Queen's Road in the Red House

The red sun is in the sky, the shade of the trees is on the ground, and the ears are full of cicadas.

Zhou Huangwei walked in with an umbrella, and Mo Ran hurriedly handed over a cup of herbal tea: "It's such a poisonous sun, why did Imperial Doctor Zhou come here in person? Our mother will feel uneasy seeing her."

Sure enough, when Daiyu saw Zhou Huangwei, she got up from the imperial concubine's couch covered with Jinyin ice mat and said, "Why are you here? I just got a bit of heat, so I just ask someone to deliver two packs of medicine. Anyway It's all the prescriptions you gave me before."

Even holding an umbrella, Zhou Huangwei's cheeks were flushed by the heat.At this time, due to Daiyu's heatstroke, there was no ice jar in the inner room, so Zhou Huangwei simply grabbed two pieces of crushed ice from the outer room and put them in the palm of his hand to cool off the heat.

Hearing Daiyu's words, she smiled and said, "Are you confused about this disease? Can the medicine in this palace pass through anyone's hands casually? Don't talk about me, Wu Taiyi ordered God to pull the earth, just to send two Wan Xia’s appetizing hawthorn pills have to go all the way to Mingzheng Palace, even if you don’t see the emperor, you don’t dare to give it to others, you have to hand it to Eunuch Qin in person.”

Because of the heat, she sat quietly for a while, and then came up to feel Daiyu's pulse: "It's okay, it's the heat, just eat less food these few days. It's because you've worked too hard these past few months. Illness inevitably has some external factors and internal stagnation.”

Daiyu said lazily, "No, from Chinese New Year to midsummer, it has passed in a blink of an eye."

"There are a lot of things to do, and the days go by quickly." Zhou Weiwei counted on her fingers: in February, Yingchun gets married, in April, Tanchun enters the government of the town, and at the end of June, Jinyu Liangyuan also rushes to get married.I don't know if it was Xia Jingui who made Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang hate that scene. The marriage was not a big deal. Except for the very close relatives and friends, Jia Baoyu hardly entertained guests in the wedding. It's all useless.

In all these marriages, Daiyu sent a pair of Ruyi out.

However, Lu Changming, whom Yingchun married, was born in a merchant family. The whole family had just grown a single seedling who was studying, and she was a bit of an official, so she was very happy to receive a reward from the palace. She wished she could worship Yingchun as a bodhisattva.

But the government of Zhen Guo, who also took over Yu Ruyi, is completely different.For the Niu family, the new daughter-in-law had changed from a concubine of the Zhen family to a concubine of the second room of the Rongguo Mansion. The gap was too great, so Mrs. Niu's embarrassing boss almost turned into Mrs. Ma.Even if he didn't say anything bad in terms of the rewards given by the princess in the palace, he was still cold and harsh towards Tanchun, always having a headache and thinking about making the new daughter-in-law behave in front of him.

There are often people from Tai Hospital who go to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and the news is the best, so Zhou Xuanwei chatted with Daiyu while eating iced fruit to relieve boredom: "But Tanchun's talent and appearance are there, and they were trained under the hands of the second wife. She is best at dealing with such kind-hearted wives on the outside, so although this day is a bit sad, it is not difficult to live on. Last time, Imperial Physician Hu was invited to check the pulse of the old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion, and was also told by Mr. Niu In private, I invited Tanchun to see Chunri's cough and cold, which shows that the relationship between husband and wife is good."

Mr. Niu was able to disobey his parents to the death and life for the maids in the house, which shows that he is a passionate person. Now, after marrying a wife who is several times more talented and beautiful than the maids, he has transferred his heart to the bride as expected.

Even the money of his own private house is taken care of by Tanchun, so although his mother-in-law treats him harshly and his servants are dissatisfied because of his background, Tanchun's life can still go on, as long as he continues to work hard, he can always open up the situation.

Daiyu wasn't worried about her: "Third sister is a patient person, and she will get better. On the other hand, second sister, I heard that life is really good. When she came to see me in the palace on Dragon Boat Festival, her eyes were all smiles. It's not the taciturn and evasive look in the mansion, it's actually a really comfortable look, and she even talks more."

Xiao Luo smiled beside her and said: "The empress is different from the world, she prefers to look at these things, why don't you look at these two dresses are also completely different? One is resplendent and resplendent, the other is just homely. After all, the Lu family where the second girl married, according to Zhen Guo Don’t say that the Duke’s mansion has been sent out for several streets, it’s simply sent out for several provinces! No one outside will boast that the third girl is blessed to marry the youngest son of the Duke’s Mansion of Zhen Guo.”

Daiyu sighed: "It's like people who drink water and know how warm it is. If you wear a thousand pieces of gold and silver on your body, if it's not a golden crown, but a golden shackle, it's useless. It's better to be intimate with a husband and wife under thatched huts."

Xiaoluo clapped her hands and smiled: "So the empress is the most blessed, she has both the golden crown and the confidant." Before Zhou Weiwei could laugh, Xiaoluo suddenly turned her head: "And Sister Zhou Taiyi, when will she marry into Jian'an Bo? Mansion? We are still waiting for a glass of wine."

Zhou Huangwei was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at her and smiled and said, "As long as you speak fast, you are not afraid that I will make you a medicine one day and make you speechless."

Xiaoluo hid behind the glass vase on the high table and smiled and said, "I know that Zhou Taiyi hangs a pot to help the world, and his medical skills only save people, and don't harm people."

Mo Ran came to drag her: "Doctor Zhou, screw her quickly."

Zhou Huangwei was not shy about these things, and she was very close to Xiaoluo Moran, so she just said: "If I get married early, I am afraid that your gift money will not be enough! From today onwards, your monthly money will be one cent Don't spend it, and keep the bounties you get everywhere, and add money to the bottom of the box for me in the future!"

Xiao Luo Moran saw that Daiyu had been lying idly for most of the day, and it happened that Zhou Huangwei was happy to come, and it became more and more lively.

So Xiao Luo pouted her lips and said: "Physician Zhou can do some calculations, I'm afraid there won't be enough gold ingots in your box. Now that you are registered in the name of the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion, the mansion will naturally give you a dowry. Not to mention that the old man Shi Taijun has said many times that you and Yuanyang are both her own granddaughters, so you will naturally have your own makeup at that time. Besides, you will have two extra copies in the palace-our empress does not need to say that it is natural It’s a good one, because Yang’s family has made Baoshan, and there’s even a piece of makeup for you from Master Yuanhui. Are these not enough? Now even the money of us court ladies is included, so you’re not afraid of too many boxes , can’t the Jian’anbo mansion be put down?”

--

At the beginning of May, the current patriarch of the Yang family, Empress Yang's direct elder brother came to Beijing for official duties.

Facing the general guarding the northwest, the emperor sincerely and humblely asked to see him, and it was not easy to stop him.With Xin Hongcheng helping to speak, Mrs. Yang and General Yang were allowed to meet Queen Yang.

After a year of recuperation, although Empress Yang could not recover as before, she was able to walk slowly with the support of the table.

The mother, daughter, brother and sister all saw each other after more than ten years, so it was natural to say goodbye with tears.

Since he was out of the harem, he also wanted to open Empress Yang's complexion and demeanor, which reassured her mother and elder brother.

General Yang is a man and it is not easy to enter the palace more often, but Mrs. Yang is the wife of the emperor, so it is very cheap to enter the palace.The queen mother also called her into the palace for several days, and gave a reason very considerately, saying that she wanted to hear about the customs of the northwest.In fact, it is to invite Mrs. Yang to come into the palace to see Empress Yang more.

It so happened that Zhou Huangwei came to ask Empress Yang for peace of mind once, and Empress Yang quickly entrusted the matter to her.

After she retired to Shangjing Palace, Daiyu could not come to pay her respects every day according to her request.But although the two saw each other less, they talked more intimately: Empress Yang was originally an unrestrained temperament, and after shedding the shackles of the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she and Daiyu seemed far away but were actually close.

Daiyu cried and complained to Empress Yang about sad things such as Zhenran, and talked about everything.Zhou Xuanwei's incident can be regarded as one of Daiyu's heart problems, so naturally she also mentioned it to Queen Yang.

Empress Yang kept it in her heart, although she couldn't go out of the palace, her mother's family came and solemnly entrusted her to go out.

She even mentioned her own poisoning: "My mother is caring anyway, if I didn't have this child last year, I might not have escaped with my life!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang immediately responded: "Your father was also in the same robe as the old master and several masters of Jian'anbo Mansion back then, so it is natural to be able to talk."

Then I went as a matchmaker in a hurry.

Mrs. Fan, because she lost her husband and sons, has been living in the past.The specific manifestation is that they only recognize the old and not the new.

The scope of this upstart is not limited to women like Zhou Xuanwei who came out on their own or new officials, but also includes the crown prince and princess, and even Emperor Xuanhe himself is an "upstart" in the old lady's heart.

In Madam Fan's opinion, these are young people.For things that I disagree with, even if the emperor and the crown prince use imperial power to pressure each other, it is impossible to force marriage!In the worst case, she would go to the gate of the palace to cry and make a fuss. Anyway, Fan's family members died for the country. What is she afraid of? The royal family can't kill her head.

Anyway, she would never tolerate someone pressing her head and overstepping her to propose marriage to the only man of the Fan family.

Because of this, even though Fan Yunyi could not convince his grandmother, he never thought of asking Xin Hongcheng to act as a prince and put pressure on her, lest the trouble be irreversible.

But it was different when Mrs. Yang came forward at this time.

When Mrs. Fan saw her, she couldn't help crying: The Yang family is flourishing and is now the largest family in Northwest China. If all the men of the Fan family were still there, they would never lose to the Zhong family of the Yang family.

Once the feelings come and the scene heats up, it's easy to talk.

What's more, apart from Zhou Huangwei's background, there is nothing wrong with her.Even if she came from a poor background, her inseparable friendship with the Crown Princess is more than worth it.

More importantly, Mrs. Fan also realized her grandson's irreversible intentions from the letters that her grandson sent back to her in the past six months.

If his grandmother didn't let him marry Zhou Huangwei, he wouldn't argue against it, but he would never marry anyone else either.

Mrs. Fan was in a hurry, and Fan Yunyi was also inspired by Jia Baoyu's deeds. He stayed up all night and copied a scripture and sent it back to Mrs. Fan. People who are cold and hot feel that life is boring and desolate, and that Buddhism is more pure, which makes him yearn for it.

Mrs. Fan was so anxious that she couldn't sleep for two nights: If the only seedling of the Fan family became a monk, and the Fan family's inheritance was cut off, she really didn't dare die to see her husband!

Now there is a qualified matchmaker like Mrs. Yang who has built the ladder, and Mrs. Fan will follow down.

Driven by Mrs. Yang who was still in Beijing, she went to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage two days later.

Mrs. Xing was also so happy that she didn't fall asleep for two nights: Zhou Xuanwei was in her name, and it would be good for her to marry well.

The emperor in the palace heard about this, and wrote a handwritten letter, "A Match Made in Heaven" to the two families.The prince even came to the door personally to deliver the imperial pen, which gave the Fan family a lot of face.Mrs. Fan also felt that her face was bright.

The Supreme Emperor likes to listen to exciting things, and he was also happy to hear about it: "In the past, the fan family boy was young, and the title in the family could not be afforded, so he has been hanging in vain. Let's seal it together."

Xin Hongcheng happened to be right in front of him, and immediately knelt firmly: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your kindness."

The Supreme Emperor pointed at him and smiled: "You are quick to kneel, so it can be seen that you two studied together when you were young, and you end up with a different affection from others."

After saying this, I remembered that I had misunderstood that the two had a close "broken sleeve" friendship before, and couldn't help laughing.He even told the empress dowager and the emperor about it as a joke.

After Xin Hongcheng sacrificed himself to entertain everyone, taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, he hastily asked a question: "The title of the Jian'an House was originally reduced to a lower rank. I don't know what title the emperor wants to award him?"

There are few hereditary titles in this dynasty, and they are all descended from generation to generation.Even the title has shrunk very seriously. For example, Jia Daishan's Rong Guogong, when he arrived at Jia Amnesty, he jumped three steps and became a first-class general.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at him: "I know what you're thinking. He built a man in Anbo's mansion to be loyal to the country, and he can afford the grace of attacking the title without surrendering. Besides, he is your companion, that's all, look at your words." Prince Nian has done a decent job, and this reward is also a reward for you."

Xin Hongcheng hurriedly thanked Fan Yunyi again.

So the matter was settled, just waiting for this year's Chinese New Year, the freshly released Jian'anbo will come to Beijing to get married.
