Chapter 63: Heirs
The ancient trees on the top of the mountain are verdant, although it is the summer weather, but the river breeze blows, and people live in the Zen courtyard shrouded in the shade of the trees, as if they are in the cool autumn season.
Xiao Man didn't care about any manners, and fell into Su Mei's arms, his goose-yellow clothes were wet with tears, and he couldn't make a sound when he choked, and he almost fainted.
Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Fourth Lady Feng Peipei, Zhou Blind and other old departments of Jingbei Hou, looking at the scene in front of them, thinking of the many robes and relatives who have died over the years, they can't help but cry.
Liu Yue'er was soft-hearted, she really couldn't see the miserable things in the world, her tears wiped stubble after stubble, her eyelids were rubbed red, she pulled the placket of Lin Bin's clothes, and asked softly: "There is a villa in the north of the mountain, which is very quiet and elegant, I will sort it out for Miss Su to live in, and it can be regarded as a home in Chongzhou......"
"Just stay in Chongzhou for two days, I have to go back to Jiangning, don't be so troublesome." Su Mei said.
"What are you going to do back to Jiangning?" Liu Yue'er asked puzzledly, "It's not easy to endure so much hardship over the years, the clan family agrees that you come to Chongzhou, will they still hold on to your people?" What conditions did the clan put forward on their side, so that Lin Jian would agree to them. Uncle Mengde allocates 100,000 yuan to the inner house every month, and the house can't use so much, let alone save 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and it is always enough to redeem you. ”
"Over the years, I have been thinking that Xiaoman and the girls of the Su family can have a good home, and if I leave them in Chongzhou, I don't have anything else to worry about," Su Mei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said to Liu Yue'er, "If I stay in Chongzhou, Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army will be dragged into the Qiuye Prison Conspiracy and Rebellion Case and will not be able to get out; Once my identity is revealed, the imperial court will most likely not tolerate the existence of the Jiangdong Left Army. Now no one can figure out what Yuan Guizheng is thinking, he can't take this risk, and there is some use for me to stay in Jiangning......"
Su Mei is a very assertive person, Lin Jian didn't plan to persuade her anything, he held Liu Yue'er's hand and patted it gently, the matter is still quite tricky, the truth behind the scenes of the Qiu Ye Supervisor Rebellion case involves the orthodoxy of the Jin Dynasty's family to inherit the throne, and involving the Qiu Ye Supervisor Rebellion case, it means a cruel and bloody imperial struggle, Jiangdong Left Army is indeed not suitable to be directly involved in the imperial power struggle, and said: "Su Mei and Xiaoman's sisters recognize each other, it is a great joy, don't think about anything else today......
"I can't bear to let my sister leave again," the little man cried, "why can't you stay?" ”
"The clan family also restricts me from leaving Jiangning, and it is convenient to go from Jiangning to Chongzhou," Su Mei hugged Xiaoman in his arms and comforted her, "I will often come to Chongzhou in the future to see you are ......" and whispered in her ear, "When you leave the pavilion, I will come to Chongzhou to stay for a while." ”
Xiaoman was embarrassed to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked up at his sister, and wanted to ask her why she didn't take this opportunity to marry Lin Lian, the bastard, but everyone was in the room, so she was embarrassed to ask.
Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu and others sighed, patted Fu Qinghe's left arm on the empty shoulder, and sighed: "In recent years, you have suffered the resentment of so many people in vain - Dong Manzi, Chen Li, and a few of them were also scolding you when they were dying, and today they are going to burn a stack of yellow paper so that they will know all the hardships and grievances you have suffered over the years under Jiuquan......"
Fu Qinghe was open-minded and said: "What is not bitter, it is not easy to have today's situation. It seems that there is no chance of overturning the case at the moment, but the world is unpredictable, and maybe we can see the opportunity for the truth to be revealed before we close our eyes and go to the ground...... Maybe when the time comes, the truth won't matter anymore. ”
Qin Chengzu nodded, it was the autumn of eventful separation, and the Yuan dynasty was also in danger, although many things were based on the people's livelihood, but they would not be martyred for this decadent dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty collapsed and was destroyed, and the case of Qiu Ye's conspiracy against him was naturally no longer an obscure taboo.
Lin Lian and Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe, and Cao Ziang retreated first, so that Su Mei and Xiaoman could get together more, if Su Mei and the old prince Zeng Mingxin didn't say anything, no one would have thought that Xiaoman would also be the queen of Jingbei Hou Su Hu.
Walking into the ancient verdant courtyard, Fu Qinghe asked the others to go down the mountain first, and asked Qin Chengzu and Cao Ziang to stay and talk to Lin Lian, and he said to Lin Jian seriously: "Xiaoman is the queen of Sumen, and I also hid it from Miss until today." We are all old members of the Su family, and we have no other luxuries, I just hope that the adults can pass on a son to the Su family in the future......"
In this world, no matter how Lin Jian treats Yue'er and Xiaoman equally, when it comes to clan inheritance, the status of wives and concubines, wives and concubines and children has always been worlds apart. After September, Gu Junxun will officially marry Chongzhou, and she is the wife of Ming Media. In this world, there is no restriction on men marrying concubines, and there can be a large group of girls who warm the bed, but there can only be one wife's room.
It is impossible for people in this era not to value the continuation of the incense, Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang and others are all the old department of the Su family, so it is natural to find a way to make the incense of the Su family continue. Either find a son-in-law for Su Mei or Xiaoman to inherit the lineage, or choose an heir born to Su Mei or Xiaoman to inherit to the Su family.
Fu Qinghe solemnly mentioned this matter, and Lin Jian could understand it. He wouldn't pretend to say that he would help Xiaoman find someone who was in the right place to come over and renew the incense to the Su family, he was reluctant to leave the eccentric elf Xiaoman from him; Su Mei is more independent than the vast majority of women in this era, and even if she has affection, she is still determined to return to Jiangning, and it is not clear what decision she will make in the future.
Thinking about Fu Qinghe, they also recognized that Su Mei and Xiaoman's sisters were all concubines for Lin Lian, so they mentioned the matter of inheriting the sect.
But at this time, it was too early to mention this matter, Lin Jian also wanted to discuss with Fu Qinghe and them that the three girls of the Su family would be adopted by Cao Ziang and other families with families, and they would have a good background and marry a good family in the future, but Fu Qinghe suddenly mentioned this matter, and asked suspiciously: "I can understand the feelings of Uncle Fu, Mr. Qin and Ziang for the sake of the Su family, but is it too early to mention this matter now?" ”
"It's not early," Fu Qinghe asked in surprise, "Isn't Miss Yue'er still in time to tell you about it?" ”
"What do Yue'er want to tell me?" Lin Jian was even more puzzled, it had only been half a day since they came back from Jiangning, and they had been patronizing to see Su Mei recognize Xiaoman and the old Su family, and they didn't ask Yue'er what special things had happened?
"Then it's inconvenient for me to say it first," Fu Qinghe laughed, "I don't know if the news released by Mr. Wu is accurate." ”
"What kind of wind can Mr. Wu let go out of there?" Lin Jian scratched his forehead.
Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu and the others refused to say much, but smiled and retired down the mountain first.
Fu Qinghe was confused by half of the words, Lin Jian sent Fu Qinghe and them down, he walked back to the courtyard, the fourth lady Feng Peipei also went to the other courtyard with Sun Wenwan to rest, Xiaoman refreshed up, sat there with Su Mei and Liu Yue'er and talked, Lin Lian asked Liu Yue'er: "I've been back for most of the day, what are you hiding from me, so that everyone else knows, but I'm in the dark?" ”
"Ah," Liu Yue'er suddenly blushed when she heard Lin Lian ask about this, and said, "I don't know if it's true, two or three days after you went to Jiangning, I felt weak and couldn't eat...... You've only been back for a long time, so how can I tell you about this? ”
The slippery pulse is the happy pulse, no wonder Fu Qinghe and a few of them sneakily refused to reveal a little wind and went down the mountain first, this is really a great joy; It's no wonder that Fu Qinghe couldn't help mentioning the matter of succession at this time.
"Seriously!" Lin Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed, he couldn't help but reach out and grab Liu Yue'er's wrist pulse to listen to the slippery pulse, but with his three-clawed cat's cutting skills, where could he distinguish the slippery pulse? only asked Liu Yue'er, "How many days have it been since your last menstrual affair was interrupted to today?" ”
"What are you doing with your boy's question?" Liu Yue'er became shy, refusing to ask Lin Jian such a private question in front of Su Mei and Xiaoman.
"Mr. Wu is not sure about the pulse, how can he let the wind out first? This is really a great joy," Su Mei heard that Liu Yue'er was pregnant, and she was also happy for Lin Yue'er, so she took off a silver bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Liu Yue'er, "Su Mei congratulated my sister here, this silver bracelet has been with me since before I was sentenced to be the head of the teaching workshop, and it is a meeting gift for the unborn little son......"
has a bloodline inheritance, as if he really integrates into this world, Lin Jian was also confused for a while, just smirked happily, and didn't know what to do for a while to express his excitement.
"You do your thing, staying here is still in the way of our sisters' talk......" Liu Yue'er shyly pushed Lin Lian and asked him to go busy with his official business, "The courtyard in Beishan, I think it will be specially sorted out, no matter whether Miss Su is in Chongzhou or not, that courtyard will be kept for Miss Su, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you for everything," Lin Jian agreed, "I want Aunt Zhao to help prepare to ......" and didn't let Su Mei refuse, so he walked out first.
There are still a few empty courtyards on the top of the mountain, but it is inconvenient for Su Mei to live with Lin Lian.
There are two miles of road separated from Beishan Gate by Beishan Courtyard, it is a separate industry that the former Zhixian repaired at the northern foot of Zilang Mountain, the courtyard is not big, but the stone bridge of Qushui and the hidden path of Meilin are very quiet and elegant.
The courtyard was originally to be reserved for the orphans and widows of the Lin family to live in, but the eight orphans and widows, plus a large group of waiting maids, mothers-in-law and servants, all lived in the Beishan Courtyard and it was a little cramped, so the Lin family's orphans and widows were rearranged to live in the eastern foothills, and the Beishan Courtyard was empty.
Everything in Chongzhou City is abandoned, everything is waiting to be prospered, and Beishan Villa is a good private home on the outskirts of Chongzhou, which is also suitable for Su Mei to live in when he comes to Chongzhou.
