Chapter 502: Hitting the Pillar
By the time Prince Rui and his entourage left the palace to go to Xiling, it had been half a month since the accident in Qingwangfu.
During this period, the princes were cautious and closed their doors, and Prince Qing was invited to the Zongren Mansion and did not return until five days later, and it is said that he lost a lot of weight.
Princess Qing was born prematurely, King Qing's concubine died young, such two big things, the clan and the nobles also handled them in a low-key manner, and even the female dependents who presided over the feed came to the door, and even a few sisters of the Gu family who were princesses only let people send some supplements.
I heard that only Gu Jieyu's biological mother, the Duchess of Zhenguo, Zhou, took another daughter, Gu Yanran, to Qingwangfu, but she only served for three days before she was sent back by Gu Jinzhi, the son of Zhenguo.
Emperor Jingwen was very angry because of this incident, but he added fuel to the fire, and when the imperial history was meeting with hundreds of officials, in front of the civil and military officials, he presented a book of words that circulated in the streets and alleys to Emperor Jingwen.
The book is called "Immortals Are Poisonous".
According to the imperial historian, he first saw the book only because the title was too rebellious and should be condemned. After careful re-examination, I learned that this book is very popular in the capital, and the red light alley mentioned in the book is in the outer city, and a few months ago because of a fire in the fight and caused trouble in the yamen, the house in the red light alley was closed.
No one expected that within a few days, every day there were people wandering near the red light alley, seeing that the cars and horses were all from large families, and then these cars and horses did not come, and every day there were more than ten or twenty people who looked like small people came here to inquire.
One day, a few of the housekeepers carried an old man over, and the master was salivating, knocking on the closed door like crazy, crying and shouting.
Someone recognized that this uncle was the nephew of Yang Dehai, the eunuch in charge of the Wine and Vinegar Bureau.
At this time, the book "Immortal Poison" was born, and those who have read the book say that the red light alley mentioned in the book is this house in the outer city that walks through the water, and those who come here to inquire about the news, including Yang Dashao, are all here to buy fairy ointment.
It is written in the book that the fairy ointment is like a tonic at first use, which makes people feel a hundred times more energetic, but they are addicted to regular food, and in the end they are like waste people.
But anyone who does the imperial history has the heart of achieving a famous minister, and this imperial history is even more so.
So, he bought back a set of five volumes of "Immortals Are Poisonous", and said word by word, ▽dǐng, ▽diǎn, ▽ small, .≈.♀os_ (); sentence research, combined with the legend about the red light alley, it was concluded that "Immortal Poison" was written based on the red light alley.
The author of this book is called Crazy Sho Sheng
Upon investigation, it was not found
But no matter who wrote this book, Red Light Hutong is a place that brings disaster to the country and the people.
This imperial historian said righteously: "After the investigation of the lower officials, among the officials and nobles in Beijing, there are many people who have been in and out of the red light alley, if the saint does not believe in the ministers, you can let the Jinyi guard to investigate." ”
Of course, the cabinet elder couldn't let such a second thing roar the court, and someone immediately reprimanded him loudly, and the imperial historian didn't say a word, and hit the pillar where the two eunuchs were standing.
The two eunuchs were well-informed, and immediately blocked the front of the pillar with their weak little bodies, and Yushi rushed to the front and stopped his steps, not in a hurry, changed the angle, and crashed into another pillar again!
Although Emperor Jingwen has to watch two or three imperial histories hit the pillar every month, he has long been surprised by the old man, but he still encountered it for the first time with a book that is difficult to climb the elegant hall like this.
These imperial histories pick and choose all day long, go online, and use chicken feathers as arrows, but I can't ignore them, otherwise it will be all their minds, they will become loyal ministers and famous ministers, and I will become a faint monarch and tyrant.
"Well, bring the book."
After the next dynasty, Emperor Jingwen called Shi Jikun, the commander of Jinyiwei, to the south study, threw the book in front of him, and asked him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
When Ji Kun left the south study, he asked people to call Dong Guanqing in front of Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect that Dong Guanqing immediately handed over a few secret reports to him.
It turned out that the secret guards of the Jinyi Guard had been eyeing the red light alley a few months ago, but it was only because this matter not only implicated the official eunuch, but also involved the noble family, so they did not continue to follow up.
When Ji Kun heard this, his head was as big as a fight, and he scolded that Yushi in his heart.
scolded and scolded, he still sorted out these secret reports and presented them to Emperor Jingwen.
There was a lot of noise in the capital.
At this time, Yan Xu had already dragged his family and came to Qingjue Villa.
Haitang and the Ma family have passed the ceremony of acceptance, and both of them are not young, so the Ma family wants to welcome them earlier, Linglong smiled and agreed, and the day of marriage was set at the end of August.
There are still three months to go, and Begonia will move to Sweetwater Lane to be married. Linglong asked Lishui and Xiushui to live with her, and asked Xinbo's nephew and daughter-in-law Feng Lujia to take care of her.
Haitang didn't want to leave, so she handed over to Huancui, who stayed in the house to watch the family, for more than ten days, and then took a small sedan chair and moved into Sweet Water Lane.
Yan Xu had already promised to give a dowry of five hundred taels, and Linglong gave Begonia a complete set of silver heads that can usually be worn out, two gold hairpins and two pearl hairpins inlaid with green jade gourds, and she was worried that others would be embarrassed to give gifts over her, so she gave Begonia a pair of mutton fat jade earrings.
Linglong gave Haitang another 300 taels of silver, and let her keep it for herself.
Begonia is the first-class big girl next to Princess Rui, and giving her face is giving Princess Rui face.
The ladies who often come to the Rui Wang's Mansion also sent their mothers-in-law to come over one after another. Linjiang Hou Shizi's wife Gan came over in person and gave Begonia a red seal, and after she left, Begonia opened it and was startled, and it was a silver ticket of fifty taels.
Gan's came to propose marriage to Begonia, but Cheng Xuehuai made a fool of himself, which made Gan's very faceless, and this time he gave Begonia a generous gift, also to regain face.
The Nie family also gave fifty taels of boxes, Grandma Yan and Huan Er, Xuanji and Linlang each gave twenty taels and a golden hairpin, and Jin Yu asked people to send a pair of silver bracelets.
The three aunts and two ladies in King Rui's mansion, as well as the maids and ladies in the courtyards of the mansion, all pooled together the money and gave Begonia a share.
Not counting the private house that Haitang has saved over the years, just for the shares given and received by the masters, her dowry is more than 1,000 taels, and many big families marry daughters, that's all.
Haitang is a shrewd person, she invited Feng Lu, and with the five hundred taels rewarded by Prince Rui, she bought a small mansion in the outer city to collect rent. In this way, she can still have a hundred taels of silver every year after she passes the door.
After the Ma family heard about it, they were so anxious that this daughter-in-law was originally the first-class maid of Princess Rui, and now she has so much dowry, she is afraid that Ma Changqing will not be able to raise her head in front of her daughter-in-law in the future, so she bought a shop selling grain, oil, rice and noodles for the young couple.
When Xuanji came to Xiling to ask Feng for peace, she told Linglong about this matter, as well as the news she heard from Dong Lian about the red light alley.
