[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade
Chapter 101 (1)
Jia Min, who finally said it, believed that Lin Ruhai's title was not obtained because of his own injury, Shen Yue said to Daiyu: "But I'm worried, why did you lose weight?"
Daiyu also took a look at Shen Yue, this glance was neither dodging nor evasive, as if she wanted to engrave Shen Yue in her heart, then she smiled at him and said frankly: "I was worried, but fortunately my uncle sent someone to go home the next day She was the elder sister of the family, and when her father was at home, everything could be blamed on her father, but her father was not there, and her brother was still young, and her mother was worried that she would be too out of order, so Daiyu had to stand up. Do most of the housework.
It was also at this time that we discovered that the in-laws behaved differently. On the second day, the uncle of the Shen family sent more than a dozen strong servants to patrol the marquis just like the Lin family's own servants, while the old lady in the general's mansion dispatched He invited three or four wives and asked Jia Min to go to the house to discuss matters.
Daiyu has been following Jia Min to meet these women. When Jia Min was softened by what those women said about Jia Mu's "love of daughters", she had no choice but to stand up:
"The situation in central Beijing is unclear now, and the roads cannot guarantee safety. Besides, only the wife in our mansion can still make up her mind, but the general's mansion not only has the eldest uncle and second uncle, but also the second brother Lian who has grown up. Rented by the old lady. Even if our wife is in the house, she is just a woman, and she can’t go out to inquire and can’t be trusted. In the past, she was just worrying with the old lady, and worried about me and my brother. What can we discuss?"
Those women were blushed by Daiyu's words, so Jia Min also directly rejected Jia's mother's proposal: "After my master returns to the mansion, I will visit the two elder brothers."
When the wives left and Daiyu wanted to apologize to Jia Min, Jia Min wanted to comfort Daiyu first: "It's because I was soft-hearted for a while, if something like this happens in the future, you have to remind me like today .”
From that day on, Daiyu seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and she started to comprehend the things that Nanny Gu said before, her own ideas were also very upright, and she also paid more attention to Brother Kuan's homework.Today I heard that Shen Yue returned to the mansion, and sent a letter saying that it is inconvenient for him to visit the mansion. Jia Min intends to ask Shen Yue about Lin Ruhai's situation, and Daiyu also wants to follow.Jia Min didn't want Daiyu to come, but she couldn't say any strong rebuttal to her daughter who was getting more and more determined.
Seeing that Shen Yue is all well now, Dai Yu asked: "Brother Ai, were you afraid at that time?"
Shen Yue nodded: "I'm also afraid, but knowing that it's useless to be afraid, it's better to be more imposing and have a better ending."
Daiyu shook her head in disapproval: "Until the last moment, we must find a way."
Silly girl, at that time, people were using knives and I was fish, how could I think of anything?It's just thinking that even if you can escape one or two, when you tell people about your performance, you won't bear the name of a softie.
"By the way, this shock was not in vain, the sage also promoted me to an official position." Shen Yue announced the good news to Daiyu.
"It's only a matter of time before you get promoted. I'd rather Brother Ai's promotion be slower and more stable." Daiyu still disagreed.
The old lady and others nodded in agreement after hearing this, and said to Daiyu: "The grandfather has always liked you, let Yue'er take you to meet the grandfather as well."
Daiyu didn't hold back, stood up obediently, and followed Shen Yue slowly towards the inner study: "Brother Ai, what I said just now was from the bottom of my heart, but I might not take any more risks."
Looking at her worried little face, Shen Yue knew that she must be having a hard time these few days, so he nodded to reassure her: "I know. If it was possible, who would take the risk, and who would let me go to find Mr., the saint would hide in the In Mr.'s tent."
Daiyu's eyes turned red when she heard this: "Father is really not injured?"
Shen Yue nodded affirmatively: "I'm really not hurt." He was just a little angry with me.Seeing that the girls were far away, Shen Yue whispered: "The sage said in front of Mr. that he will give us a marriage after returning to Luan."
Seeing that Daiyu's little face turned red a little bit, she cast a sidelong glance at Shen Yue: "Okay, what are you talking about, a saint is too..."
Shen Yue just smiled, wanting La Daiyu to go forward, but the little girl gently let her go, she just pulled her sleeve, feeling indescribably satisfied in her heart, after the imperial decree was issued, even Lin Ruhai would not be able to take it and find it again The son-in-law frightened himself.
"Yu'er wants to see the Grandpa?" Li Shi who was delivering clothes to Shen Chao came out from the study, greeted Daiyu first, and then said to Shen Yue: "The Grandpa just woke up, you just happened to talk to the Grandpa. "
Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Yue bowed to Mrs. Li and stepped aside, watching her leave the yard before entering the house with Daiyu.Grand Master Shen's eyes were very dim, but he still showed a kind smile: "Yu'er is here, sit down."
Daiyu went up to say hello, and saw that the old man was so thin that only a handful of bones were left, and he had nothing to do with the wisdom and elegance he had seen in the past, so she felt sore: "It was not quiet in Beijing two days ago, and I haven't come to say hello to my grandfather for a long time. miss you."
Grand Master Shen nodded, motioned to Shen Yue and said: "Didn't you ask you to pack up a few poetry collections and give them to Yu'er."
Shen Yue knew where the things in the box were kept, he didn't want the grandfather to deliberately release the things that day to give them to Daiyu.The box is only more than a foot square, and it is more appropriate to say it is a box than a box.Daiyu took it and put it on the small table, and wanted to thank Grand Master Shen, but was stopped by Grand Master Shen: "They are not as good as you in poetry, so I can rest assured if I leave it to them to cast the pearl secretly, or give it to you."
Daiyu thanked and thanked, without saying a word, the old man was already in a state of exhaustion, and waved his hand to Daiyu, Shen Yue carried the box for Daiyu, and said to Daiyu after leaving the house: "My grandfather is used to being strong, and I don't want to show it in front of you." tired."
Daiyu reluctantly nodded: "I know." The expression was still sad, and the two returned to the main courtyard in silence.After all, Jia Min didn't stay for dinner, but only told Shen Yue not to forget to inform himself if there was any news, and to take Daiyu home with him.
Once Shen Yue returned, he and Shen Chao took turns guarding the grandfather's side during the day, and Xueshi Shen guarded himself at night.The old lady is also a person of age, and her children and grandchildren dare not make her tired, so Liu Shi, Fang Shi and Li Shi manage the internal affairs together.
Not three days later, Sheng Jia had returned to Luan, Shen Xueshi and Shen Xin had to go out of the city to meet him.Now let people wake up directly, and bring the ministers back to the city together.Officials below the third rank were ordered to stop by the Ministry of Rites, and they went back to the Yamen to handle errands. The ministers and scholars of various ministries were brought to Daming Palace together by the present day.
Dai Quan didn't expect that today would come directly to the Ming Palace, he went up to the front of the mountain and said to the present: "The Supreme Emperor is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid he won't be able to see His Majesty."
Today he directly said: "Yongxi, a loyal and rebellious son, admitted that he poisoned the Supreme Emperor to violate the harmony of the holy body, so I brought all the ministers and workers together to pay respects to the father, and also asked the father to expressly explain how Yongxi's party should deal with it. Are you going to stop the Supreme Emperor from dealing with state affairs?"
How dare Dai Quan accept such cruel words?Ever since Yongxi's party besieged the palace, the life and death of the Supreme Emperor and himself were at stake, so he had no choice but to bow down and invite the present and others to enter the hall.
The Supreme Emperor was recovering from his illness in the inner hall, and now, after taking his courtiers to pay his respects, he signaled Dai Quan to directly raise the curtain cage—this time, he was full of reason, and he could do everything he could to others.
This kind of behavior directly made the still sober Supreme Emperor angrily scold: "Are you trying to force me to death?"
Taking a few steps forward, the courteous and considerate greetings were not missed: "I was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would misunderstand, so I brought my ministers to be a witness. Chen Xueshi, Zhang Xueshi, Lin Shangshu and others are all trusted by the Supreme Emperor. Veteran, they all heard that Yongxi personally admitted to poisoning the Supreme Emperor. Not only that, but because Grand Master Shen entered the palace to greet the Supreme Emperor, he was also affected, and now he is also lying on the sick bed."
"What did you say?" The Supreme Emperor stretched his arms, thinking about getting up from the dragon bed, but unfortunately, the first emperor also had to succumb to his old illness, and only made movements, and it was difficult to support the sick body.He turned his eyes to the veteran ministers who were pointed out just now, and saw these people grabbing the land with their heads: "Please learn from the Supreme Emperor, Yongxi is a rebel against human relations and has evil intentions. This person is not only a blessing of the clan."
Bachelor Shen also paused and said: "My father has the Supreme Emperor in his heart. Whenever he is in better health, he wants to chat with the Supreme Emperor to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, he was also killed by Yongxi. I also ask the Supreme Emperor to be the master of my father and return justice to my family."
It turned out that he was not sick, but was poisoned by Yongxi again!The Taishang Emperor's eyes darkened: "That bastard, it really is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." After speaking, two black blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he fell into a coma.
With a move now, the imperial physicians who had been waiting in the hall came forward to treat him.After a few injections, the Taishang Huang woke up leisurely, and found that he and his ministers were still in his palace today. He knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he might not even be able to drink the soup: "Yongxi actually plotted against him, and he will get rid of his clan. , his family, his family..."
"The Supreme Emperor..." There was a mournful cry from outside the hall, and he said without turning his head now: "Dai Quan went to have a look, the Supreme Emperor and I are discussing matters, why would a woman disturb the political affairs? Send people to the Department of Punishment to study. rule."
Dai Quan grinned inwardly, it is clear that Concubine Zhen Gui heard that Yongxi was escorted to Beijing, and came to hit the wooden clock of the Supreme Emperor in order to expiate her crime, and she did not want to be crucified to death in the name of meddling in politics.She was originally a high-ranking concubine, so she should be taught by the queen mother to impose palace rules, but she was directly ordered to be sent to the Department of Punishment, because she was not recognized as a concubine and only a court lady.
Now Concubine Zhen Gui is also on the lookout for Liu, and when it's over, I'm afraid it will be...
The Supreme Emperor only coughed, but did not refute.Now he continued: "The king of Yizhong County is not strict in governing his family, and he is the younger brother of Yongxi. He conspired against him, so he should be dealt with together with Yongxi. There are also Princess Yizhong and others who don't know how to persuade Yongxi. conspiracy."
"The Supreme Emperor, please leave some blood for Zhi'er." Dowager Zhen Gui obviously heard the words of today, and begged the Supreme Emperor with a mournful voice.Today looked at Dai Quan with dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with this woman? I have always thought that you are safe, so I left you to serve the Supreme Emperor. I don't want to be able to order you around today because of my good hands and feet. It can be seen that the Supreme Emperor's sick bed is full of dissatisfaction. Come here, send this slave and that woman to the Department of Punishment."
"The Supreme Emperor—" Dai Quan had no choice but to ask his master for help.The Supreme Emperor glanced at the present, and simply lowered his eyelids, allowing the present to drag Dai Quan out. After another moment, there was no more sound outside the hall.
"I also ask the Supreme Emperor to give justice to the Shen family, and to the subjects of the world." Xueshi Shen asked again.Lin Ruhai and several courtiers who had heard Yongxi's raving words echoed in unison: "Please give justice to the subjects of the world, the Supreme Emperor."
"Emperor, what do you think?" The Supreme Emperor wanted to kick the ball to the present.Today, the ball is not kicked back: "Yongxi conspired against and killed the king, and his family members were expelled. The men were beheaded, and the women were sent as slaves to the people in the northwest village."
"You—" Two streaks of black blood appeared on the corner of Taishanghuang's mouth just after being cleaned up.The imperial doctor stepped forward to persuade: "The Supreme Emperor was originally injured by Yongxi's poison, please take care of the dragon's body, it is not appropriate to be overjoyed and sad."
The ministers also echoed the imperial physician, asking the Supreme Emperor not to be angry with a rebellious minister, and it is important to take care of the dragon's body.The Supreme Emperor, who has been an emperor for decades, saw that his general situation was really gone, and nodded heavily towards the present: "It's up to you."
Today, I don't just want to deal with Yizhong Palace, but to uproot those who are rebellious: "There are still a few who are rebellious, let's deal with Yizhong Mansion as well."
The Taishang Huang wished that today would be a massacre, so as to get the name of cruelty, and he didn't ask who was in rebellion, he just waved to present and the ministers to make him retreat.Now that he has achieved his goal of crossing the path of enlightenment, he will not entangle with the Supreme Emperor any more. After leaving the Daming Palace, he ordered the ministers to discuss matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation later, and he himself went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to announce the good news to the Queen Mother.
"That woman can no longer be domineering over the queen mother." Looking at the empress dowager's haggard face, today said what he wanted to say a long time ago.
The corners of the queen mother's eyes were slightly red but she could not hold back: "The saint's heart is good, but he shouldn't put himself in danger. If one is not good, who can I count on?"
Today he laughed: "I'm not in danger, the Supreme Emperor still wants to use filial piety to suppress me and forgive Yong Xi, but now he can catch them all in one go. At such a young age, Shen Yue has a bit of a bone, and he dares to fight back against the knife raised above his head. He was able to expose Yongxi's conspiracy. If it weren't for his cleverness this time, the Supreme Emperor and some veteran officials would still not be able to recognize the face of Yizhong's mansion."
The queen mother hurriedly asked about the situation at that time, and when she heard that Shen Yue and Lin Ruhai, teachers and students, came forward to save her, she also sighed: "That's all for Shen Yue, the entire Shen family is loyal. But Lin Ruhai, who turned out to be someone who is trusted by the Supreme Emperor, It is really not easy to protect a saint like this."
Jinjin nodded: "It is precisely because of this that I have re-rewarded him with the title of Marquis of Zhong'an. It's just that Shen Yue is still too young to ascend to the high position suddenly."
"At the age of 16, he is already a fifth-rank official. Buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars is considered the ultimate. If it can be used in the future, the sage will promote him." Promoted too quickly.
"Because of Shen Yue's words, Lin Ruhai doesn't even want this son-in-law anymore." Today, he didn't want to talk too much about the past affairs with the Queen Mother, so he simply changed the topic to a lighter one.
The queen mother also knew that what she said just now was the limit, and she didn't even change her eyes when she heard the topic change today: "Such a promising, loving and righteous child, what shortcomings does he have? Shen Yue?"
"Twelve?" Present disdainful: "I'm used to being submissive, how can I be worthy of Shen Yue? Lin Ruhai was just so frustrated that at the last moment, he even asked him to choose a husband for his daughter again, angry that he underestimated his daughter."
The queen mother didn't think so: "You men think that your daughter's family should be the same forever, but you don't think that Shen Yue is the daughter who really loves Lin Ruhai. Isn't that child younger than Shen Yue? He is exactly the same age as Hua Zhi'er , if Shen Yue really has something, can't we just let her wither at a young age?"
At that time, I had the mentality of watching a joke, and now I tell the Queen Mother as if it were a joke. I don't think the Queen Mother thinks this way, and I feel that it is not unreasonable for a while: "Speaking of this, Shen Yue did not do anything wrong, Lin Ruhai blamed him? "
"It's a mistake." The Queen Mother lightly picked up a piece of snack: "It's rare that he has such a heart."
"I have already agreed to marry the two of them after returning to Beijing. Even the queen mother agrees, so I will give them a will, and it will be regarded as a respect for the daughter of the Lin family."
The Empress Dowager is also happy to see the success of buying people's hearts like this today: "You men are desperately seeking a wife and shade. Shen Yue has made meritorious deeds. He protected the saint. I also give the Lin family daughter some dignity. But this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Since ancient times, due to difficulties, the Lin family daughters have been rewarded with dignity, I am afraid that Shen Yue's mother will not like it."
When did you pay attention to the parental conflict among women?For a while, he looked at the queen mother in a daze, hoping that the queen mother would give him an idea.All the Empress Dowager has seen for many years is the heroic figure who is strategizing today, but it is rare to see such a situation in this hour.
Seeing the current situation now, there is a smile on his face: "This is the same as no matter what good things are offered outside, the sage will send me here to pick first. If I really reward a concubine, I don't care. Those who won the reward not only dare not be happy, but also have to tremble in their hearts for fear of hurting my face."
Now he hurriedly said: "Mother-child relationship, if I get a good thing, I must first honor the Queen Mother."
Hearing the urgency of what he said, the queen mother smiled and said: "Isn't this the same as Shen Yue's matter? If I only rewarded the Lin family daughter, even if Shen Yue's mother didn't care, then the Lin family daughter would accept it with trepidation. Rewarding people is hard for others.”
Now that I understood it, I asked the Queen Mother: "Then Shen Ren is already the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Shen Yue's mother also has a third-rank edict, so it is not appropriate to elevate Shen Yue's mother's edict."
The queen mother understood: "Yes, you must take care of the dignity of your men's family, and you must not let women overwhelm you." After finishing speaking, without looking at the current face, she said to the serving lady: "Take four ruyis, and then choose a new one. The imported jewelry and clothing materials will be rewarded to the Lin family and the Shen family respectively. The Shen family will directly reward Shen Yue's mother and reward her for teaching her son."
Seeing that the queen mother's order was done, and the female officer went down to prepare the reward, he asked: "The female officer here is very face-to-face with the queen mother."
"I know who you are talking about." The queen mother said indifferently: "That Jia Yuanchun that day, I thought she was good-looking and dignified, so I rewarded the Yizhong County King. After all, she is a county king and has been married for many years. Not even having an heir is not good."
Today, I have told the Queen Mother all the opinions on the disposal of the Yizhong Prince's Mansion, and now I heard that the Queen Mother rewarded Jia Yuanchun to the King of Yizhong County, and my heart is still calm: "If you enter the Yizhong Prince's Mansion, then you will be with Yizhong!" Everyone in the house treats it as one."
The queen mother shook her head: "You don't know, that Jia Yuanchun has a big heart."
Hearing what the queen mother said today, I know there must be a story in it. Even if the government is busy, the queen mother is not a person who shoots the target indiscriminately, so she asked: "I also know that the queen mother does not marry people at will."
The queen mother spat lightly: "What kind of thing is she? She is just a low-class concubine who has rewarded the king of Yizhong County. What kind of marriage is meant. Jia Yuanchun told me that she was the daughter-in-law of Jia Rong in the Ningguo Mansion. , is the boss's illegitimate daughter, when she said that, she used the Ningguo Mansion to match Yongxi."
"It's just an illegitimate daughter, so it's worth making a fuss about. I thought you wouldn't be free at that time, and you knew about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion, so I rewarded her directly. Isn't it because you are thinking about Yizhong Prince's Mansion, then send her there Prince Yizhong's Mansion!" At the end, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a sternness.
Today, I know that over the years, what the Queen Mother hates most is women's behind-the-scenes chattering. She raised herself so much, and she didn't know how many villains have suffered from behind-the-scenes complaints.This Jia Yuanchun's secret report to the Queen Mother was kicked on the iron board.
She's just a female official, how can she care now?Apart from praising the empress dowager for her wise and decisive handling, there was not a word of no.
The empress dowager and the people at the top of power today don't care about Jia Yuanchun's life and death, but the wife of the general in the general's mansion is choked with tears: "Poor my Yuanchun, who entered the palace at the age of 14, but ended up going to the bitter cold place in the northwest." Go to the northwest It's not terrible, it's terrible to be a slave to the people in the village at a young age, Madam Wang can't say it.
Aunt Xue also shed tears with her sister, while Xue Baochai's face was pale: Eldest sister Yuanchun entered the palace as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion. If you enter the palace...
Mother Jia's old face was so stern: "This is also her life."
"I don't believe my son's life is so hard. He has survived in the palace for so many years. Why did he suddenly go to Yizhong Prince's Mansion?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia's mother expectantly: "Old lady, can you invite Concubine Zhen Gui?" Come forward and beg for mercy?"
There was no expression on Jia's mother's face: "The noble concubine has been serving the old sage all the time. It is the empress dowager's order for Yuanchun to go to Yizhong's palace."
Mrs. Wang plopped and knelt down at Mother Jia's feet: "Old lady, when she sent Yuan Chun into the palace that day, didn't she say that Concubine Zhen Gui would point Yuan Chun to the eldest prince? But she didn't know that Yuan Chun had arrived at Concubine Lan's palace. At that time we I understand that Concubine Zhen Gui didn't say anything, but Yuan Chun's life is now at stake."
Is this blaming yourself for not doing enough?Mother Jia's anger was mixed with remorse and fear, and she wanted to kick Mrs. Wang away at her feet, but now the eldest room didn't care about anything except for her own food and drink, and only the second room came to chat with her from time to time.If he drives Madam Wang away again, who else is there beside him?
"Get up," Mother Jia suppressed the fire in her heart, and said softly to Mrs. Wang, "I know you love Yuan Chun, she grew up before me, and I only love her more than you. But now the Yizhong Palace With the current situation, Concubine Zhen Gui may not be able to protect herself, so she can't care about Yuan Chun."
Mrs. Wang was still waiting to ask, Aunt Xue said: "I heard that Mrs. Lin in the family has made great contributions in protecting the car, and has been promoted to Zhong'anhou?"
Even Jia Mu's eyes lit up. Since the time of the Supreme Emperor, the court has adhered to the principle of no small rewards, and the titles of each family have been lowered and lowered again and again.Lin Ruhai was able to get back the title of his ancestors. This credit must be not small, and he should be very respectable in front of the present. If he speaks to the present, then Yuanchun...
"Is this news true?" Mother Jia asked Aunt Xue.Now the maids in Rongqingtang have been changed by Wang Xifeng, and the news from outside can't be delivered easily.The news of Jia Yuanchun's entry into Yizhong Prince's Mansion was brought back by Jia's mother's earlier move.
Therefore, it was the first time for Mother Jia to hear that Lin and Chen's family received the marriage decree and that both families of women were rewarded by the Queen Mother.Look, this is my good daughter, and I don't even know such a happy event to announce the good news to myself as a mother, how can I miss her gift?
"Come here, ask Lian's second grandma if she knows that the Lin family won the title, but did they give you a congratulatory gift?" The old lady ordered outside, and then said to Mrs. Wang: "Tomorrow, let's go congratulate Min'er."
Mrs. Wang couldn't wait for this, as long as she saw Jia Min, whether it was a happy event or not, she would cry even if she wanted to, so she agreed to intercede for Yuan Chun.
It's just that Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother have selectively forgotten that ten days ago, the turmoil in Beijing did not allow anyone to greet Jia Min. There is no adult male at home, but are you surprised? Mansion, did Jia Min feel bad for acting like this?
They didn't expect that Aunt Xue's mother and daughter didn't know about it. They only thought that the Lin family was getting more and more prosperous, and they should come forward: "When will the old lady go to see my aunt tomorrow, we will also have a small gift to congratulate her."
Mrs. Wang, however, did not want Aunt Xue to join in: When Xue Pan got into trouble that day, how his sister cried and begged in front of her is still vivid in her mind. inside?
She wiped the corners of her eyes: "Our aunt's house is not the same as in the house, even if I go with the old lady, I have to post a post first."
Mother Jia was reminded by her, and said to the outside world: "Go and tell Second Grandma Lian that tomorrow I will go to Grandma He, and ask her to write a post to the Lin family, and then prepare the sedan chair and horse."
When Wang Xifeng got the letter, he couldn't help but sneer.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang forgot, but she still remembers.And she believed that Jia Min hadn't forgotten about that, didn't she see that the Lin family won the imperial decree, and didn't go to the general's mansion to announce the good news?It can be seen that my aunt is really annoyed.
Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng herself felt that this matter was done in a very unreasonable manner. If no one else said it, Jia Lian was pulled up by Lin Ruhai, and she didn't even take the initiative to visit her aunt that day. No wonder he felt chilled.
"Go back to the old lady, and tell me that the congratulatory gifts from the mansion have already been delivered. If the old lady loves my aunt, she needs to send another gift. Just prepare it. When the old lady decides to go out, just come and tell me." Wang Xifeng is fine. Said slowly to the person Jiamu sent twice.
Knowing that Jia Min has divorced from the mansion, how could Wang Xifeng not prepare a congratulatory gift early and send a decent person to send it there?I just hope that my aunt will ignore the faults of the villain and forgive me again in the face of the master and the second master.
Jia Min weighed the post in his hand, not knowing whether to be happy or annoyed, in the past the old lady always had people call her over, but today she actually thought of sending a post, it was really a moment of time.
It's a pity that this pretty look is destined to be seen by the blind. Jia Min said in embarrassment to Lin Zhixiao's family: "The old lady wants to walk around, which is very good. It's just that the empress ordered me and Yu'er to enter the palace tomorrow. You can't welcome the old lady at home, you go back to the old lady, I will post another post to invite the old lady."
The faces of Lin Zhixiao's family were full of smiles: "It is such an honor to be summoned by the empress. My aunt will definitely enter the palace. Even the old lady can only be happy for her."
Jia Min couldn't help but laugh when she heard the words, how could her mother not know?Even if the queen empress summoned her, she probably felt that she was trying to evade it.I don't care what others think of me, I just look at my children.
When did the old lady become someone else in his heart, Jia Min didn't have time to think about it, so he asked someone to reward Lin Zhixiao's family, so he asked someone to call Daiyu and talk to her about entering the palace.
Daiyu already knew about the marriage offer, although she was not one of those flirtatious and frivolous people, she was also a little shy.Hearing his mother's call, he brought the girl over and found out that tomorrow his mother and daughter will enter the palace to thank her.
Will we be able to meet the twelve princesses this time?This was the first question Daiyu thought of.Thinking that the twelve princesses are the daughters of the Supreme Emperor, they should not appear in the Queen's Palace, so they felt relieved. Hearing Jia Min talk about the rules of meeting in the palace, and looking at tomorrow's clothes together, I was still a little uneasy.
"Miss." Xueyan came in with a letter in her hand: "Young Master has delivered a letter, he must have told Miss about the affairs in the palace, now Miss doesn't have to worry."
Daiyu communicated with Shen Yue, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min turned a blind eye, and there was no need to hide in her own yard.Daiyu accepted the letter generously: "Brother Ai hasn't seen the queen a few times, so I'm afraid he doesn't know what the queen likes."
In Shen Yue's letter, he first told Daiyu her joy after getting the marriage decree, and then told her the blessings of the elders in her family, so that Daiyu didn't have to feel that it would be difficult to go out from now on, and she still had to walk when she should walk with her friends, and let Daiyu Yu doesn't have to be afraid of people's words, now that she has risen all boats, if someone hurts her, she can just go back.
Daiyu was also happy when she saw this: "What brother Ai said is too scary." I don't have many friends, but they are all simple-minded and clean at home, and no one has to be strong.
Later, Shen Yue really told Daiyu about the queen's preferences. The queen is the current wife, with a peaceful and fair personality, dignified and self-restraining, so Daiyu can just keep her nature.
At the end of the letter, Shen Yue wrote out the two lines of poems that he brought to Daiyu for Daiyu to read, in order to fear that the empress would be in the same heart as the current husband and wife, and she would not be able to answer if she asked if Daiyu could continue her poems.
Daiyu's originally nervous mood was calmed down by this letter, and she wanted to reply to Shen Yue's letter, but she couldn't say that she was equally happy when she picked up her pen several times, so she put down her pen silently, and said to Xueyan: "If someone returns Wait, just say I know, if you haven’t waited, it’s fine.” He stared at the two lines of the poem and became dazed.
Shen Yue has always been gentle, kind and considerate in Daiyu's heart.No matter what embarrassment or trouble, as long as he talks to Shen Yue, he will solve it for himself.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yue actually sent these two lines of poems, "I smile to the sky from the sword, and go to Kunlun to keep my heart and gall." I don't know what brother Ai was thinking about death at that time, and said such decisive words.These words are so soul-stirring, just saying them, I feel full of pride.
It turns out that brother Ai not only has tenderness, but also arrogance!Daiyu's fingers unconsciously scratched the two lines of the poem. At that time, Brother Ai, was he really afraid?Now she is a little uncertain.
Even though he was afraid, Brother Ai still didn't back down, and he still denounced the traitor!Such a brand-new Shen Yue made Daiyu feel a little differently moved.Every man has a hero's dream, and every girl's dream has a hero.Now that Shen Yue and the hero in Daiyu's dream are together, she is sincerely grateful for the gift of marriage for the two of them.
Daiyu's temperament is sincere, and she gave this gratitude to her current wife. The Empress Empress, who was talking to Jia Min, looked at the Empress with some hints.
The queen knew that Shen Yue was the son-in-law appointed by the Lin family, so she was somewhat curious about Daiyu.This time when I saw that it was indeed Zhong Lingyuxiu's girl, I felt a little fond of her again.Under this curiosity and affection, the queen can see Daiyu's words and deeds in her eyes, how can she not see Daiyu's closeness to her?
"Mrs. Linhou's daughter is a lucky one," the queen said with a smile to Jia Min, "There are many children from the aristocratic family in Beijing, but there is no second one who is as promising and strong as Master Xiao Shen."
When Jia Min heard the Queen's praise of Shen Yue, his face became even brighter: "I watched him grow up, and he is usually thoughtful, and he is also careful about the affairs of my house. I didn't expect him to be so tough this time, and he is also a saint." probation."
The queen said: "It's also Lin Hou who taught me well. When I met Mr. Xiao Shen that day, I thought he was a master of painting, and I didn't want to get the merit of escort. But I think Miss Lin is also a good one. She is neither humble nor aggressive at such a young age. With degrees, the two can be considered a good match."
Jia Min was still being modest, but when he heard the bell ringing loudly, the queen's expression changed.The eunuch in charge outside hastily came in: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is dead."
For a moment, everyone in Kunning Palace changed their colors, they all knew that the Supreme Emperor was just having a hard time, but when they got the news suddenly, people still couldn't believe it.The queen said to Jia Min's mother and daughter: "So you go back to the house and talk again when you cry."
After Jia Min left with Daiyu, the mother and daughter dared not talk to each other.It was only at the gate of the palace that Shen Yue was waiting there, silently sent Jia Min's mother and daughter to the car, and returned to the Lin Mansion without a word.
"Teacher's wife, the emperor passed away, I'm afraid that the wife and the teacher's wife will go to cry. It's not right that only Yu'er and Brother Kuan are left in the mansion." Shen Yue didn't care about the noise, and directly expressed his worries.
Ordinarily, Daiyu from the Shen family can't go, but brother Kuan can still go.Who told Grand Master Shen to be counting the days now?Once something unexpected happened, Brother Kuan would not feel comfortable staying in Shen's house.In fact, it's not that Daiyu and brother have nowhere to go. The General's Mansion is their natal family, so it's not difficult to entrust them to take care of them for two days.
But neither Jia Min nor Shen Yue thought it was a good idea to let them go to the General's Mansion, and no one suggested it.Daiyu said to Jia Min: "Ma'am, sister-in-law Lin Sheng thinks there is no need to cry."
Shen Yue's eyes brightened. He also knew that Lin Sheng was one of the Lin family who came to Beijing to apply for Enke. Later, he passed the examination of Shujishi. Therefore, Lin Ruhai has always been treated as a nephew.
Jia Min also thought it was a good idea. Lin Sheng was in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was busy with the matter of the Supreme Emperor, so he took Mrs. Lin Sheng to live in the mansion, and took care of both.
At this time, it was not the time to talk about politeness anymore, Jia Min said directly to Shen Yue: "Let your servant take your husband's post to Lin Sheng's house, if Lin Sheng is not at home, just ask his wife directly, and say that I ask her to take care of Yu." Brothers and sisters."
Shen Yue led the order to go out for a while and then turned back: "Now I have to go back to the department to obey the orders, does the teacher have something to bring to the husband?"
Jia Min shook her head, Daiyu sent Shen Yue out: "Brother Ai."
Shen Yue didn't know what she was calling him for, but when he looked at it, he saw the little girl turn her eyes away: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, but I didn't even think of any lines that could go with Brother Ai's two poems. Brother Ai, can you do it yourself?"
Shen Yue smiled at Daiyu's side face: "At that time, I was just in a hurry, and now I don't know how to do it. Even if the empress didn't ask today, she won't ask again in the future, and you don't have to worry about it." This is so exhausting.”
Daiyu raised her chin slightly: "But I just want to finish this poem. Or is brother Ai thinking about it when he has time?"
The goddess has a life, and she has to complete the task even when she cries.Shen Yue still has the foundation of the original work in his heart, and he is not afraid of accepting this encounter: "Okay, I will think about it when I have time. It's just that you two are in the mansion, don't think about those vain rituals, just send someone over if you have something to do." Report from the mansion. The mansion has already told the elder brother to leave, and the second master is also in Beijing, you know?"
Only then did Daiyu turn her face to Shen Yue: "Brother Ai, you have to be careful yourself."
Shen Yue didn't dare to touch her hair, so he gave her a reassuring smile: "The rebels have been cleaned up by the sage in the past few days, don't worry." He also wanted to tell Daiyu a few words, but Daiyu had already reached the second gate. It's easy to get out of the second door, and Yaoyao said to Shen Yue: "Don't be brave."
Shen Yue replied to her: "Don't think too much." The two looked at each other and smiled, turned around together without looking back.
Shen Yue came to the yamen of the household department in a hurry, but he didn't know where he should go - he hadn't been on business since he returned to Beijing, and he didn't know if the place had changed after his rank was promoted.
"Master Shen.
Daiyu also took a look at Shen Yue, this glance was neither dodging nor evasive, as if she wanted to engrave Shen Yue in her heart, then she smiled at him and said frankly: "I was worried, but fortunately my uncle sent someone to go home the next day She was the elder sister of the family, and when her father was at home, everything could be blamed on her father, but her father was not there, and her brother was still young, and her mother was worried that she would be too out of order, so Daiyu had to stand up. Do most of the housework.
It was also at this time that we discovered that the in-laws behaved differently. On the second day, the uncle of the Shen family sent more than a dozen strong servants to patrol the marquis just like the Lin family's own servants, while the old lady in the general's mansion dispatched He invited three or four wives and asked Jia Min to go to the house to discuss matters.
Daiyu has been following Jia Min to meet these women. When Jia Min was softened by what those women said about Jia Mu's "love of daughters", she had no choice but to stand up:
"The situation in central Beijing is unclear now, and the roads cannot guarantee safety. Besides, only the wife in our mansion can still make up her mind, but the general's mansion not only has the eldest uncle and second uncle, but also the second brother Lian who has grown up. Rented by the old lady. Even if our wife is in the house, she is just a woman, and she can’t go out to inquire and can’t be trusted. In the past, she was just worrying with the old lady, and worried about me and my brother. What can we discuss?"
Those women were blushed by Daiyu's words, so Jia Min also directly rejected Jia's mother's proposal: "After my master returns to the mansion, I will visit the two elder brothers."
When the wives left and Daiyu wanted to apologize to Jia Min, Jia Min wanted to comfort Daiyu first: "It's because I was soft-hearted for a while, if something like this happens in the future, you have to remind me like today .”
From that day on, Daiyu seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and she started to comprehend the things that Nanny Gu said before, her own ideas were also very upright, and she also paid more attention to Brother Kuan's homework.Today I heard that Shen Yue returned to the mansion, and sent a letter saying that it is inconvenient for him to visit the mansion. Jia Min intends to ask Shen Yue about Lin Ruhai's situation, and Daiyu also wants to follow.Jia Min didn't want Daiyu to come, but she couldn't say any strong rebuttal to her daughter who was getting more and more determined.
Seeing that Shen Yue is all well now, Dai Yu asked: "Brother Ai, were you afraid at that time?"
Shen Yue nodded: "I'm also afraid, but knowing that it's useless to be afraid, it's better to be more imposing and have a better ending."
Daiyu shook her head in disapproval: "Until the last moment, we must find a way."
Silly girl, at that time, people were using knives and I was fish, how could I think of anything?It's just thinking that even if you can escape one or two, when you tell people about your performance, you won't bear the name of a softie.
"By the way, this shock was not in vain, the sage also promoted me to an official position." Shen Yue announced the good news to Daiyu.
"It's only a matter of time before you get promoted. I'd rather Brother Ai's promotion be slower and more stable." Daiyu still disagreed.
The old lady and others nodded in agreement after hearing this, and said to Daiyu: "The grandfather has always liked you, let Yue'er take you to meet the grandfather as well."
Daiyu didn't hold back, stood up obediently, and followed Shen Yue slowly towards the inner study: "Brother Ai, what I said just now was from the bottom of my heart, but I might not take any more risks."
Looking at her worried little face, Shen Yue knew that she must be having a hard time these few days, so he nodded to reassure her: "I know. If it was possible, who would take the risk, and who would let me go to find Mr., the saint would hide in the In Mr.'s tent."
Daiyu's eyes turned red when she heard this: "Father is really not injured?"
Shen Yue nodded affirmatively: "I'm really not hurt." He was just a little angry with me.Seeing that the girls were far away, Shen Yue whispered: "The sage said in front of Mr. that he will give us a marriage after returning to Luan."
Seeing that Daiyu's little face turned red a little bit, she cast a sidelong glance at Shen Yue: "Okay, what are you talking about, a saint is too..."
Shen Yue just smiled, wanting La Daiyu to go forward, but the little girl gently let her go, she just pulled her sleeve, feeling indescribably satisfied in her heart, after the imperial decree was issued, even Lin Ruhai would not be able to take it and find it again The son-in-law frightened himself.
"Yu'er wants to see the Grandpa?" Li Shi who was delivering clothes to Shen Chao came out from the study, greeted Daiyu first, and then said to Shen Yue: "The Grandpa just woke up, you just happened to talk to the Grandpa. "
Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Yue bowed to Mrs. Li and stepped aside, watching her leave the yard before entering the house with Daiyu.Grand Master Shen's eyes were very dim, but he still showed a kind smile: "Yu'er is here, sit down."
Daiyu went up to say hello, and saw that the old man was so thin that only a handful of bones were left, and he had nothing to do with the wisdom and elegance he had seen in the past, so she felt sore: "It was not quiet in Beijing two days ago, and I haven't come to say hello to my grandfather for a long time. miss you."
Grand Master Shen nodded, motioned to Shen Yue and said: "Didn't you ask you to pack up a few poetry collections and give them to Yu'er."
Shen Yue knew where the things in the box were kept, he didn't want the grandfather to deliberately release the things that day to give them to Daiyu.The box is only more than a foot square, and it is more appropriate to say it is a box than a box.Daiyu took it and put it on the small table, and wanted to thank Grand Master Shen, but was stopped by Grand Master Shen: "They are not as good as you in poetry, so I can rest assured if I leave it to them to cast the pearl secretly, or give it to you."
Daiyu thanked and thanked, without saying a word, the old man was already in a state of exhaustion, and waved his hand to Daiyu, Shen Yue carried the box for Daiyu, and said to Daiyu after leaving the house: "My grandfather is used to being strong, and I don't want to show it in front of you." tired."
Daiyu reluctantly nodded: "I know." The expression was still sad, and the two returned to the main courtyard in silence.After all, Jia Min didn't stay for dinner, but only told Shen Yue not to forget to inform himself if there was any news, and to take Daiyu home with him.
Once Shen Yue returned, he and Shen Chao took turns guarding the grandfather's side during the day, and Xueshi Shen guarded himself at night.The old lady is also a person of age, and her children and grandchildren dare not make her tired, so Liu Shi, Fang Shi and Li Shi manage the internal affairs together.
Not three days later, Sheng Jia had returned to Luan, Shen Xueshi and Shen Xin had to go out of the city to meet him.Now let people wake up directly, and bring the ministers back to the city together.Officials below the third rank were ordered to stop by the Ministry of Rites, and they went back to the Yamen to handle errands. The ministers and scholars of various ministries were brought to Daming Palace together by the present day.
Dai Quan didn't expect that today would come directly to the Ming Palace, he went up to the front of the mountain and said to the present: "The Supreme Emperor is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid he won't be able to see His Majesty."
Today he directly said: "Yongxi, a loyal and rebellious son, admitted that he poisoned the Supreme Emperor to violate the harmony of the holy body, so I brought all the ministers and workers together to pay respects to the father, and also asked the father to expressly explain how Yongxi's party should deal with it. Are you going to stop the Supreme Emperor from dealing with state affairs?"
How dare Dai Quan accept such cruel words?Ever since Yongxi's party besieged the palace, the life and death of the Supreme Emperor and himself were at stake, so he had no choice but to bow down and invite the present and others to enter the hall.
The Supreme Emperor was recovering from his illness in the inner hall, and now, after taking his courtiers to pay his respects, he signaled Dai Quan to directly raise the curtain cage—this time, he was full of reason, and he could do everything he could to others.
This kind of behavior directly made the still sober Supreme Emperor angrily scold: "Are you trying to force me to death?"
Taking a few steps forward, the courteous and considerate greetings were not missed: "I was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would misunderstand, so I brought my ministers to be a witness. Chen Xueshi, Zhang Xueshi, Lin Shangshu and others are all trusted by the Supreme Emperor. Veteran, they all heard that Yongxi personally admitted to poisoning the Supreme Emperor. Not only that, but because Grand Master Shen entered the palace to greet the Supreme Emperor, he was also affected, and now he is also lying on the sick bed."
"What did you say?" The Supreme Emperor stretched his arms, thinking about getting up from the dragon bed, but unfortunately, the first emperor also had to succumb to his old illness, and only made movements, and it was difficult to support the sick body.He turned his eyes to the veteran ministers who were pointed out just now, and saw these people grabbing the land with their heads: "Please learn from the Supreme Emperor, Yongxi is a rebel against human relations and has evil intentions. This person is not only a blessing of the clan."
Bachelor Shen also paused and said: "My father has the Supreme Emperor in his heart. Whenever he is in better health, he wants to chat with the Supreme Emperor to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, he was also killed by Yongxi. I also ask the Supreme Emperor to be the master of my father and return justice to my family."
It turned out that he was not sick, but was poisoned by Yongxi again!The Taishang Emperor's eyes darkened: "That bastard, it really is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." After speaking, two black blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he fell into a coma.
With a move now, the imperial physicians who had been waiting in the hall came forward to treat him.After a few injections, the Taishang Huang woke up leisurely, and found that he and his ministers were still in his palace today. He knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he might not even be able to drink the soup: "Yongxi actually plotted against him, and he will get rid of his clan. , his family, his family..."
"The Supreme Emperor..." There was a mournful cry from outside the hall, and he said without turning his head now: "Dai Quan went to have a look, the Supreme Emperor and I are discussing matters, why would a woman disturb the political affairs? Send people to the Department of Punishment to study. rule."
Dai Quan grinned inwardly, it is clear that Concubine Zhen Gui heard that Yongxi was escorted to Beijing, and came to hit the wooden clock of the Supreme Emperor in order to expiate her crime, and she did not want to be crucified to death in the name of meddling in politics.She was originally a high-ranking concubine, so she should be taught by the queen mother to impose palace rules, but she was directly ordered to be sent to the Department of Punishment, because she was not recognized as a concubine and only a court lady.
Now Concubine Zhen Gui is also on the lookout for Liu, and when it's over, I'm afraid it will be...
The Supreme Emperor only coughed, but did not refute.Now he continued: "The king of Yizhong County is not strict in governing his family, and he is the younger brother of Yongxi. He conspired against him, so he should be dealt with together with Yongxi. There are also Princess Yizhong and others who don't know how to persuade Yongxi. conspiracy."
"The Supreme Emperor, please leave some blood for Zhi'er." Dowager Zhen Gui obviously heard the words of today, and begged the Supreme Emperor with a mournful voice.Today looked at Dai Quan with dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with this woman? I have always thought that you are safe, so I left you to serve the Supreme Emperor. I don't want to be able to order you around today because of my good hands and feet. It can be seen that the Supreme Emperor's sick bed is full of dissatisfaction. Come here, send this slave and that woman to the Department of Punishment."
"The Supreme Emperor—" Dai Quan had no choice but to ask his master for help.The Supreme Emperor glanced at the present, and simply lowered his eyelids, allowing the present to drag Dai Quan out. After another moment, there was no more sound outside the hall.
"I also ask the Supreme Emperor to give justice to the Shen family, and to the subjects of the world." Xueshi Shen asked again.Lin Ruhai and several courtiers who had heard Yongxi's raving words echoed in unison: "Please give justice to the subjects of the world, the Supreme Emperor."
"Emperor, what do you think?" The Supreme Emperor wanted to kick the ball to the present.Today, the ball is not kicked back: "Yongxi conspired against and killed the king, and his family members were expelled. The men were beheaded, and the women were sent as slaves to the people in the northwest village."
"You—" Two streaks of black blood appeared on the corner of Taishanghuang's mouth just after being cleaned up.The imperial doctor stepped forward to persuade: "The Supreme Emperor was originally injured by Yongxi's poison, please take care of the dragon's body, it is not appropriate to be overjoyed and sad."
The ministers also echoed the imperial physician, asking the Supreme Emperor not to be angry with a rebellious minister, and it is important to take care of the dragon's body.The Supreme Emperor, who has been an emperor for decades, saw that his general situation was really gone, and nodded heavily towards the present: "It's up to you."
Today, I don't just want to deal with Yizhong Palace, but to uproot those who are rebellious: "There are still a few who are rebellious, let's deal with Yizhong Mansion as well."
The Taishang Huang wished that today would be a massacre, so as to get the name of cruelty, and he didn't ask who was in rebellion, he just waved to present and the ministers to make him retreat.Now that he has achieved his goal of crossing the path of enlightenment, he will not entangle with the Supreme Emperor any more. After leaving the Daming Palace, he ordered the ministers to discuss matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation later, and he himself went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to announce the good news to the Queen Mother.
"That woman can no longer be domineering over the queen mother." Looking at the empress dowager's haggard face, today said what he wanted to say a long time ago.
The corners of the queen mother's eyes were slightly red but she could not hold back: "The saint's heart is good, but he shouldn't put himself in danger. If one is not good, who can I count on?"
Today he laughed: "I'm not in danger, the Supreme Emperor still wants to use filial piety to suppress me and forgive Yong Xi, but now he can catch them all in one go. At such a young age, Shen Yue has a bit of a bone, and he dares to fight back against the knife raised above his head. He was able to expose Yongxi's conspiracy. If it weren't for his cleverness this time, the Supreme Emperor and some veteran officials would still not be able to recognize the face of Yizhong's mansion."
The queen mother hurriedly asked about the situation at that time, and when she heard that Shen Yue and Lin Ruhai, teachers and students, came forward to save her, she also sighed: "That's all for Shen Yue, the entire Shen family is loyal. But Lin Ruhai, who turned out to be someone who is trusted by the Supreme Emperor, It is really not easy to protect a saint like this."
Jinjin nodded: "It is precisely because of this that I have re-rewarded him with the title of Marquis of Zhong'an. It's just that Shen Yue is still too young to ascend to the high position suddenly."
"At the age of 16, he is already a fifth-rank official. Buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars is considered the ultimate. If it can be used in the future, the sage will promote him." Promoted too quickly.
"Because of Shen Yue's words, Lin Ruhai doesn't even want this son-in-law anymore." Today, he didn't want to talk too much about the past affairs with the Queen Mother, so he simply changed the topic to a lighter one.
The queen mother also knew that what she said just now was the limit, and she didn't even change her eyes when she heard the topic change today: "Such a promising, loving and righteous child, what shortcomings does he have? Shen Yue?"
"Twelve?" Present disdainful: "I'm used to being submissive, how can I be worthy of Shen Yue? Lin Ruhai was just so frustrated that at the last moment, he even asked him to choose a husband for his daughter again, angry that he underestimated his daughter."
The queen mother didn't think so: "You men think that your daughter's family should be the same forever, but you don't think that Shen Yue is the daughter who really loves Lin Ruhai. Isn't that child younger than Shen Yue? He is exactly the same age as Hua Zhi'er , if Shen Yue really has something, can't we just let her wither at a young age?"
At that time, I had the mentality of watching a joke, and now I tell the Queen Mother as if it were a joke. I don't think the Queen Mother thinks this way, and I feel that it is not unreasonable for a while: "Speaking of this, Shen Yue did not do anything wrong, Lin Ruhai blamed him? "
"It's a mistake." The Queen Mother lightly picked up a piece of snack: "It's rare that he has such a heart."
"I have already agreed to marry the two of them after returning to Beijing. Even the queen mother agrees, so I will give them a will, and it will be regarded as a respect for the daughter of the Lin family."
The Empress Dowager is also happy to see the success of buying people's hearts like this today: "You men are desperately seeking a wife and shade. Shen Yue has made meritorious deeds. He protected the saint. I also give the Lin family daughter some dignity. But this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Since ancient times, due to difficulties, the Lin family daughters have been rewarded with dignity, I am afraid that Shen Yue's mother will not like it."
When did you pay attention to the parental conflict among women?For a while, he looked at the queen mother in a daze, hoping that the queen mother would give him an idea.All the Empress Dowager has seen for many years is the heroic figure who is strategizing today, but it is rare to see such a situation in this hour.
Seeing the current situation now, there is a smile on his face: "This is the same as no matter what good things are offered outside, the sage will send me here to pick first. If I really reward a concubine, I don't care. Those who won the reward not only dare not be happy, but also have to tremble in their hearts for fear of hurting my face."
Now he hurriedly said: "Mother-child relationship, if I get a good thing, I must first honor the Queen Mother."
Hearing the urgency of what he said, the queen mother smiled and said: "Isn't this the same as Shen Yue's matter? If I only rewarded the Lin family daughter, even if Shen Yue's mother didn't care, then the Lin family daughter would accept it with trepidation. Rewarding people is hard for others.”
Now that I understood it, I asked the Queen Mother: "Then Shen Ren is already the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Shen Yue's mother also has a third-rank edict, so it is not appropriate to elevate Shen Yue's mother's edict."
The queen mother understood: "Yes, you must take care of the dignity of your men's family, and you must not let women overwhelm you." After finishing speaking, without looking at the current face, she said to the serving lady: "Take four ruyis, and then choose a new one. The imported jewelry and clothing materials will be rewarded to the Lin family and the Shen family respectively. The Shen family will directly reward Shen Yue's mother and reward her for teaching her son."
Seeing that the queen mother's order was done, and the female officer went down to prepare the reward, he asked: "The female officer here is very face-to-face with the queen mother."
"I know who you are talking about." The queen mother said indifferently: "That Jia Yuanchun that day, I thought she was good-looking and dignified, so I rewarded the Yizhong County King. After all, she is a county king and has been married for many years. Not even having an heir is not good."
Today, I have told the Queen Mother all the opinions on the disposal of the Yizhong Prince's Mansion, and now I heard that the Queen Mother rewarded Jia Yuanchun to the King of Yizhong County, and my heart is still calm: "If you enter the Yizhong Prince's Mansion, then you will be with Yizhong!" Everyone in the house treats it as one."
The queen mother shook her head: "You don't know, that Jia Yuanchun has a big heart."
Hearing what the queen mother said today, I know there must be a story in it. Even if the government is busy, the queen mother is not a person who shoots the target indiscriminately, so she asked: "I also know that the queen mother does not marry people at will."
The queen mother spat lightly: "What kind of thing is she? She is just a low-class concubine who has rewarded the king of Yizhong County. What kind of marriage is meant. Jia Yuanchun told me that she was the daughter-in-law of Jia Rong in the Ningguo Mansion. , is the boss's illegitimate daughter, when she said that, she used the Ningguo Mansion to match Yongxi."
"It's just an illegitimate daughter, so it's worth making a fuss about. I thought you wouldn't be free at that time, and you knew about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion, so I rewarded her directly. Isn't it because you are thinking about Yizhong Prince's Mansion, then send her there Prince Yizhong's Mansion!" At the end, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a sternness.
Today, I know that over the years, what the Queen Mother hates most is women's behind-the-scenes chattering. She raised herself so much, and she didn't know how many villains have suffered from behind-the-scenes complaints.This Jia Yuanchun's secret report to the Queen Mother was kicked on the iron board.
She's just a female official, how can she care now?Apart from praising the empress dowager for her wise and decisive handling, there was not a word of no.
The empress dowager and the people at the top of power today don't care about Jia Yuanchun's life and death, but the wife of the general in the general's mansion is choked with tears: "Poor my Yuanchun, who entered the palace at the age of 14, but ended up going to the bitter cold place in the northwest." Go to the northwest It's not terrible, it's terrible to be a slave to the people in the village at a young age, Madam Wang can't say it.
Aunt Xue also shed tears with her sister, while Xue Baochai's face was pale: Eldest sister Yuanchun entered the palace as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion. If you enter the palace...
Mother Jia's old face was so stern: "This is also her life."
"I don't believe my son's life is so hard. He has survived in the palace for so many years. Why did he suddenly go to Yizhong Prince's Mansion?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia's mother expectantly: "Old lady, can you invite Concubine Zhen Gui?" Come forward and beg for mercy?"
There was no expression on Jia's mother's face: "The noble concubine has been serving the old sage all the time. It is the empress dowager's order for Yuanchun to go to Yizhong's palace."
Mrs. Wang plopped and knelt down at Mother Jia's feet: "Old lady, when she sent Yuan Chun into the palace that day, didn't she say that Concubine Zhen Gui would point Yuan Chun to the eldest prince? But she didn't know that Yuan Chun had arrived at Concubine Lan's palace. At that time we I understand that Concubine Zhen Gui didn't say anything, but Yuan Chun's life is now at stake."
Is this blaming yourself for not doing enough?Mother Jia's anger was mixed with remorse and fear, and she wanted to kick Mrs. Wang away at her feet, but now the eldest room didn't care about anything except for her own food and drink, and only the second room came to chat with her from time to time.If he drives Madam Wang away again, who else is there beside him?
"Get up," Mother Jia suppressed the fire in her heart, and said softly to Mrs. Wang, "I know you love Yuan Chun, she grew up before me, and I only love her more than you. But now the Yizhong Palace With the current situation, Concubine Zhen Gui may not be able to protect herself, so she can't care about Yuan Chun."
Mrs. Wang was still waiting to ask, Aunt Xue said: "I heard that Mrs. Lin in the family has made great contributions in protecting the car, and has been promoted to Zhong'anhou?"
Even Jia Mu's eyes lit up. Since the time of the Supreme Emperor, the court has adhered to the principle of no small rewards, and the titles of each family have been lowered and lowered again and again.Lin Ruhai was able to get back the title of his ancestors. This credit must be not small, and he should be very respectable in front of the present. If he speaks to the present, then Yuanchun...
"Is this news true?" Mother Jia asked Aunt Xue.Now the maids in Rongqingtang have been changed by Wang Xifeng, and the news from outside can't be delivered easily.The news of Jia Yuanchun's entry into Yizhong Prince's Mansion was brought back by Jia's mother's earlier move.
Therefore, it was the first time for Mother Jia to hear that Lin and Chen's family received the marriage decree and that both families of women were rewarded by the Queen Mother.Look, this is my good daughter, and I don't even know such a happy event to announce the good news to myself as a mother, how can I miss her gift?
"Come here, ask Lian's second grandma if she knows that the Lin family won the title, but did they give you a congratulatory gift?" The old lady ordered outside, and then said to Mrs. Wang: "Tomorrow, let's go congratulate Min'er."
Mrs. Wang couldn't wait for this, as long as she saw Jia Min, whether it was a happy event or not, she would cry even if she wanted to, so she agreed to intercede for Yuan Chun.
It's just that Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother have selectively forgotten that ten days ago, the turmoil in Beijing did not allow anyone to greet Jia Min. There is no adult male at home, but are you surprised? Mansion, did Jia Min feel bad for acting like this?
They didn't expect that Aunt Xue's mother and daughter didn't know about it. They only thought that the Lin family was getting more and more prosperous, and they should come forward: "When will the old lady go to see my aunt tomorrow, we will also have a small gift to congratulate her."
Mrs. Wang, however, did not want Aunt Xue to join in: When Xue Pan got into trouble that day, how his sister cried and begged in front of her is still vivid in her mind. inside?
She wiped the corners of her eyes: "Our aunt's house is not the same as in the house, even if I go with the old lady, I have to post a post first."
Mother Jia was reminded by her, and said to the outside world: "Go and tell Second Grandma Lian that tomorrow I will go to Grandma He, and ask her to write a post to the Lin family, and then prepare the sedan chair and horse."
When Wang Xifeng got the letter, he couldn't help but sneer.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang forgot, but she still remembers.And she believed that Jia Min hadn't forgotten about that, didn't she see that the Lin family won the imperial decree, and didn't go to the general's mansion to announce the good news?It can be seen that my aunt is really annoyed.
Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng herself felt that this matter was done in a very unreasonable manner. If no one else said it, Jia Lian was pulled up by Lin Ruhai, and she didn't even take the initiative to visit her aunt that day. No wonder he felt chilled.
"Go back to the old lady, and tell me that the congratulatory gifts from the mansion have already been delivered. If the old lady loves my aunt, she needs to send another gift. Just prepare it. When the old lady decides to go out, just come and tell me." Wang Xifeng is fine. Said slowly to the person Jiamu sent twice.
Knowing that Jia Min has divorced from the mansion, how could Wang Xifeng not prepare a congratulatory gift early and send a decent person to send it there?I just hope that my aunt will ignore the faults of the villain and forgive me again in the face of the master and the second master.
Jia Min weighed the post in his hand, not knowing whether to be happy or annoyed, in the past the old lady always had people call her over, but today she actually thought of sending a post, it was really a moment of time.
It's a pity that this pretty look is destined to be seen by the blind. Jia Min said in embarrassment to Lin Zhixiao's family: "The old lady wants to walk around, which is very good. It's just that the empress ordered me and Yu'er to enter the palace tomorrow. You can't welcome the old lady at home, you go back to the old lady, I will post another post to invite the old lady."
The faces of Lin Zhixiao's family were full of smiles: "It is such an honor to be summoned by the empress. My aunt will definitely enter the palace. Even the old lady can only be happy for her."
Jia Min couldn't help but laugh when she heard the words, how could her mother not know?Even if the queen empress summoned her, she probably felt that she was trying to evade it.I don't care what others think of me, I just look at my children.
When did the old lady become someone else in his heart, Jia Min didn't have time to think about it, so he asked someone to reward Lin Zhixiao's family, so he asked someone to call Daiyu and talk to her about entering the palace.
Daiyu already knew about the marriage offer, although she was not one of those flirtatious and frivolous people, she was also a little shy.Hearing his mother's call, he brought the girl over and found out that tomorrow his mother and daughter will enter the palace to thank her.
Will we be able to meet the twelve princesses this time?This was the first question Daiyu thought of.Thinking that the twelve princesses are the daughters of the Supreme Emperor, they should not appear in the Queen's Palace, so they felt relieved. Hearing Jia Min talk about the rules of meeting in the palace, and looking at tomorrow's clothes together, I was still a little uneasy.
"Miss." Xueyan came in with a letter in her hand: "Young Master has delivered a letter, he must have told Miss about the affairs in the palace, now Miss doesn't have to worry."
Daiyu communicated with Shen Yue, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min turned a blind eye, and there was no need to hide in her own yard.Daiyu accepted the letter generously: "Brother Ai hasn't seen the queen a few times, so I'm afraid he doesn't know what the queen likes."
In Shen Yue's letter, he first told Daiyu her joy after getting the marriage decree, and then told her the blessings of the elders in her family, so that Daiyu didn't have to feel that it would be difficult to go out from now on, and she still had to walk when she should walk with her friends, and let Daiyu Yu doesn't have to be afraid of people's words, now that she has risen all boats, if someone hurts her, she can just go back.
Daiyu was also happy when she saw this: "What brother Ai said is too scary." I don't have many friends, but they are all simple-minded and clean at home, and no one has to be strong.
Later, Shen Yue really told Daiyu about the queen's preferences. The queen is the current wife, with a peaceful and fair personality, dignified and self-restraining, so Daiyu can just keep her nature.
At the end of the letter, Shen Yue wrote out the two lines of poems that he brought to Daiyu for Daiyu to read, in order to fear that the empress would be in the same heart as the current husband and wife, and she would not be able to answer if she asked if Daiyu could continue her poems.
Daiyu's originally nervous mood was calmed down by this letter, and she wanted to reply to Shen Yue's letter, but she couldn't say that she was equally happy when she picked up her pen several times, so she put down her pen silently, and said to Xueyan: "If someone returns Wait, just say I know, if you haven’t waited, it’s fine.” He stared at the two lines of the poem and became dazed.
Shen Yue has always been gentle, kind and considerate in Daiyu's heart.No matter what embarrassment or trouble, as long as he talks to Shen Yue, he will solve it for himself.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yue actually sent these two lines of poems, "I smile to the sky from the sword, and go to Kunlun to keep my heart and gall." I don't know what brother Ai was thinking about death at that time, and said such decisive words.These words are so soul-stirring, just saying them, I feel full of pride.
It turns out that brother Ai not only has tenderness, but also arrogance!Daiyu's fingers unconsciously scratched the two lines of the poem. At that time, Brother Ai, was he really afraid?Now she is a little uncertain.
Even though he was afraid, Brother Ai still didn't back down, and he still denounced the traitor!Such a brand-new Shen Yue made Daiyu feel a little differently moved.Every man has a hero's dream, and every girl's dream has a hero.Now that Shen Yue and the hero in Daiyu's dream are together, she is sincerely grateful for the gift of marriage for the two of them.
Daiyu's temperament is sincere, and she gave this gratitude to her current wife. The Empress Empress, who was talking to Jia Min, looked at the Empress with some hints.
The queen knew that Shen Yue was the son-in-law appointed by the Lin family, so she was somewhat curious about Daiyu.This time when I saw that it was indeed Zhong Lingyuxiu's girl, I felt a little fond of her again.Under this curiosity and affection, the queen can see Daiyu's words and deeds in her eyes, how can she not see Daiyu's closeness to her?
"Mrs. Linhou's daughter is a lucky one," the queen said with a smile to Jia Min, "There are many children from the aristocratic family in Beijing, but there is no second one who is as promising and strong as Master Xiao Shen."
When Jia Min heard the Queen's praise of Shen Yue, his face became even brighter: "I watched him grow up, and he is usually thoughtful, and he is also careful about the affairs of my house. I didn't expect him to be so tough this time, and he is also a saint." probation."
The queen said: "It's also Lin Hou who taught me well. When I met Mr. Xiao Shen that day, I thought he was a master of painting, and I didn't want to get the merit of escort. But I think Miss Lin is also a good one. She is neither humble nor aggressive at such a young age. With degrees, the two can be considered a good match."
Jia Min was still being modest, but when he heard the bell ringing loudly, the queen's expression changed.The eunuch in charge outside hastily came in: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is dead."
For a moment, everyone in Kunning Palace changed their colors, they all knew that the Supreme Emperor was just having a hard time, but when they got the news suddenly, people still couldn't believe it.The queen said to Jia Min's mother and daughter: "So you go back to the house and talk again when you cry."
After Jia Min left with Daiyu, the mother and daughter dared not talk to each other.It was only at the gate of the palace that Shen Yue was waiting there, silently sent Jia Min's mother and daughter to the car, and returned to the Lin Mansion without a word.
"Teacher's wife, the emperor passed away, I'm afraid that the wife and the teacher's wife will go to cry. It's not right that only Yu'er and Brother Kuan are left in the mansion." Shen Yue didn't care about the noise, and directly expressed his worries.
Ordinarily, Daiyu from the Shen family can't go, but brother Kuan can still go.Who told Grand Master Shen to be counting the days now?Once something unexpected happened, Brother Kuan would not feel comfortable staying in Shen's house.In fact, it's not that Daiyu and brother have nowhere to go. The General's Mansion is their natal family, so it's not difficult to entrust them to take care of them for two days.
But neither Jia Min nor Shen Yue thought it was a good idea to let them go to the General's Mansion, and no one suggested it.Daiyu said to Jia Min: "Ma'am, sister-in-law Lin Sheng thinks there is no need to cry."
Shen Yue's eyes brightened. He also knew that Lin Sheng was one of the Lin family who came to Beijing to apply for Enke. Later, he passed the examination of Shujishi. Therefore, Lin Ruhai has always been treated as a nephew.
Jia Min also thought it was a good idea. Lin Sheng was in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was busy with the matter of the Supreme Emperor, so he took Mrs. Lin Sheng to live in the mansion, and took care of both.
At this time, it was not the time to talk about politeness anymore, Jia Min said directly to Shen Yue: "Let your servant take your husband's post to Lin Sheng's house, if Lin Sheng is not at home, just ask his wife directly, and say that I ask her to take care of Yu." Brothers and sisters."
Shen Yue led the order to go out for a while and then turned back: "Now I have to go back to the department to obey the orders, does the teacher have something to bring to the husband?"
Jia Min shook her head, Daiyu sent Shen Yue out: "Brother Ai."
Shen Yue didn't know what she was calling him for, but when he looked at it, he saw the little girl turn her eyes away: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, but I didn't even think of any lines that could go with Brother Ai's two poems. Brother Ai, can you do it yourself?"
Shen Yue smiled at Daiyu's side face: "At that time, I was just in a hurry, and now I don't know how to do it. Even if the empress didn't ask today, she won't ask again in the future, and you don't have to worry about it." This is so exhausting.”
Daiyu raised her chin slightly: "But I just want to finish this poem. Or is brother Ai thinking about it when he has time?"
The goddess has a life, and she has to complete the task even when she cries.Shen Yue still has the foundation of the original work in his heart, and he is not afraid of accepting this encounter: "Okay, I will think about it when I have time. It's just that you two are in the mansion, don't think about those vain rituals, just send someone over if you have something to do." Report from the mansion. The mansion has already told the elder brother to leave, and the second master is also in Beijing, you know?"
Only then did Daiyu turn her face to Shen Yue: "Brother Ai, you have to be careful yourself."
Shen Yue didn't dare to touch her hair, so he gave her a reassuring smile: "The rebels have been cleaned up by the sage in the past few days, don't worry." He also wanted to tell Daiyu a few words, but Daiyu had already reached the second gate. It's easy to get out of the second door, and Yaoyao said to Shen Yue: "Don't be brave."
Shen Yue replied to her: "Don't think too much." The two looked at each other and smiled, turned around together without looking back.
Shen Yue came to the yamen of the household department in a hurry, but he didn't know where he should go - he hadn't been on business since he returned to Beijing, and he didn't know if the place had changed after his rank was promoted.
"Master Shen.
