old lady in red

This is all something later, not to mention.

Turning around, she said that Shi Mei had ordered Jia Zheng to ask for an order from the queen, but it turned out that there was no news about Jia Daishan's funeral.

It wasn't until Shimei stayed in the family temple for half a month, which coincided with Jia Daishan's Seventh Seventh Period, that the empress's imperial edict finally arrived.

The Queen Mother allowed Jia Mu to return to her hometown to observe filial piety, and asked the eunuch who passed the decree to pay homage in front of the spirit instead of her, and also presented Jia Mu fifty gold as Cheng Yi.

The queen ordered not to enter the court to thank you.

Shi Mei could only look north and kowtow.

The queen is the successor, the cousin of the first queen.Relying on the merits of her uncle's family, she also benefited from the last words of the late queen, and was welcomed into the palace by Emperor Jiahe as a puppet queen.

The purpose is to take care of the cousin's orphaned first prince.

Emperor Jiahe came here because he had a relationship with the former empress, secondly, he didn't want another prominent descendant to disturb him, and thirdly, he wanted to stabilize the former empress's natal family, so he went along with the flow and canonized her as the successor.

The Great Moon Dynasty relied on the meritorious deeds of military generals to conquer the country. It was the turn of Emperor Jiahe to rule the world, but he needed the support of noble civil servants.

Both the Great Moon Dynasty and Emperor Jiahe needed the support of Qingliu and the attachment of talents.

Marrying this queen means that the queen's natal family is the leader of Qingliu.

The queen's grandfather was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and he could directly image the intentions of a group of civil servants.

The ancestors of the Chen family had two top scholars and more than 70 Jinshi.Truly a leader in the stream.

Stabilizing the Chen family can be said to stabilize the Qingliu of civil servants in the entire old dynasty.

Entering the palace later will only occupy a seat, ensuring the crown prince's unique status as a legitimate son.

She has no favor for many years, has no children under her knees, and holds the phoenix seal in her hand, but the power in the harem is in the hands of Concubine Zhen.

This has become her magic weapon to save her life.

Emperor Jiahe still had some conscience for the prince's bad deeds, so he didn't take his anger out on him, so he had to continue to live in the palace.

Her identity is both enemy and friend with Rongfu.

Jia Daishan was in the prince's party during his lifetime.

However, when he was about to die, he destroyed the prince's conspiracy and cut off the prince's road to the emperor.

Afterwards, as the aunt of the deposed prince, she was able to spend fifty gold and allowed Jia's mother to return to her hometown, which showed that this woman was not as useless as the rumors outside, she had some insight and a heart.

Since Shi Mei had received the Queen's order, she ordered each house to send people back to pack up.

The next day after July [-]th, Shi Meite met with Jia Jing and his wife.

First, entrust Mrs. Zhang.

When Mrs. Zhang gives birth, Mrs. Wen can ask Jinfu to take care of her in advance.

However, Tai Hospital has some troubles here.

Rong Mansion leaves the capital, people leave the tea to cool down, and then pass the sign, it may not be so easy.

The Ning Mansion is different, Jia Jing has nothing to do with the abolishment of the crown prince, he is still a warm-hearted former Jinshi.

Secondly, Shi Mei hoped that Jia Jing could help Jia Zheng to delineate some books that would help the imperial examinations based on Jia Zheng's level.In addition, Jia Jing also had contacts with famous Confucians in Jinling. Shi Mei hoped that Jia Jing could recommend a famous Confucian for Jia Zheng to give pointers to articles.

When Jia Jing heard what his aunt said, his heart was agitated: "Aunt really wants my second brother to take the imperial examination?"

Shi Mei nodded: "Yes, both She'er and Zheng'er will participate. She'er participates in the martial arts exam. In this regard, our family has relatives and friends, and we also know the martial arts skills. Your uncle has served as a martial arts examiner.

The embarrassing thing is Zheng'er. He didn't like to wield knives and guns since he was a child, and I have thought about it. The legacy of the ancestors can only be inherited by you and brother Jia She. In today's peaceful and prosperous world, there is no room for generals. Meritorious people want to gain a foothold The court must be transformed to be successful.

In this regard, nephew, you have set an example.

Auntie hopes that you will not hesitate to teach me. In the future, Zheng'er will pass the exam, and your brothers will also be a help in the court, right! "

Jia Jing hurriedly got up and bowed: "Auntie's knowledge and strategy are admirable! Auntie is at ease, my nephew will definitely not accept what auntie entrusts."

Suddenly, Shi Mei thought of Jia Jing's act of abandoning his official position and retiring from the world.

Although Shi Mei didn't know when and why he escaped from the world.

However, Shi Mei felt that if the Rongning and Ning families had Jia Jing in the court, and Jia Jing was suppressing them at home, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong would not dare to be so unscrupulous.

In this way, I am afraid that the subsequent crushing defeat will not happen.

Shi Mei calculated silently in her heart, according to the opening of the Red Chamber, Jia Lian was 20 years old, Jia Rong was [-] years old, the difference was only four years old, Jia Lian was already two years old this year, Jia Zhen was afraid that she would discuss marriage next year.

I don't know who Jia Zhen was going to marry. Perhaps this daughter-in-law is not only weak in body, but also cowardly in character.

Otherwise, Jia Zhen wouldn't be so presumptuous, and Jia Rong wouldn't grow up like that.

Shi Mei pointed out something, and asked Yang Shi: "Speaking of which, it's time for Zhen'er to discuss marriage. I'm afraid it will be too troublesome for Zhang Shi to stay in the capital?"

Yang quickly said: "Auntie, what are you talking about, the family is of flesh and blood, what trouble is it?

It was my aunt who mentioned Zhen'er, and my nephew and daughter-in-law were about to ask my aunt for advice.At the beginning of the year, someone came to propose marriage, and my aunt knew that Zhen'er was sixteen, and it was time to discuss marriage, but I was very hesitant in my heart. "

Shi Mei asked: "What's so embarrassing about this, Ning's family status, Zhen'er's talent, and Jing'er's reputation are all very few in this capital. You can choose a good wife? Are you willing to come to the door?"

Jia Jing's face sank at this moment.

Mrs. Yang was a little embarrassed, coughed, and then said: "The ones who come to propose marriage are all first-class good girls, and the family members are all worthy, but there are some twists and turns in the process, nephew and daughter-in-law are really difficult. I don’t know how to make a decision!”

Upon hearing this, Shi Mei hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Zhen'er has her own crush on someone?"

There was anger on Jia Jing's face, he snorted, he hesitated to speak, and did not speak in the end.

Yang's face was embarrassing: "It's not true, but it is like this. Speaking of this, my nephew and daughter-in-law are very embarrassed. My aunt knows that my natal cousin married in Suzhou and died within two years. My daughter has no one to rely on. My grandmother took pity on her and took her by her side to raise her. A few days ago, my cousin let go of his job, and my grandmother and aunt stayed in Kyoto. This girl is fifteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. After my cousin left, my grandmother and aunt inevitably came and went more frequently with my family. The two children also met each other and got along well. My grandmother proposed to make a kiss, and wanted to make Qing'er and Zhen'er a pair..."

Shi Mei immediately understood that this woman was probably Jia Rong's mother.

Shi Mei glanced at Jia Jing: "Nephew disagrees?"

Jia Jing waved his hand: "That's not true!"

Yang said: "It's not that the master doesn't look down on my natal family, but it's just that I made a verbal agreement with General Yu's family to marry their second lady..."

As a result, this Yang Qing'er has no advantage other than Yang's pity.

Such a poor life experience makes people look sideways.

However, Shi Mei is even more worried about the future of Rongning and Ningfu.

"Is cousin Ling the niece's daughter-in-law's first cousin?"

Yang Shi nodded: "Exactly, otherwise I wouldn't make such a difficult situation."

Shi Mei said: "My niece, do you know that the Shi family also has a niece who is about the same age as Xi'er Zheng'er? The Shi family has a noble family, and is in the same family as the Rong family. Do you know why I don't marry their natal niece for their brothers?"

Yang knew that Shi Mei's words must mean something: "Could it be that there is something particular about it?"

Shi Mei looked at Jia Jing: "Jing'er has been to the grasslands, but have you ever heard that there is a rule among grassland herdsmen that horses from a litter cannot be bred with each other?"

Jia Jing coughed: "My nephew followed his uncle to practice at that time, and most of them stayed in the military camp, and rarely had contact with the herdsmen. Auntie's words mean that there is something hidden in this?"

Shi Mei nodded: "This matter is actually a secret military secret of the grassland tribes. I also heard your uncle mention it by chance, saying that the Tartars had sinister intentions and used inbred horses to pretend to be stallions in order to drag down our army. Cavalry Battalion and Supply Battalion.

Out of curiosity, I inquired carefully, only then did I know that after thousands of years of experience and lessons, grassland herdsmen have summed up an experience, that is, inbreeding horses not only have a high mortality rate, but the surviving horses are similar to those of other herds. The quality of offspring bred by horses is far from that of wild horses.

The herdsmen call these dwarf horses 'Zhuanwozi'.Since then, it has become an unwritten rule that it is strictly forbidden for inbreeding horses to breed offspring.

Some tribal leaders in the prairie, in order to grow the tribe and obtain a thousand-mile horse that can conquer and fight well, it can be said that they have painstakingly taken great pains. They will go to the Wild Horse Valley every year to catch wild horses, and they will not hesitate to die for this. "
