The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Although Jia Lan couldn't understand what the fifth prince was thinking, she could tell that Jun Zexuan attached great importance to Jun Zexuan before she got married, and she didn't make it difficult for herself.The father of Emperor Longchang, Jia Lan, didn't see much, but it could be seen that he didn't care much about Jun Zexuan's son. The only person in the entire palace who cared about Jun Zexuan was the fifth prince. Although her dowry was Mrs. Zhang helped take care of her, but it is impossible for Mrs. Jia to do nothing in it. Jia Lan has been trapped in the boudoir since she was a child, and the only people she can really trust around her are Mama Chen and Huier. Without being around, she will never touch those dowries for the time being, even the affairs of Zhuangzi, she can't take care of them, let alone the dowry that the Jia family gave her.Although the two brothers Jun Zexuan and Jun Zexuan are only seven years apart, there is indeed a strong brotherhood, which is quite rare in the royal family. Among the princes, Jun Zexuan will pose the least threat in the future, and no matter what happens in the future, They will all be from the Junze series.Jun Zexi is about to get married and join politics, so he must not be without money. This investment is absolutely necessary, and he can't use it anyway.Jia Lan remembers that the Jia family spent millions of taels to build the Grand View Garden, so the prince's 25 taels of Anjia silver is far from it, so although they have a very generous dowry, the two brothers definitely still lack money. money.

Although Jun Zexuan loves his younger brother, it is impossible to stare at him for everything. Jia Lan looks well-behaved and doesn't like to cause trouble. Although his background is a bit low, he gets along very well with Jun Zexuan. Seeing that his younger brother's spirit has improved significantly recently , now it is no longer the blue color it used to be, and the occasional tyranny is much less, but many habits have changed with Jia Lan, Jun Zezhen is relieved and also feels bitter, but he is relieved after being teased by Gu Qingyan .

Concubine Gu died young, and the Gu family was on the wrong team in the early years. Except that Mr. Gu is still based in Beijing because of his daughter, Concubine Gu, now he is naturally low-key and cannot be low-key anymore.Moreover, I heard that Mr. Gu, who is now in charge of the family, is not very strong. The one with the official position is Gu Qingyan's father, but now he is just a military officer without real power, the other three concubines are all incompetent, the three daughters are married far away, and the rest is the current concubine Gu.Although he didn't know the reason, Jia Lan could still feel that Jun Zexuan and his brothers, even Gu Qingyan, didn't like Gu Pin very much, and Gu Pin rarely had contact with them.After getting married, she was not even summoned by Concubine Gu, and neither Jun Zexuan nor Jun Zexuan mentioned the matter of asking her to visit her.

Winning the heir is never an easy matter, Jia Lan does not believe that Jun Zexuan does not have this idea, compared to other people, Jia Lan naturally hopes that he will take the position, but he also said no, Jun Zexuan could not sit in that seat due to his own reasons, Jia Lan had no idea about this.Although Jun Zezhen is not favored, but Jia Lan analyzed that it is quite possible for him to be in power. The prince’s health is not as healthy as that of Emperor Longchang. Secondly, the sixth prince born by the concubine Xian is also impossible. After all, the Zhen family will The house was ransacked.The fourth prince was too arrogant, and the arm of the seventh prince was severely injured in the early years.The battle for the throne in the future will inevitably be quite fierce.But Jia Lan wanted to protect herself and Jun Zexuan in the midst of this, so in the future only Jun Zexuan would be able to keep them from being affected.

Although she still has tens of thousands of taels of wedding silver in her hand, the seat she is in is different. Jia Lan understands that she and Jun Zexuan will support a prince's mansion in the future, so the cost will naturally not be less.But even so, Jia Lan had many ways to make money in her heart, and Jia Lan was unwilling to use them easily, and she didn't even participate in Xiangbaozhai.Shen Dacheng is now in charge of Xiangbaozhai very well, and he is also quite business-minded. With the advice of Mammy Shen, I heard that he bought a batch of high-quality rouge and gouache from the south, and now the business is not bad.Now that she is young, it doesn't matter whether she uses rouge or gouache.

Now that Jun Zezhen has recognized Jia Lan, he is naturally dedicated to her affairs. After all, their young couple is too young, but the dowry of the Jia family looks generous, but it cannot stand up to scrutiny. Although there are six Zhuangzi, the land It’s only about 3000 hectares in total, and there’s also a restaurant with six shops, three of which are not in the capital... Jun Zezhen didn’t take this property seriously, and a confidant beside him helped Management, these add up to only two or three thousand taels of profit a year, but there are twelve rooms for companions, and Jun Zezhen doesn't have much time to help Jia Lan take care of them. He knows Jia Lan's situation, so he asked Jia Lan After Lan, after people inquired about it, they directly locked up all the thieves and cheaters in Qifang, and people called Jia She to talk in private, and asked if they should be sent back to Jia's house.

Jia She's face turned green when he heard the words. Although Jia She was a little uncomfortable that the fifth prince would be in charge of his sister's dowry, he was really ashamed. There were three shops and a restaurant in the middle of Beijing and a hundred in the suburbs of Beijing. He bought the Zhuangzi in Qing Dynasty for Jia Lan, not to blame Jia Lan, but the Zhuangzi's shops, including the one he bought, were all in the hands of slaves. He asked himself to quietly arrange things for Jia Lan without disturbing the mansion. He originally thought that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jia Lan had a deep affection for her sister-in-law and wanted to make up for it, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason behind it. With Jia Lan's closeness, Jia Amnesty naturally understood who did it, so he was so ashamed at the moment, and repeatedly told the fifth prince to deal with it as he wished.

"Grandpa, our girl, uh... the master meant not to disturb the mansion, she said that now that grandma is pregnant, it's an important time, so don't bother, she also has a lot of dowry money, there is no shortage of this money, I didn't expect it to be so serious, so I just dealt with it quietly. You don't have to blame yourself too much. It's good to take care of the grandma. When the grandma gave birth to Brother Hu when she was young, she hurt her body. Now she finally got pregnant. There must be no rest." When Jun Zeming was talking to Jia She, Hui'er was called over, and when Jia She was sent away, Hui'er looked at Jia She's black face and hurriedly followed Jia Lan's face. I mean to persuade.

Jia She nodded, but he didn't complain much about Jia Lan, Jia Lan was very caring in his heart, no matter how ignorant Jia She was in the current situation, he could guess that it was not easy and free.Then he said: "Go back and tell my sister, I won't treat her badly for this matter, and I will make it up for her later. She doesn't have to worry about family affairs, just take good care of the eighth prince, Mrs. Zhang I'm still there!"

But a few days later, Jia Amnesty had already taken away all the seven companions who were stealing, raped and playing tricks, and sent all the clansmen who stayed in the Rongguo Mansion as dowries to Jia Lan's village. The two silver coins were entrusted to Jia Lan, and Jun Zeming saw that Jia Amnesty was still a good way, so he asked the nuns around Jia Lan to tell Jia Lan about the housekeeper, planning that when she was older, she could manage her own house. Dowry, and more importantly, he will be in charge of the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the future.

"Lan'er, if you don't like it, don't learn it." Jun Zexuan always remembered that Jia Lan didn't like reading the account book, so he stared at the nanny who showed Jia Lan the account book, with an unhappy expression on his face, until the waiter After all went out, he said.

Seeing his serious face, Jia Lan said seriously, "Even if you don't like it, you still have to understand! After we leave the house, we can't rely on Fifth Brother for everything. He will have his own mansion in the future. Besides, our own home is naturally You have to manage it yourself."

After listening to Jia Lan's words, Jun Zexuan's frown slowly relaxed. Jia Lan took a bite of each of us, which made Jun Zexuan's mood better involuntarily. I told him before that he should listen to his brother and never hide anything from his brother. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on his brother, what Jia Lan said made him feel very reasonable, so he sat next to Jia Lan and hugged her. Waist said: "I can read the ledger, and I can also count. I am a fast learner. Just learn what you like."

After getting married, Jia Lan no longer refuses Jun Zexuan's closeness. Anyway, at most, he can only be hugged by Lou Lou, and likes to smell his own body like a puppy, but he doesn't do much else.And after Jia Lan specifically said that he would not do this when there are other people around, so he smiled and brought the almond tea in his hand to his mouth, watched him take a sip and said: "I don't really hate it. How about it? Is it good?" Since he knew that the smell on his body was good for him, Jia Lan would occasionally give him dew.

Jun Zexuan likes the taste of almond tea very much, and Jia Lan feeds it, so he thinks it tastes better. He likes to eat with Jia Lan one by one, and pushes it to Jia Lan's mouth after drinking, After watching her take a sip, she leaned forward and took another sip by herself. After a while, the bowl of almond tea was exhausted. Jun Zexuan licked his lips with some insatiable desire, and then leaned his head on Jia Lan's shoulder , softly said: "I told Fifth Brother that our mansion will have a big garden and a plum grove..."

Two days ago, when Jia Lan asked people to go to the imperial garden to collect dewdrops, the servant of the third princess deliberately smashed the dew bottle. Jun Zexuan was very angry when he found out, but Gu Qingyan persuaded him, saying yes For the good of Jia Lan, let him not make trouble for the time being, just pretend he doesn't know.When Jun Zexuan heard that it was for Jia Lan's good, she suppressed the anger in her heart.But I always remember it in my heart.

"Okay!" Jia Lan felt soft when he heard this.Although Jun Zexuan is a bit clingy, Jia Lan likes him more and more. Although it is not love, but also has a different kind of family affection. Every time I look at his serious and unfalse eyes, I can't help it More and more confidence in the future life.
