old lady in red

After Shui Che, the prince of Wu County, returned to his mansion, he went to pay his respects to his mother and concubine's Huatang. Looking at her thin figure, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought of the crimes his mother had suffered.

He knew that his younger brother would be like a snake and a dragon.

Wujun Wangfu will usher in a new height.

This is the opportunity that many people dream of.

However, he just felt uncomfortable.

He asked his father, why didn't his mother have the right to know?

The father said the timing was wrong.

The emperor's grandson needs the mother's true feelings as a cover.

Shui Che also knew that at this time, if there was even the slightest mistake, not only would the emperor and grandson suffer badly.

The entire Wujun Palace is also over.

Under the nest, how can there be any eggs!

The mother is also implicated.

My sister just gave birth to a nephew, and my wife is pregnant with a child...

Shui Che could only remain silent.

Shui Che felt that something had to be done.

When Shui Che returned home, he discussed with his daughter-in-law, and asked her to send the son to the mother's room to take care of her when the daughter-in-law was busy.

They are busy, leaving their sons to keep their mothers company.

Shui Che knew that her mother-in-law couldn't let go of her fourth brother.

Fu Hui is a typical scholarly woman.

And my husband is gentle and considerate.

The intercourse arranged when she was pregnant was just a display by the husband.

She is happy to be filial to her mother-in-law: "All listen to your husband."

After participating in the suppression of bandits this time, Shi Mei finally feels at ease.

The children have all grown up.

Although the gangsters in Iron Net Mountain are fierce, Jia Cong and Jia Zhu's ability can also deal with them.

Let's say that Ye Yun came back from the feast three days later, on the tenth day of the winter month.

Shi Mei talked to Ye Yun.

Ask Ye Yun what requirements he has for his sister-in-law.

Ye Yun knew that her grandmother would not aim at nothing.

Said: "The situation of our Ye family is that we are neither rich nor noble.

The granddaughter-in-law means that it doesn't matter what kind of family it is, as long as the girl is literate, capable and honest, and her family background is clean. "

Shi Mei laughed when she heard this.

This Ye Yun misunderstood.

She thought that the daughter of the Jia clan she introduced was the one who spoke like this.

However, in general rich families, if they marry a daughter of a big family, they will never marry a girl of the same generation.

Changing the reputation of a relative is not good.

Of course, if it is difficult for Ye Zheng to marry, Shi Mei doesn't mind finding a wife for Ye Zheng in the clan.

However, now that there is a better marriage, Shi Mei will definitely not push it away.

After Ye Zheng's marriage is settled, Ye Yun can focus on her husband's family and not be distracted.

Ye Zheng is capable and can also help Ye Yun.

It's a complementary thing.

If a daughter-in-law like Xia Jingui came in, Ye Yun would not be enough to clean up the mess for them.

Shi Mei asked Yang Shi to come over to the mansion, and asked Yang Shi to personally introduce the girl from the Qu family to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun immediately smiled brightly, and bowed to Yang Shi: "Thank you for your concern, auntie, let Zheng'er kowtow to auntie tomorrow."

This is the marriage that is willing to see each other.

Yang was very happy and said: "What are you talking about? Don't say that you take care of Rong'er, but just say that Rong'er and Zheng'er get along well. If something good happens, you will naturally think about him."

Then, Mrs. Yang said that again: "Now it's the New Year's Eve, and everyone is busy. In the first lunar month, Mrs. Xu will come to my house to visit relatives. At that time, my nephew and daughter-in-law will go to help my aunt to accompany the guests, and meet Miss Qu by the way.

If you like it, let's talk about the following things. "

Ye Yun asked: "How old is the unknown girl?

Uncle, don't get me wrong, Zheng'er is seventeen this year, and next year, she is planning to return to her hometown, Qiuwei, and take part in the examination the year after.

This marriage will have to wait until the next year, I'm afraid the girl won't be able to wait. "

Yang said: "No more, the girl will be born on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and she can wait another three years. As long as the marriage is settled, this age is not very old."

Ye Yun laughed when she heard this: "This age is very suitable, and Auntie Lao has to worry about it."

The marriage is said to be completed, and Yang's heart is flattered.

This matter was explained in front of the in-laws.

Rong'er also has face.

In a blink of an eye, Laba, the Rongning Second Mansion began to give porridge outside the city again.

On this day, Mrs. Xu, Shimei Zhang, Yang Yu, Hu Yanran, Shuiling and Ye Yun welcomed the spring to celebrate the spring. This group of female relatives from the Rongning Second Mansion met by chance at the west gate.

Mrs. Xu also joined Mrs. Chen to build a porridge shed at the gate of the city.

Mrs. Xu wants to donate sesame oil to the temple because the girl is doing well this year.

Mrs. Chen persuaded her that instead of going to the temple to donate sesame oil, it is better to build a porridge shed at the gate of the city.

Although it is said that the world is in peace now, there are still many people who can't eat.

The beggars in the Tianqi Temple outside the city were still in groups.

It cannot be said.

This encounter was also a coincidence.

Mrs. Chen and the others are serving porridge at the east gate, and Rongning Second House is serving porridge at the west gate.

Then, the two groups of people just met on West Street.

When you meet, find a teahouse to have a cup of tea and talk.

Shi Mei, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Xu, these people sat at the table and talked.

Hu Yanran, Yu Shi, Shui Ling, and Ye Yun sat at a big round table with their sister-in-law.

Two grandmas and two young ladies from the Chen family, and a grandma from the Xu family, and the two girls sat at a tea table.

Although it is not a table, everyone is drinking tea in a warm pavilion, and they can see each other.

The voices talking to each other are audible.

The Xu family brought two girls, one of whom was Qu Feng.

Hu Yanran was in a good mood, talking with the two grandmas of the Chen family, the two girls were cousins.

Yingchun, Xichun, and Tanchun are very familiar with girls from the Chen family.

These few people used to be members of a poetry society.

After Yuanchun and Ye Yun got engaged, Yingchun Xichun was detained and went home to study common affairs. Later, she had to go out with Zhang to socialize, to gain popularity, and to prepare for marriage, so she spent less time together.

I don't know how happy I am to meet you now.

Soon, several grandmas sat together, and girls from the Xu family of the Chen family in Rongfu sat together.

The girls got to know each other very quickly, and they started chatting.

To welcome the spring and cherish the spring, I am very familiar with the two girls of the Chen family and have a good relationship. Together, we recall the beautiful things in the past and the stupid things we did in the past.

Everyone laughed together.

Mrs. Zhang coughed several times here, and the Yingchun people couldn't stop here.

The grandma of the Xu family here didn't know the grandma of the Rongfu.

The young lady of the Chen family introduced her in the middle, and she recognized her within a few clicks.

These are frequent visitors to the circle of noble ladies in the future, so it is natural to talk about them together.

Ye Yun, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at the two girls of the Xu family.

Although I don't recognize Qu Feng.

However, Ye Yun recognized Miss Xu, so naturally she also recognized Qu Feng.

Shi Mei was also looking at Qu Feng.

As expected, she was exactly as Shi Mei guessed.

Although Qu Feng has a beautiful appearance, her eyes are clear and dignified.

However, she is a little reserved and not lively.

Yingchun and the others were all smiling and whispering in their ears.

She just smiled.

Listen more and talk less.

Shi Mei noticed that she had been quietly refilling the tea for the girls.

Then put the refreshments within reach of the girls.

When Yingchun said something and asked for her opinion, she would also give her own opinion.

Very big sister demeanor.

Shi Mei could also see from her eyebrows that she was very envious of the three sisters who welcomed the spring and cherished the spring and explored the spring.

She always gave a knowing smile when the three of them met to discuss.

Ye Yun's first impression of Qu Feng was also very good.

As for not being talkative, Ye Yun reckoned that she had just encountered an accident and met a stranger for the first time, so she chose to remain silent and protect herself.

And Ye Zheng is frizzy and childish.

The Ye family needs such a prudent daughter-in-law to help her husband and establish a family.

During this meeting, Ye Yun was more satisfied with Qu Feng and the marriage.

Then, the Rong Mansion received two more accounts in the annual gift.

One is the Xu family and the other is the Qu family.

The Xu family and the Qu family are in the officialdom, even if they have no children, it is reasonable for them to take the initiative to make friends with Rongfu.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Emperor Jiahe still lived in Tangquan.

Shi Mei, Yang family, Zhang family, Shui Ling, Ye Jun, Hu Yanran, with these orders, they don't have to go to the palace to suffer from cold and hunger.

The only downside is that Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian of the Rong Mansion cannot participate in the ancestor worship.

The person who participated in the sacrificial ceremony in Rongfu became Jia Cong.

This day Mrs. Zhang discussed with Shi Mei, and Jia Min introduced two more families.

She didn't dare to make a decision.

Yingchun Xichun, as the daughter of a second-rank official, cannot marry independently.

I have to ask the empress to show me.

Shi Mei thinks so.Don't settle the marriage, the emperor comes to make trouble.

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Shi Mei prepared a piece of Yushanzi with a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and handed over the sign with Zhang's Hu Yanran and Shui Ling Ye Yun.

For the matter of welcoming the Spring Festival, Shi Mei can do it when she enters the palace alone.

However, the granddaughter-in-law will be in charge of Zhongfu in the future, and these things must be learned.

Shui Ling didn't need Shi Mei's recommendation.

However, the whole family will go, but she will not be taken along.

Shi Mei was afraid that she would have ideas, so she took them with her.

The queen and Shi Mei are now good friends.

Hearing that Shimei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are visiting, she is busy asking people to come in.

Shi Mei led his daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law to kneel down and worship.

The queen raised her hand and said, "Mrs. Duchess is welcome.

Your Majesty has already spoken, Mrs. Rong, don't kneel, but you insist, there is really nothing I can do about you. "

Then, he ordered the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be seated, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at these little girls who are like water onions, I am really jealous."

Shi Mei laughed and said, "Your Majesty just likes to joke."

He said again: "The minister's wife is looking for a thing for the empress, and she is checking it. Wait for you to see if you like it."

The queen waved her hand and said, "Why did you stop me again? Didn't the palace say that the female family members of the Duke of Rong's mansion are invited to come in directly."

But it was the servants of the Rong Mansion who stopped him.

The nanny didn't dare to tell the difference, and brought in a box with a brass lock back with the maid.

The queen wondered: "Oh, this is, why is it such a big box?"

The Rong Mansion presented melons and fruits to the empress, but they were packed in wicker baskets, which was clear at a glance.

Jade is also hidden in a small box.

This is the first time for such a big box.

Shi Mei ordered to set up a mountain with a hundred birds facing the phoenix.

There was a gasp in the whole Yikun Palace.

The whole mountain is a eucalyptus.

The colors of the birds are different, some are jade white, some are emerald green.

However, the phoenix in the middle has a golden crown and dots of gold on its wings.

The surprise in the queen's eyes couldn't hold back: "Is this gold powder?"

Shi Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, touch it."

The queen wanted to make a move, but was stopped by the nanny beside her, and she stretched out her hand to touch it.

Then, there is no slight bump feeling.

She scratched her fingernails instead, and then reported with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the true color of jade."

The queen was very pleasantly surprised: "The red peony is also the real color?"

Shi Mei nodded: "It's rare to come across such a complete set of materials, but the carver is a bit troublesome, and he has to use all the colors with all his heart.

I don't know how many blueprints have been scrapped, but the empress should reward the Rongfu with some decrees this year. "

The queen laughed and said: "There is really nothing else to say, the four treasures of the study are enough.

Xuan paper made by the emperor, your grandchildren of Rongfu have ten knives in each hand.Tomorrow, let the internal construction office deliver it to the family. "

Shi Mei was busy thanking her for the reward.

There are private schools in Rongfu, women's schools, and ethnology in the clan.

The more rice paper, the better.

Then, under the guidance of the maids, several young wives went to watch the empress's conservatory.

Only then did Shi Mei tell the Empress about her request: "Come today and ask the Empress to do something, my two girls are both fourteen this year..."

Needless to say the following, this is not the first time Shi Mei has done this.

The queen nodded: "I understand this.

In the past two years, His Majesty has not thought about it that way, and the rest of the people have no such right.

Don't worry, even if you want to re-draft, you have to go through Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will never let them be selected again. "

Shi Mei said: "We can't wait until the end of this matter, it will be settled next year, and we will discuss marriage this year.

The meaning of the minister's wife, the working lady issued a decree to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to write a sum on the roster of our children: according to the decree, we will marry by ourselves. "

The Empress laughed and said, "Madam is too careful.

Let's do it, I will make an order here. "

Sure enough, the Queen gave the Rong Mansion a decree.

Shi Mei helped the Empress grind ink.

The empress ordered the name of Yingchun Xichun, and then used the phoenix seal.

Shi Mei sighed in her heart, it's a pity that Tanchun is only 11 years old, otherwise it would be great to ask for an exemption together.

This matter cannot be faked, otherwise it is the crime of deceiving the king.

After the empress made the decree, people would naturally tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that there was such a thing.

Shi Mei didn't just point at the empress.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and his sons to go home from Tangquan to celebrate the New Year.

Shi Mei asked Jia Amnesty to operate it, gave the head of the House of Internal Affairs a generous gift, and watched him add a note to Yingchun Xichun's name.

In this way, even if someone makes a mistake in the middle of a busy schedule, it will not be in the name of Yingchun Xichun.

Of course, the queen's imperial edicts are registered in the palace, so I'm afraid that someone will not take the empress's imperial edicts seriously.

Staring at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I copied all the numbers of the Queen's Yizhi, so I am not afraid of someone making trouble.

Now it's the countdown to Zen.

The emperor's grandson Shuiyang is only ten years old.

If Yingchun and Xichun are drafted, they must be the harem of the fourth prince.

Once the fourth prince ascends the throne, the prince will be Shuiyang.

To welcome the spring and cherish the spring, in case a child is born, how will the Rong Mansion deal with itself?

Can you watch them suffer in the palace?

If you can't bear it, if you get involved, what will happen?

What Shi Mei has to do is to prevent the passing of time and cut off all possibilities.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Ning Mansion treats guests.

Ye Yun reached a covenant with Mrs. Xu.

The Ye family invited a matchmaker to come to their door to propose marriage and discuss Xiaoding's date.

After all, the girl is already fifteen years old.

The matchmaker directly invited Jia Jing Yang.

Mrs. Xu was the matchmaker for this matter, and Mrs. Xu was the matchmaker.

It's very cheap to negotiate these two times.

Because of discussing Ye Zheng's marriage, the two parents got to know each other better and became closer.

Then, Ye Zheng and Qu Feng's small engagement ceremony was set on the eighth day of June.

The eighth day of May is the wedding date of Jia Rong and Xu Ning.

The meaning of the two families is to wait for them to rest for a period of time once the wave of happy events is over, and then do Ye Zheng's small engagement ceremony.

Ye Yun invited Yang Shi to be a matchmaker, so he naturally obeyed the matchmaker's arrangement.

Ye Zheng is still three years away from turning 20, so she has plenty of time.

Mrs. Yang met and discussed with Mrs. Xu, so she learned that the woman's dowry had increased to [-].

I was very happy in my heart, which showed that the woman valued Jia Rong.

This day is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Qingyu and Jia Zhang return home together, preparing to participate in this year's children's examination.

This is Lin Ruhai's decision.

Qingyu Jiazhang is 16 years old this year, and it's time to test the waters.

What Lin Ruhai said about testing the waters was not really just testing the waters.

This shows that the knowledge reserve of the two of them can already be tested as a scholar.

It was rare for Jia Min not to worry this time.

With Qingyu's kung fu, ten or eight ordinary people are no match for him.

Instead, Mrs. Zhang was a little worried.

Jia Zhang doesn't like to practice martial arts, he is the worst among his brothers.

Mrs. Zhang came to discuss with Shi Mei, and wanted Jia Cong to accompany Jia Zhang to return home for the exam.

Anyway, Jia Cong was going to participate in Qiu Wei in August, so he simply got up early to make a company with Jia Zhang.

Parents love Duanchanger.

Jia Zhang doesn't like to practice martial arts, but it makes people feel uneasy.

However, no matter how much you love the little one, you can't delay Cong'er's future.

Shi Mei frowned and looked at Zhang for a while.

Mrs. Zhang was a little apprehensive: "Mother thinks it's inappropriate?"

Shi Mei usually gets nervous when facing the lives of her children and grandchildren, or the survival of her family, and even commits a foolish act.

Mrs. Zhang is a big and small matter, as long as her son is involved, she will be frightened.

Shi Mei reflected, did she pamper Zhang too much, leaving her no room for growth?

However, this matter cannot be turned sharply all at once.

Shi Mei said: "I don't think this is appropriate.

Cong'er wants Qiu Wei, and it's already agreed.Attend Ronger's wedding in May and leave again.

Right now he is in the final sprint stage. Didn't you see him running around the Zhang family in Linfu every day?

You have interrupted their arrangement, I'm afraid the children will have something in their mind.

As for Zhang'er, although he is not good at martial arts, he still has a few tricks, which are much better than ordinary scholars.

Aren't there eight guests in the family?

Wouldn't it be enough to send Jia Gui and Jia Qiong to follow?

Jia Gui is also a scholar, well-versed, and Jinling has Jia Shu and Jia Ban to take care of him, what do you have to worry about?

However, this is just my thought.

After all, the son is yours, and the daughter-in-law is also yours. Whatever you want, they will probably follow you.

Specifically how, you think about it. "

Mrs. Zhang thought to herself, no matter how talented Jia Gui is, how can he compare to Jia Cong, a compatriot with both civil and military skills?

He also thought that Jia Cong was about to enter an official position, so he should seek fame.This is a lifelong event that cannot be ignored.

Mrs. Zhang blushed a little, and said, "My daughter-in-law understands."

Then, Jia Zhang went to Jinling together with Qingyu.

What Shi Mei didn't know was that before Zhang's visit to Rongqing Hall, he had tested Ye Yun.

Ye Yun actually didn't want Jia Cong to go out at this time.

One is a young couple newly married.

Secondly, he didn't want to delay Jia Cong's time.

On the road at this time, the road is cold, and I can't eat or sleep well all the way. How can I feel comfortable when I go on the road in May?

However, Mrs. Zhang treated her very well.

She didn't say she didn't dare, she was really embarrassed to refuse her mother-in-law.

She didn't know what Jia Cong was thinking, so she just said that she would listen to her mother-in-law's arrangement.

As a result, Jia Zhang left, and her mother-in-law did not come to see them.

Jia Cong didn't know about this matter at all.

Jia Cong felt that Jia Zhang was a man, and he went to Uncle Lin's house alone when he was 14 years old.

Jia Zhang is sixteen, so what's the problem going back to his hometown?

Didn't think about it at all.

Ye Yun observed her mother-in-law's face when she asked for peace this day. She was afraid that Jia Cong would not take the initiative to accompany Jia Zhang, and her mother-in-law would be angry.

Mrs. Zhang was peeked at by her a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said angrily, "What is Cong's daughter-in-law looking at? I'm afraid there is honey on my face?"

Ye Yun said: "That's not what I meant. My daughter-in-law went back to pack the package. As a result, Brother Zhang'er has already set off."

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Well, I thought about it later, Cong'er is in a critical moment now, so it's not appropriate to be distracted.

Take good care of him, don't let him be distracted by trivial matters, and strive to go to high school this year. "

Ye Yun was busy saluting: "Daughter-in-law wrote it down."

Zhang said: "What does Zheng'er mean?

I see why he still goes in and out with Rong'er every day? "

Ye Yun said: "Zheng'er can't study well, so I guess she's at the top of her talent list.

He plans to go to Jinling to participate in martial arts with Brother Rong in July.

Martial arts is not a day and a half day's work.

These days, he is in Ning Mansion helping to lift the light and heavy, which is also a kind of training.

There is an assessment in martial arts, and you have to walk around with a [-]-jin package on your back. "

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her eyelids twitched wildly: "I know about this, your father-in-law told me when he came back, and I was so scared that I couldn't fall asleep all night.

You said that if you can't bear it, how can you bear it, it's too scary..."

Ye Yun secretly laughed.

Uncle Jia Lian is still the champion of martial arts!

The mother-in-law only remembered how pitiful the father-in-law was.

This is because Ye Yun didn't know that Jia Lian had miraculous skills, but Mrs. Zhang did.

Only then did I feel that the husband's assessment was even more frightening.

Because of this, Mrs. Zhang didn't like Jia Cong taking the martial arts examination, and only allowed him to take the imperial examination.

Mrs. Zhang herself is also practicing, but it only has health-preserving effects.

She knew that Jia Cong hadn't practiced magic skills so far.

Today's Rong Mansion is just like the Great Moon Dynasty, that is, the world is peaceful and thriving.

Zhang is at the helm of the big policy in the mansion.

Then, the general affairs below are presided over by Shui Ling and assisted by Ye Yun.

For social gatherings in the ladies' circle, Mrs. Zhang usually leads the two daughter-in-laws to show up.

Shi Mei is now an ancestor who eats spicy food.

Welcoming Spring, Cherishing Spring, Tanchun Xiangyun and others live in Cuiweixuan in Rongqingtang.

Granddaughter Daiyu also often comes to visit.

These little girls often start poetry clubs.

Shi Mei is the old president who contributes money and effort.

Shi Mei played with the girls all day long, listening to them recite poems and fu, as if she was still that 20-year-old college student.

The grandparents and grandchildren climbed mountains together, danced swords and practiced yoga together.

Not long after, I got tired of playing in Cuiwei Mountain.

At this time, the ground in Kyoto is full of spring.

Shi Mei took her granddaughter and granddaughters out of the city for an outing.

Shimei has a wish, to take advantage of this opportunity, before she turns 70, to see all the scenery around Kyoto.

Then try the food of the whole Kyoto.

She took a group of granddaughters to climb Fragrant Hills in Spring.

I am going to visit Baijia Village, Cao Xueqin's second hometown.
