In the middle of December in the early year of the Apocalypse, the Fang family's concubine Zhilian married the Lin family girl, because the national mourning period had just passed, for fear of being said to be suspicious, the marriage was not done in a big way, and the Communist Party of China got close relatives and friends and good colleagues together to eat a meal.

Zhang's pomp and circumstance when he first got married, compared with it, and his heart became more and more unfair. When Fang Jinglan stepped into her room, she couldn't help crying again.

Fang Jinglan was also quite aware that Lian's marriage was a little cold, but this was also a matter of no choice, thinking about the one hundred and twenty-eight dowry that the new daughter-in-law brought into the house, he was quite proud, and he was not so disgusted with the Zhang family, so he automatically secretly paid three hundred taels of silver from his private room to the Zhang family.

On the day of Zhilian's marriage, Zhili still rushed back from the capital, personally participated in his marriage, and He also gave a generous gift, I don't know if it was because he wanted to be the groom's official, or how, Ruqing found that Zhilian suddenly matured a lot, and Zhili and his wife actually talked very happily.

In this era, there is also a noisy cave house, but it is not Ruqing's share, Ruqing can only pestering and talking to He's family, He also likes this sister-in-law, and sits with her to talk about new topics in Beijing.

My uncle, Zhao Ziang, was promoted, and he was promoted from the seventh grade to the left. Aunt Fang Jingxuan finally survived the previous rumors and raised her eyebrows again.

Ruyan, the princess of King Jing who married Li Xiao, has not heard of it well, but it is not bad, but I heard that Princess Jing is the master again, and married two side concubines to Li Xiao, these two side concubines also have a lot of backgrounds, one is the daughter of the fourth grade Zuo Du Yushi, and the other is the daughter of the third grade Hubu Lang. These two side concubines have good family backgrounds, and they are descendants of Zheng'er Bajing, and one of them also has a cousin relationship with Princess Jing, so she is more valued than the concubine Ruyan, who was born as a minor official.

Again, the Empress Dowager made the decision again, and sent four beautiful palace maids to Li Xiao's room, Princess Jing looked good, and all of them were raised as aunts.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and King Jing's mansion was widely favored back then, because King Jing was already the No. 1 king of Tianzi, and no matter how much reward could not express the king's love, he made an exception and added Yunhe County Lord as Princess Anning. and the lord of Yunhe has this honor, among the kings, only the daughter of the king of Shu.

The lord of Yunhe County was crowned Princess Anning, and the daughter of the King of Shu was crowned Princess Qingning, each rewarded with 2,000 stone Fenglu, and gave another mansion in the palace, which was raised by the current Shunyu Empress Dowager, and the holy title was titled, in addition to asking the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Concubine, the Emperor, and the Empress, there was no need to ask the concubines in the palace for peace.

King Jing's Mansion won this honor, since other kings can not be compared, for a while, King Jing's Mansion is like a city, so lively.

Ruqing's mind automatically appeared with an arrogant and arrogant face, secretly sighing that God is really unfair, people like Yunhe County Lord can be awarded the title of Holy Princess Yipin, and enjoy countless glory and wealth, just because she has a good birth. Thinking about her identity as the concubine of Fangfu, she was secretly depressed, this person was really angry compared to people.

Seeing that the three girls were all depressed, He couldn't help but enlighten and said: "My sisters don't envy her, the princess looks at the scenery, but in fact there are many elbows, how can there be fun in sharing the heavenly theory under the knees of her parents." ”

He's words also resonated with everyone, Rushan glared at Rumei Ruqing, and hated in his heart: If there are no these two people, I can indeed live comfortably.

Rumei secretly glanced at Rushan, and was angry in her heart: if there was no thorn, it would be perfect.

Ruqing complained, how good it would be if Dad only had one wife.

He Shi looked at the looks of the girls, and continued to talk about the gossip in the capital.

The 2,000 gold of the Marquis of Zeyun Mansion was remarried to the prince of Cheng because he did not marry the Jingwang Mansion.

Ruyan's sister-in-law Rushuang has not been able to find a good in-law because of Ruyan's relationship, so she chose and chosen, and finally became the house filling of the Admiral of Jinyiwei. Although Jinyiwei has supreme privileges in the Daqing Dynasty (according to Ruqing's description: the Red Guards in the ** period, and the Junchen in the Wu Zetian era), but Jinyiwei does not have a very good impression in the minds of the ministers, and then it is to fill the house, and there are two stepsons, a stepdaughter and a few concubines, and there are several concubines from her husband, and the days of filling the house will not be too good.

Rumei clapped her hands and said, "I deserve it, since ancient times, women have paid attention to the name and festival, this Ruyan did not hesitate to gamble with her own reputation and the reputation of the family for the sake of glory and wealth, although she got the purpose, but it also affected the family deeply, I don't know if my third aunt has regretted it?" regretted that he had no way to teach his daughter, and let his daughter affect the family's reputation. As he spoke, he glanced at him as if he was good.

Rushan pretended not to see it, and said to He Shi quietly: "Sister-in-law, why don't you tell me the news of the prince of Yujun, I believe that some people will love to hear it." ”

He smiled and talked about the news of Li Plunder, "The king of Yujun has a new concubine room, or a Danjiao in the troupe, the princess of Yujun does not agree to enter the door on the grounds that lowly women are not allowed to enter the gate of the palace, Nai He that Danjiao actually secretly Chen Cang, the belly is pregnant, and it is said that it is a male fetus, and the king of Yujun only has a son under his knees, which is inevitably thin and desolate, I heard that this Danjiao is pregnant with a male fetus, so I ignored the obstruction of the princess of Yujun, and I just accepted the door. As soon as the woman entered the gate of the palace, she bowed down and waited for the hostess, and treated her subordinates well, everyone said that this person was a person who understood the rules, but accused the princess of Yujun of not coming. ”

Ruqing was listening to it with relish, but Rumei was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, "What is my sister-in-law talking about?" Let's talk about Li Plunder. ”

He Shi looked at Rumei in surprise, looked at Rumei's expectant face, seemed to understand something, looked at him, considered the language, and said slowly: "Li Plunder is the only son of the king of Yujun, and he has been spoiled in every way, although he has not yet married a wife, but he has also accepted two concubines, and there are six concubines in the house, and there are several concubines," she looked at Rumei's stunned face, and said: "It's a pity that they are all blessed people, some of these concubines were aborted in the mother's womb, and some died not long after birth." At present, there is only one concubine, but it is also full of disasters and diseases. ”

Rushan laughed crisply, and said disdainfully: "Sure enough, it is the Hou Men like the sea, and he began to ride the horse at such an age, if he attacks the lord in the future, then he will pay it back?" If you marry a daughter-in-law who is the right person, you can still restrain one or two, otherwise --- will really pity the future princess. Before marrying, you have to endure a large number of concubines. As he spoke, he covered his lips with his hands and smiled so inelegantly.

Rumei was so angry that her face was blue, and she was about to sneer at each other, but Ruqing hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister-in-law, is there anything else fun, let's hear about it?" ”

He secretly praised Ruqing's sensibility, talked about the new things in the capital, and finally talked about Jiang Yunran, the son of Yongning, who is known as the first beautiful man in Beijing. He Shi's gaze looked at Ruqing as if he was nothing, and he found the right language as he spoke, "Ling Guogong's daughter and Yongning Bofu have preliminarily agreed on a family affair, but they were intercepted halfway by the second son of the British princess. Mrs. Yongningbo was so angry that she was sick for several days, but she could only scold Ling Guogong's family in private for being snobbish, but she still had to pretend to have a smile on her face and gave a generous gift. But Mrs. Yongningbo got up from where she fell, and quickly found a partner for her son, the Kaiping Junjun of Chengjun Wangfu, this Chengjun and Yujun Wang are cousins, and the matchmaker made by the princess of Yujun, and the marriage between the two families was decided. Seeing Ruqing's expression as usual, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but said with regret: "It's a pity that the Kaiping Junjun is unlucky, and it has only been half a year since he married into Yongningbo, and he got a strange disease, and he invited the imperial doctor in the palace to see it countless times, but it still didn't get better, and he didn't even survive this year, so he went like this." He thought that the Kaiping Junjun also had several connections with him, and he thought that such a young woman had not lived for twenty-eight years and went like this, and he was also related.

Ruqing heard that Jiang Yunran had become a widower before he was twenty years old, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. A gentle and elegant and smiling face came to mind, and it seemed that no matter how complete the fame, wealth and fame were complete, people would not be perfect.

"That Mrs. Jiang must have been depressed, and she was finally selected as an excellent daughter-in-law." Whether it is his family background or status, the Kaiping Junjun is one in a hundred, and it is estimated that the Yun family will be distressed.

Speaking of this, He was happy, "No, because the prince of Kaiping is low-married, Mrs. Jiang did not have enough confidence, so she smashed the dowry of thirty-six cars, which was a sensation for a while." However, the dowry of the county lord of Kaiping was only one hundred and twenty-eight ordinary lifts, and not long after he entered the Yongning Mansion, he was carried back by the princess of Chengjun. Listening to He's tone, he didn't seem to have a very good impression of Yun's person.

Ruqing didn't want to think about it, only sympathized with the Yun family, thinking that if she took a heavy dowry, she would be able to shock the daughter-in-law who was married highly, but she thought that her daughter-in-law had a short life and died early. And the bride price that the Yun clan smashed in the past was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return.

Thinking of the Yun family's noble and indifferent face, although Ruqing sympathized on her face, she was also happy in her heart, but she was secretly sad for Jiang Yunran. Although this person is like a flower, gentle and elegant, Mata is always dead and unworthy, and it will be difficult to marry a wife who is satisfied with all aspects in the future.

He sighed, "It's not, it's a pity that Jiang Shizi is such a promising young man who is outstanding in fresh clothes and angry horses." She looked at Ruqing lightly and said, "Looking at the children of the powerful in the entire capital, this Jiang Yunran is still young and promising. It's a pity ----" and then stopped talking, but changed the topic, only talking about the Yun family, "After this blow, Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to look at those powerful and famous women, and only looked for girls from medium-sized eunuch families, but unfortunately, although there are so many daughters of the official family in Beijing, it is difficult to find a girl who can be on the stage in all aspects." In addition, Mrs. Jiang's vision is high--- "Speaking of this, He suddenly felt disheartened, so he didn't say any more, just looked at Ruqing, and the regret in his eyes became more and more intense.

Ruqing pretended not to see it, and only smiled blindly: "Mrs. Jiang is an only son, and Jiang Shizi is so outstanding, although she is dead, it does not prevent her from marrying a wife?" What's more, although Yongning Bofu is only a second-class title, it has always been a popular magnates, and there are many people who want to stutter, I believe that as long as you choose carefully, you will be able to find a girl who is good in all aspects. ”

He nodded, "That's the same." ”

*

Ruqing found that the eldest sister-in-law, He, looked dignified and elegant, but in fact she was also full of bad water, and when it came to the gossip of those powerful and famous families in Beijing, it was like a super paparazzi with a clockwork, and Linglong had a batch. However, He's words are still very measured, except for Yongningbo's wife Yun, few people say that others are not.

But He didn't have the potential to tell stories, and these gossips were only brought in a few words, and there was nothing exciting, so less than halfway through the talk, Rumei Rushan listened to the lack of interest, and went back to sleep. Only Ruqing, a little gossip fan, still listens to it with relish.

He also said some interesting stories about the princes and sons in Beijing, so that the son-in-law of the prince went to the Qinglou during the national funeral, and also fought with the second son of the British princess to grab a woman in the Qinglou, and was caught by the Jinyi guard, and was admonished by the official, and the matter stabbed into the ears of the emperor, it must have ended miserably, and the two princes were reprimanded by the emperor.

The son of the eldest princess of the kingdom of Yu also made the concubine pregnant during the state funeral, and I don't know who put it into the emperor's ear, this pampered son of the powerful was "invited" into the palace, and then let the master of Taixue read a "courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness", the eldest princess of the kingdom of Yu was distressed about her son, and entered the palace several times, but unfortunately she didn't even see the emperor's face, and returned with a feather.

Next, there are troubles about the children of various powerful people in Beijing, and the first one is Li Xiao, the son of King Jing.

When He talked about Li Xiao, his face was extremely strange, "On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Li Xiao returned to Beijing, and invited the sons and daughters of the powerful to come into the mansion for a while, and by the way, they repaid the bear's paws treasured by the palace. But I didn't expect that when I went to the banquet on the second day, there were not many guests, and I heard that with the addition of the royal family, my brother-in-law was also fortunate to be invited, and there were a total of thirteen people, divided into two tables. I thought it was a 'pearl in the palm of my hand', but I didn't expect it to be a 'bear's paw' on the table. At that time, everyone wondered, the prince of Nalu County was born with a quick mouth, so he asked on the spot, and Li Xiao brought the kitchen. The kitchen explained that it was supposed to be the 'pearl of the palm' as instructed. But when I was making the materials, I found that there was only a pair of bear paws in the jar. Therefore, it can only be temporarily changed to 'one product'. The guests laughed when they heard this, and they all laughed at Li Xiao, who couldn't even count the bear's paws. At that time, Li Xiao's face darkened, and he asked the kitchen, since there was only a pair of bear paws, why didn't he tell him in advance. The kitchen man said that he had come to ask for advice, but last night when Li Xiao was drunk and stayed at Concubine Liu's, so he sent someone to ask Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu came up with this idea. Speaking of this, He covered his lips and laughed again, "It is estimated that Li Xiao must have been very angry at that time, but in front of so many guests, it is not easy to have a seizure, although no one dares to laugh at him, but in front of so many guests, he really has no face." Then she looked at Ruqing again and sighed, "I heard that Li Xiao's princess is still related to our family, but it's a pity that ---- I and your eldest brother are in the capital, but it is not easy to visit." She paused, pondered the language, and said, "At the beginning, when my eldest brother and I went out or went to a banquet, we were all scared, for fear of being bumped into by mean people and bringing up the old things again. ”

Ruqing knew the anger of the Zhili couple, Ruyan married into the palace by disgraceful means, and the relatives were deeply affected, and it is estimated that the Zhili couple was not less ridiculed by those mean people.

Ruqing shook He's hand and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's been so long, I believe no one will mention it anymore." "From the gossip of the He family just now, Li Xiao returned to the palace and stayed in the side concubine's house, and the stewards did not go to report anything to the princess of the world, but called a side concubine to be the master.

But Ruqing didn't have time to sympathize with Ruyan, because He remembered that she couldn't laugh anymore in the next sentence, "Li Xiao was faceless in front of the guests that day, should it be calculated or something." ”

Ruqing's heart jumped, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Is it possible?" He is the prince of King Jing, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, who dares to calculate him? ”

He nodded, "At that time, a guest asked him where he got this bear paw beating, and he said that he exchanged it for a box of top-grade South Sea pearls. It was ridiculed fiercely, the pearls of the South China Sea are a royal tribute, and although the bear's paw is also precious, it is not worth much. Li Xiao was still arguing with himself at the time, he thought that there should be two pairs of such a big jar. Speaking of this, He covered his lips and laughed,

But Ruqing couldn't laugh, and shrunk her neck weakly, this will be too sinful, alas----
