Chapter 281: Concubine Xiande is here
Daiyu said: "I'm all my own relatives. I've lived in the Rong Mansion for so long. How can my brother and sister-in-law say goodbye? But I don't know everything about the Lin family. I'm sick, and I'm raising it in the house, so my brother and sister-in-law aren't in a hurry, right?"
How could Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng force Daiyu to rummage through boxes now? But if they can get a letter of consent from the Lin family, they can also explain to their elders when they return to the house.
Daiyu didn't stay because Lin Ruhai was ill, but Lin Ruhai had the energy to let them move in after tidying up some things. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng didn't stay much and left.
Daiyu went back to the back hall to see Yingchun and asked what to do about it.
Yingchun said: "The Rong Mansion has already opened its mouth, and you can't refuse it. It's a shame that a pair of big fools, brother and sister-in-law, make wedding clothes for her. Now that the Rong Mansion's inner bag has been exhausted, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. "
Daiyu said curiously, "Concubine Xiande... The second sister is not optimistic about her?"
Yingchun said: "The palace is full of flowers, and beautiful women are like clouds. Concubine Xiande has been in the palace for eight years, but the royal father can't remember to point her to several princes as a side concubine. What do you think it is?"
Daiyu said, "Isn't that saying that Concubine Xiande has extraordinary looks and talents?"
Yingchun said: "My father doesn't want the descendants of the Rong family to mess with Conglong's achievements. He really cares about his grandfather. Brother Lian, Brother Zhen, Baoyu, which one is capable?"
Daiyu said: "At this time, the Sage has already settled firmly in the country, and there will be no more worries."
Yingchun said: "You're right, the sage has taken a firm seat in the country, but the queen and the four concubines have also taken their place. Where can there be a virtuous concubine? The old man has no children, qualifications, and merits from his father and brother. The newcomer is not young and tender, and the newcomer's family has useful father and brother. What do you think the virtuous concubine has?"
"Fengzao Palace Minister..." Daiyu murmured, knowing that the eldest cousin really has no advantage, "the eldest cousin has you."
Yingchun laughed and said, "I won't help her."
"Why? Will it be dangerous?" In Daiyu's eyes, the second sister had always been amiable and lovable, even though she was a little more humble in her earlier years.
Yingchun said: "I'm not that cheap."
Yingchun briefly described the situation of living in Rongqingtang when he was a child. Yuanchun, Baoyu and Yingchun were raised in Rongqingtang together. Without comparison, there is no harm.
"When she is strong and I am weak, she doesn't treat me as a person; when I am strong and weak, don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't step on her foot and let her enjoy a few years of honor is my only attitude."
Daiyu was stunned for a long time, remembering the cold treatment she suffered from some high-eyed servants after she entered the Rong Mansion. She was still favored by her grandmother, but Yingchun was not favored.
Because she is a guest, she is not rude to her sisters, and the second sister also pity her that she lost her mother, and the two get along well.
Daiyu sighed, "Now that I think about it, Baoyu really shouldn't be left in such a wasteland."
Yingchun said: "Who can he listen to? To put it nicely, he is pity for his sister and sister, but at the root of it, it's just a generosity to others. Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is nothing."
Daiyu said, "If I see him, I will advise him to study hard, and I hope he will listen to my advice for the sake of my eldest cousin."
When Yingchun heard this, she was stunned for a moment, thinking about the scene where Daiyu tried to persuade Baoyu to study, but he kept away, and said with a smile, "Fantastic! Although I myself don't get involved in the affairs of the concubine Xiande, if you persuade Baoyu to go upright. In the future, I am happy to see the success of Concubine Xiande."
…
The next day, Lin Ruhai was already well, so he gathered a few Lin House butlers, opened the warehouse, ordered something to be registered in the register, in duplicate, ready to be carried by the Rong House.
Lin Ruhai has already been working at home anyway, and he has been his own housekeeper this year. He used to be an official of the Salt Administration, and he was used to his account. The only serious masters in the family were him and Daiyu, so he could handle this small family clearly.
Jia Lian brought people to move a carload of things to another courtyard. Lin Ruhai also brought Daiyu to the door to see Jia's mother, and Jia's mother naturally took Daiyu to make out, and Lin Ruhai went to see Jia She and Jia Zheng.
Lin Ruhai was able to negotiate with Jia Zheng before, but Jia Zheng is not as absurd as Jia She. But Lin Ruhai now estimates that the matter of the virtuous concubine is nothing more than a false excitement that cannot be clearly broken, and the position of Princess Yu of Yingchun is as stable as Mount Tai, so she is not the position of a princess, and she is also a strange person. In the future, the second room is going to collapse, and the big room still has a daughter as a backer. He can also talk about antiques of gold and stone to Jia She.
In addition to the things from the Lin Mansion, the Ning Mansion, Wang Family, and Xue Family also borrowed some ornaments. Even if the furnishings are not as luxurious as the original, they will not be empty.
Yingchun doesn't care about the Rong Mansion. Sima Xuan and Li Shuo went to the Southwest Jinglue, and they won't be back in a short time. She has perfected her immortality, and now she is more at ease.
Yingchun entered the palace every three days of the twelfth lunar month to speak with the queen mother and the queen. At these times, she can get rewards every day, not the queen mother's reward, but the emperor's reward. She also reciprocates, and often goes to the palace to contact her feelings. Nowadays, the treasury and the internal treasury are not short of treasures. The emperor now relies heavily on Sima Xuan, and he treats his concubine in Beijing well.
After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the princes still have to go to school, but the princesses have all been liberated. Yingchun brought Daiyu into the palace to find the princess to play, and "abandoned" the queen mother and queen. Princess Shoukang, Princess Zhaoren, Princess Anning, Princess Ankang, and Princess Anping gathered around Yingchun to learn the "Jade Xiao Sword Technique".
The girls had a great time learning. After practicing for a long time, the girls had to rest, so they rested in the pavilion and had refreshments.
Yingchun took her jade flute and played the song "The Wild Waves of the Blue Sea", which combined her rhythm skills of tens of thousands of years, and the thrill of Zhang Suluo who was rescued by Guanyin and later left Luojia Mountain and met Shanghai Yaksha at sea. made to rely on.
On the turbulent sea, I fought with the enemy for one round - no victory, another round - still invincible, forced by the situation - never surrender, the decision to die generously, and finally got a ray of life, life continued, the past only Keep memories, Jianghai Yunyue.
Daiyu is proficient in poetry, but not proficient in rhythm. She studied with Jia Yucun, who was a jinshi, when she was a child. But then she entered Jia's house, and Sanchun followed Li Wan to study, and there was no chance to meet people who were good at rhythm.
Daiyu sees the spring spirit, fingers, tongue, and lips are superbly controlled. In one piece, she shows various playing skills: vibrato, boeing, doubling, giving, beating, tonguing...
As keen as she is, she can also find the difference between various techniques. According to the score, the effect of playing with these techniques is different.
Accompanied by the flute music, she seemed to be in the blue sea, fighting against the waves, and survived nine deaths. Daiyu couldn't help staring at the sky, and she was fascinated. At this time, she was healthy and learned martial arts, so she was different from the petty temperament she used to be.
In the twelfth lunar month, the emperor was no longer in court, but he still paid attention to the war in the south, and also saw the dispatch of spies from various places. After finishing the work in the study today, I went to the Royal Garden and heard such a heroic and beautiful flute sound, so I searched for the sound, and saw that it was Shouliang, Zhaoren and the others playing with Princess Yu, and the piper was Yingchun.
The emperor didn't bother, listening to this song, like facing the sea, it is really a fairy technique.
Yingchun took the flute, patted Zhaoren's arm, and said, "Your father is here."
Only then did Zhaoren wake up from his own imagination, and with a sigh, he turned his head to see the emperor, hurried over to greet him, and the other princesses followed.
The emperor walked into the pavilion and took a seat, watching his daughter, sister, and younger siblings play. He was over forty years old, and he also regarded Yingchun as his daughter.
At this time, Yingchun and Daiyu went to ask the ceremony, Yingchun only blessed her body, and Daiyu paid homage with the state ceremony.
When the emperor saw Daiyu, he couldn't help but admire: What a beautiful girl!
These royal princesses have all been compared.
The emperor said: "Brother and sister, this is..."
Yingchun said: "She is my cousin, the daughter of Uncle Lin, the former imperial envoy of Yangzhou salt inspector, and I have always been the best, so I brought her into the palace to play with the princesses."
The emperor said, "Lin Ruhai's daughter? The one who was engaged to the Duke of Dingbei?"
Yingchun smiled and said, "Brother Huang knows this too?"
The emperor said: "I heard the eleventh brother mention it. So young?"
Yingchun smiled and said: "With this fate, it's not a big deal if there is a difference of ten or eight years."
The emperor took another look at Daiyu and praised: "You are a talented man and a girl!"
Yingchun said: "Brother Huang, I see that you are in a good mood. Could it be that there is some good news from the south?"
The emperor knew that she cared about Sima Xuan, but he didn't want to participate in politics. He smiled and said, "There is news from Yungui that Li Shuo has been training as a soldier for half a year. On the eighth day of last month, he stopped the Burmese army in the car and killed 3,000 enemies!"
Yingchun smiled and said: "It really is the champion of my dynasty! Congratulations to the emperor, brother Hexi!"
The emperor sighed: "It's just that the Marquis of Dingbei said that the main force of the Burmese army is still there. The tunnel guns they bought from Xiyang are more advanced than the main equipment of my Chaoshenji camp. Therefore, the war in the south cannot be solved for a while."
Yingchun said: "I also met the Duke of Dingbei when I was in Jiangsu. He is a natural fighting material. He has also studied fire guns in Liaodong for a few years, and he should be able to deal with the Burmese army."
The emperor shook his head and said, "How can I temporarily supervise the manufacture of fire guns? I can't let Li Shuo make guns while fighting."
Yingchun would not ask the emperor to supervise the manufacture of guns, and said: "Why doesn't the emperor also buy from Westerners? The war is like fire, first buy them to deal with the enemy, and then let our craftsmen copy them."
The emperor sighed: "Are Western guns really so advanced? My dynasty's spears, swords, and Shenji battalions can't handle it..."
Yingchun said: "I'm afraid it is. How exquisite are Western clocks and clocks, with this technology, is the time more advanced than ours? Xunzi said it well, 'The nature of a gentleman is not different, and he is good at things.' Western things If they are better than us and stronger than us, they can beat us. What happens to a swordsman with a sword in his hand to a person without a sword in his hand, even a three-year-old child knows. Plows are used to dig directly without hands; weaving machines are used to weave fabrics, and they are no longer woven directly by hands; ancients used stone axes to cut meat, but now we use knives. People's progress is made by the power of things, not anything else. What they don't understand is classified as 'weird tricks'. They are just afraid that the emperor will not take them as officials, but take strange people who can create things as officials. I never believe those nonsense."
The emperor was a cold-faced king back then, with a very extreme personality. If he hated anyone, he hated it very much, and he treated anyone he liked very favorably. Many officials in the DPRK were dissatisfied with the emperor's succession, but there were also some capable ministers who were loyal to his troubles, and Li Chong, the prefect of Yangzhou at that time, was one of them.
Fortunately, Yingchun belongs to the type of person he likes, even if he doesn't like the current Rongguo Mansion.
The emperor suddenly said: "With the martial arts of the eleventh brother against the Western spear, who wins and who loses?"
"Western gun wins."
The emperor was stunned for a while, and said, "What's the use of learning martial arts?"
Yingchun said: "Strengthen your body. Besides, if the lord also has a Western gun in his hand and fights against another person with the same weapon, then the lord will definitely win."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw the **** Gong E in front of him, hugging a beautiful woman in yellow robes.
Yingchun said lightly: "It's Concubine Xiande who is here."
