The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

"Mother, please get up quickly." Under the gesture of nobleman Qin, she hugged the piano and helped Xiao Wang who was kneeling, her eyes were full of worry, and she asked impatiently without waiting for Xiao Wang to complain, "What happened at home?"

Mrs. Wang was startled, unexpectedly, her mother had already expected something to happen at home, so she couldn't help covering her face and weeping, embellishing the matter and saying: "...what kind of messed-up relatives dare to shake my son's face, this is not taking the nobleman seriously. Ah! Gentleman, Baoyu is the younger brother of the nobleman, he was born with great fortune, and the future of our Jia family depends on him! The girl of the Lin family looks down on Baoyu, doesn't she look down on our Jia family and the nobleman?"

"I heard that Princess Huairou was frightened, isn't it?" Qin Guiren was impatient with her avoiding the important and light, and asked, "What happened to the princess? Is the fetus in the womb stable?"

Xiao Wang's lips trembled. Could it be that a nobleman who is so favored by the emperor can't compare to a princess who married early?She said nervously, "I... I... I was too anxious at the time, and I didn't hear the follow-up."

"Then what happened afterwards? Ma'am, didn't you send someone to Rong Mansion for condolences?" Guiren Qin said angrily, "Mother handed over the sign three days ago, and you still don't know about the princess' condition today?"

Xiao Wang said aggrievedly: "My lord, Baoyu's psychic Baoyu fell like this. I am worried that something will happen to Baoyu. Besides, Baoyu's copying is so hard. I care about Baoyu's body. How can I have the energy to ask how the princess is doing?" She boldly said again: "Why should the nobleman care about her? Although the princess is the emperor's own daughter, she has already been married. The nobleman is deeply favored by the emperor, so are you still afraid of her? Besides, I am the princess's elder anyway, but it's a big deal to be frightened." I'll ask Baoyu to make amends to her!"

They all say that they are favored by the emperor, but the status of a nobleman is so low, nobleman Qin knows that if she has no children, she will be like this in her life. pulse.Seeing her stepmother without self-knowledge, Qin Gui was bitter, she rubbed her chest, and said in a trembling voice: "How about it, okay, the emperor said to come to me, but in a blink of an eye, he was intercepted by the new beauty in the palace. Everyone said that I was going to fall out of favor. I thought about it. Since I claimed to be in the palace, I have always been careful and careful at every step. I didn’t do anything to offend the emperor. When my wife handed me the sign, I guessed that there might be someone in the family. I asked the Empress to let me see my wife sooner."

Master Qin fell out of favor? !Xiao Wang was shocked, how could it be?

"——Since it was Baoyu who did something wrong, my wife should take Baoyu to apologize early, sincerely apologize to the princess, and come into the palace to see what I am doing! My wife should remember that I am walking on thin ice in the palace, and I don't ask anyone at home to be there. The imperial court supports me, and I just hope that no trouble will be caused and hinder me!" The nobleman Qin changed the subject and said without question.

Isn't this retarded person just talking about Baoyu?Xiao Wang's face was green and white, and she changed the subject forcefully: "The faces of the new beauties in the palace are like flowers, so tender that they can pinch water. How can a nobleman compare to her in this? It's just a matter of sex. , it won't last long, the nobleman should think about himself earlier!" He glanced at Baoqin suggestively.

This incomprehensible idiot!

Guiren Qin felt powerless, so he could only say to the left and right: "You all go down."

"Yes!" Baoqin and another honest-looking court lady retreated. Before leaving, Baoqin glanced at Xiao Wang with a complicated expression, and there was an unknown expectation in her eyes that maybe even she didn't realize.

Guiren Qin's eyes darkened, this servant girl has a big heart.

Xiao Wang didn't know why, so she watched Guiren Qin come down in person, took her hand and said affectionately: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others. I always thought that when I was at home, my mother treated me very well. Our mother and son are very close." Yes. The mother is a rare sober person in the family, and there are some things that the daughter does not know whether to say or not."

The nobleman showed his favor, Xiao Wang nodded again and again, and said lovingly: "After the nobleman enters the palace, my heart is empty. I only wish that the nobleman is still at home. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it. Between mother and daughter, What can't be said?"

The nobleman Qin casually played with his long and luxurious nails, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and slowly recalled: "I used to stay in the former queen's palace for several years, and I stayed in this palace for more than ten years. Look, the emperor's favorite is either a concubine who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum and quiet and uncontested, or a beautiful woman who is charming and lively, laughing and cursing, or a natural beauty, slender, or passionate, or charming, or cold. ... I don't really like a talented woman who is as round and smooth as me, who is small and gentle."

"It might be new at first. The emperor spoiled me for a few days, but he soon got tired of it. But the emperor still comes to me from time to time, listens to me play the piano, and talks to me. Most of them stay at night, but... very few are lucky. Me." Speaking of this, it has already involved the private affairs of the emperor and concubines, noble Qin's face was embarrassed, and he only said this sentence without emphasizing it.

"In spite of this, on the second day, rewards like flowing water were sent to my palace, so everyone in the palace thought that I was very favored by the emperor. Later, many people imitated me, but none of them lasted long. Everyone only said that I was the first One, the emperor is very special to me."

Xiao Wang said happily: "Your Majesty is really nostalgic. This is very beneficial to the nobleman. Why is the nobleman not very happy?"

"The emperor likes the new and dislikes the old very much." Guiren Qin shook his head, "Let me ask you, since the emperor loves me, why didn't he promote me to the position? Why didn't my father and brother have a successful official career? If the elder brother and Baoyu have not yet entered the official position, they can resume Isn't father's official position a trivial matter? I tried to mention it, but the emperor didn't answer, and he didn't intend to restore father's official position. Even elder brother and Baoyu, the emperor never mentioned it, only occasionally when I mentioned it Praise. But Huimei was originally the daughter of a small local official, and she just showed off that her father was going to be an official in Beijing yesterday. But most of the time, the emperor only asked me about my uncle and my cousin..."

"That's because the nobleman has not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter!" Xiao Wang was anxious, "Your nobleman, Baoqin is easy to give birth to, and her family's deed of prostitution is with me, so you can use her at ease..."

Guiren Qin interrupted her, and said to herself: "Later, I thought about it carefully. Every time I get a big reward, it's always because of my cousin's meritorious service; every time someone shames me, it's always because of Baoyu." What did you do again? I think again, without status, without children, without the emperor's sincere love, I, a nobleman, am just a tool for the emperor to show his favor to the Rongfu."

The nobleman Qin smiled sadly, and Xiao Wang cried: "Your nobleman, don't underestimate yourself, the emperor treats the nobleman, the emperor treats you..." Like a person who drinks water, he knows how the emperor treats the nobleman, and the nobleman knows best.Xiao Wang immediately hugged her and cried bitterly: "My poor daughter..."

A trace of sarcasm flashed across the nobleman Qin's face, "Since my honor and disgrace belong to the Rong Mansion, then of course the Jia Mansion's honor and disgrace also belong to the Rong Mansion. I am a nobleman only because the Rong Mansion has no daughters of the right age. Madam and Baoyu really angered the people of the Rong Mansion, they can hold up a qin nobleman, but also a side branch woman surnamed Jia. I say that, Madam, do you understand?"

"There's a qin nobleman in Jia's mansion, it's not the capital for my wife to show off in Rongfu!"

Xiao Wang's back was dripping with cold sweat.

Since the noble Qin in the palace has been favored more and more, she has indeed become straighter and straighter in front of her sister-in-law and others, and she has more confidence.This time about Baoyu's matter, she also insisted not to plead guilty because of a little contempt for the princess in her heart.

Xiao Wang was very angry in her heart, but her form was stronger than others, she was also a decisive person, and said immediately: "After I leave the palace, I will take Baoyu to make amends to the princess!"

Only then did Mr. Qin show a comfortable smile.She stroked her lower abdomen and murmured: "The emperor will still be with me occasionally... I can still have children, and I will always conceive."

When Mrs. Wang was about to resign, Mr. Qin looked at Baoqin who was standing by, and chatted with Mrs. Wang: "Baoqin, you followed me into the palace. How long have you been in the palace?"

Baoqin bowed his knees and said, "It has been 14 years since I returned to the nobleman."

"How old were you when you entered the palace? How many years have you stayed in the palace?" Guiren Qin asked with a smile, pinching her shoulders.

Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled: "Your nobleman only asked your servant once a year ago, and now you forgot? It can be seen that the nobleman said that he has a good memory to coax us. The servant was 13 years old when he entered the palace. The Liushui Pavilion of the nobleman has been serving the nobleman for two years. It can't be compared to the deep friendship between Sister Baoqin and the nobleman."

"Fifteen, you're not too old. Take good care of yourself, and you will have a bright future in the future." Guiren Qin smiled, and then said to Xiao Wang, "It's been 14 years since I entered the palace, time flies so fast. Mother I can still enter the palace to see me once a month, but Baoqin has to be separated from her family. In my heart, I can't bear it. I heard from the empress that a group of maids will be released from the palace in April. I'm young, and I want to take this opportunity to let her go out to reunite with her parents, what does mother think?"

"Amitabha," Xiao Wang said with emotion, "Your Majesty is really kind! If that's the case, after I go back, I will tell the family who is holding the piano, she must be very happy!"

When Baoqin knelt down to thank you, the nobleman Qin said with a smile: "Baoqin serves me, and the dowry is indispensable. And her family members are also meritorious officials. How can they let people work? Mother is a good student to arrange for them. .”

That is to put Baoqin and his family in the village, Xiao Wang thought, the nobleman has a hard time in the palace, and Baoqin has been serving him for more than ten years, so he must know a lot about Xin Mi, so she can't be allowed to cause trouble for the nobleman.

So Baoqin went out of the palace in April, with two boxes of bodhisattvas and two boxes of dowry rewarded by the noble Qin.The whole family went to work in the Zhuangzi, and Baoqin's family hated her for offending the master, so they were kicked out of the palace and confiscated all her valuables, but Baoqin had no dowry money, and was old, and finally married a widow in the Zhuangzi And the steward of three sons and daughters.

After Xiao Wang entered the palace, Jia Zheng also went out.

Although he was deprived of his official position, Jia Zheng also looked down upon him as a mere fifth-rank official, but after a period of embarrassment, he gradually let go.It happened that he had a few literary friends outside, chatting in teahouses and bookstores almost every day, and Jia Zheng became more and more complacent.There is nothing to do today, so Jia Zheng invited some friends to go to Moxianglou to see paintings.
