Looking at the surprised ugly, Tong Ningxin hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's a concubine." ”

Ah Ugly rolled his eyes under the veil: "Tell me what is good about you, everything is confused, and it took me a lot of detours to get to the serious destination, which hurts my heart!" ”

"I haven't heard of these things, and I haven't figured it out yet." Tong Ningxin scratched his head.

Ah Chou wondered suspiciously: The concubine itself is not unusual. In ancient times, people who did not change wives and did not take concubines after soaring Huang Tengda were afraid that they were rarer than pandas. But Lu Zhixian's wife was married after the title of the gold list, and she was still a second-generation official, and she just got an official and a half-job, so she thought about taking a concubine, and she was not afraid that his father-in-law would turn against her?

It's a pity that this is her idea, and she can't care if someone else's family wants to marry or accept. But—

"Take a concubine, take a concubine, what are so many people doing here?" Ugly asked as he looked around.

Tong Ningxin sighed: "It's not because of the person you want to accept." ”

Not far away, Zhao San's sister-in-law saw Ah Chou coming back, so she came over: "Xiao Wu is still talking and spitting, and he can't be famous for a long time!" It is precisely because Lu Zhixian wants to accept that it is the fourth daughter-in-law of the Jiang family! ”

"Huh?" Ugly was shocked, "What? Fourth sister-in-law Jiang? ”

In order to ensure population growth, the Great Cadre Law stipulates that women who do not marry at 20 and men who do not marry at 22 will be fined 10,000 yuan per month, except for those who are seriously ill or those who keep filial piety; A widow may remarry after one year of widowhood, and if she does not marry for three years, she will be fined 10,000 yuan per month, except for those who are seriously ill, keep filial piety, and are official wives of grades seven or above, or those who are over forty years old.

It stands to reason that the fourth sister-in-law Jiang has reached the time to remarry, and the Jiang family is poor, so it is impossible to pay 10,000 yuan a month for her, even if she wants to pay, she has enough spare energy, where can she get so much money?

So. Fourth sister-in-law Jiang is bound to face the problem of remarriage.

"Then, Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang herself, what do you mean?" Ugly asked Zhao San's sister-in-law.

The reality is like this, born in such an environment, Jiang Si's sister-in-law has no choice. According to Daqian customs, only widowers can marry, and concubinage with others is also a way out. Judging from reality, being a concubine in Lu Zhixian is not a bad choice. Fourth sister-in-law Jiang was widowed more than a year ago, but she never heard of it. What is her past with Lu Zhixian. However, Lu Zhixian took the initiative to say that he would not be too bad to Jiang Si's sister-in-law, unless the housewife was a powerful one, this could only be a creation!

What's more, now Lu Zhixian's identity is not as good as usual, his will. It is also difficult for Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang to say no. Therefore, it should come down. There's no way out.

However, Zhao San's sister-in-law frowned. seemed to be a little worried: "The Jiang family has nothing to say, they wish they had one less mouth." Jiang's fourth daughter-in-law's maiden family is from our village, and she should also go down. But she herself - she doesn't want to live or die! ”

"Don't want to live or die?" It seems that the ideal and the reality are often a little distant, "Why?" ”

Zhao San's sister-in-law shook her hand: "I don't know why I don't know why, I only heard about it." Jiang's fourth daughter-in-law, her attitude is resolute! ”

Seeing that Ah Chou was silent, Zhao San's sister-in-law immediately lowered her voice and said in Ah Chou's ear: "Our second brother." and Lu Zhixian also grew up together, and poured out to help Lu Zhixian say a few words, but she beat them away. ”

Grow up together and grow small? Ah Chou asked the question in his heart: "That Lu Zhixian, isn't his wife the daughter of an official?" As soon as he takes office, he will take a concubine, and he is not afraid that his father-in-law will be powerful? ”

"Hey, it's not that Mrs. Zhengfang has been married for a year, and there is no news in her stomach, so she nodded!" Zhao San's sister-in-law muttered.

Unfilial piety is the greatest, this is the best reason to take a concubine.

"In this way, the situation over there is not very bad, and if you can have a son and a half daughter, your position will be consolidated. Fourth sister-in-law Jiang is going to remarry after all, how can she resolutely resist? The ugly became more and more confused.

Zhao San's sister-in-law shook her head: "I don't know." No, because of this, she and her mother's family had a falling out, and she said that she wanted her to go, but she herself was unhappy in every way, and the people of her mother's family were waiting for Tong Lizheng's verdict! ”

"This kind of thing, how can Tong Lizheng adjudicate," Ah Chou disagreed, "and the three-year deadline has not yet arrived, can you still use a knife to force her to get on the sedan chair?" ”

As he was talking, he heard a shout not far away: "Jiang's fourth daughter-in-law committed suicide, go and save herself!" ”

Ah scandal, while rushing over, sighed in his heart: What a mess!

In summer, Jianye City is unbearably hot, and the cicadas are even more annoying. At this time, the East Palace had already used ice cubes, and the slight cool breeze soothed his mind a little.

In front of the gilded openwork window facing the courtyard, Xia Yichen leaned back in the chair, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, staring at the flowers blooming in the lotus pond in the courtyard as if he was sleeping, looking lazy and bored: "In the past few months, the fourth prince has been building a lot of construction in Qian County, are we blind?" ”

Yu Zexuan sat on the chair next to him, sitting precariously without squinting, in stark contrast to Xia Yichen's laziness and relaxation. He couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "The fourth prince won't be stupid enough to think that we are blind, he is afraid that he will let us watch it and be in a hurry!" ”

"It's still as domineering as before," Xia Yichen yawned, his sleeping appearance became more and more blurry, but it did not lose his charm at all, "Your Highness, if we don't move, we can only wait to eat the leftovers!" ”

The man in front of the desk was dressed in a golden dragon suit, compared to Xia Yichen's delicate carving and Yu Zexuan's handsome style, his facial features were more masculine, and his expression was restrained and domineering: "Give up Qiaojun." ”

Yu Zexuan seemed to be choked by Prince Mu Tianhong's short and emotionless words, and only spoke up after a while: "Give up? That's it, give up? ”

"For months, you don't know the actions of the fourth Daoist, but do you have a countermeasure? If there was a countermeasure, you would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today to dwell on it. Mu Tianhong's tone was calm, but when he listened carefully, there seemed to be a kind of perseverance.

Xia Yichen's peach blossom eyes were completely closed at this time, and the corners of his slightly upturned mouth hooked a charming arc: "Your Highness, what you said is so right!" ”

What happened in Qian County, the informant almost immediately reported it, if there was a countermeasure, it would have been moved a long time ago, where to wait for today? It's just that the prince's decision to give up was a bit ruthless.

Yu Zexuan showed a regretful expression: "The reputation that the water control incident has built in Qian County is all about to be abandoned?" ”

Mu Tianhong stretched out his hand to deny: "No, it's not to give up." The reputation of the tree cannot be lost, but there is not only one city in Daqian. ”

"It's really easy to get sleepy in summer," Xia Yichen sat up straight with his eyes open, "Your Highness means to focus on the overall situation. ”

"Okay," Yu Zexuan sighed, "There is no other way, Yichen, I'm afraid the thought you spent on that little beggar before will be in vain!" ”

Xia Yichen smiled miserably: "Who said it was in vain, according to the current situation, she is afraid that she will have to make the same decision as His Highness." ”

"What?" Yu Zexuan didn't know why.

"Naturally, it's to give up on the county." Xia Yichen said with certainty.

Yu Zexuan was half reminding, half joking: "Be blind and confident, be careful that stealing chickens will not make you lose rice when the time comes." At the beginning, you said that you would keep her, although now it seems that she is indeed not the person of the fourth prince, and we blamed her wrongly. Later, I thought I could use her to get close to the Mo family, but I found out that it was whimsical. Now that you still have it, what use do you want to use? ”

The crown prince Mu Tianhong, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Since Yichen said to keep it, let's keep it, we can't expect every arrow to hit the heart." ”

Xia Yichen was silent, Mu Tianhong realized what he said, and inevitably sighed: "This year's tribute from the Western Regions is almost here, if there is a phoenix-"

"Fenglin is just a legend, no one has seen it for hundreds of years." Xia Yichen took away his usual relaxed and easy-going expression, and suddenly became extremely serious and cold.

Mu Tianhong frowned slightly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your aunt." ”

"Good or bad, it doesn't change anything." Xia Yichen said lightly, turned around and left.

The cicadas are still chirping.

In the Jiang family house in Gujing Village, the people on the bed gradually woke up.

The ugly who came to heal was about to call someone when he saw this, but was stopped by Jiang Si's sister-in-law: "Don't go!" Her voice was filled with tears, sad but not pitiful.

Ah Chou had to sit down and sighed: "According to my meaning, if you really love your deceased husband with all your heart, and you love so much that you can ignore your father and mother, it is okay to follow you like this." It's just that as a healer, I can't see death without help. ”

Fourth sister-in-law Jiang tilted her head to the wall, was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled desolately: "Don't care about your father? They have their own brothers to take care of, and I am the daughter who married out of the water and spilled the water, what can I do? Since I entered the Jiang family, they have not regarded me as knowing me anymore. Now I hear that I want to ...... What's the meaning of coming up again? ”

Ah Chou sighed: In poor families, it is undoubtedly a shortcut for a daughter to be a concubine for a big family.

"You're going to remarry eventually, do you still want the Jiang family to support you for the rest of your life? If you don't like the Lu family, you just don't choose, and find another one that you are satisfied with, why take your life? "Ugly persuasion.

"Satisfied?" Fourth sister-in-law Jiang closed her eyes hollowly, "You're right, I should have followed, and when he went earlier, I should have followed......"

"I'm not here to persuade you to die! You still have a great year to go! Ugly corrected her thoughts.

Fourth sister-in-law Jiang opened her eyes and looked indifferent: "You are an outsider, you don't know my affairs at all, what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense." You saved me, I thank you, and I'll report it in the next life. ”

"What a stubbornness! You are so stubborn, that is to say, you have a good relationship with Fourth Brother Jiang? Ugly changed the subject, hoping to persuade her from another angle.

Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang didn't speak, just sighed and stared at the wall in deep thought.

Ah Ugly acquiesced: "Since Fourth Brother Jiang loved you so much during his lifetime, I don't want you to be unhappy after my death, and I don't want you to find a short-term view for this." The way you are now, you really disappointed him. ”

"You're right, I let him down," Jiang Si's sister-in-law cried lowly, "I can't help him." But it's late, it's late......"

Blinking the clear eyes under the veil, Ah Ugly didn't know why: This doesn't sound like he's talking about seeking death!

"What's the matter, it's late?" Ugly temptation. (To be continued......)
