The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Now let's say that Daiyu saw that Shang Chanchan drank too much wine and just kept muttering, so she asked someone to bring hangover soup for her to drink, and only said that she would send the picture of cold plums that she had painted the next day.

The next day when Shang Chanchan woke up, the sun was already high, and Daiyu ordered Xueyan to send two ninety-nine cold dispelling pictures.

One is the most common plum blossom style, while the other has nine characters: "Weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze."

At first, Shang Chanchan thought that Daiyu had sent the characters by mistake, but seeing that the nine characters were written strangely, she only outlined them with a very thin pen, but they turned out to be nine hollow characters.So I understood it in a second thought: these nine characters are all nine strokes, one stroke a day, and nine nine 81 days just finish writing and spring.

Shang Chanchan put it away happily, and took out a picture of winter plums that she had drawn and took it with her.

When he went to Qianqiu Pavilion at noon, he gave Xie Ling the picture of winter plums he drew, saying it was a gift from the Xuanhu skin.

They gave her a black fox fur, but she only gave him a piece of paper, and she did not forget to order the next fox fur: "Mother said, that black fox fur is very good, it would be a pity if it was cut, but one piece is not enough to make it." Great cloak."

Xie Ling carefully collected the picture of Hanmei: "I have been paying attention, and I will definitely fill it up for you in the future."

This Xuanhu is also rare.

Of course, although Xuanhu is rare, there are naturally some Shangxie two who want to search for it.There are still a few pieces of skins in the tribute this year. Let's talk about it, it is natural that the good fox furs from Kanto are far better than those from the capital.

However, since Xie Ling made this piece with his own hands, Shang Chanchan kept it and never made a cloak with others.

People in winter tend to be sleepy. Princess Lirong was punished by the stern Master Wu for copying books because she fell asleep in the hall today, so she had to come later.

Shang Chanchan spoke with the Fifth Prince and Xie Ling here.

He couldn't help talking about Jia Baoyu again, the fifth prince kicked the snow on the ground and said, "Royal father won't blame you for this, but not necessarily grandpa, Jia Baoyu is the grandson of Duke Rong. "

Looking at Shang Chanchan, he remembered the previous incident: "The Marquis of Baoning came to ask for a painting, and was punished by the emperor. You beat people first. The Rongguo Mansion will use the old lady's post for a while. Invite the imperial physician, and later invite the imperial physician through the concubine, making a fuss endlessly, as if Jia Baoyu was beaten to death."

It's nothing more than building momentum, wanting to make the Cheng'en government apologize.

Shang Chanchan smiled and said, "But how can Mr. Wang be the same as Jia Baoyu?"

Wang Ziteng was a confidant of the Supreme Emperor, and Jia Baoyu was at best just a grandson of his dead confidant.

The fifth prince threw a big snowball to smash the tree: "But Ah Ling did it first. Even if he is not punished, he will probably have to come to apologize."

Shang Chanchan wondered, "Didn't he also apologize for beating the Third Young Master Liu of Jing Zhaoyin's family last time?"

The fifth prince chuckled: "The matter didn't even reach the palace, so my uncle suppressed it. But Jia Baoyu is different. How can the Empress Debi be in the palace to hide the truth from Grandpa and Father?"

Xie Ling said lightly: "For what he said, it would be light to beat him up."

Shang Chanchan thought for a while and asked, "When you hit him, did you see his jade? Especially did you see the words on it clearly?"

Xie Ling shook his head: "I didn't look at it carefully."

Shang Chanchan understood in her heart: just like the king of Beijing Jing wanted to come to see Jia Baoyu for the first time, the people in Beijing probably only knew that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade title, and didn't know what words were on it.

So she said with a smile: "The words on it are: don't lose, don't forget, longevity and prosperity."

Both the fifth prince and Xie Ling frowned immediately: the auspicious event of being born with jade would be eye-catching in a courtier's family, not to mention the words "immortal longevity and constant prosperity", which they can bear?

Several people narrated the story of Jia Baoyu once, and then began to review the birds that were beaten today.

Now the sky and the earth are completely white, and the white doves disappear when they are released, and even other birds are too dusty to be recognized in the snow.

So the fifth prince came up with an ingenious idea and actually bought a batch of red, green and green parrots with particularly bright coats from the bird department.

The parrots of Quiniao Division are all trained to serve concubines.Naturally, he is extremely clever, just like the parrot raised by Daiyu in the book, who can not only read poems, but also tell Miss Zicuckoo to come and lift the curtain.

Now that Shang Chanchan saw these dozens of parrots with black and bright mung bean eyes, she taught them how to speak on a whim. Anyway, she was waiting for Princess Lirong, so she was idle when she was idle.

She taught it like this, but it was a bad thing.

When Princess Lirong arrived at the scene, when everyone started hunting birds, it became a mess.

The fifth prince hit one with his hand, only to hear the parrot squeak: "Don't hit me, don't hit me!" The voice was so loud and shrill that it startled the unsuspecting fifth prince.

At the same time, Princess Lirong also received a scream: "Heroic man, spare your life, hero, spare your life!"

The two looked back at Shang Chanchan and almost laughed, and said: "There is no one else, it must be Chanchan who taught them indiscriminately."

Sure enough, if the fight continued, there were many people who only listened to the parrots reading poems, begging for mercy, asking for peace and shouting for a thousand years, and even started reporting the name of the dishes...

The scene suddenly became chaotic, as if dozens of people were arguing.

The fifth prince's scalp was numb from the quarrel, and he vowed that he would never see a parrot again in his life, and the few of them dispersed in an anticlimactic fashion.

Shang Chanchan also picked a parrot that could recite poems and brought it back to Daiyu as a return gift for Daiyu to draw her a picture of dispelling the cold.

In the evening, the emperor went to the queen's palace for dinner and talked about Jia Baoyu.

"Fortunately, my father thinks that Ling'er is fine, so I don't blame him this time. I just ask him to apologize for seeing Jia Baoyu in the future."

The queen answered with a smile, and started gossiping: "Yes. The concubine knows about it. The younger sister De concubine came to plead guilty to the concubine two days ago. She only said that her younger brother has a simple temperament and comes naturally. The slanderous words humiliate the heroes."

The emperor sneered and said, "Actually, according to me, Ling'er is not mistaken. The children and grandchildren don't even look down on the achievements of the ancestors, and the Rongguo Mansion is here."

The queen smiled: "The elder brother of the Rongguo Mansion was born because of the jade title. Everyone praises him for being promising. Just like Depin was born on the first day of the first lunar month, he is also a good fortune. I heard that there are two sentences on the jade. The auspicious words seem to be about immortal longevity and eternal prosperity, and the concubines can't remember them clearly. If your majesty is interested, why not call Ling'er to ask."

When the emperor heard this, his face fell on the spot.

The next day, when the court went down, Xie Ling was called to ask.

Shang Duo and Lin Ruhai happened to be waiting in the Imperial Study Room to return to Longxi for drought relief, and they also listened in on the matter. Shang Duo sneered: "Immortal longevity and prosperity? Rongguo Mansion is so courageous."

The emperor asked Lin Ruhai again: "Lin Qing's family is the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, do you know about this? If I remember correctly, you were not released to the south of the Yangtze River back then, you should have been a doctor at the Lantai Temple in Beijing."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt a little dangerous, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I also heard about this back then. My uncle ordered someone to send the news, saying that something strange happened in the Taoist family, and that the second son was born with jade. However, the above words, The minister has never seen it with his own eyes."

Shang Duo explained for Lin Ruhai: "Mrs. Lin was still there back then, so she might have seen it with her own eyes. Mrs. Lin seldom enters the inner house, and now she is very estranged from the second room of the Rongguo Mansion. It is not surprising that she has not seen it."

Then he said: "How big can a child's mouth be, and he can still come out with a piece of jade like a bird's egg in his mouth? Yichen said that these auspicious omens are not reliable. Now that the minister is in charge of the center of the governor, it is normal to be born back then. Where is it?" It was his Jia family's turn to be born with the jade. Mostly he learned the auspicious stories about the rosy rays and thunderstorms."

"If it's a woman, it's better to be Mrs. Gouge, but as a man, I don't know what the Jia family wants to do with auspiciousness."

This is to give the Jia family a false auspicious hat.

The emperor looked calm, and only said to Xie Ling: "You don't need to go to the Rongguo Mansion to make amends, I will go and explain this matter to the emperor."

Shang Duo never dared to say anything in front of the emperor, but the emperor trusted him more.

So this time, Lin Ruhai and Xie Ling were asked to go down first, leaving only Shang Duo himself, and then he said with a long face: "It's a good one, don't forget, immortal life is eternal. I am a long live, and he can live forever Is it? Then why don’t I, the emperor, stop doing it and give it to Jia’s family to do a good job?”

The emperor still called himself the Son of Heaven, but Jia Baoyu was about to go to heaven.

The emperor was originally a careless person, and this time he added a new debt.

Jia Yuanchun didn't know the reason, and cried twice in front of the emperor that his younger brother was beaten innocently. Seeing that the emperor was impatient, he dared not mention it again.The good medicine in the palace can only be sent out like running water.

Not only medicine, but also snacks such as steamed cheese with sugar are often sent out, so as to add glory to my mother's family.

Moreover, Jia Yuanchun's move was not only to show his sacred favor, but also to sincerely love Jia Baoyu, the younger brother, as the elder sister.

Seeing him being beaten this time, and the Xie family did not punish him, not even an apology, he naturally felt that his younger brother had been wronged enough.Only then did he leave the palace again and again to show kindness, lest Baoyu lose face among the aristocratic families in Beijing.

The Empress Dowager Shang didn't want to deal with this matter at first, but she got annoyed seeing Yuan Chun being so hypocritical.

Who knows that before she beat Yuan Chun, the Supreme Emperor talked to her about promoting Jia Baoyu!

The Supreme Emperor sighed: "The words of the child in Rongguo Mansion are all children's words, which is very unreasonable. Back then, Jia Yuan and his brothers were so brave and good at fighting. Jia Daishan was also a tiger father and no dog son. How can the children and grandchildren become like this today? I want to give If he has a chance to be decent, ask him to come out and practice for a while, and if he knows the suffering of his ancestors, he will become a tool."

The Supreme Emperor is now old and his legs and feet are not flexible, so he often misses the military affairs of the past, and he is especially tolerant of these veterans who have gone to the battlefield together.In addition, the emperor insisted on refusing to ask Xie Ling to go to Rongguo Mansion to apologize, so the Supreme Emperor was a little unhappy, and wanted to give Rongguo Mansion a face.

So he added: "The emperor still suspects that the Rongguo Mansion has faked auspiciousness, but I think it is a rare thing that Jia Daishan's descendants will not be like this. Since his children and grandchildren have such blessings, it is better to experience it as soon as possible. , I can't say that I will be another Duke of the country with great military exploits."

The Empress Dowager Shang almost couldn't help rolling her eyes at the Supreme Emperor: Xianshou Hengchang doesn't care about these words, do you have to cut out a "Great Chu Xing King Chen Sheng" from the belly of the fish next time so that you can be the emperor? root string?

I had no choice but to persuasion: "Your Majesty misses the old kindness very much. He is indeed a benevolent monarch. It's just that my concubine heard that Shi Taijun dotes on this grandson very much, and this brother of the Jia family is also born weak."

"So it's inconvenient to send him directly to the barracks. I'm afraid he won't be able to endure the hardship. If he doesn't pass the training, his body will be damaged. On the contrary, the Jinwu Guards don't work very hard, and they can learn some ways of the world. Your Majesty It’s better to ask him to practice for two years first, if he is good, he will be promoted.”

The Supreme Emperor thought for a while: "Forget it. Give him a general in the waiting room first." After all, Jia Baoyu's words belittled the general, and it would not be good to let him enter the Beijing camp now.

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, and began to miss the past with Queen Mother Shang.

In fact, the Supreme Emperor cared so much about his old ministers when he was old, not only because of the deep friendship between the monarch and his ministers, but also because he missed the youthful and heroic self.

After Shang Chanchan heard the news, she couldn't help crying for Jia Baoyu.

The Jinwu Guard sounds very imposing, but in fact it is only in charge of patrolling and guarding the capital day and night.

To put it bluntly, it is a patrol team patrolling the streets.Jia Baoyu was thrown in, not the sheriff sitting in the office, but just the top patrolling soldier.

Zhong Hou Lang Jiang is an official of the seventh rank. He is not only responsible for patrolling the gates and corners of the city, but also responsible for night inspections after sunset, and opening the city gates with drums when he wakes up in the morning.

It can be said to wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than cats.

With Jia Baoyu's pampering, how could he bear it?

Sure enough, as soon as the news reached Rongguo Mansion, it was like a bolt from the blue, knocking out everyone in Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang was crying so hard, but because Wang Ziteng was not in the capital at this time, she had nowhere to ask for help.

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu became seriously ill. He even vomited blood on the spot, just like when he heard the news of Qin Keqing's death before, and was so shocked that he was so frightened that he was out of his wits.

Then he even refused to take medicine, saying that he would rather die than do such a job.

But the order has been given.

This is not the way he was disciplined by his own father Jia Zheng in the past, it is Jia Mu who can protect him.

Therefore, no matter how much he cried and threw jade, even though his heart ached like a knife, Jia's mother dared not resist the order, so she could only tell him to take good care of his health so that he could take up his post after the next year.

The Rongguo mansion was gloomy and gloomy.

Fortunately, as far as they knew, the imperial concubine in the palace was not implicated, but received many rewards from the emperor, and the holy family was even stronger.

He also heard the word from Depin that this matter was a grace given by the Supreme Emperor, with the intention of sharpening precious jade so that it could be reused in the future, so naturally he dared not complain anymore.

Even if Jia Baoyu is so unlucky, the emperor is still not happy here, thinking that a person from the seventh rank is high, and wishing to send Jia Baoyu to sweep the streets with the psychic treasure jade of Xianshou Hengchang.

He only complained to Bao Ninghou: "Father's heart is softened and turned into cotton now. His Jia family fabricated auspiciousness, and he didn't care if his intentions were wrong. Do you think that if your family is no longer the emperor, the Rongguo Mansion will not be able to rebel against him even if it rebels?" Yes, so be a good person. If it wasn't for the queen mother who stopped him quickly, I'm afraid Jia Baoyu could be sent to the capital camp to pick up Wang Ziteng's class!"

What he said was really resentment, and it also showed the emperor's trust in Bao Ninghou, and he dared to complain to him about the overlord.

Shang Duo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is really no need to worry. After the minister knew about this, he also ordered Chi'er to investigate Jia Baoyu. Chi'er only said that he had never seen such an embroidered pillow that does not seek to make progress. Just rely on him. Even if the old sage gave him the Beijing Camp Jiedushi, he couldn't sit still."

It is a great fortune for the four major families to have a Prince Teng after the Second Duke Ning Rong, but after that, there is really no successor.

The emperor still didn't show his face, he just said: "Didn't the father want to give grace to the old minister? Next year, I will show a big favor and give the concubine De to another promotion."

The Supreme Emperor moved his mind to give Jia Baoyu an official position, which really made the emperor vigilant, so he would rather put all his grace on women than anyone from the four major families to have any more military power.

In fact, there is really no need for the emperor to guard against Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu wanted to escape these secular barriers more than anyone else, and he was still crying at home.

Because of Jia Baoyu's bad luck, Shang Chanchan was very happy when she returned home, so she asked the maids to look at Zhengxie, and she personally pasted Daiyu's nine-character cold-dispelling picture on the wall.

It happened that Shang Chi came over and wanted to ask her about the reaction of the palace.

After seeing this picture, he paused, and then handed the picture of dispelling the cold to his sister: "Originally, I also wrote a picture with you, but now there is no need for it."

Shang Chanchan took it over and saw that there were exactly the same nine characters: "Weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze."

It's just that Shangchi's calligraphy is full of dragons and phoenixes, while Daiyu's regular script is beautiful and regular.

Shang Chanchan thought to herself: If this is not counted as a tacit understanding, then it is nothing.

So I also took it and put it on the side with my own hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin gave it to me, and it coincides with elder brother. I read your words every day, so I have a direction to work hard."

Seeing that there was a common picture of plum blossoms dispelling the cold on the table, Shang Chi picked it up and looked at it, and said, "Then you drew this one yourself?" Before Shang Chanchan could answer, he had already seen the picture on the back. Although the first plum blossom poem was not signed, he knew it well.

"I see, you didn't draw this picture yourself."

Shang Chanchan: ...Brother, your firm tone is a bit hurtful. Could it be that I can't write good poems?

Of course, Shang Chanchan didn't dare to say this directly, she could only smile and said: "This year's Lantern Festival, elder brother take me out to play again, I have made appointments with the princess and elder sister Lin."

Shang Chi put down the cold dispelling map in his hand, nodded: "Okay."

The author has something to say: Jia Baoyu really needs to be beaten by the society.
