There was a moment of silence.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xue Baochai thought for a while, and then said: "There are still some rumors circulating, but I can't remember them clearly. After all, over the years, there have been a lot of news circulating in the mansion, and the news circulating outside the mansion is even more divergent. No one knows. Which one is right. But in our mansion, we did have thoughts about Master Yun, but for some reason, we let it go."

Jiang Ling leaned heavily on the big tree behind him, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The melodious sound of the Buddha's horn echoed in the air, and the lingering aroma mixed with the fresh breath after the rain echoed in the Kongmeng Valley for a long time.Xue Baochai seemed to have completely fallen into a dream, looked at Jiang Ling in front of him, and murmured to himself: "Also, there is a gossip that Master Yun is the reincarnation of a vixen, so he is like a fish in water in the palace, even' The horoscope of the birthday and the fortune of the country are in conflict with each other', and they can't shake the favor of the Lord Long Live. Therefore, someone suggested to the second wife, "We should let the eldest girl change her life with her, and exchange her fortune, so that our house can flourish." .' This is also what a woman said."

Speaking of this, Xue Baochai suddenly let out a long breath, as if he had finally said something that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Jiang Ling's voice was a little rough: "I remember they once said that the eldest girl's birthday is very good."

Xue Baochai was startled, shook his head and said: "But not many people will believe this. If the eldest girl's birth date is good, how can she not have a son and a half daughter? I heard from my mother that since the imperial concubine entered the Since the beginning of the palace, it has been on the cusp of the storm. On the surface, it seems that the honor is unlimited and it is promoted step by step, but in fact, it has never been honored by the emperor. It is just an empty shell. Some people say that the emperor got tired of it early Rongning and Ningfu do not want to give birth to an heir with the blood of the Jia family, and they have not been summoned for more than ten years."

Jiang Ling let out a sigh of relief.More than ten years ago, Kangxi was very scheming.

However, if Kangxi was not scheming, he would not have secured the throne.

In this way, as early as a long time ago, the Rongguo Mansion was already on the blacklist of the royal family, and now it's just a concentrated outbreak... Jiang Ling recalled what he said back then, and couldn't help thinking again, whether he was right or wrong.

I really don't want to hurt innocent people, but I don't want to benefit certain people.

Jiang Ling pursed her lips tightly, her face turned pale.She asked: "Then how many people are there in your mansion?"

If there are not many people left in the Rongguo mansion... Xue Baochai said: "Oh, that's what the master asked. There are not many people in the mansion. Half of them were dismissed a few years ago, and now a lot of them have been dismissed piecemeal. , except for a few confidant maids, there are only a few masters left in the mansion. I heard earlier that Master Yun's son Zhai is kind-hearted, and even paid for the maids in the mansion by himself, so that they can get married with peace of mind People, have a very good future, and the servant girls who have such thoughts in the mansion all seek to leave the mansion by themselves."

Jiang Ling murmured: "In other words, there are actually not many people left."

Xue Baochai continued: "That's exactly the case. Now that the Rongguo Mansion is in danger of protecting itself, it is inappropriate to raise so many maids and servants. It is already a great gift to be able to raise a few capable ones. As I said before, we should take advantage of the big Miss, Miss Lin, and you, Master Yun, have raised your value to the Rongguo Mansion and married the second girl. Now the third girl is also discussing marriage. Only the fourth girl is still young, and she clamors every day to cut her hair and do it. No one can persuade my aunt to go. This..."

Jiang Ling asked: "Who did the second girl marry?" She had never heard of the name Zhongshan Wolf.

Xue Baochai said: "I married a small official who was released from the outside world, and my family is well-off, but I don't have any fame."

Jiang Ling let out a soft oh.Instead of marrying Zhongshan Wolf, he married a small official who was released outside, and his future destiny has also changed.Jia Yingchun should be able to live a better life with a wealthy family but no fame, presumably because of the name of the Rongguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling felt a little relieved, and asked again: "What about you Miss Xiangyun?"

Jiang Ling remembered clearly that Shi Xiangyun was also on the list that Mrs. Wang wanted to send to the palace that day.

Xue Baochai said: "Miss Xiangyun is still in her mansion. It is said that in two days, she will come to live in the mansion."

There was another moment of silence.

Jiang Ling felt a dull pain in his mind, and when he thought about what they said just now, and his original actions, his mind became even more confused.It is true that there are many dirty things in Rongguo Mansion, and Jiang Ling didn't want to help everyone, but just tried his best to bring some innocent people out of the fire pit.But now it seems that her meager strength seems to have gone too far.

Since most of the girls in Rongguo Mansion have already jumped out, let's stop here.

In the future, no matter what will happen to their old lady, second wife, or those wives who make up their minds, she doesn't want to care at all.In fact, sometimes, Jiang Ling really wanted to push the boat along.

For example, Jiang Ling really wanted her to taste what it means to borrow a life from the snarky woman in Rongguo Mansion.

Jiang Ling thought bitterly for a moment, and because it was getting late, she lightly flicked two fingers to send Xue Baochai out of the dream, and woke up in reality.

The leak in the corner of the wall was drizzling, and it had just passed the three o'clock line.

Those female officials had already returned from lunch, and were preparing to give Jiang Ling a new textbook, so that Jiang Ling could learn how to be a better woodcarving and clay sculpture.Because Jiang Ling heard those words in the dream, his spirit was a little listless, and he didn't even have enough strength. In addition, he deliberately made a deadpan expression, which was more like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

The ladies are still very satisfied today.It is said that the queen mother is also very satisfied.

In this way, Jiang Ling, who was dumb and expressionless, didn't look like a vixen.

When Jiang Ling heard the Queen Mother's verdict on her, he couldn't laugh or cry again.

Later, the nanny who went out to inquire about the news came back.Jiang Lingping dismissed the female officer and asked the nanny to sit down, and heard the nanny say: "Now the capital is in a mess, and even the prince's reputation is useless. It is said that the accounts of the Ningguo Mansion have been moved to the desk of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, one by one. You are right with the old man, but if you make a mistake, you have to record it in the case of Ningguo Mansion. Those slaves have been imprisoned by the government, and there are still many people who want to kill their relatives righteously, but it is just a pity. It’s a little drizzle. It is said that the penalty salary has been provisionally set for three years, but what the consequences will be, we have to wait for the results from the King of Beijing before we can draw a conclusion.”

Jiang Ling listened quietly for a while, then asked again: "What about the Jinling Protector Talisman?"

The mother said: "This is the 'party struggle' that the emperor hates the most. Although it is far away in Jinling and has nothing to do with the capital, but if this kind of intertwined atmosphere is brought to the court, it will be a big deal." It is said that the emperor has issued a decree to cut off all these intertwined ties, and the court will not allow these people to control them, and also dismissed several officials who were involved, and even involved a prince. That prince is said to be the backer of the Jinling royal family's business in the capital for a long time."

The depression in Jiang Ling's chest dissipated a lot, and he said, "Go on. Is there any more?"

The mother said again: "At the beginning of the year, Xue's family committed a crime, in the middle of the year, the Wang family was dismissed from office, and at the end of the year, Jia's family was destroyed in half. These three things combined, and more than half of the Jinling official talisman was torn. Although there is still a historian There is no movement, but the aunt of the Shi family is the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion. A girl from the Shi family will be taken to the Rongguo Mansion in a few days. The crippled, the crippled, there is only one historian left. If they don't cling to it, I'm afraid they can't stand it anymore."

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and murmured, "So..."

The mother continued: "Originally, the Jia family had another relative, the Lin family in Gusu. But because of the death of the head of the Lin family, this relationship gradually faded away. Later, the cousin married the King of Beijing as his concubine. , it gradually got better. But King Beijing is the person who presides over the investigation of the household department this time, so how can they be allowed to talk again. It is said that the Rongguo Mansion has been in a hurry these days, and the masters tried to give Beijing Wang handed over the post, and the wives and girls also tried to communicate with the princess, but they were all rejected."

Jiang Ling nodded secretly.This is the reason why Mrs. Wang blocked the door when King Beijing took Lin Daiyu away ten days ago.

She thought about the matter back and forth for a while, and vaguely sorted out a clue, but because the matter was not clear, the thread was still looming, and she couldn't pull it out.However, in the dream just now, the words of Mother Jia and Xue Baochai made Jiang Ling feel upset again, so she said to Mammy: "But I don't know if Mammy has a chance to leave the palace in the past two days? For example, for me Go out and buy a piece of jewelry, or fulfill a wish?"

Now that Jiang Ling is pregnant, it is inconvenient to leave the Changchun Palace, so she hopes that the nuns can go and see for her.

The nanny thought for a while, and said: "Go to the temple to fulfill the vow for the master, it's a must."

Jiang Ling said quickly: "Okay. So I'm going to ask you to do two things for me: the first thing is to find out clearly what is going on in the Rongguo Mansion's scheming to recognize me as an adopted daughter (this thing happened in the dream The second thing is that the Rongguo Mansion once wanted to borrow my life to exchange luck for the eldest girl of their family. You can ask what is going on. If the timing is right, then Bring this matter to the Empress Dowager. Be ruthless and steady."

Since the Empress Dowager believes in her fate, she might as well take this opportunity to let the Empress Dowager witness this matter with her own eyes.

But I don't know, if the Queen Mother saw with her own eyes that someone wanted her to change lives with Jia Yuanchun, what kind of expression would she have.

The mother thought for a while, then said: "The first thing is easy to handle. But the second thing, the queen mother will not leave the palace easily."

Jiang Ling smiled, and said: "You just go and do it. I will try to get the Queen Mother out of the palace for a few days."

The nanny breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will not disgrace my life when I wait."

Before Jiang Ling entered the palace, the lord left two nuns, two wet nurses, and four new nuns in the capital.Jiang Ling brought two people into the palace, and the remaining six stayed in the mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, taking care of themselves and waiting for Jiang Ling's orders.Jiang Ling has treated them very well these years, and now it should be extremely easy for them to inquire about the news.

Even the two nuns in the palace don't need to go out much.

Jiang Ling carefully instructed for a while to make sure that nothing was missed, and then calmed down for the time being.

After the nuns left, only the eunuchs and maids remained in the palace, as well as the empress dowager and a few female officials left behind by the empress dowager.Jiang Ling rested for a while, and then on the next day, he created a dream for the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to go out of the palace to worship the Buddha and fulfill her vows.Of course, in order to show piety, this time the Empress Dowager did not bring anyone besides her two trusted nuns.

On the third day, news spread that the Rongguo Mansion was going to do something.

Jiang Ling waited quietly in the palace until noon, when she excused herself to go back to the room for a nap, she pushed all the female officials out.

Then, like the day before, she created a dream and led Mrs. Xing into the dream.

Why choose Mrs. Xing is actually very particular.

She had just met Jia Mu and Xue Baochai two days ago, if they met again today, it would inevitably make people suspicious.It just so happened that Mrs. Xing was the eldest grandma in the house, and she happened to be pushed to the periphery of the power center. She was also used to protecting herself wisely, and she just met the feeling of "seeing everything in her eyes, but not being defensive" Therefore, he was brought into the dream by Jiang Ling.

In the dream, it was still the Rongguo Mansion in winter, rich and beautiful, full of peace and tranquility.

Mrs. Xing walked slowly in the garden, and said to herself, "It's been a long time since I've been so quiet. Although I know it's a dream, I still can't help but make people feel happy." She took two steps slowly, and suddenly After a pause in her steps, she said: "No, the mansion is in chaos now. The old lady was really bewildered, and actually forged an adoption document, saying that Concubine Yun is from the mansion... who would believe that. The second room The one in the house was even more bewildered. He actually listened to other people's words and wanted to change the lives of Yuanchun and Concubine Yun. Let me tell you, no one in this mansion would believe in the theory of life-changing except for the one in Erfang who ate fast and recited Buddha's name. Really. It's a rush to the doctor."
