[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

"Hey," Jia Min tapped the tip of Jia Zi's nose, and said with a smile: "I heard that yesterday's Lantern Festival, some people had a good time, and went to the Lantern Festival together to buy lanterns, which attracted countless envious eyes. Why, no Guess a few lantern riddles and win some prizes?" As one of Jiazi's closest friends, Jia Min naturally knows that guessing lantern riddles is something that Jiazi can only watch. Every time there is a place where there are lantern riddles to guess, Jiazi always squeezes in excitedly and then squeezes out angrily. He has never guessed at all.

Seeing Jia Min who deliberately ran to the house early in the morning to block him, especially when Jia Min stepped on his sore feet, Jia Zi curled his lips and made a disgusted look: "Why, I went to Rongguo Mansion last night. What is the family-visiting villa called Tianxianbaojing? It’s not enough for you to see the gold-absorbing stone of Jia’s family. You can also chat with Wei Cheng sweetly about how lively and exciting the Lantern Festival will be. Could it be..." Jia Zi winked at Jia Min with a teasing expression of "I know you must have done something bad last night".

Hearing Jia Zi mention Jia Yuanchun's family visit the night before, the smile on Jia Min's face froze, and he couldn't even hear Jia Zi's teasing.

Sighing lightly, Jia Min sat back on his seat and said weakly, "Oh, don't mention it. Whenever I mention this, I get a headache."

Although the night before, Jia Min was very late because of Jia Yuanchun's family visit.However, to Jia Min, this tossing is nothing, it will not make her feel tired or have a headache.What troubled Jia Min was the arrogance and arrogance of the people in the Rongguo Mansion and Jia Yuanchun's vaguely unscrupulous attitude.

After the family-visiting villa in Rongguo Mansion was completed, Jia Zheng asked the emperor to allow Jia Yuanchun to go home to visit his relatives.The emperor quickly replied, allowing Jia Yuanchun to go home on the [-]th night of the first month of the following year to visit his relatives.However, since it happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when Jia Yuanchun visited his relatives, Jia Yuanchun could only start to visit his relatives after all the affairs in the palace were over.

Although the time for Jia Yuanchun to visit relatives was in the evening, but Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Jia Min and the two brothers and sisters of the Wei family early in the morning. Pay attention, but Jia Min can't do that.Even though he was unwilling in every possible way, Jia Min still had to go back to Rongguo Mansion, and waited with the group of people in Rongguo Mansion who were so excited that they didn't know where to go.

It's just that Jia Min is no longer the silly girl who was proud of the Rongguo Mansion and was at the mercy of the Rongguo Mansion in the past.No matter how the people around him praised how amazing this family-saving villa was, and preached how much benefit Jia Yuanchun would bring to the Rongguo Mansion if Jia Yuanchun could go further, Jia Min was not infected by their excitement at all. I felt a kind of boredom: Jia Yuanchun was made a concubine, but the Jia family got any benefits except that they went bankrupt and built a garden for her?Isn't Jia Zheng still the same Wailang who never got promoted?Isn't Jia Baoyu still fooling around in the mansion all day long, without even a permit to study in the Imperial College?

In the end, unable to bear the frivolous and arrogant atmosphere around him, Jia Min took advantage of the "east wind" of the elderly Jia's mother's lack of energy, and took his two bored children who were yawning directly, and brought them with him. Jia Yingchun and Sister Jia followed behind Jia's mother Shi Shiran and entered the inner room: the inner room is much warmer than the hall, only a fool would wait outside.

As for Mrs. Wang's look that Jia Min didn't stand in the cold wind all the time, but neglected Jia Yuanchun's eyes, Jia Min automatically ignored it: because of the grievances between her and Jia Yuanchun, she can appear here today. It is already based on the prestige of the Tian family and Jia's mother's face, so can she be expected to eagerly look forward to Jia Yuanchun's return?

Therefore, even though he said he was going to meet Jia Yuanchun, Jia Min was not as tired as Jia Zi thought.It's just that, for Jia Min, the heart is far more exhausted than the body: the whole capital knows how troublesome Rongguo Mansion is.

Although Jia Yuanchun only sat in Jia's house for less than three hours, when she returned to the palace, it was already very late.If Wei Cheng hadn't sent the empress back to the palace and rushed to Rongguo Mansion to pick up their mother and son, she might have to sleep in Rongguo Mansion.This is the last thing Jia Min wants: she doesn't want to listen to the endless bragging and showing off of those ignorant people in Rongguo Mansion.Therefore, it is naturally the best to be able to return to your warm home.

However, when Jia Min returned home to settle down the two sleeping children, and then took care of herself, she suddenly found that she couldn’t fall asleep anymore: she wanted to tell Jia Zi that she had something to say, and let Jia Zi know that she was pregnant. Tormented today.

So, Jia Min got up early this morning and ran to the Lin Mansion to block Jiazi.

However, what Jia Min did not expect was that Jia Zi would stay at home and wait for him.

"What's the matter?" Hearing Jia Min said that he had a headache, Jia Zi finally put away his playful smile and looked at Jia Min with concern: "Why did your head start to hurt? Is it okay? Do you want to see a doctor?" Compared with Jia Zi He is alive and kicking, and he is healthy and rarely even sneeze. Jia Min's body is naturally very delicate in Jia Zi's eyes.Coupled with the serious illness that Jia Min experienced before, with little will to survive, Jia Zi was naturally very worried when he saw Jia Min's powerless appearance.

"I'm fine." Jia Min shook his head lightly: "It's just that there was a bit of cold wind yesterday, and I'll be fine after a while."

Tilting his head to look at Jia Min, after confirming that there was nothing unusual about Jia Min's face, Jia Zi finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked resentful again: "Then Jia Yuanchun has never done anything good." Jia Zi said Bian called up the servants and asked them to make cold ginger tea.Jia Zi naturally knew why Jia Min was blown by the cold wind yesterday: Mother Jia only had Jia Yuanchun, who was the concubine of an old man who was about to die, in Jia's eyes, she hadn't had Jia Min's daughter for a long time, so she ignored Jia Min's delicate body Weak, let Jia Min stand in the cold wind to welcome Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Min sighed helplessly, but did not speak.

Seeing Jia Min's slightly heavy look, Jia Zi blinked, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Did Wei Cheng pick you up last night?" The new emperor and queen, and later sent them back to the palace.After that, Wei Cheng went directly to Rongguo Mansion to pick up Jia Min who was called back by the people in Rongguo Mansion early in the morning.

Jia Zi knew Jia Min well, and knew that she would have something to say to him, so when she was older, she deliberately waited at home, waiting for Jia Min to come over.

When Wei Cheng was mentioned, Jia Min showed a smile on his face and nodded lightly: "Yes. Otherwise, how would I know that you went to the Lantern Festival with Brother-in-law Lin last night?" Having said that, Jia Min also winked at Jia Zi ambiguously.

"Wei Cheng is really a big mouth." Jia Zi muttered softly, and then turned to Jia Min with a begging smile on his face: "Why, it would be a pity not to become the Lantern Festival, right? It shouldn't be... because of this , did you have a fight with Wei Cheng last night? No wonder you are so radiant today! Well, even a headache can’t hide your good looks.” Jiazi’s face was full of ambiguity, which made people want to be cruel Give her a scratch.

Realizing the meaning of Jiazi's words, Jia Min blushed, and rushed towards Jiazi with all his teeth and claws: "Jiazi, you...I must tear your mouth. You..."

"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Jia Zi quickly grabbed Jia Min's hand, and said curiously: "What happened yesterday, please tell me quickly, so that the little one can also feel the grandeur of the princess .” About yesterday’s matter, it’s better for Jia Zi to ask Jia Min than anyone else.Moreover, the queen's eyes suddenly became sharp after receiving the eunuch's report yesterday, which subconsciously made Jiazi a little concerned.

"Don't mention this matter," Jia Min looked around cautiously, then moved closer to Jia Zi's direction, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "I think Jia Yuanchun is crazy. He dared to say anything." Talk outside." Thinking of Jia Yuanchun's seemingly unintentional words, Jia Min couldn't help but shiver: Many times, many things are often said by the speaker unintentionally, but the listener intends——Jia Yuanchun said that kind of words, obviously It's because they feel that the members of the Jia clan don't die fast enough.

Jia Min's cautious and cautious appearance naturally attracted Jia Zi's attention: "What's the matter, what did Jia Yuanchun say?"

"She..." Looking around, Jia Min said in a softer voice: "She actually said that her mother and sister-in-law sent her to a shameful place." Thinking of Jia Yuanchun's words, Jia Min Now I still have goosebumps all over my body: it's not that she's alarmist, but that if such words are spread, will the Jia family still have a way out? When did the imperial palace become a shameful place?Even if it is, such words can only rot in the stomach.Even if it is a sleep talk in a dream, such words cannot be said.What's more, there were so many people present at the time.

"What did you say?" Obviously, Jia Zi was also taken aback by Jia Yuanchun's words: "She actually said that?"

Jia Min nodded lightly: "I was not the only one present. Mother, sister-in-law, Baoyu and other children, as well as several servants, were all present."

"Oh my God," Jia Zi shook his head lightly, "How did she survive in the palace for so many years?"

Jia Min shook his head like Jia Zi: "Who knows! You don't even know. After hearing this sentence, I was really terrified, and my whole body was icy cold. Tell me, if such words spread... ..."

Jia Zi looked at Jia Min, sighed silently, and said in his heart: "It's too late to worry, it has already spread. Moreover, it has reached the ears of the couple who have been living in that shady place. "The little eunuch in the palace's costume, the queen's sudden change of face, and Jia Yuanchun's words, all connected together, have already explained a very clear fact: Jia Yuanchun has the eyeliner of the new emperor and queen by his side.

Jia Min has always been smart, and she has always been good at observing words and demeanor.Therefore, when she saw Jiazi's expression, she felt a thump in her heart: "Why do you have this expression, maybe you already know..."

Gently nodding his head, Jiazi sighed helplessly: "What do you think?"

"How did you know?" Jia Min grasped Jia Zi's arm, and asked anxiously, "Who did you hear that from?" Jia Min didn't think that Jia Zi was so bored that he wanted to plant an eyeliner in the Rongguo Mansion. .Therefore, since Jazi knew that this happened just a few hours ago, there must be others who knew.

If that person was going to do harm to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min couldn't help but shiver: No matter how harsh her words were, she was born in Rongguo Mansion, and it was impossible for her to watch something happen in Rongguo Mansion and remain indifferent.Although Wei Cheng was there, even if something happened to the Rongguo Mansion, she and the children would be fine.But Wei Ruolan and Wei Ruoxun are still young after all, having a family who offends Tianwei will also affect their reputation.

"It's okay. Don't worry." Jia Zi patted Jia Min's arm lightly, and comforted him softly, "Tell me first what happened yesterday?" Jia Zi was very aware of the new emperor's feelings towards Wei Cheng. As long as Wei Cheng is around, no matter how much the Rongguo Mansion tries to kill him, the fire will not reach Jia Min.

Jia Min sighed: "The people from Ningguo Mansion didn't participate in this matter yesterday, it's really right..."

Until Jia Min finished talking about what happened last night, Jia Zi still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time: "What you said is true?" Jia Zi couldn't believe it. It looks like this.From this point of view, it is true that three years old must be eighty - she had looked down on Jia Yuanchun many years ago, but looking at it now, she really has a good eye.

Jia Min nodded and glanced at Jia Zi: "Can I still lie to you?"

"She really didn't even say a word to the Xing family?" Jia Zi never believed that Jia Yuanchun dared to do this: this dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, which is why the Rongguo Mansion treated Jia Min so well, but if Jia's mother Let her go back, although she is unwilling in every possible way, but she still has to go back.At the same time, it is also the reason why Jia She was suppressed by Jia Mu and Jia Zheng for so many years.Although Mrs. Xing is not Jia Yuanchun's mother and has no nurturing grace for Jia Yuanchun, she is Jia Yuanchun's aunt after all. If Jia Yuanchun treats her like this, if someone takes advantage of her, she will be labeled as unfilial of.

"Yeah." Jia Min said softly, "Jia Yuanchun's relatives, although the eldest brother didn't want to, was forced by his mother to go back. He took the whole family's nephews and stood outside the West Street to welcome Jia Yuanchun's return. Sister-in-law I also waited for a whole day... But, Jia Yuanchun didn't even look at the sister-in-law. I'm afraid the sister-in-law will be very angry!"

Jia Zi bit his lip, and said in a deep voice, "Jia Yuanchun is that kind of person. It's like she is warm and kind to you because you are still useful to her." Even if it's because of Wei Cheng now When Jia Yuanchun faces Jia Min, he must have a different face: Who would make Jia Min's wife more expensive than her husband!

When mentioning this matter, Jia Min showed a trace of disdain on his face: "You didn't see that she was superior but had to pretend to be kind, and she also complained that I didn't often go to see her in the palace, hmph, She doesn't even look at who she is, so why should I go to see her? Oh, yes, the most disgusting thing is that she dares to ask why Wei Cheng is not here? Hmph, she forgot how she harmed Wei Cheng back then Is it right? At that time, I was so angry that I almost turned my face..."

Seeing Jia Min getting more and more angry, Jia Zi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Jia Min, then crossed the table and patted Jia Min's back, and said with a smile: "She is just like that, you don't care about her. Why are you angry? Wei Cheng is useful to her now, so she naturally wants to be kinder to you. If you don’t believe me, see if her attitude towards Mrs. Xue is much better than Mrs. Xing’s What’s more, didn’t you say that only Xue Baochai got the same reward as Jia Baoyu.”

"Of course." Jia Min rolled her eyes and took a sip of tea: "Most of the money in her family-saving villa belongs to Xue's family. Can her attitude be bad?" To build a family-visiting villa that will make everyone's eyes shine, so the little money Rongguo Mansion collected is simply not enough.But neither Jia Min, nor Jia Zi, nor Jia She and Ningguo Mansion have offered money to help Rongguo Mansion.In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who took out several 10 taels of silver from Aunt Xue, which ensured the completion of the provincial villa as scheduled.

"That's enough." Jiazi said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it's easy to take other people's hands. She used other people's money, so she should have a better attitude. What's more, you think she uses less money in the palace now. Is it? The Xue family has to give her the money in the end."

Jia Zi heard from Jia Lian that Jia Yuanchun had been in the palace for several years, and the Rongguo Mansion had to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.In the past, this money was naturally provided by the prince of the Rongguo Mansion - in Madam Wang's view, the money from the prince's house was not for nothing, and it was reserved for Jia Sheyi's family.But now, the Rongguo Mansion has been separated, and Jia Zhengyifang has to bear the money entirely by himself.Mrs. Wang naturally wouldn't be so stupid, she could only focus on the Xue family.In order to have more money, of course Jia Yuanchun had to be more pleasant to the Xue family.

"That's a bottomless pit." Jia Min also shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that my mother and second sister-in-law thought they were taking advantage!"

"Even if there's something good about it," Jia Zi raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course the second room is occupied, so of course they think it's a good thing. By the way, what about Jia Baoyu? He's already over ten years old. Young concubine, he should know to avoid it, right?"

Jia Min raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you think Jia Baoyu looks like a boy? She is more proud than many girls." If there are so many nephews in the Jia family, which one is Jia Min most dissatisfied with: No The cold-blooded and selfish Jia Yuanchun was not the mischievous and troublesome Jia Zhen back then, but the Jia Baoyu who was pampered and raised.

Thinking of what Jia Mu kept saying all day long that Jia Baoyu would definitely have a great fortune in the future, Jia Min felt heartbroken: She didn't see how Jia Baoyu seemed to have a great fortune. , she can only see the faults of a playboy, there is nothing boyish about her body.

"That makes sense." Thinking of Jia Baoyu twisting and turning in Jia's mother's arms all day long, Jia Zi also felt very headache: "But, then he can't just slip into Jia Yuanchun's arms." Bar?"

"He doesn't care about that." Jia Min said with a look of disdain: "Mother will say that he is still young, a child. But she doesn't think about it. If he gets into trouble outside, who cares if he is a child?" Where is the child?"

Jia Zi asked suspiciously: "Don't you care about the palace people who came with Jia Yuanchun?" According to common sense, although Jia Baoyu is not too old, Jia Yuanchun is a young concubine after all, even if he is a real sibling, There should also be some taboos: it may be fine to speak normally, but Jia Baoyu actually got into Jia Yuanchun's arms. Isn't the emperor afraid that the hat on his head will change color?

"Don't worry about it," Jia Min glanced at Jia Zi: "But, do you think they can control it? As long as they talk, mother will say that Baoyu and Jia Yuanchun's relationship has been good since they were young, and they haven't seen each other for many years. I miss this sister very much; Baoyu is young and very kind, please forgive me..."

Looking at Jia Min's resentful look, Jia Zi couldn't help laughing: "How old was Jia Baoyu when Jia Yuanchun entered the palace? How could he have any deep feelings? Besides, why didn't I see it?" Then Jia Baoyu is a long-term lover."

Jia Min shook his head and said, "As long as my mother is protecting her, who can do anything? After all, my mother is the wife of the Duke of Chaopin, and even those palace people can only remind me. Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun still has some brains, so I only hugged her." Jia Baoyu let go immediately, or else..."

Jia Min didn't say the following words, but Jia Zi understood the meaning: Jia Baoyu's behavior was serious, but he was disrespectful to the emperor, and what consequences would there be if he was disrespectful to the emperor? It's unimaginable--you haven't seen the new emperor and you are still being angry with the emperor every day, but you don't even dare to resist?

"She has a brain?" The corner of Jia Zi's mouth curled up mockingly: "If she had a brain, she wouldn't say such a thing." As long as he thought of Jia Yuanchun's "shameful place", Jia Zi's heart Just chilling: How did Jia Yuanchun survive in the palace for so many years? Could it be that he doesn't even understand the basic truth that walls have ears?

"You haven't said it yet." Hearing Jiazi mentioning this matter again, Jia Min suddenly remembered Jiazi's strange expression when she mentioned it before, and quickly grabbed Jiazi's arm and said, "How do you know this?" Something? You tell me the truth, don't keep it up. "

Jia Zi pursed his lips and said softly: "Actually, I really don't know anything. However, I never thought that Jia Yuanchun would say such a thing. It's not the first day she entered the palace. How could it be possible not to know that such words are taboo?" After hesitating for a while, Jia Zi did not tell Jia Min the truth: no matter whether the little eunuch is the eyeliner that the new emperor and empress specially placed beside Jia Yuanchun, this kind of It's better that Jia Min doesn't know about this kind of thing - naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Jia Min stared at Jia Zi suspiciously. For some reason, she always had the feeling that Jia Zi was not telling the truth.However, Jia Min also knew that if Jia Zi really hid it from her, then there must be a reason for Jia Zi.

"Let's not talk about this." Jia Min's eyes made Jia Zi feel a little guilty. After all, she and Jia Min are really too familiar with each other.Therefore, at this time, she can only forcefully change the subject: "I'm going to take a look at the Xing family, will you go?"

Jia Min suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and nodded lightly: Even if Jia Zi didn't mention it, she still wanted to see Mrs. Xing.

The author has something to say: I always feel that Jia Yuanchun's "shady place" is too bold, how can she guarantee that those words will not be heard?Therefore, her words here reached the ears of the empress.

small theater:

Jia Zi: Your Majesty, Jia Yuanchun said that your home is a shameful place

Xinhuang: Your family, Lin Hai, also stayed there for several years

Jia Zi: Lin Hai Lin Hai, Jia Yuanchun said that you have been to places where no one can be seen

Lin Hai: Nonsense, I am a gentleman, how could I go to such a place.Why don't you ask her how she knew about that place?

Jazz: Are you misunderstood?
