Chapter 207 I picked up five hundred taels for nothing...
It turns out that after the eldest princess Guide married Lin's consort, she lived in the Tenth Prince's Palace in the palace, and usually summoned her consort to serve her. Tonight, the eldest princess suddenly became interested, and Luan Jia suddenly condescended to go to the consort's residence, but he was in vain. What should have been expected was
The consort Lin, who was surprised by the surprise, summoned her friends that night and visited Hua Street and Liu Lane, and staged a tragedy on the happy night.
It is said that Consort Lin put the blame on Li You, and no one else had anything to say for a while. It was time for Mr. Li to come forward and say a few words. After all, he is also a seventh-grade official, so he is naturally qualified to speak.
The atmosphere is a bit tense... Li You secretly thought. In fact, in his opinion, if Prince Consort Lin softly begged for mercy in a low voice, the matter might be over. But he didn't know whether it was because of his personality or other reasons, but he refused to say this.
, I would rather use my official as a shirk than bow my head and admit my mistake. How can I get off the stage by calling the princess Chitose?
In the relationship between the princess and the prince-in-law, Mr. Li must stand on the side of the princess due to his tendency to follow others' influence. First, he should distance himself, then clarify the facts, and finally denounce the prince-in-law's untrue words and unruly conduct.
The reason is very simple. Consort Lin is of almost no use to him in the officialdom, but the eldest princess Guide can tell her biological mother and brothers at any time to tell lies and slander.
Although the princesses of the Ming Dynasty have always been known for their honesty and even cowardice, who knows if this one in the house is a special case?
Li You judged from the signs in front of him that it might be a special case - in the past one or two hundred years since the dynasty, no other princess had dared to reprimand the civil servants of the foreign court and said, "It is the rule of several officials to walk around the stage." A glimpse of the leopard,
Is such a princess easy to mess with?
As the saying goes, it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. Generally speaking, outsiders should not interfere in the problems between husband and wife. It is easy for both parties to dislike each other. However, the couple in front of Li You really did not look like a husband and wife.
Although the princess's consort has not said a few words since he sent Lin's consort here, and most of the time the housekeeper Wang Yannu was chattering in the middle, some clues can already be seen.
In which family can a wife openly punish her husband to kneel down and reflect in front of outsiders? In which family should a husband use words such as "report" when speaking to his wife? Not to mention that the wife is on top, and the husband can only stand on the steps and reply...
After pondering this point, Li You secretly sighed in his heart, the princess and the consort are indeed the most unlikeable couple in the world, even more unlike the emperor and the empress.
The relationship between the emperor and the empress can be justified in terms of etiquette and law, but between the consort and the princess, should the emperor be the subject, or the husband should be the wife?
This conflict must ultimately be resolved by power. Obviously, the rule of the king as a minister now trumps the rule of the husband as a wife. How could a prince-in-law who was born as a commoner withstand the pressure of the royal family, and there were no upright and upright ministers to come forward to protect the husband-in-law's rights?
Of course, Yu would not be so stupid as to support the consort in reviving her husband.
Mr. Li, who was thoughtful and ready to speak, glanced at Lin's consort. However, he saw that the bruised and swollen face of the consort had no expression at all, and was lifeless. His empty eyes were staring straight at the railing in front of the hall and the people in the courtyard who had just hooked up the railing.
The contrast between the image of a flying and lively noble man is very strong.
Li You thought uninterestedly, why did you look so indifferent to yourself when you had the idea to use me as a cover? Don't you look at me with pity, pleading, and flattering eyes? You deserve your misfortune...
But it is really pitiful and almost desperate. Li You, who is also a married man in his teens and thinks he has his family life under control, has great sympathy for Mr. Lin who is married to the most noble girl in the world...
Suddenly I remembered that he was also a disciple of Zhu Bulang. He didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face. Could you help to cover it up? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Mr. Zhu Fanghe in the future.
Overthinking and overthinking, Mr. Li's mind was constantly spinning around, and he had been trying to speak for a long time. Wang Yannu urged him impatiently: "After all this time, Mr. Li hasn't compiled it yet?
Do you still want to have a string of words with the consort?"
Women are sensitive and must not let them hear anything strange. The sentence I just said, "Who is Princess Guide among the masters of the Lord of Heaven and Earth?" was a bit loud. At that time, I didn't know that the princess was inside... Therefore, Li
You gathered his emotions, lowered his head and said kindly: "The official and Lin's consort hit it off at first sight. There may be some misunderstanding, and His Highness is willing to find out clearly."
"We fell in love with each other as soon as we met, so we went to hook up with each other?" Wang Yannv said sarcastically.
"Actually, it's all my fault." Li You said in an even lower tone, "I was born in a humble family, had nowhere to study since I was a child, and lived a hard life in the county. Fortunately, I had some talent and didn't die of hunger and cold, and was favored by the emperor to choose him for a day.
He was an official, but he was looked down upon repeatedly, and he was allowed to go to the capital to study in prison..."
At this time, His Royal Highness Chitose spoke for the second time behind the beaded curtain in the hall, "Master Li, since he is studying, he should look like he is studying. It is the right principle to have talents and virtues, so how can you mess around with this useless prince-in-law?"
You are really lenient...Li You continued to blame himself and said: "Now that I suddenly entered the capital, I was dazzled, humble as an ant, with no money left in my body, and I was at a loss whether to leave or leave. Just as there is a poem, only then can I be clear and bright, with high aspirations and be alone.
The emperor's luck in the capital was at a loss. For a time, he had no friends, no way to deliver goods, hesitant and helpless. He had no choice but to imitate the old things in the south of the Yangtze River, and borrowed poems to become famous on the side of the chariot hub. It was difficult to enter the high gate, and the world was like this, so he couldn't show off in a brothel.
So what can poetry do?"
The dead-looking Lin Consort over there heard Li You's words and didn't care about pretending to be dead. He turned around and was slightly shocked——
If he remembered correctly, when he woke up from a coma in a sedan chair on the road, Mr. Cui, who was also beaten, introduced that Mr. Li was only a seventh-grade man with amazing talents, but he was an unscrupulous figure in Suzhou and the capital.
Zhong Ye also has some connections. Even the highly respected Shi Lun, the famous minister of this dynasty, was forced by this person to have no place in Suzhou...
How come in his own words, the experience is so bitter and difficult, and the scene is so pitiful and pitiful that it makes people cry? Who is lying?
"As the saying goes, a man is short of breath and a horse is thin and long-haired. He was bullied by the snobbish old bustard in the courtyard. He met his consort on the road in a hurry. He was righteous and not angry, so he led me to seek justice. Unexpectedly, there was resentment in the house, and it was all my fault.
.”
There was a faint and slender sigh in the hall, "Mr. Li is so talented and so lucky, I feel pity for him..."
Standing in front of the hall, Wang Yannu felt that the tone was not right and coughed heavily.
Then I heard another instruction from inside: "Make a note, I will send five hundred gold to Mr. Li's residence the next day to pack a luggage, so that the queen mother's fellow countrymen will not lose their dignity and lose face because of a few things in the capital."
This... Unexpectedly, Li You, who picked up five hundred taels of silver for nothing, came to the conclusion that educated women are actually easier to deceive than ignorant shrews on the street, especially women who live in the palace...
Thousand years of age has given me such a gift, and I want to express my gratitude. Although Li You did not lack the five hundred taels, he could only step forward and bow deeply three times, and said with emotion: "Your Highness is so kind to me. I have taught you Ming Gan Wu Nei, but I don't know how to repay you! I will never repay you in this life!"
