The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Shang Chanchan still had to go back to the palace to study after her annual leave.

She didn't even need to ask about Shang Chi's communication with his parents after the Shangyuan Festival, just look at Jiang's car ride into the palace with her today to know the ending.

So she just pestered Jiang and asked: "Mother came to the palace, is she going to tell the queen mother about elder brother's marriage?"

Jiang gave her a sideways look with a smile: "You understand these ghost ideas. Forget it, I can't control you, it's your father who is used to it - no one in the capital is like our family, this marriage is called ahead of schedule for your children Got it and went."

Other families were ordered by their parents, but their family turned it around, and it was all the wishes of their children. Marquis Bao Ning and her formed a team.

Now the couple are splitting up: Jiang went to the Queen Mother to report the matter, while Shang Duo went to Lin Ruhai to formally propose their children's marriage.

Shang Chanchan asked with a smile, "What did elder brother say?"

Jiang patted the back of his daughter's hand lightly: "The more you talk, the more energetic you are? You like to inquire like this, so go ask your elder brother yourself."

Only then did Shang Chanchan shrank her neck and fell silent.

The lines of laughter on Jiang's lips could not be hidden no matter what.

The eldest son's marriage is not a heart disease for her.

Old Princess Beijing has a close relationship with the Jiang family, and she even spoke for Shang Chanchan in the past.The old concubine was originally a gentle and dignified lady, but now she was forced to become a Xianglin wife by her son's marriage.

Ever since the Jiang family returned to Beijing, whenever the two met, the old concubine would complain: Beijing Wang has a lot of concubines and concubines, almost all comers are welcome, but she is not sure about getting married. .

The old prince passed away long ago, and there is only one seedling in the Beijing Palace. How can the old princess not worry about the inheritance of her descendants? Every time, the old princess will always have a heavy heart, fearing that her son will also be determined not to marry.

Now Shang Chi himself finally spit out, and praised Daiyu: "In the houses of relatives and friends far and near, all the boudoirs are beautiful, and I haven't seen anyone who can match it."

Although the merchant's immediate descendants are thin, there are still many relatives and friends. Shangchi has naturally seen some boudoir women when he was young, let alone heard of them, and they are even more numerous.

Because there is no one who has knowledge, talent and love, he feels that he is not as comfortable and clean as being alone, so he has been procrastinating and refusing to get married until this Shangyuan Festival.

Jiang Shi only felt that something important was on his mind, everything was bright these days.

It's just that this joy can't be announced to the public at the moment, which makes her feel a little regretful about going out in brocade clothes at night, so she can only use the excuse of giving various rewards to the servants of the family during the Chinese New Year. Everyone in the Marquis of Baoning knows that Madam is in a good mood recently.

Besides, after entering the palace, Shang Chanchan originally wanted to go to Fengjing Palace to listen, but Jiang just said angrily: "Read your books carefully, there are so many."

So I drove my daughter to Mingjingtang to study.Only the Queen Mother came and went by herself.

A few months ago, Marquis Bao Ning had plans for Shang Chi and Shang Chanchan's marriage, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he never reported it to the Queen Mother.

Only now did Jiang tell the Empress Dowager about the two marriages.

The Empress Dowager Shang couldn't help laughing and said: "It can be seen that the red line of the old man is destined to be unmistakable - if you come two years later, I will almost seal the marriage between Yu'er and Xie's boy! If this is the case, wouldn't this palace become a sinner who messed up the love story?"

No matter how frightened Xie's family was, this was the first time Jiang heard about it, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did your empress make such an idea?"

The queen mother was very interested: "You don't know how much the queen likes Yu'er, so I thought that asking Yu'er to marry into Xie's family is the best of both worlds." Speaking of this, she called Bizhu again: "Go in person, and get the best of both worlds." The queen invited her here and told her that there is a big happy event here in the palace."

Seeing that Bi Zhu had gone, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "My wife knows that the empress treats Yu'er like her own daughter, so she will not be willing to let others go easily. Later, the empress will speak good words for our family."

Empress Dowager Shang nodded: "Chi'er is my nephew, can I not turn to him? Besides, his character does not wrong Yu'er, no matter how you think about it, you are a couple."

He also said: "The empress is reluctant, so is this palace willing? Chanchan has been raised in front of this palace for a long time, so she gave them the Xie family like this! Besides, the Xie family boy is so taciturn, it just makes people feel bored, it should be us Embarrassing the queen is."

Jiang smiled: "The minister's wife and Lord Hou also have the same heart, and they are not willing to give up their daughter. So in the past few years, they have not prepared to make a clear decision. It's just that the two families have a tacit understanding with each other. After all, the identities of Cheng'en Gongfu are different. "

That is the eldest prince's mother's house.

After all, the Empress Dowager Shang was once an empress dowager, so her political vigilance was still very high.

As soon as he heard something in these words, he put away the joy of his children's marriage for the time being, and only asked solemnly: "So the family is optimistic about Jin'er in matters of the country?"

Jiang's also restrained his face and replied: "The master said that it is not up to the courtiers to discuss the matter of the country. However, the second highness and the third highness have already shown their sharpness to our house."

After a pause, he said cautiously: "Master said, if you hesitate any longer, you may end up with Wuding Cooking in the future."

The Empress Dowager Shang was immediately annoyed, and couldn't help but slapped the table and said: "You bastard! He dares to say anything! They are all relatives of our own family, why is this!"

Five cauldron cooking is a torture that will not allow a good death. Once Shang Duo said this, wouldn't he become life and death enemies with the second prince.

After all, the second prince is her own grandson. In the future, he will only look at the emperor's grandmother's face, so he will not ask the merchant's family to die.Wouldn't Shang Duo be punished for saying this!

Jiang quickly got up and stood with his head bowed, not daring to defend Shang Duo.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shang was angry as expected.

Before she entered the palace, Shang Duo had instructed: It is necessary to bring this heavy sentence to the Queen Mother Shang, even if it offends the Queen Mother for a while, it doesn't matter.

People have different standpoints and see things from different angles.Shang Duo asked himself that he and the second prince had become enemies, and he was definitely not the same as the third prince, so he made up his mind to tear them down.Otherwise, no matter who becomes the prince, the whole family will suffer in the future.

However, to the Empress Dowager Shang, the two princes are her own grandsons after all.

No matter how wise a woman is, she cannot be entangled in family affection.Shang Duo only looked at the empress dowager's old and confused appearance, and didn't dare to trust that the empress dowager Shang would always be calm and understand.

So you have to beat the drum with a heavy hammer, and Shang Duo told the Queen Mother clearly that it is not good to be with the mud, and once the second prince ascends the throne, your mother's family will be ruined!So you old man, don't be soft-hearted when you are in the palace, don't be confused at the critical moment and then raise a tiger.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Shang has some signs of this.

She has always treated Concubine Liu Gui and her son coldly, and never really made a move.

It was the imperial concubine who was so rampant in the past, and wanting Liu's daughter to be a companion was a direct challenge to the authority of the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother Shang still did not do much in the end, she just regarded her as air, and did not treat her humanitarianly. destroy.

If this was the harem of the former Supreme Emperor, Concubine Liu Gui would have been buried by the Empress Dowager Shang long ago if she provoked her like this.

Now he is so kind and soft-hearted, letting Concubine Liu Gui leisurely roam around in the harem, it's not because Concubine Liu Gui is good-looking, but it's because the Second Prince is his own grandson.The Empress Dowager Shang would be cold-hearted towards him and dislike him, but in the end she kept her affection.

Shang Duo now just wants to wake up the Queen Mother, when it's time to take action, stop having illusions about this grandson.

The Jiang family saw that the Queen Mother was angry, but they could only continue to finish Shang Duo's words: "The master also said that the relatives of the Tian family can be monarchs and ministers, flesh and blood, and even mortal enemies and enemies."

Empress Dowager Shang showed a trace of exhaustion on her face: "Why don't I understand, I just hope that it won't come to this point."

Shang Duo's words made her furious at the first hearing, but when she thought about the behavior of the second prince in the past, she probably hated herself deeply, otherwise she wouldn't have forced Shang Chanchan to kneel down just because of a trivial matter , slapped Fengjing Palace in the face.

Throughout the ages, there are not a few people who killed their fathers and mothers for the throne, let alone the grandmothers who were not very close.

Empress Dowager Shang couldn't bear to think about such a bloody truth, but now that Shang Duo pointed it out clearly, she had no choice but to face it squarely.

Jiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing the empress dowager's hesitation and pain.It's easy to say that a strong man breaks his wrist, but no one can be ruthless than grass or trees.

In terms of changing positions, if her grandsons fight to the death for the title in the future, she will not dare to face it.

When the Empress arrived at Fengjing Palace, the Empress Dowager Shang had already calmed down, she just smiled as usual: "Empress, there are two good marriages here in this palace, both of which are related to you."

After listening to the Empress Dowager Shang's talk about the two marriages, the Empress was very surprised at first, but after thinking about it again, she showed her face and said, "Sure enough, it's a natural marriage." Then she said to the Jiang family: "From now on, this palace and Baoninghou's mansion are also related by marriage. .”

Jiang quickly got up to answer, and said a few words with a smile.

The queen even laughed and said: "I originally wanted to recognize Yu'er as a righteous daughter, and when she gets married in the next day, I will ask her to be a county lord, but now there is no need. There are many county lords in the capital, but they are not as good as Bao. Mrs. Ninghou Shizi is decent."

Sealing the patent is one thing, but face is another.

In Beijing, there are many royal relatives and wives who are higher in rank than Jiang's.But Baoninghou's mansion is simple in the emperor's heart, and the Jiang family has more face than others when walking outside.

Don't say that she dared to confront Nan'an Prince's Mansion head-on back then, a princess of a county with a different surname is the current emperor's brother, the princess of Prince Zhongyong and Zhongshun, and she is always very polite when she sees the Jiang family.

If Daiyu married into a businessman, the title of Mrs. Baoning Hou Shizi would indeed be more useful than a county lord.

Jiang shi laughed and joked: "Is there anyone in this world who dislikes the name of more than one county head? Isn't it stupid. So for the kindness of the empress, she said that she would reward a county head in our house, but I can't go back on my word."

The queen couldn't help laughing: "If you don't see that Mrs. Hou also has a daughter who wants to come into our Xie family, I will just let this matter go."

Yin said casually again: "The child Chanchan is the emperor's cousin, and if the empress dowager speaks in the future, even a county head will not be able to escape."

Jiang shook his head and said, "The empress praised her. The position of county head is the title of a royal daughter, and Yu'er is the adopted daughter of the empress. It is reasonable to be the county head in the future, but we, Chanchan, cannot afford it."

The queen shuddered, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing when she was happy: no matter how simple the businessman is in the emperor's heart, he is still a relative, just like Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

If Shang Chanchan can be the county lord, then why can't the daughter of the Empress Dowager Chu's family? If the Xie family has a prostitute daughter, they can naturally come to ask for it.

Therefore, if there is no justifiable reason, whether it is Shang Duo or Queen Mother Shang, even if they have this face, they will not open this mouth, so as not to be impeached for an usurpation.

The queen regretted saying something wrong on a whim.

The Jiang family knew that the queen was not trying to trick her family, but she just said it in passing.

He quickly rescued the empress and said: "It's Chanchan's blessing that the empress likes her. It's better than nothing to be the empress's nephew and daughter-in-law in the future."

Then put this matter aside.

The author has something to say: It is not possible now, but as the author of my own mother, I will still create a legitimate opportunity in the future and give us Chanchan a county lord.
