Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0176 Rewarding Blessings is as generous as running water, gifting fireworks and Daiyu Dao Sirui

The empress dowager's family was in decline in her early years, and she had suffered enough as a woman.So she mostly takes care of the girl.She said that the emperor did not do well enough in this matter, not smooth and meticulous.The emperor didn't say anything, and felt that what she said was right, but he was not perfect enough, so he bowed his head and remained silent.Once my head is hot, I can't care about anything.

The Empress Dowager asked him to think from the standpoint of his daughter's family before doing things: "It's not easy for a girl to live a whole life in this world. She must be chaste and virtuous at home, otherwise it will be bad news. Not only my own marriage is affected, but my sisters are also suffering together. The morals of the world are unfair to girls. As the emperor, you should take care of these things for the queen. No matter how virtuous the queen is, it won't help."

These are all words from the bottom of my heart. The courtiers said it was for the sake of the country, but if the emperor went out of line, he always blamed it on the empress and Liugong. Have you ever thought that arrogance is your own choice, and others can't live it Intervene more.

The emperor is a person who is willing to correct. He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing this, he realized that gossip doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. The more eye-catching they are, the more they spread it.

"Everything my ancestor said is reasonable. I will think more and worry more in the future, and I will never harm the queen because of my own will."

The Empress Dowager didn't want to get involved in this matter, seeing that the time was almost up, she ordered Zhou Shou to pass on the meal and asked the emperor to stay and eat together.While having lunch, she also thought about Gui Ji's matter carefully, and an idea came up in her heart, and she told the emperor about it.

The emperor grew up in front of the empress dowager, so he naturally knew about Gui Ji.This girl used to take care of the Empress Dowager's tea, because she felt that she was thoughtful and light-handed, and King He Rui was getting older that day, so she blindly refused to stay in the capital and go to the border to fight.The Empress Dowager was worried, so she bestowed on Gui Ji and asked her to serve King He Rui.

She did have that heart in the beginning, thinking that even though her son is old enough to be unwilling to marry a wife, there should be someone around him who knows what's cold and what's hot.But if King He Rui didn't have that kind of heart, he would just treat him like an ordinary servant.When Guiji gets older, he will find a suitable person to marry him.Unexpectedly, Guiji felt that he was an "imperial envoy", and his heart gradually grew up, becoming extremely arrogant.He offended Lin Jue on the way back to Beijing, that was the meat of King He Rui's heart, how could he tolerate her again.When we returned to the capital, the first thing we did was to return the man to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager naturally followed her son, and also felt that Gui Ji was getting old, so she simply sent him out.Thinking of rewarding her self-deserving, no matter what, it would be enough for her for several lifetimes.Unexpectedly, in the end, a gambler was picked out, not just money, but paid out his entire life.

"I know what my ancestors mean." The empress dowager was soft-hearted, and she served her all those years from morning to night, even if she did something wrong that day, she couldn't bear Gui Jizhen to fall into that situation.If it is anything else, it is just a matter of one sentence.But Gui Ji offended Lin Jue in the first place, so this matter has to be taken seriously.

The emperor said: "She was sent down by Uncle Seventeen himself. Now that she is in this situation, it can be regarded as reciprocal retribution. Although she served her ancestors with all her heart, it was indeed her benefit. But how did the ancestors treat her back then? , I see it all in my eyes. I don’t know how to respect myself, so it’s no wonder others.”

"Why isn't this the truth? As a girl, the most taboo thing is greed, laziness, high-sightedness and low-handedness. I didn't want to pay attention to it, but I heard Gui Lan say that her husband wanted to pressure her to do something..." Mrs. The empress dowager is used to being pampered and pampered, and the word "secret door" is really hard to say.But the emperor also roughly understood. "Your Seventeenth Uncle and Lin Zijing are both open-minded people. They only said not to serve her, and they didn't intend to take her life. A girl who was thrown into fireworks, is it any different from being dead?"

"Did the ancestors want to save people, or did they want to recruit people to serve?"

Finally got to the bottom line, the Empress Dowager said: "I want to leave this matter to Daiyu, and let her handle it as she pleases. For one thing, she is now outside, making it cheaper for people to go out to do things, unlike Our inner court always sends people out with great fanfare. Second, she is Lin Zijing's direct sister. I offended my brother, but my sister couldn't bear it, so she took action to settle the matter. It seems that the queen has the demeanor of a mother. Merciful and magnanimous."

She paused, and saw the emperor eating a piece of dried mullet fish with chopsticks in a slow manner, with a calm expression, unable to see whether he agreed or disagreed.

"What does the emperor mean?"

"What does the ancestor ask me?" The emperor stopped his movements and casually put the unfinished fish preserves on the plate, and then looked at the empress dowager calmly. "I don't want the queen to intervene in this matter. They are all rascals in the market. If the queen condescends to do this, it is really overkill. That girl has no relationship with the queen. She shouldn't be in love with the queen. Queen's errand."

"emperor……"

He raised his hand to signal the Empress Dowager to stop first: "Old Ancestor, let your grandson finish this. I said it just now, and I understand what you mean. You want the Queen to be closer to the people so that they can get closer. You know, the empress is the model of women in the world, and the true mother of the country."

A queen who is loved by the people is far more stable than a queen who is only favored by the emperor.If the emperor is a wise king, he should listen to the opinions of the people more, which is called conforming to the opinions of the people.The empress dowager wanted Daiyu to do this, not only to save Guiji, but also to let Daiyu lay the foundation of being virtuous and friendly to the people.It's just that it's a girl who served in the inner court before, and the queen can still take care of her.The misery of other people is even more out of the question.

Although the emperor acted vigorously and resolutely, he never insisted on going his own way.He has always wanted to be a good emperor, love the people like his son, and take protecting the country and the country as his duty.So there are many things, although he doesn't want to do it, he is unwilling to do it, but he will still let it go.

Just like now.

"I understand the meaning of the old ancestor. In this case, after a while, I will send someone out to spread the word, so that the queen can handle this matter."

It's not too late to do this matter, but it's too late for anything at night.

The empress dowager talked to the emperor again about the winter solstice night: "Tonight is the winter solstice, the emperor must remember to write the word 'Fu'. This year, our Murong family has many happy events, and we have appointed a queen in the palace. Write some, distribute it to the kings and ministers, and share Long En."

Every year on the night of the winter solstice, there is another rule besides writing.Most of the emperors were unknown all night, so they wrote the word "Fu" in Sanxi Hall.The doors in the palace had to be pasted with the emperor's own handwriting.In addition to those used in the inner court, there are extra decent royal houses, and the emperor will give extra rewards to show his kindness to the ministers.

It was not for the purpose of fighting the Supreme Emperor, but the emperor just didn't like to use the servants that the Supreme Emperor used to, he preferred to use those who followed him all the way.People like Sun Shaoxian and Chen Juan are the emperor's right-hand men.Therefore, the word "Fu" on the winter solstice in previous years basically did not belong to the Lin family, and Lin Hai did not look forward to it.

This year is different, the Lin family has a queen, the emperor can't wait to write "Fu" in one hundred and eight styles, and send them all to the Lin family, so that Daiyu can pick them.

Xi Shiyue came all the way holding the word "Fu", which is different from the emperor going out of the garden privately, what he wants is a big fanfare.He led two rows of sixteen young eunuchs, and walked on the road mightily, wearing black cloud boots embroidered with big bats, all of which were embroidered stitch by stitch by court ladies.Although they are eunuchs, eunuchs in the palace also pay attention to their appearance.So clean and handsome little eunuchs, walking on the road makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

As soon as Xi Shiyue left the Old Summer Palace, someone came to report the news. Lin Hai was waiting early in the morning, waiting for him to come.Although he is an eunuch, he is an envoy sent by the emperor, so Lin Hai gave him face and greeted him from the main gate.After Xi Shiyue arrived, he did not enter the door immediately. Instead, he held up the cloud plate and said in a loud voice: "The emperor bestowed eighteen pieces of 'Fu' in the imperial pen, two pieces of brocade from the sky, a pair of red coral, cloud bat and Ganoderma lucidum, and red sandalwood. A set of writing boxes..."

After the long list was finished, Xi Shiyue congratulated Lin Hai with a smile on his face: "Master Lin, please accept the order."

Lin Hai naturally smiled and ordered someone to take it, and then invited Xi Shiyue to take the seat.

Xi Shiyue repeatedly waved his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty dare not, Mr. Lin has beaten this slave. To be honest, this slave came back and wanted to say hello to your mother."

This is what it means to see Daiyu.There are eunuchs on the left and right, so it's okay to see them.

Lin Hai asked Xi Shiyue to go to Jiangzhulou, but when he got closer, he found a circle of people in the courtyard of Jiangzhulou.Lin Hai pulled a girl and asked, "What are you doing?"

The girl replied: "Go back to the master, the empress is leading the second master and the second girl to set off fireworks."

She said she was leading them to let go, but Daiyuzhen was very quiet, usually watching them play from the sidelines.I was so troubled that I couldn't help it, so I carefully took one in my hand.If you really want her to spin around and laugh, it's really not something she can do.

When I got closer, I saw Daiyu sitting on the flying chair under the veranda, watching Xunyu and Lin Jue setting off fireworks with a smile.The fireworks are not big, just for children to play.Hold it in your hand and ignite it, and it will twinkle like a star.It doesn't burn if it is splashed, at most there are two holes in the clothes.

Xunyu and Lin Jue love to fight in everything, even if it is setting off fireworks, they can score light and shade.

At this moment, Xunyu was pulling Daiyu's sleeve to ask her to make a decision: "Big sister, tell me, my fireworks are brighter and more beautiful?"

Daiyu really didn't understand, what's there to compare this to, is there any sense of accomplishment after winning this?She looked at Lin Jue, but saw that Lin Jue was depressed today and didn't speak. He just stared at the fireworks in his hand in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

She was about to speak, but Ji Xue said: "Madam, the master has brought Mr. Xi here."

Xi Shiyue is coming to present the word "Fu" today, which is something that the entire Lin family knows.I thought that he should go back after delivering it, and would not stay longer, but I didn't expect him to have this kind of heart, and he still wanted to come to pay his respects as usual.

Daiyu got up to greet her, and nodded to Lin Hai first: "Master is here." Then she invited Xi Shiyue to sit in the back room: "Jixue, bring me some tea."

Xi Shiyue was really terrified and proud that the empress could come over to greet him, and even open her mouth to serve him tea. He didn't dare to tell Zhou Laiyun about such decency, for fear of turning around and angering him to death.

He came back this time because he had a serious business to pass on the emperor's oral order and to leave Gui Ji's affairs to her.So in addition to those rewards, the emperor also ordered him to bring the empress's phoenix seal, just to make things more convenient for her.

Daiyu didn't say anything else, it's not a difficult task, she nodded immediately and said: "I know, after the winter solstice, I will order people to do this tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, this is the Phoenix Seal." The Phoenix Seal is very heavy, one size bigger than the Yuxi Seal, and it is made of pure gold.Even a young eunuch couldn't hold it up, so two people had to hold the cloud disk at the same time, so that it could be safely delivered to Daiyu.Xi Shiyue said with a smile: "You take a look at the cover, my servant?"

Daiyu had never seen the Phoenix Seal before, so she felt curious at the moment, so she nodded and said, "Open it and let me see."

As expected, Xi Shiyue raised his hand to open the lid of the box, and joined forces with another eunuch to lift up the phoenix seal and bring it to Daiyu so that she could see it carefully.But on the phoenix seal lay a majestic and majestic Pixiu, surrounded by deep and shallow phoenix patterns.Xi Shiyue held up the bottom of the phoenix seal for her to see, only to see the four characters "Mother Yi Tianxia" engraved on it in seal script.

"Why is it the mother's ceremonial world?" Daiyu wondered: "It is said in the drama that it is the 'Empress's Seal'."

"That's about the Dacheng Dynasty." Xi Shiyue put the phoenix seal back into the box and explained: "Emperor Ji Yi'an of the Dacheng Dynasty was also the first queen of the Daming Dynasty, and her posthumous title was Yuanmin. The original seal The phoenix seal engraved with the 'Empress's Seal' was also carved in jade, so she was buried with her."

Even the queen's phoenix seal is called a funeral?Daiyu was surprised, she had never heard of such a thing.I thought that when I saw the emperor next time, I would have to ask him more carefully, which sounds very interesting.

When something happened here, Xi Shiyue was going to resign and go back to the garden to return to his orders.Daiyu agreed first, but when she saw that he was about to go out, she called him again: "Come back!"

"My lady, please tell me." Xi Shiyue came back and stood still.

"There is something, you bring it to the emperor for me." Daiyu thought of an idea, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, then whispered to her ears, "Take some fireworks sticks and put them in the worship box." .”

Jixue paused for a moment, want to send fireworks sticks to the emperor?

Seeing that she was not moving meaningfully, Daiyu urged again: "Go!"

Jixue had no choice but to go inside, quietly grabbed some firework sticks, found a box to put them in, and then sealed it tightly.When she came back and handed it to Xi Shiyue, she wiped away tears of sympathy for the chief executive.He took this all the way back, and the emperor said something childlike when he was happy, but he might hit him head and face when he was unhappy.

Pian Daiyu also added an extra sentence: "You are not allowed to open it to peek, if I find out, I will not forgive you."

"Yes, I remember it." Xi Shiyue knew that this thing was weird when he heard it, but he wasn't worried at all.Even if it was just a weed given by the empress, the emperor would surely offer it up as a beautiful flower.

Daiyu secretly wondered how the emperor would feel when he saw that thing.Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing.She was happy, and went out quickly, only to see that Lin Jue had stopped playing with fireworks, and was sitting on the stone bench in a daze.Just now Xunyu wanted to fight him to the death, but now she was worried about him, and sat by the side to talk with him.

"It's so cold on the stone bench, can one or both of you want to get sick?" Daiyu went over and pulled them up one by one: "It's you who said you want to play with the fireworks, and it's you who are sitting like quails now. What's the matter, tell me, and I will distinguish it for you."

Lin Jue stiffened his neck and said nothing, Xunyu watched anxiously: "Big sister, it's not that we don't want to play, it's the master who doesn't let us."

Lin Hai won't allow it?Daiyu was taken aback, when did this happen?

Lan Ling took a step forward and stood behind her ear and replied: "Ms. Jiangcai is in the room listening to Mr. Xi's reply, while Mr. Lin is in the yard, reprimanding the second master for being ignorant and indolent..."

I'm afraid that in the future, he will be a bully who can't accomplish anything and drag relatives and friends down.

The words were so harsh that even Lan Ling didn't dare to say it directly.But even the first two sentences are embarrassing enough.To set off fireworks happily, but to be reprimanded so endlessly, it would be uncomfortable for anyone else.

She had persuaded Lin Hai once before, but she didn't expect that he would still be unable to calm down in the end.

"Come on, let me set off a firework and you can see."

Daiyu asked Jixue to light a firework and held it in her hand, the amber starlight splashed out sparklingly, illuminating half of the person's face softly and brightly.She smiled and raised the firework stick to Lin Jue and Xunyu: "Look, how beautiful it is."

Xunyu's mind was not as heavy as that of Lin Jue's, and when she saw the fireworks, she forgot all the troubles just now.I also picked up a firework, lit it and waved it up and down.

"Big sister, second brother, look, if you swing fast, you can still leave a ray of light..."

"Be careful!" Seeing her running, Daiyu wanted to laugh, but worried at the same time: "Don't fall."

There was also a longing light in Lin Jue's eyes, but it was like a shooting star, which quickly went out.He rarely showed this kind of expression in the past, but in the past two days he has shown it more diligently, which makes people feel distressed.

"Si Rui, why are you upset?" Daiyu pulled him to sit on the Feilai chair, where there was a thick cushion left early in the morning. "Tell me, if what the master did hurt your heart, I will persuade the master, okay?"

Lin Jue usually looks at the sky and the earth without fear, but facing his gentle and considerate elder sister, he is extremely fragile.There were tears in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to cry in front of others.

After finally suppressing the tears, he said in a nasal voice: "I really miss big brother. Only big brother likes me, only big brother supports me to do what I want to do, and tells me that there is no way out in the world only by studying, Learning martial arts can also protect the country."

But the eldest brother is not at home, no one thinks he is good.

"Nonsense, don't I like Si Rui?" Daiyu wanted to hug him, but thought that he was already seven years old, so she had to change her movements and rubbed the back of his head behind her: "You are my brother, you are my wife. The one who was conceived and raised in October is the master's son, who in our family would not like you?"

Lin Jue was not soothed by these words, and even felt that Daiyu was lying to deceive herself, so she was even more sad: "Master and wife both love quilt moon, and feel that I am inferior, stupid, and unable to read."

"Even if you are a fool, your close relatives will still love you and love you. Good brother, listen to me, don't think so anymore, it was you who wanted to scare yourself."

Lin Jue raised his head and met Daiyu's eyes, his eyes were as bright as gems, and there was loss, anger, and sadness engraved in them.

"Master only gave me Biaozi when I was three years old. My name is Si Rui. I heard that my elder brother and Beiyue started to get Biaozi after they were raised. One is called Zijing and the other is called Ziqi. I am the only one who is different. I knew early on that the master doesn't like me from the bottom of his heart. He thinks I'm naughty and useless!"

Where did he come from so many strange ideas at such a young age?Daiyu felt worried when he heard it, did he think so on weekdays?She sighed helplessly, Lin Hai always said that he was disappointed in Lin Jue, how did he know that Lin Jue was also very disappointed in him as a father.

Lin Jue is Lin Hai's most proud son. He was enlightened at the age of three and entered school at the age of five.At that time, he was also free in Yangzhou, and taught him personally.Such an amazingly talented son was no different from being lost later.Lin Jue's aptitude is far from that of Lin Jue's, and it's not that Lin Hai doesn't love him, it's just that the gap between the comparisons is difficult to balance.

"Do you know why the master has treated you so harshly all these years?" Daiyu touched his head, persuading him, and she is bound to turn his thoughts back today: "Si Rui, who does the master expect more from you?" Dushen, he hopes that you can support the Lin family and be the pillar of our family. It's not that he doesn't love you, but he knows in his heart that if you indulge you wantonly, it will harm you. "

Parents are really partial.I'm an only child, so I don't feel very deeply.But I have a friend who has an older brother and a younger brother, and she is the second.The youngest brother is often neglected, sometimes it is really pitiful.

In addition, let me explain that Lin Jue is a college student who has traveled through the past in modern times. His thinking is a little more advanced than all the characters in the article, and he does not believe in the supremacy of reading.
