For dinner, four dishes and one soup, stewed mutton, steamed crucian carp, vegetarian croquettes, jade tofu, lean abalone soup. With Han Jianming's status, it is more frugal to eat four dishes and one soup with the Qiu family. However, Yuxi and Yunqing are very frugal, and the officials below naturally dare not cross them, and Han Jianming is no exception.
After the mother and son had dinner, Qiu asked with a smile, "Looking at the joy on your face, is there anything good?"
Han Jianming nodded with a smile and said, "The prince is already on his way back." This time, the northern captivity was destroyed, and the prestige of our Northwest Army was raised. ”
The Qiu clan didn't care much about national affairs, but what should be asked was to ask: "Then is it time to attack the capital next?" When the capital is defeated, she will be able to return to Beijing.
Han Jianming shook his head and said: "Now that many places have been hit by disasters, there is no way to send troops in a short period of time." Han Jianming also wants to return to Beijing. escaped in a hurry, not only lost the title and family property, but was also expelled from the clan by the Han family, and when Yunqing conquered the capital, he would be able to return to Beijing in style.
Qiu Shi sighed and said, "I hope the world can be peaceful as soon as possible." "When the world is peaceful, there will be no deaths.
Han Jianming said with a smile: "It's almost there." "When you hit the capital, the overall situation will be decided.
Qiu said with some regret: "Last time, I asked Yuxi to help you keep an eye on it and see if there is a suitable candidate in Ho City." It's a pity that Yuxi said that she was too busy and didn't have time. It was also known that Han Jianming listened to Yuxi's words the most, so the Qiu family wanted Yuxi to help. Of course, Yuxi's good vision is also an important reason.
Han Jianming never looked at the letters exchanged between the Qiu family and Yuxi, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this. Han Jianming weighed it in his heart and said, "Mother, aren't you adding to the chaos? The princess is so busy every day that her feet don't touch the ground, why do you still bother her with these trivial things? Besides, this is my housework, and it is not appropriate for the princess to take care of it." "Some things are not easy to say, because of the Ye family's toss back then, Yunqing didn't like Yuxi to interfere in the Han family's housework.
Qiu Shi was unhappy, and said in a loud voice: "What is a trivial matter? Is it a trivial matter for you to remarry? There is no housewife in this mansion, look at what it looks like." ”
Han Jianming had a headache and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to remarry, but I haven't picked a satisfactory candidate." "It's also the Ye family's matter that gives Han Jianming a big shadow, if the daughter-in-law who marries another one is the same as the Ye family or not as good as the Ye family, it is better not to marry. It is also for this reason that I have not picked a satisfactory candidate for such a long time.
Qiu said: "If you are so picky again, the daylily will be cold." "The Qiu clan wanted to hold a banquet for Han Jianming two months ago, but Han Jianming said that it was not good to hold a banquet in the Governor's Mansion outside now, so the Qiu clan could only give up.
Han Jianming's face was helpless.
Qiu Shi felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and immediately said with a cold face: "If you can't select people this year, then don't blame me for meddling." ”
Han Jianming didn't believe Qiu's vision, and hurriedly said: "There are too many things this year. In that case, I'll settle this matter by June next year, what do you think?"
Qiu said: "This is what you said, not I forced you." Also, Brother Chang'er's affairs must also be hurried, and they can't be delayed any longer. I don't know if it's delayed anymore, and when the matter between your father and son is resolved, my mother will be at ease. ”
Han Jianming said: "Brother Chang'er's marriage, I am also thinking about it. "He originally wanted Brother Chang to become a civilian, and wanted to marry him a girl from a civil official family. But after the Niu family's affairs, he hesitated.
After talking about Han Jianming and Brother Chang, Qiu talked about Qiqi's marriage again: "Qiqi's marriage is scheduled for November, and neither of us can go back." What does it look like when the elders of this wedding banquet are not around? I don't know if the Feng family will look down on it. Qiqi is the first grandchild of the Qiu family, and she grew up watching, and this relationship is also very different. Before, whether the Qiu family wanted to go back to Ho City to preside over the wedding, or Han Jianming tried his best to oppose it, she couldn't give up.
Han Jianming also felt a little sorry for his daughter, it was always a pity that he was not a father when he got married for such a big thing. Han Jianming said: "There are too many things, I can't get out, I believe the Feng family will understand." ”
Qiu said: "Ming'er, do you say that you can let the prince give Qiqi a marriage? ”
Han Jianming had a headache for Qiu's thoughts: "Mother, Qiqi has a brother, so it won't be the turn of the prince to get married." Mother, I have already written to the princess, asking her to send Qiqi out. "It's better to let Yuxi send Qiqi out of the house than to let Qihao send Qiqi out.
Qiu Shi nodded and said, "Speaking of which, we can't go back, and I don't know if Qiqi's child will be sad?"
There will definitely be sadness, after all, getting married is the most important thing in life, and the closest people are not around.
Han Jianming said: "This is also something that can't be helped. He wanted to go back, but he was too busy to walk away without touching the ground. And in his current position, he can't leave without Yuxi's approval.
As he was talking, he saw Han Hao talking outside and having something to say. Qiu said: "Busy with your go!"
Out of the main courtyard, Han Jianming asked, "What's wrong?" If anyone asks to see him, Han Hao will explain it directly.
Han Hao looked embarrassed.
Han Jianming didn't ask again, and didn't ask until he returned to his yard, "What happened?"
Han Hao lowered his head and said, "Master, the Yingxiang girl in the second master's courtyard has been pregnant for more than two months. "Yingxiang is Brother Chang'er's personal maid. Brother Chang hasn't married a wife yet, and it's not a good thing that the maid is pregnant.
Han Jianming's face suddenly turned ugly, and asked, "Can this matter be determined?" It is nothing for the personal maids of the big families to be taken in, as long as they like it, they can be raised as aunts when they become relatives and cross the road with the housemother. But to get out the child is a big taboo.
Han Hao nodded and said, "It's already decided." But very few people know about it. Master, this is all my negligence, please punish me. ”
Han Jianming waved his hand and said, "I can't blame you for this. "Although Han Hao is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, he can't take care of the affairs in the young master's courtyard. If you want to blame Brother Chang for this, you can blame Brother Chang.
There was a matter of the Niu family girl first, and now the big girl is pregnant, Han Jianming has a fire in his heart: "Give the girl medicine, and then send the person out." "This maid has also learned the rules, how can she not know that a family like them cannot have an eldest son. Knowing that you can't do it, such a scourge must not be left behind.
Although Han Jianming did not punish him, Han Hao still felt that he was derelict in his duties: "Yes, master." ”
"Go and call the obstacle of iniquity. "The things outside are enough for him to be busy, and now he has to help deal with such a bad thing, Han Jianming's mood can be imagined.
After a while, Brother Chang entered the study, and without waiting for Han Jianming to reprimand him, he knelt down first and said, "Dad, please be merciful, let Yingxiang give birth to the child!" With his father's temperament, he would definitely not leave the child if he knew this.
He thought that Brother Chang didn't know, but the girl was thinking big, but he didn't expect Brother Chang to be the one in the know. Han Jianming was immediately so angry that he grabbed the inkstone at hand and smashed it, scolding angrily: "Evil barrier, do you know what you are talking about?"
The inkstone smashed directly on Brother Chang'er's forehead, and it made Brother Chang'er's forehead bleed. Brother Chang didn't care about the pain, and pleaded: "Dad, that child is my blood and bones, I can't watch him disappear like this." ”
Han Jianming couldn't wait to strangle Brother Chang'er: "Your books have all been read into the dog's belly, don't you know that the eldest son of the concubine is the root of the chaos?" With Brother Chang'er's ability, if he doesn't have the help of his wife, how can he keep this family business after a hundred years.
Brother Chang was a little sad in his heart, although he was the eldest son of the Han family, who didn't know that his biological mother was an aunt, but it was recorded in his mother's name that he got the identity of a son-in-law. That's why he wanted to keep the child. Brother Chang said: "Dad, he is also your own grandson, you can give him a way out, right?"
Han Jianming snorted coldly and said, "This child must not be kept. If you want to blame, blame him for having a greedy mother and a father who is not sober-minded. "He has several sons, and he doesn't have to worry about having no grandchildren to hug.
At this time, Han Hao said outside: "Master, the old lady invites you to the main courtyard." Master, the old lady already knows about Yingxiang. ”
Han Jianming looked at Brother Chang'er, his eyes were full of coldness: "Even if your grandmother knows about this, it won't change anything." "He is filial to the Qiu family, but when it comes to matters of principle, even if the Qiu family comes forward, he will not back down. He was wrong once, and he will never make a second mistake.
Seeing that Brother Chang still wanted to intercede again, Han Jianming said: "If you dare to say that you want to keep this child, you will take that maid out of the Han family, I, Han Jianming, have no shortage of sons." After the two things of the Niu family and Yingxiang, he knew that Brother Chang was unusable.
Brother Chang was stunned, where did he dare to plead, he was nothing without the Han family.
When he arrived at the upper courtyard, as soon as Han Jianming entered the house, he saw a woman dressed in peach. Staring at the woman, Han Jianming asked, "Are you Yingxiang?" He was so busy every day, although he had seen Yingxiang and the other four big girls a few times, he couldn't tell these people apart.
Qiu Shi turned the Buddha bead in his hand and said with a look of compassion: "Ming'er, in the end, it is a life, just leave this child behind!"
Yingxiang didn't dare to raise her head, but just cried and begged: "Ask the lord for mercy." "When the mother-in-law came to fill the medicine, it happened that Brother Chang'er was in the yard. If it hadn't been for Brother Chang to stop her, she would have drunk the abortion pill at this time.
Brother Chang went to ask for mercy and asked Yingxiang to beg Qiu's family. Han Jianming's filial piety is famous, and Chang Ge'er thinks that as long as the Qiu family comes forward, this child can be saved.
When Han Jianming heard this, he knew that he had not admitted his mistake, and immediately shouted outside with a cold face: "Come on, drag people out and beat them to death." ”
As soon as these words fell, the people in the room all changed color, and Yingxiang was even more frightened. It wasn't until two mothers-in-law came in outside and grabbed his arms that she reacted: "The eldest lord spares his life, begs the eldest master to spare his life." ”
Qiu Shi also hurriedly said: "Ming'er, don't kill in vain. After speaking, he turned his head and scolded the two mothers-in-law.
The two mothers-in-law did not let go of Yingxiang, but looked at Han Jianming. The old lady should be respected, but the head of the family is the eldest master. offended the old lady and was reprimanded for two sentences at most, but it made the eldest lady unhappy and worried.
Han Jianming's face remained unchanged and said, "Plug her mouth, drag her out and beat her to death." ”
Qiu Shi was annoyed and shouted loudly: "Ming'er, I said that you can't make a killing, don't you even listen to my words?"
Han Jianming really didn't want to follow the Qiu clan this time, and said expressionlessly: "Mother, everything else is easy to discuss, this kind of thing must not be tolerated." ”
Yingxiang regrets it now, she knew that she had drunk the abortion pill just now. It's just that the child is gone, and now he has to put himself in it. Yingxiang cried and said, "Old lady, old lady help......"
Seeing this, Li's mother hurriedly stepped forward and plugged Yingxiang's mouth with a handkerchief to prevent her from screaming again. The master of this family is the eldest master, and since he has decided to ask for Yingxiang's life, the old lady can't stop it. can't provoke the old lady and the old man to get along because of a welcome incense.
Seeing Li's mother's behavior, Qiu was so angry that he almost fainted: "Even you want to go against me?"
Mother Li said: "Old lady, have you forgotten what happened to Aunt Rong back then? If you let Yingxiang give birth to this child, how will the future second grandmother deal with herself?" Aunt Rong was pregnant before Qiu's, and she was still pregnant with a male fetus, or was Mrs. Tai at that time made her miscarry the fetus.
These things are too long ago, so far away that Mother Li forgot them without reminding Qiu.
Thinking of the past, Qiu Shi was silent, and then said to Han Jianming: "In the end, it is a life, just give her medicine and send it out!"
Han Jianming agreed very happily this time: "Okay." "Sometimes it's more painful to be alive than to die.
Han Hao personally led someone to pour medicine on Yingxiang, and then married her to an old man in his thirties who was too poor to marry a daughter-in-law. As for what happened to Yingxiang, no one knows.
Because of Yingxiang's matter, Qiu's didn't eat that day, and he has been chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. As for Brother Chang, he was directly locked up by Han Jianming.
Han Jianming was very annoyed and said to Mr. Zhao: "Brainless thing." "Although this matter is a bit faceless, it is not a secret, and it is good that Mr. Zhao knows about it. The main reason is that Han Jianming doesn't want to hold back his illness and wants to find someone to talk about it.
Mr. Zhao has been by Han Jianming's side for so many years, and he can be regarded as growing up watching Brother Chang: "Master, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and there is no female protagonist in the house, which is inevitably messy." "It's okay in Ho City, Lu Xiu takes care of the inside and out properly. But here in Jiangnan, there is no justifiable principal, and it is inevitable that there will be some chaos. Coupled with the fact that the Qiu family is such a bodhisattva, those maids will have a big mind after a long time.
After this incident, Han Jianming also felt that it was time to marry a wife. In this way, you don't have to be busy with outside affairs, and you have to take care of these messy things in the house.
Han Jianming snorted and said, "Originally, I wanted to set a family affair for him here in Jiangnan, but now it seems that it is safer to go back to Ho City to find it." "There is no big future for this soft son to enter the office, so it is safer to choose a powerful daughter-in-law who can support him.
Mr. Zhao said: "Master, the second master is the future principal of the Han family, and his marriage still has to be cautious. If you can, it's better to ask the princess to palm her eyes. "It must not be bad to be recognized by the princess.
Han Jianming sighed and said, "Let my younger brothers and sisters help each other first, and then ask the princess to palm their eyes." "It would be nice if Brother Hua was the eldest son, and he wouldn't have to be so annoyed. Therefore, marrying a wife is not a disaster for three generations.
