Aunt Yin helped the servants who were frightened by Jiang to clean up the mess. At least they had to move the incense burner that was crushed by Jiang's foot. The flat incense burner with footprints left was so eye-catching that everyone was weighing it.

Madam's strength and skill.

Even if the Fourth Madam is not good at words, as long as she has terrifying strength, who would dare to choke in front of the Fourth Madam?

As long as you have a thick skin, being scolded is not a big deal, but being beaten is not something that everyone can bear, especially the fourth lady with the power of the gods.

Just now, Mrs. Wen asked Wang Yixin to divorce his wife. As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. It was not cost-effective to divorce Mr. Jiang... Divorcing his wife also had a bad reputation. Even though Wang Yixin was banished to an immortal, his career has always been tepid.

Fire, which powerful nobleman would be willing to marry his favored daughter to Wang Yixin as a continuation of his marriage?

If it were not for her favored daughter, the Marquis Guanwen and the Wang family would not look down on her.

The Wang family could not afford to offend the emperor's favorites like the Jiang family, and the sensible nobles were not willing to let Xiningbo's resentment go to waste. Even if the Jiang family was divorced, the children born to the Jiang family were still there, so what happened to Xiningbo Jiang Dayong?

Maybe he watched his granddaughter being abused by her stepmother?

It's not easy to be Wang Yixin's wife, but it's even harder to be his stepwife.

If Wang Yixin agreed, Wenshi immediately advised Wang Yixin not to abandon his legitimate wife ruthlessly. The Wang family did not have the tradition of divorced wives. Wenshi would even pretend to be tolerant and forgive Jiang's temporary gaffe... But Fourth Master Wang simply did not

I didn't expect to divorce my wife.

Wen Shi felt unhappy.

She was bullied by Mr. Jiang, but her most distressed son did not respond and did not look to blame Mr. Jiang. Mr. Wen was betrayed and "hurt" by her beloved son. She cried more and more aggrieved while holding Jin Sun. She kept talking about Mr. Jiang.

No, I accused Wang Yixin of being unfilial, and ordered Wang Yixin to divorce his wife...

After hearing the news about Jiang's commotion, Wen's daughter-in-law hurried over. After entering the door, they could no longer see the powerful flat incense burner. Hearing and seeing with one's own eyes are always two different concepts, so Nalan

Zou Zou and others gathered around Wen to explain to Wen, although they did not dare to speak ill of Jiang openly. However, Wen Zou Zou's words contained contempt for Jiang's origin.

Aunt Yin acted very knowledgeable about current affairs. Before the ladies arrived, she presided over the overall situation like a lady, giving orders to her servants and signaling her children to comfort the old lady. After Wen's serious daughter-in-law arrived, she was low-key, calm, and naturally

He then retreated behind Wang Yixin without saying a word to claim credit, and accompanied Wang Yixin in an obedient and docile manner.

At another time, Aunt Yin's move would have definitely received Wang Yixin's response. Unfortunately... Wang Yixin now had a headache from Wen's crying, and was at a loss for Jiang's sudden outburst. The most memorable thing was not that Jiang stepped on him.

Incense burner, but the last words Jiang said.

He looked down at his perfect hands, and his well-joined fingers slowly clenched into fists. The scene of their first encounter was already blurry, and he deliberately forgot about it.

Wang Yixin did not want to think of being forced by his grandfather to get close to the Chiang family.

Before Wang Zhiyao left with Jiang, she glanced at him. With that one look, Wang Yixin's persistence and belief, as well as his perfect example of a nobleman, were shattered into pieces.

He is like a clown. The most hypocritical hypocrite.

This was a huge blow to Wang Yixin, who always thought highly of himself.

Since Wang Yixin is known as the legacy of the gentry, his words and deeds are at least respected by others.

His paintings can be sold for thousands of dollars.

His poems are praised by people, and his calligraphy is used as a copybook by many people to copy when practicing calligraphy.

Although he doesn't play chess often, as long as he plays seriously, even the famous chess kings in the capital will be defeated. As for playing the piano and flute... he can also play the music of nature.

Wang Yixin is talented and good-looking, but has no intention of fame or fortune. He just wants a happy life. Why should Wang Zhiyao look at him with contempt?

Wenshi was surrounded by her daughter-in-law, and she became more and more enthusiastic. She pretended that Wang Yixin would not divorce his wife, so she would move out of the Marquis Mansion, or split up the family. The eldest daughter-in-law, Nalanshi, acted like the eldest sister-in-law.

He said to Wang Yixin: "You should better discipline your fourth younger brother and sister. Don't be reluctant to talk about her all the time and make her mad at your mother-in-law. If this matter spreads, the entire Hou family will be embarrassed..."

Wang Yixin recovered from his hard thoughts and politely apologized to Nalan and others.

"Mother, don't be angry. Please understand your son for once. He cannot divorce his wife, and he will not do anything to ruin the family tradition of the Wang family."

"you……"

Mrs. Wen was so angry that she fell in love with her beloved son. Who wants you to divorce your wife? Don’t you know how to comfort yourself? Your heart is so blocked that you have raised a fourth child. How much grievance will you have to endure?

.

Is this a filial son? Or is he here to collect debts?

Wang Yixin lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of Mr. Wen, frightening everyone around him. Is this the beginning of a family separation?

The Guanwen Marquis Mansion can be without the crown prince, but it cannot be without the couple who were banished to immortals.

Without the presence of the Fourth Fang, the strength of Guanwenhou Mansion would immediately drop by several levels, and even the current dignity would be lost.

"If mother cherishes her son, forget about today's matter, madam... I would advise, just as Mrs. Yin said, Mrs. Jiang has a fiery temperament, and she loves Brother Chun. Don't say anything bad about her in the future.

, Youdao is that nature is easy to change but hard to change. Her temper has been developed and it is not easy to change. Why do you have to be angry with her over trivial matters? Since you let Jiang in, you should worry more and teach her slowly.

Just her."

Wang Yixin's eyes were clear and he seemed very sincere, "You are a good mother-in-law and you care about your daughter-in-law. If today's incident spreads, even if you are right, others will say that your upbringing is not strict. After all, Jiang married his son ten years ago."

In the past few years, if you have not trained your daughter-in-law well, others will criticize you for not being loving enough..."

"You mean not only that I was bullied by your wife, but also that I have to help your wife hide it from outsiders? I also have to say good things about your wife in front of outsiders?" Wenshi was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she slapped Luo Hantan, and asked angrily:

"Are you still my son?"

"I am also thinking about the reputation of the Hou family. If I don't cultivate my inner life, my father and brother's reputation will be tarnished. Haven't you understood? Which of His Majesty's favorite ministers is not harmonious as husband and wife? Brothers of the same clan work together to support each other? Duke Ding is like this,

The same goes for Uncle Xining. Nowadays, it is really not suitable for the Wang family to make jokes about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting each other."

"..."

The tears that Wen shed this time were very 'sincere'.

Wang Yixin kowtowed solemnly and then stood up and said to Aunt Yin and Wang Zhixuan, "You guys stay with your mother. Brother Han, I won't let you pass this provincial examination, but you can't delay your studies, and you can't stay in the back house."

If you stay for a long time, you will move out of my mother's courtyard in a few days, and I will arrange a place for you to study in the study outside."

No matter how dissatisfied Wang Duanhan is, he can only say yes.

"What? You want to take away the grandson I raised by myself?" Mrs. Wen hugged Wang Duanhan and refused to let go, "No. He lives here with me. Isn't it the same as winning a small three yuan?"

"Brother Han is my son. My arrangements will never harm him. You cherish Brother Han too much. What do you think of your brother's legitimate son? The eldest brother is the one who inherits the title, and the eldest son's legitimate grandson is the royal family.

The backbone clan leader. You love Brother Han too much. You might harm him."

As long as Wang Yixin makes a decision, few people can change him. Moreover, his move is very in line with the rules and regulations. Wen Shi spared the eldest grandson and only cared for Wang Duanhan. What do others think?

It was nothing before. After all, Wang Duanhan was still young, and the prince and his wife would not think much about it even if they were unhappy. Wang Yixin did not want to cause the brothers to turn against each other and fight for the title.

He never thought about inheriting the position of marquis over his elder brother.

Moreover, he did not want his son to be raised in the hands of the wife in the back house. Although Wen was his biological mother, sometimes Wang Yixin did not believe in Wen's ability.

The prince's wife, Nalanshi, pursed her lips tightly and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She had wanted to say this for a long time. No matter how much she hurt her fourth brother, she could not ignore her eldest grandson.

Once the Marquis passes away, the person who supports the Wen family is the eldest family member. The person who inherits the title of the Wang family and most of the property is also the eldest family member.

Wang Yixin didn't seem to notice Wen's reluctance, and said to Wang Duanhan again: "Today you stay with your grandmother. Tomorrow you can gather your things and move out."

"Yes, father."

"I'm doing it for your own good. From now on...you should watch Brother Chun more and urge him to make progress.",

"Yes, father." Wang Duanhan assured: "My son will definitely love Chundi, father, don't worry."

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Wang Yixin raised his hands to the ashen-faced Wen and said, "Please rest, my son is gone."

He floated away, making Mrs. Wen so angry that she could only breathe out, but not in. The daughters-in-law were busy for a while, and Mrs. Wen finally calmed down a little. She burst into tears and was so aggrieved that she could not speak. Although Mrs. Jiang had offended her,

But her son's words made Mrs. Wen's heart bleed, "What's the use of raising a son?"

Wang Yixin stood for justice. If Wen didn't agree, she would be a foolish woman. She always regarded herself as a wise old lady, how could she tolerate others misunderstanding her?

…

Mrs. Jiang returned to her room, ordered Qi's mother to prepare the meal, and caressed Wang Duanchun's thin cheek, "Brother Chun, can you forgive me?"

"Mother..." Wang Duanchun seemed to have not yet woken up from the series of shocks just now. The traditional ethics he had received told him that Jiang was wrong to threaten his mother-in-law, but Jiang did all this for him.

If he had been more ambitious, done better in his studies, and gotten good grades in Taishan Academy, perhaps there would not be the conflict today, and his father and grandmother would like him as much as they like Wang Duanhan.

"Don't make your grandma unhappy because of your son. It's not for your son to disappoint his elders."

Wang Zhiyao watched from the side, Wang Duanchun's low self-esteem and cowardice had already developed... He didn't know how much of a blow these words had given to the Jiang family.

Sure enough, Ms. Jiang burst into tears, and Wang Duanchun didn't even understand why Ms. Jiang was crying. He bowed repeatedly and said, "My son is not good. Mother should teach her son a lesson."

"Brother Chun..."

Wang Zhiyao took the initiative to hold Wang Duanchun's arm, "Brother just came back, and my mother said she wanted to forgive her. How could I understand my brother?"

Jiang looked at Wang Zhiyao with eyes red from crying. She didn't know when her daughter had become her backbone. She seemed to be able to solve any problem.

Wang Zhiyao put her brother's hand on Jiang's hand and stacked the three hands together, "As long as you understand, brother will not be confused anymore. We are a family. There is no need to say forgiveness. Who is sorry for whom, you are here

With my grandpa here, how can I make my brother feel wronged again?"

Wang Duanchun looked at Mrs. Jiang and then at his sister. He remembered that before he left the capital, the younger sister didn't like to talk about his grandfather. After two years of separation, the younger sister had changed a lot. He didn't quite understand why his mother was sad and crying.

Why did he just kick over the incense burner, but as the elder brother, he relied on his sister for help? He was so useless.

Thinking in his heart, Wang Duanchun's face naturally showed signs of it, and he said weakly: "Mother, I... made a big mistake in Taishan Academy, and it was inevitable that I would be scolded by my grandmother. If it weren't for my father's face, I'm afraid I would be very

It's hard to survive the teacher's punishment. Don't get angry with your father because of your son. The father loves his son very much."

"Brother, let's eat first, okay?"

Wang Zhiyao interrupted Wang Duanchun's words in a brisk tone, "You are in a hurry. You must be hungry. The meals my mother has prepared today are all your favorites."

Wang Duanchun nodded stiffly, as if he couldn't bear to let down Jiang's wishes, "I'll go freshen up first and come back later."

Mother Qi was busy helping Master Chun wash up, while Mrs. Jiang covered her eyes with her hands. She didn't want her daughter to see her tears of regret... A good son was brought up like this, and Mrs. Jiang's heart hurt more than being cut with a knife.

"Take your time, brother will always understand."

"Yao'er, there's no need to persuade me, I'm not worthy of being a mother."

Wang Zhiyao understood Jiang's pain, and any explanation would be less effective than letting Wang Duanchun cheer up again.

Wang Duanchun, who has no self-confidence, is cowardly, has low self-esteem, and is rigid, is very heart-wrenching. It is not easy to change his established character, but no matter how difficult it is, Wang Zhiyao cannot give up Wang Duanchun's upright life.

"Yao'er, what do you think I should do? How can I make your brother understand? How about asking your grandpa to discipline him?"

"No." Wang Zhiyao shook her head, "Grandpa has a fiery temperament. How can he get so angry after meeting his brother? Besides, grandpa always trains boys by beating them. Now my brother can't turn around and is given a simple and rough beating by grandpa.

Lesson learned, maybe even the last trace of confidence has disappeared."

Wang Duanchun's current state is like a foreign object that has strayed into another species. He is trying his best to learn from the people around him, but he is not of the same species, how can he learn well?

Jiang Jiaerlang grew up under the training of his grandfather since he was a child, and he was already very accustomed to and familiar with each other. Wang Duanchun suddenly switched from literature to martial arts, and he was not used to it. When he found that his cousins ​​were all better than him, he would shrink into a corner.

"What should I do? I can't watch Brother Chun go on like this..."

"I will think of a way. I will help him find a good role model to learn from. As long as my brother regains his confidence, whether it is martial arts or writing, it will not be a problem. My brother is not a fool."

"Who are you looking for?" Ms. Jiang filtered through Wang Zhiyao's possible candidates in her mind, "The Kong family is not suitable... Besides, if your brother is to study with one of the two elites in the capital, I'm afraid he won't learn well and will think astray."

"I have never met Mr. Kong, and I don't know his temperament. How could I find him? Moreover, he is not suitable to be a role model for my brother. He is not proud enough!"

"You... wouldn't think of using Mr. Gu again, would you?"

"No one is more suitable than him. Think about it, can he not know what the world is saying about his identity? But have you ever seen him feel inferior and pity himself? I'm afraid he always goes his own way in front of His Majesty. His ability

Pride is not innate, nor is it cultivated by the emperor. I think he has worked hard to develop his skills, proving that no one else is as good as him... No one in the world is more proud and confident than him."

Even if others criticize his origin, who dares to say a word to his face?

Even if you don't rely on your ability, you can be defeated by your "fighting father". If you are not convinced, you can also ask your father to take action.

With Wang Duanchun's character, even if he hangs out with Gu Sanshao all day long, he will not be able to develop Gu Sanshao's character as the eldest son, the second son, and the third son. As long as his brother can be more confident and proud, Wang Zhiyao will be satisfied.

"Can Third Young Master Gu listen to you? I heard that Duke Dingguo even ordered him not to move."

"Don't worry about it, I will think of a way."

Wang Zhiyao even thought about asking Sanshao Gu to help with some imperial examination questions... He would be a fool not to use it if he had resources. When his own father was unreliable, he would have to find a big tree by himself.

Jiang said worriedly: "You ask him for help, what if he makes excessive demands?"

"Will I take the initiative to ask him to help?" Wang Zhiyao was a little helpless to Jiang, "We have different genders, different statuses, and different methods. You have to understand that women have many ways to deal with men, so how can they make him take the initiative to help?

"

She and Gu Tianze had always used each other mostly, and even if she had an admiration for Gu Tianze, they were drowned in the disparity in status between them.

Emotions without results are never within her scope of consideration.

After Wang Duanchun had finished his meal, he took out a book from the box and studied hard. Jiang felt very distressed and asked him to rest several times, but he said, "I am stupider than others. I don't work hard and I can't keep up with my classmates."

Is it useful for him to study so hard?

Wang Zhiyao said: "If my brother is exhausted, how can he take the imperial examination?"

The book in Wang Duanchun's hand was taken away by Wang Zhiyao, "Little sister..."

"You and your mother have been separated for more than two years. My mother and I both want to know the situation of Taishan Academy. Didn't Confucius say that by climbing Mount Tai, you will know the world? Is Taishan Academy located on Mount Tai?" Wang Zhiyao blinked her big curious eyes with great interest.

He asked: "Is there anything interesting around here? What's delicious? Tell me, I've never been out of the capital, so I'm sure I don't have as much experience as my brother."

"There are some places of interest, but I don't have time to see them." Wang Duanchun recalled seriously, "I have been studying seriously at Taishan Academy. I rarely go out with my classmates. If I didn't want to go back to Beijing to celebrate my grandmother's birthday this time... I wouldn't

I cheated in the exam room and got into big trouble. In fact, it's not that I don't know the questions, the note was forced on me by someone else."

When it comes to destroying the atmosphere, Wang Duanchun definitely ranks first.

Wang Zhiyao sighed inwardly. He was so stupid in reading, he was such a nerd!

Angry and distressed for Wang Duanchun, Wang Zhiyao grabbed her brother happily before Jiang could burst into tears again, "The capital is a lot of fun. No one took me out before. Now that my brother is back, I can go with you."

Go eat and drink and have a good time."

"But reading..."

"Reading hundreds of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. After studying, Saint Kong also traveled around the world to increase his knowledge and make friends. Brother, you can't just hold books. You also need friends."

"But my father said that you should never tire of reading and learn new things by reviewing the past."

"He always has small gatherings with friends. When poets, ministers and celebrities gather, he will be there every time."

"But he..."

"No but. You have to accompany me when I go out. You are my brother and you have to protect me."

"..."

Wang Duanchun was moved by these words. He just went out with his sister and stayed up a little longer at night. "I promise you."

Wang Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief and finally cracked open the elm head. As long as she took Wang Duanchun out, Wang Duanchun would no longer want to study.

"What is this?" Wang Zhiyao pointed to the silk in the box, with a plum blossom embroidered on it. It could be seen that the owner of the handkerchief was very good at embroidery, and she said with a bad smile: "Which beautiful lady gave it to you?"

Wang Duanchun shook his head repeatedly and said in a low voice: "This handkerchief was given to me by my fifth sister last year. My brother also sent me a few books. I... knew that my little sister didn't like me accepting the gift from my fifth sister, so I kept it there."

In the box."

Seeing Wang Zhiyao's unkind expression, although Wang Duanchun was reluctant to part with the fifth sister's kindness, he still said: "When I meet the fifth sister, I will return it to her. In fact, I think the fifth sister means well."

"Yes, she means well, so well that she clearly has her biological brother to love and care for her, but she is not satisfied yet and wants to snatch you away too."

"No, you are my biological sister, so naturally you are different from my fifth sister."

"I will be more like a good sister than her in the future. Your heart cannot be directed towards her. You are my brother and you can only protect me!"

"Okay, okay, don't cry. If you cry any more, you won't be pretty."

Wang Duanchun awkwardly wiped away his little sister's tears. It felt good to be relied on by her little sister.

My little sister needs him, he is not useless.

"Did I look beautiful just now?"

"Well, you look better than when I left the capital, although..." Wang Duanchun didn't dare to say this when he was not the fifth sister, "you are the most beautiful in my eyes."

"snort."

Wang Zhiyao hit her brother's chest with her pink fist, "No matter whether your brother is a good scholar or not, he is the best brother in my eyes."

Wang Duanchun's face turned red, and he smiled a little shyly. Although he was still thin, his face had a bit of energy at this time. Wang Duanchun was not as handsome as Wang Duanhan, but his smile had a warm and cherished look.

Feel.

…

In the palace, Emperor Qianyuan's hearty laughter came from the Qianqing Palace, "Young man who cares about your head but not your hips, you lose."

Gu Tianze threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, "I won't play anymore."

"Hahaha." Emperor Qianyuan's good mood was obviously not ruined by Gu Tianze, and he laughed and scolded: "I have never been able to say no more. No one dares to say no to me."

Gu Tianze stood up and walked out, with his back to Emperor Qianyuan, who was not as majestic as an emperor, "If you are willing to admit defeat, I will give you a foot bath and a foot bath."

"Hahaha."

Emperor Qianyuan picked up the chess pieces with a proud smile on his lips, "It's rare to be served by you, you heartless brat."

The Eunuch Huaien, the eunuch in charge of the eunuch who was serving at the side and had been with Emperor Qianyuan for the longest time, said in a low voice: "Master Gu sent people to the Beifu Division of Jinyiwei Town..."

Emperor Qianyuan's smile did not change: "You don't need to reply to me about this trivial matter. Aze is not the one who deliberately causes trouble, but the one who provokes him is the one who dislikes him."

Eunuch Huai'en lowered his eyelids and did not dare to say anything. After a while, he said, "My slave, go help Master Gu to fetch water."

"Go, go, don't let the hot water burn Aze."

"Here."

…

Outside Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Huai'en wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up to see Gu Tianze standing not far away, as if Gu Tianze already knew the outcome and was waiting for Eunuch Huai'en to surrender.

The bright moon and stars illuminated his half-smiling face. The eunuch in charge of the ceremony was the most trusted eunuch by the emperor. He was someone who no one in the palace would dare to offend easily. At this moment, when Eunuch Huai En faced Gu Tianze, he couldn't help but feel nervous and cursed himself secretly.

How did the brat get into trouble with Mr. Gu?

I'm afraid it will be difficult to be kind this time.

ps. Continue to ask for pink. The scumbag dad is very scumbag, very hypocritical, and very face-saving. In his opinion, partiality is not his fault. If you don't divorce your wife, you are a gentleman. Ahem, this kind of scumbag dad is not scumbag on the surface, but it makes you very powerless.
