Ajiu

Chapter 194
If the emperor was only admiring A-Lian's talent, appearance and temperament back then, now he is more moved by her clarity of heart and perseverance.Growing up in a rich and beautiful place like Pingliang Houfu, talented and beautiful, he once passed by a noble position, but he was able to live in Mingshui for 20 years with a poor county magistrate like Tao Ming without any complaints.In the end, her husband became an upright official loved by the people, and he raised a pair of outstanding children, which cannot be disapproved of.

"It is a blessing to marry a woman like Alian." The emperor recalled the past, his thoughts fluctuated, "If the boss can have such a good wife by his side, how could he...? Even if Alian can't persuade him, he will never Aiding the tyrant to abuse, in order to help him, he resorted to obscene and obscene means that do not appear on the stage."

A good wife is very important to a man.A good wife and husband have few misfortunes, the old saying is true.While the emperor was angry, he ordered Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Officials to find out the fact that Pinglianghou's mansion was able to successfully invite the prince.This happened more than 20 years ago, so it is very troublesome to check.Fortunately, the files of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Officials are well preserved. I found the records of the year and looked through them bit by bit. I found out that at that time, Jing Qi, the son of Princess Songning, was the young minister of Honglu Temple. He wrote it himself. The "verification is correct, it is indeed the eldest son", the Ministry of Officials did not go into the matter, so he reported it, and the Pingliang Hou's request for the establishment of the son was easily approved.

There are usually no twists and turns for the eldest son to inherit the title, unless the person has a bad reputation and bad conduct, then he will be rejected.With enough status and decent character, it is not difficult to become a lord.The Marquis of Pingliang's mansion was able to invite the crown prince smoothly precisely because Fei Yaozu was the first son born to the Marquis of Pingliang.

"Jing Qi, stay in the Northwest for the rest of your life!" The emperor was very angry at the only son of Princess Songning.Originally, Princess Songning begged for many times, the emperor already wanted to let go, and planned to release Jing Qi back in a few years, not to allow him to receive a real job, and to live in Beijing for the elderly.At this time, he changed his mind. Going back to the capital and suffering in the northwest for a lifetime is the punishment this guy deserves.

The Langzhong, the principal, and other important positions who used to be the chief inspector of the Ministry of Officials, are now either dead, or Ding You is at home, because the most important part of this matter is the identification of the identity of the eldest son, and the identification of the identity of the eldest son, It was the responsibility of Honglu Temple, so the emperor did not pursue these people from the Ministry of Officials.However, forget about those who have passed away, and those with Ding You at home will never be allowed to recover.

As for how to deal with the Fei family, the emperor didn't make a decision himself, and left it to the crown prince, "Xiao Shi, let dad see if you have made any progress."

The crown prince was about to express his determination impassionedly, but the emperor stopped him with his hand, "You don't need to tell me what you think or what you plan to do. You just do it, and I will stand by and watch."

Your Majesty, are you going to investigate me?The crown prince received the decree with confidence, bid farewell to the emperor, and left.

The Crown Prince did not discuss this matter with Mr. Pei Ge and other ministers, nor did he summon the Eastern Palace staff because of this matter.

"...The child is not yet full moon, and even the mother and the baby are driven out of the house together?" Ajiu heard such a cruel thing for the first time, and she was so surprised that she couldn't believe it.She looked at Xiao Pingping, who was sleeping soundly, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like if a mother risked her life to give birth to a child, but was ruthlessly abandoned by her husband.

What's more, it was the daughter of his father's savior.The wife's father saved his father and died for it.As for the Marquis of Pingliang, for so many years, it has relied on his father. His father is a veritable head of the family and the person who supports the Marquis of Pingliang.

"This kind of person is not qualified to be a Marquis!" Ajiu raised her eyebrows, "My father is also a Marquis, and it is a great insult to be ranked with someone like him!"

"Little sister is right." The crown prince looked solemn, "He is a first-class marquis. He owns the Marquis Mansion, Fulutian, and Yongyetian. The imperial court pays [-] shi every year, and there are four seasons and eight festivals. The rewards and so on. Junior sister, the imperial court can't use the people's fat and people's anointing to fatten these people."

The young couple exchanged a look in a tacit understanding.

After abandoning his wife and son, the Marquis of Pingliang could not continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Neither of them thought of punishing Mrs. Wang, Marquis of Pingliang, or Wang's illegitimate children.The Wang family is just relying on Marquis Fei Xing of Pingliang, if Fei Xing falls, she will not be able to stand up.To truly punish the Marquis of Pingliang's mansion, it is useless to deal with the Wang family, Fei Yaozu and his ilk, the spearhead must be aimed at the Marquis of Pingliang.

The crown prince sent people from the East Palace to secretly investigate the violations of law and discipline in Pinglianghou's mansion over the years.There are many Hou's houses in the capital that are domineering and few that follow the rules. How many of them can withstand investigation?It is not difficult to obtain evidence against Marquis Pingliang.

Marquis Fei Xing of Pingliang didn't know anything about this, and he was quite interested in discussing his grandson's marriage with his wife, Wang, "The girl from the Jin family is of noble birth, and she is also dignified and generous. Zheng was born in a proper way and is extremely knowledgeable, so the daughter of such a family must not be bad."

Mrs. Wang smiled slightly, "If it weren't for our little treasure's lack of restraint and causing bad things, I really don't want him to get married so early. Lord Hou, we have been away from Beijing for several years, and we didn't come back. I haven't looked at the good girl I've seen yet. If there is a better one, I won't regret it at that time. Marrying a wife is a big event, so we need to be cautious."

Fei Jicai is seventeen, why is Mrs. Zhang so anxious to get engaged to him?It was because Fei Ji was lustful, had an affair with the maid who served him when he was in his hometown, and even got the maid pregnant.Fei Ji acted coquettishly and wanted to let the maid give birth to a child. He was Zhang's only child, and he was too spoiled, so he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to let him.However, if it is true that after having a child from a concubine and then looking for a marriage, the noble daughter of the noble family must not be able to say so.I had no choice but to make an engagement with him early, and it is best to marry him early, so that I can feel at ease.

Mrs. Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with An'er, but she had only returned to Beijing not long ago, and she hadn't seen all the little girls in the capital who were of marriageable age, so she felt regretful.

Marquis Pingliang was startled, "Noble birth, the girl's parents are educated and reasonable, the girl is beautiful, and has a gentle temperament, what else do you want?" Mrs. Wang was not satisfied, "Her father is only a fourth-rank official. Son, what if I meet a girl from a high-ranking official's family again? Lord Hou, civil servants are becoming more and more powerful these days, but how much benefit can a fourth-rank official get? Cabinet ministers, six ministers and nine ministers, are high-ranking officials. "Hearing that, Marquis Ping Liang got a headache, "It's up to you, I don't care."

Wang looked at him contemptuously.This useless man, Kong Kong has grown a good skin, Kong Kong has such a prominent family background, since he was a child, he would say, "It's up to you, I don't care." He just forced the country woman to leave, and he really didn't procrastinate that time.That's right, he already has it in his stomach, so if he doesn't act decisively, it's still plausible.

They were discussing, when Wang's daughter Fei Jiaoniang, who had been married for many years, suddenly returned to the Pingliang Hou Mansion without saying hello.Mrs. Wang was still puzzled, "Why didn't I tell someone in advance? I didn't prepare anything, and I had to order the chef to cook her favorite snacks." When she met Fei Jiaoniang, Wang was really scared. one jump.Fei Jiaoniang's cheeks were flushed abnormally, her eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes wild, as if she was sick, "Sister Jiao, what's wrong with you?" Wang asked worriedly.

"There are people living in the wicker alley." Fei Jiaoniang forgot to even salute and say hello, and looked at Wang in a dazed manner, "A family of four, it looks very affectionate. Mother, she has a daughter who looks very similar to her." Daughter, that girl is engaged to Pei Jiabalang. Her daughter is engaged to Pei Jiabalang."

Fei Jiaoniang's body trembled.

Her husband is only a small county magistrate, but he is married to the Pei family.Her daughter, who will become the concubine's natal sister-in-law...it's terrible.

Marquis Pingliang sat with Wang in a daze.

After a while, Wang stood up abruptly, his face twitching, and he had no demeanor, "Master Hou, you are her biological father, she has to be filial and obeys you! You go and order her to withdraw from the marriage and not allow her family to marry her." The little girl married to the Pei family! Not allowed!"

Marquis Pingliang didn't want to see his original wife, Mrs. Chu, and he didn't even like Alian.Ever since A-Lian returned to Pingliang Hou's Mansion at the age of five, he hadn't seen A-Lian for a year, and when he did, he always had a cold face and was very disgusted.Now let him order A-Lian, he is really not willing to move, "If you have a daughter, you will marry her, will you listen to your natal father and quit?" Ping Lianghou asked Wang impatiently. Shi.

Wang's complexion changed several times, red for a while, white for a while, and blue for a while, and the colors were very rich.She thought for a moment, then sneered, "I don't believe that a scholarly family like the Pei family is willing to marry a wild girl who was born to a poor Jinshi and an outsider girl! I want to tell the Pei family about her life experience, and the Pei family will definitely retire." If this marriage is lost, then I will watch her cry, and watch her cry so painfully!"

Wang's hatred for A-Lian has a long history.

Marquis Pingliang was not very happy, "Why do such things? It's useless, and it's not good." Wang smiled disdainfully, "How can it be useless? If there is no marriage with the Pei family, she will have no support. Going back to a small remote county to suffer again will not hinder us for the rest of my life. If she stays in the capital, she might reveal the past one day, and your reputation and mine will be damaged, and your reputation will be lost."

Mentioning the past, Ping Liang Hou blushed, "She dare not. I am her father, without me, can she have her? No matter how I treat her, she can only be filial to me. She dare not go out and say anything. When she didn't come out of the cabinet, you often said that she had a lot of scheming and you had to guard against it, but after all these years, she hasn't done anything. Ma'am, don't let your imagination run wild. "

"You are her father, but you have never been close to her. How can she not hate you? She was born so beautiful, but you married her to a poor Jinshi. How can she not hate you? She lived a hard life after marriage, you Wealthy and extravagant, but never willing to help her, how can she not hate you? With such hatred, we can't tolerate her, we must act first, knock her down, so that she can't talk nonsense and confuse the public." Wang His attitude is very firm.

Thinking about A-Lian's daughter marrying into the Pei family and living a life that everyone envied, Mrs. Wang found it intolerable.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

The Marquis of Pingliang couldn't argue with her, so he reluctantly agreed, "It's up to you. She and the Pei family, it's good to break up, it's good to break up." If the daughter who was abandoned by him since birth became rich and prosperous, it would really make people sleepless. Afraid of her revenge.It's better to let her break up with the Pei family, and leave the capital An Ansheng, it's good for everyone.

Wang shi smiled slightly, concentrating on it.My family and Pei's family have never had any contact, so it is inconvenient to open my mouth if I take the liberty to visit.Some of Wei Guogong's mansion came to live, or they could use one or two.Duke Wei, that's Pei Balang's grandfather.

Wang ordered someone to post a post at Duke Wei's mansion, asking for an audience.Mrs. Wei Guogong's reply was very polite, "You are very welcome, please come." Although Wei Guogong and Lao Pinglianghou did not have much contact, they cherished each other and respected each other.

When Mrs. Wang arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, she talked with Mrs. Mrs. Wei with a smile on her face. She was about to slander Mrs. Chu's Alian, but she heard Mrs. Wei laughingly saying, "Because my grandfather's beloved grandson has made a marriage, he is very happy. He said that my in-laws have been working in other places before returning to the capital, and they are not familiar with most of the people in the capital, so I often invite my in-laws to my house as guests, and invite relatives and friends to accompany me. Then I thought about it. A few green peonies are blooming well, I want to invite old relatives to sit and enjoy the flowers. If you have free time, please come along."

When Wang heard this, it hit her heart.It is so frustrating to tell Mrs. Wei Guogong alone, why not come here in full dress and reveal her true identity in front of many ladies, wouldn't it be fun?At that time, let's see how she has the face to stay in the capital, and see how she has the face to marry her daughter to the Pei family!
Mrs. Wang seems to have come to visit Mrs. Wei Guogong purely to reminisce about the old days. She sat down, had some refreshments, said some household chores, and then got up to leave.However, before she left, she specifically asked for an invitation card, and Mrs. Wei Guogong of course readily agreed and gave it to her.

On the day when Mrs. Wei Guogong invited guests, Mrs. Wang brought her daughter-in-law Mrs. Zhang and her daughter Fei Jiaoniang here early.Mrs. Wei Guogong organized this party for the Chu family. Apart from the Pei family, the guests were also invited by the Lin family, the Gu family, several ministers in the court, the wives of the ministers, and several dukes and wives. often.Mrs. Wang looked at the identities of the guests present, and was very satisfied.Well, it is to let that wild girl show her shame in front of many noble ladies, and she will never have the face to appear at the feet of the emperor, a place of wealth and debauchery.

Tao Ke is already engaged to a girl, so it's inconvenient to go out, so she didn't come with Mrs. Chu.When Mrs. Chu arrived, Mrs. Wei Guogong ordered the two daughters-in-law to go to the door of the Chuihua. When the two masters accompanied Mrs. Chu in with a smile on their faces, everyone felt their eyes light up.

She was born so beautiful, her light can reflect people.

Standing in the hall with a smile, Mrs. Chu greeted Mrs. Wei Guogong generously and gracefully. Her flowing figure and graceful demeanor looked pleasing to the eyes and greatly enjoyed the eyes.

Sitting together with Wang Shi, Fei Jiaoniang secretly pinched Wang Shi, full of hatred, "This wild girl, how dare she pretend to be like this!" Outside house girl, pretending to be a lady?I'm not ashamed.

Seeing that Alian is as graceful as jade, Wang's heart is also burning with jealousy.He also smiled, and said in a moderate voice: "To tell you the truth, my Lord Marquis once had a daughter who was born in a foreign room. The girl and her birth mother's surname were Chu, and the Fei family would not accept it." Admit her, but refuse to give her a family tree. Well, speaking of which, the girl is also in her 30s this year. I’m afraid her daughter should talk about her marriage and get married. With her daughter’s background, her biological mother is a foreigner. Virgo, it's too pitiful, who would be willing to take it from an innocent family?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Chu contemptuously, "This lady is also surnamed Chu? It's a coincidence, it's the same surname as the girl born in my family's lord's concubine." She smiled all over her face, looking easy-going and friendly, However, the words that were spoken sparked raging anger in people's hearts.

After Wang's words came out, many people were shocked.Is Mrs. Pingliang Hou accusing Mrs. Chu of her identity?However, how can there be such a fair and just scolding, too arrogant.Everyone was surprised by Wang's attitude, but no one was interested in whether Chu was really an outsider.Anyway, Mrs. Chu is the wife of a small county magistrate, and she was not a good match with the Pei family, but now she is even more incompatible, what's the matter.

Mrs. Wei Guogong's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "Since the Fei family refuses to recognize her and give her a genealogy, Mrs. Wang, you don't have to pay attention to her, don't think about her, don't talk about her, right? ?" Pointing to the white jade-colored Jiu Xin Cake on the table, he politely let everyone have a snack.

Mrs. Wei Guogong wanted to change the topic, not to get entangled with this matter with Wang, Wang couldn't help feeling resentful.

A-Lian calmly glanced at Wang Shi, Zhang Shi, Fei Jiaoniang and the others, and slowly took out a piece of yellowed rice paper from her sleeve, "This was solemnly given to me by my mother before she died, it's from her and her ex-husband When we divorced, the reconciliation document written by my ex-husband himself. She said that this reconciliation document should always be treasured, and on the wedding night, I will show it to my husband-in-law so that he can understand my identity. Please forgive me for being rude Today, I would like to ask you all to take a look."

Mrs. Wei Guogong and others read the reconciliation documents. Some people were emotional, some scolded the cold and heartless man, and some people even shed tears, "It's so pitiful." As a normal woman, seeing the original wife who had just given birth was forced to Promising and leaving, the heart is sour and bitter, not a taste.

Wang Shi, Zhang Shi, and Fei Jiaoniang looked panic-stricken and couldn't sit still.Unexpectedly, when she was five years old, the country girl had already died of illness, and before she died, she solemnly handed over the divorce document to her!With this, I want to say that she is an outsider with unknown background, no one will believe it.

Mrs. Wang wanted to leave with Mrs. Zhang and Fei Jiaoniang, but Mrs. Chu stood in front of them coldly, "Mrs. Wang, I only have one thing to ask you: When I was born, my mother was not married to the Marquis of Pingliang. Li. One month after I was born, he married you again, and you soon gave birth to a pair of twins, a son and a daughter, who are only seven months younger than me. Excuse me, your pair are only seven months younger than me Children, are they born in wedlock, or born in adultery?"

Wang Shi had already stood up and planned to escape, but after hearing Chu Shi's words, his face turned ashen, and he slumped on the chair.Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, pointed at Mrs. Chu and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! This is not for fun. If you dare to spread rumors, I will definitely not divorce you!" Fei Jiaoniang's face was as white as a piece of paper, "No, you How could it be only seven months older than me? Impossible, impossible."

From a legitimate daughter to an adulterous daughter, don't want it, don't even want to die.

Mrs. Chu looked at them with a contemptuous smile on her face, telling the past events one by one, from the time when her grandfather saved his life, to when Marquis of Pingliang threw down the letter of divorce, until Mrs. Chu resolutely left the mansion of Marquis of Pingliang .

Mrs. Wang passed out, Mrs. Zhang was also full of shame, Fei Jiaoniang stood there dumbfounded, dumbfounded.

The three of them were all carried out of Wei Guogong's mansion in the end, because they couldn't move their legs or walk.Also, too ashamed to lift my head.

The crown prince spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally found out the bad deeds of the Marquis of Pingliang who seized the land, bought and sold it by force, abandoned his wife, deceived the court, and pretended to be the son of the adulterous son to invite the heir apparent.The censor jointly signed a letter requesting severe punishment. The Crown Prince Nian made great military exploits in the ancestors of Pingliang Hou, so he was given a lighter punishment. He only demoted Pingliang Marquis to Pingliang Bo, fined his salary for one year, and thought about it behind closed doors for a year. in the back.

Uncle Pingliang was in pain.The title passed down from his ancestors was downgraded when he came to him!Uncle Pingliang went to the ancestral hall to bow down and cried a lot, wishing he could commit suicide to apologize.The Wang family has changed from the noble and reserved Mrs. Pingliang Marquis to an unmarried woman who conceived first, and Fei Yaozu has changed from a son to an adulterous son. Both mother and son are so decadent that they can't get out of bed or go out.As for Shizi's wife, Mrs. Zhang, she is really green with regret.Back then, there were more than one or two proposals, so how could he be chosen?Rape!If such a reputation spread, not to mention him, even himself and his son would be ashamed to face others.

Wang's name was deprived of his wife's title due to his failure of morality, needless to say, Fei Yaozu, it is impossible for him to be a son of the eldest son if he has a son who is adulterous, and it is impossible for him to inherit the Pingliang uncle's mansion.

When Mrs. Zhang arrived at this moment, she suddenly woke up: What should Xiaobao do?He is only seventeen, his father is not the son, and of course he is not the grandson, what will he do in the future?
"For marrying a good daughter-in-law, let him have a capable Yue family!" Mrs. Zhang felt that this was the only good way.

"Xiangshi, I have your daughter's birth date, no matter whether you are willing or not, regret it or not, you must marry my son!" Zhang's heart was determined.

If you refuse, don't blame me for being ruthless.Your daughter and girl are from every family, and reputation matters, you know?
Right now, Xiangshi is in a time of panic.Originally, she was only discussing the marriage in the Marquis of Pingliang's Mansion, and there was a shameful scandal in the Marquis of Pingliang's Mansion, so naturally this marriage would not be discussed again.However, she made a mistake and was anxious for a while, and gave An'er's birth date to Mrs. Zhang, lest Mrs. Zhang use it to make a fuss.

For a while, Xiang was worried that Zhang would not give up, and for a while he comforted himself, "Perhaps the Pingliang uncle's mansion will be smooth after this catastrophe? If it can be smooth, you can still marry."

If he can keep his word, Xiangshi is still willing to keep his word.She didn't want to be a person who broke her promise.However, Xiangshi felt sorry for letting her daughter marry a man of this status.

In the end, Xiangshi couldn't hold it anymore, and was extremely panicked, so he told her husband Jin Tongzheng nervously.After Jin Tongzheng listened, his face sank like water.
