Chapter 348: Quid pro quo
There is nothing wrong with multiple talismans, the key is who knows whether the signboard of Ji'an Wangfu is a talisman or a talisman?
Jian Ying said this badly to Mrs. Jian, so she could only deal with it with other reasons, "Grandmother, we are also thinking about the overall situation."
You think, the eldest brother has been the son of the world for many years, the eldest uncle has just been promoted to the elder of the pavilion, and the second young master has replaced the eldest brother as the son, what will others think? It will definitely be said that our Jian family is a bully, and helping the married daughter to seize the title and family property will affect the official reputation of the eldest uncle.
This is one of them, and the other is that the title of King of Ji'an is also a better name, to put it bluntly, it is just a vacant position without office and power. Since the death of the first emperor, the scenery of the palace is not as good as before, and the men in the second young master's generation have no great potential, and this wealth has been capped. Maybe one day the Holy One will be unhappy and take back this title.
Besides, once you inherit the title, you have to bear a lot of necessary and unnecessary responsibilities, as the head of the family, you can't just watch your brothers and nephews do nothing, right? To help them, it is indispensable to rely on the strength of the Jian family.
The eldest uncle is in a high position, how many pairs of eyes are staring? The Jian family has a big business and countless in-laws, who have helped this, that injustice, helped that, and this one has complaints. If anyone doesn't fight and causes a mess, won't the eldest uncle come forward to help clean it up in the end?
The second young master is quite talented in medical skills, and if he learns it, he will be a good business for a family supporter, a benefit to one party, and a respectable livelihood. In the future, there will be another branch, and there will be the Jane family at one end. There is a Ji'an Palace, who will underestimate us?
The second young master and I both know very well who is our real backer. Why bother to make a feud with the eldest brother for the sake of a vacant position, and cause a lot of trouble for yourself and the Jian family? ”
Old Madam Jian glanced at her, "After this incident, you and the princess are already on the same page, and when the prince inherits the title, I am afraid that you will not be able to touch the light of the palace." ”
"Did Grandmother forget? And the mother. Jian Ying reminded her with a smile, "Meng Xinniang is confused. The concubine is not confused. Meng Xinniang has always regarded her mother as a sworn enemy. After all these years of marriage, I haven't done anything else, just to be against my mother.
Whether it is for the interests of the royal family, or for the sake of his own three children. The mother concubine needs the help and support of me and the second young master. She will not let Meng Xinniang go against us.
On scheming. In terms of resourcefulness, Meng Xinniang is not the opponent of the concubine. is suppressed by the mother, and she can't turn the sky.
Again. Whether she can be the princess of the world is not sure that she will be able to inherit the knighthood. ”
First, the family genetic disease was detected, and then there was the miscarriage of Mingmei, coupled with tonight's farce, Meng Xinniang had no weight in Zhou Han's heart. If you make a mistake once or twice, I'm afraid that even King Ji'an won't be able to stop Zhou Han's determination to divorce his wife.
Old Madam Jian nodded, "The princess's heart is indeed not clear and calm enough, if such a person is made the head of the house, the glory of the palace will not be able to last for a few years."
It's rare that you and your grandson-in-law can see these things at a young age. This title is not to be dragged down by a large family of people who are not angry, it is better to separate it and be pure. With the Jane family, you can't shorten your wealth. ”
Jian Ying knew that Old Madam Jian didn't look down on the title of King Ji'an at all, but she just wanted to test her to see if she was the kind of person who was dizzy, and when she saw the benefits, she didn't care about it, and pounced on her like a puppy seeing meat and bones.
Although she didn't tell the truth, it wasn't all to cater to Old Madam Jane's disobedience. In fact, she once discussed the issue of Chengjue with Zhou Shu, and the two agreed that Chengjue would do more harm than good.
They won't bother to grab it, but if the title does come to them, they won't push it. Pros and cons are built on the basis of people, never static, pros can become disadvantages, and disadvantages can also be transformed into advantages. It's man-made, it's up to you how you do it.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and they were both a little tired, so they fell asleep together.
Jian Ying is unrestrained on weekdays, sleeping horizontally if she wants to, sleeping vertically if she wants to, and Zhou Shu doesn't care if her sleeping posture is upright. Leng Buding shares a bed with someone other than Zhou Shu, not to mention how awkward it is.
The other party is an elder again, she was afraid that she would not be honest when she slept alone, so she kicked and broke Mrs. Jane's calcium-deficient bones, and she didn't sleep well all night, and woke up again and again. After the fourth watch, I said that I couldn't sleep at all.
After listening attentively, Mrs. Jane was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, so she got out of bed lightly, put on her clothes and went next door to see her son. After a while, the locks were unlocked everywhere, and Zhou Shu also returned.
Jian Ying saw that there were bruises on his face and a bandage on his hands, and hurriedly asked him what was going on. Zhou Shu didn't hide it, and told her about smashing King Ji'an's study last night.
"It's not just to return the head of the jade staff, right?" Jian Ying stared into his eyes, "Did Father reprimand you for what happened last night?" ”
"I said a few words." Zhou Shu said about it, "The main thing is that I'm not in the mood to waste words with him." ”
Jian Ying's eyebrows moved, "Have you read the secret decree?" ”
Zhou Shu's expression froze for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth, "In addition to the secret decree, there is also a handwritten letter left by the old lady to her father in the head of the jade staff, mentioning the case of the rebellion of the Dingguo Mansion fifty years ago. ”
Jian Ying nodded, and didn't ask. The two sat side by side in front of the cradle, looking at their son and saying something inconsequential.
When Mrs. Jian got up, the Fang family called someone to invite them to dinner, and the two accompanied Mrs. Jian to Jingguo Courtyard.
King Ji'an had not slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot, far less energetic than last night. Although he tried hard to hide it, there was still a bit of old age and haggard under his smile. After greeting Mrs. Jian and Mrs. Jian, they said that they had something to do and left, and instructed a few juniors to accompany them to dinner.
After breakfast and morning tea, Mrs. Jane and Mrs. Jane said goodbye and left. The Fang clan left Jian Ying alone to talk for a while, and only then did they let her go back at lunchtime.
She was free, and Zhou Shu was stumped by things again, until the evening, and the two finally got together to talk.
Jian Ying drove the people out and asked straight to the point, "What is written on the secret decree?" ”
"The so-called secret decree is actually a secret letter written by the first emperor to the old concubine." Zhou Shu spoke very slowly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of solemnity, "To put it simply, the first emperor promised to rehabilitate the Dingguo Mansion, and in exchange, the old concubine was not allowed to show her body, and her father was ...... The father will never be allowed to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. ”
"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" Jian Ying was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, "Father is the son of the first emperor?!" ”
