The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Although she didn't know the exact thoughts in Concubine Zhen's heart, Mrs. Zhen was more vigilant, but she didn't give up her expectations at all. There were a lot of fights among the women in the palace, not only for the favor, but also for their sons. The palace, with Concubine Zhen pressing down on it, will not be in a high position for a while.A family with two daughters entering the palace is like this.If what Concubine Zhen said was true, her daughter would be less frustrated when entering the palace. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhen became a lot more kind to Concubine Zhen, and the harmony between the two became more and more harmonious. They held hands while talking and laughing.

"Mother..." Nine years ago, when Emperor Longchang was crowned prince, Zhen Xianya had already been educated to know her future.Being taught by her mother a lot about Emperor Longchang's habits and her sister's affairs, Zhen Xianya is not irresistible, but becoming the most honorable woman in the world has made her let go of all her reluctance, even without her parents reminding her, she is strict. Ask herself, no matter how difficult it is to say, she is studying hard.

Mrs. Zhen looked at her daughter's beautiful face. Her daughter was only 15 years old this year, and her body was well developed. Every word and deed, even the occasional small movements, made her suddenly feel like the eldest daughter was reborn. She knew that her daughter was not bad. When Mrs. Zhen returned home, she told all the words and deeds of Concubine Zhen in the palace in detail.

Zhen Xianya frowned. The behavior of my sister-in-law was different from what she had estimated before. She pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't mother going to visit relatives and friends? Try to find out about my sister's affairs in the palace. In addition, Ying Jia should also come back. Ask him, and the people around him. Let's see how to act after asking clearly?"

Mrs. Zhen nodded. What her daughter said was on point. It was impossible for her to get a high position at the beginning of entering the palace, and it was even impossible for her to be promoted for a long time. So if Concubine Zhen really wanted to help, it would be great. If it's not sincere, she naturally doesn't need to be merciful, even if she has the prince by her side, she won't be favored, and without the financial support of the Zhen family, she will not have a good time in the palace.

"Since the empress wants you to tell me, just tell me." Jia Lan didn't know what Concubine Zhen was thinking, but she said that Concubine Zhen wanted her to mention in her ear that Concubine Zhen was not favored recently. The concubines bullied her and asked her to accompany him back to Jia's mansion to Muxiu, Jia Lan directly agreed.In fact, even if she shouldn't, she has no right to stop it.

Concubine Zhen is in a bad mood recently. Jia Lan has already guessed from Princess Baoqing that Princess Baoqing has become more and more gloomy recently. I heard from Nishang that when she repaid her daily life to Concubine Zhen, she saw the relationship between Concubine Zhen and Princess Baoqing. There seemed to be some contradictions between them. When Princess Baoqing left the Concubine Zhen's palace, her eyes were red, and she even kicked the maid next to her.

Concubine Zhen did not hide the fact that Mrs. Zhen brought her daughter into the palace. Jia Lan also knew about it. It's not sure, but the only certainty is that the Zhen family will definitely not be the winners in the future.But this is more than ten or even twenty years later, but Jia Lan is not in a hurry for the Zhen family to be in a high position for a long time.

Although it is a ten-day rest, because of Jia Lan's health at the beginning, he was allowed to return to Jia's house on the [-]th day of his stay. She went back to Jia's house with the two maids given to her by Concubine Zhen.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Jia Lan saw Jia Daishan who was waiting for him at the side. He was very pleasantly surprised and ran over without regard to etiquette, tugging at his skirt, and when he looked up, his big wet eyes full of joy were directly reflected in Jia Daishan's eyes , as soon as Jia Lan grabbed Jia Daishan, his eyes turned red, and he asked timidly, "Daddy, I miss you."

Different from what other children called Master Jia Daishan, Jia Lan called him Daddy since he was a child. Later, although his aunt reminded him, he also called him Master outside, but in private he always missed it a few times.

The Jia Lan that Jia Daishan saw was always well-behaved. Although she was annoyed and ashamed at first because she said something wrong about Jia Shishi in the palace, but later felt that her daughter was always timid and could not tell lies, so He also guessed that she didn't do it on purpose.Seeing her daughter's pitiful appearance now, she felt that what Jia Shishi said that day might be different from the truth.

Jia Daishan still liked Jia Lan a little bit, and seeing how she had lost a lot of weight just a few days after entering the palace, he felt more and more compassionate, so he showed his face, and took her hand together. carriage, and then asked about her affairs in the palace.

Jia Lan didn't hide anything, she just said that she didn't know why the empress was angry that day, and that both the empress and her mother told her to tell the truth, but the emperor came soon after she finished speaking, and then her legs hurt so much, and then People fainted.

"The female doctor at the Tai Hospital has great hands. I cried for several days, and then wanted to go home... I haven't learned what the master said, and I have been beaten several times. Daddy, look..." Jia Lan talked pitifully about her affairs in the palace, and even showed Jia Daishan the redness and swelling on her hand, because she knew that she was going back to Jia's house, so she deliberately didn't take the medicine.Her skin is fair, and her skin is extremely thin, even a little force will leave marks, so the hand that was hit three days ago is still blue.

Jia Daishan was also very surprised when he saw it. After three days, his hand still looked like this. He suddenly felt a little distressed. He stretched out his hand and gently lined up on her shoulder, and then said: "In a few days, wait After Shaoyao and Huier have learned the rules, they will go back to serve you, and then you don’t have to be afraid. Dad will tell your teacher that you have a weak foundation and tell him not to be too harsh.”

"Can't I go home?" Jia Lan tilted her head, sniffed and coquettishly said, "I'm like Dad, I miss my brother, I miss my sister-in-law, I miss Chen's mother, I also miss Hu'er and my younger sister, my mother, and... Daddy, I want to go home."

"Lan'er is obedient, it's the Holy Majesty's will to be a companion. You should serve the princess well in the palace, learn your skills well, and don't let daddy worry about it?" Jia Lan's pitiful appearance inspired Jia Daishan's fatherly love. Heart, he sighed, and comforted softly: "The masters in the palace are a hundred times better than those at home, Lan'er must study hard."

"Can I go home after I learn my skills?" Jia Lan looked at Jia Daishan and asked naively.

Jia Daishan nodded, seeing his daughter so innocent, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, can the two girls take good care of her?Do you want to ask for a will and get an old mother to remind me?However, he gave up on this idea as soon as he thought about it. Although he is His Majesty's confidant, he never participated in palace affairs.

During the conversation, the carriage drove to the East Street, and Jia Lan was almost surprised to say what he should have said. Then, listening to the bustling voices outside, he felt a little hopeful.

Jia Daishan looked at her childish look from the side, Yang Chun smiled and said, "Would you like to go down and have a look?" The daughter is young, although there is a hindrance between men and women, but Jia Lan is a bit round and low in stature. He looks like six or seven years old, so once in a while, it doesn't matter.

Jia Lan opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and nodded in surprise.In addition to deliberately showing the appearance of a child, there are also some meanings of wanting to see this era.

Jia Daishan was born as a military general. Although he wanted his family to be closer to the literati, it was not too pedantic, so after Jia Lan nodded, he took her out of the carriage.

The capital is originally the most prosperous place, and the East Street is even the busiest place. Jia Lan once saw the picture of Shanghe River during the Qingming Festival, but the picture was abstract, but the scene in front of him did exist, although it would not be crowded with people But businessmen, gentry strolling in the streets, officials riding horses, peddlers, family members sitting in sedan chairs, fortune-telling fortune-tellers, and all kinds of restaurants and shops...Men, women, old and young, there are no scholars, farmers, businessmen, or businessmen. Unprepared.Eight years after rebirth, it was the first time for Jia Lan to see such a bustling scene. The quaint streets were full of everything. Jia Lan missed the feasting and feasting in his heart, so he was a little dazzled and didn't need to pretend.

Jia Daishan had never taken anyone on the street before, even he didn't have two sons, so he introduced his daughter with some interest because of his curiosity.

"Daddy, let's go back!" After Jia Lan followed Jia Daishan for a while, the curiosity in Jia Lan's heart disappeared. Okay, besides, Jia Lan also became a little impatient after seeing Jia Daishan talking for a while.

Jia Daishan brought Jia Lan back to the mansion. Hearing that Mrs. Zhen brought her daughter to visit, he didn't intend to send Jia Lan back to the back house in person. The young servant who has married her, Qingyu, who is serving in the study, comes to send Jia Lan to greet Jia Shishi.

"Sister Qingyu!" Jia Lan used to be raised by Jia Zhou's side, and she was very familiar with Qingyu, so when she saw Qingyu, she smiled and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so she will serve the master again?"

"Miss San can't be called Sister Qingyu now, she should be called Chen An's." Another little girl who helped move things said with a smile.

Jia Lan nodded and said shyly, "I forgot again. Mother Chen told me that my sister is married and she is going to be called Sister-in-law Chen."

"Miss, how can you say it so easily! The servant is still hoping that the third lady will call the servant younger!" Qingyu smiled and walked half a step away from Jia Lan.After walking for a while, Qingyu moved to Jia Lan's side, and said softly, "Miss, you must say something bad about the things in the palace..." Because this is the only way for the wife to calm down.

Jia Lan lowered her head when she heard the words. How could she not understand Jia Shishi's thoughts, so she pouted and said in a low voice: "I'm too stupid. If the fourth sister was in the palace, she would definitely not be beaten by the master. I don't know anything. meeting."
