I listened to the queen's words too much, and I was relieved. - The queen's marriage was lent to the Pei family, and they didn't dare to disobey.

Two days later, the Pei Mansion in the capital received an edict from the queen's mother, giving the fourth daughter of the Pei family, Pei Shufen, who had not yet reached the throne, to Ningyuan Hou Chuhua as the successor. He also asked the chamberlain to quietly pass on the message of the queen's mother, ordering them to get married within 100 days, saying that it was to better take care of the two immature children left behind.

Although the Pei family was unwilling, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order.

The Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion immediately invited the official media to come to the door and gave the Pei family a dowry. The etiquette, although it was a little hasty, was complete.

Pei Shufen saw the queen's decree, so she put down the big stone in her heart and happily followed the maid to embroider the hijab. She is not good at needlework, but her maid Tongyue is a good needlework, only a little worse than Sanpei Shufang. Therefore, the hijab embroidered by Tongyue, Pei Shufen pierced two stitches on it, which can be regarded as her "hand" made.

In the upper room of Pei's mansion, several masters of the Pei family were quite troubled by this marriage.

"Mother, Shu Fen is, how can she get married before the two? Besides, she hasn't ...... the matter yet, don't say that Xia and Master Pei, that is, the eldest young master Pei Shuren, are very uncomfortable.

Master Pei sat on the side, and said with a wooden face Since it is the queen's will, let Shu Fen marry first. ”

Xia is a woman's family, and she can't let go of her face, and she is a little unsafe, which will make people say that we are in a hurry to tie up with the Marquis of Ningyuan. Also, where do you put the two of you? Shu Lan is okay to say, after all, she is married, and she can get married next year. Shu Fang didn't even decide on a kiss. Now that they are married, they haven't even decided on their relatives, so people will miss Shu Fang? Does she still want to get married? ”

The Shen family is also in this matter, and it is not authentic for the Marquis of Ningyuan. But in the end, she has a different vision, and she hasn't spent much time with a few sisters-in-law, and she has already seen that this Sishufen acts differently from the world. Although he is young, he is bold. Moreover, looking at her appearance, she has long had thoughts about her brother-in-law. If you don't let you get married, you may make a scandal......

"Father, mother, I think this matter has to be made people, our Pei family, is married to a daughter on the order of the queen's mother. When the time comes, it will be generously written on the invitation that it is the queen mother who personally instructed us to pick an auspicious day. If people want to think about it, it's none of our family's business. Shen's words are hidden in the needle, and the point is up.

But the people in the room understood. It is not a secret that the queen gives marriage, but if she doesn't want to let people say it later, it is necessary to let others do it.

The eldest young master Pei Shuren thought about it, looked up at his wife Shen and said with a light smile This is okay, but I have to be scolded by the saint again. ”

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were here, the Shen family didn't dare to be as happy and angry as they were in the house, but they just glanced at it and nodded slightly, "It's all for a few, you, the eldest brother, even if you are scolded twice by the saint, you won't lose a piece of skin." ”

Pei Shuren glanced at his wife deeply, didn't say any more, turned back to Xia and Master Pei and said Since his father and mother did not object, he would go down and urge people to prepare a dowry for the four times. ”

Speaking of dowry, when Pei Shufan got married, although he was also in a hurry, the dowry prepared was ten dozen or ten. The five-room rosewood furniture in the main house alone was married to the princess back then, and she couldn't find such a good set. That is to say, the Pei family is a century-old family in Yuezhou, so they can accumulate so many good rosewood.

Now that it came to Pei Shufen's head, Xia suddenly got up a little excited, glanced at Master Pei, and said that Shufen is the master's daughter, and the dowry will be handled by the master. With that, Xia got up and went into the inner room.

Master Pei secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he was busy getting up and saying that Shufen was yours, so you can watch it. He glanced at the inner room again, and said loudly that he was not comparing to her Shu Fan. She is a concubine, and she fills the house, and she marries in such a hurry, and the dowry is too much, which makes people think about it. So saying, he got up and chased him into the inner room.

Pei Shuren is used to seeing his father's way of getting along with his mother on weekdays, his mother is angry, and his father doesn't know how much he has to accompany to get through, so he got up with a smile and stretched out his hand to Shen and said Dad and mother still have something to say, let's go first. ”

Shen pursed his lips and smiled, also reached out, put it on Pei Shuren's hand, and stood up.

Pei Shuren held her hand and pinched it lightly, Shen's cheeks were slightly dizzy, and he glanced at him, no.

The two went out to the outhouse hand in hand, Pei Shuren let go of Shen's hand, flicked his sleeves, and walked to the front alone.

Shen half-lowered his head, took a slight step back, followed Pei Shuren, and returned to the courtyard.

The courtyard where Shen and Pei Shuren live is the East Cross Courtyard in Pei's Mansion, and it is also the largest courtyard except for the main courtyard of Master Pei and Xia.

Master Pei has resigned now, and he should no longer live in the main courtyard. However, Pei Shuren and the Shen family refused to live in the main courtyard, and Master Pei and Xia felt the filial piety of the eldest family, so they lived in the main courtyard.

Shen's dowry maid Caiyun saw that the young grandmother and the young master were gone, and she was busy helping the eldest young master untie the coat outside and change into a homely robe.

Pei Shuren blocked her with his hand and went into the inner room to change her clothes.

Caiyun still wanted to follow up, but Shen had already stopped her, saying goodbye and following up, you don't have to worry about it today, talk to Caihuan, and wait in the house. In a while, I will order you to have something to say. ”

Caiyun and Caihuan are the two rooms that Shen gave Pei Shuren back then, and they have been with Pei Shuren for seven or eight years, and they have not come out, and the two maids are also twenty-five years old.

Caiyun listened to Shen's order, knew that it was not good, and glanced at the inner room with tears in his eyes, just in time to see the eldest young master change his clothes and come out of it.

"The eldest young master......" Caiyun trembled his lips, and was about to kneel down for the eldest young master.

Pei Shuren glanced at her, and felt a little guilty about her, so he raised his body and sat down next to Shen, and was silent for a while and said You go first. ”

Caiyun couldn't, glanced at the eldest young master twice, and then got up and went out backwards.

"You've got it all figured out?" Pei Shuren looked at Shen Shi who was sitting on the side and asked.

Shen looked at Pei Shuren's eyes steadily, and said softly If you are reluctant, I can keep them. ”

Pei Shuren smiled, moved closer, and whispered in her ear that I didn't know who was going to stuff them into me......"

Shen lowered his head slightly, and two red clouds flew on his face. Without the decision to kill and punish outside, the sonorous and strong appearance of the intention is more touching than the woman who is habitually weak and can't help the wind.

Pei Shuren finally couldn't help but hold her hand.

Shen struggled twice, broke free from Pei Shuren's hands, immediately got up and sat on the warm chair on the side, glanced at him, and said You are the eldest brother, even if you don't have to serve filial piety, you should avoid it. Besides, I didn't give them to you for you......" Speaking of this, Shen looked at the curtain embroidered with five blessings at the door fixedly, and sighed and said Blame me too. I was the one who mistook them. ”

Pei Shuren saw that Shen blamed himself, so he patiently comforted her and said You also asked them at the beginning, and they were also voluntary. Now that they are older, they have been hanging in our room, and they have been mistaken if they can't go up or down. Let's let them out, as we agreed last night. Give them a grace, in addition to their nationality, let them go out and choose their own sons-in-law, which is also the whole affection of your master and servant. ”

Seeing that Shen still looked guilty, Pei Shuren added that you should give more escorts when the time comes, and just help them more in terms of money. ”

Pei Shuren saw that he was about to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and he became more rigorous with himself.

If you want to be a civil official, you want to enter the cabinet, and you must strictly guard against the word "woman". Ordinary civil officials, taking a concubine, visiting a green building or something, it is harmless, and no one will hold on to it. But if one day in the future, this civil official is on the reserve list of Wenyuan Pavilion, then all the previous behaviors of this person, public and private morality, will be exposed in front of everyone's eyes. Whether it is a cavalry or a speech official, they will carefully examine your ancestors for eight generations, every word and deed, and maybe even the ratio of the time you spend sleeping in the main room and sleeping with the concubine. How many people are planted on women, and they can't pass the background check, and they lose the opportunity to reach the highest position in the civil service.

There are too many lessons from the past, so the civil officials of the Great Qi Dynasty are now well-behaved. There are those who take concubines, but there are very few who spoil concubines and kill their wives. Because very few men regard concubines as more important than their official positions.

Unless the eldest woman is too weak, if you want to say that the rules are there, the law is there, and the identity is there, if such a situation is favorable, the woman is still being held by a few little hooves bought with money, and you can only blame the brainless.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, and if you step on it a little, you will not only be ruined, but also likely to cause disaster to the nine clans. When he was slaughtering for the official, he had a whole room of concubines, but he was afraid that he would not have enough pigtails and kill himself. - In the officialdom of the Great Qi Dynasty, if you want to ruin someone else's career, it's very simple, just send him a few more. Only men who don't have enough brains will feel that the more the merrier.

It is also for this reason that Pei Shuren is now a Beijing official, and these two rooms are the first to be sent away. When he was not married, he never passed through the room. These two rooms were opened when Shen married him and was pregnant with his first child. At that time, the Shen family only told them that when they got pregnant, they would carry their aunt.

Pei Shuren didn't want concubines, nor did he want to seriously accept them as concubines and hinder their careers, so he did something tricks, so the two of them had sex for so many years, and they were not pregnant.

Shen didn't know that Pei Shuren had done it before, and he always thought that these two maids couldn't have children, and he didn't want to let them go out to suffer. - If you can't have children, where can you live in this world?

Pei Shuren later understood Shen's concerns, so last night, he confessed to Shen's 1510. He also said that in the future, he would be busy with official business, and he would no longer have to deal with concubines and aunts, and said that the law is cloudy, and a man can only take a concubine if he has no children at forty. He already has two, and he doesn't need to take concubines for the sake of his heirs, and he also made an oath to the Shen family not to take concubines for the rest of his life.

Shen is naturally surprised and delighted, he has always been a big man. Since he said that he would not accept concubines, he would definitely not go back on his word. In addition, Shen finally let down his guard against his mother-in-law, so he agreed to release the two rooms to match people.

Now that he talked about this matter, Shen was still a little embarrassed, and said to Pei Shuren angrily, Since you have concerns, why didn't you make it clear to me earlier? ”

Pei Shuren reclined on the Luohan bed, and didn't want to entangle the two of them anymore, so he smiled and changed the topic and said goodbye to them, you just sent it. Let's talk about the dowry of the fourth. ”

Shen settled down, got up and went to the inner room to get the account book, sat down next to Pei Shuren, opened them one by one to show him, and said that the dowry of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was two thousand taels of silver, and ten loads of silk and satin clothing, although it was not a little, it was by no means a lot. There's just one thing wrong with that,"

Glancing at Pei Shuren and seeing him looking inquiringly, Shen hesitated a little and said that Mother Zhao, who gave a dowry gift in Ningyuanhou Mansion, secretly told me that Aunt Naqi in their mansion also gave a dowry back then. And it's the same as the dowry for four. ”

Yes By].
