Old things in the Red Chamber

Don't think it is embarrassing for a father to recommend his daughter to others.In fact, if such measures are not taken, the family will decline sooner or later.

Compared with the decline of the family, in order to save the family, you can risk your life, and you don't care about face at all.

During this period of time, Chang Wanghou was particularly concerned about the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince. Although he was shameless, it depended on who he was losing face in front of, and how to lose face was also a science.

Finally, he got the chance. Regardless of how old the Ninth Prince was, he still had to set aside some time every day to study with the masters in the academy.It's just that because of his old age and the fact that he usually has things to do, the masters in the academy don't have high demands on him.As long as he can come, Chang Wanghou seized this opportunity and blocked the Ninth Prince on the way.

If there is any characteristic of court officials, it is that their speech has always been half revealed, very cryptic, cloudy, and unpredictable.It is said that such a way of talking can’t be learned without working hard in the officialdom for 5 years

Regardless of his young age, the Ninth Prince has been in the palace since he was a child, and he often went to the emperor's study room. He has seen many ministers and knows what they should say when they tactfully persuade the emperor.So Chang Wanghou hesitated to speak, and he also understood the meaning.

The Ninth Prince sighed in his heart. After all, her parents knew about this matter. If her parents knew about it, they would inevitably make plans against her.

"Boss, you may have misunderstood. I will marry a concubine in a few days. Other things are simply things that have no shadow. If they haven't happened, how can we start?"

Chang Wanghou's heart turned cold, and he even felt that he had heard the rumors wrong. After the Ninth Prince left, he still wondered if someone deliberately tried to punish him, so he passed the rumors to himself.

"Fortunately, Lord Ninth Prince doesn't care about me a lot, otherwise these gossips will spread, how will our children get married in the future."

For the mother of the two girls, she didn't want to admit that she had passed the wrong news, but the palace directly rejected it. The daughters' climbing ladder had been broken, and there was nothing they could do next.

The stupid girl who knows nothing about all this doesn't take the things in daily life to heart at all.As a simple-minded person, as long as he has enough food, warm clothing and a good life, he will be happy in peace.

On the day when the Ninth Prince got married, he went to the street with his family to watch the bride being picked up.

They were considered nobles in the capital, so they found a restaurant and set up a private room where the whole family crowded together.It's just that this restaurant is built relatively low, so people talking downstairs can hear it upstairs, and the same reason people talking upstairs can hear people downstairs.

What's more, at such a time, the streets are noisy.Some people deliberately raised their voices to say that the man and woman who are going to get married today.

"It's not often that I want to see the nobles in the palace at such a time. I seem to remember that in the early years, our prince's mother went home to visit her relatives. The posture was magnificent and the line was long..."

"Why don't we say that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes?"

"Did you remember wrongly? Today, the prince's mother has never been back to her natal home. I heard that it was her aunt who went back to her natal home."

"Have you heard? This time the main concubine and a side concubine are cousins..."

The stupid girl was lying on the window, listening to the people downstairs talking about it, and sipping tea while eating cakes.

His brothers and sisters all despised her for her rude behavior and kept away from him one after another, but he didn't take it seriously.Until the marriage team appeared, the stupid girl was choked and rolled her eyes.

The maids quickly poured a cup of herbal tea into his mouth, and the stupid girl finally recovered, pointing to the procession team that was about to pass by and said to the maids, "I know that little brother, that day in the garden, We both had dinner together."

The servant girl didn't even take her words seriously, who is she, the high prince, the future prince, the future emperor.Who is my lady?The stupid girl in the countryside in the early years, the dumb eldest sister now, and the silly aunt in the future.

It would be amazing if these two people could sit at the same table and eat.

But when the stupid girl's sister heard it, she couldn't help but think about it.Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quietly walked to the girl.

"Sister, eat less, there will be a feast later," he took out the incense veil he was wearing, and wiped the corner of his sister's mouth while holding back his disgust.

"Don't you like my bright red dress? Anyway, I'll give it to you if I don't wear it."

The stupid girl likes bright red and green, but this kind of simple look is really vulgar in the eyes of the people in the city.

The stupid girl was very excited when she got the old clothes worn by her sister, because her sister was really kind to her.When my sister asked her about the son who had dinner with him that day, she naturally said whatever came to her mind.

"Sister, talk about him. The two of us did talk. He told me the other day that he was visiting relatives. He also said that his father was trying to find a wife for him. It was because his brothers were not around. Yes, the family is counting on him to carry on the family line.”

"Then did she say anything else?"

"Others?" The stupid girl tilted her head and thought for a while, "Maybe she said something? But I forgot."

The elder sister can only smile awkwardly, the intestines in her stomach are almost green with regret.

If I had known that this girl would meet the righteous master, I should have kept a close eye on her.It's too late to say anything now, the girl from the Meng family has become a concubine...

The elder sister has been calculating the friendship between herself and the girl from the Meng family, "Wait a few days before the sister of the Meng family returns home to visit?"

The combination of red men and green women is popular in marriage. When the bride in green dress was helped onto the sedan chair, the groom in a big red robe stood at the door of the sedan chair and said, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you back in a few days."

With a long sound of "starting the sedan chair", the ladies of Gao Ming who came to welcome the bride got on their horses and their cars, and the guards stared at the crowd like tigers and wolves.

Chuichuidai broke into the palace gate all the way, and was directly carried back to the bedroom of the Ninth Prince, and let them worship the heaven and the earth in the bedroom. As for the worship of their parents, they will have to wait until tomorrow.

Although people from outside dare not come to the palace to make trouble in the bridal chamber, the princes in the palace are not easy to dismiss.

A group of little radishheads rushed in regardless of boys and girls, followed by countless eunuchs, maids, nuns, and each prince and princess accompanied at least 10 people. These hundreds of people stood in front of the bride, which made the bride feel pressured.

"Where's the purse? It's said that you have to give my sister-in-law a purse when you enter the door. Is my sister-in-law too lazy to do it?"

The bride's dowry hurriedly took a basket of purses, each of which was exquisitely crafted, and took them out to distribute to these little radish heads. There were a lot of trinkets in them, all of which were valuable things, but these things might not be able to impress These little radish heads.

So after they took their things, they still had to make a fuss in the new house.

This is where the boys are the most naughty. Because the nineteenth prince is quite liberal in his brother's territory, he encourages his younger brothers to take off their shoes and run on the bed. A group of people have discussed it. Tonight Must lie on the wedding bed of the bride and groom.

"We're not going anywhere, and no one will come to hug us. If you dare to hug me, I will cry for you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will cry for you."

"No, no, we are going to cry to show my father, to let them know that the new sister-in-law likes to bully us."

The bride couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't say a word the whole time, it was all directed and acted by these little radish heads, and these monkeys not only jumped up and down, but also liked to touch things on her body.

Her tiara, her ring, and her earrings were all taken away by these little guys, regardless of boys and girls, if they saw it, they would put it on themselves, and if they saw a pot of flowers that bloomed well, they would also be removed.

At first everyone thought it was a joke from the children, but who knew that as time passed, this group of little bandits would go too far. They not only searched for everything they could see, but also set their sights on the bride's dowry.

The foster nuns didn't dare to persuade them harshly, they could only ask people to invite the Ninth Prince back quickly, and let him use his brother's status to suppress these little guys.

But the Ninth Prince did not rush back as some people wished, but stood in front of the emperor's dragon bed and watched the imperial doctor take his pulse with his eyes closed.

Standing up, one imperial physician stood aside with a pale face, while the other imperial physician sat on the stool tremblingly, and put his finger on the emperor's pulse. After a while, he also stood up with a pale face. , to vacate the seat and let another imperial physician come for diagnosis and treatment.

After finishing the treatment together, the three of them murmured together for a while before mustering up the courage to tell the emperor and the Ninth Prince about his condition.

"If you don't move your emotions and desires, you still have 3 to 5 years of life, if..."

"3~5 years," the emperor was not as angry as he imagined. Instead, he calmly arranged for the days to come after knowing when his deadline would be.

He waved his hands to let the imperial doctors go down, closed his eyes and said to the Ninth Prince, "Get a family and start a business, get a family and start a business, since you have a family, you should start a business. After a few days, I will announce that you will be crowned prince. During the years when I was ill, you To supervise the country."

It was a bit unacceptable for the Ninth Prince to encounter such a sad event on the day of great joy. When there were no outsiders, he couldn't help crying and threw himself in front of the emperor's dragon bed. We are not married yet, please take care of your father, your health is our greatest blessing."

The emperor smiled lightly, and felt that he was really strange. If he was in the position of his son, he wished that this old man would die early, and he would be able to own tens of millions of mountains and rivers, but he was in the position of his father. In reality, I only felt that what my son said was deeply affectionate, but in the position of the emperor, I felt that what my son said was extremely hypocritical.

I thought in my heart that what I said was something else, "I know that you are filial and go back. Today is your day of great joy. Don't disturb your mind because of this. You have married a wife. For you, you The major events in your life have already been taken care of for you, elder brothers are like fathers, if that day really arrives, you should remember what happened today, and treat your compatriots kindly."
