Chapter 236 The First Filial Daughter of Dajin
Ye Xiao is indeed quite like Xiao Yuan; both father and son share the same insidiousness when it comes to solving problems.
Other people's congratulatory remarks were much more generous, saying that they could use these two days to bribe the people around Liu to persuade Liu to proceed with the matter simply.
There are indeed certain standards for matters like marriage and funerals, but they have always been managed by the upper level but not the lower level.
If you want to do better than that level, it is called exceeding the limit. However, if you are at that level but your family is not well-off, it is not illegal to lower the standard.
It's just that it's not good-looking and it's easy to be bullied by others.
After visiting He Zhang yesterday, I could see that the Jiang family was poor and barely maintaining their appearance. I guess they were not well-off financially either.
After Jiang Huai's death, only Liu and her three biological children were left in the Jiang family.
There was no outsider to divide the property, so whatever was left belonged to them. I guess Liu was not willing to spend more money.
After all, the only breadwinner of the family who can earn money has lost his two sons and one daughter, and they are still unmarried, so there will be many places to spend money in the future.
It would cost too much to keep the body in casket for seven days, and Liu might not be willing to do so.
As for the face issue, it is easy to handle. Just say that Jiang Huai died in disgrace and you don’t want it to be known to everyone.
Jiang Xinyu gave He Zhang a thumbs-up in admiration and said, "That's it. I'll just go and pretend on the day of the funeral.
You two have been busy all night, so go back and sleep. There is no rush to leave it there for two days."
After sending the young couple away, Jiang Xinyu suddenly called "husband" in a coquettish voice, twisted her waist and sat on Xiao Yuan, one hand poking his chest and drawing circles.
Xiao Yuan shuddered subconsciously, and his brain raced to think about whether he had done anything wrong in the past few days.
No!
He demoted anyone who sent him a woman.
After work, I went home and didn't go out drinking with anyone.
He has been studying very hard on the books that Madam bought for him. Judging from Madam's expression last night, he must have been very satisfied.
Could it be that the lady knew that he had robbed the letter from the little emperor to her?
Not likely.
Everyone in the palace and the mansion is his. If the little emperor can hide it from him and pass the letter to his wife, then he should consider changing the emperor.
He couldn't help but doubt the purpose of the guy approaching his wife because he was so cunning.
Seeing Xiao Yuan in a daze, Jiang Xinyu pinched him coquettishly.
"What are you thinking about? I want to discuss something with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately became alert.
"You don't want to escort the coffin back to Jiangnan, do you?
Don’t even think about it, unless you take me with you.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you leave the capital, you will definitely make trouble.
My dear, you are already a mature governor, do you still have the consciousness of being the pillar of the country?
Ayu is the face of the group and you and Jin Zekang are just there to support his legs.
What business have you given up on?"
Xiao Yuan suddenly felt aggrieved, "Then I can't leave my wife.
Without my wife, I can't eat, sleep, live, breathe, or feel weak.
Wife, we agreed to eat meat once every two days. If you don’t eat it, you will starve to death.”
Jiang Xinyu was speechless, "What are you thinking? Who told you that I was going to carry my scumbag father's coffin back to Jiangnan?
He is worthy of it!
What I'm saying is that you should find some trustworthy people to help me with the work.
At that time, that bastard thought it was troublesome and did not bring my mother back to the ancestral cemetery for burial, so he bought a burial plot in the suburbs of Beijing.
Mrs. Liu couldn't bear to let her precious son travel thousands of miles back to Jiangnan with his coffin, so she would probably bury him there as well.
Find some good hands to steal his body. I don’t want him to hate my mother even after he dies.”
"Steal...steal it out and then what?"
"What? Just throw him in a random grave and bury him there. And you expect me to find him a good feng shui site?
If you think it's a waste, you can arrange a ghost marriage for the old maid who died in vain in the palace, and just make use of her as waste.
I just don't know if it would be okay for him to die suddenly and turn into a ghost.
So, if you really want to marry him in a ghost marriage, buy two Horns for him as a dowry so that he won’t be rejected.”
Xiao Yuan was speechless, "Madam, are you serious?"
"Yes, he died before I had time to deal with him. The most hateful thing is that he died in such a pleasant way.
I can’t swallow this tone no matter what I say.”
Jiang Xinyu narrowed her eyes when she saw Xiao Yuan like this, "Why, do you want to persuade me to be kind?"
Xiao Yuan quickly shook his head, "No, no, how can you repay kindness by repaying evil with kindness?
The scumbag deserves his retribution. If I sympathize with him even a little bit, it would be disrespectful to my mother-in-law.
I just want to express my admiration for your wisdom. This is a great idea, and I, as a husband, cannot do as well as you do. "
Jiang Xinyu hit him coquettishly, "That's better, I'll give you a reward when it's done.
By the way, when you go to work today, let Xiaodouzi secretly tell you that you don’t like Jiang Huai.
Don't look back and ask all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to go to the funeral to save face for you."
Xiao Yuan naturally agreed readily, and chatted with his wife for a while before leaving the house.
As a result, Jin Zekang came again not long after Xiao Yuan left. The first thing he said when he saw Jiang Xinyu was:
Congratulations, I heard your father is dying soon
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm glad you did. You've taken too much drugs."
What? Are you jealous? Do you want me to give you the recipe?"
Jin Zekang, the great and powerful man, was sitting on a horse and waving a folding fan.
"My health is fine, I don't need that stuff.
Look at you, you've taken gunpowder.
Didn't I come here to care about you?"
"Haha, don't give me that."
Jiang Xinyu said with a mocking look on her face, "You know what kind of relationship my father and I have.
Don't laugh at me, big brother. You were happier than I was when your father died.
I didn't even laugh at you, why are you rushing to ask for trouble?
What? Show me your intelligence abilities."
"What's so great about this?"
Jin Zekang calmly poured himself a cup of tea.
“I know everything I should and shouldn’t know.
Don't forget that the Jiang family is next door to the Li family.
Ever since your family member Xiao Yuan became the Marquis of Zhenguo, old man Li has been regretting his decision to do so.
On the one hand, he hated his wife and daughters for not finding him a good son-in-law, and on the other hand, he hated Jiang Huai for taking the position of his nine thousand year old father-in-law.
There was a lot of noise at the Jiang family last night, and many people from the Li family were leaning over the wall to listen for the noise.
I guess old man Li would be so happy that he would cook a few dishes and boil a pot of wine in the middle of the night to enjoy the fun.
Anyway, the Li family spread the news all over the street at dawn."
Jiang Xinyu immediately exclaimed, "Isn't the court very busy? How come there are such people who are idle and fart?"
I remember that guy was from the Ministry of Justice, but why do I feel like he is more suitable for the East Factory?"
Jin Zekang smiled wickedly, "No matter how busy I am, I can still find time to spread gossip.
Not to mention the excitement of our mortal enemy.
This old man Li is really unlucky. He didn't get a good in-law or son-in-law.
The clan offended the daughter of a noble family and the man also died and divorced his wife.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li's family was not very powerful, otherwise he would not be able to keep his official position if things really got out of hand.
After all, the Li family was caught in the act. When Mrs. Li divorced, she not only took away all the dowry but also took away the only two shops of the Li family that made money as compensation.
Old man Li lost his wife and his army. Several concubines in the family were all eyeing the little property left and they quarreled like black-eyed chickens all day long.
Poor thing. "
"Poor ass!"
Jiang Xinyu pouted, "Mrs. Li was almost killed by the drugs they gave her.
Not only did he and the clan leader not have to pay for their lives, they didn't even have to go to jail. They only took his two shops. He was still pitiful.
Madam Li was lucky enough to survive, not because he stopped in time. In my opinion, he should have killed someone to pay for his crime."
Seeing his adopted sister getting angry, Jin Zekang carefully stepped back.
"Why are you still upset?
This kind of internal family conflict is something that the officials will not investigate unless the people report it. So what's the point of getting angry if Mrs. Li doesn't file a complaint against you?
In the end, her family is useless. Don't worry, if Xiao Yuan wants to harm you, Ayu and I will be your backers."
"Ahhh, I'm so angry. If someone has been murdered, it's just a criminal case. How can it be considered an internal family conflict?"
Jiang Xinyu grabbed Jin Zekang's collar and shook him wildly.
"Change it, change it, change it quickly.
It is the law of nature that a murderer must pay for his life. The same sentence should be given to the murderer of his wife as to the murderer of his husband."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Auntie, please shake me gently. I can see that I'm too breasty."
Stars flashed quickly before Jin Zekang's eyes, and he felt that his soul could hardly catch up with his body.
He regretted it. Why did he have to make this trip?
