Chapter 5: The Spring Marriage
Li listened to Mrs. Shen's statement, but it was no different from her daughter's words, only a long article, except for coughing, the old man Zhizhou did not express any opinion, Li was anxious, although she was an inner house woman, only because of the death of her husband, she was forced to deal with the elder of the clan, and the affairs inside and outside the heart, but also knew that the daughter's plan for those things, in the end, had to fall on the master of Zhizhou, Mrs. Zhizhou was a woman, even if she was enthusiastic, she couldn't help much.
The more anxious he was, the more things didn't go well, and the old man of Zhizhou finally opened his mouth, but he said: "What a mess, where can I take care of so much now?!" Although the queen mother was provoked by Zheng Guifei a lot, your Shen family and the Zheng family have always had contradictions, but at this time, you still have to focus on the overall situation, I am already difficult enough at this time, and then I have a feud with the Rongguo Mansion, Zheng Qiu is dead and against me, and my official business in Fenzhou will not be able to continue. ”
Li couldn't help but open his eyes and slanted his eyes, only to see that the old man of Zhizhou had a dignified face and a beautiful beard, looking square and upright, I really didn't expect that he was a nonsense official who did not distinguish between right and wrong, he was a parent in a place, how could he be unfair and let go of the life and death of the vulnerable people.
Li secretly complained, Shen was also full of depression, Shui Xing's eyes glared, and he pouted aggrievedly: "Master, what are these words?" Accusing me of only caring about my mother's family and ignoring my master's career? I have been married into the Zhao family for so many years, no matter how difficult my mother-in-law is, I swallow my anger and serve, I have to force a smile after eating a stomach, and I raise children for the master, I dare not be picky at all, in the eyes of the master, I am still the Shen family, and I have never been with you. ”
Li lowered his eyes, stared at his toes, and said secretly: Mrs. Zhizhou dares to talk to her husband like this? After a woman gets married, don't go to her in-laws to raise children, this is a woman's duty, how can it be considered a grievance? I'm afraid this thing will not be successful, Mrs. is so excited, the old man of Zhizhou should be even more reluctant to care.
What surprised Li was that Mrs. was so resentful, the old man was really a little unreasonable, coughed and coughed a few times, and his attitude softened: "My heart is very blocked in this paragraph, what I said just now was a little anxious, don't take it to heart." ”
"I promised this, but it's all for the sake of the lord, isn't the lord also kept talking, Rongguo Gong Zheng Qiu used to be very close to Shi Liangxing, the two of them don't know how much they did, now this Fenzhou Mansion, most of the subordinate officials are Shi Liangxing's party subordinates, the lord is new, they are empty, restrained, if it wasn't for Shi Liangxing's confession, how dare they? If you can take advantage of this matter and implicate Shi Liangxing, maybe the master's problem will be solved. ”
Although Li couldn't understand these words of officialdom, he also nodded, and said secretly: I almost forgot my daughter's words earlier, this Mrs. Shen is the sister-in-law of the current queen, no wonder she acts differently from ordinary women, and understands many external affairs, maybe there will be a turnaround.
I pricked up my ears more and more.
"How can things be so simple, even if Zheng Qiu's kid bullies the weak, he didn't make much of a storm, at most he impeached Zheng Qiu for not being strict with his godson, Zheng Qiu was unscathed, let alone Shi Liangxing?"
"Whether this thing is successful or not, the lord still discusses with Mr. Yin and then talks, I just look forward to it, the lord can help, how much or some strength is used, firstly, there is Sister Ji's affection, and besides, I still think that the eldest girl Gu is both witty and beautiful, and she is a good match with Lan Ting, if she can really become our daughter-in-law, a family's business, and see that she is bullied by others?"
As soon as the Li family heard this, he didn't care about those etiquette and etiquette, his eyes turned into copper bells, and he stared at the old man Zhizhou and barely burned that upright cheek through the two holes.
I heard Zhao Zhizhou say again: "Lan Ting's situation, I'm afraid it's not a good match for this woman." ”
Is there anything wrong with the son of the old man of Zhizhou? Li's heart beat again.
"Why not be a good match? Gu eldest girl on the family background, it is indeed a little low, but it is also from a family of cultivators and heirlooms, her father is a person who has been in the six years of Hongfu, and has a meritorious reputation, it is rare that this girl is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is fierce and filial, but she can still resist the powerful in adversity, this kind of fortitude and chastity should be commended by the imperial court. ”
It turned out that the old man of Zhizhou was disgusted with the family background of the spring return, and the Li family couldn't help sighing: If it weren't for the husband's death in a foreign land, and when he became a jinshi in the future, the spring return would be the daughter of the eunuch, how could he be picky?
"It's not appropriate, Lan Ting's marriage, my mother also has a claim."
"Does the lord really want to let the old lady toss and marry the Jin State Mansion?" Shen sneered: "Didn't the lord forget that his father had repeatedly reminded him that the grandson was about to get married, although the Jin State Mansion was hot, the grandson and the Zheng family were even staring at the Wan family, and they really relied on the old lady, could it be that the lord also wanted to seize the prince?" ”
"Mo Hu said!" Zhao Zhizhou slapped the bed heavily.
Li Shi was startled and screamed in surprise, but fortunately, no matter how much movement she made at this time, others could not hear it.
Shen Shi was not frightened at all, pursed the corners of his mouth and laughed: "What I say, it doesn't matter what I say, the horizontal and vertical family, each with a heart and feet is still tied to the same rope, and the rope will fall to the ground if it is broken, the important thing is how the emperor thinks, how the mother thinks, and what those people in the officialdom want to think, Lan Ting has not yet started, and he was involved in the whirlpool because of a marriage, which is not a blessing for the Zhao family." ”
Li Shi stared at Zhao Zhizhou again, and saw that he loosened his eyebrows tightly, lifted the quilt, and stood up with his bare calves in a pair of obscene pants...... Li was so frightened that he took a step back.
"This matter, I have to discuss it with Jiyu, I'll go outside, don't be busy making trouble if I don't have permission."
"I have to wait for the master to decide." Shen smiled more and more.
The Li family also hurriedly floated outside, and when Zhao Zhizhou was dressed neatly and walked out, she thought about it for a while, and decided to follow the key person who could make up her mind, so she didn't hear the conversation between the Shen family and the servant woman.
"Madam, has the lord agreed?" This servant woman is the one who has been accompanying the Shen family in and out, she is the companion of the Shen family, almost forty years old, her husband's surname is Guo, her daughter, but she followed Queen Shen into the palace to wait, Guo's mother is in the Shen family or the Zhao family, they are all very decent figures, and the matter of matching the marriage of Lan Ting, the son of the Zhao family, and Chungui turned out to be from Guo's mother's idea.
"What kind of temperament is the master, I can still get it, there are no ten stops for this, and there are no less than eight stops, I'm just worried, Lan Ting's ...... I'm afraid it's not that easy. Shen sighed: "In other families, sons all listen to Lao Tzu's mother, our family is good, Lao Tzu does not have the majesty of Lao Tzu, and the son does not have the obedience of his son." ”
Guo's mother said: "That big girl Gu, born with a very good appearance, as the old saying goes, people are not romantic, and not to mention that the old slave looks at it coldly, the uncle usually loves to deal with the six princes, and the few who move around a lot are also some suave sons, and there are a few paintings of ladies in the house?" You must know that the one that Mrs. wants is a stunning beauty, and this matter has become a five-stop; Moreover, if it weren't for Mrs. reminding, the old slave didn't pay attention, Miss Gu didn't bind her feet, Mrs. Don't forget, when our eldest girl should bind her feet, she also cried and made trouble, although the uncle was usually far away from the big girl, and he didn't like the big girl, but at that time he also spoke for this matter, not to let the big girl suffer this pain, so he also argued with the old lady for a few words, and was in a hurry, saying that those women who were entangled in the golden lotus, walked twisted and pinched, and some even wanted people to hug them, they didn't look like a healthy person, what was beautiful? Uncle saw that Miss Gu's actions were smooth, and her temperament was not weak, so he couldn't say that the five stops would be done. ”
"Having said that, don't forget, Mom, because of the Zhu family's affairs in front of me, Lan Ting may not know what to think of me, not to mention that there is an old lady who has been instigating, and in his marriage, he may be more obedient to the old lady's opinion." Shen was even more depressed.
"Although the old lady spoke before his death, but the matter of marriage, the uncle still needs to obey the words of the matchmaker of his parents, this matter, as long as he first persuaded the old man to nod, go to the house in Beiping to write a letter, and ask the uncle to come to Fenzhou to serve the sick, and then press, said that the abbot of Longling Temple asserted that the old man has encountered many difficulties since he came to Fenzhou, and the marriage between the uncle and Miss Gu rushed away, and all of them were solved, and the uncle was forced to filial piety, and he could only agree, as long as the marriage was completed, the uncle looked at the new grandmother is such a character, and he would only remember the good of the lady in his heart, Where can I still listen to the instigation of the old lady. ”
Shen shook his head: "I hope so, the old lady thinks in her heart, she wants to help Concubine Hui's mother and son fight against her sister and grandson, and Lanting is such a talent, I am afraid that the Duke of Jin Guo is more interested in recruiting Lanting as his grandson-in-law." Said and hated again: "I was still in Beiping at the time, listening to my sister's words, thinking about matching Fang Yatou to Lan Ting, I tried all my thoughts and twists and turns, and finally tested Lan Ting not disgusted, and I don't know what the third brother-in-law thought. ”
Mother Guo also sighed and said regretfully: "If Miss Fang becomes our grandmother, depending on the appearance of the eldest girl, Mrs. will recommend her to Niangniang, maybe it will be of greater use." ”
The two masters and servants here sighed relatively, and on the other hand, Li followed Zhao Zhizhou out of the inner house, and when he arrived at the study of the outer office, he saw that all the people who came in and out were men, and she was so ashamed that she stopped fluttering, but she didn't see the soul maid who appeared inexplicably, and sneered at her, and suddenly realized that at this time, the soul number was hung in the Dushuo Division, so why should she follow the rules and regulations of the world? Thinking of her previous life, her previous life, her previous life, she was born in the Tang Dynasty, but she also rode a high-headed horse and showed her face in a bearded suit, how could she have twisted like in this life, and immediately let go of her mind and walked through the wall with her head held high, but in the end she still did not completely get rid of the habits of her life, and stood eight steps away from the two men who spoke.
It is inevitable to pay attention to another man who has a lifelong event for his daughter, and maybe also has a role.
I saw that this person was wearing a dark green robe, with a scarf on his head, elegant demeanor, although his demeanor was humble, but his eyes were bright, and he was not over thirty years old, but he could be respectfully called "Mr. Yin" by Mrs. Shen, and although the lord of Zhizhou called "send Yu Yu", he was obviously respectful to this person, Li couldn't help but secretly care, thinking that if Chungui really married the son of the lord of Zhizhou, he needed to mention this Yin Jiyu to her, even if Chungui would not have direct contact with him, the female dependents often walked around, maybe it was also a help.
The Li family didn't pay so much attention to whether Zhao Zhizhou agreed to persuade the Gu family to compromise, all she was thinking about was the lifelong event of the Spring Return, although she didn't know what the situation of Zhao Zhizhou's family was, but thinking about the fact that Mrs. Shen was the queen's sister-in-law, how could she not marry into a cold family, and the Spring Returning could marry highly, and she would have something to rely on in the future, although she was relieved to be a mother, but she also understood that the Spring Return did not have the support of her mother's family, and in that high-ranking family, I am afraid that it would not be so easy.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, a sorrow is just right, and how many worries are born, and they can't be stable in the end.
Even if you get rid of the mortal body, a wisp of soul consciousness is more clear than before life, and you understand the joys and sorrows of the world, but in the end you can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and the human soul goes through reincarnation, how do you know how good or bad the next life is, just like the mother-daughter fate in this life, it can't be continued after reincarnation, but after all, you still can't let go, you can't put it away, you still can't let go of it, you still have the obsession of being alive, I wish my daughter a good life.
As soon as I was distracted, I only listened to the words in front of me vaguely, until I heard Zhao Zhizhou complain: "I was worried about three years before I got up, but I didn't expect to let go of the foreign office, before going to work, Xu Ge Lao and Gao Gonggong reminded one after another, but they only said that I should thoroughly investigate Shi Liangxing's governance of Fenzhou, what to inspect, how to investigate but did not explain, and the emperor approved Shi Liangxing's court push first...... I checked it like this, and I really found some major crimes, but it was in line with the will of Xu Ge Lao and Gao Gonggong, but I don't know if it violated the holy will. ”
There was a long sigh again: "Not to mention Zheng Huitang, who is neither a prince nor an official, but he has fallen in love with a lonely woman, and he has not succeeded in forcibly capturing her, this is a big deal, and he has no clue how many official duties he has at hand, so where can he take care of it." ”
Hearing this, Yin Jiyu touched his forehead.
Elder Xu Ge and Gonggong Gao, one is a cabinet scholar who is extremely trusted by the emperor, and the other is a eunuch who is the master of ceremonies and the eunuch who holds the seal, these two have greeted you before you go to work, master, you are still doubting the holy will? No wonder Zhao Ge was still not at ease before he died, and he didn't dare to hand over the pick on his shoulders to his eldest son, who grew up and grew old, and made those arrangements.
Yin Jiyu silently organized his words, not wanting to speak too sharply but he had to be clear, so he finally gave up and pointed out directly: "Uncle's inference, didn't the master listen to it at all?" ”
"How old is Lan Ting, he hasn't entered the ranks yet!"
Yin Jiyu: ......
After enduring several breaks, I suppressed the urge to scold - I didn't stand before I arrived, and I didn't enter the office, how did the old man of Zhizhou throw me a big deal or a small affair to worry about, and I didn't adapt to the water and soil, so I pretended to be sick for two months!
"When Emperor Guangzong, snubbed the cabinet, reused the ministers, now long live the throne, well aware of the disadvantages of imbalance, so the emphasis is on checks and balances to restore order, although at present, the cabinet and eunuchs are equally important, but the emperor's most taboo thing is that the ministers and eunuchs colluded, Shi Liang tried to bribe Gao Gonggong, followed by the emperor to let the old man take office, Xu Ge Lao and Gao Gonggong also successively reminded the lord, this is the embodiment of the holy will, the emperor has been dissatisfied with Shi Liangxing, just because there is no evidence of guilt, and approved the court push, for a while can not \ / on the punishment of Shi Liangxing, otherwise Shi Liangxing after promotion, The post of Fenzhou governor must be succeeded by his party, and it is not the turn of the master to take on it. ”
As long as Zhao Zhizhou did this, it seemed to be relieving the emperor's suspicions, and he couldn't even get the holy will!
"The matter of the Rongguo Mansion ......"
"Of course the lord has to take care of it!" Yin Jiyu said categorically: "Since the master took office, he has been constrained a lot, although it is the party to contain him, but Shi Liangxing is not enough to cover the sky with one hand, not to mention that people go to tea and cool?" The key is that the lord has not yet established enough prestige, which makes the door under the rule of Fenzhou Mansion, which is somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Liangxing, still wait and see...... It has been confirmed that Shi Liangxing has long been in collusion with Rong Guogong, if the lord can take advantage of this matter to impeach Rong Guogong and be reprimanded by the imperial court, wouldn't it be just right to establish his authority. ”
"But such a trivial matter, it will not let Rong Guogong be reprimanded by the imperial court, and Concubine Zheng and Wei Guogong will not sit idly by."
"If the Gu clan admits it, if it weren't for the coercion of the Rongguo Mansion, why would they treat the widows and orphans harshly? The Gu family is a local clan in Fenyang, and they are all forced to join the body and unify the door, and do things that are slandered and ridiculed, which shows how arrogant the Rongguo Mansion is, although Zheng Xiu, the Duke of Wei, is the brother of the Zheng Qiu clan, but now, the emperor is implementing the reform, Zheng Xiu is a smart person, how can he not realize that Shi Liangxing has lost his sacred heart? The master's impeachment, as long as it is justified, Zheng Xiu may have to seconded it and take the initiative to plead for Zheng Qiu. ”
"But according to Neizi, the patriarch of the Gu clan is determined to cling to the Rongguo Mansion, how can it be so easy to persuade, but instead agrees to be the enemy of the Rongguo Mansion."
"The master will leave this matter to the subordinates, stay and investigate it below, and then make a plan."
"Then there will be a lot of work to spare."
What else can Yin Jiyu say? This kind of affairs that are not premised on salary increases are done from time to time, and he, a staff member, should really worry about it.
Pouted, with bitter tears in his heart, he listened to another sentence: "Neizi still has an idea, saying that the eldest girl Gu can marry Lan Ting, what do you think?" ”
Yin Jiyu smiled dryly: "This is the master's family matter, how dare you talk more." ”
If he talks too much, he will not be calculated to death by Lan Ting, he can't do it, he can't do it resolutely, he would rather offend Master Zhao ten times than dare to offend half Uncle Zhao.
