Chapter 284 Queen as a matchmaker
"How did you come?"
After Daiyu and Aunt Mei sat down, they looked at Jia Qiang and pursed her lips and smiled.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "I just finished my errands and came out of the palace to ask for my advice."
Daiyu looked at her angrily and said, "I don't think you're here to ask dad for advice. You're clearly here to listen to praise."
Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "That's just because you didn't hear the previous criticism."
Daiyu wrinkled her delicate and straight nose and said, "I should teach you more!"
But despite saying that, he glanced at Lin Ruhai and said, "You must have done something bad that you shouldn't have done, otherwise, dad shouldn't criticize you."
Aunt Mei almost died from laughing in her belly, but she still echoed on her face: "Exactly, I never blame you. It shows that you are very naughty!"
Seeing that Daiyu was a little anxious, Lin Ruhai sighed softly and said to Jia Qiang: "Go ahead, your junior sister was still saying before that you won't come to pick up the people in your room..." At this point, Lin Ruhai was a little confused again.
: "How old are the people in your room? How come you are said to be inseparable with that little girl from the Xue family and Chu Ernan?"
"That little girl from the Xue family" is actually not bad, she must be eleven years old.
But Lin Chu is only seven years old this year!
When Jia Qiang heard this, her young face turned red and she said, "She is just simpler, but she is actually half a year younger than me."
Daiyu also stood up and said, "I'm going to send Xiang Ling'er off."
After that, the two of them went out and left together.
"Girls are outgoing, the ancients would never deceive me!"
Seeing her daughter leaving the house without looking back, Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly.
After that, he started to concentrate on his official duties again...
…
After leaving Zhonglin Hall, Daiyu walked forward slowly while looking sideways at Jia Qiang and said, "Is the injury on your shoulder getting better?"
Jia Qiang nodded and smiled: "If you don't do strenuous activities and stretch, it won't be very painful."
Hearing this, Daiyu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't feel much pain, but it still hurts. Why can't you heal your injury before doing errands? Like dad, errands are always the most important thing in your heart!"
Jia Qiang reminded: "The emperor's order is difficult."
Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and then sighed softly: "So that's it... I have never heard of the strange way, but that person has the name of benevolence and righteousness..."
Jia Qiang was startled when she heard this and turned to look at her. She didn't know what to say and her eyes were full of shock.
Daiyu looked at him angrily and said, "Don't think I'm a fool. I won't say it in front of others. She also suddenly remembered that when my aunt talked about the Supreme Emperor, she always boasted about being a benevolent king. Although my father was loyal to the king in those years,
You are not as scared as you are now, walking on thin ice. Today I see you again, you are injured and you have to go on an imperial mission, that's why I say this."
But Jia Qiang shook her head and said softly: "I understand this kind of thing in my heart. Don't say it more, even in your own home. There are many ears in the world to repay God. Have you written it down?"
Although her heart was frightened, seeing Jia Qiang repeatedly raising her eyebrows and winking at her, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "I know, Mo Duo looks weird."
Then he asked: "Has your uncle's family been settled properly?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It is placed in the small courtyard behind the study room in the front yard..."
Daiyu raised her eyebrows at that moment, and said reproachfully: "Your uncle's family, as well as the family members such as aunt and cousin, even if they cannot be placed in the West Road Courtyard or the Middle Road Courtyard, they should be placed in the inner house of the East Road Courtyard. In front of it is
How can we place temporary residents there?"
Jia Qiang said aggrievedly: "You think I don't want to do it? But my uncle has such a stubborn temper! If I hadn't told them that I lived alone in Dongfu and was afraid of being harmed, they would not have been willing to come and live together.
When other relatives saw that someone was mad, they wanted to get close to me even though they were separated by eighteen poles. They preferred my uncle, for fear of getting some light from me, so he asked his brother-in-law to risk his life to protect me. My sister is also the same person, although
Poor, but with a strong backbone, they are all as strong as the cool breeze blowing outside. Oh my, I really have no idea at all. By the way, I was thinking about letting my aunt and sister help me manage the inner house of the East Mansion.
, my uncle helped me take care of the front. But my sister laughed at me and said, this is not appropriate, otherwise you will be angry in the future..."
When Daiyu heard this, she first admired the character of Uncle Jia Qiang's family, but was startled when she heard it. Her pretty face turned red, and she opened her mouth to scold Jia Qiang, but because the words were said by Jia Qiang's sister, she couldn't, so she had to glare at Jia Qiang. Qiang said: "You must be talking nonsense in front of your uncle's house!"
Jia Qiang was stunned: "Ah? No! I didn't say anything!"
"You're still lying! See if I don't destroy your lie!"
After saying that, he was about to come forward and tear Jia Qiang's face off.
Jia Qiang laughed and begged for mercy and ran away. When Daiyu was out of breath after chasing her, she caught her and pinched her face.
After twisting, Daiyu suddenly froze. This... seemed to be the first time she had touched his face...
When Jia Qiang saw that even her crystal earlobes were blushing, she also reacted. Then she let out a "squeak", lowered her head with a "shy" look on her face, and made circles with her toes.
This exaggerated appearance made Daiyu, who was originally shy and trembling, burst into laughter and spat: "If you keep doing this to make me laugh, I will really get annoyed!"
Jia Qiang laughed, returned to normal expression, and said: "I'm not teasing you, I just like to see you smile, you look good!"
Daiyu may have become numb to this guy's shamelessness now. After giving her an angry look, she asked more seriously: "You want your uncle's family to help the housekeeper. It's easy to talk about it, but in the future... Lai Sheng and the others will not be the housekeepers." Huh? I heard that Lai Sheng is the son of Grandma Lai, and there is an old lady's respectability in this. You should be more careful, you are not joking."
When Jia Qiang heard this, she sighed in her heart, Daiyu is really amazing. Who said she would not eat the fireworks of the world, but she actually understood it in her heart.
Mother Jia's "ruling" of the Jia family relies on Grandma Lai's two sons.
One is in charge of the West Palace and the other is in charge of the East Palace.
Their daughter-in-law is also a high-ranking official in both houses, the kind of person who even gives some respect to the wife of the head of the family.
This is the foundation of Jia Mu's rule in the Jia family in a practical sense.
Whoever digs this foundation will abolish Jia Mu's "rule", even if it means becoming a big enemy!
Jia Qiang nodded and said: "If those people hadn't done too much, I wouldn't touch them lightly. However, I can think of a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Daiyu couldn't listen to the beating and killing, and only said: "You understand in your heart."
While they were talking, the two of them went to the East Road Courtyard. They didn't find Xiang Ling in Jia Qiang's original residence. They went to a courtyard not far behind, and sure enough, they found Xiang Ling going crazy inside.
It’s not that he is blind and naughty, but he is learning opera from a few young opera singers.
When I saw Jia Qiang, I was extremely shy.
Jia Qiang didn't mean to blame, and asked with a smile: "Are you going to continue to be stubborn here, or are you going back to Dongfu with me? Otherwise, you can just stay here for a while, and wait until the garden is ready. These people happen to be with me." Sister Lin has moved over there, and you can continue playing together there. I'm also busy these days, and you'll be bored alone in Dongfu."
Even so, Ke Xiangling still asked with concern: "Then who will take care of me when I get up and have tea?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "You still don't know that I can feel comfortable alone."
Hearing this, Xiangling felt a little disappointed and said, "Okay then!" But Baoqin, Lin Chu, Lingguan and others who were a little happy smiled and said, "I don't have to leave!"
Daiyu glanced at Jia Qiang angrily and said, "I think you dote on her like a daughter. You don't look like a member of the house..."
Jia Qiang coughed dryly, changed the subject, pointed at a little girl who was happier than Xiangling, looked about the same age as Lin Chu, and had two buns in her hair, jumping up and down and said: "Who is she? Why are you here again? Got a living treasure?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "Her name is Xiao Jiao'er. She was originally a little girl in the old lady's room. She was the best at rolling up door curtains and called herself the General of Curtain Rollers. When I saw that she was lovable, I learned from the old lady. I asked for it. She is a living treasure. As long as her eyes are open, she will never be idle for a moment. With Chu'er, she becomes much more lively. Even her father and aunt like her a little when they see her. This is not over yet, I heard There is also a very good friend in Xifu, and he has been asking me to come with him for the past two days, so that we can play with him. But the little girl is nearby, so I can't speak easily."
Jia Qiang asked curiously: "Little girl, do you still want to come, sister?"
Daiyu glared at him and said, "What's the name of Xiao Jixiangzi? She's a little girl from Aunt Zhao's room. She's about the same age as Miss Chu'er. Xueyan actually recognizes her."
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "I may not have any idea if it's somewhere else, but there, I have an idea. Just wait and see, I'll pick you up in the next two days. There are still a few people in our family, but there are more people in our family." If you find some living treasures, your home will become more lively, and your days will become more and more prosperous."
When Daiyu heard this, she rarely said anything to him. She looked at him softly with starry eyes and softly responded:
"Um."
…
Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.
This is the Queen's Middle Palace. Every day, I don't know how many people come in and out of the palace.
Don't think that the queen is only responsible for taking good care of the emperor, and serving the emperor a bowl of ginseng soup is considered complete.
As the master of the harem and holding the imperial seal, the queen has to deal with no less official duties than the emperor every day.
Sister Feng was so busy that she vomited blood just because she was talking about the Jia family, let alone the queen who was in charge of the Sixth Palace?
There are six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the inner palace of Dayan, with 190 female officials and 58 female historians.
The remaining eunuchs, Zhaorong, Caibin and other palace people are countless.
Empress Yin was able to take care of such complicated palace affairs in an orderly manner, making no mistakes and making people impeccable.
The most rare thing is that Queen Yin is not a person who loves power. She never grasps the power of the harem in her hands, but distributes the power to various ministers and female historians.
If there are concubines with outstanding abilities in the sixth house, she will not hesitate to delegate power.
Even Emperor Long'an was extremely satisfied with such a grand style.
Today, Queen Yin returned from the Daming Palace and summoned the imperial concubine Yuan Chun who was in charge of the Shangyi Bureau. She first praised her for doing a good job, and then talked about her children's daily life and talked more about the Yin family affairs of the descendants.
Yuanchun naturally responded carefully and said more flattering words.
Finally, Empress Yin said with a smile: "My natal brother is very incompetent, but there is one thing that makes him extremely arrogant, and even I don't look down on him."
Yuan Chun asked curiously: "What is this?"
Empress Yin Xiu Feng Palace covered her mouth and said: "He said that the daughter he gave birth to was the most well-behaved, sensible and beautiful daughter in the world. But don't talk about this to me, even the emperor praised me when he saw it. You don't know, I I have seen so many famous ladies in the palace, but none of them can compare to my niece from my mother's family. This year my niece is fourteen years old, and she has reached the age of being a virgin. She hurts me so much that I can't even see my eyes. I was also reluctant to let go. I was afraid that I would fall in love with the wrong person and regret it for the rest of my life, so I asked me to help me a few times. I said it was other things and I never asked me for anything. I just wanted my help for this matter.
I have always paid attention to the children of the Xungui family, but I looked around and saw none of them. By chance, I saw the new marquis of your Jia family at the emperor's place today. He really has a face as beautiful as a jade. He is also a good person among people in terms of style. He is not a dandy who shrinks back and dares not to show off when he meets the emperor and me, and only relies on the shadow of his ancestors to hide his identity. I am very satisfied, and I think my brother from my mother's side will also do it. It will surely catch your eye. I specially called you here and asked you to write home and ask your wife, if you don’t mind that my Yin family is a small family, I personally protect this matchmaker, but I can’t do it well. ?”
Yuanchun: "..."
