Taking another look at the old green palace dress on her body, Baochai smiled at the person in the mirror.What you couldn't ask for in the previous life, you can get it without any effort in this life.
She didn't know who was occupying her body, but she silently observed that person's actions for seven or eight years.That person's behavior was completely different from hers. Baochai wanted to remind her many times that only when her brother's stupidity was set off, could she show her intelligence and get her father's favor more easily, but that person didn't do that.Baochai also wanted to remind the man that with the support of good relatives, his family could be firmly in the top four families, but the man reminded his father to stay away from his uncle and aunt's house.
And how could he not be on guard at all in his relationship with Lin Daiyu?That's just a girl longing for family affection, why bother with her?Thinking that my last life was nothing more than a few bird's nests, I let that girl exchange Jinlan language with me, so why bother to think about her?
But it was also because of that person that his father did not pass away early, and he also controlled his mother to stay away from his uncle and aunt's family.The Xue family did not become the money bag of the Wang family and the Jia family, even if they lost the name of the imperial merchant, they were still farming and studying.And the elder brother was provoked by the man's words several times, not only did not cause trouble, but he got the reputation of a scholar early.There is also the Lin family, who are actually relatives with the concubines in the palace, and helped themselves not to be ordinary maids, and became a female official!
Even if she didn't want to admit it, Baochai knew that it was the actions of that person that prevented her family from being ruined like in the previous life, and also allowed her to really enter the palace, and was recognized by Concubine Shu.
Could it be that I was wrong in my last life?Baochai smiled silently when she thought of the position of Second Grandma Bao that she managed to get in her last life.A person like Jia Baoyu, who has no responsibility, has to seek hard for his wife's position.In this life, even if my good aunt asks again, I will never marry into Jia's family again.
Thinking of the Jia family, Baochai had to think of the confrontation between that man and Jia Yuanchun.She actually let her overwhelm Jia Yuanchun!The illustrious concubine Xiande in the previous life is now just an ordinary maid in the Daming Palace, and has become the laughing stock of the entire harem.Even if my uncle turned back to support Jia Yuanchun now, it would be of no use at all—a person who had received the grace of the Supreme Emperor but betrayed the Supreme Emperor could still live now, but the Supreme Emperor thought it would be too cheap for her to die.
Baochai is a person who understands current affairs very clearly. Since he found out that the man's behavior seemed to be difficult, but he did not leave any excuses everywhere, and was praised by everyone, how could he run counter to that person's actions?Isn't it just treating people with sincerity, and forgetting the ambition of Qingyun?Baochai, who was hurt by Qingyun Zhizhi in the previous life, decided to follow that person's way of doing things from now on.
Anyway, that person has already gained the trust of Concubine Shu, as long as Baochai doesn't use this trust to make small moves, she believes that Concubine Shu will not treat her badly.And with Concubine Shu's care, it's safer in this harem than groping by yourself.After all, Concubine Shu has a son, and she is still a well-bred prince, even the queen has to give her some face.
Sure enough, as Baochai expected, everyone in Shangli Palace, apart from finding that Baochai's embroidery skills have improved again, not only are there more patterns, but also his spirituality is more compelling, no one thinks that Baochai has changed the core - the appearance is the same, Acting the same, who always pays attention to a little female officer?
Only Concubine Shu felt that Baochai was more joking than before, she was already a bit older, and she wanted the people around her to be more lively, so that they could be more angry in this deep palace.What's more, when the third prince came to Changli Palace, Baochai would hide whenever he could, which made Concubine Shu think it was a good idea.
And Baochai also maintained the friendship between that person and Yao Nanny, no matter what happened or not, he would talk to Yao Yao when he had free time-in the deep palace, can there be someone who is willing to listen to his grievances and share his grievances? What a rare thing is the sadness.Baochai had to admire the man's ability to communicate with others again.
Unknowingly, a year has passed, and Baochai once again received permission from Concubine Shu to go out of the palace to visit her relatives.This year, Father Xue followed Baochai's request and only devoted himself to being his rich man. Except for patrolling the shop, he didn't even leave the house easily, but Aunt Xue looked down upon Aunt Xue. He couldn't find a chance to repair the relationship with Madam Wang. .
But Mrs. Wang didn't want to give up the Xue family, she put down the money and didn't talk about it, she just wanted to inquire about Jia Yuanchun, and now only Baochai is left.If there are still people thinking about Jia Yuanchun in the entire Rongguo Mansion, then Mrs. Wang is the only one left.
But how could Baochai forget the harm her good aunt brought to her family in her previous life?At that time, Jia's mother just didn't like Xue's family background, but her good aunt was collecting money from Xue's family, and at the same time she was trying to find a horse by riding a donkey.So when faced with Mrs. Wang who was waiting for her at Xue's house, Baochai's answer was only: "The rules in the palace are strict, each palace is not allowed to go around in private, and I don't know about sister Yuanchun's situation."
As for the fact that Mrs. Wang wanted her to bring some silver to Yuanchun, Baochai only said: "Everyone in the palace has their own rules, and private giving and receiving are not allowed. Let alone bringing something to Sister Yuanchun, even I myself Never bring money into the palace."
Aunt Xue didn't know her daughter's feelings for Yuan Chun, so she also helped Baochai and said: "Bao girl is right, since the day she entered the palace, my family has never brought her any money."
Although Mrs. Wang was dubious, she was not willing to force her to do so, so she had to leave in disappointment.She was disappointed or not, how could Baochai care? If she didn't want to be as far away from Jia's house as possible, she wouldn't mind collecting money for her own use like the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Therefore, when Baochai left home, Aunt Xue asked her to take care of Jia Yuanchun after returning to the palace. How did you take care of me? Has Mom forgotten? Or is it in Mom's heart that Sister Yuanchun is closer than my daughter?"
Although Aunt Xue felt that her daughter's words were too unfeeling, Jia Yuanchun's actions were too vicious, and she couldn't say more words of intercession, so she could only sigh in her heart that she couldn't help herself.
This year is already the year of Baochai's Jiji, and Baochai can't help but recall the joke-like Jiji in his previous life.Is that Jia Mu making a face for herself?It's clearly a slap in the face, okay?So when she received the hairpin from Daiyu Concubine Shu, Baochai burst into tears: who is sincere and who is fake, why is it so difficult to tell?
Seeing Baochai's true feelings, Concubine Shu sighed with emotion and laughed at the same time: "Why are you so shallow-sighted? You just manage my private treasury. I haven't seen many good things, not to mention that I don't miss your things on weekdays. I shed tears for such a ruby hairpin."
Baochai also knew that tears should not be seen in this palace, so while wiping her face, she apologized, "It was because of a feeling that this servant had offended the empress for a while, please forgive me."
Concubine Shu smiled nonchalantly: "It's also worth talking about. It's just that you and the sister of the Lin family are doing well. It's too late for me to be happy. It's also your fate. Maybe there will be more when we meet in this palace in the future. Woolen cloth."
Baochai was taken aback, she didn't think that Lin Ruhai would be willing to let her only daughter enter the palace, and although Daiyu's status was not bad, she just lost her mother, which was also taboo in the palace.Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her eyes widened for a moment: "Your Majesty, you mean?"
Concubine Shu nodded with a smile: "I'm still watching this matter, so don't tell outsiders yet."
Baochai was already laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Then congratulations to your mother. Young Master Biao is a person with great promise, and with Master Lin's guidance, his future is bound to be limitless."
Concubine Shu teased her and said: "You are so happy when you talk about other people's affairs. How many years older are you than the Lin family's sister. It's a delay in entering the palace."
Baochai hurriedly said: "Your maidservant has the good fortune to serve your empress, and she has her trust. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?" Clearly, how can I compare with Sister Lin."
Concubine Shu rejoiced that she knew her role, and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself. If you can enter the palace, you must have a clean family background. Who is worse than the people who go out of the Shangli Palace? Naturally, you have your background. "
The people around congratulated Baochai, but Baochai only smiled lightly, and let everyone make jokes—court ladies can only leave the palace at the age of 25, and if the ladies win the favor of the master and become the master's right and left hands, they will never leave the palace for the rest of their lives There are also.She is only 15 years old this year, and she still has at least ten years to spend in this palace, so what if Concubine Shu gives her grace at that time?In the future, besides filling in houses for others, she will only be a nanny teaching palace rules to others.
I couldn't help thinking that that person once told Daiyu that she would go out of the palace to serve Daiyu's children as a nanny, and smiled at Concubine Shu: "The way out for slaves has long been established. I made an agreement with Sister Lin. Now, when I leave the palace in the future, I will go to be a foster mother for sister Lin's children."
Concubine Shu was very happy: "You two are shameless. They are only so old, so they have to think about things that will happen more than ten years later." Since then, they have taken the matter of Baochai to heart.
A few days after the first lunar month, good news came from outside the palace, the marriage between the Tang and Lin families was completed.I just don't know what Jia's mother would think, who was only thinking about matching Shuangyu.It's just that today, for the sake of showing Lin Ruhai's merits, he personally issued a marriage decree, which is the icing on the cake.No matter how much dissatisfaction Jia Mu has, she has to keep it in her heart, and she can't get angry.
Thinking of Jia's mother's loss, Baochai laughed wickedly for a while, and then accepted Concubine Shu's errand to give Daiyu a reward.The two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years. Besides congratulating Daiyu, Baochai also asked her about the Jia family's attitude towards this marriage.
Daiyu's small face was a bit depressed: "When the old lady just heard that my father was looking for someone to marry, she even asked my second uncle to come to see my father. She said that when my mother was here, there was an idea of marriage between the two families. It’s just that I haven’t seen it mentioned in these years, but I’m going to bring it up after combining the horoscope. Fortunately, the Tang family doesn’t care about it, otherwise there is still a way for me to survive?”
Baochai had no choice but to comfort her and said: "Who made you have a good family background and a good birth, so that people will miss you? They are just relatives, and your wife left early. How much affection can you have? It's good, it's good, it's not good. Just stay far away." He whispered to Daiyu, "You just look at our house, as long as you can stay away from that house."
Daiyu said: "You are just relatives with their second wife, how can my family compare? But this time my father was also very angry, and came back after only sitting for a while during the Chinese New Year. I don't even think about it. When we came to Beijing, because my father didn't get the job for a while, the mansion never took care of us."
Baochai only felt that the Jia family's fox tail was exposed too early in this life, and he didn't know if it was because of that person who prevented Jia Yuanchun from becoming a concubine, so he had to comfort Daiyu again, and did not return until she was relieved. Gong Fuming.
Happy events are always followed by happy events. As soon as the two families were settled, the young master of the Tang family over there was awarded a Jinshi. It was a double happiness, and it also made Daiyu a sign of prosperity.Concubine Shu felt that there was hope for the revival of her natal family, and she kept laughing and laughing every day.
Concubine Shu is happy, and everyone in Shangli Palace is also happy, and the life is more peaceful.In addition, even if Concubine Shu has her own ups and downs in her heart, she doesn't show it on the surface. In this deep palace, everyone in Shangli Palace is kept safe, and the more people are in harmony, the more outsiders can't get in.
It's just that the Shangli Palace is calm, and the wind and rain outside still haven't stopped.First of all, concubines are still allowed to visit relatives today, saying that it is to understand the meaning of concubines' parents missing their children.For a while, all the important concubines in the palace wanted to move, but the empress and concubine Shu made it clear to the present that they would not participate in the matter of visiting relatives.
Baochai couldn't help admiring Concubine Shu's heart--it's not easy to keep a clear head in such a situation where everyone is vying to be the first and everyone wins.What's more, it's good that Concubine Shu finds a reason, her father and brother are no longer there, and a nephew has just won the Jinshi, so I don't want to increase the fatigue of the widow and sister-in-law just because of me.
Today it is not difficult for others, and I have come to Shangli Palace a few more times to comfort Concubine Shu's pain of not being able to visit her relatives.Baochai regretted that Jia Yuanchun could not visit her relatives: she knew very well how the Grand View Garden was built in her previous life.In this life, without the wealth of the Lin family, and without the support of the Xue family, if Jia Yuanchun still visits relatives, the garden of the Jia family may not even be able to be built.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Baochai to regret it, when Qiulan heard that Jia Yuanchun somehow offended the Supreme Emperor, and was sent to the cold palace as an errand.Baochai felt that the Supreme Emperor might be like her, dissatisfied with not letting the Jia family lose their money immediately, so he drove Jia Yuanchun from the dust to the ground.
But even so, Baochai didn't inquire why Jia Yuanchun offended the Supreme Emperor, and he didn't want anyone to go to the cold palace to take care of Jia Yuanchun.There are no secrets in this palace. She inquired about the affairs of the Daming Palace to seek death, and to take care of Jia Yuanchun was afraid that she would not die fast enough. Jia Yuanchun's management will inevitably make Xue's family think of two ends.
Knowing that Jia Yuanchun was getting worse and worse, Baochai was in a good mood. Hearing the concubine's visiting grand occasion, Baochai saw some clues: the concubines who participated in the visiting were all from the families of veterans who were valued by the Supreme Emperor. And all of these families owe money to the treasury.
This kind of discovery made Baochai restless for a few days, and she was ashamed of the shortsightedness of her mother and daughter in her previous life: Jia's family owed money to the treasury, and even built a grand view garden that cost 300 million, but what do you think now?Nowadays, he doesn't care where the Jia family's money comes from, he only thinks that the Jia family has become a moth to the treasury for his own enjoyment!
Such a family, no wonder there was a disaster of copying the family in the previous life!
With lingering fears in her heart, Baochai devoted herself even more to serving Concubine Shu—if it wasn't for Concubine Shu in this life, she might be dragged down by Jia Yuanchun.Even if there is that person's means, but if Concubine Shu is cold and ignorant, her life will not be as easy as it is now.
It's not that Concubine Shu didn't notice Baochai's graciousness, but it was because of Daiyu that she only put her own satisfaction in her heart and trusted Baochai even more.When Baochai visited his relatives again this year, he told his father Xue about his discovery, reminding him to guard against his good aunt coaxing money from Aunt Xue again—even though Jia Yuanchun did not visit his relatives in this life, Based on the virtues of the Jia family, it will be a matter of time before they can live without food.
Although Xue's father has entered the retirement status ahead of schedule, his son is already preparing for the imperial examination, and his daughter is favored by nobles in the palace. What's the problem?Now he can be regarded as obedient to Baochai's words, so he naturally keeps Baochai's words in his heart.Let the Xue family escape the fate of being boarded by Jia Jiaba.
It's just that this year is destined to be an eventful one.The Taishanghuang's health is getting worse and worse, but Zhen Taiguifei actually passed away at this time.The Taishanghuang was heartbroken and made his body even more dilapidated.Today, for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, we have no choice but to bury Concubine Zhen Taigui with national ceremonies.
There was a lot of mourning in the palace, and all the wives came to cry, and the concubines had to keep watch.Baochai and the others followed naturally.While going in and out, I also met Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and others face to face, but Baochai had no intention of talking to them, and turned a blind eye to their desire to speak.
The people of the Jia family couldn't help Baochai, who had become a female official, so they had to cry as usual, and no longer wanted to have anything.It's just that the women didn't expect that they worked so hard to support the Jia family's face in the palace, but the men outside the palace stripped Rongguo Mansion's face clean.
Jia Jing still took medicine and knocked himself to death, Du Yanli's funeral happened, Jia Lian secretly married the second sister You, and Wang Xifeng asked her husband to sue her husband, and the same happened.
The Jia family's murderous footsteps will not stop, and no one can stop them.Wang Ziteng followed Jia Jing's footsteps and died for no apparent reason less than a hundred miles away from Beijing.After Baochai heard the news, he knew that the last pillar supporting the Jiawang family had also fallen, and that the Jiawang family was not far from falling apart.
If it was the Xue family in the original book, it would be almost time to marry Xia Jingui, and it would be the time when the Xue family was about to be ruined.Fortunately, Xue's father is still there now, and he is far away from Jia's house, and Xue Pan is trying his best to think about the examination, and has nothing to do with Xia Jingui.
Facts have proved that Baochai reassured too early.When giving Daiyu the reward from Concubine Shu, she went back to Xue's house by the way, only to find out that Mrs. Wang actually went to Xue's house to be a matchmaker for Xue Pan, and the marriage she was talking about was actually Xia Jingui!Fortunately, Father Xue is much more reliable than Aunt Xue, so he knew that he had to inquire about the character of the marriage partner.After Baochai returned home and clearly expressed his negative attitude, Father Xue immediately felt that his daughter was right: his son was about to win the examination, and it was not impossible for him to be a Jinshi in the future. Of course, the marriage had to be seen by officials and eunuchs. .As for the Xia family of the Imperial Merchant House, let them rest in a cool place.
Mrs. Wang, who was trying to ease the relationship with Xue's family by being a matchmaker for the only son of Xue's family, failed again. She had no choice but to stay in the Rongguo Mansion by herself. struggling to support.
The Rongguo Mansion at this time is still different from the original book: Jia Yuanchun has no concubine, and Mrs. Wang's confidence in facing Jia Mu is not as strong as in the original book.The death of Wang Ziteng left her without the support of her natal family.Jia Zheng and her have respected her like ice for many years, but her only son, Jia Baoyu, made her see no hope. Whether she admits it or not, Mrs. Wang also knows the current situation of her son: that is a son who was raised by Jia's mother. , The child who never wants to grow up.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang hopes to have a closer relationship with the Xue family than in the original book. It may not be for the money of the Xue family, but simply because she wants to have a mother's family to move around.It's just that people always have to be responsible for what they have done. She once participated in coaxing the Xue family, and took too much money from the Xue family. Father Xue no longer gives her the opportunity to have close contact with Aunt Xue.
Baochai didn't know how Xue's father did it in the palace, and she is now preparing a wedding gift for Daiyu.Yes, Daiyu has already arrived, and the day of the big wedding is set on June [-]th.This girl who made Baochai love, hate and envy her in her previous life is ahead of Baochai again in this life.
But Baochai in this life has no jealousy or resentment towards Daiyu.The more sincerely he gets along with Daiyu, the more Baochai realizes his sophistication in the previous life, which made him miss such a good friend.The last life has become dust, so in this life, Baochai will use her future life to make up for the regrets of the previous life.
When Daiyu received the screen of a hundred birds facing the phoenix embroidered by Baochai for her wedding, she was moved to tears. Unlike Baochai who changed people midway, she had always been friends with Baochai.Daiyu recognized Baochai as a lifelong friend from the moment she put on the peace talisman Baochai gave her.
She has a grand marriage, but her friend is still serving others in the deep palace. The kind-hearted Daiyu feels that she should do something for her friend. After all, Baochai is three years older than herself, and she is already considered an old girl.
Thanks to Baochai's performance over the years, and even more thanks to the lobbying of the new nephew and daughter-in-law, Concubine Shu asked for the present and pointed Baochai to a second-class guard.The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, not to mention the guards in the palace!The family is also a prominent family in Beijing, so they can put their children next to the emperor to pass the gold.
Baochai, who was sent out of the palace in advance, looked back at the red palace wall again.Finally left, no regrets, no unwillingness.Hundreds of maids are selected to enter the palace every year, but how many of them can leave the palace safely?Like myself, not only can she leave the palace ahead of time, but she can also marry into an official family. How many people are there who are upright ladies?
Satisfied, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that treating people with sincerity will not get less than calculating.
She didn't know who was occupying her body, but she silently observed that person's actions for seven or eight years.That person's behavior was completely different from hers. Baochai wanted to remind her many times that only when her brother's stupidity was set off, could she show her intelligence and get her father's favor more easily, but that person didn't do that.Baochai also wanted to remind the man that with the support of good relatives, his family could be firmly in the top four families, but the man reminded his father to stay away from his uncle and aunt's house.
And how could he not be on guard at all in his relationship with Lin Daiyu?That's just a girl longing for family affection, why bother with her?Thinking that my last life was nothing more than a few bird's nests, I let that girl exchange Jinlan language with me, so why bother to think about her?
But it was also because of that person that his father did not pass away early, and he also controlled his mother to stay away from his uncle and aunt's family.The Xue family did not become the money bag of the Wang family and the Jia family, even if they lost the name of the imperial merchant, they were still farming and studying.And the elder brother was provoked by the man's words several times, not only did not cause trouble, but he got the reputation of a scholar early.There is also the Lin family, who are actually relatives with the concubines in the palace, and helped themselves not to be ordinary maids, and became a female official!
Even if she didn't want to admit it, Baochai knew that it was the actions of that person that prevented her family from being ruined like in the previous life, and also allowed her to really enter the palace, and was recognized by Concubine Shu.
Could it be that I was wrong in my last life?Baochai smiled silently when she thought of the position of Second Grandma Bao that she managed to get in her last life.A person like Jia Baoyu, who has no responsibility, has to seek hard for his wife's position.In this life, even if my good aunt asks again, I will never marry into Jia's family again.
Thinking of the Jia family, Baochai had to think of the confrontation between that man and Jia Yuanchun.She actually let her overwhelm Jia Yuanchun!The illustrious concubine Xiande in the previous life is now just an ordinary maid in the Daming Palace, and has become the laughing stock of the entire harem.Even if my uncle turned back to support Jia Yuanchun now, it would be of no use at all—a person who had received the grace of the Supreme Emperor but betrayed the Supreme Emperor could still live now, but the Supreme Emperor thought it would be too cheap for her to die.
Baochai is a person who understands current affairs very clearly. Since he found out that the man's behavior seemed to be difficult, but he did not leave any excuses everywhere, and was praised by everyone, how could he run counter to that person's actions?Isn't it just treating people with sincerity, and forgetting the ambition of Qingyun?Baochai, who was hurt by Qingyun Zhizhi in the previous life, decided to follow that person's way of doing things from now on.
Anyway, that person has already gained the trust of Concubine Shu, as long as Baochai doesn't use this trust to make small moves, she believes that Concubine Shu will not treat her badly.And with Concubine Shu's care, it's safer in this harem than groping by yourself.After all, Concubine Shu has a son, and she is still a well-bred prince, even the queen has to give her some face.
Sure enough, as Baochai expected, everyone in Shangli Palace, apart from finding that Baochai's embroidery skills have improved again, not only are there more patterns, but also his spirituality is more compelling, no one thinks that Baochai has changed the core - the appearance is the same, Acting the same, who always pays attention to a little female officer?
Only Concubine Shu felt that Baochai was more joking than before, she was already a bit older, and she wanted the people around her to be more lively, so that they could be more angry in this deep palace.What's more, when the third prince came to Changli Palace, Baochai would hide whenever he could, which made Concubine Shu think it was a good idea.
And Baochai also maintained the friendship between that person and Yao Nanny, no matter what happened or not, he would talk to Yao Yao when he had free time-in the deep palace, can there be someone who is willing to listen to his grievances and share his grievances? What a rare thing is the sadness.Baochai had to admire the man's ability to communicate with others again.
Unknowingly, a year has passed, and Baochai once again received permission from Concubine Shu to go out of the palace to visit her relatives.This year, Father Xue followed Baochai's request and only devoted himself to being his rich man. Except for patrolling the shop, he didn't even leave the house easily, but Aunt Xue looked down upon Aunt Xue. He couldn't find a chance to repair the relationship with Madam Wang. .
But Mrs. Wang didn't want to give up the Xue family, she put down the money and didn't talk about it, she just wanted to inquire about Jia Yuanchun, and now only Baochai is left.If there are still people thinking about Jia Yuanchun in the entire Rongguo Mansion, then Mrs. Wang is the only one left.
But how could Baochai forget the harm her good aunt brought to her family in her previous life?At that time, Jia's mother just didn't like Xue's family background, but her good aunt was collecting money from Xue's family, and at the same time she was trying to find a horse by riding a donkey.So when faced with Mrs. Wang who was waiting for her at Xue's house, Baochai's answer was only: "The rules in the palace are strict, each palace is not allowed to go around in private, and I don't know about sister Yuanchun's situation."

If she didn't want to be as far away from Jia's house as possible, she wouldn't mind collecting money for her own use like the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Therefore, when Baochai left home, Aunt Xue asked her to take care of Jia Yuanchun after returning to the palace. How did you take care of me? Has Mom forgotten? Or is it in Mom's heart that Sister Yuanchun is closer than my daughter?"
Although Aunt Xue felt that her daughter's words were too unfeeling, Jia Yuanchun's actions were too vicious, and she couldn't say more words of intercession, so she could only sigh in her heart that she couldn't help herself.
This year is already the year of Baochai's Jiji, and Baochai can't help but recall the joke-like Jiji in his previous life.Is that Jia Mu making a face for herself?It's clearly a slap in the face, okay?So when she received the hairpin from Daiyu Concubine Shu, Baochai burst into tears: who is sincere and who is fake, why is it so difficult to tell?

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile: "I'm still watching this matter, so don't tell outsiders yet."
Baochai was already laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Then congratulations to your mother. Young Master Biao is a person with great promise, and with Master Lin's guidance, his future is bound to be limitless."
Concubine Shu teased her and said: "You are so happy when you talk about other people's affairs. How many years older are you than the Lin family's sister. It's a delay in entering the palace."
Baochai hurriedly said: "Your maidservant has the good fortune to serve your empress, and she has her trust. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?" Clearly, how can I compare with Sister Lin."
Concubine Shu rejoiced that she knew her role, and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself. If you can enter the palace, you must have a clean family background. Who is worse than the people who go out of the Shangli Palace? Naturally, you have your background. "
The people around congratulated Baochai, but Baochai only smiled lightly, and let everyone make jokes—court ladies can only leave the palace at the age of 25, and if the ladies win the favor of the master and become the master's right and left hands, they will never leave the palace for the rest of their lives There are also.She is only 15 years old this year, and she still has at least ten years to spend in this palace, so what if Concubine Shu gives her grace at that time?In the future, besides filling in houses for others, she will only be a nanny teaching palace rules to others.
I couldn't help thinking that that person once told Daiyu that she would go out of the palace to serve Daiyu's children as a nanny, and smiled at Concubine Shu: "The way out for slaves has long been established. I made an agreement with Sister Lin. Now, when I leave the palace in the future, I will go to be a foster mother for sister Lin's children."
Concubine Shu was very happy: "You two are shameless. They are only so old, so they have to think about things that will happen more than ten years later." Since then, they have taken the matter of Baochai to heart.
A few days after the first lunar month, good news came from outside the palace, the marriage between the Tang and Lin families was completed.I just don't know what Jia's mother would think, who was only thinking about matching Shuangyu.It's just that today, for the sake of showing Lin Ruhai's merits, he personally issued a marriage decree, which is the icing on the cake.No matter how much dissatisfaction Jia Mu has, she has to keep it in her heart, and she can't get angry.
Thinking of Jia's mother's loss, Baochai laughed wickedly for a while, and then accepted Concubine Shu's errand to give Daiyu a reward.The two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years. Besides congratulating Daiyu, Baochai also asked her about the Jia family's attitude towards this marriage.
Daiyu's small face was a bit depressed: "When the old lady just heard that my father was looking for someone to marry, she even asked my second uncle to come to see my father. She said that when my mother was here, there was an idea of marriage between the two families. It’s just that I haven’t seen it mentioned in these years, but I’m going to bring it up after combining the horoscope. Fortunately, the Tang family doesn’t care about it, otherwise there is still a way for me to survive?”
Baochai had no choice but to comfort her and said: "Who made you have a good family background and a good birth, so that people will miss you? They are just relatives, and your wife left early. How much affection can you have? It's good, it's good, it's not good. Just stay far away." He whispered to Daiyu, "You just look at our house, as long as you can stay away from that house."
Daiyu said: "You are just relatives with their second wife, how can my family compare? But this time my father was also very angry, and came back after only sitting for a while during the Chinese New Year. I don't even think about it. When we came to Beijing, because my father didn't get the job for a while, the mansion never took care of us."
Baochai only felt that the Jia family's fox tail was exposed too early in this life, and he didn't know if it was because of that person who prevented Jia Yuanchun from becoming a concubine, so he had to comfort Daiyu again, and did not return until she was relieved. Gong Fuming.
Happy events are always followed by happy events. As soon as the two families were settled, the young master of the Tang family over there was awarded a Jinshi. It was a double happiness, and it also made Daiyu a sign of prosperity.Concubine Shu felt that there was hope for the revival of her natal family, and she kept laughing and laughing every day.
Concubine Shu is happy, and everyone in Shangli Palace is also happy, and the life is more peaceful.In addition, even if Concubine Shu has her own ups and downs in her heart, she doesn't show it on the surface. In this deep palace, everyone in Shangli Palace is kept safe, and the more people are in harmony, the more outsiders can't get in.
It's just that the Shangli Palace is calm, and the wind and rain outside still haven't stopped.First of all, concubines are still allowed to visit relatives today, saying that it is to understand the meaning of concubines' parents missing their children.For a while, all the important concubines in the palace wanted to move, but the empress and concubine Shu made it clear to the present that they would not participate in the matter of visiting relatives.
Baochai couldn't help admiring Concubine Shu's heart--it's not easy to keep a clear head in such a situation where everyone is vying to be the first and everyone wins.What's more, it's good that Concubine Shu finds a reason, her father and brother are no longer there, and a nephew has just won the Jinshi, so I don't want to increase the fatigue of the widow and sister-in-law just because of me.
Today it is not difficult for others, and I have come to Shangli Palace a few more times to comfort Concubine Shu's pain of not being able to visit her relatives.Baochai regretted that Jia Yuanchun could not visit her relatives: she knew very well how the Grand View Garden was built in her previous life.In this life, without the wealth of the Lin family, and without the support of the Xue family, if Jia Yuanchun still visits relatives, the garden of the Jia family may not even be able to be built.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Baochai to regret it, when Qiulan heard that Jia Yuanchun somehow offended the Supreme Emperor, and was sent to the cold palace as an errand.Baochai felt that the Supreme Emperor might be like her, dissatisfied with not letting the Jia family lose their money immediately, so he drove Jia Yuanchun from the dust to the ground.
But even so, Baochai didn't inquire why Jia Yuanchun offended the Supreme Emperor, and he didn't want anyone to go to the cold palace to take care of Jia Yuanchun.There are no secrets in this palace. She inquired about the affairs of the Daming Palace to seek death, and to take care of Jia Yuanchun was afraid that she would not die fast enough. Jia Yuanchun's management will inevitably make Xue's family think of two ends.
Knowing that Jia Yuanchun was getting worse and worse, Baochai was in a good mood. Hearing the concubine's visiting grand occasion, Baochai saw some clues: the concubines who participated in the visiting were all from the families of veterans who were valued by the Supreme Emperor. And all of these families owe money to the treasury.
This kind of discovery made Baochai restless for a few days, and she was ashamed of the shortsightedness of her mother and daughter in her previous life: Jia's family owed money to the treasury, and even built a grand view garden that cost 300 million, but what do you think now?Nowadays, he doesn't care where the Jia family's money comes from, he only thinks that the Jia family has become a moth to the treasury for his own enjoyment!
Such a family, no wonder there was a disaster of copying the family in the previous life!
With lingering fears in her heart, Baochai devoted herself even more to serving Concubine Shu—if it wasn't for Concubine Shu in this life, she might be dragged down by Jia Yuanchun.Even if there is that person's means, but if Concubine Shu is cold and ignorant, her life will not be as easy as it is now.
It's not that Concubine Shu didn't notice Baochai's graciousness, but it was because of Daiyu that she only put her own satisfaction in her heart and trusted Baochai even more.When Baochai visited his relatives again this year, he told his father Xue about his discovery, reminding him to guard against his good aunt coaxing money from Aunt Xue again—even though Jia Yuanchun did not visit his relatives in this life, Based on the virtues of the Jia family, it will be a matter of time before they can live without food.
Although Xue's father has entered the retirement status ahead of schedule, his son is already preparing for the imperial examination, and his daughter is favored by nobles in the palace. What's the problem?Now he can be regarded as obedient to Baochai's words, so he naturally keeps Baochai's words in his heart.Let the Xue family escape the fate of being boarded by Jia Jiaba.
It's just that this year is destined to be an eventful one.The Taishanghuang's health is getting worse and worse, but Zhen Taiguifei actually passed away at this time.The Taishanghuang was heartbroken and made his body even more dilapidated.Today, for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, we have no choice but to bury Concubine Zhen Taigui with national ceremonies.
There was a lot of mourning in the palace, and all the wives came to cry, and the concubines had to keep watch.Baochai and the others followed naturally.While going in and out, I also met Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and others face to face, but Baochai had no intention of talking to them, and turned a blind eye to their desire to speak.
The people of the Jia family couldn't help Baochai, who had become a female official, so they had to cry as usual, and no longer wanted to have anything.It's just that the women didn't expect that they worked so hard to support the Jia family's face in the palace, but the men outside the palace stripped Rongguo Mansion's face clean.
Jia Jing still took medicine and knocked himself to death, Du Yanli's funeral happened, Jia Lian secretly married the second sister You, and Wang Xifeng asked her husband to sue her husband, and the same happened.
The Jia family's murderous footsteps will not stop, and no one can stop them.Wang Ziteng followed Jia Jing's footsteps and died for no apparent reason less than a hundred miles away from Beijing.After Baochai heard the news, he knew that the last pillar supporting the Jiawang family had also fallen, and that the Jiawang family was not far from falling apart.
If it was the Xue family in the original book, it would be almost time to marry Xia Jingui, and it would be the time when the Xue family was about to be ruined.Fortunately, Xue's father is still there now, and he is far away from Jia's house, and Xue Pan is trying his best to think about the examination, and has nothing to do with Xia Jingui.
Facts have proved that Baochai reassured too early.When giving Daiyu the reward from Concubine Shu, she went back to Xue's house by the way, only to find out that Mrs. Wang actually went to Xue's house to be a matchmaker for Xue Pan, and the marriage she was talking about was actually Xia Jingui!Fortunately, Father Xue is much more reliable than Aunt Xue, so he knew that he had to inquire about the character of the marriage partner.After Baochai returned home and clearly expressed his negative attitude, Father Xue immediately felt that his daughter was right: his son was about to win the examination, and it was not impossible for him to be a Jinshi in the future. Of course, the marriage had to be seen by officials and eunuchs. .As for the Xia family of the Imperial Merchant House, let them rest in a cool place.
Mrs. Wang, who was trying to ease the relationship with Xue's family by being a matchmaker for the only son of Xue's family, failed again. She had no choice but to stay in the Rongguo Mansion by herself. struggling to support.
The Rongguo Mansion at this time is still different from the original book: Jia Yuanchun has no concubine, and Mrs. Wang's confidence in facing Jia Mu is not as strong as in the original book.The death of Wang Ziteng left her without the support of her natal family.Jia Zheng and her have respected her like ice for many years, but her only son, Jia Baoyu, made her see no hope. Whether she admits it or not, Mrs. Wang also knows the current situation of her son: that is a son who was raised by Jia's mother. , The child who never wants to grow up.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang hopes to have a closer relationship with the Xue family than in the original book. It may not be for the money of the Xue family, but simply because she wants to have a mother's family to move around.It's just that people always have to be responsible for what they have done. She once participated in coaxing the Xue family, and took too much money from the Xue family. Father Xue no longer gives her the opportunity to have close contact with Aunt Xue.
Baochai didn't know how Xue's father did it in the palace, and she is now preparing a wedding gift for Daiyu.Yes, Daiyu has already arrived, and the day of the big wedding is set on June [-]th.This girl who made Baochai love, hate and envy her in her previous life is ahead of Baochai again in this life.
But Baochai in this life has no jealousy or resentment towards Daiyu.The more sincerely he gets along with Daiyu, the more Baochai realizes his sophistication in the previous life, which made him miss such a good friend.The last life has become dust, so in this life, Baochai will use her future life to make up for the regrets of the previous life.
When Daiyu received the screen of a hundred birds facing the phoenix embroidered by Baochai for her wedding, she was moved to tears. Unlike Baochai who changed people midway, she had always been friends with Baochai.Daiyu recognized Baochai as a lifelong friend from the moment she put on the peace talisman Baochai gave her.
She has a grand marriage, but her friend is still serving others in the deep palace. The kind-hearted Daiyu feels that she should do something for her friend. After all, Baochai is three years older than herself, and she is already considered an old girl.
Thanks to Baochai's performance over the years, and even more thanks to the lobbying of the new nephew and daughter-in-law, Concubine Shu asked for the present and pointed Baochai to a second-class guard.The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, not to mention the guards in the palace!The family is also a prominent family in Beijing, so they can put their children next to the emperor to pass the gold.
Baochai, who was sent out of the palace in advance, looked back at the red palace wall again.Finally left, no regrets, no unwillingness.Hundreds of maids are selected to enter the palace every year, but how many of them can leave the palace safely?Like myself, not only can she leave the palace ahead of time, but she can also marry into an official family. How many people are there who are upright ladies?
Satisfied, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that treating people with sincerity will not get less than calculating.
