[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Xue Baochai can naturally think of things that Tanchun can think of.After all, she is already 14 years old, and she will be 15 years old in January. She is not a little girl like Tanchun.

In the past, she was blinded by a leaf, so she couldn't see other things. These days, following Jia Yan into the garden, away from her mother's nagging, gave her more time to think.

Especially today, the emperor's presence is even more exciting for Xue Baochai.

At the beginning, Xue Baochai kept thinking about how to present herself in front of the emperor, for example, when the emperor left or came next time, she would pretend to meet her by chance.Because of these things in her heart, she was a little absent-minded when discussing various matters of the Poetry Club in Qiushuangzhai this time. She only made arrangements for Tanchun and took over the work of registering the account books, but she did not follow the Daguanyuan in the original book. Reform is like finger-pointing.

Not only Tanchun saw her absent-mindedness, but even her cousin Xue Baoqin also saw her cousin's thoughts.

Although Xue Baoqin is young, she is very transparent. After returning to the Jinlou with her cousin, she screened off the maids and mother-in-law for the first time in the house, and let Yinger and her maids guard outside, and then quietly He whispered in the cousin's ear: "Eldest sister, don't make a mistake. Which woman would like to share her husband with others? At the beginning, that female official Jia had not become an imperial concubine, so she erased the name of elder sister. What's more, Empress? Empress has not been favored yet, so naturally she doesn't need other people's help to secure her favor."

A few words, like a slap in the face, made Xue Baochai suddenly enlightened.

But no, since I have already decided to curry favor with the empress, why bother to embarrass the empress and offend the empress?

Only then did Xue Baochai realize that all the maids in the house had been dismissed by their cousins.

She took her cousin's hand and said in a low voice: "Then sister, tell me, can I follow my mother?"

"The eldest sister said, whoever follows the empress, which family has no future? Even though I have never met the daughter of Duke Wende, I know that she has to be named the first-class county monarch because of the empress." Xue Baoqin said. "Besides, as we all know, there is only noble Nazhu in the palace of Long Live today, who benefits her natal family and her natal brothers. But other people don't have this blessing. Even the empress's natal family only got the name of Cheng'en Gong's mansion." .”

That's right, among the concubines in the palace, there is only one nobleman Zhu who makes the emperor treat him differently. Even in terms of promoting his natal family, there is only one nobleman Zhu in the palace.

This is also the best evidence that Mr. Zhu favors you exclusively.

Noble Zhu is favored, Long Live has her in his heart, so naturally nothing happens.

In the future, nobleman Zhu will fall out of favor, and some people will compare nobleman Zhu with concubine Jia Yan and Jia Shu. There are two extremes: nobleman Zhu relies on the emperor's favor to give important officials to his natal brothers who have no talents, virtues or achievements, but Jia Yan and Jia Shu What about the person recommended by the family?Even if it was not obtained through the imperial examination, but this political achievement is real.

It's fine if no one mentions the premise in Wansui, but if someone mentions it, what will Wansui think?

If it was another naive girl, I'm afraid that I will be the only one in the palace in the future, and Zhu Guiren's today is my tomorrow.But if it was Xue Baochai, she wouldn't be so naive.

Xue Baochai has always understood how important and difficult the word "management" is.

The childhood education made Xue Baochai yearn for the splendor and splendor of the palace city, but the childhood education also taught Xue Baochai what reality is and how to choose when necessary.

After two full days of thinking, Xue Baochai knelt down in front of Jia Yan.

At that time, Jia Yan had just returned from Daoxiang Village.

That day, after Jia She sent the emperor away, he came back to talk to his daughter again, and in the end he helped to make a lot of wooden cages.Of course, rabbits are also indispensable.

The specific matters were arranged by Anwen, the young supervisor of the food department - after all, Anwen was born in the Qingfeng Division of Xuanhui Mansion, and Qingfeng Division also raised vegetable rabbits, and one of the servants selected by the emperor used to be in charge of this.Because Jia Yan wanted to raise rabbits, An Wen recommended Xu Ping to Jia Yan.

When Xue Baochai asked to see him, An Wenzheng said to Jia Yan: "Obviously there are capable people in your mother's family. However, this Xu Ping is a bit capable, and the rabbits raised by him have never been sick. Thinking about it, my maidservant He should be useful."

Jia Yan glanced at Xu Ping, who was kneeling below, and said with a smile: "Look what Si Shan said. Yes, for a family like ours, every year when the clan sends out the annual report, the unmarried girl and master, as long as they have some status , basically can get some rabbits for entertainment. But, how can we really keep these little things. Those who ran away or died, and those who can stay for more than half a year are only a few. Since this servant Xu has such a If you are capable, I will leave the rabbits in Daoxiang Village to him. Minister Xu, what you have to do is not only to raise these rabbits well, but also to teach others. Do you understand?"

The sweet potato discovered by Jia Yan was quickly promoted in various places;

The captive breeding method of chickens and ducks that Jia Yan figured out was quickly spread across the country;

This rabbit is obviously going to be promoted everywhere.

In other words, Xu Ping can't hide his secrets.

Xu Ping kowtowed and agreed.

The servant who informed Xue Baochai came in at this time.

Jia Yan exchanged glances with Anwen, and then Xu Ping backed off.

An Wen will teach Xu Ping on his own.

After Xue Baochai came in, he first gave Jia Yan a national salute, but he didn't get up after the salute, which made Jia Yan ask: "Sister Bao, what are you doing?"

"Min, Minnv has something to say to the empress."

Jia Yan narrowed his eyes, glanced at Xue Baochai who was kneeling below, and said, "Go ahead."

If it is a lady in the palace, she will definitely use the word zhuozou, but for Jia Yan, now that she has not officially accepted the royal canon, she can use zhuozou to tell you.It's just that during the conservative period, she is more willing to use the latter.

This is also where she is cautious.

Xue Baochai calmed down and said: "Minnv originally came from the south. In the past, she was young and ignorant, and she came from a humble background and lacked education. As a result, she did a lot of wrong things. Minnv knew her mistakes and asked her mother to punish her. "

Jia Yan said: "What's wrong with Sister Bao? Besides, that happened so many years ago. Why did Sister Bao mention that?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Mother, in the house of the Minnv, the Empress also knows that after my father passed away, the family was not as good as the year after year, and the older brother was born to be a failure, so my mother pinned her hopes on the Minnv. And the Minnv also ...If it is possible, Minnv also hopes to be able to be the wife of others, so that future generations will not have to look at other people's faces. It's just that Minnv bears the burden of the family and has no choice."

"so what?"

Jia Yan probably knew what Xue Baochai meant.

Xue Baochai was telling her that as long as she was willing to use her family, she would not change her mind and would help her with anything.

Xue Baochai blushed: "Your Majesty!"

How can she, a girl, export this kind of thing?

However, if you can't even say such a thing, why should people use themselves?People are not nobody!

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai became ruthless, and said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will no longer have the idea of ​​climbing the dragon and the phoenix. If I turn my back on this word in the future, I will be struck by lightning and die! I will also restrain my cousin..."

Just as Xue Baochai was swearing, a hand appeared in front of her.

That was Jia Yan's hand.

"Miss?"

Xue Baochai didn't dare to get up yet, so she could only look up at Jia Yan.

"I've seen Sister Bao's sincerity. I've seen what Sister Bao can do all these years. And I do have something right now, which may make Sister Bao's family change like the Yan family. "

Xue Baochai was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "But according to your mother's orders." When she straightened up, she hesitated again, and said: "What your mother said, but it has something to do with Sister Yun?"

"Huh? Well done, why mention her?"

Jia Yan was a little puzzled.

Xue Baochai hurriedly said this and said, "Although it's just a child's talk. But sister Yun is living in this garden now. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of the empress and Lord Lin."

Jia Yan tilted her head slightly, and after a few seconds, she heard her say slowly: "Sister Bao, have you ever told the story about silverfish and catfish?"

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, so I ask my mother to point me out."

"It's hard to give advice, but I heard someone occasionally say that there was once a king in the Persian kingdom who loved to eat a special whitebait in a lake thousands of miles away from their palace. But this kind of whitebait is extremely rare It is easy to raise. If it is put into a big wooden box, it will die within a few days. When it is transported to the Persian palace, let alone alive, it will basically stink. Later, the favorite of the Persian king thought of a way, that is, in those A catfish was placed in the box for transporting silverfish. As soon as the catfish was put into the wooden box, the silverfish felt dangerous and swam to prevent themselves from being attacked by the catfish. Therefore, the King of Persia was able to eat fresh silverfish .”

Xue Baochai froze for a moment, hesitated, and said, "Your Majesty is saying that Sister Yun is that catfish."

Jia Yan said: "Yes. Someone else might send Sister Yun back to her natal family. But for me, through Sister Yun, I can clearly see your character, actions, and capabilities. I will not reject Yuanzi It’s just that I use each of you differently. Sister Yun, her age and her temperament are all here, so I use her in this way. And you, since you have understood , I will naturally use you in another way."

In Jia Yan's view, Shi Xiangyun is just a spoiled brat. She comes from a high family background, and she is backed by Jia's mother and the Shi family. understand.

On the contrary, it was Xue Baochai, who was the best judge of the situation. Of course, such a person is also the easiest to become a fool and be stabbed in the back driven by greater interests.So Jia Yan didn't want to use Xue Baochai before.

However, today, Xue Baochai is indeed different from the past.Then it's time to use Xue Baochai.
