girl strategy

Chapter 96: Merry-go-round, get a good impression!

Luo Chuchen really wanted to show his merits in front of Shen Cangyu.It's a pity that she has replaced Bai's real identity with the 'truth'. She guessed that Shen Cangyu would not be willing to do something like selling meat twice for a sheep.

In the Chunhui courtyard, talking and laughing with Mrs. Luo, she was sure that she was just bored and had something to say, so after sending someone to bring her back, Luo Chuchen felt a little relieved.

I thought something really happened in the mansion!
Get her back in such a hurry.

Startled her.

Chatted with all the girls and wives in the room all afternoon, on the surface they were kind and friendly, and the conversation was very happy... Uh, well, Luo Chufen wanted to blow his hair a few times on the way, but they were all 'drawn' by Luo Chuwei's spring and autumn brushwork Yes, Luo Chuchen was also tired from watching.

A group of women get together, even if they are noble ladies, they may not be talking about high status, it is nothing more than Zhang's parents and Li's family, and there is no end to gossip. Abducted onto Pei Zuochen.

"My nephew also has a hard life. He said he wanted to be filial to his eldest niece for a year. He even resigned from his official position!" Mrs. Pei said with a sigh.

"It's only natural to keep filial piety for your wife for a year, but why do you need to resign!" Mrs. Luo frowned slightly, and asked, "If I remember correctly, he should have been admitted after winning Tanhua. Hanlin became a lecturer, and then...where did he go?"

"Later, I was sent to the Ministry of Rites to become a doctor." Mrs. Pei replied with a smile, quite proud.

"Oh, it's a pity that the doctor is from the fifth rank, so he resigned as soon as he said his words." Xu's face was full of surprise, and he sighed regretfully, "If our eldest girl is still alive, we will be given the fifth rank after the edict. Please come down, it’s not easy for Fang to get married with a letter!” Besides, after Cheng Engong is done playing and Pei Zuochen inherits the title, she will be a dignified duchess, super class!

In terms of title alone, she is even more respectable than her Marquis Marquis.It's a pity that the blessing in life is not great enough, even if there is overwhelming wealth, it can't afford it!Isn't this dead?Xu frowned secretly.

"Who says it's not!" Mrs. Luo nodded in agreement, "It's still her fate, but it's a pity that Pei Tanhua, it's so difficult to pass the exam at a young age, it's not easy to be a fifth-rank official at this age, it's hard to get it It’s because of her that she resigned. The boss..." She turned her head to call Xu, and said seriously: "After a year, Pei Tanhua's wife has passed the filial piety. When you want to get back, you must remember to tell the boss , it is inevitable that we will have a relationship with our in-laws."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will never forget it." Xu got up quickly and said yes.

On the side, Mrs. Pei also hurriedly spoke up, "Mother, Zuo Chen resigned from office and kept his wife filial piety. I believed it in my natal family... Now that the elder girl is unfortunately passed away, Zuo Chen is obliged to keep his wife's filial piety and even resign from office, so why is it such a pity!"

What Mrs. Pei said was very affectionate, but Mrs. Luo frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.Seeing her like this, Luo Chuwei, who was sitting next to her, quickly opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, please don't say that, to resign for the eldest sister, that's Cousin Pei who is affectionate and has a loyal personality. , Maybe I didn't think about asking for anything, I just thought it should be taken for granted, but we didn't see it!"

"In this capital, Dijieer, in a family like ours, how many sons of other families, let alone resign after the unfortunate death of their wives, and how many can't even keep their filial piety for a year, Re Xiaoli I don’t know how many people get married. Not to mention those who just pretend to be filial to their wives in order to gain a good reputation, but when they move left and right, countless aunts have passed through the house!"

"It's just that my aunt's house is full of people, but if the trouble doesn't come to light, everyone still has to say that they value love and righteousness. But Cousin Pei..." Luo Chu paused slightly, then raised her head and asked Mrs. Pei, "I heard that Cousin Pei only stays at home recently. He is a vegetarian in sackcloth and has even changed his playful and troublesome temperament? It's just for the big sister, how rare it is." Luo Chuwei He sighed and said, as if he couldn't be more moved.

Pei Zuochen is a well-known flirtatious talent in Beijing, the long-time guest of Qin Lou Chu Coffin, who once set a record of staying in the head oiran's house in Cangxiang Lou without going out for a month, which can be said to be 'famous'.

——The waves fly up.

"After all, it's the first couple, and Zuo Chen is really heartbroken when the eldest girl is gone. How can he have the courage to play around!" Mrs. Pei sighed quietly, and sent Pei Zuochen to the third niece. Behavior, described as "playful and troublesome" and expressed quite satisfaction.

As expected of a scholar, he can speak! !
Waves, swings, and flows are just young and frivolous, love to play and play... how nice it is to say.

"Hey, although Cousin Pei values ​​love and righteousness, it's inevitable that the eldest sister will be hurt if she goes, but Second Auntie still needs to care more about him. Don't hurt yourself because of this, it's not good!" Luo Chuwei hastily comfort.

"What Wei'er said is very true!" Mrs. Pei nodded.

The two talked to each other, and Mrs. Luo occasionally added a sentence or two to join in the fun, and the atmosphere in the room was not awkward.Only Luo Chuchen sat on the side with his mouth twitching, feeling extremely depressed, and she wanted to die when she heard it.

Knowing that Pei Zuochen is keeping his wife filial piety and resigning from office, wearing hemp and eating vegetarian food seems to be extremely affectionate... Luo Chuchen really doesn't feel moved at all, and he doesn't think that Pei Zuochen did it because he felt guilty about killing her, but... ...Obviously, this guy is using her to improve his character! !

Pei Zuochen killed his wife——no matter how Shen Cangyu helped him solve it, it was undeniable that even if it was solved, this matter still affected his reputation very much.As a scholar, he still fell in love with Tanhualang, and was determined to be a scholar of the Qingliu school. For Pei Zuochen, fame, an invisible and intangible thing, is almost as important as life.

Pei Zuochen came from an honorable background, and wanted to follow the literati's Qing school, so his innate conditions were not very good. For military generals who earned their fame through fighting, the literati's attitude was never very high. Fortunately, Pei Zuochen has the ability to pass the exam. Only then was it accepted by the Qing School.

——It was very reluctant to accept.

This can be seen from the fact that he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, but did not continue to hang around, but was sent abroad.

From the perspective of a fifth-rank official and Pei Zuochen's age, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, this is really quite amazing.You know, how many low-level officials will not be able to climb to the fifth rank in their lifetime.But on the other hand, judging from Pei Zuochen's background and talent...

——The Ministry of Rites is the place for the elderly. The one who is in charge of etiquette and sacrifices, even if he is in charge of the royal family, but he is a young man, what can he do? God damn it, how many pillars should be offered for this festival? Incense" "Whether there should be one incense burner or three on the table during the New Year Festival" "If there are three, where should they be placed"...

Does this sound like a word?

Is there hope for the future?
Even if he became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Zuochen would not...

Uh, well, Shangshu is a first-rank official, and he can enter the cabinet with one step. If he is really allowed to be... Pei Zuochen said: He is still very willing.

However, it's useless if Pei Zuochen wants to, just follow his current pace, take it easy, take it easy, and "care for the aged" in the Ministry of Rites without merit or demerit, Pei Zuochen can guarantee that within 50 years, he will climb Not to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Well, let alone Shangshu, he may not even be able to climb up to be a servant.

For 50 years, he must die!

No, have to change!Pei Zuochen roared furiously in his heart, but it's a pity that the roar was the same, but it was of no use.Emperor Yongping's perception of the Pei family was mediocre, and he didn't value the Empress Dowager Pei and Concubine Pei more because of the existence of Pei Guifei. On the contrary, he seemed to suppress it.After all, a relative is born to be feared by the royal family, especially a relative who is surrounded by a prince.

As for the hope of Duke Cheng'en's mansion—the crown prince!This person is in an embarrassing situation. Although he has the title of prince, as a second in command under the emperor's own father, he really doesn't have much real power. Even if he wants to promote his cousin, he is really powerless.As for Pei Zuochen, Tanhua's background is correct, it proves that he is knowledgeable.But being knowledgeable doesn't mean having the ability to do things, just like Pei Zuochen's ability to do things...

Don't say it's very bad, it's just average. If you can't do big things, you can't cause big disasters. Sincerely, there is nothing outstanding. Even in the place of the Ministry of Rites, he is not the most capable one. Therefore, Emperor Yongping It is normal to ignore him.

Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, this fifth-rank official is a tasteless one to Pei Zuochen and Duke Cheng'en's mansion—it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it.

Give up, anyway, from the fifth rank, although there is no prospect of promotion, but the size is still good.But let's say it happily, Pei Zuochen is the future Cheng Engong, the dignified and super-ranked title, in the court, it is a prominent existence, and the real power is a small official who 'retires' , It's hard to say.

The end is a dilemma.It is precisely because of this that Pei Zuochen married the eldest girl of Anling Houfu under the suggestion of his mother, Princess Shuhui, in order to find a tiger charm for the emperor's uncle and make meritorious service and promotion.

Of course, Emperor Yongping didn't know about the news that the Tiger Talisman might have been in Mrs. Bai's hands and was now in the Marquis of Anling.This is just Princess Shuhui's judgment based on Princess Bai's character.

Not proven at all.

Princess Shuhui asked her son to marry Miss Luo just for a gamble, of course it would be good if she won, and she would soar into the sky.It doesn't matter if you lose, because Miss Luo's family background is not unworthy of her son, and there is Luo Jinwen, the old man who is a cabinet minister, as a bonus. If they get along well with each other, Luo Jinwen will help her son-in-law It is not impossible to drag Pei Zuochen directly out of the Ministry of Rites.

Princess Shuhui just didn't expect her son to be so impulsive, so... without alcohol, it's fine to beat his wife when he was drunk, but he was beaten to death! !

There were many twists and turns, because of this matter, the entire Cheng En Gong Mansion lost all energy for the New Year, and finally relied on Prince Rong to calm things down, but Pei Zuochen's reputation was indeed greatly affected.

Everything in the world is: easy to break, hard to repair.

When the yellow mud is wiped in the trousers, it is either shit or shit, not to mention... What Pei Zuochen wiped is shit!

Asking Pei Zuochen to resign and observe his wife's filial piety honestly for a year is the fastest and most convenient way to restore his reputation.After all, Pei Zuochen was indeed too flirtatious before he got married, his personal morals were already stigmatized, and his wife died of an inexplicable illness within half a year after marrying... He expressed indecently, how would he continue in the future? marry?

Which family is right dares to marry him!

Are you really not afraid of death?It is not easy to cultivate a lady of the family!Even if it is the family status of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, you can't just 'compensate' it casually!
Therefore, for the sake of reputation and future, he resigned honestly and kept his wife filial piety, pretending to be a prodigal son who turns back and is a passionate person.This is the best choice for Pei Zuochen.

Luo Chuchen clearly understood the truth of this, so he couldn't bear the praise of Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Pei and others to Pei Zuochen.This is obviously using her as a stepping stone to gain reputation.

She was strangled to death, and she didn't take revenge!But to watch the murderer pretend to be affectionate, and use her 'dead body' to claim his reputation, how can it not make people burn with anger.

In particular, her family members, the Luo gang in the Anling Hou Mansion, contributed to the murderer and praised him all the time. It's really...

Watching Luo Chuwei and Pei's say you and me, you come and go, the fun is extremely fun.Luo Chuchen opened his mouth several times to sarcastically, but in the end he swallowed forcefully.

After all, her character is set there. In front of Mrs. Luo, how can she, who is honest, kind and understanding, suddenly show her 'venomous tongue' nature?What's more, Mrs. Luo loves her eldest grandson-in-law Pei Zuochen more than her eldest granddaughter. People are very happy to hear that Mrs. Pei and Luo Chuwei are flattering each other, so what's the matter with her interjection?

It doesn't have to be obnoxious enough.

Sitting alive all afternoon in the main room of Chunhui Courtyard, Luo Chuchen also suffered a lot of 'trouble', and the women in the room didn't know which nerve was wrong, so they grabbed Pei Zuochen and chatted away Yes, from the time he was born, until now when he resigned from office and respected his wife's filial piety... The chattering started chatting, and only Luo Chuchen wanted to die.

To be honest, even if she was going to marry Pei Zuochen as his wife before she returned to her soul, she never had such an 'in-depth understanding' of this person's 'life and decline' history.

However, when talking about his wife, Mrs. Xu even mentioned it in a daze, saying that after Pei Zuochen finished his wife's filial piety for a year, he didn't know who he would marry again?If something goes wrong, Cheng'en Gong's Mansion and Anlinghou's Mansion may not be as 'friendly' as they are now, which made Mrs. Luo worry for a while.

Fortunately, Luo Chuwei had good eyesight, so he just let the conversation go, and everyone didn't take it seriously, but Luo Chuchen didn't like to interrupt this topic, so he focused on observation.Only then did I realize that Luo Chufen, who was squeezed by her to Pei's side when she mentioned Pei Zuochen's remarriage, her eyes lit up suddenly, her fingers were wrapped around the webbing around her waist, and she was still sitting awkwardly. , even the cheeks are red...

There is something wrong! ! !

Luo Chuchen squinted her eyes and looked at her, and found that as long as Pei Zuochen was mentioned, Luo Chufen's reaction was a little unnatural, especially when it came to remarrying, it was even worse!

This is cousin cousin, want to make a couple?Luo Chuchen lowered his eyes, remembering this matter in his heart.Of course, it's not very useful now, and it doesn't matter if you say it, but maybe when it will come in handy!

By noon, the few people in the room were chatting about the same. After having dinner in Mrs. Luo's courtyard, it was about time for the gentlemen in each house to get off work and go back home, so everyone went back to their respective houses, looking for Damn you.

The wives bid farewell to the old lady and left with their servants. Luo Chuchen and the sisters also made preparations and went back to their respective courtyards.

However, the yards of the sisters and sons are next to each other, and it is inevitable that they will go the same way...

Xi Fanghua, Shui Xie Pavilion, and Tao Ranxuan live in Luo Chuwei, Luo Chuchen and Luo Chujing respectively.The three elder sisters came out of Chunhui Courtyard with their maids and wives. They were not chatting and laughing in front of Mrs. Luo, but now they all walked slowly in the corridor in silence.

It didn't take long, when they arrived at the place, Luo Chuchen just nodded, said a few polite words to Luo Chuwei and Luo Chujing, and then went back to the hospital, but the result...

Slowly raised her head, and with a glance, she saw Luo Chufen standing in front of the door of Shuixie Pavilion, and was about to open the door to go in! !

This……

Sister, this yard belongs to me, you went wrong! !
