Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Speaking of Hangzhou Mansion, we must talk about West Lake, and if we talk about West Lake, we must talk about boating.In fact, whether it is early summer in April or midsummer in May, it is not a good time for boating. Walking on Su Causeway Baidi is naturally comfortable, but if it is boating, the water in the West Lake is too bright, and the sun in the sky is also bright. , People get dizzy.

However, compared to the disadvantages of being listened to by others, Miaoyu still chose to go boating.

There are four people in a flat boat, the boatman is paddling behind, and the four of them are talking in the cabin.

Miaoyu asked her parents for the first time: "Can you tell me about your parents?"

Xu Cen and Xu Mama looked at each other and slowly talked about the past.

Miaoyu's biological father, that is, the abolished prince, was the first son of the Yuan empress and the only prince who was raised by the old emperor himself since childhood.Not only does he have a very good appearance, but his temperament is also like a phoenix, extremely proud.Back then, he also had the capital to be proud of.

The prince back then was not only the heart of the old emperor, but also the well-deserved heir apparent in the hearts of civil and military officials, as well as the foundation of the country.

I just don't know when things have changed.

First, there was a faint rumor outside, saying that the country will surely enjoy another 30 years of peace and prosperity if it has a prince, and then the words became that the country has a prince, even if the emperor dies, it doesn't matter.

Then, the prince gradually became more difficult in the palace, and he became more and more partial to one of his side concubines.

The prince is very affectionate. Although he respects his first wife, he deeply loves a court lady who followed him from childhood. This court lady is also his nanny.And this woman gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the prince, a total of three children, so she was promoted from concubine to side concubine.But the crown princess has been in the door for ten years, and she hasn't conceived for a long time.

If it is said that the Crown Princess has not given birth for a long time, everyone can only consider themselves unlucky, saying that they have chosen a future mother who is not in the same blood as the Crown Prince and will not be able to spread the branches and leaves for the country and the royal family.

I don't want to, the princess is 32 years old. In this era, she is already an old woman. According to the palace rules, she is about to reach the age where she can't sleep, but she is pregnant!

Madam Xu said: "...this concubine concubine gave her a way to overwhelm her, and stuffed two green-faced and long-toothed little devils under her pillow. Long live was furious, determined to abolish the crown prince who was pregnant with Liujia Her Royal Highness had no choice but to go to the Zichen Hall to intercede, but she became pregnant. She was already seven months old, and in the end, a boy who had formed was abruptly lost!"

"boy?!"

Miaoyu heard it immediately.

There is something wrong with the title her father gave this side concubine.Concubine Ping.Ping means equality, and the crown princess is just a concubine, so she wants to be equal as a side concubine?Who is she equal to?

"Was she the only one who raised the East Palace back then?"

"Yes, it is."

Now Miaoyu somewhat understands why Zen Master and Xu Cen and Madam Xu had such expressions when they mentioned her mother.This Ping side concubine is indeed not an ordinary person. If her mother was not very powerful, she would have been caught by this Ping side concubine who has sons and daughters and the prince backing her, and her reputation will be discredited.

"Yes. When the midwife brought pots of blood out of the delivery room, the imperial doctor also came to report that there was something wrong with the empress's clothes. After investigation, the Ping side concubine had been relying on the crown prince's favor for many years. The embroidered threads on the empress's clothes are all soaked in safflower juice. The chickens and ducks used by the empress are also fed with safflower. Long live is furious, just skip the quarrel The civil and military officials issued an edict to abolish the reserve, and even gave her to death directly."

Needless to say?

The crown princess is the future mother of the country, and the protection she receives is second only to the emperor, queen and prince.The dignified princess has been plotted and drugged for ten years, so next time, will she attack the emperor?

Not to mention that there is a technique of overwhelming victory ahead.

In any case, the old emperor could not tolerate such a woman.

Miaoyu said: "Did the imperial grandfather depose him as a commoner?"

Xu Cen hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."

Miaoyu sneered and asked again: "Then what about me?"

Miaoyu is a little confused now.

What kind of mood did her mother conceive her?

"Afterwards, His Highness the Crown Prince, who was deposed as a commoner, took his wife and children to live in seclusion in the North Palace. His Highness was conceived at this time. When His Highness was born, His Highness the Crown Prince was already 36 years old. At that time, His Highness was still young, so I'm afraid it's not I remember. When His Highness was a child, His Highness the Crown Prince often held you on his lap to play with. His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't bear His Highness being locked up in the palace like a prisoner for a lifetime, so he sent His Highness out of the palace after His Highness was one year old."

Miao Yu said: "Am I the only one who was sent out of the North Palace?"

Being abolished and imprisoned, the prince's wives and concubines will inevitably be imprisoned, and the prince's sons and daughters will not be able to hide.

Startled by Miaoyu's icy gaze, the Zen master hesitated for a moment, and said, "The one who was sent out of the palace at the same time was the daughter of Concubine Pingfang."

"Oh?"

"I heard that a pair of sons and daughters who were taken care of by Yingshulang Qin Ye got plague, and their front and rear feet were gone. The daughter of Ping side concubine took the identity of Qin Keqing and was raised in Jia's house."

Miaoyu immediately lowered her face, and said to the Zen master: "I know that I should have an older brother who was killed by this Concubine Ping, but you actually want me to go to Jia's house and live with the daughter of Concubine Ping Under the eaves?"

Fuck? !

"But right now, only the Jia family is still loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Only they can protect His Highness.

"I don't care." Miaoyu interrupted him, saying: "It's just that she is in Ningguo Mansion and I am in Rongguo Mansion. As long as I think about these messy things, I will feel uncomfortable!" Miaoyu took a deep breath , and asked: "My mother, are you okay?"

She doubted the Zen master's loyalty.

I'm afraid it's not loyalty to their mother and daughter, but only loyalty to the deposed prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died of illness five years ago, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name, not caring about worldly affairs."

"Isn't my mother raising other concubine sisters? It's good to relieve loneliness."

"Your Highness said, none of them are His Royal Highness the Princess."

So she doesn't want to.

Miaoyu immediately realized that after the death of Concubine Ping, no one attacked the prince's wives and concubines, and everyone let go.

She said: "So, where are these sisters now?"

The Zen master whispered: "His Highness, except for the daughter of Concubine Ping, all the county lords are in the North Palace. I heard that after the abdication ceremony, the county lords will be resettled in the palace."

Miaoyu tapped the small table in front of her with her fingertips, thought for a while, and said: "Since the country has changed hands, I am afraid that it is not only my concubine sisters who need to be resettled. Even my mother. Zen master, can you see My mother?"

"Yes. What orders does Your Highness have?"

"I want to ask the Zen master to tell my mother that I'm safe. I'm afraid I can't bring other things with me. However, some landscape paintings with Western painting methods should be fine."

The Zen Master nodded naturally.

For the next few days, Miaoyu didn't sleep well.

She understood now.If it was set as this dungeon and combined with the direction of the original book, then her entry to Beijing, especially the Grand View Garden, would be a conspiracy.The emperor might not take the initiative to plot against her, but her concubine's elder brother, the son of Concubine Ping, might plot against her in order to avenge the abolition of the crown princess.

Who let Miaoyu's brother and side concubine die between them?

The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable.Although Concubine Ping was to blame, and Concubine Ping was bestowed to death by the old emperor, but Miao Yu did not deny that her concubine brother probably poured all her hatred on their mother and daughter.

That is to say, the Zen master said that including the Jia family, there are still many lords and noble families who are still loyal to the prince, but their loyalty to the prince is not loyal to her, the prince's daughter, maybe they are more loyal to the son of the Ping side concubine!If this guy wants to plot against their mother and daughter, I'm afraid these people won't stop them at all, and even facilitate them intentionally or unintentionally.

Miaoyu quickly compiled a list of enemies in her mind, and the three children of Concubine Ping were among the top five.

Now, Miaoyu can also be sure that Zen master not only has contact with her mother, but even her current peaceful life may be due to the care of the deposed princess.

With an idea in mind, Miaoyu tidied it up carefully.

There are several Western canvases about a foot in size, each of which is different, just like the turning fans in the Tang Palace, bound on a wooden shelf, forming a thick and large picture album.The paintings are separated by white mulberry paper, and words are written on these papers.

Maybe it's a tea tree in a clump of spring snow, with thick green leaves, new green shoots, and a thin layer of snow.There is a note next to it, just two sentences: "This year's late spring is very cold, and there have been two snowfalls. The tea farmers are saying that if there is only one light snowfall, it will be fine, because it can freeze the pests. But if the game is too heavy, or if there are two more games, then this year's Mingqian tea will not be counted on."

Or it is a pot of sweet potatoes, a branch of sweet potatoes planted in the natural-colored mud pot, the vines and leaves are luxuriant, climbing all over the shelf, and there are two lines of words on the side: "I don't know what the name of the grass is, it is lush and green. , the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and people like it when they look at it.”

There are a total of twelve such paintings, bound into a twelve-page fan, and asked the Zen master to take it to the abandoned princess as a sign of safety.

Miaoyu is well versed in the skills of reporting peace.She talks about it, or writes that she is very good on paper, but the useless princess may not believe it.However, if she had time to study painting and flower arrangement art, the abandoned princess would believe that she was really safe.

Because only when you really settle down, can you have the leisure to fiddle with these things.Only after receiving these things will the abandoned crown princess truly feel at ease.

Therefore, Miaoyu not only picked up Western paintings, but also picked up the art of flower arrangement, which ignored a whole copy.He even started playing with pottery.

Coincidentally, there is a brick kiln in the Phoenix Valley, which is very good at business, and even provides a quiet and elegant house for girls and boys who like pottery to play with clay.Miaoyu was worried that she couldn't find a suitable vase, but she fell asleep and met a pillow?There is even a gift to Beijing.

Miaoyu also knew that it was impossible for her to use first-class clay.This era is the era of imperial power, and brick kilns everywhere have the same rules. The best clay must be ready to enter. Even if this brick kiln provides such a service, the clay delivered is only second-class and third-class.Fortunately, Miaoyu plays pottery, so the requirements are not as high as porcelain.

Miaoyu has become a frequent visitor to this brick kiln. Apart from managing her own fields, she spends one-fifth of her free time here.

Because of this, she was able to buy a field nearby.

The Phoenix Valley area is probably due to the large number of brick kilns, and almost no food can be grown.So fields are extraordinarily cheap.By the way, Miaoyu built a courtyard here, without him, it's just convenient for her to stay here when she comes to Phoenix Valley.

Of course, according to her usual habits, she did not forget to build an earth method greenhouse on her own field to raise poultry and livestock, earthworms and sweet potatoes.She even custom-made clay pots for kimchi.

And these were all drawn by her on the painting, ready to share with her mother.

The Zen Master left almost no news at all.He didn't come back until after the Double Ninth Festival of Ninth Ninth, when the sweet potatoes were all harvested, Miaoyu prepared to make two fan-turning fans for the paintings of the abandoned princess, and made a dozen homemade pottery.

The Zen master brought back two pieces of news about the abolished prince. One was that the new emperor named the abolished prince the Prince of Yizhong. , has gone to Ping'an Prefecture with his family.The other one is that the abolished concubine became the old concubine of Yizhong but insisted not to go to Pingan Prefecture, so now she lives alone with a few confidants in the Yizhong Palace in Beijing.

The abolished concubine, no, now she will be called Concubine Yizhong. She cried a lot after seeing the things the Zen master brought back, and asked the Zen master to bring sixty ingots of silver ingots to Miaoyu, a total of 3000 taels of silver. Don't wrong yourself.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

Looking at the 3000 taels of silver, Miaoyu sighed: "Before it was confined, but now I live alone in Beijing, and I have to spend money everywhere. Even the concubine's dowry was rich, after so many years of consumption, how much can I have left? Why? Don't worry about yourself? The mother concubine is doing well in Beijing, and I can do well here."

Then he said to the Zen master: "In the future, there are three festivals and two birthdays, that is, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, the birthday of the emperor, and the birthday of the mother and concubine. I will trouble the Zen master. Please also tell the mother and concubine that I am fine. The concubine can take care of herself."

Then I sent the two sets of twelve-page Western painting fan and twelve pieces of pottery prepared by myself to Concubine Yizhong.When Miaoyu started making these pottery, they were in pairs, and she was going to give one of them to Concubine Yizhong as a memory.

And this time there are two sets of turning fans, one is about food.Mrs. Song's fish soup, and Jiwei shrimp are all drawn on the painting.When Madam Xu looked at the twelve paintings, she even joked that Miaoyu was deliberately greedy for her mother.

In another set of turning fans, in addition to the six pages of scenery and flowers, there are six pages of flower arrangements made by herself.She picked six of the most satisfactory ones to make a turning fan.And the pottery that appeared in these six pieces is the six pottery that she prepared to give to Concubine Yizhong.

She said to the Zen master in this way: "Please tell my concubine that you don't need to blindly subsidize me. I am fine in Hangzhou. I will earn the money myself. If your concubine always misses me, you might as well make a book list for me. I got it." Free time, reading books, growing flowers, this is a good day."

Give her three years, and when her business empire is established, she will take care of her mother.

The Zen master took the order and left.

Miaoyu's confidence that she can build a business empire is not empty talk.Because this year, sweet potatoes had a bumper harvest, and even the chicken and duck breeding below made a lot of money.If it weren't for the excellent red-skinned lotus root produced by Xizi Lake, and if the West Lake lotus root powder wasn't famous all over the world, she might even have planted lotus root.

But now, with only sweet potatoes and sweet potato vermicelli, poultry breeding such as chickens, ducks and quails, and earthworm soil, he earned 2000 taels of silver.

I gave rewards to the subordinates, and rewarded Madam Xu Cen and Xu for their hard work. She still had 800 taels of silver in the box, and was planning to buy more land in the coming year.Although Concubine Yizhong sent a lot of money, she was very uneasy about receiving it.Compared with money, she hopes that her household registration and household registration issues can be resolved as soon as possible.

At this moment, Mother Xu made a move.

It was November that day, and the north side was covered with ice and snow at this time, but there was still only frost and dew on the Hangzhou side, but the fields were basically harvested, and it was also slack, and everyone was fine.Madam Xu came with a girl holding a tray of jewelry.

Miaoyu knew something was up when she saw the jewelry.

If it was last year, she would treat her as Nanny Xu to curry favor with her, and specially honor her with such a tray of jewelry, and she would just take it.

But what happened to this set this year?

Miaoyu is not an ignorant woman. After experiencing so many dungeons, she has already developed a sharp eye. Even with just one glance, she can see that some of these jewelry are crafted in the palace.In the palace, concubines who are low-ranking or unfavorable concubines don't have such good jewelry.

And it's all new.

Miaoyu's eyes sharpened immediately.

Mother Xu gestured to the left and right, and after Miaoyu nodded and all the maids and women in the room withdrew, she said: "The princess is talented and intelligent. Thinking about it, we can't hide our affairs from the princess."

Miao Yu said: "So, there is someone behind you?"

"Yes, we are today's Wansui people. And these were prepared by Wansui. The two things in this mother-of-pearl box are still drawn by Wansui himself."

Madam Xu replied softly.Miaoyu was not angry, let alone having an attack, but she was relieved.She was really afraid that the little princess would be annoyed.

"reason?"

Mother Xu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Long live the Buddha, I like the pottery made by the Princess."

I like the Zen feeling of those few flower arrangements.

"Fake, not for this reason."

Mother Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, it's for the princess's business."

"Qin Ye's daughter? What did she do? Or what did her brother do to offend Long live today?"

"This……"

Mother Xu hesitated to speak.

"If her brother...as the eldest son of his father, was told by his biological mother that the future throne must be his for a long time, it would not be surprising that he would have other thoughts. Although the imperial grandfather abdicated, his status It can be given up, but the power will not be given up, and there is no need to repeat whether the emperor's grandfather will contribute to the flames. In short, his existence is a threat to the present. As for Qin Keqing..."

Thinking of Qin Keqing in the original book, Miaoyu sneered, and said: "She is now the daughter of Qin Ye, and what she does has nothing to do with the royal family, so don't care about her now, unless her actions are really out of line. So, what did Qin Keqing do? Is she playing tricks in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, or is her personal morality at fault?"

Grandma Xu was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the little princess was right.

She stammered and said: "Yes, she is the princess, and she has some personal morals."

"Okay, don't call her the big princess anymore. She is an outsider." Miao Yu said, "What do you want to say when you reveal your identity to me today? Or is there any instruction for Long Live Today?"

Grandma Xu didn't dare to answer.

Miaoyu didn't force herself, she just drank tea quietly.

It wasn't that she said that the Tuancha made with the tea leaves from Meihuawu according to the ancient recipe tastes good.She loves it.

Madam Xu hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it will dirty the princess's ears. She, she, she picks up ashes."

Miaoyu was dumbfounded.

She never expected that Nanny Xu would actually say it.You know, this kind of thing is the most taboo for an underage girl like her to know.

"Is it a big commotion, the streets and alleys in Beijing know about it?"

Nanny Xu lowered her head, laughed along with her, but said nothing.

But her expression said it all.

Well, it would be extremely embarrassing for any family to have such a woman, whether it is a daughter or a daughter-in-law.

Miao Yu said: "Then the Jia family knows her identity, and the marriage they plan to prepare for her will definitely not be bad. Why should it be the clan's wife, or the head of the house, right? How could they abuse her like this?"

"Listen, I hear she volunteered herself."

"Is she crazy! She was married in the past and was a regular wife! She will have a son in the future, and the wife of the Jia family will be her future. What is she dissatisfied with? Must..."

Miaoyu really couldn't say the word pick up ashes.

dirty.

After a long time, Miaoyu said: "What instructions does Long live have? Or, what action does her good brother have?"

Mother Xu said: "This... I heard that the King of Yizhong County relied on the favor of the Supreme Emperor to have close contacts with the four princes and eight princes. Your Majesty, Your Majesty encircled Ping'an Prefecture as a fief for the King of Yizhong County, and let Yizhong County King Zhongjun took his family to Ping'an Prefecture."

"really."

Presumably this is the reason why Qin Keqing died in the original book and Miaoyu entered the Jia family after Qin Keqing.

Don't know whose idea it was.But now, Miaoyu is sure that those who are "loyal" to her father probably have a share!Miaoyu was sent directly to a dead end.

"What does Long live want me to do?" Miaoyu said directly, "If you want me to stay in Hangzhou, just help me get the household registration, so that I can set up a farm and enjoy the joy of the countryside with peace of mind."

Mother Xu said cautiously: "Long live wants to adopt His Highness as an adopted daughter, and the title has been drawn up, Princess Duanhui. Long live will tell the world that His Highness was weak since childhood, so he was raised outside the palace."

Miaoyu was dumbfounded.

She asked, "And then? What do you want me to do? Is it for sweet potatoes?"

She didn't hide the high yield of sweet potatoes. Even if Xu Cen and Xu Mama didn't report it, the prefect of Hangzhou would report it.Presumably, the ruling and opposition parties now know everything they should know.

"Say it first, and find someone else with your relatives."

Anyway, she is also the daughter of the abolished prince. The abolished prince has been imprisoned in the North Palace for many years, but he has also been a prince for many years, so he must have something in his hand.If it wasn't in the hands of the Yizhong County King, it must be in the hands of Miaoyu's mother Yizhong Taifei.

Miaoyu was raised in the folk since she was a child, and she definitely wouldn't know about such things.The emperor wanted to win her over, presumably his real purpose was also on Concubine Yizhong.

"Here, Your Highness, aren't you annoyed?"

Miaoyu's arrogance, after this year, Mother Xu has already experienced it.

"Why are you angry. It may not be a blessing not to be used by others."

Maybe it's because he's worthless, so he's ignored by everyone, and he'll definitely throw it away if something happens in the future.Rather than doing this, it is better to show your own value. In the future, even if others want to sacrifice you, they must first consider the resulting negative impact.

"The servant understands. The servant will tell the truth."

Aunt Xu stepped back.

After Madam Xu left, Miaoyu's nanny came in and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Madam Xu to be Long Live."

Miaoyu smiled lightly, and said, "You think her eyes are the only ones here? She is a long-lived person, but it's better."

Because Madam Xu is the emperor's man, and the emperor was a hard-core prince | partisan at the beginning, Nanny Xu dared to reveal her identity, but she might not be able to report her identity if she changed to other spies.

The author has something to say: Phoenix Valley under Phoenix Mountain, this name was written down when visiting the Southern Song Dynasty Yujie Museum in Hangzhou.The stupid author doesn't know where the Phoenix Valley is, and where the brick kilns in the Phoenix Valley are, anyway, it's imaginary.The stupid author borrowed the name Phoenix Valley to create a fictional Phoenix Valley brick kiln that provides services similar to pottery classrooms.I don't know if there was such a thing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Special Note.

For flower arrangements made by Miaoyu, see Xing Xiuyan's copy.

Anyway, this is the style of painting.Very zen.

Special Note.

At that time, we could directly refer to Hangzhou verbally, but when writing, we should try our best to write Hangzhou Prefecture.This is an administrative area name.Due to ancient and modern historical reasons, there is still a big difference between Hangzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture.
