Chapter 398: Return to the Imperial Capital
Although it is said that the Lu family has been confirmed to be the culprit of the smallpox incident, if it is followed by the sudden death of Jian Pingyu's father and son, and Jian Xubai's succession, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the matter of succession was only announced by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom who came forward to communicate with her daughter-in-law, and did not announce it to the public for the time being.
At the end of July, Jian Xubai and Jian Qingyue finally got rid of the scabs and recovered as before, and this matter began to operate-
The introduction is that Jian Pingyu learned that his young grandson and great-granddaughter were infected with smallpox, and sent someone to visit.
However, because Sangzi was far away from the imperial capital, when the people sent arrived at Cuihua Mountain, it was forbidden to enter and leave the mountain to prevent the spread of smallpox. The messenger could only wait at the foot of the mountain, and when the father and daughter of the Jian family were ready, the other courtyard should be burned and buried, and after taking care of the seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight after the unanimous judgment of the imperial doctors, he could return to normal, and he could go up the mountain to ask An and convey Jian Pingyu's concerns.
Jian Xubai, who was able to recover, personally received the messenger - the messenger lingered for two days, and he was afraid that Jian Pingyu would be worried, so he hurried back to report the news.
After half a month, at this time, the summer vacation was over, the monarch returned to the imperial capital, and prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Longevity Festival.
The next day, there was news in the eldest princess's mansion, saying that Jian Pingyu, the old Yan Guogong, wanted to pass the youngest son of the second room, Yan Guogong Jian, to the third son, Jian Limiao.
The reason, of course, is that Jian Li Miao has no children, and he is also middle-aged, so he can't rest assured that he is a father. I want to solve this problem for my son while he is still alive.
It's just that although there are only two male heirs in the second room of the Jian family, they live in the big house of Sangzi with Jian Pingyu, but their descendants are prosperous - it is said that if you want to succeed, you should first choose from the big house.
Especially Jian Xubai also inherited the knight, although he is said to have passed to Jian Limiao's knees, and is still Jian Pingyu's grandson, but in the examples of succession, the heirs of the heirs are not moving.
Combined with Jian Likuang's two sons, Jian Xubai is not the kind of sloppy. Pool. The child who is hated by people, but Jian Likuang just doesn't like him - on the contrary, Jian Limiao has always treated this nephew as his own son, and Jian Likuang's current wife, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, is openly raising a man in the house. Pet face. First, even put private. Bear. The female Nie dance cherry blossoms are all raised under their knees, and they love like treasures.
It is inevitable that some people will think that maybe Jian Xubai is not Jian Likuang's son at all, but Jian Limiao's blood and bones?
Otherwise, there are so many children and grandchildren in the Jian family's big house, with Jian Limiao's current status and family property, the big house should not be too willing to pass on his children and grandchildren to him!
Why choose simplicity and whiteness?
But such rumors only appeared, and the words of Old Lady Duanmu extinguished such speculation.
The old lady said this: "When Yishui died a few years ago, and Li Miao could not continue the string, in order to persuade him, I wrote to my brother-in-law and talked about this problem. At that time, the brother-in-law said that he was very much in favor of Limiao's promise, and as for the heirs, he would pass on Likuang's second son to Limiao in the future - then I would think that Likuang only had two sons under his knees, and it was not as prosperous as the Jian's big house. However, what my brother-in-law said also makes sense: my brother-in-law was from a poor family and was honest when he was an official, so in addition to the title, he has never saved any belongings in his life, and the property of the Jian family is probably the marriage of my hard-working sister. According to the rules, only her bloodline is eligible to inherit these inheritances. β
And the big house of the Jian family is a concubine, not Mrs. Yan Guotai's own birth, if Jian Limiao passes the heir from the big house, it is equivalent to passing on Mrs. Yan Guotai's dowry to an irrelevant person - this is undoubtedly unfair to Mrs. Yan Guotai's biological bloodline.
After all, this is not a small amount of money, and the splendid hall has accumulated over the years, and it has been cut off because of the lack of heirs.
By the time of Mrs. Duanmu's generation, their parents were only two of their sisters.
Even if Mrs. Yan Guotai angered her parents because of her choice of marriage, causing her not to get too many things, it was a lot in the eyes of ordinary people - not to mention that Jian Limiao was raised by her aunt Mrs. Duanmu, and she also married Mrs. Duanmu's only biological flesh and blood lord who lived to adulthood.
When Mrs. Duanmu prepared a dowry for her daughter, would she be stingy?
In this way, the objects in Jian Limiao's hand that were passed down from the Splendid Hall are probably more than his brother Jian Likuang!
And he has no son, and he will definitely pass it on to his heirs in the future - his half-brother Jian Likuang is not without a superfluous son to inherit him, why should he abandon his relatives and go to the big house to pick an heir?
"As for saying that Jian Si's cousin and Jian San's uncle are actually father and son, this speculation is even more ridiculous!" Xie Yiren played with the glass cup in his hand, sneered and said, "Who doesn't know that Third Uncle Jian has a deep love for the county lord of Yishui, the county lord has been dead for so many years, and the third uncle doesn't even have a maid to rely on!" Moreover, Aunt Jin Guo and Third Uncle Jian usually don't meet each other at all, so if they have something to do with each other, then there will be no innocent uncle and sister-in-law in the world! β
Xie Yiren is fatter than before the summer, but her complexion is very good-too, she is looking forward to the heirs as if she is looking forward to something, this will finally come true, how can she not feel that the sky is extraordinarily blue, the grass is extraordinarily green, and the world is extraordinarily beautiful?
She came to visit Song Yixiao's mother and daughter today and confessed her guilt, because at the meeting in Cuihua Mountain, if she hadn't finally become pregnant, for fear of something missing, she invited Aunt Yun to accompany her in three days, and Aunt Yun guarded Jian Qingyue as usual, maybe she would have discovered the traces of smallpox a long time ago, and it would not involve Jian Xubai and so many people.
Not to mention tearing the two princes in the palace into the water!
However, Song Yixiao didn't blame her, she knew too well how much pressure a woman would bear after she left the cabinet in the past few years, she was trapped by this kind of pressure in both lives.
What's more, when Xie Yiren invited Aunt Yun, he didn't expect that someone would attack Jian Qingyue.
In the final analysis, Lu Ningye harmed her daughter under her nose, and she, as a mother, blames her daughter for being too distant from her cousin, so she should be blamed.
The relationship between the two was good, and this time Jian Xubai father and daughter also came over without danger, so they quickly talked about it.
Xie Yiren then talked about some whispers in the current imperial capital, and he was very upset with the Yanguo Mansion, "As for saying that when Jian Si's cousin was very young, Jian San's uncle was very fond of him and treated him as his own - Lao Guogong had already personally promised to pass on Jian Si's cousin to him, so of course he would treat Jian Si's cousin as a son in advance!" After all, according to the agreement between the old prince and the old lady Duanmu, the fourth cousin of Jian will call Uncle Jian 'Daddy' sooner or later, right? β
ββWhen Mrs. Duanmu said that Jian Xubai was born, her brother-in-law Jian Pingyu said that she would pass on Jian Xubai to Jian Limiao in the future, and many people thought that they understood why Jian Xuubai didn't like Jian Xubai.
After all, this son skipped his generation and inherited the title, but he will inherit it to Jian Limiao in the future, so what are he and his eldest son Jian Yi? !
It's just that Jian Yiyu had attempted to kill his younger brother, which was also quietly revealed, and everyone could only sigh that Jian was unlucky and had no fate with the Duke of Yanguo.
"What about them?" Song Yixiao didn't care much about these rumors, her mother-in-law, oh, she couldn't call her mother-in-law soon, in short, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and Jian Limiao, the two suspected uncles and sisters-in-law. Rape is not afraid, what does she care about a junior?
Anyway, she will hate Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang to the core, I wish they would end as miserable as possible, if Jian Xubai was really born to the eldest princess and Jian Limiao, thinking about Jian Likuang's current mood, she still feels happier!
Hearing this, he smiled, "No one dares to say it in front of us, but it's just muttering in private!" Speaking of those who have long tongues, when have they shut up? β
Xie Yiren saw that she really didn't care much about this matter, so he didn't say anything, and only smiled: "I'm relieved to see that you don't bother!" β
turned to her to talk about her sister - the little Miss Xie Jiaqi, who was favored by Empress Wei and had once overpowered the two princesses before, "She has been enthusiastic about learning to play a game recently, but she has no patience to listen to others, so she has to start by herself after a casual look." My mother thinks that there is no such thing in the horizontal and vertical, and she should be replaced by a quiet meeting, so as not to make a headache for a room of people! Who knew that the things she typed out were obviously unsightly, and she had to say yes with a bad conscience! If she says yes, she will give it away, and she doesn't care if people look up to it or not! β
Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and asked someone to fetch a pair of beads, "No, yesterday she went to Yipingbo's Mansion with my mother to see me, and took advantage of my mother's talk to me to make a pair, saying that she heard that I was going to see you today, and I specially gave it to Qingyue - I told her at the time, Qingyue is a beautiful little beauty, how can she bear to use such a thing to spoil Qingyue?" β
"Sister-in-law, you've wronged your sister too much!" Song Yixiao took a look at it in her hand, it was indeed a little girl's craftsmanship, loose here and tight there, it could be seen that Xie Jiaqi really wanted to make it well, but the technique was not up to par, and the heart was more than enough but not enough - except for the good color of the beads on the whole string, there was really nothing to praise.
But after all, it was the heart, Song Yixiao naturally wanted to praise a few words, "When we just learned this, it was not as good as her!" β
Xie Yiren smiled: "You are giving me face." β
"I'm thinking of your sister, but I'm not giving you face!" Song Yi smiled and said with a smile, and ordered someone to bring in Jian Qingyue, who was chasing butterflies in the courtyard, and tied it to her on the spot, "This is what your Aunt Jiaqi gave you, in the future, when you grow up and make things, don't forget your Aunt Jiaqi!" β
She thought that her daughter was so big, she might not know whether it was good or bad - how did she know that Jian Qingyue was not easy to fool, stared at the Luo Zi for a while, and pouted: "It's not good-looking!" β
"Xinhe, you are still young, I don't know what is good-looking, my mother told you, this is very good-looking!" Song Yixiao felt embarrassed when she heard this, and hurriedly picked her up and coaxed her.
"It's not pretty!"
"Look at this bead, bright, red, you look at this flower, this line, why is it not beautiful?" Song Yixiao continued to coax, "You don't understand, you have to listen to your mother!" β
"It's not good-looking!!" Helplessly, Jian Qingyue was very persistent, and reached out to pull her jade pendant, "Mother, change!" β
"Haha!" Xie Yiren didn't mean to be wronged for his sister at all, but was very happy, "I have to tell Jiaqi about this when I go back - even a three-year-old child knows what happened to her craft!" After seeing her, she still has the face to force me to wear something she made to go out! β
gave Song Yi a smile and mended the knife, "You are still your own mother, fooling your own daughter like this!" Thanks to our little Qingyue's cleverness, I won't be fooled by you! Otherwise, if you teach you to think that Jiaqi is good-looking, she will dress up when she grows up in the future, you will be worried! β
"When I saw Sister Jiaqi when I went back, I must tell her, in fact, cousin, you don't like her craftsmanship too much!" Song Yi glanced at her with a smile and retorted, "It's just that my cousin-in-law is used to duplicity, disgusted in her mouth, and happy in her heart!" In the future, ask Sister Jiaqi to make you a body, so that you can wear it out every day! β
"Then I'm not going out!" Xie Yiren immediately said, "Otherwise, how can you see people?" β
Both of them laughed as they spoke: "Jiaqi wants to know that we have arranged her like this behind our backs, and I don't know if she will jump to her feet?" β
