Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Yingchun knew that Jia Lian must have heard the emperor's ears, but she deliberately stood beside the empress dowager: "The emperor is going to play tricks on others again, so I won't be fooled by my concubines!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that crab time, his heart was full of joy, and he pointed at Yingchun and smiled: "This girl, she loves to hold grudges!"

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Welcome girl, this time, you have wronged someone. The emperor told the truth, your elder brother Rong Guohou Jia Lian is really good. He has done a lot of service to the emperor this time!"

Yingchun pursed her lips and laughed: "The empress dowager praised her, but the concubine brother is very lazy. The old ancestor told him to study the liberal arts and imperial examinations. He was afraid that he would learn martial arts at the fifth watch. Some people locked him up, he was not free, he clamored to travel like others, and he even said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. In fact, what kind of travel is he? Liu Zifang and the others got together to make trouble, and ran back to their hometown Jinling to see the weather of the old capital of the Six Dynasties. The ancestors scolded him, saying that he is not good at being an official, and that he has a good skin, and there is no hope for the country and the family."

"But he said: It's enough to have a master in the family who is an official. What do you need many officials to do? There is a precious jade for studying in the imperial examination, there is an old lady at the helm in the family, and the emperor supports the sky in the court. I just keep my law and be good. A son, a good grandson, and a good subject will become a good subject, so it’s hard to make it happen, the whole country is in the world, and I haven’t got a bite to eat!"

Yingchun is to vaccinate the emperor, because in the middle of the new year, the king of Nan'an County was defeated, and after the court negotiated peace, the emperor had nothing to do and it was time to liquidate the two anti-kings, King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi.

Jia Zhen of the Ning Mansion was involved, and someone must be far-fetched to drag the Rong Mansion. After all, although the two mansions are separated, in the eyes of outsiders, they are broken bones and connected muscles.

But when the emperor heard what Yingchun said, he felt aggrieved for Jia Lian, and waved his hands with a smile: "Hey, Ying girl's words are too arbitrary, Marquis Rongguo, maybe he is playful and lazy, but this person is still very smart." , he has a flexible mind, this time, he solved the big trouble for me."

Of course Yingchun knew that the strategy was originally given to Jia Lian by Yingchun's illusion from later generations, but she pretended to be surprised: "Really, what did the unknown brother say?"

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Yingchun's vivid ink eyes that were watery and clear, as if he wanted to suck people in, and then looked at the bright red cheeks and moist cherry lips, he couldn't move his eyes away, and swallowed involuntarily.

Yingchun here is pretending to be ignorant, flickering like a fan of eyelashes: "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Qianyuan was surprised when he heard the words, he cleared his throat, and squinted his eyes: "Well, oh, that, that Jia Lian, is very smart, isn't there an auction competition for rewards and donations? Everyone doesn't feel it, hey , He went to see the business opportunity, and he suggested that it was just the end of the year, and the emperors everywhere would go to the House of Internal Affairs to settle the settlement. This Jia Lian proposed that this year's examination and approval of the qualifications of the imperial merchants will no longer follow the previous method, but a public auction, and the one with the highest price Yes, of course, there are also corresponding preferential policies. The successful bidders will be exempted from taxes during their tenure as imperial merchants, and they will also be allowed to use the imperial waterway for free. Hey, I didn’t expect this method to be supported by a large number of merchants. The number of merchants registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to participate in the competition has reached hundreds."

The empress dowager smiled at Yingchun's forehead: "Well, the emperor was talking about this chapter just now, but I didn't understand it here. It was always the emperor's merchants who received money from the court, but now they are looking for money from the court. Wouldn't it be a loss if they want it? There are still people scrambling for it like this, it’s really rare!”

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled: "This concubine knows, because the Xue family, the in-laws of Rongfu, is a ready-made example. In general merchant families, men are not allowed to take imperial examinations within three generations, and girls are even more lowly. They are not eligible for small elections. Imperial merchants, these problems are easily solved, so these merchants are selling their honor for money!"

Emperor Qianyuan raised his thumb at Yingchun: "Smart!"

The queen mother smiled when she saw this: "Well, my palace is outdated. I only know the old saying that businessmen only chase profits for money. I didn't expect that there is something new now. Well, I think of a case, Lu Buwei of the Six Kingdoms. The emperor, that The Xue family has a lot of ambition, I'm afraid they also want to learn from Lu Buwei!"

Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyebrows: "The Queen Mother is talking about the King of Zhongyi County?"

Yingchun smiled immediately: "The empress dowager thinks too highly of the Xue family. The reason why Lu Buwei succeeded is because the master is young and weak. Our saint is in the prime of life, young and powerful, wise and wise, like the sun and the moon in nine days. What is the Xue family?" , To say that she is the light of rice grains is also a compliment, so, regarding the Xue family, the empress dowager need not worry!"

Emperor Qianyuan's mother and son looked at each other and laughed together.The queen mother said: "This is very true!"

Emperor Qianyuan didn't stay in the harem for a long time, and now the frontline food and payment is the top priority, and people must not be disturbed. He will personally supervise the candidates who bid for the qualification of the imperial merchant.Although the country needs money, it cannot be exploited by villains. Therefore, the family background of the imperial merchant candidates must be clean, and the three generations of ancestors must be clearly verified before they can be selected.

As for the process, Yingchun didn't ask.After the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Jing Zhaoyin inspected and checked, it took ten days of busy work. Finally, the rights to supply and sell the basic necessities of the palace, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea were auctioned off.The result was surprisingly good. After a group of wounded people competed fiercely, the account department finally received 480 million silver.

Before Emperor Qianyuan stopped laughing, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War made a concerted effort to requisition rice, grain and cloth on the spot, because the shops that came to compete for the imperial merchants included all kinds of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation.

Millions of silver were spent that day, and the next day, the vanguard troops escorted by the Ministry of War set off on the road.

Emperor Qianyuan was in a better mood, and ordered to fulfill his promise to reward Jia Lian.However, Jia Lian was already a marquis of super rank, so Jia Lian resigned and said that he deserved to share the king's worries because he eats the king's salary.

In the end, the minister of the upper study, Jia Lian's uncle's in-law Gong Ying, suggested that Jia Lian's meritorious service should not be as good as his mother, Mrs. Zhang.

Emperor Qianyuan also felt in his heart that if Jia Lian was promoted to the duke, he would be afraid of civil and military dissatisfaction, and he conferred the title of a deceased woman, and no one would embarrass the deceased.Therefore, Emperor Qianyuan was very generous, and with a wave of his ink pen, he gave Jia Lian's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang Chaopin.

Jia Amnesty, a scumbag, didn't ask for a seal from the Zhang family at the beginning, and Jia Lian had been struggling with it for many years, but now he was finally proud and busy talking about it, and asked Jia's mother to open the ancestral hall a few years ago, rewrite the genealogy of the birth mother, and get the plaque to be re-engraved. , After the new year, I will return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I will rebuild my mother's grave and monument and epitaph.

Mrs. Zhang, the daughter-in-law who was slammed by her before she was alive, finally stood shoulder to shoulder with her after her death.

Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable, but she promised Jia Lian to worship the ancestors, and she would change the ancestral hall tablets over the years.Jia's mother also thought clearly, if she stopped Mrs. Zhang from standing shoulder to shoulder with her, how long would she be able to stop her?

After all, one day, her old life will return to ashes, so who can control her at that time!

Jia She is ignorant and ignorant. Seeing his son Jia Lian saving Junqiao, he rushed to Gao Pan to be good friends with his brother, but Xing Shi was very angry, and her imperial title followed Jia She. Please seal it.The court was also troubled, and no one was going to investigate the lack of etiquette of Jia Lian, a dandy disciple.

As a result, Mrs. Xing's fate is now lower than that of Sister Feng. She was flustered at first, and Zhang, a dead devil who had been dead for many years, would overwhelm her. She was so angry that she ran to complain to Jia Mu. .

Mother Jia originally hated Xing Shi, especially these days, because Xing always drove Xing Yanyan into Jia Cong's house, as if she wished Xing Yanyan could have some trouble with Jia Cong to be happy.Jia's mother originally liked the girl Xing Yanyan very much, as long as Jia Cong liked Jia's mother, she would be willing to let her do it, but unfortunately, when she met Mrs. Xing's dirty bag, Jia's mother was a little unhappy.

Hearing Mrs. Xing's intentions, I became more and more bored.I don't weigh my own weight, the third-rank imperial order has already been lifted, and I don't even think about the background of Sister Zhang's Feng, who is either noble or powerful. You are an old girl who came from a poor family, and you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, a mother-in-law who was born in a noble family?

The crow wants to dream of the phoenix's nest, and you deserve it too!

But seeing that she is also a person with white hair and temples, Jia Mu suppressed her heart and sneered, and explained lightly: "The woman ordered to follow her husband, like me, to follow the Duke of the country. The boss is just a third-rank general. Your super grade is granted by the imperial court, so what is there to be wronged about your third-rank decree? Go back and take care of the boss if you have nothing to do, so that you don’t have to worry about thinking about something.”

You can't tell me about your grievances. If you have the ability, go and judge with the Holy One!

After saying that, Jia Mu got up and said, "Yuanyang, dizzy, help me to lie down!"

After Mrs. Xing went back, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she went to provoke Jia She: "Master, wake up, your wife is going to be bullied to death?"

Jia She was making fun of Qiutong Qiuyue Qiushuang's thrushes, when he saw Mrs. Xing, an old witch, he raised his eyebrows coldly, stepped forward and kicked the happy man over, spitting and cursing: "It's that dog!" The mother-in-law saw the door? Sell him for thirty boards."

In an instant, there was a burst of crying and howling outside.Mother Jia has something to say not to mess around with Jia She, but if you don’t buy it, you can, but if you don’t hit it, you can’t do it. Otherwise, Jia She can’t hear the crying, and turns around to do it yourself. Die once.

When the women outside heard this, their scalps became numb with fright, and a gust of wind rushed to snatch Mrs. Xing away.I'm afraid that the next moment, Jia Amnesty will stare again: Whoever brought the old beggar here will be beaten to death!

Mrs. Xing ran into walls all around, and went home with flatulence. In the twelfth lunar month, Sister Feng was very busy. Apart from asking the imperial doctor to ask for pulse, she couldn't take care of her very much. Showing her face every day was because she was so filial.

Because of this, Mrs. Xing caressed Xing Yanyan's handsome face, and hated in her heart. Sister Feng, a broom star, would not die, otherwise, why would her niece and daughter guard Cong'er, who is ineffective, and she would never be able to survive for the rest of her life.

When Mrs. Xing fell ill, she found an excuse for Mrs. Xing, so she simply reported her illness to Mrs. Xing, so as not to embarrass her again at the New Year's banquet. He strangled her to death so that she would not be embarrassing again when she entered the palace.

Looking back, he said that Yuanchun Yingchun sisters in the palace, because of Jia Lian's relationship, Emperor Qianyuan and the Empress Dowager were overjoyed and rewarded Yuanchun sisters with many things. Handle, one handle for the emperor, one handle for the queen mother, and one handle for the queen.

Now that the Yuanchun Yingchun sisters got it together, how many eyes are red in the palace!

Originally, Yuan Chun ordered the Kunning Palace to keep the empress a secret. Of course, he didn't just talk about rewards. What Yuan Chun said was that before the empress recovered, she should not be allowed to make the empress angry with trivial matters, otherwise she would be punished severely.

But I don't know who was talking too much, the queen finally knew that Sister Yuanchun got the red jade Ruyi, and she wished she could eat her sister, knowing how proud and honored the queen was when she got the red jade Ruyi.This is the color that only the original wife of the main room should have.Only the queen is worthy of this auspicious Yu Ruyi.

Now, two sluts of vulgar background are standing shoulder to shoulder with him!

On this day, Yuan Chun led the harem concubines to visit the queen in Kunning Palace, but the queen overturned a bowl of soup in public: "Jia Yuanchun, you are very proud now, aren't you?"

Sisters Yuanchun Yingchun stood at the front according to their positions. The incident happened suddenly and they had nowhere to hide. They were stained with half of the skirt by the soup. Fortunately, they were wearing heavy clothes in winter and the soup was not very hot. Injuried.

Yuan Chun's face remained motionless, and he turned to the empress Fushen: "Your Majesty is joking." Then, with a heavy face, he ordered: "The Empress Dowager's illness can't be delayed, cook another bowl."

Afterwards, Yuan Chun ordered the eunuch in charge of the Kunning Palace to summon all the slaves in the Kunning Palace, and said coldly: "I have solemnly stated before that the empress is not recovering from her illness, so don't bother her with insignificant things. Now, because of The empress dowager is angry with rewards, whoever among you is talking too much and disturbing the empress, you had better stand up, otherwise, the palace will invite the empress dowager, and invite all suspects to the Department of Punishment for interrogation."

In the end, Chen Nvshi of Kunning Palace stood up and admitted her mistake: "It's the minister's slip of the tongue, please forgive the minister because the empress is too ill to see her blood."

Yuan Chun knew that it was definitely not Chen Nushi who knew her mistakes, but since she admitted it, she made a mistake. Yuan Chun's trip was just to explain to the empress dowager, otherwise, it would be bad if the empress dowager misunderstood that she was not strict.

And this female history of Chen can't be serious, otherwise, others will say that Yuan Chun took the opportunity to attack Kunning Palace, maybe the emperor's heart softened for a while, and it's unknown if he let the queen out.

The queen purposely provoked trouble in public, but she wanted the Yuanchun sisters to commit crimes in a fit of anger. At that time, the queen filed a complaint, and the Xu family jumped out to push the waves. Yuanchun, the prime minister of the sixth palace It's over.

Yuan Chun sneered at Chen Nvshi: "Since Chen Nvshi admits it herself, you should be punished for violating the teachings of the palace. You must be punished to serve in the Punishment Department for three to five days after you slap your mouth. However, depending on your usual Serving the empress diligently, the empress also thinks highly of you, now that she is ill, she hastily transferred you away, which is harmful to the empress's health, so I will punish you with a small punishment and punish you by palming your palm ten times to keep your mouth open, and copying the palace rules ten times , fined for three months to show vigilance, do you accept it or not?"

Chen Nvshi was very disappointed, the Empress Dowager wanted Yuan Chun to be mean to Kunning Palace after she got angry, so that she could go to the Empress Dowager to file a complaint in front of the Empress Dowager, win sympathy, and lift the confinement as soon as possible.

The empress does not want to miss the annual banquet.

The queen learned that Yuan Chun had made an understatement, and her heart was tumbling with embarrassment. This Jia Yuanchun really didn't like oil and salt, so she smashed the medicine bowl again: "Get out, I'm not sick!"

Afterwards, the story of Yuanchun Yingchun being humiliated spread in the harem.

The emperor came to Chengqian Palace that night and had a good night's sleep.

The Palace of Yanxi Palace welcomed the Empress Dowager’s emissary, Nanny Gui, who rewarded the Spring Festival with twelve bolts of brocade, twelve heads, two white tiger skins as white as silver, and two black bear skins as black and bright as jade.

Nanny Gui blessed her body: "The empress dowager said it, she knows that De Zhaoyi has been wronged, just wait, at the annual banquet, the empress dowager will definitely make her feel proud!"
