Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 151
"My father said that the previous generations of the Yao family were no less prominent than the Wu family in Jiangnan. One year, the Jiangnan scientific examination was suspected of cheating. All the scholars in the Yao family, including those in official positions, risked disrespect and wrote to the court, demanding strict investigation and choosing a date. re-examine.

The court at that time was not as clear as it is now. Many outstanding children of the Yao family died because of this incident. Later, in order to help the Yao family, various families in the south of the Yangtze River responded with great momentum. For the fraud case, another auspicious day was chosen for the re-examination. "

Cheng Fu's eyes widened, "Is it Yao Liyu's Yao family?" Yao Liyu is still working as an unnamed maid in the third prince's residence, and her criminal record is still pending in the Jinling government office.

Ye Xuexin nodded, "Yao Liyu's family is not the inheritance of the old Yao family, but their family is living the best life in the family now." There are always old people who are unwilling to admit that their family represents the Yao family.

"After the fraud case, the big clans realized that this method could compete with the imperial court, so the intermarriage became more frequent and the relationship became closer. It was too late, and it was cleaned up more than ten years ago. These are what my father said of."

After much deliberation, Cheng Fu had only one word to explain the unsightly food appearance of the Jiangnan aristocratic family.

Xiao Guozi walked over with a servant girl from the Ye family, and Ye Xuexin got up to leave without waiting for the other party to speak.I came to look for her at this time, and I guess there are important guests at home.As soon as they left, Wu Ying came over, followed by the submissive Wu Zhenyue.

"Your family is short of ice money?" Cheng Fu joked.

As soon as the cousins ​​sat down, the kitchen mother came over and said that she had made some snacks to relieve the heat and asked them to pad their stomachs first. The dinner had just started, and it wasn't going to be ready so soon.

Wu Ying glanced at Xu Ye who was sitting upright, and said to Cheng Fu: "The people in the yamen told me just now that the person who hurt me last time has been brought to justice, and he refused to admit that someone was behind it, and because I didn't die, he was finally sentenced to exile. .”

"Since you are willing to take the initiative to bring the case to justice, it means that everything has been dealt with, and you can't find any evidence pointing to anyone in the Wu family." Cheng Fu clearly remembered that Xu Ye was following the case at the beginning, and now the case is closed without his hands, which means that Some people think he will be bad.

Wu Ying and Cheng Fu were close in thinking, thinking that the inside story might be much more complicated than she imagined.However, he was also a little curious about who the Wu family had found to wipe their ass this time.

"There is one more thing, the princess has offered me a marriage offer."

I have been so busy recently that Cheng Fu almost forgot that there is still a princess in Jinling City, "Does she know that Mr. Zhao is in Jinling?"

Wu Ying shook her head, "I probably don't know." The Cheng family won't reveal it, and Xu Ye won't reveal it, and the other person who knows is Sang Ziqi.This magistrate valued Qing Yu the most. Leaking the prince's whereabouts would lead to death and implicate the whole family. He would not do such a loss-making business.

Cheng Fu didn't think so, at least some of the courtiers already knew about it, and the prince of Jian County was also in Jinling, and with Prince Rui's series of murders, it was probably no secret that the crown prince was in Jinling. There are still some eyes and ears in the capital, so it is impossible not to receive the news.She didn't take the initiative to find the prince, which only shows that she is not familiar with the prince.

"It's okay, it's probably impossible." Even if Emperor Chengqi agreed, the prince might not be willing to see it.

Wu Ying poked a slice of frozen duck with a bamboo stick, "I think so too."

After a sumptuous dinner at Cheng's house, Wu Ying took Wu Zhenyue back home.On the way, Wu Zhenyue lowered her head, as if being bullied by someone, which made Wu Ying very impatient.Today, when she learned that he was going to Cheng's house, she insisted on following, saying that the inner courtyard of Cheng's house was rumored to be luxurious, and she wanted to see what it was like.Promising again and again to keep quiet and not cause trouble, Wu Ying was anxious to talk to Cheng Fu, so she took her with her.

"It's no wonder she can only be a concubine if she shows up in public all the time and lives with other men." Wu Zhenyue felt that relying on Wu Ying, she could at least marry a wealthy family and become a grandma.

Wu Ying thinks she is very ridiculous. I don't know who wanted to work in Lianghexuan and an artist in a small theater, but now they have the nerve to look down on Cheng Fu who has earned a fortune with his own hands.

"Your father is also divorced now, why don't you go back? How can you say that the eldest princess will also be your aunt in the future, and with her background, it shouldn't be a problem to arrange a prestigious marriage for you."

Wu Zhenyue realized later that she had offended the other party with what she just said, and immediately panicked and felt wronged, "No, no, if I don't go back, I'll follow you."

As her own father, Wu Lingxiu didn't make a sound when he watched her being beaten into such a miserable state. It can be seen how ruthless this person is. It doesn't matter if the six rooms are separated. Send to marriage.

Wu Ying ignored her and closed her eyes to rest.

Capital
Emperor Chengqi hadn't thought of Princess Roujia for many years, only knew that she had been hiding in the south of the Yangtze River after her husband's death and refused to return to Beijing.Now that he is willing to remarry, from the standpoint of an elder brother, he is happy for her, but from the standpoint of the king of a country, he has more to think about.

"What do you think?"

Xu Ze put down the memorial, "The minister's words are not pleasant, so the emperor should not ask. However, the minister feels that His Royal Highness is in Jinling, why don't you ask his opinion, Your Majesty?" How could Princess Roujia be the younger sister of Emperor Chengqi? , and the meaning of marriage is different for everyone, isn't it an offense for a courtier to provide advice.

Before the two could finish speaking, Chang Shun hurried in, "Your Majesty, the prince has a letter."

Emperor Chengqi and Xu Ze looked at each other. Emperor Chengqi took the letter and slowly opened it. There were no father and son in the letter, only monarchs and ministers, which made him a little uncomfortable.Zhao Yantao truthfully clarified the relationship between Princess Roujia and Wu Lingxiu, and attached the current situation of the Wu family, including Wu Ziqi's current residence at the Imperial College, Wu Zhenzhen's future husband's family, etc. Zhao Yantao suggested in the letter that the emperor can allow this marriage, after all It is also inappropriate to beat mandarin ducks with sticks, but it is not recommended to issue a marriage decree. This will have far-reaching consequences, and even affect the imperial court's check and balance on Jiangnan.

In addition to talking about Princess Roujia's marriage, Zhao Yantao gave a brief introduction to the official road from Jinling to Hangzhou, saying that he had already figured out how to shorten the distance, and that people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households should go down to discuss it to be safe.The letter also explained in detail the reasons for this decision, and what changes would be brought about by shortening the distance between the two places to the business and military.

Putting down the letter, Emperor Chengqi let out a long sigh, and then asked Changshun to immediately announce all the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household into the palace.

"Are you willing to say it now?" Emperor Chengqi told Xu Ze about Zhao Yantao's suggestion of marrying Princess Roujia and Wu Lingxiu.

"I second the proposal, but I don't want the emperor to be misunderstood by the princess. I suggest that the clan members discuss together before making a decision." In this way, even if the eldest princess wants to act like a spoiled child, it can't change anything.

Emperor Chengqi sneered, "It seems that you knew about it early in the morning."

"Your Majesty, do you think Xu Liu looks like a broken-mouthed person?" Xu Ze pretended to be dead.

Jinling
Princess Roujia did not wait for the marriage decree, only a congratulatory letter from the clan and more than a dozen carriages to add makeup, but this matter could not be suppressed in Jinling, and it was soon spread to everyone, Princess Roujia She is going to marry Wu Lingxiu, the sixth master of the Wu family.At the beginning, everyone was still talking about it, but when there were too many people discussing it, people who knew the way realized something was wrong.

There is no marriage decree.

"Did you spread the word?" Wu Ying went to Hangzhou, and Cheng Fu stayed in Jinling alone.

Jing Yuanze crossed his legs and said innocently: "The princess is going to marry in Jinling, what's wrong with making the people in the city happy? The princess won't be so narrow-minded."

"Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss if you don't leave a name for doing good deeds?" Cheng Fu joked.

"Efforts with a little effort are nothing to worry about." Jing Yuanze snorted.

Cheng Fu thought of something, and suddenly said: "Is the princess's house ready? You don't want to marry from the Jing family, do you?"

Hearing this, Jing Yuanze's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice, "If this is the case, I won't be able to tolerate her."

There is no reason for a princess to marry in a common people's house. In the future, how will other aristocratic families view the Jing family, and how the capital will view the Jing family.Among the aristocratic families in Jinling, the Jing family has the most children who have become officials. If the princess does this, it will imply that the Jing family is her winged servants.It's no wonder that the Jing family can swallow this breath.

The reason for this concern is that there was a precedent, and that family did not end well.

The more Jing Yuanze thought about it, the more he felt that Princess Roujia's recent behavior was very suspicious. The dignified princess was trying to please the Jing family so courteously that no one else could justify it.So can it be understood that the other party has been making this idea for a long time, and if there is no imperial decree, they will find a well-known and respectable family in Jinling to marry.She saved her face, and at the same time let the Jing family bind herself together, boil the frogs in warm water, and become her backing.

As soon as Xu Ye came up, he saw Jing Yuanze leaving with a heavy heart, his expression was not to mention ugly.

"I have nothing to do today, do you want to play?"

A smile slowly spread on the little girl's face, "Okay."

On the way to the pier, Cheng Fu told Xu Ye how Jing Yuanze cheated Princess Roujia, and was also a little curious about what Princess Roujia would do in the future.If she really wanted to drag the Jing family into trouble, how would the Jing family respond?
"That's the end of your grievances with the Wu family." Next is the Wu family's infighting period. The princess will not be willing to have a clan wife like Guo Shi above her, and Guo Shi is not willing to give up this position. go out.When the two houses fight, they don't care about provoking Liang Hexuan.

"That's nice." The little girl said lightly.

"Why didn't you ask Wu Ying about the case?" He was the one who took over at that time.

"If you have anything to ask, you don't have to think about it. Most likely, Sang Zhiqi took it away." Why did he do this, and who did he have contact with? There are too many considerations involved and all parties involved.

Xu Ye said: "The prince is in Jinling, he dare not show favoritism."

The killer was brought to justice by himself, so it is equivalent to saying that someone behind the scenes acted as a military adviser for the Wu family to clean up his hands, even if torture was used, it would not help.Sang Zenqi was in charge of the trial, and the procedures were clear and clean, without any sloppyness, this is his genius.

"Who gave the Wu family an idea?"
