Chapter 1112 Responsibility (2)

Snowflakes, flying all over the sky like dandelions, finally fell to the ground.

Brother Zheng followed his wife to a pavilion in the garden of the British government.

At the corner, the mother-in-law stood still and did not go any further, she said to Brother Zheng, "Master Jiang, the girl is waiting for you in front." When Yu Rong heard that Cui Qianqian wanted to see Brother Zheng, she immediately agreed . It's not good for anyone if this matter is deadlocked, and the Chinese New Year will not be stable if it is not resolved. Besides, Brother Zheng is going to take the examination in March, so there is really no delay.

From a distance, Brother Zheng saw Cui Qianqian standing in the pavilion. He was wearing a white silk jacket with a plain face, a squirrel skin beanie, and a moonlight skirt. Combing a crescent moon bun, only a pearl hairpin is inserted on the head. She had a plain face, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was extremely haggard.

Brother Zheng felt distressed and guilty at the same time, he stopped at the entrance of the pavilion and said, "Qianqian, I, I'm sorry."

When Cui Qianqian heard this, her heart sank to the bottom immediately, and her voice became louder: "I'm sorry? What are you sorry for?"

Being locked up in the yard by Yu Rong for the past few days, Brother Zheng thought a lot: "I'm really sorry for making you sad because of my fault."

It turned out that she was apologizing for this. She thought Brother Zheng had already decided to accept Yan Xinrou as his concubine, so she said sorry. Cui Qianqian asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with this matter? I heard that the Yan family said they want you to marry Yan Xinrou."

Brother Zheng shook his head and said, "I've already told Aunt Ling that I won't marry a girl from the Yan family."

Cui Qianqian asked with a wry smile: "But I heard that your mother wants you to take Yan Xinrou as a concubine." If the Second Mrs. Jiang hadn't thought about it, she would have rejected the Yan family long ago, and she wouldn't have dragged the matter until now.

Brother Zheng didn't lie: "My mother is also afraid that people from the Yan family will cause trouble and damage my reputation, which will hinder my official career in the future! So..."

Before coming here, Yurong asked Brother Zheng to explain to Cui Qianqian that Yan Xinrou's admission was just a show. Yurong's idea is very simple, as long as Cui Qianqian is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, then the marriage will not be withdrawn.

Cui Qianqian was not surprised by this, but he looked at Brother Zheng and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Brother Zheng quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't agree. Qianqian, I've already told my mother and Aunt Ling that I won't accept Miss Yan as my concubine."

Cui Qianqian did not relax because of this, but continued to ask: "What if your mother forces you?"

Jiang Yizheng said: "My mother wants me to accept a girl from the Yan family because she is afraid that my reputation will be damaged and my future career will be affected."

This is a fact, so Cui Qianqian didn't feel that Yurong's idea was wrong. After all, the position is different, if it were her, she would definitely put her son's interests first.

Cui Qianqian asked: "Aren't you afraid that this will affect your official career?"

"I'm afraid. But I made the mistake, no matter what the consequences are, I deserve it." After a pause, Brother Zheng looked at Cui Qianqian and said, "I just want to wrong you."

Hearing this sentence, Cui Qianqian felt that she had stepped from the cold winter months into the spring of March.

Taking a long breath, Cui Qianqian said, "Aren't you afraid that you have no future, and I won't marry you?" When she said this, the corners of Cui Qianqian's mouth rose.

Brother Zheng said firmly: "I know, you won't." If Cui Qianqian valued power and wealth, he would not have chosen him.

Being so affirmed by her sweetheart, Cui Qianqian is as sweet as drinking honey. But soon, she calmed down again: "What about the girl from the Yan family? If you don't agree, the Yan family will not let it go."

Brother Zheng said: "I won't compromise. If they want to make trouble, let's make trouble. Anyway, I'm not the one who loses face in the end." Even if the Yan family makes trouble, it will only affect his official career, not that he can't Become an official. It's just because of this matter that he may stop at the third rank in the future. With a flawed reputation, it is impossible to even think about getting out of the court.

Cui Qianqian threw out what Lianwu said before: "What if Yan Xinrou threatens to die?"

Brother Zheng was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this. After all, you are young, and you think the problem is too simple.

Cui Qianqian asked: "If Yan Xinrou died,

Will you feel guilty about it for the rest of your life? "

Brother Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will feel guilty, but it's not my fault. If you want to blame, you can blame why she did that day."

Only now did Cui Qianqian really feel relieved: "You are right, this is not your fault. However, if such a thing can be avoided, let's not let it happen!" She didn't care whether Yan Xinrou was dead or alive, but She has to think for herself. She didn't want Yan Xinrou to affect her relationship with Brother Zheng.

Brother Zheng asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"As long as the conditions put forward by the Yan family are within your tolerance, you can agree." To get real benefits is better than letting Yan Xinrou give Brother Zheng a concubine.

Brother Zheng asked hesitantly, "Is it useful?"

Cui Qianqian said with a smile: "Have you heard about Liu Yi?" Seeing brother Zheng's bewildered expression, Cui Qianqian said: "Liu Yi has a reputation as a piano fairy in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is said that she is also good-looking. Ruo Tianxian. With her superb piano skills, she fascinated the emperor's mind."

Brother Zheng had heard that the Liu family, who had the reputation of being a qin fairy, almost seduced the emperor, but it was a pity that he failed. As for the other party's name, he did not know.

Cui Qianqian continued: "Ms. Liu tried to seduce the emperor, and hanged herself after returning home. After the eldest princess found out, she broke into Liu's mansion and threw a dagger to Mrs. Liu, telling her to finish it on the spot. Mrs. Liu did not die, but this matter was The entire Jiangnan was shocked. Some officials in the court impeached the eldest princess for her tyrannical behavior, but she was reprimanded by the queen, and no one dared to mention it after that."

Brother Zheng probably understood what Cui Qianqian said about this, and asked, "You mean that even if Yan Xinrou really seeks short-sightedness, it won't affect my official career."

Cui Qianqian nodded and said, "Yes, even if Yan Xinrou committed suicide, it will not affect your career. So, you don't need to be afraid of the Yan family." The matter of the eldest princess forcing Liu Yi to commit suicide was not dared to be mentioned in public, but privately There will still be criticism below. However, Zao Zao has the support of the emperor and queen, so she is not afraid of these criticisms. But Brother Zheng started his official career, and his reputation was still very important.

"I see." This trip really came at the right time.

The two talked for a long time, and it was Mung Dou who came to say that Mrs. Chang had something to do with her, so they separated.

Seeing the smile on Cui Qianqian's face, Chang asked, "Jiang Yizheng disagrees with accepting Yan Xinrou as a concubine?" If he agreed, Cui Qianqian would not be able to laugh.

Cui Qianqian nodded: "Well, he had already told Grandma Ling that he would not accept Yan Xinrou as a concubine." It's just that everyone ignored Brother Zheng's attitude.

Lian Wu said: "How many of these men don't want to be hugged left and right. This can only deceive you." Although Cui Qianqian is smart, she has no deep experience in the world.

Chang glanced at Lianwu, but didn't say anything. Ding Sanyang hurt his daughter too much. Although he is divorced now, it leaves a deep shadow.

Cui Qianqian was not angry either, but said: "I believe in him. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I believe that he is sincere to me now. As for the future, we will talk about it later. If he really changes in the future, don't worry about it. Raising children."

Seeing that Lianwu was about to talk again, Cui Qianqian said, "Sister Lianwu, I know you are doing it for my own good. But now that you are retiring from the marriage, it will look good at the beginning if you look for it again, but who can guarantee that he will always treat me well, forever No change?" If Jiang took Yan Xinrou as his concubine, she would not regret the divorce. Now Jiang Yizheng made it clear that he didn't want to take a concubine, so she withdrew because of trouble. Then don't marry at all, stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of your life.

Mrs. Chang sighed inwardly, and asked Cui Qianqian: "Then how to solve the matter of the Yan family?"

"Give them some compensation. If you don't want to, you can make trouble if you want. We really think we are afraid that they will fail." If you have scruples, the other party will push forward. With no scruples, the other party naturally backed down.

Mrs. Chang nodded, and said with a smile: "That's the reason. What kind of lady from a scholarly family is really capable of doing such lowly things!" deal with. It's just that Han Yurong's behavior made her disagree, so she wanted to withdraw the marriage.

After a few more words, Cui Qianqian said: "Auntie, my mother should be here in a few days. I want to go back to Cui's house and see if the yard is cleaned." Tong is waiting for his daughter-in-law Tang to finish confinement , just set off for Beijing. When Tong's family arrives in Beijing, she will definitely go back to Cui's house to live.

Chang's naturally wouldn't stop her.

After leaving Feng's house, Mung Dou said, "Girl, aunt..."

Cui Qianqian glared at Mung Dou: "What about Sister Lianwu, you can't deal with it." Although she felt that Lianwu was too worried, she could understand her experience. However, she cannot hold back because she is afraid that her husband will take a concubine in the future. As the princess said, if you don’t dare to do anything, you don’t know what the future will be like. Even if you don’t do well, you won’t regret it, and you won’t regret it.

Mung Dou didn't dare to say anything, but she was glad that she didn't have to live in Feng's house when his wife came back. Otherwise, this marriage will be slandered by the aunt every day, and my daughter will always be affected.

Seeing Brother Zheng, Yurong asked nervously, "What did Miss Cui say? Did she agree?"

Brother Zheng shook his head and said, "Mother, I told her that I would not take Miss Yan as my concubine."

Yurong became anxious: "You child, what did mother tell you before you left?" You couldn't even say a word, even if you wanted to go back on your word, you wouldn't be able to, unless you wanted to make enemies with the Cui family.

"Mother, I said before that I would not accept a girl from the Yan family as a concubine. Mother, if I do this, where will I put Qianqian?" Taking a concubine before marriage is not a rule in any family.

Before Yurong could speak, Brother Zheng said again: "Mother, I don't want to divorce. Qianqian is a good girl, I don't want to lose her." Because I like her, I don't want to lose her.

Yurong was stunned for a moment, then turned to say with red eyes: "But what about the Yan family? If you don't agree to their conditions, they won't let it go. Zheng'er, isn't your future as important as your children's relationship? "She would rather retire than cut off her son's official career.

"Mother, this matter is actually complicated by our own thinking. This matter is not difficult to solve." Under the watchful eyes of Yu Rong and Mr. Gao, Brother Zheng said: "Mother, the empress is not a stubborn On the contrary, she is a very enlightened person. This is not my fault, even if she knows, it will not affect my future. "

Yurong reacted quickly, and said, "Did Qianqian say something?"

Brother Zheng nodded, and immediately said about Liu Yi.

Mr. Gao asked after listening: "Is this true?" Hearing Brother Zheng said it was absolutely true, Mr. Gao said: "If it is true, then Brother Zheng will not give Yan Xinrou a title, and it will affect his official career. It’s okay.” The preferences of the superiors have a great influence on the subordinates. For example, Emperor Guangzong of the Zhou Dynasty doted on his concubines and killed his wives, which caused many officials below to dote on their concubines and kill their wives. And like the current dynasty, because the queen hated the concubine's room and always protected the interests of the main room, none of the officials below dared to let the concubine's room climb over the main room. Otherwise, once the imperial censor is impeached, the black hat will be gone.

Yurong is still uneasy: "After all, reputation is in the way!"

"The thing has already happened, and it is impossible to get out of it." After finishing speaking, Mr. Gao looked at Yurong and said, "Madam, marrying a wife and a virtuous person, such a smart girl must not be missed." So this marriage Never return.

Yurong also doesn't want to withdraw, otherwise she wouldn't be so entangled: "What about the Yan family? If the Yan family came to make trouble, what should we do?"

Brother Zheng said calmly: "Mother, if we can meet the conditions they put forward, we will agree. If they talk loudly, then they will make trouble if they want to. Of course, I will not be good if there is a big trouble, but it will hurt the Yan family. Bigger."

Mr. Gao said to Yurong: "Madam, just do as Brother Zheng wants you to do."

Yu Rong said worriedly: "What if Master Ling thinks Brother Zheng is not a responsible person?"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng said: "Mother, there is only one person I am responsible for from the beginning to the end, and that is Qianqian. Mother, I will tell the teacher in person. If the teacher wants to blame, there is nothing I can do. "

"Ling Kaile has nothing to do with this matter. If there is a trouble, the Ling family has something to do with it. Master Ling is a sensible person, and he will not let this matter become a big deal." Before that, he wanted to have the best of both worlds. Since it can't be done now, it is natural to try to pick myself out as much as possible.

When the Yan family and Grandma Ling saw Yu Rong's tough attitude, they immediately started a quarrel at the Ling family. In the end, Ling Tongpu came forward and asked Yurong to pay three thousand taels of silver for Yan Xinrou's dowry, so let's forget about it.

After struggling for so long, I didn't expect it to be solved so easily in the end. Yurong felt a little unbelievable.

Leaning on the chair, Yurong asked Honghua to pinch her shoulders. She was really tired and heartbroken during this time.

While pinching her shoulders, Hong Hua said, "Ma'am, isn't this girl from the Cui family a bit too powerful?" What she originally thought was difficult to solve, she settled it with just a few words.

Thinking of what Brother Zheng said, Yu Rong felt very sad, feeling that her son was about to be separated. But I thought so in my heart, but it didn't show on my face: "Strong is better than soft!"

ps: more will be added tomorrow.
