my wife is mulan

Now Hua Mulan quit, "I don't understand. Why can't my younger brother's children do it? Are you looking down on my Hua family? Then why did you beg for nothing to marry me?"

Zhao Junsheng stroked his forehead with his hand, "It's two different things!"

Hua Mulan seemed to have thought of something, she thought for a while and said to Zhao Ting: "Fourth brother, you go back to the mansion first, I will discuss this matter with your father!"

Zhao Ting looked at the two of them, got up with a look of resentment and doubts, and said, "Oh, I'm leaving!"

After Zhao Ting left, Hua Mulan asked Zhao Junsheng: "Are you worried that after the fourth brother and my brother get married, my younger brother will support the fourth brother and the eldest brother in competing for the succession to the throne? Yes, although they are all my brother's nephews, but the nephew will add The identity of a son-in-law is much closer than that of a mere nephew, my younger brother will definitely support the fourth child!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I will dismiss your brother and let him stay at home. Let me see how he supports the fourth child and what he uses to support the fourth child!"

"You... how could you do this?"

"I'm going to do it, what's the matter?"

Hua Mulan fell silent.

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, this is also one of the reasons why I disagree. It's not important to me. I don't agree with the fourth brother marrying Wanru because he thinks our two families are relatives. Wanru is a cousin within three generations, and cousins ​​cannot get married!"

Hua Mulan's eyes widened, "cousins ​​can't get married anymore? Who said that? Cousins ​​get married everywhere in the world. You can ask those rich and powerful families and even ministers and ministers who have cousins ​​married. There are also many royal families in all dynasties. How can this kind of thing not work when it comes to you?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said, "You still don't know too much. Marriage of cousins ​​within three generations will cause great harm to the offspring. The probability of congenital diseases in the offspring is much higher than that of children born to non-blood relationship couples. !"

Hua Mulan didn't believe it: "I don't believe it, how can you say it so seriously, so many cousins ​​are married, and I haven't heard of a few cases of unhealthy children!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Of course there are reasons for that: first of all, there are more brothers and sisters in every household, and there are many people in a family. There is not much blood relationship between them, not within three generations, so the remaining children after their marriage are less likely to have deformities or mental disabilities, and even if they do, they will not survive in the mother's womb, or die early after birth Already!"

"Secondly, this kind of situation mostly happens among rich families, aristocratic families, wealthy families, dignitaries and royal families. Ordinary people rarely have cousins ​​who get married, because they have no interests and need to be maintained by in-law relationship!"

"Finally, because this kind of thing often happens among the rich, aristocratic, wealthy, powerful and royal families, they are all face-saving people. If there is a deformed child born in the family, in order to keep the family scandal from publicity, most of them declare to the outside world that the child died in the mother's womb due to dystocia. or die early, but secretly send these deformed children to families far away, give them some money, whether they can live or not depends on the destiny, you go and see, which family will make a big fuss about scandals?"

Hua Mulan's expression also changed after hearing this, "According to what you said, it is indeed best not to allow cousins ​​to marry each other. If they give birth to a stupid or deformed child, it will not only harm themselves, but also harm the child's life." ".

"I don't need to mention this matter. You have to talk to the fourth child well, and then choose another marriage for him that he is satisfied with. Children of his current age are in the rebellious period. They will rebel against everything their parents say. Let's do it".

"Okay!" Hua Mulan agreed, and said, "Now that the fourth child has reached the crown, we can't let him sit around all day long. See if we can give him an official position and let him do an errand, so we can't let him be wasted! "

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "I will consider this matter!"

A team of guards was quickly transferred to Prince Jing's Mansion by Zhao Junsheng's order, and Hua Mulan also selected a group of maids and eunuchs from the palace in the shortest time to go to Prince Jing's Mansion.

The corpses and traces of fighting in Prince Jing's mansion have been cleaned up, but there is still a strong smell of blood. The new eunuchs and maids immediately started cleaning again, using wooden barrels and tubs to bring water to rinse several times. Finally able to live.

At this time, a carriage came from outside the palace, and a young son-in-law came down from the carriage. He was handsome and upright, with a poetic temperament. He came to the gate of the palace, bowed his hands to the guards standing guard, and handed his name badge: " Please inform me that Chu Yuan is begging to see His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"

A guard standing guard took the badge and said: "Wait!" After speaking, he turned and walked into the palace to report.

Not long after, the guard returned and returned the famous thorn to Chu Yuan: "Your Highness is unwell and has not seen any guests. Please go back, my lord!"

Chu Yuan's nose was ashamed, but nothing showed on his face, but his heart was active. Last night, something big happened in Prince Jing's mansion. He came to ask to see him to express his concern. How could Zhao Ting not see him?Could it be that he was seriously injured?Or is there another reason?

Chu Yuan decided to go back first before making other plans, so he took back his famous thorn, turned around, went down the steps, and got into the carriage. The driver drove the carriage away quickly, and the two men in short clothes looked at each other and followed leisurely , hanging far behind the carriage, changing positions from time to time.

When Chu Yuan returned home, Princess Nanjun came up to help him untie his cloak, but Chu Yuan refused: "No need, didn't you want to go to worship Buddha two days ago? The weather is not bad today, let's go today, the Buddhist temple should be very lively ".

Princess Nanjun smiled sweetly and agreed, "Okay!"

Soon, the couple took a carriage to Nanshan Temple outside the city, and there were quite a lot of pedestrians on the road.

In Qianguo, under the influence of former Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao’s decree to exterminate Buddhism, the number of temples and monks was once greatly reduced, and Buddhist affairs in the northern region were greatly impacted.

After the founding of the state, the relevant yamen were specially established to manage the affairs of the three religions. Both Buddhism and Taoism were more formalized. Monks and Taoists must have a certificate issued by the government before they can travel outside. The impact has also been reduced to a minimum, and it is developing in a benign direction.

In the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and even the emperors advocated Buddhism and built temples and pagodas on a large scale. Buddhism developed very rapidly, and the momentum was out of control. In the Kang area, later in the Tang Dynasty, the poet Du Mu wrote such a poem: "[-] temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many towers and misty rain".

Chu Yuan and his wife arrived at Nanshan Temple, and after entering the temple, the incense was really flourishing, and many people came to offer incense and worship Buddha, but this scene was far worse than that in Jiankang.

There were many people in the temple and the voice was loud. Princess Nanjun didn't worry about being overheard by the attendants behind her, and she asked as she walked, "Master, why did you go to Prince Jing's mansion and come back so soon!"

Chu Yuan said: "Zhao Ting didn't see me at all. It stands to reason that I went to pay a visit at this time to show concern. He should be very happy, but what I met was just the opposite. I couldn't even make progress in the door. I doubt What happened!"

Princess Nanjun thought for a while, and said: "I don't think this matter should be rushed, we still have to think about it in the long run!" 7

Chapter 1091

As soon as Princess Nanjun finished speaking, her expression changed.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"Don't look back, there are people staring at us, and there are more than one of them. They are good at hiding their tracks. It may be that there are more people here, so they are worried that we will get rid of them, so they are exposed in a hurry!"

At home, there are servants sent by Zhao Junsheng to take care of their food and daily life. Chu Yuan and his wife are worried that some of these servants are Zhao Junsheng's spy who sent them to monitor them, so they don't trust anyone, and they have to find a way to avoid them no matter what confidential things they do. those servants.

Chu Yuan didn't expect that besides those servants, there would be other people watching their every move. This kind of monitoring is not the kind of treatment that ordinary people can have.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuan was startled and angry, but there was nothing he could do for the time being. At this moment, he could only put his tail between his legs and act as a human being on other people's territory. This kind of feeling is not good!

"They're going too far!" Chu Yuan couldn't help saying angrily. Although he was old, he was young after all, so he couldn't help but lose control of his emotions.

Princess Nanjun said: "Be patient, there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, in our identities, if they don't send people to monitor, it will be abnormal!"

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said to Princess Nanjun: "I will go again in two days. If Zhao Ting still doesn't see me, it means that something must have happened. Did my behavior arouse Zhao Ting's vigilance? Or It has aroused the vigilance of relevant parties in the Northern Dynasty, what did someone say to Zhao Ting?"

Princess Nanjun thought for a while and said, "I can't rule out this possibility. Just like what you said, Zhao Ting valued you a few days ago and tried his best to win you over, but today he avoids you. This is not normal. ! It seems that we still have to figure this out before we can decide what to do next!"

As the Shangyuan Festival approaches, the people in Chang'an City are busy arranging lanterns these days, and they don't go to bed until late every day.

In the middle of the night, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, and most of the residents and the lanterns in front of the shops were almost arranged.

Outside the house where Chu Yuan and Princess Nanjun lived, there were two people squatting under the shadow of a big tree. One of them yawned from time to time, and the other asked, "What's the matter with you tonight? You kept yawning. Last night Didn't sleep well?"

"Don't mention it, Mei Laosan and his gang dragged me to push Pai Gow until the sun was up!"

While the man was speaking, he seemed to feel a dark shadow on the wall of the house, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and looked again, but found nothing again.

Upon seeing this, the companion asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too sleepy, I'm dazzled!" The man said and shook his head.

"During the field work, you stayed up all night pushing Pai Gow with others, and you really are, okay, you can sleep against the tree for a while, and I'll just keep an eye on it!"

Outside the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, two large lanterns illuminated the entrance, and four soldiers stood motionless under the porch pillars.

After midnight, the soldiers on guard walked into the palace, and the gate was closed.

A black shadow floated into the enclosure without a sound, and quickly disappeared among the flowers in the garden.

Under the eaves in front of the door of the front hall, Wangfu Zhan Shi Ma Dun stood facing outward with his hands behind his back, and two soldiers stood behind him. The soldiers from the four Wu Wu gathered here one by one, and another four Wu Wu waited aside.
