Chapter 167: Sow Melons and Reap Melons
Soon after the baptism of the eighth daughter, the concubine Niangniang of Zhengming Palace fell ill just after the confinement, and I don't know what the reason is, the illness is not light.
The emperor went down to the court every day, and after the discussion, he went to Zhengming Palace to see the concubine, and the concubine only covered her face with a handkerchief, crying and not letting the emperor see her face, just begging the emperor not to come closer, but I was afraid that he would be sick and angry with him.
Sakura came back to Zhou Baolu: "It was said that the concubine was very sick, and she could get up and sit a few days ago, but now she can only lie down, and she can't eat anything, and she can only drink a mouthful of porridge for a day. ”
Zhou Baolu is eating dim sum, she always feels that autumn is over, it's time to paste autumn fat, three meals a day doesn't seem to be enough, and add some snacks in the afternoon.
It is the season of crab fat, and it is what Zhou Baolu likes to eat, but Zhou Baolu's physique is cold, and the doctor said that she can't eat crabs, so she twisted Xiao Hongcheng and said that she allowed to eat at most one crab roe bun.
Zhou Baolu was very dissatisfied, and gestured and said: "A little big!" ”
That's it, she eats crab roe buns, and has to drink half a cup of soju, and then eat a piece of plum blossom cake, when she eats chestnut powder cake, Sakura comes in to reply, and she casually rewards a piece for her: "Come, sit down and eat, I'm idle for now, you tell me in detail." ”
Sakura knew the temper of her princess, accepted the cake and thanked her, and sure enough, she sat on the pedal with a smile and said, "The slave heard a lot of rumors, and the most interesting thing is that Hui'er told me that she saw with her own eyes that when Mrs. Wei cried, she had chili peppers in her hands!" ”
Zhou Baolu's hand paused: "Real or fake?" It's kind of weird. ”
Sakura nodded: "No, I don't believe it either, but Hui'er swore that she saw it, she was still younger, only so tall." Sakura gestured with her hand, about her shoulder, "Maybe she's easier to see than we are." ”
Zhou Baolu nodded thoughtfully, she didn't expect that the concubine's illness was strange, the concubine was confined for the next two months, and it was really not very good, even the little princess was weak, even if she was sick, it was normal, but when it came to it, the concubine was pretending to be sick?
Xiao Hongcheng told her that some secret medicines will have a high fever after taking them, or cold and chilly, as if they are seriously ill, and people are really not very comfortable, Zhou Baolu pondered for a while, it is not the first time that the concubine has given birth to a child, in the confinement, how to maintain it after the confinement is experienced, and she is not very old, so she will not lose money or anything, so ...... Could it really be a feigned illness?
What is this pretending to be sick for?
Zhou Baolu pondered and pondered, and always felt that it was really useless for her to do such a thing, it was nothing more than that the emperor had colded her for two months, and gave birth to a princess, for fear that the emperor would snub her from now on.
So to be sick in order to win love?
Could it be that according to her experience, the emperor likes sick and delicate women?
Zhou Baolu finished thinking about it, and always felt that this strategy was quite boring, even if the emperor likes delicate beauties, it is enough for you to have a wind chill or something, why pretend to be sick and die?
If you want to like it, you will naturally like it, does it have to be sick and die for the emperor to like it?
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Baolu felt that Xiao Hongcheng was fortunate not to be like his father, and he didn't like that kind of delicate beauty, otherwise...... She pinched her waist, as if she had gained weight again!
And this kind of thing is quite weird, last time she thought carefully about the auspicious rumors, and felt that the Wen family's methods were precise and cautious, if they didn't move, they were just a thunderbolt method, and in retrospect, they could attack and retreat, and they could be defended in one fell swoop, which was indeed exquisite.
This time, such a boring little fight suddenly lost its level.
But since he couldn't see anything, Zhou Baolu just asked some details, which doctors came to see, who stayed for long, what kind of medicine were prescribed, and so on. I don't pay attention to it anymore, since the concubine Niangniang is afraid that the holy family will no longer be there, I think it is time to settle down!
If Wen Wei knew Zhou Baolu's evaluation of this matter, he would probably introduce this princess as a confidant, and when he knew that the concubine of Lu Dao was pretending to be sick to test the sacred heart, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: "What's going on?" ”
The second brother Wen Lan sneered: "I only learned today, the eldest sister has already entered the palace to visit the concubine, I heard that the illness is not light, and the saint is also anxious." ”
"Is it a real illness or a fake illness?" Wen Wei is not so respectful and rigorous when he speaks to his brother in private, he is the eldest brother, although he is not very strict, but the brothers have always respected him.
Except for his cousin Wen Hualin, who was deeply favored by his father.
Wen Lan took the teacup, rubbed the mouth of the cup, and said slowly: "It's hard for me to say whether it's a real illness or a fake disease, and it's not something I can say." But I thought about it once, Niangniang annoyed the emperor and grounded herself in Zhengming Palace, at that time, the eldest sister was very anxious, and she came back seven or eight times a month, and I already felt strange. ”
Wen Wei nodded lightly: "It's that the concubine Niangniang was snubbed by the emperor, in the end, the concubine is still there, although my sister is the sister-in-law of the concubine Niangniang, but now that my father has become the elder of the pavilion, there is no concubine Niangniang, and my sister will not be looked down upon, it is nothing more than not as glorious as now, it is not worth being in such a hurry." ”
Wen Lan raised her head and smiled: "Then what is my sister anxious about?" ”
They are all smart people, so naturally they don't need to be too clear, Wen Wei understands, Wei Wen's family married into the Wei family to fill the house, and quickly understood the situation, and knew which side to stand on, so although she always worked against her mother-in-law, she treated her well to the concubine who stayed behind by the original partner.
The girl always has to marry out, and she can't fight for anything, even if she becomes an enemy, can she still lose her dowry? It's better to treat her better, if she marries well in the future, it will help the family.
Now that this girl is fifteen years old, it is the time to get married, but she is lucky, she met Wei's promotion to the concubine, and it is the old Wenge who entered the cabinet, the Wei family suddenly rose to the top, and Wei Wen's peace of mind wants to take advantage of the east wind of the concubine to find a good family for Miss Wei.
Wen Wei shook his head lightly: "A good person doesn't have to borrow the east wind of the concubine to find it." ”
Wen Lan smiled: "You underestimate the big sister, good family?" Hehe, what is a good person? The eldest sister now has a high vision, except for the prince of the clan, I am afraid that there will be no good family! ”
Wen Wei is an extremely smart person, listening to these words, the thoughts in his mind one after another, and after a while, he figured out Wei Wen's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
If you want the seven princes to ascend to the throne, the strength of the clan should not be underestimated, and now Wei Guifei has the emperor's favor and the help of the elders, only in the clan, she is very weak, and now she is counting on the emperor to marry and marry Miss Wei into the clan, so she has to open a gap and slowly win over some clans, and at the same time, she can also show the inner and outer dynasties that the concubine is particularly favored.
Of course, there are such benefits, which family and which household did not hit the wooden bell a little, and asked for grace, since the concubine who saw it was favored, then there were naturally more people who posted it, and gradually it was also a force.
Wen Lan said: "Big brother, you don't often live at home, but you haven't met, big sister has come back more than a dozen times in the last two months, except for my father's invitation, I see, she is very affectionate with our family Lin Shao." ”
Because his wife Zhao and his mother completely ripped their faces, Zhao only lived in Wen's house for one day, and never came back, and has been living in the courtyard where he married, Wen Wei had to run on both sides, and because of his father's attitude and cousin's status, Wen Wei felt that he might be very obstructive at home, and he himself looked uncomfortable.
At this time, Wen Hualin was inevitably mentioned again.
When it comes to this cousin, Wen Wei and Wen Lan have the same feelings, this self-proclaimed cousin, because he is deeply loved by Wen Ge, is really the most decent at home. He prides himself on being literary and elegant, extremely smart, and does not look at the other brothers of the Wen family in his eyes, and Wen Ge is conceited all his life, and he is a strict father at home, children and wives, and he doesn't listen to a word, and he loves Wen Hualin the most, only he can listen to his words the most.
Wen Wei and Wen Lan knew in their hearts that Wen Hualin was the most enthusiastic about supporting Wei Guifei.
Wen Wei said: "Father's heart is too warm for this support. When the concubine was reprimanded by the saint, I said to my father, our family did not rely on the concubine Niangniang to have today, and there is no need to be too keen on this matter, if the timing is good, there is a calculation, and it is naturally good to earn such a credit, but if it is to catch up, it must be earned, but it is a big taboo! ”
"If you are too eager, you will lose your proportion, and it is very easy to expose flaws and ask people to grasp the handle." Wen Wei said, he is also teaching his younger brother: "Such a big thing, once you are not careful, the family will fill in, and it may not be able to do anything, if it is for the sake of this support, it is a small matter to bury decades of business, I am afraid that even my life will be lost, and I don't know." Father Sanyuan and the first, 30 years of hard work to get to today, you and my brother are doing errands abroad, no worse than others, where can we not support the Wen family? Why take such a risk and take such shortcuts? It's too late to withdraw now. ”
Wen Lan responded: "Big brother's words, I know what I said, I also thought about it, but I didn't say it as thoroughly as the eldest brother, the day before yesterday I discussed with my father, and I also expressed that I might have hidden worries, and Brother Lin was also there at that time, so I was very mocking, only saying that I was timid." My father only likes to listen to him. ”
"I'll see." Wen Lan came to a conclusion: "I'm afraid that the concubine's illness was planned by Brother Lin and his eldest sister." ”
"This is really ......" Wen Wei said: "If you really want to marry the clan like this, where is this marriage, it is revenge!" No matter which family it is, if you get married by the Holy God, you will naturally obey your own will, but how can people be willing in their hearts? On the contrary, I am even more dissatisfied with the concubine, that's it, after getting married, people are just one more daughter-in-law and a girl, can they still influence the man's plan? Where should people stand, where should they stand, and where they stand! In the whole world, I have never seen a daughter-in-law, and the whole family has to help the daughter-in-law's mother's family, even if the girl is married, in the end, the husband's family is still more important than the mother's family, what can I do? What are you willing to do? ”
Wen Wei was very dissatisfied and said: "Marrying into the clan with such an idea is not only useless, but it is actually becoming more and more enemies!" ”
After listening to his brother's words, Wen Lan felt that he had benefited a lot, he knew the movements in the family, but he didn't think so deeply, at this time, I thought of the last time the eldest brother's game, this time Wen Hualin and his sister's game, they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, the pattern is different, and the superiority is immediate.
Wen Wei's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he hesitated for a while before explaining to Wen Lan: "Now I am very optimistic about the success of the concubine, the concubine Niangniang has nothing except the emperor's favor, but I look at the saint and the heavens, the favorite concubine and the prince, which is more important is clear, but the concubine has no idea, and she has no talent to act, she can only listen to people's words, and she is willing to believe in such a useless strategy, and what will happen to Anzhi in the future?" It's just that my father is really warm, and there is Brother Lin on the side to flatter, I said it twice, but my father just refused to listen, and now I am less at home, and this family is old and young, so I have to entrust it to you. ”
Wen Lan hurriedly stood up: "Big brother just commands." ”
Wen Wei pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "You and my brother, don't be so polite, I think, the affairs of this family, the eldest sister, Brother Lin, even the father's side, you have to pay more attention, now is not the time to act rashly, if your father has any moves, you have to advise more, if there is something important, you send me a letter...... Our family must not be dragged into the quagmire. ”
Wen Lan solemnly should be.
The two brothers talked until the night, and seeing that the curfew was about to fall, Wen Wei returned to the other courtyard.
The location of the courtyard is excellent, it is the place where the imperial capital is crowned, it is just smaller, but it is just three in, it is just elegant and clean, Wen Wei has been married for four years, and there is only one son under his knees, a family of three, but also comfortable to live.
Entering the main room, Zhao was talking to her housekeeper daughter-in-law under the lamp, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly went down the kang to serve Wen Wei to change clothes, and the daughter-in-law hurriedly retreated.
Wen Wei glanced at it and asked casually, "What do you say?" ”
Zhao smiled: "Why did you come back so late?" Duan'er fell asleep. ”
"I'll talk to my second brother, a little longer."
Zhao said with a smile: "I'm talking to Zhang's mother about buying people, because of the summer disaster, many people have come out, and now it's easier to buy people there, and it's stronger than before, there are few people here to make it, and it's time to add some people in the house, and I called people to come today, I looked at it once, bought sixteen, let's add six here, add ten in the house over there, I thought, wait for the uncle to come back and take a look, which ones are left and which ones are sent over there, and the uncle is in charge." ”
Wen Wei said: "Okay, I have something to do tomorrow, so let's call and take a look at it at this time." ”
Such a trivial matter, even Wen Wei didn't care about it at all, never imagined that this ordinary housework would be reported directly to the East Palace on the second day, just after breakfast, Zhou Baolu got the news: "Back to the mother's words, yesterday Renyazi took Zhang Zeshan's daughter-in-law to Grandma Wen's courtyard, she was born upright, dressed cleanly, and was adjusted and taught to understand the rules, Grandma Wen bought her, Uncle Wen picked her and left her in the courtyard, but she didn't recognize it." ”
Zhou Baolu is squatting in the back garden to plant radish, this is her new hobby, when she used to be a girl, she went to loosen the soil for the flowers when she wanted to do things, change the pot, and later entered the palace, there were too many things to think about, the flowers in the garden called her to loosen the soil and killed a large piece, she did not ask people to replant, simply planted cabbage radishes and the like.
In the summer disaster relief and meal reduction, she harvested a lot of beans and winter melons, picked up the good ones, and asked the small kitchen to make winter melon soup and go up to add vegetables to her father, and the emperor heard that it was the winter melon planted by the crown princess herself, and her chin almost didn't fall off.
Then the emperor praised the princess for her virtue, simplicity and self-control, deference and filial piety, and set an example for the harem.
A piece of winter melon, for so much gold, this is simply a golden winter melon!
Xiao Hongcheng served Zhou Baolu, there were many tricks, not to mention one after another, and his father supported him, but it was also an outlier.
At this time, Zhou Baolu squatted there to plant radish, Xue Zhuer squatted aside and handed her radish seedlings, Zhou Baolu said: "When she came out of the Wen family, Uncle Wen was only a few years old, where can she recognize it, you tell her, don't be in a hurry to recognize it, it stands to reason, Uncle Wen doesn't recognize her, she must know that this is the old master, if it is ordinary, it must be recognized, we just want this unusual, you call her to work hard, and occasionally talk to the people under the people who are together about the difficulty of her family, as long as someone from the Wen family comes on weekdays, ask her to walk around, Try to avoid it, but avoid the obvious points, you know? ”
Xue Zhu'er has been following Zhou Baolu for a few years, and she is getting older and older, although she doesn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Baolu sells in this gourd, but because this command is very clear, the meaning is clear.
Xue Zhu'er said: "Yes, my subordinates understand that Zhang Zeshan's daughter-in-law's behavior is a little suspicious, but she just has to come slowly, let Grandma Wen pay attention to her by herself, and can't let her catch up." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Baolu smiled: "That's it, you go and see." ”
sent Xue Zhu'er down, and took a basket of new chestnuts from the garden to reward her.
This daughter-in-law is the one that the eldest princess told her before, the girl who once served Wen Ge Lao's brother and daughter-in-law, and saw Wen Ge Lao and his brother and daughter-in-law tryst.
After Zhou Baolu told Xiao Hongcheng about this, Xiao Hongcheng instructed Princess Zhuang Hui to send someone over, and he personally interrogated it, but he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao's trial, so he sent someone to raise Zhang Zeshan's daughter-in-law's family in Zhuangzi outside.
The former son explained to Zhou Baolu, gave Zhang Zeshan's daughter-in-law an identity from other places to the imperial capital, and then found a way to quietly send Grandma Wen's courtyard to serve, so that Grandma Wen happened to know this secret.
Zhou Baolu gave her refugee status.
When she came out of the Wen family, she was bought and sold several times, and was exiled to Huainan, and because of this disaster, the family died, and only a teenage son lived.
The person was chosen by Grandma Wen herself and left by herself, and Zhang Zeshan's daughter-in-law has never been close to Grandma Wen, on the contrary, she pays special attention to those who are far away from the master, especially those who are far away from the Wen family.
Do it obviously, after a long time, Grandma Wen herself will notice her.
Xiao Hongcheng explained: "The nail is buried, it's still early, the trickle of water comes for a long time, and it is important to do it without a trace of doubt." ”
Zhou Baolu had to work hard for Xiao Hongcheng again.
In fact, she didn't know what the use of Lu Daofei's strength to leak this secret to Wen Wei was, but Xiao Hongcheng told her: "This is a good thing that your brother An tailor-made for Wen Wei, you can't trust others, you can always trust your brother An, right?" ”
Of course!
Their brother An'er is the best at figuring out people's hearts, often starting from small sections, and unconsciously connecting several seemingly unrelated things into a net, and the people in the middle of the net are not aware of it!
Now this matter is just a trivial matter, it has nothing to do with the political situation, and I don't know what kind of plan Brother An Dao is.
However, it is tailor-made, and I think it is a special bureau for Wen Wei's personality and temperament. Brother An once said that everything is handled by people, and everyone's personality, temperament, family background, and situation often affect this matter, and there is a context to follow, the more you know a person, the more you can speculate what kind of result that person will do a thing.
Therefore, the same thing, for people with different personalities and temperaments, often ends very differently.
This kind of thing is very mysterious, and it can only be understood, but although Zhou Baolu herself is not like Chen Yi'an, her intuition is often the same.
Just like she knew that since the concubine Niangniang pretended to be sick, she must want benefits, and she wanted benefits that normal people thought were unlikely.
So after the concubine Niangniang was seriously ill for half a month, the emperor suddenly issued an order to give the eldest lady of the Wei family to marry the eldest son of Prince An, Zhou Baolu was stunned for a moment, and felt that he was not so surprised.
It turns out that the concubine is pretending to be sick and coquettish, and she wants such benefits! Sure enough, I dare to think about it!
But is that really a benefit?
Zhou Baolu's fleshy paws touched her chin again, is this a marriage or a feud? Reluctant for the emperor to give a girl with a completely mismatched background to marry the eldest son of the prince of the clan, will Prince An still be grateful?
Obviously not, this Zhou Baolu can think of it with his knees, and the emperor also wants to get it, so the emperor gave a decree with the marriage, canonizing the eldest son of Prince An as the son, and then giving the second son of Prince An the title of first-class car captain.
The sense of appeasement is very strong.
Even so, Prince An was angry, this prince who only likes to play and hunt on weekdays, and the things in the imperial capital are all refined, and he doesn't like to abide by the rules.
When King Cheng heard the news, he hurriedly entered the palace to protect his younger brother.
The emperor was originally at a loss, and he also favored Prince An on weekdays, and he was more tolerant, plus King Cheng mediated, Prince An lost his temper and left with his head held high, and the emperor was not good.
Of course, if he loses his temper again, this will has been made clear, and Prince An still has to marry this daughter-in-law according to the day.
Zhou Baolu sighed, she remembered that beautiful little girl like the sun, marrying into the palace like this, I was afraid that this day would be difficult. It's a shame.
Zhou Baolu was sighing for the little girl, and a maid came to report: "Princess An and Lord Ningrong handed over the sign, please see." ”
It's coming so fast! Zhou Baolu hurriedly called for someone to invite, and went out of the door in person to greet him on the steps.
King An's Mansion only received the order yesterday, and today Princess An took her daughter to the East Palace, instead of going to Zhengming Palace to thank her, so to give face, Zhou Baolu couldn't help but accept it, and she couldn't help but cheer.
At this time, it doesn't matter what you say, even if Princess An just came to the palace to ask for advice on how to grow radishes? It doesn't matter, what matters is this scene, where Princess An went after receiving the order, naturally everyone can see it.
The concubine must have seen it too.
So Zhou Baolu also went out to greet him in person.
