The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

.Seeing that the emperor was obviously inclined to Jia She's lineage, the people in the court stopped thinking about anything else.However, the concubines in the harem are all watching a good show, and it depends on how the Jia noble who has been very favored recently will deal with himself.

The Rongning Second Mansion has taken root in Beijing for many years. Although Jia Yuanchun is not the girl of the Rongguo Mansion, at least she used to be a girl of the Rongguo Mansion in vain. Now that the two families have divided the mansion, Jia Yuanchun is just a fifth-rank member. The daughter of the family, even with the favor, it is impossible to be promoted again so soon.Besides, the emperor has been busy with dispatching troops to Qianxiang country recently, and rarely stepped into the harem, so Jia Yuanchun's life can be imagined.

"Let's have a cup of tea, my lord." Baoqin brought a cup of Lu'an tea, "The Empress said that I don't need to go to her place to say hello today, so I don't want to lie down and rest for a while, my lord."

"I'm so upset that I can't sleep, and it's useless to lie down." Jia Yuanchun's eyes were black and green, and he knew it was the result of not having a good rest for a long time. "Fortunately, the queen doesn't need us to pay her respects today. Otherwise, I would have to listen to so many sarcastic remarks. Even Ji Changzai, whose position is lower than mine, would dare to ridicule me in front of everyone, let alone other empresses. The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently. If they can’t come here often, they will try to abuse me in different ways.”

Concubine Mao is fine, she has a gentle temper and doesn't like to compete for favor. Concubine Rou and Concubine Xuan are now assisting in palace affairs. Although the quotas they send are not harsh, they are obviously one level lower than before.The charcoal in the palace pays attention to being smokeless and tasteless when it is burned, but the charcoal sent to her Fengzao Palace is not the best, and it still smells musty when burned, which is obviously not a good thing.However, the queen has been shutting herself out recently, and the emperor has not stepped into the harem, so Jia Yuanchun can't do anything even if he wants to sue.

"My lord, don't be angry, they are just jealous of my lord's favor before." Baoqin comforted me, "When the emperor finishes his work in the court, he will naturally come to visit my lord."

"They just saw that the second master could not be promoted in the position of Yuanwailang. Now that the second wife is gone, my connection with the Wang family has also weakened, so they are so unscrupulous." Jia Yuanchun didn't know whether his biological mother really died of a sudden illness or For any other reasons, she has no way of getting to the bottom of it now.The old lady hadn't entered the palace for a long time, and she couldn't find anything out.

"My lord, don't be too sad." After the news of the second wife's death came in, my master also cried bitterly. Part of the reason why I can't sleep at night these days is also because of this.Baoqin saw that Jia Yuanchun's expression was still a little dull, so he continued, "Why don't you go outside, my lord."

"I don't want to move. I'll go out for a walk later, so as not to encounter any weird concubines, who will make me uncomfortable." Jia Yuanchun was wearing a gray-blue dress with no embroidery patterns on it, so she could be considered her. This daughter did a little filial piety to her biological mother.It is not allowed in the palace to blatantly observe filial piety for his family members, Jia Yuanchun can only ask Baoqin to go to the Buddhist hall in the palace to invite a Buddha back, and chant sutras to Wang every day.She bit her lower lip, "Look at An Changxi in the past, and the emperor was made a concubine as soon as he ascended the throne, but how far has he fallen now?"

"An Chang asked for it on her own. If she hadn't ignored the palace rules and was aggressive, how could the emperor treat her like this?" Baoqin said, "The young master has always been docile and gentle. I heard that the empress is the same for you." It’s full of praise, how can you put yourself together with her and say it.”

Jia Yuanchun once went to Luanhe Palace after becoming a nobleman. Seeing An's disheveled and disheveled face, the people around him just looked at him numbly. Her hatred for her has long since seen An Chang in this state. After that, it disappeared.

"My lord!" Another court lady, Huizhu, came in, "Old Madam Jia from Rongguo Mansion is here to see you."

"Please come in quickly!" Jia Yuanchun's somewhat numb face finally showed some brilliance. After asking someone to lure Jia's mother in, he took Baoqin to change into a moon-white dress, redressed, and wiped his face. Her haggard appearance was covered with makeup before she came out to meet Jia Mu.

As soon as the two of them closed their eyes, tears began to overflow from their eye sockets.

"My lord, why did you lose so much weight?" Mother Jia stayed in the Buddhist hall for a long time, and after the turmoil gradually subsided, she handed over the sign and entered the palace to visit her granddaughter who was alone, but she didn't want to see her for more than two months. My own granddaughter is too thin.She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, caring.

"It's nothing, I just don't have much appetite to eat recently." Jia Yuanchun lied slightly.Even though she was raised by Jia's mother, her affection for Wang's is not shallow. Without her biological mother, she would naturally not eat meat, and all she ate was vegetable oil, so during this time, she ate porridge and side dishes. , and naturally lost weight.

Jia Mu knew it in her heart, so she skipped the topic and said: "Now that your father has been separated from the mansion, many people in the palace must embarrass you with this matter. It is also my fault for not knowing people." Qing, that brought your father to this point."

"What does the old lady mean?" Jia Yuanchun thought of the rumors that had been widely circulated in the past, "Could it really be the elder..."

"No!" Mother Jia denied it vehemently, "Speaking of this will only embarrass you, it's better you don't know."

"...The second wife has caused some trouble again." Seeing Jia Mu like this, Jia Yuanchun understood in his heart, "It must be a big deal for the old lady to have to separate the family. No wonder the second wife is separating the family. Not long after..." Speaking of this, there was a bit of complaint in his tone, and he didn't know whether he was blaming his biological mother or something else.

"I know you are struggling in the palace, the emperor probably hasn't come to you for a long time." Mother Jia is not confused, she does not believe that the emperor will not know what happened in Beijing, she is afraid why the Rongguo Mansion is separated The emperor also knew a thing or two.Since the emperor did not pursue the matter and supported his eldest son, Jia's mother should not know it. "I heard that the battle on the front line is raging, and Concubine Wu's father in the court is forcing the emperor to cease fighting. The emperor is too busy now, so bear with it in the harem." Then he took out another purse, "here is Some of the private houses I have accumulated, you can keep them in the palace and manage them."

"The old lady should keep it by herself, I am not short of money here." Jia Yuanchun wanted to refuse.

"I don't have to worry about food and drink in the mansion now, so it's useless to keep it." Jia's mother was serious, "Zheng'er can't go into the harem to see you, I'll take care of everything here. Baoqin is because he knows the seriousness of the matter." Yes, if there is anything that is not enough, just ask Baoqin to send a message to everyone Lai, just ask her to come back and forth."

Jia Yuanchun thought that his father's family did not have a hostess now, so he could only accept the purse from Jia's mother with tears in his eyes.She continued: "Nowadays the concubines in the palace don't like me, if I stay in Fengzao Palace, that's all. If I go out, I will be ridiculed by them. The old lady said, what should I do?"

"Now you are just a nobleman, not yet the head of Fengzao Palace, so they will not take you seriously." Jia Mu said, "Be patient for a while, and the emperor will come to see you when he finishes his political affairs. .Also, the empress is getting older now, and I am afraid that there will be fewer people around me who will serve you wholeheartedly. If you have time, you might as well go to Fengyi Palace more, so that the empress will remember your meekness."

Jia Yuanchun thought about it for a moment, the empress considered her highly in the past, and it was the empress who recommended her to the emperor, the old lady's proposal was reasonable, so she nodded to show that she had listened.

"Did the old lady hand over the sign to enter the palace to meet Mrs. Jia Gui?" Xu Hui looked at the gloomy sky outside, "How long have you been there? Did you bring anyone with you?"

"It should be half an hour now. The time for visiting concubines in the palace is strict, and I'm afraid it's time to come back." Pianran massaged Xu Hui's shoulders that were a little stiff from checking the account books all day, "Old The wife went out with the mandarin duck, housekeeper Lai, and everyone, and they waited on the old lady for a long time, so it must be safe."

"The old lady is concerned about the nobles in the palace, but she also blames the master for 'driving' the second room out of Rongguo Mansion. If the gatekeeper hadn't come to tell me that the old lady had set up a car and left today, I wouldn't have known." Xu Hui snorted. Taking a sip of tea, "The empress closed her door to raise her baby with peace of mind, and she has long since stopped seeing her wives. The emperor has not entered the harem for a long time because of state affairs. I am afraid that the old lady was worried that Mrs. Jia would be bullied, so she went into the palace on purpose."

"It's not the master and wife's fault, the old lady is really eccentric." Pianran said.

"The old lady's eccentricity is not a matter of a day or two. If you talk too much, you can't make up for it." Xu Hui lowered her eyes, "A letter from my in-laws said that they will go to Beijing in a few days, and everything for the Shen family must be done properly." Get ready. Besides, Daiyu’s little girl’s belongings have been packed properly, right? Since the weather is still not too cold, we must send her back to Yangzhou safely.”

Xu Hui was also dizzy with the important event of family separation in the mansion. Fortunately, Jia Wan and Daiyu were very sensible. It just so happened that Jia Min sent a letter saying that her health was almost healed, and her heart was always in a hurry. Remembering Daiyu, I want to take Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou for the New Year.Next year Lin Hai will return to Beijing to report on his work, and then they will come to Beijing together.

"It's all packed." Pianran replied, "Mrs. Xue's family sent someone to send a letter to ask our house to help repair the Xue's house. Today, someone sent a letter."

"The old lady said that I will be responsible for this matter. It's just that the weather is not suitable for starting construction. We can only wait for the spring to bloom." After reading Xue Wang's letter, Xu Hui pretended to put it away, "Xue Find a box to put the banknotes from home
