Three days later, the Zhang family scraped together, sold a lot of treasures, scraped together 180,000 taels of silver, and handed it to Nanling Mo in front of the whole family. Nan Lingmei was ordered to be grounded in her own yard to copy the female 100 times, and she was not allowed to come out until she finished copying. In front of everyone, Nanling Mo distributed 30,000 taels of silver tickets to Nanling Xiang, and the rest was directly stuffed to the old lady.

Nan Shen's slap had internal force, and Nan Lingmei's face was not light. Although Nan Lingmei was punished, she also invited a good doctor to treat her injuries, and specially went to find Yu Xuesheng Muscle Cream for Nan Lingmei to use. One is that Nan Lingmei is only for her birth mother in the end, and she has not actually done anything wrong, and the second is that the palace has officially issued a post, inviting all court officials above the third rank to bring their family members into the palace to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, and the female relatives of the grade have a separate post. The three Nanling Mei have been engaged, and the Yong'an Hou Mansion is the future in-law, and it is also essential to move around during the New Year.

Dayan State stipulates that every 100 officials can rest for one day a month, three days a month. Before the New Year's Festival, the seal began on the 24th day of the lunar month of the new year, and it was closed until the 16th day of the first month. The rest is a day off on the Duanyang Festival, a day off on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a day off on the Wanshou Festival. The twentieth day of the lunar month is the day when the ministers rest, and it is also the day when the Nannuma family enters Beijing.

At the right moment, the old lady waited in the main hall of the front yard with a large family. Originally, the old lady wanted to wait outside the gate of the mansion, but now it is really the moon, the weather is too cold, and under the persuasion of everyone, he is waiting in the main hall of the front yard.

"The second master is back, the second master is back." The people rushed all the way to report that Nan Marsh had arrived outside the gate of the house, and the old lady stood up excitedly, and Nan Shen hurriedly helped her to greet her.

Everyone saw a middle-aged man with red lips and white teeth walking into the palace with a middle-aged woman and three children. Xu hadn't seen the old lady for too long, Nannuma stepped forward quickly, hurriedly held the old lady's hand, and her eyes were full of tears: "Mother, Nu'er is not filial, so you are worried about labor." The old lady wiped her tears, choked up and smiled: "Get up, get up quickly, just come back, just come back." ”

Nan Nuan arched his hand and said: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, is everything okay with big brother?" Nan Shen also nodded, held Nan Nuan's hand and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, everything is fine for my brother." The third brother is on duty today, and he will come back after the change of guard. ”

The women and children behind Nannuma all saluted: "Mother/grandmother is fine, eldest brother/uncle is fine." ”

Nan Shen nodded and said, "It's cold outside, let's go into the inner room and talk." ”

So the group walked bustling to the Rongjin Hall where the old princess lived.

The three sons of Zhennan Wangfu are six or seven points like the old prince, but the king of Zhennan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the martial arts are physical, and the skin is wheat-colored, so he has more of the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier, and the second lord Nannuma is on the road of Wenchen, with red lips and white teeth, and is more elegant. In other words, the three sons of the Nan family were all dignified and good-looking when they were young.

"The son brings the wife, and the child greets the mother and concubine." Nannuma took his wife and children to give the old lady a formal greeting ceremony, and gave a family salute to the king of Zhennan. Then Mama Jin guided the children and ladies to introduce them one by one.

Nan Shen said to Nan Nuan: "Second brother, let's have a simple meal at the mother's concubine tonight, how about we have a good time after the New Year?" ”

Nannuma nodded in agreement: "Everything is arranged by the eldest brother, and the younger brother wants to consult the eldest brother if he has something." "In that case, let's go to the study with my brother!" After saying goodbye, the two brothers went to the study.

The old princess asked Concubine Jiang: "Like smoke, there are many things to do during the New Year, and the old man asked you to help arrange the residence of their mother and son before the old body, but now it can be arranged?" ”

Jiang got up and replied, "Back to the old lady's words, it has been arranged. We live in the east courtyard of the palace, and the second master and his party live in the west courtyard of the palace. Young Master Mao lives in the North Courtyard like our prince and the third young master. ”

The Zhennan Wang family lives in the east courtyard of the palace, occupying more than half of the area of the palace, and the regulations of the west courtyard of the palace and the east courtyard of the palace are similar, but they are smaller. The main courtyard where the master lives, the women's residence in the backyard, the study, and the lower room are all complete; The north courtyard is the residence of the young masters of the palace, and the smaller one is the south courtyard, which used to be the residence of the three masters of Nanyue, but now it is uninhabited and used as a guest residence.

Nan Marsh has a pair of children, Nan Lingmao is fifteen years old, Nan Lingxuan is fourteen years old, a concubine Nan Lingqing is ten years old, and her biological mother is a concubine Li, who has been dead for ten years, so this concubine Nan Lingqing has been raised under Zhao's knees since she was a child.

The second lord Nan Marsh lives in the main courtyard of the west courtyard of the palace, the place where the Zhao family lives is called Hanxiangyuan, Nanling Xuan lives in Lingxue Ju, and Nanling Qing lives in Jiangyun Pavilion. Nanling Mao lives in the north courtyard of the palace like the young master in the palace, called Wangsongxuan, located on the left side of Xiao Jian Lingxuan of the Nanling of the prince, and the south side of the north courtyard is the washing inkstone of Nanlingce, the concubine of the palace. In addition to the study, there is also a small martial arts arena in the north courtyard, which is suitable for young masters to practice martial arts.

The old princess nodded and said, "Second daughter-in-law, are you enough for the housekeepers and grandmothers around you?" If it is not enough to notify the tooth line to pick some tomorrow, it is now the New Year, and the manpower should be ready, there are many things in Beijing, and many families will add manpower at this time, but I am afraid that there are not many good girls, if you are not used to it, pick two to deal with it first, and then pick a good one after the New Year's Festival. ”

Zhao said with a smile: "The mother concubine is bothered, why is it so troublesome, the daughter-in-law asked the children to be accompanied by people who are waiting for her, and symbolically add two more." Zhao took a group of people down to sort out the settlement.

Hanxiang Garden

"Mother, no wonder you always say how prosperous Beijing is, this Zhennan Wangfu is compared with my grandfather's mansion, and it is really even more magnificent." Nan Lingxuan exclaimed, "Don't talk about the county lord's sister, even the girls around Cousin Mei are dressed up in an unusually magnificent manner." Sure enough, it is different from ours in Tanzhou. ”

"This is natural, this is the palace, and there are few in Beijing that are more magnificent than ours." Zhao sighed, "It's a pity that you are only the daughter of the governor of the second rank, if you were born in the belly of the princess, you would also be a county lord." ”

"Mother," Nan Lingxuan snuggled in Zhao's arms, she knew that Zhao's deepest regret was that she did not marry Nanshen, the king of Zhennan, who was still the prince at the time, but married Nan Nuan, the second son, otherwise her daughter would not be just a young lady from the second rank governor.

"Xuan'er, you heard my mother say that the son of the world is not good now, and he can't marry a wife like this, maybe......

You and your brother must fight! Zhao instructed in a low voice, "Although your sister is not bad, and she seems to be smarter than the concubine in the long house, but in the end she is not born to her mother, and the only people that your mother can count on are you and your eldest brother." ”

Nan Lingxuan nodded: "Xuan'er understands that Xuan'er has not been filial to her grandmother for so many years, and Xuan'er will honor her grandmother well." ”

Seeing that his daughter was thorough, Zhao relieved himself and continued: "The famous academy in Beijing is Yunlu Academy, which has a special women's academy. Your third uncle's lobby sister is also studying there, and when spring begins, you can go there with a few of your cousins to study. We have always had women as officials in the Great Yan Kingdom, and if you can enter the cabinet through the autumn season, your future will be just around the corner. ”

"Into the Cabinet?" Nan Lingxuan asked, "Mother, do you mean to be like the Peerless Queen?" ”

Zhao nodded and said, "Before Empress Wushuang married the current saint, she worked as a female teacher for two years, and then she also participated in politics as Princess Ping. Zhao paused and said, "Over the years, my mother has never relaxed the news of Jingli. Now His Royal Highness King Li has not set up a concubine, and the prince of Anguo and the prince of Huainan are also unmarried...... These are your choices for the future! As long as you are good enough, it is good to be able to enter the palace. ”

When Nan Marsh served as the governor of Hunan, Nan Lingmao went to school in the academy in Tanzhou, Tanzhou is not like the capital, and there is a women's academy in the academy, so the two daughters Zhao Mingzhen also invited a female gentleman to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting separately in the house. In particular, Nanlingxuan also has the nickname of "the first talented woman" in Tanzhou, and is especially good at danqing and piano skills.

Huai'an Hou is a Wenchen family, and the old Huai'an Hou Zhao Xitong has no ambition, so he has kept his title for decades, without mistakes or merits. However, the later Huai'an Hou Shizi is the current Huai'an Hou Zhao Mingzhang has quite his own ideas, in terms of water control, he has been on the fold, it is very much the favor of the first emperor, first promised him the position of the Ministry of Works, the new emperor ascended the throne, once the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was implicated in the failure of the five princes Jin Wang to seize the heir was beheaded, and the family members were exiled to the border, this Zhao Mingzhang was forty-two years old and became the youngest Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, becoming the youngest of the six Shangshu.

However, if you are proud in your career, your love scene is not satisfactory. Zhao Mingzhang is now forty-five years old, and there is only one young daughter under his knees, Zhao Pinru, who is now twelve years old, one year younger than Nan Lingxuan, once had a son and a daughter, all of whom were killed by an epidemic. The old marquis was also in great health due to the epidemic, so he wrote to the first emperor and asked his eldest son Zhao Mingzhang to inherit the title. And Zhao Mingqi, the second son of the old marquis, was the vice president of Yunlu Academy, and one of his two daughters married the second son of King Zhennan, and the other married the younger brother of the eldest princess Huimin, but due to dystocia, one corpse and two lives, he has also been dead for fifteen years.

Nan Lingxuan took her maid Xinyou back to her residence to Lingxueju, and said to Xinyou: "I will definitely meet with my brothers and sisters at the next reception banquet, we don't need to worry about the gifts from my brother's side, but the things for a few sisters and sisters are ready?" ”

"Miss, it's ready," Xinyou said as he took out the Hunan embroidered handkerchief and said, "This is a good Hunan embroidered handkerchief, but it is hard to find in Tanzhou." ”

"Don't call me eldest lady in the future, we are the second room, which is different from the third uncle's mansion, we are not separated, we have to be ranked according to seniority. In this way, according to age, I am the third miss, and Qing'er is the fifth miss. In the past, it was called in Tanzhou, but now it can no longer be called. This is the palace, you have to be careful. ”

"Yes, slave remembers."

The three-room Nanyue is a child born in the house, and the biological mother is humble and not very valued. So Nanyue began to train in the Zhennan Army at the age of ten, starting as a low-level soldier. Later, he was promoted all the way to the general of the Sipin Hussar, and after the first emperor ordered him to be transferred to the forbidden army, in order to avoid suspicion, Nanyue set up another mansion and separated it separately. Later, he was transferred to the patrol battalion and became the deputy commander of the patrol battalion from Sanpin. Therefore, the people in the palace called his child "Miss Fan and Young Master Wei on the Third Old Man's Mansion".

Nanmarsh will not be released this time, so this seniority is indispensable. Soon the royal palace reordered the ranking of grandchildren:

Young Master: Nanling Xiao, the son of the world, is the oldest, eighteen years old, Nan Lingmao is twenty-five years old, and Nan Lingce, the eldest concubine, is thirteen years old.

Miss is lined up here: Nanling Mei is sixteen years old, the eldest, the second miss Nanling Mo is fifteen years old, Nan Lingxuan is thirteen years old and Nanling Xiang is thirteen years old, but one was born in March and the other was born in May, so Nanling Xuan is three, Nanling Xiang is the fourth miss, and the youngest Nanling Qing is only ten years old, so she is naturally the fifth miss.
