Your daughter's strategy

Chapter 71 Confession

I used a "should", but I still didn't say anything.

Mrs. Yan San said, "Master Yang, is the midwife you mentioned named Chen?"

Yang Min was taken aback, and said, "Exactly."

Mrs. Yan San said: "In order to silence her, my mother-in-law bought her a [-]-acre farm and told her that no matter who asked, she would say that her birthday was the sixth day of June. I don't know if Master Yang gave it to her. How much?"

Yang Minzhi said: "50 taels of silver."

50 taels of silver is quite a lot, but compared to a farm of one hundred mu, it is still insignificant. It is not enough to look at. It is reasonable for the midwife to lie. Yang Minzhi quickly bowed his head and pleaded guilty: I have been deceived, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

The queen mother smiled and said: "It's not your fault, you go on and say, who else did you meet?"

Yang Minzhi was very straightforward this time: "There is also a little girl who swept the floor in Yan Kefang's yard 16 years ago. She said that she once saw Yan Kefang having a private meeting with a man in the middle of the night. According to the description, she looks very similar to Prince Duan. Someone once met Prince Duan on the street 16 years ago. Because of his extraordinary demeanor, he could tell that he was not a local, so he had a deep memory. The most important evidence was the jade pendant that Prince Duan took out. Several old servants of the Yan family have met in Yan Kefang's hands."

The queen mother looked at King Duan without saying a word, but King Duan knew it well, he asked someone to go to Jiangxi to find out the bottom of Yan's house first, the matter of the jade pendant was true, but it was not his, probably It belonged to Yan Yucheng's own father. He just asked someone to ask about the style of the jade pendants and made a pair of them.So there is no need for him to bribe him at all in this matter, anyone who asks is ironclad evidence.

The most important thing is Yan Yucheng's date of birth, was he born in April or June?Is it too late for him to change his words now?If there is a difference of ten days and half a month, it will be fine, but if there is a difference of two months, there is no way to get away with it.

Duan Wangye once again regretted, why did he come up with this idea after listening to Du Ling, who has no brains, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger!

The emperor looked at King Duan with hatred, and the queen mother sighed leisurely.Said: "Forget it, don't force it at all times in your life, Dongzhen, you are reckless in this matter, how can you not separate the flesh and blood of others for your own selfish desires."

Duan Wang mumbled and dared not speak, and the emperor scolded angrily: "You bastard! I even coaxed me over. Tell me to follow you and shame me!"

Duan Wang said again and again: "Father forgives the sin, the son did not lie, there is such a thing, maybe it is not necessarily the wrong person."

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family would like to ask you, is Yan Yucheng your son?" Duan Wang hesitated and said: "My grandson has a wrong memory, maybe he is not."

The Queen Mother suddenly laughed.Everyone was stunned, the queen mother pointed at Yan Yucheng and said, "You monkey. Tell me, were you born in April or June?"

Yan Yucheng was stunned, and the queen mother snorted, "Even Ai's family can see that something is wrong. Yan Yucheng was born in June, Dongzhen, you told the truth after being cheated by others. Doubtful. Now I’m sure, Yan Yucheng is not your son, right? How can I not be sure about my son’s birthday? This is too absurd.”

This is really a turn of events!

Duan Wang's face turned purple.Pointing at Yan Yucheng, he couldn't speak, and finally passed out. Although King Ancheng couldn't bear the pain in his stomach from laughing, but seeing that King Duan passed out, he hurried over to help him up: "The emperor What's wrong with Uncle? Quickly ask someone to pass on the imperial physician!"

The emperor also glared at Yan Yucheng, but the queen mother said: "Your Majesty, don't lose your temper. This child is clever, and Ai family likes it. Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan, don't kneel down. I don't blame you. The Emperor is not allowed to convict me. Feeling inappropriate, I can see that he is defrauding Dongzhen, but the emperor just didn't see it."

The emperor was also very embarrassed, and Master Yan San kowtowed: "Please forgive the empress dowager, please forgive me for loving my son."

Mrs. Yan San also said: "I have no status. The emperor please forgive me. Yucheng is the heart and soul of my wife. I really can't bear it. That's why I made this bad plan."

King Ancheng watched the little eunuch carry King Duan to the side hall, and when he came back, he said hurriedly: "Grandfather, old ancestor, don't blame them. This bad idea was thought up by grandson, and grandson is also afraid of the emperor's uncle." I was fooled by the people below, after all, the royal blood cannot be confused, anyway, the truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true, who knows if Yan Yucheng is true, if the emperor's grandfather is angry, he can just punish his grandson."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "I'm still smart by Bo Rang. This is right. If it's true, it can't be fake, and if it's fake, it can't be true. Let's just forget about it. It's useless to frighten Lord Yan and Mrs. Yan. Your Majesty needs to comfort her."

What else could the emperor say, his mother had to obey what his mother said, and the eldest grandson couldn't bear to punish him, so he had to agree, rewarded a lot of things and sent the three members of Yan's family out of the palace, and poured all his anger on Duan Wang.

When King Duan came up with a bitter trick, he was clever. When he woke up and saw the emperor glaring at him, he confessed his mistake in tears, saying that he was middle-aged and had no son. Luo Ren, this matter was easily revealed.

The King of Ancheng County sent the three of Yan's family out of the palace, and said with a smile on the way: "Yucheng is really clever. I just said a word and he acted accordingly. Mrs. Yan's words are also very good. If I didn't know it in advance, I'm afraid I would believe it." up.

Yan Yucheng proudly said: "After all, he is rushing to be my father, but I don't care about being his son. I have to thank the county king for this."

Master Yan San had no choice but to lie with him just now, and now he was walking around at the critical moment of life and death. Seeing that Yan Yucheng was still so flamboyant, he couldn't help being furious, and said, "Nie Zhan, you dare to say anything if I don't expose your skin when I go back!" He sighed again: "This time I offended King Duan severely, and I don't know what to do in the future."

The king of Ancheng County comforted: "Don't worry, Yucheng has fallen into the eyes of the ancestors. When the time comes, I will help to beat the side drum and let the ancestors call Yucheng into the palace to talk. Don't talk about the emperor's uncle, even the emperor's grandfather will not dare to do anything." of."

Master Yan San was very grateful and couldn't stop thanking him, but Mrs. Yan San just held Yan Yucheng's hand, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

When the group left the palace, Xu Jinghuan happened to be waiting outside.Everyone came to Xu's house. When talking about the ups and downs here, Mrs. Xu was also dumbfounded. Xu Jinghuan laughed and said: "Miaoyun's joke turned out to be true, and really coaxed Duan Wang."

Everyone praised Xu Miaoyun for his quick wit, but Mrs. Xu said: "It's better not to let others know, otherwise it will be another crime in the eyes of King Duan. King Ancheng said it was his idea, but he didn't like it to the outside world." Just say it was his idea."

Third Mrs. Yan nodded repeatedly.She also knows the severity.

This farce soon ended with Duan Wang's silence, no one dared to go up to ask what happened, Duan Wang was not happy, went up to find it uncomfortable, but Du Ling who came up with this idea was secretly taught by Duan Wang, It is impossible to appear in the capital in this life.

Yan Yucheng returned to Yan's house.The Yan family also became more and more low-key, for fear of falling into the eyes of King Duan again, but Yan Yucheng, as Prince Ancheng said, won the favor of the Queen Mother, entered the twelfth lunar month, and began to talk about the New Year.The taste of the New Year in Beijing is getting stronger day by day.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the queen mother even specially called Yan Yucheng into the palace to drink Laba porridge.Yan Yucheng was sweet and talkative. Although he was domineering, he couldn't help the Queen Mother liked him. He stayed in the palace for a day, but Yan Yucheng wanted to go home, so the Queen Mother let him go, and praised Yan Yucheng in front of the emperor and queen: "This child has a The heart of a child. Not bad character, but also very filial. None of my great-grandchildren, from Bo Rang to Shu Ning, can talk and like him."

The Empress laughed and said: "The Empress Dowager likes it, just ask her to come to the palace to talk." The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's a pity that the family background is a little lower, otherwise I can be assigned to Taining, it is a good marriage."

The queen laughed and said: "Taining's temper, we should find someone who is softer, otherwise the two of them fight every day, how can we live this day."

The Queen Mother also loves Taining, so she immediately defended herself when she heard the words: "I think Taining has a very good temper, how can a princess be pleasing to the eye? People in Taining are not domineering and have ideas, which is just right."

The empress followed the empress dowager's words and coaxed her over. The emperor sighed behind his back, and the empress persuaded: "The empress dowager likes the one who celebrates Chinese New Year, so why bother to make her unhappy?"

The emperor is also a dutiful son, and for the empress dowager's happiness, this matter will be left alone.

The Xu family was also very busy. Four of the five children were married. The Xie family, the Yan family, the Su family and Kang Wang's mansion all gave generous gifts. Just returning these gifts took the old lady Xu a lot of thought. Marrying a daughter with one's head up and marrying a daughter-in-law with one's head down, the Su family and Prince Kang's family only returned the gift according to the old rules, but the Xie family and the Yan family added another gift, in order to marry someone else's daughter and save face for others.

In fact, Mrs. Xu had overthought. For the sake of Yan Yucheng, the third wife of Yan completely regarded the members of the Xu family as her own children. Although it was the king of Ancheng who helped Yan Yucheng, the king of Ancheng was not Everyone will help, not because of Xu Jinghuan and Xu Miaoyun. King Ancheng knows who Yan Yucheng is?

Therefore, Mrs. Yan San was very grateful to Xu's family, but she didn't dare to get close to Kang Wang's mansion, fearing that people would gossip, even Xu Jinghuan entrusted Xu Jinghuan to forward the gift of thanks to King Ancheng.

Everyone in the Xu family has their own errands, but Xu Miaoyun still learns the rules from Grandma Xu, and Grandma Xu talked about the New Year's rules along the way: "The first day of the new year is to worship the ancestors. When the time comes, all kinds of rules and etiquette, I'm afraid that if you don't eat or drink, stand and kneel and make trouble all day, the girl should get used to it as soon as possible, not to mention the New Year, even the major festivals on weekdays cannot avoid sacrifices, but the New Year is more grand."

He also taught Xu Miaoyun a lot of tricks, such as how to kneel to look better and save effort when kneeling, how to stand to look slim when standing, how to stand for a longer time, and kowtow, but also pay attention, said: "to When you kowtow, there is no cushion for you, and you can’t be light when you kowtow, which makes people feel disrespectful, and you can’t be too heavy. When you raise your head, your forehead is covered with dust, which makes people laugh.”

Xu Miaoyun thought it trivial and complicated at the beginning, but she was smart, and she quickly remembered the tricks. She slowly pondered the experience on weekdays, but she understood it more thoroughly. Therefore, although Madam Xu taught many things, she didn't Feeling very strenuous, this surprised Madam Xu. When she entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen mother, she would inevitably praise her. Anyone who met such a student would not be able to help but boast. I look forward to it even more.

After the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Madam Xu stopped classes, saying that she would come back after the Lantern Festival next year, Mrs. Xu had noticed the changes in Xu Miaoyun, and she was very grateful to Madam Xu, thinking that giving red envelopes was too tacky , I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Xu Nanny's eyes.

Thinking that Nanny Xu was alone, and it would be deserted if she wanted to come for the New Year, she tried her best to invite Nanny Xu to celebrate the New Year at Xu's house.She also used Xu Miaoyun as an excuse: "There are a lot of things during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid this child will go crazy, so I need Xu Momo to remind me."

Nanny Xu also knows the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Who doesn’t want to be lively during the Chinese New Year, and she also celebrates the New Year outside the palace, with cold dishes and cold bowls. Coupled with Xu Miaoyun's obsession.So she agreed with the situation, and said that she would go back and settle down the group of people in the house first, so Mrs. Xu asked someone to clean up a yard for Nanny Xu to live in.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mother Xu entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and said a lot of good things for Xu Miaoyun. The Queen Mother liked it more and more: "I really want to see you soon."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "The queen mother has to wait to see her great-grandson and daughter-in-law? If you like, you can invite Miss Tang, Miss Xie and other girls into the palace to talk with you. Firstly, it will be lively next year, and secondly, Miss Xu will be mixed in. It's not eye-catching, you also saw your grandson and daughter-in-law, it's also a gift to each family, isn't it killing three birds with one stone?"

The queen mother was really happy, and said with a smile: "Songlan is clever after all." She also asked someone to pass on the message.Called Princess Fangyu, Princess Furong.Xie Zhilan, Tang Nannan, Tang Yanran, Feng Zhenzhen and Xu Miaoyun entered the palace together to speak.

The Xu family didn't panic when they received the decree, Xu Miaoyun even matched the clothes by herself, Mother Xu said that the queen mother is getting old.I like how girls dress up beautifully, so I wore a new pink jacket for the Chinese New Year.The rose-red beige embroidered with roses, the goose-yellow skirt, a pair of gold hairpins with butterfly love flower hairpins on her head, and pear-shaped ruby ​​pendants hanging from her ears, are very gorgeous, and make Xu Miaoyun's bright eyebrows and teeth even more beautiful, The skin is snow-white.

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied, and didn't give any more instructions. She just asked Dangui who was accompanying her to pay attention to the rules.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun got into the carriage and left, Xu Jinghuan suddenly became sad, thinking of the younger sister who didn't know the world and kept pulling him to act like a baby, and sighed: "Miaoyun has really grown up and is going to fly away." Very sad.

This is not the first time Xu Miaoyun has entered the palace, and it was summoned by the Queen Mother. Xu Miaoyun didn't feel nervous, but at the gate of the palace, he met King Ancheng who was talking to Tang Yanran, the daughter of Tang, and King Ancheng came out of the palace to meet the Tang sisters Then she stopped to talk, she didn't expect to meet Xu Miaoyun, seeing Xu Miaoyun's attire also moved her heart, she felt that the white plums became red plums, but they were even more charming.

I want to see, in front of the sisters of the Tang family, she was afraid of being impolite, and if she avoided her, she was reluctant to gossip, but Tang Nannan talked to Xu Miaoyun: "You rarely dress so gorgeously." Xu Miaoyun said: "Nurse Xu said that the Empress Dowager is very disciplined and should dress up solemnly."

Tang Nannan looked at her well-proportioned bright red trousers, nodded and said, "That's true."

After a while Feng Zhenzhen and Xie Zhilan also arrived, Prince Ancheng couldn't stay any longer, so he hurriedly left, and several young girls entered the palace together.

Princess Fangyu and Princess Furong have arrived. Princess Fangyu is sitting in front of the queen mother and acting like a spoiled child. Princess Furong is sitting on the chair below silently. The maid said that all the girls have arrived. The queen mother smiled: " Please come in quickly."

The five young girls were like five flowers, the more the Empress Dowager looked at them, the more she liked them. After the ceremony, she first pulled Feng Zhenzhen and Xu Miaoyun to look at them: "They are really pretty." .

Feng Zhenzhen was cowardly and timid, that's all. The Empress Dowager focused her attention on Xu Miaoyun. She was dressed very gorgeously and well-behaved. One could tell that it was taught by Nanny Xu, but the monkey hanging from her waist plucked it. Tao's suet jade pendant betrayed the child's heart.

The Queen Mother asked a few words, and seeing Xu Miaoyun's calm answer, she liked it even more. As the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, the most important thing is to be dignified and calm, so that she can set an example for the younger sisters-in-law.

Tang Nannan looked at the queen mother holding Xu Miaoyun with a smile, and said: "The queen mother will not love us when she sees Miaoyun."

The queen mother laughed and scolded: "Monkey, just talk about it, have you been naughty recently? When your mother entered the palace to pay her respects, she sighed again."

Tang Nannan blinked her eyes: "Mother always compares me to Sister Yanran, so naturally she is going to sigh."

Tang Yanran also laughed: "If you excuse yourself, don't drag me, it has nothing to do with me."

The queen mother was very happy to see the noisy people in the room, and the snacks and fruits were served like flowing water. Princess Taining also ran over to play, and the whole room was laughing and laughing. Xu Miaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen sat together, but they noticed Princess Furong.

Princess Furong looks very ordinary, and she is also taciturn. Xu Miaoyun can't help but think of Prince Lian and Princess Lian, the humble father, humble mother, and humble daughter. This family is really strange.

Princess Fangyu was much more lively, she was tired of being in the Queen Mother's arms, but she was smart, she didn't stab Tang Nannan in front of the Queen Mother and Tang Nannan, and Tang Nannan naturally didn't take her seriously.

After talking and joking for a while, the queen mother gave many gifts. After all, she is getting old, and she will take a rest for a day after being busy for a while. Everyone didn't dare to tire her, and they all retreated very interestingly. On the way out of the palace, Tang Nannan insisted on watching What is in Xu Miaoyun's purse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Imperial Garden, a little eunuch ran over out of breath: "Concubine An, please go and talk."

Princess Fangyu said familiarly: "Since it is grandma's invitation, everyone should go and say hello."

Xie Zhilan was the biggest in the group, she answered with a smile, and the girls naturally followed behind.

The Yihua Hall where Concubine An lives is very luxurious and gorgeous, with glazed tiles, golden walls, jasper bricks, and crystal curtains. Princess Fangyu happily ran in to say hello: "Grandmother."

Concubine An Guihe laughed and looked at the girls below, but Xu Miaoyun kept her mother Xu's teaching in mind, lowered her head, looked respectful, and did not even glance to the side.
