The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions

The careers of the emperor and the empress have progressed very gratifyingly. During these years, the strength of the Dagan Kingdom can be said to be thriving, and the development is also changing with each passing day.

With the concerted efforts of Situ Yao and Xie, even the railways have been laid between several important cities in the Dagan Kingdom, not to mention other mechanical equipment, which is completely different from the past.

In addition, high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have also been promoted to various places. The grain harvested by the people is increasing every year, but the taxes that need to be paid are much lower.This is due to various factories and shipping trade. The commercial tax is always much higher than the agricultural tax, not to mention the profiteering industry such as shipping, which provides a large amount of silver for the Dagan country. Therefore, Situ Yu lowered the agricultural tax. many.

There are also Mengxue Schools and Baigong Schools in various places, which have also played an important role, sending many workers to various factories.The entire Dagan Kingdom is filled with a long-lost vitality, rejuvenated with vigor, and many veteran officials in the court, whenever they mention the current emperor and empress, they look proud.

Nowadays, even the most immature children in the most remote frontiers know that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress are the reincarnation of gods who came down to save the poor people like them.

However, Situ Yao and Xie have new troubles now, and they are still troubles that cannot be solved.

It has been more than five years since the old emperor passed away. For the first three years, Situ Yao excused himself from the harem draft, so Xie naturally felt relieved.In the next two years, it was an important time to open up overseas territories. Situ Yao spent almost all his time eating and lodging with the ministers. He didn't have time to shave his tired beard, let alone enter the harem.

As for the officials, Situ Yao has been tossing them hard in the past few years. In addition, there are two princes and a princess in the harem, both of whom are children left by the abolished prince.Mrs. Xie took good care of them, and the Taifu also said that the princes are talented and intelligent, so everyone didn't think about urging marriage and giving birth.

But now that everything is on the right track, the ministers who were finally free began to worry about Situ Yao's harem, and wrote endless letters asking His Majesty to expand the harem to draft female candidates.

Situ Yao is very annoying. After so many years of missions, he has already left this low-level interest. Now he has no other ideas except to accumulate more merit points and become a ghost fairy as soon as possible.

It's a pity that those old ministers don't think so. Some of them have reached the age of begging for bones, and they go to court tremblingly every day just to give birth.

Situ Yao's head grew big after being urged, but Mrs. Xie enjoyed watching dramas in the harem every day. Anyway, the original owner had a miscarriage and injured her body. The imperial doctor diagnosed that it was extremely difficult to conceive.In her opinion, this matter is absolutely impossible to push her head. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable. Although the troubled people will be late, they will never be absent.

After breakfast that day, Mrs. Xie was practicing calligraphy in the side hall.Qingyun walked in quietly, watched her finish writing a pair of big characters, and then went forward to report: "Master, the greeting book delivered by Mrs. Rong Guogong yesterday is already waiting outside the palace, and she has brought her grandson Daughter Jiashi Yuanchun, with a four or five-year-old girl."

"Then please come in." Xie put down his pen and ink, and the maid who was waiting beside him hurriedly stepped forward, cleaned her hands, and surrounded her into the hall.

After Mrs. Xie settled down in the high position, Qingyun led Jia Shishi, Jia Yuanchun and a little girl in together.

The three members of Jia's family entered the hall with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, they were about to kneel down to salute in a hurry, but they were stopped by Xie when they knelt halfway: "Qingyun quickly help the old lady up, the old lady is old, There is no need to be so polite."

When Jia Shishi heard the words, he didn't insist on kneeling down, but just performed a blessed ceremony.On the contrary, Jia Yuanchun and the little girl knelt down and kowtowed firmly, then got up and stood behind Jia Shishi.

"This is Rong Guogong's eldest granddaughter? I have never seen her grow so big. She is a lovely person." When Xie received the brochure yesterday, she had a vague premonition.Now seeing Jia Yuanchun, who is dressed as fresh and elegant as the dew on the branches, and the timid little girl next to him, the purpose of Jia Shishi's trip is more clear from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Xie's smile on his face, Jia Shishi looked very fond of Jia Yuanchun, he felt confident in his heart, and said with a smile: "I can't deserve the praise of my wife, she is a little girl, and my wife is here. I also brought her in to kowtow to the empress and see the world."

"Bengong looks like a beautiful woman. Mrs. Guo has always been good at raising girls. I still remember Miss Min who came out of your house before. It doesn't matter if she looks outstanding. What's rare is that her literary talent is not inferior to that of men. Yes." Mrs. Xie was really impressed with Jia Min, after all, she contributed money and efforts for the good hall, and she didn't hesitate to praise her, "Now that Miss Min is married, did she go to the south of the Yangtze River with Master Lin? I remember The news came last month that she took over the embroidery workshop in Jiangnan, and she did a great job."

When Jia Shishi heard Xie's praise of Jia Min, he immediately became happy and couldn't hide his joy: "My wife, that girl is also following the teachings of my mother. When I was at home, I wanted to learn from my mother. Now It would be her good fortune if she could share some of it for the empress."

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Xie seemed to have just recovered, and pretended to berate Qingyun: "Why don't you show the seat to Mrs. Rong Guo? And Miss Jia, what's her name?" Minger, how old are you now?"

Jia Yuanchun took a step forward and said respectfully, "My daughter, Jia Shi Yuanchun, is eight years old."

"Eloquence is also clear and generous, which shows that the old lady is well-bred." Xie smiled and praised a few words, then let her sit down, and then ordered Qingyun to give Jia Yuanchun a meeting gift, and saluted again to thank Jia Yuanchun do not mention.

Mrs. Xie recognized at a glance that it was the young Qin Keqing, but based on her experience, she probably didn't know, so she asked with some doubts: "The one next to me is, could it be the new granddaughter of Mrs. Jia? The palace doesn't recognize it."

Just as Jia Shishi was about to answer, someone from the palace came to report that it was the eldest princess who came to say hello to the empress.The current Eldest Princess is named Situ Ya, and she is only seven years old this year, born in the East Palace.Her biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, was originally a maid in the East Palace, but she was favored by the drunken deposed prince by chance, and she became pregnant.

It's just that Zhao's appearance is not ordinary, so she doesn't like Prince Abandoned. For the sake of the child in his belly, Prince Abandoned only gave her the status of Chenghui.When it was time to give birth, she died of dystocia due to many thoughts during pregnancy, leaving only one daughter and then let go.After Situ Yao came to the throne, he granted her a concubine posthumously.

In the past, the relationship between the original owner and the deposed prince was mediocre. Although Situ Ya was taken care of by the original owner, in fact it was the wet nurses who took care of him more.Later, Mrs. Xie came. Firstly, she felt sorry for Situ Ya who was young and had a long way to go; secondly, the original owner had no children, so she wanted to silence the ministers, so Situ Ya raised her in front of Mrs. Xie, pretending to be a child. Half a prostitute.

Now that Jia Shishi brought Jia Yuanchun into the palace, according to Xie's thinking, he might want to find a princess companion for Jia Yuanchun.It's just that Qin Keqing, Mrs. Xie thought about it for a while, I'm afraid it wasn't because she was a virtuous and virtuous person who set up too well, otherwise, why would an old fox like Jia Shishi think of bringing her into the palace.

But Mrs. Xie was only thinking for a moment, and Situ Ya came in with the palace servants who were personally serving her: "Ya'er, send your respects to the empress, how is the empress' breakfast today?"

Mrs. Xie beckoned, motioned Situ Ya to sit beside her, touched her hand and said with a smile, "Of course everything is fine for the queen mother, but you, Taifu Ke came to complain yesterday, saying that your big characters are missing. If you didn’t write one article, you will be fined to write it three times today, but it’s finished?”

Seeing someone in the hall, Situ Ya said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "The queen mother also save Ya'er some face, I will write it later, and I will not dare to do it again in the future."

Mrs. Xie skipped the topic like a gentleman, pointed to Jia Yuanchun and said: "This is the eldest girl of the Duke Rong's family, one year older than you, and she specially came to play with the Duke's wife today. You are the master, Take Miss Jia to stroll outside in the small garden, we can talk freely."

Situ Ya had seen a lot in the palace, so she naturally knew that it was the Xie family who wanted to send them out, and she had some private conversations with the Rongguo Mansion, so she got up and said to Jia Yuanchun and Qin Keqing: "It just so happens that the magnolia flowers in the small garden are blooming. Let's enjoy the flowers."

Naturally, Jia Yuanchun and Qin Keqing would not refuse, and went out with Situ Ya.

After the three children had gone out, Mrs. Xie said in a deep voice: "The child Mrs. Guo brought in today, Bengong looks very kind, but I can't think of anyone who looks similar. Suddenly remembered, that little girl and Ya'er do have a three-point resemblance."

When Jia Shishi heard the words, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, sticky and uncomfortable, but he pulled himself together, knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, my wife can't think about it. This little girl The girl's name is Qin Keqing, and she was originally an orphan adopted by Yingshulang Qinye, Mr. Qin's family. She had nothing to do with Jia's family, but a few days ago, an old woman hugged her and came to knock on our door, forcing the minister's wife dilemma."

"Oh, an old nanny, an orphan girl, can actually embarrass the old lady?" Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I think there is something wrong with this girl's background, let me guess, maybe it's your majesty Beads left behind among the people?"

Jia Shishi grabbed the land with his head, and in the warm and cold weather in early spring, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.It's just that she was seeking wealth and wealth, and she didn't intend to shrink back, she still explained Qin Keqing's origin clearly.

Xie knew these things earlier and more comprehensively than she did, so of course she would not be deceived by her.However, most of what Jia Shishi said was true. Qin Keqing had indeed lost her mother, and only had two loyal servants to serve her.
