[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Another two or three days passed.

Jiang Ling really behaved this time, staying in the house every day and not going anywhere, even the nuns offered to pick flowers, but they found an excuse to resign.The people outside were fighting fiercely, and Jiang Ling didn't want to get into their trouble at all.Her own troubles have not been resolved yet.

On the fourth day, Jiang Ling couldn't avoid it, and was called out by Concubine Yi again.

This time it was still to visit the noble concubine, but there was an extra empress dowager among the visitors, and it was said that she wanted to set rules for the concubines.

It has been more than half a year since Jiang Ling last saw the Empress Dowager (meeting in a dream does not count).The empress dowager still had that kind-hearted look, but she brought four elderly nuns and four female officials by her side, obviously determined to take care of the people in the palace.Since Jia Yuanchun had just fallen into the water and was still grounded, the establishment of the rules this time seemed a bit thunderous and rainy. In the next room, the concubines and maids looked at each other.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Ling and frowned, but said nothing.

Jiang Ling still stood quietly in the corner to lessen his sense of presence.

After the empress dowager walked out of the palace gate, there were laughter one after another in the room.

"This time the scene can't be stopped." Yibi still had the same leisurely look, flipped her long nails, and said with a smile, "Your lord is grounded, the person involved was sent to Rehe due to tire slippage, what do you say?" , on the way to Rehe, will someone feel sorry for the beauty and take him away?" Although it was a questioning tone, there was still a hint of gloating.

Most of the people in the room covered their mouths and laughed, but no one spoke.

Concubine Yi let out a soft oops, feeling bored, then turned to Jia Yuanchun who was recuperating on the bed, and said with a smile: "As for what happened to your lord, it really went wrong. You say, your lord My son has suffered from such a serious heart disease, and if he is soaked in cold water, how can he still survive? The person who did the work obviously wanted to take your master's life. You say, don't you?"

Her eyes glanced over Jia Yuanchun and Depin, and then rested on her long nails again:

"According to me, your master should investigate thoroughly and find out the culprit, so that your master can be treated fairly. How dare someone dare to do such a thing regardless of your master's body? Death deserves more than guilt."

As soon as the word "deadly and innocent" came out, Jia Yuanchun's expression suddenly changed.

Debi, on the other hand, still sat there motionless with a calm expression.

Originally, she did this with the intention of exposing Jia Yuanchun's feigning illness.Since Jia Yuanchun is not ill, it is naturally untenable to say that "you will die if you are immersed in cold water".Of course, the one-in-[-] possibility, of course Debi would not consider it.

"Okay." Feeling bored, Yi Bin stood up and said, "I should go too. Come on, go back to the palace."

At that moment, the concubines got up separately, called the big palace ladies beside them, and walked outside together.Jiang Ling didn't take anyone with him, so he fell behind.Suddenly someone grabbed her wrist lightly and said in a low voice, "Stay here, I have something to say to you."

It was Jia Yuanchun.

Jiang Ling raised his eyes and looked ahead. He didn't break away before he finished walking.

Jia Yuanchun tightened his movements, and continued: "I know you are complaining in your heart, but I really can't help it now. You saw it just now, those people, them, all of them... can you help me?" Me?" It seemed a little pitiful.

Jiang Ling didn't look back, but chuckled lightly: "Where did your master get his confidence? After the second wife plotted against me repeatedly, you tricked me into pouring that bowl of medicine, and you tried to use me as a stepping stone, then let me help you?"

"I..." Jia Yuanchun seemed a little embarrassed, "I just didn't know at the time."

Jiang Ling was unmoved, and his eyes were cold.

Jia Yuanchun said in a low voice: "You also know that now the whole house is tied to me. If I live in the palace badly, they will live worse in the house. I really have nowhere to go. Do you know, a few days ago I was designed to fall into the water by someone, and I could see clearly in the water, that person was the big palace maid next to Concubine De. Just ten steps away, Concubine Rong and the two nuns watched helplessly, They will die without saving! If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have moved my thoughts on Debi, otherwise how could I have ended up in today's end." The tone was a little lonely.

Jiang Ling endured it, but couldn't hold it back: "Shouldn't the idea be aimed at Debi, should it be aimed at me? I look so weak and deceitful?"

Jia Yuanchun froze for a moment, then said softly, "That's not what I meant."

That's not what it means, so what does it mean?

Jiang Ling waited for the people in front to go far away, then turned around and looked at Jia Yuanchun, and said softly: "Did you and the second wife never think about using me as a stepping stone? Did you two never think about it?" , want to use me to the extreme, and then throw it away? Have you never thought about using my hands to get rid of them, and then using my strength to ascend to the position of imperial concubine, and finally get rid of me?"

Jia Yuanchun was stunned again, shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"

Jiang Ling opened her fingers one by one, and said softly, "But you do this every time."

Jia Yuanchun froze for a moment, wanting to hold her tightly again.But Jiang Ling's strength was much stronger than hers, and he broke free after a while.Jiang Ling took two steps forward, and suddenly heard Jia Yuanchun saying bitterly from behind: "Where did you learn these schemes and methods, from the Rongguo Mansion? But I asked my mother, you used to be just a A country woman, even if she is released, she is still a little orphan, how can she understand this—" No matter whether it is soft talk or coercion, it doesn't work.

Jiang Ling was startled, then suddenly smiled: "Could it be that your master thinks that I used to be a maid in the Rongguo mansion, so your master, second wife, and old lady can easily hold me and let me go east?" I dare not go west?"

--if not?

Jia Yuanchun was stunned again, feeling faintly that things seemed to be beyond her imagination.

Jiang Ling shook his head, said in a low voice, "It's nothing." Then he walked out of the room.

Most of the people had already dispersed outside, only a concubine Rong and a concubine De were sitting outside drinking tea.Concubine Rong was still calm and calm, but this time she brought four palace maids here, as if to prevent what happened last time from happening again.Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui had already left, Concubine De took her own bowl of tea but didn't drink it, she just looked outside repeatedly, as if she was waiting for someone.

Jiang Ling didn't intend to have anything to do with them, so he wanted to leave through the side door.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurried in from the side door, and happened to meet Jiang Ling face to face.

Depin suddenly stood up, put the teacup on the table, and made a bang.

The little eunuch passed by Jiang Ling, walked up to De Concubine, slapped Qian'er, and said: "Master Hui De, the matter is now clear, on the road to Rehe, someone did meet her and she was crying Yes, it seems to be the person the master is looking for."

Concubine Rong stopped twisting the beads, looked at the little eunuch, and waited for his next words.

The little eunuch took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Master De, guess what, that man is an imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, and happened to be one of the two who diagnosed your master with heart disease a few days ago. It's too coincidental, if there is such a coincidence—"

Debi stopped his words and said: "Okay, you go down to receive the reward, it's none of your business."

The little eunuch responded and left.From the beginning to the end, I didn't say half a superfluous word.

Only then did Concubine Rong stand up and asked, "Did you arrange the person?"

Depin shook her head and said, "I didn't arrange it." After a while, she smiled again, and continued: "You also think it's too coincidental, don't you? But the queen mother thought of it, that' The adulterer just happened to appear on the way as the Queen Mother wished. I, a little concubine, how can I have such great ability. This time is good, everything is not good for the imperial concubine. If you It's a noble concubine, how will you deal with yourself?"

Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Concubine De sneered and said: "Let's put away your merciful appearance. When I tricked the imperial concubine to expose it earlier, didn't you also watch it? Concubine Hui's sore spot, the sharp edge in Fengzao Palace, They all collided at this moment. She shouldn't, she shouldn't have set her mind on me, and she should have contracted a heart disease with my hands. You should die now. The Queen Mother is not a fool."

Concubine Rong was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "It seems that I should go."

Debi sneered twice, summoned a big court lady, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then went inside.

Concubine Rong also gave some instructions to the big palace lady behind her, waited for a while, but left without hearing any movement inside.

Jiang Ling stood in the shadow of the corner, motionless.

When the little eunuch passed her by just now, she happened to be leaving.But because the little eunuch was walking too fast, she didn't want to bump into someone head-on, so she dodged around the corner.After avoiding for a while, Concubine Rong came out with someone again, so she could only continue to avoid.When Concubine Rong was far away and was about to leave, she suddenly heard Concubine De's voice from inside:

"Your master came out of Rongguo Duke's mansion, so he should know what it means. I won't say much about it. There are only two things that I want to teach your master to remember: the first one is the One of the imperial physicians who treated your lord's doctor, and that promise was not clear and unclear. Now it is impossible for your lord to separate the relationship and evade his ignorance; the second thing is Concubine Yi has made up her mind to settle the grievances in Fengzao Palace with your master. If your master wants to complain, just blame Concubine Yi. Farewell."

Jiang Ling turned sideways for the third time, avoiding the shadows, and watched Debi lead the maids away.

Jiang Ling didn't want to leave until Debi led the people away and could no longer see their backs.But before he took two steps, he heard another voice from the palace, it was a little weak, it seemed to be holding a zither:

"...Girl, girl, the people in the mansion said that Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Baoqin will be sent to the palace together. Their names should be on the list of beautiful girls in March next year." Don't worry, girl, the road is made by people, and the wife has her own opinion."

As soon as Lin Daiyu's name came out, Jiang Ling's expression changed immediately.

If she really entered the palace with her petty nature, she would be shed with tears every day...

No.

Jiang Ling turned back again, closed his eyes, and gradually floated up, hiding under the eaves.This happens to be a corner, and it is the highest beam at the corner. Few people pass by; even if people pass by, most of them will not look up.

The sky had begun to turn cloudy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

When Jiang Ling found the hiding place, he leaned against the side of the palace and listened carefully to the movement inside.

It was still quiet inside, only the breathing of Jia Yuanchun and a few confidant ladies.Jiang Ling waited for a long time before he heard Jia Yuanchun ask in surprise: "How could it be Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Baoqin? Next year is not a general election every three years. Is it okay for them to enter the palace?"

The three-year general election is to choose concubines for the emperor and his clan.

The annual general election is to select female officials and maids for the palace.

The voice inside paused for a while, before a slightly unfamiliar voice said: "The matter has reached this point, what is wrong with it? Now, keeping the young lady's position as a noble concubine is the most important thing. The second and third girls are naturally impossible, but the cousin girls can still give it a try. Maybe there is something wrong with Baoqin girl, but Daiyu girl and Xiangyun girl have neither father nor mother. , Hanging their names in the Rongguo Mansion for election, it’s not a big deal if you think about it.”

Jia Yuanchun was silent for a long time, then asked again: "What did the old lady say?"

The slightly unfamiliar voice said: "The old lady hasn't spoken yet, but looking at the meaning, I'm afraid she doesn't want to. Miss Daiyu is also her heart, and Miss Xiangyun is her family. The second wife is just mentioning It’s over, there’s no definite number yet.”

So there was no more talking inside.After a long time, Jia Yuanchun asked softly: "Whose idea is this? Although my mother...but she definitely can't think of such a way. It's really..." inappropriate.

The slightly unfamiliar voice inside said again: "Is that right? Isn't that what happens when you enter the palace? The eldest girl is a noble concubine in the palace, and her status is very high. Why don't you give the girls a role?" Isn't it easy? But I heard that this time it was the Xue family who committed a crime in Jinling, and Baochai lost the election again, leaving only one Baoqin, so he simply won another round and sent Baoqin girl into the palace. In addition, the wife of the Xue family cried to the second wife the day before yesterday, and the second wife also wiped away her tears and went to Wang Ziteng, Lord Wang. Lord Wang came up with this idea and said that he could not wait any longer. "

After waiting inside for a while, I heard Jia Yuanchun's voice again: "Uncle?"

The strange voice hummed, and said again: "When the servant passed by the wife's room, I overheard these two sentences. This matter is indeed Mr. Wang's idea. The girl knows that the mansion is now in short supply. If the family commits a crime, the life of the Wang family may be a little difficult. What Mr. Wang means is to send these girls to the palace to help the eldest girl. As long as our family survives the crisis, the second master and Xue The masters of the Wang family and the Wang family can naturally take a breather, and have some leeway in the officialdom."

There was no sound inside.

After a long time, I heard Jia Yuanchun ask: "Then do they know?"

The strange voice said again: "The horoscope has not been written yet, so the girls naturally don't know about it. Oh, Miss Baoqin got the news from somewhere. She is busy discussing marriage these two days, and she probably wants to catch up with her next year." Before the general election. Although they belong to the same family, they don’t have much contact with each other, so they don’t want to get involved in these matters. As for the other two girls, there is no movement.”

Jia Yuanchun was silent for a long time before he said, "Does it have to be like this?"

The strange voice smiled, and said again: "What is the eldest lady talking about? You are a noble concubine in the palace, and you are wearing the glory of the entire family. The wife proposed this method, and it is for the sake of the girl. When things are settled, King Xue and Jia Shi's family are still in-laws, so the prosperity and wealth must be secure for at least a hundred years."
