The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Chapter 104 Etiquette Preparations

For Shang Duo, the transfer of Jia Lian's official position was just a trivial matter.

He came here on purpose, mainly for the upcoming Shangsi Festival.

Because there are all concubines in the palace, even if Lin Ruhai is his biological father, he can only sit in the outer room and wait for his daughter to come out to see him.

Shang Duo talked to him about etiquette in detail, and then bragged: "Jijili is my wife in the inner room, and you, a serious father, are outside, so it can be seen that Lingqianjin is from our family after all."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's face pulled down, Shang Duo quickly laughed and changed the subject: He understands Lin Ruhai's mood.If Shang Chanchan and Ji were to be married in Japan, and Xie Yuce dared to come to him and say these words, he would definitely turn his back on the spot.

Now it's just because Lin Ruhai is a gentleman and doesn't get angry easily, so he comes to show off in front of others.

But let it be enough: Lin Daiyu is different from Shang Chanchan.

After all, Lin Ruhai only had this close relative around him.

Fortunately, Marquis Baoning has another topic to come to the rescue: "I was worried about the lack of ceremonies in the big wedding before, and I was afraid that I would wrong Ling Qianjin, but now I can't. The emperor specially promised me that Chi'er's wedding must be beautiful." Light."

"The emperor's disposition is that love desires life and evil desires death. Now it is driving the old sage crazy. This time about our children, he will never back down."

From the emperor's point of view, if his father forced him not to kill people and ransack his home, that's fine, then it's not my fault that I rewarded him with a patent!

Lin Ruhai sighed, "It's not easy for a saint."

In fact, in all fairness, Lin Ruhai didn't think highly of the emperor at first.Papers governing martial arts are not as good as the Supreme Emperor when he was young.

Moreover, the emperor is narrow-minded, let alone not as tolerant as Tang Taizong tolerated Wei Zheng, I am afraid that even ordinary men are not as good.

Just look at how he treats Lu Yushi.

But after several years now, Lin Ruhai has understood some of the emperor's difficulties.

At least the emperor can tell the difference between right and wrong.

Today is the first day of March, Xie Ling entered the palace according to the day to report to the emperor about the affairs of the Beijing camp.

The emperor gave a few words of encouragement, and then said: "I punished my son to copy books in the back hall. It is rare for you to enter the palace now, so go to the back and rescue him."

Sure enough, when the Fifth Prince saw Xie Ling, he was like a monkey unlocked. He pushed the book and said, "I went to pay my respects to the emperor's grandmother this morning, and I met Miss Shang who asked you. Since you are here, let's go Find her."

Xie Ling couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the Fifth Prince dragging him to Zhaoyang Hall.

Only then did Xiao Rang think of explaining: "You don't know, she has been in the mother's harem for the past two days, helping Miss Lin with her wedding ceremony."

When the queen saw Xie Ling, she was very distressed that he had lost weight recently.

Seeing that his eyes were wandering, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "The weather is good these two days. Look, the begonias outside are all in bloom. You and Miss Shang can take a stroll in this garden. Don't worry, I will ask people to follow You are."

Now that the dust has settled on Daiyu's life, the queen is naturally only worried about her nephew's marriage.

So within the rules, I am willing to open the back door for my children.

In the garden of Zhaoyang Palace, two crabapples bloomed very well. Shang Chanchan looked up and saw the flowers and leaves were luxuriant and fragrant. She said, "The crabapple blooms well, which is also an auspicious sign."

Then he talked to Xie Ling about the emperor's promise, and he was overjoyed: "I can rest assured in this way. Otherwise, I will be wronged, sister Lin."

When Xie Ling heard about it, he couldn't help being a little envious of his eldest brother-in-law.His father can't come back, so his business can only hang in the air.

Because Shang Chanchan also heard his father tell some old stories about the emperor, and said with emotion: "It is so difficult to be a prince. I thought that even if everyone can't do whatever they want like the Fifth Highness, it won't cause psychological problems."

Xie Ling shook his head: "Your Highness the Fifth Highness does not do as he pleases. Even he has said 'May the emperor's family never come back to life'."

Shang Chanchan sighed and said: If even the Fifth Prince sighs like this, let alone others.

No wonder the second prince got involved with Zhen Yingjia later, and got mixed up with the rebellious party of the previous dynasty. It must have been psychologically twisted, thinking that since I don't have a good life, everyone will be unlucky together.

Then he expressed his feelings: "As the saying goes, lucky people will be healed by childhood in their lifetime, and unfortunate people will heal their childhood in their lifetime."

Xie Ling:? ? ?

"Where is this common saying?"

Shang Chanchan thought to herself: It's a common saying said by a famous Austrian psychologist.

But on the face, he said with confidence: "You don't care where the saying is, anyway, what I said makes sense."

Xie Ling nodded and said: "What you say always makes sense."

"General Xie is everything safe?" Shang Chanchan changed the subject.

Xie Ling nodded: "Of the three cities that have fallen, Zhuluo City has been recovered. The other two cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and have not yet been captured."

Shang Chanchan was taken aback.

Xie Ling understood where she was astonished, so she explained: "It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm not wrong. What Zhen Yingjia lost was the two that were easiest to defend among the eight Linhai cities."

Fucheng is the gateway to the South China Sea, and Fengshan City is a military fortress.

Both places are quite isolated and very easy to defend.

Let's talk about the military generals of this dynasty.

When the country was founded, the achievements of the four kings were naturally the most famous.

The first generation of Nan'an princes fought their lives on the battlefield and made great achievements through hard work.Then come the descendants, but weasels lay mice, and one generation is not as good as the next.

Among the old ministers who fought with the Supreme Emperor back then, the second Duke Ning Rong was the bravest and most skilled at fighting. The current Nan'an County King Zhou Heng's father is not as good as the two of them.

Among the generals of the next generation, not to mention Xie Yuchu, even the two historians are stronger than Zhou Heng.

Therefore, the king of Nan'an County can only inherit his own title, but the historian can get another Zhongjinghou in addition to Bowlinghou, who has the ability of a double lord.

The reason why the old sage sent Zhou Heng and Zhou Qiong to southern Fujian was not because it was dangerous, but because it was not dangerous.

Martial arts are mediocre and can be defended.

As long as the city of Fu is not lost and the portal is secure, those pirates can only roam about at sea, live in no fixed place, and occasionally go ashore to do things and they can be wiped out smoothly.

However, everything changed after Zhen Yingjia was sent to Fujian by the Supreme Emperor.

The king of Nan'an County is a conservative character, he didn't want to offend Zhen Yingjia, so he simply retreated a bit, and handed over the land near the sea to Zhen Yingjia.

Then it became what it is today.

As a result, Fengshan City and Fucheng, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, became the sites of rebels and two nails deeply embedded in southern Fujian.

"Besides, these traitors have been hiding in the dark before, but now that they have come out, they are frantically starting to make all kinds of troubles, almost in a posture of exchanging their lives for their lives."

"They can burn, kill and loot regardless of the lives of civilians, but my father and the others cannot."

Many of the rebels are remnants of the previous dynasty, and they regard the people of this dynasty as enemies of other races.They often attack suddenly and massacre a village to disturb the audience.

Xie Ling talked about some methods of military encirclement and suppression, but Shang Chanchan didn't listen carefully.

She was worried about another thing.

A Dream of Red Mansions has not been finalized after eighty chapters.However, many people also speculated that the reason why Tanchun married far away was because Nan'an Palace lost the battle and needed a daughter to get married.

So she still reminded Xie Ling: "Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is always unreliable, I, I am worried that General Xie's conquest will not go well."

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Xie Ling asked, "Did you hear anything from the back house?"

Shang Chanchan: ... Xie Ling's question sounds so weird.

Ran finally shook his head: "No, I just said it casually."

Xie Ling comforted: "You probably don't know your father well. He has been in the army for many years. He is not only praised for his bravery, but also for his ingenuity."

"In two days, it will be Miss Lin's wedding ceremony. I heard that you are also busy helping with the preparations, so don't be too tired."

Speaking of this matter, Shang Chanchan laughed and said: "I watched the whole process of Jiji ceremony, the empress thought of a way, and never wronged sister Lin at all."

When she first got the list, she couldn't help thinking: Is this really simple?Not at all!

Because there are outsiders such as concubines and concubines in the inner room of Jili, the arrangement of utensils is not gorgeous, and most of them are simple and expensive.

Shang Chanchan called it low-key luxury: no jewels, resplendent and resplendent things, so as not to be talked about.

But it is by no means to deal with it hastily.

With the financial resources of Empress Dowager Shang and Empress Xie, one can make a face for her daughter, and the other can make a face for her nephew and daughter-in-law.

And three days in advance, that is, starting from today, the Wufutang, which is preparing to hold the ceremony, has already started mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people to carry out activities.

From the hall to the gate, there are eight or one hundred lamps, which are lit day and night, which are called scattered lanterns.Also known as San Xiaoren, it means removing ominousness.

At the same time, the master of the Huguo Temple was ordered to burn incense and worship it here, calling it Shunxing, which means that the auspicious star shines brightly.

Shang Chanchan was in high spirits, and continued: "Not only that, but when the day comes, there will be a program."

Although singing, dancing and colorful clothes are prohibited in the palace, Empress Dowager Shang was ingenious and thought of other fun.

After the Ji ceremony was over, Daiyu personally sprinkled the golden leaf fragments on the high ground, calling it the golden fragments flying all over the sky.

The palace people who ordered the palaces to come to greet An and congratulate stood below and watched.

The forehead of the person who falls into the palace with gold flakes is called the forehead of the golden flower. Anyone who receives the point will be rewarded, which means being blessed.

Shang Chanchan could have expected that once this incident happened, everyone in the palace would know that the Mingjia county lord was favored.

This is a gift, it seems that the queen mother has put a lot of thought into it.

After sharing it with Xie Ling, Shang Chanchan laughed and said, "When I first met, I thought His Royal Highness Fifth and Princess Lirong were good at hunting birds in Bibochi, but who knew that my aunt was the one who would do it. "

Moreover, these two activities are all in the name of praying for the illness of the Supreme Emperor, and others can't say anything.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Chu said sourly, "Fake public affairs for personal gain."

Unfortunately, no one paid attention.

After the Taishang Huang and his elders had a grudge against the Empress Dowager Shang, at first they also wanted to show more kindness to the Empress Dowager Chu and let her suppress the Shang family.

I summoned him twice more.

But the Empress Dowager Chu couldn't speak, and the Supreme Emperor was sick and anxious.

Instead, the relationship between the two became more tense.

So although the Empress Dowager Shang lost the heart of the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager Chu did not gain any benefits.

Now that the Empress Dowager Shang and the Empress want to do this, the words of the Empress Dowager Chu will not work at all.

Even the emperor also raised his hands in agreement, and said: "It's not good if the palace is deserted every day, and it's good to have some happy event to cheer up the father."

The golden mouth and jade words, the final word.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the emperor's heart is to please the Taishang Huang, or it's better to kill the Taishang Huang.

Therefore, under the secret operation of the bigwigs in the palace, Daiyu's consecration ceremony can only achieve "hardship and simplicity" in name.

Shang Chanchan smiled and said, "This is called buns with meat not on the folds."

Xie Ling heard all kinds of weird words from her, so she didn't take it seriously.

He only said: "It's simple in name, but in the end it's a bit grievous. When you come to Ji in the future, everything must have calmed down, but it's easy to do it."

Shang Chanchan said casually: "It's not certain, maybe I just happened to be in time for the national funeral, so I wouldn't even be allowed to do it."

Xie Ling: ...Why don't you wish for yourself to be better?
