[Chapter 32: Sighing for the Emperor's Husband and Wife] (1)
Li Longji doesn't just remember, but I'm afraid that he will never forget it.
At that time, he was still the king of Linzi, and soon after he married Wang Jun, because he had not enjoyed much parental affection since he was a child, he was very close to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and often took Wang Jun to eat in his father-in-law's house Wang Renjiao. That day coincided with his birthday, and he returned to his parents' house with Wang Jun.
Wang Renjiao was not in a high official position, his income was limited, and he loved to drink all his life, and he never knew how to save money, and when Li Longji arrived, he couldn't take out many decent silver coins and silk silks on hand, so that he could make a birthday for Li Longji. Ignoring his wife's complaints and his daughter's son-in-law's obstruction, Wang Renjiao went out without saying a word, and came back in half a day.
When he returned, the purple half-arm on his body was gone, but he brought back a bucket of noodles and two jugs of wine.
When Wang Renjiao entered the stove, Wang Jun quietly followed: "Aya, where is your half-arm?" β
Wang Renjiao smiled embarrassedly: "It's just that Aya is usually too greedy for cups, and he has no money in his hand." But Saburo is here, and it's his birthday, how can he not cook him something delicious? Aya couldn't think of any other way at this moment, so he used the old half-arm to exchange some noodles and wine, so that it was more than enough to make a soup cake. β
"Aye, if you don't have any money, tell your daughter, she has it with you." Wang Jun said that he was about to take out the money bag, but Wang Renjiao held his hand:
"Nonsense! Isn't that Saburo's Yulu on you? Go back and plan carefully, give Saburo a good meal, and bring it to me, isn't that a waste? β
Only then did Li Longji poke his head out. At this time, Wang Renjiao turned his back to him, and Wang Jun happened to face him, he made a look, asked Wang Jun to be silent, and then beckoned Wang Jun to come out.
Wang Jun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She wanted to use her husband's money to subsidize her mother's family, but she was discovered by her husband, and she didn't know if her husband would blame her: "San Lang...... I ......"
Sure enough, I heard Li Longji say: "This is your mistake." β
Wang Jun lowered her head, and before she could speak, she heard her husband continue:
"How can you give the money to your father-in-law so bluntly?"
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Li Longji blankly. Li Longji felt that his little wife was very cute at the moment, and couldn't help but scratch the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Father-in-law stands up to the sky, if you give it to him like this, of course he doesn't want it." As he spoke, he hooked the corners of his lips and winked gently, "To my mother-in-law." β
"That's right." Wang Jun smiled suddenly.
Li Longji was afraid that his father-in-law would hear it, so he hurriedly "shhh He looked at his father-in-law in the stove who was still busy and didn't look back, so he also took out a purse from his body and stuffed it into Wang Jun's hand: "I still have a little here, I'll give it to you." I'm here to help you watch your father-in-law, you quietly, go quickly. β
Wang Jun nodded and left. As soon as she took two steps, she turned her head sideways a little shyly: "San Lang...... Thank you. β
Li Longji's smile was as brilliant as the morning sun: "You and I are married, what do you say thank you or not?" β
Wang Jun's face turned red, and he hurriedly raised his feet and left. At the same time, Li Longji walked into the stove: "Father-in-law, what are you going to do?" This soup is so delicious! β
"Incense, huh?" Wang Renjiao laughed and said, "San Lang, don't you know, the soup cakes I make are no worse than the famous cooks outside!" San Lang, you sit, it's fine for a while! β
- Although the days were bitter but beautiful, it is a pity that they are gone.
Li Longji is not a ruthless person, and he is also very attached to Wen Cun in the past, thinking of Wang Jun, who was like a rose at that time, and his father-in-law, who was closer than his biological father, he temporarily pressed the idea of abolishing the queen after talking to Jiang Jiao, but now he is a little shaken. After all, after more than ten years of husband and wife relationship, he finally failed to ruthlessly break free from Queen Wang's hands: "Don't worry, I won't give up on you easily." β
When Xiao Jiangyuan arrived at Penglai Pavilion, Li Longji had already walked out of Penglai Pavilion. His mood recovered a lot, and he seemed to have been appeased in some way, and Xiao Jiangyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the queen is fine. What happened in Penglai Pavilion that made her family Ah Lang change her mind? Since the queen is safe and sound, then Jiang Jiao should also be ......
She seemed to be rejoicing too soon.
As soon as Li Longji walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, he dropped a sentence: "Jiang Jiao talked about the palace in vain, sow discord, spread rumors, and immediately arrested him, punished him with a cane, and sent him to Lingnan." I'll leave it to you. β
Li Longji's iron-faced selflessness made Xiao Jiangyuan's heartstrings tremble. She immediately felt that her family Ah Lang had not changed his mind at all, but just put it down temporarily due to the wrong time or for some other reason. His severe punishment of Jiang Jiao means that his determination to abolish it is as hard as a rock.
She really couldn't figure out why Li Longji insisted on abolishing the queen, but she could already imagine that there must be a more important reason. It seems that she can't help Queen Wang anymore, but Jiang Jiao, she still wants to try again: "Everyone will not see the Duke of Chu again?" β
When they meet, they will have something to say, maybe her Ah Lang will think of her past feelings, and she may not be able to open the net. Xiao Jiangyuan thought so, but heard Li Longji say: "No." β
"Don't listen to what he thinks?"
"I don't listen."
This is the last friend of her family, Xiao Jiangyuan knew that he shouldn't ask again, but he still opened his mouth: "Do you really not give him a chance at all?" β
Li Longji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan in surprise: "When did you start and have so many questions about my decision?" After thinking about it, he said, "Today's events won't be related to you, will they?" β
Xiao Jiangyuan would not deceive Li Longji, and was about to open his mouth immediately, when he heard Li Longji immediately say: "Okay, don't say it, I don't want to see similar things in the future." As for Jiang Jiao...... I didn't want his life, and his family can continue to live in the mansion in Chang'an, which is already my magnanimity. β
Although Li Longji didn't want Jiang Jiao's life, Jiang Jiao had been pampered for many years, and once he was scolded by the cane for sixty years, he was exiled to a wild place, and his injuries worsened on the road and he passed away.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter of the abolition of the queen finally spread, Li Longji was furious, and even connected Jiang Jiao's relatives, some were given death, some were exiled, and some were relegated to the local area to make a history of assassination, but Jiang Jiao's wife and children were still allowed to stay in the Chang'an mansion and mourn for Jiang Jiao.
However, the relatives are scattered, and the mansion of the Duke of Chu in the past is now full of birds, and the whole funeral is bleak and clear, and there are only a handful of people who come to the door to mourn.
Xiao Jiangyuan is one of them.
Most of Jiang's house slaves have also dispersed, leaving only a housekeeper and a family of three to take care of Jiang Jiao's wife, daughter and infant son's daily life. In addition, there is another person who stayed in the Jiang Mansion.
Xiao Jiangyuan has seen that person, a few years ago, when that person was still a thousand cows, and later with the help of Jiang Jiao, he became the fifth prince Zhongyun, although he was an idle position with no real power, he also entered the ranks of the nobles - Li Linfu.
After Jiang Jiao's death, there was no adult son at home, and his wife was too sad, so the funeral was presided over by his nephew Li Linfu. Everyone in the Jiang family was crying, but Li Linfu didn't have any sadness at all, and there was always a shallow smile on his lips.
is full of filial piety, his face is a little haggard, but his eyes are still shining. The goatee's beard is cut a little shorter, a little less cunning, and a little more capable. Xu is because of the queen of the clan, her thin lips and chin are a bit like her family's Ah Lang.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan arrive in person, Li Linfu was quite surprised. This did not delay him from stepping forward with a salute, welcoming Xiao Jiangyuan into the mourning hall, and giving him the opportunity to observe this close minister of the Son of Heaven.
The appearance is delicate, the temperament is gentle, the posture is straight and well-proportioned, and there is a bit of boys and girls. She was very young, almost no different from when we first metβdid the Son of Heaven send her, or did she come herself?
Jiang Niangzi and Jiang Xiaoniang had never seen Xiao Jiangyuan, and after listening to Li Linfu's introduction, they hurriedly saluted respectfully, and directly acquiesced that Xiao Jiangyuan was sent by the Son of Heaven, and I was afraid that Xiao Jiangyuan would open his mouth and it would be something bad, such as giving death. The young son of the Jiang family in Mrs. Jiang's arms seemed to sense his mother's fear and suddenly cried.
Xiao Jiangyuan said empathetically: "I came here today, and the saint doesn't know. β
This sentence made the Jiang family can't help but burst into tears. At this moment when everyone avoided them, Xiao Jiangyuan was still willing to come to the door in his own name, which was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for them. Xiao Jiangyuan knew what they would think, and did not explain it superfluously, and calmly agreed to their imagination.
She also brought some money and gifts: "Please mourn again." β
Li Linfu thanked Xiao Jiangyuan on behalf of the Jiang family, and said: "Uncle is to blame for himself, and he has suffered the consequences, and he has not harmed his aunt and cousins, which is a great blessing, and I am grateful to the saint for taking care of it and remembering the old feelings." β
Xiao Jiangyuan felt that Li Linfu was very interesting, and the Jiang family may have accepted her easily because they were too afraid of death, but Li Linfu not only didn't believe it, but also kept on guard, but what he said was a pun, both to her and to the Jiang family. If she was really sent by Li Longji, she would forward this to her family Ah Lang in the future, but I was afraid that her family Ah Lang would also look at him differently.
After losing his uncle Jiang Jiao, Li Linfu had no other way to go up, and it was normal for him to look for another opportunity, but Xiao Jiangyuan didn't expect that he would be so stitchy and not let go of any opportunity. The desire was so urgent, and despite his best efforts to restrain it, it was still leaked. In him, she saw herself who once boasted of being a very popular minister in Haikou.
"I heard that a few months ago, Little Lady Jiang made a marriage contract with a talented man from Webster?" Xiao Jiangyuan began to talk about the main purpose of his visit.
The Jiang family was worried about this crumbling marriage, but they didn't expect Xiao Jiangyuan to take the initiative to mention it, as if he wanted to help. Jiang Niangzi hurriedly gave Li Linfu a look and asked him to talk to Xiao Jiangyuan. Li Linfu felt a little strange, in his opinion, those who do not fall into the well are considered good people, and those who send charcoal in the snow do not exist in the world. If Xiao Jiangyuan was really not sent by the saint, then he must have other purposes.
