[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

Since the fifth girl went to school with the boys, the old lady has never given the fifth girl a good face. Fortunately, the fifth girl bowed to the gate of the courtyard when she greeted her in the morning, and went straight to school after she was done. She didn't have any contact with the old lady on weekdays, so No trouble.

The fifth girl thinks that she can't get along with the old lady, she has done her best, and the ones who really want to get along with each other are her brother and a few cousins, and no matter how bad they are, they are also the old lady. As for the old lady... let's do it first~

Main courtyard, flower hall.

Mrs. Wang was having breakfast, and her granddaughters had finished paying their respects and went back. The grandchildren were still in school, so it happened to give her a quiet time.

"Old lady, Miss Wu is saluting at the door again today." The old lady's confidant Wang Momo came in and whispered.

"Yeah." The old lady put down the porridge bowl and waved her hand to let a few big maids who were serving her go down. Although they were all her own, they still had to come out according to the severity. Say a few words that are unfavorable to the princess, but the next day the old man knows about it.After suffering a loss, the old lady became a lot more cautious, even if the princess is not in the mansion.

"Old lady, what do you think?" Nanny Wang was given the surname by the master's family, and she is a confidant of the confidants, and she is very loyal to the old lady.

"What do I see? She doesn't like to greet me as an old man. Seeing her mother-like foxy face, I will lose two bowls of rice!" the old lady complained casually.

"Old lady, you are the old birthday star, the old Fengjun..."

"Okay, don't come if you don't come. Is it possible that I have lost something by acting so petty? If outsiders know, they can only say that she is secretive, unfilial and rude. I also taught it, it is her I don't want to be taught, I would rather listen to a slave, let her." The old lady waved her hand to indicate that this topic is over.

"I'm afraid the old lady will intervene." Wang Momo added in a low voice. In fact, what she wanted to say most was "I'm afraid the princess will come back and get mad."

"What do men know about inner house affairs, and how knowledgeable are these servants? Well, I know this matter well. Since the fifth girl is high-minded, I will let her study with the man. I want to see if she can read." What kind of tricks come out of it. Do women rely on knowledge to conduct themselves in the world?" The old lady said angrily: "Speaking of her food, she eats two bites less!"

"Don't worry, old lady, it's time for Eldest Young Master to come to greet you." Wang Momo said that she was the most knowledgable person, and changed the subject.

"Brother Sheng is coming soon, bring me the shortbread I asked the girls to make, Brother Sheng loves this." The old lady was really happy, and hurriedly ordered Wang Momo.

"You, don't worry, no one will dare to neglect your apex!" Wang Momo flattered with a smile.

Mrs. Wang continued to eat with a smile.She really loves this eldest grandson. It doesn't matter if she has an annoying mother. This is her own son's eldest son and her own grandson. Mrs. Wang has been very concerned about Wang Zisheng since he landed, and she will wait for the princess to follow him After crossing the border, he raised Wang Zisheng by his side with deep affection.And what makes her most proud is that Wang Zisheng knows how to repay him, knows who is the one who really treats him well, and now he is three points closer to his grandmother than to his own mother.Every time she thinks of this, Mrs. Wang can't close her mouth with a smile.

The main room was full of joy and laughter, but the fifth girl seemed to be struck by lightning. The reason was naturally that when she was in the school this morning, her elder brother Wang Zisheng said that a friend was coming, and he had already asked for leave this afternoon to skip the martial arts class.

It's strange to blame Miss Wu for asking too much: "Big brother's friend, I don't know which family he is from. If I know, I can tell my grandmother so that she won't be worried."

"Don't worry, I've already told my grandmother that it's Brother Jia She of Rongguo Mansion." Wang Zisheng said with some pride that the friends he had been with were all heirs of various families.

Miss Wu couldn't hear what he was talking about, only the words Jia Amnesty and Rongguo Mansion swiped the screen in her mind!

The fifth girl returned to the room in a daze, and only said that she was tired and wanted to rest. After the maids left, she lay on the bed in a daze: Rongguo Mansion!Jia amnesty!

No wonder!Miss Wu thought, no wonder she thought the name Wang Zisheng was familiar, and thought it was because the word "Prince" was strange, so it was because of the Dream of Red Mansions!His fourth brother is called Wang Ziteng. I didn't care about it before, but now I think about it, Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng, isn't this the Wang family, one of the four major families in the Dream of the Red Chamber?There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea. The Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. Although this royal family is only an earl, it is very rich and has the nickname of "King of Jinling". Do you belong to such a wealthy family?

If this is a dream of Red Mansions, then who is she?Her elder brother is about the same age as Jia She, which means that she is from Jia She's generation, so she should be the elder of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu?

The fifth girl also pretended to be a literary youth for a period of time back then, and she still knew the general content of the four great classics, but the details were definitely not clear, and she only remembered the episodes of TV dramas that Dazzling had seen.If she was in the Dream of Red Mansions, what kind of role would she play, a background board, or a soy sauce party? Anyway, Dream of Red Mansions is a matter of Jia's family, so it should have nothing to do with her, Miss Wang, right?

Miss Wu was still worried, got up from the bed, ran to the dressing table, looked at a small figure in the dim bronze mirror, it was herself.Miss Wu pulled her face with her hand, it was her, not someone else!

After such a big event happened, the fifth girl didn't have the mind to sleep, and she didn't want to practice calligraphy. She dragged Mammy Xu to talk about ancient times, and only wanted to absorb more information.

"Why did the girl suddenly care about these things?" Mother Xu was puzzled.

"I was in a daze when I heard my elder brother talk about Rongguo Mansion today. Apart from going to my uncle's house to see my grandfather and grandmother during the Chinese New Year, I have never been out before. I was curious, so I wanted to hear what my mother had to say." Speaking of.

Xu Momo glanced carefully, and found that the fifth girl's face was full of curiosity, and she didn't mean to hurt herself. She thought that the fifth girl might not realize that it was the female family members of the royal family who deliberately didn't take her out to socialize.

"The girl is talking about the Rongguo Mansion. We are also old relatives in that mansion. Our surname is Jia. The old man is also a well-known figure who was named Duke of the State! As for the son Jia She that you heard is the eldest grandson of Duke Rong, I heard that I'm already engaged to Zhang Taifu's granddaughter, and I'm going to get married next year!" Mammy Xu first pointed out the news of Jia She's engagement.

"anything else?"

"Also, Mr. Rong has only one son, Mr. Dai Shan, who is working as an errand in the outskirts of Beijing. He is married to the young lady of Shihou's family."

"Shihou, is it Bowling Marquis Shihou?" The fifth girl hurriedly asked for confirmation.

"Exactly. On the day our old man celebrates his birthday, Master Shi Hou also passed the mansion. The girl must have heard about it at that time."

"Yes, yes, I heard what the little girl said." The fifth girl nodded repeatedly, and asked: "Do you have any relatives? Tell me, Mammy, I know in my heart that when I meet people in the future, I won't be ignorant of each other." , It was a joke."

"Most of the relatives in the family are heroes who fought with the grandpa/grandfather. The Jia family just mentioned also has a Duke Ning, who was named Duke Ning; there is also Master Shi, and the third wife is the second bedroom of the Baolinghou Mansion. There are also two families of the Marquis of Yong'an and Yongping who also have the same surname as Li, and they are also named Marquises. There are several families of Yongding, Yongxiang, and Xingping. Literati are knighted, and they have less contact. The private knights are about these, and the rest are made kings." Madam Xu suddenly added: "By the way, there is also the Xue family, who used to be a wealthy merchant in Jinling, but now they are named Ziweisheren , is also an honor."

"What kind of title is Ziwei Sheren? I usually only hear about the title of Duke Hou Bozinan?" Fifth Miss asked curiously.

"This nanny doesn't know too well, why don't you write a letter to the master and princess to ask?" Mammy Xu didn't know how to explain it to her daughter, and let her master control the speed of it.

"What about the king?"

"Now there are four kings in Dongping, Nan'an, Xining, and Beijing."

"But grandpa isn't among them?" Miss Wu said.

"These four are kings with different surnames. The prince is the younger brother of the emperor, and the title of the king is also the title of the clan. How can they be confused? Miss, you also have the blood of the royal family!" Madam Xu said proudly.

"Then mother, tell me about my grandfather's house."

"Girl, how can this royal blood be talked about freely? You have been tired all morning, so go take a rest. In the second half of the day, Mammy will teach you a new trick!" Xu The nanny is a slave from the royal family, and her respect for the royal family is deep in her bones. Although she knows it, a slave should not tell the girl these words.The girl is still young now, and she doesn't need these.

"Okay, listen to Mammy, I will write to my parents and fourth brother first in the afternoon, and then I will learn how to tie the net." The fifth girl initially satisfied the curiosity in her heart and fell asleep.

The fifth girl went to bed in a hurry, thinking, there are many prominent families that Madam Xu talked about that were not mentioned in the Dream of the Red Chamber, so it must be possible that they are all gone.So, this is real life, and the world is much bigger.

Thinking about it this way, Miss Wu is no longer obsessed with what kind of position she has in the Dream of the Red Chamber. She knows the past, she dare not say who she wants to marry, and it is easy for her not to marry anyone.

In the afternoon, I wrote a childlike letter and handed it to Madam Xu, and the fifth girl felt better.

Madam Xu received the letter, and wrote a letter of daily greetings and reports. The letter mentioned that "the old lady is as loving as ever", "the girl has entered school", "the young master is pure filial piety", but at the end of the letter, she said that the girl I was very curious about the relationship between each family, and asked if I should explain it to the girl in detail.

Socializing is also the homework of the head of the house. The complex network of relationships in the imperial capital started in elementary school, so mistakes are inevitable in the future.

The fifth girl has endured for two days, made three new nets, and entrusted Madam Xu to take them to the border. Now she is in a bit of a difficult situation at home, and pins all her hopes on her biological parents.

Parents in this life, when will we meet again?
