No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 490 The Emperor does not do good things

Miaoyu, Tong'an, Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Meng Yin were together in the corner of Xiu Nu Chun. These five people had been there without any incident in the past few days. Meng Yin knew that this time he and Miaoyu It's like crossing the bright road and going to where they should go. Daiyu and Xiangyun are just taking advantage of their youth this time to come out and test the waters and see what happens in the draft. If they choose someone well later, they will also There is no need to go this far. So the one who is really undecided this time but must be determined this time is Tongan.

"Don't be afraid, how about Miaoyu help me with a divination?" Tong'an was still smiling.

How could Tongan not know what everyone knew. However, when the concubine invited her, she had an ominous premonition that the draft was coming to an end this time.

Most of the candidates in the general election have no ambitions. The emperor is in his prime. Looking at the old saint's figure, who knows how long he can live. And the emperor obviously doesn't like people with noble family backgrounds, and he knows it from the draft situation.

Therefore, in this draft, everyone is actually competing, but it is not to compete for the emperor, but to compete for reputation. With a good reputation, if you are praised by the concubine or the queen, your family will be honored. But like this, there aren't many dirty things. Everyone is more virtuous than the one they dress in, and they also want to come out and make friends.

Miaoyu didn't bring those things with her. Xiangxiang took a feather shuttlecock from a basket on one side, opened it and found three copper coins underneath, and handed it to her.

Of course Tongan knew what it meant. He took out a tea cup, covered the mouth of the cup and shook it. After a while, he tipped the cup upside down on the table. Everyone didn't dare to say anything and could only stare at Miaoyu blankly.

Miaoyu waited quietly, and Tongan opened the cup on the table. Three coins are on the tablecloth.

Miaoyu pursed her lips and looked at the money, then looked at Tongan's face, and hesitated for a moment, "I don't know if this is good news or bad news, but this is a hexagram that can be chosen one among ten thousand."

Meng Yin suddenly raised her head and looked to the other side. The girls hadn't come over either. Everyone was teasing each other in small groups in low voices. However, Meng Yin had been by Jia Mu's side since she was a child and could never believe what she saw. , hurriedly picked up the three copper coins, shook them casually, and scattered them on the table. Daiyu was not stupid, she grabbed it with a smile and threw it away casually, "I'll come, I'll come, let's see if mine is the biggest."

So it looks like they are shaking money to compare points here. You can't say that you should bring a few dice into the palace. Some people looked back and then looked away. Miaoyu laughed, and everyone started throwing money around like catching coins.

In fact, three copper coins are just front and back, how much can they change. Just like Tong'an just now, the cup is used as a vessel and the cup is placed on the money. The cup is porcelain, the earth burned by fire, the money is gold, and the table is wood, and the three coins in Tong'an are all the negative side, which is the Kun hexagram. The five elements converge in Kun, which is the symbol of the supreme woman. At this time, who could be the supreme female figure? How could Miaoyu not be frightened by this. So it was thanks to Meng Yin's quick wit that she quickly diverted her attention. Otherwise, she herself would be shocked.

Early the next morning, the old saint's edict was issued again. Princess Tong'an is chaste and elegant, and has won my heart. She is specially given to accompany her in the new emperor's palace. Her father, He XX, has made great contributions to the dynasty and deserves to be honored by the Martyrs' Shrine. I am specially allowed to marry him in the mansion of the first-class general Jia She!

There were two copies, one was sung to Tong'an in the palace, and the other was sent to Jia's house.

With the old saint's imperial edict, other edicts were issued one after another. Except for Tong'an, all those who came to the third election had their own edicts, allowing them to return home.

Meng Yin and others accepted the order and took the others back to the Meng family, while Tong'an was sent back to the Jia family.

And this is the second time that the Jia family has received the imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor. The Jia family was stunned for a moment. Our family is closed to keep filial piety. Why? They only dared to curse in their hearts and went to help the old lady up together. Both old men were very depressed. It doesn't seem right to say that the old saint doesn't do good things, but it's true, it's really annoying.

Ou Mengmeng pursed her lips, waved her hand silently, and returned to her Rongqing Hall.

"Mother!" Jia She was a little worried. Meng Yin and Jia Xuan, Miao Yu and Zhu Moqin were getting married. Master Meng had to enter the palace in person. No matter what the new emperor did, as long as he agreed, he would do it. Daiyu and Xiangyun were still young, so outside the palace, the focus of everyone's attention had always been Tongan's fate. Now that it's settled, Jia She feels that it's better for the old lady to find one for Tong'an in Jiangnan. It's estimated that the royal family won't deny it if she finds one in Jiangnan. This time it's really a sheep in the tiger's mouth. Jia She couldn't help but look back at his mother, thinking that after the old lady entered the palace, every time she mentioned Tong'an, the old lady fell silent, so had she already guessed the result?

"It's okay, prepare to welcome Princess Tong'an back. Go ask the Ministry of Rites to ask what the Jia family should do." Ou Mengmeng stopped and spoke softly.

Jia Zheng responded, bowed himself, and went out. He was the one who came to do this kind of running around various ministries. After all, he was in court and could talk to the six ministries.

But Jia She still supported his mother and did not dare to speak.

Ou Mengmeng finally calmed down and walked slowly back to her Rongqing Hall with a stick.

"Grandma, Sister He is going to..." Jia Ying and Jia Fen rushed over, and now they had a sense of reality. It turns out that if you are not careful, you will really be doomed.

"She's coming back. Let her house be tidied up. Let's see what else we need to prepare. Get ready first." Ou Mengmeng smiled.

Jia Ying knew that the old lady didn't want to talk now, so she bowed and hurriedly pulled Jia Fen away.

"Mother." Jia She looked at the old lady's frustrated face.

"That day in the palace, I had some bad premonitions. I felt at that time that I shouldn't have entered the palace." Ou Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, stepped back, and then said softly to her son.

"Why?" Jia She didn't understand.

"The one who came to announce the decree today is not Eunuch Xia." Ou Mengmeng suddenly said something mindless.

"Mother!" Jia She was really unhappy. Can the old lady talk properly now? To read out the Emperor's imperial edict, of course it's not Eunuch Xia who is here to read out the edict? However, think about it, news came from the palace yesterday that the old concubine left the palace overnight last night, and she returned to the palace happily. In the evening, she suddenly opened the palace gate and city gate, and returned to the palace by herself. Then early in the morning, the old concubine The saint's will came out from the palace. The things here have to make people think deeply.

"The emperor sent Tong'an out of the palace. His original intention was for me to teach her to be the second Yuan'er and give her to Jia Xuan. If you really can't escape, I will give you a fake. I don't want to. No one should become someone else's fake. "Ou Mengmeng closed her eyes in disgust.

"But when Tongan came to our house, she was like this?" Jia She was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully. When He Ying came, the old lady no longer personally educated these girls. It's all their own mutual consideration. Later, because the You sisters were illiterate, the old lady only taught one literacy class every day, just "The Thousand-Character Classic". The old lady asked the sisters to adjust themselves. Tong'an's temperament has been like this for a long time. This has something to do with the Jia family. what relationship.

It was another day where my whole body ached from lying down. Now I just got up and sat up. I couldn't sit still anymore and then lay down again. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I could actually take painkillers. But think about it, I don’t know if it has expired, so don’t eat it.
