The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

During the days when Beauty Zhongshun disappeared, Xiao Rong couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well, and every time he dreamed that Beauty Zhongshun appeared in front of him in various miserable appearances.The emperor and empress were worried, so they had to spare time to accompany them every day, and announced Chen Moxue into the palace to work with Daiyu to make this old ancestor happy.

Chen Moxue was dressed in a palace dress embroidered with celestial water and blue silk, and her bangs were covered by neat bangs, making her face look round and cute.Blinking and looking at Xiao Rong with a sad face, he felt troubled, how can he make the Queen Mother happy?Turning her head to look at Lin Daiyu who was sitting beside her, she saw that Daiyu was also worried and absent-minded.Chen Moxue's heart beat even more, what should I do?

Nanny Cui walked in with a bowl of Qicui soup, and sighed inwardly when she saw that the room was not well described. "Queen Mother, you haven't eaten at noon, how can you survive your body, let's use some first."

Xiao Rong glanced at the soup in the bowl, but felt that it was tasteless, and waved his hand, "I'll use it later, is there any news about Zhen'er from the emperor?"

"There is no news from the prince yet."

Xiao Rong felt sour in his heart. The child lost his mother at a young age, and suffered a lot with his unfavored predecessor.It is estimated that when I was a child, I had a shadow of women in the harem in my heart. They are all in their twenties, and they are not married.Now his whereabouts are unknown again, he looks like a monster, and he doesn't know what kind of thieves he has recruited to worry about.

At this time, in Qianxiang Country, thousands of miles away, a thief sneezed loudly in the room, startling the beauty on the bed.A certain thief rubbed his flushed face and smiled shyly, "Hehe, maybe I caught a cold, I didn't mean it."

A certain beauty has black lines all over her face. Who is it that has been rumored that the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom is unparalleled in grace and gorgeous in temperament?

Seeing that Xiao Rong and Daiyu were not in the mood, Chen Moxue rolled her eyes twice, and suddenly said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Mo Xue is here to tell you and Sister Anping some interesting folk things. There are a lot of new things in the capital recently."

Xiao Rong nodded in embarrassment.

Chen Moxue regained her spirits immediately, stood up, and said with a smile, "I heard that Jinling Xue's family, relatives in the Rongguo Mansion, have sued the Rongguo Mansion."

It has to be said that this gossip is extremely useful, and it immediately attracted the minds of the two protagonists.

Daiyu said: "Xue's family and Jia's family are relatives. They have always been close. How could there be a lawsuit?"

Xiao Rong also had a gossip look on his face.

Chen Moxue said with a smile: "You don't know. I also asked a lot of people. This Mrs. Xue claimed to have given 20 taels of silver to the second wife of the Jia family. Because she was concerned about her relationship, she didn't have a written proof. .In the end, Mrs. Wang reneged on the debt and was unwilling to pay back the money. Mrs. Xue got angry and sued Mrs. Wang to the governor of the capital."

When Xiao Rong heard it, he understood the reason.This Jia's mansion has always been at a disadvantage, and the original book did not miss the benefits of Aunt Xue.Before, because the two families wanted to get married, they naturally turned a blind eye.Now that she knows that her daughter has become a Taoist, she naturally doesn't want to let others take advantage of her.

Daiyu frowned, and sighed: "When I was in the mansion before, I could vaguely see that there was too little money coming in and too much money going out. I didn't expect it to be so short-lived."

Chen Moxue smiled mysteriously, and then said, "There are even more strange things."

Seeing that the two looked curious, Chen Moxue took a sip of fruit tea and continued, "Of course Mr. Yin of the capital city dare not continue the lawsuit, so he invited a big shot here. This big shot is the same as the two of them. Very close relationship."

Xiao Rong guessed: "Could it be Wang Ziteng?"

Chen Moxue's eyes widened, "Empress Dowager, how do you know?"

Xiao Rong: "...except Wang Ziteng, who would care about this business."

"Master Wang took care of this nosy business, withdrew the lawsuit, and took the two families to the palace. No one knew what they said, but it was said that when Mrs. Wang left the palace, His face is really scary."

Daiyu said, "Then what happened?"

Chen Moxue was immediately happy, "Later, I heard that many treasures from the Jia Manor appeared in various pawnshops in the capital."

Xiao Rong was not surprised by this result.In the original book, without such a huge fortune of the Lin family, how could the Jia family survive for so long.Such extravagance, even mountains of gold and silver can be used up.Although Jia's mother loves the second room, she will not just use her own money to subsidize it.This person will keep a hand when he is old.

royal mansion

Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family, tugged on her purple embroidered brocade dress, took a sip of tea, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.Looking at Mrs. Wang at the bottom, the disgust in her eyes spontaneously emerged.

"Now the old lady and the master don't want to see me. They blame me for losing the face of the family all day long, and ask my sister-in-law and brother to make the decision." In Yunxiang hall, Mrs. Wang looked at her house with snot and tears Sister-in-law Liu cried.

Mrs. Liu stroked the tortoiseshell hairpin on her bun, and then spat, "You are the wife of a Duke's mansion, how decent it is to cry like this. So much money didn't end up in your stomach alone. Your Majesty Which one didn't spend that money."

Mrs. Wang stopped crying, and then said with swollen eyes: "But my sister is too deceitful. Being disturbed by her like this, what face does the empress in the palace have?"

As soon as she heard about the empress in the palace, Liu's heart became angry.If this guy hadn't instigated that stinky brat from the Jia family to provoke Sister Feng, how could her family get the top spot in the palace.Now that she is born as a concubine, she talks about being a concubine, which is really hateful.Liu sneered and said, "If you cared about your mother's face, you shouldn't have done such a scandal."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu's expression changed, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to shut up.This Liu family was born after the nobles in Kyoto, and before he left the pavilion, he still had the name of the county lord on his body.

Mrs. Liu cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Wang, "Second Sister did too much. Your brother and I have already trained her, but it's also because of you. This blame is on my own family, but It's not glorious."

Madam Wang nodded.He said again: "But what happened to Pan'er back then was also caused by our family's great efforts. Why didn't she care about this point of affection."

"Bang." Mrs. Liu slapped the coffee table hard.Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Liu said solemnly: "The matter of Pan'er is over, and no one is allowed to mention it! If someone really listens to it, if you are tired, your family will not tell it, and even your elder brother Yu Shengshang will not do it well. You Give me a good time to rot this matter in my stomach!"

Wang Shi was so surprised that she half-covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and nodded subconsciously. "Never again, never again."

After Mrs. Liu ordered people to send Mrs. Wang away, she went straight to Wang Ziteng's study.The young man at the door saw Mrs. Liu and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Madam."

"Is the lord in there?"

The little servant hurriedly said: "Master went in at noon and hasn't come out yet."

When Mrs. Liu heard the words, she pushed the door open and entered.

Wang Ziteng was sitting at the desk and reading a book at this time, when he heard the door opening, he guessed his wife with a strong personality.Apart from this, who else in this mansion would dare to enter and leave here at will.

"I heard that the eldest sister is here?"

Mrs. Liu walked to the desk, tidied up the books scattered on the desk, and said, "I just sent them away. This elder sister is really not as sensible as the second younger sister."

Wang Ziteng knew that Mrs. Liu didn't like Mrs. Wang, and said, "They are all my sisters, so you should take care of them."

Mrs. Liu packed up her books, walked to the soft chair beside the desk and sat down, "Master, now there are two concubines in the palace, it would be fine if the two families live in harmony, but now the two houses are in such a deadlock, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the palace in the future."

Wang Ziteng sighed, "Hey, it's all worrying."

Mrs. Liu said: "My lord, I have to say something from my heart here. For so many years, my lord has been a great help to Jia's family. Even outsiders know that the lady in the palace took advantage of you, so she chose to do it. They are always confused. A few days ago that Baoyu also caused that kind of scandal, and you were so tired that you fell ill. The concubine’s body hurts in her eyes. Now she is bullying the second younger sister again. It can be seen He's a white-eyed wolf. Now that the girl from the second sister's family has also entered the palace, Baochai has good looks and a good temper, so it's better to help him in the future, he will definitely be more sensible than that one."

When Wang Ziteng heard this, he began to think about it.It's not that he hasn't thought about how to treat the two nieces in the palace in the future.I have been an official for so many years, how could I naively think that one mountain can accommodate two tigers.It's just that one has been cultivated for ten years to get where it is today, and the other has accumulated a lot of money, and no one wants to give up.After listening to Liu's words now, it is not unreasonable.

Seeing Wang Ziteng's expression of hesitation, Mrs. Liu asked in a low voice, "Isn't the master still thinking about Sister Feng?"

Wang Ziteng did not deny it, but said: "Before my brother died, I swore to take good care of his only seedling. Naturally, I couldn't watch her suffer."

"Sister Feng is not up to snuff. The concubine treats her like her own daughter and teaches her as her own daughter. She thought she would be able to make a difference in the future, but she just fell in love with the Jia family. With your cruel second sister around, how can Jia Lian still return?" What a bright future!" Thinking of this, Liu couldn't help but look indignant.

"This..." Wang Ziteng fell into a difficult knot, and then sighed, "Madam, let me think about it for my husband."
