、、、、、、、、、、 The curtains were heavy, and the fine ambergris curled in the silver-gilt incense burner, and the expression of the man above was more and more obscure. Jiang Changyang has always maintained the same posture, his head does not move, his body does not move, his eyes do not move, and even his breathing has never exceeded the frequency, he is still so calm and indifferent. It seems that the emperor asked him to wait for more than an hour, but it is just a blink of an eye.

And Jiang Zhong beside him is different, although his standing posture is still upright, but his forehead has long been soaked with sweat, and his underwear has long been soaked with sweat. It was obviously early summer, but he just felt that it was really cold in this hall, and the wet shirt that was clinging to his back was like a layer of ice, constantly absorbing the heat from his body. He had been standing for a longer time, and more than two hours had passed since he had waited for the summons to see him. It wasn't terrible to wait, but the terrible thing was that he had a ghost in his heart, so he was tormented, and he thought that if the emperor didn't speak again, he probably wouldn't be able to support it anymore.

Just when he was crumbling and gritting his teeth to support himself, the person above finally put down the red pen in his hand and said lightly: "Establish a successor with a long term but not a virtuous one, and establish a noble one without a long one." Don't you understand this? "Although the voice can't hear joy, it won't be happy after all.

Jiang Chong secretly complained, but he added a little hope - if Jiang Changyang took over the Zhuguo Mansion, the people in the city would definitely be many times better than now-at least it would be much better than Jiang Changyi inheriting the title, and his mind would be alive again. As soon as he was late, Jiang Changyang had already knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Returning to the saint, it is the ministers who are incompetent and talented. ”

Jiang Chong sighed secretly, closed his eyes, and knelt down, but he didn't say a word.

The emperor looked at the father with a smile and asked Jiang Changyang: "You are incompetent and talentless, so you don't want to inherit the title?" Would you rather give it to your younger brother? ”

Jiang Changyang said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

The emperor asked Jiang Chong: "You know best your son, and you also think that Da Lang is incompetent and talented?" ”

Jiang Zhong didn't know how to answer. If he answered, he was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, and if he said no, he was blind. was hesitating, just listening to the emperor coldly "Huh? With a sound, then a pair of eyes swept over coldly, and I couldn't help but sweat profusely, cold and hot, ice and fire, I just don't know where I am. In a panic, he could only subconsciously pout his butt and kowtow down heavily, and his upper and lower teeth slammed together.

The emperor looked at him like a clown: "It's a joke that among the staff Shi Lang I personally assigned, he is an incompetent person. ”

Jiang Chong was not stupid in the end, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is incompetent...... "No one is wrong, the wrong person is just him." Despite this, the sweat became more and more, and it continued to pour out along his forehead, and soon the floor tiles in front of him were shiny.

Jiang Changyang looked at him with a frown, raised his voice and said, "Holy Lord, minister, unfilial." ”

The emperor glanced at Jiang Changyang lightly, was silent, and said for a long time: "This is your family matter, since everyone in your family has no opinion, why should I bother this wicked person?" He looked at Jiang Changyang again: "Jiang Dalang, are you sincere?" ”

Jiang Changyang calmly kowtowed: "I hope that the saint will be fulfilled." ”

The emperor didn't say much: "Yes." Retire. He looked dazed, and he didn't want to look at the two of them again.

Jiang Chong and Jiang Changyang kowtowed and saluted and were about to leave, but when they got up, Jiang Chong stumbled and crooked, Jiang Changyang sighed silently, his arm passed under his ribs, and he walked out with him firmly in his arms.

Outside, Jiang Chongcai said with some trepidation: "Da Lang ......" Although this title belongs to Jiang Changyang, but at this moment, he felt that he had failed Jiang Changyang and taken Jiang Changyang from something important.

Jiang Changyang lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, but said, "I'll let someone help you out." ”

"Da Lang......" Jiang Chong wanted to call Da'er, but Jiang Changyang had already walked away without looking back.

In the hall, the emperor steadily picked up the pen again, glanced at the chamberlain who was kneeling on the ground and carefully wiped Jiang Chong's sweat, and said casually: "This father is really interesting." Am I that terrible? ”

Gonggong Shao, who has always been invisible, grinded ink on the side, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, the most interesting person is Jiang Langzhong. The person who dares to speak bluntly to the saint and say that he is not filial, I am afraid that he is the only one in the Manchu Dynasty. ”

The emperor said, "He won't punish him for his crimes." Speaking of which, Jiang Changyang's unfilial piety is really unfilial, and it can be sent anytime and anywhere.

Shao Gonggong's smile became brighter and brighter: "Jiang Langzhong knows the Holy Saint, not to mention ......" He paused slightly, "His temper is like a cow." I'm afraid that even if the Holy God wants to punish his sins, he will also die and refuse to admit it. Has anyone ever seen a Wagyu cow saying that they can't go ahead, and the cow won't go? Even if you have to pull it, it will take some effort. ”

"To the end? Yes, isn't that just Rippy? I'm afraid of those who want a knighthood, and I'm really not afraid of someone who doesn't want a title. The Emperor burst out laughing.

Jiang and his father went out of the palace gate together, one in front of the other, one on the left and one on the right, each back to their respective homes, Jiang Zhong rode on the horse, reluctantly watching Jiang Changyang's back, and finally knocked the horse's belly hard, and the horse returned home without mentioning.

However, he said that Jiang Changyi heard that Jiang Changyang was also announced into the palace, and he couldn't pass the pass when he was the emperor, so he couldn't help but be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But it's not convenient to show it, it's not pleasing to the eye, it's like a year. After walking back and forth countless times, he suddenly stopped, and carefully pulled out a small and delicate porcelain vase from the secret compartment under the desk. There was still some residual powder in the porcelain bottle, and he sniffed, a smile on his lips. The newly acquired thing was originally intended to be used at critical moments, but now, if there are twists and turns in the palace, he will not be able to use this thing to do something.

"Squeak", Xiao Xuexi walked in with her stomach on her hand, her face full of unhappiness: "It's been so long, do you think there will be any mess......

Jiang Changyi glanced at her unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of mess can there be?" ”

"Come, come......" Cailian, who thought about it dignified and steady, ran in happily, bowed to the two of them and bowed: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the lady!" ”

Oops...... Xiao Xuexi and Jiang Changyi glanced at each other, and they both saw a big smile on each other's faces. Jiang Changyi was the one who had been bowing his head for many years, and he quickly stabilized and said with a smile: "What are you calling nonsense?" Beware of being heard as a joke. ”

Cai Lian smiled: "Don't be afraid." Grandpa Guo is back, but the saint is allowed! Invite the Lord and Mrs. to go to the old lady's room to talk. ”

Xiao Xuexi hurriedly looked at the outfit on her body, and felt that this half-worn home-style skirt was really not suitable for this happy day, so she hurriedly said, "Wait for me to change my clothes." ”

Jiang Changyi grabbed her: "What to change!" Make people laugh! Just go over here. Honor and disgrace are not shocked, didn't your parents teach you? ”

Xiao Xuexi held her breath...... The daughter of the family next to her, everyone says that tutoring is the first, no one is wrong, but Jiang Changyi's favorite thing to say is, has no one taught you in your family? It's infuriating. But what he said today was right, so be it.

As soon as the two of them received the attention, they felt very good, and when they arrived in the room lightly, Jiang Zhong said: "I invited someone to watch the sun, and then I invited the elders of the sect to open the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the ancestors." ”

Mrs. Du said lightly: "You don't need to ask someone to see it, the day after tomorrow is a good day, when the time comes, it is best to remember to tell me what you promised me in front of the sect elders, and ask everyone to be a witness." Then he put his eyes on Xiao Xuexi's belly, and his expression was extremely focused.

Xiao Xuexi couldn't help but put her hand on her belly, but in a blink of an eye, she felt that this child was a blessed one, so she proudly straightened her belly. Mrs. Du noticed her small movements, and a smile appeared on her lips: "The child is six months old, right?" That's fast. ”

Xiao Xuexi nodded proudly. Mrs. Du turned her face sideways, and her smile deepened.

On the day of the sacrifice, God seemed to feel the good mood of everyone, the sun was shining, early in the morning, the Guogong Mansion was very lively, including Mrs. Du, everyone changed into gorgeous new clothes. Jiang Chong was even more meticulously dressed, and talked to the elders with a smile: "Da Lang has an important errand, so he won't come." ”

The affairs of the Guogong Mansion, everyone is counted, and now this title is about to fall on a little-known concubine, no one does not sigh secretly, but no one is so blind, if they have to take care of other people's housework, they are all enthusiastic around the new Jiang Changyi to say some compliments.

Jiang Changyi looked at the spiritual positions of the ancestors of the Jiang family in the ancestral hall, and felt a strong sense of unreality and unsteadiness. This felt that he had only had it in a dream, and subconsciously, he glanced back at Mrs. Du, who looked solemn and brightly dressed, and didn't look like she would make trouble. He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you get through this first, you can talk about it later.

"The auspicious time has come." Someone reminded me.

When the people arrived, Jiang Zhong hurriedly collected his expression, and was about to start, when he heard Mrs. Du suddenly cry loudly: "Zhong'er! Zhong'er! My poor loyalty! You died a terrible death! Die without a blink of sight...... But the one who killed you has taken everything from you, and here you look like a dog to take the title! ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at Mrs. Du one after another. I saw Mrs. Du brush and brush the gorgeous gold cloak on her body, revealing the plain white robe inside, and struggled to rush forward: "Ancestors and ancestors, open your eyes!" Can animals that mutilate their siblings, are rebellious, unkind, and unjust, and are not allowed by heaven to inherit the family business? ”

"What nonsense! Invite Madame down! Jiang Chong's face changed greatly, a trace of hideousness flashed on Jiang Changyi's face, and when he saw someone rushing towards Mrs. Du, he covered his face and cried.
