Madam Hou

Chapter 155

When his father was the head of the clan, Mrs. Chen's father, Mrs. Lu, wanted Mrs. Chen to be the stove guard, but his father was short-sighted and refused to agree because of a small fortune from others. Instead, he insisted on letting Mrs. Lu take over from his cousin's house. come over.At that time, the old master Lu was afraid that his daughter would be looked down upon as a stove guard, so he didn't insist much, and finally adopted the current master Lu.As a result... Thinking of Mrs. Chen's three daughters, the eldest daughter entered the palace and became the emperor's favorite concubine, adding a pair of children to the Tian family; the second daughter married to the Hou Mansion and is now Mrs. Hou; The young master has an engagement, and he will be married this month.

Their Lu family is just a small clan, and most of them are farmers or merchants. Since the genealogy records, the largest official who has ever been produced is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. It is said that it is like a cloud in the sky, unattainable.If his father had agreed to let Mrs. Chen be the stove guard girl, now her three daughters are all surnamed Lu, and it would be a great honor for the Lu family to have a girl marry such a high-ranking family. The family can become the largest family in Linping County.

The patriarch sighed regretfully in his heart: The old man is so confused...

After seeing each other with Yin Niang and Mrs. Chen, the patriarch turned around and glanced at Master Lu, Da Zhong and the others.Master Lu shrank involuntarily when he met the patriarch's gaze.The patriarch said disappointedly: "Nephew Daliang, the Zhong family, although our Lu family is not a big family, we are also a family that knows shame. It is a disgrace to the clan. The patriarch first adopted you to the clan brother. He originally expected you to inherit incense for him, lighten the lintel, and support Xiuzhu's niece. You have made things difficult for Xiuzhu's niece, and now you are encouraging your daughter to do such things as poisoning the Marquis. Your actions are simply unbearable, and your conduct is even more filthy. You are not worthy of being members of the Lu clan. Now I will use In the name of the patriarch, you are expelled from the clan, and you are no longer members of my Lu clan."

Elimination?Master Lu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was limp on the ground.What will happen if the family is removed? Not only will they lose the protection of the family, but they will also be cast aside by the world. The future of their children and grandchildren will always be stained in marriage.

Master Lu crawled up to the patriarch on his knees, hugged his leg, and said with snot and tears: "Patriarch...patriarch, third uncle, my nephew is wrong, my nephew will never dare again, look at my nephew For the sake of you growing up, please forgive me this time..."

Da Zhong and the others were also stunned by the patriarch's words, and when they realized it, they also knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.Sister Lu Qian even knelt down in front of Yiniang, crying and begging: "Cousin, I don't dare anymore, I don't want to be a concubine for my cousin's husband, please let us go!" family, she really won't even be asked to be a concubine.

The patriarch looked at the crying and begging people in the room, turned his head away with a "hey", and couldn't bear to say: "If I knew today, why bother!"

Master Lu saw that he couldn't beg the patriarch, so he knelt down and climbed to the side of Madam Chen, crying and begging: "Sister, sister, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, please speak for me. Father and mother are only my son. , if I am expelled from the family, who will inherit the incense for my parents, Qingming and Mid-Autumn Festival, who will sweep the graves and burn paper money for my parents..."

Mrs. Chen said: "Don't worry, there are many people in the clan who are willing to inherit incense and burn paper money for my parents. After you leave the clan, I will give my parents another adoptive room immediately."

Master Lu's family was eventually expelled from the clan, and after the expelled clan, they had no relationship with Yinniang.Yin Niang ordered them to collect their things, and immediately swept them out of the house.

The next step is to adopt Lu Chun's first family to the old man Lu's family.The patriarch of the Lu family was very thoughtful and efficient in his work. When he went to Beijing, he even came with the genealogy and adoption documents.In front of Mrs. Chen, the Lu Chun family pressed their fingerprints on the adoption document, and then the patriarch opened the family tree, crossed out the names of Mr. Lu's family under Mrs. Lu, and filled in the names of Lu Chun's family.When the patriarch brings the documents back to Linping County, and then file a case with the local government, the adoption is considered complete.As for other ceremonies, you can reduce as much as possible.

Of course, although the matter of expelling the family and adopting was done, but the patriarch and Lu Chun's family finally came to the capital, Madam Chen naturally wanted to let them go back after attending Pingniang's wedding, especially Lu Chun's family. The procedure has not yet been completed, but it is already considered Pingniang's uncle's family.

The wife's family moved out, and the annoying Mr. Lu's family was also kicked out.Yinniang sat on the couch in the inner room with Brother Yi in her arms, feeling relaxed.

Yin Niang lowered her head to kiss Brother Yi's face, and said to him: "Brother Yi, are you happy too?"

Brother Yi spit out a small bubble, the bubble burst, and made a soft "boo". Hearing the sound, Brother Yi grinned his toothless mouth and laughed silently.Brother Yi has learned to spit bubbles in the past two days, and now his favorite game is to spit bubbles.Yin Niang stroked her son's thinning hair, smiled and said to herself, "Sure enough, I don't know how to worry."

Brother Yi spit out a bubble again, and grinned silently after spit out.Looking at Brother Yi who was entertaining himself, he couldn't help but feel more cheerful.

In the evening, when Lin Fengqi came back from the palace, seeing his wife and children in the room, he couldn't help feeling happy.

Lin Fengqi took Brother Yi from Yinniang's hand, kissed his forehead, and said: "My dear son, how is your day today, do you miss your father?"

Yin Niang glanced at him, and then asked, "What's going on?"

Although Yin Niang is skeptical about the technique of disgusting victory, most people in the world still believe in it, and they are more taboo against it.If such a thing happened in the mansion, it would be easy for the opponents in the court to give an excuse to attack, so no matter what, Lin Fengqi needs to report to the emperor in advance before being attacked by the court, and it is best to use the lax family management as an excuse Plead guilty to the emperor.But today, Lin Fengqi entered the palace to do this.

Lin Fengqi said: "Don't worry, the emperor has his own sanctification in his heart, even if someone really comes to criticize him, the emperor will not punish him too severely, at most he will punish him with salary or something."

Yin Niang said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the reputation of the Hou Mansion will be bad for a while."

Lin Fengqi said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, all the girls in the family have already married, Feng Shan's marriage has also been settled, and when Brother Yi and his younger siblings grow up, this matter will be over long ago. "

"It's just that Princess Mingyu hasn't entered the door after all, and she has a noble status. I don't know if Princess Shouyang will have any thoughts about such a thing happening in the mansion."

"Don't worry, Princess Shouyang won't get entangled in these trivial matters. You have to be really worried, you haven't gotten very close to Mrs. Dou recently, the princess has always valued this eldest daughter-in-law, you just ask her to speak good words for us. "

Really, men's minds are simple, and it would be great if the twists and turns between women were so simple.As the elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Dou avoided the marriage of her direct sister-in-law as much as she could. If the eldest princess really had an idea, how could she make it difficult for her to speak for her.But if you have to worry about so many things every day, you really can't worry about it, let's put these things down first, maybe the Princess Shouyang really doesn't care.

Within a few days, rumors of the Hou Mansion really spread in the capital.

First, it was rumored that Yongning Hou Ye and Mrs. Lin's mother and son bullied Mrs. Da Tai's mother and son, and forced one of them to move out of the Hou's mansion overnight.

It has always been easy to be gossiped by people when the family is separated. In addition, the Yongning Marquis Mansion has some special features. Everyone knows that the title of the Marquis Mansion was originally in the Dafang, but the Dafang finally fell to the current title when he had a son. For the branch of Yongning Hou Ye, the tricks in it have to make people think.In addition, many people also know that before the old Mrs. Hou died, she said that the Hou's mansion was not divided into mansions.Now the Marquis of Yongning and Mrs. Lin disregarded the last words of the old Mrs. Hou and separated the Mrs. Madam's room from the Hou's mansion. Some people feel that they are suspected of being bullying.

But within a few days of this rumor, another theory spread, and this theory was completely opposite to the previous one.It is said that the Da Tai Madam has always wanted to harm the house of the Marquis of Yongning, and on the day when the eldest son of the Yongning Marquis was full moon, the Da Tai Madam and her natal family bought a Taoist nun to the young master in the Hou Mansion. , Many people who were present at the time knew about this incident. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.And I heard that this kind of harmful thing happened more than once, it happened many times before, such as putting poisonous snakes in Lord Hou's room at night, poisoning Lord Hou's tea and so on.Hou Ye couldn't bear it anymore, and finally had no choice but to separate the wife and wife.

People who like to gossip asked the people present at the time, and those people didn't say whether it was true or not, but when they asked, they all kept silent. There is a saying that silence means acquiescence.So, gossip people nodded one after another, so it is so!Therefore, these gossip people passed on to other people who like gossip, and later, the second kind of rumor defeated the first kind of gossip and became the headline gossip.

Lin Fengqi also heard some people attacking him with this excuse in court, saying that Marquis Yongning bullied orphans and widows, Marquis Yongning was not strict in governing the family, Marquis Yongning was not filial, Barabara and so on.

If there were criticisms, there would naturally be supporters. The emperor was so quarreled by the ministers that his head hurt, and in the end, Lin Fengqi was fined for half a year's salary and three months' foot restraint for a crime of lax family management, so that he could face the wall and think about his mistakes at home.

So people are happy, black people are not happy.Half a year's salary, three months of confinement, in fact, there is no fine at all, okay, who cares about that little salary.As for the three-month confinement, there are no battles to fight now, and there is no need to get up early to go to court.

The emperor also has his own little Jiujiu in his heart. If he is among the people, he and the Marquis of Yongning are brother-in-law. How can anyone not help his brother-in-law to help outsiders.If he really punished Marquis Yongning, Yanniang would have to say she was sick and refuse to drive, making him unable to touch the bed for a month.Although she can't do much now that she's pregnant, it's good to have a hand addiction.
