Chapter 666: Everyone Has His Own Life
The heirloom of the Jiang family is actually a pair of shoes.
Everyone, including Yu Shu, thought it was a joke. However, after Mrs. Wei Guo told a short story of her ancestors, everyone suddenly realized and completely dispelled their doubts.
This goes back to a few generations ago, the grandfather of King Beijing's grandfather, was posthumously named by the first emperor as the prince of peace, King Beijing's branch is from the ancestor of the family, it is said that Jiang Taigong was born only a son of the Jiang family, his father ran a dart game, his mother was unkind, he lived a hard life when he was young, his neighbor Zhou Yuanwai had a daughter, and Jiang Taigong had no guesses, often secretly sent him food and clothes.
A few years have passed, Mrs. Jiang has grown into a handsome and calm young man, the Miss Zhou family is also beautiful, Mrs. Jiang intends to marry Miss Zhou, but was opposed by both parents, the Jiang family locked up Mrs. Jiang and broke one of his legs, Miss Zhou ran out when she heard the news, bought off the Jiang family's subordinates, and saved Mrs. Jiang, who was dying.
The two did not make a private life, Jiang Taigong had been in a slump, it was Miss Zhou who enlightened him and persuaded him to leave his hometown to find another way out, Jiang Taigong after this blow, after his leg injury healed, he decided to go north to join the army, before leaving, Miss Zhou prepared clothes for him to wrap up, thousands of instructions, but did not mention the two of them for life, Jiang Taigong thought that he was not worthy of her, so he did not dare to mention, after that day, he left his hometown and left with ambition.
coincided with the invasion of the Jin soldiers, the war in the north, and the rare and unpeaceful period in the history of the An Dynasty. After a year or two of training on the battlefield, the talent of military strategy also appeared. He was not afraid of death, and often acted as a vanguard to kill the enemy. Gradually, he became famous.
After more than ten years, the north was pacified, the young man returned to his hometown that day, and he had become a brave and warlike general, he finally raised his eyebrows and made a person who glorified his ancestors, the only fly in the ointment was that he fought for more than ten years as a single, and he was still single after the year of his establishment, and he was timid in his hometown. He has never forgotten Miss Zhou, who is kind to him, but after all these years, I am afraid that Yiren has long been married to a wife, and his children are around his knees.
Perhaps it was God's mercy, Mrs. Jiang sent someone to inquire about Miss Zhou's whereabouts, wanting to repay her for her kindness that day, but learned that after he left his hometown more than ten years ago, Miss Zhou said goodbye to her parents and left the house, went to the temple to shave her hair and become a sister-in-law. Vowed not to marry.
The ending of the story can be imagined, Miss Zhou, who has reached middle age, is no longer beautiful, and she thinks that she is not worthy of him now, and she is closed. But Mrs. Jiang still wholeheartedly begged to marry her, and he knelt at the temple gate three times, and finally touched Miss Zhou's heart.
Thereupon. This affectionate Miss Zhou became the general's wife of Mrs. Jiang in the end. The husband and wife got married late, but they were beautiful for a lifetime.
"These shoes. Before the grandfather left his hometown to join the army, his grandmother sewed it out with a needle and a thread, and the grandfather was reluctant to wear it, so he stayed at the bottom of the box until he reunited with his grandmother, and then took out these shoes and passed them on to his children and grandchildren in the future, so as to remind them that they must not be ungrateful, second, they must not be unambitious, and third, they must treat their wives well. β
Mrs. Wei Guo is worthy of being born in a scholarly family, this period of grassroots struggle history that is a bit vulgar in Yu Shu's opinion, was told by her vividly, thought-provoking, I didn't see a few sensitive little girls on the seat, hearing Miss Zhou's shaving hair and getting married, they all shed tears sadly, and then knelt down in front of Jiang Taigong Temple to beg for a virtuous wife, one by one, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were extremely yearning.
Yu Shu thought to herself, if Mrs. Wei Guo did not deliberately beautify the ancestors of the Jiang family, then this Mrs. Jiang could really be called a true man with the most affection and sexuality.
At least it is more respectable than the wife in the history of the wild who has been guarding the cold kiln for him for ten years to have children and eat chaff vegetables, and Xue Pinggui Xue Shimei, who married another princess after being developed later.
Oh, and the scum of her big brother.
"I wonder which lady guessed these shoes?" Mrs. Wei Guo looked at Situ Qinglan in the pavilion not far away with kind eyes.
Situ Qinglan just listened to the story, her eyes were also a little red, and she saluted Mrs. Weiguo and said, "The little woman is surnamed Situ, and the old academician of Taishi Shuyuan Fang is my maternal grandfather. β
Mrs. Wei Guo had never even heard of Situ Qinglan's name before, and Queen Rui gave her a matchmaker full of beautiful ladies and famous ladies, and there would never be such an orphan girl under the fence.
However, she still knows the Fang family, Mrs. Wei Guo knows it in her heart, but she does not show contempt, her smile becomes more and more kind, and she beckons to Situ Qinglan and says:
"Good boy, come to my side, and let me take a closer look at what kind of delicate mind you have to guess my riddle."
Seeing this, Situ Qinglan's breathing was a little short, her cheeks also turned red, and she was stared at by a hundred and ten pairs of eyes, but she had no stage fright, lowered her head and smoothed the corners of her skirt, walked around the seat, folded her hands in front of her abdomen, and stepped forward step by step.
And Cui Yun, who also guessed another puzzle, was completely ignored.
Cui Yun's face was very ugly, Cui Xin grabbed her before she lost her temper, pulled her back to sit down, looked at her with resentment, pinched her wrist, and said in a low voice:
"Forget it, it's you who didn't have that life."
She obviously told Cui Yun the last two mysteries, and asked her to say it in one go, no matter which one is the heirloom of the Jiang family, it is all in her pocket, but halfway through the killing of Situ Qinglan, Cui Yun pretended to be clever again, and rushed to guess the short dagger, but let Situ Qinglan hit the center of her eyebrows.
"Sister." Cui Yun was not convinced, but was coldly glanced at by Cui Xin, and did not dare to argue with her, but said quietly: "Hmph, I don't have that life, she has it?" It's just an orphan girl, and it's too low to be a concubine for King Dongjing. β
Fortunately, her voice was not high, and she was not heard, and Cui Xin didn't care about her complaints, but thoughtfully turned to look at Yu Shu, who was at the same table as Situ Qinglan, and frowned and thought:
How could Situ Qinglan just guess that it was those shoes, seeing that the relationship between Yu Lianfang and the county lord of Chunwei was very unusual, could it be that she was fueling the flames and ruining her good deeds.
Yu Shu didn't know that he was lying on the gun, and was whispering to Xin Liu Situ Qinglan: "Situ is really careful, I didn't guess that it was a pair of shoes, I thought it was a dagger." β
Xin Liu stuck out his tongue and said, "I also thought that Cui Yun's nasty ghost guessed it." β
Xin Liu has this benefit, if she is good friends with you, she will share the same hatred with you, Cui Yun herself didn't provoke Xin Liu, but she once targeted Yu Shu, Yu Shu didn't like others, so she also frowned coldly on others.
Childish, but worth communicating.
Of course, if it weren't for Yu Shu sacrificing himself to save Xin Liuyi's life from Ji Xingxuan, this stupid girl would have become an unjust ghost.
The two of them were in the dark, so the elders next to them were in a much more complicated mood, and Second Mrs. Xin took a sip of wine and said to her sister-in-law, Aunt Xue:
"I don't know if it's creation orβ"
"Ahem," Second Aunt Xue interrupted her, and compared her eyes to a few smaller ones, suggesting that she should not talk nonsense.
Mrs. Xin pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, anyway, the "good relatives" of the Beijing Palace, their Xin family will not touch it, this is her father-in-law's lesson, they obey it, and whoever else likes to rob it will rob it.
Second Aunt Xue was relieved, and gently touched Xue Jinxun's head, secretly glad that there was no accident today
Later, Situ Qinglan returned to her seat, but instead of taking back the heirloom shoes, she changed into a jade pendant worn by Mrs. Weiguo.
Here's the thing, it's not that Mrs. Wei denied it, but that Princess Changshu persuaded her a few words, saying that it was such a far-reaching heirloom that should not be given to outsiders, but should be passed on to her son and daughter-in-law in the future.
Mrs. Wei Guo didn't know that Princess Changshu was forcing her to express her position in disguise, or you gave this pair of shoes, and recognized this daughter-in-law today, and we can be regarded as completing the queen's explanation and solving your family's old difficulties.
Either you take the shoes back, don't give them to others in a clear way, occupy the pit and don't, you don't admit it when you turn around, and you have to worry about your family's idle affairs.
Mrs. Wei Guo is such a cautious person, how could she hastily engage her baby son with just a puzzle, this girl looks smart, but to be the daughter-in-law of their Jiang family, it is not enough to be smart, what kind of character is it, you have to inquire carefully.
Mrs. Wei Guo played a few Tai Chi tricks with Princess Changshu, deliberately made an embarrassed appearance, and looked at Situ Qinglan, who was waiting obediently.
Fortunately, Situ Qinglan is not without eyes, and her words are also beautiful: "Old lady, please listen to me, that is, you gave me this family heirloom, Qinglan also dare not bear it, don't go home to show solemnity, thank the old lady for her kindness, but this thing is too heavy, and the little woman does not dare to take it." β
So Mrs. Weiguo smiled, asked the maid to put away the shoes in the brocade box, took off an old jade bracelet on her wrist, held Situ Qinglan's small gloves and went up, and said softly:
"What a good boy, I love a smart and decent girl like you, since you can't accept these shoes, I can't make you suffer, everyone else has a colorful head, I gave you this bracelet of mutton fat jade, I have worn it for some years, it is a good thing, you don't want to refuse."
Situ Qinglan was disrespectful and accepted it.
That's the way it is.
Xin Liu listened to Situ Qinglan's explanation, snickered, leaned into Yu Shu's ear and said, "If you want me to say that Lan Lan took advantage, what's the use of asking for a pair of old shoes, it's better to take a bracelet." β
"Exactly." Yu Shu thought the same way.
Situ Qinglan looked at the two of them whispering, knowing that she was talking about herself, secretly rubbing the delicate jade bracelet on her wrist, and smiled faintly, disapproving.
She knew that things were not so easy, she couldn't be in a hurry, today was a good beginning, Mrs. Wei Guo already had her as a person in her eyes, and her success would be a little more, and then, it would be up to her to work hard.
Her eyes wandered, she stayed on Yu Shu, and deliberately snorted to attract her attention, and then interrupted: "What bad things do you two say about me secretly?" β
Xin Liu covered his mouth, shook his head and snickered.
"I don't believe you," Situ Qinglan glanced at her, turned her head to Yu Shu and asked curiously: "By the way, Lianfang, I see that you are very good with the county lord of Chunwei, have you known each other for a long time?" β
Yu Shu didn't know where to start, so he let out a vague "um".
Situ Qinglan saw that she didn't want to say more, so she smiled and didn't ask again, but she was searching her stomach in her heart, how to pass Yu Shu and take Jiang Huan's bright road. (To be continued......)
