The fifth prince returned to the palace that day and came to the palace of the mother concubine, he knew that the mother concubine was not a favor in the harem, and she was a quiet character who did not fight or rob, and it was precisely because of her temperament that the mother and son survived in this deceitful harem. When Concubine Zhuang saw her son coming to ask for peace, her expression was a little different from before, as if she was in the mood.

After the palace maids served good refreshments, she skimmed the scarlet color of the palace maids. Scarlet didn't need Concubine Zhuang to say anything, so she took the palace people in the house down, as the master's confidant, she knew what to do with one look.

Concubine Zhuang brought the tea to her son and asked, "What's wrong with you?" But I don't like your uncle's cousin, if you really don't like it, the concubine will go back to your aunt, and it's nothing." "Today, I sent my son to pick up my mother's daughter to go to the wharf outside the city to go to the dragon boat race, but also saved a mood, my niece and son are of the same age, and they are also beautiful and moon-looking, and the mother's family wants to marry the niece to the grandson of the prince, for the mother's family, she is dispensable, the elder brother is just an official position of the fifth grade, and the niece really wants to enter the son's backyard, and it is best to be afraid that she can only be a side concubine.

Situ Rui listened to his mother's words, he didn't even remember what that cousin looked like, how could he talk about whether he liked it or not, at this time her mind was full of Jia Yu's sister's shadows, and she sighed: "My mother is not my cousin's business, I, I saw a girl at the dock today, I thought, I want to" Before the words were finished, she blushed.

Concubine Zhuang looked at her son's embarrassed appearance, as well as his words, it turned out that his son had grown up, and he had a sweetheart, thinking of this, there was a sour taste in his heart, but in the end, it was his son who first took a fancy to a girl, and suppressed his sour anger and asked: "What girl, what is your family background, and what is your temperament?"

"She is Jia Yu's sister and the concubine of Rong Guogong, I'm afraid my father won't agree. Situ Rui voiced his concerns.

Concubine Zhuang just heard that she was the concubine of Rongguo Gong, and she was happy in her heart, if her son really married her as a concubine, then Rongguo Mansion would become a great help to her son, but when she heard her son mention the saint, she also knew that if her son really wanted to marry Miss Jia, he had to get the permission of the saint, but that Rongguo Mansion was different from other mansions, and the saint was afraid that it would be difficult for the saint to agree to his son's marriage.

"Rui'er, the mother concubine can only do her best in this matter, if it doesn't work, it means that you have a fate with Miss Najia, you have to know it in your heart. Concubine Zhuang said worriedly.

"The son knew about it and bothered the mother. ”

After that, because the saint had been busy with the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River, he rarely came to the harem, and Concubine Zhuang couldn't find the opportunity to go to the saint to test. And her son also has to accompany the saint to the south of the Yangtze River, and she is even more busy taking care of her son's travel things.

On the day of Emperor Kangqing's departure, the crown prince sent him outside the city with hundreds of officials who stayed in the capital. Emperor Kang Qing patted the crown prince, who was about the same height as him, and instructed: "I will be at least three months this time, and at most half a year, you need to take care of the affairs of the court and politics, but you can't disappoint your father." ”

"Please rest assured that the son will take care of the government and share the worries of his father. The prince bowed.

"That's good. Looking at the crown prince, who was somewhat similar to him, he was relieved. Later, he turned to the courtiers and said: "You are the pillar of my Daewoo Dynasty, and after I left Beijing, I worked together to assist the prince in supervising the country." ”

"The ministers obeyed. Behind the crown prince, dozens of civil ministers and military attachés knelt down one after another in response.

"Jia Daishan. ”

"The minister is here. Hearing the sage's call, Jia Daishan hurriedly went out to salute.

"After I leave, the safety of this capital will be in your hands, and I hope that when I return, the capital will still be the same capital as it is now. Emperor Kangqing said meaningfully, and after speaking, he glanced at the ministers with a fierce look, and went to the dragon. Everyone waited for Emperor Kangqing to go away before returning to the city.

Zhang Changgong looked at the impressive procession that meandered for several miles, sighed in his heart, shook his head, Jia Daishan happened to look at him next to him with a gloomy face, "What's wrong with you, in-laws?"

Zhang Changgong shook his head, and only then said: "Xing, the people are suffering, and when they die, the people are suffering." I don't know if the saint understands this truth. After saying that, he looked at the team that had gone away.

When Jia Daishan heard this, he thought about it, looked at the team in the distance, and sighed: "In-laws, we are courtiers, it is our duty to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and a saint is a saint after all, and we can't do anything else." ”

Zhang Changgong also knew that what he said was reasonable, there were too many powerless things for a courtier, so he pressed his mind and went back to the city with Jia Daishan.

In the Lin family's study, Lin Ruhai was reading the letterhead presented by Lin An, looking at what was written on it, the heart that had been falling all the time finally fell, and it had been busy for almost a year, and the people in this Hades Pavilion had finally been arranged, and from now on, there would be no Hades Pavilion in this world. Although the Hades were dismissed on the surface, in fact, they were just divided into zero distributions, but the overall strength of the Hades Pavilion was still preserved, which was a good thing for the Lin family.

Lin An looked at his master with some embarrassment, and he didn't know whether to talk to his uncle when he heard it outside.

"Uncle An, what else is going on?" Maybe Lin An's vision was too hot, and Lin Ruhai couldn't ignore it if he wanted to, so he had to ask helplessly.

"Uncle, the matter of this Hades Pavilion is over, is it okay to go to Rongguo Mansion to propose. Miss Jia is also fourteen years old, and several mansions in the capital are fighting the idea of Rongguo Mansion, and there is also news from the palace that the fifth prince seems to have taken a fancy to Miss Jia. If this matter continues, I am afraid that it will be endless trouble. "The wife of the proposed family was ready after the uncle's move, and I originally wanted the uncle to go to Jia's house to propose marriage as soon as he was moved, so as to settle the family affairs of the Lin and Jia families, but I thought that the uncle would delay the family affairs because of the matter of the Hades Pavilion, although the wife was in a hurry, but she still listened to the uncle's words and postponed the proposal.

"Yes, it's time to go to Jia's house to propose marriage, it just so happens that the saint is not in Beijing now, so it is convenient. "His family affairs are not only Lin An anxious, but his mother is also very anxious, since he said that he wanted to postpone the proposal, every time he asks his mother for peace, he always wants to say something and stops.

"Really, uncle. Lin An, who thought he would refuse, said happily with Lin Ruhai's consent, "The old slave will let people go and talk to his wife, let his wife choose a good day, and then invite an iceman to go to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage." After speaking, he hurriedly saluted Lin Ruhai and went out, and his happy expression was a few points better than his own big fat boy.

The study returned to tranquility, and Lin Ruhai also took off his disguise, sitting on the chair with a blank face, thinking in his heart what kind of person his future wife, Jia Min, the concubine of Rongguo Mansion, would be. The early death of his father had to make him grow up quickly, but how stable he was in front of outsiders, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy now, and he has also had fantasies about people who will accompany him for a lifetime. Although he respects his mother very much and is filial to his mother, he does not want his wife to live like his mother all her life, and she loses her focus when her father dies and even has no courage to live.

Of course, it would be better if there were some talents to learn, two people in their spare time to make tea in the spring, listen to the rain in the summer, listen to the flute in the autumn, and look for plum blossoms in the snow, so that living a life is also a kind of enjoyment. Although he had also heard every word of Miss Jia from his mother, he was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, which made his mother very satisfied. Mrs. Najia was born in the Meng family in Shandong, and the girl raised by her is not picky.

Mrs. Lin received that her son was going to Jia's house to propose, and she liked it very much, she had been looking forward to such a day for a long time, but let her wait. Although the two family affairs were set by the old man and Rong Guogong before his death, but the etiquette of keeping is also to be kept, who should this iceman invite, it is best to be familiar with both families, she thought about all the relatives and friends in her mind, and really did not find a suitable person, which made her a little worried, but she thought of Lin Ruhai's husband for a while, 'one day as a teacher, a father for life' Hai'er's marriage is also to talk to Mr. first, and then see that he has no suitable person to go to Rongguo Gong to propose.

Lin Ruhai's husband's surname is Xu, his name is sincere, and his character is Xin. The champion of the first year of Kangqing, resigned after disliking the court fight, opened a museum at home to teach, and became a great Confucian because of his growing fame, and accepted Lin Ruhai as a disciple because of the trust of Jing'an Hou before his death. Xu Zixin opened the letterhead sent by the Lin Mansion, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and was caught by Mrs. Xu on the side, "Master, but what happened?"

"It's okay, Mrs. Lin found a relative for Ruhai, and she couldn't find a suitable person as an iceman for a while, so she wanted to ask me if there was a good candidate. It's just that the Lin family's in-laws who are going to marry me are a little surprised. Xu Zixin explained to his wife and handed over the letterhead.

"Really, this is a good thing, Ruhai's child is so old, and it is time to marry. Although she is her husband's disciple, she is also loved by Lin Ruhai's own child, and she is also a good child, if she doesn't have a girl in her own family, she really doesn't want to be cheap, she was also a little surprised, "Master, how did the Lin family find such an in-laws, these two have never heard of communication." "Mrs. Xu didn't expect that the Lin family was going to propose marriage to the daughter of Rongguo Mansion, and it stands to reason that the two families are not compatible.

"When Jing'an Hou was alive, Rong Guogong went to visit, could it be that the two families had already agreed at that time. Xu Zixin thought about it and asked.

"Okay, no matter what, Rongguo Mansion is also a good family of in-laws, and the Lin family's knot is also helpful to Ruhai, sir, you still have to think about what suitable people there are, so that you can reply to Mrs. Lin." "Mrs. Xu is a cheerful person, and she also knows that Lin Jia's matter has been decided, so she is no longer entangled, but just urges her husband to choose a suitable person.

"Speaking of which, I really have the right person here. Xu Zixin touched his beard and said.

"Who?"

"Fang Ziqi, he was originally a military advisor under the account of the Duke of Rong, and he was also the mentor of the eldest son of the Duke of Rongguo, so it is most appropriate to ask him for help in this matter. Xu Zixin said with a smile.

"It turned out to be him, but I'm afraid that this matter still needs the master to come forward, and the orphans and widows of the Lin family are afraid that it is not easy to come forward. Mrs. Xu thought for a moment before saying.

"Ruhai is my disciple, and this is just a matter of raising your hands. Xu Zixin didn't care.

Xu Zixin gave Fang Ziqi a message on the same day, and came to the door the next day. Fang Ziqi greeted him in front of the gate, and when he saw the carriage of the Xu Mansion, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Zixin, what a rare guest." ”

Xu Zixin replied: "Brother Ziqi, it's a shame to say that my brother also has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

"Where is this, what is there or talk about it in the house. Then he led the people into the house.

"I don't know what Zixin came here today?" The two sat down, served tea, and asked Fang Ziqifang.

"It's just because my brother and a disciple want to trouble Brother Ziqi. Xu Zixin took a sip of the teacup and said, "I don't know if Brother Ziqi knows the deceased Jing'anhou?"

Speaking of which, Jing'an Hou was also a glorious figure back then, but it's a pity that the sky is not a holiday. Fang Ziqi still admired Jing'anhou, and his words were filled with deep regret, "Could it be that Brother Chengzi's disciple is the only son of Jing'anhou? I didn't expect it to be Brother Zixin's disciple, congratulations to Brother Zixin for having a good disciple. ”

"Alas, if it weren't for his young age, the Lin family needed him to support him, and my brother didn't want him to go to the imperial examination at a young age, it was not a good thing to be famous at a young age. Xu Zixin sighed: "To get back to the point, now I want to ask my brother to propose marriage for Ruhai for the iceman." "Tell Lin Jia about getting married directly.

"Ha, ha, ha. Good thing, good thing, this family business is very good in the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family. Fang Ziqi smiled after hearing this, but secretly said in his heart that Rong Guogong was really vicious, and he actually found such a family as the Lin family. The Lin family died because of Jing'anhou, and it looks like the curtain is a little over, but it is not true, the Lin family has been passed down for five generations, compared to other families, the Lin family is a single transmission of five generations, after the accumulation of five generations, there are no side branches, and the rich heritage can be seen, "I should do this." ”

On the auspicious day selected by the Lin family, Fang Ziqi took gifts to Rongguo Mansion on behalf of the Lin family. Jia Daishan also knew in advance that the Lin family was coming to propose marriage today, so he took leave in advance and waited at home for the Lin family to come to the door. To be honest, he was relieved to receive the Lin family's request to propose marriage, there are too many people who have come to inquire about Jia Min's relatives these days, and he is about to be unable to withstand it. Even the crown prince, who usually has little contact with the ministers of the court, stepped forward to ask a few words, and brought up his real heart, he never thought of marrying his pampered eldest daughter into the royal family. If the Lin family doesn't move again, he can't care about whether the woman is reserved or not, and goes directly to the Lin family to ask them when they are going to propose.

But fortunately, the Lin family finally moved, but when he saw that the iceman invited by the Lin family was actually Fang Ziqi, he was still a little surprised. Fang Ziqi said with a smile: "Rong Guogong is not harmed, congratulations, but I have a fast son-in-law." ”

Jia Daishan also smiled: "I am happy and happy, I didn't think it was a chess game to propose marriage." The two of them were reserved for a while. Originally, the two family affairs had been decided a long time ago, but today it was just a formality, and so far the family affairs of Lin Jia and Jia have also been officially decided.
