Chapter 297, dilemma

In the middle of the morning (around 10 o'clock in the morning), Mingjing came back exhausted, Changsheng was not happy, he didn't go to place the salute, he didn't change his clothes, he just sat and talked to his uncle and eldest brother, and when he saw Mingjing coming back, he didn't want to answer lazily, but Wang Chunfa and Zhou Ansheng blamed Changsheng for being willful, and persuaded her not to blame Mingjing, anyway, Mingjing was helpless.

They are already like arrows, just because they want to wait for Changsheng to accompany them, they have been delayed so far, and they have resigned to the old lady at the reception banquet last year. They had to wait for Mingjing to come back to ask about the situation, and then quit their jobs and left, just before dark, leaving the capital and resting at the inn outside the east gate of the city, which was cheaper than the city.

Mingjing sat still, looked at Changsheng apologetically, and bowed to Wang Chunfa and Zhou Ansheng: "I'm sorry, there is a sudden emergency at home, not only can I not go along, but I also delayed your trip."

It turned out that the reason why the county lord of Anyang was in a hurry to marry was to rejoice the emperor Li Yuan.

Since the Xuanwumen Incident last year, although Li Yuan judged the situation and assessed the situation, in order not to hurt the country's capital, and also to reduce the tragedy of slaughter, so that Li Shimin would not kill Jiancheng and Yuanji, he fully supported Li Shimin's succession to the throne, so as to stabilize the situation and not cause greater chaos.

But Li Shimin did not let go of the princelings as he wished, in order to vent his anger and to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, he instead went on a killing spree, slaughtered the children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and belittled several clans with the closest relationship with the prince.

Li Yuan watched his two biological sons and dozens of young grandchildren die tragically under the butcher's knife of another son, some of them were even in infancy, and the Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace's Mansion were full of blood and corpses, like a hell on earth, and his soul was hit hard but he was helpless, and he was immediately disheartened and abdicated, and the self-proclaimed Emperor did not listen to the world.

But under the heavy blow, he was too sad, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time, and his eyes were full of splendid prosperity and warblers, and he couldn't show his face, and finally he was too worried and hurt his vitality, and his body was almost like a day, and he dragged on until the end of the New Year.

Of course, Li Shimin knew the real reason why his father, who had practiced martial arts all his life, was seriously ill, and under the guilt, he not only looked for famous doctors everywhere, but also personally served the illness with the empress eldest grandson, hoping that Li Yuan could live for a few more years, and he could also block the mouth of the world, so as not to be said to kill his brother and nephew and kill his father.

In order to atone for his sins and to appease Li Yuan's soul, he also asked the monks to recite scriptures for their brothers and nephews who died tragically, and gave them a posthumous tribute one by one, and built a cemetery to prepare for a grand burial.

But none of these can calm the great pain in Li Yuan's heart, he has nothing to love, although he guarded a room of imperial doctors, drinking the best medicine bowl by bowl, Li Yuan's condition is still getting worse and worse, and gradually he can't even sit, the imperial doctor can't take the pulse and say no, he can only use the old ginseng to hang his breath, saying that it will drag on for ten days at most, and some important ministers propose to see if they can think of Zi Chongxi, maybe the emperor will have a rescue.

It just so happens that there are no marriageable princes and princesses at this time, the county lord of Anyang is the niece of the emperor, and it is reasonable to use her to be happy, and if the emperor dies, her marriage will be delayed for three years, and the county lord of Anyang is not young, and some can't afford to delay.

Li Shimin loves his uncle very much, and he also loves this cousin more, in order not to miss her youth, and in order to block the world's long mouth for the emperor Chongxi, he simply rewarded a rich dowry, so that she thought that the name of the emperor Chongxi would marry three days later, and after getting married, she would mention the reward for Mingqing.

Ming Che is still Bai Ding's identity at present, it is said that the dignified county lord cannot still have a Bai Ding, Li Shimin should first give Ming Che the title of official, and then give him the mansion, so that he can marry the county lord of Anyang in his own mansion, and then move to the county lord's mansion, but now let Ming Che marry Anyang directly in the county lord's mansion, as if he is rich.

It seems that Li Shimin is still angry with Mingche, and he can't bear to kill him, but he can't let go of his knot and forgive him, so he humiliates Mingche so much. It may also be that King Huai'an was afraid that Mingche would not treat his daughter sincerely, so he used this to suppress Mingche and let him understand that his future glory and wealth were all because of Anyang, so as to treat Anyang well in the future.

Emperor Li Yuan's illness can not be delayed any longer, the matter is urgent, so early this morning, the Huai'an palace sent people, and sent three thousand taels of silver and some necessary things to marry, saying that the county lord's mansion has been given yesterday, it is the mansion of a marquis of the previous dynasty, there has been someone to guard and clean it, everything is well preserved, just need to add some things and dress up, the palace and the palace have sent a powerful person to clean up the arrangement, Ming Che only needs to enter the county horse mansion as soon as possible and wait to marry the county lord of Anyang.

Although there is Huai'an Wangfu to take care of it, it must be Mingche's marriage, the Xie family still has a lot of things to prepare, and the time is only three days, so Mingjing and Changsheng can't go.

With the current situation of the Xie family, manpower and financial resources are extremely scarce, how can such a big thing be done properly, Xinghao Huai'an Wangfu is empathetic and sent silver, the old lady is not a lady of the family, she is happy, she quickly calmed down, and arranged the matter of welcoming her relatives very thoroughly, not only the task of Mingjing is extremely heavy, Changsheng, as the only daughter-in-law of the Zhou family at present, has also undertaken many things, at this time, it is impossible to return to Ning anyway.

Changsheng smiled secretly, this county lord of Anyang is a real upside-down girl, it seems that she has a true affection for Mingche, but it is not a good thing to have such a high-flying and domineering county lord's sister-in-law who doesn't like her, I just hope that she can see Mingqing's face in the future and truly love Jinshu.

It's just that Mingche will treat Anyang sincerely? Such a high-spirited person, will he hold a grudge against Anyang when he is humiliated by this? Probably not, although Mingche's heart is high, he is also a person who is very good at judging the situation, even if he is grateful, even if he is for the future and fate of himself and his family, he will treat the county lord of Anyang well on the surface.

According to the old lady's arrangement, Changsheng and Mingjing had to follow Mingche into the newly given county lord's mansion after lunch to take care of the marriage, and the uncle Wang Chunfa and the eldest brother Zhou Ansheng finally did not wait to walk with Changsheng all the way, so they had to return home with Changsheng's family letter and various gifts.

Changsheng watched the carriage drift away from afar, and suddenly realized that unconsciously, her parents in her previous life were becoming blurred, and she had really regarded the Zhou family as her maiden family from the heart. Mingjing looked at her with reluctance, and regardless of being at the gate, he took her hands and said guiltily: "Changsheng, I'm sorry, you can't go home to visit your parents, don't worry, when everything settles down after the eldest brother gets married, we will go back."

Changsheng nodded, smiled and said, "I'm fine, mainly because I miss my father, and I also feel that it's too depressing here, and I want to go out and breathe."

Mingjing remembered something, sighed, looked at Changsheng earnestly and said: "I know you don't want to see the second brother again, don't worry, we will soon go to the Anyang County Lord's Mansion to take care of it, although there is help from the palace and the Huai'an Palace, but no matter how our Xie family marries a daughter-in-law, we must be busy, that is, after getting married, there are still many things to do, and when this matter is over, I will accompany you to Ningning, not to mention that in the future, at least there will be a long time without meeting with the second brother, and we will make plans in the future to see if we can find a way to live at home." ”

Changsheng understood that what he said was that if she didn't want to live at home and face the Ming and Qing Dynasties, she would see if she could let Ming Che find a way to live in the county lord's mansion, which was also what she didn't want, how could it be regarded as a host, she didn't want to see the Ming and Qing dynasties, and she didn't want to see the county lord of Anyang, she wanted to really belong to her own home, but can this wish come true? There is an old lady one day, they have to live in the Xie Mansion to fulfill their filial piety, even if they want to live in the Anyang County Lord's Mansion, it is just a luxury, let alone live in a separate household.

Thinking that it is likely that she will have to send someone under the fence for a long time, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are what she doesn't want to see at all, Anyang has always been sneering at her, obviously she doesn't like her, and it is not comfortable to live on any side, Changsheng is a little depressed, and can't help but ask knowingly: "Where do we live if we don't live at home?" The county lord's mansion was not given to us by the emperor. ”

Ming Jing was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he also understood the meaning of Changsheng, although it was better to live in the county lord's mansion than at home, so he didn't need to see Ming Qing's disgusting face, but it was not his own home, especially he knew very well that the county lord of Anyang was arrogant and mean, and he didn't like Changsheng, even if he didn't live in the Xie family and lived in the county lord's mansion with his eldest brother, Changsheng would not be happy.

To be happy, unless there is a home that really belongs to him, but can he give Changsheng a home of his own?

Seeing his appearance, Changsheng regretted that he shouldn't have stabbed him like this, this era is like this, after his parents passed away, it is still a shame to live separately for his ancestors, not to mention that there is still a grandmother in the hall? If you want to divide your family and live separately, unless Mingjing enters the official career and is released as an official or Beijing official is big enough, but this is not something that can be done in one day or two, at present, they can only send people to the fence.

She grabbed Mingjing with some guilt: "Let's go in and clean up, didn't you say that you were going to leave for the county lord's mansion after lunch?" ”

Mingjing nodded, his mood was also a little heavy, anyway, few people came to the mountain residence, so he took Changsheng's hand regardless of it, and the two of them went home together, went to the old lady to obey the order, and saw what arrangements she had for the marriage.

Just after walking a few steps, Jin Shu ran over with tears on her face, and then followed by a panting full house and a helpless clarity on her face.

Seeing Jin Shu's appearance, Changsheng was very distressed, and all the unhappiness just now immediately disappeared, and there was only Jin Shu in his heart.

She squatted down, hugged Jinshu, who was crying in her arms, wiped her tears, knowing that she must have heard the news that Mingche was going to marry the county lord of Anyang and couldn't accept it, so she was in such a state, Changsheng clearly remembered that Shu'er had always disliked the county lord of Anyang.

Poor child, who has just been reunited with his father, but his stepmother is about to get started. She sighed and asked softly, "What's the matter, Shu'er?" Is such a big child still crying? You didn't cry when your aunt left, but if your aunt doesn't leave, you cry so sadly? ”
