The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 144

Did Liu Meili say these words? Tanchun didn't want to endorse her.

But at this time, Tanchun thought about it and realized that he didn't tell the truth about Liu's family's original intention to marry their daughter to Liu Xianglian, nor did they reveal the fact that Liu Meili was promised to marry in the temple.

After the imperial decree was issued, even if the Liu family wanted to marry their daughter to Liu Xianglian, they would probably only be concubines.

Another one, in her mind, the daughters of the Liu family are of great use, so they shouldn't be wasted on their second family.

There is a world of difference between being a concubine for the emperor and being a concubine for a fourth rank military officer.

Therefore, if the Liu family gave Liu Xianglian the holy fighters they cultivated to enter the palace, that would be a great talent but a small use.

It's just that the idea of ​​experience is not important. Tanchun forgot the fact that the girls in the Liu family have the same father, but they all have a different mother.

......

"By the way, I remembered. Isn't there a trend of family recognition in the capital now? Is the Liu family just here to recognize relatives?"

When Zhao Xiuning heard what Tanchun said, she gave her an annoyed look.

Who is the hero who started this trend?

Tanchun touched his nose and smiled very cutely. "If Mrs. Liu really intends to do so, wouldn't Mom get two daughters for nothing?"

"What are you talking about? It's never pies that fall from the sky. It's traps." Seeing Liu Liu, Zhao Xiuning also turned to look at her, waited for her to explain, his heart turned, and then he continued, " What the Liu family wants is for our family to enter the palace. What's the benefit of being close to our family? I see, if this girl from the Liu family is favored in the future, she will also be supported by the Liu family. If she is not favored, it will be a crime , but our family will be implicated."

Zhao Xiuning really said it.

The girls of the Liu family are not at ease.After entering the palace, he was pampered for a while, and then involved in the secrets of the palace and the murder of the emperor's heir. Not only the Liu family, the mother's family, was sentenced to exile, but the unlucky god-in-law who was recognized was also punished. implicated.

"Then why are you going to refuse?"

Taking a glance at Tanchun, Zhao Xiuning said with a half-smile, "I just say that my fortune is poor, and there is only one Omen star in my hit. If there are more, I can't bear it."

Tanchun: "..." The son also said that she was his little padded jacket before, but today he said that he was a magic star.Have you ever seen someone whose Omen star is as cute and filial as her?

......

"Why are you here again? Don't you need to greet your aunt and your cousin?" Looking at someone who came in through the window very naturally, Tanchun played with beads without raising his head.

Recently, she drew some beads and plans to play with a few pairs of bead curtains by herself.These bead curtains were taken back to Liu's house as a dowry, not only beautiful, but also a good way to decorate the house.

Although Tanchun saw someone saying that, she knew in her heart that if this person didn't come today, she would be angry.

"Our family has no place to live. My aunt and the girls from the Liu family all go to the inn. It's midnight, why should I go there?"

If you cast a sideways glance at someone, you know it's midnight.

Tanchun is relatively independent, and he is very happy that Aunt Liu did not live near her new home.Thinking of this, he raised his head and waved to Liu Xianglian with a smile.

Liu Xianglian originally wanted to walk over, but when she saw Tanchun beckoning him to go over, she went even faster.

He hugged him into his arms, hugged him for a while, and then accompanied Tanchun to wear beads to pass the time.

Sure enough, anything is better than embroidery, at least when wearing beads, the girl in her arms will not prick him with a needle angrily.

Tanchun was in a good mood, and Liu Xianglian was in an even better mood, but Aunt Liu was very angry.

She originally wanted to live in Liu Xianglian's house when she came to Chang'an County this time, but when she arrived, she realized that the house could not accommodate people at all.

So I had to send someone to live in the best inn in Chang'an County in a small courtyard.She was annoyed that her life was not going her way, but what made her even more annoyed was that Liu Xianglian was so impolite that she didn't even know about it.

Does he still have her as an aunt in his eyes?

Aunt Liu originally thought that Liu Xianglian would come to see her around dinner time.

She could also take the opportunity to pull the two concubines out to talk to their aunts and nephews, and then see which girl is more suitable for him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xianglian is also a bachelor.

If you point at him and rush to become the third grandson, don't even think about that kind of thing.

The only aunt he cares about in his heart is a girl who always greets him with a mace.

Aunt Liu waited for Liu Xianglian to arrive, and waited for Liu Xianglian to arrive, so she had to suppress her anger and send someone to find him.How could she have thought that the person she would see in the next afternoon would not know where she had gone.

The servants sent came back to report and asked if they were going to Xishan Daying to find someone?

Aunt Liu twitched the corners of her mouth, her eyes were full of gloom, now she went to Xidaying to look for someone, even if she did, it would be dawn.

Sending the two concubines who were still in her room back to sleep, Aunt Liu was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.

The next day, even the makeup on her face couldn't hide the thick dark circles under her eyes.However, it made Zhao Xiuning feel that it was not dignified for this person to put on such makeup at his age.

After saluting and greeting each other, Tanchun also exchanged salutes with the two girls from the Liu family.

After Aunt Liu sat down, she smiled and praised Tanchun, and then expressed her future intentions.

When Zhao Xiuning heard this, she said regretfully, "When I saw the two girls of my wife's family, I felt close, but I never thought there would be such a reason. It's just a pity, a senior monk once did the calculation for me last year, and I There is only such a daughter in this life, if you go against the destiny and force the fate of this daughter, it will definitely shorten the life of that girl."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "Look at these two girls, they are as juicy as those water onions. How can you bear to let them die at such a young age, alas! But there is no fate."

As soon as Zhao Xiuning said this, Liu Liu lowered his head and drank tea, while Tanchun was holding a handkerchief, also with a look of regret.But my heart is full of smiles.

Recently, my old lady has become more and more interesting, and even brought out any eminent monks.

However, there are some things that are really better to be believed than to be believed.

Just like in the original book, Mother Jia told Taoist Zhang that it was not easy for Baoyu to marry early.

These words really should be in this life.

Baoyu married Xia Jingui because he married early.If she married later, it is estimated that such a precious wife would not marry the second wife of the declining Jia family.

Now hearing that my mother has also learned to use Jia's mother's set of words to fool people, I feel a little funny, but also a little indescribable.

Since ancient times, deep affection can't be kept, only the routine can win people's hearts... the Red Mansion version?

Compared with Tanchun and Liu Liu, who are purely watching dramas.The Liu family's three mothers who came to visit today are quite restless.

When Aunt Liu heard Zhao Xiuning's words, her eyes instantly shone with a brightness comparable to that of a thousand-degree light bulb.

This Mrs. Jiang is not authentic, why didn't she talk about this kind of thing earlier, if she said it sooner, she would bring over the two concubine daughters who stayed in the capital, by the way, the concubine's own mother can also bring her over Recognize casually.

No matter what, you must recognize a godfather.

This is the highest state of subjugation without fighting.

Afterwards, Zhao Xiuning cryptically said a few words that she was envious of the fact that the Liu family had many daughters, and that they could enter the palace to fight for their future.Although these relatives can't be recognized, they are also real relatives, and it is only serious to have a lot of walking around in the future.

Zhao Xiuning, the official wife, has been doing this for a long time. The Liu family intends to send their daughters into the palace. Even if they can't send all of them, at least there will be some girls who stay in the palace.

At this time, the situation is unclear, and it is not good to have a bad relationship with the Liu family.But it is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to be tied to the same boat together.

When Aunt Liu saw that the matter of recognizing her godfather hadn't been achieved, she didn't feel regretful in her heart.Even though she recognized her god-in-law, it would allow a few maids to calm down before entering the palace, so that she would have too many chances to attack.But it's not without benefits if she doesn't recognize her as a godmother, at least if she misses before a few girls enter the palace... no, no, if she doesn't recognize her as a godmother, then there is no such thing as entering the palace or not entering the palace .

Putting this matter aside, Aunt Liu turned her head to look at Tanchun again.

Needless to say, Tanchun's appearance is a natural beauty.And that rule is absolutely perfect in front of people.

At least it's much better than the Liu sisters.

But in Aunt Liu's heart, no matter how good Tanchun is, there is no way to satisfy her.

Because of her existence and appearance, many of her plans were disrupted.

She even talked about Tanchun with Liu Meili a few days ago, and she was not without regrets at that time.The biggest regret between her and Uncle Liu is that they didn't make a good marriage for their son before the last term expired.

It doesn't matter whether you get married or not, with such a good in-law, at this time, there are many ways for your family to open up.

Fortunately, these days in the capital, except for the very beginning, there are still people who know about their family, so no one cares about them now.

Before leaving, Uncle Liu also talked to Aunt Liu about other members of the Liu family who stayed in Guangzhou.If there is no news again, I will write to them and ask them to sell their properties there and return to the capital.

Before Uncle Liu entered the capital, he originally thought about going back to Guangzhou. After all, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money.The coastal area of ​​Guangzhou, not to mention merchants going to the sea and alleys, and some foreign caravans such as Zhenzhen Kingdom, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Fuze in Guangzhou is no less than a land of fish and rice twice a year.

The previous few times, Ren Man followed his will and returned to Guangzhou, but he did not expect such a thing to happen this time.

When Uncle Liu thought of the news that he bought it at a big price, he also understood something.

The emperor has been on the throne for several years, and the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. It's time for those who are on the wrong side to be liquidated.

Uncle Liu felt that the edict under the draft was aimed at him.

From Uncle Liu's point of view, with the current situation of the Liu family, if they don't send their daughters into the palace to try their luck, let alone themselves, even if their sons become officials in the future, they will surely be suppressed.

Uncle Liu was really right, the imperial decree really came from their family.

This matter, we have to start with Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian casually told Chang Tuo about the Liu family's affairs, and Chang Tuo went to the palace to look for his uncle because of Daiyu's affairs, so he inevitably brought up the matter of the draft, and also regarded the fact that the Liu family had five daughters participating in the election as a matter of fact. He joked loudly with his uncle for a while.

Emperor Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled, then turned his head and followed the queen.

The speaker was unintentional, but in the end the listener was intentional.Once they come and go, there will be such an imperial decree promulgated.

Damn, if you want to form a group to clean the harem, you have to see if her little boss agrees.

......

Back to the present, although Aunt Liu was extremely dissatisfied with Tanchun, but the situation was stronger than others, and she had to give Tanchun a generous meeting gift with a look of great liking.

Tanchun glanced at the gift from Aunt Liu, and accepted it with a smile, but he didn't show how much he liked it, which made Aunt Liu very dissatisfied.

In other words, it is just a bayonet box with a standing ballerina, a glass handle mirror inlaid with gemstones, and some things that seem rare in this era, but are very worthless in modern times.

It's not that Aunt Liu insists on Tanchun pretending to be surprised, Tanchun really can't show surprise to these things.

But from Aunt Liu's point of view, this made her feel very unhappy.

Aunt Liu herself is not such a smart person, she is a little proud and a little inferior.She likes others to support her the most, and she feels that as Tanchun Liu Xianglian's prospective fiancée, she must curry favor with her.But he didn't expect that Tanchun's performance was so unsatisfactory.

It was said to be gentle and polite, but in fact it made her feel a lukewarm, dispensable attitude.Now that she accepted such a 'precious' and 'chic' gift, she still acted so indifferently, Aunt Liu was very annoyed.

"Miss Jiang really deserves to be brought up by everyone, our nephew is blessed."

Everyone?
