Chapter Forty-Nine: Concealment
Aunt Yin Zhang Luo was scared by the Jiang family's servants to clean up the mess, at least to remove the incense burner that Jiang had stepped on with one foot, the incense burner with footprints was too infiltrating, and everyone was weighing the strength and kung fu of the fourth lady.
Even if the fourth lady is not good at words, as long as she has terrifying strength, who dares to choke in front of the fourth lady?
As long as you are thick-skinned, it is innocuous to be scolded, and being beaten is not something that everyone can bear, especially the fourth lady with the divine power of the gods.
Fang Cai Wen asked Wang Yixin to divorce his wife, and as soon as the words came out, she regretted it, it was not cost-effective to divorce Jiang's family...... The reputation of divorced wife is not good, even if Wang Yixin is an immortal, but his career has been tepid, which nobleman in power is willing to marry his favored daughter to Wang Yixin as a continuation?
If it weren't for the favored daughter, the Guanwen Marquis royal family wouldn't look down on it.
An emperor's favored minister like the Jiang family, the Wang family can't afford to offend, and the sensible nobles are not willing to spoil Xiningbo's resentment, even if the Jiang family is divorced, the children born to the Jiang family are still there, how could Xiningbo Jiang Dayong watch his granddaughter being abused by her stepmother?
It is not easy to be Wang Yixin's wife, and it is even more difficult to be his stepwife.
If Wang Yixin agreed, Wen immediately advised Wang Yixin not to ruthlessly abandon his wife, the Wang family has no tradition of divorce from his wife, and even Wen will pretend to be tolerant to forgive Jiang's temporary gaffe...... But Fourth Master Wang didn't think of divorcing his wife at all.
Wen felt uncomfortable in his heart.
She was bullied by the Jiang family, but the most distressed son did not react, and did not blame the Jiang family, the Wen family was 'betrayed' and "hurt" by her beloved son, and the more she cried while holding Jin Sun, the more aggrieved she became, and she babbled that the Jiang family was not good. accused Wang Yixin of being unfilial, and cried and ordered Wang Yixin to divorce his wife......
After getting the news that the Jiang family was making a big fuss. Wen's daughter-in-law hurried over, and when they entered the door, they could no longer see the powerful flat incense burner. Hearing and seeing with one's own eyes are always two different concepts, so Nalan and others surrounded the Wen family and explained the Wen family, although they did not dare to speak ill of the Jiang family openly, but Wen Zou Zou's words contained contempt for Jiang's background.
Aunt Yin behaved very well about current affairs, and before the ladies arrived, she presided over the overall situation like a lady, ordered her subordinates, and motioned to her children to comfort the old lady. After Wen's serious daughter-in-law arrived, she retreated behind Wang Yixin in a low-key, calm, and responsible manner, never saying a word to grab credit, and accompanied Wang Yixin obediently and meekly.
At another time, Aunt Yin's move will inevitably get a response from Wang Yixin, but it's a pity...... At present, Wang Yixin was so crying by Wen that he had a headache, and he was at a loss for what to do about Jiang's sudden outburst. The deepest memory is not that Jiang stepped on the incense burner, but what Jiang said later.
He looked down at his perfect hands, his knobby fingers slowly clenching into fists, and the circumstances of their first encounter were already blurred. Deliberately forgotten by him.
Wang Yixin didn't want to remember being forced by his grandfather to get close to Chiang.
Wang Zhiyao glanced at Jiang before leaving, and that's it. Wang Yixin's persistence and belief, as well as his perfect model of the warriors, were shattered.
He's like a clown. The most hypocritical hypocrites.
This is a huge blow to Wang Yixin, who has always regarded himself very highly.
Since Wang Yixin is known as the legacy of the scholars, his words and deeds are at least respected.
His paintings can be sold for thousands of gold.
His poetry is highly praised. His handwriting is regarded by many people as a copybook for practicing calligraphy.
Although he doesn't often play chess, as long as he plays seriously, the famous chess kings in the capital have to bow to the wind, as for playing the piano and blowing the flute...... He can also play the sound of nature.
Wang Yixin is talented, good-looking, has no intention of fame and fortune, and only wants to be free for a lifetime, why does Wang Zhiyao look at him with disdain?
Wen was surrounded by his daughter-in-law, getting more and more energetic, making a pair of Wang Yixin and not repudiating his wife, she moved out of the Hou Mansion, or split the family, the eldest daughter-in-law Nalan said Wang Yixin with the eldest sister-in-law's shelf: "You also have to discipline the four brothers and sisters, don't always be reluctant to talk about her, and indulge her to the point of being a faint mother-in-law, if this matter spreads, the Hou Mansion will have no face......
Wang Yixin came back to his senses from his hard thoughts, and politely apologized to the Nalan clan and the others.
"Mother, don't be angry, please be considerate of your son once, your son can't divorce his wife, and besides, your son won't do anything to ruin the royal family."
"You ......"
Wen's was angry with his son, who wants you to divorce your wife? Won't you say a few words of comfort? 's heart is blocked, and he has raised a fourth child, how many grievances he has to suffer.
Is this a filial son? Or are you here to collect debts?
Wang Yixin lifted his shirt and knelt in front of Wen's family, scaring everyone next to him, is this the rhythm of separating the family?
The Guanwen Marquis Mansion can have no sons, but it can't be without the immortal couple.
If there were no four rooms, the strength of the Guanwen Marquis Mansion would immediately drop by a few grades, and even the current dignity would have to be lost.
"If a mother cherishes her son, forget about today's affairs, ma'am...... I will advise, as Yin said, Jiang's temperament is already hot, and I cherish Brother Chun, don't say more about her in the future, there is a way that the country is easy to change, her nature is difficult to change, her temperament has been cultivated, and it is not easy to change, why should you be angry with her for trivial things? Since you let Jiang enter the door, you should worry more about it and teach her slowly. ”
Wang Yixin's eyes were clear, and he seemed very sincere, "You are a good mother-in-law, you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, today's events are spreading, even if you are reasonable, others will say that your family education is not strict, after all, the Jiang family has been married to his son for more than ten years, and you have not trained your daughter-in-law well over the years, and others will criticize you for not being kind enough......"
"You mean that not only was I bullied by your daughter-in-law, but I also had to help your daughter-in-law hide it from outsiders? Do you have to say good things about your daughter-in-law in front of outsiders? Wen was trembling with anger, patted Luohan, and asked angrily, "Are you still my son?" ”
"I am also thinking about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, but if I don't cultivate inside, my father and brother's face is gloomy. Haven't you seen it yet? Which of His Majesty's favorite ministers is not a husband and wife? A family of brothers working together to support each other? This is true of Dingguo Gong, and the same is true of Xiningbo. Now the Wang family is really not suitable to make jokes about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting each other. ”
“……”
Wen's tears this time were 'sincere'.
Wang Yixin got up after kowtowing solemnly, and said to Aunt Yin and Wang Zhixuan, "You stay with your mother." Brother Han, I won't let you go to the township test this time. But you can't delay your schoolwork, and you can't stay in the back house for long. In a few days, you move out of your mother's courtyard, and I will arrange a place for you to study in the outer study. ”
No matter how dissatisfied Wang Duanhan is, he can only say yes.
"What? You're going to take my grandson away from me? Wen hugged Wang Duanhan and refused to let go, "No, he lives with me, and he didn't win Xiao Sanyuan?" ”
"Brother Han is my son, my arrangement will never let him be harmed, you cherish Brother Han too much, what do you think of your brother's sister-in-law? The eldest brother is the one who inherits the title. The grandson of the long house is the backbone patriarch of the Wang family. If you cherish Brother Han too much, you may hurt him. ”
As long as Wang Yixin makes a decision, few people can change him, and his move is very in line with the rules of the system, Wen's long house chief grandson does not hurt, only hurts Wang Duanhan, what do others think?
It was nothing before, after all, Wang Duanhan was still young, and the prince and his wife would not think much about it even if they were unhappy. Wang Yixin didn't want to make a fuss about the brothers fighting against each other.
He never thought of succeeding his brother to the throne of the Marquis.
Moreover, he did not want his son to be raised in the hands of a woman in the back house, although Wen was his biological mother, but sometimes Wang Yixin did not believe in Wen's ability.
Nalan Shi, the wife of the prince, pursed her lips tightly, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly. She had wanted to say this for a long time, no matter how painful the fourth room was, she couldn't ignore the eldest grandson.
Once the Hou Ye passed away, it was the long house that supported the Wen family. The one who inherited the title of the royal family and most of the belongings was also a long house.
Wang Yixin didn't seem to see Wen's reluctance, and said to Wang Duanhan again: "Today, you stay with your grandmother first." Tomorrow you gather your things and move them out. ”
"Yes, father."
"I'm for your good. Later...... You look at Brother Chun more and urge him to make progress. ”、
"Yes, father." Wang Duanhan promised: "My son will definitely love my brother, and my father can rest assured." ”
Seeing that everything was arranged, Wang Yixin bowed his hand to the Wen family, who was like ashes: "You rest, my son is gone." ”
He drifted away and made Wen's so angry that he only saw the breath out, but not the breath, the daughters-in-law were busy, and the Wen family eased up a little, the old tears were full of tears and aggrieved speechless, Jiang certainly offended her, but the son's words made Wen's heart cry blood, "What's the use of raising a son?" ”
Wang Yixin stood on the righteousness, if the Wen family did not agree, she would be an ignorant woman, she had always regarded herself as a virtuous old lady, how could she tolerate others to misunderstand her?
……
Jiang Shi returned to his house, instructed Qi's mother to prepare a meal, and stroked Wang Duanchun's emaciated cheek distressedly, "Brother Chun, can you forgive my mother?" ”
"Mother......" Wang Duanchun didn't seem to have woken up from a series of shocks, and the traditional etiquette he had received told him that Jiang's threat to his mother-in-law was wrong, but Jiang's did all this for him.
If he had been a little more competitive, had done a little better in his schoolwork, and had achieved good grades in Taishan Academy, maybe there would have been no conflict today, and his father and grandmother would have liked him as much as they liked Wang Duanhan.
"Don't upset your grandmother for your son, it's your son who doesn't let the elders down."
Wang Zhiyao watched from the side, Wang Duanchun's inferiority complex and cowardice had been cultivated...... He didn't know how much of a blow this sentence gave to the Jiang family.
Sure enough, Jiang's crying became a tearful person, and Wang Duanchun didn't even understand why Jiang's was crying, and said again and again: "My son is not good, my mother should teach my son a lesson." ”
"Brother Chun'er......"
Wang Zhiyao took the initiative to hold Wang Duanchun's arm, "My brother just came back, and my mother said forgiveness, how can my brother understand." ”
Jiang looked at Wang Zhiyao with red crying eyes, I don't know when her daughter has become her backbone, and it seems that her daughter can solve anything.
Wang Zhiyao put her brother's hand on Jiang's hand, and put her three hands on top of each other, "As long as you understand, my brother will not be confused anymore, we are a family, we don't need to say forgiveness, who is sorry for whom, with you and grandfather here, can you still make my brother suffer again?" ”
Wang Duanchun looked at Jiang, and then at his sister, remembering that before he left the capital, the little sister didn't like to mention her grandfather, a farewell for two years, the little sister changed a lot, he didn't quite understand why his mother was sad and cried, why the little sister kicked over the incense burner, but as a brother, he relied on his sister to help, he was so useless.
Thinking in his heart, Wang Duanchun's face naturally brought out, and said weakly: "Mother, I'm ...... A big mistake was made in Taishan Academy. It is inevitable to be reprimanded by your grandmother, if not for your father's face. I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to survive the punishment of the teacher, so don't lose your temper with your father for the sake of your son. The father loves his son a lot. ”
"Brother, let's eat first, okay?"
Wang Zhiyao interrupted Wang Duanchun's words in a brisk tone, "You are in a hurry, you must be hungry, the meals that my mother asked her to prepare today are all your favorite foods." ”
Wang Duanchun nodded stiffly, as if he couldn't bear to live up to Jiang's wishes, "I'll go freshen up first, and I'll come back later." ”
Mother Qi was busy serving Young Master Chun to freshen up. Jiang covered his eyes with his hands, not wanting his daughter to see his tears of remorse...... Hao's son was raised like this, and Jiang's heart hurt more at this time than cutting with a knife.
"Take your time, my brother will always understand."
"Yao'er doesn't need to persuade me, I'm not worthy of being a mother."
Jiang's pain, Wang Zhiyao understands, any explanation, it is better to let Wang Duanchun cheer up again.
No self-confidence, cowardice. The inferior and rigid Wang Duanchun is very distressing, and it is not easy to change his established character, but it is no matter how difficult it is. Wang Zhiyao can't give up a dignified life for Wang Duanchun.
"Yao'er, what do you think I should do? How do you make your brother understand? Do you want your grandfather to discipline him? ”
"Nope." Wang Zhiyao shook her head, "Grandpa has a hot temperament. After seeing his brother, my grandfather still had to be angry? Besides, my grandfather has always been mainly a wrestling drill for male babies. My brother can't turn the corner now, and he was taught a simple and rough lesson by his grandfather. Maybe even the last vestige of confidence has vanished. ”
Wang Duanchun's current state is like a foreign body that has strayed into another population, desperately learning from the people around him, but it is not a breed, how can he learn well?
Jiang Jiaerlang grew up under his grandfather's training since he was a child, and they are already very familiar with each other, Wang Duanchun suddenly changed from literature to martial arts, and he was not adaptable, and then found that his cousins were stronger than him, and he would shrink into the corner.
"How? I can't watch Brother Chun go on like this......"
"I'll figure it out, I'll help him find a good role model to learn, as long as my brother regains his self-confidence, whether it's practicing martial arts or practicing literature, it's not a problem, my brother is not a stupid person."
"Looking for whom?" Jiang filtered in his mind the candidates that Wang Zhiyao might choose, "The Kong family is not suitable...... Besides, let your brother study with one of the two heroes in the capital, I'm afraid that he won't learn well and want to deviate again. ”
"I haven't met Kong Gongzi, and I don't know his temperament, how can I find him? And he is not fit to be a role model for his brother, he is not proud enough! ”
"You...... I won't think about using Gu Sanshao again. ”
"There's no one better suited than him, you think, if he doesn't know what the world is saying about his identity? But have you ever seen him have low self-esteem and self-pity? I'm afraid that in front of His Majesty, he is doing his own thing, his pride is not born, nor is it all cultivated by the emperor, I think he has worked hard to practice his skills, proving that no one is as good as him...... No one in the world is more proud and confident than him. ”
Even if others criticize his origin, who dares to say a word in front of him?
If you don't rely on your ability, you can also suppress you with 'fighting father', and if you are not convinced, you can also find your father.
With Wang Duanchun's temperament, he is mixed with Gu Sanshao all day long, and he can't raise Gu Sanshao's character as the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and his third child, as long as he makes his brother confident and proud, Wang Zhiyao will be satisfied.
"Can Gu Sanshao listen to you? I heard that the Duke of Dingguo ordered him not to move. ”
"Leave this alone, I'll figure it out."
Wang Zhiyao even thought about asking Gu Sanshao to help get some imperial examination questions...... If you have resources, you don't need to be a fool, and when your father can't be trusted, you have to find a big tree by yourself.
Jiang Shi said uneasily: "You ask him for help, what if he makes excessive requests?" ”
"Will I go up and ask him to help?" Wang Zhiyao was a little helpless to the Jiang family, "We are of different genders, different statuses, and different means, you have to understand that women have many ways to deal with men, how to let him take the initiative to help is called ability." ”
Between her and Gu Tianze, they have always been mostly used, even if they have an appreciation for Gu Tianze, they are also drowned in the disparity between each other.
Feelings without results were never on her radar.
After Wang Duanchun had eaten, he took out the books from the box and read them hard, Jiang was very distressed, and asked him to rest several times, but he said, "I am stupider than others, and I can't catch up with my classmates if I don't work hard." ”
Is it useful for him to study so hard?
Wang Zhiyao said: "If my brother is tired of his body, how can he take the imperial examination?" ”
The book in Wang Duanchun's hand was taken away by Wang Zhiyao. "Little Sister ......"
"You and your mother have been separated for more than two years, and my mother and I want to know the situation of Taishan Academy in Ludao. Didn't Confucius say that he would climb Mount Tai and know the world? Taishan Academy is located on Mount Tai? Wang Zhiyao blinked her big curious eyes and asked with great interest, "What's interesting around?" Delicious? Talk to me. I haven't been out of the capital, so I must not have seen as much as my brother. ”
"There are a few places of interest, I don't have time to see them." Wang Duanchun seriously recalled, "I have been studying seriously in Taishan Academy, and I rarely go out with my classmates, if it weren't for this time, I would like to go back to Beijing to celebrate my grandmother's birthday...... I won't cheat in the exam room and get into big trouble, in fact, I don't know how to ask the question, the note was forced to me by someone else. ”
Such as destroying the atmosphere. Wang Duanchun is definitely ranked first.
Wang Zhiyao sighed in her heart, he was stupid when he read, nerd!
Angry and distressed at Wang Duanchun, Wang Zhiyao grabbed her brother happily before Jiang Shi cried again, "The capital is so much fun, no one took me out before, but now that my brother is back, I can go to eat and drink with you." ”
"But ...... reading"
"Read a hundred books. It is better to travel thousands of miles, and after studying, Confucius also traveled around the world, increased his knowledge and made friends. Brother, you can't just hold books, you also need friends. ”
"But my father said that he never tired of reading and learned from the past."
"He's always had a little hang out with his friends. When the ministers and celebrities gathered, he would be there every time. ”
"But he ......"
"No, but. You're going to go out with me, you're my brother. You have to protect me. ”
“……”
This sentence touched Wang Duanchun, and he accompanied his sister out of the city, and stayed up for a while at night, "I promise you." ”
Wang Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally knocked a crack in Yumu's head, as long as she took Wang Duanchun out, Wang Duanchun would not want to study anymore.
"What is this?" Wang Zhiyao pointed to the silk silk in the box, with a plum blossom embroidered on it, and could see that the owner of the handkerchief was very good at embroidery, and said with a wicked smile: "Which beautiful woman gave it to you?" ”
Wang Duanchun shook his head again and again, and said in a sullen voice: "This veil was sent by my fifth sister last year, and my brother also sent a few books, I ...... Knowing that my little sister didn't like me to accept the gift of my fifth sister, I kept it in the box. ”
Glimpsing Wang Zhiyao's unkind face, although Wang Duanchun was reluctant to give the fifth sister a kindness, he still said: "When I meet the fifth sister, I will give it back to her." Actually, I think the fifth sister is well-intentioned. ”
"Yes, she has good intentions, so good that she obviously has her own brother to cherish and care for her, but she is not satisfied, and she wants to snatch you away."
"No, you are my own sister, naturally different from the fifth sister."
"I will be more like a good sister than her in the future, your heart can't be towards her, you are my brother, you can only protect me!"
"It's good, it's good, don't cry, it's not beautiful to cry again."
Wang Duanchun clumsily wiped away tears for the little sister, and it felt good to be relied on by the little sister.
The little sister needs him, he is not a waste.
"I was pretty just now, huh?"
"Well, you are better than when I left the capital, although ......" Wang Duanchun didn't dare to say this to the fifth sister, "You are the most beautiful in my eyes." ”
"Hmph."
Wang Zhiyao's pink fist slammed her brother's chest, "Whether my brother is a reading seed or not, in my eyes, he is the best brother." ”
Wang Duanchun's face was flushed, and he smiled a little shyly, although he was still thin, but at this time his face had a little brilliance, Wang Duanchun was not as handsome as Wang Duanhan, but his smile had a warm and cherished feeling.
……
In the palace, Emperor Qianyuan's hearty laughter came from the Qianqing Palace, "Kid who cares about his head, you lost." ”
Gu Tianze threw the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, "Don't play." ”
"Hahaha." Emperor Qianyuan's good interest was obviously not ruined by Gu Tianze, and he scolded with a smile: "I have never been able to say it, and no one dares to say that I will not play with me." ”
Gu Tianze got up and walked out, with his back to Emperor Qianyuan, who was not very dignified by the emperor, "If you want to lose the bet, I will wash your feet and soak your feet." ”
"Hahaha."
Emperor Qianyuan flicked the chess pieces, and a smug smile appeared on his lips, "It's rare to be served by you once, a stinky boy with no conscience." ”
The eunuch who served on the side was the eunuch who held the seal, and the person who had been with Emperor Qianyuan for the longest time, Father-in-law Huaien, whispered: "Lord Gu sent someone to the Beifu Si ...... Jinyi Wei Town."
Emperor Qianyuan smiled and did not change: "This little thing does not need to be returned, Aze is not the one who deliberately causes trouble, but the person who provokes him does not open his eyes." ”
Father-in-law Huaien lowered his eyelids, didn't dare to make a sound, and after a while, said, "The slave maid went to help Master Gu fetch water." ”
"Go, go, don't let the hot water burn Aze."
"Whoa."
……
Outside the Qianqing Palace, Father-in-law Huaien wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked up just in time to see Gu Tianze standing not far away, as if Gu Tianze had already known the result, waiting for Father-in-law Huaien to admit defeat.
Haoyue Xingchen illuminated his smiling face, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies was the emperor's most trusted eunuch, and the elders did not dare to offend people easily, at this time, Father-in-law Huaien couldn't help but feel nervous in the face of Gu Tianze, and secretly scolded his own stinky boy for why did he provoke Gu Sanshao?
I'm afraid it's hard to be good this time.
