The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Zhen Yingjia's voice became louder, and many people looked towards him, even if they didn't look at them, they pricked up their ears to listen to what they were saying.

He smiled calmly, knowing that this is not the place to say such things, so he said to Kang He: "Just now, I got a little anxious after drinking, and I feel a little bit overwhelmed, let's go outside for a walk."

Kang He nodded and accompanied Zhen Yingjia to go outside.

It was freezing cold, and Zhen Yingjia shivered as soon as she came out. She came to her senses completely, but when she turned her head, she saw two eunuchs following at a distance. Kang He frowned slightly and said, "You don't need to follow, go and brew When the tea came, the two of us walked around the door, it was freezing cold, and we might catch a cold if we went too far."

Zhen Yingjia nodded slightly, and added, "I want strong tea."

The two eunuchs just left.

Zhen Yingjia and Kang He walked unhurriedly in the corridor, and through the window frame, they could still see the intertwining of cups and cups in the hall, and could hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside, as well as endless laughter, as well as vague sightings, from time to time. The burden fell on him and Kang He.

"I've been wondering where the news about Kang Quan came from." Zhen Yingjia stared ahead, as if looking at the light spot of the moon falling on the pillar, the expression on her face was also faint, and it was impossible to tell that the two were talking such topics.

Kang He frowned slightly, "He was the first one to spread the news in the Prince's Mansion." Kang He paused, "Even if it's nonsense, it's inevitable that he must be skeptical. Where did the wind come from?" ?" He looked at Zhen Yingjia intently, "Second Uncle?"

Zhen Yingjia heard the suspicion in Kang He's tone. He was sure that Kang Quan had a close relationship with the second prince, but how did the news come about... Although there was an old servant in front of him, he was already dead. Was he murdered? He doesn't know whether to silence him or become a scapegoat, and it doesn't matter. What he has to do is to remind Kang He.

"The second prince's biological mother is a court lady. If you want to tell the secrets of the palace, even the master may not know as much as the court ladies and eunuchs." Zhen Yingjia said calmly: "Besides, the second prince is the only prince with military power in his hands. If you want to talk about him If you don’t have this heart, you won’t believe anyone.”

Kang He could hear the urgency in Zhen Yingjia's tone, and said, "I have never underestimated my second uncle, even though he has always shown himself as a boorish man. Besides, his biological mother is a palace lady, and life in this palace is the most difficult one. Why? Could it really be a boor?"

"The fourth uncle was reprimanded by the emperor's grandfather, and soon he fell silent. The power under him was taken over by the fifth uncle. Who would have thought that the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle were together?" Kang He sneered, "Because the second uncle took over Everyone is wooing him, and Kang Quan will not be the only one."

Zhen Yingjia nodded, and seeing the eunuch bring the teacup out of the corner of his eye, he tightened his cloak and said, "Let's go in, it's getting cold." He reached out to take the teacup from the eunuch, took a sip, and reminded softly : "Until the end...no one knows."

Kang He hummed, took another cup of tea, and the two walked into the warm room again.

After attending the Qianqing Palace banquet, Zhen Yingjia rested for several days and never even went out.

The first few days of Chinese New Year are for visiting relatives. The Zhen family has passed down several generations, and there are no relatives. The only diligent Li family is still in Jinling City. Second, Zhen Yingjia will take the exam this year, and studying quietly is the right way .

But just after the seventh day of the first lunar month, a message from the Jia family was received at the door, saying that the old lady of the Jia family was coming to visit.

When Zhen Yingjia came to pay her respects in the evening, Mother Zhen held the post and she was very unhappy, but she was still a little embarrassed.

"We are of the same seniority. If she invites me, I can easily refuse, but now that she is putting down such a low profile, it is difficult for me to refuse." Mother Zhen sighed, "I just came to the capital, and I haven't been here yet." If you gain a firm foothold, if the reputation of arrogance spreads, it may not be of any benefit to your official career."

Zhen Yingjia thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry too much. If they want to come, they can call, it's just a matter of a meal. I think it's better to let Zhiyin and her two younger sisters worry about it. You just need to rest. "

Mother Zhen nodded, with a smile on her face, "It's not bad for you to say that." Then she looked at her son who was becoming more and more sensible, and said with a smile: "You just study hard, the most I'll ask you to come out to say hello that day .”

In two days, it was the ninth day of the lunar new year. Jia's family took five carriages, and Haohao Tangtang came to Zhen's mansion.

Perhaps it was because they were afraid that the Zhen family would be unhappy, but Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't come to visit this time. The only male was Jia Baoyu, there were three other girls, and Lin Daiyu who had already lived in Jia's house.

Zhiyin and Zhilan supported Mother Zhen, one on the left and one on the right, and waited on the second door. Seeing Mother Jia coming in, Mother Zhen smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so strong."

Jia's mother smiled, "I'm old and old." As she spoke, she moved forward Jia Baoyu, who had been holding her hand all the time, and Jia Baoyu smiled and bowed, "Old lady."

Jia Baoyu's powder-carved jade wares looked very good, and when Mother Zhen saw the smile on his face, she said, "Come in quickly." While leading them forward, she said, "My little grandson It's been a bit cold for the past two days, so I didn't ask him to come out, so as not to catch the cold wind and cough again."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Your body is important."

Mother Zhen looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled again, "Zhiqi heard that you were coming, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep yesterday, she just woke up, and she's still washing up."

Lin Daiyu lowered her head halfway, and also called out to the old lady.

Everyone entered Zhenmu's room, Zhenmu asked Jiamu to sit down first, the servant girl came up with hot tea and snacks, Sanchun came up to salute Zhenmu, Zhenmu gave them jade pendants and hairpins, and said: "You The granddaughters are doing well."

Jia's mother said modestly: "It's not as good as yours." It's just that although the words are modest, the smile is very proud, "I heard that Baoyu in your family is one year younger than ours. Let me take a good look."

As soon as the words were finished, the maid at the door lifted the curtain, and Zhen Yingjia came in with Baoyu and Zhiqi.

Zhen Yingjia went up to Jiamu and cupped her hands, called the old lady, then sat down and lowered her head. The girls brought by Jiamu came up to greet her.

"Okay, let's go back to study." Mother Zhen smiled and said, "I will be able to take the test in two months, and it's nothing to do with you."

This was discussed with Zhen's mother yesterday, Zhen Yingjia smiled lightly, got up and left, and from the corner of the eye I saw Jia's mother's smile seemed a little embarrassed.

After leaving the door, Zhen Yingjia heard Jiamu's envious question, "I'll try... He hasn't studied for a few years, so are you sure?"

The smile on Mother Zhen's face faded a little, and she said, "You have to do your best, don't you?"

Jia Mu heard the displeasure in Zhen Mu's tone, and hurriedly smiled and said, "That's right, my second son is also studying hard, just waiting for—" Jia Mu paused. Waiting for the general examination, Jia Zhengyao started the exam from the Tongsheng Examination, and he was very speechless.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "It's always good to read more sage books."

Mother Zhen didn't expose her, she just took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "Why do you look thinner than before on the boat?"

"It's a bit unacceptable." Jia Mu smiled, "It will be fine after this spring." She looked at the two precious jades again and said, "They both have the same name and the same birthday, so we have to get along well in the future." .”

Mother Zhen felt a little unhappy, but remembered that her son said that when this name was mentioned in the future, everyone would only think of Zhen Baoyu, so she was relieved a little, but she couldn't help but said: "Although there is a year difference, the two look about the same level."

Jia Mu looked over with a smile, Jia Baoyu had a crown on her head, Zhen Baoyu was dressed in an ordinary way, but looked a little shorter than Jia Baoyu, she changed the subject with a smile, and said: "Is this house a reward from His Majesty? If it weren't for the freezing weather, I would really like to take a good tour."

She wanted to use this topic to make an appointment for her next visit. After all, Mother Zhen has also been an old lady for these years. She is very clear about Mother Jia's thoughts, and smiled and said, "It's all His Majesty's grace." He never said anything about asking them to come again.

Jia's mother was a little embarrassed. Although she hadn't gone out for many years, she was the first-class wife of the state. Zhen's mother... Zhen Yingjia didn't have anything on her body. She just relied on the dead Zhen's father to force her With a command, he treats people so rudely.

It's just because of Zhen Yingjia's favor!

Grace!Mother Jia remembered Jia Yuanchun who had already gone to the fourth prince's backyard to be a side concubine, gritted her teeth, seemed not aware of the negligence of the Zhen family, smiled and said to the girls: "We two old people have a good talk, you go play on your own." That's right."

Mother Zhen also nodded, Zhiyin led the girls down, Zhiqi took Lin Daiyu's hand, and said, "Go to my room and talk."

Mother Jia saw it and said with a smile, "Your little granddaughter is very lively."

"They were all spoiled by her father."

After a few girls went down, Mother Jia took Mother Zhen to recall the past relationship between the two families. Mother Zhen had made up her mind long ago, and she was sad together with her. It was very tight, no matter what Jiamu said about supporting each other, she didn't say a word.

Although Jia's mother was unwilling, she thought that it was her first time here, and it was such an important event, so it was better to take it slowly, so she relaxed, and only praised the girls of Zhen's family for their well-bredness, and said that this house is bigger than Rongguo's mansion , and then said a few words of wishing Zhen Yingjia high school, and seeing that Zhen's mother really smiled a little more.

After eating at noon and sitting down for a while, Mother Jia said goodbye and left. She went out of the gate of Zhen's Mansion, looked back at the plaque written with gold powder on the gate of Zhen's Mansion, and said in her heart: No matter how tight-lipped, what can I do?The Zhen family moved to a new house after being in the capital for so long, the first and only one to come was the Jia family!

Even if someone said that they were brought together by force, or that they didn't know how to flatter them, it would be true only if the relationship was established!
