At this moment, Jiang Junma listened to the question of the county lord of Nanhua, and said: "In fact, the county lord also knows that I am an idle person, and I can't give my son any title, and Wu'er and Heng'er will have to earn it themselves in the future." In this way, it is extremely important to have a capable virtuous helper. Heng'er has a talent to learn, but he has a lively temperament and doesn't know much about the world, so he should find a-"

Before he finished speaking, the two eyebrows of the Nanhua County Lord were about to stand in a straight line: "It's time to find a doctor girl?" You're not confused! Heng'er is the son of the county lord, and the emperor and the queen mother are both related to him, why did they fall to marry a doctor's daughter? ”

She was about to lose her sense of proportion when she met her son, her voice was sharp and harsh, and she couldn't care about anything when she said it excitedly, and pointed to Jiangjun Ma and said, "I think you are grateful to her, and you want to repay your son with your son, right?" I sue you, this is my son, and it is not your turn to arrange it, I have the final say on his marriage! Is it because he has a low-born father that he has to marry a low-born daughter-in-law? My son is not so self-willing! ”

Coral was shocked when he heard it, and he tried to dissuade him several times but couldn't interject it, until the lord of Nanhua even said the cheap words, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was over.

Sure enough, Jiang Junma's face was already very ugly, and it was not until the Nanhua County Lord finished shouting that he nodded: "That is the case, why didn't the county lord find a high-ranking son-in-law in the first place, but chose me willingly?" ”

The lord of Nanhua was actually not talking about him, but he didn't have the door in his mouth when he was excited, and he finished shouting and drinking, and it was too late to regret it at this time. Jiang Taohua is a medical girl, but Jiang Xi herself is still famous, and her family is no longer listed to practice medicine, at most she is a businessman. And Jiang Junma is from a military family, and when it comes to half a catty, he may not be as good as Jiang Xi.

"I, I'm not-" Nanhua County Lord said, I don't know how to explain, I can't help but sprinkle my anger on Taohua, "It must be the Jiang family girl who seduces Heng'er!" I knew that she had a ghost idea in Wuxi. What did you take the three bridges, and took Heng'er out in the middle of the night. Now that I've entered the capital again, I'm glad like you've gotten in Jiujiangkou again, but I'm really capable! ”

Jiang Junma was about to refute, and Jiang Heng, who had slipped over to listen to the news, couldn't help but jump in the door: "Mother, how can you say that about the Jiang family?" You were cured of your illness and you still have the credit of Miss Jiang. Besides, I was going to take the Three Bridges, and at that time at Jiujiangkou, she didn't know who her father was! What if she's a doctor? She is capable and has a good heart, not to mention anything else, how many people did she save in this time to treat the epidemic in the two counties? I heard that someone in Lantian gave her a living shrine, saying that she was the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva! ”

The county lord of Nanhua was choked lightly, and it took a long time to say: "What are you talking about!" What kind of bodhisattva is reincarnated, this is also nonsense? Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, how can you speak! ”

Jiang Heng stiffened his neck and said: "Since you said that it was your parents' order, then before your father was still your mother, my father thought that Miss Jiang was good, why didn't you listen?" In the case of a woman who follows her father at home and her husband when she marries, should you also be a husband? ”

The county lord of Nanhua was so angry that his head was dizzy, and he was reluctant to scold his son, so he turned to Jiang Junma with trembling hands: "You told Heng'er about this?" You, you're really going to turn the sky upside down! Are you two going to join forces and be angry with me? Wu'er insisted on marrying a Wen family at the beginning, but now she has only given birth to a girl. That's it, anyway, the Wen family is also from a family of eunuchs. Now it's even better, I'm going to marry a doctor's girl, you, you're really going to be angry with me! Saying that, I only felt that I had nowhere to cry because of the grievances I suffered, and I couldn't help but shed tears, "I am angry with the queen in the palace, just to please the queen mother, so as to pave the way for you, you are good, you will take revenge, and the family is a white-eyed wolf!" ”

She was angry, and she couldn't control her mouth as soon as she got up. Jiang Junma looked at her for a moment, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Jiang Heng chased him out: "Father-"

Jiang Junma stroked his hair and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say. Jiang Heng looked at him expectantly: "Father, I really think Miss Jiang is very good. ”

"Father also thinks Miss Jiang is very good." Jiang Junma looked at his son with some distress, "But, do you know how many grievances your sister-in-law has suffered?" ”

Jiang Heng thought about it and felt unable to answer. After all, there is a difference between men and women, of course he doesn't know much about Wen's life, but he knows that his mother doesn't like his sister-in-law, this time his sister-in-law gave birth to Sister Bao, and he also knows what his mother's attitude is, and he must have been wronged.

Jiang Jun Ma sighed: "Look, your mother doesn't like Miss Jiang, if you have to marry, your father can also propose marriage for you." But would your mother be willing? She's going to make a fuss. As long as she makes trouble, the Jiang family knows that she is unwilling, so will the Jiang family still marry Miss Jiang in? Even if she marries in the end, your mother doesn't like her and won't make her angry? ”

He looked at his son's somewhat dazed face, and he couldn't bear it, but he had to say this: "Did you marry your beloved girl just to make her angry?" ”

"I, I'll protect her."

"How to protect it? Do you want to stay in the inner chamber all day and watch her and do nothing? ”

Jiang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "What if I take her out to live?" ”

"How do you get out?" Jiang Junma asked softly, "My parents are here, and I don't separate the family." ”

"But I can get out of office!" Jiang Heng's eyes lit up, "I'm an official outside, so she doesn't have to be angry." ”

A smile appeared in Jiang Junma's eyes: "But you are not an official now." ”

Jiang Heng puffed up his chest: "Next year will be the autumn festival, and the year after tomorrow will be the spring festival, if I can be promoted to the jinshi, I can seek to be released." "Jinshi can make up for the lack of county orders, even if the place is not too good, he can also leave the capital with his wife.

"Hmm." Jiang Junma smiled, "If you still want to marry Miss Jiang after you get the Jinshi, your father can propose marriage for you." ”

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up: "Thank you, father, I'll go study!" "I turned around and ran.

Jiang Junma looked at his brisk back, and he was already gradually fading away from the childishness of a teenager, and the appearance of a young man. He nodded with satisfaction - his son has indeed grown up, whether he can marry the Jiang family girl in the end or not, this is a good thing.

"Master-" A soft voice came from the side, and Hanzhang walked over with a distressed face, "Is the county lord angry with the lord again?" ”

"It's nothing, but there are some disputes because of Heng'er's family." Jiang Junma waved his hand, "Let her be quiet, I'll go to the study." ”

Hanzhang followed him step by step: "The slaves and maids have just heard it, and the county lord said that the master-"

Jiang Junma waved his hand again: "Don't talk about this." ”

Hanzhang lowered his head. The lord of Nanhua is married low, so she has always been commanding in the Jiang family, which reflects her thoughtfulness and gentleness. But even if Jiang Junma was angry with the lord of Nanhua, he refused to mention it in front of her. Hanzhang understood it before, so he always just waited silently.

But since the last flower viewing party, she keenly felt that Jiang Junma was closer to the lord of Nanhua, but she seemed to be a little estranged from her. She knew it was because she had said the wrong thing last time, but it didn't work out if it went on like this, she had to have a child. But Jiang Junma didn't seem to resist the intention of the lord of Nanhua to give her a child, what should I do?

In such a hurry, she couldn't help but want to take today's opportunity to add a little contradiction between the two of them, anyway, the county lord of Nanhua had already inserted more than one thorn in Jiang Jun's horse's heart, she just needed to pluck this thorn again and let it pierce a little deeper.

Who knew that even so, Jiang Junma still didn't let her talk about the Nanhua County Lord. If these are not opportunities, then what are them?

Of course, the Jiang family is not the only one who is worried about their children's affairs, and Governor Cui is also full of troubles when he returns home from the palace.

"The prince refuses?" Cui Youwan's face turned a little pale, "Father, my daughter didn't forget the great work, it's because she hasn't done it yet, if she takes the big work, will she really curse her?" Shen Shu's words are tantamount to saying that she is not mourning for her deceased sister at all, and she has no sisterly feelings. This is really not a good reputation for a girl.

Governor Cui was not angry, and when he heard the words, he said: "Your sister is dead, what kind of curse is not cursed." After a pause, he said, "But no matter what, the incident caused by this rebellious girl is not a big deal, at least we follow the will of the first emperor, and our sincerity has arrived, which is beyond reproach." Even if it is ...... in the future? It should also make sense. ”

If the eldest daughter dies, she is allowed to marry the younger daughter, and if someone says that they want to repent of their marriage, it is unreasonable.

Mrs. Cui also breathed a sigh of relief, spied on her husband's face and said carefully: "So, is King Anjun refusing to get married on schedule?" In this way, it's better for us to forget it, Youwan just doesn't have to marry. ”

Governor Cui felt a little pity in his heart, but the youngest daughter was really not old enough, and said in a deep voice: "The prince said that he would guard the rebel girl for a year, which also gave our family enough face." If you really don't want to ......"

I do! Cui Youwan almost screamed, but she swallowed the words that came to her lips, lowered her head and said softly: "My daughter obeys her father's decision." It's just that although the prince is willing to guard his sister at this time, if he marries someone else a year later, where will he remember his sister at that time? After all, people have not passed through the door, and seriously speaking, the prince has nothing to do with our family. ”

This is said to Cui Zhifu's heart, if Cui Xiuwan is really dead, he can find a way to let the tablet pass through the door, and the person will be buried in the royal mausoleum. But now there was no one in the coffin, but he didn't dare to do it.

Mrs. Cui was in a dilemma, and seeing that her husband didn't speak, she hurriedly said: "The prince of Hengzhu County said that he would keep it for a year, and he will not discuss his relatives again in this year, if there is anything, let's talk about it after this year." ”

Governor Cui frowned. Although Shen Shu said that he wanted to keep it for a year, he couldn't get married during this year, but it didn't prevent him from discussing his marriage in private. After thinking for a while, he still said: "I can't leave Fuzhou, but you still live in Beijing with Youwan." One is Jing'er next year, and the other is that it is better to walk around with the county king's mansion from time to time. The coffin of the rebellious woman, I immediately sent someone back to my hometown. ”

Cui Youwan lowered her head and listened, and sighed softly. It seems that her father still has the intention of getting married, as long as her father thinks like this, she has hope. But before that, she had to prevent Shen Shu from discussing with others. Thinking of the tall girl, with a confident and cold expression on her face at all times, her hands hidden in her sleeves quietly clenched into fists.

When the Cui family was worried, Shen Shu had already left the palace and returned to the county palace. Wu was waiting for him in the house, and when he saw him come in, he said: "I have already checked, and the Langzhong who escaped is the Zhao Langzhong who the prince went to the West Market to invite, but the subordinates found a suspicious point after asking the neighbors: According to the Cui family, they went to invite Zhao Langzhong at noon, and Zhao Langzhong went to the Cui family to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine before returning to the West Market, how could it be afternoon, but from the first night, someone in the left neighbor of the Zhao family got up at night, but heard that the Zhao family was packing up things, and the next night, they disappeared. ”

Shen Shu raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, either the Zhao family is an unpredictable prophet who has long expected that people will be killed, or the content of the Cui family's report does not match the reality." ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "Or, Governor Cui may not have entered Beijing that morning." It's a pity that we didn't expect the Cui family to use this trick, and we couldn't catch up with Zhao Langzhong for a while. ”

"There's no rush to this." Shen Shu waved his hand in a good mood, "The question is, is Cui Xiuwan really dead?" Can the Cui family really do this to their daughter? ”

Wu Zheng disagreed: "What's this." The subordinates have seen a lot. The woman lost her virginity, and the family was afraid of losing face, so a white silk was quietly hanged to death, and then reported a sudden illness, who would investigate deeply? The prince only saw that the Hou Ye and his wife cherished their children, how could he ever see that ruthless? But the Cui family wants to remarry the second girl, what does the emperor say? ”

Shen Shu's eyes darkened slightly: "I see what the emperor meant, and I wanted to agree at first." After all, the Cui family has been in Fuzhou for many years, and they have a good relationship with General Lu, so the emperor still wants to appease. ”

Wu Zheng sighed: "Lord, I said a long time ago, the emperor is still the emperor after all." If he can endure it for so long, he must be a ruthless person, not to mention that the prince is not his own brother after all, even if he is a compatriot - the heavenly family has no family affection, it may not be impossible to sacrifice. ”

Shen Shu was silent for a moment and smiled: "But the emperor still didn't agree after all." ”

Wu Zheng said sharply: "That's because the prince didn't say anything to death, he only said that he would keep it for the Cui family for a year." And what about after that year? Has the prince ever thought about what to do? ”

"A year later—" Shen Shu smiled and looked out the window leisurely, "A year later, I want to marry Miss Jiang." ”

Wu Zheng opened his mouth and couldn't close it: "Lord Wang, you, who are you talking about?" ”

"Miss Jiang." Shen Shu turned his gaze back to look at him, "Jiang Taohua, Miss Jiang San." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment before he could speak: "Lord Wang, this, this doesn't seem appropriate...... Although Master Jiang San was named a pharmacist, and Miss Jiang is now famous, the Jiang family's family background ...... "It's okay to be a side concubine, where can a concubine be a concubine?"

Shen Shu put away his smile: "What about the Cui family's family background?" ”

"The Cui family's family background is not successful." Wu Zheng said categorically, "The Cui family has no foundation, it is just a prefect, otherwise the family education would not be so loose, and it would have caused her daughter to lose her virginity before marriage." But this is the first emperor's marriage, and no one can just do it. Now that the prince is fortunate to be able to get rid of this marriage, it is time to find a lady from a high door again, which is the right way. ”

"Which lady of the high gate?" Shen Shu asked rhetorically, "Can the lady of Gaomen give a prescription to stop the bleeding?" Can the lady of Gaomen see the pepper in the Xingjiao Temple and think about the Northwest soldiers? Can the lady of Gaomen go to the epidemic area to cure the epidemic, can the people of the two counties want to set up a shrine for her? ”

"Lord Wang-" Wu Zheng felt that this was a little difficult to refute, "These are two different things...... Even if it is Mrs. Hou, it is also a famous general's family in the northwest...... "The marquis of Zhenbei marries her, which is equivalent to holding all the Northwest Army firmly in his own hands, this is Mrs. Hou's family background." But the Jiang family ......

"Needless to say." Shen Shu waved his hand, "I will write back to the northwest today to inform my uncle and aunt of this." ”

Wu Zheng felt a headache and died: "Lord Wang, the lady of the high gate mentioned by his subordinates actually refers to - Lord Wang, if you can get support in the court now, it will be stronger than anything else, and it will also be good for the northwest." ”

Shen Shu looked at him for a while, and asked softly, "What is the difference between Mr. and the emperor when he says this?" ”

Wu Zheng was suddenly choked, and after a while, his face was red. He just thought that the emperor wanted to use Shen Shu's family affairs as a bargaining chip in order to win over people, and now according to him, wouldn't he also use Shen Shu's family affairs to make bargaining chips for the northwest?

"My subordinates were confused for a while......"

Shen Shu smiled slightly: "I know that Mr. is for my good." However, I also want to marry someone I like. ”

"That's ...... Miss Jiang?"

Shen Shu pondered for a moment: "You are right, I should ask her what she means first." ”

Wu Zheng came out of the house a little dejected, walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, and was stopped by two figures after only a few steps, Dieyi opened his eyes and asked repeatedly: "Sir, what's going on?" How did Miss Cui die? So what about the prince's relatives now? ”

Cicada Yi followed behind her, also with a worried face.

Wu Zheng nodded: "The Cui family's family affairs are gone." The meaning of the prince is that the first emperor pointed out to him the concubine, and it will take a year to talk about the marriage. ”

Dieyi looked disappointed: "I thought the prince would be able to get married soon." She drooped her head, "The prince is twenty years old, and it will be twenty-one if it is delayed for another year, when will he have children?" Thinking about it, he was indignant, "Could it be that the Queen Mother sent someone to kill her?" I know that the Queen Mother doesn't want the prince to marry a wife and have children at all! ”

Wu Zheng said half-funny and half-sighing: "What you said is true, but these words can't be said, you know?" ”

Dieyi shrunk her neck and said, "The slave is just talking at home...... However, what about the prince's relatives? Even if you get married a year later, it's time to quietly discuss it first. ”

"That's what you said." Wu Zheng sighed, "It's time to discuss it first." Lord Wang, I already have an idea in my heart. ”

Dieyi's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Wu Zheng and didn't let go: "Sir, you said that the prince already has a girl he likes?" Which one is it from? ”

Since it was concluded that Cui Xiuwan was deliberately cold to Shen Shu, no one in the county king's mansion liked her, especially Dieyi. Now that people are dead, they naturally don't mourn, but they are □□excited when they hear that there is a new princess candidate.

Cicada Yi originally had a melancholy face, but now that she heard this, her face changed slightly, and although she didn't speak, she listened attentively.

Wu Zheng stroked the handful of goatee on his chin and just smiled, and waited for Dieyi to ask anxiously before he said leisurely: "This can't be said now." If it doesn't work, won't it hurt the reputation of the girl's family? Can't say it, don't say it......" staggered away.

Dieyi glared at his back and stomped his feet, and said hatefully: "Turn around and shave your goatee!" He turned his head and smiled again, "Sister, did you hear me?" The prince has a girl he likes, great! This big girl Cui has finally done a good thing. ”

Cicada Yi was not as happy as her, so she only hummed. provoked Dieyi to look at her suspiciously: "Sister is not happy? ”

Cicada Yi cheered up and poked a finger at her head: "Do you want to be like you when you're happy?" Besides, Miss Cui is also a quasi-princess after all, and now that you are dead, you are dancing like this, wouldn't it be troublesome for the prince to let outsiders know? Could it be that the prince was not satisfied with the marriage set by the first emperor, so he wished that someone would die? ”

Dieyi stuck out her tongue and quickly wiped the joy off her face, but she couldn't help it in her mouth: "I just think it's good that the prince can finally marry the girl he likes." In the future, just like the Hou Ye and his wife, raise their eyebrows and have children, when the time comes, I will serve the little masters......"

She said with a look of longing, but Cicada Yi had already lost her mind, just absent-mindedly perfunctory, until Dieyi said: "It's a pity that Mr. Wu refuses to say which girl...... " She seemed to have just woken up, and replied casually: "Then why don't you ask the prince to go?" ”

Dieyi sighed, raised her feet and was about to go to Shen Shu's room, took two steps and stopped, and said embarrassedly: "Sister, you just said last time that you had to obey the rules, and I almost forgot about it again." Since the prince didn't say it, it wouldn't be my turn to ask, I just had to wait for the princess to pass through the door. Then he went away rejoicing.

Cicada Yi stared at her back, and it took a while to squeeze out two words from between her teeth: "Stupid!" "I don't follow the rules when I should be, and I remember the rules when I shouldn't. After hesitating for a moment, she still went to Shen Shu's room by herself.

Shen Shu was writing a letter. Since leaving the northwest, he has written more than one letter to his uncle and aunt, only today's letter is written like a little rabbit in his heart, soft and apprehensive, writing and writing, the corners of his lips unconsciously show a smile.

When Cicada Yi came in, she saw this smile, and her heart couldn't help but tighten: "Lord Wang, why did Mr. Wu leave, the slave maid just made tea......"

"Put it here." Shen Shu didn't care, "Mr. Wu went to settle the account." ”

Cicada Yi naturally walked over to polish the ink: "The prince wrote a letter to the Hou Ye and his wife again?" ”

Shen Shu subconsciously covered his hand and coughed lightly: "I'm almost done writing, I don't have to grind the ink anymore." ”

Cicada Yi's heart suddenly sank again, and he hurriedly put down the ink strip: "That slave is going to do needlework." This year, I think it is going to be the New Year in the capital again, and the clothes of Mr. Wu and several guards must also be prepared. ”

Shen Shu nodded absentmindedly: "You go and arrange it." ”

Cicada Yi had to go out of the door, and when he looked back, Shen Shu had already written a letter with a smile on his face......
