Dongfu has always ignored Xichun's affairs, and let her grow up in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, but except for the girls' monthly money and hair oil powder, Dongfu still provides all kinds of expenses. She is a daughter of the Ningguo Mansion.

Now that Xichun is recognized as the granddaughter of the old concubine, Jia Zhen sent Mrs. You to pick up Xichun and stay home for a few days, but Xichun refused to go there.She felt that the mansion was filthy, and she hid herself on weekdays, so she didn't want to get dirty again.Jia Zhenyou knew her temperament, Kuang couldn't control her before, and now that she's the choice for a married couple, he dared not control her, so he could only let her go.Jia Zhen ordered Youshi to prepare a dowry for Xichun, whether it was out of interest or conscience. From the outside, it looked like three big boxes. After all, Xichun's real dowry came from Nan'an Palace or the court.

The things were delivered to Liaofengxuan, and the sisters gathered together in Nuanxiangwu, but no one spoke, and the room was quiet.

"Miss, this is sent by the elder of the East Mansion." Since entering the painting, Xichun has not added a maid by her side, so Caiping is the only one to take care of everything in the room, and sometimes she is too busy.

Xichun glanced at the three big red boxes, lowered her eyes and remained silent, as if she hadn't seen them.

Shi Xiangyun couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he stood up and asked, "Brother Zhen, did you bring something good? Hurry up and bring it in and open it."

"What do you want these troublesome sons to do, the fourth sister will be sent to the foreign domain to be the princess." Baoyu is a sad person, even if Baochai repeatedly reminded her when she came, she couldn't hold on now, and cried bitterly while lying on the table.Baoyu really can't figure it out, why such a good thing happened in Haohaoer's family, it doesn't count that a group of maids were expelled from Yihong Courtyard, the third sister will be sent to Nan'an Palace as a concubine, and the fourth sister will be sent to Nan'an Palace Baoyu, who has always been kind and weak, couldn't help but say bitterly: "Nan'an Palace has an enmity with our family? It's not enough to kill the third sister, but also to kill the fourth sister!"

"Baoyu, stop talking nonsense." Baochai was startled, and quickly winked at the attacker, fearing that he would say something else.

Xiren also said in a hurry: "Second Master, you haven't finished reading the book yesterday, the master wants to check it today, let's go back."

Since the inspection of the Grand View Garden, Baoyu was moved out within a few days and placed in the front yard.Jia Zheng urged him to study every day, and he was not allowed to read those books of poetry and Zhuangzi, only four books and five books were frequently tested.Baoyu also went to Jiamu to cry, but Jiamu thought that Baoyu would not be able to rely on her after a hundred years, so she had to persuade Baoyu to study hard.Afterwards, Baoyu probably got used to it. Even though there was not much spirituality in those career articles, Jia Zheng naturally treated him more leniently if he could make them.

Baoyu has experienced so many separations, even though she is still naive, she is not the same as before.

Hearing Xiren's words, he laughed at himself and said: "Don't lie to me, the master is not at home today, so he would never ask about my book. Besides, knowing about the fourth sister, he would not come to find me at this time. "

Xiren was startled, and felt that such a precious jade was strange.

Xichun suddenly asked him: "Second brother, in the past you always said that it is best for sisters to be together for the rest of their lives, but now you should understand that everyone has their own destination. .In the future we are all gone, so what about you?"

Baoyu looked at Xichun in a daze, with daze, pain and struggle in his eyes.

Fearing that he would fall ill, Xiren laughed first and said, "Fourth Miss, what are you talking about, if the second master's madness is brought on, we will not even think about living."

After a few people left, Caiping packed up his things, at least opening three large boxes.

"Girl, Sister Yindie said when she brought the things, these are the dowry of the wife back then, and the elder specially found them for the girl." There are several exquisite ornaments and boxes of various kinds of jewelry inside. It is a good item that is hard to find outside.When a layer of velvet was uncovered, the color screen exclaimed: "Gold!"

Xichun glanced at it, but saw a layer of golden gold ingots on the bottom of a box, each weighing twelve taels, a total of twenty, and two layers of silver, a total of 1000 taels, and a small red lacquered box beside it. It is full of newly struck gold and silver locks, which are specially used for appreciating people, so it can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent.Although if Xichun gets married normally, this idea is basically the same as sending a beggar, but this time to get married, the dowry is decided by the court, and the Ningguo Mansion will even get a reward, so you can prepare some practical things for Xichun. Silver, after all, can be regarded as a trace of friendship.

Xichun, however, felt the irony more and more, if it wasn't for the marriage, how could there be a girl in the East Mansion.

Within a few days, Nan'an Palace sent servants to pick up Xichun.

It was already August, and the Nan'an Prince's Mansion issued a report. The imperial court acquiesced in Xichun as a marriage partner, and issued an imperial decree, bestowing Xichun as the head of Ninghe County and the eldest prince of the foreign domain.The daughter of the prince is called the princess, and the daughter of the king of the county can only be called the county princess. Princess Jingyi was named to appease Nan'an Wangfu, so even if she is also the princess, Jingyi is not as good as Huiyi, the authentic royal princess .As for An Le's canonization, it was because the eldest princess was the empress's daughter, and because the marriage was not the emperor's will, the emperor just made up for it.Even if it is to make up, it will only make up for the granddaughter, but there is no reward for Lu Hong, because once Lu Hong is rewarded, more inheritance and government affairs will be involved.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent four nuns to teach the rules and etiquette, and they will also marry relatives in the future. The foreign domain also sent people. It was because they were satisfied after seeing Xichun, and they knew that they were the daughters of the Duke's Mansion, so they nodded.After all, it is not without any news channels for foreign feudal vassals to come to Beijing. If you want to inquire, you can always know.

The dowry for the marriage was undertaken by the Nan'an Palace. For the prince's safe return, the Nan'an Palace also spent a lot of money. The dowry was very rich, which was definitely comparable to the marriage of the county king.In September, when the marriage mission set off, Jia Lian was appointed as the deputy marriage envoy, and because the marriage partner was the daughter of Jia's family, the imperial court allowed Jia's family to see him off.

Lin Qingyun had a big belly, so she didn't go, saying that she was too sad and unwell.

Jia's mother is getting old, and it coincides with the eventful autumn of the past two years. She is not feeling well for a while, so she orders Yuanyang to send Xichun on her behalf.Cars are prepared in Jia's mansion, Mrs. Jia Shexing, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, Jia Zhenyou, Jia Rong Jia Qiang, Wang Xifeng Ping'er, Tanchun Xiangyun Baochai, together with the married Yingchun and the borrowed Xing Xiuyan and Baochai. Qin is here.

He and his relatives and missions went south by water, so they saw off at the ferry.

A treasure ship was dressed in red and green, and was very festively dressed, but from the ship to the shore, no one had a happy face.Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's face is full of worry and worry, because Baoyu insisted on marrying Xichun, and even secretly submitted a love letter to the court without telling the mansion. The group went south, so Mrs. Wang dared not stop her no matter what.Mrs. Wang was extremely annoyed by this, and she decided to find out who gave Baoyu the idea. Her Baoyu had always been a national traitor Lu Beetle who was an official.How can I send the zhezi to the imperial case?

In the end, after checking and checking, there was no result. Jia Baoyu couldn't see Mrs. Wang punishing the girl in the house, so he took the initiative to say: "I begged the prince of Beijing, and the prince handed me the booklet."

Mrs. Wang suddenly fell silent, she thought maybe Baoyu begged Daiyu, and Daiyu turned to Prince Chun's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be Prince Beijing.No matter who she can't afford to offend, but if that girl from the Lin family is really troublesome, she can still get angry. If Prince Beijing Jing helps, what can she say?

Baoyu was expecting this, so he didn't tell the truth.

In fact, it was Lin Qingjun and Tu Yan who helped.

Lin Qingyun was also really surprised, she didn't expect Jia Baoyu to come to see Tu Yan in person, in order to marry Xichun.According to Tuyan later, Baoyu's expression was very calm at the time. Although he was sad about Xichun's far-off marriage, there seemed to be more things.Maybe Jia Baoyu wanted to get out of Jia's house and have a look outside.

Lin Qingyun didn't know if Jia Baoyu would become a monk in the future, or if he would indulge completely, or make some changes, but it was not easy to make up his mind to take a step forward.

After all, Xichun was still young, and wearing the bright red phoenix coronet was very tiring, especially the heavy crown made her neck sore, but the boat was not sailing at the moment, so she couldn't take it off.Standing on the bow, looking at the relatives on the shore, even though I knew I would come back, but now I was so sad by the tears of my sisters, I opened my mouth and couldn't say any words of comfort.

At this time, Baoyu asked in a puzzled voice: "The sisters are all here to see off the fourth sister, why didn't sister Lin come?"

Xichun smiled faintly: "Second elder brother doesn't know yet, sister Lin is happy, how can I bear a sad parting."

Daiyu found out she was pregnant during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she is less than two months old now.

In August, it was known that Xichun was going to marry far away, and Daiyu was already sad and depressed. In addition, after drinking two glasses of wine in Mid-Autumn Festival, her body reacted immediately, and she found out she was pregnant only after asking a doctor for a pulse check.Lin Qingjun didn't tell Daiyu the truth at first, but when she heard that Daiyu was pregnant, she was so frightened that she rushed to see her, and told her the truth in detail, and Daiyu felt better.These days, Daiyu is only recuperating in the mansion.

Baoyu was in a trance when he heard the news, and seemed to wake up after a while, and nodded with a smile: "This is indeed a happy event, sister Lin has a good result."

"Second brother, are you alright?" Xichun felt that Baoyu's expression just now was not quite right.

"I'm fine. I've never had a better time." Baoyu said to her suddenly, "I was walking on the street that day and suddenly saw Grandma Liu. That's when I realized that Qingwen had married into their village and lived a very happy life." Good. Everyone got involved in right and wrong because of me, and it's good for everyone to leave me, and they should go out early, don't delay because of me. "

This is like crazy again.

"sail--"

With this cry, there was a lot of crying on the shore and on the boat.

There are not only people from the Jia family, but also people from Nan'an Palace, there are also many relatives and friends of the dowry.They don't know how to get along with their relatives. How can they not be sad when they go away and it will be difficult for their relatives to see each other again.It was Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, who wept for the spring and worried about Jia Lian. After all, Xihai Yanzi had just fought, so what if they fought again when they got there?There have been no such examples in the past.

Jia Lian didn't know the inside story either, he just thought that Prince Chun valued him and asked him to experience it for a while, apart from being afraid, he was full of ambition.It's just that Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, and there are young girls and weak children at home. Jia Lian is really worried, so she can only tell Ping'er repeatedly, and ask her wet nurse, Nanny Zhao, to take care of her more.

Seeing the boat disappear on the river, the group turned back.

When Tanchun returned to the mansion, she caught a glimpse of the embroidery rack placed in the corner, on which was the unfinished pink wedding dress, and when she got the news that Prince Nan'an had been captured, she didn't touch a single stitch.The life and death of the prince of Nan'an is uncertain, how can the palace be in the mood to hold a happy event, when the prince returns, it must be a year later, and it is unknown what will happen at that time.

However, it is said that the prince of Nan'an was captured, the court was shaken up and down, and one family was also very nervous, that is, the family of Lin'an Bofu.

Lin'an Bo Mansion and Nan'an Prince's Mansion are related by marriage, their aunt married the old prince of Nan'an, and now she is the old concubine of Nan'an Prince's Mansion, her natal family naturally got a lot of benefits.The two families have always been closely related, the prince of Nan'an is not in the capital all the year round, but Lin'an Bo's mansion is involved in everything, so the old concubine treats her natal family more and more affectionately.Although the prince of Nan'an has been captured now, the imperial court has agreed to the conditions of the foreign vassal, and it is only a matter of time before the prince is redeemed, but Lin'anbo Mansion is worried about growing.

Although Jiang Cong is a greedy and lustful dude, his father is a bit shrewd, especially when he thinks about the aristocratic family that was uprooted by the emperor last year together with the Zhen family, he feels guilty.

The Supreme Emperor is gone, and the original four kings with different surnames, except for the prince of Nan'an who controlled the military power, the other three surrendered themselves for various reasons early on and became idle princes.The Lin'an House once felt that the three princes were too cowardly, and there was a big difference between those who had power and those who had no power. Besides, the orders of the generals outside the country were not accepted. Even if the emperor wanted to take power, he would have to worry about it, but this time the prince of Nan'an had an accident, which was an excellent opportunity.Once the emperor regained his military power in a legitimate manner, the Nan'an Palace would lose power, and the Lin'anbo Mansion, which was attached to it, would probably be the first to suffer.

Today's emperor is not as benevolent as the Supreme Emperor.

After Lin'an Bosi thought about it, only his marriage with Uncle Taiping's mansion might save him a little bit, and at worst, his son Jiang Cong might be able to escape the catastrophe.It's a pity that they are all staring at the matter of Nan'an Palace right now, the two families are close, it is impossible to get married and have a happy event at this juncture, so they can only be suppressed temporarily.

In the blink of an eye, it was already October, and Wang Xifeng was talking to Ping'er that the peace mission should have arrived at the West Sea, but within a few days they heard that there was a war.Wang Xifeng hurriedly sent Wang'er out to inquire about the details, and it took half a day for Wang'er to come back, standing outside the door panting while replying.

"Second Mistress, the servant went out to inquire about it, and they all said that there was indeed a war in Xihai Yanzi. The imperial court's marriage team arrived at the place, and proposed to meet the Prince of Nan'an before making the marriage and signing the document. No one was there, and the imperial court repeatedly questioned him, and the foreign domain actually launched a surprise attack. Later, the court officials learned from a lieutenant general who was captured together at the time that the prince was seriously injured when he was captured that day, and fell into the sea. , the foreign feudal clan sent several ships to search for several days but failed to find it. The foreign feudal clan only wanted to benefit from the imperial court and was afraid that the imperial court would pursue it, so they said they wanted to marry each other, thinking that after the marriage, the two countries would become in-laws, and the imperial court would not fight wars. "

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were terrified when they heard this, and quickly asked again: "When did the fight start? How is the battle going? Did anyone say how about the people who made peace?"

Wang'er hurriedly replied: "The slave also inquired about it, but the news was only passed back to Beijing, and the outsiders don't know the details."

Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, and hurriedly ordered Wang'er to prepare the car: "Let's go to Prince Chun's Mansion, maybe the princess knows something. If you don't ask, I'm really worried. Not only the second master is there, but the fourth younger sister is also the county head of the marriage." , and Baoyu is here, so I don’t know what to do.” Then he explained: “Don’t let the old lady know, so as not to worry the old man.”

Recently, Mother Jia's health has been poor. The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious about it. Mental weakness and physical decline are common in old age.He also said that it is not appropriate to make the old lady angry and sad, and it is not appropriate to be overjoyed and so on.

Before she could go out, she saw Mrs. Wang rushing over and asked, "Young girl Feng, have you heard about the outside world? Baoyu, Baoyu... I didn't let him go at first, but he just wanted to go. Now that the war is going on, he still doesn't know what he's afraid of, and there's no news from Pianjing." Mrs. Wang burst into tears as she spoke, she only had Baoyu as her lifeline, so how could she not worry about it.

"Second wife, don't panic, I'm going to inquire about it." Wang Xifeng was not very happy when she heard these words. Although Baoyu was indeed naive, not only did things make people worry, but there were also Jia Lian and Xichun, who, as aunts, didn't even ask. One sentence.

Seeing that she was indeed going out, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Are you going to ask your uncle? Just right, let's go together."

"My aunt is going to ask my uncle, I'll ask Princess Chunqin about it." Wang Xifeng didn't go to ask the Wang family earlier,

Hearing that Wang Xifeng came to the door, Lin Qingyun immediately guessed what he meant and ordered him to be invited in.

Now Wang Xifeng is four months pregnant, and some traces can be seen, and because of worry, her complexion is not very good.Lin Qingyun excused her and ordered someone to sit down and have tea.The tea is jujube and ginger tea, with some honey added in it. Since the weather has turned cold at the end of September, this is the tea she drinks on weekdays.

Wang Xifeng was also thirsty, took two sips and thought it was good, tasted it again, and then said with a smile: "After all, a princess is particular, a tea also has these tricks."

It's not that she has so many tricks, it's all arranged by Tu Yan.

Lin Qingyun didn't go around in circles, and directly stated her reason for coming: "Are you here to ask about the peace mission?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from the concubine. The fourth sister, Baoyu, and our second master are all in the West Sea. A war broke out between our good friends and relatives. When I heard the news, I was scared to death. How can I sit still? I had to come to Wangfei to inquire about some news. I don’t dare to ask more questions, but I just want to know if the missions with relatives have gone to sea by boat?” Wang Xifeng’s family ancestors were in charge of the tribute trade of various countries, and they knew a little about the things going on and off at sea. My son, but this is the first time I've experienced marriage, so I'm not sure where Jia Lian and the others are now.This kind of thing that involves court affairs is very sensitive, and the emperor's management of the mission is very strict for safety reasons, and Jia Lian and others are not allowed to contact people privately.

"The marriage mission is very good. They are now stationed in Guangzhou and did not go out to sea by boat. To make a marriage, you have to meet the Prince of Nan'an first. If you don't see him, there is no other way to talk. The outsider's thinking is too simple." Lin Qingyun understated As he said, the thrill of it was unknown to outsiders.

For this matter, the emperor didn't even use the imperial guards, but activated the hidden guards.When the big ship of the family was still sailing on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the secret guards had already arrived in Guangzhou quickly, and from Guangzhou they took a boat to the foreign domain.When the peace mission arrived in Guangzhou, the secret guards had found out where the prince of Nan'an was being imprisoned by the foreign domain. When the foreign domain was unprepared, they moved the tiger away from the mountain, robbed the prince of Nan'an, and brought him back to the capital.Of course, the prince of Nan'an who returned to the capital is just a body.This is still good, if the prince of Nan'an is still alive, one day in the future, the emperor will completely eradicate the palace of the prince of Nan'an, now at least his mother, wife, and children are still alive and enjoying the honor.

In fact, it is fine if the king of Nan'an County comes back alive. After all, he lost the battle, so he can take back his military power for this reason.It's just that there are many party members in the Nan'an Palace, and it is very likely that they will plead for the resumption of military power. The situation is full, and no one knows Xihai Yanzi better than the Nan'an County King. The emperor does not want to see such a situation.On the other hand, Xihai Yanzi has become more and more rampant in the past few years, and the emperor has obtained a batch of good guns. I hope that the foreign feudal clan who can take this opportunity to fight will never dare to have wolfish ambitions, once and for all.

Wang Xifeng felt relieved when he heard that the peace mission was not involved in the flames of war.

Seeing Lin Qingjun sitting lazily on the warm couch, with a Persian blanket on his body, his abdomen swelled high, counting with his fingers, it has been more than seven months, and said: "The princess is probably going to be born in the twelfth lunar month. Look at the princess His complexion is rosy and his spirits are good, which shows that Xiao Shizi is healthy."

"No matter what, he must be a kid." Lin Qingjun smiled and didn't make much excuses.Although she also hoped that her first child would be a son, so the pressure would be much less, but it was nothing but compliments from others, but Fan Shu said that it is likely to be a young son.Most imperial physicians would not dare to say such words when encountering noble people taking their pulses. Fan Shu just said goodbye that day, and after a convenient consultation, he said this.He also said that anyone who has practiced medicine for many years can probably figure it out, but only seven or eight percent.

"I'm really looking forward to having another boy. It's not easy for a woman in life. If you can't have a son, you don't have the confidence. In the past, I wanted to be strong, but I always refused to admit it. Since I got Brother Kui, I understand that some things are destined." Wang Xifeng sighed, Thinking of the past years of struggling to take care of the big and small affairs of the family, paying the dowry, and wasting energy, not only did they not get a good word, but they got scolded and hated instead.Now that Kui Ge'er is born, even the stingy elders and wives often reward her with things, and praise her ability all the time.

"Why do you have to think so much? After all, you have Brother Kui, so you are not afraid of having a sister. Besides, you are still young, and it is not easy to want a child." Lin Qingyun chatted with Wang Xifeng on the rare occasion when someone came to the door.

After Wang Xifeng left, Lin Qingyun walked back and forth in the house, and then looked out at the sky. It was dark and the wind was blowing hard, and it might snow at night.Sure enough, in the afternoon, the snowdrops began to crackle, and Tu Yan came back with a cold body.Now the outsider took off his cloak, washed his hands and face with hot water, and then entered the inner room.

Tu Yan habitually touched her stomach first, asked her how she was eating and resting, and then said a piece of news: "Today I went to the palace to pay my respects to the queen mother, and I heard something. Last night, the concubine Xiande accompanied her , Dishonored in front of the imperial court, demoted to the side hall, removed from the title, and demoted to nobleman."
