Xie Yunjin immediately knew who Miaomiao's father was, Zheng Zhixing.
Xie Yunjin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Did you see Zheng Zhixing?"
Lu Jiao nodded, looked at him and said, "Guess where he is now? What is he doing?"
Xie Yunjin thought about it carefully, and said, "He can't be the newly appointed magistrate of Qinghe County."
Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You are too good."
Xie Yunjin originally just cooperated with Lu Jiao in guessing casually, but he did not expect that he really guessed right.
His face turned cold all of a sudden, his eyebrows and eyes were full of cold frost. As his classmate, Zheng Zhixing had a good relationship in the past. He naturally knew that he and Xie Daqiang had a bad relationship, but now he chose to win over Xie Daqiang. It was obvious that he wanted to Lure Xie Daqiang to do something.
The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more unsightly his complexion became, and it took him a long time before he said mockingly: "He is really good at scheming, and he actually got a job as a seventh-rank county magistrate."
According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tong Jinshi must enter the academy as a master and teach for three years, and then he must take the Imperial Academy's scientific examination, and only those who pass the exam can be released as officials. The county magistrate, this shows that there are people above him.
Lu Jiao snorted coldly and said, "He was scheming, demoted his wife to a concubine, and married another noble girl. Do you know who he married? A concubine from the Nanyang uncle's mansion."
The sneer at the corner of Xie Yunjin's mouth grew stronger, but he underestimated this person's shamelessness.
In the past, I only knew that he would be sour, jealous, and eccentric, but now I know that he is shameless and shameless.
In the carriage, when Lu Jiao mentioned this, she thought of Zhu Baozhu who had been hurt. At that time, she was looking forward to her husband's high school, but once he passed the exam, he actually demoted her to be a concubine. One can imagine how this happened to her. blow.
The more Lu Jiao thought about it, the more she felt that women in this era are not easy, she suddenly looked at Xie Yunjin and said.
"Yun Jin, I want to tell you something."
Xie Yunjin knew that Lu Jiao liked Zhu Baozhu very much, and now Zhu Baozhu has ended up like that. She must be feeling uncomfortable, Xie Yunjin looked at her tenderly: "Say it."
"I want to set a house rule for our family."
"What house rules?"
"Only when a man is forty and childless can he take a concubine."
In fact, Lu Jiao wants to say that concubines are not allowed for the rest of her life, but she knows the importance of sons in this era. If you don't have a son, you will be called out of business, and even say that you have done too many bad things, so you have no son. , Some families can't even keep their family property because they don't have a son, which shows the importance of a son.
So she only ordered concubines for men who have no children at forty, and men can have children after the age of forty.
Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao's words and did not object at all. He himself does not take concubines, and it is right for his son not to take concubines.
He turned his head and looked at the four little guys in the carriage: "Did you hear the family rules set by your mother? The family rules of our family are that men who are forty and childless can take concubines. If you dare to take concubines casually concubine, or provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, they will be expelled from Xie's house."
Xie Yunjin's expression was serious, his brows and eyes were indescribably serious.
The four little ones naturally kept this family rule in mind, and they all responded in unison: "Father, we heard it, and we will do it."
Xie Yunjin nodded in satisfaction, Lu Jiao hit a stick and gave a sweet date on one side, and said with a smile: "But you can marry the daughter-in-law you like, if you don't like it, your parents will not force you, if you meet in the future You can come and tell your parents, we will take care of your eyes for you, if possible, you will marry."
Don't look at someone who is out of tune, that won't work either.
But when she said this, the four little ones were quite happy, and immediately smiled happily and said, "Mother, we know."
The family stopped talking about the Zheng family, and talked about all the things that happened at today's wedding banquet.
In the evening, as soon as Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao returned to Xie's house, Zhao Heng hurried back after him.
Zhao Heng rode the horse, while Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao rode in the carriage. Because Lu Jiao was pregnant, Lin Da drove the carriage very slowly, so when they came back, Zhao Heng followed closely behind.
As soon as he came back, he came to report: "Madam, Zhu Xiaoniang is very grateful for Madam's kindness, but she returned the money. She said that she is now in Zheng's mansion, acting like a prisoner, except for her own yard. It doesn't work."
At the end of Zhao Heng's speech, his heart was astringent. Seeing the girl who used to be upright and lively, now she was as stiff as a walking dead, he just felt very uncomfortable in his heart. If this was his own daughter, how could he bear it.
After hearing Zhao Heng's words, Lu Jiao knew that Zhu Baozhu's condition was more serious than she imagined.
The Fang family obviously wanted to grind Zhu Baozhu to death, if Zhu Baozhu stayed in the Zheng family, he would surely die.
Lu Jiao turned to look at Xie Yunjin who was on the side, and said softly, "Yunjin, if I intervene in this matter, will it cause you any trouble?"
"If you want to do it, do it."
Xie Yunjin said.
Lu Jiao nodded, looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Go to Zhu's family and ask them what they mean? Do they just watch their daughter die like this, or do they want to save her life? If their family wants to save their daughter, let them Their family wrote a pleading paper, hand it over?"
When Lu Jiao said this, she turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin and said, "As a co-prefect, it seems that you don't care about the prison lawsuit, Mr. Hu is in charge of the prison lawsuit."
Xie Yunjin nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to Lao Hu, and he will accept the Zhu family's pleadings."
Lu Jiao nodded, looked at Zhao Heng, and said, "Let Zhu's family write a certificate and pass it to Hu Tongban. Hu Tongpan will send someone to Zheng's house to bring Zhu Xiaoniang out. This will save Zhu Xiaoniang's life."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhao Heng responded and went to do the matter.
Lu Jiao turned her head and looked at Xie Yunjin who was on the side: "Thank you husband."
Although they had various conflicts at the beginning, to be honest, it was her luck to meet a self-conscious man like Xie Yunjin. Women in this era are really suffering.
Xie Yunjin shook her hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about other people's affairs anymore, go to sleep quickly."
Lu Jiao smiled and went back to bed with Xie Yunjin.
The Zhu family actually loves Zhu Baozhu very much, otherwise they wouldn't have raised her to have such an innocent temperament.
Their family and Zheng's family were well matched, and they married Zhu Baozhu to Zheng Zhixing because they saw that Zheng Zhixing had a future, and they watched Zheng Zhixing grow up, and he was quite a decent person.
Zhu's family never dreamed that they would be mistaken one day. After the kid passed the exam, he would directly demote their daughter to be a concubine.
As soon as the Zhu family received the news, they came to ask for an explanation. Unfortunately, they didn't even see their daughter's face. They didn't see her face, so naturally they didn't know her daughter's current situation.
When Zhao Heng came to the door and told about Zhu Baozhu's situation, Zhu's parents and Zhu Baozhu's brother directly cursed at Zheng Zhixing as a beast, and they immediately got up and rushed to Zheng's house to rescue Zhu Baozhu.
But in the end, Zhao Heng stopped her. Right now, Zhu Baozhu is the concubine of the Zheng family, so if you rush over now, you will only startle the snake.
