Chapter 17: The Queen is Happy
After the burial of the Marquis of Jibei, many hangers returned to the Jiang family with the team for the last funeral banquet, and the aftermath finally came to an end here - the result of the revival of the teacher was that the entire capital was exhausted, and the Jiang family, as the main family, was even more exhausted, so tired that they didn't want to say a word.
So it was logical for Hejia to propose to take He Shuijin back to his parents' house to have a baby: "The house has just finished busy with major events, and Shuijin is pregnant, so I don't have to trouble you anymore!" There are people at home, but it is convenient to take care of her for a few days. ”
The murder of the heir in the womb of Heshui Jin was originally for a reason, and because of this, the eldest grandson died, and he was not guilty, but now he is looking forward to the safe birth of Heshuijin, so he readily agreed: "I was saying that the family is busy now, and I am tired enough from top to bottom, don't neglect this child!" ”
In addition to having a thrilling affair with Shui Jin and her mother, Qiu Yulan secretly observed and sweated, and no one else took it to heart.
It's not just that I don't know the inside story that Shui Jintou's child is gone, but it's also because Qin Guogong decided to take advantage of the fact that Jiang Tianchi was still with him and his sons who were alive to announce a big event-the establishment of the world!
In fact, it is a bit unworthy of the name to say that this matter is a big deal, because for a duke's family, the establishment of the prince is of course a big event. But after a hundred years of the Duke of Qin, who will the title pass to, this is really no surprise, it must be the eldest son!
It is true that the Qin State unsurprisingly invited Jiang Tianqi to be the prince, and the Empress Dowager Jiang and the emperor also unexpectedly made a promise......
What is more surprising is that the emperor's holy decree also mentions: "Two generations of Zhenbei generals have defended the northern frontier over the years, are loyal, and have worked hard...... After praising the Marquis of Jibei and Jiang Tianchi, he said that he would give favor to Jiang Tianli, the son of the Marquis of Jibei, so that he could attack the lord without surrendering; As for Jiang Tianchi, he was knighted.
Considering the order of the young and the old, of course, the title cannot be a duke, nor a marquis, but an earl.
Zhenbei Bo.
This knighthood is tantamount to acknowledging the Jiang family's control over northern Xinjiang.
"This is a matter for the ministers, and I dare not accept His Majesty's reward!" Jiang Tianchi did not hesitate to excuse himself - and then the holy decree was praised again, he resigned again, and the two monarchs and ministers tacitly finished the three edicts and three resignations, and Jiang Tianchi said in a loud voice, "I am ashamed to accept it, I dare not live up to Your Majesty", and reluctantly accepted the decree and accepted the knighthood.
Unlike Qin Guogong, who delayed until this moment to establish a prince, Jiang Tianchi asked for a prince the next day after he was knighted.
"The earl is too Meng Lang, it's only been a few days since he came back, and he has only been crowned an earl, so what will he do with the son?" In the afternoon, Mother Hu threw a few kumquat into the small incense burner to make a fresh fragrance, and complained softly to Mrs. Tao, "The eighth prince has been filial for the past two days, but in fact it is ......."
"What is Xiaoba's actual thing, you really don't know Dao Chi'er?" Old Madam Tao said lightly, "Are you stupid when you think he is?" He believed what Kyozato told him? Xiaoba's little thing, just send someone to ask in the place of the teahouse and restaurant in Beijing, you can listen to ten days and ten nights without repeating the same! This can be hidden from him until now, unless when he returns to Beijing this time, he falls off a horse on the road and breaks his brain! ”
Mother Hu sneered: "The old slave just thinks it's unfair to the nineteenth son!" How filial and sensible the nineteenth prince is, the title is given to the eighth prince, and the old slave is allowed to say a heart-wrenching word, which is really a waste! ”
"You are thinking on the side of Nineteen, so I think he is not wronged by the world." Mrs. Tao shook her head and said, "But from the perspective of being a parent, the first choice of the son of the world is the son-in-law, and the two sons-in-law are capable and the other is the one who is able to do it - the capable one can earn the title and find a way out by himself; The gentleman, you don't give him a knighthood, do you want him to quickly squander the family property that was given to him after his parents die, and then the family lives on his brothers, and looks at the faces of his brothers-in-law and nephews and nieces? ”
Mother Hu thought about it: "The nineteenth prince will take charge of the Zhenbei Army in the future, and he is not afraid that there will be no chance of being knighted!" ”
Old Madam Tao sneered: "The title is a lifelong glory for the courtiers, and it is also a holy decree for the heavenly family, plus the little money and food allocated every year!" What's so rare? That is, Chaohai is still there, and it is not good to be too eccentric to the four rooms. Otherwise, Tianluan can give nineteen knights now! ”
Back then, Qiu Feng was still born recklessly, didn't he also be made an earl?
"It's just ......" Mother Hu was taught a lesson by Mrs. Tao, and she spoke a little slurred.
"How?"
"The old slave always thinks that the earl is not as affectionate to the nineteenth prince as he is to the eighth prince!" Mother Hu hesitated, "Although it is said that the old slave has not seen the earl with the two sons many times, but ...... That's how it feels! ”
Old Madam Tao frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "Chi'er didn't grow up in front of me, and I'm not sure what he thinks in his heart." However, he has only three sons, and the only one he can count on is nineteen! No matter how much he favors Fa in his selfish heart, it is impossible for the Zhenbei Army not to hand it over to Nineteen anyway! ”
As long as the Zhenbei Army will finally be handed over to Jiang Yashuang, then the old lady Tao, who has pressed on this little grandson early, will not lose.
As for Jiang Tianchi's eccentricity, will it cause the division of the four-room family property to be unfavorable to Jiang Yashuang, Mrs. Tao's vision doesn't care at all: with great power in hand, what glory and wealth can't be obtained? Why bother staring at such a thing as the fourth room!
So the old lady was very calm, "So it's good to say that Xiaoba is not angry, otherwise Nineteen will really be wronged!" "Jiang Yadan is not only not close to her, but it can even be said that there is quite a gap, Mrs. Tao doesn't want him to overpower the Jiang Yashuang she supports!
After the prince of Zhenbei was established, Jiang Tianchi was also going back to northern Xinjiang.
After all, although he had already planned for the invasion of Beihu, and entrusted the back hand left behind to a credible person, he was the commander in chief. The goal of luring the snake out of the hole has been achieved, Jiang Tianchi wants to rush over to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and strive to achieve all the success in one fell swoop!
…… It was only at this time that Mrs. Zhuang arrived.
No one blames her, after all, she is a woman, and she can't be expected to gallop back day and night like Jiang Tianchi, right?
Not to mention that Jiang Tianchi took the first step and took all the good horses that could be used along the way, so that Mrs. Zhuang and her party didn't have to change horses at all! This also means that neither she nor the people escorting her can go fast, and once they are exhausted to death, then they will be miserable!
So Mrs. Zhuang entered the house with a disgraced face, and when Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Ou came to ask for peace and confession, the two old ladies expressed their understanding: "Such a long way, you are a woman, you only left a few months ago, and you will come back this time, it is simply a non-stop rush, and people are fine." We didn't wait for you if we didn't catch up with your uncle's funeral, after all, Tianchi can't delay much in Beijing, so it's no wonder you. Ming'er went to your uncle's grave to put incense on the pillar, and the intention will be done! ”
Jiang Tianchi said: "I'm going to leave tomorrow, the military situation is urgent, and I can't wait for you." And you just came, you can't leave again the next day, the elders are not good to explain and not say, and it is not good for your health. It's better to spend the New Year in Beijing, stay for a few months to recuperate, and then leave next year. ”
reminded, "After all, our daughter and son-in-law are still in Shazhou, so we dare not come back?" It's already the end of the year now, don't mention it this year, and send someone to send a letter to call them back at the beginning of next year, you can see for yourself - one of the two of us is in Beijing, even if the children are in trouble after they come back, they can protect a little, right? ”
Mrs. Zhuang replied: "In a blink of an eye, nineteen have become fathers, think about the situation of him and eighteen in infancy, as if it was just yesterday!" ”
The sons, daughters-in-law, and subordinates who were waiting on the left and right of the "......" didn't understand what they meant, but Jiang Tianchi couldn't help but smile bitterly, waved his head and sent them all away, before sighing and saying, "You are careful...... You don't want to think about your uncle before you go, according to the rules, we all have to serve a year of Qi decline, not to mention accepting people, and I have to ban even singing and dancing - you don't know how your uncle treated us when he was alive, I'm such a conscienceless person?! ”
"A year, huh?" Mrs. Zhuang thought for a while before nodding with satisfaction, "I will go to Northern Xinjiang before leaving filial piety, you can be honest with me!" Our youngest child is nineteen years old, what kind of mess do you have to think about, don't blame me for not finishing with you! ”
Jiang Tianchi also obeyed her, and she could remember not to let herself steal at any time, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Don't worry!" On the Beihu side, although it is said that they were ruthless this time, these barbarians have always been fierce, and it is not so easy to give them a lesson that they will never forget...... I am not sure how many things to be busy with when I return to the army this time, and if I can finish it before I go out of filial piety, it will be my uncle's blessing in the spirit of heaven! ”
It was only after saying that Mrs. Zhuang agreed to stay in Beijing for a few more months.
Jiang Tianchi thinks that this arrangement is a good thing for the children and grandchildren of his own room - how many years have passed, and the elders in the fourth room can be regarded as having support for them!
But I didn't know that this was good news for Jiang Yashuang's house, and it was a bolt from the blue for Jiang Yadan's backyard, especially for his children who had begun to be sensible!
Two days ago, he was led by his grandmother to visit his grandfather, and after seeing a grandmother like Mrs. Zhuang, who didn't even look at his granddaughter, Jiang Tianchi's grandfather was so kind, not only asked the names of his grandchildren one by one, gave them a meeting gift, and hugged a few small ones himself...... It's just that the backer finally came, but now the backer said that he wouldn't go, and he was "considerate" to persuade them to keep a fateful master down!
However, Chu Yitong and Zhu Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that my mother values her concubines and neglects her concubines, and our good days are coming!" ”
Hurriedly sent someone to inquire about Mrs. Zhuang's preferences, choose gifts, and please her mother-in-law with her heart.
On Qiu Yulan's side, although Mrs. Zhuang did not come back, she was doing well, but she was still full of enthusiasm to discuss with Qu's mother, Zhou's mother and others how to make her mother-in-law happy: "The eight-treasure duck I made last time, my mother seems to like it very much......
Only halfway through speaking, Shen Shui walked in and said overjoyedly: "Young lady! Good news, good news......"
"You brain!" Qu's mother opened her mouth and closed it, she had already scolded before Jiang Jinglang was poisoned, but that time she felt derelict in her duties, and she was entrusted by Mrs. Zhuang, and since then, she has felt shameless to put on a shelf again, and the rough maid is still a lesson, such as Shenshui, a close-fitting big girl, she will no longer talk much.
This will be Zhou's mother's displeased reprimand, "The old marquis just went, and the master of our room has just left Beijing, you will run in with a smile, and you are still full of good news, are you afraid that other rooms will not talk about our lack of rules, or are you afraid that they will not talk about our unfilial piety?!" ”
Shen Shui was embarrassed for a moment - in the end, Mother Zhou has always been good-tempered, not as scaring as Mother Qu, so she smiled a little, casually asked for guilt, and still slightly hooked her lips and said: "The queen mother is happy!" ”
