Chapter 1305 It's not like our family hasn't eaten this
Chapter 1305 It’s not like our family has never suffered this kind of loss before.
After noon, Jimoshu returned home.
After returning to her yard, Mrs. Jimo came out and asked with concern: "Why are you back? You haven't had lunch yet?"
With that said, Mrs. Jimo wanted to order her servants to bring some food.
But Jimoshu shook his head and said: "No, I have no appetite now, let's talk about it later..."
Then, Jimoshu walked into the room with his head lowered and silent.
Mrs. Jimo saw that her husband was interested, so she turned away the servants around her and followed him into the house alone.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Jimo asked as she closed the door: "I went to the palace, why am I not in a good mood? What did the emperor tell you?"
Jimoshu sat at the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, without making any sound for a long time.
Mrs. Jimo came to the table and sat down, and asked again: "Husband, don't be silent. What happened?"
Jimoshu put down the cup, looked at her and asked, "Madam, what do you think about Qiaoer's marriage?"
"Qiao Er's marriage?" Mrs. Jimo was startled and asked quickly: "Husband, is it because of Qiao Er's marriage that the emperor asked you to go?"
Jimoshu nodded and sighed: "The emperor wants us to marry Qiaoer to Marquis Zhongyong."
"Marquis Zhongyong? Sui Zhan?" Mrs. Jimo was very surprised and looked at her husband with wide eyes.
Jimoshu nodded again.
"Why? Why does the emperor want Qiaoer to marry him?"
Mrs. Jimo suddenly became anxious. She also knew very well what kind of person Sui Zhan was. Before he married his wife, he had many concubines, not to mention other concubines.
Seeing that his wife was anxious, Jimoshu comforted him and said, "Don't be anxious yet. Your Majesty came to me just to ask for my opinion. He didn't mean to force me."
"But why did the Emperor suddenly...suddenly talk to you about this matter?" Mrs. Jimo still didn't understand.
Jimoshu looked at the door and window, then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor didn't say the reason, but later I asked Eunuch Pei and I found out why..."
"Why? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Jimo was very anxious.
Jimoshu repeated what Pei Yang said to him.
Mrs. Jimo was stunned after hearing this. She stared at Jimo Shu for a long time, and then she said in shock: "One million taels of silver... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how could he do this?
"
Jimoshu said: "Madam, please don't misunderstand the emperor. The emperor never said these words. He just asked me about my wishes. I already refused at that time."
But Mrs. Jimo was not at ease and said: "Husband, if the emperor didn't have this intention, why did he call you for questioning? Back then, we didn't agree with Qiao Er marrying Sui Zhan, the late emperor, the emperor, the empress, and the emperor.
Queen Mother, they all know the reason!"
Jimoshu sighed and said: "Well, the Pitz people in the north have to guard against it, but the court's money is very tight, so there is probably no way..."
Mrs. Jimo turned her head and said angrily: "What can't be done? Can we sell our daughter if there is no way? This is too much!"
Jimoshu frowned and said, "As I said, the emperor didn't force us to marry our daughter to Sui Zhan. Why are you anxious?"
Mrs. Jimo said: "Husband, I tell you, this marriage must not be agreed to. Sui Zhan looked pretty good when he was young, but when he grew up, he seemed to be a different person, messing around with women and being nostalgic.
In the brothel, if our Qiao Er marries her, we don’t know how much suffering we will suffer in the future. It won’t work, it won’t work, it will definitely not work…”
"Didn't I say it? I didn't agree!" Jimoshu said with a sullen face.
Then, the couple fell silent, and the room became eerily quiet.
After a long time, Jimoshu suddenly said: "By the way, on the way back just now, I went to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion..."
"What?" Mrs. Jimo was surprised: "What are you doing there?"
Jimoshu said: "Don't worry, can you just listen to what I have to say? I didn't go to Zhongyong Hou's Mansion..."
Mrs. Jimo suppressed her impatience and said, "Okay, you say it."
Jimoshu paused for a moment, and then described what he saw and heard outside Jimo Mansion.
Mrs. Jimo was very surprised: "What did you say? Sui Zhan gave away all the concubines at home?"
Jimoshu nodded and said, "Yes, many people saw it early in the morning. This matter cannot be false."
Just after he finished speaking, Jimoshu said again: "I heard that Sui Zhan was determined to marry Qiaoer this time. Not only did he send away his concubine, he also severed ties with his concubine, and he also swore a poisonous oath, saying
I won’t marry anyone other than Qiaoer.”
"So what? In short, Sui Zhan is not good enough. I won't let Qiaoer marry him!" Mrs. Jimo didn't accept this at all.
After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Jimo suddenly came to her senses and asked, "That's not right, husband, don't you reject the emperor all the time? Why did you go all the way to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion on your way back?"
"I...I just took a look, don't think too much..." Jimoshu felt guilty, lowered his head and drank water again.
Mrs. Jimo thought about it carefully and gradually understood what her husband was thinking.
"Husband, you didn't hear that the emperor was short of money, so... you softened your heart, right?" Mrs. Jimo said.
"No! How is that possible?" Jimoshu hurriedly denied.
Seeing her husband's answer so quickly, Mrs. Jimo became even more sure of her guess.
"Forget it, I don't know you yet?"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jimo stood up, looked at her husband and said, "Have you forgotten what happened to You'er back then? You can actually abandon You'er in the wilderness with just one sentence that is detrimental to the fate of the country. She is our flesh and blood.
Yes! If You'er hadn't been adopted by someone because of your great fortune, would you and I still be able to see You'er after so many years?"
Jimoshu looked embarrassed: "Madam, don't get excited, just listen to me..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen!" Mrs. Jimo shook her head angrily, and then continued: "Now that the emperor is short of money, you actually want to sell Qiaoer again, and to that playboy Sui Zhan. Tell me.
Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Qiao'er? Are you worthy of You'er?"
Jimoshu was so anxious that he stood up and said loudly: "Madam, I don't have it. I really don't have this idea!"
"Then why did you go to the Zhongyonghou Mansion? You still want to inquire about these things. Give me an explanation!" Mrs. Jimo said forcefully.
Jimoshu was speechless for a while, and then sighed: "Okay madam, I admit that after hearing Pei Yang talk about the emperor's difficulties, I did feel a little soft-hearted, but then I thought about it carefully, Sui Zhan's
The child is indeed unreliable. Even if he has sent away all his concubines and cut off contact with his wife, it does not mean that he will never provoke women in the future!"
After saying these words, Mrs. Jimo's complexion improved slightly, but she was still angry.
Jimoshu consoled him: "Madam, you have to believe me, I really will not let Qiaoer marry Sui Zhan."
Mrs. Jimo glanced at her husband and said coldly: "What's the use of your disagreement? When the day comes, the emperor really has no choice about the matter in the north and insists on forcing us to do this. What can you do?"
"Madam, you mean that the emperor may...will issue a decree for marriage?" Jimoshu said in surprise.
Mrs. Jimo turned around and sat down, with her back to her husband, and said, "It's not certain, our family has suffered this kind of loss before..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Jimo's tears flowed down her cheeks, falling on the back of her hands and thighs...
Jimoshu suddenly felt a little upset. After sitting down, he covered his forehead and said worriedly: "No, no, it won't be good if it really comes to this..."
