Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

After the guards of honor lined up, Yingchun stood up and bid farewell to all the sisters, and quietly warned the reluctant Jiamu for the last time: "The emperor was angry, blood flowed like rivers, old ancestor, our family can't afford it!"

Mother Jia made a promise with a solemn face: "Don't worry, if the Xue family dares to come to the house to make trouble, I will definitely be beaten out!"

Sure enough, Mother Jia fulfilled her promise very well this time.

On May [-]th, Mother Jia did not go to Biyun Temple again, but sent Jia Lian to deliver the secret book in person to confess to the Queen Mother. Mother Jia was frightened and fainted, and now she is recuperating at home.The Empress Dowager has become used to being accompanied by Jia Mu for three or five days every month to chat and worship the Buddha. She was shocked when she heard that Jia Mu had fainted, and hurriedly asked for clues.

Jia Lian then told the reason.

But at the beginning of May, Xue's family came to visit Sister Feng and was declined. On the next day, Xue Baochai came to visit in a carriage with the emblem of Zhongyi County Prince's Mansion.

The concierge received special instructions from the mistress, that Xue's family members were not allowed to enter the mansion lightly, unless the head of the family spoke to the head grandmother in person, they could let them go. Therefore, even though Xue Baochai pulled the tiger skin of the Zhongyi County Prince's mansion, he was still blocked by the door.

This day, the servant at the gate of the mansion was very clever. He recognized at a glance that the girl who got off the carriage was Xue Baochai's girl, Huang Ying'er, and he knew that this boy was Jia Lian's cronies who brought him up after reorganizing the lintel. He stepped forward respectfully. Bowing: "I don't know about grandma's housewife. If you go to the gate of the house to find that wife and grandma, can you submit a famous post in advance?"

The carriage and sedan chair moved: "Yinger!"

Huang Ying'er turned around and listened to her orders, and came up to her in a short while with a smile: "Quan'er, what's wrong with you, don't you even recognize me? I'm the eldest sister of Xue's family, Yinger in front of me?"

Quan'er stared intently at Ying'er, clapped his hands and smiled: "Oh, it's really Sister Ying'er, look at my clumsy eyes." Then he frowned, and gently pulled Ying'er: "I said Sister Ying'er, why are you here? A few days ago, our family and my sister’s family got angry and made a big fuss, which confused our second wife. It’s still not over now. If it weren’t for Second Master Bao caring about love, Second Master Lian would have sued the yamen. I even complained about Second Mistress a lot before, and I’m still angry because of this, our Second Master didn’t go back to his room after three days, and lives in the study every day!”

"Second Mistress is also annoyed. These days, she closed the door to thank guests and ignored her. Does the old lady lie to people every day? Our Second Master said that he wants to vent his anger on Second Mistress!"

This kid can talk nonsense. Jia Lian didn't go back to the bedroom because Sister Feng couldn't read and liked to listen to Jia Lian recite theories. Jia Lian was afraid, so she hid in the study.

How could Xue Baochai not realize that this was prevarication, so she said, "Ying'er, tell her, I'm not looking for Second Mistress, I'm going to see Second Wife!"

Ying'er smiled and handed over a brocade purse: "Brother Quan'er are accommodating, we are really close relatives in the house, why don't we need to say a word when we go in and out, why is it only half a year, and we are so divided!"

Quan'er dared to give and receive with her in private, so he sternly refused.Of course, she resolutely rejected Xue Baochai's entry into the frame with her kind words.

For this, Quan'er was rewarded with two taels of silver and a brocade purse from Sister Feng.

At first everyone thought this matter was over, clinker, on May [-]th, when Jia Mu went out early in the morning, when she was about to get on the carriage, someone jumped out and stopped the carriage frame, and the horse was frightened, kicked and almost broke the carriage. It was overturned, but fortunately the coachman is an old man, he stabilized it.

But Jia Mu was getting old, so frightened, she fainted immediately.

The empress dowager was furious: "Rongning Street is a street bestowed by the emperor, and people are not allowed to walk indiscriminately for ten days. Who is so bold and dares to block the imperial court's order?"

Jia Lian then said, "It's the son of the Xue family, the cousin of the second wife's aunt."

The empress dowager frowned: "Since you are a cousin, why are you so shameless?"

Jia Lian then talked about how the two families broke up their relationship, how Xue Baochai later entered the palace of Zhongyi County, and how he came to force the secret recipe for having a child.

The Queen Mother heard that Zhongyi County Prince's Mansion went to Rong Mansion to seek the secret recipe for childbirth. Her heart skipped a beat and her brows were knotted. It is very clear, this is also the reason why the Empress Dowager insisted on going to Biyun Temple to pray for blessings after having accidents for her concubines.

However, the empress dowager did not regret all of this. No one knew how the empress dowager, mother and son survived in the cracks by abandoning their dignity. Those hardships are still vividly remembered.

The palace of Zhongyi County has lived in dormancy for these years, and thought they should give up. Are they going to revive now?

The Empress Dowager immediately rewarded the precious medicinal materials for looking at them, and also rewarded Jiamu with a handle of white Hetian jade Ruyi.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager rushed to greet Chun after hearing the news: "Your elder brother said that your family had an enmity with the eldest sister of the Xue family. Do you know how to end the enmity? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Yingchun pinched the empress dowager's shoulders: "The concubine knew about it early on. It was only because it was a family scandal and related to the reputation of the daughter of the Xue family. Therefore, the ancestors gave repeated orders not to disclose it."

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows: "Guyu?" She already had a way to kill Xue Baochai in her heart.

After welcoming the spring, Xue Baochai got drunk and said to Jia Huan, the younger brother of the family: "Originally, the old lady wanted to get married to cover up the past, and the uncle of the Wang family also agreed, and made peace in the middle, but the Xue family didn't like the Rong family. , resolutely broke off the relationship with the Rong Mansion."

Yingchun said with a sigh: "Speaking of which, our Rongfu is sorry for the girl. The eldest sister of the Xue family is good at poetry and poetry. No wonder she looks down on brothers Huan'er. Although Huan'er is dedicated to practicing martial arts to serve the country, But so far, the third class bodyguard is still the emperor’s gift to him because of his firm ambition, after thinking about it carefully, the old ancestor proposed marriage at the beginning, really treated the eldest sister of the Xue family badly.”

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "The morals of the world have really changed. Merchants' families can now pick on famous families."

Yingchun didn't dare to continue with these words, and was busy holding her shoulders and pinching her back for the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, your back is hard, tight, and thick. This is not good. You have been kneeling and chanting for too long. It should be increased." It's time for activities, and the concubine is here to take care of the Empress Dowager's body, from now on, your daily life and food have to be arranged by the concubine!"

The Empress Dowager enjoyed the Spring Festival massage very much, she closed her eyes and straightened her forehead: "My lord, please listen carefully!"

The empress dowager woke up again, it was already sunset.The secret guard Feige who came to Beijing to investigate has arrived, and the Empress Dowager nodded slightly after seeing Mi Zha: "The Rong Mansion has always treated people kindly!"

It was the secret guard who found out that Xue Baochai was preparing to seduce Baoyu and mistaken it for Jia Huan. Of course, the matter of Wang's participation was beautified, and he became a complete victim. Because his niece and daughter disrespected him, he was hit hard and fainted. After getting on the head, I woke up in a daze and didn't recognize anyone.

Nanny Gui raised her forehead, "That's right, most people are afraid of turning against each other and filing a lawsuit for this kind of thing. The Rong Mansion chose to settle the matter peacefully, but the girl from the Xue family actually uttered wild words. I really don't know what it means!"

The Empress Dowager read the detailed records about the young ladies and young masters of the Rong Mansion, and found that this Xue Baochai was indeed a courageous and talented person, and she even showed signs of bullying the daughter of the Hou family in the past.As a woman, the Empress Dowager quickly understood why Xue Baochai wanted to enter the palace of Zhongyi County: "Huh, this girl is a caring person. She is letting go of the girls and sisters. The next King of Zhongyi County? Is it that easy?"

The title of King of Zhongyi County must be lost!The Xue family is really not worth mentioning, the empress dowager threw away the information: "Burn it!"

From then on, the Empress Dowager trusted Yingchun more and more, and her relationship with Jiamu became closer.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, autumn frost dyes the treetops red, and it is the day when the sweet osmanthus is fragrant and the maple leaves are red.It is also a day when loved ones miss together.

On this day, the emperor sent an angel messenger, and all kinds of gifts were delivered in carts.

On this day, the empress dowager received some good news. Three more concubines in the palace were pregnant, among them was Zhou Jieyu who had just been lifted, or she had just been lifted because of pregnancy.

Another one turned out to be the virtuous concubine grandma of Chengqian Palace.

It was Yuanchun who followed Yingchun's suggestion, and began to receive body massage from the maid from the seventh day after giving birth. After the full moon, she had already lost all the fat that had grown during pregnancy.After another month of recuperation, he regained his favor in July and crowned the harem with an unstoppable momentum. It was not because of Yuan Chun's great charm, but because the emperor discovered that as long as he went to Chengqian Palace to have a meal and rest, he would surely have a good night's sleep that night.

Of course, it is not ruled out to do some personal work with Concubine Xiande before going to bed.

The empress dowager was very happy: "Concubine Xiande is a lucky one, she will have two children with you!"

Nanny Gui joked, "Empress Dowager, I dare say that the Empress Dowager has heard your prayers!"

The empress dowager said on the forehead: "If a concubine gives birth to a prince in the coming year, I must fulfill my promise and reshape the golden body of Guanyin who sent the son!"

Another good news is about northern Xinjiang. The king of Beijing's strategy of clearing the walls and clearing the wilderness has succeeded. He successfully ambushed the Mongolian Tartar soldiers who came to intercept the food road during the autumn harvest. He actually assumed the responsibility of the chief bookkeeper in the army. When our army was chasing the traces of the bandits, the bandits' swords had already pierced our hearts, but they strangled our lifelines.

The soldiers and horses went ahead before the food and grass were moved, and the person in charge of the food and grass turned out to be a bandit spies. This spy just wanted to intercept the food and grass, and there was no package of poison to kill all the soldiers of the army. It was really kind.

The coach was very wronged, but he also had to disarm and return to the field.

Then, the king of Beijing fully accepted the military power of the northern border, met with the hungry and dizzy enemy army chariots, defeated the enemy army, and finally signed an agreement with the Mongolian tartars to pay tribute and never violate the border.

The news came back from the king of Beijing County, and now the three princes who have not fallen in the grassland have been brought back into the army, and they will be transferred to Beijing soon, as protons!

In addition to the above two public news, Yingchun learned that Jinli sent Yingchun a piece of news related to Rongfu University.

At the same time, Haijiang sent a briefing on the defeat to the capital. The governor of Haijiang died in battle. Wang Ziteng is currently in charge of Haijiang's troops and horses, and hopes that the emperor will send troops to help quickly.

The king of Beijing County won the first prize, and the four palaces of the four princes stupidly asked for a battle. In the end, the Holy One sent the king of Nan'an County to lead [-] troops to the sea to supervise the battle.

But Yingchun knew that the king of Nan'an County was going to beat the dog with meat buns.

It was precisely because of this person's defeat that Tanchun had to discuss marriage with Fan Bang, and now it seems that he is discussing marriage with Japanese pirates or pirates occupying an isolated island.

Sure enough, the courageous and keen Tanchun is really pitiful!

Therefore, Yingchun made up her mind, implying that Jia's mother asked for an exemption from the election earlier, and it was important to choose an engagement for Tanchun early.

The news of the King of Nan'an's expedition has become a pastime for the soldiers and civilians in the city. Some people reasoned by referring to the example of the King of Beijing that the King of Nan'an must wipe out the thief's lair within half a year.Some people are worried that the Governor of Haijiang has dealt with these people for more than ten years, and now he is decapitated, with no bones left.

In addition to being far away in the sky and the sea and the borders are not peaceful, after the army set off, the capital was peaceful, because the king of Beijing County was about to bring back the victory battle list and the surrender list and protons of the bandits.

The empress dowager's side is also full of joy. The victory of Northern Xinjiang and the pregnancy of the concubine are all signs of prosperity.At the same time, the emperor promised that on the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September, he would visit the Empress Dowager at Biyun Temple.

This day was August 26th, the day after the King of Nan'an left the city.

The empress dowager laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth all day long, and she hadn't seen her son for half a year.

Now that the family affairs are the state affairs, the world affairs are the affairs of the world, and everything is going well, how can the Empress Dowager be unhappy!

The Empress Dowager woke up early in the morning and personally asked about the solar terms purchase list, and added some of the Emperor’s favorite dishes. The Empress Dowager, who has never eaten meat since she became a vegetarian, ordered the kitchen to go to Beijing to purchase some baskets of Yangcheng Lake crabs. The Emperor likes to eat crabs the most. up.

Yingchun heard that he was very puzzled. Last year on the Double Ninth Festival, there was a crab banquet in the palace. Yingchun saw with his own eyes that Emperor Qianyuan ate only one ear of crabs, which is really not a favorite!

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of September.

On this day, Biyun Temple was sprinkled with clean water, and the Empress Dowager waited in front of the main hall early.

Emperor Qianyuan arrived as scheduled, dismounted from his horse from a distance, and when he saw the empress dowager, he knelt down on one leg, his eyes sparkling: "The unfilial son pays his respects to the empress, the empress is auspicious!"

The empress dowager's eyes were full of tears, but she was smiling all over her face: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled. The emperor does not need to blame himself. As long as the state affairs are stable, the emperor is healthy, and the people live in peace, the queen mother will not ask for anything!"

At the dinner that day, the Empress Dowager hosted a feast for the emperor, and the table was full of vegetarian dishes, except for one dish, which was red crabs the size of the mouth of a bowl.It is said that the emperor loved delicious food very much.

The Empress Dowager set up the banquet in the pavilion in the backyard, because she was afraid that the crabs would offend the Bodhisattva.

Yingchun has eaten crabs, but the girls picked out the crab roe meat, dipped in ginger juice and five flavors, Yingchun only needs to taste it.

Siqi stepped forward, ready to remove crabs for Yingchun.Unexpectedly, the emperor laughed: "Perform a trick for the queen mother."

Emperor Qianyuan gave him a look, and two eunuchs erected a folding screen on the emperor's table. It was the blue and white Qingming Riverside Picture that Yingchun had just fired.

When the screen was removed, three folds of crab roe meat had already been picked out in front of Emperor Qianyuan, but there was not a single crab missing in the pot!
