Chapter 32: Getting down to business
Linjiang Hou watched Xu drift away in amazement, and he didn't relax for a long time.
Xu, who has always been gentle and submissive, looks arrogant and aggressive even on his back today. Linjianghou never dreamed that she would be like this, and for a while, her heart was numb and dizzy.
My cousin had no affection for him, the majestic Marquis of Linjiang and the unparalleled son of the world, which really hit the Marquis of Linjiang. He has always thought that he is a suave and charming person, and he has always thought that his cousin admires him and loves him, but Wei Guogong is cold and ruthless, and he insists on beating mandarin ducks, which causes him and his cousin to be separated from each other and cannot stay together.
"Men and women marry irrelevantly...... Men marry women, each has nothing to do with it......," Linjiang Hou murmured in a dejected whisper, looking melancholy and confused.
I don't know how long it took, a flowing and pure white dress appeared in front of him, which made his eyes shine. Raising his head, his sweetheart Ah Zhen Yingying stood up, smiling skillfully, with a smile that was both sweet and a little shy.
"I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed for Master Hou." Ye looked at him apologetically, his voice soft, as helpless as a little girl who had done something wrong.
Linjiang Hou sighed, "I can't blame you for this, Ah Zhen, I know that you are a kind heart." Seeing that his Ah Zhen Fan lowered her neck and was ashamed, she pulled her over in distress and let her sit beside her.
Ye Shi thanked him gratefully, "It's still the Hou Ye who loves me!" ”
"My Ah Hao hurts." Linjiang Hou said softly.
Ye was secretly happy, and hurriedly took the opportunity to confess, "Back then, I did everything possible to ask to see the sixth aunt and grandmother, just to show my heart, so that the sixth aunt and grandmother would not still abide by the marriage contract because of me." Today, I came out recklessly, and I also wanted to plead with my sixth aunt and grandmother, begging her to help Master Hou and Ling'er for the sake of her in-laws. ”
Ye knew very well in her heart that in the past ten or twenty years, she would not be able to go back to the capital. The Chen clan will not let her go, and Mrs. Hou's Qiu family will not let her go, if she follows Linjiang Hou back to Beijing, don't say that the days of commanding and wearing fine clothes and food will not even be able to save her life. If she wants to return to the capital, she can only hope for her only son, Chen Lingyun.
Only when Chen Lingyun grows up and has a future can she be raised in Chen Lingyun's house and be an old lady and an old feudal monarch. If Chen Lingyun is unproductive, she will be confessed in this life, and there is no hope.
Chen Lingyun's current situation is not much better than her. He had slashed Mrs. Linjiang Hou with a knife, and when he returned to Beijing, he didn't know what the road was waiting for. It is possible to be expelled from the clan, accused of disobedience, expelled from Beijing, neglected and despised, etc.
Since there are all kinds of disadvantages to returning to the capital, there is only no way to return for the time being. A young and beautiful woman, a seven-year-old child, if she can't return to Beijing with Linjiang Hou, how should she be placed? A young woman, a seven-year-old child, who can't hold up the door, lives together in South Park, which is not a way at all.
Linjiang Hou was first threatened by Mrs. Tai, and then persecuted by his cousin Xu, and he saw that he had to go. At this critical juncture, the Ye family couldn't even care about showing off their amorous feelings, and only hung on one thing in their hearts, "Our mother and son, what should we do in the future?" ”
Ye was also very confused, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only do his best to curry favor with Linjianghou, so that Linjianghou could do his best for her and try to plan for her.
Linjiang Hou was also at a loss, and his handsome face was covered with gloomy clouds, "It's best for you and Ling'er to go back to Beijing with me, but you can place your mother and son in a separate courtyard, and I often go over to visit." However, the Qiu family is vicious, and the Qiu family is cruel, if they take advantage of my absence, break in and take ...... you? ”
Linjiang Hou had a cold war, and the Ye family, like him, also felt scared. They have already seen Qiu's ruthlessness, with Qiu's temperament, if they knew that the Ye family was recuperating in another courtyard, Bao Buqi would take people, holding knives and axes, and run to the other courtyard to commit murder and evil.
When you go back to Beijing, you must not.
Staying in Suzhou, one is that the two are separated and can't bear it, and the other is that Ye, a young and weak woman, lives alone with her son, and no one takes care of her, which is inevitably desolate. Thinking about it, they were reluctant.
What can I do if I can't go, I can't stay? The two were in tears and sad in relative tears.
"Ling Er is such a good child, the Pei family will not look down on it!" Ye Shi was worried and angry again, "It's too visionary and indecisive, Ling Er is the son of the Hou Mansion." ”
If Pei Jiaken agrees, what are you worried about? Just entrust Ling'er to the Pei family. What is annoying is that the Pei family actually made a gesture to take Qiao and refused to nod. I don't know what the Pei family thinks, the granddaughter of the prefect, Ling Er, the son of the Hou Mansion, can't she still be insulted.
Linjiang Hou Ruo smiled, "Listening to the meaning of my cousin's words, I despise the concubine very much." The Pei family probably dislikes Ling Er's identity. ”
The "Household Law" clearly stipulates that "at the beginning of the engagement of a man and a woman, if there are disabled, old and young, concubines, living in a house, or begging, the two families must be clearly notified, and each according to his wishes, write a marriage letter, and marry according to the ceremony." "What do you want to make a special statement for? Because the concubine is the same as disability, housing, begging and other things, it is unusual, and it should be informed in advance. The concubine is always not as justifiable as the concubine.
"What's wrong with the concubine?" A flash of resentment flashed in Ye's eyes, "Is the one who came out noble?" I don't see it. As long as the child is good, what is the concubine? ”
Linjiang Hou let out a long sigh, "You think clearly." It's a pity that people as transparent as you are too rare and too rare. ”
The two of them looked at each other sadly, as if they had eaten a yellow lotus, bitter.
The Marquis of Linjiang was supposed to leave for Beijing, but he thought about the Ye family and Chen Lingyun, the eldest son of the eldest son, and hesitated to come and go, it was almost three days, and he still didn't leave.
Mrs. Tai said that she would sue him for disobedience, and the Xu family threatened him in person, but Linjiang Hou was lucky and kept comforting himself: Whether it is Mrs. Tai or his cousin, they are just talking, and they will not really do it.
The Marquis of Linjiang wrote a letter full of affection and ordered Pegasus to send it to Mrs. Tai in the capital. In the letter, he complained and begged, "The child is really sick, and now he is listless, can you bear to let the child run around on the road with illness?" Mother, you are the most reasonable, can you accommodate children for a few more months? ”
After the letter was sent, Linjiang Hou only accepted and agreed to his mother's hand, and no longer paid attention to the matter.
As for the Xu family, Linjianghou calmed down and thought about it, and felt that his cousin was just tough on the lips, but he was actually very weak and delicate. She is too kind, she will not be as vicious as Qiu.
Linjiang Hou decided to stay in Suzhou for the time being, until he came up with a good way to settle Ye and Chen Lingyun properly, and there were no worries.
On the fourth day after Xu's departure, Pei Erye visited South Park. He was dressed in a dark colored robe, showing off his appearance, and his expression was calm, as beautiful as the black-clothed children in the picture scrolls of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Linjiang Hou has always been conceited in appearance, but when he saw Pei Erye like this, he felt that "the pearl is on the side, and I feel that I am filthy", and he is ashamed.
Second Master Pei refused to sit down, and said with a smile: "There are still a few urgent official business in the Yamen, and I have to go back in a hurry." Close to each other, let's not pay attention to those false courtesies, Brother Chen, it is important to get down to business. ”
It's hard to get rid of the passengers, and Linjiang Hou felt a sudden break in his heart.
I don't even want to sit, Pei Er, is this your way of being a guest?
Second Master Pei took out a letter from his sleeve, "The secret news that my father came out of the capital in the same year is related to Brother Chen. Brother Chen, I don't know who wants to oppose you and instigate the imperial history to participate in you. There are two crimes to be played: unfilial piety and disobedience; Spoil concubines and kill wives. Brother Chen, if you are charged with these two crimes, maybe this Hou Ye will not be able to do it. ”
Both of these are very serious accusations.
Linjiang Hou was shocked.
"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely beautiful, Brother Chen, you can stay in Suzhou for a long time in the future and settle down in this Jiangnan water town. If you don't want to be a marquis of Linjiang, wouldn't it be interesting to be idle in Suzhou and wild cranes? Pei Erye said with a smile.
Linjiang Hou was not very bold, and after hearing Pei Erye's words, his soul flew out of the sky. Will the marquis title really not be kept? This is the inheritance passed down from the ancestors, and the descendants can't carry forward the family and return it, and the ancestral inheritance will be lost, which ...... Don't drown in the spittle of your people. Moreover, one day when they go to the earth, what face will they see their fathers and fathers?
It must have been instructed by the Qiu family! Linjiang Hou hated in his heart.
Who else hates me so much but Qiu? There will be no one else, only Qiu.
My cousin just threatened me, but Qiu Shi quietly put it into action! Linjiang Hou thought of what Mrs. Hou Qiu had done, and felt quite chilled.
"I'll go back to Beijing to settle accounts with her!" Linjiang Hou took the case.
The ancestral title cannot be lost, and the two scaring crimes of "unfilial piety and disobedience" and "spoiling concubines and destroying wives" can not be lost, so go back to Beijing and set off immediately.
As for Ah Zhen and Ling Er, they can't take care of it for the time being. "If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached"? If something really happens to the Linjiang Hou Mansion, where will they have a good life.
The Marquis of Linjiang ordered the people to pack their luggage immediately and set off tomorrow.
"Thank you Brother Pei for telling me about this, I am grateful, grateful." Linjiang Hou thanked him repeatedly.
Second Master Pei smiled lightly and said politely: "Don't accompany you." He turned and drifted away.
After Pei Erye left, Nanyuan became a pot of porridge. Linjiang Hou has always been particular about food and daily life, he has to leave to return to Beijing, and there are many things to prepare for daily use, Zhen Mama took people to pack their luggage, and she was busy and dizzy. Ye Shi knew that Linjiang Hou wanted to go back to the capital alone, and burst into tears, like a pear flower with rain, "Master Hou, what should I do with Ling'er?" ”
It's not safe to live here, if Qiu Shi sends his henchmen over, he can still sell her with his feet, and then escort Chen Lingyun back to the capital.
With Linjiang Marquis protecting her, the Ye family can live in a beautiful life; If Linjiang Hou was not by her side, she would immediately have no support and let others slaughter.
Linjiang Hou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he only said vaguely: "You live here first, and then you will talk later." "Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, I have to go back to Beijing first to stabilize the situation and keep the title of the Marquis of Linjiang. Others, we'll talk about it later, and we'll talk about it later.
Where is the Ye family willing to agree, blindly entangled with Linjianghou, and does not allow Linjianghou to leave her mother and son alone. Ye is usually gentle and understanding, but when it came to this fateful time, she was also anxious and quarreled with Linjiang Hou.
"You said you would take care of me for the rest of my life!"
"You said that I gave birth to children for you, and you will treat me well for the rest of your life!"
"Are you going to leave me behind, you're so ruthless."
Chen Lingyun ran over quickly, stood beside the Ye family, and looked at his father Linjianghou angrily, "How can you bully my mother?" Although he was young, his eyes were fierce and fierce, and the frightened Linjiang Hou was long-winded.
