Meng Zhipei inherited the knighthood at an early age, the starting point was extremely high, at the age of thirteen, he was full of will for the first time, he did not win, and then he took the exam every year, but he must fall in every exam.

At a palace banquet, the emperor saw Meng Zhipei, asked a few words, and learned that he was still a child, angry and funny, and pointed at him and warned him to work hard.

After that, whenever Meng Zhipei referred to it, there were thousands of pairs of eyes in the capital looking at it, but the more attention he paid to, the more jokes he had.

What's even funnier is that Meng Zhipei seems to have become the worst in the mouths of other families, but whoever loses the list, he is disheartened, just think about Meng Zhipei, and he will be relieved!

In autumn and spring, you can always hear a sentence in the poetry academies, restaurants, and teahouses in the capital: You are already very good, you look at the Pingsu Marquis, after so many years of examination, you are still a child!

Seeing that the children of other families had gained fame through the imperial examination and entered the office, Mrs. Lao Hou was anxious, and asked a few old friends of the old marquis to ask them to mention it on the premise of the emperor, at least they entered the official first, and the imperial examination or something took their time. What I got was one refusal after another, and everyone's answer was the same, only saying: Let the Hou Ye do a good job in learning first, and at least take a test, so that I can only open my mouth in front of the emperor.

Do you still need them if you are admitted to the lift? Mrs. Hou scolded them in her heart for only thinking about utilitarianism, not about old feelings!

Unable to get her wish, Mrs. Lao Hou was unwilling, so she showed her old face and went to see Rong Guogong.

When the old marquis was still there, he had a very good relationship with Rongguo.

Rong Guogong passed the sixtieth year, and he had already been raised by Shi Rongyang, not asking about the government, and when he learned the intention of Mrs. Laohou, he was a little helpless, and thought: Even the emperor knows that Meng Zhipei has repeatedly failed in the exam, if he wants to be an official under the emperor's nose, unless the emperor appoints it, who would dare to recommend a useless straw bag in the Manchu Dynasty?

However, the words naturally can't be said so bluntly.

After listening to Rong Guogong's persuasion, Mrs. Hou had to rest her mind and was very unhappy for many days.

Years later, Meng Zhipei suddenly said that he wanted to set up a poetry academy with a few friends, so that they could study literature and poetry together and study hard.

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she almost shed tears of joy, and said that she was a good child, and she must be in high school this time.

Jiang Lingran understands that it is not easy to gain fame, and Meng Zhipei has long been doted on and connived by Mrs. Lao Hou and has become a person who can't endure hardships, I'm afraid that he won't be able to endure these years of hard study. But regardless of whether he passed the test or not, Jiang Lingran was very supportive of his decision.

Self-run poetry academy, Meng Zhipei goes out early and returns late every day, and his hard work breaks the image of Jiang Lingran's heart that is difficult to persevere, every time she sees him tired and returning, she is distressed and relieved, so she can only make some tonic snacks and send them to the poetry academy every few hours.

But the truth always likes to slap people!

It turns out that the poetry courtyard in Meng Zhipei's mouth is the Yixiang Pavilion in Beishi - one of the most luxurious Qinlou Chu Pavilions in the capital.

What he wants to meet is not a poetry friend, but a girl in Yixiang Pavilion, Zheng Qingyi.

His deception is cruel and merciless.

Overnight, she became a joke after tea and dinner in the capital, but Mrs. Hou scolded her for not being able to tie a man's heart and being useless.

Half a month later, Meng Zhipei proposed to admit Zheng Qingyi into the house.

She didn't want to, so he scolded her for being jealous and arrogant, saying that people who have no father and no mother don't know what are three obedience and four virtues, and what is a woman's precept.

Their mother and son put all the fault on her, and they had to blame her parents, how could Jiang Lingran bear it? During the quarrel, Meng Zhipei made a move on her, which directly led to Yi'er's death.

She didn't take care of her body, so he welcomed Zheng Qingyi into the door with red silk - the Qinglou woman whose belly was a month bigger than her!

Thinking of something, Jiang Lingran's expression froze, and there was a dazed breath in her eyes, and after the dazedness, the frost in her eyes melted, and her palm gently stroked her lower abdomen... Counting the time, she is now pregnant.

In the previous life, their mother-son relationship was shallow, and she didn't keep him, in this life, can she watch him grow up healthily?

But what she did today is destined for her to break off with the Pingsu Marquis Mansion, if Meng Zhipei knows that she is pregnant, then there will inevitably be a snatch in ten months, no matter how bad it is, today's efforts will be in vain, and she and the child will be detained by the Pingsu Marquis Mansion.

No way!

She can't!

Jiang Lingran's gaze turned cold, and the fingers covering his lower abdomen slowly flexed, tightened little by little, and clenched into fists.

It's better to be born without a father than to die young!

There was a sudden commotion under the corridor for some reason, and Mrs. Hou frowned in displeasure, glanced at Jiang Lingran, and reprimanded: "What is the matter of shouting?" It's only been a few days, and there are no rules in the Hou Mansion! ”

Qu Lian heard that Mrs. Hou was beating Jiang Lingran, and sarcastically said that she had only been the assistant housekeeper for a few days to make the house lose its rules and order, she secretly laughed in her heart, glanced at Jiang Lingran a little proudly, and bent her knees obediently: "Don't worry, Mrs. Hou, go and take a look." ”

Jiang Lingran knew the cause of the riot, so he secretly evened out his breath and restrained his mood.

But after a few breaths, Qu Lian went and returned, walked too quickly and was tripped at the threshold and fell to the ground with a "bang", she didn't care about the pain, stumbled into the small Buddha hall, and burst out of her throat and eyes with a terrible shout: "Old Mrs. Hou, it's not good, Master Hou, he's not good!" As he spoke, he knelt at the feet of Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou was frightened by this voice, and after evening out her senses, she kicked Qu Lian's heart, and reprimanded sharply: "Cheap hooves, dare to curse Master Hou, I pulled out your tongue!" ”

Zeng Da, the housekeeper who followed Qu Lian in, and Mother Song, who was beside Mrs. Lao Hou, saw this posture, swallowed back the words in fright, and stood by the door with her hands tied.

This kick was extremely heavy, Qu Lian fell to the ground on her back, got up and knelt down again, and confessed repeatedly.

Mrs. Hou scolded: "Shut up!" ”

Qu Lian suddenly stopped.

Mrs. Hou gasped, glanced at Zeng Da and Mother Song coldly, and said in a low voice, "What the hell is going on!" ”

Mother Song met the eyes of Mrs. Hou who wanted to eat people, stepped forward and handed over the arrow in her hand and the letterhead tied to the arrow, and said worriedly: "Mrs. Hou, Master Hou has been kidnapped. The letter said that he would take 50,000 taels of silver and go to the incense pavilion to ransom people. ”

Old Mrs. Hou gasped in disbelief: "How is this possible, Pei'er is the Hou Ye, don't they want to die!" After reading the contents of the letter, Mrs. Hou's fierce and cold face withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, with two packets of tears in her eyes, and she howled: "My hard-working son——"

Qu Lian saw Mrs. Lao Hou crying like this, and she had no backbone, and she cried and cried.

The small Buddhist hall was filled with miserable and desperate cries, and the half-understood maids under the corridor all turned white when they heard this movement, and they suspected in their hearts, isn't Meng Zhipei Mo gone?!

Mother Song and Zeng Da glanced at each other, and they were both stunned by this situation, it seems that now is not the time to cry...
