Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Yingchun was stunned: "And then?"

Sister Feng smiled wryly: "Later, I began to recite scriptures and be a vegetarian, and said that I wanted to be a lay monk in a secluded room. Of course, the old lady disagreed. It spreads that we have a good reputation. Others don't know, and they don't say that we are mean to orphans and widows."

Yingchun frowned: "What did the old lady say?"

Sister Feng shook her head and frowned: "What can the old lady do, she can only sigh, regretting that she shouldn't have forced brother Zhu to advance. I'm afraid Li Wan thought the same way, otherwise, how dare she act like this. The old lady couldn't persuade her, I had to invite the wife of the Li family to come to the door. She has changed a bit. She comes out every morning and evening to say hello, light a diao, and go back to read the scriptures. The old lady can only endure her appearance. How can the second wife tolerate it? They hit her with things and kicked people out, saying that Li Wan was disobedient and unfilial, this is to wear mourning for her in advance, to curse her to death, and to sue the patriarch to open the ancestral hall, alas!"

Yingchun was just confused: "What does she mean? Lan'er doesn't care. Doesn't she value Lan'er the most? She keeps her eyes on her all day long?"

Sister Feng smiled: "I don't know, I thought to myself, she is afraid that she has the same thoughts with the second wife, it is because of Lan'er, she thinks that brother Zhu is the eldest son of the Hou family, the second wife lived in Rongxi Hall in the past, she thought With this in mind, I thought that Brother Lang is the eldest son and grandson, and he can read again, so he must be the one who will inherit the title in the future."

Sister Feng looked at Yingchun as she said, "Nowadays, the two aunts are in charge, and the first and second households belong to their respective owners. She feels uncomfortable and cannot avoid thinking wildly.

Later on the old lady thought it through, named Bao Yulan'er, Huan'er and others to clean up their yards and live alone, so they were not allowed to hang out in the backyard easily.Lange'er is full of enthusiasm. He competes with Baoyu in his poems and songs, and sees Tiantian working hard in the study.He is growing up day by day, reading and understanding, not as much as he used to be when he was a child, pestering his sister-in-law, she is probably not used to it, so she changed her temper and became active for some reason. "

Sister Feng said and caressed her chest: "I'm feeling flustered right now. I heard people say that once a person's temperament changes drastically, he has to act differently. Her body is fine, so I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it for a while."

After saying that, Sister Feng shook her head, "It would be great if Brother Zhu was here."

Yingchun is silent, she didn't expect that the second room would move out of Rongqingtang, and it would be Li Wan who was hit the hardest.

Yingchun frowned: "With her appearance like this, isn't it possible that she can no longer be counted on? In the future, the second wife's responsibility will fall on the second grandma?"

Suddenly, Yingchun's heart skipped a beat, that's not right, Li Wan is not as sharp as Sister Feng, how could he want to be a prince?How come the title of Marquis Mansion is not the turn of Lan Geer?

Yingchun hurriedly asked: "Does she have some thoughts, and it's hard to say, so she is so happy to warn you? Sister Feng, do you remember how many times she acted like this?"

Sister Feng frowned: "Even though she complained a bit before, she was still normal. Around the beginning of September, after the Ministry of Internal Affairs notified her of the meeting, she began to show signs of it. The whole family was always sullen and not very energetic. , just keep saying that I am a dead wood, and I have no hope in this life."

Sister Feng said 'surprised': "Could it be because of the kiss? That day in our house, apart from the sick second wife, there was her, and almost the whole house was dispatched. She was afraid that she would feel bullied and suffocated." Got it?"

Yingchun thought carefully about the last time they met, and it seemed that neither she nor Yuanchun specially gave gifts to Li Wan, but only prepared a gift for Tanchun Xichun.Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Feng, and Sister Feng, Wang's family were all rewarded by the Queen Mother, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also had a share. It seems that Li Wan's name is the only one missing.

"This is our negligence!" Yingchun was a little annoyed: "Sister Feng, you didn't give her any rewards when you went back last time?"

Sister Feng was stunned when she heard the words: "Brother Lan has a share, I wrote and signed, and I asked someone to send them one by one according to the number!"

When Yingchun heard this, she suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but sneer, what a Li Wan, it was just a gift and she was forgotten, so she just got excited like this, do you think that if this is done, the Yushi Yanguan will make the decision for her and impeach the emperor Concubine, said that the two sister-in-laws are rich, bullying her, disrespecting her, driving her crazy?

Didn't he think that he could discredit himself and Yunchun by being so jovial?Based on this, how can you control Yuanchun and yourself?

I really have a big heart, aren't you afraid that the old lady will know that she has been killed?

Yingchun just felt too ridiculous!

In her previous life, in order to save a few hundred silver, she had the heart to watch sister Qiao watch her grown-up niece work as a child prostitute.

Now, she herself has only been neglected once, and there are many troubles in the palace, internal and external troubles, so she has become so unscrupulous.This is really treating oneself as a treasure, and treating others as nothing!

Yingchun laughed angrily, and said to Sister Feng: "Later, I will pack up some plain satin, silverware and fur, and you can take them back to her, and then tell her that Brother Lang will be an official in the future through the imperial examination. You ask her, is there any nun's son who is an official in the world? In the future, when her son becomes an official and she is a layman, how will she wear the Fengguan Xiapei?"

Sister Feng just laughed: "Yes, how can I wear the gold flower of imperial order after shaving my hair!"

Yingchun glanced at her: "If she changes from now on, she will be angry for a while and can't think about it. There is no need to worry about what to do. It is very pitiful for a widowed mother to raise a child. Sister Feng should not care about her. I will remind everyone in the future. Sister, no matter how many rewards there are, she will definitely not be missed.

If she is still the same and insists on doing so, she simply accepts her, gives her a secluded room, and asks her to become a layman as she wishes!After three to five years, when Lan'er is elected to be an official, you can also ask for a memorial archway for her, and simply ask her to seek benevolence and be a martyr who will praise the chastity through the ages! "

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smacked her tongue: "That's all I have to do. She shouldn't hold her tongue. In the house, your brother and I only have five taels of silver to spend each month. She spends 20 taels a month. She is treated like an old lady." .At the end of the year, she is always on top of the dividends, and she is also on par with the old lady. What she eats, drinks, and uses every ten days is compared to us. How else can it be? It is really hard to predict!"

Yingchun frowned and said, "The Li family is a scholarly family. I hope she can turn around in time and take responsibility for herself. If she plays tricks like this, she will eventually harm herself."

Sister Feng said on her forehead: "Anyway, our house treats her generously. All relatives should know that it is not easy for her to chew out her tongue and slander anyone."

Sister Feng is very open-minded, and after a while, she and Yingchun discussed how to open a herbal medicine shop, and wanted to touch some court offerings, which made Yingchun laugh: "The court offerings are so good, you must have someone who can bring the dead back to life." Doctor, I still have to have the elixir of resurrection, do you have it? It is better to buy and sell some raw medicines to make money, ordinary people in this capital dare not go out of the customs, there are many medicine shops that need raw medicines, as long as you have medicinal materials, you can wait to make money Bar."

Sister Feng rolled her eyes: "Then what is your aunt's favor?"

Yingchun sneered: "You don't get rewarded for your merits. I don't go to the herbal medicine shop. If I have medicinal materials to consign, or introduce you to a big business, you can give me an achievement. It's a few small ones at home, Huan'er , Cong'er, Lan'er, these people are you and your brother's help in the future, you have to be willing to take a piece of the pie, even if it's half of it, tens of hundreds of silver a year, size matters. In addition, Huan'er and Cong'er give You have worked hard, and you have to be rewarded for your hard work. This is called brothers and sisters, and you can get along for a long time if you get along like this."

Sister Feng smiled: "What is this? I'm already on the double salary of the prince, and I'm not willing to give up a few hundred silver. Even if the second sister and the eldest aunt have their share, I won't lose it."

He said again: "Second sister, if you buy those Zhuangzi's land, it will be profitable at the end of the year. Should I buy another Zhuangzi for you, save the silver, or send it in for use?"

Yingchun was also very excited when she heard that her farm was promising. It must be known that neither Yingchun nor Cao Ying in her previous life had ever really owned land. Selling the land, becoming a land lord in a vast expanse of land, and then living with a family on their own land, with their own fields on their heads, and their feet on their own land, what can be so comfortable, but unfortunately, it is not possible now.

But owning land is also good, although I can't set foot on it myself, so I asked with a smile: "I wonder what my second brother will buy for me?"

Sister Feng smiled and raised her finger: "Don't worry here, my sister gave me a total of [-] silver. Your brother bought about a thousand acres of land near Tangshan. According to my sister's instructions, your brother didn't dare to buy it. It was a remote land. There are also dozens of springs, which cost [-] silver. Your brother is going to wait, it’s hot over there, or build a house and sell it, or buy springs and land, in short, double the cost is certain.”

"I bought two vineyards in Changping, and now the vineyards are slowly rising, but they are not very expensive. For medium-sized land, ten taels of silver per mu, two vineyards cost [-] silver. The income depends on the market. A whole number a year will not be less.

You bought two of the upper-class farms, both of which were worth [-] silver, and your brother went to the Eastern Province to buy land and Laolinzi. The land there is cheaper, and your brother gave you some money. , bought [-] dumps of fertile land and [-] dumps of old forests.

The Zhuangtou Ding was arranged by Lin Zhixiao in the past, and he was a proper and stable person.As for the income, the good land is about [-] silver per year, and the old forest is mainly used for grazing and logging, so it should not be excessive. There are always three to four thousand silver per year. If there are treasures in the old forest, it will be a huge profit. "

Yingchun raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean baby?"

Sister Feng chuckled: "There are three treasures in the Eastern Province, it depends on our luck."

Yingchun smiled: "You mean ginseng?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips: "Well, I heard that old wild ginseng has been produced in several Wangfu forests. It is said that there are also hundreds of years old ginseng, and one is worth several thousand silver. Tell me, if you can find one this year, wouldn't it be a big deal? Developed."

Thinking of Lai Shangrong's family, Yingchun couldn't help but feel disappointed: "It's beyond my reach, I saw it, can I give it to you?"

Sister Feng grinned: "You have never been in charge of Zhuangzi, that Zhuangzi arranges families to have children, and his whole family is in our house. He can't escape, he can't escape. He wants to quit his citizenship. Let's check his identity." worth a fortune.

"Generally speaking, the head of the Zhuangzi can't leave without authorization. Only when there are matching cards and road rules from our mansion can he get out of the Zhuangzi and enter the city. In this way, even if he wants to ignorantly place something, he is still a dead thing, and We also have rewards for those who find treasures, once they find treasures and turn them in, they will be rewarded with one out of a hundred taels of silver, why would he risk his life and death to get those dead things that cannot be spent?"

"After all, a thief like the Lai family has grown his appetite with his master. Those whose ancestors have been slaves for generations and have spent their entire lives in the old forest, most of them are similar to Jiao Da. He is not happy to ask him to live separately from his master."

Speaking of these tricky things, Yingchun really doesn't understand, but she understands how much money she has: "In this way, my income in the next year will also catch up with the prince's allowance?"

Sister Feng covered her mouth and smiled: "Not only that, but double salary!"

Yingchun was a little distracted, seven or eighty thousand silver was enough to double the salary of the entire prince, Sister Feng and her husband are so capable now, why did the Rong Mansion collapse in the previous life?

Seeing Yingchun stunned, Sister Feng twisted Yingchun's hand: "Second sister, are you stupid for Huanxi? You have a shallow eyelid, and your husband is rich all over the world. Isn't this little money stupid?"

Yingchun annoyed: "What husband?" Thinking about the rush of money flowing every year, he couldn't hold his mouth shut with a smile: "Tell my second brother that the income from the past ten years will be given to me to continue to invest and expand the land. I like real things. , land, mountains, forests and pavements are all fine. Besides land in the Eastern Province, you can also go to your hometown in Jinling to buy some land, and you can also go to Jiangnan to buy some tea mountains.”

Sister Feng pursed her lips: "I know that, you have the same virtue as our ancestors, a scholarly family, disdain for business, only like the land."

Yingchun looked at Sister Feng: "The old ancestor's approach is actually very safe. Depending on whether it is a war in troubled times, or a natural or man-made disaster, the house can collapse, and the business can fail, but the land can stand for thousands of years. From ancient times to the present, the country has changed hands. The heroes are disillusioned, but the land has always been there and never disappeared.”

Sister Feng smiled: "I know, too many pavements can make holes, but the land is solid. Our family will also follow my sister from now on."

Yingchun shook her head: "Sister is different from me. I live in the palace. No one can starve us to death. How can a family have no money reserves. Once something happens, it is inconvenient to sell the land. You have to have money in hand!" "

Sister Feng was stunned and then smiled, her eyes sparkling: "As the saying goes, listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. I listen to my sister, that's what I mean!"

Yingchun smiled, she liked talking to Sister Feng more and more, this person is really transparent.

The sisters-in-law talked about the planning and business before, and then they talked about family affairs, and Sister Feng talked about the bad things in Ningfu.Now Jia Zhen is very sticky with her sisters-in-law. Her brother and sister are very nasty all day long. It has been spread in both houses, and all the rumors are popular. Only Jia Zhen is not ashamed.

Jia Rong got married and married a small family girl. Youshi deliberately found a daughter-in-law with a good-natured face and a short stature. Although it was not pleasing to look at, she was quite at ease at home.

As long as Jia Rong doesn't wear a cuckold, it doesn't matter if he is beautiful or ugly. He can go shopping in Liuxiang, Huajie anyway. The girl at home is also beautiful, and it is easy to touch.

Yingchun was bored to the core, and it happened that Yuanchun had finished chatting with Jia's mother. The grandparents and grandchildren went out for a walk together, and they seemed to have a pleasant chat.

It was the twelfth day of October, and the weather was already freezing.

Jia Mu is also old, so it is not suitable to run around in the cold.Furthermore, a little Baolin in the palace is also the master. No matter how high-ranking the imperial wife is, Jia Mu would bend down to salute when she saw the harem.It's better not to come to the palace to be wronged if nothing happens.

Yuanchun also has this intention.

Yingchun then said to Jia's mother: "If there is no urgent matter, you should not enter the palace years ago. The old lady is getting old, and everyone in this palace has to salute and kowtow. You are always at home to rest for a few days. We sisters repeatedly bowed their heads to others, and we feel very ashamed."

When Jia's mother heard the words, she laughed: "Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, this is what they should be. Some people think like this, and they can't hope for once in a lifetime!"

Jia's mother was so open-minded that she told the Yuanchun Yingchun sisters not to delve into this matter any more.

This time we will kiss, it can be said that everyone is happy.Especially Yingchun, this time I have handled all the leftover matters properly, and I feel extremely comfortable.

Three days later, the emperor sat down in Chengqian Palace and told Yuan Chun about the division of Rongning. What other reason?"

Of course, Yuan Chun would not be so stupid as to seek his own death, and told the emperor that the Ning Mansion had colluded with the Zhongshun Prince Mansion, and the Rong Mansion was afraid of getting involved, so they divided the clan, and told the Emperor according to the answer discussed by the sisters in advance: "The ministers and concubines are not very clear about the specific matters, but the former Son, I am worried about my mother's illness. Our old lady mentioned that because of the matter of visiting relatives, the two houses are in great trouble. Brother Zhen is the patriarch, and he wants to use the matter of visiting relatives to improve the status of the family, but he just doesn't want to pay for it."

"My brother Jia Lian also wanted our sisters to go home to visit relatives, but unfortunately he didn't have any money in his hand, so he thought about moving a few years later, and then he said that he had more money, so he refused, and he couldn't deal with it. This matter, Mr. The wife directly said that the two had a quarrel, that they wanted to divide the lineage, but she didn't go into details, what I meant with my sister, the tree is a big branch, and the son is a big family, if the old lady can persuade her, she can persuade them, if she can't, let them go!"

The emperor was very satisfied when he heard it: "My concubine's words are good. If you can get along, you will be separated. If you can't get along, you will be separated. You can't do it!" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Chun and said: "My concubine wants to go home and have a look. go?"

Yuan Chun shook his head: "I thought about it, but it was really scary to listen to them calculate an account. What's wrong with a few hundred silver, and now the Holy One has given me a gift, and I can see you once a month. Not first, ten years The concubine is already very satisfied without seeing her relatives."

Yuan Chun's words have already blocked his way to visit his relatives, and he feels depressed.

But the emperor listened to it very much: "Don't worry, my concubine, I know. I am worried about your little brother who was born with jade. Next year, next year's autumn hunt, I will take your sisters there, and I will also give Rongfu a place to accompany you. At that time See you soon."

Yuan Chun was busy saluting: "My concubine, thank you for your majesty's grace."

Emperor Qianyuan smiled and raised his forehead: "Well, I am a person who loves talents. According to the report of the King of Beijing, Jia Baoyu is a good reader and proficient in all kinds of poems and songs. He is a talent, and I will cherish it! Not only for my concubine! "

After that, the Yuanchun Yingchun sisters were in a surprisingly smooth situation. Emperor Qianyuan went to Chengqian Palace to sit in every now and then.Not to mention those Baolin talents in Chuxiu Palace.

Yuanchun was in a very happy mood, and no longer held Yingchun every day, and often sent people to Yanxi Palace to reward things.

Yingchun has now become a frequent visitor to the Ningshou Palace. Because the weather is getting colder, the Queen Mother no longer takes a walk in the garden. Yingchun starts to tell stories to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes to listen to bitter dramas. Yingchun tells the stories of many modern classic movies to the Queen Mother. From the Legend of the White Snake, to the son-in-law, to Qin Xianglian, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the empress dowager was always moved by hearing it.

One joy and one sorrow, or anger or worry, are all happy and happy.

After such a period of time, when Yingchun goes to Ningshou Palace again, the empress dowager will always prepare all kinds of food for Yingchun, and the queen mother likes to smile and watch Yingchun eat deliciously.

Because of this, Yingchun often has delusions in a trance, as if she missed time and space and met her kind grandmother again.

After lunch that day, Yingchun told the story of chasing fish. The empress dowager was in a very good mood. Leaning on the smoked cage, she ordered Nanny Gui to open the cage and bring out the jewelry she wore when she was young, as well as the precious furs she had collected for Yingchun to choose from. .

Under Gui Nanny's suggestion, Yingchun chose a rose-purple cloak trimmed with white fox fur, and a jacket trimmed with silver-red brocade and white fox fur.When Yingchun dressed up, she was so youthful and beautiful that she actually made the empress dowager cry.

Later, Yingchun found out that this winter dress was the first piece of clothing given to the Queen Mother by the Emperor after she had been favored by the concubine Xuezang in the harem for many years and became pregnant by chance.

The empress dowager couldn't put it down. Although she had many expensive clothes, the empress dowager would wear them once a year. Later, when she got older, she couldn't wear them anymore, but she has kept them and maintained them every year. They are as good as new.

The empress dowager wiped away her tears with a smile: "Gui Xiang, do you look like you were quietly acting like this when I was young?"

Nanny Gui took a closer look at Yingchun, then at the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, this Empress Dowager Chongyuan really resembles the Empress Dowager by five degrees?"

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips: "It's not unusual, people are similar, and Duke Rong, grandfather and grandmother of this palace were originally brothers and sisters."

Yingchun was stunned when he heard the words, this is another breaking news, co-author Rongfu and the queen mother have both family affection and love!

Returning to the palace in the Spring Festival this day, I got this set of clothes, and four sets of matching headgear, one set of gold inlaid amethyst headgear, one set of gold inlaid ruby ​​headgear, one set of silver inlaid emeralds, and another set of emerald headgear .

Yingchun went back to the palace and took a closer look, and I knew that the emerald and emerald heads were probably jewelry when the queen mother was a beauty, and the gold-encrusted jewelry should be a reward from later.

Touching these things, Yingchun was silent. Under such a good situation, how did Yuanchun get into a desperate situation?

This night, after the dead of night, Yingchun hid in the space, carefully figured out her appearance, and then carefully copied the appearance of the Queen Mother to the younger one, but it was not very similar.In the end, the koi helped Yingchun. She used a soul-hunting technique to check the appearance of the queen mother when she was young, and found that the eyes and jaw of the queen mother were very similar to Yingchun. The reason why Yingchun couldn't see it was because the queen mother was getting old. The jaw is round and the corners of the mouth are loose, so I don't want to look at it.As for the eyes, everyone has water almond eyes. There are many people in the palace with water almond eyes, so they are not enough to attract people's attention.

Yingchun asked the koi to compare Yuanchun's appearance, and found that Yuanchun's appearance was like Wang's, and his face was like Jia's mother.

Yingchun was still pondering, Jinli laughed instead: "Concubine Xian is like your grandmother, your grandmother took the queen mother's beau, no wonder she is not liked by the queen mother."

Yingchun rolled her eyes: "Shut up, you are a fish, you know what kind of lover Yulang is!"

The koi didn't think it was a pestle, and groped its cheeks and swayed: "Didn't you tell my story before, why did you come to bury me in a blink of an eye?"

Yingchun was stunned: "You? The story I told?"

The koi patted his pink cheeks: "I'm that Bibotan koi? I helped him get rich, but he still married Jin Mudan, but he invited Master Zhang to take me in. Otherwise, you thought I was a good person the year before last. What can I do!"

Yingchun was stunned, she didn't expect to meet the legendary carp fairy.This fairy is now a vassal of her own, relying on her rewards to live?

The koi raised eyebrows and smiled delicately: "Master, what is your expression? You can also revive the memory of future generations. Can't I sleep in time and space to treat the master?"

When Yingchun heard this, she was afraid that she would persuade her to become an immortal again, so she hurriedly waved her hands: "I don't want to hear about memory recovery, so tell me, what news have you heard in the past few days?"

Hearing this, the koi became serious: "Reporting to the master, there is really something to do. I joined the Fairy Hanlan in Concubine Li's palace. Concubine Li decided to present her own Hanlan to the Queen Mother on the day of her birthday. Then, she bribed Ning A little eunuch in the Shou Palace cut off the root of your master's cold orchid that day, and let the cold orchid fall off on the spot, so as to offend the Queen Mother. Then, she will join hands with Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Ning to beg the emperor to severely punish the master. The master took away the title and entered the cold palace."

Yingchun sneered: "Is there anything else?" I have space, just change a pot after it breaks.

Jin Li said: "Concubine Hui and concubine Ning are preparing to murder Concubine Li's dragon fetus during the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and then shift the responsibility to the master and Concubine Xian, because the master and Concubine Li are not dealing with each other. Everyone knows. Their masters and servants feel that Concubine Li and Concubine Xian will threaten the eldest son of the emperor to become the crown prince, so they plan to get rid of Concubine Li's dragon fetus first and blame the master and sisters. It is best to abolish the master and sisters. Into the limbo. Even if the master and sisters cannot be abolished, this trick is enough to arouse Li Fei's hatred towards the master and sisters. At that time, they will look for opportunities to save trouble and instigate Li Concubine to look for opportunities to get rid of Xianfei's dragon fetus. It is best to abolish Li Concubine, even if Li Concubine cannot be abolished, let Li Concubine and Xian Concubine fight to the death, and they will benefit from it, so as to keep the eldest son of the emperor's absolute right to inherit the throne!"

Yingchun heard that her eyelids twitched wildly, Concubine Hui was really vicious.No wonder this person was able to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor under the eyes of the empress.

Comparing Concubine Li's schemes with hers, it's really not enough!

If this plan fails, it's over, once it works, don't say that Yuanchun will be unlucky, even I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to survive, murdering the dragon's fetus, what a crime!
