Not long after coming back yesterday, Yan Xiaoyue found that the people in the house were extremely well-behaved, even better than the Yang Mansion, especially Mama Rong, who had met once, was meticulous in dressing etiquette, clear in reply, and extraordinary in bearing. She is in charge of the house. Don't worry about Yan Xiaoyue.

Yan Xiaoyue enjoyed quiet and quiet in the Mu Mansion, but the Yang Mansion was in a panic.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the emperor had already sealed the pen, and Yang Mocheng was rare to accompany his wife and daughter at home, and the three of them chatted around the stove, and Uncle Shan suddenly ran in, "Master, someone from the palace said that the father-in-law who passed the holy decree arrived after a stick of incense." ”

Yang Mo was surprised and said, "Holy decree? Then he instructed a few people, "Madame and Xiao'er go and change their clothes quickly, Dashan, you go and arrange for the next person to set up the incense case and find my official uniform." ”

After a hectic meal, everyone dressed neatly and knelt on the ground, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Fang Yajie, the woman of Yang Mocheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, knows books and reason, is expensive and thrifty, and has no slack to follow, Kezuo pot ceremony, the track is duanhe, and the goddaughter is well-organized, and she is immediately canonized as the lady of Sanpin Zhenyi County, a pair of jade Ruyi, two pearls, a pair of jade bracelets, a set of butterfly hairpins, a green moire brocade dress, and a soft silver light Luo lily skirt, Qin this! ”

Yang Mo accepted the order and stuffed a purse to the father-in-law who sent the decree, "There is Father-in-law Lao, and I will go on a trip on this cold day." Your Majesty has already sealed the pen, how can you still ......? ”

The father-in-law smiled ambiguously, "Isn't it clear in Your Majesty's holy decree?" Yesterday, when I returned to the palace, the queen said that Mrs. Yang taught her daughter a good way, and she specially invited a reward. I'm afraid that there will be a happy event in Lord Yang's house. ”

Yang Mocheng stared at the green moire brocade, and his face changed again and again.

Fang Yajie said worriedly: "Master, what does Your Majesty the Emperor mean by this?" ”

Yang Mocheng shook his head, "Madame, don't worry, Your Majesty will reward all the mansions a year ago, this is just a routine thing." ”

Fang Yajie didn't believe this prevarication, "But, master, how can a concubine become the lady of Sanpinjun as a stepfamily?" ”

This dynasty has a harsh side to women, and there are also some protective etiquette. For example, there are seven wives who are married and there are three out, and for example, the original partner dies, and when he marries, he will give a concubine to the original partner. The step-family cannot enter the heir's hall, and after death, it cannot be in the same cave as the father-in-law. The official family is even more strict, like Yang Mocheng's official residence is the third grade, but Fang Yajie, as a stepmother, has never had a title. If there is no great grace, it is impossible to be sealed under normal circumstances, no wonder Fang Yajie will not believe Yang Mocheng's words after listening to the holy decree.

Yang Mocheng still said, "Maybe it's a special reward, Mrs. needs to rest assured now, this is not a bad thing, don't worry." ”

Xiaoxiao also stared at the green brocade, seeing that her father was obviously worried and comforted her mother repeatedly, so she couldn't bear to ask again, and invited Xiao Tao. Let her quickly go to Mu Mansion to report the news.

The content of the Yang Mansion's holy decree spread throughout the noble homes of the imperial city within an hour.

In the study of Jiang's mansion, Jiang Siyan knelt on his knees in front of Jiang Zhongxian, "Grandfather, grandson has thought about it and decided to inherit the dark department, please grandfather fulfill." ”

Jiang Zhongxian's face was full of grief, and his voice trembled, "You...... Really decided? ”

Jiang Siyan looked at his grandfather firmly and nodded.

"Do you already know the price to pay, and you still decide?"

"Yes. Grandfather. ”

"Just for a woman, is it worth it?"

Jiang Siyan looked at his grandfather in shock, "Grandfather? ”

Jiang Zhongxian sighed and helped Jiang Siyan up. "You were raised by your grandfather, don't I know you yet? On the sixth day of the first month, when you returned home from Huguo Temple, you asked me for a ring, and this time I made up my mind when I came back from the paddock, but that person was not your hit? ”

Jiang Siyan nodded, "Even so. But her grandson is still her. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Zhongxian seemed to be several years old in an instant, and said bitterly: "Our Jiang Mansion has been passed down from generation to generation, and those who inherit the dark department for various reasons are always the better ones in the same generation. ”

Jiang Zhongxian held Jiang Siyan's hand and burst into tears, choking up: "Siyan, my grandfather is old, I really don't want to see you go down the same path. ”

Jiang Siyan shook his grandfather back and replied in a firm voice: "Grandfather, I believe that I will not follow the path of my uncle, and I also believe in Yueniang, she is not comparable to ordinary women." ”

Jiang Zhongxian recovered his emotions, "Yueniang? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and said, "But the little lady who danced the green waist dance in Yangfu?" Seeing Jiang Siyan nodded, he said: "She is not a simple person, disturbing the two kings to fight, and now she is even more in the eyes of that person, and now Yang Mansion is afraid that it is not a small trouble, right?" Since ancient times, it has been said that the face is thin, but I don't know how many good sons and daughters have lost their lives for that peerless red face? ”

Saying that, tears couldn't stop flowing, and their Jiang Mansion was always like this for the sake of that one by one, either crazy, crazy, crazy, or ...... Lose.

In order to maintain the glory of the house, one must always be sacrificed, which is an inescapable fate and an unavoidable ending.

"Grandfather, grandson, please do it." After speaking, Jiang Siyan had to kneel down again.

"Get up, kneel down for a woman, do you still have the backbone?" Jiang Zhongxian shouted loudly, so frightened that Jiang Siyan shuddered, and quickly stood up straight.

"You," Jiang Zhongxian pointed to Jiang Siyan's head, "Alas, you! Do you still have the heart to tease me at this time? ”

"Grandfather, don't worry, our Jiang family has been passed down from generation to generation, and one of the two brothers must inherit the dark department, and this generation is more suitable for me to inherit than Brother Qi. Let Brother Qi be your grandfather's successor, I believe that Brother Qi will do better than your grandson in your position. ”

Jiang Zhongxian sighed, the dark side has given them the glory of the Jiang family for generations, but it has also brought endless pain, and it is difficult to measure between gains and losses, and there is no power to change, the bone-eating pain like a curse.

"When are you going to go to the Inheritance?"

Jiang Siyan thought about it, thought about it, and replied: "I'll go when what I'm going to do is decided." ”

Jiang Zhongxian nodded, "That's okay, you can start tonic these days, go to the secret room and bring out all the tonics, and make more preparations, maybe the antiphagogy effect can be alleviated a little?" ”

Jiang Siyan nodded, although he knew that there was little hope, but their Jiang family had been working hard for this for generations, and the attempts from generation to generation and the improvement again and again were all for a common goal.

"Then you go and prepare, if there is anything you want us to do, you can say it." Jiang Zhongxian turned around and sat down on the Taishi's chair and calmed down.

Jiang Siyan felt uncomfortable when he saw his grandfather like this, but thinking of the crisis she had to face, and then thinking of her temperament, he had no other choice, since he couldn't let go of her, he could only give up on himself.

At the moment when Jiang Siyan walked out of the study, Jiang Zhongxian's voice sounded: "You have already chosen this path, then Dongzang next to your grandmother, find a place to settle her after a while." (To be continued.) )
