Chapter 512: The last stubbornness of the old Xiao family gene
The Lieutenant of Gu County on the side couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this, and his expression became more and more embarrassing.
He thought she was a temptress, but now the person he once thought was a temptress was interceding for him?
This really made him feel so embarrassed...
Xu Qing looked at the county lieutenant of Gu County and said: "The review and assessment of the performance and character of officials does not fall under the jurisdiction of this prince, and it cannot exceed the authority. At this time, there is still some time before the performance assessment of officials. If you can work diligently and love the people in the future,
If the censors who have been tested by you can't find any mistakes, then I have nothing to say."
The lieutenant of Gu County couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. He said that he didn't intend to hold him accountable, but then he looked at the beggar woman with complicated eyes. After being favored by her today, he really didn't know how to deal with himself in the future.
Originally, she was her son's legal wife. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, she can't clear her name because her son has another wife.
Moreover, even if the name is corrected, 80% of the children born to close relatives will still have bad consequences.
Just when the captain of Gu County was struggling, the woman continued: "Uncle, there is no need to embarrass you. I will not bother you again from now on. I will find a job in a down-to-earth manner and raise my second child. Now that I have recovered,
If you clear your name, you won’t still be unable to find ways to make money.”
Xiao Ruxue pulled Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, we will help people to the end. Can you help her find a job?"
Xu Qing nodded, walked forward and said, "Does your master like to eat sweets?"
The beggar woman said: "Back to the Marquis, my son has liked sweets since he was a child, but he has followed me around the world... Alas... I am not a qualified mother."
Xu Qing said: "The National Business School also has a shop selling snacks and candies in Gu County. If you are interested, I can tell them that it is not difficult to get a decent job that can make money to support the family while taking care of the children."
When the beggar woman heard this, she was startled at first. She couldn't believe that this high-ranking nobleman actually bothered for a former temptress of hers, but then she immediately thanked her profusely and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, woman of the people. Thank you, Lord Marquis, woman of the people."
Lord Marquis!"
Xu Qing handed over a piece of silver and said, "Take the silver and go to a medical clinic to treat your son's injuries first."
The woman looked at the money in front of her and shook her head quickly: "No... The Marquis has already shown kindness to the women of the country. The women of the country cannot take this money..."
Xu Qing said: "Let's just consider it as your monthly advance payment."
As he spoke, Xu Qing stuffed the money and the few candies left on him into the child's hands.
After all, the little girl is kind-hearted and doesn't want to suffer.
I gave this woman a piece of silver at the beginning, and now I am still making arrangements to solve the problem of food, accommodation and work.
Such a caring princess and such a lovely and kind little girl, where can I find another one?
…
At this time, there were more and more people watching. These ordinary people, who had seen the biggest official in their life being a county magistrate, wanted to see what the Marquis and the princess looked like.
Xu Qing said goodbye to Liu Wanyan, and decisively took Xiao Ruxue away before being treated as a rare animal.
With Dong Hao, the county magistrate, personally accompanying him, people around him would be wary and not dare to follow him.
Dong Hao looked at Xu Qing and asked: "I wonder why Lord Marquis and the princess appeared in this valley county?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "I don't want to either. There is a pregnant woman at home. At this juncture, someone must ask me to go to Liuzhou to participate in some martial arts conference. Really..."
Dong Hao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, who came up with this idea? It's so inhumane..."
Xu Qing coughed and said, "Your Majesty."
When Dong Hao heard this, his expression suddenly froze on his face, and then his face changed in an instant. He immediately became extremely respectful and could not be more respectful. He cupped his hands in the distance and said: "Just tell me, your Majesty is the real dragon in the world."
How can the profound meaning of His Majesty’s holy words be understood by ordinary people like us? Your Majesty is wise!”
Xu Qing: "..."
Xiao Ruxue: "..."
In the end, after Xu Qing declined the invitation to visit Dong Hao's house, he and Xiao Ruxue took a long detour before returning to the inn.
It’s really uncomfortable to be surrounded by people looking at you as a mascot.
…
Marriage between close relatives is a bad habit. This bad habit is not bad among ordinary people. In many places, there is a custom of not marrying with the same surname. At the time, my senior brother liked someone of the same sex...with the same surname, and could not be tolerated by relatives and friends.
Forgetting the beauty in your heart is the way to enter only when you have no choice.
But after all, common people are different from aristocratic families. Many dignitaries, centuries-old families and even the royal family have had many incest marriages in pursuit of the so-called purity of blood.
Xu Qing vaguely remembered that there was an emperor who was so playful that even his own sister would not let him go. This could no longer be described as a beast!
Now it seems that both the aristocratic family and the royal family will inevitably decline after a long period of time. Maybe it is not necessarily all internal corruption and indulgence in pleasure. It may have something to do with getting married and being mentally retarded...
Originally, Xu Qing felt sorry that his senior brother could not stay with the one he loved forever due to local customs.
Now it seems that the parents did a good job in stopping it. If the two of them gave birth to a second child, wouldn't it be the end?
Although two people with the same surname are not necessarily close relatives, those with different surnames are undoubtedly far more reliable than those with the same surname.
On the way back to Yuelai Inn
Xiao Ruxue stretched her little hand towards Xu Qing and looked at him eagerly.
Xu Qing reached out to hold Xiao Ruxue's little hand and said, "Let's go back to sleep."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue suddenly asked: "Xu Qing, are what you just said true? Is this really the case for incest marriages?"
Xu Qing nodded: "Of course, haven't you seen that the examples cited by the people around you are all caused by close marriage?"
Xiao Ruxue seemed to understand and said: "So is this also the reason why King Qi is so stupid?"
Xu Qing couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and asked: "What does this have to do with King Qi?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "The Xiao family has been intermarrying with the Chen family a long time ago. Later, due to the chaos in the country and the disputes between the princes in the Central Plains, the Xiao family became the royal family, and the Chen family was the minister of Conglong, with a high and powerful position. In the past, the queen's position was
It was from the Chen family. It was not until his father seized the throne and the Chen family was on the wrong side, and his father ascended the throne, that he began to do his best to suppress the already powerful Chen family. He suppressed it for many years, but even though it lasted more than ten years
But she still occupies the position of one of the four concubines."
Xu Qing was slightly startled when he heard Xiao Ruxue's words. The Chen family and the Xiao family have been married for many years, so wouldn't the Chen family's blood already exist in their blood?
No wonder I feel that the people of the old Xiao family are very smart, especially rich in profiteers, but when they come to King Qi, they look like they are half-brained...
It turns out there is a historical reason for this!
The fact that King Qi is still able to maintain his current IQ, instead of being like Erbao who giggles all day long, is probably the last sign of the stubbornness of the old Xiao family's powerful genes.
