Jiang Ling asked in surprise, "Did you lose it?"

Pearl nodded, and her voice became a little deeper: "The old and the young in our house, the two masters don't care about things, and most of them are charged with unclean and unclear crimes. It is hard to justify anyone who takes the title. Only Second Master Bao is still young and has few experiences. He is not like Lang Geer, he is still a baby. Therefore, it will fall to Second Master Bao. On your body. Think about it, how many sidelines are staring at a title that was obtained out of thin air."

Therefore, it would be better to make this position cheaper for Jia Baoyu than for others.

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and thought to himself, so that's the case.

Pearl unwrapped a tea bag, and said softly: "But it's not easy for Second Master Bao to inherit the title steadily. Earlier, when Second Grandma Bao's family was not in ruins, she could still help. But Now, Second Lord Bao doesn't care about things by himself, but the second wife has all the strength in her body but can't use it. The eldest girl has been relegated to concubine concubine. According to the old lady, she will not be promoted to concubine again until February or March at least. There was a gap of several months during this period. But the old lady and the second wife also said that if the second master Bao can endure it and make King Jingjing feel at ease, no matter how difficult the difficulty is, the mansion will be able to Make it through."

Jiang Ling put down his hand slowly, listening to Pearl continue:

"Ms. Shi came to live in the Grand View Garden a few days ago, and was arranged to meet Uncle Rong. I heard from the old lady that she wanted to 'kiss each other' and ask Miss Shi to make a sequel to Uncle Rong. The uncle is young and promising, even if it is a continuation, Miss Shi will not be wronged. Miss Shi almost broke out."

Pearl sighed a little, and said with emotion: "You said there are so many things going on in the mansion. First Grandma Bao, then our wife, and Miss Shi Da, one after another, there is really no one." It's gone. If Miss Shi really married Uncle Rong of Ningguo Mansion, then there will be another kiss in our mansion. But Uncle Rong and Uncle Zhen seem to be reluctant."

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then asked again: "Both parties are unwilling?"

Holding the tea leaves that had just been unpacked, Zhenzhu sighed unconsciously: "It's because I'm in front of you that I dare to say more. You don't know, Miss Shi is a maidservant in their house." Every day, I have to work with my aunt's maids. When I first came to the Grand View Garden, I secretly cried with us several times. Now that I come to the Grand View Garden again, I was thinking of taking a break. I didn't expect the old lady to kiss us. The second master Lian said that among the four families of Xue Wang and Jia Shi, only one historian is good. If you grasp it, it may not be a chance to turn around. The old lady made up her mind and wanted Miss Shi to marry. After all Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are still in the same spirit. But Miss Shi no longer wants to be associated with the four major families, and bluntly wants to go outside to find a husband-in-law."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling thought to himself, at the end of Dream of Red Mansions, Shi Xiangyun should still be married to someone outside the four major families.

Pearl let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "How else should we put it, our old lady is the aunt of the Shi family, and she is very clear in her heart. Although Second Master Lian's thoughts are good, there is one more thing, whether to hide it or not." Said: Miss Shi is very kind and kind, but now Miss Shi's uncle and aunt are in charge of the Shi family, and Miss Shi is not favored. If she really wants to enter Jia's house, it is not sure who is counting on whom It is also because of this that Uncle Zhen and Uncle Rong in the mansion next door pushed back and tried to delay it for a while."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly.Here, there are quite a few people who know how to do it.

Pearl said here, and sighed again: "I don't know how long we can stay in the house. Alright, I'm going to serve tea to the old lady." After saying that, she wanted to leave with the hot teapot in hand.

Jiang Ling closed her fingers slightly, just about to give the pearl away, when she suddenly remembered another thing:

"Sister Pearl, you have served the old lady for a long time, do you know whether the previous generation in the mansion, or the previous generation, offended the royal family?"

Kangxi's expression just now seemed to dislike their Rongguo Mansion.

"Royal?" Pearl smiled, "How can that be? The earliest generation in the mansion, they are meritorious ministers, and they have never offended any royal family. But I heard the old lady say that the current emperor can't rub the sand in his eyes. It's completely different from the first emperor. Those things in the former mansion, the first emperor smiled and passed, but the current emperor has reprimanded him several times one after another. The emperor seldom mentioned it these years. It should be a matter in the court Too many, our small Rongguo Mansion won't be able to enter the Emperor's eyes."

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What did the old lady say at that time?"

Pearl still didn't realize it, and continued to say: "At that time, the old lady said that the emperor has not been an ordinary person since he came to the throne. After he took charge of the affairs, he dealt with them quickly and ruthlessly. He was sent to prison. The mansion was almost sent to prison. But later, the emperor sent troops to the southwest, southeast, and northeast, and had no time to take care of the affairs in the capital, so he never scolded him again."

Jiang Ling thought to himself, it wasn't because he didn't scold him, but because he couldn't make a move...

When she got back to the first time she met Kangxi and was asked by Kangxi, she had a faint understanding in her heart: According to Kangxi's consistent thinking, it should be that the four families of King Xue and Jia Shi, who are intertwined, did certain things It was only when he violated his bottom line that he was ready to touch them.But because of the frequent use of troops later, these things were put on hold for the time being.

If she remembered correctly, some time ago, Kangxi had just cleared up the bureaucracy.

Obviously, the last time we cleared up the administration of officials, this time we checked the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, and also cleaned up the class examinations of the Ministry of Officials, just to facilitate future hands-on preparations in advance.Thinking about it further, Kangxi grew up with this routine, whether he was capturing Oboi or doing other things.Thinking of this, I was relieved.

No wonder Kangxi didn't want to say anything just now.It turned out that the time had not come.

Jiang Ling watched Pearl turn and leave, tapped the wall with two fingers, and sent Pearl out of the dream.

Jiang Ling woke up.

It was still the light of the afternoon sun, slanting on the body, and the shadows of the trees all over the place were mottled.

The maids were still tiptoeing, not even daring to speak too loudly.Jiang Ling propped himself up and sat up, and asked in a daze, "What time is it?"

A little court lady replied: "It's a quarter past time to answer the master's words."

Jiang Ling groaned softly, rubbed her temples, and then heard the maid say again: "Also, when the master fell asleep just now, Princess Beijing sent someone to deliver a letter, which is being placed by the nuns. Master, do you want to see it?"

Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Bring it here."

Lin Daiyu's letter was very brief, but it was just a little mention that the day after tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, and there is no way to enter the palace for the entire first month.But during the New Year, when the concubines and wives are going to the palace to see them, they can still have a good chat with Jiang Ling.Lin Daiyu also mentioned in the letter that when she went back to Rongguo Mansion to see the old lady a few days ago, she just heard that a big incident happened in the mansion. .At the end of the letter, Lin Daiyu asked: Do you know the reason for this?

Jiang Ling put down the letter and thought about it seriously.

Of course, she knew the reason of the matter.Last time in the dream, she tentatively asked a maid in Rongguo Mansion, and she knew everything.But because this matter has obviously been suppressed by the Queen Mother, and people inside and outside the palace are unwilling to mention it, then she should not tell Lin Daiyu.

So in the reply, Jiang Ling wrote vaguely: I don't know the reason, but I heard that the noble concubine went back to visit her relatives... At this point, Jiang Ling tore up the letter paper and threw it into the brazier, Spread out a piece of blank letter paper again, and write on it squarely: I don't know the reason, and there is no news in the palace.

After writing, Jiang Ling asked someone to seal the letter paper and send it out of the palace to Lin Daiyu.

After writing the letter, another two hours passed before I knew it, and it was time for dinner.Today is still the medicinal diet for anti-abortion, and two imperial physicians came to check the pulse.But when he was checking the pulse, Jiang Ling found that one of the imperial physicians was not the one he usually consulted, but a rather handsome face.

For a moment, Jiang Ling's heart rang out, and he asked, "Are you new here?"

The young imperial physician replied: "Master Yun, I just came here yesterday to practice medical skills under the seat of Imperial Physician Wu. But because Imperial Physician Wu fell ill yesterday, I asked this minister to replace the imperial physician and replace Master Yun." Routine pulse diagnosis." His words and eyes were a bit frivolous.

Jiang Ling paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand: "I'm used to the old man. I'd better let another imperial physician diagnose my pulse."

The young imperial physician said: "But master, he is ill..."

Jiang Ling said slowly: "Earlier, the emperor prepared three imperial physicians for me, and it was for this reason that I had regular consultations every day. Since Dr. Wu Tai is ill, let the colleagues of Imperial Physician Wu see me for me." " After speaking, he turned to another imperial physician beside him, "Excuse me."

Another imperial doctor said yes, and walked up with a medicine box.

The new imperial doctor's face became a little unsightly.

Seeing the change in his expression, Jiang Ling felt a little doubt in his heart, which gradually expanded to three points.She thought to herself, I don't trust the imperial physician carefully selected by Kangxi, should I trust you, a stranger? ...but he asked in his mouth, "What's your last name?"

The new imperial physician subconsciously replied, "My surname is Wang."

Surnamed Wang? !

Jiang Ling's expression was a little stiff for a while, but the new imperial physician still didn't notice it, and continued: "My ancestors practiced medicine in Jinling for a long time, so it can be regarded as a profound family knowledge, and they have made some achievements in gynecology. Master Yun, or Let me take the place of the master for the time being."

But the more he insisted, the more untrustworthy Jiang Ling felt that this person was, so he shook his head and asked another imperial physician to consult the whole process.

The new young imperial doctor's expression became even uglier.But because this was the Forbidden City, and Jiang Ling was pregnant with Liujia, she didn't dare to mess around here again, so she stood aside in embarrassment.

After Jiang Ling waited for another imperial doctor to check the pulse, he said unhurriedly: "This is the Changchun Palace, so naturally you have to listen to me. The emperor asked your master to come to see me, and I will trust you alone." Your master is alone. Since your master is ill, then wait for your master to recover before you come to consult me."

As soon as the words fell, seeing the young imperial physician, his expression changed several times.

After the imperial doctors left, Jiang Ling felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, so at midnight that night, he brought a housekeeper's daughter-in-law from the Rongguo Mansion to sleep. After careful questioning, he found out that Mrs. Wang's natal brother had just been brought back from Jinling A distant nephew who is said to be a medical student.And just at night, for some reason, Madam Wang dropped a few more vases.

Recalling what he heard in the dream last time, "Let her be ruined and not allowed in the Tian family", Jiang Ling woke up from the dream in an instant.

Kangxi was lying beside her, his breathing was low and gentle, he was obviously asleep, and his arms were lightly wrapped around her waist.She closed her eyes, and gently raised her hand to cover her waist, overlapping his hand, with complicated and inexplicable emotions in her eyes.

Almost, just a little bit, she was about to fall into someone else's trap.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep, but couldn't.It wasn't until early morning that I gradually fell asleep.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Kangxi left early in the morning. The young imperial physician did not come again, but one of the three routine physicians came.Jiang Ling waited for them to ask the doctor, and then asked about his own physical condition. When he knew that there was nothing serious, he was slightly relieved.

The third day is the first day of the Lunar New Year. All concubines, princesses, concubines, and wives all enter the palace for pilgrimage.

Jiang Ling got up early in the morning and was dressed up by the maids.Because she was pregnant with Liujia, she didn't put lead powder on her face, but just smeared a little rouge.But because she lived in the palace for a long time, her complexion became fairer than before, so it was not a serious problem.After dressing up, they sat on the warm sedan chair and went to the front to pay homage to the emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager.

After a pilgrimage, Jiang Ling was a little tired, so she was supported by the nuns to sit for a while.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Ling glanced at the wives who entered the palace, including Jiamu and Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Wang was nowhere to be seen.When the Empress Dowager Guo seized Mrs. Wang's imperial order and turned her body into a white body, it must have been a real move.

Lin Daiyu was also among them, but Jiang Ling couldn't greet her because she was by the side of Princess Beijing.
