Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

The author has something to say: it has been repaired~~will not move again~~Thank you everyone!

At night, when the moon is in the sky, the moonlight is like water, and the sound of the watchman knocking on the clapper can be heard from a distance, which shows that it is getting late.

Jia Min simply wore a loose bun, no makeup on his face, and was leaning on the kang covered with a thick sheepskin blanket in a moon-white coat, facing the carved glass hydrangea lamp, and compared carefully Looking at the green bamboo pattern I had just drawn a while ago, I picked out several colors of needlework from time to time, and compared them, thinking how to match the ink silk in my hand, with extra care.

Jia Min was thinking about it, but he heard a creak on the door, and saw that no one informed him, it must be Lin Ruhai who came in, so he didn't look back, just continued to do his own thing.Lin Ruhai held a volume of books in his hand, and walked in from the outside wearing a blue robe. When he entered the room, he saw the beautiful woman embroidering pictures under the lamp, holding them pleasing to the eye, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He turned to put the book in his hand Put it on the table, hurriedly walked in front of Jia Min, picked up the two flower figures that floated down, and just sat down.He hadn't seen Jia Min sewing for a while. In previous years, Jia Min would make some clothes for him at this time, and it must be for him.

Lin Ruhai only felt that his heart was very sweet, and hurriedly poked his head to look at the work in Jia Min's hands, but saw that the size of the piece of silk in Jia Min's hand was much smaller than his body, and it was obvious that it was made. It wasn't his own, but when he took a closer look at the pattern, color and shape, it was indeed a man's tunic, not for Daiyu, but for that stinky brat, Na Heng'er. Lin Ruhai felt a little disappointed at once, and then felt a sense of urgency in his heart. The sour smell pervaded the air, and the words were sour, pointing slightly: "Madam, Heng'er has quite a few of them."

Jia Min raised her head when she heard the words, and seeing Lin Ruhai's unnatural expression, she couldn't help being angry and funny, lightly nodded Lin Ruhai's head, and said coquettishly: "How old are you, and you still have to care about these things?" No? Could it be that I have wronged the master on weekdays, and since Heng'er is my son, it's not a big deal if he does a few more things, so how could he be in the way of Master Lin's eyes?

Don't block the light, I haven't finished embroidery yet? " Lin Ruhai was so rare that he got up, and he didn't move his body, his eyes didn't move, he just stared at Jia Min.

Jia Min also knew that this job might not be able to continue, so he had to withdraw the needle helplessly, and carefully gathered the needle and thread, and put it in a carved sewing box beside him, then got up and poured a cup of tea for Lin Ruhai, and put both hands in front of Lin Ruhai, She blinked playfully, and said with a slight smile: "Please drink tea to calm down, I will definitely make clothes for you next time."

Lin Ruhai took the tea, took a sip, nodded reluctantly, and then hurriedly added: "The inner coat and purse are also a little old, and I haven't replaced them for a long time."

Jia Min laughed more and more at his lack of stamina, he was caressing like a child, and laughed and scolded: "Seeing that you are so aggressive, you always feel sorry for my hard work on weekdays, but this time you have the nerve to order your wife, why don't you feel sorry for my hard work?" , it can be seen that Master Lin is also a person who only allows state officials to set fire and not allow the people to nod."

Lin Ruhai's face turned red, and she was busy drinking tea without answering.

Jia Min looked at it, but didn't continue talking, and remembered the box of gifts today, quickly put a smile on her face, and asked carefully: "What's going on in the daytime, those four pieces of jade are all extraordinary. It is not something that ordinary people can get. The pear box, if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that it is a plaything made by Lu Ban's heirs. People with such abilities are not ordinary people. I also know how the master is. Since Dai'er was allowed to accept it, it must have something to do with our family, but I thought about the people I usually come and go with, and it must not be. Presumably, which adult sent it?"

The redness on Lin Ruhai's face hadn't faded before, but Jia Min's question made him straighten up, without the casual and relaxed posture before, he simply put down the tea bowl in his hand.This was originally a question he tried to avoid, and when he saw Jia Min mentioning it like this, he also appreciated his wife's insight, so although he hesitated for a while, he half-confided it, and because he was only guessing, Therefore, he also said vaguely: "Actually, I can't be considered an adult. Do you still remember Jing Xiaolin from the Jing family?"

Jia Min immediately found such a person in his mind, and even though he understood a little bit, he felt a little more relaxed, as long as he is not a layman, so as not to cause a bad reputation for Dai'er, he hurriedly said: "That is Master Jing sent it?" But before Lin Ruhai nodded, Jia Min felt uneasy again, and asked a little late: "It doesn't seem like the master's intention?"

Lin Ruhai stood up, sat down, stretched out his hand, and held Jia Min in his arms. He smelled the fragrance of Jia Min's hair, and felt a little relieved at once, but couldn't bear his wife to follow him. How could I not know that it was given by the adults. I am afraid that this was given by the current head of the Jing family, and there is no other intention. The head was originally taught by Jing Xiaolin. Although he is 15 years old this year, he can see It turned out to be a thousand-mile steed."

Lin Ruhai said that his voice gradually became deeper and deeper, and he understood the meaning of the other party. This guy must have taken a fancy to Daiyu, the jewel in his palm. Daier is only a few years old, and she should have fun at their husband and wife's knees without any worries. At that time, he was remembered by people.

It was actually taught by that old fox. Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help being a little annoyed at the young man who gave the gift, and also lamented that time is not forgiving. Dai'er has grown up, and she feels both happy and sad. taste.

Jia Min understood a little bit, she had the same thoughts as Lin Ruhai in her heart, and felt that the other party was really abrupt. What kind of thing is it to give a gift to a girl who is not married to Yunying without knowing the root cause? Life is suspicious, but it is only better than Baoyu.

Lin Ruhai knew what was on his mind when he saw his wife's embarrassing expression.Thinking about it, it is also true, how can a person give gifts without the nod of the elders and in the name, fortunately he still knows some etiquette, if he dares to make a big show, he has to ask for an explanation even if he does not want to be an official, otherwise his daughter What should I do in the future.

"Forget it, don't make trouble. That kid is studying with our son now, just tell him to pay attention. If it's not good, we'll think about it and come up with a charter. You should also pay attention to Dai'er. Although I promised Dai'er to accept it, after all, it shouldn't be left with Dai'er, so as not to cause trouble."

The Supreme Emperor now resides in Dinggan Palace, and the nearest to Dinggan Palace is Ci'an Palace, and the concubines and concubines all live in a part of the deep palace, which is inevitably a bit desolate.If you have a slightly better friendship, you can still hang out with each other to pass the time.Originally the most popular Zhuang Xianbi was not very popular, so she had to talk to her court lady to relieve boredom.

Concubine Chunde offended Concubine Zhenxian because of her disrespectful words during the one-day meeting, and now she is also excluded by others and is not interesting.

It’s just that this kind of life is not a long-term way to live after all. It is better for concubines with children in their knees. The happiest thing is that their sons or daughters visit him in the palace from time to time, bringing some fresh food or news. In contrast, the concubines and concubines who seem to have no children are even more lonely in the palace. They can only make people specially find those little eunuchs who go out to work or run errands to come and talk about new things, and then reward them with some money. Well, the little eunuchs originally entered the palace only because their families were poor. Their daily income was only a monthly fee, and they were deducted by the big eunuch. They couldn't save much money a month, and they had to subsidize their families.This has extra income, which is undoubtedly a pie in the sky. How can I not work hard, and naturally run more diligently.

The news about Jia Baoyu from the Jia family was quickly known by the concubines and concubines in the palace who longed for a little bit of life. They couldn't help but sneered, and then remembered Zhuang Xianxie and Chunde concubine. This interesting thing More people know more fun.

Early this morning, the weather was fine, and it happened to be the [-]th day. All the concubines and concubines went to Ci'an Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. It's a beauty.The empress gave the empress dowager a family salute first, and Fang stood on the right hand side of the empress dowager. After the concubines finished saluting the empress dowager and the empress and returned to their seats, the empress then asked a few words of well-being.

Before the empress and the empress dowager had a few words of jokes, the concubines below looked at each other, saw the smile in each other's eyes, and glanced at Yuan Chun, who was listless, the concubine de was originally a very eloquent Yes, so I simply talked about the Jia family's affairs and won everyone's joy.

Yuan Chun is not in good spirits recently, and his body is lazy. He didn't pay attention to what everyone said. He just wanted to sit for a while and then go back to the yard, his eyes almost closed.But who would have thought that at this time she saw Concubine Zhen Xian looking at her, that gaze made her extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but feel a little terrified, and she suddenly became more energetic, her ears and eyes were much clearer, and then she heard the person next to her say the word Jia Baoyu, and she couldn't help but Somewhat suspicious, she leaned towards the Concubine De who was speaking, and only then listened to her. She was frightened out of her wits, her complexion changed drastically, and her face paled.

The Empress Dowager had noticed the commotion here early on, seeing that Concubine Zhuang Xian's face was ugly, and then looked at Concubine De, she understood somewhat in her heart, but she was also somewhat happy, so she simply asked: "You all What interesting things are you talking about? Tell me about it too!"

The Concubine Wu Gui stood up, glanced at Yuan Chun, saw her ugly face, she couldn't help being in a good mood, and saluted with a smile: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers are talking about the story of Zhuang Xian's younger brother, is it really true?" It’s an eye-opener, and it’s much more exciting than the playbooks and storytellers.”

Yuan Chun was terrified, and immediately left his seat and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager, feeling his heart beating wildly and his whole body dripping with cold sweat.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Yuan Chun, and then asked Wu Guitai Concubine: "What's so interesting about making Concubine Zhuang Xian kneel down to my palace like this, seeing that Concubine Zhuang Xian's pitiful appearance is frightening, is there any hidden secret behind it?"

Concubine Wu Gui has always been at odds with the Jia family, not to mention that the concubine Zhuang Xian used to show off her power in front of her every day. When she saw the empress dowager asking about it, she wished to embarrass Jia Yuanchun. Don’t forget a few words from the sky: “Some words are really hard for my concubine to say. I just feel that if my ears are dirty, I won’t dirty the ears of the Queen Mother and all the younger sisters. If you don’t believe me, you can ask about it. I It's not like deliberately making Empress Zhuang Xian look bad, isn't it? Everyone in the capital knows about these things."

The Empress Dowager looked at Yuan Chun who was kneeling on the ground, and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes, which quickly disappeared, and then said to Concubine Wu Gui gently: "Sit down first, this matter is not too big to think about at first. Gong Dao knows a little bit about it, after all, these rumors are not true." Turning his head, he ordered Chen Shangshu who was standing beside him: "Chen Shangshu, send this palace order to Mrs. Xuanlin to come to the palace to have an audience."

Chen Shangshu responded, retreated, and announced Yi's decree.

The Empress Dowager asked Chunde's concubine Baochai again: "Chunde's concubine, I asked you something, and you answered it truthfully. You also lived in Jia's house for a period of time before, and you are a smart person. Tell me about this." Whether the rumors are true or not. Is this Jia Baoyu like what the concubines said, but at a young age, he is not taboo against men and women, and he is extremely stubborn and refuses to obey discipline?"

Baochai suddenly felt bad, her face turned pale, and she hurried out of the queue, bowing down to Ruyi, although she was as old as flowers and tender willows, but she had a character of Tai, who needed to be compared with those 34-year-old grandparents. The concubine is generally replaced with a dark and rich one.But for some reason, she is still wearing bright colors, and she has added a squirrel cloak with a bat edge. Her face looks a little rosier than when she first entered the palace, and her figure is a little out of shape and a little rich. , hurriedly kowtowed, thought for a while, and said eloquently: "The concubine really doesn't know how Cousin Jia is. Although the concubine and this cousin are related, there is a difference between men and women. During the stay at Jia's house, I seldom communicate with each other." Then he hesitated for a while before saying: "At most, I met once or twice at the banquet, and I can't see anything."

The Empress Dowager looked at Yuan Chun with a half-smile: "Princess Chunde is polite. I wanted to ask how old Jia Baoyu was, but although I am old, my memory is not as good as before. But Jia Baoyu was born in Hanyu. Shocking the world, it is a rare happy event, but I can't forget it, so the age is very clear to me, even before the Chunde concubine entered the palace, this Jia Baoyu was already over seven years old. Jia Baoyu is still messing around in the inner courtyard, so it's useless. However, Jia Zhuangxian's tutor is also very interesting."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager pursed her lips, and immediately put away her original smiling face and became serious, her tone was also extremely dissatisfied, "I know that Concubine Zhuang Xian has also raised my own younger brother." The Empress Dowager stopped talking and just patted the armrest, "Jia's Yuanchun, He De, how can he take on this virtuous character. From today on, you can just copy the palace rules in the courtyard and reflect on yourself."

The Empress Dowager ignored Yuan Chun who was already slumped on the ground, and turned to Baochai again: "Forget it, I don't talk about you now, after all, I have an imperial heir, but I can't be the concubine that I wanted to be. I’m afraid I can’t take it anymore, so I’ll just rest in your yard.” The Empress Dowager added an accent to the word rest, “When the emperor’s heir is born and you get the imperial edict, you can come out again. Hurry up, don’t you? Help Mrs. De to go back."

It's just that all the concubines couldn't care less about the second concubine's joke at this time. After the word "emperor's heir" was uttered, their expressions became extremely ugly, and the silk handkerchief in their hands was almost torn into rags. After becoming the heir of the emperor, all of them stared at Baochai. Baochai felt a thorn in his body, but he didn't dare to raise his head to make another statement. Caressing her unconcealed belly, she walked out of Ci'an Palace with the help of the maid.

The Empress Dowager was also satisfied with Baochai's sense of taste. Now that she had dealt with Concubine De, the Empress Dowager turned to Yuan Chun below. Concubine Jia Xian should go back to the hospital to reflect on herself!"

Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Chun felt his heart was in a mess, his palms and back were covered with sweat, and he managed to clear his head. His younger brother, Baoyu, was ignorant and promiscuous. Refutation, every single one of these piles will bring her down, she is already walking on thin ice, and she still has to protect the glory of the whole family, but unexpectedly such a thing happened in the family first, how did it become like this!Could it be that others are jealous of Baoyu's youth and talent, and deliberately want to ruin Baoyu with rumors!Such thoughts are truly vicious!

After saluting, the two powerful nuns were going to drag Yuan Chun with their strength. Yuan Chun had already figured it out, so he hurriedly broke away from the nuns, climbed down to the throne step by step, kowtowed his head, and cried with all his strength: "The empress dowager, my minister!" The concubine begged the empress dowager to investigate this matter thoroughly. This must be a frame-up against the concubine's younger brother. Baoyu was brought by the concubine until he was five years old. I am very clear about his behavior. Besides, he was born with jade, and his family regards him as a treasure , Chenqie's elder brother died early, and Chenqie's parents only have such a son-in-law, who only studies at home and takes care of his daily life. How can someone spoil him? He is young and ignorant, and because The elders in the family dote on them, so it is inevitable that they may act carelessly, but it is absolutely impossible to be so absurd! I beseech the Empress Dowager, and restore the innocence of my concubines and the Jia family."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "I don't know where your self-confidence comes from. What's more, I don't know when Jia Baoyu can represent the Jia clan. Could it be that he has become the patriarch? Well, Chen Nushi has already gone to the Lin Manor , just wait for her!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't order Yuan Chun to get up. The waitress next to him was so clever, and she brought the brewed tea to the empress dowager. Try it, and give it to all the empresses!"

All the concubines borrowed the words of the Empress Dowager, and they all stayed to drink tea and laugh, waiting to see Jia Taipin's jokes, hoping that Jia Min would come quickly.

After more than half an hour, Chen Nvshi who came back walked up to the Empress Dowager and whispered something in the Empress Dowager's ear. The Empress Dowager nodded and put down the tea bowl in her hand.

Looking back, Yuanchun saw Jia Min wearing a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, which is only a first-class order, coming slowly, holding the willow, but with a noble air. Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Jin An, Empress Empress Jin An."

The empress dowager hurriedly smiled and stretched out her hand to support her: "Be flat, give me a seat!" The empress also extended her hand to give her a hand and nodded as a gesture.

Jia Min was sitting on the chair prepared by the maid, waiting for the Queen Mother to ask questions.The Empress Dowager said kindly: "I'm sending you here today just to ask a few words, don't be so reserved, just sit back and answer."

Jia Min stood up and said politely: "The minister obeys Yizhi." Fang Youying sat down again, and when she got up, she had already looked at everyone and recognized that the person kneeling on the ground was Yuan Chun, thinking to herself: Could it be that something related to her up?

The Empress Dowager asked: "Did you go to Rongguo Mansion on the third day of the Lunar New Year because of Jia Baoyu's beating?"

Jia Min only felt his heart skip a beat, his face was still smiling like a spring breeze, he remained calm, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Exactly, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the minister's wife returned home, and after the minister's wife went home Knowing that Baoyu was unsatisfactory in her homework test, she was taught by her second brother. The second brother is the best face. I am afraid that because of the husband and his father and son's presence, they lost face and lost their sense of control. The wife went over to comfort her mother, and also told Master Li of Guozixue that she wanted to find a great Confucian teacher for Baoyu to make up for it, so that she could make up for it." Jia Min's tone fluctuated slightly, and he was careful, both It doesn't appear that Jia's family is rude, and it doesn't let Lin Jiaping lose his status in vain.

The Empress Dowager saw that Jia Min was neither humble nor overbearing, and that his words and deeds were extremely measured, so she liked it a little bit, and just cut off her mouth and said: "I heard that you were told by Mrs. Jia before you said it. "

Jia Min couldn't help being a little surprised, and the jade hands in the sleeves were slightly retracted, how could the people in the palace know about such things, could it be that even these things have been spread into the palace?Jia Min hurriedly got up, knelt down and bowed to Ruyi, and then said: "It turns out that the minister's wife is inevitably inconsiderate, and the mother of the minister's wife only said a few angry words. sins."

The empress dowager was noncommittal, and she didn't say anything, so she turned around and asked Yuan Chun with a cold face: "Now do you understand? I will give you another chance, should I accept the punishment honestly, or should I continue to find someone else?" Let’s find out, did you make brother Baoyu act improperly, or did he spread rumors to cause trouble?”

Yuan Chun had just heard Jia Min's reply, and felt like falling into an ice cave, and couldn't help but think of what Jia's mother had mentioned to her before. It must be that Jia Min didn't like Baoyu, which made him stumble. He couldn't help glaring at Jia Min, and asked loudly: "Why did Auntie say that? Anyway, Baoyu wanted to call you Aunt, and he didn't think about the family relationship at all. Since it was just two angry words, why did the city know about it? Hurt, what a generous and loving person my grandmother is, how can my aunt treat my own mother like this. Even if my grandmother and aunt mentioned the matter of getting married, it’s okay if my aunt doesn’t want to accept the marriage, but why should I do this? , to tarnish Baoyu's reputation!"

Before Jia Min could react, the empress dowager was already furious, and said, "Presumptuous, come, let me slap her! Not to mention that you are just a fourth-rank concubine, what qualifications do you have to question Mrs. Yiming Gaoming?" , has violated the law of the country. As a junior, questioning my aunt is a crime of tongue-in-cheek, and even more so, it is unfilial! What's more, to get rid of the crime is to put a crime on my aunt, and to tarnish the girl's reputation , It’s really disgusting. This palace is really an eye-opener today, I have never heard of a dude with no fame before who dares to rely on his power and relatives to marry the first-rank Shangshu’s concubine daughter! It’s really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, I don’t know what it means!"

The queen hurriedly supported the queen mother, and said again: "Aren't you going to do it?" Two nuns stepped forward to hold Yuan Chun together, and another nun who was in charge took out her handy palm and stood in front of Yuan Chun, Then another nanny came and took off all of Yuan Chun's hairpins and handed them to the maid beside her, and then she saluted and sang: "Mrs. Jia De's words are rude, she offended the Queen Mother, and she has twenty palms! Execution!"

After finishing speaking, I saw the clattering sound of the mothers' stools, hard and fast, but it was only a cup of tea time, twenty strokes passed, Yuan Chun only looked a little disheveled, and his face was slightly red and swollen.But these nuns are incompetent, they work hard, because the Queen Mother has long stated that she wants to teach Yuan Chun a lesson, but she can't do it too obviously, so although it looks fine, she has loosened her gums with her internal strength In the future, as long as you don't pay attention to eating, your teeth will become loose and painful.In addition, even the swollen face will be three or four days later, so naturally no one would think of what happened today.

The concubines who had just entered the palace all turned their faces away and couldn't bear to look at them. The four concubines only felt that they had let out a sigh of relief, and looked at each other with a hint of complacency.After the execution was over, the executioner had kowtowed and left.Yuan Chun was speechless at this time, and felt staring at him.

The Empress Dowager saw that Yuan Chun was dripping with tears and snot, and she didn't look like she used to. She felt sick and said, "Don't drag me back to the courtyard, I won't get out without an edict." The two mothers followed and dragged Yuan Chun away.

Now that Yuan Chun had left, the Empress saw that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit deserted, so she hurriedly said in the Empress Dowager's ear: "Empress Mother, did the concubine Xian just offend Mrs. Lin, would you like to give me some rewards as a comfort?"

The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "Exactly, you reminded me that I was so confused by Jia's anger just now, I didn't expect this level. However, if you reward Mrs. Lin, you might as well reward her dear daughter." .My palace, I like Dai'er very much too!" After finishing speaking, she asked Chen Nushi to give it out: a pair of jade ruyis, a hairpin with emerald pearls, two boxes of fresh palace flowers, and twelve palace fans. , several new books, and said to Wen Yan Jia Min: "You should teach Dai'er, and you will have an excellent marriage in the future."

The empress dowager vaguely let it go, and the concubines below didn't know how many times they had turned their minds.
