On the eighteenth day, when she was married in the spring, Lin Qingjun and Daiyu went to put on makeup together on the first day.It was clearly a day of great joy, but apart from Baoyu who was reluctant to welcome the spring and looked sad, Mrs. Wang also drooped her face, and Mrs. Xing also had a face of heartache. Looking at Tanchun and Xichun who dare not speak freely, you know there is another story.

After putting on makeup, Lin Qingyun didn't want to stay longer, and was about to leave, but was invited by Wang Xifeng to drink tea.

Of course, drinking tea is just a way of saying, Wang Xifengping stepped back and sent Ping'er to watch outside the door, and then said to her: "I invite Wangfei to come over, I really have something to ask."

Lin Qingyun laughed when she heard it: "It's really a day without seeing how Sanqiu is. It's only been a few days, and Second Mistress Lian's speech has become very polite."

Wang Xifeng burst into a smile, most of the previous restraint was gone, and then she sighed: "Let's be honest, our second master asked me to ask the princess about this matter. We must not hide the affairs of our mansion from the princess. I am afraid that most of our family has the crime of ransacking the house. For this reason, our second master is worried day and night, sleeps and eats, and fears that the whole family will be imprisoned one day. At first, I laughed at our second master for being cowardly. , but Zhen’s family has been copied. Is it possible that our Jia’s family is special? The empress in the palace can’t count on it. It’s just... the princess knows a lot, I just want to ask, our two families have separated, and those crimes are not there Our eldest room, can't we hide?"

Lin Qingyun didn't expect her to ask this, it was really surprising.

She knew that the person who asked this question was definitely Jia Lian, and Jia Lian was not so much asking her, as he wanted to get a promise or word of mouth from Tu Yan.After all, Jia Lian had been an official for several years, and he felt a little bit about the trend of officialdom and court affairs. He probably knew the emperor's dislike for the old honorable family. If the Jia family were really convicted, he would never be able to escape, and the lightest thing would be to dismiss him from office.

Sipping his tea, he saw that Wang Xifeng's eyes were really worried and frightened, so he asked her back: "Did you not get involved in the terrible deeds of the female family members of the Zhen family?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head quickly, paused, and said: "Someone gave me this idea. It just happened that our second master was appointed as an official, so he didn't take over." Thinking about it now, he was still in a cold sweat, and he became more and more annoyed towards Mrs. Wang.It's just that Mrs. Wang is her aunt after all, and they are all girls from the Wang family. It doesn't do her much good to shake off Mrs. Wang, but she told Jia Lian about this matter early.

"Actually, it's not that I compliment Second Grandma Lian. Everyone in the house praises Second Grandma as a hero in the crowd of fans. She kills decisively, and even men can't match it. It's a waste to just be trapped in this inner house. Those shady things, touching things If the second grandma is in a hurry, I will introduce a good job to the second grandma." Lin Qingyun also suddenly had a flash of flexibility, thinking that if the clubhouse is really built, it really needs talents like Wang Xifeng.He has both status and means, is bold and can be funny, has no problem with successors, and has management skills. It is really hard to find with a lantern.

Wang Xifeng didn't expect her to say this, and seeing that she didn't seem polite, his heart moved: "What errand can the princess introduce to me? We women are trapped in the inner house all our lives, so what's the use of more tricks? Could it be like Miss Bao? to take care of business?"

"I won't tell you for the time being. I will invite you when the time comes. I'm sure you like the job." Lin Qingyun deliberately kept it a secret, and then answered her first question: "I know something about your house, and everyone will pass it on." It's been a long time, and it's hard to keep it clean. If you two families don't separate, if something happens in the future, the big house will definitely not be able to escape, and most of the crimes will be placed on the big house. After all, the master of the house is the big family Master. However, since the family is divided, in the future, everyone will have their own calculations. If it is not a serious crime of treason, it will not easily bring the whole family into trouble. The reason why the Zhen family ransacked the house is that they ran out of money during their tenure. They were greedy for money for disaster relief. Concealing many disasters, the other is forming a party."

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows twitched: "The princess means..."

"When the first emperor was in office, he treated the veterans generously. Because of the difficulties in their families, they allowed them to borrow from the treasury. As a result, when the new emperor came to the throne, none of these veterans took the initiative to repay the money. Your family also borrowed money from the treasury. Yinzi, you don't care about other things, but you can talk about this with your second master and come up with a charter."

Wang Xifeng was inexplicably flustered. If it was just borrowing money, she would definitely not be like this. After all, there are many such people.But for a moment, she couldn't remember why she was flustered.

Lin Qingjun remembered the faces of Mrs. Wang and others before, and asked.

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Our eldest wife is feeling sorry for the large dowry that the second girl took away, how much money can I have? Those dowry items are worth ten to twenty thousand silver, and most of them are dowry gifts from the government of Liguo. Zuo just found some good wooden home decorations from the warehouse. After all, the Duke’s mansion is marrying a daughter, and it’s the door of the Duke’s mansion, so it can’t be too shabby. The other thing is to press the silver box. Our eldest wife has always been stingy However, the Eldest Master only has Brother Kui in his eyes, and he wanted to withhold the money. After all, our Second Master persuaded him, so he made the dowry money of [-] silver from the Li Guogong's family into a box of silver. Take the second sister."

When Wang Xifeng married into Jia's family back then, although the dowry was not as good as Jia Min's red makeup, it was definitely very rich, even tens of thousands of silver in the box, so she had the confidence to mention this matter.During these years in Jia's house, she realized more clearly the importance of a woman's dowry, so even though she was also greedy for money, she did not reach out to Yingchun's dowry, but instead helped to arrange it as much as possible.

Wang Xifeng said again: "The second wife's complexion is not good-looking, and it's because of the dowry. She doesn't want to get anything out of it. Although my aunt is greedy, she is the daughter of the Wang family, and she doesn't think much of that. We separated early, so there is no reason for her to worry about it. It's just that Yingchun's marriage is so rich now, and Tanchun is of the same background, even if it is not as good as the second girl, it can't be too little, right. At that time, the second wife will get the dowry, my aunt Not happy anymore. In addition, Baoyu’s marriage was brought up, but the old lady refused to agree with her life and death. If you ask me, although Baoyu is good, girls from other families are not bad. No matter who you choose, it’s important to make a decision early. Sixteen."

Now that the two families have separated, Wang Xifeng is not worried that Baochai will enter the house and seize the housekeeping right in the future, so she is happy to watch the play.

"Why didn't you go to ask for the virtuous concubine?" This was a question Lin Qingyun had long ago.

Wang Xifeng laughed as soon as she heard it: "I knew that the princess had this doubt, how could she not ask for it, but every time the old lady followed her, how could Mrs. Wang have a chance to speak? Just said it, the old lady said something Damn, it’s not good for the empress to only care about her own mother, after all, the empress was also raised by the old lady."

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, a little girl was shouting something.

"Ping'er, what's going on outside?" Wang Xifeng raised his voice and asked.

Ping'er lifted the curtain and came in, and replied: "Listening to what the little girl was yelling, it turned out that the grandma of Xue's family made a fuss again, and she made up Miss Bao in her mouth. Grandma lost her temper when she accused her."

Wang Xifeng didn't show any surprise at all, she just turned her head and said to Lin Qingyun: "Look, since their family married the eldest grandma, they have to make such a scene every now and then, and that fool Xue couldn't control his wife, so he put his hands aside and hid outside. Not coming back."

"It's really hard for Miss Bao." It's hard enough to think of Xue Baochai's stall.

Daiyu will stay at Jia's house tonight, mainly the sisters will accompany Yingchun. After all, Yingchun will get married tomorrow, and it will be difficult for the sisters to get together again in the future.

Two days later, Lin Qingyun also accepted the post when the eldest grandson of Duke Zhongyong's mansion got married.Duke Zhongyong's mansion is the Queen's natal family, and it is also Princess Huiyi's mother-in-law's house, so Lin Qingyun naturally has to go there.The married young son, Zhou Xu, is sixteen years old and is Ma's nephew of Huiyi County. He is a generation shorter than Lin Qingyun, so he is her cousin.

This is Tu Yan's serious uncle's house.

The descendants of the Zhou family are not very talented, but they are more honest and responsible, otherwise the emperor would not have conferred the title of Duke Zhongyong on the father of the empress.The emperor's biological mother's natal family, the title is the uncle, and it has never been conferred. If it weren't for the old uncle's sake, maybe He would be lowered when he took the title.This is the last favor given by the emperor.

The eldest son Zhou Xu who is married this time is the most outstanding figure in the Zhou family's younger life.Zhou Xu has been studying in the Imperial College and likes to make friends with scholars, so he has a good friendship with Prince Beijing Shui Rong.It is said that Zhou Xu plans to return to his hometown to take the exam next year, so he is quite sure.

The carriage arrived at Duke Zhongyong's mansion, Tu Yan went to the front, and Lin Qingyun was led into the flower hall in the backyard, where many female relatives were already there.Princess Huiyi had been waiting here for her early on, and when she saw her coming, she personally led her to take a seat.As he walked, he reminded her in a low voice: "The Taiping uncle's mansion is also here."

Lin Qingyun paused, knowing that she was actually referring to He Yuefu, so she smiled and said, "I may not have seen Miss He San for a long time, is she eighteen this year? Haven't married yet?"

Huiyi smiled very badly: "Yes, it is said that there are also people who come to propose marriage, but those people are either marrying to fill in the house, or the second son of a fourth or fifth rank official family, or a romantic woman with a house full of maids. Dude, how can He Yuefu like you. Just now you didn't come, and the wives in the flower hall were talking, and someone accidentally asked Tang Yiren if the third girl had promised her marriage. Tang Yiren's face was embarrassing. I was wondering, He Yue Why is Fu so embarrassed to go out? Tang Yiren didn't stop her."

"Perhaps their family has other plans." Lin Qingyun smiled faintly, knowing what the He family was planning, but she was also confident that He Yuefu was insignificant at all.

Huiyi is equally clear, but it's not just because of Huiyi's disdain for Prince Taiping's mansion.Huiyi has always felt that the women around her are different, knowing that she has her own schemes, but looking at her still calm and calm, she couldn't help but worry about her and secretly reminded: "Although she has no schemes, rabbits bite people when they are anxious. The words she spread to slander you in the past year were clumsy, but after all, some jealous people echoed them, and her old uncle is still alive, if she really asks to go to the palace, I'm afraid that in the face of the old uncle, people will It's at your house. Seeing her every day at that time, can you feel at ease?"

Although Huiyi has a domineering temper, she also knows that a man has three wives and four concubines, how can he spend his whole life with a woman.She is very fortunate that she is the princess and has Zhongshun Palace as her reliance, otherwise, even if her family's wooden county horse valued her again, she would probably take a concubine when her family talked about it.It is different now, because of her status, if she does not agree, the county horse will not be able to take concubines. As long as she has a son in the future, she will be able to manage the county horse for a lifetime. Not afraid of the reputation of jealousy.

Prince Zhongshun and his wife really do love their daughter. For the sake of her daughter's better life, they specially asked for an order to build the princess mansion and the county horse mansion together. The young couple live together on weekdays, and the relationship is naturally good.

Huiyi has been used to the nature of men since she was a child, and because Yan is a prince, she expects that there will be many concubines and concubines in the manor in the future. It is useless even if the prince values ​​Lin Qingyun. It was aimed at He Yuefu, out of pure dislike for this person.

"If you want me to say, you have consummated your house now, and you need a son to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible. The prince's health is getting better, but it's not just the He family who sees it enthusiastically. I don't know how many people are staring at your mansion. After all, your mansion You are the only one, so many pits have not been filled, so it makes others feel itchy."

Hearing Hui Yi's earnest muttering, Lin Qingyun couldn't hold back a burst of laughter: "This is not like your behavior, I almost thought it was my aunt talking to me."

Huiyi stared, and said angrily: "I'm worried about you, so it's for nothing. It's up to you."

Lin Qingyun hurriedly said: "I know everything, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will remember everything."

At this time, a maid came over, it was Feixue beside Huiyi.Feixue saluted, but she didn't shy away from Lin Qingyun, and reported directly to Huiyi: "Just now I went to the waiter to send a message. When I came back, I saw Miss He San talking to someone. I didn't know what she was muttering. She hid behind the rocks and said Arrived at Prince Chun's Mansion. I was afraid of being seen by others, so I didn't dare to listen too much, but after some inquiries, it was Zhao Ruren who was with Miss He San."

Huiyi was puzzled: "Which Zhao Ruren?"

"Ms. Zhao Yunshuang from Zhao Yushi's family, married a small official named Zhang of the Imperial Academy four years ago. Last year, Mr. Zhang was promoted to be a seventh-rank editor. Ms. Zhao is not a child."

"Oh, it's her." Huiyi still doesn't like Zhao Yunshuang, not because of anything else, her two temperaments are very similar, how can they get along, besides, Zhao Yunshuang's poetry is good, but she has been overthrown. It made her very ashamed.Huiyi thought for a while, then turned to Lin Qingjun and asked, "I seem to remember that you had a feud with Zhao Yunshuang, but I can't remember it for a while."

"It happened a few years ago." Lin Qingyun and Zhao Yunshuang only met in Tachun that year. At that time, there were many people visiting the spring, so it must have been reported back to the city. Anyone with a little knowledge of the news would know.At that time, she was only the adopted daughter of the Lin family, and even if the Zhao family knew about it, they would not take it to heart, and hated her instead. Later, when she became a princess, the Zhao family was afraid that she would remember the old things, and it had been a long time since she wanted to make amends. It's hard to mention.Over the past few years, she and the Zhao family had met each other, and they were indifferent to each other. She had also heard from Tu Yan that the Zhao family was close to King Dingjun.

Unexpectedly, He Yuefu would get involved with Zhao Yunshuang.

Zhao Yunshuang is different from He Yuefu. Although Zhao Yunshuang married lowly, her natal family should not be underestimated. Moreover, her scheming is much higher than He Yuefu's, plus new and old grudges... Although she never understood, Zhao Yunshuang has successfully married What's the point of staring at her when Zhang Ming is gone?Thinking of the Zhao family being close to the eldest prince, and now that Tu Yan also went to court to participate in politics, she couldn't help but think a little deeper.

After returning to the mansion after the banquet, he couldn't let go of his thoughts, so he simply told Tu Yan about it.

"I'll have someone check it out." Tu Yan had already planned for the future, even after his health recovered, although he was shaken about the future, he never thought of betraying Lin Qingyun.Now the days of peace and companionship are what he is looking forward to, and he does not allow anyone to destroy them, if someone is really malicious, no matter whether the other party is a woman or not, he will not be merciful.

The matter was investigated very quickly, and there was an echo that night.

It turned out that Zhao Yunshuang got involved with He Yuefu for some reason, and both of them were dissatisfied with Lin Qingyun, so they became so-called good sisters.In order to help her good sister fulfill her wish, Zhao Yunshuang went to beg her natal family, but Zhao Yushi had other intentions and agreed.Another operation made the clan's family think that Tu Yan, who was born as a prince and prince, had only one concubine, which was really a disgrace to the royal family.The Clan's Mansion is planning to present to the emperor to choose side concubines and concubines for Tu Yan on the grounds of protecting the face of the royal family and benefiting the descendants of the royal family.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyun was not angry or flustered, but disgusted.

If Tuyan hadn't asked for the emperor's permission, she would not have accepted her side in this life, and just a book from the clan's residence would have given her a headache.Just because the reason of the Clan Mansion is very legitimate, it is recognized by people nowadays, even Tu Yan himself can hardly refute it.Even if there is the emperor's acquiescence now, but when the clan's family mentions it openly, will the emperor really follow the previous words?

After all, Tu Yan's health is getting better, and the emperor is increasingly relying on him. Can Tu Yan really be allowed to guard only one concubine?

Tu Yan was thoughtful, and said after a while: "Ms. Zhao has been stimulated in the early years, and her temperament has become very extreme. She regards Zhang Ming as her own property and controls him very strictly, and does not allow the other party to lose control in the slightest." The place where she targeted you so much, she probably still remembers that the Zhang family had a marriage contract with you. If so, she must have more than one plan." Then Tu Yan called someone in and gave some instructions.

Lin Qingyun was a little annoyed: "After all, what Princess Huiyi said is right, you are a sweet potato now, and there is He Yuefu today, who will be tomorrow?"

"Then I'll continue to be sick." Tu Yan didn't want to see her worry about it, but his identity was destined to be unable to avoid these right and wrong, and it was difficult to leave the capital now.

"It's alright, why are you pretending to be sick?" Nowadays people are superstitious, and if there is no big deal, why would they pretend to be sick and curse themselves.Although she didn't believe it, she didn't want to see Tu Yan hiding in the mansion because of this.Holding his chin and thinking for a while, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As the saying goes: when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. It's just He Yuefu and Zhao Yunshuang. If I, a princess, are afraid of them, what face will I have if it spreads? .Although Zhao Yunshuang has a bad temper, she has done a good job as a fierce wife, and I can learn a thing or two from her."

Tu Yan laughed when he heard this: "What the concubine said is reasonable, everything in our house is under your control, and I will listen to you."

Thinking of something, he said: "I went to the household department to ask yesterday, and there are still a few houses that have not been sold, but the layout and terrain are not very good. The clubhouse you mentioned must be built to be quieter, the garden is essential, and It needs to be a private place, even if the place is too small. There is a suitable place in the west of the city. A teahouse is about to change hands, which happens to be on the corner of the street. Although the space for teahouses is limited, they can buy all of them one at a time. The door is not very big , but the inside can be wider, and there is a river behind it, which can be used as a natural barrier, and it is also conducive to diverting running water to dig ponds."

Lin Qingyun sounded good, took out the plan that he had written earlier, explained it to him one by one, and said: "I don't know the garden map, and I only have a general idea for the establishment of the clubhouse, but you can draw it. After all, these few places are counted, You can add something else as appropriate, and we can discuss it after the drawings come out. How about it?"

"That's good." Tu Yan had drawn pictures of the gardens of the palace before, and had also studied this aspect, so he had some experience.

A month later, will try to release the list.

Lin Qingyun is in the study for a portrait of An Le, which An Le has been begging for for a long time, and today is the end.Put down the paintbrush and call the egret to come in with water and wash your hands.As soon as the door opened, I could only hear the girls outside discussing about the announcement of the exam, and intermittently heard words like the number one scholar and the Lin family.

"Princess, guess who the first name is." Before anyone could hear her voice, Bailing Thrush came in with a towel and fragrant soap to serve her. .

Bailu and Xiangsi are packing paints, cleaning brushes and palettes, she does not allow anyone to touch the things in the studio, and only let Bailu clean up.

While washing his hands, he smiled and said, "There are so many candidates taking the exam every year, how many do I know, if you come to ask me, it must be someone I know. Mr. Zhuang, right?"

"It's the princess after all!" Bai Ling said with a smile: "It is indeed the eldest son of the Zhuang family, and the Huiyuan who will take the exam! Four years ago, the eldest son of Zhuang had to understand the yuan in the provincial examination. This time he is the Huiyuan. □□. Those are all stories in dramas, and I have never seen them before.”

"Don't say you haven't seen it. Since the founding of this dynasty, the total number of people who have won the first prize is no more than one hand. The last one was in the early years of the first emperor, and it has been five or sixty years since now." Lin Qingyun used to hear Lin Ruhai praise Zhuang Li, but now it seems that Zhuang Li is really good.A person who only learns well may not be able to get the first place in the exam. I can't blame Lin Ruhai for saying that Zhuang Li will be a capable minister or a powerful minister in the future.

The Zhuang family had announced the good news to all the families, but they didn't put out a large amount of wine to celebrate. Zhuang Li only went to the Lin's house once, and the rest only got together with a few friends and stopped socializing.Everyone also understands that after all, the imperial examination will follow immediately. Although it is just a re-ranking, it is extremely important.

The dealer kept a low profile, but many people came to congratulate him.

Apart from the in-laws of the Zhuang family, the Lin family, as the quasi-in-law's family, was naturally the first to visit.Even though Lin Ruhai usually picks Zhuang Li in his mouth, he is very happy at this moment, and he can't help but sweat for Zhuang Li's palace exam, even though he was not so nervous in the palace exam back then.In addition, the princess mansion also sent people to send congratulatory gifts, as well as gifts from Lin Qingyun, Zhuang Pei's colleagues and subordinates, etc.For a while, everyone in the capital knew that Zhuang Li, the eldest son of the Zhuang family, had a romantic personality, outstanding literary talent, and excellent character. He also saw that he passed the palace examination and entered an official career in the future. His future is limitless.Those who have daughters regret it, and envy the Lin family for choosing a good son-in-law, not to mention the Zhuang family's family style, how many girls would like to replace Lin's Daiyu.

Daiyu is self-satisfied and funny, and also a little bit ashamed, but fortunately her wedding day is coming soon, so she doesn't have to go out to attract red eyes.
