The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 244 Yuanchun Youxi Dadi Dips in and Pays Back His Vow
Two flowers, one on each table.

However, after receiving the news sent by the Xue family, the Mei family was silent at this time.

In the main hall, a gorgeously dressed woman has an unshakable expression, "Master, we are also a dignified Hanlin family, the most noble, but you recruit a woman from a merchant family to be the official wife of Brother Chao. How to say it?"

Sitting next to the woman was a middle-aged man with a long beard under his jaw.

He is the owner of the Mei family, who is called Mei Hanlin.

Hearing the woman's words, Mei Hanlin said: "Back when I went to Beijing to catch the exam, thanks to brother Xue's support, I am where I am today. Besides, I was able to take up the post before because of the money from the Xue family..."

"That won't work either!"

The woman spoke again and directly interrupted Mei Hanlin's words, "Your Majesty has appointed you to be transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion after the next year, and by then our family will be in Shenjing, and we will be among the best.

If Brother Chao is really asked to marry that merchant's daughter as his wife, if I go to another house as a guest in the future, won't I be laughed at by those wives?

This is absolutely impossible! "

"Women's view!"

Mei Hanlin glared at the woman, "Among the eight bloodlines of the Xue family, brothers Xue and his family are from the same mother. Think about it, whose concubine is the eldest daughter of the Xue family's first bloodline?" ?”

After the woman thought for a while, her eyes couldn't help but brighten up, "Is that Zhaowuhou Mansion?"

"That's right! It's him!"

Mei Hanlin twisted his beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "From the turmoil that happened a while ago, we can know how much Marquis Zhaowu spoiled that concubine, and when Brother Chao married the daughter of the Xue family, there will be troubles in the future." Find Zhaowuhou's mansion, Zhaowuhou can ignore it for the concubine's sake?!
Furthermore, if I have such a powerful relative behind me, it will definitely be much easier in Wenyuan Pavilion in the future!
In a few more years, I am afraid that even the position of a bachelor, I am expected to fight for it! "

"In that case, let Brother Chao marry!"

The woman clapped her hands and made up her mind, "Even if it doesn't work in the future, then let me, a mother, bear some bad reputation, find a reason to divorce her, and don't delay Brother Chao's remarriage!"

"..."

However, what Mei Hanlin and his wife didn't expect was that although the two of them had negotiated, something happened to Mei Jinchao!

"I disagree!"

Hearing that his family was about to fulfill the contract and marry the daughter of a merchant who had never met, Mei Jinchao immediately refused.

He said unhappily: "It's fine to marry a merchant's daughter, but if you want to marry me, at least you have to find someone who makes me happy! I don't even look at it right now, so I just settled down like this. In case the opposite person is an ugly monster, wouldn't you want me to be polite in front of all my classmates?!"

"This……"

Facing the resistance of their precious son, Mei Hanlin and his wife were a little helpless.

A beating?
What a joke, Mei Jinchao is their only son.

I can't wait to hold it in my hand every day
But such a small sapling grew crooked without knowing it.

Facing the anger of her precious son, the woman hurriedly comforted: "There is no rush, my mother will take care of you first, and that girl will definitely not be ugly..."

Even though his mother comforted him, Mei Jinchao was still furious from time to time.

"I'm going out to relax!"

After all, he shook his hand and turned his head to leave.

……

Shenjing, Jinyu Pavilion.

As soon as the gold wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless in the world.

Well, it's a less formal venue.

Commonly known as the brothel!
At this time, in the VIP compartment upstairs of this Jinyu Pavilion, a group of scholars were surrounding one of them, all of them laughed and said, "Brother Mei is coming home this time, doesn't it mean that the family has arranged a marriage? I don't know." Which family's daughter is it?"

The man in the middle was Mei Jinchao who came out from home.

Hearing the questions from many classmates, Mei Jinchao couldn't help but feel even more furious, and said coldly, "What kind of daughter?! She's just the daughter of a merchant!"

At this time, another person next to him laughed and said: "The daughter of a mere merchant can enter the door of your Mei family. It must be because the family is extremely rich, or she is very beautiful!"

The rest of them couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard the words, deeply agreeing with the man's words.

Mei Jinchao looked at the person who spoke, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Man, you and I have recently made friends, so you may not know that the merchant's daughter was a marriage arranged by my father back then. , I still don’t know it yet!”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

"That will definitely not work!"

The man's eyes widened, and he slapped the folding fan on the table, "A man is born, and to marry a wife is to marry a beautiful wife, otherwise he will make an ugly monster at home, everyone Don't you feel panicked?"

Everyone said "yes" in unison.

Mei Jinchao became more and more depressed when he heard this.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly comforted him and said, "Let's not talk about it. To comfort Brother Mei today, I will pay for all your expenses today! Everyone has fun, but there is one thing that must not be called Brother Mei, continue to be depressed!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Mei Jinchao is more and more pleasing to the eye of this newly acquainted friend.

After a lot of flowers before the moon, and after exploring the winding path.

Man San and Mei Jinchao hooked their shoulders together and helped each other out of the Jinyu Pavilion.

Mei Jinchao was drunk and said: "Brother Man, you invite me today, and I will still be here tomorrow, brother, I will definitely invite you once too!"

"Well, I'll wait for you here tomorrow!" Man San laughed.

"See you soon!"

………………

In the ninth year of Hongde, the sixteenth day of the first month.

The entire Rongguo Mansion was in a state of boiling.

But yesterday's Lantern Festival night, Yuan Chun in the palace felt uncomfortable after eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Chun vomited up and down in Fengzao Palace.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, but it was a sign of bad luck.

But the reaction was so intense, after careful diagnosis, it was concluded that he was undoubtedly the prince of Huai!
As soon as this remark came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Emperor Hongde, who was reviewing the memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, immediately threw the memorials in his hands away when he heard the news, and rushed to Fengzao Palace.

Compared with his own prince, the memorial?What is that!
In the Dragon Head Palace.

The Supreme Emperor accidentally dropped his favorite snuff bottle on the ground, and it broke into eight petals, but he didn't feel any distress in his heart, and he was just stunned on the dragon floor.

If Concubine Xian is really pregnant with a prince, wouldn't all the preparations and arrangements made by her family in the past be useless?
Not only that.

For example, if one of the imperial edicts to pass on the throne is not handled properly, it will cause a great shock to Da Zhou in the future.

Co-authored this from beginning to end, it was all my own fault!
The Supreme Emperor couldn't accept it for a while.

As soon as the news of Yuanchun's pregnancy in the palace came out, the ministers in the court, whether they were inclined to Emperor Hongde or neutral, couldn't help but rejoice.

The former is happy that their leader has successors, while the latter is happy that Da Zhou can avoid some turmoil.

As for today's Zhongshun Palace, it is dead silent.

Only half a day after getting the news, several court ladies and eunuchs were beaten to death by Prince Zhongshun Yang Ming.

The rest of the eunuchs and maids who were working were always worried no matter what they did, for fear that they would accidentally fall into the eyes of their princes and be "clicked" directly.

And Jia Mu and Jia Zheng and his wife were also passed into the palace immediately.

Jia Zhengguan was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and even Mrs. Wang got a fourth-rank body.

When Jiamu and others met with the concubine Xian, Yuan Chun even asked Jiamu that now that she was pregnant with the prince, she hoped that Jiamu could bring someone to go to Qingxu Temple to fulfill her vows as promised in the past. .

Mother Jia and others naturally agreed.

Later, after Jiamu returned, Emperor Hongde bestowed countless gold and silver objects one after another.

The entire Rongguo Mansion is already boiling!
