249, no concubine
The middle-aged woman who came to Jiang's family was Jiang Xuan's fiancΓ© He family, and the He family was a famous family in Jinling.
Originally, Jiang Xuan was the eldest daughter of General Zhenbei and could have better family affairs, but when Jiang Xuan was at the border, General Zhenbei was just an ordinary military attache at that time, and Jiang Xuan was given a family affair.
Later, the man died on the battlefield, Jiang Xuan was not particularly looking forward to getting married, and he was familiar with the man, so he said that he would keep watch over the man.
General Zhenbei owed his daughter when he was a child, so he followed Jiang Xuan.
A year ago, the old lady of the He family went to the border pass, met the robbers, and was rescued by General Zhenbei, he saw Jiang Xuan, liked Jiang Xuan's bearing, and also had the idea of marrying and repaying the favor with General Zhenbei, and made a family affair for his grandson.
At that time, Mrs. He was in Jinling and had not seen Jiang Xuan, but when she saw Jiang Yu and Jiang Xuan coming in together, she couldn't help but think in her heart, if she only talked about her appearance, Jiang Xuan would be worthy of accompanying her son.
She has no ill feelings towards the Jiang family, although her in-laws are in charge, but before this time, she is not resistant to this family business, and she is even a little proud.
Master Jiang is the general of Zhenbei, and Jiang Xuan's maternal grandfather's family is an official in the capital.
However, the situation was different at this time, Jiang Xuan's maternal grandfather's family was involved in the rebellion case of the eldest princess of Changning, and the emperor almost died because of this.
Today, the emperor is furious, the Mo family was killed from top to bottom, and the people who had dealings with the Mo family were also implicated, although they were not convicted, but Jiang Xuan's maternal grandfather, uncle and other official positions were taken away.
Who knows when General Zhenbei will be implicated?
No matter how good Jiang Xuan looks, their family can't get married.
Jiang Yu protected Jiang Xuan and retreated to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang said, "A year ago, Mrs. He and the eldest master agreed on this family affair at the border.
Coincidentally, Yu'er also came, and now their father is not there, the eldest brother is like a father, and the corresponding people are also there, if Yu'er and Xuan'er both agree, it will be fine. β
Mrs. He felt that this was strange, the marriage matter was the order of the parents, where could there be children to make their own decisions, let alone their mothers were not present?
Could it be that if the Jiang family brothers and sisters don't agree, then the Jiang family doesn't agree, and wants the old lady to go to the border pass to talk to General Zhenbei?
Thinking of this, Mrs. He couldn't help sneering in her heart, does the Jiang family think that the old lady will definitely not quit her family?
So take this excuse.
Jiang Yu was very angry when he heard what Mrs. He said just now at the door, but he didn't say anything other than replying.
Jiang Xuan didn't have any expectations for this family business, but it was his father who saved Mrs. He at that time, and Mrs. He insisted on setting her.
She said softly, "What Mrs. He meant, I already understood it outside the door just now, you asked the senior monks of Funing Temple to combine the eight characters, and felt that I and Ling Lang did not agree with the eight characters, so I came to the door."
However, in my opinion, this matter actually has nothing to do with the monks of Funing Temple, but because of the affairs of my grandfather's family, Mrs. He came to the door. β
It is not uncommon for the wealthy family to quit because of the other party's crime, but everyone knows it, and it is just to find an excuse to cover it up, so that the faces of both parties will look better.
As long as you are willing to withdraw from your family, everyone will be kind and friendly, and you may need a place for each other to take care of in the future.
Unless they refuse to withdraw from their relatives, the two parties will tear their faces and make trouble.
Mrs. He listened to Jiang Xuan's words, as if she refused to withdraw from her family? Just now she thought this girl was good, but it turned out that she was also ignorant and didn't know the current affairs.
Do you really think that if you don't agree, you won't be able to retreat?
I heard that this girl was raised in the border pass since she was a child, and she was really raised in a remote place, and she has no education, but fortunately she will not marry her.
Mrs. He sneered in her heart, but her face was still kind, "The girl thinks too much, since the dog and the girl are not compatible, it is naturally not suitable for marriage, this has nothing to do with the matter in your mansion or your grandfather's mansion, does the girl understand?" β
When Jiang Yu heard this, he didn't want to listen anymore, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Xuan pull his sleeve, and then winked at him, meaning to let her solve it herself.
Jiang Yu nodded according to his patience to Mrs. He, and simply asked him to be there, if there was anything bad about his sister, he could still make up for it.
Thinking in his heart, he listened to Jiang Xuan's gentle face and said seriously, "If it's because of this, then you can't withdraw from your family, our family still has an eight-character post about inviting the abbot of Funing Temple a year ago, which clearly says Daji."
I just came back from Funing Temple with my brother today, when I saw the abbot, the abbot didn't talk about this, or I will go to Funing Temple with my wife again tomorrow, please explain to the abbot, but more than a year, why did the good fortune become incompatible? β
Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed wide, and he looked at Mrs. He with a puzzled expression.
On the side, Mrs. Jiang was stunned, but Mrs. Jiang raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xuan, and lowered her head to sip tea without saying a word.
Jiang Yu stood next to Jiang Xuan and looked at her sister with a smile.
Mrs. He still had a faint smile on her face at first, but it was frozen at the moment, obviously she didn't expect Jiang Xuan to say this.
Speaking of which, this girl is also a girl from the General's Mansion, why is she so ignorant of the world? Is it more serious than such a reason to cover up?
Mrs. He was furious, and even a little disdainful, why didn't this girl want to think about it? Who is she?
She didn't like the fact that she had kept watch over other men, and she couldn't find a reason to come to the door to withdraw from her relatives before, but now she finally has a reason.
Does she think that if she messes around, she will not be able to withdraw from her family? Who does she think she is? Why can you marry into your own family? Why can you marry your own son?
It's so funny, and making a fuss is just a loss of face for herself.
Mrs. He immediately felt ruthless, since I was kind enough to cover you up, you don't want to, then tearing your face is enough, and the He family is afraid that the Jiang family will not succeed?
She said, "This is actually not surprising, it was naturally auspicious in the past, but now your maternal grandfather's family is involved in such a serious crime as conspiracy and rebellion, it is your mother's family."
Now that your luck has changed, your natural personality has changed, what's so strange about not getting along with our family? Isn't that a very clear thing?
Miss Jiang still can't figure it out?
is a high-ranking monk in the world, even if he is a national teacher from the east, for him, the girl's luck can't be changed.
Naturally, the girl can't marry the dog. β
When this was said, even Mrs. Jiang, who looked at the original children unpleasantly, felt that it was a bit excessive.
She even felt a little pity for Jiang Xuan, what girl was not ashamed to hear such words?
It's just that such a thing is going to bring his daughter Zhu'er to him after all.
However, Jiang Xuan didn't blush as everyone thought, she just nodded and said softly, "Yes, then naturally you can't get married." β
Mrs. He covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, covering the smile at the corners of her lips, "So let's quit the marriage, the girl and the house should be able to understand, right?" β
Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded,
"After listening to Mrs. He's words, I now understand that I used to only listen to my father and grandmother say how the He family is kind, and how the He family is a century-old family, and how good Mrs. He's reputation in the capital is.
People say that it lives up to its name, and today, I know that there is still a word that is not worthy of the name, and in my opinion, it is just a charm that sees the wind and makes the rudder, and falls into the well.
If I had known that this was the case, I would have asked my father to go to Mrs. He to quit my relatives when I was at the border. β
Her big eyes flickered as she looked at Mrs. He, and the matter of withdrawing from her family seemed to be just a trivial matter, and the smile on her face stabbed Mrs. He's eyes.
Mrs. Ho's hands trembled.
This uneducated girl dared to slander the He family like this!
Mrs. He's face was pale, no matter who she was, her face would not look good when she heard this.
This girl, who died of her fiancΓ© and guarded the widow, and now that the south has come to the door again, won't she reflect on herself, shouldn't she tremble and be a man with her tail between her legs?
How dare you say such a thing?
Obviously, there are elders here, but they let a junior be aggressive here.
I thought it would be easy to quit my relatives today, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face.
The He family is also a well-known family in Jinling, except for the princes who are still in the old capital, just these big clans, they have always been flattered, and no one has ever said such a thing in front of her.
She grimaced, "What do you mean, girl?" Old lady, you have to take care of the door style. β
Jiang Xuan's eyes were bright, as if he hadn't seen Mrs. He's dark face, "Isn't what I said wrong?" If it's not right, my wife will give me another reason. β
"There is always a reason for such a big thing as divorce, how can you withdraw casually?"
If the He family didn't admit that she was a person who saw the wind and steered and fell into the well, wouldn't she agree to quit her family?
Although it is a fact, it can be said that Mrs. He can admit it in person, but it is unspeakable, Mrs. He was suddenly embarrassed and angry, and couldn't help but turn her face to Mrs. Jiang again.
Mrs. He looked at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang with a complicated expression, like a colorful face, "Old lady, the marriage between the two families is a good marriage between two surnames, not a feud, of course you can't be hasty, why don't you discuss it with the eldest lady first, I'll wait for your letter outside?" β
Old Madam Jiang frowned, looked at Jiang Xuan lovingly, and then said, "You also know that this child grew up at the border pass, and he hasn't been in front of me since he was a child, because of this, I feel very guilty in my heart."
Now that she has finally returned to me, it is naturally not enough to cherish her, and whatever our children say is what it is. β
Mrs. Jiang also smiled, echoing what the old lady said.
Mrs. He only felt that her liver hurt, how could this family be so messed around, and turned back to Jiang Xuan and said,
"What reason does the girl think is what the reason is, since I am here today, I don't need you to go to Funing Temple again, as long as your mansion takes the marriage book back.
Isn't it nice that everyone is kind? Our two families will still be friends in the future, so it would be good to help each other if there is anything. β
This could not be more clear and hinted at the reason for the door-to-door resignation.
Jiang Xuan smiled and looked at Mrs. Jiang, who didn't say anything, so she asked people to take out the marriage letter and the things sent by the He family when they were married.
When the next person took the things, Jiang Xuan said with a smile, "I forced my wife to respond to this, that is, I quit my family, and you are also very angry, aren't you?"
Do you think I don't know what to do? β
Mrs. He turned her head away, not wanting to talk to Jiang Xuan.
"Since your family wants to withdraw from the past, of course I can't marry again, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it is no good for me to marry in the past, I have figured this out, in fact, I can also withdraw from the marriage amicably."
Jiang Xuan has been smiling since he came in, and his tone is not hurried or slow, and he is extremely gentle.
She continued, "But your family is too bullying, and the wedding date is set for a year later, so it's too much for you to come at this time." β
Her eyes were bright and dark, and the innocence that had previously seemed to be ignorant had been curtailed.
Mrs. He turned her head suddenly, speechless in anger.
Jiang Xuan smiled, "You can come and bully our family and bully me, of course I can bully you." Is Mrs. Ho angry? β
"But it's useless to be angry again, you said that my grandfather's family committed an accident, but don't forget, my father is still the general of Zhenbei, and my brother is still the governor of Jinling.
Our Jiang family has not fallen yet. β
Mrs. He chuckled, "The little girl probably doesn't know how much harm the withdrawal of relatives does to the woman, and she is still so justifiable." I really don't know what kind of family the girl will marry in the future. β
Anyway, she has already torn her face and withdrawn from her family, and Mrs. He's words are not scrupulous.
The corners of Jiang Yu's lips hooked, and there was a smile on his handsome face, "You don't have to worry about Mrs. He." I didn't know that there was a mother-in-law like you, but I don't know that with a mother-in-law like you, I believe that my father would never have agreed to the old lady's request.
"Besides, even if my sister can't get married, I will support my sister for the rest of my life.
and lest you be tormented by a mother-in-law like you. β
"Since you have already withdrawn from your family, and the marriage certificate has been given to you, our family is not good to stay, housekeeper, on behalf of grandmother and wife, send off guests."
Mrs. Ho brushed her sleeves away.
When Mrs. He left, Mrs. Jiang finally spoke, "Xuan'er, the family affairs have retired, are you really not sad at all?" β
Jiang Xuan blinked, "Why are you sad?" Does my grandmother want me to marry and be tortured by Mrs. Ho? As you saw just now, Mrs. Ho is not a good talker. β
Old Madam Jiang glared at her, "Even if you don't grow up next to me, you are my granddaughter after all, how can you not want to be good."
But you have to remember that this is the third time you have withdrawn from your family.
The first time I didn't say it, the child was gone, but the second time, not long after the marriage, your fiancΓ© died in battle. And for this reason thou shalt keep a feast for him.
From the age of fifteen to the age of eighteen, if it weren't for your father, you would still be guarding now, would a good girl be like this?
Nineteen is already the mother of the child. β
Jiang Yu said indifferently on the side, "Grandmother, if they are all the same as the He family, then the grandson would rather not marry his sister, and my father and I can't afford to support her, I will have a few more children in the future, and I will give one to my sister." β
Old Madam Jiang suddenly had nothing to say, as if she must send Jiang Xuan into the fire pit.
She waved her hand in annoyance, "Tomorrow, you write a letter to your father, and say that the He family has come to the door to withdraw from the family, let him watch it." β
After Jiang Yu and Jiang Xuan pushed it down, Mrs. Jiang diligently brought a cup of tea to Mrs. Jiang.
"Mother, Zhu'er hasn't said kiss yet, today's big girl came out like this, and it was not Zhu'er who was affected by the time, this time and again, outsiders still don't know what happened to the girl of the Jiang family, and she quit again and again."
"Moreover, after retiring from the He family's family affairs, what can the eldest girl say about her relatives in the future?"
Although Mrs. Jiang is happy to see Jiang Xuan withdrawn, in the end, Jiang Xuan's dismissal is related to her own children.
Old Madam Jiang looked at Mrs. Jiang, her eyes were full of disappointment, "We just don't offend people, and people will come to bully them the same." β
The He family is indeed bullying, Jiang Xuan is not wrong at all.
It's just that something happened to the in-laws' family, and it's not that the Jiang family has fallen, and Mrs. He is not a good family to come to the door to withdraw from her relatives.
Mrs. Jiang was able to coax the old lady well, so she was naturally not stupid, so she didn't talk about it anymore, and turned to other things.
"Princess Shenjun originally loved to hold a flower party this season, but there was no news at all this year, I heard that there was a distinguished guest from the county king's mansion, and she liked to be quiet, so this year's flower party in the county princess's mansion was probably going to be canceled."
The flower party in the county king's mansion is said to be a flower viewing, but it is actually a meeting for each family to see each other.
The Jiang family just came back last year, but they didn't catch up, and the eldest lady wanted to take advantage of this year's flower party to give Jiang Zhuer a good look.
I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence.
Mrs. Jiang is also a pity, if the flower party is still held, not only Zhu'er, but also Xuan'er will be taken out, and she will always find someone to marry.
Jiang Xuan was not affected by the He family's retreat at all.
She is not interested in getting married, if her father and brother are really willing to support her for the rest of her life, probably, she will really live at home for the rest of her life.
At the beginning, she would say that she would keep watch for her second fiancΓ©, not because she liked that person so much, but simply because she wanted to avoid getting married.
β¦β¦
In the palace of Shenjun Wang, Lin Yi was lying on a rocking chair in the guest house, rocking leisurely, with seasonal fruits on the small table next to him, and a half-turned book.
He closed his eyes and instructed Chang Yuan, "Prepare all the fishing utensils, and when the sun goes down, I will go fishing." β
After speaking, he sighed again, "Hey, this day has made me feel a little guilty, and I don't know how Xiao Jiu is in the capital." β
However, when he thought of the tense days at the beginning, he thought evilly, fortunately Xiao Jiu was willing to take it, otherwise, he would not know that he could live like this until he died.
I can only be sorry for Xiao Jiu.
In the capital, Xiao Yue's life is indeed not very easy.
Because it was Lin Yi who made it clear in front of the ministers, he soberly said that he wanted to give up the throne to Xiao Yue, even if some ministers were dissatisfied, it could only be suppressed in the bottom of his heart.
Most of the ministers still support Lin Yi's decision, but it is nothing more than that Lin Yi's poisoning and coma scared the ministers.
The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, if the emperor continues to be in such a coma, and no one is in charge of the court, the hearts of these ministers are still panicked.
Why are there so many people who still support the little emperor to sit on the dragon chair even if they know that the little emperor can't participate in politics.
Isn't it because even if the little emperor is small, someone can sit on that dragon chair and settle people's hearts.
As for Lin Yi not passing the throne to his son, but an outsider, they wanted to oppose it, but the emperor insisted on it, they wanted to oppose it, but they couldn't oppose it.
Later, Xiao Yue ascended the throne, without too many changes, even the year name was inherited from the era of the reign of the Emperor Taishang, and the enthronement ceremony was also very simple, the only difference was the seal ceremony and the affectionate edict.
The old and the new alternate, can't avoid busyness, Xiao Yue has not been able to stay with Gu Nian for several days, coincidentally, on this day, when he went to court, he heard that a minister suggested that he draft a draft to fill the harem, and suddenly, his brows furrowed.
Some courtiers don't think about government affairs all day long, and they don't see much to do, but instead focus on the affairs of his harem, what is the use of such courtiers?
"Your Majesty, now the queen has only one son under the queen's knees, your harem is empty, and Weichen thinks that the draft should fill the harem." Thought it was an official of the Ministry of Rites.
"This is an important matter for the continuation of the heir, please ask the emperor at most."
This sounds like persuading Xiao Yue to take a concubine, but in fact, he is saying that Gu Nian will not give birth and will only have one child.
Moreover, on the day Xiao Yue ascended the throne, he took Gu Nian's hand and walked to the highest place together to accept the kneeling of his subjects.
The emperor is also too obsessed with the queen.
That's not good.
What's more, the emperor is in the prime of life, and the harem is empty, how can he do it?
To say, there are really not many people in the harem palace now, some of them are older, and after Gu Nian was in charge of the harem, she was let out, and she did not choose a new one to enter the palace, so it seems that the harem personnel are a little scarce.
Moreover, it turned out that there were no other concubines in the Jin Palace, only Gu Nian alone, so it seemed that there were few harem masters.
Xiao Yue's temperament, where would he listen to this?
If this person still has such courage to speak for the people of the world, he still thinks that this person can be used, but this official just makes irresponsible remarks about the harem woman.
He looked at the official with a cold face, "I once swore to Emperor Gaozong that there is only one queen in this life, so no matter how many children the queen has, it should be."
Do you want me to be a man of your word? Now that the crown prince has been established, do you want me to choose a concubine, do you want me to give birth to other princes to compete with the prince for the throne and make the Dongli Dynasty fall apart? β
This official of the Ministry of Rites almost didn't bite his tongue, obviously he was persuading the emperor to take a concubine, why did he just want the court to collapse?
He felt bad and knelt down, "Weichen has no such intention, and asks the emperor for forgiveness." β
Give him the courage to do this.
Xiao Yue glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "As a minister, you should devote yourself to the people, instead of focusing on the affairs of my harem, is it possible that you also love others to dictate to your own backyard?"
Or do some people think they can arrange everything for me and make decisions for me?
Or do you want to watch the princes fight, so that they can reap the benefits of the fishermen? β
As soon as these words came out, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt down and pleaded guilty, who in the world dared to make a decision for the emperor? Isn't that a great sin of treason?
Xiao Yue snorted coldly, looked at the kneeling people, and said what had been decided, to the effect that it was to congratulate my queen on her official assumption of office, and to celebrate with the whole world, and the country's taxes will be reduced by 20% this year.
Xiao Yue said that the reduction of taxes by 20% was actually for the sake of the people on the border, and the rebellion of the clan at the beginning, the people were more or less affected, and subtracting 20% of the tax was naturally a great joy for them.
At the end, Xiao Yue said with a tense face, "As the Son of Heaven, how can you work hard and hurt money?" Don't mention the draft again, I can't indulge in women, I should put the people first. β
Not to mention the people of the world, even the ministers were moved, and they all knelt down and praised Xiao Yue's benevolence, and no one mentioned the matter of the concubine anymore.
As for indulging in feminine sex......
The emperor likes to be with the queen, so let's be together, that is a good expression of the emperor's feelings, and it is a good thing to love the queen.
When Gu Nian learned that someone had written to Xiao Yue to take a concubine, he was talking to the Empress Dowager, and after listening to the palace people's report, the Empress Dowager laughed,
"You don't have to worry about the emperor. He's certainly not going to make you sad. β
Gu Nian couldn't help laughing, "Niangniang, don't laugh at me." β
She really didn't seem to be bothered by this, she believed in Xiao Yue as if she believed in herself.
After coming out of the palace of the Empress Dowager, she touched her stomach, Xu Er was eight years old, before Bai Feng left, she said that she had helped Xiao Yue solve Zhang Chunzi's medicine, and later Zhang Chunzi came back and diagnosed Xiao Yue's pulse, and said that it was indeed not affected at all.
Although Xiao Yue said that he was busy, he would inevitably come to Fengyi Palace every day, and they were not together, why couldn't they get pregnant?
She frowned, was it her own problem?
She thought for a moment and said to Aoba, who had been promoted to a female official, "You go and let Mr. Zhang enter the palace." β()
