Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

As soon as Jia Zhen's words came out, the upper room of Rong Qingtang fell silent, and they all looked at Jia Zhen and did not speak.

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Zhen calmly, drooping her face and saying nothing.She knew very well in her heart that since Jia She had quarreled with her, her status in Ningrong Second Mansion had been hit, and her prestige was not as good as before.As the head of the clan, Jia Zhen is not as obedient as in previous years.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were cold, she looked at Jia Zhen coldly, then lowered her eyelids and twisted the beads in her hand.When she entered the palace in Yuanchun, she represented not only the Rongguo Mansion, but the entire Jia family, and even the four major families of "Jia Shi Wang Xue" in Jinling.The majestic Ningguo Mansion, 2000 taels?Oh, what a shame!

Jia Zheng still frowned, fully expressing his disapproval of raising this sum of money.However, who knows how he will feel when someone sees his gently rubbing fingers.

"Oh, since the old lady, the second wife, and brother Zhen are all so generous, then the second master and I can't be stingy. This is to save luck for the eldest girl, and it is also a blessing for our Jia family. Our first wife..." Seeing that it was so quiet, Wang Xifeng hurriedly slapped her hands and asked with a smile, "Madam, how suitable do you think we are?"

She wanted to say how much she had with Jia Lian, but when she saw Mrs. Xing out of the corner of her eye, she immediately gave up the idea and only mentioned the whole big house.The Second House will give one, and the Ning Mansion will give one, so it doesn't make sense for the Dafang to get two, right?

Mrs. Xing raised her eyelids when Wang Xifeng asked her, feeling extremely annoyed.This daughter-in-law never asks her for advice on weekdays, but now that she has to pay for money, she knows how to ask her opinion.What's the matter, I still expect her to get a lot of money.

"Old lady, you should know that the master is not at home now, and I come from a small family, so I don't have any private house on hand. But second brother, younger siblings, don't worry, I will write a letter to ask about this matter when I get back. Ask the master, I will tell you as soon as the master answers the letter." Madam Xing put on a rascal face, anyway, the dead one is not afraid of boiling water, she has no money, what can I do?

Besides, just because of the way the two families made a fuss before, if the daughter of the second room will become the queen mother in the future, what benefits can they give to the first room?It is good not to push their whole family into the fire pit.

These two sentences made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang want to roll their eyes. When she asked Jia Amnesty in a letter, let's not talk about the reply, I am afraid that Yuan Chun would have already been canonized.But seeing how Xing's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, they have nothing to say.

Knowing that it's useless to say it, who wants to bother.

However, the Xing family can drag her past with a stern face, but Feng girl can't.In her hands, there is some foundation.

When a grandmother, aunt and aunt all set their eyes on her, Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth in hatred.What she hates is not her grandmother, nor her aunt and aunt, but the one who made her fall into such a situation.

"Girl Feng, what do you say? I have to wait to ask the Elder Master if it's okay, or do I want to wait for Lian'er to come back?" Mrs. Wang stared closely at Wang Xifeng, she wanted to see if her niece really dared to turn her face , when her daughter was about to become a concubine.

Wang Xifeng just laughed.She couldn't help laughing, this aunt really found a reason for her - she is a man, she is really not at home.

A while ago, Uncle Lin from Yangzhou sent a letter, saying that she was ill and asked her to go home, meaning that she wanted to see her for the last time.In order to escort sister Lin and help the Lin family govern, Jia Lian was sent to Yangzhou.Now, I'm afraid I'm just with the master.

It's also fortunate that Baoyu is a treasure, young, and the second master ignores everything, otherwise it would not be Jia Lian's turn to make this trip.

But she had heard that the four generations of the Lin family were vassals, and they were passed down from generation to generation, and Uncle Lin had been serving as the inspector of salt and censor for several years, and his family was rich.Uncle Lin's departure now falls on sister Lin's head.

For this reason, the old lady and the others still want to keep Sister Lin at the mansion, not even Nanny Lai and Lai Da mother and son are sent here.

"Look at what you said, of course we have to wait for the man to come back to make up his mind about family matters." Although he had a plan in mind, seeing the ugly faces of the old lady and the second wife, Wang Xifeng still thumped, and changed his words: "But The eldest girl and I were also sisters in the middle of the boudoir, so I will pay 500 taels here to congratulate the sisters."

……

Mrs. Wang, who returned to Lixiangyuan, took the bank note sent by Jia Zhen with a gloomy face, and threw it beside the pillow.At her feet, there were several silver bills, counting them to exactly 500 taels, which were sent by Wang Xifeng.

Mrs. Wang glanced out of the window impatiently, and raised her voice to ask: "Where are you, Mrs. Xue hasn't come yet?"

She was asking about her natal sister Xue Wang, who moved to Beijing earlier this year, and now lives in Rongguo Mansion with her two children.

Xue Wang married the head of the Xue family in Jinling in the early years, but it is a pity that her husband passed away two years earlier and became a widow. Because her daughter will enter the palace next year for election, and her son has a bad temper, the whole family moved to Beijing.

"I asked my sister to wait for a long time, I'm here." Xue Wang heard the sound before anyone saw it, and opened the bamboo curtain with a smile to come in. She is a middle-aged beautiful woman in her early forties, with an extremely gentle charm.

Behind her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, round and beautiful in appearance, who greeted Mrs. Wang very demurely.This is Baochai, the daughter of King Xue, who wants to be sent to the palace for election next year.

Today, the Holy Majesty is in his prime, and two of the princes have reached the age of marriage. It is the time when the honorable family of the Manchu Dynasty wants to send a girl to participate in the election.That day, Jia Yuanchun had been unable to assume the position, so the four members of the Jinling family turned their attention to the girl from the Xue family.

"Sister, I have to congratulate you well, our Yuanchun is in its early stages." Mrs. Xue Wang held Mrs. Wang's hand, and said with a smile: "As an aunt, I don't have anything good to give her. Take these sisters, so that Yuan Chun can have more money in the palace."

Saying that, Mrs. Xue took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

Seeing the bulging purse, Mrs. Wang couldn't help stretching her eyebrows, and after a little refusal, she happily accepted it.She was in a hurry to call her sister to come, not only because of this sum of money.With the help of her younger sister, she no longer has to move her private house.

I just don't know how much my sister sent this time, and whether I can let her keep some for Baoyu.

There were two sisters, one was anxious to count the bank notes, the other didn't want to delay the matter, so they separated quickly without saying a few words.Xue Wang took her daughter back to her residence, which was a courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion.

"Oh, thank you so much, thank you Buddha and Bodhisattva, thank you..." Mrs. Xue clasped her hands together as soon as she sat down, thanking her back and forth, and her daughter Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, what are you thanking for? When I went to my aunt just now, I saw that my mother seemed very happy, but because of sister Yuanchun, can I be so happy?" Xue Baochai took the tea from Tongxi, the maid, and personally handed it to the mother.

Xue Wang took it and put it in his hand, and held his daughter's hand instead. First, he sized him up until his daughter bowed her head in embarrassment. Then she sighed and said with a smile: "Isn't it just for that joy. Baochai My son, mother is not willing to send you into the palace. That place is not a place where you can enjoy happiness. "

"Let's not talk about anything else, just take a look at your cousin Yuanchun. She is not yet [-] years old, just at the age of budding, and she was sent in and never seen again. If it were you, But how can I ask my mother to be willing. Mom now only has you and your brother, if we don’t see each other again, half of my mother’s life will be lost.”

She put her arms around Xue Baochai's shoulders, and said with regret and joy in her voice: "One more thing, you see, she has been in the palace for more than ten years, what happened when she arrived? The Supreme Emperor is over 60 this year, how old is Yuan Chun? What is the blessing of the girl's family? Sometimes I am afraid, what if you go in like her, what will you do! Fortunately, fortunately..."

"Fortunately, no matter what, she finally came to the throne, and our four families can count on it, so we don't have to count on you to enter the palace. Now, I just hope that your aunt can put more money into the palace, and try my best to let Yuan Chun This way, my son, you don’t have to enter the palace, but you can also see the right family and prepare for the marriage.” Xue Wang stroked her daughter’s cheek and sighed: “My Baochai will be fifteen next year. It's over."

Xue Baochai lay quietly in her mother's arms, listening to what she said from the bottom of her heart, but her eyes did not move.

At the beginning of the year, the family of three came to Beijing, saying that it was for her to be elected, but in fact, most of the reason was to avoid the limelight for the brother who had committed a crime.Now, she wants to go to the palace to give it a try, but her mother wants to back down, what a reason!

"I'm afraid Mom thanked you a little too early. I don't think Uncle would value Sister Yuanchun too much." Xue Baochai leaned her head lightly on her mother, and said in a low voice: "You also said that she is now serving the Supreme Emperor, and the current Holy Majesty is the same. The Supreme Emperor is... Sister Yuanchun probably won't be of much help to the family."

Hearing this, Xue Wang's joyful face darkened, "This..." She loves her children, and her daughter's words are right in her heart, but she deliberately ignored them, so how can she feel better in her heart.

well!At the beginning, if it wasn't for the son's incident that made too much trouble, and her brother mentioned to her that her daughter was to be elected, she was timid and agreed without thinking much.She, although she loves her children, but after all, she loves the stupid son more.

Seeing that her mother was sad again, Xue Baochai felt bad, and secretly regretted her nonsense, so she quickly laughed again: "Mom, don't worry, there are girls in the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Jia family, if they really want to send them to the palace again , it may not be my turn."

Knowing that her daughter was comforting herself, Xue Wang stopped frowning and patted her daughter's back with a smile.What her daughter said just now reminded her that her daughter is not the only girl of the right age among the four big families in Jinling.This matter still needs to be pondered.

They were talking about their participation in the palace, and Yu Wenxi and Jia Xiaohuan in the Qianqing Palace were also talking about next year's draft.
