Chapter 58
After hearing the latest report, Xue Chen was really confused about Lou Qingyun's intention. If he said that he was responsible for the people from Jingzhao Mansion to capture Dai for a walk, it would be a good idea. Anyway, no matter how you say it, it was someone else's wife, and it had nothing to do with him! But he was fine, even the third wife of the Lou family did not let go, and even directly indulged the people from Jingzhao Mansion to enter the house to arrest people. What kind of resentment does the third wife have to him? It is really hard to understand that a big man interfered in the affairs of the inner husband.
The third wife of Duke Wei’s Mansion and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Earl Ren’en’s Mansion have become the hottest topics in the Guizhou circles in Beijing. Everyone laughed at the fact that Dai and Yu were arrested and imprisoned for a month. They all said that the Yu family was swallowed by the snake in the heart and said that Dai was completely unkind. According to some people in the Jingzhou Mansion, Dai and Yu were still fighting in prison. The image of Gui’en’s Mansion was gone. I don’t know whether it was true or not. Anyway, after they were released from bail by each family, Yu family completely broke up with Dai. The two women who shamed the family returned home and could not escape punishment. Dai was directly sent to the countryside by Prince Ren’en, while Yu was also imprisoned by the third master in person.
However, in this matter, it was still more influenced by Ren Enbo's mansion. The reason was that it was not only that Dai caused trouble to the mansion, but also that the prince also caused great trouble to the mansion. It is said that the prince favored his concubine and killed his wife, and borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from Cheng Enbo's mansion to squander the money. Now Cheng Enbo has come to the door and asked them to pay the money back. Ren Enbo was furious and ordered the vixen raised by the prince to kill the outer room, and then handed over the debt to the old lady of Ren Enbo's mansion. The old lady has not been in charge of the house for many years, and she directly said that all the money in the mansion was in charge of Dai and asked Dai to take out the money. Dai cried heartbrokenly and scolded Ren Enbo all over the place. If her family had not arrived in time, Dai might have also
He was beaten to death by Ren Enbo in anger, and finally had a long time of trouble. Dai really couldn't afford to pay, and Ren Enbo's mansion had no choice but to do anything about her. The prince's beloved woman sent someone to beat her to death by his father. He couldn't challenge his own father, so he had to swear this tone on Dai. The Dai family was reluctant to let the prince divorce his wife, so he came to the door to entangle every day. Ren Enbo's mansion was so annoyed that he stole Dai's wife, so the prince decided to send Dai to the countryside and asked her to be a titular wife. He neither harmed Dai's life nor divorced Dai's wife. He just sent it to the countryside. Even though the Dai family still wanted to stubbornly, he couldn't do it anymore. After some weighing, he stopped like this.
The third wife Yu's fate was much better than Dai's. Anyway, she insisted that it was Dai who encouraged her and refused to admit that she was the mastermind, nor did she admit that she was using the princess' power to cheat. The third master of the Lou family also had feelings and righteousness to Yu. He was not the kind of person who forgot about the bad knot and wanted to protect her, but he was the third wife, and his wife offended the big house. The prince had a bad temper. Add a prince who didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong. The third master dared not contradict him in person no matter what, let alone Yu's
What he did was really a slander for the Lou family. He was a woman in the deep house. He was imprisoned by Jingzhao Mansion for so many days. The prince was also insulted, and he could not rescue him in advance. Even the grandma who had been living in Qingshou Garden received the news and was furious. It was really because the situation forced him to be a human being. The third master had no choice but to send Yu into the ancestral hall. On the one hand, he avoided some dukes and princes, and on the other hand, he could also help Yu escape from the grandma Lei Ting family law.
This incident was overwhelming, and it was the end of the year. This year's Xue family is really a good year, and Xue Yunqing and both were promoted to official positions. Xue Yuntao was directly promoted from the Secretary-General to the Secretariat. Among the three lives and six ministries, the people of the Secretariat are closest to the imperial power, in charge of all monarchs, issuing emperor's edicts, and in charge of confidential places in various ministries. It has to be said that Xue Yuntao has a certain official career. Although the Secretary-General is also affiliated with the Secretariat, it is only one of the subsidiaries.
In one organization, some people in the secretary's prison may not be as good as the Secretariat's minister for their lifetime. It is also the set of books that Xue Yuntao has transported and compiled was included in the textbooks by the Imperial College, becoming a model for the princes to study every day, thus gaining a reputation for themselves. The Secretariat's minister will be selected by the emperor every three years. Since then, he has entered the Cabinet institution of the Secretariat and became the youngest Secretariat's minister and a third-rank official position. Since then, as long as Xue Yuntao does not make big mistakes, he will be just around the corner.
The same is true for Xue Yunqing. Following Xue Yuntao's footsteps, Xue Yuntao entered the Secretariat. With Xue Yuntao's recommendation, he replaced him as a secretary's supervisor and became a secretary's supervisor, and became a fourth-rank official.
How can a two-legged hero make the Xue family not proud?
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xue Ke advocated holding a banquet in Yanzi Lane, with 80 tables, and a banquet for friends and colleagues, and gathering together.
Xue Yuntao is now a third-rank official. Xue Ke is with him to welcome guests outside the door. The officials in the court came with their families and greeted Xue Ke one after another. Xue Yuntao was also very happy and humble and courteous. He was thirty years old and had a good reading of poetry and books. He had a scholarly spirit of a scholar, gentle and generous, and really responded to the gentleman's words. The most wonderful thing is that such a newly appointed third-rank official in the court had just died a few years ago. It was also rumored that Xue Yuntao was not a woman. Over the years, there were not many women around him, and only one legitimate daughter was raised by his side. All the concubines were in other places. His age was just right. A thirty-year-old man was in his prime. Even if he wanted a yellow daughter to be a successor, it would be reasonable.
"Duke of Wei arrived."
With a chanting, all the officials in front of the door were pulled over. I saw Duke Lou Zhan and Crown Prince Lou Qingyun riding on two tall horses respectively. The servants of the Xue family walked slowly with the reins. Xue Ke and Xue Yuntao looked at each other, and their faces were overjoyed. Unexpectedly, at today's banquet, Duke Wei was willing to come to the door. Before the carriage was parked, the father and son lifted their clothes and walked down the steps, and went up to meet them in person. Lou Zhan turned over and got off the horse.
, years of actions in the army made him look vibrant and majestic no matter what he did. Compared to him, Lou Qingyun was much more elegant. He wore a regular dress with ink gold patterns. He looked extremely outstanding in his appearance. His every move was noble, his hands were white and flawless, and he clearly did not look like a military officer who was punishing with a knife. When the women in the crowd saw him, his eyes could not grow on him and could never be pulled down again.
Xue Ke and Xue Yuntao bowed to Lou Zhan and saluted: "I didn't know that Duke Wei was here, and I was in a position to welcome him."
Lou Zhan held several positions, not only the first-rank Duke of Wei, but also the Marshal of the World of Military Forces. He also married Princess Suiyang. He had a son in the royal family and had a crown princess. He had a son and had a crown prince before he was born.
"You two, please come up, there is no need to be too polite. Today, your mansion is happy, so let's come and disturb you."
Xue Ke immediately replied with a smile: "You are so kind, please come in quickly."
Turning his eyes, he saw Lou Qingyun coming forward, and he clasped his fists at him and Xue Yuntao. Before he could say anything, Xue Ke and Xue Yuntao went up again, bent down to bow, but Lou Qingyun held two elbows and said:
"The two adults don't need to be polite, so they dare not be."
Lou Qingyun's words "I dare not take it" are so polite. He was destined to be superior as soon as he was born. Xue Ke is a fourth-rank, and Xue Yuntao is a third-rank, and he can't compare with him, the first-rank prince. He should be given the gift, but at this moment he waived the gifts of the two and came forward to help him personally, which was a very generous gift.
Xue Yuntao clasped his fists and said, "The prince is here, and the ceremony he should do is still necessary." As he said that, he wanted to bend his knees again. Lou Qingyun leaned to the side, avoiding his ceremony, and then stood up with his arm, without saying anything.
Lou Zhan and Lou Qingyun were personally led into the mansion by Xue Yuntao.
Although it was a service in Yanzi Lane, Xue Yunqing was able to achieve this success this time, thanks to Xue Yuntao's support. Therefore, the relationship between the East and West governments was even better than before the separation of the family. Because Lu's death was premature and there was no mistress in Yanzi Lane, Zhao and Xue were ordered to be invited by Xue Yuntao to manage today's banquet.
Xue Chen and Xue Xiu were also greeting the guests who came to Yueran House today. Needless to say, Han Yu was very busy and attentive and lively. It was precisely because of her and Xue Xiu's help that Xue Chen had reduced a lot of burden.
Xue Xiu and a petite lady were talking in the fish-watching pavilion. Xue Chen was called away before, and when he came back, he brought them some fresh fruits and fruits. The girls were not interested in those pastries, but these fruits and fruits were very popular. Xue Chen is now the eldest lady of the third-rank senior official. The three of them in the family are already quite prosperous. What's more, her father is only 30 years old. At this age, he is likely to continue to rise in the future. Therefore, he is more attentive to Xue Chen and is willing to make friends with him.
Xue Chen is good at socializing and talks with these petite ladies with Xue Xiu. When the two sang together, they often made the atmosphere hot. After finally ending a topic, Xue Xiu brought Xue Chen a honey mandarin and heard the lady Zhang say shyly:
"Hey, did you see it when you came before? Two young masters came to the Lou family, and I also saw the prince of the Lou family. It's really... it's pretty... it looks good."
Miss Zhang's words completely aroused the interest of being a girl. The prince of the Lou family is the legendary young man who has no head to see the dragon. On weekdays, these girls in the boudoir can see him anywhere. However, they often mention this name from their father and brother. Such a beautiful and elegant young man like jade has enough capital to be selected as the first person in the dream of the ladies in the spring boudoir.
Sure enough, Miss Zhang’s topic was quite popular, and the girls immediately became energetic and echoed:
"I glanced at it before, but I came too late and saw only the back. It was also extremely elegant. If anyone could marry him in the future, I would be really awakened by laughter."
"Hey, this is not just a joke. I heard that the prince of the Lou family has not married his wife yet. Maybe the prince's wife may be out of us."
Such words simply made the atmosphere in the pavilion to the highest point. The girls were both reserved and curious, laughing and pushing the lady who had spoken before, but no one denied the lady's statement. Xue Xiu and Xue Chen looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. The ladies heard that a cousin from the Xue family was intimate with the Lou family, and they pestered Xue Chen to ask her to recommend it. Xue Chen had no choice but to ask Han Yu to call Han Yu over. Who knew that after Han Yu came, these ladies became reserved one by one, pushing me and I pushing you, and finally recommended Miss Zhang to ask Han Yu's questions. It was not the first time that Han Yu had been surrounded by everyone to ask about the Lou family. He was also experienced in many battles. Knowing what these girls like to listen to, she just chose those, which made the girls very happy and the scene was once harmonious.
A few women suddenly came outside the fish-watching pavilion, as if passing by here. The leader was Xue and Zhao. They were followed by two women, one big and one small, the older one was about twenty-eight or nine years old. They were quite gorgeous, with dignified manners, luxurious clothes, walking, weak willows, but they were generous. There were pairs of fan-shaped gold hairpins on both sides of their hair, which was very distinctive. The girl behind her looked twelve or thirteen years old, with a small jasper, very cute and beautiful, wearing a water-blue embroidered butterfly gold-edged jacket, her clean and flawless little face was refreshing and pleasant, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, looking a little festive and very weak.
Xue stood outside the pavilion and waved to Xue Chen. When the girls in the pavilion saw the elders, they stood up in unison and saluted to Xue and Zhao. Xue and Zhao also nodded in greeting.
When Xue Chen came to Xue, Xue pointed at her and said to the woman next to her:
"This is Sister Chen." Then he turned to Sister Chen and said, "Sister Chen, this is the county lord Jiahe, this is the daughter of the county lord. He is the same age as you, and he is a little younger than you, so you call her a sister."
Xue Chen knew that many distinguished guests came today and would not be rude in front of others. He gave a regular junior gift to the county magistrate Jiahe. The county magistrate Jiahe nodded to her with satisfaction, and actually took a pair of white marble bracelets from his sleeve and wrist to Xue Chen, and said gently:
"I like you very much when we first meet. This is Sister Jing. I have to worry about taking her with you today, okay?"
Xue Chen looked at the bracelet in his hand and felt that the meeting gift was too expensive. He glanced at Xue and saw Xue nodding to her secretly. Xue Chen lowered his eyebrows and thanked the county lord Jiahe with a generous knee:
"Thank you for the reward from the county lord. I will give it to me today. I will definitely take good care of my sister."
The county lord Jiahe nodded again, and then left the fish-watching pavilion with Xue and Zhao.
Xue Chen stepped forward and pulled the sister's hand and asked kindly: "My sister is called Jing Jie'er. My name is Xue Chen. You can call me Chen Jie'er like her. Come with me. I will introduce you to your sister."
Jing Jie'er seemed a little shy, pulled her hand back, put it into her narrow sleeves, and smiled reluctantly at Xue Chen, "I'm sorry, my sister recommends it for me."
Seeing that she was unwilling to get close to her, Xue Chen knew that she was cold in character and did not force her. She led her to the fish-watching pavilion and introduced her one by one. The girls knew that she was the daughter of the county lord, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her. They spoke respectfully. Xue Chen arranged for her to sit beside her, and then she personally took a honey mandarin to her and sent it to her. Only then did she thank her softly. After chatting a few more words, she realized that this Jingjie was following the county lord’s surname, Wei Zhijing, who was thirteen years old this year, and has been living in Wanping with her mother.
The girls were just gathered together and there was nothing wrong with having more people. The topic continued and the atmosphere suddenly became higher. After everyone praised Jing Jie'er for a few words, she opened her heart a little and started talking to everyone.
Xue Xiu quietly hit Xue Chen with her elbow. The two of them took advantage of the topic of watching fish and approached the railing. Xue Xiu asked her with her, "Who is this County Lord Jiahe?" Xue Xiu actually had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out. She had seen clearly in the pavilion before, and the County Lord Jiahe looked a little special to Sister Chen.
Xue Chen looked at the red koi that could not be moved under the pavilion, smiled on his lips, and said a few words in Xue Xiu's ear. Then he saw Xue Xiu suddenly realize it, and turned his head to look at Sister Jing.
If Xue and Zhao greet each other, they will be a pair of white marble bracelets when they see her, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the county lord Jiahe. Xue Yuntao is now promoted step by step, and his deceased wife Lu's filial piety period has passed. At this time, it is a good time to marry a wife and re-string. I don't know if this county lord likes Xue Yuntao or Xue Yuntao likes the county lord. If things happen, both of them are married and have a daughter. There is no reason why whoever takes advantage of him or whoever suffers, and it is very compatible.
Xue Xiu looked at Xue Chen calmly, and it was not until this time that she was completely convinced by Xue Chen. If she thought from the perspective of others, if her father wanted to re-string and bring this woman to her before getting married, could she be as calm as Chen Jie'er? However, she also understood Chen Jie'er's thoughts. Xue Yuntao was only 30 years old and it was impossible not to marry a new wife in the future. Xue Chen would have another stepmother in any case. Since it could not be changed, she could only accept it calmly. It was just that the Xue family was precious and Xue Yuntao would marry a county lord who lost her husband to the door? This was something Xue Xiu couldn't understand.
After Xue Chen finished speaking, he saw that Xue Xiu was puzzled on his face, so he bent his lips helplessly at Xue Xiu, and then took Xue Xiu back to the table and sat down. He seemed to have no idea of anything and had guessed nothing, and continued to joke with the girls.
On the other hand, Xue Yuntao personally led Lou Zhan and Lou Qingyun to the study room of Yunshanju. There were scenery on all sides, and all the officials of the third rank or above were greeted. Seeing that Duke Wei had also come, they stood up and greeted him. Everyone was in the same dynasty and could meet each other every day, so there was nothing to see outside. After Lou Zhan and his son sat down, Xue Yuntao personally served them tea. Lou Zhan accepted it calmly, but Lou Qingyun took the initiative to greet him.
After everything was settled, we started to talk. As the head of the military officer, Lou Zhan naturally talked about military defense. Some civil servants were not good at it and could not interfere. They did not want to waste the opportunity to make friends with Duke Wei in vain. Li Bowen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took the initiative to bring the topic to Lou Qingyun who was drinking tea and asked:
"The prince is still working in Dali Temple. He is busy with noble people, so don't delay the lifelong affairs."
Lou Qingyun put down the teacup and smiled at Li Bowen, saying, "What is a lifelong event? I don't understand what Lord Li said."
Lou Qingyun was undoubtedly the youngest among everyone present. Even Xue Yuntao was ten years older than him, but in terms of identity, it was unspeakable. The Dali Temple where he was located was a person who was reluctant to mention among the officials, so if you want to talk to him, you can only start from other aspects. Lou Qingyun was over 20 years old and had not married yet. This is a ready-made good topic. Sure enough, after Li Bowen spoke, even Duke of Wei, Lou Zhan, came to his senses and planned to join this topic.
He waved his hand to Li Bowen and said, "Mr. Li, please stop asking him. Just for this matter, her mother and I almost have to worry about it, but he just looks like a person who is fine. Do you think we are anxious or not?"
Lou Zhan is a cheerful and virtuous man. He has few men who come out of the battlefield and will talk none the same way, so he will speak out bluntly along the topic.
Because of this topic, the atmosphere in the study became much better in an instant. The officials who were used to being serious in daily life were like a blowout at this moment. They talked about this topic with a few enthusiastic people and promoted Lou Zhan many married-age ladies. Lou Zhan listened very seriously, and seemed to really want to choose a daughter-in-law from these beautiful ladies.
Lou Qingyun was calm and sat on the side and drank tea, looking like the topic these people were talking about had nothing to do with him.
These people talked about their wives. Those who knew about them were officials of the court, and those who didn't know thought it was an Iceman party. Anyone could have a few daughters of marriageable age. They all praised them all for being in the sky and not underground. Lou Qingyun's heart had already flown to other places. He could not hear these things. After finding an opportunity, he simply took the urine and walked out of the study. Then he felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, so he could travel.
