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

Yunling returned to her seat and heard Yang Peishan say, "After the fifteenth day, you will be busy with the things you should be busy with during the New Year's Eve. According to previous years, if any of your family members want to come to see you, you can send a post after the fifteenth day." , I can also arrange it."

Everyone in the hall suddenly showed gratitude.In all fairness, compared horizontally among the backyards of several married princes, the sons and concubines of the fifth prince's family are doing pretty well.Not to mention anything else, let the family members come over to see this every New Year's Eve, which is impossible for the children and concubines of other families, and it is almost the dignity that only the side concubine can have.

Yunling didn't expect to see the original owner's family so soon. With the original owner's memory, she had a good impression of the original owner's family, so she smiled gratefully at Yang Peishan.After chatting in the main courtyard for a quarter of an hour, after returning to the small courtyard, Yunling ordered Pan Youren to find someone to send a message to the original owner's younger brother, asking him to come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As for why there is only a younger brother, it is a long story.As I said before, it was a coincidence that this body participated in the election. How could it be a coincidence?It turned out that the original owner's ancestral home was in Jiangnan, and his father was a well-known child prodigy in the town since he was a child, and he was admitted to Juren when he was a weak crown.You know, the original Miao family was just a small landlord with a little spare money in the family. Several brothers of Miao's father had also read some books, but none of them learned anything.When Miao's father was admitted as a scholar, the family was relieved, because the son could support himself.When Miao's father was admitted to Juren, the old man in the family thought that the ancestral grave was full of smoke, and immediately ordered the running water mat to be set up for three days. Not to mention the wealthy households in the town, even the magistrate of the county sent someone to send congratulatory gifts. For a while.

With such a promising son, Mrs. Miao couldn't help being dazzled when looking at the candidates for her daughter-in-law.Looking at the Zhang family on the left and the Li family on the right, the daughter of either family is not good enough for her son.At this time, Lord Hou of Dingcheng Hou Mansion took his wives and concubines back to his hometown to worship the ancestors. After seeing the misty and rainy water town in the early morning, he couldn't help being very excited, so he went to the lake in a small boat.Unexpectedly, the weather was not good, and when the boat reached the center of the lake, a strong wind suddenly blew up. The selling point of the boat was the word "lightness", so naturally it couldn't resist, and was overturned by the strong wind and soaked in the lake.

Dingcheng Hou, a native of the capital, a real landlubber, how did he go through such a scene?Almost thought he was going to drown.In the end, Miao's father, who also came to swim in the lake, rescued him in another boat, and finally fished him out of the lake.

When the Marquis of Dingcheng saw this man wearing a Confucian scarf and long gown, and enthusiastically jumped into the lake to save people, his first impression was good.Ask carefully, hehe, he is still a young man, he speaks elegantly, and he has saved his life, so he revealed his identity and invited Father Miao to his house as a guest.

After coming and going, after getting acquainted with each other, Dingchenghou said that he still has two daughters waiting in his boudoir, and he is very optimistic about Father Miao.In this way, Father Miao, a boy from the countryside (after all, compared with the capital, the town can only be regarded as a countryside), managed to embrace a beautiful woman and married a young lady from Dingcheng Hou's mansion.

The young couple had been harmonious for a long time after marriage, Miao Yunling and younger brother Miao Yunfeng were born under such circumstances.However, wanting their children and grandchildren to "equal the rich and the poor" is probably the unavoidable mentality of most elderly people. The difference lies in whether they can restrain their thoughts.Obviously, after the Miao family became a big family in the town, Mrs. Miao couldn't restrain her thoughts.At that time, Mr. Miao had already gone west after seeing the birth of grandchildren in several sons' families. Mrs. Miao, under the banner of "filial piety", really caused some troubles for Miao's father and Miao's mother.

Fortunately, Mother Miao is the young lady of Dingcheng Hou's Mansion after all. Seeing that the relationship between her mother-in-law and Xiao's family became more and more tense, and that the husband couldn't even read Chunwei's books, Mother Miao decided to go to her natal family to seal her after discussing with Father Miao. Letter, found a small official far away from home for Miao's father, and took the post with a lot of money.

The problem has been temporarily resolved, and there is nothing wrong with it except that Mrs. Miao has more opinions on Miao's mother.Father Miao is also very competitive, he has been promoted all the way from the eighth-rank sesame official, but he has been the sixth-rank Fucheng Tongzhi for more than ten years.Occasionally, when I go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, all I see are welcoming smiling faces.

However, there is no such thing as the saying that the weather is unpredictable. First, a wind and cold killed Miao's father, and then Miao's mother, in grief, had to arrange funerals, arrange for the children to stay in filial piety, and fell ill.The old Mrs. Miao, who learned of her son's untimely death, came to Fucheng to scold Miao's mother after hearing the news--this woman instigated her son to be closer to his Yue's family than the Miao's family for so many years!What's more, she didn't take good care of her son, and let her white-haired one send a black-haired one.The old lady Miao used her ability to play tricks on people in the town back then, and made Miao's mother faint from anger several times.After the funeral, Miao's mother's body also declined rapidly, and she passed away less than two years later.

From the perspective of an outsider, Yun Ling, in fact, Miao's mother's death was not entirely the fault of Mrs. Miao.One is that Miao’s father and Miao’s mother have always had a good relationship after they got married, and Tongfang’s aunt did not have any. The sudden loss of her husband was a huge emotional blow to Miao’s mother; There were problems with the shop and the pavement, and Miao's mother was worried day and night, and in the end, the oil ran out and the lamp dried up.

But the original owner and younger brother didn't think so.After Miao's father passed away, Miao's mother had thought about going back to the countryside to buy some land, but just as soon as she had such an idea, she was met with scolding by Mrs. Miao.Now that Miao's mother has passed away, the original owner and younger brother will naturally not return to the countryside, but they have no one to rely on in Fucheng.At that time, the original owner was 12, his younger brother Miao Yunfeng was [-], and there were [-] males in Daliang Dynasty, and the [-]-year-old younger brother couldn't even establish a family.In desperation, the two of them decided to go to the capital together. When they arrived in the capital, they would use the banner of Dingchenghou's Mansion, which might deter some Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on the journey.However, perhaps the luck of meeting a nobleman can also be inherited. The bodyguard agency he hired when he went to Beijing brought several guests, and one of them was a young Juren who was also going to the capital.Thinking that this person was as young as Miao's father, the Miao siblings had a good impression of him.The siblings of the Miao family intend to make friends with each other, and they are not arrogant, so they get along fairly well.It wasn't until he arrived in the capital that he said that he was teaching at Qingyun Academy in the suburbs of Beijing. If Miao Yunfeng wanted to study at Qingyun Academy, he could take his recommendation letter to take the exam.

Qingyun Academy is one of the four major academies in Daliang, with a limited number of admissions each year, and getting a letter of recommendation is a blessing from heaven—although he will have to take the exam later, Miao Yunfeng is also a serious official and young master, and he is a scholar Maybe it's not too hot, and the entrance exam for an academy is not that difficult.After making up his mind, Miao Yunfeng thanked the recruiter, and planned to send his sister to Dingcheng Hou's Mansion, and then go to Qingyun Academy to study. The surname is Miao, not Xie, and the Miao family's door still has to be supported by itself.

Knowing her younger brother's plan, Miao Yunling was naturally relieved, there was no reason why she shouldn't.After entering the capital, the original owner and his younger brother Miao Yunfeng inquired carefully, only to find out that the old Dingchenghou and Miao's mother's biological mother and aunt had passed away long ago, and now the eldest son of the grandfather is inheriting the title.The two ran all the way, and the servants behind them were only two or three kittens. When they asked about the door of Dingchenghou's mansion, they were pushed back.

If the two of them wanted to live together in the Dingchenghoufu, Miao Yunfeng would have to swallow his anger and continue to find someone who is the master of the Dingchenghoufu.But I am not at home all year round, what should I do if my sister is wronged by herself?All the members of Dingchenghou's Mansion had such an attitude, and Miao Yunfeng was worried about entrusting his sister to his family.

I thought it would be good to find a single-family courtyard near Qingyun Academy for the two siblings to live together, but I didn’t expect to find out that Qingyun Academy is a dormitory system after inquiring about Qingyun Academy. The students there have a vacation once a month. Board and lodging are all in the school building.

As a result, Miao Yunfeng hesitated again, thinking that it would be better to just find an academy near the capital, and then the two siblings would live together in the Dingcheng Hou's Mansion. Go to a serious and good academy to study after you become an adult.

Although Miao Yunling is a woman, her knowledge is not short.She knew very well that Qingyun Academy's recommendation letter had a time limit. In a few years, Miao Yunfeng wanted to study in a good academy, but would a good academy still want him?What's more, staying in a bad academy for a few years is not only a waste of time. Miao Yunfeng is still young, what if he develops some bad habits?

The siblings had a big fight, and neither could convince the other.It wasn't until Miao Yunling inadvertently discovered that the number of unmarried girls staying in inns in Beijing had recently increased, and after inquiring about it, she found out that the biennial election in the palace had begun.Emperor Wen, the founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty, attached great importance to the virtues of women in the harem. Every year, unmarried girls with both "talent, filial piety and virtue" were selected as female history, and as internal ministers, they assisted the queen in governing the harem.In recent years, the quality of women's history has declined significantly, and the applicants are all the daughters of some seventh- and eighth-rank sesame officials.Hearing this, Miao Yunling didn't discuss it with her younger brother, and directly reported her name to the father-in-law who came out to record the name, and then went back to the inn to find the recommendation letter from Qingyun Academy that the younger brother wanted to tear up before, and told the younger brother the ins and outs.

The deal is done, even if Miao Yunfeng jumps his feet in anger, he can't change the fact, so he can only go to Qingyun Academy to take the exam before Miao Yunling enters the palace.Seeing that her younger brother passed the entrance examination of Qingyun Academy, which was said to be not easy, Miao Yunling only took a burden and went into the palace alone.It's just that I didn't expect that when I fell ill in the cold spring in March, I would be the current Yunling when I opened my eyes again.

Yunling thought about it, and recalled the original life experience of this body. Over there, Pan Youren was already saluting, "Your maidservant, go and tell the people in the outer court to guarantee that the message will be fine when it arrives at Qingyun Academy."

Yun Ling nodded, and when she turned around, she saw Xia Chan walking in with Dong Xue from the outside, "According to our family's custom, we have a banquet in the main courtyard during the festival, and the boy just got a reward from the empress today, what do you want to do?" clothes?"
