Lai Mansion, not far from Rongguo Mansion, has now become Xue Mansion.
Although Xue Pan is a very incompetent person, he is the only male head of the Xue family after all. He lives in the main courtyard on Fushang Middle Road, while Xue Baochai lives with Aunt Xue in the inner courtyard on West Road. They lived before.
There were several pear trees planted in the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, but in the West Road compound where I live now, although no pear trees were planted, there were two osmanthus trees, planted outside the windows of the east wing and west wing respectively.
On the morning of the eighth day of June, Xue Baochai walked out of the east wing of the room where she lived and came to the laurel tree outside the window. In the silence, she looked up at the tree crown above her head. As she looked at it, she couldn't help but sigh: "Alas!"
This laurel tree has not bloomed yet, but it will bloom on the eighth day of August.
And she had already learned the news that Jia Yun led the army to conquer the south of the Yangtze River. She thought that when the osmanthus tree outside her window was fragrant, it would be the time for her to marry Jia Yun, and she would leave here at that time.
, moved into Prince Wu's Mansion as the princess of the county. But now, their wedding was postponed due to a sudden war.
She was inevitably depressed, and more worried in her heart. The first thing she worried about was Jia Yun's personal safety. The battlefield was both a battlefield and a killing ground. She was afraid that he would die in Jiangnan. The second thing she worried about was that the war did not go well, which would lead to his death.
Therefore he was convicted.
Under the osmanthus tree, the beautiful woman is independent, with a worried look on her face. The beautiful woman is reserved, and her worried look is also reserved.
Aunt Xue was not at home and was summoned to Rongguo Mansion by Jia Mu. Ying'er knew that when Jia Mu summoned Aunt Xue this time, she would mention Jia Yun's expedition, so she went with Aunt Xue out of habit.
At this time, a servant came over: "Girl, Xiangling is here!"
Xue Baochai's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Please come in quickly."
Jia Yun always encouraged Xiangling to interact with Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. Because of this, Xiangling would come to Xue's house every month to visit Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, and Feng would usually accompany her, so that now even Feng is with Aunt Xue.
Xue Baochai got married.
Whenever Xiangling comes to visit, Xue Baochai will feel happy, not only because she likes Xiangling very much, but also because she can learn more about Jia Yun through Xiangling.
Xue Baochai was particularly happy when she heard that Xiangling had arrived. As Jia Yun had just left for the war, she was eager to learn more about relevant things through Xiangling. What's more, she knew that Xiangling had recently become Jia Yun's maid and also followed her there.
Chang'an served, and yesterday she was sent back to Shenjing because Jia Yun went on an expedition.
The fragrant Ling with beautiful face and lotus walked into the courtyard. Although there was no gold or silver on her body, she was wearing luxurious silk. Behind her was a rough servant girl.
Seeing this scene, Xue Baochai felt ripples in her heart, feeling that Yu Xiangling had not only matured and become more beautiful, but also looked more and more like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Xue Baochai knew that this was mainly due to Jia Yun. If Jia Yun had not left Xiangling, Xiangling would not have such a good life now. This is also Xiangling's good fortune.
Xue Baochai also knew that Xiangling's changes lay not only in her age, appearance, and material life, but also in her spiritual life and personality. After Xiangling followed Jia Yun, she was not only able to read and write, but also reunited with the Feng family and her daughter.
Both Bu Wuniang and Jia Yun liked her and loved her. Naturally, her spiritual life was much better than before, which also affected her personality, making her less melancholy and more cheerful.
This made Xue Baochai feel even more that it was Xiangling's good fortune when Jia Yun asked her to leave.
And Xiangling just went to Jia Yun's house to be a maid, and she had such a great change, which also made Xue Baochai yearn for her life after marrying Jia Yun even more.
At this moment, Xiangling walked up to Xue Baochai with a smile on her face and gave her a customary Wanfu gift: "I've met the girl."
Xue Baochai hurriedly stretched out his hands to help me, and said with a smile: "I told you to stop saluting me a long time ago. You are now the eldest girl in the palace, so there is no reason to salute me."
Xiangling said with a smile: "What you said is wrong, girl. You are going to come to our palace to be the princess. At that time, let alone this small gift, even the big gift of kowtow will be done to the girl."
Xue Baochai suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "You Xiangling, when did you learn to be so sharp-tongued?"
Xiangling smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth."
While Xue Baochai was chatting with Xiang Ling, she took Xiang Ling's hand and walked into the east wing. When she asked Xiang Ling to sit down, Xiang Ling said: "Girl, my wife sent me here this time. In the palace,
I was rewarded with a lot of fresh lychees, and my wife specially asked my mother and I to send some to the girl’s house and also to Rongfu. My mother has already gone to Rongfu, and I brought them to the girl’s house.”
With that said, Xiangling took a basket from the hands of the maidservant. The basket was covered with a towel. After opening the towel, there were some fresh lychees inside.
Xue Baochai was very happy. She liked eating fresh lychees very much. Moreover, Bu Wuniang specially asked Xiangling to send the fresh lychees this time. Although Bu Wuniang was not Jia Yun's biological mother, Xue Baochai still regarded this as a gift in her heart.
Plant your future mother-in-law's care for you.
In front of Xiangling, Xue Baochai would not deliberately be reserved. After appreciating the lychees in the basket, he picked up one, peeled it open and ate it. It had a good flavor, sweet taste and was delicious. How could it be satisfying after eating one?
She picked up another one and peeled it while caring about Xiangling: "You can eat it too."
Xiangling smiled and said: "I have eaten more than ten pills before I came here. I can't eat any more now. Besides, these are for grandma and the girl. When I return home, if I still want to eat, there will be something for me at home."
.”
Xue Baochai smiled slightly and felt that this girl was really lucky.
These are fresh lychees! Due to the difficulty of transportation, even if there are many wealthy people in Shenjing City, not many people can eat fresh lychees, because only the palace can obtain them through tribute. And even the Rongguo Mansion now has no
If you are eligible, you will be rewarded with fresh lychees by the palace. Unless a noble person sends them to you, you will not be able to eat them.
Looking at Xue Baochai who was already eating the third fresh lychee, Xiangling couldn't help but said proudly: "At first, my family is not allowed to be rewarded with fresh lychees by the palace. Last year, the fresh lychees that the prince asked me to give to the girl were given by others.
.This year, my family was rewarded by the palace, and they were rewarded a lot. Not only did I eat more than ten pills before coming here, but my mother was also rewarded with some by grandma."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Last year, Jia Yun asked Xiren to send fresh lychees to Jia Mu, and also asked Feng and Xiangling to send fresh lychees to the Xue family. At that time, his fresh lychees
The lychees were sent by Shui Rong, the prince of Beijing County. Now, Shui Rong is following Shuizhen in the rebellion and established the Qing Dynasty. Jia Yun became the prince and prince of the Qing Dynasty and the military governor of Chang'an, leading the Chang'an camp on the expedition.
Prince Dongping and Mei Kui have gone. Times have changed, things have changed and people have changed!
Xue Baochai smiled faintly and did not respond this time. He just thought quietly in his heart: That is natural. After all, he is already a prince and king. How can he not be rewarded with fresh lychees by the palace?
Xiangling suddenly became sad: "It's a pity that the prince is not at home today. He is leading the army on an expedition. It would be great if he were at home. He likes to eat fresh lychees very much."
Xue Baochai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "He...does the prince like eating fresh lychees very much?"
Xiangling said "hmm".
Xue Baochai was happy in her heart. This was the first time she heard about this. She likes to eat fresh lychees very much, and he also likes to eat fresh lychees. Such a small common ground made her feel a lot of sweetness. And while she was eating
The fourth fresh lychee seemed to be sweeter than the previous three.
After finishing the fourth fresh lychee, Xue Baochai didn't care to continue eating. After wiping his hands, he retreated from the maids in the room, including the rough maid brought by Xiang Ling, and then asked Xiang Ling: "Where have you been in Chang'an City recently?
How are you doing?"
"Well, Your Majesty has always treated me kindly and never been mean to me. He also graciously allowed my mother to accompany me to Chang'an City. How can it be bad?" Xiangling responded with a smile, then changed the topic and sighed: "I just didn't expect it.
, I had only lived in Chang'an City for about ten days, and the prince suddenly went on an expedition, so he sent someone to bring me back."
Xue Baochai ignored being reserved and asked Jia Yun where she lived in Chang'an City, when she left and returned home every day, and whether she was tired after returning home every day. Xiangling answered truthfully.
Knowing these things about Jia Yun, Xue Baochai felt a sense of satisfaction. There was another question. After hesitating, she couldn't help but ask: "Will you serve the tea in the prince's room at night, sit up and call for help, etc."
The other party was Xiang Ling, and there were only her and Xiang Ling in the room, otherwise she would not have asked such a question.
Xiangling still answered truthfully: "I don't. Qingwen will serve the prince in his room every night."
Xue Baochai nodded, guessing that Qingwen was probably going to be in Jia Yun's room! She knew that Jia Yun had specifically asked Aunt Lai to go to Qingwen at the beginning, but recently Qingwen would be in Jia Yun's room every night.
She could guess this by thinking of Xi Ren, Zicuckoo, and Xue Baochai. She even speculated that Xiang Ling should also become Jia Yun's roommate.
She was not jealous about this, she thought this kind of thing was normal. After all, it was just a concubine. There could be multiple concubines, but she would only be the princess.
Xiang Ling suddenly became embarrassed. She knew that Qingwen was cheated by Jia Yun the night before yesterday and was rewarded with two hundred taels of gold. Yesterday Qingwen was showing off this matter in front of her. However, although she was docile,
, naive, but also knew that it was inconvenient to tell Xue Baochai, the future Mrs. Jia Yun, such a thing.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiangling decided not to say anything, thinking: The girl didn't ask me about this, so it's no wonder I didn't tell her. Besides, even if I didn't say anything, the girl would know about it in the future.
Xiangling changed the topic and took the initiative to talk about the night before yesterday when Jia Yun took Qingwen and her to the rooftop to see Chang'an City. She also said that Jia Yun asked her to learn poetry and write poems, and said that she would find a master for her.
He recited a song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou - When will the bright moon come" and said that at that time the imperial edict came suddenly ordering Jia Yun to lead the army to the expedition...
Xiangling then looked eagerly and said: "Young lady is good at reading and good at poetry. Do you know the poem that the prince recited? If you know, can you write it down for me?"
Xue Baochai found it interesting. Although she thought it was not serious for women to write poems, and it was not serious for maids to write poems, she did not think it was inappropriate for Jia Yun to let Xiang Ling learn poetry and write poems.
Because of this, facing Xiangling's request, Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment and then decided to satisfy it. Her memory is good and she has memorized many poems, but she has read "Shui Tiao Songtou - When Will the Bright Moon Come"?
I also memorized some sentences, but I couldn't write them down completely.
She took Xiang Ling into the bedroom, found a book of Song lyrics from the box, and dug out "Shui Tiao Ge Tou—When Will the Bright Moon Come"? She then sat at the desk and copied the poem and handed it to Xiang Ling.
"Thank you, girl!" Xiangling was very happy, as if she had obtained a treasure. She couldn't help but read this poem to Xue Baochai's manuscript.
"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. It's difficult to do this in ancient times. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart."
When Xue Baochai heard these last two sentences, she couldn't help but think about her beloved brother again. Thinking that he was going to fight in the south of the Yangtze River across thousands of rivers and mountains, and was about to participate in a counterinsurgency war. She quietly prayed that he would be safe and win.
Return. In the next few days, she will spend thousands of miles with him to share the beauty of the beauty, and she is looking forward to his wedding night with her after his return.
…
…
When the Qing Dynasty was founded, there were four kings with different surnames. The one with the greatest contribution was the Prince of Beijing, followed by the Prince of Nan'an, then the Prince of Dongping and the Prince of Xining.
Dongping, Nan'an, Xining and Beijing, together they are "peace and tranquility".
The surname of the prince of Beijing County is Shui, the surname of the prince of Nan'an County is Huo, the surname of the prince of Dongping County is Mu, and the surname of the prince of Xining County is Jin.
The north belongs to water in the five elements, the south belongs to fire in the five elements, "Huo" is "fire", the east belongs to wood in the five elements, "Mu" is "wood", and the west belongs to metal in the five elements.
This is Cao Gong’s secret setting in the original work, and it is also the reality of the Red Mansion world that Jia Yun currently lives in.
To this day, the Mu family has inherited three generations of princes and three generations of Hangzhou Jiedushi.
There is a couplet in the Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion. It is an ebony couplet with chiseled silver calligraphy. It says: The sun and moon shine brightly on the throne, and the mist shines in front of the hall. There is also a line of small characters that reads: Fellow Countryman.
The younger brother Xun of Shijiao attacked Dongping County Prince Mu Shi and paid homage to him in his handwritten letter.
Mu Shi was the second-generation king of Dongping County. This couplet was written by him to the second-generation Duke of Rongguo and Jia Daishan, the governor of Chang'an. He said that he was a fellow countryman of Jia Daishan, and even said that he was a brother who received the teachings of Rongguofu. From
This shows how awesome Jia Daishan was at that time, and how awesome Rong Guofu was at that time!
Now Jia Daishan has been dead for many years, and Mu Shi has also died long ago. The current Dongping County Prince is the third generation, named Mu Zhi, and Mu Zhi is also the third generation of Hangzhou Jiedushi.
However, if Mu Zhi's eldest son cannot achieve considerable military exploits and cannot be a Jinshi, he will not be able to inherit the title of king or inherit the title of Hangzhou Jiedushi. And Mu Zhi's eldest son Mu Xuan is very incompetent. And Tian
Emperor Zhi was deeply hostile to the four kings and recently destroyed the Yun family who had colluded with the Mu family...
Therefore, after Beijingshuizhen rebelled, Dongping Mu Zhi also rebelled. Not only did he lead his own Hangzhou Battalion to rebel, he also asked Mei Kui to lead the Zhenjiang Battalion to follow suit.
According to Mu Zhi's plan, after Mei Kui led the Zhenjiang camp to rebel, he did not attack Yangzhou, which was nearby and very wealthy. Although the two places were close, they were separated by the Yangtze River, making it inconvenient to attack. The Zhenjiang camp moved from north to south, and the Hangzhou camp moved from south to north.
They attacked Suzhou together. Suzhou is also very prosperous. Moreover, once Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are captured, they will form a triangle with Taihu Lake in the middle. They have geographical advantages in both offense and defense. Inside and outside this triangle, it is also the richest place in the Qing Dynasty.
area!
In early July, after a month of hard work, the 40,000 Chang'an camp army, led by Jia Yun, surged from Chang'an to Zhenjiang like a torrential river...
