Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Xiang Yuan joined the cabinet and became a cabinet minister with a very powerful voice in the court. In the eyes of Li Zhong's old family, this achievement is no different than conferring a title of marquis or worshiping a prime minister.The patriarch and the elders got the news by themselves. While erecting a monument and archway for him at home, they sent five or six letters in succession, all asking when he would return home to worship his ancestors.Xiang Yuan wrote back one by one, saying that now that the sage had just ascended the throne and had many affairs, he could not return to his hometown in a short time, so he asked someone to send back 100 taels of silver as compensation for the expenses spent by the clansmen on erecting a monument for him. .

Xiang Yuan was indeed busy. The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and he seemed to do whatever he wanted.In less than three months, three imperial edicts were issued. First, to confer the crown prince on the son who was under one year old; second, to give Qi Ran the title of Marquis of Wu'an; palace.

Just talking about the first one, there is not a single minister in the Manchu Dynasty who does not murmur in his heart.He was canonized as the crown prince when he was less than one year old. How afraid is the saint that there will be no successors?The crown prince is so young, and his aptitude and character are completely invisible. He is not afraid of ten thousand. If the crown prince accidentally grows crooked in the future, he cannot bear the responsibility of the crown prince. Field vibration.The sage is so young and married for less than three years, what are you doing in such a hurry!The worried ministers did not dare to go to the sage to complain, so they all complained to Xiang Yuan, a close minister of the emperor.But the clansmen rushed to Prince An's place to chirp. Inside and outside the words, the saint's heart was too anxious and too arbitrary. It was too childish to insist on appointing the crown prince without consulting them.Xiang Yuan and King Anqing thought the same way in their hearts, but they had no choice but to slap their courtiers and relatives of the emperor hahaha, pretending to trust the saint enough, in fact they almost scolded their mothers in their hearts.

As for the second one, the big guy was also not very comfortable.Now that the saint has ascended the throne, it is natural to accept the harem and extend his heirs.As the concubine's main wife, the queen's love is understandable, and the behavior of a saint seems to be more than that.For the time being, the battle for the title of Marquis of Wu'an was regarded as a loss for the rest of the Qi family, and it was only natural that Qi Ran, as the head of the family, should inherit the title.However, it was a little too much for the sage to bring the queen to congratulate himself on the night of Qi Ran's Xijue banquet.To praise Qi Ran in this way, and to refute the suggestions of the courtiers asking for a draft, this is the rhythm of the saint wanting to favor only one person!How can this be!All of a sudden, a family that planned to send their daughter to the palace for a future career, waited for the wind to move around and seek camps everywhere, which made people in the capital fluctuate.

As for the imperial decree bestowing on Xiang Yuan's mansion, except for a few jealous and envious mutterings in secret, Xiang Yuan knew about it, but I didn't hear any injustices from others.It seemed that everyone took it for granted that the sage gave him such a large mansion.After Xiang Yuan's heart was moved, he couldn't help introspecting.In terms of his relationship with the saint, he is indeed much closer than the emperor Daxing, and the saint can quite listen to his advice, which leads to the fact that whenever there is something, the courtiers who dare not speak to the saint will abduct him. Turn around to bother him.It's nothing more than an important matter in the court, the most annoying thing is those who ask him to exhort the sages to spread the rain and dew evenly, and to recruit beautiful women.Others saw that he was simple in the emperor's heart, and his scenery was infinite, but in Xiang Yuan's heart, he always remembered Qi Yun's words of "one school with five Jinshi, the first assistant can reach the sky".Now that he is in the game, this comment is not a compliment to him, but it makes him feel like a pain from time to time.Any ambitious and ambitious person in power will not like to be a subordinate with too much power and too much limelight.Especially in such a dynasty where imperial power is supreme, any arrogance will bring disaster.

It can be said that the success of these three edicts, Xiang Yuan, who had finally finished the series of matters following the saint's ascension to the throne, was busy again.Fortunately, Xiongzi is a first-time great treasure. He has been questioned by everyone openly and secretly, but he has always insisted on his own opinion and carried out the imperial decree to the end with a resolute attitude.Although there is room for discussion on the decree, the saint's attitude is very deterrent, whether it is controversial or willful, in short, if the courtiers obey, the saint's position will be considered secure.

Shocking the officials, the young sage also knew that he was reckless, so he hurriedly invited King Anping and Xiang Yuan to discuss countermeasures.King Anping and Xiang Yuan, the old and the young, were all human beings, even though they knew what the saint did was inappropriate, they didn't accuse them face-to-face so shamelessly.The words were tactful and insightful, the sage nodded frequently, and bluntly said that if there is something inappropriate in the future, please ask King Anqing and Xiang Yuan to speak out.King Anping and Xiang Yuan were relieved to see that the sage could listen to him. They were not afraid that the sage would be young and reckless, or that he would not listen to advice if he did something wrong, and go his own way blindly. This is not the appearance of a wise king.

Sure enough, after the twists and turns of these three imperial decrees, the sage got rid of the frivolous frivolity he had when he first took the throne, and his whole person settled down.

When the sage settled down, Xiang Yuan applied for a holiday to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors with peace of mind.Emperor Qianfeng was very happy to allow the leave, and Xiang Yuan asked his mother, Li, to be a first-class wife, and also approved it. At the same time, he also gave the imperial incense table and tribute bottle, which Xiang Yuan took back to his hometown as a sacrifice to his ancestors in the future. utensils.

Knowing that Emperor Qianfeng deliberately saved face for him, Xiang Yuan thanked him sincerely.The day of returning to his hometown is scheduled to be in January. Before that, Xiang Yuan will be busy with moving.

If you don't move in to the mansion bestowed by the sage, those censors who want to make trouble for nothing will definitely have something to say.

The members of the Xiang family drove all the way to the new mansion, and saw two stone lions squatting on both sides of the vermilion gate, majestic and high-spirited, and the word "Xiang Mansion" was engraved on the plaque in front of the gate.Zhao Shen glanced at it, then whispered to Xiang Yuan, "It can be regarded as a proper name of Xiangfu."

Xiang Yuan smiled.Indeed, he was a first-rank Beijing official before, but the house he lived in still couldn't be called a mansion.In the Liang Dynasty, only the mansions where the royal relatives and people with titles lived could be called mansions.Another special situation is that a mansion bestowed by a sage, like Xiang Yuan, can be hanged on a certain mansion openly.However, the imperial court is not very strict in this aspect. In Xiatouzhou County outside the capital city, there are still many people who have their own mansions.

The Yuci mansion is a five-entry mansion, although in name it is only two more than Xiang Yuan's three-entry mansion in Qingtao Hutong, but its actual area is more than double that of the Qingtao Hutong's mansion.It is said that the former owner of this mansion was a prince from the previous dynasty. He had no other hobbies in his life, he only liked to raise flowers and walk birds, entertain cats and dogs, not do business properly, and liked extravagance.At the beginning, great effort was spent on renovating the mansion, and the layouts are very fine. Pavilions, pavilions, corridors, and walkways, each house has its own characteristics. In addition, the mansion is full of green trees and flowers, and potted plants and bonsai are placed everywhere. One step at a time, beautiful and pleasant.As soon as they came in, Ranran and Tao Tao jumped around and looked around, running from place to place in a hurry, causing the girl and mother-in-law who followed behind to protect them in a hurry, lest the two young masters fall.

"Daddy, daddy, it's nice here. There are many flowers, birds, and trees. The yard is shady and cool, and there is still a fragrance. I like it. Are we really going to live here in the future?"

However, he always talked a lot, and Tao Tao could only nod in agreement when he followed behind.

Xiang Yuan grabbed Ranran and Tao Tao in his arms, smiled and said: "Yes, we will live here in the future. Ranran and Tao Tao will also have a small yard of their own, which you can arrange as you like, are you happy? "

Ran Ran nodded proudly, but Tao Tao beside him clapped his hands happily.

Seeing the completely different reactions of the siblings, Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen looked at each other, both smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

However, she has a rather arrogant temper, and she thinks she is older than Tao Tao, so she points east and west like a big sister all day long.When Tao Tao was young, he would still fight with each other, but as he got older, he seemed to have changed his temper, becoming more shy and shy, and he seemed to be looking forward to it.

It's just that according to Zhao Shen's secret observation, Tao Tao is a wimpy one. In everything, he asks his sister to go ahead and he follows behind.As the saying goes, three years old is old, seven years old is old, Zhao Shensheng was worried that Tao Tao would go astray in the future, so he was very worried for a while.Fortunately, after discussing with Xiang Yuan, the husband and wife unanimously decided to guide Ranran and Tao Tao slowly and subtly, and strive to turn their tempers on the right track.

Wang Qing and the stewards of the outer courtyard directed the people to move household belongings, boxes and cages into the mansion, while instructing the servants to be careful not to bump them, while arranging the courtyard according to the list.When it was the turn of Ruan Jindie's previous batch of gifts, Wang Qing personally came over to ask for instructions on whether to display them or keep them in the warehouse as usual.

Xiang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said: "Put the ivory carvings in the eldest son's room, and the white jade cabbage ornaments in the second son's room. "Fishing Picture Alone on a Snowy Night" hangs in my study room, and the red coral bonsai is still in it for now. The warehouse."

Xiang Anjue and Xiang Anjing were overjoyed when they heard Xiang Yuan say that they would give them ivory ornaments and white jade cabbage ornaments. They didn't value the value of these two items, but rather the delicacy.Seeing that they both had presents for their new homes, but Ranran and Tao Tao did not, Xiang Anjue took the initiative and said, "Ranran, don't you like the woodcarving in my brother's house? If you move to a new house today, my brother will give it to you." Xiang Anjing He also said: "Yes, yes, and Tao Tao, didn't you always want the Chuzhou style book in the second brother's house? The second brother also gave it to you, as a moving gift."

Ran Ran and Tao Tao got what they had been thinking about, so they were naturally happy, thanked them sweetly, then climbed down from Xiang Yuan, pulled Xiang Anjue and said anxiously: "Brother said you don't want to go back on your word. I'm free, so I'll go get it myself." Tao Tao followed down quietly, rubbed against Xiang Anjing, and looked at Xiang Anjing with big eyes blinking, the meaning was self-evident.

Xiang Anjue and Xiang Anjing held their foreheads together, looked at each other helplessly, and walked towards their courtyard with the two young ones.

Zhao Shen laughed a few times, shook his head and sighed: "These two little money lovers, they want to drag all good things into their own room."

Xiang Yuan glanced at his daughter-in-law, looked up at the sky, and cursed in his heart: a big money fan talks about a small money fan, the crow landed on the pig.

After moving, Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen began to prepare to return home.

At this time in Lizhong, Li Shi and others were extremely excited when they received a letter from Xiang Yuan that he would return home in a month.When the news got out, members of the Xiang family came to the door sincerely to discuss the matter of Xiang Yuan's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Sister Xiang and Second Sister Xiang, who were married far away, also rushed to Lizhong with their families.
