old lady in red

On New Year's Eve of this year, almost all the female family members of the Rong Mansion went to the palace to congratulate them.

Once upon a time there was only one empress dowager.

Now that there is one more queen, there is some trouble.

The order of congratulations is particular.

In the middle is His Majesty's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Dowager.

Shi Mei told Zhang Shi: "We will see the situation after entering the palace. It is natural for everyone to go to Yikun Palace.

If they all go to Kunning Palace first, there is no other way. "

Mrs. Zhang said: "According to the rules of etiquette, naturally go to Yikun Palace first, Zhang Wan doesn't have to be so confused."

Zhang Wan is really smart.

She went to Yikun Palace ahead of time, and the female relatives who gave food also held a banquet in Yikun Palace.

Shi Mei's understanding of Zhang Wan has reached a new level.

If she is like this, she can alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Supreme Emperor.

Second, you can also find help for yourself.

The queen mother has no ties now.

Her nice words might not work.

However, whoever she spoke ill of, the Emperor is afraid that he will pay attention.

Shi Mei gave a thumbs up: "The Zhang family's tutor is very good."

Zhang Wan endured the anger for a while, but managed to win a hundred years of prosperity for herself.

She respects the empress dowager so much, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, wouldn't the emperor and empress respect her so much?

The queen mother is in her sixties.

But she is only 13 years older than Shuiyang, and she can basically advance and retreat with the future queen for a lifetime.

If Shuiyang is jointly protected by the Empress Dowager,

A woman in the harem wants to harm Shuiyang, just like a tiger eating a stone roller.

The female family members of the Rong Mansion received preferential treatment in the Yikun Palace, and the seats were arranged in the Duke's Mansion.

Halfway through the banquet in Yikun Palace, the prince came.

The prince did not toast alone.

He respected the queen mother, respected the queen.

Then he toasted all the wives with a glass of wine.

On this day, Yan Hou's wife also came.

The reason why he came is because the prince is in the period of changing his voice, he has a drake voice.

At the same time, the prince practiced martial arts, with a strong and slender figure, and he was no longer the immature and pink young son in her memory.

Madam Yanhou looked at the prince from afar, feeling in her heart that her youngest son should be this old when he was alive.

Then, she also sighed, but her husband's is His Majesty's own son.

Look at the crown prince, his facial features are somewhat similar to those of his own husband.

Madam Yanhou was a little sad, but she didn't think much about it.

Then Shui Ling and Shui Che's daughters-in-law interrupted the toast, and the prince quickly left.

He will accompany the Taishanghuang and his father to worship the ancestors for a while.

On this day, Shi Mei also saw Yuan Chun's sister-in-law Du Zhen, the second-rank empress Xiuyuan.

She followed the queen Zhang Wan almost at the same pace, respecting the queen everywhere.

During the dinner, although she spent most of her time looking at the female family members of the Du family, she took the time to smile at the table in the Rong Mansion.

She is a pretty girl.

The rest of the empresses who followed were not as quiet as Du Zhen, and their eyes were full of boredom.

There is a reason for this.

Most of the nine concubines conferred by the new emperor are local governors.

Most of these governors' families are not in Kyoto.

The female relatives of the third-rank concubine's family are not on the list of the queen mother.

They are loved by thousands at home.

As soon as I fly to the branch, I have great ambitions in my heart.

Four people came today, and three of them were not pregnant.

One was the first to miscarry.

In the twelfth lunar month, the two concubines who had lost their children in September were pregnant again.

Really hard enough.

For the two pregnant concubines, the queen learned a lesson, and Xia Yi ordered them not to go to Kunning Palace or Yikun Palace to pay their respects.

In case they have a problem, the new emperor will be angry.

After copying the scriptures for three days, the queen was terrified.

She no longer touches the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these concubines, and only asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs to follow the rules.

The queen did not summon the two concubines either.

Even if he expressed his concern and wanted to reward him, he would go directly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

She only moved her lips to give orders, and never let anyone in Kunning Palace touch her hands.

After entering the palace this time, Mrs. Zhang felt relieved.

The mother-in-law is right, the niece is not a child.

She has grown rapidly and is able to gain a foothold in the palace.

In a blink of an eye, it is the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Rongning Second Mansion began to entertain guests.

The atmosphere in the palace this year is oppressive, and the people dare not celebrate wildly.

The Rongning Second Mansion just entertained the in-laws.

The movement among colleagues has written letters to decline.

Of course, this is just a superficial coping, and we must not stop communicating in private.

□□Yan Hou and Jia She are related by marriage, so it is impossible to sever contact.

With these two long swords sticking out, I feel very at ease.

In fact, most of the □□ overlapped with the previous Taihuang Party, and only a few were dragged away by the new emperor.

Of course, everyone is working hard to do things, but it makes a difference who orders, which one to do first, and who to send to do it.

Then, this year's chief examiner, the emperor and the present had a disagreement.

Your Majesty wants to use Fu University as the main examiner.

He is the uncle of the Fifth Prince.

Because Concubine Fu Gui's mother and son joined the new emperor.

The fifth prince has a son, a very healthy son.

When the fifth prince was imprisoned, the prince on his body was dismissed.

She wanted to get it back from the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince himself also had this intention.

Kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to meet the new emperor outside the clan mansion is called piety.

The new emperor looked at his brothers who used to go hand in hand crawling under his feet, feeling very relieved.

The eldest prince is an elder brother, and he has the grace of being courteous.

The new emperor gave the king the right to avoid kneeling.

The thirteenth prince is his own younger brother, and there is no sense of accomplishment in kneeling down to him.

The rest of the brothers were all crippled by King Zhongshun, and they couldn't easily come before the king.

The sincerity of the fifth prince allowed the new emperor to find a sense of superiority under the suppression of the Supreme Emperor.

Since New Year's Eve, Concubine Fu Gui has been going to the new emperor's birth mother, Dowager Concubine Huanggui, to serve and please her almost every day.

The banquet at the Queen's side of the Yikun Palace was over, and she went to pay New Year's greetings to her biological mother-in-law, the Royal Concubine, and perform the junior ceremony.

Concubine Fu Gui hinted that the queen would pay respects to the state and pay homage.

The empress does not despise the emperor's concubines.

However, their provocation will not be tolerated.

The queen asked with a smile, "Is this the concubine Fu Gui implying that she will pay you three obeisances and nine kowtows?"

The imperial concubine did not expect the empress to be so rigid, and she doesn't even know how to socialize smoothly?

The noble concubine has forgotten that the empress is the master of the harem.

The noble concubine was frightened, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to the queen.

The queen asked her to squat for a while before calling out.

The queen said goodbye immediately: "On Zhengdan day, we will worship the Fengxian Temple, and my daughter-in-law is leaving."

The emperor's noble concubine did not become the queen mother, it was the emperor's intention, and it was intended to contain it.

After concubine de concubine was conferred, didn't she join forces to suppress the prince?

The emperor can canonize the queen mother.

However, the Supreme Emperor can refuse to have two queens.

The queen mother sneered and said that there are many ugly people in the noble concubine.

Zhang Wan is a cautious person.

In order to prevent the imperial concubine or the noble concubine from going to His Majesty to instigate.

The queen reported the concubine's remarks to the new emperor in advance.

The new emperor was upset at this time, hearing that his biological mother did not stop the imperial concubine, he felt very angry.

At this time, he was troubled internally and externally, and his biological mother could not help at all, but wanted to provoke the emperor.

Emperor Jinzheng couldn't anger his biological mother, but turned his anger on the fifth prince.

The fifth prince's name was crossed out at various banquets on Zhengdan Day.

The reason is also very high-sounding, the fifth prince has been imprisoned for ten years, and he is not feeling well, so he should rest more.

Then, the new emperor tested Lin Ruhai to see if he was willing to take the exam.

How could Lin Ruhai be fooled by him, and immediately declined: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, but I have little talent and learning, and my dog ​​Qingyu will take part in the examination this year, so I should avoid it."

In the end, the examiner decided on Mr. Du Ge.

The new emperor appointed Jin Xing as the deputy examiner.

Jin Xing declined again.

Lin Qingyu is his prospective son-in-law, and when Lin Qingyu wins, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the students.

In the end, the deputy chief examiner selected Gu Xie, Minister of Rites.

Gu Xie is from the south of the Yangtze River, so there is no faction at present.If you want to talk about factions, he is an old man of the emperor.

The chief examiner and the deputy examiners are all the emperor's people, and the new emperor added a deputy chief examiner, King Xijun.

The emperor also added a deputy examiner, Yanhou.

Marquis Yan does not participate in marking the papers, nor does she participate in the imperial ranking.

He is only responsible for monitoring the examination room and monitoring whether the students are cheating.

Of course, it also supervises the invigilator and whether the marking officer is fair.

In fact, according to Shi Mei's thinking, Jia Lian's invigilator is the most suitable for this examination room.

Among the three hundred candidates, anyone who tried to cheat could not escape Jia Lian's eyes.

The same is true for marking papers.

It's a pity that Jia Lian has the qualifications.

However, when he met Jia Zhang for the exam, he also avoided it.

Zhang's side is preparing for Jia Zhang's wedding, so the furniture is all ready-made.

When Shui Ling first started, a set of mahogany furniture that he didn't like was locked in the warehouse.

Now it is moved out and placed in the guest room and study.

The furniture in the bedroom is prepared by the wife.

Of course, if the Mei family asked to display their dowry, the Zhang family would not object.

This furniture will be the same for Baoyu to marry in the future.

On the ninth day of February, Jia Zhang entered the arena.

The Mei family couple came to Rong Mansion to inspect the new house in person.

Jia Lian occupied Weirui Pavilion on the central axis.

Jia Cong occupied the East Courtyard and the Small East Courtyard.

Jia Zhang's new house is placed in the garden to the west.

The lotus garden and the durian garden belong to the cross courtyard of Rongxi Hall.

The durian garden has been given to Jalan.

The lotus garden will definitely be given to Jia Lian's daughter in the future.

Therefore, Jia Zhang went to Xiyuan.

Xiyuan is a good place.

Although the courtyard is similar to Jia Cong's East Courtyard.

However, it is a garden when it goes out, and it is a lotus lake when it turns.

The water of Lotus Lake comes from Cuiwei Mountain.

Shi Mei liked this place very much.

However, Rongqing Hall is the main building, so it doesn't matter if Shimei lives there, it's time for the censor to participate in the performance and Jia She is disrespectful.

It's not good for Shi Mei to occupy two houses by herself.

After all, there are many children in the family.

The Mei family is a noble family, looking at this house.

Mei Hanlin and his wife laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

The air here is fresh and the flowers bloom all year round. It is simply a fairyland on earth.

The Mei family does not have the strength of Yanhou's Mansion, and does not dislike the wood of the guest room and study, which is just red rosewood.

Mrs. Mei held Mrs. Zhang's arm and made out affectionately: "Our eldest aunt talks about how good the two generations of mother-in-laws in the Rong Mansion are, treating daughters-in-law like daughters-in-law. Today I have seen it."

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about postponing the wedding.

After all, Lin Qingyu decided to get married on March [-]th.

Jia Zhang's wedding date on March 28 is not too late.

When Mrs. Mei returned home, she told Mei Xin'er: "Your mother-in-law loves your youngest son so much, and gave the garden to you young couple. You should be filial to your parents-in-law and respect your two sister-in-laws.

Especially your second sister-in-law, I can see what that means. Your mother-in-law takes her with you in everything. After all, your cousin will have her own Marquis Mansion in the future. It is estimated that your second sister-in-law will be the head of the Rong Mansion in the future.

Don't argue, it will be convenient for you to go out to be an official with my uncle in the future. "

Mei Xiner's mouth was pouted: "Who wants to be a housekeeper? The petty profit of three melons and two dates is exhausting."

Although Mei Hanlin said that there is only [-] dowry.

However, the Rong Mansion still had a dowry gift of [-] yuan.

At that time, the Mei family will bring back a dowry of more than [-] yuan.

Mrs. Mei went back and thought about it, and added a [-]-acre farm to Mei Xiner's dowry list.

The mother-in-law loves her son so much, don't they love the girl?

Mei Xiner's dowry increased from 120 liters to [-] [-] liters, the same as Xichun's dowry.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang became more and more busy, and the rules for marrying a daughter and marrying a wife were different.

More than two months is very urgent.

This time, not only Mrs. Yang came over to help, but even Mrs. Yu took the initiative to come over to help.

Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Xu, and Ye Zheng's daughter-in-law Qu Feng both came to help.

February nineteenth.

Lin Qingyu and Jia Zhang appeared.

Qingyu silently wrote poems and policy theories.

Lin Ruhai put away the article by himself, and told Lin Qingyu to rest and move freely.

Lin Qingyu went outing with friends on horseback, reciting poems and collaborating, having a great time.

Three days later, she was caught by her mother, Jia Min, trying on new clothes and rehearsing the wedding.

Lin Qingyu didn't have a room, so she had to hire someone to teach her personnel.

The Lin family members withered, and no one taught them about it.

Jia Min is not good at teaching himself.

Give Lin Qingyu to Jia Lian and Jia Cong.

One requirement, not to make a fool of yourself on the wedding night.

How can Jia Lian make such a fuss with a child? Give Lin Qingyu a doll made by the emperor.

Then hand over Lin Qingyu to Bai Jintang and Jia Rong.

The two of them are in Jinyiwei, and they don't care about meat or vegetables.

Bai Jintang's method was simple and rude. He and Jia Rong pretended to go to Huazhi Lane for business to track down the fugitive, and took Lin Qingyu to Huazhi Lane to watch.

Lin Qingyu watched halfway, blushed and ran away.

Jia Zhang slept here for two days and one night.

Then he got up and wrote the test paper silently, and gave it to Lin Ruhai and Jia Jingzhang, Mr. Shan Ziye, to watch.

This time, the four Confucian scholars all nodded: "Three tripod armor can't think about it, but the top ten can't escape."

Then, Jia Zhang was also taught by Bai Jintang and Jia Rong, and was thrown to Huazhi Lane.

Jia Zhang had no kung fu, so Bai Jintang ordered acupuncture points, so he couldn't move, so he hid in the dark room and watched the whole scene of the spring drama.

Jia Zhang was so ashamed that his pants were wet.

He couldn't beat Bai Jintang, so he went back and chased Jia Rong for three blocks.

In the end, it was Jia Rong who bowed and bowed, put wine and admitted his mistake, and it was over.

On February 21, the Gongyuan released the apricot list.

Lin Qingyu became the leader of the meeting.

Jia Zhang No.9 Gongsheng.

Jia Amnesty first went to Lin's house to congratulate her and set off a carload of firecrackers.

Lin Ruhai came to Rong Mansion to congratulate her again, and also set off a carload of firecrackers.

Jia's in-laws and family members ran to congratulate him.

Bai Jintang and Jia Rong led people to maintain order, so as to avoid natural disasters.

On the first day of March, the imperial examination began.

Relatives and friends all speculated that Lin Qingyu was afraid to become the number one scholar.

Anyway, Jia Zhang is in the top ten, and he is safe and sound.

The fifth day of March.

His Majesty distributes the royal list.

Lin Qingyu is Tanhua Lang.

The champion is a 37-year-old northern candidate.

Zhao Yun is fourteenth.

Jia Zhang's biography.

Jia Amnesty succeeded as a mouse again this time.

The old Bagong's mansion turned into lemons again, and he happily came to congratulate him.

Lin Qingyu paraded through the street on horseback, and the big girls who followed her along the way cried, such a handsome Tanhualang!

Ladies are sour: Tan Hua Lang was robbed by Jia Min 24 years ago.

Otherwise, this beautiful Tanhualang might be his own son.

Then after inquiring, Tanhualang said that he was kissed again, and that he would be admitted to the imperial examination soon.

Everyone quickly inquired about the second son of the uncle's mansion.

It's a pity that Lin Ziyu is handsome and handsome, but she doesn't like reading.

This is really sad news.

The eldest son can win the title, it doesn't matter if he can't read.

The second son doesn't have a title, and he doesn't know how to read...

However, there are still many quick-witted people who think that the Lin family is as rich as an enemy.

Are the descendants of the Hou family afraid of not having official positions?

Inquire about this and want to marry the Lin family.

However, Ziyu is only 15 years old, and Jia Min has no plans to propose marriage to him for the time being.

Furthermore, Ziyu just likes to wield swords and guns.

However, it does not prevent him from studying for the imperial examination.

He is not stupid, but he is not as self-disciplined as Qingyu.

Tanhualang probably won't succeed, but it's still possible to learn from Jia Cong.

All Shinke Scholars have a one-month holiday.

After Lin Qingyu's major admission, on the [-]th she made another minor admission.

this day.

Both Rongning and Ningfu went to Kam Tin Bo's to have a drink.

Jia Zhu went back to Beijing on business, and Hu Yanran also came back to visit her relatives.

Just in time for Lin Qingyu's marriage.

Jia Xuan and Jia Lan became Lin Qingyu's bed-press boys.

Jia Min has also become a mother-in-law, and she is happy all day long, smiling from ear to ear.

Jin Ming is the eldest daughter at home, and it is said that she is in charge of the kitchen and the hall, and is proficient in everything.

Jia Min is going to learn from her mother Shi Mei.

Three days later, when the daughter-in-law returns home, the gift will be handed over to the daughter-in-law, and she will go back to her natal home to visit relatives for a month.

First of all, I help my nephew get married.

Then, accompany my mother on an outing to view the mountain scenery.

Three days later, Jia Min really gave the gift to his daughter-in-law Jin Ming, and then returned to Ning to help his sister-in-law with the wedding.

March 28.

Rongning Street is full of guests and guests.

Jia Zhang marries Mei Xiner.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't rest.

Jia Cong dismissed the hall and released the seventh-rank magistrate of Changning County.

Which province is Changning County in?

Shi Mei had never heard of it.

Jia Cong spread out the territory of the Great Moon Dynasty and pointed it out to his grandmother: it was called Guizhou in the past, and Changning County was under Jingzhou Prefecture.

Shi Mei knew this time: "Huguang Province?"

Jia Cong stretched out his thumb: "Not bad!"

Generally speaking, Mrs. Nei Zhai can't figure out what province or prefecture or county is, unless there are family members who are officials here.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mei asked, "Guizhou? Was it once also called Zigui County? Concubine Ming of the Han Dynasty?"

Jia Zhu said: "Exactly. The Western Han Dynasty was not called Jingzhou Prefecture, but Nanjun."

Shi Mei's head hurts: "Yeah, I see, it's the hometown of Hanming Concubine Wang Zhaojun. Oh, that's a mountainous area?"

Jia Zhu said: "My uncle deliberately arranged this for Cong'er. The poorer the place is, the less likely it is to make mistakes."

Shi Mei nodded: "That's right."

What Jia Cong meant was that there are few people in Zigui Mountain, so it is not a good place, and he is not prepared to bring his family.

Mrs. Zhang was a little moved.

Shi Mei urged Jia Cong to take Ye Yun to the post.

Shi Mei said: "How can this be done, not only the daughter-in-law, but also Jia Wei.

It is best for a son to be taught by his parents. As for how to enlighten a child, our family has its own set of rules, you just follow it. "

Of course Ye Yun hopes to follow her husband to take office.

However, Jia Cong insisted on letting her stay, and she would not object.

Ye Yun is more sensible than Jia Cong, and is a good helper, so Shi Mei naturally wants to urge Ye Yun to follow him to the post, lest Jia Cong repeat Jia Zhang's mistakes.

It just so happened that Jia Zhu returned to Beijing and brought back Jia Jiagui and Jia Wei.

Shi Mei negotiated with Jia Zhu, and asked Jia Zhu to give Jia Cong a skilled hand, and asked him to pick another person from the clan to go out to practice.

Jia Zhu gave Jia Gui to Jia Cong, and then became a master.

Jia Lang also followed Jia Cong to Huguang to do business, and by the way helped Jia Cong inquire about the news of the people.

Before leaving, Jia Zhu taught Jia Cong his experience: "To be a magistrate, apart from being clean and self-respecting, you must also ensure two things.

The first article is to solve the food and clothing of the people under its jurisdiction.

The second article educates the villagers.As long as these two things are done well, you will be a master of Qingtian. "

Jia Cong was very intelligent and wrote a feasibility report to Jia Zhu.

How to solve the food and clothing of the people?

Construct water conservancy and pay attention to agriculture and mulberry.

How to educate the people and set up schools.

Huguang Shimei still has some understanding.

But I don't know what's going on in Zigui at this time.

Jia Zhu is ready for Jia Cong.

Zigui is indeed sparsely populated.

However, that place is very suitable for growing sweet potatoes, lotus roots and citrus.

Shi Mei was right when she thought about it.

Mountain depressions are suitable for growing sweet potatoes, and it is estimated that ordinary people will have no major problems eating.

However, if the county magistrate wants to run a school, he can't do it with just a touch of his mouth.

There are not so many Yicang Yitian.

Mountain people have a lot of rare wood.

However, the road to Shu is difficult, and the road to the Three Gorges is not bad.

Li Bai's "The sound of apes on both sides of the strait can't hold back" refers to the Three Gorges waterway entering Zigui.

Shi Mei had seen the scenery of the Three Gorges.

Shimei, the hometown of Concubine Han Ming, also visited.

Modern roads extend in all directions, and it is very difficult to get to Wang Zhaojun's hometown.

The mountain road is winding, and drivers with poor skills are afraid to go on the road.

Jia Cong and his wife are making preparations.

Mrs. Zhang went to Shi Mei to wipe her tears: "What are you doing, master?

It's better to take care of the family business at home than to drive the child to such a remote place. What kind of Jinshi exam is there? "

Shi Mei put her index finger on her mouth: "Hush!"

Then, he brought Mrs. Zhang into the secret room: "Cong'er stays in the capital and is the new emperor's ironclad.

If the new emperor asked him to fight Yanhou, what would Conger do?

If the crime falls into the hands of Marquis Yan, how will Marquis Yan deal with it?

If you want me to say, Sheer did a good job this time.

When Cong'er was born, the Rong Mansion was in full bloom.

He is not as stable as Lian'er, if he stays in the capital, he may fall into the trap of seizing the heir.

He simply hid in the deep mountains, and after a few years, when the dust settled, Lian'er still managed to get him back?

At that time, he also had qualifications, so he could be a third- and fourth-rank in the sixth department, wouldn't it be safe and sound? "

Zhang was stunned for a long time: "It's actually like this!

Then go ahead.However, let the child stay, I will take it with me, poor mountains and rivers..."

Before Jia Cong left, he didn't take Jia Wei with him.

Ye Zheng and his wife also went to Zigui, and followed Jia Cong as county captain.

Shi Mei then wrote Zhang Fangzi to Jia Cong.

Even though lotus root powder is made by someone, it's just a small effort.

If you encourage everyone to do it, you can increase taxes, and you can also buy lotus root powder into Kyoto.

The shops in Rongfu can help.

Many people make sweet potato flour from sweet potatoes.

However, people who are fans do not.

Combining these two aspects, Jia Cong's three-year political achievements are not ugly.

Not only Jia Cong was interested in this method, but Jia Zhu was also interested.

After three years of outstanding performance, he was directly promoted to the magistrate.

The author has something to say: it is too late to catch bugs in the second half, and I will catch bugs as soon as possible.

Angels forgive! ! !
