Chapter 804: Incense at Lingshan Temple
The rank of the governor of Liangjiang is from a product, and it is an important place for finance and taxation of the imperial court. Nearly half of the taxes paid in the Ming Dynasty came from the Liangjiang River, and there was also an abundance of grain, silk and salt industry here. Like the previous dynasty, if the imperial court wanted to do big things, it was the governor of Liangjiang who asked for silver and grain.
The Ming Dynasty liberalized foreign trade, and several coastal cities such as Fuzhou paid considerable taxes every year. However, it still can't compare to Liangjiang, so as soon as the old lady fell ill, the news came out.
Mrs. Wu was very worried, and asked Qingshu: "Is the old lady really too sick to get out of bed?" ”
In two months, they will get married, and if they wish the old lady to die of illness, the marriage period will have to be postponed by three years. Wu Zhengxiao was already old, and he would get older and older after waiting for another three years.
Qingshu nodded and said, "It's that I can't talk about getting up." And I wish the eldest man to go to Jiangnan after getting the letter, I don't think the situation is very optimistic. ”
"So, the wedding has to be postponed."
Qingshu said with relief: "Godmother, don't worry, maybe I wish the old lady to get better after she leaves office!" As for whether the wedding date is postponed, it depends on what the Zhu family says. ”
Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly: "You said that your third brother married a daughter-in-law, why is it so difficult!" ”
Before she was about to get married with Gao Meilian, she found that the woman hooked up with someone and the marriage was in vain, and this time there were two months to get married and encounter this again, thinking about it, she felt very bad.
Qingshu said: "Auntie, the Zhu family doesn't want to postpone the marriage. ”
Even if the prince of An Wang is married, he is still secretly paying attention to Huan Xi, which is very disgusting. Because of his move, Huan Xi doesn't dare to go to King An's Mansion anymore.
Mrs. Wu clasped her hands together and said, "I hope the Bodhisattva will bless and wish the old lady a speedy recovery." ”
Qingshu felt that recovery was impossible, after all, the old lady was already over seventy years old. I only hope that he can carry it for a while, so that he will not delay Yu Xi's marriage.
After thinking for a while, Qingshu said: "Godmother, why don't we go to Lingshan Temple to worship." ”
The Bodhisattva doesn't know if he is spiritual, but it is good to worship the Buddha and ask for peace of mind.
Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow we will go to Lingshan Temple to offer incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless your third brother to get married smoothly this time." ”
"Okay."
The next day, Qingshu accompanied Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wu to Lingshan Temple. Of course, Feng Xiaoyu is also with him.
Feng Xiaoyu said: "My marriage with Huanxi is full of twists and turns, I hope you don't be like us." ”
She also knows about the Zhu family, and I only hope that the old lady can resist a little longer. Otherwise, the marriage date can only be postponed by three years. However, both families are people who are committed to keeping their credibility, and they are not worried about regretting their marriage.
Qingshu smiled and said, "I won't have a problem with him." It's just birth, old age, sickness and death, these are not things we can control. However, I would like to get married two years later, but unfortunately my grandmother did not agree. ”
"Since I went to the Ministry of Rites on an errand, my grandmother has been worried that Jing Ene will ruin her relatives, and she can't wait to marry Jing Ene tomorrow. Fortunately, I have confidence in Jingene, otherwise I wouldn't dare to marry if I was nagged like this by her every day. ”
Feng Xiaoyu said: "It's normal for Grandma Gu to think like this, but my mother is worried about this." Ahem, this world is too deeply bound to women. Look at Yi'an, not to mention that no one in the capital dared to go to the Wu family to propose marriage, even in Tongcheng, no one dared to marry her. ”
Yi An is actually quite good-looking, but she has high martial arts skills and a strong temperament. Ordinary men really don't dare to think anything about her. And what about Yi'an? He only thought about subduing these people and making them obey him, and he didn't think about finding a husband.
She didn't feel anything in Wenhuatang, but when she entered the Ministry of Rites and was rejected by those officials, she had a deep experience. It is really difficult for a woman to make a career like a man, and the eldest princess was able to make contributions back then, and her identity accounted for a lot of convenience.
Qing Shu sighed a little: "Xiao Yu, I really admire the eldest princess, she is in a high position but has been working hard to improve the status of women. ”
The eldest princess has a respected status, even if she doesn't do anything, she will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. But she didn't, not only managed Wenhuatang, but also wanted women to be outstanding.
Only when a woman is in power can she really have the right to speak, and she can really improve the status of women.
Feng Xiaoyu said: "If my grandmother hears what you say, she will definitely be very pleased. ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I don't have much ability and can't help the eldest princess." ”
Feng Xiaoyu said: "No, it's enough for you to insist on staying in the Ministry of Rites." ”
Feeling that this topic was a bit heavy, Feng Xiaoyu diverted the topic and said: "Guan Zhenqi asked someone to send me a painting yesterday, with green bamboo painted on it. ”
"What do you think I should do in return?"
Qingshu smiled and said: "You can write a blessing word to him or make a purse or something, this is mainly up to you." ”
Feng Xiaoyu glanced at her: "What kind of bad idea, you are trying to harm me!" ”
Her handwriting is not ugly, but she is not so pretty, and as for making purses, she has never touched a needle. As for asking someone to write on her behalf, Feng Xiaoyu disdains to deceive.
Qingshu smiled and said, "I pickled a few jars of cucumbers the day before yesterday and gave you a jar to give away." ”
Feng Xiaoyu couldn't help but say: "Your pickled cucumber is so delicious, I am reluctant to give it to him!" ”
"You can't bear a jar of pickled cucumbers?"
Feng Xiaoyu snorted: "Then what I like, I must enjoy it first." If there is any excess, send him again. ”
Qing Shu hummed and said, "You have to maintain this attitude when you get married in the future." Don't be like my mother, I can do my best for my husband and my husband's family. ”
"It's good to meet someone with a conscience, but if you meet my father, who can't beat her out of his bones, it's not worth it."
Feng Xiaoyu gave Qing Shu a look of contempt: "Your mother is like this, there are few in the world." ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, there are a lot of my mother's this, at least in Pingzhou." ”
"In fact, my grandmother is also very responsible for the reason why my mother is like this. Because she herself is a person who regards her husband as the sky, she was lucky to meet my grandfather. My mother was more unlucky, and she met a deep-hearted cold-blooded and ruthless person. ”
Feng Xiaoyu was speechless: "I originally wanted to talk to you about a light topic, but the more I talked, the heavier it became." ”
Qingshu snorted: "I'm a little sleepy, you let me sleep!" ”
Looking at Qingshu, who soon fell asleep, Feng Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh: "I can sleep on such a bumpy road, I admire you too." ”
Having said that, she still took the blanket and covered Qingshu herself.
Xylophone whispered: "County Lord, Miss Lin is really not easy. ”
Feng Xiaoyu said: "Yes, I feel sorry for her when I look at it. cough, it's also her bad luck to meet such a father, I just hope she can live happily every day in the future. ”
Xylophone said, "This one will definitely be." Miss Lin has a big heart, and these things have never affected her. ”
It is precisely because of this positive attitude that they are not afraid of difficulties that attracted them to become my friends.
