There are two types of divorce at this time, amicable divorce; divorce without amicable divorce - you can see from the words that the former may still be friends after divorce, and there may be a few blessings written in the wife release letter. words; the latter? If we are divorced and bump into each other again, it would be polite and polite if we don't chop each other a few times!
Therefore, Yi Jue is not just a matter of words. If there is no reason to do so, the government will not agree even if it does not consider public opinion.
This is also Ruan Qingyan's ultimate goal - after all, he doesn't trust the Fang family. Just because Fang Zijun is only six years old and is so scheming that he doesn't look like a child at all. It shows what the Fang family's tutors are like!
If Ruan Ciyi and Fang Nongyan were just allowed to reconcile and the two families did not formally break up, who knows what means the Fangfang family would use to continue their entanglement
Isn't this an example right now - Ruan Qingyan just spent a lot of money to bring Fang Nongyan and his wife back to Beijing, Taishi Ling sent his servants to run errands, and Fang Nongyan sold his brother-in-law who had contributed money and effort to him!
Ruan Qingyan doesn't want to give this kind of brother-in-law any chance to climb up the Ruan family!
The confessions about Ruan and Fang Yijue were approved without too much heated discussion - mainly because the ladies who were shocked by Ruan Ciyi's shocking scars spread the word about it, and by the end the rumors had turned into Fang Nongyan spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife to the point of turning Ruan Ciyi into a human pig...
Even many people in the Queen Mother's party can't stand this kind of crazy wolf man.
After all, who doesn’t have a daughter? Even if I don’t have a daughter, I still have nieces and granddaughters!
Now they are all wading into the troubled waters of party struggle. If they lose, their children and grandchildren will not be able to escape. According to the law, a married woman will not be affected by her mother's family. If she meets an ungrateful and cruel son-in-law like Fang Nongyan... Just think about it. It’s a mouthful of blood!
Therefore, Ruan and Fang Yijue did not need Ruan Qingyan to go to the table. Xue Chang's suggestion that Fang Nongyan, a ruthless, unjust and shameless person like Fang Nongyan, would not be killed would not be enough for the people to get angry, so he immediately passed it with an absolute advantage!
The speed with which this matter was handled fully demonstrated Xue Chang's seriousness and efficiency - Fang Nongyan was sentenced to beheaded by the Queen of Autumn, and the Fang family was ransacked... This was the seventh day of the Ruan family's suspension!
"It seems like it's impossible to get back all the eldest cousin's dowry." The interesting thing about the divorce laws at this time is that no matter what the divorce law is, the dowry has to be returned to the woman anyway, and the husband's family has to live with her for three years. Food expenses - However, Ruan Ciyi's dowry was sold in the early years when the couple was demoted, and a lot of it was used to provide for the family's expenses. After all, Fang Nongyan was born in a peasant family, and her wealth and savings were completely incomparable to Ruan Ciyi's.
Now that the entire Fang family has been confiscated and returned to Ruan Ciyi, it is still not enough.
However, neither Ruan Qingyan nor Qiu Yilan cared much about this, "Fortunately, my eldest cousin is free now - I will share some of my property with my eldest cousin later, and I will find a good family for her after I become a filial piety, right?"
Qiu Yilan, who was sitting on the embroidery stool, put down her list, swayed her feet and said to Ruan Qingyan. After Qiu Mengmin used the palace's property to pay for the dowry of Princess Liem and Princess Ruan, she also successfully entered the ranks of wealthy people.
"Why are you shaking your feet!" Ruan Qingyan scolded her first, "Every lady must behave well!"
After Qiu Yilan put on a dignified posture aggrievedly, he said, "Don't worry about this. You can use the things you have there. I will make up for the big sister here."
"How much money do you have?" Qiu Yilan has wanted to ask this question for a long time - why does this cousin always say "any problem that money can solve is not a problem"? How rich is his adoptive father
Ruan Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I won't wrong your sisters anyway!"
Qiu Yilan sighed: "Don't tell me!"
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Sister, I'll take you to Laizhou. You..." Before Ruan Qingshi finished speaking, he saw Qiu Yilan covering her ears with her hands and shouting in pain: "I beg you! Please don't do anything anymore." Please take care of yourself, okay? I really know!"
Ruan Qingyan glared at her: "Then let me say the last two words: take care of yourself! Don't see Jiang Yashuang!"
... Early the next morning, Qiu Yilan reluctantly said goodbye to Ruan Qingyan and Ruan Ciyi, and watched the supporting team slowly leave. She shed tears and waved her hands, writing from head to toe "I really really don't want to". Separate from you.”
However, as soon as the team disappeared, she immediately became energetic, stroking her chest and sighing: "It's time to leave!"
Yesterday, I said "say the last two sentences", but it turned out that it was just that little time. Ruan Qingyan warned him at least eighty times! This kind of Xianglin sister-in-law’s cousin’s approach is really too much to bear...
"You are so eager for my cousin to leave. If you tell me later, I will definitely not spare you!" Su He curled his lips, "Besides, after my cousin left, you didn't discuss anything personally. What's there to be happy about?"
"Who said that?" Qiu Yilan immediately countered, "You are not human?!"
Su Heqi said: "We are servants! Besides, can our knowledge compare with that of your cousin?"
"Anyway, he's gone! I've been free for the past two or three years!" Qiu Yilan ignored the maid's objections and happily thought about the beautiful life in the future where she would have money and no one to teach her - probably not even God could see her. So heartless - less than two days after Ruan Qingyan and his party set out, Qiu Yilan, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch eating a pear, was so shocked that she almost swallowed the pear core: "The imperial court posthumously named my grandfather 'Wu Lie'? ! How is this possible
"What did the princess say?!" Zhou's mother, Su He and others stopped her in unison, "This is a great event! How can you say that?!"
Mother Zhou, who has always been good-tempered and humble, couldn't help but say: "Although I am only your grandfather, now that I can enjoy the honor and mourning, your face will be happy!"
Qiu Yilan threw the remaining pears aside and said anxiously: "I didn't mean that - but you all know what my grandfather's family has been like over the years. If I remember correctly, although the posthumous title of 'Wu Lie' is It’s not the highest among military commanders, but it’s not bad, right? It’s okay to be buried in the late emperor’s tomb. How can I give it to my grandfather?”
In the past two years, General Ruan has been reduced to relying on his daughter to secretly sell her dowry for financial support. He has never seen the court or any old family to help him. Now that he dies, he is actually given a posthumous title and a burial in the imperial mausoleum... even if The dead are big, is this too big? !
"Didn't the sixth grandson of the Xue family say before that Mr. Xue would ask for a posthumous title for the old general?" Su He reminded.
Qiu Yilan frowned: "Even if 'Wu Lie' came like this, what about the grace of being buried with the emperor's mausoleum? My grandfather had a reason to be defeated in the war. Even if he is gone now, it is impossible for the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty to sympathize with him to this extent, right? "
Not only could she not understand, but Ruan Qingyan, who was overtaken by Yizhi on the road, was also shocked and inexplicable, but he still had some clues: "Back then, Empress Dowager Gu supported Kuang Shihan to seize the Zhenxi Army from her grandfather. She was frightened by his grandfather's actions. The prestige in the Zhenxi Army, Queen Mother Gu has not given my grandfather any chance to recover over the years, not to mention that even the old contacts with my grandfather at the beginning have been suppressed to the point that everyone is in danger... Could it be that now that my grandfather is dead, I am gone again The Ruan family can no longer affect Kuang Shihan's position in the Zhenxi Army by being a civil servant, so why are they so generous? "
"But the proposer was Prime Minister Xue, not Kuang Shihan - yes, according to the schedule, it would be good for Kuang Shihan to know the news of his grandfather's death at this time. How could he have time to report it?"
What Empress Jiang said to her nephew alone in the Bei Que Palace was unknown to outsiders. Therefore, Xue Chang went to great lengths to seek a reward from General Ruan this time, thinking that it was to compensate Ruan Qingyan, who had been innocently humiliated by Xue Fanmi before. For a time, the Xue family regained a lot of reputation lost due to this incident.
"But what's the point of being buried with the emperor's mausoleum?" The imperial court does not belong to the Xue family. Even the queen mother and empress want a minister to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum. It is not that easy - it has been more than thirty years since the late emperor died, even if he is just buried If you go near the emperor's mausoleum, you are also suspected of disturbing the spirit of the late emperor. This kind of grace is much harder than getting a posthumous title!
Ruan Qingyan waited with such doubts until he met the official of the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for guiding him to bury General Ruan. After the official of the Ministry of Rites named Li Qianzhi explained, he understood how the honor of being buried with the emperor's mausoleum came from: "The late emperor once Promise to play grandpa?"
"That was almost forty years ago." Li Qianzhi nodded and said with emotion, "If Xue Xiang hadn't remembered it and dug out the daily notes from that year to compare it..." The following words are self-evident.
Ruan Qingyan was suddenly enlightened and deeply admired Xue Chang: "My grandfather was able to enjoy this honor all because of his mentor. How can a student be so lucky? I am so grateful!"
Nearly forty years ago, Xue Chang was not even thirty years old. You must know that this famous minister of the two dynasties is like Ruan Qingyan. Not only was he a Jinshi at a young age, but he also caught the eye of the late emperor during the palace examination. He was in the emperor's heart early and was promoted rapidly along the way. This situation is the most ideal. It is easy for people to be arrogant and not take their colleagues into consideration, but what about him? He could actually translate the late emperor's casual promise that no one in the Ruan family remembered and used it. Based on this memory and attention alone, it is no accident that this person is a very popular minister!
If he hadn't had this memory, it would have been impossible to get General Ruan the honor of being buried in the imperial mausoleum!
It can be seen that Li Qianzhi is very envious of Ruan Qingyan: "It is a blessing in my life to have such a mentor as an editor!"
Listening to these words, you will know that Xue Chang's actions this time have won him many points with the good ministers - uninformed outsiders don't know that Xue Chang used General Ruan's death to shift the focus of the conflict. He only said that Xue Chang was doing it all for himself. That’s why the disciple racked his brains so much!
But it doesn't matter to Ruan Qingyan - after all, General Ruan has a good posthumous title and the grace of being buried in the imperial mausoleum, which is of great benefit to him.
The most obvious thing is that he doesn’t need to go to Laizhou!
After all, there are royal guards guarding the area near the imperial mausoleum, making it difficult for casual people to approach. How could Ruan Qingyan be allowed to stay in a house for three years
So his three years of observing filial piety is to return to Beijing and observe mourning in the general's mansion...
Well, this is also the reason why Qiu Yilan almost swallowed the pear core before...
