[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Go and see if Nan Yan is back?" Nan Gongyan couldn't sit still in the inn for a moment, and kept looking through the window to the street, but unfortunately he never saw the person he wanted to see.Nangongyan has never experienced such suffering in his life, his heart seemed to be soaked in a boiling oil pan, and he couldn't help worrying whether Nanyan had lost her, and whether he could find out the news.

This is already the fifth time Nan Tian has gone out to check the situation, and he doesn't know what happened to his eldest son, he came back from the temple in such a distraught manner.What important matter did Nanyan go to do to provoke the elder son to be so uncertain, it was the first time in Nan Tian's life that he saw such an elder son.

"Back to my son, I still haven't seen Nan Yan." Nan Tian bit the bullet and poured cold water on him again.

"Today we should take a few more people out, not just the two of you, as the matter is imminent and cannot be resolved." Nangong Yan looked remorseful and couldn't help walking back and forth in the room.

While speaking, the person guarding the door shouted: "Master, Nan Yan is back."

"My lord, it's a good thing this subordinate lives up to his fate..." Before Nan Yan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Nan Gongyan: "Let's get to the point." Then she stared at Nan Yan expectantly and waited for the next sentence.

"My subordinate saw the carriage that the girl was riding into Lin's mansion with my own eyes, and asked a passer-by to inquire about it. It turned out that it was the mansion of Mr. Lin Ruhai, who was highly regarded by the Emperor Daqi." Lin Ruhai's girl, Nanyan couldn't call her by her first name when she reported back, so she added Mrs. Lin to show respect, so that the son would not settle accounts in the future and say that he didn't respect the future Mrs. Yuezhang.

"Master Lin..." Nangong Yan muttered to himself, it turned out that the beautiful woman was his daughter.Nan Gongyan had heard of Lin Ruhai's name when he was in Southern Xinjiang. It is said that not only was he a capable minister, but also deeply trusted by the Great Qi Emperor, and that his seven sons also had their own merits, especially Lin Hanyu, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was even more famous.Sometimes the father would even tell himself that fortunately Lin Hanyu went to Beimu, and if he was sent to southern Xinjiang, maybe Nanjiang would have to adjust to Beimu's situation now.

It turns out that Master Lin also has a daughter, no wonder she is such a beautiful and elegant person, it turns out that it is a family background, and the whole family is a dragon and phoenix among people.

"My subordinates also inquired about another layer of identity of Miss Lin. It is said that Miss Lin was born on the Flower Festival. On that day, all the flowers bloomed in the whole capital, and the rain fell from the sky, and the dead trees were in spring. The blessed girl recognized by the Emperor Daqi, was born on the same day. She was accepted by the emperor as a righteous daughter and named Princess Moon. It is said that the Emperor Daqi loved her even more than his own princess, and he rewarded her twice every three days.” Nanyan, who was usually as tall as a tree, was rarely enlightened, and asked all she could.

What Nan Yan inquired about, but everyone in the old Beijing knew these reasons, so she spent a small amount of money to find a few ordinary people who had lived nearby for a long time and inquired about it.

After hearing this, Nangong Yan couldn't help but sit down and meditate.Before, they only cared about the excitement of meeting a beautiful woman, but now that they think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of obstacles between the two of them.At first, looking at the beauty's dress, she expected that she was not the daughter of an ordinary family, but now she still has the status of a princess, and she is still a favored princess.

In Nangongyan's view, this layer of identity is both a convenience and a hindrance. It depends on how carefully he plans to achieve what he wants.Why do you say that, Nanjiang and Daqi are still two hostile countries after all, if there is no status as a princess, Nangongyan would really not be able to ask for marriage, and if he did, he would put his future father-in-law's family on the fire.Nangong Yan had already consciously called Lin Ruhai Yuezhang in his heart, if Lin Ruhai knew about it, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

The Emperor Daqi might also doubt whether the Yue family had colluded with Nanjiang in the future, even if there was no suspicion for the time being, the Yue family might be more guarded and suspicious by the Emperor Da Qi in the future, and would never be reused again.As the heir of Nanjiang, Nan Gongyan is still well versed in the psychology of the incumbent.

Nangong Yan really wanted to get married, so he couldn't harm his future wife and family.Furthermore, even if he asks for marriage, the future father-in-law will definitely refuse with various reasons. Put yourself in the shoes of him, if he has a daughter in the future, and the daughter has to marry so far away from home, and it is another country, there is a little friction between the two countries. That girl is likely to become the opponent's bargaining chip, and he is definitely the first person to stand up and oppose it.Of course, Nangong Yan will not do this, but it does not prevent the Yue family from having such an idea in the future, the reality is here after all.

Comparing his heart with his heart, Nangong Yan can predict the attitude of his father-in-law after his marriage proposal in the future, and there are seven uncles, and he might drink a pot of any of them. Thinking carefully about his road to marriage proposal, it is really difficult.

However, with the status of a princess, it is different. Nangong Yan can directly propose marriage to Emperor Daqi under the banner of marriage between the two countries. Even if Emperor Daqi is unwilling, as long as he shows enough sincerity, I believe there is still some point. Be sure to convince the emperor.After all, there have been countless examples of marriages between the two dynasties since ancient times, and he didn't believe that Emperor Qi would not be tempted by things that were beneficial.

In this way, there is no need to worry too much about the difficult life of the Yuezhang family in the future. The Yuezhang family has indirectly contributed to the interests of Daqi. How about it.If it is done properly, it may be necessary to feel guilty towards the future father-in-law's family, and can make up for it from other places.The above is the convenience of being a princess.

But why is it an obstacle?According to Nan Yan's inquiries, Miss Lin is deeply favored by the Emperor Daqi. Although interests drive people's hearts, in the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, if the Emperor Daqi is unwilling to use marriage in exchange for interests, and then accidentally puts her He was annoyed, making him think that Nanjiang was threatening and provoking, forcing him to use the marriage of the princess in exchange for peace.That would be bad, when the time comes when he becomes angry and directly fights, the people in southern Xinjiang will suffer from unwarranted disasters because of his selfishness.

Even if Emperor Daqi was willing to marry the princess, such a good opportunity would be a waste if he didn't open his mouth. Nanjiang must pay more to make this happen.However, Nangong Yan was not afraid of the last point. Nanjiang was already planning his next move, and he was ready to make a concession. It was nothing more than making this concession a little earlier and paying more.As long as it doesn't affect the normal life of the people in southern Xinjiang, he doesn't mind if the royal family makes more concessions.

Furthermore, the marriage between him and Ms. Lin may have an unexpected effect in the negotiations between the two countries, making the originally sharply contradictory negotiations more peaceful.Of course, these are things for later, the most urgent thing is to successfully propose marriage first.

These are only the possible situations that Nangong Yan speculates based on what he knows so far, but the actual situation is even more severe.He didn't know Daiyu's weight in the emperor's heart, didn't know the identity of Daiyu's goddess, and didn't know the so-called "seven stars accompany the moon", but these are the most likely to become the biggest stumbling block preventing the emperor from agreeing to the marriage.

Nangongyan was meditating by himself, while Nantian on the other side couldn't bear it anymore. So far, he vaguely guessed from Nanyan's answer that his family's eldest son should have taken a fancy to a girl.So he asked Nan Yan's situation in a low voice: "Have you ever found out whether that young lady has denied marriage?" Nan Tian asked the most critical question.No matter how much you think about it right now, it would be nonsense if the girl got engaged.

Nan Yan was momentarily stunned by the question, and after a long time Fang replied weakly: "I really didn't ask this." He was a little guilty when he said that, if he made Shizi happy, it would be his negligence.

"How many times have I told you before that you should be flexible when you encounter problems, and you can't be one-sided. The most important thing is that I didn't inquire about it. If someone gets married, maybe our eldest son will go to snatch the marriage." Nan Tian hated Tie a little Not into steel.

Nangongyan recalled his thoughts and saw Nanyan and Nantian muttering beside him, "What are you two talking about secretly?" Nangongyan thought that Nanyan still had some news to say.

"Master, it's nothing. This subordinate will tell Nan Yan later that we will inquire more about the future concubine, so that the master can embrace the beauty as soon as possible." Nan Tian has always been eloquent.

This sentence made Nangong Yan feel at ease, "Go and come back quickly, when the future concubine passes through the door, the Lord will definitely reward you a lot." Then he waved the two of them out.

Leaving aside Nangongyan, Daiyu, who was heading home in the carriage, was admiring the big maid Shurui criticizing the man she met in the bamboo forest from all angles. The criticism is useless, and the words are not repeated. Daiyu is very happy to see.It turns out that Shurui has never found out that Shurui is so quick-spoken, swearing without swearing, and not repeating it. If he discovered this skill earlier, wouldn't it be a lot more fun.

Shurui's small mouth kept talking, her mouth was dry, another maid next to her handed a glass of warm water at the right time, Shurui took it and drank it in one breath, and was about to continue, only to find that everyone in the car was looking at her. The maid was still snickering, and the oil bottle couldn't help hanging from her mouth.

"Miss, look at them, that apprentice is so hateful, they still laugh at the servant when the servant says a few words." Shurui couldn't help coquettishly.

"Who dares to laugh at our book stamen, who has iron teeth and copper teeth, if he dares to laugh, he thinks he has lived too long." Daiyu joked.

"Miss, you are also laughing at slaves." Shurui turned around pretending to be angry.

"How dare I laugh at Miss Shurui, you are a great hero today, we will have a table when we go back later, thank you for being a great hero, and you should toast Shurui with two more glasses of wine later." The other maids on the side responded repeatedly, "Sister Shurui is long" and "Sister Shurui is short", coaxing Shurui to smile after a while.

"Miss, this is the first time this servant has seen such a shameless man. I wish I could stare out my eyes. As for that ugly and poor old man, he dares to show his thoughts. This servant really wishes to beat him up with his own hands." Shurui Still talking about it, she is so angry, her own lady deserves the best, and it is difficult for the princes and grandchildren in the capital to pick one to match her, let alone an unknown person who came out of nowhere, as Daiyu's Loyal fan, two words of scolding are light.

"Okay, irrelevant people, don't deserve to be angry. Maybe it's because Miss Ben is so beautiful that he's stupefied. Good Shurui, let's forget about that idiot." Apart from being rude at the beginning, the man was rude later on. As a matter of courtesy, Daiyu mercifully rescued him from the mouth of a certain maid, so that he would not be sneezed by the nagging.

Nangong Yan, who sneezed several times at the inn...
