297 Invitation to take a concubine
Lou Yun was once again locked out of the main room.
He went to the study of the front house with the quilt in his hands, holding the pillow and counting the stars in the sky alone.
Early the next morning, Ji Qingchen got up, freshened up and prepared to go to Jiangfu.
Lou Yun wanted to follow to accompany her, she asked in a weird way, and said:
"I want to know if Sister Lou was scolded by her aunt?"
“……”
He immediately said that he had too much business, and he wanted to go to the yamen immediately to work hard and make money to support his family.
Ji Qingchen ignored him, because she made an appointment with Xie Qiniang, who was a troublesome person, she dragged Lou Yun and went to Xie's Mansion first, taking Xie Qiniang on the same road.
Wang Shiliang happened to go out to work, and he greeted Lou Yun politely in the front hall with a smile.
"Southwest Ma Zheng on the Yangtze River, I also ask Lord Lou to say a few kind words in front of the elders in the political hall."
“…… Naturally, this is the case. ”
Lou Yun is also smiling but not smiling.
Wang Shiqiang has now been promoted to Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy, but he has not yet had a powerful alliance in the political hall of the capital.
At this time, it is too important for Wang Shiqiang to have a good relationship with Lou Yun, who was born in the southwest.
"I was in a hurry to inquire about the situation, but I actually felt that something was wrong with this matter."
Lou Yun sued Ji Qingchen aggrievedly last night.
Wang Shiqiang and Lou Luanpei made such a rumor that they wanted to reconcile, didn't this obviously offend the Lou family?
Does he still want to run the Southwest Ma Zheng?
When leaving in the same car, Xie Qi Niangzi completely lost the arrogance when she pleaded for mercy in the queen's palace a few days ago.
Ji Qingchen knew that she would never offend the Xiu Wangfu for the sake of Shi Niangzi and make the official family suspicious.
Arrived in Jiangfu. Commander Jiang was frightened by the white hair on his head after a night, and he smiled bitterly with Lou Yun in the front hall, and said:
"Don't hide it from your nephew. This time, I killed the fourth brother. The Wu family rebelled, and my concubine married the eldest grandson of the Wu family, and I should have relieved myself of the crime of being at home. The official family naturally knew the Jiang family's loyalty. This is an old example of the imperial court, not that the officials are suspicious of me. But because I was in a hurry, in order to protect the Jiang family, I let the fourth brother and the Shi family get married in a hurry......"
"I don't blame my uncle, this time the Shi family is too anxious."
Lou Yun was beaten by his wife at home, and he still looked like a scholar and a favorite minister when he went out.
He knew that Jiang Jingming and Master Jiang were half-brothers. Mrs. Jiang is the step-sister-in-law.
Because she couldn't inherit the title of the family, Mrs. Jiang was bent on letting her biological son marry a high-ranking family.
If you are not the county lord of King Xiu's mansion, then you have to be a relative of Queen Xie's family.
He just didn't know about such a family affair. He comforted Commander Jiang and talked about the planning of the Southwest Ma Zheng, and the second and third masters of Jiang both served in the Yangtze River Jiang Cao Army, so they naturally had the opportunity to serve the country loyally.
Commander Jiang understood. He was hinting that the Jiang government would support the Southwest Ma Zheng.
Inside the back house. Mrs. Jiang was also inquiring about the official family's proposal for marriage for the two princes and the opening of the cabinet in advance.
Mrs. Jiang Cheng smiled and pushed Xu Lou Yun again:
Lou Yun is a scholar of the Ziming Palace, and he is afraid that he will be an emperor in the future.
Ji Qingchen was stunned, so he naturally shook his head and said with a smile:
"The emperor's teachers are all highly respected people among the scholars of Hallym University, and the foreign sons are sparse and shallow, and they are ...... young."
What's more, there are two princes, and if you become a master, isn't that about to stand in line?
She glanced at Old Madam Jiang and Cheng Clan.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are loving and filial on the surface. But there are often conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not to mention that this Cheng's husband is not Mrs. Jiang's parent?
Heard. The Cheng family originally disagreed with Jiang Jingming and the Shi family.
But she didn't want to make a fuss, so she reminded implicitly, saying:
"The two princes have been crowned kings, although the position of the princess is good, but the prince is still young, so I still have to take another look."
Old Madam Jiang nodded silently, Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said other gossip, secretly speculating about Ji Qingchen.
She went to Wang Xuanfu's house yesterday and talked to her niece about Jiang Zhiyun.
She complained in her heart that Lou Luanpei did not keep the etiquette, and wrote a poem to Wang Shiqiang before marriage, but now she is suspected and disliked by him.
But she strongly opposed this family business at the beginning, and almost turned her face with her niece, but recently because Wang Shiqiang, the niece and son-in-law, finally got out of the way and was not ashamed, she was not able to reproach sharply.
On the contrary, it was Lou Luanpei's words that made her have a proposition in her heart.
"Auntie. Don't worry about him for a hundred years. The niece may not be as good as he wants. But a hundred years are now in Sichuan as an official. If the DPRK and China don't have effective assistance, don't they have to rely on Master Lou and their two uncles? ”
"But I heard your uncle say that this time the southwest horse politics is an old matter of Emperor Xiaozong, and the official family is fully supportive. After it is done in the future. He will be exalted in a hundred years, and you will ...... by then."
"Auntie rest assured. Wait until then. The anger of a hundred years is gone. ”
Cheng suspected that there was such an easy thing, but Lou Luanpei was so calm, she naturally had the intention of waiting and seeing.
She felt that her aunt and nephew were right:
Wang Shiqiang has to have a heart and leave, this matter has already made a big fuss.
In addition to Jiang Zhiyun, does he have the next move?
It's good to wait and see what happens.
……
Seeing each other in Jiangfu today is to take the name of the female relatives in April.
The Peach Blossom Water Garden in Jiangfu is a famous scenery in the capital.
Ji Qingchen sat on the flower mat in the water garden by the lake.
"Mrs. Jun, my aunt and nephew's daughter's family affairs, the clumsy husband has a few words to discuss with Master Lou in the front hall."
As soon as Ji Qingchen heard this, he understood that the Cheng clan had been entrusted by Lou Luanpei, and he had something to pass on to Lou Yun, the clan brother.
"It's inevitable."
She smiled casually, and Cheng was relieved.
Ji Qingchen had a marriage contract with Wang Shiqiang before, and of course the Cheng family had heard of it.
Even Jiang Zhiyun suddenly made a scene, and Cheng's first reaction was that Ji Qingchen did it in order to take revenge on Lou Luanpei.
Therefore, if Lou Luanpei said, she would just let her husband Jiang Du command the envoy to tell Lou Yun.
"Virtuous nephew, the niece and nephew of the cheap family said that she is good in the Wang family. Don't rush. In a hurry, it's all messed up. ”
Commander Jiang also wants to marry Wang Shiqiang, his niece and son-in-law.
She said that Mingzhou's family would panic. I want to take her back to her mother's house. also asked the virtuous nephew to come forward to persuade him. Since she married into the Wang family, she is a member of the Wang family. There is no reason to go home by yourself. ”
Master Jiang felt that this aunt and nephew had the right idea.
Wang Shiqiang didn't know that he wanted a divorce, so didn't that mean letting the Lou family take her back?
But who didn't think about seventeen or eighteen times when he was young, and sooner or later he would divorce that bastard mother-in-law, and he would have to divorce or something?
But then think about the face of the family, the discussion of relatives. The children under their knees, as well as the future in the officialdom, have passed this day of patience......
It's not that the aunt and nephew don't allow the king's son-in-law to take a concubine!
"The niece and son-in-law are for the sake of the eldest son. It would be nice to figure it out after a while. ”
When the elder said this, Lou Yun could only nod his head and agree.
Secretly, he was also speculating about what Wang Shiqiang wanted to do next......
The peach blossom forest surrounds the water for seven miles.
The male and female guests have their own water pavilions to set up their seats, and the boats in the middle come and go. Spring is pleasant.
Rakuka singing is indispensable at the banquet. Jiangfu's family team is also well-known in the capital.
After all, the housekeepers are different from the rakko in the tile.
One is to invite a famous teacher to train him.
The second is the careful selection of tracks.
The three beauties were all bought at the age of seven or eight, specializing in opera, not doing rough work, and became a teacher when they grew up to be twelve or thirteen.
Wearing small pink crowns and red shirts and white dresses, they sat in front of the table and played.
The appearance and temperament are naturally as sweet and pure as the peach blossoms reflected in the water.
Wang Shiliang finished his official work and rushed to the house to eat, and the three or four seats in the water pavilion were all relatives of Jiangfu.
The song is quiet. Commander Jiang looked at Lou Yun slightly.
Although Lou Yun listened to the music, he also glanced at the beautiful girl Leki. His eyes showed a happy look, but after all, the young junior didn't stare at the beauty, and turned his head to say a few words to Wang Shiliang from time to time.
Commander Jiang secretly felt a little disappointed, and could only sigh privately.
Lou Yun had to call him uncle according to his seniority, and of course he had to ask the elders what they were sighing about.
The old man remembered Zhiyun's evil obstacle, and her aunt was not from a good background, she was a happy girl raised by this family. She entered the house at the age of five or six, and grew up at the age of twelve or thirteen, and the old man was also young at that time, and it was also at such a spring banquet that he met her aunt. A few days after receiving the house, I was going to transfer it to Lord Lu's family, but I didn't expect to have a body. It's Zhiyun's girl. ”
The elder suddenly talked about the history of romance, and Lou Yun didn't know the meaning of this.
He just didn't understand, and said with a smile:
"That said. But she is also the daughter of Jiangfu. You should take good care. For the sake of Zhiyun Niangzi, there is no need to stick to too many rules, and wait for two or three years for this matter to calm down. Then choose a good son-in-law for her. This is the uncle's love for his daughter. ”
“…… That's what the nephew said. ”
Just play a song.
Commander Jiang got up and changed his clothes, walked out of the pavilion, and walked around the stone brick road to behind a water wall with a semicircular curved window.
In front of the green bamboo forest is a pretty woman in a plain skirt.
In addition to Jiang Zhiyun, there is also Aunt Xue, who has always been favored by Jiang Du's commander, standing in the forest.
"Old man......"
"Evil obstacles, die of this heart."
He stomped his feet at Jiang Zhiyun and sighed, patting his old face,
"I gave up this face for my father. The person politely pushed the words away. This is never possible. You are determined to accompany your aunt back to the yard. In two years, my father will find you to marry for you. Don't let the eldest lady see it today. ”
Although the wife sued the concubine, Commander Jiang couldn't help but hope that Lou Yun would accept Jiang Zhiyun as a concubine.
This is also for the Jiang family.
"Daddy—"
Jiang Zhiyun refused to leave.
Five years of living alone in the Wu family, as well as the shocking changes in the past six months, have made her understand that she has to fight for many opportunities by herself.
When Wang Shiqiang brought her out of the besieged palace of King Wu, she had no way out.
"Dad, my daughter's marriage to the Wu family has affected the Jiang family. But Brother-in-law Wang told me in Chengdu Mansion. If Master Lou speaks for our family, the involvement between our family and the Wu family ......"
Naturally, these will not have an impact.
"Why don't I think so?"
Jiang Du commanded the envoy to wave his hand in annoyance, so that they didn't have to say any more,
"Master Lou is good friends with the Xie family, and he has roots in the southwest and Shandong, and the second prince will also rely on him for the future. If he accepts you, the official family is afraid that he will be able to open up to your fourth uncle's marriage. ”
Jiang Jingming and Shi Yunying's marriage may be preserved.
lest the eldest lady have to be angry in front of her mother-in-law these days, and hate the concubine and lose face, and the eldest lady Jiang has no peaceful life.
'But—"
But Lou Yun didn't mean that at all.
"Dad, my cousin-in-law said that he would invite the seventeenth son of his family to mention this matter to Lord Lou."
The cousin-in-law in Jiang Zhiyun's mouth is Wang Shiqiang, the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy.
"He's going to say?"
Jiang Du's commander frowned slightly, after all, there was a glimmer of hope.
The Siming royal family now fully supports the southwest horse politics advocated by Wang Shiqiang.
A large number of craftsmen from Mingzhou were hired to Sichuan.
Wang Shiqiang made such a cost, he figured out that Guò Jiang Zhiyun's aunt and cousin were close to Lou Yun, which also made sense.
Glancing at Aunt Xue, who was crying and expectant, he stomped his feet and turned back to the table.
Jiang Zhiyun looked at his father's back and bit his lip secretly.
If Wang Shiliang doesn't say that Lou Yun can't be moved, the matter of trying her best to get close to Lou Yun as promised will be over.
My cousin-in-law won't blame her, right?
"Sister Yun'er ......"
Aunt Xue looked at her infatuated and confused, and her heart gradually became frightened:
This daughter, isn't it a bachelor Lou who belongs to her heart, but someone else? (To be continued......)
