Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

To marry a girl from the Baoyi family?This favor is too great.The girl is only ten years old this year. If she was just an ordinary girl from Baoyi's family, she would be sent to the palace for the selection at the age of 13, but the girl from the Cao family would probably be exempted if she handed a red envelope.If you really want to give a marriage, don't you have to raise the flag?At that time, the Cao family will "fly into the sky".

Fortunately, Kangxi didn't intend to raise the flag of the whole Cao family, he only gave a few instructions, and it was over.

"News came from Beijing, saying that Chen promised to give birth to a son safely." Wan Zhao was fiddling with the sapphire blue peacock hairpin Yinzhen brought back from outside, and Shan Shan came in with a message.

"Oh, that's a good thing." Wan Zhao put down the hairpin in his hand and said, "Mother and child are safe?"

"Chen's promise is not very good. I heard that there are symptoms of massive hemorrhage after childbirth." Shan Shan said, "However, the imperial doctor rescued her in time, and there has never been any major problems."

"That's good." Chen promised that the status is not high, and the little elder brother will also be hugged to her to be raised.It's not that Wanzhao has never raised a child, Dingbi's daughter was raised by her, "Where has the emperor been these few days?"

"I have been patrolling river workers and rice fields with the adults in Jiangning, why do you ask such a question?" Shan Shan asked.

Do you believe me when I said that I was worried that there would be one or more sisters on the return trip?Wan Zhao complained in her heart.In the past few days, Concubine Kui and others did not say anything, but they revealed the message "What if the emperor accepts a few more Han girls this time, what should I do?"Even Wang Guiren himself has such worries.It is enough to have a tender and noble person in the palace, and if there are a few more beautiful Han women, these concubines will not have to live.

Fortunately, when Kangxi drove back to Beijing, he didn't intend to take a few Han girls back to the palace.

On May [-]th, Kangxi returned to the palace.

Because she was thinking about Yinzhen's marriage, Wanzhao couldn't help asking this question when she greeted the empress dowager.Of course, it was impossible for her to say directly, "Have you discussed with the emperor when my son will get married?" So she shot from the side: "I heard that Sanfu Jin is happy again. Congratulations, the empress dowager is going to be a great-grandmother again."

San Fujin was diagnosed to be pregnant on the way back to Beijing. Because the pregnancy is still young, she has been raising the baby in elder brother's place during this period.It has to be said that the degree of love between San Elder Brother and San Fujin is indeed the envy of other princes Fujin, especially Qi Fujin.Seventh elder brother went directly to the side Fujin Nala's place as soon as he returned to the palace this time, and she couldn't pull her back even if she wanted to.

The empress dowager also smiled and said: "Yes, the third daughter-in-law is well-behaved and filial, and this time she will definitely give birth to another son for the third elder brother." The royal family pays attention to many children and many blessings.

"My servant looks very envious." Wan Zhao pretended to be very troubled and said, "It's been a long time for a child like Lao Ba, who has lived in the concubine for a long time. Now there is no good news at all, and this servant is about to die of anxiety."

The empress dowager thought about it, yes!That kid Yinyou has everything in the side room, counting his fingers, it's been five years, but there is no news at all.If Yinyou doesn't like the concubine Wang, then there are still two or three Gege in the elder brother's office, but there is no good news coming out.Think about it again in 34 when Concubine Ping died of illness, and the prince kept his filial piety for one year; when Concubine Xi died in 37, he kept his filial piety for another year.If this goes on like this, won't the eighth child become an older man and young man?No, you must get married!

"If you don't mention Aijia, you won't be able to remember it!" The empress dowager suddenly gained momentum, "The eighth child is eighteen, and it's time to get married. Aijia will discuss it with the emperor today, and the most important thing is to set the wedding date as soon as possible. Son!"

The villain in Wanzhao's heart clenched his fist triumphantly.

That night, the empress dowager called Kangxi over.In fact, although the empress dowager is imposing, she hasn't thought about what to say, so she can only say: "Has the emperor visited where Chen promised? Is the child okay with Chen's promise?" She is too lazy to move now, so she just sent The mother next to me went to see it.

"I've seen it, it's all good." Kangxi said with a smile.

"Hmm, that's good." The Empress Dowager twisted her fingers, what should I say?Let's just say it.So he said: "The Ai family called the emperor over tonight to discuss something with the emperor. Can the emperor set a date for the eighth elder brother's marriage?"

Kangxi was a little suffocated.The government is busy recently, and the Yellow River is showing signs of flooding again. He still has to think about how to fight the flood and how much money is left in the treasury, but he postpones the agenda of his son's marriage.He didn't enter the harem these days, so Concubine Shu might not have the chance to mention it to him.

Seeing Kangxi like this, the empress dowager understood. She glanced at Kangxi complainingly and said, "Eighth elder brother is eighteen, and it has been two years since he got married. Even though he can't get married because of Concubine Xi, it's nothing. Avoid it. But look, how many children you had when you were young, and the people who serve you around Lao Ba have not heard from them for several years, and I am still waiting to have a grandson!"

"Emperor Niang is right." Kangxi thought for a while, and it is true that he had six children when he was a child, but the eighth child had no good news at all. If it really didn't work, he said, "My son will be handed down to heaven tomorrow." The supervisor will measure the auspicious day."

"As soon as possible. Concubine Min's body..." The Empress Dowager sighed and shook her head. "There are three disasters and eight disasters. If something happens, Yinyou will have to continue..."

"My son understands."

Qin Tianjian's work efficiency was extremely high, and the seventh day of July was measured to be a good day, so Kangxi directly ordered Fei Yanggu to get ready to marry his daughter.In fact, it refers to the two years of marriage, the things for the married woman are almost ready, the dowry has already been installed, and it is only waiting for some fashionable cloth patterns and jewelry to be added in these days.

Wan Zhao is also very happy in her heart, in less than two months, she will be able to drink daughter-in-law tea.She asked Mu Jin to open all the boxes in her warehouse, and personally chose the wedding decorations for her son: "This pair of plum vases is suitable for thousands of sons and grandchildren; this screen is painted with patterns of flowers and birds that have been together for a hundred years, which is not bad." , and write it down too. By the way, I remember that I brought back a pair of gold-painted screens with everything going well from Jiangning, and I want to take them with me.”

"Yes." Mu Jin followed behind and checked the ledgers one by one, answering from time to time.

"Master has been ordering for a long time, let's take a rest first." Luyu brought a cup of mint tea, "It's hot, and it's not good for master to stay in the warehouse all day. This mint tea is the master's return from the last southern tour. Gong Xiari must drink it, let's taste it first to cool off the heat."

"I'm happy, and I don't feel the heat anymore." Wanzhao felt that she was sweating all over, and quickly poured a cup of mint tea before saying, "I feel at ease when the day is settled. Hibiscus, what I just ordered Put them all away, and send them directly to Elder Brother’s office in a while, and say that I will go over in the afternoon to see how the wedding shed is doing.” Although the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are careful, she still has to do it herself.

"The servant knows." Mu Jin laughed.

In the afternoon, Wanzhao arrives as soon as she talks.She walked freely through the Gandong No. [-] Institute on her three-inch-high flowerpot shoes, and pointed out from time to time: "Put the pair of glass bottles covered with green fields and purple flowers on the table, and they will look good; take down the screen. , the broken jade decoration is so unlucky..." Every time she said a word, the handy eunuch sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs around her did what she said.Immediately, the decorations in Gandong No. [-] Institute also looked a lot better.

Wan Zhao looked at her results with satisfaction, and waited for the arrival of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month with full anticipation.

The engagement banquet was held on an auspicious day by Supervisor Qin Tian, ​​and Ha Feng'a also went because he was not on duty because he met Fei Yanggu.Later, the Sitara family who came to the palace to greet him said that many officers and generals who were in the Junggar campaign had gone, and the scene was very lively.Wan Zhao felt that if it was in modern times, there were so many strong and strong men in the woman's family, and her son would be half-dead by drinking.Fortunately, the big wedding was held in the palace, so that's okay.

On the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Fujin's dowry was brought into the palace, which of course included the ceremonial coins bestowed by the previous emperor, and the Fujin people who gave the dowry were entertained by the House of Internal Affairs.Wan Zhao didn't show up, but sent someone to check it out, and only said that Fujin's dowry was in compliance with the rules, but the production was exquisite, which shows how much Fei Yanggu loves this young girl.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Yinzheng dressed in a mended python robe and went to greet the empress dowager and Kangxi first, and then came to Yongshou Palace and knelt down and kowtowed to Wanzhao twice.At this time, Luan Yiwei prepared eight colorful sedan chairs surrounded by red satin. The head of the House of Internal Affairs with the same year and birthday will lead 20 officials, and one guard will lead 40 guards to marry the new couple.

Wan Zhao got dressed early and was waiting for tonight's dinner.Thinking of his son's heroic spirit when he came to pay his respects this morning, Wan Zhao felt both relieved and sour.In the blink of an eye, the little girl from more than ten years ago, today is the time to marry a daughter-in-law.When the time comes to have a grandson, the new bloodline should continue.

"Master, Babeile sent you this hollowed-out emerald green phoenix-headed rifle. Please wear it." Mujin's voice interrupted Wanzhao's complicated emotions. She looked down at the rifle that was obviously not made inside Shaking, smiling, he took off the golden peony hairpin inlaid with silk and beads on his head and replaced it.

"That child is real, such a good thing should be given to the daughter-in-law." Even though Wanzhao said this, Wanzhao was sweet in his heart.My son didn't marry a wife and forgot his mother!

Wanzhao was always by the empress dowager's side at the family banquet in the evening. As a mother-in-law, she would not be able to see her daughter-in-law until the next morning when the couple came to pay their respects. However, she couldn't stop her from happily communicating with the empress dowager. posture.Da Fujin took a few sisters-in-law to the new house to have a look, and when they came out, they said that the eighth younger siblings looked good, so that the Empress Dowager almost drove to see her in person, but Wanzhao persuaded her up.

"If the Empress Dowager wants to see you, I can see you tomorrow, so why rush for a while?" Wan Zhao poured tea for the Empress Dowager, "That girl is entering the palace for the first time today, and the Empress Dowager must give her time to adapt. "

The empress dowager thought about it for a while, and she was right, so she sat back again.Wan Zhao and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the princes escorted Yinyou to the new house, the banquet among the concubines also ended.Wanzhao looked back three steps at a time, looked at the festive red in the courtyard of Qiandong No. [-] Institute, smiled and walked slowly back to the palace - she needs time to think about how to get along with her daughter-in-law.

On the second day, Yinzhen brought the newly married Dong E family to pay respects to Kangxi, the empress dowager, and the portraits of the empress enshrined in Fengxian Hall one by one.After that, I married Yongshou Palace.He lifted up the robe of the imperial uniform, knelt twice and kowtowed six times, and Dong Eshi also pursed his lips, knelt down twice and bowed twice, and when the salute was finished, Wanzhao quickly let Lvyu help Dong Eshi to sit down.

Dong E's face blushed slightly, and thanked in a low voice.She had the first time with the eighth elder brother last night, and now her body is still aching, thanks to the concubine Shu... no, Er Niang is so careful.

Seeing the sweet and shy faces of the two children, Wanzhao finally felt at ease.Fortunately, her daughter-in-law is not a girl like Qifujin. She first asked someone to give Dong Eshi something, and then told Dong Eshi not to get up to return the salute, and then said to Yinzhen: "You have a family now. Er Niang hopes that you will remember to treat your wife better no matter what. If you are doing business outside, let your daughter-in-law take care of the elder brother's affairs." She also thought that Yinzhen would move out soon. , and said, "After you divide the mansion and go out, the affairs of the mansion should also be handed over to your wife, you understand?"

"My son knows." Yinzhen said with a smile.

Wanzhao gave Dong E's a few more detailed instructions, nothing more than to look at Yinyou well and say that Erniang will decide for you if there is anything, which made Yinyou shout "Eniang will not hurt when she has a daughter-in-law." son."

Dong Eshi lowered her head and listened, and suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was different from what she had imagined.

The author has something to say: It's time for Wan Zhao to teach her daughter-in-law!

PS. In this article, Uncle Kangxi will not stay on the throne until 61 years, and he should abdicate when the elder brother takes over the prince.
