Chapter 632 The High Gate of Shuzi (16)
The concubine's son Gaomen 16
The old lady of Duke Jin's mansion was sick and didn't even invite an imperial physician. ggaax was also sick because the emperor was also sick. And he was very ill.
As soon as Prince Heng came back today, he came to meet Gan directly.
"I don't know what the old man is thinking?" Prince Heng took off his big clothes and sat directly on the kang in the warm room. He took a sip of tea, then spit out the water suddenly, and threw the teacup directly: "Change another one. I don't have any eyesight. How can I serve it?"
Gan gave Madam He a wink, and Madam He poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over. Gan said, "It's not that the tea is hot, it's that your heart is dry."
The emperor is sick, of course he is irritated.
Prince Heng gave Gan a blank look as if he asked clearly: "I don't believe you are not irritable?"
Gan chuckled: "Everyone can be irritated, but you can't." As she said that, she sat opposite Prince Heng and whispered: "If the emperor chooses one of you and King Duan to be the governor for the time being, what should you do then?"
Prince Heng's hand froze with the teacup. If he really had such an opportunity, he should fight for it. The most reliable way to rule the country is in his hands. Even if the emperor decides the last person, he can still fight for it based on the arrangements during this period.
Gan leaned back and leaned against the soft pillow: "The emperor is not a foolish monarch. If he is sick, he will not be forced by anyone... He will be in a hurry to enthrone the crown prince. But now, the emperor still has no intention of enthroning the crown prince. What is the situation you think?"
Prince Heng said in surprise: "You don't want to say that the emperor is pretending to be sick without illness..."
"Or it was a minor illness that deliberately became a serious illness." The expression on Gan's face became more and more unpredictable. "It seems that this is an opportunity, but in fact, this may be a test. Test your heart and also test the prince's heart. Have you always been a person who doesn't love the country and the beauty? If you can't help but jump out this time, what would the emperor think? You have deceived the emperor for so many years, and the emperor's anger, I believe the prince doesn't want to understand at all."
Prince Heng nodded in fear and suddenly, "The junior sister's guess is somewhat reasonable. If you don't say it out, my mind will be exposed when it gets hot. I can't do this in charge of the country, and I have to be a filial son on the surface, but some things are secretly arranged."
Gan nodded, then shut up and stopped talking.
Prince Heng then drank the herbal tea in his mouth and smiled, "The taste of this herbal tea is indeed not as good as hot tea." He raised his eyes, saw Gan lying lazily, and the expression on his face was also faint, and then smiled, "Is your body better?"
"I can't do it anymore." Gan smiled.
Prince Heng was a little embarrassed: "It's just some flesh injury, how can it not be healed? This time it was my king's fault. My junior sister is more well-behaved and obedient in the future. I promise that I won't treat you like this again."
This is the 38th time you promised.
Besides, the wound healed, but the scar remained forever. Therefore, some things are lost and they will never come back.
Prince Heng reached out and rubbed Gan's head, "Don't worry, stay at home, I know what to do."
Mrs. Gan looked at Prince Heng's back and her eyes were dark.
Madam He whispered: "Master, why do you have such hard work for him?"
Gan smiled sarcastically: "Planning? Haha... The mouse saves food for the cat, should you have heard this?"
"What does it mean?" Madam He asked, putting the mattress on Gan's leg.
Gan murmured softly: "The more he has, the more I will get in the future." Seeing that Madam He was asking, she changed the topic and whispered: "Send all the things I have saved over the years to that girl. Even if it can't be put on the surface, life is real." As she said, she thought of something, "Now, go inquire about this child again. If you can support it, just give it to her directly. If it's still the same as before, you can't support it... Then you can't hurry. Find a way to make up for it slowly in the future."
"Are you afraid that the prince will find out..." Madam He looked at the scab that had not fallen on Gan's back, and felt a little scared.
Gan shook his head: "I have taken care of this marriage in public, it's just an attitude. Besides, he doesn't care about it for the time being."
Madam He nodded and turned around and went out.
Immediately, the storm broke out in the capital. The emperor became ill and Prince Duan was in charge of the country, but Prince Heng took the initiative to go to Huangjue Temple to pray for the emperor.
Duke Jin’s Mansion.
Jin Cheng'an and his younger brother Jin Chengquan sat on the side, and Mrs. Chu and her second wife Gao sat on one side.
"The old lady's body is probably..." Jin Chengan sighed softly, "I'm afraid I'm going to prepare."
This is to prepare for the funeral.
Jin Chengquan shook his head: "This is caused by a sudden change of the sky. As long as you survive this period, the sky will be a little warmer, and maybe it will improve. Now, there are still many elderly people like old ladies in the capital, and they are ready to get up early without seeing anyone."
As soon as the old lady went, she would have to split up after mourning. He really didn't want to split up so early. As long as the old lady was in one day, their second wife could live in this mansion for one more day. At least she had to ask her son to marry a wife in the Duke's mansion, and her daughter would get married from the Duke's mansion. Otherwise, this family would be really different.
Gao nodded: "That's what it was. The old lady used to sleep without anyone to care. Now, today, two clean little girls have to be arranged to lie in the quilt to warm her. It's all because of this weather."
Everyone knows this principle. But when he is old and becomes so sick, what can I do if I don’t prepare in advance? Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu said, “The doctors who should be seen now have also seen it. You can’t rob the imperial physicians from the palace from the emperor.”
Gao said, "If it really doesn't work, just have a happy look. The marriage of our third brother..."
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she knew what she was thinking. She quickly shook her head and said, "One, the marriage of the third brother has not yet been decided. Second, this joy should start with the prince Ren'er to appear formal."
Gao Shu shut up. She wanted to rush to marry her daughter-in-law before the old lady died. It is easy to say about the candidate, whether it is her niece of her parents or her niece of her parents. Now this sister-in-law is afraid that she also wants to take the opportunity to set her niece down. Otherwise, the Duke would not easily agree to marry another Chu girl.
Thinking of this, she chuckled: "It's good that, the second son's wife has decided, so she will just do the wedding together. She wants to marry the second son alone, which is really a bit shocking in the capital." She became more and more excited as she said, "Just, our third son, join your fourth son, let's..."
"My brother and sister!" Mrs. Chu smiled far-fetchedly: "The third brother is a good child, so you should carefully touch this marriage. Otherwise, in this way, the three sons of our big room will handle this happy event together. It can be considered as the three happy events coming."
If you don’t mention the second wife, you just don’t want to pay an extra betrothal gift in the public servant!
Gao was still about to speak, and Jin Chengquan glared at her and turned to Jin Chengan and said, "Brother, the method my sister-in-law said is indeed a solution. It is okay to try it. If it works, it is God's blessing. If it doesn't work, it will be done for the child before the filial piety period. It also happened to ask the old lady to leave with peace of mind. At least he saw his granddaughter-in-law entering the door. It was considered the old lady's wish." As he said, his voice lowered: "However, the eldest brother and sister-in-law still have to consider the second wife. I really plan to ask her to guard her and take the lead in the future, so I might as well ask Iner to pick her shoulders. This has to be said in advance..."
Mrs. Chu suddenly became so angry that if she had said she could take her shoulders in advance, her sister-in-law would not marry her niece. So, she would still take the person in first and then talk about the situation. But she could not mention this thought to anyone, so she could only say: "Second brother, this... with my wife's knowledge, it's better to say it without clarity. Although this Qi family is not a big deal, don't forget that there is a concubine Qi next to King Duan. If King Duan... has great luck, this concubine Qi will not be just a concubine. Then, in the future, nothing will be accurate. We must leave some snails."
Jin Chengan was stunned at first, then nodded: "Madam's words make sense. Even if you don't know who will lose and who will win until the end of this throne, you will not be able to tell who will lose or who will win. It is also right to think about it more. At least, Prince Duan is now supervising the country, so this face will still be given to the Qi family."
Gao clasped his lips obscurely, I'm afraid that at that time, the eldest uncle is not the eldest uncle, and the younger aunt is not the younger aunt, so I'll make a joke. What do you think you will do?
On the day when heavy snow fell, the matchmaker from the Duke of Fuguo came to discuss with the Lin family about the advance marriage.
"It's colder today than yesterday." Sanxi added another charcoal basin to the house and said while adding charcoal.
It was quite cold. I sat on the kang and felt my fingers were frozen while holding the book. This was when the fire wall of the earth dragon was burning.
The mother moon stuffed the small hand stove into Lin Yutong's hand and replied, "I heard from the kitchen woman that there are so many people in this city that they are frozen to death. It seems that the beggars are gone all at once. They probably all frozen to death."
Sanxi shook her head: "It's so pitiful."
Lin Yutong sighed softly: "Give more charcoal fires and give them to the little girls and maids in the yard." The house they lived in had no fire walls, but was entirely based on charcoal basins and fire kangs.
The master and servant were talking, lying on the kang and not going out.
Unexpectedly, Yun beat Madam Chen and said, "Tell the girl that the wedding date has been set, and it will be the eighth day of next month."
Less than half a month to prepare?
"Why is it so fast?" Lin Yutong couldn't help but be shocked.
Madam Chen whispered: "This is nothing to do. I'm happy to the old lady. This is the filial piety of the younger generation. If it's for some other reason, our family will be able to refuse, and you say this... our family is not even easy to beat. That's it. Even if there is something wrong with the dowry, their family won't blame it too much."
Lin Yutong nodded, "This is really a solution."
"Who said no?" Madam Chen sighed and said, "Those three happy days are coming, and the lady said that she must not let the girl lose face."
Lin Yutong understood what Yun's meaning. It's not easy to compete with the prince's wife's dowry. Can't we compete with Qi Duoer?
She thanked Madam Chen for her kindness and stuffed her hand stove to warm her. But she remembered Lin Yuzhi's words, and she really wanted to be happy. Some things have obviously changed, but at this point they still follow the original trajectory. I just don't know if there will be any mistakes in the wedding. It seems that if you don't enter the bridal chamber this day, you can't let go of your heart completely. Being careful is always nothing wrong.
The whole family is busy. No matter how cold it is, they dare not delay what should be done. Lin Yutong also has to hurry up to give a gift to her husband's elders.
"In addition to the elders' meeting gift, according to the rules, we have to prepare a set of clothes, shoes and socks for the son-in-law for the four seasons." Guifang fiddled with the cloth that Yun asked someone to send, "Girl, are you giving..."
"If you want to be exquisite for the elders, you should buy half a share of it outside. I will just do two needles when I come back." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "I'll do the others."
That is to say, if you don’t do it for the elders, you have to make clothes for your son-in-law yourself.
Several girls couldn't help but sneer.
What are you laughing at? What's so funny? The clothes, shoes and socks of the five elders above are not enough to do, but they have to buy some of them anyway, so why bother to do it?
Xiangli handed over the crimson tribute satin to Lin Yutong: "I heard that the cousin is sleepless and rushing to make it for the elders."
Lin Yutong curled her lips: "If my mother's family is good, even if my wife gives her a piece of linen, her mother-in-law will like it. If my mother's family is not good, you will just use one stitch and one thread to think about it, it will be useless." Besides, if you are a concubine's daughter-in-law and want her to like it, it would be a dream. If you can do it without any consequences, even if you succeed. Besides, Mrs. Chu's daughter-in-law is someone's niece. If you take out your heart and show it to Mrs. Chu, can you still be biased against you? Even if you know that there will be no result, why compete with yourself? You are idle!
As he was talking, the outside reported that the shopkeeper of Yunshang Pavilion had arrived and wanted to measure the size and make wedding clothes.
Lin Yutong nodded, and Sanxi led a woman of twenty-seven or eight years old in.
After seeing the gift, Lin Yutong asked her to Nuan Nuan first and then speak. The woman was smiling and thanked her deeply. She drank two bowls of ginger and jujube tea before measuring the size of Lin Yutong.
"Is it too late to go in time?" Sanxi asked.
"It's time." The woman smiled and said, "We all have spare wedding clothes. As long as we go back, we can't delay it." As she said that, she put away the ruler and pulled Lin Yutong's sleeves again, as if it depends on how wide the sleeves are.
But when Lin Yutong pulled her, she obviously felt an extra box in her hand. She couldn't help but look at the woman. The woman looked at Lin Yutong with a wet smile.
Lin Yutong put the box into her sleeve and ordered several girls: "You are waiting outside..."
Sanxi and others looked at each other, then put down their work and retreated.
