The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

The rude words of Tong's parents-in-law and Tong Anyun are still ringing in their ears, thinking about the Long Kedo they met just now, the young man with outstanding demeanor, gentle and polite.Mayanzhu had to admit that she was moved.

It's just that the gap between her family and Tong's family is not even one star. If she really wants to marry Longkodo, she still needs to make a good plan.

With something on their minds, they felt that the cold weather was the most difficult. Fortunately, Tong's family also knew that they couldn't stay outside for too long in today's weather, so they went back after wandering around the yard for a while.

Shiliu and Erzhen naturally went back behind Duanmin and Zhuang Jing, and she found that Erniang and Mamu didn't look very well.On the surface, their expressions were the same as usual, with smiles on their faces, but Shi Liu, who was familiar with them, found that the eyes of the two were slightly cold and obviously displeased.

There were a lot of people in the room, she was puzzled and didn't say much, just stood obediently.

"Ma'am, I think it's getting late, why don't we make an appointment next time? Duanmin just came back not long ago, and the house is still busy." Zhuang Jing said calmly.

Madam Tong took out a pocket watch from her cuff and looked at it, "Oh, time flies so fast, it's already eleven o'clock in the blink of an eye. If that's the case, let's break up. We'll make an appointment next year."

Zhuang Jing rolled her eyelids to cover the sneer in her eyes.

The Hershey family hadn't found out about doing this before. Could it be that it was true that the Tong family raised the flag and sealed the Duke to give her confidence?

The Tong family was originally the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, and the Zhenglan Banner belonged to the Lower Five Banners. Her family was still in the Han Army, so the status can be imagined.Today, he is a filial person. After the death of his biological mother, he carried the Tong family into the Yellow Banner.The Tong family made great contributions in the San Francisco Rebellion, and took advantage of the opportunity to carry the Yellow Banner inlaid in Manchuria, and gave the surname Tong Jia.

The Tong family has jumped from a Han army under the Five Banners to a full army under the Three Banners. Perhaps the span is too large. Look at the majestic wife of the Duke's Mansion, who is now in charge, is starting to be embarrassed.

It was just a pocket watch, and it was worth showing off.

Really petty.

Going outside, Pomegranate looked around and saw a carriage full of things.

She saw it, and others naturally saw it too.Mrs. Tong's Mrs. Hesheli said with a smile: "This slave is really real. Hurry up and send the things to the mansion. It's not a joke to put them at the door." There are indeed some complaints on the face of pride.It seems that it is inappropriate for the fourth elder brother to put things here.

Mrs. Tong didn't see the expression of Tong's parents and daughter-in-law who hesitated to speak on her body, and the slave guarding the car over there came over. "Slave to Madam, Greetings, princesses."

Shiliu didn't know this servant, so she probably didn't belong to Yuqing Palace, or maybe it wasn't a servant that Yuqing Palace had to use, so she didn't speak rashly.

Mrs. Tong had already made a joke just now. Seeing that she wanted to speak, Tong's parents-in-law quickly rushed in front of her and said, "Are you the servant of His Royal Highness?"

The slave was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The servant is the fourth elder brother who is serving by the side. The fourth elder brother was entrusted by His Royal Highness to help give gifts to Gege of the Shi family. When you arrive at Shigege, let the servants wait to deliver the things to Shigege in person."

The fourth elder brother is not familiar with pomegranate, and he is not very old, so it is inevitable that he will not think about things.In his opinion, since he met pomegranate in Tong's mansion, he can just take it back directly, and he can save a little travel.I don't even think about whether it's appropriate to do so.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Shiliu stood up decently, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, just a little bit, please go back and have tea to keep warm." Shiliu signaled to the maid who followed her to reward her.It's a cold day for people to wait outside, so they should really give something good.

"Don't dare, this is the gift list, Shi Gege please have a look." Although no one dares to withhold the crown prince's things, the gift list is still good for the owner.

The maid took it and handed it to Pomegranate. Pomegranate opened it and looked at it for a few moments, then heard someone behind him laugh out loud: "Some people are really thick-skinned, so they just make people laugh."

Mrs. Tong mistakenly thought that the things were for the Tong family, but it turned out to be a gift from the fourth prince to help the prince. After losing such an adult in front of everyone, Mrs. Wu Ya and Mrs. Li felt that the bad breath in their hearts had finally come out.

Makes you shudder, slap in the face this time, right?

"Shi Gege, I don't know if I have the honor to see what the crown prince has given me." She also knew that this request was a little too much, but in order to add trouble to the Tong family, she couldn't care less.

Shiliu calmly put away the list in her hand, "This madam was joking, but it's nothing but a full-length mirror. If you are interested, Shu Yuan will personally post a post some day and invite ladies and gentlemen to enter the house to see clearly. "

I don't know if the prince can predict the future, but Wanrou showed off her palm-sized small mirror, and then he sent a large one-meter-high full-length mirror.What else to say, let her use it first, and find a better one in the future to replace it.

Even though she is a child now, she has no affection for the prince, and her ears are red with embarrassment.

A palm-sized small mirror looks like a baby. If she sees this full-length mirror given by the prince, she will die of jealousy.

Although she can't wait to show off in front of Wanrou now, it will make Wanrou lose face.But I still remember that this is the residence of the Tong family. If she did it, she would not only slap Wanrou in the face, but also offend the Tong family.

Therefore, even if the lady she didn't know was looking eagerly, she ignored it.She doesn't want to get involved in the grievances between this person and the Tong family.

Erzhen noticed that she was looking at Wanrou, and there was something she didn't understand, so she smiled happily.My heart said that it made you feel embarrassed, and I gave it to the sixth elder brother, and I am not afraid to say that it will bring trouble to the Dong'e clan.

Are you beaten now?

If the prince doesn't give it away, he will give it away. If you give it away, it will be a big one. What is your small mirror the size of a palm.

She decided to write a post when she got back, and let everyone take a good look.

Sai and Lishi felt unwilling and did not dare to offend Pomegranate, so they could only shut their mouths regretfully.

Knowing that the fourth elder brother brought the things to the Shi family Gege for the prince, Mrs. Tong's face was a little ugly, and she secretly complained that the fourth elder brother would not be able to do things.It's for the Shi family, if you send it, it's over, what's the matter with leaving it at the door.

After all, it wasn't the Tong family's own, and the work was not reliable.

And the elders, why didn't they say it in the room just now, if she had said it earlier, she wouldn't have made such a joke.

Mrs. Tong blamed others for her fault, and she didn't even think about it. If she didn't show off so eagerly, but asked clearly, she wouldn't make such a mistake.

On the way back, Duan Min deliberately pulled Pomegranate into her carriage, "Tell me, what's going on?" Why did the servants of the fourth princes bring the things here, and I still pointed it out to her.

Shiliu took the letter written by the prince to Duanmin, "Actually, it's nothing. The prince knew that the fourth elder brother was going to leave the palace, so he asked the fourth elder brother to help him send something." Explain, "The things are all passed through the Ming Road, and some of the things in it were personally selected by the Empress Dowager."

"Originally His Highness wanted to come here in person, but the emperor ordered him to do something, and he happened to meet the fourth elder brother again, so he simply asked the fourth elder brother to do so." The prince wrote this clearly in the letter.

Since her daughter was still young, Duan Min was not shy, so she took the letter and read it carefully.After reading it, she gave the pomegranate back.According to this, it seems that the status of the daughter's crown princess has been settled, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

"You can't just accept His Majesty's things. I remember we brought some special products. In addition, I asked you, Ama, to find a few rare calligraphy and paintings, and send them to the prince sometime." Only with reciprocity and reciprocity can the relationship last.

She understands this truth. "Emiang, you also know that my daughter can only sell flowers and plants. The flowers and plants we brought are about the same, and the rest is not easy to send to the prince. I just want to wait until I go back. From our garden in Hangzhou Get some good ones in the store and send them to His Highness when the time comes."

Duan Min pondered for a moment, and after her daughter said this, she realized that her daughter really didn't have much to hand.If the daughter will only marry an ordinary official family or a clan in the future, these are enough.But it's the prince, the daughter is not enough.

"I think you are good at drawing, why don't you just draw a picture for the prince and mention a poem." Regardless of her young age, the daughter can calm down.

When she first arrived in Hangzhou, her daughter didn't speak Chinese well, and she couldn't write well. She was afraid of embarrassing the family, so she pestered Shi Wenbing to find a female husband who could read and write.In two years, only two years, my daughter's handwriting is even inferior to the female teacher who taught her.

After writing well, she started to learn to draw again. Although she had only learned it for three months, she felt that she could draw very well, not like a beginner at all.

Duan Min also has his own little thoughts.

The emperor and the empress dowager love Chinese very much, and letting them know about their daughter's talent can also give her a good impression.

In this royal family, it is not enough to only have the goodwill of the prince, but also to find a way to make the high-ranking people like it.

Painting?

Pomegranate has a problem, like to strive for perfection.For example, when practicing calligraphy, other people's good points are just average in her opinion.She learned the hairpin lower script of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and only when she copied it was the same as the founder, she thought it was acceptable.Only when she has her own unique style and pride on this basis, will she be satisfied and feel that she has learned a lot.

Zanhua Xiaokai is now successful in copying, but it is still far from forming its own style.

As for painting, she feels that she doesn't even have a shape.Such a painting, how dare you take it out and give it to the prince.

Seeing her daughter's reluctance, Duan Min didn't force it. How could her own daughter not know what she was thinking.She thought for a while, and said: "Otherwise, you should learn how to play the net with Xiu Niang. This is simple, and with your understanding, you can definitely learn it before the feast."

Make a net?

I have never been exposed to pomegranates, so I don't know if it is difficult or not.Also, "Wouldn't it be too light of a courtesy?"

She had a flash of inspiration, "Why don't I go to the temple to ask the Empress Dowager for a peace talisman?" The Fayuan Temple in the capital is very famous, and it is said that it is also very effective. Many noble ladies in the royal family in Beijing like to go there.

Duan Min thought about it in his heart, asking for a peace talisman is simple, but if he is sincere, he will have to stay in the temple for at least seven days, and there will be time when the time comes.

In this way, she agreed.

Erzhen learned that Shiliu was going to Fayuan Temple to ask for a safe talisman, so she didn't care about taking a rest, so she took a pen and wrote a post when she returned to her room.She still hasn't forgotten about Wanrou showing off the glazed mirror.

She saw the big dressing mirror given by the prince, it was really gorgeous.The mirror is inlaid with high-quality red sandalwood, and the carvings on it are lifelike.

She couldn't swallow such a good thing without letting Wanrou see it.

The sixth elder brother, the sixth elder brother all day long, I don't know, I think the sixth elder brother is the emperor's son.

Time was running out, so she set the time for the day after tomorrow, but it was a pity that Wanrou didn't come.It is said that she was punished and grounded by her Ama.

Wanrou didn't come, but a lot of noble girls did come, Erzhen took them to see the glazed mirror, she didn't believe that Wanrou could be confined for a lifetime, sooner or later she would come out.At that time, she must make a good laugh at her.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Erzhen and Shiliu got into the Shi family's carriage and went to Fayuan Temple to pray.

As the end of the year approaches, many people go to pray for blessings, most of them pray for a safe and smooth year ahead, and some girls as old as Erzhen pray for a good family next year.

The Shi family had already greeted them in advance, and the abbot of Fayuan Temple had reserved a small yard for them.

"Forgive me, the two benefactors. There are too many people in the temple today, so I can only clean up such a courtyard for two people."

Fayuan Temple is full of incense all year round, let alone now.To be able to vacate such a yard for the two of them, it happened that they checked out and left the day before yesterday.

"Little master, you're welcome. This yard is very nice. Please take care." Shiliu and Erzhen returned their greetings.

The two of them didn't bring many people, they were two maids who waited on them, a few nuns who were rough envoys, and guards.The yard is too small, and people can't let people make do in the yard in winter. These guards sent people to the temple, but they were sent away by pomegranate.

Whether it's the close maids of the Shi family or the mothers who are rough envoys, they all know how to fight, especially the mothers, many of whom have been trained as regular soldiers.

These nuns, five or six big guys don't even want to get close.

Therefore, even if the guards were sent away, the two of them did not panic.

There are limited rooms in the small courtyard, and Shiliu and Erzhen live in the middle room, sharing a bed for the two of them.In the compartment outside the two of them, there are still mothers and maids who are on duty at night, and the remaining mothers and maids are divided into two groups to sleep in the left and right rooms.This way they can come over in time if something happens.

The days before were very peaceful, the two of them got up early every day and went to the main hall to pray for blessings, and when they came back, Pomegranate practiced netting.

until the last day,

"Gege, the crown prince is here."

Pomegranate was startled, the prince is here?How could he come here.

Looking at the clothes on her body, she saw that there was nothing wrong with seeing a guest, so she tore the clothes a little and followed Mammy out.

Yinfeng stood in the yard with his guards, staring at the trees in the distance in a daze, and turned his head when he heard the movement.

"Greetings to Your Highness." Before she could squat down, Yinfeng pulled her up.

"I'm here to pray for the Queen Mother, I never thought I'd meet you here." Emperor Kangxi died young when Hesheli died young, and Yinfeng would go to the temple to offer incense every year after he was sensible, talking about his past year In addition, I also pray that Erniang will have a good family and live a good life in her next life.

Fayuan Temple has a great reputation and is close to the capital, so it is the first choice.

Originally, he was going to leave after offering incense. There are many people here, and it is not good to be seen through as the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty after staying for a long time.As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw a familiar girl, and he recognized that girl as the maid who often accompanied Pomegranate.So I called someone over to ask questions, but I didn't expect pomegranate to be here.

Shiliu didn't force herself to salute, she took advantage of the situation. "It's not because of His Highness. His Highness gave you too many good things, and I have nothing to return. Why don't I just come here to ask for a peace talisman, and wish Your Highness all wishes and success in the next year."

"Oh?" Yinfeng didn't expect that Pomegranate came to Fayuan Temple because of himself.

Shiliu nodded, and by the way asked someone to take out the safe talisman that had been put away.She asked for three peace talismans, one for the prince, and the other for the empress dowager and empress dowager.

Yinreng took the peace talisman and hung one of them on his waist.He had already inquired about it just now, and the Shi family had been here for more than seven days, and they did their homework every day, with full sincerity.When he thought that the other party was asking for a peace talisman for himself, he felt warm in his heart.Even looking at this bare scenery is pleasing to the eye.

"Gu intends to go back, do you want to go together?" The yard is full of women, and there are no guards from the Shi family. It just so happens that he is surrounded by top experts in the royal family. It is safe to go back to Beijing with him.

Shiliu originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly some images flashed in front of her eyes.

In the painting, the prince and his party were walking on the road, when suddenly a group of black-clothed men popped out. The group of people had extremely high martial arts skills, and their attacks were ruthless.The people brought by the prince couldn't resist at all. When the rescue army came, the prince was hacked several times and was dying.

Afterwards, the prince was brought back to the palace, and when he woke up, he lost his temper and beat up many servants of Yuqing Palace, just in time for the emperor who came to visit him to see him.

The emperor was furious, and said in front of everyone that he was "cruel, born to control his mother, unbearable to be a prince", and threatened to abolish the prince at the banquet.

The prince was furious when he heard this.

At the end of the picture, Shiliu's figure flickered and she almost fell down.

"Are you okay?" Yinfeng looked at her worriedly, if he wasn't right here, Shiliu would fall to the ground. "I see that your complexion is not good, but you are not feeling well." He was so anxious that he even forgot what he called himself.

Shiliu was still in fear, she grabbed the prince's clothes with both hands without offending, "Don't go, it's dangerous." The scene was too real, just like what she saw with Daoqin before, she felt that it was something that would happen in the future.

Looking at Yinfeng's caring eyes, she couldn't just watch this man die.

She decides to change his fate.And she had an intuition that since God let her see Yinreng's future, maybe she wanted her to change it.She did so in accordance with God's will.

Danger?

Yinfeng didn't understand why Shiliu would say that, but he had to bring all the top experts this time.What's more, although he will leave the palace at this time of year, no one in the palace knows about it except the ancestor and Khan Ama.Could it be that someone is waiting for him?
