Chapter 4: Right and Wrong?

"There is one thing you may not know yet, but it is a good thing, the father of your mother's third sister-in-law appeared in Beijing and is asking for your little niece to marry your grandson in the family, so your little niece should not have to suffer from exile. ”

Concubine Zhu Gui said with a lot of emotion. The grandson of the Le family is only more than two years old, and the little niece of the Li family is less than two months old, so that the two milk dolls are officially combined, write the marriage book, and the girl will return to the husband when she gets married. Now Emperor Yuan You's cadres are arbitrary and wantonly killing, and under this kind of high-pressure control, there are always a few who dare to save people with such righteousness.

Li Shi has rarely shown a smile for more than half a month and said: "Uncle Le is the most beloved daughter, when my father and Uncle Le were admitted to the Jinshi together, Longshuo's father in the second year of the Tanhua, Uncle Le failed to take the exam three times in a row, so he gave up the heart of the scientific examination, and devoted himself to studying medicine, and then due to fate, my third brother married the third sister-in-law, Uncle Le for the dignity of the third sister-in-law, picked up the book and went to the Jinshi examination, and took the exam twice, but he was in the Jinshi Department at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but Uncle Le did not have the heart of the career, and he did not go to wait for the official after getting the fame of the Jinshi. ”

Concubine Zhu Gui looked at the Li family and said slowly and lovingly: "I love you too." ”

These five words made Li's eyes burst into tears.

Concubine Zhu Gui took out five Chase silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 taels from the wide sleeve inner pocket, stuffed them in Li's hand and said: "The Li family has copied it, and your dowry is not much, if you really want to leave the Zhu family and follow all the way to the southwest, you have a lot of money." ”

Li's father, Li Tai, was born in poverty, and the money for his studies and scientific examinations when he was young was funded by the squire Cao Gong, who was the maiden father of Li's sister-in-law. Li Tai has been an official for more than 30 years, is a rare person in the officialdom who is clean and self-conscious, honest and upright all his life, more than ten masters of three generations in the family, maids, mothers-in-law, cooks, and RV drivers, etc., there are only more than 20 people, and the day the Li family copied it, everyone can see that the Li family does not have much surplus wealth. When the officialdom takes bribery as a habit, Li Tai can still stick to his heart and be alone. So when the Li family got married, the ten miles of red makeup were good-looking, but Mrs. Tai insisted, frantically threw the dowry to the Li family, and asked the Li family to make a dowry to bring the dowry back.

Li didn't expect Concubine Zhu Gui to give her money, and her first reaction was to refuse.

Concubine Zhu Gui pressed Li's hand and said: "You have been in the Zhu family for three years, taking care of the Xuanguo Mansion with your heart, you have a clear conscience with some things, and to be honest, I am sick, as early as three months, and I will not see the spring of next year, my life is over, and after I go, I can't tell who the things behind me are cheaper!"

Li Shi held the silver ticket, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he fell on Concubine Zhu Gui's lap, crying for the farewell now, and the farewell of life and death in the near future.

Concubine Zhu Gui stroked her head, as if enjoying Li's heartfelt sadness for her, and then asked Li to go out to make up and call Zhu Qin in.

As soon as Zhu Qin came in, he threw himself beside Concubine Zhu Gui and asked, "Second sister, has Yueniang forgiven me?"

Concubine Zhu Gui raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What is 'forgiveness'?"

Zhu Qin scratched his cheeks anxiously and said, "Yueniang should know that Xu Jin is nothing to me." Yueniang and I, from the court to the toys on the market, there are always endless words, that Xu Jin is just an embroidered pillow, saying 'cousin drink a cup of tea', how long can I be fresh. Yueniang is different from me. ”

Vulgarly speaking, Li is a partner who can live, and Xu Jin only has one function of sleeping. Zhu Qin thought that the Li family would understand that Xu Jin could not be compared with her at all.

"You bastard! Xu's slut is nothing?" Concubine Zhu Gui raised her eyebrows coldly, and said sharply: "I'll sue you, what is she." Xu's family, even if her parents died, the Xu family was weak. Even if she is shallow in knowledge and mediocre in qualifications, she is even pretentious and calculating. Just because her mother and your mother are sisters, you and she are two aunts and cousins, aunts and cousins, relatives and cousins, and she is qualified to be your wife, which is nothing? No wonder Li was cold, just now in front of me, he didn't mention Xu's slut at all. Since you don't take the Xu family in your eyes, what are you going to provoke her, when you provoke her, what did you think about for the Li family!"

"I ...... I...... I ......" Zhu Qin opened his mouth several times before he mustered up the courage to say it: "I really didn't think about it that much at that time. I just made the mistake that a man would make, and it wasn't even a mistake. The children of the high families in the capital, the bouquet of flowers, and the back and forth in the pink rouge pile, there are a few of them in the same way as me, I just didn't hold it for a while, and I did drink some wine that day. ”

Concubine Zhu Gui said a big sentence in a loud voice just now, and now she clutched her chest and gasped: "It's our fault, we shouldn't have taken care of you in the first place." ”

Although Zhu Qin was born to Mrs. Cai, Zhu Qin's childhood to adulthood was managed by Lao Guogong and his three sisters, and later he found the Li family for him, and also pulled his heart tightly. Zhu Qin is a young son, but he is a sister-in-law who needs to inherit the family business, with heavy burdens on his shoulders and strict discipline since he was a child.

Since everything has been said about this, Zhu Qin also came up with a proposition and said: "It's all my fault, and I have also thought of a compromise disposal." Anyway, Yueniang and I have no children for three years, Xu Jin's child can be born and placed under Yueniang's knees, as for Xu Jin, it is not difficult to marry far away, and her mother is also satisfied. ”

"You're still dreaming. Yueniang won't raise a cheap child, what your mother wants is not so simple, you can't hold it down at both ends. Concubine Zhu Gui's brain began to ache faintly again, and she pressed her forehead and said, "Let this matter go first, now the Li family and the Li family, what do you think?"

These days, Zhu Qin is deliberately avoiding this matter, but he also knows that he can't avoid it in front of Concubine Zhu Gui, so he straightened his chest and said: "Yueniang is a member of the Zhu family, I will protect her." ”

"So the people of the Li family, you won't care. Concubine Zhu said coldly.

Zhu Qin lowered his head and sighed softly: "What's the matter, the emperor's sacred heart is arbitrary, and he even killed his own son, who has already killed the red-eyed person." ”

Concubine Zhu Gui calmly bowed her head, covered her forehead with her hand and said, "In that case, you should make peace with Yueniang and let her out." ”

Zhu Qin was not a little mentally prepared, and when he heard this, he just knelt beside Concubine Zhu Gui and did not answer.

"You are stubborn, you can't be stubborn anymore, Yueniang, there are all her flesh and blood relatives. Concubine Zhu Gui patted Zhu Qin's shoulder and sighed: "You are also old, as long as you think it clearly." Do you want the Zhu family to have more dry bones, or a Yueniang who is still full of life, but you will never see it again. ”

Zhu Qin is still very young, he is only eighteen years old, his heart is not so ruthless, but his love is not so great and selfless, this decision Zhu Qin can't make it at all for a while, only forced to cry cowardly by both ends.

"You go back and think about it yourself, but there is an ugly sentence I want to say in front, no matter if Yueniang goes or stays, you and Xu Jin are ugly, in my eyes, don't expect a quilt to cover it, don't be ashamed when the time comes. ”

Concubine Zhu Gui's head was already hurting very badly, so she said this sentence and asked Zhu Qin and Yueniang to go back.

Along the way, Zhu Qin's soul was not guarded, he didn't know how he got out of the arch, he didn't know how he got on the horse, and when he looked up, he had already seen the plaque at the main gate of the Zhu family, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and Emperor Taizong personally mentioned 'building the Xuanguo Mansion'.

Zhu Qin looked up at the plaque, his vision was blurred, and he said to the Li family who entered the door: "You just leave so decisively, don't you have any reluctance?"

Li Shi had already crossed the threshold, his figure was stunned, and only one back was given to Zhu Qin, and he said in a low voice: "You will ...... in the future." There will be other women!"

Zhu Qin, the husband, a glory of the Xuanguo Mansion, in the final analysis, still did not reach the surname of the Li family!

A few days later, Zhu Qin and the Li family reconciled, and the reason for the divorce was written by Zhu Qin, Zhu Qin couldn't put pen to paper, and Mrs. Tai thought about Xu Jin's stomach and instigated a reason for being childless for three years.

After Li left the Zhu family, Li's thirteen-year-old brother Li Jifan had turned into a half-mutilated corpse and sent to the capital. Because when the government in Shuzhong was chasing Li Jifan, the carriage that Li Jifan was riding fell into the valley, and Li Jifan and the housekeeper in the car all died, and when the people in the government climbed down the valley, the bodies of the three had been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, so they became like that.

The Li family collected the bodies of his father and brother and several loyal servants, handed them over to the Lejia uncle to care for the coffin and returned to his hometown, and buried them together in Chongde, Zhejiang, the ancestral hometown of the Li family. Then Li hired a few people, followed Yang and his party out of the west, and when he walked to Chengdu, Sichuan, he found that he was pregnant and physically weak and not suitable for traveling, and was forced to stay in Shuzhong, Yuan You gave birth to a daughter on the ninth day of September in the tenth year of Yuan You, named Li Fei.

On the other hand, Zhu Qin reconciled with the Li family in March, and married his cousin Xu in April under the control of Mrs. Tai, and the good news came out after more than a month, but Concubine Zhu Gui in the palace, as she warned, did not recognize this brother and daughter-in-law. On September 25, Concubine Zhu Gui died of illness, and before her death, she publicly donated part of her property to the Li family as a way to raise Li Fei, and left a will, and after her death, the Xu family was not allowed to come to mourn and mourn. On the sixth day of October in the tenth year of Yuan You, Xu Jin gave birth to a daughter named Zhu Miaohua.

Regarding the daughter, who was less than two months apart, Li said that she gave birth before term and was born in July, and Xu also said that she gave birth before term and was born in July. These two things were like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil in the capital, and they really crackled for a while. There are believers, and there are unbelievers, and it became a topic of conversation back then.
