[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

Emperor Lin Ruhai's secret papers, I think he is obedient, with a little intention of keeping safe, and remembering that he lost his wife last year, he had an idea to go to the Empress Dowager's palace after the papers were approved.

In different history, some empress dowagers and emperors were at odds with each other. The emperor was sincerely filial to the empress dowager. Whether it was growing up or seizing the throne, it was the empress dowager who gave him the strongest support.

Sometimes when in doubt, the emperor would tell the queen mother.

The queen mother thought for a long time, "The salt class is a big deal. Now that he has come to surrender, it saves the emperor a lot of trouble. It is also possible to give a marriage. I remember that there is a Xiangjun in the Wang family of Zhijun, which is very suitable. I will handle this matter. Others The emperor just let go and do it."

The emperor said, "Thanks for your hard work, Queen Mother."

"It's just a matter of a few words." The queen mother smiled, "The queen just took over the harem, and she doesn't care about other things. When everything is sorted out, the emperor doesn't need to bother me anymore. She will help you."

The next day, he issued a decree to summon the princess of Zhijun.

The lineage of the Zhijun king was originally the uncle of the late emperor, but later he was demoted to a rank of nobility and became the Zhijun king.

Princess Zhijun didn't know what the Empress Dowager was looking for, so she chatted with her for a while before the Empress Dowager said, "You are a lucky person, and your sons and daughters are promising. Mingwei girl is sensible and well-behaved, and the Ai family likes it when she sees her. As for Mingyuan , the emperor said that he has done a good job in his errand this time, and he is about to reuse him."

Mingwei is the princess's descendant's prince, Mingyuan is the prince's son of Zhijun, the princess was delighted to hear the empress dowager's praise, she hurriedly thanked Enqian and said, "It's all thanks to the emperor and the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager only mentioned the matter of Xiang Jun, "Is Mingxuan okay?"

Mingxuan is the second daughter of the Prince of Zhijun, the title of the Township Lord, her biological mother is just the concubine of the Prince of Zhijun, and her family background cannot be compared with that of the Prince of Mingwei. Xuan is fine, but it hurts her vitality, she just stays in another courtyard and doesn't go out."

Mr. Mingxuan Township was originally married, or he was married to the eldest son of General Xu from Guangdong and Guangxi. He felt a bit of a family relationship. He didn't want the bridal sedan to travel halfway, there was turmoil along the coast, and Mr. Xu died in battle during the chaos.

The king of Zhijun couldn't bear his daughter's widowhood, so he sent someone to intercept the sedan chair and bring back the marriage.It's just that the etiquette is strict. Some people think that the Xiangjun is already a widow. Who would dare to marry someone from a better family, so I went to live in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. I lived in another courtyard for four years. I originally stayed for a long time because of the distant marriage. Today, it is already 23.

If you ask Princess Zhijun to say that the prince's matter is really unethical, if you fail to get married, you will almost form an enemy. Now that Mingxuan is in another courtyard, there is no difference between being a widow. It is better to stay in Guangdong and Guangzhou, with the county prince's mansion as your backer. No one dared to bully the festival woman.

"You are still young, you have to live on." The queen mother said, "There is a marriage here at Ai's family. I don't know if you like it or not."

Princess Zhijun didn't like it but was worried, because she said, "The Empress Dowager is gracious, we are only happy to be married by the Empress Dowager, but there is another matter here, rather than outsiders telling you, it's better for the concubine to tell you."

"If you don't tell me, the Ai family also knows that last year when the late emperor was still there, Mingxuan betrothed the third son of Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of War. As a result, just after the engagement, his son died of illness. Everyone said she was Kefu, right?"

The princess of Zhijun has a strong mental quality, and she was also covered in cold sweat by the queen mother. When the queen mother was a queen in the past, she was honest and generous. I don’t want to count the affairs of each family in detail today. The majesty is very serious. The princess family deserves to be defeated. In awe, he continued, "I found out later that the prince really cared about his daughter and was too anxious. His son had already died of illness, and he was waiting for Mingxuan to be happy. There has never been any rumors outside. Stop it, otherwise why Mingxuan can't return to Beijing and has to live in another courtyard. It's not a concubine who treats her badly. In the first half of her senior year, she now has a group of children."

"Take our girl to celebrate, Zhou Shilang is very grand." The queen mother said, but she didn't care about the previous court, and she just said one thing if she was unhappy, but the most unreliable one was the king of Zhijun, who was on par with King Zhongshun .

Princess Zhijun finished her confession, and said, "I don't know which family the Empress Dowager is talking about, we have to go back and make preparations."

"Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yanyan, has the princess heard of it?" The queen mother said slowly, "The fifth prince of the Lin family, Mr. Lin was born in Tanhua. Although he is a little older than Mingxuan, he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one mentions it. What happened in the past. What's more, there is only one daughter in the family."

Although the queen mother specifically said that she is older, this is not within the consideration of the Zhijun princess. To be honest, she is not her own. The princess is also under great pressure to raise such a township king who has been passed down as Kefu. Lin Ruhai The concubine of this person has naturally heard of this person. He was born in an official position. As long as Mingxuan gave birth to a son, he would be a serious heir.

From the point of view of the ancestors, there was Gusu Linhou when he first conquered the country. If it wasn't for the sparse population, it would still be a prosperous family even today.

"My concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness." Princess Zhijun got up to thank her, and accepted the marriage.

"Mingxuan's hard work has been rewarding, and the concubine of this marriage has to be well managed. It's also a little bit of kindness from the Ai family to send a congratulatory gift to the girl." The Empress Dowager laughed, "The Ai family bestowed Mingxuan with the title of county lord."

Daughter of the royal family, the princess is the county lord and the county lord, and then there is the county lord and the township lord. Mingxuan is the concubine daughter of the county king, and the county lord is also suitable, and she is one level behind Mingwei County lord.

Princess Zhijun could only knelt down and kowtowed again, and heard the empress dowager above say, "Don't worry, when Mingwei gets married, she will also have this kind of grace, and the Ai family will not treat one more favorably than another."

Princess Zhijun just keep these words in her heart, Mingwei is fifteen years old, she is in her prime, if she is crowned Princess, any family will support her.After returning to the mansion, he first went to the king of Zhijun and told about the Queen Mother's promise of marriage.

The king of Zhijun is really unreliable, and immediately said happily, "The queen mother bestowed a marriage, it would be the best, and let that bastard Zhou Shilang slap him in the face."

The concubine held back her eyes, "It's just that Mingxuan isn't honorable after all, and she's a continuation for others. If the empress dowager orders a marriage in public, and those old things have to be brought up again, it's not good for the girl. The empress dowager just said There is a marriage, we sent someone to Jiangnan to discuss with Mr. Lin, so let's do it."

The king of Zhijun was a little unhappy at first, but later he thought that the previous two marriages were well known, so he kept a low profile this time, and the real slap in the face was to wait for his second daughter to live well.

This side sent cronies to Jiangnan, and at the same time the emperor's reply was secretly sent back to Jiangnan.The emperor said to the queen, "When the time comes, you will also reward some things."

The queen replied, "It's natural, it's the first time the queen mother said kiss."

The young couple, who had seen the late emperor neglect the empress dowager again, because the emperor treated his wife fairly well, said with a smile, "You said that the empress dowager is like a matchmaker."

"That's what His Majesty said, the concubine didn't mean that."

"I gave him a daughter from the clan, so he should be grateful to me after all. When the time comes, let your brother go to Yangzhou to take a salt lesson." The emperor said.

The queen said anxiously, "Your Majesty wants to use my elder brother and just use it. He is not ineffective, but I don't know much about these things. Your Majesty and the Queen just talk about it, don't tell me."

The emperor was not annoyed, he frowned and said, "You are too careful."

The queen smiled, "I really don't understand, I missed your business."

It's a bit like the tone of the prince's mansion in the past. It is the best policy for close relatives and distant husbands and wives to leave room for each other.If it is the same as the first emperor and the empress dowager, they are as close as guests, and they have their own plans, what's the point?

Lin Ruhai was the confidant of Prince Zhijun who received him first, and he was not very good at that time.The Zhijun Prince's Mansion is similar to the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion. They are famous for being unreliable, but they are still trusted by the royal family. The only difference is that the Zhijun King is straight and does not have the preference of the Zhongshun King.

If he married the King of Zhijun, it would greatly alleviate the emperor's suspicion of him, but Lin Ruhai couldn't figure out that he had no relationship with the King of Zhijun, and suddenly agreed to marry Xu County Lord.It wasn't until Lin Ruhai received the emperor's reply that he heaved a sigh of relief, sorted out the salt lesson materials accumulated over the years, and prepared to hand them in.

Even though the marriage was bestowed secretly, she still had to marry. The county lord had a good background, so it wouldn't be a problem to educate Lin Daiyu.

When the decree to grant Mingxuan the title of county lord came down, everyone guessed whether they wanted to send this Kefu girl to the temple, and specially sealed it to be a fig leaf. They didn't want to inquire about it. up.Don't look at it as a marriage to be a sequel, Lin Ruhai is a second-rank official after all, and he is not treated badly.

There are corresponding specifications for the marriage of clan girls. The previous dowry is still in the treasury. The king of Zhijun felt that it was unlucky, and it was only of the rank of the township, so he bought it for his daughter again. Ten miles of red makeup is not an exaggeration.

It's just that it's easy for Lin Ruhai to handle the continuation, but Lin Daiyu is such a big daughter, so he told her directly that Daddy wants to marry you a stepmother?In the end it was Nanny Sun who went to the horse. Lin Daiyu hadn't given her mother's filial piety yet, and her father was going to marry another. She was really sad, her eyes were red, but she said, "Madam Sun, do you know which family's lady it is? Okay... get along?"

"It's the county lord of the Wang family in Zhijun." Nanny Sun said, the noble daughter of the palace is always a little angry, and she really can't answer whether she gets along well or not.

The Lin family has a very tight-knit population, and Jia Lian didn't even know that he was living in Lin's mansion. Now that he has got a Qiaozong, he is very happy to go back to Beijing. He wishes he could grow up in Yangzhou.

It turned out that when he went to the street one day, he ran into Miss Su again, and he hadn't seen her for a long time. Miss Su was not as beautiful as that day, she was much haggard, and she was a little lost when she walked.

As Jia Lian was walking, she was bumped by someone and was about to lose her temper when she saw Miss Su, haggard and haggard.

Miss Su's ecstasy eyes are now nothing but despair, she glanced at Jia Lian timidly, "I'm sorry, I bumped into you."

"It's all right, girl, do you still remember me?" Jia Lian laughed.

"How can I not remember." Miss Su couldn't roll her eyes. She colluded with the shopkeeper to cheat. With her beauty, every time she dropped something, those young masters rushed to pay for it. Only Jia Lian looked at it. The rich and noble son, a stingy half-dead man, didn't even take the bait when it came to paying back the money at home.

I don't want the store to be smashed by someone later, the shopkeeper ran away, the money she had saved was almost spent, and she couldn't find a job to make a living. After a few days, she became so haggard.

Jia Lian shook his fan, "If you have any difficulties, girl, you might as well talk about it together."

As we talked, we talked about the son's great kindness, and the little girl has nothing to repay, so she can only promise this old story with her body.Jia Lian also brought a handful of silver with her when she went out, and rented a small garden for Miss Su, and learned how to be charming in the golden house.

Besides, this girl Su, as Jia Lian thought for the first time, is really not of a serious background, and she has no surname or name, but they all call her Miss Su.It used to be a skinny horse raised in the Yangzhou Book House, but although she was born well, her qualifications were not good. The salt merchant bought it, but was kicked out because of the harshness of the big house.

Lin Ruhai didn't know at the beginning that Jia Lian had taken a cheating concubine as a concubine. Like Sun Nanny, Housekeeper Sun didn't have a good impression of Jia's family members. It's normal, I sent a servant to follow me all the way, and only then did I know that the young master is romantic.

Telling Lin Ruhai, it almost didn't disgust Mr. Lin to death.It's fine to find a side room, it's fine to find a skinny horse, it's fine to find a skinny horse, it's fine to find a bad guy, it's fine to find a bad guy, he was a liar before, what's the matter, if his son , No need to ask, beat half dead and kneel to the ancestral hall.

It's just that Jia Lian is not his son, so he can only be disgusted and forget it.

The spring breeze is ten li on Yangzhou Road, and Jia Lian is proud of Miss Su. He feels that this is true, and the spring breeze blows every day.But Miss Su wandered away several times, she was afraid after all, Jia Lian is from the capital, and she will go back anyway, what should she do by then.

This day she lay on Jia Lian's chest and said, "When will the second master return to Beijing?"

"I don't know yet, and I don't know what my uncle thinks. It's still dragging on until now. When it's hot, the road will be difficult." Jia Lian still has some brains, and only said that he shouted at home. Lord, the family asked him to come to Yangzhou to work for his uncle, and nothing else was said.

Miss Su cried pear blossoms with rain, "It would be great if the second master would not leave."

Jia Lian coaxed a few words and didn't promise anything. Miss Su just continued to cry, but she had an idea in her heart.She gave the porter ten taels of silver, and asked the porter to follow Jia Lian secretly to see which house he went to.

The concierge is a native of Yangzhou. He is very clever. He followed Jia Lian and Wang Er all the way without being discovered by Jia Lian and Wang Er. He saw Jia Lian enter a house. He happened to know this house. It belongs to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is a high-ranking official. His relatives were not far behind, secretly thinking that Miss Su was fishing for a fat sheep this time, and went back and asked Miss Su for ten taels as a reward.

Miss Su got Jia Lian's background, so she didn't worry anymore, these aristocratic families want face the most, if urgent, she would go to the Lin family to make a fuss, see which one is afraid of which.
