old lady in red

Yingchun's fiancé is Zhao Yun.

The Zhao family's scholarly fragrance has been handed down for hundreds of years.

It is said that a building was built at home to store books.

Mrs. Zhang's requirement is to be of a scholarly family, and the child is intelligent.

Jia Min looked for someone according to her request.

In fact, Mrs. Zhang also wanted to find a scholarly son-in-law for Xichun, but it was a pity that Jia She fell in love with Feng Ziying.

Mrs. Zhang can only be ashamed of Xichun.

However, the dowry that Zhang and Feng's family negotiated was [-] yuan.

That is to say, Xichun will be worth at least 6 taels in the future.

Shi Mei is not worried that Mrs. Zhang will be mean to anyone.

Now Rongfu's land in the south of the Yangtze River is no longer expanding, and it still maintains [-] mu.

The annual income is stable at 4 taels.

The meritorious field in the eastern province, but because of Zhang Jue opened up pastures and medicinal planting.

The annual income has reached 6 taels.

Shi Mei asked him to transport only 4 taels to Beijing every year.

For the remaining 2 taels, buy mountain depressions on the spot, allowing Zhang Jue to expand the scale of the pasture.

In addition, Rong Mansion successively invested [-] silver in rebuilding Tiekan Temple.

Now in recycling mode.

The plum groves, bamboo groves, peach groves, apricot groves, pear orchards, durian orchards, osmanthus gardens, and rose gardens have all become climates.

Thatched huts and bamboo houses were built in the garden, which are very popular among Kyoto scholars.

There are even people who have landed on the ground, renting the mud huts in Rongfu as their residences.

There is no noise, no sensuality, only the blue sky and white clouds, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

It has become a paradise for scholars.

There are a lot of scholars here, and many people will rent the garden of Rongfu to entertain literati and elegant guests.

This has become a business.

Although not profiteering.

However, after the Tiekan Temple became self-sufficient, the 8000-acre garden made an annual profit of [-] taels.

This is only an ornamental garden of [-] acres, and another [-] acres of flower gardens are in the cultivation stage.

Once the flower garden is put on the market, it will be more profitable.

In February, the Empress Dowager ordered a draft within three hundred miles of Kyoto to fill the new emperor's harem.

As soon as Yi's decree came out, the whole capital was as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

Although the prince has been established.

However, the new emperor has only one son, and if there is a prince, the worst is a prince.

But the queen has no children, and the prince is not a direct descendant.

If the concubine gives birth to a son and then adopts it to the queen, she may not be able to be in the East Palace.

Today's emperor is not a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty!

Shi Mei, however, was packing presents, preparing to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother.

As soon as the decree came out, Shimei also asked Wang Shuhua and Tanchun for their opinions: would she like to enter the palace for election, or would she lose the election through her family's trust?

Wang Shuhua hesitated, after all, she was the empress.

Tanchun was very straightforward: "None of the three elder sisters ran for the imperial concubine, and the granddaughter does not have that blessing, nor does she have the thought. I beg my grandmother to make arrangements for my granddaughter."

As for Jia Zheng's intentions, Shi Mei didn't think about it at all.

Jia Zheng was also very sensible: "The matter of visiting the girl is all arranged by the mother."

So, Shi Mei and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the palace with two jars of fine wine and a set of spirit jade wine cups.

This time, people from Yikun Palace directly brought Shi Mei to the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother laughed when she saw Shimei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "I guessed that you would definitely come.

What, this time is still exempt? "

Shi Mei nodded: "Naturally, our old man has a legacy, Rong Mansion only has men who bleed on the battlefield."

The queen mother nodded: "Your family's children must be on the list in the primary election, although your second wife is separated, and Jia Shilang is also a third-rank official, enough to be a concubine.

The re-election is for me and the empress to select together, as long as the empress has no objection, there is no problem for me here.

Convince the queen, your family should be fine, right? "

Shi Mei had already thought of this level.

Shi Mei and Mrs. Zhang stood up and said goodbye: "In this case, I would like to thank you for your care, and my wife will leave."

Shi Mei left Yikun Palace here, and then went to Kunning Palace of Empress Chunzheng.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Wan was conferred the title of empress by the new emperor.

One year after the new emperor ascended the throne, she herself did not have a child, and the Zhang family did not carry out the will of Duke Engong for a long time.

Zhang Wan was actually very uncomfortable.

However, she doesn't mind choosing a concubine.

Today's concubines are all older.

Only she is of childbearing age, and she is under a lot of pressure.

There are too many concubines in the harem, and some people have given birth, or if everyone is barren, it means that there is something wrong with His Majesty's health, no wonder she is the queen.

All she can do now is to take care of the prince with all her heart and treat him as her own son.

Zhang Wan was very happy when Mrs. Zhang visited.

Although it hinders the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, the queen must carry it.

However, the queen's eyes overflowed with joy.

Shi Mei could tell that Zhang Wan was very close to Zhang's aunt.

Shi Mei said: "My wife heard that there are good plum blossoms in Kunning Palace. My wife wants to go and have a look. Please allow me the Queen's permission."

Shi Mei was taken for a walk by the eldest girl from Kunning Palace, Zhang Wan stepped down immediately and sat next to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "My lady, please take a seat."

Zhang Wan leaned her head against Mrs. Zhang: "Auntie, I really miss those days when I was at home, admiring flowers, composing poems, composing poems, whatever my grandparents used to do.

Nowadays, there are rules for walking, sitting and lying down, and you can't talk casually between husband and wife, it's so boring..."

Mrs. Zhang asked her how she got along with the emperor, it was really businesslike.

One said: "Your Majesty, please rest at night."

"Ok!"

Everyone fell asleep dryly.

Mrs. Zhang thought about her relationship with her husband. After decades, men still like women who are coquettish and weak.

How can it be tough?

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help giving a secret secret: "You silly child, of course you have to carry it in front of others, but you and His Majesty are husband and wife in public, why should you carry it?

You are much younger than His Majesty, even if you are a little girlish, you will not be harsher than the Emperor, why do you imprison yourself?

You like poetry and songs, just pick them up in your spare time.

This time is a good opportunity.

You can find His Majesty to study how to select, and develop a relationship with His Majesty by the way.

Then there is an excuse to choose a concubine for His Majesty, and call the beautiful women in the book to compete in poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Once the empress can relax herself.

Secondly, it seems that the Empress is wholeheartedly devoted to His Majesty, isn't she? "

Zhang Wan was very pleasantly surprised: "Can it still be like this?

The empress dowager seldom summons the imperial wife into the palace? "

Mrs. Zhang couldn't say how the Empress Dowager was doing, but said: "The nine sons of the dragon are all different.

When you become a queen, you don't have to be exactly like the queen mother.

Today's Empress Dowager is approaching her sixtieth birthday, and you are only in your prime, so naturally you should be more lively.

You treat the prince like your own, and you should be more considerate to your majesty.

The minister's wife thought, whether it is a civil couple or an emperor or empress, it is always good for a wife to care for her husband. "

The aunt and nephew talked very harmoniously and happily.

After parting, Mrs. Zhang said her purpose, and asked for grace for the fourth girl in the family, hoping to be exempted from the election.

Zhang Wan said: "Why?

When a girl from my aunt's family enters the palace, I will definitely take good care of her.

If she gave birth to a boy and a half girl, would she be able to help her aunt in the future? "

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand: "Our old man has a legacy that the family's Rongfu must rely on men to fight hard, either to fight in the battlefield, or to enter the imperial examination to become an official.

Furthermore, although the fourth girl is recorded under the name of the aunt, she is actually a concubine.

It doesn't matter if you marry an ordinary family, they don't care about it, as long as our Rongfu recognizes it.The palace is unusual. "

If you don't manage to be listed as a crime of deceiving the emperor, you will be unlucky.

Zhang Wan nodded: "That's true, I see that the four girls are quick-witted, and they are actually a concubine."

In fact, Zhang Wan intends to recruit a few confidantes so that he can be a firm favorite.

In fact, she doesn't have much favor.

Your Majesty has worked hard to heal the disease, but has been poisoned, and his body is very weak.

He seems powerless towards a woman, and cannot love her once a month.

These pains are difficult to export.

Zhang Wan promised to let Tanchun lose the election, and then wrote down Tanchun's tuba name: Jia Hu.

At such a time, Shi Mei also returned from wandering, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the palace by car.

Now that there is a draft, the concubines of the Supreme Emperor are all included in the Sixth West Palace headed by the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The concubines of the new emperor live in the East Sixth Palace.

Therefore, Zhen Guifei still lives in Yongshou Palace.

Although Yongshou Palace is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It is said that after the Taishang Emperor had a slight stroke, he basically stopped summoning his concubines to serve him.

Concubine Zhen was unlucky before and lost the right to intervene in the harem.

Now that there is a new queen, she is even more unable to intervene.

Daiyu turned 13 on February [-] this year.

Therefore, there is no Daiyu's name on the side show girl.

Jia Min was going to wait for an appropriate opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to be exempted from the election.

Shi Mei deduced that Daiyu's and Shuiyang's zodiac signs were not suitable.

First of all, a female freshman is not a good match.

Asking for exemption should be able to succeed.

Shi Mei didn't want to imagine how Lin Daiyu, who was as lively as a fairy, would be when she entered the imperial palace.

Shi Mei thinks that it is best for Daiyu to find a husband who is a Jinshi.

Then follow her husband to become an official and travel around the world.

Or simply women can also take the imperial examination.

It is also a wonderful thing for Daiyu to be a Guozijian sacrificial wine.

February 28.

The intellectuals of Biyun Temple sent a post to Shi Mei, but Mrs. Shi Tai failed.

Hope to see Shi Mei for the last time.

Shi Mei went to Biyun Temple.

Xiangyun cried until he was in tears, but only the girl Parrot Pearl from Rongfu was accompanied by four women.

The butler of the historian is only accompanied by Shi Fu.

There was no one from the Bowling House at all.

Seeing Xiangyun crying, Shi Fu cried himself into tears.

When Shi Mei entered the room, there was a bloody smell in the room, which was caused by Mrs. Shi Nai vomiting blood.

Shi Mei quickly used a cleaning talisman.

Mrs. Shi Tai, Mrs. Wu, has no strength to speak.

Shi Mei sent spiritual power to Shi Nai's wife, Wu Shi, to gather physical strength for her.

Mrs. Shi Nai finally had the strength: "My niece...please..."

Shi Mei nodded: "I know what you mean, just say it directly."

Mrs. Shi Nai said: "Yun'er...marriage...husband's family..."

Then, he vomited blood again and gasped for breath.

Shi Mei sent spiritual power to Mrs. Shi Tai again.

She stopped talking this time and waved directly.

The abbot of Biyun Temple held out a letter: "This is the suicide note written by benefactor Wu ten years ago, and it has been kept in the hands of the poor nun.

The benefactor of the Wu family said that there were her last words in it. "

In the letter, Mrs. Wu asked Shi Mei to help Xiangyun look after her family. It doesn't need to be rich or famous, as long as her husband's family is kind and her son-in-law is loyal.

Telling Xiangyun not to worry about her, she said: Death is like a lamp going out, good or bad doesn't matter.

This is so that Shi Mei doesn't have to worry about her funeral, as long as Xiangyun has a good home.

Shi Mei didn't expect Wu's to see clearly than Wang's and Zhen's.

Zhao Da, who sent a report to the historian, reported back: "Mrs. Baolinghou is not at home. She said she was going out for a banquet. Today, I am inviting guests to enjoy the plum blossoms at Duke Shi's house."

Shi Mei said: "It's good that the letter has been delivered."

Shi Mei felt Mrs. Shi Nai's pulse, but she would not leave for a while.

Shimei left two daughters-in-law to help Xiangyun cook, and then told Xiangyun: "I know you are filial, but your mother wants you to live well.

Her disease is contagious, don't get too close, don't let the blood stain the skin.

You have to cherish yourself, live well, and offer incense to your parents in the future.

This is the greatest filial piety to your mother, understand? "

Xiangyun cried and agreed.

Shi Mei is worried about Mrs. Shi Nai's IQ.

At a time like this, it's fine if you don't come here to serve the eldest sister-in-law, after all, it will be contagious.

But, why don't you just stay at home and hide yourself?

Or you stay with Biyun Temple, hide in the meditation room, even if you don’t recite scriptures, eat, drink and have fun, don’t you go to the banquet to show off?

Three or five days later, the eldest sister-in-law died of illness, but you had a banquet and wine the day before she died of illness. Is it true that the censors are all blind?

Shi Mei is benevolent and righteous.

After returning to the city, Shi Mei asked Lai Da to send a letter to the historian again, asking Mrs. Shi Nai to send someone to welcome Mrs. Shi Nai back to Beijing.

Even if you can't enter the Bowling Waiting Mansion, you can take back the Dongyuan that the big house got.

However, Mrs. Shi Nai ignored it.

So far, Shi Mei no longer meddles in her business.

Some people you saved her, but she hates you instead, and she will definitely learn to behave after suffering a big loss.

Shimei would arrange for people to visit Biyun Temple every day, and bring some food to Xiangyun's mother and daughter by the way.

On the second day of March, Mrs. Shi Nai fell into a coma.

Shimei ordered Biyun Temple to deliver a letter to historians.

It was Shi Nai who leased the Buddhist temple of Biyun Temple in the name of Bowlinghou's Mansion.

Now, it's time for the host to come forward and report.

Mrs. Shi Nai, Mrs. Wang finally showed up.

Shi Mei and Xiang Yun sat in the wing room and waited.

At midnight that night, Mrs. Steiner suddenly woke up.

Shi Mei hurriedly took Xiangyun to see him off.

Mrs. Shi Nai didn't have any last words, but she looked at Shi Mei Xiangyun with a smile all over her face: "Yun'er, mother is going back to Jinling..."

After that, Mrs. Shi Nai's throat made a whistling sound, and a look of pain and reluctance appeared on her face.

Shi Mei said, "Xiangyun has me."

Wu Shi is still conscious at this time.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the pain and reluctance on her face disappeared and turned into a smiling face.

It's just that two beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a line of teardrops fell from the corners of his eyes.

The master host personally covered her with yellow paper.

Then he turned to Shi Mei and said, "Benefactor Wu has been promoted to immortality."

Xiangyun burst into tears.

However, people just lose their temper and are not clean.

Shi Mei hugged Xiangyun and went out.

The third day of March.

Shi Nai's wife, Xiangyun's mother, has finished her life.

Mrs. Shi Nai was born in the Wu family, a scholarly family in Jinling.

Her grandfather used to be Tanhualang, and served as a servant of the Ministry of Rites.Climbed a high relative for the granddaughter.

It's a pity that Wu Zhen is an unlucky person. Before she gets married, her capable grandfather will die.

My father was not successful in literature and military, and my brothers did not live up to expectations, so the Wu family bought their ancestral house and went back to their hometown.

Once Mrs. Shi Nai died, Xiangyun really had no one to rely on except Shi Mei.

Shi Mei took Xiangyun back to the Rong Mansion, and was going to wait for the historian to carry the coffin back to Beijing before sending Xiang Yun back to the mansion.

However, Mrs. Shi Nai, Mrs. Wang, did not intend to carry Mrs. Shi Nai's coffin back to the historian's house at all. She planned to stay in the courtyard Shi Nai leased in Biyun Temple for seven days.

Then move the family temple of the spiritual historian.

Hearing this, Shi Mei was already speechless.

Mrs. Shi Nai did not seek Shi Mei's opinion from the beginning to the end, but sent Shi Mei an obituary.

Shi Mei intentionally asked the official family where the eldest lady was going to express her condolences.

The butler had no guilt: "Biyun Temple."

Shi Mei had no choice but to send Xiang Yunzai back to Biyun Temple.

The next day, the fourth day of March.

Mrs. Shi Tai hanged herself.

Jia pardon Jia Jing, Jia Zheng's brother, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Zhang, and Jia Rong.

The female family members of the second government, Shimei, Zhang's, Yang's, Yu's, Shuiling, all went to the temple to mourn.

All the four kings and eight princes only came to the housekeeper.

Except for the Rongning Second Mansion, other families rarely showed up.

Shi Mei met Shi Nai's wife, Wang Shi, and asked the last sentence: "I've really decided, don't listen to my advice, aren't you going to move the spirit back to the residence?"

Wang's face turned black immediately: "I asked the eminent monk to watch and give orders, saying that it is unlucky for people who died outside to return home."

Shi Mei sneered and didn't ask any more questions.

People who die outside refer to violent deaths.

Mrs. Shi Nai died of illness.

How can the two be confused?

The imperial court has its own laws, Mrs. Hou is a first-class, and she has her own funeral etiquette.

The elders of the historian family remained silent.

Shi Mei also didn't want to be annoying.

If Xiangyun is a woman, no one can do anything to her?

Shi Mei feels sorry for the prince.

If Prince Tengruo is in the capital, Shi Nai's wife dare not do this.

Wang Ziteng couldn't get through there.

It's a pity that he was entrusted by the new emperor with the important task of inspecting the border fortresses outside.

However, Shi Mei's heart softened.

Let Jin Da use the pigeon whistle to send letters to Shi Nai and Shi Ding respectively.

As long as Shi Nai and Shi Ding come back in time for the funeral.

There is still room for redress in this matter.

Mrs. Shi Nai stayed in Biyun Temple for seven days, and after the first seven days, she was transferred to the family temple.

Three days later.

On March [-]th, Yushitai participated in Shi Nai:

Bao Linghou bullies widowed sister-in-law and orphans in disregard of etiquette and law.

Shi Nai's wife is Yipin's wife, and the funeral has its own standard etiquette.

Shi Nai's funeral for his eldest sister-in-law was very shabby, but the dignified Mrs. Hou was like a widow and a beggar, and the funeral was rushed.

Shi Nai and his wife apparently forgot that their eldest sister-in-law is the former Mrs. Baoling.

Mrs. Hou has the right to carry out the funeral from the main courtyard of the historian's house.

This incident shocked Kiyoki Honoki in Kyoto.

Especially the Taishanghuang, who was very angry, issued an order to reprimand Shi Nai.

Although Mrs. Shi Nai can't compare with the Supreme Emperor.

But Mrs. Shi Nai's situation is actually similar to that of the emperor and queen mother.

The original Mrs. Bowling died because of her husband's early death.

As a result, not only could she not live in the Hou's mansion during her lifetime, but she was also driven to live in the temple by the marquis' wife, the Marquis.

Now that he's dead, he doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Shi Nai didn't expect that because of his wife's selfish jealousy, he fell into a big somersault.

Shi Nai should have gone to Beijing to attend the funeral after receiving the obituary.

Now he has to resign and go to Beijing to defend himself.

How to defend yourself?

Only admit your mistake.

Fortunately, Shi Nai received a pigeon letter from his aunt on the eighth day of March, and immediately asked for leave for himself and his son.

Get up on the tenth day.

Shengsheng was a few days earlier than the day when Yushi participated in the performance.

The date of his departure proved that although Shi Nai was not strict in running the family, he did not despise the etiquette and bully the widowed wife.

However, a lax family management cannot escape.

Then, the censor began to investigate the whereabouts of Shi Ji and his wife's property.

As a result, property accounts are clear.

The original inheritance, plus the achievements of these years, are all kept for the niece and daughter.

This way, Shi Nai's reputation was finally restored.

When Shi Nai was in office, Mrs. Shi Nai organized the funeral of the former Mrs. Bao Linghou.

Shi Nai barely cleared himself of the crime of bullying his widow and his sister-in-law, and became an unworthy wife.

Most of the blame fell on Bowling Hou's wife Wang.

Then, the queen mother was ordered to issue a decree to deprive Mrs. Baolinghou of her super-grade order.

Mrs. Bowling became white.

Wang was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and she had to go to the temple to keep a filial piety for Mrs. Shi Tai for a hundred days.

Fortunately, the emperor did not order Shi Nai to divorce his wife.

Otherwise, the children of the Marquis Bowling's Mansion are really shameless.

At this moment, Shi Nai was overwhelmed with gratitude to his aunt.

Thanks to my aunt who made a prompt decision.

Otherwise, the face of his eight lifetimes of historians will be completely lost today.

Fortunately, Shi Nai responded in a timely manner and received a pigeon letter from Shi Mei in early March.

The next day, he asked for leave and set off, brought back two sons, daughter-in-law and grandson, and went home to be filial sons for his elder sister-in-law.

Shi Nai's sons, Shi Feng and Shi Zheng, both had a year of filial piety.

This made Yu Shi speechless.

Then, the Wang family, who was deprived of her imperial order, framed Shi Mei, the aunt, in front of Shi Nai.

"Auntie is deliberately embarrassing her family. She can write to you, but can't tell us in person?"

Shi Nai smashed Shi Mei's three letters on Wang's face: "Stupid woman, do you still have face?"

Shi Nai's intestines turned green with regret.

At that time, the eldest son and daughter-in-law should be left in Kyoto to handle the funeral of the elder sister-in-law.

In this way, he can go home to attend the funeral.

Never thought that Mrs. Wang was so stupid and uneducated, which ruined his years of hard work.

Shi Nai was dismissed, but fortunately he did not depose his title.

However, if you want to recover, you can only see chance.

Mrs. Wang did not expect that after Mrs. Wu had been ill all these years, people in the capital would treat her as dead, and no one would mention her.

She can only pretend to be a dead person alive, how could she really die and overthrow her family?

On March [-]th, Shi Ding's wife returned to the capital with her two sons, Shi Zhao and Shi Jun.

Nephews have a one-year filial piety period.

Mrs. Shi Ding also has a five-month filial piety period.

Due to the unpredictable situation in the coastal areas, Shi Ding's request to attend the funeral was rejected by the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

In fact, Shi Mei did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would deprive Wang of his imperial order in a fit of anger. She thought that a reprimand would just be a relegation.

Is it to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys and deter the new emperor and empress?

Shi Mei couldn't help guessing, could Emperor Jiahe be dissatisfied with the new emperor?

Shi Mei asked Jin Da again: "Are there any rumors about the new emperor of the palace?"

Jin Dao: "If the old lady doesn't ask, the slaves will report.

Recently, a lot of Taoist priests came from Kyoto, and they all went to Changchun to visit and place orders.

It is said that he will be summoned by the palace at three or five o'clock.For some reason? "

Shi Mei hurriedly ordered: "Quickly pay respects to the lord!"

Jia Jing quickly passed the house.

Jia Jing now almost just goes to the Ministry of War because he wants to support Jia Rong to enter the Ministry of War.

Most of the time, I spend tea time with my colleagues in the military department to connect with each other.

Never add a single bit of trouble to these colleagues and bosses.

Today, I was discussing accounts with Jia Qiang at home, and I was going to contact the right servant of the Ministry of War.

Can Jia Rong be stuffed into the Ministry of War next year to be a master.

To put it bluntly, Jia Jing didn't want Jia Rong to go to the battlefield.

The two brothers have only one root!
