[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

When Aunt Xue was at Jia Mu's place, she suddenly saw a lady who was familiar but she couldn't remember, and she couldn't help being startled.

It was Baochai who had a good memory and never forgot, so she quietly reminded Aunt Xue, "This is the wife of Mrs. Jia." With the same surname, Jia Yu was somewhat talented and learned, and had a good relationship with Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng even asked him to teach Jia Baoyu to study.

Just because he mentioned Baoyu's study, he became one of the "big lu beetles" that Jia Baoyu hated.

Also because of Jia Zheng's relationship, Jia Yucun also climbed up to Wang Ziteng, and his wife also traveled around the two houses to flatter the female relatives, and had a relationship with Aunt Xue's mother and daughter.

At this time, Aunt Xue nodded to Mrs. Jia Yucun, and she didn't talk very warmly - I heard that Jia Yucun's official position was also dismissed, so there was nothing to say.

At this time, Xiangling naturally wanted to come up to see the ladies because she was following Aunt Xue's mother and daughter.

When she walked in front of Mrs. Jia Yucun, she suddenly exclaimed, looking at Xiangling's face, she seemed to blurt out in a daze: "Miss..."

As soon as she said this address, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were all dumbfounded.

And Daiyu and Jia Mu, who had known the truth for a long time, were also taken aback by this natural and flawless acting.

It's easy to say.

Wei Ren found Jia Yucun and asked his wife to come forward to recognize Xiangling—without promising any benefits, Wei Ren just told him coldly that if this matter was not handled properly, Xue Pan, whom he sentenced arbitrarily in the past, would kill someone. The case of forcibly buying Xiangling will be sent to the emperor the next day.

The emperor had just abolished Wang Ziteng's family. If he saw this murder case that was judged indiscriminately for the sake of Wang Ziteng's face, one can imagine what would happen to Jia Yucun.

So Jia Yucun, who was still hovering in the capital, was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he quickly agreed, and said that he did not dare to stay in the capital to seek a job.He also promised Wei Ren repeatedly that he knew Mrs. Zhen Shiyin, and he also knew the old address of their residence. When he returned to Jinling, he would definitely inquire and send someone to Beijing to deliver the letter.

In this way, there is Mrs. Jia Yucun's passionate performance here: I really have to be careful, if the performance is not good, the husband will be gone.

At this time, her eyes were full of tears, and she grabbed Xiangling's hand: "Miss, why are you in this mansion? Where have you been all these years?"

Mother Jia, who had known the truth from Daiyu for a long time, handed over a sentence at the right time: "Mrs. Jia, what's wrong with you? This girl, Xiangling, was bought by Mrs. Xue's family when she went to Beijing. How can she be your young lady? You I'm afraid I have identified the wrong person."

Mrs. Jia Yucun let go of Xiangling temporarily, and only sobbed at Mother Jia: "Mr. Shi doesn't know something. My master is from a poor family, and I am from a bad family. I used to be a maidservant of the Zhen family, a wealthy gentry in Jinling. My original name is Jiao Xing. of."

"Back then, the master of the Zhen family also sponsored our master to go to Beijing to take the exam to become an official. Later, the master got the honor and went back to the Zhen family to propose marriage."

Jiao Xing looked back at Xiangling again, and said with tears in her eyes, "Shi Taijun, my old master Zhen's master and wife are the most charitable characters, but they were born childless all their lives, and only got a young lady when they were middle-aged. Cute, especially the rouge mole the size of a grain of rice between the eyebrows looks the best."

"When Miss Piansheng was five years old, on the Lantern Festival, she was taken out to play by that stupid family member, and then she was kidnapped by a kidnapper, and there has been no news since then. The poor master of the Zhen family has gone crazy and followed the monk's way. I've gone to become a monk." Jiao Xing turned her head and pulled Xiang Ling up again: "Miss, you are so pitiful, why did you get kidnapped!"

Besides, among these people, Xiang Ling was the most shocked.

She was kidnapped when she was young, and she can't remember the specific family and parents, but she knows that she is not the kidnapper's own daughter, but she was scared of being beaten by him since she was a child. Life is bitter.Today, he was suddenly recognized by someone, and he heard the strange lady in front of him talk about his biological parents.

So, do I have a last name?So my surname is Zhen?

Xiangling held Jiao Xing's hand backhanded, and asked repeatedly: "Then what's my name? What's my name?" Ever since she was abducted by a kidnapper, she was given several random names, all because of the kidnapper thinking of officials. The name of the girl that people like is random, and they want to sell her.

It wasn't until she arrived at Xue's house that Baochai named her Xiangling, and she kept calling her that.

Originally, when the Jia family talked about her, they only said: "Is it the little girl who often talked about the little girl who bought it when she was going to Beijing and fought for her life?"[1]

Jiao Xing looked at her, although most of them were acting at this time, crying for Jia Yucun, but looking at Xiangling's pale face touched her heart, she said softly: "Yinglian, what are you called?" Yinglian. The heroic Ying, the lotus of the lotus, this is the name that the master of the Zhen family has been thinking about for a long time."

Xiangling's eyes were blurred, she felt that she couldn't see anything clearly, and her mind was buzzing.

It wasn't until she felt a pair of hands gently holding her, told her to sit down, and handed her a handkerchief, that she subconsciously took it and wiped away the tears in front of her eyes.

She raised her eyes and looked at Daiyu who handed her the handkerchief in front of her. Her mind was still confused and she still called her original address: "Miss Lin...Miss Lin, actually my name is Yinglian."

One sentence brought Daiyu's tears down.

Although Jia's mother had known about it for a long time, the old man was sad to see this kind of parting, and she couldn't help but shed a few tears along with it.

In the whole room, only Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were left, and they were shocked.

Aunt Xue managed to regain her voice: "Xiang Ling found her background, which is also a happy event..."

Jiao Xing came here with a mission, how could Aunt Xue mess up her important affairs first, and immediately answered: "Mrs. When you were in Jinling, you even visited your wife, and now she is living in your grandfather's house."

"Our husband and wife just want to go back to our ancestral home recently. Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely deliver you to Madam's hands safely, so that you mother and daughter can be reunited!"

Aunt Xue was startled: What, are you going to take people away?Wait, Xiangling was bought by our family with money, it is my son Xue Pan's concubine!

So she said, "Mrs. Jia, this..."

Jiao Xing interrupted the spellcasting again: "Mrs. Xue, just don't worry, I swear on my life that I will definitely send Miss Yinglian back, otherwise I will die badly."

This heavy oath shocked Aunt Xue so much that she immediately forgot what she was going to say.

On the other hand, Xue Baochai has always been a quiet person. Seeing Mrs. Jia Yucun's appearance about to take her away, she said in a deep voice, "We understand Mrs. Jia's feelings for the old benefactor. It's just that our family bought Xiangling and signed a contract to sell herself." When I signed the contract, I didn’t know that she was a lady from a squire’s family, but I just thought she was a poor family who had no way to survive.”

Only then did Aunt Xue come to her senses: "That's right, that's right. I also like Xiangling, and even openly asked her to be my son's concubine."

Jiao Xing seemed to be taken aback by these changes, and then she burst into tears, holding Xiangling and crying her heart broke, crying "my poor lady" for a while, and "God damn kidnapper" for a while.

The crying Xue family mother and daughter couldn't get in a word.

It was she who stopped by herself and said to Aunt Xue: "Mrs. Xue, please be merciful. The court rule is that 'a girl who is a concubine can be traded'. Please resell the young lady's deed of sale to our family, we are willing Pay a hundred times ten times the silver!"

Just as Aunt Xue was about to refuse, she heard Jiao Xing crying louder again: "Mrs. Xue, Miss Yinglian's mother is the mistress I once served, and thanks to her grace, she returned my favor. The deed of selling my life is what makes me the wife of today, how can I not repay such a great favor?"

"Last time I watched, the madam almost went blind from crying because of the loss of the young lady! Besides, she was originally a middle-aged girl, and she is already in her sixties now. If it is two years later, even if the young lady goes back, I can’t see you anymore! I’m really going to die, please show kindness to Mrs. Xue, we can give you as much money as you want!”

Aunt Xue's headache is dying: Speaking of this, do I have to stop Xiangling from leaving, so that my mother-in-law can't die with peace of mind'?

Although it is legal to sell the contract in the hands of the Xue family, it is unreasonable.

Aunt Xue was not a quick-witted person, so she couldn't help but go to see Baochai.But Baochai can think of a way: for example, if everyone is from Jinling, the Xue family can also take Xiangling back to meet relatives, instead of following outsiders.

But helplessly, Mother Jia, Daiyu and the others were watching here. As a girl who has not left the court, it is not easy for her to deal with her brother's concubine, so she had to look back at Aunt Xue.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and tried to communicate with their eyes.

At this moment, Mother Jia spoke again, comforting Jiao Xing: "Mrs. Jia, don't be in such a hurry. You don't know that although Mrs. Xue's family is an imperial merchant, she is not the one who thinks only in her heart. Merchants of silver, their family is also the most charitable."

"If it's a concubine with children, it's fine, but Xiangling is also a young girl. She was bought for a few years, and she was originally childless. Now that she has found her own family, her mother is still sick. Of course, she is asked to go back to fulfill her filial piety. "Jia Mu and Yan Yuese looked at Jiao Xing, whose face was full of tears, and said: "And you don't need to say anything, ten times a hundred times the money to redeem people."

"Families like ours are those maids who have been sold to death. As long as they are old enough to be redeemed by someone in the family, most of them will be taken back by their parents without even asking for money from the sale, so that the whole family can accumulate virtue."

Jiao Xing just wiped away her tears, returned to the appearance of the official wife, and saluted Jia Mu: "In that case, I would like to thank Shi Taijun for your kindness." Then she thanked Aunt Xue: "It can be seen that Mrs. Xue is also kind and kind. people."

Aunt Xue: ...Is there any room for me to speak?I see that your questions and answers are not all arranged clearly?

Seeing this, Baochai couldn't do anything about it, so she walked aside and said to Xiangling in a gentle voice, "You should go home to see your mother, but this is also your home. I can come back."

Aunt Xue also nodded when she heard the words: "What your girl said is that Xue's family is also yours."

After all, Xiangling is already Xue Pan's concubine, so even if she goes back, can she marry another woman?

Jiao Xing couldn't help but glanced at Baochai, subconsciously felt that this girl was not easy to deal with, and she was afraid that things would be messed up and her husband would go to prison for the New Year, so she hurriedly said: "If Mrs. Send someone to pack up Miss's personal belongings, as for the gold and silver in your residence, Mrs. Xue can rest assured that they will keep all of them."

Things have come to this, Aunt Xue can't help but feel that to be a good person is to do it to the end, and it's meaningless to hold on to someone's contract of prostitution for a few days, so she said: "Okay, this girl's contract of prostitution is kept in the cage, and I will take it when I turn back." Come to Mrs. Jia."

After watching the whole scene, Jia Mu nodded in satisfaction and said, "I knew Mrs. Xue was the most kind." Daiyu also nodded beside her, "Grandmother said so."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue thought, "Forget it, it's not a loss to give up a Xiangling in exchange for the goodwill of the Jia family and the Lin family."

Anyway, Xue Pan has already made a serious marriage, and when the time comes when his wife enters the house, she only says that she can make a good profit with Xia's family by dismissing the occupants in advance, and she doesn't lose money after all the calculations.

Aunt Xue put a smile on her face again.

Only Baochai always felt that it was a bit too coincidental.It's just that the situation is here, it's all right for Baochai, and he won't fight with Jiamu or Daiyu because of Xiangling.

Seeing that both of them sympathized with Xiangling very much, and shed tears together, if the Xue family held him tightly, they would offend him again.

Baochai couldn't help but look at Daiyu a few more times: "Maybe we can take advantage of this matter to completely settle the old feud with the Lin family."Especially on the side of Lin Yuanzheng and Lin Youyi, if the stalemate continues, the Xue family's business will really collapse.

In this way, Xiangling left Lixiangyuan in Rongguo Prefecture smoothly.

As for sending Xiangling back to Jinling to find her biological mother Feng Shi, Daiyu was also worried about leaving it to Jia Yucun's family, so she still asked her father to come forward and escort Xiangling back if anyone in the family wanted to go south.

Lin Ruhai thought for a while: "I originally thought that Fan Xiaoqing had been here for a few years, and he should go back to see his parents. It just so happened that I would give him a few months this time, and let him go back and forth. Although Xue's family is releasing him now, what will happen to him? Be careful and go back on your word at home, I'm afraid ordinary servants are not enough."

Lin Ruhai has heard of Xue Pan's temperament. Back then, he was able to beat people to death because of Xiangling. Seeing that the Xue family couldn't control Xue Pan, he made a fuss.

It takes a respectable steward like Fan Xiaoqing from the Lin family to take Lin Ruhai's name card all the way, to find official accommodation along the way, and to be safe with the support of local officers and soldiers wherever he passes.

Lin Ruhai was only one daughter, and hearing Xiangling's story was the most emotional: If they lost Daiyu back then, they might not be able to live.

Daiyu was relieved when she heard that, Fan Steward was the most famous.

Lin Jiang, on the other hand, was thinking about the symptoms that elderly women often have. He brought a pack of common pills to see Xiangling, and told her to go back and see her mother. Seek her out.

Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Xiangling: "Accordingly, you can decide your own future path. The Xue family wants you to go back again."

"But I want to tell you something, the Xue family's new marriage to the Xia family... the girl from the Xia family is not someone who can accommodate a concubine. If you want to go back, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot."

Women in this day and age are very thoughtful, even though Xue Pan is that kind of person, he doesn't know Xiangling's own thoughts.

But Xiangling is a clever person after all, she is not the kind of foolish person who says "marry a chicken and follow him, I will follow him for the rest of my life after I marry him, even if I am beaten to death by domestic violence" .

In the short two days she was waiting to go back to Jiangnan, she even figured out that the idea of ​​saving herself in this way should not be the idea of ​​Jia Yucun and his wife.

Because after leaving the gate of Rongguo Mansion that day, he was handed over to the Lin family, and Mrs. Jia Yucun never appeared again.

He didn't care about himself as much as he cried at Jia's house that day.Thinking about Daiyu's appearance that day and Jiamu's words, Xiangling knew that it should be the Lin family who learned of her life experience and extended a helping hand.

Xiangling nodded heavily at Lin Jiang: "Lin Yuanzheng, I was dragged away by the Xue family at that time. I thought, maybe this is my fate. I don't know where my parents are from. I was beaten by kidnappers when I was young. Later, I was beaten by the son who bought me—but now that I have come out and know my parents, I will never live in Xiangling again."

She is Yinglian, Zhen Yinglian.

Speaking of which, although Xiangling had never met Lin Jiang before, Lin Jiang was very famous in Jia's house that day, so Xiangling had heard of it of course.

She is also deeply envious that Lin Yuan is able to go out to be an official, and can become a person who is so important that the Jia family and the Xue family will tolerate it.

Looking at her, Xiangling summoned courage in her heart: Maybe I can't be such an important person, but from now on, at least I can be a person.

No longer a little girl who was bought by someone and couldn't do anything.

--

This year's new year is not the same as before.

Both Lin Jiang and Daiyu are no longer in the Lin family.

On New Year's Eve, unlike Daiyu who had to go to the palace with Prince Shao's mansion to receive the banquet, Wei Ren and Lin Jiang, two free men, ignored the rules and decency, and went back to Lin's house to celebrate the New Year with light clothes.

It's a beautiful name, to accompany Lin Ruhai and Lin Changzhou, two empty nesters.

Of course, it was mainly Lin Ruhai, who was more emotional. For Lin Changzhou, Lin Jiang was the empty-nest daughter.His father only comes back for a short time every year, and flies away the rest of the time.Even if it weren't for the rest of the people on board to celebrate the New Year, Lin Changzhou might not come back to celebrate the New Year.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai's depressed mood got a little comfort when he saw that Lin Jiang could come back: it's good to come back alone.

Moreover, as a scholar, he felt that it was a good thing to be able to enter the palace to receive a banquet. Thinking about the tedious rules that his daughter entered the palace in the first year as the concubine, he had to remember a bunch of cumbersome rules, and he had to be watched by many people, but his concern and worry were diluted. missing.

On the second day of junior high school, when Zhou Liheng and Daiyu returned to Lin's house, Lin Ruhai couldn't help asking many times if this married man had suffered any grievances.

He obviously hoped that everything would go well for his daughter, but when he saw her face and said everything was fine, Lin Ruhai felt a little sad.

This kind of father-in-law's complicated mood is not humane, Lin Ruhai has seen through it now, Lin Changzhou, who is also his father-in-law, has no heart at all, so he can only digest the complicated mood silently, and take a look at his son-in-law's face to relieve his depression.

Not to mention, Zhou Liheng's healing system works for everyone.

Looking at him, Lin Ruhai also felt a little better, her daughter will always marry, and marrying such a person is enough to comfort her father's heart.

--

And when Daiyu came back to the inner room and saw Lin Jiang, she was lying in their boudoir room, holding a pillow stuffed with flower petals in one hand, and reading the most fashionable new play outside in the other hand, so leisurely .Daiyu couldn't help saying: "My sister has had a relaxed life this year."

Lin Jiang smiled and said: "Isn't it? All the year round, in this first month, everyone in the Tai Hospital takes turns to rest."

As long as you survive the New Year's Eve feast, the imperial hospital will be more relaxed: in the first month, especially during the Lantern Festival, as long as you are not seriously ill, it is not easy to invite an imperial physician.

Lin Jiang put down the things in his hands, sat up, propped his chin and smiled at Daiyu: "I know it's not easy for you."

In the first year as a bride, she has to meet various relatives and friends.As the surname of the country, the Zhou family doesn't need too many relatives and friends.

This is because King Shao is of a higher seniority, and many royal children have to come to see him first, so that Daiyu can spend less time traveling, otherwise, she will probably be on the road for the whole New Year's Eve.

Lin Jiang comforted her: "It will be fine after this year." Everything is the most difficult when you are unfamiliar with it at the beginning.Then La Daiyu sat down again: "Sister, sit quietly for a while, and when the pulse is stable, I will take a pulse for you." This is also the daily process of the two meeting.

When Daiyu sat down to rest, Lin Jiang squatted down and took out a small barrel of wine from under the bed.

Seeing the familiar wooden barrel, Daiyu said, "This is the amber wine from Qianxiang Kingdom, and uncle brought it back this year?"

Lin Jiang nodded: "That's right. I know my sister must be tired for Chinese New Year this year. I was tired after going to the palace to receive a banquet yesterday. It will not be easy to meet relatives and friends after tomorrow. Today is only a free time. I'm going back." No one from my natal family bothers me. I have drawn up the menu, and I will accompany my sister to have a drink to relieve fatigue at night."

Waved his hands: "Let them both go drink with their father-in-law."

She had already agreed with Lin Changzhou and Lin Ruhai to ask the two father-in-laws to keep their son-in-law behind so that they could feel the gaze of the father-in-law from the abyss.

"Just don't worry, younger sister. Don't be afraid if you drink too much. I bring the hangover pills and the peach blossom cream. Even if my younger sister is drunk today, she will be sober and full of energy tomorrow morning. Looking at the prince with a face like a peach blossom." Concubine." Don't delay and continue to visit relatives.

Daiyu laughed: "Then tonight, I will stay with my sister."

She really missed this kind of life.

That night, Daiyu drank a little, and she couldn't help talking too much, and she was speechless for a while when talking about some strange relatives of the Great Zhou royal family.

What kind of tongue-in-cheek is Daiyu? Recently, she has withdrawn her knife. If she wants to be mean to others, there is really one sentence that makes people speechless.

When she talked about going to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the old concubine was not doing well, but the wife of the eldest son of her generation, who was more than ten years older than her next year, spoke extremely harshly.

Zhou Liheng and Daiyu had only been married for less than three months, and the princess of Zhongshun Palace began to ask Daiyu: When are you going to take concubines for your husband, and how many are you going to take? This cannot be delayed. The branches are scattered, and similar topics can't be talked about.

Lin Jiang spread his hands: "Who doesn't know what's going on in his house? Prince Zhongshun's son is only in his thirties, but his concubines are no less than [-]——Prince Zhongshun likes to raise a troupe, and he still has a bit of literature and art." Fan Er, he is a proper womanizer."

If it weren't for the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion not being rich enough, or the Tian Family, this Prince Zhongshun's son could open a Efang Palace and search for beauties from all over the world.

They are all in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are all wives of the prince. The wife of the prince of Zhongshun, seeing Daiyu's calm and peaceful expression, and hearing that the prince of Shao has no concubine, began to feel sour and mumbling.

"This is typical. If you don't live well, you don't want to see others." Lin Jiang just waved: "Don't talk to her."

Daiyu smiled sweetly, and her wine-colored cheeks were like rouge: "I never paid attention to her words, but she was so angry that my face changed after two words. My mother also helped me."

Speaking of which, although Concubine Shao was entertaining Concubine Zhongshun, she also listened to the exchange of the first two 'Elder Consorts'.

Seeing her daughter-in-law, with a delicate and shy bride smile, choked to death with just two words, Princess Zhongshun, Princess Shao was very happy to see it.

Before leaving, he gave him a knife, and said to Princess Zhongshun with concern: "Your complexion is not good-looking, why is it sallow and sallow?" To Princess Zhongshun: "Why don't you invite a good imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to take a look at it later in the year?" .”

If it is said that Princess Shao did it on purpose, and Princess Zhongshun was ignorant, she made up for her daughter-in-law, just nodded and said: "Exactly, I still want to entrust the favor of your family, and I want to ask Lin Yuanzheng to do it in person. Come and show me your bones." Then he glanced at his daughter-in-law and said: "Sure enough, your face is so ugly, when the time comes, please ask Lin Yuanzheng to feel the pulse and rectify it a little earlier. It's important to have two more sons."

Princess Zhongshun almost made her mother-in-law cry.

Of course, there are such red-eyed troublemakers among the royal family, and there are also good relatives.

Ju Daiyu said that Princess Qiyang is a straightforward person, and talking to her is the most flattering.

Listening to Princess Qiyang, Lin Jiang thought of Gao Qiyu, one of the biggest problems in the capital, and couldn't help asking: "The princess has been choosing for many years, and finally got a daughter-in-law. I have never met the eldest daughter of Uncle Mingyang. Grandma, how do you feel when you see it?"

In addition to being the son of the eldest princess, Gao Qiyu is also the heir of the Mingyang uncle's mansion. His wife is called Grandma Gao by everyone.

Daiyu thought for a while: "She is a very quiet and gentle girl, and she is also very beautiful. Just looking at her makes people feel very An Tian."

Lin Jiang smiled and said: "That's very good, you can't say that you can order tofu in brine and drop everything." She still remembered that Gao Qiyu was the kind of young man who went hunting with his horse, even if he almost lost his appearance by asking the eagle to flap his wings, it would not hinder him. He will still go out to play in the future, and he will still play with Haidongqing. It can be said that he will get up and tame anyone who falls off.

--

At this time, Lin Jiang didn't expect that she would meet Gao Qiyu's wife soon after the year.

Before the Lantern Festival came out, the Ci'an Palace of the Empress Dowager hurriedly called Lin Jiang over. When Lin Jiang arrived, he found that even the Emperor was there.

Princess Qiyang, Gao Qiyu's new wife, and several other valuable family members surrounded the queen mother.

If it wasn't for the Queen Mother who was sitting on the seat and weeping, Lin Jiang would have thought that something had happened to the Queen Mother.

When the queen mother saw Lin Jiang, she reluctantly suppressed her sadness, and asked Lin Jiang, "Yuan Lin, I heard from Ai's family that you have a little maid by your side as an apprentice, right?"

Lin Jiang didn't expect to hide this kind of thing from the big bosses in the palace, so he nodded generously at this time.

The queen mother asked: "Look at how she is learning. Would the Ai family send her on a long trip?"

Lin Jiang was completely confused, so she could only think about it and said: "After all, she has only studied for a short period of time, only more than a year, and what I teach her is more inclined to Qianjin. How much does she have in this regard?" If you are a skilled hand, if you are someone else, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it."

The queen mother nodded again and again: "It is the female doctor of the Qianjin Department that is the best. Besides, I don't want her to be a master of the apricot tree like you in the Linyuan. As long as she understands some women's symptoms, she can follow her back and forth closely, and take care of the patients on the way. "

Lin Jiang became more and more confused.

The eldest princess Qi Yang explained from the side: "Lin Yuanzheng, there is a letter from Fujian. My sister Xun Yang is not well. The queen mother wants to take her back to the capital to recover from her illness. I'm afraid she can't bear to travel on the way." , that's why I want to borrow Lin Yuanzheng's apprentice and let her go to Fujian."

It was only then that Lin Jiang understood: If he was only taking care of the sick, Lin Jiang would trust his little apprentice.

The matter was finalized in this way, the emperor and Princess Qi Yang were on the sidelines, and advised the queen mother not to worry too much.The emperor even promised again and again that he would bring his sister back properly, so that the empress dowager's heart would be at ease.

But Mother Chang winked at Lin Jiang, and Lin Jiang resigned and said that he would go back and order his apprentice to come to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects, and let the Queen Mother meet in person.

Sure enough, Nanny Chang came out and said, "Oh, Lin Yuanzheng didn't know that the empress dowager was in great pain. She had been thinking about Princess Xunyang for many years, but she couldn't say it out loud. Suddenly, she received a severe menstrual blood collapse from the princess. The empress dowager feels very uncomfortable because of the woman's symptoms."

In fact, Lin Jiang always felt that it was a bit against the law: she knew that the queen mother had two daughters, but the palace had only heard the name of Princess Qiyang.

Originally, Lin Jiang only thought that Princess Xunyang married far away in Fujian and hadn't returned to Beijing for many years, so she seldom heard about it.

But then gradually discovered that the palace simply couldn't mention the eldest princess.When the Supreme Emperor was around, Princess Qiyang was given extra rewards during festivals, while Princess Xunyang only received the clan rules set by the Ministry of Rites.

Not only that, the house prepared for her daughter in the former empress dowager's palace was only owned by Princess Qi Yang—ordinarily, compared with Princess Qi Yang who is in Beijing, if the daughter who is married far away is Gui Ning, she should be in the palace. There is a place to live here.

What puzzled Lin Jiang the most was that the Supreme Emperor passed away, and Princess Xunyang, who was the daughter-in-law, only reported illness from Fujian and did not rush back to the capital.

The empress dowager and the emperor always took a tacit attitude towards this, which is not surprising.

It's just that although Lin Jiang is good at gossiping, he also knows that he should not casually inquire about the royal family's private affairs, especially the family affairs of the Queen Mother, a professional palace fighting champion. Lin Jiang never intends to take the initiative to inquire.

Until now, Nanny Chang told her.

Nanny Chang was the Empress Dowager's personal servant who had been serving the Queen Mother since before she entered the palace, and she looked down upon the two princesses. At this time, she also had tears in her eyes when talking about Princess Xunyang who was ill.

"The two eldest princesses, although His Royal Highness Qi Yang is one year older, it is actually Xun Yang who is more decisive and looks more like a sister."

Nanny Chang looked at Lin Jiang: "Lin Yuanzheng and His Highness Qi Yang are common, so we can see that the Eldest Princess is not stubborn."

Lin Jiang nodded: Princess Qi Yang is a first-class noble figure in the royal family. She has been pampered since she was a child, and has a natural and straightforward temper.But the eldest princess is not a complicated and stubborn person.

In fact, Princess Qi Yang has always been as if she had never grown up. Whether it is political views or practices, she has followed the pace of her mother-in-law. 'people.

According to Nanny Chang, Princess Xunyang is not like that.

"The Supreme Emperor only has two daughters-in-law. When the two princesses were young, he loved them in general. Until the two princesses reached the age of choosing a son-in-law, the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother asked the two princesses about their wishes. After all, Some daughters in this world love the number one scholar, and some love the young general, and their hearts are different."

Of course, Princess Qi Yang is special, she loves good looks, she doesn't care about anything else, she wants her husband to be good-looking first.

Her request is actually very easy to meet. The genes of high-ranking officials have been optimized through generations. Without mutations, there are no ugly people. In addition, people depend on their clothes and horses, and they will look more graceful if they are well groomed.Therefore, it is not difficult to pick a good-looking young man from the aristocratic family.

And the Queen Mother intentionally chose an honest and gentle Uncle Ming Yang for her daughter.Sure enough, when Princess Qi Yang saw it, she said a few words, and she was willing in her heart.

But when it came to Princess Xunyang, it was a bit difficult to advance.

She can't tell who she likes, but she refuses to marry a son of an aristocratic family who is 'greasy-haired, powder-faced and ignorant'.The Queen Mother knew that this daughter had ideas, so she persuaded the Supreme Emperor not to choose an outstanding young man from Chunwei, that must not be the "bag of grass in her belly" in her mouth.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor loved the two prostitutes very much. Not only did he accept the Queen Mother's suggestion, but he even asked Princess Xu Xunyang to go out of the palace and follow Princess Shao to watch the horse riding parade of Xinke Scholars wearing red and hanging colors.

That year, Chun Wei was also a star-studded star, not only the second place in the list and Tanhua were young talents, but the top two were also a few romantic talents, and many of them were from rich families from all over the world.

The Supreme Emperor thought that he could recruit one of them to be his son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, after calling Princess Xunyang to ask, the princess didn't take a fancy to any Jinshi, but instead took a look at a long guard who escorted her out of the palace.

It's just that the Long Jinwei is not a son of an official family, but just the most ordinary bodyguard, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help being furious when he heard this.

Mother Chang also couldn't figure it out: "With so many Jinshi talents, why did the princess choose a guard? Besides, the Queen Mother had interrogated the palace servants around the princess many times, and she was sure that it was the first time the princess saw that guard. He never spoke at all." Not to mention any violations of the rules.The Forbidden Captain Long just stood with his saber in the distance, guarding the edge of the princess's car.

Lin Jiang couldn't help feeling emotional when she heard Nanny Chang say this: These grown-ups, how could they know that the girl's heart-wrenching mood may have nothing to do with anyone.

"What happened after that? Did the eldest princess leave the capital for Fujian to marry this guard?"

Mother Chang smiled wryly: "There's nothing after that. Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was angry, the princess said: If the emperor directly refers to the marriage, which family will the daughter marry, the daughter will not refuse to obey, but if you ask me what's on my mind, That's it."

"The Supreme Emperor didn't reprimand His Highness Xun Yang at that time, and just let her go back first." Nanny Chang paused and sighed: "Then that night, the Supreme Emperor killed the young guard in the name of stealing palace property."

Lin Jiang: ... The Supreme Emperor has been the Supreme Emperor since he was young. If he is unhappy, he has to find someone to chop it up.

It's just that in this way, Princess Xunyang's heart may have only been dimly moved, but she might be so excited by her father that she will never forget it.

Sure enough, Nanny Chang's next words also proved Lin Jiang's thoughts.

Princess Xunyang has always been a strong-willed girl who can also be said to be stubborn.

She has only been taught the rules and etiquette since she was a child, and she also knows in her heart that the princess's marriage is not her own willful decision. Originally, the Supreme Emperor did not agree, and she would only regret it. Maybe she married someone with this regret, and it was finally wiped out by time. I just remember the heartbeat of that little gaze.

But suddenly hearing that the guard was killed by the emperor with an excuse, the eldest princess was devastated: he did nothing wrong, he just escorted a princess out of the palace, and lost his life in vain after completing the errand, or Being branded as a thief died as a thief.And the person who gave the decree is the father who has always been loving to him.

"Afterwards, the princess went to see the Supreme Emperor alone, and no one knows what she said." Nanny Chang shook her head: "The Supreme Emperor did not discuss with the Queen Mother any more, and directly pointed the princess to a deputy counselor who was only from the fourth rank. General, also ordered him to go to Fujian immediately to serve as a general, and asked the eldest princess to accompany her husband."

Both the Empress Dowager and Princess Qiyang's pleadings were coldly dismissed by the Supreme Emperor, but Princess Xunyang didn't cry or make a fuss.

In fact, these years, whether it is the [-]th birthday of the Supreme Emperor or the [-]th birthday of the Queen Mother when Lin Jianggang arrived in Beijing, it is a good time for her to bow her head with her father and return to Beijing to visit relatives, but she is just like an ordinary clan. I wrote a booklet to the Taishanghuang, but there was no warm words in half a sentence.

The clan members only thought that Princess Xunyang had fallen out of favor with the Supreme Emperor, and the specific reason was unknown—after all, the Supreme Emperor
