Chapter 52 Houmen is as deep as the sea
The Simmons bed with the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang red brocade sheet has a kind of compelling wealth and gorgeousness.
Simmons bed is naturally Ye Zhao's idea, and the exquisiteness of the craftsmen has also become Rong'er's favorite.
At this time, Rong'er lay on the bed with a sad face and recited the ninety-nine multiplication song.
Next to the brocade tent, there was Jin'er's grandmother, who was carefully touching Rong'er's forehead, although Fujin was young, she didn't dare to bully the master, but was more respectful, and she was always full of rules, so as not to gossip about others.
"Fujin's fever has subsided." Grandma Jin Er said with a look of surprise, in fact, where did Rong'er have a fever? However, when he saw Xianggong coming back, he ran a few steps downstairs in surprise, and twisted his high flag shoes and twisted his little feet.
Ye Zhao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, helplessly watched Jiner's grandmother perform, but there was no way, where did she change the "rules of survival for wealthy families" in her mind with a few words of her own? Since she was a child, she has heard and witnessed the education she has received and has long taken root in her heart, and now that her wealthy family has become the county king's mansion, how can she not be more cautious?
It's not a taste to think about it, Grandma Jin Er can represent a huge group of women in this world, and it seems to outsiders that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, she is walking on thin ice step by step, struggling to survive in the wealthy family, and she has tried her best all her life, just to win a place to live.
It's impossible to say it, even if it's herself, she clearly knows her thoughts, but seeing her care about Rong'er, isn't it very comfortable in her heart? I am still like this, not to mention those foolish old men and wives, who doesn't like a happy atmosphere at home?
In the house, the four big maids are all there, and there are seven or eight little maids in the "living room" outside, which have been upgraded to the county king's mansion, even if Ye Zhao doesn't care, but Rong'er naturally improves the treatment in the house in accordance with the regulations, and twenty or thirty little maids have been added to the lotus building, and the second grandmother of Jin, in addition to the cuckoo, has also dialed four little maids to listen.
Of course, the eunuch is gone, Rong'er was influenced by Ye Zhao, and she also felt that the eunuch hurt people, although her sister asked about it, but she still blocked it.
As for the regulations of the county king's mansion, such as the guards, leaders, and soldiers, Ye Zhao had already had his own points during the period when he led the army, but he didn't work hard for the two palaces and the emperor.
And the six kings have done enough kung fu, according to the rules, they allocated twenty grain melon and fruit manors and nearly 1,000 people to the king of Suzhi outside the pass, and there are people in the county king's mansion to take care of it, which does not need Ye Zhao to bother.
Ye Zhao smiled and flipped through Rong'er's textbook, and said to Jin'er's grandmother: "You go, I'm here, help Rong'er review her homework, you can't go to school these days, but you can't fall behind in your homework, right?" ”
"Yes." Grandma Jin Er came out.
Back to the Begonia Pavilion, the cuckoo had already sent a hot water towel, and the delicate little hand of Grandma Jin Er's delicate Kodan was dipped in water, dusted it elegantly, and then dipped the white towel offered by the cuckoo's hands, and then turned around and sat on the white bear skin soft couch, and after a while, the cuckoo presented a small teacup with enamel color.
The cuckoo was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a peach-colored tulle jacket, but she was also beautiful and lovely. She began to serve Grandma Jin Er in Rongfu, and accompanied Grandma Jin Er to get married, Grandma Jin Er cherished it, so that she was not damaged by Tao Lao Er, and after Grandma Jin Er was divorced, she found an opportunity to ask Rong'er for mercy, and then she ransomed the cuckoo, and she was still her own personal maid, replacing the temporary errand of Zhaocai.
The cuckoo came out with a misty hot water wooden basin and put it at the feet of Grandma Jiner, the young lady had just returned from Foshan, and she was naturally very tired.
Miss Bang gently faded the embroidered shoes purple socks, a pair of small and incomparably enchanting lotus feet appeared in front of her, the cuckoo gently held it and put it into the water, at that moment, she was a woman with a little red and heartbeat, but, how tempting is it? This is seen by men, but I don't know what it looks like.
Miss has a bad life, married Tao Er, it seems that on the second day of the wedding, Tao Lao Er is not allowed to enter the room, Tao Lao Er wants to bully himself, and he was scolded by Miss Bloody dog. During that time, Miss was really bitter, the Tao family pointed behind her back, and everyone talked about it, married a tigress through the door, and the Tao family's relatives ridiculed Miss for not having a tutor, but Miss survived, and came up with the idea to help the Tao family save a great business, and gradually got the trust of the old lady, and after the old lady died, Miss really became the head of the Tao family, and she persuaded her several times, to reconcile Miss and the master, otherwise no matter how hard she worked, she also made wedding dresses for others, and so on Tao Master had a son outside, not a few years, Miss can't even give up her seat if she wants to.
But Miss is twisting this mouth, she was so worried that she couldn't do it, who knew that the world was unpredictable, and she didn't know what was going on, so Miss entered the Father's Mansion, no, now it should be said that it is the County King's Mansion.
And the great general Wang, who is so famous outside, is young, and there is no one in the Qing Kingdom who can compare, right? But he is such a beautiful and gentle person, and what is even more unexpected is that now the general Miss Wang has a side room, it stands to reason that with his status and status, he should have been a group of wives and concubines a long time ago, right?
However, I also want to know that the women who enter the mansion after the general Wang said are indispensable, and the young lady is remarried, so it is no wonder that she is cautious everywhere, which is completely different from when she was in Tao Mansion.
I heard that according to the regulations, the county king can also have three side Fujin, although the status is not as good as that of the Fu Jin, but it is the registered lady who reported to the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and the children born are more regarded as the same as the concubine, but the young lady doesn't seem to have the heart to fight, but sometimes, if you don't fight, you fight.
What's more, if the general king attacks the prince in the future, it seems that he can canonize the four side blessings, so there is no need to rush this matter.
"Miss, is the prince in the Fujin room?" The cuckoo has never changed its name.
Grandma Jin Er's cheeks are lightly powdered.
The cuckoo pursed his lips and smiled, and asked mysteriously, "The slave maid heard that Fujin is studying outside, right?" ”
Grandma Jin Er held the small color cup, tasted it, and said: "This is not a secretive thing, the prince and Fujin are very affectionate, and they often go to school to see her." ”
The cuckoo smiled softly, "The prince is really open-minded, and he really loves Miss Fujin and Miss." He rolled his eyes and asked again, "Miss, I don't know where the prince is resting tonight?" ”
Although she had already become his concubine, listening to Du Juan's question, Grandma Jin Er still blushed, her body was slightly hot, as if she didn't want anyone to know about her affairs, including her most intimate maid, glared at Du Juan, and said, "Mouthy!" After a while, he said, "Most of the princes have to take care of Fujin, I'll go and see it later." ”
The cuckoo sighed and whispered: "It's not that the slave is talkative, it's really time for Fujin's feet to be broken, early and late, but the young lady will come back and die." ”
Grandma Jin Er looked at her funny, knowing that she didn't know the situation of Wang Ye Fujin at all, let alone the temper of Wang Ye Fujin, or speculated with Lao Huang Li.
I can't understand these things when I tell her, I think after a long time, she will be able to understand what kind of surname this prince is, what kind of surname Fujin is, and how different this mansion is from other houses.
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiner's grandmother didn't bother to pay attention to her, and was thinking about the steel mill.
"Miss, I heard that the prince can seal the three side blessings, is this letter accurate?" The cuckoo asked curiously.
Jin Er's grandmother felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, and the cuckoo followed her, all these years, she was full of scheming when she had been learning, talking around and around, knocking on the side. Remember when she was with herself just now, how simple a little girl she was? Stupid, don't understand anything.
Side Fujin, Jin Er's grandmother never thought about it, once she remarried, she couldn't expect extravagance; Second, what is the style of the prince? He can see everything clearly, who is good is good to whom, and he will not take his name to heart, even if there are a few side Fujin in the future, as long as he is cautious, the prince will not allow them to bully him, and Xiao Fujin is smart and kind, and he will definitely make decisions for himself. But whoever stirs up trouble in this house is afraid that he will be driven out in an instant.
Honestly, how good is life now? He has sheltered from the wind and rain for big things, and he has opened the window of the outside world for himself, if he can be his concubine in peace and stability in this life, and not be bored by him, it will be worth it. No matter what you want, God will punish you for your greed.
Putting down the teacup, Grandma Jin Er said to Du Juan: "In the future, these words will not be mentioned again, you came to the mansion late, and you have been following me, watching me intrigue with others, but this is not as good as Tao Mansion, you will slowly understand." ”
The cuckoo nodded, the water in the palace was even deeper, and the Tao Mansion was naturally not comparable to anything.
Rolling his eyes, Du Juan said, "Miss, let me tell you something, I saw Master Tao a few days ago." "Although I have been shouting in my heart that Master Tao is the second brother of Tao, even if I leave the Tao Mansion, I can't be so unruly.
Jin Er's grandmother was stunned: "Is he pestering you again?" There was a hint of anger on her pretty face.
Du Juan Xin said that he dared, and I also rewarded him with a few copper coins.
A few days ago, the cuckoo went to the street to buy vegetables, ready to invite auspicious Ruyi and other four girls to add food, to build a good relationship, but was stunned to find the ragged Tao Lao Ye begging at the entrance of the vegetable market, and inquired with people, only to know that Tao Lao Er was deceived by partnering with others to do business, not only sold out the ancestral business, but also owed a lot of debts, and now there are creditors every day to clean him up.
The cuckoo threw a few copper plates to Tao Laoer, not to mention the comfort in his heart.
But she couldn't say this to the young lady, she sighed and said: "The Tao family was defeated by him, and they begged for food in the area of the vegetable market." But I see, he didn't pass the call Hanako, and he knew kowtow with a broken bowl, and he was not pitiful at all. In the end, I couldn't help but sneer.
Grandma Jin Er was stunned, but the prince lost 10,000 taels of silver to him, so he was so soon defeated? Think about it, if you are still Mrs. Tao, I am afraid that you will also be a beggar woman.
Sighing softly, Grandma Jinji didn't know what it was like in her heart.
"The slave has seen the prince!" There was a crisp and somewhat flustered voice of the little maids outside.
As soon as the bead curtain was raised, Ye Zhao walked in, and then said "ah", "Don't look at indecent people." He covered his eyes with his hands.
Grandma Jin Er couldn't cry or laugh, she was even more ashamed, and hurriedly put on purple socks and embroidered shoes with a red face.
The cuckoo wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, thinking in his heart, the prince was good to the young lady. Respectfully and respectfully: "The servant sees the prince." Wan Ting got up and was about to retreat, but Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can listen too." ”
Turning his head to Yingying's second grandmother, who bowed down, he said, "I have prepared the dowry, you prepare, let's go to Rongfu." ”
Grandma Jin Er's pretty face was dazed, and she didn't understand what Ye Zhao meant.
Ye Zhao said with a smile: "It's Rong'er, I've been grinding me to give you the title of side Fujin, I have already reported to the capital, I don't think there will be any hindrance." Then let's make up for the three books and six rituals, it's simpler, don't care. "In fact, according to the rules, if a woman who has become a concubine wants to be promoted to the side Fujin, she needs to give birth to a child, but Ye Zhao's new promotion to the king of the county is different.
This matter was indeed mentioned by Rong'er first, although Grandma Jin Er came from a humble background, but after all, she was the first concubine by the prince's side, and it was Rong'er who helped to hold it, not to mention that the prince was simple, and he was so alone with a wife and a concubine.
The little guy was affectionate and righteous, but it made Ye Zhao cry and laugh, especially when the little guy said "those who enter the door later are favored", Ye Zhao had nothing to say for a while, a child, but a serious discussion of men's bad roots and surnames that like the new and hate the old.
Ye Zhao doesn't care about these so-called names, but he also knows that women in this era care very much, especially when Jiner's grandmother remarries and enters the door, she feels inferior, thinking that she should really give her a name, and it also saves the snobbish maids in the house from looking down on people.
Jiner's grandmother is scheming, but she is smart, and she has always known how to advance and retreat, if she caused trouble in the house because she gave her a name, then she would not be Jiner's grandmother.
It was Ye Zhao who measured it, and then followed Rong'er's words.
Thinking of Rong'er's whispered words to persuade herself, Ye Zhao wanted to laugh, "Xianggong, although the side Fujin has a quota system, but it is okay to be under the special grace, when Qianlong was a prince, he married seven side Fujin." "It's as if I'm afraid that the quota of Fang Fujin will not be enough, and I am reluctant to give it to Grandma Jiner.
asked someone to prepare a dowry, which is considered to make up for the procedure of marrying a Ming media, just now the next person said that the dowry was ready, Ye Zhao came to inform Jiner's grandmother.
Thinking about Ye Zhao, he said: "Prepare, let's go to your house, someone will check, and today it is also considered a zodiac auspicious." ”
Grandma Jin's surprised cherry mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but at this moment, she was more shocked than happy.
The cuckoo's happy heart flew out, and seeing the young lady's dazed appearance, he hurriedly whispered in her ear: "Miss, don't you thank you soon?" ”
Ye Zhao looked at Jiner's grandmother and said with a smile: "I'll go out and wait for you." ”
After Ye Zhao walked out for a while, Grandma Jin'er came back to her senses, "Congratulations, Miss Hexi!" Finally keep the clouds open! The cuckoo couldn't hide the joy on his face, but he really didn't expect that the young lady would become the side of the general Wang Fujin in a blink of an eye, this is really a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and from then on, the children and grandchildren will be stained with dragon energy.
Grandma Jin Er didn't speak, just silently went to change her dress.
…… Ye Zhao was in a light car, a few carriages, followed by several plainclothes guards on horseback, he and Grandma Jin Er sat in the carriage in front, and the carriage behind was full of several carriages of dowry.
Grandma Jiner's snow-white little hand held the list of dowry gifts and looked at it, it stands to reason that there is no reason for the bride to read and decide on the gift list by herself, but this is a supplement, Ye Zhao doesn't care about these rules, Grandma Jiner must see it, so she showed it.
Retainer: 10,000 silver dollars; Engagement cake: one quintal; Seafood: special eight-style abalone and cucumber wings and belly; Three livestock: two pairs of male and female wind chickens, 100 catties of double-flying top Hualing pork; Fish: 40 catties of carp with two tails; Cloth: Jinghe line silk satin, Taiming line foreign cloth 100 horses; incense cannon gold bracelets: a number of fireworks, a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets; In addition, there are countless dried fruits, tea, sesame seeds, wine, and so on.
Looking at the list of dowry gifts, Grandma Jin Er said cautiously: "Master, this, it's too much, right?" ”
Ye Zhao was thinking about the matchmaker, the letter he wrote to her should have been received, right?
Grandma Jiner whispered a few words, Ye Zhao came back to his senses, although he didn't hear clearly, he also knew what she said, waved his hand and said, "Just listen to me." ”
Grandma Jiner nodded, and it could be seen that she was still very happy.
Rongfu is in Nancheng District, Guangzhou, with bluestone steps of the black lacquer door, and a stone lion with teeth and claws on the side under the steps, but it is also a large family.
When a few carriages stopped in front of the Rong Mansion, the second elder of the Rong family was listening to a matchmaker's nagging in the living room, the matchmaker's surname was Liu, who was a famous iceman in Guangzhou, known as a good fate of a hundred sects, and a few years ago she helped the son of the Guangzhou Mansion to say that it was a family affair, and it was her most proud.
Speaking of this man, he is a clerk of the Supervision Bureau, although the monthly salary is not high, four silver dollars, but he eats official food? The future is immeasurable, what is the Inspectorate? It was the yamen appointed by the general king, and those who could enter the supervision bureau were all the cronies of the general king.
What's more, this person is just in his twenties, and his wife died early, but he said that he continued the strings, the main room, but he did not insult Jin Feng.
Master Rong and Mrs. Rong were thrilled when they heard this, after Jin Feng was retired by the Tao family, the old couple really had no face to see people, and they simply fell ill, ask Jin Feng, the wild girl refused to say anything, and she couldn't see a figure for ten days and a half months, what kind of steel factory was said to be working in, what did this become? was originally an abandoned woman who was divorced, and she went to mix with a group of big men, which was simply immoral and shameless.
The old couple of the Rong family begged for a long time, and Grandma Liu agreed to help Jin Feng say a family matter, but the ugly words were in the head, Jin Feng arrived at her mother-in-law's house, and she was not allowed to splash again, otherwise she would smash her gold medal iceman's signboard.
"What do you two think?" Grandma Liu smiled, revealing the gold teeth in her mouth.
"Okay, that's it!" Master Rong looked majestic, although his sons and daughters were not angry, but this Rong family's family business was done by him with his own hands.
Grandma Liu was not at ease, and said with words: "Master Rong, then I will give you a reply, Jin Feng, can you get an idea?" ”
When he mentioned his daughter, he was a little angry, and Master Rong cocked his beard: "Hmph, the words of the matchmaker of her parents' orders, how can she not listen to it!" ”
