The Jade of the Red Chamber

There was an uproar in the capital when it was reported from the court that the Holy Master had dealt with the grandson of the king of Nan'an County. The storm blows on itself.

The Rongning Second House bears the brunt, and they are more frightened than the others. After all, it is obvious to all that his family has almost become the pawn of the Zhongshun Houye's family. At the boundary, the stewards of several shops were also afraid that they would be implicated in themselves, so they took the money and ran away. In the past, it would be easy to get it back if they went to the yamen to say something. Now everyone knows that the Rongguo Mansion is about to suffer disaster, and whoever dares to take care of this matter is afraid of being involved.

The money on the public accounts in the mansion became tight for a while. Now the Rongguo Mansion is controlled by the second house. After the big house is blocked and the wall is built, even the monthly and daily expenses are not as good as the public. At that time, Mrs. Wang was still complacent and thought it was very good .

Now that the public money can only be withdrawn, but Mrs. Wang can't pass the responsibility to the big house. In the past, it could be said that the old man had a crush on a nobleman or a girl from a commoner family. I'm afraid it's useless to say it now. Renxin also provokes people to talk.

Mrs. Wang couldn't do it, so she had no choice but to reduce the servants, sell the ones bought from outside, and let the children go, but she is so cruel that even those children who have served in the mansion for several lifetimes have to be sold. The money caused complaints in the Rong Mansion, and some old women often scolded unbearably.Mrs. Wang simply took off all the masks she had put on all these years, and made a call to get people to gag and sell them.

For a while, the magnificent Grand View Garden and other places in Rongfu became deserted. Tanchun's original third-class and second-class girls were all sold off by Mrs. Wang as extras, leaving only the servants she was used to ordering. Shu Cuimo and a poor woman, this formerly glamorous "rose" can't do anything, even saying a few words to the maids who have served him for so long is blocked by Mrs. Wang with a cold face .

Mother Jia's illness became more and more serious, but she no longer had her children and grandchildren around the bed, and the daughters-in-law and maidservants competed to serve her. It was time for the imperial physician to consult her.The upper room was deserted and deserted. If it wasn't for Mother Jia's sanity, and the couple of mandarin ducks are powerful, the old lady might not be able to keep herself.

Jia Zheng was panic-stricken and hid in the study without seeing anyone, so he could still take care of his old mother.If so, the newly proud Yu Xin's family next to Mrs. Wang dared to point at Yuanyang's nose and scold her for wanting to climb higher branches: "The other day I will tell my wife to ask your brother and sister-in-law to pull out to match you, boy!" The mandarin duck went up and wanted to scratch her face and tear that stinky mouth.

Mrs. Wang used to trust Zhou Rui's family very much. This was a companion brought from her natal family. Even after breaking up with the Lin family and stealing imperial property, Mrs. Wang was not willing to send her away. things.But I don't want Leng Zixing to be treacherous. When Jia Yuanchun lost his baby, he felt that the Rongguo Mansion might not be good. He couldn't cover up the profit from lending, so he even lied about getting a large amount of capital from Mrs. Wang, including the interest. The daughter-in-law disappeared.

It took Madam Wang several months to find out that this stabbed her heart!You know, apart from Jia Baoyu, money is the most important thing in her heart now, and this didn't cost her half her life!He put all his anger on Zhou Rui and his wife, thinking that he could find out the whereabouts of Leng Zixing from them, so he didn't beat them to death, and threw them to a remote Zhuangzi to take care of them.Therefore, now Yu Xin's family took the opportunity to take the position.

In the dead of night, Yuanyang wiped away his tears and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, you have seen what happened these days. This second wife is getting more and more excessive. Except for our first-class maids, there are no other sweepers in your courtyard." The little girl and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were doing the work were sent away by the second wife. This..." Yuanyang dared not tell Jia Mu that she was not sent away but was sold to Ren Yazi by Mrs. Wang.

Sighing, Yuanyang looked around and said in a low voice: "Old lady, why don't you invite the Eldest Master and the others back? From the perspective of slaves, if the Elder Master and his family are here, the second wife would not dare to do this, and the Elder Master is filial to you." .Your current body also needs to take a good rest, how can you shed tears because of these bad things!"

Jia's mother knew that Yuanyang was really thinking of her, so why didn't she want to tear Wang's face off these days, she really regretted telling Zheng'er such an unvirtuous and unfilial daughter-in-law.Thinking of Jia Zheng's two brothers, Jia's mother's eyes were red again. The two sons really didn't expect such a big deal. Wouldn't troubles come from hiding in the study?

Gritting her teeth, Mother Jia still shook her head. The only possibility for the Rongguo Mansion to preserve the lineage was the eldest family. If they were to tear down the wall and move back now, I am afraid that the old Duke's life's hard work would not even be able to continue with his children.

But after all, Jia Mu has experienced the ups and downs of the past few decades, so she said to Yuanyang with difficulty: "You don't need to talk about your old man, my good boy, I just tell you to exchange our bodies for silver notes or give them away. Go to the bank to save it or hide it close to your body, it will be life-saving money in the future!" Yuanyang felt sad when she heard that, and tears fell down.

Jia Mu paused for a moment, then suddenly sneered twice, making the mandarin ducks tremble, and only heard Jia Mu say: "Open the sealed boxes in the warehouse, and put everything in order. The seals are hidden in the bottom of the boxes. Under the silk, tomorrow you can ask someone to send these to the second wife." After speaking, as if he had exhausted his strength, he closed his eyes and remained silent. Seeing this, Yuanyang bowed his head and agreed, and hurriedly put down the bed curtain. , I was lying on the small couch outside with my heart full of thoughts.

After the tent was lowered, Mother Jia opened her eyes, and a look of strangeness flashed across her old face like dead bark, Mrs. Wang, since you love money so much, she will give you all the belongings of the Zhen family and those illegal items. stop!Before the strange color disappeared, tears rolled down from the eye sockets. How did the old Duke's mansion come to this point?Although she didn't want to admit it and wanted to whitewash the peace, Mother Jia's actions just now showed that she had expected that the Jia family might follow in the footsteps of the Zhen family and be raided for questioning.

The next day, the mandarin ducks did as the old lady ordered, and those golden and jeweled objects really made Mrs. Wang very happy, and her attitude towards the housekeeper suddenly improved a lot.Yuanyang took the opportunity to go out a few times, quietly sold all the inconspicuous things in the old lady's body at a low price, and deposited them with the original bank notes in the bank's storage place. Just sew the receipt into her close-fitting underwear and put it on for Jiamu.

The Jia family is still alive, and the other families are not much better.On the surface, he is silent, but in private, he is busy giving gifts through relationships.Even Lin's and Zhou's were knocked on the door several times. Lin Ruhai and Zhou Bing's attitudes were very consistent.Not to mention Lin Ruhai, Zhou Bing is now privately begging to investigate the evidence of the Jia family and the Wang family of Dongning County. The Jia family is naturally the highlight for Zhou Bing, but he still hates his sister for suffering!

Nan'an County's royal family is very troubled these days. The four kings and eight kilometers are the only ones who still hold military power. The fact that the Holy Majesty took the grandson of the Nan'an County's royal family's mansion for surgery means that power will be cut today. The old princess of Nan'an is full of worries. The children and grandchildren are also running around, trying to ask the ministers who are talking in the court to take the opportunity to cover a few places, so that they can pass this hurdle safely.

At the same time, the second prince Shangdan of Qianxiang Kingdom was also very worried. His good plan of wanting to win a beauty while gaining benefits through the relationship with the Lin family was destroyed by King Jing before he even made a move. Shangdan had to give it to him. The ministers put pressure on them, hoping that they can get more benefits from the agreement and covenant.Unexpectedly, these civil servants from the Central Plains are too sharp-tongued, and they have to spit out many benefits that they have eaten in their stomachs in the past few years if they are cheap!

Although Shang Dan is in the capital, his connection with Qianxiang Kingdom has not been interrupted. The imperial court turned a blind eye to the petty actions of these subordinate countries. Laughing, and the civil servants who were negotiating with the mission, headed by Li Zhong, a scholar of Yipindian Pavilion, used their mouths one after another as if they had taken medicine, so that the mission who wanted to take advantage of it was about to cry.On the contrary, a few honest and sincere vassal states negotiated the charter smoothly, and neither party lost money.

Many ministers in Qianxiang’s country were dissatisfied with Shangdan’s delay in getting the agreement with the Celestial Dynasty, and the conditions that were passed on to the Celestial Dynasty to go back to China, and many ministers in Qianxiang’s country were dissatisfied. The second son was also a little dissatisfied, and the third prince took the opportunity to jump up, already threatening Shang Dan's status!

Shang Dan's confidant ministers who stayed in Qianxiang Kingdom quickly sent news, wanting the second prince to finalize an agreement and return to the country as soon as possible.It's just that if Shang Dan is allowed to go back in such a despondent manner, how could the arrogant second prince be willing.Therefore, Qian Xiangguo proposed a method to his important minister to "propose marriage"!

Asking a princess and noble daughter of the Celestial Dynasty to be the second prince's main concubine can not only make the Celestial Dynasty favor Shang Dan, but Shang Dan will not be afraid that he will only marry the third brother who is the daughter of a neighboring prince!What's more, maybe the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty can relax the terms of the agreement for the sake of marriage.It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!These ministers jointly petitioned the king, and the king of Qianxiang Kingdom also readily agreed that it would be better to have a closer relationship with the Celestial Dynasty. You must know how rich Qianxiang Kingdom has been through the privileges granted by the former emperor in these years, and those neighboring countries are all jealous Tight!

As soon as the news of Qianxiang country asking for a noble daughter to be the second imperial concubine spread, it aroused heated discussions from the princes to the common people in the capital. In the eyes of the common people, this prince Shangdan appeared many times, and he could be said to be a good-looking talent!Even the storyteller is ready to make up a heart-stirring story and listen to it once the emperor makes a decree to marry him, isn't it a perfect signboard?

The ministers in the Qianxiang Kingdom's mission expressed their willingness to Jinshang with confidence.

Sitting high on the throne, Shui Zhan hooked his lips, directly shattering their desire to marry the royal princess.Jin Shang said with a smile: "This is a happy event! Ladies and gentlemen, who has a daughter who is the one who prefers the second prince Shangdan? I will be the big matchmaker!"

There was no sound in the hall, all the ministers in high positions in the row, everyone knew what happened this winter, and now it is clear that they are dissatisfied with Qianxiang Kingdom's possession of the interests of the Celestial Dynasty for many years, who will be the boss?Besides, my family background is not low, why can't I find my girl in the capital, so I have to go to that small vassal country where life and death can't be seen thousands of miles away?Not to mention, this marriage may not necessarily support each other with my family.

The envoys of Qianxiang Kingdom were a little embarrassed, Shui Zhan smiled deeper, and said, "Let's leave this happy event to the Ministry of Rites. Don't worry, Prince Shangdan will choose a beautiful and beautiful lady Xu Yiqing as his wife! "

The scene in court almost turned Qian Xiangguo into a laughing stock. Shang Dan regarded it as a great shame in his life, and often got angry at the embassy.It is conceivable that the imperial concubine selected from the Celestial Dynasty in the future will not get much favor from the prince, and the fate of this tragedy is almost sealed.It would be better if the family is big, but respect is like ice, if the family background is not good, I'm afraid...

When Zhenyu heard the news, she and Shuiyang were admiring the plum blossoms at Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. The weather was cold and spring was late, but the plum blossoms were very good tonight.It was Xiumu that day, and Shui Yang specially brought people out of Lin's mansion early in the morning to enjoy it.Lin Ruhai let out a "hum" from his nose, letting the two of them slip out of sight.

It turned out that He Er came to find He San and He Si who followed Zhenyu to Zhuangzi, and he mentioned it when they reported to Shui Yang.After hearing this, Zhenyu felt a little depressed. Could it be that Tanchun still couldn't get rid of the fate of marrying far away?Although Rongguo Mansion is dirty, these girls are all very good. Tanchun is still his sister, even if he has nothing to do with him, and Zhenyu doesn't want a girl to marry someone like Shangdan!

Lin Zhenyu's extreme dislike of the second prince of Qianxiang Kingdom should also be attributed to Lord Jing. In fact, Shui Yang didn't do anything, but just collected Shang Dan's brilliant love history in Qianxiang country, meat and vegetables that He Wei collected. His style of work and the booklets and letters of his huge back house were read by his young man, but Zhenyu was heartbroken, this person's character is really bad!Where is it still romantic, look at the dirty way he supported the courtiers in exchange for taking his children into the backyard, there is no limit to how obscene!

Zhenyu was not happy, Shuiyang could tell at a glance, and glared at He Er.He dragged his own boy to the Merlin to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Touching the head that reached his shoulder, Shui Yang longed in his heart for the day when he could eat the person in his heart.Half holding Zhenyu, Shui Yang asked with a smile: "What? Are you unhappy about the Qianxiang Kingdom?"

Zhenyu curled her lips and said: "No matter what kind of girl, having such a husband will hurt her forever! Those good girls are also worthy of him? Poor..."

Hearing this, squinting his eyes, he pulled the person into his arms and hugged him, Shui Yang looked down into Zhenyu's eyes, and smiled strangely: "I can't think of my Zhenyu still has these thoughts of pity and pity! Which family is it from?" The girl called Zhenyu so caring? Huh?" The hug became tighter, and he buried his head in Zhenyu's neck, and the young man's ears turned red with the enthusiasm he exhaled.

Zhenyu smelled a strong sour smell, and shyly pushed the person who was leaning too much on her body to kiss and lick her, and said angrily: "Hmph, he will pick on what I say!"

Hearing this, Shui Yang couldn't get up anymore, he held the boy's waist and hugged him tightly between his legs, wrapped Zhenyu with his body, and made up his mind to use actions to stop his daughter-in-law's wrong thoughts!

Shui Yang became more and more intimate, gradually moving from the neck and ears to the lips. The "secret book" secretly sent to him by Manager Chen a few days ago finally came into play.When he looked up, the young man in his arms was already blushing, his eyes were blurred and he was out of breath. As soon as Shui Yang's eyes deepened, he was about to lower his head and continue, so that there was just a trace of clear jade rushing against his head.

Shui Yang was in a good mood after stealing the fish, Zhenyu's head had long been kissed into a pot of paste, and it took a long time to find his thoughts on Shui Yang's chest, blushing and gave the person beside him a twist, not Dare to move around—they are so close, how can he not know how Shui Yang will react.

Aiming at another place, Zhenyu let out a "cough". Zhenyu tried her best to ignore the "hot" atmosphere, and hurriedly continued the previous topic: "Aren't I a little worried about the girl in Jia's mansion? A life-saving straw!"

Shui Yang doted on him and let him ignore the "problem" at hand, tightened the cloak, changed his posture, so that the young man in his arms could lean more comfortably, a big cloak wrapped the two of them, forming a world of its own.The person in his arms is his, and he will eat it sooner or later, cough now...isn't he ready enough?

Rubbing the young man's face, Shui Yang said: "The Rongguo Mansion is weak, and Qian Xiangguo will not agree, so don't worry too much."

Zhenyu nestled in Shuiyang's arms, and the warm and safe atmosphere made him drowsy. When he heard the words, he nodded, and a trace of doubt quickly flashed in his mind: Rongguo Mansion is actually a first-class general's mansion now. Power and family status are not suitable, but in the original book, didn't Tanchun be recognized as the adopted daughter of Princess Nan'an?It's really dangerous to explore spring like this.However, his increasingly chaotic mind quickly made him half asleep.

Shui Yang looked at the self-conscious and squinting young man in his arms, moved his body helplessly, the lower part was still hard and aching, kissed this man hard on the lips, and the appointed man picked him up, and said to him Walk to Xiaozhu, which is shaded by plum blossoms.The hand under the cloak dishonestly touched and pinched the fleshy texture, but in the end he was reluctant to wake up this person and there was something harder and more painful underneath, so he gave up.

……

When Nan'an County Prince's Mansion heard the news, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. In the past half a month, they had run into walls everywhere. Seeing that the military power of the County King's Mansion, which is the foundation of their lives, could not be kept, it was reported that Qian Xiangguo asked to marry him. News from the princess!

The current King of Nan'an has three sons and two daughters, all of whom have already married and established a family. The grandchildren only have two granddaughters who were born on the same day.

Unlike the Lin family who had asked for grace to spare their daughter from the general election, the Nan'an County Palace wanted the girl to run in the election year, either into the harem, or to the clan.I heard that the little girl was very outstanding, with a gentle disposition, she was loved by the old concubine of Nan'an very much, she raised her next to her, her upbringing and status were half higher than her elder sister's.

Such a girl of Nan'an County Palace is naturally unwilling to allow him to marry far away into the feudal kingdom, but it is imperative to marry Qianxiang Country, if it is done, the Holy One can at least treat Nan'an County Palace with mercy for the sake of the girl's marriage No matter how bad it is, it can be eased for a while with the power of Qianxiang Kingdom.

Thinking about it this way, the Wang family of Nan'an County paid attention to the other families of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but these four kings are of the same status as them, and the Beijing Palace is still hereditary, with a higher status, even if they move, they will take care of them Not to himself, the only one left is Hachiko, after many choices, the Nan'an Palace took a fancy to the Rongning Second Palace.

From the point of view of birth, it is natural that Jia Xichun, the daughter of Ningguo Mansion, is more suitable, but Nan'an County Wangfu wants to recognize other girls as his disciples. From this point of view, it is Jia Tanchun, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion. up.

"I heard that Mrs. Jia is ill." The old concubine of Nan'an came to visit her in person. The Rongguo Mansion was naturally a little apprehensive. It's all on equal footing, and, even though it's a precarious time, the Jia family is more dangerous.

The old concubine of Nan'an made an excuse to take a good look at the two girls from Jia's mansion and Xue Baochai, the guest lady. The more she looked at Tanchun's delicate and beautiful face like three spring peach blossoms, the more satisfied she was, she couldn't help holding her hand and asking a lot of questions. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I didn't say something rash. With such a temper and such a good appearance, how can I make my parents-in-law feel unsympathetic if I become a daughter-in-law for someone else?"

Tanchun was so ashamed that his cheeks seemed to be smeared with rouge, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's eyes were shining brightly for a moment. Could it be that the Nan'an County Palace is interested in Tanchun?If you can marry into the county prince's mansion, even an unfavorable concubine is a good move!The Jia family can get another help.After all, it seems that Nan'an Palace is only afraid of losing the military power in its hands, and the title and family are not hindered.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and dared the sisters to go talk elsewhere.

Xichun smiled and led Tanchun, who was blushing, to go out, and Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable following behind her--now she will be married soon, but there is still nothing to do with her marriage. Zijuan's aunt's status is already firmly established, and seeing his tired and inactive appearance, he is really not a good match, but her mother pointed to her aunt's house to rescue her brother, but she dared not refuse this marriage.Thinking of this, Baochai's eye circles turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be blinded by the wind, and suppressed her sadness.

Here, Baochai teases Tanchun with a strong smile, and so does Xichun. The two of them seem to be bickering with each other, but they are all teasing Tanchun.

Tan Chun was surprised and happy in his heart, now he blushed and stamped his feet coquettishly and said: "You two are unreasonable, and you use me as a human again, I will avoid you."

Aunt Zhao poked her head out, happy and worried on her face, twisted her handkerchief and finally did not dare to come up to hold Tanchun to talk, for fear of offending his wife and ruining Tanchun's happy event.

The old concubine Nuonuo of Nan'an didn't say anything for a while, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang thought she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to talk about it during the National Filial Piety, so they hurriedly told the maids and women who were serving them away.

The old concubine of Nan'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said that she wanted to recognize Tanchun as her adopted daughter and her relatives. Of course, she had to be tactful and embellished a lot.After hearing this, Mother Jia's face became a little ugly. This is to take away her own girl!

Seeing that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had heard this, the old concubine of Nan'an bowed her head without saying a word, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want the third girl to marry from the Rongguo mansion, but Qianxiang is a vassal state, but there is something wrong with this family. I'm afraid it's not right." He held Jia Mu's hand and persuaded: "Now that our old families are in stormy weather, we have no choice but to do this. Besides, the third girl married and became a princess. This Prince Shangdan is Qian Qian. As for the next king of Xiangguo, the third girl will be a proper queen by then! Even though she is recognized by my name, is it just a formality? Our four kings and eight princes are all in the same spirit, and they are the ones who support us through the difficulties At this time, old matriarch, don't worry, with my Nan'an palace here, I have to help my daughter's mother's house!"

When these persuasive and threatening words were spoken, both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang thought about who they were, and even Yuanchun, who was a hundred times more favored than Tanchun, still said that Xiaoxuan was sent to the palace. Be a slave.After a long while, the two looked at each other before nodding in agreement.

The three of them began to discuss the specific actions of this matter again. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang naturally wanted to seek more benefits and support for the Jia family.The three whispered to each other, but outsiders did not know.

At this time, Aunt Zhao, who was leaning against the window and eavesdropping with a loving mother's heart, was pale, and came out holding her breath, and then stumbled towards Qiu Shuangzhai, who was exploring the spring in the Grand View Garden.

On the way, when I met women and maids, they all curled their lips in disdain: This is because I heard that the third girl is going to marry into the Nan'an Palace, so they are rushing to get something!

Aunt Zhao crashed into Qiushuangzhai, Xichun was talking with Tanchun, and Xue Baochai went to the poet's house.Aunt Zhao was taken aback when she saw tears on her face and stains on the corners of her skirt. Tanchun felt that she had heard her own good deeds and came to do it. She was very impatient and asked with a sullen face: "Auntie, it's hard to stop for a while. , just because of Huan'er, you shouldn't be walking outside like this without any dignity, so you don't have to make people laugh!"

Aunt Zhao held Tanchun's hand, but she couldn't hear Tanchun's angry words, she just cried: "My son, even if you ask your uncle to find you a small family first OK!"

Tan Chun's face was livid with such thoughtless words, he pulled out his hand, and said angrily: "Auntie respects! Why bother to use these words to embarrass me? Which uncle? I only have one uncle of the Wang family who is an important minister in the capital! What kind of family?" When will my marriage be decided by a slave Yangzi!" As he spoke, he pushed Aunt Zhao away, crying.Xichun and a few maids stopped and tried to persuade Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was ashamed, angry and sad, and said anxiously: "The girl came out of my stomach, don't I love you! The old lady didn't want you to enter Nan'an Palace at all! The old concubine of Nan'an came I want to recognize you as my daughter, so that I can marry a vassal state hundreds of thousands of miles away!"

The angry Tanchun was stunned when he heard it, he stood there dumbfounded and Han Douhan didn't move, the frightened servant girls and Xichun shook her, it was Aunt Zhao who pinched her hard It took a while to turn around. With a sound of "Wow", Tanchun began to cry.

A group of girls are panicked. They have all heard the story of getting married. Let alone never seeing their loved ones again after traveling thousands of miles away. The customs and customs of those small countries are very different from those of the heavens. Being alone there, missing the homeland is a thing, and you can’t get used to it. It's normal to be gone soon!Not to mention being unaccompanied and being bullied, no one will know about illness, pain and death!

Tanchun was already in a panic, the girl who is usually cheerful and lively, couldn't bear it now.Why was she raised pampered in the boudoir, why did she ever think about falling back to this level?

Even if Tanchun cries again and Aunt Zhao makes trouble again, this matter is still settled.Choosing an auspicious day that falls on the sixth day, the old concubine of Nan'an recognized Tanchun as her daughter.

As soon as this end recognized his daughter, the Nan'an Prince's Mansion on the other end handed over the booklet to the Ministry of Rites. The lintel of the Nan'an Palace was worthy, and the Ministry of Rites showed the portrait of Tanchun and the origin of the Wang's Mansion to Qian Xiangguo.

Qian Xiangguo readily agreed.

Tanchun washed his face with tears every day, and he was already half dead.Aunt Zhao was locked up, and only after she had begged all over did she bring a letter to Jia Huan.

However, Lin Zhenyu had already privately greeted Mr. Ye's old acquaintances at Ulsan Academy, and now the academy did not let Jia Huan leave, and Jia Huan, who was in a hurry, burst into flames within a few days.

Just when Aunt Zhao's three hearts were on fire, another accident happened again, but it was a good thing for them.

But it turned out that the Second Prince Shangdan had high eyesight, and he had fallen in love with the younger sister of Mr. Xiao Lin, so he would be an interesting beauty after all.But the girl from the Lin family made an engagement with the Xi family years ago.He sent someone to invite Mr. Xiao Lin, but he was very politely turned away.Later, when he heard that the girl from Nan'an County Wangfu's family had been appointed, Shang Dan looked at the portrait and was quite satisfied, but she was a woman with a famous name. He didn't care too much, what he wanted was the power of her mother's family behind her!

It's the words of her family's power that make Shang Dan furious!Originally, Nan'an Palace had some military power, but in her eyes, it was still not satisfactory.But he didn't want to hear that this girl was just recognized by the old concubine Nan'an in a few days, and she was born in the ruined Rongguo Mansion, and she was still a concubine!

How could Shang Dan be willing? Even the envoys of Qianxiang Kingdom were very dissatisfied. The evil fire that Shang Dan had suppressed in the capital all came out at once, regardless of whether he came to the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion to cancel the marriage.

It was already March in the spring of this uproar, and most of the vassal states that came with them had already returned home, except for the Qianxiang state.Shang Dan's actions are extremely dishonest, that is, the Nan'an Palace is at a loss, but the marriage between the two countries, without going through the Ministry of Rites, without reporting to the Holy Majesty, they went to withdraw the marriage, isn't it a slap in the face of the Celestial Dynasty?Today, they can even make a big fuss and send troops to attack Qianxiang country.

When Shang Dan calmed down, he knew that he had gone too far, but it was difficult to make up for it.The Holy One was furious, and immediately ordered the delegation of Qianxiang Kingdom and the King of Nan'an County to come to the court to meet the Holy Spirit!

In the end, for the sake of good relations with Qianxiang Kingdom for several generations, the two sides each hit [-] quilts: Nan'an County Prince's Mansion was finally confiscated because of this big mistake.The old concubine of Nan'an was frightened and fell ill on the bed. The imperial doctor said that her heart was hurt, and she might not last long; and Qian Xiangguo made a lot of concessions on the terms of the two parties in order to calm the emperor's wrath, and even went out of her way. Big Blood——The tax for caravans from Qianxiang Country to China will be increased by [-]%, and the tax for caravans from China to Qianxiang Country will be reduced by [-]%!

Don’t underestimate this achievement. Qianxiang Kingdom doesn’t produce many commonly used raw materials. They can only be bought from the Tianchao Exchange Market or traded with caravans. Qianxiang Kingdom became rich quickly when the first emperor was alive. Promise that the tax of the caravans of the Qianxiang Kingdom was reduced by [-]%, and the caravans of the Qianxiang Kingdom developed rapidly.

In this way, the matter of getting married became a thing of the past, and Tanchun was also sent back to Jia's family by the Nan'an Palace. Naturally, her status as a concubine and adopted daughter no longer existed. Although her reputation was damaged, the Jia family's current status , not bad or better.

After this incident, Tanchun was half-hearted about her marriage, and even followed Xichun to listen to Miaoyu's preaching in Changcui Nunnery.Aunt Zhao is not easy to bluff, and often pulls her to talk, the relationship between mother and daughter has eased a lot.At least Tanchun also knew that at the critical moment, it was just this aunt she looked down upon who desperately defended her!There was also an urgent letter from Jia Huan every two days. The restlessness and inquiries and worries in the letter made Tanchun's pillow wet during the night.

The mission of the Qianxiang Kingdom delayed for two months before returning home as if the attack had been defeated.

As soon as the missions left, the more sensitive people felt that the atmosphere in the capital became tense, as if there were some dark waves in the meaning of what the emperor said in the court today.

On this day, the Holy Majesty issued a decree in the court: "Strictly investigate the deficit of the national treasury!" The courtiers were shocked, and the storm was coming!
