Kido

Chapter 133

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he still respected his aunt and biological mother and became the queen mother as usual.Empress Xu is honored as Empress Dowager Duanxian, and Concubine Liang is honored as Empress Dowager Duanrong.His first wife, Zhuo's family, was canonized as a queen, and she was in charge of the Liugong.

Although the new emperor ascended the throne, there was no chaos in the court affairs, and everything was orderly.Because although the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he has been in charge of the army and supervised the country for a long time when he was the prince, and most of the government affairs of the court are under his control.

In September, Shen Mai, the general soldier of Guizhou, quelled the Miao chaos and returned in triumph.The emperor was overjoyed and returned Shen Mai the title of Marquis of Dongchang, "Qing's original Marquis Mansion cannot be taken back." The emperor laughed and said, "Princess Shou Rongchang's mansion has been vacant for a long time, and it is only one street away from Nanning Marquis Mansion. , to reward you." Shen Maile agreed.The mansion that has been idle for a long time is good, and it is slowly being repaired. Ah Chen and I are still living in Nanning Hou Mansion, with my family, Ah Yu.I really can't bear to leave Ah Qi.

For a while, the noble ladies in the capital envied Mrs. Nanning Hou to death.Her three sons have two hereditary titles of Marquis!The more clever thing is to ask clearly, "The eldest son, Shen Chen, grew up with the Marquis of Dongchang, and will definitely inherit the mansion of the Marquis of Dongchang in the future. The second son, Yuechi, was given to Marquis Jingning since he was a child, and now he is in the Marquis of Jingning's mansion. They live there. The youngest son, Zhang Yi, will be the son of Nanning Marquis."

Zhang Xie is in his early twenties, working in Jinyiwei, with a bright future ahead.The most important thing is that he is handsome and unmarried!Ladies and wives who have daughters to be married at home are all warm in their hearts.The Marquis of Nanning not only has titles and real power, but is also rich and powerful. All the men in his family are clean and self-sufficient. They only have their first wives and no concubines.This is so rare in a wealthy family.Man, Tian Sheweng collected two tans of extra rice and wanted to buy a concubine.

There were quite a lot of guests who came to the Marquis of Nanning to congratulate him, and there were also quite a few people who asked Xie Yu about Zhang Yi's marriage either openly or secretly.Xie Yu smiled tactfully, "Actually, it's already decided. But the daughter-in-law is still young, so we have to wait."

The fifth day of October is the birthday of Empress Dowager Duanrong.Both the inner and outer wives entered the palace to congratulate.Empress Dowager Duanrong looked back on such a luxurious birthday, and felt very proud.During the dinner, the Empress Dowager Duanxian kept calling her "Sister", and the Empress Dowager Duanxian called her "Sister" politely with a decent smile on her back.

Empress Dowager Duanrong is now the most honorable woman in the Celestial Dynasty, she behaves and speaks very differently from before, even Queen Zhuo doesn't look down on her. "Sister, do you know that the Zhuo family has just encountered a big problem." The Empress Dowager Duanrong said with a smile: "Isn't there a boy in the Zhuo family who is not married, and he even let out rumors saying that it is not appropriate to marry early. Bah! What, the Zhuo family is looking for a superior Miss, other girls look down on the Zhuo family!"

The Zhuo family is a family that Empress Dowager Xu hates.Empress Dowager Xu asked calmly: "Which girl has such a high vision?" It's unreasonable, there is a girl in the Xu family who wants to marry, but the Zhuo family doesn't want it.

The Empress Dowager Liang was happy, "Sister-in-law of Princess Hanshan, the seventh girl of the Xie family. Sister, you said that the Xie family was unlucky, but you offended the new queen's natal family as soon as you came up. From now on, the life of the Xie family may be difficult. The seventh girl of the Xie family, whoever marries her will be unlucky." Marrying her is offending the Zhuo family and the queen.The empress and the emperor have an extraordinary relationship, the emperor favors the Zhuo family and the empress very much.

Empress Dowager Xu smiled and said: "If someone knows the root and the bottom, she will definitely not dare to marry." Whose family marries a daughter-in-law to bring disaster to the family?If everyone knew about this secret, the seventh daughter of the Xie family would not be able to get married.

Empress Dowager Liang glanced at a noble lady not far away, "Sister, Mrs. Nanning Hou is really in the limelight." There was a sense of gloating in these words.You are the empress dowager, but you have nothing to do with Nanning Houfu!The Nanning Marquis Mansion has been prominent for these years, and now there is another title, so I can't accept it.

Empress Dowager Xu's face was deformed.The new emperor sent Shen Mai to calm the chaos, and he made it clear that he wanted to give Shen Mai credit.Who doesn't know that although Shen Mai was the commander-in-chief of Guizhou, it was actually Shen Chen who fought the war.The emperor was against himself. He knew that the Xu family and the Shen family had an enmity, but he wanted to praise the Shen family.

If the person sitting on that chair was Xiao Jiu, his own son, would he still have to worry?If she said to clean up the Shen family, would Xiao Jiu dare to say "no"?But Ade, he has never been close to himself. The one he is close to is the one who was buried with the late emperor.

Empress Dowager Xu's liver hurts even more when she thinks of the real Jingxiao who was buried with the late emperor.I was welcomed into the palace with the ceremony of Empress Yuan, but when I came, the first emperor even gave me a place in the title!Immortal Jing Xiao was posthumously named Empress Xiaomin Jingxian Chunyiyuan after her death, sharing the same cave with the late emperor.Empress Yuan, she is Empress Yuan, what has she become?
Can't compete with the first emperor, can't compete with these people in front of you?But I dare not interfere in government affairs.He used dirty tricks behind his back, but there was no one in the Xu family.In the harem, Zhuo's flattery is her own mother-in-law, and she respects her own mother-in-law, but in reality, she has to stay behind.

The Empress Dowager Liang said with great interest: "The youngest son of the Hou family in Nanning has become a favorite. I heard that any family with a daughter is interested in Zhang Yi. Sister, tell me, what kind of wife can Zhang Yi marry?"

Mrs. Xu's face was calm and calm, "Who knows." She quickly thought, the seven girls of the Xie family, whoever marries will be unlucky, and whoever marries will offend the Zhuo family!That kid Zhang Xi hasn't been engaged yet, if he marries the seventh girl of the Xie family...?Do you still use yourself to deal with them, the Zhuo family will take action!
The noble ladies at the banquet were capable people who could see all directions and listen to all directions. They all noticed that Mrs. Nanning Hou and Mrs. Xie Tongzheng were invited by the maids to meet the two empress dowagers.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Empress Dowager Xu asked gently: "The third son of the Zhang family has not yet engaged, and the seventh miss of the Xie family has not yet married. The Ai family is here to be a matchmaker. I wonder if you would like it?"

The third son of the Zhang family, the seventh miss of the Xie family?During the banquet, many ladies were surprised.Miss Xie Jiaqi is a concubine and the sister-in-law of Miss Zhang's family!The identities don't match well, and the address is even more confusing, how can such a marriage be done?But Empress Dowager Xu spoke in front of so many people, how dare a courtier disobey her.This can be difficult to die.

Fourth Mrs. Xie was in a daze.Xiao Qi married Zhang Xi?Xiao Qi is married to the prince of the Hou family, who should I, Jin'er, marry?Jin'er was supposed to get engaged in April, but it was postponed because of the national funeral.After the national funeral, Xu Shangshu's father died of illness in his hometown, and Xu's family has returned to their hometown of Dingyou to observe their filial piety, so Jin'er's marriage has not yet been settled.Empress Dowager, isn't it embarrassing for you, if you really want to get married, and the elders and children are orderly, it should be Jin'er.

Mrs. Xie Si was still there, and Xie Yu had already received the order to thank her, and she fully agreed.Xie Yu secretly gave Mrs. Xie a push, and Mrs. Xie came to her senses and thanked her, "What the queen mother is looking for must be a good marriage."

Back at the banquet, Xie Yu didn't hide anyone's back, and told Mrs. Xie Fourth with a face of shame, "The empress dowager's kindness, I really can't refuse it. Xie's family is a rich family of poetry and etiquette, and the dog is really high-ranking. The title is all according to Come with Xie's family, and after Quanzi and Ling'ai give birth to a child, they will call the little girl aunt." Don't let Xie's family feel embarrassed.

Are they all called after Xie's family?Everyone at the banquet listened and looked at each other. "Famous people are honorable and inferior", don't underestimate fame and status. Since ancient times, the Chinese dynasty has valued rules and paid attention to ethics.Long is respected, young is humble, and you can never go wrong again.Madam Hou of Nanning was able to say something like "the address is all according to Xie's family", it was not ordinary generosity, it was very generous, so generous that it was almost pedantic.

Mrs. Qi, the wife of Jingning Hou Shizi, was also present.Others may not know, but doesn't she know her sister-in-law?The surname, title, and title that ordinary people pay attention to are worthless in the eyes of Xie Yu.As long as the favorite daughter-in-law can marry back home, what is the title?Qi's stomach is darkly happy.

Mrs. Fu, the wife of the Duke of South Korea, frowned, "Ah Yi gave birth to a baby and called Ah Yi an aunt? How can this be done?" There is no such thing as humility.The same is true for Xie Yu, if you don't go home to ask your father-in-law or husband-in-law for instructions, you will say such words recklessly, which is too reckless.

During the dinner, two wives also kindly reminded, "Yes, Mrs. Zhang, you discussed it with Zhang Houye and Shen Houye when you went home, but you didn't talk about it again." It's not easy to refute Empress Dowager Xu's face, so I reluctantly agreed.That being the case, there is no need for the Nanning Houfu family to suffer.

Xie Yu smiled, "I have always been in charge of this kind of thing, and my husband doesn't care about it. My father, as long as there is drinking and fighting, it will do anything." But such a small matter, there is no need to go home and discuss it.

Everyone couldn't hide the envy on their faces.They may dislike Mrs. Nanning Hou's not being noble enough, and perhaps not being virtuous enough, but Xie Yu's magnanimous attitude of being the master of the family is really enviable.

Fourth Mrs. Xie forced a smile, "I am different from Mrs. Zhang. I have to go back and ask my in-laws and husband."I haven't ordered you to address me as the Queen Mother, so I dare not make my own claim.How many women in the world can be as expert as Mrs. Nanning Hou?Xiaoqi, you will have such a powerful mother-in-law in the future, and you won't be under her control.Poor little Qi.

The birthday banquet is not over yet, and this freshly baked good news has already been banned from the palace. "Xie Tongzheng, congratulations!" Fourth Master Xie, who was always very suave, was stunned for a long while before politely cupping his hands in thanks.After that, he stayed for a long time before sighing, "The Holy One is benevolent and filial."

From top to bottom, the Secretary of General Administration sympathized with him.It is said that the concubine's daughter is going to marry into the Xuanhe Hou's mansion, but Xie Xun is such a fairy-like figure, how can he be surprised.Xie Xun's son has already married a daughter of Zhang's family, and her daughter remarries as Zhang's wife. It's like exchanging marriage with a poor family, who would like it.Don't say anything else, how do you call it?What do adults call each other, and what do you call a child after giving birth?It's a mess, it's a mess.

But this marriage was proposed by the Empress Dowager Duanxian, and it would be impossible if she didn't agree.Empress Dowager Duanxian is the aunt's aunt, whom she respects very much.The sage is benevolent and filial, it is unavoidable for a courtier to occasionally be angry with the empress dowager.Xie Tongzheng, it's hard for you.

After getting off the yamen, Zhang Yu came to pick up Fourth Master Xie on a tall horse, "Wan Hong, go drink." Such a big happy event, of course, is only reasonable to have a good time to celebrate.Many people in the Department of General Administration recognized Zhang Yu and congratulated him with a smile. Zhang Yu smiled and cupped his hands, "This marriage is the empress dowager's golden words, so we can't delay it. The wedding date is set in the twelfth lunar month. Please do yourself a favor and come and have a drink." Wedding wine."
