[Comprehensive] The glory of the traitorous concubine

When Mrs. Wang entered the palace, Xiao Zhang was enjoying fresh tribute oranges in the house.Qingyan was careful, after cleaning her hands, she fiddled with the little orange petals with various small tools to remove the white texture on them.

Xiao Zhang wanted to ask Qingyan's birthday to see if she was a Virgo.

It is said that eating oranges is easy to get angry, but in winter, there are four heaters in all corners of the warm pavilion, and Xiao Zhang is so hot that he feels anxious all over his body.Eating a few petals of cool oranges just relieves dry mouth.

I got the news a long time ago that Mrs. Wang is here today.Xiao Zhang was not allowed to go out and wait, so he asked Baoqin and Qingzhi to watch outside.Baoqin came from Jia's residence, Qingzhi was lively, Xiao Zhang knew that someone had arrived when he heard a few warblers and swallows outside.

When Qingzhi's laughter was in front of her eyes, several people pushed the door and came in after a while.

I saw Mrs. Wang embroidered with five bats on a purple-red background and holding clouds and flowers. She was rich and dignified, and she bowed to her in a proper manner.

Xiao Zhang helped her up himself, and Yan Yan smiled: "Mother, please forgive me."

After the mother and daughter said some polite words in accordance with the etiquette, Baoqin gave Qingyan Qingzhi a wink, and they retreated knowingly, leaving space for the mother and daughter who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, two lines of turbid tears fell down first.

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while whether to cry or not, but later he was too lazy to act, and just kept comforting Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang cried for a while, then suddenly blamed herself, why she shed tears.

After her tears were exhausted, the two asked each other about each other's recent situation.Mrs. Wang's status in the Jia family has risen because of Yuan Chun, a noble daughter, and she unconsciously tinged a bit of self-esteem when she spoke.

Xiao Zhang stared coldly for a while, then interrupted: "Mother, have Brother Xue's funeral been taken care of?"

When mentioning the death of her nephew, Mrs. Wang showed pain: "Poor child, you are so young... The burial was supposed to be a big deal, but your uncle didn't know what evil it was, and he said that Pan'er was murdered." You deserve what you deserve, and you don't want to bury him with honor... Your aunt almost went blind from crying these days."

What Wang Ziteng said was right, Xue Pan deserved what he deserved.

Xiao Zhang can only hypnotize himself like this.Even if Xue Pan is guilty, she shouldn't be the one who should do it.It's just that if she doesn't act, there is no other way.

She said without changing her face: "Mother, in fact, what uncle said is not wrong."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and looked at her daughter in surprise: "Ma'am, he is your cousin..."

Xiao Zhang frowned in disgust: "So what about my cousin? The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Besides, to be honest, the Xue family is just an imperial merchant, relying on the power of our family and uncle to run rampant here. From this point of view, our family's The younger brother is not sure how it is!"

Mrs. Wang was extremely surprised, she never thought that the eldest daughter who had no big ideas would say such a thing.

Mrs. Wang looked very disturbed: "Don't worry, Madam, your big cousin Xue is a little bit useless, Zhu'er is not the same as Baoyu..."

Xiao Zhang Lingling raised his eyebrows: "Mother, can I still not understand my own brother? Brother Zhu is a very good person, but his body is weaker. I hope you will tell my father a few more words for me when you return home." , don't be too harsh on Big Brother Zhu, the body is the most important thing. As for Baoyu...Baoyu..."

When Mrs. Wang heard her praise Jia Zhu, she was overjoyed at first.Goodbye, when she mentioned Baoyu, her expression suddenly darkened, and Mrs. Wang's heart sank.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhang didn't say anything good about Jia Baoyu: "Although Baoyu is young, mother shouldn't spoil him too much. Especially don't force the old lady to protect him and let him fool around with his sisters all day long."

Among the children, Mrs. Wang dotes on her youngest son Baoyu the most, and immediately changed her face when she heard the words: "Madam, Baoyu is still young..."

"Father may have spoken too harshly to Baoyu, but as long as he doesn't kill him, it's good to discipline him more."

Xiao Zhang ignored Mrs. Wang's gloomy face, and said calmly: "He likes poetry and songs, just tell him to read more. Don't ask him to get better in the imperial examination, as long as he doesn't get into a pile of muddle-headed debts like cousin Xue, I'll be here There is also Amitabha Buddha in the palace!"

Yuanchun was several years older than Baoyu, and had always loved Baoyu like a child before she entered the palace.Mrs. Wang really didn't understand what happened to the eldest daughter, why she suddenly helped Jia Zheng who beat and scolded Baoyu.

Seeing her puzzled face, Xiao Zhang cursed inwardly, shook his head and said: "Mother, do you know that when I mentioned our Jia family these days in the palace, what was the first thing others mentioned? It was all Baoyu's piece of jade. ah!"

Mrs. Wang's complexion softened a little, and she said proudly: "That piece of jade is auspicious, others are envious of our family."

"Is envy so simple? Why didn't such a great auspicious omen appear in the royal family?" Xiao Zhang ruthlessly shattered Mrs. Wang's dream, "The emperor was not born with a jade, so could Baoyu be more noble than the emperor? !"

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Wang was very surprised. This is a very rebellious remark. Once someone else hears it, you will... wait, if it is true, as Yuan Chun said, then the emperor must be scruples about the Jia family... because of the old lady's words. Relationship, the Jia family was originally from the Supreme Emperor's faction, and now the Supreme Emperor is getting older...

Seeing her stunned, Xiao Zhang knew that his words had played a role, and thought that Mrs. Wang was not completely enlightened, and she still had a chance to recover.

"The old ancestor is also a sensible person. It's just that he is getting older and gradually becomes unclear. After returning home, I will also trouble my mother to convey my words today to my grandmother. That piece of jade must not be so precious in the future. If you want me Say, if you don’t wear it, you won’t wear it.”

Mrs. Wang didn't speak, obviously not happy.

Xiao Zhang snorted coldly: "This is my palace's decree. When I send someone home to give the New Year gift later, I will ask someone to check."

Mrs. Wang saw that she was using her status to put pressure, but she really had no choice but to respond in a low voice.

Xiao Zhang picked up the half-eaten orange just now, pushed it away and put it in Mrs. Wang's hand, and said in a slow voice: "Mother, my daughter's hard work, other people don't understand, you must understand."

Mrs. Wang saw that her voice suddenly softened, and the stuff in her heart loosened a little, as if she saw a glimmer of light, she hurriedly asked, "Why did you say that, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Zhang eloquently said: "Although our family is rich and honored, everything is given by the heavenly family. The royal family can easily destroy our entire family with just one word. I am in the palace, and I am in the palace. When the emperor and the emperor get along, I definitely understand their thoughts better than you. Just listen to me about what to do, I will not harm my family."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "It's only natural."

Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "Mother, let me tell you the truth. I know what my mother is doing, what Sister Feng is doing, and what our family has done. Not only I know, but other people in the palace The empress also has her own connections, and she can catch our family at will... At that time, I will suffer, and our family will not be able to think about it."

Mrs. Wang is the person in charge of the family, so she naturally knows that if there is no concubine Yuan Chun, no matter how rich their family is, the two generations will come to an end. At most, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. facade.

Only when the virtuous concubine's position in the palace is stable, the Jia family's wealth can last forever.

When she came in just now, Mrs. Wang was still smiling, but now she was sweating profusely, soaking her clothes on the back.

She solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely tell Feng girl and the others to pay more attention..."

Xiao Zhang gave a faint "hmm" and said again: "Not only the women's relatives, but also the men have to restrain themselves. Those who have seniority and no official position but only walk dogs and play cats, don't be soft when they should be punished. You don't need to save face for them. It's not easy for my mother to come forward, so I'll tell the old lady, and say it's what I mean. "

She didn't expect to completely change Jia's mansion by telling Mrs. Wang today, but at least in the near future, she didn't want Jia's mansion to use any excuses to threaten her.

Mrs. Wang agreed one by one, and before leaving, she suddenly mentioned someone: "Your Majesty, your sister Baochai has recently lost her brother, and she is very depressed. When you go to the palace next time, can you take her with you?"

Normally, Mrs. Wang would not dare to say such a thing.After all, it is already a great honor to be able to enter the palace to visit relatives alone, so how can you bring sisters with different surnames in.

But the situation is different now. One is a virtuous concubine who is deeply favored by the emperor, and she is in the limelight for a while. The other is that Xue Baochai has just passed away her elder brother. After all, there is one less person to rely on in her natal family. Mrs. Wang wants to help her niece find a good future.

Xiao Zhang frowned subconsciously, wanted to refuse, but stopped when he reached the edge of his mouth, and said: "Is this what mother means, or sister Xue?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "This is my selfishness, and your sister Xue doesn't know it."

Xiao Zhang nodded, raised his eyes to look into Mrs. Wang's eyes: "Does mother want Sister Xue to enter the palace, or do you want Baoyu to be a daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Wang panicked, she didn't expect her to mention Baoyu's marriage so early.However, she has obviously thought about this matter for a long time, and she does not intend to hide it in front of her only daughter, and said frankly: "Now that you have entered the palace and are in the early stage, why call your sister Xue to come in and divide your money?" Dote on her. It's better to ask her to match Baoyu, and I can rest assured of my own family."

Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows calmly: "With girl Feng here, mother is not at ease?"

Although Mrs. Wang liked Wang Xifeng's niece somewhat, she valued Wang Xifeng's ability to please her ancestors and the housekeeper's energy more.To be honest, she was still closer to Xue Baochai in her heart.What's more, Baoyu is different from Jia Lian. Baoyu is her own son. Apart from Xue Baochai, who else can be worthy of him?

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "They are still young, it's too early to say these things."

Xiao Zhang picked up a piece of orange and put it in his mouth, ate it slowly, and said with a smile: "But mother and Aunt Xue have already started preparing, haven't they?"

Mrs. Wang was embarrassed: "This..."

Xiao Zhang said with a leisurely smile: "Mother has always been the most willing to follow the wishes of the ancestors, why did she have a conflict with the ancestors on this important matter?"

Mrs. Wang's expression turned cold, she stood up and said, "You mean... Daiyu? No, absolutely not!"

Perhaps only in front of her, Mrs. Wang would not conceal her dislike for Daiyu like this.

Xiao Zhang said softly "Huh?" "Why?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and sighed: "Daiyu has a bitter temper and a weak body, and she is used to teasing Baoyu. Baochai is different. She is smart and behaves in the world. No one can single out her."

Xiao Zhang's expression was very calm, but his words were full of certainty: "I don't care who Baoyu matches with, but Baochai... I have other plans."

Mrs. Wang still wanted to talk, but Xiao Zhang didn't give her this opportunity, and directly expressed his thoughts: "It's so boring to always marry within the four major families. Since Sister Baochai is so capable, it's better to use her as an introduction. Marry more with noble families."
