The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Today it is said that the empress has a decree, but Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch who will not go out of the palace to deliver the decree for a year or two, also came together, so it is self-evident who is behind it.For the sake of decency and the inhumanity of the idea in everyone's mind, not only all the masters of Rongguo Mansion were present, but even Jia Rongzhen from Dong Mansion hurried over, smiling and wanting to help.

Although Jia's mother was angry that Rong's daughter-in-law, Zhen Shi, said that she couldn't avoid her illness so far, she also vented her anger on Jia Rong, but she couldn't get angry with the younger generation in front of Xia Shouzhong and others, so she could only smile with a loving elder. Look at Jia She, Jia Rong and others surrounding Xia Shouzhong and another general manager Qin to show their courtesy and do their best to flatter them.She wanted to say something about Sun Baoyu, but unfortunately Jia Baoyu was a little absent-minded, so she could only rest her mind, lest she say a word badly, and instead let the top-notch arouse the hatred of these eunuchs.

When Mrs. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang arrived in a hurry, the Jia family all knelt down respectfully, and then the Qin eunuch next to the queen gave way to Xia Shouzhong, and read the queen's edict aloud.

Different from Concubine Zhen's unsalty and plain joke attitude, the queen's words were much more sincere.First, he praised Jia Lian for his loyalty and achievements, and then praised Mrs. Xing for his meritorious service in teaching. Then he changed the subject and talked about the accidental disappearance of Jia Lian. Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, etc., must stabilize the inner house so as to fulfill women's virtues and relieve men from worries.Afterwards, there were various rewards, among which Mrs. Xing and Yingchun received more than three times more than their contemporaries, sisters-in-law and so on.

Mother Jia already knew that His Majesty valued Jia Lian very much, but she did not expect that His Majesty would still take care of his family like this now that Jia Lian did not know whether he was alive or dead.Surprised, she couldn't help crying. At one moment, she was afraid that Jia Lian would die young, and the family's revival of prestige would be far away. At the same time, she regretted that she hadn't tried to stop Jia Lian and asked him to take such a terrible job. , but forgot all the sporadic expectations placed on Yuan Chun.

The rest of Li Wan and the others, although they didn't have much worry about Jia Lian's life and death in their hearts, they were all very happy because of this reward at the moment, knowing that this big family should not be dragged down by Yuan Chun and see evil from the royal family. up.

Director Qin had announced Yi's decree, and kindly bent down to help Jia's mother up, but Xia Shouzhong, who had always been willing to treat Jia and Jia Lian and his son differently, suddenly smiled and looked at Jia Zheng, who was grateful for Mu Tianen. , said in a sharp voice: "Speaking of which, our family and Jia Shilang are considered acquaintances. I am very grateful for Jia Shilang's loyalty to the Holy One and his ability to handle errands. Jia Yuanwai is also a loyal and patriotic person. I think he is the same as our family. It's not easy to be sympathetic to Jia Shilang. I'm so busy with business every day, and no one is impatient with bad things happening at home, don't you think so?"

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he couldn't bear to listen to Jia Zhengcheng's dissecting his loyal heart with trepidation. He took the purse from Lin Zhixiao silently with a shake of his hand, and exchanged a few words with Jia She. According to the sky, the general manager of the pre-Qin Dynasty took a step back and returned to the palace to return to his order.

Jia Zheng didn't understand Xia Shouzhong's implication until he was dizzy and sent the two eunuchs in charge.

"Yuan girl is very disrespectful, but you have passed today." Mother Jia has aged a lot these days, and even when she is facing her most beloved son, she can't lift up her spirits: "Since she should not die , you don’t want to meddle in this matter anymore, in the back house, it’s not something that you men should be distracted from, and what that person means is to let us not deal with it first.”

As Jia Mu spoke, she raised her finger and pointed to the sky, and nodded slightly to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng has always been obedient to Jia's mother. After hearing the words, he was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. Jia Baoyu was three points more diligent in her homework than before, forcing Jia Baoyu to run in front of Jia's mother, making a fuss.

This time, Jia's mother didn't indulge Jia Baoyu any more, but asked Jia Amnesty for some books and notes that Jia Lian had used when studying, and repeatedly urged Jia Baoyu to make progress.Jia Baoyu continued to make trouble by being favored, so she wiped away her tears frequently and said, "If you can be half as sensible as your Lian's second brother, I will go to see the old man right away." I studied hard for a few days.

After waiting for another half a month, seeing that the Wang family really stopped coming to talk about Yuanchun, Zhou Rui's family was sent back with all hands and feet, and returned to Mrs. Wang's side to serve, and Mother Jia put her heart back completely. In his belly, he gave Yuan Chun a second-class girl named Yingge'er in the house.

Jia's mother drew a dao, obviously she put aside her previous affairs, Madam Wang hurriedly chose a girl and woman in the courtyard for her according to Yuan Chun's old practice before entering the palace, and arranged Yuan Chun's original furniture, decorations and jewelry They were all moved out of the warehouse and carried to the Baosha for her use.

After tidying up with such great fanfare for three or two days, everyone in the mansion knew that Yuan Chun was still the big girl in the mansion. Although the girls in Yuan Chun's room were not as decent as those in Yingchun's room when they walked around the mansion, they were better than those in Yingchun's room. The ones at Tanchun are stronger, but life is going well.

When the strangle marks on Yuanchun's neck were almost gone, Yingchun Tanchun and Xue Baochai brought their own thoughts and came over to visit together, chatting with Yuanchun and making fun of it.

Both Yingchun and Tanchun brought needles and threads, but Xue Baochai was more meticulous. He not only brought a few squares of hang silk handkerchiefs, but also brought three coins of official swallows. The reason is that although there is nothing lacking here in Yuanchun, what is their family doing? Yes, it is better than those found outside, and it is the most nourishing. He also said that Yuanchun "if you eat well, just let someone come and get it", which is very intimate.

She and Yuan Chun are two aunts and sisters who are direct relatives, and it is natural that they are closer than Yingchun and Tanchun when they get along. Yuan Chun thanked Xue Baochai with a smile, but couldn't help but look at Xue Baochai a few more times.

In terms of demeanor and figure, Xue Baochai can be said to be somewhat similar to Yuan Chun, they are all dignified and plump, gentle and generous.Such a girl with smooth muscles and bones, elegant manners, and high spirits is probably the taboo of the ladies in the palace.

Yuan Chun thought a lot in his heart, but his face was still silent and gentle, just quietly listening to the sisters talking about the interesting things about the people they have known in the mansion over the years.She hurt her throat, she should have rested in peace and kept quiet.

Yuan Chun's life outside the palace temporarily calmed down, but Wang Xifeng lost his temper a few times in the palace. Ping'er, who he relied on the most, had to find a way to talk to Xia Shouzhong's godson, so as to find out why the Holy Majesty intervened in this matter. , so as not to accidentally commit a taboo.
