Chapter 310: Wealth from the Sky
Chapter 310 Wealth from the sky
The palace issued a holy decree, even Xun Qingran had to go to the front hall to receive the decree.
When Xun Qing dyed and changed her makeup and arrived at the main hall, the Qi family was almost all together. The main gate of Qi Mansion was wide open all the way from the gate to the main hall, and there were stewards riding fast horses to deliver news. The eldest master and the second master of the Qi family were both standing at the foot of the steps outside the hall, their faces anxious, not knowing whether it would be a blessing or a curse to come.
It is said that the eunuch who delivered the decree has already arrived at the archway.
"Second sister-in-law, do you know what's going on?" Xun Qingran asked Second Grandma Qi in a low voice.
"There was only a little father-in-law who delivered the message, and he only said that he had a will, but he didn't know the inside story." Grandma Qi said.
"Our family has been fine lately, and at this time, I will make an order, Xu Yes...... It has something to do with the mother. The eldest lady also looked out the door anxiously.
Something to do with Concubine Xian? No wonder everyone is so nervous, after all, the palace is unpredictable, and it is not something they can control. However, if it comes, it will be safe, and no matter how troubled it is at this time, it is useless. Xun Qingran walked to Rong's side, stretched out his hand to support Rong's, and stood beside Rong's.
Rong was also a little apprehensive in his heart, seeing Xun Qingran's calm attitude, he praised it in his heart, and nodded at Xun Qingran.
There was a steward who ran in from outside, and when he came to the eldest and second masters, he replied that the father-in-law who had announced the decree had arrived at the bottom of the archway.
The eldest master, the second master, Qi Xiu, Qi Ru, and Qi You brothers were busy dressing up and went out to greet them.
The ladies in the hall were also busy standing behind Rong's.
After a while, the eldest lord and others welcomed the father-in-law who announced the decree to the hall, everyone in the Qi Mansion knelt down, and the eunuch who announced the decree began to read the decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor to summon him...... Concubine Xian has a ...... of pregnancy."
The eunuch finished reciting it with a sharp voice, and the eldest lord got up from the ground, bowed down to take the holy decree, and enshrined it on the table in the main hall. The eunuch swept away the seriousness when he read the holy decree just now, showed a smile, and stretched out his hand to help Rong up.
"Congratulations to the old woman, congratulations to the two old men." The eunuch said with a smile. The little eunuch who had already followed brought in all kinds of rewards, and for a time the hall was full of jewels and dazzling.
The Rong family invited the eunuch who issued the decree to sit down and drink tea and talk, and the eldest and second masters accompanied the prime minister to greet each other. The rest of the Qi Mansion also got up from the ground, and the anxiety of Fang Cai had now turned into joy.
The virtuous concubine is pregnant, and the emperor decreed that the concubine be crowned, and it is even more rewarding everyone in the Qi family. In addition to the gold and jade made inside, and all kinds of rulers, the eldest master of the Qi family is the general who has entered the three-rank protector of the country, and the second master is the third-grade Taichang Siqing.
This wealth from heaven makes people not overjoyed
“…… The palace has not heard the cry of a baby for several years, and the mother is now pregnant, and the queen mother and the long live lord are all happy. As soon as he was diagnosed by the imperial doctor, Long Live Lord personally drafted the holy decree. Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the two old men, hahaha. ”
"It's all the grace of the Long Live Lord, and the Qi family is grateful." Yung Road.
The eunuch's eyes turned in front of everyone, and he snorted again, "When our family came out of the palace, Niangniang specially sent someone to ask our family to give a message to the house, Niangniang misses her mother's family very much." Long live the Lord also instructed that Niangniang is now happy, and let the people in the house hurry into the palace to appease Niangniang. ”
"I'm going to the palace to thank me and say hello to my mother." Rong laughed.
The eunuch spoke once, ate tea, and said that he would go back to give the decree, and he could not stay for a long time. Here, the eldest master of the Qi family had someone send a tray covered with red silk. The eunuch only glanced at it, and after a little excuse, he let the little eunuch who followed take it.
The eunuch who sent the edict out here, and the Qi Mansion became lively. The eldest lord led people to open the ancestral hall again, enshrined the holy decree into it, and then prepared chariots and horses to enter the palace to thank him.
"You took the car and went to the family temple to pick up your mother." Rong sat in the hall, thought for a while, and then commanded Qi Yi.
Qi Yi hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out, and went to the family temple to pick up the second lady Qi.
Everyone accompanied the Rong family back to Yinian House and rested for a while.
"Niangniang has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has been the master of the first palace, hey, there was no such idea originally, who would have expected that it was really blessed by the ancestors, and Niangniang was blessed." The eldest lady sighed.
Second Grandma Qi pursed her lips and secretly winked at Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran smiled, not good to say anything. What the eldest lady said was very reasonable, but it was too direct. Concubine Xian entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and now she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old. For so many years, she has come out of nothing, and everyone in the Qi Mansion has long since ceased to have any expectations, so she has to sigh secretly. Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant at such an "advanced age", it is no wonder that everyone in the house said that it was an unexpected joy.
"In the future, I will have three incense sticks a day, ask the Buddha to bless the mother, and become a man in one fell swoop." The eldest lady recited the Buddha's words.
Now she is just pregnant, she has become a concubine from the virtuous concubine, above the other three palaces in the palace, and her mother's father and uncle have also been promoted. The eldest lady calculated in her heart that if the emperor was gracious and rewarded the hat of the grandfather of the country again, then she would be a dignified duchess of the country.
The eldest lady couldn't help but laugh.
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Xun Qingran looked coldly at the look of everyone in the room who was full of ambition, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The fifth master took the second wife back." The little girl outside came in to report.
Rong nodded, his face calm.
"Let her in." Rong commanded.
Second Grandma Qi stepped out to greet Second Lady Qi, looked up at Rong's face, rolled her eyes, and withdrew her legs. Xun Qingran and Big * Milk glanced at each other and didn't move.
Second Lady Qi was helped by Qi Yi to come in from the outside, and after a short pause at the door, she stepped forward and knelt down in front of Rong's.
"Old lady, daughter-in-law greets the old lady." Second Lady Qi said.
Second Mrs. Qi lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, wearing a half-worn satin dress, with a little grease powder on her face, and only a few hairpin rings were simply inserted in her hair bun.
"Lift your mother up." Rong smiled and ordered Qi Yi.
Seeing Rong's smile, Second Grandma Qi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Second Lady Qi up with Qi Yi.
"Let's go and change our clothes, let's go into the palace together." Rong looked Second Lady Qi up and down and commanded.
"Yes, old lady." Second Lady Qi replied obediently.
…………
Rong took the eldest lady and the second lady Qi into the palace to thank him. All the men of the Qi family who have titles also followed the eldest and second masters to the imperial study, handed over the fold of thanks, and waited for the emperor to summon them.
It wasn't until the time of the palm lamp that the Rong family and others returned to Qi Mansion, and it was very lively again.
"Niangniang is more and more detached than before, Niangniang's face, this child must be a prince." I don't know which one was the first to say this, and in an instant, the whole whole house decided to do it.
"Wealth can come so easily, I can't complain that the ancients wrote poems, saying that they don't regenerate men and women." Malt said to Xun Qing.
"It looks easy from the outside, who knows how Niangniang survived in the palace for more than ten years." Xun Qingran said lightly.
"That's right." After Xun Qingran said this, Malt thought of what she had seen and experienced herself, and nodded her head.
"The second wife is so obedient, and the maid still thinks that the second wife will take advantage of this opportunity to take care of it." Kikyo laughed.
"Who's in charge, the old lady?" Xun Qingran sneered, "How can the old lady be able to handle it." My wife has been in this house for all these years, and she still understands this truth. ”
………………
For a few days in a row, the Qi Mansion was full of guests, and the masters and servants in the Qi Mansion were all different from when the virtuous concubine was crowned a concubine, and they were all a little more reserved. Those who come are more low-key. The subtleties of this are somewhat intriguing.
Xun Qingran saw it in his eyes, and he had some scheming in his heart. Although the current emperor has several sons, he does not favor any one, and he has never set up a prince. The emperor is in the prime of life, and now that the virtuous concubine is pregnant, he has to act like this, and there must be a private calculation, guessing that the emperor wants to set up a young son.
In the next few days, the second lady of Qi took a sedan chair into the palace every day, and she went for half a day, talking with the virtuous concubine, and receiving food from the palace before coming back.
On this day, Second Lady Qi came back from the palace again, Xun Qingran, Qi Da * Milk, and Second Grandma Qi all came to the New Year's Hall to greet her, and Zheng Haoer was talking with Second Lady Qi.
“…… It's a lot of joy. Niangniang has had a light diet since she was a child, never ate sour, but now every meal is inseparable from sour, and those delicacies and seas in the palace do not like to eat, but prefer the pickled side dishes at our home. Second Lady Qi smiled and said about the virtuous concubine.
"Niangniang has been different from others since she was a child, and now she is so trouble-free." Second Grandma Qi said with a smile, "The second master was talking to me yesterday, saying that there is naturally everything in the palace, so we don't have to worry about it." It's just that the woman's family is pregnant, but it's different from usual, what the mother wants to eat and use, it's not good to let the palace buy it, just tell the mother's family that he has no other ability, and everything from heaven to earth can be exchanged. ”
Second Mrs. Qi smiled, and asked the eldest * grandmother about Qi Ru and Brother Zhang, and the eldest * grandmother answered them one by one. Second Lady Qi turned her head to look at Xun Qingran again.
"You should have a good baby, don't walk around, if something happens, who will take care of it?" Second Mrs. Qi said to Xun Qing.
"I came to see my wife, and I didn't go anywhere else." Xun Qing smiled.
Second Mrs. Qi wanted to say something more, but Second Grandma Qi stole the topic.
"The wife went to the palace, and the eldest * grandmother of the Xu family, the servant of the ministry, came to see me, and asked about the fifth brother, the fourth girl of the Xu family is already in her prime, saying that her appearance and temperament are all bad, and she wants to be close to the fifth brother." Second Grandma Qi said with a smile.
"The girl of their family is okay. Yi'er is still young, but she is not in a hurry about this, let's find it slowly. Second Mrs. Qi said, "I have to choose Yi'er's daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter if she is from a family background, as long as that girl is knowledgeable, the most important thing is to be sincere and filial." ”
Second Lady Qi accentuated her tone on the word filial piety, and her eyes fell on Xun Qing's face lightly.
Xun Qingran slowly shook the sandalwood fan, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"That's exactly what Madame said." Grandma Qi said.
"Niangniang, I've already seen a few in my heart." Second Mrs. Qi was proud in her heart and couldn't help but reveal.
Recently out of the house, there is no guarantee of updates. Tentatively scheduled for alternate day changes. Weak face assures, after coming back, a lot of more, I hope you continue to support...
