453 visitors gathered
In the Jiang Mansion, everyone up and down abandoned their bright satin clothes and changed into plain white robes.
Jiang Shuncheng even ordered the Yu family to make a white gauze robe overnight, covering his body, saying that he wanted to wear filial piety for Emperor Qi Huizu. He is the same age as the first emperor, and he has decades of friendship between monarchs and ministers, so he should be filial to him.
Jiang Shuncheng put on a white veil, and Pingxi Hou also put on a white veil, covered the outside of the public robe, and walked the official office of Jinyang Mansion.
For a time, the officials of Jindi wore white yarn in and out of the official office.
Not to be left behind, Yu pinned white flowers on her head, and Su Yan also had a beautiful white velvet flower in her hair, removed the gorgeous and eye-catching headdress, and only wore those two sets of plain clothes.
Early in the morning, people gathered in the kitchen to chat.
"Alas, the first emperor was a Ming monarch, why did he die?"
Pan'er led the girl to the kitchen to get morning food.
Bai Yan said with a smile: "The new emperor is His Royal Highness King Wu in the past, and he is a wise king. ”
Someone immediately asked: "Miss Baiyan is from the imperial city, tell me quickly, how old is the new emperor?" ”
"The new emperor is not very old, but he is in his twenties, he is a well-known beautiful man in the imperial city, he is the proud student of Mr. Zhu Wu, the first Hongru, and he also has a nickname in the imperial city, known as 'Langya Gongzi', and we Wenzhong Houfu also have a good relationship."
The girls praised that the new emperor was in his twenties and a beautiful man, and there was nothing more reverie than this.
Pan'er was dressed in a decent cocoon satin robe, with a few elegant pieces of jewelry on her head, and she was also a young lady from a wealthy family, although she was not particularly eye-catching, but she was also dressed appropriately.
Bai Yan called "Miss Pan" and went to prepare Su Yan's morning meal.
Pan'er said: "The county lord's aunt is up?" ”
"Alas. The county lord read the book for a long time yesterday. Sleep late, and rest now. ”
While chattering, Mama Tian went to the kitchen. "One by one, they didn't do anything, and they messed around again. Several lords and wives with heads and faces in Jinyang City arrived, and quickly sent the tea to the Xiangrui Courtyard Hall. ”
The girls didn't dare to speak anymore and did things with their heads bored.
Pan'er asked, "Miss Baiyan, why haven't you seen Mama Qing these days?" ”
Bai Yan replied: "The county lord allowed her to take three days off, and she was accompanied by Mama Tian's son, Steward Jiang, to Tianjiazhuang, Nanqiao Township. ”
"Where to do what?"
"Mama Qing has no children under her knees, and her husband's family was surnamed Tian earlier, and she is Mama Tian's maiden nephew. I want to choose an heir from the Tian family to inherit the incense. ”
Each holding their morning food in their hands, moved to the same direction but to different courtyards.
The visiting lords and ladies of Jinyang City gathered in the hall of Xiangrui Courtyard, saying that they were visiting, but it was better to sing praises to Jiang Shuncheng. praised his contribution to Jinyang, and even the patriarch of the Dongtang Jiang clan and several people with heads and faces came.
The ladies and old ladies spoke with Yu.
Mrs. Kong said abruptly: "Old lady, the concubine heard that your nephew Yu Jianbai has recovered his fame. ”
Yu Shi was slightly stunned, "Is the case investigated clearly?" ”
Mrs. Kong said: "I heard that Lord Qiao, the governor of Jinyang, has thoroughly investigated the case, and this investigation is only in Jinyang. Within 20 years, there were six people who passed the examination, and they were also framed for fraud and were robbed of their fame. ”
The wife of the Dongtang Jiang clan said: "I have also heard about this. It's still being investigated, but I'm afraid there are quite a few. ”
"There are six people in Jinyang alone, but I'm afraid there are quite a few of them. Yu Jianbai was restored to his fame two days ago, and Zeng Chi, the Zeng family's sister-in-law who was driven out of the Zeng family's mansion by his concubine, also recovered his fame. Lord Qiao has been presented to the court. Explain the matter. ”
Qiao Tai has been waiting for more than ten years, and now he has finally got a real job, and he has to do a good job to strive to do a good job as a magistrate, and now he has a relationship with Wenzhong Houjiang's family, Qiao Tai is even more confident, and wants to use this matter to pave the way for himself.
Mrs. Tang sighed lightly, "King Jing doesn't know how many scholars have been harmed by Lu Dao in Jindi. It's no wonder that the ninth master of my family is reluctant to join the ranks. Winning the exam can also be framed for cheating, and so many capable people are for the same reason. ”
On the other side of the hall is where the men talk, and the women gather in the side hall to gossip.
The people were too busy, so Pan'er went to the flower hall where the female guests gathered to serve tea and behaved decently. Yu Shi Nian and their sisters have no mother, and they have been guiding and training a lot these days.
The sisters Pan'er and Rou'er are also attentive, and the Yu family said it twice at most, and then they remembered it and did it decently.
Mrs. Kong looked at Pan'er, "Yo...... Who's this? ”
The daughter-in-law of the head of the Jiang clan in Dongtang tilted her head and looked at it carefully, "Which young lady in the Jiang clan is it?" ”
Pan'er leaned over and replied softly: "Back to the ladies, the little girl Yu Pan'er asks the ladies to say goodbye." "The demeanor is generous, the words are appropriate, Yu Shi looks at it in his eyes, and he is very comforted. Compared with the daughter of the Jiang family, she felt more and more that the women of the Yu family were more pleasing to the eye.
Everyone came back to their senses, and it turned out to be the niece and granddaughter of the Yu family.
Yu's face was pitying, "Pan'er, this child's life is hard, he has no mother at a young age, I feel distressed when I look at it, and I left their family to live." When I returned to the Imperial City this time, I was going to take their family to the Imperial City to settle down. Moreover, her second brother Zhenghao is a good person, and he was promoted to Enke last year, and he happened to take him to study in the imperial city. "The Yu family has been thinking recently, if Brother Yu Maoxue is not in prison, knowing that Zhenghao Township has won the test, will he also calculate Zhenghao?
Mrs. Kong thought that it had been more than ten years since Yu Jianbai was framed for fraud in the field this time, and the case was turned over, and Yu Jianbai was innocent. Mrs. Kong also heard about Yu Zhenghao's promotion, but she didn't think that this young offspring was actually the brother of the young lady surnamed Yu in front of her.
A family must have someone to join the ranks to be able to support it.
This Yu family's concubine is convicted, and the son-in-law will definitely be able to regain control of the court, but I am afraid that the glory of the ancestor is imminent.
Mrs. Dongtangjiang asked first: "I wonder if Miss Yu said that she kissed?" ”
Yu smiled, "Alas, among my maiden nephews, my most distressed is their family." It has been said that the marriage of these nephews and granddaughters will be decided by me. The child is not very old, and if I wait, I will keep her with the little girl, so that they can learn the rules, and secondly, I will have more people to talk to. ”
Sister Pan'er is also sensible, simple-minded, always grateful, never over-the-top, and does not do things that are out of line. Always put the Yu family first. On this point, Yu is quite satisfied.
The wife who had an idea didn't say anything at the moment, and made it clear that the Yu family took their family to the imperial city, which was to help and help, but I was afraid that their sisters would have a good future.
Speaking here, a girl wearing a light blue hanglin and a small white velvet flower came in, owed, and sweetly called "Aunt Grandmother" and approached Yu with a smile, holding a newly made forehead wipe in her hand, "Aunt and grandmother said that she had a headache, I deliberately made a forehead wipe, you can try it to see if the size is appropriate." ”
Yu smiled, motionless, and let Rou'er try it on his head.
Pan'er reprimanded: "It's not like this, just broke in like this, but let the guests see the joke." ”
Rou'er didn't pay attention to it, but said: "I'm learning from Sister Bai Zhi, if I don't try it, I don't know the size of the road." Try the size to turn back and embroider. ”
Yu just smiled brightly and dotingly.
These two sisters have no mother, and the Yu family treats them well these days, and they are also the elders that the Yu family respects the most. Yu casually said that he had a headache, so he wanted to wipe her forehead, which was a dark blue material, and the stitches were fine and well-proportioned.
Rou'er tried the size and retired.
Yu was full of joy and asked Pan'er, "Can your eldest brother and second brother read in the house?" ”
"Yes. I'm studying with my cousin. The eldest brother has finally read the book with peace of mind these days, and a few people chanted poems against each other, and Pan'er didn't understand much, but he listened to what they said and fell in love. ”
"Just study with peace of mind."
Rou'er hung her head, "It's just my father, who seems to be a little idle and uneasy." I can't read a book, I don't feel good when I eat, and I'm in a hurry in the house. ”
Yu Shi smiled, "Go back and find someone to talk to your father, and he will be at ease." Summoning him into the hall and sitting down and chatting with the others. ”
Immediately, some of the wives present asked about Yu Jianzhang, and when they heard that they were in their thirties and nearly forty, they all frowned.
In the next few days, people came to visit every day, and even the merchants and lords of the Jin Dynasty who had several connections with Jiang Shuncheng in the early years came to visit from hundreds of miles away.
During this period, there were inevitably people who interceded for the convicted officials and businessmen, and Jiang Shuncheng's sentence of "only talking about the wind and snow, not about officialdom" blocked everyone's mouths.
Yu was upset, and Yu Maocai's wife brought Jianzhong and Jiantong's wives to see him.
It's not so much a visit, it's better to cry with the Yu family about the fall of the Yu family, but also to cry about poverty, saying how many children and grandchildren there are in the family now, and how many fields and shops there are.
He also said that the Xiling Jiang family picked a young and beautiful lady to train in one place, and also wanted to sacrifice the daughter of the Yu family, and wanted the Yu family to take it to the imperial city to recuperate.
When the Yu family heard this, they were furious and scolded: "I took Pan'er and Rou'er to the imperial city, not to be concubines, but to find a good family to marry as the main family." You don't take the daughter of the Yu family as a gift, and I advise you to do less of this kind of dirty thing. In a word, he pushed back their words.
Seeing that their faces were ugly, he said, "Brother Yu Maoxue's case will not be settled in a long time." When the time comes, I will come back from asking for the family business, and divide it into two parts, one is Maocai's, and the other is my eldest brother's house, so don't deceive people anymore. ”
As soon as Mao Cai heard this, he knew that it would not take long for the Yu family to regain their former wealth, for fear of angering the Yu family, and not mentioning what the Yu family was unhappy with.
The people who sent away the Yu family to visit, and the wives from the Dongtang Jiang family, most of them were two people who had good friends with the Yu family in the early years, and they were not talking about their son's future, or their daughter's family affairs. Yu Shi only said: "If Erlang is angry, he will raise people in the examination first." ”
