Ajiu

Chapter 28 Responsible
The Marquis of Linjiang sent someone back to the capital quietly to inquire about the news. Sure enough, Mrs. Qiu lived in seclusion and regularly invited doctors into the mansion to ask for a pulse. It seemed that she was raising a baby.Moreover, her clothes have not been taken to the laundry room in the past few months, and the personal maid has washed them herself.

Her maid went to Sian Chay Pharmacy to grab the medicine, and the pharmacy staff said, "It's for miscarriage".

There are various indications that Qiu Shi should be really pregnant.

Both Ye Zhen Zhen and Lin Jiang Hou felt cold in their chests.

If she accidentally gave birth to a son... Ling'er would have nothing.There is no hope of being the son of the world, no hope of being the prince's companion, and no hope of becoming a great success.

Ye Zhen Zhen wished she could spread her wings and fly back to the capital to prevent Qiu Shi from giving birth to her unborn baby.However, she didn't dare to go back. She still remembers Qiu's calmness and ferocity when he betrayed her.

She was afraid that she would be handed over to the clan by Mrs. Hou as soon as she stepped into Linjianghou's mansion, and she would end up miserable.She was sold to the most indecent place, and this experience cannot be erased.

Only an idiot like Lin Jianghou would believe her innocence.The tribe, the patriarch, and Mrs. Tai all looked at her with disdain, wishing to sink her into the pool.

"What should we do?" Ye Zhen Zhen looked at Lin Jianghou helplessly, her eyes were sad and hopeless.

"There is no unparalleled road." Linjiang Hou comforted softly, "Maybe she is not pregnant, maybe she will give birth to a daughter, Ah Zhen, think about the good."

Ye Zhen Zhen had no choice but to sigh softly, "I hope so."

The birth of some children is blessed, such as Ah Jiu.Everyone in the Pei family rejoiced at her birth, and she brought laughter and joy to the family.

Some children, when they were still in their mother's womb, were rejected and unpopular by their fathers.The father does not look forward to the birth of this child, lest he stand in the way of another.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Tianqing, Mrs. Qiu, the wife of the Marquis of Linjiang, gave birth to a seven-month-old premature baby boy.

The Marquis of Linjiang finally had a son and a legitimate heir.

When the news reached Suzhou, the faces of Marquis Linjiang and Ye Zhenzhen turned ashen. "Qiu Shi, she really has a son." Lin Jianghou said in a daze.

The birth of his son-in-law shattered all his dreams.

Ye Zhen Zhen was as disappointed as he was, but more pragmatic than him, "Master Hou, quickly make a plan for Ling'er! Madam has a son-in-law, so she will show no mercy to him."

There is Concubine Qiu in the palace, and the Qiu family has her own son, how can she show mercy to the eldest son?Chen Lingyun is in danger.

The Marquis of Linjiang was at a loss, "Send Ling'er to join the army?"

The Chen family still has some contacts in the army, but the Qiu family does not.Sending Chen Lingyun to join the army, maybe Chen Lingyun made military achievements, and the Qiu family dared not touch him.

"Joining the army is too hard." Ye Zhen Zhen refused without thinking.I worked so hard to give birth to Ling'er, could it be that I sent him to die on the battlefield?

"Send it to the academy?" Marquis Linjiang frowned, thinking of another way.

Joining the army is indeed hard work, and the swords and guns have no eyes, so it is not safe.Let Ling'er study at all. Ling'er is smart, and it's good to take the imperial examination.

"Children of the Hou family, what books are you reading?" Ye Zhen Zhen frowned.

The Marquis of Linjiang thinks about it too. The sons of the Duke's family either hang out in the near army and spend their days leisurely, or go to the horse station and do nothing. Those who are motivated will go to the border to make meritorious deeds, and those who study and take the imperial examinations are really rare. And less.

"I have no idea." Lin Jianghou said helplessly.

This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work, what do you say.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled slightly, "Madam has a son-in-law, and the Qiu family is gaining momentum, let's stay in Suzhou for a while before we make plans. Lord Hou, Ling'er is a concubine, if you can't count on Linjiang Hou's mansion, then give it to me." How about he make a good marriage and entrust him to the Yue family?"

"Good idea!" Marquis Linjiang agreed deeply.

Seeing that all the original plans had come to nothing, and Ling'er was no longer destined for the title, if he returned to the capital, even if the Qiu family didn't tell Ling'er of disobedience, he would be restrained and immobilized.That being the case, I won't go back to the capital for the time being, I can't take care of my son's full moon and hundred days.

The Marquis of Linjiang reconsidered the future of his eldest son.

In the autumn of the same year, Wei Guogong swore an oath in the capital and led an army of [-] to attack Beiyuan.This will be an arduous battle. Luo Lihan, the new owner of the Northern Yuan Royal Court, is as brave and tough as a tiger and wolf, and it is very difficult to deal with.

"Father-in-law said, it's just an ordinary battle, so don't worry about him." When the news reached Suzhou, Mr. Pei worried that his wife would worry day and night, so he tried to comfort her.

Xu smiled, "I have been used to it since I was a child, and my father often played in battles."

The family members of generals are stronger than ordinary women.Father and brother must lead troops to fight from time to time, and if the female relatives only cry and worry, it is purely incompetent and useless.

Third Master Pei recalled the situation when he saw Duke Wei, and he was very puzzled.Although the father-in-law said that it was an ordinary battle, there was no need to worry, but his eyes and expression were full of desolation. Could it be that this battle is difficult to fight?very difficult?

"I can't say it, the lady will be worried if I say it." Mr. Pei had no choice but to keep this in his heart.

The three brothers Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin were all very happy when they heard that their grandfather, General Pei Yin, was going to fight.

Looking at the excited sons, Mr. Pei suddenly had an idea.

When he found a place where no one was around, he quietly asked Ajiu, "Your third aunt's father led the army to fight Beiyuan, sweet girl, can he win the old man?"

Ah Jiu was playing with a rag doll, when she heard this, she raised her head and stared at him with wide eyes.Third father, I... I am not a prophet...

Mr. Pei's eyes were a little uneasy, but also full of hope.Ajiu rolled her eyes, tilted her head and pretended to think for a moment, then Fang smiled brightly and nodded cheerfully, "Yes."

Can I know?However, let me coax you first and let you feel comfortable for a few days.

I hope I can win.

Third Master Pei excitedly picked up Ajiu and threw her high into the air, "Good girl, little lucky star!" Ajiu said yes, father-in-law will win the battle!
Ajiu giggled, but there was a guilty conscience in the smile.Well, third father, I am very patriotic, I hope Duke Wei can expel the Hulu and return in triumph, but this is just my ideal...

If there is a slight discrepancy from the facts, we will not be responsible and will not be responsible.

Ajiu lived a comfortable life.She is more than one and a half years old, not only is her walking more stable, but also her speech is becoming more and more clear. From time to time, she pops out a whole sentence, childish and childlike, which is very interesting.

Prefect Pei has a rigorous temperament, and all official affairs are recorded in detail and accurately. "Write it down for Ajiu." Prefect Pei returned home, holding his little granddaughter and smiling, "Write down all our little Ajiu's children's words, and when Ajiu grows up, show her."

Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui both thought it was a good idea, responded positively, and made a special booklet, and when they encountered Ajiu said something funny or did something interesting, they recorded it in smooth and round calligraphy.

"It's unfair to favor one over another." Mrs. Fang laughed at her husband.We have grandsons and granddaughters, why is it that only Ajiu has this kind of treatment?

"The grandson will be part of Pei's family all his life, but when Ah Jiu grows up, he will marry into someone else's family." Prefect Pei sighed, "Ma'am, we will keep her until she is sixteen or seventeen at most."

When Ah Jiu gets married, wouldn't grandpa and grandma feel lonely?Flipping through the booklet is also a thought.

Mrs. Fang became nervous, "If you mention this, I want to show Ajiu my little son-in-law early! Master, Ajiu has to marry someone who knows everything, and he has to be close to us. My little son-in-law needs to be handsome, elegant, obedient, and talented..."

Prefect Pei's face darkened, "I'll think about it in 16 years."

Such a sad thing, let's talk about it later.

Mrs. Fang nodded, "What the master said is true."

Grandmother and grandfather are the same, reluctant to part with Ah Jiu.

Prefect Pei is a clean official who cares about people's livelihood.Ajiu grew up in the back house of the government office, and she has learned a lot about the legal system of this era and is also very interested.When Taishou Pei was adjudicating cases in the government office, Second Master Pei would often go to help, and Ajiu would pester his father to go with him.

Second Master Pei doted on his daughter to the point of being unreasonable, even if a little girl less than two years old wanted to attend the trial, he was willing to agree.

Ajiu sat obediently in the back hall, and she didn't make a sound when the case was being tried in the front. Prefect Pei didn't even know that there was a little granddaughter sitting behind.

However, Ajiu can't listen to any case. Mr. Pei would not take her to the decency case or homicide case. Civil disputes such as brothers' property disputes are fine.

"Brothers are still fighting!" After hearing the case, Ajiu scratched her little nose, expressing her incomprehension.

"One is more stupid than the other, and they don't know how to settle accounts." Second Master Pei smiled, "There is not much property in total, three walnuts and two dates, is it worth it? It doesn't count, except for the money for inviting the master and the envoy fees in the yamen , How much can I lose? I lost my brotherhood in vain.”

"Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits cut through gold." For some family property, the brothers turned their faces, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Ajiu repeatedly nodded her head in agreement.

In this era, there are also litigation costs. The cost is not low.This property dispute lawsuit is quite meaningless.

"Our family is so nice, we don't quarrel." Ajiu giggled.

The brothers of the Pei family are very friendly and will not fight each other.
