Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.
The Queen Mother invited all the concubines and concubines to hold a banquet together, and even Concubine Wan outside the palace and Concubine Han, who had not come out for a long time, came.
At the same time, in the imperial study, several princes were also talking about this matter together.
"The queen mother, this is magnificent. Chu Lin shook his fan and praised the Queen Mother without hesitation, this is a sincere praise, and the Queen Mother deserves it.
Just like Dong Qinghe said to Ai Yu, the Queen Mother is telling the later palace concubines, don't count on making waves all day long and going against others, it's good, everyone is good to each other.
In addition, this is also a means of breaking the ancestral rules to usher in the support of the people, you must know that the emperor has won a lot of praise by buying the things of the Medicine King Valley and selling them to ordinary people.
Many ordinary people don't know the so-called royal rules, and they seem to have good rules.
A widow in someone else's family, whose husband is dead and has no children herself, can also marry outside, after all, there is no reason to keep it for a lifetime.
This royal family doesn't say that you can't marry outside, you can't even let others out of the door.
Not to mention, this incident really made other people change their minds about the royal family, and their thoughts about the royal family are much better.
Not only that, but the ladies of other families are also more willing to marry into the palace, at least it's really not good, and there's a rush.
"Sister Wan and Sister Han, I used to envy you, but now, I don't envy you. ”
This is a concubine, the aunt and grandmother of the Li family, and she still has her old mother at home, so she can also go to meet her old mother this time.
The Li family is a famous family, how many years of inheritance, farther than the royal family, she did not give birth to a child, when she entered the palace, Cui Huang Guifei was already the first person on the top, she has never had a chance to get ahead, fortunately, she is in her mother's family, and her position is also high.
"This is also given by the Queen Mother, a blessing for all of us. Concubine Han smiled, she was originally a daughter of a general, but she was not favored by the family, and after her mother's family was defeated, she lived in the palace in a simple place, and when she arrived at the palace, she was much more low-key than Concubine Wan.
"That's it, fortunately, we met a good queen mother, and all the sisters are relaxed. ”
Concubine Wan laughed, she gave birth to three princes, the first concubine of the first emperor to grow up, where is a good one to mess with.
Even if she is the queen mother, she has to give her two faces, mainly because she is the cousin of the first emperor, the niece of the late queen mother, and her mother is a sister to the late queen mother.
What's more, her family is also a local wealthy family, and she has a lot of power.
"It's all thanks to the blessings of the Queen Mother, the emperor, and the first emperor. ”
Concubine Hui laughed, she was also very happy, at least, outside, she could better protect her daughter in the future.
The Queen Mother is at the top, Tongliang Taigui Concubine is talking, Liangtai Guifei is also her person, she is specially used to deal with Cui Huang Guifei, you must know that Cui Huang Guifei is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and Liang Tai Guifei can be used to deal with her, naturally it is not simple.
She is the youngest of all the concubines and concubines, and the daughter of the fifth princess.
The fifth princess is the youngest of all the children of the first emperor, younger than the fourth princess of Emperor Cui's concubine, and the other princesses are already in the middle of the year, leaving her daughter, who is several years younger than the others.
You must know that Emperor Cui Guifei has given birth to a child and is already standing firm, even the queen is losing and retreating, but the concubine Liangtai can give birth to a daughter safely, which shows that it is not a simple one.
"Thank you Queen Mother, Ying'er is still young, I can also take her out to see more. "The fifth eldest princess, Princess Ying, is the daughter of the noble concubine of Liangtai and the youngest child of the first emperor.
Princess Ying is the youngest, and she is even more favored by the Queen Mother than the second eldest princess of Concubine Jing.
"Why didn't you bring Ying'er today?"
The Queen Mother smiled and asked her, she really liked the innocent Princess Ying.
"Isn't it a gathering of us today, what are you going to do with her, play by yourself in the palace, you won't be hungry anyway. ”
"And where are you going in the future, home?"
"I want to go home to live, but I just live for a while, after all, I am married, and there is no reason to live in my mother's house all the time. Mrs. Liang's concubine smiled and wanted to go back to her parents' house, but she couldn't live permanently, so she could take her daughter back to live occasionally.
She wants to maintain a proud posture, after all, she is already a member of someone else's family, and if she wants to gain more respect in the family, she can only let the family keep a low profile towards her, and ask for him to be too noble.
"Brother Huang, this time is really good, Ying'er will be very happy, I will take her to my palace for a walk. ”
He is the youngest son, and Ying'er is the youngest daughter, and they have always been the best between them.
"I'm going to take her to see my palace, and my mother will be happy. ”
"Why don't you want to think about the other two sisters?" Chu Lin continued to shake his fan and said slowly.
"Well, isn't there still you as the royal brother? Chu Han laughed, with a flattering face.
Chu Ji shook his head, really, these three people are really, and the three younger brothers are all headaches.
Chu Chen also shook his head, "Okay, it's better to do your own thing, and if you have nothing to do, come and help me deal with political affairs." ”
"The third emperor brother has always said that he is powerful, so it is better to let him help the imperial brother. Chu Han directly pushed Chu Lin out, he didn't want to do this, he was a poor child without a mother.
Among all the living brothers and sisters, only the fourth princess born to him and Emperor Cui Guifei has no mother.
"I'll only be in the wind and snow, it's okay for the royal brother to ask me which young lady is the most beautiful, and the rest is estimated to be impossible, the royal brother has already drafted the show, and even this is saved. ”
The rest of Chu Yuan touched his head and smiled, it was well known that he didn't like this.
"Alright. Chu Chen glanced at them complainingly, "Even the second brother can still use it, you guys, one by one." ”
Chu Lin glanced at him with a smile, because only the second emperor brother is your own brother.
"Just let the younger brother be an idle prince. By the way, your brother-in-law is a real talent. Chu Lin directly sold Dong Qingdu.
"It's not that you don't know, it's better for me not to appear in front of Qingdu now. Chu Chen is very self-aware, and it is better for him not to talk to Dong Qingdu alone at present.
Qingdu doesn't like these things, and the people in their family have never interfered in political affairs. Chu Chen shook his head, this brother-in-law is not of much help in this regard.
Chu Han puffed up his mouth, "Since the Third Emperor Brother hopes so much, I will definitely help you convey this as a younger brother." ”
"You boy, don't forget that I'm your brother. Chu Lin smiled, forgetting that this person was Dong Qingdu's little follower.
"Don't say anything else, if you have to salute the eldest lady of the Dong family in the future, the sixth brother must turn the conversation around. Chu Xuan interjected and instructed Chu Han.
"Okay. ”
Chu Han smiled happily.
He likes such royal brothers, but, I'm afraid, it's also because they don't have other conflicts of interest at this time.
Chu Lin said with a disdainful face: "This king is still afraid that he will not succeed." ”
Even the most honest Chu Yuan couldn't help but tear down his platform: "Brother Huang, I remember what you said today." ”
"Hahaha. ”
Several people laughed, this is really a duck's mouth, even Chu Chen, the emperor Dong Qingdu, is not afraid, let alone Chu Lin, not to mention, only Dong Qingdu is really the only one to clean up his share.
After all, the things that Chu Lin wants every day are all in the Dong family's shop, and he likes the Dong family's things.
Taijing City.
Taijing City is the most prosperous city in the Xia Kingdom, and it is also the imperial city of the Xia Kingdom, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no bigger city than Taijing in the entire Xia Kingdom.
At the beginning, Taijing City was divided into four places, east, west, north and south, and of course the imperial palace was in the middle.
As a result, people slowly lived more and more chaotic, and they didn't distinguish so clearly, and they all lived casually.
Today, Chu Chen asked Chu Chen to accompany him and come out to inquire about his people.
After all, they are brothers with Chu Han, these people have the habit of running out, Chu Chen has a lot of political affairs, and he always finds time to come out.
The queen mother knew that she just told her second son to follow him more, don't let him suffer, after all, not everyone is kind, in case something happens, there are more people who want to kill the emperor.
Chu Chen often asks Chu Chen to follow when he goes out, brother, it doesn't matter.
This street is very prosperous, and it is a street where the south and west sides meet, and there are many famous shops in it.
Chu Chen came all the way and chose a small gourd, thinking that he could take it out and fill some wine, he heard that there were people in the rivers and lakes who took gourds to hold wine and drink, and he also wanted to try it.
Along the way, Chu Chen became more and more happy, and he didn't see that the people were very happy along the way, which was all due to him, the emperor.
As an emperor, it is his best thing for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and he didn't see these people still dressed well.
It's just that some of them are still begging in tattered clothes.
Chu Chen originally thought that they were all his people, and he would help them when he came out before, until he was stopped by Dong Qingdu once.
Dong Jia Shan Tang is definitely a good place, there is never a time when you don't help the people, unless you are really dead, these people don't go to Dong Jia Shan Tang to ask for help, but they come out to beg, either they are unwilling to do things, or they deliberately come out to beg, after all, there are many dignitaries and nobles in Taijing City, and throwing a little silver is enough for them for a few months.
After knowing this, he almost didn't make Chu Chen angry, it turned out that there were still such people.
If it weren't for Chu Ji to stop him, he would have almost notified the yamen to bring them back and force them to earn money on their own.
I came all the way here today, but it was all right, and I helped up the fallen figure of a child who was in a hurry, and caught the egg that an old man was about to drop.
This is a trivial matter that is good for the people, Chu Chen is very happy with it, and always feels that he is the performance of Mingjun.
Chu Ji couldn't cry or laugh, this imperial brother has really been in the palace for a long time, and he met him too much.
"What is this place?"
Chu Chen pointed to a large building in front of him and asked Chu Xu, Taijing City is too big, and Chu Xu's family is in Beicheng, so he hasn't been here much.
"This is a study, if nothing else, it should be your father-in-law's property. ”
Chu Xuan replied to him leisurely, it seems that he had heard Dong Qingdu mention that it was his family.
Chu Chen had some impulse to help his forehead, if he wanted to say that, his father-in-law's family would have more property, not to mention this place.
Even this street may be his father-in-law's house.
There are a lot of sons outside this study, and this study is actually an old industry, Juwenzhai.
Originally, it was called Jubunkaku, but later it was called Zhai because it does not sell fakes, defective products, and things of unknown origin, which is an honorific title for Jubunjae's strict sales system.
Because this place is not a place where the Dong family sells things, in fact, it can also be called a place for trading.
Some students, they want to make money, and there is no other way, the fact that they sell words on the street is insulting, and some people are unwilling to sell their own things because of various things, such as poor health or offending the powerful.
They chose to hand over their works to Juwenzhai, and Juwenzhai helped them sell them, but they wanted a half percent, of course, old friends only needed one percent.
Juwenzhai has a good reputation, many people are willing to buy, and they are all Sven people, they will not insult their own works, and they can also create in the room.
If you want to enter Juwenzhai, you also need some thresholds.
Because it not only does these transactions, but also buys some paintings and calligraphy for sale, and even invites some Confucians to sit in the town, because there are many scholars here, the Confucians are happy to give advice.
For example, some old gentlemen who are idle at home, the old lady is a frequent visitor here, the old lady has also been here, and Master Zhou has also been here several times.
There is even a precedent for being accepted as a disciple by Master Zhou because he got the blue eyes of Master Zhou here.
Therefore, it is very famous among scholars.
But what kind of people are these two people, not to mention the soldiers who have not been officials, even ordinary officials can't get into their eyes.
"Then let's go in and have a look. ”
Chu Chen said, he was quite interested and wanted to take a look.
"Hmm. ”
Chu Ji in the back nodded, and the two brothers were sick with four or five subordinates coming over to Juwenzhai.
At the door of Juwenzhai, someone is guarding the door, with a table and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"What is this?" Chu Chen asked his younger brother behind him.
"This is their rule here, if you want to go in, you have to tell them that you are a cultural person, at least you have to show a beautiful hand, some people can write a poem, but as long as you get the approval of outsiders to go in, you can take what you write, you don't have to stay, of course, officials and some Confucians who know each other. ”
Chu Xuan explained, because it is not only men who come here, there are some girls who will also come, so it is embarrassing to take other people's ink treasures.
Chu Chen wrote a poem that he thought was written by one of his ancestors. Chu Ji wrote a sentence, and the guards who followed behind also wrote a paragraph silently before entering.
Juwenzhai's requirements are not very high, not to mention that Chu Chen is also going to go in to buy things, where will there be half a point of obstruction.
Chu Chen went in with the mentality of taking a look, and it really didn't disappoint him.
It's very big, it can be said that there is really everything, and a lot of people on the first floor are consigned by others, saying that they are selling, but there are many people who sell the conditions are very harsh.
Some even directly say that they don't sell it, they just want to hang here to make their reputation, this kind of is not allowed unless it is particularly good, even if it is really good, it can only be put for a while.
