[Qing wear + Red Mansions] Guide to the Prince's Pampering Wife

Yin Zuo didn't know what Jia's mother thought of, he was concerned about other things now.

There are many things related to the battle of Junggar, not to mention, the matter of the military doctor, Erdun and the three princesses are still undecided!Rewarding for meritorious deeds is not something that happens overnight, it has to come in waves, right?Kangxi has been busy with this since he came back.

First, the front-line generals and soldiers. The firearms battalion led by Erdun made outstanding achievements in this battle. It is not too much to describe it as "becoming famous in one fell swoop". top.

The wing commander of the Firearms Battalion is a senior official of the third rank!Erdun is only in his early twenties!

But the army, it’s just about the ability to speak. Although Erdun has not been in the army for a long time, he has always performed very well. Otherwise, he would not be able to command the firearms battalion. As long as he personally killed the leader of the Junggar, Galdan, he deserves the third-rank official position!

No one had any objection to this, so Erdun sat in the position of the third rank at a flying speed.With his age and ability, plus someone to support him, it is not a dream to be promoted to the first rank in the future!

That's amazing.After all, Erdun's background is not bad, and the Fucha family is also one of the eight surnames in Manchuria.As long as they can speak up in the DPRK, this branch will be able to speak up, and after a few decades it will be a wealthy family.The young man is capable and sincere to the third princess. Apart from the loss of one daughter, Fumeng, there is really no choice in this marriage.

But to be honest, do you still need Fu Meng now?

Fu Meng Fu Meng, no matter how nicely you say it, you can't escape the word "Fu". Marrying a daughter in the past is to appease the Mongolian tribes, and to tell them that we are relatives, a family, we share weal and woe, and honor and disgrace are related!

Why appease Mongolia?For the stability of the border and the stability of the court!

One is that the Qing Dynasty belonged to foreign races entering the customs. Compared with the Han people, the number of Manchus was just like ants and elephants. In order not to be usurped, they had to form an alliance with Mongolia to ensure the stability of the court; The foreign races are eyeing the prosperous and fertile land of the Central Plains, and with Mongolia guarding the border, the Qing Dynasty can enjoy a lot of peace.

But time has changed, the Qing Dynasty has entered the customs for decades, and the people who still have an impression of the former Ming Dynasty are not dead, but they have reached their octogenarian years, and even if they are thinking about the former dynasty, what can they do?And now that the Qing Dynasty is in its prosperity, the common people live and work in peace and contentment. The common people, food and clothing are the most important thing. As long as they can live a good life, who cares whether the people sitting above are Han or Manchu.

The royal family has long been wary of the Han people. It used to shout that the banner people should not intermarry, but now it is more and more loosely controlled. There are not a few bannermen who marry ordinary Han people, and Kangxi never cared about it.It's Daiyu... raising the flag is just a matter of situation. In fact, Yinzuo's identity is here. If she violates the legacy of her ancestors, she is afraid that those old-fashioned people in Yushitai will blow their hair.

As for the border... the biggest trouble, Junggar, has been settled. In this battle, artillery and bird guns played a big role. The military strength of the Qing Dynasty not only caught Junggar by surprise, but also gave Mongolia a big shock.

In all these situations, in fact, Mongolia has little effect on the Qing Dynasty.We are not going to kill the donkey, but there is no need to call the princess Fumeng!

What kind of life did the princess live in Mongolia when she married?The living conditions are poor, and what’s worse, some tribes don’t treat princesses as their own, just like the Qing Dynasty did not allow people with Mongolian blood to be emperors, and many Mongolians are not willing to have people with full blood in charge of themselves The tribe, afraid of turning back and uniting with the Qing royal family to sell the tribe.I don't see so many young and bright princesses marrying in the past, but they died young in a few years, and there are no children under their knees. Could there be no tricks in it?

Naturally, not all tribes are like this. Some tribes wish to be closer to the Qing Dynasty, and they are also good to the princess. In the 30th year of Kangxi, she was married to Dagon, the second son of the king of Zhasakduoluo County in Bahrain, Monan Mongolia. After marriage, the husband and wife were very harmonious. The princess has a great say.

But such ones are a minority after all. Most princesses who marry in Mongolia will only spend a rough life.

In the past, there was no way but to rely on others.But now it is no longer necessary, can we try another way to connect with the relationship?

That's what the fourth princess thinks: "The military power is so strong, our attitude can be tougher! Don't you see that the Mongols in Beijing have shrunk these days? They also understand that today is different from the past, and they are more cautious. , It can be seen that Mongolia is also afraid. The stick has already been beaten, and now they can be obedient as long as they are given a sweet date. There is no need to give a large piece of honey, and it is too sweet. Eating too sweet is not good for the body. Sixth brother, don’t you think so?”

It's winter, it's time to eat pot.Yin Zuo set up a few tables in Qiandong No. [-], and invited the princes, princesses and Fujin to eat the pot together.The princes sat at the same table, Fujin and the princesses sat at the same table, separated by a screen, they couldn't see each other, but they could hear and talk, they were all blood of the same family, so there was no need to pay too much attention, let's all talk together.

Yinzuo knows why the fourth princess said this, she is not too young, Kangxi planned to choose her a son-in-law a year or two ago, and the selection was naturally from Mongolia, but the fourth princess was not happy, and tried to find a way to delay Up to now, it can be regarded as having the confidence to refuse.

She said confidently: "In the past, I had no choice but to figure out how to live better in Mongolia, but now that I can not marry, why do I have to go to that barren land to suffer? If I can stay in the capital, I will naturally stay in the capital." Life is easy, and I can't let go of my mess."

What she manages is not just a few factories, but the hope of women going out of the house.She is still looking forward to the day when more and more women will rise up, how can she give up so easily?

At the beginning, because of this, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well at night. I didn't expect that the big brother had developed gunpowder and bird guns that were useful. The military strength of the Qing Dynasty had reached a big level, and she immediately had the confidence.

Anyway, she has already made up her mind, she is not willing to marry to Mongolia, it is best if Khan Ama agrees, if Khan Ama does not agree, she has to fight for a while.

Yinzuo admires the fourth princess anyway, she never wastes her energy on impossible things, she only thinks about how to live better in a bad situation and do what she wants to do.But once she has an opportunity, she will firmly grasp it, and try her best to find a way out for herself.She never suffers from herself, she just tries to grab what she can.Such people can live well no matter where they are placed.

He laughed and said, "Ama Khan also has plans. I heard that he hasn't mentioned your marriage for a long time. It seems that it's since the artillery was successfully developed, right?"

The fourth princess nodded: "Yes."

"Khan Ama loves my fourth sister," Yin Zuo said, "I heard that the son-in-law originally chosen for you is Dundobdorji, the king of Khalkha County. I have seen this man when I go back to Khalkha. Their abilities are all top-notch, and they have made meritorious service this time, Khan Ama used his heart to pick people."

Naturally, no matter how good this man is, the fact that he is a Mongolian is enough to displease the fourth princess.Kangxi didn't want his daughter to marry far away, so once the cannon was successfully developed, he stopped talking about marriage immediately. His plan was similar to that of the fourth princess, and he had to wait until after the war to make plans.

Thinking about it this way, the fourth princess probably doesn't need to touch Meng.

Yinzuo said: "Fourth sister, just rest assured."

The fourth princess nodded, glanced at the third princess who was not very interested, and said comfortingly: "Third sister don't have to worry, Khan Ama loves us, so she must be concerned about our wishes. Erdun has made such a great contribution this time, Khan Ama can't say anything, and she will definitely marry you. It's just that I'm busy with making arrangements for the previous court, so I can't take care of it for the time being."

The third princess forced a smile, she understood the reason, but she couldn't rest assured if things were uncertain, the longer it dragged on, the more worried she would be.

It's been half a month since I've been back to Beijing, and it's almost time for the rewards to be awarded. When will the decree be issued?

The third princess didn't wait long, and within a few days Kangxi decreed to marry her and Erdun.

The three princesses are happy, and so is Yin Zuo.

"There's more than one good thing!" Yin Zuo smiled, "The military doctor has sealed one fifth-rank, three sixth-rank, and seven seventh-rank. Everyone is happy now. If Khan Ama approves the expansion of enrollment, it should Don’t worry, no one will sign up.”

Daiyu was happy for Yinzuo, clapped her palms and said with a smile, "Now it's all about how you persuade Khan Ama."

Whoops!

Yinzuo waved his hand: "It's nothing serious."

Daiyu: "..." Saying you are fat makes you gasp, doesn't it?

Yinzuo smiled, took Daiyu's hand and rubbed it twice, and said, "There is another good thing, guess what it is?"

Daiyu wondered, "Is it related to me?"

Yinzuo nodded: "That's right."

Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a while, guessing: "Now the court is talking about rewards, and the one who has something to do with me...is the second brother-in-law? I heard that he also made meritorious service this time, has he been promoted? "

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo leaned back in his chair, and said with nothing to love: "It's not good if Fujin is too smart, I can't hide anything from you!"

Daiyu glanced at him: "What are you trying to hide from me?"

"I don't have anything to hide from you, but isn't that too uninteresting?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Then I will pretend not to know next time."

Yinzuo: "...it doesn't have to be."

He leaned on the chair, held Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Qi Zhongwu has been promoted to the fourth rank, which is considered rare. Miss Jia Er will be happy when she finds out."

"It's natural!" Daiyu snorted softly when she thought of something, "I'll also tell that picker to take a look, Mr. Mo is a poor relative who beats the autumn wind!"

Yinzuo suddenly said: "Is Qi Zhongwu not good at the Jia family?"

Daiyu nodded: "I heard from the second sister-in-law that the second sister went back several times after marriage, but the grandmother and uncle were indifferent to the second brother-in-law, and they always had provocative words to the second sister. not enough."

Yin Zuo frowned, the Jia family was too arrogant.

Even though Qi Zhongwu's family background is not obvious, and his official position is not high, he is still young, and he is valued by the chief, so there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

What about the Jia family?Guarding the title of a Duke is actually a relegation to the rank of a noble. As for Jia She, who is now the head of the family, he only has the pretense of being a first-class general and has no real power at all.

In the past, there was Jia Zheng in the imperial court. Even if he couldn't say anything, at least he had good news. Since Jia Zheng was dismissed, the Jia family has nothing left, and even their wealth has been squandered. It's nothing more than an empty shell. To put such a high airs on Qi Zhongwu, he really stayed in a high place for a long time and couldn't get down.

How did Daiyu not know that the Jia family was doing something wrong?It's just that she has been hurt by Jia's mother a long time ago, and she doesn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.Besides, Mother Jia was dissatisfied with Yingchun's marriage and complained to her and Wang Xifeng in private, blaming them for choosing such a family for Yingchun, and she felt that Daiyu and Wang Xifeng were bullying Yingchun. How can you not be discouraged when you get such an evaluation from Jia Mu?I'm even too lazy to take care of it.

"Anyway, Second Sister has the right idea. She only focuses on living a good life with Second Brother-in-law. The relationship between husband and wife has not been affected, but the relationship has become better." Daiyu sighed, "But Second Sister is afraid that she has an affair with her grandmother."

Yin Zuoxin said that Jia's behavior is so domineering, who would have no knots?I just hope she won't regret it in the future.

Qi Zhongwu was promoted, Yinzuo and Daiyu were happy for Yingchun, and even specially sent congratulatory gifts to him.

The Qi family had just received the decree, and they were very happy, and now they received a congratulatory gift from the palace. Eldest brother and Yin Zuo each had a share, and they felt very honored.

Qi Bowen, the eldest brother of the Qi family, tentatively said, "You should ask someone to go to the Jia's house and say something."

Qi Zhongwu was wronged in Jia's house, and Qi's family also knew it. Because Yingchun treated Qi Zhongwu wholeheartedly, they had no objection to Yingchun, but felt aggrieved for Qi Zhongwu.

Now that he's been promoted, it's time for Jia's family to take a look at Zhong Wu's abilities!

Qi Zhongwu didn't care about his face or not. In fact, he thought it was a good thing for the Jia family to lose face.

In the beginning, Xiang and Yingchun got married. Firstly, because Yingchun was born and everyone was well-educated, it may not be that he didn't want to rely on Jia's family.But after carefully inquiring about the Jia family's affairs for the sake of marriage, and contacting the Jia family a few times after getting married, he dismissed this idea.

Qi Zhongwu is a smart person, so he can naturally see that the Jia family's gold and jade are in ruins. If it just goes downhill, that's all. Which family can last forever?It is a necessary process for every family to go from the blooming flowers to the silent ending. Before the marriage proposal, the elder brother also said that Qi Zhongwu was mentally prepared.

But he didn't expect Jia's family to be like a mud pit, bullying men and women, disregarding human life, and doing nothing less than breaking the law and discipline.This is because they don't have much ability, so they didn't make a big mess. If they had ability, with the temperament of this family, I don't know what it would be like!

Qi Zhongwu really liked Yingchun, but he was also really afraid of Jia's family, for fear that one day he would commit a major crime and drag himself down to death.Coincidentally, the old ancestor of the Jia family didn't like him, so if he didn't like him, he didn't like him. He used this excuse to slowly stay away from the Jia family, so as not to be disturbed among them. If something happened to the Jia family in the future, he wouldn't As for being implicated too much, if you can help, you should help, if you can't help, you won't be scolded for being ungrateful.

He really didn't care about the Jia family's indifference towards him, but the elder brother was all about trying to make up for him, and looking at Yingchun, he was full of anticipation, obviously looking forward to him being proud, so he couldn't say no.He could only laugh and said, "It's according to the rules. Then ask someone to announce the good news."

Yingchun called the dowry maid and sent her to Jia's house to announce the good news, while she discussed the celebration with the Qi family.

You've been promoted, it's time to congratulate, don't make too much publicity, just invite relatives and friends to get together, it's just lively and lively.

Sister-in-law Qi is a neat person, she took Qi Bowen and Qi Zhongwu with her, and after a while, she set a date for the banquet and began to draw up the guest list.The other ones can be prepared slowly, but the invitations for the guests have to be written and sent as soon as possible. You have to give them time to prepare, right?

The Jia family was on this list. According to their expectations, there were not many people coming from the Jia family, there should be three or two, and they didn't even think about whether they would come.

But people really won't come!

The person who was sent to announce the good news came back and said: "Ms. Jia said that the second master of Hexi has been promoted, and there is still something to do at home, so she won't come to visit."

The Qi family was silent, what could be bigger than the matter of grandson-in-law Gao Sheng?It's just that the old lady has no time, and none of her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are free?Even if they don't have all of them, there should be some congratulatory gifts, right?

It's not about coveting something, what I want is an attitude!With the Jia family losing face like this, could it be that they don't want this relative?

Yingchun sat down beside Qi Zhongwu with her head down, but her eyes gradually turned red.

Qi Zhongwu squeezed Yingchun's hand while no one was paying attention, and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry too much."

Then he raised his voice and said with a smile: "If you don't come, don't come. It will save us a lot of time. Just now, my sister-in-law was still worrying about how to entertain the Jia family. She was afraid that our food would not be fine and treat them slowly, and she was planning to invite someone from outside." Is a chef coming back? Now it’s easy, and a chef who cooks fine dishes is not cheap!"

Mrs. Qi gave him a blank look. If she can save face, who cares if the idea is worth money?

But she didn't say much. She knew that Jia's family looked down on her, and now she felt uncomfortable. It was not unacceptable, but she made up her mind that she would never stick to other people's cold ass again!They don't have to rely on the Jia family to live their lives, and Qi Zhongwu doesn't rely on the Jia family to get promoted.

After comforting Yingchun, even if the matter is over, the Qi family held a feast for the guests as planned.As expected, no one from Jia's family came, and anyone who didn't wink would ask, "Why didn't your in-laws come? They must be from a big family, and they don't like our small family, right?"

Sister-in-law Qi opened her mouth and rounded things up in a joking manner, while Qi Zhongwu on the other side just smiled wryly, and then stopped talking.

Who doesn't understand what this means?It's just that they don't look down on this side!

It is said that Jia's dog sees people as inferior, and said that it is useless for Qi Zhongwu to climb up to a noble girl, and this is for nothing.

It's not very nice to say, but it's right in Qi Zhongwu's arms. Now it's time to let people know that he and the Jia family have a bad relationship, so that they can logically stop contacting each other.

Qi Zhongwu was entertaining guests and coaxing Yingchun to be happy. He was so busy that he didn't have time to find out what happened to Jia's family, and he only found out after a few days.

It turned out that Wang Xifeng came to the door in person. Even though Yingchun was depressed because of Jia's family, she could only be grateful to Wang Xifeng. She hurriedly invited her in and sat down. The sister and sister-in-law sat facing each other. I was promoted to the fourth grade, I was so happy in my heart, I was about to come to congratulate me immediately. It was just that something happened at home, and I was stumped for a while. Now that the matter is resolved, I will come to congratulate and invite my sister Don't blame me for being late!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" Yingchun handed the things to the maids and told them to take them away properly, then wondered, "Is something really wrong at home? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Wang Xifeng snorted: "It's not our family, it's the big brother of the Xue family."

He told me about Xue Pan's involvement in the murder case: "It was Aunt Xue and the old ancestor's worries, and it had nothing to do with me. I have all the time to congratulate, but... the old ancestor is in a bad mood, so it's inevitable. Be cautious."

I understand, I'm afraid the old lady will get angry!

Yingchun nodded: "It would be great if my sister-in-law could come, no matter when."

Wang Xifeng took her hand: "We sisters, when it comes to being gentle and considerate, if you are called the second, no one will dare to be the first!"

Yingchun lowered her head and smiled, looking very embarrassed.After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "My sister-in-law just said that the matter of Brother Xue's family has been settled, but how did she solve it?"

"The government has already convicted Xue Pan. Because Xue Pan did not kill intentionally, but manslaughter, he was sentenced to exile, but the government leniently allowed him to use money to pay for the crime."

Yingchun was surprised and said: "This...isn't it only the criminals who can use money to pay for their crimes? Xue Pan has no official position!"

"Hush!" Wang Xifeng looked around and saw that the servants were all married to Jia's family, so she said in a low voice, "You can't do this logically, but there are human feelings beyond legal principles. We found someone..."

Yingchun: "Who is it?"

At the same time, Yin Zuo also asked: "Who is it?"

The method of convicting Xue Pan is not complicated: first, try to delay the trial process of the case, and then donate an official to Xue Pan, so that Xue Pan will have an official status and can use money to pay for the crime after the verdict.

The Xue family did spend a lot of money and shed a lot of blood, but it was worth the money to keep the only male.

What makes Yin Zuo curious is, who gave the green light to the Xue family together?Yes, this matter cannot be done with the help of the Xue family and the Jia family alone.Not to mention why the delay is not called a trial, even donating an official is not so easy, but Xue Pan still has a case in hand, how can he be qualified to donate an official?How can the process be done so quickly?Who would believe that there is nothing tricky in it?

Anyway, Yin Zuo didn't believe it.

Deqing didn't believe it either, so he asked someone to investigate as soon as he heard the news, and now he has found some clues.

He leaned to Yinzuo's ear and told the story.

Yin Zuo frowned: "How could it be him?"
