Marriage Grant

Author: Chu Qianmo

Lord Wang still objected, Chu Xinyuan said calmly: "Master Wang, thirty years ago, your eldest daughter fell into the water while outing. At that time, a capable maid and mother-in-law was beside her, and she was rescued quickly. But when you return home,

Later, you forced her to commit suicide on the grounds that someone must have seen her and that she had lost her reputation and ruined your family tradition. When your sixty-five-year-old mother learned of this, she begged you to spare your eldest daughter.

One life, severely rejected by you!"

When Mr. Wang heard about this, he was very proud. He rubbed his neck and said: "A woman who lost her virginity should not be alive in the world. I have a pure and upright family tradition, which cannot be tarnished!"

Chu Xinyuan continued: "Later, when your old mother saw that you were still living like the past, she knelt down in front of you and begged you, but you didn't agree!"

Mr. Wang's old face turned slightly red and he said: "Everything is done according to the rules. How can you change your original intention just because someone begs for mercy?"

"So you insisted on forcing your eldest daughter to death. Your old mother pointed at you and scolded you as a traitor. That night, she also followed your eldest daughter with three feet of white silk!" Chu Xinyuan said calmly: "What you call rules and what you call maintenance

Etiquette is just for your own reputation and face. You forced your eldest daughter to death and your old mother to death. Do you think you have a lot of face? "

Although Chu Xinyuan's tone was indifferent, the words he spoke were like sharp blades.

Mr. Wang's eyes widened. He had already strictly ordered his family not to tell anyone about this incident. The world only knew that his eldest daughter fell into the water. She was afraid that someone would see her and her reputation would be ruined. Therefore, she was hanged in shame. My mother loved her granddaughter.

, died in grief. Because of this incident, the female relatives of his family gained a reputation for chastity, which was praised by everyone, and he had always taken it as a matter of pride.

How did King Liang know this?

Seeing the strange looks in the court, as well as the shocked and contemptuous looks, Mr. Wang wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. He just muttered: "No, there is no such thing, no, no such thing..."

"If you want others to not know, you have to do it yourself!" Chu Xinyuan said: "Master Wang, you have been proud of this since then and upheld what you think is the so-called etiquette. The Eastern Xia governs the country with filial piety, and women keep chastity and protect their names.

, Men should observe virtue and cultivate themselves, but no matter who they are, they can't escape the word filial piety. And you, the person who forced your old mother to death, what kind of virtue can you say? An unfilial and unvirtuous person thinks that he is covering up well, so he can

If you continue to speak nonsense in the court, who gave you the courage? And who gave you the face?"

Mr. Wang was angry, anxious and speechless. He knew that if this matter was covered up and no one knew about it, that would be fine. If it was spread, everything he valued would disappear.

He felt his eyes turn black and could no longer say a word. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Chu Xinyuan didn't even look at him. He looked coldly at the surroundings, especially the courtiers who were still kneeling, and said calmly: "My lords, do you want me to tell you everything about you?"

These people are stunned for a while, who has nothing to do in the back house, and who can really not feel guilty? And if those things are not known to the public, if they are made public, then they will no longer have the shame to do it in front of others.

Someone stood up quietly.

When one person takes action, more people immediately follow.

Even if he feels that he has a very upright character, Mr. Wang is such a person. If he speaks first, and he agrees with him, then in the eyes of others, they are also such a person. This is the real stain on him.

Woolen cloth!

Bah, this Mr. Wang, who forced his daughter to death and his old mother to death for the sake of his so-called reputation, has the nerve to flaunt himself as a person who is upright and upright, giving honest advice and outspoken advice. This is unlucky!

However, one of the censors still hesitated and said: "Your Highness, Prince Liang, I am not trying to argue with you. Since His Highness Prince Liang feels that Mu's daughter was also wronged, and although her reputation has been damaged, it is not her fault, then why do you

Are you going to divorce her?"

Chu Xinyuan: "..."

He's the one who got divorced.

But at this time, he couldn't say that, especially since Pei Shili had already stared at him with a pair of burning eyes.

He said slowly: "The reason why I divorced is not because I am unhappy, but because I feel that Miss Mu has an innocent body, but she has to marry me because of a misunderstanding. She should have had more choices, but in fact

We should not give up because of this matter. I respect her and respect her, and I am willing to let her go free. I also hope that she can face her heart after she is free. If she is willing to return to Prince Liang's Mansion, I will definitely be in red makeup.

Marry her in a grand manner instead of hastily wronging her like before!"

When Chu Jingxian heard this, he glared at him with disdain.

It sounds so nice, so why was he left out in the cold after marrying her back? In an orphanage, he didn't even give her food.

What's the use of talking like a flower at this time?

He didn't know much about the original divorce letter, but he also knew that it was Qingyu who took the initiative. What should he say to redeem himself at this time?

But as soon as he said these beautiful words, Pei Shili nodded. It was obvious that he meant what he said. How insidious!

Chu Xinyuan was telling the truth at this time, but he was also helpless. When a woman breaks away from a man with a divorce letter, does that man still have a chance?

He doesn't want to give up, but he has done so many things before. Even if he doesn't give up, will Qingyu forgive him?

The censor was silent and said: "Since His Highness said this, I understand!"

Looking at the two sons who stood up for Mu Qingyu, the emperor frowned, and his mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, he really wanted to make her daughter a princess, let her enjoy a first-class salary, and be as noble as a princess. Because in his heart, everything that is clean, pure and beautiful is the softest place in his heart, and there is no such thing in his harem.

Any woman can give him a position that is more important than that of a queen in his heart, so why shouldn't her daughter be treated like a princess?

However, he became dissatisfied with the protection of his two hopeless sons.

He brought the topic over: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it further!"

Pei Shizhen said: "I accept the order to express my gratitude on behalf of my niece!"

The emperor thought of the entire Yunjian City, and his worries immediately disappeared. He smiled and said: "Pei Hou, you haven't returned to your hometown for more than ten years. You must miss your relatives very much. I allow you to rest for three days before going to court. In addition,

I will stay in the capital for a few more days before going to Yunjian City to take up my post!"

Pei Shili said: "Your Majesty, this time I brought five million taels of silver, fifty thousand taels of gold, and millions of pieces of satin, cloth, and silk. These can be regarded as the taxes paid by Yunjian City for ten years! These are all on the way.

, divided into three batches to enter the capital, we will be able to reach the capital within half a month, please ask the emperor to send someone to take over when the time comes!"

Just now, I felt that the emperor had made Mu's daughter a princess and enjoyed an excessive salary. At this time, she obediently shut her mouth.

Five million taels of silver, fifty thousand taels of gold, one million bolts of silk and satin, what is this concept?

The treasury of Dongxia receives 50 million taels a year, which is one of the Four Kingdoms, and the area of ​​Yunjian City is only as big as a county of Dongxia.

But for a county in Eastern Xia, the tax revenue for ten years is at most three million taels of silver.

But Pei Shili brought not only 5 million taels of silver, but also 50,000 taels of gold and so much silk and satin. However, he did not say it was tribute, but said it was ten years of tax. This means that Yunjian City is not Dongjian City.

It is a dependency of Xia, but a part of Eastern Xia.

Mingshuo took a deep look at Pei Shiwei. Why did Pei Shiwei say this only after the emperor awarded Mu Qingyu the title of princess and a first-class salary? It seems that if the emperor's reward made Pei Shiwei dissatisfied, these points

He may not necessarily donate all the property that came in three batches to the emperor.

How can a person who can become the lord of a city have no backup plan even if he takes the initiative to show weakness?

Mu Mingyuan was speechless now. With so much gold and silver, had Pei Shili emptied Yunjian City?

The emperor was also very happy that Yunjian City could be included in Dongxia. Even if he only started to pay taxes next year, he would be satisfied. However, Pei Shili made up for the previous ten years, which was full of sincerity.

Pei Qing is indeed a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. You must know that with so much gold and silver, he can raise an elite army to protect the city. With the prestige of Hidden Dragon City, who dares to think about Yunjian City? From this point on

It can be seen that the loyalty of the Pei family is engraved in their bones.

When he was happy, he simply said: "Pei Aiqing just said that you have been alone for many years, but you haven't married yet? How about I grant you a marriage?"

As he said this, he looked at the courtiers in the palace, with a very clear intention, to see whose family still had an unmarried daughter.

As early as when Pei Shili was granted the title of first-class marquis and could offer so much gold and silver as tax, the ministers' minds became active. This was the new rich man in the court. If he climbed into this relationship, he might not be able to win.

Let the family get a lot of benefits.

Someone immediately said: "Your Majesty, my second daughter is now sixteen years old. She is in her prime. Lord Pei is in her prime and is a perfect match for her!"

"Your Majesty, my eldest daughter is seventeen this year. She is not yet married. She has a beautiful face. If Lord Pei is interested, I would be honored!"

"Your Majesty, although my sister is already twenty, her temperament is gentle, gentle and quiet, and she will live in a comfortable home!"

"emperor……"

…

At that moment, several people jumped out and wanted to marry their daughters, nephews or nieces. It was very lively.

Even Duke Cheng saw the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter Seventeen is marrying Marquis Pei, she is a perfect match!"

As soon as he said this, those who had been fighting for it suddenly started talking. When it comes to status, how can their status be compared with that of Duke Cheng? Even if he is a third-class Duke, he is still a Duke!

The Luo family stood at the back. Now, they also have mixed feelings in their hearts. At first, Shuang'er refused to marry another person and became a nun for the sake of the Luo family. Now it has been more than ten years and the relationship has long been broken. However, the children of the Pei family have

is back.

After all, it’s no chance!

Luo's father has only been promoted one level in recent years. Now he is a fourth-grade Taipu Shaoqing. He is in charge of chariots, wheels, and ceremonial guards. He is really free. However, when Mu Mingyuan was still the official minister, he was able to rise to this level.

, it is already extremely rare.

Not to mention that those officials who rushed out to show their kindness were of higher rank than him, but even if they were not as good as him, he had nothing to say.

The emperor smiled and said: "Pei Aiqing, what do you think?"

Pei Shili said: "I am not familiar with everything in the capital, and the marriage is not urgent. If I want to marry, I will definitely ask the emperor to grant me a marriage!"

Those who rushed to promote their daughters, nieces and nephews were not disappointed. After all, Pei Shili didn't even know who they were. How could he decide on his marriage just because of a few words from their mouths? You know, that was a serious first-class lady.
