Chapter 85 Jia Family Recipe
Cheng Luo and Jia Yuanchun?
The Emperor half-squinted his eyes and looked at his smiling emperor's son.
It seems that the emperor was interested in Yuanchun before, right?
The Emperor had a vague suspicion that the Emperor was interested in the Jia family and wanted to bring Yuan Chun to his side. Originally, he was very happy to give the emperor and the Jia family this opportunity, but the King Jin whom he loved most had some expectations for Yuanchun.
The throne is no longer with King Jin, and the old man is unwilling to wrong his son over women.
Fortunately, the emperor's son knows how to advance and retreat. He may have discovered what his brother Jin Wang was thinking, so he unilaterally dealt with that feeling.
But he cut it, but King Jin seemed to have lost his thoughts on Yuanchun.
The Emperor suspected that his son was still having a temper with him and the Emperor.
It was a good time for Yuanchun to marry Cheng Luo.
Cheng Luo was their junior, with a poor background. It was not easy for the royal family to step forward and use power to suppress others. This was different with the Jia family.
In an instant, the Emperor made up his mind. He asked with a smile: "Have the Queen and Mrs. Shen reached an agreement?"
"Yes!"
The Emperor He smiled and said: "Cheng Luo is already quite old. Look, when you marry your grandson, do you have to give them a marriage decree and give them some rewards for living?"
"Haha, since I have to give it to you."
The Supreme Emperor said with a smile: "However, as an uncle, you can't just say that you like it, right?"
"How can you? "
The emperor felt that the emperor was in a good mood at this moment, and said hurriedly: "Father, my son is going to give you an imperial village. What do you think of the village in Xishan?"
Where is the emperor? I remember, I nodded on the spot, "Just over there!"
Concubine Zhen, who came in a hurry, didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing everyone smiling, Busy also had a smile on her face, "Your Majesty , Your Majesty, is this a happy event? ”
"Hmm~" The Supreme Emperor smiled, "It's a big happy event. The Queen chatted with Mrs. Shen of Ningguo Mansion and proposed a marriage to Baofeng's son Cheng Luo."
What?
Concubine Zhen still didn’t quite understand, “Cheng Luo got rid of his filial piety two months ago, so it’s really time to talk about their marriage.” She dropped her smile and looked at the emperor, “Speaking of it, this has happened a long time ago It’s time to do it.”
“Yes!” The emperor saluted, “This is indeed my fault and the queen’s.”
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "It's the Cheng family that's too abominable."
He already knew that the queen here had some intentions, while the old lady of the Cheng family over there found someone to match match her concubine and grandson, regardless of whether they were a good match or not. , let’s go talk about it first anyway.
It is impossible for brothers in this family to refuse this and agree to that.
And if the Cheng family has such an old lady, such a brother, the daughter of a good family will be avoided.
"Dai Quan, quickly ask someone to draw up a decree and bring it to me to use as a seal."
"...Yes!"
Dai Quan glanced at Concubine Zhen and waved to a young eunuch, telling him to go quickly.
"Well, go to the library again and give the queen a copy of the Dongzhu, Neizao, Liuguang brocade and so on that were newly acquired this year."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty You didn’t tell me which family you were telling Cheng Luo about.”
Concubine Zhen didn’t expect that it was just a mistake that would allow the emperor and the empress to take advantage of this.
She quickly changed the topic.
“Well, it’s Yuanchun of the Jia family.”
What?
Concubine Zhen's heart skipped a beat, "Yuan Chun?" She looked at Jia Zhen with a smile on her face, "Are you Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion? Come to think of it, you have to call me auntie." , she smiled at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you know that my third sister-in-law comes from the Shi family. I just entered the palace that year, and she also asked the sisters who were married into Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion to take care of me."
< br>"Hahaha, remember!"
The Shi family had many daughters.
It was once a good story in Beijing that the Jia brothers married a pair of legitimate daughters of the Shi family.
"When Yuanchun entered the palace, I took good care of him."
Seeing the Emperor smile, Concubine Zhen said again: "That child is very talented and good-looking. It turns out that I still I wanted to talk to the emperor and give her a background, but I didn't expect that the queen asked her to leave the palace and get married first."
The emperor: "..."
This is Concubine Zhen. What's the meaning?
Did the queen expel Jia Yuanchun out of jealousy?
He shook the hands in his sleeves angrily.
"...Then you are too late."
The smile in the Emperor's eyes faded slightly, "Jia Zhen, is this what your mother Shen meant?"
"Yes!"
Jia Zhen said hurriedly: "My sister came too late. My mother had always raised sister Yuanchun as her own daughter. This time she entered the palace because she wanted to ask for grace." He He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Originally, I wanted to ask the Supreme Emperor for help, but I didn't expect that my mother had already made an agreement with the Queen."
"Hahaha!"
The Emperor laughed.
This child is so stupid that he probably didn’t even understand what Concubine Zhen meant.
"Your sister did come too late."
Fortunately, she came anyway.
Brother Jia was also happy to know.
"In this way, wear the power, pass the decree, and grant..."
He looked at Jia Zhen, "What is your sister's name?"
"Jia Yue!"
Jia Zhen felt that the Emperor was going to reward his sister, and her eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Do you mean the divine pearl?"
Seeing Jia Zhen nodding, the Supreme Emperor said with a smile: "I will give Xiao Yue'er a dowry on behalf of your grandfather! Dai Quan, According to the decree, Jia Yue is given a hundred taels of gold, one handle each of gold and jade, ten ingots of purple gold for "ruyi", "more than enough for good luck", ten ingots of silver, three sets of jewelry made inside, and then...a hundred altars of wine. "
At this point, he sighed again, "Your grandfather loved to drink a few sips of wine back then. He also said that if he had a daughter, he would store hundreds of jars of good wine for her. When she gets married, give them to her as well. "
"...I... thank the Grand Emperor on behalf of my grandfather and my sister. "
Jia Zhen kowtowed deeply.
Sure enough, we still have to meet. Only when we meet can we have three-point love.
"No courtesy, get up! "
The Supreme Emperor was a little sad, "In the future, if you have something to do, just go to the palace. If you are bullied, just ask the emperor to make the decision for you. ”
"...Yes!"
Jia Zhen took a peek at the emperor. The emperor was also surprised, how could this boy win his father's favor? The two met their eyes, and the emperor nodded with a smile.
He felt that the Emperor had just rewarded the Queen because this boy had asked for credit for the Queen in front of his father.
The gift from those two medical ladies was really great.
"Don't worry, father, I have the duty to do whatever I am supposed to do!"
The implication is that he will never do anything he is not supposed to do.
Of course, this statement is mainly directed at Concubine Zhen.
......
Yuan Chun, who was waiting for the news, didn't know yet that because of her, the Emperor and Concubine Zhen had already had several secret fights.
She looked in the direction of Kunning Palace, very anxious.
The eldest uncle has been in Kunning Palace for a long time, and she hasn’t come out yet, so don’t worry!
As for Brother Zhen, he should be back from the Emperor as quickly as he should be thanking the Emperor.
Why hasn’t there been any movement yet?
“Girl, Nanny Xiao and Sister Qingzhu from the Queen’s Palace have come out.”
Nanny Xiao is a celebrity around the Queen.
She walked with Qingzhu, with a smile on her face...
Bao Qin couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope. Life in the palace is so difficult.
It’s hard for them girls, but it’s even harder for her.
"Mommy! Sister Qingzhu..."
Yuanchun bowed to the two of them early. She looked at Qingzhu first, and found that there was real joy in her eyes, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
"Miss Yuanchun is very happy."
Mother Xiao smiled and said: "Hurry up and pack your things, and go home with Mrs. Shen later!"
Huh?
Can you really go home?
“Thank you, mama!”
Yuan Chun gave a deep blessing.
"The wife said to hurry up, I will help the girl clean it up together."
Marriage matters depend on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
Never mention it outside in front of other girls.
"Then..."
Yuan Chun did not dare to respond immediately and looked at Aunt Xiao.
“Go, go!”
Mother Xiao waved her hand, “After cleaning up, just come back and kowtow to the empress.”
Hurry up and get this done. This would also prevent anything from happening to Concubine Zhen.
In fact, letting a female official out is just a matter of raising her hand for the queen.
However, Yuanchun has too much involvement with Concubine Zhen.
I only hope that she can be like Mrs. Shen in the future and miss the Queen more.
“Yes!”
Yuan Chun bowed solemnly, and then took Qingzhu and Baoqin to pack his things.
Although she was a female official, she had nothing to take care of except the clothes of the four seasons and the money stolen from her family.
She doesn’t want to bring any clothes in the palace.
But Yuanchun also knew that no matter what, she had to pack it away. Otherwise, it will appear too eager, as if abandoning the palace like worn shoes.
"How come you are talking about it now? The Queen is not blaming her, right?"
I was so happy to be able to go home and hold Qin in my arms, so I asked Qingzhu in a low voice.
"The Queen and our wife hit it off right away."
Qingzhu smiled and said to Yuan Chun who was looking over: "Girl, you don't have to worry about home, my wife has arranged everything."
"...Thank you!"
The water in Yuanchun's eyes flashed, and she held her head high to prevent it from falling down, "Qingzhu, is everything okay at home?"
"Don't worry, It’s fine.”
Anyway, their wives are pretty nice.
As for the fact that the second wife and the second master were still in the ancestral hall, Qingzhu did not reveal a single word of consideration.
“Is my grandmother still in good health?”
“Yes!”
“What is the little sister’s name? Is she cute?”
“We The girl’s name is Jia Yue!”
Qingzhu said: “It’s very cute. Now that I haven’t seen my wife for a long time, I feel bad.”
At this moment, their wives must have missed the girl. .
The girl is at home, and she must be thinking about her wife, so she may not be able to concentrate on breastfeeding.
In Kunning Palace, the Queen was talking to Shen Ning about the Salesian Bureau.
She has no dowry and the emperor has no money. Anyone with some brains in the capital must know.
So there is nothing to be embarrassed about. "I heard that the Salesian Bureau in Datong has always been donated by my sister." At this moment, the queen no longer has any use for me or Mrs. Shen. , only addressed as sister, "You need a lot of money a year, right?"
"More than five hundred taels a year."
Shen Ning looked at the account book, "The children are also doing them They do whatever they can, including washing clothes for the generals in the camp, sewing and mending, etc.”
“I originally wanted to let them take over some of the work at the Salesian Bureau in Beijing, but I didn’t let them do it. After investigation, I found out that there are many poor people who live on this."
The queen sighed, "I have no choice but to give up this idea."
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!"
Shen Ning said: "Datong is a frontier army. If the boys are a little older, they will join the camp and join the army to earn a living, and the girls will basically marry there. Soldiers. Here in the capital..."
When there is a disaster outside, some people flee to the capital.
Coupled with the large population...
Shen Ning knew that it was more difficult for the Salesian Bureau in Beijing. "Why don't the empress let the skilled palace servants leave the palace half a year early and work in the Salesian Bureau to teach their crafts for free for three months?"
"Craftsmanship" It’s what they rely on to eat, so how can they teach others casually?”
“The profound ones are naturally what they rely on to eat, but what about the basic ones?”
Shen Ning asked, “Everyone knows the basics? Yes, teaching the children of the Salesian Bureau will not affect anything." At this point, she added: "There are also some old craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering. They are no longer able to do activities, but experience matters. In my mind, I thought that I could also hire someone from the Salesian Bureau to teach children, and at the same time, I could choose spiritual ones there and focus on cultivating them.”
This?
That's true.
The queen nodded, "I will mention it to the emperor when I have time."
There are many powerful craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry.
There are even people who make ordnance and gunpowder.
Especially the latter, you need someone who is absolutely your own person.
It is indeed better to choose from the Salesian Bureau.
The queen knew that in the past few years, the emperor's secret guards were also looking for candidates there.
"Actually, isn't there a palace in the palace? You can also let older children go in as apprentices."
It is too easy for the royal family to arrange people.
Shen Ning said: "Everyone in the palace recognizes that even if a piece of jewelry is exported, its value will be one to two percent higher than the same type, and some are even more than half higher."
Everyone knows that the emperor has no money.
In prosperous times, you can still mend things, but in troubled times...
The Supreme Emperor is still here, and Shen Ning dare not mention anything else. She can only give a suggestion, "Many imperial merchants use the name of in-house manufacturing. They can make a lot of money by raising the price of the items in their hands. There is no reason why the real rebels can't sell them.
You must know that the craftsmen in the palace are the most skilled ones. People.”
“...but they all have their own tasks!”
Just like a royal robe made by the Supreme Emperor, more than ten embroiderers with the best skills are required to work for several months.
"Yes, they have their own tasks, and they are also very tired, so why not give them a few smart children to serve?"
This?
The queen was simply stunned.
However, this is considered stealing from others, right?
"The royal family recognizes their craftsmanship, and the whole world recognizes their craftsmanship, so why not mention their identities? Please also ask them to cultivate more talents, so that you can relax and gain recognition from more people. "Respect."
Shen Ning wished she could start a university!
“Of course, these are all my immature thoughts.”
Shen Ning sighed.
In this era, many families pass down food recipes from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law rather than from daughter-in-law.
"How many crafts have been lost from ancient times to the present? And how many crafts are only spread in a small area because they are not taken seriously? Just like the efficient and fast purification and salting methods, it is likely to be lost inadvertently."< br>
Shen Ning said: "I have no other skills, so I plan to compile a Jia family recipe book. The noodles, pastries and so on in it, some of which are delicious, will be published. Maybe one day in the future, they will help Wherever you go, a good woman will be able to settle down and make a good life."
