"The teacher has already guessed it," Wang Lidong said, looking around the emperor's palace. "The prince has four sons and four princesses. Plus wives and concubines, how can this small palace accommodate two families? Only.
The aggrieved teacher’s family is in trouble. I heard that a place has been found, a small courtyard with two entrances in the north of the outer city.”
The old emperor's vision went dark, and he couldn't breathe...
Σ(°△°|||)︴
After all, after being the emperor for decades, why is his psychological quality so fragile?
Wang Lidong hurriedly checked and found that his throat was blocked by phlegm. He helped the old emperor and patted his back gently, and a mouthful of thick phlegm flew out about ten feet away.
The old emperor took two deep breaths, his eyes turned black, then he reached out and grabbed Wang Lidong's wrist and said, "North of the outer city? Two small courtyards?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "It's not far from the charcoal cake workshop in the north of the city. I've been to that place several times and it's a bit chaotic."
The east of Tokyo is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is lowly. Most of the gangsters and scoundrels are concentrated in the outer city and north. It is more than a little chaotic...
The old emperor said angrily, "This unfilial son! How dare you!
"
He has 22 wives and concubines together, plus two underage princesses. When they enter the courtyard, there can only be four or five people crowded into one room, and a group of women live in such a chaotic place. Thinking of his daughter
The tragic ending of the woman's future makes her heart feel like a knife and her whole body can't help but tremble.
Wang Lidong helped him move his back, "Why don't you dare?! The teacher has no kindness towards the current prince. In turn, he saved your life. He also grabbed the current throne with the sword in his hand. The prince doesn't owe you anything.
of."
That's absolutely correct.
The old emperor sighed secretly, "Yuan Ruo, tomorrow you can find Fukang and ask her to arrange a large courtyard in the inner city. Then you can take your junior wives and sisters to live in the courtyard."
Wang Lidong nodded.
But she thought in her heart that Princess Fukang could not protect herself now. The prince consort's eighth brother Li Hu was involved in the "King Yan's rebellion". The prince used this excuse to arrest all the brothers of the prince consort and send them to prison. The conditions for their release were
The princess and the consort handed over their share of cotton. But looking at the old emperor's body, after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything, lest his neck would tilt up and he would be so angry.
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of footsteps in the distance. After Wang Lidong said he would come and see him when he had time, he left the Funing Palace. After a dozen breaths, he came to the outside of the Queen's palace and saw Ci.
The lights in Yuan Palace have been extinguished, and the hard-working queen finally fell asleep.
Ciyuan Hall is located in the north and faces south, with 6 wide corridors. In addition to the 2 east and west corridors, there are 4 indoor rooms. The 4 rooms can be divided into three units. The middle unit is the reception room, and the east unit includes two rooms.
The room, namely Nuan Pavilion, is where the Queen lives. The room to the west was originally a utility room, but now it has been converted into a study.
After listening carefully to the situation in the hall, there were a total of 5 breathing sounds, all in the thermal pavilion and the reception room. When I came to the west study room, I gently opened a window and stepped into the hall.
When I came to the desk, I saw a dozen wooden boxes placed on it. I opened one at random and found a square white jade seal inside. I picked it up and looked at it, "Treasure of the Emperor", and then opened the other wooden boxes.
, 'Emperor's Trusted Treasure', 'Sacred Treasure of the Nation'... none of the 'Eight Treasures of the Emperor' of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty were left behind.
This Empress Cao... moved all the emperor's food to her.
Wang Lidong took out an imperial edict from his arms, spread it out on the bookcase, picked up the "treasure of orders", and tapped a seal.
I picked up the imperial edict and looked at it. It was perfect!
knock off.
After returning the seal to its place, Wang Lidong was about to go home and sleep when he suddenly noticed two small copper boxes placed in the upper right corner of the bookcase.
He stepped forward to pick one up and opened it to see a bronze crouching tiger lying obediently inside.
Tiger talisman for mobilizing troops.
I took it in my hand and turned it over. Sure enough, there was only half a tiger. I looked at the inscription engraved on the tiger's body, "The talisman of military armor, the talent on the right, and Du on the left. If a soldier is armored and has more than 500 soldiers, he will definitely know how to do it."
The king's talisman dared to do it. Pan Sui's matter was beaten even though his mother knew the talisman.'
Picking up the small box, the lid was engraved with the words "Guard Ma Junsi", and picked up another box with the words "Dianqiansi" engraved on it.
Wang Lidong thought for a while, found pen and ink, and copied a copy of the two tiger charms. After leaving Ciyuan Hall, he came to Zichen Hall, rummaged for a while, and found the "Guard Infantry Division" controlled by the prince.
The tiger talisman is drawn like a gourd and a scoop. Before leaving, I scraped some bronze from the dark side of the tiger talisman.
.............................
On September 28th, the autumn air was crisp and the wind was gentle and sunny. The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone in the courtyard of the Sheng family. The quiet courtyard in the past was now extremely busy.
Today is the big day for Gu Tingye to bring betrothal gifts to his door. This guy is almost thirty and has no wife yet. Thinking of Sheng Minglan’s charming little appearance, he feels hot. He is not willing to wait for more than half a year. After discussing with the Sheng family, six gifts are given.
The process was greatly simplified. The six ceremonies that usually took more than half a year to complete were compressed into six days. At the same time, the wedding date was agreed upon and was set at the end of October.
Sheng Hualan and his wife came to the Sheng family to help before Brother Taiyang started work. Yuan Wenshao was originally going to be transferred to the Dianqian Division, but a sudden rebellion disrupted the promotion plan. After learning that Gu Tingye was promoted to the deputy commander of the Infantry Guard Infantry Division,
They found this young man. Gu Tingye was also worried about the lack of trusted men. Yuan Wenshao was promoted to three levels in a row and became the military commander.
Yuan Wenshao was so dizzy that a pie fell from the sky. A few days later, he heard that Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan were engaged, and the two became brothers-in-law. Yuan Wenshao was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Good sleep.
.....
"Girl, girl." The little magpie rushed into Wei Ruixuan like a small whirlwind, "Girl, the eldest girl gave the six girls double gifts this time! Last time when my uncle made a big announcement, the eldest girl only gave one gift.
A congratulatory gift!”
Rulan was eating crystal shrimp dumplings happily, and her mood suddenly became bad. Although she didn't care much about these inedible things, she felt a little uncomfortable. Hualan was her biological sister, and she was nicer to outsiders than herself.
, then he made a note in his notebook, swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, and said, "The eldest sister Daxiao and Xiaoliu are closer than me. It is thanks to Gu Tingye that the eldest brother-in-law can be promoted to such a high position this time."
, sending double copies should be a thank you to my eldest brother-in-law for his promotion."
Just to flatter the sixth girl.
But the girl said so, and the little magpie could only hum a few times, feeling dissatisfied for the girl.
"Quack..." "Quack..."
The cry of several wild geese sounded outside the house. It sounded like there was an invasion of foreign enemies. The big magpie hurried out and soon led a white and fat little bean into the house.
After Sister Zhuang entered the house, her little nose twitched and she smelled the aroma of meat in the air. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She ran up to Ru Lan with her short legs and hugged her thighs and breasts.
She called out softly, "Fifth Aunt."
ha!
She is the eldest sister's daughter.
Seeing her cute little niece, Ru Lan happily held Sister Zhuang on her lap and kissed her twice. When she saw the little one looking at the various snacks on the table, she said, "Sister Zhuang, tell your aunt what you want to eat."
....."
Hua Lan and Sheng Minglan were chatting when they suddenly discovered that their daughter was missing. She was so frightened that she broke into cold sweat on her forehead. She hurriedly asked the maids and servants to search frantically. After burning a stick of incense, they realized that she had gone to her sister's room and rushed to Wei Ruixuan.
He saw his daughter lying in Rulan's arms and burping...
Furious!
He stepped forward and picked up his daughter, and hit her butt twice. Sister Zhuang cried out in pain.
Ru Lan grabbed her niece and said, "Why did eldest sister hit Sister Zhuang?"
Hua Lan said angrily, "He ran away without saying a word, causing the whole family to search for him for a long time."
Rubbing her niece's little pussy, Ruland said, "The little one is only 2 years old, how can she know so much..."
"Sister Zhuang, if you don't cry, look what is in Fifth Aunt's hand." She took out two lollipops from her pocket. Sister Zhuang's eyes were bright and she reached out to take them. Ru Lan said hurriedly, "Little glutton."
, let aunt peel off the paper shell..."
Seeing the big one and the little one happily licking the lollipops, Hua Lan was speechless, "How old are you to still eat these things?"
Ru Lan said indifferently, "Brother Heng and Brother Xuan eat it often. They are several years older than me."
Birds of a feather flock together. Hua Lan now knows why Qi Heng fell in love with his sister. She sat down next to Ru Lan and whispered, "Didn't you tell Brother Heng to stop making trouble?"
Ru Lan didn't know why and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Heng?"
Hua Landao said, "It's just about the matter with Uncle Gu. Now that things have reached this point, we are all relatives after all, so we all need to step back. If the trouble continues, Qi Xuan and Brother Heng will definitely suffer in the future."
Ru Lan glanced at Hua Lan and snorted, "Sister, are you here to be a lobbyist?"
Hua Lan smiled and said, "I have wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. Another day is about to change, and Uncle Gu is the prince's celebrity. Although the Qixuan family has the support of the queen, it can be... The Song Dynasty is still the emperor.
Let’s do the math.”
Rulan said with a smile, "Why are you telling me this, sister? If you want to make peace, you should talk to Brother Xuan."
Hua Lan's face froze. Is it reasonable for a woman to find a grown man to make peace with her?
After calming down, he continued to persuade, "Brother Heng and Qi Xuan have a close relationship and are cousins. As long as Brother Heng speaks, I will come..."
Ru Lan frowned and said, "Sister, I'm not married yet, but I am married. Do you think I can be the boss of the second brother Heng? And it's clear to everyone who is right and who is wrong in this matter. It is Gu Tingye who you should persuade.
He stole someone's wife, didn't even say an apology, and even came to threaten her! Just because he is a popular prince, he doesn't have to be unreasonable."
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel if they continued talking, Hua Lan quickly changed the topic. After chatting for a few words, she asked, "Aren't you going to watch the ceremony?"
Ru Lan raised her small fist and said, "I won't go. I want to draw a clear line between me and Xiao Liu, who is always around and around!"
How old you are, but still as childish as a child.
After the two sisters chatted for a while, Hua Lan felt that it was getting late, so she carried Sister Zhuang out of Wei Ruixuan.
Back at Shou'an Hall, Sheng Minglan saw Sister Zhuang and said, "Tell Sixth Aunt, where did you go just now?"
Sister Zhuang licked the lollipop and said happily, "I'm going to my fifth aunt."
Sheng Minglan looked at her eldest sister, Hua Lan shook her head slightly.
At this time, Xiao Tao quietly leaned into Sheng Minglan's ear and whispered, "Girl, the Fourth Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master are here."
Sheng Minglan was a little surprised. Since Mo Lan got married, except for a trip back to the Sheng family during the "three days' return", she has not seen anyone at all in the past six months. The Sheng family has ignored them and just pretended to be gone.
This daughter.
If Lin Xiaoniang was still alive, I think there would still be people in the Sheng family talking about her, but Lin Xiaoniang had just been sent to the farm, and after being imprisoned for a few days, she reported to the Eighteenth Level of Hell...
She just sent out an invitation as usual. Sheng Molan didn't come back the last time Ru Lan made a big appointment. She didn't expect to come today...
Seeing that the sixth sister was in a daze, Hua Lan reminded her in a low voice. Sheng Minglan hurriedly got up and came to the door. She saw Sheng Molan with a big belly and fourth brother-in-law Xu Kunxuan beside her, "Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law."
Mo Lan was very enthusiastic when she saw Ru Lan. They had been separated for half a year. The two sisters couldn't help but feel a little emotional. They both reminisced about the past, as if they were sisters...
Sheng Molan walked into the room and said hello to everyone. Although the old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't want to see Molan, they didn't deliberately embarrass themselves on such a festive day.
"It's so lively. Oh, isn't this Mo Lan? Last time Ru Lan went to Dading, I didn't see you. This time, my belly is so big, so it's easier to come out?" Aunt Kang walked into Shou'an Hall and saw Mo Lan.
Finally, as expected of a 'little master of spoiling the fun', just a few words of 'Tu tu tu tu' made the atmosphere in the room drop by more than ten degrees.
After Sheng Molan said hello to her aunt with a smile, she became concerned about why Aunt Kang's two daughters were not here. There were many ladies from noble families today, so it was a good opportunity to see each other...
Prince Kang really admired Mo Lan. The Duke's government really paid him a visit. In the past, he only cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. Now he started to laugh with hidden knives...
Seeing Aunt Kang coming uninvited, Mrs. Sheng immediately turned to look at Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang hurriedly waved her hand, Minglan was not born to her, not to mention that Gu Tingye and the Qi Xuan family were in such a quarrel, what happened to her side today?
None of the relatives shouted.
Mrs. Kang and Wang came to the old lady, said hello, and after saying a few auspicious words to Minglan, she came to Mrs. Wang and said to the maid beside her, "What are you still waiting for? Go and move a chair."
come."
Mrs. Wang nodded helplessly, everyone was here, so what could be done.
After Kang Wang sat down, he asked, "I heard that the Li Shilang family returned all the betrothal gifts yesterday? Is the marriage between Changbai and the Li family ruined?"
Which pot won't be opened?
Mrs. Wang felt her chest was stuffy.
Yesterday, Mr. Li personally came to cancel the marriage certificate. In this era, canceling an engagement has a great impact on the reputation of both parties, especially when the woman takes the initiative to cancel the engagement. The Li family would rather become enemies with the Sheng family than cancel the marriage. It is really helpless. The reputation of the Sheng family Nowadays, the wind is blowing ten miles away... The Sheng family is in the wrong, so Sheng Hong has no choice but to agree.
When Mrs. Kang Wang saw her sister's ugly face, she felt so happy that she disliked her two daughters.
Ha ha!
After stabbing the Wang family with some strange words, the conversation changed to promoting his eldest daughter Kang Yuner, "Changbai's engagement has been broken off, and it will be difficult to find a good family in the future. Yuner, you have watched her grow up since she was a child. , I don’t dislike Bai’er either, I’ll keep kissing you..."
Mr. Wang was a little moved. Yoona was well-educated, smart, respectful, kind, and pretty. She was really a wonderful daughter-in-law.
If he marries into the Sheng family, he won't be afraid that his daughter-in-law will turn the world upside down...
However, thinking about Changbai's marriage, Sheng Hong and the old lady have always made the decision, so they can only think about it. Seeing her sister's expression, Kang Wang knew that she was attracted, and immediately became energetic, and was about to strike while the iron was hot to finalize the matter...
At this moment, a doorman trotted into the room, came to the old lady, and said, "Old lady, my lord, the recruiting team for the second son of the Gu family has already set off."
Mrs. Sheng asked, "Which guests did Erlang of the Gu family invite to deliver betrothal gifts?"
The disciple smiled and said, "The Duke of Ying, the Marquis of Weibei, and Uncle An Dong are all here."
All the prince's confidants and generals had arrived, and Mrs. Sheng hurriedly called all the ladies to sit down in the front hall.
After a stick of incense was burned, the procession delivering the betrothal gift arrived at the gate of the Sheng family. When Sheng Hong saw Ying Guogong, everyone hurried forward. After a while of greetings, they were led into the front hall.
"The groom's betrothal gift...a pair of wild geese."
"Twenty thousand taels of gold..."
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"...."
The gold and silver alone are worth 800,000 gold!
All the guests looked at Sheng Hong and his wife with envy and envy. The three sons-in-law were all wealthy owners. The Korean government paid money, the fifth son-in-law was the God of Wealth of the Song Dynasty, and the sixth son-in-law was the prince. Unexpectedly, they were not short of money. Lord...
Kang Wang took a look at Wang's face but it was not very good-looking. She rolled her eyes and understood immediately, and whispered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the betrothal gifts are all double those given by the young father-in-law. My sister is really lucky.
The matchmaker is Duke Ying, who is the eldest son of the crown prince. The future prince will be more prestigious than the prince-in-law invited by the young prince.
Look at Mo Lan, this girl has a big belly and wants to come back. It shows that Gu Tingye is more powerful now.
Sister, of the three uncles in the Sheng family, I originally thought that the fifth uncle was the most promising, but now it seems that the most promising one is the sixth uncle. Fortunately, this sixth girl is in your name, and she is also your son-in-law... ..”
Although he knew that his sister had bad intentions, the betrothal gift given by Gu Tingye today clearly meant that he was going to step on Ru Lan. Wang felt that her trachea was about to burst, and the handkerchief in her hand twisted like a Tianjin hemp flower...
...........
In the afternoon, Sheng Hong, who had drunk a lot of alcohol, walked into Wei Ruixuan with one foot high and one foot low. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang quickly asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup. Sheng Hong drank half of the bowl of hangover soup. After drinking the soup, I felt very refreshed. I burped, put down the celadon bowl, and took Mrs. Wang and said happily, "Today Mr. Ying Guo personally came to play matchmaker. He gave my family a lot of face. I didn't expect that he would still stay." Have a drink together.
Guess what Duke Yingguo said to me before he left just now?"
Wang asked curiously, "What?"
Sheng Hong smiled and said, "Although I didn't say it clearly, the meaning is obvious. It won't be long before I can be transferred back to the capital."
Wang was surprised and said, "Really?! That's great."
Sheng Hong sighed that this was the benefit of having a big backer. Then he thought of something and asked,
"My girl is getting married soon. How much dowry do you plan to prepare?"
Hearing Minglan's name, Mrs. Wang's face paled. She took the jade teacup with chrysanthemum petals handed to her by the maid, poured it into the boiling water, took the tea she ordered and stirred it slowly, "Just as much as you need, at home. Don’t we all have routines?”
Glancing at Mrs. Wang, Sheng Hong said, "Are you planning to get the same dowry as Mo Lanbei?"
Wang nodded slowly.
Sheng Hong slapped the table and said, "I knew you would do this! Hu Tu."
Mrs. Wang threw away the tea in her hand and glared, "What am I talking about? Minglan is your daughter, Molan is also your daughter. They are both concubines. Is it wrong to have the same dowry?!"
Do you still want to be like Ru'er, they are also worthy!?!"
Also a concubine.
Wang's words stung Sheng Hong's temples. He suppressed his anger and persuaded earnestly, "Do you want me to stay in Yangzhai County and be the county magistrate for the rest of my life? Do you still want me to be transferred back to the capital immediately?"
"What do you mean? What does the dowry have to do with your transfer back to the capital?"
"Tsk, why did Duke Ying come to my Sheng house today? Why did he stay to have a drink? It was just for Ting Ye's sake.
Tingye gave such a generous betrothal gift today. If tomorrow's dowry is as shabby as Mo'er's, do you think Tingye will have no idea?
Now that I have not been transferred back to the capital, I have angered Ting Ye and made a crooked mouth in front of the prince... I will never want to return to the capital in my life."
Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "If you don't prepare more dowry for girl Ming, he won't speak for you, right? Instead, he will speak ill of you. Then your son-in-law is really a very good character!"
Sheng Hong choked for a moment, and then threw out Changbai's trump card. The prince will be promoted to a regular position in a short time. When he becomes the leader of the Song Dynasty, just one word can make Changbai sit on the little rocket, 'biubiubiu 'Bounce up, and we'll talk about a good marriage when the time comes. I'm so angry that Mr. Li is so angry!
When it came to her son's future and life-long events, although Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do so, she finally nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, Minglan's dowry will be prepared according to Tathagata's share..."
Sheng Hong was overjoyed, and just as he was about to praise his wife, Mrs. Wang said, "You pay for the extra dowry money!"
