"This is an ancestral hall, everyone who has nothing to do with it should leave," Earl Zhongqin shouted angrily.
All the servants retreated obediently, closing the door of the ancestral hall before leaving.
Ms. Yuan cried and cried, "Master, why are you just a little girl in front of so many people?"
Earl Zhongqin's Mansion, who was offering incense to his ancestors. Hearing this, he turned around and stared at Mrs. Yuan angrily, gritting his teeth.
"You stupid woman, do you really think that I don't know what your plans are?"
Madam Yuan also tried to quibble, "Isn't it because I want to unjustly accuse me to death? I am a mother-in-law's supervisor." What's wrong with my daughter-in-law?" Earl Zhongqin snorted coldly, "How can I discipline my daughter-in-law and only see you discipline Hua Lan all day long, but not your niece?"
Yuan Madam Yuan was at a loss for words, but before she could quibble, Count Zhongqin shouted angrily, "Do you know where this ancestral hall is?"
Madam Yuan was startled and trembled.
“This is the place where my Yuan family worships the heroes and spirits of our ancestors. Back then, our ancestors followed Taizu in the north and south, and that was how they got the title of Uncle Zhongqin, the founding uncle of the country. , my grandfather was deprived of his title earlier due to his involvement in the big scandal. Although he was later rehabilitated, the Earl of Zhongqin's palace was left in the cold and he became a down-and-out noble. Although our descendants are unworthy, they dare not forget it for a moment and want to restore the glory of our ancestors. "< /p>
Earl Zhongqin’s voice echoed in the ancestral hall, making Mrs. Yuan’s eardrums numb and her whole body trembling.
Earl Zhongqin pointed at Mrs. Yuan and said angrily, "Yesterday Wen Shao told me that he met Marquis Jinghai at the Sheng family and had a great conversation. Our sister Zhuang also met Jinghai. Miss Hou has become a handkerchief. This is a great thing that cannot be asked for. I never thought that you, a jealous woman, would do such a stupid thing. Do you really think that I dare not divorce you?"
< p>For the Xungui family, the prosperity of the family is the first priority, and everything else must come second. Previously, he could turn a blind eye to Mrs. Yuan because of the small door of the Sheng family. Xiao Hu, there is no help to Earl Zhongqin’s Mansion.But things are different now. Sheng Changbai has won the trust of the officials. He was promoted to the fourth rank at a young age. It is said that he will be promoted to the fourth rank soon. Sheng Minglan married into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and also married Jing. Mrs. Haihou loves her sisters. The Sheng family has become a force that cannot be ignored in Bianjing City. He can no longer sit back and ignore it.
I originally thought I would talk to Mrs. Yuan soon, but something like this happened today. How could Earl Zhongqin not be angry?
Mrs. Yuan was frightened. Suddenly she collapsed on the ground. Her natal family was in decline. If she was really divorced, how would she see anyone in the future?
"Master, you can't divorce me. I gave birth to children. When the Yuan family was in decline"< /p>
Earl Zhongqin shouted angrily, "That's enough. If it weren't for these feelings, you could still be your Earl's wife here safely. But from now on, if you dare to talk about Wen Shao again, I will summon the elders of the clan and open an ancestral hall to divorce you." After speaking, Earl Zhongqin waved his sleeves and walked away. Yuan DaThe lady collapsed on the ground, trembling with fear.
On the carriage in Jinghaihou Mansion, there was another scene.
Sister Lan was talking and laughing with Sister Zhuang, while Hua Lan was worried that she had offended her mother-in-law today, and she didn’t know what kind of punishment she would suffer when she went back.
Finally arrived at Jinghaihou Mansion, Sister Lan took Sister Zhuang to the backyard. Along the way, Sister Zhuang saw lush green trees, scorching exotic flowers, and clear streams along the way. It twists and turns under the stone gaps. A few steps further, gradually towards the north, it is flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides and withered embroidered sills, all hidden among the trees in the mountain col. Looking down, you can see the clear stream flowing with snow, the stone steps piercing the clouds, the white stone railings surrounding the edge of the pool, the three ports of stone bridges, and the beast's face holding vomit in its mouth. It is a prosperous scene.
This was the first time Hua Lan came to Jinghaihou Mansion. Seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but secretly gasped. She originally thought Chengyuan was grand enough, but compared with Jinghaihou Mansion , but it’s down a notch.
"Mother, Aunt Minglan, look who I brought here." Sister Lan's voice reached the house before her son arrived.
The corner of Yu Yanran's mouth twitched. How could a rich and noble girl be so arrogant? Her gene for teaching others was about to start again.
Minglan looked at Hualan with some surprise, "Sister Hualan, why are you here too?"
Hualan smiled bitterly and asked the person who had just been at Earl Zhongqin's Mansion. Things have been said once.
Sister Lan thought she was praising her, with a look like "I'm really awesome", which made Hua Lan dumbfounded. < /p>
She knew that her daughter-in-law would not get anything good if she offended her mother-in-law. When she first married into the Qin family, she was worried for a while, but later she discovered that Mrs. Qin Liu was so busy that she hit the back of her head every day. He was relieved that he had no time to trouble her.
Hua Lan touched Sister Lan's little head, shook her head and said softly, "Sister Lan is also a hot-blooded person, but my mother-in-law is really..."
In front of Yu Yanran , it’s not easy for her to criticize her mother-in-law.
Minglan took Hualan's hand and said, "Sister Hualan, you were married into a high family, and you just suffered some injustices in the past. But now, the Sheng family is no longer what it used to be. Mrs. Yuan will never marry again." If you are so mean, don’t just tolerate it. It’s not easy for us women to survive in this world. If we are miserable all our lives, what’s the point of living?”
When she was in Sheng Mansion, Hua Lan was not what she is now. She has the style of an eldest sister. When Ru Lan and Mo Lan bully Minglan, she will stand up and seek justice. Minglan also remembers her kindness.
Hua Lan cried silently after hearing this. She did not want to live like this, but in such a feudal system, filial piety must be strictly followed. What can she do?
At this moment, Sister Lan suddenly ran outside with her short legs.
"Dad."
"Oh, I received Sister Zhuang's sonNo." Qin Hao picked up his daughter.
Sister Lan giggled and showed off to Qin Hao, "I got it. Inside, I also picked up Aunt Hualan. ”
Qin Hao walked into the room with his daughter in his arms. He saw Hua Lan’s eyes were red and the handkerchief in his hand was wet. He knew something must have happened, so he asked his daughter.< /p>
Sister Lan vividly recounted what happened in Earl Zhongqin's mansion. She was so proud that Yu Yanran wanted to snatch her away from Qin Hao and give her a lesson. " You are still laughing, this girl is so spoiled by you that she can't help but love you. "Yu Yanran said angrily.
Qin Hao did not argue with Yu Yanran, but said to Hua Lan, "I will make an appointment with Brother Yuan later, and we will go to the temple fair together. "
Hua Lan said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Lord Marquis. ”
The happiest person is Sister Zhuang. Preferring boys over girls was a common phenomenon in ancient times. In addition, Yuan Wenshao was busy with his affairs and rarely had the opportunity to get close to her. She saw her little sister Sister Lan was so close to Qin Hao, and she was still very envious in her heart.
Qin Hao then asked Buqi to go to the front office of the palace to look for Yuan Wenshao. Speaking of which, Yuan Wenshao was quite capable, Earl Zhongqin. The government had been defeated long ago, and it was not easy for him to get the position of Yuhou, the general in front of the palace. It was not easy to have the opportunity to meet the official family.
At this time, Yuan Wenshao was working as an errand in the front department. , although the rank of General Yu is a low-level military position, it can be exempted from the hard work of standing guard, and it can be regarded as a staff position.
Suddenly, a subordinate came to report, "Master Yuan, someone from the Jinghai Marquis Mansion is here. I've asked the villain to take the message and invite you to visit me after you leave your job. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace looked at Yuan Wenshao with surprise. Yuan Wenshao was also extremely surprised when he heard this.
"Can you tell me anything?"
The subordinate shook his head, Yuan Wenshao was still in a state of confusion, and his colleagues around him had already surrounded him.
"Okay, you are usually so quiet, but you are actually here. Such a big backer."
"Tsk, Jinghai Marquis invites you to visit me. Brother Yuan will become famous in the future, but don't forget us brothers. ”
After a while of greetings, Yuan Wenshao asked for leave from his boss and rushed to Jinghaihou Mansion. Although he didn’t know what it was about, he knew it was a good opportunity. From the look in his boss’s eyes, You know how important it is to connect with Marquis Jinghai for his future career.
Under the leadership of his subordinates, Yuan Wenshao came to the front hall. At this time, Qin Hao and Yu Yanran were already there. After waiting here, Sister Lan pulled Sister Zhuang to Yuan Wenshao.
"Uncle Yuan, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. "
As soon as Yuan Wenshao was about to accuse him, Yu Yanran said to him, "Ignore this girl, she is spoiled by her father. ”
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Since Brother Yuan is already here, let's set off."
Three carriages set off from Jinghaihou Mansion to Daxiangguo Temple.
On the carriage at the back, Yuan Wenshao asked Hua Lan, "The Marquis of Jinghai asked me to come over and tell you what happened. Why are you here?"
Hua Lan sighed After taking a breath, he recounted what happened this morning. Yuan Wenshao's expression changed upon hearing this.
"How could mother act like this? We finally had the opportunity to have a good relationship with Marquis Jinghai. Didn't you see that my colleagues and superiors were all very excited when they heard that Marquis Jinghai sent someone to invite them? What an expression."
Hua Lan's heart moved. "Logically speaking, as a daughter-in-law, I shouldn't criticize my mother-in-law, but this is related to my husband's future. What happened today is thanks to Qin Hou. In my heart, if I meet someone who is petty, I might think that we look down on them, so we are not getting close but instead are becoming enemies."
Yuan Wenshao fell into silence, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said, "I will go back home. Tell your father, let’s live in separate houses, and you won’t have to be punished by your mother in the future.”
In fact, Yuan Wenshao is not unaware of his wife’s grievances, but it is inevitable that the family will be separated while his parents are still alive. I think he is unfilial. Now that we have this opportunity, I believe my father will agree.
Hua Lan looked at her husband with surprise in her eyes. If it was true, then her hard life would be over.
Outside the Daxiangguo Temple, it was very lively. The shops along the street had set up their stalls on both sides of the road. There were also many roadside stalls and performers, which attracted a large number of people to stop and watch.
Sister Lan was so excited that she clapped her hands and pulled Sister Zhuang to lie on the carriage window to watch the new things. This was the first time for Sister Zhuang to see such a lively scene. She, who had always been quiet, Their faces were all red with excitement.
"Dad, I want to eat Grandma Cao's meat pie." Sister Lan's mouth was almost drooling.
Qin Hao pinched his daughter's chubby face lovingly and said, "No, go buy meat cakes."
Sister Lan also told her, "Buy a few more. Sister Zhuang has definitely never eaten it, and her younger brother, mother, and Aunt Minglan also like it."
Qin Hao looked at Yu Yanran with a smile, "Look, my daughter remembers you. , don’t scold her all the time in the future.”
Yu Yanran pursed her lips, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
Soon, Granny Cao’s meat cakes were bought, and Qin Hao asked someone to give one to Minglan and Hualan who were behind.
Minglan ate it deliciously. She had severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, but now she can eat and sleep. No, she should be able to sleep better than before.
Yuan Wenshao looked at his wife who was very satisfied with eating a piece of meat pie, and suddenly felt sad, "I have wronged you these years."
Hua Lan's eyes suddenly turned red, "Yes My husband's words mean that no matter how many grievances you have, they will not be considered grievances."
Yuan Wenshao took Hua Lan's hand and said solemnly, "Don't worry, how much dowry you have contributed to me over the years, I will not give up."I'll help you earn it back one by one. ”
When he arrived in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, Qin Hao simply took his family in to burn incense. There was already a long queue at the door of the Daxiangguo Temple, but after seeing the car from Jinghaihou Mansion, Passers-by gave way, this is the honorable privilege.
Qin Hao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he had no interest in worshiping Buddha or Bodhisattva. Yu Yanran and Minglan Hualan went to burn incense, and he walked around with Yuan Wenshao. .
During the chat, Qin Hao suddenly asked, "I heard that second brother Yuan is serving in the Dianqian Division."
Yuan Wenshao was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully replied, "I am appointed as the Dianqian Division General Yuhou."
Qin Hao said in a low voice, "The government intends to reorganize the defense of the Forbidden Army and asked me to concurrently serve as the chief inspector of the front office. It is estimated that the decree will be issued in a few days. I don't know much about the affairs of the front office." At that time, I will also ask Brother Yuan to help me. ”
The reason why Zhao Zongquan came to power was because of King Yan’s rebellion, but after he succeeded, he naturally did not want to see this happen again. It was just that the Queen Mother had been in power before, coupled with the noble attitude of the DPRK. Ambiguous, this matter can only be put aside for the time being.
As Zhao Zongquan gradually gained a certain prestige in government affairs, and Qin Hao presented the auspicious white tiger, the clan members who were ready to move no longer dared to act rashly. Only then did Zhao Zongquan dare to attack the Dianqian Division.
When Taizu Chen Qiao rebelled and conquered the world, he was very wary of generals. Of these three departments, the Palace Department is the most important department, because the defense of the entire imperial city is usually assigned to the emperor's most trusted general.
Although the official position is only second-rank, But this is the highest practical position that a military commander can achieve. As for the Privy Council and the Taiwei, the Privy Council only has the right to mobilize troops, but is not responsible for leading them. Generally, they are held concurrently by high-ranking military commanders, which has a greater symbolic meaning. Taiwei is basically an honor.
Yuan Wenshao was so excited that his hair was trembling. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his voice was trembling.
"I am willing to do it. Command and order. "
Qin Hao smiled and patted Yuan Wenshao's shoulder, and whispered, "The decree has not been issued yet, so don't make any announcement. "
"No. "
After coming out of Daxiangguo Temple, Yuan Wenshao took Hua Lan and Sister Zhuang home. Before leaving, Sister Lan was still reluctant to leave. She took Sister Zhuang's hand and said, "Go back." If your grandmother causes trouble for you again, please ask the maid next to you to report her, and I will rescue you. "
Yu Yanran rolled her eyes when she heard this. This time today was enough to give her a headache. I wonder what the nobles in Bianjing City will say about it. This girl will go there in the future and is about to teach her daughter a lesson. , Yuan Wenshao smiled and rubbed Sister Zhuang’s head.
“From now on, we will live in separate houses, and Sister Zhuang can come out whenever she wants. ”
Sister Zhuang looked at her father in surprise, “Dad, is it true?”
Seeing her daughter’s excitement, Yuan Wenshao couldn’t help feeling a little sad, and quickly said, “Of course it’s true.”. "
"That's great, sister Lan'er. When my family moves out, I'll invite you to be our guest." Sister Zhuang said happily. She didn't miss Earl Zhongqin's Mansion at all. Prosperity, as long as she doesn’t get punished at every turn like before, she would be happy.
“That would be great. ”
The two sisters waved goodbye. On the way back, perhaps they were too tired after playing for a day, so Sister Zhuang fell asleep in Hua Lan’s arms.
See Yuan Wenshao. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly while she was sleeping, and she became more determined to move out of the house.
"Second Young Master, you are back, and I will ask you to go to the study. "As soon as he arrived at the door of Earl Zhongqin's mansion, he was greeted by a servant.
Yuan Wenshao handed the sleeping Sister Zhuang to Hua Lan and walked towards the study.
Zhong Earl Qin saw his second son come in and waited for him to close the door before he said, "I have already told your mother about today's matter. I think you can calm down for a while."
Yuan Wenshao gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Father, I want to separate the family.
Earl Zhongqin frowned slightly, but he was not too angry. Instead, he persuaded him kindly, "Although the family is in dire straits, it still has a title. If you divide the house, there will be two people in the future." Family. ”
Yuan Wenshao bowed deeply, “Father, a man should rely on his own ability to achieve great achievements. Blindly relying on the Meng Yin of his ancestors is not a long-term solution. My son has already thought about it clearly and asks his father to fulfill his wish.” "
Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Count Zhongqin was speechless for a moment and fell into hesitation.
Yuan Wenshao took the opportunity to persuade him, "Father, the Marquis of Jinghai already knows about today's matter, and he also specially He went to the front office of the palace to visit the temple fair with me because he was afraid that Hua Lan and Sister Zhuang would be punished when they came back. Marquis Jinghai was about to take up his duties. Did my father know that the officials would give Marquis Jinghai any position?"
< p>"Could it be?" Earl Zhongqin's eyes widened.Yuan Wenshao nodded excitedly, "Yes, the prefect of the palace was doing the inspection, and Marquis Jinghai also revealed to his son that he was new here. We need someone who is familiar with the front office. ”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Earl Zhongqin also became excited.
“But father, how can Marquis Jinghai rest assured that he can’t even settle his family affairs?” I leave the important errand to my son."
Earl Zhongqin fell silent after hearing this. After a long time, he sighed, "That's it, let's live separately. I hope your mother won't regret it then." Please remember to collect it. , the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
