Shengpingle

Chapter 93 Lian's Daughter (Favorites and Updates)

Soon the time for autumn hunting came, and Emperor Zhenghe ordered that due to the Taishan earthquake this year, the green forests were rampant, so autumn hunting was avoided, and the reduced expenditure was used to maintain the palaces of Huanqiu, which won praises from the government and the public.

After the edict came out, Concubine Wen was diagnosed with pregnancy the next day. Emperor Zhenghe was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ordered Mrs. Wen to be the fourth-rank imperial wife, and the youngest brother of Concubine Wen's mother, the fifth-rank guard of the East Palace.

Although it is only a fifth-rank military position, for writers, it is a great favor and honor from merchants and scholars!
Concubine Wen was so happy that she couldn't stop crying, and Uncle Wen was so happy that he walked around the room. After a long while, he suddenly clapped his hands and ordered someone to send a box to Hua Pingle and Nianyu.

Hua Pingle opened the box, and saw a thick stack of silver bills with a golden collar on top of it, he couldn't help laughing, that Uncle Wen would really come.

Nian Yu opened the box and saw that there was a golden Ruyi pressed on a thick stack of silver notes inside, and he couldn't help but chuckle, the Wen family was really rich.

Concubine Wen gave him a bag of Nanzhu according to Hua Pingle's instructions. He said that he didn't like Nanzhu anymore, because he wanted to leave the palace to build a mansion to raise his son, so he asked for an extra 50 silver.

Unexpectedly, just as Concubine Wen was pregnant, the Wen family sent money again.

However, who would think too much money?
Especially what he wants to do needs a lot of money, a lot of——

Nian Yu lazily lay on the grand teacher's chair, took Jin Ruyi and tapped his palms one by one, one, two, three, four...

He counted to one hundred, and Xiao Laizi rushed in excitedly, "Palmprint, the imperial concubine has been depressed for the past few days, the imperial doctor went to ask for the pulse, and found a happy pulse! The emperor has already gone, please pass the palmprint quickly!"

Nian Yu raised the corners of his mouth, stood up and brushed his sleeves, "Let's go."

The imperial concubine Jiufang was throwing a temper tantrum, and then she said that even Xiao Mingqing was willing to give Zheng Hedi to a white half-old man, this little one would probably have a hard life to be born, it is better not to be born.

After a while, he said that Concubine Wen was pregnant, and Zhenghe Dien named her family brothers. She was a miserable person, without a family and no brothers. She wanted to be a queen for so many years but failed to do so. She gave all the gold and silver that she didn't want at all. What is jewelry for?

Emperor Zhenghe was afraid that she would hurt the child, so he could only comfort her softly. Seeing that Nianyu had arrived, he was relieved, and hurriedly said, "Nianyu, hurry up and persuade the imperial concubine, the child is not yet two months old, it is always like this." How about crying like that?"

Nian Yu respectfully stepped forward to ask for the pulse, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is old, and it is not easy to conceive. You must not be so willful and hurt the little prince. You will regret it in the future."

Concubine Jiufang was really nervous, she hurriedly stopped crying, "I got angry a lot in the past few days, can you quickly see if the baby is alright?"

Nian Yu covered his lips and coughed, using this movement, he quickly blinked at Chaozheng and Di, and then lowered his head to feel his pulse.

Zhenghe Diben was also aroused by his words, and couldn't help laughing when he saw his actions.

The imperial concubine has no natal family to show her kindness, Mancheng and brother Zhao are not good at giving too much rewards, which will make the East Palace unstable, but Nianyu is fine, Zuo is just an eunuch...

……

……

The noble concubine of Jiufang was pregnant, and all kinds of treasures flooded into the Changchun Palace. Emperor Zhenghe ordered a house in Zhengyangfang to be awarded to Nianyu, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to do its best to repair it.

Zhengyangfang is the closest to the imperial palace among the 24 squares in the capital, where high-ranking officials and nobles gather.

Huafu, Fuguang Wangfu, and Sufu are all located in Zhengyangfang. This is the first time in the history of the Great Xiao that eunuchs have entered the household.

Only the noble concubine of Jiufang is so holy, and now she is pregnant again, so no one would dare to look for bad luck at this juncture.

The house that Nian Yu was looking for before was no longer needed, and the new house was moved in as soon as it was repaired.

Nianyu is withdrawn and weird. Apart from being sarcastic, he seldom interacts with outsiders, let alone interacting with court officials. He is not prepared to entertain guests for the housewarming, so he only orders his staff to find a newborn twin for adoption.

As soon as the news came out, a group of people would fight for twins wherever there were twins, but Nianyu was very picky and never made a decision.

At the end of the year, many local officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report on their work, or returned to Beijing to visit relatives and find their way, and the capital immediately became lively.

Washington also began to prepare new year's goods. Princess Ninghe has now handed over all the housework to Hua Pingle, and she only occasionally mentions a few words.

These few sentences are also very limited, and most of them are similar to "Jiujiu, the dignity of the daughter's family is the most important thing, and your own clothes and jewelry should be taken care of, Angle and mine can be put in the back." Kind of crap.

After all, her granddaughter is so capable, and she only has these words to support her appearance.

Princess Ninghe thought that this was quite unpleasant, so she sent someone to Changping Hou's Mansion to deliver a letter, telling Aunt Hua to spare time to go shopping with Hua Pingle in the clothes and jewelry shop.

Aunt Hua also wanted to pick out some clothes and jewelry for herself and Sister Ling, so she found time to pick up Hua Pingle.

Song Xueyun also clamored to go when she saw it, and she couldn't refuse, so she took it with her.

Aunt Hua had a generous dowry, and she was very willing to buy things. Song Xueyun was happy with her purchases, but nothing happened. The women picked out a lot of clothes and fabrics in a harmonious atmosphere, and went to Langgan Pavilion.

Langgan Pavilion and Zhenbaozhai are both located in Hat Alley, so they were originally evenly matched, but after the warehouse explosion happened last year, the business of Zhenbaozhai has plummeted, and dignitaries hardly come to visit them anymore.

It is heard that the Wang family intends to sell the shop, but they have not been able to find a good buyer for a while.

As a result, the business of Langgan Pavilion became even more prosperous. As soon as I entered the door, I almost felt unable to settle down. I asked the waiter, and the private rooms on the second and third floors were also full.

Aunt Hua frowned, and wanted to get out, not wanting that Hua Pingle had already strode inside, Aunt Hua had no choice but to ask the maid to hold Sister Ling well, and followed in.

After she managed to squeeze close to Hua Pingle, she was talking to a woman in her early fifties.

The woman spoke Beijing dialect with a southern Hokkien accent, and at first glance she was a family member of an official who came to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of the year. There was a woman in her thirties standing behind her, who should be her daughter-in-law.

Aunt Hua didn't expect that Hua Pingle would take the initiative to talk to someone, so she couldn't help laughing, and when she got closer, she realized that it was Hua Pingle. Seeing that the pearl headband on the daughter-in-law's bun was very novel and beautiful, she came to ask where she bought it.

The old woman saw that Hua Pingle's clothes were expensive and the pearls on her hair were priceless, so she didn't dare to neglect her, so she hurriedly ordered her daughter-in-law to explain the reason.

The daughter-in-law also spoke with a southern Hokkien accent, and she was saying, "...it was originally a gift from my late brother. It was very fashionable in Fuzhou at the time, but it has become out of fashion in recent years. The girl has never seen it and thought it was novel."

Aunt Hua came forward to say hello with a smile, but the old woman knew her, and she was very pleasantly surprised, "So it's Mrs. Changping Hou Shizi!
The old lady had seen his wife from afar six years ago, and after so many years, his wife has not changed at all! "

Aunt Hua hurriedly said, "So the old lady knows me, please forgive my blindness, I don't know which family the old lady is from?"

The old woman was from the Xu family in Fuzhou, and her son had been sent out after he became a Jinshi. He went to Beijing six years ago to seek a position in Beijing, but he failed.

Having said that, Aunt Hua remembered that at that time the Xu family had asked for the Marquis of Changping, but was rejected by the Marquis of Changping.

As she thought about it, her eyes fell on the daughter-in-law involuntarily. She remembered that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family belonged to the Lian family. I applied for a job in Beijing, and even got my father, so I don’t think about it myself!"

The Lian family exterminated the three clans, but they couldn't punish the married women, so what good can the married women get?

Even the future of the husband-in-law will be implicated!

Aunt Hua also laughed and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Xu, disrespectful, it's a coincidence, my second sister is now promised to King Fuguang, maybe we can see each other often in the future."

Mrs. Xu was flattered to see her friendly attitude, exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and said that she would come to pay her respects some other day, and then she took her daughter-in-law and left.

On the way back, Aunt Hua told Hua Pingle about the past, and sighed, "The most important thing for a woman is her reputation, and if she makes a mistake, not only will she be troubled, but the whole family will be implicated.

It is said that the Lian family is the most favored youngest daughter in the family, and the dowry is so generous that even I would feel inferior.

Now when I go out, I have to wear jewelry that was fashionable more than 20 or [-] years ago, so I can imagine the situation at home.”

She was admonishing her younger sister in earnest, but it was more like admonishing herself, she must never make a mistake, bring trouble to her natal family, and bring trouble to her relatives!
Hua Pingle lowered his head to peel the pistachios for Sister Ling, and hummed obediently.

The pearl headband, which was fashionable and beautiful 20 years ago, represented the elder brother's heart and soul, is now outdated.

That naive and flamboyant pretty little girl once triumphantly raised her chin to show off the headband newly given to her by her brother, but now she has become a shriveled and haggard woman, standing obediently behind her mother-in-law, wearing what the world thinks is an essential hairband. Unhandled jewelry.

And the source of all this is Huo Ying's "mistakes"!
Ha ha!

……

……

Early the next morning, Anu took the box to Hua Pingle, grinning and said, "The concierge said that a boy stuffed it into his hand early in the morning, saying it was for you, a girl, without even a name." .

He doesn't want it, but that kid has long since disappeared, so he can only send it here, begging the girl for advice."

Hua Pingle opened it, and in the box, the pearl headband that had irritated her for a long time and was coaxed by Lian Yanqing for a long time lay quietly, reflecting the cold light in the winter sun.

Such a headband is beautiful and precious, suitable for adding luster to a little girl's innocence in front of a little girl's bun, but it is definitely not suitable for a married woman in her 30s.

Lian Xiqing is still wearing it, is it because her brother's love is the warmth that she will never forget after losing it?

Or because her family was broken and her brother died, she tried her best to keep this headband in the mountainous dowry?

The Lian Clan is not as thin as the Huo Clan. Where are those members of the Lian Clan who managed to escape the catastrophe, and how many of them are in the same miserable situation as Lian Xiqing?

Hua Pingle held the headband and stood quietly for a while, ordered Anu to send back the things as they were, added another phoenix hairpin, and sent a few words to Mrs. Xu, "Don't dare to be someone who is loved by others. villain".

But Anu brought back an apology from Mrs. Xu, saying that she accidentally offended the nobleman, and she would definitely ask the nobleman to kowtow to An Yunyun after the next year.

Hua Pingle ordered Anu to send the things back as they were, and there was no further trouble on the other side.

……

……

On the day of Xiaonian, Shen Qi entered the Nian Mansion with a pair of newborn twins on his back, begging to see Nian Yu.

Nian Yu was very surprised that Shen Qi actually found the capital, but still rejected him and the twins very politely.

Shen Qi didn't say much, put the twins down, took out the bliss pill that Xiao Laizi gave him back then, and swallowed it without hesitation.

Nian Yu looked at him like he was looking at a fool, and asked without shame, "Who told you that if you take the bliss pill, this seat will accept you as a disciple?"

Shen Qi said, "Xiao Laizi said that if I take the bliss pill, you will look at me more with the palm print.

As long as you look at me more, you will be able to see that I sincerely worship you as my teacher, and I definitely have the talent to study medicine, and I can endure hardships. I will definitely not embarrass you by worshiping you as my teacher! "

Nian Yu, "...you haven't heard of the name of Ji Le Wan? You should know that there is no antidote, right?"

"I know, but I also know that as long as you are willing to accept me with palm prints, the medical skills of palm prints can definitely save me!"

"What if I refuse to accept you?"

Shen Qi's tone was firm, "If I can't worship the palm print as my teacher and learn the most profound medical skills in this world, I will die as well."

Nian Yu looked at him with more pity. It turns out that the young master of the Xinglin family is really a bit out of his mind.

Out of sympathy for the young master, Nian Yu accepted the twins.

As time went on, he casually named his younger brother Xiaonian, and his elder brother Da Nian.

Then he threw a book to Shen Qi, and said with a bit of malice, "Here, find a way to save yourself, if you find it, I will accept you as a disciple, if you can't find it, then die! "

When Nian Yu said the last sentence, he was full of murderous intent, but Shen Qi only heard the words "Accept you as an apprentice", holding the book as if he had found a treasure, he even forgot to thank him, and forgot that Nian Yu was still there. Can't wait to open that book.

Nian Yu glanced at him and ordered someone to tidy up a place for him.

There are not many things in his mansion this year, but there are many houses, and a hundred more Shen Qi can live there.

Nian Zhangyin adopted two sons, which was a big deal. There were people everywhere in Beijing trying to curry favor with him for various reasons. Many people tentatively talked about throwing wine to celebrate.

Nian Yu categorically refused, and even the twins were not allowed to see each other. Except for the addition of two newborns and an idiot who devoted himself to studying medicine in the huge Nian Mansion, this incident passed without causing any waves.

……

……

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Zhenghe ordered Xiao Mingshi to go to Lishan to bring the Queen Mother and Wang Miaoer back to the palace in person.

The New Year is coming soon, and on the second day of the new year, Hua Pingle still followed Princess Ninghe into the palace for a banquet. In the Palace of Compassion, she saw Wang Miaoer who was dressed in a blue Taoist robe and was accompanying the Queen Mother.

Wang Miao'er lost a lot of weight, but she didn't look more beautiful when she lost weight as she had expected before. On the contrary, her original dignified and peaceful temperament became sharp and sharp. Taoist robes seemed a little ridiculous and pitiful for no reason.
