In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Tianning, Princess Anhe slandered the Yingguo Mansion for being rebellious and disloyal, and Xie Jingting, the Duke of Yingguo, entered the palace to face the saint and died in front of the emperor.

Emperor Xuning was grief-stricken, holding the body of the old minister and howling.

When the Xie brothers got the news, they were immediately summoned to the palace to prepare to take back their father's body.

When the old lady of Yingguo Mansion heard that her husband had died, she was overly sad for a while and fainted. The mansion was in chaos all of a sudden, and the Sun family and others had no backbone, so they were so frightened that they forgot to set up a mourning hall. In the end, it was Xie Lingjiao who remembered the third old lady who was a guest at Xie's house, so he asked Chen to come forward and ask the third old lady to come to him and ask her to help manage the family affairs.

Fortunately, the old man's health has not been good, and the things that should be prepared have been prepared at home a long time ago. With the three old ladies in charge, the old man's funeral shroud was taken out, and the mourners were finally sent out.

Chen, as the wife of the long house, should have been the housekeeper director, but because the old lady has always preferred the second room and never let her housekeeper take power, she is not good at family affairs. This time, there was finally a third old lady here, so she naturally followed her and studied carefully and carefully.

When Sun saw that the Chen family was meddling in family affairs, he was afraid that she would seize power and establish authority, so he finally calmed down and followed the third old lady to ask for a watch.

At this time, the old lady finally sobered up, she always preferred the second room, and among the daughters-in-law, the favorite was naturally Sun. As soon as she woke up, she naturally hugged Sun and cried, and asked over and over again, "What the hell is going on?" Why are they suddenly gone? ”

How did Sun know what was going on, so he could only relax her heart softly: "What is going on in the palace, where do we dare to ask?" I still have to wait for the eldest brother and Xianggong to come back. ”

"This is really, a disaster from heaven!" The old lady hung her knees and cried.

Sun's heart jumped, he wanted to say something, he endured it, but he still didn't say it.

The old lady cried enough, and finally remembered to set up a mourning hall for the funeral, and when she asked again, she learned that the matter had been prepared, but it was the third old lady who was a guest at home.

Pan's face was astringent, and he secretly regretted that he had lost his face.

Sure enough, as soon as the third old lady saw that the old lady was awake, she immediately handed over the matter back, only in front of her, and solemnly reminded her that there is no distinction between the young and the old, it is the source of chaos, and she must be measured in the future. Since the Chen family is the daughter of the clan, she must be well adjusted/taught, so as not to have any more troubles and the family members will be messed up.

Ordered in danger, the third old lady was a great favor to Yingguofu, but she was stubborn, and she really didn't like what she said, and in the end, the entire Xie family, only the Chen family was grateful.

Especially the old lady Pan, who was accused of eccentricity in front of her daughter-in-law, her face was really ugly. If it weren't for the fact that there were many things at hand, and the Xie family accepted her love again, she was angry, afraid that she would drive the third old lady back to Nanling.

The old lady had a bad attitude, and the two brothers were very unhappy when they saw it in their eyes, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only hold her grievances in front of the third old lady.

However, the third old lady didn't pay attention to it at all, she said to her two nephews: "There is no one behind her back, not to mention that she is your elder, and we are guests in someone's house." But there is one thing you should remember that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is still very important. ”

In the hearts of the three old ladies, the noble lady must be a good candidate for a good wife and mother, as for the unvirtuous? That can only show that the other party's family is not high enough, and the background is not deep enough.

In short, the third old lady's concept of the door is very strict, and it is also for this reason that she doesn't care about the old lady's attitude towards her.

In her heart, the old lady, whether she is virtuous or talented, does not conform to the identity of the head of the Yingguo Mansion, and the root cause of this qiē is just that her background is not noble enough. What can she care about about such a born inadequacy?

In fact, the old lady's background is not low, her grandfather was the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry of the former dynasty, and her father was also an official to the third rank. Later, when he ascended the throne, the Pan family also surrendered early, and the brothers in the family were also very much used by today.

At that time, the new dynasty had just been established, and those who followed the present to fight the country were basically rough people who danced knives and guns, and it was impossible to govern the country by relying on them. Jinshang was anxious to win over the family and scholars, and pointed out some family girls to his grandchildren.

The people below have the same example, those who have wives in the family, because of the experience of King Jin, do not dare to act rashly, but the old bachelors who have not married their wives and died after many years of war do not have this concern.

Pan is not the eldest daughter in the family, and before getting married, no one thought that she would one day become the mistress of the Guogong Mansion, so this housekeeper is indeed lacking in ability.

However, for the Yingguo Mansion at that time, Pan's background was actually enough, after all, the new dynasty had just been established, and all the rules and systems were not perfect. Xie Jingting was born in a reckless background, and the old lady who came out of a small place in her family, and the people who came and went with Yingguo Mansion were also a group of rough and reckless people. Among these people, most of them got married early, married bad wives, and learned the rules slowly after entering Beijing. In comparison, Pan's middle-aged and high-ranking girl is already good, and over the years, she can be said to be very good as a duchess of the country. However, the head of the Xie family still doesn't look down on her, of course, the Pan family knows this very well in his heart.

The third old lady didn't look down on the Pan family without the bearing of being a housewife, and the Pan family felt that the Xie clan, who had long since declined, was swollen and fat, and they couldn't look down on one of them. The Pan family started late, and it is naturally incomparable with a big family like the Xie family that has gone through several dynasties. Therefore, the third old lady thinks that the Pan family is too unqualified, just like the matter of Yingguo Mansion in front of her, if it is not for her partiality in the second room, why should the long house worry about the position of the prince?

If she had covered up the news immediately when the sixth girl was born, and there were no rumors outside, it would not have attracted so many people's curiosity. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many curious people, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

The third old lady thought about it, but she felt that it was Pan's fault.

It's not good to be a housewife, but it will hurt a man and a family!

There are too many lessons from the past, and this kind of thing will happen to Yingguofu, or the branch foundation is too shallow.

However, now that Ying Guogong has died, they can't leave for Nanling as originally planned, and even the Xie family still needs someone to mourn, so she has to write a letter back in person.

Xie Han saw that her letter mentioned that she would let her grandfather go to Beijing, and she was very puzzled, and asked: "Third grandmother, people from Nanling are mourning, and it would be good to let the uncle and them come with a few people, why invite grandfather to come." ”

His grandfather, who is now the patriarch of the Xie family, asked the patriarch of the Xie clan to personally go to Beijing to mourn the Duke of Yingguo, and others seem to have stammered his Nanling Xie clan too much.

But the third old lady told him: "I said let the eldest brother come, naturally I mean." ”

Seeing that the letter of thanks was puzzled, the third old lady turned to Xie Yi and said, "Thank you, you tell your brother." ”

Xie Yi hesitated, and then said: "The old prince died in the palace, this matter is very difficult to say." Now among the two brothers in Yingguofu, Uncle Lobby is the son of the family, but he has no official position and no position, and he can't say anything about many things, and the cause of the matter is inseparable from his daughter-in-law. And the second uncle is not a high rank, and he likes to blindly protect himself in case of trouble, and neither of them is a person who can take on big things. In addition, the old lady is eccentric to the second room, and there will definitely be a disagreement with the long room, if there is no person in charge in the family, Yingguo Mansion will probably bring the original active situation to the point of being restrained everywhere, and I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on the children of the Xie family in the future. ”

Besides, the old man entered the palace to face the saint because of Princess Anhe's behavior and the words he said that he missed the old master. In the end, the old man passed away, and he still died in front of the emperor, one is not good, that is, he collided with the dragon body, which is not a joke.

Xie Yi was worried, he could analyze the shape, but he just didn't understand what was going on with the Xie family, how to look at it and get it to this point.

The third old lady nodded with satisfaction with Xie Yi, and said: "This is the big aspect, it looks thrilling, but as long as the two Xie Yun brothers can cry and sell pitiful, this matter can be solved." It's not easy to solve, it's still the girl in the big house.

Both of you are male dolls, and you will be slaughtered for the official in the future, and the things you see are naturally important matters related to the family court. As for the third grandmother, I am a backhouse woman, and I see things differently from you.

You must know that many times, a small thing, some trivial things in the inner house, can also affect the overall situation.

For example, Xie Lingzhu, although she is still a baby, since she was born, you fold your fingers and count, how many things have happened? ”

The letter of thanks was taken aback: "Third grandmother, what do you mean ......"

The third old lady nodded and said, "I let your grandfather enter Beijing just for her." You are a cousin with a bizarre background, but because of a bead, something like this happened, to say something unpleasant, the lucky star is still a disaster star, it all depends on what others say. In the past, the Duke of Yingguo was fine, but now he is gone, judging by the attitude of our old lady...... I'm afraid it's not good. But we, no matter what, have to keep this little girl, not only to protect her, but also to protect her reputation, since her surname is Xie, she can only be a lucky star with good luck, do you understand? ”

"My grandson understands."

Thank you for the letter of thanks, and I was taught.

I finally understood why the three old ladies invited their grandfather to Beijing, because it was easy to keep Xie Lingzhu, but it was difficult to protect her reputation. In this matter, someone from the Xie family really has to come forward.

But I heard the third old lady sigh again: "If only I was lucky, I could bring this little girl over, there is a daughter of the Duke of Yingguo who is biased towards the Xie family in Nanling......"

Hearing the three old ladies muttering to themselves, Brother Xie Han glanced at each other and did not answer again. I only sighed secretly in my heart that I was still too tender.

"Well, you'll have to have your grandfather come to talk about it. Now, let's wait for the body of the Duke of Guo to be sent back, and see what the emperor's attitude is towards this matter. As for the two of you, go and spend more time with the second brother when you have time, he is not in good health, you should tell him more about the situation outside. ”

The two brothers naturally said yes, but they were guessing in their hearts what the emperor's attitude would be.

What is the attitude of the present?

In the Qianming Palace, Xing Gang was tired.

Seeing his old brother who had followed him for many years die in front of him was really uncomfortable. But when he thought of the Xie family's troubled little daughter, he had an unspeakable disgust.

To be honest, Xing Gang and Xie Jingting do not have a deep relationship, although Xie Jingting follows him, his own military achievements are not high, compared with Dingguo Gong and Zhenguo Gong, it is really nothing.

The one who really has feelings for him is actually Xie Jingting's father, Xie Rong, who died on the battlefield.

Xie Rong is more than ten years older than Xing Gang, just like Princess An He said, Xie Rong was Mu Datong's subordinate at the beginning.

At that time, Xing Gang was still young, and he was also a little minion under the Niujiang bandit Mu Datong at the beginning. Don't look at him now, he is now a ninety-five, but back then, he was a yellow-skinned and thin little beggar, and he didn't even know how to use knives and arrows, and he was taught by Xie Rong.

Later, his power became bigger and bigger, and he didn't deal with Mu Datong anymore, so he pulled the team to go it alone, Xie Rong and Mu Datong followed him for a long time, so naturally he didn't stand on his side at the beginning.

But later, Xie Rong was persuaded and surrendered to him.

It's a pity that before the big thing succeeded, people died on the battlefield.

Xing Gang is suspicious in life, but he is not cold, looking at him in order to pave the way for his children and grandchildren to succeed to the throne, although he divides the military power in the hands of the old ministers at every turn, he can bear not to kill their heads.

Thanks to the fact that he can live better than anyone else, several old guys who are really hard-boned have been boiled to death by him, and the children and grandchildren behind them are no longer worried.

Because of this, he misses the old love more and more.

Xie Jingting's talent is not obvious, compared with his father, it can basically be said that one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. But in the end, he has been with him for decades, especially Xie Jingting doesn't have many days left, and he originally wanted to give him the last honor.

But where did he think that his good granddaughter would pour such a large basin of sewage on Yingguofu with a mouthful.

And the old minister who cried and defended himself in front of him died directly.

How could he not be angry?

What do you think from the outside? Their ancestors and grandchildren joined forces to kill the already sick and weak founding hero?

Emperor Xuning was so angry that he couldn't help it, while secretly hating Princess An and Princess for being stupid, and at the same time annoyed that the young daughter of the Xie family was causing trouble, you were born well, what beads are you still holding in your hand? Asking for trouble.

After appeasing the Xie brothers and letting the grandson personally accompany the body of Duke Yingguo out of the palace, he was ready to issue an order to order the Zongren Mansion to detain Princess An He.

The queen mother came with all the money, and when she saw her husband who was so angry, she couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing his wife's sigh, Emperor Xuning immediately put down his pen, stepped forward, and asked, "Niuniu, why are you here?" ”

Today's queen class is three girls, named Niuniu, five years younger than today, and now seventy years old.

She was born tall and fair-skinned, with a round face, and when she is old, she still likes to talk and look at people with a smile. The wrinkles on her face and her white hair were the best in the world in the eyes of Emperor Xuning, so as soon as she heard her sigh, she subconsciously reviewed whether she hadn't taken good care of her.

Queen Ban walked up to the desk, glanced at the unfinished decree, and said, "Let's add one more sentence, Princess Anhe is not worthy of the dignity of a princess, so she will ...... Let's be reduced to a common man. ”

Emperor Xuning frowned and disagreed: "No matter how bad she is, she is a Qiaoqiao child in the end." ”

"Qiaoqiao is Qiaoqiao, and the jade year is the jade year." Queen Ban said: "I know that you feel indebted to Qiaoqiao in your heart, but Qiaoqiao has already gone, if she is here, Yunian will not be like this." Besides, you and I both know in our hearts that the Jade Year is the Jade Year of the Pu family, not our Jade Year. She's by nature, and we've done enough for her. If you blindly favor her, it is not good for her, but harmful to her. Besides, Ying Guogong, back then, he was born with your life, and even when his wife died, he couldn't come back to take a look, but now because of the jade year, he can't look at it, this is really ......"

Seeing his wife shed tears, Emperor Xuning immediately hurriedly comforted: "Okay, don't cry Niuniu, I'm free to take care of this matter, so don't worry about it." ”

"I said that this princess should not be deserved, but she should not deserve it!" Queen Ban slapped her face on the desk and said angrily: "If you want to write, you will write!" That kind of bastard thing, what kind of princess should you be! It's a coincidence that she went, and if she was still there, she would have to be angry to death. ”

His wife was angry, where did Emperor Xuning dare to quibble, and while following the queen to ask for mercy, he picked up the pen and gave Princess An and Princess the title.

Empress Ban was satisfied, and began to teach the emperor again, saying: "It's pretty much the same, don't forget what you said at the beginning!" You said that you hate being an official the most and bullying people, so you ran to create a rebellion against the emperor. Now that you have become an emperor and powerful, it's the other way around? If you don't even care about your own courtiers, children and grandchildren, then this emperor simply don't be the emperor, and go back to my hometown with me to sell pork......"

"Okay, well, listen to you, listen to you."

As soon as he heard about selling pork, he thought of his father-in-law, and when he thought of his father-in-law, he fart/felt pain, so the matter of selling pork could not be mentioned anymore.
