The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

As soon as Tu Minglang arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, those officials and businessmen came to him when they heard the sound. This family said that there was a reception banquet, and that family said that the banquet in Zuixianlou was the best. It is the first time for the prince to come to Jinling. Do you want to try it? taste?

Tu Minglang waved his hands, looking very impatient, "Master just got off the boat, and I'm still dizzy now." As he spoke, he glanced over, and asked the envoy beside him to send someone out, and the door of the house was closed , Thank you behind closed doors.

The place where he lives is the house of the Zhen family.

After the Zhen family was convicted, people sent by Tu Mingjin to Jiangnan ransacked the Zhen family.

When Tu Minglang and his group came to Zhen's Mansion, apart from the treasures that couldn't be piled up in the storeroom, there were only a few honest servants left. Of course, the furnishings in the mansion have not changed much.

The soldiers in charge of ransacking the house only dared to take some small things secretly, and dared not do anything else.

Now, His Majesty, he can't get used to corrupt officials the most. Didn't you see that the Xuanhe Zhen's family is all over?

Strolling around the house, Tu Minglang went back to the flower hall and sat down, playing with the white jade cup in his hand, and clicked his tongue, "Just transporting these things back to the capital, I'm afraid the emperor will have to spend a lot of money to expand the national treasury."

No wonder the fifth child had the confidence to compete with the eldest and the second child at the beginning. Money can make ghosts turn the clock, and the old ancestor sincerely did not deceive me.

Xu Huaisheng sat on the side, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't say a word.

I think His Majesty will not be in a very good mood when he gets this batch of property, but the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are somewhat relieved that the treasury will be more abundant.

Lin Ruhai on the other side looked at Xu Huaisheng, and found that he didn't intend to speak. He leaned forward slightly, cupped his hands and asked Tu Minglang, "Your Majesty, I don't know His Majesty's will..." One must know His Majesty's will before proceeding. .

"Brother Huang sent someone to escort the Zhen family's belongings to the capital. As for this king..." Tu Minglang smiled, with a cynical look on his face, "My king hasn't been here in Jinling yet. Get to know each other well."

"I haven't returned to Jinling for a long time, I have asked His Majesty to stay a little longer, just to accompany the prince to look around." Xu Huaisheng said with a smile.

Tu Minglang nodded, indicating that the two had reached an agreement, and then, with appropriate concern on his face, he said to Lin Ruhai very caringly: "I heard that the old lady in the family has been feeling unwell recently, and there is another person accompanying me. Imperial doctor, Lord Lin led someone to the mansion to show the old lady."

Lin Ruhai understood, thinking that His Majesty has other matters to entrust to the prince, he immediately said: "I thank the prince on behalf of my mother, it's getting late, I wonder where the imperial physician is now?"

The envoy appeared appropriately, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin, this way please."

Lin Ruhai thanked him again and again, saluted and bid farewell to Tu Minglang, and then left with the envoy.

Tu Minglang stretched his waist, got up and went to the backyard, "I'm going to take a rest first, and I'll go out tomorrow." Thinking of the "smiling tiger" I saw today, Tu Minglang calculated in his heart that after returning to Beijing, he must Let the emperor give him a good vacation.

Jiangnan's affairs were not limited to the Zhen family. Although Tu Mingjin didn't intend to smooth Jiangnan, it would be nice if he could take the opportunity to uproot the rotten roots in the ground.

Of course, the tasks of Tu Minglang and the others were not limited to this.

At the beginning, the first emperor had not only the private guards in the palace, but also a group of people from the general administration department, and they had not yet reported to the capital at this time.

Those people, the late emperor didn't know how much money and painstaking efforts he had spent at the beginning, but he couldn't let them disappear like this.

On the second day, Tu Minglang took Xu Huaisheng in disguise to "play" around Jinling City, swaggering around, and with a mouthful of Beijing slices, ordinary people only thought he was a noble son from Beijing.

After spending many days in the city, visiting the places that should be visited, and finding out the news that should be investigated, Tu Minglang hosted a banquet for the officials of Jinling, including some big businessmen.

Because there is still a national funeral, there are no singing, dancing and music, and even wine is replaced by tea.

Only when the "guests" had arrived did Tu Minglang take his seat.

Seeing Xu Huaisheng next to Tu Minglang, many people turned pale with fright, and a few even knocked over the teapot on the table by mistake.

When did Lord Xu arrive in Jinling? Didn't His Majesty only send Prince Zhongshun?

Tu Minglang didn't explain anything, he waved his hands with a smile, and greeted everyone to eat and drink.

Everyone smiled wryly, there is no wine or meat, how can you eat and drink well, besides, if you are worried, how can you be in the mood.

Lin Ruhai sat among the officials, with a flash of thought in his eyes, it seems that Min'er can pack up his belongings and prepare to go to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai thought so, but he didn't expect that the old lady at home suddenly became seriously ill, and the imperial edict was still on the way, and the old lady had already passed away.However, this is already a story.

Tu Minglang "disturbed the wind and the rain" in Jinling, which made people in the south of the Yangtze River panic.

But at the same time, Jingli was peaceful.

On the first day of the lunar new year, Gu Qinyuan went to Ci'an Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The empress dowagers and several unmarried princesses were all there.

Ever since the late emperor passed away, these concubines were quite uneasy, they didn't dare to go to Qianqing Palace to disturb the empress, so they could only go to Ci'an Palace to flatter the Empress Dowager, and the toffees who had princesses often brought their daughters to Ci'an Palace.

The queen mother is soft-hearted, seeing them like this, she can't say anything to make them come less, what's more, these princesses also want to call her queen mother.

When Gu Qinyuan arrived, the atmosphere in the hall was pretty good. The queen mother and the concubines were chatting about clothes and jewelry, with smiles on their faces, and the princesses were talking a few words from time to time.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen mother smiled and waved for Gu Qinyuan to sit beside her.

"Mother's place is so lively." Gu Qinyuan said with a smile.

The Queen Mother nodded at her with a smile, and began to talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family will gather together for a meal."

Gu Qinyuan nodded and said, "Okay." As she spoke, she turned her eyes to several sister-in-laws, the oldest was fifteen, and the youngest was only nine years old.

After observing filial piety, the oldest one should also get married.

As if aware of Gu Qinyuan's gaze, Yuqi pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded slightly at her.

Gu Qinyuan was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

After the concubines and princesses left, the queen mother sighed as she looked at the backs of the little girls.

"You and Lao Qiti mentioned to see if there are any suitable candidates in Beijing. After the filial piety period is over, we will first decide on Yuqi's marriage." The queen mother said.

Gu Qinyuan took the queen mother's hand, "The queen mother is kind and kind, and I must ask your majesty to choose the best young talents for the princesses."

The queen mother clapped her hands that were afraid of her, and said angrily: "What is the best, the most suitable one is the best." As she said, her expression was a little gloomy, "Your father doesn't pay much attention to a few daughters, the son-in-law is mostly selected for family background Pointing at random, you must know the life of Yurong these years."

Princess Yurong is the eldest daughter of the first emperor, and she married into a noble family. The son-in-law had a romantic nature. Although she married the princess, she didn't hold back her temper. As a result, he contracted syphilis and died.

The first emperor reprimanded the son-in-law's family, and sent someone to send rewards to the princess mansion, but he didn't mention the remarriage of Princess Yurong.

Princess Yurong guards her only daughter and lives in the princess mansion, except for going to the palace to pay her respects, she seldom goes out to socialize.

When hearing about Princess Yurong before, Gu Qinyuan just sighed, lamenting that for women in this era, getting married is like reincarnating.

But for some reason, Gu Qinyuan felt a little sour when she heard the queen mother say this, and she didn't know if it was because of the Princess Yuqi she saw just now, or because of the daughter who just called "Mother Queen" in Qianqing Palace.

"Why didn't the father say to choose another son-in-law for the eldest sister?" Gu Qinyuan pondered for a long time before asking.

The Empress Dowager's expression was very complicated, and after a pause, she said: "The court rewards chaste women, and the royal family should also set an example."

Gu Qinyuan secretly hated, these days kill men!

There is nothing wrong with a woman's celibacy, but it is really disgusting to reward a widow and imply that a widow will be unclean if she remarries.

The longer she lived in such an era, the more Gu Qinyuan felt the difficulty of being a woman, but for thousands of years, even that Emperor Zetian had men scolding him for being the rooster.

For a while, Gu Qinyuan really didn't know what to do, but she remembered the phrase "the economic base determines the superstructure".

The people around her hadn't spoken for a long time, the queen mother couldn't help but look at Gu Qinyuan, seeing her eyes were moist, she felt anxious, and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter, why are you crying, but the seventh bully you?"

Hearing the last sentence, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help laughing, "Queen Mother, how could Your Majesty bully me." As she said that, her cheeks flushed and she was a little embarrassed.

The Queen Mother thought it was funny, so she glanced at her, "Then why are you crying?"

Gu Qinyuan pursed her lips, and said, "I just think it's not easy for big sister."

The queen mother sighed, patted her hand again, and comforted her: "Yurong was born in the royal family. Although she met with unkind people, she did not worry about making a living. Even with her daughter's company, it is not too hard. Husband, what do you want to do here?" When she said the last sentence, a sharp flash of light flashed in her eyes.

Gu Qinyuan was a little surprised, she had never seen her mother hate someone so much, even Zhen Shi, she usually just couldn't see it, and rarely showed her disgust.

"Mother's queen." Gu Qinyuan opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "You said that one day, women can be like men..."

The Empress Dowager covered her mouth with her hand, with a nervous expression on her face, she whispered: "Don't say such things in the future." Such words, no woman, even the Empress, can mention them.

With her mouth covered, Gu Qinyuan was still a little dazed, but when she came back to her senses, she blinked vigorously at the Queen Mother.

Seeing that Gu Qinyuan understood what she meant, the queen mother let go of her hand, stroked her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief after a long while.

"Mother, son..."

Before Gu Qinyuan finished speaking, the Empress Dowager reached out and tapped her forehead, a little resentful of her lack of steel, and said, "Even if you become an empress, you must be careful when speaking."

Gu Qinyuan held the Queen Mother's hand, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I understand."

"You." The queen mother shook her head. She has been with this daughter-in-law for many years, so how can she not understand what she is thinking, and how the Gu family raises the daughter-in-law? She's just an ordinary lady from an aristocratic family.

On the surface it looked like a reproach, but only the queen mother knew that when she heard that sentence, her heart couldn't help but move.

Until now, she still remembers the days when she secretly studied the Four Books and Five Classics at her natal home, when she was very young.

Gu Qinyuan looked at the Empress Dowager, not knowing what to say, her heart was both moved and sour, moved by the Empress Dowager's friendship for her, and sour by the fact that such a good Empress Dowager would be trapped in the palace for decades.

Gu Qinyuan suddenly thought of those lovely girls in the red building, Princess Yurong, Yuqi...even Xi'er.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other speechlessly, they said that they had something to report outside.

The Empress Dowager looked upright and turned into that "Empress Dowager" again.

Gu Qinyuan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and only then did the beeswax come in.

Beeswa took small steps forward, blessed her body, and said: "The empress dowager, master, the concubine Chuxiu Gong Shugui sent someone to say..." After a pause, she said: "That talented empress has it body."

Gu Qinyuan and the Queen Mother looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The late emperor's body can still leave a posthumous child?

The author has something to say: I was stuck in traffic yesterday and didn’t get home until midnight, I’m sorry~

I overestimated myself, see if I can make up for yesterday's chapter tomorrow~

Like Chinese New Year, don't like socializing (crash)

Thank you Yunyi, Zu 123, and Little Swallow for flying mines~
