14th year of Chongkang, 7th month.

Shenjing West City, Rongguo Mansion.

The endless visits made Jia's mother look extremely bad.

It is in stark contrast to Wang Xifeng, who is full of red light and spring breeze.

In the past few days, Wang Xifeng has really been out of the limelight.

Even back then, although she was loved by Jia's mother and held power, she still treated herself as a junior when she was a junior when she was a junior, and many times she was not even qualified to speak.

Now it's different, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and we all know that one of the prince's most beloved women is the maid who grew up with Wang Xifeng since childhood and entered Jiafu together.

The two are called master and servant, and they are like sisters.

Although Wang Xifeng has a domineering and domineering personality, the one in the palace does not hold grudges at all, and still respects her and loves her very much.

In this way, who would dare to underestimate her?

It was the princess and concubine of the clan who were in front of her, and they also pulled down their identities to talk and laugh with her.

But at this moment, seeing Jia's mother's face so bad, Sister Feng was amused in her heart.

In her opinion, the tiredness of socializing in the past few days is secondary, and the most heartbreaking thing for Jia's mother is the dowry to be sent to the palace.

Although Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most, and has already made up her mind that many treasures will be left to him, but ......

She is also a very decent old woman, and she has lived an old face all her life.

When a woman like the Jia family entered the palace, everyone else saw the Jia family full of flowers and cooking oil, but they didn't think about how much dowry the Jia family would send to the palace......

In fact, Daiyu is easy to do, and the dowry left by Jia Min is enough to ninety-six, which was sent out when the old Rongguo was still alive, and the Jia family married the only concubine.

This dowry, even Mrs. Wang was amazed and envied, and she was also pained by it.

After Jia Min passed away, Daiyu went to Beijing to raise in Jia's family, and later Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Daiyu listened to Jia Cong's words, and moved her family north at a young age, and this dowry naturally returned to Beijing.

Although the dowry for entering the palace this time was not enough, there were also ritual coins rewarded by the palace, which added up to one hundred and twenty-four lifts.

Therefore, even if Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others come out more, they will actually be limited.

Too much is not good, after all, there are cases of the queen and the queen mother in the past, and it is not good to surpass the past.

Supplements are limited.

The trouble is Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun sisters.

Especially Yingchun and Tanchun, they are serious daughters of the Jia family.

Moreover, the palace has revealed the news that Tanchun entered the Eight Phoenix Hall with Baochai.

In the future, most of them will be the concubines of the dynasty!

is also a concubine, can't it be too much worse than Baochai?

But the Xue family's royal merchant family, and only one daughter, are desperately selling their property in Beijing these days, and they have also combined many excellent doors and mansion contracts together, and they want to send them to the palace to make a dowry for Baochai, which is used by her body.

The Jia family knew that the Xue family was like this, in order to make up for Aunt Xue's confusion and not let the palace be jealous.

But outsiders don't know!

Outsiders should only marry a noble concubine into the palace, and they should give so much dowry.

Can Tanchun her mother......

Don't mention it.

This dowry must come from the Jia family after all.

But the silver in the Jia family's officials had already been spent by a certain grandson to repair the Nalaoshizi Grand View Garden.

Originally, Jia Mu and others were worried that Jia Cong would be difficult to control, so they changed their words and used the wealth of the Jia family.

Therefore, when it was taken out to repair the garden, all the people were glad in their hearts.

I didn't want the situation to happen to this point.

If there is no money in the official, he can only think from the side.

Yingchun wanted to embezzle Mrs. Xing's dowry, and Mrs. Xing was stingy all her life, but she saved some things.

Although it is not in the eyes of Jia's mother, it is enough to be married in the spring.

As for Mrs. Xing's deathbed saying that she would give those things to her brother, it was a joke......

The most tricky thing is the spring exploration place.

If you want to make up enough dowry similar to Baochai, it is not enough to sell Aunt Zhao.

And that Aunt Zhao had already spoken, and she would marry a pair of good jade bracelets......

When Jia Mu heard it, she almost wanted to smack her face.

Little!

It's just that......

Mother Jia is sad that she can't even scold Aunt Zhao now.

A daughter is a concubine, a son like a frozen cat. is about to become the head of the capital......

She also has to work hard to prepare a dowry for the three girls.

As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang naturally has to give a share of blood.

Although Mrs. Wang is worshipping the Buddha, the dowry is still outside.

Mother Jia made the decision and asked Sister Feng to peel out a full thirty-two dowries from Mrs. Wang's dowry as a dowry for Tanchun.

And she herself had to bleed, and she gave out a full sixty-four dowry.

Ninety-six lifts, although they are actually a lot worse than the Xue family, but at least they look similar on face.

Mother Jia also lost her old face, and pulled Aunt Xue to prevent her from going south early, and she had to talk about it after discussing the marriage.

It's hard enough to welcome spring and explore spring, don't forget that there are Xiangyun and Ping'er and others.

Needless to say, Xiangyun is the niece and granddaughter of Jia's mother's family.

The big head is naturally loyal to the Marquis of Jing's mansion, but she, who is an aunt and grandmother, can she not pull out a dime?

Twelve were carried out again.

And Ping'er is just a girl, so she doesn't have to accompany anything.

I can't stand the news from the palace that she will live in the side hall of the Mingde Hall in the future, and she will be the identity of the imperial concubine in the future.

In this case, even if the Jia family is exhausted, they have to accompany a dowry to do personal favors.

Otherwise, the high gate of Shenjing is afraid that the Jia family will be laughed at as a flower!

Fortunately, the big head on Ping'er's side is Wang Xifeng......

Sister Feng is not stingy, she gritted her teeth and divided half of her dowry with the private house she had accumulated over the years, and made up a sixty-four dowry.

Jia Mu added another 12 lifts......

Aunt Xue Xu is trying to pull some connections for Baochai, and she also made twelve lifts.

But Ping'er has it, so are Qingwen, Xiangling and others better?

Who knows which cloud will rain in the future?

In case Qingwen, Xiangling, and Chunyan are good at giving birth to children, they will give birth to a group of princes and grandchildren in the future, but they will hold a grudge because the Jia family did not add a dowry at this time......

The Jia family still died unjustly?

Come on, just add twelve dowries to each person.

In this way, the face is glorious, but Jia's mother has accumulated most of her life's private makeup, and almost all of them are empty!

This was originally reserved for Baoyu, but now it was all sent to the palace to the person she disliked the most......

Ouch hey!

Jia Mu's heart is stopped, and she can't bear to think about it, but even crying can only be secretly shed at night.

Otherwise, it will become a joke for outsiders to look at it.

What does it mean to live and not to die, what does it mean to want immortals to die, nothing more than the present.

Jia's mother suffered a big crime, and she couldn't cry for several nights holding Baoyu......

Tomorrow's prince's wedding, today is the time to send makeup into the palace.

Mother Jia was in a frustrated mood, but Sister Feng was festive as if she was celebrating a holiday, and today she was going to enter the palace as a member of the princess clan to give makeup.

You can also meet Ping'er and them!

Although she spent a lot of money, she only has a daughter by her sister's side now, and half of it is enough to leave half of it, and besides, can't she save more in the future?

Sister Qiao is still young, and there are still more than ten years left and right, she is not panicked.

Women in later generations spent money, and women today are equally happy to spend money.

After calculating it like this, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver dowry sent to the palace, and the flowers are not all hers, but she wants to be decent, how can she not be enjoyable?

Seeing her radiant appearance, Jia's mother became more and more unlucky, and she really wanted to smack her face, but now there is still a female history in the official palace of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can she have a seizure?

I had to endure my depression and advise: "After entering the palace, I told the three girls and Ping'er that although we are only medium-sized people, we can't bear to let them be shabby and let people look down on them, and we must let them marry beautifully." Don't think about the family, Baoyu is fine, let them serve faithfully...... Serve the Prince. ”

In the end, he is not faint, and he knows that the scene must be said.

Sister Feng smiled like a flower, and said loudly: "The ancestor can rest assured, there will be no mistakes, and the third sister and Ping'er will know the kindness of the ancestors!" ”

In the past, hearing her laugh so loudly, the lively Jia Mu would feel refreshed, but now, Jia Mu just wanted to take off her socks and fall on that sweet face, waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

After Sister Feng was happy, she went out of Rongqing Hall with Zhao, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongjing, and got on the sedan chair, led by Jia Yun, Lin Zhixiao and others, escorted the dowry of about half a mile of team, and entered the palace with beautiful scenery.

Aunt Xue opened her mouth several times, and the words came to her mouth, but there was still no exit after all.

It wasn't until Sister Feng and the others left that she burst into tears......

……

East Palace.

The Internal Affairs Office had prepared a banquet in the Chongren Hall early in the morning, ready to entertain the princess's relatives.

Ping'er, Baochai, and Tanchun even put down all the things in the harem and came forward in person.

The women of this era are the most important to their mothers and miss their relatives the most.

Although the three daughters lived very comfortably in the palace, they still couldn't help but worry about their relatives.

Even Baochai......

At three o'clock, the three of them, who had been looking forward to it all morning, finally saw the sedan chair entering the palace and the dowry that was almost endless.

The dowry belonging to Daiyu was sent to the Mingde Hall in the main hall of the East Palace, while the dowries of Tanchun, Baochai, Ping'er and others entered the Chongren Hall from several small sedan chairs.

Tanchun and Ping'er were all surprised, they never thought they would get so much dowry.

And Baochai endured and endured it even more, so that the tears were restrained in the eye sockets and did not let them fall......

After Sister Feng and Marquis Zhongjing's wife Zhao got down from the sedan chair, they saw the three girls in palace makeup standing on His Majesty Dan and staring.

The two of them were busy stepping forward, and they wanted to pay a big salute.

But seeing that the three girls came down in a hurry, they personally helped the two of them up, and shed tears before they spoke.

Zhao didn't feel anything yet, but Sister Feng felt it deeply.

Not to mention Ping'er, it is Tanchun and Baochai, and they are also relatives who have been together for many years.

This separation, although they are all in the Shenjing City, is like a heavenly difference.

Ping'er opened her mouth and wanted to call "grandma", but was blocked by Sister Feng first, and said with a tearful smile: "Good ancestor, if you call me grandma again today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out of this palace today." ”

Ping'er is not the same as before, she has studied the palace rules for so long, and she is the person who Jia Cong has decided to live in Mingde Palace, and she knows in her heart that if she meets again as an old person, she is afraid that it will cause right and wrong.

The official learned that she would be impeached, and now that she is in charge of the harem with Baochai and Tanchun, the first thing she has to learn is to maintain the majesty of the heavenly family, which is higher than her life.

So although she was excited at the moment, she still restrained herself in the end, and only referred to her as "you and me".

Although the palace has prepared a wine banquet, how can I have the heart to drink it at this moment.

Zhao was also obedient, after all, he was not familiar with these people, and he was an elder as a female guest, so he took the initiative to mention that it was okay to be accompanied by the palace people, so that Ping'er and the others could talk to Sister Feng.

After Ping'er and the others thanked them repeatedly, they led Sister Feng to the Eight Phoenix Palace.

……

Outside the left silver platform, the cabinet.

Jingcha is in full swing, and the entire officialdom is wailing.

The strong fortress of the capital was broken from the inside, and the cabinet headed by Zhao Qingshan was familiar with the officialdom of the great cadres.

Which people got to power by sneaking around, who were fortunate to get to power because the first emperor wanted to suppress the New Party, and which people were talented and unvirtuous......

During the reign of the first emperor, because the military power was not firm and the throne was not solid, he did his best to balance all parties, and did not dare to let go of any side to sit big.

The fact that the New Party has been able to develop to this point is already the great courage and perseverance of the first emperor to surpass countless emperors.

However, it still cannot let the New Party completely let go of its actions, and does not dare to let Ning Zechen take full control of the government.

I had to mix in a lot of unworthy sand to stabilize the dynasty.

However, when it came to Jia Cong, with the excellent foundation laid by the first emperor, and the martial king who was like a god in the army, he paved the military power for him, coupled with his own wisdom and long-term vision, which made him dare to entrust the power to the cabinet with a resolute heart, so that the cabinet could let go of his hands and feet and show his strength.

There are tens of thousands of officials and officials in Beijing, and there are thousands of witherers.

At least five grades or more rely on greedy, mediocre, and redundant officials who are in high positions, and almost no one has escaped this time.

Zhao Qingshan's ruthlessness shocked the world.

I don't know how many people have gone to the recitals, or impeached or admonished, but all those recitals have been lost in the sea, and there is no news.

Until an ordinary letter was sent to the cabinet, Zhao Qingshan's toughness and domineering did not dare to ignore it, and invited Jia Cong to come.

Because this letter came from the Song family in Jiangnan......

In the room, after reading the letter, Jia Cong was silent for a full cup of tea under the gaze of Zhao Qingshan and others, Fang Leng snorted, casually threw the letter on the table, and said, "How wise Mr. is, but a few senior brothers are not successful!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qingshan, Lin Qinghe, Wei Yi and others all quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

At this point, they can't retreat a single step, and if they take a step back, they will lose their previous achievements and prestige.

It's hard to describe their fate with broken bones.

Fortunately, Jia Cong still did not disappoint them.

"Mr. must not know about this matter, otherwise Song Xian, Song Yuan, and Song Ye will not be allowed to jointly write a letter to Yu Gu, talking about the golden mean, and taking benevolence as the moral government. If you are lonely, you don't believe it, and it is benevolence to hide dirt and dirt? Is it rare to be confused? Taifu ......"

Jia Cong changed his words and said to Zhao Qingshan: "Take this letter to the Guozijian and let the prisoners argue." also passed on these words to the lonely as the topic, and asked them to solve their doubts. Can those corrupt officials, those officials who are incapable of doing anything by sloppy slapping horses, be dismissed? ”

Zhao Qingshan's face changed slightly when he heard this, hesitated, and said, "Your Highness, if this is the case, then the dignity of Song Chan Gong ......"

Jia Cong looked at Zhao Qingshan with deep eyes and said, "Taifu, you don't understand the virtue of my teacher." His deeds are above board, and there is nothing that cannot be said to others. Its nature is as vast as the universe, how can it care about ridicule or praise? ”

After that, he turned around and returned to the harem.

After he left, Lin Qinghe sighed to Zhao Qingshan and said, "Yuanfu, Your Highness is the only one who can truly protect the Song family by doing it with this great courage." It is not a secret to expose secrets to the world. If you don't have any dignity, it will never make it possible for the Song family to sit in Jiangnan. Although Song Changong is wise and virtuous, he is the world's teacher, but in the end there is a spring and autumn. The three sons of the Song family have no outstanding posture, if they inherit the grace of Song Chan Gong and make friends with celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River, they think that they are transcendent, and it is a blessing or a curse. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingshan nodded slowly.

Lin Qinghe said, but he sighed in his heart......

That being the case, it still seems impersonal after all.

The grace of Song Yan and the crown prince is not an exaggeration to say that it is a reinvention of grace.

But the prince of Song Chan is still alive, but the faces of his three sons are about to be trampled on the ground......

Xu saw Lin Qinghe's thoughts, and Wei Yi said coldly: "The third son of the Song family, Bai has been an official for decades, and he wrote to the court in white, half to go and half to suggest to change the government, if His Royal Highness doesn't wake them up once, next time, I'm afraid they will have to raid the house." Colluding with the remnants of the old party, making waves, claiming to be elders, and pointing fingers at His Highness, so bold! ”

Zhao Qingshan waved his hand and sighed: "Don't say it again, making this decision is not easy for His Highness." You are all people who have been up and down in the sea for most of your life, even if you are arrogant and unyielding, you should understand that Your Highness does not have to do this. Now that the government is in the early Qing Dynasty, if His Royal Highness stops believing in this letter at this time, he will be famous in Jiangnan Shilin in an instant, and he will be popular. You must know that the Holy Dragon is not in good health, and the Queen Mother is old, at this time, it is most beneficial for His Highness to stop in moderation. But His Highness has great ambitions, and acts cheaply for the sake of our cabinet, and after all, his will is as unshakable as a rock. Colleagues, how many people have been there for thousands of years? How can I wait and die without bowing down? If you meet such a wise gentleman and still think about stealing and playing tricks, it is really ......"

"Ouch! Ouch! Yuanfu, don't say it, don't say it, don't stop bathing, can't you still do it? ”

Lin Qinghe saw Zhao Qingshan spraying the smell of garlic and said bitterly to him, and the whole person almost collapsed, and he told him again and again.

Hubu Shangshu Zuo Zhongqi smiled and said: "Yuanfu, I don't want to be lazy, but tomorrow is the prince's wedding......"

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, he couldn't figure it out: "The prince's wedding, are you going to be a concubine?" ”

Zuo Zhongqi's old face froze instantly, and he almost blurted out: "I'm sorry for your mother!" ”

The prime minister is the best man, and the prince's wedding also has a concubine, but those are all princes, and he is a serious family scholar who ran to the prince as a courtier, and his ancestors can crawl out of the ancestral grave and smack him in the face, and then scold a "minister".

This old bastard is mean-spoken!

Zhao Qingshan ignored Zuo Zhongqi, who was almost angry, and said loudly: "The court affairs are so heavy, we handle the official affairs well, we must not go out of the basket at the prince's wedding, and do our duty to do the court affairs well, which is the biggest congratulatory gift!" These old faces, don't go to join in the fun. Your Highness is not a person with a good name, otherwise it would not be our turn to be occupied by our stinky and hard old stones. Let's do it!! ”

After roaring, Zhao Qingshan kept turning back to the duty room and dealing with the cumbersome government affairs.

Lin Qinghe and the others smiled bitterly, but they didn't dare to stop, otherwise next time it would not be a garlic-smelling sprinkler irrigation, but a direct smell of stinky tofu and rotten eggs, would that person still be alive?

……
