173 Crown Princes
However, the owners of the house are convenient, but the minions have a lot less oil and water, and there are a lot of people who are passive and slacking off for a while, and many errands no longer need so many people because of the direct money, there are more idle people, the minions began to be lazy and slippery, drinking and playing cards, and there are also those who work hard and want to go to the master's yard to do things.
In the past, the kitchen was the hardest, no one wanted to come, but now it's different, this is the only place where there is still a little oil and water, and Hui learned from Yang Lan's idea and experience of the contracting responsibility system when he was in charge of the kitchen, and after a slight modification, it was used in the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen was rewarded, and there was no need to stealthily take the money, so naturally the waist pole was much straighter.
This back and forth seems to be a bit chaotic, but the strange thing is that Princess Hui didn't say anything, and the third lady didn't even speak, the old lady had already said that she really didn't ask anything about it, anyway, no one could miss hers.
There are those sharp-eyed and bright-hearted, and they are working harder and harder, for fear that one day they will cut themselves off.
Not long after Yang Hao came back, it was only a few days of hard work, and the Rong family sent someone to make up his mind, Rong Yi deliberately went to catch two live geese in person, and he was in good spirits, and he was locked in a cage and kept screaming, which attracted many people to stop and watch.
Followed by a lot of complicated etiquette, the lottery, the exchange of Geng posts, the levy, the marriage book, the bride price, etc., all have to be done according to the rules, until the end of August.
After completing his daughter's marriage ceremony, He Hui was busy with his son's marriage ceremony, and the two of them just missed half a month's time, and they just had a good life. Yang Hao was born in martial arts. Deliberately ran to the vicinity of the West Mountain Forest Farm. caught a pair of live geese and sent them back to Cui's house.
By the time this is done, it's mid-September, and it's already the crisp season of autumn. The second lady came back by boat with her daughter and son, and the son was about to take a scientific expedition, so she came back in advance to prepare, so that her daughter was also married, and she wanted to prepare for the dowry.
The happiest is naturally Yang Lan, because the second aunt and the second sister came back and brought her a lot of Jiangnan novelty gifts, and the second aunt didn't catch up because of Yang Lan's wedding gift. This time I gave her two sets of head jewelry, one is gold inlaid with rubies, I heard that it is an ancestral old craft in Jiangnan, exquisite and elegant, dignified and elegant.
The other set is exactly the same as the two sisters, pearl head jewelry, most of which are large pink and purple pearls, which are smooth and gorgeous, with the size of a dragon's eye, which is very rare.
The sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. The natural intimacy is abnormal, so that the kitchen has a few dishes. The sisters talked together, talked about the changes in the family to the second sister, and also talked about the new things in Jiangnan, and the sisters who hadn't seen each other for a long time were very affectionate.
At this time, the father and brother are busy non-stop, and the previous dynasty also has a lot of things to be busy with, the six princes because of the Jiangnan salt administration handled very well, the emperor has officially approved the six princes to discuss the court, and they are even closer, and the courtiers have seen the emperor teach the government many times, and every time a courtier comes to discuss the matter, he will be able to see the six princes to observe.
This time, as a group of ministers, it gradually spread, and some people began to play excerpts to ask for the sixth prince Chu Yu to be the candidate for the crown prince, and this time the emperor seemed to have signs of loosening.
In October, preparations began to be made for the sacrifice to the heavens, and all the orderly preparations began, and the sacrifices were very complicated and solemn, and no mistakes were allowed, so it was necessary to prepare early in advance, waiting for the winter solstice emperor to go to the heavens.
In mid-October, some courtiers once again went to the book to ask for the establishment of a candidate for the prince, and this time the candidate had two more princes, and the emperor was unswerving, and he did not suppress it.
In November, someone went to the book again, and this time the number of people in the court was more than half of the number, and it was proposed to support the queen's concubine Chu Yu as the candidate for the prince, and the emperor was happy and officially issued an edict.
Confession
Cover the foundation of all nations, belong to Yuanliang; The weight of the main weapon belongs to the virtuous son. I Gong Yingjing, the heir to Pitu, far from the right in the early construction of the text, close to the ancestors of the classics, follow the order of the sky, the style is the right storage. Chu Yu, the sixth son of Shier, was born by the queen Chen of Kunning Palace. auspicious rainbow Zhu, dreaming of the charm of the earthquake; Yude Dragon Building, the hope of allowing Xie to leave. It is to use the book treasure to confer the crown prince, and he is in the east palace.
Chin this.
This book was openly announced in the court, and the ministers bowed their heads, so far the court competition for the prince ended with the victory of the queen's concubine, and the situation in the court became more and more clear and stable.
The six princes moved to the East Palace, preparing to marry the side concubine Lu Shuijing and the crown princess Tao Rufang next year. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River has made contributions to the saddle of the road, which can be said to have given the greatest convenience and strength, and it is indeed a lot of effort.
And Zuo Xiang is not ambiguous, in the matter of supporting the crown prince, he united with several major families such as the Yang family and the noble and famous Yushi and others, and sincerely cried three times in a row.
Although the sixth prince was named the crown prince, he was only a little worse than the emperor in terms of specifications, but his attitude was still respectful and polite, and he was respectful to his father, and his diet and daily life were the same as before, and he did not dare to be arrogant and wasteful, which attracted a voice of praise from the courtiers, and the emperor was very satisfied.
The queen is as gentle and humble as before, serving the queen mother as diligent as before, never slacking off, treating the emperor as close and dependent as in the past, being cautious has never been a bad thing, and treating subordinates is even more tight inside, especially the minions who go out of Kunning Palace, never allow the slightest arrogance and arrogance to spread, and the slaves who make mistakes will not be tolerated.
In November, the emperor announced that he would bring the crown prince to worship the heavens, announcing to the world and announcing the prince's orthodox status.
There are a lot of things in the court, although the prince is supported, but the situation is not as harmonious as it seems, the prince follows the emperor to study state affairs, and another emperor is set up to give guidance.
Yang Xu was named the head of the household department, it was to take over the household department, Yang Hao became the captain of the Jinyi guard to give marriage to the Cui family, Yang Lin was transferred to the Jinyi guard to help, and Yang Pei entered the inspectorate, and the transfer of several men of the Yang family also made the courtiers talk about it below, and the water surface became more and more uncalm.
At the end of November, war broke out again in southern Xinjiang, and Nan'an waited for an increase in military pay expenditures, which caused an uproar in the court and discussions. At this time, the day of the sacrifice is not far away. If there is a bad one. It affected the emperor's reputation, which was greatly unlucky, and the emperor's face was gloomy and ugly.
The unrest of the court also affected the house, and Hui quickly cut through the mess, taking advantage of the eldest son's upcoming wedding, he counted a number of minions in the house, and released him to be good citizens, not to redeem the silver. Just send someone from your family to get it.
As for the minions who make mistakes, they sell what they should sell, and take away what they should go, and they only cease until the beginning of December.
Nan'anhou's military salary caused a lot of discussions, and finally King An expressed his willingness to share the worries of his father, and asked to go to the northwest to promote the prestige of my great Chu.
This excerpt has been issued, which immediately attracted the refutation of many military attachΓ©s, but the Rong and Yang families expressed their support, and Yang Xu openly praised King An in the court as a good general, which can be of great use!
In the end, the emperor ordered to be sympathetic to Nan'an's old age and infirmity, and Wang An was in charge. Nan'an can wait to assist from the side.
The son of Nan'an Hou was transferred to the post of waiter of the Ministry of Rites and was added to the rank of official. Bestow jewels and silver on his family as a token of grace.
The court is thrilling, the Yang family is a lot cleaner, Yang Lan also put on a heavy winter coat, she has been nesting in the house in the cold weather recently, embroidering clothes, shoes and socks for a few brothers, picking a good afternoon to take out the big wool clothes to dry, and a lot of beautiful furs came in the Zhuangzi.
"Lan'er, come and see, what kind of skin do you like, let the people make you a big body." He Hui happily pointed to the furs on the table.
Yang Lan looked up with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and sure enough, there were several kinds of fur materials, including white fox skin, red fox skin, black fox skin, rabbit skin, lamb skin, sable skin, silver mouse skin, the fur was oily and smooth, it was really good.
"This red fox fur is really beautiful and eye-catching, but it's a pity that there are too few, otherwise it would be really eye-catching to make a cloak." Yang Lan took a fancy to the red fox fur at a glance, but unfortunately there was only one piece and there were not many of them.
When He Hui heard this, he immediately pulled the red fox skin to his hand and said, "I remember that the palace still wants to have it, right?" I'll go find it for you, and try to make you a cloak to wear, this leather is good-looking, and it's really not bad to make a white fox fur cloak. β
Yang Lan came to the front and picked a few more pieces, choosing sable skin, lambskin material, this can be used as a boot lining is particularly warm, and there are more silver rat skins, this can be made into a cape.
Mama Zhang walked in, "Master, the son of the Rong family sent a little servant over, and sent two red fox skins and white fox skins, as well as a complete white tiger skin, saying that it was collected from the northwest, and the white tiger skin was honored by the people, and the Marquis Rong left a yellow one, and Young Master Rong took the white one over, because he wanted to study, the day was getting closer and closer, so he didn't come." β
He Hui smiled in surprise, "Take it in and let me see, why just said the red fox skin, this red fox skin is here." This kid has a good eye, and he knows that my daughter looks good in red. β
Mama Zhang asked people to carry the box in, opened it and took a look, the top one was really a red fox skin, two complete ones, oily and slippery, fiery red color, very good-looking.
"That's right, I don't need my mother to go to the palace to ask for someone, just make a gown, we both have enough." Yang Lan suddenly had an idea.
He Hui asked curiously, "How?" β
"Make a warm hat, a big fur collar, a little raw cuffs, hem hem, if there is a little bit left that can be inlaid on the cape hat, it also looks good." Yang Lan couldn't see enough to make a cloak, and felt that it was a big fuss to run into the palace for a fur, so she could simply take it apart and come out with a good look.
He Hui understood at this time, and immediately smiled, with warmth in his eyes, "It's not good, it's too wasteful to open such a complete skin, I happened to enter the palace tomorrow, I heard that your uncle still has a lot of good fox skins in his hands, I'll go and get some more." β
Yang Lan didn't argue, just smiled: "Then I'll bring the Queen Mother's warm hat and bijia too, I use sable skin to warm me, and the collar of Bijia is inlaid with silver rat skin, can I think it's okay?" β
"Cheng, the queen mother you embroidered likes it very much." He Huiman said nonchalantly.
She went through the box again, took out a complete white tiger skin inside, nodded and praised: "It's really a good skin, it's rare." β
"Would you like to put it on the mattress in his study?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it, I estimate that your father will dedicate it to your uncle nine times out of ten." And Hui pursed his lips to understand the opening.
Yang Lan thought about it and couldn't do anything, and said, "Then I'll use the white fox skin to sew one for my father, and it looks good." β
"The lambskin mattress you sewn a few days ago is very warm, this thing is just fresh, don't care about it." He Hui comforts her daughter. (To be continued......)
