Practical Life in the Red Mansion

When Jia Min returned to her natal home during the Chinese New Year, she heard people say that Mrs. Qin had been bedridden, and she was prepared in her heart, but she was still a little regretful that she went there at a young age, and sent someone to Jia's house to inquire about the specific situation, when the funeral would be held and what would happen. How long does Shifa's funeral stop?Lin Yang didn't care when he knew it. According to the original book, Qin Keqing died early. He just thought that Lin Hai would be seriously ill at this time in the original book, and he was worried. He had to see Lin Hai with his own eyes every day.

The news of Qin Keqing's death not only spread among Jia's relatives and old friends, but also reached the emperor's desk.

Empress Mu was happily reading her nephew's letter, when she suddenly saw the emperor walking in with a gloomy face, she signaled the maids to go out, and personally served the emperor to return the coat reward.Emperor Jianing closed his eyes and sat back on the chair, held Empress Mu's hand and asked, "What did you say just now? I heard your laughter as soon as I came in." Empress Mu laughed remembering the contents of the letter, her voice It's as sweet as if Huangying came out of the valley: "Brother Zheng complained to me, saying that he is too busy every day to help Brother Yang find things."

Emperor Jianing was in a better mood, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" "Brother Yang's younger brother is about to learn how to ride a horse, and Brother Yang wanted to find a docile pony, so he entrusted Brother Zheng." The emperor nodded , Empress Mu pulled out her hand to help the emperor massage the acupuncture points.It took a long time for the emperor to say: "He thinks about his younger siblings all the time. I still remember that he asked Brother Zheng to borrow the books in the palace to show to his younger sister."

"Brother Yang is kind-hearted and taught, love brothers and sisters, and be respectful to brothers and friends." Empress Mu replied softly.As soon as the emperor stretched out his arms around Empress Mu's waist, he buried his head in her arms and said in a muffled voice, "I dreamed about the emperor and the empress again." Empress Mu gently stroked the emperor's back, "I really hate myself Watching them die, I feel so helpless.” Empress Mu took a step back and covered the emperor’s mouth with her hands, “Why should your majesty feel sorry for yourself? It will keep you safe, too."

The emperor shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, so what if I can avenge them, revenge is just to comfort the living." The queen turned her face away and couldn't bear to look at it.

Empress Mu calmed down before asking: "My concubine just saw that your majesty was in a bad mood, but what troubled you?" The emperor sneered when he heard Empress Mu mention it: "Do you remember that Yizhong once doted on a foreigner? There is only one illegitimate daughter left."

Empress Mu also remembered and said: "It was the one who was adopted later. The concubine remembered that she married Ningguo Mansion." "She died." Empress Mu was shocked: "Did she die at a young age?"

The emperor stood up and walked around the hall, saying, "Yes, so young." Empress Mu had a thought in her mind and asked, "Didn't she die of illness?" Empress, Empress Mu said angrily: "This Ningguo Mansion is too bold, how could it be the blood of the royal family to be so ruined."

Seeing the queen's angry appearance, the emperor stopped being angry and said with a smile: "What are you doing so arrogantly? You are just a shameless illegitimate daughter." The emperor pulled the queen to his side and said, "Father, he has always valued these old ministers. I have to give them to you." Ningguo Mansion has a face, let Dai Quan go there."

The emperor hesitated for a while, and slowly told the empress what the emperor meant. Empress Mu said angrily: "It is the ancestor's rule to enrich the harem, and the concubines will stop it." She held the emperor's hand and said softly: Your majesty, if you have me in your heart, I am very satisfied." The emperor seemed to have a warm current in his heart, but fortunately she was by his side to accompany him through those days, and he would not let her repeat the mistakes of his mother.

Jia Min listened to the mother-in-law below talking about the arrangements of Ningguo Mansion: "The funeral will be held in three days, and the coffin will be suspended for 49 days. One hundred and eight monks will be invited for salvation, and there will be fifty eminent monks and fifty eminent Taoists." Do things."

Jia Min couldn't help frowning: "Although she is the clan's wife, there are still elders above her. This funeral is too expensive."

But the successive news made her even more dissatisfied with Ning Mansion's actions. She couldn't help complaining to Lin Yang: "It's a bit too courageous to use the board that Prince Yizhong valued before."

Lin Yang picked up a cherry and threw it into his mouth, saying: "We can't let the store keep the board unused, but the Ning House still has the ability to get the board of King Yizhong." "Where is the Ning House capable? It's clear that the Xue family has the ability."

Hearing this, Lin Yang was almost stuck in the cherry pit, coughed a few times and asked, "Why is there still the Xue family? Isn't Xue Yuan still in the south of the Yangtze River? How dare the servants of the Xue family make their own claims?" Jia Min said: "Is Xue Yuan still alive?" In the south, but the wife of the Xue family went to Beijing again with their children, and the son of the Xue family decided to give the board to the Ning family." Lin Yang was dumbfounded, this pig-like teammate, Xue Yuan must have fainted from crying in office.

Jia Min babbled: "Isn't the girl from the Xue family born with a beautiful face? She is also old, and there are many suitable princes and princes in Beijing, so the Xue family is thinking about coming back."

Lin Yang couldn't help feeling that the power of the original work still exists, and asked curiously: "Isn't he living in Jia's house?" Jia Min glanced at him: "It's not that Xue's family doesn't have a house in the capital, so how could they live in a relative's house?" .”

Jia Min sighed and said: "I always feel that this thing is weird." Lin Yang didn't think so, "What's weird, it's nothing for the people in Ning Mansion to have a good face and show off." "But Dai Neixiang from the palace came out for a walk Burn the incense." Lin Yang said lightly: "Dai Neixiang is probably making money in private, isn't Jia Rong an official?"

Lin Yang was afraid that Jia Min would think about it and change the subject: "How can there be cherries in this season?" As he spoke, he picked up another one, and Jia Min said: "It was given to Brother Zheng from the palace, and he gave half of it to our family." " Jia Minmin said: "Brother Zheng has not lived in our house for long, but he knows how to be grateful. I am not afraid that you will be jealous. If he is not the son of Dongping County King, I really want to recognize him as my godson. "

It is rare for Lin Yang to be able to talk with Jia Min with Muxiu, and Lin Yang is going to get married soon, so the chances of this will be even fewer. Jia Min seemed to be very nagging today, pulling Lin Yang to talk non-stop: "Dongping County King He is also a cruel one, he treats such a son as nothing, and lives alone in the capital with his grandmother, no matter what."

"The son doesn't think he's alone. He has a grandmother and an aunt, and you and your father are taking care of him."

"What's the same, let's talk about this marriage, don't say anything else, he has also reached the age of seeing each other, but the words of the matchmaker are ordered by the parents, no matter how the princess is optimistic about the person, the king of Dongping County has to look at him and agree, and the princess also It's not his own grandmother, so it's not good to directly intervene in brother Zheng's marriage, don't you think his marriage will be delayed."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "How do you know it's not Mu Zheng who doesn't want to get married?" Jia Min raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? What did he tell you?" Lin Yang hurriedly explained: " He is now in Jinyiwei. You also know that most people in Jinyiwei get married after quitting. Secondly, he always checks the private affairs behind the family. .”

"What nonsense, there are so many noble families in the capital and it's impossible to find an inappropriate family." Jia Min was dissatisfied, and Lin Yang stepped forward and said with a playful smile: "There are not many noble families like us in Beijing. Who can be like that Gu?" You are as lucky to marry into our family as you are, with a mother-in-law like you who understands righteousness."

Jia Min was amused by him, and said in a low voice, "Do you know her boudoir's name?" Lin Yang originally rescued Mu Zheng, but he didn't expect to burn himself, so he said helplessly, "I know." Jia Min Still wanting to tease him, Lin Yang hurriedly said: "At this time, Daiyu's teaching brother Yun should be over, why haven't you come here yet?"

Jia Min said: "Didn't Zheng'er send a little pony? He said he would go and have a look with Yu'er after school. But it's time to come back." Then he ordered the girl to prepare refreshments.

Lin Yang said: "Brother Yun can't let Yan Yan enlighten him all the time, he has to find a serious teacher. It's a pity that Mr. Yang has gone to the Imperial Academy, otherwise it would be the best to let him enlighten." Jia Min said: "There is no rush, we have to wait until you get married."

Jia Min went to Ningguo Mansion on the day of the funeral, and saw all the expensive furniture from the capital, more than a hundred sedan chairs, all kinds of deacons and decorations, one after another for three or four miles away, it was very lively, and I felt strange The feeling was even stronger, but she didn't think about it for a long time, and her mind was all on Lin Yang's marriage.
