At the end of the month, the township trial list, the Dongfu Gu Bin brothers were all named Sun Shan, and the brothers couldn't help wilting, and when they came to see Gu Changbai (Mokun), they kowtowed and asked for guilt: "My nephew is incompetent, and I disappointed my uncle." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said with a smile: "Let you take the opportunity to see the meaning of the depths, if you really want to win, I have to play the sage to investigate the cheating case." ”

Brother Gu Bin felt a little relieved, and said that he must study hard and strive to be on the list.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) couldn't help but say a few more words: "Bin'er wants to get married a year ago, and he can't snub the newlywed, but he also has to take care of his studies." Uncle Lin is now in Beijing, he is a list of Tanhua, and he is also the head of the Hanlin Academy, and he often goes to ask for teaching and questions when he has time, and he will definitely be able to make progress. ”

The Gu Bin brothers all responded, and Gu Changbai (Mokun) said again: "It stands to reason that a family like ours can have a yarn hat to wear without reading, but the ancients all talked about poetry and book heirlooms, and none of them said that the gold and silver heirlooms of the officials, and your second uncle is not a material for reading, and I was forced to read it to raise people, which is what it means." ”

Brother Gu Bin bowed down and listened: "Nephew leads the training." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said with a smile: "Your aunt said that she must watch Bin'er's marriage be done, and when the spring of the next year begins, she must go out more to pay attention to Qiang'er's life." ”

The Gu Bin brothers were overjoyed and thanked each other. Gu Qiang said again: "My aunt's nephew understands my nephew's intentions, but my nephew is still young, and I want to wait until I get off the list before talking about family affairs." ”

"It's up to you!" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was entrusted by Tianyin on his deathbed, and Yu Dongfu was quite concerned. Because Gu Feng is a brother and a patriarch, it is inconvenient for him to take care of his affairs, so he focuses on the juniors, but fortunately, although Gu Feng is ridiculous, he does not dare to argue with Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) about the matter of the heir.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) deeply observed her husband's intentions and really paid great attention to Gu Chong's marriage. Qiu's is a stepmother, and she only knows how to flatter her husband, so when she saw this, she had to ask Gu Feng: "The princess has sent someone to ask about Bin'er's wedding ceremony three times, you see——"

Gu Feng said with a smile: "This must be Changbai's idea, Bin'er has followed him to learn martial arts since he was a child, and he is about the same as half a son, Changbai protects his shortcomings, and he is afraid that he will treat his son badly!"

Qiu Shi smiled: "That's not good?"

Gu Feng nodded: "Okay, wouldn't it be more decent to have a princess to preside." ”

Qiu Shi got advice, and really went to ask Qin Siyue (Longxi) to call the shots.

The reason why she has no resistance to Qin Siyue (Long Xi), in addition to her identity, is that she is generous, and the Huang family has also assisted in the engagement matters. Replaced by Mrs. Zhang and Qin Siyue (Longxi), the Qiu family really doesn't have to bear this heart.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is not hypocritical, she took out the style of the grandmother of the Shenlong General's Mansion for finger painting, she can't look down on the servants of Ning Guofu, and occasionally skip the low-grade ornaments, and move enough decorations from the Shenlong General's Mansion, Zheng Guofu and even the Princess's Mansion to replace the decorations.

Lai Sheng, the head of the Zhenguo Mansion, privately warned his colleagues and others: "Now for Brother Bin'er's happy event, I have specially invited the princess of Xifu to take care of the arrangement, if you take things or talk, it is good to serve carefully." Everyone comes early and disperses late, don't lose your old face, to put it clearly, the third-class subordinates who serve the princess are all officials who wear black yarns, even if they don't get into the eyes of the princess's grandmother, don't please her old man's disgust! ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and the servants of the Zhenguo Mansion saw that the people who followed Qin Siyue (Long Xi) were full of spirit, and they were afraid that they would be disliked, so they all competed to serve first, and put the Zhenguo Mansion in order as if Gu Changbai (Mokun) personally led Long Wuwei.

Entering Layue, Gu Chong got married as scheduled, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was the man's guest host, and the woman had Princess Zhonglian as the parent.

As mentioned earlier, Meng Kebing, the sect woman, is not easy to be. The Zhenguo Mansion is still here, Gu Jing's wives have passed away, the Qiu family is an inconspicuous house-filler, and Gu Chong doesn't have a brother to marry, so he can't feel the pressure without comparison. The situation on the side of the Shenlong General's Mansion will make her more restrained: Gu Lao Taijun of the great-grandfather's mother-in-law is the duchess of the super grade country who was born in the Hou family; Mrs. Zhang and the Huang family of the mother-in-law's generation, one is the wife of the Taifu Qianjin Chaopin Hou, and the other is the county uncle's daughter Wupin, and the mother-in-law has three concubines, Lu Ying is the young lady of the Guozi Priest Restaurant, Sister Qing is the father of the first-class master, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) needless to say, is directly the master of the entire Gu family.

Unexpectedly, Qin Siyue (Long Xi), who was the most difficult to deal with, was extremely kind, and pulled Meng Kebing to instruct Gu Chong: "Such a heavenly immortal must be blessed to marry you, if you teach people to be wronged, your uncle will protect your shortcomings, and I will not spare you." ”

Gu Chong smiled: "My son doesn't dare!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said again: "Your mother-in-law and the old lady and wife over there in the Shenlong General's Mansion are all harmonious, and the slaves below are not allowed to bully life, and those who are not long-sighted are embarrassed by you, just beat them out, don't be afraid that they will rebel, tell me if there are difficulties, and the princess of Zhonglian will entrust me to take care of you." ”

Meng Kebing said softly, and presented a set of needlework made by himself, and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) immediately ordered to give a reward, all of which were worth more than a thousand gold.

Although she is not a big girl, in the end, she is also a young lady who often goes in and out of the palace, Meng Kebing knows the goods, and she is flattered by Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s handwriting, and she is grateful for it, and she feels at ease when she sees her husband's expression calm.

Then to the Shenlong General's Mansion, Gu Lao Taijun and the others were not stingy, Meng Kebing could be regarded as having seen how rich the Gu family was after cooking oil with fire.

Gu Chong's wedding was soon Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s birthday, Meng Kebing arranged it wholeheartedly, the family praised the bride for her thoughtfulness, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) also liked her deference, and called her to come over the house to talk from time to time, Meng Kebing finally gained a firm foothold in Gu Mansion.

At the end of the year, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) not only needs to take care of the New Year's gifts of the relatives of the inner court and the subordinates in the army, Gu Kui's civil and military masters Zhou Chong, Su Zhe, and Ming Hao have to work harder for a while, and Sister Qing is also busy with the ceremony, and even the time between asking Gu Lao Taijun and Mrs. Zhang to say goodbye is accompanied by the housekeeper's wife, fortunately, she has to be strong and capable, and she doesn't want to complain at all.

As soon as she returned to the East Courtyard in the evening, Hai'er said: "Today, Mrs. Mu Gu sent someone to ask twice, and I am looking for you about something important." ”

"Huh?" Sister Qing asked, "But did you say something?"

"Not really. Hai'er shook her head, "I want to discuss with you about the New Year's gift." ”

Sister Qing took a sip of tea and got up: "Go to Xuexiangyuan." ”

Mu Huang was about to go to the East Courtyard, but when he went to the door, he bumped into his niece and hurriedly asked her to enter the house, and sent Hua Li to take the maid to the side room to drink tea, and then explained the original story.

"Sister Lin's maid?" Sister Qing was surprised, "Why did Cousin Pan take a fancy to her?"

"It's all fate. Mu Huang said with a smile, "I saluted a big parrot in the previous Zhuangzi, Hua Li sent a maid to Miss Lin, Miss Lin sent the red heron girl to return the gift, and happened to be bumped by Pan'er, and now she has hysteria, so I have to ask Mrs. Lin for help, and then don't teach me to be quiet, there is really no way, in the end, I want to ask you to do it, Mrs. Lin is willing to nod, and it doesn't hurt for us to spend ten times more silver." ”

Sister Qing was silent when she heard this, and she muttered for a long time before she said: "This thing is not easy, Honglu I know, I am very responsible on weekdays, and I am the right-hand man in front of Sister Lin, I am afraid that I can't nod easily." ”

"I'm worried about this. Mu Huang said his plan, "Pan'er is older, I originally wanted to buy him two maids to put by his side, since there is a consensus, as long as Mrs. Lin nods, I will seriously set the wine here to open her face, and I will be an aunt when I enter the door, the maid can have such a good future, and I can't stop Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin if I want to come." ”

Sister Qing had no choice but to take it: "I'll go and tell you, don't blame you if you should be." ”

"I don't have to worry about you anymore. Mu Huang took out a letter of silver on his sleeve, "My idea, you can't come to the door plainly, buy some fashionable things to see Miss Lin so that you can talk." ”

Sister Qing understood: "Then I won't be polite to you." ”

Halfway through, Sister Qing stopped after a little groaning, and ordered the maid: "First hand over the silver to your sister Ping to put it away, and I'll go to Rongxi Hall." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang reproached Sister Qing: "You are not responsible, Honglu is your sister Lin's personal maid, how can you hire outside at will?"

Sister Qing explained: "The daughter-in-law also knows that it is inappropriate, but my aunt's sincerity is there, and I really can't push it-"

"If it's really a merchant," Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly, "If you don't marry a wife, take a concubine first, and Mrs. Mu Gu is not very particular." ”

Sister Qing blushed: "Yes." ”

"Don't come out of this, the princess just took a few excellent silk horses for me to tailor, and I am thinking of giving you two horses for Aunt Lin, if it doesn't work, I'll ask her what she means." ”

Gu Yi can agree to blame: "It's just an ordinary maid, who is in front of Zhiqing to be a concubine at will?"

Miss Boudoir's maid will either be hired as a wife, or she will be an aunt to her uncle in the future, unless she recognizes Hua Pan as her son-in-law, Gu Yi can agree to Mu Huang's request.

Mrs. Zhang will not force: "I just have a word from you." ”

Gu Yi turned his head and told Zhiqing: "Don't send the red heron to the Shenlong General's Mansion easily in the future."

Mu Huang's face was swept away, and it was inevitable that there would be resentment in his heart, and Hua Pan was unrelenting in the lawsuit, so he had to go to Huang's door.

Huang accepted the gift and packed the ticket to his sister: "What kind of big deal is this? Just drive the Lin family to eat New Year's wine and mention it while the old lady is happy." ”

Mu Huang was relieved at this time, took Huang's words to appease Hua Pan, and was bent on preparing for the New Year's gift of honoring Old Taijun Gu.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is also Gu Mao's birthday, and after returning to the Shenlong General's Mansion after the Zhengdan Dynasty, there will be a reward in the palace, Gu Lao Taijun is happy, and when he grabbed the Zhou ceremony, he took out the Hanyu in the private room to fill the sample, and the Huang family was jealous.

The children are all Yan Kong, Gu Mao likes Meng Kebing, who is a bride for the first time, and is tired of being reluctant to come down, which makes everyone laugh constantly.

Thinking of the rumors coming out of the Zhenguo Mansion recently, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at Meng Kebing and had a plan.

When he returned to Ning in the second year of junior high school, he heard about Gu Yi and the Huang family lifting the bar for the girl's ring, Gu Lao Taijun was not good at partiality with her daughter in front of her relatives, and she confused the matter with the mud, Gu Yi was angry, she originally planned to stay in the house for a while, and she left with her children when she made a fuss. Mrs. Zhang was annoyed and accused the Mu family of "squeezing serious relatives" in front of her daughter-in-law. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) knew that Hua Pan was acting outside the Gu family, and when she heard this, her wife asked: "The Mu family's house hasn't been cleaned up yet?"

Mrs. Zhang accosted: "Aunt Lin's family went north and lived in an official residence, and they didn't live in our house for a day. The implication is that if the Mu family does not leave the Shenlong General's Mansion, the house will never be cleaned up.

The conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spread, and Xue Xiangyuan stopped for a few days.

There is no Fan Danqi, Gu Lao Taijun is not good at attacking her daughter-in-law, and the Mu family is not as enthusiastic as before, Mu Huang gave a generous gift, and repeatedly apologized to Gu Yi before revealing the matter.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) knows Gu Feng's virtue very well, his wife was still a princess of Fengyi earlier, his eyes were not honest, and now if he is interested in his daughter-in-law, he is not allowed to do things that insult the family style, so as soon as he heard Qin Siyue (Long Xi) say, he immediately took the idea of physical isolation.

The Lantern Festival held a banquet, taking advantage of the fact that Gu Feng's father did not look back, Gu Changbai (Mokun) discussed with Gu Yin in advance, and took the opportunity to ask Gu Jing: "From the nephew and the first, the Jinling clan property will be less supervised, and the nephew means to send the serious masters of the two mansions to take a trip, so as not to be moth-eaten, and ask the eldest uncle to show it." ”

Although Gu Jing is a good Dan Aidao, he does not dare to forget his ancestor, he is the former patriarch, and he is the grandson of the eldest prince of Zhenguo who was born in Jinshi, and when he heard this, he said: "Your concerns are reasonable, which one is appropriate?"

Gu Changbai (Mokun) immediately recommended Gu Chong: "Bin'er has grown up, the so-called 'reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles', he is still the grandson of the Gu family, and it is not good to sit in the well and watch the servants of the Heavenly Sect fool." ”

Gu Feng changed color when he heard this: "Bin'er is young, how can he afford such a thing!"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) ignored him, and his eyes were still on Gu Jing.

Gu Jing nodded his head, because he called Gu Chong: "You know what your uncle means, be careful, don't disappoint him." ”

Gu Chong bowed in response: "Grandson understands." ”

This kind of pass can see who said it, the old Guogong is the head of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Shenlong General's Mansion is high, and only Gu Jingjinshi is born in the literary generation, and then to the jade generation, Gu Changbai (Mokun) is the first one to have a future. Gu Jing and Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) spoke, and Gu Feng could only listen from the side.

Gu Feng saw that there was no way to recover, and said in a hurry: "You go and make it, but you can teach your daughter-in-law to stay and serve your in-laws." ”

Gu Jing reprimanded: "What are these words, hundreds of people in the mansion can't serve the two of you?"

Gu Yin smiled and raised his glass: "Maybe the eldest brother will have a great-grandson at this time next year!"

Gu Feng was unhappy, and Gu Lian was enlightened.

Just out of the first month, the emperor's dragon body violated the harmony, the emperor's father and son took turns to serve the sick, Gu Changbai (Mokun), the "Jingying Festival Envoy", was not easy, patrolling the nine cities every day, but preventing small changes in the night.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was raised by the emperor when she was a child, and she was naturally worried at this moment, and she entered the palace almost every day to say hello, and even entrusted the child to her mother-in-law to discipline.

This year's cold winter, to Duanyang is the summer heat. Tossed by this weather, the emperor finally fell ill, and the emperor, the crown prince, and the ministers of the kings were sentenced to the Daming Palace.

The testament was personally drafted by Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), and the emperor leaned on the bed and sighed: "I have practiced Zuo, inherited the foundation, and ascended the throne for more than 40 years, and this year I am more and more sixtieth, and I am entrusted with people, so I am reluctant to give up, and I am worried about my children and grandchildren!"

The emperor bowed again: "Erchen doesn't dare!"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "The eldest son of the emperor is not good, he is in charge of the circle, he plans to die early, and the Lu State admonishes him, although he has hatred, his flesh and blood are difficult to understand, and now he is dead, and his children are there, and the emperor is kind to him." ”

The emperor's eldest son, the king of Yizhi County, was dissatisfied with his father's rebellion, and was later deposed and imprisoned, and died of depression when the Tartar son committed a crime.

The emperor decreed: "Give the eldest son of the king of Yizhijun, the Duke of Jin Yuguo!"

The emperor said: "The two kings of Kangshun, my own nephew, my brother is early, you are a cousin, you should also be forgiven, and the courtesy should be as good as when I was in time." ”

The prince of Taizu is not long-lived, only three brothers were left before the big line, the emperor is the second, and he is also the eldest son of the living grandson, the brother is the king of Yu, the younger brother is the king of Kang, and the son of the king of Yu is raised in the palace, that is, the prince of Zhongshun today, and now the prince of Kang is the maternal uncle of Qin Siyue (Longxi), and he is the official position.

The emperor ordered the two kings to be given double salaries.

The emperor looked at the princes again, closed his eyes and rested for a long time.

Yonglin saw that the emperor had not moved for a long time, and was about to take a closer look, when the emperor sighed: "Princess Chaoyun." ”

At midnight the next day, the emperor collapsed in the Daming Palace.

The emperor announced the national mourning, and ordered the Chinese and foreign countries to hold the service and observe the 27-day filial piety period.

The death of the Emperor Taishang was just a change of title for the Empress Taishang, and it was like a collapse for those concubines. The emperor only has one wife and two concubines, and even the West Sixth Palace lives in less than half; the Emperor Taishang favors dozens of concubines, except for the current Queen Mother who lives alone in Ningshou Palace, the East Sixth Palace, Cining Palace, and Daming Palace are also their territory. The emperor can maintain the status quo while he is alive, but when the emperor is gone, they can only be stuffed into one place to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern. No wonder you are black-eyed chickens, you compete with me and look forward to being the master of your own house, from your mother and daughter-in-law to the treatment of your children.

The sons of the Emperor Daxing can't pinch it now, at least not before the funeral on the 49th.

After all, it is a generation of emperors who have made achievements, and the emperor of Daxing has become "Daqing Taizong" without dispute, and then there is the nickname, the loyal king mentions "Wen", and the loyal and honest king talks about "martial arts", and the dispute between the two starts here.

The previous dynasty does not stop, and the harem is also very noisy. The newly released queen mother began to concoct the emperor's widow instead of her daughter-in-law.

Most of the women in the palace live for their children, and the queen mother also fell ill after the death of the emperor, and she was bedridden for half a month before she got better.

The queen lives in the East Sixth Palace by the imperial concubines, firstly, because the seniority is not good and harsh, and secondly, she has selfish intentions, and she is afraid that the empty place will teach the emperor to have a reason to fill the harem. The Queen Mother doesn't care about this, she doesn't want to block her daughter-in-law, but she also doesn't want to ask irrelevant people to occupy her own territory, a typical "I'd rather spoil it than give it to you" mentality. As soon as the hundred days of filial piety came out, the old lady immediately issued a decree and ordered the concubines and concubines who were entrenched in the East Sixth Palace to move to Cining Palace.

Concubine Tong Gui has no children, and she has not blocked the Queen Mother, and she is the niece of Queen Gao, so she has the best courtyard!
