Chapter 20 The Liveliness of Shanyuan Temple

Little Cui didn't know the imperial concubine's order, so she went out of the palace quite blushing, and when she returned to the mansion, she saw a woman waiting, and hurriedly sent her daughter to the side, before she could sit down, she complained: "I Just to say, now that Run'er is still young, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to mention this with the imperial concubine. You insist on me to talk about it, but today, although the imperial concubine didn't say anything harsh, she is very upset by the look on her face."

"The imperial concubine is not happy if she is not happy. You are always her direct sister-in-law. What else can she do to you?" The woman listened, but she didn't take it seriously, and said, "Besides, you are also considering the future for their Xie family's blood. .”

After saying this, he said in surprise, "It's fine if you don't agree to promise Miss Run to the Seventh Prince. After all, the Yin family is watching, and the imperial concubine still needs to use the Yin family. Presumably she won't be doing it for the seventh prince's righteousness at this time." The concubine is having trouble with them. But the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't agree?"

Little Cui said: "I have only one daughter in total. Why do I want her to be a side concubine? I didn't say side concubine, I only said that Run'er was very congenial with Jin Wang. blocked me back."

"How could you do this?" The woman couldn't help scolding, "I've said it all, how ambitious the imperial concubine is. When she didn't have a son, she still taught the king of Qin and them to suppress the heirs of the middle palace. Now that she has her own flesh and blood, how can she not try?" Fighting for that seat? If so, how is it possible to marry Miss Run to His Royal Highness King Jin? It is inevitable to win over a family to help. Maybe you will have the idea of ​​Miss Ningguo's mansion! You say that, no wonder the imperial concubine empress Not happy. But the side concubine is different. After all, she is the niece and niece of her natal family, and her blood is closer than that of Princess Xincheng, how can the imperial concubine wrong her?"

Then he said, "Besides, there is a mother-in-law like the imperial concubine, what are you worried about? How could she let Miss Run be wronged!"

"...Anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't be a concubine." Little Cui bit her lip, "As far as Run'er's status is in front of the concubine, as long as she doesn't marry the royal family, anyone who marries will be superior. Isn't that bad? Go to the royal family and be wronged!"

The woman hated iron and said: "You are so confused! Marrying a child of an ordinary family, with a noble concubine under pressure, you will not be wronged, but the noble concubine is Miss Run's aunt, what if the noble concubine is gone in the future? Yes At that time, Miss Run probably already had heirs around her knees, her position in her husband's family was stable, and she was protected by the heirs of the imperial concubine... But how long can this kind of protection last? It's too late! Don't you want to earn your own life to earn a future?! But if you enter the royal family..."

"But the queen is still here, and the prince's son has become more and more decent in the past two years." Xiao Cui snorted, "The imperial concubine... I hope that the imperial concubine will succeed, but if it doesn't work, Run'er will enter the royal family. Good thing?"

"Miss Run is still young, even if the marriage is settled, it will take a few years to get married. Don't you want to see it then?" A good future, how can we delay it now? Don’t forget that His Royal Highness King Qin is thirteen, and the Seventh Prince also has twelve, and they are already discussing marriage! If we don’t talk about it now, the marriage will be settled later, so it’s hard to let the concubine and empress do it Are the princes regretting their marriages? And His Royal Highness Jin Wang, even though he is younger, but the concubine and the concubine are planning ahead, can they not find a good candidate in advance? Even not only the main concubine, but also the side concubines and concubines are thinking about it."

"After you miss it, how troublesome is it to arrange Miss Run?"

"This is also for the good of the imperial concubine."

As he spoke, he looked at the frowning little Cui family, and sighed, "Ma'am, this is also for the benefit of your mother and daughter! The Xie family is not high in the first place, but it all depends on the imperial concubine. It was a good thing that the population was prosperous earlier. Now there are not many people, and there are still a few, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s Sui’an Concubine, Mr. Fu Wang, or Mr. Li, who is with your mother and daughter? Now the imperial concubine is still there, because of the imperial concubine For the sake of your mother and daughter, they treated you mother and daughter well. In the future, as long as the concubine is gone and Miss Run comes to the door for something, they will definitely pay attention to it? Don’t forget that after the matter of the uncle came out, the son-in-law was also severely suspected passed."

"Two years ago, there was news that the son-in-law was raising a concubine outside, and there was an uproar at one point?"

"It's finally explained clearly."

"Otherwise, the son-in-law's fate will not be too good."

"If the son-in-law doesn't say anything, how can he not resent uncle and blame you and Miss Run in his heart?"

"The future of your mother and daughter, if you don't count on Miss Run's marriage, what else can you count on?"

...The conversation was soon reported to Yun Fenghuang, and Chen Jing said in a low voice: "It sounds like it was a suggestion from the Cui Mansion, but whether the Cui Mansion has other plans or not, the servants are still investigating."

The noble concubine nodded slightly, and said: "If it's just ordinary parents looking for their children, then forget it."

After all, she is relatively soft to Xiao Cui's mother and daughter, it's not an important matter, and she doesn't intend to fuss with them.

Besides, what the woman said was right, even though Xiao Cui tried to play tricks, she was after all thinking about Xie Run's future and seeking benefits for Xie's blood.

This is worth turning a blind eye to Yun Fenghuang, she feels somewhat guilty towards Xie Shi in her heart.

As a member of Xie's bloodline, Xie Run is also a direct niece, Yun Fenghuang is willing to spare her.

So after ordering this matter, I didn't pay attention to it for the time being, but asked about the situation at Shanyuan Temple.

Chen Jing said: "The maidservant privately told the people of Shanyuan Temple according to the order of the empress. After the mother and daughter of the Qian family arrived, they were assigned to a firewood house in the back mountain..."

Shanyuan Temple, as a Taoist temple closely related to the royal family, once often received empress dowagers, empress dowagers, empresses, empress concubines and other noble people. There are many residences, and most of them are luxurious and luxurious, even ordinary officials and officials.

But Yun Fenghuang planned to arrange Qian's mother and daughter to practice in the past, with ulterior motives, not for them to enjoy the blessings.

With her status, and Shanyuanguan's loneliness after being relatively estranged from the royal family in the past two years, she naturally dare not disobey.

Therefore, Qian's mother and daughter were not only sent to live in the firewood house, but also lacked all kinds of things.

How many of them are mother and daughter, Qian's family background is not high, anyway, they are also the daughters of the Jinshen's family. Not to mention a few daughters, my father already had fame when he was born, and when he remembered, he was the daughter of a quasi-heavy minister with a bright future. A wealthy family, delicate and expensive, who can't do any work.

People who favor Yuanguan were ordered by Chen Jing to specially send someone to monitor them, saying that since the imperial concubine asked them to practice, they should not send their servants to do many trivial things. This is dishonest, and they want to sue the imperial concubine of.

So mother and daughter can hardly look back on these days.

After all, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I am used to enjoying the days of calling slaves and servants, and doing everything by myself is really hard. Let them solve the firewood by themselves.

In addition to a leaky firewood room, some firewood, rice, oil and salt are provided, and even the vegetables are kept in check, and only some that are not good for wilting are given.

As for meat, it is even more impossible.

The reason is that the imperial concubine asked them to practice, not to enjoy life in the mountains and rivers. Besides, being a vegetarian helps to purify the soul, which is very suitable for ordinary people like them who are confused by the world...

The Qian mother and daughter collapsed after only three days! ! !

But what made them even more desperate was still to come: the Taoist temple told them on the fourth day that the Taoist temple had no surplus food, which meant that if Qian's mother and daughter wanted to continue to get firewood and rice, they had to help the Taoist temple with work.

Otherwise, they have no reason to support idlers for nothing.

As a Taoist temple that has received top dignitaries and more than once, Shanyuan Temple is completely indifferent to the behavior of Qian's mother and daughter bringing out Du Langu to threaten him, and even said that Du Langu's coming is also the same rule: After all, there is no such thing as saying in the world Viewing is the reason why people deserve to eat and drink for free, and even the eloquent Taoist nun asked, is it possible that Master Du is used to eating and drinking for free outside, so it is natural for his family?

These words made Qian's mother and daughter speechless.

After all, the daughters are young, and although they are in pain, they are barely living.

The most worrying thing was Qian Shi, because she found that in just a few days, the hand that was stretched out was much older.

She was not particularly beautiful, but her appearance was still pretty. Because of her good background, she also maintains a body of fine skin and tender flesh.

But after giving birth to several children, and at this age, how can I bear the hard work?

In this kind of life, it looks like every day.

It's hard for Qian not to be worried. If he stays like this for a few days, even if he can go back home soon, he won't be able to go back with his honed appearance...Du Langu's heart really won't be seduced by those young and beautiful goblins Walk?

"The Qian family has started to talk to people from the Shanyuan temple, but the Taoist temple is very tight-lipped, and no one pays attention to them." Chen Jing said softly, "Besides, our people observed secretly and found no clues. .”

"After all, it's the place where the Empress Dowager and the empress dowagers were received, how could it be so easy to investigate?" Yun Fenghuang nodded and said, "Otherwise, do we still need to be so cautious?"

Chen Jing said yes, and then said, "There is one more thing: the daughters under Qian's knees all started fighting yesterday."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Is it because of that girl?"

"It's true and it's not." Chen Jing said, "The reason is indeed that the other daughters besieged the daughter, saying that she had slipped the tongue to the Seventh Emperor's daughter, which caused the mother and daughter to suffer such disasters... But the daughter was indeed a daredevil. Zhu'er, who provoked the princess, managed to win over the elder sister, and together he targeted the younger sisters. Now the girls are choking together, and Qian's repeated reprimands can't stop it, which is quite tormenting."

"These mother and daughter are quite lively." Yun Fenghuang smiled and didn't take it seriously. He just said, "I'm afraid there are many secrets in Shanyuan Temple. These secrets, I don't know much about them now, and I don't know about them." Whether it will be useful in the future. But no matter what, since you have the opportunity to arrange people to go in, you must not miss it. You tell the people over there to be careful... If the situation is not right, please control the Qian mother and daughter, and don't make trouble too big."

This is not because he is afraid of Shanyuan Temple, after all, without the support of the empress dowager and other dignitaries, in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, this is just a Taoist temple with its own possibly useful secrets.

Mainly because I am afraid of attracting other people's attention.

She didn't want to share this clue with anyone else.

Furthermore, if Chunjia noticed...

Whether she can share is the question.
