Chapter 66: Mother-Daughter Conspiracy
Aunt Liu is a small family, Wei Qian was afraid that she would teach Wei Ling badly, and wanted to take Wei Ling with her to teach. As a result, Aunt Liu sprinkled on the spot, saying that Wei Qian looked down on her half of the elders. Wei Qian's face was thin, and when she saw that she finally alarmed the old lady, she was afraid that something would happen, so she didn't bother to care. In the past few years, Wei Ling has followed Aunt Liu and learned some scheming methods.
The mother and daughter stood in the corner and eavesdropped on the people inside.
Wei Qian frowned, hinting to Jia Mei that the mother and daughter left temporarily under the pretext of watching the garden. Mrs. Wei called Wei Ying and let Jia Lian and Wei Ying get close.
Ruiming Palace is a rebuilt palace, and the backyard is larger than Jiafu. The mother and daughter were walking in the garden, and Wei Qian said: "Mother, my daughter has hurt the family in Beijing this time, and I apologize to you here." β
"Family, it doesn't matter, but there are some things that the mother will ask directly!" Jia Mei looked stern: "When your grandmother and I came, the Queen Mother also hinted at something, and the two of us rushed to bring the whole family over for the sake of the end." What, you don't want to marry? β
"It's all over now, and now it's not okay if you don't get married." Wei Qian sighed lightly, isn't she unwilling to marry, she is too good, and she can't support herself?
"I think His Majesty is good to you, we also helped him a lot at the beginning, and you also have a share of credit for his accession to the throne. Even if he enters the palace, will he dare to bully you? Jia Mei'e raised her eyebrows: "How good is this majesty?" It's better than your two fiancΓ©s, right? β
"That's good." Seeing Jia Mei's face, Wei Qian knew her mother's plan. Fly on the branches and become a phoenix, this is the ideal of women in this era!
"According to my daughter's means, the queen can also do it!"
Wei Qian hurriedly looked around: "Mother, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. β
"I naturally know that I don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders. But if you talk about your background and status, which point is not worse than the one in the palace? Jia Mei was disdainful, which is also what most noble ladies think today.
Today's queen's identity is really not noble, and many Mrs. Decree looks down on this queen from a small family. If it weren't for Situ Yun's great luck to ascend the throne, what would happen to her? Therefore, each family is secretly preparing to send people into the palace, if they can be a descendant, what kind of style is it?
"After all, this is the queen's mother, and she will have to live under her in the future." Wei Qian smiled bitterly: "By the way, my mother came to Beijing this time, although she is now living in Ruiming Palace, she must not live here permanently." β
"Well, your grandmother and I think so too. When we first came here, we were already preparing to see each other's houses in the city, and we will live in the capital in the future, so that we can be your mother's family for marriage. Thinking of this, Jia Mei smiled: "Did His Majesty tell you, what position do you want to give you?" According to the gift of the side concubine, no matter how bad it is, it should be the master of the first house, right? β
"Presumably one of the nine concubines? After all, there is a marriage contract in front of her, and she ...... "And she cheated Situ Yun at the beginning, no matter how much Situ Yun is, she will not give her much position."
"That's enough. As long as you are not a noble Baolin, you can marry into the palace with dignity. At the beginning, the dowry that Mrs. Huang and I bought for you was transported from Jinling, so you must marry in style! β
"Don't look at the number of nobles in the palace, how many Ming media were marrying when they first got married? My daughter's happy days are yet to come! Jia Mei was happy in her heart, and Wei Qian secretly said that it was not good: according to her mother's thoughts, I am afraid that she is really ready to hang the palace in the future. That's not a good idea.
Wei Qian thought about it and said, "If I enter the palace, I will never interfere with Ying'er's official career in the inner palace." β
In this era, the family is one, and there is a family before there is a country. Jia Mei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Are you afraid that Ying'er will not work hard in your name?" Don't worry, I'm watching with your grandmother here, he can't make trouble. β
"I'm not worried about that." Wei Qian invited Jia Mei to a gazebo. looked around, and said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been so affectionate, my mother sees that he is good to me today, but if he is involved in my defense of the mansion in the future, what do you say he should do?" β
"This ......" Jia Mei was suspicious: "This can't be." As long as His Majesty cherishes his feathers, he will not be too cruel to our family. After all, we helped him so much. β
"Mother believes in the discipline of an emperor?" Wei Qian said disdainfully: "Which emperor has been reliable throughout the ages?" The Han Wu had a murderer, the Tang Emperor had a brother to kill, and the more wise the emperor, the more unreliable. Today, I have used astrology to view his fate, and his fate is evil, but it is unspeakably expensive, the star lord is hooked, and there will be killing and shaking the world in the future. β
"This kind of emperor is really unreliable. With her daughter's thoughts, she has to plan ahead now. β
was frightened by Wei Qian like this, Jia Mei was also a little apprehensive in her heart, yes, how many emperors have been kind and generous throughout the ages? This emperor can be trusted, but what about the next heir?
"What does a daughter mean by giving birth to a son, and we are in charge of the country ourselves?"
"Most of the concubines' mother's family is planning this, so they are even more taboo by the emperor. I, Wei Qian, will I act like ordinary people? I can't look at this Situ Jiangshan yet! Wei Qian smiled mysteriously: "Why does my mother only value Shenzhou, outside of Shenzhou, the four oceans are vast, wouldn't it be beautiful for us to establish ourselves in Nanyang?" β
At first, Jia Mei was a little frightened, but when she heard the latter words, she said disapprovingly: "Where can the Nanyang Islands compare to the prosperity of my Shenzhou?" What do you do in those remote places? β
"For refuge. If the emperor wants to destroy the full gate of our guard, he can leave a inheritance and go overseas for temporary refuge. Wei Qian took Jia Mei's hand, Jia Mei is also old, and her hands are full of wrinkles: "And mother, don't underestimate overseas, the business that our family does depends on Nanyang, don't you know that Nanyang is rich in products?" β
Jia Mei is an understanding person, but in this era, the royal power is supreme and she is afraid of the royal family. But he is not a pedantic person, and he has not yet reached the point where "the monarch and the minister have to die".
"Although overseas products are good, I also know that our living customs are definitely different between the mainland and the open sea. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, where do you come from? β
"If you are free overseas, you can establish a country by occupying just one island. And ......" bowed his head and said in Jia Mei's ear: "It is said that there is a vast continent in the south of the South Seas. The territory is roughly half the size of Shenzhou. Think about it, how many counties are that? If only we could establish our kingdom there. Even if our generation can't complete it, it will be passed on from generation to generation, and one day we won't have to look at the faces of outsiders. What kind of merit is this? Expand the territory, spread another branch of China overseas, and leave a name in history, that is rare. β
Wei Qian blew the territory she hadn't found yet, Jia Mei moved slightly, and Wei Qian made persistent efforts: "And my daughter built a Midway Island with Tao Ping at sea, in order to serve as a transit station to transport goods from Shenzhou." Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can be temporarily transported from Shenzhou, and you can make it yourself when there are more people coming back. β
Wei Qian told all the things about Midway, and Jia Mei was awe-inspiring: "How long have you been preparing for this calculation?" β
"It's been several years." Wei Qian said: "Gentleman's Ze V and beheaded, how long do you think our Wei family can survive in this dynasty?" Within three generations, there will be no one from our Wei family in the government and the opposition. Rather than decline at that time, it is better to fight for a leisurely time overseas. β
"Especially since my brother is still young. Mother is not too old, even if she goes to live in Midway now, no one can object to calling herself the queen, right? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, could it be that His Majesty really sent troops overseas for the sake of a projectile land? β
Jia Mei's heart was hot and was persuaded by Wei Qian. Wei Qian simply explained what had happened in recent years and asked Jia Mei to go back to help with it. After all, if she wants to enter the palace to learn the experience of managing the dynasty, it is difficult to be distracted to the other side, so she needs to be close to people to see the movements on Peng Sangguo's side.
After the mother and daughter were summed up, Wei Qian moved to Ruiming Palace that night.
When Situ Yun and Wei Qian were engaged, they cleaned up a yard in the palace for Wei Qian. Now it has been changed into a palace, and this courtyard has been upgraded to a side hall - Jade Lotus Palace.
Wei Qian's living in Jiafu was an expedient measure, but now that the family is here, they naturally follow their own family. In the afternoon, he said goodbye to Jia Mu, Jia Yu and others, and moved to Ruiming Palace that night.
Within a few days, the Weifu Mansion was repaired and moved from Ruiming Palace to his own mansion again. Jia Mei took the opportunity to return to Jinling and began to take over Wei Qian's Midway Island on the pretext of helping to prepare the dowry.
β¦β¦
The Wei Mansion bought the house of an official who had committed a crime not long ago, and renovated it for his family to live in.
Wei Qian got up early in the morning and decorated with Mrs. Wei.
Old Madam Wei was brightly dressed and red, and she commanded the servants to put on the various utensils brought from Jinling: "When you turn back to the old body, you will also have a banquet for the wives and friends of the family, you should act quickly, don't embarrass the old body!" β
Aunt He was cleaning up the warehouse in the back, and Wei Qian saw that there was no one around, so she asked Mrs. Wei in a low voice: "Grandmother, my grandmother's name is not right after all, and she can still use the name of guarding spirits in Jinling." Now that you have brought her to Chang'an, what should we do if Jiafu comes to beg for help? β
"What, you're worried about that one in Jiafu?"
Wei Qian lives in Jiafu, although it is not bad, but it is quite exhausting to deal with Jia's mother: "That old lady is my grandmother after all, and the law is horizontal there, where do I dare to refuse?" No, didn't I give her the few pills I refined at the beginning? She said everything in Jiafu, and my eldest uncle would give her a few points. β
"Mrs. Najia is just relying on her identity to rely on the old and sell the old." Old Madam Wei leaned on crutches and said with a smile: "Don't worry, teach this to your grandmother." She's old, is your grandmother a generation younger than her? If she dares to make trouble, only your grandmother and I can deal with it. Your grandmother and I also had a lot of old relatives in Chang'an back then, and now we are just moving our bodies and bones to fight with this old woman to see if she dares to bully my granddaughter. β
Wei Qian's step to this day is enough to fight for Wei Fu, the old lady is satisfied with her granddaughter, and she is not happy to let her granddaughter go to Jiafu.
"Your uncle is good to your mother and daughter, and it is good for you to maintain this relationship. But don't worry about this old lady's thoughts, something happened to me. The old lady patted her chest, and Wei Qian was skeptical.
"I'll clean up the house today, and tomorrow I'll have people prepare gifts to turn around. After all, Jia Fu is a relative, and one more gift is added. β
After all, the old lady has been in charge of housework for so many years, and after Jia Mei met Jinling, she walked around the city on crutches for a few days, and it didn't take long for there to be a lot of sedan chairs at the gate of the Wei Mansion, and some wives came to visit from time to time.
In this way, after the New Year's Festival, in the second year, that is, the first year of Shunde, Situ Yun's year was sealed in the harem. In addition to Jia Yuanchun's promotion to Concubine De and the title "Xian", the position of nine concubines was also filled in three.
But as for Wei Qian's position, the palace has been taboo from beginning to end, and it has not been mentioned at all.
Old Madam Wei heard the wind outside and frowned: "This is wrong, it stands to reason that you should prepare your position first, and then you can buy dowries and welcoming teams under various regulations." What does it mean that there is no opening in the palace now? You have often entered the palace during this time, what is the attitude of the two majestys and ladies in the palace? β
"It's not good, it's not bad. During this time, I have only seen the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but His Majesty has no chance to see him. Wei Qian also muttered, Situ Yun has never met her, how can the two collude? You must know that there is another palace inspection before entering the palace. She calls herself a stone girl, but she is not worried about her health, but why is there no wind on Situ Yun's side?
"I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, so I'm going to ask when the time comes?" Wei Qian was a little anxious, if this was not done well, both himself and Situ Yun would suffer.
