Facing the impeachment from his colleagues in the court, Wang Zhong had no other option but to accept it calmly. Emperor Xining was able to remain calm and not only kept Wang Zhong's few letters about salt affairs in his

By not publishing it, all the accusations against Wang Zhong were suppressed.

After all, Wang Zhong had never done anything outrageous or violated the law, and the two tricks he made were helpful for Emperor Xiping to consolidate his power and consolidate his position.

Now that Zhao Zongquan has just succeeded to the throne and entered the court for the first time, it is the time to win over people's hearts and win over the courtiers. However, Emperor Jiayou has been in power for forty years and has implemented benevolent policies. His prestige is very high in both the government and the opposition. Even after leaving Yan

Even though the king rebelled and forced his way to the palace, it still did not affect Emperor Jiayou's prestige in the court.

Although Zhao Zongquan had the merit of King Qin rescuing him, he was just trying to catch up. Moreover, before he became the prince, he was just an unpopular clan. It had been in Yuzhou for many years and had no contact with the same dynasty. All of his relatives were only from Yuzhou.

Otherwise, Zhao Zongquan would not have agreed to invite Empress Dowager Cao to come out a while ago, listen to politics behind the curtain, and even hand over the jade seal to Empress Dowager Cao.

Now that the war in the south has not ended, Zhao Zongquan naturally does not dare to act rashly.

But Zhao Zongquan, who is now the ninth-five-year-old man, does not want to have an emperor sitting on his head all the time. After all, power is the easiest thing to fascinate people. Once it is tainted, even the most timid person will not be able to do it.

It can also breed monstrous ambition. With ambition, your courage will naturally grow.

"Third uncle! I heard that many people in the government and the government have impeached you recently. Why are you still acting as if nothing has happened?"

Looking at Wang Zhong who was leaning on a deck chair in the yard, basking in the sun, holding a peeled orange in his hand and eating happily, Wang Qier, who had just finished practicing her gun, asked curiously while wiping her sweat.

Wang Zhong closed his eyes, ate an orange, and enjoyed the warm sunshine. He said calmly: "If you want to impeach, just impeach. The worst that can happen is that you will be reprimanded and fined some salary. Our family does not rely on those salaries anyway."

"Uncle Third, this is not like your style!" Wang Qier put down the handkerchief, picked up an orange, and started peeling it herself.

These oranges were sent from Jinghu last year. They were treated by Wang Zhong with a special potion and stored in the cellar. They can be stored for several months without going bad.

"What's my style?"

"Don't you often say that it's better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively?" Wang Qier looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Zhong still looked calm and calm: "The dog bit you, don't you have to bite it back?"

Wang Qier said: "Only a fool bites you back, you can't just use a weapon."

"It's a pity that it's not the time to use weapons!" Wang Zhong said: "Besides, it's just some incompetent barking. If the officials really want to deal with me, do you think I can still lie down like this?

Let's bask in the sun here and practice shooting with you?"

"That's true!" Wang Qier nodded.

Wang Qian'er's eyes suddenly lit up, she approached Wang Zhong with a gossipy face, and asked in a low voice: "Third uncle, when will you and third aunt give birth to some younger brothers and sisters for me!"

Wang Zhong finally opened his eyes that had been closed, but only half-opened, and only one eye, "What, you want to help me and your third aunt take care of the child?"

"Of course!" Wang Qian'er said: "Our family is now very thin, and Brother Xu is young and hasn't gotten married yet. Third uncle, you have to hurry up! Let's carry on the family lineage for our old Wang family.

The heavy responsibility of the branches and leaves rests on your shoulders."

"If you have time to tease me, why not pay more attention to your third aunt!" Wang Zhong closed his eyes again.

"Concerned about Third Aunt?" Wang Qier asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Third Aunt?"

"You can find out if you ask her yourself!"

After burning the incense, the entire Princess Mansion became lively. When she heard that Minglan was pregnant, Wang Qianer, who was about to have a younger brother or sister, happily waved her hands, and everyone in the family rewarded them with money.

consistent.

This bold and generous handwriting is very different from Princess Yong'an who always flaunts her diligence and frugality.

The next day, Wang Zhong took Minglan back to Sheng's house and asked Minglan to tell Mrs. Sheng the good news in person.

Mrs. Sheng was very excited. She grabbed Minglan's hand and asked, "How long has it been?"

"It's been almost a month!" Minglan said a little shyly. After all, this was her first time being pregnant.

Mrs. Sheng hurriedly warned: "The first three months and the last three months of this woman's pregnancy are the most dangerous. Especially since this is your first pregnancy and you are inexperienced, you have to be careful..."

By the way, your little wife doesn’t know the news yet, does she?”

Minglan shook her head and said, "I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Mrs. Sheng smiled and patted Minglan's hand and said, "If she knew the news, she would be extremely happy!"

"By the way, have you felt uncomfortable in any way in the past few days? Have you ever felt nauseous or nauseated?" Mrs. Sheng asked with concern.

Minglan shook her head: "It's no different than usual. If the officials hadn't said something was wrong with me and checked my pulse, I wouldn't have known I had it!"

Wang Zhong, who was next to him, also smiled and said: "I saw that Minglan has been a little depressed these days, a little lethargic, and her complexion is different from usual, so I thought about taking her pulse to try, but to my surprise, it happened.

"

By the way, I explained to Mrs. Sheng again: "Nausea and nausea are just a sign that a woman is pregnant, but they are not absolute."

"You have superb medical skills, so you have to take good care of Dian Ming'er on weekdays!" Mrs. Sheng nodded, not forgetting to warn Wang Zhongdao.

"This is natural!" Wang Zhong said: "I even pointed at Minglan to bear children for me!"

"By the way, I have to tell your little girl this good news quickly, so that she can be happy too!"

As she said this, Old Mrs. Sheng asked Aunt Fang to send someone to invite Wei Shuyi and Changdong to come over.

Wei Shuyi is a concubine in the family. She visits Wang Ruofu on weekdays and does not often come to Shou'an Hall. She only occasionally comes with Wang Ruofu to pay her respects to Mrs. Sheng.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a while, Wei Shuyi and Changdong arrived.

After the ceremony, when the old lady told Minglan that she was pregnant, Wei Shuyi's eyes lit up and she looked at Minglan with surprise: "Are you pregnant tomorrow?"

Seeing Minglan nodding in person, Wei Shu subconsciously asked about the month. Knowing that it was only one month, he first asked Minglan's health with concern, and then told Minglan to pay attention to this, pay attention to that, what can be done, what can't be done, crackling Yes, it is very different from her usual cautious behavior at home.

Not long after, Sheng Hong also came back. Hearing that Wang Zhong and Minglan had come to Shou'antang, he also followed them and found out that Minglan was pregnant. He was also very happy.

After a while, Wang Zhong was dragged outside to prepare for the husband and son-in-law to have a drink and celebrate.

While changing glasses, Sheng Hong drank a few too many glasses without realizing it. He was so drunk that his face turned red.

"I heard from my grandmother that my sister-in-law took Brother Shi to Haozhou to look for Zecheng two days ago?"

"Bai'er and your sister-in-law have only been married for a few years, and they only have one child, Brother Shi, and the Hai family has strict family discipline. If your sister-in-law comes here earlier, they can have a few more children to help the Sheng family. !”

According to the Hai family's motto, no matter whether it is a nephew or a son-in-law of the Hai family, the principal wife can only take a concubine if she has not produced anything for seven years.

The Hai family is from a clean family, with a scholarly world, many generations of officials, three jinshi in the same family, and a strict family tradition. The rules are clearly there. The men of the Hai family naturally have no worries about marrying, but the daughters of the Hai family have some trouble getting married. trouble.

Therefore, those who are married to the Hai family are also from the same scholarly family and strict rules as the Hai family.

"My father-in-law seems to have something on his mind?" Wang Zhong put down his wine cup, looked at Sheng Hong, and changed his tone.

"Hey!" Sheng Hong, who was drunk, also spoke out what was in his heart: "It's not that bastard Chang Feng! He had several quarrels at home because of his wife's affairs, and they clamored to take his wife back from the village. "

"Didn't my father-in-law tell Brother Changfeng the truth about the matter?" Wang Zhong asked.

Sheng Hong sighed again: "As a father, how can I say this kind of thing!"

I want a father to tell his son: Your biological mother encouraged your sister to have an affair with someone else, and even created a child. She even spread rumors outside and used the reputation of the Sheng family to blackmail the whole family to help facilitate your sister and Yongchang. The marriage of Liu Lang of the Hou Liang family.

Sheng Hong didn't know what others were like, but he couldn't tell.

"Paper can't cover up the fire. Brother Changfeng will know it one day! Although Brother Changfeng is indeed a bit dissolute on weekdays, his nature is not bad. If he knows the cause and effect of this matter, he can understand his father-in-law. grown ups."

"I'm afraid of breaking his heart!" Sheng Hong looked at the wine cup in his hand with drunken eyes. Just after he finished sighing, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"If my father-in-law doesn't mind, how about letting my son-in-law handle this matter?" Wang Zhong took the initiative to recommend himself.

"Hey!" Sheng Hong didn't answer. He poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Zhong carried a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes and went straight to Chang Feng's yard.

"Wang...sixth brother-in-law?" Chang Feng was quite happy to see Wang Zhong's arrival.

"You're not disturbing Brother Changfeng's rest, are you?" Changfeng has been at odds with Sheng Hong in recent days. In addition, he failed the exam again and is feeling depressed. He is also confined at home and is not allowed to go out to eat and drink and mess around. There is also the matter of his own little mother, which is holding him back. Bend!

"No, no! It's too late for me to be happy that my sixth brother-in-law is here, please come inside quickly!" Chang Feng enthusiastically pulled Wang Zhong into the house, especially when he saw that Wang Zhong had brought wine and food, he became even more enthusiastic.

After some pleasantries, I heard Chang Feng pouring out a lot of bitterness, most of which were due to the fact that he was not recognized for his talents, and it is rare for a thousand-mile horse to meet a bole, and the examiner did not have a pair of discerning eyes, so he could not recognize this dusty pearl.

Wang Zhong also comforted him a few words, but I don't know if he listened.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Zhong also changed the topic: "I heard that brother Changfeng and his father-in-law had some unpleasantness recently?"

"Sixth brother-in-law, you don't know, my little mother..." Chang Feng was interrupted by Wang Zhong before he could finish his words.

"I know!"

Chang Feng was stunned by what Wang Zhong said, and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "You know?"

"I know that Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city and was imprisoned! I also know why Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi and imprisoned. But, does Brother Changfeng know the reason?"

Chang Feng looked stern. In fact, he already had a guess in his mind. He just didn't dare to be sure or believe it. He could only look at Wang Zhong and asked with a serious expression: "I asked my father, but he refused. Tell me why."

"Hey!" Wang Zhong sighed, "I can't blame my father-in-law for this matter. It's really... it's really... hard to talk about!"

Chang Feng's face changed, becoming more and more ugly, but he also wanted to know the answer more and more: "What is the reason?"

"Lin Xiaoniang encouraged her fourth aunt to have an affair with Liang Liulang. Before they got married, her fourth aunt was already more than two months pregnant. However, Miss Lin and her fourth aunt's plan did not work out. Then Liang Liulang was unable to make decisions, and Mrs. Wu looked down upon her fourth aunt, and even banned Liang Liulang at home, forbidding him from interacting with her fourth aunt anymore.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoniang specially asked her fourth aunt to pretend to fall down when she went to Sanqing Temple to offer incense, and asked Liang Liulang, who had sneaked out from home, to carry her from Sanqing Temple to the carriage outside. The story spread and it was said that the two were behaving in an ambiguous and unusual manner, and they did not hesitate to use this to force the father-in-law, mother-in-law and the old lady, just to let the fourth aunt marry into the Liang family."

After hearing this, Chang Feng had a look of shock on his face. He stood up and staggered back a few steps, shaking his head and saying: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for my mother and sister to do such a thing!"

Chang Feng originally thought that his daughter had made some other mistake, but she never imagined that the truth would be like this.
