Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

In Fengzao Palace, Concubine Xiande slept drowsily and was woken up, extremely displeased.

"What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?"

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong, it's just that those palace people are fooling around, so I'm going to drive them out now..."

As Baoqin said, he was about to turn around and go out. At this moment, the joyful voices of the servants came from outside the hall.

"But really?"

"My concubine Shugui gave birth to the third prince, and His Majesty issued an order to all the palace servants to reward two months of monthly money..."

"Two months..."

"What are you still doing, rush to receive the reward..."

"Hold Qin!" Concubine Xiande struggled to get up, almost fell off the bed, and hugged Qin to hug her.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly?"

Concubine Xiande grabbed the qin in front of the bed, her pale and bloodless hands had veins, her haggard face was even more astonished, jealous, her eyes widened and distorted.

"Baoqin, what do you think is going on outside? What's going on? Tell me. Who, who gave birth to the prince, ah?"

"Your Majesty, you can't be angry, the imperial doctor said you can't be angry."

"Tell me, didn't I tell you that you didn't hear me? You lowly servant girl, don't tell me you don't take Bengong seriously anymore."

"No servants, please calm down your anger, please calm down..."

Concubine Xiande uttered such harsh words, she was so frightened that she hugged the piano and knelt on the ground pleading guilty.

"You still haven't said?"

"Your Majesty, it's Concubine Shugui. Concubine Shugui gave birth to the third prince early this morning. Your Majesty decreed that Concubine Shugui should be named Concubine Shu." Baoqin didn't hide the truth from Concubine Jia Xiande, so he simply said everything.

"Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, prince, the son of my palace..."

Concubine Jia Xiande was jealous and hated, she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the gorgeous embroidered brocade quilt on the bed.Seeing Jia Yuanchun vomit blood, he panicked while hugging the piano.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? Your Majesty, there is no possibility that something will happen to you. Your Majesty, please wait. This servant is going to invite the imperial physician."

"I'm back, don't call the imperial physician, I'm all right..." Wouldn't it mean that if His Majesty is displeased, you can't call the imperial physician.

"My lady..."

Concubine Jia Xiande vomited blood, the bright red blood reflected the bleakness of the room, in stark contrast to the bustle outside the palace.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the three princes were baptized for three ceremonies, and all the wives of the third rank and above in Beijing and Zhongzheng entered the palace to celebrate and watch the ceremonies.

The third prince's baptism ceremony was extremely grand, because his biological mother was Concubine Shu, who was of great status. Although Concubine Shu hadn't performed the canonization ceremony, the sage personally decreed that Jinkou conferred the noble concubine Shu as Concubine Shu, and the canonization ceremony was set for the third prince. At the time of the Hundred Days Ceremony; also because it was Emperor Jing Xing who ascended the throne as the first prince, his status was more precious than his two elder brothers; and because the full moon ceremony could not be held on the third day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jing Xing wanted to make up for it thoughts.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Meng Yan entered the palace early as Concubine Shu's family and Mrs. Yan, and immediately went to Yaohua Palace after greeting the imperial concubine.The Meng family in Yaohua Palace is still in the palace, only waiting for three rituals before leaving the palace.

Meng Yan thought she was the first one, but she didn't expect to see someone unexpected when she came to Yaohua Palace. She actually met Jiamu who was waiting to enter the palace outside Laixian Hall, the main hall of Yaohua Palace.The old lady is in a strong body, and she is still standing firmly with only one palace man supporting her. Her hair is covered with silver threads and jewels, she is really graceful and luxurious.

"The young lady is here, please sit down first, the young lady, and the maidservant will pass it on."

Meng Yan is also a frequent visitor to Yaohua Palace, as soon as she entered the palace, Baojing came out to greet her.

"Excuse me, miss." The four treasures are palace servants when they enter the palace, and Meng Yan is also very polite to them.

"Young madam is polite, slaves don't dare to be called girls."

"This is Yu'er's sister."

Before Meng Yan sat down, Mother Jia suddenly spoke. In fact, Mother Jia was dissatisfied when she saw that Meng Yan hadn't saluted her. , not to mention that she is Daiyu's grandmother and also Meng Yan's elder.

"Who is this?" Meng Yan pretended to be ignorant and asked the palace servant who served the tea.

"It's Mrs. Jia from the Rongguo Mansion."

"Hey, it's Mrs. Rong Guogong's wife, Mrs. Jia. You always look at my memory. It is said that women are stupid for three years after pregnancy. My memory has become worse since I was pregnant. I haven't seen Mrs. Jia for a long time. Forget it, it’s really rude, I hope you, old lady, don’t blame me.”

"In the past, I heard that you are the most benevolent old lady. I am inconvenient to salute you because of my heavy body. You are so kind and don't blame the younger generation. The younger generation thanked you first."

Meng Yan didn't go for Jia Mu, but sat straight. Jia Mu was her enemy, no matter how high Jia Mu's order was, she would not kneel down to her, even Jia Xiande, she had never knelt down.

There is something in this Mengyan's words, secretly satirizing Mother Jia's snobbery, she was not seen in the past, but now Daiyu has given birth to a prince and promoted to Concubine Shu, and then she comes over.

You must know that when Daiyu first entered the palace before this, Mother Jia asked Concubine Jia Xiande to summon Daiyu every time she entered the palace. It wasn't until Daiyu couldn't help but categorically refuse.After that, when Jia Mu entered the palace again, Concubine Jia Xiande never summoned Daiyu again, and Jia Mu never came to Yaohua Palace.Later, when Daiyu became pregnant, Mother Jia came back to Yaohua Palace, but she persuaded Daiyu to give birth to a prince for Jia Yuanchun to raise.

What do you say that Concubine Jia Xiande is a noble concubine, you are a mere Jieyu, and even the lord of the first palace is not as honorable as a noble concubine.The adopted son of the imperial concubine and the son of the little Jieyu are two very different concepts. The son of the imperial concubine has a greater chance of winning in the future.

The Jia family has always spoken without scruples, and Daiyu didn't need to tell Emperor Jing Xing about these words. Emperor Jing Xing soon found out what was going on, and immediately decreed Jin Daiyu to be the concubine of Shugui. Only then did Concubine Jia Xiande and Jia's family stop thinking about raising the child by themselves.

Later, when Concubine Jia Xiande was diagnosed to be pregnant with a dragon heir, the Jia family disdained Daiyu again, even when they saw Daiyu they looked up and pretended not to see her.Such disrespect, if other concubines had sued the imperial concubine earlier, the imperial concubine would have dealt with it.It's just that Daiyu is the granddaughter of Jia's family. Regardless of whether the Lin family and Jia's family have broken off, this relationship cannot be changed. Of course, Daiyu can't expose the Jia family's rudeness and unruly behavior.

Fortunately, Concubine Jia Xiande had a miscarriage, but Daiyu gave birth to a prince, and this Mother Jia came forward again, I have never seen such a shameless person as Mother Jia.

This is really in line with the famous saying of later generations, people are shameless and invincible.

As expected of Jia Mu, who is famous for her face and face, she didn't change her face, and even fought back immediately.

"Speaking of which, the Jia family and the Lin family are relatives and should move around more on weekdays. It's just that the old lady is old and can't walk. The relatives are unfamiliar. Poor my Min'er, if I am Min'er, I will never do this again."

This means that Mengyan Daiyu and others don't respect the elderly, knowing that Jia's mother is old and don't visit her, alluding to Daiyu's unfilial piety.Speaking of Jia Min, he secretly thought that if Jia Min was there, there would be no Meng Yan and others, alluding to the fact that Meng Yan and others stole Jia Min's things.

"Both my parents say that Concubine Shu is the most filial, but concubine Shu was less than one year old back then, she was so small and delicate, now she is filial, it is not in vain for my mother's hard work for more than ten years, my father also said People in the Lin family are the most filial.

Speaking of your daughter, I think back to the time when I was sitting in town to seal up my wife's dowry and found a box. My father said that it was the dowry given to my wife by the old matriarch, and it was an extremely precious thing.I don't know what is in the box that the old lady still feels sorry for. "

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, she gave the box to Min'er herself, how could she not know.When the thing fell into the hands of Meng's daughter, Jia's mother was not afraid.She looked up and saw Meng Yan elegantly holding up the teacup and sipping tea leisurely, feeling Jia Mu's gaze, Meng Yan raised her head and smiled at her, and said again.

"I heard that all the daughters of Jia's family have a share when they get married. I don't know if Jia Xiande's concubine also has one. The ladies who want to come to the palace must be interested in such precious things. Old Madam, you always say so."

Hearing this, Jiamu couldn't sit still.

Meng Yangou sneered.

"I heard that today's Concubine Chun is the nobleman Bai in Concubine Jia Xiande's palace who was pregnant and disappeared for no reason. Madam, do you think the young concubine Chun is interested in Concubine Jia Xiande's precious box of dowry?"

Jia Mu has been frightened into a cold sweat all her life.

Sure enough, the daughters and granddaughters taught by Mother Jia are all vicious.

"The imperial concubine is still waiting for the old man, please tell the girl to tell the concubine Shu that the old man is going to Fengzao Palace first."

Jia's mother said to the palace people beside her that she couldn't wait to help them, and fled in despair.

"Humph."

Meng Yan looked at the figure of Jia Mu running away and snorted coldly. She didn't want to tell this matter at first, but Jia Mu is too thick-skinned. Ask Daiyu to do something through Jia Min.

The Great Emperor has already died, and it will be a matter of time before Emperor Jingxing cleans up the nobles, she cannot let Daiyu be involved.

"It's still young madam, you have the ability to finally drive away the old lady Jia, otherwise the empress will have a headache when she sees it later."

That's right Baozhu, she has been in the palace with Daiyu for almost two years, the Jia family knows best how to harass Daiyu's maidservants, but they don't like Jia's people very much.

"Okay, you'll praise me too." Meng Yan said with a smile.

Meng Yan intentionally did not shy away from the palace servants, and believed that this matter would soon reach Concubine Chun, she had seen it clearly just now, and the palace servant supporting Jia's mother's eyes flickered when she heard her talking about it.Thinking that the palace man must be the nail that some concubine put in Jia Xiande's palace.

Because of the taboo of pregnancy, Meng Yan did not go into the delivery room to see Daiyu, but only spoke a few words to Daiyu through the screen.Waiting for the Meng family to carry the little prince out, Meng Yan personally gave the little prince the poison-avoiding bead and told Baozan that the bead could not leave her body.

Not to mention how warm Daiyu's side is, but Mrs. Wang of Fengzao Palace and Concubine Jia Xiande mentioned the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.

"Mother, Baochai's palace also likes it, but Baoyu is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, Baochai is a merchant, and his background is too low. This..." Concubine Jia Xiande frowned and thought about it, and finally felt unworthy.

After Concubine Jia Xiande proclaimed herself Concubine Xiande, she always referred to herself as Bengong when she talked with people from the Jia family in the palace.

"Your Majesty, this concubine knows about it, but in the mansion... Your Majesty, you don't know in the Central Palace. Back then, the big house was distributed and took away most of the family wealth. Now at home, the family still relies on your aunt's support..."

Mrs. Wang took out a handful of banknotes from her sleeve and handed them to Concubine Jia Xiande: "These are from your aunt to honor your mother."

Concubine Jia Xiande took the bank note and even looked it over, it was a full 2 taels.

"It's not that the concubine is partial to your aunt, it's just that the old lady prefers the eldest daughter of the Shi family. I heard that the Shi family still relies on the needlework of the women in the backyard to maintain the family's expenses..." Mrs. Wang looked worried.

Holding the bank note, Concubine Jia Xiande's thoughts turned sharply. There is no money in the palace. It is absolutely impossible. Now that she has lost her child, she needs good medicinal materials to take care of her body. This money.Although the family has a noble title, it has already declined, and they have to rely on their female relatives to do needlework to support the family... The most important thing for Xue's family is silver.Jia Xiande made a moved expression on his face:

"My aunt treats me like this. If I refuse again, it will appear that I am heartless. Baochai is dignified and generous, and the future wife of Rongguo Mansion can afford it."

"My lady said that the concubine also watched Bao girl grow up with her own eyes. She is dignified and majestic, and she is the best match for our Baoyu. My lady, what about the old lady?"

"Mother, don't worry, I will explain this matter to the old lady."

Concubine Jia Xiande's mother and daughter said that the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai had been finalized. Outside, Jia's mother asked the palace servants to help her hurry back to Fengzao Palace.For some unknown reason, Mother Jia did not mention the box about Concubine Jia Xiande, and even Concubine Jia Xiande told her about Jia Bao's Xue Baochai's marriage, she was absent-minded and agreed in a daze.

Although Concubine Jia Xiande saw that Jia Mu was strange, she didn't ask Jia Mu after all because she was talking about Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's marriage.

On the same day, Concubine Jia Xiande sent an order to marry Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, and they only got married after leaving the country.

But she said that Mother Jia was restless that day, and she didn't tell Concubine Jia Xiande about it until she left the palace.After the third prince's baptism, Concubine Chun got the news from nowhere and ran to Fengzao Palace to make a fuss. Concubine Jia Xiande, who was still in confinement, vomited blood and passed out.

Baoqin called the imperial doctor, who said that he was angry and overwhelmed. In addition, Michan Duosi was not in good health, so now he can only hang himself.

Concubine Jia Xiande hadn't passed the New Year's Eve after all, she went there on December [-]th.

Originally, when a noble concubine passed away, she should have ordered her wife to go to the palace to mourn and observe three months of filial piety, but when the concubine Jia Xiande passed away, not only did she not ask her to go to the palace to cry, there was even no funeral.

The saying in the palace is that funerals cannot be held because of the Chinese New Year, which is a taboo.

In short, Concubine Jia Xiande, who had made countless concubines in the harem envious and hated, had climbed from the court lady to the position of noble concubine, so quietly disappeared.

However, Emperor Jingxing rewarded Rongguo Mansion heavily.

Speaking of which, the Jia family was also surprised that Concubine Jia Xiande passed away, and they didn't find it strange that there was no mourning or funeral. Instead, they were even more arrogant because of the reward from Emperor Jing Xing.

Years later, Meng Yan's body became heavier, and she seldom went out except to raise her baby quietly in the yard, and she seldom even went to the palace.

In February, the servants sent back the news that Baochai and Baoyu were married in the Rongguo Mansion, and soon after that, Shi Xiangyun was married. information.Yingchun married the mountain wolf last year, and this year Baochai married Jia Baoyu. After all, Shi Xiangyun never had a relationship with Jia Baoyu, and Jia Tanchun got married. In this way, all the girls in the Jia family have gone away except Xichun.

Just after Chinese New Year, Emperor Jing Xing ordered to raid the Rongguo Mansion. After all, he thought it was the concubine Shu's mother's family. Lin Ruhai asked someone to buy a Zhuangzi and put Jiamu and other unsentenced people in the Zhuangzi. He also asked someone to give 5000 taels of silver.

In this way, the friendship between the Lin family and the Jia family, and the concubine Shu and the Jia family was established.

Later, Meng Yan met Xichun in the temple when she went to offer incense with Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Meng, and Meng Yan only recognized her when Mrs. Meng pointed it out.

The mansion of Jia's mansion collapsed, and all the gold hairpins in the Red Mansion, except Daiyu who entered the palace and Zhen Yinglian who recruited a son-in-law, were placed outside Wang Xifeng's mother and daughter with Jia's chain, and the endings of the other official gold hairpins were the same as those in the Red Mansion.

In a blink of an eye, after years passed, the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia, which had been prominent for a hundred years, were finally forgotten by people, and no one mentioned them again.
