Chapter 360: Boudoir Happiness
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) congratulated her aunt with the wrong mouth: "If you have another grandson, the royal family is overjoyed." β
The queen deliberately said: "Give you a lottery head, and report it to the queen mother by the way." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was not fooled: "It's okay." β
The grandson of the emperor has gradually grown up, and the matter of adding an emperor grandson can no longer stimulate the nerves of the queen mother, so she ordered the palace people to go to the East Palace to reward Qin Siyue (Long Xi): "You have the opportunity to often relieve the crown princess and take care of Cong'er. β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was helpless: "You forgot, I haven't gone through such a thing, and you and your aunt have to come to solve it." β
"That's right. The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "Just look at me, I know that I have to rely on my son." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took advantage of the situation to present the proofread "Internal Training" to the Queen Mother: "I have checked my aunt three times, and now I will choose a few outlines to read to you, if there is no objection, the queen's aunt will enter the middle palace note, and you will make a decree, and the Pope's uncle will move the edict to the world." β
The queen drafted the "Internal Training", and there were three people in the high staff: the queen mother, Qin Siyue (Longxi), and the crown princess. The queen mother is old, the crown princess is a daughter-in-law, and the biggest contribution is still Princess Chaoyun, a feminist pioneer. The following is the state code that she asked to be added to the "Internal Training".
"The method of fixing the body from the mother: the son is inferior to the mother, and the illegitimate child is not included in the family register."
"Shu sin confinement law: concubines are not wives, even if the queen collapses early, concubines are not allowed to be queens, and they can choose to marry the ladies of the boudoir in the summer period."
"The law of mother-in-law alone: the concubine inherits the family business, and the position of the biological mother remains unchanged, such as the son of the imperial concubine ascends the throne, the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine, the biological mother's mother's family pushes grace to the mother's mother's family of two ranks, and the son of the side room inherits the lord, and the biological mother's title is lower than the mother's two levels."
The queen mother didn't hear anything wrong at all: "I have drawn up the decree, and I will use the seal." β
A former mother of the country who has suffered from the competition for favor in the side room, a current queen who is worried about her husband filling the harem, and a princess Chaoyun, the public enemy of the side room. Three women in one play, no matter how strong the emperor is, it doesn't help, not to mention that there are still a hundred recognitions in his heart.
The ministers can't object, the "seven outs" are followed by the "three don't go", the queen is not to overthrow the social order of male superiority and inferiority of women, and her "old man" also said that her knowledge is limited, please be erudite and Confucian to make suggestions, if there is a place that goes against the customs, it can be modified one after another.
The main content of the "Internal Training" is to standardize women's morality, and one of the things that the emperor is most proud of himself is that "the son-in-law is unified, and the name is just", the queen is stable, and she is opposed to the reverie of 'supporting the eldest son of the emperor to fight in the ring with the crown prince'. Moreover, it is righteous to have a share in the concubine, and she picks at the three sturdy women when she is full.
The women want to offer the queen, and the detailed rules of the law of the exclusive respect of the concubine clearly stipulate: the establishment of the side room, the right to give out the wife, the illegitimate child in the outer room, compared to passers-by, the family has no son-in-law, the wife adopts the concubine is the most respectful, and the division of property is better than the eldest son; the husband has an only son, and he is not allowed to raise the concubine, and the lord is demoted, and the heir is not established in the main room, and the family property is divided.
The women who supported half the sky were happy, and their husbands and outhouses were all ruthless in their hearts: "Look at what you are doing now, what if you hurt the little goblins outside? β
Even Princess Zhonglian praised the queen on the occasion of the concubine party: "She is worthy of being the master and mother, and she is really thoughtful." β
When she said this, Princess Guo would not remember that her husband was also a concubine.
Princess Zhongheng straightened her waist, she has no son, King Zhongheng has already planned to ask the eldest son to be crowned the prince, this is good, Zongren Mansion directly greeted: "You go back and discuss with the princess first." β
If you record it in the name of the princess, you can get the priority of inheriting the title, and the side rooms who don't put the main mother in the eyes of the master mother leave their husbands and run to the main courtyard, all of them want to make a future for their son.
Similar situations exist in many houses, and the main rooms raise their eyebrows from the inside out.
Everyone knows that Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is a cadre under Queen Shi, and after the issuance of "Internal Training", her prestige among foreign women has been greatly enhanced.
There was a heavy snow in winter, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sat at the door with a hand stove and watched Gu Changbai (Mokun) father and son dance the sword, and felt indescribably comfortable, and turned his head to see the "Red Tuanzi" jumping and running, and hurriedly raised his voice and asked: "You slow down, fall carefully." β
Before the words fell, "Red Tuanzi" really fell to the ground solidly, and without waiting for Qin Siyue (Long Xi) to get up, he got up first and smiled at his mother: "My son is fine." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) beckoned Gu Mao to him, patted the snow on his body and reproached: "How old is it, still like this!"
Gu Mao said mysteriously: "Mother, I just saw Meng Keyang in the Dongfu Garden. β
"What's so strange about that. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled, "He is your sister-in-law's brother." β
Gu Mao broke the news: "He secretly hugged the little nun who often came to our house and kissed him smartly." β
The hand stove in Qin Siyue's (Long Xi) arms rolled down the placket of her clothes, raised her head and instructed Chunlan: "Call all the little guys who followed Gu Mao." β
After confirming her son's words, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) wanted to beat someone angrily, pointed at Xia Lian and said: "You go-you go to the Sanglu Division to preach my decree, and seal the Shuiyue Nunnery for me from now on, and then let them check the dirt in the field, I will wait to come and talk back." β
Xia Lian tactfully persuaded: "Master, don't bother with this kind of thing, when your brother is born, you can clean them up as you want." β
Chunlan was also afraid of colliding with the Buddha and Bodhisattva, so she came over to advise her, and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) gave up: "Tell Brother Bin's daughter-in-law to prevent those obscene embryos in the clothes from bringing the young master in the mansion." β
was angry, and the maid came in and replied: "Master, Uncle Qiang invites An to come." β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) stopped with Gu Kui, and said with a smile: "It's been a few months, and I think he wants to stay in the south for the New Year." β
Gu Qiang came back from a trip, and he seemed to have lost some weight, the accounts were settled with the steward, and he was just returning to the southbound journey in front of his uncle and aunt. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled at Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) and said: "I'll see each other in time for the New Year's Festival, and I have booked someone to ask the sister-in-law of Dongfu and Bin's daughter-in-law to help with it, and I will give him a family next year." β
"That's fine. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said again, "You are heavy now, it doesn't hurt to look at it with your palms, don't be tired." β
Gu Qiang said hurriedly: "My nephew is still young, so I am not in a hurry to start a family." β
"Child's words!" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) scolded with a smile, "I married your aunt early in your age." β
Gu Qiang defended: "My nephew still has to studyβ"
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) frowned slightly: "Marrying a daughter-in-law is not in the way of studying." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) saw Gu Qiang's words flickering, and always felt that there was something else hidden in it.
Later, the Mu Tianliang brothers came to say goodbye, and Gu Changbai (Mokun) and his wife knew what had happened.
Gu Qiang got off Gusu, and occasionally when he wandered on the street, he saw a high-ranking female singing girl who was about to be bullied, and for some reason, Gu Qiang and the singing girl looked at each other, and Lu saw injustice to stand up for him
γ That Su was originally the cousin of the prefect of Suzhou, and invited a group of subordinates to work with Gu Qiang, how could Gu Qiang be afraid of him, a few minions who were beaten with three fists and two feet were all over the ground looking for teeth, after the matter was big, the night patrol of the captor came up to take people, and the guards showed the waist card of the Chaoyun Princess Mansion, and scared the soap Li half to death, and when the prefect arrived to make amends, Gu Qiang ransomed his net worth for the singer, and brought him back to the pavilion where he stayed, and brought him all the way back to Beijing.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't expect to give birth to this matter, because she asked: "What kind of fox and bechanting way, hooking your uncle's soul?"
Mu Tianliang replied: "The slave has also seen the little selling singer, who has a long weak willow and a strong wind, which is very beautiful. β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said angrily: "It is Bai Zhiying who asked you to follow?"
Brother Mu Tianliang hurriedly kowtowed: "Uncle Mingjian, the slave has been persuaded, but Uncle Qiang is confused and can't listen to it at all." β
"Qiang'er and the singing girlβ" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) stopped at the point.
Mu Tiandong understood: "Uncle Qiang has never crossed the rules, he sleeps in separate rooms all the way, but he eats in one place every day." β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) doesn't care about many: "Send two people to get the singing girl from the small sale, or give it away or sell it, and you are not allowed to make a noise!"
"This-huh-" Mu Tiandong hesitated for a moment before responding.
Sending away the Mu family brothers, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said: "Look at it, Qiang'er can easily hand over talents." β
"I can't help him!" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was still angry, "If you raise a singing girl before you get married, can you still have a reputation if you spread it?"
At noon the next day, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) went to the court, and the Mu family brothers really went back and forth: "Uncle Qiang is tightly protected, and the minions can't do it." β
"Let him go. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said in her heart: The tighter this kind of thing is pressed, the greater the rebellious mentality, let it go, and when he is too fresh, there is a possibility of breaking up the gang. β
In this matter, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is obviously smart.
The imperial doctor advised when he asked for peace and security: "Your Highness also knows medical science, and you should understand the truth of 'sorrow and sorrow for the body', now that the month is high, if you don't feel relieved, not only the little prince will be hindered, but Your Highness's jade body will also be damaged." β
"Got it. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) waved her hand, "Send the king to worship." β
Chunlan took the opportunity to preach: "Master, you listen to the words of the imperial doctor, even if the Northern Barbarian Tartars will kill the root of the city wall, you have to take care of the little boy and think about anything else." β
"Okay, I'll close the door from Ming'er, and let him collapse and crack outside, except for our little master. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) stood up, "Fortunately, it's almost the New Year, and the eldest girl and the second girl have no classes, so let their sisters and sons take care of it." β
The schoolwork in the palace is an exclusive "housekeeper", and the Meijun sisters have long been eager to try, and they have written their hearts on their faces when they heard Qin Siyue's (Longxi) authorization, and they must take care of it with a package ticket.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) instructed one more sentence: "The old lady and the wife here, the sister-in-law of Feng and the daughter-in-law of Bin in the East Mansion are all ready-made masters, if you don't understand it, go and ask for advice, don't change the law with your own wisdom!"
The sisters responded in unison: "Yes." β
Mei Jun has a lot of eyes, because she begged Qin Siyue (Long Xi): "If my sister-in-law sends a competent helper, we will be cheaper." β
"No. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) understood what Mei Jun meant, "There is a wife watching, so don't worry." β
Before the New Year's Festival, the power of the Shenlong General's Mansion was transferred to Mei Jun and Mei Jun.
Of course, Mei Jun is the main thing, although Mei Jun is long, after all, there is a difference between her sisters, and she also pays attention not to steal the limelight of her sisters, and occasionally reminds her to fill in the gaps when there are omissions.
When Gu Yi went to the mansion to talk to Mrs. Zhang, she sighed: "The princess treats her sister-in-law without hiding her selfishness at all, and she is really a family with you." β
Mrs. Zhang felt comfortable: "Since you say so, when you talk about marriage in the future, I will find a generous sister-in-law for Zhiqing." β
Gu Yi's heart moved: "Then I will entrust it to you with a thick face." β
Mei Jun is the appointed concubine of the Seventh Emperor, but Mei Jun is a concubine, and there is no suitable candidate in her husband's family. The Zhang family is the door of the emperor's master, and the children are all promising, and the Lin family is still high, if they can marry, the help to Lin Juegui in the future is immeasurable.
Mrs. Zhang brought up another matter: "Bufan has been running to your house lately?"
Gu Yi was helpless: "I said that I asked for teaching, and I often brought things to Zhiqing, one year and two years old, in case something bad came outββ"
"Bufan, this child, has a softer temperament, and there is no bad heart. Mrs. Zhang asked tentatively, "The old lady intends to kiss each other, what are the rules between you and Aunt Lin?"
"Sister-in-law, although the blood and bones do not flow backwards, but if it is your son, I will treat him with a lot of taboos!" Second sister-in-law-" Gu Yi sneered, "I heard that she is still thinking about the Mu family's account!"
The Mu family has lived in the Shenlong General's Mansion for three or four years, and there is no sign of moving out until now, and it is clear that the Huang sisters have other plans.
The old lady couldn't say yes. "The imperial merchant is also a businessman, not Fan was born in the prince's family, just because he is a cousin of the protector of the country, how many young ladies from the hairpin family line up to marry in, no matter how outstanding Hua Li is, he can't pass the first hurdle of fighting his father.
Gu Yi couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that the girl in their family is not inferior to Sister Mei standing together." β
"No matter how much you stand out, it's priceless to be dragged down by such a brother. Mrs. Zhang is especially prejudiced against Hua Pan, "You don't know that in the past two years, Lian'er has fought for this wife's cousin, and I don't know how many responses." β
It is very important for the brother-in-law and brother-in-law to compete for anger, and there are ready-made examples, and it is also a matter of time for Li Guifei's brother to be questioned for corruption charges. The emperor was slapped in the face, and sentenced the pseudo-brother-in-law to exile with cruelty, so there are still many criticisms about the emperor's favoritism in the court.
Mrs. Zhang and Gu Yi's sister-in-law look down on the Mu family, so they might as well take care of their accounts.
The older generation is nothing more than grinding teeth for the parents and children's marriages, and the girls are much more lively, listening to Zhiqing talk about studying embroidery recently, suffering from the lack of excellent samples to watch, Hua Li hurriedly said: "I have a piece of Suzhou embroidery there, which was brought by my father in the early years when he spent a lot of money, for fear of poor storage, and the glazed porcelain was stored in a place to play Jinling and moved, and you can be sent to study." β
Zhi Qing smiled: "Since it is such a rare object, how can it win my sister's love? β
Hua Li then ordered Huang Ying, who was serving: "You asked your mother to get the key and took the small screen of the flower fish." β
Mei Jun suggested: "It's not good if the maid falls clumsily, why don't we go to Sister Bao's room to appreciate it?"
Zhiqing nodded: "What the second sister said is true." β
Hua Li knew that Hua Pan was not at home, and sent Ying'er to tell Haomenzi to rush him back to pay attention to avoidance, so he invited his sisters to go to Xuexiang Garden.
Zhiqing, Lan Ruo, Mei Jun, and Fu Yao looked at the screen and praised it.
Lan Ruo said: "This kind of thing, I only see Changbai's sister-in-law can embroider it, I remember that when the Queen Mother was a thousand years, she had made a lot of effort to make a double-sided three-different embroidered screen, and it was a full house in the palace, and it has not been replaced in Ningshou Palace until now." β
Zhiqing and the others asked: "How do you call double-sided three-different embroidery?"
Lan Ruo explained: "Ordinary double-sided embroidery, the color of the positive and negative patterns embroidered by one needle is average, and the screen embroidered by the sister-in-law has different patterns, stitches, and colors on both sides, so it is three different." β
Hua Li was envious: "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to take a look." β
"What's so difficult about this?" Mei Junlan said with a smile, "The eldest sister-in-law must have a private collection, and when the confinement is out after the year, we will ask for it." β
Mei Jun was careful, and naturally understood that Lan Ruo had misinterpreted Hua Li's meaning, and lowered her head and did not speak.
After talking for a while, Sister Mei Jun looked at the time and said goodbye, and Mu Huang stayed bitterly: "It's rare for you to get together in one place, so you can have lunch and then leave." β
Mei Jun was just about to refuse, but a loud laugh came from outside the house: "I said that I couldn't find you, and I dared to hide from Sister Hua." β
Zhiqing smiled: "This Lan girl is still crazy"
The person who came was Gu Taijun's great-niece Xu Xinglan.
The four major families in Jinling, the Gu family of one family and two dukes is actually a little unworthy of the name, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) is a first-class duke, Gu Yin's Marquis, Gu Kui's rank is the same earl, and Gu Mao is a first-class viscount, Gu Feng of the East Mansion hangs a three-rank general, and the list is quite a battle;
Gu Lao Taijun's father is one of the twelve founding princes, he and his wife only have a pair of children, the older is Xinglan's grandfather, and the younger is Gu Lao Taijun. Xinglan's grandfather had joined hands with Gu Tianyou to rescue the driver, so he was allowed to inherit the original lord, but he didn't expect that the third generation would be more promising, the second son Shi Nai, and the third son Shi Ding all made great contributions in the Battle of Jingliao six years ago, and the old Shi Hou who was sick was even more armored, standing outside the palace gate, waiting to be chaotic, Shi Nai attacked the marquis, and gave Shi Ding, who caught the princess and prince of the Northern Barbarians, as the "Marquis of Zhongjing", which is that the Xu family is a real double marquis.
Xinglan's father was originally the eldest son of Lao Shihou, but unfortunately he was weak since he was a child, and after his wife died in childbirth, he mourned too much, and died of illness. Xinglan has been raised by her uncle and aunt since she was a child, and Mrs. Gu took pity on her life, and often received a small residence in the Shenlong General's Mansion, and Mrs. Zhang was generous, giving her extra shares of the same as Mei Jun.
Mu Huang was even more happy: "You sisters speak first, and I will personally watch them to clean up the vegetables." β
Xinglan said very familiarly: "Auntie, I want to eat shredded chicken porridge." β
Mei Jun couldn't leave even if she wanted to, so she had to send a maid to deliver a message to Mei Jun.
Gu Xuan happened to be holding her eldest sister and playing in the hugging hall.
