Chapter 125 Daily life of husband and wife!
Xisanyan is also called Xisanchao, which means holding a banquet on the third day after a child is born.On this day, a bathing ceremony is held to gather relatives and friends to wish the baby good luck.There are two purposes, one is to wash away the filth and avoid disasters; the other is to pray for good fortune and good luck.
On the day of "washing three", usually only close relatives come to congratulate, and give more oil cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus crock pots, broken edge crock pots, eggs, brown sugar and other foods to the mothers, or clothes, shoes, socks, etc. used by children as gifts.The family only entertained with a meal of fried noodles, and the wealthy families only had more food and wine. The staple food must be noodles, commonly known as "washing three noodles".When sitting at the banquet, as usual, let the admission grandma sit on the front seat and treat her as a guest of honor.
When Xiao Guan Guan was born, because it was the time of filial piety, he just made simple arrangements.However, the addition of pots during the third hour also made the specially invited grandma make a lot of money.But this time, taking advantage of the auspicious and auspicious omen of the dragon and phoenix twins, Emperor Wen ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to supervise and cooperate with the Ministry of Rites. All civil and military officials also came.It was bustling, but dispelled a lot of the haze caused by the incident a few years ago.
But this was only temporary, because not long after the three feasts of the twins, Emperor Wen suddenly spoke to the court to express his gratitude for the filial piety of the princes, expressing his intention to grant the titles of princes and marquises to the adult princes.
All of a sudden, the court and the public were shaken, and all the civil and military officials all glanced at Shui Chen, who was wearing an apricot-yellow prince's court dress, with a face like a crown of jade, and an awe-inspiring imposing manner.
Shui Chen pursed his lips and smiled mockingly, "What do you think Gu is doing? Like Gu, all the younger brothers are the heirs of the father. It is human nature for the father to want to entrust the emperor's younger brothers. How dare Gu dare to object. Father You say yes or no."
The last sentence is really meaningful, at least in Emperor Wen's ears.Logically speaking, both father and son wore cuckolds at the same time, so they should have a common language and deepen the relationship between father and son. However, Emperor Wen and Shui Chen are good for the father and son.
Of course, the so-called estrangement was only caused by Emperor Wen unilaterally. After all, in Emperor Wen's heart, the only son was more important than a large group of sons, the only daughter was more important than the only son, and the power status was more important than the only daughter.Emperor Wen puts more weight on power~desires than children, Shui Chen took advantage of the "sorrowful autumn wind" of Emperor Wen, restrained a lot of power, and stabilized his position as the crown prince very well. Maybe he didn't have a grudge against Shui Chen.
Even in the original book, the fourth son of the emperor, Shuizawa, succeeded in pulling Shuichen off the horse and became the emperor. Didn't Emperor Wen become the empress who kept jumping around, dragging down Shuize's legs?So at this moment, Emperor Wen had a grudge against the more and more capable Shui Chen, and it was really a normal thing that could no longer be normal, and Shui Chen was not surprised at all.The reason why Shui Chen showed sarcasm on his face and sarcasm in his words was because he felt that Emperor Wen's methods were becoming more and more simplistic, and he could do things like openly reward and covertly praise.
Thinking of the concubine younger brothers who seemed to be joining forces to do some great event, Shui Chen curled his lips again, smiling extremely maliciously.He has no other skills, but he has a great ability to watch operas. At this moment, he stands here quietly, laughing and watching what kind of moth Emperor Wen wants to make trouble.Anyway, he and the charming brother and sister are in control of the current situation. The more trouble Emperor Wen makes, the better the situation will be for them. It is best for all Emperor Wen to make trouble hard, and it is best if the trouble cannot be ended.
Emperor Wen didn't know what Shui Chen, whose heart was as black as honeycomb coal, was thinking. After seeing Shui Chen said a few sour words, Emperor Wen acquiesced in his act of entrusting the princes. gratified.
Emperor Wen said majestically: "Since the courtiers have no objections, the imperial edict for entrusting the princes will be officially issued in three days."
The courtiers looked at each other, and finally looked at Jia She, who was leaning against the dragon-shaped pillar and seemed to be dozing off.The second prince Shui Rui who was standing with Jia Amnesty tugged on his sleeve.Jia Amnesty shuddered, and the moment he opened his eyes, he said something in a daze.
"It's time for the next court!"
Emperor Wen was speechless, Shui Chen smiled, and all civil and military officials looked up to admire the beautiful ceiling of the main hall, but the duo of silly spores neither snickered nor looked up at the sky, but said very seriously: "Father is saying that you will be entrusted to everyone in three days." Prince's business."
"This matter, the emperor can decide for himself. Anyway, the princess can't make a prince, so I will not engage in slander."
calumny…
Duke Rong, Prince Consort, what kind of slander do you want to get into?
The civil and military officials were all speechless, but it was Shui Che who saw that the atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace was a bit 'sluggish', and said to 'relax' the atmosphere: "Brother-in-law, three days later it will be the full moon banquet for our little nephew and little niece, and the emperor is here The edict promulgated that day to entrust the princes was intended for double happiness. Brother-in-law, are you surprised or not?"
"Hey, what a coincidence."
Jia She's eyes widened, and he looked at the Emperor Wen who sat high on the dragon chair with an unfathomable expression in disbelief.Did his father-in-law eat too much or forgot to take his medicine recently? Didn't he know how to look through the almanac when he wanted to make trouble?Jia She, who clearly knew the irritable character of his princess's daughter-in-law, guessed without thinking that Emperor Wen really wanted to promulgate the edict for entrusting the princes at Jia Hu and Jia Qi's full moon banquet.
Jia Amnesty thought about it, but after all, he couldn't read the joke like Shui Chen did, and didn't remind Emperor Wen of this matter.After all, as a well-recognized good son-in-law, he couldn't let his father-in-law fall into such an obvious trap, so Jia Amnesty sincerely made suggestions to Emperor Wen with a fearless spirit.
"Long Live Lord, how about another time to issue the edict to entrust the princes! After all, the time is too short, and the Ministry of Rites will be too busy."
indeed indeed...
The time is so fast, and we have to hold the full moon banquet for the twins of the dragon and phoenix, and we have to prepare the titles for Lord Long Live to draw lots. It is really busy, so Lord Long Live, you can follow the ladder provided by the son-in-law and change your mind.
Emperor Wen also thought of this question at this time.Although the meaning of Double Happiness is very good, the relationship between his only daughter and other concubine brothers (except Shui Rui and Shui Che who lie down with guns from time to time and are accidentally injured) is not so harmonious. Announcing the imperial edict to entrust the princes at Jia Hu and Jia Qi's full moon banquet was to add to her troubles (couldn't it?), so that she would not leave him as the emperor, so the thick-skinned Emperor Wen really went down the ladder provided by Jia She Yes, changed the promulgation in three days to the promulgation in four days.
Emperor Wen, who thought he had solved the small temper crisis between his daughter and him, announced his resignation.Jia Amnesty followed Shui Chen, walked slowly along the white jade steps, and finally stopped at Taihe Square.
"Go back and tell Meiniang that the mantis wants to sneak in."
what do you mean...
Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, he didn't figure out the words thoroughly, but he also said obediently that he would tell the whole words to Mei Mei.
Shui Chen nodded, but said something wrong: "How is the scenery here?"
"It's not bad, but it's a bit windy." Jia She straightened his official hat that was crooked due to the strong wind, and said with a playful smile: "It's really nothing to be windy, even if there is a tornado, as long as we walk steadily, we can blow it." Does not fall."
"Hehe, our generous son-in-law can actually say such philosophical words."
Speaking teasing words, the smile on Shui Chen's face was very warm.Shui Chen put his hands behind his back, letting the strong wind blow his hair at the temples to make it more messy, without changing his posture, seemingly casual but somewhat stubborn.
Shui Chen turned his head and looked at Zhilan Yushu. Jia She, who looked glamorous from the outside, said, "Recently, you have been working with Jia Shilang in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What do you know about the old and important cases piled up in the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"
"Uh..." Jia She's eyes shifted, "Brother Prince, do you want to hear the truth or lies..."
"Oh, I don't want to hear Gu's truth or lies...Good brother-in-law, listen to Gu. Meiniang has been in good and bad moods since she gave birth. Meiniang went to Xiaotangshan to soak in the hot springs. After going there, Meiniang felt that the hot spring water nourishes people, so she wrote to Gu to mention it. After Qionger heard about this, she was very moved, so she begged Gu...Gu..."
"Don't talk about it, brother-in-law. My sister-in-law is not that stupid. I have to understand the reason why brother-in-law played this game."
Jia She wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist at all, and after reassuring that he was really not that stupid, Shui Chen reluctantly let Jia She go, and let Jia She run away from the big, empty space like a ghost. Taihe Square.
Jia She went back to Rongguo Mansion and Rongxi Hall, immediately went into the room specially used for confinement by Wu Mei, and 'kicked' all the serving maids out, until only he and himself were left in the room. When she was charming, Jia Shecai said everything that Shui Chen said to him today, in detail.
"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. It is very appropriate for the prince brother to describe the other princes as mantises."
"I think it's very suitable for my husband." Jia She, who didn't reveal that he didn't really want to understand what the words meant, said shamelessly to himself.
She smiled charmingly, and said again: "Brother Prince wants to avoid one or two things for his wife, but in fact there is no need. Self-confidence for a wife can avoid danger. If you go to Xiaotangshan to soak in hot springs with great fanfare, you will be a bit alarmed." After all, this season can It wasn't the time to soak in the hot springs. I went to the hot springs suddenly, and then Jia Chun'er brought out all the prince's heirs.
"Three days later, at the full moon banquet between brother Hu and sister Qi, the wife will crush Li'er and tell the prince brother. After waiting for so many years, I can't entrust the princes because of the father's sudden decision. If you want to completely turn the government and the public into a quagmire, you will be flustered. Maybe the emperor wants the prince brother to be flustered and make mistakes, so as to curb the momentum that the prince brother is getting better and better."
Although Jia Amnesty's political sensitivity is not as good as that of Mei Mei, who has been around many worlds, he is familiar with the pros and cons. After all, he has been working with Shui Chen for so long. Charming is reluctant to talk about him, but Shui Chen, the elder brother, will probably take care of him.Because in Shui Chen's view, a man can't eat soft food for a lifetime, and if he wants a husband and wife to live in harmony for a lifetime, he can't just let Meimei pay unilaterally.
Jia Amnesty followed the charming words, the more he thought about it, the more dignified his face became.He vaguely knew that there would be an accident that could change the future of all those who entered the game, but he never thought that this accident would happen so quickly.It can be said that the enfeoffment of the princes by Emperor Wen today not only turned the muddy water into a quagmire, but also accelerated the occurrence of accidents.According to what Shui Chen found himself alone today and what Mei Mei told him, the accident will probably happen this year.
"Meiniang, what do you think..." Jia She asked Fu Mei with a serious face, "When will something big happen?"
"Father is not only fond of beauties, he also likes to go to Chengde in summer to escape the heat, and in autumn to visit in autumn." She talked charmingly: "Nowadays, father is not too tainted with beauties, and Chengde Mountain Villa is too tired to go. Maybe there will be an autumn festival this year."
Qiuya is hunting in autumn.At this time, hunting in each season has different names, in spring it is called Chunsou (pronounced "search"); in summer it is called Xiamiao; in autumn it is called Qiushou; in winter it is called Dongshou.
Royal hunting, will be heavily guarded paddock.Generally speaking, there will be no assassins, but it is hard to guarantee that a dark and daring prince will take this opportunity to use private soldiers who secretly spent a lot of money and material resources to train, and come out to play "the side of the Qing emperor" and use force to fight for the upper hand .After all, when hunting, even the emperor did not have too many guards around him to protect him. The forest farm was covered by dense shrubs, which allowed any ambitious person to risk everything.
The charming words are clear, and Jia Amnesty naturally understands that if the accident happens earlier this year, it will most likely appear on the Royal Qiumi.And Shui Chen's matter of letting You Mei go to Xiaotangshan to evade, it must be a bad move.
Jia Amnesty bared her teeth, feeling a little chilly, and said, "I think this year's paddock will be very lively."
Charming smiled, obviously agreeing with Jia She's words.Although it is a summer away from Qiumi, there is plenty of time in terms of arrangement, but the corresponding possible changes must be carefully considered.
Mei Mei felt that there was nothing wrong with her side. After all, her son-in-law looked like a fool, but he was actually a very smart person. As Jia Zheng who is very busy and highly valued.
Wu Mei thought for a while, and said bluntly to Jia Amnesty: "Jia Zheng's place... the son-in-law should keep an eye on him. It's best to keep him busy, so that Jia Zheng, who is too idle to panic, will make trouble again."
"Meiniang, don't worry, my husband is very skilled in man-spotting..." Especially the one who stared at Jia Zheng, he was so proficient that he couldn't be more proficient.It's just that it's a little difficult to keep Jia Zhengzhen busy. After all, the Ministry of Industry is just an agency in charge of construction and engineering matters. No matter how busy it is, how busy it can be.We must know that it is the craftsmen who mainly do things, not the officials who coordinate people's work.So to keep Jia Zheng busy, it's really... difficult.
Jia Amnesty had a troubled expression on his face, just when he was about to say something, Mei Mei seemed to know what he was thinking, and spoke softly. "Jia Zheng always likes to pretend that he is very busy in front of the old lady, so flattering the old lady will deepen this impression. Given Jia Zheng's good face, he will naturally not reveal his shortcomings. You, son-in-law Anyway, now I’m taking a casual job, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment are free to go, so what’s the point of adding a Ministry of Industry. Anyway, the son-in-law and Jia Zheng are blood brothers, and they often communicate with each other outside, and outsiders can’t see anything."
Jia Amnesty nodded deeply: "It is indeed a solution, but Mei Niang, this sacrifice for my husband is really a big one, and I have to make up for my husband."
Jia She and Jia Zheng can be regarded as a natural mismatch. Although it is a bit exaggerated to hate each other, it really agrees with the relationship between Jia She and Jia Zheng.Don't look at Jia Zheng, when facing Jia She, he always acted like a good brother who said "brother is right" and "brother has any advice", but if there is a chance to step Jia Amnesty into the quagmire, Jia Zheng will definitely be the first A hands-on.After all, in Jia Zheng's heart, Jia Amnesty has always been useless, and Jia Zheng has always believed in what Jia's mother said about the future of the Rongguo Mansion depends on him. In the end, the brother who was useless first snatched the title because he was born a few years earlier. , and later became the emperor's son-in-law because of that outstanding, handsome face that is rarely seen in the entire capital, and successfully performed a model of how a dude can reach the pinnacle of life.
Although Jia Zheng said in his heart that he despised Jia She's soft rice and was No. 1 in the soft rice world, it was not a kind of envy. After all, he just wanted to eat the soft rice that Jia She ate, and he couldn't eat it.
Facing Jia Amnesty, he almost reached the pinnacle of life with just one face. Jia Zheng was envious and jealous. Although he was still respectful when meeting Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, the alienation could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.Often, Jia Amnesty goes to greet Jia's mother and just leaves before Jia Zheng appears.It can be said that although they live together in Rongguo Mansion, if there is no business, it is normal for Jia Zheng and Jia She not to meet each other for ten days and a half months.
With such an alienated and rigid brotherhood, Jia She felt that it was a great sacrifice to face Meimei's proposal of "keep close to him and follow him closely".
"What kind of compensation does the son-in-law want?" Mei Mei pursed her lips and smiled, without any reservations, and said in a nonchalant manner: "As long as the son-in-law says, I will definitely satisfy my wife with all my strength."
"Really." Jia She's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Mei Mei with sparkle, the dazzling eyes made Mei Mei's smile deepen.
"When did you ever cheat your son-in-law for your wife?"
Suddenly, a tinge of pink quietly climbed to the tip of Jia She's ear.Jia Amnesty made a fist with his right hand, placed it on his chin, fake coughed a few times and then said. "Meiniang will take good care of her body these two days, master is waiting."
This guy, now he has learned how to speak with full of hints.
She watched Jia She walk out of the room with charming eyes like silk, and then every once in a while, he personally brought in a bowl of eggs in brown sugar water that was as thick as blood.
Charming was stunned for a moment, her kindness, I don't know where I heard the nonsense, when she gave birth last time, I made her this sweet and fishy brown sugar water egg, and now I think of this one out.
This is full of love, even if she clenches her teeth, she will eat it with all her might, so that she can live up to the consort's intentions.
With a charming smile, she took the bowl of eggs in brown sugar water, which was so sweet and greasy, and said in a gentle voice as if dripping water: "It's time for dinner, this bowl of concubine's heart, as a wife, I will eat it slowly. The son-in-law doesn't have to stay in the room to accompany his wife, it's better to have dinner first."
Jia She nodded, and said in a soft voice, "Mei Niang, rest well. After the court tomorrow, my husband will come back early to accompany you."
Wu Mei hummed, and then buried herself in eating this bowl of eggs in brown sugar water that was so sweet and greasy.Jia Amnesty went out of the room and went to the main room for dinner.At this moment, the Heavenly Snake appeared on the quilt of the bed without anyone noticing it, and said in a faint voice with a little mourning.
"Didn't it mean that as long as you can marry your benefactor, you will be happy even if you eat rocks. Now it's so hard to eat this bowl of brown sugar water eggs that exudes a sweet smell. Master, you are spoiled by benefactor's kindness."
Facing the 'sour words' of the Heavenly Snake, Mei Mei didn't even change her face, she still started with a smile, and kneaded the Heavenly Snake into a ball with lightning speed, and then threw it into it accurately with a snap. into the blue and white pine, bamboo, plum, jade pot and spring vase placed on the table.
"You're very idle!" She said in a charming and cool tone.
As he straightened his body, the Heavenly Snake, who was about to climb out of the blue and white pine, bamboo, plum, jade pot and spring vase, suddenly felt an awe-inspiring murderous aura coming towards him, and immediately bowed his body, saying flatteringly. "Not idle, Xiaotian is not idle at all. Xiaotian came to look for the master, just wanted to tell the master, today Xiaotian stopped another conspiracy against Brother Yu and Brother Xun in the East Palace."
Xiaotian puffed up his chest, and seemed very proud to invite several grandchildren of the same generation as Shui Yu to invite Shui Yu to ride a horse. As a result, the fact that the horse was tampered with and the food Shui Yu ate were mutually exclusive and easily produced. □□The thing about fresh fruit and fresh shrimps was mentioned.Charming narrowed her eyes immediately, and said in a cold tone.
"Have you found out who did it?"
"It's still under investigation, but Xiaotian suspects that the person who did it will not be just one person, it may be a combination of several parties. After all, at the court today, Emperor Wen announced that the distribution of the princes in four days was interpreted by interested people as Emperor Wen's intentions." Suppress the crown prince who is the most popular. Now the prince has a weak heir. If the only son of the scorpion has an accident, and the only son of the concubine eats something by mistake, then the prince will be barren. The master once said that the heirs of the king are not rich. It's taboo."
The attack on Shui Yu and Shui Yu was brutal, direct and ruthless, but I have to say that if this trick is really successful, it will really create a big disadvantage for Shui Chen.After all, since ancient times, there has never been a case of the extinct prince ascending to the throne. Even if Shui Chen is the heir of Zheng'er Bajing, he will face the situation of being abolished by Emperor Wen himself.Unless Shui Chen can break the bowl, he will be the same as Emperor Wen.
But even if Shui Chen really did this with all his might, how could those behind-the-scenes people who were vicious enough to attack children wouldn't have any back-ups, so they might just blindly use sterilization drugs to completely cut off the possibility of Shui Chen's fertility.
Thinking of this, Meimei faintly developed a bottom line that she didn't want to stick to the 'children' anymore. It can be seen how angry Meimei is to the insidious person who attacked Shui Yu and Shui Yu.
At this time, the Heavenly Snake said again: "Brother Yu, Xiaotian used his own way to treat his body, and let the hands who did it enjoy the 'fun story' of frightening a horse and breaking its legs. Brother Xiao, when we find out who the mastermind behind the scenes is, we might as well use his own way to punish him. To be honest, Xiaotian is very curious how the person behind the scenes knows about shrimp and meat. Eating fresh fruit together can make people poisoned.”
