Chapter 223: The Wasted Woman in the National Open Bureau 8
The leaves are falling and the weather is getting colder.
In mid-September, on a day off, I went to Zhuangzi outside Beijing.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan stood in the pavilion, staring at the villagers in the lake, who were happily digging lotus roots barefoot for a day's wage of 20 cents.
Unexpectedly, I thought of the original owner's memory. In the thirty-second year of Xingye, that is, the winter of the next year, the weather was extremely cold. Many old people and children froze to death in the suburbs of Beijing alone.
Furthermore, the manors and shops under the name of the original owner, as well as the Zhenguo Mansion, employed many personal soldiers who had followed the old duke in battles, but had retired due to injuries and had poor family backgrounds and struggled to make a living.
After thinking about all sorts of things, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan quickly returned to his study and began to draw the blueprint.
Then, they rode at full speed to the villa where the remaining soldiers were accommodated.
I had a secret conversation for quarter of an hour with the owner of the manor who was missing a part of his calf.
The relevant drawings and precautions of making the kang were handed over to the other party, and they were asked to do their best to spread them.
He left behind 1,000 taels of silver as working capital and went to inspect the village.
The era of cold weapons, coupled with backward medical care.
The disabilities of the wounded soldiers who successfully survived the battlefield were far less serious than imagined.
He inadvertently glanced at the owner of the manor who was leaning on a crutch and trying his best to follow behind him, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a wheelchair and a prosthesis.
He then ordered someone to bring paper, pen and table, and casually drew a very rough concept map. Then he ordered Butler Li to gather the craftsmen to start researching it.
After thinking about it, I added a bicycle sketch.
Zhuangzi is located halfway up the mountain and covers an area of 100 acres.
The main crops are peach planting, vegetables and poultry raising.
As it was getting dark, I hurried back to the capital.
He instructed the owner of the manor to try to grow green leafy vegetables in winter by heating the kang, and then rode away in a hurry.
January passed by quickly.
Based on the wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carriages used for transporting goods on the market, wheelchairs were quickly developed by craftsmen.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan generously gave one to each of the injured soldiers with leg problems and put them on sale in the store.
The promotion of earthen beds and the planting of off-season vegetables have both shown very good momentum.
There have also been new developments in the development of bicycles.
As usual, Cui Wanying stayed in a farm outside Beijing with Jin Lingyun, who cried easily.
Away from the male and female protagonists, the work and life of the second-rank court official are becoming more and more handy.
Before we knew it, the New Year was getting closer and Murong Shan's seven-month pregnant belly was swelling like a balloon.
Control within the government is becoming increasingly strict.
And let system 003 scan and monitor in real time.
When it comes to the original owner's wishes and task evaluation, it's never too careful.
I thought I could have a happy New Year in peace, but something went wrong.
On December 12th, it was snowing heavily in the study in the front yard of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan sat in the main seat at the top with a gloomy face.
The stubborn second son, Jin Li, knelt on the ground with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Jin Yan sat on the left armchair, and unusually, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, and had no intention of pleading for his own younger brother.
There's nothing I can do, it's just too stupid to watch.
How could her mother, who had been vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a farm outside Beijing and whose sister had "died of illness", shake hands and make peace with the Fourth Prince?
They had lunch together at Baiweilou and it became known to everyone.
The brain is a good thing, but it's full of grass.
He didn't even think about the fact that his sister-in-law was the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager and a natural descendant of the Seventh Prince.
The Fourth Prince has a bad reputation already, what good will come of approaching him at this time?
To show that you are a loyal friend and will not take advantage of others' misfortunes, so you are worth making friends with?
Tsk, that really reveals you.
"Ah!"
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan looked at Jin Li, who was kneeling in the hall and refused to change his ways. He sneered, swung his hand and smashed the teacup hard on his son's chest.
I have to admire myself for still being rational even at this moment.
Didn’t you hit your utterly bad son on the head?
If his face was disfigured and he couldn't serve as an official in the court, the original owner's overflowing fatherly heart might even give him a bad review.
"Father, calm down!"
Seeing this, Jin Yan quickly stood up and poured another cup of tea for his father.
It’s almost like saying it clearly: it’s a good smash, a brilliant smash, and a great smash.
Jin Li raised his hand to catch the teacup that was thrown at him, and put it on the ground.
He kowtowed three times, closed his eyes and organized his words before speaking out in rebuttal.
"Father, the Fourth Prince and I are just friends, and we have nothing to do with state affairs.
After office hours, what's wrong with drinking and chatting with a few good friends?
As for, little sister.
It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a prince?
Besides, my younger sister has nominally passed away a long time ago, so we can't ask the Fourth Prince to stay alone forever without getting married and having children, right?
Besides, it was my younger sister who forced herself to marry the Fourth Prince.
At that time, the Fourth Prince was in love with Minister Ji's concubine's daughter, so for the sake of his son, he didn't reject her cruelly and tried to get along with my younger sister."
"Ha ha……"
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan laughed out of anger, his eyes staring coldly into Jin Li's without any emotion.
Jin Li felt a chill down his spine when he was looked at, his throat became blocked, and he shut up.
"Speak, why don't you continue?
The fourth prince is innocent, you have a lot of face, and your sister deserves it. Your father and I are unreasonable. "
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan said it easily, but Jin Li broke out in a cold sweat.
Mocking your own father for being unreasonable?
So disobedient and unfilial?
No, he didn't. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Father, please forgive me. I dare not do that!"
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan closed his eyes and ignored the annoying things.
"Li Song!"
"The old servant is here."
Li Song, who was waiting at the door of the study, heard his master's call and immediately strode into the room holding the evidence he had prepared long ago.
"My Lord.
The testimonies of the imperial physician, the chief doctor, the female doctor, the second young master's attendant and other relevant personnel are all here.
It was confirmed that the birthday gift that the Second Young Master sent to Princess Yu Jin'an contained medicine that would weaken the mother's body during pregnancy.
If taken by mistake, it will cause difficult labor. In serious cases, it will result in two deaths.
In addition, the Second Young Master’s attendant, bewitched by the maid of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, tampered with the annual gift prepared by Princess Jin’an for the Queen and the Seventh Prince…”
"Impossible, how could it be?"
Jin Li looked dejected and could hardly believe his ears?
Changsheng is his foster brother? They grew up together.
How could she betray him for a maid?
Something must have gone wrong.
He stood up and snatched the testimony from the butler's hand.
His eyes were bloodshot and his hands were trembling as he flipped through the pages one by one.
Then, he collapsed to the ground in dejection.
The Fourth Prince has actually been using him all along?
Changsheng fell on the beautiful woman's belly.
However, he was unable to judge people and believed the slanders of Changsheng and the wet nurse day after day.
He feels inferior to his elder brother's excellence.
He regarded the Fourth Prince as his confidant and benefactor in life.
As for the Fourth Prince, he first used him to plot against his younger sister.
Then he used him to plot against his eldest sister-in-law.
Although he was not as good as his elder brother, he was at least a second-class Jinshi.
Ask yourself, did he really not understand the Fourth Prince's sinister intentions?
No, he just covered his eyes and didn't want to understand.
My eldest brother is so outstanding that it takes my breath away.
He just wanted to drag his eldest brother into the quagmire in a despicable way and watch him suffer in despair.
All are legitimate children.
Why does the eldest brother get all the benefits?
It’s not enough to marry Princess Jin’an, why must the title of Duke Zhenguo belong to the eldest brother?
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan took a sip of tea and roughly guessed what had happened.
Everything is just jealousy.
However, the blows still need to be struck.
"Zhong Yong!"
"My son is here."
"When spring comes, take your wife and be an official in a remote place.
It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
Seeing the sufferings of the people will broaden your horizons.
As a father, I hope you can be a good official who speaks up for the people."
"Yes, I will live up to my father's teachings."
"After Princess Anping married you, she took care of everything, so don't let her down.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Jin family, one can take a concubine only if he is childless after the age of 40.
Don't break the taboo and force your father to open the ancestral hall and clean up the family."
"Yes, my son knows."
"Bo Heng is the same. Now that Princess Jin'an is pregnant, you should be more self-disciplined and self-reflective.
When you have nothing to do, practice your martial arts more and don’t forget your basics.
If there are any maids with bad intentions, just send them to the farm with their entire family."
Jin Yan added more tea for his father at the right time and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, father. I know what's going on."
Jin Li lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
laugh!
You just love to show off! You step on your younger brother to show your filial piety! What kind of elder brother are you?
Didn’t you see that I’m still kneeling, brother?
"Father, my second brother has realized his mistake.
The ground is cold, and it would be bad if you hurt your knees."
"Okay, get up!
Go back and apologize to your elder brother and sister-in-law.
It’s late, let’s go back to sleep!”
After his two sons left together, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan waved away Butler Li, clenched his chin, and prepared to teach the Fourth Prince an unforgettable lesson.
