Inheritance policy

Chapter 175
The carriage bumped along the way.

Xiao Niang's personality is informal, and she talked about everything from left to right, so she simply relied on Xing Zhao all the way, "He is seven years older than me, and the Jiang family is a big family in the Northwest. When he first joined the army, he became Dad's personal guard. I shoot arrows and ride horses, and also teach me how to play swords. The little lady is a little slow in learning these things, so he blushes and quarrels with me, and I just look at him and smile." A letter was delivered, and there was no movement from the other end for two days. I was so angry that I wanted to rush back to the northwest immediately, knock his head open, and see what was inside. Finally, another day later, the letter finally came from the northwest. What is clearly written is his geng post and a dozen pages of dowry list."

The little lady's voice was bright and clear, but sometimes it rose up inexplicably, and sometimes it fell straight down. Her heart went up and down along with the bumps along the way. Xing Zhao laughed unconsciously while listening Mouth.

She was so happy, so happy that her heart warmed like honey overflowing.

Originally, it was just to avoid the emperor's troubles, but by mistake, it justified a heaven-sent marriage.

After crossing the half bridge, you can see the temple gate of Dingguo Temple on the mountainside of Yishan Mountain. Mrs. He came back to visit Mr. Huang’s family with her last time. It’s not a matter of people, but we prayed and worshiped Buddha together. People are already falling apart.

The etiquette of the queen's trip is grand and grand.

The carriage was about to reach the foot of Yishan Mountain. In the silence, Xingzhao suddenly heard the quiet and serene bell from the mountain. It was originally the evening drum and the morning bell, but when the imperial power in the mundane world came, he had to ring the bell to tell Bliss The merciful and compassionate Bodhisattva shouted.

Even monks who devote themselves to practicing Buddhism have desires and goals, and the faces of the world seem not so hateful.

The majestic Dingguo Temple stands in the clouds with its eaves and upturned walls. Nuns with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes stand down in two rows from the 500 steps. The bluestone slabs on the floor are spotlessly wiped, and Princess Pingyang stands at the forefront. , she came over early in the morning and waited, first went to buy [-] taels of incense, and then had a talk with Dingyun Master Taishou, the abbot of Dingguo Temple. It's like breathing through the head.

If you want her to plan carefully for Sister Shan, there's no way!

The emperor wanted to praise and kill the Fang family, but it was cheaper for Sister Shan - she was born from a concubine and raised by a young woman, so how could she have such luck to marry into a family like the Fang family as a clan wife?
She was not in a hurry, her sister-in-law, Empress Fang, was more anxious than she was, and Empress Fang absolutely did not want Sister Shan to marry into the Fang family.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, a little servant came forward nimbly and arranged the small stool for getting off the carriage. Empress Fang lowered her head and pulled her skirt, and got out of the carriage. Everyone kowtowed and sang blessings in unison.

This kind of courtesy is unbearable for others. After Queen Fang said that she would be exempted from the ceremony, Xing Zhao and Xiao Niang jumped out and followed Queen Fang in an orderly manner.

The hatchback has seen the ceremony, Princess Pingyang smiled and walked towards Zhao on the left, Xiao Niang on the right, and introduced Sister Shan to Empress Fang affectionately: "The eldest daughter, Sister Shan, is about to turn fifteen, and she always talks less. Is this the first time you've seen your niece?"

Sister Shan's hands tightened, she quickly raised her eyebrows and stepped forward, lowered her knees, and greeted Empress Fang alone with a blunt voice: "Ashan greets Queen Mother."

"You were raised in a deep boudoir and no one knew about it. You hid the little lady well, but you complained that I didn't know your niece and daughter." Queen Fang smiled and angered Princess Pingyang, and raised her hand to make Sister Shan stand up, "Name It's good to wake up, do you have a baby name?"

"Returning to the empress's words, when I was a child, my mother and concubine often called Ah Shan as good as water, water is good for all things without fighting, and it is the evil of everyone, but no one can win against the strong."

Sister Shan thought about it, and finally became ruthless, her face was very low, and she slowly replied to Queen Fang's words.

Empress Fang's eyes swept across Sister Shan's body, and landed on Princess Pingyang's suddenly darkened expression.

Sister Shan is arrogating! Is it possible that she is happy to talk about her biological mother in front of her aunt, and can't stop showing off Princess Pingyang?
He pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his hand: "What are you doing just standing at the foot of the mountain? Up above is the main hall of the Buddhist hall." He took the lead and walked forward, pulling away the general's words: "Mrs. I don’t have much time in Beijing, so this is the first time I’ve come to Dingguo Temple? Today is the Christmas of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, should I go to worship the Medicine King Bodhisattva first or go to the main hall first?”

"That's right, I went to Shuangfu Street in Ding capital, and I visited the market by the Jiang River, but it's the first time I've been back to Dingguo Temple."

"Next time, I will take Mrs. Pingxihou to the western suburbs for a stroll. The trinkets sold are worthless, but the workmanship is rare."

Sister Shan's words were ignored, she froze for a moment, closed her eyes and covered her eyebrows, bit her lower lip, lifted her skirt and quickly followed her.

Probably every place has to have a gimmick to become popular. The one hundred and eight steps of the Dingguo Temple is its logo. The three young ladies followed behind their elders one by one, quietly, and no one could do it. He didn't open his mouth to speak.

Xiaoniang grew up eating beef and mutton in the northwest and riding a thousand-mile horse. She walked all the way without panting.

Xing Zhao had only walked by once, and he was mentally prepared to follow Xiao Niang quietly, although it was difficult but he could cope.

Only Sister Shan's face turned red when she walked halfway, and before she reached the end, she fell behind Xing Zhao.

Since what is being advocated is "tranquility and delicacy", naturally the noble ladies of the aristocratic family are not active, and they don't like to move. The last time Xingming came with the Huang family, they walked halfway and rested for a quarter of an hour before Mrs. He spoke. Continue to go up.

Queen Fang didn't even call for a break, who dared to say that she couldn't hold on halfway?
After the last step of the blue brick stairs, Empress Fang's long skirt was on the ground, and she turned her head with a smile. Jiang Mingying hurriedly went to help Princess Pingyang, who had fallen three steps away.

"Why doesn't Ah Wu go to help Miss Shan?" Queen Fang's face tightened, she reached out to help Miss Shan herself, and said softly, "But tired? Go to the inner room to eat later. A cup of hot tea, just take it easy. If you don’t feel well, why don’t you tell me first? It’s better to sit on your shoulders, or take a break in the middle, it’s better than being tired like this.”

Xingzhao stepped forward to give his hand, and kept silent for dozens of times, waiting for Princess Pingyang to say something later.

as predicted.

"Sister Shan's body is not very strong, and astragalus and dangshen are always in his mouth." Princess Pingyang took Queen Fang's words in a quiet tone.

A stone in Xing Zhao's heart finally fell to the ground.

Sister Shan's heart was stymied. In fact, not a single word of what my aunt said was wrong. Her father, King Pingyang, was so elegant and beautiful. Her biological mother was thrown aside after only a few days of favor. I went, after giving birth to her eldest daughter, I came from the side room of Tong Fang Fu, and saw her as if she was looking at the eyeballs, she was not allowed to blow the wind, she was not allowed to catch cold, she was not even allowed to read more books, and she was cooking soup on weekdays. Stew medicine is very busy.
But my aunt didn't even think about it, if the reputation of Pingyang Wang's eldest daughter was sick and good medicine spread, what kind of good marriage would she be able to get!
In her opinion, the Fang family's marriage is the best.

It took her eight lifetimes of good luck to marry into the Fang family's aunt's son and grandson as the clan wife. What the aunt... the aunt's words...are cutting off her future.
No, it was her biological mother's little son who cut off her way out!

Sister Shan shrank her hands tightly into her cloud sleeves, clasped her fingertips in her palms, her flesh hurt tightly, she covered her eyes, and said silently in her heart, Amitabha, Bodhisattva, if the believer Zhou Pingshan gets married as she wishes, The Fang family must enshrine half of their wealth on it.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt sadly that chanting Buddha's name was better than asking the emperor to stand firm. Now that I have given her hope, I beg him, I beg him, and we must persevere in this marriage.
Will the emperor insist?

Sister Shan is praying tremblingly, but she can do it but she is sure.

After paying homage to the Medicine King Bodhisattva, Master Jing asked Empress Fang to enter the inner room to bring down several volumes of scriptures enshrined in front of the Buddha, and then invited Queen Fang to enter the inner room to lecture on the scriptures for half an hour. As soon as the nest was opened, the two green-draped carriages drove into the imperial city "rolling and rolling".

The emperor came over early in the morning, and Empress Fang waited on the dinner, poured a cup of tea and served it herself.

Warm light swayed, and the house was quiet inside and out. The palace people waited in the veranda, and a few silhouettes with green temples and clouds were projected from the peach blossom paper pasted on the window lattice, and the atmosphere seemed peaceful and serene.

The emperor leaned back on the kang, took the teacup with one hand, but asked warmly to the little lady with red hanging wrists: "Ah Wu, did you see the elder sister of the Wang family in Pingyang?"

"Yes!" Xing Zhao replied loudly, put down the pen one by one, took the warm handkerchief that Lianyu handed over, wiped his hands, and did not continue.

"I remember that the eldest daughter of King Pingyang, Awu, is five years old?" The emperor asked Queen Fang, and then he said to Xingzhao: "The eldest five years old knows a lot of things, and I can talk to Awu, too. He Huanyi also makes sense, someday Ah Wu will invite the sister of the Pingyang Wang family to come to the palace in the next post?"

Tell her to post a post to rectify Sister Shan's reputation, and hand over handkerchiefs?
She is not down.

"Can the court judge be kept in the Fengyi Hall? Sister Shan panted heavily after walking two ways. Ah Wu felt a little scared when she saw it. She originally made an appointment with Sister Huanyi to kick Baisuo and Shuttlecock. Sister Shan As soon as you come, you can only go to Miaoyin Pavilion to listen to the opera."

Xing Zhao raised his face and spoke with some regret.

She shouldn't have said the next thing.

"Okay! Mr. Chang hasn't finished his homework yet, Ah Wu went into the inner room to trace the red." Queen Fang briefly interrupted Xing Zhao's next words, and when Xing Zhaofu left, she pursed her lips tightly. One sentence is straightforward: "Whether it's the daughter of Lingyi County or Ba Niang's daughter, I like both. Princess Pingyang said that the eldest daughter of King Pingyang is not strong, and she can't support herself without walking a few steps." Stop, how will you have children in the future? No matter how wise the emperor is, he is still a man, and there are always unexpected things. He only sees the goodness of the little lady in his eyes, but he doesn't think as much as us women."

Queen Fang turned sideways as she spoke, her eye circles turned red immediately: "My brother has only one son in total. The Fang family can't take concubines unless they are over forty and childless. Does the emperor want to see Fang's family die without children!"

Putting it in the East and West Six Palaces, only Queen Fang dared to say this.

Only she dared to speak out after decades of affection.

Of course, the emperor thought that the Fang family would end up with no descendants, or that they would not be able to produce successful children and grandchildren, but Empress Fang asked clearly, can he say it openly?

Empress Fang had never cried in front of him, and the emperor chose to do so.

Sister Shan couldn't hold back, she couldn't hold her breath and brushed Princess Pingyang's face in front of her. Princess Pingyang made a final decision and said that Sister Shan's health was behind.
