old lady in red

Shi Mei was also very depressed, her good mood was ruined.

I originally wanted to visit farmers, but I couldn't.

Shi Mei also wanted to comfort a few little girls along the way: "No matter who it is, dealing with others is just a word of reason.

The beach is a nobody, we come first, they come later.

We did not expel them, but also gave gifts.

We are polite, so don't be afraid. "

Yingchun frowned: "But he is the emperor, can we really reason with him? We didn't bow down, is there really no problem?"

Shi Mei said: "The river beach is not the imperial court, he is in modest clothes and has no intention of summoning him. If he rushes forward without being summoned, he will be offended instead."

In person, the Son of Heaven really can't say a word, can't take an extra step.

This is not chasing others, but the survival rule of this dynasty.

After Shi Mei got home, she made soothing soup for the children.

In the evening of this day, Jia Lian went home.

Jia Lian was afraid that his grandmother would be worried, so Tete came back to explain, but His Majesty did not blame him.

Shi Mei couldn't help asking: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly go to Baijia Village?"

Jia Lian said: "Concubine Fu Xian came to the palace today to ask for an audience, she said that the fifth prince had a son, asked His Majesty to give her a name, and wanted to hold a full moon ceremony for the child.

His Majesty did not agree.

Concubine Fu Xian knelt at the gate of the palace, took off her hairpin, and said she was willing to forgive the fifth prince, and begged His Majesty to release the fifth prince and his son.

Then, several clan relatives also came to intercede for the fifth prince, saying that at least let Concubine Fu Xian support the little grandson.

The clan's mansion is out of sight, so it's really not suitable for raising children.

His Majesty was in a bad mood, so he decided to go for a walk.

Last time, His Majesty went to Baijia Village and felt that the place was clean, so he wanted to go fishing to relax. "

Shi Mei frowned: "When was it born, why haven't I heard of it?"

Jia Lian said, "Everyone in the palace knows.

It's just that His Majesty doesn't care, and everyone doesn't care. I didn't expect Concubine Fu Xian to contact her clan to come forward. "

Shi Mei said: "Aren't these people afraid of offending the Fourth Prince and the First Prince?"

Jia Lian said: "The eldest prince has no sons, and the fourth prince is not very popular."

The status of concubine De is not as high as that of concubine Fu Xian.

The clan members also cast their nets widely. They probably think that the fifth prince has a certain degree of competitiveness, so they dare not offend Concubine Fu Xian and the fifth prince.

Under the guise of caring about His Majesty's heirs, His Majesty is not easy to get angry, so they are aggrieved.

After all, now that the prince is withered, His Majesty will also consider the suggestion of the clan.

The fifth prince will come out sooner or later. It has been six years since he was imprisoned for ten years. "

The only fifth prince who was not poisoned had a son.

Shi Mei couldn't help sighing: "No wonder Your Majesty is in a bad mood, the world is going to be troubled again."

Seizing the heirloom has always been the most dangerous, Rong Mansion has been forced to get involved.

Shi Mei could only advise: "Your Majesty has been recuperating outside the palace for a long time, you should be more careful in the future."

Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty has decided to move back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Shuiyang will also study in the imperial study.

My uncle was granted the title of Bachelor of Hanlin University, and was transferred to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Rites and concurrently as Master of the Imperial Study.

The chief assistant, Du Ge, is the chief master of the imperial study.

His Majesty ordered Shuiming, the grandson of Prince Zhongjing, Shuizhao, the grandson of Prince Yu, Shuizhao, the grandson of Prince Ying, and Shuiqing, the grandson of Prince Rong, to be attached to the Imperial Study Room. "

Emperor Jiahe finally stopped hiding.

Shi Mei asked: "Can you resign as a martial artist?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "It's just that I taught the emperor's grandson alone in the past, but now, all the imperial guards are responsible for teaching the emperor's grandson."

Shi Mei said: "This is to hand over all the imperial guards to the emperor's grandson, that's fine, as for you, you can spend more time with your daughter-in-law."

Take advantage of the current peace and give birth to all the children that should be born.

But Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty ordered me to put more energy into the Ministry of War. Your Majesty will issue an order soon to let my grandson also serve as the deputy commander of the patrol battalion."

Wang Ziteng is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yan Hou has the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Jia Lian can infiltrate any department in the Ministry of War.

Of course, the patrol battalion is the foundation of Wang Ziteng.

Shi Mei said, "Where is Wang Ziteng?"

Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty will appoint him as the inspector of the nine provinces, and he will go out to Beijing to inspect."

Upon hearing this, Shi Mei felt that this topic was very familiar, right?

Then, Shi Mei suddenly remembered: The Xue family, the Xue family is going to the capital.

Xue Wang has been a widow for more than three years, and it's time to go to the capital.

I don't know if the poor Xiangling fell into Xue's hands again this time.

Shi Mei asked: "Then is there any news from the Xue family?"

Jia Lian said, "There really are.

Does grandma still remember the incident with Sun Shaozu?

Jia Yucun, who was repelled by his father all the way, later became a disciple of the Wang family.

Uncle Wang recommended him to go out of Beijing to be an official, and he happened to be the prefect of Yingtian Mansion.

This time Idiot Xue ordered the evil slave to beat someone to death, and it was this person who mediated for him.Reported the idiot Xue to his sudden death.

He also wrote a letter to express his merits, and Uncle Wang was so angry that he cursed, saying that Jia Yucun is a stick, and this time he will go out of Beijing, I am afraid he will clean up Jia Yucun. "

Shi Mei just smiled: "Let's see, if this matter breaks out, it will definitely have an impact on Wang Ziteng. Oh, your second uncle has nothing to do with this matter, right?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Second Uncle has been with His Majesty all along, and the relatives of the Wang family have an account of the Second Wife's matter, so the Xue family will not tell Second Uncle such a secret."

Shi Mei hurriedly said, "Let your second uncle come home and see me."

Jia Zheng was busy going home this day and went to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects.

Shi Mei then asked: "Do you know anything about the Xue family?"

Jia Zheng nodded: "My son knows something about this, but the Xue family, Xue Pan, is really lawless."

Shi Mei nodded: "It's good if you have this attitude. Let me make a statement first. The Jia family cannot accept Xue's family as a guest, and Xue Pan's family history cannot be contaminated. The children of the Ming'er family also followed suit. We were more than [-] years ago. Years of hard work were in vain.

It's not easy for you to climb to the position of servant now. "

Jia Zheng nodded: "Why should mother worry about this matter, my son absolutely cannot tolerate murderers harming my descendants of Jia's family."

Jia Zheng left.

Shi Mei suddenly slapped her head and remembered something.

Jia Dairu's grandson Jia Rui, I don't know what happened to this little bastard.

When Shi Mei thought of this, she couldn't wait any longer.

May is Jia Rong's wedding day, so don't let this kid out to be disgusting.

Shi Mei recruited Jia Xun's daughter-in-law for questioning.

In this life, Jia Xun did not go out with his tribe to make a living, and he is still alive and well.

Now going to the south to buy fruit is also for the capable servants to go.

Three years ago, when Jia Xun bought goods from Jiangnan and returned home, he suffered a serious illness.

Shi Mei was very flustered at the time, so she asked Imperial Physician Wang to check his pulse, but it turned out that she had typhoid fever, and said she had eaten something unclean on the boat.

As a result, several fellows who went together also had typhoid fever, and it was unknown who had infected whom.

Shi Mei teased the doctor to prescribe and take medicine together, and no one had an accident.

I don't know if it is because of this that I have passed the test of life and death. Jia Xun's daughter-in-law became pregnant again last August.

She often walks around the back streets, so she should know about the affairs of the clan.

Shi Mei invited her to question: "The people in this clan are all okay now, and I can't go around in person. If you know which family is in trouble, tell me. We are all the same ancestors, and we can't leave any family alone. "

Jia Xun's daughter-in-law said: "Don't worry, every family is not worried about their livelihood, not even the lazy ones, no one is afraid of the Fifth Lord, whoever the Fifth Lord is after, it won't be finished if he doesn't shed a layer of skin."

Shi Mei said: "Is it true that the world is peaceful? How is the Sixth Grandpa's house?"

Jia Xun's daughter-in-law said: "If you talk about the Sixth Great Master's family, it's a happy family. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. You are a teacher in a private school. You have a high seniority. Everyone in the clan will greet you when they see you.

During Chinese New Year, Spring and Autumn, if you have something delicious, you will give a copy to the sixth old man. It can be said that everything is worry-free.

In one case, the sixth grandpa lost three sons, and the sixth wife valued her little grandson more than her eyes.

The people in the clan knew that their family was in a difficult situation, so they all gave in to Rui Ge'er.

Fortunately, the Sixth Grandfather is strict in discipline, Rui Geer has no major problems, but he thinks too much of himself, so he doesn't deserve it, and he always thinks that he will soar into the sky in the future.

At the age of marriage, it is hard to look at each other. The sixth grandmother found many girls from good families for him, and the clan also helped.

However, he didn't like any of them, Ye said he wanted to find a stunning woman, otherwise, he would rather not marry. "

Shi Mei said: "I remember Brother Rui is eighteen to nine this year?"

Jia Xun's wife said: "Where is he? He is 16 years younger than our head of the family. Brother Rui landed in the year when his niece and daughter-in-law married, and he will be twenty this year."

Shi Mei smiled: "Oh, brother Xun is 36, brother Yun is fourteen?"

Jia Xun's daughter-in-law said: "Yes, they are as old as his two aunts. At that time, my granddaughter-in-law was very rare about the two younger sisters who welcomed the spring and cherished the spring."

Shi Mei said: "You're 34 now, everyone take care of yourself."

Then, Shi Mei saw Jia Xun's daughter-in-law's step-stopping jade pendant was a little dim, and gave her another jade pendant: "It's usually fine, walk to my place more often."

In recent years, because Jia Zhu and Jia Lian got married one after another, Jia Xun's daughter-in-law was busy with the business of the shop, so fewer people came to Rongfu.

People always have relatives.

She came too often, afraid that the two younger siblings would have ideas, so she should leave some free time for the younger siblings to cultivate their relationship with their ancestors.

Now that Jia Yun is going to talk about marriage, Jia Xun's daughter-in-law is thinking about it, and she wants to come in to say hello to Mrs. Zhang and help introduce a well-established daughter-in-law.

After all, Jia Yun wanted to take the road of imperial examination.

Now, Shimei happily accepted Shimei's invitation.

Shi Mei then packed a pack of supplements and sent them to Jia Xun's wife.

Zhang's water spirit and Ye Yun were all moved by the news, and they all gave gifts to Jia Xun's daughter-in-law.

Then, Shi Mei invited six old ladies into the mansion to talk.

Tip six for the old lady: "Since you like stunning beauty, look for it in the countryside, don't look at family background, just look at character and appearance, you can always find it.

If he can't be difficult to serve, you don't care.

It's not enough to let the child go like this, Ruige'er is already twenty, if you don't tie a bridle to him, if you drive him into Huazhi Lane tomorrow, it will be too late for you to cry. "

When the sixth old lady heard about Huazhi Alley, she immediately became nervous. The people living in Huazhi Alley are all hidden doors that are half open.

Then, Shi Mei got the news.

The sixth old lady was really busy when she went back, she searched and found a suitable girl for her.

Who is it?

It turned out to be Jia Xun's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, the son of her natal brother's family, and the eldest sister of her fiancée.

What is the surname of this eldest sister? Her surname is You, and her name is You Zhenzhu.

Then, why didn't she ask for a kiss at the age of 23?

Because she died when she was 12 years old.

Before she was filial piety, his father married her a stepmother.

This stepmother is the daughter of a side branch of the Shi family.

It is said that this stepmother is so charming that he coaxes Father You to treat her like a sweetheart, and he treats her two daughters better than his own daughter.

No, it's for the stepdaughter Xu's family and Zhang's family who are also city gate officials.

Don't look down on the city gate officer, the city gate officer is also an eighth-rank officer under the admiral of the nine gates.

It's just that this eighth-rank official doesn't have a long lifespan, so I don't know if it's Kefu, a woman from the Shi family.

You Shi was 15 years old and was about to say goodbye when his father fell ill.

This disease lasted for more than a year, and then died.

Youshi is 17 years old.

After three years of filial piety, this is twenty.

She was also unlucky, she also talked about a marriage, the other party was the eldest son of the county magistrate's family.He is old with Youshi's father.

Then, as a coincidence, last year Emperor Jiahe finally promised a large number of beautiful girls to go home and get married on their own.

The county magistrate's immediate superior's family has an unmarried daughter.

At first, it was to be a concubine, and she was not allowed to be married at the age of 15. Now it has been delayed for three years, and she is eighteen.

Although this girl is not as beautiful as Youshi, she is richer than Youshi.

There is a dowry of five thousand silver.

Youshi's father's family property was squeezed dry by his stepmother.

She only has one thousand silver left by her mother, and one hundred acres of farmland.

Youshi was divorced, and those two women rushed to get married within three months, and they already had living things in their stomachs.

Youshi is ill, and this year, he will be 23.

The news was told by Jia Xun's wife to Shi Mei: "Brother Rui is satisfied this time, and the sixth old lady is looking for a matchmaker. It is estimated that the marriage is coming soon, and both of them are old enough."

When Shi Mei heard this, the whole petrified.

Three You in the Red Chamber!

To appear so tenaciously in the Jia clan!

Shi Mei really has all kinds of tastes in her heart.

Then, the sixth old lady came to have a hard time with Shi Meitu.

The sixth old lady didn't dislike the girl's age, but she hated Mrs. You very much. She was in her thirties, and she was still dressed like a fairy, alluring and indecent.

It is said that he hooked up with many junior officers at home, not sure.

There are also two young girls from the You family, although they are only twelve or thirteen years old, they are already full of charm.

Shi Mei intentionally instigated her to withdraw the marriage: "If you are not satisfied, just find another family. There are so many beautiful girls in the world, why bother to get angry?"

The sixth old lady said: "That's what I said too, Rui'er is a villain, he doesn't like the daughter of a good family, but this time he is very satisfied.

He also said that if he failed this time, he would not marry.

His grandfather even said that when a man dies and his husband suffers misfortune, he should be sympathetic and not despised.

He also said, didn’t our family also have three sons who died in the same way?

We are all poor people, let's help each other.

Second sister-in-law, tell me, my child died young, is it the same thing to be a widow with her?

Now, the old man has already invited his eldest nephew, daughter-in-law and his fifth wife to be matchmakers, and I can't even stop him.

Are the grandparents and grandchildren trying to piss me off! "

Shi Mei felt very ashamed: "Six younger siblings, I'm the one talking too much."

The sixth old lady said: "Why do you blame this?

It’s not that you urged us to find this household. Brother Xun’s brother-in-law had already mentioned it to us, but I didn’t think he was treacherous and slippery, and his business was like a thief, so I didn’t solicit it.

This time he was the one who lured Brother Rui to go to see her by himself, ouch, my heart aches when I say it. "

Shi Mei hurriedly asked Yuanyang to pour a cup of spiritual tea for the sixth old lady and drink it, and she felt much better.

Shi Mei couldn't say anything up to this point, but You Shi was actually quite capable.

Furthermore, the Sixth Elder Master took a fancy to Youshi's ability and insisted on hiring him. It's really not that sister-in-law Shi Mei can stop him.

Shi Mei said: "It's better to wait for the daughter-in-law to come through the door, and you should be more strict, and don't allow her natal mother to come to the door.

After all, she is just a stepmother, as long as she doesn't come to our house, we don't care how crazy she is in our house, right? "

The sixth old lady cried and complained, but she had no choice but to comfort herself, the daughter-in-law herself was not bad.

Then, Xiaoding passed on the eighth day of April, and the wedding date was on the sixteenth day of the eighth month.

This day has really become an auspicious day for Jia Shi.

It is better for Jia Rui to have a wife than to have no wife.

On the eighth day of May, Jia Rong got married.

In the Rong Mansion, except for the Wang family, everyone went to watch the ceremony.

On the tenth day of May, Jia Cong, accompanied by Jin Feng and Jia Luo, returned to Jinling to participate in the autumn.

Ye Yun originally wanted Ye Zheng to go with Jia Cong.

However, Mrs. Zhang said: "Let Xiao Ding go on the eighth day of June, let Xiao Ding go with Rong'er."

Originally, Fang Xiaoding himself did not need to show up.

However, there is still a difference whether I am at home or not.

Being at home makes your in-laws feel that you value this marriage.

Ye Zheng is actually very sensible, June's little ceremony is his business, and he can't just leave it to his sister.

And his brother-in-law has already left the house, he doesn't want his sister to work hard alone.

Although Ye Zheng didn't say that.

However, all the female family members in the Rong Mansion could see his busy schedule.

Qu Feng's father is now the Tongzhi of Baoding Prefecture.

The magistrate of Baoding Prefecture is the third rank, and Tongzhi is also the fourth rank.Basically equal to the magistrate of Henan, the enemy's rival.

The Qu family also has a three-entry house in the east city of Kyoto.

On this day, the female relatives of Rongniang's two residences brought their betrothal gifts to Dongcheng.

Ye Yun prepared a set of gold inlaid jade head mask and a set of jade head mask.There are also twelve sets of clothes and 24 bolts of brocade cloth.

There are four boxes of dried fruit and four boxes of candy.

Ye Yun, as Ye Zheng's older sister, put a golden phoenix hairpin bracelet on her brother-in-law.

The woman also has four boxes in return.

The small ceremony went very well.

Then, Mrs. Qu introduced the uncles, aunts and aunts of the Qu family to Shi Mei and her party.

Ye Yun also introduced relatives such as his uncle's family, Rongning Second Mansion, and two aunts, Jia Minyuxiu.

Yuxiu didn't like to attend wedding ceremonies in the past because she was afraid that people would dislike her.

Now, she has grandsons and grandchildren, and her son Bai Jintang is doing well, and now he is also a famous figure in Jinyiwei.

She can also be regarded as the ancestor of three generations.

Nowadays, if someone wants to see her, he has to go to great lengths, so she came out to walk around.

On the tenth day of June, Ye Zheng and Jia Rong returned to Jinling together to take part in this year's martial arts exam.

Ye Zheng came to Rongfu to bid farewell, and Ye Yun and his brother kowtowed to Shi Mei.

Shi Mei then explained to him, "You are just now. You have a great age, and your life has just begun. You have an ancestral title, and you have made great achievements in suppressing bandits. Even if you don't have the fame of being a man, you can enter the officialdom smoothly.

Therefore, during the exam, do what you can, don't force yourself, and take care of your body. "

Ye Zheng complied: "Grandmother's kind words, my grandson will remember them."

Jia Zhang and Qingyu have sent back news that after passing the county and government examinations, they will wait for the court examination in Jinling, and then return to Beijing with Jia Cong.

That's it for the end of the year.

Now only Baoyu Ziyu Jia Yun and Jia Qiang are left in the private school in Rongfu.

Baoyu thirteen, Ziyu eleven.

Jia Yun is fifteen and Jia Qiang is sixteen.

According to the rules of the Rong Mansion, Jia Qiang and Jia Zhang were on the same side, so they should go back to their hometown to take the exam.

However, Jia Qiang's article was hard to read, and she didn't like martial arts.The only advantage is that he is handsome.

The death of Jia Jing also made him think about the imperial examination, and he was going to train him to start a business and become a rich man in the future.

However, the Ning Mansion also needs such a person who is close by blood to take care of the property and shops of the Ning Mansion.

After all, Jia Jing is still a little bit powerless now, and has already started to get Jia Qiang involved.

Emperor Jiahe celebrated this year's Longevity Day with great fanfare.

During the banquet, the fourth prince and the emperor's grandson Shuiyang presided over the feast of longevity.

The fourth prince took Shuiyang with him to represent Emperor Jiahe, accepting the toasts from the clan and servants, and also toasting to the servants and workers on behalf of Emperor Jiahe.

This time, on the Longevity Day, unfortunately, Yanhou was ill, and his wife was at home to take care of her husband.

Only Princess Wujun brought her eldest grandson Shui Che and second grandson Shui Qing to congratulate her.

Shuiyang personally went to the banquet in Rongfu and toasted Jia Lian, the martial arts master.

Shui Ling was completely dumbfounded.

There were tears in her eyes, and she almost didn't cry.

Shi Mei held her hand, sent her spiritual power to clear her mind, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, Lan'er is still young."

Water spirits have roots of wisdom.

She forced back the tears, and the rest was full of joy, she and Jia Lian returned a glass of wine to the emperor and grandson.

On the way back, Shui Ling wanted to go straight to her mother's house to tell the good news.

Jia Lian stopped Shui Ling: "Father-in-law has his own consideration for this matter, and when the time comes, father-in-law will naturally tell."

Shui Ling burst into tears: "No wonder he made a dressing box, I still despise it being too cumbersome, I haven't untied it for three years.

Also, what about my concubine mother, he will cry a lot when he thinks about it now, if it doesn’t work, I will tell her so that the concubine mother will not suffer any more, at worst, be more careful in the future..."

Jia Lian said: "Mother-in-law's temperament is not as strong as grandmother's, so father-in-law chose to hide it.

At this time, if the matter is exposed, the mother-in-law must suffer even more. The hardships in the past will be in vain, and it will harm the whole palace.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Prince Wu's Mansion will not fare well.

The emperor's grandson is really the fourth younger brother, and the Prince of Wu County intends to confuse the blood of the royal family, which is deceiving the emperor.

The emperor's grandson is not the fourth brother, but the direct son of the fourth prince.

It is disrespectful for the prince of Wu County to frame the emperor's grandson and question the authenticity of the emperor's grandson.

How many people in Kyoto are watching, don't be impulsive. "

Shui Ling was happy and sad at the same time, but she didn't dare to visit her mother at her natal home.

Nest in the bedroom and desperately unlock the Luban lock.

Then, in three days and two nights, she was really untied.

Shui Ling saw Shui Yang's congratulations: I wish my sister a happy wedding, and wish my sister a harmonious husband and wife, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.

……

Signature: fourth brother Shui Cheng.

Shui Ling burst into tears, but there was a smile on her face: "Fourth brother didn't hide it from me, I was too stupid to untangle it today."

Shui Ling relaxed and fell into a coma for a day and a night.
