169 The Book of Concubinage
Mr. Chen has been an official for most of his life, and he doesn't know how many ups and downs he has seen.
As soon as the holy decree came, there was no big pomp, only one inner eunuch led two small yellow doors, this kind of pomp and circumstance was generally rewarded by the palace with some gold, silver and cloth, etc., but I didn't expect that as soon as the inner eunuch spoke, it was a big event like "sealing the concubine".
Not to mention who is the one who is promoted, the will of this concubine is directly issued to the women in the palace in the palace, when did it actually issue a holy decree to the woman's maiden family!
And then again "knighted".
Cheng Amber.
This is a big title, especially now that he is a civil minister, the world has been peaceful all these years, and his political achievements are not a lot, but a civil minister, political achievements and merits are strictly two different things, and he can't be crowned an earl! Unless he's dead now, posthumously titled! Like Taizu Wendenggong!
Now because a concubine is going to be a concubine, she will raise her maiden family and reward her with a knighthood?
Are you kidding!
Listening to it again, when he heard the words "Chen's young lady, Wupin'an people, enter the palace", Old Man Chen finally suddenly realized.
It turned out that the emperor gave him a knighthood because he wanted to exchange this title for a Wupin'an person...... Old Man Chen really didn't expect that Emperor Qinglong actually valued his concubine so much. For her and the child in her belly, she is willing to spend such a big capital.
So what happened to Junyi because of what he suffered back then?
Old Man Chen understood.
This decree is a transaction.
If he covets that title, he thinks the deal is profitable. Or maybe he Chen Zefu didn't have the courage to bear the charge of disrespecting the decree, so he obediently and honestly accepted the order.
But he Chen Zefu has always had his own insistence, how could he accept such a deal.
Old Man Chen straightened his spine and said to the inner supervisor: "Father-in-law, listen to the old man's explanation...... In the holy decree, the so-called Chen Qingniang is no longer a person in the old man's mansion. As early as July, on the day of the death of the old husband's wife, the old man had already written a concubine book, written in black and white, and left a file in the official mansion, and the old man Chen Zefu. With that young lady. Since then, the two have never been related. ”
"What did you say?" The inner supervisor felt as if he hadn't understood Old Man Chen's words.
Old Man Chen said again: "The old man is saying that the old man has already written a book to release the concubine, and he has nothing to do with the young lady from now on. So. There is a mistake in this decree. It's better for my father-in-law to go back and ask the emperor first. And. In this way, the false decree has been automatically invalidated, and the old man will not accept it. ”
The decrees are all on the wrong foot. How do you count that?
The inner supervisor finally understood what Old Man Chen was talking about, but he still swallowed in disbelief: "Release the concubine book?" ”
"Yes, release the concubine book." Old Man Chen said calmly: "If your father-in-law doesn't believe it, the old man can find it for your father-in-law to see." ”
The inner prison only thought it was ridiculous.
How could such a person do such a thing again?
Whoever has a concubine daughter who is favored in the palace, let alone favored in the palace, is the one who marries into the family of the powerful to fill the house, and has a little weight in the family when he is favored, and the family has to treat his biological aunt well. Since ancient times, I have never heard of someone taking the biological mother of the concubine who is about to ascend to the throne as the concubine who has not given birth to a concubine and gave Zhang Fang a concubine book to take the initiative to break off the relationship!
It's too late to offer!
Some shameless people, such a concubine room with children can overpower the main room! Not to mention that Lord Chen's old wife has passed away a long time ago, what impact can the concubine's room have!
It's really hard to understand, I can't figure it out!
Why did you even get out the concubine book!
But no one will ever lie about this kind of thing again.
It took a long time for the inner eunuch to find a little sense, and asked with difficulty: "That, Lord Chen, our family heard that your aunt still lives in the mansion?" "That Aunt Qing must still be living in the mansion, otherwise, it is impossible for the emperor not to know, and it is impossible for the noble concubine not to know.
By the way, there are also noble concubines. The inner prison suddenly became energetic.
Old Man Chen said calmly: "She is a woman, and it is not easy to live alone. The old man was not the mean and unrighteous person, so he temporarily left her to live in the small courtyard of the house. When she has a better placement, the old man will not stop her. ”
When the inner supervisor heard this, he couldn't find a refutation, and said eagerly: "What about your concubine?" ”
Chen Guifei's name has always been in the name of the concubine. Her biological mother has taken the concubine book and is not a member of the Chen family at all, so how did Chen Guifei arrange it?
Old Man Chen paused slightly, and sighed lightly: "As for the noble concubine, the old man is still willing to respect her personal choice......" She chose to keep the surname Chen, and then she will honestly be a Chen concubine, and don't toss this and that. If she chooses her biological mother...... The Chen family could only let go......
The inner prison didn't react for a while.
Without waiting for him to ask again, Old Man Chen gave the guest away: "Father-in-law, let's explain this matter to the emperor earlier." I'm afraid the emperor is waiting at this moment. ”
As soon as the inner eunuch heard this, he didn't have time to ask more questions in a hurry, so he could only leave the Chen Mansion in a hurry with the holy decree.
As soon as he left, Second Mrs. Chen shook off the hands of her two sons and said anxiously: "Father, why don't we know what to put in the concubine book!" The point is, that's the Count! How can it be ......"
"Even if the old man really earns a knighthood, it will be passed on to the boss, and there is nothing to do without your second room." Gong Chen glanced at Second Mrs. Chen coldly, and when she saw it, she immediately bowed her head with a weak heart, and then turned her eyes to look at the servants around her, and said, "Everyone disperse." ”
He said to Mrs. Chen: "You take care of it very well up and down in this house...... All these years, you have worked hard. ”
When he received the holy decree just now, there were twists and turns, especially after hearing so much extraordinary shocking news, no one present was quiet and no one whispered, and in front of the inner prison of the decree, the face of the Chen Mansion was greatly increased.
This made Mr. Chen very satisfied.
Mrs. Chen said busily: "This is what a daughter-in-law should do." She paused and said in a low voice, "It's just, father, what happened today...... You see? ”
"Let's go inside and talk." Old Man Chen nodded at her, then looked at Second Mrs. Chen and Chen Houwen and Chen Houqi and said, "You guys come too." ”
"Yes." Second Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be a little nervous, and after responding, she grabbed Chen Houwen's hand.
She had never been involved in such a conversation at home. Especially now that such a big thing has happened, her brain is chaotic, and she is timid and afraid to speak in front of Old Man Chen...... Husband, why haven't you come back yet? The concubine didn't know what to do......
Second Mrs. Chen misses Second Master Chen even more now. (To be continued......)
