Outsiders also have golden fingers

Chapter 23
Once when Ye Wanyun accidentally hurt her hand while carving a seal, Du Zhiqian, who loved his wife so dearly, forbade her to touch gold and stone again.

After that, she really rarely touched it again, so she felt bored imitating Du Zhiqian's writing, and this stamped seal has been put on the shelf forever.

Now her technique of engraving seals is already unfamiliar, but she writes handwriting that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

This time her uncle sent someone to help her leave, and she remembered that there was still such a seal when she was nervous and anxious, and she also had an idea in her mind.

Let alone other people, even Du Zhiqian couldn't tell the difference between these two seals.

If there is any difference, it is that the one that Du Zhiqian carries is often used, and it may be somewhat worn out, but it is brand new.

This is easy to do, just find a piece of cork and grind it a few times.

Linghui sighed secretly, it's true that every drink and peck is a front, and every retribution is a cause and effect. The affection that used to be deep and meaningful has now become a means to deal with him.

The weak and beautiful mother is not only strong and rational, but also has such wisdom and talent.

The scumbag father abandoned her for Lu Qingniang, he really gave up the pearl for the fish eye, I hope he will not regret it in the future.

I also hope that the blind little guy in her stomach will not make a fuss, don't make mother uncomfortable, and let them leave this place smoothly, otherwise everyone will have no way to survive.

Five days later, three people came to Dujiazhuang, a shrewd manager in his thirties, and two young and strong guards.

The three of them rode tall horses with extraordinary bearing, and they seemed to have traveled a long way.

As soon as he got off his horse in the village, he first asked where the patriarch's house was, and someone led him there.

Patriarch Du saw that the visitor was extraordinary, and was about to inquire, when the man in charge saluted and said:
"I've met Patriarch Du. I'm from Pingdinghou's Mansion in the capital city. I'm here to meet you at the order of Lord Marquis." A standard mandarin.

Hearing that it was someone sent by the Marquis of Pingding, Patriarch Du was very excited and proud. He hurriedly welcomed the visitor in, and ordered the servants and guards to go down to rest and drink tea, and the three big horses were also brought in to feed the fodder.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the visitor signaled Patriarch Du to let the servants go down, and then he introduced himself:
"My humble servant is Wu Benren, the second steward of the Hou Mansion. He was rescued by the Hou Ye during the war, and he was alone and helpless, so he always followed the Hou Ye.

After Lord Hou entered Beijing, he became the second steward, and the chief steward was from the Lu family. As Mrs. Lu's dowry, he had already entered the mansion as a councilor in advance.

This time when he came back, Master Hou was in trouble, so he sent my servant back to ask the patriarch to help solve it. "

After speaking, he took out a shiny bronze medal with the words "Pingding Hou Fu. Wu" on it.

"This is my identity token. Please check it with Patriarch Du. This is a letter written by Lord Hou. Please have a look at it with Patriarch Du."

Wu Benren handed the bronze medal and a sealed letter to Patriarch Du, and Patriarch Du pushed the bronze medal over: "Steward Wu has an extraordinary bearing, who can doubt your identity?"

Then he opened the envelope and confirmed that the handwriting and seal belonged to Du Zhiqian. Only then did he take a closer look and was surprised:
"Well, how could such a thing happen? It's just a marriage, who dares to impeach Lord Hou boldly? Are you not afraid of offending the imperial concubine and Duke Hu?

Moreover, Hou Ye and Lu's family are married, and it's not too late to hide from Ye's family. Why did they take her to Beijing?Isn't she already a successor?
If Mrs. Ye is unvirtuous and there is a commotion after going there, wouldn't it ruin the good deed of Lord Hou? "

Wu Benren shook his head: "Patriarch Du doesn't know, the situation in Beijing and China is very complicated, I'm waiting for you to explain it in detail.

After the emperor raised his army, heroes from all walks of life took refuge and surrendered. Although the protector of the country is powerful and has made great achievements, whoever follows the emperor is not a famous family with great strength and outstanding contributions and heroes from all walks of life?

After the empress lost her concubine, she could not recover from her illness and ignored everything. The noble concubine was a virtuous and capable prime minister in the sixth palace. .

Most of the other empresses in the palace also came from extraordinary backgrounds, and their families also had meritorious deeds. No matter whether they had children or not, they all regarded the imperial concubine and His Highness the King of Yan as enemies, and made every effort to expose their weaknesses. This implicated Lord Hou and Mrs. Lu who was about to enter the door.

They used the marriage of the Du and Lu families to say that Lord Hou had already had a first wife but stopped marrying another wife. If the Lu family wanted to enter the family, they could only be a common wife or even a concubine, and they could not marry in as a regular wife, otherwise it would be a mess.

Lord Hou blocked their mouths with the matter of succession, and they said that this was throwing away his wife and marrying another in the name of succession. Even if it was a concurrent succession, Mrs. Ye was still the original wife. How could Master Hou not be present when he got married?
Moreover, Hou Ye left his original wife in the ancestral land for a long time, but lived with his new wife in the capital. What is the difference between this and his abandoned wife and another marriage?
In the future, everyone will learn from others. What are the rules of etiquette throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty?
To tell you the truth, patriarch, no matter what, the emperor did it under the banner of helping his sons and exterminating his concubines. He must be able to make it through, otherwise where will he put his face?

He said that if Master Hou married two wives at the same time, it would be reasonable to marry another one.

But this marriage must be agreed by Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Lu should indeed offer tea to her original partner, and she cannot leave her original partner in the ancestral house in the future.

In other words, Mrs. Ye must go to Beijing, otherwise there will be troubles in the marriage, the emperor is a two-sided affair, and no one can offend."

Although Patriarch Du is greedy for profit, he is very shrewd.

The emperor, as the orthodox lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty, held the banner of "destroying the evils and returning the lineage" so that the whole world can return to the great line.

No matter how much his heart is towards the Lu family, he must show towards his original spouse on the surface, otherwise he will slap himself in the face, how will he govern the world in the future?Ye Shi really had to go to Beijing.

But the two wives are side by side to say, who is Mrs. Pingding Hou?
The more Patriarch Du thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very troublesome. No matter how powerful the Lu family was, no matter how partial the emperor was, he had to be able to explain the past to the people of the world.

It seems that the Lu family has many political opponents in the court, and even the emperor has to strike a balance between the two sides, and can't be blind to the Lu family.

Although the Marquis of Pingding's Mansion has been honored by the Lu family, it is also tightly tied to the Lu family. Needless to say, if the Lu family succeeds, if it fails, it may be a disaster.

But at this moment, there is no room for backing down. The princes are still young and the situation is unclear, so they can only pin all their hopes on the Lu family.

I hope that the emperor can really act fairly and let Mrs. Ye sit in the seat of Mrs. Pingding Hou, so that Mrs. Lu is like a concubine.

The Du family can enjoy the glory of the Lu family without being too tightly tied to the Lu family. In the future, if the Lu family loses, there will be a way out.

It seems that he should pay more attention to Mrs. Ye. If his grandson goes to Beijing to study, he will have to be taken care of by Mrs. Ye, and his granddaughter's family will also depend on Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Lu has no relationship with them.

At this moment, Patriarch Du hoped that the Lu family's political enemies would press harder and speak more words in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would have no choice but to seal Ye as Mrs. Ping Ding Hou, so that the Du family could have another way out.
