Xu Ping sounded like an ordinary scholar, but when he saw that Jiang Qingyue told the story of her sweetheart, his face was radiant, and his eyes seemed to shine with light.

"It's easy to find priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover." Xu Ping looked at the girl with a happy face, his heart was full of sympathy for them, and after waiting patiently for Jiang Qingyue to finish speaking, Xu Ping slowly spoke: "Since Mrs. Jiang spoke, of course I won't force it, let's stop this marriage." ”

"Really?" Jiang Qingyue screamed in surprise and joy.

"Really." However, Xu Ping didn't hear that the other party's sweetheart had anything extraordinary, there was no money and status, and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he was unwilling to participate in the imperial examination of King Shun, and naturally he couldn't stay in Beijing, Xu Ping felt that even if he regretted his marriage, the Jiang family would probably still let Yu Shenhe find a husband for Miss Jiang among the high-ranking officials of the Shun Court: "But after I rejected this marriage, will the little lady Jiang be able to get her wish?" ”

"The little girl will naturally plead with her parents again," Jiang Qingyue had a great impression of Xu Ping, and said without any warning: "If Jia Yan and Jia Ci do not agree, I will go back to Guangdong with him." ”

As soon as these words entered his ears, Xu Ping was suddenly taken aback, and it sounded like Miss Jiang had the idea of eloping. Just now Xu Ping was thinking about what excuse to use to repent of his marriage, he initially planned to be angry, relay the words of the little lady Jiang to Yu Shenhe and refuse this family affair, and at that time, the Jiang family and Yu Shenhe would definitely not go to King Shun to make trouble considering the reputation problem. But regretting marriage is one thing, seeing that Yu Shenhe's sister planned to elope but didn't interfere, then Xu Ping just watched this girl jump into the fire pit.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Xu Ping remained silent, casually expressed a few words of agreement, and began to set Jiang Qingyue's words. The other party, a girl who had never seen the world, was grateful to Xu Ping, and Xu Ping asked about the general plan after dividing five by two.

The other party had really made an appointment with his lover, if the Jiang family still didn't agree to their marriage, they would secretly escape from the capital, Xu Ping was dissatisfied with the man - in this era, if a woman eloped, there would be no future. Even if the lover changes his mind in the future, because there is no marriage certificate, the girl who elopes will not get the name of his wife, and even if he is abandoned, there is no place to reason.

At this time, Xu Ping's thoughts turned back, and he began to think about how to stabilize this girl again, and then secretly went to inform her parents, in case she did something stupid in a daze, when thinking about these things, Xu Ping asked according to the other party's meaning: "Has Little Lady Jiang been to Guangdong?" If you don't know the people there, won't you be homesick? ”

"I haven't been, but I must go, I want to make a career there."

"Huh?" This sentence made Xu Ping very surprised, although the woman was raised at home before she got married, she was still a husband and a child after marriage, and her only career was to help her husband achieve her career, Xu Ping, who was curious, asked: "What career does Little Lady Jiang want to do?" ”

Jiang Qingyue's face suddenly turned red, and she said a little shyly: "Your Highness, don't laugh at the little girl, I haven't even said anything about my father." ”

"How could I laugh at you?" This is the first time Xu Ping has seen the other party show shyness today, whether it is asking for a divorce or talking about her sweetheart, this girl is a daring spirit.

But this shame was just a flash, and when Jiang Qingyue spoke again, her voice became high again: "The little girl also reads newspapers, especially the newspapers in Fujian and Guangdong, I like to read them the most." ”

"It was given to you by your Yu brother, right?" Dashun has always had a special person buy the newspaper of the remnant Ming in the south, and then distribute it to the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Shun court, Xu Ping remembered that Yu Shenhe also had a copy.

"Yes, he gave it to my father, I think it's very interesting, it's much more fun than your newspaper."

"This one is." Xu Ping also felt that the Di Bao in the south was very interesting, there were all kinds of strange stories on it, as well as serialized jokes and anagrams, Huang Naiming told him that many Di Bao were privately run, and after Qi Guogong took office, he even opened the ban on speech, and there were even comment articles satirizing Qi Guogong's various policies.

"Eight months ago, I saw a piece of news on the news in Fujian," Jiang Qingyue said: "In the literacy school run by Qi State, there was a woman who disguised herself as a man and went to school for several months. ”

"Oh, I have an impression of this too." Xu Ping remembers that the discovery of the woman caused an uproar at the school, and many people attacked the principal for his negligence, and the principal also apologized to the public through the newspaper and expelled the female student without hesitation.

"The woman was expelled, but I noticed that the reason used by the principal was that she was not safe in a school full of male students, that she was worried that something would happen to her in school, and that he, as the principal, could not help but think about the students, and that expelling the female student was the best decision for her."

"Is there anything wrong with what this gentleman said?"

"Didn't His Highness notice that this gentleman from Guangdong didn't say anything about 'women are virtuous if they are not talented', he said that it is not safe for women to go to men's schools." Jiang Qingyue asked rhetorically: "Compared with Zhili, the people in Guangdong are too enlightened. ”

"Perhaps, in fact, I don't think that women should be illiterate, but this is really only to ask my husband to come to the house to teach, after all, you still have to marry in the future."

"How many can you please? The little girl is literate, but there is no one in a hundred who can invite a gentleman like my family, and is willing to invite a gentleman to her daughter. The girl became excited, and said to Xu Ping in a categorical tone: "When I arrive in Guangdong, I will open a girls' school, only accept female students, and I will not charge a lot of tuition, as long as I can maintain the school and earn a little money to subsidize the family, it will be enough for our husband and wife to make ends meet." ”

"Girls' school?"

"Yes, it would be safe that way, and I always felt that if a mother could read and write, her children would be blessed." Jiang Qingyue told Xu Ping that her sweetheart knew this idea and supported her very much, and said that when she arrived in Guangdong, she would definitely persuade her parents to pay for this school, Jiang Qingyue's lover was an only son, and her parents always followed him.

Xu Ping became very conflicted in his heart, regretting marriage is one thing, but if he does too much, then he will not be able to explain to King Shun, Manchu Wenwu and Yu Shenhe.

After struggling for a while, Xu Ping nodded to Jiang Qingyue: "Little lady Jiang go home first, you can find a way to sneak out again in three days, and bring your lover to see me, I can give you a guide to Guangdong, without this, he is easy to do as a man, and it is still a little troublesome to take you with me." ”

After sending Jiang Qingyue away, Xu Ping immediately called the guards and handed them the name of a person: "Go check this person immediately, I want to know every friend of his in the past few years, what his conduct is, whether he has any bad habits, or whether he has any bad friends." ”

……

Two days later, Jiang Qingyue really found an opportunity to sneak out of the house again, and brought her boyfriend to Xu Ping's mansion to ask to see her.

"If you hire you, you will be a wife, and if you run, you will be a concubine." After Xu Ping saw the young scholar, his first sentence was to reproach: "You are not a little girl who has never seen the world, how can you want to take the little lady Jiang away like this?" ”

This young man looked much more cramped than Jiang Qingyue in the face of Xu Ping, who was in the high rank of power, and when he heard Xu Ping's stern tone, he bowed his head and apologized: "Xiaosheng has made up his mind, he will treat each other politely along the way, and when he returns to his hometown, he will marry immediately, and I hope His Royal Highness will be aware of it." ”

Xu Ping shook his head and said: "Of course not, after arriving in Guangdong, she is a weak woman who is not familiar with life, if your parents dislike her and don't let her enter the house, will you disobey your parents' orders?" Will she be escorted back to Beijing? I have carefully checked your origin in the past two days, and I believe that you are just confused for a while, otherwise I would think that you are a prodigal son. But no, you have to get engaged before you can take her away. ”

"This ......" The young scholar's face was full of distress, he had been blasted out by the Jiang family recently, even if he came to propose marriage, he would definitely be bored.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Qingyue saw that her lover was embarrassed, so she wanted to speak out to solve the siege.

"I happened to be the official of her first brother, and now I am the king of Dashun Wu and her family is a citizen of Dashun, so it should be okay to count her as the elder." Xu Ping didn't pay attention to Jiang Qingyue, took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table: "There is pen and ink here, you write it immediately, give it to me after writing, I will transfer it to the Jiang family, and I will give you a marriage certificate." ”

After hastily writing the marriage letter, Xu Ping took out his share and exchanged it with the scholar, and after collecting it, he said to Jiang Qingyue: "You can tell him your maiden name." ”

Jiang Qingyue said softly: "Your Highness, he knows. ”

"It's really a girl outward," Xu Ping laughed, and looked at the young man again: "Let's get hired." ”

"Ah, Xiao Sheng didn't bring it with me," the scholar exclaimed, afraid that Xu Ping would misunderstand and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Sheng has already prepared the appointment ceremony, but he really didn't bring it with him, His Royal Highness sat down for a while, and Xiao Sheng went back to the inn to get it." ”

"No need," Xu Ping waved his hand: "You can just give some of it, and I will hand it over to the Jiang family after you leave." ”

"How can that be?" The scholar was very stubborn on this issue, and he glanced at Jiang Qingyue, who was standing on the side: "Miss Jiang is a priceless treasure to me, how can I use cheap things to hire?" ”

"That's what I said, but if you bring a bunch of things to my house, I'm afraid it will be eye-catching," Xu Ping's heart turned around, and he suddenly had an idea: "You said that Little Lady Jiang is a priceless treasure for you?" ”

"Yes, Xiaosheng is willing to exchange his life."

Xu Ping saw Jiang Qingyue hanging her head and was silent, but her eyebrows were full of joy, and he sighed lightly and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

"Really."

"Okay, little lady Jiang is going with you, I'm afraid her parents won't recognize her in the future, I, as her elder, can't say anything if I don't ask for a good job." Xu Ping made a request after laying the groundwork: "In the future, your eldest daughter will follow the surname Jiang." ”

"Ahh

"Ahh

A couple on the opposite side exclaimed at the same time, Jiang Qingyue raised her head and shouted to Xu Ping: "Your Highness is too much to ask for such a dowry. ”

"Okay," without waiting for Xu Ping to answer, the scholar suddenly replied loudly: "Xiao Sheng is sincere to Little Lady Jiang, and the sky can learn from it. ”

After speaking, the scholar wrote down the promise, held it in both hands and handed it to Xu Ping: "Thank you Your Highness Yuquan, Xiaosheng's descendants are all given by His Royal Highness, Xiaosheng will burn incense and candles in this life, and I wish His Highness a long life and health." ”

"Take her well, the gold and silver you were going to use as an appointment ceremony should be used to run a school, this is a thing that costs money." Xu Ping told the scholar that he could take his hired wife away, and finally he said to Jiang Qingyue: "Little lady Jiang, you will definitely open a generation of trends when you run a girls' school." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your kind words, the little woman will be indomitable, let the world comment like His Highness, and let the children and grandchildren engrave it on the tombstone to commemorate: It was His Highness who gave this evaluation to the little woman."

……

Xu Ping not only gave them directions, but also gave them carriages and some coils.

"There will be an uproar tomorrow," Xu Ping explained to several guards involved in the matter after sending them out of the city, "No matter who asks about it, they are not allowed to tell where they are." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Several guards replied in unison, their hearts were all up and down now, and they were terrified when they thought of the consequences of this incident, and one of their henchmen asked: "My lord, forget about the Jiang family, General Yu...... General Yu is okay, but Lord, how do you plan to explain to the Lord? ”

"I can't explain." Xu Ping sighed, and the happy young couple left happily, Xu Ping guessed that they had no idea what kind of trouble they would have.

……

On the Jinluan Palace, Yu Shenhe was so angry that he kicked over the incense burner, not only did no one blame him for being rude in front of the king, but they went over to comfort him to calm his anger, and Xu Ping stood alone in the center of the hall, facing the angry King Shun.

Yu Shenhe yelled, but now that the wood has become a boat, he has nothing to do, although the Jiang family is angry, they still have to accept the things handed over by Xu Ping, these certificates are the guarantee that their daughter will not be abandoned from the beginning.

Before leaving, Yu Shenhe said angrily that he and Xu Ping would never be in two sections from now on, and he didn't want to live with this person for a moment, so he immediately led the army to Shanhaiguan.

After the bitter lord brushed his sleeves away, King Shun asked all the irrelevant people to leave with a gloomy face, leaving only him and Xu Ping.

"General Xu, do you still have a widow in your eyes?" King Shun slapped the armrest of the throne fiercely, and Xu Ping was a little worried that he would break the armrest.

"It's just that you don't take the widow seriously, you don't save any face for the widow...... The widow can also be counted, but now that you are acting like this, where do you put the system and face of the court? Li Zicheng, who was furious, pointed at Xu Ping and scolded endlessly.

Xu listened calmly to King Shun's anger, and could only occasionally say: "The crime of the minister deserves death." ”

"So many imperial histories impeached you for bullying the monarch and bullying your colleagues...... arrogant and arrogant, contemptuous of the court, what do you say the widow should do? ”

"The sin of the minister deserves death."

After losing his temper, Li Zicheng restrained his anger a little, and snorted at Xu Ping: "General Xu, you are actually not afraid of widows at all, you know that widows can't do anything to you, otherwise people in the world will say that widows treat heroes harshly...... Okay, the widow can't do anything to you, and when others follow your example and despise the court, and treat the widow as nothing, General Xu will be happy, right? ”

"The sin of the minister deserves death."

Three days later, King Shun and the cabinet issued a decree to deprive the prince of Xu Ping's fief and demote him to the prince of Korea.
