At this time, in the shed, there was a strange scene: on the right was Princess Yu and Princess Nan'an talking in a low voice, and King Beijing would interject a sentence or two from time to time, his voice was also very low, as if he was taboo On the left are Belle Fujin and the Duke's wife, as well as the girls brought here by the wives, who are taking this opportunity to express their condolences, and they seem a little noisy.

Coupled with the fact that the maids in the shed had already dispersed, this place became even more distinct.

On the side of the shed slightly to the left, Xue Baochai was still leaning on the railing, dazed in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.Jia Yingchun walked up to her and asked something, Xue Baochai forced a smile and followed Jia Yingchun, looking even more depressed than Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was weak, so she leaned on Tanchun, panting slightly.

Xue Baochai stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "But my mother..."

Jia Tanchun pouted over there and gave a helpless look.Xue Baochai followed her gaze and found that his mother was following Mrs. Wang, wiping tears with a resentful expression.Mrs. Wang looked sideways at her from time to time, as if she hated iron but steel.

And the Daotai lady who accompanied Lin Daiyu out to change clothes just now was standing on the other side of Mrs. Wang, her eyebrows were lowered, as if the surrounding greetings and mediation had nothing to do with her, and all the sounds that came to her were blocked. It was clean, leaving nothing but silence.

Xue Baochai felt strange.

More than a year ago, when Xue Baochai was still unselected, she also followed Aunt Xue and contacted the ladies of the official family.But her performance at that time was quite different from that of this Daotai lady.This Daotai lady—she doesn't look like a candidate at all.

With low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, soft-spoken and soft-spoken, he seems to be able to find no faults, but his whole body is indifferent.

It was as if entering the palace to run for election had nothing to do with her, she came here just to be a vase.

When Xue Baochai entered the mansion, it was half a year later than Lin Daiyu's second time entering the mansion, so she had never seen Jiang Ling's maid.

It was the first time Xue Baochai saw this "Miss Daotai" until Mrs. Wang brought Jiang Ling out.

Lin Daiyu squeezed her tiger's mouth, swallowed another piece of ginseng, gasped and said, "Sister Baochai, what are you looking at?"

Xue Baochai looked away, and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that my mother—" She was halfway through speaking, when she suddenly felt that her family's ugliness should not be publicized, so she got up and went forward, walked to Aunt Xue, and called her mother softly.

Aunt Xue was complaining: "...I just pity my girl, she has to manage the family business and discipline my useless son at the same time, if she can receive the favor two years ago and be elected to the palace, she will definitely not It looks like this now." He shook his head again and again.

Xue Baochai frowned slightly, called her birth mother, and helped Aunt Xue to sit aside.Mrs. Wang was looking sideways at first, but when she saw Xue Baochai's actions, she relaxed her expression a little and nodded to her approvingly.

Xue Baochai smiled back.

She has a high EQ, so she naturally knows that some things can only be said in the mansion, and if she goes outside, especially in such occasions where wives and Fujin gather together, she absolutely cannot talk nonsense.Just now, Aunt Xue was a little bit blank.But because it was her own mother, Xue Baochai could only make indirect remarks to prevent her mother from speaking again.

Suddenly, the Daotai lady glanced over here, quite surprised.

Xue Baochai didn't know, but Jiang Ling was thinking about it.She only remembered bits and pieces of the Dream of Red Mansions, but when she saw that Xue Baochai was indeed a rather harmonious woman as described in the book, she was aroused.Counting the twelve beauties mentioned in the Dream of the Red Chamber, she has met several of them, such as Lin Daiyu, such as Yingchun Tanchun Xichun, such as Qin Keqing who died young, these girls stood in front of her alive one by one, let her I had to feel a little bit surprised, but also a little bit happy.

In the final analysis, it was because Jiang Ling regarded himself as a bystander and never blended in.

In her eyes, these women were originally characters in a book, but suddenly one day, they became living beings, who could cry, laugh, talk and make trouble, no different from ordinary people. , and faintly felt a little happy.

After staying in the world of the Red Chamber for a long time, Jiang Ling's post-apocalyptic sequelae gradually faded away, and he began to learn to see the world clearly.

She watched Xue Baochai go away, and suddenly remembered that the concubine Fujin of the Qing Dynasty was elected every three years, while the court ladies were elected once a year. Xue Baochai came from a family of officials and eunuchs. He missed the general election two years ago and never entered the palace again. The opportunity came, and then, it developed into a golden marriage.

Thinking of the golden and jade marriage, and then thinking of the tragic former alliance between wood and stone, I couldn't help but sigh.

If Lin Daiyu no longer fell in love with Jia Baoyu, she probably wouldn't be sad... Jiang Ling suddenly had such a thought in his mind.

As for the tears?Well, weeping can be because we are overjoyed, and we don't have to be overly sad.

Jiang Ling found that after a long time in peace, he really tended to think wildly.

Suddenly, she glanced and saw that the expressions of Princess Yu and Princess Nan'an were a little stiff, so she couldn't help following their gazes.Upon seeing it, one couldn't help but turn pale with shock: Emperor Kangxi stood among the boys outside the shed, with a normal expression, looking at the funeral procession of Jia's mansion from a distance.

How did this ancestor come here?

Jiang Ling felt a little apprehensive, so he moved a little behind the pillar.She remembered clearly that the last time Emperor Kangxi asked her some strange words, the next day Jia's mansion was thrown away, and even she herself was called by the mandarin ducks to give her some advice.This time Emperor Kangxi came to stare at Jia's funeral procession, and why?

But she knew that in the future, the emperor would lightly press down with his finger, and the whole Jia's mansion would "suddenly collapse like a building".

Jiang Ling looked at Kangxi for a moment, then looked away, and noticed the wives Fujin around him.Mrs. Wang and the others had never seen Emperor Kangxi before, so naturally they didn't know the emperor's real face; those Belle Fujins might know the emperor, but they were talking happily at this time, and no one noticed Kangxi's existence.The only four people who recognized Emperor Kangxi were Jiang Ling, the two concubines, and King Beijing who brought Kangxi here.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to continue to play the role of her low-browed and pleasing official lady, and kept silent to avoid trouble.

After a while, the funeral procession of Jia's mansion came in a mighty way.

King Beijing came here today to set up a road sacrifice for Qin Keqing, so when the funeral procession came, King Beijing got up and left to hold the sacrifice outside.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also took the three girls from Jia's mansion, two cousin girls, and a group of idlers including Jiang Ling to leave, and stood at the place designated by the people in Jia's mansion.It was quite sunny here, Jiang Ling raised his hand to cover the sun, and subconsciously looked to the side, Lin Daiyu swayed slightly, obviously struggling.

Jiang Ling took a step sideways, supported Lin Daiyu's body, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin, be careful."

You can't call Miss or Cousin outside, you can only use an unfamiliar Miss Lin instead.

Lin Daiyu smiled at her, secretly took another piece of ginseng into her mouth, and shook her head slightly.Jiang Ling understood, let go of Lin Daiyu, and stood quietly behind the three girls of Jia's residence.She touched the porcelain bottle in her sleeve, and couldn't help but think that it would be great if it was for strengthening the body.

It's a pity that she has gained nothing in the last days for several months, which is embarrassing.

Dojo, rituals, road sacrifices, mourning.

Solemn your eyes, restrain your face, kowtow, and send off your spirit.

Qin Keqing's funeral was grand and extravagant, and it wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising, that he slowly carried the coffin to the distance.But today's business is not over yet. After returning to the mansion, I will cry and chant scriptures for three more days to express my condolences.

Jiang Ling rubbed his numb legs, already exhausted without any strength.

She stood for a whole day, and except for some milk in the morning, she never used water.It was only later that I took some water to drink, so I felt a little anxious.After reporting to Mrs. Wang, Jiang Ling hurried to Bai Ri's inner room to clean it up.

Lin Daiyu and others had followed Jia Yingchun back to the mansion first, and Jiang Ling stayed with Mrs. Wang for some time because of her special status.

After coming out, Jiang Ling realized that the sky was already dark.There was no curfew in the Qing Dynasty, but the city gates and palace gates would be locked.She quickened her pace, hurried past the ashram that had been dismantled into a wooden frame, suddenly froze for a moment, and hurriedly passed the man again.

"Wait a minute."

Emperor Kangxi spoke suddenly, his eyes stayed on Jiang Ling's face, and he paused for a moment: "You seem familiar."

Jiang Ling's heart immediately thumped, and he immediately thought that his identity last time might have been exposed.But even Prince Yu didn't recognize it just now, how did Emperor Kangxi recognize it?She remembered that she kept her head down the whole time last time, and even her voice was deliberately distorted.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling put on an unhappy expression, and said: "You just met me during the day, so of course I look familiar. Let me go, I am in a hurry to go back to see my wife, if it is a little later , Madam is going to blame me again."

Kangxi looked at her carefully for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Are you Bodun's daughter?"

Jiang Ling's face changed in horror.

Bodun is the name of that Daotai lord, and also her nominal adoptive father.

Emperor Kangxi met Bodun's daughter?still……

Several thoughts flashed through Jiang Ling's mind instantly, including that Mr. Bodun had a whim and returned to the capital ahead of time; and that Emperor Kangxi had seen the daughter of Mr. Bodun, and it was just a meeting of old friends; Yes, maybe Emperor Kangxi inquired with the King of Beijing, and the King of Beijing inquired with Mrs. Wang... For a while, my mind was full of chaos, and I didn't know where it came from.

But only a moment passed, and Kangxi even had time to notice that her face had changed.

Jiang Ling regained his composure, his face softened a little, and he put on a guarded look.

Emperor Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "It's probably the case."
