The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Within a few days, it was rumored that there was going to be a wedding in the Zhuangyuan's mansion, with lanterns and festoons, ostentatious words of joy, and it was very lively.

As a result, many rumors arose in the capital, saying that Xie Shu was going to learn from Kong Xiu and pursue another rich and noble marriage. In addition, Xie Shu had a reputation as a married businessman in the past, and this time it was even more unsightly.

It's just that Xie Shu is not what he used to be. Everyone is guessing which family chose him, and some even speculate that it is Lu Jiao, the son of Princess Weihe.

In fact, I guessed that Lu Jiao was also because during this period of time Princess Weihe rejected those wealthy families who proposed marriage one by one, revealing that she wanted to marry at a low price.Coincidentally, when Princess Weihe's disciples went to Zhuangyuan's mansion, they were seen by others, so it's not surprising to have such a guess.

After Shao Zhen knew about this, he couldn't help saying hello in his heart. He didn't expect Lu Jiao to be so easy to use. Xie Shu fell into the trap so quickly. Now it's all right. Xie Shu and the Yu family have nothing to do with each other. Those who need it have gone to Jiangnan.

However, Princess Weihe was very baffled. Xie Shu didn't pay a visit at home, and also didn't formally propose marriage. How could he talk about something happy with Lu Jiao?What's more, after he sent someone to deliver the invitation that day, Xie Shu directly rejected him, saying that he was already married.

But how could Princess Weihe tell others about this kind of thing?I don't even want to tell Shao Zhen who boasted to Haikou face to face that day, could it be said that the one who married Xie Shu was not Lu Jiao, but was preempted by others?

Princess Weihe half thought it was unbelievable, is there anyone who can compare to them Lu Jiao?He half felt ashamed, he took a fancy to Xie Shu, this is Xie Shu's great blessing, not only did he not accept it, but he dared to reject him like this!

Thinking of this, Princess Weihe felt great hatred in her heart, she would not let Xie Shu fulfill her wish, so she turned around and went to the palace.

Since Xie Shu dared to marry other aristocratic families, how could he make Xie Shu feel better?

As the princess of the Weihe River, Shao Yu did not have many restrictions on entering and leaving the palace.

As soon as Shao Yu entered the palace, he went straight to where Emperor Qing was. Now Emperor Qing was enjoying the spring in the imperial garden. After a while, he announced him to go.

Shao Yu discovered that the person accompanying Emperor Qing was Wei Jun, but Shao Yu had some impression of this person.

This Lord Wei was a palace official in Emperor Qing's residence in the south of the Yangtze River, and he brought him back after being favored by Emperor Qing.

At the beginning, it was a fresh idea, and then Emperor Qing also left him in the cold for a while, but now, for some reason, his favor has not diminished, so the means and ability are not small.

It's just that Wei Jun has no power, no power, and no heirs, so no one pays much attention to it.

Seeing Shao Yu coming, Emperor Qing couldn't help asking: "Why do you have the time to see me today?"

Emperor Qing knew Princess Weihe very well, and knew that she had a haughty personality, so he must have something important to do when he suddenly entered the palace to see him.

Seeing that Emperor Qing had no intention of letting Wei Qingtong beside him avoid him, Princess Weihe didn't care and said, "Your Majesty knows what I'm worried about recently."

Emperor Qing laughed loudly and said: "Eldest brother has already arranged a marriage for Jiaoer? Who has this honor? Tell me, if it wasn't for elder brother who insisted on choosing a son-in-law for Jiaoer himself, I would have I have arranged a good marriage for him, but since the elder brother has chosen it, I will marry him off in a good manner, but I have to check it carefully."

When Princess Weihe heard the words, her face was not very good-looking: "Your Majesty, I really want to marry Jiaoer, but why others don't like our family."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qing couldn't help but be very surprised: "Who can actually look down on my nephew, he is the county head appointed by me personally!"

Princess Weihe said in a complaining tone: "What's the use of the county master? How can it compare to those five surnames and four families."

Princess Weihe's words were not aimless. The five surnames and four families did not refer to ordinary aristocratic families, but four noble families with four surnames and five noble families with the same long history.

No matter how many dynasties have passed through for hundreds of years, because of the practice that only the sons of the gentry can become officials, the aristocratic families have always stood firm, so everyone is proud to be married to these aristocratic families. These aristocratic families rarely marry with foreign surnames, unless it is authority The court officials in hand.If Emperor Qing had not started to implement the imperial examination system, some aristocratic families would have declined, such as the Lu family, otherwise it would not have been Kong Xiu's turn.

But even so, the concept of the noble family is deep, and the gap between scholars and common people is extremely deep. When the Qing Dynasty was newly established, it was not easy for the emperor to marry a family daughter for his son. For example, the concubine of Emperor Qing was just an ordinary official. daughter.

Princess Weihe's words immediately reached Emperor Qing's heart. Emperor Qing looked around and said angrily, "How unreasonable is this? Could it be that my family's century-old emperor is not as good as the same surname? Who dares to be so bold?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around fell to their knees, and Wei Qingtong brought tea and comforted him softly.

Princess Weihe was overjoyed, he knew well that the reason why Emperor Qing was so angry was because he gave him a reason to attack the family.

Even if Xie Shu is extremely talented, as long as he dares to marry a daughter from an aristocratic family, then he is just an abandoned son, and Emperor Qing can use him to make an example of others.

Only then did Princess Weihe speak: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty must remember that he was Xie Shu, the champion of the new division last year."

As soon as these words fell, the tea in Wei Qingtong's hand shook and almost spilled.

Emperor Qing noticed it, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he also frowned.

After Shao Yu finished speaking, he thought that Emperor Qing would formulate punishment measures for this person, but Emperor Qing was thoughtful and didn't say a word.

Shao Yu then said anxiously: "Your Majesty, although this person is extremely talented, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Qing said: "Brother, are you sure it's Xie Shu? There should be some inside story, as I remember, isn't Xie Shu already married?"

Emperor Qing's words were of course not partial to Xie Shu, but he was really impressed with Xie Shu, not to mention that he had personally met Xie Shu and his husband Lang Yu Chuxi during his trip to Jiangnan.

Shao Yu didn't expect Emperor Qing to know that Xie Shu had been married before. He was a little unnatural for a moment, and he didn't know how to explain it. Wei Qingtong next to him smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, my concubine also remembers Mr. Xie. I used to be married to Yu's family, and it's only been a few years, has Mr. Xie married another one? According to my concubine, Your Majesty might as well call someone to inquire, so that we can know whether this matter is true or not."

Shao Yu's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that Wei Qingtong had a bit of wink, not only helping him out, but also pouring a layer of dirty water on Xie Shu along the way.

Just let Xie Shu face the saint in person, I don't know what countermeasures he has to deal with, but Shao Yu thought about it, even if Xie Shu made every excuse at this moment, it is impossible to get the emperor's reuse.

At this time, Xie Shu received the emperor's urgent order at home, so he calmly followed the servant.

Although since the palace examination, as a seventh-rank editor, he has never faced the saint alone again. For others, it is a difficult thing to face the saint. If he is not careful, he will be smashed to pieces. To him, it is a Golden opportunity.

The place where Emperor Qing summoned him was in the apse, which made Xie Shu more sure of his guess. Sure enough, when he arrived, there was a handsome man with a red mole on the tip of his nose. He presumably was Princess Weihe. The people next to him are also acquaintances.

But Xie Shu just turned a blind eye, and after entering the palace, he greeted Emperor Qing without squinting.

Emperor Qing was not flustered when he observed Xie Shu's mood, and he didn't seem to know Princess Weihe, so he knew it well, but it didn't prevent Emperor Qing from feeling angry at this moment.

Xie Shu can be regarded as the number one scholar hand-picked by himself, given him such great honor and favor, he secretly voted for the aristocratic family, how could Emperor Qing bear it?

Emperor Qing said lightly: "Xie Shu, I heard that there was a happy event in your family recently? But you want to get married?"

Xie Shu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing."

Emperor Qing said coldly: "Oh? I don't know who Xie Qing married this time? What kind of official status is worthy of Xie Qing?"

As soon as Emperor Qing said this, the people around were all silent, knowing that after today was over, Xie Shu's official career would be at the head of the line.

However, Xie Shu neither apologized nor asked for forgiveness, but said in surprise: "Where did Your Majesty hear about this?

Although I'm going to get married recently, the one I'm getting married to is none other than my wife. I was so down and down that I couldn't hold a beautiful wedding banquet for my wife.A few days ago, my wife came to Beijing to look for the minister, and the minister began to prepare, but I didn't expect it to cause misunderstanding. "

As soon as Xie Shu's explanation came out, everyone present had different expressions. Wei Qingtong's eyes were complicated, but Emperor Qing immediately realized it. If it was the reason, he could fully understand it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing couldn't help being very embarrassed. When he was thinking about how to turn around, Princess Weihe frowned in dissatisfaction. He only felt that Xie Shu's mouth was full of nonsense. It must be an excuse to hold a make-up wedding, and he must not just let him go like this .

However, as soon as Princess Weihe spoke, Emperor Qing interrupted him. At this time, how could Emperor Qing not understand what was going on here?

With the elder brother's character, he must have taken a fancy to Xie Shu and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but he found himself when he saw that things were not going to work.And what Shao Yu said and did just now was to irritate himself, so that he could do things conveniently.

After thinking everything through, Emperor Qing felt very nervous, if Shao Yu wasn't his elder brother, he would never give up like this, so Emperor Qing naturally didn't want to listen to him anymore, so Shao Yu had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, Emperor Qing comforted him kindly: "It turned out that I misunderstood Xie Qing."

But Xie Shu said with a smile: "It's normal for Your Majesty to have this concern. Now how self-confident the five families and four surnames are, and why the world values ​​it, it's like this. If your Majesty wants to change this trend, you must make up your mind. .”

Emperor Qing was very interested when he heard the words: "Oh? What's your opinion, Xie Qing?"

Of course, Emperor Qing actually didn't take it seriously in his heart. The view of aristocratic families has long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the world, and it is by no means easily shaken.Emperor Qing also tried many methods before, and he even had someone redefine the roster of the aristocratic family, setting the Shaw family as the first class, but this book was rarely circulated after that.Therefore, Emperor Qing knew that only the imperial examination system could get rid of the situation in the court restricted by the aristocratic family.

Xie Shu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the clans of the aristocratic family rely on the mutual marriage, and the relationship is intertwined, so it is stable. Now that your majesty has implemented the imperial examination system, the imperial examinations are regarded by the aristocratic family as the link to maintain the family status. Therefore, your majesty It is better to directly prohibit intermarriage between senior officials of the DPRK and the five surnames of the aristocratic family."

Emperor Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, this plan is very good, and he directly draws his salary from the bottom of the pot, but how many people will follow this law when it is promulgated?But what he originally wanted was not to be followed by others.

Being able to think of this method already shows Xie Shu's talent.

At this time, Xie Shu said again: "This idea is my temporary idea, I am worried about offending others, please forgive me..."

Emperor Qing knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings. If this matter got out, how would Xie Shu gain a foothold in the court in the future, but Xie Shu took such a risk, and he could also see his loyalty to himself.

But just now in the Royal Garden, I took the opportunity to explode, if I don't take advantage of this time to promulgate the law, when will I wait, but who will be the raft this time?

Emperor Qing's eyes turned away from Shao Yu, who had an ugly face, and then Emperor Qing was very happy, and asked someone to reward Xie Shu with a lot of congratulatory gifts, and then let Xie Shu go down.

Less than a few days later, Emperor Qing issued a decree prohibiting officials of the seventh rank and above from intermarrying with the five surnames.

As soon as this law came out, the government and the public were shocked.

No one expected that Emperor Qing would make such a determination, and how the aristocratic family would respond.

People ran around one after another, quietly inquiring about the inside story, and soon there were rumors that this matter was related to Weihe Princess Shao Yu, who encouraged Emperor Qing to do this because he did not want to marry Lu Jiao to the family.

But Shao Yu is now behind closed doors, making the matter even more confusing.

The marriage between Kong Xiu and Lu's family has also been postponed indefinitely, after all, no one dares to make trouble at this time.

At this time, firecrackers shot up into the sky outside the gate of Zhuangyuan's mansion, and the red silk stretched its teeth and claws. Today is the day when Xie Shu and Yu Chuxi will hold a wedding banquet.

First worship heaven, second worship high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the bridal chamber.

After Yu Chuxi arrived at the new house, he was in a strange mood when he heard the laughter of the guests outside. Is this a real marriage?He had fantasized about it before, and it turned out to be like this.

Thinking of Xie Shu holding his hand and whispering to him just now, Yu Chuxi couldn't help laughing.

Outside, there was joy and hustle and bustle, and there were quite a few guests. In fact, Xie Shu hosted all the candidates from the same imperial examination, or friends from his hometown in the capital. Almost all of them came to join him when they received the invitation.

However, Xie Shu didn't intend to accompany the guests. He originally held the wedding banquet not for people to be a witness, but just to give Lang Jun a wedding that belongs to each other.

Therefore, when Xie Shu saw that Yu Chuxi was about to enter the bridal chamber, he hurriedly said that he would come right away, but at this moment, after knowing it later, his words were really strange.Fortunately, he said it in Lang Jun's ear, and no one else heard it.

Not long after, Xie Shu got rid of the crowd and stepped into the new house.

I saw that a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles inlaid with gold carvings and paintings had been lit on the wedding table in the inner room. The soft halo swayed slightly. Inside the broken jade bead curtain, a figure was sitting quietly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yu Chuxi looked up at him from under the soft gauze curtain, and saw his brows were picturesque, the red moles at the corners of his eyes were like red plums blooming in the first snow on his skin, his eyes were clear, and his rouge lips glistened Moving shiny luster.

Xie Shu walked up to him, his heartbeat was not as calm as usual, it hit his chest one after another, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Xie Shu's voice became a little hoarse unconsciously, and after sitting down, he whispered next to Yu Chuxi's ear: "Lang Jun..."

For some reason, Yu Chuxi always felt that the man's actions at the moment concealed some kind of danger, and the hot air was blowing in his ears, causing an inexplicable itchiness. He was held in Xie Shu's arms and pressed down.

Yu Chuxi's thick long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her hand to wrap around his neck.
