Red House Farm Stay

The emperor summoned Huo Shangshu and wanted to marry his granddaughter to the King of Zhongyong. Wouldn't it be another good thing for the monarch and his ministers to give the imperial decree before the army set off?

The emperor was immersed in his own imagination, and he didn't see Huo Shangshu's face changed at all.

"The emperor has an order, so I dare not disobey. It's just that the granddaughter of the minister has been weak since she was a child. The doctor said that she was afraid of hindering the heirs. Because of this, the wife wanted to keep her for a few more years to take good care of her body. If it is really hopeless, find us Someone who can take care of her. This matter has a lot to do with it, and there is no rumor from outside. If it wasn't for the emperor's intention, the old minister would never say such things."

After Huo Shangshu finished speaking, his face was full of pain.

The emperor was dumbfounded, it would be fine if there were other problems, for the royal family, the most important thing is the heirs.If it is an evasive statement, such a statement will affect the girls of the whole Huo family. Huo Shangshu is not only the grandfather, but also the patriarch of the Huo family.Come to think of it, he didn't dare to joke about such a thing.

After Huo Shangshu left the palace, his expression became depressed. He found someone and ordered privately, "See who recommended the Huo family's daughter."

The daughter of the Huo family would not have been too conspicuous, and had a reputation for being a hero. Most wealthy families would not dare to marry her.For the royal family, it is even more important to marry a wife and ask for a lady, and Huo's daughter is definitely not a good match.

Soon the news came back, since the emperor entered the empress palace to chat about the marriage of King Zhongyong, the emperor suddenly liked Huo's daughter.It is more appropriate to call it manageable than gentle and honest.

"Hmph, as expected of a queen who climbed up from a slave in the palace, she doesn't have the slightest pattern of being a mother in the world, only a vitriolic and calculating petty air." Huo Shangshu received the secret report and snorted a few times. He would rather marry his granddaughter in the future. It's not easy to marry, and I will never marry the royal family, let alone someone like King Zhongyong.

The emperor is still cherishing Huo's daughter, but King Zhongyong personally asks the emperor to marry Miss Fourteen of the Jun family.Said that he met Miss Fourteen accidentally, and vowed not to marry unless she was the only one. The imperial decree of marriage bestowed by the emperor was called a heaven-sent marriage.

Suddenly, the Jun family became the most prestigious family in Jinling City.The two prostitutes, one is the concubine of the eldest son, who will be the future concubine if nothing else happens, and the other is the concubine of King Zhongyong, who are truly extremely noble.

In the eyes of insiders, this Zhongyong Princess is really a poor person.Not yet married, already doomed to a miserable life.

"Why is it the fourteenth lady of the Jun family, isn't there a few older sisters who are not engaged?" Jia Zhuo asked Ping'er.

"Miss Fourteen is a concubine's biological sister." Ping'er was familiar with the relatives of these aristocratic families. When Jia Zhuo asked, he immediately answered.

What does King Zhongyong want to do after marrying the younger sister of the crown prince?

Jia Lan was also thinking, what exactly does he want to do?But he has no time to think about this problem, because the food and grass are raised smoothly, and the army is about to leave.

Marshal Huo led the army, General Du, Du Xiao, Jia Lan, and Jiang Jing and Cai Yan, whom Jia Zhuo knew, all became part of the army on the same day, and went to the two houses to destroy the anti-king.

The atmosphere in Jinling City suddenly became tense, and King Zhongyong took the opportunity to propose an early marriage. The emperor thought about having a happy event to relax, so he agreed.

The Ministry of Rites has long been preparing for the marriage of King Zhongyong.Even if the woman felt rushed, she still finished the marriage within two months.

When the people watching the ceremony came back, they all said behind their backs that the concubine married by King Zhongyong didn't know what he was trying to do.King Zhongyong had no children, and married such a young girl, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait to have a child.

Jia Zhuo followed Ping'er to see Fangling. She is pregnant now and can eat and sleep but is afraid of the heat. The days are going to summer, and the hotter she can't do without the ice every day.I can't wait to soak in ice water all day long, and because she is pregnant, the whole family dare not let her use it too much, so they can only put an ice basin in the corner, and let the maid use a fan to fan some cool air.

When they arrived, all they saw was Fang Ling who had already put on a thin cotton skirt, shouting to roll up her sleeves.The maids really had nothing to do with her, so they had to watch helplessly as the mistress rolled up her sleeves and exposed her arms to talk to the guests.

"Anyway, it's in front of you, so let's make a fool of yourself. I'm so hot that I can't help it." Fangling yelled to serve them ice bowls.

The maid was angry and funny, and the master said to accompany the guests again, so let's take the opportunity to eat a bowl by himself.

When the ice bowl was served, Fang Ling lifted the lid of her own bowl contentedly, scooped it up with a spoon, and said angrily, "Why doesn't mine have ice?"

"My aunt, just calm down, don't look at your stomach, and dare to eat ice." Ping'er smiled and shook his head, really like a child.

"It's not this little ancestor, I don't even know if I'm pregnant with a stove or a child." Fang Ling ate water chestnuts from the bowl.

While talking, it started to rain outside, and many little girls stood in the yard, stretching out their hands to feel the coolness of the rain.

"Finally it's raining. A few days ago, the dry land was almost cracked. It hasn't rained until now." Ping'er was very happy to see the rain outside.

"I can count on a good night's sleep." Fangling felt a bit of coolness in the wind, and most of the heat in her heart disappeared immediately, and her smiling face blossomed.

Only Jia Zhuo didn't laugh. She still remembered what Wang Gou'er said. There will be a severe drought this year, and maybe there will be another severe flood.

If the rain has been non-stop, the situation may be more serious.

Taking some time off, Jia Zhuo went to Wang's house. At this time, it had been raining heavily for three days.Grandma touched Jia Zhuo's hand and didn't let go. Qing'er squeezed over and wrapped around Jia Zhuo's waist, "Miss Zhuo, my father said that the bad guys who hurt you before were all beaten by the officials. Is it true?" Is it?"

"Of course it's true." Jia Zhuo patted Qing'er's head before thinking about the business.Take Qing'er away, invite Liu Shi in, and tell them that Ban'er has sent a letter, talking about Qing'er's marriage.

"Is there a suitable candidate for Ban'er?" Liu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, didn't I discuss it with my family before, and I wanted to wait for my elder brother to fight the rebellion and find a military officer with good military skills. As a result, Ban'er sent a letter, saying that he met a good person in Andu Mansion , I think it matches Qing'er very well. I won't mention Brother Lan's side, wait for Ban'er to come back and see what kind of person he is, if it's really good, let's promise him later."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Liu had heard Jia Zhuo's arrangement before, and already thought it was very good.But my son said it was good, and I thought it was really good.My daughter is fourteen years old, and when it's time to talk about her husband's family, I wish I could fly over to a young talented man to make a marriage, so that I can let go of the big stone in my heart.

Apart from these being the dowry, what Jia Zhuo meant was that all the dowry that grandma prepared before would be given to Qing'er, and she would add a little more.

"How can that be done? The money is yours originally, but it's just a dowry to pay you back. We will arrange Qing'er's dowry. If the other party looks down on Qing'er because of the dowry, then it's okay not to marry." Grandma Liu refused, and Liu's eyes flickered for a while, but she didn't speak.

"My parents are preparing a dowry for me. If I know that I have to take my grandma's dowry, I'm afraid they won't think about it." Jia Zhuo shook his grandma's hand and persuaded her, "Now I'm doing business with the young lady of the Li family and I've made a lot of money. A lot of silver, I have no shortage of silver, really."

Jia Zhuo is really not short of money. She is a little girl, and Du Pinger has prepared everything for her, and there are monthly allowances, so she doesn't need her own money at all.

"You don't need to mention this anymore. What's yours is yours. If you continue to talk about it, you will look down on what grandma prepared for you." Grandma Liu was unreasonable, so Jia Zhuo had no choice but to not mention it. After marrying into the Wang family, she will be the master at that time, and grandma can't say anything.

On the way back, she stopped by Suyunfang, the business was still good, Xiaocai and the five maids also worked very hard.The youngest girl, Haiyue, still didn't dare to raise her head to look at people, she only dared to hide aside to look at her secretly. When she found out, she lowered her head again, blinking her thick eyelashes, very playful and cute.

Jia Lian bought a house, waited for the registration, and then refurbished it and took the whole family to see it.

"How about it? You and Ban'er will be married in the future, and you will live here. It's also close to your mother's house. If there's anything, you can send someone to run a few steps to inform us." Jia Lian was very proud, this house is not easy to find It was found by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and sold to him at the lowest price.

"For me?" Jia Zhuo looked around, and found that it was even bigger than Jia's current house, and it was a big house with three entrances.

"I can't. You should move into this house. In the future, Brother An will marry a wife and have grandchildren. Don't you think he's still crowded in the small courtyard now?"

"How many years will it take for Brother An to marry a wife? You just can't trust your father so much. We will definitely be able to change to a bigger house by then." Rubbing, with silver in hand, the old problem returned.

"Why don't you change it? You move to a big house, and I will leave the current house as a dowry." Jia Zhuo thought this was acceptable, and she explained, "The Wang family will not be able to send such a big house all at once. will not adapt."

"I don't care if they are comfortable or not, they kidnapped me..." Ping'er next to him pulled his sleeves, and had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words, "Forget it, forget it, it's up to you, then let's move quickly, Get married from this big house."

Jia Lian snorted, went back and added another one to the original Zhuangzi, and asked Ping'er angrily, "Wang's family, Wang's family all day long, has she thought about our feelings?"

"Why don't you want to? Don't you want us to move to the big house? You give her the big house as a dowry and live in the small house by yourself. She feels very sorry."

"Really?" Jia Lian's eyes lit up, so to speak, the daughter said that on purpose to show filial piety to him.

"Of course it's true. I've been with her for so long, don't I understand? Just like her mother, she has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart." Ping'er laughed at Jia Lian's appearance, and said solemnly.

"This brat, I don't know when I'll come back. I don't care about anything else, just wait to be the bridegroom's official." After picking on the Wang family, he began to pick on Baner. , How much do you care about.

After King Zhongyong got married, he treated his wife very tenderly and cared for him. After returning home in three days, Yiqianjun's family members were dumbfounded.Mrs. Jun is even more in love with the queen, praying to the sky again and again, thinking that it is the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

"Mother, don't worry, the lord is really good to me, and the mansion is very quiet, there are no random people who come out to make trouble." Before Miss Fourteen went out, she vaguely heard from her family that she should be careful of people who are not three or four. , of course no one dared to tell her that Longyang is good, how could a lady in the boudoir know about King Zhongyong.

She always thought that her family members were the concubines in Prince Zhongyong's mansion, but when she went over, she found that there were not many concubines, and all of them were honest, and the prince took good care of her, so she let go of her previously hanging heart.He secretly rejoiced that this was a good match from heaven, so he naturally scoffed at the rumors outside.

"However, the lord always asks about my son's brother-in-law, and I don't know what to say." Miss Fourteen's only worry is whether she should tell the fact that her sister is not favored.

"Your correspondence with your sister is nothing more than talking about a woman's private affairs. How can your sister know about the outside world. She just needs to guard her son, and that's enough." Mrs. Jun's meaning, Miss Fourteen, understood. Anyway, sister has already been born. The next son, Youjun's family is in Jinling, and now she is the loyal and brave princess. The elder sister's son will be the son in the future, and will be the future King Suqing.

Therefore, there is no need to mention other things, and it is inappropriate to say more.

"I understand, mother, don't worry, I won't let you down, I will live a very good life." Miss Fourteen snuggled into her mother's arms. At this time, she felt that she had everything. Good and happy.

In the palace, Jia Peng is leaning against the window with the emperor to watch the rain scene.

"It's so foggy, it seems like you're in the midst of mist, why isn't Zi Tong happy?" The emperor couldn't help asking as he watched Jia Peng frown deeply while drinking tea.

"How can the concubine be unhappy? It's just that the emperor is learning farming these days, and he is afraid that there will be a flood because of the heavy rain. The concubine is also worried."

"Don't worry, as long as the two prefectures are taken back and the banditry in other places is quelled, the official way will be solved. The world is so big, it's not all droughts and floods, there are always places where there is a good harvest." Worried, he always felt that he was the master of the Ming Dynasty, but he was just unlucky, and he was just cleaning up the mess left by his ancestors.It's not that Grandpa Huang insisted on seeing a woman from Wajima, so why did he have today.

"I heard that the area around Andu Prefecture has a bumper harvest year after year. Didn't they say it's not easy to grow food there?" Jia Peng's eyes widened, with a puzzled expression on his face. He looked like a mother of a seven-year-old child, but a [-]-year-old girl Innocent and lovely.

"How do you know that Andu Mansion has a good harvest?" The emperor asked doubtfully.

"Yong'er's concubine is what the little fourteenth of the Jun family said. You forgot that there is a daughter in the Jun family who married the eldest son of King Suqing. Didn't she have a son who just turned one year old?" Jia Peng drummed Cheek, biting an almond, said very casually.

King Zhongyong's marriage to the fourteenth lady of the Jun family was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. At that time, he thought it was a good thing to have a son who became brother-in-law with King Suqing's eldest son.Now that I have tasted it, "So, the relationship between Shizi Concubine and Yonger's Concubine is very good."

Jia Peng pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, they are sisters, and they grew up together, how could it be bad."

The emperor let out a gloomy "Oh", and he didn't know what he thought of, and his interest suddenly dropped.

Jia Peng quickly covered his mouth, and realized later, "Your Majesty, did my concubine say something that shouldn't be said?"

"No, what you said is right." The emperor stroked Jia Peng's hair, seeing her innocent smile on his face, he felt better.

Jia Peng quickly changed the subject, trying to make the emperor happy.The emperor saw through her little thoughts, and couldn't help but smile, everyone is deeply scheming, only Peng'er is always so pure and kind.

The Jun family prepared a large number of gifts for their grandson's first birthday, and specially sent someone they could trust in the family to deliver them.He was also afraid that there would be bandits along the way, so he contacted the Escort everywhere.Miss Fourteen just said something casually, and King Zhongyong sent his personal guards to escort them to Andu Mansion to give gifts.

Of course, Miss Fourteen was so touched that the Jun family also thought that he was going astray and turned back, and finally had enough fun and knew to turn around.

Jia Zhuo heard the gossip, touched his nose and picked up a pen to write a letter to Ban'er.She didn't believe a word about the prodigal son turning back.

Ban'er follows Mr. Zhou in Andu Mansion, and has a stable residence, and communication is very convenient.Letters from Baner were often slow, but letters from Jia Zhuo were received very quickly.

Jia Zhuo wrote a letter and delivered it to Ban'er before Jun's convoy arrived at Andu Mansion.

Ban'er took the letter, frowned after reading it, and immediately sent it to Mr. Zhou.

"So, our King Zhongyong can't wait any longer?" Mr. Zhou snorted coldly, he didn't like King Zhongyong at all.

Ban'er stood by with his hands down, not daring to say a word.

"Why, aren't you very courageous? You also know how to help people plan to send out Jinling City, and now you are pretending to be quail."

Ban'er patted his head and said embarrassedly: "I never thought that Young Master Ninth would have such a background."

"Then you know now." Mr. Zhou looked at him with a clear meaning, wondering what he thought.

The Ninth Young Master arrived at Andu Mansion before their group, and lobbied King Suqing to no avail, and wandered endlessly in Andu Mansion.Until Mr. Zhou and the others came, out of admiration for Mr. Zhou, the ninth son participated in the literary meeting under a pseudonym.

His knowledge is already good, but with his family ruined, he has become even more accomplished in painting. He has successfully attracted the attention of Mr. Zhou, knowing that he has no fixed place to live, and even invited him to live in his mansion.

The opportunity is rare, so he naturally does good things, and even wants to use Mr. Zhou's influence to help him avenge him.It wasn't until Mr. Zhou told him that the imperial court was preparing to wipe out the anti-king, that he was ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, but after a few days of happiness, I saw the posted imperial list.This blow was something Jiu Gongzi could not accept no matter what.He thought about all the possibilities, but he never thought that the dirty blood of the Wa Island people actually flowed on his body.

Ban'er saw that something was wrong, so he ate and lived with him, pulling him back from the brink of death several times.

Ninth Young Master was extreme for a while, but he hated him instead. If it wasn't for Ban'er, he wouldn't have come to Andu Mansion. He had been captured in Jinling long ago, and he might have already been executed.If you die, you will not know all this. When you are dying, you still have the blood of Dayue, and you will die cleanly.

Unlike now, even if he died, he would know that he was a monster and a foreigner.

Thinking of everything that happened before, Ban'er could only smile wryly, and cupped his hands to Mr. Zhou: "Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was there, and he woke him up with one sentence. The real fear is never due to external factors, it only comes from the depths of your heart. place."

In this world, in addition to the identity of blood, there is also the identity of culture.If you identify with the civilization and culture of Dai Viet, why worry about where your blood comes from?Your thoughts will not be affected by blood, and the words you write and the paintings you draw are not affected by blood.

Since he can't affect anything, there's no need to be afraid.Your fear does not come from your blood, but from yourself.

After Jiu Gongzi was woken up, he disappeared, and no one knew where he went.Every time he thinks of him, Ban Er sighs endlessly.

It was only later that Mr. Zhou found out that they had known each other early in the morning. Finding this reason, he squeezed the board for a few days.It's okay to use a few words of ridicule to stimulate him.

"You go and invite Prince Suqing to come over, and tell me that the old man wants to test his knowledge."

"Yes." Ban'er went to invite, not only did Prince Suqing come by himself, he also brought his two sons with him.

The tall one, five or six years old, obviously a child who wanted to pretend to be an adult, pulled his brother off his father's lap with a stern face, "Brother, you can't do this, especially outside."

The short one was about two or three years old, and he still wobbled when he walked, and he was already very good at talking, "Brother, hug me." A big head rubbed against his brother's arms, twisting and turning.

Ban'er suppressed a smile, "Otherwise, I'll hug the young master." The image of the eldest son hugging the child outside is gone, and the eldest son can't hold the little son.

It's not easy for the servants in front of the son to enter Mr. Zhou's study, so when Ban'er stretched out his hand, the young master hesitated for a moment, then flew over.

Ban'er gently hugged his waist and hugged him hard.It was the first time for him to hold a child, and when he smelled the faint scent of milk on the young master's body, his smiling eyes narrowed.

Seeing the two radish heads, Mr. Zhou put his stern face away, smiled and teased them a few words, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Mian Zhi, take the two sons to play next door." Mr. Zhou asked Ban'er to take the two young masters down, and he wanted to talk to the prince alone.

Mianzhi is the word that Mr. Zhou gave Baner, it is obvious that they get along well during this time.

"Sir." Shizi cupped his hands and smiled.

"Why, judging by your expression, do you know what's going on?" Mr. Zhou frowned, not surprised.The current appearance of Andu Mansion is considered by the world to be the work of King Suqing, but Mr. Zhou knows that his student is a martial artist who is good at fighting, but he is far inferior to his son in governing the world.
