Chapter 40: Father's Love

The friend surnamed Wu from Jiangnan not only brought Xu Guangli's incriminating evidence, but also said Xu Guangli's gossip, don't look at Xu Guangli who is nearly seventy years old this year, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a very important official in the frontier, in the Xu family, he clearly has several concubines, and he doesn't know how many concubines there are in secret.

Lust is the norm for the children of the Xu family, and there are many people in the Xu family who are attached to Xu Guangli.

Although Xu Guangli is lustful, he has outstanding political achievements, and he is also honest and honest in the pastoral area, and it is not a big mistake to have a few more concubines or have an improper relationship with someone else's wife, besides, men and women love you and I will, as long as no one reports and denounces, Xu Guangli can naturally continue to be his feudal official and auxiliary minister.

Even if there is a little rumor, Xu Guangli will use others to top the tank for himself, so his brothers are not very good.

"Xiao Jieyuan take a good look at my face, look at ...... carefully" Second Master Jiang almost put his face under Xiao Ruihua's nose, "Some masters say that my daughter will be rich and noble in the future, and she will be a first-class lady, but no one says that I have a rich life, they all say that I expect others to eat and drink without worry, in fact, I also want to do something for my children." ”

If the civil and military forces are not successful, Jiang Erye has no chance to make contributions if he wants to.

However, it is too tiring and too hard work to make contributions, and Jiang Erye thinks that it is more suitable for him to eat, drink and have fun.

Xiao Ruihua looked at Jiang Erye seriously for a long time, since he had the intention to marry his sister to Jiang Wenjin, he would inquire about the news of Jiang Erye's family, some people said that Jiang Erye was stupid, some people said that he was simple, some people said that he was good at fighting, and some people said that it was useless to laugh at him...... But none of the many news shows that Jiang Erye is lustful.

Does Second Master Jiang have anything to do with the Xu family?

Xiao Ruihua is a little uncertain, the reason why he dares to let Jiang Erye be the target is because of the Xu family's bloodline in Jiang Erye.

Although Xu Guangli is lustful, his wife and concubine only gave birth to a baby son, and his grandson has not yet made one, but he has stolen a lot of daughters...... Perhaps he has done too many wrong things and is cursed by God, and few of his illegitimate daughters live long.

Either a violent death or a tragic death.

Not to mention leaving him a grandson, so Xu Guangli pays great attention to his bloodline and is extremely protective of his bloodline.

As long as Jiang Erye has the blood of the Xu family, Xu Guangli will never put him to death unless it is absolutely necessary, as long as the emperor is suspicious, Xu Guangli will not be able to assist the prince from entering Beijing, and after it is revealed that Xu Guangli framed the loyal Yang family, the emperor will not leave him at all.

But looking at Jiang Erye now, it is difficult to contact Xu Guangli.

"What the hell is going on? When will I be rich? ”

"Uncle Jiang, have you ever heard of the Loyal Yang Sect?"

"The story of the Yang family general? I've heard it, isn't it a famous anti-gold general, there is a storyteller in the tavern teahouse who said Yang Jiajiang, I hear that my ears are calloused, I ......" Jiang Erye looked left and right, and whispered to Xiao Ruihua: "You said that Yang Linggong is very powerful, seven sons and eight sons-in-law, he still has the ability to win battles?" Look at me, it's nothing, but all these years have passed, and there is only one son and one daughter. ”

"It's not the Yang family general of the Northern Song Dynasty, it's the loyal Yang Gate of our dynasty!" Xiao Ruihua's thinking has been completely disrupted by Jiang Erye.

"Oh."

Second Master Jiang nodded, "I only know that the Yang family is the grandfather of the prince of Qin, if it weren't for the marriage contract, I might not know this." ”

"You don't know what happened to the earth-shattering case more than ten years ago?"

"I've heard of it, but I'm not interested."

Jiang Erye's fingers tapped on the grasshopper locked in the bamboo tube, and the grasshopper chirped as he tapped it, as if this was their unique method of communication, "Since Xiao Jieyuan is not here to repent of his marriage, nor is he here to tell my fortune, then I will go first." “

"Uncle Jiang doesn't admire Yang Shuai? Yang Shuai, the king of Qin who died young, and Ling Zun, can have the friendship of comrades. ”

"Look at the three people you said, which one of them has me to live comfortably and happily? Yang Shuai died of a thousand cuts, the old King Qin died without illness, and my father ...... He is better than those two, but he has never competed with his mother all his life, and also, if he didn't compete with his mother, maybe he would follow in the footsteps of those two, so it is not necessarily a bad thing to say that blessings and misfortunes lurk, and the love of children and daughters. ”

It is difficult for Xiao Ruihua to find the courage to speak, and he also has the heart to never talk to Jiang Erye again, so he will come for nothing today.

"What exactly is Xiao Xie Yuan going to say? Please tell me plainly, I don't have a good brain, and if you don't, I'll really go. ”

"You ......"

When Xiao Ruihua felt that Jiang Erye's IQ was negative, Jiang Erye suddenly became smarter, as Xie Yuan, he was made up of Jiang Erye, who claimed to be stupid, Xiao Ruihua didn't know if he should cry for himself, his IQ may not be high.

"Don't be surprised, I didn't mean to trick you, what I said was my original idea, and until now I still don't understand why you came to see me in the teahouse. But my daughter has explained that anyone who comes close to me and talks to me about big things, and says things that I don't understand or understand, are not good people. ”

"......" Xiao Ruihua only felt bitter in his throat, and didn't dare to say that he was a good person, but according to Jiang Erye, how could he be like a villain, "Ling Ai is really high." ”

"That's, why don't I be able to mess around in the capital for so long without an accident? My daughter taught me a lot of rules for playing outside, and every time someone came to find fault, I could find their sinister intentions. The one I said just now has never been practiced, if I didn't meet Xiao Xie Yuan today, I don't know if it's good or not. For your sister's sake, my son's sweetheart, even if you are a bad person, I will stay and listen to your purpose. I'm about to become an in-law, if you have difficulties, I will definitely help. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, who made my son fall in love with your sister."

Second Master Jiang waved his hand generously, and Xiao Ruihua smiled bitterly, "Since my uncle is an understanding person and is willing to help, then I will make a long story short, I have a piece of evidence here, and someone needs to go up to the emperor to listen." ”

"It's a bit of a big deal...... I don't have the qualifications to go to court, even if I want to help you transfer it, I can't see Your Majesty. ”

"You are now the son of the lord of Jiamin, and the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yongning, so you naturally have to go to the imperial court. I won't hide it from you, this evidence involves Yang Shuai's unjust case back then, as long as you can make Your Majesty suspicious, uncle, you are the great benefactor of the Yang family, and you will definitely get benefits after success, or inherit the title, or enjoy wealth forever, you don't have to rely on your children to become rich, but you can shade Jiang Wenjin. ”

"I don't think there's any shame in relying on my daughter to get rich, but I'm very happy, it proves that I have raised a good daughter who is filial, and I have at least one thing in this life that others can't compare."

“……”

The headache came again, and Xiao Ruihua was dumbfounded by Jiang Erye. "If I don't send evidence to the emperor, will you reconsider Ling Mei's marriage to my son?"

"Uncle Jiang...... I just want my sister to live a happy and prosperous life, I only have such a sister......"

Xiao Ruihua understood that using Jiang Wenjin was the only chance to break Jiang Erye, originally according to his thoughts, even if Jiang Erye did not send evidence to the emperor, he would not object to Xiao Zhuohua's marriage with Jiang Wenjin, and his sister even gave up the prince's side concubine, so it can be seen that she really likes Jiang Wenjin.

Although Jiang Wenjin is a little more honest, he is sincere to his sister and is willing to listen to his sister's words, Xiao Ruihua can calculate anyone, but he will not use his only sister, he also has the confidence that he can still become famous without relying on his sister to marry into a famous family.

These words, he can't talk to Jiang Erye at this time, he can only be specious, so that Jiang Erye misunderstands, for the sake of the overall situation...... Xiao Ruihua obviously knew that it was right to do this, but he was vaguely a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Second Master Jiang put the gnatwood cage to his ear, listened carefully, and sighed: "Old friend, we won't see each other for a while, when Yaoyao feeds you, you will use some of it, and when I come back, I will make you something to eat." ”

"Bring the incriminating evidence."

"Uncle Jiang." Xiao Ruihua didn't want to show evidence at this time, "You don't think about it anymore?" ”

"In fact, my daughter also said that she is very strong and capable, as long as she can break all the conspiracies and tricks with her heart, she said that when someone threatens me, I must tell her, and leave everything to her to solve, as long as I can be safe, it is victory."

A smile appeared on Jiang Erye's lips, "I have been dragging her down all these years, as a father, I should always leave something to be proud of for my children, and I know the Yang Men unjust case...... I don't want to be the hero you call me, just to help my children. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In case Yaoyao marries the prince of Qin in the future, with my actions, how dare the prince of Qin treat Yaoyao badly? There's only so much I can do for her, and every father wants their children to be safe and happy. My boy loves Ling Mei very much, if I can't marry her, I'm afraid he will be seriously ill. ”

Jiang Erye put the incriminating evidence in his arms, stood up and stretched out his arms, and said to Xiao Ruihua: "You settle the bill for this meal." ”

The strong contrast made Xiao Ruihua completely dizzy, what kind of person is Second Master Jiang?

Jiang Erye walked out of the tea room without looking back, and said loudly: "Remember to help me send the gnats home and hand them over to Yaoyao to take care of." ”

The chirping of the grasshopper on the tea table was still crisp, Xiao Ruihua heard a trace of reluctance and sadness, raised his arm for a long time before slowly putting it on the cage of the grasshopper, at this time, what qualifications did he have to see Jiang Luyao again?

In order to achieve his goal, he put Jiang Er Ye in danger, Jiang Er Ye who lived comfortably in the restaurant and tea shop was the most lively, and Jiang Er Ye didn't need fame and fortune at all......

At this time, he understood the decision of the prince of Qin, he was not as good as the prince of Qin...... Obviously, the choice he made was the most correct.

Yongning Hou Mansion, Jiang Luyao separated the last eight-strand text with punctuation marks, shook her arm, and it was not easy to divide the eight-strand text, not only to be properly paragraphed and the sentences to be smooth, but also to take into account the difficulty of reciting......

Jiang Wenjin rubbed her eyes and said in admiration: "Little sister, you are too powerful." It's a lot easier to memorize than before, and this time I won't be unable to remember another one. “

"How many can you remember?"

"Eight out of ten are not a problem."

“……”

Jiang Luyao raised her hand and gave her stupid brother a brain jump, "You can't remember twenty articles, I will deduct your pocket money for a year." ”

It's just a test for Xiucai, the eight-strand text is relatively simple, and it has been re-marked by Jiang Luyao, if Jiang Wenjin can't memorize it anymore, Jiang Luyao can only think about how to go through the back door.

"Well, I'll try, try."

Watched by Jiang Luyao, Jiang Wenjin's endorsement effect has really accelerated a lot, and where it is difficult to memorize, Jiang Luyao will break the crumpled words sentence by sentence, until Jiang Wenjin understands, when the two of them carried the palm lamp in the study, Jiang Luyao glanced outside and wondered: "It's so late, why hasn't Dad come back yet?" There's his favorite roast duck tonight, how could he not come back for dinner? ”

"Little sister, don't worry, there is a roast duck dinner, and Daddy will fly back even if he is on the horizon."

Jiang Erye's love for roast duck has surpassed anyone or anything.

"Second Miss, someone wants to see you at the gate of the mansion." Jasmine replied outside the study.

"Who?"

"Mask-covered, the slave doesn't know, but he said it's about the second master, please go out quickly."

Jiang Luyao's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, about Jiang Erye? Daddy is in trouble again? Fought with whom? Or which noble person was beaten?

"Brother, you continue to endorse, and I'll go back when I go."

"Why don't I go with you?"

"No, outsiders in the Hou Mansion can still bully me? Daddy's temperament, you also know, can't make a big deal, maybe it's a friend of my dad who deliberately scares people, and if you go with you, I won't be able to retaliate. ”

"It's okay, if there's anything, you must tell me."

"Hmm."

Jiang Luyao stabilized Jiang Wenjin, and after leaving the study, she covered her chest, calm, if there is nothing to do, there must be nothing to do, and she walked quickly around the shadow wall, and when she saw the figure at the door, she was stunned for a while, "Prince of Qin?" How are you? “

It was already completely dark, and there were lanterns illuminated at the entrance of the Hou Mansion, and the faces of the people who came could still be seen clearly. When Jiang Luyao went out, the person who came removed the mask on his face, revealing a small half of his face, Zhao Duoze heard that Jiang Luyao recognized him, and his grim face was a little more proud, Yaoyao still cared about him, and he could recognize him just by his small half of his face and figure.

"I'll tell you something, don't worry."

"What's the matter?"

"Your father went to prison......"

When Jiang Luyao heard the news, she was like five thunderbolts, her body leaned back, Zhao Duoze didn't care about the difference between men and women, and grabbed Jiang Luyao's waist, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't you still have me?" ”

"How did he end up in prison?" Jiang Luyao smelled the smell of sweat coming from Zhao Duoze's body, and knew that he came over in a hurry to deliver the news, and felt a little more grateful to him in her heart, if someone else told her the news, she might not have calmed down so easily, "What are the details?" My dad couldn't have done the most heinous wrongdoing. “

From a modern point of view, imprisonment is equivalent to death.

In literary and artistic works, loyal ministers and good generals are all given to die in the prison, Jiang Erye is neither a framed loyal minister and a good general, nor a traitor full of evil, how could he enter the ghost place of the prison?

Zhao Duoze wanted to hug Jiang Luyao for a while, because he was also about to go to the prison to accompany Jiang Erye, who first told Xu Guangli, he didn't know if he could get out of the prison alive, although he and Xiao Ruihua both thought that the emperor would deal with Xu Guangli, but Xu Guangli was not without a chance to turn the tables.

Jiang Luyao is not a woman who is willing to take advantage of him, and it is in front of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Duoze slowly let go of his arm after seeing that she was emotionally stable, "Your father is very remarkable, and he directly took the evidence of the crime of Xu Guangli, the governor of Jiangnan, to see His Majesty." Lord Xu has a good reputation in the court and the opposition, and is regarded as one of the figures of the future auxiliary prince, you can imagine what kind of sensation your father caused in the court. ”

"Where did he get the incriminating evidence? Who gave it to him? ”

Zhao Duoze reluctantly swallowed Xiao Ruihua's name, and Jiang Luyao came up with the answer by himself, which was much better than stabbing Xiao Ruihua in the back, Xiao Ruihua was too dangerous and cunning, since he was a rival in love, he couldn't help but prevent Xiao Ruihua from reversing black and white.

Although Jiang Luyao is not easy to deceive, who can guarantee that Xiao Ruihua will not succeed?

Zhao Duoze was very jealous of Xiao Ruihua.

"There is no one among my father's friends who is good enough to grasp the evidence of Lord Xu's crimes, and I don't understand why my father is allowed to fire a cannon even if someone wants to bring down Lord Xu. Where does he qualify to be involved in a big case? ”

"You really know your dad and your dad's friends."

He hadn't seen anyone say this about his father, he was not qualified, and he used the word appropriately.

"Did the emperor ask someone to thoroughly investigate Lord Xu?"

"Nope."

"Damn it, Faint King!"

Jiang Luyao blurted out, Zhao Duoze looked up at the stars in the night sky, and fainted...... Isn't the emperor just a faint monarch, he has wanted to say this for a long time, but he has never had the courage to speak, but now he hears it from Jiang Luyao's mouth, it is the same relief and the same cool.

Zhao Duoze felt a hint of confidant to Jiang Luyao.

"Your father is imprisoned in the prison, Xu Guangli is a villain, but don't worry, I'm ...... I'll help you. ”

"Do you know why my father reported Xu Guangli?"

"It's not good to be too smart a woman, Yaoyao, there are some things I can't talk to you about, I came today in addition to telling you the news of my father, another thing is...... If I'm alive next month, can you marry me? ”

“……”

Jiang Luyao didn't know whether to agree or refuse, she was stared at by Zhao Duoze's dark eyes, she had sour feelings in her heart, and she also had a strange feeling.

"You don't have to answer me, if I don't die, your father won't die." Zhao Duoze said with a low smile: "After your father became a great hero, no one in the world would agree to not be the prince of Yongning, please seal the prince is your Jiang family's business, if the emperor decrees, your grandmother still dares to disobey the holy order?" ”

"What if you die? Will something happen to my dad? ”

“…… You want me to die? You don't pretend to be anyone else in your heart except your father? ”

"You and I are not related, why do you pretend to be you? How are you? Jiang Luyao vented the negative emotions buried deep in her heart in front of Zhao Duoze, "If you really want to help me, let me go to the prison to see him, and if I don't say a few words to him personally, I don't worry." ”

"No one can enter the prison without a holy decree."

Zhao Duoze grabbed Jiang Luyao's arm and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I ......" Jiang Luyao already had a layer of tears in her eyes, and shook her head: "I don't know what to do, but I always have to do something for my father, I can't watch him suffer in the prison, I ...... What can I do? It's not ...... here I can't do anything. "Zhao Duoze, am I useless? Normally, I feel that I can go to heaven and earth, and I can solve any problem, but in fact, I am useless, and I can't help him at all when I see him suffering in the prison. ”

If it was in modern times, Jiang Luyao could find the best lawyer and get through the relationship, but in ancient times, she didn't even know who to look for, she couldn't see the emperor, and she couldn't find anyone to help, so she could only watch helplessly as things got out of her control.

"Yaoyao, no."

Zhao Duoze wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes distressedly, although Jiang Luyao was as weak as a girl at this time, unlike the fierce and domineering when he used to treat him, but he preferred to look at Jiang Luyao, who was full of confidence and pride with a smile before, "How could you be useless?" Leave everything to me, with me, I guarantee that your father is safe and sound. ”

"Trust me, okay?"

"You?"

A thought suddenly flashed in Jiang Luyao's head, grabbed the sleeve of Duo Ze's coat, and asked sharply, "Do you know who encouraged my father to sue Xu Guangli first?" Is he you...... No, it shouldn't be you. ”

"I have to think about it, think about it calmly."

Jiang Luyao pressed her temples with her palms of her hands, Jiang Erye didn't even go home, and went directly to the palace to sue Xu Guangli for the first time, proving that he knew that when he came back, he would definitely show his feet, and he would stop him, with his father's obedience, Jiang Luyao didn't believe that he would ignore his own intentions, it could only be that someone handed over Xu Guangli's incriminating evidence to him today, and then he entered the palace to meet the emperor.

Today he met the man who had bewitched him into complaining.

Zhao Duoze was very distressed about Jiang Luyao, who deduced the whole thing, but he didn't make a sound, how smart would Yaoyao be? He wanted to know Lu Dao, after all, she was the princess he identified, the smarter she was, the more she would help him, and he wouldn't have to fight with a bunch of people alone.

"Do you know the truth? My father is afraid of hardship, tiredness, death, pain, and trouble, and he wants to eat, drink and have fun in this life. Whether Xu Guangli is guilty or is still framed, according to common sense, my father will not care, that is, if someone promises heavy profits, glory and wealth, he will not be tempted, even if he is tempted, he will come back to discuss with me, because he is afraid that I will be angry and no longer care about him. ”

Jiang Luyao burst into tears and whimpered, "How could I ignore him? ”

Zhao Duoze stretched out his arm, hugged the helpless Jiang Luyao into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Yaoyao, I'll help you take care of Second Master Jiang." ”

“…… He would do it, and there was only one possibility, for my brother or for me...... Xu Guangli has an enmity with you, right, Xiao Ruihua wants to take advantage of this matter to get on the throne, right, you say that my father is not stupid, my biggest hope is that he can be peaceful, not married...... There are so many men, who can't I marry? ”
