The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 100

This tough battle lasted for three months, and the eldest son of the emperor was finally defeated and captured because of an accident with food and grass. Then there was a appalling purge. Hundreds of them were tossed and turned in the imperial prison, the eldest son of the emperor gnawed at random, the Xu family, the Gui family, the Yang family, and the Qin family were all identified, the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood several times, and the chaos continued until March of the 25th year of Zhaoming, when the emperor gave him death As far as the eldest son of the emperor is concerned, this chaos seems to be coming to an end.

I don't want to think that only in April, the emperor passed away suddenly, the crown prince succeeded to the throne in a hurry, and immediately began to continue the trial of the previous treason case. The letter firmly resigned from the position of governor of Jiangnan... The positions of several heavyweights have changed, and the government and the opposition are almost in the midst of continuous small earthquakes.

It was so easy for the Grand Master to go to Beijing to become a great scholar, enter the cabinet to participate in politics, the governor of Jiangnan is temporarily suspended, and the governors of the three provinces perform their duties. The concubine was also conferred, and the hero who protected Qingtian was also rewarded... After entering this autumn, the court gradually stabilized, and it took on the appearance it should have in this bright and prosperous age.

"The emperor will change the yuan next year, and the emperor will definitely take some actions in personnel affairs." The hospitality hospital opened at night, and the second master and the elder master had a few drinks before they started talking, "I will tell you the truth, brother, this Imperial Academy has already I’ve been working for more than ten years, and I’m getting a little bored…”

The eldest wife praised Brother Min again, "You must have undertaken this task—I know your father, how can he be so careful? You child, you are becoming more and more capable in world affairs! Just don't forget that studying is important. ..."

In the autumn of the 24th year of Zhaoming, there were three brothers in the second room, but the youngest brother Hong won the exam, and the two brothers were both famous.

After a lively supper, everyone went to rest. In the early morning of the next day, Brother Min settled in three or four clean and pleasant cleaning trucks, loaded everyone together, and headed for Beiping—the box cage However, he had already gone to the route to be watched by his trusted housekeeper, and went to the city to settle in the house. The two brothers Da Ge and Hong Ge were in the city to prepare to meet him.

Although the walk was slow, Tongzhou was not far from Beiping after all, but for most of the day, Chaoyang Gate was already in sight.

Although the heavy curtain was lowered, the voices outside the car gradually became louder.Qiniangzi and the eldest wife were in the same car, but it was difficult to lift the curtain to peek out at the street view, but she didn't want the eldest wife to raise the corner of the curtain, pointing to Qinianzi, "This crispy shop outside the Chaoyang Gate is The most famous one is that there are so many in Sijiu City that people come out of the city early to eat, just a bowl of clear syrup, and two salt and pepper crisps... Ai, from the princes and nobles, to the hardworking Kuhaha, everyone eats this for fun!"

When Qiniangzi looked carefully, it was just a small street vendor on the roadside outside Chaoyangmen. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell that this shop was fragile, and its reputation had spread into the deep boudoir.

"Look at the alley next to Chaoyang Gate next to the city gate? Walking in there is a time-honored brand of steamed buns, two of which are worth a pound, and they are definitely a bit sweeter than other places." The eldest wife was hooked. Tan Xing, the car drove all the way, talking about the street scene for Qin Niangzi, "I like to eat steamed buns from this shop since I was a child, but the business is so good that I can't buy them if I don't hurry. I have to go around the entire imperial city when I come here from Yongfang when I was young. …At that time your grandmother was still alive, so she was afraid of spoiling me, so she sent her family to get up early and come back half an hour early to give me a taste of it because she was afraid of spoiling me."

The eldest lady's voice became quieter again, she took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyelids, "Later your grandmother passed away, the second sister was married, and the third sister was in charge of the house, I looked at the third sister and loved me, so she clamored for food, and the third sister simply They sent people out to buy it every day, and within half a month, they terrified me!"

When she mentioned the past when she was a child, she couldn't help laughing again, "Going into this pork alley is like God's blessing. It has been a time-honored brand for many years. It is the most famous for pork head meat. It opened in the morning, and by noon, there is no one that can't be sold out."

He also pointed to Seventh Lady, "When I entered the city just now, it was Chaoyangmen Street, and this was Chongwumenli Street. The city of Beijing is square and square, and the names of the roads are best to remember. This turns into Zhengyangmen Street again. Zhengyangmen The main street is the busiest. Look at your side, go in and cross Qipan Street to see Daqin Gate. That’s Liubu, Dudu’s Mansion, Yanyunwei...the yamen are all in this area, around the root of the imperial city, you When my father went to court in the future, he had to go through Zhengyangmen Street and Donghuamen to enter the imperial city—the most lively place in the imperial city. Although Yongfang was not as convenient as Qingqingfang and Mingzhaofang when he was young, it was still good. The location is great. All the princes and ministers live here, and your uncle of the Qin family lives just outside the two alleys. Unfortunately, the two brothers and sisters are both in mourning, so it is inconvenient to see each other often..."

Emperor Qin had two sons in total. The eldest son was originally a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the second son was the magistrate of Xi'an. Because of the death of Emperor Qin, the second son had already returned home, but the eldest son was taken away. The relationship between the emperor teacher and the emperor must be promoted after the first month of the first year.

The eldest lady babbled all the way, "This is Xuanwumen Li Street, the old alley of Li Ge - Li Dongyang of the former dynasty lived in this alley, and it will be just around the corner..."

Qiniangzi has seen a secluded alley, there are not many people in the alley, only the red door at the east entrance of the alley is locked, and a row of horses is tied at the west entrance of the alley. The copper nails on the red door are shining brightly. It is already in and out of the carrying cage——

She knew this was her new home.

Although Erfang spared no effort to help, moving is a trivial job after all. The eldest wife just arrived, and she didn't care about washing and changing clothes, so she took the list with Seventh Lady, and took the same inventory with Mommy Yao, Mommy Liang, and Mommy Wang. The thin and soft cage—fortunately, it was not lost, and the furniture that had been brought over by the ship was arranged clearly, and then Qin Niangzi was sent back to wash.

Of the three courtyards, the eldest master naturally occupied the outer courtyard and the east and west courtyards, the eldest wife occupied the main courtyard, and the two aunts were respectively placed in the side courtyards. It is considered to be in good order, but so many things brought from the south of the Yangtze River have to be brought in, and the two courtyards in the backyard are inevitably full, so there are still many expensive furnishings that have not been put out. ——Everyone knew in their hearts that they lived in this small courtyard because the old man wanted to hide his strength and bide his time, and he didn't want to be an excuse for his colleagues. Once they got their feet on the ground, they would change places.

As for every inch of land in the capital... just a joke, even the second house that only ate the big house bought a big house in Da Shiyong Fang, the big house would be short of this little money?

It's just a mansion bestowed by the emperor, and it's hard to justify it if you can't stop it. If you don't stand firm on your heels, it's not easy to act in a high-profile manner for a while...

Or because of such a tacit understanding, the eldest wife has no intention of tidying up the house. First, the servants have already oiled the four walls, and seeing some new houses, she no longer picks and chooses, but just After dinner, I took Qinianzi to look at the map of the capital, and wanted to choose a house in Sijiu City.

This is a trivial task. Although the seventh lady has great patience, she felt a little sleepy after watching it for a short time, so she led the eldest wife to stop choosing a house and asked the eldest wife, "Is it time to write a post for relatives and friends?"

The eldest wife quickly thought of it and asked the elder to ask for a post: it is a custom in the capital that for a family that has just arrived in Beijing, it is often necessary for the husband and wife to write greeting cards by themselves, and the respectable servants will come to the door one by one to send the greeting cards, which is considered a complete ceremony.

The elder has already settled down in the outer courtyard, and within half a day, he sent over a stack of newly written invitations, which were nothing more than relatives of the Qin family, Xu family, and Sun family, as well as colleagues from the Jiao family and Lun family. The wife then ordered Qin Niangzi to write the greeting card for her while flipping through it.

This is a job that Qin Niangzi is familiar with. She lowered her head and just wrote a few lines when she heard the eldest lady let out a sigh.

When she raised her head, she saw the middle-aged lady, with a half smile on her face, handing over the greeting card in her hand.

"It seems that the older your father is, the more impatient he is." The eldest wife smiled, and neither anger nor joy could be seen on her face.

Qiniangzi took a closer look, only to realize that on the inscription, the elder did not give an official name, but a hall name.Although the four small characters of Baoxintang Yang are soothing, the pen is written in a hurry, and the pen is sharp. It is obvious that when writing these words, there is anger in my heart.

For more than a year, despite the ups and downs in the court, the inner house of the Yang family was very comfortable, and Qin Niangzi also lived a comfortable life rarely.

It's just that as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he couldn't even sit on his buttocks. The man in the outer house seemed to want to stir up a little trouble in the inner house.

Seventh Lady took the red-skin invitation card from the eldest lady and began to think carefully.
