Chapter 303: The Clouds Disperse (Finale)
Shen Muqing was stunned.
Tongyuansheng's business is no matter how good it is. It is impossible to repay the money with interest in a year.
"I've already sold Tongshengyuan out." Wang Wenhui, who saw Shen Muqing's suspicions, explained with a smile, "I will send a steward to stay in Kyoto for a period of time to settle Tongyuansheng's unsettled accounts." β
"Go in such a hurry!" Shen Muqing was a little surprised, thinking of Aunt Liu, he said vaguely, "That'...... Do you want to bring someone with you? β
Wang Wenhui covered her sleeves and smiled: "I wanted to take my aunt with me, but my aunt didn't want to." said that she had served the old lady all her life, and she couldn't leave when the old lady was so angry that she was paralyzed in bed by her children and grandchildren. If you want to leave, you have to wait for the old lady to talk about it a hundred years later. β
"But she stayed in the Liang family like this, but I was afraid that life would be difficult at that time."
"There's no way around it." Wang Wenhui smiled bitterly, "When the word 'filial piety' is pressed down, the Xianggong doesn't dare to say anything." Maybe it's fate! When I walked out of the Liang family, how could I have thought that I would fall into such a situation. β
How could a person as smart as Wang Wenhui not know that Liang Bo had accepted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, and the marriage event had to be reported by the Zongren Mansion...... Now it seems that she just wanted to force Feng and Liang Bogong to bow their heads? It's just that I didn't expect Liang Bogong to argue for himself without saying a word...... I didn't expect to be held by Yushi!
Shen Muqing sighed.
Wang Wenhui stood up with a smile: "I'm going to leave after the New Year, and there are still a lot of bits and pieces to deal with at home, so I'll leave first." β
Shen Muqing sent Wang Wenhui and was stopped by Wang Wenhui: "...... You haven't been out for three months yet, be careful. "Hesitate for a moment. took off a pair of jade jade bracelets from his wrists, "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future, and this will be regarded as a full moon gift from me in advance." β
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say. After a while, he said: "Guangxi is a barbaric land, you have to be careful in everything!" β
Wang Wenhui smiled and nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.
Shen Muqing thought of himself and Xiao Sa when he was in Shanghai, and couldn't help but look at her back and sigh.
"Grandma, I didn't expect thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong." Ying Fan helped her back to the house, "Maybe Mrs. Hou will come back after a while?" β
It's easier said than done.
But this is the Liang family's business, and it has nothing to do with her.
Shen Muqing shook off these unhappy things and changed the topic with a smile: "Why does the imperial court want the opening of the third year of the first year?" Is it because the emperor doesn't have to go to Yue's house? Let's wait for the two pillars of incense, and if the master hasn't come back yet, we'll go back firstβwait for him to get out of the ya. β
Ying smiled: "I look at my grandfather like that in the morning, looking at you with my eyes open, I'm afraid I want you to say, 'I'll take the child to the petrochemical bridge first'...... But you pretend to be deaf and dumb and go around. Yes, there is no way around it! β
"Why does he want me to take the child back to Shihua Bridge first, he thinks I won't go back this year." Shen Muqing thought of Xiao Sa's constant nagging in his ear last night about what children are still young and can't stand bumps and the like.
"Ye is also for your good!" At this time, of course, Ying Fan couldn't speak to Shen Muqing. "The old lady will be happy if she knows, and she won't blame you for not returning to her parents' house."
Shen Muqing didn't plan to go back. But he didn't spare Xiao Sa: "Then he has to behave better...... I have to wait until the third year of junior high school to pay New Year's greetings to the lord before making plans, what are I going to do early! β
was complaining, and the eldest lady brought Yue Ying and Ziyang over.
The two children were dressed up, and their pink little faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
"Mother, mother. When are we going to my uncle's house. Zi Yang stretched out his arm and rushed towards Shen Muqing.
The eldest lady quickly hugged Ziyang, who was running towards Shen Muqing, in her arms: "Good boy, your mother can't stand the collision now." β
Ziyang didn't know why, he looked at Shen Muqing, and then at the eldest wife.
Yueying was also full of confusion: "Mother, are you sick?" β
Shen Muqing was a little embarrassed, snorted a few vaguely, and hurriedly smiled at the eldest lady: "It's cold outside, you go to the house to rest!" β
The eldest lady smiled and carried Ziyang into the house.
A little maid rushed in: "Big lady, grandma, Mother Tian of the Shen family came to greet you!" β
At this time? Could it be that he and Xiao Sa haven't gone yet, so they are here?
Shen Muqing asked Tian's mother to come in.
After inviting Shen Muqing and the eldest wife, Yueying, and Ziyang, Tian's mother smiled: "The old lady specially asked me to talk about it." said that if the printing is opened today, my uncle may not have time to pass. Just send the girl and the young master over. β
"The in-laws are really considerate." The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, "But the more this is the case, the more you can't lose your manners." She said to Shen Muqing, "You still take the child over first, don't take the carriage, just take the sedan chair." I asked people to wait for Sa'er at Donghua Gate - as soon as he came out, he went to Shihua Bridge. β
"No, no." Mother Tian looked at Shen Muqing and smiled a little, "My uncle asked people to report to the house early yesterday morning...... The lord said, let you have a good rest. When it's time to go with you to put incense on your wife. β
This Xiao Sa is spreading news everywhere......
Shen Muqing couldn't help but be angry: "Who else doesn't know?" β
The eldest lady laughed: "The emperor shouldn't know!" β
Everyone laughed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiao Sa was kneeling on the Golden Palace in sweat to thank him.
So in the evening, in order to hide her weakness, Xiao Sa told Shen Muqing something she would pay attention to.
Liang Bogong resigned from the title of Marquis of Dingyuan in the name of his "thin talent and shallow learning", and asked to be transferred to the Qianhu Office of Hechi, Guangxi, and recommended his younger brother Liang Shuxin to inherit the Marquis of Dingyuan.
"So fast!" Shen Muqing was very surprised, and told Xiao Sa about Wang Wenhui's visit, "She said she was in a hurry, I thought it would be a few days!" So what is the emperor's reaction? β
"So you know!" Xiao Sa smiled and said, "The emperor immediately approved Liang Bogong's excerpt. At this point, he hesitated for a moment, "However, the matter about Uncle Liang's letter to the Lord has not been released." β
"What does that mean?"
"I'm not sure!" Xiao Sa had a little reservation in his words, "If you want to know, I'll help you inquire." See what is the emperor's attitude? β
"Forget it!" Shen Muqing smiled, "This is someone else's business, let's just listen to it!" It's not early, let's go to sleep! β
Xiao Sa got through the crisis of being questioned by his wife, and he immediately became relaxed and touched Shen Muqing's stomach: "Are you naughty today?" β
"It's early!" Shen Muqing covered his mouth and smiled, and the couple slept without mentioning it.
******
After some time, the words of the emperor in the Golden Palace came out. In March, when Dashe and the girl of the Min family made a big decision, everyone laughed at Shen Muqing's abdomen and shouted "princess" or "general", so that when Shen Muqing went to incense the Li family, he couldn't help but hope that his mother would bless him to give birth to a son...... It's better to be a general than to be a daughter-in-law to Wang Guifei!
"Don't worry." Xiao Sa smiled, "Things always change...... Even if what the emperor said is true, we can use excuses such as disagreement to disagree! β
Shen Muqing didn't have such open-mindedness as Xiao Sa, and couldn't help complaining: "What does the emperor mean?" Afraid that the relationship between the third prince and the crown prince is not good? Even so. We don't have to pull our house into the water! set up the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, others don't know, he himself doesn't know! Is it because there is no way to explain to the concubine? β
Xiao Sa had no choice but to change the topic and ask Shen Muqing to stop thinking nonsense: "Xiao Cheng is here to find the eldest master!" β
The eldest lord came to Kyoto at the end of February, and lived in the house in Xishan with the eldest wife.
Shen Muqing was really diverted: "Why is it this time?" β
"For Xiaoshan's business!" Xiao Sa didn't care, "Xiao Shan was beaten." β
"Beaten?" Shen Muqing's eyes widened, "What's going on now?" β
"It's just that I was beaten a few times, and there are a few bruises on my body."
Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief: "How could he be beaten?" β
"Not really!" Xiao Sa smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, Xiao Shan was cultivated as the leader of the Cao Gang...... I was beaten a few times, and this beating is really not simple! β
Shen Muqing was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that someone intends to attack Xiao Shan? Or did Xiao Cheng tell a lie? β
Xiao Sa avoided answering and said, "The eldest master will leave for Zhenjiang with Xiao Cheng tomorrow...... Everyone spoke clearly face to face. β
"It's okay," Shen Muqing nodded, "It's always dragging on like this, it's not a matter in the end!" β
She paid special attention to the news from Zhenjiang Mansion.
A few days later, Shen Muqing learned about the movement over there from Pang Debao's mouth.
After Xiao Zhao and Cha Xiu met, Cha Xiu pulled Xiao Zhao's sleeve and asked him pitifully: "Is it for the sake of the Seventh Master's face, the old lady forced you to do this?"
"What I didn't do 30 years ago, I won't do 30 years later." Xiao Zhao's answer was very simple, "One day husband and wife for a hundred days, not to mention that you gave birth to children for me." Served me for so many years...... You can go back to Xiao's house with me! β
Looking at Xiao Zhao, who had resolute eyes, thinking of Xiao Zhao's excitement when he knew that the Zheng family had agreed to the marriage, thinking of the old lady's hatred for her, and thinking of her dedication over the years, her heart gradually cooled, leaving tears of grievance: "I won't go back to the Xiao family...... If you force me to go back like this, I will not give in. β
Xiao Zhao specially wrote a letter to the eldest lady and asked the eldest lady: "...... Who won and who lost the original bet? β
The eldest lady didn't know if she replied well, so she delayed it for a few days, so she called Shen Muqing to discuss.
How could Shen Muqing call the shots. I had to say vaguely: "Just reply to the eldest master as you think of it!" We are juniors, we only hope you are good! β
The eldest lady thought about it for a few more days, and then wrote back to Xiao Zhao.
As for what the letter was, Shen Muqing didn't know, but he knew the result - after Xiao Zhao came back, he and his eldest wife set up another house next to their house in Xishan.
However, later Shen Muqing heard that Xiao Cheng saw Xiao Zhao's firm attitude and asked his wife to persuade his mother.
"Even if the Xiao family forces you, what else can we do? Xiao Shan was exiled...... Countless exiles have died in exile, and even if they report to the officials, the court will not seriously investigate them. For the sake of the children, bear with me! And when you return to the Xiao family, your father knows that you have been wronged, and maybe he will feel more sorry for you. When the time comes, I won't be embarrassed for you! β
"What do you know!" Cha Xiu looked at her daughter-in-law coldly, "Old lady Xiao has always felt that Xiao Zhao is here today, and it's all because of me. As long as I return to the Xiao family as an aunt, he will be able to put me to death. Xiao Zhao didn't understand this truth, and forced me to go back to Xiao's house, where is there still a little bit of husband and wife affection. β
Cheng Da * Milk looked at the eyebrows and no longer Ying Ying cowardice, full of shrewd calculations, and couldn't help but shudder.
After so many years, who has seen her face clearly?
"So what do we do?" She couldn't help but mutter.
"What to do!" Cha Xiu smiled gently, "Since you are my children, you are also the children of his Xiao Zhao...... As long as he promises to give me one million taels of silver, I will let him go and let him and Zheng Yuerong live together. Her voice gradually became low, "Want to leave our family away like this, what does he think is beautiful?" Now, it's up to us to hold out longer. This kind of thing has not happened before...... When we meet on a narrow road, it has always been the brave who wins! β
I don't know why, Cheng Da * Milk remembered a very famous Xing case.
It is said that there are two women fighting for children, one pulling the left and the other pulling the right. I didn't want to let go, and the child only screamed in pain. The county order also added fuel to the fire, saying that whoever wins the son will belong to whomever he wants. A woman couldn't bear it and let go first. The county magistrate argued the child to the woman who let go first, saying that only a real mother would take care of the child's pain and itch in front of interests.
They are now the children who were pulled......
Who's going to let it go first?
Cheng Da * milk does not know.
At least not the beautiful woman in front of her with a sharp glint in her eyes.
She doesn't have the consciousness to be a mother, but she has a big * milk ...... She has children of her own to take care of and needs to protect her future.
Therefore, Cheng Da * milk muttered beside Xiao Cheng's pillow in her own way.
His mother's stubbornness, Xiao Shan's situation, and his wife's muttering made Xiao Cheng's mood gradually change.
So when Xiao Zhao called his sons and daughters-in-law to ask them: "Do you follow me back to Lincheng, or follow your mother to live in Guangdong", the sons bowed their heads and expressed their willingness to follow their father back to Lincheng.
Cha Xiu didn't expect the result to be like this...... jumped up and slapped Xiao Cheng: "You wolf cub, I raised you for nothing......"
Xiao Zhao immediately pulled the tea show away, let a few powerful mothers-in-law take care of it, and after a few days, when the ship came, he sent the tea show to Guangdong. He also asked a steward to stay in Yangzhou to take charge of the return of Xiao Cheng's brothers to Lincheng, and he rushed back to Kyoto - it was Shen Muqing's birth date soon, and the question of whether it was a man or a woman became very sensitive, and he couldn't help but care.
On a sunny day in mid-August, Shen Muqing gave birth to her second son at noon.
Xiao and Shen both breathed a sigh of relief.
This son hurriedly named Xiao Zicong and reported to the Ministry of Officials, and two hours later was named the hereditary commander of the fourth grade.
Because of this shady seal, the Xiao family once again stood on the cusp.
But this much-anticipated uncomfortable Xiao couple did not last long, and the people of Kyoto were diverted by another news.
In mid-September, the emperor decreed: the eldest son of the heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan is not virtuous, the second son is incompetent, and the third son is misbehaved. Take the knighthood. The deadline is three days, and the like moves out of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in Nanxunfang.
That night, Mrs. Liang passed away.
The Internal Affairs Department didn't talk about it at all, and on the third day, it still came to urge everyone in the Liang Mansion to move out, and the housekeepers and mothers saw that the situation was not right, and they took advantage of the night to roll up their things and escape. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Shuangrui had no choice but to come forward to ask the teacher Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu came forward to intercede with the Liang family, and the Internal Affairs Yuan agreed to wait for the old lady to pass the "first seven" before moving.
Another fall of a family......
Shen Muqing sighed as he listened.
Liang Youhui came to visit suddenly.
Speaking of which, they hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years.
It seems that the years have stayed in her body, and she is still the same old look.
ββ¦β¦ Good sister, you can help our family! She pulled Shen Muqing's sleeve and begged bitterly, "Now that Lord Xiao is in a high position of power, he said ten words to Lord Yuan, you let Lord Xiao help our family intercede!" Let the emperor return the title to our family. That way, my mother won't be so angry that she will fall ill. β
Shen Muqing had no choice but to coax her with something delicious.
She didn't eat anything, and blindly begged Shen Muqing: "I think I helped you at the beginning!" β
In the flint lightning, Shen Muqing suddenly understood.
She left Youhui and hurried back to the house, and took the sweat towel rewarded by the prince to Yingfen: "Take a look, do you have any impression?" β
Ying Fan looked at it for a long time and said, "It seems that I embroidered it...... When Aunt Du left, she seemed to take out the silver wrapped! β
That's right.
It was rumored that the queen borrowed her womb to give birth to a child...... So how did this sweat towel get into the hands of the prince?
The less you know about this royal secret, the better!
Shen Muqing sighed, and Youhui had already chased to the inner room: "Good sister, you must help me." I can't find anyone but you! β
As he spoke, Wei came.
She looked at Shen Muqingfu with an apologetic face: "My little sister-in-law is not sensible, sister don't take it to heart!" He pulled Youhui again, "Brother Thirteen can't find you anywhere, I'm so anxious!" β
Youhui hesitated: "But my mother ......"
"Didn't your uncle agree to help?" Wei Shi hurriedly said, "You are intruding like this, be careful that your uncle thinks that you rely on Lord Xiao wholeheartedly and will not help you!" β
"No, no." Youhui shook her hand again and again, and Wei took the opportunity to take her away.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but follow from a distance.
Seeing Wei Shisan waiting at the second gate, when he saw Youhui coming out, he stepped forward and took her hand and talked to her with a gentle face.
Shen Muqing put his mind at ease.
There is finally a happy person in this family......
Before her sigh dissipated, there was another news from the Liang family: Princess Fuhua married Liang Shuxin's eldest daughter Guijie for her son a hundred days before the old lady.
Your sister is only eight or nine years old......
Princess Fuhua does this, the meaning of poverty is greater than the essence of marriage!
Shen Muqing prepared a big gift and sent it, but did not go to drink the wedding wine.
At that time, she was weaning Zicong, looking for an enlightened teacher for Ziyang, worrying about Yueying jumping on the roof at every turn, and not worrying about Brother Bao coming to report every day......
Until one day, someone in Kyoto is telling a new joke.
Originally, the third master of the Liang Mansion had been idle at home since he was impeached and lost his official position by the imperial history, and often went out to drink alcohol, and the third wife of the Liang family took the opportunity to sell a house next to her husband who had not given birth. And that room is also very interesting. didn't cry or make trouble, packed up his things, sneered at the third wife of the Liang family a few times, said "Don't regret it in the future", turned around and followed others. When Liang Sanye came back, he didn't know where to go for a long time. Liang Sanye was furious and threatened to divorce his wife. Mrs. Liang San is not easy to mess with, not only beat her husband, but also sued Yin Tianfu Yin first, saying that her husband spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and demanded righteousness......
Things went on for more than half a year, and in the end, the third master and the third wife of the Liang family still went their separate ways.
As for that room, no one knows where it went.
In front of the Confucius Temple in Kyoto, there is a down-and-out man who makes a living by selling calligraphy and paintings......
(Although I am reluctant, but now that the story is told, it is time to say goodbye to everyone!) Thank you all for being with us along the way, and thank you for your continued encouragement, support and tolerance...... o(n_n)o haha~...... So when the new article is opened on the 28th, everyone should also come to cheer! οΌ
