Wei Yuhua and Yin Yuehan fought openly and secretly with each other. Yin Yuehan was obviously more arrogant than usual, and didn't pay attention to the main wife at all. Those who didn't know would not be able to see that Yin Yuehan was just a concubine. In a dynasty where wives and concubines have distinct status, such words and deeds are obviously disrespectful. Under normal circumstances, the main family has the right to severely punish such unruly concubines, but there are exceptions. I can't do anything about my disrespect.
The prince's serious illness made the second prince more likely to be in power, not only that, but at this juncture, there was news that Concubine Yin Xian was pregnant again! For a while, the Yin family became more popular, and there were countless beauties in the harem. Although Concubine Yin Xian was favored, she was not the only one favored, but the other concubines did not move at all, but this Concubine Yin Xian was able to conceive dragon sons again and again, no doubt. It's heaven's favor. Luck is sometimes more important than strength, and Concubine Yin Xian is obviously a very lucky person. Although she is only the daughter of a businessman, she is backed by a wealth of wealth and is also extremely strong. What's more, with the Yin family's business operations over the years, the Yin family's children have already established a solid foundation in the court through marriage.
I don't know what the Yin family's physique is, but the biggest characteristic of the Yin family's children is their ability to give birth!
No matter male or female, they are full of children and grandchildren. Concubine Yin Xian was able to enter the palace because of the reputation of the Yin family.
Even in an environment where the concept of science and technology is more advanced in later generations, there are still people who bother about their children, not to mention this extremely important world. Having no heirs or weak descendants can obliterate a person's achievements, not only for common people, but also for high-ranking officials and nobles. Just like Emperor Qianxing and the prince, Emperor Qianxing's weak heirs have been rumored to be his retribution! The dark tide is surging, use this as a cutting.
And because the prince has no heirs, the position of the prince has not been guaranteed, and the same is true in Wenyuanhou's mansion. Wei Yuhua didn't have any children of her own, so she was stepped on by a concubine, and felt unable to hold her head up in front of outsiders.
Zhuang Zhong drank tea slowly and only pretended that he did not exist, thinking about his own affairs and not participating in the fight between the two. If he had to wait here for Marquis Wen Yuan, he would have left long ago, and would not have stayed here to listen to the bickering between the two women. If someone wants to pull him into the battle, or smirk or say something about women that I don't understand, I will prevaricate it.
Zhuang Su couldn't get used to Zhuang Zhong's calm and calm appearance, and with Zhuang Zhong's fame now, even his classmates knew that he had such an elder brother, which made him lose face, rolled his eyes, and said: "Brother, I heard that you often Aren’t you afraid that being disrespectful to the dead will bring bad luck when you dig the grave and open the coffin to see the corpse? That’s all, the dead are big, and disturbing the peace of the dead is not what a gentleman does.”
Zhuang Su was less than ten years old, with a serious accusation on his face, Zhuang Zhong was not only not angry but wanted to laugh.
"If you had a better way to solve the case, brother would not do it so helplessly. My brother is so smart, I think it will not be difficult for you. Next time if there is a problem that cannot be solved, brother will definitely find it. You don't have to act like this."
During this period of time, I do not know how many officials have been severely punished for hastily adjudicating cases. Unjust cases will exist no matter which dynasty or generation, and there are always people who turn over old cases like Zhuangzhuang. It is not because of the retrial trend caused by Zhuangzhuang, but because Emperor Qianxing was angry about the prince, and he heard that there are unjust cases. Vent, provoked a group of officials dismounted.
Because of this incident, some people's attention was slightly diverted, and they did not keep staring at the prince. It's just that this time the prince's condition worsened, and Emperor Qianxing summoned famous doctors from all over the world, so he couldn't hide it, and the voice of changing the prince became louder and louder. Emperor Qianxing became angrier when he heard this, and punished officials who had wrongly judged the case more severely. Officials like Guan Dawei no longer had amulets, and they were all thrown into prison, beheaded or exiled after autumn.
Zhuang Su didn't know that Zhuang Zhong deliberately teased him. If he dared to respond, he would fall into a trap if he was really asked to settle the case. Even if he made a mistake when he was young, he would still be responsible. He snorted coldly: "I read the books of sages, so I don't have the time to take care of your crap."
"What do you mean when your brother reads?"
"reasonable."
"In the future, do you want to take the imperial examination to become an official in the court? If so, it is inevitable that you will encounter punishment and prison in the future. At that time, my younger brother will think that those things are just bad things, and I don't want to be contaminated?"
"I'm still young now, so it will be different in the future."
Zhuang Zhong smiled and patted Zhuang Su on the shoulder, "Since you are still young and don't understand, you should learn more and talk less, otherwise it will become a fake trick of talking but not practicing."
Zhuang Suning, who was snuggling beside Yin Yuehan, saw that her brother Zhuang Su's complexion was not good, she couldn't help frowning, "Brother, have you been bullied?! Why is your face so ugly?"
Zhuang Suning's voice was not low, and she directly attracted the attention of Wei Yuhua and Yin Yuehan who were taunting each other. The young Zhuang Jun in Yin Yuehan's arms was originally drowsy, but when she heard this, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhuang Su .
Zhuang Zhong and Zhuang Su are sitting alone on the left, such words are undoubtedly accusing Zhuang Zhong.
Wei Yuhua said in displeasure: "Are there any more rules! Aunt Yin, although you are a businessman, you have learned the etiquette that everyone should have. How can you teach such a daughter? If Concubine Yin Xian knew the children you taught in the palace So unruly…”
The descendants of the Yin family are not only able to give birth, but also because of Concubine Yin Xian, the girls of the Yin family have a very good reputation. They are virtuous, virtuous, gentle and beautiful, and they know the rules the most. Otherwise, just because of being able to give birth, she would not have climbed to such a position in the palace. The most important thing is to know how to behave.
Originally, the Yin family didn't pay much attention to rules, but they just climbed to this position and had to follow the rules. Otherwise, he would be impeached by some officials because the merchants did not understand the rules, which would affect the second prince's becoming the heir apparent.
Yin Yuehan didn't care, "It's not outside of my own home, even if it spreads out, someone has to believe it."
Wei Yuhua was so angry that she almost turned her back, Yin Yuehan's mouth curled up triumphantly, but she looked at Zhuang Su with concern, "Su'er, what happened?"
Yin Yuehan's eyes seemed to pass over Zhuang Zhong, Zhuang Zhong was a thorn in her heart, she thought that there would be no trouble, but she didn't expect a young monk from the countryside to come out now. If it wasn't for Concubine Yin Xian being pregnant again, the situation of their Yin family would be very good, and she would really focus on taking care of it.
Zhuang Zhong also looked concerned, "Brother Su, do you think there is something wrong?"
Only Zhuang Su understood the true meaning of Zhuang Zhong's kind face, if he dared to say something, he would be ridiculed. After all, Zhuang Su was young, and he was favored for his excellence since he was a child, but because of his status as a concubine, he was quite controversial outside, so he was extremely self-respecting and could not be looked down upon by others.
"The boy is just wondering why his father didn't come home so late today."
Only then did Wei Yuhua and Yin Yuehan realize that it was less than half an hour late for Marquis Wen Yuan's return. Although it was not a rare thing, it was a time of turbulent court times, and any abnormality was unavoidably worrying.
These words made the people present forget the dispute for a while, and waited anxiously. It took less than half an hour for Marquis Wen Yuan to arrive late.
Wen Yuanhou's complexion was not good, and his whole body exuded a coldness.
Yin Yuehan went up to meet her, and said with concern: "Master Hou, but something big happened in the court, why is your face so ugly?"
Marquis Wen Yuan glanced at her coldly, and reprimanded: "Women can discuss matters in court."
Yin Yuehan was humiliated, her face was pale, but Marquis Wen Yuan ignored her, went to the first seat and sat down. Wei Yuhua suppressed the joy in his heart. Although the scene just now was just a trivial matter, it was enough to see that Lord Hou did not want to flatter Yin Yuehan or even suppress Yin Yuehan because of the Yin family's current power. Wen Yuanhou had never been with so many people. Yin Yuehan had been reprimanded in front of her like this.
Wei Yuhua said softly: "Master Hou, the kitchen has prepared your favorite venison porridge and side dishes. You worked hard early in the morning, so I ordered someone to bring them here."
Marquis Wen Yuan's face looked better now, "Please trouble Madam."
Wei Yuhua smiled and said, "There is no need to be polite between you and me."
"Yuhua has worked hard these years." Wen Yuanhou smiled at Wei Yuhua, and in an instant, it was like moonlight shining on the earth, even the couple who had been together for so many years made Wei Yuhua dazzled.
Wei Yuhua blushed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and said angrily, "What happened to Lord Hou today, isn't it embarrassing me to say these words?"
Yin Yuehan saw that Wei Yuhua looked like a young girl in her old age, her teeth were going to be sour, and she was filled with resentment. How could Lord Hou be so gentle and considerate to this old woman today! Could it be that she is too arrogant these days, so she took the opportunity to beat her
"Brother Chong is back too."
Solemnly stepped forward to salute, with a respectful and polite attitude.
Marquis Wen Yuan looked him up and down and nodded, then looked at Wei Yuhua, "Brother Chong is here today thanks to your careful care."
"Master Hou, don't say such things again, it seems too preposterous."
Marquis Wen Yuan patted the back of her hand, "You have a good relationship with the meditation master of Guanyin Nunnery. You can find a day and ask her to help you count the days. Brother Chong should be included in my Zhuang family's family tree after he has been back for so long."
After saying a word, the expressions of the people on the field were different.
Marquis Wen Yuan has been very indifferent to Zhuang Zhong for more than a year. Even though Zhuang Zhong has gained a reputation in Beijing, Marquis Wen Yuan still looks indifferent. Many people guessed that Marquis Wen Yuan didn't want to see this son who grew up in the countryside, and that he brought him back because of the morality of his kinship, and he didn't really want to recognize this son. , there was no sign at all before. Yin Yuehan's face turned pale, she never expected that Marquis Wenyuan ordered Zhuangzhuang to come back today to talk about this matter.
Wei Yuhua lowered his eyes to suppress the emotions in his eyes, and tried to keep himself calm, "Yes, Lord Hou."
"Brother Chong's mother left early. Although he is half a child now, you don't need to raise him personally. You may need to organize the marriage in the future, and it will be recorded in your name when the time comes."
This sentence is like a thunderbolt, which makes people unable to react for a while.
Wei Yuhua could no longer maintain his composure, "Master Hou, you, you mean..."
Marquis Wen Yuan looked at Zhuang Zhong, "After entering the genealogy, don't let me hear names that I shouldn't hear. You are going to enter an official career in the future, and don't be caught for being unfilial!"
Zhuang Zhong was stunned, he never thought that Marquis Wen Yuan would say these things today and make such a decision. Although Lu Liuzhi is the original spouse of Marquis Wenyuan, since he has passed away for many years, even though Lu's family is in Beijing, it is not easy to intervene in the affairs of Marquis Wenyuan's residence. At most, it will save Zhuang Zhong from being bullied, but he cannot win a son for Zhuang Zhong position. It is not an absolute thing to be passed on to the eldest son. In a situation like his, it is often impossible to inherit the position of the eldest son. But if he was recorded under Wei Yuhua's name, it would be completely different. With the backing of a surviving wife, it is not impossible for him to seize the position of the son. No matter how poor the Wei family is, it is not without some help.
Nowadays, no one knows that Concubine Yin Xian's belly prince is seriously ill, which will bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire court. For the servants in Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, many people speculated that they were afraid that the mistress would change hands in the future. Although spoiling concubines and destroying wives is not tolerated by the world, there are accidents in everything. As long as the second prince can inherit the great rule, the Yin family will surely flourish. As the second prince's aunt, how can she be a lowly concubine, she will definitely be righted. The second prince also needs such a solid backing, and Marquis Wen Yuan has to show his sincerity if he wants to climb up.
But Marquis Wenyuan actually made such a decision now, which is clearly not to side with the Yin family, to distance himself from the relationship!
