In the face of the impeachment of his colleagues in the DPRK and China, Wang Chong had no other way than to accept it calmly, and Emperor Xining was able to calm down, not only keeping Wang Chong's several excerpts about salt affairs in the middle, but also suppressing all those excerpts that impeached Wang Chong.

In the end, Wang Chong did not do any angry and resentful behavior, violating the law, and the two folds were conducive to Emperor Xiping to gather power and consolidate his position.

Now that Zhao Zongquan has just succeeded to the throne and first served in the court, it is precisely when he wants to win over the hearts of the people and win over the courtiers, but Emperor Jiayou has been in power for 40 years, widely practicing benevolent government, and his prestige is very high, even if there is such a thing as the Yanwang mutiny forcing the palace, it still has not affected the prestige of Emperor Jiayou in the court.

Although Zhao Zongquan has the merit of saving the king of Qin, but in the end it is to catch the ducks on the shelf, and before becoming the prince, it is just an unpopular clan, which has been dried in Yuzhou for many years, and has no contact with the court, and the relatives are only from the small family in Yuzhou, otherwise, Zhao Zongquan would not agree to ask the Empress Dowager Cao to go out of the mountain a while ago, and the curtain will not be said to listen to the government, and the jade seal will be handed over to the Empress Dowager Cao to be in charge.

Now that the war in the south is not over, Zhao Zongquan naturally does not dare to act rashly.

But now Zhao Zongquan, who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, doesn't want to have a emperor sitting on his head all the time, after all, power is the most fascinating thing, once it is contaminated, even if he is as timid as a mouse, he can breed monstrous ambitions, and with ambition, his courage will naturally increase.

"Third uncle! I heard that there are quite a few people in the DPRK and China who have impeached you recently, so why do you still act as if nothing happened? ”

Looking at Wang Chong, who was leaning on a recliner in the yard, basking in the sun, holding a peeled orange in his hand, and eating comfortably, Wang Qian'er, who had just finished practicing guns, asked curiously while wiping her sweat.

Wang Zhong closed his eyes, ate oranges, enjoyed the warm sunshine, and said indifferently: "Impeachment is impeachment, the big deal is to be reprimanded and punished with some money, anyway, our family doesn't rely on those money to eat." ”

"Third uncle, this is not your style!" Wang Qian'er put down the handkerchief, picked up an orange, and peeled it herself.

These oranges were all sent from Jinghu last year, and they were treated by Wang Chong with a special potion, and they were hidden in the cellar, where they could be stored for several months without rotting.

"What's my style?"

"Don't you often say that it's better to take the initiative than to be beaten?" Wang Qian'er looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Chong still looked calm: "The dog bit you, do you still have to bite back?" ”

Wang Qian'er said: "Only a fool bites back, just use a weapon." ”

"It's a pity that it's not time to use weapons yet!" Wang Chongdao: "Besides, it's just some incompetent barking that doesn't hurt, if the official family really intends to deal with me, do you think I can still lie here in the sun so nicely and accompany you to practice guns?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Qian'er nodded.

Wang Qian'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she came to Wang Chong with a gossipy face, and asked in a low voice: "Third uncle, when will you and your third aunt give me a few younger brothers and sisters!" ”

Wang Chong's eyes that had been closed were finally willing to open, but they were only half-open, and only one eye, "What, you want to help me and your third aunt take care of the children?" ”

"Of course!" Wang Qian'er said: "Our family is thin now, Brother Xu is young, and it is not yet time to get married, third uncle, you have to hurry!" Inherit the lineage for our old Wang family, and the heavy responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves is on your shoulders. ”

"With this kung fu to make fun of me, it's better to care more about your third aunt!" Wang Chong's eyes closed again.

"Concerned about the third aunt?" Wang Qian'er asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with the third aunt?" ”

"You can ask her yourself!"

After a stick of incense, the entire county lord's mansion was lively, and Wang Qian'er, who heard that she was pregnant and was about to have an extra brother or sister, waved her hand happily, and the family went up and down, and everyone rewarded money consistently.

This arrogant handwriting, picking and searching on weekdays, is very different from the county lord of Yong'an, who has always flaunted his diligence and thrift.

The next day, Wang Chong took Minglan back to Sheng's house and asked Minglan to tell Mrs. Sheng the good news in person.

Old Mrs. Sheng was very excited, grabbed Minglan and asked, "How long has it been?" ”

"It's been almost a month!" Minglan said a little shyly, after all, it was the first time to be pregnant.

Mrs. Sheng hurriedly instructed: "This woman is pregnant, the first three months and the last three months are the most dangerous times, especially if you are pregnant for the first time and have no experience, so you have to be careful······ By the way, your little lady doesn't know the news yet, right? ”

Minglan shook her head and said, "I haven't had time to tell Xiaoniang yet." ”

Old Lady Sheng patted Minglan with a smile and said, "If she knows the news, she will definitely be happy!" ”

"By the way, have you felt anything uncomfortable in the past few days? Do you feel nauseous or nauseous? Old Lady Sheng asked with concern.

Minglan shook her head: "It's no different from weekdays, if it weren't for the official saying that something was wrong with me and diagnosing my pulse, I wouldn't have known that I had it!" ”

Wang Chong next to him also said with a smile: "I saw that Minglan was a little mentally poor these days, a little lethargic, and her complexion was different from usual, so I thought about helping her try her pulse, but I didn't think that it would really happen." ”

By the way, he explained to Mrs. Sheng again: "Nausea and nausea are just a manifestation of a woman's pregnancy, but they are not absolute." ”

"You have excellent medical skills, and you have to take good care of Dian Ming'er on weekdays!" Old Madam Sheng nodded, and did not forget to tell Wang Chongdao.

"It's nature!" Wang Chongdao: "I also pointed to Minglan to give birth to children for me!" ”

"By the way, I have to tell you this good news as soon as possible, so that she can be happy and happy!"

Saying that, Mrs. Sheng asked Mama Fang to ask someone to ask Wei Shuyi and Changdong to come over.

Wei Shuyi is a concubine in the family, and he visits Wang Ruofu on weekdays, and he doesn't often come to Shou'an Hall, but occasionally follows Wang Ruofu to greet Mrs. Sheng.

After a while, Wei Shuyi and Changdong came.

After seeing the ceremony, after hearing the old lady explain that Lan was pregnant, Wei Shuyi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Minglan with a look of surprise: "Ming'er has a body?" ”

Seeing Minglan nodding in person, Wei Shuyi subconsciously asked about the month, knowing that it was only a month, he first asked Minglan about her body with concern, and then told Minglan to pay attention to this, pay attention to that, what can be done and what can't be done, crackling, but it is very different from her usual cautious words and deeds at home.

Not long after, Sheng Hong also came back, and when he heard that Wang Zhong and Minglan had come to Shou'an Hall, they also followed and searched for it, knowing that Minglan was pregnant, and he was also happy.

After a while, he took Wang Zhong outside, preparing for a drink between Weng and his son-in-law to celebrate and celebrate.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Sheng Hong unconsciously drank a few more glasses, and the wine was on his head, and his face was also reddened.

"I heard my grandmother say that two days ago, my sister-in-law took my brother to Haozhou to find Zecheng?"

"Bai'er and your sister-in-law have only been married for a few years, and there is only one child like Brother Shi'er under her knees, the Hai family's family discipline is strict, your sister-in-law went earlier, and they can also have a few more children and spread out for the Sheng family!"

The Hai family's family motto, whether it is the Hai family's nephew or son-in-law, the wife can only take a concubine if she has not been out for seven years.

The Hai family is a clear stream, a scholarly world, a long-lived eunuch, a three-jinshi, a strict family style, this rule is also clearly placed there, the men of the Hai family naturally do not worry about marrying, but the daughter of the Hai family is a little troublesome to marry.

It is a marriage with the Hai family, and it is also a scholarly door with the Hai family, and the door with strict rules.

"Father-in-law seems to have something on his mind?" Putting down the wine cup and looking at Sheng Hong, Wang Chong's voice changed.

"Hey!" Sheng Hong, who was on the wine, also spit out the words in his heart: "It's not Changfeng's bastard!" Because of his little mother's affairs, he made several troubles at home, clamoring to take his little mother back from Zhuangzi. ”

"Didn't my father-in-law tell Brother Changfeng the truth of the matter?" Wang Zhong asked.

Sheng Hong sighed again: "This kind of thing, I'm a father, how can I say it!" ”

Ask a father to tell his son: Your biological mother coerced your sister for fornicating with others, and even made a child, and even spread rumors everywhere outside, using the reputation of the Sheng family to blackmail the whole family to help promote the marriage between your sister and the Marquis of Yongchang Liang Jialiulang.

Sheng Hong didn't know how others were, but he couldn't say it.

"Paper can't contain fire, Brother Changfeng will know one day! Although Brother Changfeng did wander a little on weekdays, his nature was not bad, if he knew the cause and effect of this incident, he would be able to understand his father-in-law. ”

"I'm afraid I'll break his heart!" Sheng Hong looked at the wine cup in his hand with drunken eyes, and just finished sighing, he raised his head and drank it again.

"If the father-in-law doesn't mind, how about the son-in-law say about this matter?" Wang Chong took the initiative to recommend himself.

"Hey!" Sheng Hong didn't answer, poured another glass of wine, and drank it all again.

Wang Zhong took a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes, and went straight to Changfeng's courtyard.

"Wang ····· Sixth brother-in-law? Changfeng was quite happy to see Wang Chong's arrival.

"Didn't disturb Brother Changfeng's rest, did you?" In recent days, Changfeng has been having an awkward relationship with Sheng Hong, and he has fallen off the list again, he is depressed, and he is grounded at home, he is not allowed to go out to eat and drink nonsense, and his little mother's affairs are aggrieved!

"No, no! The sixth brother-in-law can come, I'm too late to be happy, please come inside! Changfeng was very enthusiastic and pulled Wang Chong into the house, especially when he saw that Wang Chong also brought wine and food, he became more and more enthusiastic.

After a greeting, I listened to Changfeng pour a lot of bitter water, what kind of Huai Cai did not meet, Maxima is difficult to meet Bole, the examiner does not have a pair of discerning eyes, and he can't recognize his dusty pearl.

Wang Chong also comforted him a few words, but I don't know if he listened.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Chong also changed the topic: "I heard that Brother Changfeng and his father-in-law had some unpleasant trouble recently?" ”

"Sixth brother-in-law, you don't know, my little mother ······" Before Changfeng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Chong.

"I know!"

Changfeng was stunned by Wang Chong's words, and looked at Wang Chong puzzled: "You know? ”

"I know that Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city and locked up! I also know why Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi and locked up, but does the Changfeng brothers know the reason? ”

Changfeng's expression was abrupt, in fact, he had already guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure or believe it, so he could only look at Wang Chong, and asked with a rather solemn face: "I asked my father, but my father refused to tell me the reason." ”

"Hey!" Wang Zhong sighed, "I can't complain about my father-in-law about this, it's really ····· It's really ······ It's hard to talk about! ”

Changfeng's face changed for a while, becoming more and more ugly, but he also wanted to know the answer: "What is the reason?" ”

Before getting married, the fourth aunt had been pregnant for more than two months, but Lin Xiaoniang and the fourth aunt's wishful thinking did not start, then Liang Liulang was a master who couldn't be the master, and Mrs. Wu looked down on the fourth aunt, and even grounded Liang Liulang at home, not allowing him to associate with the fourth aunt again.

After that, Lin Xiaoniang deliberately went to Sanqingguan to make incense and accidentally fell, and let Liang Liulang, who ran away from home, carry it all the way from Sanqingguan to the carriage outside, and deliberately let people spread the matter, saying that the two behaved ambiguously and abnormally, and did not hesitate to use this to force the father-in-law, mother-in-law and the old lady, just to let the fourth aunt marry into the Liang family. ”

Changfeng was already shocked after hearing this, got up and staggered back a few steps, shook his head and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible for my aunt and sister to do such a thing!" ”

Changfeng thought that his little mother had made some other mistakes, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.

"Brother Changfeng, don't you know your father-in-law? With his love for Lin Xiaoniang and the fourth aunt, if it weren't for the ironclad evidence, how could he send Lin Xiaoniang to Zhuangzi for detention! ”

Seeing that Changfeng still looked incredulous, Wang Chong continued: "I was also shocked when I first found out about this, you were in the examination room at that time, fighting for your future, I really can't imagine that as your biological mother, the sister of your mother's compatriots, Lin Xiaoniang and the fourth aunt will not hesitate to gamble with themselves and the reputation of the entire Sheng family at that time, forcing the whole family to promote her and Liang Han's relationship." ”

"Brother knows, in order to save the rest of the Sheng family's daughters, the mother-in-law went to the Liang family in person on the second day, but was sneered and ridiculed by the Wu lady, and lost face in the Liang family, and finally could only come back with a disgraced face!

The Liang family is powerful, the father and son of the Marquis of Yongchang are all officials in the court, and the marriage is all over Tokyo, the father-in-law is only a five-grade petty official, and the mother-in-law's maiden family is now no longer in its former glory, the two of them have no choice but to go to Shou'an Hall to ask the old lady to come out of the mountain, but the old lady has been widowed for many years, ignoring the world, and the outside world has not been in contact for many years, and the Yongyi Hou Mansion has long since declined, and the old lady has fallen out with the Hou Mansion.

If it is done, it will be fine, but if it is not, then the face of the Sheng family will really be completely trampled into the mud, and then it will be said that it is the daughter of the Sheng family, I am afraid that it is the father-in-law, Zecheng, and Brother Changfeng, and you will not be able to have a smooth career in the future.

Fortunately, when I got together with Zhong Huai last year, I heard Zhong Huai mention the matter of the Liang family, and I specially asked Zhong Huai's father Gu Hou to help, so I reluctantly said this, so as not to let the old lady be so old, and personally went to the door to ask for help. ”

Wang Chong's every word was like a rusty blunt knife, cutting into Changfeng's heart one after another, and the blood flowed like an infusion, which was difficult to contain.

"As the saying goes, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, the Changfeng brothers are full of economic wealth, full of poetry and books, such a simple truth should be understood without me saying it, the father-in-law is the head of the family, and there are some things, the Changfeng brothers have to understand him."

"Third Brother Wang, you lied to me, right! You must have lied to me! How could my little mother and sister do such a shameless thing! Changfeng had tears in his eyes, still holding the last trace of hope in his heart, grabbed Wang Chong's hand, and asked helplessly.

"This matter is already known to everyone in the family, if the brother doesn't believe it, you might as well go to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and ask the fourth aunt in person! Naturally, you will know the truth and the false. ”

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

Changfeng said three 'no' words in a row, staggered back seven or eight steps, his feet touched the chair, his knees weakened, his body also fell back, and he sat down on the chair, his pupils had gradually lost focus, his eyes lost their brightness, and his gaze became sloppy.

Today is undoubtedly a huge blow to Changfeng.

I don't want to believe that my biological mother and sister are such shameless people, and I don't want to believe that the two of them even disregard their own future, just to promote their sister Mo Lan's family affairs.

If Wang Zhong had not invited Marquis Ning Yuan to brush his face, and Mo Lan and Liang Han's family affair had not been completed, Changfeng would have not fallen to Sun Shan in this examination, but stood out and won the Jinshi, but I am afraid that he may not be able to be awarded the official.

Two lines of tears silently slipped down the sides of Chang Feng's cheeks.
