Chapter 299: Imperial Gift to the Rich Family (1 more)
After Eunuch Cui reported, he took a special look at his master's reaction, but seeing Emperor Guangxi taking a sip of tea leisurely, he didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

The emperor was not in a hurry, but Eunuch Cui rushed forward first, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager..."

"The queen mother will deal with it herself." Emperor Guangxi uttered a sentence slowly, and waved his hand to make Eunuch Cui back down.

-

Shouan Palace.

Concubine Jin who came to complain was kneeling on the ground, raising the corners of her eyes from time to time, but she could only see the crested silk shoes under the empress dowager's skirt, and she dared not look up.

There was silence in the hall.

When the empress dowager's bowl cover gently brushed the edge of the yellow glazed dragon cup, the sound of fine porcelain rubbing made people feel more uneasy.

Concubine Jin suddenly felt a little regretful that she ran over recklessly even though she knew that Shou An Gong was not easy to mess with.

After an unknown amount of time, the Queen Mother's voice finally came from above, "Concubine Duan is back?"

"Yes." Concubine Jin bit the bullet and said, "Looking at it, I should be seven or eight months pregnant, but before leaving the palace, I didn't hear the imperial doctor say that Concubine Duan is happy, so this child..."

If it is half-covered, it is easier to make people have bad associations.

The queen mother casually glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, "How long has Concubine Jin been in the palace?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, my concubine entered the palace at the age of 16, and it has been [-] years since now."

The queen mother put the teacup on the small table, and said in a casual tone, "After 13 years of royal meals, there is no one dish that can make you brains?"

Concubine Jin: "..."

The palace eunuchs on the side wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, they lowered their heads one by one.

No matter how stupid Concubine Jin was, she soon realized that Concubine Duan's so-called serious illness and being sent to Rehe Palace to recuperate were all excuses for her pregnancy.

The purpose is just to not want the emperor's heir to be murdered by the concubine.

And judging from this posture, the emperor and queen mother should have known about it long ago.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and Concubine Jin quickly kowtowed and said, "It's all due to my ignorance and ignorance. I made a mistake on the spur of the moment, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

Concubine Duan used her serious illness as an excuse to go out of the palace to recuperate. The Queen Mother actually didn't know about it, but she just reacted to what Concubine Jin said just now.

"Go on, there will be another time, if you are careful, your concubine position will not be guaranteed."

Concubine Jin's face was completely drained of color, and she bowed and left with a trembling voice.

……

After Concubine Jin left, Mother Qiu came forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there's a letter from the Su family asking if the Prime Minister has been abolished, should she continue to lurk?"

When this matter was mentioned, the queen mother suddenly laughed, "The prime minister's power has been emptied before the Ai family members have even done anything. This Song Wei is really not a simple person." No wonder he was selected by Fanghua to be his son-in-law back then.

He also said: "The Su family is now a centipede that is dead but not stiff. With hundreds of years of foundation, even if there is no prime minister, it will not be completely defeated. Send a letter back and let her stay well! Don't let her go for now! Acting rashly reveals flaws."

Mother Qiu nodded, "Yes."

-

After seeing Concubine Duan away, the west wing room was completely vacant, Song Wei didn't speak, and Mrs. Song didn't dare to touch the things inside, and occasionally asked Mama Cao to clean it.

Taking advantage of Xiumu, Song Wei took the whole family to the five-in-one house to have a look.

The Wujin Courtyard is bigger than their current residence, but it is more imposing. There are two big stone lions squatting at the door. Enter through the thick and majestic red lacquer gate. rich.

The backyard is divided into the main courtyard and partial courtyards, and each courtyard has a name.

Mrs. Song was dumbfounded the whole time. She had never seen such a magnificent house in most of her life.

When I was in Ningzhou, I could occasionally pass by the doors of rich families when I went to the county town, but the doors of those houses were all painted with varnish, and I didn't see anyone with red paint.

The red lacquered gate gave Mrs. Song the first feeling of wealth and wealth.

If Song Wei hadn't personally led the way, she wouldn't have dared to take a step forward.

After all, with such a big house, I never dared to think that I could have it myself.

Mrs. Song looked at it for a while, then asked Song Wei, "Sanlang, do you still have to pay attention to the color of the gate?"

Song Wei nodded, "The Zhu family is regarded as a relatively high standard of treatment among the gifts. If you are given a Zhu family, you will be a Zhu family in the future. If it is not bestowed by the emperor, ordinary people cannot use this color."

"Oh, is this the color bestowed by the emperor?"

"Ah."

Mrs. Song was so excited that she couldn't speak, she looked at Wen Wan beside her.

Wen Wan is the same as her father-in-law, relatively calm, seeing her mother-in-law looking over, she smiled, "It is also to suppress the bandits and protect the concubine Duan and the emperor's heir, the combination of the two great achievements, it is reasonable for the husband to be awarded the rich family .”

Several people sat down in the pavilion, and Mrs. Song said with emotion: "It will take four or five years to go forward, and I don't dare to think that I can still be an old lady in the official family. Old man, please pinch me, I will take a look Are you dreaming?"

Father Song held Jinbao in his arms, and turned to one side, too lazy to talk to her.

Song Wei smiled, "Even if it's a dream, it's a dream you can't wake up from. When you move here, mother can live in peace of mind!"

Mrs. Song glanced at the rocks, plants and trees around the pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh, "How many servants will it take to take care of such a big house?"

He also said: "It's too expensive to add a servant. Anyway, your father and I are idle. Why don't we do the work in this house?"

Wen Wan disagreed, "Mother, you and father are old ladies now, how can you do those rough jobs anymore?"

Mrs. Song frowned, "Buy some maidservants to come in, and each person will pay at least half a penny per month. With our family's foundation, it is not bad to be able to support the whole family. How many servants can we afford? "

Wen Wan said: "Even if you don't buy someone, there is no reason for the old lady to do the work in person. If this is spread, outsiders will poke your husband's spine and call him unfilial."

Mrs. Song opened her mouth and looked at Song Wei.

Song Wei said slowly: "Bringing parents to the capital is just to let you enjoy the happiness. After a long time, parents will get used to it."

At this time, Jinbao, who was sitting on his grandfather's lap, pointed to the lotus pond and called, "Yuyu~"

Next to the pavilion is a lotus pond. At this season, the lotus is in full bloom, and occasionally one or two red koi will scurry among the emerald lotus leaves.

Wen Wan pulled her son over and asked him, "Does Jinbao like Yuyu?"

Jinbao: "Eat."

Wen Wan: "...do you want to eat fish?"

Jinbao: "Eat fish~"

Seeing his drooling appearance, Wen Wan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's go back later, mother will buy a big fish by the way, and cook fish porridge for Jinbao to drink at night, okay?"

"Good~"

The soft and glutinous voice made one's bones crumble, and he wished he could bring the best to the little guy.

……

After turning over this period, the whole family continued to stroll around the house.

Mrs. Song and Father Song walked in front, followed by Song Yuanbao and Song Wei, father and son talking in low voices.

Song Jiao stayed behind, holding Jin Bao's little hand with Wen Wan.

After coming to the capital for more than a month, she saw so many things that were different from the countryside, especially the magnificent house she lived in, which shocked Song Jiao. She couldn't help but marvel, "Third Uncle is really capable."

Such a big house is already in hand, and it was bestowed by the emperor, how capable is this?

Song Jiao never imagined that one day she would be transformed from a small village girl into a rich lady with servants to serve her.

Wen Wan looked at the little girl, "There are two good courtyards in the inner courtyard. You can choose one first and see which one you like. After a while, when you move in, I'll have someone move your things in for you."

Song Jiao showed surprise, "Is it a... yard?"

Wen Wan smiled and nodded, "Yes, this place is big and there are many courtyards. In two years, you will be a grown girl and should have your own courtyard."

For Song Jiao, this kind of temptation was too great, she paused, her face full of excitement, "Third Aunt is so kind."

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "Would it be better if I don't give you a yard?"

"No, I didn't mean that." Song Jiao was at a loss for words.

She smiled gently again, "Then do you still want to go back and marry a farmer now?"

Song Jiao lowered her head with a blushing face, "Don't make fun of me, Auntie Three. Only when I got here did I realize how shallow my eyelids were before I went to Beijing. There seems to be a word called a frog at the bottom of a well. Yes, I am that frog. I can only see when I look up. The sky is as big as a palm, thinking that he knows everything, and he doesn't care about the capital and the capital, but in the end..."

As a result, he was severely beaten and swollen in the face.

Seeing her remorseful and shy look, Wen Wan said in a gentle voice: "Since you are here, don't think so much, just stay at ease, as long as you follow the teaching mother to study hard, and then read more books, and wait In the future, your third uncle will be promoted, and as his niece, your worth will naturally increase, and by then, it will not be a problem to choose a good husband's family."

Hearing that the third aunt was considerate of herself, the little girl who was not good at words could only blushed again and said: "The capital is good, and the third uncle and the third aunt are better people."

Wen Wan smiled, and the two continued to take Jin Bao's little hand to go shopping in the garden.

After choosing the courtyard, it was already evening, and Jinbao was hungry, so he shouted to go home.

Without delay, the group got into the carriage and drove home after leaving the gate.

When I got home, I found that Aunt Xie was already waiting in the main room.
