Chapter 597: The Ecstatic Long Wilbur
What happened in Xianzhang Marquis' Mansion quickly spread throughout the circle of powerful people in the capital.
"The niece of Liyang Marquis's wife is really brave."
Chen Yan was also shocked when she heard the news. "If she succeeded, Long Wei would definitely be in a state of panic right now."
"What happened?"
Concubine Lu Jing had just returned from asking Emperor Jiajing for instructions on palace affairs and found that the atmosphere around her was weird.
"Your Highness could never have imagined this." Chen Yan said with a smile, "Today is Marquis Xianzhang's birthday, and Marquis Changwei is attending the banquet. The niece of Marquis Liyang's wife actually framed him for having an affair with her."
Concubine Lu was startled. She didn't like such shady tactics. "Chang Wei Bo is as beautiful as jade and talented. He is also a trusted minister of Your Majesty. If he is willing, why would he lack any women? Why would he be so hungry and choose food?"
"Your Majesty has a good eye." Chen Yan said with a smile, "What a coincidence, it was His Royal Highness Prince Jing who testified, and that woman's accusation was foiled."
Concubine Lu Jing sighed, "When Qin loses its power, the whole world will chase it. This matter was ultimately caused by the fact that Chang Wei Bo had no children. Princess Huating... was a good person, not competitive, not mediocre, what a pity."
Emperor Jiajing also got the news at this moment, and said unhappily: "I asked him to recruit more guards, but the fool was lazy. If he had more guards, why would he be framed?"
Rui Jingxian came to report the matter in person, "Your Majesty, Liyang Earl's side..."
"What a scumbag!" The Taoist's eyes showed disgust. "Liyang Bo was disrespectful. He will be fined three years' salary."
"Yes." This time it was Huang Jin who responded.
Zhang Tong outside the palace whispered, "Chang Weibo was almost tricked, but Your Majesty only fined him for three years?"
A eunuch beside him chuckled, "These days, apart from the poor, how many people live on salaries? This three-year salary fine is just an excuse."
Zhang Tong was anxious when he heard this, "What does that mean?" Seeing that the eunuch refused to tell him, he begged, "Chang Wei Bo is very kind to us! We are worried about him. Please tell us, and we will treat you to a drink later."
The eunuch laughed and said, "Your Majesty is hinting that Liyang Bo has fallen out of favor. What do those women who have fallen out of favor look like when you see them in the palace?"
"Isn't that right? Eat when you should, drink when you should. Your Majesty should go to the harem less often anyway."
Since he became a Taoist, Daoye has become even more indifferent to women. In addition, he has retired to the Western Garden, so it is even more difficult for him to go to the harem. Except for Concubine Lu, the entire harem is almost the same as being banished to the cold palace.
Uh!
The eunuch was choked and rubbed Zhang Tong's head. "They are outsiders, different from the harem. Once the outside world knows that Liyang Bo has fallen out of favor, as the saying goes, a broken drum will be beaten by everyone, and then they will be attacked by everyone."
"Why are those people attacking him?"
"First, to seize his property and land, and second, to show it to Your Majesty. Whoever takes action against the minister Your Majesty hates will be credited. Do you understand, boy?"
Zhang Tong was at a loss for a long time, "What a trouble."
This eunuch has always been famous for his extraordinary means, which is also the ability that allowed him to gain a foothold beside Emperor Jiajing. In the past, he had no patience to explain these things to others, but today he talked endlessly about this matter, breaking it down and teaching it to Zhang Tong bit by bit.
When he was thirsty and went to find some tea, an old eunuch smiled and said, "You are very patient today."
The eunuch was startled, "Yes, what happened to us today?"
The eunuch made a cup of tea and watched Zhang Tong sweeping the floor. He suddenly laughed, "Looking at him is like seeing our ignorant past. There are few clean people in the palace. This kid has become a rare commodity."
A confidant beside him whispered, "Then should we take Zhang Tong back?"
The eunuch shook his head, "No need."
The confidant was puzzled, "Since it's a clean one, why not keep it next to you?"
The eunuch shook his head again, "It's not that I don't want to, but..." He pointed to his chest, "It's dirty here, and I'm afraid of dirtying him."
Jiang Qingzhi galloped all the way, his riding skills were beyond his level. He overtook every car and horse he saw, which caused a lot of speculation in the capital.
When they arrived at Xin'an Lane, Jiang Qingzhi jumped off his horse, threw the reins to Mo Zhan, and hurried into the lane.
"My uncle is back."
"Mmmmmmm!"
Jiang Qingzhi, who was usually amiable, didn't even bother to greet the neighbors today. He just jogged along, looking a little flustered.
"What happened, uncle?"
The neighbors were guessing.
Since coming to this world, Jiang Qingzhi has always felt that he is somewhat out of place. Sun Chonglou is a simpleton, and the two depend on each other for survival, but he is more like an elder brother, bringing a simpleton to venture alone in this world.
Whenever he had nothing to do or woke up in the middle of the night, Jiang Qingzhi always felt that there was something between him and the world.
He felt that this feeling of alienation would always exist until he left this world.
After getting married, I have a wife by my side. When I sleep at night, I can feel her warmth and the sound of her breathing.
When he woke up in the morning and felt the person next to him, from being uncomfortable at first to getting used to it later, Jiang Qingzhi actually found that the feeling of alienation was much less.
At this moment, his mind was full of random thoughts, and he even thought about his wife passing away in an accident.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingzhi suddenly felt his heart contracting violently, and an extreme pain came from his left chest.
At this moment, he deeply understood what heartache was.
"Uncle!" Fu Cheng was waiting in the front yard. As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Qingzhi rushed over.
"My Lord!" The maid bowed in the backyard, but Jiang Qingzhi turned a deaf ear to her and ran quickly.
He ran out of the bedroom and stood outside, panting, but did not dare to go in and take a look.
All kinds of speculations came to mind. Huang Yaner came out and saw Jiang Qingzhi, who was panting with his hands on his knees and looked a little dazed, and said happily: "Madam, the uncle is back."
Then, Huang Yaner noticed that a look of joy appeared on the confused face of Jiang Qingzhi.
"Miss!"
Jiang Qingzhi strode in. Li Tian was sitting under the window, holding a book in her hand. She looked up and said, "Husband."
"Aren't you feeling unwell? Have you asked a doctor to see you? How is it? Where's the medicine?" Jiang Qingzhi's series of questions stunned Li Tian. She said, "I just fainted suddenly. There's no need to mobilize so many people."
"What do you know?" Jiang Qingzhi turned around and said, "Yan'er, go to the front yard and tell Fucheng to get the imperial physician."
"It will only take a while and it will be fine later." Li Tian didn't think it was a big problem.
"Let's see first." Jiang Qingzhi sat down, and the couple sat opposite each other. Li Tian felt that Jiang Qingzhi was a little strange today, "Did my husband encounter any problems?"
"I met a woman at the Du family today..."
As Jiang Qingzhi continued to talk, Li Tian said, "We were childless for a long time after marriage, which gave rise to many speculations from the outside world. It was my fault."
Jiang Qingzhi held her hand and said, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. Those people are just bored."
"But we need to have children in the end." Li Tian lowered his head. "For example, the Duke of Cheng's Mansion had no children in the beginning. My sister-in-law said that she felt like she was living a miserable life in those years. If she still had no children, she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Zhu family. She could only ask for a divorce..."
This woman! She has been under tremendous pressure, but she still manages the Bo Mansion peacefully every day and gets along with Jiang Qingzhi and his wife with a smile.
Jiang Qingzhi said, "So what if I don't have children? If I don't have children, then I don't have children. Do I have to rely on them for my old age? I have money! What's there to be afraid of if I have money?"
"My husband is talking nonsense again." Li Tian felt that he was comforting her.
But Jiang Qingzhi was speaking from his heart.
In later generations, as life concepts changed, more emphasis was placed on personal feelings, resulting in the collapse of the original family system.
Get married, have kids, push them hard, work hard to make money so that they don't lose out at the starting line... Watch him (her) study hard all the way until he (she) graduates from high school and leaves you.
At that moment, many parents felt reluctant but also relieved, but then it was almost like parting.
The children worked hard in a foreign land, or even went abroad... At most, they would come back to visit during the holidays. Gradually, the visits became a routine...
When the children have their own children, the parents help take care of the babies, and when the grandchildren are old enough to go to school independently, they suddenly find themselves very embarrassed.
If we continue to stay, the different living habits of the two generations will lead to many conflicts.
In the end, most people chose to leave.
Thus, the parents seemed to have completed a life mission. Looking back, it seemed like a dream.
Jiang Qingzhi had pondered this question in his previous life, and even the relatives who were looking for a match for him advised him that he would be miserable and lonely when he got old without children...
But most of the elderly people Jiang Qingzhi saw in the community where he lived lived alone. Their children would come to visit them occasionally, and many of them didn't even come at all.
Therefore, he thinks that whether to get married or not depends on fate. If you meet the right person, you can get married. If you don't meet the right person, then it's fine as it is.
As for children, he feels that it is okay to have them or not.
What offspring, what incense, in Jiang Qingzhi's view, having children is more like a life experience. As for raising children to provide for old age, or to have someone to rely on in old age, forget it! If you are lucky, it's okay, but if you are unlucky, your children will not be useful, or they will rely on you to start a business or study for a master's degree...
Studying, getting married, buying a house, dowry... In the blink of an eye, all the hard work in the first half of my life to make money was done for my children.
No one believes the truth. The imperial physician came and saw that Jiang Qingzhi was a little nervous. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wei. The county lady looks fine."
Jiang Qingzhi smiled, and the imperial physician took his pulse. After a while, he saw that he frowned slightly, and Jiang Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat.
"A doctor is like a parent." The imperial physician asked, "The county lady, there is no need to be shy about anything. May I ask... has your menstrual cycle been a little irregular recently?"
Monthly letter?
Jiang Qing was startled, and then his body shook.
But Li Tian was stunned, "Yes."
The imperial physician stroked his beard and smiled, "This pulse is like beads rolling on a plate. I was already 70% sure. This month's prediction is uncertain... Lord Wei."
"But..." Jiang Qingzhi's heart beat faster.
"Should we prepare the wedding money?"
Mr. Jiang, who had previously been dismissive of the child, was stunned.
He murmured, "I'm going to be a father? I'm going to have a child? Holy shit! I'm going to be a father!"
crazy.
Long Wilbur is crazy.
Each servant in the house was rewarded with 500 coins.
Two sets of clothes.
Just as the servants were wondering why, Huang Yaner came to the front yard.
"My wife is pregnant."
