Chapter 1777 It’s Sister-in-Law
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Xu Hu, please ask Artai to get in touch and see what direction the new Guotou is taking over. It would be best if they are still under the control of the imperial court."
"I will make arrangements now."
After Xu Hu left, Jin Lan said: "Your Majesty, the total number of people in this caravan is several thousand. Because the old gang leader was charitable and righteous, he was highly respected by the people. Now that the old gang leader is dead, the new gang leader is the first When I come to Beijing for the first time, I have to give priority to comfort. After all, we still count on them for our Tea Horse Road."
"I have an idea. Let's get in touch with the new pot head first and see."
The so-called Guotou is a name for the leader of the caravan.
At this time, Liu Dequan walked in with small steps, bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is news from the south."
"Kong Yanhua's?"
"Yes." Liu Dequan held up a letter and presented it.
Zhao Yuanjing opened the letter and scanned it, then returned it to him and said, "Send it to the queen to read."
Liu Dequan hurriedly sent the letter to Fengyi Palace.
It happened that Yun Wu and Sister Ying were also there.
The two sisters are talking.
Yun Dai took the letter and read it, then handed it to Yun Wu and said, "Sister, I said before that I wanted to investigate the situation in Kong Yanhua's hometown. The news has been sent. Take a look for yourself."
Yun Wu hurriedly took it.
Sister Ying also hurriedly came over to take a look.
"Qiao Niang is Xian Gong's sister-in-law?" Sister Ying was surprised, "What is there that Souzi dare not admit? But since it is Sou Zi, why does Qiao Niang insist that she is Xian Gong's wife?"
Yun Dai said: "There is this custom in Kong Yanhua's hometown. If the elder brother is gone, the younger brother will marry his sister-in-law and then raise his brother's children. After all, they are nephews, just like sons."
Sister Ying was dumbfounded for a while and said: "It's so ridiculous."
Yun Wu put down the paper and said angrily: "I have heard of this kind of thing. What's going on with Kong Yanhua? Since he has already married his brother's widow, how dare he agree to marry you? This is not a liar. ?"
"According to the investigation, when Kong Yanhua was in his hometown, he was forced by his parents to get married to his sister-in-law, but he didn't have a bridal chamber, so he went to Beijing to take the gold medal exam. He has stayed in Beijing for the past few years and has never gone back." Yun Dai Said, "Judging from this situation, he actually doesn't want to get married to his sister-in-law, and he doesn't plan to go back again."
Sister Ying was about to cry: "But since we are married, we are still husband and wife, regardless of whether we have a bridal chamber or not. Besides, his parents are still alive, how can he never go back?"
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if an official in Beijing has a parent who dies, he will have to live for three years. It's not because he said he doesn't want to go back that he doesn't have to go back.
Yun Dai comforted her: "He was forced by his family and local customs, so he can't be blamed entirely. However, since his sister-in-law and nephew have already come to the door, this matter cannot be ignored. It must be explained clearly in person and resolved. Lose."
Sister Ying gritted her teeth: "I was really blind to have fallen in love with this kind of person... He dared to hide such a big thing. How dare I leave my life to him."
She hugged Yun Dai's hand and said with red eyes: "Auntie, what should I do? I... really don't want to be with him anymore..."
"You want to make peace?"
"I really want to make peace." Sister Ying lowered her head and shed tears, "But I, I..."
"You can't bear it?" Yun Dai asked.
"No." Yun Wu shook his head, "Ying'er is pregnant."
