Chapter 241

When he got home in the afternoon, Hu Xiaoya told Fang Nan about the Qiao sisters' agreement to marry, and Fang Nan accepted it with a wry smile.

In this era, it is normal for a powerful man to marry a few women or even a dozen women. Fang Nan has no idea about other women for the time being.

On the one hand, he was concerned about his relationship with Hu Xiaoya and did not want to make Hu Xiaoya sad. On the other hand, Fang Nan focused on the People's Army. The People's Army did not have the absolute strength to defeat the Ming court. In this case, Fang Nan was not willing to consider his children's personal affairs more, and it would not be too late to consider these things after the People's Army overthrew the Ming court.

Since his wife got things done, Fang Nan had to accept it. If he refused now and asked the Qiao sisters to do what they should do, he would not have been sentenced to death.

The Qiao sisters agreed to marry Fang Nan, but the next thing was a little troublesome, which was to propose marriage in Qiao's house. Qiao Rong didn't know about her two daughters.

The most important thing is that Qiao Rong is a literati, and most of the literati are loyal to the Ming court.

Fortunately, there is one thing that can be assured. Fang Nan felt that Qiao Rong was not foolish and loyal to the Ming court. A group of literati who were loyal to the Ming court had died after the city was broken, and a group of people tried to leave Guangdong and go to the Ming ruling area. Now they are either dead or unwilling to die. Qiao Rong is still in Guangzhou City, which shows that Qiao Rong does not want to die.

With this, Fang Nan will be able to handle the proposal.

Just like the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor took a fancy to a woman, and just took the woman into the palace with an imperial edict. The family did not dare to refuse the imperial edict at all. Rejecting the imperial edict means death, and even the important officials of the court were no exception.

Fang Nan is not an emperor, but he is also a native emperor. He directly sent someone to propose marriage in the name of the Grand Governor's Office. Qiao Rong had to accept it even if he didn't accept it. On the contrary, Fang Nan was not able to come to him in person for the first time.

Thinking of this, Fang Nan immediately sent someone to arrange the proposal.

Soon, it was an auspicious day in late June. A "big red" team set off from the Grand Governor's Office with a betrothal gift, and whipped the Qiao Mansion along the way.

Many people who like to watch the fun followed the marriage proposal team, wanting to see which woman was attracted by the Grand Governor.

On the Qiao Mansion, the marriage proposal team had not arrived yet, and Qiao Rong had already known it in advance. After all, it was related to the governor. A servant from Qiao Mansion knew about this outside and immediately ran back to report to Qiao Rong. However, Qiao Rong did not know that the marriage proposal team was coming to his house, and was still thinking about which woman was attracted by the governor.

Qiao Rong thought about it a little, but she really didn't expect any young and unmarried woman in the family. No, there is a family.

"Isn't it coming to Qiao Mansion?"

Qiao Rong had a thought in her mind, and she felt it was impossible. When did her two daughters meet the general of the People's Army?

Just as Qiao Rong was thinking, the wedding team came to the gate of Qiao Mansion and kept knocking.

Qiao Rong was unable to continue thinking because of the sound of gongs and drums. She felt that the sound of gongs and drums had not changed. Qiao Rong immediately felt that the wedding team was coming to her home!

Before Qiao Rong could continue thinking, the housekeeper had already come over and reported to Qiao Rong about the wedding team outside the mansion.

In the wedding procession of the Grand Governor's Office, did Qiao Rong accept it or not?

This is a very difficult choice. Qiao Rong is not stupid and loyal to the Ming court. As long as the family can live safely, Qiao Rong doesn't care whether the owner of this land is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the Governor of the People's Army.

It has little to do with the Ming court, so that the Qiao family can continue to stay in Guangzhou City and has not been confiscated by the People's Army, but it does not mean that Qiao Rong wants to make the Qiao family connect with the People's Army.

If the daughter marrys the Grand Governor and the Ming army defeats the People's Army, then the entire Qiao family will be over.

The key is that if Qiao Rong doesn't marry his daughter to the Grand Governor, then the Qiao family may be over now. It is said that the Grand Governor is a great charity and is good to the people. Qiao Rong doesn't believe it at all. It's just a means to win the hearts of the people. If you really want to reject the Grand Governor, the possibility of the Qiao family being safe is very small.

One is to die now, the other is to die in the future, or the People's Army may overthrow the Ming court, and the Grand Governor becomes the emperor and his daughter becomes the concubine. The Qiao family may grow stronger because of their daughter.

If he could choose, Qiao Rong really didn't want to marry his daughter to the Grand Governor and contact the People's Army, but now he had to make a choice. The team for marriage proposals had arrived, so Qiao Rong had no choice but to accept it.

Accepting it was accepted, Qiao Rong did not want to go to the gate to greet him in person. After all, the governor wanted to marry his daughter and let his future father-in-law be welcomed by the gate.

The Qiao family was busy with work, and finally the marriage was decided. Next month, the Qiao sisters would marry the Grand Governor Fang Nan together. The team of marriage proposals left, leaving behind a betrothal gift worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It seems that the value of the betrothal gift is very high, but in fact the cost is not high. The glass mirror and transparent glass, which are the most important part of the betrothal gift, have very low production costs, but are relatively high in selling prices.

As betrothal gifts, these glass mirrors of Qiao Mansion can be given to others as valuable gifts.

The marriage proposal team left, and no one in the hall dared to smile because the owner of the Qiao Mansion, Mr. Qiao, seemed very unhappy, so the others naturally did not dare to laugh.

Qiao Rong was unhappy and very unhappy. Qiao Rong could not refuse the governor's request to marry his two daughters at once. What really made Qiao Rong angry was that his two daughters had contacted the governor when they were in contact with the governor, and even the governor sent someone to propose marriage, but the two daughters did not tell him the matter in advance, the father-like person.

"Call Mu Xue and Mu Yu over, and you all go down too."

"Yes, Master."

In the hall, the crowd began to dissipate, and after a while, the Qiao sisters walked over with small steps.

Before Qiao Rong could speak, the Qiao sisters both knelt in front of Qiao Rong.

"Dad, my daughter knows she is wrong." Qiao Muxue and Qiao Muyu whispered together.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of his two daughters, Qiao Rong's thought of scolding dissipated.

"Oh!" Qiao Rong sighed and asked, "When did you two know that one?"

"Dad, we knew the Grand Governor last year, but we didn't know his identity before. Sister Xiaoya's husband is the Grand Governor." Xiao Qiao replied.

Listening to his daughter's words, Qiao Rong had a headache. One of the generals and the other of the generals' wife was playing in private visits.

After the headache, Qiao Rong also breathed a sigh of relief, and was relieved for her two daughters.

The Emperor Empress/The Palace is conceivable. The Grand Governor now has only one wife, and it will definitely increase in the future. Qiao Rongzhen is worried that his two daughters will be bullied.

The wife of the Grand Governor gave Qiao Rong a good impression. Her two daughters had a good relationship with her. After marrying the Grand Governor, they should not be bullied.

"well."
