Chapter 85

The imperial court has undergone a new round of cleaning, and it is another scene.As for who is who, everyone can't tell.

The Duke Protector's Mansion was still motionless. After that incident, Xiao Luo went to work for half a day in a regular manner, and went home to sleep obediently at night.

Prince Yong's Mansion collapsed, and Zhou Shulan, who was engaged to the third son of Lord Yong's son, became a joke in people's eyes. Jingshu's second aunt now refused to agree to this marriage, and she insisted on retiring. I found my natal family and hoped that my natal family would support me.Just kidding, with just this one daughter, how could she be an ordinary citizen, or marry into a guilty family?I heard that in the suburbs of Beijing, they have to do it themselves to fill their stomachs. Where did my daughter suffer from this since she was a child?
Zhou Shulan was already 14 years old and hadn't married yet. The second aunt, Xiao Cheng, was glad that Prince Yong's House fell early, otherwise her daughter's life would have been ruined.

He wanted to get divorced in the past, but her husband's family disagreed. Even Zhou Shulan said that one woman does not serve two husbands.If you think about it, you can figure out that Zhou Shulan's straight and upright person, although not lovable, strictly abides by the precepts for women, and women live their lives. How could they withdraw their marriage?
So Xiao Cheng took Zhou Shulan to her natal family, hoping that her natal family would persuade Zhou Shulan.But Zhou Shulan has made up her mind, she just won't let go, if she is asked to withdraw from her marriage, then she will never marry for life, or become a monk, or end herself.

The second aunt, Xiao Cheng, was so angry that she wanted to beat her but was reluctant to beat her, she wanted to scold her, Zhou Shulan had many reasons waiting for her, and she couldn't speak out against her daughter at all.

"Why do I have such a hard life? I only have this one daughter. I just hope that she will have a better life in the future. Now that she is going to marry into such a family, how can I live? She was also supported by rich clothes and good food since she was a child." If you marry, you have to do the work yourself. I heard that the third child in that family only has a house and no land, so what can I do, you dead girl, you want your old mother's life."

"Okay, it depends on where you are, too!" Mrs. Zheng scolded, "Shulan has such a good ambition, and you taught her well. What's the matter, where are the three obediences and four virtues you learned before? Where is there such a thing in the world?" Reason? Shulan is more sensible than you!"

Xiao Cheng cried: "Mother, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. If she really enters that house, how will she live in the future?"

Mrs. Zheng stared straight at Xiao Dingbang in a domineering manner: "Your own daughter, you can do what you want, I don't care about it!"

Xiao Dingbang also said angrily: "Why did you talk to your mother? I think your women's rings are all for nothing. No wonder you have such a meaning, making others laugh at them. Shulan herself is happy, you are making trouble here What's the trouble? Prepare a dowry for Shulan and spend more time with her, don't you think life is hard over there? Then make up for it a little more, and make life easier for the young couple in the future, crying here all day long Yes, shame on you! Shulan, your grandfather supports you, you are right!"

Zhou Shulan said: "Thank you grandpa and grandma, it's my duty to do this! Mom, it's my fate to be bitter or sweet in the future, and I don't blame anyone!"

The second aunt fainted out of anger, and came back to life, but she still didn't get the support of her natal family, and she would make a fuss after returning home. As a result, Zhou Shulan cut her hair directly, so she didn't dare to make a fuss, and only said that her life was miserable. .

Cousin Shulan, is this right or wrong?Jing Shu thought, you think she is right, but Prince Yong's side is really not very good, not in terms of material, when the second aunt was engaged, everyone knew that Prince Yong's mansion was not good, but the second aunt wanted to make an appointment, Now that something happened, she thought about retiring, but Cousin Shulan's substantive education did not allow her to do so. Is it ignorance? Is it ignorance?

But that's not the case, I really don't know what to say.As far as Cousin Shulan's behavior is concerned, everyone thinks she is affectionate and righteous, but she just thinks that she has done what she should do, a good girl does not serve her second husband.If it is placed in modern or modern times, people will say that she has been corrupted by feudal ideology, and she should resist.But she herself didn't feel it at all.On the contrary, it makes sense.

I can't make sense of it, I don't understand, everyone has their own way of life, Jing Shu has never encountered such a thing, so she can't experience it personally, I can only hope that Cousin Shulan will marry, she will really be happy, after all, she is There is no one who dislikes the downfall of others and marries in the past. This behavior in itself will definitely move the in-laws.But what if the so-called in-law's family saw her rich dowry and wanted to take it for themselves?

After all, their family is no longer good, and now there is a piece of fat passing by, so it would be strange if they don't fight for it, and the third son is not a aunt, and the aunt has to exploit a layer.

Forget it, Zhou Shulan chose the path herself, no one else can replace her, and everyone thinks what she did was right, so what are you worrying about?But why is it so unpleasant in my heart?

The unpleasant feeling disappeared with the arrival of Jingshu's birthday. A few days before her birthday, people gave birthday gifts one after another. Naturally, the grandfather's family gave them a lot. In addition to clothes, shoes and socks, birthday noodles and birthday peaches, there were also Another set of scarlet gold and ruby ​​hair was given to Jing Shu, waiting to be worn in the future. In addition, her grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts, and several cousins ​​each had their own gifts.My aunt, Princess Lian, also gave me a set of emerald jewelry, including earrings, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, which were carved from a piece of rough emerald stone, and the value is self-evident.

Jing Shu likes this set of jewelry very much, it looks very emotional.The two cousins ​​of Prince Lian's mansion, one of the cousins ​​also sent gifts. Cousin Xu Ge'er even wrote a script himself, mounted it, and sent it over, saying that it was only meaningful if he made it himself.Well, Jing Shu admits that what he said is right, but this word is not as good as her own writing.

In addition, the concubines and aunts in the palace also sent things as usual, so I won’t go into details here. The third princess and the seventh prince are also my cousins, so naturally they are indispensable. There are also the married second and third aunts, Although it's not too expensive, but that's what it means. The third aunt Xiao Ning directly made a set of clothes for Jingshu, with a little courtesy and a lot of affection.The fifth prince, King Ping, has not been left behind every year, and everyone is not surprised.

These have to be registered in the book and put in Jingshu’s small warehouse. In the past 12 years, Guang Jingshu’s birthday gifts have been recorded in several books, and even a small warehouse can’t be filled. Qin decided to return them. To open up another house, and then install.

On Xiaofu's own side, since Jingshu won the paperweight last time, her grandfather has given Jingshu paperweights of different materials every year. This year's paperweight is actually ruby, which looks really nice.Jingshu thought, this paperweight is really terrible and expensive.

Grandma moved her dowry to Jingshu bit by bit, all of which were first-class things.A lot of things have been moved in the past ten years.

As for the parents, needless to say, the father gave Jingshu 2000 taels directly as a silver ticket. He really didn't know what to give to make a big splash. He felt that no one had ever given the silver, so he set a precedent.Mother Qin followed Dad and gave 1000 taels of silver. As expected of a husband and wife, they both thought the same thing, and gave Dad face, no more than him.

The second elder brother Xiao Yan brought the fox fur from the border customs, and later used it to make fur coats, as well as various small things from Beisai.

As for the third brother Xiao Luo, he usually gives some gadgets, which are quite unusual, but this time he actually gave Jing Shu a Western-style music box, which is different from modern times. Only those inside can transfer.After all, there was no electricity at this time, but when he saw Jingshu alone, he got a big box mysteriously and said, "This is given to you by His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, thank you for taking care of me last time, I heard It's your birthday, and I specially asked me to bring it back."

"I don't want it, you take it back!" Jing Shu only felt that Cheng Wang's things were not so good to ask for.

"It's nothing at first. If you don't want it, it will become a big deal. King Cheng just thinks it's not good to owe favors. If you accept this thing, it will be settled in the future. Isn't it good?" Xiao Luo Said.

Only then did Jingshu accept it, and asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

Xiao Luo shook her head, "I won't peek."

"Then you go out."

"You won't open it?" Xiao Luo wanted to know what was inside.

But Jing Shu is not as good as he wished, this guy is now only looking forward to the king, and just won't let him see.

"Well, if you don't read it, don't read it. Don't throw things away." After speaking, he shook his head and left.

Jing Shu just opened it, and it turned out to be a pair of chess pieces, but the white pieces were all flawless white, shining with warm light, it is said that someone would make the white pieces out of ivory, could it be like this.

And that sunspot is black with green, I really want a kind of emerald, it can be seen through the light, it is really the best, it seems that the things that the princes gave are not ordinary.

Jing Shu looked at the sunspot facing the light, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be words in it. Jing Shu changed another sunspot, and there were still words through the light. After trying one after another, they all had words. Jing Shu suddenly became a little scared to see this chess piece, because the word on it turned out to be a word for '娜', if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it, think about the last time Prince Cheng came here to heal his wounds It only took more than a dozen days of work, so it will take at least a few months to make this chess piece.

What is this indicating?Could it be that King Cheng was already ready?So what does he mean?Jing Shu didn't dare to think about it, and put away the chess piece angrily, and let someone put it in the innermost part of the warehouse, out of sight and out of mind!
