Ajiu

Chapter 18 The girl from the Xu family

Being able to walk is a big deal for a baby who has long enjoyed blowing bubbles, gnawing fingers, and even gnawing feet. "It has epoch-making significance!" Ajiu thought happily while walking happily.

She wobbled and wobbled very unsteadily when she walked, which made people's hearts hang at the first glance.Lin Youhui looked at her intently, and encouraged with a smile, "Our little Ajiu can walk, that's great!" Ajiu knew her kindness, and raised her head courteously despite her busy schedule, and gave her a big smile.

After laughing, he leaned his body sideways and rushed forward with excitement!

Second Master Pei was startled, quickly put down the scroll, got up and got off the couch.Ah Jiu, good girl, why are you walking sideways?Not stable, will fall!

Second Master Pei walked a few steps quickly, and helped Ajiu before she was about to fall.

Ajiu threw herself into his arms happily, raised her small face and smiled at him, showing a few white teeth, her appearance was extremely cute.Second Master Pei's heart was soft and soft, and he reprimanded softly: "Why do you lean sideways while walking? My dear daughter, you must be stable so you won't fall."

Ajiu smiled and nodded, saying "I see".Of course I know that my body needs to be steady when I walk, but I am still young and my body functions are not coordinated.

Easy to know but difficult to do, easy to know but difficult to do.

Lin Youhui also walked over slowly, squatting beside her husband with a smile, "Our little Ajiu sometimes walks very well, but sometimes waddles like a duckling."

Like a duckling?Embarrassed, I don't even walk the road, I don't have the face to meet people.

Ajiu stretched out two small hands embarrassingly, covering her face.

Her face is small, not as big as her father's palm.Her palms were even smaller, and she tried to cover her face with both palms, but she didn't cover her face tightly.

"My little Ajiu is shy!" "Look how busy my daughter is!" Her parents smiled softly when they saw the appearance of their precious daughter, full of tenderness.

A little girl who is only one year old, with white skin like milk, and big black and round eyes, she is cute enough without talking or acting, not to mention she is shy and embarrassed right now?
The hearts of Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui almost melted.

When the results of the palace examination came out, everyone in the Pei family was delighted from top to bottom.Prefect Pei stroked his beard in relief, Mrs. Fang's smiling eyebrows were curved, Mrs. Gu was the happiest, and she shed tears of joy.

"Ajiu, baby, half of what you said is not bad, it's too accurate!" Mrs. Gu picked up little Ajiu, boasting again and again with a smile on her face.

Ajiu was very proud and looked up to the sky and laughed.Miss Pei Jiajiu, a fortune teller, a fortune teller!
The Pei family is happy everywhere, everyone is smiling, even Pei Wei, who has always been mature, becomes mischievous.He leaned in front of Ajiu, and asked attentively, "My sister has such a good eye, why don't you also take a look for my elder brother, and see when elder brother will be able to win the gold list, and what is his ranking?"

You didn't even pass the examination as a scholar. Let me see for you when you can become a Jinshi?Want to see the ranking?I really think I am a magic stick.Ajiu rolled his eyes at him, and pulled his little nose in disgust.

The crowd burst into laughter.

For Uncle Pei's victory, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends who came to congratulate him.Ah Jiu was an out-and-out home girl in her previous life, but in this life she has transformed into a sociable kid.She likes meeting guests from various families by Lin Youhui's side very much. When Lin Youhui was talking with the guests in a gentle and polite manner, she watched and listened with great interest.

The more she watched and listened to, the more she knew about the customs of this era.

This era requires women to be docile and virtuous. However, the requirements are requirements, some people can do it, some people can't; some people are willing to do it, and some people are not.Ah Jiu saw all kinds of people and heard all kinds of remarks, and found it very interesting.

On this day, Ajiu met Lin Wu who came to congratulate and thank her.Lin Youhui received her politely and called her "Mrs. Wu".

Mrs. Wu is in her 30s, with regular facial features, and looks gentle and amiable.This is the plaintiff in the concubine case that Prefect Pei and Second Master Pei had discussed.

In the end, the Wu family could not withstand the pressure from the clan, natal family, and son, and withdrew the case.Because she sued her husband, her husband's family was very angry, "A stupid woman who is confused and ignorant of things! She only knows how to be jealous, but she doesn't understand the general situation at all!"

Not only her husband's family scolded her, but even her mother's parents didn't think so, and tried to persuade her, "No matter how bad he is, he is still your husband-in-law and the father of three children! If you sue him, what will you do, three children what to do?"

The sons were annoyed at their father's ruthlessness at first, but after Mrs. Wu went to the yamen to hand over the certificate, they began to turn to their father again, "He has no choice but to be forced by the Jin family. It's not my father's fault, it's all the Jin family's fault." good."

Lin and Jin saw that Wu was not easy to bully, so they also changed their words: Wu was regarded as the daughter-in-law of the first wife, and she was a sister-in-law;

I don't dare to be as arrogant as before, and I don't dare to mention Wu's inferiority to Jin's and call Jin's "sister-in-law".

With these words, Wu's anger calmed down a little.

Lin still has his old mother in the church. Lin's mother is withdrawn and has made things difficult for Wu over the years.Since Mrs. Wu is regarded as the daughter-in-law of the big house, Mother Lin will no longer serve her. From now on, this difficult mother-in-law will be filial to Mrs. Jin.

The clan and her natal family negotiated and negotiated, and it was finally agreed: the property of the two houses will be divided into three shares, and the Wu family and the three sons will get two shares, accounting for the majority.

The property can be divided more, the difficult mother-in-law can be pushed out, and she doesn't have to be a sister-in-law, Wu Shi carefully weighed it and nodded.She didn't really want to fall out with her husband, after all, the three sons were still young and were still being raised by the Lin family.

If you really want to force your husband to divorce the Jin family, how can Mr. Jin not hold a grudge?The husband's official career was hopeless, and the three sons lost their official fathers.

Wu's father, Wu's mother, and Lin's mother both claimed that "when they proposed marriage back then, they were concubines. Lin Wu was young and ignorant at that time, so he didn't know it." Wu bowed his head silently and acquiesced.

If it was as Prefect Pei said, Mrs. Wu couldn't stop her heart and changed her words.

However, Mrs. Wu did not complain in vain. She has regained some status (sister-in-law, not sister-in-law), a lot of family property (more than [-]% of the family property), and sent out a big trouble (difficult to deal with) mother-in-law).

It may be difficult for Wu Shi to have affection with her husband anymore, but she still has a husband in name.She and Lin are still husband and wife, and they will still be called "Mrs. Lin" when they go out.

Mrs. Wu brought her youngest son, three-year-old Lin Mingtang, with him.Different from Wu's gentleness, Lin Mingtang, who was young and handsome, tightly pursed his lips with a stubborn face.

Although he was still his father's son, his father left with a young and beautiful woman and went to the capital, leaving him, his mother, and brothers behind.Such things certainly have an impact on children, and they have a great impact.

"A child with an unhappy family." Ajiu looked at him sympathetically.

Mrs. Wu said her words of thanks with a humble expression, "...If it hadn't been for Prefect Pei to uphold justice, I would not be where I am today..." Lin and Mrs. Jin were very arrogant at the beginning, until Prefect Pei told them clearly that "it can be judged." Divorce", they panicked and kept making concessions.Only then can the Wu family change from "sister-in-law" to "sister-in-law", get rid of her mother-in-law, and get more property.

Lin Youhui bowed slightly, and said politely: "Where, the father-in-law is just reporting to the father-in-law." No matter who the plaintiff is or who the defendant is, the father-in-law will report to the father-in-law to deal with it.The old man will not pay attention to the affairs of the master Jin who is related to the nobles in the palace.

Lin Mingtang heard his mother thank you in a humble tone, embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes.

He bowed his head sadly.

If it wasn't for his father's change of heart, if it wasn't for the hateful Jin family, why would mother be like this?

When Lin Mingtang raised his head again, what caught his eyes was a little girl with a smile like a flower.The little girl was about a little over a year old, with a small face sculpted in pink and jade, smiling sweetly.

Why are you so happy!Lin Mingtang was very dissatisfied with the little girl.

People who are unlucky always feel uncomfortable when they see people who are laughing or proud.

However, the little girl's eyes were dark and lively, shining with joyful light, which made it hard to hate.Lin Mingtang took a few glances at her quietly, and had to admit that this is a very likable little girl.

Lin Youhui entertained Mrs. Wu politely, and talked with her for a long time in a gentle and modest manner, but did not invite her to have a banquet.As for the congratulatory gift she sent, he also politely asked her to take it back, "my father doesn't allow it, please be considerate."

Wu Shi murmured, "It's just a small gift, let's talk about my heart", Lin Youhui smiled sweetly, "I accept it." The gift still refused to accept.

Lin Mingtang blushed.

Although there were so many embarrassments, when Lin Mingtang left the back house with his mother Wu, he still felt reluctant to part with him.What is it that you are reluctant to part with?A clean hall, a courteous host, delicious refreshments, or the bright spring scenery in the house?
unknown.

Lin Youhui inevitably mentioned Wu to his sisters-in-law afterwards, "From now on, she will have a husband as if she had no husband. It's a pity." Lin and Jin have already set off for Beijing. I was thrown into limbo, so I ignored it.

Mrs. Gu was kind-hearted, and sighed for Mrs. Wu, "If you meet someone who is not good, you will be lucky." Mrs. Xu smiled, "This Mrs. Wu doesn't count, it's so bad. As long as you only need two family properties, you can put them away." Lin and Jin, a man and a woman, let them go lightly."

No matter what, Mr. Jin is still a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Officials. If Mrs. Jin is sentenced to divorce Lin, where will Mr. Jin feel?It's really stupid for Mrs. Wu not to take advantage of this opportunity to pay Mrs. Jin more money.You know, the Jin family was originally an outsider, and it was difficult to marry. If she divorced again, her life would be over.

Xu expressed contempt for Wu's approach.

Lin will not completely ignore his sons in the future, but it will definitely be much worse than before.The children are all fatherless, mother, why don't you earn more money for them and fight for more benefits?Who are you being polite to at this moment, stupid.

Ajiu looked at the disdainful expression on the third aunt Xu's expression, and she couldn't feel it.

The third aunt is very interesting.In the Xu family of Duke Wei's mansion, there used to be interesting girls.

As we all know, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty took the throne from his nephew Emperor Jianwen.When Emperor Taizong approached the city and was about to attack the palace, Emperor Jianwen panicked and wanted to escape.

Emperor Taizong's queen was surnamed Xu, and she came from Wei Guogong's mansion. She had a younger sister named Xu Miaojin.Xu Miaojin did not support her brother-in-law Emperor Taizong, she supported the person who originally sat on the throne, Emperor Jianwen.

Xu Miaojin told Emperor Jianwen, "Just sit on the golden palace and don't move, and see what your uncle can do to you when he comes."

The idea is interesting and useful.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jianwen didn't listen to her and ran away secretly.

After Emperor Taizong knew about this, he admired Xu Miaojin's talent very much. After the death of Empress Xu, who was known for being virtuous, he proposed to Xu Miaojin repeatedly, hoping to make his sister-in-law his successor.

Xu Miaojin refused, the queen, she refused to do it.

Finally, Xu Miaojin became a nun.She would rather be a nun than marry Emperor Taizong.

"Miss from the Xu family, it's interesting." Ajiu really wanted to express her feelings like this, but unfortunately, she could only think about it in her heart, but couldn't express it.

She can't say the whole thing yet.
