The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 302 Ermei settles a lifelong event
A few years ago, the relationship between the emperor and the empress could not be called disharmony in the eyes of outsiders, at most it was inharmonious.But with the increase of newcomers, the contradictions in the harem became more and more obvious.More people began to covet the post, but Xiaozong turned a blind eye to this. Even after the concubine's excessive behavior, Xiaozong would use continuous favors to show his support.

Any woman, when her status is in danger, will resort to unexpected methods.The queen's most important bargaining chip is the fourth prince. In the harem, any woman who can give birth to a son is destined to become the queen's target.

Xue Baochai's entry into the palace was not accidental, it was the result of the joint efforts of Jia, Wang, and Xue, and it was also the last effort made by the prince Teng for the family when he was dying.From the day Xue Baochai entered the palace, the Queen's gaze has been on this young girl for a long time.

The queen and Xiaozong have been husband and wife for more than ten years, so they know very well what the emperor likes about a woman.Xue Baochai is different from the fifth prince's biological mother in appearance, but her gentleness, way of speaking, and even a few small habits are exactly the same as that Miss Ouyang.

The queen is not someone who just sits and waits to die. In order to avoid future troubles, she ordered the people in the imperial dining room to add sterile aconite decoction to Xue Baochai's meals.With a small dose and a few supplementary foods, Xue Baochai will completely stop thinking about having children in just half a year.

This is also an important reason why Xiaozong was determined to abolish the empress.

Xiaozong really fell in love with Xue Baochai.

The daughter of the imperial merchant may not be impossible to become the next queen.

Gradually entering April, Meilian's marriage is nowhere near the end of Mio's marriage.After Song Chen and his wife separated the house, Master Shangshu gave the eldest son of the housekeeper to Song Chen as a helper.This housekeeper's son is better than blue, and he manages the outer courtyard clearly, which doesn't bother Xiuyan at all.

Meilian is the most useful person around the young mistress, and the housekeeper's son is Song Chen's right-hand man. The two of them communicate frequently every day, and they develop feelings for each other unconsciously.The housekeeper's son solemnly went to the inner courtyard to kowtow three times to Xiuyan, and then wrote a list of his family fortune to show to the young mistress, hoping that Xiuyan could fulfill their lovers.

Of course Xiuyan is happy to see the results, her only concern is that she is afraid of Mio's embarrassment.

Of the three subordinates that Song Chen invited that day, Xu Canjiang was the most sympathetic person, but Wei Canjun and Zheng Canjiang were the real companions.During these days, Song Chen almost didn't tell Xu Shenjiang directly about this matter, but the other party didn't know whether he was really confused or not. Every time Song Chen mentioned this matter, he was at a loss.

However, General Wei did not give up. After Song Chen and his wife moved to Dongyi Hutong, Mrs. Wei came to the door frequently, just to see Xiuyan.

After Meilian's marriage was settled, Xiuyan quietly asked Song Chen to choose a reliable husband among the small officials in the capital.But this approach is not stingy with finding a needle in a haystack.Although there are many officials in the capital, most of the small officials with a stable future are descendants of aristocratic families, and they only want to slowly climb up after a few years of experience. Their families will not want their children and grandchildren to marry a maid.She has no family background and relies entirely on her own hard work. She is either too old or arrogant and wants to marry the emperor's princess.

Mio also gradually became a little discouraged. When she was in spring, she was bored doing needlework in the house, and she refused to step out of the door easily. For big and small things, she only asked Bai Fu and Cui Mei to replace her.

Xiuyan felt uncomfortable, secretly called Meilian's fiancé, housekeeper Xiao Song, to send a message to General Xu Shen, asking him to come to the mansion soon to talk.After going out for half a day, the housekeeper Xiao Song hurried back with an ugly face, and said as soon as he entered the door: "The young mistress ordered the young one to go to work, but she just arrived at Xu's house, and she came out to treat guests as a female relative, and she looked like she was in her early years. After inquiring, I found out that she is General Xu's child bride-in-law, and she has been taking care of General Xu's parents in Suicheng. This time, she is going to Beijing to get married."

Xiuyan's face darkened: "Did you get it right?"

Housekeeper Xiao Song hurriedly said: "It's not wrong. I know that grandma is all about sister Mio, so I inquired carefully. The child's bride-in-law will not be in Beijing for more than three days, but General Xu Shen has ordered him to nurse her." The mother handed over the power of the family to the other party. General Xu Shen's wet nurse suffered a serious illness and is still recuperating."

Xiuyan sneered: "Your third master will misunderstand the person one day." She also told the housekeeper Xiao Song to keep the secret, not to mention that no one is allowed to mention General Xu's name at home.

Song Chen loved his wife the most, and he didn't give General Xu a good look for a long time after that.Xu Shen didn't know what to do, no matter how hard he worked, he could only get Song Chen's light praise.General Wei and General Zheng gloated, but they also saw the position of the third young mistress in their hearts.

That's all for General Zheng, and General Wei immediately dispatched the big maids in the room after he went home, and only the servants were required to do the close service.Seeing her son's firm attitude, Mrs. Wei once again brazenly came to see Xing Xiuyan.

The Wei family is completely different this time from the previous ones, showing their sincerity in marriage.If you marry, you will marry as the young mistress of the family.Mrs. Wei even brought a piece of Bodhisattva jade pendant, on which was carved a picture of a lady, the brushwork was rough, but the heart was very deep, the most important thing was that the lady was three to four points similar to Mio.

Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "Our young master carved this with his own hands. The technique is a bit rough, just to show his sincerity."

Xiuyan didn't take the things, and she was not in a hurry to ask someone to take them to Meiying to see, but suddenly said that she would go to Yongji Temple to eat vegetarian food in three days.Mrs. Wei grinned from ear to ear, instinctively believing that the matter was half successful.

The abbot of Yongji Temple was very grateful to Xiuyan and Song Chen for his great support at the end of the new year. When he learned that their young couple came to worship the Buddha, he immediately ordered the Huotou monks to cook the most delicious vegetarian food.Mrs. Wei hurried over with her son.Everyone knew the intentions of the two families, and they all created opportunities to ask Mio to visit each other.

General Wei Shen was handsome, and Mio was soft and beautiful. Standing together, they could definitely be called a pair of lovers.

After returning from Yongji Temple, General Wei visited an alley in the east more frequently, seven out of ten times Mio served tea and water.Some of General Wei's friends guessed his intentions, and they all felt that his brother was worthless, and some even laughed at General Wei for being short-sighted, thinking that if he flattered Song Chen, he would be able to reach the sky in one step!
Wei Shen will not pay attention to it at all, until those friends have seen the bride on his wedding day.They all beat their feet and chests one after another, secretly calling for flowers to be stuck on the cow dung.Flowers are the bride, cow dung is General Wei.

It was also heard that Mr. Xiao Song's favorite candidate at the beginning was General Xu. Many people laughed at General Xu for not knowing how to seize opportunities, and for nothing to make such a good thing cheaper for others!
