Queen's Road in the Red House

It is Jia Min's habit at Lin's house to drink a bowl of honey soup with red dates and bird's nest first thing in the morning.

The honey is also nectar made from Sophora japonica, which clears heat and cools blood, relieves cough and moistens lungs.It's just that she went early, and her daughter was still young at the time, and she couldn't take the medicine every day, so she didn't take these with her.

Jia Min thought, now Daiyu's physique, it is good to eat these.

So he asked Yuanyang, "Is there any good bird's nest in the house?"

Yuanyang thought about it carefully: "There must be some. It seems that the government of Shanguo sent a lot of them a few years ago. They are so complete that the old lady praised them at the time. It should be that there is no reward and they are still kept."

Jia Min nodded, and told her to serve a cup of red dates and bird's nest soup every morning.

The mandarin duck quickly agreed.

"Today, this cup of chickpea curds should be given to the eldest wife. After all, it's her first day as a housekeeper, so she should use some delicate ones."

Yuanyang understood in an instant.

Firstly, the old lady is trying to make face for Mrs. Xing, to give her face; secondly, she is afraid that she will stir up Mrs. Xing's desire for power.

In life, eating and drinking are important things.Who doesn't want to eat well?

There are rules and regulations for three meals a day in Rongguo Mansion. For example, the girl's family's meal is two chickens, two ducks, ten catties of meat, and vegetables for a dime a day.

But this is not just about the girl's food alone, but all the maids and women who serve in her yard are counted in it.

As for King Xing's two wives, their allowances have more than doubled, five chickens and five ducks a day, thirty catties of meat, and vegetables worth three pennies.

It sounds like a lot, but the number of ladies serving in the courtyard has also doubled, and there are dozens of people, so this example doesn't seem too much.

Only Jia's mother wrote all kinds of meat and vegetables with water signs, and she ate them every day, and she counted them after eating for a month.

This is also a symbol of her detached status as an old feudal monarch.

It is a big family, and there are rules for every vegetable and meal.

The big kitchen mediates and cooks according to the order every day, and sends it to each room.Those who have face can still order a dish, and those who have money can also pay for an additional dish, but if they have no face and no money, it is best to give them whatever they eat, so as not to mess with the big kitchen and send them to the restaurant later. The meals are second-class.

Jia Min is in charge of the house herself, and understands the torment of these small details.

For example, the portion is the same, but what about the quality and size of the chicken and duck?How fresh are the vegetables?There is much to be done about these.

If you don't have a good relationship with the big kitchen, you can only eat some inferior goods.What's more, the meat is made greasy and unpalatable, and the vegetables are fried old and salty, and they are all there-in any case, the proportions are all given to you. There is nothing missing, isn't it?

Of course, although Mrs. Xing has no power in Jia's family, the big kitchen doesn't dare to treat the eldest wife harshly, which is pretty good on the surface.

It's just that compared to the meticulous and thoughtful treatment of Wang's side, Mrs. Xing's treatment can't even keep up with flattery.

People, don't worry about being few, but about unevenness.

If everyone eats bran swallowed vegetables together, that's fine.But some people eat meat and some eat soil, this is not acceptable!The so-called happiness is not how well you live, but that you live better than others.

There is happiness in comparison.

So Mrs. Wang is happy, but Mrs. Xing is very unhappy.

Now, Jia Min wants to give her happiness and let her feel the pleasure of overpowering Mrs. Wang.Once she got it, Madam Xing probably wouldn't want to lose it again.

Yuanyang thought a lot in an instant, but she didn't reply slowly at all, and said with a smile: "Old lady, then I will send it to the eldest lady myself." Only she, Mother Jia, who went to the No. Mrs. Xing is decent.

Rongguo Mansion is known for its tolerance and benevolence in treating servants, and the big maids in each room do not talk to each other in private.

Jamin nodded.

Yuanyang walked outside the door, followed by a little girl carrying a mahogany carved lacquer food box.She took a deep breath before continuing to walk forward with a smile.

--

Mrs. Xing was very happy.

It has been 20 years since she married into the Rongguo Mansion, and this is the first time she is qualified to take part in the housekeeping, so Mrs. Xing came here with the intention of fighting a tough battle!

So all the confidantes came out, none of them stayed in the east courtyard, and they all killed here with her at this time.

Last night, Sister Feng asked someone to tidy up a small courtyard behind Rongxi hall, named Qingping courtyard.

Wang Xifeng was also small-minded, and hated Mrs. Wang for throwing face at her, so she simply arranged Mrs. Xing to be very close to the Rongxi Hall where Mrs. Wang lived.The euphemistic name is that it is more convenient for the two wives to discuss matters, but Mrs. Wang can't say much.

After all, Sister Feng had already packed her bags and left Rongguo Mansion, and went to live in Ningguo Mansion because of her grievances.It was too late for Mrs. Wang to settle the score, so she could only pinch her nose to admit the fact that Mrs. Xing was going to live next door to her.

Now all the people in Qingping Courtyard are Madam Xing's confidantes.

Seeing the uncontrollable joy on Mrs. Xing's face, the housekeeper Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly flattered him: "This is the only face that the wife has, and the second wife doesn't have it. It can be seen that the old lady values ​​the eldest daughter-in-law after all."

Everyone has to make horizontal comparisons with people of the same status. Mrs. Xing is against Mrs. Wang, and the one who Wang Shanbao's family is jealous of is the second wife's companion, Zhou Rui's family!

They are all the companions of the wife, why Zhou Rui's family is more respectable than her in the mansion.What made her even more annoyed was that she regarded Zhou Rui's family as an opponent, but they looked down on her!The grand goal of Zhou Rui's family is Nanny Lai, so he rushed there without giving her a wink.

Wang Shanbao's family was even more angry.

Seeing that his wife is also in charge of the housekeeper, Wang Shanbao's family feels that their life has suddenly taken off.

Madam Xing finished a cup of chickpea curd amidst all the hype and flattery, she stood up with more fighting spirit, "Let's go, let's go to Rongqing Hall!"

It can be said that Jia Min's cup of chickpea curd encouraged Mrs. Xing no less than the three bowls of wine before Wu Song beat the tiger.

Now, Mrs. Xing is going to go straight to Mrs. Wang's lair.

Regardless of Mrs. Xing's ambition to take down the Wang family, it is only said that Jia Min finally saw Jia Baoyu himself.

Jia's mother always doesn't want her children and grandchildren to come to pay her respects every morning, saying that they are troublesome and bother herself.This is also the confidence of her old lord, anyway, she can't follow her words in the mansion, so she doesn't have to use the younger generation to greet her sooner or later to show her status.

So when Jia Baoyu came, Jia Min had already finished his breakfast and was reclining on the couch, continuing to read the accounts carefully.

It was at this time that Jia Baoyu lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"How is the old ancestor?" As he said that, he wanted to roll on the couch and act like a baby in Jia Mu's arms as usual.

Seeing his actions, Jia Min's hairs stood on end.

She didn't love Jia Baoyu at all, she even got tired of looking at him, if Jia Baoyu really rolled in her arms, she would push him somersault if she couldn't bear it anymore.

Yuanyang stood very close to see the disgust in her eyes.

Then Yuanyang bit her lip, stood in front of her and said with a smile: "Second Master Bao, the old lady was injured the day before yesterday, and she can't stand being rubbed by you today. Second Master, please sit here."

Jia Baoyu froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister Yuanyang said yes, I was confused. Thanks to my sister for reminding me, the old lady really can't do it without her for a moment."

After saying a few sweet words to the girl, Jia Baoyu looked at Jiamu again: "Ancestor, yesterday I was still burning incense for you in Tiekan Temple, begging the Bodhisattva to bless the old ancestor to live a long life."

Jia Min hummed: "It's hard for your filial piety."

It's hard for your filial piety to burn the real Jia Mu to the west.

Jia Min took a sip of tea, suppressed the tiredness in her heart, and tried her best to be pleasant: "Baoyu, your sister Feng has lived in Ningguo Mansion these few days, and you should go for a walk when you have nothing to do, so I can help you cook for Brother Zhen." Business is also a relationship between relatives."

Yuanyang couldn't help smiling, the implication of this was not: just go away and stay away from me.

Jia Baoyu was eager to hear this so that he could play with Qin Zhong, so he ran away without saying a word.

Holding the teacup, Jia Min suddenly said, "Yuanyang, tell everyone else to go out, and you are the only one left."

Just now Yuanyang's behavior was very good, stopping Jia Baoyu was very much in her mind.

But it is precisely because of the unity of the heart, so it is wrong!

How much Jia's mother doted on Jia Baoyu in the past, but now she is uncharacteristically. Yuanyang, as Jia's mother's number one confidant, is not only not surprised, but stops Jia Baoyu before she opens her mouth.

Jia Min gently skimmed off the foam on the tea.

She felt that this girl was very thoughtful, and she might have noticed her own eccentricity, but she was not worried, even since she woke up, she did not take extra care to pretend to be Jia Mu, she remained the same.

Elderly people are afraid of death, and after an illness, there is also a big change in temperament.

What's more, his identity is hanging in the air here.The deeds of prostitution of Yuanyang's family are all held in her hands, and it is impossible to find out.

----

Yuanyang stood in front of Jia Min with bright and clear eyes. She smiled and said, "You are not an old lady. The old lady was injured the day before yesterday and she woke up early yesterday morning. That's when you came into her body."

Jia Min's hand paused, and the sharpness appeared in his eyes.

She is the director of the family and has dealt with many servants who have made mistakes.Even when she was a girl's family, she saw Jia's mother deal with people.

Inside the gate of the mansion, there are no people and things that are not visible.As long as a handful of soil is covered, life is still ordinary.

Jia Min is not a cruel person, but when it comes to her own identity and her daughter's future, she will never be soft-hearted.

Seeing her gaze, Yuanyang shivered, and quickly continued: "You, listen to me." She sped up her speech, for fear that the person in front of her would immediately ask someone to drag her out and beat her to death. After all, her identity is still a girl.

But at this time, let's put Jia Min aside and talk about another story.

--

Xin Hongcheng always thought that he was the only time traveler.

However, he felt that he was not at a loss. He changed from a 16-year-old boy who was dying of a serious illness to a five-year-old son of the prince's mansion.He asked himself, the God of time travel really did him wrong.

So he was not hypocritical at all, and worked hard for a better life.

Until four years later, when nine-year-old Xin Hongcheng was ordered to visit the seriously ill young son Fan Yunyi of the Jian'anbo family, he heard the boy lying on the bed talking to himself: "Ah? Didn't I crash the plane? Where is this?" !"

Xin Hongcheng turned pale with shock, and lifted the other party's curtain.

The historic meeting between the two traversers was thus completed.

Xin Hongcheng felt something was wrong.

The world is so big, if there were really only the two of them who traversed, could they really be so coincidentally together?The probability of this is too low.

So in the next six years, the two continued to search for the traverser.Anyway, it's just that template: a group of people with sudden changes in temperament after serious illness/falling into the water/trauma and other events.

As of today, six years have passed, and they have found more than a dozen traversers in the capital.

Some of these people used to be doctors, chefs, designers, and even students.And the identities they passed through are also different, scattered all over the capital.

Shared secrets and interests make unbreakable allies.These seemingly unrelated people are threaded into a tight unknown net by their common experiences.

Xin Hongcheng named their organization the Travelers Association.

Just last night, Fan Yunyi told him that a new traverser had appeared.

Xin Hongcheng was in a state of desperation, so he just asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Rongguo Mansion Shi Taijun."

Xin Hongcheng raised his head: "Hey! Besides the two of us, this is the person with the highest status, right? But this comrade is a bit miserable, he actually dressed like an old lady."

Fan Yunyi scrupulously said: "My identity is not as good as hers."

Xin Hongcheng's eyes lit up: "This person came at the right time, tell Yuanyang that you don't need to observe and test, just point it out to her, I need the help of the head of the Rongguo Mansion for an urgent matter."

He propped his chin with a brush: "Give Yuanyang my token, so that the other party won't even admit it, and even kill someone to silence him!"

"They are all members of the association, so we can't let Yuanyang get into trouble."

--

In Rongguo Mansion, Yuanyang hurriedly said: "I, like you, also came back from time travel. Listen to me, airplanes, airplanes, um... and tanks, computers, mobile phones, you believe it now!"

Jia Min asked herself that she was a smart person, but Yuanyang's words still made her a little confused, what was this mess, is this girl crazy.

Jia Min was thinking of calling someone in to tie her up.In case the mandarin ducks go crazy, the bones of an old lady like me probably can't beat her, and it's hard enough to run away.

Seeing that Jia Min didn't respond to the modern facilities, Yuanyang couldn't help but slapped her thigh: What a pity, I met an ancient time traveler!

Not everyone in the alliance has traveled from the modern society, and there are two people who are from this dynasty wearing people from this dynasty.

So Yuanyang knew that it was difficult for these ancient time travelers to understand this matter without being forged and baptized by countless modern time travel novels.

So Yuanyang hastened to cheer up and explained with gestures and gestures.

After half an hour, Jia Min finally cleared his mind.

She took a sip of the cold tea, calmed down and said, "So, you came here from a servant girl who passed through several dynasties."

"Before you were alive, you read a book that recorded the rise and fall of the four major families, including the Jia family. And now you have become a person in the book."

"It's not just you, there are more than a dozen people like this in the capital, forming an organization to watch and help each other."

"And you came to contact me because you want me to join in?"

Yuanyang sat down on the footrest: Great, I finally explained clearly.

Fortunately, this person in front of him, although he is an ancient man, is rare to be organized clearly. At this time, he has already listed the items according to the key points.

Jia Min put down the teacup and suddenly said, "One of you must have a high status."

Yuanyang was startled: She was just now busy explaining to the person in front of her what time travel is and her own origin.There was no time to introduce Xin Hongcheng, how did she guess it?

Jia Min said indifferently: "Just because you know this matter, you dare to break it with confidence. There must be someone with a higher status than me behind the scenes who can keep you."

Yuanyang stood up from the ground and said softly: "The president is the fourth prince from the current heir, Xin Hongcheng."

That's right, student Xin Hongcheng's fate is really good. When he crossed over, he was five years old and he was only the son of the royal family.

However, at the end of last year, his father was promoted to the emperor, and he was also promoted, changing from the emperor's grandson to the emperor's son.The identity has been greatly improved by one level.

Thank you cheap daddy for your courage!

Jia Min's eyes were shocked: she was born in a noble family of the dynasty, and her fear of imperial power was deeply rooted in her bones.This matter has actually been heard by Datian, and it is closely related to a prince.

She knew that she had no choice.

If it was a mandarin duck, she could ignore it, but it was the emperor's son, so she could only recognize it.

Her thoughts changed, but it wasn't a bad thing.

The Ningrong Second Mansion is a towering tree that has rotted to the root. One day it will collapse, and Jia Mu is useless. It is estimated that Jia Daishan will be alive, and the strong man will be able to save him by breaking his wrists and scraping his bones.

So Jia Min has long understood that even if she passes through and knows the future well, Ningrong Second House is still destined to follow the old path.

She just wanted to pick her daughter out clean.

It's a pity that the grandfather was a family of criminal officials. Even if Daiyu was married at that time, it is estimated that she would inevitably be implicated, and she would not be able to hold her head high in her husband's family.

And myself, as an old woman in the family of criminal ministers, has no power and power, how can I protect Daiyu again?

This matter has been pressing in Jia Min's mind, but because he feels that he has no solution, he can only take one step at a time.

But it's different now, if she gets on the line of the fourth prince, she has already made a plan for the future, and the Rongguo Mansion will collapse in the future, and Daiyu will not be completely helpless, the royal family is her biggest support.

Jia Min has made up his mind.

Although Lin Ruhai used to say that getting involved in royal affairs is hard to end well.But Jia Min didn't care, it didn't matter what she did, anyway, she was just a lonely ghost stealing her life.As for getting involved with the fourth prince, Jia Min doesn't care if the Rongguo Mansion will be implicated if things fail in the future - it's best to be implicated!

If the alliance with the fourth prince is beneficial in the future, she will naturally put it on Daiyu, and if there is a problem, she will throw it to the Rongguo Mansion.

For such a beneficial and harmless matter, Jia Min naturally wanted to give it a go.

So she nodded, and said to the mandarin duck in front of her: "You can tell His Highness Fourth Highness for me. If there is an order in the future, I will do my best."

Yuanyang showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, touched his head and said: "This, this... It won't be too long, the Fourth Highness wants to ask you for help. Otherwise, I wouldn't rush to let me come to the showdown."

Jia Min: ...
