Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 214 Someone Comes from Kunning Palace
On Qinye's mansion,

flower hall,

I thought it would be easy to answer simply, but when I thought about involving so many nobles, I couldn't make it simple, so I had to reply;
"Father-in-law, it will be on the ninth day, and it will be a big deal."

"Since it requires too much, will this be too tight?"

Qin Ye also asked a question uncertainly, and Zhang Jinyu was also a little difficult to answer. I haven't talked to my mother about this matter yet, but everything I need can be prepared in one day. As for the banquet, I can host it in my own restaurant, and I don't even think about it If it's a big deal, just agree with it.

"Father-in-law, this matter is settled like this, and the other son-in-law will handle it."

Seeing this, Qin Ye had no choice but to agree.

The two reheated the food and wine and ate directly in the flower hall, talking about interesting things in the capital these days and how to arrange the marriage as if no one else was there.

And in the palace,
Emperor Wu came to the harem,
After entering the Kunning Palace, he talked about Luo Yunhou's marriage with the queen, which seemed a little urgent, but the queen Jiang Yuqing was a little suspicious, so she asked;

"Why does Your Majesty come here today to ask about this matter?"

Emperor Wu also realized that he was a little anxious, so he sat down and said;
"It's my fault. I came here today to visit Yuqing. By the way, how is the marriage of Luo Yunhou?"

Seeing Emperor Wu's duplicity, the queen also put down the embroidery in her hand, sat down and poured a bowl of tea for Zhou Shihong, and said;
"Your Majesty, you are in a difficult situation. If you can tell me, I can ask you why you are in such a hurry."

"It's still Yuqing. There is an accident in the south of the Yangtze River, and Luo Yunhou needs to go. He is the best candidate. I can't trust others, but I want to send him after he gets married, because his mother is Jinling. People, I mean that Marquis Luo Yun can take his family with him when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, so the time is more urgent."

Although Queen Jiang Yuqing has been in the harem for a long time, she also knows how important Jiangnan is.

If Jiangnan is safe, the court of the Great Wu will be stable. If there is chaos in that place, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although I don't know what happened, but His Majesty's inquiry like this must be imminent.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The nearest good day is the ninth day of the Chinese New Year. You can get married on that day. As for the arrangement, let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs take over. Besides, the edict of the girl's title as the county lord has already been prepared, and you can do it today." Convey, if it's really not possible, the concubine can send someone to notify the Luoyunhou Mansion Wang's family to enter the palace for discussion, that's great."

Seeing the queen who supported him so much, Emperor Wu also had a guilty expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to embrace the queen in his arms.
"Thank you Yuqing, I've left you out in the cold."

Empress Jiang Yuqing leaned on Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong's shoulder and said with a smile;

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The concubine is thinking about it. I wanted to wait a few days. Since the emperor is so anxious, I will seal that girl first. Chun He, you can take the servant to Qin Ye's mansion to read the imperial decree."

"Yes, the servants will obey Yi's orders."

Chunhe, who was waiting on the side, immediately knelt down to receive Yizhi and was about to go out. The queen thought about it, and it seemed that something was wrong, and then she stopped Chunhe.

"Wait, Chunhe, after you pass on Yizhi, if you still have time, you can go to Luoyunhou's mansion again, and ask Mrs. Wang to bring the county master Qin to this palace. If you have time, you can take it personally. The two of you came here, you can remember clearly."

Chunhe turned around and listened, and when she heard the question from the empress, she answered;
"Reporting to the empress, the servant has remembered clearly. I must bring the words with me."

"Bring more people and go in a carriage."

"It's the lady."

After seeing the female Shi Chunhe going out, Emperor Wu didn't intervene, but was it too urgent to enter the palace this time?

"Yuqing, isn't it a little too hasty to let those girls into the palace today?"

The queen saw that Zhou Shihong was still a little anxious, so she couldn't help but act like a baby in Emperor Wu's arms and said;

"Your Majesty, it's only three days. How can we not be in a hurry? Besides, if we recognize our goddaughter, do we need to meet for this matter? Besides, the queen mother should let me know."

Emperor Wu thought about it, too, time was a bit tight, the queen mother really wanted to tell her the old man, after all, the queen mother supported her when she was in the palace.

"Well, Yuqing can figure it out, and I won't stay here anymore, the queen must take care of this matter,"

After the Emperor Wu finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but the Queen was reluctant. Zhou Shihong patted the Queen's hand as if comforting, and Jiang Yuqing let go.

Reluctantly sent Zhou Shihong outside the Kunning Palace, and then returned after watching the emperor leave.

Then he said to Xia Yu, the female historian,
"Xia Yu, you go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and invite the old Empress Dowager to come to this palace, saying that you have something to discuss."

"Yes, empress, servant girl is going now."

Sitting in the hall, Jiang Yuqing drank tea and pondered over what Emperor Wu said about Jiangnan.

The south of the Yangtze River has been in peace for a long time, what can happen, and moreover, all the elites of the great martial arts are in the capital, even if they want to make trouble, they can be destroyed immediately. Could it be those aristocratic families, that's the only way to think about it.

Thinking of the aristocratic family, the old capital Jinling was the base camp of those people, and the Jia family was the number one among them. When thinking of the Jia family, Empress Jiang Yuqing focused her attention on Jia Yuanchun, the female historian who served her in front of the palace.

Such women want to be sent to the palace to seek a place, those aristocratic families only have the interests of the family, how can they think about those women.

Looking at Jia Yuanchun, who is a bit of a big family spirit, the queen also has some pity, but it's just pity. In this deep palace compound, which one is not the opponent, which one is not the driving force behind the scenes, the family has no sympathy to speak of.

Jiang Yuqing shouted towards the point,
"Jia Yuanchun, come and talk back,"

"Yes, ma'am,"

Jia Yuanchun walked towards the palace with small steps, and when he arrived in front of the palace, he bent down and said a blessing,
"Miss, what are your orders?"

"Come on, I want to ask you something, which room is in charge of the Jia family in Jinling?"

Jia Yuanchun was not in a hurry to answer either. Seeing the queen's question, he must have meant something. The Jinling Jia family had long been separated from the capital lineage, and they did not belong to each other. Could it be that something happened in Jiangnan? The answer was not slow, said;
"Returning to your mother, the Jia family in Jinling is headed by the nine-room Jia Wenfu, and basically has no contact with the Jia family's direct line in the capital. What happened to your mother?"

"That's not true. Just ask me, you have been in Kunning Palace for many years, have you ever complained about the Jia family?"

Jiang Yuqing also changed the topic, and then asked about Jia Yuanchun's recent situation.

Jia Yuanchun also didn't have time to think about Jiangnan's affairs, so he replied with a smile;

"Going back to your mother, I never did, and I also want to thank you for protecting Yuan Chun all these years. It is Yuan Chun's blessing to be able to serve you by my mother's side, and I dare not ask for anything else."

Empress Jiang Yuqing looked up at the girl in front of her. She had bright eyes, white and round teeth, and a generous and honest attitude. She suddenly lost interest and was another victim.

"As long as you have the heart, you should prepare some pastries and fruits first, and the Wang family of Luoyun Hou Mansion will come to this palace later."

"It's the lady."

Jia Yuanchun took the maids out of the Kunning Palace and went to the imperial dining room to get some pastries and fruits. On the way, he was still thinking about Luo Yunhou's mother Wang's coming here, but what was the important thing.

However, Chunhe took a large number of court ladies and eunuchs directly in a carriage, and came straight to the south city under the guard of the imperial army. Chunhe deliberately brought more people, the reason was naturally to show the majesty of the queen, and it was a rare opportunity to let the empress do so.

And Qin Mansion,
Qin Ye and Zhang Jinyu also became more and more excited as they drank more and more. The two of them talked about everything as if they had forgotten each other.

"Father-in-law, you suffered a lot when you joined the Ministry of Industry. You were supervisors who worked on leftover materials. With so little oil and water, you might as well have joined the Ministry of Households. It is not awe-inspiring to control the world's money and food."

Qin Ye blushed, reeked of alcohol, and waved his hands repeatedly;

"Oh, how can you say that, the Ministry of Households is rich, but it is busy. After a year, it is half as much as the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry, which I specially selected when I was in the Hanlin Branch Hall, can be of high grade. Some, secondly, no one wants to go, and the chances of staying are greater, and moreover, the old man has no desires and desires, so there is no desire to be competitive when he is old, "

"Father-in-law, this remark is very much in the mind of my son-in-law."

Zhang Jinyu never thought that the officials under the current imperial court would have such a state. Thinking about the distant past life, they worked desperately on various papers, until there were many people who died suddenly, and finally thought about lying down, but it was too late. Those who are involved in various industries are going to die, hey, the ones who are alive have not yet been understood by the father-in-law.

"You, the old man was talking about himself, but he didn't mention you. You are so young and in a high position, you have to be more cautious in your words and deeds, and you must also be careful of the rape of your colleagues. It is difficult to be like the old man. "

Qin Ye took the damp and hot brocade cloth to clean his hands, stroked his beard, and also looked very happy, obviously having a good chat with Zhang Jinyu.

"What my father-in-law mentioned was that Xiaoxu came to Beijing from outside the customs, but it was clear. Who would have thought that after coming here, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion would find his son-in-law's bad luck again and again. How could such behavior be tolerated? Fighting back again and again, let the Jia family wake up, if you don't know what to do, then you can't blame the son-in-law for being cruel."

Zhang Jinyu also felt a little depressed in her heart, she hadn't found any bad luck for Jia's family, she never expected to be picked up by Jia Zhen again and again to provoke trouble, didn't she, huh?
Zhang Jinyu suddenly thought in her heart that these things seemed to happen after her engagement to Qin Keqing's marriage. In this way, the source of all the reasons is here, and she thought that this woman was the beginning of the Red Chamber.

But Zhang Jinyu will never let go, finally regained a new life, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't come here to enjoy the rest of my life, thinking of Qin Keqing's face is also itchy.

But the Jia family is really difficult to deal with, they can only grind their time and slowly cut their flesh with blunt knives. The Rongguo Mansion must have Jia's mother behind them when doing things.

But it suddenly occurred to me that Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, seemed to be still alive. He was a talented and brilliant person. He seemed to be a Jinshi of Yimao Ke at the time of the Supreme Emperor. He should still be alive now, right?
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has something to ask!"
