Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Koi are the most beautiful carp, and they are also the most beautiful carp when they are made of fish.Because I came to see Sister Feng, next time I have to pretend to be Master Jia Lian, and I can't turn into a black-faced man again. This is the sophistry of Koi's condition for becoming handsome.

But eunuchs are easy to look after women, so Yingchun can't object.Or Jia Lian's greedy temperament, and the beauty of his master, he may be able to get twice the result with half the effort when he learns kung fu.

Looking at the koi, Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, feeling sorry for her, it's a pity that such a handsome appearance cannot be passed on.

For a moment, the koi folded its hands and bent down: "Our family has met the second grandma, and the second grandma is well."

Sister Feng smiled: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li. Eunuch just feel at ease, and Shu Xiu is free to speak up."

Eight ginseng!

The koi was very proud: "It's okay, our family has been greatly favored by Empress Chongyuan, so why not talk about small things!"

Sister Feng smiled brightly and said, "It's different. Everyone does their own duties. My father-in-law is willing to sneak in to teach my husband. We are already grateful. How can I use you for nothing? This is not the same as a teacher, and my husband is not studious. , and my husband has to worry about it."

Yingchun I winked at the koi, and the koi cupped his hands with a very wink: "So, everything depends on the second grandma." Then he clasped his fists at Yingchun: "This subordinate will go back to the palace, and tomorrow I will go to the mansion to make the delivery."

The koi disappeared without a trace, and Sister Feng just smacked her lips: "These parents are really cruel, such a handsome child is willing to part with it."

Yingchun smiled lightly: "Hmph, that's right, which one of those theater troupes is not very handsome, sometimes it's better than death. So, one should know how to cherish blessings!"

Sister Feng said on her forehead: "That's very true." Then she laughed again: "The third sister is also thirteen. Right now, many people come to ask for letters. Each family has its own strengths. The old lady is still hesitating and doesn't know how to make a decision. .Besides, there will be a new round of draft three years later, I don’t know what the situation will be.”

Yingchun smiled: "You just look at each other, the same family background is based on character, and the same character is based on whether he lived in the capital. Now our sisters are all trapped in the palace, and the third sister has no chance of entering the palace. The election is still a sign, my lord." It's not lustful, just look at the 36 royal wives in the palace that he does not trust more than one-third. Besides, the third sister-in-law's family, it is best to choose Kyoto, so that brothers and sisters can take care of them nearby!"

Sister Feng raised her forehead: "That's right, it's easy to deal with if you have a second younger sister."

Yingchun smiled: "Third younger sister has an idea. When you have decided on the range of candidates, you might as well let her choose. This way everyone will be happy, and you will not complain. After all, third younger sister has a aunt and biological mother. How do you decide?" , or let the third sister make up her own mind."

Sister Feng raised her forehead again: "I will write this down."

The two of them had finished their conversation, Ping'er and Chess two came in with a red knee tray with a smile on their faces, on top of which was a small blue and white porcelain bowl inlaid with gold rim, and a bowl of steaming hot longevity noodles with a fresh fragrance!

Yingchun knew it was Daiyu's birthday noodles, so she asked, "Where's Sister Lin?"

Siqi smiled and said: "Miss Lin has already used it, and now Zijuan will accompany her to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Sister Feng smiled and asked, "Where are the third and fourth girls?"

Siqi said: "The two aunts went to the plum forest in the back mountain again, the third girl went to find poetry, but the fourth girl went to make a draft, saying that she wanted to draw plum blossoms, and tomorrow she will make a set of four treasures of the study of the plum blossom series, and ask someone to burn it It’s a good gift to give away!”

Yingchun heard that Xichun was in such a good mood, and was very happy: "It's good, Siqi, go and tell her, the manuscript is finished tomorrow and handed over to us, I went to find an official kiln to burn it for her, what is the wages, yes Give us a set of the Four Treasures of the Study for free, and also design a vase pattern for us, it must be festive, beautiful, and have a good mood!"

Siqi smiled and left happily.

Here, Sister Feng Yingchun is eating birthday noodles, and her sister-in-law is smiling with joy in her heart.Although the joys are different, Yingchun saw that he was dying and the road was paved straight, as long as he walked steadily, it would be a big deal to be covered by water and earth.

However, Sister Feng seemed to be a newly-baked countess and had a son. At that time, the husband and wife were kind, the father was kind and the son was filial, how happy the family would be!

It was the evening of February [-]th.

Jia's mother and her party had already decided to return to Beijing early in the morning. Jialian Baoyu had already led a group of servants to the foot of the mountain, and they lived together at the Taoyuanju Inn five miles outside Biyun Temple. Jia Lian sent Lin Zhixiao's family to report the news.

That night, when Daiyu Tanchun and Xichun went back to their rooms to rest, Jia Mu left Sister Feng Yingchun and sister-in-law to talk.But the empress dowager has already agreed to Jia Mu's request, and will persuade the emperor to allow Jia Lian to inherit Jia Amnesty's title at the same level.

What Jia's mother said about the title of General Wei Lie, but what Sister Feng thought was what Yingchun said, that her father-in-law, Jia She, should inherit the title of Marquis. Didn't Jia Lian become the young Marquis, and she herself is the Marquis?

Sister Feng suddenly laughed like a flower.

Jia's mother was also happy, but she didn't expect Sister Feng to smile like this. She spat at Sister Feng and said, "It's the girl with shallow eyelids. I think I didn't succeed in your grandpa's success in the past!"

Sister Feng smiled without being stubborn, as if she was content with Jia's mother's sarcasm.

Yingchun didn't say much, so as not to worry about Jia Mu, I'm afraid she won't sleep all night.He just said: "The old ancestor has to talk to the second elder brother carefully when he goes back. This round of the title assessment, we can't embarrass our Rongfu. If we are downgraded to another three ranks, my eldest sister and I will have no face."

Mother Jia's complexion sank, and she snorted, "If he dares, I'll beat him up when I get back. Feng girl, you have to be more careful. Let her study in your room when she has nothing to do. Don't let those bad hoofs scratch her." Already!"

Yingchun couldn't help thinking of Mrs. Xing, she didn't make any noise this time, because she asked, "Why didn't the eldest lady follow this time?"

Jia's mother snorted: "huh, how could she go out of the city to suffer from cold and hunger? She's a shallow-sighted thing."

Sister Feng curled her lips and smiled: "The old lady has wronged the eldest wife for a long time. The wife refused to come, but it was not because she was afraid of being troubled, but because she had someone else."

Jia Amnesty and Wang's two incongruous sons and daughters-in-law suddenly became children. Except for eating and drinking, they didn't quarrel with Jia's mother. He didn't like it, and didn't bother to care about it, so he turned her away on the pretext of asking her to take care of Jia Amnesty.Hearing that there was some meaning in Sister Feng's words, she frowned immediately: "Thinking, what thinking? Who else does your mother-in-law know besides gold and silver?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips: "The old lady probably doesn't know. My wife has been very careful with Cong'er recently. Seeing the sky, she called to ask for her health. Cong'er recently added a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks, all of which are made by sister Xing!"

Jia's mother stared: "What? The Xing family's girl is 14 years old, and Cong'er is only under [-]?"

Sister Feng curled her lips: "The old lady probably didn't pay attention, the wife had better say one thing now, female junior, hold the golden brick!"

Xing Yanyan has seen Jia Mu before, she is thin and weak, her eyebrows and eyes are neat, and she can match poems with Daiyu's three girls. You can't help her, girl Feng, you go back and tell Lian'er that your elder brother is like a father, and now that your elder brother is seriously ill, he, the elder brother, has to take responsibility, and let him warn Boy Cong that he can practice martial arts and study by himself if nothing happens. If you go back and forth at will, just break his dog legs!"

In fact, Sister Feng also thinks that Xing Yanyan is good, but just thinking about Uncle Xing's family gives her a headache. It seems that both Xing Yanyan and the Xing family agree with Cong'er. It was very difficult to get down to the ground, because he said: "My wife didn't hear what Uncle Xing said. It seems that our Rongfu owes them. I don't know how many dowries the eldest wife fell to the ground, and even moved the Xing family. empty."

Mother Jia scoffed: "Ha, I hired you with 24 silver from the Rong Mansion, just thinking that she is a step-wife without a dowry, so it's too ugly to enter the mansion with her body. As a result, she brought the dowry in at [-], and the box was not full of clothes. I’m so ashamed for them even if I come to the grains, and I’m so ashamed for them!” After saying this, she stared at Sister Feng, and smiled: “At the beginning, we were in the capital, and Mrs. Wang’s family was in Jinling. I entrusted Mrs. Wang The wife wanted to see it, and said that the girl is capable, and it is refreshing to visit relatives, ha!"

Speaking of which, Jia Mu seemed to be aroused, closed her eyes and meditated, and suddenly snored, which made Sister Feng choke her eyebrows and stare until she choked.

Yingchun covered Jia Mu with a quilt, and patted the back of the shoulder: "The old lady is drunk, so it's not bad to hold on until now. Don't whisper to her old man about drunken words."

Sister Feng sighed: "You don't know, since the Xing family came to Beijing on the ninth day of September, the eldest lady threw her to Wei Rui Xuan, and each went to have fun, eat and drink, but sister Xing didn't even prepare to change the laundry. What the eldest lady said was so funny, she said that she wanted to give the leftovers of the second younger sister you used before to elder sister Xing, but the sister's bedroom is now counted and put away by the old lady. The room is cleaned every day, and the clothes are turned over from time to time. Just to keep it as a thought, how could you order her to make four sets of clothes for sister Xing, you would have never thought that you would be treated as two sets by his father, and went to play Pai Gow with brother Zhen and the others in the house, and almost failed The old lady was so angry that she fainted, and the materials of her clothes were all in the same style as the third and fourth sisters. Don't say that she hurt the third and fourth sisters. Doesn't Sister Xing have a reputation? Tell me, this kind of husband and father can still be regarded as a human being. ?”

Xing Yanyan has no impression of Yingchun at all, but according to Cao Gong's description, this girl seems to be a quiet and polite person, because he said: "Didn't the uncle of the Xing family say that the eldest wife evacuated the Xing family, and the sister went back to seize the opportunity, and the three of them Liumian Haosheng calculated with him, and simply returned the eldest wife's dowry other than [-] silver, and then handed over the division of property between the eldest wife and Uncle Xing's family to the government for filing. A few thousand silver is nothing, two My brother is about to accept the title right now, so don't let them deliberately tarnish our reputation."

Sister Feng immediately straightened up when she heard the words, her beautiful eyes widened: "They dare!"

Yingchun said: "Don't you dare to say it again, we'd better be innocent, the eldest wife is not afraid of the elder, the elder likes pretty girls the most, why don't you send a beautiful girl to coax the elder, and ask the elder to force the elder After finishing the matter, the Elder Master hates the Eldest Wife the most, and he will definitely clean up her obediently, Sister Feng might as well instigate the Elder Master, that husband is the guide for wife, if the Eldest Mistress is disobedient, she will be divorced!"

Sister Feng chuckled, pinching Yingchun's pretty face: "I just found out today, Second Sister, you are pretty bad too!"

Yingchun glanced at Sister Feng: "No conscience! If it's not for Sister Feng's sake, I'm afraid you will be punished by the old lady, who wants to be so careless!"

Sister Feng hurriedly put on a smiling face: "I know that the second sister is the most kind-hearted, and my sister will give you an apology!" Sister Feng said with a smile: "Second sister, do you know that your brother bought the land for you a while ago, be good, my second sister My sister is now the big landlord of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and next year's spring and autumn rent will be increased by an additional salary from the county prince's mansion. Oh, tell me, I am also a dowry of [-] silver. I know that these years have been spent, day by day Looking at the silver flowing like water, I feel worried, if I am like my younger sister, wouldn't I have developed a long time ago."

Yingchun laughed: "Don't put a high hat on me. Let's go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow." Then he helped Sister Feng, and said in a low voice: "Then sell it, and buy Zhuangzi with all [-] silver, oh, Also, remember, don’t make any noise about your pearl farming business. You can cover it for as long as you can. After three years, you can make money back and make money. Disaster."

Sister Feng's expression froze, and she raised her forehead and said, "I know that."

Yingchun bid farewell to Jia's mother, who lived in the small courtyard, and went to the Queen Mother's yard first, but the Queen Mother had already rested.

Nanny Gui was on duty tonight, and when she saw Yingchun she was full of smiles: "Oh, I just didn't think about it, so the old lady in the house and the queen mother are old acquaintances, the two of them talked about their old smile, it really makes people happy to hear it, The Empress Dowager has not been this happy for a long time."

Yingchun was surprised: "Didn't Nanny Gui follow the Empress Dowager since she was a child?"

Nanny Gui shook her head: "The empress dowager entered the palace at a relatively young age, only 13 years old, and the girls who served in front of her were probably seventeen or eighteen years old. The servant's family was temporarily selected to have a child when the empress dowager entered the palace. At that time, the empress dowager The family is not noble, Cheng Engong was only the county magistrate of the seventh rank at the time, and the empress was only a talented person when she entered the palace. She has endured a lot of hardships to become the throne today. Those years of suffering can't be exhausted for days and nights, so I do it for the queen mother The empress is happy!"

Yingchun smiled immediately: "It's easy to know what the Empress Dowager likes. Let's work together in the future to make the Empress Dowager happy every day, and I won't be able to get back the happy days that were delayed before."

Nanny Gui pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words: "Well, this idea is good. In fact, the Queen Mother came up to the mountain to pray for blessings this time, mainly because of the ghosts in the palace. Alas, it's not about the difficulty of adding children, it's just ordinary. People, accidents happen one after another, who can bear it. So, if there are a few little princes in the palace for a few more days, the empress dowager's heart disease will be gone for the most part."

Yingchun was stunned when she heard the words: "I can't do anything about it. It's up to God to have a boy or a girl. Who can control it?"

Nanny Gui just laughed: "Who says you can't, you are so smart, Empress Chongyuan, if you give birth to a smart and well-behaved little grandson for the empress dowager, the empress dowager will take care of it and the sky will be full of dark clouds!"

Yingchun is embarrassed. Recently, everyone seems to be lobbying for favor and having a baby.

Yingchun straightened her steamed bun-like breasts, and turned around in a whirlwind: "Mama, you are tired, and I am tired too!"

Nanny Gui looked at Yingchun's back and pursed her lips happily, sighing in her heart, she never thought that such a little girl would be favored by the Empress Dowager and Emperor at the same time, and she herself was so flattered and calm, like Concubine Li Gui when she saw the emperor's eyes A hook was born in the hole, the empress dowager was like guarding against thieves, she was able to take the empress dowager's nap to put the emperor to sleep.

What happens now.He hurt his body, lost his child, and lost the favor of the empress dowager.

Yingchun went back to De's room, put down the heavy curtains, and then entered the space, poured out all the Fengjie's tribute wine before, twisted out the stored wine and re-blended, this time, trying to taste similar to the first time, and then pretended Bottles in boxes.

Koi sighed and sighed: "Master, you are too stingy. Thirty catties of wine are only mixed with one catty of Lingquan. Now I have bought 2000 taels outside. If you mix half and half, wouldn't it be a lot of money?"

Yingchun glanced at her, and sneered: "You didn't say that, if a mortal absorbs too much spiritual energy, his meridians will be broken, and he will die? I'm just earning money, not making revenge!"

Of course the koi knew this, and refuted with curled lips: "Don't talk about these spiritual springs, just say these ginsengs are returned to Tianqi, which one of you took out is not money, why bother buying and selling land, one mu of land is so slow Earn a small amount of money, and besides, master, you have the emperor to support you, and the empress dowager will also take care of you. You have your own salary, and the space has a spiritual spring, and any party can give you wealth and honor. There is also a bright road, we can cheat Leave here after death, and choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to practice Taoism and become an immortal. But you are you, but you give up the road of life and choose a boring and boring path?"

Yingchun sneered: "A gentleman loves money in a proper way. It's your plan. What's the difference between the author eating, drinking and having fun, and a pig? I call myself earning money and spending it myself. This is called the joy of life. Do you understand?"

The koi fell asleep with a thud: "I don't understand, I think it's fun to fly beautifully and be a fairy in the Heavenly Palace without eating or drinking!"

Yingchun ignored him and began to fill the spirit wine slowly.But I heard the koi sneer in the water: "Master, you are so stupid. You obviously have true energy in your body, which has matched the water and wood spirit roots in your body. Although you have not practiced formally, you already possess supernatural powers. As long as you Activate the supernatural energy, fill up thirty bottles, but for a moment, why do you stare at the blood dripping like this, and sprinkle the wine all over the floor, making the space full of alcohol, and those sub-plants are trembling and roaring, fortunately, you didn't open it Tianyan, I can't understand their yelling, otherwise, you will always be in pain."

When Yingchun heard the words, his heart was moved. It is not necessary to give away the power for nothing, so he followed the method taught by the koi before, pointing at the agate wine bottle in his hand, and the idea was driven: "full!"

Sure enough, the wine in the wooden barrel is like a person carrying it, and the siphon turns into a trickle and flies into the wine bottle paper.Yingchun Yile: "Ha, really."

Before the words fell to the ground, Jiuquan lost his cohesion, and immediately scattered in the air, spilling all over the ground.

The koi chirped and laughed: "You have low abilities, and you still have to be distracted. If you don't let it go, you will be blamed."

Yingchun was about to re-activate his mind, but suddenly, he saw thirty rosy wine springs flying out of the barrel at the same time, flying very accurately into the amber bottle, and then the wine springs were recovered suddenly, without dripping, and the wine bottle was already full.

Yingchun looked at her fingers and smiled: "Thank you, I will add you a ginseng. Tomorrow evening, you will bring these wines to meet Jia Lian, and then investigate the background and teach him according to his aptitude, so that he can be promoted to the imperial rank smoothly."

The koi suddenly came out of the water, with an unhappy expression on its face: "Teaching mortals is very troublesome. Those mortals are so stupid, just like my husband back then. I wanted to teach him how to drive and ride a horse, but he learned how to do it." I haven't learned it in three years."

Yingchun sneered: "So you should be deceived by him. He just has a mountain backer, he is lazy and unwilling to study. Maybe you haven't asked about it later, how did he get along with Miss Jin?"

The koi flattened its mouth and smiled coldly: "There is no future, and there is no Miss Jin. I begged the purple-clothed fairy to take him in. I got the fairy's 100-year skill. Although it can't be restored, it is more than enough to deal with a mortal. , he killed me, I was stopped by the purple-clothed fairy, and I couldn't take his dog's life, but I took his three souls. And died."

Yingchun was stunned for a long while, but she didn't think that a carp fairy's selection of talent ended up like this in the end.

Yingchun covered her eyes, remembering that she went climbing because her best friend robbed her boyfriend, but she stumbled.

The koi couldn't read her thoughts, and immediately became annoyed: "Why, the master thinks his subordinates are cruel?"

Yingchun shook her head: "No, if it were me, maybe I would kill him with one blow!"

The koi fairy suddenly laughed: "The purple-clothed fairy also said the same thing, but it was because of the fact that the magic spell of the heart at the beginning couldn't kill mortals, and could only be punished with small punishments. It was also the original fate that he died in poverty. Just return to the original form!"

For no reason, Yingchun thought of Nanny Gui's words. Could it be that the Empress Dowager was disappointed in Concubine Li, and instead wanted to support her to give birth to a prince, so that she could favor the Zhen family in the future?The Zhen family was also the unlucky one whose house was ransacked by the emperor. Her family was unlucky earlier than the Jia family. It should be that the emperor began to investigate them as soon as the empress dowager left.

But I heard the koi chirping and laughing: "Master, you guessed right. God has already judged that it is difficult for Concubine Li to serve her children. The Empress Dowager thinks that you are kind and intelligent, Master, and wants to support you in raising a prince, and then raise her by her side, so that In the future, the child will be able to get close to the Zhen family, for the noble status of the prince, the empress dowager is going to take this opportunity to elevate your status!"

Yingchun was stunned: "Keep it in front of you? Empress Dowager?"

Koi forehead: "I eavesdropped on this yesterday, but because you are busy, master, I didn't say it. However, the empress dowager doesn't seem to want to keep you from taking the son. She knows that she can't survive you, and she doesn't want you to hate her." What she means is that you like to stay in Ningshou Palace anyway. When the time comes, the empress dowager will raise the prince with you. This will not only improve your prestige, but also improve the status of the prince. In the future, you will not be crowned king without being The future prince will suppress it."

Yingchun frowned: "The future prince? Who does the empress dowager think is the prince?"

The koi chirped and laughed: "How do I know that, the empress dowager didn't say anything, and I don't know how to observe words, so I can analyze it myself. Many things in the world are very complicated, and most of them I can't understand here, just like your brother Jia Lian , Wu Kao, when the time comes, I will go invisible to help him, and just stick all three of his arrows in the bullseye, why bother?"

Suddenly, the koi chirped again: "I left my mark in Chengqian Palace, the emperor asked me to move Hanlan to Chengqian Palace, and let the virtuous concubine raise it on her behalf. He said that Hanlan left the master, and it seems that he has lost his aura. , not so fresh. Also, the emperor will come to Biyun Temple tomorrow, so why did he come to pay respects to Empress Baihua on the Hundred Flowers Festival!"

Yingchun suddenly realized, no wonder everyone is talking about the emperor today, but they got the letter early in the morning.

Koi frowned: "Who is Empress Baihua, do we have Empress Baihua here?"
