Difficult for a son-in-law

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

Ming Zhan's words in the early court had this effect. Many people went home, or sat in meditation with the Buddha, or discussed the possibility of Ming Zhan's words with his staff.

Who is Ming Zhan, the eldest son of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, who was raised in the palace since he was a child, the most beloved nephew of His Majesty the Emperor.And what the royal family pays attention to is golden words. Although Ming Zhan is only the son of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he must pay attention to silver words.

He can't be unsure about anything, so he can just talk nonsense.Looking at the early dynasty, Ming Zhan has reason and evidence, and it is not completely unreasonable to infer based on evidence.

In fact, there was no news for more than half a month, and many people had already agreed in their hearts whether the emperor was something or not, but what Ming Zhan said today was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which almost shocked the civil and military souls of the Manchu Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Wei also got a letter from the palace, and regardless of the rift with Ming Zhan, she hurriedly announced him into the palace, and immediately asked, "Ming Zhan, do you know where the emperor is?"

"Grandmother, I also came to the capital to inquire about my father's news." Ming Zhan said innocently.

"Then you said earlier..."

"This is related to the secrets of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so I'm sorry I can't tell you about it." Ming Zhan looked puzzled.

Empress Dowager Wei was so anxious that the top of her head was about to smoke, Ming Zhan was still taking Joe here, and suddenly became anxious, and said angrily, "When is this, you are still 'secret'! Your Majesty, that is your own uncle! Your father, That's your own father! They don't even have a letter, could it be... Is it just me, the old lady, who is worried?" Then he burst into tears.

"Grandmother said that, doesn't it trap me in a place of infidelity..." Ming Zhan didn't say anything, "You can think what you want, I have a clear conscience." He sighed again and again, "The one who knows me is my heart Worry, those who don't know me can tell me what I want." Flicking his sleeves, he was about to leave.

"Stop!" The Empress Dowager Wei didn't intend to let Ming Zhan go if she couldn't find out her son's whereabouts today.

Ming Zhan frowned, "The Empress Dowager, the subject is an adult man, how can he stay in the harem for a long time. Besides, I really don't know what the Empress Dowager asked, please don't embarrass the subject." The empress dowager walked away.

The Empress Dowager Wei was so angry that she almost passed out. She became the Empress Dowager, and she asked someone to "stop". Few people dared to directly shake their sleeves and face like this. Suddenly, the blood surged, the blood pressure soared, and they almost fainted.

After Ming Zhan stepped out of Ci Ning, he followed a young prince out of the next room, hurriedly supported the Empress Dowager Wei, helped her to sit on the soft couch, and gently persuaded, "Ming Zhan has always had such a temper, grandma should not be with you. He has general knowledge." Serving another cup of warm tea, he drank it slowly while serving Empress Dowager Wei.

This person has gorgeous eyebrows, somewhat resembling the eyebrows of Empress Dowager Wei, he is the Second Prince Feng Minglan.

Empress Dowager Wei gasped for a few breaths before gradually calming down, but the self-esteem hurt by Ming Zhan could not be healed instantly, she was still angry, but the safety of her son was more important than anything else, Empress Dowager Wei held back her anger, biting The back molars asked Feng Minglan, "Lan'er, do you think what Ming Zhan said is true?"

Among the emperor's grandsons, she likes Feng Minglan the most, so she is naturally willing to listen to Feng Minglan's opinion.

"Maybe Ming Zhan has other sources of information." Feng Minglan thought about it.

Empress Dowager Wei suppressed her anger, and cursed in a low voice, "I really don't know what your father and uncle Wang think about setting up such a thing."

Feng Minglan hurriedly persuaded, "Grandmother, Ming Zhan also has Ming Zhan's difficulties. He just has a bad temper and a good heart, otherwise he wouldn't have given us the letter. Think about it, if Father and Uncle Wang are interested To tell the truth, Ming Zhan did not violate the imperial father's will if he really understood."

"Look at his attitude!" Empress Dowager Wei sighed softly, "Ming Li never behaves like this."

Feng Minglan really didn't know how to persuade her. Ming Zhan and Queen Mother Wei must have been enemies in the previous life, and they hated each other.Feng Minglan had no choice but to say, "Grandmother, Ming Zhan has always been wise in political affairs, and the decisions made by father and uncle will not be wrong."

Although the Empress Dowager Wei shut up, she was still a little bit annoyed, and finally said, "It's good that your father and uncle are fine."

In fact, Ming Zhan is also willing to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship with Queen Mother Wei, long live the harmony.But this woman is too ignorant, she can't figure it out at all, she is a stalker, and she doesn't have the slightest restraint of a queen mother.

But think about it, the Empress Dowager Wei used to be a chaihe girl, and she was lucky to become the empress dowager, so she can't demand more from her.

Ming Zhan summoned Li Bing and asked, "Who is the current admiral of the Nine Gates?"

"It's He Qianshan, Mr. He."

"The He family." Ming Zhan pondered, "But Empress Xiaojia's natal family, Duke Yong'an He's family?"

"Yes."

Ming Zhan smiled, speaking of Feng Jingqian is also a life-threatening wife, his first wife is the lady of Shouning Hou Tian's family - Empress Xiaohui, but this empress had a poor fortune and passed away within a few years.Then Feng Jingnan appointed the then imperial concubine He as the empress. This Empress He was able to fight out from the palace full of fans at that time, and she was in the Kunning Palace mainly because she had the eldest son of the emperor.

It's a pity that Empress He's blessing was not much better than that of Empress Tian. The eldest son of the emperor died of illness, and Empress He was overly sad and passed away.

Speaking of which, Feng Jingqian did not fail to establish a crown prince. The eldest son of the emperor died early and was named Crown Prince Huairen at that time.

"Keep an eye on his family, especially the movements of He Qianshan and Yong'an Gong." Ming Zhan added, "and Chen Sixian, the patrol envoy of the imperial capital."

Li Bing took the order to leave, He Yu came in with a smile, and said with a long bow, "Congratulations to Your Highness."

Ming Zhan smiled slightly, "What's the happy event?"

"The Lu Family of the General's Mansion sent someone to deliver the happy news, saying that the fourth aunt's grandma is happy." He Yu said with a smile.

"Oh? So fast?" How old is Mingya?

He Yu felt that his master's reaction was too bizarre, and said, "Your Highness, this is a great joy. The fourth girl has just married and is happy. What a blessing."

Thinking about the thinking and cognition of human beings in this era, Ming Zhan had no choice but to express his happiness along with Daliuer, and said with a smile, "Isn't it? Who is here to send the congratulations?"

"The housekeeper of the general's mansion came to say good news." He Yu said, "The big housekeeper is here with you."

"Let him come here." Originally, Ming Zhan didn't have much interest in seeing a housekeeper, but the family of in-laws is different, especially Mingya is not a direct descendant. Although he doesn't have to pay attention to a housekeeper, human imagination is boundless Therefore, they might think that Ming Zhan has only ordinary feelings for his concubine's younger sister.This is a very subtle attitude, but it will affect Ming Ya's status in her husband's family.

Ming Zhan asked a few simple words, and then prepared a rich gift list for the housekeeper to take back.

Ming Zhan found some free time to visit Mingyan. Mingyan is only in her early twenties, she is still beautiful, and she is already the mother of three children.

It's really not used to seeing a group of little carrots calling him uncle.Ming Zhan put on a straight face, put on a majestic look, and greeted them one by one, then patted their heads, "Take it for fun."

The little luotou was led by the big luotou, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, uncle."

Ming Zhan pulled the youngest and pinched the round face of the child, and said in surprise, "It's so soft."

"You were like this when you were a child." Ming Yan leaned over and hugged the little son who kept pulling her skirt, the little guy hugged and arched like a piglet in his mother's arms, Mingyan stroked the little guy's back, and said to Ming Zhan with a smile, "The third child is not as blessed as you were then."

Ming Zhan glanced at Little Pig's nephew, he wanted to die, and refused to admit it, "I was so fat when I was young?"

Mingyan smiled, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, who wouldn't praise you for being blessed back then." The little guy arched for a while, then went down to play with his brothers and sisters, Mingyan smiled and let him go to the nurse on the floor, " Speaking of which, Mingya is lucky to have good news so soon. Whenever you go to see her, I will go too."

"Just tomorrow."

"Where is the father, when will the father come back?" Ming Yan couldn't help asking.

Ming Zhan hardly understood why Ming Yan would ask this question. Could it be that he knew Feng Jingnan's whereabouts?It’s just that Ming Zhan’s way of expressing surprise now is expressionless. Ming Yan didn’t have any doubts, but smiled understandingly, “A few days ago, I was worried all day. Later, I heard your brother-in-law came back from the court and said that the emperor’s uncle and father are safe. , I was relieved. Forget it, I don’t understand what’s going on outside of you.”

My God, could it be that what he said casually had such an unimaginable effect?Ming Zhan felt that this was too unimaginable, because in order to deal with people's subsequent doubts, he had prepared a lot of serial lies before he could tell them in time.

The ancients were too easy to deceive, right?

He didn't think about his identity at all, whether it was suitable for talking nonsense.

The siblings agreed on a time to visit Mingya, and they talked a lot. Ming Zhan invited Princess Taiyang to greet him, and returned home after having lunch in Shou'anhou's mansion.

In fact, people half believed Ming Zhan's words, so half of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were watching the actions of the Zhennan Palace.

Ming Zhan went to his sister's house first, and then went to visit his pregnant sister. His leisurely manner made people vomit blood.

Mingya's in-law's family is indeed inferior to Mingyan's, of course it doesn't mean that Ya's in-law's family is poor. It is impossible for Feng Jingnan to marry her daughter to a bankrupt family.There are many small bridges, flowing water, rockery and railings in the mansion.

Ming Zhan really couldn't stand this family's demeanor, from the grand master Lu to the famous male in the Lu family, a group of people cheered and greeted him.

Ming Zhan almost wanted to say "free from courtesy and peace", with a wink, He Yu helped the leader, Mr. Lu, and then began to speak. The whole process was more awkward than Ming Zhan's conversations with those courtiers when he went to court.

On the other hand, Mingyan met Mingya very smoothly. She was of a high level and said to the ladies and wives of the Lu family, "Excuse me." After a few more polite words, she went straight to Mingya's yard.

The Duke's House is far from being comparable to the Wang's Mansion, the Lu family has a lot of people, and now Mingya's courtyard is just a slightly larger second-entry house, which is nothing compared to the boudoir of the Wang's Mansion.

The little girl had already come in to report back, Mingya went out to meet Mingyan, Mingyan hurriedly held her arm, "Why did you come out?"

"Big sister." Mingya smiled, with two round dimples on her cheeks, and said softly, "I'm fine, I'm in good health, it's the old ladies and wives who made a fuss."

Mingyan entered the house together with her, and asked in a warm voice, "I remember you weren't in this yard when you got married, why did you move?"

Mingya was a little tired and helpless, this room was full of her dowry girls, and opposite her was her sister, she had nothing to say, and sighed, "It's hard to say."

"what happened?"

"Big sister," Mingya hesitated again, and sent the girls off after tea was served, Fang said, "I just found out too. The husband, he was not born to the wife and the master."

Mingyan shuddered and almost smashed the teacup in her hand, "How dare they deceive you?!"

"Not really." Mingya said with a frown, "I heard that earlier, our master and wife hadn't given birth for a long time, and the aunts in the whole room were silent, and the dregs of the medicines we drank could pile up half the room. Later, there was really nothing to do. For the inheritance of the title, Then he adopted Xianggong. Xianggong was originally the biological son of my second uncle and aunt."

"There is such a thing?" Mingyan thought for a while, and comforted her younger sister, "Actually, it's nothing, the long house has no children, even for the sake of the incense, it must be adopted."

"Elder sister doesn't know something. Just after adoptive husband-in-law, our wife suddenly conceived and gave birth to a younger brother-in-law when she was in her forties." These things were suffocating in Mingya's heart, and no one could tell her, holding the veil Said, "Not only that, since the birth of my uncle, my aunts and gentlemen have followed suit, but in the past three or five years, there have been several concubines and concubines. It's not that my wife is bad to us, but who doesn't love their own flesh and blood? Not to mention the matter of titles."

"This is really..." Although it is only a small general-level title passed on, even if it is a nephew, it cannot be compared with a biological son, Mingyan asked, "How is my brother-in-law? How good you are."

Mingya nodded.

"You have a body, how are you doing now? Did he ever say that he wants to take a child?"

"That's not true," Mingya said, "We are newly married after all, since I heard the news that my fourth brother is coming to the imperial capital, he has been very polite to me."

Mingyan patted Mingya's hand, "Take your time, sir, it's serious to have a son-in-law."

"Big sister, I'm really afraid that my wife will jam people into our room." Ming Ya whispered.

"That's not necessary. Just think about our backgrounds. You are also the imperial prince, and she is only a third-rank imperial order," Ming Yan said in a low voice, "As long as the Zhennan Palace is in place, she will not dare to act presumptuously. Otherwise, you can invite Venerable Master Xiaozhen (Du Ruolan) to come to your house to give lectures, and her head will be clear."

Mingya laughed out loud, "There's no such thing as a big sister."

Ming Yan said solemnly, "It's nothing. We are noble daughters of the royal family. It is his blessing that my brother-in-law married you. With you, this title will definitely not fall on other people's heads. Although the daughter-in-law has survived for 30 years , we also have to look at the situation. If people bully us with our background, wouldn’t it be a joke? Although the elders and juniors have their own rules, you should also show the prince’s score, don’t call people Just underestimate it."

"Isn't that using status to oppress others?" Ming Ya really had a lot of discomforts when she became a wife.

Mingyan smiled and said disapprovingly, "What is identity for? It is to make us live comfortably. I remember when we were young, we were studying. There was a section in the history books that said that Princess Xiaoyi, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu, married the Duke of Chu, and the princess had no heirs. , the Duke of Chu also had several concubine sons, and later Emperor Taizong rejected his request for the title of the eldest son. Why? Taizong Emperor himself said that if there is no son, there is no heir. How many people pleaded for mercy? , Emperor Taizong refused. After the Duke of Chu passed away, the Duke’s Mansion was taken back, and there has been no Duke of Chu since then.”

"If you ask me, your wife is really not a smart person. It is a blessing for her to be married to a county monarch in a general's mansion. She will manage well in the future. With our relationship with the palace, it is not impossible to be the same level as the noble. This can be seen from the outside The benefits. Nowadays, we sacrifice great benefits for small festivals, and women are wise." Mingyan analyzed for Mingya, "Now that you are married, it is different from when you were a daughter at home. At home, we are spoiled guests, what kind of temperament is your mother? , no one can do us any harm. If you marry me, if you still tolerate everything you used to do when you were at home, and others still care about your status as the county lord, after a long time, if you bully you once and you don’t respond, if you bully you twice, you won’t Reaction. People are kind and bullied, you think about the child in your belly, and you should also think about what you will do in the future."

Ming Ya bit her lip, stroked her unpregnant belly, her heart warmed up, "Sometimes I want to make an argument, but I'm useless, and when I get to my mouth, I can't say it."

"Just open your mouth once." Ming Yan said, "It's not too difficult."

Mingyan taught in Mingya's room for a long time, and left with Mingzhan in the afternoon. Before leaving, she deliberately smiled and said to the old lady and wife of the Lu family, "The fourth sister said that because she was pregnant and afraid of noise, she moved the room once. I really need you to take care of me. The fourth sister is the youngest sister in the family. She has been pampered.

The old lady Lu smiled like a chrysanthemum, and she responded with all her mouth, but the expressions of the eldest wife, the second wife, and the third wife were a little unnatural, and they hurriedly covered it up, and they did not escape their bright and bright eyes.

The master of the Lu family sent them all the way outside the gate respectfully, and Ming Zhan got into Mingyan's car directly. There is no need to shy away from siblings, Ming Zhan asked, "Mingya is not safe here? Why did the elder sister mention the house?"

Ming Yan rubbed her forehead, leaned against the carriage, and sighed, "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and three generations of the Lu family crowded into this mansion, because the old lady was here, and the families were not separated. Ming Yaguang has three sister-in-laws and five uncles. They are all growing up, and the girls and boys around them have to have a place to live. The yard when she got married was spacious, with three rooms. Now that people can’t live in it, her mother-in-law said to let them change the yard. The yard is divided into three small yards, one section and the other, so it is also good for a few older uncles to be put aside."

"Let me tell you, this new house was pasted with paper and decorated before the big wedding. The house is not enough to live in, and it didn't suddenly become enough. Her garden is not small. In the garden, the soil circles the two yards and everything comes out. Got it." Ming Yan said, "Ming Ya just got married, even if she is reluctant, she can't open her mouth, so she has to change."

"It's fine if you don't know about this matter. If you know, you have to point them out, lest they think that there is no one in our family." Mingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Mingya's temperament is not soft, but she has patience. It's just the beginning. It's inevitable that you will suffer, let's see her later."

Ming Zhan didn't think that the house was a big deal, "It's just a yard, let it go, it's just you women who are supercilious."

Ming Yan glanced at Ming Zhan, smiled a little, but said sharply, "Women are overhearted? Let's see, this girl has suffered a lot of hidden losses, or the Lu family dares to ask her to change the yard? "

"Eldest sister, did you enlighten her?"

"That silly girl is not stupid, it's just that she is used to being patient at home, and her mother is a fair person, so it is inevitable that she will be partial to her because of this." Mingyan sighed, "Mother-in-law is not the same as mother, and gradually she will understand Already." Princess Taiyang is considered a good person, and her heart is also on her son's heart.

Ming Zhan said, "Father's vision in selecting candidates is completely incomparable to mine."

Ming Yan looked at him with a smile, "I admit it." Brushing her hair back, Ming Yan said, "Speaking of which, although I don't like Ming Fei very much, she is more competitive than Ming Ya."

"Ming Fei is the proud person in front of the imperial grandmother. This time, the imperial grandmother chose left and right, and chose the second bedroom master of the Shouning Hou's mansion. Because the son of the Shouning Hou married the third niece of the empress dowager, the third sister of Wei Ning, the Marquis of Chengen, When Ming Fei married, her mother-in-law's aunt was her own aunt, and she was always close. When she first got married, it was often heard that Young Master Tian and Ming Fei had a sweet relationship. Ming Fei disguised herself as a man and followed her husband out, so she had some reputation. Although you told me that Ming Fei is a little crazy, but she has always acted in a unique way, and now she is married again, so I don't want to say more." Ming Yan shook her head and sighed, "Later, this Young Master Tian stole Ming Fei's dowry girl, She steals food and hasn't wiped her mouth clean, so Ming Fei caught her, beat the girl half to death, and sold her to a brothel."

"This is too much." Ming Zhan said.Ming Fei came from across the country, so he naturally couldn't accept monogamy and multiple concubines. However, selling people to brothels was too much.

"Who says it's not?" Ming Yan said, "Send it to the Zhuangzi or deal with it quietly. Without anyone noticing, she made it known to everyone, and the Shouning Marquis Mansion will lose face. This girl After all, it was the Hou's who went out, sold it to Hualou and became popular overnight, Young Master Tian lost face, and was ridiculed by others outside, how could he not blame her? However, this Young Master Tian is also good at doing things, he went to Hualou to get this girl He redeemed it again and raised it in a foreign house."

Ming Zhan seemed to be listening to a novel, and he really enjoyed it, and asked, "What happened after that?"

"Later, Ming Fei took the mother-in-law, maid, and servant to look for them. There was another commotion, and the house was almost bought. Master Tian angrily took out a sword to kill her, but Ming Fei stretched out his neck and asked him to cut it. A group of people It was all pulling and persuading, but in the end it was Ming Fei who snatched Master Tian's sword and almost killed him." Mingyan sighed, "Master Tian ran away in fright, and even hid in our house for a while. For a while, I dare not even go home. Otherwise, I would not know so clearly." Ming Yan was helpless, "I have never seen Ming Fei have such courage before. But if there is a way, how can the Shouning Marquis be willing to offend her?" In our house, even Mrs. Shouning Hou Shizi thinks it's a bit disrespectful, please come to the house clearly, Mingfei will allow Master Tian to go home."

Ming Zhan laughed softly, saying that Ming Fei is also a genius in a certain way.

Ming Yan thought that Ming Zhan was laughing at Ming Fei's actions, and felt it was a bit ridiculous, and the corners of her lips curled up, "The Lu family is also ignorant. Compared with Ming Fei, they are not grateful for marrying a girl like Ming Ya. .”

"I'm married, I'm married, my eldest sister has ordered the Lu family once, let me tell you, let's see what they do next. If the Lu family doesn't know what's good, I'll take care of it."

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything about this girl when I came here in the past, I just pay more attention to her." Since her wedding, Mingyan has become more aware of the principle of mutual support between brothers and sisters, and said in a gentle voice, "Take your time, the Lu family is not Fool."
