[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

In the next month, Xin Xiuyan was busy with matching matters. Apart from a few personal maids, those concubines also paid attention to the man at the meeting.Most of the women who can enter the palace are not as arrogant as Shen Man.Nearly half of the concubines chose men who were interested in them. After all, the charity conference still had a chance for men and women to meet.For example, when you go shopping in the garden, as long as you meet, a look can indicate intention or innocence.

But there are also many things that make Xin Xiuyan embarrassed, that is, the pairing is not successful, and neither the man nor the woman chooses her.

Xin Xiuyan had to sort it out again, and had a conversation between the two sides, matching them one by one. The concubines are outstanding in appearance and talent, and the man basically has nothing to say, but his previous status as a concubine is not good for people who are married and have official positions. up.

Xin Xiuyan finally matched the twenty or so palace maids including the personal servants.

Chen Shu originally wanted to marry a female official next to the queen, but unfortunately the maidservants in the dye house had their own philosophy of handling life, so they didn't choose him, but Xie Wanying later fell in love with Chen Yi.

Xin Xiuyan just wanted to make this marriage, but Lin Daiyu came into the palace and said that Jia Tanchun was interested.The concubines in the palace are naturally the queen who will make the decisions, but the girls who sign up outside the palace don't need the queen to make the decisions. They can get married by themselves.Therefore, Jia Tanchun told Lin Daiyu what was on his mind. After all, Lin Daiyu was kind-hearted, knowing that Tanchun had repented, and wanted to give her a hand.

Xin Xiuyan had already heard about Jia Tanchun at this time, she didn't care about the provocation of an underage girl, but Xie Wanying was used by her in this matter, her heart was of course inclined to Xie Wanying.

Xin Xiuyan said that Chen Yi was not interested in Jia Tanchun, which was difficult.Lin Daiyu also knew that Xin Xiuyan was not someone who remembered the past, so she didn't doubt it, so she asked other senior officials.

Xin Xiuyan smiled and took out the list of the remaining men who were not matched successfully, and said: "Yu'er really wants to help Miss Jia, choose among these people, and let her brother-in-law and brother-in-law take a look. If Miss Jia doesn't like this A few, you have to let me know as soon as possible."

Lin Daiyu took the list to thank and said, "Your Majesty has a heart."

Xin Xiuyan said: "This palace is also able to make a pair, it is a pair of merit. Miss Jia... there is something pitiful, life is more like a practice, it is difficult for someone to be proud of life, and it is difficult for someone to never make mistakes , the past cannot be traced back. This marriage has taken a step, but it has only just begun."

Lin Daiyu nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is kind, I think my younger sister will understand."

Xin Xiuyan said with a smile: "There are so many people who want to get married, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, so that the garment shops and jewelry shops below are ready to make a fortune."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Mother Zhao and the others have already prepared."

Lin Daiyu went to Jia's mansion to see Jia Tanchun, and only after getting the news did she enter the palace to plan for her, and she also knew that Shunpinghou's mansion intended to marry Shen Man to Jia Huan.

Lin Daiyu said: "Aunt Zhao is very happy, and my grandmother also strongly agrees. It's hard for me to say anything even if I have a foreign surname."

Back then when the three sisters first arrived in the capital, they were guests at Shi Hui's mansion. County Princess Xianning and Shen Man still remembered Pai Daiyu, knowing that they might not be close relatives.

Xin Xiuyan had heard from Tu Yuanyi that her ex-boyfriend and ex-friend were also transmigrated together.After time travel, they had never met each other lightly, and she did not waste her new life on irrelevant people.

Xin Xiuyan thought about the past life, she chuckled, and said: "Everyone has their own destiny, in terms of family history, Shen's and Jia Huan are more than enough."

Lin Daiyu sighed: "It's not that I'm talking about cousin Huan. Although he has outstanding talents, he was a young man in high school, and now the sage is gradually promoted, but his ambition to marry a wife is also a little higher. Now it is true to marry this Hou family daughter, What about the descendants of the clan, I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Although Shen Man used to be a concubine, she was never really favored. Shen Man didn't know it back then, but after so many years, how could she not understand it? The matchmaker also hinted at Jia Huan about this matter.And with Yijun Wangfu as a mediator, for Jia Huan, who has always been restricted by his birth and his parents' reputation is hindered, this is indeed a good marriage.Mother Jia intends to take advantage of the power of Yijun Palace to get Jia Zheng out, so Mother Jia supports Jia Huan in her sick body, and Aunt Zhao is full of joy.

No matter how good Xin Xiuyan and Daiyu were, at this time she would not tell her that she had dug a hole for Shen Man. Shen Man chose Jia Huan instead of Duan Zhi, who was dignified, stable and talented.Although Jia Huan is talented, his character is not very good. To put it bluntly, he is a hanger in the soul. He is not as good as Duan Zhi as a husband.For Xin Xiuyan, it is better not to marry her confidant who she does not like and is hostile to her.Jia Huan was not his confidant in the first place, and Jia Huan still had strong self-thoughts. Shen wanted to control him, but it turned out that both of them suffered.

In this way, she is not a good person.

Xin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Sister can also be a matchmaker. The point of view of people and things is whether it is easy to kiss."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blushed, and laughed angrily: "Your Majesty is a matchmaker for so many people all at once, but she's talking about me."

Xin Xiuyan sighed: "When I get old, I changed from a naive and romantic girl to a mother of three children, and then became a matchmaker. Sometimes I look back and think that youth is only a few short years, and when it is not fully conscious, it flies away. gone."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help being moved, her eyes were full of love, and she said: "I remember my sister said that no matter whether it is the passing of youth or the blooming of flowers, it is a happy event if you seek kindness and get kindness."

Xin Xiuyan naturally did not remember, Xuan Langzhong looked at the peerless woman in front of her seriously with majestic eyebrows, but she thought that she was once a woman who could make "The Song of Burying Flowers", but now she is optimistic about the short life.

She chuckled, nodded and said, "That's the case!"

……

Duan Zhi was favored by Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng invited him to visit the mansion to enjoy the flowers, and proposed that Duan Zhi was a veteran military adviser after all, so he would not refuse to offend others.He only said that he came from a poor family and had to see if his horoscope matches. Wang Ziteng naturally understood this and had no objection.So the two also had a good time with each other.

However, Duan Zhi also begged Xin Xiuyan for this, and was summoned by her.It is said that the harem and the former dynasty are two systems, but the queen's other identity is the governor of Sichuan, and Tu Yuanyi did not forbid her to see his courtiers.

Duan Zhi originally fell in love with Xue Jue, who is good at tea ceremony and is gentle and amiable.It turns out that Duan Zhi loves tea, and he loves to make a pot of tea for writing articles or basking in the sun. He remembers Xue Jue at the tea ceremony when he sees her, besides, he recognizes her as someone close to the queen.It's a pity that Xuejue was born as a maidservant, and she felt that Qi Dafei was not a coincidence, and that she wanted to start her own career, and she was afraid that there were many pedantic scholars, so she was not the one who chose him.

Xin Xiuyan was a bit surprised, and said with a smile: "I really don't know this Miss Wang, but her cousin is the wife of my cousin, and she is very aggressive."

Duan Zhi didn't hide anything, and said: "Although Mr. Wang can still chat with his subordinates, but his subordinates have also heard some things, so they have to be cautious."

Xin Xiuyan said: "The daughter of the Wang family is very courageous. For a man who is not familiar with common affairs, such a woman is very dangerous to marry. However, it may not be impossible to be a helper if she is well trained. Although Wang Ziteng has shortcomings, his ability and reading ability But others can't compare, if old Duan gets his advice, it will be an opportunity that others can't ask for."

Duan Zhi said: "This subordinate just wants to marry a housewife and leave a incense."

Xin Xiuyan just laughed it off.She understands that people have selfishness and desires, and emperors employing people must tolerate people's selfishness and desires, and when the bottom line is violated and cannot be tolerated, then kill the other party.

I hope that Duan Zhi is a smart person, and Duan Zhi is her man. This kind of combination is not harmful to her now.

Xin Xiuyan asked again: "I have seen Miss Wang, how does she look like?"

Duan Zhi couldn't help but blush, Wang Xiluan's appearance is slightly inferior to Wang Xifeng's when he was young, but he will never be worse.

"The appearance is very good, but I am afraid that my temperament will not match."

Xin Xiuyan said: "There used to be a saying in Jinling that the East China Sea lacked white jade beds, so the Dragon King invited the King of Jinling. In the past ten years, after many things, the Wang family is not as good as before, but if it is not for chance, most people still cannot marry the daughter of the Wang family. Marry Wang Xiluan, teach her not to become Jia Wang's family. So, hehe, it doesn't matter."

As she said that, she took a sip of tea leisurely with a cup in her hand, indescribably elegant and unrestrained.

Duan Zhi also understood that the queen did not object. In fact, without the support of the queen, Duan Zhi would not dare to marry.Falling out of favor with the queen, there is really a prince to help, Duan Zhi is at the end of his official career, the queen is not so short of people.

Duan Zhi is a smart person, but Duan Zhi understands that behind the queen's magnanimity, her resourcefulness and scheming are no less than anyone he knows.

He has come a long way since he was an outstanding talent, and what he insists on is to keep up with the Queen's footsteps, no matter in thought or in action.

Duan Zhi decided to accept the marriage.Unlike other brothers who borrowed the real estate and courtyard of Cheng'en Gong Mansion or Dingzhong Hou Mansion to get married, Wang Ziteng should be prepared at Wang's house, and Duan Zhi just needs the person and the dowry to go.Both of Duan Zhi's parents died, and Wang Ziteng's marriage to a daughter is almost equivalent to recruiting a son-in-law. He has to get what he wants, and he hasn't been so happy in the past few years.

Throughout October, there were people getting married every day in Kyoto, and those concubines whose natal families were out of town were all arranged to get married in Cheng'en Gong's mansion.Cheng'en Gong's mansion is full of firecrackers and drums every day, avoiding the few days when marriage is forbidden. Almost every day, a groom official comes to welcome the bride, which has become a spectacle in Kyoto.

Fortunately, Cheng En Gong's mansion is big enough, with few serious masters, it can accommodate more than a dozen palace brides, and the empress has enough capable sisters and subordinates to help manage it.More than a dozen brides who came out of the palace were all well-married, and the bride and groom were all satisfied.

However, after Jia Huan and Shen Man made a marriage agreement, King Yijun had no choice but to intercede with the old sage to release Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.Otherwise, it would be too ugly to let the granddaughter marry a family whose parents-in-law are still in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

King Yi Jun has criticisms about Shen Man's vision, but his granddaughter is determined to marry Jia Huan, a young genius, just like she wanted to enter the palace despite dissuasion.

It's not that Prince Yi didn't resent his granddaughter for being treated like this, but he thought it would be embarrassing and troublesome for the emperor, but it was also the worst thing for his own mansion. It's not a good thing for the emperor and queen to hold grudges.

At this time, the old sage was still very nostalgic, and he wanted to make amends, so he agreed with a sigh.

Then the old sage said when he summoned the empress to eat with the three buns that evening, Tu Yuanyi looked at Xin Xiuyan.It was Tu Yuanyi's order to imprison Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang because of Xing Xiuyan's disaster.

Since Xin Xiuyan had been back in the palace for so long, Jia Yuanchun knew a little about her grievances, so she was naturally displeased.

"Since the father and the emperor have spoken, how can the minister and daughter-in-law not respond? If you offend me, I will forgive you once. If you violate the laws of the country in the future, you will never forgive me lightly."

But Xin Xiuyan thought again, this time Zhao Jiahuan's house is very lively, if you want to talk about this fate, it's really wonderful.She actually had the idea of ​​being a melon-eating crowd, and she didn't know if it was a sin.
