Femme Beauty

Jia Zhen went back to the mansion, and Youshi heard that his servants said that he was back.So I arranged for Qin Keqing to be more comfortable by herself, and wait for Brother Rong to come back and have dinner together in the main courtyard.

She returned to the main room in a small sedan chair, and saw Jia Zhen wheezing hotly, drinking iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat.She knew what Jia Zhen was going to do. Not long ago, someone who was busy on the water told Jia Zhen that she seemed to have seen the Lai family.It just changed the name, and it seems that the whole family went to settle in the south.Among them, the grandson of the Lai family is even more familiar.The other party seemed to be worried about being recognized, so they carefully avoided people.And next to it, there seemed to be people from the Red Snake Guard.Hearing the news, Jia Zhen broke out in a cold sweat, and made an agreement with Youshi overnight that he decided to get up early and go to his father's place.Although he himself is extremely dull, he has a shrewd Lao Tzu after all.Although somewhat unprofessional,

Youshi stepped forward and sat on the chair beside Jia Zhen: "What did the master say?"

"Ah!" Jia Zhen swallowed the cold sour plum soup to relieve the heat, and put it aside to wipe her mouth: "Father said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, my wife will come back to live here. Besides, my aunt is back today?"

"It's back, but I'm afraid it won't work like that." You Shi thought of Mrs. Wang's face, and became more sure of her guess.

"Then stay away in the future!" Jia Zhen insisted that if the father didn't say anything, he would listen to the old lady.If daddy says anything, just listen to daddy.He still doesn't want to offend his father.Although his father wrote a note before entering the Taoist temple, saying that after his death, he would be demoted to the rank of Xijue.But after all, the emperor has not made a decree. Although he has always said that he is a third-class general outside, in fact he is not as good as his son. At least when he married a wife, he bought him a nickname of Cong Wupin.

"How do you say that?" Youshi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the source of what his father-in-law said.Fortunately, her mother-in-law is coming back, so she has a reason not to go there every day.In any case, it's not her own elders above her.The family was separated three generations ago, so what is going on now.It's just that her master said it, and she had to respect it.

"I can't tell you the specifics, just listen to it." Jia Zhen couldn't tell, so he sighed: "I'll write a secret booklet to apologize later. Don't get involved in things over there." It’s almost over, let the craftsmen work faster and fix the wall.”

Hearing that a fence is still needed, You Shi frowned: "This is going to be far away, why should we divide the yard between them?"

"You don't understand. Our yard was small back then. The Rongguo Mansion was built before us. Later, when the Ningguo Mansion was built, there was no land left. Back then, Duke Rong looked at his younger brother's mansion and gave us most of it. But now we have bought all the surrounding yards, so there is no shortage of land for this idea. The master said it when he was going to the Taoist temple, and if he wanted it, he would give it there. After all, it is registered with the royal family, and it is still honor From the government."

"But that is also for Jia Amnesty, why should I give it to him?" You Shi was even more dissatisfied with this.Although it is said that the things registered belong to other people's homes, but in the end they have been operated by themselves all these years.

Jia Zhen glared at her: "I don't know? But Jia Amnesty is gone. If you ask me in the future, I will say that the old lady's place is too narrow and filial. Who can say that I am not, I have entered their house anyway. door."

Jia Zhen spoke quickly, and finally held her breath, making her face turn red.You Shi lowered his head and muttered, "You are a good person and no one will say hello to you."

Jia Zhen pretended not to hear this, and he never had anything to discuss with this daughter-in-law.At most, tell her what to do.He stroked his beard and said, "Don't send Xichun over there. She's one year old and two years old now. You take some with you and raise them as your daughter. When the master and wife come back, just give them to the wife. It was the same What they brought into the temple was just inconvenient there.”

"I still asked today, why didn't you bring Xichun over there. If you want me to say, since the decision is far away, the name has to be changed." Youshi thought of what the nanny asked: "I still asked my daughter-in-law. It's obviously a What does it matter if you have a niece-like name for an aunt?"

"Did you really say it?" Jia Zhen looked at Youshi, he had lost a lot of sweat at this moment, and it was time for him to feel comfortable.After all, there is a lot of ice in the house, so it is cool and ventilated.

"What did I lie to you for?"

"Then change it!" Jia Zhen nodded: "This matter, let's use a nickname. How to say, it is also the daughter raised by the wife under the name. She is the legitimate daughter of our family! How can I weaken the others? The elder sister-in-law over there followed the master and the others, so why not start a similar one. It’s not too late to talk about this matter when the master comes back, so let’s get a nickname first. Let’s call it... elder sister. Our family’s Sister, why can't you get along with there?"

"The master is right. I originally said that was inappropriate. It's just that although the wife said it was recorded under her name, she became a daughter-in-law. But when the master left, it was not yet full moon and she didn't give her a name. With their family, It turns out that our Ningguo Mansion is a vassal of Rongguo Mansion." Hearing this, You Shi put on a smile.She originally felt that it was inappropriate for this mansion to blindly accommodate things over there.But the father-in-law of the family took her mother-in-law into the Taoist temple, and went to practice immortality and become a Buddha.Keeping his own master, he is a mindless person who doesn't pay attention.

She said it with the meaning of blame, but Jia Zhen felt very reasonable after hearing it.Although the father said before entering the Taoist temple, he said that he would follow the old lady over there, but he didn't say that Ningguo Mansion should be a vassal of Rongguo Mansion?In the past, he flattered the old lady very much, but thinking about it now, it was as if his head had been kicked by a horse.Thinking of this, he was willing to obey his father's decision 100%.Originally, he was worried, what if he offended the old lady over there.Thinking about it now, this Ningguo Mansion is the lineage of the patriarch.It is true that the two families prospered together, but they were not brothers but cousins.My lineage is the serious lineage of the sixth householder of the Jia family, Zhengzhi.But these years, to the point that their family is rooted.

The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the more complacent she became, but Mu Chengze, who got the news from Wang Ziteng, didn't know whether to take the news to his old father.He knew very well that his ability to ascend to the position smoothly and secure a stable position within a year had a lot to do with his father's stigma.Although he was five, in fact his father had only three grown-up children, one was the stigmatized eldest son King Zhongshun, the son of Concubine Zhen.The other is him, and the last one is the loyal king who is six years younger than him.But when he was still young, he was adopted by his father to his uncle.Because he was also his younger brother, he re-promoted the county king to prince after he ascended the throne.

"Qiao'er, do you think I should take it?" Mu Chengze asked his personal eunuch, Qiao An, who was the head of the inner court at this time.

"I don't know about this... I don't know." Qiao An lowered his head and narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "But I'm thinking about it, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It hurts anyway..." He gestured for the movement of pinching the flesh with his hands, watching Play with Mu Chengze.He stood up and smashed Joan's head with the envelope: "Sure, I'll listen to you! Find something cool! Hurry up and prepare a walking carriage for your father."

"Hey... let's go right away..." Joan bowed and retreated with a smile.

At this time, the minor heat is over, and the major heat is down.The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and ice is used wherever there is a master in the palace.Although these ices are not as good as the river ice dug in the moat in winter, they can be eaten.But using the ice-making method can make the servants who sit in the house and work a lot cooler.

At this time, the old emperor was sitting on a high couch with ice chips under it, and the young and beautiful court lady beside him was feeding him with seasonal fruits.Seeing Mu Chengze coming in, he quickly tidied up and left.Mu Chengze didn't salute, but just nodded and sat on the newly moved chair.He asked people to withdraw the ice sheet basin, his stomach is relatively weak.Even in the dog days, he rarely uses cold food.

"What's the matter? Come here on a hot day, you are not afraid of heatstroke." The old emperor squinted at him, then continued to lie down and did not speak.

"A letter from Lin Ruhai!" Mu Chengze handed Lin Ruhai's letter to the old emperor.The old emperor just stretched his arms, but still didn't look at him.When the father and son wrote a diary because of Zhen's daughter's promotion, they lost their temper and haven't reconciled yet.

After reading the letter, the old emperor sat up abruptly.Although the movement is a bit slow, it can be seen that the body is in good shape.Holding the letter paper, he looked at Mu Chengze with probing eyes, and Mu Chengze let him look at him naturally.The two stalemate for a while, before the old emperor said: "How much are the current officials of the Ministry of Households owed?"

"In terms of numbers, there must be tens of millions of gold!" Mu Chengze sighed at this, the last thing he wanted to think about was this.But right now, the national treasury is empty and the meritorious deeds are still looking at the national treasury to borrow money for extravagance.

"Let Xiaoliu to urge, and explain to the meeting that half of the payment must be made by the end of the year. If you can't pay, the house will be confiscated to pay off the debt." The old emperor shook the letter paper in his hand and threw it to Mu Chengze.Mu Chengze frowned and looked at his father, not understanding the meaning of this.

"When I went to Jinling, I always lived in Zhen's house. They borrowed a lot!" The old emperor looked at his son with a bit of hatred, this is the son he is most satisfied with.To be exact, the daughter of the Zhen family who gave birth to a son through her womb is the bastard among the bastards.His mother's blood is not enough, and he is not pleased with him following the trend of the Zhen family.Simply follow him once and for all.There are too many other people who don't live long, and it's just this one who finally grows up to share the burden with Xiaoliu. In order to keep Xiaoliu alive, he can only adopt.This son, he pinned his hopes on.

"Oh!" Mu Chengze immediately understood what his father meant, and he nodded: "Then... what should we do at Beiya Pass? A letter was sent a few days ago, saying that Baolinghou died in battle. Right now, in the capital, only his wife and a daughter. This thing..."

"Aren't there three in their family? Let his younger brother take over the title." The emperor glared at his son, meaning you still tell me such a thing.

Mu Chengze shyly rubbed his nose with his finger and said, "It's mainly in your name, father, I think it would be better. After all, there will be a lot of trouble because of Ku Yin's matter."

"It's okay, you can figure it out yourself! Who's there right now?" The emperor nodded after hearing this.

"His younger brother, Shi Nai."

"That's the second child, where's the youngest child?" The emperor has always had a good memory, especially for the old ministers who were in the court when he was in power.

"In the northwest camp."

"Feng the youngest one in their family, Shi Ding...isn't it!" The emperor thought about it, and seemed to think it should be correct.Mu Chengze nodded: "Yes, Shi Ding."

"Feng Shi Ding succeeds his elder brother as the Marquis of Baoling, and returns to Beijing to report on his duties to go to Beiya. Brothers will be better together in the end. Feng Shi Nai alone will be the Marquis of Zhongjing, and Zheng Keshuang will go to Northwest Daying to take over Shi Ding's position." The emperor thought for a while and changed the titles of the two brothers.Mu Chengze was stunned for a moment, the youngest son inherited the title of Transcendent... this is...

The emperor saw his question and waved his hand: "You are too young to know that Shi Ding and the late Shi Nai are from the same mother, but Shi Nai is not like them. It is better for the younger one to take over, don't be degraded. No matter what. He is a heavy frontier general, so he can't make people feel cold. There is only one thing, that Shi Nai's wife is a daughter of the Yi family, and it is said that her health is not very good. A daughter, if the Jia Shi family had to use it, this girl might have to entrust her. Living with her uncle is not good for a girl after all. But I see, if that girl goes, you will Take them into the palace and send them to the queen. No matter what the two precious jades are, as long as you know how to live like your brother Wang in the future, you can marry them when you grow up. If it doesn’t work, you can change to someone else.”

"My son understands!" Mu Chengze nodded, the emperor's way of doing things was better after all.It's just a title, and that's what the royal family needs most now.

The news of Shi Wei's death was passed on the next day.The emperor personally announced the news in the court hall, and the court immediately fell silent.The inner government decree announced the promotion and dispatch of the Shijia brothers, and at the same time stated that Shi Wei's ranking will be stationed in Tinglange.

After Wang Ziteng got the news, he wrote a letter and sent someone south to send it.He didn't know how Lin Ruhai would judge this matter, but Zheng Keshuang was the most uncooperative person with him.At the same time, there is even more fog in Ping'an Prefecture in the northwest, so we need to be more careful.

From Jia Zheng's mouth, Jia's mother learned that her eldest nephew had died in battle, and she fainted immediately.After an hour or two, he slowly woke up.After asking again about the arrangement of titles and royal rewards, he regained his composure.But that's it, dinner was useless.She was lying on the recliner, thinking about how she would get along with her natal family in the future.

Of her three nephews, two are a mother and the other is a bastard.Right now, she is more or less satisfied with the fact that her youngest nephew takes over the throne.However, the concubine's nephew also had the title, which made her not very satisfied.After all, at present, her relationship with her little nephew is still close.But in terms of official position, Shi Nai, who has been sticking to the barracks, has more power than Shi Ding.If you have military merits in the future, you will definitely be reused.That's a serious martial arts move up, and her two nephews who went up by Mengyin are much stronger.In the army, it is easier to be loved by the people below.

Within two days of her thinking like this, crying came from the Bowling Marquis's residence.The wife of the former Bowling Marquis, Yi Shi passed away.Hearing the news, she was joking with the maids.She put down the tea bowl blankly, and many people thought she was in a bad mood after hearing the news.Little did she know, she thought of the only girl left behind, Shi Xiangyun.

"Prepare the car, go to Bowling Marquis's Mansion!" She wanted to pick up the girl while Shi Nai and Shi Ding's wives were still there.

Sitting in the main room, Shi Nai's wife felt uneasy when she saw Jiamu coming.This eldest aunt has always been unprofitable, and in the early years, their master was a bastard and was not valued.None of the boxing gifts in previous years were given.Later, after taking the martial arts examination, I started dating when I became an official.

"Grandma, come here, it's too chaotic here to entertain." Although Shi Ding's wife didn't like that her husband's brother won a title for nothing, she still inherited the title of the family.Originally, she was still worried about what would happen to the title if her eldest brother died in battle, but it seems that the emperor still understands the distinction between concubine and concubine.

"I just got the news too, so why did I die so well?" Mother Jia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at Shi Ding's daughter-in-law.

"Ah!" Shi Ding's wife sat on the side, bowed her head and sighed: "Sister-in-law's body is not good in itself. Uncle has been at the border all year round, so it is very difficult for this child to be an heir. But he is another person who likes to raise a small family name." People...but most of them in this army are like this. But once this person left, his bad body completely collapsed. Originally, he was supported by medicine..." She said with a sad expression on her face, Her husband is also on the battlefield.Although as the main general, there is still a distance from the battlefield.But now the ending of uncle and sister-in-law might be hers too.This made her feel sad when the rabbit died.

"Right now, I can only rely on you!" Mother Jia also understood the difficulties of the two nieces and daughters-in-law, both of whom were men who didn't know their lives when they were away.She thought for a while and said, "How is Xiangyun?"

"Let the nanny from the palace pick it up, and it's in the side courtyard. Just wait for the funeral to be over, and the uncle's coffin will be brought over and buried in Jinling, and then we will approach the palace." When it comes to Shi Xiangyun, the niece, Shi Nai's wife answered. .She glanced at her sister-in-law: "I heard the news at night. I was worried that she would not be able to think about it these few days, and her health would be worse. We have been in this mansion for the past few days and have not left. This morning the palace gate opened. After reporting the news, the emperor came with a decree. After all, there are two of us, and there are many children below. Uncle is such an only daughter, so he sent the inner government order to take care of the property and take care of it. Wait until the matter is over. , sent to the queen to be educated."

Speaking of this, Shi Nai's wife was more or less relieved about her situation in the future.She knew that since the queen could accept a Shi Xiangyun.Then if my husband passes away, life for myself and my son will not be bad.She was originally from a small family. Back when her aunt and mother-in-law were still alive, even if her father-in-law had passed a martial arts exam, she still didn't go to find a noble girl, but went to propose marriage to such a small family like her.The husband and wife walked over stumbling all the way, and they lived a comfortable life.It's just that with the title of title, I'm afraid that he will not live in peace in the future.

Hearing that the nanny in the palace still wants to be raised by the queen's side in the future, Mother Jia's heart began to flutter.She touched her chest and felt a little uncomfortable.The two marquises could also see that she didn't seem to be in good health, so she stayed and didn't dare to leave.But Mother Jia didn't want to lose face with the younger generation, so she drove home by herself.
