The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

The guilty Jia Lian described it in this way, and Ning Shan was annoyed and amused when she heard it, and she couldn't help saying: "Now you are also a dignified official of the fourth rank, why do you still care about the past and the future?"

With a smile on Jia Lian's face, he complained: "Brother, you don't know how greedy my wife is, but she will put everything in her box for her. Brother, I am the same." Money is tight..."

Ning Shan rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you want so many private houses for?" The rewards added up can't be less than one million. Although they are not cash, they are all good things worth silver.In order to make Sister Feng willing to pass some things to Princess Yinghua in the palace, the things Ning Shan gave to Jia Lian and his wife were worth tens of thousands. Jia Lian also said that Sister Feng was greedy, and he himself was similar. To the daughter-in-law.

Jia Lian is now the No. [-] person in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is kind and can please his boss.He is so busy every day that he doesn't touch the ground, either the ministry assigns him work, or his colleagues invite him to drink for entertainment, and he has money and has no time to spend it.It's just that he, like Mrs. Xing, has no money in his hands and no confidence in his heart. In this regard, Jia She and his daughter-in-law, Sister Feng, who is not pleasing to the eye, are very similar. The two don't care whether they have money or not. Dare to go out and collect other people's money to spend it.

After hesitating for a while, Jia Lian himself couldn't tell what he could do with the private house, but he was reluctant to let Sister Feng confiscate it, so he licked his face to please Ning Shan and said, "Brother, my younger brother did this unethically, but It's also because my wife is really too domineering. Brother, you can just tell me what you have to do, and younger brother will never be delayed by it."

Ning Shan glanced at him sideways, weighed it up, and felt that nothing would be delayed, and he didn't mind Sister Feng's behavior of not distinguishing between inside and outside.Anyway, Jia Lian is his own younger brother, there is no need to support his younger brother and daughter-in-law.So he said: "The palace's decree for marriage has also come down, and this matter should be cleared up. It's just that I have no one at home now, my father doesn't understand these things, and Ying'er is an unmarried girl, so I can't intervene. So , I need your daughter-in-law's help for the engagement gifts and other things, and the property will naturally be paid by me, but I need her to help purchase and manage it in a beautiful and decent way."

Jia Lian nodded again and again, and fully agreed: "Don't worry, big brother, this matter is on the younger brother's shoulders, and he will definitely handle things well and decently." Jia Lian is also a man. When it comes to pointing to the marriage, the completely different behavior is immediately clear. That Princess Yinghua, his sister-in-law-to-be must be extremely good, and if he can make his cold-hearted eldest brother care, then the couple will have to pay twice as much attention. Well, pleasing my sister-in-law is tantamount to pleasing my elder brother.

Ning Shan also understood in her heart that Sister Feng was still counting on him to support Jia Lian so that her husband and wife would be honored.Therefore, he would do his best to do things for him, even if he didn't receive the gift, so he spared Jia Lian immediately, and only asked him to go back and make it clear to Sister Feng, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It should be said that while Jia Lian was guarding against his daughter-in-law, he also knew her daughter-in-law quite well.As soon as I went back and made it clear, Sister Feng immediately agreed.Now that the palace has issued a clear decree, the place next to the former Ning family site has also been formally designated as the Princess Mansion, so it is logical for Ning Shan to hire her.It's just that since no one in the Ning family is in charge, this matter has to be pushed to Jia She's head.And what would Jia Amnesty do?That was something that no one dared to worry about. Sister Feng had planned for a long time that this fate must be handed over to her, and she just happened to show her skills.

Sister Feng is inexperienced in arranging a wedding, but she still knows what to do if it is just preparing a dowry.Not long after she married, she met Jia Rong who married Qin Keqing, and she also helped her.And that day at home, when Mrs. Wang Ziteng was preparing for her to marry, she also saw the dowry gift from Jia's family with her own eyes, so Sister Feng was still very confident that she could handle this well and earn a lot of face for herself.

Jia Lian was sure of Sister Feng's competitive nature, and didn't mention that Ning Shan wanted to entrust her with some work. She gave them a great gift, but she just flattered Sister Feng for her excellence and ability. No one can take over this matter now. Everything depends on her.Sister Feng became more and more proud. She wanted to subdue Jia Lian, but also to let Jia Lian live a good life with her. Don't be suspicious, seeing Jia Lian admitting that she admires her ability, she is also full of joy.Immediately let Ping'er go to prepare the big dress, and hand the sign into the palace early tomorrow morning to ask for an audience.Let's meet Princess Yinghua first to get some air, so that I can know what the princess likes and wants.This dowry gift is also different from the dowry gift, the effect is very different between the gift delivered to people's heart and the gift given at random according to the rules.

In the palace, Concubine Xiao Shu was pestering the emperor, trying to replace Princess Yinghua with her own daughter, but she said that she was trying to win over Ning Shan so that he could serve the emperor.The emperor was scolded by the emperor because Ning Shan did not lie for him because he wanted the queen of Naxi Xiangguo, she was full of resentment, she couldn't even hear Ning Shan mentioned by others, so she flicked her sleeves, pushed Concubine Xiao Shu staggeringly, and walked away up.

Before Daxing and the founding of the country, there were two dynasties where foreigners ruled the Central Plains. At that time, the atmosphere was different from what it is now. Not only were there not too many restrictions on the unmarried daughters, but it was easier for those who married. Even this dynasty regarded it as absurd. Remarriage of widows is also common.Even the concubines in the palace at that time had remarried, and they were quite doted on, and even their former children could be brought into the palace to be raised together.Therefore, the emperor was fascinated by the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom, and he wanted to accept the beauty. Although the Supreme Emperor disdained it, he did not interfere too much.After all, this is just adding a foreign concubine to the palace. Although there is no precedent, it is not a big deal.And from a man's point of view, the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom is indeed a stunning beauty with a strong exotic style.

And the Emperor likes her one more thing, which even the Supreme Emperor doesn't know about, that is, this woman is very scheming and promises to help him eradicate the Supreme Emperor's influence from the inner court.Bringing a large amount of minerals with her, and the entire Qianxiang Kingdom as a dowry, as well as scheming and cunning, she is just the kind help the emperor urgently needs. Besides, although the queen is engaged to the king of Nan'an in name, she has not waited for the wedding in fact She was defeated by Ning Shan.And at that time, the two were also using each other, and there was no so-called sincerity.Besides, as soon as Ning Shan fought over, the queen was the first to sell King Nan'an, and by the way, helped the emperor to hold part of King Nan'an's power, property, and army into her hands. The emperor was even more satisfied with her.

At the same time that the sign handed in by Sister Feng was approved, news spread from the palace that the emperor had accepted a royal woman who had surrendered from Qianxiang Kingdom and named her Xiangfei.This time the emperor was smart, or maybe the queen was smart. She picked another woman from the captives of the royal family and pretended to be the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. The people below were all confined in the capital, leaving Queen Qianxiang alone, who transformed into another former Princess of Qianxiang Kingdom, came here for a kiss, and brought her with her as a dowry.

Now, no matter whether it is the former court or the harem, there is nothing to say. Even the Supreme Emperor has never seen the real face of the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. Like Ning Shan, people who have met King Qianxiang's family before, once the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom changed her clothes and hair accessories to look like a concubine of Daxing, he might not be able to recognize whether it was the queen herself.

Because there is an extra first-rank concubine in the harem, all women who have been ordered to go to the palace to congratulate them.Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng went together, and when they saw Concubine Xiang in the Hall of Sending Fragrance, they all praised her when they came back, saying that she was really a beauty that she had never seen before.Ning Shan dismissed it, and only cared about asking Jia Lian if Sister Feng had seen Princess Yinghua when she entered the palace.

A day later, Sister Feng sent someone to call back, saying that the princess also showed up that day, standing with the other daughters of the Supreme Emperor, but she was at the end of the line, almost all of them were hidden in the shade, so they couldn't see clearly.

Moreover, the princesses of the Supreme Emperor were named the eldest princesses early on. In theory, as the emperor's sisters, they are on the same level as the queen, or even slightly higher.Therefore, there is no need to be too respectful to a concubine from the first rank or a foreigner who has surrendered, so they just sit down and leave.

But the emperor's daughters have to visit the new mother and concubine one by one.Sister Feng said that Concubine Xiao Shu's second princess was not very beautiful, not as beautiful as her sisters in the family, so it was a good thing that she was not promised to Ning Shan.

Because of all the troubles in the palace, the concubine's visit to relatives, which had been a hot topic some time ago, has gradually subsided. Jia Zheng in the Grand View Garden has been looking forward to it for half a year, but he got nothing. To save face for her daughter, in the end, she just got some unusual rewards and gave them away.

Jia Zheng was originally angry and impatient, but when he heard that a beautiful and favored newcomer came to the palace, he was from the first rank, much higher than the daughter he had placed high hopes on. There is a son who can be counted on, so he asked people to pass on Baoyu, forcing him to study, to worship the official as soon as possible, and to earn him a bit of face.

Not to mention how Jia Zheng tossed Baoyu, at this time, Ning Shan's vacation was over, she returned to the imperial court, and was directly awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of the Hall of Martial Arts. Poor, at the same time to help manage the Dali Temple, and seeing that the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment are about to retire and return home, it is estimated that one of the positions that will be vacated will belong to Ning Shan sooner or later.Jia Amnesty was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear every day, Jia Zheng's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Yingchun went to congratulate Ning Shan when the marriage decree came down, and after listening to his words, she seemed very satisfied with that Princess Yinghua, and she was very curious, so she went to beg Mrs. Xing to see Princess Yinghua next time she entered the palace Take her with me when I go to bed, and go to see my future sister-in-law first.

But Mrs. Xing was uneasy about this marriage. She always felt that the princess married in the palace must be extremely proud. Let alone her being a fool, it is estimated that even Jia Amnesty would not be able to get a good look. The later Shan gets married, the better.Therefore, upon hearing Yingchun's enthusiastic request, he said angrily, "What's the matter with taking you there? Let Ansheng stay at home, learn the rules, and don't turn around and offend the princess. When will you go in?"

When Yingchun heard Mrs. Xing mentioning that she would choose a talent to marry in the future, her cheeks blushed, and she dared not say anything more.It's just that I still think about this matter in my heart, and I'm also worried that Mrs. Xing said whether the eldest sister-in-law will dislike her, which will affect the attitude of my elder brother towards her. Didn't sleep well.Si Qi and the other maids also knew what their girls were worried about, and they were also worried, for fear that the princess would look down on the girl's status as a concubine, bully her, or persuade the uncle to stay away from the girl, and their good days would come to an end. .

On the other hand, Mother Yue, who worked as a nurturing mother in a clan's family in her early years, vaguely knew that Princess Yinghua was not taken seriously, so she was not very worried that this princess would be domineering.But she was afraid that such a princess who was neglected and grown up in the Buddhist hall would have a weird temperament and be difficult to deal with.Especially seeing how the old man cares about the princess, if he really wins over the old man and doesn't get along with the girl, I'm afraid the days to come will be miserable.For this reason, Mother Yue racked her brains to get in touch with old friends from the past, to see if she could find out a thing or two, so that she could know Princess Yinghua's temperament first, and give the girl some training so as not to suffer in the future.

Daiyu, who lives in Yingchun Courtyard, only thinks more about Yingchun. After all, Yingchun is still her own sister. In the future, when Brother Ning moves back to his family's mansion, the uncle's family will still follow him, but he will not be justified. By the way, even the eldest uncle, I am afraid that he will have to live by watching the face of the princess. As an orphan girl living under the fence, do I have to go back to the Grand View Garden?But Daiyu was cold-hearted towards the people in the Grand View Garden. If she forced herself to go back again, her newly recovered body might become depressed again.

Daiyu's tossing and turning in Qixia Garden can't be hidden from Yingchun. One day, she deliberately went over to ask what happened, but as soon as she talked about it, she knew that the two were worried about the same thing, so they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled wryly.Daiyu also comforted Yingchun and said, "You don't have to worry too much, it's just a matter of handing over the family affairs."

Yingchun smiled bitterly and said: "If that's the case, then I'd like to thank God. I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness will be spoiled and spoiled. If you don't offend us rough people and ordinary people, you don't know it. I will be satisfied. .”

Daiyu patted Yingchun on the back and sighed silently.
