Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhang was pregnant before her body was fully developed, and her pregnancy image has always been a little bad. Although she is the fourth concubine, there are many good medicines in the mansion to take care of her body, and the imperial physician is always by her side, but this mansion There are many things happening in the house, and there is really no way to take good care of them.

And since she became pregnant, this backyard has also begun to feel a little uneasy. First, Miss Li, who was placed in the study by the fourth master, asked the fourth master for her name. The fourth master thought that after the first wife was pregnant, it was time to enter So he discussed with her that he wanted to be Li Shiti's concubine.

Although it was discussed with her, she just shied away a little bit, and fourth master's face changed. This also implied that she should not be so tolerant after she became pregnant.

Her heart is miserable, and this baby can't be raised anymore. Now that she is suffering from internal and external troubles, she suddenly knows that her husband will welcome the side concubine into the mansion. In a fit of anger, Mrs. Zhang has a harbinger of miscarriage. Luckily, Madam Xu has rich experience. , Hastily asked someone to invite the imperial physician who was familiar with the Zhang family to come, and only then did the flesh and blood in Zhang's belly be saved.

Even so, Mrs. Zhang lost a lot of blood, her face was pale, her thin body stood out with a big belly, she looked very pitiful.

"Girl, this is really too much." Madam Xu wiped her tears with an angry look on her face, "If my uncle wants to take a concubine, he should discuss it with the girl, so why not ask someone to do it in private like this?" gone."

The girl is not tolerable, the Li family in the study is usually arrogant, the girl can't help her, she will serve delicious food, or if she is a maid, what kind of bird's nest and chicken soup should be served with it? .

They are not preventing my uncle from taking a concubine, but they should tell the girl about this matter, how can they take a concubine in private, and they still give them a position as a side concubine next to the main concubine. What is it when they are girls?It's so disrespectful.

Zhang's face was pale, and she pressed her stomach with her hands, and said in a weak voice: "Stop talking."

"Girl..." Seeing Mrs. Zhang like this, Madam Xu felt even more distressed, and wiped her tears and said, "I'll go home and tell the master, if my uncle does this, it will be too disrespectful to our Zhang family. "

"The Zhang family!" There was some anger in Zhang's voice, "Why does the fourth master put the Zhang family in his eyes? Did our Zhang family help the fourth master?"

If the Zhang family were willing to help fourth master, maybe fourth master would respect her a little more, but the Zhang family stood by and watched, which would really make her a concubine for display.It's a pity that she has a natal family, but she is not much different from someone without a natal family.

Grandma Xu was dumbfounded. Even though she is a woman who doesn't understand the important affairs of the court, she still knows that Mr. Zhang Ge is the most wise and protects himself. Not bad.

Mrs. Zhang's voice was extremely indifferent, "Besides, it's only natural for a man to take a concubine, and I'm pregnant, so I can't serve the fourth master. If it wasn't for the pity of the concubine De, maybe this side concubine would have been given to me long ago, and it would have waited until today. "

In fact, the fourth master had already taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the eldest concubine in Cheng Enhou's mansion, and invited the concubine Defei to marry the empress. Hold this matter down, saying that the marriage will be given after she gives birth.

Fearing that she would be overwhelmed, the two mistresses asked the old mother to explain to her in detail. The two mistresses treated her as a daughter-in-law so considerately, but it was their own husbands who secretly arranged for the side concubine Things.

If the side concubine hadn't asked for a dowry set from the Jinjiang Rouge Workshop, because the asking price was too high, the accountant wouldn't dare to accept it. If she was found here, she might not know until the day the side concubine came in. This matter showed that fourth master really didn't take her seriously.

Madam Xu was dumb, but looking at Zhang's stomach, she felt rather unwilling, and said bitterly: "Could it be that I can only watch my uncle enter?"

The child in the girl's womb was almost pissed off.

"Otherwise what can I do?" Mrs. Zhang smiled wryly, "My natal family refuses to help Fourth Master, so what face do I have to prevent Fourth Master from looking for other foreign aid? Besides..."

Mrs. Zhang looked at her stomach with a somewhat helpless expression, "The imperial doctor has already said that the fetus in my stomach is a female fetus."

When he first found out that she was pregnant, Fourth Master treated her kindly, even if he spoiled the women in the backyard, he would be a bit scrupulous, but after knowing that the child in her belly was a daughter, although at first glance it was still the same as before, But those eyes and some small movements have completely changed.

"What's the matter with being a little girl!" Madam Xu said indignantly, "There are quite a few families that bloom first and then bear fruit. The eldest prince even gave birth to several concubine daughters, and the crown princess even gave birth to a prostitute daughter." no."

Although her girl can't be compared with the third concubine, but she is not as good as the top, and more than the next. At least her girl is pregnant with a child.

Mrs. Zhang smiled wryly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her husband's daughter, after all, she was her own flesh and blood, and she loved her very much, but for the fourth prince, at this critical moment of winning the heir apparent, having a son is naturally better than having a daughter.

It's a pity that the imperial doctor has already made it clear that she had this baby early, and her health is not very good. After giving birth, it is best to raise the baby for a few years before having a baby, otherwise it will damage the longevity, but the fourth master... is not willing Wait a few more years for her.

Mrs Zhang wept bitterly, most of the slaves brought by Mrs Zhang from the Zhang family in the main courtyard naturally favored her, for a while the main courtyard was full of desolate cries.

As the saying goes, being a mother is strong. Although she was disappointed with Fourth Master, Mrs. Zhang changed her mind slightly and came up with several ways, "Order my servants to mention Mrs. Li who is in Fourth Master's study as a concubine."

Although she is just an unqualified concubine, it is much better than just an anonymous maid in the study before.

"Girl!" Mother Xu said disapprovingly, "Who are you picking up at this time?"

Kuang Li is just a maid in the study, she is sterile and has no achievements, and she is just an orphan, without the slightest decent family background, to be considered a concubine is too much to think highly of her.

Mrs. Zhang said indifferently: "I won't lift it, so why not wait for the fourth master to carry it?" She paused and said: "Besides, this is what the fourth master meant."

Earlier, the fourth master had intended to propose Li as a concubine, but every time she found a reason to refuse, now the side concubine is about to come in, so this concubine is not bad.

Madam Xu sighed and stopped talking.If it's my aunt's intention, it's really polite to only take Mrs. Li as a concubine.

The age difference between the girl and the uncle is quite large. When the girl came into the mansion, the uncle had several concubines in the backyard, but all the women in the backyard were not as favored as Li Shi alone, if it wasn't for Li Shi who was brought by the uncle from outside. The orphan girl who came in had a lower status, and she might have become a concubine long ago, and she would still be a maid with no name and no role like she is now.

"But this Mrs. Li..." Mammy is a little worried, this Mrs. Li is just a maid who has hooked up my uncle like this. If she becomes a concubine, then she will be a concubine... I'm afraid their girls will really stand up in the future. The land is gone.

"Don't worry." Zhang forced a smile and said: "The two places of side concubine have been taken, and she can only stop at concubine concubine in this life, unless..."

Zhang's eyes turned cold, "Unless she has the ability, first pull down the two side concubines who are about to enter the mansion."

If Mrs. Li has this ability, it's not bad, she is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Mrs. Zhang rubbed her stomach and ordered: "You ask someone to inquire about the side concubine who is about to enter the mansion?"

After thinking about it, it was the side concubine whom she had never seen before that made her worry more. She didn't know her family background and her temperament, which made it difficult for her to make a move.

She pondered and said: "The side concubine is different from the concubine concubine. It is said that there should be a decree in this palace, but there is still no news. If it wasn't for the nuns in other courtyards who suddenly ordered such a wedding set, just I'm afraid we don't know about it yet, this side concubine is so weird, you just ask someone to find out which family's girl it is and what kind of temperament it is."

"Yes." Madam Xu said hastily, "Old slave, let someone inquire about it."

Not only Mrs. Zhang was inquiring about the side concubine who lives in Renjun Prince's Mansion, but also Jia's Mansion and Mo Yuanda were also inquiring about this matter.

Jia Yuan didn't believe it, "Are you really sure that the family that took concubines recently is the family of the Fourth Prince?"

"Absolutely." Mo Yuanda nodded heavily, "In the past few days, I let my wife stay in the rouge workshop in person, and only the fourth prince's mansion ordered a wedding set."

Jia Daishan still didn't believe it, "It...it's hard to say that the one who ordered something must be the side concubine."

After all, Jia Daishan is a man, so he knows about those women's cosmetics. According to him, isn't it natural for women to buy cosmetics?Almost every time the Jinjiang Rouge Workshop releases a new product, Mrs. Li buys it immediately, and every time she buys something, it can't prove anything.

"That is a dowry makeup set, not an ordinary cosmetic." It is impossible for someone who is not married soon to spend a lot of money on this dowry makeup set.

At this time, Mo Yuanda's expression was like a makeup artist seriously explaining to customers what is red bean paste color and what is rose color. Said it was for some side concubine or empress."

Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan looked at each other, although they still don't know what to wear and what not to wear, but they still understand the principle that the concubine doesn't need to be red.

Jia Yuan patted his thigh, "No wonder I couldn't find Old Man Wang no matter how I searched, it turned out that he was hiding in the fourth prince's courtyard."

This person lived in the man's house before he entered the house. It seems that old man Wang really spent his money this time, and he didn't even want face.

But...how could it be the Fourth Prince?

Those who have a little understanding in this court will not look at the fourth prince. It's not that the fourth prince is worse than the crown prince and the first prince, but that his foundation is too weak, and it is a joke at all to succeed in seizing the heir.To put it bluntly, I'm afraid even my old brother has more capital than him.

If the Holy Majesty had another 30 or [-] years to fully support the Fourth Prince, he might still be able to compete, but the Holy Spirit passed half a century last year, and I am afraid that there will not be many days before the Fourth Prince wants to succeed... unless the first few princes commit crimes. It is possible to make a big mistake, or to die.

Even he can see this kind of thing clearly, with old man Wang's shrewdness, how could he not see clearly?

Jia Yuan couldn't figure it out, but in the end he could only give up, but...

"Old man Wang is hiding in the prince's courtyard... It's going to be difficult now."

Originally, according to their original idea, it would be enough to just arrest the person and ask him clearly, but he is hiding in the prince's courtyard, no matter how much they look down on the fourth prince, they can't rush into the prince's courtyard to arrest him. people.

"As long as no one finds out." Mo Yuanda replied indifferently with a relaxed face.

Jia Daishan shook his head, "If you don't alarm people to arrest them, it would be so easy."

When is this storytelling?Although their Jia family also has some servants who are good at martial arts, but those are just superficial fisting skills.

Mo Yuanda pondered slightly, "Leave this to me! But..." He stared straight at Jia Yuan, "Can you guarantee that after you catch someone, you will be able to get the truth out of his mouth?"

With Mo San and Mo Si around, it was not difficult to catch the old man of the Wang family. The hard part was how to open his mouth and figure out the twists and turns behind it.

"Don't worry!" Jia Yuan smiled coldly, "Leave this matter to me."

It was not luck that he got into the position of Duke Rong.

Mo Yuanda acted very quickly, and sent Mo San and Mo Si to the other courtyard on the same day to invite Mrs. Wang to visit the mansion.

Mo San and Mo Si's martial arts are already comparable to the first-class masters in the Jianghu. It is not difficult to get someone out secretly. Besides, the Prince's Courtyard is just a good name, and the place is a bit big, but when it comes to strict gate control, But it is far inferior to ordinary people in Beijing.

Mo San and Mo Siyi couldn't hide their anger when they heard that the fourth prince was holding back the young master behind his back. Mo San said bluntly, "Brother, why don't we just give the fourth prince to..."

Mo San made a gesture and continued: "It will be over at that time, and it will save this person from dragging the young master's hind legs behind his back."

"No!" Mo Yuanda gave Mo San a blank look, "Let's not say that he is the prince, he is the young master's brother, if you kill him, how will you let the young master deal with himself?"

No matter how disappointed he was with the fourth prince, the young master never wanted his life. If they made their own decisions, the young master would not be happy either.

When it comes to being the young master's brothers, Mo San and Mo Si are like deflated balls. Although the young master treats them like family members, they are not the young master's brothers after all. Naturally, there must be a certain sense of proportion, which cannot be surpassed.Furthermore, when the two thought of the young master's other brother, they really didn't dare.

Mo Yuanda reminded: "No matter how good the young master treats us, the young master is still the young master after all, there is a sense of propriety, you two have to know how to handle it."

Right now, the young master is only the king of Rongjun, but it is impossible to say that he will become the prince of Rong in a few years, and he is more likely to sit on that position. Sooner or later, Mo San and Mo Si will follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. When facing the young master, you have to know the middle ground How to handle it.

"Also..." Mo Yuanda stared directly at Mo San, and reminded: "You must be careful about this matter, and you must not let Mrs. He know."

He's biological father is He's aide under the fourth prince's command, so we must guard against it.

Mentioning the He family, Mo San's eyes dimmed. He didn't think about many things at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it... he felt something was wrong. Bringing out the meaning of admiration for the fourth prince, thinking about it now, I'm afraid there is something wrong with it.

Mo San's eyes turned cold, "If that woman is uneasy, I...I'll divorce her!"

"You don't need to worry, maybe it's not that serious."

Mo Yuanda pondered and said: "I have had someone check it out, and the He family is indeed the eldest daughter of the staff member He. With the staff member He's temperament, he should not let her do anything against women's morals, but she and the other side are after all There are too many involved, you have to be careful when you speak in the future, and you must not leak the matter of the young master."

Mo San replied: "I understand."

"Besides, you have to be careful, Mo Si." Mo Yuanda pointed out: "Mr. Mo and Mrs. He are sisters-in-law after all, and they have close contacts. Maybe Mrs. He will learn about the 01:30 o'clock from Mrs. Mo's side." Yes, what shouldn’t be said must never be said.”

Mo Si put on a bitter face, "No way! Isn't this treating my own wife as a thief?"

How can he live this day.

"It won't take long." Mo Yuanda hesitated, "If there are no accidents, it will take about a year or so. There should be a result."

Mo San and Mo Si cheered up, "Brother, do you want to..."

After knowing that the young master is the prince, some of the weird behaviors of the eldest brother in the past have a reasonable explanation. Although they think that the eldest brother is a bit whimsical, they agree with them in private.

In the past few years in Beijing, they have somewhat understood the creature of the prince. The prince they saw was either as eccentric as Young Master Ye, with a sick mind, or as the fourth prince who only cared about power. People, it's better for the young master to be the emperor, at least the young master is really thinking about the common people.

Mo Yuanda nodded slightly, but sighed helplessly: "However, this matter is not up to us to decide. In the end, it depends on the young master's will."

After what happened last time, he knew that he shouldn't make up his own mind for the young master. Moreover, this matter is so big that it naturally depends on the young master's wishes. However, after the incident in Henan, he is [-]% sure that the young master will accept it. This issue.

Mo San and Mo Si couldn't help showing a little disappointment.

Mo San was more thoughtful than Mo Si, and asked: "Brother said that there will be results in a year and a half, is it...?"

Is the old emperor's body almost unable to hold on?

Mo Yuanda pondered for a long time, "I see that the princes may not be able to wait any longer, at least a year or so before a decision is made."

Whether the Wang family suddenly sacrificed their eldest grandson, or suddenly married Wang Jiaojiao into the fourth prince's mansion, there is a message behind it all, that is...

The princes don't want to play with Emperor Pingkang anymore.

Mo Yuanda's eyes drooped slightly, Miao Jiangsu had a thing of raising Gu, if one of the people who raised Gu was not good, he would be backlashed, and Emperor Pingkang used the throne as his lure and his sons as Gu, now... also Was backlashed.
