[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

No one else knew what Shi Xiangyun was thinking in his heart, but her eldest maid, Cuilu, felt a little unhappy in her heart.

The master and servant were still talking about this when they went back two nights, "Girl, or else we should go home. Although we live a more comfortable life here, we are not at home after all."

Shi Xiangyun was a little annoyed, "It's a good thing you are still by my side. Others can see that I am uncomfortable at home, but you can't see it."

Speaking of this, I was a little annoyed, "It's not that you don't know what kind of life you live at home. You can make it to the second watch by doing needlework, and your hands are all pierced with needles. Whoever wants to do it, do it. I'm not going back."

"But... But life in Jia's family may not be good. We still have to write for Second Master Bao. If Second Master Bao proposes it himself, it's okay for the girl to help out for the sake of being a child. What is the girl who Xiren proposed is going to carry on the job."

Shi Xiangyun glared at her, "That's why she knows me. If I don't do anything... that would be bad."

The eldest maid had nothing to say, and the two went back to the yard, blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax, and slept until dawn.

Rongguo Mansion received a letter early in the morning.

Jia Lian sent someone back to say that his eldest son was born.Jia Amnesty was happy in his heart, but when he calmed down, he thought it was wrong, this grandson was born prematurely.

Hurry up and call the person who delivered the letter over, and ask why Duanduan was born prematurely.

"I don't know much about the minor things. I just heard that the second master has been busy in the yamen recently. When he returned to the backyard of the yamen, he was in a bad mood and smashed things several times..."

Knowing this, the old lady asked people to bring Wang Xifeng's mother and son back, scolding Jia Lian, "It must be this dirty seed who bullied girl Feng."

Not only did the Rongguo Mansion receive some, but the emperor also received the letter. This letter was much thicker than the one received by the Rongguo Mansion.

After reading the letter, the emperor handed it to Linlin, "I didn't expect your second aunt to have a big appetite, and she wanted to instruct your cousin to swallow the land in Baoding."

"Everyone in the Wang family is greedy. If it weren't for Wang Ren's involvement, my cousin's child would not have been born prematurely."

The emperor thought for a while, "Wang Ziteng can't stay anymore, let him go outside first, and deal with him slowly after leaving the capital."

After hearing this, Linlin pretended she didn't hear it, and read the letter again, the inside was quite thrilling.

"Speaking of which, my cousin-in-law is not too young, and she suffered such a big crime to give birth to such an only seedling, why don't we give her a generous gift?"

"We are all in-laws, and besides, there is still a relationship like yours. You can buy more. I will go ahead and order people to go around these places and see how many farms nearby are owned by those big households. In the hands of others."

Not long after the emperor left, Qilin came to find him in person.

"Mother, something happened."

Linlin sat up straight in fright, "What happened? What happened?"

"It's my grandfather who had an accident in Gusu, and the details are written in this letter." After speaking, she presented the letter to Linlin, who quickly took it over to read.

The mother and the son were sitting one by one and reading the letter. When there was no communication, Zou Wu came in from outside.

First, he saw the silence in the hall. At this time, he tiptoed behind Qilin, threw himself on Qilin, and covered Qilin's eyes, "Guess who I am?"

Qilin didn't have the mood to joke with him at this time, "Don't be a good boy, the queen mother is not happy at the moment."

Zou Wu hurried to Linlin's side, "What's the matter with you, Queen Mother? Who made you angry? You tell your son, he will beat them up to vent your anger."

Linlin put away the letter paper, "It's nothing serious, your grandfather said he has already left, and he will be back next month."

Zou Wu jumped up and down happily, "My aunt is coming back too. I have encountered bottlenecks in some places recently, and I want to ask my aunt for advice."

Qilin looked at Linlin's face, and quickly pulled his younger brother behind him, "Sit down honestly, you only have ears but no mouth at this time, remember."

After teaching Zou Wu, he whispered to Linlin, "Son has already sent someone to bring my grandfather back. We are using a big boat, so we don't have to wait until next month. Everyone can come back at the end of the month, but...the North King How do you deal with it?"

"This man is already crazy." Linlin stuffed the letter into the envelope and threw it on the seat next to her. Zou Wu looked at the envelope eagerly, stood up quietly, stooped, and took the envelope bit by bit. come over.

Linlin thought for a while, "Bei Wang is not young anymore, and it's time to give him a marriage. Whose girl do you think can be his concubine?"

"This... son really doesn't know."

Qilin has never paid attention to the girls of each family, and he doesn't even know how many girls are in which family, so he can't answer at this time.

Linlin asked him, "I heard that Wang Ziteng has a little daughter who is as precious as a pearl. The only bad thing is that their Wang family doesn't study... But speaking of it, the two of them are old friends, and this marriage is the icing on the cake. It’s a good thing to say.”

"You should discuss this matter with your father..."

Before Qilin finished speaking, Zou Wu suddenly called out, "You bastard! He actually spread rumors in Gusu that my aunt and him are destined to each other and they are in love with each other! Why didn't he say that he was destined to be with the old hen! "

Qilin sighed, stretched out his hand to cover his brother's mouth, and pulled him behind him, "Remember what I told you just now, you only brought your ears but no mouth this time, and you are allowed to grow a pair of eyes at this time. Read your letter carefully, and don't call again."

Zou Wu nodded quickly.

Qilin turned back and said to Linlin, "My son has one more important matter to ask his mother, so he wants to go to the south to take a look. If possible, my son is willing to lead an army to the south to suppress the bandits."

Of course Linlin is happy that her son has such ambition, but "it's too dangerous, I don't worry."

Qilin had already made up his mind, "My son wants to go and have a look. I haven't seen the splendor outside the imperial city all my life, so I don't deserve to be called a good prince."

Linlin waved her hand, "My mother can only be happy if you have such an idea, but this is different from when you go to Jiangnan. When you go to Jiangnan, you step on the ground, even if the weather is bad, it is just some wind, frost, snow and rain. But once you arrive On the sea, it is really changing rapidly, you have never seen the monstrous waves that are several feet high, and the ship is destroyed after hitting... Don't say any more, I will not let you out."

Qilin sighed.

There was some gloom between his brows.

Zou Wu held the letter paper and looked at his elder brother and then at his mother, and obediently shut his mouth, not daring to intervene this time.

When Bai Ze came back in the evening, Zou Wu pulled his second brother's clothes, leaned against his ear, and murmured what he had heard.

Finally, he asked Bai Ze, "You said we want to go to the south with my mother, will my mother agree or not?"

"I definitely don't agree, especially if you have soft ears and no knowledge. If you go out and are sold by others, you will still count the money for others."

Zou Wu murmured a few words unconvinced, the two brothers went to the main hall together, the food had already been set, and saw the father holding Xiezhi and talking to the elder brother with a smile, the elder brother was a little unhappy, there was no smile on his face.

Because there was no smile on Qilin's face, the meal was eaten quietly.

After eating, Qilin took Bai Ze and Zou Wu back together, and along the way, Bai Ze tried to tell some things that happened outside to make the elder brother laugh.

Helplessly, Qilin's frown became deeper and deeper, and when he was about to leave at the intersection, Qilin suddenly pulled Bai Ze back, "Brother, I want to go to the south. This idea is not a day or two. First, the power in the south cannot be ignored. If there is no People from our family went to take a look. I was worried for a long time. They didn't know who the master was, and it would be too late for them to regret it.

Second, Nan Wang has always been our confidant's serious problem, this battle is inevitable, we can seize the opportunity if we act early.

So it is imperative for me to go to the south, without delay. "

Zou Wu interjected, "Empress mother is worried about elder brother, otherwise elder brother don't go, younger brother will go for you."

Bai Ze kicked his brother's ass.

I wondered if this kid grew up in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. What is the place in the south? That is the power of the queen mother. It is a large army. The elder brother is the legitimate heir. It is in line with the patriarchal law to take over that place. What's the point of going there?Are you not afraid that someone will say that you have two hearts?

He also thought about quickly handing over the tricks of the monarch and minister to him, fearing that one day, with this kid's ability to kill, the elder brother couldn't help but slap him to death.

"Brother, I will teach him the rules when I get back."

Qilin sighed, "Brothers, why bother to pay attention to these things? We have the same mother, and I never thought of competing with you. This is what I want to tell you next. If my mother won't let me go there, then It's because the south is too dangerous. I don't understand this truth.

In front of natural disasters, even if a servant is loyal, even if he has a noble status, he will end up in the face of monstrous waves.So, if something happens to me..."

Qilin grabbed Bai Ze's hand and patted it, "It's up to you to honor your parents and take over the family."

Bai Ze's tears welled up in his eyes, "Brother, why should you say that? With my younger brother's background, he deserves the title of the first prince in the world. Even our father and emperor are all bastards in this generation. My younger brother is in the palace." According to the rules, it is acceptable for the second son to be the king of Qin, the king of Wei, and the king of Zhao. However, the younger brother was named the king of Wu, just to let the younger brother remember Wu Zha's past, and not to spy on the big man."

"I have absolutely no intention of suppressing my second brother. This sentence is sincere and sincere. I am not here to pretend to be tempting. You and I grew up together. Don't I know who you are? I solemnly entrust you. If I If you can’t come back, you will be the eldest son of your parents.”

"Elder brother, why should you say such ominous words? Eldest brother is the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future. If you die, you will turn evil into good luck."

"I would like to borrow your auspicious words, but I am not afraid of [-], just in case..."

"Eldest brother, you don't need to say any more. My younger brother didn't hear anything that my elder brother said today, and my younger brother didn't agree to what my elder brother entrusted. It's already late at night, please return to the East Palace, the prince."

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and took Zou Wu to stride away.

The two brothers first went to Zou Wu's palace. There were many wooden carvings of insects and birds in the bedroom. Bai Ze looked at the wall of Duobao Pavilion for a while, watching Zou Wu come out after taking a bath, and stretched out his hand to hold a piece of wood. Take down the palm-sized wooden cricket.

"Second brother, why hasn't he returned yet?"

"I have something to tell you, did you hear what elder brother said today?"

Zou Wu nodded, "I heard it all, why did the eldest brother say that, the eldest brother has guards, and none of us..."

Bai Ze's heart trembled when he heard that, and he stretched out his hand to break off the wooden carving's leg, "Next time, let me know that you still have such thoughts. I'm not breaking your cricket, I'm breaking your leg directly."

Zou Wu made a small face together, "Why are you being so fierce to me? You have been so fierce to me since you were a child."

"Because you have no brains since you were a child. If your elder brother really goes out, it's unpredictable. No matter how many guards you bring, it's just to save your life. But you are here to gossip that he has many guards, but you don't have any."

"I don't have gossip, you...you...if you really dare to break my leg, I will tell the queen mother."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the queen mother won't feel satisfied seeing me break your legs, so let me break your two arms. Why don't you understand, siblings, what are siblings? If you are missing siblings, your whole life will be broken." It's all missing."

Zou Wu's eyes filled with tears, "I know, I understand the truth, please tell me well, don't scare me at every turn."

Bai Ze threw the wood carving in his hand aside, "Okay, let's have a good talk tonight, brother, I won't go back today, so I'll leave you here."

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor and the crown prince went to the court as usual, and Bai Ze brought Zou Wu to greet Linlin.

The maid said that the empress was washing up, and the two brothers were sitting in the main hall, bored, when suddenly they saw the little brother Xiezhi running over, wearing a red and willow green robe and a festive tiger-head hat.

When Zou Wu saw it, his stomach hurt from laughing, "Silly brother, this is the hat you wore when you were full moon, why did you find it out and put it on again?"

"nice."

"You little fart, what do you know about whether it looks good or not?"

Bai Ze watched the two of them fight together, and he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with his elder brother yesterday. If there is a chance for his elder brother... the one who will become the crown prince will not be himself or Zou Wu, there is a very good chance that it will be him. Xiezhi.

It's like the sons born to Li Tang's eldest grandson Queen.The last one to get the cheapest is the youngest son.

Bai Ze sighed, if the eldest brother lived to be a hundred years old, none of these younger brothers would dare to have messy thoughts, and if the eldest brother had any accidents, it would be a bloodbath again.

Before Linlin arrived, she heard the chattering laughter of the two sons in the main hall.

When she sat in the right seat, the two young sons squeezed into her arms together, and Linlin hugged the two little guys from ear to ear happily.

After a while the emperor came back with the unicorn, and after serving breakfast, the emperor drove all his sons out.

"I have something to discuss with you."

"Look at the politeness of the emperor. If there is anything, you can decide what to do. You are the head of the family. What can you discuss with me, a woman?"

"If I don't discuss it with you, I'm afraid you will start a quarrel at that time... this morning before the court, our Qilin asked me to discuss something, I think what he said is right... Did he discuss it with you? "

"You also agree to let Qilin go to the south. I said no. The wind in the south is high and the waves are rough. Although there will be almost no typhoons this season, whoever can stop the wind when God wants."

"When the boy grows up, let him go out to see and see. And our son is right, even though this power is in our hands now, we are afraid that we will not be disciplined. After he comes back from there, send him to the north Take a walk, and he will know how big the country is when the south and the north are all gone."

"I have no objection to sending him to the north now."

The emperor put his arms around Linlin's shoulders, "Our son is not a little bird that can't grow up. You can't keep them around you all the time. Those who are brought up like this are not Mingjun, but a waste. Listen to me, let him go early Come back early, I think he will be back in the spring of the new year, and I heard that it is warm in the south at this time, and it will save him from the cold in the north."

In Linlin's heart, heaven and man are at war.

Seeing that he hesitated, the emperor couldn't help adding another fire, "Don't talk about danger, look at the danger everywhere in the world, you can choke to death when you drink water, you can choke to death when you eat, our son is blessed and fateful, the dynasty With luck on him, you can rest assured."

Linlin didn't believe in this illusory luck or blessing at first, but after living two lifetimes, she was filled with awe of certain mysterious things.

"Let him bring more people."

"Don't worry, he is our own son. I look forward to his birth with great anxiety. Bring him more people, all of whom are experts. If you give him the best boat, it will be safe."

But Linlin was still a little anxious.

The emperor felt that since it was decided that the matter should not be delayed, Qilin left in a hurry with this attitude.

Before leaving, she kowtowed to Linlin three times, and said a lot of words to ask her mother to take care of her. Linlin always felt a little ominous, and couldn't help but pull him, not wanting to let him go.

After Qilin broke free, he bid farewell to his brothers, and finally looked back at Bai Ze before leaving.

Qilin's departure made Linlin feel depressed all the time, and with Qilin's departure, no one took over this big mess, and it was all handed over to Linlin.

Linlin started to worry again, because she was usually busy, so she missed Qilin a lot.

After staring at it for a few days, Bai Ze was relieved to find that his mother didn't seem to be thinking about food and tea.

Went to Shuntian Mansion with the third prince again on a business trip.

Before reaching the gate of Shuntian Mansion, the two brothers were stopped by Wang Ren and others.

Wang Ren asked them carelessly, "Why haven't you two brothers come out these few days?"

Bai Ze chose to tell the truth, "My mother is in a bad mood these days, and I will honor her at home."

The third prince continued, "Although I am not in front of my mother, I am also honoring my mother in my heart."

Wang Ren laughed, thinking that you were raised by a little woman, so he just wanted to please his brother-in-law.

"That's all, for the sake of your filial piety, I will forgive you for not coming out to play a few days ago. How much money did you bring today?"

Bai Ze thought to himself that this guy really took his brothers for a fool.

Patted the purse on his body, "I didn't bring a tael of silver with me. I spent too much money a few days ago. My mother said that if I dare to spend money indiscriminately, I will directly break our legs. Even if they send the IOUs home It's also good to hit."

The third prince said from behind, "So, Mr. Wang, don't make things difficult for us. It's okay for us brothers to be beaten. When the time comes, if you want to find someone to play with you, you won't be able to find them."

Not only was Wang Ren a little angry, but he himself went around looking for these people to play with because he had no money.

When I played with Xue Pan back then, it was Xue Pan who settled accounts every time. Now that I met these two, I thought it was more generous than Xue Pan, but I didn't expect it to be two iron cocks.

Rolling his eyes, he thought of an idea, "Do you know that my sister was married to the Northern King and became a princess. Let's play together, especially you. If you are called Wangfei, you should be called aunt, shouldn't you be honored?" How about some money for makeup?"

The third prince rolled his eyes, "We are the younger generation, and the younger generation can't give gifts to the elders, but then we can go to the Northern Prince's Mansion to eat and drink for free based on our relationship."

Bai Ze took a step back and asked the guards to pull Wang Ren away, "Okay, wait a minute, let's go say hello to the son-in-law first. We'll come out when we're free, and let's play together."

Wang Ren stopped them with a deadpan face, "Don't, what can the son-in-law do to you, listen to me, I will show you to see and see."

"Know what?"

"The garden where my mother went to visit my relatives back then, based on my face, Uncle Guo would take us in."

"Uncle Guo?" Bai Ze and the third prince looked at each other.

Bai Ze thought to himself that it must be the eldest uncle.

The third prince knows that the uncle who is shouted in the street outside may not be a serious uncle. "Which family is it? The Lin family, the Dong family, the Hu family, the Liu family, the Jia family... which one is it?"

Wang Ren laughed, "The Lin family...Of course not. I heard that the Dong family's garden is not good, and the Hu family is stingy and the Liu family is old-fashioned. Naturally, the Jia family's garden is the best."

The third prince snorted coldly.

Wang Ren beckoned, "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you into their garden to take a good look."

The third prince was about to go forward, and Bai Ze pulled him, "Are you really going? You are their uncle, it's a trivial matter to come uninvited, and it would be ugly if you broke into the garden."

"Second brother, you are too pedantic, and he is just bragging. Whose garden can let you enter if you want."
