The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Let's talk about Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was finally taken away, Jia Mu regained her spirit and continued, "Brother Feng, please ask Lian'er to bring a generous gift to the Lin family to apologize."

Everyone was startled since Jia Amnesty.

Jia Zheng even said: "Mother, my brother-in-law really did not care about kinship and ruined our family's reputation by doing this. Do we still have to go to the door and be humiliated by others?"

Tell others to slap the left cheek and then send the right cheek?

Jia's mother was also very dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai in her heart, but she had a clear mind, so she said: "The sages have rewarded my aunt with paintings, that is the holy judgment, and the Lin family has been wronged. Since it is not his family's fault, Naturally, we were wrong, why don't we come to the door now, are we still waiting to be invited!"

Jia Mu is not bowing her head to Lin Ruhai, but bowing her head to the present.Now that the matter has come to this point, the relationship between the four major families and Lin Ruhai has been severed.

What Jia Mu said, Jia Zheng could only bow his head and say yes.

Jia Amnesty wanted to express something in front of Jia's mother, and said: "What mother said is that I also have some paintings and calligraphy styles. Ask Lian'er to send them to my brother-in-law."

This embarrassment is inevitable.

The way Jia and Wang's family responded to this matter was to treat themselves like turtles, shrink back and not move, and prepare to let time wash away the laughing stock on their bodies.

Since the Xue family was attached to these two families, they naturally restrained their behavior and dared not make any further moves.Even Xue Pan was ordered not to go out and mess around in the near future.

Aunt Xue even planned to let him go out of Beijing with those people in the family shop, Lan Zong and others, so that it would be better for him.

As for the historians, the mood is a bit complicated: they belong to the four major families, so they naturally feel the embarrassment.

But at the same time, I was a little fortunate: Fortunately, at that time, Shi Xiangyun's actor incident brought her to the door to apologize early, but it didn't ferment, and she became a laughingstock.

Of course, the happiest place in Beijing is Nan'an Palace.

Finally, someone has become a successor. The embarrassing thing that was thought to be over in a year or two is now rarely discussed.

It's night, Duke Cheng'en's mansion.

Xie Ling is also discussing this matter with his father.

His father, Xie Yuce, expressed his thoughts on this: Shang Duo, it is undoubtedly a pleasure to be friends with him, but it would be a headache to be an enemy.

This person is not only courageous and resourceful, but more importantly, he is also shameless!This kind of person just doesn't take hard and soft. Apart from suppressing him with absolute power and status, there is almost no other good way to crack it.

Xie Yuche even sighed: "I just hope that in the future our two families will not confront each other because of the matter of the crown prince. You often walk in the palace, so you must tell the eldest prince that you would rather stay away from the businessman, and never offend. "

With Shang Duo's current status, he can't decide who can be the crown prince, but he can decide who won't be the crown prince.

If a power like Baoninghou's Mansion is so focused on dragging its feet and putting eye drops in front of the emperor, which prince can stand it?

Xie Ling gave his father a strange look: Since the Marquis of Baoning agreed to marry the Xie family, they are naturally on the side of the eldest prince, so how could the two families be at odds because of the position of the crown prince.

However, it is really inappropriate for the eldest prince to get close to Baoninghoufu.

No emperor would like it. When he is still in power, his son has already returned to the government and the people, and he has become one with his confidants.

How did Xie Yuce know that his son's train of thought had gone astray, so he continued: "From now on, our father and son will be very busy."

"The position of the Jingying Jiedushi has been in the hands of the four major families for many years. First, the two princes Ning and Rong took it. After these two old people, the old sage gave the military power to Wang Ziteng."

"After decades of business like this, if we want to intervene now, it must be a tough battle. It's just that the Baoninghou Mansion has done this for us. If our family can't make things happen, I'm afraid even the empress and the eldest prince in the palace are all implicated.”

It is the mother of a country, and the mother's family must strive to have confidence and face.

Xie Ling nodded solemnly.

Yu Gong and Cheng En Gong's mansion should be the backing of the queen and the eldest prince, and Yu privately, Xie Ling also didn't want to make his father-in-law feel that his father and son are incapable.

If Xie Yuce could read minds, he would definitely ask his son in surprise: Yue family?What Yue family?Where did the Yue family come from?

It's a pity that he won't. At this time, he has changed the topic.

I saw Xie Yuce asking his son: "You have met the third son of Marquis of Baoning, what do you think?"

Xie Ling briefly stated his opinion, and even emphasized Shang Chi's praise.

In his heart, this brother-in-law is kind to him.

Xie Yuce nodded: "As expected, I said that his family's children are not bad."

As the emperor's right-hand men, Shang Duo and Xie Yuchu have known each other for more than 20 years.However, Shang Duo had been away from Beijing for six years, at that time the merchant's three sons hadn't grown up yet, so Xie Yucee didn't know much about it. Hearing Xie Ling mention them one by one today, he sighed that he was indeed Shang Duo's son.

However, these words fell into Xie Ling's ears: she really felt that the daughter of the Hou family of Baoning was good, so the two families made a marriage agreement.

After talking with Shang Chanchan, Xie Ling and his father achieved a seamless misunderstanding in the dialogue.

The aftermath of this matter is not over yet, but I will not mention it for the time being.

It only said that Shang Duo had received the order of the Supreme Emperor to copy the Four Books ten times and returned to the mansion, just in time for dinner, and sure enough the whole family was waiting for him.

Shang Chanchan heard in the palace yesterday that her father was so powerful that she came to the door to toughen Prince Teng. She only hated herself as a daughter and couldn't follow behind to beat gongs and drums.

But after hearing from the Empress Dowager that his father's actions would probably annoy the Supreme Emperor, she was worried about him again.

Now that the whole family is finally complete, Shang Chanchan was the first to ask, unable to hold back, "Is Daddy alright?"

Shang Duo finished talking about today's events one by one, even telling his children about the conversation with Lin Ruhai.

Then he asked Shang Chi to say: "Although I have explained it, I am in a hurry today. You will take your two younger brothers to visit the Lin family in the next day. Our family did this without telling you. It is a bit unreasonable." .”

Jiang Shi complained: "So you never told Mr. Lin? Didn't you just tell him to offend Wang Ziteng?"

Shang Duo grinned: "He was not on the same side as Wang Ziteng. Rather than annoy His Majesty after he hesitates like this, why not come to our side quickly."

Shang Chi nodded: "When Lord Lin rests, I will bring them home."

Then he smiled again: "Speaking of which, my father still wants to reward me."

Shang Duo was drinking a bowl of fresh bamboo shoots and old duck soup, when he heard this, he wondered, "What good thing have you done?"

"Father thinks why Princess Pingning was still in the palace yesterday night?"

Shang Chi smiled: "Ever since the eldest princess made a move to disgrace the noble concubine, although she often went to the palace, she didn't stay there much at night."

"It was me who saw my father go out yesterday morning, so I went to the eldest princess's mansion. This kind of mutual favor, the eldest princess will naturally not refuse."

The eldest princess speaks for Shang Duo in front of the Supreme Emperor, so naturally the Empress Dowager Shang cannot just sit back and watch the noble concubine act as a demon against the eldest princess's mansion.

Unlike Shangduo who is rigid, Shangchi is much gentler and pursues win-win cooperation.

Seeing that Shang Duo was about to speak, Shang Chi continued: "Father, don't worry, with your majestic attention attracting attention, no one will pay attention to me this trip. Besides, I am also extra careful."

Only then did Shang Duo laugh: "I thought I was lucky, so it was you who played tricks."

"Okay! This matter should be rewarded. I will reward you with the emperor's decree. I will reward you for copying the four books ten times."

Shang Chanchan: ...is this a reward?This dad really doesn't make sense at all.It doesn't matter if he cheats others, even his son who has just made meritorious service!

It’s better to be a big brother, always thinking about this family.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shang Chanchan's filter for Shang Chi would be ruthlessly broken by him.

Shang Chi's smile didn't change at all, and he just said, "Father has something to do, and it's right for a son to do his job. It's just that the old sage is still worried. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to know that father didn't copy it by himself?"

Shang Duo was quite impatient: "I'm still busy with official duties every day, who has time to copy this work!"

Shang Chi's smile became more gentle: "Exactly, father is busy with official duties, and you shouldn't do these things yourself."

"But my father knows my calligraphy. It's always mediocre. It's no different from my second brother. I have learned one or two calligraphy in every family. It's even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of my father's calligraphy. I'll leave this matter to my second brother."

Shang Jun, who was eating quietly but was hit by a pot out of thin air:? ? ?

Shang Chi still refused to give up, looking at Shang Ji who was eating meat with crystal delicacies, he continued: "There is also the third brother, I heard from the master that his handwriting really needs some effort, why don't we copy the Four Books more than a dozen times in the past few days , can be regarded as hard work can make up for one's weakness."

Shang Ji suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears, and even the meat tasted bad in his mouth.

Shang Chanchan's hair stood on end, before Shang Chi's eyes fell on her, she quickly pulled Jiang's sleeve: "Mother, mother!"

Jiang Shi said to Shang Chi who wanted to catch all his younger brothers and sisters: "Okay, your third brother is fine, your younger sister is weak, not to mention the homework in the palace is also tight, you just don't want to beat her up."

Shang Ji: Is my status in this family just these two words?

After dinner, under the pressure of his father and brother, Shang Jun had to be ordered to copy the Four Books ten times for Shang Duo all night long.

Seeing his younger brother's back, Shang Chi said, "Father, the second and third younger brothers have also reached the age where they can become officials. Is father still suppressing them from taking the imperial examination?"

Shang Duo nodded: "You also understand your second brother's temperament. He won't get any official career after passing the imperial examination. After all, he will be the Chongwen Museum of the Imperial College, let's say in two years. There is still Ji'er, let's not talk about it, wait for his two Ten, I'll go and ask him for a private job."

Shang Ji: ...Although he thinks he doesn't have the ability of his father and elder brother to be the first in high school, but he doesn't think he will fail!Why do you have to rely on your father to get a job.

Just as he was about to refute, the eldest brother smiled and said: "Yes, I see the temperament of the third brother, just find a position in the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry and stuff it in. Why bother to suffer and go, if it is released Going out to be an official, the third brother has such a simple and honest heart, how can he deal with many things."

Seeing that the father and son had finalized the future careers of the rest of the family while chatting, Shang Chanchan couldn't help giving Shang Ji a sympathetic look.

She figured it out, no matter how gentle Shang Chi's face is, and his wrist is not as rigid as his father's, he is still a man of one's word in essence.

As the eldest son, as the future helm of the Baoninghou Mansion, Shang Chi is actually very strong and decisive, never procrastinating, and his actions cannot be questioned.

Fortunately, Shang Jun's temperament is indifferent and peaceful, with wild clouds and wild cranes.But Shang Ji is extraordinarily honest and gentle, and does not argue about everything.

Otherwise, the Marquis of Baoning's mansion is so prosperous, and the title is inherited, it is impossible to say that there will be separation of brothers.

While Shang Chanchan was worrying and thinking wildly here, Shang Chi suddenly called her name.

Now she respects this elder brother like a ghost, as if she was called by the head teacher before and stood up on the spot: "What did elder brother ask me to do?"

Shang Chi smiled: "You have also been to Rongguo Mansion twice, do you think the masters in their inner house are still smart? Anyway, the men in their family are hopeless."

Shang Chanchan nodded: "Shi Taijun is a shrewd person, and Dafang Lian's second grandma is also a smart person."

Shang Chi thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, Jia Guiren in the palace may not be able to get a blessing in disguise and go further."

Shang Chanchan: Brother, I beg you, don't give the answer directly in the lecture, and list the steps to solve the problem, okay...

"The Taishanghuang is getting old and misses the past more and more. The Jia and Wang families have lost face this time. How can the Taishanghuang not feel sorry? If I were a member of the Jia family, I would take the initiative to lower my profile and go to the Lin family to apologize, and then I would do it for the Lin family. The Marquis of Baoning distinguishes between Beijing and China, and only speaks of their own fault."

"After such a well-behaved move, not to mention that the emperor is not easy to do it, the emperor will feel even more distressed."

"Since the Jia and Wang families are unable to reward due to their mistakes, they can only reward the nobles in the palace—that is not only the daughter of the Jia family, but also Wang Ziteng's niece, and it happens to be used as a reward. It can also be regarded as a beating." Invite the emperor and the upstarts in the court, and tell them that the overlord still relies heavily on veterans. As for this position, it is hard to say the title of concubine, but the position of master of the first palace cannot be escaped."

Shang Chanchan understands: Yuan Chun is going to become a model for the Supreme Emperor to protect veterans.

She became dejected: Could it be that after being busy for a long time, Jia Yuanchun actually benefited in the end?That's really boring.

Seeing that the corners of her eyes were drooping, Shang Chi couldn't help but smiled and nodded her hair: "Stupid child, what does status matter after all? It's about the harem. You watch it every day, and you should understand better than me. Go yourself if you want."

Shang Chanchan's eyes lit up.

Now the businessmen are discussing the affairs in the imperial city, but they don't know that there are also important events in the palace that are closely related to his family.

In the imperial city, the Supreme Emperor was eating in Fengjing Palace.

"It's spring now. In the past, the small kitchen in your palace had the best spring bamboo shoots and duck soup at this time of year. Why don't you see it today?"

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager Shang have been together for decades, and now that their sons have become emperors, the two of them speak more casually, as if they were an ordinary couple.

The Empress Dowager Shang only said: "That's the food recipe handed down from Baoninghou's mansion. The concubine heard that His Majesty thinks Baoninghou is a bandit. The food recipe in his mansion is also suitable for His Majesty's table?"

The Supreme Emperor shook his head and smiled: "It's just that bastard Shang Duo is out of character, and you, as a sister, don't talk about teaching him, but also come to stab me?"

The Empress Dowager Shang couldn't help laughing anymore, so she ordered Bizhu to bring the soup up, and personally served a bowl for the Supreme Emperor, saying: "His temper has been irritable since he was a child, what does your Majesty not know? They say that my nephew is like an uncle." Fortunately, the emperor followed His Majesty's prudence, otherwise if he said that the wind is the rain like Shang Duo, the ministers and concubines would really be ashamed of their ancestors."

The Supreme Emperor had some soup, and after hearing what the Empress Dowager said, he smiled and said, "Forget it, he is also the child we have grown up with since he was a child, and he is just straight-hearted. It's just that the eldest sister is like a mother, so you have to teach him more, and now he is too. Once Zaifu is here, such recklessness is a joke."

Even a saint in this world can't escape the word "love", and the older you get, the softer your heart becomes.

Just like when the prince was abolished and forced into the palace, the Supreme Emperor couldn't bear to kill him. He only thought that his son had been taught to be bad by others, so he just circled him and it was over.

Now that Shang Duo is acting like this, the Supreme Emperor still only thinks that he is a straight person who has one thing to say, not thinking that the twists and turns in his stomach are all nine twists and turns to deceive people.

The Empress Dowager Shang only said: "The concubine is in the harem, so I can't control the front, I just ask the emperor to raise something."

The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Emperor is very good now. He transferred Lin Ruhai back to serve as Minister of the Household Department a few years ago. He knows people well and is not the kind of nepotism."

The Empress Dowager Shang smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, don't tell your concubines about the court affairs."

"Then I will tell you about the family affairs. There are three good men in Baoninghou's mansion. As an aunt, don't just favor the girl's family. You have to consider the details of the marriage for the nephews. Especially the child Zicheng, Now he is 20 years old. Shang Duo is always outside making troubles, how come he is not in a hurry when it comes to his son?"

Zicheng is Shang Chi's character, and it was bestowed by the Supreme Emperor himself.

Now the Supreme Emperor smiled when he thought about it: "Originally, I gave him the word Cheng because I thought that he, as the eldest son, would inherit his father's business, so that he could carry forward your Baoninghou Mansion in the future. Now I hope that he will leave The son inherits the father's nature."

When the Empress Dowager Shang heard about Shang Chi's marriage, she was naturally very concerned: "What is your majesty's favor? In the past, I didn't want to arrange a marriage for Chi'er in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that I'm back in Beijing, it's time to make plans."

The Supreme Emperor coughed twice with a little guilty conscience: "Well, how is Yunrong from Zhongshun's family?"

Empress Dowager Shang's eyes were fixed.

Apart from Prince Yizhong, who has been locked up for the rest of his life, there are two other brothers, Prince Zhongshun and Zhongyong.

Prince Zhongyong is the son of Concubine Xianrong and the biological father of Princess Lirong.

He is very eccentric. He liked carpentry since he was a child. He probably wanted to be a Luban more than an emperor.

At first, some people suspected that he kept a low profile, but after a long time, seeing the prince's carpentry work, everyone believed it. It turned out that a carpenter was really a prince.

In the beginning, how could the Supreme Emperor allow his son to be so idle, he beat and scolded him, but he just couldn't hold back.

As a result, the Supreme Emperor is old now, but he feels that this son has never done anything wrong, but just works peacefully as a craftsman, but he still likes it, and often summons him to the palace to talk.Now the set of rosewood tables and chairs in the Taishang Emperor's palace was made by Prince Zhongyong himself.

For the emperor, it would be even happier to have a younger brother who doesn't like to participate in politics and only likes to do carpentry. Doesn't he just like wood? As long as you don't stare at the throne under the emperor's ass, you can choose all the wood in the world!

Recently, Prince Zhongyong became obsessed with root carving again, and went out of Beijing to find good tree roots after the Chinese New Year.

Because he is obsessed with carpentry, he doesn't care much about others, and Princess Zhongyong has a gentle temperament.That's why Xiao Lirong, whose parents didn't control her very strictly, was indulged so daringly like a hero among women.

But Prince Zhongshun is completely different.

This guy doesn't care about state affairs, but he is especially good at making troubles. He praises singers, raises actors, and recruits cats and dogs all over the capital.

Because he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, the inner house was in chaos.Three or four years ago, the original concubine made him sick with anger, and later became bedridden, and died of illness within a few months, and he had no sons, leaving only the eldest daughter, Princess Yunrong.

In this way, his family became even more lawless. According to reliable sources, the highest record of Prince Zhongshun was that he dragged ten singing girls to his house within three days.

Even if there is a censor to join him, he will not care about it at all-at most he will be called into the palace by the Supreme Emperor and scolded.Anyway, it was his own father, so could he be beaten to death because of the chaos in his private life?

Later, the Supreme Emperor didn't even bother to scold him, and just kept out of sight and out of mind.

Last year, the Supreme Emperor chose another concubine for him, who was the second daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang.Since then, the Supreme Emperor also felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility as a father to this son, so he paid little attention to him.

However, no one in the capital knew that this step-concubine, Feng Shi, was very vicious, and sold all the singing girls Qing Guan raised by the Zhongshun Palace, one by one in order.The straight-forward Prince Zhongshun couldn't stand up in the inner house, but only kept supporting the outer room and actors outside.

Among them was Qiguan, who was a well-known danjiao throughout the capital.

The Prince Zhongshun's mansion is so outrageous, it only suffers from the loss of his mother's Princess Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the dignified prince, and let the stepmother decide that's all.

Therefore, although the Supreme Emperor was extremely disappointed with Prince Zhongshun, no matter how much he hated iron, he was still his own son, and Princess Yunrong was also his own granddaughter.

Seeing that the child is pitiful, his mother is gone, and his father used to describe him like this.A good princess has grown up to 15 years old, and the marriage has not yet been settled. This is not too bad. Now the emperor thinks of Shang Chi.

The Marquis of Baoning's mansion is not bad, and Shang Chi's appearance and ability are impeccable. If Yun Rong promises him, he will naturally be very perfect.

To the Supreme Emperor, Princess Yunrong is her granddaughter, but to the Empress Dowager Shang, only Shang Chi is her nephew!Princess Yunrong has to stand aside.

The chaos of Prince Zhongshun's mansion is well known all over the world, how could she allow Shang Chi, the future son, to marry Zhongshun Prince's mansion!

If Princess Yunrong is a good girl, that's all right, but in the past when this princess came to the palace to pay her respects, her behavior was very cowardly and silent, and her speech was ignorant

Empress Dowager Shang likes girls, but she likes girls who are smart and outstanding.

So when the princess entered the palace to study last year, the Empress Dowager Shang never let her enter the palace on the grounds that the princess Yunrong hadn't left for her mother's funeral, and she was quite old.

The Empress Dowager Shang refused to even educate Yunrong, let alone marry Princess Yunrong to her most outstanding nephew!

Although Princess Yunrong's personality is mostly due to her poor nature, the former Empress Dowager Shang was willing to shed tears of sympathy from the perspective of a bystander.

It's okay to point her to a good marriage in the future.But the premise is that this marriage is not directed to her business!

To marry such a wife to Shang Chi as the clan wife of Baoninghou Mansion, the Empress Dowager Shang could not agree to anything.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Shang has been immersed in the palace for many years, and she knows that she can't directly dismiss the Supreme Emperor, let alone show that she dislikes the royal princess, so instead of being annoyed, she smiled.

"It really is a great grace. That child Yunrong is a serious princess, with a gentle and quiet temper, he is the most gentle. It is His Majesty who loves Chi'er and thinks about him. The concubine thanked His Majesty."

The Supreme Emperor nodded again and again, it was indeed Concubine Shu, who was always caring to him.

How did he know that the Empress Dowager Shang wanted to hit him with a teacup: leave this kind of crap to our merchant!You're so old!

However, Empress Dowager Shang became more gentle: "It's just that these two families, after all, one is the Prince's House, and the other is my natal family, which is different from the others."

"If the decree is made on the spur of the moment, it seems that they don't value them. So the concubine also asked His Majesty's grace to invite the two elders to sit down and discuss it."

"It's even better to ask Qin Tianjian and the masters of Huguo Temple to combine together. Our royal girls, not all fates can be suppressed, so it is best not to get in the way."

The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard to express his agreement, and even praised the Queen Mother Shang: "Back then, I gave you the title of Shu, because I liked your virtuous heart."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be the overlord who bestows the marriage this time, but just a matchmaker. After the marriage is over, I'll ask Shang Duo and Zhongshun to go into the palace to discuss the marriage by myself. Your family is very good. It’s a little bit, but not stupid, how can you disagree. Haha, I’m just waiting to drink this glass of wedding wine.”

The Empress Dowager Shang was smiling from the back, already thinking in her heart that the Empress Dowager should get out and down.

So when the Supreme Emperor was full of wine and food, he lifted his dragon robe and left, and the face of the Empress Dowager Shang was immediately pulled down.

Bizhu hurriedly came up and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Master Hou is not such a person who can be manipulated by others. The key to the palace gate is released today, and in the morning tomorrow, the slaves will send someone out to inform Master Hou of this matter."

Empress Dowager Shang slammed the teacup in her hand on the table: "How to deal with it is one thing, but now I want to know more, who is plotting our business like this behind the scenes!"
