Chapter 93: Longevity Screen
The family affairs of the Wei family and the Wang family were quietly decided. When the news came out, many people knew about it.
The second son of the Wang family has just been brought back to the Wang family by Wang Shanya for not too long, and everyone has heard that he has a very good appearance and is quite talented.
Wang Shanya arranged for him to go to the army again, and in a short period of time, he has already made some achievements. Very much attention.
However, neither the Wei family nor the Wang family started in the army, and many people were still a little surprised that this son of the Wang family was in the army.
One of the reasons why Wei Jiayin dislikes Wang Yuanzhao is that he is a martial artist.
The Wei family is the only one of the four great families who has maintained its family strength under the suppression of several generations of emperors of the Xia and Shang dynasties.
This has a lot to do with the prosperity of the Wei family and the outstanding children.
In particular, the head of the Wei family was prescient and knew how to send the daughter of the family into the emperor's harem, echoing back and forth, and the Wei family came from behind, surpassing the Qi family and becoming the head of the four major families. Among the officials in the DPRK and China, there are many people with the surname Wei or those who have a teacher-student relationship with the Wei family.
Wei Jiayin's arrogance can also be understood.
Lin Qiantan sighed that she was able to be befriended by her, but she was still stained with the light of the Chu family. Speaking of which, Wei's friend is also the favor left by his mother, who brushes his sense of existence everywhere.
It's that the Song family probably forgot that when Chu Ling was young, he was with the young ladies of the Qi family, the Qin family, and the Wei family, and he had a reputation for being the same. Counting the third princess Xiao Chen of the Xiao family of the Xia Dynasty, those five people were called the five golden flowers of Great Xia at that time.
However, with the fall of the Xia Dynasty, few people have blatantly mentioned everything related to the Xia Dynasty.
Except for "History of Summer".
Repairing history across generations is also a common practice in all Chinese dynasties. After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the first emperor Yan Jian had already organized a group of talented people to begin compiling the history of Xia. After Emperor Tianlong succeeded to the throne, it had already achieved results.
However, the Xia Dynasty enjoyed the country for nearly 500 years, and it has cost a lot of manpower and material resources just to sort out the huge historical materials left by the Xia Dynasty. In addition, many old and young remnants of the Xia Dynasty did not recognize the legitimacy of the Great Shang Emperor and went into hiding, which made the work of revising history very difficult for a while.
Someone in Wei Jiayin's family responded to the emperor's call and went to the palace to participate in the compilation of Xia history.
Wei Jiayin mentioned the old things in the past, and said with a smile: "It was also my aunt who mentioned you."
Wei Jiayin's aunt was one of the other four people who were as famous as Chu Ling back then. The Wei family raises a good daughter, and Wei Jiayin's aunt's demeanor is not inferior to Chu Ling.
"There are not many people who mention the five golden flowers today," Lin Qiantan smiled, picked up the Tongzhou specialty sent by the aunt Wei Jiayin mentioned, put it in his mouth, and bit it: "No matter how much you have a reputation in your boudoir, if you marry someone, you will die, even if it is still a golden flower, it will only be three, not five." And they are also low-married.
The daughters of the Qi family, the Wei family and the Qin family are still there, but they are married separately and are not in the same place, for example, the one of the Wei family married to Tongzhou.
Chu Ling's death is well known. And the other one who is said to have died is Xiao Chen, the third princess of the royal family, who is not inferior to the daughter of the family.
One of the widely circulated theories is that the princess hanged herself when the Shang Dynasty army broke through Xia Jing. Her body was seen by many people as she was taken off the beam.
Lin Qiantan was a guest at Wei's house, and Wei Jiayin even showed Lin Qiantan the collective portrait of the five golden flowers that year.
The ladies of the four great families all showed their true faces, but the third princess of the Xia Dynasty, who was a little delicate in the legend, was veiled, and refused to take off the veil even if she was painting.
*
On the eve of Emperor Tianlong's 40th birthday, there was a compilation of "History of Xia", which made great progress after the great Confucian scholars entered Beijing. There were many people involved in the compilation, and they quickly separated the chapters, and then submitted them to Emperor Tianlong for approval.
This matter suddenly sparked in the capital, and the voice of discussion was not inferior to Lin Bixiang's scandal. Yin Huai's admission that the child in Lin Bixiang's belly was his was in an uproar. Just when everyone was looking at whether the Yin family was going to be responsible for the eighth lady of the Lin family, there was no movement.
Lin Bixiang also had the intention of slaughtering Yin Huai, she was already covered with snow, and Yin Huai's move was simply to make matters worse.
So just when everyone's eyes were on the progress of the compilation of "History of Xia", Yin Wei went to the Yin family in a hurry.
Lin Qiantan came back from the Wei family, and after repeated thinking, he pondered the clues about the treasures of the Xia Dynasty, and came to a conclusion, that is, maybe the last emperor might have handed over the map about opening the treasure to the people of the four great families.
The fragment of sheepskin in the hands of the Chu family is a corroborative evidence.
Lin Qiantan is just a layman, and she will also have the desire to dig up treasures for money, and the treasure of the Xia Dynasty is such a big secret, of course she will also have the meaning of exploring and exploring.
But she only had such a broken sheepskin on her hand, and Chu Ling almost took it out as a dowry. If she wants to make up the other four shares, does it mean that she should go through the other families that may also hold such a share?
First of all, it is certain that the Wei family must have such a map.
Moreover, the Wei family is not like the Chu family, and the Wei family should still be very aware of the secrets of the treasures of the Xia Dynasty.
Wei Jiayin didn't reveal this secret to Lin Qiantan, it was Lin Qiantan who unintentionally heard some truths from Wei Jiayin's words.
Lin Qiantan mentioned that she gave a good thing from 500 years ago to her second aunt, who was greedy for her mother's dowry.
Wei Jiayin laughed at her "generous", and said that her Wei family was "any broken sheepskin, which is never willing to give it to others".
Wei Jiayin didn't know that Lin Qiantan also had such a map in his hand, but he inadvertently mentioned it, but he didn't know that he accidentally revealed the family's biggest secret.
Lin Qiantan felt a little excited, and when she went out with Wang Yuanzhao at night, she quietly mentioned it to Wang Yuanzhao.
Wang Yuanzhao didn't know what the treasures of the Xia Kingdom were, but Xia Sanniang just asked him to find such a "grandfather's" thing in the Wang family. Wang Yuanzhao chuckled in his heart, as if he had thought of something. But the thought was so quick that it almost shook off at once.
The two have really become friends after getting along so many times. Wang Yuanzhao is willing to take out the things in his heart and say that Lin Qiantan will try not to hide it from him if he has something.
Speaking of broken sheepskins, Wang Yuanzhao smiled and said: "If we dig up a treasure in the future, we will divide it in half."
Lin Qiantan only took him as a joke, although Wang Yuanzhao was laughing, but a serious look flashed in his eyes, so fast that Lin Qiantan didn't catch it.
Lin Qiantan wanted to find such a thing, it was not an overnight thing. When Wang Yuanzhao promised to help, Lin Qiantan didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanzhao also had news in a few days.
In just a few days, Wang Yuanzhao became friends with the sons of the Qi family and the Qin family. Not to mention everything, but what treasures are in the Qi family and the Qin family, Wang Yuanzhao can still be quietly inquired about.
But it's a pity that the Qi family and the Qin family seem to have lost the kind of broken sheepskin that Lin Qiantan said.
*
Wang Yuanzhao's recognition of his ancestors does not mean that he forgot his mother and brother aside.
The street was full of people talking about the birthday of Emperor Tianlong, and Wang Yuanzhao had just separated from the son of the Qi family in the teahouse, so he went to his mother.
Xia Sanniang didn't have a name in the Yan Guo Mansion and couldn't enter the gate of the Yan Guo Mansion, but she didn't seem to care much about these things.
Wang Yuanzhao remembered that his mother also asked him to find such a piece of broken sheepskin in the Yanguo Mansion. Then contact the treasure of Xia Kingdom that Lin Qiantan said, it is difficult for Wang Yuanzhao not to contact something.
But he chose to trust his mother.
Wang Yuanzhao had already asked someone to send Lin Qiantan news about the treasure, and he himself went back to his mother and asked tentatively. Xia Sanniang still looks unsmiling. When Wang Yuanzhao talked about broken sheepskin, Xia Sanniang's face remained unchanged, and she even smiled lightly: "Who did you listen to say that what I am looking for has something to do with the treasures of Xia Kingdom?" Your grandfather's surname is Xia, not Xiao...... The late Xia Emperor was brutal and unreasonable, who loved to have anything to do with him. ”
Wang Yuanzhao laughed when he heard it, Xia Sanniang has always been a person who doesn't like to tell lies. She said it directly, and Wang Yuanzhao must have believed it immediately.
Wang Yuanzhao ran between the two Wang families, and when he came back today, he would definitely have dinner with his mother and brother
"Your Majesty's birthday, tomorrow will be very busy, I won't be back for a while, talk to my mother and brother."
At the dinner table, Wang Yuanzhao and his mother and brother said this.
Since Xia Sanniang came to the capital, she has almost closed her door as before. And Wang Dagou is still like when he was in a small fishing village, going out to do some chores every day.
Even so, their family is not short of money.
According to Xia Sanniang, the ancestor of the Xia family was just a big family in the Xia Dynasty, and he was affected by the fall of the Xia Dynasty, so the family was ruined.
Xia Sanniang naturally said this before, but since Wang Yuanzhao specially asked again, she said it in detail.
Xia Sanniang explained it once, and Wang Yuanzhao listened to it, and after eating such a meal at home, he left quickly.
After Wang Yuanzhao left, Wang Dagou went out to see off his younger brother, and Xia Sanniang called Chen Wen and instructed him: "Go and see if anyone said something to the second child."
Xia Sanniang's face was not as "calm" as when Wang Yuanzhao was in front of him just now, but very gloomy.
Even when she said something like "Who loves to have a relationship with the last emperor", the hand under the sleeve that was pinched into the flesh pinched the blood on her arm. Only then did she dare to expose her arms from her sleeves, and when she looked, the inner walls of her clothes were stained with a layer of blood.
Wang Yuanzhao went out from the Wang family, and went to the military camp, Emperor Tianlong's birthday, and there were a lot of things to do. The soldiers and horses in the city must also have some defensive arrangements.
He didn't pay much attention to the fact that his family had arranged for him, and naturally someone went to Zhang Luo for him. Even he was a little unclear about whether Miss Wei was round or flat.
Wei Jiayin is not as free as him, and he can walk with a pat on his ass. Even if she is also dissatisfied, she has no choice but to stay at home and let her elders arrange it.
The matter between the Wei family and the Wang family has become a beautiful talk for a while, but it is buried in a "big event" like Lin Bixiang, but it is set off like a small thing.
Lin Qiantan heard that the two families had also walked six lily, her eyelashes drooped, and she only said, "I know."
Wang Yuanzhao's thoughts about her, she knows. She said that being friends with Wang Yuanzhao was actually just a rhetoric to persuade him to quit. When Wang Yuanzhao readily agreed, she was actually a little surprised.
However, seeing that the man was indeed serious about being friends with her, she was not very relieved. On the contrary, the more she stayed with Wang Yuanzhao, the more Lin Qiantan felt that she didn't seem to hate him as much as she imagined.
Especially, after losing the excuse of family origin.
Lin Qiantan couldn't quite say how she felt. It is clear that men and women have nothing to do with each other, Wang Yuanzhao and her friend are married, but she is a little unhappy.
The people in the courtyard also seemed to see that she seemed to be in a bad mood, and even walking around was quiet for a while, and no one chatted as usual.
Lin Qiantan sat down and picked up the silver needle.
Emperor Tianlong's birthday, but everyone who is qualified to participate in the birthday banquet must prepare gifts.
Lin Qiantan is no exception. She embroidered the best, so she planned to embroider a longevity screen for Emperor Tianlong, which was a small tribute.
After getting the dowry back, Lin Qiantan can unceremoniously take out the best fabric threads to make things. She had been embroidering since the previous paragraph, and now she was halfway there.
I just picked up the needle and thread and made those few strokes, but I didn't feel like I had the heart to do it, so I had to put it down-
According to what Wang Yuanzhao said, Yan Shao was planning to do something at the emperor's birthday banquet. I wonder what such hands and feet would be?
*
The emperor's birthday, the Dongshan Marquis Mansion also attaches great importance to it. Except for Lin Bixiang, who has a bad reputation at the moment, he can't go, everyone else is going to the palace for a banquet.
The best thing is that Shen Ning was opportunistic and simply used the five-hundred-year-old Buddha's hand that Lin Qiantan gave her as a gift to the emperor.
Lin Yangde also has a little bit of the meaning of using the birthday banquet to save the reputation of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion, and he told him sentence by sentence, all he said was the birthday banquet.
When the family ate, Shen Ning and Yin Wei were on the side, Yin Wei had been a little calm and strange recently, unlike her style.
Lin Qiantan knew that Yin Wei had been to the Yin family, and Yin Huai's practice gave Lin Bixiang a major blow.
I don't know what Yin Wei said when she went to the Yin family.
Yin Wei remembered how Yin Huai answered her when she went back to her parents' house to find Yin Huai.
Yin Huai's affairs are all dictated by Yin tenacity, and Yin Wei can't help but feel a little chilled when she thinks of her brother.
Yin toughness is weird, which Yin Wei has experienced since she was a child. But even so, she never thought that in the matter of her daughter, the person who gave the fatal blow would be her own brother.
Lin Bixiang is having a bad time now.
The child on her body fell off, causing a lot of damage to her body, and even if she was raised, she would not be able to say anything good about her relatives in the future.
Yin Wei originally told her about those people, she didn't look down on any of them, and she felt that those people were not worthy of her.
However, looking at it now, let alone Chu Jiang, I'm afraid there is no one within a hundred miles of the capital who is willing to want her.
But Lin Qiantan not only looked like she was not affected by this turmoil at all, but she could also marry Chu Jiang, so how could she be willing.
Why.
The more Lin Bixiang thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and the more she hated Lin Qiantan into her bones.
If she didn't understand that she had been killed in this matter, she would have lived in vain.
She originally thought that it was good luck that she was able to hide from her mother and Yin Huai, but looking back, every time she was doing things with Yin Huai, she was never interrupted by others.
And what kind of contraceptive soup is she drinking?
In the days when she was lying in bed to recuperate, she had time to string together the details that had been missed before the incident and come up with many things.
It's hateful that none of the doctors who prescribed medicine to her can be caught!
She couldn't argue, she could only scold Lin Qiantan, the mastermind behind the scenes, over and over again.
"Eighth sister is so angry." Lin Bixiang just smashed the bowl filled with sugar water on the ground, and Lin Qiantan was uninvited outside......
Lin Qiantan is very sisterly. Lin Bixiang was lying on the bed and couldn't move, Lin Qiantan would always come to see her, rain or shine.
Lin Bixiang saw her coming again: "Slut, you still dare to come!"
Lin Qiantan dodged the cup that flew over, as if she was very used to these, if Lin Bixiang hadn't been held down, she would have almost pounced and bit her.
*
Lin Qiantan went to Lin Bixiang again, Yin Wei must have heard it.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law stood beside her and poured her tea. She took a sip calmly, only the trembling hand in her hand betrayed her mood.
Yin Wei smiled: "The seventh girl has the demeanor of being a sister, but my daughter is spoiled by me."
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law understood her and knew that she was very angry, and it was not easy to persuade her, so she had to be silent.
Lin Bixiang was at a time when her temper was not easy to control. Lin Qiantan's hot face sticks to her cold ass every day, and when the people in the house see it, they will only look down on Lin Bixiang even more, but say that Lin Qiantan is a good sister.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law said: "Madam, this matter was obviously done by Miss Seven, why don't you settle the account!"
Yin Wei glanced at her and said, "It's a shame that you have endured it for several days, and you didn't ask until now."
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled awkwardly.
Yin Wei said: "She doesn't make mistakes in everything, she is filial piety, what can I do to deal with her." Right now, everyone in the mansion is staring at my stupid daughter, and if I deal with her in the mansion, won't I be in the right place? ”
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law said, "What does Madame mean?"
Yin Wei said: "I heard that she has been embroidering that longevity screen recently."
"Yes."
"You go out, tell the seventh lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion about embroidering the screen, and exaggerate the appearance as much as you can."
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and laughed: "Madame is Madame, I'll do it."
Yin Wei counted the days, and the day of the emperor's birthday was just Lin Qiantan's embroidery, if the quality was exaggerated to a certain extent, Lin Qiantan would not be able to take it out at that time, which would also be interesting.
When Lin Qiantan heard about the outside matter, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and move.
Originally, she planned to finish embroidering the screen in the house, and she wanted to know where the wind outside came from.
But no one in the room was worried. Lin Qiantan was not worried.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law exaggerated what she made to the sky, she looked at the things in front of her that were indeed worthy of Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law's exaggerated words, and did not take those words outside to heart.
It's just a matter of spending a little more time and getting it done as quickly as possible.
Yin Wei thought that she knew something about Lin Qiantan's embroidery skills, but after all, she couldn't count it, and the seventeen-year-old Lin Qiantan's body lived with a soul that was several years older than her body.
That soul ...... Took a few more years of embroidery needles.
Originally, it was Yin Wei's method used to raise and waste Lin Qiantan, but in the end, it became Lin Qiantan's most proud skill. Yin Wei still underestimated her too much after all.
Lin Qiantan sorted out her mood and sat down again, this time, she had the idea of doing embroidery.
However, because of Yin Wei's intervention, the sachet that Lin Qiantan originally promised to make for Chu Jiang had been delayed several times, and had to be delayed again. Lin Qiantan put it away for the time being and put it in the box.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou and them are watching the things outside, even if she doesn't go out for a while, it doesn't matter.
So in the last few days of February, Lin Qiantan concentrated on doing some embroidery work, and Yin Wei was proud to see her like this.
Finally, in the first two days of March, Lin Qiantan completed the screen.
But maybe God is also helping Yin Wei. When the birthday banquet was only a day away, Cutting Yun led the little girl to clean up the house, accidentally fell, knocked down the screen, and pierced a big hole.
The screen with the beautiful scenery was embroidered, and it was completely destroyed. Lin Qiantan heard about it and walked over to take a look. She didn't think anything of it, but the faces of Jinhe and the others who were waiting below were dark.
There is only one day before the birthday banquet, and as an old man in the house, Jie Yun made such a major mistake, that is, he has always had a good temper and refused to say good things about Jie Yun.
Cutting Yun trembled slightly and knelt on the floor of the room, her face was pale, listening to Jinhe's accusation that she had betrayed her master and being Yin Wei's lackey, she was defending in her mouth: She really didn't mean it!
Lin Qiantan spent a lot of effort to embroider this screen, of course she was clear, but how could she explain that she just happened to slip and made a big mistake?
Lin Qiantan glanced at her deeply, only sighed lightly, did not worry about her carelessness, and comforted everyone: "Although this matter is troublesome, it is still too late to repair it overnight, and there is no need to find out whose fault it is at present."
That being said, but who doesn't know, embroidering this kind of thing, ruined is ruined, and no matter how much it is repaired, it will leave flaws.
Lin Qiantan didn't explain much.
She was just thinking that if she followed Yan Shao's plan, maybe there would be some big moves, and Emperor Tianlong's birthday banquet for his fortieth birthday might not be successful. She tinkered with it a little, and when the time came, as long as she didn't have the opportunity to pick it up in public and put it in front of everyone's eyes, she should be able to make do with it.
However, what made Lin Qiantan even more concerned was that in this palace banquet in her previous life, she was the one who was left at home, and she had never heard that something big had happened in the palace......
She said so, the girls naturally cooperated with her, and Cut Yun was full of panic and wanted to make up for her skills, and wanted to give Lin Qiantan a hand, but Lin Qiantan thought that she was not familiar with embroidery, so she didn't use her.
