Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 62, Grand View Garden: Chao Zhang Jian's other courtyard

Although Mrs. Wang's IQ is not high, it is not below the standard line.The time traveler underestimated her, as long as no one has a flawed IQ and has experienced ups and downs, no one will be too faint.What was the situation of the Wang family when she married into Rongfu?A little daughter-in-law lowered her head to pave the way for her elder brother, and she had to grit her teeth and endure what ordinary people couldn't bear.

Wang Xifeng had a better life than her. When Sister Feng was a girl, Wang Ziteng had already risen to a high position, but the Rong Mansion was on the decline. He had enough capital to be crazy.At that time, Wang Ziteng was not willing to marry Sister Feng into the Rong Mansion, but he was only Sister Feng's second uncle, and the marriage of children was decided by his parents. Wang Zisheng was dead, but Sister Feng's mother was still alive, and she liked the Lord's family.At that time, the eldest wife of the Wang family still blamed Wang Ziteng for not planning to be knighted to restore the glory of the ancestors. Wang Ziteng said that the days of martial arts will not last long.The eldest wife was very disdainful, and complained in front of Mrs. Wang, hoping that the sister-in-law would persuade the uncle who was not awake.

Mrs. Wang was quite surprised, she didn't think that the second elder brother would utter lies, that is to say, from then on, she lost interest in seeking the title of the eldest son of Rongfu, and since Sister Feng was very powerful, she had no chance, so she completely gave up.

Baoyu has dealt with Mrs. Wang for so long, so she knows how to say it is the most effective, so she "didn't add" her own opinion, just embellished the points raised by the King of Beijing, and told Mrs. Wang "[-]".

Mrs. Wang was very nervous and asked him not to reveal a word to anyone, turned around and handed a sign to the palace, asking to see Concubine Xiande.

The concubine's biological mother asked to see her, and she was granted permission immediately. On the day of "Family of Jiaofang enters the palace", the Wang family from the fifth-rank Xiaogong was called into the palace.

Poor Mrs. Wang has only entered the palace twice in her life. The last time she came with Jiamu and Mrs. Xing, she entered the palace alone today with sweaty palms.Fortunately, there were other family members of Jiaofang, who followed them to the Hou Chuan Hall.

But she said that Yuan Chun was depressed and couldn't send a young eunuch to the Rong Mansion to preach. She felt that everything would be easy if the emperor's silver was returned at home, and her life was just like this.If I can take another look at the old boudoir, this life will be considered complete—anyway, there is no other hope.

When she heard that her mother had entered the palace to see her, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that her mother would inevitably be nervous entering the palace alone, so she sent a maid to greet her with a piano.

After Mrs. Wang entered the palace, seeing her daughter's face full of spring breeze, she thought for a moment that Yuan Chun had won the favor of the emperor because the family had returned the imperial silver, so she couldn't help being overjoyed.

The mother and daughter said a few words in the opposite direction, only to realize that they had misunderstood each other.Yuan Chun began to express his gratitude to the emperor, counted the population of his own family, and asked where they lived.

Mrs. Wang respectfully replied that her heart was troubled, and it was obvious that her daughter had no idea of ​​the mystery of the "emperor's favor", so she politely asked if the other concubines had a provincial hospital.

Yuan Chun realized that she was too anxious, not to mention that she was the last of the five concubines, there were two noble concubines above the five concubines!So she said with a smile that she felt that there was no need to build another courtyard in Rongfu, the front and back of Rongxi Hall were empty, and she only needed to choose a house as her place to stay.

Mrs. Wang thought that there was no such cheap thing. She lowered her eyes and smiled: "The empress and the phoenix luan are here, and the ancestors are honored by the grace of Shangxi Tian.

Yuan Chunxiu frowned slightly, she knew the absurdity of Mr. She, and Mr. Zhen is not a good person. Could it be that they want to borrow money from their relatives?How unreasonable!

At present, the empress's jade face is slightly restrained: "The old sage, the sage and the queen empress all advocate frugality. In the past, the sage wanted to expand the Shoukang Palace for the old sage and the empress dowager, but the emperor forbade it. The old sage only said in an edict that 'you can stay in the pass', and the relatives are not. They will stay overnight, where can the palace maid of the Yellow Gate, Habayashi, stay? The designation of 'Where there is a home in Chongyu Bieyuan' is also to avoid relatives from disturbing the relatives' house. According to this palace, Rongfu's house is enough, and a little cleaning would be great. "

Mrs. Wang even claimed that it was true, and Yuan Chun beckoned Baoqin to come forward again, and sighed slightly: "Baoqin has been with me in the palace for nine years, and I have reached 25 years old. I have already asked the empress to send her home with my mother-in-law."

Mrs. Wang was shocked and glared at Baoqin viciously: Yuanchun entered the palace as a female official back then, and she was a female official, so she could bring a maid, so she brought the eldest maid Baoqin who has been around all the time.Her daughter will spend her entire life in the deep palace, so why should Baoqin go home? !

Baoqin hurriedly fell to his knees, claiming that he only wanted to serve his mother for the rest of his life.Mrs. Wang rushed to grab the conversation, telling herself how to treat Baoqin's family kindly.

Yuan Chun smiled wryly, he was hopeless, why delay another one?Furthermore, she, one of the five concubines, has not even been awarded a gold book, and is a concubine of no rank. The "concubine" should be the second rank, and she is the "Fengzao Palace Shangshu" from the fourth rank. Fengzao Palace is the palace where she lives!These words cannot be told to the family, the maids and nuns are standing aside!Only by letting Baoqin go out of the palace, can the family members understand their real situation through her, and don't think about what is there or what is not.

The Empress Empress was not allowed to play the piano out of the palace, so she quickly changed the subject and asked about her younger brother's recent situation.Knowing that Baoyu has decided to take the college entrance examination this summer, I am both happy and worried: "I am only 12 years old! It's just that if you are not strict, you will not be able to become a weapon, and if you are too strict, you may be in danger."

Mrs. Wang was heartbroken, if it weren't for the situation at home, how could she be willing to let her child go to the shed?At the moment, he suppressed his tears and said with a smile: "Baoyu has very good bones and strong skin. The prince of Beijing County also said that we are too pampered and prevent him from making progress. A few days ago, the prince of the county invited him to play and drank a few glasses of wine. ..."

Listening to Mrs. Wang's description, Yuan Chun laughed again and again. She was older than Baoyu. Mr. Zheng said that Baoyu "knows a few thousand words before the road is stable", which is a bit exaggerated. My younger brother taught me to recite a few books in my stomach.The two said they were siblings, and in Yuan Chun's mind, this younger brother was like a son, since she couldn't possibly have a parent.

The audience ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and Mrs. Wang was still escorted out of the palace with the piano in her arms.Of course, there will be a lot of nuns, court ladies and eunuchs who will do both ostentation and surveillance.

Walking to the gate of the inner palace, holding the qin and presenting the unopened envelope containing the banknotes, he said with a smile: "The virtuous concubine has an order, 'I am in the pepper room, and I have been bathed in the grace of the heavenly family. There is no need to spend money. Please respectfully take it back."

Mrs. Wang's heart ached for a while. When Yuan Chun was a female secretary, she could still give some money to her daughter through the relationship of twists and turns.This is the first time she has given money after Yuanchun became a concubine, and she got the chance because she came out to meet her with the piano, and she returned it in public!For a moment, her hands trembling when receiving the envelope.

Baoqin looked at her deeply, and said: "Master, it is a blessing in this life for a servant to serve your mother, but you must be conscientious, diligent and respectful. The family of the servant is so convenient. The servant is a meager person, and he dare not shelter her if he is incompetent. I hope everyone will remember."

Mrs. Wang trembled slightly, holding the piano was not talking about her own family, it was clearly Yuan Chun's warning!Although she had already guessed Yuan Chun's situation, she still felt as if her chest had been hammered after hearing this.Barely made it to the sedan chair outside the palace, couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and was afraid that the servants would see and spread gossip, so he could only bite the silk handkerchief hard and endure it.

In fact, Baoqin is a false edict from Yuanchun. She can stay in the deep palace until today and still not die. She is a smart person. Why does Yuanchun let her out of the palace?She is not that noble, she really wants to accompany Yuan Chun to die in the palace, but after leaving the palace, can Mrs. Wang let her and her family go?

Speaking of which, both she and Yuan Chun were hard-working people, if Mrs. Wang hadn't revealed the truth, she might not understand the reason until she died.When conferring the concubine, Yuan Chun thought that someone from the Jia family would be reused by the emperor, but knowing that the harem was linked to the previous dynasty, it was of no practical use. How could it be possible that the long-dead Duke Rong Guo made his great-granddaughter a concubine?She even thought that all hardships will be rewarded, and with her mother as her backer, she might be able to get rid of slavery and marry a good man.But it turned out to be Huang Liang Yimeng, who had hoped to leave the palace alive, but they had to live and die in the palace!

Back at Fengzao Palace, Baoqin immediately pleaded guilty to the concubine Xiande—their lives are full of eyes, and they have no secrets. Besides, she has been standing in the hall from picking up Mrs. Wang to sending Mrs. Wang away today. Who can hide this from her? ?

Yuan Chun wished he could pinch her to death with his own hands. It is a capital offense to falsely pass on oral instructions!After a while, she smiled lightly: "Very good! You still remember what I said a month ago, you are really diligent and respectful!"

When Mrs. Wang returned home, after thinking about it, she led Zhou Rui's family to invite Mr. Zheng to the study.

For more than 20 years, Mrs. Wang's words to Mr. Zheng are embellished so that they can be listened to. The core meaning is that the mother wishes to visit her relatives, but she must not misinterpret the old sage's words. She must be frugal. Hemerocallis courtyard can be repaired a little; secondly, the relatives must come after the two imperial concubines and the other four concubines, and should not be folded too early.

Mr. Zheng was so excited that his old eyes were filled with tears. He had been skeptical about the family visit until now, but he didn't expect it to be true!The edict of the empress is so in line with his liking, don't look at him who is not tired of being good at it, and advocates "frugality" very much in philosophy.At the moment, he repeatedly claimed to be good, and praised: "The old sage has revealed the great virtues of the world and the creatures, and he has shown unprecedented kindness in the past and present. Although he is so heartbroken, I can't repay it in case!"

Jia Zheng didn't like common affairs, and the only concept he had for a certain courtyard was "idle", so he turned around and ordered his confidants to check it out quietly.

A few long followers circled around and reported back: "The Daylily Garden is guarded and cleaned all the time because it is next to the main entrance. Now the manager is Zhao Tiandong, who is Lian's second grandpa. The Daylily Garden is repaired every four or five years. It is said that this time was just last year. The servants inspected the house and found that the house is in good condition, except that there are not many furniture. If there are people to live in, they have to buy some more. Do you want to send a reply to Manager Zhao?"

Mr. Zheng flatly refused and was a little unhappy. How could Lian'er's nanny be in charge?If you can do it now, although you don't need to add furniture, you have to redo the lintels and couplets... Don't worry, wait until the other concubines finish saving their relatives, it will probably be June, when Baoyu has finished his college exams, let him write couplets !If there is no hurry, there is Brother Lan. Back then, the eldest son of his own family and his empress were also brothers and sisters, and he let the empress know that the second wife had a successor.

Baoyu didn't know that his family's family home was so frugally booked. He couldn't study alone because he was upset, so he went to class to pretend to be a teacher, and then he was heartbroken to educate Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, who didn't study hard. It seems to him that it's time for the two of them to start working, such as hooking up with Jia Zhen, so that the guy can be fine as soon as possible~ kill everyone!Another example is to flatter Jia Amnesty, why spend money and trouble to let you learn antiques, not to entertain yourself!

Suddenly Jia Lian appeared at the back of the class, with crooked nose and slanted eyes, looking anxious, so the fake stone quickly ended the lecture, ordered Jia Lan Jiajun to lead everyone to recite, and walked towards the teacher's room with his hands behind his back and his feet splayed.

Lian Er couldn't wait for him to sway, so he rushed from behind like a gust of wind, dragged him into the teacher's room, closed the door tightly, and whispered in his ear: "You are amazing! Wu Shilang wants our land! Concubine Yi, Hui The concubine's family also wants us to buy a broken mountain." Then he gestured furtively: "It's a price! I heard that the emperor issued a decree that every family should build a family home, didn't you know it earlier?"

Is there even a need to ask?A certain one deeply hated that he didn't remember more where the other relatives were repaired when he wore it for the first time, rolled his eyes and pretended to be a ghost, and said: "I don't have the ability to calculate cards! I only know that once a mother is born in the family, Someone will be lighthearted. We bought the mountain tops with the support of Yifei’s and Huifei’s Zhuangzi. If they want to show off, they will buy the nearby mountains. It’s almost enough, it’s too outrageous, be careful that they play tricks on you.”

Jia Lian nodded sharply: "Understood! The land was not bought in our name, and it's not easy for me to stand out if they want to lower the price. It's just that the land that Wu Guifei's family wants is not reliable, how dare you spend money?"

Fake Stone wished he could kick Lian Er, but there are so many reasons, if he was not young and could not find other collaborators, he would have sent these two guys away!He had no choice but to tell the story that he had pondered over and wondered if he could deceive the ghost: "If the Wu family wants to have another family, the feng shui in that place is super good, and there is a vague view of the south of the Yangtze River."

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully: "It's a little Jiangnan flavor, but there are many better places..."

Baoyu's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was pounding. He hadn't seen the land after his rebirth, and he remembered the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but it was recreated by the Wu family. Why did the Wu family take a fancy to an ordinary mountain?Draw a stick, the head is off!

The Wu family, a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, inherited the surname "Soochow", and it is said that the original surname was Sun.At that time, the third emperor visited the thatched cottage and invited Wu's family out. The old master Wu and Mr. Wu both served as ministers in the cabinet, which is equivalent to the prime minister.That is to say, in the era of □□, Gaozu, and Taishanghuang, the Wu family all held high positions, so Jiangnan Zhenying was raised by the Taishanghuang to check and balance Jiangnan Wu!The Wu family has always kept a low profile, never bought land in the capital, and has always been a big official and lived in a big mansion. At present, the highest official of the Wu family is the servant of the household department, so the only way to invite a noble concubine to visit relatives is to buy land outside the city, so buying a piece of scenery is not bad. , The land is biased, and the price is moderate.

He didn't see what happened to the Wu family later, and it wasn't written in the original book of the Red Chamber.But as far as he knows, Concubine Zhou's family is from a scholarly family in Shanxi, Concubine Zhang Rong's family is from a family of scholarly scholars in Shandong, Concubine Li De's family is from a family of scholarly scholars in Huguang...

What's the matter, the Jia's family who repaired the provincial court was just a piggyback, and the real target of the royal family was the powerful family among civil servants!

A certain dog that thought it recognized reality looked up to the sky and laughed, and Jia Lian hurriedly covered his mouth in fright: "Partition walls have ears!"

The author has something to say:

Get rich, get rich! ~Let's quietly make a fortune in the dark...
