The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

Xue Baochai was called the golden lock, naturally because she carried a golden lock with her.The transformation from the eldest lady to the maid was actually much easier than Xue Baochai imagined.Xue Baochai knew that if there were no accidents in the family, she would definitely participate in the small election because of the Xue family's lower and lower status, and if she was elected, she would be a female official.To put it bluntly, she is the big maid in the palace.Many of the court ladies who worked with her were big merchants or small officials. In comparison, her background was not that high.

And being a court lady is not without its benefits. It is not uncommon for a favored court lady to be directly rewarded as the official wife of an official from a humble family, as was the case with her cousin Jia Yuanchun.Thinking about it this way, Xue Baochai felt balanced.In addition, Xue Baochai is a person who can endure or be a man, and the city is not shallow, so she quickly won the favor of her colleagues, and even the mothers who looked at the group of second-class maids often praised her.

Shui Jue's second-class maid, because she entered the palace, was also included in the maid's book.However, Shui Jue didn't intend to train a maid who could serve others, so when Xue Baochai passed the test period, she had Shui Jue's big maid to give her extra lectures.What Shui Jue meant was that if Xue Baochai was strong and loyal, she could consider letting her take over the class of the eldest maid—except for Ziyun who will be the chief steward of the internal affairs of the Princess Mansion in the future, the other eldest maids will all receive part of the princess's property until Only when they get married will they be relieved of the overall management power.

If it is based on ability, it is actually possible not to resign.It's just that Shui Jue is well aware of the nature of women in this world.No matter how faithful the training was before, when most women in this world get married and have children, they will put their children first in everything, and all masters will stand aside.

Shui Jue sent people to check Xue Baochai carefully, and he was quite optimistic about his mental abilities, and the rest was loyalty, and someone would help to train them.Xue Baochai has a deep city mansion, and on the surface he treats people kindly, but in his bones, he has a somewhat cold nature.But these are not minus points, but plus points.Xue Baochai's character is a born businessman.Shui Jue needs someone with a cool nature to do things for her. If Xiang Lin Daiyu is a person like Lin Daiyu who occasionally makes a temper tantrum and has a poisonous mouth, but is actually innocent and kind, she cannot do certain things.

If Lin Daiyu is allowed to manage the store, she can manage the store in an orderly manner, but it is absolutely impossible to make it bigger and stronger.Because the shopping mall is like a battlefield, such a bloodless fight is not something that a pure and innocent person like Lin Daiyu can do.

Therefore, if it is to make friends with others, Shui Jue is more inclined to Lin Daiyu; but when it comes to subordinates, Xue Baochai is naturally more suitable.Shui Jue also believes that if certain conditions are created for Xue Baochai, she will be able to make surprising achievements.

Perhaps it was because Shui Jue placed high hopes on Xue Baochai, whether it was a mother or a maid, they were very strict and enthusiastic towards Xue Baochai, and brainwashing was even more essential.The same sentence, if you listen to it every day, will become the truth, not to mention that it is the truth in the first place.Xue Baochai's first sincere admiration for Shui Jue is Shui Jue's status and the protection of Xue's family. He listens to the blind worship of Shui Jue by the people around him every day, and then sees Shui Jue's ability and...cough, force, Xue Baochai She was also gradually infected, thinking that she should worship Shui Jue in this way. The ambition of Qingyun that she often laments should be the world that Shui Jue showed her.Following Shui Jue, she can really do more wonderful things than men without caring about her identity as a woman.

But in two or three months, Xue Baochai was slowly assimilated by other people.So this group nature is so easy to infect people.

Lin Daiyu has always been inexplicably concerned about Xue Baochai, and often quietly asks about Xue Baochai.When she knew that Xue Baochai was doing well and the princess valued her very much, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.With Shui Jue's consent, Lin Daiyu came into contact with Xue Baochai and quickly established a friendship.For Lin Daiyu's good family background and truth, kindness and beauty, Xue Baochai is jealous and deeply attracted at the same time. He has to love her and at the same time compares unconsciously.Seeing Xue Baochai learning so fast, Lin Daiyu aroused her motivation and worked harder than before.Overall, it's a good development.

It may be because there is no conflict of interest. Although they secretly competed, the two did establish a close friendship that was different from others, and the disparity in status between them did not affect the relationship between the two.Xue Baochai behaved the humility of an ordinary court lady in front of outsiders, but treated Lin Daiyu as if she were an ordinary and equal friend.

Shui Jue thinks this is okay, after all, she is going to support the Xue family, and she will choose Xue Baochai's husband carefully, and sooner or later Xue Baochai will enter the circle of noble ladies.Although Lin Daiyu said that she has a lot of girlfriends, she has almost none.Lin Daiyu would be more relaxed if she had one more heart-to-heart friend to support each other.

Shui Jue still has some sincerity towards this apprentice now.

.........................................

Shui Jue hurried back to Beijing this time because of the little prince's arrest.He was conferred the crown prince upon birth, and the little prince's first birthday banquet was naturally a national celebration.Shui Jing amnesty the world, let the world enjoy together, and then entertain civil and military officials, and finally the family banquet and Zhou Zhou.

Shui Jing would not let his son act like a monkey in front of so many people.In fact, he didn't even want to call a few older brothers, but it was obviously impossible.

Shui Jue looked at his brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Prince Zhongyong had lost his high-spirited spirit. Although he was still very imposing in his clothes, his brows and eyes had lost the incomparable pride, and there was more depression and hostility. I feel very upset.Prince Zhongxian became more calm than before, and the shrewdness on his face was gone, leaving only a refined posture, as if he had really become a literati who didn't care about foreign affairs.And Prince Zhongshun is no longer the prince who used to hide himself as much as possible and act as a background board.Looking at his high spirits now, it is obvious that he is doing well, even with the Supreme Emperor, he can chat and laugh, and it seems that the relationship with the Supreme Emperor has become closer.

Look at the sister-in-laws again, their mental outlook is quite different from before.

What a turn of events.

All the changes and intrigues of the lord are nothing but floating clouds to the little prince who has just turned one year old.For this chubby, thick-headed and tiger-brained child, the various things on the table at the Catch Zhou Banquet are obviously more attractive to him.As soon as he was hugged, he struggled and threw himself on the table.

"It seems that Abao can't wait any longer." The Supreme Emperor loves this little grandson very much, and he was quite worried because he saw that he was in poor health intermittently.Although because the little prince was ill, he only saw it a few times when he was a baby, but he was worried a lot.Now seeing that the little prince's health is improving, and his personality is also lively, how could the Supreme Emperor be unhappy?Thinking that Shui Jue had been clinged to by the little prince just after he came back, and the little prince's health was gradually getting better, the Supreme Emperor thought to himself, Shui Jue really had a destiny with this child.

Of course, this "coincidence" made other people think the same way.

"A Bao?" Since traveling together, Prince Zhongshun and Shui Jue have grown closer. He rubbed against Shui Jue and asked in confusion.

Shui Jue smiled: "Father said that Ah Bao was not in good health before, so he chose an ordinary name first, and waited until he was one year old before choosing a name. This is also the conclusion drawn by those people after divination and astrology."

"Those magic sticks..." Although Prince Zhongshun didn't believe it himself, he knew that the Supreme Emperor believed in Taoists and so on, so he stopped talking.

"Actually, my brother wanted to choose a lower name, and said that's how the folks do it. My brother got the name as a dog, and then he was scolded by the father." Shui Jue couldn't help covering his mouth when he said this, "the father said How can the crown prince of a country be called Goudan, not even by a nickname. These will be recorded in the history books, do you want people in future generations to think of Goudan when they mention your son?"

The corners of Prince Zhongshun's mouth twitched. His brother seems to be unreliable sometimes?He can't laugh.If such a name is really taken, their royal family will definitely become the laughing stock of the ages.

"Brother just loves Ah Bao." Shui Jue explained with a smile on behalf of Shui Jing, "Stop talking, Father is staring at us."

Prince Zhongshun quickly shut up.

The Supreme Emperor withdrew his condemning glances at the fifth son who was whispering to each other in such a solemn ceremony, and then announced the start of Zhou Zhou.

Prince Abao finally got his wish and climbed up the table to find his favorite things.

This catch week, I have trained before.However, Prince Abao has been performing very well, so Shui Jing is also very relieved.Although the people in the palace hadn't been cleaned up yet, Chen Ning'an was very careful when it came to such a big matter. When the things from Zhou Zhou were finally put on the table, she even led someone to check them out.The only thing that can go wrong is things that other people have improvised on the table.But even if these people want to make trouble again, they will not openly do disharmonious things.

When grasping the week, other people have to add things.Prince Zhongyong put a small bow, and Prince Zhongxian put a brush.Only Prince Zhongshun was unreliable, he put a bag of soil, saying it meant "country land", which made the Supreme Emperor and Shui Jing glaring at him.

"Jue'er, what did you release?" Shui Jing asked knowingly.

"The fleet that traveled around the world not long ago has finally returned. This is the latest world map." Shui Jue said with a sly smile, "It was originally prepared to be presented later, but now I will show it to my nephew."

"World map!" The Supreme Emperor couldn't help walking over and picked up the map, "Okay, okay!"

"I... Mine!" Prince Abao was dissatisfied, it was obviously given to him by his aunt, and the grandfather was not allowed to snatch it.

"Cough." The Supreme Emperor, who accidentally interrupted his grandson's catching Zhou, put down the map awkwardly, smiled flatteringly at Prince Abao, and put a small jade seal beside the map.

After everyone finished releasing, Shui Jing put Yuxi on it in full view.

"..." Taishanghuang was speechless, just get a similar one, what should I do if I break the jade seal?Or is it that he trained Ah Bao to catch the week before, and this unreliable son who became the emperor used the real jade seal?Why do you feel so congested?Is his choice really correct?

Apparently, other people were not as keen on distinguishing the authenticity of jade seals as the Supreme Emperor used jade seals every day, they thought Shui Jing just took a similar one.

Prince Abao has been watching covetously, if Chen Ning'an hadn't been dragging him, he would have rushed forward.As soon as Chen Ning'an let go, Prince Abao immediately got up quickly with all his hands and feet. The goal is the colorful cushions given by his aunt!

..........................................

Yes, in the eyes of Prince Abao, this is a colorful cushion, one of his toys.When he followed Shui Jue to the south of the Yangtze River, what Shui Jue trained him was to put a mat (map) underneath, and then he could stack his favorite building blocks on it.This is Prince Abao's favorite game, but Shui Jue said that without a mat, you can't play with building blocks.There is no logic in this request, but for children under the age of one, there is no need for logic, just listen to the elders.

The intelligence of such a young child is similar to that of adult cats and dogs, and most of their actions are controlled by conditioned reflexes.Just like when the owner knocks on the plate, cats and dogs know that the meal is ready.Shui Jue took out a colorful map, which meant that it was time for the game.

Prince Abao climbed up to the map with a rare speed for a baby, grabbed the map in his hand, and with a wave of his fleshy little arm like a lotus root, he cleared a space on the big table, and then put The map is laid out.

At this time, the chief eunuch squeezed his throat and shouted: "His Royal Highness has captured the world map and expanded the territory."

Shui Jing and the Empress Dowager laughed so hard that their teeth could not see their eyes, the Empress Dowager joked about these two words, and then turned her head to praise Chen Ning'an for teaching well.Other clans and royal families also praised him one after another, even Prince Zhongyong had to give a few hypocritical compliments at this time.

But just as he was about to announce the end of the grasping week, Prince Abao seemed to have dropped the map, and then looked around, crawling here and there, as if he was looking for something else.Shui Jing immediately raised it in his heart, and the chief eunuch didn't know whether he should announce the end, after all, the catch week would not be considered over until the child had caught the last thing and held on.

But the crowd didn't worry for long, and soon Prince Abao found the target - the real jade seal that his father had released, and then hugged the jade seal in his arms, giggled a few times, and continued to climb with one hand.

"His Royal Highness has captured Yuxi again." The chief eunuch didn't say anything auspicious this time, which was already auspicious enough.

But Prince Abao didn't stop yet. He crawled around the table and found that there was only such a block, and he became anxious immediately.Finally, he managed to find a smaller building block - the jade seal released by the Supreme Emperor.Prince Abao smacked his lips, a little unhappy.This building block is too small to only build a roof.Is there no bigger one?

After the chief eunuch announced that the prince had captured the jade seal released by the Supreme Emperor again, the Supreme Emperor and Shui Jing laughed even happier.The other clans also had to sigh, he really deserves to be the prince, he must have been trained many times before.

Children catch Zhou, but no one thinks that children are really good.This has been contacted by parents many times before, which is actually just showing the early education of parents.So the child's failure to grasp the week actually has little impact on the child's future life, but the parents will be ridiculed and despised - even such an important thing as grasping the week can't be taught well, and when the child grows up, wouldn't it be even more impossible to educate the child? ?

Of course, in general, you won't put anything too inauspicious in the week of grasping. At most, you will catch the money account book, which is the most vulgar.For example, at the Boy Catch Week banquet, there will be no such things as needlework, jewelry, rouge and gouache, so if the boy catches such things, it is either lax in housekeeping or intentional, such as Jia Baoyu .

But Prince Abao has already snatched away the best things on the table.After taking away the jade seal and the seal, Prince Abao crawled back to the map, put the jade seal on it, and put the jade seal on the jade seal crookedly, then raised his head, and said to his father, "Still... I want more!"

His father hugged Prince Abao excitedly, and laughed loudly: "That's right! All nations come to court, all nations come to court!"

The Supreme Emperor twirled his beard and nodded in satisfaction.The rest of the population shouted long live, and shouted that all nations will come to the court. After this Zhou Zhou banquet, the reputation of Prince Abao will surely spread all over the world.

Grabbing Zhou caught something like "All nations come to court", which is enough to be included in the annals of history.Look at the historian standing next to him holding a book in one hand and a writing brush in the other, with an excited expression on his face. Apart from the birth of Prince Abao, the first major event in his life that was included in the annals of history is probably a big reputation. .

And when Shui Jue lowered his head and followed the crowd to kneel down and shout long live and Wan Guo came to court, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.What this poor kid is talking about is not about the coming of all nations, but "other building blocks".It seems that her education is still useful, but I didn't expect the little prince to dislike the lack of building blocks.

..........................................

After catching the Zhou banquet, the little prince Abao will also have to get a big name.According to the genealogy, the name of this generation of princes is next to the wooden character (the princess cannot be named according to the genealogy), Shui Jing and the Supreme Emperor have discussed for a long time, but they have not made up their minds.In the end, they took a few paper balls and asked the little prince to grab them himself.The little prince was not interested in the paper balls, and after teasing for a long time, he ignored the paper balls on the table.Later, it was Shui Jue who persuaded him to grab a paper dumpling and reward him with a piece of pastry, so that this brat could be dealt with.

Then the bear child hugged all the paper balls in his arms, and looked at his aunt eagerly.

"...I can only catch one." Shui Jue's eyelids twitched.Does that mean you get as many pastries as you grab?Think beautifully!

The little prince Abao sobbed twice, put down the paper dumpling, picked up a paper dumpling and obediently handed it to his aunt, seeing that Shui Jing and the Supreme Emperor were heartbroken.This child is most afraid of Shui Jue, and also the most attached to Shui Jue.

Shui Jue handed the paper dumpling to Taishanghuang, Taishanghuang unfolded it, coughed twice and said, "Wu."

Shui Jing immediately complained: "Why is it Wu, not Tong?"

Shui Jue black line, the two of you have been arguing about your relationship for so long, is it just arguing about "Wu" or "Tong"?The phoenix inhabited by the sycamore tree really has a good meaning.But since they all refer to each other, which one is not the same?I really don't know what you're arguing about.

Regardless of whether someone is dissatisfied or not, Prince Abao's name has been officially named "Shuiwu", but no one has called him by his name yet, and it is still Abao and Abao's name. It is estimated that this name will not be known until he is enlightened. will be used.

.........................................

After Shui Jue returned to Beijing, he started the boring life of accompanying the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager every day. Although he still had errands arranged by Shui Jing, it was impossible for him to go out frequently.The imperial palace is no better than the palace, and Shui Jue doesn't have so much freedom.

Shui Jue is a very patient person, even though his hands and feet are bound in the palace, he will not make himself feel uncomfortable.She occasionally inquires about interesting things in the capital, or goes to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to meet his newly collected handsome actors, which can be regarded as a kind of fun.

There are quite a lot of lively things in the capital recently.The first is the confrontation between Prince Zhongyong and Shui Jing.Shui Jing intended to pursue the former prince as a prince, and even if the former prince died, it would be Prince Zhongyong's heart disease, especially because he forced the prince to death.So as soon as Shui Jing made this decision, he was strongly opposed by the courtiers of Prince Zhongyong. After the crown prince was posthumously named, they were even more like frightened birds.

Framed and murdered the crown prince, that is a serious crime of ransacking the family.Now that the new emperor wants to give the prince a title, does he want to rehabilitate the prince?Do you want to investigate the matter of the prince forcing the palace?This kind of uneasiness made them desperately obstruct the crown prince's pursuit of the crown prince, claiming that the crown prince was unfaithful and unfilial, and to pursue him would be to risk the world's disgrace, and they said that there is no silver 300 taels here.Some people cried bitterly in the hall, saying that if Shui Jing wanted to think about the Supreme Emperor, he almost pointed his nose and said that the Supreme Emperor was not filial.

Shui Jing took this ugliness into his eyes, and said with a sneer, this was a joint decision between him and the Supreme Emperor, if they don't believe it, they can ask the Supreme Emperor directly.He also said that the Taishanghuang had issued a decree stating that the prince was not treasonous. If the ministers insisted on overturning the Taishanghuang's will and accusing the prince of treason, they could also write a letter to the Taishanghuang in person.

The crying courtiers immediately fell silent.Knowing that the Supreme Emperor loves the Crown Prince very much, and is deeply distressed by the Crown Prince's suicide, resulting in his poor health and decree to abdicate, who dares to write a letter to the Supreme Emperor?Since Shui Jing said that the decision was made together with the Supreme Emperor, then in essence, the Supreme Emperor used Shui Jing's mouth to pursue the crown prince for the crown prince. What else could they have to make trouble about?

So the first confrontation between Prince Zhongyong and Shui Jing ended with the first prince being named Prince Yizhong.From then on, all the ministers saw clearly Shui Jing's beatings on them, and knew that they had a big handle in Shui Jing's hands.Now that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, it is impossible for the Supreme Emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of the prince for his own reputation.But Shui Jing is different.He will always live longer than the Supreme Emperor, and when the Supreme Emperor dies, Shui Jing can completely turn over the old score, and he is not dead enough.

Therefore, those ministers who were still loyal to Prince Zhongyong finally saw clearly that the new emperor had ascended the throne, no matter how hard they jumped, it was meaningless.Prince Zhongyong looked powerful, but the Supreme Emperor personally handed over the army and key positions to the new emperor. Prince Zhongyong didn't dare to take the position of the Supreme Emperor before, and now he can't take the position of the new emperor.The battle for the throne has already been decided, Prince Zhongyong has already lost.

And these courtiers should also think about their future.Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor is still alive and can give them a buffer period. If the Supreme Emperor is not there, the new emperor has already cleaned up the ministers of the court, right?

So all the wise ministers still looked for a way out, shrinking their power, retiring their old people to return to their hometowns, and those who were transferred outside. They knew that no matter how dissatisfied the new emperor was, as long as the old people in the family retired, after a few years, the children and grandchildren would be re-entered. The new emperor won't mind if he becomes an official.

With such a split, Prince Zhongyong's right to speak in the court was greatly reduced, and the smile on Shui Jing's face became more and more relaxed.

As for some diehards, such as the Zhen family and the Li family who would not shed tears when they saw the coffin, Shui Jing also began to plan how to deal with it.

.........................................

Apart from Prince Zhongyong's matter, the Jia family, which had been silent for a long time, finally gained a sense of existence once again.Jia Zhen, the Patriarch of the Ningguo Mansion, went away immediately, and the Ningguo Mansion held a grand funeral. The descendants of the four kings and eight princes set up road sacrifices one after another. For a while, there was no difference in the limelight.It's just a joke that Jia Jing still couldn't make alchemy in the gymnasium after his son died. It is said that he didn't even shed a tear, and he kept saying that he was a foreigner who was going to become a fairy, and that the mortal relationship had long been severed. , It makes people's teeth chill.
