Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Dongping Mansion has a son-in-law Fengqiu Huang Prince Shoujia's first meeting with his son-in-law

But half a month later, the courtiers, matchmakers, and recommenders came several times.

There are those who have agreed to come together, you praise me, I praise you, your tongue is brilliant, I wish you could force Qianlong to make a decision immediately.

That's all, but someone happened to meet on the way, and the hatchback said, it's broken, but it's not the same person who was optimistic.This time, they came to the imperial study from the middle of the road, and the noisy people must distinguish between good and bad.

Qianlong changed the rules within a few days.

Wu Shu was sent to guard the door, and when anyone came, he called for silence.Before the ministers came back to their senses, they first handed over an album.

Turn the first page and write the name, family status, three generations of father and grandparents' official positions, mother's family status, etc., of a young talented man. There are five pages left, and some ministers' comments have been written on the first two pages.After these five pages, there is another young talent.

Before the ministers could speak, with a wave of Wu Shulai's hand, two young eunuchs brought tables and chairs, and two waiters brought the four treasures of the study.

After everything was arranged, Wu Shulai said with a smile: "The emperor has an order. No matter which one you want to recommend, you can find it from the album and write a comment. If you see anything wrong with the album, please Write it down. If there is no one in the album, please ask the adults to add it.”

"Boss Wu, what is the meaning of this...?"

Wu Shulai bowed his hands to the southwest respectfully, and said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to select a few good people from the people recommended by the adults, and then send someone to report to the Supreme Emperor. Long Live Lord is worried that the person who will spread the word will be as clumsy as you are." My lord, if it is not good, it is not beautiful. It is better to write it down by your lords, so that the Supreme Emperor can understand it!"

As soon as these words came out, the one who wanted to praise a few more words immediately stopped writing, and the one who hadn't started writing was thankful while carefully considering the words in his heart. He wanted to belittle a few words when he saw someone recommending it. I dare not do it anymore.Suddenly, everyone finished writing quickly and left quickly, not daring to delay any longer.

In October, Qianlong asked Wu Shulai to collect the booklet, and then copied it out neatly.Originally, it was supposed to be sent to Mount Wutai along with Yongzheng's birthday ceremony, but it was not easy for Qianlong to comment on it.

Today Qianlong was holding the transcribed booklet and looking at it, and saw that the manchu civil and military recommended either the second son of someone's family, or someone who had just entered the official career and had no family background.Can't help but sneer: "Fortunately, they still know that they can't write those concubines!"

Empress Qiaoer brought sweet soup, and said with a smile: "Bao Xuan is not worthy of these people! If Fu Heng hadn't married a year earlier, the concubine would have to beg for him!"

"Fu Heng?" Qianlong thought for a moment, "It's a good thing, why did I hear that his eldest son was born first? Baoxuan can see that he doesn't care about those messy concubines!"

Empress Fucha choked for a moment, and smiled vigorously, "Fu Heng was originally a concubine's younger brother, and the family favored them too, so the concubine's parents spoiled him!" Pointing to the album page, he said: " Let's not mention Fu Heng. The emperor has watched it for half a day, is he satisfied?"

"Satisfaction can't be mentioned. Do you know who gets the most comments here?"

"It must be a very fine young man!" replied the queen.

Qianlong couldn't help laughing: "Lin Heyu! You are so talented!"

"My lords recommend it, there must be some reasons. I have also heard that Lord Lin often meets Chun Min in the imperial study room by chance, and they have a very happy conversation. I am afraid it is destined!"

Qianlong frowned: "Where did the endless gossip come from! You have to take good care of this palace, don't let some villains gossip!"

The queen was startled, and hurriedly apologized and withdrew.

Seeing that Qianlong was deep in thought, Wu Shulai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please drink this sweet soup while it's hot. It should be cold later!"

Qianlong picked up the sweet soup, drank a few sips, then turned his head and asked, "Is there really someone in the palace telling the story of Baoxuan and Lin Heyu's 'happy talk'?"

Wu Shulai hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the servants and slaves who served in the imperial study and the Hall of Mental Cultivation have all beaten them. Maybe it was Mr. Lin who asked someone to see him on the way, and then he spread the word."

Qianlong snorted coldly, "I know, if not, I'm afraid there will be more than 'happy talk'!"

Wu Shulai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is so bold, why doesn't your majesty think highly of Mr. Lin?"

"Lin Heyu? The two of them have a 'happy talk' and Baoxuan is not willing to marry him. He said that in the future, he will have three wives and four concubines to enjoy the blessings of everyone!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and listened Wu Shulai: "Tell me, who has gone to intercede with you?"

"Your majesty is wise!" Wu Shulai bowed his head and said, "It's just that this man came so suddenly that this servant was also shocked. After hearing his request, I was moved for a long time, so I asked this question."

Qianlong waved his hand, "There is no need to say good things, which one is it?"

Wu Shu came to plead guilty, stepped forward and turned the pages of the album a few times, "Prince Dongping, Lei Fuzheng, is begging for his eldest son, Lei Kezhen."

"Eldest son? It's rare!" Qianlong looked at him. "Three years older than Baoxuan, he is considered a match... It's just that a man is unmarried at eighteen years, and he doesn't take concubines, which is rare!"

Wu Shulai hurriedly said: "Prince Dongping said that day, when the Xue family came to Beijing in the tenth year of Yongzheng, they lived in Prince Dongping's mansion. The Wanshou Festival was a busy day, and he didn't avoid it, so the son fell in love with the eldest princess and refused to marry anyone else. Let alone marrying wives and taking concubines, there is not even a housemaid!"

"Go and get the original booklet, I will write it down for him, and see what Huang Ama has to say."

At the end of November, the other side of Mount Wutai replied.

Yongzheng only asked someone to bring a sentence, and Lei Ke could consider it, the others are too bad!Especially Lin Heyu, since Xiao wants to be like everyone else, then go home and enjoy the blessings!

Qianlong couldn't laugh or cry, so he called Baoxuan, Xue Pan, and Hongzhou, and Lin Heyu came by himself.

After hearing Yongzheng's reply, everyone fell into deep thought.

Only Lin Heyu, with a sad face: "Who the hell hurt me! They even put my name on it!"

Qianlong laughed and said, "I'm afraid there are about twenty of them."

Hong Zhou patted the table: "What do you want to do so much! Next month is my birthday, so I will write a post for Lei Fuzheng and ask him to bring someone to show me!"

Qianlong knocked him on the head with a fan: "Nonsense! What's the use of watching! Remember to call Xue Tianxiang and Mrs. Xue to watch it together!"

"Okay! Let's put up another screen so that Bao Xuan can see it too!"

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the birthday of Heshuo and Prince Aixinjueluo Hongzhou.

Prince Dongping brought his son to the door early.First, I led Lei Kexi around the outside, and after seeing everyone who should be seen, a servant girl from the inner courtyard came to invite her, saying that Concubine Yugui wanted to see her relatives today, and now there are all elders inside, so it is just right to invite the eldest son to come inside to the hospital.

Concubine Yugui just came here by chance, and after hearing Hongzhou's plan, she said it was too careless.

The eldest son of Prince Dongping's family is eighteen, how can he enter the inner courtyard?

Therefore, on the one hand, they asked people to arrange for the younger Fujin and the wives to enter the house to avoid them, and on the other hand, they arranged for people to go outside to spread the word.As for relatives, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, and counting up from one generation to the next, who can tell whether they are relatives or not?

Concubine Yugui asked Mrs. Xue to sit beside her, accompanied by Prince Fujin.There were also Prince Lu Fujin, Prince Zhuang Fujin, Prince Shenjun Fujin, and Prince Jian Fujin sitting aside.

Because it was a birthday banquet, all the Fujins came in auspicious clothes.When Lei Ke entered the courtyard, he could only see azure-colored auspicious gowns, but it was Mrs. Xue, who was wearing a gown embroidered with embroidered flowers, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of Fujins embroidered with embroidered dragons.

Lake just glanced at it, then lowered his head, not daring to look any more, and saluted respectfully.

Concubine Yugui called out, and asked a few casual questions, nothing more than age, official position, preferences and so on.

When he heard that Lei Keyou was already a first-class imperial guard, he couldn't help laughing, "It's considered progress." Then he turned to Mrs. Xue and said, "I heard that Xue Pan of your family is also a third-class guard. As for my colleagues, I don’t know if I’ve seen them or not. Xue Pan should have achieved this in a few years.”

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said: "Pan'er is stupid, how can he compare with the son of the world."

Concubine Yugui asked Lei Ke to come over and take a closer look, and boasted: "You are so handsome!"

Lei Kechen looked unfazed by favor or humiliation, with such a certainty at such a young age, people couldn't help but think highly of him.It's just that Lei Keyou knows in his heart that it's really hard to be an official in this backyard with noble concubines and many Fujin.What's more, when he heard the phrase "beautiful and handsome", the corners of his mouth twitched, it really made people want to leave!

Only then turned around and said to Mrs. Xue: "He is indeed a good boy. He will be called into the palace another day for the Empress Dowager to take a look at, and the Empress Dowager will be happy to take care of her!"

When this word reached Qianlong, he and Baoxuan laughed for a long time.I don't know that Lake is happy to be looked at like this?

Concubine Yugui told the Queen Mother about the matter, but the Queen Mother was very angry.

At first it was Concubine Xi who wanted to accept Baoxuan as a righteous daughter.Later, he was robbed by Yongzheng, and after all it was under the name of Concubine Xi, otherwise it would not have been so smooth when Qianlong ascended the throne and Baoxuan had a princess named Jin and Princess Heshuo.

Now that Qianlong was worried about Baoxuan's marriage, he secretly "finalized" the candidate, and he didn't even know it.Immediately, Qianlong was called over, and he complained a lot.

Now regardless of the New Year's Eve, the Empress Dowager sent two nuns beside her to Dongping Palace to invite Lei Ke into the palace on the second day.

The two nuns are old people beside the queen mother, so the reason why the queen mother sent them here is naturally not hidden from them.

The old people in the palace all have a pair of piercing eyes, what can't be seen?Isn't it just to see if there is anyone in the Dongping Palace who will get in the way of the eldest princess!Who in the palace didn't know that the eldest princess was favored, so they went all out to see it.

Now that they knew their mission, the two nuns broke into Prince Dongping's mansion and secretly looked around in the mansion.While passing on the message, he also carefully watched the expressions of everyone.

As for what they said to the Queen Mother when they went back, there is no way of knowing.

Everyone only knew that the Empress Dowager loved Prince Dongping's son very much and rewarded him with many good things!
