The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Jia Lan called her to the Prince's Mansion specifically for Chen's mother's affairs, but Chen's mother believed in death, thinking that she was useless by Jia Lan's side now, and wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to take care of Jia Lian.

"Grandma said to let my brother go to study with the young master. Don't look at Brother Hu, who is only seven years old now, but he is a hundred times stronger than ours. It is also good for him to study with Brother Hu in Zhang's house." At that time, Mother Chen was entrusted by Jia She to come to the prince's mansion many times, and she also gave some opinions according to Jia Lan's preferences. She could naturally see that the fifth prince cared a lot about the eighth prince and his little lady. She felt that she really couldn't help the young master of the Gu family and the mothers in the palace. After all, Shen mother is so capable now, why don't they still live outside?Nanny Liu told herself a long time ago that going to the Prince's Mansion by herself was of no use to Sister Lan, but now that Grandma Jia was entrusting her, she wanted to go back to Rongguo Mansion.

Since Mother Chen said so, Jia Lan could see that she had already made up her mind, and sighed silently in her heart, she could only let her go.

"Grandma can trust me now, Sister Lan, don't worry, since I said those words to her according to the girl's wishes a while ago, she is really cold-hearted about the affairs in the house. The second grandma is warm-hearted Cold, dare to play tricks on the eldest daughter-in-law, but I haven't given her an explanation yet. The grandma is really anxious and angry. You must know that the grandma is a good person, and she helped us a lot back then. Outside Grandma Liu and Nanny Shen are capable of everything, and I can't help you." Mother Chen looked at her daughter, and really felt that the palace was too experienced. It can be guessed that she will do something to Grandma and Brother Hu.It was also like this, and Mother Chen felt that she couldn't help her much, so she wanted to go and see Jia Lian, thinking that Jia Lan and the Zhang family were still on good terms, and it was still the same as when Jia She was in front of the old lady. Friendship, if this grandma is plotted against by the second grandma, Jia Amnesty may be estranged from Jia Lan in the future.

"Since you have made up your mind, I really can't say anything. I also understand your intentions. I only hope for your well-being. You have to be more careful when you go back to the mansion. Mother and second brother and second sister-in-law are not easy to save money." I really can't stay any longer, so you are here." Jia Lan sighed and said softly, Mother Chen has always been so stubborn and always wanted to do something for herself.

Seeing that Jia Lan finally let go, Chen's mother felt unhappy at the moment, so she hurriedly took out the shoes she made for her from the bag beside her.Said: "It will be your birthday in a few days, can you try this pair of shoes?"

Jia Lan sent Mother Chen away depressed, but she couldn't smile at Jun Zexuan. Jun Zexuan knew Jia Lan's heart knot, and knew that she was very protective of those close to him, but he was also happy. This mother is very interesting and didn't want to come to Jia Lan's side. Now he doesn't like the girl named Huier next to her, and he dislikes them surrounding her all day. It's just right if he doesn't come now, so he insists on seeing Jia Lan with him. plum bossom.

"Your nanny is a sensible person, and your natal sister-in-law is not stupid. Since she is asked to go, she will be treated well." Jun Zexuan and Jia Lan walked in this small plum forest, looking at Jia Lan was not very happy yet, so she comforted her.Don't like him taking too much trouble for others, Jun Zexuan expressed a little angrily in his heart that he would ask Jia Amnesty to arrange a Wu slave by her side.

As for why he didn't install someone by himself, Jun Zexuan knew without mentioning Jia Lan. Their current prince's mansion has not been rectified, so naturally they don't have the ability to do such a thing. A few of them trained some manpower for themselves.

Jia Lan didn't know what Jun Zexuan was thinking, but she also understood that what he said was reasonable. She cared too much and was too afraid of Jia Shishi, so she couldn't let go. Today, Zhang Shi gave birth to Jia Lian safely. Now Jia Hu is valued by Jia Daishan again, and the protection around her is also very strict. Although Jia Shishi is biased, she doesn't know that she is so ruthless that she will kill Jia Hu and Jia Lian. After all, she has loved Jia Hu very much these years.

Jia Daishan was a little confused except for the inner house, but he wanted to find out some things. Although Wang tried his best to cover it up, he still found some clues.Knowing that the eldest daughter-in-law's dystocia was calculated to be related to the second daughter-in-law, and there was also the shadow of his wife, Jia Daishan almost fainted in anger. These two daughter-in-laws were carefully selected by himself. Although he has been implicated because of the wrong position at the beginning, the foundation of the Zhang family is still there, and the reputation among scholars is also very good.The Wang family and the Jia family are old relatives, and the four major families are both prosperous and suffering, and marrying the daughter of the Wang family is also for the good of Jia Zheng. After all, Jia She, the eldest son, will inherit the family business in the future, but he did not expect the Wang family to be so bold.

Naturally, Jia Daishan is not stupid, Wang has only been married for more than a year, and it is obviously not overnight that she can think so much, if Zhang is not cautious, she will not be able to escape her calculations.Jia Daishan is now a little uncertain whether it was the wife of the inner house, or the Wang family was unwilling to give in to their second son and wanted to surpass the eldest son to win the Rongguo Mansion?Jia Dai Shan thought about it but couldn't figure it out. He felt that he had always been friends with the Wang family. The Wang family also knew that Jia Zheng was the second son and could not inherit the family business.

It can be said that the Jia family and the Wang family have long been tied together by the same rope. Jia Daishan couldn't believe that the Wang family dared to do such a thing, and it was hard for Jia Shishi to believe it. Tiger poison doesn't eat children, so Jia Daishan couldn't believe that he was sleeping next to his pillow. A woman who is almost 30 years old can be cruel to this.So I ordered to go down and continue to investigate, and at the same time, let people carefully investigate the temperament and past of the second daughter-in-law before she left the pavilion.

"You don't need to say too much. The matter hasn't been clarified yet. Let's wait until it's clarified." Jia Amnesty is different from Jia Daishan in that he also has some manpower. After his grandmother died, he left him not only a large amount of private finances, but also a group of manpower. Now, Jia Amnesty has learned some ways of the world from Mr. Zhang, and he has a deep friendship with Mrs. Zhang. Naturally, after finding out that the matter is related to Mrs. Wang, he wished he could go there and pinch the prudish second son to Mrs. Wang to death. , but he also understood that he could not kill his younger brother just for the sake of his two sons, so he directly handed over the results of the investigation to Jia Daishan, but Jia Daishan didn't even look at it and just said directly.

Jia She felt chilled when he heard this, he knew that his father favored his second brother, after all, his second brother was better at studying than he was, and was used to please his parents, but now that his son and wife were almost killed by schemes, his father still wanted To cover up the murderer?Could it be that his own son really has no weight in his heart?

"Master!" Jia Shecheng looked at Jia Daishan with red eyes, and said bluntly: "If the master wants the second younger brother to become the noble, just tell the son, the son knows that he has no ability to offend his parents, but the master Second, what he is planning is my son and daughter-in-law..."

"Crack!" Jia Daishan felt that he was going to be stupid to death by the eldest son. He dared to make trouble in front of him before the matter was found out. He really didn't have any filial piety. The second child he loved and grew up since childhood, Jia Daishan would rather believe It was the Wang family who wanted to do something to the Jia family, and they didn't think it had anything to do with the youngest son.

"Idiot! This matter has something to do with the Wang family, and what does it have to do with your brother? You don't have to think about it. How dare Zheng'er think about plotting against your daughter-in-law and brother Hu?" Even if Jia Daishan didn't want to admit it, he knew it clearly The second son still didn't dare to do anything to the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson, Jia Daishan saw Jia She's disbelief, so he opened his mouth and explained it to him.

"The four big families are connected with each other, one is prosperous and the other is damaged. The Wang family is only seventeen or eighteen now. How can they dare to do such a thing? Besides, if the Wang family wants to plot against you, you don't know how many times you will die. Yes! When I got engaged, I specifically said that Zheng'er was going to start his official career in Wendu. Speaking of which, Jia Daishan simply said about the relationship between the Jia family and the Wang family, and the secrets they hold each other over again.

After hearing Jia Daishan's words, Jia Amnesty's anger subsided a little. Although he still felt that Jia Zheng was ambitious, he also had doubts in his heart, was someone plotting against him?

"The Wang family is the one who handles it, so it's not the Wang family's calculations, and the Wang family is definitely not innocent." Jia Amnesty maintained a skeptical attitude towards what Jia Daishan said, but he was really unwilling to let the Wang family and Jia Zheng go.

Jia Daishan paused, he naturally understood that the Wang family was not innocent, seeing Jia She's expression of displeasure, Jia Daishan's mood was also very complicated, if it was something else, he would be able to suppress Jia She, and let him not hold complaints against Jia Zheng and his wife , but this matter is related to his heirs, and he can't say it out. Besides, he also resents the Wang family in his heart. How can he teach his daughter like this?

However, no matter how many endorsements Jia Daishan made for the Wang family, the matter had already been settled. The only thing that made him feel gratified was that Jia Zheng had no involvement in this matter at all, and although Jia Shishi was biased, he did not know about it.Jia Daishan knew that no matter whether it was because Wang gave birth to Pearl or because of Jia Zheng's reputation, this matter could not be reported. He is now approaching the age of knowing his destiny, and he is not as decisive as he was in previous years, but he can't. He didn't give the eldest son an explanation, so he went directly to the Wang family's door on a Muxiu day.

"Bastard!" Seeing the investigation results brought by Jia Daishan, and the various heinous things that Mrs. Wang has done since she married into Jia's family for more than a year, Wang Chang'an almost got angry, and let The most difficult thing for him to accept is that his son actually meddled in his daughter's husband's family affairs. The Wang family is similar to the Jia family, except that the eldest son, Wang Zisheng, cannot be reused, and the second son, Zhang Ziteng, is smart and capable. After being reprimanded by the above, now he can only favor the youngest son more and more.

As soon as Wang Ziteng entered the door, he was slapped twice by his father. He was a little confused, but when he saw Jia Daishan, his eyes shrank slightly. He already had a guess in his mind that what his stupid sister did was exposed!

Naturally, Wang Ziteng would not admit that this matter had anything to do with him, and he said that he gave his younger sister a few people to help her manage the disobedient servants in the dowry Zhuangzi. He swore to God that he would never do such a thing, and he never had such thoughts , the eldest son inherits the family business is the rule handed down by the ancestors, he only hopes to be recognized by others with his true talents.Wang Ziteng really felt wronged in his heart, because he only found out afterwards. In order not to be implicated, he just helped his stupid sister wipe out some clues, but he did not expect to be found out by the Jia family.

Jia Dai Shanben didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Wang family, so after sighing, he took advantage of the situation and said a few words for Wang Ziteng who was kneeling on the ground, saying that he didn't believe that Wang Ziteng would do such a thing, and said that he felt that it was extremely difficult at this time. It is possible that both of them have been calculated, or why many details have been touched so clean?

Of course, Wang Changan followed Jia Daishan's wishes and said that now his daughter can no longer be picked, and his son must be kept, and he must not have a relationship with the Jia family. He accepted any decision, and only wanted to see that the other girls of the Wang family would not be unable to marry because of the friendship between Jia and Wang's family for many years.He even told Jia Daishan directly that there is still a concubine in the Wang family who has not yet engaged, she is obedient and still young, she is only 12 years old now, he will teach her well and record her under the name of his first wife.

"Brother Wang is serious, we can't stop here." Jia Daishan said in embarrassment when he heard the words, he thought of punishing Wang, but he didn't think of killing her and hiring another daughter of the Wang family.Even if the prostitute is like this, he does have doubts about the upbringing of the Wang family.You must know that during the investigation, Jia Daishan also found out that Jia Shishi originally wanted to hire the eldest daughter of the Wang family for his son at first, but after meeting the two girls, he hired the second daughter of the first wife instead, and the eldest daughter of the Wang family Then she married Xue's family.If there were no tricks in it, he wouldn't believe it. He didn't think about it so much before, he just thought that Zheng'er couldn't inherit the family business, and the Wang family's daughter was indeed a little cowardly, and the second daughter was more suitable for being straightforward and bright.

Naturally, Wang Chang'an couldn't let Jia Daishan's doubts come true. There were quite a few unmarried girls in the Wang family. After Jia Daishan left, Wang Chang'an also checked, but the result he found was More than Jia Daishan, he already understands that this incident is very likely to be done by that evil person himself, and he can take care of other things for this evil person, but he can't help and is unwilling to help such crimes as disrespecting his brother and sister-in-law and poisoning his sister-in-law. .And before that, she had plotted against her sister-in-law. You must know that at the beginning he thought that the eldest daughter would be docile and marry into Jia's family. After all, Jia Zheng was the second son.The second daughter is straightforward and capable, and married into the Xue family. The Xue family is an imperial merchant and needs a mistress who can make decisions in everything, but in the end the marriage of the two daughters was reversed.

"Mrs. Rongguo once revealed to her sister-in-law that she wanted to hire her sister to be the housekeeper." Wang Ziteng said in his heart that he couldn't blame the Wang family at all. If Mrs. Rongguo hadn't started it, how could his sister have such thoughts early in the morning? ?Seniors and youngsters are in order, so wouldn't he suffer from the younger character, but he never thought of killing the older brother and replacing him?

Hearing this, Wang Changan thought that the history of the eldest daughter-in-law was also involved?But just one sentence from the housekeeper is not enough to convict, but at this time, I really can't talk too much to people, so I sighed heavily, and told Wang Ziteng, asking him to find a female teacher and nun as soon as possible, and ordered the only one The concubine's daughter moved out alone to raise her with her heart.

When Jia Daishan returned home, he still wanted to persuade his eldest son, but after Wang fell ill for no reason, he understood the Wang family's choice, and he directly told Jia She that the matter had been settled, so there was no need to say much.

Mrs. Wang fell ill, and it is said that she has reached the point where she can't stand up, and she only has three to five years of life expectancy at most.

After Wang's illness, Jia Daishan asked Jia Shi to take full charge of taking care of Jia Zhu, and asked her to hand over all the power of housekeeping to Zhang.After calling Jia Zheng over and reprimanding him not to treat Wang Shi badly, Jia Daishan looked at Jia Zheng with a natural look on his face, and finally Jia Daishan concealed what Wang Shi had done.

Mrs. Wang suddenly became ill like this, and Mrs. Jia already understood in her heart that what happened to her eldest daughter-in-law was probably done by her, and she also caused her to completely lose her housekeeping rights. , afraid that what he once said to his niece who married into the Wang family would be known.

Mrs. Wang is ill and won't live long, so Mrs. Zhang is a complete housekeeper?Jia Lan was also very surprised by this result. She originally wanted to give Raja a pardon and watch other people die, but she didn't expect it to be like this now. If Wang's death, who gave birth to that stone? came out?

But soon Jia Lan couldn't care about the Jia family's affairs, because the fourth prince Jun Zechang--died!

"What's going on?" Although there was no filial piety for his brother, Jia Lan still changed Jun Zexuan's body color so that he didn't show it. He looked at the palace people who came out of the palace to report the funeral and asked. The fourth prince has always been arrogant. , and his mother is Concubine An Gui, who has been favored by Emperor Longchang for many years. Among all the princes, his birth is second only to the prince, but he doesn't even think of the prince.But he was Emperor Longchang's true favorite son, and he left so suddenly when he was not sick or in trouble, which made Jia Lan feel a kind of indescribable weirdness.

The palace people only said that it was an emergency, and they couldn't say anything else, but Jun Zexuan could only bring Jia Lan into the palace.But when they arrived in the palace, both of them were shocked.

The fourth prince has not yet reached the crown, but he has always been favored and has a high status, but he is already 17 years old, so there is no such thing as a decent mourning hall?However, the current situation is like this. It has been five hours since the fourth prince passed away last night, but the mourning hall is still not set up. Concubine An Guifei fell ill, Emperor Longchang also invited an imperial physician, and the empress was waiting for her illness.Only the second princess, Yongping, couldn't help crying when the prince was crying alone.
