Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one

When Sun Qing was in the south of the Yangtze River, he was a star among the stars, how had he ever been teased like this?But when you really go to the inner courtyard of the palace, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs.Sun Qing raised his eyes to see the backs of Daiyu and Su Su, and secretly squeezed his hands in his sleeves. Although he didn't show it on his face, a wave of hatred arose from the bottom of his heart.

After returning from the banquet, everyone in the Lin family felt tired and took a bath and changed their clothes.Daiyu's brother and sister asked their parents to say hello, and then went to bed separately.

The next day, Jia Min sent the woman in charge to send eighteen palace flowers to Jia's mansion. Women get two pairs.Madam Zheng, the usual woman in charge of Jia Min, sent it to Jia's mansion in person and handed it over to Jia's mother.

Nanny Zheng waited for a quarter of an hour at the porter's room before the third-class woman from Jia's mansion came out to pick her up. She followed her to Mother Jia's room. Nanny Zheng greeted her first before explaining her intentions. Make it clear.Because Mrs. Wang, who is in charge of the family, is at odds with Jia Min, some servants of Jia's mansion don't like Lin's family.And because Mother Jia still had some hope to get closer to the Lin family, and because all of Mother Jia's servants, Mother Zheng, were extremely polite.

Naturally, Mother Jia knew that Mrs. Wang and Jia Min had never been on good terms, so she had to dismiss Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who were talking in the room, and asked Yuanyang to bring a scorpion to sit on for Nanny Zheng, so that Nanny Zheng could not speak up.Mother Jia asked a lot of questions: "How are your aunts and aunts?"Brother Cheng is studying well, the girl is busy with something all day long, so she doesn't come to our house to play with the sisters.

Madam Zheng answered one by one: Our master and wife are both well. My brother and son have been the companions of the third emperor's grandson, and go to Xie Shangshu's mansion to study with the third emperor's grandson every day.The girl is now studying to run the house, but she doesn't go out much, not just when she comes to Mrs. Yue's house.Our master, wife, brothers and girls all greeted Mrs. Yue.In the end, he chatted a few more words before taking his leave.Only Madam Zheng was very strange all the way back to the Lin Mansion: for some reason, Mother Jia's spirit looked extremely bad, and she was very haggard.

Mother Jia and a few confidantes in the room became more and more envious when they heard that Young Master Lin was reading with the emperor's grandson again.Only the servants in front of Jia Mu are used to flattering Jia Mu, and they always feel that the Duke's Mansion is decent, so how can they show envy to be inferior?So it doesn't show on the face.

After Mother Zheng left, Mother Jia opened the brocade box sent by the Lin family, and saw that the fake flowers piled with yarn and beads in the brocade box were lifelike, and they were indeed better than the one piled with yarn sent by the Xue family.How many branches are divided into each girl, Mother Zheng made it clear, naturally it is based on the identity of each girl, there is no mistake or omission.But Jia Mu thought that the three young girls around her were raised in front of her. They all had the same hairpin and ring costumes, and the pearls and flowers given today were suddenly given as expected.

Mother Jia pondered the meeting, called Amber and said, "After the meeting, you can send it to some girls. The three girls and girl Feng are two pairs, and there is one pair left. Give it to girl Yun when she comes some other day." After that, he gave orders to everyone in the room: "No one is allowed to spread what Madam Zheng of the Lin family said today, and whoever says it will annoy the girls, let's see who I can spare!" The people waiting in Jiamu's room nodded should be.

Speaking of Xiangyun, Jia's mother always picked it up to make fun of her for the sake of the historian's family.It's just for fun, and it's the original intention to make a pair with Baoyu. Naturally, Xiangyun is not the first choice, it's just a preparation.Daiyu was the granddaughter-in-law that Jiamu was most satisfied with before. Now, seeing the face of the Lin family, Daiyu's identity, appearance, bearing, and knowledge, Baoyu did not have this fate; later Jiamu turned to Xiangyun.

Although Xiangyun has no father or mother, Shi Nai and his wife dare not treat Xiangyun badly at all.What Shi Nai got was the title of eldest brother, if it was reported that Xiang Yun was treated harshly, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Marquis Bowling's Mansion in vain?Therefore, Xiangyun was chosen as the grandson's wife, and Baoyu's mansion would be indispensable to Baoyu in the future.In addition, Baoyu and Xiangyun grew up together as children, and it is good to have the friendship of being close to each other.Unexpectedly, as soon as the news of the general election came out, the historian wanted to send Xiangyun into the palace, and girl Yun didn't come often.

After Amber went out to deliver the palace flowers, Mrs. Wang came to Jia Mu's room to talk again.After dismissing the irrelevant servants, Mrs. Wang said: "According to what the old lady just said, Yuan Chun's situation in the palace is actually very difficult at the moment? The old lady said that Yuan Chun was not watched at the palace banquet, so I don't know what the old lady said." Did anyone inquire? The old lady is knowledgeable, but she has an idea." It turned out that before Madam Zheng came, Mother Jia was worried about Yuanchun's situation, so Madam Zheng saw Mother Jia's face like that.

Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang who was standing at the bottom and said: "How many people are there at the palace banquet, who is the one in the cold palace who is easy to inquire about? If you accidentally let someone overhear you, you don't know how to die! You are always lawless, don't you want to Is it possible for my old lady to cause trouble everywhere like you? Some of the palace servants next to the Leng Palace were released, and some continued to work in the palace, but we Yuanchun neither saw anyone nor released, do you think I I'm not worried about beating the granddaughter who was raised by my side?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang lowered her head and said, "But besides the old lady, who else can a daughter-in-law ask for now? The old lady should only love Yuanchun."

Mother Jia sighed and said: "On the day of the palace banquet, after I left the palace gate, I asked Princess Nan'an for a few words. Although Princess Nan'an didn't know what happened to that person in the Leng Palace, she did not know anything wrong. The air-permeable wall also let the concubine know a little bit about the people who served the palace next to Zhen. The sage did not punish the people in Jingren Palace, but sent them to the cold palace together. Most of the people who were released were those who had no family members. Those who are powerful, many of them are from good backgrounds, and they have not been implicated, and have been assigned to other palaces. Those who have not yet come out, I am afraid they are still in the cold palace with the Zhen family. If we Yuanchun want to come out, now is the last time. A good way is to follow the footsteps of Concubine Wu."

After finishing speaking, Mother Jia stared at Mrs. Wang with piercing eyes. Mrs. Wang felt that this gaze pierced people's hearts, and she felt timid in her heart.

After being stared at by the old lady without blinking for a moment, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and said with some guilt: "What is the old lady doing looking at my daughter-in-law like this? Could it be that the daughter-in-law's face is not clean?"

Jia Mu snorted coldly and said, "Your face is very clean. Didn't all the servants in the house say that you are a Bodhisattva-like person? I'm afraid your heart is not clean! If you didn't offend others, our family Why are you desperate now?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and said with a full face of grievance: "What did the old lady say? Except that I didn't do anything when I was about to enter the mansion, and I didn't speculate with my aunt, how could I offend other people?" What’s more, that was how many years ago, my aunt still remembers the idea of ​​being unhappy and doesn’t want to associate with us, it turned out that she was unfilial, why did the old lady blame her daughter-in-law?”

Mother Jia said angrily: "There are no outsiders now, and I'm not afraid to talk about you. You just have shallow eyelids. Back then, you deliberately embarrassed Min'er for the sake of adding makeup to the old man. Now it seems that the old man still has eyesight. Just think about how much help this good relationship we formed can give your master, just think about it. Only this good relationship has made you an enemy!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Mu sighed again and said, "Of course I can't blame you all. I am also wrong. After you entered the door, you gave birth to Zhu'er, Yuanchun and Baoyu one after another. I think for your credit, I depend on you in many things, even if I don't like what you do in my heart, I just turn a blind eye. I won't talk about the matter of forcing Min'er to enter the palace. No. But after Min'er and his wife were released, if you bought those low-end gifts for three festivals and two birthdays, whoever saw them would be angry. I think it's up to you in front of the three grandchildren. Now I see It was a big mistake! If I had carefully arranged a good gift for Min Er, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this now."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang bowed her head and was speechless.It turned out that because of Jia Min's good looks, when Mrs. Wang came in, Jia Min was not married. Mrs. Wang persuaded Jia's mother to send Jia Min to the palace to be selected.If Jia Min enters the palace, he will have to rely on his two elder brothers.If Jia Min is not favored, it's fine. How many concubines who are not favored die in the deep palace, and it doesn't hinder the parents and brothers outside; if Jia Min is favored, who else can he rely on if he doesn't rely on his two elder brothers?At that time, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng will benefit from it.Jia's mother is also a lover of wealth and splendor. After hearing such words, she was also moved.

Only when Jia Daishan was still alive, Jia Daishan was the only sensible man among the men of the Jia family. He had already seen that the men in the Jia family who could not stand up would sooner or later fall, so he wanted to find a scholarly family to marry.At that time, Mrs. Wang's wife had said that Jia's mother was moved, but Jia Daishan resolutely went out of her way to make Jia Min lose the election. Later, she made an appointment with Lin Ruhai, the son of Wenbohou's family.And because Jia Daishan knew that the country had stabilized, military officers would be less and less useful in the future, so he put on a lot of make-up for Jia Min, and married the Lin family with sincerity.After Jia Min passed through the door, before leaving Beijing, Mrs. Wang often wentssip about Jia Min's dowry being too grand.

As for why Jia Daishan chose Lin Ruhai, it was because Jia Daishan galloped on the battlefield in his early years, and Jia Shishi was the master of his family.Jia Shi was born in the Hou family, but the old Shihou was also from the army, so he didn't teach his daughter carefully.Jia Shi himself had limited knowledge and did not know how to raise his two sons, so he doted on Jia She and Jia Zheng blindly.Later, when Jia Daishan came back from the frontier, Jia Amnesty had grown up and changed his temperament, so he couldn't study well and make progress.Jia Zheng was only half a year old, so Jia Daishan had no choice but to pin his hopes on his youngest son, so he pushed him very hard.What Jia Daishan meant, of course, was that he hoped that Jia Zheng would gain fame, but he would not be able to reach the level of Jinshi. If he had fame, he would be able to talk about a lady of a scholarly family with the help of Yue's family. rich.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng is useless. Every time he takes the exam, he always fails the ranking, and he doesn't even get a scholar.Jia Zheng is growing up day by day, how can such a person really get the favor of a scholarly family?That's why I talked about the young lady of the Wang family, the current Jia Wang family.

Of Jia Daishan's direct children, only Jia Min was young, and Jia Daishan personally raised them after returning from the frontier, so Jia Min's talent and appearance are much better than his two elder brothers, and it is his father's credit.Because of Jia Min's talent, learning, and appearance, the Jia family finally got married in a scholarly family.Marriage is good for two surnames, Jia Daishan thought that Jia's family has relatives like the Lin family, and in the future grandchildren will abandon martial arts and follow literature, and there will be someone to help them, so he is very satisfied.Thanks to Jia Min's well-bred self, Mrs. Wenbohou also liked it.Jia Min and Lin Ruhai became husband and wife, harmonious and loving.In the previous life, he was persecuted and his family was destroyed, but in this life, he is very good.

And because Jia Daishan is the Duke of the state, Jia Min is naturally going to participate in the general election. Based on Jia Min's background and appearance, he is [-] to [-]% sure that he will be selected.At that time, the Jia Wang family had already entered the door, and wished that Jia Min would be elected so that he could help his brother.Unexpectedly, Jia Min didn't want to enter the palace, and Jia Daishan also doted on her, so he went the other way and failed to be elected to deal with the Lin family.Only later did Jia Min leave the cabinet, and Jia Wang's reputation was ruined.In the previous life, it had been many years since Jia Min passed away, and the Jia Wang family still had a deep grudge, because the Jia Wang family thought that if it wasn't for the Lin family, Jia Zheng would be the uncle of the country.

After Jia Daishan passed away, the conflict between Jia Wang's family and Jia Min deepened. As for the later Jia Wang's collusion with the Zhen family to kill Lin Feng and seize the Lin family's wealth for personal gain, it was shocking.But Jia Min's happy marriage after losing the election didn't make Jia Wang sober: she always thought that it was a great honor to have a female family member enter the palace to be the empress, and only the parents and brothers outside could get the best help.So she was still obsessed with it later, and asked Jia's mother to teach Yuanchun, and then hid in the main room, and let Yuanchun enter the palace as the granddaughter of the Duke's mansion.

It's just that Jia Zheng and his wife live in the Rongxi Hall, after all, the Ministry of Rites will not break the rules because of this, the identity of Jia Yuanchun's Duke and Miss is just what everyone says on the plaque of the Rongguo Mansion.On Jia Yuanchun's jade plate registered in the palace, after all, it was the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and Jia Yuanchun could only be selected to enter the palace.

Jia Wangshi listened to what Jiamu scolded her for having shallow eyelids, and recalled the past for a while. Jia Wangshi faintly felt that Jiamu's words were reasonable, but she couldn't accept it in her heart. She thought: The old lady had the same mind and vision as me, so she Back then, not only did he approve of Jia Min's entry into the palace, but he also worked hard to arrange Yuanchun's entry into the palace.Now relying on being an elder, he blames me wholeheartedly.

Although Jia Wang was dissatisfied in her heart, she said embarrassingly: "The old lady has taught you the right thing. It turns out that the old lady has a lot of knowledge. The daughter-in-law was short-sighted back then, but she acted wrongly. But now that the matter has come to this point, the old lady has to make up her mind. That's good. Since the maids of other families have released them, please ask the old lady to find an old friend and release Yuan Chun as well."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when someone from outside reported, "Master Xia, the eunuch of the six palaces, is here." When someone came, everyone in Jia's family was frightened, and they hurriedly ordered people to come in.

Jia Zheng personally welcomed Xia Shouzhong in and asked him why he came.The eunuch Xia drank the good tea from Jia's family and looked around at everyone. Jia's mother hurriedly dismissed the irrelevant people. Epidemic. So that Lao Fengjun will know that such a place has got such a disease again. It was originally sealed up and waited to die. But I think that Lao Fengjun seems to have a granddaughter still in it, so I came here today to send a letter. I was also afraid that the little eunuch's message would be wrong, so I went there myself. If that Lady Jia Shi doesn't come out again, it will be very bad if she catches the epidemic."

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they were almost terrified.Fortunately, Mother Jia is old and has some insight, so she tried her best to calmly say: "I thank Master Xia for the virtue of reporting the letter. I do have a granddaughter in the palace. It's just that the granddaughter of the old body is not weak when she is young. I don't think I will get it." What a serious illness, it's just an occasional cold. If Master Xia can cure the old granddaughter's cold, I will be grateful."

If Eunuch Xia caught the epidemic in the cold palace, he would not take it seriously, but told the Jia family that they might deal with the Zhen family and the palace people around them.And when Jiamu asked for medical treatment, she naturally asked Xia Shouzhong for help and pointed out the way. Such a cleverness seemed very shallow.

Xia Shouzhong was very sensible when he saw Jia Mu, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he sneered and said sharply: "I'm not an imperial doctor, how can I cure any disease? But I have a prescription that has always been effective. Maybe Lao Fengjun's granddaughter will be cured after taking it. Alright, I wonder if Lao Feng is willing to give it a try?"
