Chapter 428: Disaster (1)
Although the status of women in the feudal era was relatively low, the status of the wife who was really married to a famous family was not necessarily low. In addition, not everyone can take a concubine, only if they are well-to-do or have no children after the age of 50.
As the saying goes: the son is not virtuous, and the son is not long!
If Wang Shishi becomes a flat wife, although there is a gap between her status and her wife, it is not big. However, Xing Bingyi is really married to Zhao Gou, and the children she gave birth to are all eldest sons. The identity of the heirs is not determined by their ability, but by the mother's identity.
Zhao Gou's ability is much greater than that of the crown prince Zhao Huan, even if Zhao Ji values Zhao Gou very much, he still has no way to become the prince. Because of the rules, and Zhao Huan is not a big mistake, if there is a big mistake, then the crown prince can be deposed.
There was Tang Taizong Li Shimin in the past, and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty in the back for this reason. Tang Taizong's exploits naturally don't need to be said, but he killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate before he sat on the throne and ruled the world. If it weren't for this, there would be no prosperous Tang Dynasty, famous all over the world, and worshiped by all countries.
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, not the eldest son. Emperor Kangxi's eldest son is not a concubine, but a concubine. Even if he is the eldest son, he is not qualified to become the crown prince, and the son of the queen is the crown prince, if the prince does not commit the crime of rebellion, I am afraid that it will not be Yongzheng's turn.
Because of this, even if Zhao Gou is highly skilled, as long as the crown prince Zhao Huan does not make a big mistake and the crime of harming the country and the people, he cannot be deposed and Zhao Gou is appointed as the crown prince. Because Zhao Gou's mother is not a queen, nor is she the eldest son.
The mother of the crown prince Zhao Huan is the queen and the eldest son, so he has this qualification. If Wang Shishi becomes Zhao Gou's wife, even if he has an heir, he is not qualified to inherit Zhao Gou's title, just because he is a concubine. Therefore, Xing Bingyi's status is still very important even if he is not married, unless Zhao Gou withdraws from the marriage and instead marries Wang Shishi and makes her queen.
Wang Shishi finally found a safe harbor, so that her tired heart found a support, and she didn't have the heart to think about fighting for power, as long as Zhao Gou didn't dislike her as an orphan girl, even if she was a concubine, she was willing, and Zhao Gou helped her so much, which moved Wang Shishi.
The personnel sent out by Zhao Gou quickly investigated the truth of Wang Yin's matter, and Steward Wang received the letter from the flying pigeon and immediately presented it to Steward Wang; Then, Zhao Gou asked the old lady to call Wang Shishi over and let her understand the truth of the matter.
"Lord, is there news about my father's affairs?" Wang Shishi hurried over and asked nervously.
She had always believed that her father was wronged, but she was a woman, and she had no power to return to heaven and no ability to fight them. Now that she finally found support, Zhao Gou did not disappoint her, and the results were available in less than a day, so she was anxious.
Zhao Gou nodded and said, "You sit down first!" ”
Wang Shishi hurriedly sat down, looked at Zhao Gou eagerly, and heard Zhao Gou continue: "Your father is indeed wronged!" ”
"Daddy! ......" Wang Shishi looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, she really regretted it at that moment in her mind, and was more annoyed, if she had met Zhao Gou earlier, she would not have had such a thing, maybe her father was still alive, and she would not let herself be alone.
When Zhao Gou saw the information from the spies, there was actually 'Master Li' on it, and this person was the old bustard of the Qinglou in Bianjing City. It is said that when she was young, she was first-class in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and her fame was far and wide.
It's just that the Qinglou woman eats the rice of youth, and time is a ruthless knife that directly leaves the years on her face. And the old bustard used the money he earned when he was young to become a new generation of bustards.
Zhao Gou was startled when he saw 'Master Li', he really didn't understand how the same name could appear, and secretly thought: "Could it be that this 'Master Li' is the 'Master Li' in history?" ”
When Zhao Gou said the three words 'Master Li', Wang Shishi still didn't understand who it was, and when she said that the person was the old bustard of the Qinglou, Wang Shishi finally remembered, and directly told her what she knew, without any concealment, and then Zhao Gou understood what was going on.
It turns out that 'Master Li' is the name of the Qinglou that has been passed down from generation to generation, representing the best people in terms of appearance and talent. This old bustard is the previous 'Master Li', she has been looking for the next generation of successors, and a few people have trained them before, but they still haven't achieved the expected goal, so she is looking around.
Wang Yin was a dyer, and the most people who dealt with him were women, because some high-ranking officials and wealthy families would ask him to dye cloth, and the price was not low. Therefore, Wang Yin is also well-known in that circle; It just so happened that the old bustard wanted to buy a batch of cloth to dress up his girls, but the cloth shop didn't have that much stock, so she came to Wang Yin's mansion in person.
"Is anyone there?" When the old bustard saw that the door was wide open and there was no one around, he walked in directly and shouted a few more times.
Wang Yin came directly to the back hall because of the dyeing cloth, and opened the door for ventilation before, so the old bustard had the opportunity to walk in, and it happened that Wang Shishi was playing in the front hall at that time. The old bustard directly beat him up and asked softly, "Is the clothmaker Wang here?" ”
Wang Shishi heard someone calling her father, and she turned around curiously. At that time, the old bustard saw Wang Shishi's innate charm, which was a little more beautiful than herself. Suddenly, I was shocked, and the person who had been looking for it in my heart deliberately searched for it but didn't find it, but I didn't expect to find it unintentionally.
"My dad is in the back hall, I'll help you shout, you wait a moment!" Wang Shishi greeted politely and left.
Wang Shishi herself didn't expect that it would be because the bustard saw her beauty that it would cause trouble, you must know that Wang Yin knew her daughter's charm, so she was not allowed to go out of the backyard. However, Wang Shishi would occasionally come, but she would just stay for a while and leave.
A moment later, Wang Yin came and greeted him politely, but the old bustard didn't see that Wang Shishi was a little lost in her heart. So, she intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Wang Yin's situation, more about Wang Shishi's situation, and Wang Yin only has one daughter, Wang Shishi, naturally as a baby, especially the whitewash on the bustard's face is too heavy, and the fragrance on her body is too strong, which makes Wang Yin doubt her identity, so she deliberately avoids it, or pretends to be confused, and ignores it directly.
Because the bustard's intentions were not good, this made Wang Yin very defensive; Seeing that he was guarding against himself, the old bustard was also a little anxious, so he immediately adjusted his mentality, skipped Wang Shishi directly, asked about the fabric, and quickly changed the topic, that is, he showed that his intention was not to inquire about his family's situation, but to talk to him about business, but Wang Yin was still on guard.
