[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Chapter 48 Being a king and an official, benefiting the country and the people

What can Madam Wang say? She has a brain, but she often does ridiculous things, and she has no brains, but she makes unexpected and reliable choices every time something happens.For example, this time, it is said that Jia Zheng agreed to hand over Jia Zhu to Jia Shishi's upbringing. According to Mrs. Wang's muna character, it was impossible to stop it, but in fact it was Jia Zhu who was the seventh son of the Ouxiangxie. The next day, he was sent back by Jia Shishi with great fanfare.

The reason is nothing more than the child crying endlessly at night and clamoring for his mother.Generally speaking, it’s like this when a child changes to an unfamiliar environment, and it’s okay to be noisy for a few days, so Jia Shishi didn’t care about it at the beginning, but Jia Zhu, who never wanted to cry, was not careful at night because of the carelessness of his mother-in-law. He got a cold and actually had a high fever.

Now Mrs. Wang quit, she felt aggrieved and said to Jia Zheng that Brother Zhu was doing well by her side, why did he get sick when he left his mother's side.Of course Mrs. Wang didn't blatantly accuse Jia Shishi of robbing her child but not caring enough to raise her child, and leaving the child to the maidservant to take care of it perfunctorily, but she revealed this meaning implicitly and implicitly.

At this moment, Jia Shishi, who thought that Jia Zhu was brought up to help Jia Zheng, was heartbroken. Jia Shishi was saddened by Jia Zheng's hesitant attitude and secretly hated Mrs. Wang's white-eyed wolf behavior, so he was accompanied by the housewife by his side. As soon as Zilai provoked everyone, Jia Shishi, who suddenly felt disheartened, sent Jia Zhu back to Mrs. Wang's side with great fanfare.

This incident, which can be called a farce, has nothing to do with Mrs. Wang on the surface, but people with discerning eyes see it and their hearts are open.This Jia Zhu didn't get sick in the morning and didn't get sick in the evening, but she just fell ill when she was taken to be raised by Jia's mother. It's strange that Mrs. Wang didn't do something about it.When Shui Juan, who had made all the preparations for Jia Min's engagement, went to the palace to chat with Wu Tingfang, she couldn't help expressing her admiration for it.

"You said that this woman should have a big heart, so she wouldn't be afraid of taking the wrong dose of medicine, and let Brother Zhu go just like that."

"Perhaps she is sure."

After Wu Tingfang pursed her lips and smiled, she changed the subject. "How's your health recently? The day before yesterday, the mother and the mother only talked about you."

"He is in good health and has a good appetite, but he just likes spicy food." A thoughtful expression appeared on Shuijuan's face. "Empress's sister-in-law, the common people say that they are sour and hot, you think I am pregnant with a sister!"

"Isn't it good, my sister? It blooms first and then bears fruit!"

"I'm afraid that if it only blooms and doesn't bear fruit like my sister-in-law..." After saying this, Shuijuan changed the subject and asked Wu Tingfang in a low voice. "Queen's sister-in-law, Ma Yao hasn't had any trouble recently, right? When I went to visit my mother yesterday, she told me that my eldest brother also stayed with the three side concubines recently, so I figured it out after thinking about it."

"Stay in the palace to recuperate, what can happen." It's just that some things haven't been figured out yet.Wu Tingfang smiled, did not say this, and continued to chat with Shuijuan.After a while, the palace servant who was sent to the imperial hospital came back with an imperial doctor who was proficient in obstetrics and gynecology.The imperial physician first greeted Wu Tingfang and Shui Juan, and after the two excused themselves, he asked Shui Juan for her pulse.

"The pulse is strong and powerful, and the brother in the princess' belly is very healthy."

"Princess Li, you are saying that I am pregnant with my elder brother."

Doctor Li smiled and didn't answer. He just said casually that the princess took it seriously. If she was born as a sister, the princess wouldn't beat herself up in anger. The more she thought about it, the more scared Doctor Li hesitated and said nothing.Shui Juan didn't care about his perfunctory attitude, but let him kneel down and continue talking to Wu Tingfang.

"Now that I'm sure it's brother, I'm a little scared. You said that if my mother-in-law, who is dying all day, wants to get rid of my child, what will I do?" Will Bengong beat her up once, or twice? pause.

Well, what the girl Shuijuan was worried about wasn't the issue of Jia Shishi taking the child to raise, but the issue of Jia Shishi daring to do this, beating more and less.After the corner of Wu Tingfang's mouth twitched slightly, he thought of a question.Shui Ying has always liked her as an aunt, what if she has been in contact with her too much since she was a child, and when she grows up, she will be as tough as Princess Shui Juan.Thinking about it, Shui Lan would worry about his daughter being too tough to marry.

Now that Shui Ying is only a few months old, Wu Tingfang has started to worry about her marriage when she grows up, but she doesn't know that when Shui Ying was born, Shui Lanhuang sang took the whole capital and all the future heroes under the age of ten. After a lot of digging, I finally said generously and compassionately that the future heroes of the capital should be matched with the three princesses of Prince Bao (Shui Zhai). It is better for his daughter to find consorts across the country... Regarding this, Shui Zhai, who was clenching his fists, said that his hands were so itchy that he really wanted to beat his brother up!

Of course, Shui Langui is now the emperor, and if Shui Zhai beat him up, he would be guilty of the following crimes. Therefore, after thinking about it, Shui Zhai, who didn't blame him, in a sunny and cloudless weather, met with several The two princes and county kings had dinner together, and by the way, we mourned the old fourth child who had gone to heaven together, and suggested with a smile, that while the weather is beautiful, why don't we elders go out for an outing together!

The third son, Shuishun, has been a nerd since he was a child, and he is no exception now.When he heard Shui Zhai's suggestion to go for an outing, his eyes lit up and he agreed. "I remember Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a poem: In the north of Gushan Temple and in the west of Jiating, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low. Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and someone's spring swallows are pecking at the new mud. The scattered flowers are gradually becoming charming, and Asakusa can be gone. Horseshoe. My favorite lake is not enough to go east, and there are white sands in the shade of green poplars. The joy of visiting the lake in early spring and the love of the scenery of West Lake in this poem make my heart beat. Why don't we take a boat all the way down the river and go to Qiantang River to have a look Bar."

Immediately, the other princes and county kings present were speechless.Among them, the relationship between the sixth child and the third child is the best, so he complained mercilessly. "Third brother, are you sick? The eldest brother said that he was going out for an outing, but you ended up talking about leaving Beijing to play. Is there an inevitable relationship between the two?"

The third child rolled a blank look at the sixth child, and said with contempt in his eyes. "You won't understand the poet's romantic feelings."

"Tsk, even if I don't study much, third brother, you shouldn't be fooling me like this." The sixth child spat at the third child, and then said. "I remember that Fatty Su (Dongpo) would bring famous actresses and singers with him to show his elegance every time he went out to play. Why don't we..."

As he said that, the sixth child stared at Shui Lan with an extra lewd smile.

"Second Brother Emperor, I remember that Tianlai Garden and Luodie Garden have newly recruited a lot of singers and dancers. Why don't Brother Emperor be merciful and choose some outstanding ones to bring along, singing and dancing to add to the fun, we will be very happy Have fun."

The Tianlai Garden is the residence of the singers kept in the palace, and the Luodie Garden is the residence of the dancers. Generally, the singers and dancers who hold banquets in the palace come here.Compared with the overlord who loves beauty and singing and dancing, Shui Lan, who was used to watching all kinds of wonderful singing and dancing in her previous life, the singing and dancing of the Yong Dynasty is really boring, but because the concubines in the harem like it, so this Tianlai Garden and Luodie Garden are still the same as before, buying newcomers every three years.

Now when Lao Liu mentioned it, Shui Lan suddenly remembered that Tianlai Garden and Luodie Garden had a new group of newcomers, and she couldn't help giving Lao Liu a blank look, and said angrily. "You really remember clearly, why are you thinking about the people in the elder brother's palace? I remember that you brought a few concubines into the house a few days ago. It's so fresh."

"It's still the emperor's brother who knows about me..."

In front of all the princes and county kings, Lao Liu still said shamelessly. "You know, my younger brother, I want to learn from my father and strive to be a 'specialized' person like him. Only a dozen concubines are not enough. This king will definitely have more than 100 concubines just like my father."

"Death, in front of whom do you call yourself the king?"

Shui Zhai kicked the sixth son who had snatched away his ambition, and began to pose as an older brother under his sad eyes. "There's so much nonsense, it's a waste of time and life, I immediately packed up and went out to the palace for an outing."

As soon as Shui Zhai said this, all the princes and county kings looked at Shui Lan.Shui Lan shook her head and laughed, speechless. "Didn't you hear what our Prince Bao said? Well, brothers, let's tidy up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then go out to the palace together for an outing."

The relieved princes and county kings laughed, and then each of them went to the palace to get a set of casual clothes, and went to the side hall to change.The sixth child, who is known as the second treasure of life, winked at Shui Zhai while leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Second brother of the emperor, don't forget to bring the singing and dancing girl with you!"

Shui Lan was speechless, so under the expectant eyes of the sixth child, she ordered Wu Dequan to go to Tianlai Garden and Luodie Garden to call twenty singing and dancing girls.After a while, Shui Lan, who was ready, went to Kunning Palace to talk to Wu Tingfang in person, and then took this group of princes and county kings who were so busy every day out for an outing.

The place where this group of clan and royal families went for an outing was near a small depression called Xuanzhen Temple.While walking on the trail in the forest, Shui Lan glanced at the group of half-brothers who were holding bows and arrows, talking and laughing, going hunting, and then bowed their heads in thought.It seems that I shouldn't raise them up like this, but I should find something for them to do. After all, as a prince, even if he grows into a dude, he still has skills.

For example, the eldest brother likes military affairs and can become a mighty general if he goes to the battlefield. Although the third child is a nerd, his knowledge can be compared with some great Confucian scholars. Let’s talk about the fifth child, who is also proficient in the magic of strange wins, let alone the sixth child who is dedicated to imitating his father and being a single-minded person. He can learn it just by listening to it a few times, let alone speak English, German, Italian...

There are also younger brothers under Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, who more or less have a shining point. In the past, Shui Lan raised them and thought it was a waste of food, but now think about it, instead of letting them bury their talents and wait for death all day long , It’s better to call them all up...You must know that they are all brothers, although their mothers are different, but their fathers are the same person, and they all have the same heart to hope that the Dayong Dynasty will be better.

Well, I have to think about it for myself, what exactly I am doing.Is it to develop industry to strengthen the country, or to expand the territory and include America, Australia, etc. within the territory of the Dayong Dynasty...

It's just that the money doesn't seem to be enough...

Thinking about spending a lot of Ku Yin in the national treasury, Shui Lan sighed, always ransacking the house is not the way, after all, he is not the fourth child, and he is not afraid of notoriety.To be honest, he really didn't want to be the emperor's sang for the rest of his life with the reputation of the emperor who confiscated his family.

It seems that we have to think about the formula of glass and cement.

Thinking about it, only by vigorously developing industry and agriculture, and only when the national strength increases, and the silver in the treasury increases, can we proceed to the next step. After all, the expansion of armaments and the strengthening of the army are inseparable from money.Now that the treasury has no money, everything can only be empty talk!

Thinking of this, Shui Lan sighed again, and the ambition in her heart did not decrease because of this, but instead became higher.One day, he Shuilan, the man who defeated Emperor Ziwei, will let the flag of the Dayong Dynasty be planted in every corner of the world, so that his name will be sung by future generations forever.
