The Lotus in the Red Chamber

, relatives and friends far and near, who don't know that my daughter-in-law is ten times stronger than my son, and now I'm gone like this. "

Qingwen couldn't help but feel sad when she heard that, she met Qin Keqing that day but she was a strange woman, and Jia Rong Qingwen also met her before, although she was also somewhat handsome, she had heard the maid in the mansion say Despite his deeds, he searched for flowers and asked willows, but the good-looking maids in the mansion refused to let go of any of them. They were really not good enough for Qin Keqing.Now even his wife is gone, but he can't stay by his side.

Qingwen was thinking about it, but saw a very good coffin brought in, several women in the mansion put Qin Keqing's body which had been dressed up, Qingwen was far away, couldn't see clearly, but heard The servant girl next to her said: "This coffin was sent by the Xue family. I heard that it is made of mahogany, and it will not be broken for ten thousand years."

There was a hint of envy in her tone, which made Qingwen frowned unconsciously.

The mourning hall was quickly set up, and Jia's family members knelt in front of the coffin and saluted the guests who came to express their condolences.

Seeing the commotion in the mourning hall, Qingwen was troubled in her heart. At this moment, Xiren asked her to go to the kitchen of Ningfu to bring ginseng soup to Jia Baoyu, and Qingwen left immediately.When I walked outside, I found that there was another small mourning hall beside Qin Keqing's mourning hall, and there was also a coffin. Qingwen was a little surprised. When I went in to look, I found that the inside was unexpectedly deserted, only a few little girls were burning paper money. So he asked, "Whose mourning hall is this?"

Those little girls were obviously also impatiently guarding this small mourning hall, and when they saw someone coming, they said with rare enthusiasm: "This is sister Ruizhu's mourning hall."

Ruizhu, Qingwen couldn't help but think of Qin Keqing's extremely trusted girl named Ruizhu when she came to Ning Mansion last time.

"Is it Ruizhu next to Grandma Rong?"

"That's it." The little girl replied.

Qingwen just felt that things were a little strange, so she asked the reason. It turned out that Ruizhu also died when she saw Qin Keqing died. Spirit here.Although Qingwen thought it was reasonable, she still felt that things were a little strange. She thought that since she came, she saw that no one came to visit her, so she asked the little girl for three incense sticks and did her best. Not long after it was put into the coffin, the lid of the coffin was not closed. Qingwen glanced at the corpse inside, but was startled, and hurriedly left the mourning hall to say goodbye.

Of course, it wasn't Qingwen who was frightened by the corpse, but by the wound on Ruizhu's forehead. The wound is strange. Qingwen has studied medical theory, and knows that the wounds made after death are very different from the wounds made before death. With just one glance at Qingwen, she can see that the wound on Ruizhu's forehead is clearly posthumous. Being blindsided by others.And the person who can do this must be someone from Jia's mansion. In this way, Qin Keqing's death is also strange, but Qingwen doesn't want to delve into it, nor does she dare to delve into why it happened.

Brought a bowl of ginseng soup from the kitchen, Qingwen brought it to Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu was a little sleepy after drinking a few sips, Xiren persuaded Jia Baoyu to go back to the mansion, but Jia Baoyu refused and was still in the Ning mansion wait.Seeing Jia Baoyu's aggressive waiter, Qingwen didn't want to put another body on it, so she left the mourning hall and came to Qin Keqing's residence Tianxianglou. The Tianxianglou she saw when she came that day was no longer the Tianxianglou today , the tea has been cold for a long time, and the plum blossoms that were once extremely prosperous in the courtyard have also withered at this moment.Qingwen saw that the gate of Tianxiang Building was locked, so she could only walk around in the courtyard. The rockery in the courtyard remained the same, and the fish in the small fish pond were also swimming happily, but what they didn't know was that they would also be in the same place in the future. They lose attention just as much as their departed owners.

While mourning in her heart, she suddenly heard a sound from the gate outside the courtyard. Qingwen knew that it was extremely wrong for her to appear here at this moment. There is just a place in the middle of the recess, and Qingwen is small, but it is just right to hide in it.

Just secretly rejoicing, Qingwen couldn't help holding her breath nervously when she heard footsteps coming from outside, and there was more than one person.But I heard a male voice from outside: "This is Xiao Ke's residence."

There was no sound, but Qingwen could hear the breathing of people outside.After a long time, another voice sounded: "Master, if you want to investigate, you should go inside and have a look. The third princess died, and even Rui Zhu, who we arranged beside the third princess, also died. Something must be wrong."

When Qingwen heard what the man said, her body stiffened suddenly. Of course, Qingwen knew that this group of people was not anyone in Jia's mansion. On the contrary, they came to investigate the truth. But naturally he knew that it was Qin Keqing, and then he heard that the three princesses were referring to Qin Keqing.That day Qingwen saw the decorations in Qin Keqing's room, and she had some doubts about her identity, but she didn't expect such a noble identity.The princess refers to the prince's daughter, and her grade is considered to be second grade. If it is the prince's daughter, it is higher. Qingwen has stayed in Jia's mansion for so long, so she naturally understands it.After all, even Jia Zhen, who had inherited the title of the Jia family, was only a second rank.However, why Qin Keqing, who has such a high status, is only the daughter of a small official in front of outsiders, there is naturally a huge secret in it.

Qingwen knew that after she heard this shocking secret, if someone found out, she would definitely end badly, her heart was suddenly filled with sweat, and her palms were sweating.

After a long time, there was no sound from outside, but Qingwen remained motionless. Although there seemed to be no one in the courtyard, there was no guarantee that they had not entered Tianxiang Tower. Now Qingwen only hoped that they would not go down from the second floor of Tianxiang Tower Look, if you look down, there is no doubt that Qingwen's hiding place is wrong.

Fortunately, due to time constraints, those people only inspected Qin Keqing's bedroom, and did not go up to the second floor to inspect it.Hearing the sound of footsteps returning, Qingwen clenched her teeth and held her breath, trying not to let her whereabouts be discovered.

"Second brother, are you going back to the palace?" The first voice was heard again.

"Since you're here, let's pay homage to Xiao Ke's grave. Although the elder brother was imprisoned by the emperor, Xiao Ke is still my niece."

Suddenly hearing this voice, Qingwen was stunned, the same deep voice in memory overlapped, Qingwen suppressed the tears in her eyes, this, this is clearly the voice of Brother Mu in memory.

When Qingwen came back to her senses, there was already no one in the courtyard. Thinking of what she just said, Qingwen hurried to the mourning hall. When she arrived at the mourning hall, there was still a constant flow of worshippers, but she could not see the people in her memory. .

Seeing Qingwen come back in a daze, Xiren was a little surprised, but he still said bitterly: "Where did you go, but when you called someone to wait on you, she was not there."

Jia Baoyu listened and hurriedly helped Qingwen, changed the topic and said to Qingwen: "Sister Qingwen, look at the incense beads that Prince Beijing gave me just now, do you think it looks good?"

Seeing that Qingwen didn't answer, she didn't care, she still said to Qingwen Xuxu: "You don't know, Prince Beijing is such a handsome person, not at all like before..."

However, Qingwen was not in the mood to listen to Baoyu's continuation, so she made an excuse casually, and ran to the outside gate, only to see a group of people getting into a gorgeous carriage. Qingwen saw but there was no familiar figure, she lost her mind and entered the gate of Ning Mansion.

King Shui Rong of Beijing got into the carriage and saw that his own Shui Mu was already sitting in the carriage approving the memorial, he couldn't help but said, "Second brother, you are so anxious to do the things the emperor told you recently, do you have something to do?"

After hearing this, Shui Mu stopped writing and smiled, but did not refute.

Shui Rong was surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked, "What is Second Brother going to do?"

Shui Mu closed the memorial, and a faint smile appeared on Qingjun's face: "Go and see someone."

Because of Jia Zhen's decentralization of power and Wang Xifeng, Jia's mansion held a funeral for Qin Keqing with great fanfare. Not long after the funeral, the people in Jia's mansion have not recovered from Qin Keqing's funeral that was comparable to the emperor's grandson.Jia's house ushered in a great happy event.The present sage passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne.

There are not too many women around the current prince. As Jia Yuanchun is a concubine bestowed by the queen, it means that Jia Yuanchun will occupy a high position in the harem.Sure enough, after the national funeral was over, Jia's mansion received the concubine's will, and named Jia Yuanchun the concubine Jia Xian, one of the four concubines, and bestowed her residence in Fengzao Palace.

Although all the concubines around the prince were made concubines, Jia Yuanchun was the one with the highest ranking.Everyone in Jia's mansion was so happy that they completely forgot that the funeral in the mansion was not long ago.All the white lanterns used for Qin Keqing's funeral and state funeral were replaced, all red, and the house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Not long after, another decree came down, that the current sage took pity on the concubines in the harem for not being able to reunite with their relatives, and specially allowed the concubines in the harem to go home to visit relatives during the Lantern Festival.In the harem, only Concubine Jia Xian, Concubine Cao, and Concubine Li were the only concubines who had the main seats.As soon as the news was heard, several concubines' families began to build relative homes, and Cao's family was the most active.

The people in Jia's mansion are naturally not willing to lag behind, Concubine Jia now has the highest status in the harem, if the provincial concubine is not as good as other concubines, she will definitely be ashamed.Mrs. Wang also got the title of fourth-rank madam due to the confirmation of Concubine Jia's position, and her status in Jia's mansion became more and more stable. She naturally knew that this was due to her daughter. If she wanted more in the future, she had to first Stabilize Jia Yuanchun
