[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

The Marquis of Jing'an, who had disappeared for a long time, returned to Beijing. This incident caused a wave of disturbance in the capital, but it soon returned to calm.Because everyone knew that Gu Xingchi, Marquis of Jing'an, was a dissolute and unruly person, and he was used to such things.Therefore, when some ministers saw Gu Xingchi again, they just exchanged polite greetings.

It seems that none of the ruling and opposition parties knew about Gu Xingchi's assassination, only the emperor, empress and a few princes knew about it.

Regarding the matter of the emperor doting on Gu Xingchi, although the harem concubines and several princes did not dare to show too much dissatisfaction on the surface, they all hated Gu Xingchi in their hearts, so when they learned that Gu Xingchi was killed Everyone applauds in private.

But after eight months, no one expected that Gu Xingchi would come back alive, and immediately went straight to the palace to meet Emperor Tianshun, saying that he had been assassinated several times on the way to Jiangnan, and that if someone hadn't helped him, he would have died long ago up.

Emperor Tianshun was furious, and immediately summoned all the princes into the palace to find out the matter.

Ten days later, I heard that King Qi did something wrong to anger Emperor Tianshun, and was fined and confined to the palace. If the queen and all the courtiers hadn't interceded, Emperor Tianshun would have deposed King Qi.

All of a sudden, everyone was in danger, especially the officials who had a close relationship with King Qi, they wanted to break up with King Qi immediately, for fear that Emperor Tianshun would not be happy to make fun of them someday.

When Sister Feng heard the news, she was also surprised for a long time, but she soon calmed down.Now that Wang Ziteng has been promoted to a foreign post, and he doesn't like to associate with King Qi, this fire will never reach the Wang family.

She guessed that this incident must have something to do with Gu Xingchi, and it was likely that Emperor Tianshun found out the mastermind behind the assassination of Gu Xingchi.Looking at it now, is that person actually King Qi?

"Girl, do you still want to go to Rongguo Mansion?" Ping'er asked.

Sister Feng regained her composure and said with a smile, "I'll go tomorrow, don't forget to bring Xiangling."

Ping'er laughed and said, "The name Xiangling really sounds nice, but it's the first time for a girl to have such an elegant name."

Sister Feng said angrily, "Are you praising me or laughing at me?"

Ping'er dodged Sister Feng's hand and said with a smile, "I don't dare."

Sister Feng glared at her, looked at the post in front of her, and stopped talking.

Ping'er also stopped laughing, "Girl, I saw you were in a daze just now, but what's on your mind?"

"I'm thinking, everyone knows that the empress is noble, virtuous and virtuous. Not only does she raise King Qi as her own son, but when King Qi angers His Majesty, she is not afraid of hurting herself to kneel down and beg His Majesty. It’s rare. It’s just that I don’t know if this friendship is real or just pretending.”

Ping'er shook his head, "The slaves don't understand what the girl said."

Sister Feng smiled faintly, "You know that King Qi is not born of the queen, his biological mother is just a maidservant in the queen's palace. It is rumored that His Majesty spoiled her once drunk, but that maidservant was pregnant and gave birth to the prince. However, she died of dystocia and didn't even have a title after her death. The queen was virtuous and magnanimous, and offered to take King Qi to her side to raise him... But, what I thought was, that maid was the queen's person after all However, the queen adopted her son, so there is really no grudge in my heart?"

Ping'er laughed and said, "Things in the palace are complicated and difficult to distinguish, how can we figure it out?"

Sister Feng smiled and didn't answer, but she already planned to ask Gu Xingchi carefully when she met Gu Xingchi again.

The reason why Sister Feng went to Rongguo Mansion was firstly to take the opportunity to hand over the family letter to Daiyu, and secondly to send invitations.Because Mrs. Jiang's birthday is coming, and a banquet is going to be held.Although there was a rift between the Wang family and the Jia family, in order to save face, they still had to send invitations.

Even though Ping'er prayed many times, he still met Fu Qiufang in Rongguo Mansion.

Sister Feng stopped in her tracks, looking at the graceful figure of Pingting not far in front of her, with a lady's hair in a bun, simple and expensive hair accessories, and a lotus blue dress, looking delicate yet dignified.

Ping'er tugged at Sister Feng's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Girl, let's go another way."

Sister Feng didn't move.

Ping'er was a little anxious, "Girl, she is coming, let's hide quickly."

Sister Feng chuckled, "Am I shameful, why do I hide?"

"Oh, you know..."

Speaking of this, Fu Qiufang had already looked over here, paused for a while, and then walked here.

Sister Feng pulled out her sleeves, her eyes were calm, "Since there is no way to avoid it, why do you need to avoid it? Let's go."

"girl......"

While talking, the two had walked to the opposite side and stopped at a suitable distance.The two looked at each other, and it was Fu Qiufang who spoke first, "Is Miss Wang here to visit grandma? I just came from her old man's house, and I heard her talking about you. It just so happened that you arrived."

Her words were gentle, but she seemed to be a hostess, and she seemed to be quite liked by Jia Mu.Mother Jia has always been partial to the second wife, and she was dissatisfied with Fu Qiufang's background at first, but now it seems that she has been coaxed into submission by Fu Qiufang, which shows that she is capable.

Sister Feng said with a smile, "I don't know how the old matriarch arranged me. It made Lian's second grandma laugh."

Fu Qiufang laughed heartily, "Miss Wang is joking, the old lady likes you too late, how can I arrange you. They are all a family, what are they called 'Second Grandma Lian', just call me sister-in-law. How old are you? , if you don't mind, you can call me sister." Then she asked Sister Feng if her trip to Jiangnan went well and she was safe.Sister Feng answered politely.

Sister Feng said: "Since we met here, please trouble sister-in-law, Ping'er—"

Ping'er understood, so he handed the invitation to Fu Qiufang.

"Second Grandma Lian, it will be my wife's birthday in a few days, please do me a favor and go there then."

Fu Qiufang immediately said: "It's my honor that Mrs. Jiang is willing to invite me. I will definitely be there that day."

"In this case, I will trouble my sister-in-law to inform the old lady about this."

Fu Qiufang handed the invitation to the girl, and said with a smile: "Before I congratulate the girl, Master Wang has been promoted to a foreign post."

Although the Wang family does not have a title, Wang Ziteng's official position has been promoted one after another, and he has real power, so he cannot be easily offended.So even if she was wary of Sister Feng, she had to be polite to her.Because of Wang Ziteng, there must be many noble ladies attending Mrs. Jiang's birthday banquet, maybe they can make friends.

Her congratulations were very sincere, and there was no trace of flattery.Sister Feng had a better understanding of Fu Qiufang's personality, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I have already delivered the post, so there is no need to bother the old lady. I haven't seen sister Lin for a long time, and I really miss her."

"It's strange that everyone says that Miss Lin and Miss Wang have a good relationship and are as close as sisters. Now I have seen it."

Sister Feng didn't speak any more, just exchanged salutes with her, and then left.

Looking at Sister Feng's back, Fu Qiufang was thoughtful.

"Go, go to Mrs. Wang."

The maid drew her screen and said: "You know that Mrs. Wang doesn't like you now, and you will suffer some sarcastic remarks when you go, why do you still want to go?"

"The Wang family's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. As her sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang must go. Naturally, I will discuss with her what birthday gift I should give."

After walking for a long time, Ping'er said: "Girl, I heard that the Rongguo Mansion is now the housekeeper of Lian's second grandmother."

Sister Feng was not surprised, her eyebrows and eyes were light, "Oh, aunt will give up power?"

"The maid also finds it strange."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, "I know a thing or two about this. Do you still remember the case of Jia Baoyu and Luo Qin?"

It is well known that Jia Baoyu tried to kill Luo Qin to silence him in order to cover up the fact that he was with the man in Yixue. Naturally, the brothers and sisters of Fu Shi also knew about it.

He was good friends with a censor in Lantai Temple, so he asked that censor to impeach the Rongguo Mansion for its unhealthy family style, favoring the second wife, with the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

In fact, this kind of thing can be big or small, and it is not only the elders of the Rongguo Mansion who are partial to the youngest son. As long as it is not too much, no one will pursue it.

But the damn thing is, the censor said that the elders of Jia's parents thought that they were very expensive because they had a son born with jade and a daughter born on the first day of the new year, and that the second house would have great fortune, so the elders of Jia's parents Pin all hopes on Erfang.It is clear that Dafang is the rightful heir of Rongguo Mansion, but because of this, he handed over all the rights to Erfang. Those who don't know think that Erfang is the future owner of Rongguo Mansion.

Although Jia's mother doted on Jia Baoyu, she relied on Jia Yuanchun the most. She felt that Jia Yuanchun was born at a good time, and now that she is a member of the palace, she will have a bright future in the future.

Speaking of this, not only the courtiers, but also the emperor thought too much.Is it honorable to be born on the first day of the Lunar New Year?There are too many girls born on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Dajingchao, why is it that she is the most honorable?It's just a female history in the empress's palace, the Jia family is so proud, if the concubine is really made in the future, wouldn't the Jia family have to go sideways?The future is bright?What is a bright future?Could it be that the Jia family still wants to think of a queen or the biological mother of the future emperor?

Emperor Tianshun never liked to meddle in the family affairs of his courtiers, let alone the Jia family.That time, for the first time, Jia Zheng was called to the imperial court and reprimanded him.Jia Zheng was terrified, and when he returned to Rongguo Mansion, he told Jia's mother, but Jia's mother had no choice but to let the big house move into Rongxi Hall.Because she didn't like Mrs. Xing, she handed over the housekeeping to Fu Qiufang.

Fu Qiufang pretended to decline and accepted it.

The first thing Fu Qiufang did when he got the right to be a housekeeper was to check the accounts.Because Jiamu's decision was too sudden, Mrs. Wang was caught off guard, and Fu Qiufang found out many deficiencies before she had time to deal with the aftermath.

Fu Qiufang is the bride, so the shortfall has nothing to do with her, so I have to ask Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang panicked, unexpectedly, Fu Qiufang was prepared, and soon found out that she had embezzled all the money that was in short supply.

Mother Jia, who was rarely angry, was also furious and severely reprimanded Mrs. Wang.If it weren't for the fact that she is Wang Ziteng's sister, she would definitely be punished.

Later, coupled with Fu Qiufang's intentional flattery and understanding, Mother Jia liked Fu Qiufang more and more, but hated Mrs. Wang instead.

Ping'er was startled and said, "This Second Mistress Lian is so powerful."

Sister Feng looked at the gate not far away, and said with a smile: "Yes, I did not misunderstand her, she is capable. Sister Lin's yard is here, let's go in."

As soon as I entered, I heard laughter coming from inside.

Sister Feng asked, "Who's in there? It's so lively?"

Zijuan was feeding the birds outside the window. Seeing Sister Feng rushing over, she was very happy, "Miss Feng is here, and Miss Bao and Miss Shi are also here. Miss must be very happy to know you are here. It's cold outside, go in quickly."
