The Major General's Country Wife

Early the next morning, Yun Changsheng woke up and found that Xu Changfeng hadn't left.

But he just glanced at it, then bowed his head to eat in ignorance, and he must not hurry up to talk to him.

"Wake up so early?" Xu Changfeng was embarrassed and had nothing to say.

Yesterday he apologized while drinking, but later he talked a lot of nonsense, and the more he thought about it, the more embarrassing he became, and he looked at Yun Changsheng with a little averted eyes.

"En." Yun Changsheng replied him with just one word, seeing that Xu Changfeng was expressionless and pretending to be calm, but the tips of his ears that were gradually turning red gave him away.

It seems that he still has some impressions of last night. It is really uncommon for such a person who is upright and clear all day long to make some kind and aggrieved expressions.

"I was on duty for my colleagues a few days ago, so I can stay at home if I have nothing to do today." Xu Changfeng had nothing to say.

"Oh." Yun Changsheng said another word.

"Want to go somewhere to play?" Xu Changfeng continued his efforts, and got used to bringing food to Yun Changsheng, "Eat more."

Yun Changsheng glanced at him, unable to continue his cold face, and said, "Aren't you going back to the Duke's mansion?"

"No." Xu Changfeng said, "I'm not needed there."

"Heh." Yun Changsheng laughed, as if he needed him.

But thinking about it, if he hadn't had a good fate, "Huh?" Yun Changsheng suddenly remembered a sentence his grandfather said, "Xu Changfeng is destined to have no children or grandchildren because of his fate."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was about to speak, Xu Changfeng became stunned in an instant.

"It's okay." Yun Changsheng said, "You're going to give up just like that? Don't care about anything?"

"I will find a way to settle my younger brother and the others. The others are powerless." Xu Changfeng finally said.

The rules of the aristocratic family are impossible to abide by, but they must be obeyed. Everyone is trying to survive within this rule.

"If you don't care about the family, I think their hard work will be wasted." Yun Changsheng said.

"However, if you continue to be the housekeeper." Xu Changfeng paused, and said with some reluctance: "What about the dowry?"

"Dowry?" Yun Changsheng was startled, but then he realized, "Dowry is not a small amount to marry into the royal family."

Xu Changfeng was stunned, and then he said unnaturally: "There is no way, the Duke's Mansion can't get it out now."

Even if it can be taken out, Xu Changfeng doesn't want to add it to it. Many things need money, so how can it be invested in the royal family.

"Where did you fight for the right to housekeeper?" Yun Changsheng asked lightly, but his heart was full of joy.

"Don't worry about it." Xu Changfeng couldn't eat anymore, put down his chopsticks, and thought for a moment

Afterwards, he said seriously: "I didn't want you to work hard as a housekeeper before, but later I was afraid that you would be controlled by others, so I thought about some rights."

"What now?" Yun Changsheng asked.

"Now letting you be the housekeeper is to let you add money to it." Xu Changfeng said: "I know that you have some property, and you have 2 taels of silver at hand. There is no guarantee that no one will pay attention to you."

"That's why you want to give up the housekeeping right?" Yun Changsheng asked with a smile, Xu Changfeng is really cute.

"It's not all." Xu Changfeng said truthfully, "The position of the son has been decided, and it is impossible for the wife of the son to ignore the family."

"Oh." Yun Changsheng knew that this was just a small point. If Xu Changfeng was willing and Xu Guogong agreed, everything would not be difficult.

The key point is the money problem that Xu Changfeng mentioned. He must be afraid that he will take over in the future and be oppressed by others to add money to it, so he gave up.

"No one can hold my head down and do what I don't want to do." Yun Changsheng said.

"Imperial power." Xu Changfeng smiled wryly, and explained to Yun Changsheng, "If the wife of the mansion says you are unfilial, or lists some evidence of crimes, let alone your reputation, even the royal family has the right to deal with you."

"A dog bites a mouse." Yun Changsheng sneered.

"What?" Xu Changfeng was taken aback.

"The language of the country people." Yun Changsheng said: "People who don't know it all say that."

He looked at Xu Changfeng with a smile: like you knowledgeable aristocratic families, you don't even understand the meaning, and of course you don't know how to say it, it's ridiculous!

Xu Changfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, although he didn't know what he meant, but he knew it was not a good word, he looked at Yun Changsheng dumbfounded, he was really a little thorn.

"Actually, there is no need to give up the power of the housekeeper." Yun Changsheng said: "It is such an important thing for the noble girls in the mansion to marry into the royal family. Let them concentrate on preparing the dowry."

"The Duke's mansion is struggling to make ends meet, and everyone in the world knows it." Yun Changsheng smiled, "It's no one's fault if there is no dowry."

"However, there are still some things in the warehouse. Take them out to sell or add to the dowry." Xu Changfeng said here, and suddenly got up and said, "I have something to do, wait for me to come back."

"Huh?" Yun Changsheng looked at Xu Changfeng's hurried back in doubt, not knowing why he suddenly lost his nerve.

……

The gate of the Duke's Mansion was closed. After receiving the order yesterday, Duke Xu ordered that no visitors be received.

One after another of the people who came to congratulate him, none of them could enter the Duke's Mansion. Everyone didn't understand why the gates of the Duke's Mansion were closed in such a beautiful time.

Everyone is watching outside to find out, some people know it well, the glory in the past is not there, but now they are climbing up one by one.

How could it be that easy.

At this moment Xu Guogong was sitting on the first seat, looking at the two daughter-in-laws who were born on the same day with a smile that was not a smile, the corners of his lips were full of sarcasm.

"Ignore the precepts of the ancestors and climb up to the royal family, what a guts." Xu Guogong said.

The Xu family in the main hall bowed their heads one after another, as if there was no one there. Qian and Xu also lowered their heads, but they did not appear to be panicked or frightened.

"Hmph." Looking at their appearance, Xu Guogong naturally knew what they were thinking, so he didn't say any more: "Take the family law and pay thirty heavy responsibilities."

"Father." Xu Chongwen exclaimed, "This will kill them."

Qian and Xu's eyes were full of horror, they couldn't believe Xu Guogong used family law against them.

"You should die for humiliating your ancestors." Xu Guogong was stern and selfless, "If someone talks too much, after the family law, Hugh will go back to her mother's house."

"Plop." Qian fell to the ground, trembling all over, his face pale.

Xu suppressed her panic, straightened her back and said: "Father, you can consider the dignity of the royal family by doing this, and there are two granddaughters who are about to marry as concubines."

"It is because of the majesty of the royal family that you are being punished." Xu Guogong sat motionless, his expression unchanged. "The precepts from the ancestors and the royal family complement each other and have been passed down for generations. It is because of your greed that you did not refuse in time to cause the current situation."

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so he ignored it for a while, and the queen lives deep in the inner palace. How do you know what happened a few generations ago?" Xu Guogong was ruthless in his words, and broke their minds in public. It's all your fault."

"If you rejected one or two at that time, you don't need to refer to the ancestral precepts, and the emperor will remember this matter, so why would you choose Xu's daughter as a concubine?"

"If the emperor violated the founding emperor's ancestral precepts, it would be a stain to be mentioned someday. If you are not punished, you will be allowed to keep you rebellious people to continue doing evil?"

"I, I." Xu felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't escape the beating. She tried to look at her husband, but found that he didn't give her a glance.

"Grandpa." The old lady Yang said: "Punishment should be punished, but if it is spread, the emperor will know?"

"It's just to spread the word. It's best for the emperor to know." Xu Guogong glanced at Yang Shi, "Let the emperor know that it's not the Xu family's evil intentions to plot the royal family, but these two women's bad deeds to discredit the family."

"The most hateful thing is." Xu Guogong gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if you agree to a marriage, but for the sake of selfishness, two adult princes are included in it. Do you want to put the Xu family to death?"

"Slap." Xu Guogong slapped the table, "Hit, hit hard, if you die

It's all over, if you live, it's your fate. "

"Grandfather, grandfather." Xu Jingyi fell to her knees, "Please forgive mother, please."

"Father, father, save mother." Xu Jingyi climbed to Xu Chongwen's feet again, crying uncontrollably, "Father, please father."

"Alas!" Xu Chongwen shook his head, turning his face to one side to express that he was helpless, "A side concubine is a concubine, and the family can decide everything for you. If you have a good or bad relationship in the future, if the family doesn't work hard, your life will be ruined." .”

"Do you still think they are ruined?" Xu Guogong was furious, his eyes were black and cold, "why don't you think about whether the whole family of the Duke's mansion is still alive?"

"Who doesn't know, the emperor hasn't appointed a crown prince yet, so it's possible for him to grow up and become a descendant. No matter who is in the top position, the Duke's Mansion will not please him."

This is what Xu Guogong is most angry with, otherwise he would not take the opportunity to stir up family law, "Will generations of military generals in the Duke's mansion suffer from suspicion and jealousy? Use your poor brains to think about it?"

After Xu Guogong's words fell, everyone in the Xu family focused on Qian and Xu. They only realized at this moment how dangerous these two marriages were.

The old lady Yang also sighed at this time: "How can I accept the marriage of the two princes? Even if I want to stand in line, it will be difficult. It may bring disaster one day."

"Grandmother." Xu Jingyi wiped away her tears, and said firmly: "The granddaughter is willing to be punished for her mother, and at the same time promises that she will never bring disaster to the Duke's Mansion."

"By you?" Xu Guogong sneered, how could he fail to see her ambition, "A little side concubine is just a small concubine who gives birth to an heir and serves the prince and concubine, how can you not implicate the Duke?" government."

"Yes." Xu Jingyi raised her head and said, "As long as the Second Prince ascends the throne, the Duke's Mansion will not be implicated."

"Heh." Xu Guogong laughed it off, then turned to Xu Jingyuan, the second wife's daughter-in-law, and said, "What about you?"

"Grandfather." Xu Jingyuan looked at Duke Xu, then at Mrs. Xu, gritted her teeth and said, "The granddaughter will not implicate the Duke's mansion."

"Okay, okay, hahaha." Xu Guogong couldn't stop laughing, and the sadness inside spread to the ears of everyone in the Xu family, "Okay, bring the pen and ink."

Xu Guogong said: "Then write down your words. From the time you get married, you are not allowed to step into the Duke's mansion again. You will have no relationship with the Duke's mansion in this life."

"Father."

"My lord."

"grandfather."

Zhengtang exclaimed in surprise, he didn't expect Xu Guogong to be so decisive, he wanted to cut off his relatives and expel the two daughters-in-law from the family.

"Grandfather." Xu Jingyi's eyes widened in surprise, then she said angrily, "Are you trying to force us to die?"

"If you keep your duty, this handwritten book will not be revealed to the world, so why are you forced to die." Xu Guogong said: "It's up to you whether you write it or not, the result is the same."

……

When Yun Changsheng heard the news about Xu Changfeng, he was momentarily amazed at Xu Guogong's decisiveness, that he could really have nothing to do with the royal family.

"Mr. Xu is worthy of being a loyal minister and good general. Unfortunately, all this should be caused by the emperor." Yun Changsheng blinked.

"The emperor is wooing the Xu family in a disguised form, but he is reluctant to hand over a knife." Xu Changfeng said: "No matter who ascends the throne, they will leave a handle. If you want to eradicate the Duke's Mansion, you don't need to bother to place charges."

"En." Yun Changsheng said: "Based on the family background of the Duke's Mansion, the emperor doesn't even give him the position of concubine, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the true meaning of it."

The two tacitly didn't mention Qian and Xu, but thanked Xu Guogong was still sober and didn't really mobilize them. They were just punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days.

What Xu Changfeng said next made Yun Changsheng's eyes light up and he was puzzled, "Our wedding date is set in early autumn, and there are still two months left, so we must prepare well."

"The wedding date has been set?" Yun Changsheng was overjoyed, without hesitation, he asked, "Aren't you going to prepare the two prostitutes to get married?"

"I'm the eldest, so I can't beat you." Xu Changfeng said with a smile: "If you wait until after they get married, you have to wait until the next spring, the summer heat can't make you suffer like this."
