Chapter 275, phase reading
How Xiao Ziqing procrastinated, Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin did not know, but for more than a month later, the Empress Dowager did not order Xiao Ziqing and Xiahou Huanyan to marry her, nor did she mention that Shi Fuyin should marry Xiao Ziqing. Concubine thing.
During the period, Mrs. Shi handed over an apology and entered the palace, but the emperor didn't summon him, but asked the head of the inner court to deliver a verbal order to warn Mrs. Shi.
"The emperor ordered that the Shi family's family education is not strict, and hope to strictly discipline the children in the family!"
After receiving such a sentence, the old master Shi returned to the uncle's mansion heavily. After the rest of the Shi family, their complexions were extremely solemn.
For this, Shi Fuyin felt guilty and blamed herself.
Shi Fuxin held her sister's hand: "Didn't you say that the whole family prospers and the other suffers, and when we are glorious, they get the glory, and when something happens to us, they have to bear the consequences together."
"There is no one in this world who can only enjoy the benefits without paying anything."
The truth is this, but when things happen to her, it is really hard not to be affected. Shi Fuyin suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and began to learn the way of imperialism from Nurse Leng.
Shi Fuyin is very convinced of her sister's medical skills, and she also knows that it is impossible for her sister to joke about her life's event.
My younger sister helped her get the chance to marry into An Guogong's mansion. Whether she can seize the opportunity depends on herself.
The future headed wife of An Guogong's mansion can't just give birth to children!
Every April, the emperor would bring his relatives, civil and military officials to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. It has been a long time since Wuchangbo Mansion participated in this occasion, but this year, someone from the palace came to inform them that April 15 Go to Xiangguo Temple to pray with the emperor.
This can stun the family!
"Father, mother, didn't the palace anger us because of Sister Yin?"
Master Shi Wu looked at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi with surprise on his face, and the rest of the Shi family also had the same expression.
Master Shi and Mrs. Shi didn't speak, but they looked at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw Master Shi and Mrs. Shi coming back, they showed anticipation.
"Did you find out? Which palace is the father-in-law who sent us the message?"
Master Shi glanced at Shi Zheng and his family: "It belongs to Shoukang Palace."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.
The empress dowager hasn't given up on her plan to point out Sister Yin to Duke An as a concubine?
Others also reacted, and looked at Shi Fuyin one after another.
Shi Fuyin ignored it, at this moment Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yueegu were pale, and she and Shi Fuxin were busy comforting them.
"Father, mother, it's fine."
"That is, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Hearing Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin's words, Mrs. Shi's eyelids twitched, and she glanced at Mrs. Shi.
When the old lady saw her, she sighed, and said to Shi Fuyin: "Sister Yin is going to Xiangguo Temple to pray this time, so you can't contradict the Empress Dowager again."
Shi Fu Xin looked around at Shi's family, and suddenly said: "What if the Empress Dowager asks my sister to be a concubine for Duke An?"
Madam Shi fell silent, and the others also avoided Shi Fuxin's gaze.
Seeing this, Shi Fuxin curled her lips, and noticed that her father and mother's eyes had dimmed. Although she was a little distressed, she did not regret asking this question.
Parents must know that in the hearts of the Shi family, the interests of the Bo family will always be higher than theirs.
It's not that the people in this mansion don't have family affection for them, it's just that once the family affection involves the interests of the Bo mansion, they have to give way.
Shi Zhenghe frowned and looked at Shi Fuyin: "Sister Yin, don't be afraid, tomorrow, if I don't go today, Bingma Si will resign, and I will take you out of the capital tomorrow."
Jin Yuee nodded hurriedly: "I'll go back and pack my things."
Hearing this, the old master Shi immediately scolded: "Nonsense!" Then, he pointed at Shi Zhenghe with trembling fingers.
"Although Bingmasi only patrols the streets, but you have been working for a few years, even if you look at it, you should understand the sophistication of the capital. If you leave like this, isn't it obvious that you are slapping the Empress Dowager in the face?"
"Even if you don't think about the uncle's house, don't you think about Wulang and Jiulang? You ran away, Wulang is still in the south to arrest the Yamen, and Jiulang is still working in the palace. Are you trying to put your two sons to death?"
Shi Zhenghe said with a painful expression: "But I can't just sit and watch Sister Yin go to be someone's concubine."
The old master Shi looked at Shi Zhenghe with hatred: "There is a difference between a concubine's room and a concubine's room. An Guogong is a first-rank Duke. Even if Sister Yin is a concubine's room, it is better than marrying into an ordinary family."
Hearing this, Shi Fuyin couldn't listen anymore, and immediately stood up: "Grandfather, stop talking, my father loves me and said some angry words, don't worry, I won't contradict the Empress Dowager again."
The eyes of the old man flickered, but he didn't look at Shi Fuyin.
At that time, the old lady wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, and finally turned into a long sigh.
Shi Fuyin blessed Fushenzi: "Grandfather, grandmother, my father, and my mother are not looking very well. Sister Xin and I took them back to Yiguiyuan to rest."
Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yuee left without saying anything, followed by their two daughters.
Watching the four leave, Mrs. Shi looked at Mrs. Shi disapprovingly: "You shouldn't have said those words just now."
When the old man saw that his children and grandchildren were still there, some of them couldn't get off the stage, so he said stiffly: "Aren't I confused? Listen to what Zhenghe said, and you actually want to take sisters Yin and Xin away from the capital. This capital is what they said Can you leave if you leave? Not at all for the Bofu, but for Wulang and Jiulang."
It's not good for Mrs. Shi to embarrass Mrs. Shi too much in front of her children and grandchildren, so she said nothing with a sullen face.
At that time, the old man felt a little ashamed, hummed, got up and left.
As soon as he left, Mr. Shi and others followed suit.
Old Madam Shi waved her hand at Madam Shi and the others, telling them to retreat too.
Finally, everyone else left, but Mrs. Shi stayed.
Mrs. Shi looked at Mrs. Shi: "Is there anything else?"
Shi Da Furen hesitated and said: "Mother, you said that the Empress Dowager ordered the Bo Mansion to go to Xiangguo Temple with her, is it related to Princess Qingyang's Mansion?"
When Princess Qingyang’s Mansion was mentioned, the old lady also thought of the matter of the Shengzi Pill, and she was overjoyed: "According to the days, if the Shengzi Pill is effective, then Princess Yongshou should already be happy."
Shi Da Furen nodded hurriedly.
The joy on the old lady's face didn't last long, she sighed and said, "If Shengzi Pills are really effective, sister Yin who took two Shengzi Pills, the Empress Dowager will not give up."
Which family would dislike having too many children, especially the Xiao family, now there is only one seedling of An Guogong.
When the eldest lady heard this, she also sighed: "It's a pity that Sister Yin's child is lost."
The Empress Dowager asked the Wuchangbo Mansion to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and the Dingguo Mansion soon knew the news.
After Mrs. Ding Guo found out, she immediately became anxious.
"Mother, don't walk around like this, it makes me dizzy."
Mrs. Ding Guogong looked at her daughter's heartless appearance, and nodded her forehead with hatred: "The Empress Dowager informed the Wuchang Bofu to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. What does this mean?"
Xiahou Huanyan said in a muffled voice: "Is it useful for me to be anxious? I can still stop the empress dowager from proposing marriage."
"you"
Mrs. Ding Guogong didn't want to talk anymore, she thought for a while: "No, Shi Fuyin can't be allowed to enter Anguo Gong's mansion, I'll go find my ancestors."
Xiahou Huanyan watched Mrs. Dingguo hurriedly go to Mrs. Xiahou's yard, looked at the birdcage hanging under the eaves, with a bitter expression.
What is the difference between her now and the bird in the cage?
It was obviously a major event in her life, but she didn't have any decision-making power.
At the beginning when she found out that Shi Fuyin was going to be a concubine for Duke An, she was angry, but as time went by, she became angry again.
She is very clear that she doesn't like An Guogong. After marriage, as long as they can respect each other as guests, she will be satisfied.
It is impossible for Duke An to not have a concubine room. Since there must be other women in the backyard, it is not so difficult to accept Shi Fuyin as a concubine.
Even if her mother told her that An Guogong and Shi Fuyin had secretly communicated with each other for a long time ago, she didn't care. With the support of Dingguo Gongfu, no matter how An Guogong likes Shi Fuyin, the head mistress of An Guogong's mansion can only be her .
It's just a pity, she likes Shi Fuyin very much, if she really becomes Duke An's concubine, they may never be able to return to the past.
In a marriage, she not only lost her freedom, but also lost her friends. Thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.
On April 15th, the Shi family got up early in the morning. Under the supervision of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, the female family members dressed neatly and made sure that there was no dishonesty before they got into the carriage and went to Xiangguo Temple.
When Shi's family arrived at Xiangguo Temple, many carriages had already parked at the entrance of Xiangguo Temple. As soon as they got off the carriage, the people around cast strange glances.
Mrs. Shi brought the female family members of the Shi family into the Xiangguo Temple without changing her expression, found a seat and sat down.
Because they were repeatedly told not to talk nonsense when they were at home, the girls of the Shi family could only silently watch the people and affairs around them, not even whispering.
After half an hour, the emperor's dragon chariot arrived.
As soon as the emperor arrived, the blessing officially began.
Standing outside the hall for more than two hours, the blessing was finally over. The emperor took all the civil and military officials to eat in the apse, and the female relatives also went to the side hall next to the apse to eat under the empress' leadership.
After standing for a long time, Mrs. Shi was already tired. With the support of Mrs. Shi, just as she found a place to sit down, Eunuch Xia, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came over.
"Mrs. Shi, the Empress Dowager wants to see the girl from the Shi family, so please follow the old slave to the next room."
When the Empress Dowager summoned her, Mrs. Shi dared not be negligent, and hurriedly led the girls of the Shi family to follow Eunuch Xia to the next room.
The Empress Dowager wanted to see Shi Fuyin, everyone understood, but all the girls of the Shi family were called away, and the female family members present were a little puzzled, and they all looked in the direction of the wing curiously.
In the wing room, the Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and beside her was an old monk with a white beard who was also sitting on the futon.
After Mrs. Shi brought the girls of the Shi family in, she immediately knelt down to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Eunuch Xia, and Eunuch Xia smiled and stepped forward to help Mrs. Shi. As for the girls of the Shi family, they didn't call out.
"Heads up!"
Hearing the voice of the Empress Dowager, Shi Fuxin slowly raised her head along with the girls of the same family, and then met the eyes of the old monk.
The old monk looked at Shi Fuxin with surprise in his eyes, then stroked his beard with a smile, and looked away again.
Noticing the old monk looking at the girls of the Shi family one by one, Shi Fuxin's eyes flickered, what is the Empress Dowager doing? Let the old monk in front of him show them a picture?
After about a quarter of an hour, the old monk nodded to the Empress Dowager, and then Eunuch Xia led Mrs. Shi and the girls of the Shi family out of the wing.
"Master Wuxiang, among those girls just now, are there any ones who have many sons and blessings?"
As soon as the people left, the Empress Dowager looked at the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Wuxiang.
Master Wuxiang stroked his beard, smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
The empress dowager's eyes lit up: "Which one is it?"
Master Wuxiang smiled and said: "Several of the girls summoned by the Empress Dowager this time are blessed people, among which the girl in pink and the girl in blue are more blessed."
The empress dowager did not expect Master Wuxiang to be so optimistic about the girls of the Shi family. The girl in pink seems to be the sixth girl of the Shi family, and Shi Fuyin happened to be wearing a blue skirt.
Thinking of Princess Yongshou who had been diagnosed as pregnant, the Empress Dowager groaned for a moment, and took out three birthday horoscopes: "Master Wuxiang, please do the math for the Ai family, and see which of these two birth horoscopes is more matching This one."
Three birth date horoscopes, one is Xiao Ziqing's, and the other two, one is Xiahou Huanyan, and the other is Shi Fuyin.
Master Wuxiang picked up the birthday horoscope, raised his right hand high, and began to count.
About two quarters of an hour later, Master Wuxiang looked at the Empress Dowager with a tired face, and gave the Empress Dowager a piece of birth date.
The Empress Dowager took it over and took a look, she was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed relieved.
That's all, as long as Shi Fuyin can really give birth to a lot of children for the Xiao family, her status will almost be lost!
After coming out of the wing room, even if they were very tired and hungry, Mrs. Shi and the girls of the Shi family had no intention of eating.
Shi Fuxin glanced at Xiaofang, Xiaofang immediately left the side hall and came back soon.
"Girl, I found out. The old monk is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Wuxiang. I heard that Master Wuxiang is the best at reading people."
Shi Fuxin showed relief, and really called them over to see the photos.
Soon, Shi Fuxin became worried again. The Empress Dowager called their sisters to see a physiognomy. The real purpose should be to see if her sister is suitable for Xiao Ziqing.
Relying her sister and Xiao Ziqing's marriage on the appearance of an old monk, no matter how you think about it, it's unreliable.
"I don't know if the Master Wuxiang is just a fake name, or is he really good?"
Shi Fuxin muttered something in a low voice, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Eunuch Xia coming again. This time, only Shi Fuyin was called away.
Seeing this, Shi Fuxin was overjoyed.
It seems that the matter between her sister and Xiao Ziqing should be settled.
At that time, the old lady also seemed to understand something, and excitement flashed in her eyes.
On the other side, when the Empress Dowager summoned Shi Fuyin again, Mrs. Dingguo's face turned ugly, and she was so worried that she didn't even take a bite of vegetarian food.
Xiahou Huanyan couldn't help but comforted her softly when she saw her: "Mother, even if the Empress Dowager summons Fuyin, it's not a big deal, so don't worry too much."
Mrs. Ding Guogong looked at her daughter and sighed: "Silly boy, I think the Empress Dowager seems to have other thoughts."
Xiahou Huanyan was puzzled: "Any other thoughts?"
Mrs. Ding Guogong: "Master Wuxiang never shows people easily. Today, the Empress Dowager asked him to show Shi Fuyin. Do you know what this means? A concubine, why is this!"
Xia Hou Huanyan paused first, and then a look of joy flashed across his face: "Mother, you mean that the Empress Dowager wants Fuyin to be the official wife of An Guogong?"
Xiahou Huanyan's gloomy complexion suddenly brightened: "That's really great, Fuyin married An Guogong, so I don't have to marry."
Seeing that her daughter was still smiling, Mrs. Dingguo really had a headache: "You fool, don't even think about it. Everyone in the capital knows that the Empress Dowager wants to marry you to An Guogong. The person who married An Guogong was not you, but Shi Fuyin, then you and our Dingguo Palace will really be ashamed."
