Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

The newlyweds are over, when I return home.

Returning to the door is the last step in the marriage, and the marriage can only be officially concluded after returning to the door.However, it was not Prince Rui's Mansion that returned, but the Imperial Palace.Even if Princess Changning is no longer valued by the emperor, and she is not even in the palace, but as a princess, no one can question her bloodline and identity.

After meeting the emperor, the emperor encouraged them for the sake of Jiang Yuan, a second-rank official, and then sent them to visit Concubine Shu.In the relatively open dynasty of the Jing Dynasty, it was still allowed for male relatives to visit concubines in the harem, but Jiang Yuan never had the opportunity to meet Concubine Jiang Shu.

Coming to the palace, Yuehua was very quiet all the way, or very silent, Jiang Yuan understood her thoughts, if he also grew up in such a place, he probably would be like this.After Jiang Yuan left that small mountain village, he didn't intend to go back to take another look until he died. The pain that went deep into the bone marrow had too much impact on a child.

Entering Concubine Jiang Shu's palace, Jiang Yuan couldn't help frowning, it can't be said that this place is simple, but for an imperial concubine, it's really not bad, this is after Prince Rui has power, what if he doesn't have power?

Prince Rui was very filial to Concubine Shu, Jiang Yuan saw a lot of objects that Prince Rui got during the San Francisco rebellion around the main hall, but except for the things he had an impression of, the rest could only be considered crude.

It is not necessarily beggars who live miserable lives in this world. Those nobles who wear gold and silver may only eat cold rice and porridge behind them. In this palace, there are many ways to make you suffer unspeakably.People here think that nobles live in the palace every day, wearing silk and satin, eating dragon liver and phoenix brain, who knows that this is the most cannibalous place in the world?

Jiang Yuan took Yuehua and respectfully saluted Concubine Shu. Concubine Jiang Shu quickly helped her daughter and son-in-law up, grabbed Jiang Yuan's sleeve and looked at his face. After a while, she shed a line of tears and said: " Like, it's too similar, your eyes look too much like your mother's, but everything else looks like your uncle."

Jiang Yuan bowed down again and saluted, "Mother wanted to see her family again when she was leaving, and now she has finally fulfilled her wish."

"Good boy, good boy." Concubine Shu wiped her tears, and hurriedly said: "Today is a happy day, you can't cry, you have to smile."

Jiang Yuan smiled and sat down with Yuehua.

This time on the door day, the hostess was supposed to entertain the son-in-law, and the hostess took her daughter to talk, but Concubine Jiang Shu knew that her daughter had a very happy life these days, but it was the nephew she saw for the first time that made her unable to bear it. Live and talk.

Although she also heard her son talk about Jiang Yuan when she was young, and seeing her nephew, Concubine Shu couldn't help asking again and again, even if her son said that Jiang Yuan was born with supernatural powers and martial arts, but a four-year-old child suddenly lost Parents, rely on firewood for a living, she can't think of such a scene anyway.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't talk about mother and concubine, it's my teacher. Mr. Shen, the head of Jingliu Academy, was shocked when he saw me for the first time. He never thought that I could carry such a huge amount of weight with my size. It was a heavy load of firewood, and I kept asking where my lord went, and I didn’t believe that I came to sell the firewood by myself.”

The first time Yuehua heard about this, she couldn't help holding Jiang Yuan's hand, and Jiang Yuan shook her little hand quietly, which made her feel relieved.

Concubine Shu sighed, and said: "I really have to thank this Mr. Shen, otherwise, I don't know when you will be able to get the honor, and I don't know if you will meet Sheng'er."

Jiang Yuanlian claimed that it was true. He also thought about his teacher, Old Man Zhang, and Aunt Zhang as they got older. He wanted to bring them to live in the capital. Aunt Zhang was also reluctant to leave the academy, so he could only take time to visit the three of them.

Concubine Shu said: "In a person's life, it is hard to say that it is bitter, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult. The world suffers the most, but it can always be rewarded. At the beginning, I brought Sheng'er and Yuehua together in this hall. The most low-ranking rough envoys and court ladies also refused to pay attention to us. In winter, such a big house only needs a brazier to keep warm, and all the leftovers are sent. It can be eaten after warming up slowly on the brazier. At that time, both Sheng'er and Yuehua had chilblains, but they couldn't even get the ointment, so they could only bear it. The master in the study clearly saw that Sheng'er's hands were covered with chilblains, It wasn't because of his trembling hands that he punished him severely. At that time, Wang Shun Wang Lian and Wang Fei took Sheng'er to play, but they fell ill, and Sheng'er almost couldn't keep his hand. The emperor didn't punish them, but let Sheng'er kneel in the snow. In the field, he almost froze to death. I took care of Sheng'er who had a high fever, but Yuehua was tricked out and pushed into the dry well. If it wasn't for Yuehua's fate, I'm afraid I would lose this daughter. "

"After Sheng'er grew up, I was frightened whenever I was called on an errand. I was afraid that something would happen to him. If I hadn't met Qingyuan on the mountain in the household department, I'm afraid... now it's all over, Sheng'er got his wish, Yuehua I'm also married, so I'm going to be extremely peaceful..."

It was the first time Jiang Yuan knew about Yuehua falling into the dry well, and squeezed her hand, Yuehua turned to look at him, smiled and squeezed his hand back, as if to say, I didn't tell you it was mine, But you didn't tell me, even if it's evened, okay?

He pinched his little wife again, Jiang Yuan scratched her palm, forget it, never allow it in the future.

Seeing the little actions of her daughter and son-in-law, Concubine Jiang Shu smiled even more satisfied.She took out the medicinal jade from her purse, and handed it to Yuehua, "My good boy, I will leave this to you. I just hope that you and your husband will be of the same heart, and you can bear and get through the riches and hardships together."

Yuehua took the medicine jade with both hands and put it close to her body, saying "yes".

The sky was dark, and finally we had to leave.Concubine Jiang Shu sent them outside the hall before watching them leave.After walking a long distance, Jiang Yuan looked back and saw Concubine Jiang Shu still standing at the door, looking at them from a distance, and beckoning to him when he saw him turning around. A burst of sadness, if his mother is still alive at this time, will she treat him like this?

The princess' wedding shocked the whole world.I thought that Princess Changning was not taken seriously, and they were all waiting to see a joke, but in the end, everyone was startled by the dowry from Guanyinghou's mansion.

Jiang Yuan's betrothal gift was a long queue, the first one had already reached Prince Rui's mansion, and the ones behind had not left Guanyinghou's mansion. The items on the betrothal gift were either paintings and calligraphy from the previous dynasty or jade jewelry. The spectators were blinded, and they didn’t put too much money in silk, satin and cloth. On the bright side of this set of betrothal gifts, there were only a few 10 taels on the bright side, but those onlookers didn’t know that it was just a gift money. Jiang Yuan sent 20 taels, but he thought it was taking up space, so he changed it into a bank note.If it wasn't for the fact that Jingchao's betrothal gift wasn't good enough to give to the Grange shop, he wouldn't even give money, wouldn't it be better to give this.

When Situ Sheng saw the list of betrothal gifts, he was annoyed. This cousin moved half of the warehouse of the Hou Mansion out to make the betrothal gifts.Could he not know those things?They were all good things that they got when the San Francisco rebelled, and gold and silver were the easiest to get among them, and which ones were taken out were not offered as family heirlooms.But even so, if he didn't value Jiang Yuan the most, he wouldn't want to marry his precious sister no matter how many dowry gifts he had!

Now that the dowry was received, the day when the dowry was posted shocked the entire capital.In addition to the dowry that was routinely prepared in the palace, Situ Sheng sent back the dowry from the Hou Mansion intact as a dowry, and added a lot of real things, whether it was a farm or a shop, the contract was enough to fill a box, The two-foot-tall red coral, the east bead and the south bead the size of a longan... just the boxes of gems and jewelry of various colors are enough to calm the crowd of onlookers.

Princess Changning is not taken seriously?Are you kidding me, the man who is not valued can give so many dowries, and the dowry can produce so many things?The 120 sets of dowry, even the box is specially made, which is the size of several other houses, just to be able to add more things, so that many good things do not fall out.As far as these dowries are concerned, quite a few princes and their families have sold them and they still can’t make up half of them. They only see others jealous and think why they didn’t ask the emperor to marry them. .

Jia's mother was also sighing, her pearl was about the same age as Princess Changning, if it wasn't for the family's filial piety, it would be a good match for a princess.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips. Mrs. Wang has set up the rules for Jia Mu for so many years, so that the daughter-in-law will be able to have a daughter-in-law to serve her in the future. If they marry a princess, who will serve whom?

Only Mrs. Xing stood aside and sneered in her heart, marrying the princess?That Jia Zhu is just a boy with no fame, who has been a student of the Imperial College, and his father is a white man who has not yet held an official position. In this Rongguo Mansion, relying on Jia's mother to support him, he can be a little bit proud. After leaving Rongguo Mansion, who really takes him seriously?That Jiang Yuan, in terms of status, is the honor of the Marquis of Guanying. In fact, he was awarded the commander-in-chief and the left servant of the military department. All wins.In terms of closeness, he is Prince Rui's cousin and Princess Changning's cousin, so it's best to be more close.In terms of money, he can afford the 10 taels of dowry, and there is a house of more than [-] mu at home. There are many farm shops outside, and he doesn't know how much income he makes in a year!How do these Jiazhu compare?Not to mention Jia Zhu, even Jia Lian, who can conquer the title, is not worthy of opening such a mouth, so it really is time for Prince Rui to be powerless?

Jia Zhu's filial piety period is one year, and now that it has passed, Jia's mother began to count his marriage.Originally, she wanted Jia Zhu to marry a noble daughter, but now she has changed her mind.

If it was before the San Francisco Rebellion, marrying Xungui was a certainty.But when the San Francisco was in chaos, the appearance of the nobles made the old lady mutter, can such nobles really help the eldest prince succeed?Although the fourth and fifth princes lost in the battle, the eldest prince and prince's subordinates also lost troops, and even the emperor seemed to have an opinion on them.This is much more fatal than losing in any battlefield!

Now that the fourth and fifth princes have been released again, is it possible that the heir in the emperor's heart is not the eldest prince, nor the prince, but one of the remaining three princes? !

She hoped that this person was not the third prince Rui Wang Situ Sheng, but Jiang Yuan was Situ Sheng's chief planner, an irreplaceable general, who was originally his cousin, and now married the younger sister of his first-class compatriot, even if they The Rongguo Mansion put up a pole to work, and this person may not be willing to accept him.

The fourth prince, Situ Hui, restrained himself a lot after he was released, and showed respect everywhere. But behind him were aristocratic families, and those aristocratic families would definitely not tolerate nobles, and it was useless for them to work.

The rest is the fifth prince...

The fifth prince, Situ Yi, has some literati powers under his command, but they have no force, and they need the help of martial arts families like Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.Besides, Situ Yi is the most beloved youngest son of the Holy One, so the chance of ascending the throne must be greater than that of King Shun!

Thinking about it this way, Mother Jia couldn't even wait to say hello to the Wang family, so she and her son Jia Zheng decided on a daughter-in-law, Li Wan, the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College Jijiu.The Li family behind this Li Shouzhong were all born in the imperial examination. They seemed to be impartial, but inside they were biased towards the fifth prince.If Zhu'er married his daughter, it would be equivalent to connecting with the fifth prince, and if the eldest prince sent someone to question him, it would be easy to explain, just say that Li Shouzhong is Zhu'er's teacher, and he is the son-in-law if he likes him Well, even the eldest prince can't tell what's wrong.A Guozijian sacrificial wine, but judging from the characters of the fourth rank, it is not obvious now, once it is sent out, it will be different. How can it be a Taoist governor, and the next step will be a big official of the frontier.He also has contacts in the imperial examination, if he can help Zhu'er run it, maybe he can be admitted to Jinshi.

Because Zhu'er was still obedient to her filial piety, she only had a brief talk with the Li family, and it was just a verbal agreement, and when the whole house showed filial piety, Jia Zhu's marriage was arranged.

As Jia Zhu's mother, Mrs. Wang was the last to know about it.She didn't understand what the old lady was thinking, she only wanted to hate injustice, other people's family wanted to marry noble daughters, and their parents were all generals, captains and so on. When Zhu'er came to her family, she married such a From the daughter of a fourth-rank petty official, this, this, this, this is how she will go out in the future, without being laughed at by relatives!

Jia Zheng's reaction to her remarks was to slam the door and go to Aunt Zhao to kiss me.This made Mrs. Wang hate her even more, and she came up with a way out of hatred. She asked people to bring Aunt Zhao's concubine named Tanchun, who had just been born a few months ago, and only said that her aunt wanted to marry her. Personally educated, gouged out a piece of Aunt Zhao's heart.That's all, she ordered people not to mention that Aunt Zhao is Tanchun's birth mother, and when Tanchun grows up, she wants to see how the mother and daughter are treated!

She thought well, but Aunt Zhao was pregnant again before her heart ached, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.That's all for a concubine, if Aunt Zhao gave birth to a brother, wouldn't she be even more arrogant.She also thought of a way to rub Aunt Zhao well, and it would be best to make her conceive, but Jia Zheng said, "Aunt Zhao vomits badly, so there is no need to set rules for her before she is born", which made her angry Nearly broke a nail on my hand.

What can she do, can she sue her husband for doing such things that violate the etiquette and law during his filial piety?If her husband falls, will she have any good fruit? !What else can I do besides endure her...
