It is said that Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin borrowed Shi Xiangyun to invite the female family members in the capital to enjoy the flowers and seduce Mu, the second mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion. Back at the mansion, Shi Li was eagerly waiting for the letter. Jia Cong didn't hide anything, and he told her everything
After telling him, he said: "Just leave it to fate. The first hand is in Niu Jicheng's hand."
Chen Ruijin frowned slightly and said, "This couple has been married for three years."
Jia Cong said: "So what? Both men are now standing outside Mu's heart. From the perspective of suitors, they are equal. Ali has an advantage over Niu Jicheng. He is much freer than his opponent. Niu Jicheng's back
He is burdened with the heavy burden of revitalizing the Zhenguo government, and he acts with many concerns. His advantage is that Mu is kind-hearted and does not want to let others suffer because of his innocence. If he regards secular rules as an advantage, Ali's chances of winning will be greater. After all,
Neither Ali nor those who help him are bound by secular rules."
Shi Li was listening, his eyes flickering, a bit pitiful. Chen Ruijin shook his head, got up and went back to the house. There were only two men left in the courtyard. Shi Li was silent for a long time and asked: "As for you
Let’s see what happens to Niu Jicheng?”
Jia Cong said: "I don't know Niu Jicheng, and I don't know what he will do. After all, it is his own child who is harmed by others, and he may not be able to bear it. Who dares to touch the little ancestor of Wei Ruoheng's family?"
Shi Lili immediately said: "How can Wei Ruoheng be the same? He grew up as a water bandit."
Jia Cong glanced at him: "It is better to take the initiative to expect your opponent to make mistakes. The Jiang family has declined, and the Zhenguo government is just looking at the old face. How is your hookup with Dai Quan going? Do you remember Xue Baochai wanted to buy a prince?"
Shi Li's eyes moved: "I heard Chen Ruijin say that Xue Pan's brother-in-law is a descendant of the Jiang family, and he has enmity with Zhenguo Mansion and Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."
Jia Cong nodded: "The Jiang family's brother Jiang Zining is now a second-class man. There are not many talented people in the family. He has no face in the Jiang family. It happened that Sister Xue bought a title and met the queen.
Things have happened one after another on the Empress Dowager's side, and so far the purchase has not been successful. If the purchase is successful, it will destroy the last bit of Jiang Zining's face, and the last bit of Jiang Zining's reliance in the Zhenguo Mansion will be gone. Man said that she has
It's a big mistake; even if not, how long can the mansion protect her? The obvious example in front of us is Wei Ruoheng's mother."
Shi Li thought: "That woman gave birth to two legitimate sons for the Niu family."
Jia Cong hummed: "Isn't Wei Ruoheng the legitimate son? He is still the legitimate son with extraordinary talents."
"Back then, the Wei family was forced to divorce their wives because of the situation in the imperial court. They were afraid that they would be charged with Prince Yi Zhong's remnant party." Shi Li said, "Even if Jiang Zining loses face, he will not be dragged into the Zhenguo Mansion."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "That's all, I gave the wrong example. Instead of using Wei Ruoheng's mother as an example, how about using the eldest lady in our house as an example? I don't have any good concubines, but Niu Jizong does. Someone has some.
There is snobbishness in this place. If Jiang's support is taken away, her life will be difficult." He raised his eyes and looked at Shi Li, "You don't think that if you take action against Jiang's natal family right now, it will
Just like helping Niu Jicheng, I guess he will have less worries about avenging his son."
Shi Li glared at him: "You are the most annoying person, why bother speaking so clearly."
Jia Cong sneered: "With Niu Jicheng's current reputation and ability, what does it have to do with whether Jiang Zining has any face? Will he be afraid? Zuo is just his mother, Mrs. Niu, who wants to protect the face of the whole family. Otherwise, he can chop him with a knife."
Mr. Jiang." He reached out and poked Shi Li's forehead with his finger, "You really have to go to the south and take a look. Mo Riye was so depressed in Beijing that he spent all day picking out bits and pieces of victory and defeat.
Niu Jicheng is Mu's husband and can do many things for Mu. What about you? You're just an ex-boyfriend with lingering feelings. Apart from such a thing, what else can you do for her? It's not difficult for you to marry her.
As long as Niu Jicheng has something more important than the Mu family in his heart, I will have a way to make them reconcile; it will be difficult to make her give up." So he withdrew and left. Shi Li beat the boy for a while in the courtyard and then left.
Suddenly, someone brought a bonsai outside. Wang Fu ordered it from the flower market. They had not been trimmed yet. The old man was going to do it himself. Jia Cong then stood beside him and pointed at him: "Cut this piece off! Don't cut this piece if it's too abrupt.
It!" Wang Fu glanced at him, with the word "layman" written clearly in his eyes, and the boys who moved the flower pots all laughed.
Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai sent someone to announce the good news three days later. Her husband Jiang Zirong was about to become the Marquis. Jia Cong couldn't help but snap: "This guy is so fast!"
It turned out that Shi Li had someone in the palace who had already managed to hook up with Dai Quan. Quan was one of the most touching things. The Empress Dowager was paralyzed in bed, and most of her people were dead. Suddenly, she heard Dai Quan say that there was a family of the Jiang family of Pingyuan Marquis.
The descendant wanted to buy back his ancestor's title. Two rays of light suddenly shot out in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Even if Aijia can't move, she is not a useless person!" The eunuch who ordered her to help her up.
Dai Quan hurriedly flattered him for a long time, and then said: "There is only one person who wants to be crowned. It is Ziwei who sacrifices her life first, and Dahaishang Xue Pan."
The Empress Dowager frowned: "He also begs for a title?"
Dai Quan whispered: "In these years, Xue Pan has spent a lot of money to help the imperial treasury, but he can't even get a small lord. He is still a businessman today. He has no choice but to change his family to seek help from the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager hummed: "Who asked him to take the long way around? Situ Pan is just a blood-sucking leech. He doesn't know how to be soothing and considerate."
Dai Quan said: "I'm afraid Situ Pan didn't pay attention to him at all. It doesn't matter if he has a lot of money, he is not the end of the scholar-peasant industry and commerce."
The Empress Dowager nodded: "That's all, I just hope he can be more sensible."
Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Mr.
The Empress Dowager smiled for the first time since being paralyzed and nodded happily: "The Ai family doesn't care about his few things. How much are they worth? Just to see what's new." Dai Quan hurriedly gave away a few piles of free things.
Flattery goes up. As for Liu Aiyun and the Liu family in Xue Pan's family, Dai Quan didn't remember such a person, and the Empress Dowager couldn't remember either.
Xue Pan bought the title of Marquis of Zhongming and was not overjoyed. He only ordered an ordinary banquet to be held to celebrate. Aunt Xue was so happy that she wished she could set up a flowing banquet and invite everyone in the capital to eat. Xue Pan said: "That's it.
If mother is happy, just let her do as she pleases."
Liu Aiyun hurriedly stopped him: "No, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of people who want to fight against the autumn wind. Each prince has a special envoy in Beijing, and King Yan also has four or five sons. Didn't you hear that the old Shang Shu Lao's house has been taken away? So he just obeyed.
It would be nice to have a little celebration like that at Wenyinghou Mansion."
Although her son was promising, Aunt Xue was still afraid of people from the Tian family, so she hurriedly said: "That's right! Don't attract attention!" Then she told Xue Pan to just invite some familiar relatives and friends to come.
His brother-in-law Jiang Zirong also won the title of Marquis of Pingyuan. This incident was like a thunderbolt in the Jiang family, and even the land was almost shattered. The old Marquis of Pingyuan was gone, but the Marquis Mansion did not remove the plaque or change the door. Jiang Zining and others still remained as
He is a disciple of the Hou family. Jiang Zirong is simply trying to force them to death! Jiang Zining angrily picked up a stick and stood in the atrium: "Let me see who dares to come and snatch the plaque in the mansion!" The whole family was also filled with indignation.
He said: "Uncle Rong is going too far!" Everyone was solemn. The caretaker of the home and the home even practiced a few times and waited for Jiang Zining to come and win the plaque.
After waiting for a few days, the banquet at Jiang Zirong's end was over, and the craftsmen who renovated the door began to work, but no one came. A few days later, Jiang Zining's little sister came from her husband's house to deliver a message -
—The Ministry of Rites is already preparing plaques, letters and seals for the new Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Zining was anxious: "How can this be true! The serious plaque is clearly in our house!"
His sister said: "With the enfeoffment of the world, the Ministry of Rites has not much to do. Day and night, I hope that the Empress Dowager will sell a few more titles so that I can make some money. Otherwise, how can the few forced salaries be enough for the ministry?"
Do you work as an official to support your family? Just like this time, not only Jiang Zirong, but also his brother-in-law also bought a title. Xue Pan is a rich man, the one who is most in need of money. Qianer went to the Ministry of Rites once, and the money he spent was
It's enough to keep those people busy for several months. Don't worry, brother, they won't touch the plaque in our house."
Jiang Zining became more and more anxious: "That's even more impossible! Isn't it as if our area is useless?"
His sister whispered: "Isn't it already dead? Even if Jiang Zirong wants our land, can he keep it?"
Jiang Zining stumbled and said: "If Jiang Zirong comes to snatch it away, at least he can be made to agree to some conditions and provide some money!"
His sister was stunned for a long time after hearing this. She closed her eyes and said nothing more. Then she said goodbye and left, and then never returned to her parents' home.
On the other side, in the Zhenguo Mansion, the second mistress of the first family, Mu, hesitated for several days without making a decision. Her husband returned from the military camp to take a bath. Mu treated him as usual and never mentioned what Chiang had done.
In the afternoon, someone invited Niu Jicheng to have a drink, so he changed his clothes and went out to chat with some friends to relieve his boredom. When he came back to relieve his boredom, he heard a fan at the corner saying excitedly: "That guy wearing rosewood just now
This is the second master of the Niu family. I heard that the prince is about to send him to fight overseas, and I'm afraid he will have to be accompanied by many people to serve him." The fan's voice became louder, and Niu Jicheng's lips curled up slightly.
.
Another fan said: "Is she from the Zhenguo Mansion? Don't try to trick him. Who doesn't know that the eldest lady in their mansion is a dominatrix-like figure, and all men are confused."
The one in front said: "With our status, we are just ants in a house like theirs. No matter how big a grandma is, how can we take care of the little ants?"
The one at the back said: "Good girl, listen to my sister. As the saying goes, when gods fight, little devils suffer. Even the serious second mistress was harmed by her. If you want to crush a pink head bought outside, you don't even need two fingers.
" He pulled her to leave. The one in front refused, so he forced her to drag her away.
Niu Jicheng was also a child of an aristocratic family, and he immediately understood that the fan wanted to seduce him so that he could enter the Zhenguo Mansion. But he never knew about the affairs of the inner house. It sounded as if his wife had been harmed by his elder sister-in-law? He couldn't help but frown. Then he frowned.
On the pretext that he suddenly remembered something was going on at home, he rushed back to the house to ask for his mother.
When Mrs. Niu heard that her youngest son was coming, she was so happy that she pulled him to sit next to her. Niu Jicheng ordered all the maids and women in the house to stay away, and asked softly: "Mom, I heard that my sister-in-law and my wife are not at odds with each other."
Harmony, is it really true?”
Mrs. Niu's face changed: "Where did you hear the gossip? Did your wife tell you?"
Niu Jicheng knew that the two fans were right, so he shook his head and said, "My wife never mentioned a word of it. She heard it from outside."
Mrs. Niu was shocked: "How did people outside know? Did anyone spread the word?"
Niu Jicheng's brows twitched: "Isn't it a small matter to hear what mother means?"
Mrs. Niu hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a squabble between sisters-in-law."
Niu Jicheng looked at her steadily: "Mom, please don't coax me. Why shouldn't a few words of quarrel be spread out?" Mrs. Niu quickly smiled and coaxed him softly. Niu Jicheng listened in silence for a long time and said
, "My mother refuses to say anything, so I ordered someone to investigate."
Mrs. Niu said: "Your wife is relieved, what else do you ask?"
Niu Jicheng said: "In that case, I won't ask her. She is a trouble-free person. If I ask her, she will just say 'nothing' to excuse me. After all, it is a matter in this house. Isn't there anyone else?"
Got it?" He stood up, bowed and turned to leave.
How could Mrs. Niu not know what he was capable of? She shouted urgently: "Stop!" Niu Jigong actually stopped. Mrs. Niu couldn't sit still for half a cup of tea, and she stumbled and said, "It's been two years.
, why bother!"
Niu Jicheng thought for a moment and was suddenly stunned. Two years ago, if his wife had suffered any loss, wouldn't it have been a miscarriage and the loss of a five-six-month-old baby boy? After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "That child
…It’s not…it’s…”
Mrs. Niu sighed and said with tears: "My wife was also confused for a while. I have already punished her. Your wife is also very sensible."
Niu Jicheng picked up his feet and walked away. Mrs. Niu hurriedly ran to chase him: "Come back! Come back quickly and I have something to tell you! Oops..."
Niu Jicheng looked back and saw that his mother seemed to have sprained her foot while holding on to the screen. He was so frightened that he hurried back: "Is your wife injured?" She shouted again and again to call for a doctor.
Mrs. Niu said in a tearful voice: "It's just a twist, it doesn't matter. Why call me a doctor for such a trivial matter? It won't alarm the whole family." Niu Jicheng refused, but still ordered the imperial doctor to come, and personally helped his mother back to the edge of the Kang.
We sat down. At this moment, all the maids and women outside came in. Those who fetched water and those who fetched drinks were busy in a huddle.
Niu Jicheng knelt on the ground and took off his mother's shoes and socks. He saw that they were indeed sprained, and his ankles swelled up in the blink of an eye. He regretted deeply: "It's all because my son is ignorant."
Mrs. Niu sighed, "I can't blame you." When she saw a daughter-in-law coming to get the wine, she ordered everyone else to go out. "It will be good if you can knead the wine for me."
Niu Jicheng knew that she had something to say, so he lowered his head and took the drink. He was a military general and knew how to deal with these minor injuries, so he did it without saying a word. Mother and son were silent for a long time, and Mrs. Niu gritted her teeth and said, "Two years ago
Your wife's loss of the child was indeed the fault of her boss. But she kept it clean from beginning to end, and when I checked, there was no evidence. Now her natal family is in decline, and even the title was bought by her cousin.
We can’t bully her, can we?”
Niu Jicheng was stunned: "Mother, who bullied whom?" (. Just Love Network)
