Your daughter's strategy

The general direction is set, and the capital begins to observe the funeral with peace of mind. If there was a national funeral before, everyone might fish in troubled waters and have some fun in secret, but now no one dares to be presumptuous, and they all use the excuse of the national funeral Hiding at home and not going out, for fear of finding someone's bad luck, the capital fell into an unprecedented tranquility.

It wasn't until the end of March, when the national funeral was over, that everyone had been dormant for so long, and seeing that the situation in the capital had gradually stabilized, they began to go out. At the same time, the etiquette of enshrining the new emperor began.

Wang Borang of Ancheng County, 19 years old, ascended the throne as emperor, changed his year name to Ankang, conferred the title of his birth mother, Concubine Kang, as Empress Dowager, the first empress was the Empress Dowager Mother, Concubine Zheng Xiang was the Empress Dowager Mother, and his younger brother, King Anqing County, was King Jing, Anyi County The king is Yi Wang.

In March, the grass grows and the warblers fly. This is supposed to be a day for families to go out and enjoy the flowers, but there are few people in the capital to have fun. The new emperor ascended the throne, specially opened Enke, and selected civil and military talents. Everyone focused their attention on this place. Above, after all, once the emperor and courtiers, the new emperor also wanted to promote a group of talents for his own use. Xu Jinghuan was accused of being the chief examiner, and he hadn't returned home for more than ten days, and he lived and boarded in the Hanlin Academy.

Xie Zhilan was discussing with Mrs. Xu with her five-month-old belly. Two days ago, Prince Rui's concubine Zuo Shi gave birth to a son. Looking at Xie Zhilan: "You have a big belly now, don't worry about this matter, let Jingyi handle it."

Xie Zhilan smiled and said: "It's so delicate, I listened to my aunt, although I don't plan to make a big deal, but having a baby is a happy event after all. I want to set up two tables at home and invite relatives and friends to get together. Please ask the old lady to show her respect."

Old Mrs. Xu smiled: "I'm getting old, I don't have to go to provoke people, it's better to make small clothes for my great-grandson at home."

Xie Zhilan pursed her lips and smiled, pulling the old lady Xu back: "Auntie said, I must invite you to appreciate it. If you don't go, it's boring, let's talk about it. Auntie also said that you are very lucky, and I would like to ask you to give it a try." pressure."

Mrs. Xu was peeling oranges beside her, and said with a smile, "In that case, the old lady may as well go for a walk."

Mrs. Xu could only nod her head in agreement, and said, "Where's Miaoyun? Tell her to go too."

Xie Zhilan smiled and said: "Miaoyun and Jinghan are tossing those two peach blossom trees together. They said they will make peach blossom wine."

The old lady Xu looked very gentle: "Yes, I have to do it in previous years, but this year I forgot about it."

Standing in the corridor, Xu Jinghan was a little worried: "This year's peach blossoms are stained with blood and hostility, I'm afraid it's not good."

Xu Miaoyun said: "The peach blossoms outside are not good, but these two plants in my yard are clean, so I'm not afraid of bad things."

Xu Jinghan nodded.After seeing the girls buried the jars, they went back to the house to drink tea.The partitions on all sides are wide open, and the windows are also opened. The spring breeze blows into the room, making people feel sleepy, but Xu Miaoyun enthusiastically directs someone to send the freshly dug jar of plum blossom wine to the kitchen, saying Going to make some snacks.

Xu Jing was curious and followed to see.I saw that she made steamed cakes with bright red plum blossom stuffed with glutinous rice flour, and cut them into small cubes.Like a crystal clear garnet, the plum blossom is mixed with honey to make a transparent red paste, which is poured on the glutinous rice cake.

The glutinous rice cake's original sticky texture combined with the smooth plum blossom stuffing is extra sweet, and the plum blossom has a strong aroma. It was a bit astringent at first, but with a lot of honey added, it is very sweet and delicious.

Xu Miaoyun carefully selected small sweet white porcelain painted red plum dishes, each containing five pieces of snacks, just broken into the shape of plum blossoms, and asked someone to send them to Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xie Zhilan, Yan Jingyi and others, and called The man packed two boxes and asked the mother-in-law to send them to the Su family: "Give it to the eldest sister, she hasn't come back for a long time."

Xu Jing smiled and said: "I heard that Mrs. Su has entrusted her with the housekeeper's affairs. How can she come back free, but it's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we come and have a look?"

Xu Miaoyun shook her head: "My brother doesn't ask me to go out recently, let's talk about it after my brother is busy."

Xu Jinghan remembered what the old lady Xu said by chance: "Although the emperor said that we have a marriage contract with our Miaoyun, but after that incident happened, Miaoyun went to the temple to clean up, and the queen mother gave her a title, so I'm afraid I can't enter." palace.

However, the queen mother and the emperor insisted on letting Miaoyun enter the palace. If she can't be a queen, what will she do in the palace?Jing Huan then said that Miaoyun was not in good health and could not enter the palace to accompany him, but it seemed that the emperor meant that Miaoyun was the only one. "

Xu Jinghan's heart was also slightly darkened. If the incident of Princess Fangyu hadn't happened, Miaoyun would be a serious queen now, but now not only is the Queen Mother bestowing the name Qingxiu Jinghe Xiangu, but she is also burdened with the burden of infertility. The possibility of heirs, among other things, the test of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs cannot be justified. If she enters the palace as a concubine, the second elder brother will absolutely refuse. Nor did she want to make her grovel to another woman.

Just like Concubine An, the former emperor was so beautiful when he was there, but when the first emperor died, the empress dowager immediately disposed of her. I'm afraid no one would even know where the body was, but it would be different if it were the empress. , is there anyone more noble than her in this world?

Xu Jinghan looked at Xu Miaoyun who was eating snacks heartlessly, and sighed secretly.

After another seven or eight days, Xu Jinghuan finally came back. Yan Jingyi helped him to freshen up, and at the same time told him about going to Ruiwang's mansion for a banquet in two days. It's good to serve, but as for Miaoyun, it's better not to tell her to go out."

Yan Jingyi said: "The old lady has sent a message to ask Miaoyun to go too. If she is not asked to go now, the old lady will definitely ask." She was a little worried: "Is there any gossip outside?"

Xu Jinghuan wiped his face, changed his clothes, lay down on the rocking chair by the window, and drank tea comfortably: "It's not that I'm afraid of gossip, the emperor will go to Ruiwang's mansion that day, and he will be dressed in tact, if we meet in private Miaoyun, what do you think I should do?"

Yan Jingyi couldn't help laughing, if it was an ordinary person who met her sister privately, it would be easy to punch her, but the opponent was the emperor.It is impossible to beat or scold.

Xu Jinghuan said: "The emperor left me to talk today, and he also talked about the appointment of the queen, but this is not something I can do with a nod. What's the use of asking me? I can't afford to provoke or hide ?”

Yan Jingyi smiled and said: "That being said, I'm afraid that Miaoyun won't follow me. These days, I've been at home listening to my husband's words. Even Jinghan didn't agree to see my aunt and grandma. She's so obedient, so she's looking forward to going to Prince Rui's mansion. Now Husband doesn't ask her to go, I'm afraid she will be unhappy."

Seeing the mention of Xu Jinghan, Xu Jinghuan was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Tang Yiran pulling him to ask Xu Jinghan to marry him, and thinking of Yang Minzhi, feeling a little helpless.Yang Minzhi has been promoted to the position of Zuo Dudu of the Dudu Mansion of the Fifth Army, temporarily in command of the military power, and is very popular.

Although the Yang family of Duke Yun's mansion belonged to Duan Wang's party, they were very knowledgeable. Duke Yun entered the palace in person dragging his sick body, weeping bitterly and repenting.With such a low posture, the emperor couldn't say anything.In addition, the Yang family didn't have any great prospects, so they kept ignoring it.

Therefore, although Yang Minzhi has a high position and authority, he is still a concubine of the Yang family. Now Duke Yun regards him as a savior, not to mention the separation of the family.

I heard that Yun Guozheng recently proposed marriage to Yang Minzhi, and wanted to use the marriage to completely keep him.Although Yang Minzhi didn't agree, he also wanted to start a family.Xu Jinghan, I really really made a mistake.

In order to prevent Xu Miaoyun from going to Ruiwang Mansion, Xu Jinghuan specially disclosed to Xu Jinghan that Yang Minzhi was going to get married. Taking care of Xu Jinghan, Mrs. Xu also agreed.

On the day when King Rui's Mansion hosted the full moon wine, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu took their two daughter-in-laws to Prince Rui's Mansion. Only Xu Jinghan and Xu Miaoyun were left at home. The bedside came up with an idea: "I'll invite Aunt Cao and give Aunt Cao a message. As long as Aunt Cao agrees, Yang Minzhi will definitely agree."

Xu Jinghan shook her head: "If grandma knows that I insisted on posting it, she will definitely be pissed off. If you don't respect yourself, others won't respect you even if you are married."

Xu Miaoyun thought about it distressedly, and said: "How about we talk to Yang Minzhi in private, if he knows that my sister likes him, he will probably come to propose marriage right away."

Xu Jinghan still shook her head: "This is too disrespectful, and he may not be willing."

Xu Miaoyun was depressed and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't care about the rules. I would just run up to him and tell him that I like him and I want to marry him. Let him figure it out." Xu Jing smiled wryly, and Xu Miaoyun said: "Zhen That's what Zhen did, don't tell me, she is usually delicate and weak, but she has the guts to frighten that guy named He Lansheng."

Feng Zhenzhen is Feng Yiquan's only daughter. Originally, Feng Yiquan's plan was to recruit a son-in-law, but somehow Feng Zhenzhen fell in love with He Lansheng, a distant relative who came to the Feng family to seek refuge. Married, Feng Yiquan was half-dead with anger, but in the end, Master Feng came forward and said that if He Lansheng got the honor in the exam, he would talk about the marriage, and he pushed the matter down.

Xu Jinghan looked sad: "I don't have her courage."

Xu Miaoyun said: "It's human-made, sister just being sad is not the way to solve the problem."

She thought for a while, and said: "My daughter is going to get married, and recently I have to rush out to play before she gets married. I asked her to post a post to Yang Minzhi, and we will go together when the time comes. How about letting Yang Minzhi see how my sister is doing?"

Seeing her racking her brains to help herself, Xu Jinghan was very moved, but instead of continuing to be sad, she persuaded Xu Miaoyun not to mess around.

Over there, Mrs. Xu saw a child who had just reached the full moon in Prince Rui's mansion. She was white and fat, and she was very envious. After listening to Princess Rui, the son of Prince Rui named this son Donglin, and Princess Rui smiled with her grandson in her arms. From ear to ear.

Those present who had daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law who didn't make any movement were envious. The daughter-in-laws felt uncomfortable when they were compared, especially Yan Jingyi, who had been married for almost a year, but there was no movement on her body.

Because Xu Jinghuan is the only child of the second family, the old lady Xu hopes that she will be pregnant even more than Xie Zhilan, but Xu Jinghuan gets up early every day before dawn, and lights up the lamp to read at night. In this way, the husband and wife spend very little time together, let alone the children.

Yan Jingyi is also introverted, so she is too embarrassed to take the initiative to say something to keep her husband. Mrs. Xu looks at her more anxiously every day, and she is also anxious, but there is nothing she can do.

After returning from Prince Rui's Mansion, Xu Jinghuan was not busy with any serious business. He drank a lot of alcohol and drank sober soup and sat on the porch lost in thought. Yan Jingyi didn't dare to disturb her. Xu Jinghuan didn't come in until dinner time and said, "Go to grandma's for dinner."

Yan Jingyi's eyes darkened, and she responded in a low voice.

In fact, the Xu family doesn't have so many rules, Mrs. Xu loves Jing, even if everyone eats what everyone else eats, it doesn't matter, but as long as Xu Jinghuan is at home, he will go to Mrs. Xu's for dinner. This is a matter of filial piety to the elders, and Yan Jingyi can't object .

With Xu Miaoyun here, Old Madam Xu's place is still lively. Madam Xu said that she met Tang Nannan and Feng Zhenzhen in Prince Rui's Mansion today, and she was very disappointed to see that Xu Miaoyun didn't go. Xu Miaoyun smiled: "If they miss me, come home That's it." Then he said, "Have you seen Big Sister?"

Mrs. Xu smiled: "I guess I'm busy at home, but I haven't seen her. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a while. I'll ask someone to ask and ask her to come back tomorrow."

Seeing Xu Jinghuan and his wife coming in, the old lady Xu said: "Jing Huan should take a good rest after being busy for so many days, stay at home with your wife, busy every day, I look thinner."

Xu Jinghuan said with a smile: "Where can I be free, there are a lot of things in the yamen."

Mrs. Xu was a little dissatisfied: "I can't finish my work, but if my body is exhausted, why do I have to pay for it? If you don't listen, I will go to the yamen to ask for leave for you. Don't they know how to do things without you?" ? You, have the same temper as your grandfather, and love to take care of everything."

Xu Jinghuan had no choice but to say yes with a smile. Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes and asked Xu Jinghuan with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law is going to have a little nephew. When will you give birth to a little nephew? I promise to love him well."

Mrs. Xu nodded along the way, and said: "Jing Huan is not young anymore, it's time to have a child, you two should take this matter to heart."

Seeing Yan Jingyi blushing and lowering her head, Xu Jinghuan agreed with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun went to bed very early at night, but she was lying on the bed thinking about Xu Jinghan's matter, who would have encountered the same thing in Huineng Temple again, someone knocked on her window in the middle of the night, Xu Miaoyun probably guessed who it was and hesitated After a while, he quietly opened the window, and it was indeed him.
