Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

The spring breeze is drizzling, and the cold night is howling.It's sunny and spring in March, and it's only been warm for two days. Last night, it was cold again. Now it's cold and windy, with rain and snow.

Jiang Wanyin's mother and son got into the carriage, and the carriage started to drive slowly.The carriage had to go through the necessary alleys before turning to the streets leading to Tribute Road.

Before the carriage had gone for a while, it suddenly became unstable and swayed, and there were panicked screams from the horses in front.

"Lu An, what's going on?"

"Ma'am, this servant doesn't know. Wait a minute, this servant will rein in his horse and stop before going down to have a look."

It took a lot of effort for Lu An to rein in the horses and stop the carriage, and Jiang Wanyin's mother and son in the carriage were almost fainted from the shaking.

After parking the carriage, Lu An took the lantern hanging on the carriage and got out of the carriage to check. When the candlelight shone, there was reflection on the ground.Lu An knelt down and touched it with his hand, it turned out to be frozen.

"Why is it freezing here?"

Lu An was puzzled.

"Lu An, what's going on?"

Jiang Wanyin raised the curtain and asked Lu An when she saw Lu An squatting on it.

"Ma'am, the ground is frozen."

Lu An came over with a lantern and said.

"What? Frozen, you read wrong?"

Although it was suddenly warm and cold last night, with rain and snow at the same time, it was not enough to freeze the road.

"Your servant read that right, it's really frozen."

Jiang Wanyin was puzzled, she got off the carriage.Xue Hong wanted to help her get off the carriage together, but Jiang Wanyin stopped her.

"The exam is coming soon, so don't catch a cold. You just stay in the car, and my mother will go down and have a look."

Jiang Wanyin took the lantern from Lu An's hand and squatted on the ground to take a closer look. There was really a layer of ice on the ground.The ice layer is not too thick, if people step on it, it will slip, no wonder the horse also slips when stepping on it.

Jiang Wanyin took a closer look, and soon she found out.

"I see."

"Ma'am, do you know what's going on?"

Lu An asked after hearing Jiang Wanyin's words.

"This ice was formed when someone poured water on the ground on purpose, and the thick layer of ice was formed by repeatedly pouring water. According to the situation, someone must have been here shortly after nightfall last night." Splashing water on the ground, combined with last night's cooling, made the ground freeze."

"To do such an evil thing in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's some kind of conspiracy."

The one who was calculating was probably Hong'er who was going to take the exam at the Tribute Academy.

"Who on earth is so vicious and does such a thing."

"Now is not the time to find out who did this. The most important thing now is to remove the ice so that the carriage can pass, so as not to delay the time to go to the Gongyuan."

The purpose of those people splashing water here is probably to prevent Hong'er from participating in the examination.

Those who want to plot against Xue's family are only those people, and those who want to plot against Hong'er are also those people.

"But ma'am, the ice is so thick that there is no way to get rid of it unless it is shoveled off bit by bit. The alley is so long, and it won't take a day to get rid of the ice."

Uncle is rushing to take part in the examination, but he can't afford to delay.

"One day. It doesn't matter, I have a way."

After Jiang Wanyin finished speaking, she was about to take out the soft sword at her waist, when several masked men suddenly rushed out from the darkness on the other side.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Wanyin turned around immediately, and saw the masked man in black rushing over.

It seems that it is really prepared.

First use ice to force the carriage to stop, and then rob people or kill people.It is better to have a chain meter.In order to plot against Hong'er, these people really took great pains.

The Xue family had already offended Prince Rong before entering Beijing, and after entering Beijing, Jiang Wanyin offended Mrs. Wang for her son, and because of offending Mrs. Wang, she offended the Wang family.Jiang Wanyin was worried that these people would attack her son, so she was worried and decided to send her son herself.

After all, in the past few months, neither the Rongguo Mansion nor the Wang Family has stopped.How could Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng let go of such an important matter as Hong'er's participation in the examination.

Fortunately, she didn't worry about following her today, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.

Jiang Wanyin drew out the soft sword at his waist and went straight to meet him. Lu An had seen Jiang Wanyin's skill, so he immediately picked up the lantern and ran back to the carriage cautiously.Knowing that I can't help, it's better to stay away.Xue Hong lifted the curtain and looked out, watching Jiang Wanyin fight against the enemy, but he didn't intend to step forward to help, obviously because he knew Jiang Wanyin's skill.

Jiang Wanyin will never show mercy.

It's just that Jiang Wanyin found out that these masked people couldn't compare with the killers he met in Jinling. They were just a mob who knew three-legged cat kung fu, and they were beheaded by Jiang Wanyin in a few strokes.The soft sword rested on the neck of the last masked man.

"Say, who sent you here?"

"If you are sensible, tell me the truth, and I will give you a good time, otherwise your life will be worse than death."

With a flash of sword light, the masked man's hand was severed.

"I said, I said, it's the second wife, the second wife sent us here..."

The words came out, the sword moved, and the sound stopped abruptly.

The second wife, that is Mrs. Wang Xiulin.

Jiang Wanyin jumped up like a butterfly shadow, she used her internal strength to quickly swing the soft sword, the ice layer on the road was split and shattered, splashing on both sides.

Jiang Wanyin picked up all the dead masked men and threw them into an uninhabited courtyard.That courtyard was originally used by an official in central Beijing to hide her beauty in the golden house, but now it is unoccupied, so it would be best to put the corpse.

When the packing was done, the rain suddenly started to rain heavily, and Jiang Wanyin hurried into the carriage.

"Go. It's been so long, it's better not to be late."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lu An hurried to the car and set off on the road.

"Mom, wipe it off."

Seeing that Jiang Wanyin was getting wet, Xue Hong quickly took a dry cloth and wiped it for Jiang Wanyin.After handing over the cloth towel, he quickly poured hot tea for Jiang Wanyin to relieve the cold.

"Hong'er, I'm afraid these people are here for you. Mother can still protect you along the way, but mother will not be able to help you when you enter the Gong Yuan. You should also be more careful."

"Mother, don't worry, my son knows. Besides, not everyone can enter the Gongyuan, so nothing will happen."

Whoever dares to make a move in the Gongyuan is going against the emperor and the sage, and no one has the guts to think about it.

"In short, you have to be careful yourself. Remember, you must be defensive, and you can't easily trust any outsider."

"Son will."

When we arrived at the Gongyuan, there were already many people waiting outside the gate of the Gongyuan.At the end of Yinshi, the gate of the tribute courtyard opened, and the examinees entered the tribute courtyard after being checked one by one. Jiang Wanyin watched her son enter the tribute courtyard, and waited for a while before leaving.

During Xue Hong's examination, besides taking care of her two younger sons, Jiang Wanyin took the time to go to Rongguo Mansion to collect some interest.

When she saw the loan from Mrs. Wang's private treasury, Jiang Wanyin couldn't help ridiculing.This Mrs. Wang really deserves to be the daughter raised by the Wang Zhen family herself, and she really has the true biography of the Wang Zhen family.He has a vicious mind and does all kinds of immoral things.

It's just that it's not the time to deal with Mrs. Wang, and I have to wait until Jia Yuanchun enters the palace.

However, seeing Li Wan in Rongguo Mansion reminded Jiang Wanyin of important things that she had always forgotten.

Jia Zhu is only one year older than Xue Hong, and she is already married, and her son has not even made an appointment.

People in ancient times paid attention to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers when they got married.

Although she is the wife of the second wife, she has no right to decide the marriage of the children, only the child's aunt has this right.

But Wang Xiuyao and her are enemies, if the son's marriage is handed over to Wang Xiuyao, there is no guarantee that Wang Xiuyao will not marry her son back with a crooked melon and split date, and harm her Hong'er.

As for Xue Yan, Jiang Wanyin did not dare to count on Xue Yan who could choose the daughter of the Wang family as his wife.If Xue Yan married another daughter of the Wang family or the daughter of the so-called four major Jinling families for her son, she would have to cry to death.

But because of her status, she really couldn't come forward, and she didn't have any connections.

How can this be good?

Jiang Wanyin was anxious.

After much deliberation, Jiang Wanyin decided to discuss this matter with her daughter Baoying. Her daughter is the concubine of Prince Kang, so maybe she can get information from her.In addition, Jiang Wanyin also planned to wait for her son to pass the test before asking Iceman to find out about someone with a suitable status in Beijing.

In short, before returning to Jinling, Xue Hong's marriage must be settled, so as not to cause any complications after returning to Jinling.

Maybe Wang Xiuyao was busy and didn't remember it, but if her son returned to Jinling, based on her understanding of Wang Xiuyao, she would definitely have her son's idea.

Before coming here, Jiang Wanyin met Aunt Li, and deliberately provoked Aunt Li to fight for power with Wang Xiuyao.As for the reason, it is naturally because both of them have sons.Jiang Wanyin told Aunt Li that her three sons will all take the imperial examination to become officials in the future, and it is impossible for them to continue to take over the Xue family.

But Aunt Li is different. Aunt Li's son Xue Yu is not a material for studying. If he can't inherit Xue Yan, he will be separated out and live on the aid of the direct branch like other offshoots of the Xue family.Given Wang Xiuyao's hatred for these concubines, I'm afraid there won't be much for Xue Yu.

But the Xue family also has Wang Xiuyao’s son, Xue Pan. As a concubine, it is impossible for Xue Yu to pass Xue Pan and inherit the Xue family. What’s more, Xue Pan has the support of the Wang family and Jia family behind him. Aunt Li’s mother and son want to win the inheritance from Wang Xiuyao’s mother and son Impossible.Unless it was Aunt Li who killed Xue Pan, but Aunt Li obviously didn't have the ability.

Since they couldn't compete for the right to inherit, they could only compete with Wang Xiuyao for the right to housekeeping while Wang Xiuyao was ill, and take advantage of the opportunity to make some money first.Of course, it would be great if Xue Pan could be killed while the housekeeper was in his hands.

This woman will do anything for the sake of her child, and she can think of any vicious and vicious methods.

But what Aunt Li didn't know was that since Xue Pan was born, Xue Yan was worried that Jiang Wanyin and Aunt Li would kill Xue Pan, and had been arranging people to secretly protect Xue Pan.

It was precisely because she knew someone was protecting Xue Pan that Jiang Wanyin instigated Aunt Li to confront Wang Xiuyao's mother and son. Anyway, Aunt Li couldn't kill Xue Pan, and could pester Wang Xiuyao so that Wang Xiuyao would not be too idle to cause trouble, so why not do it.

Putting aside the matter of Wang Xiuyao, Jiang Wanyin continued to think about her son's marriage, after much deliberation, she decided to write a letter to her daughter and ask her to inquire first.Having made up her mind, Jiang Wanyin wrote a letter asking Yuzhi to send it to Prince Kang in person, telling her to hand it over to Bao Ying.
