[Dream of Red Mansions] Immortals of Red Mansions

Huan Yu'er even hated the second girl of the Lin family.What does Yu'er's temperament and appearance don't suit your eyes, are you picking on me every day?Now that their orphans live in the mansion, can we kick them out?That's my grandson, Minmin's daughter!What are your thoughts! "

What Jia Mu said made Mrs. Wang very shameless. Mrs. Wang's face was ashen, but she didn't dare to refute a word, she could only bow her head and say nothing, but her heart was itching with hatred.Sister Feng already regretted not finding an excuse to slip away just now, and now she is going to be tortured like this.Listening to Mother Jia scolding Mrs. Wang, I was very relieved. Although Mrs. Wang is Sister Feng's serious aunt, Mrs. Wang's oppression of Sister Feng these years has already made Sister Feng recognize her face.

"Treat the three children of the Lin family better in the future, and we will have to rely on them to pay for the money for the mother." Mother Jia said with a cold face and drove Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng away.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the weather that had been cloudy for several days cleared up. When the sun shines, it seems that the severe winter is not so cold.Lin Cangyu got up early in the morning, stretched her waist, and after washing up, she sat in the small hall with Lin Daiyu and Lin Xuanyu for breakfast.

"Second Sister, when are we going to move out?" Lin Xuanyu asked, pouted while drinking the hot porridge made with fragrant rice and red dates.

"Soon, my eldest sister wants to dig a pond for the yard to raise fish. It is estimated that it will take about a month to complete after the new year. In addition to the renovation of the house and the replacement of furniture, it will take at least two months." After finishing speaking, Lin Cangyu clamped Put a piece of red bean cake into your mouth.

Lin Daiyu had some feelings for Jia's house. Hearing that Lin Cangyu and Lin Xuanyu wanted to move out quickly, she felt a little uncomfortable: "San'er, you just came to grandma's house, so don't say anything."

Lin Xuanyu glanced at Huan? and Linglong who were guarding the door, and said nonchalantly, "Sister, I feel uncomfortable living here. Everyone in their family looks weird. It's hard for you to stay here for five years."

"San'er! Why did you talk to Eldest Sister?" Lin Cangyu was afraid to tell Lin Daiyu's sad things, so she hurriedly scolded, "Apologize to Eldest Sister, then go back to the room and be silent for ten times!"

Lin Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from her younger siblings, tears fell down her eyes.Lin Cangyu couldn't help but sat beside Lin Daiyu, patted Lin Daiyu's shoulder comfortingly.

"Sister, don't cry. My sister also said that day. Now there are only three siblings left in the Lin family. No one else can kiss us. My sister has a pure and kind heart, and she doesn't want to think of human nature as selfish and evil, but Sister, if you don’t count others, it doesn’t mean that others don’t count you. My sister may not know that during the five years you stayed at your grandmother’s house, every year, my sister would prepare a generous gift for your grandmother, plus 1 taels of silver notes. But those How much money did they spend on their elder sister? Do you think that after the death of their father, grandma and the others never thought about building our family business? It’s not that they didn’t do it, it’s just that they didn’t make it. The shop and real estate at home , without my seal, no one can touch it. As for the valuable property in the family, my younger sister never brought it into my grandmother's house. If you don't believe me, then it's just my younger sister who treats a gentleman with a villain's heart." Lin Cangyu said A little tired, he took a long sip of the cold tea in front of him, and continued, "Nowadays, there is no adult in the family, and there is no influence. If we don't guard ourselves, we won't even give people food. Leftovers? What Weili did yesterday was indeed a bit excessive, but that's the only way to get the effect. In three to five years, it's time to tell my sister about marriage, and it's time to make arrangements for my third son to marry a wife. Let's not seek wealth People, as long as they have a good character and good looks, that’s fine, but if the family has no foundation, the elder sister will be angry with her husband’s family when she marries, and the third son will not be able to lift his head when he marries a daughter-in-law. You are my direct sister, and the third son is my direct relative. Brother, I want you to live a better life, maybe you think what I think is vulgar now, but this is the truth."

Lin Daiyu seemed to be meeting this younger sister for the first time. Before, she knew that this younger sister's thoughts were shocking, but now she realized that she didn't fully see her through.However, Lin Cangyu's heartfelt words still moved Lin Daiyu, and unconsciously cried even harder: "It's my sister's fault, my sister shouldn't doubt you!"

Lin Xuanyu also moved to the side, raised her head and said, "Second Sister, I will not be looked down upon! When I grow up, I will protect you."

Lin Cangyu finally had a smile on his lips. No matter what, the three of them belonged to the Lin family, and the Lin family now only had their siblings.They are the real family.Please recommend for collection~

Chapter 011: Lin Ying Discusses About the Store

The days after the year were pleasant.Lin Xuanyu studied in the room in a regular manner, and occasionally got Lin Cangyu's pardon, so he was able to go out to play for a long time.Sisters Lin Cangyu and Lin Daiyu chat and laugh with a few sisters in their spare time, or do embroidery work in the room, or read books.

On this day, Mother Jia brought Shi Xiangyun to play with several sisters.Lin Daiyu had met Shi Xiangyun several times before, but the relationship between the two was not very good. Shi Xiangyun didn't like Lin Daiyu's sick and lonely appearance, and Lin Daiyu didn't like to stay with her, but Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai had a good relationship.So Xue Baochai set up a banquet and invited a group of sisters to play in her yard. Lin Cangyu excused herself from feeling unwell, and stayed in her room to study opening a shop in the capital to earn some pocket money.

Lin Cangyu originally planned to open the three stores of Caiyunfang, Zanzhuangge, and Ningzhilou to the capital. Later, she considered some of the links, such as recruiting people and raw materials, which could not be completed in a short time. It is not only costly and labor-intensive to transport the items, but also it is always difficult to supply.If the three shops want to develop to the capital, they can only start slowly, so what Lin Cangyu is thinking about now is the industry that can develop rapidly, after much deliberation, finally finalized the catering industry.

After making up her mind, Lin Cangyu changed into her attire and rushed out with Lin Xuanyu in her arms.Lin Xuanyu was quite happy. Being able to go out meant that he could have fun, and he didn't care what the reason was.

After getting out of Jia's mansion smoothly, Lin Cangyu went straight to Prince Zhong'an's mansion.Fortunately, the servants of Prince Zhong'an's Mansion were under strict control. Even though they saw that the visitors were two children, they still went to report to the housekeeper peacefully.This housekeeper is none other than Shen Yao's husband, Shen Feng.Shen Feng heard the return from the servants at the gate, put down what he was doing, and hurried to the gate.

"I'm Shen Feng, the steward of Prince Zhong'an's residence, is this Miss Lin Er?" Shen Feng respectfully said.

Lin Cangyu showed a smile: "Hello, Steward Shen, I'm here to visit the prince of your mansion today. Is it convenient?"

"My lord is in the study, second miss please." Steward Shen personally took Lin Cangyu and brother to Ying Guili's study.Along the way, Lin Cangyu took a few glances at the scenery of Prince Zhong'an's Mansion, and was not only moved in his heart, but it took a lot of energy to build this courtyard, with winding courtyards and winding corridors, which are more grand than the southern gardens, and more delicate than the northern gardens .It is also thanks to him that he can afford to build it. If others are put aside, even if it is built, it may not be able to afford to live in it.

Shen Feng led Lin Cangyu to a courtyard. In the courtyard was a piece of dry and ruined lotus leaves, passing through the lotus pond, it was a main house.Shen Feng first stepped forward to knock on the door, and only went in when he heard the promise from inside.A moment later, Ying Guili was seen rushing out of the room, the pen in his hand was still dripping with ink.

"It's so cold, you let me stand outside?" Lin Cangyu pouted, pretending to be unhappy.

Ying Guili just woke up like a dream, and pulled Lin Cangyu into the room, and said to Shen Feng: "Go and bring some tea, and burn the earth dragon in the house."

Lin Cangyu entered the door, took off her cloak and put it on the screen frame, but seeing Lin Xuanyu's awkward face, she couldn't help being angry and funny: "Sit down obediently today, and I will have fun with you someday." Helping Lin Xuanyu untie the cloak, the three of them sat down as host and guest.

"You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but what's your idea this time?" Ying Guili had a good grasp of Lin Cangyu's temperament.

Lin Cangyu smiled and said: "Return the gift, you gave me such a big gift, how could I accept it without saying a word? Doesn't that mean that Pinbai failed your kindness?"

"Hey! It was you who wanted to see the appearance of the magic weapon at the beginning. I finally found one for you, but you still dislike it. It's really kind of unrewarding." Ying Guili knew that Lin Cangyu was joking. , and followed her words, "But your house, I have ordered people to clean it up according to your ideas. But if you want to dig the pond, you may not be able to dig it so big, you can dig half of it at most, but fortunately you can introduce Go to a pool of running water, and you are not afraid of the pool being dirty. Don’t dislike that house. When I opened my teeth and built a mansion, it was the house that I first set my sights on. But the emperor thought it was too small, so he made me such a big one. Living empty is like a wandering spirit."

Lin Cangyu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, who can pick out the flaws in your eyes? So much money, it can't be wasted, can it?"

This was the first time for Lin Xuanyu to see her second sister's low-browed and pleasing appearance, and she was so frightened that she almost spilled her tea.

"Okay, stop flirting with me." Ying Bili waved his hand, "I don't know you yet? What made you come here before the end of the year."

"Let's cooperate again, how about it?" Lin Cangyu leaned over and said in a low voice, "The split is [-]/[-] this time, but when it comes to your territory, you have to pay more attention."

Ying Guili is also a straightforward person: "Of course, I relied on the second lady a lot before, and now it's time for me to give back. The principal is still five or five, and the second lady is responsible for making ideas, and I can leave everything else to me."

Lin Cangyu nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "There are countless restaurants in Kyoto. We want to open a restaurant. First, we need something attractive and attractive, and second, we need a background. I have one, and you have two. Isn't it a perfect match? After that, Sichuan dishes use a wide range of materials, various flavors, fresh and mellow tastes, and use spicy and spicy food well. Compared with other dishes, the dishes have a wider range of adaptability. While focusing on Sichuan dishes, we will introduce one or two more every other day The special dishes of the farewell place, in addition, the unique soups and desserts are also a big selling point."

"Thinking about it, the second lady should be very fond of Sichuan cuisine. It's not difficult to find a cook who is good at Sichuan cuisine. As for soup and desserts, you need to pay more attention." Ying Guili thought for a while , they should come down.

Lin Cangyu was obviously satisfied with Ying Guili's reaction, and continued: "What we need now is a cook who is good at Shu cuisine; These three points will not trouble you. In terms of shop decoration, it should not be too elegant, it is relatively rough, please ask a famous artist to write the plaque, and make it more delicate. For other details, I will make a list for you once I go back .On the opening day, if you can invite a few distinguished guests to support the scene, that would be great."

"Leave it on me, it's fine." Ying Guili agreed, seeing the smile on Lin Cangyu's face, Ying Guili couldn't help but smile a little bigger, anyway, as long as she was happy.

Lin Xuanyu could see the communication between the two of them clearly, and her mind was as clear as a mirror, and that's what happened in those scriptures.

It was getting late, and it was difficult for Ying Guili to keep anyone, so he personally sent Lin Cangyu and his brother out of the house. When he reached the door, he couldn't help asking, "Why are you working so hard? Actually, I can protect you." Yours."

Although Ying Guili's voice was very low, Lin Cangyu heard it, and turned her head to glance at him with a half-smile: "Why do you think that is? I'm leaving, don't give it away, remember to let me know when the house is ready." " After finishing speaking, he went straight to the carriage arranged by Ying Guili, lowered the curtain, and blocked Ying Guili's helpless eyes.

Suddenly, Ying Guili seemed to have thought of something, walked forward in two steps and raised the curtain to whisper to Lin Cangyu: "On the day of concubine Jia's visit, don't stay in crowded places, don't run around!" Without waiting for Lin Cang Yu asked, and Ying Guili gave the order to set off.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't mention Ying Guili's concealment of identity, because they all felt it was unnecessary.

Chapter 012 Wang Xifeng copied and inspected Rongguo Mansion

When Lin Cangyu and Lin Xuanyu returned to Jia's mansion, they felt a strange atmosphere, and even the little maid felt a little timid.

"Miss, you are back!" Seeing Lin Cangyu entering the courtyard, Xuanji hurriedly said, "Something has happened! The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the little opera singer who lives in Lixiangyuan suddenly started to vomit and diarrhea. Taking medicine doesn't help. The old lady got angry and ordered Lian's second grandma to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"How did this happen?" Lin Cangyu asked with a frown as she changed her clothes. Over there, Ying Guili had just warned herself to be careful on the day of Concubine Jia's visit, so something happened here?How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Xuanji brought hot water over to wash Lin Cangyu's hands, and replied: "It is said that there is a plate of lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake for breakfast. It was originally made for the old lady, but somehow it was sent to Lixiangyuan. The ten or so It’s just that the little opera singers are divided into half yuan each, if this is eaten by the old lady directly, it’s not worth..."

Lin Cangyu glanced over, and Xuanji swallowed the following words obediently.Lin Cangyu took a handkerchief and wiped her hands. Lin Cangyu sat and rested: "In the future, pay more attention to eating and let Yingluo pay more attention. You guys are not allowed to mention this matter again. It may not be that simple in it. Don't get angry. gone."

Lin Cangyu waved her hand to signal them all to go down, sitting alone and thinking.In Jia's mansion, does anyone dare to put food in Jia's mother's food?And it was successful?The majesty of Jia's mother in Jia's mansion is absolutely supreme.Even if some people can't see Jiamu's methods, they don't hate it so much.Thinking over and over again, Lin Cangyu could only connect Concubine Jia's family visit with this matter, and this action was nothing more than a slap in the face of Concubine Jia, or the family of Jia?

That night, Sister Feng ordered people to guard the gates of each courtyard, and no entry or exit was allowed. She personally took Ping'er to check each courtyard one by one.When they arrived at the courtyard where Lin Cangyu's sister and brother lived, Lin Cangyu recalled that when the central government ransacked the Grand View Garden, the cause of that incident was nothing more than some shady things, but now the cause of this incident is much bigger than that.

"Sister Feng, what's the matter with working hard at night?" Lin Cangyu greeted her with a smile.

Sister Feng patted Lin Cangyu's hand: "Sister, don't worry, it's just that something is missing in the house. Although it's not something expensive, it must not be tolerated. Sister, just lie down, I'll take a look and leave. " Then he motioned to the women with strong arms and round waists around him. After receiving Sister Feng's signal, those women went into the inner room and rummaged.

"Sister Feng, just stay here and look around. Eldest sister and San'er both rested early, so don't bother them." Lin Cangyu pulled Sister Feng to sit down, and ordered Huan? to make some hot tea.

Sister Feng was holding the teacup, and a fresh fragrance came to her nostrils, and she couldn't help asking: "This tea is quite fragrant, and it is a little more elegant than other fragrances. What kind of tea is it?"

"My sister stir-fried this when she had nothing to do. I added jasmine petals to the tea leaves to make the tea more delicious. Make a pot for sister Feng today, in case you don't like it." Lin Cangyu also took the teacup and blew on it. The rising heat.

Lin Cangyu and Sister Feng were chatting, when a woman came out from the inner room, holding a small porcelain bottle in her hand.Walking up to Sister Feng and saluting, "Grandma, I found this."

Lin Cangyu drank the tea calmly. Sister Feng took the porcelain bottle, uncorked the bottle, sniffed it lightly, and asked, "What is this? It smells weird."

The woman next to her looked rather embarrassed: "If you go back to the second grandma, it's called Chunsan. It's burned in an incense burner. It smells a little sweeter than ordinary sandalwood. After inhaling it, it will enchant the mind and has some aphrodisiac effects." The next few words, the woman almost whispered into Sister Feng's ear.

Unexpectedly, Lin Cangyu was born with sharp ears, and abruptly squirted out a mouthful of hot tea, Huan? Hurriedly handing over the handkerchief, Lin Cangyu wiped the water stains on her lips, overjoyed: "Sister Feng, to tell you the truth , The bottles of rouge and water powder in my house are more meticulously crafted than this thing. It’s not that I don’t have money at home, so I have to use such low-grade bottles and such low-grade medicine.” Lin Cangyu dismissed this.

Sister Feng was also quite embarrassed, she found such a thing in Lin Cangyu's room, and even she didn't believe it, and she didn't know who did such a nasty thing.

"Sister, don't get angry, I will pay my sister justice." Sister Feng assured her, "It's hard to say, I will reply to my sister when I find out the truth."

But Lin Cangyu refused, if this thing fell into Sister Feng's hands to investigate, would her own reputation be ruined?Even if he didn't care about his reputation, how would Lin Daiyu and Lin Xuanyu behave in the future?Since someone dares to do something on his own head, he must have the awareness to accept revenge.Lin Cangyu bent her lips, and said softly: "Sister Feng, is she joking? I don't want to lose face when my sister checks this out? Since someone is shameless, I can't afford to show face to others. Xuanji..."

After all, Xuanji followed Lin Cangyu since she was a child. Seeing Lin Cangyu's cold eyes, she guessed Lin Cangyu's thoughts, turned around and snatched the porcelain bottle from Sister Feng's hand, and held it tightly in her hand.

"Sister Feng has seen this thing clearly? My sister has always been in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion. This thing must have come in from the outside. I'm afraid my sister won't be able to find out anything. It's better to leave it to my sister to investigate." Lin Cangyu said with a smile, "Xuanji, send me this thing to Prince Zhong'an, and ask Ying Guili to check it out for me. If you can't find out the truth, don't come to see me!" It can be described as fierce.

Sister Feng had never seen Lin Cangyu like this before, and she was stunned for a while, and only after Xuanji had gone out did she wake up, and exclaimed: "What do you want, sister?"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Cangyu glared over: "Sister Feng! Don't think that my Lin family is weak, so I will let you bully me! We will never end this matter!"

Sister Feng thought back to Lin Cangyu's tone of voice when she mentioned Lord Zhong'an just now. The relationship between the two may not be that simple. If it gets out, it will definitely cause a huge disturbance!At this moment, she could only keep Lin Cangyu steady: "Sister, why bother? We are all in the same family, there must be some misunderstanding. Do you believe my sister? My sister will never let you be wronged!"

Lin Cangyu took a sip of tea, and slowly put down the teacup: "Sister Feng, it's not that I'm overhearted, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable in this world, and my sister can't help herself. It can be seen that Sister Feng is also a straightforward person. I will always remember the kindness of our sister and brother. Here is a piece of advice to my sister: Although people die for money, but their lives are gone, what is the use of money?"

These words are resounding.Sister Feng's face turned pale in an instant, she turned around and gave the wives a look, the wives understood and stood guard at the door.

"Sister Xiaolin, what you said has a lot of meaning." Sister Feng said in a low voice.

Lin Cangyu lowered her head and said softly, "The Jia family is about to perish, sister Feng, do you want to bury it with it?"

Regardless of whether it was written by fancy in the previous life, or the situation of the Jia family in the current life, they are all doomed to fail.Just now, Lin Cangyu figured it out, since Ying Guili gave her a reminder, where is the source of this news?Think of nothing but the emperor.And this time concubine Jia visited relatives, and Jia's mother tried to be poisoned. I'm afraid it was the one who was planning to attack Jia's family.Please recommend for collection~

Chapter 013

When Sister Feng left Lin Cangyu's courtyard, her pretty face was pale.The dim light of the lantern shone on Sister Feng's face, reflecting an unpredictable luster.No one knew what Lin Cangyu had said to Sister Feng that day, except for the two parties concerned, but since then, Sister Feng's behavior has changed a lot.Lin Cangyu sent Sister Feng away, closed the courtyard door, yawned, and went back to her room to sleep.In the middle of the night, Xuanji came back with a letter from Ying Guili.After reading the letter, Lin Cangyu smiled unconsciously.

That night, the Rongguo Mansion was full of chaos.Sister Feng used to be ruthless and resolute in her actions, but her attitude in Lin Cangyu's yard that day was considered very kind.Yingchun's yard, Tanchun's yard, Xichun's yard, and Xue's mother and daughter's yard were all searched by her. There was such a big battle, if there were no results, Sister Feng would not be able to hold back.

When Sister Feng searched the courtyard of Xue's mother and daughter, there happened to be a woman eavesdropping outside the door. Sister Feng hurriedly ordered someone to tie up the woman, and after a few boards, the woman howled and beckoned. .The woman was originally a servant who came to Jia's mansion with Aunt Xue's family from her hometown. Xue Baochai ordered her to go out to prepare some medicines a few days ago, perhaps because she was afraid that people would notice something. The prescriptions were quite confusing. I can't tell what disease the prescription is for.Sister Feng instructed Ping'er to go to the woman's residence and search for the prescription. She also asked a young maid who knew medicine to look at the prescription, but she couldn't tell anything about it.

Xue Baochai was sitting on the seat next to her, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, looking uneasy, she opened her mouth several times, but finally said nothing.It was Aunt Xue who sighed several times and rubbed her temples with her hands from time to time.

"Sister Xue doesn't need any medicine, why didn't she come to me? The shops outside don't know what to do, and they are unreliable. We don't have any rare medicines in our house, and they still go out to buy them?" Sister Feng sarcastically said with a half smile.

Xue Baochai forced a smile: "What is Sister Feng talking about? Is it because I am afraid that Sister Feng is busy, and I dare not bother you with these trivial matters."

Sister Feng didn't speak, and drank tea from a teacup with a half-smile.Xue Baochai knew that if she didn't explain this matter clearly today, she might not be able to expose it, but she didn't know how to speak.In the end, it was Aunt Xue who told the truth. Xue Baochai fell in love with Lin Cangyu's white jade bottle that day. Later, she overheard the maid in Lin Cangyu's room talking about the medicine in the white jade bottle, which can relieve pain Because of the effect, I want to try some.Xue Baochai has also done some research on medicine. The Lengxiang pill she took herself is a medicine for conditioning the body, but the effect is not obvious, so she put her mind on Lin Cangyu's medicine.That day, she quietly loosened the cork of the white jade bottle, smelled the smell of the medicine, and could roughly guess how many medicines were in it, but she was a little uncertain, so the names of the medicines seemed confusing when writing the prescription.

"My poor son, I have no other choice!" Aunt Xue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Sister Feng heard the words and said calmly: "Since that's the case, why don't Sister Xue ask Sister Xiaolin? It's not a big deal. Could it be that Sister Xiaolin will be so petty that she won't even give up Zhang's prescription?"

Both Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard the distrust and sarcasm in Sister Feng's words, so they could only lower their heads and wipe their tears secretly.Lin Cangyu is not stingy, but that depends on who it is for.Xue Baochai clearly felt Lin Cangyu's hostility towards her. How could the medicine be contained in such a precious bottle, so how could she casually share the prescription?Why did she bother to look for shame?

If Lin Cangyu had heard this, she might have laughed a lot.The medicine was given to her by Ying Bili, so she knew exactly what it was mixed with.Those things are naturally rare things. Even if Xue Baochai got the prescriptions, it would not be easy for her to spend one-third of her family's production for the prescriptions of those strange medicines.Lin Cangyu remembered that the two most common medicines in that prescription alone: ​​saffron[Note 1] and snow lotus, could make Xue Baochai's brain troubled.

It was already late at night, and Sister Feng was so tired that her waist was sore and her back ached, so she ordered the woman to be locked up, comforted the Xue mother and daughter casually, and then went back holding Ping'er's hand.

Early the next morning, Sister Feng went to Jiamu's house to report to Jiamu.When I arrived at Jiamu's room, I found that Xue's mother and daughter were also present, and their eyes were red and swollen, as if they had just cried.You don't even need to think about it, you must have come here early in the morning to file a complaint.Sure enough, as soon as Sister Feng finished greeting Jia Mu, Jia Mu began to criticize Sister Feng.

"Feng girl, you are usually stable, why are you getting confused when it comes to important matters? Bao girl is not feeling well, and a few medicines are worth your trouble?" Jia Mu said angrily, pounding the table.

Just as Sister Feng was about to refute, she changed her words and said: "It's mine, old lady, don't be angry, I was also in a hurry yesterday. Tomorrow is the day when the imperial concubine visits relatives, so it's inconvenient to make any more fuss. Stability prevails, and it won't be too late after picking up the imperial concubine. I am here to apologize to sister Xue. My sister said something serious yesterday, so don't take it to heart. I saw that there was a flavor of ganoderma lucidum in my sister's prescription yesterday. My sister had a dowry plant back then, and I will take it to my sister later."

Xue Baochai couldn't refute Sister Feng's face in front of Jia Mu, so she had to stand up and salute to thank her.Seeing this, Mother Jia also showed a smile on her face, and said in her mouth: "This is good, sisters should be kind."

This matter seemed to be over like this, but several people knew in their hearts that the other person involved in this matter, Lin Cangyu, hadn't made a statement, so this matter must not be over yet.After seeing off Xue's mother and daughter, Sister Feng approached Jia's mother and whispered about yesterday's situation. Naturally, the conversation with Lin Cangyu was omitted, but the matter of the spring break was clearly explained. .

When Jia's mother heard the words, she was furious: "Sinister! Such a scandal has happened at such a critical moment. Where is the face of the Jia family? How can the noble concubine hold her head up in the palace in the future?"

Naturally, Sister Feng gave some comfort again. Because Jia Mu was thinking about picking up the car tomorrow, she suppressed her anger and asked Sister Feng if everything was in order.

Sister Feng respectfully replied: "Second wife said that everything has been prepared properly, so don't worry about it."

The next day, at the time of the five drums, Jia Mu and other noble ladies all wore heavy makeup according to their ranks.Everywhere in the garden, dragons are danced in the tents, colorful phoenixes are flying in the curtains, gold and silver are shining, jewels are competing for splendor, the incense of lilies is burning on the tripod, and the pistils of Changchun are placed in vases.Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu was waiting outside the gate of Rongfu.The streets and alleys are all tightly blocked by curtains.First, a eunuch came on horseback to report Concubine Jia's itinerary. Everyone heard that it was still early, so they invited Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang to go back to the room first, and leave the affairs of the garden to Sister Feng for the time being.

After waiting thousands and thousands of times, I finally saw Concubine Jia's guard of honor.First, there are pairs of dragon and phoenix switches, pheasant feathers and Kui heads, and gold burners burning royal incense, and then a golden umbrella with seven phoenixes on a crank handle comes over, which is the crown robe and shoes.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, dust whisks and so on.After the teams passed by, eight eunuchs came slowly behind them, carrying a gold-topped golden phoenix-embroidered phoenix.

After entering the room and changing clothes, Concubine Jia came out to browse some of the scenery in the Grand View Garden, wrote a couplet on the plaque, and then entered the palace, accepted the kneeling worship of the people of Rongguo Mansion in the main hall, then left the Grand View Garden and went to Jia Mu's main room.

Chapter 014

In Jiamu's room, Concubine Jia held Jiamu's hand with one hand and Mrs. Wang's hand with the other, and the three of them wept softly.Concubine Jia wiped her tears and forced a smile, "It's hard to go home, so I don't know what to say next time."

After the salute, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Sister Feng and Sanchun all retreated knowingly, leaving time for Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and Concubine Jia to talk about family matters.Without outsiders, the three of them were no longer so restrained, and seemed to be a lot more harmonious.

"Is the empress okay in the palace?" Mrs. Wang finally stopped her tears and asked.

Concubine Jia smiled faintly: "It's all the same whether it's good or not. Back then I was sent to a place where no one could see people, and now I'm in my early years. It's good luck. Mother don't ask any more questions."

Mother Jia understood, and hurriedly stopped Mrs. Wang's mouth: "In the past, it was inconvenient to get news. Your Majesty just needs to ask for anything. After all these years in the palace, your Majesty's body has not moved. I wonder if you have asked the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Grandmother also knew that she had a child the year before last, but she had a miscarriage, and she has been in poor health since then. The empress is not a good person to get along with. Back then, the empress and I had news at almost the same time. How could the empress know?" Allow my child to be born? After all, it was just because I was too low at the time to stop those crooked ways." Concubine Jia sighed sadly, "I have been taking medicine, but after that the trust period is not accurate, and it is easy. Lack of laziness can't be cured at all."

When Jia Mu heard this, she suddenly remembered what Sister Feng told her yesterday about the medicine contained in Lin Cangyu's white jade bottle. If the little maid in the yard told the truth, then the medicine must have something wonderful, and it would be good for the empress too. helpful.Thinking of this, Jia's mother said: "Your Lin's second sister has a bottle of medicine in her room, which is specially used to treat this woman's illness. Why don't you let her share some of it for your mother?"

Concubine Jia's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said, "Grandmother quickly invited the second younger sister of the Lin family over!"

Mother Jia ordered Yuanyang to find Lin Cangyu in person, and whispered again: "Madam, do you know anything about Prince Zhongan? On New Year's Eve, the steward of Prince Zhongan's residence came to give a generous gift to the second girl of the Lin family. It is said that the two are related. Pretty good."

"Lord Zhong'an? I met him once in the imperial study. It was a long time ago. However, Lord Zhong'an is very much loved by the emperor. The emperor and the queen mother also love him very much. If it is not necessary, you must not be with him. Prince Zhongan is against each other. However, our family is destined not to be able to get along with Prince Zhongan. Although I have not reached the point of incompatibility with the queen in the palace, the queen does not want to see me. Prince Zhongan is also the queen's My cousin, with this kind of relationship, our family can't rely on it." When Concubine Jia talked about the queen, she seemed to be gnashing her teeth, and even her voice was a little choked up, "Even if it's for my poor child, grandma can't rely on it." Never..."

Mrs. Wang hugged Concubine Jia's shoulder distressedly and comforted: "Good boy, don't worry, your grandmother won't watch you suffer wronged. The queen is not the queen of the Yuan Dynasty. Although there is a little prince, the emperor didn't express his opinion. It means that her seat is not secure. His Dingyuanhou's Mansion is just a corner of Youzhou, so there is nothing to be afraid of, and our Rongguo Mansion is not vegetarian."

But Mother Jia didn't answer Mrs. Wang's words.Although Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is far away in Youzhou, it is a general with heavy troops in its hands, guarding the north, and the current Rongguo Mansion is an empty shell, what else is left?

At this moment, Yuanyang lifted the curtain and came in to say that Lin Cangyu had arrived.Concubine Jia straightened her appearance, and then announced that Lin Cangyu had come in.

After Lin Cangyu saluted Concubine Jia in a regular manner, she stood sideways again, with her head lowered, as if she was very nervous.

Concubine Jia didn't think much about it, so she said: "Sister, come and sit down. My aunt is married to Gusu, and I haven't had a chance to see my sister, so I have to take a good look at this." After finishing speaking, she took Lin Cangyu to sit Beside me, "Looking at her appearance, she is really handsome. The three younger sisters in our family are all inferior."

Lin Cangyu smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, I'm too proud of you."

"I heard that my sister has a bottle of medicine, which is specially used to treat women's chronic diseases. How effective is it?" Concubine Jia asked impatiently, knowing that she didn't have much time.

Lin Cangyu knew early in the morning that it was no good for Jia Mu to send someone to find her, so she replied with a smile: "There is such a bottle of medicine, but it is just a gift from an old friend. I don't know what other effects it has. How about it?" I wrote the prescription, and the empress should go to the imperial doctor to study it before reading it?"

Concubine Jia nodded in agreement, thinking that if she had a prescription, why not be afraid of not being able to make it.After waiting for a while, Lin Cangyu blew on the wet rice paper and handed it to Concubine Jia.Concubine Jia only scanned the name of the medicine on the first line, and her complexion changed. After reading the prescription, her complexion was already blue and white.

Lin Cangyu held back her laughter and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Ma'am, what's wrong?" She was overjoyed in her heart, and if you insist on getting hit, don't blame me for being unkind.

"Sister's prescription is real? Is that medicine still available?"
