Seeing that Shen Shi was approaching, it was time for Chu Yang to come back, Lin Qingjun ordered the kitchen to prepare some of Chu Yang's favorite snacks.When it's neither early nor late, I usually weigh my stomach with snacks, so that I won't be able to eat at night, and I won't be able to sleep well at night when I'm hungry.
Finally, the subordinates came to report that the son had returned.
"Brother!" Brother Rui was bored all by himself, and was the first to run out to greet him.
Lin Qingjun followed closely behind, seeing that Chuyang's expression was not right at a glance, without first asking the little eunuch who was following him, he waited to enter the house, and brought soup and snacks, Chuyang just looked at it, as if he had no appetite.Brother Rui didn't know how to look at him, he just thought that when Chu Yang came back, someone would play with him, and happily showed off his new purse, Chu Yang looked at it, but was still unhappy.
Lin Qingyun asked Acacia to take Brother Rui to play elsewhere, then patted Chu Yang's head and asked him what happened.
"Mother..." Chuyang's voice was very frustrated, even a little crying, because he felt that he had grown up and was the eldest brother, even if he accidentally fell or touched him, he would not shed tears easily, but at this time he felt wronged The appearance made Lin Qingyun feel distressed.
Listening to Chu Yang's story about going to the study room, Lin Qingyun immediately realized that someone was doing something wrong on purpose, not necessarily with vicious intentions, but it was just a stumbling block due to jealousy.At the beginning, she agreed to Jia Kui to be a companion, but it might not be convenient. In case everyone was affected or isolated from Chuyang out of heart, at least he had Jia Kui as a friend to talk to.
She had thought about what happened today many times, knowing that it would happen sooner or later.
I was thinking about how to guide, but I heard Chu Yang say again: "I saw that it was cousin Yun from Sanbo's family who tripped brother Hang."
Lin Qingyun paused and asked him back: "Then why didn't you say it?"
Chu Yang looked at her, and he didn't know how to explain it. Maybe it was just out of his own sensitivity that he didn't tell the truth subconsciously.
"Chuyang, do you know your identity?"
"I am the eldest son of the Pure Prince's Mansion, the emperor's grandson of the emperor's grandfather." Tu Yan told him this at the beginning, so Chu Yang remembered it very clearly.Tu Yan told him about the glory of his status and the responsibilities he bears. Although he didn't understand much, he remembered one thing. He will take care of his younger brother, father and mother in the future. He must be excellent and do a good job, so he must be better than many Work Hard.
Although looking at Chu Yang with his back straight and his head held high, his proud and confident appearance is very cute, Lin Qingyun couldn't bear such premature growth.However, Tu Yan said that his background cannot be changed, the path is preordained, and this is an inevitable process.The children of those aristocratic families are all the same. They have to learn the rules at a young age, study hard, and bear the glory of a family and a clan on their shoulders.
Holding Chuyang in her arms, she said slowly: "Your father taught you, and he also told you that when you go to study in the palace, others may dislike you and target you. What did you say at that time?" ?”
"I'm not afraid!" Chu Yang replied firmly, as if he had realized something: "Mother, do they not like me because I am more noble than them?"
"...Yes. Your father is the emperor's only legitimate son, and you are your father's eldest son, so your status is higher than theirs. Of course, it is also because Chuyang is very smart and easy to learn, and they are afraid."
"What are they afraid of?"
"They are afraid that you will be favored by the emperor. The emperor is not only your grandfather, but also the head of our family, and even the head of the world. If you are liked by the emperor, you can get many things."
"Are they afraid that I will take away what they want? What is it?" Chu Yang asked.
"You'll know when you're older." Lin Qingyun couldn't say clearly.
Chu Yang frowned and thought about it, and said: "They bullied me, but I can't return it. My father taught me and my younger brother to be brothers and sisters. They are my cousins, and I should be respectful, but I am not happy. I am a younger brother, but they don't love me. They are afraid that I will be liked by the imperial grandfather, and that I will steal the good things, so I want to be liked by the imperial grandfather, and they want to take away the best things."
"...Who taught you all this?" Lin Qingyun was speechless for a while.
"Father taught me." Chu Yang seemed to have figured it out, and was finally happy. He put his arms around her neck and said coquettishly: "Mother, I will give you all the good things I get, give them to my father, and give them to my younger brother."
Lin Qingjun kissed his little face lovingly, but broke him away in shame, and muttered with a blushing face: "Mother, I have grown up, and my father will laugh at me when he sees it."
Lin Qingyun laughed, pointed to the things on the table and said, "Eat two pieces of dim sum to weigh your belly, and drink the soup while it's hot, your favorite yam tofu soup."
A maid from outside came in to serve Chu Yang to clean his hands, and then Chu Yang sat upright on the chair and started to use the soup in a leisurely manner.Tu Yan is very strict in teaching children, but not strict. Chu Yang first learned from words and deeds.Children like to imitate, so Tu Yan asked Chu Yang to learn from him. Gradually, Chu Yang was influenced by Tu Yan a lot, and this calm temperament also came from this.For example, eating, no matter how much he likes or how hungry he is, Chu Yang will never lose his etiquette, unlike Brother Rui, who acts like a living monkey every day.
After Tu Yan came back, Lin Qingyun told him about Chu Yang.
Tu Yan said: "The princes have come here since they were young, even if we have many disciples, competition is inevitable. Don't worry, the emperor in the palace is watching."
"What about when you were a child?" Lin Qingyun asked him.
Tu Yan chuckled: "I'm different from Chu Yang. I have a sickly body. Who would work hard on me? At that time, the imperial brothers hid far away, fearing that I would be uncomfortable and rely on them. .I didn’t stay in the study for a few years. Later, my health became worse and worse, and my spirit was not good. It was the master who went to the Nansan School to teach, and I was the only one among the princes.”
Lin Qingyun could hardly imagine what kind of day it was.
"You'an, do you think Chuyang still has a chance to go out?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Tu Yan knew what she meant, but if the emperor let him go, he would never let Chuyang go again.Besides, as Chuyang, there are too many things to learn, and he really can't spare the time to travel further.
In June, Lin Qingyun received a letter from Xichun, which said that Xichun was pregnant, and now it has been three months, so she wrote a letter to announce the good news. In addition to the delay on the road, it is estimated that she was pregnant in February.At the beginning of August, Daiyu and his wife sent someone from central Shu to Beijing to present the festival gift, and sent a letter along the way, also announcing the good news.Daiyu diagnosed her happy pulse in July. Although it was less than three months old, Daiyu still took advantage of the opportunity of gift giving to announce the happy event.
Daiyu asked about Xiangyun in the letter.
Xiangyun left Beijing at the beginning of the year, and the escort returned as early as May.At that time, Baoyu didn't go very far, so it was easy to catch up, but at first Baoyu hid from Xiangyun, and after a tossing for a month or two, the two of them finally went south together.In June, Xiangyun wrote a letter to Wang Xifeng to report his safety. It is said that he has arrived in Huangshan, but now he has changed places again.
Lin Qingyun replied, writing about Xiangyun's news, and some news about central Beijing, and ordered Xiangsi to open the warehouse to choose some good light, soft and dense materials for Daiyu to have clothes cut.The place in central Sichuan is very hot and humid, and the brocade produced is the best. Daiyu sent several pieces in the boxing gift, all from the local weaving bureau. The materials she gave were the best for pajamas or gauze skirts.Thinking of Daiyu's tricky mouth when she was pregnant, she packed a few dried fruit snacks that she liked and sent them to her.
Just finished working, Xiangsi suddenly came in and reported: "The third lady in the Second Prince's residence is ill."
The second prince is the King of Chengjun. Although his title has been lowered, the mansion has not changed, only the plaque on the gate has been changed.People outside are still accustomed to calling this place Chengjun Prince's Mansion, while officials call it Your Highness, not Generals. As for the concubines and concubines in the mansion, they all use their old names in private. After all, they are used to it and only talk about it formally. It's called Ma'am.
The third lady refers to the Gao family, and the side concubine Chen is called the second lady.
Lin Qingyun remembered meeting her in the palace last month, Gao's complexion was very good, why did she get sick within a month?After all, if it's just a simple cold and cold, she won't report to her. After all, Mrs. Gao is not the wife of the wife, and she doesn't need people to pay attention to the troubles.
"What's the disease? How's the disease?"
"It's said that there was a cold wind at night, and I caught a cold. I took a few medicines and it didn't help, but it got worse, and now I have a fever. The imperial doctor in the palace went to see it, and it is said that it is not good."
The imperial physicians have said that it is not very good, I am afraid that this disease is really difficult to recover.
Lin Qingyun didn't have any friendship with Gao Shi, so she sighed once and sent someone to deliver the things and it was over.
The person who went back said: "The third lady in the mansion is really very ill. She has lost a lot of weight, her face is flushed with heat, and she is just talking nonsense with her eyes closed. The young lady is crying outside the door, because she is afraid of getting sick. I don’t dare to let them in, it’s so pitiful.”
Indeed, Mrs. Gao herself knew that her illness would not get better this time.
Chengjun Wang has not allowed her to live.
It's ironic, at first she was so close to the county king, even if the county king wanted Zhen's seat to be replaced by her, she could participate in it, but now, she has become an abandoned son.The king of the county directly broke the connection between the Gao family and the Nan'an palace, and promised to take good care of the two children and take care of the Gao family.No matter how unwilling she is, it's useless, but thinking of the county king's ruthlessness and lack of kindness, it is still difficult to rest assured of the future of her son and daughter.
If she is gone, how can they not avenge her sons and daughters according to the old and new enmity between her and the Zhen family and the Chen family.
"Nurse, help me ask Aunt Jia to come over."
Tanchun was very surprised to learn that Mrs. Gao invited her, but Mrs. Gao was the third wife, and she had to come when the third wife summoned her.Although he came to say hello every day, Gao didn't see anyone, and now he was startled when he saw Gao's sick face. With his face, it's no wonder no one was there.
Gao ordered everyone around him to retreat, leaving only Tanchun in the room.
Gao said: "You must be wondering why I want to see you. I really don't have much energy in my body now, so I won't circle around with you. My illness will never recover. The only thing I can't worry about is the eldest girl and Xuan. Brother, they are all good children, if you treat them well with all your heart, they will be filial to you."
Tanchun was quite shocked by these words: "What does the third lady mean?"
Tuogu?Why did Mrs. Gao leave her alone?
Gao's mouth twitched into a mocking smile: "I know you have been helping Zhen, but what did you get from Zhen?"
Tanchun's heart skipped a beat, but he tried hard to steady himself: "I don't understand what the third lady is saying."
"Ms. Zhen must be coaxing you, saying that she can help you enter the county palace. You need a way out, and she needs an arm, right?" Mrs. Gao's guess is close to ten. Although the inside story is different, Mrs. Gao ignores Tanchun. With a tense and defensive posture, Tanchun suddenly threw out a message that made Tanchun lose control: "Do you know that Mrs. Zhen has been drugging you?"
"What?" Tanchun's fingers trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "What medicine? What medicine? How do you know?"
Gao said: "I have been in this mansion for so many years, and I always have some connections of my own. If you accept me, these connections will naturally belong to you." Then he revealed the secret that Tanchun was kept in the dark: "I am also It was discovered by accident that Mrs. Zhen put medicine in your diet, making it impossible for you to conceive. The medicine entered your body slowly and for a long time, and the time is not short. Don't you have the slightest doubt? You have been in the mansion for a long time , Grace is also at the top, why is there no good news for so long?"
Tanchun turned pale, but gritted his teeth and asked again: "What side effects does the medicine have?"
"It probably made it difficult for you to conceive." Gao rested for a while, and then said: "My illness can't last for a few days. I see that you are always smart. If you have your own contacts, you will definitely have a place in the mansion. , That's why I told you this. You should think about it carefully."
Tan Chunxu staggered back to the house, and immediately ordered the attendant to invite the doctor.
As Gao said, through hard work, Tanchun finally got a certain favor from the county king, so it is not too difficult to invite an outside doctor to come in if he is not feeling well.Tanchun had given the words to the servant earlier. After the doctor came, the servant asked: "Doctor, our aunt has always been in good health, why is there no joy?"
After hearing this, the doctor had a good idea, examined the pulse carefully, and said: "Judging from the pulse of this aunt, she has a cold palace syndrome, which is so severe that it is difficult to conceive."
"Gonghan?" Tanchun had heard the word before, knew some symptoms, and his face became paler.In the past, when the sunflower water came, she would have abdominal pain, and she would not be energetic all day long, so that she did not suspect that the symptoms had worsened in the past half a year.Every time the doctor took the pulse, she would say some clichés, and she really didn't pay attention to this aspect, but she was tricked by someone.Tanchun regained consciousness in a trance, and hurriedly asked, "Can it be cured?"
"This, this old man is not good at medicine, so please ask my aunt to find another expert." The doctor is not an idiot, so he can naturally see that Gong Han is not born with such a physique. Thinking of the many secrets in this deep house compound, how could he want to mess with it.What's more, this medicine has been used too much, it is really difficult to cure.
Tanchun invited another doctor two days later, his words were similar to the previous one, and his heart felt ashamed.
For a moment, Tanchun wanted to rush to Zhen Shi to question her, but she held back, so what?Zhen Shi's defensive measures are nothing more than fearing that she will have a son and become the second Gao Shi.
Tanchun cried a lot, but in the end she went to see Gao Shi. This was the only way she could go.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao died of illness.
All the mansions sent people to sacrifice, except for those who knew Gao's identity, no one thought Gao's death was strange.Although Lin Qingyun felt a little strange, but the affairs of Chengjun Prince's Mansion were over, and she had no time to care about others.As Chu Yang's days in the study grew longer, various small problems followed. Although Chu Yang would mostly ask Tu Yan for advice, as a mother, she couldn't help but care about every step of the way.
If there is anything good about her that Tu Yan does not have, it is that she was born in the era of information explosion, and has heard and seen many of them. Chu Yang likes to hear her bedtime stories the most, not fairy tales, but various Kind of a fable.It has to be said that Chu Yang likes to ponder, and asks when she doesn't understand, and often asks her speechless, so she has to ask Tu Yan for help.
The emperor observed Chu Yang secretly, and found that after experiencing the isolation, rejection, and even small tricks of others, Chu Yang still respected these brothers, but studied harder in private.This kind of composure is invaluable in a child. Even though Chu Yang has his own little plans, he looks so cute, which can be regarded as the most blatant conspiracy.
Recently, someone in the court suddenly proposed to establish a crown prince, and there were many people who agreed, but they never recommended a candidate, only saying that the decision was made according to the holy will.The emperor immediately understood that this was secretly manipulated by someone, which meant to test whether he had the heart to establish a prince and who he liked in his heart.
The emperor suppressed the book, did not talk about it, did not mention it, and treated it coldly.
It is too obvious a temptation to ask for a crown prince when the royal family has a son who is outstanding.Usually the emperor reacted with only two results, one is to establish the son-in-law as the prince, which is orthodox, and most of the courtiers in the court will agree, and the other is to find an excuse to suppress the matter of the prince, which will undoubtedly give others a signal, The emperor has not finalized the candidate, and all princes have a chance.Both results have advantages and disadvantages, but because the emperor has other considerations, he has not dealt with it for the time being.
Concubine Wu Gui and the others were naturally afraid that the emperor would establish a crown prince, so Tu Yan's status would no longer be shaken.
Concubine Rong thought the opposite.
Concubine Rong also made people agree with the proposal of setting up the prince, but she hoped that the emperor would set up Tuyan on this book.If you want to understand Concubine Rong's scheming, you have to talk about the Yizhong old prince back then.The Supreme Emperor doted on Prince Yizhong so much back then, and made him the crown prince since childhood, but in the end, he ended up in such a fate.The crown prince is the crown prince, and he has strict requirements on words and deeds. If Tu Yan really becomes the crown prince, he will be accepted, and his inner house will no longer be so stable.Furthermore, when the crown prince is in full bloom, and the emperor is at the peak of his spring and autumn, there will always be an outstanding prince by his side. Over time, gaps will appear in the relationship between father and son, and the trust between the monarch and his ministers, and even gradually collapse. A slight push is enough to cause the prince to fall into the abyss.
Therefore, Concubine Rong wanted Tu Yan to become the crown prince in order to cause him to fall miserably from a high position and never recover.But right now, Tu Yan, who is the prince of the prince and the son of the first son, does not want to grab power and profit, is like a slippery fish that people can't catch, and they are favored and trusted by the emperor, which is really not good for them.
Lin Qingyun also heard about the movement in the court. Although she didn't think it through completely, she also guessed that someone had bad intentions.
Tu Yan's strategy for this was the same as that of the emperor, and treated him coldly, as if there was nothing wrong with it.Seeing that they couldn't make a fuss, those people had to calm down after a while.
Lin Qingyun has been busy choosing a girl these days.
Xiangsiben is the same age as Bailu, Bailu was released in advance, Xiangsi turned 25 this year, Xiangsi is the first on the roster of people released by the mansion.Many people below came to beg, but Lin Qingyun didn't answer, only saying that Acacia's parents would make the decision, and she only cared about the dowry.She asked Xiangsi in private, because her parents knew that Xiangsi would release her when she was old, and they had been seeing their son-in-law a year or two earlier, and now they are already in agreement.The man's family opened a tea shop, his only son, his parents are hardworking and honest people, opposite in temperament to his lovesick parents, and the matchmaker of the two families agreed that they were satisfied with each other.
On the contrary, the man is three years younger than Xiangsi, and he is 22 this year. Even so, it is a late marriage nowadays.The man had previously said that he was a relative, but the woman died of illness before getting married.
Acacia's parents love their daughter, and the situation is that she came from the side of the princess. Even the officials and lords want to accept her as a concubine, but her parents are honest and responsible people, and they know the pain of being a concubine, so they don't want their daughter to go.Xiangsi is getting really old, and her parents are reluctant to let her fill in someone else's house. It's hard to be a second wife, and it's hard to find the current marriage.The reason why the other party agreed was that Acacia came from the prince's mansion, and she had a decent dowry. A batch of tea leaves in their family suffered heavy losses from damp a few years ago, and the family's vitality was damaged. Marrying such a wealthy daughter-in-law is naturally satisfying. .
Lin Qingyun had inquired that the man's family was an ordinary businessman, and it was human nature to be a little snobby, so he asked Xiang Xiang what he thought.
Xiangsi shyly said: "My parents have put a lot of thought into me, and now this family is really a good family."
Acacia was arranged by her parents to see the man, and since she can say these words, it can be seen that she is satisfied.
Lin Qingyun sighed: "You left, I lost my arm again."
"There's also Bailing Thrush. Although she loves to play and quarrel, she does things neatly and thoughtfully, which is better than me." Xiangsi knows her own strengths and knows that she can't compare with Bailu. She always pays close attention to these maids. , and said at this moment: "I usually see that Li Qiu is the best among the four of them. He has winks, understands the rules, and is not bad at speaking. The princess can use it if she adjusts it. Bailing Thrush will not be able to do it in two years. If you want to go out, you should choose a few little maids to prepare."
Acacia's marriage was done very quickly, and the betrothal gift will be finished by the end of the year, and we can only wait for the next spring to welcome the relatives.
Only Bailing Thrush was left as the big maid beside Lin Qingjun, and she didn't add any more. She usually used the four of Lichun and Liqiu, and chose four more young maids to use them.At the beginning, there were quite a few maids in Tuyan's Zhuyunju, except for those who were let out, the rest were still working there. Now Chuyang and Rui live in Zhuyunju, and each of them has a nanny and a nanny. A large group of girls.
When Chuyang grew up, he wanted to live alone, but Tu Yan proposed to live in Zhuyunju, but Brother Rui wanted to follow him, so they moved there together at the beginning of the year.
At the end of the year, Lin Qingyun was sending out annual gifts to various families, when Bai Ling came in and said, "Princess, there is a grandma Liu who came to pay her respects. The servants don't know which family it is, so they have specially reported it."
Lin Qingyun was also puzzled. After reading the famous post, it suddenly dawned on her that it was Xue Baochai!
It has been three or four years since Xue Baochai left the capital, and it is unknown when she came back, also known as "Grandma Liu", or when she got married?
When Baochai arrived, he suddenly felt a little dazed when he saw it.
Baochai was originally born as beautiful as a peony, with a slightly plump physique. This year she is 23 years old, her color is more beautiful and eye-catching, but her figure is more plump than before.Suddenly I remembered that Baochai was married, and counting the time, maybe it was because of having a son.The relationship between her and Baochai has always been indifferent. Although Baochai handles things smoothly, as the saying goes, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace", so Baochai must have something to do when he returns to the capital.
Seeing the greetings, Lin Qingyun asked when she got married.
Baochai smiled lightly and said: "When I returned to my hometown that year, my mother worried about my marriage. Later, my second aunt acted as a matchmaker and proposed my current husband's family, Liu's family. The Liu family's ancestors were also officials before, only from the previous generation. I fell into ruin, my family was poor, and only my mother-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law were struggling to survive. My uncle studied hard and passed the provincial examination a few years ago. Because he had no money to spend, he failed to take the exam. The uncle is our family's hope Fortunately, I have some dowry, so I rushed to Beijing before winter, took care of the house, installed appliances, and bought servants. I was so busy, but I almost forgot to tell everyone that I gave gifts during the new year, but I ran away myself Seems sincere."
After hearing this, Lin Qingyun understood that Baochai went to Beijing for the examination in the spring of next year.
Thinking that it is a blessing for Baochai to have a good marriage, Baochai has always hoped that her husband and wife will be prosperous, so she wanted to persuade Baoyu to study and improve her career, but Xue Pan was beheaded for committing a crime. In this way, when people get married, the marriage must be decided after a long time of searching.
In fact, things are not as simple as Baochai said.
Although the Liu family is poor, they have a good reputation. The grandparents are all scholars, and the uncle of the Liu family has been a smart scholar since he was a child.The uncle of the Liu family got married after being selected as a scholar, and he married the daughter of a mentor. The young couple was also loving, but his wife was infertile for several years. The mother of the Liu family inevitably said some nasty words, and as a result, Liu's wife was depressed and blind. The folk prescription for pregnancy, so much so that I mistakenly believed in Fang Langzhong, and after taking a dose of medicine, the person would be gone.
The uncle of the Liu family mourned the death of his wife, and even angered his old mother from the bottom of his heart, and refused to remarry for many years.This time Liu's mother talked about her younger sister's marriage. In order to get her dowry to marry, the Liu family's uncle finally got married because he thought that he was already 30 years old. After staying, someone burned paper for the ancestors on Qingming Festival.
After Baochai got married, Liu's mother treated her well, her sister-in-law was easy to get along with, and even the Liu family's uncle treated her with respect, and this year she had another son, and her husband would be going to high school next year, but Baochai felt bitter after all.She was also the eldest daughter of the eldest family of the Xue family of the four major families in Jinling. She grew up with a lot of gold and jade, and she had aspirations for success in her heart, but now she is married to a poor scholar, and the other party only has his dead wife in his heart.
In fact, it was only when Baochai realized that she could have gotten more, but when she was pregnant, and in order to show her virtuousness, she gave Yinger beside her to the uncle as a housemaid... At that time, the uncle looked at her very Strange, but after thinking about it, it should be surprise, disappointment, and finally calm.
At that time, he once said: "You are always so virtuous, that's all, my mother likes you because of your virtuousness."
Finally, the subordinates came to report that the son had returned.
"Brother!" Brother Rui was bored all by himself, and was the first to run out to greet him.
Lin Qingjun followed closely behind, seeing that Chuyang's expression was not right at a glance, without first asking the little eunuch who was following him, he waited to enter the house, and brought soup and snacks, Chuyang just looked at it, as if he had no appetite.Brother Rui didn't know how to look at him, he just thought that when Chu Yang came back, someone would play with him, and happily showed off his new purse, Chu Yang looked at it, but was still unhappy.
Lin Qingyun asked Acacia to take Brother Rui to play elsewhere, then patted Chu Yang's head and asked him what happened.
"Mother..." Chuyang's voice was very frustrated, even a little crying, because he felt that he had grown up and was the eldest brother, even if he accidentally fell or touched him, he would not shed tears easily, but at this time he felt wronged The appearance made Lin Qingyun feel distressed.
Listening to Chu Yang's story about going to the study room, Lin Qingyun immediately realized that someone was doing something wrong on purpose, not necessarily with vicious intentions, but it was just a stumbling block due to jealousy.At the beginning, she agreed to Jia Kui to be a companion, but it might not be convenient. In case everyone was affected or isolated from Chuyang out of heart, at least he had Jia Kui as a friend to talk to.
She had thought about what happened today many times, knowing that it would happen sooner or later.
I was thinking about how to guide, but I heard Chu Yang say again: "I saw that it was cousin Yun from Sanbo's family who tripped brother Hang."
Lin Qingyun paused and asked him back: "Then why didn't you say it?"
Chu Yang looked at her, and he didn't know how to explain it. Maybe it was just out of his own sensitivity that he didn't tell the truth subconsciously.
"Chuyang, do you know your identity?"
"I am the eldest son of the Pure Prince's Mansion, the emperor's grandson of the emperor's grandfather." Tu Yan told him this at the beginning, so Chu Yang remembered it very clearly.Tu Yan told him about the glory of his status and the responsibilities he bears. Although he didn't understand much, he remembered one thing. He will take care of his younger brother, father and mother in the future. He must be excellent and do a good job, so he must be better than many Work Hard.
Although looking at Chu Yang with his back straight and his head held high, his proud and confident appearance is very cute, Lin Qingyun couldn't bear such premature growth.However, Tu Yan said that his background cannot be changed, the path is preordained, and this is an inevitable process.The children of those aristocratic families are all the same. They have to learn the rules at a young age, study hard, and bear the glory of a family and a clan on their shoulders.
Holding Chuyang in her arms, she said slowly: "Your father taught you, and he also told you that when you go to study in the palace, others may dislike you and target you. What did you say at that time?" ?”
"I'm not afraid!" Chu Yang replied firmly, as if he had realized something: "Mother, do they not like me because I am more noble than them?"
"...Yes. Your father is the emperor's only legitimate son, and you are your father's eldest son, so your status is higher than theirs. Of course, it is also because Chuyang is very smart and easy to learn, and they are afraid."
"What are they afraid of?"
"They are afraid that you will be favored by the emperor. The emperor is not only your grandfather, but also the head of our family, and even the head of the world. If you are liked by the emperor, you can get many things."
"Are they afraid that I will take away what they want? What is it?" Chu Yang asked.
"You'll know when you're older." Lin Qingyun couldn't say clearly.
Chu Yang frowned and thought about it, and said: "They bullied me, but I can't return it. My father taught me and my younger brother to be brothers and sisters. They are my cousins, and I should be respectful, but I am not happy. I am a younger brother, but they don't love me. They are afraid that I will be liked by the imperial grandfather, and that I will steal the good things, so I want to be liked by the imperial grandfather, and they want to take away the best things."
"...Who taught you all this?" Lin Qingyun was speechless for a while.
"Father taught me." Chu Yang seemed to have figured it out, and was finally happy. He put his arms around her neck and said coquettishly: "Mother, I will give you all the good things I get, give them to my father, and give them to my younger brother."
Lin Qingjun kissed his little face lovingly, but broke him away in shame, and muttered with a blushing face: "Mother, I have grown up, and my father will laugh at me when he sees it."
Lin Qingyun laughed, pointed to the things on the table and said, "Eat two pieces of dim sum to weigh your belly, and drink the soup while it's hot, your favorite yam tofu soup."
A maid from outside came in to serve Chu Yang to clean his hands, and then Chu Yang sat upright on the chair and started to use the soup in a leisurely manner.Tu Yan is very strict in teaching children, but not strict. Chu Yang first learned from words and deeds.Children like to imitate, so Tu Yan asked Chu Yang to learn from him. Gradually, Chu Yang was influenced by Tu Yan a lot, and this calm temperament also came from this.For example, eating, no matter how much he likes or how hungry he is, Chu Yang will never lose his etiquette, unlike Brother Rui, who acts like a living monkey every day.
After Tu Yan came back, Lin Qingyun told him about Chu Yang.
Tu Yan said: "The princes have come here since they were young, even if we have many disciples, competition is inevitable. Don't worry, the emperor in the palace is watching."
"What about when you were a child?" Lin Qingyun asked him.
Tu Yan chuckled: "I'm different from Chu Yang. I have a sickly body. Who would work hard on me? At that time, the imperial brothers hid far away, fearing that I would be uncomfortable and rely on them. .I didn’t stay in the study for a few years. Later, my health became worse and worse, and my spirit was not good. It was the master who went to the Nansan School to teach, and I was the only one among the princes.”
Lin Qingyun could hardly imagine what kind of day it was.
"You'an, do you think Chuyang still has a chance to go out?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Tu Yan knew what she meant, but if the emperor let him go, he would never let Chuyang go again.Besides, as Chuyang, there are too many things to learn, and he really can't spare the time to travel further.
In June, Lin Qingyun received a letter from Xichun, which said that Xichun was pregnant, and now it has been three months, so she wrote a letter to announce the good news. In addition to the delay on the road, it is estimated that she was pregnant in February.At the beginning of August, Daiyu and his wife sent someone from central Shu to Beijing to present the festival gift, and sent a letter along the way, also announcing the good news.Daiyu diagnosed her happy pulse in July. Although it was less than three months old, Daiyu still took advantage of the opportunity of gift giving to announce the happy event.
Daiyu asked about Xiangyun in the letter.
Xiangyun left Beijing at the beginning of the year, and the escort returned as early as May.At that time, Baoyu didn't go very far, so it was easy to catch up, but at first Baoyu hid from Xiangyun, and after a tossing for a month or two, the two of them finally went south together.In June, Xiangyun wrote a letter to Wang Xifeng to report his safety. It is said that he has arrived in Huangshan, but now he has changed places again.
Lin Qingyun replied, writing about Xiangyun's news, and some news about central Beijing, and ordered Xiangsi to open the warehouse to choose some good light, soft and dense materials for Daiyu to have clothes cut.The place in central Sichuan is very hot and humid, and the brocade produced is the best. Daiyu sent several pieces in the boxing gift, all from the local weaving bureau. The materials she gave were the best for pajamas or gauze skirts.Thinking of Daiyu's tricky mouth when she was pregnant, she packed a few dried fruit snacks that she liked and sent them to her.
Just finished working, Xiangsi suddenly came in and reported: "The third lady in the Second Prince's residence is ill."
The second prince is the King of Chengjun. Although his title has been lowered, the mansion has not changed, only the plaque on the gate has been changed.People outside are still accustomed to calling this place Chengjun Prince's Mansion, while officials call it Your Highness, not Generals. As for the concubines and concubines in the mansion, they all use their old names in private. After all, they are used to it and only talk about it formally. It's called Ma'am.
The third lady refers to the Gao family, and the side concubine Chen is called the second lady.
Lin Qingyun remembered meeting her in the palace last month, Gao's complexion was very good, why did she get sick within a month?After all, if it's just a simple cold and cold, she won't report to her. After all, Mrs. Gao is not the wife of the wife, and she doesn't need people to pay attention to the troubles.
"What's the disease? How's the disease?"
"It's said that there was a cold wind at night, and I caught a cold. I took a few medicines and it didn't help, but it got worse, and now I have a fever. The imperial doctor in the palace went to see it, and it is said that it is not good."
The imperial physicians have said that it is not very good, I am afraid that this disease is really difficult to recover.
Lin Qingyun didn't have any friendship with Gao Shi, so she sighed once and sent someone to deliver the things and it was over.
The person who went back said: "The third lady in the mansion is really very ill. She has lost a lot of weight, her face is flushed with heat, and she is just talking nonsense with her eyes closed. The young lady is crying outside the door, because she is afraid of getting sick. I don’t dare to let them in, it’s so pitiful.”
Indeed, Mrs. Gao herself knew that her illness would not get better this time.
Chengjun Wang has not allowed her to live.
It's ironic, at first she was so close to the county king, even if the county king wanted Zhen's seat to be replaced by her, she could participate in it, but now, she has become an abandoned son.The king of the county directly broke the connection between the Gao family and the Nan'an palace, and promised to take good care of the two children and take care of the Gao family.No matter how unwilling she is, it's useless, but thinking of the county king's ruthlessness and lack of kindness, it is still difficult to rest assured of the future of her son and daughter.
If she is gone, how can they not avenge her sons and daughters according to the old and new enmity between her and the Zhen family and the Chen family.
"Nurse, help me ask Aunt Jia to come over."
Tanchun was very surprised to learn that Mrs. Gao invited her, but Mrs. Gao was the third wife, and she had to come when the third wife summoned her.Although he came to say hello every day, Gao didn't see anyone, and now he was startled when he saw Gao's sick face. With his face, it's no wonder no one was there.
Gao ordered everyone around him to retreat, leaving only Tanchun in the room.
Gao said: "You must be wondering why I want to see you. I really don't have much energy in my body now, so I won't circle around with you. My illness will never recover. The only thing I can't worry about is the eldest girl and Xuan. Brother, they are all good children, if you treat them well with all your heart, they will be filial to you."
Tanchun was quite shocked by these words: "What does the third lady mean?"
Tuogu?Why did Mrs. Gao leave her alone?
Gao's mouth twitched into a mocking smile: "I know you have been helping Zhen, but what did you get from Zhen?"
Tanchun's heart skipped a beat, but he tried hard to steady himself: "I don't understand what the third lady is saying."
"Ms. Zhen must be coaxing you, saying that she can help you enter the county palace. You need a way out, and she needs an arm, right?" Mrs. Gao's guess is close to ten. Although the inside story is different, Mrs. Gao ignores Tanchun. With a tense and defensive posture, Tanchun suddenly threw out a message that made Tanchun lose control: "Do you know that Mrs. Zhen has been drugging you?"
"What?" Tanchun's fingers trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "What medicine? What medicine? How do you know?"
Gao said: "I have been in this mansion for so many years, and I always have some connections of my own. If you accept me, these connections will naturally belong to you." Then he revealed the secret that Tanchun was kept in the dark: "I am also It was discovered by accident that Mrs. Zhen put medicine in your diet, making it impossible for you to conceive. The medicine entered your body slowly and for a long time, and the time is not short. Don't you have the slightest doubt? You have been in the mansion for a long time , Grace is also at the top, why is there no good news for so long?"
Tanchun turned pale, but gritted his teeth and asked again: "What side effects does the medicine have?"
"It probably made it difficult for you to conceive." Gao rested for a while, and then said: "My illness can't last for a few days. I see that you are always smart. If you have your own contacts, you will definitely have a place in the mansion. , That's why I told you this. You should think about it carefully."
Tan Chunxu staggered back to the house, and immediately ordered the attendant to invite the doctor.
As Gao said, through hard work, Tanchun finally got a certain favor from the county king, so it is not too difficult to invite an outside doctor to come in if he is not feeling well.Tanchun had given the words to the servant earlier. After the doctor came, the servant asked: "Doctor, our aunt has always been in good health, why is there no joy?"
After hearing this, the doctor had a good idea, examined the pulse carefully, and said: "Judging from the pulse of this aunt, she has a cold palace syndrome, which is so severe that it is difficult to conceive."
"Gonghan?" Tanchun had heard the word before, knew some symptoms, and his face became paler.In the past, when the sunflower water came, she would have abdominal pain, and she would not be energetic all day long, so that she did not suspect that the symptoms had worsened in the past half a year.Every time the doctor took the pulse, she would say some clichés, and she really didn't pay attention to this aspect, but she was tricked by someone.Tanchun regained consciousness in a trance, and hurriedly asked, "Can it be cured?"
"This, this old man is not good at medicine, so please ask my aunt to find another expert." The doctor is not an idiot, so he can naturally see that Gong Han is not born with such a physique. Thinking of the many secrets in this deep house compound, how could he want to mess with it.What's more, this medicine has been used too much, it is really difficult to cure.
Tanchun invited another doctor two days later, his words were similar to the previous one, and his heart felt ashamed.
For a moment, Tanchun wanted to rush to Zhen Shi to question her, but she held back, so what?Zhen Shi's defensive measures are nothing more than fearing that she will have a son and become the second Gao Shi.
Tanchun cried a lot, but in the end she went to see Gao Shi. This was the only way she could go.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao died of illness.
All the mansions sent people to sacrifice, except for those who knew Gao's identity, no one thought Gao's death was strange.Although Lin Qingyun felt a little strange, but the affairs of Chengjun Prince's Mansion were over, and she had no time to care about others.As Chu Yang's days in the study grew longer, various small problems followed. Although Chu Yang would mostly ask Tu Yan for advice, as a mother, she couldn't help but care about every step of the way.
If there is anything good about her that Tu Yan does not have, it is that she was born in the era of information explosion, and has heard and seen many of them. Chu Yang likes to hear her bedtime stories the most, not fairy tales, but various Kind of a fable.It has to be said that Chu Yang likes to ponder, and asks when she doesn't understand, and often asks her speechless, so she has to ask Tu Yan for help.
The emperor observed Chu Yang secretly, and found that after experiencing the isolation, rejection, and even small tricks of others, Chu Yang still respected these brothers, but studied harder in private.This kind of composure is invaluable in a child. Even though Chu Yang has his own little plans, he looks so cute, which can be regarded as the most blatant conspiracy.
Recently, someone in the court suddenly proposed to establish a crown prince, and there were many people who agreed, but they never recommended a candidate, only saying that the decision was made according to the holy will.The emperor immediately understood that this was secretly manipulated by someone, which meant to test whether he had the heart to establish a prince and who he liked in his heart.
The emperor suppressed the book, did not talk about it, did not mention it, and treated it coldly.
It is too obvious a temptation to ask for a crown prince when the royal family has a son who is outstanding.Usually the emperor reacted with only two results, one is to establish the son-in-law as the prince, which is orthodox, and most of the courtiers in the court will agree, and the other is to find an excuse to suppress the matter of the prince, which will undoubtedly give others a signal, The emperor has not finalized the candidate, and all princes have a chance.Both results have advantages and disadvantages, but because the emperor has other considerations, he has not dealt with it for the time being.
Concubine Wu Gui and the others were naturally afraid that the emperor would establish a crown prince, so Tu Yan's status would no longer be shaken.
Concubine Rong thought the opposite.
Concubine Rong also made people agree with the proposal of setting up the prince, but she hoped that the emperor would set up Tuyan on this book.If you want to understand Concubine Rong's scheming, you have to talk about the Yizhong old prince back then.The Supreme Emperor doted on Prince Yizhong so much back then, and made him the crown prince since childhood, but in the end, he ended up in such a fate.The crown prince is the crown prince, and he has strict requirements on words and deeds. If Tu Yan really becomes the crown prince, he will be accepted, and his inner house will no longer be so stable.Furthermore, when the crown prince is in full bloom, and the emperor is at the peak of his spring and autumn, there will always be an outstanding prince by his side. Over time, gaps will appear in the relationship between father and son, and the trust between the monarch and his ministers, and even gradually collapse. A slight push is enough to cause the prince to fall into the abyss.
Therefore, Concubine Rong wanted Tu Yan to become the crown prince in order to cause him to fall miserably from a high position and never recover.But right now, Tu Yan, who is the prince of the prince and the son of the first son, does not want to grab power and profit, is like a slippery fish that people can't catch, and they are favored and trusted by the emperor, which is really not good for them.
Lin Qingyun also heard about the movement in the court. Although she didn't think it through completely, she also guessed that someone had bad intentions.
Tu Yan's strategy for this was the same as that of the emperor, and treated him coldly, as if there was nothing wrong with it.Seeing that they couldn't make a fuss, those people had to calm down after a while.
Lin Qingyun has been busy choosing a girl these days.
Xiangsiben is the same age as Bailu, Bailu was released in advance, Xiangsi turned 25 this year, Xiangsi is the first on the roster of people released by the mansion.Many people below came to beg, but Lin Qingyun didn't answer, only saying that Acacia's parents would make the decision, and she only cared about the dowry.She asked Xiangsi in private, because her parents knew that Xiangsi would release her when she was old, and they had been seeing their son-in-law a year or two earlier, and now they are already in agreement.The man's family opened a tea shop, his only son, his parents are hardworking and honest people, opposite in temperament to his lovesick parents, and the matchmaker of the two families agreed that they were satisfied with each other.
On the contrary, the man is three years younger than Xiangsi, and he is 22 this year. Even so, it is a late marriage nowadays.The man had previously said that he was a relative, but the woman died of illness before getting married.
Acacia's parents love their daughter, and the situation is that she came from the side of the princess. Even the officials and lords want to accept her as a concubine, but her parents are honest and responsible people, and they know the pain of being a concubine, so they don't want their daughter to go.Xiangsi is getting really old, and her parents are reluctant to let her fill in someone else's house. It's hard to be a second wife, and it's hard to find the current marriage.The reason why the other party agreed was that Acacia came from the prince's mansion, and she had a decent dowry. A batch of tea leaves in their family suffered heavy losses from damp a few years ago, and the family's vitality was damaged. Marrying such a wealthy daughter-in-law is naturally satisfying. .
Lin Qingyun had inquired that the man's family was an ordinary businessman, and it was human nature to be a little snobby, so he asked Xiang Xiang what he thought.
Xiangsi shyly said: "My parents have put a lot of thought into me, and now this family is really a good family."
Acacia was arranged by her parents to see the man, and since she can say these words, it can be seen that she is satisfied.
Lin Qingyun sighed: "You left, I lost my arm again."
"There's also Bailing Thrush. Although she loves to play and quarrel, she does things neatly and thoughtfully, which is better than me." Xiangsi knows her own strengths and knows that she can't compare with Bailu. She always pays close attention to these maids. , and said at this moment: "I usually see that Li Qiu is the best among the four of them. He has winks, understands the rules, and is not bad at speaking. The princess can use it if she adjusts it. Bailing Thrush will not be able to do it in two years. If you want to go out, you should choose a few little maids to prepare."
Acacia's marriage was done very quickly, and the betrothal gift will be finished by the end of the year, and we can only wait for the next spring to welcome the relatives.
Only Bailing Thrush was left as the big maid beside Lin Qingjun, and she didn't add any more. She usually used the four of Lichun and Liqiu, and chose four more young maids to use them.At the beginning, there were quite a few maids in Tuyan's Zhuyunju, except for those who were let out, the rest were still working there. Now Chuyang and Rui live in Zhuyunju, and each of them has a nanny and a nanny. A large group of girls.
When Chuyang grew up, he wanted to live alone, but Tu Yan proposed to live in Zhuyunju, but Brother Rui wanted to follow him, so they moved there together at the beginning of the year.
At the end of the year, Lin Qingyun was sending out annual gifts to various families, when Bai Ling came in and said, "Princess, there is a grandma Liu who came to pay her respects. The servants don't know which family it is, so they have specially reported it."
Lin Qingyun was also puzzled. After reading the famous post, it suddenly dawned on her that it was Xue Baochai!
It has been three or four years since Xue Baochai left the capital, and it is unknown when she came back, also known as "Grandma Liu", or when she got married?
When Baochai arrived, he suddenly felt a little dazed when he saw it.
Baochai was originally born as beautiful as a peony, with a slightly plump physique. This year she is 23 years old, her color is more beautiful and eye-catching, but her figure is more plump than before.Suddenly I remembered that Baochai was married, and counting the time, maybe it was because of having a son.The relationship between her and Baochai has always been indifferent. Although Baochai handles things smoothly, as the saying goes, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace", so Baochai must have something to do when he returns to the capital.
Seeing the greetings, Lin Qingyun asked when she got married.
Baochai smiled lightly and said: "When I returned to my hometown that year, my mother worried about my marriage. Later, my second aunt acted as a matchmaker and proposed my current husband's family, Liu's family. The Liu family's ancestors were also officials before, only from the previous generation. I fell into ruin, my family was poor, and only my mother-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law were struggling to survive. My uncle studied hard and passed the provincial examination a few years ago. Because he had no money to spend, he failed to take the exam. The uncle is our family's hope Fortunately, I have some dowry, so I rushed to Beijing before winter, took care of the house, installed appliances, and bought servants. I was so busy, but I almost forgot to tell everyone that I gave gifts during the new year, but I ran away myself Seems sincere."
After hearing this, Lin Qingyun understood that Baochai went to Beijing for the examination in the spring of next year.
Thinking that it is a blessing for Baochai to have a good marriage, Baochai has always hoped that her husband and wife will be prosperous, so she wanted to persuade Baoyu to study and improve her career, but Xue Pan was beheaded for committing a crime. In this way, when people get married, the marriage must be decided after a long time of searching.
In fact, things are not as simple as Baochai said.
Although the Liu family is poor, they have a good reputation. The grandparents are all scholars, and the uncle of the Liu family has been a smart scholar since he was a child.The uncle of the Liu family got married after being selected as a scholar, and he married the daughter of a mentor. The young couple was also loving, but his wife was infertile for several years. The mother of the Liu family inevitably said some nasty words, and as a result, Liu's wife was depressed and blind. The folk prescription for pregnancy, so much so that I mistakenly believed in Fang Langzhong, and after taking a dose of medicine, the person would be gone.
The uncle of the Liu family mourned the death of his wife, and even angered his old mother from the bottom of his heart, and refused to remarry for many years.This time Liu's mother talked about her younger sister's marriage. In order to get her dowry to marry, the Liu family's uncle finally got married because he thought that he was already 30 years old. After staying, someone burned paper for the ancestors on Qingming Festival.
After Baochai got married, Liu's mother treated her well, her sister-in-law was easy to get along with, and even the Liu family's uncle treated her with respect, and this year she had another son, and her husband would be going to high school next year, but Baochai felt bitter after all.She was also the eldest daughter of the eldest family of the Xue family of the four major families in Jinling. She grew up with a lot of gold and jade, and she had aspirations for success in her heart, but now she is married to a poor scholar, and the other party only has his dead wife in his heart.
In fact, it was only when Baochai realized that she could have gotten more, but when she was pregnant, and in order to show her virtuousness, she gave Yinger beside her to the uncle as a housemaid... At that time, the uncle looked at her very Strange, but after thinking about it, it should be surprise, disappointment, and finally calm.
At that time, he once said: "You are always so virtuous, that's all, my mother likes you because of your virtuousness."
