The True Winner of the Red Chamber

It was already past the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month when the two arrived in the capital, the emperor had already got the news, and specially lined up a team of people to guard the pier, and when the boat landed, they were picked up by the people in the palace.

Kang He and Zhen Yingjia had already discussed the countermeasures on the boat, and they also agreed on how to talk to the emperor. There was nothing more to say at the moment, but after saying take care, Kang He went back to the palace.

Zhen Yingjia watched his car disappear without a trace, and then came back to his senses as if suddenly enlightened, and said quietly: "Pack up your things, and we will go home too!"

When he got home, there was a lot of excitement. Mother Zhen and four children were waiting for him at the second gate.Zhen Baoyu couldn't stop saying, "I can go to the gate and wait!"

Mother Zhen held his hand firmly, "You stay with grandma!"

Zhiyin supported Mother Zhen, and said with a smile, "It's almost awkward, be careful that you cause grandma to fall."

Zhen Yingjia came in and saw such a scene, she couldn't help smiling, went up to see Mother Zhen and smiled at the children: "I brought you a lot of good things, and when Ji Chu arranges someone to clean them up, I will give them all to you." You send it!"

A few people went to Mother Zhen's big yard, sat and talked for a while, Mother Zhen chased them away, "Don't stay here with me, you two will follow your sister to learn sewing, Baoyu should study It's gone." Then he said to Zhen Yingjia: "You haven't been home for a few months all year long, you smell like earth, go back and wash up, have a good rest, come back at night and let's have a good talk."

Everyone dispersed one by one, and Zhen Yingjia went back to the study.

Hot water had already been prepared in the study, and Zhen Yingjia didn't get up until all ten of her fingertips were wrinkled.Putting on thick clothes, the house is equipped with a ground dragon brazier, the fatigue caused by a month of sailing, and the bit of coldness swept away, making people drowsy.

In a trance, Zhen Yingjia only felt that someone was coming in, but now his eyelids seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't open them at all, only two vague figures could be seen.

But this was in his own home, and it was also his study, so he was relieved that he didn't struggle to wake himself up.

Just a moment later, these two people pressed against his body, and a delicate female voice whispered in his ear, "Master~"

Zhen Yingjia was startled, and immediately woke up, only to see two young and beautiful maids, most of whose skirts had been unbuttoned, rubbing against his body.

Without thinking about it, he kicked it out immediately.

He was kicked on the ground recently, caught off guard and kicked to the point again, half lying on the ground panting, and didn't get up for a long time.

There was another one who was rubbing against Zhen Yingjia's back. Seeing this, he quickly knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to move, and he didn't even bother to fasten his open skirt.

"Who told you to come? How did you get in!" Zhen Yingjia said angrily, and then shouted again, "Ask Ji Chu to come here!"

After about a cup of tea, Ji Chu came.Her hair was still wet, and it was casually tied on her head. Although she had put on her clothes, the skirts were not aligned in the fuss.

He came in and saw two servant girls, one was lying on the ground crying, the other was kneeling on the ground crying, and immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty, "Master, please forgive me!" He turned to the two servant girls and said, "Who sent you here? You actually hurt me like this! The master's study is not for anyone to enter, don't you know! Don't pull me if you want to die!"

Zhen Yingjia looked at the two maids carefully, they didn't look familiar, and both of them were young and beautiful, with delicate bodies and soft bodies, it didn't seem like Zhen's mother or Zhiyin could pick them in, and no matter how you looked at them, they were The kind that caters to people.

No matter what the reason is, this kind of person can't stay by his side, he squinted his eyes and said: "I don't like these two maids, you bought them both."

The two servant girls who were just sobbing just now panicked, and the man kneeling on the ground hurriedly said: "Master, the two slaves were sent by the housekeeper, and it was the housekeeper who asked the two slaves to serve the master."

Zhen Yingjia glanced at Ji Chu subconsciously, and Ji Chu hurriedly said, "It's not me!"

It was only then that Zhen Yingjia remembered that the Zhen family still had a butler Meng, Meng Chang.Meng Chang was getting old, and Zhen Yingjia wanted to train Ji Chu, so he also promoted Ji Chu to be the housekeeper. However, Ji Chu spent most of his time serving him, and the place he could manage was mainly his study, and he just came back from Jinling with him. ...

So it's Meng Chang?

Zhen Yingjia narrowed her eyes, looked at Ji Chu and said, "You can play tricks..."

Although Ji Chu just came back from Jinling, he beat everyone in the study. Although they still listened to Zhen Yingjia's words, everyone would buy Ji Chu some face.If Ji Chu didn't want people to come in, even birds wouldn't be able to fly in.

Moreover, Ji Chu chose the bathing time very strangely. He has washed all the master's clothes, so there is no reason for the servants to be slower than him. Besides, Zhen Yingjia went to see Zhen's mother after she came back.

So although these two people were arranged by Meng Chang, Ji Chu also put some water in the middle to let these two people come in front of him, for what reason... Zhen Yingjia naturally understood.

However, there can only be one person in charge of the study room, and Ji Chu has always been in charge of it well. He can't find anything wrong with taking him out several times. Zhen Yingjia prefers him.

Ji Chu was startled by Zhen Yingjia's gloomy voice, and he said after a long while, "Master, I can't do anything about it. Butler Meng is deeply rooted, and I..."

Zhen Yingjia waved his hand, "My lord, I will help you today. Outsiders are not allowed in the study room. Fortunately, these two people only entered the bedroom and did not go to the front study room. You arrange people to move the two people in front of everyone." If someone hits the top [-] boards, just sell it."

The two servant girls were so frightened that they cried loudly, saying that it was the housekeeper's instructions, and begged the master to spare them this time.

Zhen Yingjia turned around and went into the inner room, and before leaving, she left a word to Ji Chu, "If it's like this again, you will be like them and sell yourself."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ji Chu immediately got up, kicked each of the two maidservants, and called someone to deal with the aftermath.

Zhen Yingjia didn't have to worry about the rest, he had a good night's sleep and went to the inner house at night.

Zhen's mother has four other children waiting for him. Zhen's mother is sitting in the middle, two young Zhiqi and Baoyu are sitting next to her, Zhilan is sitting next to Zhiqi, and the older one is next to her. Daughter Zhiyin, there is an empty space between Zhiyin and Baoyu, which is reserved for Zhen Yingjia.

The table was already full of dishes, and it was smelling fragrant, but just smelling it made people's index fingers twitch.Zhen Yingjia had been eating on the boat for a month, and after hearing this, she felt that she had to pay more attention to her appetite.

Seeing him come in, Baoyu said, "Father is here. I'm really sad to see that the dishes on this table can't be touched."

Zhen Yingjia was very funny when he heard the childish words, went up and rubbed his head, then sat down, looked around, and first said to Zhiyin: "When father is away, you help grandmother housekeeper, take care of younger siblings , thanks."

Zhiyin's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she choked up with sobs, "It's what a daughter should do."

Zhi Qi hurriedly said: "I listen to my sister very much."

Mother Zhen, who was sitting beside her, hastily pulled her and said, "Listen to your father."

Zhiqi didn't say a word, but Zhen Yingjia forgot what she said after being disturbed by her. He smiled and said, "Let's eat." Then he went to rub Baoyu's head, which felt good to the touch, "Looking at this Dishes on the table, I forgot everything I wanted to say.”

After everyone finished eating, the younger ones went back, Zhen Yingjia stayed in Mother Zhen's yard, and the mother and son began to talk.

Mother Zhen sighed, and said, "I've already heard about what happened in the afternoon, and I asked him to do it."

Zhen Yingjia ate a stomachful of delicious food and was still digesting food. Hearing Mother Zhen say this, it took her a while to realize that she was talking about the study in the afternoon.

"He's been a housekeeper for decades, and he's old, so don't embarrass him too much."

Zhen Yingjia said: "The study is very important, how can we let outsiders in, besides, I also saw those two girls, their behavior is frivolous, their eyes are twinkling, they must not be serious."

Mother Zhen frowned when she heard that, "I haven't seen him..." After a pause, she said tactfully, "Then Mrs. Li has been away for several years, should you marry another room? There is no one around you." Don't worry about taking care of me."

How can Zhen Yingjia marry a woman? He said in a deep voice: "Didn't you agree earlier? When Baoyu grows up, besides, Zhiyin will be good to help you with housekeeping."

"Why am I doing this? You can't do without anyone around you." Zhen's mother persuaded, "Even if the main room is empty, at least you have to have two concubines, right? No matter how poor you are, you have to have two concubines." See What else did Zhen Yingjia want to say, Mother Zhen said again: "Earlier you said that you wanted to care about the face of the Li family, but now you have also entered the Imperial Academy, and you are a bit higher than that kid of the Li family, and now you are going to do errands for your majesty. , you don’t need to consider this one.”

"Not yet three years."

"It will be three years after the Chinese New Year."

The two of them talked faster than each other, Zhen Yingjia couldn't help laughing, asking him to directly say that he likes men would be a big blow to Zhen's mother, if he agreed to Zhen's mother, let alone what he did to others, he would not be able to pass this test.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Yingjia decided to procrastinate and find something for Zhen's mother to do. Anyway, if he disagrees, it's over, and said: "Look again, I'm just a Hanlin now, and I'm not young anymore. There are four children in my family. Those worthy of my status may not want to marry their daughters in."

Mother Zhen said anxiously: "You're right, if you want to find the daughter of a small official..." Her eyes lit up suddenly, she didn't know what to think of, and said: "You just agree, and I will find it slowly."

It seemed that he didn't want to tell Zhen Yingjia any more. Zhen Yingjia got up and thought about the butler again, and said, "Butler Meng is old after all, why don't you arrange two people to follow him, firstly, he can support a successor, and secondly Let him rest well."

Mother Zhen still couldn't bear it, so Zhen Yingjia said again: "He is still the chief housekeeper."

Only then did Zhen's mother agree, and said: "I'll go and persuade him not to ask him to come to your study."

Zhen Yingjia left satisfied.

The next day the emperor called, and Zhen Yingjia entered the palace early in the morning. When the next court came, the emperor met him in the imperial study.As soon as Zhen Yingjia entered, she heard a reprimand, "Kang He is fooling around, and you fool around with him too!"
