The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

Huaner out of the house

"Madam, that kid is cunning. The master was so angry that he fell ill on the bed. The old lady was protecting Baoyu, but he pointed out that he was biased. He told him to hook up with some old people in the clan, and he took the clan of Lao Shizi every day. Gui Zuo relies on finding troubles to find faults..." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were red from crying in front of Yuan Chun, and she peeked at Concubine Yuan's expression while crying.

Jia Yuanchun felt sorry for the old lady and Baoyu, and also knew that she was a bit of a leftist lady, so she didn't dare to believe her words, not to mention the bosses, it was Jia Huan who made the master angry and ill, and Yuanchun took it to heart Just don’t believe it. As far as she knows, her master’s obsession with studying in the imperial examinations has become a bit crazy. Otherwise, the elder brother Jia Zhuying’s early death is not because he was forced too hard. No matter how much the master doesn't like this son, he will take his side. In her opinion, Jia Huan will not be so stupid as to overthrow her backer.

However, remembering the words that Zhou Guiren, no, that bitch Zhou Guipin patted her belly in front of her and flaunted her power a few days ago, she gritted her teeth at Jia Huan, a useless person.

That day when she happened to meet the emperor with the little prince in her arms, the emperor praised Jia Huan for her sake, and Zhou Guipin listened to it. Everyone knew that the Zhou family only had a dude who was so muddy that he couldn't get on the wall. Speaking of being a Jinshi, it means that if you can read a book smoothly, you will be blessed by your ancestors!But that bitch flattered the emperor for some reason, and the emperor actually found a fifth-rank idle job for that bitch's younger brother in a blink of an eye, but she just wanted to please the emperor and mentioned Jia Huan, who was the number one in the family, and was rejected by the emperor. If it wasn't for the fact that the little prince happened to be ill, it would be more than just a few words of reprimand, even these few words would spread like flying across the whole city in less than half an hour. In the harem, concubine Yuan Gui of her majestic Fengzao Palace was humiliated!

Concubine Yuan rubbed the center of her brows, and said anxiously: "Why did you use this incense today! I really indulge you slaves too much! Those who are on duty today, go out and slap your mouth for twenty!"

The maid on duty outside the main hall and the two little maids still had finger marks on their faces that didn't fade away. Hearing this, they knelt down and their eyes were red with fright, but they didn't dare to beg for mercy. The more they begged, the harder the empress beat At that moment, the youngest girl had already shed tears while protecting her face.

"What's the matter?" Baoqin heard the movement, came out from the side hall and whispered to the eunuch who was guarding the door.

That little Huangmen has been with Concubine Yuan for several years, and she can be regarded as the No. [-] confidant. She is the manager of Fengzao Palace, and she is also a tricky master on weekdays. The temper is getting more and more irritable, and the thrushes will slap their mouths before the marks on their faces disappear. If this continues, how can we find a perfect person in Fengzao Palace? Auntie Baoqin, look, we Your Majesty...do you want to invite the imperial physician to give you a pulse for peace?" As he spoke, he pouted at the faces of the kneeling maids.

Seeing them holding the zither, those court ladies kowtowed desperately, begging silently, and looked pitiful.

Baoqin frowned, and signaled Xiao Huangmen who came up to execute the execution to wait, that Xiaohuangmen was also clever, and stood quietly by the side with his hands folded, waiting for Baoqin to talk to the manager.

"Xia An, don't make up your own mind," Baoqin lowered his voice, "You still don't know about our empress' taboos? If you call the imperial doctor here without thinking, I'm afraid you and I won't even try to please him! From my point of view, the empress is also a little anxious because of worrying and worrying. When the little prince is established after a while, the empress will be fine. Let's just serve you with all your heart and don't ask others to take advantage of the loopholes. It's gone." There is another sentence that everyone knows by heart, but Baoqin didn't say: If the empress is as gentle, luxurious, resourceful and resourceful as before, I'm afraid I have to wait until the emperor steps into this Fengzao palace.

But the emperor came here only once in a few months, and even reprimanded him for such serious words and left in a huff. If the empress wants to regain her favor, how easy is it?

He waved his hand to call Xiaohuangmen and the ladies in the palace to avoid it from a distance, held the piano to straighten his face, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and quietly pressed a pill under his tongue before going in: "Your Majesty?"

Concubine Yuan leaned on the light yellow soft pillow, frowned and said: "This screwdriver slave is getting more and more outrageous! Holding the piano, it's still Su Xiang, don't light it!"

Mrs. Wang diligently stepped forward to wipe Concubine Yuan's sweat, while staring at Baoqin suspiciously: "Your Majesty, why are you sweating so much? You slaves, what should you do if you don't serve well!"

The corner of Baoqin's mouth twitched, I have never seen such an unruly wife, she is a servant, she is also in the palace, the emperor's servant!Even the queen's mother, Mrs. Yue Guo, didn't dare to say a word, but she asked the second wife to speak out, and even looked at her Baoqin as the son of the Rongguo Mansion?

It is true that Madam Wang might not dare to say that to an ordinary little palace maid, Xiao Huangmen. She always felt that she was a decent master when she was only in front of Baoqin, but unexpectedly, this attitude offended Baoqin the most.

Holding the qin, she bent her lips and said with a smile: "madam, drink tea. Don't worry, madam, the maidservant was brought by the empress from the Duke's mansion. As long as the empress is well, the slaveservant will die. I dare not be dissatisfied. Empress, then Su Xiang, but you want to get in now?"

Concubine Yuan frowned and nodded, "Come on, only Su Xiang is of some use, those bitter juices sent by the imperial hospital... Hmph, when I get well, it will be nice to call these dog slaves!"

Mrs. Wang saw that Baoqin's attitude was still as humble as when she was at home, and she felt more and more eager to show off her prestige in this resplendent Fengzao Palace. She said displeasedly: "Didn't your mother order you to slap your mouth? Why is there still no movement?"

Hugging Qin Fu, she was full of sincerity and fear: "Madam can only come here once in a month, how can I let those dirty ears, the servant specially ordered the little yellow gate to be pulled to a remote place in the back hall..."

Only then was Madam Wang satisfied, and she sniffed lightly, "What kind of fragrance is this?

She whispered so many words in her ear, Concubine Yuan was already depressed and impatient, but this time she heard that she fell in love with that incense, and the anger accumulated over the past few months was even more angry, so she said unceremoniously: "This time It is also named Su Xiang, it is a secret spice made in the palace, the Empress Dowager liked this incense the most when she was here, this incense is inconvenient for the wife, hold the qin, and reward the wife with the Southern Rhinoceros incense brought in as a tribute."

Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back. When Yuan Chun was alone, she always treated her with parental courtesy, but now she said "reward" blatantly.

Baoqin heard the words, as if nothing happened, went out and told Xiaohuangmen to send the rewards to Rongguo Mansion for a while, and it is not allowed to give the second wife directly, that is a big mistake against the palace rules.

"Baoqin, why is the smell so weak? Put two more in!" Concubine Yuan said angrily.

Baoqin turned his face but felt aggrieved and said: "Mother, we don't have many Su incense here, the new incense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet presented..."

Hearing this, Concubine Yuan was furious: "Is Wu Liangcai dead? Concubine Wu Gui has already been imprisoned. If he hadn't relied on Uncle Wang, he would still be able to stay in the fat position of minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Hmph, order someone to pass on a message to him, if he I don’t want to be on this job, some people are willing, and my palace’s things dare to be short, so why not go to him instead?”

Xia An, the chief manager of Fengzao Palace under the window, heard this and sighed silently. The empress never said such arrogance to seek death before. Since the birth of the little highness, the empress seems to have changed into a different person. He became more and more irritable, and his resourcefulness was nowhere near what it used to be—the eunuch touched his neck, and it seemed that it was time to find another way out, he was not willing to follow a hysterical lady with such a good head lost his life.

However, he only felt that Su Xiang was weird. Except for the deceased empress dowager, he had never heard of that nobleman using it in this palace. He wouldn't be suspicious of it when the empress was favored before, but the empress dowager It was obvious that he was no longer welcomed by the emperor, and even the birth of a little prince failed to win back the emperor's heart. How could this place in the palace, which is undervalued and exalted, go to such great lengths for a concubine who fell out of favor? Giving Su Xiang back to her the hard-to-find?If this is Su Xiang's problem, then Aunt Baoqin who never let others handle her... Xia An only felt a chill seep up from the soles of her feet, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to think about it.

Baoqin went forward and put three or four pieces of Huansu incense in the ancient blue and white milk foot stove, carefully closed the door and window, and then carefully exited.The faint fragrance in the hall became stronger several times in an instant, Yuan Chun took a deep breath enjoying it, and all the restlessness and boredom disappeared.

Seeing her like that, Mrs. Wang felt that something was wrong, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this scent seems a bit special. I seem to have used it for a long time, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Yuan opened her eyes, and said with a smile: "I know what Madam is thinking, this fragrance is definitely not a problem. The Empress Dowager loves this fragrance the most. I have used it for five or six years. I have smelled it before. Please rest assured that the imperial doctor will come. I've seen it. Alright, let's not talk about this, time is limited, what does Mrs. Huan plan about the matter?"

Speaking of Jia Huan, Mrs. Wang looked at Concubine Yuan's expression, and said hesitantly: "After all, he is the younger brother of the empress, and now he is promising again. He only listens to the order of the empress...?"

Concubine Yuan smiled: "What brother, I only have one brother, Baoyu, and my wife doesn't need to say anything about his future. He is a Jinshi, and he can't even compare with the boy who can't stand in the Zhou family..." He also called Bengong to accept Zhou Gui's concubine Some ridicule!

"Forget it, I thought it was wrong. Since he refuses to obey discipline, I will simply separate him out. I want to see how he can stand alone without the big tree of the Duke's Mansion!" Yuan Concubine laughed. Said, "Uncle is going back to Beijing to report on his duties, my wife has to be prepared, this time, uncle, I'm afraid he will join the cabinet!"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard the news that Wang Ziteng was going to be promoted to the cabinet, and she hurriedly asked, "When? Oh, I knew... Oh!"

Concubine Yuan also had a happy expression on her face, it was because she received the letter from Wang Ziteng that she wanted to return to Beijing for a promotion, she was so quick that she dared to let go of Jia Huan as a spare - she had a high-ranking uncle and a maidservant who was eccentric What are you doing to give birth to a child!

"Soon, it's just a matter of one or two months. Uncle is proud this time, and my wife doesn't have to worry about the mansion not being able to hold down the big house." The Duke's Mansion is her root for Jia Yuanchun, and she will never allow her to be separated. The big house in the belly has to go, and it can only be inherited by Baoyu!

Speaking of the big house, Mrs. Wang's mouth turned sour: "Young girl Feng is very lucky. She is pregnant. What does the old lady hold in her arms? It is more expensive than your brother's child."

The wife has messed up again, Feng girl is pregnant with the son of the big house, Baoyu is just the son of the concubine.Yuan Chun didn't say anything, but only told: "Madam Feng is also a girl of the Wang family. When my uncle comes back from Gaosheng, my wife should not think too much about it. Only after she is favored can I get closer to my uncle."

Mrs. Wang was embarrassed, she really looked at Feng girl's stomach, and forgot that she was also a girl from the Wang family. Compared with her old aunt who had been married for decades, Feng Ge'er, an aunt, was closer to the Wang family.

"As for Mrs. Huan, my wife just needs to learn what Bengong said to the old lady. Of course she has rules there, and Baoyu will not be wronged." Yuan Chun glanced at Mrs. Wang and said doubtfully: "You don't have to hide from Madam. Tucked away, I haven't been here for a long time, but I still can't figure out why this ring boy won the first place?" Your methods are all fake?Call a cheap leather child to gain momentum.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said: "Why don't I think so, but somehow this kid's luck is weird, and what he made earlier for no reason is useless, and if he makes any more gems later, he will be in trouble. I was so terrified that when I found a substitute for Baoyu and provided the everlasting lamp, that kid would be so slippery that he would be with the posthumous son of that historian all day long, and I couldn't hold it. It's fate, I'm afraid it will delay your brother's fortune... Ai... I don't want to! The original calculation is true, this boy Huan belonged to Ke Baoyu!"

"The posthumous son of the historian? The grandnephew of the old lady whom the empress dowager saw first?"

"Isn't it just that sycophant named Shi Mo who sings with Huan boy and is full of bad things?" Mrs. Wang said dissatisfiedly, "I just hate that I have no reputation to punish him!"

Yuan Chun thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Why is there no reputation? It's a good thing to kill three birds with one stone!"

Mrs. Wang was surprised and delighted.

Concubine Yuan said: "Didn't uncle and aunt make trouble for Wang Ren's cousin's marriage? If my wife solves this problem, uncle and aunt will not be happy? This is one thing; Shi Mo, a man, you can't do anything about it, but Didn't he have the name of Xiangyun, the elder sister of his compatriots? I heard that he has troubled his wife. Isn't her family's dowry just right for cousin Ren? This is the second; besides, since the old lady's generation Son, the historian married someone from outside. With this Shi Xiangyun, I was afraid that the historian would not help me, and I was afraid that I would not be able to restrain a mere Shi Mo, and this Shi Mo had a good relationship with Uncle Lin's family. Our uncle and cousin Lin, who is the blood of our aunt, have held Shi Mo under control, so we may not be able to find some excuses, whether the Lin family likes it or not, we have to step on our boat!"

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands and chanted "Amitabha Buddha" repeatedly, and went happily.

Concubine Yuan was also pleasantly surprised by her flexible and sober mind, she was more and more inseparable from the incense of returning Su, and asked to hold the piano and put in two or three pieces.

Baoqin's smiling Concubine Yuan would do whatever she said, and the eunuch in charge of Fengzao Palace felt her bone-chilling cold when she saw that he was suspicious. Benefits of Suxiang: Before the Empress Dowager passed away, she was troubled by the things in her head every day, unable to eat or sleep, and in great pain. Thanks to this special Suxiang, the pain was relieved.It's a pity that this has thousands of benefits for Su Xiang, only one is bad:

——If you use it, you can’t leave it, and if you can’t leave it, you will walk half a step towards Huangquan Road. When you use the incense, the fairy music that lingers in your ears turns out to be the five watch clock in the Palace of the King of Hell, or else it was originally the queen mother’s more than ten years old. Why did the life expectancy go to five or six years?Alas, the Empress Dowager was afraid of the illness at that time, and knew the consequences of the fragrance, but our imperial concubine did not know it.Xia An, do you want to tell your mother to go? This is a great contribution...

********

Jia's mother had been calculating all her life, how could concubine Yuan think of it, she just didn't want to part with Jia Huan, a useful pawn.Now that Wang Ziteng is coming back, she should break it off.

And she has already made up her mind, not only can she marry Xiangyun to Wang Ren as her successor; she can also choose one of Tanchun and Xichun to ration Shi Mo, and she has to think about which one is more useful, Xichun I don't know much about the world, and I'm afraid she won't be useful. Tanchun is somewhat useful, but she crawled out of the same bowel with Boy Huan; even Jia Huan, she also found a marriage for him, isn't it? The others are Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Xiuyan. The Xing family has a small family and a poor family. It's not surprising that Huan boy will pass Baoyu in the future.

If Shi Mo and Jia Huan hear that Jia Mu's plan is just a leisurely joke, they are no longer what they used to be, can they still be rounded up and flattened by others?

The list of rotten heart pills was sent to the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai made a move like a thunderbolt. Together with Uncle Yuan, they activated the dark pen that had been carefully laid before—in just ten days, Jia Shi Wang Xue's ancestral property in Jinling was wiped out for seven days. Seven or eight.

Their shops and villages have long been deceived and run by self-pocketed minions all these years ago. Yuan Che and Lin Ruhai immediately turned yellow as soon as they made a move. Got up and sold the fields and shops, and ran away with the money; the four big clans in Jinling were only staring at the bustling capital and fighting for power and profit, which made the branches in Jinling complain. Those fertile and huge sacrificial fields, it is said that Jiamu is a good person, and it is good to divide the sacrificial fields into several branches to take care of them separately. How can the public clan fields have the money in their own pockets? Everyone thinks so, ignoring the family rules and laws, and secretly selling off the family land in charge of his branch, and how much benefit he has given to the chief historian of Jinling in the middle, so I won't go into details. The members of the four major surnames who have the idea of ​​other branches, don't know that Lao Dier has already been copied by others.

Of course, at this moment, there are always a few 'knowledgeable' elders and so on. Lin Ruhai and Yuan Che are not polite, and after some teasing, those people will never be able to speak...

Shi Mo also flattered his little uncle: "Uncle goes out to beat two of them, which cuts off the root of the four families' future. It's wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

*******

There was no further trouble, Jia Huan just left the house peacefully, and since then he has established his own family.

The mansion that Jia Huan bought early next to Uncle Yuan's house finally came into use.Lifting Shi Xiaomo, he moved in in a fair and just manner.

On this day, it was the first day of the new year, Jia Huan came back home in fresh clothes and angry horse to say hello, followed by eight servants and four older attendants to take care of trivial matters.

"Say hello to the old lady, madam."

Jia Huan is wearing a long black dress, the dark lines embroidered with black and gold thread are very luxurious while walking, the neatly combed hair is wearing a gentleman's crown of suet and white jade, emeralds on the feet of the robe, Jia Huan's body is not decorated much , but only these two pieces set off his tall and graceful figure even more.

As they walked, many girls from Huaichun stared straight at them.

You know, when Jia Huan separated the family, he invited the patriarch and the officials of the household department to testify. , It's disgusting.Perhaps because of sympathy for Jia Huan, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs made great efforts to write clearly one by one, which cut off the source of future entanglement.

I thought that Mr. Huan, who was down and out, went out of the mansion, but who knew that he would be so rich in a sudden transformation, but the eyes of the people who saw the joke dropped all over the place - everyone said that Jia Huan was not a showman, but he was a successful man. Calculated.

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Huan's nobility, and her heart was overwhelmed. She hated and regretted it. She wanted to use the name of her aunt to occupy her, but she didn't want Jia Huan to show any face to him. Without saying a word, the son turned around and invited the eldest princess to go.

This eldest princess is none other than the old lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Ting's biological grandmother, and the third eldest princess who is the only elder sister of the Holy One today.The eldest princess loves the little grandson Zhang Min the most, and when Zhang's father and son went to work in Beijing, she also returned to the capital. She did not live in the luxurious princess mansion that was built for her today, but still lived in the Zhang family's mansion in the capital.The eldest princess is kind and kind by nature, and has always treated the younger generation very well.

No, about Jia Huan's matter, Zhang Xing talked to her beforehand, because Jia Huan and Zhang Xing had a good relationship, Zhang Xing helped a lot when he first came here, the eldest princess looked down on the Jia family's affairs, A few days after Mrs. Wang came up with this idea, she was slapped in the face by the nanny sent by the eldest princess. This is not the rumors that have spread from my mouth to your ears. No matter how powerful the spread is, no one will say it Well, the eldest princess' reprimand was clear, and Mrs. Wang's sign of being unkind was set up in public.The implication of Rongguo Mansion's immorality is also in people's hearts.

What a joy to hear and see.

Since then, there was no place for Jia Wang's family to stand in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Even if Jia's mother gave up her old face, she could only attend the banquet held by people of her age. The Rongguo Mansion's network of contacts was destroyed in an instant.

Of course, this is just the beginning.The back house moved, and there was also some movement in the court hall.

For Mrs. Wang, what made things worse was not only the eldest princess' admonishment, but more importantly, the euphemism of a low-ranking and inconspicuous concubine in the palace.So an out-of-date concubine who is not favored and has no status, who would have thought that she would have to stab Wang so hard?

No matter what status she has, she is still a concubine, which made Yu Ming sway, and Jia Wang thought about it, and praised the third girl Tanchun and... Aunt Zhao.

No, it's Aunt Zhao.

After walking around the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan couldn't laugh or cry, this body is not bad, but it is also heavy, if it wasn't for the ancestor in the family, he wouldn't bother to come here to make things difficult for these people.

However, thinking of the sweetness of eating, Jia Huan is not so resistant to the marriage arranged by Uncle Yuan for Shi Mo.
