[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

"Why are there 9000 people?" Linlin was the first to not believe it.

At this moment, Jia Min's heart seemed to be floating in the air. After listening to her daughter's words, she gave her a reproachful look, "This is the royal style."

Lin Hao explained to his sister seriously, "Let's talk about the sedan chair you are sitting in. There are 81 people carrying it. You should think about it. From the imperial city to our house, and from our house back to the imperial city, what is the process?" It is impossible for these 81 people to carry all the sedan chairs on the road, and how many groups of people have to be changed in the middle. I heard that there are nearly 1000 people carrying the sedan chairs.

The emperor will not come in person on that day, and the clan ministers will welcome the queen as representatives, as well as many domestic and foreign wives, plus the queen's guard of honor-I heard that there are 3000 people in the honor guard of the queen alone, and there are 18 pairs of light-winged screens and fan screens , not to mention those who carry censers, gourds, yellow umbrellas, and axes and halberds. At that time, the Jiaofang Secretary will play the Showa music in our house, and the maids and eunuchs who will serve you on the sedan chair and the noble ladies who will come to marry Together with the guards outside the gate, there are 5000 people.

Are those wives, ministers and ladies coming alone?When they came, they brought two or four slaves with them... the number of people could be tens of thousands. We can't ignore food just because they are slaves.

This is only from the palace. Our relatives and friends will definitely come. These people will still entertain you. When your sedan chair leaves, I will follow you into the palace. When the time comes, we will No man stays at home to entertain guests... Our father's absence is really killing me. "

After hearing all these words from his son, Jia Min's heart finally floated from the sky to the ground, "After hearing what you said, I just remembered an important thing. Back then, when your sister was the princess, the women in our family did it. I bought 800 purses with gold locks in them, which I thought was enough. But now it seems that it is far from enough.

At this time in our family, even if all the women start embroidering purses, it may not be in time for the wedding. Also, our family has exchanged a lot of gold for your sister’s dowry, and now we have to exchange some more. I heard that the price of gold in the capital is relatively high now. ..."

"Even if the price of gold is relatively high, we can't take care of that much anymore. The steward told me about it just now, and I asked him to go to the bank to withdraw some more silver, and find a proper person to exchange for gold. As long as it is gold As long as the quality is good, it’s useless to worry about the cost of exchanging gold for silver at this time.”

After listening to her brother's words, Linlin looked at her mother, and thought in her heart that the old lady of the Lin family left a lot of gold for her to use as a box. If it wasn't for the Rongguo Mansion to borrow it, the gold in the house would be enough for her at this time.

"Don't rush, when the Rongguo Mansion borrowed money from our family..."

Before Linlin could finish her sentence, Jia Min took over the conversation, "Don't count on your grandmother's house, our family is not short of money, and it will hurt your face if something bad comes out at this time. I will slowly worry about this kind of thing in the future, and before you enter the palace, nothing will go wrong."

"I didn't force them to pay back the money. It's just our own people talking casually at the moment. At the beginning, my grandmother and the elderly left me a lot of good things. My brother will take someone to see it tomorrow. If there is something useful Just take it out and use it."

"Our family is not ready to use your dowry." Jia Min finished speaking and looked at Lin Hao, "It would be better if your sister had some money..."

"Mother don't have to worry. The son doesn't get angry with his sister because of such a trivial matter. The relationship between the son and his sister is good. For the sake of his sister, the son is willing to go back and forth. Besides, some money in the family belongs to the father and mother. It took three of us to spend it." It didn't fall to other people's family either. Mother, don't think too much, even if my sister gets married in the future, although the dowry for her will not be as good as that of my sister, it will not be worse, and my son will definitely not be stingy about it."

Jia Min was extremely relieved, and put the little girl in her arms on the ground and patted her on the back, "Daiyu, thank you brother."

The young Lin Daiyu didn't know what happened at all, so she ran over obediently and hugged her brother's waist, "Thank you brother."

Instead, Lin Hao blushed, his ears turned red, he touched his sister's bun, and changed the subject forcefully to cover up his discomfort.

"Whether it's a purse or gold is a small matter, our family can handle it. There are still some important things that I want to tell my mother. We have a mother in our family. It is necessary to write letters to relatives and friends. It is my father. I also want to send a letter. These letters are written by my son. Maybe some of my father’s friends and relatives will come to celebrate from tomorrow. What should I do then? Please tell my mother.

Another thing is that people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said today that furniture and other things don't need to be brought into the palace, but fabrics and jewelry should be a little heavier than before.I also heard from the housekeeper just now that although the things my father sent from Jiangnan are all good things, some of them are not suitable for dowry, like those moon white, egg green...these colors are too plain, the color is suitable The quality is not high enough, so my mother has to repair a book and send it to Jiangnan together, so that my father can send someone to buy it..."

Some of Jia Min's maids could read and write, and someone had taken notes long ago when they heard what the masters said.

The whole family didn't sleep all night, so Jia Min was responsible for writing letters to Lin Ruhai. Lin Hao took the old housekeeper and a few housekeepers to sort out all the relatives in the family, and spent the rest of the night writing letters. Send them out one by one, this is to announce the good news, our family has a concubine, let all relatives know.

Lin Hao didn't sleep all night. He couldn't sleep because of his excitement, and he didn't dare to sleep. Tomorrow and the next few days will be the tough battle, and he needs to cheer up to cope.

Not only himself, but also the stewards at home all sat around with their eyes open all night, thinking about an errand over and over several times, and then reporting it to the butler after discussing it. The butler felt that there was nothing wrong with it and If there is a loophole, report it to the master.

So when the whole Rongguo Mansion came to visit the next day, they could see Lin Hao with two dark circles under his eyes, but he was in high spirits.

The old lady of Jia's family came to the upper room, but she could not see her granddaughter, "Where is your mother now?"

Jia Min is not used to it, since she was surprised today and yesterday, she finds that she is not used to seeing anything.On the contrary, the maids and wives of the family adapted well. Although they endured a lot of hard work, their eyebrows almost flew up, which made people know that they were extremely proud.

In her heart, she thought that mother and daughter had no dignity or inferiority, but before dawn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two old nuns, and she couldn't help it. They were sent by the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, the new emperor's biological mother. He was also polite when he said, "The Empress Dowager was worried that the Empress Dowager's eyes would be darkened when she entered the palace, so she asked the servants to come to your mansion to serve the Empress Empress, and first tell the Empress Dowager what is going on in the palace."

Jia Min let go of her heart, although everyone was shouting at the Empress Empress, but she couldn't let her heart go completely if she couldn't get the imperial decree for one day.

Bringing these two old mothers to the daughter's yard, the girl has not woken up until now, Jia Min went up and screamed twice, but was stopped by the two old mothers from the palace, and was educated After a meal to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, I endured a breath and went back to my yard. Before I had a bite of breakfast, people from Rongguo Mansion came. The key is that the old lady placed her position very low at this time, and she had to stand up. Greetings to the future empress...

Jia Min couldn't straighten out her role for a moment, and neither could Linlin.

Anyone who opened his eyes and saw two old ladies who looked like orange peels standing in front of her bed thought they were having a nightmare.

These two old ladies looked really different. One was tall and thin, as if a piece of skin was attached to a skeleton, looking particularly vicious.There is another one that is black and fat, round like a big winter melon. People say that fat people look good and bring good luck, but this one has very heavy nasolabial folds, the corners of the mouth are turned down, and he is unsmiling. Seeing such a Many people will subconsciously stay away from it.

The tall and thin one stood up and introduced himself first, "My servant's surname is Xu, the empress dowager, let this servant serve you during this time." Then he pointed to the black and short colleague next to him, "This is Madam Gao, who is also the old man in front of the queen mother. gone."

After finishing speaking, the two of them knelt firmly in front of the pedals.

Linlin, with disheveled hair, seemed to feel that she was still in a dream at this moment, and she pinched her fingertips, which felt painful.

"Black girl, white girl, hurry up, help the two of you up. The two nuns are here so early, have you had breakfast? Go down and have a meal first, and come back later."

The two of them agreed with a low eyebrow, and whoever's black girl and white girl went down, Xiangniu and Tianniu quickly surrounded them.

"Miss, you don't know how powerful these two old ladies are. Just now our wife said to let the girl get up, but these two old ladies caught our wife and talked about it."

After Linlin heard this, she was furious inside, thinking that she dared to bully my mother in our house, how brave she is.

He directly lifted the quilt and said to Tian Niu, "At their age, their stomachs are not good. Let the kitchen serve them some greasy things later, and then serve them a bowl of iced mung bean paste. Let them eat for a few days first. Let's talk about the stomach."

Tian Niu hurriedly stopped her when she heard this, "Ancestor!! You must not be a moth, they are all elderly people, these things are very clear, and they would rather not eat than make such an ugly mistake. If What do you think of the Empress Dowager in the palace, if you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, just say that they came from the Empress Dowager's side, you have to respect them three points."

Linlin turned her head and glanced at the girl, "Don't you know that I usually hate the servants who come out from the old master's side to bully the young master?"

After hearing this, Tian Niu knew that this stubborn temper was coming up again.I thought about waiting a while to ask my wife to persuade this aunt, this is really my aunt, I don't know what she is going to do if things don't go my way at all.

Just when Tianniu was thinking wildly, Linlin smiled, "It's okay, since you've come to live in my yard, we have to respect everything you say. Go fetch water, I'll wash my face at this time, and after changing Clothes to see the wife."

These two old mothers from the palace ate very fast. Just as Linlin finished cleaning up, the two of them stood at the door again.

I had no choice but to take the two of them to Jia Min's yard.

As soon as Linlin entered the courtyard, the maids and women in the courtyard began to pay their respects like dumplings. When they reached the upper room, the room was full of female relatives from the Rongguo Mansion. Started worshiping again.

After getting it done like this, Linlin felt that she didn't have time to say a few sweet words to her mother.Because I had just eaten two bites of breakfast under the eyes of everyone, the women from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived to measure their bodies and make clothes.

After measuring her body, many people came up with jewelry for her to choose. Linlin was completely blank, not knowing how she walked back to her yard.When I fell on the bed, there were all kinds of hairpins flying in front of my eyes. I will never worry about using hairpins in my life.

In fact, what Linlin doesn't know is that the new emperor who has not yet ascended the throne has nothing to do at this time.

Although the old emperor said that he would give up the throne to his son, he actually still missed his rights, not only because Linlin's empress position has not been officially certified.Even if the new emperor is told that the world is the successor emperor, if the power is not handed over at all, there is still a risk of being abolished, not to mention that his brothers are still eyeing him and will not give up easily.

Therefore, the new emperor is very honest and obedient at this time. He praises the old emperor's stinky feet all day long, but he can't clearly show his intention to let the old emperor hand over his power... The old emperor is obviously not happy.

So he can only play various tricks in his marriage to cover up his embarrassing position, and express an attitude of wanting to marry a beauty, so that his brother and father can relax.Secretly, they still have to gather people to overtake the old emperor.

This is also the reason why he was unwilling to let Lin Ruhai and those confidantes who supported him earlier come to the capital. In his opinion, the big thing has not been accomplished and the overall situation has not been decided.Be especially careful at this time.

Since it is an excuse to paralyze the father and brother, it must be executed perfectly.

The Queen's original residence was not in Tonghua Palace, but the Empress Dowager's successors were unwilling to move, so the husband and wife could only squeeze in Tonghua Palace first.

The emperor would go to Tonghua Palace every day to urge the eunuchs in the palace to adjust the positions of various furniture, expressing his great anticipation for the marriage.Besides, any delicious and interesting things in the palace were sent to Lin's family. The most sent were some gold, silver and jewelry, because each piece was exquisite and delicately made, Linlin really liked it very much.

The Lin family used to have a thriving family, but after the emperor's promotion, it became a big hit.

Lin Hao went back home and talked to Linlin across the screen, and mentioned his experience outside, "I can hardly walk on the road now, and I always meet the sons of various families in the capital by chance. , It's like meeting a family in one step.

And when I came back, the carriages and horses on the road heard that our family’s carriages gave way one after another, and there were some high-ranking elders inside. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to walk, so my family’s carriages and horses were parked on the side of the road. I won't leave unless they leave first.I'm afraid that people will say that we are light-boned, and the current state almost makes me worry to death. What should I do after you enter the palace? "

After finishing speaking, he wiped off his sweat, "I can't live through this day. I asked the eunuchs who delivered the things. The emperor means that the wedding date will remain the same. After all, there are only two or three months left. Hurry up!" Let's go to the palace, no one will be watching this matter, maybe our family's life will be easier."

Linlin picked up a grape from her hand and threw it on her younger brother's head through the screen. Just as she was about to scold him with a smile, the high-spirited mother next to her persuaded her with a stern face and a drawn-out voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Empress of the Central Palace , be an example to all peoples.”

After Linlin finished listening, she agreed with a smile, "Nurse is right, let me say a few words to my brother..."

"Your Majesty should call herself Bengong..."

Linlin couldn't bear it anymore, "someone will pull this old guy down, and take them away when the eunuchs in the palace come tomorrow. The empress dowager, out of kindness, let these two old guys teach me how to behave, but they didn't Thinking of these two veterans who don't want to repay, but are here to encourage me to be bad."

Gao Momo was shocked by her ability to turn black and white, "Why did your mother say that?"

"Although I married into the royal family, the ceremony has not been completed yet, and I behave according to the rules after marriage. I don't respect my parents and my brothers. Tell me how many girls in the world are so self-respecting? You said just now that I am an example for all people. Well, isn't this just teaching me to be bad, and making me ruin the reputation of the daughters of the world. When I become a mother to raise a girl in the future, the girl will be able to talk back and say, "The empress can do it, so I can't do it" .”

After finishing speaking, he said to the women around him, "Take care of them. When the emperor's people come tomorrow, let them come to see me in person. For the sake of the empress dowager's face, let's put this matter in the pot."

The mothers-in-law around agreed abruptly, and pushed Nanny Gao back down.

Linlin let out a long breath, and immediately slumped down on the chair, "I've endured it for a few days, and I'm free."

"You should change it too. Now that two old wives can torment you like this, what will you do if the wives from inside and outside visit you in the future?"

"Of course it is to show the queen's posture. I also want to be a good queen, but I am not used to it. Let me take it easy for a few days and talk about it later."
