Ajiu

Chapter 196 Yes
Mrs. Zhang was suddenly gagged, startled, and subconsciously looked to the side of the road.The young officer was riding a tall horse with shiny hair. It looked like a rare good horse. He himself was even more upright and arrogant. When Zhang met his cold eyes, his back shivered.

In the past, such an officer, Mrs. Zhang, would not have taken it seriously, but now that the title is gone, and all the Fei family members have been expelled from the capital, Mrs. Zhang has no confidence.She avoided the officer's cold and heartless gaze, lowered her head, not daring to make a sound, nor did she dare to reach out to take out the purse stuck in her mouth.

"You're meddling in other people's business!" Mrs. Zhang scolded bitterly in her heart, "You are fighting for the girl of the Jin family, so why would she marry you? That family is very snobbish. If you don't have a good family background, you don't have the title of Marquis , see if the Jin family will pay attention to you!"

Mrs. Zhang really wanted to spit at the officer, but unfortunately, she couldn't do it because her mouth was stuffed.

The officers and soldiers escorting Fei's family out of Beijing saw the officer's attire, and they knew that he was a high-ranking officer and he was not to be provoked.It turned out that the majestic Marquis Fei Xing of Pingliang and others were speechless after being scolded by the soldiers. They were dejected and lost their souls, like a bereaved dog.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang knew something, the young officer didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, put his legs on the horse's belly, shouted, and galloped away.

On the second floor of the tea house along the street, a tall girl with bright eyes and white teeth stood in front of the window with a snow-white face.Originally, I was bored at home and came out to watch the excitement, but who would have heard such thrilling words.That Zhang's voice is very sharp, will many people hear it?Has your reputation been ruined?

There were hurried footsteps on the stairs, and a middle-aged man hurried up, "An'er!" His expression was a little flustered, and his originally elegant and handsome face was slightly deformed.

The girl stood in front of the window without turning her head, and murmured, "I didn't know that I had discussed marriage with that kind of person..." Fei's family was already the laughing stock of the whole capital, and I came to watch the joke in such a bored way. People, but they didn't expect that they would also become the laughing stock of the world.

Jin Tongzheng came to his daughter in three steps and two steps, and persuaded softly: "It's irrelevant. Good girl, she has such an identity. What she said was only heard by the people in the market, and it was not spread at all. In the ears of the wives and wives who live in the deep house. An'er, you believe in Daddy, everything will still be the same as before."

An'er smiled and complained softly, "You didn't even tell me. If I knew, I wouldn't sneak out to watch this excitement, and I wouldn't be so idle." If I knew it was like this, why should I I came here specifically to find Qisheng, are you full?

Jin Tongzheng explained to her apologetically, "It's not settled, it's just that the two elders are looking at each other. If the two families are optimistic and think about each other, how can father hide it from you. An'er, father not only I won't hide it from you, and I'll let you take a look at the child quietly, if you don't like it, father won't agree."

"Daddy loves me." There was a sweet smile on An'er's bright and clean face.

"Silly boy, of course Daddy loves you, you are Daddy's own daughter." Jin Tongzheng said with a smile.

Seeing that his daughter could still laugh, he felt relieved.

An'er bit her lip, and told Jin Tongzheng what she had just seen upstairs, "...Daddy, if you look after me for me, you must be a responsible man. The kind of concealment at the beginning It is really disgusting to cheat the marriage by identity, and useless people who slander the woman if the marriage is not successful."

Jin Tongzheng smiled and nodded, "Good character, responsibility, talent, and of course good looks. The family must be harmonious, and the parents-in-law must be loving. Also, he must be gentle and considerate to my daughter, and be single-minded."

"I don't want that much, as long as he is responsible." An'er's expression darkened, and he shook his head, "Daddy, I'm not greedy, as long as he can protect me from the wind and rain, that's enough."

Daddy, there are only so many men in the world that you are talking about. If it is in the past, it will be fine. You can pick it up slowly, and if you don't guarantee it, you can really meet.But now... there is no impenetrable wall in the world.Even though it was just a marriage discussion, and the date of birth was given, it can be seen that the daughter-in-law's family is very interested. If this matter spreads, there will definitely be many noble ladies who will look at him differently. Don't think about a perfect husband-in-law.

It is enough to be responsible.

When Jin Tongzheng saw that the lively and lovely daughter seemed to have grown up and became sensible all of a sudden, his heart ached.She was supposed to be very naive, but the person who made her fall in love got engaged, and the one who proposed marriage to her was a shameless member of the Fei family. After these two setbacks, An'er is no longer the same as before. Childish, with the appearance of an adult.It is a good thing for a daughter to grow up, but because of such a thing, how can a father not feel distressed.

"He must be responsible! If he dares to be limp and unable to lift it, Dad will fight him desperately!" Jin Tongzheng said through gritted teeth.

An'er was moved, and smiled sweetly, "Father, then you have to pick a frail boy, otherwise, you can't beat him." Jin Tongzheng snorted, "Who wants to compete with him in strength? Naturally, it's a battle of wits." The father and daughter talked and laughed, and walked downstairs slowly.

This storm is over.

After expelling Pinglianghou's family from the capital, Ajiu stood in front of the flower path in the East Palace and sighed, "It's so clear in front of me." Such a family is so unlucky.

"I'm also responsible for this." Thinking of her efforts in it, and the good idea she gave to Brother Ten, Ajiu giggled triumphantly.

She is already the mother of two sons, but she is still young and beautiful, charming and charming.She stood on the flower path, her face was more beautiful than the flowers on the roadside.

Not only delicate and charming, but also a little naughty.A carefree princess, she can be regarded as the most carefree princess in the past.

A beautiful little boy of two or three years old walked over surrounded by palace servants Fu Mu, Ajiu smiled, "Xiao Zhengzheng, you are here. Mother is missing you, come quickly, let's have a good time. "Xiaozheng walked up to Ajiu with dignified and steady steps, "Mother, let's marry a wife!" He raised his face and begged.

Isn't the eighth uncle marrying a wife soon? He wants to go over to join in the fun and watch the eighth uncle marry the eighth aunt into the house with his own eyes.

Xiaozheng really wanted to go to his grandfather's house with his parents and younger brother to see his eighth uncle marrying a wife. The emperor doted on him and almost agreed.However, considering the safety issue, I am still hesitating.How could he rest assured that the crown prince, the crown grandson, and King Lu were leaving the palace at the same time.

Ajiu knelt down and gently persuaded Xiao Zhengzheng, "If we go, we will have to bring hundreds of guards with us. It will be huge and disturbing to the people. Son, let's not go, so that our grandparents don't have to worry about it." It's too much trouble to entertain us."

Xiaozheng was a little displeased, pointed to the little dragon robe on his body, and complained, "It's not good, you can't watch the fun." He also knew that because of this dragon robe, he couldn't go out of the palace to see his uncle marrying his wife. .It's so much fun for an uncle to marry a wife, because I can't look at the dragon robe I'm wearing.

Ajiu smiled at Mimi, "Your status is precious, so you need to be cautious in your words and deeds. Son, every benefit has its burden."

You are so majestic as the grandson of the emperor, but you have to endure the inconvenience brought by your status.For example, if your uncle marries a daughter-in-law, it is inconvenient for you to be there to congratulate you, and the entire Pei family will have to circle around you, so that's okay.In the happy days of your eighth uncle, he and his bride are the protagonists, the focus of everyone's attention, and no one can steal their limelight.

Xiao Zhengzheng was very unhappy, but he was a good and reasonable boy. After Ajiu discussed with him, he decided not to disturb the people, "It's not good to mobilize teachers and mobilize people."

Like a little adult, serious.

Ajiu shines brightly.Xiao Zhengzheng, you used this idiom correctly, it's not a joke.

When several uncles came to visit him in the palace, Xiao Zhengzheng took Eighth Uncle Pei Lin to his room, picked two Hetian jade carvings from the Duobao Pavilion that he thought were beautiful, and solemnly gave them to Eighth Uncle, " One for you, one for eighth aunt."

Xiao Zhengzheng was only two or three years old, and he knew how to give gifts to his eighth uncle who was about to marry a wife.Pei Lin was so moved by him.

"Be happy." Xiaozheng looked at Uncle Ba earnestly, parroting what Ajiu taught him.

"Definitely, definitely." Pei Lin nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Zhengzheng, Uncle Ba will be happy.

In the season of glorious autumn, Pei's mansion on Jiuning Street held a happy event, and Balang Peilin married his new wife Tao Shi into the door.This was the last happy event of the Pei family's generation. Relatives and friends all attached great importance to it and came to congratulate them one after another.On the day of the official wedding, guests from the huge Pei residence came and went, singing and singing, beaming with joy.

An'er originally didn't plan to come to the banquet, but the day before Pei Lin's wedding, she suddenly changed her mind and insisted on attending the banquet at Pei's house.Xiangshi had a headache, "What is there to do at Pei's house?" An'er was stubborn and wanted to go.Jin Tongzheng asked her why in private, An'er said in a low voice: "I just take a look at his back. Dad, I just take a look." Jin Tongzheng has always spoiled her, and he sighed melancholy and agreed. .An'er insisted, Jin Tongzheng supported, Xiangshi had no choice but to take her to Pei's house as a guest.

"Insincere Pei family." On the day when Pei Lin got married, Xiang Shi and An'er arrived at the gate of Pei's house. Xiang Shi raised his head and looked at the two big characters of "Pei Mansion", written by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Big characters, without the slightest respect in my heart.So what?No matter how high you climb at this time, you will fall badly in the future.

Being indifferent and self-satisfied like a teacher is what foreign relatives should imitate.The Pei family, make a little more publicity.

An'er was chatting and joking with a group of girls of similar age, and Xiangshi seemed to have nothing on his mind when he saw his daughter.A big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Sitting with Xiangshi was a grandson-in-law of Duke Wei’s mansion. She had met Chu several times and praised Chu’s appearance and upbringing. That demeanor is really convincing. The bride looks a lot like her, but the mother and daughter are a pair of great beauties, each of them magnificent."

Poor Xiangshi was vomited in his heart, but he still had to be polite on his face, agreeing with a smile, and kept persuading himself to be patient, to be patient...it was very hard work.

"If there was no Pei Balang, she would still be staying in that small remote county right now." Xiangshi thought angrily, "Marrying a daughter to the Pei family will bring a lot of benefits."

Tao Ming was approved by the emperor's Zhubi with the word "excellent" during the official assessment in spring, and was promoted to the Ministry of Officials as a doctor in the Department of Wenxuan.From seventh-rank county magistrate to fifth-rank Lang, Xiangshi felt that he was promoted too quickly, all because of the glory of the princess's natal relatives, but he didn't want to think about it. Based on Tao Ming's political achievements, he was promoted from seventh rank to fifth rank. Just as it should be.

Xiangshi was very disdainful of all the benefits that the Tao family had gained by marrying their daughters, and his anger was pent up in his heart, but the one at the same table talked about Chu's family with relish from time to time, mentioned the eldest lady of the Tao family, and the eighth young lady of the Pei family, and praised the mother and daughter. Get hype.Xiangshi heard it, and felt it was extremely harsh.

Xiangshi reluctantly tasted several dishes with full of resentment, but he couldn't taste them.

What she ate was not delicious food, but resentment.Resentment is hard to digest.

Xiangshi was holding his breath.Originally, her An'er was the girl that wives and wives liked, and she had a bright future.It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang yelled mercilessly and told so many secret things. After this, I met the very sincere and affectionate families of Mrs. Xiang in the past, and I no longer rushed like a pot of fire. Polite and very distant.Obviously, after the rumor came out, they no longer had any interest in An'er.

There are plenty of ladies, they can't afford to be in this mess, it's better to be more cautious and look at the girls better.

Xiang's eyes turned red when he thought about the neglect An'er received, and then heard how much Chu and Tao were valued.

Outside the east gate of the imperial city, two people and a horse stood by the side of the road.Of these two people, one is a middle-aged official, elegant and unrestrained, and the other is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and looks like a servant.

An officer of the guards came home from his duty and passed by here. He saw the middle-aged man and the servant looking at the big black horse with sad faces, and stopped. "Is there anything I can do for you?" He stepped forward and asked politely, cupping his hands.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw that he was dressed as a military officer, "Your Excellency must understand horses, right? For some reason, the servant's horse refused to take a step, and he didn't move even if he was scolded or beaten."

The officer smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke the big black horse's head, and said a few words to him softly, "I persuaded it, and it was willing to go." He raised his head and said with a smile.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

The officer personally helped the middle-aged man onto the horse, led the horse for a few steps for him, and then handed the reins to him, "Go back in a hurry, you should be able to get home safely, and there will be no more trouble."

The middle-aged man thanked him repeatedly, and Fang rode his horse and went slowly.

The young officer looked at his back, his heart pounding.He is Mr. Jin, and there is a precious daughter in his family, who is beautiful and lively, with a very cute temperament. I have seen it before at the banquet in the palace. The little girl is very pure and clear.Such a girl, I have seen one a long time ago, but that one is too noble and unattainable...

The middle-aged man was sitting on horseback, with a smile on his lips, in a happy mood.It seems that what I heard is correct, this child is really a good one.

Two days later, the middle-aged man and the young officer "met" outside the imperial city again, and the two exchanged a few words, and they knew each other.The middle-aged man invited the young officer to drink tea in the restaurant. The young officer declined a few words, but did not insist.

Sit down in the elegant and quiet tea room, pour the tea, the water is dense, and the two drink tea and chat.

"Why is Chen Tongzhi still not married at this age?" Jin Tongzheng seemed to casually mention it.

Chen Lingyun sighed, and told the truth, "My father left early, and my nephew's marriage was not presided over. My aunt always wanted to hire an honest and soft girl with low status as my wife, but I was like a toad who wanted to eat swan meat." , I want to marry a beautiful, generous, well-educated woman. If I can’t marry such a woman, I’d rather stay alone.”

Jin Tongzheng was amused, "Why are men guarding vacant rooms?"

Chen Lingyun was very serious, "It's really a vacant room. To tell you the truth, the family my nephew most envied in my life is the Pei family on Jiuning Street. When I was young, my late father was still there, and I followed him to the ancient city of Gusu , met the Pei family’s uncle and cousins ​​there. The Pei family is very kind and affectionate, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and friends are respectful. I...I wish...Shibo, if I have children, I will Let them be like Uncle Pei's children, so I will really keep an empty room."

Although what he said was a bit stupid, Jin Tongzheng understood it.The Marquis of Linjiang's Mansion was a bit chaotic. He compared the Marquis of Linjiang's Mansion with the Pei family, and he was very envious of the Pei family.He can't help himself, he can't choose parents, but he will make his children happy.

"He is actually a clean man. This is really rare among noble children." The longer Jin Tongzheng and Chen Lingyun sat together, the more satisfied they were with him.

What made Jin Tongzheng even more satisfied was that shortly after drinking tea this time, Chen Lingyun asked the Commander of the Jinwu Guard, Master Tong, to come to propose marriage.Chen Lingyun should have a good relationship with his boss. When Mr. Tong arrived at the Princess Longqing's mansion, he did his job as a matchmaker and praised Chen Lingyun.

Jin Tongzheng received Master Tong politely.Master Tong also knew that the Jin family must discuss it, and they would not be able to give an answer that day. After mentioning it, he sat down and left.

Xiang Shi was greatly surprised, "How can this be done? He is a bastard."

Jin Tongzheng's voice was flat, "I can't make a son of a concubine, but can I have a son of an adulterer?"

Xiangshi was startled, covered his face and wept bitterly.

It was her mistake that caused this situation.In the past few months, no one from the right family has come to propose marriage to An'er...

"If it's his younger brother, that would be great." Xiangshi said weakly, still not giving up.

After all, Chen Lingfeng was the son of the eldest son, he was Lord Hou, so what was Chen Lingyun?

"Ling Yun has always wanted to separate the family, but his mother-in-law, Qiu, refused." Jin Tongzheng asked slowly, "Do you know the reason?"

Xiangshi guessed, "Are you afraid of losing the property?" When the family is divided, Chen Lingyun will always take part of the family property, more or less.

Jin Tongzheng smiled, "Because, the person who supported the Linjiang Marquis Mansion was not Chen Lingfeng, but Chen Lingyun."

Chen Lingfeng was still studying in the Imperial College, who would care about him.On the contrary, Chen Ling had fought tough battles at the border and served as a commander in the guard, so he should not be underestimated.

Xiangshi thought about it carefully, and also admitted that Chen Lingyun, who was slightly better than Chen Lingfeng, had no father and no one to rely on. If he was weaker, how would he gain a foothold in the capital.Alas, it's a pity, if he has this ability and the title of Lord Marquis, it's my favor.

But I don't want to think about it, if Chen Lingyun really has the title of Lord Marquis, how come he hasn't married a wife until now.

"But, concubine, it's always hard for his aunt to disagree with him." Xiangshi felt wronged for An'er, "If it's a concubine, the whole family loves each other, that's fine."

"There are people like this, including the Pei family." Jin Tongzheng said coolly.

Xiangshi was speechless.When it comes to Pei's family, she feels very guilty.

Princess Longqing is a person who has no temper and no ideas, so she naturally listens to her son about her granddaughter's marriage.So far, all members of the Jin family have passed.

In the Marquis of Linjiang, the Qiu family learned that Chen Lingyun was going to marry the only daughter of the Jin family, and strongly opposed it, "You'd better marry someone who is honest and responsible, and live a good life, if you marry someone of this status, you might be mischievous. "

Qiu Shi was really annoyed.It stands to reason that a noble girl from a famous family would look down on him no matter what, but the girl of the Jin family was unlucky, she was once corrupted by that wicked family of the Marquis of Pingliang, and in the end she would bow down to a bastard like Chen Lingyun, it was really maddening.

He is already very shrewd and capable, and if he marries a daughter-in-law with a family background, can he still manage as a aunt?

Chen Lingyun smiled and resorted to his trump card, "I asked the imperial concubine, and she promised to be my matchmaker herself."

Concubine Qiu Gui has been bedridden with illness, and when she heard that Chen Lingyun was expected to marry a good daughter, she insisted on getting up from the sick bed and planning a marriage for him.

Qiu's face was dark.Concubine Qiu Gui is very stubborn. She thinks that Chen Yong saved her mother, so she foolishly wants to treat Chen Yong well and Chen Yong's children well.Because she is a concubine herself, it seems that she treats Chen Lingyun, a concubine, better.

All the men in Xingguo's mansion are useless, the Qiu family can't rely on her mother's family, and the son is still studying, so how can they offend Qiu Guifei and Chen Lingyun again?Finally, reluctantly agreed.

Linjianghou's Mansion and Princess Longqing's Mansion became in-laws.
