The one hundred and sixty-third round: Fuling returns south
With the princess of Wujun and the prince pressing the formation a kilometer away, Mrs. Wang finally didn't dare to say anything, and after dinner, she went back to Jiafu, but Wang Xifeng stayed.
On the morning of the second day, the emperor announced Lin Ruhai's death at the court meeting, of course, many people already know, and they have been there yesterday evening, and they have also sent the wives and grandmothers of the family to go over before going to the court today, for example, the two wives of the Huang family passed yesterday, and Mrs. Xing also passed early in the morning.
In addition to Mrs. Jia, the whole house was dispatched, and Jia Yu even submitted a leave of absence in the early court, and of course Jia Baoyu was also going to go.
Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall silently, her eyes were red, she wanted to come forward to comfort but didn't know what to say, she was anxious to scratch her ears and cheeks, but when she was in a hurry, she was pulled and asked out, for which Mrs. Jia also complained to Jia Lian fiercely.
In the old lady Jia's thoughts, now that Lin Ruhai is gone, Daiyu has become an orphan without a father and mother, although there is a righteous relative of Wujun Wangfu, but in the end it is still not as close as herself. Daiyu's future is that she can't call the shots, and Baoyu still has hope.
Don't look at anything else, Shan Daiyu's current life is extremely decent, and the Lin Mansion is also the home of the noble family, not to mention the family resources, it will also be of great help to Baoyu in the future.
There are people in the court who know that Lin Ruhai died, and naturally there are others who don't know yet, but the emperor said: "Give the nickname: Wenzhen, posthumously seal Lin Ruhai Yongdinghou, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar." But let everyone understand what status this Lord Lin has in the heart of the saint.
Even more insiders know that the person who is now presiding over the affairs of the outer courtyard in the Lin Mansion is the celebrity next to the saint - the prince and the prince. I couldn't help but decide that after I went back, the memorial should be thickened by two percent.
Whether they are thickened or posthumously sealed, it doesn't make much sense to Daiyu. Her only relative, her father, who had waited for two lifetimes to come, went!
Whether it's lively or cold, in Daiyu's opinion, it's more like a farce. Lin Ruhai stopped in the house for 7749 days. With the intervention of the emperor, accompanied by Jia Lian, and escorted by a team of Praetorian Guards sent by the emperor, Daiyu will help Ling to go south on October 23.
What Daiyu and Jia Lian didn't expect was that the emperor didn't know what to think, and he actually asked Mo Xuan to lead the Praetorian Guards to escort them all the way, and when the queen knew about it, the emperor just smiled and said: "It is also appropriate to let Mo Xuan's kid send it." After saying that, he laughed.
On the evening of October 22, Daiyu came to the temporary residence of Princess Wujun in the Lin Mansion. Obviously, Princess Wujun didn't expect that her daughter, who hadn't spoken much for more than a month, would come to her at this time, but she still called her in with a smile.
Daiyu looked at Princess Wujun, who had lived in the Lin Mansion for more than a month, and was very moved, especially Princess Wujun had always been wearing plain clothes, at most she was just rolling colorful silk on the cuffs or skirt.
Daiyu showed her first smile in more than a month, even if it was very faint, but she was still captured by Princess Wujun in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel more and more warm in her eyes.
Daiyu held the Nanmu box in both hands and handed it to Princess Wujun, and saw Princess Wujun looking at her in confusion. Daiyu said softly: "Ming'er, Yu'er is going to send her father back to the south, and I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to come back." Yu'er begged for her mother's concubine. After speaking, Daiyu looked at Princess Wujun fixedly.
Princess Wujun looked at the box in Daiyu's hand, then looked at Daiyu, and asked, "What's inside this box?" ”
Daiyu lowered her head and thought about it, put the box on the desk in Princess Wujun's hand, and waved her hand to let Hanxiao and Zhixuan retreat. Princess Wujun saw that Daiyu was cautious, and also waved away the grandmother and maid in the house.
Daiyu lowered her head and thought about it, and gently approached Princess Wujun and said, "Yu'er is dissatisfied with her mother, and here is a silver ticket with a silver ticket of one million taels of silver. ”
Listening to Daiyu's words, Princess Wujun was stunned for a moment, her face was full of incredulity, and then she opened the Nanmu box at hand. Sure enough! Although it is not a serious fold inside, there is a thick letter, just looking at the thickness, I am afraid that there are thirty or fifty pages!
Princess Wujun didn't look at the letter inside, she reached out and took out the letter, and there was a silver ticket pressed underneath, Princess Wujun took it out and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a silver ticket of one million taels of Wanfeng silver!
Princess Wujun looked down at Daiyu who was squatting at her feet, and said softly with luck: "Yu'er wants the concubine to hand over this box to the queen?" Daiyu looked at Princess Wujun and shook her head lightly and said, "The mother concubine actually understands in her heart that Yu'er's box is to hope that the mother concubine will hand it over to the emperor for Yu'er!" ”
After listening to Daiyu's own words, Princess Wujun stared at her for a long time, finally closed her eyes, and said after a while: "Who let Yu'er be my daughter?" The mother concubine is determined to do it for Yu'er! ”
Seeing Princess Wujun like that, Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother doesn't have to be like this!" Could it be that the mother thinks that Yu'er will harm the mother concubine? Saying that, Daiyu leaned her head on the knee of Princess Wujun, and said loudly: "Now the mother concubine and Sister Wanyu are Yu'er's only support. ”
Hearing Daiyu say this, Princess Wujun's heart also eased a lot, smiled and looked down at Daiyu, and even reached out to stroke the black silk on her head, and asked softly: "Do you need to hide this from the queen?" Daiyu smiled and said, "How can a foreign woman come to see the Holy One privately? Even if the mother concubine is the queen's own sister, there is no misunderstanding here. ”
Seeing this, the smile on Princess Wujun's face deepened a little more, pulled Daiyu up from her footsteps, sat on her own, and said softly: "It's really worthy of being my daughter!" After speaking, he looked at Daiyu lovingly, and instructed: "The road is far away, and Mama Tang has also followed me to the north and south many times, and I can rest assured that she is here, but you have to go early and return early." ”
In the morning of the next day, the Lin clan rushed over to hang Lin Ruhai's clansmen, and also returned to Gusu with Daiyu. This time, Mama Yang and Mama Sun were both left in the Lin Mansion in the capital by Daiyu. Even Song Shi and Zhang Zheng, the two housekeepers, stayed.
In addition to Jia Lian accompanying Daiyu, she only brought Mama Tang, Mama Chen, Hanxiao, Zhixuan and Lin Zhong and Lin Yi to the two rooms. Although Song Shi and Zhang Zheng also wanted to see Lin Ruhai off, in the end, they couldn't leave people in the capital.
When Daiyu and his entourage walked out of the city gate, Princess Wujun had already handed over the fold into the palace. This time, she didn't bring Wanyu, and only brought a little maid with her.
The queen smiled when she saw Princess Wujun: "You haven't come in to see me for more than a month, I heard that you lived in the Lin Mansion?" Princess Wujun smiled: "Can Niangniang know?" Yu'er's mother left early, and her father also went this time, and the concubine, who is a stepmother, can't ignore it, right? ”
After speaking, Princess Wujun sighed and said, "I also lost my concubine!" Later, the prince also came, otherwise I was afraid that something would happen. When the queen heard this, she was puzzled and asked, "What do you say?" Princess Wujun then learned the style of Mrs. Wang when she first went to the Lin Mansion to the queen, and the queen couldn't help frowning.
It took a while for the queen to ask, "What are they going to do here?" Could it be that the industry of the Lin Mansion has not been started? Princess Wujun smiled noncommittally and said, "Who knows? ”
Saying that, Princess Wujun took out the Nanmu box, put it on the small table at hand, looked at the queen and said: "There is something wrong with the concubine entering the palace today, otherwise this time, the concubine should go back to the house to take a look." ”
When the queen heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the box in Princess Wujun's hand and said, "What good things?" Princess Wujun couldn't help but smile when she saw the queen like this: "A good thing is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's neither a concubine's, nor a filial piety to your mother!" ”
The queen was puzzled, "Oh? He asked, "Since you are not honoring me, what are you doing with it?" ”
Princess Wujun said with a smile: "This is what Yu'er handed over to the saint last night by the concubine, saying that she wanted to hand it over to the saint herself!" So my sister I can't do anything, so I have to ask my sister to come here, see when my sister went to invite the saint to come over, sister and I am also good friends, right? ”
The queen mother stared at the box for a long time, and then raised her eyes to Princess Wujun and asked, "Do you know what it is?" Princess Wujun nodded and said, "A letter, Yu'er said it was an excerpt!" Speaking of this, Princess Wujun covered her mouth and smiled: "The little girl also wants to write excerpts!" ”
When the queen heard this, she frowned suddenly, but she quickly stretched out her and asked lightly, "What did you write?" Princess Wujun said: "This concubine doesn't know, she only knows that there is a silver ticket worth one million taels inside." I'm afraid that everything that can be taken out of the Lin Mansion is also here. ”
One million taels, for the **** empire, may not be much, but for the queen is also a lot! The queen lowered her head and thought about it, then said to Gong E beside her: "Let Manager Xia come to see the mourning family." ”
After the palace was ordered to go out, the queen looked at Princess Wujun and said, "I don't know if the saint will come up, and let people invite them." Princess Wujun nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
For a while, Xia Shouzhong hurried in, and after saluting, the queen said: "You go to the imperial study to take a look, see that the saint is busy, if you have time to invite the saint to come up, just say that there is something important." Got it? Xia Shouzhong smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave will bring the words as soon as possible." With that, he ran out.
The emperor only came over at lunchtime, and was surprised to see Princess Wujun, but she still looked majestic on her face, sitting on the main seat. He looked at the queen and asked, "Didn't you say that there was something important?" As he spoke, he also glanced at Princess Wujun.
The queen also looked at Princess Wujun before she smiled and said, "It's not that the concubine has something to do." Before the Empress could finish speaking, the Emperor asked, "Oh? So it's Princess Wujun who has something to do? Princess Wujun hurriedly got up and said, "It's the concubine who has something." The concubine was entrusted with a box to the saint. As he spoke, he held the Nanmu box in both hands.
The emperor didn't answer, but asked, "I don't know who entrusted Princess Wujun to?" Gu Zhen knows, doesn't Princess Wujun live in Lin Mansion these days? Who begged you to go to the Lin Mansion again? ”
Saying that the emperor's face was already a little bad, Princess Wujun hurriedly knelt down and said: "Long live Qiyu, she is the righteous daughter of the concubine, Lin Hui begged the concubine to hand over this box to the saint with her own hands." ”
Hearing that it was the box handed over to him by Princess Daiyu of Wujun, the emperor couldn't help but be interested and motioned to take the box. The queen didn't wait for Gong E to step forward, so she took it over and handed it to the emperor with her own hands. The emperor didn't open it, but asked, "Do you know what's inside?" ”
Princess Wujun looked at the queen, and the queen was also looking at Princess Wujun with a frown. Seeing this, the emperor asked coldly, "What? Princess Wujun was afraid of arousing the emperor's anger, so she explained: "It is written by the concubine and the righteous daughter, a letter written!" He said that he would hand it over to the Holy One. ”
The Emperor asked noncommittally, "A letter?" As he spoke, he looked at the queen and asked, "A letter only looks like a queen?" The queen smiled reluctantly: "Don't blame the saint, that girl obviously wrote a letter, although the content of the concubine does not know, but she also read the letter, but the girl wants to say that it is an excerpt!" ”
The emperor happened to be holding a bowl of tea, and as soon as he ate it in his mouth, he almost squirted out when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh. Unsure asked: "Do you really say it's an excerpt?" The queen smiled, "Isn't it?" I was afraid that I heard it from Lin Qing's house somewhere, so I learned it. ”
The emperor put down the teacup, nodded before putting away the box, and didn't skip the meal, but said, "Okay, I still have something to do, I'll come to see you another day." After speaking, he said to Princess Wujun, who was still kneeling on the ground: "It is rare for the princess of the county to enter the palace, so she will accompany the queen, and then go out after dinner." After saying that, the emperor walked out with the box in his arms. (To be continued.) )
