old lady in red

Shuiyang is 13 years old now, and he is not so attached to the throne.

He even thought, if Emperor Chunzheng gave birth to a son.

He can let Xian leave the court and go back to work as Shui Cheng.

Of course, he never said that to anyone.

The calmness he showed because of this mentality, in the eyes of everyone, is flattering or humiliating.

Even Emperor Chunzheng's die-hard brother, King Xi Jun, felt that Shui ** had the potential to be an emperor.

King Xijun couldn't help feeling pity for Shuiyang, thinking that even if Shuiyang could not sit on the throne in the future, he would fight for an idle king for him, so that he would not end up as a deposed prince.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Beijing Prince's Mansion is holding a funeral, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries from Kyoto came to express their condolences.

There were many happy events in the palace, and three more concubines were pregnant.

The number of concubines who became pregnant reached nine.

The queen realized that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty's body, but she was the one with the problem.

Therefore, the queen paid more and more attention to the prince, and cared for the prince like a real mother.

The emperor was very satisfied and praised the empress and the Zhang family many times.

Emperor Chunzheng was also in a good mood, and transferred the queen's father, Zhang Jin, to be the governor of Shuntian.

He jumped from the fourth rank to the third rank.

Shuntian Fu Yin is in charge of Tianfu Imperial City.

That is to say, the Forbidden City is also under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Fu Yin.

This official sounds powerful and can bluff people,

Actually very angry.

Pull all the yamen in this capital, and catch a lot of second and third grades.

Zheng Sipin is really not big.

However, Shuntian Fu Yin defended the new emperor, and it is still possible to mix sand in Yanhou's defense area.

At least, within the Nine Gates is no longer monolithic.

Furthermore, the prefect of Shuntian is eligible to participate in the court meeting.

Of course, the relationship between the queen and the prince is also very good.

For the queen, it is more beneficial to support the crown prince than any other prince to ascend the throne.

Furthermore, Shuiyang's identity was the concubine's son of Emperor Chunzheng.

There is nothing wrong with supporting the prince.

In this way, it is hard to say how much role the old father-in-law, Emperor Chunzheng, can play.

This transfer did not do any harm to Rongning and Ningfu.

The eighth day of March.

Second Sister You started.

Because the child was too big, Second Sister You herself was rounded all over, and after two days and two nights of mobilization, she just didn't give birth.

The midwife was already pale with fright.

For this midwife, Mrs. Yu did not hire a midwife from the mansion, but the most prestigious midwife in Kyoto.

It is said that several of the emperor's grandchildren were delivered by her.

Yu also invited the doctor from Shun'an Hall to sit in the mansion.

Although Second Sister You is a concubine.

However, she is a concubine of the Ning Mansion.

She couldn't afford to die like this.

Then, she took a chance and wanted to escape, but Yu Shi held her down.

Yang Shi hated Second Sister You, but never thought of asking her to die.

March tenth.

Yang went to the ancestral hall to burn incense.

Then, she sneaked over to the mansion to beg Shi Mei: "Auntie, you have to help your nephew and daughter-in-law, the Ning mansion is bad enough, no one can die anymore.

Although it was Second Sister You who made fun of herself, but the Ning Mansion can't afford to lose anyone, you must have a solution, right? "

Shi Mei looked at Yang crying pitifully, and sighed, "I can't guarantee that either."

Shi Mei, Yang's family and Yu's family entered Second Sister You's delivery room at the same time.

The third sister You, the old lady of You family, guards the second sister You.

Shi Mei said casually: "There should not be too many people in the room."

Yang looked at Jia Rui's daughter-in-law, Youshi: "Brother Rui, daughter-in-law, take your sister and mother out to wait."

Mrs. You had shortcomings in front of Mrs. Yang, so she did not dare to disobey her, so she helped her stepmother.

Third Sister You sneered, "We're going out, you stay? How do you know if you will intentionally kill my Second Sister?"

Hearing this, Shi Mei stepped out of the delivery room: "Let the You family guard."

Yang stopped Shi Mei: "Auntie, at least it's for your nephew's sake."

Then he ordered his mother-in-law: "Why don't you hurry up and throw the You family out?"

The women stepped forward to drive away the three members of You's family, but Youshi covered his face and came out.

Mrs. You was also taken away.

Third Sister You got into a fight with the wives.

Yu stepped forward and slapped Third Sister You: "What kind of place is this?

What are you, dare to act wild here?

Believe it or not, I sent you to Shuntian Mansion, saying that your family broke into the house, prevented the doctor from rescuing the pregnant woman, and intended to kill the heirs of Ning Mansion? "

Yu's martial arts practitioner, slapped him across the face, and the corner of You Sanjie's mouth was broken, and her head was buzzing.

The healthy woman took the opportunity to drag Third Sister You out.

Only then did Shi Mei play a cleaning talisman.

The doctor at Shun'an Hall prescribed birth-promoting medicine and acupuncture points.

Second Sister You bled a lot, but the child could not be born.

Dr. Li has already retreated, and asked the Ning Mansion to invite another Gao Ming.

Shi Mei felt Second Sister You's pulse, the child was already very weak, if it was not born, both adults and children would die.

Shi Mei took the golden scissors prepared by the Ning Mansion, and unceremoniously cut an escape route for the child.

Then squeeze Second Sister You's stomach to help the child to give birth.

In the howling of Second Sister You, the child was born.

Shi Mei then used spiritual energy to protect the purple eggplant-colored child.

While protecting Second Sister You's life, Shi Mei made Second Sister You fall into a coma.

Shi Mei asked Yu Shi: "What are you going to do?"

Yu Shi didn't blush and her heart didn't beat, she went to the back of the delivery room and brought out a swaddling baby.

It was a full-term dead baby.

This baby was obviously a baby drowned by a rich family.

Because, the baby has a bird face and a harelip.The appearance is shocking.

Yang was taken aback and almost vomited.

Shi Mei asked, "Is it safe?"

Yu said: "I gave the midwife 500 taels of silver to buy this dead baby.

Their family has returned to Mobei, my father will watch them, and will never return to Kyoto in this life. "

Shi Mei nodded, and handed the child to Shi Yu.

Mrs. Yu gave the child to her nanny through the back door.

Here, Shi Mei smeared blood on the dead baby's head and mouth, and then ordered to call You's family.

When You Shi entered the door and saw the child's appearance, he almost fainted.

After Mrs. You had seen the child, she took Third Sister You and left.

Third Sister You stretched out her hand to touch the child, but her hand was bloody.

She took care of Mrs. You, broke free from Mrs. You, and asked, "Where's my sister?"

Yu Shi pointed to Second Sister You: "Go and see for yourself."

Then he asked Mrs. You: "You don't want to hug me? If you don't want to hug me, then show it to our master?"

Mrs. You was supported by You Shi and waved her hands: "Take it away, take it away, you are wronged!"

Yang took over the dead baby: "Anyway, come to our Ning Mansion for a while, and I will send you away properly."

Then, Mrs. Yang ordered people to do acupuncture quietly beside the mass grave outside the city, and buried the dead baby in brocade clothes, but instead of setting up a grave, she asked the mother-in-law to transplant two pine trees to accompany the child.

Three days later, the Yu family activated.

On March [-]th, a son was born, named Jia Jian.

Jia Jing and Jia Zhen couldn't even arouse their interest.

Yang then asked his daughter-in-law to name it.

The name was given by Mrs. Yu himself.

Shi Mei sighed when she heard the words, but luckily she didn't name her Jia Xiao.

Yu Shi really hated Jia Zhen.

At the end of March, Jia Rong's daughter-in-law, Xu Shi, suddenly bleeds.

Jia Rong invited the imperial physician, but it turned out that it was not a disease, and Xu was two months pregnant.

Yang cried when she heard the news, and was busy worshiping her ancestors and Bodhisattvas.

Go to the gate of the city to give porridge and medicine.

The previous gloom in the Ning Mansion was swept away.

Jia Jing Yang went to the ancestors of the ancestral hall together, burned high incense, and prayed to the ancestors to bless Brother Rong's daughter-in-law and find a man.

On April [-]th, King Jing of Beijing went to the funeral, and both Rongning and Ningfu prefectures set up road sacrifices.

April twenty.

Mrs. Shimei and Mrs. Zhang took the female relatives in the mansion to Biyun Temple to eat vegetarian food to get rid of bad luck.

April 28.

Shui Ling's mother, Mrs. Yan Hou, passed the message on behalf of her younger brother and daughter-in-law, asking Jia Zhang and Mei Xiner about their marriage.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang still felt that it would be better for Jia Zhang's marriage to be held after the palace examination next year.

This year, Jia Zhang is going back to his hometown, Qiu Wei, and getting married at this time, delays time and distracts.

However, since the Mei family asked, Zhang felt that she should speak clearly.

Therefore, he went to Mei's house with Shui Ling to discuss Jia Zhang's marriage.

Mrs. Zhang expressed her thoughts and put the wedding date next year.

This matter is special, I hope the Mei family understands.

Furthermore, the two daughters of the Rong Mansion were too late to get married.

Mrs. Zhang also drew Lin Qingyu to make an analogy: "We Zhang'er goes to the Imperial College during the day and studies with Uncle Lin at night. The Qingyu of Uncle Lin's family is also in the autumn of this year, and in the spring of next year. Qingyu and Miss Jinming will be settled in May.

Miss Jin is here too, and Jin Jijiu is also very supportive of her son-in-law.

The wedding date of the two is set to be next year, and the specific date will be set in March. Think about it, what a wonderful thing it is to be admitted after the big entrance examination? "

Mrs. Mei was actually very unconvinced in her heart, and Mrs. Zhang suppressed her with gold sacrificial wine.

Yingchun's husband-in-law is also taking the imperial examination next year, why don't you see him postponing the wedding?

Of course, the Rong Mansion didn't regret the marriage, it just postponed the wedding date.

The wedding date is the end of March at the latest.

It's exactly: when the gold list is named, the wedding night in the bridal chamber is also a good talk.

Mrs May finally agreed.

After Jia Zhang won the election in August, the two families discussed the date of marriage.

However, Mrs. Mei also murmured in her heart, wait for the Lin family to decide. If the Lin family gets married at the end of this year, don't blame her for being picky.

Lin Qingyu's appointment in May.

Shimei, Zhang's and Yang's all went to help.

On the right day, almost all Rongning and Ning's houses went to Lin's house for a drink, except Jia Zhen, a prodigal bastard.

After a busy day, I returned home.

On the Longevity Day in June, after the female family members of Rongfu and Hefu entered the palace to worship their birthdays, they devoted themselves to the preparations for the marriage.

Jia Zhang Qingyu returned to his hometown with his guards to participate in Qiu Wei.

After seeing off her son, Mrs. Zhang took the lead in preparing the dowry.

Shui Ling Ye Yun assisted, and Tan Chun Dai Yu Zhizhi came to help.

Tanchun Daiyuzhizhi's handwriting is good, and the three talented women set up a small accounting office dedicated to preparing for the spring wedding.

That is to say, as long as the dowry is prepared for Yingchun, the three of them are responsible for managing, registering, and transcribing it.

Tanchun is responsible for dealing with the daughters-in-law in charge of the family, and she is responsible for handing over and counting.

Yingchun's girl embroiders orange Siqi, Tanchun's girl serves books, emerald ink and emerald wisps, Xichun wants to embroider dowry herself, but sends her to help with painting, calligraphy and painting, and color screen.

Tanchun took this group of ingenious girls to count the dowry.

Daiyu and Zhizhi are only responsible for registration.

This job is tedious.

Mrs. Zhang remembered that she needed to add something again, and the account book had to be revised again.

Then, when I met my close relatives to add make-up to Yingchun, Jinling people came to give make-up.

They have to transcribe again.

Anyway, rambling.

I have been so busy until the Double Ninth Festival in September, and finally I am done.

Then, starting from September, the palace began to spread news frequently, until the end of September, three princesses and two princes were born in one breath.

But, unfortunately, two of the princesses, one prince, were very weak when they landed.

They all died three days later.

The new emperor was furious, and in a fit of anger, sent the three related imperial physicians to prison.

The queen has it too.

Being reprimanded for being incompetent, let her have no virtue and talent, it is better to let her be virtuous.

The queen didn't dare to plead, so she had to take off her hairpin and wait for the crime.

This time, Shuiyang did not intercede with the new emperor, but went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor interfered with the new emperor's handling of the imperial physician, but asked Dai Quan to ask the new emperor: "You gave birth to five sons in Qiandi, where is my grandson?"

The new emperor was very aggrieved, but he gave the queen ten thousand gold, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a dendrobium of pearls.

The queen was safe and sound.

At the end of September, Zhang Jue suddenly came to Beijing ahead of schedule.

He specially sent a carload of furs.

Silver fox fur, fire fox fur, black fox fur, and sable are all high-quality goods.

Zhang Jue didn't say that it was to add makeup to Yingchun Xichun, but only said that he had just hunted it in August, and he thought it might be used by the mansion, so he sent it.

Shi Mei felt close to Zhang Jue in her heart.

Shi Mei guessed whether Zhang Jue had guessed about her identity.

Shi Mei treated Zhang Jue to a meal.

Before leaving, Shi Mei knew that he had a son and a daughter, so she gave Zhang Jue a pair of spiritual jade pendants and two pairs of jade bracelets: "The jade pendants are for you, boy, a pair of jade bracelets for the girl, and a pair for your wife.

I didn't catch up with you when you got married, so it was a gift for her. "

After Zhang Jue kowtowed to Shi Mei, he went to visit his adoptive parents.

Three days later, I went to the mansion to say goodbye and left for Beijing.

Shi Mei asked him if he wanted to attend the wedding, but he refused.

Shi Mei didn't keep her either.

After all, his status is embarrassing.

September eighteenth.

Jia Cong and Lin Qingyu returned to Beijing, and both of them achieved fame.

Lin Fu and Rong Fu together had a meal of wine and that's all.

Too busy.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of October, the day of welcoming the spring dowry.

Zhang Wan's dowry was 120 eight lifts.

However, Yingchun's dowry was packed up to 130 six lifts.

It certainly won't work.

However, Mrs. Zhang felt that it would be impossible to reduce any one of them. These were all necessary things.

Seeing her wandering around in a hurry, Shi Mei came forward to help her, and used the six-inch-high lids of the 36 brass lock-back boxes.

There is no drawing in this era, so the tape is tightly sewn on, filled with silk, and tied tightly.

This frees up twelve boxes.

There was nothing to do with the remaining two boxes, so I had to leave them in Yingchun's boudoir, and bring them along with the old things I was used to when I returned home.

Then, Shi Mei's last resort plan, after the Zhao family showed up, many people began to follow suit.

This is something Shi Mei did not expect.

Then, Jialian Shuiling and his wife added makeup to Yingchun, which exceeded Shimei's expectations.

They gave 1 taels.

Jia Amnesty was embarrassed and gave 1 taels.

Jia Cong gave 2000 taels.

Jia Zhang gave 1000 taels.

In addition to needlework, Tanchun also gave 500 taels.

Zhizhi also did needlework and added 500 taels.

Jia Jing gave 1000 taels.

Yu's 1000 taels.

Jia Rong 1000 taels.

Jia Zhu gave 1000 taels.

Jia Zheng gave 2000 taels.

Jia Min gave a pair of two-foot-tall coral trees that were bright red like pomegranates.

In addition, there are 2000 taels of silver in the press box.

Empress Zhang Wan sent out two boxes on the day of giving makeup in the Spring Festival.

In a box are a pair of jade ruyis.

A pair of eucalyptus trees were contained in a box: one was a bamboo knot, implying heights.

Red pomegranates hang from a eucalyptus tree.

The implication is self-evident.

There are already 12 silver on Yingchun's dowry list.

Shi Mei put the money away and put it in a red sandalwood Luban lock dressing box: "This is the wish of your loved ones. If you keep it in your heart, it will not be included in the dowry. When you return home in three days, take it back as jewelry." .

Do not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. I hope you will never use it in your life. "

Yingchun agreed with tears in her eyes.

Shi Mei sighed inwardly.

This person crawled out of different people's stomachs, and the situation is really different.

Jia Xun Jia Xun led the wedding ceremony in Rongfu.

It was Jia Rong's colleagues in Jinyiwei who carried the dowry, and there were also Jia's descendants from the back street.

All the handsome young men, not to mention the shock of the dowry, just these handsome young men will make the big girls and the young wives chase after them.

When the auspicious time is auspicious, send the dowry.

Madam Yan Hou and Jia Min said a series of festive words.

Everyone is smiling.

From the moment Mrs. Zhang lifted the first Dowry Jade Ruyi out of Cuiweixuan, her eye circles became red.

While talking to relatives and friends, Shi Mei quietly reminded Mrs. Zhang: "Don't cry, let Yingchu see you, you must cry..."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it.

Shi Mei had no choice but to play a cover and let Mrs. Zhang go back to freshen up.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang must have been crying a lot. She couldn't see anyone with her eyes, so someone sent a message to Shi Mei, saying that she had a headache and would not come.

Shi Mei had no choice but to ask the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yang family and Yu family to help accompany the guests.

Mrs. Zhang didn't eat anything that night.

Yingchun went in and out and didn't see her mother, so she couldn't help being puzzled.

There is Xichun and Daiyu Tanchunzhizhi, who are embarrassed to leave, so they ask Shimei quietly.

Shi Mei said: "Your mother is reluctant, she cried a lot, her eyes were red and she was embarrassed to come out."

Yingchun's mouth is flat and she wants to cry.

Shi Mei was busy comforting her: "It's not that far away, Hubu Street is only three blocks away from us, I miss my mother, so I came here as soon as I lifted my feet.

Don't cry, just talk with the sisters, I don't know when I will be able to speak so rashly in the future. "

After saying this, Yingchun leaned on Shimei's arm and cried, pouted: "Grandma, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to leave home, I don't want to get married."

The trouble made Shi Mei want to cry: "You silly boy, what silly things are you talking about.

Your aunt didn't want to get married back then, but now that she has sons and daughters, she doesn't want to go home.If you want to see her, you have to send someone to invite her. "

When Yingchun heard this, she shyly twitched: "Grandmother, what are you talking about, I don't agree..."

Shi Mei nodded: "Okay, okay, we greet the girl with a more conscience than my aunt, so it's definitely not like this."

At this time, Xichun Daiyu Tanchun Zhizhi came.

Shi Mei winked at Zhizhi.

Zhizhi tilted her head to look at Yingchun, and then she was taken aback: "Oh, Second Aunt, why are you crying? Do you want to eat candy and your ancestor won't give it to you?"

Then, Zhizhi took out taffy from her purse: "Tell me, do I have it?"

Yingchun was amused and laughed.

Daiyu Tanchun rushed forward and dragged Yingchun away: "Let's go, let's eat candy, there are some good ones in it."

Shi Mei gave Zhizhi a thumbs up.

Zhizhi ran away after making a face.

The next day.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of traffic on Rongning Street.

All relatives and friends are welcome to sit down.

after lunch.

The Zhao family's welcoming team has arrived.

Zhao Yun is a Juren.

Rongfu set up three checkpoints.

Jia Rong and Bai Jintang guard the first gate.

Zhao Yun brought a group of Guozijian classmates, and the three make-up poems really couldn't help them.

It's just that Bai Jintang wanted to cheat and asked for a red envelope, and wouldn't open the door if he didn't give the red envelope.

However, Jia Lian has regulations on the blocking time.

When the time came, Jia Rong hurriedly opened the door.

The second gate is Jia Cong and Lin Qingyu.

Another three reminder poems.

Then, give red envelopes again.

The last gate is guarded by Jia Zhang with Baoyu.

Baoyu really dislikes someone marrying her sister away.

Zhao Yun wrote five or six poems, but he said that he was not sincere enough, his feelings were not true, and his intentions were not clear.

It is not flexible to give a large red envelope.

Then, when the Shen Shi was about to come, Jia Zhang gave Zhao Yun a wink.

Zhao Yun and the others rushed forward.

Jia Zhang pretended to be invincible, and the young man who was welcoming his relatives rushed open the door of ceremony in front of Rongxi Hall.

Baoyu blamed Jia Zhang: "Are you doing it on purpose?"

Jia Zhang made a bow: "My good brother, you know, my martial arts are poor, I have already said that it depends on you."

Baoyu pouted: "Who knows, they are literati and still lie?"

Angrily, he chased him to Rongxi Hall.

Seeing that Baoyu was angry, Shimei hurriedly asked what happened.

Jia Zhang said.

Shimei patted Baoyu: "I know that Baoyu is a good boy, wait a minute, you follow to see off relatives, who doesn't follow the rules, let your cousin of the Bai family drink him later."

Among all the brothers, Bai Jintang has the best drinking capacity.

Baoyu was immediately happy, and ran away: "I will discuss it with my cousin."

Jia Zhang laughed at Baoyu with a fan: "You silly boy!"

Zhang stared at him: "I think Baoyu is much stronger than you!"

For a while, Yingchun was carried to Rongxi hall by Jia Lian.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and bowed to Jia Lian: "Thank you, uncle!"

Jia Lian reached out to grab Zhao Yun's fist and squeezed it hard.Zhao Yun felt that his wrist was about to break.

Only then did Jia Lian let go of his hand: "Live a good life!"

Zhao Yun was afraid that Jia Lian would pinch him again, so he hurriedly bowed: "I must, and I will follow my brother's instruction!"

Zhao Yun is a bit sour, but he is so obedient today?

Jia Amnesty was puzzled.

Seeing Zhao Yun's aggrieved handsome face, Shi Mei was secretly happy.

Jia Amnesty asked first.

Mrs. Zhang again asked: be filial to Wenggu, respect husband and son-in-law, be harmonious with sisters-in-law, spread branches and leaves...

Then, Zhao Yun wanted to hug the bride, but his brother-in-law Jia Lian picked up his sister and sent her to the sedan chair.

Jia Lian Shui Ling and Jia Cong Ye Yun were sending off their relatives this day.

Jia Zhang, Jia Rong, Baoyu, Lin Qingyu, Ziyu, Bai Jintang, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun.

Jia Rui, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Jun, and Jia Ling from the back street all rode on horses and followed the procession to Zhao's house for a drink.

Three days later, Yingchun returned home with a shy face.

Mrs. Zhang carefully asked her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law about her attitude, and Yingchun agreed.

Mrs. Zhang finally felt relieved.

Then, they began to prepare Xichun's dowry.

Most of them are ready, just add as needed.

With the experience of preparing for Yingchun's marriage, Daiyu Tanchun and Zhizhi became more handy.

Dongyue and Xichun also got married at 120 with a six-carry dowry.

Jia Rong's daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy.

Jia Jing made a big feast.

Shi Mei goes to the mansion to drink, and finds that the luck of Ning Mansion has changed.

From that smoky color to clear gray.

Shi Mei thought, could this child change the fate of the Ning Mansion?

In a blink of an eye, it is Laba.

This year, Mrs. Zhang couldn't get up and said that she was busy with her two daughters-in-law.

The palace has added three new babies.

Then, the two princes died on the ground.

Fall down a princess.

This time, the new emperor did not have a queen.

He sat in the town himself, but still failed to keep the prince.
