hairpin family

Chapter 242 Three Years
In the spring of the 32nd year of David Xingyuan, Chang'an City stood side by side with the palace, Fucui Pavilion.

Yun Yi stepped upstairs on the wooden stairs. In the living room on the third floor, Qin Zhao fell on the couch and sat up lazily when he heard Yun Yi's voice going upstairs: "Yun Yi, all the guests are leaving." right?"

Yun Yi smiled and said: "Go back to the princess, they are all gone. Just now His Highness told the servants, saying that you have been tired for a day today, and you will have dinner at Fucui Pavilion for your own use, so you don't have to go to the old concubine's side. Your Highness said again , but you don’t have to get up too early tomorrow, so you can take a break. After a few days, Mr. Wang will return to Beijing. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go to the Yin Garden to see if there is anything else you want to add or subtract, Mr. Wang. When I come back, I still live in the Yin Garden. Now we can't transfer any personnel in the Fucui Pavilion. You can go to the main courtyard to see in the future and help the Yin Garden pick out a few maids. It will be useful when you come back. "

Today is Qin Zhao's Jiji Ceremony, and she is really tired after a day of tossing around.

Now in Fucui Pavilion, Lan Niang is married to an official of the palace, from a nine-rank official position.Yun Xiang also got married with Li Huai, and even took out the small balls. Li Huaida followed Luo Jingnian, helped Luo Jingnian manage some of his private property, and became a serious official of the Yue State Duke's Mansion, so Yun Xiang naturally came with him Luo family.

Zisu is married to Qin He, and they are very affectionate.It's just that it's not easy to work in Qin Zhao's yard after being married, and they moved out of Fucui Pavilion, but both of them are Qin Zhao's people. It is impossible to run away.In terms of loyalty, there is no one in Manfu Cui Pavilion who is more loyal than her.

Because Yunshang and Yunyi are younger, they are not married yet, but Yunshang and Qin Ming are in love, and when they reach their age, Qin Zhao will also complete the couple.On the other hand, Yunyi still had an innocent look on her face, making Qin Zhao not sure what to do with this girl in the future.

Because Zisu and the others are all married, and now Yunshang is in charge of Fucui Pavilion. Although Yunyi looks romantic, her behavior is much older than before, and she has become very considerate.Yun Shang's mouth became more and more fierce, and none of the maids and women in Fucui Pavilion were afraid of her.

Instead, I mentioned two other personal maids, one named Yun Shu and the other named Yun Wu. Not only did Yun Shu look and temper like the married Yun Xiang, but he also had a very similar voice. He ordered her to come, put it in the Fucui Pavilion for a while, and then lifted it up.

Yun Wu doesn't like to talk, but she is very meticulous. She is the most boring among the maids.She is in charge of Qin Zhao's daily life.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You are also tired. After a while, I will go to bed after dinner. You and Yun Shu will stay to serve, and tell Yun Shang and Yun Wu to get up early and go to bed early. These two days, Yun Shang and Yun Wu But tired."

Yun Yi smiled and said: "Yes, I will go downstairs to talk about it later." Then I found a box from the cabinet, "This is sent by Master Yun and Madam, it is a congratulatory gift for the Princess, and the slave specially made it Put it away, don't the county chief want to look at it?"

Her coming-of-age ceremony, because of the restriction of status, and because Qin Huaiyong's family, Yunrui's father, A Cainiang, Xia Shi and Xiao Yuanzi were unable to come, Qin Zhao always felt a little regretful, for women of this era , the 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is the most important day in a woman's life.

Her Jiji ceremony was held in an ancient manner, and it was very grand, almost all the noble ladies in Chang'an City were dispatched.She has been tossed all day, but she has never been so tired before.

After taking the box that Yunyi handed over and opening it, Qin Zhao smiled.

Inside are four pieces of jewellery, each of which is a five-phoenix step rocker, a small pearl corolla, a rough ebony hairpin, and a handkerchief embroidered in a rather ugly way.

Bu Yao and the little flower crown must have been prepared by Daddy Yun and A Cai Niang as congratulatory gifts for her. Needless to say, the wooden hairpin was carved by Xia Shi himself. Embroidered.

Now that this family has been taken to Chang'an City, Qin Zhaoyuan wanted them to live in the city, which is also convenient, but Yunrui and A Cai were unwilling to live or die, and in the end Qin Zhao had no choice but to let them live in his own farm. Because she was good at studying, Qin Zhao asked Uncle Pei to teach her, but Yuanzi was a girl who liked to use knives and guns. Daddy Yun's marksmanship, she was very good at it. .The little girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and a pair of big eyes are round and bright, which makes people like it.

Looking at the box of gifts, Qin Zhao laughed and handed it to Yun Yi: "Keep away Bu Yao and the corolla, I will just use this wooden hairpin tomorrow. Although the embroidered handkerchief is a bit ugly, prepare it for me." Tomorrow. For the next two days, you and Yunshang will help clean up the garden. When it’s done, I’ll go to the farm first. My brother will be back in four or five days. Let’s stay in the farm for a day If you come back soon, you won’t be late to meet brother.”

Yun Yi smiled and said good, thought for a while, and smiled again: "When Mr. Lang comes back, there will be many happy events in our family. Miss Sixuan from the British government is waiting to marry our Mr. Changning, and Princess Changning The marriage with General Lu is also going to be done, and the next one is the Lord Yixing and you."

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "According to what you said, it's true. I'm afraid our family will be busy with weddings this year. I won't talk about my brother's marriage. The yard has been cleaned up a long time ago. Sister Sixuan has seen it herself. Just waiting to get married, my elder brother moved in from Yinyuan. My aunt also agreed to the matter between my second sister and General Lu. This time, General Lu and my brother returned to Beijing together for the purpose of getting married. It turns out that the third sister is not married yet, but there is nothing to hide. Her marriage with the son of Prince Cheng's mansion has also been settled, and the ceremony can also be done when the marriage of the second sister is finalized. The second sister is two years older than me At the age of [-], Princess Cheng has been anxious to marry her, I don't think it will be delayed until next year, I guess it will be done before the end of the year."

After hearing this, Yun Yi covered her mouth and smiled.

Qin Zhao gave her a white look: "Damn girl, you are seventeen years old, and I will marry you if I stay with you for another two years. You led me to say this, don't you have someone you like and want to marry?"

Yun Yi gave her a blank look: "Your maidservant is laughing at the princess. After the matter of the princess Changning and the county master has been settled, the marriage between you and the young master should also be settled, right? I see that Madam Wei is also very anxious. I can’t wait to marry you back home as soon as possible. Now Mrs. Chen and Miss Jinwubiao are both married, and Brother Qi from Miss Jinwubiao’s family can call someone. Even Chenniang is pregnant, isn’t the princess also coming to get married? when people?"

Jin Wu and the second brother of the You family got married two years ago, and gave birth to Brother Qi a year ago, which made the elders of the Chen You family happy.

Luo Jingchen was also married to Uncle Pei's cousin on the bamboo slips. This marriage was unexpected, but the two were really well matched, and they loved each other very much after marriage.

Thinking of their marriage, Qin Zhao couldn't help sighing secretly. The marriage between Qi Liangqin and Cousin Jinghua failed after all. Aqin married into Wei Wangfu. With three concubines, there is no need to mention singing girls.Prince Wei's son will inherit the prince's title in the future, and he has a few concubines, so there is really nothing to be said, it's a pity for A Qin.

Cousin Jinghua has gone out to study because of this incident, and hasn't returned to Beijing for more than a year, so he doesn't know what's going on now.

Qin Zhao secretly sighed.

After Auntie found out about Changning and Lu Yue, Changning begged Princess Jinyang for a long time. Lu Yue made great achievements in suppressing the Western Turks a few years ago, and was promoted to a general of the fourth rank. After Aunt knew about it, she readily agreed. Let me tell you about his marriage with Changning, and tell the Luo family in person.Unexpectedly, Grandpa Luo made an appointment with her for Jingnian Luo again.

Thinking of Luo Jingnian, Qin Zhao couldn't help but blush.This guy said before that he would marry her when she grows up, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Luo Jingnian is already 23 years old, if it weren't for the fact that she was too young, not yet ready to marry, she would probably have started a family by now, even that bastard Chen Bohu would have married a wife.

Speaking of Chen Bohu's marriage is also funny, a few years ago he rescued a little lady who sold her body to bury her husband in the street, and later because the little lady pestered her, he was kicked out by the third aunt, and the little lady didn't know what to do. Last spring, he came to pester him again, but he was actually guarding outside the gate of Duke Lu's mansion.Chen Erhuo is helplessly entangled, he is a big man, he is not easy to use force with a young lady, he is worrying about how to get out, but he is seen by a girl on a horse, and the image of Chen Erhuo is too much like a street The dandy who molested the little lady, the girl thought of it, and whipped Chen Erhuo with a whip, and shouted loudly: "At the foot of the emperor, in front of the Duke's mansion, you dare to moles the girl in the street. Let me teach you a lesson, so that you, a fat man, know that women in the world are not to be bullied."

Chen Erhuo was originally entangled by the little lady and couldn't get away, so he ran away violently. Now that he was whipped, he was even more furious, so he threw the little lady away and rushed up to fight with the girl on horseback , but that girl is actually a good horsewhip, and she whipped Chen Erhuo all over her body.

It was only when Chen Jinwu, who was returning to her natal family, met her that she saved her elder brother.Although the girl said that Chen Erhuo was easy to catch, she could fight Chen Jinwu, but she was defeated in just a few moves.

The little lady who sold her body to bury her father came up to pester her again, Chen Jinwu asked, and then opened up the matter. First, she dismissed the pestering lady, and then asked the girl on horseback, only to find out that this girl is actually the residence of the Marquis of Weiyuan who lives far away in Jingzhou. The girl from the second bedroom.

Because her father was transferred back to the Ministry of War in the capital, this time she also accompanied her parents back to Chang'an City to settle down. Today, she and her parents came to Lu Guogong's mansion to meet the old Duke and Mrs. Pei. Miss Hou is unwilling to accompany her parents in a carriage , so he rode the horse first, but he ran into the case of Chen Erhuo and the little lady.

Since he was his own family, Chen Erhuo's beating was nothing.

Chen Jinwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to invite the waiting girl into the mansion, and reported their names to each other. Because the waiting girl misunderstood Chen Erhuo, she even beat him up, which was extremely embarrassing.

Waiting girl's surname is waiting and her name is Jinxia. She is a five-year-old girl at home, and everyone calls her Wuniang at home.

Speaking of which, the late old Marquis Wei Yuan was also the most founding marquis, along with Old Duke Lu and the old princes of the Qin family, were the first to oppose the tyranny of the previous dynasty, and then followed the old man who is now His Majesty.These few families in the capital were originally family friends, but because they lived in Jingzhou for a long time, they gradually alienated each other, and every year they only gave each other some gifts during the New Year's festival. all at once.

This waiting girl is fifteen years old, although she may not be very beautiful in appearance, she is full of vigor, and her pair of almond eyes are especially lively. When Mrs. Pei saw her, she was overjoyed.After coming and going, Mrs. Pei had the idea of ​​letting Miss Wu be her eldest grandson's wife.

As a result, I talked to Mrs. Hou, and after Mrs. Hou went back, she discussed with Second Master Hou and agreed.

Although Chen Erhuo looked unreliable, but the family style of the Chen family was not bad, even though Chen Erhuo had done many stupid things, but in reality, he couldn't find a single bad thing, but he didn't act in a good way Forget it, but he is the grandson of Chen's parents, and the sons of the Chen family's old Duke are not bad. Even Chen Erhuo's own father is also in charge of Jinwuwei, and he has won the emperor's heart. Although Jinwuwei's general rank is only third rank , but not everyone can do it, because in charge of the security work of the entire Chang'an city, it is impossible for someone who is not trusted by the emperor to take this position.The second master of the Chen family is also the captain of the attached horse. The Chen family can prosper for at least a hundred years.

The old Chen family has no concubine style. At least her daughter will not be troubled by the affairs of the inner house when she is married. Moreover, Jinniang's temperament is not suitable for ordinary people. It is rare that Mrs. Pei likes her. The young couple had a conflict, and with the elders taking care of them, at least they wouldn't suffer any grievances.

Hou Erye thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a good marriage. After agreeing, the two families quickly made an engagement for the two, and at the end of the year, the two married.

At that time, Jinxia and Chen Jinwu's sister-in-law were like-minded, and they were both able to make troubles. Because Chen Jinwu got such a proud sister-in-law, I don't know how many times he praised it in front of Qin Zhao and the others.

Qin Zhao also likes Jinniang's innocent and straightforward temper.

Chen Erhuo and Jinniang also made a lot of jokes after they got married. Poor Chen Erhuo is now being submissive and submissive by a little lady, but he has absorbed a lot of the former dude. Happy old man Whenever I bring it up with Mrs. Pei, I always say that the old Chen family married a good bride.

From time to time, Yun Chang brought Yun Shu over for dinner.

After dinner, Qin Zhao felt sore and tired, but couldn't sleep. Yun Chang said, "Today, I collected a lot of things. Since the princess can't sleep, why don't you take out all the slaves and maids? If you like it, leave it alone." It is used on weekdays, and the other slaves can also be put away, and it will be saved in two days before being divided."

Qin Zhao thought so too.

While looking at the congratulatory gift, I remembered that I didn't see Princess Geshu today: "It seems that Cousin Pei from the residence of Prince Shu didn't see you today?"

Yun Chang smiled and said: "The prince is here, but you didn't look at it. The imperial concubine heard that she was diagnosed with a happy pulse. Because the month is still young, she didn't dare to go out, but she also sent something, or the slave girl will find it for the county. Lord see?"

Qin Zhao waved his hand.

In my heart, I was also happy for Pei Feise.

"Cousin Pei gave birth to a daughter for the first time. It would be great if this baby is a boy. By the way, since we know it, let's say that you can prepare some medicinal materials for me later, and send someone to the Shizi Mansion tomorrow."

Yun Shang agreed.

Qin Zhao leaned on the bed, watching Yun Shang and Yun Shu sort out the congratulatory gifts they received today, most of them were jewelry, Qin Zhao picked out a few he liked, and asked Yun Shang to register the rest and put them into the warehouse.

From time to time, in the middle of the night, I blow out the lights and take a rest.

The next day, because I woke up early, I went to the old concubine to ask for Ann.

When I met Qin Yun and Qin Han, they greeted each other.Since the twins were ten years old, they also set up their own yards, but they came early.

Qin Han smiled and said: "Fourth sister got a lot of good things yesterday, I don't know if she likes the armlet I gave to fourth sister."

Qin Zhao said indifferently: "Is there any reason why I don't like Ah Han's intentions? I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to say thank you."

Qin Han smiled innocently and sweetly: "It's good that the fourth sister likes it." Then he asked Qin Zhao, "I heard from my grandmother that brother should go back to Beijing in a few days, and my aunt asked the fourth sister to help clean up the Yinyuan. Why don't you help the fourth sister clean up together? I also get a lot of good things from the New Year's presents that brother sends to Beijing every year, so cleaning up brother's house is exactly what I should do."

Qin Han has become more and more beautiful in recent years.There is a faint look of allure, if a few years later, I don't know what kind of stunning appearance it will be.

Now that the family is in harmony on the surface, when the court decides to deal with Anxi, they don't know how Yunhe should deal with himself.

If Yunhe is also connected, even though Qin Yun and Qin Han are the sons of the Qin family, if their biological mother is like this, they will have a hard time.

Although the crime was worse than a married woman, Qin Zhao sneered, those two had her own mother's blood on their hands, how could she let Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe stay out of it?

Thinking about this, Qin Zhao thought about Shan Xiaoying again. My elder brother has returned to Beijing, and I don't know when Shan's cousin will come back. In three years, Shan Xiaoying only returned to Chang'an City once, and he stayed in a hurry for more than a month. Then returned to the northwest.

While talking, Changning and Yixing also came hand in hand.

The old concubine has grown older in the past few years. Because of Qin Zhao begging Yun Rui and A Cai for grace three years ago, the old concubine refused to see Qin Huaiyong again. They lived in Sanshengju, but they were not allowed to enter Rongshouju, but Qin Yun and Qin Han still came to pay respects to the old concubine every thirty days because they were grandchildren.

The old concubine's handling like this did Qin Zhao a favor, and he didn't have to see Qin Huaiyong and his wife often.She is the old concubine who has long said that she does not need to go to the Sanxing Residence to pay respects to the true love couple. In the past, the true love couple could only be seen in the Rongshou Residence, but now it is impossible to escape except for festivals throughout the year. It would be nice to meet two or three times.

As soon as Qin Zhao remembered that yesterday's Jiji Ceremony was presided over by the true love, he felt all sorts of upset.However, the true love is her nominal father and stepmother, but that's all they can do.

This is the most frustrating.

After paying his respects, he had breakfast with the old concubine, and said a few words with the old concubine, and they all left one after another, but the old concubine left Qin Zhao behind.

"When your brother returns to Beijing, it's time to get married to the Li family. It's time to get ready. I told your aunt a few days ago that Zhe Lang is the eldest grandson of our family. This dowry gift can't be bad. Let's let it go later. Wan Ying will go to the warehouse with you to have a look. If there are any suitable ones, whatever they are, take them for your aunt to add to the dowry list. Half of my things belong to you and your elder brother, and you are yourself. Just pick out what you like, and let Wanying take the account."

Qin Zhao is really not short of money. She has a salary every year, the income of Shiyi Zhuangzi, tea shop and tea shop, and she also has [-]% of the shares in the old Chen's wine shop. In addition, there are secret ones such as A Shu The shops he runs are Bajie's caravan.After one year, there are more than [-] taels of silver in income.If it weren't for the income from the business managed by Ah Tie in Northwest China, which would have been given to Father Yun and Ah Cai, her annual income would be even more.

Even Qin Zhe, not counting his own salary, received nearly 2 taels of dividends from the varnish workshop a year.

In the future, the old concubine will not give her dowry, and the palace will not give her dowry. Only the dowry she earns for herself will definitely be regarded as the first among the noble girls in Chang'an City.
