C67 (1/2)
Your majesty, Miss Meng's father has just died, so it's not good for us to discuss marriage. Since Madam Meng thinks that the Second Mountain is a mere Elementary Scholar, why don't we wait a little longer. When the Second Mountain has become an official and then marry Lady Meng? Madam Meng, you won't be ashamed to see our ancestors, will you?
Ling Chaofeng stood at the side with a complicated expression. The phrase ”just passed away father” was something that he could not do anything about, since he had only recited the Three Character Classic before.
Seeing that the Xiaowan was straightforward, the emperor's expression slightly eased, but the Mrs. Meng said: ”Could it be, could it be that my Lian Yi will wait for him for the rest of her life if he fails the examination all her life?”
Xiaowan was very angry: ”Mrs. Meng, you must be looking down on Ershan, even if you are looking down on Ershan, you shouldn't torture your own daughter to death. Are you even Lian Yi's mother? You actually tacitly allowed your son to send your daughter to repay the gambling debt, don't tell me that you now have the face to meet with your ancestors? Mrs. Meng, you cannot slap yourself when you speak. ”
Mrs. Meng was still the wife of an official, and people he met normally were all respectable and respectable. But suddenly, a clever little married woman came to her and started lecturing, and although his words were rough, every word was reasonable, leaving her speechless.
Ling Chaofeng had no choice but to walk forward and bring Xiaowan away. young lady was so angry that he was about to burst into flames, he lightly patted Xiaowan's back: ”Don't be anxious.”
The emperor coldly replied, ”No wonder everyone says that it is difficult to break a family's affairs even if it's a Manchu officials.” He looked at Zhi County and said, ”As a father and mother, I don't want you to judge me. What should I do?”
Kaixian was scared stiff, his mind blank, calculating that if he could get a High Scholar in August, he would be able to make it to the convention next year. Otherwise, they would have to wait for another three years. Three years. Three years …
Within these three years, Mrs. Meng and family members are not allowed to casually marry Miss. If Miss Ling emerges from the family within these three years, he can come and take Miss as his wife if he were to become famous. If not, then after three years, the Prefect's filial piety has passed. Your Majesty, look at this … Or six years, or three years, or too short. ”
Xiang Run replied coldly: ”That's all. For the three year period, whether or not you can marry the one you love will depend on your own abilities.”
Ershan prostrated himself on the ground: ”This student thanks Master for his grace, and will definitely give it his all.”
Xiaowan said from the side, ”Your majesty, can you request for another decree?”
Xiang Run had a good impression of the Xiaowan and agreed immediately: ”Tell me.”
The Xiaowan looked at Ling Chaofeng timidly, seeing that his brother-in-law had no objections, she said: ”Can you give the order that Mrs. Meng and Young Noble Meng are not allowed to lock up the Miss Meng? It allows her to go out freely.”
The emperor gently nodded. ”I'll do as you say.”
Xiaowan was overjoyed, kowtowing to express her gratitude.
The emperor then said to the county magistrate, ”The matter of you acting as the government official for the past few days is quite appropriate. Today, you will be officially promoted to the Li Prefecture Department. For the next three years, I shall assign you another mission to protect Miss Meng and not let anyone else take him to repay her gambling debts. If anyone dares to do so, the law will punish them without mercy. Not everyone is fit to be a mother in this world. ”
Mrs. Meng laid on the ground trembling, not daring to say a single word.
The magistrate was completely shocked. Xie En directly stammered, he had risen by three levels consecutively, jumping from a small county to a government official. Originally, he was afraid that even if his Baisha County were to reach the peak of whiteness, it would not even reach his level.
Lian Yi trembled as she climbed down from the bed. She had broken a leg and needed a few months to recuperate, but the pain made her break out in a cold sweat. However, she clenched her teeth and thanked the emperor respectfully.
Xiang Run said: ”No need to thank us, it is not a glorious thing for things to be like this. In the future, I hope you all will take care of yourselves.”
And to Ershan, ”Ling Yu, since your name is set on success, and you are also involved in the affairs of your children, even if we meet you in the Hall Competition next year, we will still have to consider a few points. However, only those who have a true personality can think for their people. This is not a bad thing, I hope you do not think that you have wandered into the wrong path. ”
Ershan bowed his head and listened, not daring to refute.
On the other side, Xiaowan and Siyan helped Lian Yi up. She was heavily injured and could not be moved, she could only be raised at home, but with the Emperor's decree, knowing of the county, and the new Prefect looking after her, Mrs. Meng and the others should not bully her again.
”There are so many guests in the inn, I'm too busy to come. I'll come see you in a few days.” Xiaowan wiped away the cold sweat on Lian Yi's forehead and said with a pained heart, ”Don't think too much. Just wait patiently. Once Ershan obtains his name, Hubby and I will definitely arrange a marriage for him, and he will be here to marry you immediately. ”
Lian Yi promised with tears in her eyes. When she looked at Ershan again, they were both filled with love, who would have thought, that one would be captured on the Baisha Town, and that it would be the fate of her life. Today, in the restaurant, her brother's creditor had taken advantage of her.
The emperor and Ling Chaofeng both went out the door. They looked at Xiaowan and Siyan, where Siyan whispered a few words into her ears, and then the two of them went forward to help Mrs. Meng out of the room. Ershan and Lian Yi were the only ones left in the room.
Ershan sat on the side of the bed and supported Lian Yi up. Looking at the people who were crying in confusion, his heart was about to break. What did Lian Yi do wrong? She wanted to torture her like this again and again.
Lian Yi leaned into Ershan's embrace as she sobbed, ”I'll wait for you to marry me. Ershan, I'll wait for you …”
Ershan caressed her back and choked with sobs, ”I can't protect you all the time, Lian Yi, I'm sorry.”
Outside the door, magistrate was holding onto Mrs. Meng's hand to persuade him to take advantage of the situation. The emperor was already angry. If she continued to cause trouble, there would be a dead end for his. Since Ling Tian had obtained the fate of the emperor, his future would definitely soar. Why would she hold on to the benefits in front of her? In the future, his son-in-law would have great prospects. If he were to help his sons instead, the Meng Residence would not decline.
Mrs. Meng didn't say anything. She didn't ask for anything else, he only hoped that his son could have a future.
The emperor was waiting outside for the carriage, he immediately wanted to return to the inn, and Ershan knew what to do, and quickly left the pavilion. The group of people walked out of the main entrance of the palace, and the emperor coldly said: ”Don't let anyone know that we have come here today, you go tell the people in the house, if there is any news, destroy the entire clan, and do not show mercy.”
magistrate replied with a tremble, then respectfully sent his group off on their horses. He heaved a sigh of relief, regained his senses, and remembered that he had been promoted to a higher official. Jumping about wildly, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates, ”Quick, quickly go to Baisha County. Bring in Mother and Madam here.”
The Xiaowan followed Ling Chaofeng and sat in the carriage that they came from. The Empress walked in front, and the Xiaowan popped her head out from time to time to look around. Ling Chaofeng dragged her back and said, ”Be careful not to fall down, what can you see from here?”
Ershan drove the carriage outside, while Xiaowan laid in her master's embrace without restraint, and said happily: ”This is great, in two years, our inn will get married again. I, myself, married in a strange way, and will definitely arrange a grand wedding for Ershan and Lian Yi. ”
Ling Chaofeng poured cold water on them. ”Let's see if he has the ability to take the exam first, and how many people he has alarmed. Something useless.”
Xiaowan chuckled as she crawled up to cup her hubby's face, ”The Empress told me. There was clearly someone who asked the Emperor to bestow this marriage on them first.”
”Who?” Ling Chaofeng smiled, ”Do you recognize him?”
”I don't recognize him.” Xiaowan pretended ignorance and rubbed her husband's face with all her might. However, when Ling Chaofeng opened his arms, she went into his embrace and happily said, ”My husband is the best in the world.”
He was originally going to inspect farming today, but ended up taking care of his family's affairs. If it was not for Siyan who was by her side at noon, when he saw someone jumping down from the stairs, would he take action?
