Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Within one month, Wanyu entered the palace three times and was rewarded by the emperor. No matter how calm Jia Min pretended to be, she was happy in her heart. So when Mother Jia invited her to Rongfu in the name of appreciating flowers, she didn't mind at all. After hesitating, I took all three children with me.

Although Lin Ping has already followed the teacher to learn all kinds of necessary books for the imperial examination, but Lin Ruhai also knows that the test is cumulative, and he will not make much progress in a while, so he also agreed to give Lin Ping a day off every ten days, in exchange brain.

It was already the Double Ninth Festival, and what they enjoyed were chrysanthemums and crabs. There were many potted chrysanthemums in the courtyard of Rongfu, which were quite beautiful.But Jia Min saw that Mother Jia was looking for something to do with her, so after enjoying it for a while, she said: "It's windy here, and the children are still young, why don't we go sit in the house."

When Jia Min was a girl, Mother Jia didn't avoid her when discussing things with others, so now she also brings Wanyu with her, but one of Daiyu and Lin Ping is really young because of her age, and the other is a boy However, Jia Min was afraid that his thinking would be misunderstood, so he avoided talking about some things.

In this way, Daiyu and Lin Ping went to play with Baoyu and Yingchun.

Yuan Chun's age is too different from them, and he has to prepare for next year's draft, so he doesn't come out very often.As for Tanchun, she is too young now, and she will only be played with if she comes out, so she is also taken by the nanny and sleeps in the house.

Mother Jia asked a few questions about how comfortable life in the capital was, and how the new Zhuangzi was going, and that was the main reason why she came to see Jia Min.

Yuanchun's draft, this is one of the reasons why Wanyu can stay here and listen. She has entered the palace three times, and she has watched several giants in the palace. Jia Mu also wants to hear her talk, a little The feeling of going to the doctor in a hurry.

"Yuanchun will be drafted next year." Mother Jia sighed and started today's main topic. "A little hanging..."

If you think about it for a while, you will know what Jiamu means, and where is the Yuanchun hanging.

First of all, she has an equal status. Although she is a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, her father's official position is relatively low, and she is really not enough in the capital where big names gather. This has created such a situation: people who match the Duke's Mansion He looked down on her, and the Duke's Mansion looked down on her who matched her status.

Yuan Chun's biological father is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and it has been almost 20 years since he entered the official career, and he has always held this position.In other words, taking this position as a starting point is a good start, but it is very depressing that it has not been promoted for 20 years.

To get married, you must be of the same family. When you can’t even see the other person’s face before lifting the hijab, the only thing you can check is the situation of the parents of both parties.

This item of Yuanchun is really not enough in the capital, her father has not been promoted in 20 years.

So the draft was a straw.

If she can get through in the last round, she can get a lot of points, but this is only a small distance from finding the son of a fifth-rank official to finding the son of a fourth-rank official.

But there is another point, it would be even better if she could become the concubine of the prince.Even in a family like the Jia family, which has been separated from the center of power in recent years due to the failure of their children and grandchildren, but is increasingly eager for power, the old emperor is not a good candidate, he is too old.

In Yuanchun's family, the possibility of becoming a concubine is also almost zero. Of course, that's not what Jia's mother said when she discussed with Mrs. Wang earlier.

"The princes are not of the right age," Jia Mu said.

Mrs. Wang continued: "That's right, the Seventh Prince appointed Mr. Zhao's daughter in the last term."

Mr. Zhao is a second-rank military officer, and they really can't compete.However, Mr. Zhao's grade was ignored at this time.

"I called you here today, just to ask, do you know the princes in the palace..." Jia's mother was still worried about Yuanchun, although she wanted her to run for the sake of the Jia family, even if she could get in At most, she is a side concubine, but Mother Jia also hopes to find a prince who is a little better and treats her granddaughter better.

Jia Min understood, and said: "There are a few vacancies for concubines in the prince's residence."

Mother Jia nodded, she had also heard the news, the seven princes ranked third, fifth, sixth, and seventh all had places in their residences.

Although I feel that my grandmother and mother have picked up the princes all over here like shopping on Taobao, which is a bit disrespectful, but that is the royal family, and he has always been the only one who picks people.But Wanyu can understand that whoever marries a daughter should not be considerate.Although these current plans are likely to be in vain at that time, considering the actual situation, her eldest cousin is used to instruct the next emperor.

"The third prince is not very old, he is in his early thirties." Jia Min said.

"But there are quite a lot of people in his family." Jia Mu added.

So the third prince and the others didn't like it, Wanyu thought to herself.

"The sixth prince is not in good health." Jia Min skipped the fifth prince and ruled out the sixth prince first, "I have a job in the Ministry of Rites, and I still have to go to court every day."

Jia Mu nodded, "I heard that His Majesty dare not send more people to him, for fear of losing his health." In this way, if he enters his house, how can he have children, and if he doesn't have children, how can he compete for favor?

However, the Sixth Prince's health is indeed not good. The priest saw him trembling last time. This is the second one who was not favored.

Jia Mu frowned, and said: "The Seventh Prince only got married last time, and he still lives in the palace. Apart from the concubine, there is no one else on the stage." Can stand firm.

"There is also the Fifth Prince, who is currently working in the Ministry of Household Affairs." Jia Min said another advantage of the Fifth Prince. He is valued.

Mother Jia sighed, "I hope it will come true. Maybe I will have to let go of my old face and go beg the empress."

After talking about the uncomfortable things, let's talk about the good things.

Mother Jia took a sip of tea, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "Rong'er's daughter-in-law next door has been decided." There was a feeling of "you come and ask me" in her tone.

"Whose girl is it?" Jia Min asked as expected.

"The daughter of Yingshulang Qin Bangye." Jia's mother said enthusiastically.

Now it's Jia Min's turn to frown, what kind of official position is Ying Shanlang, sixth rank?Qipin?Never heard of it.

Mother Jia had expected this kind of situation long ago, and the smile on her face was still a little frenzied. She stretched out a finger to look through it, and said, "Which one is this girl's biological father!"

Jia Min exclaimed, "You mean?!" Prince?

Mother Jia nodded, "Bless the ancestors."

Wanyu also quite agreed with this point of view before, especially in her extremely extravagant funeral, where the coffin of the old Prince Yizhong who was ruined was used, and the king of Beijing Jing who came to the funeral, he was a junior present.

But ever since she met the prince and entered the palace three times, Wanyu felt that this matter was not very reliable, let alone the Jia family being slaughtered for being taken advantage of, so she wanted to remind her grandmother.

"Is she an adopted daughter?" Wanyu asked.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It was adopted from the nursery hall, so it must be used to cover up people's eyes and ears."

"I think this is a bit strange." Wanyu said, "Why did you send her out of the palace? The palace is so strictly guarded, how did you send her out?" Wanyu can understand their cautiousness. emotions, so he was very cautious not to show any names in the words.She had to be searched when she went in and out, let alone bring a child out, it was impossible.And is it shameful for the prince to have a child?It doesn't matter even if the child is a palace girl, the father is the prince.Another point is, where can a pregnant woman be hidden in the palace, and no one has discovered it for so long, and who delivered her?

Unless the child's mother is someone the crown prince can't touch, or... the child was born by a eunuch?This is too scary, okay? It's completely wrong with the rhythm of the script.

"You child!" Mother Jia reprimanded half-truths, this is likely to be a daughter raised in the outer room, but facing Wanyu, who is still a little girl, how to explain such dirty things in the outer room to her, so Mother Jia planned to fool around like this.

"He has the holy will, and there are people around him all day long." This sentence implies that the prince has no chance of committing crimes. How old is Qin Keqing? The prince was only in his early twenties 15 years ago, so it is not certain that he has been out of the palace.

Seeing that Mother Jia was already thinking about it, Wanyu added, "He already has five daughters." Wanyu was a little sweaty, it's better to grow up quickly. It was so uncomfortable to have to hide.

"He is the most favored one." Wan Yu said again.

Jia's mother listened to it, and thinking about it this way, there is indeed something strange about this matter, so she said that if her beloved second son raised a woman and gave birth to a child outside Jia's house, she would definitely not be able to hide it for more than ten years, even if she The eldest son who didn't like it very much, when he was young, the old man put a lot of people around him, just because he was afraid that he would be lured by bad guys and do something bad.

Who is the prince, the next emperor, the emperor's heart is sharp, don't have too many spies around you.If there is nothing wrong with this matter for 15 years, then there are only two possibilities. One is that the child will not be welcomed by the crown prince, and the crown prince has never seen her since she was born. Marrying an abandoned son is not worth the gain; secondly, this child does not belong to the prince.

Jia Mu's face changed, red and black, and a little gloomy, said: "I won't keep you today, I will send someone to tell you when I have a letter of approval in a few days."

Wanyu followed Jia Min out of the flower hall, and heard Jia Mu's voice coming from inside, "Yuanyang, go to Ning Mansion and call Jia Zhen."
