Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

Jia Baoyu was fascinated, so naturally he couldn't hide such a big matter.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing waved around symbolically, expressing concern for their nephew and leaving some things for fun.Sister Feng, on the other hand, was busy hitting the back of her head because of the housekeeper and Baoyu's daily necessities.

Baoyu was ill, and Jia Cong, who was lazy while pretending to be sick, naturally "cured" and went to the academy with the Analects he had written as a punishment.After Jia Cong left, Mrs. Xing asked Chen Yu to ask Jia Cong carefully about the head and tail, to see if there were any omissions, in case Jia Mu found out that he had something to do with Baoyu's illness.

Chen Yu had already received Jia Cong's instructions, and she knew everything she wanted to say. After Mrs. Xing learned that the amber next to Jia's mother and the musk moon next to Jia Baoyu were both Jia Cong's people, she was silent for a while, thinking something.Later said: "Brother Cong grows up, so I don't worry, you don't have to come here in the future, just be careful and serve. After a while, you can find the second grandma by yourself, and start from next month, Luoyan, Guanyue, Shame, the four of you You don’t have to take the monthly money from me anymore, it only goes to Youzai Pavilion’s account.”

Chen Yu is safe, there is no doubt after hearing this, she just nodded her head in agreement, and after returning to Jia Cong in the evening, she went to report to Sister Feng.

Mrs. Xing thought a lot in her mind for a while, and she felt like the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead.I have been fighting with the old lady for so many years, but I have not dared to fight against the people around her, but it is my son who shares the same hardships, which is impressive.Brother Cong has done enough foreplay, so he also has to give a gift to Jiamu, is he a filial piety?Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, and when she came up with an idea, she waved her hand and asked Nanny Sun to listen to her, and confessed a few words.

Not long after, Aunt Zhao learned that Baoyu was ill.Rolling his eyes, he got up and went to look for Jia Zheng.

Aunt Zhao described Baoyu's fright and obsession when she bumped into something she didn't know.The meaning behind the words is that Jia Mu is old and not in good spirits, and she can't take care of the younger generation.It caused Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction with Jia's mother.

It's not that Jia Zheng didn't take what Mrs. Wang said when she deliberately dragged Jia's mother into the water, it's just that he didn't show it because of his filial piety.Now that the only son-in-law is against the evil, Jia Zheng was resented by Aunt Zhao's words.Aunt Zhao saw that it was almost done, and then said: "It stands to reason that I am just a slave, and I am not qualified to take care of Baoyu's affairs. But now that my wife is away, I have to worry about this family. Baoyu is the master's son, so naturally he is very noble. Now that we are in great trouble, we have to go and have a look, right?"

My son was sick, and my father went to condolences. This kind of thing is naturally impossible for the pedantic and sour Jia Zheng.In addition, Aunt Zhao's words were vague, she only said that Baoyu had hit an evil spirit, but she didn't say how serious it was.Baoyu has been unable to speak since she was a child, and she would be stupid from time to time, but Jia Zheng didn't think it was any different this time.He said: "Whatever generation he is, he is worth your visit! This evil person will cause some troubles every few days, what do you care about him!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao knew that the master was getting more and more dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu, and she was very happy.He just didn’t show it on the face, and said with a worried face, “After all, he is the master’s son, so you have to ask. I heard that Baoyu’s maid-in-law went to the old lady’s place today to pay her respects, why don’t you call her over to ask her? Ask, how?"

Jia Zheng was noncommittal, just nodded.

Let's talk about Ma Daopo, although she is Baoyu's sentinel godmother, but she has no affection at all.It's just that some wealthy family believe in gods and ghosts and entrust her to avoid disasters. How dare she really be a godmother.On weekdays, I just go to pay my respects from time to time, say something about gods and Buddhas, and get some incense money.

One day, suddenly the Jia family sent someone to invite her, saying they wanted to go there quickly. Ma Daopo was surprised, and hurriedly packed up her official outfits, and followed the Rongguo Mansion's chariots and horses.When I arrived at Jiamu's courtyard and saw Baoyu, I was taken aback. When I asked why, I said I was frightened.

If Ma Daopo talked about the Dharma, she might not have much of it. She is best at these pretentious and ghostly things.At first glance, it is definitely not scary, if it is really bumping into a brat, how can it be hidden from her eyes.It's just that the big family has a lot of gossip, so they didn't say anything.Seeing Ma Daopo's serious expression, Jia's mother asked, "Is there any Buddhist explanation?"

Ma Daopo drew a few pictures on Baoyu's face with her fingers, then muttered and recited it again, and said: "My brother has a long life, and he has attracted the jealousy of little ghosts, so he will inevitably feel a little narrow. Don't worry, the old Bodhisattva. My brother has a long life and a bright future. Just take care of him slowly and do more karma and good deeds for him. It is also said in the scriptures that there is a Bodhisattva of great light in the west who specializes in illuminating darkness and evil spirits. If there are those good men and good women who worship sincerely, they can bless their children and grandchildren in peace forever, and there will be no more disasters of panic and evil spirits hitting guests."

Jia's mother went to the doctor indiscriminately for her illness. Although she only believed half of Ma Daopo's words, she would rather believe what she had than what she hadn't.Satisfied, Ma Daopo got a lot of sesame oil money from Jiamu, went around the house again, greeted the masters, and then got up and left.

When she reached the second gate, a little girl suddenly stopped her and said, "Mother, go slowly."

Ma Daopo turned her head and said with a smile: "Isn't this the most useful girl around Grandma Zhao? Is there something wrong with the girl?"

The girl named Xiao Que smiled and said: "Our grandma has something to do with the godmother. If the godmother has time, please trouble you to go there."

Ma Daopo laughed and said, "What's the matter, let's go." When they came to Aunt Zhao's room, they met each other, and Aunt Zhao ordered the little girl to pour tea to eat with her.

After saying a few confessions for a while, Aunt Zhao asked, "I heard that Baoyu was ill. Our master was very worried and asked me to ask you. You know, his wife is not as good as before, and he will be indispensable in the future." I'll take care of it more."

Ma Daopo and Aunt Zhao had some contacts earlier, and after hearing what she said, they naturally understood the meaning.Quietly said: "The old lady said that she bumped into a little ghost, but how could she hide this from me. From my point of view, there is nothing unclean, but she was fascinated for a while, and slowly raising it, it will be alright."

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "You are confused, who is the old lady? She is the most old and knowledgeable. She said she hit a kid, so naturally it is."

When Ma Daopo heard about it, she smiled in her nose and said for a while, "You can be regarded as having survived now. If Baoyu is really ill, in the future, the family property of the political master will not all belong to Huan'er."

Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "Although I don't have much in my hands now, I have saved up a few pieces. Why don't you take it to make incense and candles as envoys?"After speaking, he got up and took out a tray from the box.

Ma Daopo looked at the white pile of silver, immediately smiled, fumbled for a long time from her bosom, and took out a talisman.Said: "This is a good thing. You write that person's birth date on it, and I will take it with you and practice it at home. Within three days, you will have it."

Let's not mention Erfang here, let's talk about Sister Feng.It's been a while since she married into Jia's family, but because of her young age, she never consummated the marriage with Jia Lian.These days Jia Cong is a little too popular, and Sister Feng is a little worried.Although he never said it, Jia Cong didn't understand.Thinking about it, this is human nature, how can I not have planned it myself.Jia Lian's biological mother has passed away, Mrs. Xing is the head wife, and Jia Cong is Mrs. Xing's favorite son.If Mrs. Xing wanted to fight for her son, Jia Lian would have no source in the future.

Jia Cong knew it in his heart, so he found time to mention it to Mrs. Xing.Seeing this, Mrs. Xing didn't say much, she just nodded in agreement. After discussing with Jia Amnesty, she chose a good day to make up for Jia Lian and his wife, and they consummated their marriage.

This is a happy event for my family, and there is another big happy event, Long live today's 55th birthday.On the Longevity Day, relatives of the emperor, relatives of the clan, in-laws, civil and military officials, and female relatives are all allowed to enter the palace to congratulate.Naturally, Jia Amnesty and Madam Xing also went, as well as Jia Zhen and You Shi from the East Mansion.Jia's mother was demoted because of her rank, she didn't look good, and she didn't want to see her old friends, so she only reported her illness.

During the banquet, Long Live suddenly issued an imperial decree, announcing a major event.The prince has both ability and political integrity, is intelligent and benevolent, and is an excellent prince.Today, two decrees have been issued in succession. One is that Zen is located in the crown prince, and he will choose a day to ascend the throne. The crown princess is a virtuous and virtuous concubine.I am the Supreme Emperor, and the prince's adoptive mother Xian Guifei is the Empress Dowager, who moved to Ci'an Palace.The other decree is a bit more interesting, to make the eldest prince the King of Zhongshun, and give him a residence in the Prince's Mansion.The first prince gave birth to his mother, Concubine Rong, who was conferred the title of Noble Concubine. Although his younger brothers, the third and fourth princes, were still young and had no heirs, they were not ennobled, but they were rewarded with six traveling errands.

For a moment, everyone was puzzled, what does this mean.On the one hand, the Zen position was given to the prince, and the adoptive mother was also named the queen mother.On the one hand, he promoted the lineage of the eldest prince. Isn't this telling the sons to fight in the ring?Although the emperor issued a decree, everyone could not immediately accept the decree.The courtiers tried to persuade him one after another, and the prince also expressed his fear with tears of gratitude, saying that he was still young and could not convince the public, and that his father was strong and healthy, and he was in his prime, so he asked his father to take back the imperial decree.

However, Long Live Lord made up his mind and waved his hand, which cannot be disputed.After the banquet was over, Jia Zhen lost her mind and hurried to the West Mansion to discuss with Jia Amnesty.The object of the discussion was none other than his daughter-in-law, Jia Rong's wife—Qin Shi!
