The busyness of the Guogong Mansion came to an end temporarily, and the Huang family had no excuse to refuse for some social entertainment, and the eldest princess said that since she had the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, she should also take her to attend some invitational banquets, and get acquainted with the good friends as soon as possible.

met Xiao Man again at a "summer tea party".

"I have rejected my cousin, saying that I know his difficulties and do not blame him for taking an oath, but I am also a child, dare not cherish myself? Only this is the end of his fate. ”

After hearing this, Yi Jing was still worried that Jin Qilang would give up and compromise with his parents' orders, but she was a boudoir, and she really couldn't interfere with Jin Qilang's decision, and thought that Yu Feng should also pay attention to this matter, guessing that he had instilled some words in Jin Qilang's ears.

In fact, Yijing and Xiao Man intersect, not all of them are hypocritical, after a long time, I think Xiao Man is really a good woman, she doesn't know what kind of virtue Jin Qilang is, but seeing Xiao Man's deep affection for him, she also hopes that a lover can become a family.

It's just that I'm worried that Jin Xiang will be guilty in the future, and under the nest, Ann will have finished his eggs?

also tested Xiao Man: "If Jin Qilang insists on refusing to marry someone else for your disobedience to your elders, but is punished for this, or will be rejected by the family and spend his whole life, what should you do?" ”

Xiao Man said: "If he is really like this, I will not be disappointed, even if I am destitute in the future, I will follow." ”

"Aman, is it really worth it?"

"If he is sincere, I am worth it."

Yijing didn't expect that his words would become a prophecy.

Before the end of June, when another aristocratic banquet was being held, I heard rumors-

"Have you heard that Shichiro from the Golden Prime Mansion's house actually left home to live outside of home, it seems that it is for marriage."

"Really? Where did you find out? ”

"Isn't my brother also in the country? and Kim Shichiro were originally classmates. ”

"I also heard a few words from the elders in the family, saying that Mrs. Jin had an agreement with her mother's brother and sister-in-law in her early years to fulfill Qilang and Aman, but Jin Xiang did not allow it, and wanted to marry Shangshufu, Qilang insisted on the earlier marriage contract, so he quarreled with Jin Xiang."

"I can't see that Jin Qilang is a person who values love and righteousness."

"He and Aman were originally childhood sweethearts, but the Shangshu Mansion was wishful thinking, and Jin Xiang didn't fancy that the Shangshu Mansion was higher than the Xiao family, so he beat the mandarin ducks, regardless of the verbal agreement back then."

Hearing the tendencies of these public opinions, Yijing knew that there was the instigation of the prince, and secretly thought that the marriage plan that the prime minister had been planning for a long time, but he was afraid that it would be ruined.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for it to be reported that Shangshu Mansion had returned Qilang Gengti.

Han Shangshu said that he didn't know that the Jin family and the Xiao family had a marriage contract, but since this was the case, he couldn't take away the marriage.

Jin Xiang was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but his daughter-in-law had a verbal agreement with her mother's brother and sister-in-law for a moment of selfishness, and there was no token or written agreement, how could it become a marriage contract?

But the rumors are sometimes so arrogant and unreasonable, no matter if you have credentials or not, even if Han Shangshu feels sorry for his daughter, he has to take care of the family reputation, and with Jin Qilang's resolute attitude, he will marry his daughter again, which is really shameless.

The good marriage was stopped, and Jin Xiang was furious, and beat Jin Qilang badly, and actually swept the floor out, removed his name from the family tree, and even forced his son to divorce the Xiao family.

Although the Xiao family is not a noble, it was once a big family, how can Jin Xiang be unreasonable, and argue on the basis of reason - my Xiao daughter married into the Jin family as a wife, her in-laws, and raised children, and she did not commit seven crimes, why was she abandoned?

There is also a royal history of the same party as Qin Xiang, who impeached Jin Xiangyi, saying that he was arrogant and unreasonable, and insulted the etiquette law.

Jin Xiangcai did not insist.

But something that made Jin Xiang angry happened - Xiao experience also said that the marriage contract back then, although it was only a verbal agreement, but it could not be reversed, although Qilang had been expelled from the Jin family, but the Xiao family still recognized the covenant of the year, Qilang was abandoned by his father, and the marriage can be his own decision, as long as he asks the matchmaker to propose, the Xiao family is willing to marry his daughter and him.

In this way, Jin Xiang has become even more infamous - in order to form a party, he ignored the previous agreement and forced his grandson to fail, and he disregarded his flesh and blood relatives, and removed his blood relatives and grandsons from the family tree with the excuse of "disobedience", which shows that he is ruthless.

And the Xiao family endured humiliation in the Jin Mansion for many years, and never even said a word of heavy words, but he was in danger of being abandoned, and his son was also expelled.

After Xiao married into the Jin family, he gave birth to two daughters and a son, and the two daughters had already married into a famous family.

Yijing heard about this "upheaval" intermittently, and was really happy for Xiao Man - her infatuation was not wrong, and if she had a lover, she would eventually become a family, since Jin Qilang had been removed from the family tree, once there was a disaster in the Jin family in the future, the young couple would not be implicated.

And about the Guogong Mansion, a small but "far-reaching" thing is also happening.

On a June afternoon, the long bluestone road in Zhengzheng Fang is full of golden sunshine, reflecting the fierce light, and under the two shades of the lush sycamore trees outside the wall, there are occasionally people from the two prefectures passing, all in a hurry. Outside the corner gate of the Weiguo Mansion, the two little guards leaned against the sycamore, yawned from time to time, pulled a handful of clothes, wiped the hot sweat in the neck sockets, and complained about the long-awaited rain just now, how did the road not even get wet and stopped.

Suddenly, a man who was walking quickly under the shade of a tree, who seemed to be a servant in official uniform, hurriedly pulled his companions, and the two little servants quickly tidied up their scattered clothes, and the resentment and embarrassment on their faces were contained.

Sure enough, it was the official of Shuntianfu, when he walked to the door, after throwing a word, he couldn't help but return the same way.

The two little guys looked at each other, and after being stunned for a moment, they came back to their senses and realized that this was not good, and rushed into the interior to report to Chief Song.

"Uncle Spoke, the big thing is not good, just now there was a servant from the Shuntian Mansion who came to spread the word, saying that there was a scoundrel who was sued to the yamen in order to collect profits and hurt people, but that person said that he was instructed by someone from the Guogong Mansion." The little guy was out of breath.

Song Hui was secretly happy in his heart - his actions had obviously had an effect.

Generally, in this kind of case involving public waiting, Shuntianfu Yin will send someone to inform him in order to be safe, in order to let the nobles have a preparation first, if it has nothing to do with the overall situation, it is just a small dispute, it is better to settle the matter first, even if the matter is too big and difficult to end, it will generally not come directly to the door to get people.

In order to be "safe", Mama Song will not make a big fuss, so as not to make the master angry and investigate thoroughly, but in order to make Mama Yang "faceless", at least in the Guogong Mansion, everyone knows about it first.

So after Song Hui's secret joy for a while, he immediately realized that he was troubled - the two little guys didn't name Mama Yang's son, so how could he spread the word?

Immediately asked carefully, only to find out that the official had not explained.

Song Hui angrily kicked the little guy who was passing the word: "I know that the matter is important, why don't you ask carefully, how can I return to the master without a head?" He raised his foot and chased out, wanting to inquire and understand.

But where can I catch up with that officer?

Besides, Song Hui didn't really plan to ask, what was this thing like, how could he not know, but he was just making a show, so after coming back, he hurriedly asked the mother-in-law at the second gate to invite Mama Lan beside the Duchess of the Kingdom-

This is also Mama Song's idea, she expected that the Duchess had secretly hated Mama Yang for a long time, and with such a good opportunity, she would not let go of Mama Yang's face.

Sure enough, as soon as Mama Lan heard Song Hui say that Mama Yang's three boys had made such a mistake, she chanted along the way that the Buddha opened her eyes, and when she saw a mother-in-law called "Big Mouth" on the way, she immediately called her -

"I went to Mama Yang, and I said that the three boys of her family had caused trouble outside, and they injured people when collecting money, and the matter went to Shuntianfu, and she was accused of bullying people, so she asked her to come to Ruiyuan quickly and discuss with Mrs. how to deal with it."

So with the hurried pace of this "big-mouthed woman", the trouble caused by Mama Yang spread all over the Guogong Mansion in an instant.

Such a thing, even if the Huang family has the middle feed, it is not easy to make his own opinions, the head of the family, Wei Guogong, is busy with affairs, and he is still supervising the government at this time, so it is not easy to alarm for such a small matter, so he had to lead Mama Yang to Yuanying Hall together, first report to the eldest princess, and then take out a charter to deal with it.

Yijing "just happened" to be in front of her grandmother on this day, not only her, but also Qi Niang and Xu.

And Mama Song is naturally there.

When the Huang family methodically told Song Hui about the report, Mama Yang was already ashamed, her face turned red, and she landed on her knees without hesitation, and reported with a crying voice: "The slave and maid have no way to educate and discipline properly, so they caused such a disaster, I dare not ask for forgiveness, please punish Mrs. Tai severely." ”

Mama Song waited for the eldest princess to frown, and hurriedly helped Mama Yang up, while persuading: "At the moment, it is still the other party's own words, and it is not easy to theorize how things are." ”

Mama Yang refused to get up, but said: "Mrs. Tai, the slave maid's rebellious son is so ambitious, I warned him earlier, but he has been taught repeatedly, he only claims to take money and give profits, he has never crossed the limit, and it is also in accordance with the law, the slave and maid can't be persuaded for a while, but I never thought that he was so bold and reckless, and the slave and maid have sent someone to ask him to ask for guilt......"

In fact, about this matter, Mama Yang also reported to the eldest princess earlier, I heard that she was just looking for a Chinese person to make a profit, and the eldest princess didn't take it to heart, after all, the law of the country is not prohibited, and Mama Yang's family has long been freed from slavery, and it is understandable that the three boys of her family want to save interest and start a business.

But now in order to make profits, he actually hurts people and goes to the government, and things are not so simple.

"Princess, it's better to go to Shuntianfu first and ask carefully, if it's just a trivial matter, the person is not seriously injured, it is nothing more than to make some money." Mama Song comforted very intimately: "Although the three boys of Xueyan and her family are so strong, they usually don't look like nonsense, and besides, it is not a big sin to act impulsively. ”

Yi Jing watched from the sidelines, pretending to be puzzled: "Grandmother, since the matter has gone to the government, how can it be so confusing, what if it is the Chinese person who is slandered, since he has already helped to release profits and collect profits, why didn't he make any hurtful things before?" ”

Others also gave up, but Xu Shi listened to Yijing's words, raised his eyelids slightly and looked over, as if he was a little puzzled.

Huang hurriedly "taught" Yijing: "This matter can't be publicized in any case, Mama Song's suggestion is the truth, can it be calmed down first or settled first, as for who is at fault, I have to theorize afterwards." ”

The reason is very simple - whether it is falsely accused or not, the jade bottle of the Guogong Mansion cannot collide with a stone in a thatched pit, otherwise it will spread and cause rumors to breed, and the three of them will become tigers, regardless of whether you are black or white.

Xu was thinking, if Qi Niang was replaced, it would be expected to say this, but the five girls...... Smart as she is, how can she be so naïve?

Although the eldest princess is known for her evil "bullying people", she still doesn't know how to do things carefully at this time, and the old relationship with Mama Yang is not ordinary, she knows that she is not such a "wicked person", the head of the family is young, and she is not considered for the sake of interests for a while, and she should be punished for making mistakes, but she is too heavy to be trapped in the yamen, and then there is a matter of family reputation, so she has to settle things first.

So he adopted Mama Song's suggestion and asked people to go to the yamen to do something - if it wasn't a big deal, the plaintiff would compensate him first just for money, as long as the plaintiff did a good job, Shuntianfu would naturally not make a big fuss.

This task, as expected, fell on the shoulders of Chief Manager Song.
