Jia Min gave birth to a delicate little girl on the day of the Twelve Flowers Festival in February, and after more than ten years of husband and wife, she became parents again, and she was still a delicate female doll who even cried, and she didn't know how to hurt this daughter for a while. Even Lin Rui, the elder brother who began to think that his sister was slightly ugly, now comes to Jia Min's room to see his sister first thing after school every day, and he happily uses his sister as a model, splashing ink every day, and painting one portrait after another for his sister.

The little doll in the moon is white and mellow day by day, and even the crying is much stronger. Jia Min, who had been worried about her daughter's health, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Washing three, full moon, and 100 days, the officials and salt merchants in Jiangnan took this opportunity to give gifts to Lin Ruhai, and they were afraid of his temperament, and they didn't dare to stay away from the novelty and expensive, only within the scope of the normal gift list, seeking innovation, change, and curiosity. Emma, it's hard to die.

Jia Min looked at the various fabrics and head jewelry in the room, and had a headache so that everyone moved into the warehouse, and they all had time to take a closer look. Also, countless collars, all kinds of longevity locks, plus bracelets and anklets, it is expected that her daughter will change one a day, and she will not bring the same one for a year. "Keep all these things in a book and keep them alone. Then he brought the saint and the queen what he had given him, and brought it to the girl. ”

Jia Min gave birth to a daughter, and the news naturally spread back to the capital a long time ago, and Xiao Jin and Cui's had their own rewards, and they were all given from three to 100 days. Even the three older princes, Xiao Chen, Xiao Wei, and Xiao Jue, each gave gifts.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Wei are okay, they have deep feelings for the Lin family, and Xiao Jue is not familiar with them. It's just that the father, mother, and elder brother often talk about it, so they have a deep impression. It's just that for the newly-born little girl of the Lin family, except for the ignorant little five, the other four brothers still have a lot of interest.

They had five brothers and no sisters. There is one at my uncle's house. But none of them were interested, let alone the minister's family, and the only one who was closer was his uncle's daughter. But that's my cousin, who is a few years older than them, and now they are all married and have children. As for the cousin, I'm sorry, they're all concubines, and even their mother can't remember to call them in to have a look, let alone them. It's not familiar at all.

Xiao Wei and the others are fine, but as the eldest and watching his younger brothers grow up, Xiao Chen is very eager to have a younger sister. Especially his friend, in his daily letters, there is more content about his sister. Today my sister has turned white; Tomorrow, ah, my sister will laugh; The day after tomorrow, my sister shook my finger. Her hands are so small and soft. In such a series of reports, he aroused his long-lost eldest brotherly affection for Sister Lin. Although he hasn't seen the real thing yet, it doesn't prevent him from caring about everything.

The first thing I do to care about my little sister is. "Did my uncle name my sister? If I haven't decided yet, I've thought about a few. Then, attached to the letter, there are three pages of the name.

Question about my sister's name. Lin Rui also has a lot of suggestions, but his sister's name is the right of his parents, and he can only look at his sister after 100 days. Go and ask his mother, "Did my sister have a name?" He went to the cradle and teased his sister-in-law, and then said unwillingly: "Achen has sent a letter and named his sister." ”

Jia Min laughed and teased him, "What about you?" Didn't you pick it up? ”

Lin Rui nodded solemnly, "I've read a lot of books and thought about a lot, but I don't think it's good." ”

Jia Min smiled: "Then you think now, if it's good, you can use it for your sister." "Although the Red Mansion without Daiyu is not a Red Mansion, but their husband and wife themselves live in reality, what does it have to do with the story in the book? Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't want their daughter to be called Daiyu, but they didn't want to call Daiyu, and they couldn't think of any appropriate names for a while, so they could only call them babies and obediently. Now, it's not bad for my son to pick it up.

Lin Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Jia Min nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true." ”

"Great, I'll think of the best." Lin Rui almost jumped off the chair, turned his hands behind his back, and circled around the room, his good-looking sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and there were words in his mouth, and he shook his head to deny it from time to time. In the end, I asked someone to bring a bunch of books and read them with great seriousness.

When Lin Ruhai came back, he looked at his son like this and asked curiously, "What is he doing?" ”

"I'm thinking of a name for the obedient." Jia Min replied without raising her head, she was sewing a small dress in her hand, which was made for her daughter. Her craftsmanship has not improved much for more than ten years, which made Lin Ruhai frown, and couldn't help but reach out and grab it, "I'll come, you go and see if dinner is ready." ”

Jia Min regretted letting go and letting her husband go to work, and sighed, "After so many years, why haven't I been enlightened here?" ”

Lin Ruhai flew the needle and walked the line, looking very skillful, "I'll just open my mind, you just have to do what you like, you don't have to be reluctant." ”

Jia Min is very calm about this, anyway, she is the person with crippled hands, and she just hopes that her daughter will not be like her.

Today's dinner, Lin Rui didn't know how to eat, he just picked up the rice in the bowl, his eyes were empty, and he knew that his little head hadn't rested yet. Lin Ruhai still couldn't look at it, so he knocked him, "Eat well." ”

"Ah, okay." Lin Rui smiled embarrassedly, grabbed the tip of the chopsticks, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed and swallowed them at will, and then continued to eat the white rice. Seeing that the husband and wife shook their heads, they didn't bother him, but just took their son's favorite food into his bowl.

After dinner, Lin Rui circled around his sister, looking at her white and tender little face, two bent thin eyebrows, no cultivation or painting, a natural flow of grace, a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "Daiyu, my sister is called Daiyu!" After that, it's up to his father.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were stunned as early as when their son called out the familiar name, and waited until Lin Rui asked suspiciously: "Dad, mother, isn't this name good?" ”

Jia Min was the first to come back to his senses, and suddenly seemed to have thrown some baggage or something, and laughed very easily, "Okay, fresh and chic, my sister's name is Daiyu." ”

Lin Ruhai also smiled and nodded, and patted his son's immature shoulder, "Not bad, very good." ”

Lin Rui's eyes widened, this could be regarded as agreeing with his idea. Seeing his parents smiling and nodding at the same time, he woke up like a dream, the corners of his mouth opened uncontrollably, revealing a particularly silly smile, leaning over to touch his sister's tender little face, and said happily: "Sister, do you like the name that my brother gave you." ”

The little girl made a special "ahhhhh The delicate and abnormal, which also made the successful brother laugh even more silly, "Dad, mother, you see, my sister agreed, and she smiled at me." ”

Jia Min went over to pick up her little daughter and kissed her little face lovingly, "It's time to breastfeed." Then he looked at his eldest son, "You should go to sleep, too." Ming'er is still in school. ”

"Oh." Although Lin Rui was still a little reluctant, he also got up sensibly, saluted Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, said good night, and went back to his yard.

Before going to bed, I still wrote a letter to my friends, and the theme of today's report is, "My sister is famous, called Daiyu." Or I took it, you envy it! ”

His Royal Highness the Prince-to-be has no time to envy now, and after his mother's post-canonization ceremony, it will be the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince. As the future prince. He was so busy that he even read letters from his friends before going to bed. Of course, envy, jealousy, hatred and hatred. They all moved to dreams.

The crown prince was established, and the officials of the East Palace and Zhan Shifu were also selected in advance, after the crown prince was on the throne. I took office. The official configuration of the Zhan Mansion of the national dynasty still follows that of the previous dynasty, and the officials of the DPRK and China work part-time. Hundreds of civil and military officials have come to the table to congratulate the new prince. Lin Ruhai inevitably also got on the fold, but he was very depressed and mentioned it to Xiao Jin afterwards, "That fold is almost not tired, it's nothing, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the words are elegant, it's really enough." There is no practical use at all, and it is a waste of time and paper...... From this, it came to the officials' folds, 'If you have something to say, you have nothing to say, and if you have nothing to do, you should write less sycophants...... Oh, I'm sorry, it's a dragon's fart excerpt, you still have to read all the books, and you have to criticize all the books, even if it's just writing a word, it's very tiring, right? ”

When Xiao Jin received this letter, he couldn't laugh or cry. He, a junior brother, often emits some inexplicable feelings, and he is used to them.

The new prince has a lot of concern, he has a lot to learn, and then he has a lot to do, he can't wait to live a day as if it were three days, and he has to see some excerpts that are useless, very irritable.

At that time, the emperor's filial piety period had passed, and the question of the number of his little wives was finally raised by the ministers who had endured it for a long time. When some people can see that the queen has five sons, judging from the close relationship between the emperor and the queen, maybe there will be another child. A queen with five concubines has a very stable position. The status of his family is not bad, and the person who sends the girl into the palace is not the back position, or the position of the queen mother. Now, whether it is the queen or the queen mother, there is very little hope, so what is the waste of a well-bred daughter, it is more important to stay and be a good son-in-law. However, some unimportant concubines will be sent in if they are sent in, which is better than nothing. There are many people who have such ideas, and of course there are also those who want to be the emperor's cheap father-in-law.

No one expected that Xiao Jin first released a batch of elderly palace maids and ordered them to go home, and then from the note sheet used by the queen for the first time, it was stipulated that the palace maids who served in the palace would be released from the palace when they reached the age of twenty-three. As for himself, he just became the emperor, he is not familiar with the business, and he has too many ideas, so he has to realize it slowly, and he has no time to sleep, so he has the leisure to ask for a little wife.

The emperor is unwilling to expand the harem, and these ministers can't press him to do it? What's more, not having more concubines is a good quality of the emperor's bad beauty, and he has nothing to say if he wants to scold or admonish.

Some people also said, the emperor has few heirs?

The emperor said, "I have five sons, and the eldest son is thirteen, and in two years I will be able to marry and have children." Besides, the existing concubines in the palace are still young, and they can all give birth.

At that time, Xiao Jin was worried, his father had many women, and he was also amorous, plus he was energetic, and the number of children was very large. Not counting the older princes and princesses, but there are only seven who are still under the age of ten this year. Two princes, five princesses, plus those over ten years old, three men and five women, these are his responsibilities. If you are young, you must take care of it, and you can't let people treat it slowly. You also have to choose teachers, care about your studies, and be careful about their physical health, call from time to time to take a look, brush up on brotherhood or something.

The older ones have to be given titles, built mansions, managed marriages, and fiefs. Nima, it all costs money! Now that the treasury is not abundant, his small treasury is cleaner than his face, and when he is a brother and sister, it is enough to be sorrowful. Since he has reached people, he doesn't want to die in the future, and his son will be guilty of the same sorrow as himself.

Moreover, when he was still King Ning, he chatted with Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze. Lin Ruhai smiled, the clan of the previous dynasty was huge, especially the first few emperors, and the number of children was in double digits. Be happy when you are born. If you raise it, it will drag down the country. The prince's fiefdom and the princess's fat powder field, these do not need to be taxed, and good land must be given, and then the state will give them all kinds of money every year. That's it, the state has to lose a lot of tax money. There were more and more people in the clan, the court couldn't afford to support them, the people were driven crazy, and the country itself was defeated.

Xiao Jin was quite unimpressed at first. Because he was King Ning at the time, he felt that as the emperor, the master should raise them. But now that he is the emperor, he immediately changed his mind. Even if they are all from the same ancestor, they can't stop a poor emperor, and it is not pleasing to see his rich relatives.

If he meows, he must formulate a strict system, and he will never tolerate the removal of children from the country. This sub. is the son-in-law, the original son-in-law, and the son of the stepfamily wants to succeed to the throne, and he has to report. Lao Tzu only gives it when he is in a good mood, and if he is in a bad mood, he will remove the country as well.

The saint did not plan to expand the harem, and even the palace maids in the original palace had to let go of many of them. This made the Jia family, who had already decided to send their granddaughter to the palace, a little devastated. Seeing people with the same intentions. is already desperate to choose a husband for her daughter, but Mrs. Wang is very unwilling. Anyway, my daughter is still young and waiting to get up. Leave it for two or three years.

Yuan Chun is only thirteen years old this year, very similar to Mrs. Wang, with slightly plump skin, delicate face, plus reading and literacy, and proficient in piano skills, he is still quite famous in the circle of nobles in the capital. My daughter is good, naturally someone comes to ask for it. Those who came to talk through were all sent away by Mrs. Wang, "Don't look at her being born strong now, she was very weak when she was a child." I only have such a daughter, I really love her for the first time, and I want to keep her for two more years. ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang said this, naturally no one would come to the door again. There are also those who have bright eyes and bright hearts, and tell people in private: "This is not giving up, and I plan to send my daughter to the palace." ”

"Her sister-in-law has a very close past with the queen, and our daughter can't send it in, and her family is really impossible."

If you are jealous, you will laugh, "If you tell the queen to ask for a good family for her daughter, Jia Min's face will be enough." But this is to enter the palace to compete for favor, is the queen such a generous person? "Isn't it, really generous, can you wrap up all the saint's children by yourself, and don't let anyone else give birth to half of them? It's easy for a beauty to get pregnant, and in the end she had a miscarriage, and she was thrown into the palace on the edge without dying, and now she doesn't even have a high name.

Now no one in the palace and outside the palace does not know that the saint has a very good relationship with the queen's mother, and most of the time in the month is in the queen's palace, and the remaining ten days are to go to the days of solitude, and recruit concubines, only once or twice, and even once or twice when they are not recruited.

But the world is like this, even if he says sour things in private, he still has to flatter the queen on the surface, in order to leave a shadow in the queen's heart.

Jia Yuanchun's marriage can be put aside for a while, but Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, who have grown up, have reached the age when they should marry a wife. Jia Zheng is envious of scholars, and for the wife of his eldest son, he has to choose a scholar's daughter in public and private. Nowadays, the Korean and Chinese and Thai officials are all promoted by the imperial examination. It's just that there is a slight difference here, just like the Jinshi and the same Jinshi, the difference between the words, this status has to be on that again. There are also many people who are appointed as officials, and this kind of person is even more repeated. It's a jinshi, and if you haven't entered Hanlin, it's not the same.

After picking and choosing, Jia Zheng finally chose the daughter of the prince of the country to supervise the wine. He made up his mind here, and reported to Jia's mother first when he went home. Jia Zhu learns well, is handsome, and is a compatriot with Jia Baoyu, so Jia's mother likes it very much. After listening to the second son's idea, Jia's mother pondered for a moment before she spoke: "This granddaughter-in-law has chosen a good one, I will find someone to talk to their family, if you are also interested, you can ask the matchmaker to agree." ”

Mrs. Wang's heart churned when she heard it, her son marrying a wife was such a big event, and her husband didn't even mention it to her, so he made it himself. Even the mother-in-law didn't think to ask her about being a mother, it was too much.

She suppressed the irritation in her heart and said with a smile: "I don't know what that girl is like?" What is the temperament? The daughter-in-law thought, it is better to take a look first. ”

Mother Jia waved her hand, "No need, I have seen the girl that the second child said, she is a sensible and knowledgeable child." ”

In a word, Mrs. Wang had no room to turn around, so she had no choice but to hate in her heart, pulled the veil tightly, and lowered her head slightly. Yuan Chun, who was sitting next to Jia's mother, looked at her mother with a little worry, and it wasn't until Jia's mother called her that she withdrew her gaze and smiled: "What did the old lady tell me to do?" ”

Jia Mu smiled and patted her, "Baoyu should wake up, you go and take a look, so as to save him from making trouble again." "There are some things that these unmarried little girls shouldn't have listened to, and they should have sent her out just now, but she forgot about them for a while.

Yuan Chun got up and said with a smile: "No, I just looked straight at doing needlework, and I even forgot the time." After speaking, he blessed Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and went out.

When Jia Mu saw Yuan Chun go out, she asked: "Yuan Chun is also getting older, and the sage said that if he doesn't choose someone to enter the palace, we should also find a good family for her." ”

Yuan Chun is a daughter, and Jia Zheng is really not easy to manage. He smiled and said: "The big girl has always been raised by the old lady's side, and this marriage has to be given by the old lady." ”

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't help but speak, "I also paid attention to a few, either it's worse here or it's not good there." I only have this one daughter, I don't want to wronged her, and besides, she is not very old, and she still has the kung fu to look at it slowly. ”

This time, Mother Jia nodded, "That's the case, if your daughter marries out, she is someone else's family, and if it's better than bad, let's not say much, we have to pay attention to it, and choose a full four corners, which is what a father and mother who loves their daughter should do." For a while, he said Jia Zheng, "You see a lot of people outside, there are that good young people, take a look at it, it's nothing if the foundation of the family is thinner, the key is the person's duty, and you know that you are motivated, and your parents are kind." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, my son wrote it down." ”

After talking about Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, Jia Mu mentioned Jia Lian, and her face was full of helplessness and depression: "Your eldest brother, who is blindly good at wine, messes around with those little wives all day long. Now that his son is older, he should marry a daughter-in-law, he doesn't have a charter to say, and he doesn't even have an idea. Now, he hates me, and he does not come to me. You go and ask him what kind of daughter-in-law he wants to marry. ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly got up and answered, "Yes, my son will tell my eldest brother." ”

Jia Yu also has a plan for his son's marriage, and he himself is a knight, so he naturally refuses to marry the daughter of an ordinary official. But those who are in high positions have no relationship with themselves, and now they are scratching their heads. When his younger brother came to tell him, he took Mrs. Xing and got up to find Jia's mother.

entered the main room, saluted Jia's mother, and sat down. Mother Jia saw that he was also old, and her son was going to ask for a daughter-in-law, and some words were not easy to train, so she could only ask: "What are your plans for Lian'er?" ”

Jia Yu said with a smile: "My son naturally wants to marry a daughter-in-law with all four corners for Brother Lian, but my son is a man, and I can't know what the girls are like." She ...... and pointed at Xing, "I have seen very little of the world, and I can't get on the stage, and I have to trouble the old lady." ”

Mother Jia asked, "Do you have a crush on that girl?" ”

"The daughter of Liu Fang, the princess of Liguo." Jia Yu naturally had a goal, but as soon as he mentioned it to Liu Fang, he was diverted by him, and he just refused to answer.

Mother Jia shook her head, "I heard that Liu Fang's daughter-in-law has the heart to marry her daughter back to her parents' family. "Liu Fang, who is now a first-class son of the Liguo family, originally married the daughter of a fifth-grade official, and many people laughed at it, but now look at it. The five-grade official of the year has now become the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and his son is now in the household department, and he is also in the Langzhong. Let normal people choose, and they know what to do.

Jia Yu was disappointed, "What about Qi Guogong?" ”

Jia Mu still shook her head, she had already privately agreed with the Marquis of Qingyuan, the last time they went to Dongping Palace, they also laughed and joked, saying that they wanted to ask for a cup of wine to drink.

Jia Yu sighed, "My son just looked at these two. "None of them worked.

Jia's mother can't either, and some families don't look down on Jia Yu and refuse to marry their daughter. With that Ken, she can't even look at it, how can she be worthy of her grandson.

When everyone was in a dilemma, Mrs. Wang said: "My brother's daughter, whose scientific name is Xifeng, is a good match with Brother Lian. ”

"Yo, I remembered what you said, but that girl who spoke very neatly and crisply, her nickname was Brother Feng." Jia Mu asked with a smile.

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Exactly." ”

Jia Mu smiled and sighed, "I'll look at it." (To be continued......)
