The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

It was the end of the year, and the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace was lively and luxurious. It was Lin Qingyun's first time to attend, but he didn't have time to be nervous. Because Tu Yan was not feeling well, the two of them just sat down and left the banquet.Fortunately, the emperor and empress knew about Tu Yan's body, so they didn't blame him, but ordered the imperial physician to go to Prince Chun's residence.

Lin Qingyun looked at Tu Yan's face, because he was thin and extremely pale, and he had always been emotionally sluggish, he really looked a little sick.It's just that she was suspicious. It stands to reason that she just took the lotus seed powder for a short time. Even if it can't eliminate all diseases, it shouldn't be so easy to get sick. In addition, tonight, he has been uncomfortable for the fifth time.It is said that the situation is much better than in previous years, so everyone is just happy and has no doubts.Lin Qingyun was uncertain for a moment, but he knew very well that there was a high possibility that he was pretending to be sick.

All the way back to Zhuyunju, Tu Yan sent Hong Ling and the others out, and then he held her hand and smiled slightly: "Wei Qing has been frowning, why is there any confusion?"

"You..." Lin Qingjun opened his mouth, wondering if he should ask.

But Tu Yan didn't hold back, and seemed to sigh: "I just want to be quiet for two years, and there are some things that I have to think about carefully."

This is tantamount to admitting.

Lin Qingyun was not unhappy at all, but became worried because of his words.Lin Qingyun knew what he was thinking about and what he was hesitating about. She was afraid of them and subconsciously avoided them.

"You don't have to worry about these things. You don't have to pay attention to them in three to five years." Tu Yan knew more things than she did, so he knew very well that as long as he was "ill", unless a new emperor came to the throne, he could always be quiet.He is used to living a quiet and comfortable life. He is tired of living like a bird in a palace cage. Since he was a child, he longed to leave there one day. If there were really only two roads in front of him, life and death, he would certainly not choose death. It's just that there may not be a third way.

He needs to find a third way.

The two were silent, and suddenly heard Hong Ling reporting outside: "My lord, Mr. Sun has something urgent."

"Come in." Tu Yan patted Lin Qingyun's hand, implying that she didn't need to avoid it.

Sun He came in, saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, just now there was news from the palace that King Jingjun had made great contributions in offering medicine, and the Supreme Emperor Longxin was very happy. He specially made King Jingjun a Prince and Noble, and said that Concubine Zhen was serving the sick. For meritorious deeds, Jin conferred the title of Concubine Zhengui. The emperor said it was a great joy, and gave Jingjun Wang the double title. Now King Jingjun is the Prince of Jingxiao. The emperor also rewarded the harem. The virtuous concubine is no more than a concubine, and Concubine Zhen Shun was given to live in the Zhuxia Palace, the main hall, as the head of the first palace, and enjoy the status of concubine."

Tu Yan waved his hand to make him retreat.

Lin Qingyun frowned. Ever since she got married, the Taishanghuang's health was always bad, but there was nothing serious about it. It's just that she was getting old and had been working on state affairs for decades, so she was unavoidable. That's why she had never seen the Taishanghuang.Previously, many people speculated that the Taishanghuang would not be able to survive the end of the year. Unexpectedly, the Taishanghuang not only made it through, but also recovered!

Prince Jingxiao had to think more about this matter.

Prince Jingxiao is the only heir left by the abolished prince, and the abolished prince is the most beloved son of the Supreme Emperor. The abolished prince has passed away, and the Supreme Emperor is old, so it is very likely that he will empathize with the emperor's grandson.Furthermore, the royal family does not have pure family affection, and family affection and interests are always mixed together. The Supreme Emperor had to abdicate due to illness, but he was unwilling to let go of his power, which made the emperor feel tied in managing the government. ...

It's really not easy for an emperor. There is an overlord on his head, and a group of sons below are taking profits, and they have to worry about the world's affairs.

At the New Year's Eve banquet tonight, Lin Qingyun found that the emperor had added a few gray hairs to his temples, and he was not as energetic as when he saw him earlier.The emperor and the empress were originally married, but they were only three or four years older than the empress. Now they are standing together, but they seem to be ten years apart.

Furthermore, apart from Prince Jingxiao, the two concubines from the Zhen family benefited tonight.

Tu Yan suddenly said: "The Zhen family is the most cunning, and they never put their eggs in one basket. There is a concubine Zhen Gui by the emperor's side, and a concubine Zhen Shun by the emperor's side. The idea of ​​another daughter in the family."

Seeing that his voice was not the same as before, Lin Qingjun seemed to have something inside, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that they also have your idea?"

Tu Yan glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Weiqing asked the question knowingly. Although I was ill and didn't live long, I was the only son of the emperor. If the daughter of the Zhen family became a pure princess, the value of the Zhen family would be even greater. Who wouldn't win over? The girl from Zhen's family lived in the palace for a while in the name of visiting her aunt, but she always wandered to Nansan, and Sima Zhao's heart, no one knows."

Tu Yan's temperament looked gentle and elegant, but in his bones it was not like that at all.Growing up in the palace, because of his status, he was full of flattery and hypocrisy. Although he didn't have the second-rate mentality of a romantic drama hero, he was deeply bored with this kind of people in the palace, especially those who were deliberate. Calculating himself and disregarding his true heart is tantamount to touching his reverse scale.

"Then what happened to her?" Actually, Lin Qingyun was thinking wildly, guessing whether the girl from the Zhen family was Zhen Shun's concubine today.

But Tu Yan said: "The queen mother liked her very much and gave her a marriage. Unfortunately, she was poorly blessed and died of illness within a few years."

Lin Qingyun calculated in her heart that the daughter of the Zhen family had five daughters, and the Concubine Zhen Gui was from the generation of her aunts, so the concubine Zhen Shun, the former princess of Chengjun, and the one who died of illness, the Zhen family had two more daughters. The girl is waiting in the boudoir, I am afraid she is also up for sale.Looking at Tu Yan's age, the daughter of the Zhen family married by the king of Chengjun was the eldest daughter, the concubine Zhen Shun in the palace was the second daughter, the one who died of illness was the fourth daughter, and the family had the third and fifth daughters.As for the wrong seniority, she knew that the royal family is the place where seniority is the least important, and when one enters the royal family, one starts from the royal family.

Tu Yan suddenly said with emotion: "After the new year, Weiqing will be 14 years old."

Lin Qingyun was puzzled for a moment.

Tu Yan smiled and didn't say much.

Just after New Year's Eve, and before the New Year's wine was finished, Jia She suddenly broke into Jia Zheng's study on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and snorted coldly with an angry face: "Second Master, come with me to see the old lady!"

"Brother, this is..." Now that it's Chinese New Year, Jia Zheng sent the Qing guests home to gather with relatives and friends. At this moment, he was alone in the study, reading a book.

"Your second wife did a good job!" Jia She's face became even more angry, but he refused to say any more, and actually dragged Jia Zheng out.

"Brother, what a shame you are!" Jia Zheng blushed, grabbed his sleeves, straightened his clothes, and his face was also annoyed: "I don't know what Mrs. Wang did, since eldest brother wants to find the old lady Judge, the younger brother will accompany you."

Jia Amnesty sneered, so he didn't bother to argue with Jia Zheng, so he kept his expression on and went to Jia Mu's room.A servant girl had reported the whereabouts of the two brothers to Mother Jia. Li Wan led Sanchun Baochai and the sisters to avoid them. There was only the second wife of Xing Wang in the room. The son has something to tell the old lady, and ask the old lady to send all the maids back, so as not to spread the news and lose face for the whole family, and even embarrass the empress in the palace."

"Boss, what are you doing in New Year's Eve! You even got involved with your mother." Jia Mu was joking with her granddaughters, and it was a big festival. Jia Amnesty's behavior really displeased Jia Mu.

"It's not me who caused the second wife to do those good things. If I don't find out, maybe our house will be emptied in a year or two!" Jia She said, throwing out a stack of booklets, as if She looked at Mrs. Wang with a non-smiling smile: "Do you want to see the second wife? I didn't know before, but the second wife is really good at managing family affairs!"

When Jia's mother saw this situation, she knew that Jia Amnesty had already prepared for it. She was afraid that things would be difficult, so she hurriedly waved Yuanyang and others to go out, and then ordered Jia Amnesty: "Boss! What are you doing!"

"Old lady, I know that you have always favored the second room. I've gotten used to it over the years, so I can't live up to it. It's just that the expenses in the mansion have been getting tighter and tighter these years. When Lian's daughter-in-law was still in the mansion, it was said that The housekeeper has to fill in the dowry himself, what is it to spread the word? I was puzzled, our family will not be so poor no matter what? It is a coincidence that when I was wandering out a year ago, I met a rich man from Jinling who came to Beijing Looking for a way out, I accidentally learned from him that our Jia family has sold two farms in Jinling!"

Mrs. Wang's complexion turned pale, and the handkerchiefs in her hands were tightly churned together.

Jia Mu's eyes changed, but Jia Zheng was shocked and disbelieving: "Brother, although the Wang family is not all good, but all these years of serving mother, raising children, and taking care of housework, there is hard work without credit..."

Jia She interrupted Jia Zheng's words with a wave of his hand: "Second brother, I didn't believe it at first, but I still had doubts in my heart. First, when your sister-in-law was alive, you were the housekeeper, and there was never any such thing as extra food in the mansion, nor did the servants receive monthly money. It's too late, everything is in order, even my mother often praises it."

Speaking of the late Mrs. Zhang, Jia's mother really liked it. The first eldest daughter-in-law was born with a scholarly reputation. She was smart and sharp, and she was also a good housekeeper. The only regret is that he is not in good health, so he left early.Even Jia Zheng respected that sister-in-law, so he didn't refute what Jia She said.

Only Mrs. Xing's heart was sour, but she also knew that she was a step-wife, no matter what her family background was, she couldn't compare to her first wife.She is the second wife, she bows her head when she enters the door, and she has to offer incense and salute to her first wife on every memorial day.

Jia She said again: "Jinling is the foundation of our Jia family, and it is prepared for future generations. It must not be moved, but the second wife is very courageous. This matter was taken care of by Zhou Rui, his companion. The witnesses and material evidence are all complete, that's all, look at this, second brother."

Jia Zheng was already blushing with shame, if he hadn't been in front of Jia's mother, he would have wished to scold Wang.Seeing the things Jia Amnesty handed over to her, she couldn't bear it anymore after reading it, and threw the things in Wang's face with a wave of her hand: "Ignorant and bold fool! How dare you, how dare you do such a thing?" Breaking the law is harmful to morality, why did I marry such a vicious woman like you!"

Mrs. Wang knelt down, the color was gone on her face, she could only cry instinctively: "I don't understand what the old man said, I didn't do anything."

Jia Mu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that something was wrong, she immediately ordered it to be brought.Mrs. Xing was eager for the second house to suffer, so she quickly picked it up and handed it to Jia Mu. When Jia Mu looked at it, she felt dark in front of her eyes: "Mr. Wang, how dare you make money outside!"

These dozens of IOUs have new and old dates, and there are reasons for them.Mrs. Wang did this kind of thing when she was young, but when Jia Zhu died of illness, she gave up and turned to fasting and praying to Buddha.After Wang Xifeng married in, she encouraged Wang Xifeng to take over the matter, and she got money for nothing, but when Wang Xifeng was tempted, Jia Lian unexpectedly got an official release.Not only did Wang Xifeng lose her arm when she was not in the mansion, but she also had to fill in the money as a housekeeper, plus her daughter needed money to manage in the palace, so Mrs. Wang had another idea.

Jia Zheng was full of anger and fear at the moment, if these things got out, not to mention the empresses in the palace, they would be his officials...

Jia Zheng hurriedly looked through the books on the floor, taking up lawsuits, killing people, corrupting officials' property and falsely reporting accounts, etc. Jia Zheng's heart was chilled, and when he compared the regulations, he became more flustered.

Mrs. Wang did not expect that Jia She, who has always been unruly, would investigate her quietly, but after panicking, she calmed down again.Her daughter is a noble concubine in the palace. She is the mother of the empress. Unless the Jia family wants to completely lose face, they must not touch her.Besides, except for the lending, everything else happened a long time ago. She can push the recent lending on Zhou Rui's family. Quite a lot, she didn't know it!

Mrs. Wang was about to cry, but she heard Jia's mother ask Jia Amnesty: "Boss, what do you want?"

"Old lady, I don't have anything else to say. I will return everything Wang has stolen from the government. In the future, this family will not have to be in charge. Although my daughter-in-law is not as good as Wang, she was also a housekeeper when she was not married. It’s because the huge Duke’s Mansion is not well-prepared, isn’t there an old lady who can ask for advice.”

Mrs. Xing was so excited that she was overjoyed.

"Old lady..." Mrs. Wang panicked. She has always been the housekeeper's wife recognized by outsiders. If she suddenly left the house, how would outsiders talk about jokes, and how could she have the face to go out to socialize.

"Shut up!" Mother Jia really hated her, and also felt that since Yuanchun became a concubine, Wang's arrogance has become more and more arrogant, and she actually meant not to take her seriously, so she really should suppress it.So Jia's mother said: "The boss is right. After the mother visits her relatives, the housekeeper will be handed over to the boss's daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Wang will stay in the Buddhist hall to cultivate her self-cultivation! Second child, what do you think?"

How Jia Zheng couldn't tell that Wang was going to be imprisoned, but he said: "The old lady is kind, so it is a blessing from heaven. If it is not for the face of the empress and the face of the entire family, I will definitely be such a poisonous woman." I want to divorce her!"

Wang suddenly raised her head to look at Jia Zheng, then slumped down again after a while, hating Jia Amnesty and Da Fang in her heart.

"Old lady, my son hasn't finished yet." Jia She glanced at them, and met Jiamu's warning gaze, but ignored her: "Old lady, I want to separate!"

Jia Amnesty's words startled everyone.

Jia Mu was so angry that she could hardly speak: "Boss, are you trying to piss me off?"

"Brother, how can the family be separated when my mother is in the church?" Jia Zheng was really shocked, but also panicked. After all, he is now the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, and the actual person in power. Yuanwailang, what a difference!

Only then did Wang suddenly realize that the old master had used her as a raft in order to separate the family.no!Absolutely no separation!Mrs. Wang didn't care about the accusation just now, she raised her voice and shouted: "Old lady, this family cannot be divided, what if the mother in the palace is divided?"

After all, Jia Yuanchun entered the palace in the name of the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. If the family was separated, she was only the legitimate daughter of a member of the Ministry of Industry, how could such a title be ranked in the palace?What's more, if you study the changes carefully, you may not know how to make people laugh.Yuan Chun is the most honorable and proudest daughter of the Wang family in her life, and she is also the entire pillar of the Jia family, so not only the Wang family, but also Jia's mother and Jia Zheng can't let Yuan Chun lose the slightest bit.

"Boss, get the hell out of here!" Mother Jia made up her mind to suppress Jia She's thoughts, but Jia She has been preparing for today for a long time, so she is not willing to let it go.

Jia She's tone was calm, but very firm: "Old lady, I must divide this family. Now the Wang family is almost emptying out the house and committing so many illegal things. My son is timid, so it's nothing serious." Ambitious, but I don't dare to violate the strict laws of the country. Besides, I am old and can't enjoy it for a few years, but Lian'er and his wife are still young and will have grandchildren in the future. Do you have something to eat? I am also the old lady's son, even if I am not as good as the second brother to win the old lady's heart, please ask the old lady to love her son!" Then the voice changed, and it became very cruel: "If the old lady doesn't agree , I have only one way to go, in order to save some family property for my grandson, I will go all out, and there will be a scene at worst, but I can't control how the empress will save her relatives."

The last sentence is undoubtedly the most ruthless.

Jia's mother was trembling with anger, but she also knew that Jia Amnesty was determined to make such a fuss, and just in time for the empress to visit her relatives, it was almost certain that she had to agree.Mother Jia had no choice but to soften her attitude and tried to delay: "Boss, if the family is separated, how will your mother visit relatives? How will the outside world discuss it? What face does our Rongguo Mansion have?"

"Don't worry, old lady. As I said before, there will be housekeeper Xing in the future. Our two rooms will divide the house first. The second brother and the others are not in a hurry to move out. The east courtyard can be used by the second room, and the two rooms live separately. Everyone." Although Jia Amnesty is not stingy, but Jia Lian is an official, and his grandson will have to take the imperial examination in the future, he needs a good reputation. It is really not good to separate the family while Jia Mu is still alive. The second room is driven out!

Jia Mu also understood what he meant, and sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that he had made up her mind: "It's up to you."

"Old lady!" Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were shocked and disappointed, but they all backed away with a wave of Jia Mu's hand, and refused to speak any more with tired faces.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Amnesty called Jia Zhen, and with the witness of several clan elders, he opened the ancestral hall to deal with the separation of the family.Even if Jia Zhen got the news earlier, it is still like a dream at this moment. Who would have thought that the mother-in-law is about to visit her relatives, but there will be a separation in the family.Everything in the division of the family followed the rules, and Jia's mother was still there, so her private house was naturally not divided, and Jia Amnesty had no hope.When all the dust settled, Jia Amnesty finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wrote a letter to inform Jia Lian and his wife who were far away in Shunning Mansion.

Who knew that the letter hadn't been delivered yet, but he saw Jia Lian's servant, Zhao'er, coming back in a hurry. When he saw Jia Amnesty, he kowtowed to say hello, and said, "My slave congratulates the great master. The second master ordered the slave to send a letter to announce the good news. We two Grandma is happy, it has been three or four months, and the fetus is stable, and the second master wrote a letter to inform the elder."

"Okay! Well, well! It's really a double blessing!" Jia Amnesty laughed happily, and as he opened the letter, he thought, sure enough, the family is divided well, and the daughter-in-law is happy right after the separation. Maybe this child will be a big fat grandson.Calculating the time, the childbirth is due in July and August next year, and Jia Lian will not be able to make it back according to Jia Lian's tenure.

No matter what, Jia Amnesty was still uncontrollably excited, and immediately packed several things from his private treasury carefully, ordered Zhao'er to take them back, and told his grandson to keep them for Lian's daughter-in-law, and Jia Lian was not allowed to touch them. .After thinking about it, he still called Mrs. Xing to tell the old lady the good news.

The Xing family had no children in her life. When she married, Yingchun and Jia Lian were all grown up, and she had never been raised by her, so she didn't want to be close to her. But she likes bright and bright children. It was a surprise to hear that Sister Feng's son was pregnant, and she just asked her to give it to her. When the old lady announced the good news, she hesitated and timidly.Since the separation two days ago, the atmosphere in the mansion has been very strange, because the mother is about to visit relatives, the residence in the mansion has not been changed, and the girls do not know about the separation, but the atmosphere in the mansion is not right, everyone is cautious I'm afraid of offending my master.Mother Jia was not in the mood to have fun with her granddaughter, and she didn't even mention her mother who often read Taoism. Every day when I invited Mrs. An Xing, I felt that Mother Jia's eyes were eating people, and I didn't dare to go to the room at all.

"This is a happy event! Besides, the old lady has never given you a good face, why are you afraid now? You are now the housekeeper's wife of the Duke's Mansion!" Jia She gave her a good meal.

Then Xing went to Jiamu's place by car.

It is the fifteenth day of the first month of the new year, and this year is very different from previous years. The palace issued a decree the year before last, allowing the concubines in the palace to go home to visit their relatives. For a while, every family with a daughter as a concubine must buy bricks, tiles and wood to build a family home. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the official date for visiting relatives.The Jia family has been preparing for this for a year, and until tonight, they can see cigarette smoke, colorful flowers and shadows, corresponding lights, and loud music. There are endless scenes of peace, prosperity and romance.

Jia Yuanchun met in the sedan chair, although he felt that it was too extravagant, he also felt that it was honorable and dignified, after all, if the preparations at home were too simple, he would lose face in the palace.It's just that thinking about the expenditure in the palace, I'm afraid that it won't be rich for a while, but she can't help herself in the palace, and she can't save expenses everywhere.

Along the way, Yuan Chun couldn't help but praise the ingenious construction of the garden. When he met Mrs. Jia Mu Wang and others, his thoughts turned into tears, and he was almost choked up and unable to speak.

After some consolation from the crowd, they sat down with each other, during which time they talked about the family, tasted the banquet, listened to the banquet, and wrote poems. In a blink of an eye, it was time to return to the palace. No matter how reluctant they were, they still bid farewell to their family members with tears in their eyes.

Back at Fengzao Palace, Baoqin helped her change clothes and freshen up. Today, Baoqin also saw her family members, and her mood was inevitably agitated. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Yuan Chun's mind was not frowned: "Your Majesty?"

Jia Yuanchun asked her: "You met your parents today, what did they say?"

"What is your empress referring to?" Baoqin was puzzled.

Jia Yuanchun shook his head, but he became more and more puzzled.Today the mansion was indeed decorated in a very festive and luxurious way, but when I went back to the palace, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. Jia Mu was nothing but Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and even Li Wan and all the sisters. Like hiding something.

Fortunately, the female relatives can visit the palace during the February [-]th period, so I must ask my mother well at that time.
