The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

"Auntie, please sit down!" Jia Yuanchun looked at Jia Min with a smile on her face. Compared with when she was at the queen's place before, her smile at this moment was more sincere and less hypocritical.

"The concubine De concubine came to me in such a hurry, what advice can you give me?" Jia Min didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.

You know, she and the queen just said a small part about Lin Tian and Situ Meng's marriage, and there are still many things waiting for them to discuss, but Jia Yuanchun interrupted him abruptly, saying that he didn't like it. Annoyed that is impossible.

But firstly, this Jia Yuanchun is the concubine De and her niece after all, she really has no way to see her, and secondly, judging from the situation just now, she really did not do anything bad to Lin Daiyu.

You know, although Lin Daiyu looks like a pure and delicate little girl on the surface, she looks innocent and easy to deceive, but in fact, when it comes to mentality and resourcefulness, the little guy is ten blocks stronger than many adults. Even Jia Min felt ashamed of her thoughtfulness towards her many times.

Therefore, if Jia Yuanchun's few words are enough to deceive Lin Daiyu, and he is willing to help her deceive himself, Jia Min will not believe anything.

She also saw that when Lin Daiyu and Jia Yuanchun were together just now, that smile was indeed from the heart, not a social smile that didn't reach her eyes, even when Lin Daiyu and the princess left just now, she secretly made a smile for herself. Only their mother and son knew how to gesture, which made Jia Min curious about Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Min, who originally didn't want to deal with concubines in the palace because of his kinship, was also aroused by Lin Daiyu's gesture at this moment, and wanted to hear what was important for Jia Yuanchun to find him.

"Auntie, I originally asked you because someone entrusted me to be a matchmaker for my cousin!" Jia Yuanchun said flatly.

"Huh?" Jia Min was taken aback when he heard this, and then frowned, feeling annoyed for a while.

You know, because of Lin Tian's relationship with Situ Meng, and Lin Ruhai's current status in the court, there are definitely not a few people who are concerned about the marriage of their little Daiyu. Think back to when Lin Daiyu was born in Yangzhou, There were people who wanted to marry the Lin family constantly, but they were either directly rejected by her or Lin Ruhai, and those who wanted to use power to force them were all solved by Lin Tian mercilessly.

But she really didn't expect that so many people would fall into Lin Daiyu's idea as soon as they entered Beijing, which really gave her a headache.

When I went to Rongguo Duke's Mansion yesterday, Mother Jia's intention to make Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu a pair was already unintentional, but Mrs. Wang was not happy because she had a bad relationship with her, so she made a deliberate idea. The act of slapping himself in the face also made Jia's mother unable to speak in the end.

This is the capital city after all, different from the small place in Yangzhou, with Lin Ruhai's official position, there is no way to suppress those who dare to come to propose marriage, let alone directly trouble Jia Yuanchun, the concubine De, who came forward as a lobbyist to protect the matchmaker. Apart from the princes born by those concubines in the palace, there will be no one else.

Thinking of this, Jia Min became irritable, and finally gritted his teeth and thought to himself: "If it's really impossible, I can only send Daiyu to Prince Zhongshun's mansion!"If anyone wants to ask for it, let them talk to Xiaotian!I can't control it anymore! '

Seeing that Jia Min could hardly maintain that lady-like smile, Jia Yuanchun let out a burst of laughter, and then suddenly showed a relaxed and slightly relieved smile on his face, saying:

"But, now I've changed my mind! I don't want to do what they want anymore! I won't give my cousin a kiss! After all, my life is already bad enough, so why let my little cousin go through it with me? The same pain and troubles!"

"En?" Jia Min was taken aback after hearing her words, and then asked softly, "I don't know what your mother's intention is?"

"Hehe..." Jia Yuanchun suddenly burst into laughter, laughed for a long time, and then opened his mouth leisurely, saying:

"I think my aunt has already guessed that it is the prince from the concubine. I won't say who it is! After they promised me, they will help my father to be promoted to a higher rank and pass the fourth-rank hurdle. At the same time, I can Send him out to a wealthy place to be a great official in the frontier, restore the glory of the Rongguo government, so that my father no longer has to stay in a place like the Ministry of Industry and work hard for qualifications, and stay where he is for 20 years!"

Jia Min raised his eyebrows lightly, didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"Originally, my heart was moved, and I even took action, but the conversation with my little cousin just now made me change my original mind. Hehe..." Jia Yuanchun had a wry smile on his face, and said:

"Actually, I know a thing or two about the state of Rongguo's mansion, even in this deep palace! Although the uncle inherited the title, he is a playboy, and he is so muddy that he can't get on the wall! Father, hehe ...I have always claimed to be a scholar, but in reality, how many catties are there...

If he is really as capable as he said, but just underappreciated, how could he keep standing still in the official position that his grandfather begged for him!Back then, the uncle of the Wang family had a much lower start than him, but now he has become a second-rank Jingying Jiedushi, and he is also a celebrity in front of the emperor. This is just around the corner!

When his father was an official, Uncle Lin didn't become an official because of his filial piety, but now, he has already shouldered the burden of the entire Dayong Dynasty's salt tax by himself!I also heard from the emperor that my uncle will go to Beijing to report on his duties this time, so the official position must still be moved up!Also Jane is in the heart of the emperor's court minister...

With these comparisons, how could I come up with the ridiculous and naive idea that he can revitalize Rongguo's mansion!As for the next generation of the Rongguo Mansion, hehe...

That is even more unbearable. Jia Zhu, the only elder brother who can provoke the leader, has died young. The uncle's two sons are useless. Baoyu, although his mother praises him every time he comes, but he It's too naive, and has no intention of official career at all, and even looks down on scholars...

Even if I work hard by myself and exhaust all my efforts to plan for them and work hard for the growth of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, but what's the use of that!What my cousin said just now completely woke me up.

I have been manipulated by them for more than 20 years for the Rongguo Mansion, for that family, and it is time for me to live the next life according to my own will!

Although I will be buried in this deep palace compound for the rest of my life, the empress is fair and upright, honest and upright. Although the palace rules are very strict, she never maliciously suppresses concubines. It is already very good for her to live under the mistress!

After all, I don't have the ability of Princess Zhongshun, and I don't have a pair of parents who are always concerned about her happiness and always consider her feelings like my cousin. "

"Alas..." Jia Min sighed, really didn't know what to say, and wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't open her words, so in the end, she could only pat Jia Yuanchun lightly. shoulders.

"Although I don't know why my aunt was so good at the beginning, why she didn't participate in the draft, and I envy you for having such an outstanding husband who loves you deeply. But in fact, thinking about it from another angle, my luck is not bad!

Although, the emperor chose me who happened to be there in order to win over the veteran nobles in order to follow the former emperor's wishes, but he still treats me a little bit favorably, at least, my status in the palace is not too high now. Worse, it's even much higher than those who came from the palaces with different surnames!

This time I asked my aunt to tell you a secret!I have kept this matter in my heart for a long time. Although my ancestors said that I can tell the emperor if necessary in exchange for the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion, but I can't do such a cruel thing! "

When Jia Yuanchun said this, she suddenly fell silent. Obviously, she was having a fierce ideological struggle in her head at the moment.

"Empress Defei, you don't have to push yourself too hard! You don't have to say what you don't want to say, and you don't have to do what you don't want to do. You have already paid too much, too much for the Rongguo Mansion! Seeing the hard work of generations after generation, you can't support it with just a lady in the palace, so don't make things difficult for yourself anymore!" Jia Min persuaded softly.

"Alas..." Jia Yuanchun sighed softly, and said, "This secret has been in my heart for a long time! I can't carry it anymore! In fact, this secret is about the eldest grandson-in-law of the Duke of Ning's mansion, that is, Jia. The family's current clan wife, Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin's..."

After the words were out of his mouth, Jia Yuanchun's expression became much more relaxed, and he continued: "She is the daughter of the former prince. When she was young, Qin Ye, an official of the East Palace, used her own daughter to give her away, and then hid her. In the Yuyingtang, someone raised her as her adopted daughter!

However, Uncle Tang got to know this news somehow, so he made a marriage agreement with Qin Ye.Moreover, it seems that there are some things related to several kings with different surnames, but they didn't tell me about the specific ancestors.

However, I have always vaguely felt that there seems to be a big conspiracy brewing, but I don't know who to tell, and I don't know what it will bring to the Rongguo Mansion if this matter is revealed.To reach the sky in one step, or to fall into hell forever..."

"Hiss..." Jia Min took a breath after hearing this, and looked at Jia Yuanchun with a dangerous look, and she was already thinking quickly in her heart, what exactly did she mean, you know, this kind of thing is terrible It can be big or small, but it's just a girl, and it won't make any big waves. Even if you say it, the emperor won't make things difficult for her, but if several kings with different surnames are really involved, then the problem behind it will be too big .

For a while, Jia Min felt that the clothes on her back were wet with cold sweat, but she still restrained the irritability and panic in her heart very calmly, and asked lightly: "Then what do you plan to do in the future? This time, if you keep If the matchmaker’s work is not done, will it have any impact on the empress?”

"It's okay! It's just an exchange of benefits! Whether my father is promoted or not has no effect on me now! Moreover, he is not a person who is good at being an official. The greater the official position, the more important it may be for him. It's dangerous, it's better to maintain the status quo!" Jia Yuanchun said softly, at this moment she already had a clear sense of seeing through the world.
