[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Chapter 47 Being a king and an official, benefiting the country and the people

The Jinyi Dark Guard was very fast, and within two days, the person who colluded with the former officials and stole the test questions was found out.This person is the little tea-serving eunuch of Yugan Palace. When serving tea, he happened to catch a glimpse of the exam questions that Shui Lan had placed on the desk. Suddenly, he became greedy, so he memorized the exam questions carefully, and sold them to Mrs. Zhen Guo. Duke Zhen, and then Duke Zhen blatantly sold test questions at the price of a thousand taels of silver.

The little eunuch who served tea was killed by a cup of poisoned wine. As for the officials of the Ministry of Rites who helped buy the exam questions and were caught by ghostwriters, they went to the underworld hand in hand with the "juren" who bought the exam questions and bribed them.

While pushing this group of scoundrels out of the Meridian Gate and beheading them, Shui Lan maintained the good habit of ransacking their homes.Not to mention enriching the national treasury, but at least it has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient silver in the household department.As for Shui Lian's Uncle Niu's family, for the sake of her mother who gave her precious life to give birth to her, Shui Li did not want the lives of the whole family of Uncle Niu's family.

Shui Lan snatched Uncle Niu's five-rank false position and the title of Duke of the country, and after confiscating the family property, he returned one-third of the property and asked a team of Jinyi Mingwei to send Uncle Niu and his family back to their ancestral home in Fengyang County, Anhui. House.

After Uncle Niu's family left the capital, Niu Qian, the Qing concubine in the palace, suddenly became sad. It made Niu Qian suffer a lot.Because she lost her position in Shui Lan's heart, Niu Qian didn't dare to go to Shui Lan to complain even though she had suffered some hardships, so she had to tell herself to calm down and start eating fast and praying to Buddha.

Niu Qian acted like this, and after learning the news, Shui Lan shook her head and smiled, then told Wu Tingfang to take good care of her, and then began to focus on government affairs.Because of that horrible nightmare, Shui Lan didn't like to enter the harem very much, even if she did, she mostly stayed in Kunning Palace.After a long time, the concubines in the harem began to complain, and were so soured by various languages, Wu Tingfang could only go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to visit Shui Lan, who was determined to focus on government affairs for 100 years, with a big tonic soup. asked him if he had any hidden illness.

Watery...

Can he say that he has a little fear of women because of the shriveled grandson of the fourth child?Can he say that he is always afraid that when he is sleeping with a girl, the girl will suddenly grow long, thick chest hair.Heh, because she can't, so Shui Lan can only reduce the number of times she goes to the harem, and only start pampering the harem after the shadow in her heart is gone.

Her mouth twitched slightly, and Shui Lan stared at Wu Tingfang seriously for a while before speaking slowly. "I want to learn from the spirit of the predecessors, to have fewer children and grow more trees, to take care of the next generation."

Wu Tingfang......

Although she didn't know why Shui Lan went crazy, but the basic requirement of a generation of empresses is to dare to persuade, so Wu Tingfang said after several struggles. "Uh, Your Majesty, the child was not born by you but by the concubine, so planting trees will not affect it at all."

As soon as Wu Tingfang said this, he was immediately stunned.After a while, Shui Lan patted her head and found another excuse. "I've been too busy with political affairs recently, so I really don't have the time or mood to pamper my concubine."

She was just verbally admonishing Shui Lan, but seeing that Shui Lan insisted, Wu Tingfang couldn't say anything more, but changed the subject and asked with a nervous face. "Is there no news from the brothers yet?"

"It's only thirty or fifty days, how can it be so fast! But don't worry so much, it's a good thing that there is no news. Well, it is also possible that the two generals forgot to pass on the news."

"What the emperor said is also reasonable, but it is always inevitable to worry. Fortunately, I am doing business for the emperor, otherwise it would be better to be so tired and lazy."

"Ting Fang was joking."

Shui Lan pulled Wu Tingfang to sit down in front of the desk, took out a plum blossom hairpin carved from red sandalwood with her right hand from the drawer of the desk, and under Wu Tingfang's surprised eyes, Shui Lan inserted the plum blossom hairpin in the Between buns.

"It's pretty nice."

Shui Lan with a gentle smile took out a delicate and small bronze mirror from the drawer. Wu Tingfang looked at the mirror, and then asked thoughtfully. "This plum blossom hairpin is..."

"I sculpted it when I was bored in my free time, and it's just perfect for Tingfang."

Hearing that Wu Tingfang's cheeks were stained with a blush, she knew she shouldn't be moved, but unfortunately her heart forgot to beat inadvertently. "The emperor's craftsmanship is really good."

Wu Tingfang lowered her eyes to hide the complicated expression in her eyes, then raised her head, and said with a shallow smile. "Your Majesty, my concubine likes it very much."

"nice! You love it."

Shui Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want Wu Tingfang to misunderstand, but fortunately Wu Tingfang did not misunderstand.Presumably, a smart woman like her also knows that she can't love the emperor, once she loves, she will act paranoid, and once she loves, she will be lost forever.

They are relatives!

Shui Lan shook her head and laughed, when he, a standard playboy, became sentimental.He is destined to be a man who is a generation of Mingjun and expands the territory. He can't go through time and be inferior to the shriveled grandson of the fourth child.Even if you are a professional emperor, labor and management will beat you n times once.

Shui Lan, whose thoughts began to flow again, chatted with Wu Tingfang for a while with her signature smile on her face, and when the sky was getting dark, she followed Wu Tingfang back to Kunning Palace, where she had dinner and played with twins!

Now the twins are seven or eight months old, and their bones are very strong.The two siblings, the elder sister is a fat dumpling, and the elder brother is also a fat dumpling. The bumps on the faces of the two children are poked into holes. Every time they come to Kunning Palace, Shui Lan always pokes them with great joy. If you poke two fat dumplings and cry, you won't stop.It is the same today.

Fat Tuanzi, whose face was flushed red from being poked by his unscrupulous father, pursed his mouth and burst into tears.Wu Tingfang glanced at Shui Lan who was guilty of hiding her hands behind her back, and laughed and cursed. "There's no such thing as a father like you, look at how blushing the little cheeks of the siblings are."

Shui Lan smiled awkwardly, and then cheekily gnawed on her daughter's face, Princess Ying, who was finally coaxed from crying, burst into tears again.This time, Wu Tingfang lashed out several times at Shui Lan. Knowing that she had offended her daughter, Shui Lan quickly hugged Princess Ying and coaxed her. It took almost half an hour for Princess Ying to stop crying. Voice.

Handing Shui Ying, who was sniffling and falling asleep, to the nanny, Shui Lan practiced calligraphy for a while accompanied by Wu Tingfang, and then had a midnight snack before washing up and going to bed.Compared to staying with concubines, Shui Lan prefers to stay in Kunning Palace, at least Wu Tingfang won't be like other women in the palace, not taking eye drops all the time.Even Jia Qiangwei, who was the most law-abiding in the harem, had put eye drops on other concubines in front of Shui Lan, except for Wu Tingfang.

A night without dreams.Shui Lan still got up early, put on her dragon robe and imperial crown, and went to the morning court.Because the moth in the Ministry of Rites had just been dealt with, the frightened courtiers were all silent and would not speak unless necessary.After a few days of calm like this, Wuge sent someone to report quickly, saying that the situation of all the students who failed the list had been found out, and most of them were people with certain knowledge. They were certified by Zhou Yushi and were now on the list. Famous, and Gusu Lin Ruhai is among them.

One month later, after all the recruits who made up the quota rushed to the capital, the first Spring Festival after Shui Lan ascended the throne continued.Nine days later, after the end of the three general examinations, the name of Lin Ruhai, a Jinshi candidate, was impressively recorded.

Among the ten test papers given to Shui Lan to read, Lin Ruhai's knowledge was considered top-notch.And there are two people who are comparable to him, a middle-aged man named Ren Peiru, and Ying Xihe, who is a few years older than Lin Ruhai but not as good-looking as him.Because Tanhualang is the only one among the top three who requires both talent and appearance, Shui Lan almost without thinking will choose Lin Ruhai as Tanhualang, and appoint Peiru as the champion and Ying Xihe as the second.

After the three of them kowtowed to thank, Shui Lan smiled like a wolf grandmother and asked Lin Ruhai. "Did Tan Hualang ever get married!"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then answered. "No."

"Young talents can be matched with beautiful women, why not let me marry Tanhua Lang."

Lin Ruhai's official spouse is naturally Jia Min.Shui Lan, who agreed to Fairy Jing Huan but not to interfere too much with Shenying's waiter's calamity, didn't have the heart to ask Fairy Jiangzhu to change her mother.After all, today’s Jia Min was brought up by Shui Juan, the first female heroine of the Yong Dynasty. Her ability, bearing, and behavior are very different from the charming lady in the original book of the Red Chamber. Such a Jia Min will still be like the original book It would be strange for an ordinary daughter to pass away after the death of her son and leave behind a sick child.

Therefore, Shui Lan didn't care about the wishes of the person (Jia Min), and pointed out Jia Min's little loli, who had just turned 12, to Lin Ruhai, who was now seventeen and fresh and handsome.Jia Min, who never left her body with a sword, didn't care about this. Anyway, after so many years of Shui Juan's influence, Jia Min came to a conclusion that no matter who she married, Jia Min would be fair.Of course, speaking from a family of generals is a bit laborious, but for frail scholars like Lin Ruhai, Jia Min said that my mother can knock you down with one finger.

Lin Ruhai, who didn't know how tough the future lady would be, accepted the emperor's marriage with a calm heart. Whoever he marries is not a marriage. In the words of his classmates, the lady who can marry the Duke's mansion is the result of burning incense in her previous life, so she is ugly. Such as a mother~pig is also willing to marry, not to mention that the princess Jia has a good appearance and a pair of phoenix eyes. Although she is young, it can be seen that she will definitely be a beautiful and beautiful lady in the future.

Because of Jia Min's young age, Jia Min did not marry into the Lin family immediately, but set the wedding date in three years.Now Princess Shuijuan is in charge of everything in the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Shishi has no way of interfering with it. Originally, Jia Min’s marriage cannot surpass her. Jia Shishi wanted to control Jia Min’s marriage and show off her super class With the identity of the old lady, who would have thought that Shui Lan's unconventional move would completely shatter her expectations.

Jia Shishi was almost furious about this, but fortunately her second son Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, gave birth to her a big fat grandson in February this year. (Shui Juan) was pregnant immediately, but this did not hinder Jia Shishi's joyful heart.In order to make a face for Jia Zheng, Jia Shishi, who was overjoyed, proposed that Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second house, should be educated by her.Jia Zheng had no objection to this, but Mrs. Wang, who couldn't bear the separation of mother and child, exploded in anger...
