[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

The old lady was naturally unwilling, but Lang Geer insisted, Fu Li also persuaded, and finally the old lady could only choose to compromise.

Others saw that the marriage between Dingweihou Mansion and the Li family had withdrawn, and they did express their intention to choose a fiancée for the heir of Dingweihou Mansion, but after holding a banquet, Dingweihou Mansion unexpectedly did not There was movement.At the beginning, those people still speculated whether the Dingweihou Mansion had found a suitable candidate, but until nearly two months passed, they never heard of any family that the Dingweihou Mansion exchanged Geng Tie with, or even heard of any family Since he was so close to Dingweihou's Mansion, others couldn't help but start to guess why Dingweihou's Mansion did this.

Many people who were interested in the position of Lang Ge'er's wife hurriedly invited family friends from Dingweihou Mansion to help inquire.

The fact that Lang Geer wants to go to the battlefield is not an ugly thing that should not be told to outsiders. When someone asks about it, no matter whether it is the old lady or Fu Li, they naturally tell them without concealing it.

On the battlefield?

Most people have no way of understanding Dingweihou Mansion's practice of sending their own heirs to the battlefield, and many people can't help but wonder whether some of them are playing tricks with malicious intentions

Without even thinking about it, Fu Li knew that he was the one these people were talking about.

But Fu Li didn't take this matter to heart. Except for the people she cared about, she never cared about the eyes of others, and in this world, there were only a few people who Fu Li cared about. .

On the other hand, Lan Geer was quite embarrassed after hearing the rumors outside, but he hadn't come to Fu Li to express his apology, so Jin Geer easily dispelled such thoughts.

However, Lang Geer still tried to explain to others that it was his dream to go to the battlefield since he was a child, and he had already had such an idea before Fu Li married into the Dingweihou Mansion.Because what he said is sincere, there are people who believe it. After all, the Dingweihou Mansion has been doing this since the establishment of Daxia, such as the son and grandson of the first Duke Dingguo, as well as the old man and Wei Yan...

No matter what their circumstances were at that time, and no matter how powerful their families were when they were young, every heir to the Dingweihou Mansion also went to the battlefield after they reached the age of fifteen.Wei Yan was earlier than others, because the Dingweihou Mansion was in danger at that time, and he even went to the battlefield at the age of 12.

Those who knew enough about Dingweihou's Mansion naturally knew this, and when Wei Ruolan said it, they naturally believed it.

Of course, there are people who don't believe it, but they don't have any valid reasons. The only thing they can talk about is the identity of Fu Li's stepmother. Other than that, there is nothing else at all. What can be used as evidence is that it is completely nonsense.

After a long time, some people who didn't really believe this statement, after being "brainwashed" by these people, even directly regarded this statement as a rumor, and completely ignored it.

But regardless of whether others believe it or not, Fu Li's attitude has been indifferent from beginning to end.

However, Lang Ge'er explained to her carefully, and she was quite useful.For this reason, she even went out of her way to find Wei Yan, and asked him to fight Lang Geer...

Let the water go?Fu Li would not do such a mindless thing. Not only did she not let Wei Yan release the water, but she made Wei Yan treat Wei Ruolan more strictly, so that when Wei Ruolan was allowed to go to the battlefield by Wei Yan, it would naturally be too late. It is bigger and more secure.

But at the same time, she also thought of a way to increase Wei Yan's chances of fighting with Lang Ge'er once or twice a month.

Of course, what Fu Li paid for this is not for outsiders.

But no matter how strict Wei Yan is, Wei Ruolan, who is dedicated to going to the battlefield, will always meet his standards, and then go to the battlefield with enthusiasm.

And the arrival of this day is actually not too slow.

But in three years, on the day of Lang Ge'er's fifteenth birthday, he announced in front of everyone that he would go to the border to join the war next month.

The others were caught off guard by the news and almost froze on the spot.

Fu Li looked at Wei Yan intently, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Wei Yan knew what she wanted to ask and nodded firmly.

Fu Li's eyes became hot, and he could hardly control his emotions.It's just that she hadn't cried yet, and the old lady beside her with a calm expression just passed out like this.

Everyone present was frightened by this sudden turn of events, and they couldn't care less about parting emotions. Everyone rushed forward and hurriedly carried the old lady to her bed.

After a while, the doctor came over.

Simply, the old lady was not sick, but fainted because she was getting old and emotional for a while.In such a situation, she only needs to stay in bed for a month, and she will be able to return to normal immediately.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the old lady was fine.

Lang Ge'er was still a little worried, because he always felt that the old lady would faint because he chose his birthday, and when everyone was happily celebrating his birthday, he said the news. That's why I fainted.

The old lady has regained her composure in this matter. Seeing Lang Geer's guilty face, she smiled and comforted him: "My fainting is only related to the news you said, but it has nothing to do with the day you choose. Whether you are When was the news announced, I would faint when I heard it." After she finished speaking, she sighed, "After all, I am old, my body is useless, and I can't stand stimulation. What does it have to do with you? Back then Your father didn't say a word, only left a letter and ran to the battlefield, didn't I survive like a normal person?"

As she said that, she raised her hand and touched Lang Geer's head, "But you should also consider my age as an old woman.

Remember to protect yourself, otherwise I just fainted when I heard the news that you are going to the battlefield, if I hear some bad news, I'm afraid..."

Lang Geer quickly interrupted the old lady: "Old lady, you will be fine."

The old lady smiled: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most common things. I will soon be seventy years old in the coming year. It is very normal for such a situation to happen. You just need to remember to take good care of yourself, and I will be healthy Kang is waiting for my good grandson to return home triumphantly."

For a moment, Lang Geer even had the idea of ​​not going to war.

But in the next second, he threw such thoughts out of his mind, and nodded very seriously: "Grandson will definitely protect himself, and will never let you worry about grandson."

The old lady didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear, and she was a little disappointed, but seeing that Lang Geer was so determined to follow in the footsteps of her father's generation to go to the battlefield, she also rarely felt relieved: "Good boy... ..."

The grandfather and grandson were talking, when the maid next to the old lady appeared in the room with a young man in his twenties: "Old ancestor, Master Gao is here."

The uncle Gao that this maid said, whose real name was Gao Qisheng, was the only child left by the old lady's prostitute who died young, and also Lang Ge'er's cousin.

Gao Qisheng was originally on duty in the Yamen today, but he heard the news from his servants that the old lady of the Dingweihou Mansion suddenly fainted, and that he was able to achieve his current achievements and status, and he was never separated from the Dingweihou Mansion His relationship with Dingwei Hou Mansion is naturally unusual.

After getting the news, he asked Shangguan to ask for leave almost immediately, and then rushed to Dingweihou's mansion without stopping.

The old lady was very happy to see Gao Qisheng coming over: "Aren't you on duty at the Yamen today? Why are you here?"

Gao Qisheng is an arrogant person. Although he has such a famous relative in Dingweihoufu, he never thought of using this identity to benefit himself. Instead, he was worried that other people would treat him differently because of Dingweihoufu. Seeing each other with eyes, so I never dare to slack off when I work on duty on weekdays

For example, today is Lang Ge'er's birthday, because it is not a holiday, he just had someone bring a valuable gift to Lang Ge'er, and he continued to be on duty at the Yamen, and did not appear in the Dingweihou Mansion .

Gao Qisheng looked at the old lady worriedly: "Old lady, you fainted, how could I not come here?"

The old lady looked at him helplessly: "The doctor has already said that I was just emotional for a while, not sick. After that, I just need to stay in bed for a month, and when the time comes, I will still be alive and kicking as before." She also knew Gao Qisheng's attitude towards the job He valued it, so he persuaded, "Now that you have seen me, you should be able to rest assured. You should hurry back to the Yamen to deal with business. If it is because I delay the business, I will be angry."

Gao Qisheng comforted the old lady with a smile: "Shangguan also knows why I asked for leave, and he will never be angry with me because of it. You can rest assured to recuperate."

After listening to the old lady, she was relieved.

However, Gao Qisheng remembered what the old lady said before, and couldn't help but ask: "You said that you fainted this time because of a moment of emotion. I don't know what it is that makes you so excited?"

The old lady didn't hide anything, and directly said that Brother Lang would go to the battlefield next month.

Gao Qisheng was stunned, and turned his head to look at Lang Geer, who had stepped aside after he came, with a complicated expression on his face: "With the current status of the Weihou Mansion, there is no need for Lang Geer to fight with his life on the battlefield again, right? Dingweihou Mansion can't guarantee Lang Ge'er's glory and wealth? Besides, I remember that Lang Ge'er is also quite talented in reading, even if he was born in the imperial examination, it is not impossible, why must he go to the battlefield to fight?"

At this moment, Gao Qisheng thought a lot.

Brother Lang said with a smile: "Because I prefer to be a military general, I prefer to kill enemies on the battlefield, and I enjoy the feeling of fighting with others. Cousin, don't worry about me. My strength has passed through my father's control." The test, to make sure that I have the strength to protect myself, my father will allow me to go to the battlefield."

Gao Qisheng sighed: "But you are going to the battlefield, so why don't I worry about it?"

Lang Geer looked at him, not knowing how to persuade him for a while.

Because Gao Qisheng's thoughts are the same as most of them. On the contrary, his family already has the ability to pave the way for the juniors, but still insists on letting the juniors fight on the battlefield. There are only a small number of people who can understand their approach.

So Langeer thought about it, and could only look at his uncle seriously: "I will definitely believe it on the battlefield, and I will never put people in danger."

Although everyone knew that this guarantee was unreliable, Gao Qisheng was slightly relieved because of Lang Geer's decisive tone.

After all, Gao Qisheng was busy with work, chatted with the old lady for a while, and soon returned to the yamen where he was on duty, and instead asked his wife to bring a few children to Dingweihou Mansion to accompany the old lady.

During these years, Fu Li and the Gao family have also dealt with each other, knowing that this family is sincerely treating the two old people well, so every time they come, they will treat them well.Now that they came to visit the old lady's condition, Fu Li naturally had no reason to refuse.

But she did not reject the Gao family members. For other people who came to visit after hearing the news, she led them to the living room and sat for a while, then said directly: "Everyone's kindness is appreciated, but the old lady I am sick and need to recuperate, it is really inconvenient to see guests, please go back."

Even the gifts they brought, Fu Li never accepted them.

Among them, Fu Li's natal family was naturally included.

After all, the Fu family is my natal family. Although Fu's mother is very annoying, but Fu Juren... no, it should be called Fu Jinshi now

The second year after Fu Juren got rid of his filial piety happened to be the triennial Spring Festival. Because of the money given by Fu Li before and the occasional handwritten books, Fu Juren had made great progress in his studies, and he was waiting to participate in the Spring Festival , although the ranking was only on the tail of the second-class, and he almost fell to the position of the same Jinshi, but he did pass the Jinshi examination.

And if you pass the Jinshi exam, you should be an official.

Fu Jinshi was also a man of real talent and learning. After that, he passed the examination of Shujishi smoothly and entered the Hanlin Academy as a duty.

After becoming an official, Fu Jinshi's words at home became even more important. Before, Fu Jinshi would use his status as an elder to obey Fu Jinshi's words, and Fu's mother would even force him to do things she didn't want to do. She became obedient, although she was not yet obedient to her son, but at least she didn't dare to mess around with what Fu Jinshi insisted on.

Because of this, after Fu Jinshi heard that the old lady was seriously ill, he had the opportunity to show up at the gate of Dingwei Hou Mansion with a generous gift.

However, Fu Li also did not accept his gift: "These gifts are all available in Weihou Mansion, and they are really not necessities. You should take them back, otherwise your mother will know that you took so much money to buy gifts for the old lady, you I'm afraid it won't stop for half a year."

Although Fu's mother didn't dare to fight against Fu Jinshi, she was still as tough as ever when facing her daughter-in-law. Although she didn't dare to start with her daughter-in-law, she still found fault with her daughter-in-law in trivial details , even Fu Jinshi couldn't say anything.

Fu Jinshi smiled wryly when he heard this: "Sister, why did you..."

After a pause, he didn't say anything.After so many years of contact, he has already seen Fu Li's attitude towards the Fu family, and naturally knows that even if he speaks out what is in his heart, it is impossible to change it.

Fu Li guessed what he was going to say, but just pretended not to hear

Fu Li himself didn't have a particularly good impression of the Fu family, but because the original owner still had nostalgia for the family, her feelings for the family became much more complicated.It's not that she likes to embarrass herself, but she has no way to sever ties with the Fu family, so she can only settle for the next best thing. She only hopes to associate with Fu Jinshi, who has a relatively good character. Even his wife, Fu Li, is not very good. willing to contact.

So in the face of Fu Jinshi's expectations, she could only choose to ignore them.

Fu Jinshi had no choice but to leave with a gift.

Maybe Fu Jinshi will be a little happier when he learns that Fu Li, except for the gifts from Gao's family, has not been left in Dingwei Hou's mansion by anyone who came to visit.

The days when the old lady recuperated passed so peacefully, and soon, it will be a month later.

As soon as the old lady got up from the bed, Wei Ruolan, who had already packed her luggage within a month, said goodbye directly, and went straight to the border with a few guards.

As soon as he left, Dingwei Hou Mansion seemed much deserted.

At this time, Brother Jin suddenly said during dinner one day: "I want to go to Gusu to take the imperial examination this year."

With the status and merits of Dingweihou Mansion, there are actually two quotas for yin students in the mansion.

Yin Sheng is a special means to reward those ministers who have made meritorious service to the court.The descendants of these ministers can have one or two places to study in the Guozijian. After they are successful in their studies, if they have the ability and ambition, they can go directly from the scholar to the imperial examination. If they fail the exam, they are also qualified to be officials.

Now there are only two children in Dingweihou's Mansion, Lang Ge'er has already decided to take the road of general, and only Jin Ge'er may use this quota.With Brother Jin's talent and learning, he will definitely pass the imperial examination, so there is no need to become an official directly relying on Yin Sheng's quota

If you become an official based on your yin-sheng qualifications, you will inevitably be looked down upon by those officials who rely on your own real ability to pass the exam, and such officials with "improper backgrounds" will basically cut off their qualifications to become officials of the third rank and above.

So at the beginning, although Wei Yan and Fu Li wanted to hand over one of the Yin students' qualifications to Brother Jin, they only planned to let him start the exam directly from the scholar.

After all, the imperial examinations are difficult, and every time you take an exam, you have to sit in the exam room for a long time. During this period, you can only eat or go to the toilet in a small exam room. When you wait for the next exam, you even sleep in the same small space. , no matter who is in such an environment, it is an unspeakable torture.

It is also a good thing to be tortured a few times less.

But Brother Jin felt that he had to go to Gusu for the Juren examination anyway, so even if he used this quota, it was not necessary for him.On the contrary, if you go all the way from the county examination to the government examination, you can get used to the examination environment, which will also help you in the subsequent examinations.

Fu Li couldn't hold back Brother Jin, so he could only agree in the end.

According to the words of Mr. Lu, an ethnographer, with Brother Jin's current talents and studies, let alone a Jinshi, even if he is the number one scholar, he is still a contender, so there is no need to worry.

It's just that Brother Jin is young, and Fu Li has been worried about letting him go to Gusu to take the imperial examination alone, so it has been delayed until now.

Fu Li was not surprised that Brother Jin wanted to take the imperial examination, she just wondered why Brother Jin decided to take the imperial examination at this time.According to Fu Li's understanding of Brother Jin, she originally thought that Brother Jin would wait until he was 15 before going to Gusu.

After all, although the relationship between Brother Jin and the Lin family has eased, and the relationship with Lin Ruhai has also made great progress, Brother Jin has not let go of the matter of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.

Faced with Fu Li's questioning eyes, Brother Jin pursed his lips: "After Brother Lan left, I always felt a little unaccustomed, so I thought that I might as well take advantage of the years when he went to the border to fight wars and quickly join the court as an official. When Big Brother Lan triumphs, my official position will not be much worse than that of Big Brother Lan."
