The Son-in-law of the Red Chamber

It is said that because of his mother's unreliability and calculations, Luo Chenyue finally decided to make a future for his daughter.

Now that his mother has blocked the possibility of adopting his elder brother's child, Luo Chenyue simply stopped thinking about what he had and what he didn't have, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to picking a son-in-law for his own girl. After giving birth to a child, he could inherit Luo's second wife incense.

Of course, I was also afraid that I would find someone who was foolish and deceitful, so I am sure that my son-in-law's future will not be like that of his elder brother. If he ascends to a high position, the most he can do is to be a petty official, and he is not afraid of being bullied. , but it won't be so strong that it will turn against the Luo family.

How to grasp the degree of this is not an easy task.

Luo Chenyu really spent a lot of thought before he decided on this one, but he still felt a little unsure, so he wanted to let his three elder brothers hold his eyes for him, so as to save him something. In case, it will be my own daughter who will be cheated by then.

Luo Chenyu thought that if he could avoid this possibility as much as possible, then it would be the best.

But this kind of thing is basically a gamble, and there is no foolproof method. He can only do his best and obey the destiny.

Luo Chenyi doesn't express any opinion on this kind of matter at all, brothers Luo Chenxun naturally won't, as long as he thinks it's okay, other people will naturally not have any big opinions.

Luo Chenyu made a marriage arrangement for his daughter, and the matter is a foregone conclusion. Without mentioning others, Princess Qingli just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he only has such a precious daughter, and she doesn't have to marry out to suffer. It's pretty good.

Luo Chenyi didn't want to deal with the matter of the second room, he had nothing to do with him, if his niece and daughter got married, it was enough for the Lin family to send a gift.

Gu Ziyan and Luo Wanhui also made a marriage arrangement for Gu Yun. Luo Chenyi naturally cared more about his niece's lifelong events than his niece, and prepared a generous amount of make-up for her.

Half a year later, the Feng family married Gu Yun. After their daughter got married, Luo Wanhui became ill for a while. She really couldn't accept her daughter leaving her.

But this life still has to go on. In the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao is also chatting with the Crown Princess and Luo Wanyu about the marriages of several children. Mingyu and Mingying are the same age, but there are really not many outstanding children in this honorable family , so for the sake of caution, now is the time to worry about it.

It is not easy to be a princess of the royal family. Fortunately, due to the strength of the country these years, the barbarians are obedient, so there is no need for the princess to marry out of relatives.

But in the end, it is still difficult to be a royal princess, and she needs to win over important officials for the emperor and get closer.

As for what kind of a scam this man is, no one can guarantee it.

This is an era of fighting for fathers. As long as there is a capable father, even if the son is a dandy and unmotivated, he can still marry the princess and become a son-in-law.

Moreover, there are quite a few families who specifically choose princesses for their own prodigal sons. After all, marrying a princess and becoming a son-in-law can win a title for nothing, and they can live a lifetime of wealth for nothing. As for whether the princess is willing, who will care about their thoughts?

It's okay if she's favored, but those little transparents are tortured to death by her husband's family after they get married, and the royal family may not necessarily stand up for her.

Fortunately, the Mingyu sisters did not have this trouble. Mingyu was the treasure in the palm of the great grandmother, and Mingying was the heart of the imperial grandfather, so they would not have this trouble.

Empress Dowager Zhao is very satisfied with the filial and well-behaved Mingyu. She feels that she must find a progressive son for Mingyu, even if he is from a humble family, but one must be decent and progressive. As the emperor's wife, Queen Zhao has had enough of being a wife It's hard work, so I'm not very willing to marry Mingyu into a high-ranking family. A small family has a good son from a small family. Even a royal princess may not have a good life in a high-ranking family.

Empress Dowager Zhao chatted with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law about the marriages of several children. As she got older, her heart naturally softened a lot, and she was no longer as indifferent as before. Thinking about her useless natal family, Empress Dowager Zhao has softened her heart after all.

What's more, the current Zhao family has fallen to the ground, and it is also because of the dislike and dislike of the royal family, so Cheng'en Gong's mansion is basically living with its tail between its legs. Because my nephew and grandson are indeed good, a good match for Mingyu; another one, pull out my natal family.

After all, it is also the mother's family that gave birth to him for more than ten years, and it is where his blood relatives are.

But this matter has to be discussed with his son to stay. If he still doesn't like the Zhao family as always, the queen mother may reconsider. If the emperor gives her some face for this old man, then the matter is probably settled like this up.

Mingyu was quite aware of the Queen Mother's hints, and to be honest, she didn't dislike this slightly biased arrangement, even if the Queen Mother did have some selfish intentions, but Mingyu didn't hate it either.

Mingyu has always been a child with her own opinions. Since she has neither objection nor dislike, the emperor doesn't feel embarrassed at all about his granddaughter marrying into the Zhao family. When the queen mother got her wish, Mingyu's marriage was also settled. up.

Because of the empress dowager, the emperor made an exception for Mingyu as a princess. According to the rules, she is a concubine, so she is not qualified to do so. However, considering that the Zhao family is the emperor's mother's family and a descendant family, everyone naturally is understandable.

The newly released title of Princess Wenxian disgusted the Crown Princess and her niece to death, and she deserved the same treatment as a concubine, just because she was born in a concubine?

Worthy or not, this kind of matter is not decided by the Crown Princess and her daughter, so apart from a few sarcastic remarks, there is nothing the mother and daughter can do.

In the past few years, the crown princess has been pulling the eldest son, and she has basically become enemies with Mingyu's siblings. Therefore, Mingyu can completely ignore the words and deeds of her aunt and sister.

In fact, it's not that there is no way to teach them a lesson, it's just that Mingyu has a gentle temper and doesn't bother to argue with these people, so she often turns a blind eye and lets it pass.

Mingyu's dowry was so rich that it made the Crown Princess and Mingyu's sister-in-law jealous. It was prepared by the Royal Household Office, Luo Wanyu, the mother, and the queen mother, the empress's rewards and makeup, plus extras from outside the palace. The Luo family, the Lin family, and the Gu family's dowry dazzled everyone's eyes with the dowry of Taiwan 190. Apart from their bitter words, they were helpless.

Because of the queen mother's selfishness, Mingyu married into the Zhao family instead of Princess Shang, the eldest son of the Zhao family. But even so, the queen mother decided to build a princess mansion for Mingyu, so that she could have a way out.

Although she was soft-hearted, that's why she wanted to pull the Zhao family, but she didn't want the little girl who grew up in front of her to be wronged, so she made such an awkward arrangement.

Mingyu, who knew her great-grandmother, was naturally very moved. Although she looked lenient, she actually had all the temperaments that royal people should have, so it's not bad if she doesn't bully others, let alone the Zhao family bullying herself. If it's my husband, that doesn't work either.

Having seen enough of the mutual respect and hatred between her parents, Mingyu actually doesn't have much expectation for her marriage, she just finds someone to live with, has a child, and regards the child as her career and support for the rest of her life. Mingyu's pursuit is to spend her life quietly and leisurely, just like her mother did.

But when he saw this young man who was blushing and at a loss after just a few words to himself, Mingyu was amused and at the same time felt a little bit of anticipation, maybe he shouldn't give up so early, it's okay to try.

Back to the door, Mingyu's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, even her smile was a bit different. Luo Wanyu is someone who has been there, so she naturally knows that her daughter is doing well, so she temporarily let go of her worries.

Now, there are Mingrui and Mingying. Once Mingying gets married, she can rest assured.

While Luo Wanyu was rejoicing, she was also filled with sadness. The children grew up, and so did she. The children had a home and a life of their own. What about her?I'm at a loss, I really don't know what to do with myself?

While being satisfied, it seemed that he was left with nothing to do for the rest of his life.

Mingrui stayed with his nerdy brother-in-law for a while, and threatened and warned him severely, telling him not to let his sister down, otherwise...

Even though Mingrui didn't say what the consequences would be, his nerdy brother-in-law agreed seriously. The princess descended, and he was the one who favored her, so how dare she be wronged.

Moreover, the entire Zhao family probably knew about it, because the royal family had not waited to see each other for many years, and the Zhao family lived in trepidation all these years. Now that Mingyu is married, who would dare to show their teeth at her? It's good to offer it up.

Although he felt a little awkward in his heart, after all, he was a young man, afraid of his wife, fear of guilt, these are not good words, but in the end, thinking about the gentle and timid princess, the nerd felt pity in his heart.

No matter how noble she was before, she was a royal princess, but she will be his wife and the mother of his children in the future, so he will live a happy life with the princess.

Hearing her son-in-law's assurance, Luo Wanyu's eyes were red, but she was also grateful in her heart. After all, it was the Queen Mother, an old man, and Mingyu had chosen the right person for this collision marriage.

After Mingyu got married, it was Mingrui's turn.

But no matter whether it is the prince or the concubine, he can't get involved in this matter. The emperor said that he has his own arrangements for the marriage of Mingrui and Mingying, and the prince doesn't care at all. Luo Wanyu is secretly worried, but in the end there is no way to rush, So I can only secretly worry.

Mingrui is a boy, so it's okay to be a few years later, but what about Mingying?

She is not young anymore, the flowering period of her daughter's family is only a few years, if...

But what Luo Wanyu didn't know was that Mingying asked for this.

Marrying at the age of 16, she felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought about it, so she begged her grandpa not to marry early, it would be best if she could wait until she was 20, if not, this was her bottom line.

Although I don't know what Mingying is insisting on, since she doesn't want to marry early, the emperor will naturally not force her.

So Mingying got her wish. During this period of time, she also discovered that the concubine mother is prone to distraction and melancholy. After thinking about it, she can roughly understand the concubine mother's thoughts. Mingying can only be with her more besides distressed. She's gone, talk to her about new things.

"Mother and concubine, my cousin is pregnant, so my uncle is taking her back to Beijing."

Mingying thought about the news she had received in front of the imperial court, and said excitedly to her mother and concubine.

"You'an has a body and is coming back?"

Luo Wanyu was really happy, she grabbed her daughter's hand and asked.

"Isn't that right? My uncle passed a letter to my grandfather, saying that my cousin is pregnant. They plan to return to Beijing slowly, just in time to return to the capital before my cousin gives birth."

Thinking about the relationship between them, the chaos was simply a headache, so in private, Luo Wanyu and her daughter continued the old habits.

"This is really a good thing. I'm afraid my brother will be very happy. His favorite is your cousin. Now that she has a body, your uncle must be the one he likes the most."

Mingying is not at all surprised that her mother and concubine are her uncle's brainless fan. A traveler like uncle, let alone a native of the mother and concubine, is herself. Let her feel the charm of her uncle, so Mingying's perception of her uncle is also very good.

"Yes, my uncle is going to be a grandfather at a young age, he must be very happy..."

For some reason, Mingying smiled viciously, and said to her mother and concubine.

Luo Chenyi who received the letter was really in a complicated mood, his daughter is only about to turn twenty, so she is going to be a mother?

It has to be said that Luo Chenyi's mood is complicated. Of course, on the other hand, he is also worried. After all, it is not easy for a woman to give birth. Now he is not worried about his wife, but he has to worry about his daughter.

As for Daiyu, even though she was also worried, she was more happy.

She was afraid that her daughter would follow her, and it would be difficult for her to have an heir, but she didn't expect her daughter to be pregnant.

Daiyu prepared big and small bags, thought about all kinds of taboos at home, and copied a copy herself, intending to have someone give it to her daughter.

Of course, there are also imperial physicians, midwives, nurses, etc., who should also prepare early. It must be the eve of the delivery when the girl returns to Beijing, so there must be some confusion, so Daiyu is also busy preparing for this, preparing That one, completely left everyone else behind.

For example, my own husband!

If everyone in the Lin family is happy, Shi Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, is the only one who forced a smile on her face. She has been in the house for so many years, but until now there has been no good news.

Even though her mother-in-law and her husband didn't say anything, and even personally explained to herself, she couldn't stop Shi Shi from thinking too much.

Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, looking at her up and down happy face, her heart is sour and at the same time she can't help being wronged.

Why?

It's my aunt's turn to do all good things?

It's fine to have a good background, and reincarnation is not something anyone can do, but why is her life so good?

She is married well, and her belly is up to snuff, how can she not make people jealous?

Such jealousy is a bad thing.

Shi's miscarriage, the reason is very simple, it is because of her own jealousy, looking at his wife as pale as a ghost, You Ning felt uncomfortable, her own child, her own flesh and blood, did not even have the chance to enter this world , just like that.

"Don't be sad, take good care of yourself, we are still young, there will always be children."

You Ning held the hand of his daughter-in-law and comforted him softly.

"Husband, it's my fault, this is retribution!"

Shi Shi looked at her husband with handsome features and eyes, and felt miserable, tears flowed down like water, and couldn't stop falling.

"What nonsense, it's just an accident, what nonsense is retribution, we didn't do anything harmful, murder and set fire, stop thinking about it, have a good rest, take medicine obediently, get well soon, don't let your wife worry, Don't let father-in-law and mother-in-law worry about it, okay?"

Although Youning knew that his wife was a little narrow-minded, she was just a little girl after all, so he comforted her with a bit of tolerance.

"Okay, I see, I miss my mother..."

Although she was full of words in her heart, she seemed to have a lot of things to say, but after all, she is no longer a silly girl who just married into the Lin family. She has learned a lot and knows what to say and what not to say, so she That's all I can say.

While loathing himself, Shi Shi also hated his eldest sister-in-law. This kind of anger is completely unreasonable.

Lin Youan lies innocently, but she really doesn't care about these things now. Pregnancy is simply the most tortured thing in the world.

King Qinghe, who couldn't eat anything and would vomit when drinking water, and his party managed to stop in Gusu because You'an's situation was so bad.

You'an, who was tough on this trip, is now so weak that he frightened the husband of King Qinghe, even the accompanying guards and cooks were also frightened.

After all, they also saw the toughness of the concubine, but they didn't expect that the concubine who broke the little highness turned out to be like this, it was really unexpected.

Naturally, the old house in Gusu sent a letter back early, but King Qinghe still felt a little disgusted by the rudimentary conditions here.

It's just for the sake of what You'an can eat and sleep comfortably here, so he can make do with it.

Lying in her mother's former boudoir, I don't know if it's in her heart, You'an only feels that her whole body has calmed down, without the worries and fears before. Although the physical reaction is still there, but because of her good mood, her The situation gradually stabilized.

Half a month later, the Lin family in Beijing rushed to the old house in Gusu. They used familiar things and ate familiar tastes. Youan burst into tears. Although she had fun for more than a year, she still missed her parents and family. of.

You'an never concealed her fragility in front of her husband. After crying heartily under the worried eyes of her husband, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

Seeing such a willful wife, King Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help feeling a little bit envious. He envied the harmony of the Yue family, and envied this kind of caring behavior among relatives.

The situation of You An who was raised in Gusu is getting better day by day, eating well and sleeping well, and You An's complexion is also getting rosier day by day, which finally reassures everyone a lot.

If the situation in Gusu is still relatively easy, it is different in Beijing.

The prince has a rare excitement these few days. Everything he planned, everything he planned for many years, is really about to become a reality!

How could this not excite him?

The prince felt excited when he thought about it.

The position that everyone is looking at, I am about to become the one who stands tall.

Over the years, his father's attitude towards him has become more and more perfunctory, even indulgent. The prince is not really stupid, so he can naturally feel it. In addition, he discovered a terrible fact. But Mingrui didn't get too much training, just like the eldest son, he received the teachings of the great Confucians of the Imperial Academy.

And Mingrui was even more miserable than before.

He was somewhat complacent when he discovered this at first, after all Mingrui is not his beloved son, he is not at all like letting Mingrui take over the throne, anyway, as long as the father doesn't bypass him and directly pass the throne to Mingrui, it will be fine.

But after all, there are still capable people around the prince, and there are many people who can understand the sincerity, so one or two people say the same thing. How easy is it for the prince who is guilty, guilty, and resentful to go to extremes? thing?

The position of the Jingying Jiedushi is no longer Luo's cousin, but his own Yue's family. Could the crown prince not be happy?

Obviously, this is really the right time, place and people!

The only bad thing is that the Crown Princess has no children. He once thought about adopting a bastard son for the Crown Princess to raise, but unfortunately, no one agreed with the Crown Prince's decision. Since everyone opposed it, he also thought about being a son-in-law. Dream, so temporarily put this matter on hold.

But that's the case, the prince also showed a very deep love between husband and wife, and spent more than half a month resting in the courtyard of the concubine. One or two days, one or two days in the study room, the rest are those young and beautiful low-ranking women, both rain and dew, the prince only has two sons and three daughters, and the heirs will be too thin. As an heir, this can be regarded as a small shortcoming.

But no matter how hard he tried, after all these years, there were so many women in the backyard without any movement. He must be fine, and that was the woman's problem.

Therefore, there are basically one or two newcomers in the backyard of the prince every month. After so many years, the East Palace is almost unable to accommodate. The princess racked her brains to arrange these women. It's not that there are no rooms, anyway, the prince will not step in here, so those women can only die of old age like withered flowers.

The prince is kind to the princess, so her natal family can only support the prince more vigorously, but the father of the princess has a heavy heart, turning around and selling the prince every day, it is not a day or two, a year or two up.

Before, he thought it was because His Majesty valued the prince highly, but after all these years, is he really stupid to stick to his original opinion?

Think about the daughter who is suffering in the palace, think about the son who is loyal to the prince and advises the prince, he is heartbroken and powerless at the same time.

When Luo Chenyi met the prince's father-in-law in the teahouse, looking at his hunched body, gray hair, and trembling appearance, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of gloating in his heart, but felt extremely heavy, and something hurt his kind. .

"Boss, what is this?"

For some reason, Luo Chenyi thought of his uncle many years ago, and with more understanding and sympathy for him, he slowed down his voice and asked.

"Consort Jingxiao, thank you for taking the time to attend this old man's appointment."

The old man is quite old, and after making the final decision, he himself has relaxed a lot. His requirements are not high, he just wants to preserve the blood for the family. I feel sorry, but I can't worry about this little grandson.

But what the crown prince is planning is to punish the crimes of the nine clans, so no matter whether he wins or loses, as the Yue family, he will not be able to please himself, let alone the crown prince has no chance of winning.

But he could ask for help, and there were not many people who could help, so the boss locked his eyes on Jingxiao Prince Consort.

He is highly valued by the emperor, but not liked by the prince, so maybe he can help him?

Although I feel that this possibility is unlikely, but in the end the boss still has a faint hope to make an appointment with Jingxiao's son-in-law.

Luo Chenyi was a little surprised before, but after thinking about it, he still went to the appointment.

Although the attitude of the boss is very low, Luo Chenyi still has no way to directly agree to this kind of thing, so he can only say that he is thinking about it.

Although the boss was a little disappointed, he didn't refuse outright, so he went home with a faint hope.

Luo Chenyi looked at the old man's trembling figure, sighed, and went home.

This incident seemed to have never happened, neither Luo Chenyi nor the boss mentioned it.

The prince's excitement was accompanied by a wave of madness, and he intensified his contacts with various places. Naturally, the emperor was not idle, and the fight between father and son was simply wonderful. Even Mingrui seemed to feel the sense of crisis that was about to come. I found a chance to chat with Luo Chenyi, the uncle, a few times, but unfortunately, he didn't get any useful news from Luo Chenyi.

Luo Chenyi just comforted him, there was nothing to do, Mingrui only needed to do his job well.

Mingrui was dissatisfied with his perfunctory, and wanted to put on airs and slap him a few words, but after thinking about his mother and concubine's advice, he finally endured it forcefully.

But in the end, my heart was still not happy.

But even if it is not fun, Mingrui seems to be able to hold back.

Naturally, Luo Chenyi would not speak out about this kind of thing, as if he was too shrewd to do it. This is not a good thing for the emperor, so Luo Chenyi can only pretend not to know.

Here, the emperor and prince stepped up the plan at hand. The King Qinghe and his wife in Gusu finally started to return to Beijing after Lin Youan's health improved.

The water route is a bit bumpy, but the speed is fast, and the land route is probably slower.

After arriving in the capital, the wife's belly was just eight months old, and there was no great danger. After two months of recuperation, she was able to give birth in the capital.
