Chapter 569 Sister Feng: These rewards come one after another, and everyone
Confused
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
With Emperor Chongping approving Xu Lu's proposal, the rectification of Kedao Qingliu came to an end, and then the border affairs of Peiping were discussed, and finally a task was assigned. The cabinet, together with the Military Aircraft Department, would provide military supplies to Li Zan who was guarding the northern border.
supply.
After the discussion was over, Emperor Chongping first asked the cabinet and Xu Lu and others from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to leave the palace after receiving the decree. Then he looked at the people at the Military Aircraft Department, and his eyes fell on the first-class son Liu Fang and the prince Jin Xiaoyu of Xining County.
.
"Liu Qing." Emperor Chongping suddenly asked.
Liu Fang cupped her hands and said, "I'm here."
Emperor Chongping muttered: "The cabinet has just discussed the difficulties in Beiping Mansion, and you have heard it. Now the Beiping Commandery Department is in short supply of military supplies, military equipment, and armor. I have decided to send you, Liu Qing, as the supervising imperial envoy to go there."
The Beiping Mansion is fully responsible for supervising the supply of military supplies and supplies."
After all, there was no big mistake in adjusting Liu Fang's position, so we couldn't move it too hastily. Now, he was sent from the military aircraft department to Peiping, taking the opportunity to remove the former military commander from his position as Tongzhi, and then gradually take away his position as military aircraft driver.
The military aircraft department should have people coming in and going out.
When Liu Fang heard this, she was startled and became anxious. She quickly raised her hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty went to the north to inspect the border and was not in the Former Military Governor's Mansion. There are many affairs in the Military Mansion. I still need to sit in the Former Military Governor's Mansion to handle military affairs. I'm afraid
You can’t go north.”
In order to prevent Emperor Chongping from thinking that he was cowardly, Liu Fang said: "When the prince comes from the north to check the border, I will go to northern Xinjiang."
"Didn't Liu Qing say just now that he was going to Henan to rush for reinforcements? How come the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is so busy with affairs?" Emperor Chongping frowned, his face was indifferent, and his calm eyes fell on Liu Fang.
Liu Fang opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.
His heart gradually sank to the bottom, and the emperor really "took action" against him. Although he did not remove his title this time, he was sent to Peking Mansion to transport grain. This kind of errand, if something went wrong, it would be easy to get rid of him.
crime.
He is not Wang Ziteng. He has always worked diligently and made no mistakes. Why should the emperor treat him so harshly?
Emperor Chongping withdrew his oppressive eyes and said in a gentler voice: "Liu Qing is a general, wise and courageous. He can transport military supplies and grains without any loss. This matter is related to the general's strategy in Northern Xinjiang. This military plane is in the middle.
Only Liu Qing has been in the army for many years and has become mature and prudent. Now there are many things to do in the defense of northern Xinjiang. National talents like Liu Qing are urgently needed to assist and supervise the transportation of food and wages. As for the military affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, there are currently a military aircraft department and a military department.
If all ministers and workers work together to deal with it, it will not delay the important matter, Liu Qing, don't refuse."
Seeing the emperor talking about this, Liu Fang did not dare to refuse, for fear of irritating the emperor, she looked straight, cupped her hands and said: "I obey the order."
But there was a sense of frustration and weakness in his heart. He had been "demoted" from the central government to a local government, and although the position of former military governor and co-inspector was not mentioned, there was a high probability that he would also be removed.
It’s all that Jia Heng kid!
At this moment, seeing Liu Fang being "expelled" from the military aircraft office, Shi Guangzhu, the commander-in-chief of the former army, Hou Xiaokang, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, General Ma Shang of Weiyuan and others all looked unhappy.
As for Jin Xiaoyu, the son of the Prince of Xining County, his handsome face was almost as cold and gloomy as water.
Is the emperor "settling accounts" for what happened the day before yesterday, or is he venting his anger on Jia Ziyu?
Probably a bit of both!
He didn't know what that kid could do. If he wasn't lucky enough to predict the situation in Henan, what else could he do?
As for the so-called victory in the first battle, haha, they were just bandits and a ragtag group of people. Jia Heng's son actually led 80,000 infantry and cavalry to fight and waste food. If he led the troops to put down the rebellion, he only needed 3,000 elite cavalry to wipe out the chaos in Henan!
Mu Sheng, the son of Prince Dongping, frowned for a moment, then slowly relaxed his brows, and sighed in his heart.
When Shi Ding saw this scene, his eyes flashed under his thin eyebrows, and he shook his head secretly.
Nowadays, the Jia family and the other four kings and five princes, whether it is because of Niu Zhenguo's successor, or because of Xining County King and Li Guogong, they have a sense of power. The four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue are connected with each other.
It is also difficult to be alone.
But speaking of it, the Duke of Zhen's house was expelled, and the other five Dukes' houses could not resolve the grudges of Duke Liu Fang.
Shi Jie and several military aircraft from the Ministry of War watched with cold eyes the internal struggle within Wu Xun.
Emperor Chongping saw the changing expressions of Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu, Hou Xiaokang and others, his heart was cold and his face was motionless.
Now that Liu Fang has been kicked out of the Military Aircraft Department, it is a bit difficult to deal with the Prince of Xining County. The general was originally selected to enter the Military Aircraft Department just to appease the Prince of Xining County. He needs to reconsider.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongping no longer kept a few people around. He glanced at the ministers and said: "There are many military affairs, please go down and get busy."
"I'll take my leave."
After hearing this, all the ministers bowed their hands and left.
Liu Fang, Jin Xiaoyu and others left the palace with heavy hearts and gloomy faces.
Shi Guangzhu sighed and said comfortingly to Liu Fang: "Brother Liu Shi, don't be depressed. Supervise the food and salary management and ensure that the food and fodder for the army are worry-free. In the future, there will still be a day to be crowned and rewarded when the merits are recounted."
Liu Fang said angrily: "Why can't you let that kid do such a good job?"
He didn't dare to express any resentment just now, but he felt aggrieved and angry.
Jin Xiaoyu said coldly: "He is His Majesty's favorite. There is no chance that he will become a son-in-law in the future. How can he be willing to do such hard work?"
"My dear brother, be careful what you say." Ma Shang, the third-ranking Weiyuan general, frowned and said in a low voice: "How dare you talk about such matters of the Tian family?"
"I'm not telling you that there are some rumors inside and outside the palace. Let's not say that Princess Xianning often went to the military aircraft office to see him. Now she followed him all the way to Luoyang regardless of the difference between men and women. I'm really puzzled.
In the future, this man named Jia will be able to divorce the daughter of Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and marry another princess. At that time, it would be nice to divorce his wife and marry another princess." Jin Xiaoyu snorted and said with a sneer.
His father is the king of Xining County, in the northwest of Shizhen. Even if the emperor hears a word he says, what will happen?
Everyone looked at each other.
Mu Sheng shook his head, in response to the discussions among several people. He looked at Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, who was slowly walking from the gate of the Vermilion Palace, and called out: "Shibo."
Shi Ding smiled and said: "Nephew Mu, it's already noon, let's go have a few drinks together."
He glanced at a few people and invited them politely: "Guys, a new restaurant has opened in Jiahefang. The braised lion's head is pretty good. Why don't you go and have a few drinks?"
Hou Xiaokang said politely: "Shibo, my nephew has to go back to the Governor's Mansion to be a director, so I'm sorry I can't go."
"That's really unfortunate." Shi Ding said regretfully, then smiled at a few people and said, "Let's say goodbye first and see you at the military aircraft department."
After saying that, he took the horse's reins from the boy servant not far away, then turned to look at Mu Sheng, the son of King Dongping County, and asked: "Nephew Mu Xian, let's go?"
Mu Sheng nodded and agreed with a smile.
While the two were talking, Liu Fang and others parted ways.
Watching the two people leaving, Liu Fang snorted coldly and said: "A raccoon dog from a hill, a nest of snakes and rats."
He clearly hated Wujiwu, and even Mu Sheng, the son of Shi Jia and Dongping County Prince, also hated him.
Hou Xiaokang smiled contemptuously and said: "This Jia Heng was originally a commoner, but now he got into the palace through nepotism. Now he almost has the final say in the Rongning and Ning mansions. The historians have no choice but to look at his face and decide who will let the palace go." Li obeyed his advice. As for the Prince of Dongping County, he had a close relationship with the ancestors of the Jia family. Mu Erlang was only the second son, not the crown prince. If he wanted to make contributions, he would have to do without Jia Ziyu, who led the army in Beijing. .”
Ma Shang, the third-class Weiyuan general, shook his head and said: "What Brother Hou said is true. Since the pardoner of the Xifu was implicated in the smuggling case, he was demoted and exiled. In the Rongning and Ningfus, Jia Ziyu was the only one to follow his lead. Moreover, he also helped others not long ago. The second master of Zhurong Mansion has become a fourth-rank official, and the two houses of Rongning and Ning have become more harmonious, and the Jia and Shi families are, after all, relatives by marriage. As the saying goes, there is no relationship between them."
Hou Xiaokang sneered and said: "Nowadays, Jia Heng is so powerful that he even recommended Shi Hou to join the military aircraft department. It is only human nature to refuse to join him."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go have a drink and see Brother Liu off." Shi Guangzhu, the first-class town army general, said loudly.
Everyone stopped mentioning what happened just now and gathered around Liu Fang to have a drink.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, Tianxiang Tower
Since the gift of silk yesterday, the Rongning and Ning mansions have been in a state of joy, because all kinds of flowers planted in Huifang Garden are in full bloom, and Qin Keqing wants to invite Jia Mu from the West mansion and a group of sisters to come and enjoy the flowers.
Last night, after being reminded by Sister Feng, Qin Keqing heard that Tanchun was giving birth to a baby today, so she asked Ping'er to invite two women who played drums and told stories to hold a birthday celebration for Tanchun.
On the second floor of Tianxiang Building, the carved windows open outwards, and the sunlight and the fragrance of flowers float into the hall with the warm spring breeze. In Huifang Garden, there is an octagonal pavilion with cornices and brackets, surrounded by rockeries and bee bridges. Below, the Qinfang River flows gurglingly, with red flowers and green willows dancing beside the stream. The flowers are swaying, just like a picture of spring, bright scenery, and lush greenery.
In a nave painting of Songs and Cranes in Everlasting Spring, Jia Mu is sitting on an Arhat bed, served by maids such as Yuanyang and Jade. On the left are Qin Keqing, Second Sister You and Third Sister You, Yuan Yingtanxi and several sisters, and on the right
On the side are Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, Feng Wan, Xiang Yun, Chai Dai and Xing Xiuyan.
Others such as Qingwen, Xiangling and several girls' maids were waiting beside the screen.
Jia Mu looked at Tan Chun, smiled and said, "It's your brother and sister-in-law who care about you. They are so busy, but they still don't forget to give you this child."
Tan Chunyingli's face was filled with embarrassment, her cheeks flushed, she looked at Qin Keqing and said softly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking about me."
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "The third sister is having a baby, and the family is more lively."
Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I feel like I've been having babies every day since the New Year."
As he spoke, he stretched out his two chubby little hands, counted on his fingers and said: "On the first day of the first lunar month, my eldest sister's baby is born. The New Year is already lively, but it has become even more lively. After the Lantern Festival, it is my eldest sister's birth."
My son was born to Sister Lin on February 12th, and now in March, he will be born to Sister Three.”
Everyone looked at Xiangyun's childish and naive appearance, and they all felt happy and laughed softly.
Tanchun chuckled and said, "The first one is my wife's son, and April is the son of Brother Bao, and the other is the son of Sister Ping."
Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's hard for Third Sister to still remember our Ping'er's son, and there is another one born in April. Does Third Sister know?"
Tan Chun was surprised for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face. As Sister Feng spoke, she looked at Xing Xiuyan aside. Her bright and sharp Danfeng eyes were filled with a smile and said, "It's cousin Xiuyan."
Facing everyone's gaze, Xing Xiuyanfang felt a little shy, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were curved like a cloud, and she chuckled: "How did sister-in-law know?"
"I mentioned it to my wife the other day, saying that our Xiuyan is not young anymore, so she should find her husband's family. How could she do it without asking her horoscopes?" Sister Feng joked with a deliberate smile.
Xing Xiuyan jumped up, blushed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law is joking."
All the young girls chuckled, making Xing Xiuyan even more embarrassed.
Jia Mu pretended to be angry and said, "Your mother-in-law is still here, yet you dare to tease this little girl."
With a smile on her fair face, Mrs.
After Jia She was exiled, the eldest lady gradually calmed down and did not dare to be a monster for the time being. Otherwise, the childless Mrs. Xing would have almost no place in the entire Rongning Mansion.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "This May, my aunt and cousin Wenlong will have a baby."
As the head of the Rongguo Mansion who is well-rounded and has no leaks (doubtful), of course he must clearly remember the births of several relatives.
Aunt Xue heard this, with a smile on her fair and plump face, and said: "Girl Feng is right, Pan'er's baby is born on the third day of May."
Aunt Xue was obviously very happy that her son's birth was remembered.
Sister Feng said, glanced at Xiangyun, and said in a long voice: "The baby born in June seems to be gone."
Xiangyun pouted her pink face and said, "Why did Sister-in-law Feng forget that June is my biological child?"
"Hey, if Sister Yun didn't tell me, I really forgot." Sister Feng said with a smile.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
When the laughter stopped for a while, Qin Keqing's eyes were filled with soft light, and he said softly: "Sister Yinglian's baby is also in June. This is what her mother said. Jinyi Mansion sent her mother here today to ask about it.
, saying that sister Yinglian was born in June."
It's a coincidence that Xiangling, who "has a fragrant lotus root and a leaf, and has suffered real hardships in life", and Xiangyun, who "disobeys his parents when he is still young, and the water of the Xiangjiang River passes away, and Chu Yun flies away" are both born in June.
"Have you found the mother of that girl Xiangling?" Aunt Xue frowned and couldn't help but ask.
As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiangling not far behind Qin Keqing. He paused for a moment on the red mole between the girl's eyebrows. He was startled for a moment when he looked at the charming and timid appearance.
Not long after this girl arrived at the house, she became more and more intelligent. Pan'er even beat people to death for her, but now they are being held in the prison of the Wucheng Bingma Division.
Xiangling felt a little shy when Aunt Xue looked her over, so she couldn't help but lower her head and stir the handkerchief.
Qin Keqing sighed and said: "I found it. It was sent by people from Jinyi Mansion this morning. It took a lot of time on the way. When they arrived, mother and daughter were crying like tears. I originally wanted to let their mother
If you talk to me nicely, your mother will insist on asking Xiang Ling to come over."
It is said that early this morning, a householder from Jinyi Mansion used a carriage to carry Xiangling's mother to Ningguo Mansion. She came all the way from Daru Prefecture in the land of Huguang to search for her.
Feng met Xiangling and her daughter and cried, and then Qin Keqing arranged to live temporarily in Ningguo Mansion.
The Feng family suffered a lot. A woman who was nearly forty now looked like an old woman in her fifties or sixties, with gray hair and dim eyesight. Qin Keqing was not asked to do any heavy work and was nursed back to health in the mansion.
Jia Mu lamented and said: "It is also a meritorious deed to reunite the flesh and blood and reconnect with the family relationship."
When Baochai heard this, he looked at Xiangling, his moist apricot eyes a little soft.
Speaking of which, it was precisely because of Xiangling's incident that Brother Heng became attached to her. She protected her at first, but now it seems that it is not a good cause and a good result?
Everyone sighed and sighed, and echoed.
Jia's mother said, then turned to look at Xiang Ling. She heard some women in the back house saying that the little girl who called Xiang Ling looked like Ke Qing, but this girl had a bitter look on her face, so how could she be Ke Qing?
Your wealth and graceful appearance?
Sister Feng turned to look at Second Sister You and said with a smile: "Qiyue is the second sister's son, and this one looks like the Seventh Fairy."
At this time, everyone was a little sad and wanted to warm up the atmosphere.
Second Sister You's cheeks were dizzy and she said softly and timidly: "Sister-in-law has a good memory and was born in July."
However, in the original work, Qiao's son was born in July.
"August is the old lady's son, September is my son, and the third sister's son is also in September, right?" Sister Feng smiled and said softly.
Ping'er whispered: "Grandma, isn't Jin Chuan's baby also born in September?"
Sanjie You smiled.
"That's three." Sister Feng smiled and continued: "October is my uncle's son, November is my sister-in-law Zhu's, and December is my second son."
Jia Mu stood by and said with a smile: "You are in charge of the house, but you remember that no one is left behind. I feel dizzy just listening to it."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Xiangyun said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, if you put it this way, people are really having babies every month, and the excitement is non-stop. No wonder Sister-in-law Feng said she wanted to hire a theater troupe. When Yuanzi comes together, can't she just sing opera every day?
Daiyu's starry eyes sparkled and she chuckled: "Sister Yun, you know how to play."
When mentioning the Grand View Garden, expectations can be seen on the faces of many golden hairpins.
Although the two mansions of Rong and Ning are large, they are gradually getting tired of seeing them, and they can't go out outside. If they have a garden together, they can have a lot more fun.
Baochai narrowed her apricot eyes, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and suddenly her heart felt blessed, and she remembered an old incident.
At the beginning, he told her that there was no need to rush through the door. He said that he wanted her to stay in the garden with the sisters for one or two more years and be happy. In fact, this garden... was probably built for her, right?
Thinking like this, my breath suddenly froze and my heart beat wildly.
It's really possible.
If it wasn't like this, it seems that it couldn't explain his simplicity, and suddenly spent a lot of money to build such a garden, so... was it really for her?
He had never promised to marry anyone as his wife. He was not as beautiful as the You sisters, but what about the princess?
Of course, Baochai didn't know that the original meaning of Grand View Garden was "Heaven and Earth/All scenery is prepared, Fang Yuan Ying Xi/The name of Grand View".
Tan Chun chuckled and said, "I've seen the drawings before, and the pavilions and pavilions planned inside are just like in the paintings."
"Brother Heng and I want you to live in it after it is built, just like the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Their family just builds a garden and allows young girls to live in it as a boudoir and embroidery building.
It's better." Sister Feng said with a chuckle.
Mother Jia listened to the chatter and laughter of several sisters with a smile on her face, then glanced at Mrs. Wang and whispered: "Baoyu mother, you were born the day before yesterday, why are you not celebrating?"
Yuanchun's plump, soft face smiled brightly, and he continued: "Old ancestor, I cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for my mother."
Mrs. Wang's face looked a little unnatural, she chuckled and said: "Every year is passing, speaking of which, there are dozens of births. It's not easy to have such a big deal and eat a bowl."
Longevity noodles would be good, they young girls are more lively."
She had thought about it, but in the past few days, everyone in the family had been worried about Uncle Heng's expedition, and they didn't have much contact with the imperial family. How could she live her life like a child?
Jia Mu warned: "You have to live your life, and while you are having a baby, you can have more interactions with other families."
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.
Jia Mu glanced at the girls, smiled and said: "These sisters can also interact with sisters from other families. I think Princess Xianning is a good one. Come over that day, you young girls, talk more."
say."
If they don't interact with other families, it will be difficult for these girls to find husbands when they get older.
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "When the old lady gives birth to a baby, it will be lively and lively. It's the same."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "We can also enjoy the happiness of the birthday girl that day."
Jia Mu smiled, waved her hand, and then asked Qin Keqing, "Brother Heng, your daughter-in-law, why don't you see that Master Miaoyu?"
"Master Miaoyu always likes to be quiet. She usually spends time in the courtyard, reciting scriptures and studying Buddhism deeply." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Mu chuckled and said: "The weather is rarely good today, so we should invite her over and talk together. I think even a monk cannot stay in the house all the time. I have been feeling a little unsettled these days, so I still want to invite her over."
Let’s talk and explain.”
Qin Keqing smiled like a flower and said softly: "That old lady, I'll ask someone to call her."
With that said, he asked the treasure on the side to call Miaoyu.
After a while, Miaoyu, accompanied by the maid Susu and a nanny, came to the second floor of Tianxiang Tower. She was dressed in a moon-white crane silk Taoist robe, tied with a silk ribbon around her waist, her hair was combed into a Miaochang bun, with a
He is wearing a green hairpin and holding a fly whisk in his hand. He is dressed neither as a monk nor as a Taoist.
"The poor nun has met the old lady." Miaoyu bowed to Jia Mu and said softly.
Mother Jia smiled and said: "Master Miaoyu is not polite and has the temerity to disturb Master Miaoyu's Qing Dynasty."
At this time, the maid moved an embroidered pier for Miaoyu to stay.
Miaoyu clasped her palms together and said, "The old lady is serious. It's a beautiful spring day today, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
The smile on Jia Mu's face couldn't help but become more prosperous as she continued talking.
While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard a nanny coming quickly from the stairs and said in surprise: "Old lady, madam, Grandma Heng, the angel from the palace is here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, looking at the nanny with puzzled faces.
Sister Feng looked surprised and asked, "Didn't the angel just come here yesterday? Why is he here again today?"
"Yes, why?" Mrs. Xing asked rarely.
Jia Mu ordered: "Girl Feng, go quickly and see what's going on?"
"Ancestor, I'll go over right away." Sister Feng got up from the embroidered pier and was about to leave.
The mammy smiled and said: "Old lady, the palace rewarded the two governments with sixty kilograms of tea from Siam. The queen also gave some jewelry to Grandma Heng, saying that she asked Grandma Heng to give it to the family.
Young girls wear it.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Tianxiang Tower was shocked and happy.
Miaoyu frowned, held the Buddhist beads, and thought about the reason.
"Yesterday I was given brocade to make clothes, and today I am given jewelry." Sister Feng also laughed when she heard this and said: "These rewards come one after another, which makes people confused."
At this moment, the nanny said with a smile: "I heard that the little princess from Princess Jinyang's family is also here, and she is here to look for the eldest girl."
When he heard about Jinyang Princess's family, the smile on Qin Keqing's face froze for a moment, but...the little princess?
Is she the eldest princess’s daughter?
Well, she had met the little princess when she went to Kunning Palace. She was quiet and gentle. What was she doing here?
Baochai also frowned. Half of the girl's attention was on Qin Keqing's face. Seeing his expression change, suspicion arose in her heart.
Yuan Chun smiled, Yingying stood up and said happily: "It's Chanyue, she's here too?"
As he said that, he looked at Mother Jia, who had a surprised look on her face, and explained: "My ancestor is the little princess of the eldest princess's family. I also went to welcome her. I don't think she knows what the reward is."
Jia Mu smiled and nodded, saying: "Go."
While talking, Yuanchun and Sister Feng left Tianxiang Tower.
