[Red House] World Transformation Project

Sheng Qingzhu asked: "Are you done?"

Jia Zhu nodded and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

Sheng Qingzhu waved his hands generously and smiled, "You're welcome. By the way, Jia Xuezheng, I came to you today to discuss something important."

Jia Zhu understood, she pushed back the servants, and said, "Princess, please tell me."

Sheng Qingzhu scratched his face, a little embarrassed, and said: "Jingshu College has been short of guards recently, can you please help introduce Rong Guogong, and lend me some people to use."

The guards in her princess mansion are almost exhausted, the eldest prince and even the fourth prince who has not yet left the palace have been robbed by him of the guards, if not for the sixth prince who is still young, he might not be able to escape, it is inconvenient for Sheng Ruyue to employ people, Sheng Ruxue's Princess Mansion is still under construction, and there are not many people under her command.

It can be said that she has already robbed all the guards who can rob, and the status of the people around the emperor is not low, and she can't miss their future, so she greeted Li Zhi to find the courtiers when there was no one else, and she also Clever, although she doesn't often go to court, but she knows that if she asks Wu Ming before and after the court, she will be taken as a provocation by those courtiers if she is seen. It is better to lower her posture with the oracle, and everyone will take a step back, and it will be easy to handle .

The women's academy obviously has begun to take shape, but in fact, most of the students are civilian officials or ladies from businessmen's families. It's not discrimination of status, it's just that their minds are too complicated and chaotic, and they don't have enough deterrent power.

Some civilians can’t survive by themselves and need to sell their daughters, let alone send their children to study. It’s almost the same to send their sons to study after going bankrupt. Therefore, when these students come, many of them just want to steal things from the school and go back to subsidize their families. Some girls who study hard just want to Standing out from the crowd and serving the nobles in order to plan a future, hard work is hard work, the mind is too complicated, and it is not safe.

The small officials and merchants are even more obvious, either for her and Yuanchun Anchun, or for the guards around her, or the prince and eldest prince who sent her here, and they seldom pay attention to their studies.

And the biggest problem is that because they are all women, many dandies will sneak over when she is not around, and choose girls like concubines. Over the past few years, she has picked out several, but she wants to get angry, but those girls will blush Came here coyly to intercede with her, saying it was voluntary, what else could she do?

I can only pinch my nose and recognize it.

Therefore, she wanted to ask Rong Guogong to borrow someone.Originally, the first choice was the Rong family, but unfortunately the second princess has surrendered recently, she is too embarrassed to bother the second princess, and she has no acquaintance with the Rong family, so she should come to Jia Zhu after thinking about it, at least they have a little friendship, Yuan Chun is still his sister .

Jia Zhu also knew that the key to the matter was not her own, so she said seriously: "I will explain it to my grandfather."

Sheng Qingzhu nodded in satisfaction, hesitated for a while, and finally remembered the worldly wisdom that was almost talked about by Concubine Xie Guifei, and said: "Then I will visit the mansion another day."

Jia Zhu replied sternly: "It is an honor for the whole family to have His Highness come."

Neither of them is chatty, so there was nothing to say at this time, and they parted after saying goodbye. Jia Zhu returned to the mansion exhausted, but when he saw Youshi in the outer courtyard, he was shocked immediately and started fighting. Spiritual salute: "I have seen Sister-in-law Zhen."

Youshi's eyes were still a little red, seeing him saluting, he turned sideways to avoid the salute, and said softly: "I'm back, Qiang'er is waiting for you in the outer courtyard, I won't bother you."

Jia Zhu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Sister-in-law, go slowly?"

He scratched his head, not knowing what Jia Qiang and others wanted to do.Jia Qiang is an upright great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion. She lost her parents four years ago and was sent to Ningguo Mansion to be raised with Jia Rong. Wu Ming was still busy at that time, and immediately brought Jia Qiang back to Rong He was raised by the government, but he still got some bad habits after all. He was always raised by Wu Ming separately, and he was not often seen with them.

Jia Zhu walked to the outer courtyard and saw Jia Qiang was looking at the peach blossom tree in front of her with her chin resting on her cheek, so she stepped forward and said with a smile, "But you like these peach blossoms? Get someone to plant some in your yard tomorrow."

Jia Qiang came back to her senses, and hurriedly saluted: "Uncle really upset me, my nephew just wanted to see, how can I work for others because of such trivial matters."

He paused, then smiled shyly, and said, "However, my nephew would like to have the audacity to ask my uncle for a favor."

Jia Zhu was taken aback, and said, "Tell me."

Jia Qiang scratched her face, a little embarrassed, and said: "Although my nephew's parents passed away, I still have some concerns in my heart. I want to go back to my hometown after the next year and pay homage to my parents."

When he was in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen loved him and treated him the same as Jia Rong. He didn't dare to say that he would go back to his hometown to worship, let alone being taken to Rongguo Mansion by Duke Rong for some reason. Wu Ming's sternness made him have some shadows in his heart, and he didn't dare to mention it at this time. After talking to Youshi today, Youshi persuaded him to try, so he dared to muster up the courage to talk to Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu was stunned for a moment, unable to laugh or cry, and said, "What is this? Just go, and I'll let someone protect you with you. You too, why did you mention it now? Grandpa is busy on weekdays, and he is always informal. I'm afraid he forgot , you just put it bluntly, after all, you are also the son of the Jia family, and the whole family, why bother to be so cautious."

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, and she pursed her lips in embarrassment: "I'm just afraid of disturbing the peace of the Duke."

Jia Zhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Guo is indeed too busy on weekdays, if you have anything to do, you can come to me first."

Leaving aside how Jia Qiang thanked Jia Qiang in surprise, Jia Zhu was a little tired. He asked someone to pass the news in advance to ensure that the people who should be avoided were not there before going in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that An Chun had gone from anticipation to disappointment and finally became Puffy little round face.

Jia Zhu's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips and said, "Son, please greet my wife."

An Chun puffed his lips and got up and saluted: "Big Brother Ann." Then he ignored him.

Jia Zhu has a gentle and honest personality. His younger siblings love to pester him and ask him for things. He promises too many things. For a while, he can't figure out what he did wrong to make An Chun angry...

Slow!

Jia Zhu felt bald in his heart, and suddenly remembered that when he met the princess of Zhuxi County, he was afraid that the noble lady would be difficult to deal with, so he coaxed An Chun to tell her to go back obediently, and he bought her a sugar man to come back, and then...

He was a little guilty, because he had forgotten all about it, and he was struggling with it, and he had an idea: "An'er, you go back to your yard first, the elder brother has something to tell his wife, and I will ask someone to bring the things to you later."

An Chun was taken aback, thinking he had misunderstood Jia Zhu, and nodded embarrassedly and left. Ruan Qing asked curiously, "What is so mysterious?"

Jia Zhu lowered her voice and said, "I remember my wife bought a cook who could draw sugar figurines before, and she begged someone to make a kitten sugar figurine and send it to An Chun, and she said it was me—it was about my son. Reputation, please Mrs.

Ruan Qing: "..."

She was speechless, resisted rolling her eyes, turned her head and told Bai Ling, "Go get someone to make it and send it to An'er."

Bai Ling and Yifu also went out. Ruan Qing now only has two maidservants of the same age, Bai Ling and Thrush, who should be called nanny at her current age. Thrush Baoyu is taking care of Baoyu in the yard, and now only Bai Ling is left, and the others are all A young girl in her teens, once she went out, there were only two girls guarding the door left.

Ruan Qing waved her hand and said, "Let's go if you have nothing to do, don't disturb my rest here."

Jia Zhu smiled, her expression became a little more worried, and it took a long time before she said softly: "Madam, the Duke asked me to tell you that some clues have been found out about the abduction of An'er's sister back then. , that... is related to Jia Mei's remnants."

Ruan Qing was startled, almost unable to react.

Thinking about it, his face immediately changed.Others may not be clear, but the three of them all understand that Prince An did a good job. At that time, they gave up the investigation because it was inconvenient to kill Prince An directly. Feng Lan also ran away later. The world is so big, it is not easy for them to find someone The system can't locate non-important characters or people who have a stable relationship with them, so the matter is left alone. I didn't expect to hear news about this family here.

After Jia Zhu finished speaking, she sighed, and said softly: "Madam, just get ready, the house may be going to be rectified again."

He probably still wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment, got up, saluted and left.Ruan Qing didn't stop her, and went directly to Li Zhi and asked, "I almost forgot to ask, where did Jia Mei's two children and his niece go, and how did they get away?"

Li Zhi said: "You're only asking now. I thought you'd forgotten about it. I wanted to charge Prince An with treason and kill him, but who knew that I found out about the Empress Dowager? She left several teams back then, most of which were given to the original owner, and the rest were divided into several shares for other grandchildren, but as far as I know, she also kept a small part to find her first daughter, Princess Anle .”

Sheng Qingan, the eldest princess of Anle, was only ten years old when she was lost. She was similar in age to Prince An. My heart aches, but the princess happened four or fifty years ago. If Princess Anle is still alive, I'm afraid she will soon have a grandson.

What's more, it is still a question of whether a beautiful girl lost in ancient times can live to the age of having grandchildren.

Ruan Qing said: "So what does this matter have to do with Jia Qiong and the others?"

Li Zhi sighed, and said in a low voice: "It is said that Fenglan is somewhat similar to the Empress Dowager when she was young. They wanted Fenglan to pretend to be the granddaughter of the eldest princess, but I used her hair to make it with some royal children. Passed the paternity test, there is no relationship."

Ruan Qing: "...?"

Brave enough, my good fellow, if this is discovered, a few lives will not be enough for Li Zhizai.

Now the only ones who have seen the Empress Dowager and have an impression of her are the generation of the Emperor Prince An and Princess Anping. The mistress and queen who beat Jiangshan, the two have a very good relationship, but because they hurt their bodies when they were young, there are only one son and one daughter who are not so healthy. The princes and princesses born by the remaining concubines all died. There are only a few veterans left in the world, and there are even fewer who can recognize Princess Anle.

The princess was only ten years old when she was lost. Let alone what she will look like when she grows up, who can still remember what the girl looked like four or fifty years ago?

Ruan Qing whispered: "You mean...?"

Li Zhi said: "Let's admit it for the time being. The empress dowager's people are still there. I don't want to conflict with the elders. This kind of thing is true or false. If the emperor believes you, it is true. If the emperor does not believe you, it is false. And I have a guess."

She paused for a moment, her voice tinged with gloom: "The late emperor was already 14 years old when the country was founded. He suffered all the hardships of the war, and his health was not very good. His father died suddenly, and his mother gave birth to an unhealthy younger sister prematurely. Under the pressure of several concubine brothers, under the fatigue and back pain, it is not surprising that he died young, but the country was relatively stable when he died, and the empress dowager was at its most powerful, how could Princess An Le lose it? "

Ruan Qing took a deep breath and said, "So you suspect that the loss of Princess An Le was not an accident, but premeditated, but how is it possible? The late emperor had three sons, the oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was eight years old. The veterans are all loyal and only recognize the empress dowager's line, even if the emperor dies, it will not be their turn, unless they can get rid of the three princes, that would be too obvious."

If the time goes back a little further, they may immediately suspect Prince An who is keen on abduction, but the problem is that Prince An is only a few months older than Princess An Le, and he was only ten years old at that time, so where is his power? Abducted my aunt?What reason did he have to abduct his aunt?Princess An Le is a woman, even if she is a prostitute, she cannot be in the position of being in the position. Who can she threaten, and who can a ten-year-old little princess offend?

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "But based on appearance alone, it is even more impossible for them to want the royal family to recognize the princess' offspring. Originally, the princess was reduced to the countryside. In the eyes of some pedantic people, the issue of chastity has to be questioned. Princess His granddaughter is even more distant. If it wasn’t for the empress dowager’s own daughter, she would have been reported to have died early, and she wouldn’t be dragged on like this. So I suspect that they have other things in their hands. For these things, I, or Speaking of the original owner, I have to recognize this princess. It is said that when the Emperor Yuan and the Empress fought the world, there was a powerful dark guard. After the death of the Emperor Yuan, he only obeyed the orders of the Empress Dowager, but only half of it was left in the hands of the original owner. I suspect that the other half may be looking for Princess Anle among the people."

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then questioned her soul: "But after such a long time, the dark guards have already been the grandfathers of the dark guards, right? If the empress dowager is still alive, she will be 90/[-] years old now."

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and said: "The loyalty thoughts of the ancient people are beyond our comprehension. The first generation is old, and there are still children or apprentices."

Ruan Qing understood, "So you plan to propose the reform of the imperial examination system as soon as possible. It has been laid out for more than ten years. In addition to the fact that the princess's descendants recognize relatives, there will be chaos in the court. Fishing in troubled waters can pull out many nails of Prince An. You can look at the bargaining chips in those people's hands, follow the clues to catch the people behind the scenes, Princess An Le's disappearance is strange, but it is unlikely that Prince An did it, you want to see who else is behind this matter besides Prince An?"

There was a bit of a smile in Li Zhi's voice: "Smart! It's a pity you stay in the back house, why don't you come out and be a female prime minister for me?"

Ruan Qing was taken aback, a little moved, but she thought of Baoyu who tried every means to skip class and not listen carefully, Second Sister You's marriage, Yuan Chun's pressure of not getting married, Wang Xifeng's possible problems after marriage, An Chun's upcoming engagement...

She reluctantly refused: "Forget it, the child cannot be separated from others."
