Chapter 671: Incident
When it came to the day when the official marriage documents were issued, several families did not receive the receipt for a long time, and there was no news from the left and right, so they thought that the official needed to be dealt with, and deliberately delayed the delivery, so they tried every means to send gifts to the princess's mansion where Jingchen was located.
A principal officer and an adjutant of the Kunling Bureau, something happened, and everyone went straight to Jingchen, ignoring Yu Shu intentionally or unintentionally.
What they did was understandable, the chief officer was relieved, and the adjutant below could still stop it? The idea is good, but they all miscalculated one thing - Jing Chen, the right order of the Si Tianjian Commander, is simply a shopkeeper and doesn't care about anything.
Kun Ling's grasp from big to small is actually Yu Shu.
It is said that Jingchen stayed in the palace for two days, was released by Emperor Zhaoqing, returned to the princess's mansion, and the steward eunuch dutifully presented the gift list received by the palace in the past few days to him.
Jingchen asked him in confusion, "What are the recent festivals?" ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed early, so there are no happy events in September.
The steward eunuch reported 1510: "The servant inquired, these people are here to urge the letter, it seems that their house has not received the official marriage documents issued by the Kunling Bureau, so they have asked the master to you." ”
Jingchen nodded to show that he knew what he said, and then asked him to return the gift list, and said disappreciatively: "Let them wait if they haven't sent it, beg me to do something, this matter is not in my hands, they gave gifts to the wrong person." ”
Steward Eunuch: "Aren't you the right order of the Heavenly Eunuch?" Shouldn't the Kunling Bureau be in your charge?
Having said that, the next day Jingchen went to the Kunling Bureau, when Yu Shu reported to him as usual. When I thought about it, I asked her-
"How many marriage books haven't been sent? They sent gifts to my house. ”
Yu Shu asked him without changing his face: "Which families are they?" ”
Jingchen was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't pay attention. After a pause, he said, "Forget it, you look at it, and I will return the gift." ”
"I didn't have anything else to say, so I went downstairs and got busy." Yu Shu's expression was calm, and his heart was about to burst with laughter, that group of people actually thought of looking for Jingchen to open the back door, which was simply flattering to the blind man.
"There you go." Jingchen knew that she was impatient to be in the same room with him, so she didn't force her, after all, she could talk to him like she did now. He should be content
There are more than one family that did not receive official marriage papers this month. But there are two families who got the eight-character sticker that was approved for return.
In the evening, Xue Lingnan sat under the locust tree in the vestibule, sentence by sentence. Look carefully at the eight-character annotations on the yellow pulp paper. Said above. His granddaughter Xue Jin is looking for her life to rush to the star, and if she marries the man born to Xiao Zhuyinyue, it will hurt her life. Therefore, the marriage match with Zhou Ni, the youngest son of the Zhou family, is a big murderer and should not be used, so it is not approved.
Xue Lingnan read it twice, and then said to Xu Li, the housekeeper who was waiting on the side: "Go and find Xue Rui." ”
Xu Li took the order, and after a short time, he brought Xue Rui, who was on a business trip, over. When Xue Lingnan saw him, he didn't get angry at first, but handed him the eight-character life post.
"What's going on, tell me."
Xue Rui knew that there was this section, and he was not in a hurry, he still looked at the approval document, only glanced at the small red seal of the word "lotus room" in the seal font, was slightly stunned, and immediately returned to normal, and said:
"What does grandfather want me to say?"
Xue Lingnan snorted: "This payment is a private message from Master Yi, who is the name of Lianfang?" A little Kunling Bureau female queen, she actually gave birth to a bold son, who do you say borrowed her guts to get in the way and sabotage Jinxun's marriage with the Zhou family. ”
It was clear that he had guessed the reason, and deliberately took Xue Rui to ask.
"Did Grandfather think I did it?" Xue Rui said bluntly.
Xue Lingnan's face turned cold: "You don't have to think about quibbling, since I brought you here, I know it in my heart, you can't look down on Zhou Ni, and you don't want Jin Xun to marry into the Zhou family, so you make your own decisions and let your righteous sister abuse her power." Have you ever thought that if she ruins this marriage and delays Jinxun's marriage, if she can't marry in the future, who will bear this sin? ”
Others couldn't understand his voice, but Xue Rui knew it as soon as he heard it, and the meaning in Xue Lingnan's words was that if he missed the Zhou family, if he couldn't find a suitable family in the future, then he would not let Jin Xun marry, even if she was too old, he would leave her in the house.
Xue Rui's heart was half cold, and he could barely hide the disappointment in his eyes, his grandfather was harsh to him and unkind because he was not the blood of the Xue family, but he could still be ruthless towards Jinxun, his own granddaughter, which was chilling.
"Grandfather decided that it was me who did it, and I have nothing to say, I am not optimistic about Jinxun marrying Zhou Ni, it is because I only have such a sister, others can ignore it, I can't."
Such a stiff retort is not at all like Xue Rui's usual style, Xue Lingnan's face is even worse, and he almost can't help but open his mouth to reprimand this evil son, and after taking a few breaths, he calmed down, and still said sharply:
"This time, I have the right to be reckless and not to worry about you, and then there will be another time, and your righteous sister will not want the career that you have won so hard."
It's not that he doesn't want to pursue it, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no point in pursuing it again, the Zhou family received the same eight-character post, and he will definitely not marry Jin Xun, even if he forces the Kunling Bureau to change the approval, the result is still the same, he understands Zhou Yede as a person.
After warning Xue Rui, Xue Lingnan sent him away, and waited for him to leave far away before he instructed Xu Li, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb on the side:
"Quickly ask someone to prepare a simple gift and follow me to the General's Mansion."
Instead of being cheeky and waiting for someone to come to the door to withdraw from the marriage, it is better for him to take the first step, so that the two families will not be embarrassed to see each other in the future.

Jingchen asked people to return the gifts, so the next day, Yu Shu's house came to visit one after another, but she went out early, and she didn't meet one, and when she went home and heard about it, she saw a large pile of gift boxes piled up in the gatehouse, and without saying a word, she let people return them as they were
In the middle of the household department, Lord Yan returned home from the yamen in the afternoon, and heard another bad news - the gift sent to the female palace of the Kunling Bureau yesterday was returned.
"What? Is the gift back? He asked Mrs. Yan with a frown.
"No," Mrs. Yan said with a sad face, "I let people retreat early in the morning." The same confiscation, sir, you say, who are we offending here? The two adults of the Kunling Bureau have all returned our gifts, why they postponed not sending our marriage certificate, and there is no explanation until now. ”
The second young master of the Yan Mansion suffered from an illness last year, his body has been weak, and he is always not good when he takes medicine. After getting married. Heal naturally, no medicine.
Mrs. Yan found a lot of matchmakers, and finally found a suitable candidate three months ago, and the woman's family background is not bad. is in a hurry to handle the marriage of the second son. The days are all getting better. It is the most auspicious to hire next month, and now there is an official marriage document from the Kunling Bureau, and no one expected that something would go wrong here.
The husband and wife looked at each other. Thinking and meditating, I couldn't figure out why Kun Lingju was difficult for them.
"Why don't you go to the Shilang Mansion to ask for a favor tomorrow?" Mrs. Yan had an idea and proposed.
Lord Yan didn't know why: "What are you going to do at his house?" ”
Also serving in the household department, Yin Shilang is one level higher than Lord Yan, and the two families are diligent in their daily interactions, but they are not close enough to talk about the marriage of their children casually.
Mrs. Yan explained: "The lord doesn't know, there is another lawsuit here, and now the female imperial official of the Kunling Bureau was born to Mrs. Yin and the previous maid more than ten years ago, and there is this relationship, we ask her to intercede, no problem." ”
Lord Yan frowned, he seemed to hear something, but he couldn't grasp the key, so he had to let her go.
He had no idea that, at the same time, there were more than those who thought the same as his wife.
***
Seeing off today's third guest, Yin Deng put away his smiling face and sat in the living room with a gloomy expression.
In the past two days, people have been coming to the door to plead with her, asking her to help be a middleman, urging the Kunling Bureau to issue official marriage documents. People come and go, and no matter how confused Yin Deng is, he realizes that something is wrong.
Why didn't these families receive the official marriage documents on time, but it happened that they all had some affection for her.
In front of the visitor, Yin Deng could only put on a smile and agreed, because she knew that even if she refused, others would think that she didn't want to be nosy, and would not think that she had anything to do.
Who asked her to set up a banquet on her birthday last time, invited Yu Shu's parents, and made everyone know that Aunt Cui had been a subordinate in her family.
In fact, it was nonsense to ask her to intercede with Yu Shu. Especially after she designed Yu Shu to lose her ugliness, what do you want her to do to please people?
Yin Deng even suspected that Yu Shu came at her for the whole thing, and deliberately delayed the issuance of these marriage documents, which made her embarrassed.
Yin Deng didn't forget the cruel words that Yu Shu left before he left that day, saying that he wanted to make a feud with her.
But that girl is so bold?
For a while, Yin Deng was angry and suspicious, and had no idea, and in the evening, Yin Zhourong came back and told him about the matter, hiding from her and locking up Yu Shu and setting a fire dragon, steaming her to strip and embarrass her, only saying that she was drunk at the banquet and said a few things that should not be said, which broke the bad background of the family and fell into the face of this new female imperial official.
"Master, look, could it be that this Yu Shu has the heart of a villain, so he deliberately made a hindrance from it, pressed the marriage books of these families, and waited for me to bow my head and compensate her, right?"
As soon as Yin Zhourong heard what she said, he was short-sighted and laughed by this woman:
"Madame is so confused, are you really an inferior person born to your maid? Not to mention that her mother used to be a maid in our family, but now she is a serious official, Si Tianjian is ranked in the fifth grade, and your master and I are at the same level, what's more, this Yu female emperor also has the title given by the Holy Emperor, and when she sees ordinary three-grade officials, she doesn't have to bow her head, and now she is in the limelight, you dare to scare her in public, if she can endure this breath, then it will be evil. ”
Yin Deng's was so shameless that he was reprimanded, but he didn't think so, no matter how much Yu Shu got it, compared to their Yin family, they were all one in the sky and one underground.
Yin Zhourong can rely on a concubine to win Yin Xiang's other eyes and let him occupy an important position in the household department, which shows that he is not a mediocre person, and when he understands the situation, he ordered Yin Deng's family:
"Don't be unconvinced, I'll go to the door tomorrow to apologize, everyone has children, there are still children in our family who haven't started a family, this Yu Nu Yu will serve in Kunling Bureau for a long time as expected, don't be stubborn, you really have a grudge with someone, and you missed my children."
He didn't know that his wife had completely offended people. (To be continued......)
