Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

Lin Jiu's words made Lu Yi think deeply.

"What's going on with that Liu Lang? He was the one who came to cancel Mrs. Shen's marriage, and almost forced Mrs. Shen to death, and now he comes to pick up Mrs. Shen's wedding hydrangea. He must be deliberately causing trouble!"

"What else can happen? It's just that the Liu family is in decline and he wants to rely on the Shen family. You know, Shen Dafu is just such a precious daughter. After marrying Mrs. Shen, everything in the Shen family doesn't belong to him. .”

"It's a pity that Liu Lang made trouble today. Madam Shen has to wait for the next auspicious day to throw the hydrangea. It's really unlucky."

Lu Yi heard someone talking next to him and quickly stepped forward to inquire about the news.

It turns out that the Shen family and the Liu family are both local wealthy families, and the two families can be regarded as family friends. The eldest lady of the Shen family and the beggar Liu Lang they saw, Lu Yi, were engaged since childhood, and they only waited for the two to come of age to get married. Who knew that Liu Lang suddenly fell in love with a village girl three years ago, and it wasn't because she didn't want to marry her. For this reason, he did not hesitate to make a fuss about breaking off the engagement with the eldest lady of the Shen family and humiliated the Shen family and the eldest lady of the Shen family many times in public.

The clay figurines are still very strong, not to mention that Shen Dafu and Mrs. Shen are not made of clay. For this reason, Mrs. Shen publicly broke off her engagement with Liu Lang in the Marriage House, and declared that it was her Shen family who did not want the Liu family's marriage, not the Liu family who broke off her marriage to the Shen family.

Although the imperial court has opened women's imperial examinations in recent years, women's status has improved a lot, but deep-rooted concepts are so easy to change. Regardless of whether they are wrong or not, it is the women who will be harmed after breaking off the engagement.

The Shen family took the initiative to cancel Liu Lang's marriage, but Liu Lang felt unhappy. In his heart, he was the only one who dumped others, so how could others dump him.

Feeling that he had lost face, Liu Lang spread rumors everywhere, making Mrs. Shen's marriage difficult.

Probably God couldn't stand Liu Lang's despicable behavior. Last year, a fire broke out in the Liu family, and more than a dozen members of the Liu family were killed in the flames. Only Liu Lang survived because he stayed in a brothel overnight.

The Liu family fell into ruin due to a fire, and Liu Lang also changed from the wealthy son into a down-and-out person. The penniless Liu Lang became a beggar, and the village girl with whom he was originally in love also remarried someone else. But at this time, Liu Lang shamelessly asked the Shen family to fulfill their engagement. Not to mention that the two families had not had bad blood before, Shen Dafu would not agree to the marriage just because Liu Lang had to observe mourning for his parents for six years.

There are clear regulations in the Marriage Building that those who observe filial piety and those with improper family background are not allowed to steal the embroidery ball.

"No, Liu Lang is literate after all. The Yueshu Pavilion in various parts of the imperial court hired people to do copying work. They were paid daily and also took care of lunch. Liu Lang wouldn't be reduced to a beggar no matter what. ?" Lu Yi expressed his doubts.

"His hands are high but his eyes are low. At the beginning, the steward of Yueshu Pavilion also gave him a copying job. Who would have thought that Liu Lang would actually give instructions to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's grandeur did not care about him, but who would have thought that this man would actually use his hands and feet He was not clean and stole the books from Yueshu Pavilion and sold them. However, the shopkeeper found out and kicked him out of Yueshu Pavilion, saying that Liu Lang would not be allowed in any Yueshu Pavilion in China in the future.

"He is simply a shameless person." Lu Yi looked angrily, as if he had never thought that there were such shameless people in the world.

"Isn't he just a shameless person? The last shameless person I saw was Lu Yu, a traitor to the Jianing Lu family in the previous dynasty." Lin Jiu said sarcastically.

"Shhh, old lady, you don't want to die. You dare to talk about Jianing Lu's affairs."

"There is nothing that cannot be discussed. Didn't the Queen Mother say it? Freedom of speech. As long as it is not slander or fabricated false remarks that damage people's reputation, people can speak freely."

Lin Jiu and Lu Yi lived there for a month. During this period, they also saw Mrs. Shen throwing an embroidered ball again. This time, no one caused trouble. The embroidered ball hit a young man with a decent appearance. It is said that this young man's brother There are many, and the family doesn’t mind their son being their son-in-law.

At this time, Lin Jiu realized that there was a local custom that if a family with only one daughter wanted to recruit a son-in-law, then the girl in the family could only go to the marriage building and throw hydrangeas to get married in heaven. The teenagers who grab the hydrangea must have many brothers in the family, and their parents and themselves agree to marry each other before they are eligible to participate.

"Grandma, are we going back to Beijing now? My grandson still wants to walk around." Lu Yi sat on the carriage and looked at the city behind him with some reluctance.

"Your father said, and your teacher said it, if you don't go back, he will come and take you back personally. You shouldn't let me still be educated by your teacher at an old age!"

"How can you? It's too late for Taifu to respect you." Lu Yi said with a smile.

One month later, the grandfather and grandson returned to the capital. There was no big guard of honor, and they both returned to the imperial city quietly.

Lin Jiu felt uncomfortable after living in the palace for two days, and then left the palace to live in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing. Lu Rui wanted to let his younger sons go to Zhuangzi to accompany Lin Jiu, but they were all rejected by Lin Jiu. Among all the grandsons, except Lin Jiu who was strict with Lu Yi, the other grandsons had the same attitude.

"Grandma, my grandson is here again."

"You're here just in time. Help me pull out the grass in the field." Lin Jiu pointed to the tender grass in the vegetable field.

"Good."

"Grandma, my father told me today that he would choose a princess for me." Lu Yi said a little embarrassed.

"Can you tell me whose girl it is?"

"My father gave me several portraits of girls to choose from. I think these girls are all good, but I don't know who to choose."

"What about you? Do you have a girl you like?"

"Yes, she is Xu Yushi's daughter, the eldest wife of the Xu family."

"Hahaha, not bad, your courage is commendable." Lin Jiu patted Lu Yi on the shoulder. "But it's not enough just because you like someone else."

"Grandma, I understand that if Miss Xu has no interest in me, I will choose one of the candidates given by my father to be the crown princess."

In the twelfth year of Taichu, Lu Yi married the daughter of Xu Zhiyuan, the imperial censor, as the crown prince. After the marriage, the two became harmonious. A year later, the crown princess gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. At this time, Lu Rui had begun to hand over the government affairs to Lu Yi.

In the 20th year of Taichu, Lu Rui abdicated the throne to the prince, and he took his wife Yang to live in Lin Jiu's palace. A month later, Lu Han also moved in with his wife.

Lin Jiu looked at the two brothers holding their foreheads, "You two brothers don't want me to stop, do you?"

"Mother, you don't want to live in the palace, and you don't like having a lot of people around you to serve you, then your son and daughter-in-law will serve you." Lu Rui sat in front of Lin Jiu.

"Then why you two brothers are still sitting around, come and work for me."

"Yes, mother." The two brothers walked quickly to the fields carrying farm tools, while Lin Jiu took his two daughters-in-law and sat aside to drink tea and chat, smiling from time to time as he looked at the clumsy brothers in the fields.

In this situation, the years are quiet and peaceful.
