Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Jia Mu's frowning look made Yingchun's heart jump wildly with fright.

Isn't Mother Jia a partiality to Nanny Lai?Why are you so angry now?

Yingchun looked down at the information revealed on the rice paper, Lai Shangrong was overwhelmed?Impure mind?Looking left and right, I didn't see any clues.

Jia Mu hummed angrily and didn't explain, as if she was hit hard.

Mother Jia couldn't bear to expel Nanny Lai, and Yingchun understood very well. After all, when one is old, there must be someone who can talk to her, and Nanny Lai is the one who can talk to Mother Jia.

Yingchun is now committed to revitalizing Rongfu, without the support of Jia's mother, it is difficult to move forward.

When Jia Lian came home, Jia's mother would let him take over all the government affairs. To do this, you need to establish prestige first, and to establish prestige, you must kill chickens to warn monkeys. Lai's family is no different from the best monkey.

Jiamu closed her eyes and said nothing, Yingchun didn't dare to speak out, she just tried to give Jiamu a sigh of relief.Jia Mu is now the hope of Rongfu's continued prosperity, and Yingchun sincerely hopes that this old ancestor will live a thousand years.

Suddenly, Mother Jia opened her eyes, but the topic of conversation changed: "As for your elder sister who will leave the palace next year, how can I entrust you to explain these things? Although this matter is urgent, it is not a one-day job. So, it’s not too late to do it next year? Also, how did Yuan girl bring up the two rooms to change residences?”

Yingchun was stunned.

When she got home, she didn't reveal the news that Yuan Chun had already been favored, because she was afraid that Jia's mother would be worried, and second, that the news would leak out and ruin Yuan Chun's reputation.

Then, Mother Jia stared at Yingchun with piercing eyes: "Do you know? Or your elder sister didn't say anything, you saw it yourself, figured it out, the purpose, whatever clues are fine!"

Mother Jia's words obviously confirmed Yingchun's IQ.

Yingchun was very embarrassed, Yingchun did not disclose the matter of Fengfei, but hinted that she was not perfect.

Yingchun suddenly knelt down in front of Jia Mu, clasping her hands with Jia Mu: "Old Ancestor, you promise not to get angry before I say it!"

Mother Jia shook her head solemnly, but instead of being angry: "Don't be angry!"

Yingchun knew that Mother Jia was not happy about hiding things from her, so she hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know what to say. I'll tell my elder sister the exact words of my elder sister. How about my ancestor's own good deal?"

Jia Mu's forehead.

Yingchun said: "When I first met my eldest sister that day, I asked her how she was doing, and she said yes. Then I asked her what her plans were and whether she would leave the palace next year. The eldest sister remained silent for a long time, and finally said A sentence: sister, do you know that all the women in the palace belong to the emperor!"

When Jia's mother heard the words, "Ah", her mouth opened wide.Mother Jia, who was always elegant, kept opening her mouth in astonishment for three breaths.

Immediately, Yingchun was terrified, and she was afraid that something would happen to Jia's mother. Jia's mother was already seventy-six.As the saying goes, 7384, the king of Hades doesn't tell me to go.Yingchun hurriedly wiped Jia Mu's top: "Old ancestor, old ancestor?"

Mother Jia sighed suddenly as if waking up, and held Yingchun tightly: "Tell the old ancestor quickly, how did you answer?"

Mother Jia's eyes were cold, she couldn't see any emotion, but Yingchun could feel the persistence in her eyes.

It seems that Yuanchun won't succeed until the cover is lifted.

Sooner or later, Yuanchun will be sealed, and there is a chance. Yingchun didn't dare to reveal it casually. After thinking about it, it's better to be straightforward, because he said: "I said that the eldest sister entered the palace for the good of the family. No matter what the eldest sister does, the younger sister respects her." My good sister!"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she immediately relaxed her body, leaning her body on the pillow, and rubbed Yingchun's forehead hair with her smiling eyes: "Good girl, well said. Well, it's strange, I explained it in such detail, and I felt it before. It's weird, it's not that I won't come back, but it turns out to be like this."

Yingchun took the opportunity to say: "Ancestor, I think what the elder sister said is very important. According to the observation of the granddaughter, the elder sister seems to have great ambitions, otherwise she would not explain it like this. Even the second uncle and aunt told the ancestors everything. It is hoped that the ancestors will eliminate hidden dangers within the family, so as not to hinder the big sister's ambition."

Jiamu now has a qualitative leap in her trust in Yingchun, and she nodded with a smile: "What else? Keep talking."

Yingchun smiled, and said: "I think it's not easy for a big sister to be in the palace. She has both ways and worries about labor. We eat and drink at home. It doesn't matter if you can't make your big sister look good. You must not discredit your big sister. Just like the Xue family Uncle Xue Pan, how could Baochai’s qualifications for the minor election be deprived if his elder brother was not morally good and killed people? That is the honor that the Holy Majesty bestowed on Ziwei Zhenren. We must not write like Xue’s family!”

Jia Mu stared at Yingchun for a long time, and said with a smile: "Look at this little mouth, it's all right, no one likes it, no wonder your elder sister believes you!"

"A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. I am the granddaughter of an old lady, how can I be stupid!" Yingchun laughed and said, "As long as the old ancestor doesn't show his granddaughter to be noisy, the granddaughter will come to talk to the old ancestor every day."

Jia Mu poked the rice paper in Yingchun's hand: "There are words on the front and back."

Yingchun was busy flipping through the pages, and sure enough there were words, but it was Yuan Chun who told Jia's mother to listen to the second sister's ideas on some things. She felt that the second sister had become more intelligent and reasonable in recent years, and what she thought made sense.Let Jia Mu not ignore the meaning of welcoming the spring.

Jia Mu smiled: "Your elder sister said so, I would like to ask you, what should we do now?"

Yingchun was about to speak, when Yuanyang suddenly heard the reply: "Old Ancestor, ladies and grandmas asked if the banquet is open?"

Mother Jia smiled when she heard the words, held Yingchun's hand and smiled: "It's both you two girls, you can't hold back with a small mouth open, but I love to listen to it too." As she said, her eyes were sideways: "You too, She looks quite clever on weekdays, but she didn't remind me today, no one else would know, and they would say that our grandparents treat honored guests poorly!"

Yuanyang smiled: "The maid took the wrong child, but next time, as long as the old lady is open-minded, the maid would rather make another mistake and be punished than interrupt the old ancestor's peace!"

Mother Jia smiled more and more, she supported Yingchun with one hand, and handed it to Yuanyang with the other, and went to the Rongxi Hall to listen to the opera and eat wine.

The guests and the host had a great time, seeing off their relatives and friends, and Yingchun still helped the old lady back to Rongqing Hall.This time, Mother Jia drove Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng's sisters-in-law back: "You have been busy all day, and you are tired, go back and rest, don't follow along, disturb our girls, so sweet!"

Sister Feng also has a stomach to tell Yingchun. Hearing that her eyes only glanced at Yingchun, Yingchun smiled and said, "I'll go and see Qiaoer tomorrow. I don't know if Qiaoer still remembers my second aunt!"

Sister Feng smiled and narrowed her eyes when she heard this: "I remember, why can't I remember, my niece is more like Aunt Xiao, she doesn't remember Lao Tzu, and she can't forget Aunt either!"

Mrs. Xing stared at Sister Feng as if her eyes were falling, she just curled her lips in her heart, she didn't see how you treated this girl before, but now that she is promising, and she knows that the black hen is a nest.

what!

Sister Feng saw Mrs. Xing smacking her lips and smacking her tongue. She deliberately didn't know it, and followed the two wives with a smile. I went home.

Ping'er smiled and spread the handkerchief on Sister Feng's face: "Second Miss, won't you come?"

Sister Feng scoffed: "Second sister is so precious when the tide rises this time. When she comes back, she will be caught by the ancestors and won't let go!"

Ping'er smiled: "That's good, you must know that the second girl is our big house owner, and the ancestors like it can only be good for us and do no harm!"

Sister Feng's forehead: "Yes, yes, Miss Ping has foresight, daughter Zhuge, grandma, I can't live without her. Come on, wipe your hands for me, you're covering your face."

Ping'er sneered: "Grandma will pick things up. Changing grandma tomorrow will cover my face to death. It's worth dying!"

Sister Feng giggled, and covered her face when she snatched it with her hands: "I tell you to die a happy death today!"

However, Jia Lian was not at home. The master and servant laughed for a while, and fell asleep together without mentioning it.

Here, Yingchun and Jia's mother had a heart-to-heart talk, knowing that it was midnight, and Yuanyang came in and forced the grandparents to sleep.

The next day, Yingchun woke up early and came back to see Jia Mu. Yuanyang waved her hands, and Yingchun retreated lightly.

I'm in the room with Siqi Xiuju packing up today's gifts for others, but it's just the exchange of things between sisters.Yingchun has a heart, and asks Siqi Xiuju to remind him that Xichun and Tanchun used to care about those things about him, or what Tanchun and Xichun like, just tell them.

While Yingchun ordered the two big girls to pack presents, while thinking about the treasure hunting trip last night, she felt very happy.

But he said that Yingchun came back from Jia Mu's room last night and fell asleep.Just thinking of Jia's mother's enlightened attitude, Yingchun felt even better.Perhaps it was because Yuanchun attached great importance to Yingchun, and Jia's mother not only curbed Yingchun's old dudes, but also suggested that they accept all of them in order to cultivate their offspring.

And agreed, and immediately ordered the family to invite famous teachers to teach Bao Yulan'er Jia Huan and Jia Cong, and decided to tidy up a courtyard in the southwest corner, especially for his brothers, uncles and nephews to use for self-cultivation and martial arts.

Yingchun originally thought it would be very difficult for the Lai family, so Jia's mother also made a painful decision, and promised Yingchun, and waited for Jia Lian to return from the south of the Yangtze River, and immediately collected evidence to completely expel Lai's family.After discussion, the grandparents and grandchildren decided to use Wang to intervene in the matter of buying and selling lives in Lai's family, and to intimidate Wang, so that the big house and the second house can exchange houses, and each belongs to everyone.

I didn't expect Yuan Chun's words to be so effective, but within half a day after returning home, Jia's mother was persuaded by herself. All her pictures were supported, and she would immediately put them into action.

It was hard to sleep in the middle of the night, Yingchun's eyes were closed so painfully, seeing Siqi fell asleep, she slipped into the space, drank a few sips of spiritual spring water, and immediately refreshed.

Entering the space, it is like looking at treasures in spring and wandering around the Lingquan. The small lake is about an acre in size.

Thinking of the healing and beautifying effect of Lingquan, Yingchun seemed to see ingots of gold and silver spinning around.But, how can we turn Lingquan into money?

This Lingquan can't be sold naked like this, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster, and it will have to rely on one more mention to make money.

But what to do?

Yingchun thought about it, but didn't think of a way out. Modern things use liquids, and one is drinks, which is not fashionable here.

a drink.

Yingchun thought it was worthwhile, once Sister Feng proudly showed off that their royal family drank wine from foreign domains, which showed that winemaking was feasible.

It's just that winemaking requires a vineyard, but I don't own an inch of land.

Yingchun was immediately discouraged, guarding such a treasure but not being able to make money, it was really depressing, if it was in modern times, if he was in the cosmetics business, he would be on the rich list.

Even if you have a vineyard, you are not free to move and take care of it yourself, which is also troublesome.A girl can't spend the money on her body. Maybe, when Jia Lian comes back, she can ask him to buy a farm for herself, plant grapes, grow grain, and make some coffins to sell.No matter what the idea is, it is temporarily impossible to implement it.

Unable to fall asleep after much deliberation, Yingchun thought, why not take the opportunity to inspect this space of her own and see what other treasures are available besides Lingquan.

Looking left and right, the mountains and mist in the distance welcome the spring and dare not explore. If I encounter a monster hiding a spirit, I will not be wronged!

Anything is possible, be careful.

I didn't dare to go far away, so I wandered around. There were many plants on the ground, full of vitality and vigor, but unfortunately, Yingchun didn't recognize herbs, and didn't know whether they were valuable or not.Looking up, the hills by the lake are the most eye-catching, surrounded by clouds and mist, just like the atmosphere of fairy caves created in movies.

Xindao: I wonder if there will be treasures here?It's good to be able to go in quietly.

Thinking of this, Yingchun saw the thick fog around the lake at the foot of the mountain slowly dissipating. In the middle of the green mountains and clear water, three small thatched-roofed buildings were hidden among the green trees and vines.

Yingchun was overjoyed, and hurried forward to check what happened, I'm afraid there is a treasure in it.Wouldn't it be great if this senior was a miser.

It is known from the front that this hut is not an ordinary building, but a building on stilts.The four corners are alive on four big tree branches, Yingchun goes up the wooden ladder, the three thatched houses are not separated, there is a small incense table and a small emerald jade incense burner under the opposite wall.Cao Ying raised her head and faced the portrait on the wall. It was an embroidered portrait of a beautiful woman, with fluttering skirts and a Guanyin pocket on her head. She was beautiful and dignified.

When Yingchun first saw her, she was as amiable and lovely as looking for a relative.

It's a pity that she holds Buddha dust in her hand, otherwise Yingchun would be the most beautiful and amiable Avalokitesvara statue she has ever seen.

Yingchun often followed her grandmother to worship Guanyin, and she couldn't help but knelt down on the futon in front of the portrait, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, and said silently in her heart: "The younger generation came here without invitation, and the seniors please forgive me!"

The Spring Festival prayers were over, and as usual, she got up and bowed three times to bid farewell to the Bodhisattva. Suddenly, she seemed to see the smiling eyes of the woman in the painting brighten up, looking like a living person.

Yingchun's heart skipped a beat, how could this face be so familiar?

Yingchun was stunned, and suddenly, like a divine enlightenment, she suddenly became cheerful.

But when Yingchun was young, there was one thing that she never dared to mention to others.As long as she can remember, between the ages of three and 12, she would meet a very beautiful and demure woman in her sleep every few days.

At that time, my mother was busy with work and had to take care of her twin brother, so she sent Cao Ying back to the countryside to live with her grandmother. There was a dark statue of Guanyin Buddha in her room. The Red Guards destroyed the four old ones, so my grandmother's grandmother had no choice but to bury the Buddha statue under the bed in black paint.

Although Cao Ying didn't believe it, she would follow her grandmother to worship Guanyin on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

At that time, Cao Ying often dreamed, most of which were beautiful pictures.Only when she was 12 years old, Cao Ying suddenly dreamed that the woman vomited blood and died. She woke up suddenly and told the dream to her grandmother who liked to worship Guanyin.

When grandma heard this, she felt thoughtful, hugged Cao Ying and patted her to coax her. The night became quieter, and Cao Ying seemed to hear grandma crying.

The next day, grandma gave Cao Ying the jade bracelet in her hand, and told Cao Ying not to tell anything about the dream, especially not to mention it to outsiders.

There is a cousin in the uncle's family. Cao Ying has the habit of Ningcun people, and thinks that her mother-in-law's things should be passed on to her granddaughter, not her granddaughter.Therefore, I dare not accept this ancestral jade bracelet that is said to be priceless.

Besides, the cousin is at the age of Aimi, and when she saw the jade bracelet, he was thinking like Cao Ying, thinking that grandma's things should be kept for him, so he asked Cao Ying for it in private.Cao Ying had this intention, so she wanted to return the jade bracelet to her cousin.

Grandma insisted on passing it on to Cao Ying, and told her aunt and cousin that they retreated.

Cao Ying didn't understand this at the time: "Ancient jade has its own spirit, and only those who are destined can get it."

At that time, my aunt was very angry and quarreled with my grandmother.

The grandmother immediately said that he was very fair to the children, and the jade bracelet was passed on to the daughter, and the red sandalwood Guanyin would be left to the daughter-in-law, depending on whether she kept it or bought it.

The grandmother also told the aunt that the jade bracelet was not because of his preference, but because of the ancestral rules of her natal family, which was passed on from daughter to son only because Cao Ying's mother had no connection with the jade bracelet. Accompanying myself into the coffin, I didn't expect it to come true on Cao Ying.

Then the aunt stopped making trouble. After that, the aunt, mother and daughter treated Cao Ying indifferently, always thinking that Cao Ying took advantage of her.

Cao Ying had woken up several times in the middle of the night to urinate, only to see her grandmother looking at her under the light with a very sad expression.

This made Cao Ying very nervous, thinking that she had disturbed her grandmother again in her nightmare, but she only asked her every time.Grandma always smiled and said: "It's okay, our Yingyingfu's fate is great!"

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but since Cao Ying put on the jade bracelet, she has never dreamed of that beauty again.Soon after Cao Ying turned 12 years old, she could no longer hang out with her grandmother in the countryside, and was taken back to the city by her parents to attend junior high school.

Later, when I grew up, I read some idle books and heard some gossips, saying that some people would dream about the past life, but Cao Ying never believed it, because the woman was beautiful and elegant, but Cao Ying could only be regarded as pretty. .

Cao Ying was 24 years old when she died. It was a doomed year in her life. She hadn’t dreamed of that woman for 12 years, so her memory has faded, but the memory at that time was quite deep, and it has been engraved deep in Cao Ying’s memory. The woman's vivid eyes were stimulated, and suddenly felt that the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the dream were like embroidered images.

Cao Ying was immediately excited.

I haven't dreamed of this senior again for 12 years, but I don't want to dream again but it becomes an embroidered portrait.

Cao Ying knelt down and kowtowed three times again: "Please forgive my daughter's presumptuousness, and visit your cave."

After the clinker bowed three times, the embroidery on the wall suddenly cracked three times, and then the window sash moved away from each other. Don't think that behind it is a dark room comparable to three huts. Cao Ying entered the door and closed it naturally, but the room was not dark. , as bright as day.

Cao Ying couldn't help being secretly surprised, and looked for light sources everywhere, but there was a lotus candlestick on the front wall, and a pearl the size of a bird's egg was placed on it, and the room was full of light from this pearl.

Seeing this, Cao Ying swayed like a swing in her heart, and was pleasantly surprised. Cao Ying knew that this huge pearl was probably the legendary night pearl.

Theoretically, luminous pearls actually exist. Empress Xiao of Emperor Sui Yang once boasted to Li Shimin that every time Emperor Sui Yang had Daqing in his palace, he would hang luminous pearls in the palace, and the whole palace would be as bright as day for the emperor and his concubines. Games for fun.

Even here, the luminous pearl is used as a candlestick, so it can be seen that there are countless treasures in it.

Cao Ying looked around, but saw that the east wall was full of precious boxes, and there were jade vases on the treasure boxes. Cao Ying looked at them one by one, but they were all kinds of panacea.

Cao Ying's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons, this is a living treasure.And each Baoge has a booklet, detailing the ingredients and production process of this kind of elixir.

It's a pity that Yingchun was about to take a closer look, but was startled by Siqi Qiye, and hurried out of the space.

Yingchun was so angry that her teeth were itching, she just hated in her heart, how could there be such perverted sleeping rules.

Yuan Chun originally wanted to wait for Siqi to fall asleep before entering the space to investigate. Today, clinker Siqi's chance has soared to a higher level, and even the lady in charge of the mansion has to call her a girl when she sees her. She was so excited that she didn't want to sleep anymore, she just wanted to find someone to share her joy with, so she called Xiuju quietly. Xiuju also had an extraordinary experience today, and she was extremely excited. These two people are really a pot with a lid. Hey, head to head, muttering endlessly.

As a result, Yingchun didn't put the two of them to sleep, she fell asleep by herself, and when it was dawn, she didn't do anything.

Suddenly, the mandarin ducks came over to send a message: "The old ancestor was sleepy last night, and he fell asleep at dawn. I'm afraid he won't get up until noon. The girl should eat by herself. The third girl has gone back to the second wife's place. The second girl's meal is ready How about sending it here?"

Yingchun thought for a while, and waited: "Second Mistress, can you settle down now?"

Yuanyang nodded: "According to past practice, it seems to be almost the same! Miss?"

Yingchun smiled and said: "Well, it's not good to eat alone, why don't I go to Sister Feng's to grab a meal, so that they don't wait on me, and the old lady can't afford to order things, and it will be troublesome to do it again!"

Yuanyang smiled: "How dare they take trouble, it's because the girl loves them, and she will ask them to kowtow later."

Speaking of Jia Mu's small kitchen, Yingchun's heart skipped a beat: "I remember that there seems to be someone named Zhang Fugui's family in the small kitchen. Is she still there?"

Yuanyang frowned when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "This Zhang Fugui's family used to work in a small kitchen, but later the ancestors disliked her for being clumsy and broke things. The ancestors love to miss the old ones. I was afraid that it would be useless after being beaten by her, so I transferred her out, she is not an important person, and I don't know where to transfer for a while, let me look into it!"

When Yingchun heard Qiqiao Linglong Yuanyang say this, she knew that there was something wrong with this family. The big sister's girl should be treated well. If something happened to the girl's family, how could she serve her master wholeheartedly? what?

But he didn't say anything: "Please trouble Sister Yuanyang!"

After Yuanyang left, Yingchun asked Xiuju: "Your mother is also working in the ancestor's small kitchen, why don't you go and ask Zhang Fugui what's going on at home?"

Xiu Ju then asked: "But her daughter is called Zi Mo, the one who followed the eldest girl into the palace?"

Yingchun Yixi: "Do you recognize it?"

Embroidered orange complexion is not good: "This?"

Yingchun frowned: "What about this and that, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Siqi said: "What do you mean by hesitating? Your Jin family has a strange problem. I know about it. I told the girl that besides this Zimo in this rich family, there is another girl named Qiao'er who looks good. Her mother originally Prepare to send him into the mansion to serve the old lady. Ask someone to pick him into the mansion, train him under the hands of Nanny Liang, and act as the head aunt in this Rongqing hall. After a year or two, he will learn some sewing and tea, and then choose him again. Come up to serve. Somehow, that girl was unlucky, but was seen by the elder.

Just let the eldest wife and Liang Nanny want someone, Liang Nanny dared to offend the eldest wife and the old master, she had no choice but to agree, the girl also knew, how could there be any good in the past! "

Yingchun frowned: "What about now?"

Xiuju stares at Siqi: "You can!" She blames Siqi for dirtying the girl's ears.

Siqi didn't take it seriously, and said: "What can I do, I became a member of the old man's room, and the old lady was very annoyed when she found out, so she sent the whole family to the big room. Now that girl has changed her name, It's called Qiutong!"

Yingchun stagnates: "What is it called?"

Siqi was surprised: "Is she called Qiutong?"

Yingchun's face was full of darkness: "How old is Qiutong this year?"

Siqi bit his lip and smiled: "It seems that I'm still growing up with me, and I'm sixteen this year!"

Zi Mo looked at a very serious person, but the girl was actually Qiu Tong, a father and son who killed Hu Meizi, this is really messed up.Yingchun frowned: "When did it happen?"

Si Qi frowned slightly, and said, "The year before the eve of the year? Well, it was the year before the eve of the year! I remember that time, the eldest wife personally made her a pink shirt, Qiu Tong wore a golden hairpin on her head Ronghua looks like a bride. My grandma had a good laugh and said she was the old man."

When he was talking, he suddenly remembered that the listener was the daughter of the person he had slandered, so Siqi blushed and stopped the topic.

Yingchun felt very ashamed, that girl is sixteen this year, how old was she the year before last?What a crime!

Yingchun couldn't help but raise his forehead, God, God, Jia She is such a cheating and unscrupulous old man, why did he put himself on the line!
