[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

In the tenth year of Jinfeng, the prince Jia Lian got married.

No matter what the reason is, the second sage has only one son, Jia Lian, and the empress has never been pregnant again. Many people in the outside world are rumored that she took the anti-fertility drug.

Because of the stable position of the prince, many people are staring at the position of the princess.There are people around Jia Lian's age who are jumping up and down, trying to attract his attention in different ways.

But Jia Lian still chose his childhood sweetheart, the girl from the Wang family, as the princess.

Ever since Mrs. Chen took her daughter to visit the princess and was bumped by Jia Lian, Jia Lian liked this sister very much.Because the Wang family and Jia's family are still relatives by marriage, Jia Lian usually met her when he went to play at his second uncle's house when he was a child.

Later, when he was a little older, it was not easy for him to play with the little girl all the time, but he always remembered her in his heart.The last time we met was when cousin Zhu got married the year before last, and she came with her mother, Mrs. Chen, to congratulate Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zhu was a few months younger than him, and married a girl from the Guozijian Ji Restaurant when he turned fifteen.But his father always said that it was not good to marry early, so he delayed his marriage for a few years.

Just like when he was a child, he still likes girls from the Wang family, she has a hearty and generous smile, which is extremely bright.After meeting Wang Xifeng, he went back to the palace to explain the situation to Shuize and asked for a marriage.

Jia Amnesty knew it was to let him go back and think about it first, and did not directly agree to him.Mizusawa was a little strange, he didn't think Jia She was someone who would interfere in the marriage of his children, especially Jia Lian himself fell in love with him.

Shui Ze looked at Jia She suspiciously, and Jia She said, "It's not that I don't believe in Yan'er's feelings for Wang's daughter, but I just don't know if he understands how to be a husband. Before he understands, I don't want him to get married. Miss Wang is a good one."

In terms of women's school, Mizusawa has been following up. He knows that the Wang's daughter Jia Lian mentioned is Wang Xifeng, who is the best at the women's school.Not only that, Wang's daughter is a person who knows the law very well, and is also good at doing business.

Wang's daughter is also well-known in the academy. Although she is not very good at reading, she has a lot of friends.No matter which girl she is from, she has no ill feeling towards her, and she is the most straightforward person.

Shui Ze thought that Miss Wang was very good, and he should settle Jia Lian as soon as possible, otherwise he would be sad if others said it first.But Jia Amnesty disagreed.

Seeing Mizusawa's disapproval, Jia She said: "A husband must first have a sense of responsibility, and I dare not let him marry a wife if he is uncertain. He just sees the girl's appearance and temperament to suit his heart, but in the future, marriage will definitely not suit him in everything. Mind.

The two of you need to get along with each other. Yan'er has been the prince since he was a child, so how can I trust him?At the beginning, I traveled abroad for three years. Only when I know the world, I can respect you and love you. This is how I have today's piano and harmony. "

Mizusawa nodded and said yes, he was a little embarrassed to hear these words when he was nearly 40 years old.He also felt that what Jia Amnesty said was reasonable, so he only hinted at the Wang family and did not tell Jia Lian.

After delaying for nearly a year, Jia Lian did a lot of things to show his ability in order to gain recognition. For a while, both the government and the public praised the prince for his wisdom.

When Jia Lian went to find Shui Ze again to ask for a marriage, Jia Amnesty was relieved to see Jia Lian, who had a calm face and less frivolity between his brows, and the father and son went to talk in a place where no one was around.

Jia Lian poured tea for Jia She, and sat down on the lower seat waiting for Jia She to speak.

Jia Amnesty didn't look at Jia Lian, but looked at Bai He who was not far away and said, "Your mother and I got engaged when we were about ten years old. The first time I saw your mother, I felt that this was destined, and so did your mother.

At that time, I was still young, and since I got engaged, I took him to play with him all over the capital, and there were a lot of gossip in Beijing.Fortunately, I was young at the time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am innocent.

After I know that I have damaged your mother's reputation, I will start to pay attention to it. When I go out, I will bring a maid guard to prevent people from talking.Ordinary actions are more respectful.

After we got married, someone lobbied to take me a concubine after your mother had been infertile for many years, and he agreed.He thought I didn't know, but I could hear him crying secretly when I climbed over his courtyard wall.

No one wants to share their lover with others, love is exclusive.After I made it clear to your mother, he never cried about it again.

I don't ask you not to take a concubine after you get married, but you have to be clear that once you take a concubine, all your love will be discounted by your wife.You'll never be loved with all your heart, and then you'll be truly alone..."

It was the first time for Jia Lian to hear the love story of his parents, and he was very interested in listening to Jia Amnesty while holding a teacup.Hearing that he put down the teacup at the end, he hesitated.

He's suddenly not sure if he's ready to accept another human being, and... ready to spend his life with someone.His father's words disrupted his plan, and he was already planning to marry the daughter of Minister of the Ministry of War as his side concubine.

He heard that Wang Xifeng and the Minister of the Ministry of War's daughter exchanged handkerchiefs, which could not only win over the Minister of the Ministry of War, but also make his wives and concubines harmonious.

Of course Jia Lian longed for the relationship between his parents, but he felt that no emperor would marry only one.It was only because my mother was the emperor that he gave her face not to take concubines, otherwise he would have taken concubines too.

Jia Amnesty knew what Jia Lian was thinking just by looking at Jia Lian's expression, and said, "Think about it carefully. If you want to take a concubine, I will issue an imperial decree together. If you can't do it, don't give them hope, otherwise it will only make people sick." .”

After Jia Lian hesitated for a while, he still nodded and said that he only wanted to marry Miss Wang as his wife. He wanted to take her home as his bride from the first sight.Jia Amnesty stared at him for a few seconds, then formally issued a decree to make Wang's daughter the crown princess.

After half a year of preparations in the Ministry of Rites, the prince married the princess Wang Shi and got married in the East Palace.

Along the way, the red carpet paves the road, and tents are set up on both sides.The crown prince rushed to the Wang family on a tall horse, closely followed by the drumming team and guard of honor.There are eight colorful sedan chairs behind, which are reserved for the princess.

Everyone in the capital knew that today was the big day for the crown prince to marry the crown princess, and they all went to the streets to watch the excitement.Although the line of sight is blocked by the apron, there is also something to talk about in the future.

Only the sound of gongs and drums can be heard, and the joy can be spread two miles away.The red silks and satins all over the street and the "囍" cut out of red letters are full of festiveness at a glance.

After the prince received the princess, he led the team all the way back to the palace, and the Wang family also packed up and went to the palace for a banquet.The palace has already prepared the banquet, and is waiting for the prince to come back.

Shui Ze suddenly felt a little sad, he quietly approached Jia She and said, "From now on... Yan'er will have her own home."

Jia Amnesty shook Shui Ze's hand and said, "We're just going to accompany him for a while. He should go away when he has his own home. We can't stay with him forever."

Mizusawa's eyes were a little illusory, "Then will you stay with me forever?"

Jia Amnesty gave a soft "hmm", and looked at Shui Ze gently, his gaze returning to clarity.Seeing that the officials below had noticed the two people above, they patted Mizusawa's hand and sat down.

Looking at the newcomers in the audience, both of them had mixed feelings in their hearts.It has been 16 years since I was a small group and now I am tall and tall.

The two couldn't help but think of the scene when they got married, and then looked at the fine lines at the corners of their eyes and the occasional white hair on their heads, feeling a little emotional.

Too many things happened in the past ten years. The queen mother passed away in three years, the emperor died in five years, and even Jia Daishan passed away in seven years.People familiar with each other left one by one, which made the two cherish each other even more.

The rest of the Shi family moved to Jia Zheng's mansion behind on the pretext that there was no one to support them in An Guogong's mansion, and accepted the support of their second son and daughter-in-law.With Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu serving filially by her side, her illnesses also eased a lot.

Early the next morning, the crown prince and the crown princess greeted the two of them.The two drank the tea offered by their daughter-in-law with a smile on their faces, ennobled Prince Teng as the Marquis of Feng En, and Mrs. Chen as the wife of Chaopin.

Jia Lian also couldn't see the slight reluctance before, and acted very happy.He kept saying good things about Wang Xifeng, causing Shui Ze to reward the princess with some items from time to time.

After Wang Xifeng married in, Shui Ze handed over some of the affairs in the palace to the Crown Princess, and occasionally asked Jia Lian to bring back some memorials for Wang Xifeng to read.

Wang Xifeng is also a capable person, except that it was a bit difficult to get started at the beginning, after getting familiar with it, she is a master of one word, and she can control some people in the palace to death.

Not only is the management of the various parts of the harem well-organized, but even the memorials that are occasionally reviewed are not lacking in eye-catching features.Shui Ze also lamented Jia Lian's good vision, and Jia Lian could have help in the future.

But Jia She looked over coldly and felt that Jia Lian didn't seem to like Wang Xifeng's power very much.After Wang Xifeng dealt with it a few times, he stopped dealing with it, and the memorial was covered with Jia Lian's handwriting.

Mizusawa also noticed it, and found that the relationship between the young couple seemed to have changed, but it seemed that they were still as loving as before and didn't care much.Husband and wife get along or look at themselves.

Each has its own way of getting along, and Jia Amnesty will not say much about it, only mentioning Jia Lian.Although father and son should have a sense of distance, they did not force Jia Lian to follow his ideas.

Wang Xifeng also seems to be very satisfied with her life, she has palace power inside, and she is loved and respected by her husband.The only shortcoming is that the husband does not want to be involved in politics by himself, but fortunately, the power of the palace is in his hands, which is also a comfort.

Although she was a little envious of Yingge who was able to help the empress councilors in the previous dynasty, she told herself more than once to be content and just manage the inner palace well.

Political power is a matter for men. She only needs to take care of the inner palace to be a good woman, and she doesn't need to intervene in everything to show her ability.

Although Mizusawa felt a little regretful, he still respected Wang Xifeng's thoughts and didn't pull her out to help him.

In the third year of Jinfeng, women took part in the imperial examination, but until now there has not been a female official who has passed the imperial examination in the true sense and stood in the court.

However, he has just been on the throne for ten years, and he does not expect to change the thinking of hundreds of thousands of people in ten years.Just have a start.

In recent years, the weather has been favorable and the emperor presided over the opening of the sea ban. Many orders for tea, porcelain, silk, etc. from overseas have poured in like snowflakes. Except for commercial taxes, the rest of the taxes have been dropped again and again.

No matter how high the business tax is, it still cannot stop the huge benefits.Many businessmen began to buy ships to go to sea, buying domestic things and selling them.

The common people sell their own tea, cloth, etc., and when they have money, they naturally send their children to school.Those who are richer will send the girls to girls' schools

The imperial court established the Maritime Safety Bureau, took the lead in running many large-scale workshops, and recruited some common people to work.Later, merchants also started to go to sea, and they set up small workshops to supply demand.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Jia Amnesty ordered the third department to draft an "Employment Law", which strictly stipulated the time limit of the contract of labor, the time of work, and the frequency of work, etc.

In this way, many people in the Shui Kingdom can earn a lot of money by farming during busy seasons and working during slack seasons.For those who are poorer, the hostess will find a workshop that recruits female workers, and the family will also have an extra income.
