Chapter 136: Virtuous Concubine
In the end, Liu Qingyu ordered someone to forcibly take Princess Li away.
"In the future, give Concubine Oriole some calming herbs to her food and tonics."
Liu Qingyu's fluttering words sealed the fate of Princess Li.
What's the fuss about?
What a great time to retire.
There is no big boss to serve anymore, and the current emperor is his biological son. Although he has no feelings, he will definitely not shortchange his food and drink expenses.
It is no exaggeration to say that most people had to let her go.
If you have nothing to do, you can play cards, walk around, raise cats and dogs, plant flowers, and bask in the sun. Not to mention how beautiful your little life is.
But she insists on power and status.
These two things should never be given to others at will.
Then we can only let her have a good rest.
After dinner.
Cen Mingche and Liu Qingyu looked at the moon together.
"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas about the status of the harem?"
"You can seal it however you want."
Liu Qingyu chuckled.
"Your Majesty, this is my harem or your harem."
Cen Mingche rolled a strand of Liu Qingyu's hair between his fingers and said lazily: "I don't have time to deal with them anyway. Let's give the two concubines the title of concubine."
"By the way, there's also Jia Yuanchun."
"The Jia family is an old minister of the father and emperor, and he has given her a high position."
"Just make her... a virtuous noble concubine."
If you want to take it, you must first give it.
They occupied so much land, encircled so many tenants, owed so much debt to the treasury, and were parasitic on this dynasty like tumors.
It was time for an operation to remove them all.
"It's hard to climb high and fall heavy... Ha, your Majesty has a good trick."
……
This day was Jia Zheng's birthday, and people from Ning and Rong gathered together to celebrate, and it was very lively.
Suddenly, a doorman hurriedly came in and reported in front of the banquet: "Master Xia, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, has come to deliver an edict."
Jia She, Jia Zheng and others were so frightened that they didn't know what the news was. They hurriedly stopped the play, removed the banquet, set up the incense table, opened the central gate and knelt down to receive it.
Early on, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, arriving on horseback, followed by many internal eunuchs.
That Xia Shouzhong never betrayed the imperial edict, dismounted in front of the eaves, smiled all over his face, walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said in his mouth: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jiazheng to enter the court, see you in the Linjing Hall."
After finishing talking, he didn't even have time to have tea, so he rode off.Jia She and others didn't know what the sign was, so they had to change their clothes and enter the court in a hurry.
Jia's mother and other family members were all in panic, and kept sending people flying to report the news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and three or four other housekeepers panting and running into the ceremony gate to announce the good news. They also said, "By the master's order, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the wife to the court to express gratitude."
Jia's mother was uneasy and stood in the corridor of the lobby.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Sister Yingchun and Aunt Xue are all in one place.
After hearing such a letter, Jia's mother called Lai Da in to ask him carefully.
Lai Dazhen said: "The young ones only waited outside Linjing Gate, and could not know any information inside. Later, Eunuch Xia came out to congratulate him, saying that our eldest daughter was promoted to be the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Xiande Fei. Later. The master also gave the same instructions to the younger one when he came out. Please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies to thank you."
After hearing this, Jia's mother felt at ease, and she couldn't help but beam with joy.
So everyone put on makeup according to style.Jia's mother led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You, a total of four people, into the court in a sedan.Jia She and Jia Zhen also changed their court clothes and led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jia Mu's sedan chair.
As a result, Ning and Rong were all excited and happy, with a look of pride on their faces, and they were laughing and talking.
Then, within a few days, after receiving the imperial decree, the families in the palace were even more excited, which completely swept away the oppressive and bloody atmosphere in the capital.
Everyone in the Jia Mansion was busy measuring the garden and preparing to build a provincial residence.
Starting from the east area of Ningrong's Second Mansion, passing through the garden in the East Mansion, he went to the north and measured three and a half miles. He quickly drew a pattern, and then hurriedly asked people to go to Gusu to hire teachers and purchase girls. Musical instruments and clothing were purchased, while others purchased flowers, candles, lanterns and various curtains and curtains.
Jia Lian got up early in the morning, met Jia She and Jia Zheng, and went to the Ning Mansion to contract with the old stewards and several family friends to inspect the places of the two mansions, renovate the palaces of provincial relatives, and visit the people in charge. .
From then on, craftsmen and servants from all walks of life gathered together to move gold, silver, copper, tin, earth, wood, bricks and tiles without stopping.The shilling craftsmen demolished the walls and pavilions of Huifang Garden of Ning Mansion and moved directly into the east courtyard of Rong Mansion.
All the servants' houses in the east of Rong Mansion have been demolished.
Although the two houses of Ning and Rong were connected by a small alley, they were private land and not an official road, so they could be connected.
Huifang Garden originally drew a stream of living water from under the north corner wall, but now there is no need to draw it again.
Although the rocks and trees there are not enough, Jia She lives in the old garden of Rongfu, where bamboo trees, rocks, pavilions and railings can all be moved here.
The two places are so close together that one can save a lot of money. Even if it is not enough, what can be added is limited.
All thanks to an old Ming Gong who called Shan Ziye wild, he planned and built it one by one.
The children in the family received the work and went about their own work.
A large amount of silver passed through my hands like water. How could any of these people not take advantage of them?They all ate until they were full and their bowls were full.
If you are doing this at home, it will only be worse if you are dealing with state affairs.
Therefore, it consumes a lot.
I don't know how long ago it was, but Jia Zhen and others came back to Jia Zheng on this day: "The projects in the garden have been completed, and the great master has already seen it. I just want to wait for him to see it. If there is anything wrong, we can renovate it so that we can inscribe a plaque on it." couplet."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng pondered for a while and said:
"This couplet on the plaque is a difficult matter. Logically speaking, we should ask the imperial concubine to give us the title. However, if the imperial concubine has not seen the scenery in person, she will probably not be willing to draw it up; if we wait until the imperial concubine is lucky enough to pass by and then ask for the title, the huge scenery, several pavilions Even if the pavilion has no title, it will feel sparse and boring, and even if there are flowers, willows and mountains and rivers, it will definitely not have any color."
All the pilgrims laughed and replied:
"What the old man saw is very true. Now we have a foolish opinion: the couplets on the plaques everywhere are indispensable, and they cannot be named. Now, depending on the scenery, two, three, or four characters may match the meaning. I've drawn it up and hung it as a lantern and plaque for the time being. When the imperial concubine is traveling, please give her a name. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have both?"
Therefore, Jia Zheng took Baoyu and Qingke for a tour and wrote couplets and plaques, which was lively and elegant.
Daiyu was lazily sewing in her room.
The main people serving around him were Cui Yu and Zhu Yu.
In this era, a woman in her 30s or [-]s should be called mama.
If you get married on time, you can become a grandmother around the age of 30.
Therefore, Cui Yu and Zhu Yu were naturally promoted to Aunt Ji and Aunt Hua.
The two of them no longer have to do anything in person, but exist as Dinghai Shenzhen.
Especially Nanny Ji, she adopted Xueyan as her daughter and taught her her good skills in making medicinal food.
With these two people helping Lin Daiyu take care of her body, and her father and brother are still alive, sister Lin's health is getting better day by day.
However, although the Lin family returned to the capital, Jia's mother always kept Daiyu by her side because of old age and frailty and missing her daughter.Every time Daiyu returned to the Lin family, Jia Mu would send someone to pick her up soon after.
"Sister Lin!"
