Chapter 240: Reunion (Finale)
The next day is the first day of the first lunar month.
The new emperor ascended the throne, hundreds of officials congratulated, and sacrificed to the ancestors and the heavens and the earth.
On the same day, Lin Xirou was canonized as the queen and Li Yu as the crown prince.
Zhou Heihu, White Eucalyptus, and Ning Song, they also have their own rewards.
Zhou Heiniu was left in the palace as a palace guard.
The brothers were also given a large mansion and servants.
Fu Sanniang no longer bothered about being a noble woman, because she is now a noblewoman, and she is dedicated to pleasing her two sons at home.
Take care of their lives.
In the past, the brothers saw that she was very estranged.
Thinking that she has changed a lot recently, she can cook, do laundry, decorate the house, and she won't think about which man she runs away with all the time, and she has arranged their lives very thoroughly.
Like a woman who lives her life.
The brothers reluctantly accepted her.
Fu Sanniang was moved, "Oh, the eldest girl and the children have to be brought to the capital, and the family will be reunited." β
Zhou Heihu also thought of Tian Daya and the children, took leave to the yamen, and personally took someone to the village to pick up Tian Daya's mother and son.
When Rong returned to his hometown, all the people in the township came to Tianfeng Village to greet Zhou Heihu, and the Tian family also regarded him very much, and there was no need to elaborate on the banquet.
Fu Sanniang said that she wanted to arrange for Zhou Heiniu to find relatives, and said that she had a bad vision and had to ask Lin Xirou for help.
"She is the queen, and the queen is the matchmaker, who dares not to obey?"
She is a mess, but she is very accurate in seeing people.
Knowing that his reputation is not very good, he has a short time in the capital and a shallow foundation, so he is not favored by the people in the capital.
But her son has a good character.
couldn't delay his son because of himself, so he found Lin Xirou to help.
Lin Xirou also cherished Zhou Heiniu, and was very cautious in picking a family affair.
I am worried that the Gaomen family will look down on the Zhou family brothers, and the Gaomen family is troubled and careful, and the Zhou family is small, which is impossible to fight.
She avoided the eunuch's house and found the daughter of a businessman to give Zhou Heiniu as his wife.
Although he is a businessman, he is also the number one family in the capital.
This family also wants to make friends with powerful people, and when they heard that the Zhou family has some relationship with the new emperor, they are also very satisfied with their family affairs.
Fu Sanniang heard that she was looking for the daughter of a wealthy family, and she was quite satisfied with her good looks and tutoring.
She knew that she was from a bad background, so she was careful everywhere.
When it was time to move out of Lin Xirou to add glory to herself, she was never ambiguous, but as long as her side was at a loss, she would act cautiously immediately.
coaxed the woman's family so that she didn't dare to underestimate her, and got the glory she deserved.
Everyone was happy.
.
After settling down in the affairs of the harem, Lin Xirou began to arrange Tian Erya's marriage.
Tian Erya and Ning Song are good friends, and they are the big maids beside her, and their identities are not bad. The palace of Keningan County is not a good person to talk to.
I didn't say yes, but I didn't say I was against it.
Lin Xirou invited the princess of Ning'an County into the palace to speak, and when the princess of Ning'an County saw Tian Erya, she would also give gifts, but she only smiled politely and said nothing else.
Too polite and professional.
Because the princess of Ning'an County is the same for the unmarried women of other official families.
Tian Erya was very disappointed for a while.
Li Shen wanted to make a decree to give marriage, but he was afraid that it would backfire if Ning Song's grandmother, Princess Huiwen, was unhappy.
urged Lin Xirou to find a way.
Who knew that Lin Xirou saw everything in her eyes, but she was not in a hurry.
"What's the hurry? The man is anxious, so he will cherish the marriage, and he is reluctant to marry into the door, and the second girl will have bitter fruits to eat in the future, and he will see it. β
Li Shen thought about it and felt that she was reasonable, so he no longer paid attention to the marriage of Tian Erya and Ning Song.
Even if Ning Song was so anxious that he lost his hair, he was not in a hurry, and laughed at him for not being able to eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"What's yours is yours, it's useless if it's not yours, wait!" Li Shen sneered.
was so anxious that Ning Song wanted to kidnap Tian Erya and elope, but was scolded by Lin Xirou.
"You just want to be happy, have you ever thought about Erya's reputation? Dare to elope one? β
Ning Song was so frightened that he didn't dare to move this thought anymore.
.
On a warm day, Lin Xirou took Tian Erya to visit the capital in a carriage.
"What will my mother show me?" Tian Erya found that Lin Xirou didn't buy anything, nor did she get out of the car to go where to play, but only looked at pedestrians and shops.
Lin Xirou glanced at her, pointed to a very prosperous area in front of her and said, "That shop, I want to buy it, how about opening an embroidery village for you?" β
Tian Erya blinked, "I open an embroidery village?" Will there be a business? β
"Your embroidery skills are exquisite, better than the embroiderers in the palace, how can you not open it? Be bold and open it. Lin Xirou said with a smile.
She ordered the guards who drove the carriage to stop the carriage and took Tian Erya into the shop.
The shop is an intersectional arrangement, and the lot is at the intersection, and there are more pedestrians coming and going.
Moreover, there is a small pavilion on the side of the shop, which can be used by pedestrians to rest, so some resting pedestrians are invited to enter the shop to see the goods.
Lin Xirou found a person who looked like a guy and asked where the shopkeeper was.
And he found the proprietor from the treasurer.
As soon as she made a move, the price was naturally not low, and she paid 12,000 taels of goods and the monthly rent paid by the cloth store.
The owner saw that he was generous, and it was cash, so he sold the shop and the goods without saying a word.
The next day, Lin Xirou found white eucalyptus and instructed him to take someone to repair the shop.
In addition, Lin Xirou dialed two more grandmothers for Tian Erya, and selected eight maids with good embroidery skills to be her assistants.
Seven days later, the embroidery village officially opened.
Tian Erya has been learning embroidery since she was a child, and after following Lin Xirou, she has visited skilled embroiderers to learn embroidery.
After entering the capital, Lin Xirou was busy helping Li Shen deal with things, but she was not idle for a moment, studying embroidery.
When I entered the palace, I didn't miss any opportunity to learn from the embroidery girls in the palace.
After the opening of the embroidery village, Lin Xirou invited people to secretly cheer, and Tian Erya's reputation soon spread.
All of a sudden, the big families in the capital had to line up to get an appointment with her.
In addition to doing it herself, Tian Erya also teaches the people around her.
As soon as the business was busy, she only supervised it, except for a few good high-ranking families, the rest was done by her subordinates.
In less than half a year, the profit of the embroidery village has surpassed the original cloth line.
After another half a year, Tian Erya became the richest female shopkeeper in the capital.
Under Lin Xirou's arrangement, Tian Erya bought a large village and a large field outside the city, and also opened an embroidery village branch in the capital.
In the summer of this year, there was an envoy from the Northern Liang Kingdom to imitate it.
The one who received the envoy and his party was none other than the king of Ning'an.
Li Shen followed Lin Xirou's suggestion and sent a batch of embroidery exclusive to Zhao Guo to Beiliangguo as a return gift.
According to the will, the king of Ning'an ordered the embroidery girl in the palace to rush to make it.
The day before the gift-giving time, there was an accident, and a roll of cloth fell from the carriage, and when it slipped off, it was pierced by the tip of a broken bearing on the wheel of the carriage.
A hole was pierced in a roll of cloth, and when it was opened, the whole cloth was full of holes.
This roll of cloth is completely scrapped.
The king of Ning'an was anxious and angry.
I'm going to return the gift tomorrow, and now there's a volume missing, how to make a difference?
He wanted to kill those who accompanied him.
But people can be angry when they are killed, what about less cloth?
If you find the embroidery girl in the palace to do it, first, it is too late, and secondly, it will reach Li Shen's ears, and he will inevitably be punished.
Blame him for not even being able to read a few rolls of cloth.
At this moment, someone said to him, why don't you go to the embroidery girl of the blue needle spinning for help?
"Blue needle spinning? What is that place? "King Ning'an, who is not familiar with the embroidery in the boudoir, has never heard of this place.
Chang Sui smiled and said, "The prince doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, of course he doesn't know, but the princess must know that it is the most famous embroidery in the capital, specializing in embroidery work for high-ranking families." I heard that the craftsmanship is no worse than the embroidery girls in the palace. β
Because it was a woman's embroidery, it was inconvenient for the king of Ning'an to go to see the embroidery shopkeeper, so he went to ask his princess for help.
The princess of Ning'an County thought that the embroidery matter would not be done well, but she would be blamed by the emperor, and she would have to lose the face of Zhao Guo, which was a major event related to the friendship between the two countries.
Even if it was a small embroidery shopkeeper, the princess of Ning'an County had to go in person.
She was dressed in casual clothes, and took her grandmother and girl to the embroidery village.
Everyone saw that they were extraordinary, and they sent a post from the palace of Ning'an County, and immediately went to the back hall to send a message to Tian Erya.
Tian Erya was stunned when she heard this, the palace of Ning'an County?
There is his own embroidery girl in the county king's mansion, and he has never been to her embroidery village to order embroidery work, why did he come to her here today?
When she heard that there were two women dressed as housekeepers and a maid, she did not think anything else, but followed the maid to the front hall to meet the guests.
But to Tian Erya's surprise, it was the princess of Ning'an County who came.
The princess of Ning'an County didn't expect that the owner of the blue needle spinning was actually Tian Erya.
For a while, Princess Ning'an looked embarrassed.
It's not going to go, it's not going to go.
Fortunately, the grandmother beside her broke the deadlock, and said, "Miss Tian, we came to you to ask you, can you embroider this kind of ornament?" β
She took a piece of cloth cut from the tribute cloth from her sleeve and handed it to Tian Erya.
The roll of cloth is a hole every half a foot, and it can only be used as a handkerchief or wrapping leftovers, and it cannot be made into ready-to-wear.
Tian Erya nodded, "I have some embroidery on hand, and it's almost finished, you see if it's feasible." β
Her roll of cloth was sent by Lin Xirou, and she was asked to embroider such a pattern, which is in the final stage today.
The grandmother was overjoyed, "Oh? Can you show us? β
"Yes." Tian Erya nodded to the maid beside her, "Tell Mother Qiu and ask her to bring the roll of cloth that is being ironed." β
The maid turned and went to the back hall, and after a while, the maid and another embroiderer came carrying a roll of cloth.
Princess Ning'an County saw the cloth of the same material and the same pattern, and her eyes were straight.
"Miss Tian, who entrusted you to embroider this roll of cloth?"
Tian Erya thought of Lin Xirou's entrustment, if someone asked, no matter who it was, she couldn't tell her, only said it was her own.
"I embroidered it for my eldest sister, her birthday is approaching, and I plan to make her a gift." Tian Erya made an excuse and said.
Princess Ning'an County's expression was slightly relaxed, and she smiled slightly, "This roll of cloth, you can make a price, I want it." β
Tian Erya smiled and said, "If the princess wants it, just take it, and I'll give another gift to my eldest sister." β
If Tian Erya opens a high price, the princess of Ning'an County will not be counted, and will give it according to the price.
But now that Tian Erya is given away for nothing, it will make the Ning'an County Mansion owe Tian Erya a lot of favors.
The princess of Ning'an County was embarrassed for a while.
She had to say, "How's that going to work?" You also need to open this embroidery village, you just have to make a price. β
But Tian Erya refused to make a bid, "The princess insisted on giving the money, so I had to take it back." β
She raised her hand and motioned for the maids to take the fabric.
At this moment, the princess of Ning'an County panicked.
It was almost evening, and the cloth would have to be delivered to the messenger early to-morrow morning.
How can I find time for someone else to help?
"Wait!" Princess Ning'an County was cross-hearted, so she had to laugh and say, "You kid, you are really sincere, then okay, I'll take it." β
Tian Erya smiled slightly, "The princess gave me a gift last time, how can I accept the princess's money?" β
She nodded to the maids and ordered them to wrap the fabric raw.
In this way, Princess Ning'an got a cloth with a pattern.
King Ning'an saw that the identical fabric had been found so quickly, and asked the reason in surprise.
The princess of Ning'an County told the truth.
"It's really impressive, I can't imagine that the country girl that the queen brought from Shangzhou Mansion still has such skills."
"Stop! What a country in the country, that's the queen's former sister! β
The princess of Ning'an County said, "The queen is an official woman, a medical woman in the palace, can the daughter of the Tian family compare with the queen?" β
King Ning'an pointed to the cloth and said, "If she hadn't given you this cloth, our whole family would be in trouble tomorrow." You still say a word about a country girl? Don't be afraid of people laughing at you, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! β
Princess Ning Wangjun was dumbfounded for a while.
In fact, she also admires Tian Erya in her heart.
In addition to his bad background, he is also smart and good-looking, and he is not proud of his relationship with the queen.
However, in a year or two, he actually opened the largest embroidery village in the capital, and also bought Zhuangzi and fertile land outside the city.
is actually better than her son Ning Song.
It's just that she once looked down on Tian Erya and told her to bow her head at this time, but she couldn't pull her face.
-
The next day, the king of Ning'an put the cloth into the return gift of the Beiliang envoy.
The other party was quite happy to see such a fine cloth, and praised Zhao Guo's valuable gift.
The ministers departed satisfied.
-
Three months later, Bei Liangguo sent a letter of state, expressing his appreciation and gratitude to Zhao Guo for returning the gift.
The letter of state said that he wanted to exchange embroidery skills with Zhao Guo.
They were willing to teach Zhao Guo the technique of making tapestry wool blankets, and also hoped that Zhao Guo would teach them embroidery and weaving.
Li Shen agreed, and also drew up a list of some embroiderers and craftsmen.
Among them, the embroidery girl has the name of Tian Erya.
When Ning Song found out, he was shocked and asked Li Shen to intercede and let Tian Erya go.
Li Shen frowned, "The blue needle spinning was personally named by the lady of the Beiliang Kingdom, and I can't change it." β
Lin Xirou pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Ning Song, what are you anxious about, the embroidery girl sent is an unmarried girl who has nothing to worry about, if the second girl gets married, won't she have to go?" β
Ning Song frowned, "How can she get married for a while......
"Idiot! How can she get married, and she still wants to teach? Get lost! Li Shen kicked Ning Song in disgust.
Li Yu, who was on the side, also shook his head, "Stupid stupid!" Stupid cousin! β
"At the beginning, Erya sent a piece of fabric to your mother, so that your family avoided a disaster, and she was kind to your family. Now that she is in trouble, does your family want to see death or not save her? The palace of Ning'an County is so ruthless! Lin Xirou shook her head.
Ning Song rubbed his legs and opened his eyes wide, "I understand!" β
His heart suddenly brightened, and he rushed home.
The king and his wife of Ning'an County also heard that Tian Erya was selected as the embroidery girl who went to Beiliang.
thought that if Tian Erya hadn't come to the rescue, Bei Liangguo would not have known the name of Lan Needle Spinning.
The two of them felt a little sorry for Tian Erya in their hearts.
At this time, Ning Song came.
"If she hadn't rescued her at the beginning, how could my father and mother have the leisure to sit here and chat?" Ning Song said unceremoniously.
King Ning'an looked embarrassed, "We also feel sorry for her, it's not like there is no way to help her." β
"She's married, can't she go? The embroidery girl who went asked for an unmarried girl who must not have a family, as long as she got married, how to go? Ning Song said coldly.
"Marry? Who does she marry? Princess Ning'an didn't react for a while, and asked in a daze.
"Marry me, marry me! You won't cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't you want to help her? I'm not afraid that the people of the capital will laugh at you! Ning Song sneered, "Besides, her money is no less than ours now, and your son can still eat soft rice if I marry her!" If you don't agree, I'll beat her up, and I'll marry her to the grandson of Boyang Hou!" People will thank me for giving me a great gift. β
The Marquis of Boyang and the King of Ning'an County were rivals, and they pursued a girl at the same time, but the girl died early, and neither of them married.
But the king of Ning'an County always thought that it was the Marquis of Boyang who harassed the girl and made the girl angry, so he would continue to linger on the sickbed and die early.
After several decades, the king of Ning'an and the marquis of Boyang still do not deal with each other.
Hearing that the youngest son Ning Song said that he was going to give Tian Erya to the grandson of Boyang Hou, Wang Mao of Ning'an County was angry.
"No! No one can send Tian girl! It's too cheap, Boyang Hou, that old thief! The eighth grandson of his family is as fat as a pig and younger than Miss Tian, where is he worthy of Miss Tian? β
"Then she deserves me, right?" Ning Song flicked his sleeves, "With me or with Boyang Hou's grandson, choose one of the two, Dad, you can do it." β
The king of Ning'an looked at the princess, "Princess, you say, the Marquis of Boyang and us are mortal enemies, I always look at you and I don't like it, and I always want to step on us, do you want to give such a rich and capable embroidery shopkeeper to his family?" If his family is more developed, he can't step on you and me even more? Are you willing to dress up as richer than you? β
The princess of Ning'an County stared wide-eyed, and she didn't want to die!
The princess of Ning'an County, who wants to die more decently than others, said without thinking, "Marquis Boyang is just a sect commander, why dare you step on our family?" Miss Tian can't marry his family! Can't afford to be cheaper at home! β
"Mother, I think it, not only his family is not worthy of marrying, but other families are not worthy, Miss Tian's dowry is too much, whoever she marries will be glorious and will step on you, I think, it's better for me to marry, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, if you want glory, you can only make your mother glorious, and you can't cheap the lady of Beppu!" Ning Song saw that his parents' expressions moved slightly, and took the opportunity to say again.
Thinking that Tian Erya's dowry might be cheap for those sworn enemies in the capital, the princess of Ning'an County had no choice but to say, "Then so be it, our family reluctantly married Miss Tian, who told her to be kind to our family?" Song'er is right, we can't be ungrateful. β
Ning Song knew that his mother said this just to save face, but he had already agreed in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Understand, my son will arrange to go." β
.
Ning Song begged to marry Tian Erya, and Tian Erya's name Tian Lanyu was successfully removed from the list of embroiderers who went to Beiliang.
Li Shen and Lin Xirou glanced at each other and smiled at each other.
Three months later, Ning Song and Tian Erya got married.
In order to show off, the king of Ning'an County asked Li Shen to marry and asked the Marquis of Boyang to be the officiant.
Yang Bohou was jealous in his heart, but because it was Li Shen's marriage, he had to arrange it thoughtfully, and he had to accompany the smiling face throughout the whole process.
can make the two kings of Ning'an County proud.
The heart said that this family affair was really worth marrying.
.
Year again.
Lin Xirou is pregnant with another child.
When she was about to give birth, Lin Xirou reminded Li Shen's people that Li Shen must not be allowed to stand under the peach tree, poplar tree, laurel tree, or persimmon tree.
The palace people were puzzled and asked her why.
Why?
Lin Xirou's face was dark, because Li Shen's name was too arbitrary.
She didn't want her daughter's name to be Li Tao, Li Yang, Li Gui or Li Persimmon.
Later, when Lin Xirou gave birth, she didn't forget to ask the people around her which trees Li Shen went under today to pass by.
The palace people reported, "The emperor is looking at a tree called horsetail sent by Zhen'an Mansion. β
Lin Xirou was very depressed, it was bad, the child she gave birth to would not be called Li Ma or Li Wei, right?
If it's a male baby, it can still be used, but if it's a female baby......
Li Shen dared to use these two names, she dared to kill the monarch and let her son ascend the throne ahead of schedule!
In anxiety, Lin Shenrou gave birth to a daughter.
Li Shen named him Li Lan.
The name is not good or bad, it is acceptable.
Lin Xirou asked Li Shen why he was named.
"When I walked to the door of your palace and saw the magnolia tree blooming, I thought, if you have a daughter, you will be called an orchid, and if you have a son, you will be called a tree."
Lin Xirou looked at the top of the tent speechlessly, thanking God for letting her have a daughter, she didn't like the name Li Shu.
