely on the strength of the Fang family to gain a firm foothold, and intends to be alone when the Fang family is in trouble.

Early the next morning, Tan Yang prepared four-color gift boxes, and went to Fang's door with due courtesy.

Fang Shuyu had already gone to Zhan Shi's residence, and Si Lansheng met him in the flower hall.

"Today, is Mr. Tan free?" Si Lansheng sat on the high back chair of Huanghuali, looking at him calmly.

Tan Yang's heart was hurting, and he saluted respectfully: "The late student was unwell a few days ago, and it was the late student's fault that he couldn't come to visit." Normal thing.He can only pretend to be unwell, hoping to be forgiven.

"Oh?" Si Lansheng glanced at him, and said, "I can't tell that you were sick. Speaking of which, the fourth girl in our family just got sick."

Hearing this, Tan Yang raised his head abruptly, with a nervous expression: "Madam, is sister Shu sick?" He hated himself for being so negligent that he didn't even know Fang Jinshu was sick.

Seeing him nervous, Si Lansheng felt relieved a little, and said, "It's much better now."

"Then... can the eldest wife allow me to meet my younger sister Shu?" Tan Yang boldly asked.Since the two families continue to discuss marriage, his request is not outrageous.When he suddenly heard that she was ill, he was really worried.

Si Lansheng pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Yanxia, ​​go and have a look, would Shu'er be willing to come?" She put the right of choice in Fang Jinshu's own hands.

The marriage with the Tan family has dragged on for so long, and she is not sure in her heart whether it is a good marriage or not.

Tan Yang came late, not because he said he was unwell.Si Lansheng was vaguely aware of what the Tan family was planning and why they finally made this decision.

"Girl, Sister Yanxia is here." Fangzhi entered the door and reported.

Fang Jinshu put down the pen in his hand and said, "Please come in quickly."

"Fourth Miss," Yanxia bent her knees and said, "The eldest son of the Tan family is here, and he is in the flower hall. The eldest wife sent her servant to ask, do you want to go over?"

Tan Yang.

Fang Jinshu thought for a while, and then understood why he had only come to the door at this time, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and let's get over it." Her marriage had already become a knot in the heart of her parents.This time she was seriously ill, and her family misunderstood that she was sad for her marriage.

That being the case, it is better to make a quick decision.

There is nothing wrong with the Tan family, a family whose interests are paramount.It's better to calmly analyze the pros and cons of everything, that hypocritical and polite person.

Fang Zhi waited on her, changed into a well-regulated skirt, and covered it with a Ruyi cloud pattern gauze dress, and took the dowry box.

"Miss, how about wearing a flowing cloud bun?" When going to see her future husband-in-law, it's time to make it look brighter.Fang Jinshu had just been ill, and his complexion was not very good.

Fang Jinshu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Marrying Tan Yang is just a cooperative relationship between you and me.The Tan family married the Fang family's daughter-in-law, not Fang Jinshu.

Fangzhi tied a simple bun for her, fixed it with pearl hairpins, and added a pair of tassel earrings as decoration.In her private heart, she always thought that what Tan Yang saw was the perfect girl in her heart.
