Chapter 69: Accompanying the Emperor's Mausoleum
At this time, there are two kinds of divorce, peaceful breakup and divorce; The righteousness of not breaking up peacefully - it can be seen from the literal face that the former may be divorced and everyone can still be friends, and there may be a few words of blessing written on the wife release book; Latter? If you get divorced and bump into each other again, if you don't cut each other a few times, it will be gentle and polite!
Therefore, righteousness is not to say that it will be absolutely absolute, and if there is no reason to do so, even if public opinion is not considered, it is impossible for the government to agree.
This is also Ruan Qingyan's ultimate goal - in the final analysis, he is not at ease with the other party's family, just because Fang Zijun is only six years old, he is scheming and does not look like a child at all, it can be seen what the Fang family's tutors are!
If Ruan Ciyi is just allowed to reconcile with Fang Nongyan, and the two families do not officially break up, God knows if the Fang family will use any means to continue to entangle?
Isn't it an example now-Ruan Qingyan just spent a lot of money to get Fang Nongyan and his wife back to Beijing, Tai Shiling sent someone to run errands, and Fang Nongyan sold his brother-in-law who contributed money and effort for him!
This kind of brother-in-law, Ruan Qingyan doesn't want to give him any chance to step on the Ruan family and climb up!
The statement about Ruan and Fang Yijue was passed without too much heated discussion - mainly because the nobleladies who were shocked by Ruan Ciyi's shocking scars spread the word from ten to hundred, and in the end, the rumor had become that Fang Nongyan's favorite concubine killed his wife to the point of making Ruan Ciyi an adult......
This kind of crazy wolf husband, even if it is the Queen Mother's side, many people can't stand it.
After all, who doesn't have a daughter? If you don't have a daughter, you can have nieces and granddaughters!
Now they are wading through the troubled waters of party fighting, in case they lose, their children and grandchildren will not be able to escape, and the woman who marries out will not be affected by her mother's family according to the law, if she also meets an ungrateful and ruthless son-in-law like Fang Nongyan...... It's a mouthful of blood to think about!
Therefore, Ruan and Fang Yi are absolutely righteous, and there is no need for Ruan Qingyan to go to the table again, Xue Chang's proposal that Fang Nongyan, a ruthless, unjust, incorruptible, and shameless person not to kill is not enough to be indignant to the people, and immediately pass with an absolute advantage!
The speed with which this matter was handled fully showed Xue Chang's efficiency in becoming serious - Fang Nongyan was sentenced to behead after the autumn, and Fang's family was raided...... This is the seventh day of the Ruan family's suspension!
"It seems that it is impossible to get back all the dowry of the eldest cousin." The love of the divorce law at this time is that no matter how the divorce is, anyway, the dowry has to be returned to the woman, and the husband's family has to pay for three years of brocade clothes and food - but Ruan Ciyi's dowry was sold in the early years when the couple were demoted, and a lot of expenses for the supply of the family were sold, after all, Fang Nongyan was born in a peasant family, and she can't compare with Ruan Ciyi in terms of heritage and savings.
Now that the entire Fang family has been copied and returned to Ruan Ciyi, it is still insufficient.
However, neither Ruan Qingyan nor Qiu Yulan cared very much about this, "Fortunately, the eldest cousin is free now-go back and give my property to the eldest cousin, and then find her a good family when she is filial, right?" β
Qiu Yulan, who was sitting on the embroidery stool, put down the list and swayed his feet to Ruan Qingyan. After Qiu Mengmin used the property of the palace to offset the dowry of Concubine Lian and Princess Ruan, she also successfully entered the ranks of local tyrants.
"What feet!" Ruan Qingyan reprimanded her first, "Everyone should have good manners!" β
Waiting for Qiu Yulan to put on a dignified posture aggrievedly, he said, "You don't have to worry about this, you can use the things you have for yourself, and I will make up for her here big sister." β
"How much money do you have?" Qiu Yulan has been asking this question for a long time - why does this cousin always look like "the problem that money can solve, it is not a problem"? How tyrant is his adoptive father?
Ruan Qingyan pondered for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, you sisters can't be wronged!" β
Qiu Yulan sighed: "Don't tell me!" β
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, big sister, I'll take you to Laizhou, you ......" Ruan Qingyan didn't finish speaking, he saw Qiu Yulan covering his ears with his hands, and shouted in pain: "I beg you!" Don't talk about me anymore, let me take care of myself or something, okay? I really, really know!! β
Ruan Qingyan glared at her: "Then I'll say the last two sentences: take care!" Don't see the river cliff frost! β
β¦β¦ Early the next morning, Qiu Yulan reluctantly said goodbye to Ruan Qingyan and Ruan Ciyi, and watched Fuling's team slowly leave, she waved her hand while shedding tears, and wrote "I really, really don't want to be separated from you" from head to toe.
However, as soon as the team disappeared, she immediately became energetic, stroked her chest and sighed: "It's gone!" β
Yesterday, he said "say the last two sentences", but as a result, just now, Ruan Qingyan told him at least eighty times! The cousin of this kind of Xianglin sister-in-law route is really unbearable......
"You want your cousin to leave so much, and if you turn around and tell your cousin to know, you will definitely not be spared!" Su He pursed the corners of his lips, "Besides, after your cousin left, you didn't have a personal discussion about things, what is there to be happy about?" β
"Who said that?" Qiu Yulan immediately fought back, "You're not human?!" β
Su Aiqi said: "We are subordinates!" Besides, can our knowledge be compared to that of our cousin? β
"He's gone anyway! I've been free for two or three years! Qiu Lulan no longer paid attention to the maid's objections, and excitedly imagined a better life with money and no one to teach her in the future - maybe even the heavens couldn't see her so conscienceless - less than two days after Ruan Qingyan and his party set off, a piece of news shocked Qiu Yulan, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch and eating pears, and almost swallowed the pear cores: "The grandfather of the imperial court 'Wu Lie'?!" Also give the burial of the mausoleum of the first emperor?! How is this possible?! β
"What did the county lord say?!" Mother Zhou, Su He and others stopped her in unison, "This is a great event!" How can you say that?! β
Mother Zhou, who has always been good-tempered and modest, couldn't help but chatter: "Although I am only your grandfather, I can enjoy the glory now, and you have a light on your face!" β
Qiu Yulan threw aside the little pear that was left, and said anxiously: "I didn't mean that - but, you all know what my grandfather's family has been like over the years, if I remember correctly, although the nickname 'Wu Lie' is not the highest general, it is not bad, right?" That's not all, is this burial of the tomb of the first emperor a grace that ordinary courtiers can have? How could it be given to my grandfather?! β
In the past two years, General Ruan has been reduced to relying on his daughter to secretly sell his dowry, and he has not seen the imperial court, nor has he seen any old friends, and now when he dies, he is actually a beautiful man and a burial emperor...... Even if the dead are big, it's too big, right?!
"Didn't Miss Xue say that Xue Xiang would ask for a posthumous title for the old general before?" Su He reminded.
Qiu Yulan frowned: "Even if 'Wu Lie' came like this, what about the grace of accompanying the emperor's mausoleum?" My grandfather had the handle of the defeat of the war, even if he is gone now, it is impossible for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to sympathize to this point, right? β
Not only did she not understand, but even Ruan Qingyan, who was chased by Yi Zhi on the road, was stunned and inexplicable, but he still had a clue: "Back then, Empress Dowager Gu supported Shi Han to take away the Zhenxi Army from her grandfather, and because of her grandfather's prestige in the Zhenxi Army, over the years, Empress Dowager Gu has not given her grandfather any chance to recover, not to mention, even the old relationship with her grandfather at the beginning has been suppressed so that everyone is in danger...... Could it be that now that my grandfather is dead, and I have taken the path of a civilian official, it is impossible for the Ruan family to affect Guo Shihan's status in the Zhenxi Army, so they are generous over there? β
"But this proposer is Xue Xiang, but not Shi Shi Han - yes, according to the itinerary, Guo Shi Han knows the news of his grandfather's death at this time It is very good, where can I get on the table?"
Outsiders don't know what Empress Jiang said to her nephew alone in the Beique Palace, so for Xue Chang's efforts to ask for a reward for General Ruan this time, they all think that it is to compensate Ruan Qingyan, who was innocently humiliated by Xue Fangmi before-for a while, the Xue family saved a lot of reputation lost because of this incident.
"But what's going on with the burial of the emperor's mausoleum?" The court is not from the Xue family, even if it is the queen mother and the queen, it is not so easy to let a certain courtier accompany the emperor's tomb - it has been more than thirty years since the first emperor died, even if it is only buried near the emperor's tomb, it is suspected of disturbing the spirit of the first emperor, this kind of grace is much more difficult than getting a nickname!
Ruan Qingyan waited with such doubts to the official of the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for guiding him to bury General Ruan, and after the Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites named Li Qianzhi, explained, he understood how the mourning of the Emperor's Mausoleum came from: "The first emperor promised his grandfather? β
"That was almost forty years ago." Li Qianzhi bowed his head and said with emotion, "If it weren't for Xue Xiang still remembering, he would have turned out the living notes of the year and compared them to ......" The following words are self-evident.
Ruan Qingyan was stunned, but also deeply admired Xue Chang: "My grandfather has to enjoy the honor, thanks to his teacher, how fortunate is the student?" Thank you so much! β
Nearly forty years ago, Xue Chang didn't know if he was thirty years old? You must know that this famous minister of the two dynasties, like Ruan Qingyan, was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, not to mention, he also entered the eyes of the first emperor during the palace examination, and he was in the emperor's heart early, and he was promoted quickly all the way - this situation is the easiest to ignore everything and not take his colleagues in his eyes, but what about him? No one in the Ruan family remembered a casual promise of the first emperor, and he could still use it - based on this memory and attention alone, it is no accident that this person is a very human minister!
If he hadn't had this memory, it would have been impossible for General Ruan to get the treatment of accompanying the emperor's mausoleum!
It can be seen that Li Qianzhi is very envious of Ruan Qingyan: "It's a blessing in my life to have such a teacher!" β
Listening to this sentence, you can know that Xue Chang's approach this time has given him how many points of good divisions - outsiders who don't know don't know that Xue Chang is taking advantage of the death of General Ruan to divert the focus of the court dispute, only that Xue Chang is racking his brains so much for his protΓ©gΓ©!
But Ruan Qingyan doesn't care - after all, General Ruan has the grace of being honored and buried in the emperor's mausoleum, which is also very good for him.
The most obvious point is that he doesn't have to go to Laizhou!
After all, there are royal guards guarding the vicinity of the imperial tomb, and it is difficult for idle people to approach. How could Ruan Qingyan be allowed to stay for three years?
So his three-year filial piety is to return to Beijing and guard in the general's mansion......
Well, this is also the reason why Qiu Yulan almost swallowed the pear pit before......
