[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

On the day of Wanshou, Yunling saw a lot of presents from the courtiers in front, most of them were ornaments made of gold and jade, calligraphy and paintings, of course, there were also local specialties given by local officials, but these local officials who gave special products, sent them Even if special products are not worth much, they must have some special meaning, such as extra-large rice that symbolizes "five grains and harvest".

Yun Ling didn't see the officials of the previous court giving gifts, but just by listening to it, she could tell that it was really lively ahead.As usual, there was a family banquet in the evening. Now that Situ Hui had ascended the throne, it seemed a bit shabby for the concubines in the harem to just give them the underwear they made.

What impressed Yunling the most was a pair of embroidery from Concubine Shu. Not only was the embroidery thread very thin, but there was even gold thread inside. Very happy.

Yunling silently suppressed the sigh that she was about to sigh. The gift she prepared also meant peace in the world.In other words, it was rare for her to put a lot of thought into the bonsai. She was afraid that after Situ Hui ascended the throne, it would not look good to use only plants and trees. A lot of gold and jade decorations were used, but unfortunately the meaning was more important than that of Concubine Shu.

But it’s okay if the gifts aren’t novel enough,? Today is a good day, Situ Hui won’t be unhappy because the concubines’ gifts aren’t special enough—in other words, if Situ Hui wants to be unhappy because of this kind of thing, Then today is not enough for him to be angry.After all, there are only so many gifts given to people when they celebrate their birthdays. As the emperor, Situ Hui can still give some things that are homophonic for "Jiangshan" and "Longevity". many.

The gifts of the high-ranking concubines could be displayed in front of everyone in the harem, but the low-ranking concubines didn't even have a chance to show them, and the things were sent directly to Situ Hui's warehouse.The presents for the wives and concubines are finished, and the princes and princesses are next.

The princes of Situ Hui haven't opened a mansion yet, and they usually live in the palace, so they don't have high requirements for the value of gifts. Even if they write a birthday speech or something, they can fill the number-of course, those who actually write birthday greetings make up the number They were also little princes, Situ Qiyu couldn't do this at his age, and what he gave was the Buddha statue of the Buddha of Infinite Life and the portrait of the birthday star, which was said to be the handwriting of famous masters from the previous dynasties.The eldest prince usually lives in the palace, so it might not be easy to collect this thing.

Yunling cast a glance at Yang Peishan, of course, it is more likely that Yang Peishan helped choose this gift.Although the queen can't interfere in the government affairs, it is still convenient to contact outside the palace, especially Situ Hui allows the concubine's natal family to visit relatives in the palace every month.

Situ Hui also knew that the sons' presents could not be without the help of their own mothers, but birthday presents were meant for a purpose, so they happily accepted them without saying anything.

Yunling didn't remember the gifts of the second and fourth princes, but it probably belonged to this category.When her son arrived, Yun Ling regained her spirits. Before the birthday banquet today, she saw Qi Duo's gift, which was also a well-regulated picture of longevity, but that child Qi Yue refused to let Yun Ling see the gift. It wasn't that the eunuch who followed him repeatedly assured that the gift Qi Yue gave was fine, Yun Ling couldn't make him so capricious no matter what.

Now two brothers who look very similar are standing together, and the eunuch behind them is holding a box. Yun Ling looked intently, and the box on Qi Yue's side was opened first, and the birthday gift inside turned out to be a gold-encrusted Jade - bell.

At that moment, Yunling was almost overwhelmed.

That's not counting, I don't know what mechanism the eunuch encountered when he took the clock out of the box. A boy holding a birthday peach popped out of the clock. Just looking at the color, it is very festive. Feeling it, Qi Yue smiled shyly at Situ Hui who was sitting on the throne, "This is made by my son himself, the craftsmanship is crude, father, don't dislike it."

The second Yunling's breathing stopped, Situ Hui laughed, "No wonder Master Sun, who taught you martial arts recently, said that you were sleepy in class during the day, and the co-author moved a big one from your mother and concubine, and then started to dismantle it. Just kidding, right?" His finger tapped Qi Yue a few times, "I like this gift very much, but you still need to make up for the homework you missed last month."

Yun Ling looked around to see the reactions of the palace attendants and concubines, and found that everyone really didn't think there was anything wrong with Situ Hui's Wanshou Shang Qi Yue sending the clock up.It was only later that Yunling learned that clocks and watches were brought in by Western merchant ships in recent years. At first, because there were many scales on the dial, which looked similar to sundials, they were named "Western dials".What's more, things are rare and expensive, and clocks are turning all the time, so in Daliang, they are considered things that can be transshipped.Last year, no matter whether it was the imperial court or Situ Hui himself, the luck was really not very good. Qi Yue took a lot of effort to give this gift, but it almost scared Yun Ling half his life.

Looking at the smiling brat standing under the steps, Yunling felt very tired.

Because of this episode, after the princesses "entertained their relatives in colorful clothes", Yun Ling didn't even bother to watch the dance that she personally rehearsed. After the dinner party, she asked Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu several times to give her a breath before giving gifts. Son, although there are no bad consequences this time, their mother's heart is really not that strong, and they can't bear to be scared.

There is only one Situ Hui's Longevity Festival between the Emperor's filial piety ceremony and the Empress Dowager's filial piety period. Now that the Longevity Festival has passed, the day when the palace will be completely filial piety is not far away.Even, because Situ Hui's Longevity Festival was too lively this year, Yunling hadn't felt the desolation of the Empress Dowager's filial piety, and it was time to give her filial piety.

Yunling feels that the empress dowager's filial piety is not as serious as that of Li Taifei, but it is understandable, after all, Li dowager is Situ Hui's biological mother, and although the empress dowager has a high seniority, when Situ Hui was young, the empress dowager The relationship with his son is not very close. It would be an exaggeration to say that he could not take care of himself in the days in the palace, but if he wanted to say how easy it was, it was not.It's not enough to worry about Concubine Zhen every day, and of course I don't have the heart to care about my grandchildren.So the relationship between Situ Hui and her was normal, and keeping filial piety was just in accordance with etiquette.

Yang Peishan was probably intimidated by the continuous filial piety of the royal family in recent years. Just after the empress dowager's filial piety period, she contacted the family she had favored for the eldest princess Situ Leyi.It was not easy for the appointed son-in-law. His grandmother knew a little bit about medical knowledge, and knew that it would not be good for a boy's health to arrange a maid to serve him too early, so the men in the family did not arrange maids to serve him until he was sixteen.When he just reached this age line, the family was about to choose a maid for him, and the royal family handed him an olive branch. Although the son-in-law of this dynasty is reserved by wealthy and idlers, it is really a good choice for the third son who has no ambition .At that time, the whole family was so happy. In order to let the royal family see their sincerity, the original maids were not picked. Everything will be discussed after the princess enters the door.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the idea of ​​the son-in-law's mother and grandmother, but who would have thought that the Supreme Emperor would die at this time?The engagement process is halfway through. If it is placed in an ordinary family to honor the grandfather, then their family can still say that their children are not easy to delay or something, but the princess of the royal family honors the emperor. Do you dare to say not to try?The death of the Supreme Emperor is the country's filial piety, what do you want to do if you don't want to keep it?

So not only did the princess not marry in, but in order to show that she was as qualified as the royal family, it was a great honor to serve the Supreme Emperor for 27 months. Now the nephews of the second brother's family are all in their teens, so they can't show any anxiety yet.

Fortunately, it wasn't just the pre-appointed son-in-law's family who were secretly worried, Yang Peishan was also worried!This year, I finally finished keeping all the filial piety that should be observed. Yang Peishan began to discuss her daughter's marriage, and decided that she must marry her off gracefully.

This is the only princess that the empress gave birth to, and the concubines in the harem still attach great importance to this matter. Before Yun Ling left the house, she could hear Yuliu from time to time saying who gave the eldest princess what jewelry as a gift. Add makeup.Because the rule of adding make-up is that the closer people are the last to give things, so before Yunling moved, she heard the movement of most of the harem.

"I used to hear people say that time is not forgiving, and I thought it was their hypocrisy." Yunling sat in Kunning Palace, and slowly touched her cheek with her hand. Perhaps it was because of her well-maintained relationship that her hand touched it. At that time, the sense of texture was not heavy, but, "When I first arrived in the mansion, Le Yi was only this tall," Yun Ling stretched out her hand in the air to compare. At that time, Situ Leyi was still in the first and second grades of elementary school. Thinking of it, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I'm going to get married now."

Yang Peishan smiled and pushed her, "You, you still say this in front of me." In terms of age, she is almost ten years older than Yunling.At this moment, Yang Peishan put her arms around her daughter and repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, even if you marry out, you are still a princess. Although you have to respect your mother-in-law and be harmonious with your sister-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, you must remember to go to the palace to find the queen mother." She would never allow the matter of the princess to appear on her daughter.

Situ Leyi pursed her lips and smiled, "My queen, I know." She was also reluctant to part with the home where she had lived for nearly 20 years, but what could she do?My daughter will always marry when she grows up.In order to prevent her mother from giving up, Situ Leyi pointed at the makeup that Yunling sent over, and said with a smile, "I knew that the imperial concubine's mother was so generous, I should have played with the imperial concubine's mother more when I was young."

Yang Peishan knew that Situ Leyi was deliberately taking the topic elsewhere, so that she would not be so reluctant, so she turned her head and smiled at Yunling, "It's terrible. As the saying goes, 'wealth is not revealed', it is really good."

Yunling tilted her head, said with a snort, "Then I'd be happy to give it too, you're just jealous that Le Yi likes me."

They were talking and laughing, knowing that it was to dilute the sadness of Situ Leyi's upcoming marriage.

No matter how reluctant she was, Situ Leyi's age was really not suitable for delaying any longer, so at the end of the year, Le Yi finally left the palace with her red makeup and started a new life.At the wedding, Yang Peishan cried so much that she was almost in makeup, and the maids and nuns around her comforted her again and again, and finally she calmed down a little, and she didn't lose her composure in front of the officials presiding over the wedding.
