Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Lin Chong couldn't help grinning when he learned that Chai Jin had won 10 taels of silver for himself.I led a large army to fight abroad and captured Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom. Are those yellow and white things missing?But Chai Jin's good intentions are still worthwhile.

"Your Highness, if you are still able to lead the army, you don't need any betrothal money. I also wanted to fight for you because of the young ladies in Liangshan who got married, and the officials all gave you the money. I also told them that after marrying into someone else's family, they should take good care of the money in the box, and don't panic if they have money in their hands. I think you will be in someone else's house in the future. No, I am afraid that you will be trapped in the capital and cannot leave That's all."

Chai Jin's words are all based on Lin Chong's position.It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money.Over the years, Chai Jin, after spending pennies and pennies with Jiang Jing, has already deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, melted it into his bones, and implemented it in action.

Lin Chong nodded and thanked Chai Jin again and again.He went back to Beijing to see the empress that day, and to see what she meant, before there was no direct heir, there was no need to think about her great achievements and his own achievements.Chai Jin's sentence will be regarded as being in someone else's house in the future. Although it is not pleasant to hear, it is actually the same.How he can live after entering the palace, even if he is the commander-in-chief of the five armies, still depends on Hu Sanniang's attitude towards him.

As for money, having more money is not a bad thing.

In fact, Lin Chong's private house is very rich and his net worth is not cheap.These years in Liangshan, not only was he given the first-class treatment for food and use, but as a big leader, he participated in every military operation, and he was a general who made great contributions with his martial arts, and he also had an extra share of profit. available.He is actually one of the largest households in Liangshan.But Chai Jin won enough dowry for him first, and then he won a marriage for him. Cough, the money that was put into the bride's box was already recognized by the bride's name anyway, so how could he be willing to give up the "marriage" thing.

Who can think that there is too much money to bite their hands!

"Mr. Chai, look at me as a pro."

Lin Chong shook his head and laughed, unable to speak out what was in his heart.This marriage is too cost-effective, not to mention the gratifying yellow and white things that Chai Jin won for himself, but that he can continue to serve as the governor, and when he has children, he may have the opportunity to make contributions. Inheriting the country for thousands of miles, this is a good marriage that can't be found anywhere in the world with lanterns.

Chai Jin looked at Lin Chong's good complexion, he should be in a good mood, and told the truth with a smile.

"Besides the bad name of being married, I also think this marriage is very worthwhile."

Lin Chong was really not annoyed, "Yes, yes, I wish for it."

Is the name of the bride not good?That also depends on who gets married and how they are treated, right?

When Chai Jin came to Lin Chong's mansion this time, in addition to sending money in a box, he also had to confirm the dowry with Lin Chong.When Chai Jin got Lin Chong's dowry gift list, he saw that the dowry gift and Lin Chong's private house were mixed together and registered, and he patted the table to applaud and praise him.

"Okay, okay. Your Highness, with your financial resources, even if they don't dare to say that the money for the box is too much."

Generally speaking, if the dowry includes all the betrothal gifts, then the dowry should be two or three times the total amount of betrothal gifts.Lin Chong's private house was almost equivalent to the bride price.Thanks to the money in the box, Hu Sanniang and the Ministry of Rites were not ashamed.

Chai Jin took Lin Chong's "dowry" list to the household department and gave Jiang Jing a copy to keep, and persuaded Jiang Jing earnestly.

"God's fortune teller, look at Lin Chong's dowry. If you didn't send the money in the box, why don't you make it up now?"

Jiang Jing wished he could beat Chai Jin up, he was stepping on himself to sell himself in front of the empress and husband.

"Don't you know that there are many places for officials to use money? You see, sooner or later Lin Chong will take out the one hundred thousand silver and give it to officials. Hmph."

"Even if you borrowed it, you have to pay it back later. I said you just don't know how to do things, so I'll give you 20. Think about it, is this reasonable?"

Jiang Jing really thought for a while before he understood, and he was even more annoyed.I was so stupid, I gave it to Lin Chong, and Hu Sanniang was also left-handed and right-handed. I was really foolish in calculating money, so why should I be stingy with Lin Chong.

After he figured it out, he was even annoyed with Chai Jin.

"Don't worry about being kind, otherwise why don't you tell me in advance in private!"

Chai Jin looked at Jiang Jing with the eyes of a fool, "I'm telling you in private? Are you Lin Chong's natal family or her husband's family? You have fought yourself to choose which side to stand on."

This made Jiang Jing angry, and immediately drove Chai Jin out of the household department by himself.He ignored Chai Jin for several days.Fortunately, Jiang Jing didn't lose his temper, and allocated all the expenses of the empress' wedding to the Ministry of Rites according to the agreed amount of silver taels.Chai Jin sent people to the door several times to shake hands with Jiang Jing, but they were rejected.It wasn't until the day of the empress's wedding that Chai Jin toasted Jiang Jing three bowls of wine in front of all the officials who came to the wedding banquet. Only then did Jiang Jing forgive him and restore diplomatic relations with him.

To talk about the lively events in the first year of Kuntai in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, there are really many.Zhongjing who seized the Kingdom of Jin can definitely be regarded as the first thing in more than a hundred years, and Lin Chong, who was originally the commander-in-chief of the five armies, was also willing to marry the empress who married the emperor's husband, so it can naturally be regarded as a miracle.

On the day of the wedding, Chai Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, brought hundreds of Imperial Guard soldiers guarding the palace to greet the Empress, and took Lin Chong out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which was converted from the mansion of Zhao Kai, King Yun of Song Dynasty.Lin Chong was wearing a prince's coat, and rode a tall horse all the way, followed by hundreds of soldiers welcoming and sending off the bride, hundreds of dowry boxes with bent poles and red silk tied behind them, making all the onlookers The common people were amazed at the profound family background of the imperial husband.

The people who watched the ceremony kept talking about it, "With such a wealth and a governor, why do you still want to be a son-in-law?"

The voice reached Lin Chong's ears, but he just smiled and said nothing.

The onlookers also said: "How about the son-in-law, the official family is not passed on to his son in the future."

Sun Xin, who was accompanying Lin Chong, was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he ordered his soldiers to drive him away.

Lin Chong stopped him immediately, "I don't argue with the people on auspicious days. And they are right."

At the auspicious time of dusk, Lin Chong entered the palace from the Xuande Gate in the south.He dismounted in front of the Daqing Gate, then walked to the Daqing Hall, and saluted the empress who was waiting in the Daqing Hall.

Ask Chai Jin and officials from the Ministry of Rites to say that the empress really made Huang Fulin lose face and didn't ask her husband to salute according to royal etiquette from beginning to end.And after completing the ceremony, Lin Chong was able to accompany the empress to receive congratulations from all officials and orders.Even Lin Chong's residence, Hu Sanniang agreed with Chai Jin's opinion, and instead of arranging Lin Chong to go to Kunning Hall, she moved from Funing Hall to Zichen Hall after repeated consideration, renamed Chuigong Hall to Xining Hall, and gave it to Lin Chong. Do bedroom.

Then Hu Sanniang changed her habit of summoning ministers and prime ministers to discuss matters in the study of Funing Hall, and changed it to the study of Zichen Hall.The monthly Grand Court Meeting was changed to Daqing Hall, and the five-day civil servants' Small Court Meeting was changed to Wende Hall.

The bridal chamber was set up in Xining Hall, Lin Chong's sleeping hall.

Lin Chong looked at the empress who was striding into the Xining Palace in front of him, and hypnotized himself in his heart, the official family is not an ordinary little lady, the official family is not an ordinary little lady. Hovered repeatedly in his mind.

Under the service of the palace lady and Xiao Huangmen, the two took off the layers of dresses one by one.Lin Chong dragged it to the end, only wearing his underwear, followed Xiao Huangmen to the apse to take a bath.A few courteous little Huangmen hurriedly removed Lin Chong's hair, washed his hair and rubbed his body with his hands, and wiped the bath beans on Lin Chong's body over and over again, forcing Lin Chong to change his hair. The second bath tub was cleaned quickly by Xiao Huangmen.Then he was pressed on the couch again, and some grease was applied to his body. The smell of the grease was fresh and sweet.He himself became faintly excited when he smelled the scent on his body.

Lin Chong was able to return to the sleeping hall after the apse was cleaned up for more than half an hour.But I saw Hu Sanniang had come back from washing, she took off her hairpin, her hair was loose, she changed into her pajamas, and she was sitting on the wide eight-step bed waiting for him.

Looking at Hu Sanniang with her hair drooping and her pink face full of spring, Lin Chong felt that his heart, which was not a first-time brother, immediately became hot. It belonged to the instinct of a man, and even made him forget that the woman under him was an emperor.

Harmony exercise helps to promote the relationship between husband and wife, and can also bring the psychological distance closer to each other.

After being hearty, Lin Chong also relaxed, and when he got along with Hu Sanniang, he was less restrained than usual.Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and they hugged each other with their waists wrapped around their legs and whispered quietly.Lin Chong caressed the tattoo on Hu Sanniang's body, his voice was low but as light as a swallow's murmur.

"The minister now knows how the nickname of the official's Zhang Qing came from. I can't blame the official's being able to be an emperor. Let alone an ordinary little lady, no son would do this."

"do you want?"

Hu Sanniang's question was simple and gentle, but the voice was a little distant, so that Lin Chong could not feel Hu Sanniang's usual majesty and oppression.It's just that the deep eye wave was like a whirlpool, which attracted Lin Chongyu to be fascinated by her eyes, and even fell into a trance for a moment.

"I don't want to. I understand that I am not someone who can be an emperor. If I can be a general who makes contributions in this life, I will fulfill my wish of being a minister in this life."

Lin Chong answered Hu Sanniang's question according to his own heart.After speaking, he felt inexplicably relaxed and refreshed, and his heart and brain became clear.

"Here in Xining Palace, you and I are husband and wife, don't call yourself a minister."

Hu Sanniang's voice was no longer far away, the gentle voice was full of tenderness and tenderness that Lin Chong had never seen before.Such Hu Sanniang made Lin Chong's heart warm up again.His fingers moved slowly on those tattoos, outlining and depicting the majestic green dragon that was about to take off, and asked with a pun, "Does it still hurt?"

"I don't remember. Maybe it doesn't hurt."

I didn't come when the tattoo was done, so of course I don't know if it hurts or not.

"Does it hurt? Then come again."

Lin Chong eagerly expressed his desire, his eyes gleaming and locked on Hu Sanniang, not wanting her to escape.This kind of him glowed with a different kind of look, which made people palpitate and longed for, Hu Sanniang smiled.That smile fell into Lin Chong's eyes, and if he didn't say no clearly, it was an invitation.

Candlelight shines on the children on the bed curtains embroidered with hundreds of sons and grandchildren. The swaying bed nets make those little people seem to be dancing and moving tirelessly.As the hibiscus tent warmed the night, the panting sounds of the Empress and Prince Rui who were intoxicated in the bed were especially clear in the quiet night.The court ladies and eunuchs on duty outside the Xining Hall held their breaths and pretended that they were puppets made of wood and clay.

In the morning of the next day, Lin Chong stared at Sanniang Hu in the vanity mirror, whose eyes were like spring water, and attentively waited on her to make up, straighten her hair, and hand out hairpins. He said softly: "I don't know how many years I can serve the official family?"

The hot air rushed into Hu Sanniang's ears, Hu Sanniang turned her head slightly, and her earlobe brushed Lin Chong's lips, causing Lin Chong's heart to feel hot again.

She put down the facial balm in her hand, and asked Lin Chong in the mirror: "How long will Tan Lang think about it? If you can always do what you have done these years, you will have a good life."

Lin Chong sighed, "If you can get the words of the officials, you will live up to your life. I will not change the course, and the officials can rest assured and at ease."

Hu Sanniang turned around, put her hands on Lin Chong's shoulders, stared at Lin Chong and said solemnly: "You know my heart, and I also know your thoughts. You will have what should be given to you. The rest can only be left to God's will." gone."

Lin Chong understood that it was Hu Sanniang who had agreed to his words in advance—calling Wu Song back to Beijing.He was fortunate that Hu Sanniang had always had the reason and persistence of an emperor, and he sincerely praised in his heart that the official family was no ordinary little lady.The rest is up to God's will. Whether he can get a son or daughter depends on whether God will take care of him.

After tidying up, Hu Sanniang took Lin Chong to visit the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Hu family. The two kowtowed to offer incense, and then went back to Xining Hall for breakfast.

The two sat opposite each other and ate, after breakfast, Hu Sanniang gave Lin Chong the feeling that the two had spent countless days together.

Hu Sanniang whispered to Lin Chong, "In the Xining Palace, you can live according to your own habits. You just can't invite your colleagues to drink like you did in the Governor's Mansion."

"The minister rarely treats guests in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

Lin Chong defended himself softly.I didn't live in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for many days, so I followed Hu Sanniang to the north.Except for banquets at Anzhai, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were the only people who often went to drink.There is no need to invite these two, and they may come to the door at any time without notifying themselves in advance.

"But you can't entertain Lu Zhishen and others in the Xining Palace, this belongs to the inner palace."

Lin Chong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that his marriage to the palace was different from other son-in-laws.And it's different from the concubine who married into the palace.He stretched out his hand to hold Hu Sanniang's hand, weeping with gratitude.

"Thank you, the official family, for allowing me to continue to be in charge of the five-army governor's mansion, and thank you for allowing me to retain the great governor's mansion."

Hu Sanniang smiled, if Lin Chong didn't have the military power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and didn't reserve the Great Commander's Mansion for Lin Chong, Lin Chong would be imprisoned in the palace in less than a month.

"But you can't spend the night in the Governor's Mansion. If you want to have a banquet in the Governor's Mansion, please inform the little yellow gate of the Xining Hall to serve in advance, so as to save you and me trouble. Do you understand what I mean? ?”

Lin Chong nodded immediately, "Don't worry about the officials, I understand it. It's also for my own good."

"On weekdays, after breakfast, do you want to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army or go to the barracks for drills? You arrange the official business yourself. I usually go to the study of Zichen Palace to discuss or correct memorials. For official business, you follow the routine, I don't need to say more. For private matters, Don’t go to Wende Hall if it’s not urgent.”

Lin Chong nodded again. Wende Palace is the place where civil servants meet once every five days. Whether he is the emperor's husband or the governor, it is not suitable for him to step into the place.

"Don't worry, I will have a sense of proportion in these matters, and I will not act abruptly to embarrass the officials. During the day, I usually stay in the yamen or barracks of the five-army governor's mansion, and it is convenient for me to be a director."

Hu Sanniang nodded and smiled, talking to someone who understands is peace of mind, both of them just changed their sleeping places.Lin Chong, the palace affairs officer of the palace, will not take over. If there is any private matter between the two of them, I really can't think of it for the time being.

After explaining what should be said, Hu Sanniang invited Lin Chong to drive to Yanfu Palace.

The new site of Yanfu Palace is not in the imperial city, but was expanded by Zhao Ji later along the city wall.The buildings inside are poetic and picturesque, and most of the names are taken by Zhao Ji, which is very elegant.There are many palaces, terraces, pavilions, and pavilions in Yanfu Palace, and they are named after poetry. For example, the east gate of Yanfu Palace is called Chenhui, and the west gate is called Lize.There are Yanfu and Ruizhu in the main hall.And these pavilions are not there in vain. Most of the court ladies whom Zhao Ji favored were fortunate enough to be canonized, and most of them followed the queen in Yanfu Palace. live.

Lin Chong followed Hu Sanniang, walked around Yanfu Palace for more than two hours, and took a tour of Yanfu Palace.

"What's your impression?"

"It's unimaginably beautiful and luxurious. No wonder Zhao Ji abdicated in the end. How much money will it take to build this Yanfu Palace." Lin Chong thought of his private house silver and "dowry", and compared it in Yanfu Palace. It feels like a drop in the bucket.It is the luxury of Zhongjing. Compared with Zhao Ji's Yanfu Palace, it is not only crude, but even the edge of luxury is just barely touched.

At the beginning, Hu Sanniang forced Zhao Ji to leave the palace, but in the end she let him and his concubines take some floating money away.But most of the utensils, furnishings, etc. are left in their original places.Because vacant houses are the most vulnerable to damage, Yanfu Palace has to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources every month to maintain it. Therefore, after Hu Sanniang returned to Bianliang on the Yuan Festival, she moved the children in the palace from five to 12 years old to study here.

Because the empress got married, these children also had a three-day holiday and went back to reunite with their parents.

The empress and the emperor's husband visited Yanfu Palace until the end of Shen Shi, and then returned to the palace with dozens of court ladies and Xiao Huangmen following behind.

That night, Hu Sanniang was still resting in the Xining Hall, and she embraced and fell asleep with Lin Chong after a few times of love.

On the last day of vacation, after breakfast, Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong went to Genyue, the royal garden built by Zhao Ji in the former Song Dynasty with huge sums of money.Genyue is based on the Fenghuang Mountain in Zhejiang Province, and it is made of artificial soil.When Zhao Ji came to the throne in the past years, in order to prevent himself from being childless like Zhenzong, a good warlock instructed him to pile up earthworks in the northeast of the palace. World.

So Zhao Ji paid more and more attention to Gen Yue.The matter of Huashi Gang is about the construction of Genyue.It took more than ten years to complete the construction of Nagen Mountain.

The main mountain, Wansui Mountain (Gen Mountain), has dozens of large caves, in which are hidden realgar and lugan stone. glen.In Genyue, there are various artificial mountains formed by stacking Taihu Lake stones.

Hu Sanniang whispered to Lin Chong, "Look carefully, I'm going to sell Gen Yue."

"Sold it? Why?" Lin Chong was too surprised.

"Raise money to go north."

Hu Sanniang's air was taken for granted, "The household department is empty, and the lack of military resources is one of them."

"What about the second?"

Lin Chong knew about the land reform of several roads in Gyeonggi, and those who obeyed the court's redistribution of land could still keep the floating wealth.Some tyrants who dared to fight against the royal fields of the imperial court, such as Zengtou City and other places where human lives were involved, were not only killed and exiled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice one by one, but all their floating wealth was also returned to the imperial court.A large number of customers have left the main household to become the main household, and there is no tax exemption for sacrificing land, courtiers, and Jinshi.

Therefore, the household department is empty, and the lack of military resources is just an excuse for the empress, and the focus is on the second.

"Secondly," Hu Sanniang led Lin Chong to the Jieting Pavilion, the highest point on Longevity Mountain, and the accompanying ladies and little Huangmen were all left at the foot of the mountain by Hu Sanniang.There are two pavilions on the left and right of Jieting Pavilion, Jimu and Xiaosen on the left, Liyun and Banshan on the right.The two of them stood at the extreme eye on the left, overlooking the Jinglong River. From here, they could see the Gaoyang Winery and Qingli Pavilion beside the Jinglong River.On the north bank of the Jinglong River, a tributary of the river flows to the villa, called Huixi...

The autumn wind blew slightly, blowing the hair from Hu Sanniang's temples, and Lin Chong felt the itching on his cheeks all the way to the bottom of his heart.He stretched out his arms to embrace Hu Sanniang, and turned half around while hugging her, shielding her from the autumn wind blowing from behind.

"Should wear a cloak."

The lady in the court carefully brought a cloak to keep out the cold, but Hu Sanniang refused to use it. When the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain, Lin Chong regretted that he should have insisted.After only saying this one sentence, Lin Chong didn't say any more, Hu Sanniang's hands were dry and gentle, just like him.He laughed secretly that he had forgotten that Hu Sanniang was a martial arts expert, and silently watched Hu Sanniang waiting for her to explain the second.

"The second is to move the capital. Kaifeng is too remote. I can't calmly control the vast territory in the north." Hu Sanniang slowly expressed her intentions.

"So the government is going to sell Gen Yue? The palace is also going to be sold?"

"Gen Yue needs to spend some effort to sell it, and it may have to be sold separately. If these exotic flowers and plants, mountain birds and water birds are not sold at a high price, they will be sorry to Zhao Ji for digging rivers and bridges, destroying weirs and gates. What about the labor paid?"

"Have the officials decided to move there?"

"Not yet. It won't be possible to move in three to five years. It will take ten to twenty years to finally move."

Lin Chong suddenly choked up, it will take at least ten years to move in, and Gen Yue is going to be sold now?Well, now this Genyue belongs to the Hu family, Hu Sanniang can sell it if she likes it.

At the end of noon in Genyue, the two slowly returned to Xining Hall hand in hand.

The author has something to say: Lin Chong is the second-generation official. If you are interested, you can search for women in Water Margin.

There is an article: After Lin Chong was framed: what happened to his wife?The analysis of Lin Chong's psychological journey is very thorough. .
