Chapter 513 Pai Gow Crescent

When summer comes and autumn comes, the card game in Cining Palace cannot be beaten. Occasionally, the eldest princess Zhaoyang will not go there, but the eldest princess must go there every time.

The eldest princess's in-laws' surname is Liao.

The Liao family was a large family in Yangzhou. During the Renzong period, the Liao family's legitimate family was in a weak position, and there was no outstanding talent among their descendants. Instead, they were children from the outer room, a high school Jinshi named Liao Yun, and later they were elected as Shujishi. After Liao Yun became an official, he took the right side in several political turmoils and had a prosperous career in his life. When Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne, Liao Yun was appointed as the Minister of Revenue and the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, and was known as the "Character".

Now the Liao family in the capital is Liao Yun's branch.

The eldest princess’ husband Liao Jin was 22 years old and was the top scorer in high school. When he was riding a horse and parading on the street, he took a look at him and brought the scene of the first prize Princess Shang on the stage to reality.

However, after becoming the prince-consort, the top scholar in reality did not serve as the inspector of the eight palaces on the stage. Instead, he compiled books in Hanlin Courtyard for a lifetime, talked about poems and tea with the eldest princess, painted eyebrows and wore flowers, and was poetic and picturesque for decades, and passed away a few years ago.

The eldest princess Liao knew about it, but he probably wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. The eldest princess, who has been so elegant all her life, suddenly changed her nature after his death. What poetry and paintings are not as interesting as playing cards. The eldest princess not only entered the palace to play cards, but also sat on the card table every day in the mansion.

In addition to playing Ye Zi Card, the eldest princess also likes to promote Paijiu, and it also requires real money, otherwise the old lady will feel that it is not enough and boring.

The eldest princess is the emperor's aunt. She is the highest-ranking family. Who dares to win her money? So the eldest princess will win every bet, and the more she fights, the more courage it becomes.

Miss Zheng Yu was seen by the eldest princess at the gambling table.

Zheng Yu's grandmother was the elder sister of Prince Liao. Mrs. Liao had been dead for many years, and her son and daughter were not in the capital. Her son Fan Wenyang was sent to Guangdong, and her daughter Fan married far away from Shu.

Last year, Fan Wenyang was promoted to the prefect of Changping, and then he gradually had contact with his uncle's family.

Since the Fan family married into Shu, they have been unacceptable to the local environment and have been suffering from minor illnesses for more than ten years.

After Fan Wenyang arrived in Changping, he learned that his nephew Zhengjun had passed the exam for the Tongsheng, so he wrote a letter to invite his sister and son-in-law to take a pair of children to Changping to live. One is to take care of his sister's health, and the other is to hire a famous teacher for Zhengjun.

The Zheng family is a large Shilin clan who was also a descendant of poetry and books in Shu, but in the past decade, it has been difficult for the Zheng family's children to do anything in their careers.

Zheng Yu's father Zheng Longyue and Zheng Wan's father Zheng Li are brothers across the head of the room.

Zheng Longyue was a Jinshi and served as a county magistrate. He knew that he could not make any progress in his career, so he simply went home.

After Zheng Longyue resigned from office, he traveled in Shu with his two children to investigate the customs of the people. After a few years, he wrote two books introducing the scenery of Shu. He was very fond of his two children. The signatures of these two books were the names of the father and son, Zheng Longyue, Zheng Jun and Zheng Emei.

Zheng Emei is the word Zheng Yu took for herself.

It was only after reading these two books that Fan Wenyang decided to cultivate his nephew Zhengjun.

Over the years, he has always regretted not letting his sister marry into the Zheng family. At that time, the old man of the Zheng family had just retired, and there were many old friends and the Zheng family flourished.

Who would have thought that Princess Yongen would marry after just one year after the Fan family entered the family.

At that time, Fan Wenyang knew that the future of the Zheng family had ended.

Princess Yongen is a descendant of Queen An. It would be fine if Prince An’s descendants were honestly a free king, but Zhao Baian had something to do and was executed.

Princess Yongen is Zhao Baian's sister.

If it weren't for these reasons, how could the dignified daughter marry far away to Shu?

It is called marriage, but it is actually about exile.

But at that time, Fan had already married Zheng Longyue, and the couple was in love, and Fan Wenyang had no other way.

Last year, when something happened to Prince Yongen's Mansion, Princess Yongen returned home, Fan Wenyang and the entire Zheng family breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, the knife hanging on the Zheng family's head has finally disappeared.

Not long ago, Zheng Jun entered Fengyang Academy to study. After Fan came to the north, he was in good health. Zheng Longyue took Fan and Fan Yu to live in the capital and traveled to the famous places and historical sites near the capital.

The female family of the Liao family brought Fan and Fan Yu to kowtow to the eldest princess. As expected, the eldest princess was promoting Paijiu.

She still had an impression of Fan and was very happy. On the one hand, she wanted to get close to her younger generations she hadn't seen for many years, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to leave the gambling table, so she asked Fan: "Can you promote Paijiu?"

Fan shook her head. She also heard that the old princess liked to play cards. She thought it was Ye Zipai, but she didn't expect it to be Tupaijiu.

The eldest princess was very disappointed and looked at Fan Yu again: "Good boy, can you?"

Whose 15 or 16-year-old girl can promote Paijiu?

Zheng Yu will do it!

This girl followed her father and brother all over Shu, the city and the countryside, and all the three religions and the nine ancestry were in contact with her. She really learned how to promote Paijiu.

The eldest princess immediately looked at the girl differently, and she couldn't like her well, and lost ten taels of gold for the first time.

That’s right, the eldest princess always gamblings in gold. If you say you don’t bring gold, only silver notes, then you are not qualified to go to the gambling table.

Another thing that the eldest princess likes Zheng Yu is that this girl’s pleasure.

No one who keeps gold with her when going out, but there are gold hairpins, gold hairpins, gold jewelry.

Zheng Yu immediately pulled out the red gold hairpin with ruby ​​on her head, and the female official next to the eldest princess used a small scale to estimate the price.

Although the eldest princess lost ten taels of gold, she was in a better mood than winning money.

Not only did he reward Zheng Yu with several hairpins she wore when she was young, he also brought Zheng Yu into the Cining Palace two days later to show off to the Empress Dowager.

Who told the Queen Mother to tell all day that her granddaughter had solved another case? Who doesn’t have a granddaughter?

There are no biological granddaughters, but there are many granddaughters who are turning around!

The Empress Dowager did not ask Zheng Yu to accompany her to promote Paijiu, and the Empress Dowager was not good at that.

Seeing that Zheng Yu was kind and generous, the Empress Dowager asked about Zheng Yu's affairs in Shu. Zheng Yu knew the customs and customs of various prefectures and counties in Shu. When she learned that the three of the Zheng family were just living in the capital and had to travel around, the Empress Dowager became interested in Zheng Longyue and his wife.

Then he summoned Fan into the palace. Fan was generous, gentle, open-minded and optimistic. The empress dowager was very happy when she saw him. No wonder she could teach a girl like Zheng Yu.

Later, the emperor and the empress dowager talked about the marriage between the eldest prince. The empress dowager asked: "Last time he fell in love with a girl from the Luo family, how are you?"

The emperor seemed to be smiling: "There is no more information."

The Empress Dowager was satisfied and said, "Okay, okay, the Ai family heard that the case that Yaoyao solved last time was to invite the Luo family girl to have an autopsy. This seems to be really inappropriate."

"Well, it was only after seeing the girl's autopsy that he had lost his mind." The emperor said.

"Okay, it's so great. He knows what he should do and what he should not do. That's good." The Queen Mother said.

The emperor asked again: "What does that mother think of the two girls from the Huo family and the Cui family?"

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Didn't the emperor have made a decision long ago? He also had to speak out through the mouth of the Ai family. The Queen and Concubine De raised it in front of you again?"

The emperor was a little unnatural and said, "This has nothing to do with the Queen and Concubine De. My son just thinks that these two families are too strong."

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that the emperor mentioned that the Liao family's nephew Fan Wenyang became the prefect of Changping? The Ai family also knew that the Fan family and the Zheng family in Shu were in-laws."

Being the magistrate of Changping is only one step away from joining the Sixth Ministry. The magistrates in other places are from the fifth rank, while the magistrate of Changping is from the fourth rank!
