The Concubine of the Red Chamber

The mother of the old lady of the Zhen family also came from the historian family, she was the aunt of the Jia Shi family. Confidant, so the relationship is also very close. At the beginning, Jia Shishi had a very good relationship with Miss Zhen's family, so the relationship with Concubine Zhen was very ordinary before she went out of the way. Later, Concubine Zhen married into the prince's mansion and became a concubine. Because she felt that she was the wife of the Duke, she had not had many contacts. Later, when Emperor Longchang ascended the throne and Concubine Zhen gained power, she was a little arrogant for a while. The second time I mentioned it, the contact was not very enthusiastic.

"This is..." After the Zhen family came in, Jia Shishi had someone greet him at the gate. When he saw Zhen Xianya, he was stunned and murmured incredulously.

"Aunt..." After Jia Shishi was stunned for a moment, she realized that her family's idea of ​​sending the girl to the palace was unfeasible. With such a face and her sister's fate, who can compete with it?So he was silent, took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, stretched out his hand to hold Zhen Xianya and sobbed, and said after a while: "My aunt didn't say a word. In the past, I had so many friends, but the only one I admired was sister Zhen's family. Although the two of us It's only two years away, and she's always been as good as one person. But she just left us, and she didn't even see her face to face. How can I not be sad when I see my sister today?" After finishing speaking, she endured I couldn't help sobbing.

The old lady Zhen naturally also thought of her daughter who died young, seeing Jia Shishi crying so sincerely, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, even Zhen Xianya and Jia Min who accompanied her also shed tears along with her.The maid and mother-in-law were relieved for a long time, then slowly stopped and started talking about other things.

"My aunt is in her prime now." After Jia Shishi stopped crying, he pulled Zhen Xianya and asked her carefully about her hobbies, what did she do at home in the past?He also talked about various customs in Beijing, and finally asked Jia Min to take her to the back to tidy up and play together, and then let someone come in to serve, and then said to Mrs. Zhen.

The old lady Zhen cleaned her face, rearranged her appearance under the service of the girl, and then said: "Alas... there are few people who are perfect in history. I lost a girl back then, and it seemed like I died once. Finally, I got it again. This one is really afraid of breaking in the hand, and afraid of melting in the mouth. But she looks so much like her sister, and it would be fine if she didn't. Pick a neat one, and have a home Helping, isn't it a good thing? But now there is only one way to go, I really can't sleep well every night..."

"Although I say that, it's good that my sister has such good luck. Don't say anything else, just our family will make my sister feel comfortable inside." Jia Shishi quickly relieved: "Actually... if it wasn't for My aunt and my younger sister are going to Beijing, I am actually relieved, otherwise I would have written to my aunt."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhen asked in surprise.

Jia Shishi knew her aunt well. She married into the Zhen family because of her collateral status, and then resolutely entered the palace because of the empress dowager's affection. She was most greedy for power, but also because this concubine was very popular in the mansion. A lot of aggrieved.So he asked the person next to him to go out, and said softly: "It's not that I talk too much, the master in the palace... has really gone too far recently."

"My aunt is the most generous and loving person, and sister Zhen's temperament was the most virtuous and dignified at the beginning, but... Aunt probably doesn't know, the third princess..." Jia Shishi explained the reason why Princess Baoqing changed her companion. Finally, he said: "If the Holy Majesty hadn't handled it properly, not only the three princesses, but also the reputation of the Zhen family..."

"She is the most domineering at home. At the beginning, because I was going to be a wet nurse, I didn't care about family affairs at all. She was taught by her aunt. What can I say? I don't know how many times I mentioned it when I entered the mansion. , told her to be cautious in her words and deeds, but she just didn't listen to her, and she became impatient when she talked too much. I'm also surprised that it's like this now, and I just hope that Xianya won't be hurt before she loses all the dignity of the Zhen family!" Zhenya The old lady was very angry after hearing this. She had already learned about these things from her grandson, but she still felt that Concubine Zhen couldn't even support you, and couldn't even raise a daughter well.But it's better this way, when her Ya'er enters the palace, she won't be able to make a fortune.

From Mrs. Zhen's words, Jia Shishi knew that he had made a good move. At this time, someone outside reported that Jia Lan had come back to greet him. Jia Shishi said directly: "Tell Sister Lan, I am going I have a guest, let her come back later!"

Sairan curled his lips at the old lady Zhen, and said affectionately: "My aunt doesn't know, I also have a worry here, the one in the palace is not only thinking about it, but brought such a concubine into the palace to be the third princess' companion." Read. Don’t be afraid of my aunt’s jokes, I’ve lost all face when I brought her into the palace last time.” As she spoke, she said that Concubine Zhen wanted Jia’s daughter to enter the palace, but she refused because Jia Min was unwell, but Concubine Zhen still insisted. Getting Jia Lan into the palace and setting a trap for himself made people feel that he was unkind.

Mrs. Zhen nodded her head knowingly, then frowned and said, "You also know what your mother is like, but I thought she would make a big fuss when I brought Sister Ya to Beijing this time, but it happened that I cut it a few days ago. Afterwards, it turned out to be soft, but I’m not sure, you’ve been in Beijing for a long time, and the Duke is working in the palace, what do you think is going on here?”

"Ruanhe?" Jia Shishi frowned upon hearing this and said, "It's indeed a bit unusual, I only know that His Majesty was a little angry because of what happened to the third princess before, but because of the face of the sixth prince, it didn't make her look bad. But her temperament is not like this, I'll ask someone to check it out, and I'll tell you the result." He paused here, and then asked his confidant Lai everyone to tell Jia Lan and the people around her.

After Jia Lan returned to her room, she saw Mother Chen, who had worn down a lot in less than a month, and felt a little warm and distressed in her heart, so she kept her by her side and asked about what happened after she left.

"Thank you, Mom." After Jia Lan entered the palace, Jia Shishi wanted to take action against the people around Jia Lan, but Jia Daishan felt sorry for her, so he was not allowed to intervene in the affairs of Jia Lan's room.But even so, they have suffered a lot, and Mother Chen is the worst.

"Mom, I won't be able to find out for a while. I'm really worried that you're in the mansion. How about you go to Liu Mama? I also have some spare money. If you feel bored, open a shop. It's better to let brother-in-law study outside to learn skills, than to be trapped in the mansion." Mother Chen and Huier are the most loyal people to her besides her biological mother. Huier is now engaged, and Mother Chen Outside, you can also be more convenient.

After taking care of Jia Lan's washing, Mother Chen helped her to wipe her hair, and said softly, "As long as the girl is well, I can do whatever I want. Our family is not honest, so don't make trouble for the girl. Now the house doesn't know That Zhuangzi belongs to a girl, and it is enough for Madam Liu and her family to take care of it. I will stay in the mansion and wait for the girl to come out and serve you. As for your nanny, don’t worry about it. Now he is working in front of Master Hu. Boy, you can also learn some skills."

"Mom is looking forward to my well-being, and I am also looking forward to my mother's well-being. My wife doesn't like me, so I really don't want you to be wronged." Jia Lan said softly when she heard the words. In her opinion, it is naturally better to be outside than to be in the house, but I also know that not everyone thinks that way.

When Jia Lan was chatting with Chen's mother, Lai everyone used Jia Shi's name to say that he came to see Jia Lan. Seeing that Chen's mother and Jia Lan's eyes were a little red, after saying a few words, he pulled Nishang's hand said: "The girl really came out of the palace. With her appearance and demeanor, compared with the girl, these girls in our house are really like burnt paper."

After Nishang was praised, she felt a little displeased, everyone Lai gestured with her eyes, and Jia Shishi's big girl Yunque who came with her pulled another girl Yanzhi who was out of the palace with Jia Lan affectionately. while talking.

Nishang was already quite clever, but because of Concubine Zhen's suggestion, she smirked at everyone Lai innocently, and when she saw the huge gemstone hairpin on her head, she straightened her eyes.

"This kind of thing is also worthy of a girl's character. I am a burnt paper, how can I be worthy?" The hairpin on Lai's head was a good thing from Jia Shishi. She saw the neon clothes. After the performance, he smiled and took off the hairpin and stuck it on the head of the neon clothes with a smile.

The offerings that Concubine Zhen gets from the Zhen family are limited every year, and the neon clothes belong to her palace, but it's just a combination of grace and power, so she won't win over many people.Nishang didn't expect to get such a good thing when going out of the palace, she was overjoyed immediately, and after a while she became extremely affectionate with everyone Lai, and said everything she could say about the taboo things with her master when she went out of the palace.

Everyone Lai was not in a hurry, and slowly said these words, from Nishang's few words, he also knew a lot about the affairs of Concubine Zhen's palace, and at the same time asked about Jia Lan's affairs in the palace.

"It's really difficult for Concubine Zhen to be in the palace. Even the third princess has not been favored in the past. Concubine Zhen has also given someone to the sage, but she is not favored." Shi Shi said it all: "The third girl only saw Concubine Zhen once when she was in the palace and she was leaving the palace."

"From this point of view, Xu has no choice but to bow his head because of his current situation. After all, regardless of the future, it is good for her that Sister Ya'er enters the palace now." When Jia Shishi asked, he did not avoid old lady Zhen, The old lady Zhen also listened seriously.
