The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Besides, until the end of the trip to Tongshan, the second prince's eyes were green, and Shang Chanchan and Xie Ling had not waited for the private meeting.Even the white flags outside the stables were never replaced with red flags again.

Regarding this matter, Shang Chanchan was actually quite depressed.

It's really that the plan can't keep up with the changes, the four of them originally wanted to take advantage of this time to have fun outside the palace.Shang Chanchan still wanted to learn how to ride a horse, but it never happened.

In the final analysis, it was all because of Xie Ling's performance in hunting that day, and the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but think of his military career back then, with his young and heroic appearance.

So seeing Xie Ling was very satisfying, and asked him to accompany him for seven days, and often gave some advice on how to march.

As a result, Xie Ling and his own father rarely saw each other, let alone others.

As the saying goes, the world is impermanent and good luck tricks people, but the second prince Xie Ling has seen the most these days: After all, the second prince is trying to be filial in front of the Supreme Emperor.

Seeing Xie Ling swaying in front of him with a cold face every day, Xiao Cheng was so angry that he vomited blood, wishing he could tie Xie Ling to a private meeting.

While the second prince held hatred for Xie Ling, he discovered another strange thing.

So when he said hello, he asked Concubine Liu Gui: "Mother Concubine, recently when I was walking in the other garden, I often bumped into my cousin."

Why didn't she serve her mother, the empress dowager, and wandered around the palace?No matter shopping, she always dropped things, either handkerchiefs or sachets, just three times when I saw it.This is not stable, and the concubine mother has to talk about her. "

Xiao Cheng's eyes are very high, and he doesn't like daughters from non-gonghou families at all. He would be furious if Ji Wanwan made him a concubine.

So he didn't think about Liu Hanyan at all, and he didn't even notice her daughter's feelings.

He just remembered the past when Liu Hanyan entered the palace, her hair full of pearls and jade rolled to the ground, and was laughed at by Princess Pingning who carried the money tree into the palace.

Fearing that this cousin would embarrass him again, he mentioned this to Concubine Liu Gui.

However, Concubine Liu Gui immediately understood: No matter how stupid she is in other aspects, her daughter is smart in this aspect, so she couldn't help being annoyed.

Now that their mother and son are in decline, it is even more necessary to find a strong Yue family for the second prince.How could Liu Hanyan move such thoughts!

The imperial concubine originally wanted to let her niece marry the son of a family, so as to add glory to the Liu family.Now it seems that there is no need, and it is necessary to find a chance to send her back to Sichuan.

However, before she had time to control this matter, another disturbance occurred in the harem.

De concubine Jia Yuanchun was promoted to be a concubine of virtue, and she was favored by the saints. She was also given the title of virtuous and enjoyed the status of noble concubine.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Shang Chanchan's admiration for the Queen Mother's operation is five-pointed: Jia Yuanchun's title of virtuous is enough to kill a virtuous concubine, and enjoying the status of a noble concubine will even make Concubine Liu Gui jump.

But such an honor made the Supreme Emperor smile all over his face, praising the emperor for his kindness and filial piety, and the empress for being virtuous and reasonable.

The actual operator, Empress Dowager Shang, has hidden merits and fame.

For the Supreme Emperor, as soon as he showed his great love for the old minister's family, the emperor knew it well, and immediately made Jia Yuanchun's honor comparable to the other two concubines who had a prince.

This is not for Rongguo Mansion's face, but for the Supreme Emperor himself.

In the final analysis, the Supreme Emperor's nostalgia for the Second Duke Ning Rong is just an appearance, the most important thing is to confirm his supreme majesty and full control.

Regardless of the inside and outside of this matter, in the eyes of outsiders, Jia Yuanchun is favored and generous, far surpassing all concubines.

The Rongguo Mansion was even more heated for a while, and the flowers were blooming, and everyone flattered them.

Even the matter of Jia Baoyu's birthday in the household department, no one dared to mention the ridicule.

Even more humane, Jia Baoyu has such a noble concubine and sister, even if he is a dandy, he will not worry about his future, no wonder there is an auspicious omen of being born with jade.

So these days, Ning Rong went up and down, inside and outside, everyone was happy and enthusiastic, everyone was full of complacency, talking and laughing endlessly.

Only Sister Feng sneered.

Jia Lian's transfer order has been issued, but to go to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the county magistrate of Dantu.Although it is lower than the official position he donated to the same magistrate, it is serious and lacking, and he is an official of one of the parents.

Moreover, the land of Dantu is a huge trading port, and those who travel to and from the Yangtze River and the canal must take this route, so there are many ships and prosperous trade, and the county magistrate here is a good job.

After Sister Feng found out, she was very happy.

At this time, she was watching Ping'er tidy up, wishing she could pack up the tables and chairs and take them away.

Lin Zhixiao's family stood at the bottom, learning the gossip outside with such an eloquent voice: "Everyone says that our eldest girl will give half of the things belonging to the emperor's family to her mother's family after becoming a concubine."

"You also said that our family spent tens of thousands of silver to go to the temple to fulfill their vows. That's just a hair plucked from the cow!"

"Now there is another matter of visiting relatives, and the rumors outside are even more lively. It is said that the empress will definitely come back with a few carts of gold and silver treasures. Some people say that they have seen our house with their own eyes. It looks like the Dragon King's Crystal Palace. of!"

Lin Zhixiao's family just smiled wryly: "Grandma, listen to the foolish talk of this wimpy guy outside! Teahouses and wine shops all over the city say that, and they can't cover everyone's mouths."

"But what's going on in our house, grandma understands best. Where can I get the money for visiting relatives? It's really helpless."

"That's why I'd rather my whole family go out with grandma than be treated like a second wife here."

Before Sister Feng could answer, she heard the sound of beating the curtain, but it was Jia Lian who came back: "I heard your master and servant talking privately when I was outside, so I came in specially to get you."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "Congratulations to my uncle Guo, who is very happy for his promotion, look at this radiant face."

Jia Lian quickly waved his hands: "I'm not worthy to be this country's uncle. You still use it to make fun of me when people outside praise our family? General Xie is there in Cheng'en Gong's mansion. I really dare to recognize this sentence of country's uncle." I’m afraid I don’t even know how I died.”

After finishing speaking, he laughed again: "Besides, let's say something desperate, don't say that the empress is just a concubine, even if she is a queen, this uncle of the country is also Baoyu's, so it has nothing to do with our eldest wife."

Sister Feng nodded: "Second Master understands what he said. It's just that Second Master didn't ask you to discuss the matter of visiting relatives?"

Jia Zheng is not used to common affairs, so he will definitely ask Jia Lian to help.

Jia Lian spread his hands: "I will take out the transfer order, and just say that I will leave Beijing next month, and the second master will have nothing to say."

"Lai Da Lai Er Yin said that there was not enough money in the account, the two masters asked three questions and just shook their heads. Big Brother Zhen can offer ideas, but he will take money to death, so he doesn't say a word."

"So it's not a matter of discussion, it's basically a family and men practicing closed-mouth meditation together. There is no useful word for half an hour. No, I will leave first under the excuse of handover from the department."

Then he said to Ping'er, "Get me some clothes quickly, so that I can go to Uncle Lin's house to pay a visit."

Sister Feng tidied his clothes herself, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you go to Uncle Lin's place more than you see the old man."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, at first I flattered Uncle Lin, but I just wanted to find a backer. But these days, after listening to Uncle Lin's many teachings, it turns out that there are some truths that even my own father never taught me. Really respect it."

"Now if I don't go to pay my respects every two or three days, I feel bad."

Sister Feng said: "Fortunately, you are not Baoyu. There are many people watching and protecting you when you move. It is also cheap to go to and from the Lin family."

It's sad to say this, the son of the eldest son Xijue's status in the mansion is not as good as the second son's son.

Jia Lian didn't mention going to Lin's mansion here, but Jia's mother called Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng and his wife to discuss the ceremony of this year's Longevity Festival.

Their family had just had such a big happy event. In order to express their gratitude to the Holy Grace, the gift for this Longevity Day had to be richer than others. It was originally prepared, but now it seems a bit simple.

However, after many calculations, the money in the account is not enough to buy valuables.

Silver is a real thing, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it, and it’s impossible to fall from the sky after talking about it.

In the end, Mother Jia had no choice but to take out the top ones from her own body to make up for it.

He also thought about the construction of the Provincial Courtyard. Since Jiamu, all the masters of the Rongguo Mansion felt a little bit stretched.

Jia Zheng saw that his mother was worried, so he persuaded him: "Next month, Lian'er and his wife will not be in the mansion, and it will save a little money. Mother don't have to worry."

He just wanted to find an excuse to comfort Jia's mother, but he poked Jia Amnesty's lung tube: "Second brother, what is the meaning of this! Could it be that the money in our family is spent by Lian'er and his wife? As far as I know, Shang The eunuch came back to the palace to beat the autumn wind, and it was Lian's daughter-in-law who used her own dowry to make up for it!"

Jia Zheng was dumbfounded: "I'm just saying it casually, why should elder brother speak so harshly?"

Mother Jia interrupted the two of them: "That's enough, what's the use of making noise! ​​Now that the Holy Grace is so great, and the mother is allowed to visit her relatives, our family must face this face. Dongping County Palace has already started preparations, and we can't delay any longer."

Yuan Chun's title and treatment all overwhelmed the virtuous concubine, so the Rongguo Mansion had to support her face. If the Provincial House was not as well built as the Dongping County Prince's Mansion, wouldn't it be that Yuan Chun couldn't hold his head up in the palace.

But it is really embarrassing where this sea of ​​silver comes from.

Mrs. Wang, who was silent at the side, suddenly said: "The Xue family is rich, if they are willing to help, they will naturally get it."

Jia Mu frowned, how could she not understand what Mrs. Wang meant.

Xue Jia is willing to help, nothing else, it must be a golden marriage.

Jia's mother also didn't understand, the backgrounds of Xiangyun and Baochai were very different, how could Mrs. Wang be sure that Baochai would not let go!

In Mrs. Wang's heart, she would have been entangled with Baochai's background as a merchant, but now she completely let herself go.

Her daughter is a virtuous concubine of the same noble concubine!There is nothing more noble in the world except the Queen Mother.No matter how strong Baoyu's Yue family is, can it be stronger than the royal family?

So of course she has to choose a daughter-in-law who suits her and stands by her side.

Besides, the Xue family was very generous. When they heard the good news, the gift to the Jia family was extremely expensive. Aunt Xue immediately sealed 1 taels to congratulate Mrs. Wang in private.

However, historians are already poor.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang originally only had the balance in her heart leaning towards Baochai, but now she just threw the scale away, and only Baochai is wholehearted.

Not to mention that Rongguo Mansion closed its doors here to worry about money, but Shang Duo saw Lin Ruhai seeking an official position for Jia Lian and said, "Do you know that some people in the court say you are stupid?"

Lin Ruhai: "Oh?"

He looked suspicious, thinking that it was not someone else, but Shang Duo took the opportunity to scold him.

Shang Duo felt wronged, and said: "Some people say that you broke up with the second room of Rongguo Mansion because of your daughter's trivial matter, and you are unwise to refuse to enter the gate of Rongguo Mansion."

"Now Rongguo Mansion has a virtuous concubine. Many old relatives who didn't move around in the past rushed to contact, but you still didn't even send a single page of congratulatory gifts."

"What are you talking about? By the way, who doesn't know that the Rongguo Mansion is the head of the second house. If you really cut off the family relationship of Jia's family, you are born to stay away from the second house and go to help the first house. You are not stupid."

Lin Ruhai said lightly: "Xia Chong is beyond words, are these words worth telling me?"

Shang Duo smiled and said: "I'm just wondering, since you want to break up, you just let go of your hands completely. Why bother to help the big house again. Rongguo Mansion will be unlucky in the future, won't you be implicated by their mansion?"

It just so happened that Shang Chi brought the documents to ask Lin Ruhai for approval, and after hearing a few words, he smiled and said, "I probably know what Master Lin means."

Shang Duo turned back to his son and said, "You know again? Don't talk about trying to figure out what your own father is thinking, but now you have one heart with your father-in-law."

Shang Chi's smile was as bright and bright as the moon: "Mr. Lin is magnanimous and open-minded, and he knows that it is the second wife who committed evil, so he can't bear to completely ignore the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, seeing his family ruined and killed."

"Furthermore, the Rongguo Mansion is always Duke Lin's Yue's family. In the future, their mansion will face a catastrophe, and they will have to talk about it."

"Since that's the case, it's better to save one in advance: if you can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, if you escape from the crime in the future, the Jia family members who have lost their families and jobs can no longer rely on the Lin family. This second master Lian will be responsible." gone."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Zi Cheng understands my heart very well."

Shang Duo couldn't help but said sourly: "Okay, you two don't have to be one and united in front of me." Then he took the document in Shang Chi's hand and waved him to leave quickly.
