Chapter 154: The Handle
Wei Tong and Wei Zhao, father and son, came from Chenghui Palace, and were very excited to see the Jiang family, Jiang Yucheng and Yan Niang took the children to pay tribute to the father and son.
Wei Tong stretched out his hand and helped him, "We are all a family, so we don't need to be polite." ”
Jiang Yucheng shook his head, "Now it's different from the past, and I can't waste the ceremony." ”
Wei Tong didn't say anything, turned to his son and said, "Zhao'er, your grandfather, grandmother and uncles are here, give them a salute." ”
Wei Zhao obediently did so, Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it." ”
Man Man glanced at them, "Dad, mother, you have already performed the national ceremony before, and now we are talking about the family ceremony, and as a junior, it is appropriate to greet you." ”
Wei Tong also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the husband and wife both said this, Jiang Yucheng and Yan Niang didn't say anything anymore.
Among the three uncles, Wei Zhao's favorite is Wen Yan. Because Wen Yan would take him on a big horse, that is, let him ride on his neck, and then take him for a walk around the imperial garden.
The second is Wen Yu, Wen Yu made a lot of small toys when he was in Qili, and he also brought them to the palace this time. Wei Zhao was very happy after receiving the gift from his uncle, and he was reluctant to let go after playing all day.
As for Wenbo, he has felt that he is the eldest brother since he was a child, and he must be mature, stable and sensible, but he has grown into an unsmiling appearance. When the little emperor Wei Zhao saw him, he immediately became well-behaved and cute, even if he put on a smiling face, Wei Zhao didn't dare to be naughty.
Man Man often said that since Wenbo came back, someone was finally able to cure Wei Zhao, and almost let Wen Bo live in the palace to discipline Wei Zhao.
However, the Jiang family still has more than two months to go out of the filial piety period, and Wenbo can't enter the palace from time to time, so after entering the palace this time, the Jiang family began to live in seclusion again, and only received familiar people on weekdays, and politely refused other people who were invited to meet outside the door.
Unlike the Jiang family's low profile, Ling Jiming initially recruited a group of officials under the banner of the regent's biological father. After the death of Emperor Xianqing, Wei Zhao ascended to the throne, and Wei Tong became the actual ruler.
Because of Ling Jiming's instigation, the Jiang family was exiled to Qili. Full of resentment towards Ling Jiming's Ling family, husband and wife are one, and Wei Zhi doesn't have a good face towards Ling Jiming.
Wei Tong issued a pardon order instead of Wei Zhao, and the government and the opposition knew that he wanted to take this opportunity to pardon the Jiang family. Although Ling Jiming spared no effort to play the role of the biological father of the princess regent, he became a joke among colleagues.
Especially after Jiang Yucheng returned to Beijing, Wei Tong casually found a reason to demote him three levels in a row. But the crime that made him degraded was real, which gave him no chance to defend himself.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, Ling's father, who had been sick and bedridden for a long time, suddenly became ill and died after just two days.
Ling Jiming was already depressed because he was demoted, but now that his father has died, he has to worry about filial piety, coupled with the ridicule he received after Jiang Yucheng's return, his tense nerves were completely broken.
He got drunk, and then rushed into Fan Jin's yard with the intention of drinking, slapped her involuntarily, and blamed Fan Jin for everything.
At that moment, Fan Jin couldn't wait for the man in front of her to disappear, and the slap and his vicious curse made her completely dead to this man. If it weren't for her son, she would rather die with him.
After venting enough, Ling Jiming left the main courtyard leisurely, and bumped into a maid on the way back. I don't know which tendon in his mind was wrong, and he actually pulled the maid into the study, and it became a good thing with her that night.
After waking up on the second day, after seeing the sleeping maid beside him, Ling Jiming's whole body felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and it was cold inside and out.
He drove the maid out of bed like crazy, holding his head and muttering, "What have I done here?" ”
His father died yesterday, and he slept with a maid by getting drunk, and if it was known to outsiders, his career in this life would come to an end.
Thinking of this, his eyes became cruel when he looked at the maid, and the maid resolutely could not stay, otherwise he would bring great disaster to himself.
The maid didn't know that she was in trouble, and she was still imagining a better life in the future.
"What's your name and where are you on an errand?" After a long time, Ling Jiming's voice came.
The maid replied timidly: "The slave maid is called Chunyi, and she is a second-class girl in the lady's yard." ”
Ling Jiming glanced at her in disgust, and his tone suddenly became gentle, "Chunyi, you originally became my woman, I should give you a name." But you also know that the old lady only went yesterday, and I am still in the filial piety period, so I can't give you a name. ”
Chunyi looked up at him with an aggrieved face, and Ling Jiming said again: "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who gives up from the beginning. In this way, I have a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, you go there for a while, and then I will take you back to my house after my filial piety period. ”
Hearing this, Chunyi changed from disappointment to happiness, pretending to be understanding, "Chunyi listens to adults." ”
Seeing that Chunyi agreed, Ling Jiming immediately began to arrange, and ordered his henchmen to send Chunyi to Zhuangzi to solve the problem. Who knew that Chunyi's life should not be extinguished, Fan Jin, who was found to be clueless, sent someone to save him, and he was still well fed and drunk, until Chunyi was diagnosed as pregnant two months later.
Ling Jiming didn't know that his handle had been caught, and after handing out Ding Wei's fold, he did not send Ling's father's coffin back to his hometown, but bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing and buried his father in the capital.
He didn't want to leave the capital, he didn't want to give up everything he had worked so hard for, and when he was filial piety, he often secretly interacted with some officials.
Fan Jin was holding Ling Jiming's pigtail in her hand, for the sake of her son, she didn't want to break the net with Ling Jiming, so as to humiliate her son.
Just when she was forbearance for her son, Ling Jiming wanted Ling Yao to be engaged to the official's lame daughter in order to be able to get in touch with the officials of the ministry.
This matter was done by Ling Jiming without Fan Jin, and by the time Fan Jin knew, Ling Jiming had already exchanged his children's Geng posts with the official.
Fan Jin pounced on Ling Jiming like crazy, beating and scolding him. Ling Jiming pushed her away, "That's enough, I'm just here to inform you today, if you go crazy again, I'll send you back to Fan's house immediately." ”
Fan Jin suddenly burst out laughing when he heard this, and after laughing, he pointed at Ling Jiming and scolded: "Ling Jiming, you brute, even Yao'er's life was ruined for the sake of your career, you wait, I won't let you go." ”
Ling Jiming glanced at her in disgust, "I'm too lazy to say more to you, Yao'er has been wronged, and I will definitely compensate him well when I recover." ”
After speaking, he patted his clothes and left without looking back.
Fan Jin stared at his back resentfully and muttered, "Since you are so ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous." ”
