Hearing the news, the Huang family almost pinched off the Buddha beads: "The house has not been divided yet, all the benefits should be sent to the official, and now I use the money in the official to earn a virtuous reputation, and give it back to the girl, the girl is raised by her aunt, and the tip of a finger is not as good as our Danqi, and she is reluctant to let me support the silver in the palace, which obviously knows that Danqi is blessed, and she does not want her to come out." ”

The maid in the room pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the words she heard just now were hallucinations.

Gu Yi is not stingy with good words, and he praised Mrs. Zhang and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) for their kindness when she took the opportunity. Those princesses have calculations: even if they can't be hired to be the head of the house, they won't suffer a loss by fighting for other sons of the right age.

The emperor and queen Tuien adopted the unmarried daughters of the younger brothers into the palace, Qin Siyue (Longxi)'s maternal uncle, His Royal Highness Prince Kang, did not take the luck of his daughter, the family was full of children, loyal Wang Zhongyong, Wang Zhongheng, Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Zhongxiao Wang had daughters selected, and the object of Mei Jun's service was the loyal prince's daughter Chengyang County Lord, Chengyang County Lord has passed twenty-eight years, and she is preparing to marry Jin Feng, Mei Jun naturally wants to graduate from the "Royal Women's College". In addition to the shortcomings of the concubine, the eldest lady of the Shenlong General's Mansion is almost perfect: the younger sister of the Son of Heaven, the mother-in-law of Mrs. Chaopinhou, the first-class duke, the elder brother of the Shenlong General, the younger sister of the princess of the Inner Emperor - and the eldest sister-in-law of Princess Chaoyun, who is famous for protecting her shortcomings.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) did two things that were easy to cause misunderstanding: first, to make trouble in the palace of Zhonglian, and second, to stop Uncle Shi, the commander of the forbidden army, from entering the palace to take people. The Daqing Dynasty recognized one, as long as he had a relationship with Princess Chaoyun, even if he committed the crime of raiding the house, there would be no hindrance.

In view of this, it is inevitable that Meijun will be in demand.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was still curious: "Which one has asked you again?"

A filial piety of five thousand taels, and the pen of the local governor is like this.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) told Sun Debao about his wife, and added: "I asked the master, the ancestor of the Sun family was originally a robber of the cutting path, and before the prince of the two mansions pacified Shanxi, he made some contributions. The appearance is burly, thinking of the old love and exonerating the capital crime, because of the gratitude of the grandfather, he admitted his late life to the service, and the grandfather often came and went, and actually promoted a thousand military positions, and when he died of illness, he gradually became estranged. Listening to the tone, Sun Debao was a candidate for the new military department, and he just wanted to dredge the door of his ancestors. ”

"No wonder it's generous!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sneered, "I think I have done a lot of things like robbing homes and robbing houses, and bullying the good." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was just about to speak, when Dongmei came in and replied: "Uncle, Gu Yi is waiting outside." ”

"Got it. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) asked his wife, "I asked Gu Yi to inquire about Sun Debao's actions, would you like to hear it?"

"I'm afraid of dirty ears. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) snorted, "Call the children here and prepare dinner." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) touched his nose and went out with a smile.

Gu Yi reported the results: "Uncle, Sun Debao is a natural singer, in front of you Wen Crepe with a humble appearance, in private is a great face, the Sun family moved into the capital for only a few months, there are two maids who lost their lives for no reason, just because the gable wall of the neighbor is half a foot high, the rain rushed to the courtyard of the Sun family, Sun Debao sent a steward to lead people to demolish the house, his neighbor was broken leg, and now he is still lying in bed and can't get up!"

"Got it," Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

The next day, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) stopped Niu Song, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Lord Niu is free? I brought two taels of good tea for adults to taste today." ”

Niu Song smiled: "That's disrespectful." ”

Niu Song, the head of the Eight Princes of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, is the eldest grandson of Niu Chun, the head of the Eight Princes of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and Lin Hai is a Jinshi of the same department, and is now a first-class earl.

In the past, the eighth duke, passed to the third generation, only Gu Yin attacked the marquis because of the merits of Tianyou, and the next belonged to Niu Song, although Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was in the upper ranks, one came to the ancestors of the world, and the other came to Niu Song all-rounder, and then Prince Zhongdun was very valued by the emperor, and he had to be polite and three points when he was doing things.

Let Niu Song enter the inner hall, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) immediately ordered the servants to serve tea, Niu Song smiled: "We are not outsiders, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) smiled: "But there is an important matter to ask Uncle Shi to help." ”

"Oh?" Niu Song was surprised, "I haven't been able to hold a prison lawsuit that can alarm you recently." ”

"Not for this. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) explained the difficulties, "Uncle Shi may know that since the southeast has been a messy account in various places, and now that the vitality has not recovered, there are more and more guards who are pretending to receive salaries and silver. ”

"You can't be blamed for this. Niu Song sighed, "The illness is almost terminal, wouldn't it take people's lives by using strong medicine without permission?"

"Even so, in the end, they can't empty the treasury" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) clarified his intentions, "Take advantage of the border pass to settle a little, just take care of internal affairs, even if there is a moment of chaos, it is better to be stronger than to accumulate disadvantages and weak, I don't believe that it can be a southeast again." ”

"How can I help with such things?" Niu Song was puzzled, "There are a few people in our family in the army, and I'm afraid it's useless-"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) shook his head: "Uncle Shi, I want to ask you to borrow a seasoned criminal division and teach him to investigate and deal with a few slippery oilmen who come out to kill chickens and monkeys, so as not to play tricks one by one!"

Niu Song suddenly realized: "It's only for this, who do you fancy to?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) spit out two words: "Gu Hua." ”

"Sixian?" Niu Song nodded, "It seems that you are deliberately cultivating him, and I want to be an adult as a Shangguan." ”

Later, Niu Song called Qin Sixian to the main hall of the Criminal Department: "This official is in charge of the new affairs of the department, and he originally wanted to rely on you more, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Gu begged for mercy and asked you to go to the Ministry of War to help. ”

"Yes. Qin Sixian was secretly happy in his heart, and it was expected that Gu Changbai (Mokun) was intended to be promoted, "Lord Domeng cares, and the lower officials will never forget." ”

Niu Song smiled slightly: "You don't have to be polite. ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun)'s handwriting is not small, Si Xian's new promotion to the Ministry of Punishment Langzhong, now from the Fourth Rank Military Department Senate to lead the Treasury Department of the Qing Officials Division, just on the official position, even Gu Zheng has to bow half of his head, and the officials of the various ministries are jealous and envious.

Wang Tianyou's five thousand taels of filial piety were not given in vain, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) erased his six-rank martial arts position, and changed his six-rank civil service master book, which was specially designed to assist Si Xian.

November 21 is Mrs. Zhang's fiftieth birthday, although the mother-in-law is in the hall, after all, it is only the son because of the mother's preciousness, Gu Lao Taijun passed the word early, and she will definitely hold a birthday for the eldest daughter-in-law and raise her half a lifetime of hard work.

In today's Shenlong General's Mansion, there are only two people who can celebrate their birthdays: Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and Gu Lao Taijun. Gu Lao Taijun is the ancestor of the Gu family, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is the princess of the feudal country, they can celebrate their birthdays, one because of their seniority, one because of their identity, even if Gu Yin Gu Zheng is just a banquet in the two mansions on his birthday.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was raised in the inner court, where can she not see through Gu Taijun's abacus? She is pregnant, although the inner house is taken care of by Mei Jun and Mei Jun, but it is Mrs. Zhang who is at the helm, and now she is the birthday star, and only the two of the Huang family are qualified to run it. Especially Sister Qing, there is no reason for her mother-in-law to bypass her daughter-in-law on her birthday.

Having said that, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) couldn't have any objections to celebrating her mother-in-law's birthday in order to prevent a small calculation, and when Gu Lao Taijun hinted, she was "high-spirited": "My body is not cheap now, even if I want to be filial, the two girls have never done such a big thing, so they can only work hard for their younger brothers and sisters, and it is important to protect the dignity of the Gu family." ”

Old Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "The princess knows people, and Sister Qing has never had a mistake here." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at the Huang family: "I only worry about the youth of my younger brothers and sisters, and I neglect the orders of the elders of various provinces. ”

Old Mrs. Gu pondered for a moment and smiled: "My name is the second wife, what does the princess think?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) pushed the boat down the river: "The old lady will order, how can there be a mistake." ”

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law suspiciously, opened her mouth and didn't say anything.

After everyone dispersed, Chunhua asked while changing Old Lady Gu's clothes: "Old lady, the princess has already responded, what are you worried about?"

"You!" Old Lady Gu sighed, "Your second wife and Lian's daughter-in-law are far worse than the princess!"

Chunhua smiled: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is not comparable to other idlers." ”

"Sister Qing is short-sighted, and your second wife can't see the Yimen. Old Mrs. Gu sighed, "If they finish the eldest lady's birthday feast, they will be easy to say in the future, I am afraid that they will be confused in this and let the princess catch the handle——"

"What do you mean—" Chunhua's hand moved, "Does the princess deliberately let the second wife and second grandmother take over the housework?"

Old Mrs. Gu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There are four titles in the big house, how can there be a reason not to make plans when you are a mother?" The second wife is just that, Changbai loves Lian'er the most, the princess wants to leave the Shenlong General's Mansion to her son, but she doesn't want to hurt the relationship between husband and wife, she will be confused by Feng Yatou, and when she causes the eldest lady to be dissatisfied, how can she plan for Lian'er?"

"That-" Chunhua hesitated to ask, "The slave maid wants to find a chance to go to the East Courtyard?"

"Not necessarily. A glimmer of light flashed in Old Taijun Gu's eyes, "In any case, Lian'er is Changbai's own brother, even if he doesn't have a title, he will not be rich for a lifetime." ”

Chunhua responded in a low voice: "The slave understands. ”

As soon as Gu Mao was coaxed to sleep, Qiu Ju came to the front and made a small report: "Master, Chunhua in the old lady's room went to the second wife's side while it was dark." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said "um": "Where is the East Courtyard?"

Qiu Ju replied: "There is no movement. ”

"Our old lady really puts Bufan on the top of her heart. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) helped Qiu Ju and said while walking to the bedroom, "This is called 'mother is expensive by child', the second wife has the self-knowledge to want to order Miss Mu as her daughter-in-law, the old lady thinks about Miss Lin's account, and she doesn't want to think about it, high married women and low married women, except for the princess and county lord, which of the eunuch family is not a good family? Bufan is just the second son of the fifth grade official, in addition to the long and pleasant, where to match the daughter of the second grade master?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), who had just come back from the study, listened to the end of his words: "Who are you going to be a matchmaker for?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled: "I don't have that spirit, speaking of our old lady, thinking about grandchildren and grandchildren, Aunt Lin is afraid that it is not easy to nod." ”

"Bufan and Cousin Lin?" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) shook his head, "Brother-in-law Lin will not agree, it is Cousin Lin's foreign family, and Sister Lin will not add much help if she marries in." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was stunned: "Our daughter's family is here to help you live?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) hurriedly smiled: "I'm making an analogy, if I choose a son-in-law, I naturally have to be thoughtful." ”

"Yes!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) teased, "My father's proudest thing is to pick a capable son-in-law like you." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) laughed dryly: The three brothers of the qin family are all promising, and they really don't use much effort from him as an uncle.

The Huang family was going to get a vote and solve the grudge of shrinking the case, but after hearing Chunhua's words, he was extremely embarrassed: "Please rest assured, the old lady, I must complete the birthday of the eldest lady." ”

Chunhua said again: "What the old lady means, the second wife may wish to put some extra self-care for the Gu family's qin, the princess and the eldest lady will see it in their eyes, they are all flesh and blood of the family, and if it is good, they will take the previous things over." ”

"I understand the old lady's painstaking efforts. "For the forbidden army to besiege the princess's mansion when they said a word of separation, the treatment of the second room in the Shenlong General's Mansion plummeted, the Huang family was resentful in his heart, but the mood to get rid of the status quo was extremely urgent.

The Shenlong General's Mansion widely distributed invitations, and there was an endless stream of gifts, Sister Qing thought that even if her mother-in-law's birthday pomp could not have a three-day feast with the two mansions like Gu Lao Taijun, it was not good to be simple, so she asked Qin Siyue (Long Xi) for instructions, and wanted to borrow the place of Zheng Guofu to hold a banquet on the same day as Ning Rong's two mansions.

Qin Siyue (Longxi) has no unacceptable gifts, and on the first day, the princes and princes in Beijing, the princes and princes, the cabinet officials, the princess and the princess, the princess and the princess, the monarch and the princess, the lady and the family, relatives and friends all came to invite.

Mrs. Zhang got up early and kowtowed to Rongqing Hall and sat down in Rongxi Hall, Ning Guofu invited the emperor's relatives and princesses, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) took Gu Chong Gu Chen to follow in person; Zheng Guofu is a place where the old scholar and relatives and friends make friends, and it is not difficult for Gu Feng and Gu Lian Gu to accompany the guests. General Shenlong's Mansion is all cousins, Gu Zheng is the Huang family's mother-in-law and Qing sister-in-law to entertain them, Gu Yin has Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and Qiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are there, and there are many clansmen to help, but they have never lost their manners.

In terms of status, in addition to Qin Siyue (Long Xi), the wife of Prince Kang, Princess Dong, is the most expensive, she is still an elder, and she wants to be the chief, and after gossiping with Yue, she asked the birthday star: "The girls in your family are good, can you call us to take a look?"

"Yes. Mrs. Zhang smiled and ordered, "Tell the girls to come over." ”

After a while, Lan Ruo, Mei Jun, Fu Yao, Gu Xuan, Zhiqing, Xinglan, and Hua Li all arrived.

The princesses and princesses praised: "All the good girls have come to your house." ”

Lan Ruo, Mei Jun, Fu Yao, and Gu Xuan had all seen Princess Kang, so she pulled the other four to ask them one by one.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) introduced from the side: "This is the second girl Lan Ruo in our big house, this is the maid Mei Jun in the second room, this is our Aunt Lin's daughter Zhiqing, this is Xinglan in the Hou Mansion, and this is Miss Mu, the second uncle's wife and cousin." ”

The four of them put it out, and the most eye-catching thing was Zhiqing, Princess Kang smiled: "This is the master Niangniang praised Miss Lin for having a fairy spirit?

The person at the end of the table suddenly said: "This Mu girl has never been seen. ”

Everyone took a look, and it turned out to be the princess of Jingbei.

Jingbei Wang Fu Rong's biological mother, Jingbei Concubine Shi, is the second sister of Queen Shi and the aunt of the princes, and her dignity is different from others. It is true that Hua Li has not experienced such an occasion, but he also knows that the nobles who are qualified to sit in the chief must be the princesses, no matter how dignified Su Ri is, it is inevitable that he will be nervous and disturbed.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) replied: "Miss Mu is the great-grandson of Ziwei Sheren, the niece and daughter of Lord Huang of the Nine Provinces, she is very dignified and gets along very well with the girls in the house. ”

Concubine Shi nodded with a smile: "I see." ”

Fu Rongnian has reached the crown, so far there is no child under the knees, Concubine Shi is anxious, today to take the Chinese Li body plump, quite a motherly appearance, knowing that her identity is embarrassing, but also add three points of mind to seven or eight points, because it is Mrs. Zhang's birthday, it is inconvenient to leak out from the face.

Emperor Yongtai's mother-in-law is the second person in the Daqing Dynasty who cannot afford to offend, and the name of the Duchess of Chengen is not terrifying, but this old lady can give birth, not to mention the three sons, and the daughters are all in contention: the eldest daughter is the queen of the middle palace of the mother of the dynasty, and the second daughter is married to the king of Jingbei, the head of the four founding kings, as the main concubine, and the third daughter and the eldest daughter are concubines, and they are assigned by Emperor Taizong to the thirteenth son Zhongyu Junwang. As we all know, after marrying into the East Palace from the current Empress Shi, Emperor Yongtai (who was still the crown prince at that time) who had signs of desolation embarked on the road of no return (?) close to the five good men; the second daughter was slightly inferior, although she was middle-aged and widowed, but her son had grown up, and because of the care of the emperor's aunt, the original lord inherited the prince of Jingbei; the younger daughter was an old woman and had already given birth to two sons. In addition to the queen mother who has been working hard for many years to keep the clouds open and see the moon, the Mandaqing Dynasty really can't find a second noble lady who can compare with Mrs. Shi.

Having said that, the aunt and grandmother from the Shi family have never lacked eyesight.

Taking advantage of the fact that she came out to change her clothes, Princess Zhongyu quietly asked her sister: "Are you the girl who has taken a fancy to the Mu family and want to put Rong'er in the room?"

"Well" Concubine Jingbei did not deny it, "She has a good appearance and a suitable background." ”

"Don't forget the occasion today. Princess Zhongyu reminded, "Princess Chaoyun is the most taboo about this-"
