The old lady is still the same as before, and the princess's miscarriage has been hidden from her, and she didn't dare to tell her. People are old, coupled with the torture of illness, the old lady has obviously felt old in the past few months, and people have become a little confused, pulling Yulan to say repeated words over and over again.

Yulan thought of the shrewd and sharp old lady in two or three years, and felt a little sad in her heart.

The eldest lady looked a lot haggard, after Yuxin's accident, she went to Yuqing Palace, her daughter's tragic situation deeply stimulated the eldest wife, but her daughter is a royal woman, the eldest lady just wants to help her, and she doesn't have the ability to support her.

"Mrs. still has to take care of her body! The crown princess Jiren has her own natural appearance, and it will be fine! Yulan comforted the eldest lady, but silently complained in her heart: I knew now, why bother in the beginning!

I just don't know if the eldest lady has regretted Yuxin's marriage until now.

After a few words of gossip, Yulan asked Qian's mother to divide the gifts she brought. are all some four treasures of the study, pen holders, pen washes and the like, only Chengzu and Chengzong participated in the Autumn Festival, but of course Yulan can't just give the eldest brother and the third brother two people, everyone has prepared one, even the infant brother Cheng has one.

After a while, the four young masters from Chengzu to Chenghei entered Yiningju. When you get a gift, of course, it's better to thank you in person.

Yulan looked at the four heroic teenagers, and only felt that the haze in his heart was swept away, the three people of Chengzu, Chengye, and Chengzong had grown up, and they would have to rely on them to establish a household in the future. The future of the Yang family also depends on them. As for the fourth young master, although he is still young, his eyes are extremely smart, and he was moved to the outer courtyard by the second master early.

Although the second wife is reluctant to give up her youngest son, she understands that her son can't always be kept in the hands of the housewife, and after a long time, it is easy to be raised. The case can refer to the third young master's inheritance.

Yulan smiled and said, "I didn't bother the eldest brother and third brother Wen Shu!" ”

Chengzu said with a smile: "Where does my sister say, she just wants to study, and it is not bad for half a day." "Chengzu is eighteen years old this year, and his appearance follows the second master, he is tall, dignified, elegant, and well-founded, which makes people feel good at first sight.

Although it can't be compared with an outstanding talent like Ye Minchun, he can be regarded as a first-class talent among the sons of Guisuke in the capital.

I heard that the second wife has put a room girl in his room and taught him about personnel. Yulan was embarrassed when she thought of this. It is said that the ancients were precocious, look at the children of the Yang family, and then think about themselves in their previous lives, when they were 18 years old, they had not finished their second illness!

Chengzong is two inches shorter than him, but his appearance is a little more handsome than Chengzu, a bit like a white-faced scholar in the play. When Chengzu spoke, he sat steadily, smiling silently, that calm bearing, Yulan had never seen the eldest master and the second master.

He just looked at Yulan with a smile, his gaze calm and serene.

Chengye is about the same age as them, but he first failed to be admitted to Xiucai, and then there were accidents in the family one after another, first his aunt died, and then his sister was sent to Yuqing Palace as a concubine.

Chengye was originally an unassertive person, and this period of time has been like a year, and now he looks even more cringe. He lowered his head and didn't speak, occasionally raised his head to look at Yulan, his eyes were very complicated, his aunt died because of Yulan, he didn't know whether he should hate her.

What's more, even if he hates her, can he still go to the palace to find her for revenge?

Yulan didn't know how Lu Dao would face this second brother, she hated Yuxia to the core, and she didn't even have a good impression of Chengye.

Fortunately, although they are sisters and brothers, there are not many opportunities to meet, and they are not too embarrassing.

It's the heir, sitting on the chair like a little adult, but he can sit still, it seems that the second master has put a lot of effort into educating him.

Because Yulan saved his life, the relationship between Chenghei and Yulan has always been the best. As soon as Chengzu's words fell, he immediately answered: "Seventh sister, I heard that the Jin Palace's area is very large, and there are many interesting places, I haven't been to play yet, when will you take me in to play?" ”

Yulan pointed at him with a smile: "You little monkey, I thought you had become a little adult just now, but this time you turned your head back to your original form." ”

The eldest wife and the second wife laughed together, the heir brother's face was red, he simply jumped off the chair, pulled Yulan's arm, and pestered Yulan like a cow candy, Yulan was amused by him and laughed, reached out and touched his head and said: "If you really want to play, it's not simple, I'll open the door at any time, welcome!" But when the time comes, you have to convince the second aunt yourself! "Because Cheng Hei fell into the ice lake and almost drowned, the second wife controlled his range of movement very strictly, although he is older now, it is still not so simple to get out of the house.

Cheng Hei said that he was going to play in the palace, but he actually wanted to go out of the palace to have a good time, but he couldn't convince the second wife himself, so he had to use Yulan's strength. This kid isn't very old.

Seeing that Yulan pointed out his thoughts with a word, Cheng Hei twisted his body and didn't follow, causing everyone to laugh again.

Yulan wanted to say a few words alone with Chengzong, but he never found the opportunity. He smiled and said to the eldest wife: "Madam, since I married into the Jin Palace, I haven't been to Lujingzhai for a long time, can my wife let me go over and have a look?" ”

The eldest lady said: "What is this worth, just go as well!" ”

Chengzong is such a awake person, when he heard the song strings, he got up and said, "Mother, I'll send the seventh sister over!" ”

The eldest lady said, "It's better this way." ”

Cheng Hei jumped up and was about to say, "I'll go too!" Chengzu covered his mouth, and Chengzu smiled: "Sister, busy, we have to go back to study!" dragged Cheng Hei down, Cheng Ye stood up half a beat slower, and followed Cheng Zu out of the road.

Yulan couldn't help but look at it.

After saying goodbye to the eldest wife and the second wife, the two sisters and brothers slowly walked from Yiningju to Lu Jingzhai. Yulan originally held back her stomach and wanted to tell Chengzong, who knew that Lu Dao now that the two of them really have a chance to get along alone, but she didn't know where to start with Lu Dao.

Instead, Chengzong asked her first: "The prince treats his sister, okay?" ”

It is rumored outside that Prince Jin is so good to the new little daughter-in-law that he is afraid of falling in his hand and afraid of melting in his mouth. But when he didn't hear Yulan admit it in person, he was always a little uneasy. The palace of the prince of Jin, the door is too high, Chengzong is afraid that Yulan looks bright on the surface, and he can't say the bitterness inside.

Yulan could feel the real concern in his words, and the feelings that the two of them had gained from hardships since childhood were incomparable to anyone. Yulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince treats me very well!" ”

Chengzong exhaled a long breath: "In this way, I am relieved!" My sister can have today, I am really happy for my sister. He paused and said, "However, my sister still gave birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible to gain a foothold in the palace!" I am a man, I know that a man's favor is unreliable. ”

Chengzong has always been quite self-controlled, and it is said that it is not good for him to talk to his sister as a younger brother about these things in the inner house, but although Yulan is the daughter of the Yang Mansion, there are really not many people in this mansion who can say a few sincere words to her, and Chengzong rarely stays alone with her for a while, so he tells everything.

Yulan couldn't help but smile: "I originally wanted to ask you about Qiuyu, but why did you talk about me instead!" ”

Chengzong smiled, and Junxiu's face was full of confidence: "Sister, don't worry, this time I will definitely give my sister a test to come back." If others say so, Yulan will definitely scoff, Chengzong is only fifteen years old this year, and fifteen-year-old people are extremely rare, not to mention rare. It can be classified as a genius.

But when Chengzong said this, Yulan somehow believed it. Probably because he is too calm and steady, people can't help but believe him.

Yulan said: "So I'm relieved." Seeing that he looked like he was old, although he was only fifteen years old, he looked like he was fifty years old, Yulan couldn't help but want to tease him: "I heard that Mrs. also put two girls in your room?" ”

The Yang family is a family with rules, and when the gentlemen are older, they will put the girls in the house to teach them about personnel. If the young masters get married and enter the cave room, and then they don't know how to do things, it will be a joke. These girls are all girls from white families, and their character and temperament are all picked and chosen, and their appearance is generally beautiful.

Before the young masters officially get married, in order to maintain the status of the main wife and maintain the harmony and stability of the back house, these girls will generally give a rich dowry to marry off.

Since the eldest lady married Yulan out of Lu, among all the children, only one Chengzong was left who was not married, and Chengzong was recorded in her name and was her future dependence, so the eldest lady threw all her enthusiasm on this son.

It's a little late, though.

That's to be good to him, good and good!

So Chengzu got a room, but Chengzong got two!

So when Yulan said this, Chengzong's face couldn't help but turn red no matter how steady he was.

Yulan covered her mouth eating, smiling very proudly.

Chengzong knew that he was being tricked by his unscrupulous sister again.

The two of them went to Lu Jingzhai together. Although Yulan was gone, the eldest lady didn't ask others to live in, but still sent a girl to clean it every day. The two sisters and brothers walked around this small courtyard and looked at each room, and they were both a little impressed.

Who would have thought that the two children who used to struggle here when they were children became the heirs of the big house and the other became the princess.

Coming out of Lu Jingzhai, Chengzong returned to the outer study in front of him, and Yulan took the girl directly to Hechunxuan.

The supplements brought by Yulan had already been delivered to Mrs. Five's yard. The fifth wife was lying in the house to raise the fetus, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law beside her greeted her at the door.

Directly entered the fifth wife's bedroom, and said with a smile when she entered the door: "Congratulations to the fifth aunt!" ”

The fifth wife was lying on the couch of the Xiangfei concubine, and when she saw Yulan coming in, her face was full of smiles: "I only sent a mother-in-law to greet our Mrs. Anguo, what a faux pas!" ”

The reason why Mrs. Fifth dared to do this was because her relationship with Yulan was so good, and Zhilu said that she would not be angry about such a trivial matter.

Sure enough, Yulan smiled and said, "Fifth Aunt is making fun of me again!" You're a double body now, and it's not past the first three months, so you can't pay attention to it! ”

The fifth wife smiled: "It's all your fifth uncle, I heard that I was pregnant with another one, I was so nervous, the doctor looked at it every day, and the tocolytic pills were also taken three times a day, so I had to be told to lie on the bed, and I didn't call anywhere, I came down a little bit and walked, and I was in a hurry!" "Because he had died of an engoon before, the fifth master was very nervous when he saw that the fifth wife was pregnant.

Yulan listened to her words, although she was blaming her husband, she was full of sweetness. smiled and said: "Fifth Uncle is hurting you, Fifth Aunt, don't be in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings!" ”

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Five's lips: "When this child in the womb is born, whether it is a man or a woman, I will not ask for anything!" "Think about the time when she first got married, because Enge'er was not in good health, she worried about it all day long, and how many tears she shed. Now, life is finally getting by.

Yulan couldn't help but be happy for her when she saw that she was doing well.

The two gossiped a few words, and the fifth wife asked the nurse to take Brother Cheng out. Brother Cheng is white and chubby, although he can't speak, but he is already very slippery when he walks, his whole body exudes the fragrance of milk, his little arms and legs are as fat as lotus roots, and his two eyes are extremely bright, like two black grapes, Yulan's heart is very soft when he sees him.

Carefully cuddled in her arms for a while, the little one writhed in her arms, not honest at all. Yulan asked Xiaoyue to present a silver necklace, the necklace was nothing, but there was a crystal cross tied at the lower end.

The fifth wife laughed: "How can you be such a daughter-in-law, you are about to move your mother-in-law's family back to your parents' house!" Every time I come back, I bring things to Brother Cheng, and they are all so valuable, I don't dare to accept them anymore. ”

Yulan smiled: "A little thing, it's not worth anything." Mrs. Fifth took it and looked at it: "This is unusual, I still see such a necklace for the first time." She looked at the cross above, "Why does this figure still have wings?" ”

Yulan explained to her with a smile: "This thing was passed from the Franc machine, I looked exquisite, and the omen was good, so I took it to my little brother to carry." The god on the side of the Buddha machine is called God, and the man with wings behind him is called an angel...... "I simply gave some Christian things to the fifth lady to popularize science."

When the fifth lady heard her say that it was transmitted from the Franco, she knew that the value of this thing was very high, and she knew that the navigation conditions were not mature at that time, and the added value of the things that had been transported all the way was naturally very high. The handicrafts on the side of the Franc machine have no price in the market, and basically all of them are paid tribute to the palace.

The fifth lady first sighed: "This Christ sounds fresh. And he said, "This thing is too precious for me to accept." ”

Yulan smiled and brought it to Brother Cheng: "It's not worth anything, before I left the cabinet, the fifth aunt didn't give me any good things before!" I'm going to be annoyed if you refuse. ”

The fifth lady smiled and accepted it. Brother Cheng was tired of playing for a while, so Mrs. Fifth asked the nurse to carry him down to sleep.

After saying a few more words, the fifth lady suddenly said, "The second sister-in-law is showing the ninth girl a family affair." Yulan was a little surprised when she heard this.

"The ninth sister is only twelve years old!" Because Yuqing is a concubine, the second wife is not as stingy as the eldest lady, but if you want to say how good it is to the concubine, it can't be said, but there is food and drink, and there is never a shortage of their mothers' share, and the concubine is also raised in the aunt's room, and her mind can be guessed: I will provide you with good food and drink, and you will be honest and cause me less trouble.

When the concubine grows up, give a dowry, find a similar door to marry, or marry a concubine who can't inherit the family business, or fill the house for others, and nothing else. If you want the second wife to do her best, it is also impossible. After all, it's not the meat that fell from your body, it's good not to be disgusted, and if you want to be as good as your own, that's dreaming.

Yuqing is still young, and generally speaking, the marriage of the concubine Zhang Luo will not be so early. That's why Yulan asked.

The second wife only said three words, and Yulan understood: "Old lady......"

The old lady is not in good health, and she may go one day. Although my grandmother's filial piety only needs to be kept for one year, the second master and the second wife need to be kept for three years. I can't talk about marriage for three years, and Yuqing will become a big girl by then, I'm afraid it will really be delayed.

Now that the family affairs are settled, even if the old lady goes, it is just right to marry after the filial piety is over!

Looking at it this way, the second wife's mother-in-law is still good, and she is willing to think so much about her concubine, which can be regarded as dedication.

Yulan asked: "Are there any people who are optimistic about Lu?" ”

The fifth lady shook her head: "The second sister-in-law took a fancy to a few of them, but they all rejected them very simply. The fifth lady sighed: "It's all for the five girls to be harmed!" ”

The five girls were sent to the East Palace as concubines, which was already a bit insulting to the Yang family's family style, and in the midst of filial piety, it was even more despised. Her goal was achieved, but in the end, she cheated the nine girls.

Other people's families see that this kind of style is the door, who wants to marry back as a daughter-in-law?

"The second sister-in-law is angry because of this!"

No wonder I saw the second wife's face very bad when I was in Yiningju today, and she smiled at herself. The eldest lord came out one by one, making it difficult for the young master in the family to talk about his daughter-in-law, and it was difficult for the girl to find her mother-in-law...... Yulan said in her heart that the second wife might hate this uncle.

It's not just about the Nine Girls. Although the ancestor is married, there is still an heir under him!

"When you have time to go out to socialize, you can also help inquire more, which family has a suitable son and young master, and the ninth girl is also a little pitiful, don't be delayed!" Mrs. Fifth is a kind-hearted woman, and since she has this in her belly, it is even more so.

Yulan nodded: "I'll help the ninth sister keep an eye on it." "This is a new subject. It is said that women have two most primitive desires: to be a mother and to be a matchmaker. Yulan found out that she was interested in such a thing as saying kiss...... I'm really interested!

It turns out that I am also a layman! Yulan complained in her heart.

"It's just that I'm a married girl after all...... "I'm meddling in the marriage of the second room like this, okay?"

The fifth wife said: "You can rest assured, you help pick one, and the second aunt will only be happy." "The fifth wife and the second wife are concubines, and when they meet in the town, they are naturally more familiar with the second wife than Yulan.

Yulan understood as soon as she heard it. The second wife probably regarded telling Yuqing about family affairs as a task, or the kind with a small burden, she probably wanted to finish this task quickly, and she didn't care what the specific process was, whether someone overstepped her authority or not.

Yulan thought of another thing: "That old lady ......"

The fifth lady also had compassion on her face: "A few days ago, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, and said that it was time to prepare for the future......

Before autumn, the wind is calm. The prince honestly studied in the mansion, and he didn't dare to make any moths. After more than a month of conditioning, Yu Xin was finally able to get out of bed, since the last time she had a cordial conversation with Yu Lan, Yu Xin firmly grasped the authority of the East Palace even if she was sick.

Yuxia is still competing for favor with the prince's concubines in a different way, and the prince does prefer her a little more, but it is a fly in the ointment, because there is still a mother's filial piety, and the prince does not dare to ask Yuxia to give her a child. Yuxin naturally understands this, so she doesn't care if the prince sleeps Yuxia or not, she just asks Mama to keep an eye on Yuxia, as long as she stays overnight, she will pour a bowl of medicine into it.

The atmosphere in the East Palace was very strange. The crown princess watched from the wall, the crown princess and a group of concubines were jealous, and all kinds of means emerged one after another, but Yuxin didn't see it. Just deal with palace affairs and read the scriptures in my spare time.

The DPRK and China are quiet, but the southeast coast is bustling with pirates. It turned out that there was an island country across the sea from Great Chu, and the unification had never been unified, but now it was a mess, divided into more than a dozen vassal states to fight back and forth, and the defeated warriors ran to the sea in groups to become pirates.

These pirates were very arrogant, at first plundering ships passing by sea, but later they became more emboldened and began to invade the interior. Since the beginning of the Taizu Dynasty, there have been many pirates who have come ashore to raid and plunder finances, and now it has intensified, and the southeast coastal area has almost become the back garden of pirates.

They come when they want, leave when they want, kill people and sell goods, and they are in great trouble!

Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao, was ordered to patrol the river, originally to prevent Shu Han from sending troops, but once a group of pirates landed from the coast, all the way into a no-man's land, and killed him until he was stationed under the city of Ningzhou.

This group of pirates was also kicked to the iron plate, Ye Minyu was furious and personally led a thousand elite horsemen to pursue hundreds of miles, and in the end completely eliminated this group of pirates, not even a single captured prisoner was left, and all the heads were shown to the public.

It's not that Ye Minyu is perverted and murderous, but Haikou really deserves to die, every Haikou's hands are stained with blood, and I don't know how many innocent lives have died in their hands.

Ye Minyu felt that the Haikou was rampant and the Great Chu Navy was too weak, so he wrote a letter of 10,000 words, played the emperor, and asked the emperor to order the construction of the navy.

In fact, this proposal has long been put forward by people of insight, and now Ye Minyu's position in the DPRK is very important, and no one dares to ignore his proposal.

The orthodox emperor summoned Ye Yichen and the six cabinets and other important ministers of the court to a meeting, and after discussing it for several days, it was decided that the navy must be built, and even if there is no money to build ships now, the framework must be pulled up.

Immediately after that, the drama came, who should the admiral of the water division tell to do. Ye Yichen immediately played the emperor and elected several candidates. Ye Yichen already had enough military power, where did the orthodoxy dare to ask him to master the navy again, so he naturally pushed left and right, and played a Tai Chi boxing, but he refused to appoint.

Ye Yichen immediately mobilized people to write to the emperor and found out all kinds of reasons, all in all, it means the same thing: the admiral of the navy must be selected from these people, otherwise you will be a disaster to the country and the people.

The emperor's head is big. He doesn't understand military affairs, so let him propose someone himself, and he really doesn't know who is better to mention. The most rear-end military department proposed a candidate, but it was Li Rui, the general of the northwest.

The emperor was about to be overwhelmed, and now that he saw that the military department had finally put out manpower, he immediately agreed. Appointments and appointments were also issued quickly.

This game was in an uproar, and Yulan heard about it in the inner house. originally thought that Ye Yichen had lost this game, and he must have been very unhappy when he came back, but who knew that Ye Yichen came back that night with a spring breeze.

When the two sat down to eat, Ye Yichen even joked with her.

Yulan looked at something wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Wang, are you okay......

Ye Yichen smiled: "What can I do." ”

Yulan said: "I heard that Li Rui, the general of the Northwest, went to be the commander of the water division!" ”

Ye Yichen nodded: "Exactly!" ”

"I heard that Li Rui has a grudge against you!"

Ye Yichen continued to nod.

"Your own soldier broke his son's leg!"

"There's this!"

Yulan said angrily: "Your enemy is developed, so why are you still so happy?" ”

Ye Yichen suddenly laughed, suddenly jumped up, and didn't care if he was eating, he picked her up and turned around. Yulan screamed in fright at his sudden move.

Ye Yichen kissed her the neck, and then said, "You don't know the way, the position of Admiral of the Water Master is very important, and I am bound to get it." The emperor thought he had won this game, but he didn't know that everything was in the king's hands! ”

Yulan's eyes widened: "You mean, Li Rui is your person!" "For a long time, what kind of candidate for the admiral of the sailor, Ye Yichen simply played the emperor.
