Femme Beauty

At this time, in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, the Princess of Nan'an County, who had just returned from the banquet, was sitting on the arhat bed, and the little girl below was carefully rubbing her feet with a wooden bucket.Sitting next to her is her youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sifang.

"I really didn't expect such a result... Madame, is this the way to go?"

"We're all married, what else do you want?" Nan'an Princess glared at her: "Could it be that you want Si Yatou to be that little one?"

The fourth wife lowered her head: "But right now, it's not suitable for the fourth girl's marriage."

"What do you mean it's not suitable?" The princess of Nan'an County looked a little unhappy. Their family had long privately rumored that they would marry the Wang family of Cheng County, but now the marriage has not only not been formed, but it has even fallen on the table. Not so good.Right now, there are not a few people watching their house lively.It's all because the daughter-in-law didn't give her peace of mind before, and couldn't come out when something came up.Things haven't been settled yet, so they are shouting around.Now it's all right, everyone knows that the fourth girl in her family is old, but she loves the prince of Chengjun.This is a posture that is neither small nor necessary.How can she not be angry.

Thinking about it, she became even more angry, and angrily reprimanded her with no good face: "What kind of identity do you think she is, and you are still picky. You are also a good person, and you just yelled around without understanding anything. , the one with the long mouth doesn’t even have a gatekeeper. If I knew it earlier, I should have sewed it up with a needle and thread. Now, how can you tell the fourth girl about the marriage? But if anyone has a family background, whose wife doesn’t know now, The fourth girl is concerned about the affairs of the prince of Chengjun? Now I can't ask for a high marriage, I can only see if there are any clans that are far away who can marry."

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, the fourth wife's heart skipped a beat.This marriage was originally agreed upon three years ago, but they only said that they would discuss the marriage when the son came back from the border.But I didn't want to, the imperial decree came out before the person was found.She lowered her head, and whispered softly: "Then why not...go and see if I can find a position as a side concubine. Right now... my sister is still young, so I can wait three or four years."

"Are you a fool?" Nan'an County Princess slapped her across the face: "I think you just like to be a kid for others, don't you? Why didn't you push this marriage back then, don't marry into our family! Fortunately, you are still a mother, the fourth girl has you in her heart, she really gave a white-eyed wolf. You can think of a good-looking girl, and you can send her to be a child."

"Where is it so bad?" The fourth wife looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief, with tears in her eyes: "Don't you just say now that my sister likes the eldest son? Besides, their family chose a concubine, Don’t you think it’s still Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng? Where is our sister sent? Who is worse than her from the family?”

"You still dare to talk stubbornly?" Nan'an Princess was so angry that her fingers trembled: "How can the fourth girl compare to her? Tell me, is her father better than her, or her mother's natal family is better than her? Compared with the Xing family , where are you going? Anyway, she is the daughter of a serious fifth-rank official. What are you? If it weren't for the marriage contract between the prince and your father in the early years, how could I agree to this marriage? Compared with her father, her father is a dignified country. Gong, what does Si Yatou's father give her? Not to mention these, it is the dowry, can you prepare half of it? I have emptied your dowry, and I am afraid that you will not even get a tenth. Not to mention, she is serious. Her elder brother is Xinke Tanhua, and she will rely on Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai in the future, so she must be the leader of the dynasty. Her ancestors were the founding fathers, one of the four kings and eight princes."

"If the fourth master can sit on the throne, what's wrong with my sister?" The wife of the fourth room yelled out this voice, and she was a little dazed.She lowered her head tremblingly and said nothing more.Seeing her expression, the princess of Nan'an County completely cooled down.She took a deep breath, raised her head and shouted, "Come here... Fourth Grandma has hysteria, so lock her up quickly. We'll talk about it when I get the imperial physician tomorrow."

When the fourth wife heard what her mother-in-law said, she immediately went limp.She knew that she was afraid it was over.She was struggling to run outside, but the woman outside didn't let her go.He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and dragged him out.

Yingchun's marriage was over, and Jia Lian sat next to Wang Xifeng under the banyan tree in the courtyard, drinking a little bit. A specially widened imperial concubine collapsed, and the two of them were obviously a little crowded.Wang Xifeng pushed him unwillingly: "Someone will bring you another one, I'm so hot!"

"No!" Jia Lian brazenly hugged Wang Xifeng tightly, refusing to let go.At this moment, he was full of emotions, and he just wanted to hug his wife tightly to ease his mood.

When welcoming the Spring Festival, it was my father who was worried that after an accident in the mansion, it would be difficult to get married.I found a temporary reason for 5000 taels of silver, and forced it out of the old lady's hands.But I didn't think about it, I chose an inappropriate person, and I didn't say anything, I would have died long ago.Thinking of getting the news of Yingchun's past, he felt extremely distressed.After all, it was him and his father, sorry for this sister.What's wrong with her?

Right now, a good marriage has finally been chosen.After properly sending the dowry and Rendou over, he hugged Wang Xifeng tightly and looked at the stars in the sky: "Everything will be fine in the future!"

Wang Xifeng sighed when he heard this sentence, if you think it's hot, let's make it hot!There is no intention of driving him down.

Jia Lian hugged his daughter-in-law and lay on the bed for a while. When Jiu Jin woke up, she got up and hugged Wang Xifeng into the house.Wang Xifeng was sleeping soundly at this time, which showed that she was also tired during the day.

In a blink of an eye, it's autumn.Jia Cang was able to walk and move at this time, and he was the kind of character who never idles when he is awake.He is small and curious about everything.I had to tire the mother-in-law and maids to follow behind, trembling for fear that he would bump into it.But speaking of it, Mrs. Xing was a little more worried, neither his wife nor his grandfather cared about his fall or anything.Especially Wang Xifeng, seeing him lying on the ground with somersaults, would still laugh so hard that his stomach hurts.

Faced with this, Jia Lian became the middle and muddy one.However, there were also things that made him have to argue with his own father, such as the fact that his own father would dip his chopsticks in soju and feed his son's mouth during meals.He absolutely disagreed, and even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he almost went to Wang Ziteng's house with his son in his arms.In a daze, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing, who were watching the excitement, laughed at him until the winter solstice.Laugh when you bring it up.

In the end, he could only helplessly remain silent.It is said that women and villains are difficult to raise, although this is taken out of context.But here, he thinks it is just right.

The winter solstice was over, and at the end of the year, the affairs of the court were not busy. Jia Lian only saw the teacher who hadn't talked carefully for two or three months.

Lin Ruhai was now thin and thin, even though he was once thin.But looking at it now, it has changed from the original three-point bone to seven-point bone.Seeing this, Jia Lian was very worried.Lin Ruhai expressed that he didn't mind about it. After he died once in a daze, his views on life and death became much lighter.Right now his eldest son has passed the pre-order, even if he can't persist in the past two or three years, it is good for Lian'er, an apprentice, to take care of him for a few years in the future.

He also wanted to talk to Jia Lian, but the important thing was about Yuanchun.He has a friend who works in the hospital, and he has already given the news, saying that he is afraid that he will not be able to survive this winter.

Yuan Chun's health was originally good, but a while ago he offended the Queen Mother because of some things, so he knelt on the icy stone slab for more than two hours in the cold spring.Leng is kneeling sick, this disease will die.

Sitting in Lin Ruhai's study, Jia Lian was a little taken aback when he heard the news.This is several years earlier than the previous life.In the previous life, after the death of the old emperor, the old lady was still prosperous for four or five years!Otherwise, even if Baoyu gets married, I'm afraid it won't be that pompous.

"It's too early!" Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian's expression and knew what he was thinking.He found a piece of yellow paper from a drawer on one side, on which was the news received by the cabinet.Handed it to Jia Lian: "This is about the north. Right now, Beiliao has no time to take care of us. There is a Jin on his back. The little emperor has just ascended the throne, and his uncle is clamoring to become the king again. Jin Guo just raised troops to Fan Jin. The cabinet I haven't made a decision on this matter yet, but the emperor means to send your father-in-law to look at the defense of the northwest, and the emperor has just gone, and once your father-in-law leaves, it may be time for a major disturbance."

Looking at the news about the two countries in the north, Jia Lian frowned: "Is it my uncle?" In his previous life, his uncle Wang Ziteng died of illness on the road during an inspection.In recent years, the weather in the capital has become worse and worse.I heard that the drought in the Northwest has already yielded nothing.But fortunately, the farmers all went to the south to work, so it will not cause a big famine.

Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I can't do anything about this matter, your father-in-law is in a special position, and he is a close minister of the emperor, a real general."

Hearing this, he frowned when he thought of how Wang Ziteng taught him so carefully over the years.He squeezed the paper unconsciously with his fingers, and bit his lip: "The Tianlu liquid that I gave back then... There are still two bottles left. Originally, I thought it would be used when Brother Feng gave birth in the future. When the decree comes down, I will send it to you in advance. past."

"He should have something left in his hand, and if he doesn't have you, he'll give it to him. It's just that the destiny is like this, and he can't resist it." Lin Ruhai has been deeply touched over the years, he is a living dead.Relying entirely on that drop of dew, live in the moment.But right now, the phenomenon of his body declining day by day clearly told him.Even that drop of dew is probably limited.

Hearing Lin Ruhai talk about destiny, Jia Lian suddenly looked up at him.The master is a bit strangely skinny, and he is only a few years old.It should have been the healthiest time, but it was so weak.Even Jia Jing's body is much better than him.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian, and suddenly smiled: "Your boy looks honest, but he is actually a shrewd person. I have forgotten this. My body has been getting worse every year. It seems that I was poisoned at the beginning. At the time, the root was already injured. Although Tianlu saved my life, in the final analysis, it was only supported by that magical power."

Hearing the exact words, Jia Lian looked sad.Lin Ruhai took one of the rulers and tapped his forehead: "Why do you make such an expression? Your master and I have experienced glory, favor and prosperity. Even your aunt has been with me for many years. What's not to like?"

"No." Jia Lian covered his forehead and bowed his head in silence.Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai sighed and got up and took out a book from the bookcase and threw it to him: "This is the emperor's secret collection, you can't take it out. Go copy the book!" He pointed to the table beside him, Jia Lian nodded, holding a book and standing in front of the desk, and called the servant in Lin Ruhai's study to grind the ink and polish the pen.

After copying the book, I returned home and looked at the banquet that was being prepared.Jia Lian suddenly lost his appetite.Jia Amnesty sat in the main seat and looked at him: "What's the matter? Is this coming back to show you my face?"

Jia Lian shook his head, clenched his hands on his knees and loosened them.He lowered his head and murmured: "My master's health is probably not good."

Hearing this, Jia She was taken aback.He knew that Lin Ruhai had died once, that is to say, the dew that changed his life against the sky, whether it was diluted or not, was useless.He picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of spicy cabbage into the plate in front of him, and tapped the edge of the plate with the tip of the chopsticks: "Then spend some more time to go and have a look."

"Yes!" Jia Lian didn't want to say more, just nodded in agreement.Because of Lin Ruhai's physical condition and his bad treatment of Wang Ziteng, Jia Lian lost his energy even more, so he forgot to tell Jia She that Yuan Chun's health was about to fail.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace bell rang ten times less than the Queen Weng.The surrounding Jingjie Drum Tower also rang the death knell.Wang Xifeng was sleeping soundly at first, but when she heard the bell, she suddenly got up.She put on her clothes and looked at Jia Lian who got up, and asked the maidservant to come forward to serve her.Although it is not certain that it is the one who died, the one who can ring the bell must not be a small person.I'm afraid it's either the queen or the queen mother.

The two of them didn't hear the number of bells clearly, but the maidservant outside did.The first thing that came to her mind was Ping'er who was taught by Qiu Ju. After careful questioning, she quickly walked out of her hut and entered Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's room: "Grandma, it's the imperial concubine's ninety strokes."

"But you got it right?" Wang Xifeng was taken aback by what he said.She hadn't gotten out of bed yet, after all, she hadn't been ordered yet.But if Yuan Chun is gone, then she will also enter the palace.

"Listen! The emperor's 180 beats, the empress dowager's 160 beats. The emperor's reign 130 beats, and the queen's 110 beats. Just now, it was the imperial concubine's [-] beats. I listened first, and the drum tower is probably noisy right now. , I can’t understand it.” Ping’er swiftly helped Wang Xifeng find the plain mourning clothes, which were often made when the emperor was in power.It's just that Wang Xifeng said that the queen mother and those concubines in the harem are not too young, and they may wear more in the future.It's just that I didn't expect it to be used in less than two years.

Wang Xifeng got up and got off the ground, went to the small room next door and wiped her body with hot water, then asked the maid to change into clothes.Jia Lian has already done everything and is waiting for someone from the palace to report.He looked at Wang Xifeng, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and doing her makeup: "I'm afraid Yuan Chun is right!"

"It's not easy for a big sister, how can she be so young..." Wang Xifeng has no feelings for Yuan Chun.But hearing about birth, old age, sickness and death is still somewhat emotional.Jia Lian touched the blue jade pendant hanging around his waist, bowed his head and said, "A while ago, I heard from Master that the Empress Dowager made him kneel on Chuntou as a punishment, and he fell ill as a result. I just didn't expect that Winter would never pass."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat.She suddenly remembered that Yuan Chun's death was like a fuse.

First, Uncle Kaichun was sent to the northwest to investigate the border defense, but died of illness in the post station back to Beijing.Then, my aunt didn't last long and left.Jia Zheng in Liangdao was accused of malpractice for personal gain.Although he was not escorted back to Beijing, he was indeed recalled to stand by.The Grand View Garden was also raided for the first time at that time.Afterwards, he was defeated in the battle against Qixiang and asked for a marriage, and there was no news of where Tanchun went.

Thinking of this, she put down the eyebrow pencil and looked at herself in the mirror, sighing.The maid behind her combed her hair and tied it with a white ribbon.After tidying up, she didn't apply makeup or powder, but asked Ping'er to prepare a small soft handkerchief made with ginger juice and put it inside the sleeve.When she sat down, she just took a sip of porridge with rice and milk, when a woman came outside to deliver a message.

"Young Mistress, Madam asked you and the Young Master to hurry over after eating some snacks. Someone came from the palace, saying that the eldest sister, the imperial concubine, from the next door mansion has died. You and the Young Master are asked to follow her into the palace."

"Understood!" Wang Xifeng waved the old woman back to return to her command, she moved a little faster, Jia Lian didn't speak any more and just used two pastries to fill her stomach.

Because they were family members, Jia Lian followed Jia Amnesty and entered the palace together with Jia Zhen.Mrs. Xing took Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Chaopin, who was in plain mourning, and sat in a car.In the carriage next to her is Mrs. Wang.Because she was the birth mother of the imperial concubine, Mrs. Wang was properly placed and went to the inner room of Lingling as soon as she entered the palace gate.Mrs. Xing took Wang Xifeng and knelt down in front of the altar.

It was freezing cold at this time, Wang Xifeng took out a small piece of warm and soft yellow and white jade bracelet from the space and privately slipped it to Mrs. Xing: "This is warm jade, mother-in-law, put it on quickly."

Mrs. Xing watched her little movements, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and hung it on her wrist.Suddenly, a gust of heat spread from the wrist.It can be seen that it is a rare treasure.Although she was taken aback, she didn't show it.Just a little worried, Wang Xifeng gave it to herself, what would she use.

Wang Xifeng hurt his eyes with a ginger handkerchief, lowered his head and whispered: "I have it here, and I wear it around my neck."

"That's good!" Mrs. Xing nodded, and also expressed her condolences.

At this time, there were not many meritorious families who came to worship, and most of them were busy changing the decorations on the hall.There are some, I am afraid that they will not come until dawn.At this time, maybe it was the mourning hall that made it suddenly or something, and there were not many inner eunuchs around.The two of them matched alone with the concubine in the palace, which seemed abrupt instead.

Yuanchun's funeral was grand, but at the same time quick.It seems that it only took three days from the time of ascension to the burial into the emperor's own underground palace.It's the twelfth lunar month at this time, but I don't understand why it is in a hurry.

Wang Xifeng had already guessed that Yuan Chun's death might be something strange.It was this that made the emperor decide to make a quick decision.But she didn't care much about these.After all, comparing kneeling for one day to kneeling for seven days, she prefers the former.

In the evening, the palace dismissed the family members, and Wang Xifeng helped Mrs. Xing into the carriage.Madam Xing withdrew the bracelet and returned it to her.Wang Xifeng pushed back: "It's already done, and I'm waiting for you to make a congratulatory gift on the day of your birth."

"How good is this?" Mrs. Xing could see the preciousness of the bracelet.Some feel sorry.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xifeng felt angry: "What's wrong? You are my mother-in-law, and everything I give you is filial piety. Why not? Or do you despise me as a daughter-in-law?"

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Xing lowered her head and smiled: "It's not easy for you young couple these years... It should have been me and the master..."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Xifeng held her hand and said with a smile: "Look, it's not very good for us to treat each other like this. I am a person with such a personality. Besides, didn't you help me raise the child! "

"That's my grandson!" Mrs. Xing glanced at her and put it on again.She really likes it, the warm feeling all over her body is better than wearing a big fur.
