The Immortal Road of the Red Chamber

Nanny Lai and her son Lai Da and daughter-in-law Lai everyone were getting angry there, and Miss Lai was lying on her Babu bed with tears in her eyes after hearing the news.

In the boudoir, which is more exquisite and luxurious than Sanchun's room, there are crying sounds, which really makes people feel distressed.

Miss Lai is 11 years old, and her baby name is Xin, which means thriving.The Lai family and she have always thought so.

When she was young, she was much stronger than the girls in the mansion, and she was quite self-confident.Every time I follow my grandmother into the mansion to greet the old lady, she always looks down on Sanchun, who is a bit petty.

Yingchun is cowardly and dull, and doesn't make any advances or retreats from the ladies.

Tanchun is not cowardly, but she is so competitive that she cannot see the reality clearly.

The fourth girl, Xichun, is still young, but she is not a withdrawn person who is easy to get along with.

It's not like her, she was carefully raised by her grandmother, and she even invited the nurturing mother to take care of her.I feel that they have a better background than me, but they are inferior to me in everything.

Now, she is still the master, but she wants to enter the mansion to be a slave, can Lai Xin cry out in anger?

As soon as Lai Xin started to cry, the girl who was waiting looked at each other, so she had to go back to Nanny Lai and the others.Nanny Lai knew it, but she just let out a long sigh, and started to persuade Lai Xin to think about it, thinking that she would go to that mansion to endure humiliation for the sake of this family.

Knowing that you are wronged, the family will definitely not ignore you.

Although Nanny Lai didn't know what Jia's mother was going to do with her granddaughter, she knew that the filial piety was indispensable.

In the past, I used to send some things that were not worth a lot of money, that was called Xinxin.Now... the old lady is afraid that what she wants is the vulgar things that are pressed on the bottom of the couch.

Thinking of this, Mammy Lai was shocked.

Today, if she can hold her granddaughter to make them take the initiative to bribe and show filial piety, tomorrow she might really assign her granddaughter to Baoyu's stick as a concubine.

They rely on the family to love the girl, who doesn't know.Even if she becomes Baoyu's concubine, the family will inevitably prepare a decent dowry.Did the old lady figure this out?

Giving their family Xiner the status of a concubine, not to mention getting a generous dowry, but also making their Lai family completely defect to the second wife... This is also a scheming plan.

You said that Baoyu is still young, so it's too early to think about it?

What does that matter, Lai Xin is only 11 years old this year, right?

Let's get along day and night for a few years, and after two years, when they are older, they will have feelings, and then they will get together and work together.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this might not be the case. Mammy Lai was anxious, but at the same time she didn't show it on the face, she also had a bold idea.

What their family is afraid of is that the Jia family will be dishonest, and then turn their two children from a good loan into a cheap loan, and re-enter slavery.

So what if their family does it first?

For example, directly transfer all the slaves of their family to the name of Lai Shangrong, and then ask someone to find a relationship, transfer Lai Shangrong's household registration out of the capital, and find a family with the surname Lai to join the clan in other places.It would be the best if there are any more officials from that family...

Nanny Lai was spinning all kinds of thoughts in her heart, and she wanted to comfort her granddaughter to be patient for a while, and pick her up sooner or later.

"Fortunately, Baoyu is still young, so it doesn't matter if I go to serve him in his room." In the future, when the clan is connected and the household registration is restored, he can change his name and change his age if he is younger.

"In that mansion, Qingwen was sent in by our family. She has a straight temper, a sharp mouth, and a good heart. Xiren belongs to the old lady, so she turned her head and leaned on the second wife. If it wasn't for the second wife's son Too busy to take care of himself, maybe the old lady has disgusted him long ago."

Everyone Lai paused, and earnestly told his daughter, "Xi Ren has a good reputation, but it is not a thing at all. She is bought from outside and can become Baoyu's personal girl, so she is definitely not easy to get along with. But don't worry, If she dares to provoke you, mother has a way to deal with her. Your father knows where her home is...whether it is Yuanyang or Qingwen, as long as other people, just be careful."

Thinking of this, everyone Lai laughed again, "You don't have to be too careful, who are you and who are they. Only you will make them angry, and they will never bully you. Don't be afraid when you enter the mansion , both father and mother are there, and we can see each other someday. Even your grandmother often comes into the mansion to pay respects to the old lady."

"Your mother is right, don't be afraid, grandma will find a way to get you out after a while." After touching Lai Xin's head, Nanny Lai told her earnestly, "Go in, listen more, watch more and talk less. After all, our family is a small family, even if I teach you a lot of things, you may not necessarily understand. Now that I have entered there, I can benefit a lot from learning the height of eyebrows and eyes from the old lady. "

When she said this, Nanny Lai felt a little distressed.The old lady is making frequent tricks now. If she had been a few years earlier, she might have learned something practical.

But after thinking about it, Nanny Lai felt that this is not bad.Seeing the old lady do something wrong and suffer a lot is not a kind of benefit.

"...Well." Knowing that her entry into the mansion is a certainty, an irreversible matter, and then hearing her grandmother and Lao Ziniang comforting herself so much, Lai Xin can only accept her fate.

She has always learned the rules of the master, and now that she is going to become a servant, she has to learn the rules of serving others quickly, so that no one will make her look down on her as soon as she enters the mansion.

If you want to do it, you must do your best.

Finally, Lai Da and everyone in Lai went out, and Mammy Lai seriously told her granddaughter not to get too close to the men in the house, especially Baoyu and Jia Lian.

The next day, Nanny Lai packed up a small box and brought a little girl into the mansion to see Mother Jia.

"...We are the servants of the mansion, and we have to serve the master for generations. Miss Xin is clumsy, and we don't want to send her in to serve the master. We are so happy that the old lady can think of her. .....The old slave didn't sleep last night, so I asked her mother to teach her some manners early this morning, and after learning the manners for a few days, let her come in to serve the old lady, so we can save our old face from being embarrassed."

Although Nanny Lai knew that since Mother Jia had thought about it, she couldn't change the matter of sending her granddaughter into the mansion.But it can't be changed, can't she delay it a little longer?

Put off the words of learning the rules for three to five days, and when the old lady mentions it after three or five days, it will not be too late to send people in.

Nanny Lai smiled and talked while watching Mother Jia without opening her eyes, letting the little girl beat her legs.Taking a deep breath, he opened the box that he brought into the house.

The box was full of gold and silver lockets of various designs.Looking at the weight of the box...it's not light anyway.

"Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the old lady's jokes. My natal family has a nephew who is not angry. He learned some crafts from others in the early years. It happened that he learned some skills yesterday and sent some finished products....I think of the old lady I haven't seen anything before, but it was the first time that the old nephew showed his skills, so he sent it to the old lady. The old lady gave me two points and accepted this. Pass it back and let people know the old lady If it is all used, he can officially become an apprentice and open the door to do business."

The monthly money and silver in Mother Jia's hand is not enough for anything at all. She is used to spending extravagantly, and now she is very tight.Nanny Lai sent this big box of gold and silver locks, which looked like it was reserved for Mother Jia as a reward, but it was actually a subsidy for Mother Jia, so that she would be well off in the morning.

After all, there were two 200 taels of silver bills pressed under the box.

No matter how many bank notes she can get out.It's just that people's hearts are not enough.God knows if she took it out, the old lady would want more.

Jia Mu casually glanced at the box full of gold and silver locks, which slightly revealed a little bit of silver bills, and asked Yuanyang to accept it in a nonchalant manner.

"You old bastard, you like to talk nicely. Forget it, let's reward these things later."

"The old lady is wise, and the old slave thinks so too."

The two of them tacitly didn't mention Lai Xin, but talked about their family's troubles.It seems that the master and servant are still close, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

It is also a skill to put a bigger and bigger gap there, and to whitewash the peace.

......

Daiyu and Xichun stayed at the Lin Mansion in the capital, and had no plans to turn back for a while.

One is that Daiyu wants to have a free time without Jia Min's restraint, and the other is that Xichun has a cold after returning from Ningguo Mansion.

For a while, the imperial physician was invited, prescribed medicine, and ordered the servants of the mansion to stare at the earth dragon in Xichun's room all day long.

Daiyu didn't like braziers or anything like that.Qiaqiao has built earth dragons in some courtyards of the Lin Mansion in the capital.

There is also an earth dragon in Daiyu's house, and her favorite thing is to lean on the smoker cage and listen to stories.

Being idle and bored, Daiyu asked someone to invite two storytellers to come back first.She keeps one here, and Xichun keeps another one there.

They were all about ghosts and gods, and after listening to them, Xichun would not dare to sleep alone.

Daiyu was better, after all, Qiaqiao, the goblin, was standing among the ghosts and gods.

Another one, in her room besides the two transformed fairies, there was also Liu Xie who had wandered back from nowhere and turned into a small bamboo-leaf green snake that was clinging to her body.

Even if this person becomes a dragon, the nature of a snake is hard to change.

Put Liu Xie brand Zhuyeqing in the skirt of her clothes, and then Daiyu held the muff and listened to Zhu Zhu's gossip.

When she was a human, she also heard a story called the farmer and the snake.

At that time, I thought the farmer was so stupid, but now... don't mention it.

The story of the farmer and the snake this winter not only happened to Daiyu and Liu Xie, but also happened in the palace.

But just like Liu Xie doesn't know how to bite Daiyu, the one in the palace is nothing more than both parties taking what they want.

Yuan Chun made a move.

A few days ago, a family banquet was held in the palace today, and the princes were all called to the palace by their father.

After the banquet, Yuan Chun happened to meet the somewhat 'drunk' Prince Rong.

In short, the sky thunder set off the fire, and Yuan Chun, who was in charge of the affairs of the small Buddhist hall, flew the prince and prince in an unoccupied palace not far from the small Buddhist hall.

Let Yuanchun talk about his feelings afterwards.

Yuan Chun can only say that it is so exciting.

On the one hand, it is the battle-tested Prince Rong;

Yuan Chun really didn't want to live in the small Buddhist hall for the rest of his life.

The reason why she took the shot was because she got the news that her own uncle was injured.

The Rongguo Mansion could no longer provide her with more help, and the only thing she could rely on was her own uncle, Wang Ziteng.

It was a good thing for Yuanchun and the Wang family for Wang Ziteng to take over the camp in the western suburbs.However, good things take a long time, Wang Ziteng really can't stand the coercion and coercion of several princes, and he can't see who will be chosen to succeed him today, and he directly appeals to the present day to suppress the bandits under the circumstances that no one can be offended.

It doesn't matter if you go this way, your arm was directly injured by the arrow.

There was poison on the arrowhead, and it was highly poisonous.In order to save his life, Wang Ziteng was decisive and cut off his injured arm with a single knife.

Wang Ziteng, who lost an arm and lost a lot of blood, although he was successful in suppressing the bandits, he missed a lot of things after all.

Wang Ziteng was unconscious, so no one knew whether the arrow was shot by the bandits who were sneaking up, or from behind Wang Ziteng.

News from inside the palace, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it, will always be faster than news from outside the palace.Whether Wang Ziteng is good or bad is related to his own future, so Yuan Chun naturally pays more attention to such news.

So before Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing, Yuan Chun got the news.

Not good news, and it doesn't matter.What frightened Yuan Chun was that there was a faint news in the palace that the maids were released from the palace to pray for the present.

Wang Ziteng is like this, and Rongguo Mansion is like that. She still has an uncle of the Tongzhou Transit Envoy, but this uncle's daughter had an accident in their house, and everyone knows that the relationship is not so close.

That's fine, but her sick mother and her grandmother with bad morals have become existences that frighten Yuan Chun.

The list of going out of the palace... Her name might be at the top.

Yuan Chun couldn't leave the palace, nor did he want to.If she leaves the palace, what will her hard work and forbearance all these years be?

After leaving the palace, at her age, coupled with her family background and family reputation, even if she were to be a stepmother like her aunt Xing, she might not be able to pick a good family.

Now it seems that Xing, the eldest aunt of Rongguo Mansion, and Youshi, Zhen's sister-in-law of Ningguo Mansion, are really lucky.

Gritting his teeth, Yuan Chun closed his eyes and opened them again, finally making up his mind.

Since she can't wait until the new emperor succeeds, then try her luck.

Take a gamble and become a concubine wearing a yellow robe.Lost, she has nothing to lose now.

What's more, who is she, Rong Guogong's eldest granddaughter.No matter how down-and-out you are, you won't be a peddler. Ordinary people can think about it.

......

So, with such high self-esteem and the courage to break the boat, Yuan Chun chose Prince Rong...

Not to mention, there is a law in the Red Mansion.That is, the right to choose the throne has never been in the hands of the current emperor, nor in the hands of any prince or prince, but in the hands of Yuan Chun.

Whoever wins in Yuanchun can be the emperor.Take charge of the world, sit on the dragon chair, and then let his woman go home to visit her relatives and boil her natal family.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

At this time, he still didn't know that he had become the 'Chosen One' Prince Rong, and it was very painful to stroke his forehead.

If it's real pain, fake headache, he knows best in his heart.

Wang Ziteng had an accident, and the news spread into the palace and various palaces.

The well-informed people almost all know about it.

Of course, people like the Jia family who like to entertain themselves, count their relatives behind closed doors, and are mean to their daughters will not be interested in this kind of current affairs news.

But like Wang Ziteng's Wang family, they are quite concerned about this matter.It's a pity that Wang Ziteng's daughter is paying respects to the Buddha to show filial piety, Wang Ziteng's wife is thanking guests behind closed doors, and the servant who followed Wang Ziteng to suppress bandits is still serving Wang Ziteng who cannot leave.

They want to know, but there is no way.

So the news that Yuan Chun packed up his things and went to Prince Rong's mansion was also blocked by the two families.

If Prince Rong had any affair with Yuan Chun before today, maybe it would make people think that he was preemptive.But at the moment when the prince made an accident, the most unbearable beauty's grace came, which made Prince Rong less conspicuous.

When Yuan Chun entered Prince Rong's mansion, apart from her own luggage, she only brought the Baoqin that had served her since she was a child.

The master and the servant were placed in a very small courtyard, and Princess Rong arranged for Yuan Chun, who had no name and status, to enter the mansion according to the rules of concubines.

Four big maids, four young maids, four rough envoys and two young eunuchs walking in the inner courtyard.

Yuan Chun, who hasn't been treated like this for many years, is actually satisfied.But when entering Prince Rong's mansion, the first thing Yuan Chun thought of was fame.

In the palace, the main concubine and the side concubine are all placed on jade plates, a title recognized by the royal family.As for concubine concubine, it sounds nice, but in fact it is not a concubine.

According to ordinary people's name, she is actually a woman who is lower than the aunt and taller than the girl in the house.

With such an identity, can Yuan Chun be reconciled?

Naturally it cannot.

But at the same time, Yuan Chun didn't know what chips he had to get Prince Rong to promote her.

What Yuan Chun didn't expect was that Prince Rong's scheming was so deep that the position of side concubine he wanted was already in front of him.

Wang Ziteng has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, even though he was injured, it is an honor.

Although he lost an arm, as long as he is alive, the military power of the western suburbs camp will not be left alone, and it is unknown if there will be even greater gains.

To him, it is definitely not a loss for him to use the position of side concubine as a gift in a timely manner.

There are people from Prince Rong in the camp in the western suburbs. As early as when Wang Ziteng was injured, Prince Rong received a letter from his subordinates.

Why is it rumored in the palace that the palace maids were released to pray for blessings, and why did Yuan Chun count on a prince who had lived in the deep palace since he was a child?

In this palace, no one is a fool.

Of course, fools will not live to this day.

(→_→)

Ever since Yuanchun entered the palace, Prince Rong spent the two days resting in Yuanchun's room, and then rewarded her with some valuables, making Yuanchun firmly established in the backyard of the palace.

On the third day, before Wang Ziteng returned to the capital, Prince Rong personally went to the Ministry of Rites to ask Yuan Chun to be concubine.

Because there was already a vacancy in Prince Rong's mansion, the invitation to seal it up went very smoothly this time.

There was no need for any imperial decree, it was just that the Ministry of Rituals went through a procedure, and Yuan Chun received the corresponding items of the concubine's big makeup, which also made the other women in Prince Rong's backyard who were thinking about the status of the concubine completely blown their hair.

Sisters, kill this peach picking~

Prince Rong's people secretly escorted Prince Teng back to Beijing, and also helped Prince Teng ward off many plots.But at this time, when the gunpowder smoke in Prince Rong's backyard hadn't filled the air, Prince Rong's family sincerely gave an order to the Buddha in a panic.

That is to pray for the present, all the concubines in the mansion are not allowed to go out, are not allowed to see outsiders, and all fast and bathe to copy Buddhist scriptures for the present.

Princess Rong worshiped the Buddha herself, but she never forced others to do the same.She felt that being impious was the greatest blasphemy against the Buddha.

But now that such an outburst came out of such a sudden panic, it is really puzzling.

When Yuan Chun was in the palace, he only knew about Princess Rong Xiangfo, but he didn't know what else was going on here.

If you copy Buddhist scriptures, you can't go to bed, and if you can't go to bed, you can't have children.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the mansion, he had to copy Buddhist scriptures, which made Yuan Chun very disgusted, but seeing that everyone in the backyard was copying Buddhist scriptures, Yuan Chun had no choice but to not seek meritorious service, but to be serious about fasting and bathing without fault Went to copy scriptures.

But Yuan Chun copied the scriptures, but it doesn't mean that her close girl Baoqin also needs to copy the scriptures with her.

And the master can't go out of the house to meet outsiders, but the servant girl can.

No, just when Daiyu was holding the black-hearted Xiaojiao and listening to Zhu Zhu's gossip with great interest, Baoqin took two maids and an eunuch back to Rongguo Mansion under Yuanchun's order.

Baoqin also brought back a letter from Yuanchun.

As soon as he went back holding the piano, he was naturally shocked.Then the masters and servants of Rongguo Mansion knew what happened outside the mansion.

Mrs. Wang staggered and rushed to Baoqin, a pair of cloudy eyes sparkled.

"...Madame An, the side concubine and the women in the mansion are ordered by the princess to pray behind closed doors for today. The side concubine said that she has not seen the wife and the old lady for many years, and she is even worried about it. Now that she is out of that place, It will be much more convenient for ladies to meet each other in the future, please take good care of yourself and don't worry about yourself..."

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, although Yuan Chun is now a side concubine, her status is high enough to support her.Turning to look at Sister Feng and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with pride.

She opened her mouth to say something to Baoqin, but she glanced at the two girls and the little eunuch who were following Baoqin. Madam Wang didn't want to embarrass Yuan Chun, so she closed her eyes and nodded to Baoqin with a gratified expression.

Now that I am seriously ill, my daughter has entered the palace. My daughter is the most blessed on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my daughter will be the imperial concubine tomorrow.

Thinking of this, a line of tears welled up in Mrs. Wang's eyes, sad, relieved and looking forward to it, which made people feel quite moved after seeing it.

Mrs. Wang was moved, but Sister Feng dared not move.

Sister Feng touched her stomach, she had to hurry up and give birth to her son.Without a son, it is really uncertain whether the Rongguo Mansion belongs to the eldest or the second.

Sister Feng knew how much the mansion had expected of Yuan Chun, but after Yuan Chun entered the small Buddhist hall in the palace, Sister Feng had less scruples.

She was originally a selfish person, but when she came to Rongguo Mansion, she became Lian Er's grandma, taking care of the trivial housework of the whole mansion, seeing the prestige, she also enjoyed this prestige.

But the status of the second room in the mansion, the partiality of the old lady, and the existence of the second wife and Baoyu are all thorns in Sister Feng's heart.

She has been waiting for that opportunity.Waiting for the opportunity to trample the second room under his feet and become the only one.

Then when she thought that the opportunity came, the old lady was still alive, and she lived longer and longer.Yuan Chun also changed from an aunt in the palace to a side concubine in the palace...

Sister Feng turned her head to look at Mrs. Xing calmly, wondering if her mother-in-law would do something too.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

They have a common enemy, don't they?

Mrs. Xing was also considering the possibility of this kind of cooperation, but she gave up in a blink of an eye.

As long as the old lady can't find out who is behind her, she doesn't need to follow others.

Watching their aunts and nephews bite dogs... Hehe, there is nothing more satisfying than this.

When Baoqin returned to the mansion this time, besides telling the mansion the good news, he also wanted a sum of money.

If the battlefield is changed, there will be more places to use silver.

Not to mention anything else, but the maids and servants in their yard have to use some means of both kindness and might.

Wei...as long as Prince Rong gives Yuan Chun some face, that's fine.

But for this kindness, money has to be thrown out.

Yuan Chun brought a large sum of money with him when he entered the palace, and then every year the mansion would give Yuan Chun a sum of money to spend. The work of that small Buddhist hall could not be so happily done to her without money.

It is now the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the money in Yuan Chun's hands has already been spent.Everyday is good, but New Year's is sad.

This year's status is different, and it's the first year in the palace, let's not talk about the New Year's Day, just say that it's usually a reward, so it can't be underestimated.

Yuan Chun wrote all these things clearly in his letter.Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu read the letter and naturally understood Yuan Chun's thoughts, but it was useless for them to understand.

They used to be the cheapest, but now they have become bare commanders, and the power in the mansion has long been in the hands of Sister Feng.

Sister Feng just said that this year Zhuangzi owed the harvest, and there was nothing left in the mansion, so she was able to block this topic.Not only can you block it back, maybe Sister Feng can even cry with you with the account book.

They believed that the person they didn't want to make Yuanchun feel better might be Sister Feng.

And the eldest wife... Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were a little scared.

The eldest lady has been showing her miserliness all these years, and now that she knows to take money out for Yuanchun, I am afraid that if this woman is so hard-hearted, she will run to the gate of Prince Rong's mansion and say, "I'm not going to live anymore, I don't have a day to live." Law over'.

Thinking of that possibility, Mrs. Jia Muwang couldn't help shivering.

The matter of money really stumped Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang for a while, so Jia Mu only asked Sister Feng to go to the warehouse to pack up a heavy congratulatory gift and asked Baoqin to take it back.

She was going to get some money back in another way.

"The eldest girl has been in the palace for so many years, and she finally made it through. This is a good thing, a great thing for the whole family."

After all, she has been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Jia Mu for many years. Upon hearing what Jia Mu said, Mrs. Wang suggested to celebrate it amidst bursts of farts.

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, not caring whether the room stinks or not, she just asked Sister Feng to prepare the noodles, and asked her servants to wait for the invitations to be delivered from house to house.

"Ask Miss Lin to come too, and then go to Tongzhou by herself to see if Min'er is not free, and tell her to come with Brother Fan in her arms. If not, the old woman will invite her to go in person."

The rich Xue family, the Wang family who still have power in the eyes of ignorant people, and the Lin family who have done well in officialdom and rich family resources have all become the main guests of this banquet.

When Zhu Zhu said this, the servants of the Jia family had already arrived at the Lin residence.

The steward reported all the way in, Daiyu touched the black-hearted Xiaojiao in her arms, and agreed with a very happy smile.

"Back to the old lady, just say that I will definitely go the day after tomorrow."

Are you asking if Xichun will go?

I'm still sick, so what to do.

Daiyu agreed happily, and then when the servants of Jia's family went to Tongzhou to spread the message, they also mentioned Daiyu's situation.

Jia Min touched his son's hair that stood up from his nap, and felt a 'thump' in his heart.

This damn girl must have not held her fart well...
