Chapter 192: The Lady of the Fourth Grade
The seventeenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Liyang
Yan Kui led the army into Jinglongling, and at the same time, after Di Yi also gathered 200,000 Jin troops, he worshiped Shouyu as a deputy general, and led his troops out of the customs and went to Beiling to fight with the Zhou army.
Tuo's previous excellent performance after Peng Kuohai's poisoning, the two princes of Duanwang and King Jing finally won the initial trust of the generals of the Jin army, and were entrusted with important tasks by Di Yi.
The two of them assisted the former general Guan Guan and Han Zhongcang, the brave general from Sipin, and stayed at the General Pass to be responsible for the city defense garrison and logistics scheduling.
At this point, the two princes can be regarded as officially participating in the high-level core area of the front line in the Northern Jin Dynasty in this battle, unlike the previous one, who only carried the name of the prison army, with a lofty status but no real power, and escaped from a pair of puppets.
Here, there is another thing worth mentioning, Peng Kuohai has now recovered after several days of coma, and is now being sent to the capital for emergency medical treatment.
However, it is difficult to say whether Lao Shuai will be completely detoxified and healed, but it should not be a big problem to save his life.
However, just when the front line was about to set off a new round of war, Qingyuan County, which had been quiet for a long time in Tong'an Mansion, also exploded because of the arrival of a team of people.
…………
Qingyuan County
There is a plum garden in the north of the city fifteen miles, which is owned by the Jiang family, a big family in the city, and there are 3,000 branches of red plum planted in it, the flowers bloom in winter, it is a strange scene in the snow.
Therefore, this Jiangjia Plum Garden has also become a first-class place to enjoy the scenery in the cold winter season of Qingyuan County.
The eighteenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Liyang.
The old lady of the Jiang family celebrated her birthday in the plum garden, and many large families in Qingyuan City came to congratulate her.
Among them, the male guests had their own masters and young masters in the Jiang family's mansion to entertain in the front hall, and the female relatives who came to pay their respects also gathered in the backyard.
At noon, after the birthday banquet, the old lady of the Jiang family went to the backyard stage with her housewife to listen to the play.
And some of the younger young grandmothers and those young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet are impatient with those old-fashioned dramas that they have long been tired of hearing, so they begged Jiang Qin, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, to lead everyone to visit the plum garden and enjoy the delicate red plums in winter.
The guests wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden, and the eldest lady of the Jiang family naturally had no reason to refuse, so she informed the old lady, Jiang Qin, together with several young ladies of the Jiang family, led these guests and their dependents, and was surrounded by a large group of maids and ladies to visit the plum garden.
…………
To say that this Jiang family's plum garden is really worthy of being the first scene in Qingyuan in winter, and the beauty in the garden is really not covered.
Under the guidance of several young ladies of the Jiang family, everyone entered the plum garden, such as entering the sea of flowers, ten thousand red plums, layer by layer, like clouds in the air, like red flames in the night, dazzling and dizzying.
Walk to the front, hold a flower and take a closer look, Aomei has bones, Ling Han stands upright, the breeze blows, the fragrance curls, into the heart and lungs, people can't help but be intoxicated.
"Good scenery, good garden, good winter plums."
The second miss of the Guo family, who had just married the second son of Qingyuan New County, who succeeded Meng Gong, couldn't help but clapped her hands in praise, and the young grandmothers and eldest ladies of the various families on the side also nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qin, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, smiled reservedly, and was humble, but the smugness in her eyes couldn't be stopped.
Everyone walked around for a while, many people felt tired, after all, they are deep boudoir girls (women), on weekdays, the door does not go out of the door, the physique is delicate, this garden walked a little more, it was a little unbearable.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin proposed that everyone go to the verandah in front of them to rest, although everyone was still fascinated by the beautiful scenery in the garden, but due to fatigue, they nodded their heads one after another.
After a while, everyone came to the verandah, and the descendants of the Jiang family moved embroidery stools for these tired young grandmothers and eldest ladies to rest, and brought tea, snacks, and heated braziers and curtains.
However, after a cup of tea, this verandah became a simple small ear room, and in this comfortable environment, everyone settled down, and began the indispensable gossip of the women.
…………
Since it is to talk about gossip, the priority topic must be to chat about the latest news in the county.
Recently, the most sensational topic in Qingyuan County is Yan Kui's great contribution to Ping'an. ”
"Second Sister Guo, Zun Weng is a county prince, and he knows a lot about the affairs of the official, but I know what the market is now, I heard that His Majesty is going to knight him."
The young grandmother of the Yu family, Wu, took the lead in speaking with a mysterious face.
"Knighted? Heck, this is our first lord in Qingyuan, if this is really terrible, it is estimated that the county commander will have to set up a monument for that master. ”
Hearing Wu's words, another plump young woman covered her mouth and shouted softly, but the water was about to overflow between her eyebrows, this woman was the Hou family's eldest and young grandmother Wang.
"It's not so exaggerated."
Seeing Wang's exaggerated appearance, the eldest lady of the Jiang family couldn't help but interject: "This title is high and low, and if you want to erect a monument, you must at least have a marquis or above."
I have established a country for half a hundred, and there are more than 100 people who have been awarded the title of marquis so far, and this is not counting the inheritance of the title, although the merit is great, but it will not be made a marquis in one fell swoop. ”
Jiang Qin's words undoubtedly revealed her knowledge beyond ordinary boudoir girls, and everyone around her nodded one after another, only the Wu family, who originally proposed the title of knighthood, was slightly dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice.
"Even if it can't be sealed, people may be lords, even if they are the lowest lieutenants, someone can't get it if they want to break their heads, it's really red-eyed and sour-mouthed."
…………
Wu's implication made Jiang Qin smile slightly, and even the other people next to him looked embarrassed, and the atmosphere that was friendly before slowly became solidified, and in the end, it was Miss Guo Er who opened her mouth to relieve the siege.
"Okay, okay, it's all your own people, don't hurt the harmony, in fact, what is the future of General Yan, isn't it all the glory of our Qingyuan.
What's more, whether to be knighted or not, that's what the court says, no matter how fierce we quarrel, we can't be the master of the house. ”
Miss Guo Er's own family is rich and powerful, plus she married a good family, and there is a county father-in-law to rely on.
She spoke and mediated, neither Jiang Qin nor Wu dared not sell face, Wu gave Jiang Qin an apologetic look perfunctorily, this matter is considered a fragmented past.
However, the confrontation between the Wu family and Jiang Qin also completely aroused the discussion of Yan Kui among the daughters of these big families in Qingyuan, among which the most talked about was the envy, jealousy and hatred of Huang Weier, the daughter of a tofu vendor, who counterattacked from the daughter of a tofu vendor to the general's wife.
……………
Yes, I don't know when Huang Weier has become the public enemy of most of the women in Qingyuan County, so that Huang Weier has never participated in any Qingyuan women's gatherings since she got married.
She was invariably isolated by everyone............
Of course, this is also related to her identity, her wife is expensive by her husband, as Yan Kui's wife, Huang Weier is almost the only one in Qingyuan, and even the county lady's wife is second to her.
If Huang Weier participates in the Qingyuan women's gathering, then she will really become a standout, and everyone will hold her, which is undoubtedly a shame for these young grandmothers and daughters from big families.
After all, Huang Weier's background is far inferior to them.
In fact, now with Yan Kui's rise and infinite scenery, many big ladies who had the opportunity to marry Yan but refused have regretted their bowels are green.
If they could know that Yan Kui, a martial artist, could get to this position today, where would Huang Wei'er be anything.
But it's a pity that there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world, at the beginning, they regarded themselves as high and unwilling to commit to Yan Kui, a rude martial artist, but now they can only watch Huang Wei'er infinitely honored and beautiful.
With such a gap, how could everyone have a good impression of Huang Wei'er, no, chatting and chatting, some people couldn't hold the sour water in their stomachs, and began to be yin and yang.
…………
"If you want me to say, some people are born with a low personality, and God can't enjoy the wealth in his hands, don't look at the current pride, whether the small life can be saved in the future is two words."
It was none other than Jiang Hua, the third lady of the Jiang family.
This is the old lady of Jiang, and she has been seen by Yan Kui's old lady Chen before, and Chen is satisfied with it, but Miss Jiang San has a high heart and likes gentle literati, so she strongly opposes this family business.
Later, Miss Jiang San got engaged to a Xiucai, but before she got married, that Xiucai died of illness first, and her relatives were yellow, because her reputation was damaged because of this matter, and I am afraid that she will not be able to find any good people in the future.
Because of this, Miss Jiang San hated Huang Wei'er who "robbed" her good son-in-law, and often spoke ill of her, but fortunately, she still had some brains and never named her when she said these words, so although everyone said Huang Wei'er, she didn't make any trouble.
Of course, this is also because Huang Weier and the Yan family are too lazy to deal with this kind of person, they are unreasonable, stupid and ignorant, and such a person will kill himself sooner or later.
However, at this time and now, Miss Jiang San's words still won the approval of many people.
Qingyuan County is so big, after Huang Weier became pregnant, Yan Mansion looked for famous doctors everywhere, and naturally couldn't hide the eyes of people with hearts.
Gradually, the saying that Huang Wei'er was born was cheap and blessed spread in Qingyuan, and with the vigorous promotion of people like Miss Jiang San, this rumor was quite marketable.
Nowadays, there are even many people who are waiting to see Huang Weier's jokes, marrying a husband with a bright future, but they will die twice before they can enjoy two days of happiness.
Sad, sad, sad.........
…………
Just as everyone was muttering to themselves because of Miss Jiang San's words, there was a sudden noise from the front yard, and Miss Jiang frowned, and called the personal maid to check.
After a while, the maid came back, glanced at Miss Jiang San secretly, and bowed her head.
"I just came to the yacha, saying that an angel came to our Qingyuan, and announced the promotion of the second grandmother of Yanfu to the fourth grade of the lady, and the bounty crown was inscribed on the court clothes.
According to the usual practice, we have a newly sealed lady, the female dependents of the officials and gentry in the city, as long as there is no decree with us, we must go to visit and listen...... Listen to the new lady to admonish the woman.
The yacha came to the plum garden, and it was also the county magistrate who heard that the old lady had a big birthday, and the wives of each family paid their respects here, so they specially sent someone to inform the ladies to go to meet the newly sealed lady of the decree as soon as possible. ”
The maid said that, and quietly withdrew from the verandah, leaving only a group of female dependents silent.
This time, even the wife of the mansion has to bow down to Huang Wei'er, after all, they haven't heard that the lady of the mansion has a fate............
What is a wife is valued by a husband, they often heard this sentence in the past, but it is not until today that they really have a new understanding of this sentence.
Everyone was amazed and envious of Huang Wei'er's glory at this time, only Miss Jiang San couldn't help but be jealous in her heart, and said hatefully: "What if you seal your fate, I don't know how many days I can be in it, it's just a short-lived honor." ”
"Shut up."
Miss Jiang scolded Miss Jiang San angrily, and in the past, she just spoke sour words to Huang Weier, after all, Huang Weier's "time is short", and the Jiang family didn't bother to care about her mouth, anyway, she was not the only one who scolded and slandered Huang Weier.
But now it's different, Huang Weier was given a decree, and her identity is completely different from before, she is a woman who is a woman with the support of the imperial court.
Miss Jiang San didn't care what she thought in her heart, but if she spoke ill of Huang Weier, she was caught and sued to the yamen, and the entire Jiang family would have to eat melons.
This truth is not clear to the stupid Miss Jiang San, but the shrewd and capable Miss Jiang has a clear heart.
She sneered, looked at the sister who was still a little unconvinced, and said lightly: "Others don't know, if I can get the four-grade order, even if I can only have a few months of scenery, it's worth it, it's like some people who are flies and dogs, and they look forward to not getting this kind of scenery in their lives." ”
As soon as these words came out, Miss Jiang bowed her knees to everyone, turned around and walked out of the verandah, leaving only the silent crowd and Miss Jiang San, who was so angry with her words............
