On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Mrs. Grandson of the British Duke gave birth to a son. Because there were elders in the family having to attend weddings, we could not hold wedding ceremonies on the third day of the lunar month or on the full moon afterward. However, people with whom we were in contact still had normal ceremonies.

The female family members who are closer to me also come to visit normally.

Everyone had seen Mrs. Shisun's condition during the condolence ceremony, and when they heard that she was giving birth at this time, they all knew that the crying caused the fetal gas to move. When they came to visit, they saw the pale-faced Mrs. Shisun, and the baby was like a kitten.

Everyone who didn't know the dangers involved spread the word that Mrs. Shisun was extremely filial to her grandmother, and she kept vigil for her without caring about her own health.

Therefore, the second wife's words about "evil moon is unlucky for giving birth to a child" were suppressed by Mrs. Shisun's filial remarks before spreading. This made the second wife feel sulky for a long time, secretly cursing the damned immortality.

In fact, Youshi is really lucky.

Acupuncture and moxibustion also failed to completely reverse the fetal position. The two invited Wenmai had privately discussed going to the host's house to ask the caregiver to protect the child. They were afraid that two people would be killed and they would not be able to get out of this place.

The Duke's Mansion.

Guizhi's mother originally used Ge Laofu as a talisman, but now her pressure is doubled because of this "talisman".

The two stable ladies would have died alone, but Guizhi's mother was still carrying the reputation of two houses and the lives of her family of three. She was neither of the two nobles, the older one and the younger one.

If you dare to give up, you can only grit your teeth and use all the tricks you used in the past. You can try to use acupuncture to push with your hands, and even reach into the birth canal to help the baby turn around.

Fortunately, You's vomiting continued throughout her pregnancy. Although she tried her best to eat more to ensure the child's nutrition, her poor appetite and the hard work of the housekeeper still affected the child. The child was relatively thin and small.

It saves some effort during production.

You's character is very tenacious. With Mrs. Wu Jingbo in charge and Yang Ge's mother coming to help deliver the baby, she became energetic and cooperated very well with Guizhi's mother's actions. She was not squeamish as a noblewoman, so she finally won the battle.

After passing through Yama, both mother and child will be safe.

However, in the end, the labor was too much and the birth canal was damaged. She was on the verge of collapse. It was all thanks to Guizhi's mother who used silver needles to save her under the guidance of the imperial physician. Later, Yang Tian also responded to the British government's request and left Guizhi's mother to help Mrs. Shisun nurse her back to health.

Body.

Mrs. Shisun's most filial cry inspired her fetus to be spread, but the British government did not want outsiders to know the inside story. The imperial doctor and the two stable wives were paid to keep the secret, and they did not dare to offend the British government.

Yang Tian didn't want to publicize Guizhi's mother's craftsmanship, lest irrelevant people come to ask for her in the future. It would be troublesome to refuse or not, so she kept silent.

However, the British Duke's Mansion, You Consort's Mansion and even Wu Jingbo's Mansion privately sent generous gifts to Yang's Mansion and Shen's Mansion to thank Yang Tian for his good deeds. Of course, they also expressed their goodwill to Yang Tinghe, the old man of Xinge.

When Aunt You's family gave birth to her son, the biological mother's status as a concubine did not allow her to enter the British palace. Although the consort Youtai was the father, he was still a man, so he was not allowed to enter the inner house of another family.

On the third day of the bath, Prince Consort You came to the house in person and invited Mrs. Wu Jingbo to talk with the British Duke Zhang Mao for a long time.

Zhang Mao is an old man, and he doesn't know the undercurrents in his family. But as Zhang Lun expected, he can be infinitely kind to his grandson, but he will not strangle his sons to death for his grandson. Furthermore, he actually hopes to create a healthy competition in the family.

.

The title in the family was earned by the ancestors who sacrificed their lives with swords and guns. If the descendants only focus on the glory and wealth brought by this title and do not think about making progress, the decline of the family will be around the corner.

If you are ambitious, don't be afraid. If you want to win this title, you should use your skills to make a career. If you can stand up to the title of "British Duke", you will not disgrace the name of your ancestors!

The reason why he asked for the title of grandson for his eldest grandson after the death of his legitimate son was, in a larger context, because Emperor Hongzhi valued his legitimate eldest son. As a close minister, he naturally had to cater to the emperor and uphold this rule. In his own small environment, he

This is also to encourage the second son and eldest grandson to make progress.

If the second son really makes progress and achieves meritorious deeds in the future, he will still be able to establish himself in the court even if he does not have this title.

And with a young and powerful uncle by his side, the eldest grandson will strive to make progress even if his own uncle can't hold him back. How can he fight against many outsiders in the court? Even with this title, he can't maintain his power and dignity.

They are each other's whetstone.

This was the hard work of the parents, and before Xu Xian's wife passed away, Zhang Mao had always thought that this trick was really good. The second son was Yin Feng's Jinyiwei Baihu, and he could climb to the position of Qianhu by his own ability; while the eldest son, the two elders,

indivual

The younger grandson surprised him even more. The eldest grandson entered the Fenwu Camp without any problems and was praised repeatedly. The second grandson shined brightly. He followed His Majesty in the East Palace and now he is in charge of the Jingwei martial arts and is one of the top employees around the young emperor.

.

Like most men at this time, he did not pay attention to the affairs of the inner house, and his first wife and step-wife also took good care of the inner house, and nothing happened to him.

When the turmoil of his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law giving birth was revealed to him, Zhang Mao was still in disbelief, and then he became angry. He had seven sons and three daughters, and his family had never experienced the evil things outside that were intended to murder his children. Anyone who had the guts would go out and fight.

He would never allow someone to fight outside and end up harming his family at home.

However, it is easy to waste a daughter-in-law, but he is reluctant to waste a son, especially a son with a good future. He is not sure whether his daughter-in-law's behavior has his son's tacit approval.

When there were only Zhang Mao and his second son Zhang Gang in the study, Zhang Gang looked shocked. He first considered and said that the eldest room was full of children and there were no elders above him. As his wife was an aunt, he would not allow the imperial doctor to enter the delivery room.

, or to prevent outsiders from intervening in the delivery, it should be a matter of caution. He did not think that his wife would have evil intentions to harm his niece-in-law and grand-nephew.

But he also stated very firmly that if his father believed that his wife had ulterior motives, he would support his father's decision and would not and would not keep a woman who dared to harm his family's bloodline by divorcing her.

Zhang Mao sneered, divorced his wife, the second daughter-in-law’s mother-in-law is not a dead person. They came to the door and publicized the fact that the aunt harmed the niece’s daughter-in-law. Even if the British government was the victim, it would become a joke in Beijing. He just locked up the daughter-in-law.

Even if he is imprisoned in the palace until death, he will not be allowed to cause trouble and tarnish the reputation of the British government.

Zhang Maozhong just said to his second son coldly: "I hope you don't know about it. I will investigate this matter carefully."

At this moment, the funeral is still being arranged at the front. The eldest daughter-in-law died early and the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law cannot leave the house during confinement. She still has to support the scene as the second wife of the second-in-law.

Zhang Mao asked his second wife and fourth wife to take the place of You. They were no longer responsible for receiving guests every day, but only knelt in front of the coffin. I didn’t say it was a punishment, but it was really a hard job, and it was no different from kneeling in an ancestral hall as a punishment.

Yes, it just sounds nicer and more filial.

The fourth wife went to the fourth master's biological mother, Aunt Yang, who had the highest status in the husband's side room. Aunt Yang also went to Zhang Mao and made a fuss, but was banned.

Zhang Mao also said, "We have to wait until the funeral is over to discuss the rest," but no one dared to mention it.

Regarding such a result, Changfang just remained silent.

However, Prince Consort Youtai would never remain silent. The daughter who struggled in the delivery room and was almost killed by her aunt was his most beloved daughter.

Mrs. Wu Jingbo, who also came with her, said bluntly that although Zhang Hui was his direct grandson and the title of knighthood was not his, it would not be an eyesore to anyone, but there was a time before that she didn't know

Will her granddaughter Zhao Tong be in danger during childbirth?

There were only three of them standing in the huge study room. Zhang Mao still felt that the room was so narrow and stuffy that it was suffocating.

Zhang Mao refused to agree to the proposal of the two in-laws to "divide the house without dividing the family." He was not dead yet, so what kind of family should be divided? What kind of house should be divided! Moreover, such a big news of dividing the house was all over the capital.

If you want to discuss it, wouldn’t that matter also make a fuss?!

Just kidding, it would be better to let the second child live in separate houses than to let the second child divorce his wife!

However, he said that he would take good care of the house and ban his second and fourth daughters-in-law so that such a thing would never happen again, but the two in-laws expressed disbelief.

The two parties talked for a long time without reaching an agreement, and finally broke up on bad terms.

Zhang Maoyuan thought that after his old wife's funeral was over, he could free up his hands to tidy up the house, but he didn't expect that before long, he would seriously consider dividing the family and the house.

In mid-June, Zhang Huai, the Zuo Jiancheng of the Bureau of Rites, Zhang Jin, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhang Luan, the censor of the Zuo Qiandu of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Yang Yu, the commander of the Jinyiweidu, jointly impeached Zhang Mao and his son Zhang Ming, and Zhang Qin indulged the slaves

He committed murder, seized acres of land in Fengrun County, Shuntian Prefecture, and defrauded the land tax.

The case also involved the inaction of more than ten officials including a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Punishment, a general judge of Shuntian Prefecture, and a governor and censor. It also snowballed into the involvement of many nobles and clans, and even linked to the incident in the winter of the first year of Zhengde.

Displacement crisis...

Shen Rui had a really pleasant wedding vacation.

On the first day of May, he and Yang Tian were relieved to help resolve the matter with the British government. The unfinished date in Xiyuan was moved to the fifth day of May.

At Mrs. Wu Jingbo's invitation, Mrs. Xu went to her house to enjoy the dragon boat race on a big boat. Shen Rui confessed to Mrs. Xu and took Yang Tian to have fun on their own.

The two of them changed into civilian clothes and walked hand in hand in Xiyuan like ordinary couples. They crowded in the crowd and watched various water plays. They also went to eat the famous fresh fish cooked in oil. They did not return home until the lanterns came on.

After a whole day of fun, I felt so happy.

On the carriage home, Yang Tian was extremely tired. He leaned on Shen Rui's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest. The smile on his face still remained, and he couldn't help but talk about interesting things today.

Shen Rui smiled in her ear and said: "From now on, we will go out at least once a month. Like today, it's just the two of us."

Yang Tian immediately became energetic, and his big eyes were almost sparkling, as bright as stars, but he said: "In the future, you will help your mother manage the house. In the same year, you will have people getting married and moving to new houses. Many of them have sent notices. I have to go."

I'm afraid I don't have time to go out to play like this, and I am so playful, and my mother will blame me..."

Shen Rui nodded her nose and said: "Mom loves you more than me, so how can I blame you! There aren't many things going on at home. There's nothing wrong with going out once or twice a month to relax. Officials still have a rest.

...You don't have to worry about that, just ask, do you want to come out?"

Yang Tian smiled sheepishly, buried her head in his arms, and said as thinly as a mosquito, "Heng Yun, I'm very happy."

Shen Rui laughed, hugged his little wife, took stock, and said: "Speaking of which, I really have to go to some social events recently, but it will be fine after these two months. On the ninth day of this month, Bin Zhong bought

There is a banquet in the new house. There are no female relatives in his family, so you don’t have to go. On the 15th, it’s a banquet for Li Guo’s step-heirs. Let’s go together and it’ll be over in a while. We’ll come back to Xiyuan on our way back, how about that?”

Yang Tian raised his head with a smile and nodded heavily.

But he said that these days are indeed mostly warm house banquets.

Not to mention the ten new scholars who directly entered the Hanlin Academy. Half of those who were admitted as Shujishi were elected to the Sixth Ministry to observe politics. There are still many who have no active official vacancies for the time being and are only waiting for the inspection in Beijing this year.

If there are any that fall off the horse, it’s easy to pick them up.

The situation between the DPRK and the Central Government has been changing in the past two years. During the inspections in Beijing and the big bosses are fighting, I don’t know how many people want to move their positions. Especially the positions in the Central Government...

Most of those who stay in Beijing want to buy a house, and there are also many people from other places who are waiting to move to Beijing to become officials after being inspected by the capital, and they also want to buy a house.

As a result, house prices in Beijing have increased by an average of 30% this year. Small courtyard houses that originally cost only a few tens of taels are now priced at a hundred taels. Many good locations are suitable for low-level officials to move into the second and third houses. The price of houses has almost doubled.

times, which made many new Jinshi exclaim that it is not easy to live in the capital.

Dai Dabin was at home for the second time, and his parents lived with his eldest brother, so they asked him to take his wife to Beijing to have children after getting married next year. He also had a good future, and it was time to buy property and settle down in Beijing.
