[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 90 Surging (1)
Speaking of this, Xin Yun felt a little funny, "When people are pregnant, they always want to eat some sour and spicy food. This sister-in-law wants to eat sweet food when she is pregnant. But it is not easy to find sugar sellers in Baoding, so I sent People came to our house, and the uncle said it was a good thing for Tianding to import, and sent them all the jars of candy from our house.
I decided to send some fabrics and medicinal materials, things for children, and packed up a car, which is still passable. "
Linlin nodded, "You've done a good job. You know our wife. Don't look at her who is usually shrewd. In fact, she is the stupidest. If Jia's family begs you, just ignore her. She may not feel better. Now it's good, our wife can feel better when we are not far or near, and when the Jia family does anything, they don't want to get involved with us. "
While the two were talking, someone trotted in, "Ma'am, there's a message from the West Garden, saying that it's not good for the empress dowager."
Upon hearing this, Xin Yun quickly stood up and said goodbye.
Linlin called the person who sent the message to ask, "What is it like now? How far is it?"
It was an eunuch who came to pass the message, and rode into the palace from outside the city.
"The slave didn't see it with his own eyes. He heard that he is unconscious now. He breathes more and breathes less every day when he falls asleep. The imperial physician is no longer willing to prescribe prescriptions."
"Have you heard the reaction of the Supreme Emperor?"
"I heard that the Supreme Emperor said in the bedroom, 'It's time too'."
Linlin waved her hand, and after the eunuch who had sent the message back down, she ordered the palace to change their attire.
Since the emperor promised to bury the noble concubine with the etiquette of the empress dowager, the palace cannot be full of joy.
The order was passed down one by one, and Concubine Dong Gui brought people over.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of reasoning that ministers and concubines shouldn't beg in front of you, but... our Princess Shouchun's child is still young, and it's time to visit relatives today... Can you save our princess from crying for filial piety?"
Linlin thought for a while, "Send someone to stop our princess, don't let her enter the palace, just tell her to report her illness in the next two days."
Concubine Dong Guier immediately went down after receiving the letter, and Linlin asked Xiezhi's wet nurses to come over, "I said that His Highness has a cough these few days, let him play in the Ganlu Palace, don't let him go out."
In addition to Xiezhi, there are two princesses who are about the same age as Xiezhi, one is Princess Xinyang born by Li Gui, and the other is Princess Xingyang born by Dong Gui.They all told them not to come out for a while.
Just after the order here, the emperor came back from the front court.
The emperor came back with no nonsense, "You take Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia to the West Garden, then leave Concubine Jia there, and bring Concubine Dong back to handle the funeral for the old woman."
Linlin didn't dare to ask why Jia Gui was left there, she agreed, and asked him, "What about our children? When there is a funeral at home, they must come out to cry and mourn."
The emperor did not want his sons and daughters to wear sackcloth and filial piety for others. "When the time comes, all the boys will serve in front of the Supreme Emperor, saying that the old man is distraught. At this time, let the grandchildren accompany him. As for the girls in our family... send them to the emperor for their birthdays outside the palace." Chun went there, and said that Shouchun had some problems after giving birth, and asked these younger sisters to accompany her older sister."
"Okay, I'll send someone to send a message to Shouchun right now, asking her to clean the house."
"This funeral can't be delayed for too long. If it's delayed for at most two months, it's best to be half a month sooner. Send the old woman to the imperial mausoleum earlier, and I will feel better in my heart."
Linlin agreed, and there were rumors outside that Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia had come.
Linlin quickly changed her clothes and jewelry, and took the two of them to the West Garden in a carriage.
Linlin first went to the Concubine Gui's bed to have a look, then comforted Concubine Gui's daughter-in-law and went to see the Supreme Emperor.
"Father, seeing that Father has lost a lot of weight...Please take care of Father."
The Supreme Emperor sighed, pointed to the seat next to Linlin to sit down, "Has the palace been tidied up?"
"It's already tidied up. The resting palace and the shrouds to be worn are all ready. Does the emperor have any additional orders? Taking advantage of the present... my daughter-in-law asks someone to do it quickly."
"How did you arrange the crying spirit?"
Linlin's mind turned, "The noble concubine is a noble character. My daughter-in-law thought that many people had received her grace when she was still in Da'an, so when the time comes, all the orders outside the palace will come to the palace to cry. When the time comes for the funeral, all these orders will follow to see the empress for the last time."
The Supreme Emperor was very satisfied, "This is also unprecedented, you are very good, you really put your heart into it."
Linlin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I just came here in a hurry after receiving a letter, and I haven't told my sisters-in-law and younger siblings about it yet. I think they would also like to come and see off the noble concubine. Erchen Now go back to the palace and call them to discuss how to deal with this matter, or else we will serve the Concubine Gui in separate shifts..."
The Supreme Emperor sighed and waved his hands, "Go back and let them come earlier."
Linlin agreed, and asked Concubine Dong Gui to be called out, and the two returned to the palace together.That afternoon, Linlin's sisters-in-law and siblings went to the West Garden in different shifts.
When Princess Shouchun received the letter, she made some calculations about her own house, and discussed with Concubine Yan, "I am wronged that Concubine Yan went to live in the study first, it's because all the younger sisters have come..."
Concubine Yan doesn't care, he just cares a little bit, "Princess, I just need someone to carry our daughter to the study every day, so that I can have a look at it."
Princess Shouchun nodded quickly, "Don't worry, my son-in-law, as long as my son-in-law is free, we will ask our daughter to greet you."
The noble concubine in the West Garden didn't last too long, since Linlin arranged these sisters-in-law to the West Garden for three days, the noble concubine began to shine.
Seeing many noble ladies around her, the imperial concubine caught Jia Yuanchun at a glance.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jia Yuanchun's arm, "Good boy, seeing you is like seeing me when I was young,"
Speaking of this, he just shook Jia Yuanchun's hand, which was so strong that Jia Yuanchun felt a kind of pain.
"Your Majesty is absurd."
The imperial concubine shook her head, looked at the eyes of the people around her, she was standing beside her daughter-in-law, and in the distance were the daughters-in-law and girls of the Zhen family, and asked people to help her up, and put away all the money she had accumulated over the years. Some treasures were divided among these people, and finally when it was Jia Yuanchun's turn, the imperial concubine asked several old servants who followed her to kowtow to Jia Yuanchun.
"They have been with me all my life, and I haven't taken care of them much. Don't let them keep watch for me, and please the noble concubine for my sake, let them retire by your side."
The fifth concubine, the daughter-in-law of the noble concubine, got up quickly, "Concubine mother, these old people have come to our palace..."
"Shut up!" Gui Taifei suddenly yelled, the voice was so loud that Jia Yuanchun's cochlea hurt.
When the other concubines saw the noble concubine scolding their daughter-in-law indiscriminately, they all looked a little ugly.The twelve princesses hurried forward to support the fifth princess and took a few steps back.
The imperial concubine looked at Jia Yuanchun very kindly at this time, "We are old relatives, and I entrust our family to you." Afterwards, these girls from the Zhen family came to kowtow to Jia Yuanchun.
This arrangement made people feel confused, and the princesses looked at each other in blank dismay.
The Fifth Concubine wiped her tears behind her back, thinking, since the Concubine Gui was ill, she has been serving here day and night, and now she doesn't even look good.
I also thought that the prince in the palace is now drunk and dreaming of death, and the female family members of the mansion also gave birth to a son and a daughter to a side concubine in the early years.Thinking of this, I don't know how to live in the future, and I can't help crying softly from the sadness.
After the noble concubine heard her daughter-in-law crying, she was very upset, "Get out, don't cry in front of me."
The second concubine is the oldest among the sisters-in-law, and she couldn't help reasoning with the concubine, "The fifth younger sibling has been serving you here for so long, there is no credit but hard work, how can you call her around like a court lady. "
"You go too, you all go."
When these concubines didn't enter the garden, they all thought that the imperial concubine is not a serious mother-in-law, and she is not a concubine mother like the queen mother, so why let us serve her.The agreed schedule, is the queen here?
Although I thought so in my heart, I have been holding back my anger for several days, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and today I was scolded by the old woman again, everyone will never stay and look at the old woman's face, turn around and leave, When I left, I didn't forget to grab the fifth princess.
The fifth princess still hesitated, "We are not here at this time, and the Supreme Emperor will come later, don't you blame us?"
All the concubines thought this was the reason, and they didn't go far. They were at the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom, and when they saw the emperor's car in the distance, they all returned to the imperial concubine's hospital bed.
At this time, the noble concubine's face became much calmer, she stretched out her hand to take the fifth princess's hand lovingly, and told her to live a good life with the five kings, and to educate the children and daughters in the palace well.
The gap between before and after is simply heaven and earth, the youngest concubine Eighteen is still thinking, could it be that people are dying but their words are good?
After the Supreme Emperor came in, the concubines withdrew, and after a while, news came that the noble concubine had passed away.
Everyone burst into tears immediately, because they had prepared for a long time. These daughter-in-laws changed the shrouds after grooming the imperial concubine, and sent the coffin back to the palace to start the vigil.
On the second day, it was the official cry, but in the afternoon, the princesses didn't see the princes and daughters coming.
The younger ones murmured together, "The empress is the most polite person, she must think this matter is disgusting, that's why these children in the palace are being held back.
Since the queen doesn't let the children cry, let's not bring the children of the family. "
Another person said, "I still have to bring it for big occasions, but forget about it for other occasions."
Linlin also had the same idea. On the first day, she let the children come over and went through the motions, but she didn't let the children come over in the next few days.
It was also fortunate that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai brought Lin Daiyu to Gusu, otherwise Jia Min would be indispensable for the crying spirit.
Even if Jia Min couldn't come, Xin Yun would still enter the palace early in the morning and go home after dark, kneeling there all day long, and his legs felt like they were not his own.
Xin Yun’s family lives in Sichuan and Shu, and I heard that she lives on the mountain. When she first got married, she was not used to it. When she was talking to Lin Daiyu, she said that if a bench fell in their yard, it would cost her money to go down the mountain to pick it up. half a day.
Growing up in such an environment, the body is quite good. After giving birth to twins, I heard that I recovered within ten days.Just because of this physique, Jia Min is quite satisfied, and even a pair of children rarely get sick.
Such a strong and strong person can't stand things like crying spirits, let alone those pampered old orders.
I heard that during the first day of vigil, two elders fainted.
But even so, you have to go on the second day as usual, and you are not allowed to ask for leave unless you are giving birth.
The old ladies and grandmas in Rongguo Mansion couldn't stand it either.
Moreover, they have to go to the palace every day, and no one is in charge of the family affairs. At this time, the old lady thought of Wang Xifeng who was in Baoding.
Except for Jia Lian who quietly sent someone back to tell Jia Amnesty about Wang Xifeng's pregnancy, no one else in the Rongguo Mansion knew about it.
So the Rongguo Mansion sent a few capable servants to Baoding to bring Wang Xifeng back.
Before the person is brought back, someone still needs to take care of the housework at home.
At this time, the old lady wanted Li Wan to take over.Mrs. Wang wanted to let Xue Baochai take the top.
This involves a very critical question, who is the second grandma Bao?
Regarding this matter, the old lady wanted a girl named Xiangyun, the grand-nephew of her natal family, to marry Baoyu.Mrs. Wang wanted her sister's daughter Baochai to be her daughter-in-law.
If Baochai were to take over at this time, it would be tantamount to acquiescing that Bao's second grandma is Xue Baochai.
Let's not mention whether a woman with a foreign surname takes over the family affairs of a relative's house is good or not, and whether outsiders will make irresponsible remarks.
As far as this candidate was concerned, the old lady was not satisfied.The old lady had no objection to Xue Baochai herself, but she looked down on the Xue family.
For the old lady, the most suitable person in this world for the position of Second Grandma Bao should be her granddaughter Lin Daiyu.He has a good temper, good family background, and high knowledge.
It's a pity that his daughter, Niu Xinzuo, no longer associates with him.
That had to be the next best thing, so during this period of time, I frequently took over my nephew and granddaughter.
Let Mrs. Wang say that Shi Xiangyun is not as good as Lin Daiyu.
As for the little girl acting like a baby and encouraging Baoyu not to make progress, Shi Xiangyun took it all.When it comes to family background and the survival of her parents, Lin Daiyu has it all.
Mrs. Wang herself also has the ability to judge. The family background of the Lin family is incomparable to that of the Xue family and the historians. Moreover, the family background of the Lin family is unfathomable. The girl was born by Jia Min.
After going to the palace to cry for a few days, the servants who went to Baoding to pick him up came back.
He brought back a piece of good news for the Jia family, "Second Mistress is pregnant, and now she can't move easily. Second Mistress said that she will come to greet the old lady after she has a baby."
The old lady was a little unhappy. After being the old lady for so many years, no one has ever dared to be obedient to herself. Just the women of the Wang family, first Mrs. Wang, and then Wang Xifeng...
But it is a good thing to have a baby at home, the old lady put on a smile, "In that case, let Feng girl raise the baby there."
Then he waved his hands and said that he was tired, and let Yuanyang help him back to the bedroom.
Mrs. Wang was also tired all day, and after being supported by the maids to sit on the couch, she called Zhou Rui's family over.
"Didn't you go to Baoding a few days ago? Didn't you see Feng girl? Don't you know that she is so pregnant?"
At this time, Zhou Rui's family was complaining, "I went to see Second Grandma, but Ping'er said that Second Grandma was uncomfortable at this time, so she disappeared, so I went to see Second Master Lian..."
Mrs. Wang snorted, and she didn't know whether the anger was directed at Zhou Rui's family or Jia Lian's couple, "Go to Baoding again and tell Jia Lian in the name of delivering things to Feng girl, where is he now? Bian'er is an official and easy to do things. When the time comes to buy Zhuangzi, we will share it [-]-[-]. Let him suppress the money for buying the land, and whatever is suppressed will be his."
Mrs. Wang thought to herself, these two love money so much, isn't it just for money when they go out to become officials?Give more benefits, and don't worry about them not doing things for themselves.
Zhou Rui's family agreed again, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang, but her face was ugly, so they flattered her.
"I heard that the Empress has been ill for the past few days, and it is our eldest lady who presides over the important affairs in the palace... It seems that our eldest lady has also survived."
Having said that, Mrs. Wang's face was a little smug, "Our girl is finally keeping the clouds open and the moon shining."
He thought in his heart that Jia Min's eldest daughter was his family's nemesis, and if she was sick, it would be her turn to be her daughter.
In my heart, I hope that the empress will continue to be ill for so many years.
However, because the queen is justified after all, Mrs. Wang didn't show much pride on her face. She waved her hand and let Zhou Rui's family go down. The Queen's Division fights.
Mrs. Wang was very happy to let Concubine Jia organize the funeral of Concubine Gui, but the Supreme Emperor was very unhappy.
When Qilin greeted him, the Supreme Emperor asked with a straight face, "Is your mother really sick?"
Qilin didn't rush, "I'm sick, my head is dizzy, and I can't get up now. The imperial doctor told me to rest, because I was thinking about the concubine, and my mother wanted to get up, but every time I got up, the world was spinning. You have to be supported when you walk, so let the grandson come to you to apologize, saying that she is powerless, and let you forgive her this time."
The Empress Dowager felt a little better in his heart, but he was a little unhappy after all, "Your mother's body has always been strong, why is she sick at this time?"
"A few days ago, Xiezhi took a bath at night and made a fuss about playing in the tub. The wet nurse didn't dare to force him out, so she had to tell our queen mother, who went to take him out of the tub, soaked in water. , I didn’t change my clothes later, and the clothes were sticking to my body. When I returned to the palace, I fell ill. At that time, I had a fever and caught a cold. My mother, relying on her strong bones, didn’t take it seriously and didn’t take medicine. She woke up the next day. not coming."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "It's a bit cold now, so you can't take it as seriously as summer. You go back, let your mother recover quickly, and then come out to take care of it when she is well."
Qilin agreed, and walked back out of the Supreme Emperor's palace with a gloomy face, thinking that the Supreme Emperor is really old and confused, and the empress is now pretending to be sick because she doesn't want to take over this matter, it seems that the Supreme Emperor is pressing every step of the way...
As soon as he thought of this, the eunuch reminded Qilin that the carriage frame of the imperial concubine was in front.
Qilin ordered his carriage to be moved aside, waiting for the imperial concubine to pass by.
Who knew that this time the imperial concubine stopped on the road and opened the curtain to talk to Qilin.
"It's been a long time since I saw you brothers. Come and play in my palace when you are free. I heard that His Highness Fifth is quite proficient in poetry. I have a lot of books over there. Let him read it when he is free."
Qi Lin agreed, and after watching the imperial concubine's car drive past, he heard the eunuch beside him whisper, "This empress is shaking now."
Qilin glanced back, wondering what the Concubine Gui had left for her, which made her feel stiff right now... This tone was not at all as humble as before...
Jia Yuanchun also took advantage of this time to take care of things by himself and opened a lot of back doors for the female family members of Rongguo Mansion.
Many edicts knelt to watch the spirit, and the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion could find a remote place to sit.The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone is wearing thick clothes to avoid the cold, even the old lady of Rongguo Mansion and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing are kneeling among everyone, but they can use hot futons...
In addition, the princesses who were married in the previous palace also received preferential treatment, and the concubines and concubines of the princes and counties were also taken care of by Jia Yuanchun.
For a while, many people praised Jia Yuanchun for his virtuousness, which made Jia Yuanchun high-spirited for a while.
Concubine Dong, Concubine Hu, and Concubine Liu can't stand it.While paying her respects, she ran to Linlin, "Mother, there is really no tiger or monkey in the mountains to call you the king. If you continue to be sick like this, our relatives outside will not remember you."
Linlin ignored them and counted with her fingers. This time, she has been crying for more than 10 days. She had a cold a few days ago. If it is not good, others will think she is faking illness.
Then what reason should I use for not coming forward?
Before finding out the reason, Zou Wu started to commit suicide!
This kid heard that the poet Li Taibai could compose a poem after drinking a glass of wine, and he wanted to try it himself, but he got very drunk and ran to the East Palace to make a fuss. Jumping down, saying that he wants to practice peerless lightness skills...
Fortunately, none of the foreign ministers saw him, so the guards of the East Palace took him down while he was climbing the roof, knocked him unconscious, escorted him to the harem, and handed him over to Linlin.
Because he was wrapped in a big quilt when he came, many people thought that the fifth prince was sick, so Linlin used the excuse of taking care of her son, and the cat couldn't come out in Ganlu hall.
When the emperor came back at night, he saw Zou Wu who had woken up and laughed.
Linlin was very angry, "Why are you laughing here instead of teaching him a lesson?"
"People who are not flirtatious are in vain. The two sons in front of us are as boring as the old people. Finally, we have an interesting son. Why can't I laugh?"
"Merry you! He almost broke his leg today. If he is lucky and almost falls from the top and breaks his neck, his life will be gone. You should teach him a lesson. Listen to what you want and want him to go on. Let's die!"
"My lady, don't be angry. The father should educate him about this kind of thing. Go and extinguish the fire first, and wait for me to talk to him."
Bai Ze helped Linlin to sit aside, "Mother, everything should be seen from the outside. From the outside, it seems that Zou Wu got drunk and went to the East Palace to get drunk. From the perspective of his status, he will be the one who is going to be in the future." That is, a prince, but ran into the prince's palace and made a scene.
From an emotional point of view, if something happens to him in the East Palace, then there will be troubles between our mother, son and brother... The person behind the plan is ruthless, killing three birds with one stone, and plotting against you and your elder brother and fifth younger brother at once. "
"Don't I know? You've seen it too. Your brother is stupid. This time he's lucky. What will happen next time? It's easy to find out who is behind it. The key is to let your brother understand these things by himself."
"Upbringing a younger brother is originally the mother's business, but it is a matter between us brothers to give him a sigh of relief. Brothers should work together... You don't have to worry about this matter, the son and the eldest brother will naturally take care of it. "
Speaking of this, Qilin hurried back from the outside, greeted Linlin first, and then ran to see Zou Wu.
Zou Wu shook his head, wrapped in a quilt, and was being slapped on the head by the emperor to teach him a lesson. When he saw the unicorn, he called out to Big Brother with teary eyes.
Qilin could only sigh heavily.
Then Qilin took Zou Wu and Bai Ze out, leaving only Linlin and the emperor in the palace.
The emperor was quite pleased, "Seeing that these little meatballs have grown up and know how to tell right from wrong, my heart is warm..."
"The two big ones are the only ones who can tell right from wrong, and the two small ones don't make any sense now."
"Don't be angry, although we didn't give birth to a girl who is caring and caring to us, but a son has the benefits of a son. Even the fifth child would stand up and resist when he learned that his mother had an accident. Not to mention that our two sons can go to sea. Catch a dragon and go up a mountain to bring down a tiger."
After speaking, they put their arms around Linlin's shoulders, and the two sat quietly in the palace.
That night, in the mourning hall of the Concubine Gui, the old palace servants of the Concubine Gui were punished by King Wu because they were not crying enough.
Concubine Jia naturally disagreed, and told King Wu that when the old concubine Gui Taifei passed away, she said that these people would not be allowed to guard the spirit.
King Wu smiled and refuted her, "Grand Concubine Gui was already confused when she said this to you. How could I prevent them from going to the imperial tomb to guard the people I have used all my life...not to mention that everyone in the Zhen family To go to the imperial mausoleum, don't these old servants of the Zhen family have more face than those old masters?"
Distinguishing is not allowed after speaking, and people will pick up these people and send them on the road immediately.
As for whether these people can survive on the road, it really depends on their own luck.
That night, in Ganlu Hall, a quarrel broke out between the emperor and Bai Ze.
The emperor meant to keep these people. Without these people, how would the imperial concubine communicate with those people outside.
Bai Ze felt that the sky was big and the earth was big, and his parents and brothers were the biggest. He knew that these people were going to kill him, so why not keep them if he didn't kill them sooner?
Qilin sat between the two of them with his head down and didn't speak.The emperor kicked him, "What do you say?"
Qilin told the truth, "I asked my second brother to do this."
The emperor angrily told the two brothers to get out together.
Qilin sighed, "Father is now worried about the navy in the south, or else my son will go to the south to supervise the battle in person, and our manpower will be enough to swallow the navy."
Bai Ze also said, "Follow father's Huairou method, maybe these people will continue to play for 10 years and 8 years, can't we make them sick every day for these 10 years and 8 years?"
"That's what my ancestors did."
Qilin retorted to the emperor, "The ancestors did this because they were not sure to fight with them to determine the outcome. Now that we have the strength to compete with them, why do we still use the old Huairou formula."
Bai Ze also said, "Just like the matter of the Zhen family, as long as we copy the Zhen family, as for those trivial matters, we can deal with them slowly."
The emperor slapped each of his two sons on the head, "You in the south can't start the war lightly. Once the war in the south is stalemate, those barbarians in the north will go south. The people in the north and the dynasties have fought hard. The handover is open, and once the war starts, have you thought about how much money it will cost?
In addition to the north and the west, when the time comes, the King of the West will turn against him..."
Qilin had known for a long time that King Xi had taken refuge in his father, so he didn't answer. Bai Ze couldn't help it, "Then the son is going to the south, and we will attack the navy from the sea in the name of water pirates. Pustules, one battle can seal the world."
"Children's words." The emperor flicked his sleeves, "Get out, get out, I'm upset to see you."
The two brothers were kicked out together, Bai Ze looked back at the palace, and couldn't help whispering in Qilin's ear, "I think Father is raising tigers to make trouble."
Qilin glared at him.
The emperor returned to the bedroom angrily, and yelled at Linlin, "Look at your wonderful son! It's so annoying!"
Linlin felt baffled, you obviously praised them for being considerate yesterday afternoon, why do you find these two people annoying now?
Quickly asked the emperor what happened, the emperor refused to disclose, angrily lifted the quilt and lay down to sleep.
After Qilin returned to the East Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that today's proposal was more correct.
Boys have a strong heart to win, and Qilin wants to see how his big boats cut through the waves on the sea.
I kept thinking about this matter, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight. The next day, I followed the emperor to the court to observe the government.
As for the matter of going to the south, I put it in my heart, and this matter is like grass growing in my heart, the longer it grows, the taller it is.
King Wu didn't need to go to the court to observe politics. This was also the emperor's selfish intention. He wanted the prince to establish his own team and troops in the court earlier, so he postponed the time for the second and third children to enter the court.
The two brothers are still working as petty officials in Shuntian Mansion bitterly.
This day, the third prince saw that the second prince was a little out of his mind, so he sat down and asked him, "What's wrong with the second brother? I feel a little unhappy today."
Bai Ze snorted, "Isn't it because Lao Wu was used as a gun a few days ago and almost jumped off the roof of the East Palace. It's good luck to be a fool, I'm afraid I'll kick my legs to the ground in one breath."
After thinking about it for a while, the third prince knew that he couldn't swallow this breath, "What does the second brother want to do? Just tell the younger brother, the younger brother is the only one in front of you."
Bai Ze curled his lips, and put his arm around the Third Prince's shoulder, "It's better for us to have a good relationship."
"That is, we are shoulder-to-shoulder brothers. We grew up together, so our relationship will naturally get better."
"I heard that your daughter-in-law is in Baoding now?"
"Ask her why?"
"Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is my cousin. She is really a blood-related cousin. I won't harm her... I heard that your father-in-law's family hid in Baoding because of the imperial concubine..."
Bai Ze raised his eyebrows at the third prince.
The third prince was also quite upbeat, "You mean we can vent our anger on the members of the Jia family, it's not impossible... But second brother, what we do is a bit like a child acting on his own will. If we want to do it, we have to be serious. It's only a big event, the Jia family... a bit unqualified."
"You don't understand this. As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting three inches, where the three inches of the imperial concubine is located, it is in the Rongguo Mansion.
I can understand that you want to do something big. How can you make Rongguo Mansion so big?The highest official position in their family is a fifth-rank official... Comparing with a fifth-rank official will make you look cheap. "
"I think we both have a bit of pettiness, but pettiness has its refreshing aspect, so what do you think about it?"
Bai Ze looked up to see if there was no one around, "The two of us haven't come to work these few days, we sneaked out. I heard that Jia Baoyu is not a good bird, let's trick him out and beat him up."
"Second brother... your method..."
"The two of us went to fight in person. It is said that it is more refreshing to do it ourselves."
As soon as the third prince heard it, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Sure enough, the two of them didn't come to work on the second day. Others didn't take these two petty officials seriously, but Concubine Yan stared at them.
Yan Yu was reading the files in the lobby, and when he heard that the two little guys hadn't come, he hurriedly asked someone to go to the palace to ask.
The news from the palace came quickly, saying that the two princes had gone out as usual.
The son-in-law was a little anxious, thinking that the identities of these two people must have been exposed by leaking the news.
Quickly mobilize people to look for these two people. Many people in Shuntian Prefecture know the local snakes in the capital, and the black and white are dispatched together, and news spreads soon.
Then he immediately changed his clothes, and personally took someone to the restaurant to catch these two boys.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Yu drove the others out, "You two little ancestors, what do you want to do today? Why don't you go to work? Be careful, I will go to the Long Live Lord to sue."
"Brother-in-law, don't call us our ancestors, you and us are of the same generation."
"I want to kneel down for you two now. If something happens to you...have you ever thought about me?"
The two princes gave him a look of disdain.He turned his head and lay down on the window on the second floor of the restaurant to look down.
Yan Yu followed the two of them to look down, "What are you staring at, what's interesting down here?"
The third prince said on the sidelines, "Ever since I heard that my daughter-in-law has a younger brother or younger sister, I often send people to deliver things to them. Once someone came back and told me that a person surnamed Lai often went to my father-in-law to ask for an official. I found out after inquiring that the man surnamed Lai turned out to be a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, and guess what we found later?"
Yan Yu asked, "What did you find? It's just some sneaky things. I know about these wealthy servants. They never do good things."
Bai Ze tugged at his brother-in-law's clothes, "How much money can a slave have for him to squander. This man has sold some valuable items with a mark on it, and it belongs to the Zhen family."
"Really?"
Bai Ze clapped his hands, someone came in from the outside, took out a pair of gold-inlaid silver chopsticks from his pocket, and handed them to the son-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, take a look, this is the harvest we just got today."
The third prince also said at the same time, "My second brother and I wanted to beat Jia Baoyu today, but we didn't expect to catch a big fish. Let's follow the vine. Don't you want the property of the Zhen family? Maybe you can get it from the Lai family." Pry it out from the person."
"Don't talk nonsense, both of you, this is stolen money. I don't touch a cent of it. It will be handed over to the national treasury." After speaking, he uncovered the cloth and saw this pair of chopsticks. Obvious scalding marks spoil the overall aesthetics of this pair of chopsticks.
"This……"
Bai Ze jumped up and stepped on the stool, putting one arm on Yan Yu's shoulder, "Brother-in-law doesn't know, every family with a name and surname wants to pass on their own family, so there are family marks on the things you buy, what's the matter?" Hall numbers and house names are cast down and passed down from generation to generation.
For example, when I was crowned king of Wu, my eldest brother and queen mother had people buy these things for me, including daily use and sacrificial supplies.The same is true for the Zhen family, the traces of being scalded are their hall name. "
Yan Yu recalled that the things he had seized in Jiangnan were not marked, "So, what they wanted to pass on was sent to each family."
"That's right, unless the people from these families take over these things and melt everything into gold and mercury water and re-cast them, otherwise, these things will bear the imprint of the Zhen family all over them, you see
I decided to send some fabrics and medicinal materials, things for children, and packed up a car, which is still passable. "
Linlin nodded, "You've done a good job. You know our wife. Don't look at her who is usually shrewd. In fact, she is the stupidest. If Jia's family begs you, just ignore her. She may not feel better. Now it's good, our wife can feel better when we are not far or near, and when the Jia family does anything, they don't want to get involved with us. "
While the two were talking, someone trotted in, "Ma'am, there's a message from the West Garden, saying that it's not good for the empress dowager."
Upon hearing this, Xin Yun quickly stood up and said goodbye.
Linlin called the person who sent the message to ask, "What is it like now? How far is it?"
It was an eunuch who came to pass the message, and rode into the palace from outside the city.
"The slave didn't see it with his own eyes. He heard that he is unconscious now. He breathes more and breathes less every day when he falls asleep. The imperial physician is no longer willing to prescribe prescriptions."
"Have you heard the reaction of the Supreme Emperor?"
"I heard that the Supreme Emperor said in the bedroom, 'It's time too'."
Linlin waved her hand, and after the eunuch who had sent the message back down, she ordered the palace to change their attire.
Since the emperor promised to bury the noble concubine with the etiquette of the empress dowager, the palace cannot be full of joy.
The order was passed down one by one, and Concubine Dong Gui brought people over.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of reasoning that ministers and concubines shouldn't beg in front of you, but... our Princess Shouchun's child is still young, and it's time to visit relatives today... Can you save our princess from crying for filial piety?"
Linlin thought for a while, "Send someone to stop our princess, don't let her enter the palace, just tell her to report her illness in the next two days."
Concubine Dong Guier immediately went down after receiving the letter, and Linlin asked Xiezhi's wet nurses to come over, "I said that His Highness has a cough these few days, let him play in the Ganlu Palace, don't let him go out."
In addition to Xiezhi, there are two princesses who are about the same age as Xiezhi, one is Princess Xinyang born by Li Gui, and the other is Princess Xingyang born by Dong Gui.They all told them not to come out for a while.
Just after the order here, the emperor came back from the front court.
The emperor came back with no nonsense, "You take Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia to the West Garden, then leave Concubine Jia there, and bring Concubine Dong back to handle the funeral for the old woman."
Linlin didn't dare to ask why Jia Gui was left there, she agreed, and asked him, "What about our children? When there is a funeral at home, they must come out to cry and mourn."
The emperor did not want his sons and daughters to wear sackcloth and filial piety for others. "When the time comes, all the boys will serve in front of the Supreme Emperor, saying that the old man is distraught. At this time, let the grandchildren accompany him. As for the girls in our family... send them to the emperor for their birthdays outside the palace." Chun went there, and said that Shouchun had some problems after giving birth, and asked these younger sisters to accompany her older sister."
"Okay, I'll send someone to send a message to Shouchun right now, asking her to clean the house."
"This funeral can't be delayed for too long. If it's delayed for at most two months, it's best to be half a month sooner. Send the old woman to the imperial mausoleum earlier, and I will feel better in my heart."
Linlin agreed, and there were rumors outside that Concubine Dong and Concubine Jia had come.
Linlin quickly changed her clothes and jewelry, and took the two of them to the West Garden in a carriage.
Linlin first went to the Concubine Gui's bed to have a look, then comforted Concubine Gui's daughter-in-law and went to see the Supreme Emperor.
"Father, seeing that Father has lost a lot of weight...Please take care of Father."
The Supreme Emperor sighed, pointed to the seat next to Linlin to sit down, "Has the palace been tidied up?"
"It's already tidied up. The resting palace and the shrouds to be worn are all ready. Does the emperor have any additional orders? Taking advantage of the present... my daughter-in-law asks someone to do it quickly."
"How did you arrange the crying spirit?"
Linlin's mind turned, "The noble concubine is a noble character. My daughter-in-law thought that many people had received her grace when she was still in Da'an, so when the time comes, all the orders outside the palace will come to the palace to cry. When the time comes for the funeral, all these orders will follow to see the empress for the last time."
The Supreme Emperor was very satisfied, "This is also unprecedented, you are very good, you really put your heart into it."
Linlin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I just came here in a hurry after receiving a letter, and I haven't told my sisters-in-law and younger siblings about it yet. I think they would also like to come and see off the noble concubine. Erchen Now go back to the palace and call them to discuss how to deal with this matter, or else we will serve the Concubine Gui in separate shifts..."
The Supreme Emperor sighed and waved his hands, "Go back and let them come earlier."
Linlin agreed, and asked Concubine Dong Gui to be called out, and the two returned to the palace together.That afternoon, Linlin's sisters-in-law and siblings went to the West Garden in different shifts.
When Princess Shouchun received the letter, she made some calculations about her own house, and discussed with Concubine Yan, "I am wronged that Concubine Yan went to live in the study first, it's because all the younger sisters have come..."
Concubine Yan doesn't care, he just cares a little bit, "Princess, I just need someone to carry our daughter to the study every day, so that I can have a look at it."
Princess Shouchun nodded quickly, "Don't worry, my son-in-law, as long as my son-in-law is free, we will ask our daughter to greet you."
The noble concubine in the West Garden didn't last too long, since Linlin arranged these sisters-in-law to the West Garden for three days, the noble concubine began to shine.
Seeing many noble ladies around her, the imperial concubine caught Jia Yuanchun at a glance.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jia Yuanchun's arm, "Good boy, seeing you is like seeing me when I was young,"
Speaking of this, he just shook Jia Yuanchun's hand, which was so strong that Jia Yuanchun felt a kind of pain.
"Your Majesty is absurd."
The imperial concubine shook her head, looked at the eyes of the people around her, she was standing beside her daughter-in-law, and in the distance were the daughters-in-law and girls of the Zhen family, and asked people to help her up, and put away all the money she had accumulated over the years. Some treasures were divided among these people, and finally when it was Jia Yuanchun's turn, the imperial concubine asked several old servants who followed her to kowtow to Jia Yuanchun.
"They have been with me all my life, and I haven't taken care of them much. Don't let them keep watch for me, and please the noble concubine for my sake, let them retire by your side."
The fifth concubine, the daughter-in-law of the noble concubine, got up quickly, "Concubine mother, these old people have come to our palace..."
"Shut up!" Gui Taifei suddenly yelled, the voice was so loud that Jia Yuanchun's cochlea hurt.
When the other concubines saw the noble concubine scolding their daughter-in-law indiscriminately, they all looked a little ugly.The twelve princesses hurried forward to support the fifth princess and took a few steps back.
The imperial concubine looked at Jia Yuanchun very kindly at this time, "We are old relatives, and I entrust our family to you." Afterwards, these girls from the Zhen family came to kowtow to Jia Yuanchun.
This arrangement made people feel confused, and the princesses looked at each other in blank dismay.
The Fifth Concubine wiped her tears behind her back, thinking, since the Concubine Gui was ill, she has been serving here day and night, and now she doesn't even look good.
I also thought that the prince in the palace is now drunk and dreaming of death, and the female family members of the mansion also gave birth to a son and a daughter to a side concubine in the early years.Thinking of this, I don't know how to live in the future, and I can't help crying softly from the sadness.
After the noble concubine heard her daughter-in-law crying, she was very upset, "Get out, don't cry in front of me."
The second concubine is the oldest among the sisters-in-law, and she couldn't help reasoning with the concubine, "The fifth younger sibling has been serving you here for so long, there is no credit but hard work, how can you call her around like a court lady. "
"You go too, you all go."
When these concubines didn't enter the garden, they all thought that the imperial concubine is not a serious mother-in-law, and she is not a concubine mother like the queen mother, so why let us serve her.The agreed schedule, is the queen here?
Although I thought so in my heart, I have been holding back my anger for several days, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and today I was scolded by the old woman again, everyone will never stay and look at the old woman's face, turn around and leave, When I left, I didn't forget to grab the fifth princess.
The fifth princess still hesitated, "We are not here at this time, and the Supreme Emperor will come later, don't you blame us?"
All the concubines thought this was the reason, and they didn't go far. They were at the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom, and when they saw the emperor's car in the distance, they all returned to the imperial concubine's hospital bed.
At this time, the noble concubine's face became much calmer, she stretched out her hand to take the fifth princess's hand lovingly, and told her to live a good life with the five kings, and to educate the children and daughters in the palace well.
The gap between before and after is simply heaven and earth, the youngest concubine Eighteen is still thinking, could it be that people are dying but their words are good?
After the Supreme Emperor came in, the concubines withdrew, and after a while, news came that the noble concubine had passed away.
Everyone burst into tears immediately, because they had prepared for a long time. These daughter-in-laws changed the shrouds after grooming the imperial concubine, and sent the coffin back to the palace to start the vigil.
On the second day, it was the official cry, but in the afternoon, the princesses didn't see the princes and daughters coming.
The younger ones murmured together, "The empress is the most polite person, she must think this matter is disgusting, that's why these children in the palace are being held back.
Since the queen doesn't let the children cry, let's not bring the children of the family. "
Another person said, "I still have to bring it for big occasions, but forget about it for other occasions."
Linlin also had the same idea. On the first day, she let the children come over and went through the motions, but she didn't let the children come over in the next few days.
It was also fortunate that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai brought Lin Daiyu to Gusu, otherwise Jia Min would be indispensable for the crying spirit.
Even if Jia Min couldn't come, Xin Yun would still enter the palace early in the morning and go home after dark, kneeling there all day long, and his legs felt like they were not his own.
Xin Yun’s family lives in Sichuan and Shu, and I heard that she lives on the mountain. When she first got married, she was not used to it. When she was talking to Lin Daiyu, she said that if a bench fell in their yard, it would cost her money to go down the mountain to pick it up. half a day.
Growing up in such an environment, the body is quite good. After giving birth to twins, I heard that I recovered within ten days.Just because of this physique, Jia Min is quite satisfied, and even a pair of children rarely get sick.
Such a strong and strong person can't stand things like crying spirits, let alone those pampered old orders.
I heard that during the first day of vigil, two elders fainted.
But even so, you have to go on the second day as usual, and you are not allowed to ask for leave unless you are giving birth.
The old ladies and grandmas in Rongguo Mansion couldn't stand it either.
Moreover, they have to go to the palace every day, and no one is in charge of the family affairs. At this time, the old lady thought of Wang Xifeng who was in Baoding.
Except for Jia Lian who quietly sent someone back to tell Jia Amnesty about Wang Xifeng's pregnancy, no one else in the Rongguo Mansion knew about it.
So the Rongguo Mansion sent a few capable servants to Baoding to bring Wang Xifeng back.
Before the person is brought back, someone still needs to take care of the housework at home.
At this time, the old lady wanted Li Wan to take over.Mrs. Wang wanted to let Xue Baochai take the top.
This involves a very critical question, who is the second grandma Bao?
Regarding this matter, the old lady wanted a girl named Xiangyun, the grand-nephew of her natal family, to marry Baoyu.Mrs. Wang wanted her sister's daughter Baochai to be her daughter-in-law.
If Baochai were to take over at this time, it would be tantamount to acquiescing that Bao's second grandma is Xue Baochai.
Let's not mention whether a woman with a foreign surname takes over the family affairs of a relative's house is good or not, and whether outsiders will make irresponsible remarks.
As far as this candidate was concerned, the old lady was not satisfied.The old lady had no objection to Xue Baochai herself, but she looked down on the Xue family.
For the old lady, the most suitable person in this world for the position of Second Grandma Bao should be her granddaughter Lin Daiyu.He has a good temper, good family background, and high knowledge.
It's a pity that his daughter, Niu Xinzuo, no longer associates with him.
That had to be the next best thing, so during this period of time, I frequently took over my nephew and granddaughter.
Let Mrs. Wang say that Shi Xiangyun is not as good as Lin Daiyu.
As for the little girl acting like a baby and encouraging Baoyu not to make progress, Shi Xiangyun took it all.When it comes to family background and the survival of her parents, Lin Daiyu has it all.
Mrs. Wang herself also has the ability to judge. The family background of the Lin family is incomparable to that of the Xue family and the historians. Moreover, the family background of the Lin family is unfathomable. The girl was born by Jia Min.
After going to the palace to cry for a few days, the servants who went to Baoding to pick him up came back.
He brought back a piece of good news for the Jia family, "Second Mistress is pregnant, and now she can't move easily. Second Mistress said that she will come to greet the old lady after she has a baby."
The old lady was a little unhappy. After being the old lady for so many years, no one has ever dared to be obedient to herself. Just the women of the Wang family, first Mrs. Wang, and then Wang Xifeng...
But it is a good thing to have a baby at home, the old lady put on a smile, "In that case, let Feng girl raise the baby there."
Then he waved his hands and said that he was tired, and let Yuanyang help him back to the bedroom.
Mrs. Wang was also tired all day, and after being supported by the maids to sit on the couch, she called Zhou Rui's family over.
"Didn't you go to Baoding a few days ago? Didn't you see Feng girl? Don't you know that she is so pregnant?"
At this time, Zhou Rui's family was complaining, "I went to see Second Grandma, but Ping'er said that Second Grandma was uncomfortable at this time, so she disappeared, so I went to see Second Master Lian..."
Mrs. Wang snorted, and she didn't know whether the anger was directed at Zhou Rui's family or Jia Lian's couple, "Go to Baoding again and tell Jia Lian in the name of delivering things to Feng girl, where is he now? Bian'er is an official and easy to do things. When the time comes to buy Zhuangzi, we will share it [-]-[-]. Let him suppress the money for buying the land, and whatever is suppressed will be his."
Mrs. Wang thought to herself, these two love money so much, isn't it just for money when they go out to become officials?Give more benefits, and don't worry about them not doing things for themselves.
Zhou Rui's family agreed again, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang, but her face was ugly, so they flattered her.
"I heard that the Empress has been ill for the past few days, and it is our eldest lady who presides over the important affairs in the palace... It seems that our eldest lady has also survived."
Having said that, Mrs. Wang's face was a little smug, "Our girl is finally keeping the clouds open and the moon shining."
He thought in his heart that Jia Min's eldest daughter was his family's nemesis, and if she was sick, it would be her turn to be her daughter.
In my heart, I hope that the empress will continue to be ill for so many years.
However, because the queen is justified after all, Mrs. Wang didn't show much pride on her face. She waved her hand and let Zhou Rui's family go down. The Queen's Division fights.
Mrs. Wang was very happy to let Concubine Jia organize the funeral of Concubine Gui, but the Supreme Emperor was very unhappy.
When Qilin greeted him, the Supreme Emperor asked with a straight face, "Is your mother really sick?"
Qilin didn't rush, "I'm sick, my head is dizzy, and I can't get up now. The imperial doctor told me to rest, because I was thinking about the concubine, and my mother wanted to get up, but every time I got up, the world was spinning. You have to be supported when you walk, so let the grandson come to you to apologize, saying that she is powerless, and let you forgive her this time."
The Empress Dowager felt a little better in his heart, but he was a little unhappy after all, "Your mother's body has always been strong, why is she sick at this time?"
"A few days ago, Xiezhi took a bath at night and made a fuss about playing in the tub. The wet nurse didn't dare to force him out, so she had to tell our queen mother, who went to take him out of the tub, soaked in water. , I didn’t change my clothes later, and the clothes were sticking to my body. When I returned to the palace, I fell ill. At that time, I had a fever and caught a cold. My mother, relying on her strong bones, didn’t take it seriously and didn’t take medicine. She woke up the next day. not coming."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "It's a bit cold now, so you can't take it as seriously as summer. You go back, let your mother recover quickly, and then come out to take care of it when she is well."
Qilin agreed, and walked back out of the Supreme Emperor's palace with a gloomy face, thinking that the Supreme Emperor is really old and confused, and the empress is now pretending to be sick because she doesn't want to take over this matter, it seems that the Supreme Emperor is pressing every step of the way...
As soon as he thought of this, the eunuch reminded Qilin that the carriage frame of the imperial concubine was in front.
Qilin ordered his carriage to be moved aside, waiting for the imperial concubine to pass by.
Who knew that this time the imperial concubine stopped on the road and opened the curtain to talk to Qilin.
"It's been a long time since I saw you brothers. Come and play in my palace when you are free. I heard that His Highness Fifth is quite proficient in poetry. I have a lot of books over there. Let him read it when he is free."
Qi Lin agreed, and after watching the imperial concubine's car drive past, he heard the eunuch beside him whisper, "This empress is shaking now."
Qilin glanced back, wondering what the Concubine Gui had left for her, which made her feel stiff right now... This tone was not at all as humble as before...
Jia Yuanchun also took advantage of this time to take care of things by himself and opened a lot of back doors for the female family members of Rongguo Mansion.
Many edicts knelt to watch the spirit, and the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion could find a remote place to sit.The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone is wearing thick clothes to avoid the cold, even the old lady of Rongguo Mansion and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing are kneeling among everyone, but they can use hot futons...
In addition, the princesses who were married in the previous palace also received preferential treatment, and the concubines and concubines of the princes and counties were also taken care of by Jia Yuanchun.
For a while, many people praised Jia Yuanchun for his virtuousness, which made Jia Yuanchun high-spirited for a while.
Concubine Dong, Concubine Hu, and Concubine Liu can't stand it.While paying her respects, she ran to Linlin, "Mother, there is really no tiger or monkey in the mountains to call you the king. If you continue to be sick like this, our relatives outside will not remember you."
Linlin ignored them and counted with her fingers. This time, she has been crying for more than 10 days. She had a cold a few days ago. If it is not good, others will think she is faking illness.
Then what reason should I use for not coming forward?
Before finding out the reason, Zou Wu started to commit suicide!
This kid heard that the poet Li Taibai could compose a poem after drinking a glass of wine, and he wanted to try it himself, but he got very drunk and ran to the East Palace to make a fuss. Jumping down, saying that he wants to practice peerless lightness skills...
Fortunately, none of the foreign ministers saw him, so the guards of the East Palace took him down while he was climbing the roof, knocked him unconscious, escorted him to the harem, and handed him over to Linlin.
Because he was wrapped in a big quilt when he came, many people thought that the fifth prince was sick, so Linlin used the excuse of taking care of her son, and the cat couldn't come out in Ganlu hall.
When the emperor came back at night, he saw Zou Wu who had woken up and laughed.
Linlin was very angry, "Why are you laughing here instead of teaching him a lesson?"
"People who are not flirtatious are in vain. The two sons in front of us are as boring as the old people. Finally, we have an interesting son. Why can't I laugh?"
"Merry you! He almost broke his leg today. If he is lucky and almost falls from the top and breaks his neck, his life will be gone. You should teach him a lesson. Listen to what you want and want him to go on. Let's die!"
"My lady, don't be angry. The father should educate him about this kind of thing. Go and extinguish the fire first, and wait for me to talk to him."
Bai Ze helped Linlin to sit aside, "Mother, everything should be seen from the outside. From the outside, it seems that Zou Wu got drunk and went to the East Palace to get drunk. From the perspective of his status, he will be the one who is going to be in the future." That is, a prince, but ran into the prince's palace and made a scene.
From an emotional point of view, if something happens to him in the East Palace, then there will be troubles between our mother, son and brother... The person behind the plan is ruthless, killing three birds with one stone, and plotting against you and your elder brother and fifth younger brother at once. "
"Don't I know? You've seen it too. Your brother is stupid. This time he's lucky. What will happen next time? It's easy to find out who is behind it. The key is to let your brother understand these things by himself."
"Upbringing a younger brother is originally the mother's business, but it is a matter between us brothers to give him a sigh of relief. Brothers should work together... You don't have to worry about this matter, the son and the eldest brother will naturally take care of it. "
Speaking of this, Qilin hurried back from the outside, greeted Linlin first, and then ran to see Zou Wu.
Zou Wu shook his head, wrapped in a quilt, and was being slapped on the head by the emperor to teach him a lesson. When he saw the unicorn, he called out to Big Brother with teary eyes.
Qilin could only sigh heavily.
Then Qilin took Zou Wu and Bai Ze out, leaving only Linlin and the emperor in the palace.
The emperor was quite pleased, "Seeing that these little meatballs have grown up and know how to tell right from wrong, my heart is warm..."
"The two big ones are the only ones who can tell right from wrong, and the two small ones don't make any sense now."
"Don't be angry, although we didn't give birth to a girl who is caring and caring to us, but a son has the benefits of a son. Even the fifth child would stand up and resist when he learned that his mother had an accident. Not to mention that our two sons can go to sea. Catch a dragon and go up a mountain to bring down a tiger."
After speaking, they put their arms around Linlin's shoulders, and the two sat quietly in the palace.
That night, in the mourning hall of the Concubine Gui, the old palace servants of the Concubine Gui were punished by King Wu because they were not crying enough.
Concubine Jia naturally disagreed, and told King Wu that when the old concubine Gui Taifei passed away, she said that these people would not be allowed to guard the spirit.
King Wu smiled and refuted her, "Grand Concubine Gui was already confused when she said this to you. How could I prevent them from going to the imperial tomb to guard the people I have used all my life...not to mention that everyone in the Zhen family To go to the imperial mausoleum, don't these old servants of the Zhen family have more face than those old masters?"
Distinguishing is not allowed after speaking, and people will pick up these people and send them on the road immediately.
As for whether these people can survive on the road, it really depends on their own luck.
That night, in Ganlu Hall, a quarrel broke out between the emperor and Bai Ze.
The emperor meant to keep these people. Without these people, how would the imperial concubine communicate with those people outside.
Bai Ze felt that the sky was big and the earth was big, and his parents and brothers were the biggest. He knew that these people were going to kill him, so why not keep them if he didn't kill them sooner?
Qilin sat between the two of them with his head down and didn't speak.The emperor kicked him, "What do you say?"
Qilin told the truth, "I asked my second brother to do this."
The emperor angrily told the two brothers to get out together.
Qilin sighed, "Father is now worried about the navy in the south, or else my son will go to the south to supervise the battle in person, and our manpower will be enough to swallow the navy."
Bai Ze also said, "Follow father's Huairou method, maybe these people will continue to play for 10 years and 8 years, can't we make them sick every day for these 10 years and 8 years?"
"That's what my ancestors did."
Qilin retorted to the emperor, "The ancestors did this because they were not sure to fight with them to determine the outcome. Now that we have the strength to compete with them, why do we still use the old Huairou formula."
Bai Ze also said, "Just like the matter of the Zhen family, as long as we copy the Zhen family, as for those trivial matters, we can deal with them slowly."
The emperor slapped each of his two sons on the head, "You in the south can't start the war lightly. Once the war in the south is stalemate, those barbarians in the north will go south. The people in the north and the dynasties have fought hard. The handover is open, and once the war starts, have you thought about how much money it will cost?
In addition to the north and the west, when the time comes, the King of the West will turn against him..."
Qilin had known for a long time that King Xi had taken refuge in his father, so he didn't answer. Bai Ze couldn't help it, "Then the son is going to the south, and we will attack the navy from the sea in the name of water pirates. Pustules, one battle can seal the world."
"Children's words." The emperor flicked his sleeves, "Get out, get out, I'm upset to see you."
The two brothers were kicked out together, Bai Ze looked back at the palace, and couldn't help whispering in Qilin's ear, "I think Father is raising tigers to make trouble."
Qilin glared at him.
The emperor returned to the bedroom angrily, and yelled at Linlin, "Look at your wonderful son! It's so annoying!"
Linlin felt baffled, you obviously praised them for being considerate yesterday afternoon, why do you find these two people annoying now?
Quickly asked the emperor what happened, the emperor refused to disclose, angrily lifted the quilt and lay down to sleep.
After Qilin returned to the East Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that today's proposal was more correct.
Boys have a strong heart to win, and Qilin wants to see how his big boats cut through the waves on the sea.
I kept thinking about this matter, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight. The next day, I followed the emperor to the court to observe the government.
As for the matter of going to the south, I put it in my heart, and this matter is like grass growing in my heart, the longer it grows, the taller it is.
King Wu didn't need to go to the court to observe politics. This was also the emperor's selfish intention. He wanted the prince to establish his own team and troops in the court earlier, so he postponed the time for the second and third children to enter the court.
The two brothers are still working as petty officials in Shuntian Mansion bitterly.
This day, the third prince saw that the second prince was a little out of his mind, so he sat down and asked him, "What's wrong with the second brother? I feel a little unhappy today."
Bai Ze snorted, "Isn't it because Lao Wu was used as a gun a few days ago and almost jumped off the roof of the East Palace. It's good luck to be a fool, I'm afraid I'll kick my legs to the ground in one breath."
After thinking about it for a while, the third prince knew that he couldn't swallow this breath, "What does the second brother want to do? Just tell the younger brother, the younger brother is the only one in front of you."
Bai Ze curled his lips, and put his arm around the Third Prince's shoulder, "It's better for us to have a good relationship."
"That is, we are shoulder-to-shoulder brothers. We grew up together, so our relationship will naturally get better."
"I heard that your daughter-in-law is in Baoding now?"
"Ask her why?"
"Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is my cousin. She is really a blood-related cousin. I won't harm her... I heard that your father-in-law's family hid in Baoding because of the imperial concubine..."
Bai Ze raised his eyebrows at the third prince.
The third prince was also quite upbeat, "You mean we can vent our anger on the members of the Jia family, it's not impossible... But second brother, what we do is a bit like a child acting on his own will. If we want to do it, we have to be serious. It's only a big event, the Jia family... a bit unqualified."
"You don't understand this. As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting three inches, where the three inches of the imperial concubine is located, it is in the Rongguo Mansion.
I can understand that you want to do something big. How can you make Rongguo Mansion so big?The highest official position in their family is a fifth-rank official... Comparing with a fifth-rank official will make you look cheap. "
"I think we both have a bit of pettiness, but pettiness has its refreshing aspect, so what do you think about it?"
Bai Ze looked up to see if there was no one around, "The two of us haven't come to work these few days, we sneaked out. I heard that Jia Baoyu is not a good bird, let's trick him out and beat him up."
"Second brother... your method..."
"The two of us went to fight in person. It is said that it is more refreshing to do it ourselves."
As soon as the third prince heard it, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Sure enough, the two of them didn't come to work on the second day. Others didn't take these two petty officials seriously, but Concubine Yan stared at them.
Yan Yu was reading the files in the lobby, and when he heard that the two little guys hadn't come, he hurriedly asked someone to go to the palace to ask.
The news from the palace came quickly, saying that the two princes had gone out as usual.
The son-in-law was a little anxious, thinking that the identities of these two people must have been exposed by leaking the news.
Quickly mobilize people to look for these two people. Many people in Shuntian Prefecture know the local snakes in the capital, and the black and white are dispatched together, and news spreads soon.
Then he immediately changed his clothes, and personally took someone to the restaurant to catch these two boys.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Yu drove the others out, "You two little ancestors, what do you want to do today? Why don't you go to work? Be careful, I will go to the Long Live Lord to sue."
"Brother-in-law, don't call us our ancestors, you and us are of the same generation."
"I want to kneel down for you two now. If something happens to you...have you ever thought about me?"
The two princes gave him a look of disdain.He turned his head and lay down on the window on the second floor of the restaurant to look down.
Yan Yu followed the two of them to look down, "What are you staring at, what's interesting down here?"
The third prince said on the sidelines, "Ever since I heard that my daughter-in-law has a younger brother or younger sister, I often send people to deliver things to them. Once someone came back and told me that a person surnamed Lai often went to my father-in-law to ask for an official. I found out after inquiring that the man surnamed Lai turned out to be a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, and guess what we found later?"
Yan Yu asked, "What did you find? It's just some sneaky things. I know about these wealthy servants. They never do good things."
Bai Ze tugged at his brother-in-law's clothes, "How much money can a slave have for him to squander. This man has sold some valuable items with a mark on it, and it belongs to the Zhen family."
"Really?"
Bai Ze clapped his hands, someone came in from the outside, took out a pair of gold-inlaid silver chopsticks from his pocket, and handed them to the son-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, take a look, this is the harvest we just got today."
The third prince also said at the same time, "My second brother and I wanted to beat Jia Baoyu today, but we didn't expect to catch a big fish. Let's follow the vine. Don't you want the property of the Zhen family? Maybe you can get it from the Lai family." Pry it out from the person."
"Don't talk nonsense, both of you, this is stolen money. I don't touch a cent of it. It will be handed over to the national treasury." After speaking, he uncovered the cloth and saw this pair of chopsticks. Obvious scalding marks spoil the overall aesthetics of this pair of chopsticks.
"This……"
Bai Ze jumped up and stepped on the stool, putting one arm on Yan Yu's shoulder, "Brother-in-law doesn't know, every family with a name and surname wants to pass on their own family, so there are family marks on the things you buy, what's the matter?" Hall numbers and house names are cast down and passed down from generation to generation.
For example, when I was crowned king of Wu, my eldest brother and queen mother had people buy these things for me, including daily use and sacrificial supplies.The same is true for the Zhen family, the traces of being scalded are their hall name. "
Yan Yu recalled that the things he had seized in Jiangnan were not marked, "So, what they wanted to pass on was sent to each family."
"That's right, unless the people from these families take over these things and melt everything into gold and mercury water and re-cast them, otherwise, these things will bear the imprint of the Zhen family all over them, you see
