Poor Family Chapter 276

Chapter 276, sister-in-law and brother-in-law have all

When the sun was setting, the emperor's dragon chariot was about to drive back to the palace. At this time, Shi Fuyin came out of the room where the empress dowager was resting.

"sister."

Shi Fuxin has been paying attention to the movement in the wing room, and when she sees Shi Fuyin coming out, she hurried over.

Shi Fuyin took a look at the sizing eyes cast by the women in the side hall, and instead of going there, she and Shi Fuxin walked around Xiangguo Temple together.

Shi Fuxin looked at her sister's expression: "Sister, what did the Empress Dowager tell you?"

Shi Fuyin was a little silent, and she spoke after a while: "The Empress Dowager said that the title of the Uncle Wuchang's Mansion will be lost in the hands of my grandfather, and once my grandfather leaves, I will only be the daughter of a military commander. She is not qualified to be the official wife of An Guogong."

Shi Fuxin frowned: "The Empress Dowager still wants you to be a concubine for Duke An?"

Shi Fuyin shook her head: "No, the Empress Dowager said, Master Wuxiang said that I am destined to have many sons, and that I and An Guogong are a match made in heaven. She can marry me and Xiao Ziqing, but I have to promise her one condition."

Shi Fuxin: "What condition?"

Shi Fuyin took a deep breath: "I must give birth to three sons for the Xiao family, otherwise I will not be allowed to enter the Xiao family tree, and I will not be buried in the Xiao family's ancestral grave after death."

After Shi Fuxin heard this, she didn't speak.

Are the conditions of the Empress Dowager harsh?

For women, it is of course harsh. After all, having a child is a hell, and the birth of children is not controlled by human beings at all. Three sons, her sister does not know how many children she will have to complete.

But from the standpoint of the Empress Dowager, she wanted the Xiao family to prosper, and for this reason she gave up marrying Xiao Ziqing a noble wife. It is not difficult to understand such a request.

Shi Fuyin suddenly laughed: "I used to read the scripts, no matter if a poor scholar married a noble girl, or a girl from a poor family married a noble girl, their life was prosperous."

"Now that I have experienced it myself, I understand that there is no such thing as taking it for granted in the world. If you don't offer some real value in exchange, how can the nobles and dignitaries like you."

Shi Fuxin nodded: "So when it comes to marriage, it's better to get married."

At this time, the sound of dragon horns came from the front hall, and the emperor was about to return to the palace.

The two sisters stood in place and waited for a while, and saw the female relatives walking towards the front hall one after another.

When the family members came over, the two sisters joined the family members.

Although Mrs. Shi and the others wanted to know what the Empress Dowager and Shi Fuyin said, but there were too many people around, so they suppressed their curiosity and didn't ask further.

The main hall of Xiangguo Temple is the place where the royal family prays for blessings. It is built higher than other temples, with dozens of steps.

When the female relatives arrived at the front hall, they all stood on both sides of the stone stairs in the main hall, respectfully sending the emperor back to the palace.

On the steps, the dragon flag fluttered, and the dragon banner opened the way. The emperor in yellow dragon robe walked down slowly surrounded by all the officials.

After the emperor and his entourage passed by, the female relatives on both sides raised their heads and followed the man, leaving Xiangguo Temple.

Everyone left together, it was unavoidably crowded, the family members of the Shi family stood at the back and waited for a while.

"Look, it's Young Master Yao!"

Shi Fuxin followed the whispered exclamation of the girls around, and saw Chu Yao in a moon-white robe, holding a folding fan, surrounded by a group of royal children, walking down the steps with a smile.

"Actor!"

Looking at the unruly Chu Yao with a smirk on his mouth, Shi Fuxin was very moved. Who would have thought that such a Chu Yao would be the head of the Special Supervision Department, the largest intelligence organization in Beijing.

There are also those second-generation ancestors behind him, many of whom are also members of the special supervision department. But at this moment, they will be completely acting like dudes.

Hey, these days, it's really hard to get along in the capital without any acting skills.

Meng Moling didn't know what he said, but suddenly Chu Yao laughed loudly.

When Fuxin saw it, her eyes straightened immediately, and she sighed loudly in her heart, Chu Yao really lost that handsome face for nothing, if it grew on someone else, maybe she would still have a chance to have it.

What a shame, what a shame.

Chu Yao was very sensitive to some malicious gazes. When he raised his eyes instinctively, he met a pair of regretful eyes.

Round pomegranates!

Chu Yao was a little puzzled, what does this girl mean?

Pity?

What regrets could she have about him?

When Shi Fuxin saw Chu Yao looking over, she immediately looked back, not to be outdone, and even raised her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Chu Yao snorted, and took a deep look at Shi Fuxin.

Looking at it, I was surprised to find that the former fat girl seemed to have grown up a lot. Although she was still rounder than the lady next to her, she had already grown into a slim figure, with her neck raised and her face full of air, she seemed to be raised by him. The peacock with its tail open.

Thinking of the peacock spreading its tail, Chu Yao wanted to laugh a little. When passing by the female relative, he glanced at Shi Fuxin and walked straight past.

When he got on his horse at the gate of the temple, Chu Yao looked back again.

At this time, Shi Fuxin was chatting and laughing with Shi Fuyin, and even shook her neck triumphantly.

As the neck swayed, the steps on the head swayed slightly, and the girl talked and laughed, her bright and romantic appearance was very eye-catching.

"Pity!"

Chu Yao suddenly sighed.

Yuan Pomegranate is courageous, smart enough, looks harmless to humans and animals, but hides evil inside. He neither cares about the opinions of others nor is afraid of offending others, which is very in line with his criteria for finding a wife.

Unfortunately, the status is too low.

"What's the pity?"

Meng Moling heard Chu Yao's muttering, and hurriedly asked.

Chu Yao glanced at Shi Fuxin again, and said calmly: "It's nothing." Then he rode forward.

After returning home from Xiangguo Temple, Shi Fuyin was called by Mrs. Shi to Yixiang Hall. Knowing what they were going to say, Shi Fuxin went straight back to Lanyue Tower.

After taking a bath, Shi Fuxin asked Mother Leng to come in and wipe her hair.

During the period, Shi Fuxin told Nanny Leng what the Empress Dowager said to Shi Fuyin: "Mommy, do you think it is good or bad for my sister to marry An Guogong?"

Nurse Leng kept wiping her hair, thought for a moment, and said, "Whether a marriage is going well or not depends on the family, and it depends on whether the two families can complement each other's resources and make each other successful."

"The benefits of getting married between Uncle Wuchang's Mansion and Duke Anguo's Mansion are obvious, but Duke Anguo's mansion may not get any benefits. This is also the main reason why the Empress Dowager is unwilling."

"As for the two newlyweds, it depends on whether they will become better than before after they get married, and whether they will live happier and happier lives."

"In the eyes of this old slave, it is the best choice for Miss An to marry Duke An."

"First of all, the third girl has affection for An Guogong. It is very lucky for a woman to marry someone she likes."

"Again, Mr. An is able to beg the Empress Dowager for the sake of the third girl. It can be seen that he also likes the third girl."

"In other words, the third girl and An Guogong like each other. With this foundation, after getting married, even if there are difficulties and conflicts, the two will consider each other."

"As long as husband and wife know how to understand each other and feel sorry for each other, then life will not be too bad."

Shi Fuxin didn't answer after hearing this. She was actually pessimistic about relationships.

People are fickle.

After decades of time, who can guarantee that his mind will never change?

Who can guarantee that he won't fall in love with other people and only be devoted to one person?

When the Shi family knew that the Empress Dowager was going to point out Shi Fuyin to An Guogong as his wife, they were really surprised and happy. After returning from praying at the Xiangguo Temple, they looked forward to the decree of the marriage every day.

Who would have thought that before the decree referring to marriage came down, the letters from Shi Dingxuan would come first, and there were two letters, one in front and one in back.

"What? Mr. Song is critically ill and entrusted Miss Song to Wulang?!"

In the first letter, Shi Dingxuan told his family that Mr. Song was plotted against by someone when he was handling the case.

Regarding this, the Shi family members were silent.

Song Jiusi is a top-notch master of the ninth rank. He has been in charge of the southern general arresting yamen for more than 20 years, but he was plotted against and could not end well. Shi Dingxuan became the son-in-law of the Song family. Will he also be in danger?

"Look at the second letter!"

Master Shi quickly opened the letter, then looked at Jin Yue'e and Shi Zhenghe in a daze, "Boss Song died violently the night he was poisoned. Before he died, he watched Wulang and the girl from the Song family pray to heaven and earth."

Jin Yue'e and Shi Zhenghe were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with joy on their faces: "We have a daughter-in-law!"

Old Master Shi and Mrs. Shi were speechless after seeing the couple's reactions.

Goro is the most promising son of the Shi family, the old couple are not very satisfied with this marriage of the Song family.

But now everything is a foregone conclusion!

Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin also stared at each other.

"It's still my elder brother who is amazing. He has added a daughter-in-law to our parents and a sister-in-law to us in less than a year after leaving the capital."

At the same time, the emperor also received the news of Song Jiusi's sudden death, and also learned that Song Jiusi entrusted a pair of children to Shi Dingxuan when he was dying.

In this way, Shi Dingxuan took over the Song family's connections and power behind him.

When Shi Dingxuan was sent to the south to be the chief arrester, the emperor originally intended him to take over Song Jiusi's position.

Compared to children from aristocratic families, the emperor prefers to use people without roots.

Although Shi Dingxuan is also a child of the uncle's mansion, in the eyes of the emperor, the uncle's mansion of Wuchang is tantamount to having no title. It was suppressed for decades during the former emperor's time, and it has long since declined. Basically, there is no way to provide Shi Dingxuan. any help.

Since Shi Dingxuan's time to go to the southern chief arresting yamen is too short, the emperor thought about it, and issued an imperial edict for Shi Dingxuan to temporarily act as chief arresting officer.

The chief arresting yamen in the south, the prime minister of the Jianghu sect in the south, although dangerous, has a lot of power in his hands.

Many rivers and lakes cases will involve local officials and gentry, among other things, the chief arresting yamen in the south definitely knows a lot about all kinds of information about officials in the south.

Besides, officials in the capital had many contacts with local officials. Therefore, after knowing that Shi Dingxuan had become the acting chief arrester of the southern chief arresting yamen, the honorable officials began to pay attention to the Wuchang uncle's mansion again.

After this, the Empress Dowager issued an order to point Shi Fuyin to An Guogong as his wife.

As soon as this decree came out, all the honorable officials were stunned!
