The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Ping'er has been serving Wang Xifeng since she was four years old. From the Wang family to Ping Wang's mansion and then into the Anluan Palace, the relationship between master and servant is somewhat closer than that between sisters. It is the other girls of the Wang family who have met Ping'er now. , you have to politely call Aunt Ping.In terms of caring and meticulous treatment of Wang Xifeng, no one in this world can compare with Ping'er.

It was precisely because of this understanding and closeness that Ping'er hesitated again and again, and when she used the scorpion to pass Wang Xifeng's hair later, she said a word that was beyond the norm: "Since the empress is tired of them, why bother to praise another one?" Is it an eyesore? Not to mention that people's hearts are changeable, but they are quiet outside the palace, and people are in front of your eyes. And at home, the wives and grandmas should have endless things to talk about."

Although most members of the Wang family still live in Jinling, their ancestral home, the number of houses in Beijing is far from that of the Jia family, and the number of married people from several generations is also very considerable. There are even more wives and grandmas, and most of them depend on Wang Ziteng and his brothers for a living.Since Wang Xifeng really entered the palace and became a golden phoenix, these wives and grandmas have been more diligent in running to the house. There are always some who feel that their girls are outstanding and want to climb high.

In the past, when there was a prince overbearing, the members of the royal family could only hold back no matter how many thoughts they had, and they would never dare to touch the fate of the family.But ever since the emperor took advantage of Wang Xifeng's miscarriage to open Jinkou and wanted the emperor to fill the harem, Wang Ziteng himself also changed his mind.

According to Mrs. Wang Zisheng's concealed meaning, they deliberately selected one or two girls with beautiful looks and slender fathers and brothers from the side branch, and brought them back to the mansion. .Even though he didn't say the rest clearly, Wang Xifeng guessed it with his shrewdness.Obviously, the family felt that she was over twenty and had a miscarriage again, and was afraid that her aging face would no longer be able to spread branches and leaves for His Majesty, and benefit the family in the future.

No matter how the Wang family's current plan made Wang Xifeng feel cold, but since the Wang family had this idea, and Wang Xifeng rejected it face to face, if there was another incident about the girl from the Jia family going to the Anluan Palace and entering the palace, Even if there are other reasons, there will be a rift between the Wang family and Wang Xifeng.

And even though the concubine of the Jia family is like a rootless duckweed at the moment, she is at the mercy of others, but once she is favored, the Jia family has two hereditary titles after all, so she will never stand aside and watch.And in case Jia Lian really escaped, the favored next-door cousin is also a sister, even if the two rooms in Rongguo Mansion are not harmonious, and the word Li is the first word, who knows if Jia Shilang is a prime minister who can pull a boat in his stomach and laugh at others? Enmity?

Just to disgust Jia Yuanchun, this is a bit too risky.

The lights were heavy, Wang Xifeng raised his eyes and looked at Ping'er in the mirror.Although Ping'er didn't say the rest, she understood it.Their master and servant have been together in one courtyard after another, year after year, and there are many things to say.

With a sudden smile, Wang Xifeng stared at her still plump and charming face for a moment, and suddenly asked something irrelevant: "How do you want to live in the future? You can't really be Aunt Ping for the rest of your life. If you are outside the palace, as you At your age, I should have thought of a way out for you a long time ago, or provide a room for the men, or marry a boy, not to mention that the children are not a few years younger than Ah Yuan."

In the past few years, Wang Xifeng's majesty has become more and more serious. Apart from accompanying Yang Yuan, she even seldom smiles in front of her daughter, the third princess, Ayuan. Marry a shy cardamom girl.At that time, their master and servant whispered in the middle of the night, and Wang Xifeng once said foolishly after drinking that she would give Ping'er to the future son-in-law, so that they could stay together for a long time.

Recalling the past, Ping'er's scalp felt a little numb, and he felt the bone-chilling coldness in the warm palace.She thought about it for a moment, then boldly nodded, then shook her head with a sigh, and replied softly: "This servant also wants to be like Sister Ke in the empress's palace, go out of the palace to marry a dutiful family, and then come back to the empress." I continue to serve by my side. But the empress cannot leave people here, and I am really worried, so I don't want to. Anyway, with you, even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, it's no big deal."

After so many years of master and servant, they know each other well. There is only one Ping'er in this world who can really make Wang Xifeng feel at ease and praise him. Ping'er also understands from the bottom of his heart.In all honesty, if there is such a day, Ping'er will indeed wholeheartedly help the master to win His Majesty's heart, but she is really unwilling to do so.

Wang Xifeng's temperament, not only can't tolerate relatives and servants who climbed into bed without authorization, even if she is promoted by herself, she will eventually become suspicious.Ping'er would rather not make such a big change than master and servant turning against each other at that time.

Wang Xifeng's mind was indeed looking forward to Ping'er's promise, but also afraid of Ping'er's promise.Now hearing Ping'er's blunt refusal, and not being ashamed about going out of the palace to marry a dutiful family, I couldn't help but smiled and spat at Ping'er, pretending to scold: "What a shameless girl, you actually plan on your own. It's time for life! It can be seen that I can't keep you for a few years, so hurry up and let the wives find you a good one!"

After finishing speaking, she saw that Ping'er seemed to take the opportunity to thank her, so she yawned in a hurry, covered her lips and said she was tired, and went directly to sleep on the couch, not giving Ping'er a chance to speak again.In the end, she was still afraid that if she had made a deal, it would be hard to change it later, so she could only take it as a joke and muddle through.

A few more days later, as expected by the emperor, there were two more famous official girls in the palace, one surnamed Wu and the other surnamed Zhou, their natal families were not very prominent, but they were minor officials.However, the embarrassing appearance of both of them is said to be quite favored by the imperial court, and they were both made concubines when they entered the palace.

It's just that everyone in the palace knows that since the two concubines Wu and Zhou were granted the title, they only met the Holy One once in the side hall of Hanzhang Palace, and they have never been favored again.On the contrary, the ladies who have served in front of Shengjia since the palace often see Tianyan.Relying on Yang Yuan's sympathy and daughter A Yuan's affection, Wang Xifeng received the first favor under the empress, and was lucky enough to accompany her on the incense drive once.

After talking for a long time, Wang Xifeng heard that Yang Yuan was worried about Jia Lian and his party. After consoling him with clear and generous words, he seemed to mention Jia's girl unintentionally.Although she and Jia Yuanchun had a bad relationship, they are related by marriage after all, and she had met both Yingtan and Ying Tan when they were young, so it was normal for her to mention it.

Wang Xifeng first talked about Yingchun. This is Jia Lian's direct sister, and she has always been loved by Jia Lian. When her elder brother had an accident, she naturally couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat or swallow. She copied scriptures and prayed for her brother every day, and made great wishes in front of the Buddha. Be a vegetarian and accumulate blessings.

Yang Yuan had heard Jia Lian mention this sister, and he was very pleased with the marriage between Jia He's family, so he really listened to the words, and sighed for Jia Lian, saying that there is always a sister in the world who really misses him, and it's not in vain With all his hard work in the past, he ordered Wang Xifeng to give a reward to the Spring Festival once in a while, so that he could set an example for others.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng should be, and then she mentioned Tanchun with a charming smile, saying: "There are two sisters in this mansion. I heard that they live and eat together, and they are very close. The second girl is friendly, and the third girl is also friendly." As for one place, I don’t feel lazy at all in helping my cousin. Although I am domineering, I also know how to deal with the matter, it’s not good to only reward one and miss the other, and I have to pay for it myself to make up for the third girl.”

Wang Xifeng smiled charmingly, but Yang Yuan paused while eating tea, took a deep look at her and didn't answer, then smiled and talked with his daughter A Yuan for a while, then got up and went back to critique papers.
