Chapter 1: The first day of the lunar month

"There is no impermeable wall in the world", although because Ruan Qiniang arrived in time and involved the four girls of Shun'an Bo Mansion, Princess Ke immediately blocked the small garden where the accident occurred, in an attempt to minimize the impact of the accident.

But there were other noble ladies present at that time, and they were all frightened by the scene at that time, and naturally went to their respective mothers or grandmothers to seek comfort, and the matter spread in a small area.

Coupled with the instigation of the people behind the scenes, when Su Su learned that Ruan Shi Niang's mother and son were safe, the "Chrysanthemum Blood Case" had become a gossip topic for people in the capital to chat about after dinner.

Why did King Ke's mansion and the concubines who were about to give birth wander around the small garden? Is the concubine of Shun Anbo Mansion wronged? What is the true face of Princess Ke? Are the Ruan sisters really sisterly?

All kinds of questions are comparable to modern hot searches, and all of a sudden, King Ke's Mansion, Shun'an Bo's Mansion, and even the Liguo Mansion have been pushed to the forefront, and even the nobles in the palace have heard of it.

Before King Ke had time to deal with the chaotic backyard and appease the Shun'an Mansion, he was so shocked by this series of gossip that he almost vomited blood.

Princess Ke was even more remorseful, and her intestines were blue.

The two of them didn't tear each other apart, and immediately entered the palace, King Ke went to the emperor, hugged his father's thigh and cried bitterly, crying that his heirs were thin, and finally had a second son, and he was harmed by others, and he was born a medicine jar. and then cried about his mother who died early, in short, he was very wronged.

And Princess Ke also cried in front of the Queen Mother, she was not unaggrieved in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it. After kowtowing to the Queen Mother and admitting his mistake, he said that he was ashamed to be the concubine of the palace, and he couldn't give birth to a concubine for King Ke, but he couldn't protect the backyard girl, so he asked the Queen Mother to give her a decree to allow her to leave.

These two are the fighting spirits of the play, and they have integrated disguise and performance into their whole lives, and after complaining about their grievances in the palace, they wiped their faces, and when they left the palace, they had a sad face hidden under a strong smile, which only made people happy in their hearts and gloated.

Only soon, the gloating joy and sorrow, and the miserable crying became the final winner!

The details are not known to outsiders, in short, the saints are investigating today, and the various means and processes are needless to say, and the world only looks at the results.

The eldest prince, King Jing, was declared by the saint because of a trivial matter, and was directly demoted from the prince to the county prince.

The Queen Mother issued a decree, and King Ke's Mansion had two more famous side concubines: one was a girl from Annanbo's Mansion, and the other was the fourth girl from Shun'anbo's Mansion. At the beginning of next year, it will be carried into King Ke's mansion.

It stands to reason that even if it is the royal side concubine, it is just a noble concubine, and the dowry is less than one-third of the time when marrying the main concubine, but the queen mother and the queen each rewarded two dowries to add makeup to the four girls of Song, which makes the four girls very long-faced.

After that, the Queen Mother also personally summoned several girls from the Song family and praised her "extraordinary appearance". The most noble people in the palace have said so, and where do others dare to judge the Song family girl again, and sarcastically "nouveau riche is born and doesn't understand the rules", this is the explanation that the guest king gave to the Song family.

The "Chrysanthemum Blood Case" came to an end in your circle, but Ruan Shi Niang, the biggest victim in the blood case, was intentionally forgotten by the superiors, and even the child's washing and full moon were just celebrated by the Ke Wangfu behind closed doors, and only the Queen Mother rewarded some things in the palace.

Fortunately, King Ke doesn't need the approval of the palace to promote a concubine to a concubine, otherwise I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Ruan Shi Niang.

The Chrysanthemum Bloody Case provided the people of the capital with a topic of conversation after tea and dinner for more than two months, until the Northwest War reported that the six Tatar princes were captured by Ha Miwei, and the Tatars sent an envoy to send a letter of state for the peace of mind, and they were about to enter Beijing with the sergeant who was entitled.

It was only then that people were left behind and turned to talk about the Tatar debate and how much credibility there was. He also talked about why Emperor Shengwu did not subdue the Tatars like the expeditions to Japan, Ryukyu, and Goryeo, and at this time it was only a little more than a month before the Chinese New Year.

For Su Su, it is not her turn to care about national affairs, and now she is busy packing up her dowry, because Hong Sheng is also among the sergeants who have been awarded this time. Su Su had only received a letter from Hong Sheng a few days earlier, saying that he was about to enter Beijing, but in just a few days, the Northwest Army and Tatar envoys were almost in the capital.

Hong Sheng returned to Beijing, and her wedding date with him should also be set.

On the first day of the lunar month, Su Su and Jin Yu Mantang set up a day to pick up the customized head and face jewelry, and on this day, the Northwest Sergeant escorted the six Tatar princes to the capital, accompanied by the Tatar tribal leaders who sent peace envoys.

Early in the morning, the main road from the city gate to the palace can be described as empty alleys, the people of the capital are very early to prepare to watch the six Tatar princes who have been captured alive, and prepare a lot of gifts to welcome him, including rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, etc., if there are some stones mixed with it, it is not unusual.

After all, there is a blood feud between the Tatars and the Great Chu, or since the previous dynasty, the two sides have been at war, mainly because the Tatars invaded the border of the Great Chu, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

With the national strength of the Chu State, it is completely possible to destroy the Tatars, but the emperors of the Chu State never seem to have this idea, and they would rather spend huge amounts of military pay to station a large number of troops on the border. This is also one of the questions that Su Su is puzzled about, after all, the founding emperor of Great Chu, the predecessor who traveled through the east and the west, likes to fight in the east and west, and Japan, Goryeo, and Ryukyu still respect Great Chu as the suzerain, and offer beauties and a large number of rare treasures every year.

Su Su just went through these things in her mind, and then she left them behind, she really didn't have any big ambitions, her previous goal was to be a loyal little maid, and now her goal is to be a safe and stable small landlord, and the sky will fall high first.

This year's winter is even colder than last year's, and although there hasn't been a single snow yet, the cold wind is howling, and it only hurts people's faces. Fortunately, when building Zhuangzi, Grandpa Qiao conveniently installed a fire kang and a fire wall in the main courtyard, otherwise it would be a big expense to burn charcoal. A few days ago, the old lady asked someone to send Su Su some things for the winter, which contained 100 catties of fine red Luo charcoal, and I heard that a basket of 20 catties of red Luo charcoal has risen to 10 taels of silver.

Su Su also got up early in the morning, afraid of catching up with the team escorting the six princes of Tatar, when the time came the city gate must be martial law, missed the process time, at least have to wait outside for more than half an hour, now the cold wind outside, that is, there is a charcoal pot hand stove in the carriage, and the accompanying people can't stand it.

She could have asked someone to take the deed to the golden and jade hall to get the jewelry back, but she had made an appointment with Ruan Qi Niang and Ruan Shi Niang to meet today, that is, she was outside to go under the knife, and Su Su also had to go, she still saw Ruan Shi Niang when the Qingfu County Lord was born by Princess Ke when the full moon.

Listening to Ruan Qi Niang, although Ruan Shi Niang gave birth to a son, but because the person above was disgusted with the Ruan family, since the child passed the full moon, their mother and son have become invisible people in King Ke's mansion, but fortunately, King Ke is secretly taking care of them.

But that didn't even have a serious name, only Ruan Siniang privately took a small name "big cat" The child was hit hard in the mother's womb, although he saved his life, but he was weak and sick, Ruan Siniang begged King Ke to breastfeed herself, for the sake of the child, she took medicine as a meal, only Ruan Qi Niang couldn't help but cry, hated Princess Ke to death, and even angered King Ke.

After Su Su learned the news, she rummaged through the memories of her past and present lives, but she still lost the incense recipe in her head, and finally let her know a strange fragrance - Yingchun. "Spring, when all things are vibrant, it is warm and cold; As for the purple sand jar, add ginseng, poria cocos and other medicinal materials soaked in cold spring water, seal it under the peach tree, and when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, take it out and serve warmly! ”

Spring incense, is one of the few in the memory of the brain used for internal use of incense, it is a health incense, after entering the human body, it will have a very magical effect with the blood, the so-called washing tendons and marrow, Su Su saw it before, I think it is simply a fantasy, but after the "dream" incident, Su Su has at least a trace of trust in the many unbelievable incense recipes in his mind, and now it is just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, in case it really works!

It's just that now it's winter, naturally there is no way to make "Yingchun", and this incense recipe is not an ordinary thing, as soon as she sees this incense recipe, Su Su has a feeling, maybe Aunt Su's family is no longer there, because of "the guilt of the guilt". So Su Su had to hand it over to Ruan Shi Niang and make it clear to her that she was rescuing the "big cat", but she didn't want to put herself and Ruan Liulang into it.

Su Su is wearing a camel hair thermal underwear, a small yellow jacket, a long jacket with a standing collar in purple lambskin on the Shu brocade face covered with a silver and red woven folded branch flower embroidered treasure vase, a gray squirrel skin skirt with a hundred flowers on an apricot yellow background and no floor pattern makeup satin, and a pair of delicate boots in the pearl fur of the big red deer skin on her feet.

Shui Mo handed Su Su a hand warmer of silver-red fox skin, and a palm-sized copper hand stove was stuffed in the middle. When he was dressed, Su Su felt that he had become a ball, and he would not be able to walk.

The four little maids are thick new cotton clothes and cotton pants inside, and the gray squirrel skin jacket that Su Su gave them extra rewards on the outside, wearing a hat with rabbit skin on their heads, and a fox skin scarf around their necks, Su Su couldn't help but think of a sentence in his previous life: "There is no buying and selling, no killing." When he got out of the house, the cold wind blew, and Su Su was very glad that there was no animal protection law in ancient times, otherwise a large number of people would have frozen to death.

Su Su is not a harsh "boss", just after autumn, the winter clothes in the Zhuangzi have been distributed, the thick cotton clothes are made of the cotton of ordinary people's two cotton clothes, one person has two sets, not to mention, and each person has a leather jacket.

The special class is fox skin, the first class is gray squirrel skin, the second class and the third class are rabbit skin, and the rough subordinate also has a dog skin, and it is drudgery to go out to catch a car in winter, and Su Su also rewarded a three-piece set of sheepskin - leather jacket, leather pants, and leather boots.

When Su Su went out, the sky was still not bright, there was no sun, the cold wind could be called biting, Su Su saw this weather, maybe it might snow today, quickly called the ink back to the main courtyard, and found a wolfskin mattress from the warehouse to the driver who drove the car.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that the charcoal basin had already been lit in the carriage and the snow-white fox scarf was taken off, that Su Su exhaled and grinned secretly, freezing to death!

The two corners in front of the carriage, one side lit a glass gas lamp, the coachman is a steady middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, knowing that he is in a hurry to take the safety of the master first, the carriage unhurriedly took a quarter of an hour slower than usual to the capital, at that time it was almost eight o'clock, the sky was already bright, and all kinds of small stalls and shops began to open their doors for business.

Su Su saw that it was still early, so he took someone to have breakfast first, and then came to Jinyu Mantang.

Su Suwei is like a bear, fortunately, no female dependents of any family have nothing to do, so they have to come to buy jewelry in such weather, otherwise they have to think that the bear on the top of the mountain has become a sperm and ran out. If Mrs. Zhen didn't know the four of them, she really didn't know who was coming.

Knowing that the distinguished guest who was waiting for the master had arrived, Mrs. Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, "The girl is here, our master is waiting for you upstairs!" Su Su nodded, glanced at the four little maids and said: "I want to see an old man, ask Mrs. Zhen to take you to open a private room, take the deed, you go to the jewelry customized for me that day, wait for me to pass, and count the wages." ”

The four of Fan Dai followed Su Su, and they had already learned the "silence" of one of the maid's survival skills, "don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said", and naturally nodded obediently.

Zhen Niangzi invited a maid to take Su Su upstairs, and she personally received the four fans, it was really Su Su's customized jewelry that was too precious, especially the few pieces that Su Su drew by herself, each of which was comparable to the treasure of the town store full of gold and jade.

Zhen Niangzi didn't dare to be as big-hearted as Su Su or that she was wealthy, so she handed it over to the people below to deal with at will.

In fact, Su Su is not big-hearted, let alone wealthy, but in her eyes, those things are precious, and where is the family affection between sisters.

The maid took Su Su to the outside of the box where she stayed last time and quietly went downstairs, Su Su reached out and knocked on the door three times, and soon Ruan Qiniang opened the door herself!

After entering the box, Su Su quickly took off her cloak, and the wall of fire was also used in the golden and jade hall.

Ruan Qiniang and Ruan Shi Niang only felt that their eyes lit up, and they looked at Su Su, who was just dressed in ordinary clothes, and their eyes were full of amazement.

Su Su combed a meniscus bun today, and the broken hair under it was tied into a few small braids with red silk threads, and a bead chain with colored tourmaline beads was wrapped around the bun a few times, but above the ears was a fox fur ball dyed pink, like a pair of fox ears, which looked playful and cute.

She wore a pair of butterfly earrings of watermelon tourmaline, and when she walked, the earrings did not move at all, which showed her dignified demeanor.
