Chapter 138: Concubine Cao De is favored
Xiao Miao is really lost and regained
Cao Huifang gradually became favored
Lu Shichang held a pure gin glass, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, a little fluttering. Look at it again, it's broken: no one in the family is around.
After looking around, my sister and wife were found, but their daughter was missing. I can't help but regret it, there are many people on the street, different behaviors, and my daughter is lost, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Come to think of it, I really shouldn't be competitive, go to drink and fill in the words, if the person is gone, what use does this yellow and clear Rausch have!
The three of them looked separately, but they didn't find it, so they hurriedly cried and begged Li Renyou with a sad face. Li Renyou ordered everyone in the family to wait, and after Lu Qinqin found out, she also asked the servants in the house to help.
The next morning, the Lu family was in a hurry, and Liu Lu's wife, Ma Yuzhen, arrived, asked Li Renyou if there was a niece surnamed Lu who was lost, and told him:
This girl named Miao Zhen met her cousin, and she is still in his restaurant.
Ma Yuzhen's cousin Luo Conggang had just been wronged, and the husband and wife came to their cousin's house. I can't help but say, kneeling down is three rings. Luo Conggang said sincerely:
Sister, brother-in-law, it wasn't you who came to the rescue, I Luo had become a ghost from the beginning, and I didn't thank you, my husband and wife have been cattle and horses for you since then, and they are also willing.
Liu Lan said: It's serious, as the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, and wronging is only temporary. What's next?
Now the hometown is destitute, there are only a few dilapidated houses left, the children are handed over to the grandmother, we come to Lin'an to find work, God is hungry and blind, as long as you are willing to work, you will have a good life.
Good, ambitious. Liu Xuan glanced at Ma Yuzhen, you say:
I discussed with your brother-in-law to open a restaurant, which is neither small nor big, and we will pay for your efforts. How about doubling your wages, you see?
As long as my sister and brother-in-law believe in us, it doesn't matter if we take the money or not, we promise to work hard.
In this way, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and now the Taifeng Building in the capital has become quite famous.
Last night, near Taifeng Building, I saw a girl at a loss, I asked tears in my eyes, and I didn't find her family, so I took her back to the hotel and learned that her aunt's name was Li Renyou, and persuaded the little girl to rest assured that she would be sent home.
Luo Conggang vaguely remembered that his brother-in-law Liu Ling seemed to have mentioned Li Renyou, and he hurriedly sent someone to his cousin's house to inquire. Ma Yuzhen learned that he personally went to Qingfengfang Li Mansion to inquire.
Lost and regained, a false alarm, and suddenly turned into a happy event. That Ma Yuzhen just glanced at it, and fell in love with this little girl with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and Luo Conggang happened to have a twelve-year-old son, she came forward to say yes, and married Miao Zhen to Luo Conggang's son.
A good thing caused by accident made the two families thousands of miles apart get married.
In the palace, too, changes have taken place. Since Yang became the queen, Cao Meiren's grade has also been improved repeatedly.
Compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, the number of harem concubines in this dynasty has been greatly reduced. After the court became more and more stable, Gaozong suffered from infertility again, at this time, there were many concubines, for him, it was not enjoyment but torture; Xiaozong is adopted, and he is interested in restoring the Central Plains, and the number of concubines will only be less than Gaozong's; Guangzong is a strict wife, even praising the palace maid will bring death to others, with the tigress Li Fengniang in charge, who else in the harem dares to come out; Although Zhao Kuo ascended to the throne at a young age, he was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he loved Taoism, and there were not many concubines in the harem.
In terms of rank, there are six grades of concubines in this dynasty. The show girl who has just entered the palace is called the servant or Hongxia, and then called the king or lady, the third class is the noble, the beauty, Jieyu, the fourth class is Zhaoyi, Wanrong, etc., and the fifth class is called the concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine.
Cao Meiren is a native of Yangzhou, her father was an official in Guangzhou, from the sixth grade, entered the palace at the age of sixteen, at first was Hongxia, and three years later she was promoted to a beauty.
Yang Guizhi relied on her beauty and tricks to coax the emperor to write a royal pen, and with the fake brother as an internal response, she was named the queen. Cao Meicai woke up like a dream, pretending, treating me as a pawn to open the way, pretending, everything was a set trap, waiting for me and the emperor to drill in. This woman is so insidious and despicable!
After attending Yang Guizhi's canonization ceremony, several wives of the Han Mansion got together. The fourth lady took the lead with flowers:
This Queen Yang is not good at stubble, from beginning to end, she has never looked at us at all.
The second lady Zhang said: You still think that you are all as virtuous and virtuous as the queen of our family, but unfortunately, good people don't live long, and we can no longer enter and leave the palace freely.
The third lady Tan said: It would be nice if Cao Meiren was the queen. Why didn't our prince help Cao Meiren?
The sixth lady Ma explained: The prince helped, the emperor didn't take the stubble, and the Yang family used a beauty trick to catch outsiders off guard. The prince often regrets it.
At that time, the fifth lady was still there, and said: Our prince can also help Cao Meiren now, otherwise, it will be better to see this surnamed Yang.
The so-called secrets are only a few people who know things that ordinary people can't know at a certain time, and when time passes, there is no secret to protect, and the same is true of the harem.
King Han Jun did not want to see the Yang family, and the Yang family's dissatisfaction with the King of Han Jun reached the ears of Han Yanxuan, and the wife of Yuguo, Wu, persuaded him to find an opportunity to communicate with Queen Yang, indicating that the Han family supported her and was unwilling to expand the conflict.
Han Yanxuan didn't think so, why, I didn't say anything bad about her, this person is ambitious and wants to do politics, he is indeed not as virtuous as Cao Meiren, the emperor wrote down, I didn't object, it's not bad.
Lord, she is ** after all, in charge of the harem, and the emperor is favored, let's bow our heads and follow her, isn't it.
It should be said that this is an extremely correct suggestion, and if it turns out that mistakes have been made, it is the best way to prevent the situation from worsening.
Han Yanxuan did not listen to his wife's good strategy, but absorbed his little wife's ideas.
asked the emperor to crown Cao Wanru as Wanrong, cultivate and support the power of his mother's family, and promote his father to Beijing and serve as the secretary of Guanglu Temple.
He also entered the palace from time to time to teach Cao Wanrong the skills of seducing men. Cao Wanrong is only twenty years old, which is the golden age of women, coupled with the deliberate dress, the professional training of several ladies of the Han Mansion, it looks radiant and captivating.
Yang Guizhi, who is in charge of hundreds of people in the Six Palaces, and wants to do something for the emperor's governance, whether it is his appearance or dress, or his tone and demeanor, he is not as cute and moving as Cao Wanrong.
For the emperor, the court affairs are endless, boring and boring, and returning to the harem requires gentle consideration, lovely taste and pleasure between men and women. In this regard, Queen Yang can pretend for a while, but not for a long time.
coincided with Queen Yang's pregnancy, Cao Wanrong took advantage of the situation and soon won Zhao Kuo's favor. Han Yanxuan instructed all the ministers to jointly play, praising Cao Wanrong, elegant and virtuous, she is a rare concubine in the harem, and she should be promoted to a noble concubine.
Zhao Kuozheng regarded Cao Wanrong as a treasure, and immediately agreed, and issued an edict to be promoted to Concubine Chen. He was also promoted to the rank of lieutenant.
Concubine De and Concubine Gui, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen are all of the same grade, but the names are different, and their status is second only to the queen.
