Chapter 11
Siqing had a dream and woke up feeling in a trance and in a state of confusion.Shaking her head, her whole body trembled, only then did she remember that she is not an unwaived girl in the Ye Mansion, she has long been a concubine of the royal family.
In the fall of Xining 13 years, she was tricked by her father and brother back to the Ye family, and Xining entered Ninghua Palace as a concubine in 14 years.
In the autumn of 13th year in Xining, Concubine Ding'an of Yining Palace said she recognized her as a righteous daughter, and it wasn't long before she called her third elder brother, the cold and kind current sage sitting on the altar in front of her became her Husband-in-law.
She always felt that she was not used to it. The day before, the current sage, who was so ethereal and unrecognizable from the heights, was still advising her to leave Beijing quickly and not to go into the muddy waters of the imperial capital. The next moment, he would follow the Empress Dowager's order Willing to accept her as the assistant room and call her into the palace.
Of course, Siqing is not the only one who is not used to the change of status, there is also Jinshang Xiao Yi.Xiao Yi also felt awkward when the brothers and sisters turned their heads and turned into emperors and concubines.
Xiao Yi ascended the throne at a young age, and has been living in the shadow of the Empress Dowager ever since.His Empress He of the Yuan Dynasty and the only second concubine in the palace were all arranged by the Empress Dowager. Now that he is in charge, the Empress Dowager still has to dictate how to make his righteous sister his concubine.
Deep down in his heart, it was really difficult for him to accept the "good intentions" of the Empress Dowager, but he couldn't escape the mercy of the Empress Dowager.
In the spring of Xining's 14th year, the two awkward Xiao Yisiqing successfully reached a contract in order to express their intention to rebel against the Empress Dowager.
The two will work hand in hand and help each other in the same boat, and together they will perform well in front of outsiders the drama of "the king is holy and the concubine is virtuous, self-restraint and return to ritual", and in front of the empress dowager, they will sing the double reed song "Actually we don't know each other well at all".
Xiao Yi told the Empress Dowager that he was not interested in the deputy room arranged by the Empress Dowager, and Siqing told the Empress Dowager that it was all right, and Xiao Yi ignored her and she couldn't help it.
The ideal of having separate lives and not interfering with each other is very fulfilling, but in reality, unexpected challenges have been encountered.Xiao Yisiqing and Xiao Yisiqing's drama became more and more tacit, and the more tacit, the less real, and the less real, the more tacit, as if caught in some kind of unbreakable cycle.
Xiao Yi, who looks like beautiful jade and like solid ice, begins to melt gradually, leaving only Siqing still scrupulously adhering to the contract they signed before.
Siqing has an inexplicable fear of the huge Miyagi. Although Jinshang treats her as gentle as a family member, and although the two often have a sense of speculation beyond their status, Siqing still dare not admire him.
Siqing and Empress Xianhe had never met before, and for a long time after entering the palace, Siqing always inexplicably dreamed of Empress Xianhe whose cause of death was unknown, and then she was frightened awake in the dream.Before she could gain a foothold in the palace, she could not be moved by any warmth.
Siqing Xining wants to gain a foothold after entering the palace in 14 years, the first thing she has to face is the empress dowager who has a lot of power and is uncertain.
Siqing calculated everything indifferently, knowing that her offspring were the foundation for her to gain a foothold, so Siqing was born at the same time as her second son Xiao Ru and Xiao Huan at the end of 15 years in Xining.Xiao Yi thought that he moved Si Qing like a warm sun, and Si Qing thought that Xiao Yi understood her situation, so she got Xiao Yi's acquiescence to expand the contract without authorization.
Unfortunately, when the twins were born, the Empress Dowager had already died of illness.
Because Siqing felt that giving birth to her second son was to accomplish a task that would benefit her, she was not close to the second son.Compared with continuing to live in the palace, family affection and love are nothing to Yu Siqing.However, these two sons did help Siqing gain a foothold. After 15 years in Xining, she was promoted successively to imperial concubine and imperial concubine.
Since Xining returned to Beijing in 13 years, everything has been like a dream. Before the dream started, she was still a peasant girl picking lotus and weeding rice in the Jiangnan countryside. After waking up from the dream, she became a palace family member in Ninghua Palace with beautiful makeup and costumes.
Outsiders lamented that she had a good life, and she was only aware of the cold and warm.
She also has her ambition, since she entered the palace, she will become the queen of the palace.
It's a pity that his father Ye Xiufeng retained his position as a cabinet minister and made many enemies.Ye Xiufeng's political opponents were the first to refuse Siqing's wish to become queen.Except for the courtiers who confronted Ye Xiufeng tit for tat in the court who did not agree, the kings who respected Kang'an and others who were originally displeased with Ye Xiufeng's Qingliu also did not agree.
It's a long story. Siqing grew up in the countryside since she was a child. After her adoptive father Fu Linchuan was implicated in a criminal case and changed his name and surname to steal his life, the whole family moved to the depths of the poor mountains.
Since Emperor Wuzong of this dynasty began to prohibit the clan kings from becoming feudal vassals, except for the Dingnan vassal king who guards the southwest, all the zong kings are not vassals in the imperial capital.They themselves are not feudal vassals, but their local vassal fields have been expanding.Siqing grew up in a place where there were seven mountains, two rivers and one field, and she couldn't get used to her clan's powerful slaves encroaching on the fields.
When Siqing was still in the imperial concubine position, many emperors wrote letters saying that they were poor and wanted to continue to expand the domain.Xiao Yi wanted to cut off the only king of Dingnan County who was in the vassal and let him return to Beijing with the crowd, but the kings disagreed.In the evening, Siqing and Jinshang drank in Maode Hall, and the two were very drunk. Siqing wrote on the cover of every booklet that Zongwang wrote that he wanted to expand the domain. Gao Shi's "Fengqiu Zuo" is even more fragrant with the word "fart".
Probably because of the eyeliner of the emperors in the Maode Palace, things spread like wildfire, and Siqing was scolded by the court for pre-government.This kind of thing of lifting a stone to shoot her own feet made Siqing almost fail to be the imperial concubine. Since then, all the princes have opposed Ye's daughter's entry into the palace with both hands and feet.
Although Siqing has shrunk her head since then, wishing she could turn into glutinous rice balls covered with soybean flour that won't stick anywhere.But her cheap old son Ye Xiufeng didn't intend to let her go, and kept making trouble for her.
Today's nightmare made her feel down. She had a premonition that Ye Xiufeng, her cheap old man who fell from the sky, was going to make trouble for her again.
Sure enough, her dowry maid, Ling Zhen, came in, called "Ma'am", looked around, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, something happened in Fuzhou. Later, I heard that not only is there a shortage of livelihood supplies, but also the army owes too much money, and the garrison may mutiny, and I'm afraid something big will happen."
Siqing was so depressed that she wished she could let out a scream.
She once swore that she would never pay attention to the Ye family after entering the palace, but things backfired. In the past three years, what Siqing did the most was to secretly deal with the aftermath of the Ye family, because the Ye family was her mother's family, and they depended on each other.
In order to live a better life for herself, Siqing had no choice but to greet her cheap old man one by one, and at the same time racked her brains to deal with the aftermath of her cheap old man in order to maintain the prestige of her mother clan.
But she understands that she can't scream, and now any disturbance will become a talking point.She restrained herself firmly, and slapped on the table with her palm.
"Young lady, your hands hurt!" Ling Zhen said.
Siqing gritted her teeth and said, "One last time." She never wanted to deal with the aftermath of her cheap father.
"You say it the last time every time."
"I swear it's the last time."
Lingzhen sighed: "Okay, you said this is the last time, it's the last time."
Siqing sat up and leaned against Lingzhen: "It's been more than three years, it's been more than three years, the empress dowager's funeral has passed, how many people are watching my jokes behind my back? Huh? Say, I made it for that old man Is there still less to do? Why doesn't the old man think about it for me now?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the empress came first and Siqing entered the palace later, which seems to be a good relationship with the present.Siqing became pregnant shortly after entering the palace, and was promoted to imperial concubine and imperial concubine.However, now that the empress dowager's filial piety period has expired, she is still an imperial concubine, and there is no sign of entering the central palace at all.
She came back from He Ningpin's ceremony today, and she was so tired that she fell asleep in a nightmare.This Concubine He Ning is the younger sister of the former Empress and the aunt of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. The Uncle of the Empress He Shizhi and Ye Xiufeng have always been at odds. .
Siqing got up, changed her clothes and put on her makeup, and said to Lingzhen: "Go and spread a message, tell the people in the mansion, tell the old man to weigh himself before doing something!"
Lingzhen had other thoughts: "Tell me, could it be that the third and fourth bedrooms did it in the name of the master? The master has always been cautious in doing things, and he would not leave such a big handle outside. Maybe, who is it?" Grandpa asked us to do it with three and four bedrooms in our house."
The late empress's uncle, He Shizhi, was at odds with Ye Xiufeng, and also had secret motives to punish Ye Xiufeng. Lingzhen's speculation made sense.
Si Qing thought for a while and said, "Even if it's the ghost of the third and fourth house, who closed the door with the surname Ye, now they can't be separated from the big house."
When Siqing thought that she had to help her cheap old man clean up the dirt, and also had to guard against being scolded by others for pre-government, Siqing felt agitated for no reason, so she said again: "Write to Ye Lancheng and ask him to come back to Beijing after his term of office is over. Family separation in the mansion! The Ye family's affairs were originally his business, I don't want to take care of them anymore. If we don't separate the families, big trouble will happen sooner or later!"
Ling Zhen grew up in the Ye Mansion since she was a child, and she knows the basics of the Ye family's affairs: "The old man is no better than the old man, he is worthless, if he comes back to Beijing, he will eat his bones. Besides, let him be a foreigner. It's the meaning of my uncle, the face of Duke Jia's mansion, I can't help it."
Si Qing looked on coldly, although Shen Jiangdong got on well with his brother-in-law these years, he looked down on Ye Xiufeng, his in-laws.It was this brother-in-law's idea that Ye Lancheng let go of his post.One is for the sake of Ye Lancheng's future, and the other is that he dislikes that the Ye family has no separation, and is afraid that Shen Huanhua will be wronged if he lives in Yefu, the capital, to take care of a large family.
Siqing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You're reminding me that Jiaguo's mansion has a lot of face. Since I can reach into Ye's mansion, I have to annoy Uncle Shen to be a villain. Let's see what happens this time. Three bedrooms and four bedrooms are related, so why not pull out the Duke Jia's mansion to separate the family. After the family is separated, everyone will be clean."
Siqing led the palace staff from Ninghua Hall to Maode Hall to meet Jinshang, when he turned the long street, he suddenly saw something, so he grabbed Ling Zhen who was beside him and hid behind the wall.
Ling Zhen wondered: "What's wrong?"
Siqing let out a "hush".
Lingzhen didn't listen to Siqing, she poked her head around, and saw that it was Concubine Ning He wearing a peach red gown and crimson woven gold skirt, leading the palace people passing by.
"What are you doing hiding from her?" Lingzhen asked.
Seeing that Concubine Ning had gone far away, Si Qing walked back to the long street, and said calmly: "We have to deal with it when we meet, don't you feel disturbed when you hear her say that she is neither yin nor yang or yin and yang?"
"That's no reason for you to hide from her..."
"If I don't hide from her, can she hide from me? Let's go, there's no need to argue about this."
When they arrived at Maode Hall, Siqing ordered the accompanying palace guards to wait outside the hall and go in alone.Ling Zhen, who was holding a food box and soup at the back, froze for a moment, and was about to call Si Qing, but Si Qing had already entered the hall.
Siqing walked around the marble screen and saw Xiao Yi sitting on the short couch under the west window looking up at the sunset.
Seeing the many attendants in the hall, Si Qing saluted like a ceremonial: "Your Majesty, safe and sound."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Why are there so many courtesies today? I have already memorized the soup song, what are you going to say?" Just as he was about to order his attendants to step down, Siqing suddenly bowed down, "I have something to ask Your Majesty Confused."
Seeing her seriousness, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, Siqing had already said to herself: "The case of Fuzhou in the imperial court has been raging, and I heard that this matter is actually involved with my mother's family..."
Siqing seldom speaks out on political affairs in front of people, Xiao Yi was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Siqing, but Siqing winked at him quietly.
Xiao Yi froze for a moment, Siqing covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed deliberately.
"The imperial concubine has more and more things to worry about," Xiao Yi understood, and said lightly, "Don't ask too much about the matters of the previous dynasty."
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, this matter is raging, and this concubine can't sleep and eat, so..."
A teacup shattered at the sound, and all the attendants fell to the ground one after another, not daring to make a sound, only Xiao Yi said coldly: "Go out."
Siqing didn't see the slightest panic, raised her hand to increase her quota, kowtowed and said: "I will leave."
Siqing walked lightly out of the inner hall, Ling Zhen came up to her, still holding the food box, and said with a pale face, "Young lady, why did you ask so bluntly? Your Majesty, why..."
But Siqing laughed: "Once the third brother has a fit, let's see if the old man dares to come and beg me for his success?" After speaking, he opened the lid of the food box, picked up a bowl of soup, drank it all, turned and left.
"I thought I was going to present it to His Majesty, and the emotion is so far away, it's for you to drink." Ling Zhen chased after her and chattered.
The Xiaoxiao autumn rain stopped, and the cool wind suddenly picked up, adding to the sadness.The cold tone of the silver character Sheng is long, and the water pattern is cold and the screen is cool.I don't know which palace's people blew the sheng, and the sound of the sheng spread to Ninghua Palace where Siqing lived.Through the screen, Siqing ordered the guards at night: "It's getting cold, take down the bamboo mats and stone pillows. Go down too, there is no need to keep watch."
The bead curtains are engraved, the incense smoke curls up from the incense burner, and the house is full of incense.The night was deep, and the shadow of the waning moon in the half-window was projected on the dressing table, as if a thin layer of dust had formed.The rain suddenly swished down again.The flying corners of the eaves throw down the rainwater collected between the tiles, and the sound of the water drips, which lasts all night.
There was a dead silence in Ninghua Palace, and the palace people were already fast asleep.The night was long, but Siqing couldn't sleep.She suddenly smiled coolly, and whispered to the direction of the dark door: "Since the third brother is here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Are you still angry with me? Why don't you go to bed so late?"
There is always a strange relationship between them, seemingly intimate, but not intimate at the same time.She is like a subject, like a close friend, but she is not like his concubine.
Xiao Yi treats people with kindness and elegance, but the coldness of alienation persists in his body.He rarely called "Zhen" in front of Siqing, and Siqing did not call him a minister or concubine in front of him.
Before the death of the Empress Dowager at the end of 14 and the beginning of 15, the two of them kept pretending that "we were not familiar with each other".After the death of the Empress Dowager, the two began to talk about everything. Xiao Yi liked to tell her about the previous court, and often closed the door to block the etiquette. The attendants of Ninghua Palace were not surprised.
In the eyes of outsiders, Siqing has been in the palace for more than three years, and she originally had a good relationship with Jinshang.Moreover, every time after coming to the court, he often discusses gains and losses with Siqing, and if he has something to lose, he then remonstrates and promotes his benefits. It is very rare for him to be so angry with Siqing today.
Xiao Yi wore a blue crane cloak tonight, everyone said that she is as beautiful as jade, although Xiao Yi is not the most handsome, but his skin is as white as jade, and it looks more gentle under the shadow of the lamp.Si Qing recalled getting drunk after the banquet, and she told him that in the fall of Xining 13 years, Shen Huanhua persuaded her to escape from the imperial capital, but she did not leave, and chose to enter the palace.She asked him if he knew why she did this, and he lisp: "Because you covet my beauty."
At that time, Siqing thought to herself that there are such narcissistic people in the world?Don't say that she is greedy for his emperor's position, but that she covets his beauty.
Sometimes Siqing would also wonder whether she was greedy for his beauty?It's against my will to say nothing at all.However, Siqing has always believed that since she was forced to enter the palace, she should not aim to find a lifelong bosom lover.Because if you want to live better in the palace, you must be restrained and calm enough.
Thinking of this, Siqing said: "Why would I be angry with you? I would like to thank the third brother for playing a good show today. My cheap old man will not dare to bother me for at least half a year. I really want to ask today, Fuzhou...... What's the matter? Is it something that my cheap old man fished out?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said softly: "The matter in Fuzhou this time is not that simple. Someone is investigating, so we have to wait."
Si Qing said: "Still waiting? These days, I have felt that people's hearts are floating. Everyone who sees me will look at me more meaningfully."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "You are in this position, it will inevitably attract people's attention, why should you bother. This matter has to wait until Yuanxi gets married, and it will probably have a result."
"What does the matter in Fuzhou have to do with Shen Yuanxi's marriage?" Si Qing asked, what did she realize, "He is finally getting married?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
Shen Jiangdong has never married because of the strange affairs of the imperial capital.
Shen Huanhua once told Siqing that when Shen Jiangdong was young, the old Jia Guogong ordered him a marriage. In recent years, due to national funerals and other events, the marriage of the two families has been delayed again and again.
"Yuanxi's new wife, Ding Youqian, was the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She happened to be from Fuzhou and returned to Fuzhou Ding You, so she is investigating the affairs of Fuzhou. Before she gets married, she must return to Beijing to deliver the errand, so wait for Yuan Get married in the west, and the matter of Fuzhou is fine." Xiao Yi said slowly, "But the matter of Fuzhou is really not quite right, maybe it really has nothing to do with Ye Xiufeng, and I don't know."
"Where there is no wind, there are no waves," Siqing said, "I know the virtues of my cheap old man."
"for example……"
"For example, the third room wants the younger sister of the third room to be the housemate of the ninth child, and the wife of the fourth room wants the younger sister of the fourth room to be the child of Duke Jia. This is what a family is." Siqing angrily took the bracelet she was playing with Throwing it on the couch, "I won't take care of my mother's business in the future."
Xiao Yi listened with a smile: "Don't talk about this. You said that Yuanxi got married, and the fifth child came back to Beijing?"
The Ye Mansion has been very lifeless lately. First, Ye Xiufeng, the pillar of the Ye family, was involved in the Fuzhou case, and was stabbed in the back; then, the Empress Dowager had completed her filial piety for three years, but the eldest daughter of the Ye family was still an imperial concubine, and had not been admitted to the lord for a long time. Gong Gong became the new queen, and there was a sign of falling out of favor.These two incidents made Ye Fu unable to breathe, and even the dog stopped barking a few times.
The third wife who was in charge of the family in the Ye mansion suspected that the Ye family was a villain, and she burned incense and worshiped Buddha everywhere. When she heard that her in-law, Grandpa Jiaguo, was finally getting married, she quickly recited "Amitabha Buddha" and said to the third master: "Uncle, please hurry up to get married, and be very happy. That's fine too!"
The third master picked his teeth and sneered: "Shen's family is married, not Ye's. What kind of joy are you going to make us happy? If our family wants a happy event, we have to let our phoenix fly out."
The third wife understood after hearing this: "It is said that the Empress Dowager is full of filial piety, and the eldest girl of our family should also have the position of the middle palace. This is what the Empress Dowager agreed to... Why is there no movement. But then again, brother In my dreams, I hope that our family will fly out of the golden phoenix. But I watched it coldly, the eldest girl has never paid attention to the elder brother, I am afraid that this phoenix will fly far away!"
The third master was still hungover, and he opened his mouth and said: "Daughters are losers. Although you are confused, you are right. Since when did the imperial concubine pay attention to the Ye family? I want Lan Zhi and King Xiaojing, Don't ask for position! Sifang wants to tell Lan Rui's niece to be a minor to Duke Jia. The imperial concubine won't take care of such a trivial matter. It's fine for the imperial concubine to ignore it. If you don't let Lan Cheng's wife take care of it, you say it's what's up!"
"Damn," the third wife scolded, "You brothers are addicted to selling your daughters, right?"
Lan Zhi was born by the third master's concubine, and the third wife had no children, so she couldn't talk, so she bypassed Lan Zhi and continued: "The fourth wife doesn't look at her own face! The fourth sibling bullying Lan Rui was not born by her, she Would she be willing to give her own niece Lan Xuan as a child? Give it back to Lord Jia, I heard that Lord Jia only had one concubine, and he was rewarded by the first empress dowager. Mrs. Tou hasn't married yet, so I can put a team of people in the room first? Besides, what's the matter with Lan Cheng's wife? Which girl have you seen all over the world to marry a concubine for her brother Zhang Luo? Four rooms are shameless, people Lan Cheng's wife wants more."
"You are looking for Lan Cheng's wife, but you don't want to think about it. When did the big house's nephew and niece give you a good look? The eldest niece entered the palace and became a concubine. She never saw you, and you still talked to Lan Cheng and his wife. When the family is divided, see if Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law will give up her share of the family property and let you take care of it." The more the third master said, the more he talked.
The third wife was not annoyed: "The eldest aunt is not from this house. She never said a word to me. After becoming a concubine, it is reasonable to wish to dump you, a third-bedroom uncle who only knows how to whore and gamble. As for Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law , she is an upright young lady of Duke Jia's mansion, and her dowry is bigger than your family property, so would she care about the little money from the family split?"
"Shut up! Eat what's inside and out!" The third master was poked in the sore spot, coupled with the strength of alcohol, suddenly changed color and became angry.
The third wife refused to let go: "I can't keep my mouth open! Just rely on you, and still divide the family? Divide the family, don't rely on the eldest brother, can you really stand up? Who knows who eats the inside and outside, and the aunt who touches the fourth room still counts on the fourth room siblings Let me cover you, the mansion is so rotten that I came here to fight you!"
The husband and wife quarreled more and more fiercely, and the maid at the door suddenly called out loudly: "Third Master, Third Wife, the Master is here!"
Ye Xiufeng came to the third wife to talk about giving Shen Jiangdong a marriage gift, but he didn't expect to encounter a quarrel between the husband and wife, so he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. challenge."
The third wife said: "There are old rules, brother, don't worry."
Ye Xiufeng said: "Lan Cheng has something to do, and Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law came back to Beijing from the south. Their house has been locked all the time. I'm afraid Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law won't be able to live there..."
"I can save it, so I'll ask someone to clean it." The third master spoke courteously while sending Ye Xiufeng out. Ye Xiufeng had something to do and left in a hurry.
Here, the third wife hastily cleaned out the yard where Ye Lancheng and his wife used to live. Unexpectedly, Shen Huanhua came back to Beijing by himself, so he went back to Ye's mansion and ordered a seat, and then turned to live in his natal Jiaguo mansion.
"Mr. Jiaguo's family is not low, and the daughters he taught are like this? When they come back to Beijing, they don't go back to the mansion, and they live back to their mother's house in a big way? They didn't get along with each other!" The fourth wife and the third wife complained.
Unexpectedly, the fourth master heard it from behind, and jumped out of his pocket, pointed at the fourth wife and scolded: "Quickly clamp your mouth and get out of here! The lady of Jia Guogong's mansion, she has such a good family, married into our house, Well done, what nonsense are you talking about with your red mouth and white teeth!"
The fourth wife jumped up: "You are used to pretending to be a Bodhisattva! The eldest lady of the Jiaguo Mansion is not willing to tell Lanrui to her brother as a child, what are you talking about? How dare you say it again in front of the third sister-in-law!"
The four rooms spared no effort to tear each other down, the third wife only hated herself for having an extra pair of ears, and said hastily: "Fourth uncle has something to do, let's go get busy."
"He's got something to do? Either he's going to play an opera or he's on his way!" The fourth wife was unwilling to let go, but fortunately the fourth master was sensible, ignored the fourth wife, turned his head and nodded with the third wife, and left.
The third wife said: "Four brothers and sisters, it's not that I'm the sister-in-law who talks about you, Lan Rui's niece, it's that Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law agrees, and the eldest brother will definitely not. You think, our family is now in-laws with the Duke of Jia's mansion, Lan Rui It's Lan Cheng's sister-in-law. Lan Cheng's upright sister-in-law is a concubine for the uncle. How do you ask Lan Cheng to wipe his face in Jiaguo's mansion? How do you ask outsiders to think of big brother? Big girl suffers, big brother Can you eat it on Lan Rui's niece again? You can't annoy Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law just because of this."
Sifang hotly gave Shen Jiangdong's own daughter who was born in a prime minister's mansion as a concubine, and rushed to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to be a matchmaker.If it did, Ye Xiufeng's face in court would be lost.
"How dare I annoy Lan Cheng's wife?"
"You are speaking out of anger. The old Jia Guogong and his wife passed away a long time ago, and Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law worked in her natal family when she was not out of the cabinet. Now, the concubine rewarded by the empress dowager by Jia Guogong's side is gone, and there is no one in charge in the mansion. I'm in a hurry to have a wedding, our two houses are far away, it's okay for Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law to live in her mother's house and take care of things."
Speaking of the new wife of Duke Jia's mansion, the fourth wife became excited: "I heard that the new wife of Duke Jia's family background is very low, what a baby girl, she hasn't moved for so many years, seeing that the marriage is going to be serious, who would have thought that she would be excited?" , got up again."
The third wife said: "Why is there no movement? Didn't the empress dowager want to tell Duke Jia the righteous daughter of the former emperor and the first empress dowager, the niece of the former empress dowager, the defeated Lord of Jingguo's mansion, Shangyang Princess?" As the head wife, Jia Guogong returned the marriage contract in the past. Also, you only know one thing, not just the other. I heard that Jia Guogong's new wife is a talented person, even though she is The woman has been an official of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment. Although she is not a big official, she is rare in this dynasty. Although she has been engaged to her uncle since she was young, she has always kept a low profile. Before the ceremony, the whole court did not know The new wife's marriage was delayed because of her mother's death."
"I have been an official, and I want to get married. No matter how smart I am, it's fine if I don't have a good family background. I'm getting married soon, and I haven't come back to Beijing yet. Where can there be such a daughter-in-law in an aristocratic family?" Fourth Wife With a sour face.
"Where did you save the power of it!" The third wife has always been careful, "Do you know where this new lady returned to Ding You?"
"I heard it's north..."
"It's Fuzhou!" The third wife lowered her voice and continued, "It's the Fuzhou that implicated the eldest brother in the accident! Besides Ding Youqian, this new lady is the head of the criminal department, God knows what she knows."
The Fourth Wife was stunned: "No wonder Eldest Brother cares so much about Duke Jia's marriage."
Feng Qiuzuo
I was originally a fisherman and woodcutter Meng Zhuye, and I have been a leisurely person all my life.
At first glance, I can sing wildly in the grass, but I would rather be an official in the dust?
It is only said that Xiaoyi does nothing, and everything in the public house is expected.
It is heartbreaking to greet the chief, and it is sad to whip Li Shu.
When I came back, I asked my wife at home, and the whole family laughed like this.
Things should be done in the south of the field, and the world's feelings will go to the east.
I dream that the old mountain is safe and sound, and I will return late for the title of king.
Knowing that Mei Futu is you, I recall Tao Qian's return.
(End of this chapter)
Siqing had a dream and woke up feeling in a trance and in a state of confusion.Shaking her head, her whole body trembled, only then did she remember that she is not an unwaived girl in the Ye Mansion, she has long been a concubine of the royal family.
In the fall of Xining 13 years, she was tricked by her father and brother back to the Ye family, and Xining entered Ninghua Palace as a concubine in 14 years.
In the autumn of 13th year in Xining, Concubine Ding'an of Yining Palace said she recognized her as a righteous daughter, and it wasn't long before she called her third elder brother, the cold and kind current sage sitting on the altar in front of her became her Husband-in-law.
She always felt that she was not used to it. The day before, the current sage, who was so ethereal and unrecognizable from the heights, was still advising her to leave Beijing quickly and not to go into the muddy waters of the imperial capital. The next moment, he would follow the Empress Dowager's order Willing to accept her as the assistant room and call her into the palace.
Of course, Siqing is not the only one who is not used to the change of status, there is also Jinshang Xiao Yi.Xiao Yi also felt awkward when the brothers and sisters turned their heads and turned into emperors and concubines.
Xiao Yi ascended the throne at a young age, and has been living in the shadow of the Empress Dowager ever since.His Empress He of the Yuan Dynasty and the only second concubine in the palace were all arranged by the Empress Dowager. Now that he is in charge, the Empress Dowager still has to dictate how to make his righteous sister his concubine.
Deep down in his heart, it was really difficult for him to accept the "good intentions" of the Empress Dowager, but he couldn't escape the mercy of the Empress Dowager.
In the spring of Xining's 14th year, the two awkward Xiao Yisiqing successfully reached a contract in order to express their intention to rebel against the Empress Dowager.
The two will work hand in hand and help each other in the same boat, and together they will perform well in front of outsiders the drama of "the king is holy and the concubine is virtuous, self-restraint and return to ritual", and in front of the empress dowager, they will sing the double reed song "Actually we don't know each other well at all".
Xiao Yi told the Empress Dowager that he was not interested in the deputy room arranged by the Empress Dowager, and Siqing told the Empress Dowager that it was all right, and Xiao Yi ignored her and she couldn't help it.
The ideal of having separate lives and not interfering with each other is very fulfilling, but in reality, unexpected challenges have been encountered.Xiao Yisiqing and Xiao Yisiqing's drama became more and more tacit, and the more tacit, the less real, and the less real, the more tacit, as if caught in some kind of unbreakable cycle.
Xiao Yi, who looks like beautiful jade and like solid ice, begins to melt gradually, leaving only Siqing still scrupulously adhering to the contract they signed before.
Siqing has an inexplicable fear of the huge Miyagi. Although Jinshang treats her as gentle as a family member, and although the two often have a sense of speculation beyond their status, Siqing still dare not admire him.
Siqing and Empress Xianhe had never met before, and for a long time after entering the palace, Siqing always inexplicably dreamed of Empress Xianhe whose cause of death was unknown, and then she was frightened awake in the dream.Before she could gain a foothold in the palace, she could not be moved by any warmth.
Siqing Xining wants to gain a foothold after entering the palace in 14 years, the first thing she has to face is the empress dowager who has a lot of power and is uncertain.
Siqing calculated everything indifferently, knowing that her offspring were the foundation for her to gain a foothold, so Siqing was born at the same time as her second son Xiao Ru and Xiao Huan at the end of 15 years in Xining.Xiao Yi thought that he moved Si Qing like a warm sun, and Si Qing thought that Xiao Yi understood her situation, so she got Xiao Yi's acquiescence to expand the contract without authorization.
Unfortunately, when the twins were born, the Empress Dowager had already died of illness.
Because Siqing felt that giving birth to her second son was to accomplish a task that would benefit her, she was not close to the second son.Compared with continuing to live in the palace, family affection and love are nothing to Yu Siqing.However, these two sons did help Siqing gain a foothold. After 15 years in Xining, she was promoted successively to imperial concubine and imperial concubine.
Since Xining returned to Beijing in 13 years, everything has been like a dream. Before the dream started, she was still a peasant girl picking lotus and weeding rice in the Jiangnan countryside. After waking up from the dream, she became a palace family member in Ninghua Palace with beautiful makeup and costumes.
Outsiders lamented that she had a good life, and she was only aware of the cold and warm.
She also has her ambition, since she entered the palace, she will become the queen of the palace.
It's a pity that his father Ye Xiufeng retained his position as a cabinet minister and made many enemies.Ye Xiufeng's political opponents were the first to refuse Siqing's wish to become queen.Except for the courtiers who confronted Ye Xiufeng tit for tat in the court who did not agree, the kings who respected Kang'an and others who were originally displeased with Ye Xiufeng's Qingliu also did not agree.
It's a long story. Siqing grew up in the countryside since she was a child. After her adoptive father Fu Linchuan was implicated in a criminal case and changed his name and surname to steal his life, the whole family moved to the depths of the poor mountains.
Since Emperor Wuzong of this dynasty began to prohibit the clan kings from becoming feudal vassals, except for the Dingnan vassal king who guards the southwest, all the zong kings are not vassals in the imperial capital.They themselves are not feudal vassals, but their local vassal fields have been expanding.Siqing grew up in a place where there were seven mountains, two rivers and one field, and she couldn't get used to her clan's powerful slaves encroaching on the fields.
When Siqing was still in the imperial concubine position, many emperors wrote letters saying that they were poor and wanted to continue to expand the domain.Xiao Yi wanted to cut off the only king of Dingnan County who was in the vassal and let him return to Beijing with the crowd, but the kings disagreed.In the evening, Siqing and Jinshang drank in Maode Hall, and the two were very drunk. Siqing wrote on the cover of every booklet that Zongwang wrote that he wanted to expand the domain. Gao Shi's "Fengqiu Zuo" is even more fragrant with the word "fart".
Probably because of the eyeliner of the emperors in the Maode Palace, things spread like wildfire, and Siqing was scolded by the court for pre-government.This kind of thing of lifting a stone to shoot her own feet made Siqing almost fail to be the imperial concubine. Since then, all the princes have opposed Ye's daughter's entry into the palace with both hands and feet.
Although Siqing has shrunk her head since then, wishing she could turn into glutinous rice balls covered with soybean flour that won't stick anywhere.But her cheap old son Ye Xiufeng didn't intend to let her go, and kept making trouble for her.
Today's nightmare made her feel down. She had a premonition that Ye Xiufeng, her cheap old man who fell from the sky, was going to make trouble for her again.
Sure enough, her dowry maid, Ling Zhen, came in, called "Ma'am", looked around, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, something happened in Fuzhou. Later, I heard that not only is there a shortage of livelihood supplies, but also the army owes too much money, and the garrison may mutiny, and I'm afraid something big will happen."
Siqing was so depressed that she wished she could let out a scream.
She once swore that she would never pay attention to the Ye family after entering the palace, but things backfired. In the past three years, what Siqing did the most was to secretly deal with the aftermath of the Ye family, because the Ye family was her mother's family, and they depended on each other.
In order to live a better life for herself, Siqing had no choice but to greet her cheap old man one by one, and at the same time racked her brains to deal with the aftermath of her cheap old man in order to maintain the prestige of her mother clan.
But she understands that she can't scream, and now any disturbance will become a talking point.She restrained herself firmly, and slapped on the table with her palm.
"Young lady, your hands hurt!" Ling Zhen said.
Siqing gritted her teeth and said, "One last time." She never wanted to deal with the aftermath of her cheap father.
"You say it the last time every time."
"I swear it's the last time."
Lingzhen sighed: "Okay, you said this is the last time, it's the last time."
Siqing sat up and leaned against Lingzhen: "It's been more than three years, it's been more than three years, the empress dowager's funeral has passed, how many people are watching my jokes behind my back? Huh? Say, I made it for that old man Is there still less to do? Why doesn't the old man think about it for me now?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the empress came first and Siqing entered the palace later, which seems to be a good relationship with the present.Siqing became pregnant shortly after entering the palace, and was promoted to imperial concubine and imperial concubine.However, now that the empress dowager's filial piety period has expired, she is still an imperial concubine, and there is no sign of entering the central palace at all.
She came back from He Ningpin's ceremony today, and she was so tired that she fell asleep in a nightmare.This Concubine He Ning is the younger sister of the former Empress and the aunt of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. The Uncle of the Empress He Shizhi and Ye Xiufeng have always been at odds. .
Siqing got up, changed her clothes and put on her makeup, and said to Lingzhen: "Go and spread a message, tell the people in the mansion, tell the old man to weigh himself before doing something!"
Lingzhen had other thoughts: "Tell me, could it be that the third and fourth bedrooms did it in the name of the master? The master has always been cautious in doing things, and he would not leave such a big handle outside. Maybe, who is it?" Grandpa asked us to do it with three and four bedrooms in our house."
The late empress's uncle, He Shizhi, was at odds with Ye Xiufeng, and also had secret motives to punish Ye Xiufeng. Lingzhen's speculation made sense.
Si Qing thought for a while and said, "Even if it's the ghost of the third and fourth house, who closed the door with the surname Ye, now they can't be separated from the big house."
When Siqing thought that she had to help her cheap old man clean up the dirt, and also had to guard against being scolded by others for pre-government, Siqing felt agitated for no reason, so she said again: "Write to Ye Lancheng and ask him to come back to Beijing after his term of office is over. Family separation in the mansion! The Ye family's affairs were originally his business, I don't want to take care of them anymore. If we don't separate the families, big trouble will happen sooner or later!"
Ling Zhen grew up in the Ye Mansion since she was a child, and she knows the basics of the Ye family's affairs: "The old man is no better than the old man, he is worthless, if he comes back to Beijing, he will eat his bones. Besides, let him be a foreigner. It's the meaning of my uncle, the face of Duke Jia's mansion, I can't help it."
Si Qing looked on coldly, although Shen Jiangdong got on well with his brother-in-law these years, he looked down on Ye Xiufeng, his in-laws.It was this brother-in-law's idea that Ye Lancheng let go of his post.One is for the sake of Ye Lancheng's future, and the other is that he dislikes that the Ye family has no separation, and is afraid that Shen Huanhua will be wronged if he lives in Yefu, the capital, to take care of a large family.
Siqing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You're reminding me that Jiaguo's mansion has a lot of face. Since I can reach into Ye's mansion, I have to annoy Uncle Shen to be a villain. Let's see what happens this time. Three bedrooms and four bedrooms are related, so why not pull out the Duke Jia's mansion to separate the family. After the family is separated, everyone will be clean."
Siqing led the palace staff from Ninghua Hall to Maode Hall to meet Jinshang, when he turned the long street, he suddenly saw something, so he grabbed Ling Zhen who was beside him and hid behind the wall.
Ling Zhen wondered: "What's wrong?"
Siqing let out a "hush".
Lingzhen didn't listen to Siqing, she poked her head around, and saw that it was Concubine Ning He wearing a peach red gown and crimson woven gold skirt, leading the palace people passing by.
"What are you doing hiding from her?" Lingzhen asked.
Seeing that Concubine Ning had gone far away, Si Qing walked back to the long street, and said calmly: "We have to deal with it when we meet, don't you feel disturbed when you hear her say that she is neither yin nor yang or yin and yang?"
"That's no reason for you to hide from her..."
"If I don't hide from her, can she hide from me? Let's go, there's no need to argue about this."
When they arrived at Maode Hall, Siqing ordered the accompanying palace guards to wait outside the hall and go in alone.Ling Zhen, who was holding a food box and soup at the back, froze for a moment, and was about to call Si Qing, but Si Qing had already entered the hall.
Siqing walked around the marble screen and saw Xiao Yi sitting on the short couch under the west window looking up at the sunset.
Seeing the many attendants in the hall, Si Qing saluted like a ceremonial: "Your Majesty, safe and sound."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Why are there so many courtesies today? I have already memorized the soup song, what are you going to say?" Just as he was about to order his attendants to step down, Siqing suddenly bowed down, "I have something to ask Your Majesty Confused."
Seeing her seriousness, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, Siqing had already said to herself: "The case of Fuzhou in the imperial court has been raging, and I heard that this matter is actually involved with my mother's family..."
Siqing seldom speaks out on political affairs in front of people, Xiao Yi was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Siqing, but Siqing winked at him quietly.
Xiao Yi froze for a moment, Siqing covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed deliberately.
"The imperial concubine has more and more things to worry about," Xiao Yi understood, and said lightly, "Don't ask too much about the matters of the previous dynasty."
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, this matter is raging, and this concubine can't sleep and eat, so..."
A teacup shattered at the sound, and all the attendants fell to the ground one after another, not daring to make a sound, only Xiao Yi said coldly: "Go out."
Siqing didn't see the slightest panic, raised her hand to increase her quota, kowtowed and said: "I will leave."
Siqing walked lightly out of the inner hall, Ling Zhen came up to her, still holding the food box, and said with a pale face, "Young lady, why did you ask so bluntly? Your Majesty, why..."
But Siqing laughed: "Once the third brother has a fit, let's see if the old man dares to come and beg me for his success?" After speaking, he opened the lid of the food box, picked up a bowl of soup, drank it all, turned and left.
"I thought I was going to present it to His Majesty, and the emotion is so far away, it's for you to drink." Ling Zhen chased after her and chattered.
The Xiaoxiao autumn rain stopped, and the cool wind suddenly picked up, adding to the sadness.The cold tone of the silver character Sheng is long, and the water pattern is cold and the screen is cool.I don't know which palace's people blew the sheng, and the sound of the sheng spread to Ninghua Palace where Siqing lived.Through the screen, Siqing ordered the guards at night: "It's getting cold, take down the bamboo mats and stone pillows. Go down too, there is no need to keep watch."
The bead curtains are engraved, the incense smoke curls up from the incense burner, and the house is full of incense.The night was deep, and the shadow of the waning moon in the half-window was projected on the dressing table, as if a thin layer of dust had formed.The rain suddenly swished down again.The flying corners of the eaves throw down the rainwater collected between the tiles, and the sound of the water drips, which lasts all night.
There was a dead silence in Ninghua Palace, and the palace people were already fast asleep.The night was long, but Siqing couldn't sleep.She suddenly smiled coolly, and whispered to the direction of the dark door: "Since the third brother is here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Are you still angry with me? Why don't you go to bed so late?"
There is always a strange relationship between them, seemingly intimate, but not intimate at the same time.She is like a subject, like a close friend, but she is not like his concubine.
Xiao Yi treats people with kindness and elegance, but the coldness of alienation persists in his body.He rarely called "Zhen" in front of Siqing, and Siqing did not call him a minister or concubine in front of him.
Before the death of the Empress Dowager at the end of 14 and the beginning of 15, the two of them kept pretending that "we were not familiar with each other".After the death of the Empress Dowager, the two began to talk about everything. Xiao Yi liked to tell her about the previous court, and often closed the door to block the etiquette. The attendants of Ninghua Palace were not surprised.
In the eyes of outsiders, Siqing has been in the palace for more than three years, and she originally had a good relationship with Jinshang.Moreover, every time after coming to the court, he often discusses gains and losses with Siqing, and if he has something to lose, he then remonstrates and promotes his benefits. It is very rare for him to be so angry with Siqing today.
Xiao Yi wore a blue crane cloak tonight, everyone said that she is as beautiful as jade, although Xiao Yi is not the most handsome, but his skin is as white as jade, and it looks more gentle under the shadow of the lamp.Si Qing recalled getting drunk after the banquet, and she told him that in the fall of Xining 13 years, Shen Huanhua persuaded her to escape from the imperial capital, but she did not leave, and chose to enter the palace.She asked him if he knew why she did this, and he lisp: "Because you covet my beauty."
At that time, Siqing thought to herself that there are such narcissistic people in the world?Don't say that she is greedy for his emperor's position, but that she covets his beauty.
Sometimes Siqing would also wonder whether she was greedy for his beauty?It's against my will to say nothing at all.However, Siqing has always believed that since she was forced to enter the palace, she should not aim to find a lifelong bosom lover.Because if you want to live better in the palace, you must be restrained and calm enough.
Thinking of this, Siqing said: "Why would I be angry with you? I would like to thank the third brother for playing a good show today. My cheap old man will not dare to bother me for at least half a year. I really want to ask today, Fuzhou...... What's the matter? Is it something that my cheap old man fished out?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said softly: "The matter in Fuzhou this time is not that simple. Someone is investigating, so we have to wait."
Si Qing said: "Still waiting? These days, I have felt that people's hearts are floating. Everyone who sees me will look at me more meaningfully."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "You are in this position, it will inevitably attract people's attention, why should you bother. This matter has to wait until Yuanxi gets married, and it will probably have a result."
"What does the matter in Fuzhou have to do with Shen Yuanxi's marriage?" Si Qing asked, what did she realize, "He is finally getting married?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
Shen Jiangdong has never married because of the strange affairs of the imperial capital.
Shen Huanhua once told Siqing that when Shen Jiangdong was young, the old Jia Guogong ordered him a marriage. In recent years, due to national funerals and other events, the marriage of the two families has been delayed again and again.
"Yuanxi's new wife, Ding Youqian, was the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She happened to be from Fuzhou and returned to Fuzhou Ding You, so she is investigating the affairs of Fuzhou. Before she gets married, she must return to Beijing to deliver the errand, so wait for Yuan Get married in the west, and the matter of Fuzhou is fine." Xiao Yi said slowly, "But the matter of Fuzhou is really not quite right, maybe it really has nothing to do with Ye Xiufeng, and I don't know."
"Where there is no wind, there are no waves," Siqing said, "I know the virtues of my cheap old man."
"for example……"
"For example, the third room wants the younger sister of the third room to be the housemate of the ninth child, and the wife of the fourth room wants the younger sister of the fourth room to be the child of Duke Jia. This is what a family is." Siqing angrily took the bracelet she was playing with Throwing it on the couch, "I won't take care of my mother's business in the future."
Xiao Yi listened with a smile: "Don't talk about this. You said that Yuanxi got married, and the fifth child came back to Beijing?"
The Ye Mansion has been very lifeless lately. First, Ye Xiufeng, the pillar of the Ye family, was involved in the Fuzhou case, and was stabbed in the back; then, the Empress Dowager had completed her filial piety for three years, but the eldest daughter of the Ye family was still an imperial concubine, and had not been admitted to the lord for a long time. Gong Gong became the new queen, and there was a sign of falling out of favor.These two incidents made Ye Fu unable to breathe, and even the dog stopped barking a few times.
The third wife who was in charge of the family in the Ye mansion suspected that the Ye family was a villain, and she burned incense and worshiped Buddha everywhere. When she heard that her in-law, Grandpa Jiaguo, was finally getting married, she quickly recited "Amitabha Buddha" and said to the third master: "Uncle, please hurry up to get married, and be very happy. That's fine too!"
The third master picked his teeth and sneered: "Shen's family is married, not Ye's. What kind of joy are you going to make us happy? If our family wants a happy event, we have to let our phoenix fly out."
The third wife understood after hearing this: "It is said that the Empress Dowager is full of filial piety, and the eldest girl of our family should also have the position of the middle palace. This is what the Empress Dowager agreed to... Why is there no movement. But then again, brother In my dreams, I hope that our family will fly out of the golden phoenix. But I watched it coldly, the eldest girl has never paid attention to the elder brother, I am afraid that this phoenix will fly far away!"
The third master was still hungover, and he opened his mouth and said: "Daughters are losers. Although you are confused, you are right. Since when did the imperial concubine pay attention to the Ye family? I want Lan Zhi and King Xiaojing, Don't ask for position! Sifang wants to tell Lan Rui's niece to be a minor to Duke Jia. The imperial concubine won't take care of such a trivial matter. It's fine for the imperial concubine to ignore it. If you don't let Lan Cheng's wife take care of it, you say it's what's up!"
"Damn," the third wife scolded, "You brothers are addicted to selling your daughters, right?"
Lan Zhi was born by the third master's concubine, and the third wife had no children, so she couldn't talk, so she bypassed Lan Zhi and continued: "The fourth wife doesn't look at her own face! The fourth sibling bullying Lan Rui was not born by her, she Would she be willing to give her own niece Lan Xuan as a child? Give it back to Lord Jia, I heard that Lord Jia only had one concubine, and he was rewarded by the first empress dowager. Mrs. Tou hasn't married yet, so I can put a team of people in the room first? Besides, what's the matter with Lan Cheng's wife? Which girl have you seen all over the world to marry a concubine for her brother Zhang Luo? Four rooms are shameless, people Lan Cheng's wife wants more."
"You are looking for Lan Cheng's wife, but you don't want to think about it. When did the big house's nephew and niece give you a good look? The eldest niece entered the palace and became a concubine. She never saw you, and you still talked to Lan Cheng and his wife. When the family is divided, see if Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law will give up her share of the family property and let you take care of it." The more the third master said, the more he talked.
The third wife was not annoyed: "The eldest aunt is not from this house. She never said a word to me. After becoming a concubine, it is reasonable to wish to dump you, a third-bedroom uncle who only knows how to whore and gamble. As for Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law , she is an upright young lady of Duke Jia's mansion, and her dowry is bigger than your family property, so would she care about the little money from the family split?"
"Shut up! Eat what's inside and out!" The third master was poked in the sore spot, coupled with the strength of alcohol, suddenly changed color and became angry.
The third wife refused to let go: "I can't keep my mouth open! Just rely on you, and still divide the family? Divide the family, don't rely on the eldest brother, can you really stand up? Who knows who eats the inside and outside, and the aunt who touches the fourth room still counts on the fourth room siblings Let me cover you, the mansion is so rotten that I came here to fight you!"
The husband and wife quarreled more and more fiercely, and the maid at the door suddenly called out loudly: "Third Master, Third Wife, the Master is here!"
Ye Xiufeng came to the third wife to talk about giving Shen Jiangdong a marriage gift, but he didn't expect to encounter a quarrel between the husband and wife, so he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. challenge."
The third wife said: "There are old rules, brother, don't worry."
Ye Xiufeng said: "Lan Cheng has something to do, and Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law came back to Beijing from the south. Their house has been locked all the time. I'm afraid Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law won't be able to live there..."
"I can save it, so I'll ask someone to clean it." The third master spoke courteously while sending Ye Xiufeng out. Ye Xiufeng had something to do and left in a hurry.
Here, the third wife hastily cleaned out the yard where Ye Lancheng and his wife used to live. Unexpectedly, Shen Huanhua came back to Beijing by himself, so he went back to Ye's mansion and ordered a seat, and then turned to live in his natal Jiaguo mansion.
"Mr. Jiaguo's family is not low, and the daughters he taught are like this? When they come back to Beijing, they don't go back to the mansion, and they live back to their mother's house in a big way? They didn't get along with each other!" The fourth wife and the third wife complained.
Unexpectedly, the fourth master heard it from behind, and jumped out of his pocket, pointed at the fourth wife and scolded: "Quickly clamp your mouth and get out of here! The lady of Jia Guogong's mansion, she has such a good family, married into our house, Well done, what nonsense are you talking about with your red mouth and white teeth!"
The fourth wife jumped up: "You are used to pretending to be a Bodhisattva! The eldest lady of the Jiaguo Mansion is not willing to tell Lanrui to her brother as a child, what are you talking about? How dare you say it again in front of the third sister-in-law!"
The four rooms spared no effort to tear each other down, the third wife only hated herself for having an extra pair of ears, and said hastily: "Fourth uncle has something to do, let's go get busy."
"He's got something to do? Either he's going to play an opera or he's on his way!" The fourth wife was unwilling to let go, but fortunately the fourth master was sensible, ignored the fourth wife, turned his head and nodded with the third wife, and left.
The third wife said: "Four brothers and sisters, it's not that I'm the sister-in-law who talks about you, Lan Rui's niece, it's that Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law agrees, and the eldest brother will definitely not. You think, our family is now in-laws with the Duke of Jia's mansion, Lan Rui It's Lan Cheng's sister-in-law. Lan Cheng's upright sister-in-law is a concubine for the uncle. How do you ask Lan Cheng to wipe his face in Jiaguo's mansion? How do you ask outsiders to think of big brother? Big girl suffers, big brother Can you eat it on Lan Rui's niece again? You can't annoy Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law just because of this."
Sifang hotly gave Shen Jiangdong's own daughter who was born in a prime minister's mansion as a concubine, and rushed to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to be a matchmaker.If it did, Ye Xiufeng's face in court would be lost.
"How dare I annoy Lan Cheng's wife?"
"You are speaking out of anger. The old Jia Guogong and his wife passed away a long time ago, and Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law worked in her natal family when she was not out of the cabinet. Now, the concubine rewarded by the empress dowager by Jia Guogong's side is gone, and there is no one in charge in the mansion. I'm in a hurry to have a wedding, our two houses are far away, it's okay for Lan Cheng's daughter-in-law to live in her mother's house and take care of things."
Speaking of the new wife of Duke Jia's mansion, the fourth wife became excited: "I heard that the new wife of Duke Jia's family background is very low, what a baby girl, she hasn't moved for so many years, seeing that the marriage is going to be serious, who would have thought that she would be excited?" , got up again."
The third wife said: "Why is there no movement? Didn't the empress dowager want to tell Duke Jia the righteous daughter of the former emperor and the first empress dowager, the niece of the former empress dowager, the defeated Lord of Jingguo's mansion, Shangyang Princess?" As the head wife, Jia Guogong returned the marriage contract in the past. Also, you only know one thing, not just the other. I heard that Jia Guogong's new wife is a talented person, even though she is The woman has been an official of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment. Although she is not a big official, she is rare in this dynasty. Although she has been engaged to her uncle since she was young, she has always kept a low profile. Before the ceremony, the whole court did not know The new wife's marriage was delayed because of her mother's death."
"I have been an official, and I want to get married. No matter how smart I am, it's fine if I don't have a good family background. I'm getting married soon, and I haven't come back to Beijing yet. Where can there be such a daughter-in-law in an aristocratic family?" Fourth Wife With a sour face.
"Where did you save the power of it!" The third wife has always been careful, "Do you know where this new lady returned to Ding You?"
"I heard it's north..."
"It's Fuzhou!" The third wife lowered her voice and continued, "It's the Fuzhou that implicated the eldest brother in the accident! Besides Ding Youqian, this new lady is the head of the criminal department, God knows what she knows."
The Fourth Wife was stunned: "No wonder Eldest Brother cares so much about Duke Jia's marriage."
Feng Qiuzuo
I was originally a fisherman and woodcutter Meng Zhuye, and I have been a leisurely person all my life.
At first glance, I can sing wildly in the grass, but I would rather be an official in the dust?
It is only said that Xiaoyi does nothing, and everything in the public house is expected.
It is heartbreaking to greet the chief, and it is sad to whip Li Shu.
When I came back, I asked my wife at home, and the whole family laughed like this.
Things should be done in the south of the field, and the world's feelings will go to the east.
I dream that the old mountain is safe and sound, and I will return late for the title of king.
Knowing that Mei Futu is you, I recall Tao Qian's return.
