Chastity Layman

"Wang Dejian is really crazy, he doesn't know how to live or die."

bamboo garden.

The Xu residence next door was busy packing up, and Xu Jingzong, who was preparing to move his family to Luzon, heard about what happened in the court, and immediately rushed over to plead guilty.

Xu Jingzong, who was in his seventies, cursed angrily and trembled all over.

"This damn guy, don't implicate others if you want to die!"

Xu Jingzong was really angry because Wang Dejian was his nephew. The Xu family in Gaoyang also belonged to a famous family of gentry, although it was not as good as the five surnames and seven surnames, the six surnames in Guanlong and the four families in Jiangnan, but it also belonged to the prestige of a county.

Xu Jingzong's father was also a servant of the Ministry of Rites in the Sui Dynasty. Since Gaoyang went south, the Xu family has been an official in the Southern Dynasty for generations. Later, Chen Mie entered the Sui Dynasty. He is a famous family. Like other famous families, the Xu family also has many in-laws.

This Wang Dejian was born in the Wang family of Langya. His grandfather Wang Meng was the governor of Dongheng Prefecture in Nanchen, and his father Wang Xuguan was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the two families of Wang and Xu were married for generations.

Wang Dejian is the son and nephew of Xu Jingzong's sister, and Wang Dejian married Xu Jingzong's niece as his wife.

Because of this relationship, Wang Dejian relied more on his uncle's support in his official career, so that he could become a member of Zhongshushe in the Kaiyuan Dynasty. This guy had the backing of his uncle Xu Jingzong, the prime minister, and later he had a good relationship with Li Yifu, who was also a member of Zhongshushe, and together with Li Yifu planned for the emperor to get rid of Changsun Wuji, etc., so he was later promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng and granted the title of Guiren County male.

Originally, his official career was very good. If Li Yin did not abdicate, he would definitely be a prime minister in the future.

After the new emperor came to the throne, Wang Dejian was dismissed from Yushi Zhongcheng and demoted to Dali Temple Shaoqing. It was because of Xu Jingzong's face that Qin Lang took extra care of him, but this guy was still not satisfied, and actually wanted to fight with Yuan Gongyu and others to drive Qin Lang out of the court.

He has a very reverse thinking, and he thinks he can take a gamble. The basis is that although the new emperor is supported by the Qin family, the new emperor is not that kind of young emperor after all. Just as Li Yin didn't want his grandson Wuji to take power back then.

When they helped Li Yinqian overthrow Changsun Wuji, they thought that they might be able to impeach Qin Lang and become the new emperor's confidants. They didn't naively think that they could impeach Qin Lang, but they wanted to express their attitude to the emperor by impeaching Qin Lang. They were against Qin Lang.

Who knew that the emperor was so careful with Qin Langhui now, not only did he not save them, but he wanted their lives instead.

Even Xu Jingzong was terrified when he heard the news.

Last time Qin Lang had a long talk with Xu Jingzong.

Afterwards, Xu Jingzong resigned as prime minister. He was determined to move his family to Luzon, and his sons would also be relegated to other places. However, Qin Lang also promised that he would definitely take care of them in the future. As long as he has the ability, he will still use them.

Therefore, the seventy-year-old Xu Jingzong exchanged his retirement in exchange for the Xu family's passage and the guarantee of the future of his children and grandchildren.

Wang Dejian came out at this time, isn't it killing him?

If Qin Lang thinks that this matter is planned behind his back, and that he is obedient to others, then Xu Jingzong will have good fruit to eat? Although he has a good relationship with Qin Lang and is still in-laws, the political struggle is very cruel.

Li Yin was merciless in killing his uncle, eldest grandson Wuji.

Cui Yixuan is still Cheng Chumo's cheap uncle, and Cheng Chumo mercilessly raped Cui Yixuan.

"Mr. Xu don't need to be angry. The powerful families, who are not married to each other, are intertwined. Even if Wang Dejian is Mr. Xu's nephew and niece-in-law, it doesn't matter. Wang Dejian is Wang Dejian, and Mr. Xu is Mr. Xu." Qin Lang comforted Xu. Jing Zong said a few words.

"Have you packed everything, when are you leaving?"

"A broken house is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I'm going to Luzon. There are too many things to pack. In fact, I don't think there is a need to bring too many things. Luzon is not wild. I heard that it is also very rich and lively. What do you want? I can’t buy it, but the women in the family have too many things to do.”

"I heard that Mr. Xu's good news is coming, congratulations?"

Xu Jingzong smiled.

He is over seventy years old, has already retired from office, and his hair is also gray. Recently, he actually talked about his marriage again, not to tell his children, but to find a continuation for himself.

Lanling Xiao's daughter.

It is said that the girl is only seventeen, and she is also the daughter of the Xiao family. It is shameless for her seventy to marry seventeen. But now that the Xiao family is in trouble, the marriage was negotiated quickly.

The granddaughter of the former Prime Minister Xiao Chen, Xiao Dashun, the daughter of Xiao Anjie, the former Xu Wang who joined the army.

Xiao Chen's father, Xiao Deyan, was the nephew of Prime Minister Xiao Yu, who lived to be almost a hundred years old, and was an official to secretary prison. Xiao Chen's daughter is Li Yin's concubine, if Li Yin hadn't been knocked down by that cup of deer furrow blood wine, maybe the emperor would abolish Empress Wei before long, make Xiao Shi his empress, and use Lanling Xiao Shi to suppress her The second concubine of the Qin family.

As soon as Li Yin fell, Xiao's also fell.

Xiao Chen, a servant, was dismissed, and Xiao Siye, a privy envoy, was also dismissed. Fortunately, Qin Lang cherished his talents and asked Xiao Siye to go to Anxi to fight, and be demoted to use to redeem his merits.

But this time, the Xiao family was still seriously injured.

Especially Xiao Deyan's branch, whose parents are from Lusong.

Xu Jingzong wanted to marry Xiao Dashun, but Xiao Chen agreed without shame.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu became brother-in-law with Laijia Dalang." Qin Lang said with a smile.

Xiao Dashun also has an elder sister named Xiao Datong, who was previously married to the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lai Heng, and married his eldest son, Lai Jinghui. Originally, if the Xiao family did not fall into trouble, Xiao Dashun would never be able to marry a 70-year-old former prime minister. Normally, he must marry the prime minister's son, or enter the palace, or marry a five-surnamed son.

But now the Xiao family is in trouble, and the whole family is exiled to Luzon.

Even if the in-laws are Laiheng, because of the political struggle between the court and China, Laiheng brothers and in-laws Xiao Chen almost turned against each other, so the relationship is not good, and it is impossible to protect the Xiao family now.

At this time, Xiao Chen thought that Xu Jingzong would also go to Luzon, but he went to settle in Luzon after the prime minister became an official, which was different from his long-term management. He thought that if his granddaughter married Xu Jingzong, the future Someone in Luzon also took care of it, so he persuaded his granddaughter to consider agreeing to this marriage for the sake of the family.

Poor Xiao Dashun, the second wife of Xiao, had no choice but to agree to the marriage in the end.

Xu Jingzong planned to get married before leaving Beijing. Although it was a bit hasty, the Xiao family had no choice. People, in theory, have to wear shackles all the way.

Lai Jinghui is Qin Lang's nephew, newly promoted to be the governor of Shanzhou.

Lai Jinghui's official career is not bad. After all, he is called Uncle Qin Lang, and his uncle Lai Ji is the prime minister of the court. His father had also been promoted to the third rank long ago, so Shi Brown Shanzhou Shishi joined the army, moved to the crown prince, and joined the court. Dr. San was promoted to Fang Langzhong. This time, with the new emperor's accession to the throne, Lai Ji served as Zhongshu Ling, Lai Hengjia Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Lai Jinghui also served as the governor of Shanzhou.

Shanzhou is one of the six male states, so the governor is from the third rank.

Lai Jinghui can be said to have a bright future.

In contrast, Datong's younger sister, Dashun, who married such a bad old man as Xu Jingzong, was like a tree of pear blossoms crushing a crabapple, with no future at all.

But on the other hand, Xiao Chen's branch has been expelled from Minchangliu to manage Lu Song, and Xiao Dashun will be the daughter of a prisoner who was exiled to the editor. Even Lu Song can't leave, and don't even think about marrying any famous family. , let alone enter the royal court, if you are lucky enough to marry a Luzon vassal, if you are unlucky, you may only be able to marry an ordinary immigrant.

Xu Jingzong smiled quite complacently.

Speaking of Xu Jingzong's behavior, sometimes he really has no limits. For example, after his first wife died, because he always loved his first wife's dowry maid, he actually asked the maid to change her surname, and then pretended to be a good family girl to marry him as his successor, and took his concubine as his wife. break the law.

It turns out that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She was not only close to Xu Jingzong, but also had an affair with his eldest son. Even if she became the second wife later, she never broke up the affair.

"Sanlang, the Xiao family in Lanling still has many beautiful girls, girls from famous families, who are well educated and courteous, and have a soft and charming appearance. Sanlang might as well take some of them as concubines."

Qin Lang gave Xu Jingzong a white look.

There is really no bottom line to add insult to injury and take advantage of others' dangers.

If it weren't for Xu Jingzong's alliance with him these years, Qin Lang really wanted to liquidate this old guy.

But think about it, I don't need to ask others like this. These days, talents like Xu Jingzong are the mainstream.

It is said that after many officials committed crimes, their wives and daughters were confiscated into the teaching workshop and turned into prostitutes. The most frequent ones were the colleagues and subordinates of the woman's father when he was an official.

This is the evil of human nature.

"If Sanlang doesn't want it, he can get some for his children and grandchildren. The Lanling Xiao family has a good name, and the girls are indeed very well-educated." Xu Jingzong said again.

These famous daughters are indeed sought after by the world.

In political struggles, once a loser is always easily attacked and bitten by the winner.

For example, when Li Yuan entered the customs and proclaimed himself emperor and replaced the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan immediately brought those princesses and clan daughters of Yang Sui into the palace and distributed them to the princes.

Going forward, after Yang Jian sent Yang Guang and Yang Suping to destroy Nanchen, the princesses and daughters of high-ranking officials in Nanchen also fell into the harem of the Sui Dynasty and the residences of princes and ministers.

For example, the Hongfu girl who ran with Li Jing at night was originally the daughter of an official in Nanchen.

There is also Mrs. Xuanhua who was molested by Yang Guang, who is Princess Ningyuan, the younger sister of Empress Chen, who was later confiscated into Yang Jian's palace, and Yang Guang also had Princess Chen in his own palace, but he still didn't let her go little mom.

Women from famous families are indeed high-quality marriage partners. Even if their families are defeated, such famous families are often big but not down, and it is normal to have ups and downs.

Marriage with them is a very good choice.

The well-known member of the Qin family, Ding Xingwang, has naturally married various families these years, but Qin Lang is not interested in Xu Jingzong's proposal. Although a normal marriage is an exchange of benefits, it is after all a matter of your love and my wish.

And now Xu Jingzong's behavior is obviously taking advantage of others' danger.

This kind of thing seemed a little awkward, Qin Lang didn't bother to do it.

"I'm leaving Luo too, let's go together then." Qin Lang waved his hand.
