[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

It's autumn now, and Linlin cheated Mrs. Wang a while ago.The Jia family sold two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to fill the loophole.

Linlin has already made preparations here, so these two Zhuangzi are in Linlin's hands.Brothers He Gong and He Xun took control of Linlin's Zhuangzi.

The Zhuangzi I’m going to go to this time is about 30 yuan, and there are many trivial things in it.

Qilin changed into clean and simple clothes and followed Bai Niu to the Zhuangzi.

It has not been many days since He Xun took over this Zhuangzi, and he has just had a thorough understanding of the things inside. He came to the intersection of Zhuangzi to pick up Qilin and Bai Niu, and first lay down on the ground to greet Qilin with a smile on his face.

"Get up, get up, mother said that your family has done a lot of hard work, and this place will also work hard for you."

"The little master is flattering the slave."

After Qilin said it, he just looked at Zhuangzi curiously, looking at it from far and near.Bai Niu and He Xun followed behind him, and Bai Niu took advantage of this time to convey Linlin's confession to He Xun clearly.

"...The meaning of the master is to let the little master know the sufferings of the world. In the future, don't make up your mind for the master, let the little master think for himself. If you think well, just do it. Pointing to the side, if it is proposed that the master listens, forget it, don’t insist if you don’t listen.”

Qilin turned to He Xun after playing for a while, "Is there anything going on in Zhuangzi recently?"

"Yes, there are not many. It's time to harvest crops recently. There are a lot of sorghum waiting to be harvested. Another thing is, who will sell this batch of sorghum after harvesting? Now we don't know the market for selling sorghum. ..."

Qilin had the experience of selling pomegranates last time, so he was very excited to buy them all. "What's so difficult about it, just leave it to me."

He Xun looked at the appearance of the unicorn, and more or less understood the empress's intentions, "Then let's go to the field to see the sorghum first?"

Qilin quickly nodded his head.

A group of people went to the field, and the sorghum stalks were very tall, much taller than corn.The corn fruit is in the middle of the whole plant, and the sorghum fruit is on top.The pressed sorghum bends over, and it seems that it can fall down when the wind blows.

He Xun held a sorghum and showed Qilin the fruit, "Look quickly, little master, the tassels on the top are edible. Now is the time to harvest sorghum, and these seeds will fall to the ground in a few days later. A year of hard work will be in vain."

"Then why didn't anyone come to collect this piece?"

"I'm too busy. There are not so many people in Zhuangzi. I have to go outside to find someone, and I have to pay them. The harvest is not much. If I divide it, there will be famine in winter."

Kirin "..."

He Xun didn't treat the Crown Prince like a child, so he squatted on the ground and settled the accounts for him, "It only costs so much to sell a high-volume acre, if you hire someone to work, you will have to pay so much for a day, If you have to give so much after working for three days..."

Qilin's math is not bad, "I know, I know, this means that sorghum can't be sold at a price."

"That's what it means. If you stay at home and eat by yourself, you can fill your stomach. If you spend a lot of money and hire people to work, it's really a year of work for nothing."

Qilin didn't understand, "Since growing sorghum doesn't make any money, why continue to grow sorghum?"

"Growing sorghum and selling sorghum does not make money, but if you use sorghum to make wine, you can make money. Look at the ear on it, remove the seeds and tie them together to use as a small broom. If you get it in the city, you can sell it for a penny or two.

Look at the piece of pole in the middle of it again, this one can be sold for a few dollars if the mother-in-law at home can make it into a pot lid or something.Some handy ones can even make it into baskets. If it is really made into a basket, the selling price will be even higher.

You can see that the lower half of the pole is relatively hard, you can use it to weave mats, whether it is spread on the bed or used to block dust on the roof, it will be useful. "

This is the first time Qilin has heard of these things. He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to look at He Xun, "Then his roots should be useless, right?"

"Why is it useless? Dig out the roots, shake off the soil on them, and mix them with the manure of pigs, sheep and cattle to make fertilizer."

"What about the leaves?"

"The leaves can be fed to sheep."

Kirin was amazed.

He Xun stood up, "Little master and servant come to the front, there are beans in front, there are mung beans, soybeans and cowpeas, the servant will lead you to recognize them first."

There are more people in the place where beans are grown, and some children are picking them with baskets.

He Xun led the unicorn and squatted on the side of the road, pointing to a mung bean and said, "This is mung bean, look at this bean pod, the black one is almost dry, look at it..."

He put his hand under the pod, and gently squeezed it with the other hand. The pod exploded with a crackling sound, and all the beans inside fell onto his hand.

He Xun put the beans in his hand in front of Qilin, "Taste it, the mung beans are more delicious when they are tender and tender, but they will be very hard when they are dried."

Qilin stretched out his hand suspiciously to squeeze a bean, and the little eunuch next to him hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, don't dare to eat anything indiscriminately."

Qilin pushed him away impatiently, "Go, go, I just picked it from the ground, it's just this one, and it won't hurt people."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed it into his mouth, "It has a little bit of sweetness, but it's very light."

He Xun pointed to this large piece of mung beans, "Pick it off now, dry it and sell it in the city. Many people buy these, and it's just right for making soup."

On this day, Qilin followed He Xun to get to know Huangdou, Hongxiaodou, Doujiao and sesame.Then I saw a large cotton field...

"The cotton bolls on it are so big."

"This year's harvest is good. In previous years, there was a lot of rain, and the cotton bolls were rotten in the ground. The more sunny days, the better the cotton harvest."

Cotton was half as tall as a person, He Xun led the way, and Jiang Xi followed behind with a unicorn on his shoulder.

He Xun walked and picked up a cotton boll, pulled out the cotton wool inside, and there was a black and hard cotton seed inside the cotton wool, and turned around and said to Qilin, "To weave cotton cloth, the cotton seed inside must be removed, and it is spun into cotton thread. Oil can also be harvested, in addition to cottonseed oil, sesame oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil... When there is a chance, I will take my little master to see the oil. Let's take a look at the harvest today."

Qilin nodded vigorously, sat on Jiang Xi's shoulders, looked up at the sky, only felt that the wind was high and the clouds were calm, because sitting high, he could see far away, and saw many people in the cotton field bending over to pick cotton. There is an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Not only secretly muttering in his heart, "Father said that the splendid family is a splendid family, and it is true. The people are not lazy, and the land is not infertile. As long as the weather is good and the monarch is wise, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

After walking around all afternoon, a group of people protected Qilin and returned to the palace. Qilin first went to the imperial study to talk to the emperor.

Today's experience was too new for Qilin, so Xiaozui kept telling the emperor what he had seen and heard today, and he also talked about his emotions. Both father and son were very happy with each other.

The emperor patted his head contentedly.

"Not long after you left, your grandmother came looking for you. It just so happens that it's time for dinner. Let's go to the Empress Dowager's Palace for dinner. After dinner, I'll go find your mother."

The father and son went hand in hand to the palace of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Xi was naturally happy to see her son and grandson coming over. When she was eating at the same table, she saw Qilin seriously eating all the rice grains at the bottom of the bowl.

The Empress Dowager Xi frowned a little after reading it. In her opinion, being picky about leftovers is what a wealthy family should do.

"Good grandson, let someone give you another bowl."

"No, no, grandson is full"

"Don't worry about the leftovers when you're full. Our family can't look for food at the bottom of the bowl. It makes people feel petty."

The emperor was digging his head into the rice, and raised his head quickly when he heard it.

First, I looked at my son's bowl, it was clean and there was not a grain of leftovers.Qilin was on the sidelines persuading the old lady, "It is said in the book that 'one porridge and one meal should not be easy to come by, half a thread and half a thread, and the constant memory is difficult'. Seeing today's farmers farming, the grandson thinks this is true. Yes, we must cherish some food in the future."

The Empress Dowager put down the chopsticks, "I can't wrong you, our family is already extremely rich, and those young masters outside are picky and picky when they eat, how can you be better than others..."

"Mother," the emperor interrupted the Empress Dowager, and said to Qilin, "go outside for a walk when you're full, don't walk too fast."

Qilin agreed and took a few court ladies and eunuchs to the courtyard.

The emperor put down his chopsticks and gave the Queen Mother a bowl of soup. "Don't say this in front of Qilin in the future, our Qilin is a good boy." I thought that my mother really didn't know much, and not long ago I still felt that my mother was lonely every day, so I thought about putting Zou Wu here to be raised by my mother, but fortunately no Said this to the queen mother and the empress.

"Of course I know that my grandson is a good boy. If it were someone else, I wouldn't care about so many things. I used to see those returned dishes in the kitchen when I was working in Zhen's family. The dishes inside were all moved. Two chopsticks, only one or two sips of porridge... This is what rich and noble people do."

Speaking of this, seeing his son's face, he didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor really had nothing to say at this time, he felt sorry for her experience over the years and for her insight.

"So the sons of the Zhen family can only be ministers, and the heirs of my Cui family should be in the country. Those who are extravagant and desperate are foolish monarchs, and none of those sage monarchs is a person who lives a simple life. You old people don't understand these things, so don't do them in the future." nonsense."

The Queen Mother thought for a while and shut up decisively.The son he gave birth to himself knows clearly, so he said quickly, "The stepmother will stop talking nonsense in the future, don't stop Qilin Baize and his brothers from coming to pay my respects."

After all, it was his own mother, the emperor just sighed in his heart, thinking that it would be better to put more talents next to the mother tomorrow, so that when the sons came to pay their respects, if the mother said something inappropriate, he would know in time.

"They are grandchildren, and it's only natural to pay respects to grandma. Don't think about it."

Only then did the Empress Dowager rejoice, "I just want to see Qilin and Bai Ze come over, kiss me and be obedient. After all, it is my grandson, who suits me better than the princes in the palace outside the palace. You go back and talk to your wife Said, if she is busy, ask her to send Zou Wu, and I will take care of the children for you while I can still move."

The emperor put a few perfunctory words in his mouth, thinking in his heart that Zou Wu would let him pinch it, because he was afraid that the mother would teach the child badly.

After eating, the father and son went to the Ganlu hall together.

Qilin then seriously told Linlin what he had seen and heard today.

This kid is smart, he repeated what He Xun said completely.

"It's one thing to hear about it, it's one thing to understand it, and it's another thing to be proficient in it. You just went to the Zhuangzi today to find out what crops we planted, and you probably know what these crops are. What can be done with.

In the future, you have to learn to know how to make these things more valuable. Take mung beans as an example. In what season can mung beans be sold at a high price. It is better to sell beans or sprouts.

If you are selling beans, and another person is also selling beans, when you two are fighting, how can you raise the price and still sell the beans?

Therefore, it is said that insight into world affairs is knowledge, understanding of human feelings and sophistication are articles.After you learn this, the queen mother will hand over the workshop near the capital to you.When you master the workshop in the capital without losing money, the empress will entrust you with the cloth business near the capital. After you have arranged all the businesses near the capital, the empress will entrust you with the business north of the river You have dealt with the affairs north of the big river, and the affairs in the south of the river are also in your hands. "

Qilin's face glowed red, "The queen mother must keep her word."

"Didn't the queen mother count in what she said in front of you?"

Qilin smirked, jumped up and down happily on the spot, and took his brother to say goodbye and go back to sleep.

The emperor and Linlin knew that Qilin would not be able to sleep well tonight when they watched their brothers jumping out of the bedroom.

The emperor was still somewhat dissatisfied, "He will rule the world in the future, why do you ask him to learn some business affairs?"

"People say shopping malls are like battlefields, and he always has to go through this kind of occasion to realize that people's hearts are fickle.

Besides, I think that governing the world is the same as governing Zhuangzi. He can manage a Zhuangzi well when he is young, but it is difficult to govern the world when he grows up.

If you think what I said is wrong, don't worry about it. After all, I don't have much knowledge, I don't know how to govern the world, and I still have to rely on the emperor to guide him.Raising a son is not only to feed him and clothe him warmly, but also to teach him how to behave. After all, what I can teach a girl is limited, so our son still depends on you. "

The emperor's mood calmed down a lot, "It's natural, Qilin is not only your son but also my son, but we should discuss how to teach the child in advance. If you can’t get it back, it’s too late to regret.”

Autumn is very short, and it passes in a blink of an eye.In autumn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased a lot of charcoal in large quantities.

There are many bamboo charcoals on the market this year that are being sought after by those literati.Linlin thought that Zou Wu was still young, so in addition to giving him more clothes, she first used charcoal for him.

In addition to using charcoal, there are also fire paths and kangs laid in the palace. It is not too cold in winter, but it is a bit dry.

When the emperor went to Zou Wu's bedroom, he saw the boy was wearing thin clothes, crawling up and down on the kang.

"Your boy can already walk two steps, why are you still crawling?" The emperor picked up the youngest son, "Can you call your father the emperor?"

Zou Wu has teeth and is still drooling. He opened his mouth and said, "Tiger tiger tiger"

"Little idiot, why haven't you learned how to speak at such an age? Your elder brother can already speak at your age."

After speaking, someone brought the youngest son's cloak, wrapped him tightly, and carried him to the queen's bedroom.

The brazier was also carried to Linlin's bedroom.

When Linlin saw Zou Wu, she had a terrible headache, "Why did you bring this little ancestor here? I just coaxed him back, and I can't work without him."

Just as he was talking, Zou Wu struggled out of the cloak and stretched out two small hands, his mouth was vague, struggling to go to Linlin.

"This kid knows who to kiss." The emperor hugged and sat next to Linlin, "I can't do it with the fourth child. The fourth child is closer to the wet nurse than to his own mother."

Linlin pretended she didn't hear, she hugged Zou Wu and bowed her head to discuss with him, "Let's sleep for a while, when we wake up, let's eat cakes."

"Cake..."

"Did you hear that? He's a foodie. You can learn it by telling him about cakes. After teaching him to learn from his father and queen, he didn't learn it after half a month."

"We, Zou Wu, have two elder brothers above us. Their aura is taken over by their elder brothers. It doesn't matter if you're an idiot."

Linlin couldn't understand his argument, "Why do you say that? We, Zou Wu, are also good boys, so don't say we're stupid."

While the husband and wife were talking, a court lady called Hongsi came in with a tray, "Your Majesty, I found what you said, see if it is this."

Linlin took a look, and there was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with eight treasures on the tray.

"It's this couple, first put them away in a box, and when the time comes, I'll reward them."

The emperor looked at the court lady strangely, "Who is this? Why did you suddenly come to you?"

"What is sudden? I have been serving outside for two or three years, but I have never entered the inner palace. I used to be a second-class court lady, but now I am a first-class court lady next to me. There are three more, one is called Baisi, the other is called Green silk. It's called Huangsi. The Xiang girl and Tian girl beside me are getting old, let them go back and get married. Only the white girl and the black girl will stay with me forever."

"The old ones don't go and the new ones don't come. Since you think these people are suitable, then they will be transferred to you. It's just our two sons, who do you want to let go?"

"The black girl and the white girl will each serve Qilin. After two years, the other will be given to Bai Ze. When the two brothers get married, the white girl and the black girl will be transferred back." These four big servant girls grew up with him since they were young, on the one hand they wanted them to be with him forever, on the other hand they wanted to take care of them.

Bai Niu and Hei Niu had given up the idea of ​​going back to marry a long time ago, and this kind of thing cannot be forced. Since they wanted to stay, Linlin could only be happier.

"Let's not talk about that, my eldest brother will get married in a few days, besides the Four Treasures of the Study, what else do you think I should reward?"

"Just reward the bride with something. Only your brothers can use the Four Treasures of the Study Room, and you can't favor one over another, and neglect the bride."

Linlin nodded, and then found that the fat child in her arms was extremely quiet, and looked down to see that the boy had fallen asleep.

"I had a fuss just now, and now I fell asleep again. Take a thicker cloak and cover him up. I'll just hug him like this. I'm afraid I'll wake him up again if I move. If the emperor is busy, go to the front. There's nothing wrong with the harem."

The emperor stood up and stretched, "Nothing happened in the hall these days. Since I approved Jia Zheng's memorial, it has been quiet for a few days. I heard that their garden outside is almost the same. Our family Is it because Bai Ze has nothing to do right now, I'll take him out to play for a long time, and leave a meal for us at night, so we'll come back early."

"Since Qilin was busy with work, Bai Ze was left alone in the palace. I saw that he was really not interested in doing anything. I asked him to come over and you two changed your clothes and went out. By the way , What day did you approve to go back to visit relatives?"

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, remember to come back early in the morning when you go back in the evening. You don't need to take the children with you. I'm afraid that Zou Wu will make trouble with me if you leave."

"Only one day? I was thinking that you could let me stay for a few more days."

"How long do you want to live? Let you live there for ten days and a half a month! You don't even think about the four of us, father and son, and you can't, let alone the little one in your arms, if you go out for two days Qi Lin and Bai Ze asked me for a mother."

"Okay, I'll just go out for a day. What about the people in the harem?"

"The empress has only been out for a day, can they surpass you? Half a day is already the limit, the ladies in the deep palace are fine, don't wander around outside, don't worry about this matter, someone will arrange it when the time comes."

The two were gossiping, and Bai Ze had already started running outside, hugging the emperor's calf, "Father, are you going to take your son out? Can you buy a big Ah Fu, a sugar painting, and a sugar man for your son?" Buy a small wooden sword..."

"This kid is still more of a talker than Qilin was back then..." The emperor changed his clothes as if he couldn't take it anymore, and took Bai Ze's little hand and left.

While walking, Bai Ze turned his head and waved at Linlin, "Mother, don't think about your son, he will be back at night."

Linlin thought to herself, who misses you, I wish you would stop dangling in front of me.

Jia Lian was so busy recently that he didn't even touch the ground, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief when someone came in and said to him, "A man surnamed Cui invites you to drink."

Jia Lian changed his clothes again, and went to the restaurant to see a boy lying on the other side of the stairs.This kid is still acquainted, and saw himself running over, "Are you the second master Jia? My name is Cui Xiaoer, my brother is Cui Xiaoda, and my younger brother is Cui Xiaowu. My father is here Waiting for you..."

When Jia Lian saw this kid, he knew it was a child of Brother Cui's family. This kid was white and tender, with baby fat on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a little fairy boy in the New Year painting. He thought in his heart that this kid was pretty good. Yes, it's okay to find him as your son-in-law.

"Really? Lead the way, I have something to say to your father."

After Bai Ze finished listening, he put on a serious look with a small face, "Please follow me."

Jia Lian held back a laugh and went to the private room, "How is Brother Cui?"

"Toefl, I've been living a decent life recently, come and come, sit and sit."

The two sat down and talked a few words, while Bai Ze was a little bored, "Father, I want to go outside and play."

"Have someone follow you, don't run far away, it's in this restaurant."

After Bai Ze went out, Cui Qiye also patted his forehead with a headache, "You don't know that this is just talkative and coquettish, even more coquettish than that little girl, I still can't bear to tease him."

"If you don't want it, tell me to take it back."

"What are you talking about, even if I give it to you... the child's mother is not willing. Let's not talk about this, what are you busy with recently? Why did I hear from the shopkeeper of our family that your boy bought it from our family? Lots and lots of fabric."

Jia Lian took a sip of wine, "It's not about the garden, the cloth is for making things.

There are 120 large and small curtains made of silk and silk, silk and silk, and silk and silk.There are [-] curtains and [-] orangutan felt curtains outside. The remaining chair frames, table skirts, bed skirts, and table covers are [-] pieces each.The house is non-stop day and night, and it was not finished until a few days ago. "

After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and toasted the emperor, "The steward of your family knows me and knows that I have a good relationship with you, so he gave you a 8% discount. I went back and told our wife that there was a [-]% discount, and the remaining [-]% off The money fell into my pocket. I will pay for drinking today."

"Is it time for your family to finish?"

"I'm done with the big things, that is, to check everywhere to see if there are any omissions. I have been busy for half a year, and I can finally rest."

The emperor drank the wine, thought for a while, and mentioned something unpleasant, "I told you a few months ago, someone in your family gave loan sharks... You are busy recently, and you will not be busy in the future. Take things to heart, I didn't say that there is a concubine in your house, and there is no one in the court, so when someone visits you, what should you do?"

"I'll forget about it if you don't tell me."

"I can't bear to see you being implicated." The emperor took a sip of wine, "Some things I didn't say before, it's because our friendship is not enough. We have been together for a few years and our friendship is enough. I want to talk about your family thing."

"What can happen to our family?"

"Your family's affairs are not small. Let's take this garden repair as an example. Why doesn't your cousin come out for a walk when you are busy here? The imperial concubine is still his own sister. Let me put it harshly. People in your family use you as a manager, but they treat him like a decent man."

"He's still young, he doesn't understand anything, it's not helpful to go out to work, and besides, he's impatient to do these things."

"If you want to say that you are young... the uncle Guo of your family's relative Lin's family was about the same age as your cousin when he came to the capital to marry the queen. Their family had only one seedling at that time, so if you say they are spoiled, they are really spoiled. You can see how it was done properly afterwards.

What I said is a bit of a villain, you should be careful, if it is because someone in your family puts usury money to the public, and the title of your father and son is taken away by then, either your family will become common people in the future, or this title will fall. Your uncle and your cousins, what do you think? "

Jia Lian was in a cold sweat, but after thinking about it, it did make sense.If it is true that someone ginsengs himself, and the emperor seizes the title in anger, the whole family will definitely protect this title. No matter if it is an old lady or a noble concubine in the palace, as long as they work hard, they will definitely not let this title fall into the hands of side branches. , wouldn’t it be cheaper for Baoyu and the master then?”

"Brother Cui, I would like to toast you again, thank you for pointing out the maze today."

The emperor drank a cup with him.The atmosphere was a bit serious just now, so let's talk about less serious topics.

"The Lin family will have a happy event soon. You are all relatives. Will you go to their house to help?"

"The Lin family doesn't need our help. To tell you the truth, the relationship between our two families has not been as good as it used to be in the past two years. When my uncle and aunt were still in Yangzhou, there was a lot of communication. I don't know what happened in the past two years. Anyway, it seems that my aunt's side is getting colder. So I'll go to Lin's house, and our family Baoyu and the brothers below don't usually go there."

The emperor took a bite of the food, "It was cold when their family held a wedding, so I won't go, and then I will send the congratulatory gifts over. If you see Uncle Lin Guo, please ask me to make an apology for me. .”

Jia Lian nodded, "It's easy to say, are you really not going? Their family will be rich and powerful, and there will be many scholars. After you go, you will meet many people."

The emperor waved his hand, "It's better for our family not to get too involved, or whoever will see it at that time may want to take a bite out of me. Now our family can only keep a low profile."

Jia Lian also understood this truth, "How do you say that? It's a crime to conceive Bi, your family is too rich."

On the day when Lin Hao got married, many guests came inside and out.

Lin Ruhai and his youngest son were outside to welcome the guests.

Leaving aside how many guests and dignitaries came, Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief when his son came back with the bridal sedan chair.Putting his hand on the youngest son's head, he thought in his heart that as long as he finished the affairs of the youngest son and daughter, he would have nothing to regret in his life.

After the new couple had worshiped heaven and earth, a banquet was held at home. At this time, a series of rewards from the palace arrived.

After the reward was distributed, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree brought the prince's words.

"Recently, Japan wanted to come to the door to congratulate me in person, but the weather was a bit cold, and the empress dowager in the palace refused to let me go, so I was rude."

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say anything, so he invited the eunuch to sit at the banquet, and brought his son to toast one table at a time.

When he arrived in front of Jia Lian, Jia Lian quickly turned around, first congratulated Lin Hao, and then whispered to him, "Brother Cui, Yunsheng's boss, asked my brother to send a message to my cousin. He can't come today because of something. I wish you a happy wedding and a happy marriage." And Meimei."

After hearing this, Lin Hao looked Jia Lian up and down to make sure that he was not drunk at the moment, and raised his glass to drink with Jia Lian.

When he went to a place where no one was around, Lin Ruhai asked, "How did he know the emperor?"

"You can't explain things like fate, so don't think about it. My son guesses that it's the emperor's intention for us to associate with Jia Lian."

Lin Ruhai nodded, turned around and sat at the banquet talking and laughing with the others.

A few days later, Jia Min brought his daughter-in-law into the palace to pay his respects.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in, Linlin quickly asked them to sit down and looked at the new daughter-in-law, probably because the newlyweds were relatively thin-skinned, so she kept her head down and dared not speak.

Linlin rewarded her with a pair of eight-treasure bracelets, so she didn't pay attention to her any more. Instead, she talked with Jia Min about Lin Hao's New Year's Imperial Examination.

The new daughter-in-law was relieved when she saw that the topic didn't go around her. She listened carefully to what Linlin and Jia Min had to say.

"It must be known that there are people beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Although my brother did well in the previous exams, he still needs to be careful this time. Don't be complacent just because of the previous grades."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, he knows it himself. The master also said that his heat is enough. Since the master has said so, the matter is almost settled."

"Since it was my father who said it, I won't say anything else. He has to take care of his diet and rest during this period of time."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." After Jia Min finished speaking, he turned to look at his daughter-in-law, "My Majesty and your brother are married now, and the only things left to worry about in the family are your sister and little brother. gone."

"My little brother is still young... Even my sister is not very old now..."

Jia Min wanted to refute, but he couldn't say this sentence, so he just nodded in agreement.

Girls these days have a delicate status, and if they want to marry a good husband's family, they have to inquire from an early age.But now in this capital, there are not many sons and daughters who can make Lin Ruhai see it.

There is no need to tell the empress about these things, and the empress should not worry about such things.

Instead, he mentioned other things, "I still need to ask my mother to show you something. I heard that other people's gardens either bring Taoist temples or Buddhist temples. Our family didn't bring anything. Do you want to invite me?" A nun or nun who has attained enlightenment comes to live in the house..."

Before she finished speaking, Linlin became a little impatient, "It's not that I said that the three aunts and six wives are not good. There is no need for our family to find these nuns and aunts to live in our home. Besides, whether it is Taoist scriptures or Buddhist scriptures, they all advise people to be quiet and do nothing. Be resigned, reading too much will affect your temperament.

Letting them come to our house will inevitably have to deal with our family's female relatives, and it will not be beautiful in the long run.I'll put it here for you in a moment, just tidy up the house and install the appliances at home, don't do so much work like others, I'll just go back for a day, go back in the morning as soon as it gets dark, it's better if I have this time Let's talk a few more words. "

"Has the time been set?"

"That's what I decided. Others don't know. Zou Wu is still young. I'm worried if I can't see him at a glance. It's so cold. If I take him out, I'll be worried if the wind blows and freezes." It's uncomfortable, after thinking about it, I think it's better to go back to my mother's house for a day."

"That's fine, your Highnesses are more important here. Then I'll tell the master that when I go back."

"Just tell my father, don't bring those opera singers, nuns and nuns to the house. It will be difficult to deal with quarrels with the family members in the future. There will always be all kinds of troubles."

Within a few days, the news spread in the capital that the concubines on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would visit their relatives.

After the news spread to the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion was full of joy, and people checked the garden over and over again. Mrs. Wang didn't care to hide her shame, and came out of her own yard to check everywhere in the garden. Going to change it, the garden is very big, and I only feel back pain after walking there.

"After all, it's not as good as it used to be. It's useless when I'm old." Mrs. Wang asked her maid to beat her waist while Mrs. Xue sat next to her and gave her advice, "Why do you have to go back and forth by yourself?" , Let the servant girl carry you around the garden, it's quick and easy."

"You're right, I didn't remember it." After finishing speaking, he glared at the maids around him, "It can be seen that these little hoofs are not paying attention, it's not that they can't remember it, they I just didn’t say anything on purpose.”

The maids quickly apologized, and Madam Wang waved them out.When there was no one in the room, I told Aunt Xue, "I sent someone to invite Feng girl over yesterday, but Feng girl only said that she was sick, which shows that I can't control her now."

"You have wronged Feng girl. Although she is not sick, she is not easy to come out to meet people. I heard that Lian'er came back from drinking some wine a few days ago and punched Feng girl and Ping'er alone. The two of them had dark circles around their eyes, and Feng girl wanted to fight with him, but he beat her up. This is not counted, someone tied up Feng girl's companion, and beat each of them 20 sticks. Now the master and servant are there Healing his wounds."

Mrs. Wang heard it for the first time, "It's against him. He beat and scolded the girls of our Wang family as soon as he said. The same is true for Feng girl. She should go to the old lady and sue him, and drink a few mouthfuls. Huang Tang came back to vent his anger on the girls, and that's all he can do."

Mrs. Xue didn't want to care about the couple's affairs, "Maybe Feng is shy, she didn't dare to go to the old lady, and she avoided going out to see people these two days. I thought of their little husband and wife quarreling at the end of the bed, so I just But if you ask this kind of thing, it will save the couple from disgusting us and let us be lenient."

Mrs. Wang wanted to step in the middle, thinking in her heart that it would be easier for Wang Xifeng to instruct her in the future.

"I'd like to see why that good-for-nothing beats Feng girl. You sit down first, and I'll go around Feng girl's yard."

Mrs. Xue stood up, "I'll go too, after all, it's a girl from our Wang family, we can't let people from their Jia family
