Queen's Road in the Red House

Yuanyang poured a bowl of milk with sharp hands.

At this time, the milk is unprocessed and has a slightly fishy smell, so in addition to making snacks, these ladies and ladies seldom drink it directly, and feel a little hard to swallow.

Zhou Xuanwei and Yuanyang caught two cooks and studied ginger juice and milk together. The treatment did not have a fishy smell but a sweet fragrance.

"Old lady, let's drink a bowl. In our words, it's full of protein. Drinking it is good for your body and can help you sleep. Miss Lin also drinks it every night now."

Jia Min took it and nodded: "Ginger can also warm the stomach, not bad."

Yuanyang smiled, revealing a small dimple: "Don't worry, old lady, Zhou Huangwei's medical skills are not as good as the imperial doctor's orders in the palace, but they are much better than ordinary doctors."

The main thing is to stand on the shoulders of giants and see the essence of traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years.

Jia Min suddenly heard about Jia Yuanchun, and he became very interested and had a lively conversation.

"Yuanyang, I have told you two or three times, telling you to marry at a good age, but you always refuse. You told me last time that you don't like the rules here, and you are all a man over there. You can only marry one woman, and you can’t even take concubines?”

Yuanyang thought: There are scumbags everywhere, even if you can't take a concubine, you can cheat.But it was too complicated to explain to the ancients, so she nodded.

"Yes, in our place, women can also have their own careers, and even become officials. So you really don't have to worry about me anymore. Besides, there are many women in our place who get married in their [-]s and [-]s, and even in their early twenties. It’s okay to marry early.”

Jia Min took care of his own outlook on life and felt a little envious.

That's right, the best life for women here is to marry a capable husband and get a royal order.However, it is necessary to settle the concubine's room, educate the concubine's children, and live a real, or superficial, virtuous and virtuous life, otherwise it will be criticized by thousands of people.Slowly, they changed from lively girls to wives and wives with uniform appearance.

Thinking of this, Jia Min's heart suddenly moved.

She looked at the mandarin duck: "What do you think of Jian Anbo? Is his mind still that of your men?"

Yuanyang was startled, then realized and said in surprise: "You want to promise Miss Lin to Jian Anbo?" Then he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will never go out and talk nonsense."

Jamin sighed.

"Yu'er's temper is a bit lofty and too smart. I'm afraid she won't be able to stand these calculations in an ordinary wealthy family."

"The population of Jian'anbo Mansion is simple, there are no parents-in-law, no uncles and sisters-in-law, which saves a lot of trouble."

Moreover, Fan Yunyi himself is also the prince's companion, and the day when the fourth prince ascends the throne in the future, he will have a prosperous day.

Even if the fourth prince falls accidentally, based on the loyalty of the Fan family and the death of the whole family, no matter who is the emperor, as long as Fan Yunyi does not rebel, he will not be exterminated, otherwise the court's reputation will be too bad.

That being the case, there is a peace.

Yuanyang thought about it carefully: It seems to be really good.

She raised her head: "Jian Anbo's character, although the slaves don't have much contact with them, they feel reliable. You also know that although they are both traversers, everyone has different identities. A commoner girl like Zhou Huangwei, and a slave like me Status, in fact, is almost useless to them. However, Jian Amber treats them equally, and never reveals the meaning of contempt. Whatever we ask for, he will do his best. Although he doesn't talk much, he can see the old-fashioned heart inside .”

Jia Min couldn't help nodding, feeling even more satisfied: "The most important thing is honesty."

Otherwise, if the Jia family is in ruins in the future, if the husband is snobbish and ruthless, wouldn't he want to embarrass his daughter.

Yuanyang continued: "I have seen Lord Fan a lot, but His Royal Highness has only met once, and that was by chance in Fan's residence. In my opinion, the two are really close friends, and there is no estrangement at all. On the day the Fourth Highness ascends the throne, Lord Fan must be an important minister of the country."

Jia Min smiled: "Actually, power is nothing more than character. By the way, what does Jian'anbo look like?"

There was always a knot between Daiyu and Baoyu in her heart, and she felt that Jia Baoyu was born well and had an advantage.

So subconsciously, she didn't want her daughter to marry an ugly man, so as not to blame herself.

Yuanyang smiled: "Jian Anbo really deserves to be a military general. He is tall and leggy, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes. He is very masculine, but his face is a little square. He speaks and acts like him, square and square."

Speaking of this, Yuanyang recalled the glimpse of Xin Hongcheng that day, and couldn't help saying: "Old lady, let's say something rebellious in private. In fact, Miss Lin's appearance, matching Mrs. Fan, is like a hibiscus planted in a In the rough quiver, I always feel that it doesn't fit well. On the contrary, the appearance of the fourth prince is as handsome as jade. If you stand with Miss Lin, it's like a lotus inserted in your beloved white jade flower cup. It's really beautiful."

Jia Min knew that Yuanyang was a bit unguarded when he spoke in private, so he didn't think it was disobedient, so he just waved his hands: "The fourth prince is a legitimate son, and he will probably be a prince in the future. His status is too high. Even if you put aside your status, you can only talk about the abyss-like place like the Royal Palace." , I don’t want Yu’er to go in.”

Yuanyang nodded obediently.

"I'll ask Zhou Huangwei for you tomorrow. After all, I'm working in the mansion, and I didn't dare to go out all the time before. It's not as comfortable as Zhou Huangwei. I heard that she used to go to Master Fan to ask for various medicinal materials. She must be more familiar with me than me." .”

It was about her daughter, Jia Min felt that it was not enough, so she nodded naturally.

Yuanyang looked at the sky outside, and simply got up: "Old lady, ask Amber to serve you to rest. Zhou Yuwei is used to staying up all night, so I must go to her right away. Guess Miss Lin is also resting, we happened to Speaking of which, she won't be free during the day."

--

Zhou Huangwei held a small scale in her hand, and while weighing the medicinal materials in front of her, she listened to the mandarin duck talking, and after she understood what the mandarin duck meant, she couldn't help shaking her hands.

"Why did the old lady suddenly think of Jian Amber?"

Zhou Huangwei thought to herself: The life of the president is so hard, he has repeatedly committed stupidity in front of the girl he wants to chase, and now even the "mother-in-law" has his eyes on others.

If Daiyu really married Jian Anbo, what kind of plot is this about a crush who turns into a sister-in-law?

Zhou Xuanwei quickly pulled her thoughts back from forbidden love.

Yuanyang snapped her fingers: "Jian Anbo is pretty good. What is it called? There is a car, a house, no parents, no mother."

Zhou Huangwei held his forehead, hesitating endlessly.

Indeed, it sounds much more comfortable than Daiyu entering the palace and facing the group of wolves and tigers.

but……

Zhou Huangwei thought of Xin Hongcheng's intention to give pets and paintings.

It's really embarrassing.

Yuanyang became strange: "I just asked you about Jian Anbo, what's wrong with you? Is there something unspeakable?"

Zhou Xuanwei nodded subconsciously.

Yuanyang's face turned pale: "Ah, he likes men?"

Zhou Xuanwei shook her head quickly.

Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhou Huangwei's tangled face, and his heart moved: "You can't be, you can't see him!"

Zhou Xuanwei:? ? ?

Seeing that Zhou Huangwei didn't nod or shake her head, the mandarin duck became anxious. As soon as she got up, the silver thread of the pistil on the twisted silk peony hairpin on her head trembled non-stop.

"Xuan Wei, this is not our side, as long as a man and a woman are in love with each other, it's all about family background! There is only one old lady in the Jian'anbo Mansion, and she will never allow you to enter the house as a legal wife before she dies, and you must give it to Master Fan Marry a daughter of a famous family. Then what are you, do you want to be a concubine? Didn’t we all say it at the beginning, even if you can’t help yourself, you will not be a concubine when you die!”

Zhou Xuanwei: Wait, I'm not, I don't.

Yuanyang sat down again, took her hand and said earnestly: "The old lady is our own now. She has returned the deed of sale to me and gave me a lot of property. After you accompany Miss Lin for a few years, you will definitely There is also a lot of money in our pockets. At that time, we will be far away, and we will not be able to go anywhere."

"Didn't we already say, find a small town in the south to settle down, you open a medical clinic to practice medicine, and I open a dim sum shop. We have a backer, and no one dares to bully us. Wouldn't it be happy every day? Okay? Maybe in the future we will also look at our husband-in-law, whether it is a scholar who is studying, or a shopkeeper in the neighborhood, even if it is just a boy, that is our own choice, and we want to live a good life!"

"Xuan Wei, don't be confused for a moment, you really entered Jian'anbo mansion!"

Zhou Xuanwei finally interjected: "I promise, I have absolutely no such intention."

Yuanyang stopped abruptly: "Then why are you so entangled?"

Zhou Huangwei sighed: "I think of Mr. Fan's personality. It's a bit confusing. Burning the qin and cooking the crane can definitely do it. Even in ordinary conversation, you ask and say something, which can be said to be extremely boring. Lin With the girl's temperament, if she starts to quarrel, I'm afraid the girl has fainted from crying, Master Fan doesn't know what's going on, so she patted her clothes and went to work."

mandarin duck:……

Zhou Xuanwei secretly poked and probed: "What do you think of the Fourth Highness?"

Yuanyang's eyes lit up immediately: "It's beautiful! If Miss Lin stands with His Highness the Fourth Highness, a picture will appear in front of my eyes."

Zhou Xuanwei handed her a handkerchief: "Wipe the corners of your mouth."

Yuanyang spread his hands: "It's a pity, our president's identity is there. In the future, it will not be a matter of wives and concubines, but Sangong Sixth Court. There will be 36 years of unseen people!"

Zhou Xuanwei sighed: "Yes."

The two sighed at each other, Yuanyang asked some more about Fan Yunyi, and shared with her the gossip about Yuan Chun's deportation before leaving.

Zhou Xuanwei sat alone under the lamp and struggled for a while.

Final decision: President, I will give you some information about your mother-in-law for the last time, and for the rest, you can work hard on your own.

Come on!

--

On this day, it was Jia Zheng's birthday, and people from both Ning and Rong's offices gathered to celebrate, it was very lively.It's just that under the excitement, everyone has their own thoughts.

Jia Amnesty stroked his beard, held a glass of wine to respect Jia Zheng, and hid his knife in his smile: "Second brother, which one of our brothers is with whom, even though you move out, the eldest brother is still willing to lend you this flower hall for your birthday!"

These days, Jia Zheng didn't suffer any internal injuries, so he could only say, "Thank you, brother."

Then the good news that I was more eager for Yuanchun came earlier.

It stands to reason that it has been more than half a month, what is going on?

Just as he was thinking, a gatekeeper hurried in and reported to the banquet: "There is an order from Master Xia, the eunuch of Liugongdu."

Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was overjoyed and said in unison: "Please come in quickly."

Jia She gave him a sideways look: "What is the second brother doing, the imperial edict naturally asks me to pick it up."

He is the first-class general who attacked the noble.

Jia Zheng gained confidence unconsciously, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't blame me, I just think that this decree probably has something to do with me."

Jia Min saw clearly from the table, and said slowly: "Get ready to receive the decree soon, and there will be so much to say at that time."

Wang Xifeng ordered people to stop the play early, remove the banquet, set up an incense table and close the door to kneel down.

Earlier, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the governor of the Sixth Palace, arriving on horseback, followed by many inner eunuchs.At the end of the inner prison is a plain four-person sedan chair.

Except for Jia Min who was ordered by Chaopin, the rest of the people had already obediently waited on the ground.And Jia Min only needs to kneel again when proclaiming the imperial decree.Therefore, only she saw the sedan chair at a glance.

Oh, is her long-lost eldest niece finally back?

When she was not married, she naturally met the young Yuan Chun.

That Xia Shouzhong, who never betrayed the edict, got off his horse in front of the eaves, walked up to the hall with a smile on his face, stood facing south, and only said in his mouth: "Holy Majesty Long En, Mrs. Jia will return to the mansion to reunite with her relatives, and promise to marry her by herself." .Another hundred taels of gold will be given.”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the expressions of the members of the Jia family who were struck by lightning, they walked away.

Alas, it's really bad luck. Announcing such bad news probably won't do much good.

He, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, sounds majestic, but he can't compare to Qin Wu in terms of being close to nature and flattering horses, and he can't compare to Dai Quan in terms of power.

Jia Min had already figured it out, but at this moment she was very indifferent, and only ordered Yuanyang to hand over the red purse she had prepared: "My father-in-law has official business, so I don't want to leave it in vain."

Xia Shouzhong took it over and squeezed the two flimsy and thin papers. Knowing that they were bank notes, he smiled.

"Thank you Shi Taijun."

Can't help taking a high look: Rongguo Mansion has sent the prostitute's daughter into the palace for ten years, and now that the plan has completely failed, others are surprised and sad, but Shi Taijun is stable, and he can't see anything at all.It really is a character.

"Ma'am!" Li Wan exclaimed.

It turned out that Mrs. Wang suddenly fainted.

"Mother!"

Xia Shouzhong took the inner eunuch and left in a mighty manner, leaving only the small sedan chair at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

As for the reward of one hundred taels, I'm sorry, they are too lazy to take such a heavy gold, and Jia She and Jia Zheng have to go to the ministry to sign and redeem it in person some time.In addition, the Baoqin who followed Yuan Chun into the palace was also released, but it was not equipped with a sedan chair to carry it, so it should be still halfway.

Yuan Chun sat alone in the sedan chair, feeling as sad as if all five were burned.

She didn't understand, obviously the emperor promised her the throne, obviously...

Xia Shouzhong's shrill voice sounded like countless knives had been pierced into her heart, and there was a bloody smell in her mouth, which was bleeding from between her clenched teeth.

Ten years of hard work, once crushed.

Yuan Chun only felt the pain in her heart, and didn't want to come out at first, but the mother and daughter were united, and when she heard the commotion outside that Mrs. Wang had fainted, she couldn't bear it any longer, and ran down the sedan chair to come to Mrs. Wang's side, tears streaming down her face .

Jia Min supported Yuanyang's hand: "This is still the middle gate, what does it look like?"

Wang Xifeng had already reacted, and threw Li Wan a scapegoat: "Don't be annoyed, old lady, the elder sister-in-law screamed because she was worried about her mother-in-law. I'll ask the maids to bring the spring stool and send the second wife in."

From today onwards, her first wife and second wife have been completely upside down.

Yuanchun leaves the palace, and the second room has no hope of relying on it!

As for Jia Baoyu in the palace, Sister Feng knew him best.Jia Baoyu can at most protect himself in the palace, but when it comes to social affairs skills, he is far from Jia Lian, and he can't be counted on at all.

Jia Min nodded indifferently: "Young girl Feng is fine, I'll leave this place to you. It's a mess today, and I don't need to eat the banquet. I'll go back and have a rest."

Sister Feng, who was praised: "Yes, the ancestors can rest assured."

She turned her head to meet Li Wan's shocked and angry eyes.

Wang Xifeng looked back at her without giving in, and Danfeng's eyes were full of smiles.

She still remembered that Li Wan's favorite thing to say in the past was that Sister Feng and Ping'er should change their status, repeatedly saying that she was a rogue and settled down, ridiculing her for being illiterate and so on.

Sister Feng likes others to flatter her the most, how can she be happy.

Now I just don't have to be patient anymore.

It doesn't matter if you are the eldest sister-in-law, I am the eldest daughter-in-law.

When Jia Zheng got the news suddenly, he was stunned for a long while before turning from numbness to shame and anger.

He was angry when he thought of what Mrs. Wang said, so he walked away without looking at Mrs. Wang on the ground.

It was Jia She who stopped him: "What are you doing? My siblings are still here."

Jia Zheng reluctantly said: "Yuan Chun is the granddaughter that my mother placed high hopes on. I am afraid that my mother will be too sad, so I will go to comfort her."

Jia Amnesty suddenly realized: Hey, you really know how to please.No wonder life was better than mine.

Then immediately said to keep up.

The two brothers were more active than the other, and headed towards Rongqing Hall.

Only Mrs. Xing, standing on the spot, showed an attitude of insisting that Qingshan would not let go.

Seeing the servants surrounding Mrs. Wang, they were fanning, supporting, and pinching people.And the cries of Li Wan and Yuan Chun fell on Mrs. Xing's ears like a nice little tune.

After Wang Xifeng finished making arrangements, she almost laughed when she saw Mrs. Xing's eager eyes when she turned her head.

Hastily came over: "Madam, you are the eldest sister-in-law of the second wife. At this time, you can help Zhang Luo arrange it. The old lady can only be happy."

Madam Xing not only expressed her resistance on her face, but also her body posture.

Who cares about Wang, the most important thing is to watch the fun, okay?

Sister Feng is now very good at communicating with Mrs. Xing, or is very good at handling Mrs. Xing.So he said directly: "Ma'am, if the second wife is ill, I'm afraid she won't be able to move out of Rongxi Hall in a short time. Otherwise, if it gets out, wouldn't the master and wife be mean and force the patient to move?"

Sure enough, Mrs. Xing moved immediately, and rushed towards Mrs. Wang like a tiger descending a mountain: "Sister and sister, you can't do anything good or bad!"

--

Yuan Chun has been in the palace for ten years, and he has never seen anyone who can act, but now seeing Mrs. Xing like this makes her angry.It's just that she is a junior, so she could only bear with her anger and said: "Don't worry too much, auntie, Madam probably just passed out after agitated emotions and the heat for several days. You really frightened us like this."

She has been a female official for many years, and she is in front of the empress, who is now the empress dowager, so she naturally has the aura of court instruction.Mrs. Xing was a little embarrassed by what she said. She didn't continue howling, but just looked at Mrs. Wang eagerly, hoping that she would wake up and move out alive and well.

But when Sister Feng saw this, her heart sank suddenly.

Yes, Yuanchun is back.

She is not the cowardly Yingchun, the repressed Tanchun, or the desolate Xichun.She is the second concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, a girl brought up by her ancestors.

Looking at its momentum now, it is not to be underestimated to see what it can do.

If she meddles in the butlership of Rongguo Mansion, then she and Dafang really need to be careful.

--

"Sister Yuanchun returned home?" Daiyu was also a little surprised.

Although she went to Jia Zheng's birthday party just now, when it was time to receive the order, it was not the girl's turn to leave the pavilion. Naturally, even if it was her turn, she was not from the Jia family, so she went back to Rongqing Hall with Sanchun and sat down. Drink tea together and look at paintings together by the way.

She also knew in her heart that although these works of famous masters were rewarded by the queen in name, they were actually given by the fourth prince.

This time the painting was delivered by a maid.

She was very impressed because her name was Baimao.

Daiyu looked at the handsome face of the court lady and the crow's black hair, she was quite speechless.

Xin Hongcheng no longer dared to make a fool of himself, and would rather be mistaken for being uneducated than make mistakes again.Sure enough, Baimao was as stable as Mount Tai, and he managed this matter well.

And because she is very stable and friendly, Daiyu's impression of Xin Hongcheng has also been reversed.

At least believe that he sent cats and dogs, not to tease himself.

Looking at these six paintings again, all of them are treasures of famous masters, and my impression of Xin Hongcheng has changed from "a naughty prince who makes fun of others" to "a strange prince who pretends to be a little eunuch and has a wild temperament".

Daiyu was just surprised, but Tanchun was the one who reacted the most, his face turned pale: "What? My eldest sister has returned home."

After all, Aunt Zhao had been in the second room for all these years, and she still had various contacts, so she heard a little rumor from Jia Zheng, as if she was sure that Yuanchun would be a concubine, so she told her daughter.

In addition to crying and complaining that her daughter was born in her womb so she could not have such a great blessing, she asked Tanchun to find a chance to enter the palace to have an audience with her to please this sister-in-law.

Tanchun said that Aunt Zhao was whimsical.

But now how come...

Yingchun was silent, got up and said: "Sister Lin, let's go back first, let's play another day."

Daiyu got up to see off the three sisters.

Zhou Huangwei had heard of such gossip a long time ago, so it was not surprising at all.She smiled and accompanied Daiyu to roll up the painting and said, "Girl, this has nothing to do with us."

After finishing speaking, she got a look of praise from Ge Momo.

Very well, this time Miss Zhou didn't express any strange opinions.

Then Nanny Ge hurriedly followed: "That's it, girl, thunder, rain and dew are all God's blessings. It is already a great kindness for the emperor to allow Lady Jia to return to the mansion. How many court ladies will not be able to leave the palace for a lifetime."

After a short pause: "You, on the other hand, enter the palace every two months. After all, you and Lady Jia are cousins. It is inevitable that someone will make a fuss about this, embarrass you, or test you. Just ignore it."

Daiyu smiled: "I only stay in Fengyi Palace, so who can go to the empress's door to make trouble?"

Mammy Ge, who had gone through a thousand sails, said: It really can.

The last time Daiyu entered the palace, it was only at a uniquely good time.The emperor was angry with the noble concubines and concubines, and asked them to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors.But after all, it was his concubine who had been with him for many years and had a son, so she wouldn't be unable to recover from a setback.

Not to mention Daiyu, they often dig holes for the queen directly.

Daiyu heard Mammy Ge's brief and cryptic mention of the situation in the palace, and with her intelligence, she also understood.

Can't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is such a good person, how could..." How can she be so pitiful.

Ge Momo coughed lightly: "The empress is in the middle palace and the mother of the world."

You can't show your regret and sigh for the queen. If you want to regard the queen as a god and Buddha, you can only put it on it and respect it.

Daiyu got up: "I know what Mammy said, I will be careful when I enter the palace in the future. Anyway, Nanny will accompany me. But now, I have to go see my grandmother."

As soon as she arrived at the door of the main room, Hu Po just came out, and she hurriedly said affectionately: "Miss Lin is here, and the Eldest Master and the Second Master are also here, would you like to have a sip of tea first?"

Daiyu shook her head: "Since the two uncles are here, I'll go back first."

Amber laughed quickly and said, "Miss, don't worry, as soon as the masters leave, I will invite the girl."

After talking to her for a few words, Daiyu turned around to leave, but when she turned around, she saw a beautiful woman in her twenties entering the door.

The two men made eye contact.

I saw this woman's oval face, beautiful eyebrows, black temples and clean, wearing a long skirt with soft blue and purple stripes and silver lines, her posture and steps are almost exactly the same in every step, and her gestures and gestures are all rules and decency.

No need for introduction, Daiyu knew that this must be Yuan Chun who came out of the palace today.
