[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

"Why did the eldest cousin suddenly become a concubine?" Daiyu sat under the tree, shaking the round fan lightly, "I heard from the second cousin that the eldest sister has been in the palace for ten years, right? It happened suddenly."

Although Daiyu is intelligent and often reads the residence newspaper, so far, she is still a young girl raised in a boudoir and often meets her friends in the boudoir.Even she can think of something weird, Lin Hai, Jia Min, and Jia Yan, who are directly involved, naturally understand that there is a mystery here.

The parents didn't want Daiyu to know too much, and didn't want her daughter to worry about these things, but Jia Yan hesitated and finally left a note for Daiyu. There were only five words on it: Tang Taizong Lichu.

Daiyu burned the note after reading it, and sent Jiaxuan to find the biography of the Tang book for herself, recalling how her father taught her how to read history.Re-reading the history books with that sentence is really interesting. Daiyu immediately understood Jia Yan's meaning. He thought that the emperor still preferred Situ Kuo for the position of the Eastern Palace.But just as Tang Taizong made a fuss about committing suicide and forced his courtiers to say that the king of Jin is good, today he also wants to let other people see the benefits of the king of Chu.

Otherwise, what advantage does the king of Chu have? Even though he has a good temper, his talent and popularity are not so impressive.

"It's better to let the King of Chu do something," Daiyu sighed, "Otherwise, the courtiers will always look a little lacking in confidence, and then there will be too many people talking. It is said that women are mean and mean. In my opinion, since ancient times, the mouths of these ministers have been wicked!"

Jia Yan wanted to applaud in amazement: "My sister is right! I have thought about this too. Being a son is not good at this point. I can only wait for my father to mediate."

"I'm not the only child..." Daiyu said quietly, Jia Yan was dumbfounded by this sharp point, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Jia Yuanchun was concubine Jia Zheng's birthday, and the Rong Mansion was very happy for a few days afterwards, inviting all four princes, eight princes, relatives and friends who could come to celebrate.But Jia Min sighed to Lin Hai: Your Majesty will have her 20th birthday next year, no matter how Yuan Chun is only in her [-]s, I don't know what to be happy about, do you think my girl will be Concubine Yang?

This left Lin Hai with nothing to say, so he could only comfort him: After all, there are no girls from the Xungui family in your majesty's harem except for the Marquis Gu of Boling. Yuanchun's niece is the first in so many years. Not incomprehensible.

Both husband and wife knew that this was really just consolation. Lin Hai used the excuse of being busy, and Daiyu used the excuse of preparing for marriage at home, but Jia Min was invited to the door. However, they were not very interested in the invitation from the second sister-in-law Mrs. Wang: to go to the palace together to congratulate the empress.Although Baoyu asked Jia Yan out, his cunning brother Boheng asked him out for a horse race instead.

For a prospective young man in his teens, even if he likes to be around his older sisters and the family is full of entertainment, the temptation to find a reason to sneak out of the house is very great.Moreover, Baoyu likes to play with Jia Yan very much. After all, he is his own brother, relaxed and not tired.

"Prince Beijing?" Jia Yan smiled and said, "I heard that the county prince has a good reputation. Among the four princes and eight princes, he seems to have been praised by the emperor."

Baoyu nodded: "Yes, but although the emperor likes him, when it comes to government affairs, the royal family of Nan'an County has a lot of experience in leading troops, and His Majesty thinks highly of him."

The surname of the Nan'an Prince's Mansion is Yan, and all the heirs in the family have made military achievements in the past three generations. Today's Nan'an County King Yan Lue is serving as General Ying Yangwei.Speaking of which, Jia Yan also heard from Lin Hai that the old county king had guarded Ping'an Island at the border for many years, and because of this, he was not implicated by the three common people.At the beginning, the deposed prince Situ Hong wrote a letter to the old county king in the name of Jia Daishan.

Jia Yan thought of his father who had dealt with Changsheng, because he had the power to inspect Zhuangzi and directly contact the households for too long. If a family has a base and military achievements accumulated over the years, would the emperor be so at ease?There is no relationship between the royal family and the Nan'an Palace... Jia Yan felt that the emperor probably didn't feel at ease.

"Well, big sister is in the palace, so I don't know if she's doing well." This is Baoyu's preciousness. Jia Yan looked at him, and he was probably the only one in Rongguo Mansion who would think and say that he was worried about her sister's life. It's not that this concubine brought much benefit to the mansion.As for the other things, I really don't expect this solid-eyed child to think of it, let alone him, there is a general and a Yuanwailang in the mansion, and I have never heard of looking for my brother-in-law Lin Hai to understand the matter.

"You are the only one in the house who cares about your sister?" Jia Yan said with a smile, "The old lady and the second wife are also concerned."

There was no smile on Baoyu's face: "The old lady seemed to be relieved, saying that the Holy Majesty has finally lifted the ban on people like us, madam... I'm just happy that the eldest sister has survived, huh, and then I think about asking the eldest sister to do it for me in the future." I am looking for a good wife. Oh, but the third younger sister said a few words, but she is more manly than me, worrying about why my sister is suddenly named concubine."

"Oh?" Jia Yan opened her eyes wide: "Your sister... oh, it's the third sister named Tanchun, right?"

Baoyu nodded, and Jia Yan remembered that when the brothers and sisters met that day, although they were older and wanted to avoid suspicion, Jia Yan scanned and found that only one girl was "extremely ungentle" and had a very sharp feeling.

In a blink of an eye, it was August, and the day when Sun Zhong married Princess Xianyang was on the sixth day of August, a good day.After they got married, the Sun and Liang families wanted to discuss marriage again. Sun Gao agreed after considering it, but Zhao was worried: Although Xianyang Princess is the princess, in terms of straight waist, she really can't compare with Yongan County leader Liang You. .

Apart from Sun Zhao himself, the happiest person in the family is the old man Sun. The old man doesn't care so much. He is happy that his beloved grandson has a granddaughter-in-law who is no less than his eldest grandson.A gentleman of Sun Gaoru's sect, it is inevitable that he would secretly say to his wife: Father is really an idiot!

The husband and wife have also discussed, and when the old man dies, Sun Zhao and his wife will be separated.In case their brothers and sisters-in-law are not easy to get along with in the future, it will hurt their feelings and be detrimental to the family.It can also be regarded as a far-reaching plan for future generations.

This is the case in Beijing. When it comes to the children reaching the age of marriage, the marriages are closely linked one after another.Sun Zhong got married in August, and Sun Zhao and Liang You got engaged in September. Before and after that, the sons and daughters of several aristocratic families in Beijing were also engaged.Shan Guogong betrothed his two grandsons, Guanghu and Guanglin: Shi Guanghu betrothed the sister of the king of Nan'an County, and Shi Guanglin was going to marry the princess of King Qi!

As soon as Shi Guangzhu fell alive, the Duke of Shanguo said plausibly: his aunt and grandmother did not arrange for him when she was alive, and the king of Chu also said that now Guangzhu is an official of the court and has its own national laws.Ouch, we can't manage it.

The angry Situ Kuo wanted to scold someone, this old bastard!Shi Guangzhu didn't care, but Jia Yan watched from the side and felt that Shan Guogong was too much.It's a pity that they can't move their hands now, so they can only temporarily put down the government office.At the end of August, the emperor issued a decree to recruit another child, Yu Shi, for the king of Chu.

Ordinarily, with this background, being a princess is enough, but the emperor just didn't canonize her, but he called the king of Chu to the palace and gave him some advice.Situ Kuo returned to the palace and said: "Father said, two children, if you give birth to my eldest son, you will make the princess..."

Jia Yan and Shi Guangzhu were speechless. This is really the emperor's style, and they can only encourage the King of Chu to work hard.

Before the Spring Festival in the 30th year of Duanping, Jia Yan began to get busy. The garden in Yangzhou was entrusted to Shen Quan, the old housekeeper of the Lin family.Han Changsheng's parents returned to Jinling and guarded their parents' tombs for Jia Yan. This was a decent arrangement for the main family to guard the ancestral graves as agents.Then Tao Hou waited for the servants to basically arrive at Jia Yan's house in the middle of the capital.

This is to help the young master prepare for the wedding. After the emperor's [-]th birthday in February, Jia Yan will marry a wife!

The emperor's [-]th birthday has become an occasion for the princes and princesses to compete for splendor, but everyone never expected that the most limelight is the tenth prince Situ Chang who has just arrived in the year of dancing the spoon.

The birthday gift he gave was neither celebrity calligraphy and painting, nor rare treasures, but after he burned incense and prayed, he asked Qin Tianjian to calculate the location: use the gold and silver rewards received from the emperor in the past 13 years to pave the local bridge, pave the way, He distributed clothes and food to the local old people over the age of Ershun, and also distributed the Four Books and Five Classics to the local students...then invited these "people who have received the favor of the emperor" to write one hundred and nine birthday characters, wishing the emperor a long life without boundaries.

When the emperor was happy, he named his son king in advance, and the tenth prince was named King Ning, but the ninth prince, Situ Lan, who was one year older than him, hadn't been named yet.

Situ Kuo felt sad when he saw the birthday gifts he sent up. His gifts were calligraphy and paintings of famous people, but there was also a picture of birthday calligraphy written by himself.He wrote it himself stroke by stroke after bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and fasting.It's a pity, he sighed softly, being compared to others.He was not the only one who sighed at the scene. King Yan, King Qi, and even King Jin looked at the freshly baked King Ning and his mother Concubine Shu, as well as Princess Han who looked very proud, and Marquis Liu Xuan of Dingcheng. The madam's eyes seemed to be poisoned.

Jia Yan and Situ Kuo stood on the periphery, and Situ Kuo suddenly lost interest: "It really took a lot of thought to celebrate this birthday."

"The Marquis of Dingcheng, after all, is an upstart with military merits, and the family has a strong family background." Jia Yan said with a smile: "However, although His Majesty is happy for the young son's ingenuity, but when you think about it, you may feel that the Liu family has contributed a lot."

Before Situ Kuo had time to express his thoughts, the emperor ordered all the elder princes and princesses to come to the main hall, expressing that he liked their birthday gifts, especially the picture of King Chu's birthday, which shows sincerity!

In this round, there was no danger at all. Jia Yan and many others also understood that the emperor still favored his concubine and his son in his heart, and it was more troublesome to serve the king of Chu.But Jia Yan didn't care about these things, time flies and it's early spring, and in March, he and Daiyu are going to get married.
