The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 653 Xiangyun carelessly lost her husband, Chen Zhao returned to Beijing to face the saint

Xiangyun doesn't like the eldest brother of her husband's family. As pedantic as he is, if it weren't for his father-in-law who still has some skills, he might be a sixth-rank official for the rest of his life. what?

Yes, the sister-in-law is afraid that she will be compared to her in the future, and she will lose her reputation in this family, so she said this on purpose now, she is sure that the old lady and the wife will feel distressed, and she will not let her husband go to the scientific examination.

Sure enough, as Xiangyun expected, upon hearing what the sister-in-law of the Cheng family said, the old lady of the Cheng family and the wife of the Cheng family hesitated: Since the exams are the same in the next few years, most officials in the world are like this, why let your own The child is so hard?

Isn’t it okay to take care of your body?
Xiangyun smiled coldly, and asked Cuilu to take out a few plates of snacks brought by Jia Mu, and invited the old lady of the Cheng family and the wife of the Cheng family to have tea next door. Said: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, the three-year imperial examination has always been like this. In the past few years, I have never heard of any accidents caused by the imperial examination. Besides, it is only two days after the hard work these few days." It's over. I'll prepare more nourishing soup to take care of the third master. After all, ten years of hard work are just for this one day. Could it be that our third master will delay for three years because of my sister-in-law's words?"

"You!" The sister-in-law of the Cheng family was annoyed by Xiangyun's words, and said, "That's the hard work you have never seen in the imperial examination! Ten years of hard work, how many people have suffered from these three days of hard work, is my father, It is also because of the cold legs that I suffer every winter. In the past, my father and father-in-law had no choice but to earn fame for the family, so they had to take the imperial examination. Now that our family has the money, why should our children suffer like this? It’s not that I won’t take the exam, but in a few years, when my body has recovered and my knowledge has improved, I might be able to get a champion in the exam!”

Xiangyun smiled lightly, and didn't take the sister-in-law's words to heart at all, but said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so you don't have to tell me about your sister-in-law's plan. Now our third master has already passed two exams, and we won't go to the third one. , not only can’t face it, but also can’t explain the hard work of the third master these years, after all, you can’t fall short for the sake of the mountain. So according to my opinion, our second master’s third match, we can’t say, let’s try harder.”

The eldest sister-in-law of the Cheng family tried hard to persuade: "Brothers and sisters, even if we didn't deal with it in the past, it is a trivial matter of a woman's family and not worth mentioning. The current matter is related to the life of the third brother - you have also heard that today What the doctor said, the second brother is very weak now and urgently needs rest and recuperation. It is best not to exert himself mentally. If you insist on the third brother to take another exam and the weather is so cold, something really happened to the third brother. What can you do? manage?"

Xiangyun said unwaveringly: "Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about the affairs in our room. Besides, how can the doctor's words be accurate? In order to pay more for the consultation, these little ones who are eager to see money can treat them as big as sesame seeds and mung beans." The disease has become a serious illness that broke the sky, how can it be true! It’s not the imperial doctor in the palace! Yesterday my mother-in-law told me that the jade around me looks good, and I want to ask for it to serve my elder brother. My sister-in-law is here today, so I asked Biyu to come over and see her?"

The sister-in-law of the Cheng family stood up angrily and said, "No need!" Then she walked out angrily, stopped at the door and said, "If you don't listen to other people's well-intentioned advice, you will suffer in the future!" After saying that, he threw down the curtain and went out.

Looking at his sister-in-law's back, Xiangyun smiled mockingly, his heart filled with disdain: She is just a jealous woman.You actually said harsh words before leaving?It's funny just thinking about it. Doesn't she know that in this world, only prodigal dogs will say harsh words?

As if nothing had happened, Xiangyun ordered Cuilu to continue to take care of Cheng Pinglan, and went to reply to Mother Jia by herself, saying that she must come to the flower viewing party tomorrow.

It turns out that although the Grand View Garden can no longer house people, it is a famous and beautiful garden in the capital. During the spring period, the Grand View Garden is full of beautiful flowers. Jia Mu is also very lively. During this period of time, the family is peaceful, so she couldn't hold back and found a garden. The garden was opened from the beginning, and a banquet was held, all the female relatives were invited.

Xiangyun naturally received the post. She knew that Daiyu, Baochai and Tanchun would not be there, but Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Baoqin, Xing Yanyan and others would definitely be there.

By the way, there is also that Xia Jingui!

No matter what, she, Shi Xiangyun, wants to overwhelm everyone!
Xiangyun went to Jia's mansion and wrote a few poems.

Among the sisters, when it comes to poetry, Xiangyun is the leader.

So Xiangyun was happy to return home after dinner.After returning home, I hurriedly freshened up and went to bed first.On the [-]th, I asked Cuilu, and when I heard that Cheng Pinglan was willing to eat, I no longer cared about it. I just ordered someone to send in some easy-to-eat food, and asked someone to boil ginseng soup, and let Cheng Pinglan drink it thickly. After a few bowls, he was sent to the Ministry of Etiquette again.

On the [-]th, Cheng Pinglan came out, and before he got into his car, he fell to the ground, his breath was weak, and the young man who came to pick him up hurriedly sent him back, the whole Cheng family panicked, please ask the doctor The medicine was in a hurry, and the sister-in-law of the Cheng family looked at Xiangyun very disdainfully: "What did I say earlier? You don't believe me, but you insist on saying that I am uneasy and kind, and now the second brother is sick like this, are you satisfied? There is still an exam. No matter what he tries, it is not as important as his own man's life."

Xiangyun blushed angrily: Is this what a lady should say?It's too vulgar.Therefore, she didn't bother to pay attention to the sister-in-law of the Cheng family, and just asked Cuilu to take her post to Rongguo Mansion, and asked Jia Mu for help, and invited a familiar imperial physician to come over.After Mother Jia received the news, because the original doctor Zhang died of an innocent illness, she invited another doctor Wang who she often visited to go to Cheng's house.Doctor Wang made a diagnosis and said: "Young master, this is caused by overwork and fatigue. It takes a while to recover and recuperate." Then he prescribed a prescription. Those who warmed up and nourished Qi respectfully sealed the consultation fee to Doctor Wang.When everyone in the Cheng family saw that she was so respectable, it was fine for a while.

Cheng Pinglan's illness has been ups and downs for more than a month, and when it finally started to improve, the apricot list was posted, and the young man who went to see the list didn't know how to be euphemistic, so when he came back, he said straight to Cheng Pinglan: "Second Master, I have looked carefully and your name is not on the list."

Cheng Pinglan was anxious: "How come my name is not there? Did you miss it?"

The little servant hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "Second master, how dare this servant overlook such an important event? This servant has been correct five times, and even dragged other family members who looked at the list together to help find it. It is true that your name is not there. .”

Doesn't that mean that everyone in the capital knows that they have failed?Cheng Pinglan rolled his eyes, his blood surged, and he pouted immediately.Xiangyun was so frightened that he went to help him up, and then dragged the boy who reported the letter out with a stick and killed him, crying.

Seeing that Cheng Pinglan couldn't be woken up by pinching people and noses, Xiangyun was even more frightened, and hurriedly sent people to report to the other masters of the Cheng family, and also sent for doctors and imperial physicians.It's a pity that Doctor Wang went to the palace to be on duty, and the old doctor who was worshiped by the family was taken away by Xiang Yunqi a few days ago. The new doctor didn't know the cause and effect, so he didn't dare to prescribe medicine at will, so Cheng Pinglan left after midnight.Seeing this, Xiang Yun felt cold all over, filled with despair, and fainted.

After Cheng Pinglan left, the Cheng family was very sad, and resented that Xiangyun failed to leave him a son and a half daughter, so he cut off the incense, and no one will worship him in the future.The old lady of the Cheng family and Mrs. Cheng didn't want to see Xiangyun anymore.

At this time, the sister-in-law of the Cheng family said that the reason why Cheng Pinglan died was because Xiangyun refused to listen to her and insisted on forcing Cheng Pinglan to take the imperial examination, which made him exhausted and died of exhaustion. Li: Well, it turned out that this poisonous woman forced Brother Lan to die!Old and new grudges broke out at the same time, regardless of the obstruction of the master of the Cheng family, he wanted Xiangyun to die for her husband.Xiangyun is young, when he is like a flower and a jade, how can he be willing to die like this?Then wept.

The Shijia family is in office, and they can't manage the capital, let alone the Xiangyun matter, they are not willing to take care of it.Just to avoid affecting his daughter's marriage, he sent a housekeeper to tell Xiangyun: "As a wife, a woman should stay together forever. Now that she is a widow, she should live in a separate place, be pure and honorable, and should not do anything to dishonor the Shi family." Otherwise, it is better to die and sacrifice your husband." He also told the Cheng family: Since Xiangyun is the wife of the Cheng family, it is her duty to be a widow, but her dowry is a personal property given to her by the historian. The Cheng family It shall not be stolen, it shall be returned to her.

The old matriarch, wife, and sister-in-law of the Cheng family couldn't help but look at each other when they heard what Steward Shi said. They wanted to force Xiangyun to death. Apart from hating her for killing Cheng Pinglan, why didn't they have the idea of ​​encroaching on her property with jealousy?
At the end of this matter, it was Jia's mother who missed the old love. Under the escort of Jia Lian and Jia Rong, she went to the gate of Cheng's house in person, negotiated with the master of Cheng's family, and handed over all the things in Xiangyun courtyard to Cheng. He used Xiangyun's dowry to buy a house in the capital, and exchanged the Cheng family's small village in the suburbs, and placed Xiangyun there. The widow kept the festival and lived according to her remaining dowry.

……

At this time, it was already June of the seventh year of Xiaode, and the weather had already warmed up. Chen Zhao, who went south to fight the bandits, finally returned to Jinmenwei. It was said that he was going to Beijing to meet the saint and report his itinerary.

But many people have heard that when Chen Zhao went to Beijing, he brought seven or eight Nanyang women with him. Although their skin was not white, they were as smooth as silk and satin. Yan Dayue......

Only the senior executives of Zhengfei Bank and the three major trading companies know that Chen Zhao, with his power and sea heroes all over the world, jointly established a Nanyang trading company in Java Island. The income and expenditure are calculated according to the income of the business, and the armed forces on the shore are calculated according to the guards of the business. Everything is clear and convenient.

The kings of the sea have all heard of the name of the East India Company, and they are all willing to use Chen Zhao as a backing to attack Nanyang and seize wealth, so they all agreed.

In addition, the navy of the Great Zhou Jinyiwei was too strong, as if overnight, the waves on the Great Zhou Sea were not happy, and the sea kings turned their attention to the Frangians who occupied Luzon.

……

Before Xiangyun entered Xiaozhuangzi, the latest news she heard was that Chen Zhao had entered the capital. She thought about it, but only let out a long sigh.
