122 The county lord Niangniang Dafu
The carriage was quiet, and the three of them didn't say a word, but it was Father Ji who broke the peace first.
He rubbed his mountain roots and stretched out his hand to Ji Shu, "Give me the holy decree." β
Ji Shu handed it over, Ji's mother sobbed lowly, took Ji Shu's hand and asked, "Where have you lived these days?" β
"In the house I bought myself."
"You've got what it takes."
Father Ji pinched the shaft handle of the holy decree and said lukewarmly.
He raised the holy decree in his hand, "This is your will to ask the virtuous lady to intercede and let the emperor be!" β
Without waiting for Ji Shu to answer, Father Ji raised his voice and was furious: "Nonsense! You're simply lawless! You ask Concubine Xian to help you, but you know that she will be questioned by the Queen Mother because of this! Your aunt treats you so well, and you use her so much for your own selfishness? β
Ji Mu cried and said: "Now that the holy decree has been issued, and the women in the palace have many tongues, I don't know how many people will say that your aunt will bewitch the lord in the future." Shu'er, how can you be so selfish......"
"I did send a letter asking my aunt to summon me to the palace to face the saint, but the request did not let my aunt speak, I asked for it myself."
"You? Who are you when you are? It's just a boudoir girl! How will the emperor listen to you! β
Ji's father was dizzy, stroked his chest and said again and again: "Rebel girl, you, if you don't listen to your parents, forget it, you will still lieββ"
Ji's mother went up to give Ji's father a good breath, crying and begging Ji Shu: "Shu'er, just admit your mistake!" Now up and down the Ji Mansion, the old uncles are waiting! You will admit your mistake and be angry, you are your father's daughter, you can't be removed from the genealogy! β
Ji Shu was tired, she wanted to explain, but her father didn't give her a chance to interject at all, and the carriage stopped while talking.
A group of people surrounded the gate of Jifu, and the little guy who came back in advance to report the news just explained what had happened, and the clan elders were indignant, and they were standing here to block Ji Shu.
They surrounded the carriage, and the eldest clan elder shouted, "Ji Shu! Shameless descendants! Don't get down yet! β
When Ji Shu heard this voice, his expression was grim, and he grabbed the lining of the cushion under him with his backhand, and his fingertips broke all the fine silk lines.
These old things with half a foot in the coffin are not people, they are evil spirits!
They rely on their high seniority, rely on the old and sell the old in the Ji Mansion, sit on the servants of others, use Ji Rong's official position, and give their own children and grandchildren sent to the state capital in one vein, and seek comfortable official positions, while sucking the blood of the lineage, they point fingers at the affairs of the Ji Mansion!
In the last century, the family began to decline, because the descendants of these side branches did all kinds of evil when they were local officials, and it coincided with natural disasters in various parts of Daqin, and the chaos of the army raged and spread to the ears of the emperor.
Her father and mother were foolish, but if it weren't for the pressure that this group of people instilled in them every day, it wouldn't be like this!
Ji Shuteng stood up, Father Ji raised his hand to block her way, gritted his teeth and whispered:
"You stay here!"
After that, he got out of the carriage first, intending to deal with these clan elders alone.
Ji's mother suppressed her crying, hugged Ji Shu and wanted to press her back, and said in an angry voice: "Shu'er, let your father go and say it first, and then you can go to the ancestral hall to admit your mistake, don't be stubborn, my mother begs you." β
Ji Shu looked at her bloodshot eyes and haggard appearance, and his heart was pantothenic.
Outside the carriage, only Ji Rong was seen by the clan elders, and they shouted: "Your unfilial daughter is in the carriage, right?" Our Ji Mansion's face has been lost by her! You're still going to protect her?! β
"Uncles are angry first, this is outside, and the people will see the jokes when it makes a big fuss, let's talk about everything when we go into the house."
Ji Lao Si shouted: "What are you talking about when you enter the mansion!" Who doesn't know that the eldest brother has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, especially for Sister Shu, the sudden thunder is heavy and the rain is small! Once you've entered the house, you'll be fine! β
"Sister Shu is really selfish! After she is fine, the big deal is to go out with her face covered! But I still have three or four unmarried girls! The youngest daughter is only five years old, Sister Shu'er is making such a fuss, how will they get along in the future! Ladies and gentlemen, this matter doesn't make sense, we don't follow it! β
"You don't put it here - nonsense!"
Ji Rong was so angry by Ji Laosi that his face turned pale, "I'll find your girl's marriage for you, now you're satisfied!" β
Ji Laosi's eyes flickered, and he snorted: "Big brother always connives, Sister Shu is so arrogant and ignorant now." β
Ji Shu stepped forward and lifted the curtainββ
"My father is indeed not as good as the fourth uncle's 'good way to teach his son', and three of the three sons failed to make the list, and finally asked my father for it. The children taught by the fourth uncle are 'sensible', and they know who the Ji family relies on to support the lintel. Are you sensible, fourth uncle? You have repeatedly failed the exam for so many years, and you have used this as an excuse to ask the public middle school for money every year, and you should also find your own reasons, have you worked hard for so many years? Why haven't you been admitted to the exam after working hard, have you really taken the exam seriously after more than 30 years? β
Ji Laosi's fat face turned red, and the whole person was like a balled ball, pointing at Ji Shu:
"You, you, Ji Shu, you ......"
Father Ji frowned, although he felt a little comfortable in his heart, but Ji Shu scolded Ji Lao Si for being unruly, and he reprimanded: "It's not for you to stay in the car!" β
Ji Shu stepped out of the carriage, "One person does things and one person bears the burden, what do you have to tell me." β
"Good! So stubborn! No wonder they would do such a degrading thing! β
The old man of the big clan shook his robe, "Just now, I have already asked my ancestors in the ancestral hall!" Ji Shu acted arbitrarily, and the Ji family couldn't tolerate her! Ji Rong, you are the current head of the Ji family, and you will personally describe her name, and you will expel her from the house from now on-"
Ji Rong's teeth were about to be crushed, and just as he was about to speak, Ji Shu said lightly: "There is a pile of spiritual wood on the ancestral hall, which wood has a mouth and tells the clan elder that he is going to expel me out?" β
The old men of the clans jumped with green muscles on their foreheads, and the elders of the big clans said coldly: "The ancestor manifested, how can you, a little woman, know!" β
"The elder of the great clan has seen the ancestor? Then pay more attention to your body, only those who are dying can see the dead and hear the dead speak. β
"Presumptuous! You dare to despise the ancestors of the Ji family! β
"Ji Shu! Stop it! Ji Rong's face was ugly and asked her to stop, and Ji's mother was about to come up to stop her, but Ji Shu took a step forward instead, domineering, and pressed several clan elders alive.
"Why do you want to chase me?"
"You don't keep women's morals! Unauthorized and leave! It has affected the girls of the Ji family to marry in the future! Lost the lintel of the Ji family! Here's why! β
"Seven years ago, there was only one dilapidated house left in Wuding Bofu, and I only reversed the decline after I passed, and I must bow down to myself, who in the market did not praise me, even the Queen Mother said that I was beautiful and wise! You say I don't keep women's morals? Is it the eyes of the world and the queen mother that are clear, or are your cloudy old eyes clear? β
ββ¦β¦β
The elder of the big clan choked his throat, and squeezed out a sentence for a while: "Harmony and separation is not abiding by women's morality, and the world is ...... A woman who does not reconcile and divorce is against the rules! β
"Where does the word come from without harmony? Since the founding of the Great Qin, there have been countless people and divorced women, if it is not in accordance with the rules, why did the first emperor and the previous emperors not punish it? You're not going to say that the emperors were incompetent, are you? β
The elder of the big clan took a few steps back, and his old face turned white with fright, and his cheeks were sunken, like the roots of an old tree.
He patted his thigh and yelled urgently: "Then you are forced to obey your parents!" It's unfilial piety! Unfilial piety is a big mistake! I'm going to chase you! β
Ji Shu Shi Ran took out the bright yellow holy decree from behind him, the clan elders were shocked, and hurriedly bent over, and the clan elders had no one to support, and sat on the ground with a soft fall on their knees.
"This is the emperor's holy decree to me, the emperor allowed me to reconcile, although my parents' lives are high, but they are not as high as the imperial power, is it right for the big clan?"
The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak, and at this moment, several officials came on horseback, followed by a long line, and people dressed as eunuchs carried several mahogany boxes.
The elder of the Ji family hurriedly straightened up and looked, Father Ji mistakenly thought that he was looking for him, stepped forward, and the official sent off the horse to return the salute, "Lord Ji, I am under the emperor's order to give a reward to the county lord of Wenyu." β
Lord Wenyu County?
Father Ji was dumbfounded, the official messenger glanced behind him, walked around him eagerly in front of Ji Shu, and bent down deeply.
"Xia Guan has seen the county lord of Wenyu! In order to commend the county lord for collecting grain for disaster relief and saving the people of Yan'an Mansion, the emperor specially gave you 100 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver. β
"Thank you, sir."
Ji Fu waited silently, and Ji Chengfeng had just arrived on horseback, when he heard such news, his mouth turned into a flower, and he strode forward after dismounting.
"I've become the county lord for a long time!! I'm going to be the county lord's brother in the future?! β
Ji Shuwan, Ji Chengfeng patted her shoulder, and his joyful eyes shifted to the clan elders behind her, and he became cold.
He snorted and asked, "Do the ancestors of the world still want to drive my sister out of the house?" β
"......" no one dares to pick up.
Ji Chengfeng saw that this group of unstoppable old things on weekdays were deflated, and he really wanted to shout cool!! He smiled weirdly:
"Now that the age is old, there is a fate, but all the uncles and ancestors are still white, first talk about the public and then the private, now you all have to kneel down and say a word to the year - the county lord's mother is blessed!"
