[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Regarding Xining Palace also sent people to monitor the General's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang was angry and funny. Next time the nurse of Princess Xining came again, she would learn that Mrs. Zhang had a relapse and was unable to get out of bed and see no guests.

Unexpectedly, this did not reduce the number of people watching outside the general's mansion, because the next day the concubine's nanny came to the general's mansion again with a large amount of tonic.Mrs. Zhang was so disgusted, she had to set fire to the person who was monitoring the general's mansion in the Xining Palace, and immediately exposed him to other monitoring people.

A good person squats in the corner and burns his clothes. Those who are interested have to find out the origin of this person, and then the Xining Palace has become the laughing stock in Beijing: Doesn’t your princess have a good relationship with the head of the house? Why don't people enter the general's mansion if they have something to do, but squat in a corner instead?

Oh, I see, you are not here to visit a sick person or have something to do, are you monitoring the General's Mansion?It's okay to watch other people's homes, but what's the matter with watching them while talking about making good friends with them?Are you thinking of increasing intimacy or are you worried?The rumors of good relations between the two governments are self-defeating.

After Xining Palace replaced a batch of porcelain, Concubine Zhen summoned Mrs. Zhang again. This time her attitude was somewhat alienated, but she just explained to Mrs. Zhang that the person who was exposed was not from Xining Palace, but was planted and framed by others. Mrs. Zhang has a good relationship with Princess Xining.

Mrs. Zhang looked compelled: "My concubine and I are just communicating with women, and what we are talking about is gouache jewelry, and it is not a confidential matter. The concubine is afraid that I will leak it to others, so she sends someone to watch me and say it to you." Whoever can't hear it, that person will naturally not be from the Xining Palace. Madam, don't worry, the minister's wife is clear in her heart."

Concubine Zhen seemed to have eaten a fly, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted Mrs. Zhang to continue to have a good relationship with Princess Xining.

Concubine Zhen could not say what she could not say, but the eldest prince found an opportunity: the palace chief Shi personally went to the gate of the general's mansion, and invited Jia Amnesty to attend the eldest prince's treasure appraisal meeting.For this reason, Mrs. Zhang couldn't find a second language to describe it except for a capitalized word.

That night, Jia Amnesty brought a girl rewarded by the eldest prince back to the mansion.At that time, Jia Amnesty was already drunk, and after ordering someone to show the girl to Mrs. Zhang, she went straight to sleep in the study outside.

Mrs. Zhang didn't feel any pressure on this beauty from the palace, and she didn't treat her preferentially because she was born in the prince's palace. She didn't even see her, so she told Zhang Chang's family to send her to the small courtyard.

The next day, after Jia She woke up, Qin Zhu reminded him of what happened last night, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care about washing up, so he went to Rongxi Hall and told Mrs. Zhang how he was so beautiful yesterday—— The Appreciation Club in the Prince's Mansion was served by girls, and that girl looked a little like Mrs. Zhang, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but take a second look, who knew that the eldest prince just opened her mouth and sent her off to him.

This is also the reason why Jia Amnesty asked someone to bring the girl to Mrs. Zhang when he came back yesterday - Mrs. Zhang told him more than once that it is fine to take any girl in the mansion, but it is not allowed to accept beauties given by others.Jia Amnesty never forgot his wife's confession, and wanted to ask his wife to make up her mind after accepting the beauty yesterday.

Mrs. Zhang felt so angry when she heard this, the eldest prince should never have thought of such a nasty idea.With a plan in mind, he directly asked Jia Amnesty to hand over the sign to meet the saint, or brought the girl to meet the saint.

The reason is so simple, that is, Jia She misbehaved after drinking, and found that a girl in the eldest prince's mansion looked a bit like his own wife, so he couldn't help but take a second look.As a result, the eldest prince misunderstood Xiao Xiang as a maid in the prince's mansion, so he had no choice but to give the person to him.Now that I am sober, I realize that I have broken the etiquette and order of being a minister, which is really too sinful.But his behavior was too unbearable, and he was too embarrassed to apologize to the eldest prince, so he could only ask the sage to deal with him.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty didn't understand, Mrs. Zhang didn't explain to him, she just told him to hurry up so that no one could preempt him - the emperor even watched the general's mansion, how could he let his eldest son go?Jia She went to the First Prince's Mansion last night and brought a beauty back home, the Emperor might have known about it long ago.

Now that he's already suspicious, let's confirm his suspicions.

After the anxious Jia She walked around the palace, the girl who was brought into the palace was left behind, and was punished with a one-year fine.The eldest prince was called into the palace by the emperor after Jia Amnesty left the palace. Not only was he rewarded with ten boards, but he was also rewarded with an exceptional concubine.

Jingli suddenly became quiet, and the prince seemed to use this to win back the city.But Mrs. Zhang knew, it just seemed, because the more frequent those nobles came and went to Ningguo Mansion, the more explicit their words were, the faster the prince would lose power.

The reason why the emperor dealt with the eldest prince was to strike a balance among his sons. He would beat the one who was more powerful, and he would give a hand to whoever was more powerful.Some time ago, the crown prince was weak, and the maid Jia She brought into the palace gave the emperor an excuse to beat the eldest prince.

This made Mrs. Zhang have to suspect that in Jia Min's life, the eldest prince and the prince suddenly appeared to be making trouble at the same time, but the emperor felt that the two sons of Xingda were too powerful and he might not be able to suppress them, so he simply dealt with them together.

Soon, the words of Jia Zhen and others in Ningguo Mansion confirmed Mrs. Zhang's guess.

For the Ningguo Mansion where there is a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days, it seems to be an ordinary banquet, but the number of people who come is a little less than before, and the titles of those who come are a little higher than before.

Mrs. Zhang keenly noticed the difference, and her soul power never left the banquet.

Seeing that Jia Zhen was the first to toast and invited everyone to drink, the expressions of everyone at the banquet were not much relaxed.Jia Zhen also saw that everyone's complexion was a little heavy, and said with a smile:

"Everyone, don't worry about the prince's use of silver. Seeing that the eldest prince has annoyed the sage and was punished by the sage, he has lost the hearts of the courtiers. The crown prince's enthronement is just around the corner. When the crown prince ascends the throne, everyone has the merits of a dragon. The ancestral title is right in front of you. Compared with the hereditary title, a little silver is nothing, and you should be happy."

It turned out that the purpose of this banquet was that the crown prince was short of money and needed these people to be happy to lose.Mrs. Zhang concluded that the crown prince must have raised private soldiers, and those private soldiers will be used in the near future, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to need money - if he wants people to follow him to seek the throne, he must use money to boost morale first.

Those who went to the banquet obviously thought of this, and asked Jia Zhen: "Did the eldest prince get it just now? The sage will trust the great prince even more. It's time for His Royal Highness to behave well. Why..." Risk rebellion?

Jia Zhen shook her head: "Everyone, have you forgotten that His Highness the Crown Prince was expelled from the East Palace by the saint. For the crown prince who does not live in the East Palace, it is not a matter of the saint's word whether to abolish or establish him."

The banqueters were a little confused. Didn't he apply to the emperor himself for the crown prince to leave the East Palace? Why is it said that the emperor kicked him out now?Jia Zhen made a profound statement: "The deep palace is not easy to live in, and the prince, a motherless child, will suffer a great loss." The words are so reasonable that everyone present can't help but nod.

"If the sage really thinks of the Empress Dowager, how can the people in the palace spread rumors about the prince? If the rumors are confirmed, the prince's reputation will be ruined, and the sage will not stop him from abolishing the crown prince." Jia Zhen Strike while the iron is hot: "That's why the prince has to invite himself out of the palace to build a mansion. If the prince has an accident, my in-law will definitely have an accident. Even if you are so close to me, even the sage will not let me go."

What they said made everyone bow their heads. They not only had close contacts with Jia Zhen, but also worked for the prince several times through Jia Zhen's hands.It's just that some people asked: "I'm afraid there are not many soldiers in the prince's hands?"

Jia Zhen smiled slightly: "Everyone, don't forget that the prince only brought his own people from the East Palace with him when he left the palace."

Those people smiled, and Mrs. Zhang curled her lips: With such a pig teammate like Jia Zhen, it would be strange for the prince to rebel against him. How can he guarantee that there is no eldest prince or emperor among the people who came to the banquet?

That is to say, everyone thinks that big things can be achieved, and everyone loses a lot of money.The topic also became more relaxed, and some people started talking about how the First Prince stole chickens from Jia She, but it was not worth the money.

Jia Zhen smiled proudly at the man and said: "This is also a proof that the prince will be blessed by heaven and will surely win the high position. It is just an idle game that was laid out early. Who knows that there will be some shadows of General Jia's wife when it grows up. Since the eldest prince wants to Winning over Jia Amnesty, the first prince must know such news."

"Could it be possible?" The one who started just now asked again: "You told the prince that the girl looks like General Jia's wife? I said, the eldest prince has never met General Jia's wife, why did he just find such a girl to come out?" .”

"Haha," someone next to him laughed a bit lewdly: "I just don't know if Jia She and the girl have had a good time together, and if the eldest prince picked up Jia She's broken shoes."

Someone at the side followed: "I heard that Jia She's daughter-in-law was also famous for being both talented and beautiful before she got married. Maybe the eldest prince..."

Mrs. Zhang was so angry when she heard this, how can the dogs dare to talk about themselves like this?It just so happens that these people's money is still in the mouth, so it's better to put a block on the prince directly, without the money, let's see what he will use to rebel!

Do it as soon as you think of it, burn it from the outside of the banquet hall first, and push it in bit by bit. Seeing the fear and despair on the faces of those bastards, Mrs. Zhang felt better.

At this time, the Ningguo Mansion was in chaos, and the servants came to put out the fire with basins and buckets.But how can these people easily save the fire that Mrs. Zhang let out?I watched helplessly as the fire became more and more fierce, and the howling voice inside became weaker and weaker, until finally there was nothing.

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang found a figure standing there, who was obviously different from the servant who was still making the last effort.Upon closer inspection, it was the person who had been asking about Jia Zhen's girl.Mrs. Zhang was only angry just now, but she really didn't realize when this person left the banquet hall.

But it's good to leave one person alone, otherwise the fire in the Ningguo Mansion would not be pinned on anyone's head.

"Master Niu, how did you escape? Where's my uncle?" The servants of Ningguo Mansion also found the man, and seeing that he was neatly dressed, they couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Niu Jiye, the first general of the Zhen Guogong Mansion!Mrs. Zhang remembered this person's name.It's just when did he come out of the banquet hall, and why did he come out?

Niu Jiye was really lucky. He heard that the eldest prince saw that the angry saint was designed by the prince, so he wanted to find the eldest prince's eyeliner in Ningguo Mansion, so that people could send the news back to the First Prince's mansion quickly, so that the eldest prince would think about it earlier. Countermeasures.Who would have thought that before the eyeliner was found, the banquet hall caught fire, and no one escaped.

No, I ran out by myself, and I was the only one who ran out, without any trace of smoke or fire on my body.Niu Jiye is not well.

"I drank two more glasses and wanted to go to the east toilet to change. I didn't want to catch fire when I got out." Niu Jiye thought of a reason for himself.

Unexpectedly, the subordinate who asked him looked at him more suspiciously: "Master Niu, you didn't come to the banquet once or twice, and there is a clean room in the banquet hall."

Niu Jiye was stunned, this is something that Jia Zhen can only do, and he also knew that what he said was classified as a secret, so in order to prevent someone from secretly passing on the news, he simply set up a clean room in the corner of the banquet hall—— Anyway, the clean room has never been used by anyone, so it won't affect everyone's mood.

But those who have been to Ningguo Mansion several times should know the existence of that clean room.Niu Jiye waved his hand and said, "I told you that I drank two more glasses, and I didn't think about the cleaning room for a while."

The reason is very plausible, but people can’t believe it or not—the ones who were burned were all heavyweights Jia Zhen recruited for the prince, and today they are still talking about the happy loss, but they just burned like this No more, even if you think about it, the prince will never give up.

Mrs. Zhang noticed that Niu Jiye's eyes were wandering, and she was obviously a little guilty. Remembering that he had been circling around the matter of the eldest prince's punishment just now, she had a clue in her heart, withdrew her soul power, and waited for tomorrow to see a dog bite a dog.

The Crown Prince's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion were brightly lit all night.In the early morning of the second day, someone reported to the emperor that Jia Zhen and others were burned to death together after drinking together—although those people all had titles, they couldn’t hold up their titles, and most of them were after the founders of the country. There are more or less veterans in the army, and if one is not handled well, it will cause uneasiness in the army.

So someone suggested that Niu Jiye, the only survivor of the fire, should be called to ask about the situation at that time.That being said, everyone who heard it understood that Niu Jiye himself was suspected of arson.

The emperor naturally agreed to this suggestion, and asked Jin Yiwei to interrogate Niu Jiye.So on the night when Niu Jiye was taken away by Jin Yiwei, the emperor who learned the result of the interrogation also heard the news that the eldest prince and the crown prince "cooperated" again and wanted to rebel against himself, the emperor.

The result was no different, even though the deputy governor of the Beijing camp was no longer Wang Ziteng, he still fought back against the eldest prince at the critical moment, allowing the emperor to easily win the victory.In addition to some families in Beijing being attacked by rebellious soldiers, the rebellion between the eldest prince and the prince was suppressed by the emperor again, and the treatment of the two people was similar to that of Jia Minna:

The eldest prince's heart for chaos is very serious, the whole family is expelled from the clan, and all the males will be beheaded.The prince is still bewitched by others, abolished the crown prince, named Prince Yizhong, and closed Zhengjiazhuang by the whole government.

According to Niu Jiye's confession, those nobles who were burned to death together with Jia Zhen were all part of the prince's party.

Regarding the result of this disposition, Mrs. Zhang only scolded the emperor in her heart for being unprogressive and uninspired, and she put down her focus on dealing with her own affairs—when the Ningguo Mansion collapsed, those who chose to follow the Jia family of the Ningguo Mansion when they divided their clans all surrounded I came to the General's Mansion, hoping to reunite with the Jia family of the General's Mansion.

In the past few years, Jia Amnesty has been used to the state of the world, and he has no good impression of these people, so he is unwilling to have more blood-sucking insects to suck up the money he left Jia Lian, no matter who asks to see him, he will not see him.

Those people still wanted to ask Mother Jia, but now Mother Jia didn't listen to anything other than being picky about food, so they had to let it go.Seeing that they could not join the clan with the General's Mansion, those people took advantage of Mrs. Dou and Youshi, saying that Jia Rong was too young to be the head of the clan, and they wanted to redistribute the family's sacrificial fields.

It was Jia Jing who got the news, he didn't care about cultivating immortals and not being contaminated by common customs, so he hurried back to Ningguo Mansion to take charge of the overall situation, separated from those who persecuted Madam Dou again, and then took Madam Dou, You Shi and Jia Rong to support Jia Zhen's body The coffin returned to Jinling.

Since then, Mrs. Zhang has never heard from Ningguo Mansion, and she has never been asked again—except for Jia Zhen, who committed suicide, the rest of Ningguo Mansion did not have any deep hatred with Mrs. Zhang, and she will not kill them all.

Fortunately, after the power of the eldest prince and the crown prince was removed by the emperor, the court was able to remain quiet for a few years on the surface, and Mrs. Zhang continued to enjoy her peaceful life.The trouble is not without it, that is Mrs. Zhang, who has used the repair fluid, and her metabolism is very slow. Jia Lian is already 14 years old, and she still looks like she is in her early twenties.

The harm this caused to other women was a bit greater, so that Mrs. Zhang almost did not go out to socialize much like Jia Amnesty except for palace banquets.But the comparison in the mansion is also obvious, Jia She has no important things to come to Rongxi Hall now - sitting with Madam, Jia She always feels that he can be Madam's father.

But it is impossible not to come to Rongxi Hall at all. Jia She coughed twice, looked at the teacup in front of him, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Madam, Lian'er is 14 years old. It’s not for him to look at each other.”

Mrs. Zhang got a headache when she heard this: "Did someone mention Lian'er's marriage to the master?"

Jia She nodded naturally, "Princess Xining has a niece who is about the same age as Lian'er."

A girl from the Zhen family?Mrs. Zhang can veto it without even inquiring about her character: "The Zhen family is the fourth prince's natal family. Besides, hasn't the Zhen family always been relatives with our family? This generation is inappropriate."

Can you find a less perfunctory reason?Jia Amnesty had no choice but to take a look at Mrs. Zhang, the relatives of the people in the capital are trapping their relatives, no matter how old they are, they don't need to marry.

Mrs. Zhang has been used to making decisions on her own these years, and she is very immune to Jia She's complaints: "Or does the master think that after marrying the Zhen family, people can not be misunderstood?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head quickly: "So I came to discuss with Madam, see if there is a suitable candidate for Madam? If it is really difficult, Sister Min's eldest daughter is also the right age for Lian'er."

That's right, what Jia Min conceived before going to Yangzhou was not a boy, but a daughter.But now Jia Min has given birth to two sons in Yangzhou one after another, and is already the mother of three children.The eldest daughter is now 11 years old, three years younger than Jia Lian, and in this era, she can be regarded as well-known.

But how could Mrs. Zhang watch the marriage of close relatives become a reality in front of her eyes?Shaking his head faster than Jia She: "No way."

Jia Amnesty was stunned: "I think you get along very well with sister Min." Don't you correspond every month?

Mrs. Zhang is not guilty: "I get along well with Sister Min," or how could I know Jia Min's situation in Yangzhou, and promptly sent her ginseng Yangrong pills with repairing liquid: "But Lian'er and Feiyu Not suitable."

Jia Amnesty wanted to ask what was inappropriate, so Mrs. Zhang took out her experience of fooling Jia Amnesty over the past few years, and told him that she and Jia Min got along very well, but if they became in-laws, they would each work for the interests of the children. All kinds of conflicts were caused, and even relatives were not allowed to do it when it was the most serious.

Examples are the General's Mansion and the Wang Family.Moreover, according to Mrs. Zhang, now that Jia Amnesty has no real power, even if Jia Lian wins a Jinshi, it will not be easy at the beginning of the officialdom. If Jia and Lin can't be relatives, they will end up like the Wang family. , it must be the General's Mansion, not the Lin Family.

Jia She then remembered that Wang Ziteng had been wasted for more than ten years, and now the Wang family let Wang Zisheng, who had returned to Beijing, have the final say. No more closeness.

Ji Lingling shuddered, Jia She felt that what Madam said was reasonable, he had better not be in-laws with Lin Ruhai - he knew that his ability could not compete with Lin Ruhai, a close minister of the emperor.

"But Jia Zhu is about to get engaged." Jia She complained to Mrs. Zhang with some dissatisfaction.

It turned out that not only the Zhen family, but even Jia Zheng came to provoke Jia Amnesty, no wonder he was so anxious.In the past few years, Mrs. Zhang didn't even bother to pay attention to Jia Zheng's first room. When she suddenly heard Jia She's mention, she was a little surprised: "Jia Zhu is engaged? Which family is it?"

In the end, Jia Zheng went to the Ministry of Industry to be the head of the emperor's reward, but five or six years had passed since leaving Xiaodu when he took office. In addition, the story of Mrs. Wang and the Wang family was well known, and it was another seven or eight years. Jia Zheng is still in charge of the sixth grade, such a family, I'm afraid they can't decide on a good relationship, right?

"It's Wang Xifeng, Wang's nephew." Jia She was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would not be impressed: "Wang Zisheng's daughter, the one who almost drowned when she came to our mansion that year."

As for Wang Xifeng, why would Jia Amnesty explain to Mrs. Zhang?However, Mrs. Zhang still cooperated to put away the doubts on her face, and said with a smile: "No wonder the master wants to get married with Sister Min. In fact, I have to say that this relative is enough. One more layer is not enough to get married. If you don’t do well, you will become enemies.”

Jia Amnesty nodded in agreement, and went back to his study to write his Jinshijian.Mrs. Zhang asked people to quietly inquire about girls of the right age in Beijing.

It's just that the General's Mansion still bears the name of Wu Xun's family, and there is no intersection in Qingliu. There are only one or two families who look at Zhang Laodi's face and have some contacts with the General's Mansion on New Year's Day. Even the communication will be cut off.

On Xungui's side, because of the bad things of the eldest prince and the prince, a large number of Xungui's families were unlucky, and there were not many girls of the right age for those families who still kept their property.There are some people here who want to marry the general's mansion, but Mrs. Zhang thinks about the ending of the nobles in the original book, and thinks that it is better not to choose Jia Lian's wife here.
