House seemingly endless rain.

These seven words were used to describe the Ningguo Mansion, it couldn't be more appropriate.

As early as a month ago, the king of Beijing requested an order to investigate the household department, and the first operation was the Ningguo Mansion.At that time, the Ningguo Mansion was still struggling, and even pushed a few slaves to take the blame, calming down the anger of many people, and it was quiet for a while.But then there was a problem with the accounts of the Rongguo Mansion, and they had to sell the assets to balance the accounts, which also caused Jia Yuanchun to live in the mansion for six or seven days. When the incident happened to Mrs. Wang, Jia Yuanchun demoted the noble concubine to a concubine, the backer of the Rongguo Mansion Dumped more than half.As a result, the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion had to retreat to survive, and warned the children of the whole family not to go out, so as to avoid possible disasters.

Now that King Bei Jing came to Ningguo Mansion in person, and asked to see the old man by name, the entire mansion exploded.

There was no wife in charge in the Ningguo Mansion, so Jia Rong came forward to entertain King Beijing and a group of senior officials behind him, and sent someone out to invite the old man back to the mansion.It wasn't until noon that he saw Jia Jing in a Taoist robe, accompanied by two children of the Jia family, leisurely returning to the mansion.

Although King Beijing Jing was not angry, there was some unhappiness hidden in his words.

……

The matter of Ningguo Mansion is not over yet, another incident happened in Rongguo Mansion next door.

This morning, the old lady sent someone to the government office, trying to open up the door again, but was rejected.Originally, Rongguo Mansion was located in the capital, and it was regarded as a glittering golden signboard, and anyone who saw it would have to call him a lord.But since the incident of the Ministry of Household Affairs happened, this signboard has become gold-plated, not only the high-ranking officials bossed around, but even some small officials dared to choke.

Jia Lian, who went to work, was naturally frustrated, and the old lady almost lost her temper.

There was a lot of noise in Rongguo Mansion, and suddenly there was a burst of howling from the Ningguo Mansion next door. Everyone from the master to the maids looked bleak, like quail beaten by rain.Before King Beijing left, he brought another shocking news to the Rongguo Mansion: Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian had some dirty things about them, and Jia Zheng had just been laid off at home, so their titles in the mansion could not be lost. In the hands of these three people.As for who will attack the noble, let them figure it out by themselves.However, if no suitable candidate is found, the title of Rongguo Mansion will fall to the side branch of the Jia family.

Although the title of the Rongguo Mansion has been passed down to the present, it has already been first-class and then first-class and then first-class, but it is still a title after all.

Among other things, the annual salary and salary alone are four times higher than that of the first-rank officials in the court.

So in any case, this title cannot fall into the hands of side branch.If the King of Beijing Jing didn't let go, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. They tore out the regulations in the mansion and listened to them.

……

Jiang Ling woke up from his sleep.

The weather in the afternoon is fine, the sparse sunlight shines through the tree branches and slantly shines on the bluestone board, leaving mottled shadows.Two female officials were sitting under the tree, holding rulers in their hands, checking the palace rules over and over again.There are also two court ladies holding vases, walking through the long veranda, and are preparing to take advantage of the sunny weather to dry all the things in the house.A little further outside, there are a few little eunuchs sweeping the palace.

Jiang Ling stroked her belly lightly, and there was a gentle smile in her eyes.

It has been more than two months, and the waist and abdomen are slowly starting to show, and my lethargy has become more and more serious.Whenever she was resting, she could feel a small pulse in her abdomen, which was connected with herself, beating slowly.Jiang Ling didn't know whether it was her own special constitution, or every woman could feel the existence of a small life when she was pregnant, but every time she heard a tiny pulse beating that didn't belong to her, she would overflow with a trace of tenderness. Emotions.

a healthy baby.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but wonder, according to her special constitution, will this child be different from others when it is born?For example, will he (she) have the same ability to manipulate cold air, or the ability to escape the control of gravity, or...

Thinking about it, Jiang Ling became worried about the unborn child again.

After all, this is the world of Red Mansions.

After thinking wildly for a while in the room alone, Jiang Ling suddenly patted his forehead, put aside all those complicated thoughts, and went outside to bask in the sun.When the ladies and maids saw Jiang Ling coming out, they all knelt down and saluted to say hello.Jiang Ling responded with a smile, and went to the open space where the sun was the brightest, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the sunny feeling peacefully.

I have to say that the weather has become clearer, and even people's moods will improve.

I don't know when there is no sound around, it's very quiet, only the slight sound of my own breathing is left.

A pair of strong arms embraced her waist and abdomen, and Kangxi's voice sounded next to her ears: "Did you sleep well at noon?"

Jiang Ling was stunned.

There were high and low greetings behind him, and a warm body hugged him.Just as Jiang Ling was about to turn around, he heard Kangxi laughing and saying, "I heard from the imperial doctor this morning that as the child grows older, you will become more lethargic. Now, is it all right?"

Warm palms covered her lower abdomen, caressing her slightly raised waist.

Jiang Ling unconsciously replied: "It's - it's okay."

Kangxi hugged her whole body in his arms, and said with a smile: "That's good. Well, did you sleep soundly yesterday?"

He looked down at Jiang Ling in his arms, he was in a daze, and the roots of his ears were slightly red.There are two trembling light blue pearls on the earlobe, reflecting the luster in the sunlight.Those small and complicated patterns linger and spread on the bead surface.

Jiang Ling moved in his arms, then said in a low voice, "It's--it's okay."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing again, brushed her earlobe lightly with his fingers, and felt her trembling slightly in his arms.

"That's good." Kangxi said softly, "I heard that two days ago, Mama Huang bestowed a string of red coral beads, which Mama Huang has worn next to her body for 20 years, and they have the effect of calming the mind. You Take it with you."

Jiang Ling replied, and suddenly turned to look at Kangxi again, and asked, "Does your majesty know why the empress dowager gave this thing?"

why?

Kangxi was obviously stunned by her question, and he was a little uncertain: "Probably because the year is approaching."

He paused, and said with some uncertainty: "The queen mother told me this: the year is approaching, and the elders will give it to me."

Jiang Ling looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.The end of the year is approaching, and the elders give it. This is lucky money.

I didn't expect the queen mother to use this reason to prevaricate.

Jiang Ling thought about it, and then he was relieved.There should be some things that the queen mother doesn't want to announce.

"In that case, I would like to thank the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." Jiang Ling said in a low voice.

Kangxi also laughed, and sat with Jiang Ling for a while.Those court ladies and female officials around had left completely without knowing when.Even the little eunuchs outside sweeping the palace roads have disappeared.Jiang Ling nestled in Kangxi's arms, lightly fiddled with a button on his front, but he held his fingers, and said with a low smile, "Naughty."

Jiang Ling murmured lazily, and became stuffy in his arms again.

Kangxi stroked her shoulder lightly, and continued: "It's true that I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to take care of you. After this period of time, it will be fine." King Beijing just went to Ningguo Mansion this morning After that, Rongning and Ning's Second Mansion immediately issued a report, saying that there were many idlers in the clan, and they wanted to abandon their sons and elders, and choose a virtuous person to inherit the title.The person selected by the Ningguo Mansion was Jia Rong, and the person selected by the Rongguo Mansion was Jia Baoyu.

It is said that these two people are still young, have little experience in the world, and relatively few dirty things on their bodies.

Kangxi thought for a while, then asked Jiang Ling if he knew Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu.

Jiang Ling straightened up from his arms, mentioned what she knew, and asked in surprise: "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

Kangxi mentioned to Jiang Ling that Rongning Second Mansion wanted to change people.

Jiang Ling said in astonishment: "This... can't be done? Ningguo Mansion is fine, their uncle Rong is the eldest son and grandson of the family, and the title will fall to Jia Rong sooner or later. If you change someone, you can still be regarded as inheriting the title in advance. But Rongguo Mansion, not to mention there is a cousin Jia Lian, even the young Jia Lan should be in front of Jia Baoyu."

To be precise, in the entire Rongguo Mansion, except Mrs. Wang, no one wanted Jia Baoyu to get that position.

It goes without saying that Jia forgives Jia Lian; Jia's mother is a grandson and great-grandson who loves everyone, and although she does favor Jia Baoyu, she does not break the rules; In front of Jia Baoyu; as for Jia Baoyu himself, he hated official favors even more, and would not take the initiative to solicit this matter.Jia Zheng, will he listen to Mrs. Wang?

After Kangxi heard her words, he shook his head again and said, "The affairs of their mansion will naturally be handled by themselves. Since they handed over the paperwork to change people, then I only need to approve it." Besides, Rongning's second mansion has already Not much gas left.

When Kangxi thought of this, there was a flash of sternness in his eyes.

Jiang Ling was very close to him and keenly captured this emotion.She carefully considered her words and asked, "The emperor doesn't seem to like them much?"

Kangxi shook his head, unwilling to talk more.

Jiang Ling stopped asking.

The two sat in the sun for a while, and Kangxi was about to go back to deal with court affairs.Jiang Ling sent Kangxi out of the palace, and went back under the big tree just now, asked someone to move a soft couch there, and took a nap in a daze.The maids all knew that Jiang Ling was lethargic during this time, so they never disturbed her, and even moved around on tiptoe.

A faint scent wafted from Jiang Ling's fingertips, like the scent of winter plums in snow.

Almost at that moment, Jiang Ling created a brand new dream, and pulled the pearl girl from Rongguo Mansion into the dream.

Originally, Jiang Ling wanted to find Jia Mu, but because Jia Mu was still angry in Rongxi Hall, Pearl was on duty last night and did not fall asleep until morning.That wisp of light fragrance drifted into Jiamu's room, and she brought the pearl in without warning.

Jiang Ling had no choice but to create an identical Rongguo Mansion in the dream, but there were only the two of them.

Pearl stood in front of Jiamu's house, sweeping away the snow.

Jiang Ling walked up to Pearl, and asked with a smile, "Sister Pearl, why are you sweeping snow here?"

Pearl was startled, and the broom in her hand fell into the snow.When she saw Jiang Ling, she felt as if she had seen a ghost: "You, why are you here? Didn't you die of illness? I heard from the woman in the mansion that last year you were sent to a village in the country by your wife, and you were accidentally infected with He was seriously ill and passed away that summer. How, how..."

Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback.

Pearl cautiously walked in front of Jiang Ling, touched her cheek, and then said to herself, "It's hot. Hey, I understand, this must be a dream. Otherwise, how could the mansion be empty without even a single person?" None. I haven't swept snow in, long time."

Ever since Pearl was promoted to first-class maidservant, there is no need for Pearl to do these things.

Jiang Ling exchanged pleasantries with Pearl for a while, and then raised his question: "Sister Pearl, I heard that the mansion is going to let Second Master Bao become the noble?"

Pearl hissed softly, and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that no one saw them, she dragged Jiang Ling to the corner of the wall, and taught, "We can't say these words. What do the masters want to do? All you need to do is listen carefully. But—but the old lady did mention just now that the second master Bao should be crowned as noble. I listened in a daze."

Jiang Ling was surprised and said, "It's really the second master Bao? What about the other people, Kenyi?"

Pearl curled her lips, and said: "There is no one who is willing to agree. You don't know. A month ago, a big incident happened in the mansion, and half of the maids and servants were sent out of the mansion, and they haven't slowed down until now. Come on. Fortunately, the mansion has calmed down in the past two days. Second Grandma Huanbao was scolded several times for moving things in the mansion. Although Second Master Bao is now in power, Second Master Lian and Second Master, Grandma Zhu and The Second Mistress Bao is still arguing about this matter. If the Second Wife hadn’t been grounded and there was an old lady sitting in the Rongxi Hall, the current Rongguo Mansion might become a mess.”

Speaking of this, Pearl suddenly oops, and exclaimed: "I forgot, the old lady asked me to make a pot of good tea in the morning, so don't miss it." She hurried back to the house .Jiang Ling followed behind Pearl, watched her take tea leaves to boil water, and after a long time, asked:

"Then how did you decide on the matter of Second Master Bao?"

Pearl paused.

"I heard that if Second Master Bao can't settle down, the title in the mansion will be lost."
