Inheritance policy

Chapter 32 Thanks
Madam Tai is calm, Madam Tai knows nothing, He Yan wants to cover up, and several key figures are calm, so no matter whether everyone is concerned about Xing Zhao being made the county head, or the Queen Mother giving the inexplicable mirror, They all kept silent, whitewashing peace.

Only Xing Zhao's heart was itching like hundreds of mice scratching at once.

He didn't go out on the first and second day of the first and second day, and visited the ancestral graves on the third and fourth day. Xingzhao didn't get a chance to be alone with Mrs. Tai for a few days.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I have to put on a carriage and go to the palace to thank you again.In the whole family, Mrs. Tai is a Chaopin wife, and the eldest lady is a first-rank imperial order. After the third master He's order came down, she was finally promoted to the fifth-rank official, but the third wife's imperial order has not yet come.Therefore, the ones who went this time were Tai Furen and Da Furen, plus the newly released Wenyang County Head, He Xingzhao.

Entering the palace to thank you is a big event, and they are all dressed up according to the quality, with several people per car.In the car, the eldest lady seemed very happy, chatting with Mrs. Tai all over the place, and Mrs. Tai smiled and responded.

Turn around the Shunzhen Gate, and you will enter the Imperial City. No matter how noble you are or how high an official is, you will get off here.

The servants of the Cihe Palace led him in, and Mrs. Tai greeted him with a smile, and then asked, "Whose wives have arrived?" The servants answered one by one, but only two or three families came.Xing Zhao thought to himself, the He family has always been in a hurry rather than late.

Jinci and Gongci waited between them, and when they were about to enter, there was a letter from Mrs. Tai, who was waiting for the Min family, with several daughters-in-law to say hello.There are fewer and fewer Danshu Iron Coupon Houses in Da Zhou, and in this dynasty, they can be counted on one hand, and the nobles and nobles are even more sympathetic to each other.

Mrs. Tai held hands with Mrs. Min Tai affectionately and talked about everything from health preservation and diet to the marriage of children. Mrs. Min Tai held Mrs. Tai's hand while looking at Xingzhao and said, "It's a pity that our Afan is nearly ten years older than the Wenyang County Lord." Years old, otherwise I will come to propose marriage."

The magistrate of the county has no specific vices. Xing Zhao is wearing a high-waisted skirt with silver and red double blessings inlaid with brocade and bamboo borders, and a magenta peony silk flower is attached to the bun. Pretending not to hear, a reddish face lowered his head and looked at the ground.

Mrs. Tai shook her head humbly, first praised Grandma Min's virtues and words, and then said: "... I was surprised and happy when I received the imperial decree on New Year's Eve. It's rare that the queen mother likes our wife, and she feels grateful for the queen's care—is it right?" Aunt and aunt." The He family has always appeared in front of everyone with a humble and gentle attitude. Although it is no big deal to be a county head, it has pushed the He family, which has always been low-key, to a high place in a strange way. Mrs. Tai must find a reasonable one. reasons explained.Xing Zhao listened quietly, the wit and temptation in the words of these female relatives will never be less.

This end was talking, and people came one after another, and a female official shouted loudly: "The empress dowager is here!"

All the people knelt on the ground, kowtowed their heads three times, and sang together: "May the Empress Dowager have all the blessings and golden safety, and live as long as the heavens!"

Not long after, a woman in her fifties, with long eyebrows and raised eyebrows, of medium build, who looked much younger than Mrs. Tai came out, followed by Princess Yingyi, who was wearing a red pattern and ten brocade patterns.

"Let's get back together!" Empress Dowager Gu came from a low background. She climbed from Cai Nu to Empress Dowager, and after decades of ups and downs in the palace, she developed the habit of always speaking with a bit of restraint and deepness. Let the maid sit down and serve tea.

Xing Zhao sat on the small stilt with his arms half up, and hung his head around the inner hall. She didn't have a title in her previous life, so she couldn't take her turn.Now it seems that Yingyi is really favored in front of the queen mother. The queen mother sat at the head, and Yingyi sat at the queen mother's feet with a brocade pier.

"How many annual gifts do Madam Lin'an Marquis and Master Hou like?" Empress Dowager Gu leaned forward, passed Madam Tai with a smile on her face, and asked Da Furen.

Xing Zhao's heart tightened, his face turned pale.This confirmed her guess!The mirror was rewarded by Queen Mother Gu!She clearly knew everything by now!
The eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, then got up and gave a blessing, and replied with a slightly embarrassed face: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, and the concubine naturally likes it very much. Lord Hou, Lord Hou also likes it very much."

Empress Dowager Gu nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Ying Yi who was beside her, then set her eyes on Xing Zhao who was dressed in red, and raised her jaw: "Is this the Lord of Wenyang County?"

Xing Zhao sighed in his heart, but he didn't delay on his feet, and hurried forward.Mrs. Tai replied, "This is the eldest daughter of Marquis of Lin'an, He Xingzhao, who is seven years old now."

The queen mother waved her hand and said straightly, "Let her speak for herself."

Xing Zhao firmly kowtowed three times, sang auspicious words, and heard the above words again, he was puzzled, what else did he want her to say?I beg you, the Queen Mother, to be kind and take care of your irrelevant daughter, or do I beg you not to support your daughter and help the tyrant drive away your own mother?

Xing Zhao knelt on the ground, his eyes fixed on the blue bricks, and he didn't speak for a long time.The eldest lady was so anxious that she pulled the veil behind her, and said with all her strength: "She—"

She didn't finish a word, and Ying Yi Qiao laughed and interrupted: "Xing Zhao is a very well-behaved little lady, she speaks modestly and acts cautiously, very similar to Marquis Lin'an. The He family's family education is very good. The queen mother looked at Empress He who was in the previous court. I know." After speaking, someone helped Xing Zhao up again, and said warmly to Xing Zhao, "But you are the head of Wenyang County, who was personally appointed by the empress dowager, thank you to the empress dowager."

Xing Zhao pursed his lips, feeling furious. Ying Yi's glove seemed to play well. She was really a five or six-year-old child when she was Xing Zhao. Then choose coaxing and buying, trying to defeat them one by one.Growing up in the royal family, she seems to have forgotten that not everyone chooses interests between interests and kinship!

"Xing Zhao is grateful for God's grace, which is precious and precious, but there is no way to repay it." Anyway, he opened his mouth, and Xing Zhao lowered his eyes after finishing speaking, and said dryly.

Mrs. Tai kept smiling, but no sharp-eyed person noticed that her tightly clenched fists suddenly loosened.

Empress Dowager Gu glanced at His Highness's little lady, and with her head down, she could see that her eyebrows and eyes looked very much like He Yan.In a daze, I remembered that after the family dinner on New Year's Eve, the little daughter who had always loved her knelt in front of her, begging her with tears and howling, "Ah Huan has loved He Yan for half his life, and finally has some hope. Mother Ruo stopped , my daughter turned her head and threw herself into the moat!" After being shocked, she couldn't think of any objection in her heart.She is just the daughter of a concubine from a run-down official family, she can't remember how much she gave up and how much blood was stained to get to this position.The daughter is different, she was born to be favored by thousands of people, she doesn't need to give up anything to make her fulfilled, she has been begging for perfection all her life, her daughter can't do this.
Empress Dowager Gu pressed her tongue, what happened to the Fang family.Can the Fang family still compete with the Tian family?If you get angry, you get it, swallow it in your stomach!It's enough for those honorable families to rely on their ancestors to show off their might!
"Okay, okay, little lady is thin-skinned. In this red dress, standing with Yingyi looks like a mother and daughter." Queen Mother Gu settled down, waved her hand with a smile, and signaled Xing Zhao to sit back.Then he turned to Mrs. Min Tai and said: "Your A Rou will bring you into the palace one day to see. I remember she was born in February, and she will be 11 years old at the beginning of the new year."

Xing Zhao retreated back with low eyebrows, trying his best to forget the last sentence.Sitting on the stool, he couldn't help but smile wryly.After all the hardships, you still can't change your temper, and you have to bear the burden of things that can be covered up with a nice word. Who cares about such resistance.

The sound in the hall seemed to be covered by a bell, "buzzing" rang in my ears, it seemed like a quarter of an hour, and it seemed like several hours.Finally, I heard Empress Dowager Gu's deep voice: "Let's all go to Weiyang Palace. The queen must have been waiting for a long time."

All the talents kowtowed to the ground again, and the servants led them to the west.

Entering the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Empress Fang was already sitting at the top, wearing the bright Huangfeng Yin Nine Heavens pattern, wearing a nine-winged Qu crown, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, and a round face like the eldest lady, but she didn't smile. Straight and straight, very dignified appearance.

At the bottom, there are four or five richly dressed women sitting in the flowers, all of whom are concubines in the row.

As soon as Xing Zhao entered, he saw Queen Fang at a glance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching. Queen Fang treated her like a mother and a daughter.Serving poems and books, teaching etiquette, and teaching morality are all done by myself. Since my mother passed away, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was raised by Queen Fang.

Restraining the surging, followed the crowd to kowtow and salute, and chanted blessings and auspicious words, all of which were the same etiquette, and the empress said that she was flat, and everyone bowed to a few married women.Empress Fang introduced them one by one: "Concubine Chen De and Concubine Lu Shu are common, while Concubine Hui and Concubine Wang just got the treasure book and seal."

Xing Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Wang. She was 27 and eight years old, with a small figure. After receiving the ceremony from everyone, she nodded and returned halfway. The second prince, Zhou Ke, was crowned the Great Treasure.

Empress Fang is more like a tiger girl than the eldest lady, she speaks concisely and concisely, and she won't lean back in the chair after sitting for so many hours.He doesn't chat with others like Queen Mother Gu, and the scene often freezes. Every time at this time, Ying Yi leans on the back of the nanmu chair and curls his lips, blowing on his blood-red nails.

After finally missing noon, Empress Fang waved her hands, leaving a few families for dinner, and knocking the rest back.

Most of the people who went back breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts. They didn't know that they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow if they took a wrong step in this palace.When he stepped over the threshold and was about to leave, he couldn't help but envy the few families that could be left behind, glanced at them, and comforted himself in his heart, the only ones left behind were the eldest princesses, even the He family. Li's family, who told people to have relatives and stories.
