The Concubine of the Red Chamber

After Jun Zexuan left, Jia Lan didn't feel sleepy. After thinking about it, she couldn't think of any better way. The fifth prince is no longer favored, and they are all princes. , as long as the eighth prince listens and stops disturbing him, he won't do anything to him for a while.After figuring it out, Jia Lan felt that Nanny Shen's family could use it.Jia Lan had always wanted to do something before, but it was inconvenient in Jia's house, and there was no one available. Now, Shenmao's family didn't sound lazy, so Jia Lan thought about what he could do?

There are not many things Jia Lan can do. After thinking about it, she thinks it would be more appropriate to open a rouge and gouache shop first. Her mother used to work in a cosmetics company, and she taught herself a lot about beauty since she was a child. She also made some cosmetics by hand. , most of today's rouge and gouache contain heavy lead. Jia Lan understands the damage of lead to the skin. She can still use makeup because she is young, but it will definitely be unavoidable in the future, so it is better to open a shop by herself. .

"I think this mammy's family are people who need to use it. Now I have some spare money. I want to open a rouge shop. Mammy will see if it's feasible?" Jia Lan called Shen mama in after thinking of this.

Seeing that Jia Lan wanted to use her son and son-in-law, Mother Shen was very grateful, and said repeatedly that it was possible.

"In that case, I will write a letter, and Mammy sent someone to send it to Nanny Liu. Dacheng, the brother of Mammy's family, went to find out what other rouge shops sell, and to find out if there are any rouge masters. Find a good shop. In addition, plant some flowers and trees in the Zhuangzi, let my sister-in-law Liu and his father take care of them, and my sister’s family, after the plants in the shop are planted, I will go to help, and now I will teach the children in the Zhuangzi how to read." Jia Lan took out 200 taels of silver bills from the box, and handed them to Nanny Shen together with the written letter for her to send out.

Jia Lan didn't want too many people to know about the Eighth Prince. She didn't need to think about it. Even Jia Daishan would not stand up for herself. Even the Emperor didn't know about the Eighth Prince's amnesia, and Jia Lan didn't dare to tell Jia Daishan. .Not to mention whether anyone believed it, she guessed that she would have been silenced before the word got out.Even Shen Nanny had mentioned something specifically to Jia Lan, so only she and Hui'er knew about Shen Nanny.

"Can Mother Shen and the others believe it?" Hui'er also knew the seriousness, and asked a little worried.

Jia Lan shook her head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you and I just need to keep our mouths shut, this matter must not be known by anyone else."

Hui'er stretched out her hand to hold Jia Lan in her arms, and said with great distress: "It's better not to enter the palace!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that Sister Hui'er doesn't know. If I were in the mansion, I'd better be just like the eldest sister and the second sister. Where can I learn my skills and raise my status like this?" Companion reader It's Qingyun Road, Jia Lan understands her situation, and the matter has come to this point, so she won't say hypocritically that she doesn't want to be a companion.

"The princes are about to get married, and their mother and concubine should also be mentioned!" After meeting Zhen Xianya in the Concubine Zhen's palace, Emperor Longchang felt that although Concubine Zhen was a little jealous, she was still thinking of herself wholeheartedly. What a pity, although he is very satisfied with the young and beautiful Zhen Xianya, but Concubine Zhen has been with him for so many years, and has given birth to a son and a daughter, and now her sons have reached the age of marriage, so before the draft, Emperor Longchang The queen specifically ordered it down.

Empress Xu was dissatisfied in her heart, but she did not dare to stop it. Now that the prince is not in good health, she has been deeply afraid that the emperor will abolish the prince for this reason, so she agreed, but she also persuaded the emperor to only give the old prince the birth mother. Sealing is a grace for the princes, and it will be nice to refer to marriage when the time comes.Emperor Longchang mainly wanted to confer a title on Concubine Zhen, so he directly agreed to this proposal.Seeing this, the queen felt a little more relaxed. What she was looking forward to most now was the prince's wedding and the early birth of a grandson.

Before the draft, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit tense. The Queen's announcement of the promotion at this time has won a lot of favor. According to Emperor Longchang's will, Concubine An's status does not need to be moved. Concubine Chen, the concubine of the prince and mother, was granted the title of wife by Jin, and Concubine Zhen got the position of Xian concubine.However, the canonization ceremony has to wait for the newcomer to enter the palace, but the rules and titles have all changed.

"This way I can live up to the grievances I have suffered during this period." Concubine Xian is very satisfied with this. Now that the high-scoring positions are full, Zhen Xianya will be favored again. In the future, there will be no more than one concubine. It can be regarded as his wish.

"Where is Fifth Miss?" Seeing the master's happy look, Ping Momo hastily reminded that since the emperor visited Miss Zhen Wu, Concubine Xian has not seen her and placed her in the side hall.

Zhen Xianya also knew that she made Concubine Zhen feel uncomfortable. Although she knew that there would be no harmony between them, she felt aggrieved in her heart. How could she stop the emperor's blessing?

"Why do you..." Concubine Xian looked at Zhen Xianya and said, "Can you drink Bizi soup?"

Afterwards, Zhen Xianya drank the concubine's avoiding soup in front of the maid, but vomited behind her back, but she still nodded to the concubine and said, "Drink it if you go back to your mother!"

"Just drink it. If something goes wrong, it won't look good. I'm fine now, so you can go out of the palace today! When it's time for the draft, I will cover it up for you!" Concubine Xian said indifferently, She knew that Zhen Xianya vomited, and it was the medicine for pregnancy. On that day, she asked people to boil two kinds of medicine, one was the medicine for pregnancy, which was boiled before Emperor Longchang stayed overnight, and the other was a contraceptive, which was boiled temporarily, but Now that the peonies in front of the window have been watered, she had asked Zhen Xianya about her health before, so she knew that she was very easy to get pregnant these days, if she was pregnant, she would look good during the draft, if not, she would still be pregnant There are other means.So after finishing speaking, he said: "The emperor said that this time it is mainly for the prince to marry. There will not be many people entering the harem, and the status will naturally not be very high. However, the emperor is quite satisfied with you, at least you will be a concubine. You You can bring a servant into the palace. Nowadays, the queen is in charge of the palace, and the queen is the most compliant person. But I am your sister after all. You ask your mother to find a caring one to send over in advance, and I will give it to you when the time comes. "

"Big sister, I've made a note of this, and I will definitely want to repay it in the future." The concubine's position was similar to what the family had guessed, Zhen Xianya breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly knelt on the ground and thanked her.

"This is the end of the matter, I only mentioned it once. Now that you are being watched by everyone in the palace, you go back and ask your mother to screen it carefully. Among the two people brought into the palace, it is best to have one who is proficient in medicine. I don't care Maybe you are watching you all the time, and besides, you might not believe the people arranged by the palace. Let it be like this!" Concubine Xian's expression was a little cold, but she still reminded: "My younger sister's entry into the palace represents the entire Zhen family, you must know One prospers, one prospers, one loses all."

After Zhen Xianya knelt on the ground and claimed yes, Concubine Xian asked someone to send her out of the palace.Zhen Xianya returned home and told her mother about the affairs in the palace. Mrs. Zhen knew why Concubine Zhen had entered Xian Concubine at this time, and comforted her daughter, telling her not to fight with Concubine Xian when she entered the palace. Let's talk about being favored in the future, a celebrity invited a familiar doctor Wang to feel Zhen Xianya's pulse, and was very afraid that the concubine Xian would harm her in just a few days.

"Miss has a steady pulse and is in good health." After taking the pulse, Imperial Physician Wang did not find anything wrong. Although he also saw that Zhen Xianya had lost her body, but she just came out of the palace, Imperial Physician Wang dared not say anything.I have checked the medicinal materials rewarded by the concubine Xian, and they are all of the best quality.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhen was completely relieved, and immediately asked someone to send the old nanny who she had arranged for Zhen Xianya to the palace.Concubine Xian didn't have any difficulties, she just sent people to learn the rules.

Jia Min's birthday is September 28th, and the day when Jia Lan returned to the mansion was September [-]th, and the mansion already knew about Concubine Zhen's appointment as Concubine Xian.Although Jia Lan couldn't catch up with Jia Min's birthday, so after a while the mansion invited Ann, and after Jia Shishi told Jia Shishi about the Jinfeng in the palace, Jia Shishi asked carefully, but Jia Lan didn't know, so he didn't know, so he just said Concubine Zhen fell ill before, and the fifth miss of the Zhen family went to the palace to serve the sick for a few days.Seeing that she didn't know anything, Jia Shishi let her back out.Jia Lan went to Jia Min's residence, and gave her the birthday gift prepared for Jia Min.What Jia Lan prepared was a handkerchief embroidered with begonias and a box of palace flowers from the palace.Although the etiquette is not heavy, the handkerchief was embroidered by Jia Lan himself, which can be regarded as dedication. Jia Min was not dissatisfied with this, but asked about life in Jia Lan's palace in detail.

"So much homework?" Jia Min heard that he was like a man, learning all six arts, besides poetry, rites, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is also riding and archery.She already knew from her mother that she would also enter the palace next year, so she didn't worry about anything else, but riding and shooting...

"Many courses are just a matter of understanding. I heard from Sister Wu that riding and archery is nothing more than learning how to ride a horse and hold a bow at the beginning. It is said that it is a middle class, but it is just some recipes. I know when to order what dishes, and I don’t know how to do it myself. Cooking. Appreciating poems, songs and fus of gold and stone is nothing more than learning one person who is interested. The masters say that there is no limit to learning, and it is easy to get distracted if you learn too much, so you can only appreciate it." After Jia Lan finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed Said: "My qualifications are mediocre, and I can't learn many things!"

Jia Lan covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words: "Sister, you don't have to be too modest. My sister's handwriting and female celebrities are good. Since you know that learning too much is easy to get distracted, you might as well practice calligraphy and learn female celebrities."

"Sister said it is very true!" Jia Lan finished laughing, turned her head to Zhang Shi and said, "I realized only after entering the palace that elder brother is actually talented, and he is the most proficient in the way of gold and stone."

Jia Zheng's wedding date is set in November, and Jia Shishi wanted to give Jia Zheng a good look, so naturally he didn't want Zhang to be an eyesore in front of him, so he asked Jia Min and Jia She to take good care of his father and son, and ordered him to share some housekeeping power. Give it to her, and concentrate on organizing her son's marriage.Zhang and Jia Min have literary talents, and they have always been able to talk together.When Jia Lan gave Jia Min a birthday gift, Mrs. Zhang happened to be here to buy winter clothes for Jia Min. Now that Jia Hu is studying with Mr. Qingyuan, she is already in a good mood, so Jia Lan said with a smile: "Don't dare to say this in your elder brother's ear. He has already fallen into a demon, so how can you pay it off?"

"Big brother is considered enlightened after all, but I have learned nine out of ten senses, and only one thing is not clear, but my sister-in-law made fun of me!" Jia Lan laughed to herself after teasing herself.Jia Min and Zhang Shi laughed together, yelling that their stomach hurts.
