In the beginning of summer in April, when the weather was getting hotter, Zhao Wei got the first official position in his life with a grade - the commander of the Jingwei Command Envoy. Although it is only the fourth grade, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the grade of his marquis. But at his age, the Manchu Dynasty could no longer find a second real job in the fourth grade. Everyone knows that Jiannanhou has a bright future.

Zhao Wei himself is quite calm, and he still feels a little inadequate for this position. He was originally from a human background, read the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years, and had been training in the Criminal Department for a long time, and he had already memorized the legal code of this dynasty, but the position assigned to him by the emperor was a military position, and he felt a little regretful that his profession was not right. But now he is no longer in the military is a poor and white situation, the old department of the county grandfather has contacted him, and he has made contributions in the process of quelling the two rebellions, and there are many people in the army who know his reputation, and they are not very repulsive. In addition, his own martial arts are quite good, and he is introduced by Cao Taihe, the commander of the forbidden army, and he quickly gained a firm foothold in the Jingzhong Praetorian Guard system.

Now he has to put on a neat official uniform early every morning, go to the Beijing Guard to command the envoy Yamen to order, and when he is free, he can go home for lunch, but when he is busy, he can't get home until dark, and he has a very fulfilling life. Mi Yingzhi carefully took care of his clothes and prepared three meals a day, and the young couple said goodbye at the second door every morning, always asking you and me to say goodbye. Although Zhao Wei is diligent, because he is always unable to go to the yamen in advance to make preparations, he enters the door every day by the timeline, and he inevitably has to be told by his boss. Of course. That's just if it doesn't hurt, he still does his own thing. As long as he's not late, it's okay to be in the early morning. It was a very important and warm moment, and he didn't plan to shorten the time he spent with his wife.

Zhao Wei and his wife's activities in the morning, of course Zhao Xiu will not participate, and after grandmother Zhang watched twice, she also lost interest. She still regrets that her grandson did not enter the Criminal Department, but went to Jingwei. However, Zhao Wei has leisure time on weekdays. She is still very interested in legal books, and she can't put it down, and she is not very persistent in her heart. Now the Zhao family has a knowing library. Even if they don't become civil officials, no one will say that they are not scholars, and the Zhang family has already seen it. What she cares about most now is her granddaughter-in-law's belly. I hope that Zhao Wei and Mi Yingzhi can give birth to a great-grandson for her as soon as possible.

Zhao Wei and Mi Yingzhi were not in a hurry. They had asked Imperial Doctor Jiang in private. They are still young, and it is not too late to have another child in two years, which is more beneficial to Mi Yingzhi's body. Zhao Wei felt sorry for his wife and didn't want her to suffer from childbirth too early and hurt her body. Mi Yingzhi was moved in her heart and accepted his kindness. Anyway, her mother can still give birth to her younger brother when she is in her thirties, she is only a teenager, what is there to worry about?

She should hurry up now and take on the middle feed of the Jiannan Hou Mansion.

Zhao Xiu has already made a handover with her. guided her hand-in-hand for a month, and saw that she could be self-governed. Fang just let go of his hand. When Mi Yingzhi was alone at first, she also encountered a lot of problems, but gradually she got used to it, and now she manages it quite well, and she is familiar with the operation of various industries in the Hou Mansion. She also knows that time is very tight, if she can't get familiar with all these things before Zhao Xiu gets married, will she have to go to Guangping Wangfu every day to ask for advice after her sister-in-law leaves the cabinet?

Mi Yingzhi took the feed, Zhao Xiu stared at it for a while, and saw that she could even arrange the sacrifice of the old county prince during the Dragon Boat Festival, so she was relieved. She can finally breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on getting married.

The so-called preparation for marriage, in fact, at this time, there are not many things that need to be done for her. The dowry furniture has been laid, and the final odor dispersal process is underway; The purchase of all kinds of clothes and furs has also ended, and the best tailor workshop in Beijing makes new clothes for her all year round according to her current body data; The sixth room of the Zhao family and the Welsh foreign company sent all kinds of jewelry and Western luxury goods, ready to be used as a dowry; The Zhang family selected the properties to be escorted from the granges, forests, shops, and real estate under the name of the Hou Mansion in Jiannan, and ordered the shopkeepers to report to the Hou Mansion in the capital in June; The Ministry of Internal Affairs also came with news that her wedding dress was almost finished, and she would come back in two days to measure the size for the last time and prepare to make changes......

What Zhao Xiu has to do is to take inventory of his own things, to see which ones to take to the Guangping Palace, and which ones to stay in his mother's house - especially books, if you want to pick a part of your own collection of books as a dowry, then you can only take the manuscripts with you, which must be left behind. She didn't have to do the copying work, but she had to bother finding someone to copy it. In addition, she also had to prepare a few needles and threads to give to her elders after marriage.

Although Princess Zhong of Guangping died early and Zhao Xiu did not have a mother-in-law, the father-in-law of King Guangping is still there, and there is also the mother-in-law of the Queen Mother, she always has to make two pieces of needlework to pay tribute. It was autumn when she passed the door, and she was lucky to make things that were naturally used in autumn. In the summer, she has to use very thin materials, and in the winter, she may have to use fur. Both of these materials are a big test of her female red skills. Filial piety to the Queen Mother and King Guangping, the materials should be exquisite, and the workmanship should be as fine as possible. Zhao Xiu has never done a piece of needlework so seriously in his life, and even the silk thread used for embroidery has been carefully divided into four petals and embroidered finely and densely. The color matching is also deliberate, deliberated, and tried countless collocations before the plan was determined.

Zhao Xiu was secretly glad in her heart that she didn't have to do it for the emperor, the queen was dead again, and the concubine was not enough, so she could save some trouble. Otherwise, with two more pieces of needlework and thread, she would really be a little overwhelmed. In the past, she only paid attention to practicality, and asked her to make a dress by herself, which was absolutely fine, but when it came to embroidery...... Bihan and Liulu's level is probably above her. made clothes for the Queen Mother and King Guangping, and the latter could also find out the size of the prince from Yanyu, but the Queen Mother could only rely on visual inspection. The clothes that come out of this way must also fit and be exquisite, not only to show her extraordinary female red skills, but also not to reveal her shortcomings in embroidery, she really put a lot of thought into it.

Mama Gong and Mama Zuo helped her a lot in helping her grasp the preferences of the Queen Mother. The two grandmothers have finished all the lessons. But he didn't go back to the palace. The Queen Mother already had a will to come down, signaling that the two of them would follow Zhao Xiu in the future. Married into the Guangping palace with her, and accompanied her to assist her at all times. Zhao Xiu has long been mentally prepared for this. I also respectfully worshiped the two grandmothers. She had no intention of using them as mothers-in-law, but only respected them as Xixi.

Maybe it's because the relationship between them has changed, and the class has ended, and the two grandmothers have relaxed their supervision of Zhao Xiu a lot, and they don't stop her from going out to visit friends, or receiving relatives and friends who come to visit. For a girl who is about to get married, this may be her last easy time. Wait for her to marry into the Guangping Palace. is the housewife of a house, and wants to talk and laugh with her girlfriends in a relaxed and freehand way like now. Probably couldn't, so the two grandmothers let her go.

But even so, who can Zhao Xiu talk to about playing? She doesn't have many friends in her boudoir, and there are only a few who really want to be good. Fang Renzhu and Jiang Wen are still in the field and have not returned to Beijing. Cao Luo is preparing to get married. The wedding date has been set, and the Cao family also sent a post over, just in late May.

Cao Luo's fiancé is Xie Xiangfei, the brother of the late queen, Qu Shuibo's only sister-in-law, and a well-known young talent in Beijing. This is a marriage that everyone envies, and Cao Luo's cousins are red-eyed because of this, and they don't know how many sour words they have said. Can be after the empress stabbed the emperor. As soon as the Xie family collapsed, no one envied Cao Luo anymore. People began to sympathize with her. felt that she was worse than Li Shanwen. Li Shanwen was given to marry the eldest son of the emperor, even if the eldest son of the emperor lost his position, he was still a prince, and Li Shanwen's status as a princess could always be guaranteed. But the Xie family was implicated in the queen's crime, maybe they would have to raid the family and exterminate the family, Cao Luo's marriage was given by the royal family, and it was impossible to remarry someone else, wouldn't her life be ruined?

Fortunately, the emperor was lenient and did not offend the queen and Qu Shuibo's mansion, and the queen was able to keep the throne until she died, and Qu Shuibo only lost the title of Duke Cheng'en, and his life was saved. The eldest son of the emperor has officially established a prince, and as the eldest son of the emperor, as long as they follow the rules, they will be fine. If the eldest son of the emperor gains the throne one day, the Xie family will be able to really exhale and raise their eyebrows. Cao Luo married in the past, that is, she suffered for a few years, but it was not too miserable. It's just that Xie Xiangfei is no longer a young talent in Beijing, and there are not many times when the girls in the boudoir mention him.

At this time, the Xie family knew that it was weak, but the Cao family still retained its original intention and did not regret this family business. Even after the Xie family proposed the marriage, they had no intention of postponing it, and the Xie family was very grateful and sincerely respected this in-laws. For the Xie family, what they lack is not relatives and friends who are icing on the cake, but they really need in-laws who can help them in the snow. And the eldest son of the emperor saw it in his eyes, and he was also very moved in his heart, and secretly remembered Cao Taihe and his family in his heart.

The eldest daughter of the Cao family is about to get married, and relatives and friends have received posts about the wedding banquet. As Cao Fang's mother's family, the Fang family is bound to be a guest. Just when Zhao Xiu and her sister-in-law Mi Yingzhi accompanied her grandmother Zhang to the Cao family to add makeup to Cao Luo, she met the sixth girl of the Fang family, the second daughter of Fang Sanye, and Fang Renzhu's cousin. The sixth girl of the Fang family told her that Fang Chongshan's three-year term was about to expire, and because of his excellent evaluation, he had received an order and was about to return to Beijing. Mrs. Fang and Fang Renzhu will come back early to drink Cao Luo's wedding wine, and according to the time, it is estimated that they will be home in half a month.

Zhao Xiu was overjoyed, after a long absence from Fang Renzhu, he was finally able to see each other again, which was naturally a happy event.

But that's not all. When adding makeup, Zhao Xiu also met the six girls of the Jiang family, and she said that Jiang Wen was also planning to return to Beijing, just these days. However, outsiders don't know about this yet, and Miss Jiang Liu specially told Zhao Xiu not to say it.

Jiang Wen returned to Beijing this time, and was summoned by the old lady of the Jiang family three or four times before agreeing to come back under the persuasion of Mrs. Jiang Si.

The 100th day of the empress has passed, and many people in the court have written to ask the emperor to establish a new queen. Whether it is to straighten out the concubine or set up a new one, the position of the mother of the country cannot be empty for too long. No one knows how the eldest son of the emperor feels, but the emperor is obviously a little tempted and plans to choose a new person to enter the palace. Of course, if you want to establish a new one, your character will naturally be trustworthy. The eldest son of the emperor has been established, and if the new queen can't get along with him, there may be another incident in the harem. The emperor has had enough of the tragedy of his brothers in the same room, and he has extremely high requirements for the new empress's conduct.

The Jiang family recalled Jiang Wen. She is the emperor's cousin, and the queen once suspected that she was going to enter the palace as a concubine. Although it was only the queen's heart at that time, the Jiang family now feels that she may not be able to enter the palace as the queen. If the daughter of the Jiang family succeeds her, at least she will no longer have to worry about the queen mother and the Jiang family getting along with the queen in the future.
