White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 274

The queen mother sighed softly: “Thanks to God, Li Min was saved from this **.”

Yingchun said again: “Then the prince tried the case, it really is the father’s dragon son, Bao Qingtian is reborn, and after one trial, several people will be brought out. The people all want to kill it, but the prince thought to himself, what is the end of the father and the emperor? Kindness, as long as this prisoner is clearly interrogated, how to deal with it depends on the opinion of the father and the emperor.”

The emperor said: “A Xuan brought the gold medal monk Fang Baojian to the south, so he didn’t kill anyone?”

Yingchun said: “When you were fighting with assassins, you killed people. When you raided your house, if you encountered officials who insisted on stealing and resisters from the criminal’s family, they would have been killed for a few years, but the criminals themselves had their own lives and were escorted to Beijing. “

The emperor said again: “Speaking of confiscating homes, you should make a fortune.”

Yingchun said: “We really don’t dare to take it indiscriminately. I only took some precious herbal medicines that were smashed into the homes of wealthy businessmen and officials. These herbal medicines can’t stand for a long time, and when the medicinal properties are scattered, they are wasted. We used them to mix some. The health-preserving pills are just for the father, mother, emperor, and queen. Unfortunately, I have only seen these kinds of prescriptions from the master, otherwise there are still many medicines.”

The queen smiled and said, “Why even have me?”

“Women can nourish their qi and blood, and they can also nourish their face.”

The emperor said: “How can we eat your medicine indiscriminately!”

Yingchun said: “This is for the imperial doctor to see. It should be able to be used with other food supplements. My master is not very reliable, but his recipes are still somewhat articulate.”

Yingchun asked Si Qi to enter the hall with a backpack. After Yingchun opened it, he began to distribute the medicine bottles.

After dividing the medicine bottles, she took out two more fans from the bag and said, “These are found in a salt merchant’s mansion. One is the real work of Zhao Mengfu and the other is the real work of Tang Bohu. It means that the royal father can appreciate one. Two.”

The emperor frowned and said, “You guys are like blowing the autumn wind, how do you make it happen!”

Yingchun said: “Father, the prince’s trial all rely on evidence. Those who have all the evidence and material evidence, even if they are required to confess, they will never dare to make a case for injustice.”

The emperor also wanted the new emperor to rectify the dynasty, but he knew that if he wanted to rectify the old people when he was in power, he sympathized with the old people. Traitor of the country.

The emperor finally lost his interest and said: “You love this fan and you can play it yourself, I still don’t care about this?”

Yingchun said: “If the royal father doesn’t want it, give it to someone else. In short, the prince said, we can’t have it.”

The emperor said: “Oh? Is he really addicted to being a blue sky?”

“No, this time back in Beijing, there will be countless people staring at us, so we have to be careful.”

…

Sima Xuan and Yingchun visited the Emperor, Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress. When they left the palace, it was also dark, so they went back to the palace to rest, not to mention it for the time being.

Then, Sima Xuan was also busy in a row. There were endless ships transporting silver taels, gold, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., and they all had to be counted and put into storage.

And at this time, the Ministry of Household is the busiest time for renting children into the capital in autumn. How could the emperor let Sima Xuan, a cronie, go idle?

At the same time, the relevant dignitaries in Beijing were also very dissatisfied with Sima Xuan. It was not enough to make trouble with the emperor, so they went to make trouble with the emperor.

The emperor was very annoyed. After reading the file, he took it to the great court meeting and said that he demoted the five princes, the seventh prince, and the eight princes to the princes of the state, and ordered him to return the salt donated by the criminals on the file. tax silver.

Now, all these princes went to the emperor. The emperor knew that these sons were not good, and they were digging the roots of the country, but they were his own children, so he told the emperor that he hoped not to have brothers.

Sima Xuan was not liked by the prince, so Yingchun had less communication. She paid attention to the housekeeper for a few days, and followed several steps.

On the one hand, she comprehensively standardized the job benefits and obligations of the servants of the palace; on the other hand, she implemented a system of elimination at the bottom of the palace, releasing a group of people out of the palace every three months. Improve the treatment of literate and martial vassals in the palace.

Just like Tanchun’s housekeeper, she implements a group or family responsibility contracting system for the Wangfu, and outsources the large kitchen to Wangye’s nanny’s family and Wangfu’s cook’s family to operate together, supervise and restrain each other. The whole government implements a three-meal subsidy system, allowing them to use the subsidized money to buy food in the big kitchen.

And Tian Zhuangjin’s income will be sold to the kitchen contractor at the market price. If there are any excess items that cannot be hidden for a long time, they will be given priority to the dedicated servants in the house. together.

The service and dishes will be evaluated in the kitchen every year. If there are serious service problems that are not improved, the kitchen will be cancelled, all relevant personnel will be sent out, and a competent team will be hired.

And like the six palaces of the inner court, she manages the maids, but those who fail the work assessment, sell those who are wrong, and order them to redeem themselves and leave the palace at a low price. The dowry is distributed to the beloved; the servant can also redeem himself and escape the country of his own accord.

Among them, the maids and embroidered women who were originally in charge of sewing and sewing would be the most difficult. There were not so many embroidered women in the palace, and Yingchun did not want to raise so many people in the mansion. Yingchun went to Beijing Embroidery Textile in person. She knew the costs of all parties, so she signed a supply contract with Embroidery Textile, and bought from them all kinds of uniforms for autumn and winter at market prices every year, and the fabrics did not need to be fancy or expensive. . For clothes other than uniforms, the embroidery workshop proprietress can recommend it to the palace. The rewards received by the palace from the palace, those with high regulations can be used for personal use or to prepare gifts, and those with low regulations can be sold to embroidery workshops or sold in their own shops.

After receiving such a big client from Wangfu, it was a natural joy for the medium-sized embroidery workshop.

All these reforms are also popular, and Yingchun is a person who does not talk about the pretentiousness of the Rongfu, but only focuses on practicality. There are no opera troupes, no nuns, and no old-fashioned servants in the palace. On the contrary, he also raised some staff, who were treated very well.

After the announcement of these reforms, some people were happy, some were worried, and some were uncooperative and disobedient. Yingchun directly asked someone to send the family out. On the other side, Pan Youan was instructed to go outside the mansion to recruit free civilians to work as long-term workers in the mansion. Si Qi and Pan received her life-saving grace again, and they knew her ability and wanted to seek a good future, so they were loyal to her.

After such a tossing, the palace finally implemented the reformed method. Although it cost a lot of money at the beginning, after a period of time, everyone got used to it. After spending money to go to the kitchen to buy food, no one was wasting it, and there was no lowering. People rely on relationships to eat and drink.

When the princes and princesses got special ingredients to do, the kitchen has to do it too, and the extra ingredients will be given to the kitchen.

At least in terms of food, there is no waste: the servants in the two rooms who contract the kitchen are naturally active in making money, which is the same as the modern school canteen and commissary. They do not contract and some people want to replace them; most of the servants find that they use the meal allowance After the system, the money saved every month is a little more.

Gradually, the palace’s expenditure became more frugal, and the servants did things with a new look.

…

But he said that when Yingchun returned to Beijing, Qin Keqing of Ningfu had already gone to the funeral, and Yingchun didn’t have much interaction with her, so he couldn’t save her. As for whether Sister Feng is still in power at the Mantou Nunnery, Yingchun does not know. If after she reminded her, there is a high pressure of anti-corruption in Jiangnan, Wang Xifeng will feel that she is more powerful than Zhen Yingjia and Li Boyan.

No one can save such a person.

Daiyu and Lin Ruhai came to Beijing 20 days late to welcome the Spring Festival. At this time, almost all the goods from Jiangsu’s raided homes had arrived in the capital, and it was Lin’s turn to land the wealth of Wanguan’s family.

Daiyu and Lin Ruhai went back to the Lin family’s house in the early years, and the Lin family’s housekeeper sorted them out earlier. People like the Xue family still have their own houses in Kyoto, and Lin Ruhai was originally released from Beijing.

The capital is full of land and gold, and it’s just that the Ning Rong Second Mansion, which was not created by order, is so majestic.

After going home and settling down for a day, Lin Ruhai had to go to the palace to meet the two saints the next day, but the Rongguo Mansion had already sent a sedan chair to pick up Daiyu.

Yingchun also got the news early, and just packed up today and rushed to her parents’ house to greet the old lady and join in the fun.

She is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. No matter how many political enemies Sima Xuan has in the court, the Rong Mansion can’t ask the prince to take the princess to the Rong Mansion. Yes, I want her to visit the mansion.

The Rong Mansion had entrusted it once, but Yingchun did not go to the Rong Mansion immediately. He asked two imperial physicians to go to the Rong Mansion to see the old lady, and sent a bottle of health elixir to the Rong Mansion, calling it the medicine from the palace.

At this time, before the Spring Festival arrived, Daiyu arrived first, and Daiyu discovered that the door of the Rong Mansion was wide open, and it was unknown whether it was because they knew that Lin Ruhai had not died and returned to Beijing, or that they knew that she was engaged.

However, she will soon find out that the Rong House still doesn’t know about her engagement, the two families have made an appointment out of their busy schedules, and there is no need to publicize it to everyone.

After Daiyu’s sedan chair entered the mansion through the gate, the sedan chair dropped off at the Chuihuamen, and Wang Xifeng brought Ping’er and other maids to welcome him here.

Get off the sedan chair, and go to Rongqing Hall with Wang Xifeng’s master and servant.

Daiyu saw the familiar Jia Mansion where she had lived for several years, but she seemed not to know each other. But seeing that the servants in the mansion were full of flattery, Daiyu was very thoughtful and understood that it was not only because the second sister had been protecting her. But thinking that in the past, besides wanting to give her a treasure, the old lady also liked her very much, and the servants in the house still had high eyebrows and low eyes. Although the second sister became the princess, she was still the old lady in the Rong Mansion, and the second sister supported her almost as much as the old lady, so in the final analysis, it was because her father returned to Beijing. There is a difference between a woman having a father and not having a father.

Supported by Zijuan and Xueyan, they entered the inner hall, and saw Mother Jia sitting in the middle and upper, with Baoyu sitting beside her, while Madam Xing and Madam Wang were on the left and right, Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun accompanies the next song.

Daiyu knelt down to greet Mother Jia, and met her elders separately, and Mother Jia hurriedly summoned her to speak. When Jia Baoyu saw her running to the south, she became more and more romantic, and couldn’t help staring at her blankly.

Baochai looked at Baoyu’s expression and felt jealous. Baochai was not selected for the draft, and she also knew that the royal family would not choose her to be the side room of the king and the king. She hoped that the only way to be a concubine to Sima Xuan was Yingchun, that is, Yingchun would use her to secure favor. Although Baochai didn’t know the relationship between Sima Xuan and Yingchun, she wasn’t really stupid, she felt that there was little hope – of course, if there was any hope, she would win.

Therefore, Baochai will firmly grasp Jia Baoyu’s big spare tire, and if the Jia family proposes a marriage, she will also agree.

Baoyu and Baochai have been in contact with each other a lot recently. Baoyu originally liked Baochai’s beauty, but Baochai persuaded him many times to study to gain fame, and Baoyu was bored.

There is also that Xiren, who has always pinched him and persuaded him to study. He is very close to Xiren, and unlike the others, he will suffer if he is pinched once, but it will be useless after a long time. There are many more beautiful people in his house than Xiren. The golden chakras in his wife’s house and the mandarin ducks in the old lady’s house also have their own merits, and he puts less of his heart on Xiren.

But Baoyu is also the elder brother of Gonghou’s family. As he said, “who will be blessed with Baochai and Ying’er as master and servant in the future”. It can be seen that in his three views, he is married to a young lady, and the maid is also his own. Of course, a young lady is a young lady, and a maid is a maid, and it cannot be replaced. There are still vacancies in the “Miss” category of his love interest.

So in retrospect, he was fond of Daiyu, who had been close to him since childhood, and never persuaded him to study.

Baoyu said, “Sister rushing from north to south, how is your body safe?”

Daiyu said, “Second brother Duolaobao is concerned, I am all right.”

Baoyu wanted to curry favor with Daiyu, and she had just reunited at this time, and it was nothing to treat her better, so he took out the string of liana incense that King Beijing had given him, and sent it to Daiyu, but begged her to smile.

Baoyu talked about the benefits of this thing, but Daiyu said in disgust, “What stinky man took it! I don’t want this thing!”

Daiyu threw the thing back, but Baoyu had no choice but to take it back, but she didn’t feel annoyed in her heart. Sister Lin, who she values, hates other men, just like the handsome and romantic man from King Beijing. She doesn’t like it either. This makes Baoyu feel happy.

But Mrs. Wang was deeply annoyed when she saw that Daiyu humiliated Baoyu so much, and she felt that she could not be made worthy of Baoyu, so she moved her son’s heart.

When Baochai heard that it belonged to King Beijing, his heart moved, that King Beijing was the one with the highest credit and the most kindness among the four kings with different surnames. When his side concubine is also on the jade ultimatum, it is better than marrying Baoyu who has no official and no title.

But Baochai suffers from no way out, and Baoyu is an idiot at a young age, so how could she be a matchmaker for her?

At this moment, someone came to report: “Prince Yu has entered the mansion!”

Yingchun is a royal daughter-in-law, her rank is there, and the status of the emperor is even more important.

Unlike Daiyu, she is a pure relative and junior, so she walked down from Mother Jia, Madam Xing, and Madam Wang, and all got up to greet her outside the door.

Thinking of the ordinary concubines of an emperor in the original book, they still have to wear official dresses, and those who do not have official orders should also dress brightly and wait outside the gate for a few hours.

Yingchun’s pomp is extremely small. When they arrived at the second gate, Si Qi brought two little maids to the mansion in advance to report: “The princess said, the old lady doesn’t need to be too hard.”

So the old lady went back to the Chuihuamen and waited. Others greeted them outside the gate. After a while, the princess’ sedan chair arrived at the gate of Rongfu. Yingchun came out of the sedan chair, and all the women greeted him with the state ceremony.

Yingchun returned a half salute to the elders and said, “Go and see the old lady.”

As she said that, she was surrounded by Wang Xifeng and other girls, and a group of people entered the door in a mighty manner, and met Jia’s mother at the Chuihuamen, and then turned to Rongqingtang.

Yingchun and Jia’s mother sit at the top, left and right, and the rest of the female relatives sit according to their identities.

Yingchun said: “We have returned to Beijing more than half a month ago, but we really can’t get out. I heard that the old lady was ill the day before yesterday, so I sent someone to bring some medicines. Can the old lady try it, but it still works? “

Mother Jia said with a smile: “I’m worried about the empress. When I get older, I will always be a little uncomfortable. Now it’s okay. It’s just that the people below are nervous, so I’m annoying the empress.”

Yingchun said: “It’s better for the old lady to take care of herself. Mothers, sisters-in-law, and sisters worry about the old lady, and it is also their filial piety.”

Everyone chatted for a while before Yingchun asked Daiyu, “Is Uncle Lin feeling better?”

Daiyu said, “Thank you second sister. Although my father is still weak, he is still in good health. I will go to the court today, otherwise I will come to greet the old lady.”

Yingchun said, “Is that medicine still enough?”

Daiyu said, “There is still one in the house. I will serve my father and serve him. He is much better.”

When Daiyu said “waiting for daddy to take it”, it meant that after Lin Ruhai took the medicine, Daiyu would use a little internal strength she had cultivated to help his stomach qi run and absorb the properties of the medicine.

Yingchun nodded and said, “I went south with the prince this time, and it was by the emperor’s order. The Jiangnan officialdom was really chaotic. I heard that our Fu Shangyuan and the Zhen family are old relatives. I don’t know if there will be contacts this year. ?”

Mother Jia had seen a lot more and said, “Is it very dangerous this time?”

Yingchun said with a sneer: “In order to fight against the emperor, Zhen Yingjia not only sent assassins, but also bombed the river bank. Zhen’s house was raided and dismissed from office. Zhen Yingjia and several brothers could not save their lives, they just didn’t know how the young masters in the house were. The relatives of the daughters were taken back to Beijing, and they were sold after being ordered by the emperor, and the concubines were sold in the south.”

Yingchun said, she couldn’t help but glance at Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng was shocked for no reason.

Mother Jia wiped her tears and said, “It’s also pitiful.”

Yingchun said: “If they are pitiful, how can the people live up to them? Royal grace and the three generations of them have served as presidents of Tiren Institute, not only because of the old love of the Holy Lady, but also because they took over. “

Jia’s mother is an old lady, she has her class position, she only asks: “How is the lady of Fengsheng?”

Yingchun said: “We didn’t embarrass her, but she fell ill by herself last month, and she is not too young.”

If according to Jia Daishan and the emperor are the same generation, then Fengsheng’s wife is a generation higher than Jia’s mother. But Yingchun married Sima Xuan, and Mother Jia was the same generation as Mrs. Fengsheng.

When Mother Jia heard this, her face was annoyed, and Yingchun changed her words: “Let’s forget about these things. But there is a big happy event. I wonder if the old lady has heard of it?”

Mother Jia said, “What’s the happy event?”

Wang Xifeng interjected, “Could it be that Uncle Lin is about to be promoted?”

Yingchun said with a smile, “Uncle Lin has already moved to the official position, but this happy event is even more gratifying than the promotion!”

Tan Chun said: “Hurry up, hurry up, the princess doesn’t hang people’s appetites like this!”

Yingchun only said: “Our lord is handling the case in the south, and the Dingbei Hou is a native of Yangzhou, and the emperor assisted by the side. Dingbei Hou is as young and promising as the Han Dynasty champion Hou, when he was in the north, it was probably “the Xiongnu was not destroyed. Why is there a family? He hasn’t gotten married yet! Because Uncle Lin helped him find the old lady, and the two were speculating about their exchanges, the Duke of Dingbei asked Uncle Lin for marriage, and it was the prince who protected the matchmaker! Sister Lin is here. But now that I have someone else, I will definitely be a Mrs. Hou in the future!”

Although Yingchun is young, it is convenient for “married people”, and no one thinks it is inappropriate to say these words.

Daiyu’s face flushed with embarrassment, and Lin Taoran, who had always been arrogant, was speechless. Many of the people present did not respond, and Mother Jia was very disappointed.

Mother Jia said, “Why is Yu’er in such a hurry to get a marriage?”

Yingchun said, “This is the Duke of Bei who sincerely wants to marry, and Uncle Lin also likes it.”

Mother Jia couldn’t help but look at Baoyu, Baoyu stayed for a long time, and said, “Sister Lin is from our family, how can you leave our family? My daughter’s family is fine, why do you want to get married? Sister Lin is not too big. , how do you say that you are engaged to be engaged? I have not asked our family, whether the old lady will allow it?

Daiyu couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard this, but this was her marriage, so girls shouldn’t ask questions directly, she was only shocked.

Yingchun said: “The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the Duke of Dingbei to seek marriage, the prince to protect the matchmaker, and the promise of Uncle Lin, there is nothing more bright and righteous than this. What’s the use of you?”

Baoyu said: “You keep saying that the prince and the prince, wishing they all flew to the sky, asking those Ashes for fame and fortune, can you be half sincere?”

Yingchun said: “What are you talking about? If our ancestors did not seek fame and fortune, how could our sons and grandsons enjoy wealth and honor? If our ancestors did not have fame and fortune, you are Mingyan, Li Gui, and even they are not as good as them. , where are you going to be your second treasure? What kind of sincerity, is it not sincere to let women get rich and honorable? Is it sincere to let wives and children eat chaff?”

Baoyu stayed on the spot, only to feel empty in his heart, and for a while, he was sweating hotly, and his face was full of purple swelling. Even if he was called by his relatives and servants, he would not pay attention. At this time, Jia Mu, Madam Wang, Xiren and others could not care about the honor of Yingchun’s princess, and they all went to surround Baoyu and helped him to rest in his room. .

Yingchun knew that his so-called “madness” would be fatal, so he pulled Daiyu to stand outside.

At this time, they were **** their own, and their backing was hard, and the maidservants who attacked people didn’t dare to be “full of anger” at their master and servant like Zijuan after trying jade, and called them “Aunt Zijuan”. If Zijuan wanted to be Baoyu’s aunt before, now of course she wants to be Dingbeihou’s aunt. The loathing of Zijuan is naturally also caused by natural competition. At that time, where would you not take the opportunity to step on her?

In this day and age, the first-in-class maid is the prospective concubine, and even a pure man like Baoyu thinks so, not to mention others.

Only Si Qi had the Ai Lang Pan You case in his heart, and Yingchun and Sima Xuan had absolutely no plans to take a concubine.

Daiyu was also a little worried, because of her, she asked: “Second sister, you are very skilled in medicine, and the imperial doctor has not arrived yet, why don’t you go see Baoyu?”

Yingchun said: “This so-called ‘infatuation’ basically has two kinds of situations: one is that the psychological quality is too poor, and it is sad and painful; the other is to escape, to help relatives and obey one’s will for the sake of one’s own safety. Baoyu is not sick, it’s good to take it easy, why do you need a doctor? When the doctor comes, he will tell you that the disease is serious, it is just a wise way to protect yourself.”

Daiyu wondered, “Is what the second sister said true?”

Yingchun said, “Do you still doubt my medical skills?”

Daiyu was relieved at this moment, but she thought again: This is her own marriage, Baoyu came to make trouble, didn’t she put a stigma on her back? If that person knew, he would only tell her…

Daiyu couldn’t help feeling sad, but Yingchun saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, but she didn’t break it.

It turned out that she had learned from the illusion that Baoyu was going to make trouble after hearing about the engagement, because Lin Ruhai had passed away, and there were still people in the mansion who maliciously slandered Daiyu’s reputation. In fact, a person who has a good marriage will be jealous, and even Tanchun will be jealous. At that time, he would not help Daiyu like Yingchun, but Baochai fanned the flames.

Fortunately, the Duke of Dingbei was more affectionate than Jin Jian. He had a marriage first, and later made new contributions to the emperor. He invited him to marry him and welcomed Daiyufeng into the Hou residence.

What I can’t see from the main perspective of Illusion Central Plains is that Daiyu and Dingbeihou are married first and then fall in love.
