The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

After the first three days of the wedding were over, Lin Qingyun followed Tu Yan to the princess mansion.

The night before, Tu Yan had talked to her about Princess Yongjia, which was not much different from what she had guessed at the beginning.The eldest princess was married to the Duke of Zhongyi, mostly for political reasons, because the abolished prince wooed the emperor who was still the prince back then. The emperor was weak at that time and had a good relationship with the prince, so naturally he could not object.Later, the matter failed, and the Supreme Emperor was kind, and the marriage was still completed, but the relationship between the eldest princess and the son-in-law was mediocre, and the son-in-law died of illness when Princess Anle was just born. I also said that the son-in-law has always been concerned about the family of the allotment.As long as there is such a heart, there may be no action.

As for Princess Anle's illness, Tu Yan's statement is very intriguing: "I neglected to take care of her when I was young, and the root cause of the disease fell."

These words are credible when applied to ordinary people, but An Le is the daughter of the eldest princess of Yongjia. I don’t know how many nurses, maids, and mothers-in-law have been with her since she was born. Who can be in the way?Even if someone really hated the Eldest Princess, they should do something to her eldest son.

Furthermore, Tu Yan only said that he was neglected to take care of him, but he didn't elaborate on the reasons for that year, and he didn't say anything about the disease, which directly fell into the root of the disease.

Seeing that Tu Yan didn't want to mention it, Lin Qingyun didn't ask.

When they arrived at the princess mansion, princess Yongjia and her son Lu Hong came out to welcome her.Lu Hong was thirteen this year, four or five months younger than Lin Qingjun, but he was tall. It was said that he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was very strong. Now he was studying in the palace with the princes, and he was very popular with the empress.Lu Hong has a handsome appearance, not like a princess, but maybe like a son-in-law.

"Uncle, aunt." Lu Hong greeted the two of them.

Lin Qingyun was not uncomfortable at all. She was not 13 years old originally, and she was prepared earlier. When Kuang met for the first time, she accepted the gift and gave the gift in person.Boys can't use gold and jade rings or anything like that. What she prepares are two new books and an inkstone.

"Why is there a cover on Hong'er's face?" Tu Yan saw a mark on the side of his forehead at a glance, as if it had been scratched by something, and remembered that he hadn't had it on the day of marriage.

Lu Hong guessed that it was because of Lin Qingjun's presence, so he was a little shy, but he didn't care when he mentioned the injury on his forehead: "Yesterday, I was gesturing with the master, and my movements were slow for a while, and I was scratched by the sword, and only a little bit of skin was broken. That's all."

"It made your mother feel bad again." Tu Yan also knew that this nephew was strong.

"What's so distressing about me? It's not like fighting with people outside. You have to endure hardships to learn your skills." The princess said.

But Tu Yan knew that the elder sister was just saying that, but he didn't know what to do in his heart, this pair of children was the fate of the elder sister.

"These days the family has something to worry about, and I haven't seen my younger siblings until today. No wonder younger siblings." The eldest princess smiled apologetically, and sat down affectionately holding her hand, joking with Tuyan: "Usually I always say you Your vision is so high, I am afraid that there is no woman in the world who can be your princess, but who knows that you are so lucky that you actually found it. It can be seen that sincerity is the result of sincerity, and heaven will also favor it."

Seeing that she looked good, Tu Yan felt a little relieved, and said with a smile, "It is indeed my blessing. Big sister, how is An Le?"

The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "It's much better. Now I'm still recuperating in the house according to the imperial doctor's advice. You don't know her yet. She is the most naughty person. She was spoiled by me since she was a child, and she refuses to settle down for a moment. Recently, let her She was not happy to be confined in the house, but she missed your big wedding again, she doesn't know what it looks like to be depressed. I just found out that you came to see her, and I kept urging people to come and ask if you were there."

After hearing this, Tu Yan went to see Anle with Lin Qingyun.

Princess Anle's residence is next to the eldest princess's yard. The room is spacious and exquisitely furnished.An Le was lying on the couch by the window, flipping through the book with a bored face, and when he saw them coming in, he immediately threw the book away and shouted with a smile on his face: "Uncle!" When he saw Lin Qingyun, he looked a little shy: "Hello, Auntie. "

An Le's complexion is not very good, and she is a little thinner than what she saw when she was out in spring. It really looks like she has been ill.

An Le is ten years old this year and is getting older. Tu Yan doesn't act as intimately as usual, but there is a lot of concern in his words: "Your mother and brother are bothered by your illness, so you can take good care of them. Once you are healthy, I will ask your aunt to make up a post for you."

"What post?" An Le asked eagerly.

Tu Yan looked at Lin Qingyun, Lin Qingyun smiled and said: "Now it's autumn and the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming well, which is suitable for enjoying the flowers and writing poems. Usually when I am at home, the sisters also gather together to write poems for entertainment, so I think about it." Self-recommended as the owner of a club, I invite my sisters to come to the palace for a gathering. Although you call me 'Auntie', we are only a few years apart, and there are sisters who are younger than you. If you like it, I will invite you in the next post. how?"

An Le's eyes lit up, and she looked eager to try. She used her eyes to ask the eldest princess.

The eldest princess caressed her head and sighed: "You! As long as you are well, your aunt will not think you are noisy, and you can go wherever you like."

"My mother loves me the most!" An Le acted coquettishly, and looked at Lin Qingyun with bright eyes: "When will my aunt start the society? I will be raised in just three or two days, so you must wait for me."

"There's no hurry, you can catch up, you just need to rest easy and recover from your illness." Lin Qingyun felt a little emotional for a moment, An Le in front of him looked like a real ten-year-old child. The girls he had seen in the past were brought up by various rules at a young age. A few years older than her actual age.

Lin Qingyun set the poetry club on the [-]th, and sent the posts to the Lin family, the Zhuang family, the Jia family, the Shi family, and the princess' mansion two days in advance.

Because Tu Yan was going to have a female guest in the mansion, he went back to Zhuyunju after having breakfast together in the morning, and said that he would not go to Muhuan Pavilion today.Lin Qingjun knew what he meant, but when the sisters came back for the first time, she didn't plan to take them to Qingfengmingyueyuan, and she didn't want many people to go in to destroy the tranquility.

The garden in the mansion is elegantly built, with mountains, rivers, pavilions, and hundreds of flowers. Two osmanthus trees grow under a small gentle slope, and a path winds around. The hillside is full of jasmine and camellia. Although it is late August , there are still sporadic snow-white buds open.There is a simple pavilion on the hillside. There is a small open space in front of the pavilion, which is paved with large bluestones. There are stone steps on the left and right sides, full of orange and red osmanthus. The water channel under the tree floated leisurely, mixed with red, pink, and white petals that came from nowhere, and drifted away again.

The running water used by this canal is secretly connected to several pools in the mansion, including the small pool in front of the Muhuan Pavilion.

The canal is six or seven feet wide, and a stone bridge is built on it, allowing only two people to walk side by side.There are two ginkgo trees and three red maple trees on the opposite side, and various flower trees are scattered here and there. The scenery is very beautiful.In an open place, a group of beautiful girls are slowly approaching, they are talking or laughing, chirping, adding a lot of color to the whole garden.

Lin Qingjun arranged the banquet to be held in a gazebo on the opposite hillside. The so-called climbing high and looking far, standing on the hillside is enough to look around half of the garden.

"This garden is different from the garden of Nan'an Prince's Mansion." Shi Xiangyun went out with his aunt to socialize, and is familiar with Nan'an Princess. He has been to the mansion there more than once, and he has naturally visited the garden, but in all fairness, it is not as good as the Pure Prince's Mansion. The garden is elegant.It seems that once entering this garden, there are countless poetic feelings to express, which makes people feel nostalgic for visiting.

"Naturally, the gardens in the capital are more atmospheric, while the south is more refined. This garden seems to be a combination of the north and the south. The flowers and plants planted are more emphasis on plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which are favored by literati, and cleverly embellished with bright colors. The red maple, ginkgo and other trees are elegant and quiet, but not too lonely. I heard that this garden was supervised and built by Prince Chun himself." Baochai also heard Baoyu mention it. Looking at it now, there is indeed a spiritual nature in it. .

"That's right, my uncle drew the blueprints for the garden himself, and I consulted several garden masters before finally deciding on it. This garden is not only beautiful in autumn, but also beautiful all year round, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter. In the two years since it was built, I often came to play." It was Princess Anle who said this.

An Le met these people for the first time, no matter how lively the family was, she was a bit cautious after all. Fortunately, Xiang Yun has a carefree temper, and the other sisters are not frivolous. On poetry.

An Le's words are difficult to answer. After all, the prince is a foreigner, and the sisters are not good at talking.

Daiyu took Lin Qingyun's hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whose idea it is, let's just enjoy it for a while, and whoever does not write a good poem later will punish her to pour wine for them."

"What my sister said is that the wine, vegetables and fruits are all ready, just waiting for the sisters to come." Lin Qingyun greeted everyone and went to the pavilion on the hillside.

The four girls from the Zhuang family, Jia Jia Sanchun, Baochai Xiangyun, Anle, Daiyu, and Lin Qingyun herself, there are twelve people standing on the hillside, looking from a distance in colorful clothes and fluttering robes. Gone with the wind, no one came to disturb the huge garden, and Lin Qingyun was the head of the palace, so everyone had no scruples and played with all their heart.This time, the club was named after the sweet-scented osmanthus, and it was called the Osmanthus Club. All the people wrote poems with the theme of sweet-scented osmanthus, a total of twelve poems. Yu Shixiang's intentions are new and elegant, and Tanchun's poems are unique... On the contrary, Lin Qingyun's own poems are mediocre, and they are at the bottom together with Yingchun Xichun.

Lin Qingyun didn't care, drinking the homemade jasmine tea in the mansion, and together with Yingchun Xichun, copied out twelve copies of the twelve poems, so that each of them could take a copy home.As for the others, they had already invited them to continue enjoying the scenery and composing poems. Lin Qingyun had already arranged for the maids and women in the mansion to serve them, so there was no need to worry.

After playing for a day, the sisters had their best time and went home after saying goodbye.

Lin Qingyun stayed Daiyu and Anle for two days.

There are many vacant rooms in the inner courtyard of the mansion, so I chose a good one and placed the two of them there.Originally, she wanted Daiyu to live with her, just because An Le was there, but it was not so good. Furthermore, Daiyu was careful, thinking that it would be embarrassing if the prince bumped into him when he came over?In fact, in Lin Qingyun's opinion, there is no need to worry about it, so what if he bumps into him?Furthermore, Tu Yan knew how to avoid taboos, just like today, he didn't leave Zhuyunju at all.

Lin Qingjun was going to have dinner with An Le Daiyu at night, but both of them said they had no appetite.It is estimated that they are tired from playing during the day, and the two of them are not in good health. Although Daiyu has been raised, she is a delicate little girl.Lin Qingyun then ordered Bailu to arrange some light food to be delivered, and then go to see how the two of them are resting later.

Bai Lu listened to them one by one, and asked again: "Should the concubine's meal be eaten alone, or put together with the prince's?"

She and Tu Yan are the only masters in the palace, and they usually eat three meals a day together.

"Let's put it with the prince." Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qingyun went to Zhuyunju first.

Arriving at Zhuyun Residence, before entering the door, he saw Tu Yan playing chess through the half-opened window, and couldn't help but pause.After all, Lin Qingyun is not an ancient person, and he has only been here for two years. The ability to compose two poems is all due to the little teaching he received in his memory. How can he get such an elegant pastime like playing chess.In the past, Tu Yan used to play chess with his left hand and his right hand. Since she came, he decided to play chess with her. Even if she didn't know how, the other party didn't think she was stupid and taught her personally.

Originally, she didn't reject learning to play chess. After all, there is no limit to learning, and there are many skills that do not overwhelm her body. It's just...

She probably didn't have this talent, and she became more and more discouraged after being taught several times, but Tu Yan was so patient and tolerant that she almost didn't dare to see him.

As soon as Tu Yan saw her expression about to turn around and leave, he laughed. He was used to her calm and stable appearance. At first sight, this kind of panic and fear was quite funny, and he couldn't blame him for always wanting to tease her.

"Weiqing, I won't play chess today." Tu Yan laughed.

"You're only making fun of me!" Lin Qingyun glared at her and walked in anyway.

The lights in the room were turned on early, and a glance at the chess game showed that there were very few white pieces left, and the sunspots were gone.He threw the chess piece in his hand into the white porcelain chess jar, obviously it was not worth wasting effort later, he didn't let the servant girl do it, and slowly packed it up by himself.

Lin Qingyun picked up a chess piece, and a trace of coolness penetrated through his fingertips. This is not agate and jade, but a high-quality Yunzi.

Tu Yan suddenly smiled and asked her: "What good poem did Wei Qing write today?"

"Ask knowingly." Lin Qingyun threw the chess pieces into the chess jar, and said frankly: "I don't have any talent in poetry, not as good as my sisters, especially sister Daiyu's poems are the most spiritual, unique and elegant, I can only envy them. "

"Everyone has their own strengths." Tu Yan seemed to have thought of something, and said, "You know that the Jia family has built a garden before visiting relatives."

"Yeah, I know. But what's the news?" Although they just met the girl from the Jia family, how could they talk about the internal affairs of the Jia family, let alone many things that the girls might not know.

"I heard that the construction has been basically completed, but the money spent is not a small amount. Some people say that it cost 10,000+, some say that it cost 50 million, and some say that it cost millions of silver." Yan himself laughed too. After all, they all knew that no matter how extravagant the Jia family was, no matter how rich their wealth was, it was impossible for them to spend 100 million yuan to build a garden, not to mention that they didn't have that much money.

"It's just rumors. Rumors in the market like to exaggerate and speculate." It is because of the value of money that she always feels that the dowry given by Lin Ruhai is hot, and Jia's family's pockets have already been filled, so it is impossible to have so much money, unless Contribute all the private houses of each house.

Tu Yan agreed: "I know the rumors outside, and I also know how much the Jia family really spent."

Lin Qingyun's eyes were full of doubts.

Tu Yan didn't hide it, but he didn't make it too clear: "The master of the Jia family said that after the completion of the general project of the garden, a total of 30 taels was spent. This does not include the antique appliances and curtains that are placed everywhere. For the curtains and other things, it is said that the antique utensils are allocated by the treasury and various rooms, and the rest are miscellaneous, and it is estimated that they will cost tens of thousands of taels."

Lin Qingyun didn't know the price of bricks, tiles and wood, nor did he know the specific expenses of building a garden, but since antique utensils and other things are not included, 30 taels is not a small amount. Thinking about the Jia family's temperament, he smiled and said: " I'm afraid it really cost so much, at least so much money was taken from the public account, as to whether it was all spent on building gardens, that's unknown."

"Weiqing is transparent, and Shan Jiashe withheld 20 to [-] to [-] yuan of silver from it. How could others not reach out. In this way, the total cost of the garden is estimated to be around [-] yuan, which is extravagant. I really don't know what it is." Searching for the soul, ingeniously crafted." Tu Yan likes to visit the scenery, see the different humanities and customs in various places, and he is also fond of architecture.It is said that Jia Jiayuanzi invited some drawings of Shan Ziye's paintings, and they passed them on, so he was very curious.

Lin Qingyun couldn't see what he was thinking, and raised his brows lightly and said: "It seems that I am more blessed than the prince, and the Jia family will definitely invite me to visit the garden after the virtuous concubine finishes visiting her relatives."

Tu Yan reached out and tapped her forehead, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Then I will punish you to draw a picture of the garden!"

In October, the Jia family's garden was officially completed, except that Jia Baoyu went in with Jia Zheng and others to pick up the plaque, and outsiders were not yet eligible to go in and have a look.The Lin family also pays close attention to the Jia family's garden, and the Jia family's mother-in-law visits relatives, which has nothing to do with the Lin family.At this moment, the Lin family is going to congratulate the dealer.

Zhuang Li returned to his hometown to participate in the autumn competition, and the rankings were released in early October, and Zhuang Li was released from high school.

The third son of the Yang family also participated in the provincial examination, but failed. After all, the provincial examination has always been the most difficult imperial examination, and the number of admissions in each province is limited.Fortunately, the Yang family and even Young Master Yang himself knew that they had to go through it once and take the exam three years later, so it didn't matter if they got the result, and started to discuss the marriage of the two with the Zhuang family.On the [-]th day, the Yang family made a big engagement, and the wedding date of the two families was set on the twelfth of March next year.

Zhuang Lizhong got to know Yuan, the dealer did not have a big banquet for the guests, but only set up two tables, and invited close relatives and friends to congratulate him.

During the banquet, someone laughed and praised: "Brother Zhuang Shi is so lucky that you have made the young master a world-class talent, and you can understand Yuan in the middle. We will fight again in the spring of next year, win the first prize, and then win the number one prize. I will envy others!"

Zhuang Peiqian said with a smile: "It's ridiculous. Quanzi is still young, so the provincial examination is nothing, but he has to wait for the examination. It won't be too late when the article is ready in three years."

Zhuang Pei mainly considered that Zhuang Li was young, and if he became an official, he would suffer a real disadvantage.Let's wait for three years, and if you practice more, you may be able to get a better ranking, and after two or three years of training in the Imperial Academy, you will be able to get a foreign release.Now that the township examination has passed, the name of the candidate can still be heard, but it is possible to decide on the marriage in advance.

Two days later, Zhuang Pei visited Lin Ruhai.

The two talked about poetry and painting, looking at ancient and modern times, it was very fun.Zhuang Pei suddenly took out an article and handed it to him: "Ru Hai, what do you think of this article?"

Lin Ruhai picked it up and saw that the handwriting was unfamiliar. It was a policy theory on "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".This topic is nothing but similar, there are many similar ones throughout the ages, but after looking at the content, I found that this article was sharp in terms of words, straight to the point, and gave several improvement strategies, Lin Ruhai clapped her hands and praised: "Sure enough, a good article! Who did it? If he is an official, he can be a capable minister in the world!"

Zhuang Pei smiled lightly, but asked back: "How about this man being your son-in-law?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, but then he came back to his senses and said with a big laugh, "How good you Zhuang Peiwen! You sent a copy of your son's article to deceive others."

Zhuang Pei shook his head: "This is Gouzi's normal handwriting. You haven't seen it before, so you didn't recognize it." Then he straightened his face and said, "Ruhai, you know how my son's temperament is. I have a heart. How about asking your daughter to be his wife for the sake of the dog, and the two families will be married to each other and become a family of children?"

"My little girl is only eleven this year." In all fairness, Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with Zhuang Li. He has seen his conduct personally, and he has a good literary talent. Right now, he just got to know Yuan, and he will have to wait three years to pass the general examination and enter the palace examination. question.The Zhuang family's family style is also clean and upright, and there is a rule that men do not take concubines. It can be seen from the fact that the Zhuang family has not had such smoky things in the past three generations. If Daiyu went to the Zhuang family, she would definitely not be able to bear the grievances.It's just that Lin Ruhai has only this one direct daughter under his knees, and he regards it as a treasure, and always feels that it hasn't hurt enough, so why would he be willing to give it to others so early.

Zhuang Pei waved his hand and said: "What's the matter, just settle the marriage first, and wait a few years before getting married. Your daughter is a sweet potato. If I don't start sooner, who would turn around and ask for marriage?" Which prince and prince is it?"

A word said to Lin Ruhai's heart, after experiencing what happened to Lin Qingyun, he was afraid that there would be another imperial decree to point Daiyu to the prince's mansion.

"...Let's just say it first, Daiyu will not be able to marry until she is fifteen years old." Lin Ruhai finally let go.After all, the two families had been tempted before, and now they are talking about it in the open. What's more, Lin Ruhai is really afraid of those princes. Since Lin Qingyun got married, there are more ideas for Daiyu. What's even more absurd is that some Those who proposed for the prince's son, and some for the emperor's grandson, made Lin Ruhai dumbfounded and annoyed.

Zhuang Pei was overjoyed when he heard the words. Seeing his sadness and depression, he patted him on the shoulder without any sincerity to comfort him: "Junior brother, look away, a girl will always go to a court when she grows up. Our two families are close, and I know you are only a girl. In the future, if you miss your daughter, just go and see it, and let her come back and stay for a while, just mention it."

"Let's go! If you don't leave, I'll change my mind!" Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth in hatred as if seeing the ruffian appearance of this senior brother when he was young.

Zhuang Pei left contentedly.

Lin Ruhai sat in the study and sighed a few times, feeling really sour and astringent in his heart: "Why did I get persuaded? I should hire a door-to-door son-in-law and let Yu'er live at home..."

This is just casual talk, who knows that a son-in-law is just fine?What if he killed his daughter for family wealth after a hundred years?Or there is no restraint and three wives and four concubines.

Zhuang Li is a capable minister as well as a powerful minister, he can only think on the bright side.
