Old Man Xia has been a peaceful person all his life, and he has never been so resolute. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the third day of Xia Qing's return, he asked the whole family to go to the ancestral hall and divided the family.

Although both Wu and Zheng had known about this before, and they had also told their husbands about it, they never thought that this day would come so soon.

Wu didn't mind splitting up, she was just worried that such a quick split would cast a shadow on her husband's official reputation.

Parents are not separated from each other, and it is never just an empty phrase.

Outsiders will not think that it is the old man Xia who insists on separating the family, but will only think that there is something wrong with the Xia family, and the two brothers, who have always had a good relationship, suddenly broke up, and there must be some ulterior secrets hidden in it.

Humans have always been very evil creatures, and most of them like to intrude into other people's privacy, and like to peek into the secret things that others don't want them to see.

This point, the two brothers of the Xia family, have experienced it very clearly in the past few days.

Xia Yan is okay, he is now in a high position, he was once the confidant of the emperor, and the new emperor also uses him very much at this time, and ordinary people can't find out about him, but occasionally when he goes out to party, he always encounters all kinds of spy inquiries, which makes him feel annoyed in his heart, and he has to deal with it with a smile.

But that's it, in front of him, no one will really ask nakedly.

Xia Qing didn't have such good luck, he was ordered to return to Beijing, but he didn't have an official position, what was the use of having a seven-rank official body? In the capital where the five officials grabbed a lot of them, I saw that everyone was one or two levels higher than him...... People usually don't have so many scruples about people with status such as themselves, and they are more straightforward.

It's just a few days, Xia Qing didn't even want to go out to visit friends, so he simply took advantage of his daughter's marriage to shrink at home and not go out.

At this time, people suddenly remembered that although Xia Qing was inconspicuous, he was about to have a son-in-law with a high status!

It's a little more restrictive!

Xia Chu knew the reason for this separation early in the morning, and it was because of this marriage. After Luo Ziqian told her, the Gu family also sent someone over to explain it...... She understood, the new emperor ordered Xia Qing to come back at this juncture, obviously it was a grace to the Gu family, but in fact, he just didn't want the generals to get too close to Wenchen.

Xia Yan is to be reused, the two families got married, and the relationship became close, even though Xia Yan and the Gu family belonged to the neutral royalists, he still didn't want to see them stand on the same front.

To be loyal to him, but to prevent loyal courtiers from colluding with each other, this emperor is also worried enough.

And the reason why the new emperor will do this is nothing more than because the emperor is still alive, and these two people were both courtiers valued by the emperor before, and they can be regarded as confidants!

Emperors, of course, want their courtiers to be subservient to them, and subconsciously fear their former masters, even if that person is his father.

If one day, the new emperor and the emperor have a conflict and refute their opinions, who will these people listen to? I know it's impossible, but I can't help but think about it, and the more I think about it, the more I have to take precautions.

Even though the Emperor Taishang was too ill to get up at this time, he couldn't drag on for many days.

Therefore, there is a rumor in the world that the emperor's family has no family affection, and it is not untargeted.

The family affection of the heavenly family is really indifferent.

Although it was just the new emperor's cautious eye, the Xia family and the Gu family, who were courtiers, had to do it.

The Xia family's separation is only the first step.

Within a few days, Xia Qing, who was idle at home, got an order from the Ministry of Officials - Pingtuo was Yingchuan as Wuyang Zhixian!

Don't underestimate the official position of the magistrate, especially in Yingchuan, which is outstanding!

What is Yingchuan?

Although it is a county, it has a vast territory, covering a large area of mountainous peaks in Zhumadian, and the terrain is dangerous and strangely beautiful, and it is one of the favorite places for literati and artists.

And if Jiangyin is the land of fish and rice, then Wuyang is the money bag of Yingchuan, where the hinterland is!

The prosperity and wealth of Yingchuan are known all over the world, it seems to be a treasure land, I don't know how many rare treasures have appeared, and how many world-famous people have come out! I don't know if the water and soil on that side have been blessed by the gods, in the eyes of the world, Yingchuan is like a treasure land, as if if if you go there and come back, the whole person will be different!

Wuyang County is like the treasure pearl of Yingchuan, almost occupying nearly half of Yingchuan's natural resources!

Such a place, if it is not the emperor's confidant and courtier, even if it is just a county order, it is not something that ordinary courtiers dare to think!

Wuyang County Order is not comparable to a Jiangyin County Order!

For example, when Xia Xuan returned to Beijing to report on his work, the Xia family and his Yue's family were planning in every way, but they only dared to think that he could stay in Beijing and have a real job! If he knew that he could be the commander of Wuyang County, I was afraid that even if the Wu family missed his son and hoped that he could stay by his side, he would send him to his post with a happy smile!

This time, for the sake of the Gu family, the new emperor can be said to have paid a lot of price!

When Xia Qing received this holy decree, he was also full of surprise and incomprehension. His family knows about his own family affairs, where does he have this qualification? It's like being hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky, and the whole person is dizzy and overwhelmed!

In all fairness, when Xia Yan first heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart for a moment!

He knew very well in his heart that Xia Qing could have this luck, not because he did a good job in Jiangyin County, it was completely because he gave birth to a good daughter and was favored by the Gu family!

The new emperor actually values the Gu family as much!

What is the reason for this, Xia Yan has no clue. But he knew that the new emperor didn't want to see him too close to the Gu family, otherwise he wouldn't have sent this good thing to his second brother!

When the order of the ministry arrived, the official who came to deliver the message also deliberately said that Xia Qing did not have to rush to take office, but could wait until the end of the New Year before leaving...... In fact, this is also a matter of course, after all, the current term of office of the Wuyang County Commander has not expired, and he is still in office! He passed in advance so aggressively, how do you want people to deal with themselves?

But he deliberately instructed such a sentence, and the meaning was different, as if he was specially given some days to prepare, and by the way, after participating in his daughter's marriage, he could spend the New Year at home, which became the grace of the new emperor, Xia Qing had to be grateful to Dade!

**

The trivial matters settled, and after the initial surprise and joy passed, as the people of the Xia Mansion closed their doors, they gradually returned to calm.

Wu and Zheng have no opinion on reducing going out, and there is only one Xia Yu left in the family who has not left the cabinet, and she is still young, so she doesn't have to think about marriage too early. The granddaughters are still young, and the eldest Sister Rong is only ten years old, so there is no need to rush to get married, and it will be good in a year or two.

Most of the women of the Great Jin Dynasty got married around the age of sixteen or seventeen, Xia Xue and Xia Bangqiu were both sixteen years old, but the beginning of Xia was a special case - ordinary people are married, and it is really rare to set a difference of five or six years!

Gu Tengke is about to turn twenty, and this is the age at which he is about to be crowned. Other people's men, at this age, who is not a wife and children? But he was the only one who had a fiancée who was too young, so that he was still alone!

It is understandable that the Dingguo General's Mansion hopes to pass through the door early in the summer.

But the Xia family didn't think about letting Xia Chu marry at the age of fourteen, not to mention others, even Luo Ziqian was a little reluctant! I thought it would be good to keep her for a few more years, since the Gu family is willing to set her, it can be seen that they are mentally prepared, in this case, why not be hypocritical in their family?

But in the past few years, the emperor's body has been not very good again and again, and there have been news of critical illness several times, and martial law in Beijing has been imposed several times, but Leng is still getting better!

It's not that she hopes that the emperor will die soon, it's just that she is worried because she is not sure about the mourning period of that person. To put it mildly, if the Emperor Taishang dragged on for a year and a half like before, plus three years of filial piety, not only Gu Teng couldn't wait, but even at the beginning of summer, he couldn't afford to spend so many green years!

Women's flowering period is shorter than men's, the best age to be accompanied by the side to leave the best impression, in the future husband and wife respect each other like guests, raise the case or eyebrows, and finally have a good start!

Although he was reluctant, Luo Ziqian still agreed to hold a ceremony for her early, so that they could get married in advance!

It's just that when things come to an end, I am full of reluctance.

As the wedding date is getting closer and closer, Luo Ziqian treats Gu Teng more and more without a good face - the people of Xia Mansion have become less fond of moving around, but it is impossible to have no communication at all, not to mention that the Gu family is still about to become an in-law! The procedures of the three books and six ceremonies have long been completed, just waiting for a kick in the door, the two families are already relatives, and the door-to-door movement is justified.

At the beginning of Xia, it can be said that he was completely 'raised' by Luo Ziqian, which even the Zheng family can't deny. In the days before he finally went out, Luo Ziqian took advantage of this reason to leave Old Man Xia very willfully and live in the old house, which can be regarded as a tribute to the fact that he didn't say a word to her before, so he made a decision to split up alone, which scared her a lot.

Women are always extraordinarily willful in front of men who love them, even if they are a lot older!

Xia Qing and the Zheng family naturally did not welcome them, and respectfully welcomed people into the house, and let her live in the house of the former Cihe Hall of the main courtyard...... That was where the couple would live in the future.

Xia Chu was amused and moved, she knew that Luo Ziqian's life was not as arbitrary as in the previous life, maybe because she had something to care about, she became constrained, and there were a lot of rules, which was more in line with her identity as a noble daughter in the previous family.

It's just that sometimes when I look at her like this, I always have an illusion that she is not real.

And this time, she made an exception for herself, right?

Luo Ziqian was not hypocritical at all, and called Xia Chu to sleep with him at night, and even the things that her mother should teach her daughter to learn before marriage, she also did it for her - this saved Xia Chu a lot of trouble.

If Zheng really took the Spring Palace Diagram to teach her, Xia Chu would have to pretend to be shy and tired, but Luo Ziqian took it directly, but he didn't need to say a word.

People who have been queens and have to read the history of the emperor every day will not understand what the candles in the cave house are like?

After listening to a little nagging, he was able to talk to Luo Ziqian in peace, and Xia Chu was very happy.

Although Zheng, who was 'robbed of business', said that it was regrettable, but her relationship with Xia Chu has never been close, and she suddenly asked her to teach her daughter this before marriage, which is really a little unspeakable, and her mother-in-law is willing to work, in fact, she is also relieved!

It's just that after the relaxation, there is a deep sense of loss and melancholy in my heart.

In front of Xia Chu, she has never been a qualified mother.

She missed too many beautiful moments of her growth, ignored that she was also a child who needed parental care, and even the things that a mother should teach her daughter were all left to her mother-in-law.

It is true that Luo Ziqian raised Xia Chu very well, and she should be pleased, but she is always unhappy in her heart.

Fortunately, when I talked to her at the beginning of the summer last time, I untied several knots in her heart and made her understand that she never blamed herself, which made her feel a lot better.

"Chu'er, your in-laws are noble, you have to respect them more."

"Just don't be too wronged by yourself, if you're unhappy, come back, and grandmother will call the shots for you."

Zheng glanced at his mother-in-law helplessly, but couldn't say anything, so he turned his head and continued to say to his daughter: "Remember to follow the three obedience and four virtues, even if you can't do it, you have to be patient......"

"If you can't help it, come back, grandmother will call the shots for you."

"Old woman, madam, Young Master Gu is here." When the servant woman entered the door, she saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were brainwashing the third miss one by one, but the third miss had no expression on her face, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly lowered her head to report.

"Why is he here again?" Zheng blurted out, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes can be imagined.

His daughter is about to get married, and he still has a sense of presence at the door for three days!

The servant woman was embarrassed, and suddenly she didn't know how to answer. This future new aunt has come to the door too many times recently, so much so that they are used to no longer asking each other the reason for coming, and after a while, he said, "Xu is sending something to the eldest lady for Mrs. Gu." ”

Although I still remember that Xia Chu was the third lady in my heart, this has been separated, and the people below have also changed their words.

"Let him in!" Luo Ziqian glared at his daughter-in-law, looking at her words, as if he was dissatisfied with Gu Tengduo, the head will meet, don't you still praise people and children for showing talent? It's just a few more trips, why don't you dislike it?

You must know that although there is a custom that unmarried couples are not allowed to meet, it is not based on the general defense of men and women.

It is not etiquette for strange men and women to meet, but it is actually natural for men and women who are married to meet. As long as you are affectionate and courteous, the saints can tolerate it.

And although the custom appears to be intended to bind the fiancé to reason, it is in fact only a blessing. (To be continued.) )
