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

In August, the summer heat in central Beijing gradually dissipated, and the fifth prince also received a memorial from the emperor far away in the south of the Yangtze River: Babe, you have this idea, Dad is very pleased,? Then ask your sixth and seventh brothers to help you live.Abba misses you very much too, you work hard,? Bring back a string of beeswax bracelets with the letter,? It's a reward from Abba to my hard-working son.

It was beeswax again, and Situ Hui's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of what Nanny Song said ten days ago, he became more and more uncomfortable.Situ Hui didn't think he was the one who doted on concubines and killed his wives. When Yang Peishan was still in the mansion, the children and side concubines in the mansion brought things from their mother's house. They all had to report to the main courtyard. Send it to the woman in the backyard.Now that Yang Peishan is not in the mansion, Concubine Cui acted like a baby when she accompanied him at night, saying that it is right to give her things to the concubine for a review, but now there are only a group of nuns in the main courtyard,? Check the things sent by her home Is it bad?At that time, he thought that the prince's side concubine was also the order of the fourth rank. It's not good for things to pass in the hands of servants. He didn't expect Cui's side concubine to be so courageous, and almost ruined his big event!

Regardless of whether the emperor sent someone to beat him with the beeswax bracelet or it was purely a coincidence, Situ Hui didn't dare to let side concubine Cui contact the manor again.If it wasn't for the fact that she still had a child in her womb, Situ Hui would have almost banned Concubine Cui from the Fanghua Courtyard!

Maybe it's because I felt guilty after knowing it lately? These days, side concubine Cui has also been obediently staying in Fanghuayuan and not going out of the house.It stands to reason that the emperor's papers have all been approved,? The sixth prince has also started to work with Situ Hui,? The number of postings by the concierge has decreased. Yang Peishan should come back by herself.But I don't know if it's because the scenery on Zhuangzi is too good, or what the servant who delivered the things said last time? Yang Peishan didn't return for a long time.Situ Hui had no choice but to find a rest day and went to the small village in the suburbs of Beijing in person, intending to bring Yang Peishan back.

When Situhui arrived, Yang Peishan was taking Yunling and her eldest sister to feed the fish by the lake.The Zhuangzi of the wealthy family raises koi in the lake, and no one will provoke them when they are free. When they see someone throwing fish food, they are very enthusiastic. From a distance, they look like red clouds falling on the lake while people are not paying attention. into the lake.

Before Situ Hui came over, the little maid had reported it. Seeing that Yang Peishan hadn't moved, Yunling knew what Situ Hui had been doing during this period of time.She waved to Yuyan at one side, signaling her to put the fish food on the table, Yunling herself winked at Yang Peishan, and took her eldest sister along with her.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them left, Situ Hui walked slowly along the winding corridor. Seeing that Yang Peishan was feeding the fish and there was no one around, he smiled and said, "The fish in your village are very close relatives." It’s not like in the mansion, where the fish are still dispirited after being sprinkled with fish food in the lake.”

The koi in the house are never hungry, and of course they are "not interested" in fish food.Yang Peishan smiled faintly, "The fish food is also good today. It was sent by the steward of the embroidery shop for my concubine's dowry. She said it was a secret recipe that her husband's family worked out for two generations of fish farming. Your Highness doesn't know, because I put Nanny Song stayed in the mansion, and without her checking the things sent here first, I thought that people’s livelihood outside is so difficult, and this is what the people eat every day, and I almost made a joke."

Situ Hui became more and more embarrassing, and Yang Peishan's meaning was very clear. Even when she was in the prince's mansion, the things sent to the mansion had to be seen by Nanny Song first. It doesn't make sense to bypass Nanny Song when doing things.

Yang Peishan accepted it as soon as she saw it, and seeing the embarrassment in Situ Hui's eyes, she handed him the fish food, "The scenery in this village is beautiful everywhere, and I want to stay and play for a few more days. Yao Huang came over to report that the grandson in Concubine Zhuang's palace had given birth to the Nine Princes. We have always been close to Concubine Zhuang in our mansion, it would be bad if we don't go to Xisan, we can only let Wei Zi pack his luggage."

Situ Hui took the fish food and didn't sprinkle it into the lake. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank our princess and concubine for your hard work."

Yang Peishan shot him a look, turned and left.Situ Hui followed Yang Peishan all the way to the main courtyard of the village, seeing the maids packing their luggage, he was secretly moved.Especially with the performance of Concubine Cui holding her back before, Situ Hui looked at Yang Peishan, who was full of virtuous wife style, and was satisfied with what she saw.

On the way back, of course Yunling couldn't be in the same car with Yang Peishan, because Yang Peishan and her eldest sister were picked up by Situ Hui to his own car, and the family of three went to have a family reunion.Yunling brought Yuyan to the luxury carriage, with pillows behind her and an ice basin in front of her, so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

The result was probably that the gods could not see her spending too much time leisurely. Not long after she returned to Guantong Courtyard, Yang Peishan asked the girl to come over and spread the word: the two of them will enter the palace together in three days.

Asking Yuyan and Yao Huang to inquire about the reason for entering the palace this time, Yunling remembered that Sun Cairen should have given birth at this time, but she did not expect that he was really a prince, and the three banquets were held in the side hall of Changchun Palace. This time it is a must.

Looking through the new clothes sent by the sewing room, Yunling found a palace skirt with beige background sprinkled with poppy flowers and lake blue trim, and a light pink background with floral satin skirt printed with peonies, and handed it to Yuyan said, "Only these two things."

Yuyan held her skirt and went down to burn incense, and Yunling found the jadeite imperial concubine bracelet awarded by Concubine Zhuang in the jewelry box and hung it on her wrist, pointing to the camellia flower and two magpie climbing branch hairpins given by Yang Peishan, and said to Qiushuang, "Later My son will wear this in the palace, you can set your hairstyle, but remember to wear it tighter."

When the day came, seeing Yunling's attire, Situ Hui was really satisfied, and before Yang Peishan entered the palace, he gave some instructions and went to work in the yamen.Yang Peishan's attire today is as grand as ever, compared to her, Yunling's body is nothing.

When they arrived at the Changchun Palace, Bai Sha came out to welcome her, and smiled at Yang Peishan, "Okay, the empress is busy inside, so I will deliver it to you." Then she brought Yang Peishan to the side hall of the Changchun Palace.Although the emperor was not in the palace, it can be seen from the letter sent back from Jiangnan a few days ago that he was very happy to have a new young son at his age.Sun Cairen hadn't finished confinement yet, and the one held in front of her was a beauty. It seemed that after the emperor came back, his ascension to the throne was just around the corner.

However, a beauty is actually not considered a high position in the palace. After all, Sun Cairen will continue to be attached to Concubine Zhuang in the future.Yang Peishan walked in with Baisha, Yunling lagged behind, pulled Zizhu who came out with Baisha, and handed over a plain handkerchief, "There are a lot of people here today, right? You are so tired."

"That's not it." Zizhu took Yunling's handkerchief and wiped the sweat that was oozing from his forehead, "Actually, the empress's side is fine, but Mother Jiang's side is really busy, even the crown princess sent congratulatory gifts gone."

Yunling immediately understood that Mammy Jiang was mainly responsible for receiving the mammies sent by the princes and concubines who were too courteous. "It's no wonder that when I came in, I found that there were people coming and going in the wing room next to the front hall. It was Mother Jiang receiving the mothers who gave gifts there, right? Isn't that where Sun Cairen lived?"

"You also said it was before," Zizhu smiled, "Now Sun Cairen's status has been promoted to beauty, and maybe her status will also be promoted at some time. When she is officially promoted to beauty, the empress plans to make the second In and out, when the time comes, the Ninth Prince will live in the East Wing, and her biological mother will live in the West Wing, so she can take care of her nearby."

Yunling nodded, and when she entered the room, she saw Concubine Zhuang greeting guests.To put it bluntly, it is the family affairs of the Situ family that the nine princes wash the three, so today, except for the concubines and concubines of the princes, they are all the emperor's Sangong and Liuyuan.Of course Concubine Li was also among the guests of congratulations. Compared with when she first learned that Sun Cairen was pregnant, Concubine Li now seemed more calm.Perhaps it was Concubine Zhuang's attitude that gave her a reassurance.

Concubine Zhuang smiled and was greeting Concubine Shu.Concubine Shu is nearly ten years younger than Concubine Zhuang, and she is the only high-ranking concubine who has never given birth.Hearing that Sun Cai gave birth to the Nine Princes, Concubine Shu's eyes were about to turn red.However, it was the emperor's intention that the ninth prince's third wash would be held in the Changchun Palace, and Concubine Shu had nothing to say.

Seeing that the auspicious time had come, the nanny brought the Ninth Prince over from behind, stripped off the child's clothes, and put him in a basin filled with water.Feeling the slight coolness of the water in the basin, the Ninth Prince, who had been whimpering, suddenly felt aggrieved, and burst into tears with a "wow".All the hostesses and ladies standing beside laughed and said, "This child must be very energetic when he cries so loudly."

"Yeah, it looks like a healthy one."

The Ninth Prince cried even more sadly when he saw that there was a circle of adults around him, none of them reached out to hug him away from this cold place.

The next step is to "refill the basin". Of course, it is impossible for all the empresses to personally fill the little prince's bathtub with gold and silver curries. The maids and nuns around them will do it for them.The gold and silver carnations are also different from the common ones. Some of them are shaped like longan and red dates. When the admission grandma reads the words, she reads according to the longan and red dates that the guests add. Otherwise, everyone adds gold carpenter. , The words read are all the same, what's the fun?

After "adding pots" to enshrine the statue, the Ninth Prince was carried back by the nanny.So far, the three baptisms of the Ninth Prince have been completed, and all the guests have returned to their homes.

Yunling was half a body behind Yang Peishan, and walked out of the palace together.The route that Yunling took this time was not the route that Yunling followed the maids when she was rewarded to the fifth prince. Probably the route that the maids took last time was the route that the court ladies often took—the main roads in the palace are reserved for the masters. Not following behind the master, court ladies and eunuchs are not allowed to walk on the main road, so they often have to take long detours.

After walking two more steps, Yunling suddenly realized that the palace in front of her looked familiar. When passing by the main entrance, Yunling looked up, and sure enough, she saw three large characters written on the plaque, "Chuxiu Palace".
