Chapter 11
Chapter 11
After waiting for ten days, the Nanping General's Mansion not only did not receive the imperial decree, but instead received the news that the eldest prince would not marry a wife or take concubines within the year.
Now Jiang Yuechan was stupid, Aunt Guo was stupid, Jiang Hengde and Jiang Du were relieved, Jiang Yi didn't say anything, only Jiang Yuewei was overjoyed, you know, she has been angry with Jiang Yuechan these days.
Thinking of Jiang Yuechan talking to her like a quasi-concubine these days, she was so angry that she didn't have a good meal for a few days.In addition, Auntie was helping Jiang Yuechan to speak, which made her even more worried.So it was not enough for her to just get rid of the marriage in such a silent way.
Jiang Yi was neither surprised nor regretful. On the second day after the incident, when Youxing came to deliver the snacks, he told Jiang Yi all the ins and outs of the incident, including what Concubine Zhengui did in it.
Feng Qin asked him to say these things, so after Jiang Yi stepped back from the others, You Xing had no scruples.
Jiang Yuechan fell into the dream of a side concubine, which was nothing at all.Aunt Guo's actions will be laughed at for a few days at most, and it's okay after that.But I didn't expect that there would be gossip from the people, saying that Jiang Yuechan had met the First Prince in private, that the two were interested in each other, and even sent tokens to each other, but they didn't expect it to happen.He also said that Jiang Yuechan was heartbroken and fell ill.
It's nothing for the empress to see her in the palace, but if she hadn't met the eldest prince accompanied by the elders at home, she would have been gossiped about.Moreover, if two people secretly exchanged tokens, it would be a private exchange, which would have a great impact on the woman's reputation.
Now the inner courtyard of General Pingnan's mansion was in chaos, Jiang Yuechan was crying in the room, and asked her father to tell the emperor to let her be the eldest prince's side concubine.
Jiang Hengde was also furious. If Mrs. Guo hadn't been so ostentatious at the beginning, how could these words come out later?And let him talk to the emperor?Where does he have such a big face?
"Don't cry!" Jiang Hengde said angrily, "What does it look like? If you knew how to restrain yourself, would it be like this?"
"Father! If you don't help my daughter, what will she do in the future?" Jiang Yuechan cried and threw herself at his feet.
"Now it's rumored like this outside, do you think the eldest prince will accept you? Do you think the emperor will agree? If you are accepted, wouldn't it prove that the rumors are true? Then what's the royal face? What's more, this matter is based on nothing. How could the emperor let you tarnish the reputation of the royal family?" Jiang Hengde was really angry, unlike some fathers who think that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and he hopes that his daughter can read books and learn more about the world.But his two daughters can't read a few words, and they are arguing and arguing with each other.
"Master, you have to think of a way for Chan'er!" Aunt Guo also cried and begged.
This time she also lost face, accepted countless flattery, countless requests, and in the end it was just a joke.
"Ignorant woman! If it weren't for you, Chan'er wouldn't have fallen to this point, and you still have the face to cry?!" Jiang Hengde scolded angrily.
Jiang Du felt that it would not be a problem to keep making trouble like this, so he pulled his father back and said, "Father, it is important to solve the problem now."
Jiang Hengde sighed fiercely, "What can I do? Hurry up and find someone to marry her to! If it's too late, I'm afraid it will affect Wei'er."
Although the influence of women's immorality on other unmarried women in the family is not so great now, many families still care about it.Therefore, Jiang Yuechan had to be married off before the impact became more serious, so that the rumors could be quelled and the reputation of the Jiang family's two daughters could be preserved.
"I won't marry!" With the eldest prince in front, how could she have a crush on other people?
"Then what do you want? Die at home?" Jiang Hengde asked angrily.
"I..." Jiang Yuechan thought for a while, and said, "I can find a son-in-law!"
"Go ahead and dream!" Jiang Hengde directly refused.
Jiang Yuewei pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "Sister, you can just listen to your father. My father is right. With your current reputation, you have hurt me and the rest of the family. Sister, I can't justify it. Besides, our eldest brother and second brother are here, and you are not a daughter-in-law, how can you recruit a son-in-law?"
In the Dasheng Dynasty, generally there was only an only daughter in the family, and those with a good family background would recruit a son-in-law.
There was also a young lady from the ancestors of the Jiang family who recruited a son-in-law, but she was the eldest daughter. Because of her weak body, the family was afraid that she would be wronged if she married off, and the younger brothers felt sorry for her sister, so they agreed to recruit a son-in-law.
And Jiang Yuechan can't rely on anyone, and her reputation is not good, let alone stay at home.
Aunt Guo still expects her daughter to let her live a good life, and she doesn't want her daughter to marry hastily.After thinking for a while, he said to Jiang Hengde: "Master, where do you want me to find a suitable one for a while?"
Jiang Hengde didn't know about this kind of thing either, so he just said, "You should find a way and do it as soon as possible."
Aunt Guo felt that there was still something to be said, so she replied: "Yes, tomorrow, I will ask the matchmaker to ask."
Jiang Hengde didn't stay long and left.
Jiang Du followed suit.
Jiang Yi didn't go there, but Xia Feng had already taught him clearly.
Jiang Yi felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't know who spread those rumors, if it was Feng Qin, what was he trying to do?If not, who could it be?
Not only Jiang Yi was puzzled by this, but the queen was also very upset when she found out.
She didn't want to worry about Jiang Yuechan's reputation, but her son's reputation couldn't be ruined.Obviously she just asked someone to come and see, but Jiang Yuechan and Guo Shi were the ones who didn't know how to restrain themselves, and now they want to implicate her son, how could she agree?So he dragged his sick body and asked his confidant to arrange a thorough investigation.
This afternoon, Prince Lu's mansion came to pick up Jiang Yi in a carriage, saying that Zhuangzi sent venison, and asked Jiang Yi to go to the mansion to taste it.
Jiang Yi wanted to ask about the rumors, so he went.
"Come here quickly, the meat is all marinated, and I'll be waiting for you." Seeing him coming in, Feng Qin smiled.
In addition to stewing, some tender parts were cut for grilling.The weather is nice today, so the barbecue place is at Wangyouting.
Jiang Yi saluted, then handed the cloak to Xia Feng, and sat on the remaining vacant seat.
Feng Qin looked at him, frowned, and said, "Your complexion doesn't look very good, what's the matter?"
Jiang Yi shook his head and didn't want to say more.
Feng Qin didn't make things difficult for him, and said directly: "Xia Feng, tell me."
Xia Feng carefully glanced at his young master, one side is the young master, the other is the prince, isn't this embarrassing him?
But having said that, his young master has not been resting well recently, and his face is indeed not very good-looking.
Seeing that the young master didn't stop him, Xia Feng said truthfully: "There is a commotion in the house because of the young lady's affairs, and the young master has not had a good rest."
"What's the trouble?" Feng Qin was a little unhappy.
Jiang Yi waved Xia Feng back, and asked, "My lord, did you spread the word about Jiang Yuechan and the eldest prince?"
Feng Qin raised his eyebrows, "You doubt me?"
He's not angry, it's normal for Jiang Yi to have such doubts.
Jiang Yi shook his head, "I'm just asking. If so, I don't want to worry about it. If not, I'd better take precautions."
For Aunt Guo, Jiang Yi has never had a good impression of them. Although since childhood, the Guo family has never been able to embarrass them in terms of food and clothing, but he is very clear about the messes he uses on weekdays.Moreover, in the previous life, Aunt Guo tried her best to betroth her younger brother's daughter to his elder brother. For this reason, he also tarnished his elder brother's reputation, let his elder brother not find a wife, and almost got charged with crimes.And that girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his brother was injured by the enemy's spies. If she hadn't been there, his brother might have died.
As for Jiang Yuechan, she is still a bit out of her mind.But after being annulled in the previous life, she began to tease this and that, and she is not uninterested in the elder brother's affairs.
Jiang Yi knew that in his life, the best thing for him was his elder brother, and his stubbornness not only didn't help his elder brother, but made his elder brother worry a lot about him.So after being reborn, he can ignore others, but he has to help arrange and understand the future of the eldest brother.
Feng Qin smiled and said, "I really didn't do this, but I heard what my concubine said, the queen wants to investigate."
Jiang Yi thought for a while, "I can't think of who my Jiang family has offended."
"This matter is too big. To be honest, there are not a few people in Beijing who are staring at the position of the princess. Your aunt swaggered through the market, and she didn't even know she offended people. The reason why this story can be spread It's so fast, it's so ugly, how do you know that she didn't have the credit for angering others?"
"My lord is right." There was nothing to argue about, and he knew it in his heart.
Feng Qin saw that the charcoal fire was almost done, so he picked up a few pieces of meat and put them on the net, "If it doesn't affect you, I'm not going to take care of this matter. But if you want to check, I can check it for you, and you can do it too." Good idea."
Jiang Yi looked at him, waiting for him to say the corresponding price.
Feng Qin really only wanted to help Jiang Yi because of his face, and didn't want anything in return, so he didn't say much.
Seeing that he didn't make a statement, Jiang Yi seemed to be thinking too much, and felt a little relieved.
"Then trouble the prince." Jiang Yi said.
Feng Qin smiled, and put the roasted meat slices into the bowl in front of Jiang Yi, "Eat, you have to make up for it. Since there is a lot of noise in the general's mansion, why not stay in the palace for a few days."
Jiang Yi shook his head, "There are many things at home, I can still help when I go back."
"Alright, let's stay overnight tonight. Drink some wine and let the night breeze blow. You'll have a headache." As he spoke, Feng Qin poured Jiang Yi a glass of peach blossom wine, which is as good as plum wine, but too much It's easy to get drunk.
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
Feng Qin was in a better mood, chatting with Jiang Yi while grilling meat.
As Feng Qin wished, Jiang Yi drank too much again, but it was better than last time. Last time he hardly ate, and he got drunk quickly. This time, he ate a lot. Can't keep my eyes open.
But in the end, he was carried back to the house by Feng Qin.
Taking off his shoes and socks, Feng Qin took the hot towel prepared by Xia Feng and wiped Jiang Yi's hands and face.
Jiang Yi was a little awkward, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes, so he could only try to stay clear, and wanted to wait for Feng Qin to leave before going to sleep.
Feng Qin let all the waiters go out, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself, looking at Jiang Yi's sleeping face.
Because Jiang Yi was sleepy, his eyelids did not tremble.Feng Qin thought he was really asleep, and leaned against the head of the bed relaxedly.
Jiang Yi had slept next to him like this before, but he never wanted to take a serious look at Feng Qin.
Jiang Yi was a little conflicted, he didn't know why Feng Qin didn't leave, and with Feng Qin here, he really couldn't sleep peacefully.
Just when Jiang Yi was about to give up fighting tiredness and just want to fall asleep like this, he suddenly heard Feng Qin's gentle voice about to drip water, saying, "Qingchen, sleep well."
Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, the sleepiness just now disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
Seeing him wake up suddenly, Feng Qin was surprised at first, thinking he had woken him up.But looking at his surprised and terrified eyes, Feng Qin suddenly realized that things were not that simple.
