Meng Xingci stood up, she raised her wine glass, and said with a smile: "I have been dressed as a man since I was a child, and in order to hide my identity, I never dared to get close to others, but I didn't expect to make friends, this is my honor." Along the way, you have helped me a lot, so that I can get to where I am today. No matter what kind of misunderstanding we have had before, for the fate of our meeting and for the greater prosperity of the Great Enlightenment, I respect everyone! ”

After Meng Xingci finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

Everyone smiled slightly, and said in unison: "For the fate of the meeting, for the great revelation!" ”

Their voices were high-spirited.

Everyone drank this glass of wine and smiled at each other.

Meng Qingyan and the old marquis stood outside the door, listening to the voices of the young people inside, looking at each other and smiling.

"I finally admit that I'm old, but it doesn't matter if I'm old, Daqi still has these children, they will all grow up and support Daqi's sky." The old marquis said with a sigh.

Meng Qingyan couldn't help but glance at him, "It's really rare, General Ye will also admit that he is old." ”

The old marquis prefers others to call himself a general rather than a marquis.

The old marquis smiled with relief: "Looking at them, I feel relieved that I am old." After a pause, he rarely straightened his face, "Although the emperor pardoned Xingci, it would be a pity that your granddaughter's talent could be buried in this way, and it would be a pity to return to the boudoir to be everyone's lady." Have you ever thought about her future? ”

I have seen the vast sky, and I will never be able to go back to the world in the back house.

Meng Qingyan frowned: "You mean, let Xingci continue to be an official?" ”

In fact, Meng Qingyan doesn't think it's a pity? The children he taught single-handedly had great ambitions and should have shined in the officialdom, but now let her be an ordinary woman again, even Meng Xingci would not get used to it.

The old marquis nodded, his eyes flashed: "If you want me to say, the rule that women are not allowed to be officials for thousands of years should also be changed." How many women's abilities are not lost to men, you should also plan well. If you need help with this, just ask. ”

This is to use the power of the Dingyong Marquis Mansion to help him, Meng Qingyan didn't expect the old marquis to be so concerned about Meng Xingci.

Meng Qingyan was thoughtful.

On this day, everyone except for Prince An was drunk. Fortunately, the Meng Mansion was big enough to accommodate so many people, but one person was kicked out.

Ye Xun blinked and looked at Ling Huan in disbelief, "What did you just say?" ”

Ling Huan's heart was weak for a moment, but thinking that this was the old lady's order, he straightened his back again.

"Our old lady said that Ye Shizi is different from the adults and men in our family, and it is not easy to stay overnight, so we prepared a carriage to send Ye Shizi back to the house." Ling Huan said confidently.

Ye Xun opened his mouth, but he couldn't say half a sentence.

He used to live in Mengfu, where he had his own courtyard and all his office paperwork in his study. It can be said that the Meng Mansion is more like his home than the Dingyong Marquis Mansion.

But now he's been swept out of the house?

The words were ordered by Meng Qingyan, and Ye Xun didn't dare to express it even if he was full of dissatisfaction.

"You let me go to meet the boss first, I still have a lot of official documents in the study, and there are many important official documents to deal with, can I move them tomorrow?" Ye Xun asked.

Ling Huan smiled slightly: "Ye Shizi, the things in your study have been sent back to the Dingyong Marquis Mansion for you, and I promise not to delay your business." ”

Ye Xun gritted his teeth: "Who made him troublesome." ”

Ling Huan spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "No way, the order personally given by the old lady of our family, who dares to disobey?" ”

Ye Xun returned in vain, hung his head and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the mansion, the old marquis's carriage stopped in front of him.

The old marquis lifted the carriage and laughed at him mercilessly: "Ha, let people drive out?" Tell me about you, do you have any interest? rescued people, not to mention the heroes, that is also the most contribution, but was driven out by people in disgrace. How can I have a grandson like you? What a shame! After a pause, he urged the coachman: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, look at him and feel unlucky, don't let people see me talking to him." ”

Groom: "......"

It seems that your old man is going to stop and talk to the prince.

Old children, old children, the older the old marquis is, the more he likes to make juniors.

The old marquis left in a carriage, and Ye Xun was really left alone.

Ye Xun stood at the empty door, looked back at the closed door, and was inexplicably a little depressed.

Ye Xun wanted to knock on the door and ask Meng Qingyan, why could Bai Zhichen and Shen Qianzhi live in Meng Mansion, but he couldn't? But I also want to know what answer Meng Qingyan will give, and he really doesn't dare.

Meng Xingci respected Meng Qingyan very much in his heart, if he knew that he questioned and contradicted Meng Qingyan, he would turn his face with him.

It's okay to give a carriage or a horse.

With an extremely sad heart, Ye Shizi walked back to the Dingyong Marquis Mansion on foot.

Zhao Jin has been in a good mood recently, his baby brother has recovered, although he ran away without a trace as soon as he recovered, he didn't care; The most difficult case of Meng Xingci was also successfully resolved, Meng Xingci was released, the Manchu civil and military forces did not object, and the teacher did not have to be sad.

Dongying's envoys are also gone, it can be said that the current Daqi is now in good weather and the country is peaceful, so Zhao Jin went to the early dynasty with a relaxed mood.

However, as soon as he went to the early court, the left waiter of the criminal department made a twist.

There is a woman in Jun County who sued her brother for killing her father and forcing her mother to death, which is really unfilial. But when the case was reported to the Yamen, it was the woman who was arrested. After the woman was imprisoned, she was insulted by the jailer, and the woman was so humiliated that she hanged herself.

"Your Majesty, this case is really shocking. The woman's brother forced his parents to pay off the debt because of his gambling debts, but his parents were unwilling, so he disobeyed his elders and even forced his own mother to die. When the woman complained, he was bitten back for the woman as a brother. Your Majesty, this case is not an isolated case, I don't know how many wronged women in the world died unjustly because they didn't dare to sue. Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department said bitterly.

The ministers looked at him and wanted to kill him with their eyes.

Zhao Jin slowly frowned.

There is no trivial matter in the court, let alone such a case of family disputes, the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department actually reported to the emperor and said that it was simply a brain in water.

But, is this what he is talking about? He's talking about women's rights.

Now there is no woman in Daqi who wants to go to court, because once a woman is arrested and put in prison, she will be bullied by the jailer and her innocence will not be guaranteed. In order to avoid this, if a woman is required to appear in the court, the father or brother replaces her, or the male elder of the family speaks on her behalf.
