The Lady of the Red Chamber

When the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist came out of the mansion and stood on the cold street, they were already dripping with cold sweat and soaked through their heavy shirts.

The monks and Taoist priests hid themselves and stood in a hidden vent.

The scarlet monk closed his eyes and made calculations, then suddenly frowned.

The lame Taoist priest stood by his side all the time. Seeing that the scarlet-headed monk had a bad complexion, he felt uneasy, and said tremblingly, "What? What's the reason for Fairy Fengyin? After all, she's still staying in this world, refusing to leave? "

The scarlet monk didn't want to believe it, he moved his fingers and counted again, until beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he had no choice but to say: "Fairy Fengyin's fate has been covered by a thick fog. It's gray, my skills are still weak, and I can't see clearly. Not only that, the lifelines of Fairy Jiangzhu and Shenying's waiter have also been completely disrupted."

Hearing this, the lame Taoist immediately squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "What should I do? Everything is fine, how did it become like this?"

Fairy Jing Huan's methods are not something ordinary people can afford.If she were to know about this matter, it would be difficult for the two brothers to survive.

The scarlet monk thought for a moment, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and finally made up his mind: "It seems that we have to go to the Lin Mansion again to see what's going on."

The lame Taoist grabbed the scarlet monk, and pointed in the direction of the Lin Mansion with some trepidation, as if shrouded by an invisible golden light above, refusing anyone's prying eyes: "Now the Lin Mansion is next to Liang's house, that's the place on Xingyun. The residence of the descendants of God. If His Royal Highness is alarmed, I'm afraid..."

Hearing the name of the god, the scarlet monk was obviously a little scared, but he still insisted: "You don't want to do this, and you don't want to do that. If that's the case, tell me, what should we do? Fairy Jing Huan has grown up Anger, if there is another mistake, how can the two of us brothers bear it?"

The lame Taoist thought for a moment, a flash of calculation flashed in his eyes, and finally took the scarlet monk's hand, looked in the direction of Rongguo Mansion, and said, "If not, let Shenying's waiter go crazy again. As long as Shenying's waiter and Jiangzhu Fairy continue If we live in the same place for more than three days, then I will be sure to get everything back on track."

The scarlet monk knew that his good friend had always had some little-known tricks, and now that the situation was unclear, he had no idea how to turn the tide.In desperation, he sighed: "That's the only way. I just hope that Fairy Jing Huan will give me some more time."

It is not easy to drive Jia Baoyu crazy, the first thing is to pick Jia Baoyu's psychic jade that never leaves his body.

However, this is still somewhat difficult for the current lame monks and scarlet monks.

Liang Yiheng went in and out of Jia's mansion every now and then. She possessed the unique blessing of God's luck, which invisibly formed a natural barrier for Ningrong and Rong's two mansions. Can find another time.

Of course, no one knows about all these conspiracies, and no one cares about them.

Right now, the entire Rongguo Mansion is struggling with another matter.

The top priority is naturally the draft.

Mrs. Wang is now confined to the Buddhist hall and cannot come out easily.But at any rate, she has been operating in Jia's mansion for so many years, not to mention Yuanchun and Baoyu are by her side, so the Jia family did not underestimate her.

On this day, Mrs. Wang knelt in the Buddhist hall, looking at the tall clay sculptured golden body in front of her, and smelling the faint incense made of sandalwood.Thinking that his current misery was caused by Dafang and Ningguo Mansion, his blood was surging and he couldn't sleep or rest.

It just so happened that the two little girls who were guarding outside the Buddhist hall were bored, so they talked about the major events that happened recently.

As we talked, we talked about the first draft in the capital since His Majesty ascended the throne.

A girl in green was sitting on the veranda outside the Buddhist hall, winking at her partner mysteriously: "Have you heard? In a few days, the palace will start a draft. I heard from those sisters, The eldest wife intends to send the second girl to run for election."

Another red-clothed maid spat at the green-clothed girl with disgust on her face: "Where did you get the news? I have some friendship with the chess player in the second girl's room, but the eldest wife has never thought of it. Come on!" Shut your mouth quickly, if anyone listens to it, you will be punished as an orchestrator."

The green-clothed maid quit, and lowered her voice, not wanting to let Mrs. Wang in the room hear the slightest bit: "This is not my nonsense, many people in the house are spreading it."

After a pause, the maid in green clothes lowered her voice: "The eldest aunt is not favored in the palace now, so the old lady wants to send a girl in to accompany the eldest aunt. Looking at our house, only the second girl is old enough Come on. Don't underestimate me, this is from Sister Hu Po."

Seeing that her partner was so sure, the maid in red hesitated a little.Thinking about Siqi and Hu Po, after all Hu Po's words are more convincing: "According to this, there may be two empresses in our mansion."

"That's not it. I didn't see those sisters and mothers often go to Rongxi Hall to pay their respects these days, don't they just want to greet the eldest wife earlier."

The two were talking happily, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden silence in the Buddhist hall: "What are you talking about? What draft? Why send another girl into the palace."

The maids in red and green were taken aback. They had already spoken in such a low voice, but Mrs. Wang heard it unexpectedly, and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "Madam, forgive me, we also heard it unintentionally."

The Buddhist hall is quiet and desolate. Since Mrs. Wang entered the Buddhist hall, she has nothing else to do except to burn incense and pray every day, kneel down, chant and copy scriptures.

After coming and going, the words of the maids outside the Buddhist hall became extremely sensitive in this silent environment.

Mrs. Wang usually doesn't care about it.

But today she vaguely heard the words "draft", "second girl" and "two empresses", and she was suddenly startled.

Thinking of Yuan Chun who is still struggling in the palace now, thinking that Mother Jia wanted to give up on her sister Yuan, she suddenly fell into the abyss, and hurriedly wanted to let the two grumpy maids outside talk to her more .

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't blame her, the maid in red and the maid in green told the truth about what they had heard these days.

Mrs. Wang covered her chest with her hands, trembling all over, and panicked at the thought of Jia Mu's indifference to her.Thinking that Mother Jia was really going to abandon Yuanchun and favor Yingchun instead, and thinking about Mrs. Xing's increasingly arrogant face these days, she didn't catch her breath and fainted straight away.

When the two servant girls heard that Mrs. Wang had lost her voice, they yelled a few more times, but no one answered.

They knew that something had happened, they panicked and hurried to report to Mother Jia.

Jia's mother knew the reason after hearing a few words from the maids' unscrupulous apology.

With a sigh, Mother Jia stood up supported by Yuanyang, paced and said, "Yuanyang, come with me to the Buddhist hall."

When Jia's mother arrived at the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Wang had already woken up, leaning on the bed, looking haggard.

Sitting on the embroidered stool in front of the bed, Jia Mu cast a faint glance at the mandarin ducks.Yuanyang understood, saluted, and led everyone back out.

As soon as the door was closed, Mrs. Wang sat up, looked at Mother Jia, and cried heart-rendingly: "Old Ancestor, are you going to give up on Sister Yuan?"

Now, Mother Jia doesn't have the slightest affection for Mrs. Wang, but because of Baoyu and Yuanchun's face, she had to patiently say: "That's enough. The second lady of the Rongguo Mansion is so happy. If it spreads, won't it make people see that we are honored?" A joke of the government."

Now Mrs. Wang is in the hands of Jia Mu, and when she heard Jia Mu scolding, she didn't dare to say more, but her face was full of unwillingness.

Looking at Mrs. Wang's disheveled and graying hair, and her finely lined eyebrows, Mother Jia looked away in a bit of distress: "Sister Yuan was brought up by me. You don't believe me, but you are willing Are you going to believe those pretentious rumors?"

Mrs. Wang bowed her head quickly: "Daughter-in-law dare not."

She was just dazed.

Now Mrs. Wang's status in Rongguo Mansion is in decline. It is only supported by Yuanchun in the palace and Baoyu, who is loved by Jiamu, so that she can barely maintain her face.

So as soon as she heard these specious news, she couldn't wait to ask Mother Jia for clarification.It's ignoring Jia's mother's love and pampering for Jia Yuanchun.

"Old Ancestor, is Your Majesty really going to be drafted?" Seeing that Mother Jia seemed to be in a better mood, Mrs. Wang boldly asked.

Jia's mother said "hmm", her eyes were heavy, she stopped talking, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Jia Yuanchun is just a small promise in the palace now, and before he has time to be promoted and won the favor of the emperor, the palace is impatient to start the draft.

Neither Jia's mother nor Mrs. Wang wanted to see such a scene happen.

Mrs. Wang got an affirmative answer from Jia Mu, and she was even more anxious, eager to hear a positive answer from Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, are you really planning to let Ying girl into the palace?"

Jia's mother was silent and did not speak. She squinted her eyes and looked at the bedpost, which made Mrs. Wang tremble with fear.

Jia Yuanchun is a girl cultivated by the four major families.If she is useless, even if the Jia family wants to keep her, I am afraid that other families will put pressure on the Jia family.

When Mrs. Wang was trembling, Mother Jia finally said: "The eldest daughter-in-law does not want the second girl to enter the palace. A few days ago, the eldest lady of the Duke of Qin's mansion also hinted intentionally or unintentionally that if the second girl entered the palace, the sisters would not be able to do so in the future." Way to play together."

Mrs. Wang's high-hanging heart finally fell.

so far so good……

Mrs. Wang has never thanked Yun Qinghuan so much.

With her words, no matter what, Mother Jia has to think more about it.

But before Mrs. Wang could relax completely, Mother Jia's next words directly broke her heart: "However, other families are already very dissatisfied with us, and they are now discussing to send another girl to the palace to serve His Majesty, so that we can reconcile with Sister Yuan." Let’s work together and complement each other.”
