Chapter 2: The Lord of Kangping County
Wan Jinlan is very healthy, riding a horse for a few days in a row, as long as he can soak in hot water at night, the fatigue of the body can be relieved by a small half, as for the other half, after sleeping and getting up, he will be able to live again.
Chun Tao took her mother-in-law to move the bath bucket out, and went to the kitchen of the post station to bring a bowl of soup back.
Shen Qing loves to drink those soups and water that raise people, that is, when she goes out, as long as she has the conditions, she will let her mother-in-law boil a pot every day.
"Miss, today's soup is here."
Wan Jinlan glanced at it, it was a stewed crispy black chicken soup, the color was translucent, and the soup bowl was still steaming.
It was hot at first sight, and she would sweat when she drank it, and she was ready to let it go and drink it again.
Chun Tao whispered: "Just now, when the maid went out, I heard the faint crying of a woman in Madame's house. ”
Mother is secretly crying? Wan Jinlan was stunned, "But what happened to my mother?" ”
said that she was about to get dressed, but was stopped by Chun Tao.
"Miss doesn't have to go, it's not Madame, someone else came to the post house, and I also knew Madame, and I heard Aunt Cuiwen say that it was the county lord of Kangping and the Wu family."
Wan Jinlan asked: "The Wu family in Luoyi City?" ”
Although she left Beijing and went to the southwest for two years, she still has an impression of the county lord of Kangping.
The relationship between Beijing and China is complicated, and if the relationship between in-laws is connected, it is an incredible network.
Wan Jinlan doesn't like to break those twists and turns, but he was born in a family like the Zhenguo Mansion, and he has been exposed to these twists and turns since he was a child.
The county lord of Kangping was born in the clan, and his mother and her grandmother still have some kinship, both from the Cui family, but they are two branches, and the relationship is far and far, and it is indeed closer than other people's families.
She has a good memory, and the county lord of Kangping hugged her when she was a child.
Chun Tao continued to whisper the news she had heard in a short period of time.
"The county lord of Kangping has left, and the maid is still downstairs to see the eldest son of the county lord.
What kind of master there is, what kind of follower there is.
Chun Tao is a qualified follower.
She knows that Miss has a loose temperament and doesn't like to be constrained, and she also knows that Miss is very particular about eating, and she knows that the master loves to listen to freshly baked news, no matter who it is about, as long as Miss doesn't know, she loves to listen.
Not only does Miss love to listen, but she also loves to listen.
It's human nature to watch the excitement.
Alas, no, others are leaving, they look lively, somewhat inappropriate.
Of course, at this time, Chun Tao and Wan Jinlan didn't mean to laugh at the county lord of Kangping, but they were purely curious about her affairs, and they didn't mean anything else.
After getting up in the morning of the second day, after having a meal in the room, and when he left the post house and was about to get into the carriage, Wan Jinlan could be regarded as seeing the talent in Chuntao's mouth, the son of the Wu family in Yushu Linfeng.
The atmosphere of this dynasty is still open-minded, and the defense of men and women is not excessive, and women do not need to wear strict curtains when they go out.
Therefore, Wan Jinlan is wearing women's clothes today, and she does not wear the eye-catching and inconvenient curtain, revealing a childish face.
Shen Qing was standing by the carriage talking to a haggard middle-aged beautiful woman.
Wan Jinlan came to him and saluted, "I've seen the county lord." ”
The eyes of the lord of Kangping County were red, but he still gave her a meeting gift with a smile, a white jade bracelet with smooth and greasy color.
After a few pleasantries, they finally got into the carriage.
Both convoys headed for the pier.
They are all back to Kyoto, and the fastest way to take the water, naturally in one direction.
Today, Wan Jinlan was dressed in women's clothes and sat in a carriage, but her mouth and ears were not idle, and she heard about the situation of the county lord of Kangping from her mother.
Speaking of which, this Kangping county lord is also pitiful.
Married into the Wu family for 20 years, gave birth to children for the Wu family, and managed the inside and outside, which can be described as dedication.
However, a few months ago, the county lord found out that her husband had raised an outer chamber outside, and even the children in the outer chamber were a year older than her eldest son.
When the county lord was not married, the Wu family only had a little property, and Wu Shouren was a third-class jinshi in the examination.
The distinction between the Jinshi is greater, and the first class must enter the Hanlin Academy.
What kind of place is the Hallym Academy, the bachelor of the Hallym Academy, known as the "legal internal minister", look at those who have entered the cabinet, which one has not survived the Hallym Academy.
And the second and third grades, if there are no accidents, most of them will be from the places below, starting from petty officials.
This decentralization is very particular.
If Wu Shouren hadn't married the county lord of Kangping, with his situation at the time, he would have no connections to dredge him, and he would only be sent to a small place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs.
It was different to marry the county lord of Kangping, with the mother of the county lord of Kangping to dredge him, he was sent to the subordinate county of Sizhou Luoyi, which is not far from Beijing.
Twenty years have passed, and the former poor scholars have now become big officials in Yuyi, and the people who come and go are all powerful people, and they have successfully squeezed into the elite class.
Wu Shouren can climb so high, it is impossible without the help of the main mother of Kangping County.
As a result, what did the county lord of Kangping get?
She found that the outer room was Wu Shouren's former wife's room, and it was not an outer room.
Who wouldn't be angry about this?
The county lord of Kangping was born in a clan, and he has his own arrogance, how could he allow Wu Shouren to deceive her and fool her for twenty years.
However, at this time, Wu Shouren felt that he no longer needed the help of the lord of Kangping County, and threatened that if she dared to make trouble, Wu Ye's future would also be ruined.
Wu Ye is the eldest son of the county lord of Kangping and Wu Shouren, followed his father, is quite talented in reading, and won the first place in the township examination three years ago.
The county lord of Kangping endured it for the sake of his son, but she still left.
After listening to the matter of the county lord of Kangping, Wan Jinlan's mood was not so good.
It's good to be reconciled and separated, and you don't need to see the troublesome person anymore, but everything that the Wu family should belong to the county lord's mother and son is not cheaper for others. Wouldn't Wu Shouren still be able to live a chic life?
Wan Jinlan sighed, "Mother, why didn't the county lord choose to denounce him?" ”
Shen Qing sighed and said, "After you sue you, then what?" ”
"If Wu Shouren reconciles and divorces before marrying the county lord, he can't be sure that he has a wife and remarries, at most he just deceived some situations, and his reputation is flawed after he is exposed, and the black gauze hat will not fall off."
"If he really has a wife and marries, for officials, the punishment is stricter than that of the people, and the black yarn hat will definitely not be kept. But what about Wu Ye? ”
Wan Jinlan opened his mouth and said: "The county lord belongs to the clan, and Wu Ye does not have the support of the Wu family, and he can also rely on the imperial examination to get ahead." ”
Shen Qing opened her mouth to refute, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with what her girl said.
It's just too much to take for granted.
If you want to take the career path, it is natural to help as much as possible, in some aspects, both the father and the mother are very important, and the father is more important than the mother.
Although the family of the lord of Kangping County is a clan, the real power now is not as good as Wu Shouren.
Although Shen Qing could understand the county lord's choice, he also felt aggrieved.
