Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 167 Shocking News

At the end of March in the eighth year of Hongzheng, in the prime location of Heshun Street, the Lin Family’s Embroidery Building was about to officially open. Daiyu brought seven or eight maids, Nanny Song, and Mother Zhao to the Embroidery Building early in the morning. backyard.

This embroidery building is a small three-story building. When it was designed, it was prepared as an embroidery school.So in addition to the three-story embroidered building on the interface, there is a small courtyard with two entrances at the back. The first entrance houses tents, classrooms, living rooms, kitchens and other things.In the second entrance, thirty or forty houses were built, which were reserved for the residence of future disciples.

In the three-storey small building in front, the first floor is for receiving public guests, and the second floor is for receiving various customers with special requirements.The third floor is the place where the ladies embroider. If there is a customer's request, you can visit it, of course, it is only limited to the female relatives.

This design was finally decided upon by Daiyu after referring to Mrs. Chu's business philosophy and discussing it with Wang Xifeng many times.

After everything was finally discussed, Daiyu also seriously asked Wang Xifeng if she wanted to be a part of it.But Wang Xifeng refused with a smile, and after Daiyu repeatedly persuaded her, Wang Xifeng finally decided to use the name of the eldest sister to join [-]% of the members, and asked Daiyu to keep this matter a secret.

When Wang Xifeng brought the bank notes, Daiyu had seriously looked at Wang Xifeng.She seemed to be able to understand what Wang Xifeng meant, and how she was thinking and angry about Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, Daiyu was listening to Yuan Qing talking about today's arrangements with Lin Haorui in the living room in the backyard.Defu quickly came in from the outside: "Master, Miss. Second Master and Second Grandma's bike racks are at the door!"

Lin Haorui smiled and said, "It can be regarded as coming, please come in quickly!"

After a while, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came in with the eldest sister and the fat brother.The eldest sister was very happy to see Daiyu, and ran to Daiyu at once. Aunt Lin and Aunt Lin kept talking shortly.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Okay, don't bother your Aunt Lin, go play with the girls."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Feng, don't talk about her. I just like my eldest sister playing here with me. The auspicious time will come soon. I will take my eldest sister upstairs to watch the lion dance." Eldest sister, carried by Zijuan to the third floor of the embroidered building with Fat Brother and Wang Xifeng.

Seeing that the auspicious time has come, many people watching the excitement have already gathered under the embroidery building, and the dragon and lion dance team has gathered at the door, waiting for the boss's order to start.The boss of Xiulou is Yuan Qing. Originally, Yuan Qing invited an old gentleman to be the nominal boss, but after Lin Haorui came back.He directly returned Yuan Qing's deed of sale to him, and let him concentrate on running the embroidery building.

Yuan Qing was moved to tears, and resolutely refused to take back the contract of sale.He also said that if one day he wants to leave the Lin family, he will ask Lin Haorui himself.Only then did Lin Haorui give up, but in the end he also got rid of Yuan Qing's other errands, and only concentrated on running the embroidery building and cooperating with Grandma Liu in running the vegetable greenhouse.

Today Yuan Qing is wearing a dark red robe.Coupled with the good figure of practicing martial arts on weekdays, it makes people look very energetic.Sitting in the private room on the third floor, Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Yuan Qing really looks very energetic after tidying up like this today."

Daiyu glanced at Mu Qing, who was watching her brother attentively, and said with a smile: "No, it's because of Yuan Qing's appearance today. Mu Qing has been busy, and she has prepared several clothes just." Mu Qing listened Seeing Daiyu's joke, she smiled shyly: "Young lady is laughing at me again."

But Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I said, why do I always feel that Yuan Qing's clothes are particularly refreshing today. It turned out that Mu Qing prepared them. I saw them in the shop just now. Those exquisite embroidery were all made by Mu Qing." hand!"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister Feng guessed wrong. Now the master embroidery master in our family has become three people. Except for the ones who robbed me of the works just now. Muqing and Qingwen brought Xiaoju to embroider day and night, and the small building had been repaired a long time ago. It was just waiting for their embroidery, so it opened so late."

Wang Xifeng smiled suddenly: "I really forgot about Qingwen." Qingwen smiled from the side: "I can't compare to Muqing and sister Zijuan in the heart of the second grandma, who will be so important?" The girl called always said that I was twittering, and it didn't stop for a while!"

"It's just you talking, let's watch the lion dance!" Zijuan smiled and slapped Qingwen.At this time, firecrackers have been set off downstairs, and the dragon and lion dances are also lively.Yuan Qing smiled and invited everyone to enter the store to watch.

Daiyu looked downstairs with a smile on her face, and suddenly saw Chu Tianyou in Tsing Yi in the crowd, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.Three days ago, Chu Tianyou formally bid farewell to the two brothers and sisters and moved out from the herb garden.

At that time Chu Tianyou's expression was very relaxed, but Lin Haorui seemed to be preoccupied and very solemn.Daiyu didn't know where Chu Tianyou finally moved to, but she thought that when Chu Tianyou reappeared, it might not be the brother Chu she was familiar with, but the current prince of the Holy Majesty.Who knew that I saw him today.

Daiyu was distracted, and when she looked closely, she found that Chu Tianyou had disappeared. Daiyu looked carefully in the crowd with some surprises, but she didn't find Chu Tianyou's figure at all.Wang Xifeng looked at her curiously: "What is Sister Lin looking at?"

Daiyu smiled awkwardly: "I didn't see anything, but I was a little worried about whether this embroidered building can accept apprentices." Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, you have to take it step by step. However, you have two I have sent a girl here to teach embroidery, but the people around me are enough?"

"It's enough, Sister Feng, don't worry!" Daiyu said with a smile, "However, the two of them don't need to help here now. day."

Several people were talking, Song Nanny and Zhao Mama came together, Song Nanny smiled and said: "Qingwen and Mu Qing should really go down and have a look, the embroidery works of the two of them are almost for those people to see My eyes are straightened. When I heard that there will be a school for this kind of embroidery, several wives actually said that they want their girls to learn a thing or two."

Muqing was fine, Qingwen's eyes were already shining, she said with a smile: "Girl, let's go down and have a look first!" Seeing Daiyu nod, she dragged Muqing down the stairs.Wang Xifeng sighed at the side: "Qingwen, this girl has really changed a lot. Who would have thought that she would be like this today when she was surrounded by Baoyu that day."

"Maybe it's just that I don't want to obey the rules in Baoyu's room at that time!" Daiyu said leisurely: "Sister Feng is doing well these few days. How are the ancestors and the wife?"

When Wang Xifeng heard Daiyu's question, he let out a long sigh: "Where can it be better? Ever since the news of Sister Yang's queenhood came, our house has been in a gloomy state. The old ancestor doesn't know what he was thinking, During these days, we are very close to the Sun family. And the wife is even worse, thinking that we have offended the villain of the Yang family. "

Daiyu sighed: "That's something we can't do anything about, after all we can't influence what the emperor thinks. By the way, sister Feng has seen Aunt Chu?" Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu.With a relieved smile: "You really already know?"

"Know what?" Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng in confusion.Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I know that Chu Tianyou's identity is unusual!" Daiyu laughed: "It's not a secret, everyone in the herb garden knows it. Didn't Sister Feng tell the old ancestor Aunt Chu's identity?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head: "I didn't say anything. In that family, how dare I talk about things that have anything to do with the Yang family." Daiyu thought for a while, and finally understood what Wang Xifeng said.

But how could such a thing be concealed, but a few days later, the entire capital city was shocked by Emperor Hongzhen's big move.

In early April of the eighth year of Hongzheng.Emperor Hongzhen issued an edict of guilt.In the edict, he said that he had not fulfilled his duties as a father and husband.Ashamed of the world above, ashamed of his wife and children below.Just when people all over the world were guessing what happened to Emperor Hong Zhen, even many ministers had already gone to the main hall, begging Emperor Hong Zhen to take back the edict.

Emperor Hong Zhen performed a high-profile scene of recognizing his son with lightning speed, which made everyone in the capital stare wide-eyed.Immediately afterwards, before everyone could react.Emperor Hongzhen has brought the new third prince to pay homage to the ancestors, and it has been officially written into the royal jade butterfly.And the biological mother of the third prince is exactly this Empress Yang who is about to hold a queen conferring ceremony.

all of a sudden.The whole court was shocked.

The two princes and the Sun family who were in the center of the storm were furious.

There was an extra prince for no reason, and he had the same status as the eldest prince and the second prince, and he was actually a legitimate son.

And this newly released prince obviously seems to be more promising than the eldest prince and second prince.He is also a general who made great achievements in Annan.

This made the first prince and the second prince who were still competing with each other desperately to support their own power feel so embarrassing.How embarrassing for the Sun family who has always regarded themselves very highly.For this matter, Grand Master Sun went to Longyang Palace to find the Supreme Emperor and cried for a long time.But the Supreme Emperor only said: "The Emperor's wings are hardened, and I can't control it anymore. You courtiers should persuade you more!"

Grand Master Sun returned to the Sun Mansion dejectedly. In the early morning of the second day, the eldest prince, who had always regarded people as a hero, actually burst into tears, saying that he had dreamed of Empress Sun, and felt a lot for a while.Please order to add a posthumous title to Empress Sun to comfort her spirit in heaven.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhen said that the early court was the place to discuss major national affairs, and such family matters would be discussed after he retired from the court.As soon as the members of the Sun family stood up and said that the Tian family has no personal affairs, they were picked off by Emperor Hong Zhen and sent to Ninggu Pagoda.

All of a sudden, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty became cautious, and shut their mouths cautiously about this matter.But these ladies are not idle, but only two days of work.So he turned out the matter of the emperor and the girl from the Yang family who were in love with each other back then.What's more, the chatty one even said that when Miss Yang escaped from the Yang Mansion, she lived in the Prince Chu's Mansion back then.

Some people even said that it is no wonder that the emperor has always had a bad relationship with Empress Sun. After so many years, no children were born in the harem. I am afraid that Empress Sun is behind the scenes.Seeing that the topic became more and more evil, Emperor Hong Zhen didn't have the slightest idea of ​​rectifying his name.

On the contrary, the third prince, officially renamed Qi Tianyou, officially appeared in the court hall at the court meeting on the fifth day of April, and met the curious gazes of civil and military officials from the court, and endured the malicious gazes of the first and second princes.

And the great scholar Zhang Hua touched the goatee with a smile, feeling very relieved: Da Qi has someone to succeed him!Those ministers who have been neutral all the time are naturally not unfamiliar with this young man who performed well in the palace examination half a year ago, and they can't help but feel a little biased in their hearts.

In the middle of the morning court, Emperor Hongzhen suddenly called Tianyou by name: "Tianyou, it's a good thing to meet these ministers. They are the pillars of the country. You must learn more from now on." Chu Tianyou... No, it should be Qi Tianyou wearing a prince's attire, and calmly took a step from behind the second prince, facing the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and said with a faint smile: "I'm Qi Tianyou, please give me more advice from now on, my lords!"

"The third prince is serious, the ministers will do their best!" How could the ministers get Tianyou to salute them, and hurriedly knelt down to express their determination.Tianyou stood there, looking at a large group of people kneeling in front of him.As if my heart was blocked by something, I said after a while: "My lords, please stand up!"

Emperor Hongzhen smiled in relief after Tianyou turned around.Standing up from the dragon chair: "Everyone must have seen Tianyou long ago. Whether it was the palace examination last year or the battlefield in Annan, this child has shown amazing talent."

Emperor Hongzhen stopped for a while, and a minister below stood up.Said: "It's not bad that it is His Royal Highness, he is indeed talented, the emperor is also relieved." As soon as this person led, three or four people stood up and praised Tianyou.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhen smile with satisfaction: "I am very pleased to have this beautiful son. God bless. You can go to the Ministry of War for the time being. If there are things you don't understand, you should ask the old minister for advice!" Tianyou bowed his head: "Yes!"

Shangguan Bo, Minister of the Ministry of War, also stood up: "The veteran will definitely live up to the great trust of the emperor!" Although Shangguan Bo had never dealt with Tianyou in person.But he still knows a little about the battle situation in the Annan battlefield.Naturally, he knew that the third prince was a man of practical work, and was different from the eldest prince and the second prince.

Now that the first prince is in the Ministry of Households, the second prince is in the Ministry of Rites, and the third prince is sent to the Ministry of War, I am afraid that this new round of competition for the throne is about to begin.Emperor Hong Zhen didn't care what the ministers were thinking.He patted Tianyou on the shoulder, and then returned to the dragon seat.

Morning one scattered.The eldest prince and the second prince looked at Tianyou in a strange way, and said with a smile: "These days, the father doesn't even say that the three of us should have a good get-together, the third brother don't want to refuse, I will set up a table in the mansion Banquet, welcome back third brother!"

Tianyou smiled slightly: "Thank you, big brother and second brother, but I still have to go to Longyang Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor, so I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, he strode out of the main hall, followed by a few young eunuchs, and followed him. Walked towards the bedroom.

The first prince and the second prince looked at Tianyou's disappearing back, their eyes gradually darkened.

Tianyou's new residence is Changyang Palace. From Taiji Hall to Changyang Palace, he has to go through many, many corridors. Although Tianyou always wants to jump directly on the wall and get there in a super-shortcut, he still walks through the passage in a regular manner every time. road.

Along the way, there were always many people kneeling and saluting, but he tried to ignore them deliberately.Suddenly a very familiar figure came over in front of him, Tianyou immediately felt a little cramped, and wanted to jump up the wall and escape quickly, but he controlled himself.

It was Lin Haorui who was walking towards him. He was wearing an official uniform with a knife guard, and he looked unusually energetic.Lin Haorui looked at Tianyou, smiled faintly, then knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince!"

Tianyou stopped, clenched his hands into fists, and his face became extremely ugly.It wasn't until half a stick of incense passed that he gritted his molars and said, "Get up!" He knew that if he didn't say this, the person in front of him would be kneeling forever.

Lin Haorui stood up, looking at Tianyou's angry face, there was a big smile in his eyes.He raised his eyebrows: "Does His Highness the Third Prince want to go back to Changyang Palace? Can I escort His Highness back?"

As he spoke, he turned slightly to signal Tianyou to go first.Tianyou bit his lip, and said to the little eunuchs behind him: "You all go down!" After speaking, he strode forward.Lin Haorui shrugged and followed quickly.

"After becoming a prince, your temper has increased!" Lin Haorui jokingly said behind Tianyou: "In the past two days, I heard the little maids say that His Highness the Third Prince is so handsome, and that His Highness the Third Prince is so silent. I don’t even dare to serve tea or something.”

"If someone kneels down on you every day and looks at you like a monkey, you will also have a bad temper!" Tianyou exhaled heavily, and said in a bad tone.Lin Haorui sighed: "There is no way to do that, it will be fine if you open a mansion yourself in the future."

Tianyou suddenly turned around and stared at Lin Haorui fiercely.Lin Haorui frowned: "Why?" Tianyou said angrily, "Can you kneel down without seeing me in the future, do you understand that there is gold under the man's knees?"

Lin Haorui rolled his eyes helplessly, but immediately laughed again: "Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince!" Tianyou was so bitter that he pulled out Lin Haorui's sword and attacked him.Lin Haorui hurriedly flew back, grabbed the broom of a court lady who was cleaning, and started a fight with Tianyou.

Those little maids and eunuchs nearby hid aside and watched with great interest, and they also whispered in unison: "I have heard that His Royal Highness the third prince is excellent in knowledge and martial arts, and he really deserves his reputation!"

Tianyou and Lin Haorui were arguing vigorously, suddenly there was a burst of applause behind them, and they couldn't help but stop at the same time.As soon as Lin Haorui turned around, he hurriedly knelt down again: "I have seen the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!"

Tianyou also slapped thousands at the side: "I have seen the father!"

Emperor Hongzhen didn't care about Tianyou's attitude, but said with a gratified smile: "Sure enough, it's a good job. After your mother's ceremony, go to Annan to work in the army on my behalf!" Lin Haorui couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart. I'm so happy, I really let myself guess right.

Emperor Hongzhen looked at Lin Haorui again: "Haorui is going too, and discuss the marriage with the Teng family, so I can send the imperial decree as soon as possible!" Lin Haorui couldn't help but feel a little hot when Emperor Hongzhen said this. But he was in a good mood, and took the two of them to play chess with him.
