Chapter 919 The Eldest Son

Four dishes and one soup for dinner, braised mutton, steamed crucian carp, vegetarian croquettes, emerald tofu, lean meat abalone soup. With Han Jianming's status, it is relatively frugal to eat four dishes and one soup with the Qiu family. However, Yuxi and Yunqing were very frugal, so the officials below naturally did not dare to pass them by, and Han Jianming was no exception.

After the mother and son had dinner, Qiu asked with a smile: "Look at the joy on your face, is there something good?"

Han Jianming nodded with a smile and said, "My lord is already on his way back. This time, the Northwest captives have been destroyed, which has raised the prestige of our Northwest Army."

Qiu Shi didn't care much about state affairs, but what should be asked was: "Then should we attack the capital next?" When the capital is defeated, she can return to the capital.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Now that many places have been hit by disasters, there is no way to send troops in a short time." Han Jianming also wanted to return to Beijing. When he escaped hastily back then, he not only lost his title and family property, but was also expelled from the clan by the Han family. When Yunqing conquered the capital, he would be able to return to the capital in style.

Qiu sighed and said: "I hope the world will be peaceful soon." When the world is peaceful, people will not always die.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Soon." The overall situation will be settled after the capital is captured.

Qiu said with some regret: "Last time, I asked Yuxi to help you pay attention to see if there is any suitable candidate in Pick City. It is a pity that Yuxi said that she is too busy and has no time." I also know that Han Jianming listens to Yuxi most Only then did Qiu want Yuxi to help. Of course, Yuxi's good vision is also an important reason.

Han Jianming never read the letters exchanged between Qiu Shi and Yuxi, so he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Han Jianming weighed it in his heart, and said, "Mother, aren't you a prostitute? The princess is so busy every day, why do you still bother her with these trivial matters? Besides, this is my housework. It's not appropriate for the concubine to take care of her." Some things are hard to say, because of Ye's tossing back then, Yunqing dislikes Yuxi's meddling in the Han family's housework.

Qiu Shi was not happy, and raised her voice and said: "What is a trivial matter? Is it a trivial matter for you to remarry? There is no headed mistress in this mansion. Let's see what it looks like."

Han Jianming had a headache and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to continue marrying, but I haven't found a satisfactory candidate." It was also the matter of the Ye family that cast a big shadow on Han Jianming. If the family is the same or not as good as the Ye family, it is better not to marry. Also because of this reason, it took so long to pick a satisfactory candidate.

Qiu said: "You have to pick and choose like this again, the day lily is cold." Qiu wanted to hold a banquet two months ago to give Han Jianming a good look, but Han Jianming said that it is not good to hold a banquet outside the disaster-stricken Governor's Mansion , Qiu could only give up.

Han Jianming looked helpless.

Qiu felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and immediately said with a cold face: "If you still can't select someone this year, then don't blame me for meddling."

Han Jianming didn't believe Qiu Shi's vision, and hurriedly said: "There are too many things this year. So, I will definitely solve this problem before June next year. What do you think?"

Qiu said: "You said this, I didn't force you. Also, brother Chang's matter must be paid close attention, and there is no longer a delay. I don't know if the year of the monkey will be over if we delay any longer. Wait until the matter between you father and son is resolved. Now, my mother will feel at ease."

Han Jianming said: "I'm also considering Brother Chang's marriage." He originally wanted Brother Chang to be a civil servant, and wanted to marry him a girl from a civil servant's family. But after the matter of Niu's family, he hesitated a little.

After talking about Han Jianming and Brother Chang, Qiu talked about Qiqi's marriage again: "Qiqi's marriage is scheduled for November, and neither of us can go back. What kind of wedding is it that the elders are not around?" Like? I don't know if the Feng family will take it lightly." Qiqi is Qiu's first grandchild, and she watched him grow up, so the feelings are also very different. Before, Qiu Shi wanted to go back to Pickaxe City to officiate the wedding,

It was Han Jianming who tried his best to object, but she gave up because she couldn't resist.

Han Jianming also felt a little sorry for his daughter. It is always a pity that his father is not there for such a big event as marriage. Han Jianming said: "There are too many things, I can't get away, I believe the Feng family will understand."

Qiu Shi said: "Ming'er, do you think it is possible for the son to marry Qiqi? In this way, Qiqi's face will also be bright."

Han Jianming had a headache when Qiu's idea came out: "Mother, Qiqi has brothers, and it's not up to the eldest son to marry her. Mother, I have already written to the princess, asking her to send Qiqi away." Go out." Letting Yuxi send Qiqi out is better than letting Qihao send Qiqi out.

Qiu Shi nodded and said: "Speaking of which, we can't go back, and I don't know if Qi Qi will be sad?"

There will definitely be sadness. After all, getting married is the most important thing in life, and the closest people are not around.

Han Jianming said: "There is no other way." He also wanted to go back, but he was so busy now that he couldn't get away. And as far as his current position is concerned, he can't leave without Yuxi's approval.

While talking, Han Hao was outside talking about something to report. Qiu Shi said: "Go and do your work!"

After leaving the main courtyard, Han Jianming asked, "What happened?" If anyone asked to see him, Han Hao would explain it directly.

Han Hao looked embarrassed.

Han Jianming didn't ask any more questions, and asked all the way back to his yard, "What happened?"

Han Hao lowered his head and said, "Master, the girl Yingxiang in the second master's yard has been pregnant for more than two months." Yingxiang is Brother Chang's personal maid. Brother Chang hasn't married a wife yet, so it's not a good thing for a maid to be pregnant.

Han Jianming's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked, "Is this confirmed?" It's nothing to confiscate the personal servant girl of a man of a rich family, as long as she likes it, she can be raised as an aunt after she becomes a relative and crosses the clear road with the mistress. But bringing out a child is a big taboo.

Han Hao nodded and said: "It has been confirmed. But few people know about it. Master, this is all my negligence, please punish me."

Han Jianming waved his hands and said, "I can't blame you for this matter." Although Han Hao is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, he can't control the affairs of the young master's yard. If you want to blame this matter, you can blame Brother Chang.

First there was the matter of the girl from the Niu family, and now it was revealed that the big maid was pregnant. Han Jianming was furious: "Give that maid medicine, and then send him out." This maid has also learned the rules, how could she not Knowing that people like them cannot have a concubine's eldest son. Knowing that it is impossible to do it, such a disaster must not be left behind.

Although Han Jianming didn't punish him, Han Hao still felt that he was negligent: "Yes, master."

"Go and call that villain here." He is already busy with outside affairs, and now he has to help deal with such a bad thing. One can imagine Han Jianming's mood at this meeting.

After a while, Brother Chang entered the study room, before Han Jianming reprimanded him, he knelt down and said, "Father, please be merciful, let Yingxiang give birth to the child!" This matter will certainly not keep the child.

He thought that Brother Chang didn't know, but that maid was overthinking, but he didn't expect Brother Chang to be the one who knew. Han Jianming was so angry that his veins bulged immediately, he grabbed the inkstone at hand and threw it at it, cursing angrily, "Nie Zhan, do you know what you're talking about?"

The inkstone hit Brother Chang's forehead directly, causing his forehead to bleed. Brother Chang ignored the pain and begged, "Father, that child is my blood, I can't just watch him disappear like this."

Han Jianming wanted to strangle Brother Chang to death: "You have read all your books into the dog's stomach? Don't you know that the eldest son of the concubine is the root of the mother's family?" Now that the family has some power, no one is willing to marry their daughter to him. With Brother Chang's ability, if he didn't have the support of his wife and family, how would he be able to keep this family business after a hundred years.

Brother Chang felt a little sad. Although he was the eldest son of the Han family to the outside world, no one knew that his biological mother was an aunt, but it was recorded in the name of the aunt, so he obtained the status of a aunt. Because of this, he wanted to keep the child. Brother Chang said: "Father, he is also your own grandson, so why don't you give him a way out?"

Han Jianming snorted coldly and said, "This child is absolutely determined not to be kept. If you want to blame him, blame him for having a greedy mother and an insane father." He has several sons, and he doesn't have to worry about having no grandchildren to hug.

At this time, Han Hao [UUReading Book 00kxs] said outside: "Master, the old lady invites you to the main courtyard. Master, the old lady already knows about Yingxiang."

Han Jianming looked at Brother Chang, his eyes were full of coldness: "Even if your grandmother knows about this, it can't change anything." He is filial to the Qiu family, but when it comes to issues of principle, even if the Qiu family comes forward, he will not accept it. Will not back down. He made a mistake that year, and he is determined not to make a second mistake again.

Seeing that Brother Chang still wanted to intercede again, Han Jianming said, "If you dare to keep this child, take that maid and get out of the Han family. I, Han Jianming, have no shortage of sons." With these two things, he knew that Brother Chang was useless.

Brother Chang was petrified, how dare he plead for mercy, he is nothing without the Han family.

When he arrived at the Upper Court, as soon as Han Jianming entered the room, he saw a woman in pink clothes inside. Staring at the woman, Han Jianming asked, "Are you Yingxiang?" He was so busy every day, even though he had met Yingxiang and the other four maids a few times, he couldn't tell them apart.

Qiu twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, and said with a compassionate face: "Ming'er, after all, it's one life, let's keep this child!"

Yingxiang didn't dare to raise her head, she just cried and begged, "Please forgive me, sir." Brother Chang happened to be in the yard when the old woman came to pour the medicine. If Brother Chang hadn't stopped her, she would have already taken the abortion pill by now.

Brother Chang went to plead guilty and asked Yingxiang to come to Qiu Shi. Han Jianming is famous for his filial piety, and Brother Chang thinks that as long as the Qiu family steps forward, the child can be saved.

When Han Jianming heard this, he knew he was right, and immediately shouted to the outside with a cold face: "Come on, drag him out and beat him to death."

As soon as the words were heard, everyone in the room changed color, and Ying Xiang was even more frightened. It wasn't until two women came in outside and grabbed his arms that she realized: "My lord, please spare my life, I beg my lord to spare my life."

Qiu Shi also hurriedly said: "Ming'er, don't commit murder in vain." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and scolded the two women.

The two women did not let go of Yingxiang, but looked at Han Jianming. The old lady should be respected, but the head of the family is the elder. If you offend the old lady, you will be reprimanded at most, but if you offend the old lady, the end will be worrying.

Han Jianming said without changing his expression, "Gag her, drag her out and beat her to death."

Qiu was very annoyed and shouted loudly: "Ming'er, I told you not to commit crimes, don't you even listen to my words?"

Han Jianming really didn't want to follow Qiu's line this time, and said blankly: "Mother, everything else is easy to discuss, and this kind of thing must not be tolerated."

Yingxiang is too late to regret it now, she would have known that she had taken the abortion pill just now. This is nothing more than the child is gone, but now he has to take himself in. Yingxiang cried and said, "Madam, Madam, help me..."

Seeing this, Mother Li hurried forward and covered Yingxiang's mouth with a handkerchief to prevent her from screaming again. The elder is the master of this family, since he decided to take Yingxiang's life, the old lady couldn't stop it. You can't make the old lady and the old man discord because of a welcome.

Seeing Mama Li's behavior, Qiu Shi was so angry that she almost fainted: "Even you want to fight against me?"

Mother Li said: "Old Madam, have you forgotten what happened to Aunt Rong back then? If Yingxiang gave birth to this child, how would the future second-in-law deal with herself?" It was a male fetus, and it was the Mrs. Tai at that time who made her abort the fetus.

These things have been going on for so long that Mama Li had forgotten even if she didn't remind Qiu Shi.

Thinking of the past, Qiu was silent for a while, and then said to Han Jianming: "It's a life after all, just give her medicine and send it out!"

Han Jianming readily agreed this time: "Okay." Sometimes living is more painful than dying.

Han Hao personally brought someone to pour medicine into Yingxiang, and then betrothed her to an old man in his thirties who was too poor to marry a wife. As for what happened to Yingxiang later, no one knew.

Because of Yingxiang, Qiu didn't eat any food that day, and kept chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. As for Brother Chang, he was directly locked up by Han Jianming.

Han Jianming was very annoyed, and said to Mr. Zhao: "No brains." Although this matter is a bit embarrassing, it is not a secret, and it is good for Mr. Zhao to know. The main reason is that Han Jianming didn't want to hold back his illness and wanted to talk to someone about it.

Mr. Zhao has been with Han Jianming for so many years, and he can be regarded as watching Brother Chang grow up: "Master, the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in charge of the house. It is inevitable that there is no mistress in the house." It's okay in Pickaxe City, Lu Xiu took care of everything inside and out. But here in Jiangnan, there is no legitimate person in charge, so it is inevitable that there will be some desires. Coupled with the presence of a bodhisattva like the Qiu family, those maids will become more thoughtful after a long time.

After this incident, Han Jianming also felt that it was time to marry a wife. This way, you don't have to be busy with outside affairs, and you have to take care of these messy things in the mansion.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "Originally, I wanted to arrange a marriage for him in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it seems that it is safer to go back to the city of pick." , it is safer to choose a powerful wife who can handle things for him.

Mr. Zhao said: "My lord, the second lord is the future head of the Han family, and his marriage must be handled with caution. If possible, it is better to ask the princess to take care of me." It must be not bad to get the approval of the princess.

Han Jianming sighed and said, "Let the younger siblings help to see each other first, and then ask the concubine to palm the eyes." It would be great if Brother Hua was the eldest son, and he wouldn't have to be so troubled. Therefore, marrying a wife will not harm three generations. (to be continued)
