[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

On June [-]th, Baochai will be considered a grand wedding, because there is Shi Zhang presiding over the marriage, so the elder nephew will not be wronged, and Baochai is finally different from the original book that said that worshiping the church is just worshiping the church.

Because of the benefits of Baochai in the original book and the face of the Shi family, Xing Xiuyan naturally rewarded Baochai.

Shi Li was really lucky to marry Baochai. If Baochai hadn't been born in a merchant family, had no father, and her elder brother would be useless, to be honest, even if Shi Li was talented and rich, she wouldn't be worthy of her "beautiful crown and beauty".However, Baochai's condition is based on the ancient times of her father and brother. In reality, Shi Li is already a good choice for her.

On June 26, the Shi family held a bigger wedding banquet. Shi Rui married Li Tong, the daughter of Li Xun's family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.It's not that the Shi family is partial to their relatives, the woman's family background is different, and it's her first marriage, not a continuation, so naturally there must be a little difference. Shi Li is also a person who has read the poems and books of etiquette and righteousness thoroughly, so he didn't worry about it.

Years go by like water, but in July, Shi Xiangyun is also married to Wei Ruolan. Xing Xiuyan also wants to add makeup when she finds out.But she said that Shi Xiangyun's marriage was also chosen by her aunt. Shi Xiangyun's father was originally the most talented of the three Shi family brothers, and could die in battle.The current Mrs. Baolinghou wants to get along with Shi Xiangyun no matter what, so she also chose the grandson of the Hou family for her.

However, Wei Ruolan's background is somewhat disturbing, she is the eldest grandson of Marquis Pingnan, although he is favored by his grandfather, but his parents died early, so he is not liked by his grandmother.And Marquis Pingnan still has two legitimate sons and two concubine sons, and there are seven or eight people in the third generation.

Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu are friends, and Wei Ruolan is also Xiao Jingyun's friend. The couple feel that they are destined, but at this moment they are harmonious.

Shi Xiangyun's life in Pingnanhou's mansion is not bad now, because although Wei Ruolan's grandmother doesn't like Wei Ruolan, her own several daughter-in-laws can't get Shi Xiangyun to set the rules every day.The female family members of the Pingnan Hou Mansion always thought that Shi Xiangyun and the imperial concubine were familiar because of the makeup of the imperial concubine, and outsiders seemed to be relatives of the Jia mansion.Noble concubines are not easy to mess with, and there is always a consensus among the noble women's families in the capital.

After a long time, the female family members in the back house are bored, so they will naturally gossip in private. Nowadays, the noble concubine only favors the harem. Last year, Cheng Engong became a third-rate nobleman because Empress Dowager Liu was a wicked mother-in-law, and the saint had a fit.Who made the imperial concubine feel grudged, if she blows some pillow breeze, her husband and son's official career may be hindered.Even the woman in the back house who is jealous of the "demon concubine" of this dynasty probably won't act like a concubine.

Shi Xiangyun had only spent ten and a half months in Pingnanhou's mansion, and after getting along with him, he understood that the "great good man" Concubine Chen was helping her again, because the concubine added makeup to her when she got married, and she had no father or mother. No one dared to underestimate the person in her husband's family, and there was a feeling of gratitude in my heart.

In July, Feng Ziying was influenced by Xiao Jingyun and Wei Ruolan. He was a bold person, and he thought it would be a good thing to be a "cousin-in-law".Moreover, he knew Jia Baoyu, knew that the girls from Jia's house were better than others, and his family was looking for a wife for him, so he told Feng Tang, Marquis of Martial Arts and his mother, that he intended to propose to Jia Yingchun.

When the Feng family proposed marriage, Mrs. Xing was elated when she saw that she was a prince. Jia Amnesty also knew that Jia Yingchun was getting old and could no longer stay at home. Talents from such a family could not be found anywhere else, so of course she agreed.

By the end of July, Xing Li's expected date of delivery, Xing Xiuyan had already sent people to send several thousand-year-old ginseng to her.

On July 22, it was Mrs. Xing who handed over the sign. She brought Sister Feng's mother and daughter, Daiyu, Shi Hui, Yingchun, Xichun who lived with Yingchun, and the newly married Su Fuer, Shi Xiangyun, Baochai, Shi Ruixin's wife Li Tong, etc. A group of women came to see him.

Shi Xiangyun was actually brought here by Daiyu, she always wanted to see the concubine and eldest sister, but Baochai and Li Tong came here with Shi Hui, because they are Shi Hui's sister-in-law and cousin sister-in-law now.Shi Li is now living in a courtyard of Shi Bai's house, but the expenses are still paid by his eldest family, after all, Shi Li already has Baochai at this time.

Baochai treated Shi Zhang's family like a mother-in-law on weekdays, and she also got Shi Hui's favor.Shi Wan'er still looked like that, Shi Zhang was afraid that she would offend the imperial concubine, and Shi Hui also felt that she would lose face and cause trouble, so naturally she didn't come.

Fu, Xiang, and Chai received grace when they were newly married, and at this time they also came here to express their gratitude.

Because Taiji Palace is the residence of saints after all, Xing Xiuyan entertained many female relatives in Lingbo Palace, and even set up banquets and plays.

Seeing that most of the "Jinling Twelve Beauties" were present, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but feel a little elated, as if he cut off Tom Sujia Baoyu's beard.

This time Madam Xing was actually the first time to pass the sign back into the palace to meet the imperial concubine, and it was her turn to take the lead because of Mrs. Xing and Li's inconvenience.

Mrs. Xing naturally wanted her good niece to promote her daughter more, so she talked with Xing Xiuyan about Yingchun's marriage.Xing Xiu has been surrounded by smoke for a long time, Yingchun's marriage has just been settled, she doesn't know yet.

Xing Xiuyan knew that Feng Ziying, who was a son-in-law and a bold-tempered person, would not be like Sun Shaozu, so he couldn't help but be delighted.

Yingchun has been with Sister Feng for a long time, and Mrs. Xing is devoted to marrying her daughter to a high-ranking backer who loves her very much. Although she is still honest and amiable, she is quite cheerful.

Mrs. Xing must have had some intentions at first, but after loving her for a long time, she has real feelings.

Yingchun heard about her marriage and wanted to run away, but how could she walk around in the palace?I had no choice but to let Xing Xiuyan hold hands and talk and laugh.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "My aunt and Lian's second sister-in-law have to work hard. General Jia has only such a daughter, so she should marry into the Hou's mansion."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Grandma has been busy for a long time, and invited many masters to do the dowry."

Xing Xiuyan asked: "Is the material good?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Aunt Xue's shop transferred a batch of good wood and gave us a discounted price."

Xing Xiuyan looked at Baochai, and said with a smile: "Grandma Shi, don't lose your money. Lian's second sister-in-law is also a rich man, and she dares not be stingy in making a dowry for her own sister."

Baochai didn't have time to answer, Wang Xifeng groaned and said, "Your Majesty doesn't take such bullying people. When a mother-in-law marries a daughter, I have to arrange the dowry."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Who doesn't know what Lian's second sister-in-law is capable of? Besides, I've heard from my third sister that Lian's second cousin is also the best at making money."

Wang Xifeng laughed: "I don't know who it is, it turns out that Cousin Hui betrayed her cousin long ago, I have pity on your cousin who wholeheartedly regards you as his own sister."

Daiyu naturally favored Shi Hui, and said with a smile: "Isn't my cousin Lian's second cousin's biological sister? The third sister is what she should be."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Sister Lin, be careful not to offend me, when the time comes, your second cousin Lian will have to carry you into the sedan chair!"

Jia Lian is Daiyu's closest elder brother, so when Daiyu gets married, Jia Lian is going to be his brother-in-law again.

Daiyu was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground. It turned out that she had met her fiancé. Since the engagement, every few days, something was delivered to Lin's residence, including some letters from Xiao Jingyun.The two are already engaged, so it's not considered a private affair, Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Sun just turned a blind eye.

Xiao Jingyun talked about poetry and articles in the letter, and gave her books, calligraphy and paintings to appreciate. Daiyu was full of talent, so she wrote a few poems in the letter to reply when she was interested.And in May, when Xiao Jingyun won the champion of martial arts, Tu Yuanyi was in high spirits, and gave him the top works of his arsenal, the "Gentlemen's Sword" and "Lady's Sword", and then he also gave the "Lady's Sword" to him Daiyu.

Daiyu is a real lady, she can't dance with swords, she can't laugh or cry.But every time she thinks of her future husband, who is capable of both civil and military affairs, and is forthright, even though her future in-laws are a bit playful, she still looks forward to it.And Lin Ruhai found out that his future son-in-law was really talented, and his daughter was also attracted to her, and she liked Xiao Jingyun a lot.

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, all the girls went out of the palace, and Xing Xiuyan was in a good mood and returned to the Manna Hall by chariot.

This trip through the Red Mansion actually changed the fate of most of the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" and gave them a good marriage.Xing Xiuyan is inevitably complacent, thinking that it is an innovative breakthrough of the woman who traveled through the Red Chamber.

Because she has a bit of sympathy for her daughter by nature, and she also has a mind that is rare for ordinary women, and she values ​​kindness and righteousness, so she has formed a good relationship.

Xing Xiuyan himself did not expect that "brother-in-law", "brother-in-law", "cousin-in-law", "cousin-in-law", "yoshie brother", and "cousin" would occupy most of the court's important officials in the future.To Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, and Baochai, she originally wanted to repay the favor of the original owner, but she only had the intention of being the backer of the foreign court for Su Fuer's marriage, the Lin family, and the Shi family, and she never thought of this level.

At this time, she also fetched the piano to caress, thinking that most of the poor daughters have got rid of Jia Baoyu now, and they don't have to be the victims of his wealth and experience in the world of mortals.Now the beauties seem to be all around her.

Can't help changing the tune, the elegant classical music turned into modern pop music, played a song "I Can't Put It Down", and sang from my mouth.

Just when I sang "Aha... Let me hand over my hands to make you happy, let everyone sing and pass on through the ages", but I saw that Tu Yuanyi had finished approving today's memorial, and had a private meeting with three groups of important ministers, and came back from "off work".

After she stopped singing, Tu Yuanyi said, "Keep singing!"

She scratched her forehead embarrassingly, and said, "The Music of Mimi." How could she have the right to love beauties so much, if this song was sung by Tu Yuanyi, it would be the same, if he accepts all beauties.

Tu Yuanyi seldom listened to her sing those popular songs. If she sang when she was A Piao, she would scare herself, but after transmigrating, because of the age gap, and she is not from the brothel in Jiaofang, it is not easy to sing.

Tu Yuanyi insisted that she finish singing, so she had to play the piano carefully and start from the beginning.

Listening to the lyrics, Tu Yuanyi couldn't help his eyes flickering, looking at her and laughing playfully.

"I can't let go of your beauty, don't wait until my hair turns white to regret~~ah, I'm drunk with you today, I can't let go of your beauty, let me embrace the beauty..."

Finally finished singing, Tu Yuanyi smiled and clapped his hands, saying: "Ai Fei has a good voice, why did she think of singing today?"

Xing Xiuyan still explained: "I didn't compose this song, it's...you understand. I saw a lot of beauties today, so I'm in a good mood."

Tu Yuanyi held his daughter-in-law in his arms again, looked left and right, and said: "I love beauties so much, next month I will go north hunting, do you want to bring some beauties to accompany you?"

Xing Xiuyan thought he was going to take the concubine there, and said: "I can't talk with them, and I feel guilty when I see your concubine."

Tu Yuanyi said: "Who said it was them? Do you want to take He Yuxian Jun to play?"

Xing Xiuyan wondered: "Can I take her there? She is going to get married at the end of the year..."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said, "Silly Xiuxiu, Xiao Jingyun is escorting the Holy Army."

Tu Yuanyi has seen Xiao Jingyun's martial arts and military strategy theory, he is interested in the army, Tu Yuanyi is thinking about the troubles in the north, and also intends to cultivate a confidant who can lead one side.Think about Han Wu having Wei Qing and Huo Qubing; Han Guang Wu having Yuntai 28 generals;For example, Zhou Xianchuan, Feng Tang and others were not his people.Most of the people he promoted later were not as qualified as he wanted.

Tu Yuanyi sometimes thought that he happened to be his brother-in-law, and he was afraid that God gave him someone, so he naturally valued him more.Tu Yuanyi also often called him to talk about military affairs. The understanding of this liberal arts explorer is really not comparable to that of ordinary generals.Tu Yuanyi knew that it was important for him to marry a daughter-in-law, so he could make an appointment with a beautiful woman and fall in love with him when he gave him a grace.

Tu Yuanyi compared his heart with his heart, he had his country in his hands, and his daughter-in-law was in his arms, what a beautiful thing, it was completely different from the days in his previous life when he had worked so hard for the country's misery, and had a beautiful hair early, but no one understood or cared for him.

A hero matched with a beautiful woman is exactly the same as the ancient style, but now the etiquette is too rigid, which is not beautiful.

Xing Xiuyan was naturally happy, but he still had to ask the Lin family.Mrs. Sun was pregnant and naturally couldn't go, and the household department was busy in autumn, so it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to accompany her.
