Chapter VII
Su Meng's mind was also alive at this time, should you take this opportunity to hint at it? After thinking about it, he made up his mind, exchanged a look with the old lady, and the old lady nodded imperceptibly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother-in-law, if you want to say that a family like ours doesn't need those noble marriages, and we don't care about those ethereal things. As the saying goes: a husband is honorable and a wife can be noble, and a virtuous wife and husband are less troubled. I just want to find someone who can assist her husband, the wife of a communicative official, train her children, and take care of the backyard clean and refreshing, so that her husband is above the court, and he doesn't have to worry about the small square world in the backyard, and he really cares for the two children. Ay! Look at me, talking and talking like Youqing! ”
Even the Shen clan listened to these words, and nodded secretly, worthy of being from the Lushan Meng clan, with a clear vision and a good experience in the world. No wonder Hou Ye often said that the goddaughters of the Meng clan in Lushan are all in the backyard, and their hearts are in the court. You can not be involved in politics, but you can't be in politics.
Even if it is a continuation, it will not be arbitrary. It doesn't sound very demanding, but looking at the capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty, how many can you pick out in all aspects like this? It's not deliberately cultivated by the family, there are a few women who care about the court, and a few women can see the direction of the court through communication.
Thinking about this, I suddenly thought about the last sentence like Youqing? Don't...
Even Shen didn't show anything on his face, but his heart was like boiling water, and he was not calm for a moment.
The old lady knew in her heart that some words had come to an end. The in-laws are smart, and they will soon find out what they mean. It's that Fan'er is more than ten years older than the in-laws after all, and she is a step-room, so I don't know if the in-laws will mind.
While a few people were thinking about it, Yun Qing took Brother Jin Peng into the warm pavilion.
Brother Jin began to talk about his study and life in Lushan, "It's better to read 10,000 books than to walk 10,000 miles, the ancients didn't deceive me!" ....... "Brother Jin has been different from the time he left the capital, what he saw and heard all the way, all the way to Lushan's study and life in the capital. When I came back this time, because of the change in my mood, I saw on the road and had incomprehensible opinions.
A few people who listened to it sighed from time to time, especially when it came to the foothills and Yunwu Lake, which were surrounded by green mountains, hidden between the clouds and mist, ethereal, and the Yunlu Academy was hidden among the green trees, looming. The surface of the lake is as smooth as a mirror, if there are thousands of acres of jasper; Where the breeze rises, the waves are sparkling; As the sun sets, the lake is golden. What a picturesque and beautiful place.
It's lunchtime in a blink of an eye. The group came to the flower hall with unfinished satisfaction.
The flower hall burned the earth dragon, and the room was as warm as spring. Plates and chopsticks were placed on the banquet table in the hall. A few people sat down in order, first cleaned their hands with the hot water soaked in plum blossoms, and then platter, side dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes... An endless stream of them was served.
The old lady politely said to Lian Shen, "It's commonplace, don't dislike it", and then raised a glass to everyone first, and the luncheon officially began.
After lunch, I removed the dishes and served hot tea, snacks, and fruits. A few people were laughing again.
At the end of the day, Lian Shen politely said goodbye. Peng Peng reluctantly pulled Yunqing's sleeve, "Don't let my aunt go, don't let my aunt go." As he spoke, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked.
When Su Mengshi saw it, he picked up Peng Peng in distress and coaxed him continuously.
Even Shen's heart is distressed! The child has no mother since he was a child, and in the past few years, he has not let the child be too lonely because he has taken Peng Peng from time to time. Seeing that the child is getting bigger and bigger, why does it seem that he can't give up Yunqing?
The old lady affirmed the thoughts in his heart more and more.
After some reluctance, she finally sent her in-laws away, and the old lady was also physically tired and in poor spirits. Arrange for everyone to go back to rest, and take Peng Peng back to the house to rest.
In the thirty-second year of Yongtai, on the evening of the sixteenth day of the winter month, a major event occurred in the capital. The public protector lingered on the sickbed for several months, dragging the scars all over his body and passed away. With the death of the protector, the potential deep court conflicts and the battles between several vassal kings finally slowly crept to the surface. And the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for more than 200 years, finally faced the disaster of falling apart.
This Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, but just a somewhat similar alternate era. The name of the country is also China. It seems that the spirit of China has never changed, whether it is historical or empty.
The Ming Chu family, founded more than 200 years ago, has experienced several prosperous times and declined. More than a hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty once faced the disaster of destroying the dynasty. It was the ancestors of the Huguo Mansion and the Xiaoguo Mansion that the current Yanguo Mansion and several major families in the capital and the Lushan Meng family, who were not prominent at that time, turned the tide and saved this devastated country, so as not to change the dynasty. After many generations of loyal protection of the country, there is a foundation of more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty. And this generation of emperor Chu Han, who reigned for 32 years, was even more dedicated, recruiting talents, and being a corporal. But unfortunately, of the eight princes born by Chu Han, four died early before they reached adulthood. The three princes also died on the battlefield one after another. The only surviving fourth prince also broke his legs on the battlefield, and he was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, losing the ability to have children.
The most helpless thing is that several princes left a grandson on the crown prince, but the grandson was weak since he was a child and died early. The royal heirs withered, and no new prince was born, which cast a layer of tension and anxiety on the originally peaceful and tranquil Daming.
The protectors of the past dynasties are not protecting the country of a family, but the rivers and mountains of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are loyal, keep promises, and the dukes are selfless and fearless of life and death. They uphold the correct way of governance and correct the meaning of governance. When the refugees were in difficulty, the Rong family achieved the fearless spirit of sacrifice and sacrifice without fear of death and the sword when facing the enemy. It is this kind of protectorate that controls half of the military power of the imperial court, and it is also this kind of protectorate mansion that discourages some traitors who are not subordinate and dare not act at will.
And Rong Jing's five sons, three died on the battlefield, the eldest son Rong Lei survived several lives and deaths from the pile of dead people with a body of scars, and the fourth son is good at writing and not good at martial arts, and has been taking care of the family's chores.
Rong Jing's death made several small surrounding countries that were already constantly harassing them start to move, and even made several vassal kings aim at the position above and start various schemes.
It can also be said that the death of a Rong Jing is not only a loss to the imperial court, but also a disaster of war in the future of the Ming Dynasty.
The old lady's sleep is shallow, and in the past few days, she has something to worry about, so she doesn't sleep well. I faintly heard the sound of cloud panels in my sleep, and suddenly woke up.
At this time, there was a sound of Rong's mother whispering to Jixiang to get up, and the two went out after a while.
"Jixiang, I don't know who knocked on the cloud board just now, I estimate that the direction is east. I'm not sure. You hurry up and find someone to go to the front yard and ask. ”
Jixiang trotted to the gate of the courtyard, called the mother-in-law who came to see the door, and hurriedly went to the front yard to ask whose family had a funeral.
Before the mother-in-law came back, Su Zhongyi ran over panting.
Mother Rong saw Su Zhongyi's panic on her face, and her heart chuckled. Let the chief butler come over in person, and he looked panicked, could it be the Protector Mansion......
"Mother Rong, hurry... Hurry up... Old lady, the protector of the country has died. I have already sent someone back to the old lady, and the old lady will come at once. Su Zhongyi took a few breaths and continued, "I ordered the carriage and horse to be prepared at the door, and the soft sedan will come over immediately." ”
