The Concubine of the Red Chamber

"Everything on my son's body today is a gift from my wife and master. I can only use these to add makeup to my sister. I hope my wife will forgive me. My son remembers a few good things left by the old lady. You can share some with my sister after looking at it. A son is a part of my brother's heart." Jia Zheng didn't bother to coax Jia Shishi at all, he didn't lack money, but Xiao Wang was really pitiful. How can it be of any use? After she told her embarrassment, Jia Zheng took some calligraphy and paintings from the study room and gave them to Jia Mu, exaggerating their value and popularity.

When Jia Shi heard the words, at first she felt that her daughter-in-law was useless, but she felt very sorry for her son, and could not blame her for favoring Zheng'er. It is true that the boss has gotten more, so she hurriedly pulled him out and said, "Your hand If you have a few good things, keep them all! If I help you add makeup to Min'er, you will definitely lose face."

Jia Zheng nestled on Jia Shishi's knee gratefully, and said gratefully: "My son doesn't know what to say, your kindness, my son will always remember it."

Even though everyone in the mansion said that the marriage was a good one and that the new son-in-law would do whatever he wanted, Jia Zheng just couldn't like it. He participated in Chunwei this year, but he still failed. Passed the exam, full of bitterness.Because he is eager to learn, he has always been the object of boasting by the masters and wives in the mansion, but as he gets older day by day, the boasting is gone now. Everyone in the mansion is saying Jia Hu is good, and Jia Zheng is full of complaints. Xiao Wang is gentle and considerate, but she doesn't have a good family background. If her father is also a great contemporary Confucian, can I get similar questions like when I was a scholar?

But Jia Zheng knew that no one could say these words. The title of a scholar made him taste all the joy and glory. Even though the masters at the time said that he had to work hard and hone his skills, Jia Zheng felt that the imperial examination was nothing more than that. ?Some people are lucky and can get the questions in advance, some people can't.What makes him feel uncomfortable now is that he has not passed any of the exams, but his brother-in-law alone is the current Tanhualang. He even heard that the emperor was hesitant about who should be the number one in the examination papers between him and the champion. Later, because of his The appearance is too handsome, Zhuangyuanlang was named the champion.

The limelight of this year's autumn was all on Lin Ruhai. Hearing people's admiration for him and comparing him with himself, Jia Zheng felt as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants gnawing on him, but his rationality told himself that he had to endure, so As soon as Mrs. Wang cried for poverty, he took calligraphy and paintings at random.

Jia Shishi stroked his son's head, full of joy, happy for the child's closeness to him, happy for Zheng'er's filial piety.Thinking that it would be a big deal to give those things from her private treasury to her daughter, so that she would remember her second brother's goodness.

During the autumn period, Lin Ruhai was really a blockbuster, coupled with his handsome appearance, Emperor Longchang appointed Lin Ruhai as Tanhua Lang on the spot, and betrothed Rong Guogong's daughter-in-law to him in the hall... When Jia Lan heard the news, He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that according to this posture, even if he had his own butterfly, he would still continue.

Jia Lan didn't go to see the No. [-] Scholar Parade, but heard that the maids praised Tan Hua Lang's handsomeness, and looked at Jun Zexuan, who looked a little ugly because Jia Lan asked how Tan Hua Lang was handsome, stepped forward and pulled him, and said with a smile: " No matter how handsome Tan Hua Lang is, he can't compare to your husband!"

Jun Zexuan was satisfied after hearing this.

The number one scholar was parading in the street, Jia Min restaurant looked at the handsome Tanhua Lang who was not boasted by everyone through the curtain, and his heart was very sweet. Compared with Prince An'an and Prince Rong, such a person was what she wanted in her heart husband.

The newly released disciples of the Son of Heaven rode their horses through the streets... Among them, the most admirable one was Lin Ruhai.

The young and handsome Tan Hua Lang was favored by the girls and aunts alone, throwing handkerchiefs and flowers over one by one, but Lin Ruhai hid in a bit of a panic, which made everyone even more excited.

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai who was passing by under the window, even though his appearance was a little messed up, he just thought it looked good.Thinking about it this way, she felt that her thoughts were too unreserved, so Jia Min turned around quickly and covered her face.

Looking at her daughter's blushing face, Jia Shishi heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that there is some comparison, her son-in-law's talent and appearance are naturally top-notch talents, and the marriage with the Lin family did not lose face, after all, is it the master's opinion? In any case, her own daughter is not married for nothing.

Emperor Longchang personally acted as a matchmaker. Although Jun Zeyang was unwilling that such a beauty would never be with him, but under the reminder of the concubine Xian, he found that his father did not like such behavior, so he had to let it go and prepare to marry him in Rongguo. When Gong Jia Daishan married his daughter, he offered generous gifts.

The Lin family and the Jia family already had a tacit understanding, and on the third day they sent the official media to propose marriage, and after the Rongguo Mansion agreed, Jia Lan also received the notice.

Lin Ruhai had one month to worship his ancestors. Although he had no close relatives, his clan lived in Gusu. Lin Ruhai returned to Gusu to worship his ancestors after the Jia family agreed.

"Since Simei likes to send someone to talk about it, or I send someone to give you a set every month, why do you need to come to the door in person?" The Jia family will not come to see me if there is nothing to do, but they used to write letters to me Jia Hu also gave up feeling sorry for her, but she didn't expect Jia Min, who came to the door just after getting engaged, Jia Lan was a little strange.Hearing that she wanted to write the top-notch rouge gouache and the fragrance dew that she had given before, she agreed directly.

After getting engaged, she was supposed to embroider the dowry at home and wait for the Lin family to hire her, but because her second elder brother fell ill suddenly, her second sister-in-law was pregnant, and her wife was too busy worrying about them, Jia Min couldn't sit still at home, so she begged After leaving Jia Zhang's family, let Jia Amnesty send her to Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion to talk to Jia Lan.And the fragrance Jia Lan gave her before is very good, drink a cup before going to bed every day, sleep soundly all night, only feel refreshed in the morning, even the skin is much better.That's why I thought about whether I could ask for a little bit, and take a breath by the way.

"I haven't congratulated my sister yet, I found a good son-in-law. I heard that our Tanhualang is very handsome." Seeing that Jia Min changed from his previous sad face and his face was rosy, Jia Lan was also happy for her. No matter what the future holds, At least for now, she is willing and happy to marry Lin Ruhai.

Jia Min lowered her head in embarrassment, and murmured, "Sister, why are you saying this? You're so ashamed. You haven't been hired yet, so it's inappropriate to be so arrogant!"

"What's wrong?" Jia Lan asked back: "The emperor's golden mouth bestowed the marriage, and the Lin family immediately sent a matchmaker to the door. It can be seen how anxious they are. Besides, isn't it right to go to worship the ancestors in high school? After talking about the ancestors, come back I'm going to hire you, the date is set, does my sister still think it's inappropriate?"

Jia Min laughed foolishly when he heard the words, and after a while, his face changed again. He looked at Jia Lan, bit his lips and said what was on his mind: "I don't know if he really wants to or is it just because of it? I don't know if he likes it or not." Like me like this? Third sister, I'm very confused? Is his family getting along well, and is there anyone he likes around him?"

After Jia Lan heard her finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked someone to take a hand mirror from her dressing table. The mirror was clearly visible, and she put it in Jia Min's hand, teasing: "Fourth sister, look at your mirror in the mirror." The skin is like creamy fat, the face is like a peach blossom... Is there anyone who doesn't like your appearance? Tan Hualang is not blind, you have talent, good looks, family background and dowry, why worry that he doesn't like you, What you want is, what can Tan Hualang do if he likes you too much?"

Jia Min held the hand mirror and looked at his image in the mirror. He blushed when he heard the words, and said that he would tear Jia Lan's mouth, but his hand was very honest, and he kept holding the hand mirror in his hand.

"No matter how much my sister likes it, this is what my sister used. I still have a new one in my library. I will give it to you later. You take it back and look at it day and night, and you will find that you are the most beautiful person in the world. Guaranteed that you haven't captivated Tan Hualang, you should fascinate yourself first!" Jia Lan looked at Jia Min with her chin on her shoulders, thinking that Jia Min is so beautiful, and she doesn't know how beautiful the future goddess can be?It is a kind of enjoyment to watch a beauty cry, but it seems to be a kind of enjoyment to watch a beauty think of spring.

Jia Min stomped her feet shyly when she heard the words, and said in embarrassment: "Sister San, you are becoming more and more dishonest! Why are you like this!"

Jia Lan asked with a smile: "How about me? I mean Fourth Sister! Where are you now? Just relax and embroider your wedding dress in your boudoir, take a rest in the morning and evening, and run with Lian'er in the garden , practice your body, don't worry too much, and when you get married, you will give birth to a fat boy for Tan Hualang, and the entire Lin family will definitely support you."

After finishing speaking, Jia Lan also invited the doctor in the mansion to come over and give Jia Min a pulse. He said that although Jia Min was a little weak, he was healthy on the whole and did not need to take medicine.

"Have you heard that before, go back and take care of yourself. I have given you a few recipes for diet therapy. You can learn them yourself and let the kitchen make them for you to eat. Every day you think running and jumping is indecent, just practice. It’s always good to dance, or go wandering in the garden. The medicine is three-point poisonous, and drinking too much will ruin your bones.” It’s not that Jia Lan likes this sister so much, but Jia Min is close to her, and she doesn’t object Yes, she is a good girl, and Jia Lan hopes that she will live well.

When Jia Min heard this, her eyes turned red, and she looked at Jia Lan gratefully. Although the wife and the third sister didn't like each other, they treated her well. What, she remembered this kindness.Blessed Fushen, nodded and said: "Thank you, sister, sister has written it down."

Holding two bottles of fragrance dew, a box of rouge water powder, and a few dietotherapy prescriptions handwritten by Jia Lan, Jia Min returned home contentedly.

"Since it's a good thing, I don't necessarily offer it on my own initiative. I've never seen someone so ruthless." When Jia Shishi heard that Jia Min had gone to Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion, he was in a bad mood. Holding the things given to him cherishedly, he felt that Jia Lan was stingy and unfilial.

Jia Min handed the things in her hand to the maid beside her, stepped forward and took Jia Shishi's hand and shook gently: "Ma'am! These are no longer available in the market, they all entered the palace, and the third sister's place is too." Not many, and now that Xiangbaozhai is not hers, she is already content to be able to spare these daughters."

"My son is kind... Well, I don't say anything, but you say that their family doctor said you are a little weak, do you feel unwell? Ask the imperial doctor to show you a good life tomorrow? Then don't be disgusted with the medicine. The juice is bitter, not good to drink." Jia Shishi said that because Jia Zheng is better today, and Zhu'er has been praised by her husband, she is in a good mood, and she doesn't want to say that irrelevant people have offended her daughter, so she doesn't say anything.

Jia Min nodded, she was looking forward to a healthy body, and she also knew that his wife was doing it for her own good, but what the third sister said was not bad, the medicine is three-point poisonous, it depends on what the imperial physician will say tomorrow!
