The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

The eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion, Jia Yuanchun, is the eldest daughter of the Second Fangzheng. Because she was born on the first day of the first lunar month, she was named Yuanchun.Later, the three girls Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun adopted the word "spring".Let the eldest daughter of the Ning Mansion and the eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion be named after the second daughter of the Rong Mansion, although it is because Yuan Chun is older, but it is also because Jia's mother dotes on the eldest granddaughter and places high hopes on her.

Although the third sister You didn't think that her birth date could determine one's fate, obviously Mother Jia didn't think so. She raised Yuan Chun by her side, taught her to be knowledgeable and sensible since she was a child, and then sent her to the palace to be a female historian.The purpose is just to let Yuan Chun struggle in the palace for a few years, so that he can be favored by the nobles and make Rong Mansion rich.

It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, the new emperor enthroned and pardoned the world, and released the three thousand palaces to leave the palace, so those daughters who had been looking forward to it were not selected, and Yuan Chun was put on the list of dismissal from the palace.Poor Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the first son from the Rong Mansion, suffered so many years in that "shameful place", but it was just a waste of time and time.Not only was the good time wasted in vain.It also made Rongguo Mansion the laughing stock of officials and nobles in Chang'an City.

"...It is said that the eldest girl is a noble person with great fortune. Yesterday I went to the mansion over there to greet the old ladies and ladies, and I also met the eldest girl. There is nothing to say about her overall demeanor, no wonder everyone said that she is a palace The nanny in the house can train people. It's just a pity that a daughter from the Duke's mansion is so good, if she is positive and then leaves the cabinet, she should have become a wife by now, not to mention her children. ..." Youshi said while holding a box of snacks to show the second and third sisters to eat the fruit, "You said that even people from a family like us know that once you enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea. The old lady and the second wife are also sensible people, why can't they see through this truth? The poor girl was sent out of the palace, and now she is hiding at home crying like a tearful person."

The second sister is gentle and docile by nature, with a compassionate heart.Hearing these words, he also sighed and sighed for a while, before he said: "Since I was sent out of the palace, I was able to reunite my family, share a family relationship, and be at the knees of my parents. He's only in his early twenties, and with such a wealth background, as long as the old lady and the second wife of the Rong Mansion are willing to pay attention, it won't be difficult to pick a good husband and son-in-law."

Since the second sister divorced, because she was afraid of goingssip outside, she never liked to speak in front of people.Hiding at home every day is either doing needlework or reading and practicing calligraphy, and the young age has become more and more quiet.At the beginning, Mrs. Chen and the third sister were very worried, for fear that the second sister would lose her mind for a while.After the marriage with Liang Fengrao was settled, the second sister gradually turned around again.Although she is not as talkative as the third sister, she is willing to walk around and talk in front of people.

Now hearing You Shi mentioning the current situation of the eldest girl, the second sister You suddenly felt sympathetic and sympathetic.She has soft ears and a soft heart, and she can't listen to such a confidante.Hearing that the old lady of the Rong Mansion, Master Zheng and the Second Wife could heartlessly send the eldest girl into the palace to serve others for the sake of the family's wealth, they were even more shocked and rejoiced, fortunately their family members were not like this.

You Shi also knew what the second sister was thinking, so she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "The old lady and the second wife are trying to find a good husband for the eldest girl all day, so it's not so easy. Now Jia The family is not what it is today. Who doesn't know the honorable officials in the city of Chang'an? Those officials from aristocratic families have the temperament of holding high and stepping on low-heating stoves. Seeing that Jia's family is so down and down, besides, the eldest girl has another servant in the palace The reputation of those aristocratic families who love face the most, how can they let their promising descendants marry the eldest girl. The rest of the family intends to propose marriage, but the old lady and the second wife don't like it. It's exhausting, and the next year, the eldest girl will be 21. She has become an old girl."

When Youshi talked about this, he had to think of himself.After wasting so many years by accident, she could only marry to Ning Mansion as his stepmother.Although the reputation of the head wife of the Ning Mansion sounds good, how can she be a good stepmother in the world?It's just that the outside doesn't know what's inside, and the superficiality of the flowery shelf is nothing more than that.

After hearing these words, Third Sister You's heart skipped a beat.She thought that the Rongguo Mansion had always been friends with the four kings with different surnames.Now it's time for Prince Jing to discuss marriage, if Yuan Chun can be a few years younger, maybe this marriage will really come true.

But they didn't know that after Jia Yuanchun left the palace, Jia's mother really had this intention.He even wanted to test the tone of Princess Beijing Jing on the grounds that "the female junior holds a golden brick".Unexpectedly, the Beijing Palace got a suggestion from a family friend, and knew that the court had the intention to cut down the vassal. Now they are already too busy to take care of themselves. They even declined the daughter of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, which is bigger than the Rongfu family. Rong Mansion's reputation?

In the end, Princess Beijing had no choice but to enter the palace to pay her respects to an old concubine who was deeply favored by the emperor in the palace, and acted as a matchmaker for her son to marry Princess Kang Ning, who was born by the old concubine, and married the deceased Prince Beijing. He handed over his military power tiger talisman to show his loyalty.After the discussion between the emperor and the present, he felt that the king of Beijing was still young and the crown had been kept in Beijing, so there probably would not be any troubles, so that's all.

The King of Beijing Jing is a handsome young man with a beautiful face and noble status. He is rare to be modest and friendly. He is a well-known romantic figure in Chang'an City. Princess Kang Ning is naturally very willing to have such a beloved man as her son-in-law.

After this, the Beijing Palace kept its title of a different surname king, and was very satisfied with being able to turn the crisis into safety when the court made up its mind to cut down the vassal.Moreover, although Princess Kangning is a princess, she has a beautiful appearance and a modest personality, which is the demeanor of her mother.Even after marriage with King Beijing, they also played harmoniously, harmoniously and happily.There is nothing wrong with it.

For now, let's not mention the smooth marriage between King Beijing and Princess Kangning, nor the embarrassing situation when Jia Yuanchun talked about marriage.It is only said that when the new emperor ascends the throne, the concubine position in the harem is empty. The emperor wants to protect the country forever and continue to plan for heirs. He ordered the clan's mansion and all the states in the world to select virtuous and virtuous women to enter the palace. In addition to the selection of concubines, the daughters of famous officials and officials are all named Dabu, so as to prepare for the selection of female officials in the palace, as talents and praises.

With this decree, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty sang meritorious deeds, praised the emperor for his compassion for his son, and praised the sage for his great grace.Let's not talk about the plans of the officials of the various families in Chang'an City for the time being, but the mother and daughter of the Xue family who are temporarily staying in the Rongguo Mansion are overjoyed when they hear about this matter.Aunt Xue even held Xue Baochai's hand and sighed "Heaven has eyes".Given the background and family background of their Xue family, they didn't dare to think about the selection of concubines in the palace.Unexpectedly, the sage bestowed upon him an unearthly grace, and then elected a female official in the palace.The Xue family can do some planning, if they can use it to enter the palace.Maybe after three or five years, he can also fall into the eyes of a saint and fly up the sycamore tree with one leap.

For example, Princess Lian, the mother of Prince Yixiao, was not just a maidservant of the Clothes Bureau.Now that a mother is more expensive than a child, doesn't she also become a high-ranking concubine?

That Xue Baochai is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year.Sheng's muscles and bones are smooth, and his manners are elegant, because he was loved by his father back then, he originally had the ambition to become a success, but in the past because he was the daughter of an imperial merchant, although he had a big heart, he couldn't do it with all his strength.And because the elder brother in the family can't grow up and be sensible, caring for his mother, and supporting the family business, Baochai can only abandon the book and write, and only pay attention to the family plan of needlework, and share the worries for his mother.

Xue Baochai naturally doesn't want to miss out on finding out the riches and honors of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate.However, when the three orphans and widows of the Xue family went to Beijing, they didn't know the sons of the rich and powerful in Beijing, let alone the nobles in the palace.If there is no one to help, it is really difficult to move an inch.

The mother and daughter discussed it, and first sent a family letter to their elder brother, Prince, who was on business in other provinces, and then begged his sister, Mrs. Wang, to intercede, hoping that the Rongguo Mansion could mediate on their behalf.One should spend naturally by oneself.Aunt Xue took Mrs. Wang's hand and said earnestly, "If this can be done, I will be very grateful."

However, Mrs. Wang is concerned about the marriage of her eldest daughter Yuanchun, so she has no mood to arrange these foreign affairs for her sister and niece.What's more, she tried every means to bring Aunt Xue's mother and daughter into Beijing, in order to compete with the old lady and try her best to promote the marriage of "golden jade".She calculated that Aunt Xue was a widow, and Xue Pan was always useless.If Baochai could be brought in for Baoyu, would there be any reason for Xue's family to lose millions in the future?

Because Mrs. Wang had such a plan in mind, she naturally refused to plan this matter for Baochai.It's just that she couldn't shirk because of Aunt Xue's face.He had no choice but to agree face to face, then turned his head and left the matter behind.Not only did she not manage it with all her heart, but she coveted the tens of thousands of taels of money that Aunt Xue gave her.

Mrs. Wang originally thought that she had kept the matter a secret, but she never thought that Mother Jia would have known about it.Although Jia Mu is getting older, she understands very well.She originally wanted to make the two jades into a pair, so that her uncle Lin Ruhai could help Baoyu in his official career in the future.But she never thought that the daughter-in-law's narrow-mindedness, because of a little quarrel with Min'er back then, pushed this good marriage out of the door.He also took a merchant's daughter to his home to fight with her as if he was a baby.

Jia Mu disdain in her heart, but she doesn't show it on her face.It was so easy to wait for this opportunity, even though Mrs. Wang was obstructing it, she worked hard behind the scenes to make Baochai pass the primary election.And through Jia Zhen's relationship, Dai Quan, the head of the Daming Palace, was dredged up, hoping that he can hold his hand high during the re-election.

Jia's mother is also shrewd in her calculations.She was thinking of sending Xue Baochai into the palace. Firstly, it would break Mrs. Wang's plan of a "golden marriage", and secondly... If Xue Baochai could fly on a branch and become a phoenix one day, her benefactor, who contributed to it, would also be able to bear it. The pulse is fragrant and the fire is passionate.Now that Yuan Chun is out of the palace, it's not appropriate that he doesn't have anyone capable in the palace.What's more, the four families of King Xue of Jiashi are closely related, although Baochai's favor in the palace is not as good as Yuanchun's granddaughter's favor to the Rongfu.But Xue's family is lowly, with no connections in the court, and Xue Pan is an unreliable playboy.

With brothers from such family backgrounds as burdens, even if Baochai can get favored by chance, if he wants to gain a foothold in the harem and keep his position, it will be impossible without the full support of Jia and Wang.

Jia's mother calculated the matter before and after, and made up her mind more and more.But she is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name. After ordering Jia Zhen to manage Dai Quan, Jia's mother immediately informed Aunt Xue and her daughter about it.And in the words, he secretly mentioned that Mrs. Wang did not work hard and took advantage of it.

Although Jia's mother was talking to the point, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were not dull people, so they could understand clearly.Although they were not at ease, the mother and daughter of the Xue family still thanked Jia's mother for her kindness, and confessed their love sincerely.Only then did he wait for the re-election for entering the palace with peace of mind.

I thought I could just sit back and relax.Unexpectedly, within a few days, Xue Baochai was sent back because she failed the re-election.

Mother Jia was very surprised, and then asked someone to inquire secretly, only then did she know that although the new emperor has a humble and benevolent disposition, he is wise and wise, and he is really an unworldly emperor.And I don't like the lower officials to deceive their superiors and conceal their inferiors, corrupt and pervert the law.

Although Xue Baochai had a good character and a beautiful appearance, the saint accidentally heard from other people that his brother had killed someone when he was in Jinling.Dare to be so arrogant and domineering at such a young age, disregarding human life, the saint is very displeased at this time.Therefore, he not only personally rejected Xue Baochai's qualification for re-election, but also ordered Jinling Yingtianfu to re-investigate Xue Pan's case.

In the middle of the court, there had been officials and censors Qinggui who could not get used to the arrogance and domineering of the honorable family, and felt sympathetic with each other.Hearing that the sage ordered Jinling Yingtian Mansion to re-investigate the case of Xue Pan, he immediately drafted a memorial to impeach Xue's family for relying on wealth and power, killing people, and impeaching Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling Yingtian Mansion, and Teng Guan, the prince of the nine provinces, for protecting the government and flouting the law. Talking about gods and ghosts, solving cases is a joke...

The saint originally thought that this matter was just a private matter of the Xue family, but he did not expect that so many court officials and eunuchs would be involved in such embarrassing acts of favoritism.After hearing that Jia Yucun, a dignified fourth-rank official of the imperial court, arbitrarily judged the case with the theory of Fuluan inviting immortals, and expressed his goodwill to Jia and Wang with this, Long Yan was furious.At that time, the black yarn official robes of Jiayu village were removed, and they were investigated according to the law.It even issued an order to severely reprimand Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng, and demoted them to three levels, so as to imitate others.

After this incident, today we are well aware of the seriousness of the unclear governance of officials, the unrest of the court, the unrest of the people, and the instability of the society.Then he made a secret decision that the administration of officials must be eliminated.

Now let's not talk about how turbulent the court is because of this, but Xue Baochai was expelled from the palace because of the exposure of his brother's past, which was a serious blow.I cried for several days at home with tears in my eyes.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng angered the saint because of Xue Pan's incident, and they were demoted to three ranks, which immediately became the laughing stock of the officials and officials in Beijing.Although it is not enough to vent his anger on the younger generation because of this, it also has a bit of grudge against Xue Pan.

Jia's mother never thought that her precious son would suffer from Xue Pan's incident, and she would become more and more dissatisfied with Xue's mother and daughter.

Xue Baochai never thought that with her talent, she would end up here.Although she secretly hated that she didn't have a good brother as an arm, she was not a person who complained about herself after all.I was depressed at home for a few days, but I regained my strength.

So in just a few days, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew about the "golden marriage".
