The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Jun Zexuan's headache has been relieved a lot now, but Jun Zexuan also found that as long as he replaces the things Jia Lan gave him, he can feel it immediately, whether it is clothes or purses.I was very surprised in my heart. After many experiments, I was speechless. He was able to pick out which of the identical things was given by his younger brother and sister. This kind of vision can no longer be described by common sense. I don't know what to say about idiotic behavior.In fact, he also read it and had it studied by others, and he couldn't see anything special about it, but it also made him understand the importance of Jia Lan's sister-in-law to his younger brother.Once Jun Zexuan's head doesn't hurt, his progress is almost rapid. He has the ability to never forget. He couldn't think deeply before, but now there is no such obstacle. Jun Zexuan's head turns quickly. Anyway, every day in the temple The scriptures that the master asked to recite did not take much thought for him, and even martial arts improved rapidly because of his better understanding.Although he seems to be staying in the monastery most of the time, he has been learning other things. The rest of the time is either learning skills from the people he entrusted to arrange for him, or reading court newspapers, or collecting information.Whether it's people's sophistication or other things, Jun Zexuan has made great progress now.Jun Zezhen felt very gratified by this, although he was not a father yet, he felt a faint sense of pride that his son had accomplished his studies.

Jun Zexuan's progress, apart from his EQ, surprised Jun Zexuan very much. He reaffirmed the fact that his younger brother is a genius. Although some of his staff felt that Jun Zexuan's strength would be bad for him, Jun Zexuan still believed it. Brother, apart from his mother and concubine dying, he has had frequent exchanges with Jun Zexuan. He knows that power and wealth are more important to him than reading books and practicing martial arts. Knowing that Jia Lan needs to be added now, she is probably no less important in his brother's heart than himself.Jun Zexuan is not a very utilitarian person, and even a little disgusted with power, he doesn't like to contact people, and he respects himself very much. Jun Zexuan can lead a normal life now, which was unimaginable before. It's not a big problem to like people and not to like strangers.But with such a possibility that he has basically cut off the possibility of contending for the position, coupled with Jia Lan's innocent temperament now, Jun Zezhen naturally put them into his protection circle while feeling sorry for his younger brothers.

When Jun Zexuan returned to the mansion, he still liked to get along with Jia Lan as before. He liked to look at her, listen to her talk, and the smell of her body... followed step by step, and it was Jia Lan who had a high tolerance for him. Also feel very depressed.

"What are you going to do?" Jia Lan put down her pen. She has recently fallen in love with practicing calligraphy. Little Fu Jun said helplessly.Obviously, it's okay if I haven't seen you for half a year, right?The effect of the dew on him is obvious, the headache should not hurt now, right?

Jun Zexuan lowered his head and put his forehead against Jia Lan, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he felt strangely satisfied when he saw himself in Jia Lan's eyes. Jun Zexuan liked to stay by Jia Lan's side very much, and he was very familiar with her. , Seeing her in a good mood, warm all over, no need to think about anything, just being in a room like this, looking at her, holding her hand, I feel extremely satisfied. I haven't felt it before, but at the same time, Jun Zexuan hopes that Jia Lan will also feel happy, and likes that she always has himself in her eyes, likes her talking to him, and likes the way she smiles.Jun Zexuan reached out to touch Jia Lan's eyelashes, and said, "Your eyes are very beautiful, I like them very much."

To put it so bluntly, Jia Lan felt a little embarrassed.Her little husband is an idiot, so she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority and embarrassment at the same time. Whether it's because of the plum tree in her own space, or other things, Yun Shan doesn't want to pursue it too much. After all, his obsession is only aimed at herself. That's enough of a man's mismarriage and love.Standing in this era and living a good life, she is very satisfied. Jun Zexuan has given her everything she wants, and she is more willing to live like this.She felt lucky to be able to marry him and get rid of Jia's control.Although many things cannot be described by science nowadays, it cannot change her mentality of wanting to live comfortably and well.

Jia Lan didn't ask much about Jun Zexuan's life in the temple, because she had already made up her mind to live a good life with him, so Jia Lan would not push him away, so that others could take advantage of Jun Zexuan's many things from before. Be considerate and slowly begin to shift.It is said that men are cultivated. Jia Lan feels that the current situation is very good for him, so he decides to train his little husband well, so that he can support himself for a while when he grows up.Although a bit shameless, but in this era where men are respected, there is basically no other choice after marriage, and Jia Lan does not want to have other choices, so trying to make her life better is what she should do.

"I'll take you out to play after I've been busy for a while when I come out of the temple." Jun Zexuan is no longer as painful as before when facing the crowd. He could bear it, so after hearing Jia Lan complain that it was boring for him to learn the housekeeper, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all by himself in the eighth prince's mansion, he directly agreed.

Jia Lan nodded. She is actually quite satisfied with her current life. She thought she was locked up in the small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion for several years, but now she is a princess. Because she is young, she has to learn every day There are a lot of things, other than that, all the people in the house play with him, but they have other ideas, and there is a good brother and sister-in-law to help him, so he can live as happy as he can.

After solving the problem of dew and make-up, Jia Lan seldom interferes with business matters. Whether the business is good or bad is not something she should care about. The business matters are fully entrusted to the fifth prince and his wife. Whether they can keep it depends on them. ability.Jia Lan learns housekeeping, calligraphy and painting every day, and is also busy with connecting with the young man every day, listening to outside gossip, communicating with Hui'er, learning about Xue's family and outside affairs, and letting her toss about the entire Eighth Prince's Mansion. Have a good time.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any worries recently?" Jia Lan has no affection for the Jia family, but for Jia She and his wife because of their protection before, he is a little grateful in his heart. In addition to the current world, it is not easy to follow even the prince and concubine. The quarrel in her natal family was too stiff, not to mention that Jia Daishan was still an important minister in the court and a celebrity in front of the imperial court. He offended several other princesses because of the makeup of the eldest princess, which made Jia Min lose face in front of the fifth princess, which made Shi's heart ache. He was very resentful, so Jia Lan wrote a letter to explain to Jia Daishan.And in order to gain goodwill to show that it is harmless, he also occasionally calls Jia's family to talk.Of course, Mrs. Shi basically didn't come here, Mrs. Wang is now 'seriously ill', and Mrs. Zhang is the only one who came.

Mrs. Zhang has not been with this sister-in-law for a day or two, and the relationship is already good. In addition, Jia Lan often speaks well of her in front of Jia She, so she didn't pretend to be with Jia Lan before, and said directly: "Respect elder brother next door After passing the Juren examination, it is said that the heat is enough, and the next year will end, the second uncle... the second uncle is now favored by the master and asked for the status of a supervisor, but unexpectedly he is said to be far inferior to the elder brother Jing. I feel a little uncomfortable, my wife loves the second brother... ..."

Jia Lan nodded. When she asked, she guessed that it was related to Shi Shi.In Jia Lan's eyes, Mrs. Zhang is already considered a most virtuous woman, but knowing that she was framed by Mrs. Shi before, even when she and Hu'er were in danger before, Mrs. Shi defended Mrs. Wang a lot, and she was dissatisfied in her heart , did not do anything out of the ordinary.She is still filial to Shi Shi, but seeing her beloved second son's life is not going well, his studies are not going well, and his future is uncertain, Shi Shi will naturally blame Zhang Shi, after all, the identity of mother-in-law is there!

"My wife didn't know what she said to the master. The master called your eldest brother to give him a good reprimand, and also sent over the pearl and jade from the wife's room, saying that he was the heir of the big house..." Mrs. Zhang was full of annoyance. There is no way to say that she knew that her body was hurt after giving birth to Lian'er, but her husband never said anything about herself, and promised to have a good life with herself in the future. She refused Shi's gift several times, but now Jia Daishan gave it away, but she couldn't. Rejected, how could Zhang not feel sad, she had already had a genuine affection for Jia She, and now Jia She has changed for the better, pampering and doting on herself, how could Zhang want other women to be an eyesore?Because she has a good relationship with Jia Lan, Zhang couldn't help but say it out, but as she talked, she remembered Jia Lan's age. After all, she didn't continue talking, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart, feeling that she was talking about her in-laws behind her back. It shouldn't be.

Jia Lan didn't care about Zhang's attitude, she didn't like to intervene in this matter, she just hugged Lian'er to tease her, and said casually: "Sister-in-law already has two nephews, Hu'er and Lian'er, I think eldest brother is satisfied No one who has read the Red Chamber knows how lecherous Jia She is, but it is the later period after all, and he is not yet irresistible, and he really likes Zhang Shi. With an expression of anger but no resentment, you can tell that he is doing well now.

As soon as Jia Amnesty was mentioned, Zhang felt a sense of sweetness in his heart. Although he was scolded by the master, scolded by his wife, and even his brother-in-law said he was incompetent, he finally held back and only went to the two girls' rooms for less than half a day. She immediately went back to her room. Although his wife disliked her even more because of this, her heart was indeed sweet.Before she got married, she knew that Jia Amnesty was not motivated. She is very satisfied with her life now. Although she is not very motivated, her grandfather said that he is a good person. At first, she didn't expect much, but now Mrs. Zhang is really satisfied and caring about this husband.

"Second sister-in-law is seriously ill, and the second brother's side is even more desolate. The wife must inevitably favor the second brother, and the elder sister-in-law should not take it to heart." Thinking about Jia Zheng being able to save anything, he became aloof since he was a child, and looked down on them concubines. The fact that Mrs. Wang plotted against Mrs. Zhang's mother and son was because he really didn't know about it and didn't participate in it. After such a long time, it's possible that he couldn't guess a thing or two. , but now I see him still going to the so-called literary meeting every day, and occasionally staying overnight in the brothel Chuguan, not caring what happened to his wife, even Jia Zhu, who was raised under Shi's knee, just heard Jia Zhu After Hu's success, he called Jia Zhu to insult him in the school exam, thinking that Jia Zhu didn't give him face.If he doesn't teach, but feels that his son is not motivated and doesn't give him face, Jia Lan doesn't know how to evaluate his so-called second brother at all, it's just prudence.

Sure enough, when mentioning Jia Zheng, Mrs. Zhang really had a sense of superiority. She still couldn't let go of Mrs. Wang's framing of their mother and child. Seeing Mrs. Wang slowly losing everything, Mrs. Zhang felt refreshed, and she was worthy of being the Wang family. , the effect of the medicine is really good, even the imperial physician can't see anything.Of course, the heart is cruel enough, in order to allow the Jia and Wang families to continue their marriage, the Wang family will only have to do it for a year or so. After she dies, and Jia Zhengshou for another year, the little Wang family will be able to enter.

Jun Zexuan practiced according to the decree, Jia Lan was a little princess in her early ten years, and she was born as a concubine, so naturally not many people paid attention to it. He never entered the palace, and only entered the palace to pay his respects to the five princes and concubines during the festivals.Of course, Jia Lan also understood that she would not be like this forever, so she stared at the child's appearance, and asked Xiao Xiaoer to go out to find out interesting things for herself, and even compiled a booklet to read when bored.Occasionally, Mrs. Zhang would bring her jokes about the Jia family when she came, so she would also make up the Jia family's affairs and read it as a story.

But it's not that if Jia Lan doesn't look for trouble, he won't look for her?In June, Jia Lan took the opportunity to escape from the summer heat and went to Zhuangzi at the foot of the Huguo Temple. Jun Zexuan often went down the mountain to accompany her. As a result, within a month, Jia Lan was ginsenged.

The imperial decree reprimanded by the queen soon reached Zhuangzi, and Jun Zexuan almost couldn't hold back and rushed to kill the eunuch who announced the decree, but was held back tightly. After all, it is not easy to spread the news about him leaving the temple.

Jia Lan knelt down and listened to the queen's edict, and listened to the reprimand to her inside, and couldn't help but feel a fire in her heart. The queen didn't like Jun Zexuan, so she asked him to stay in the temple at a young age. Now...if it wasn't for the fact that the dew on his hands could prevent Jun Zexuan from having a headache, how could Jia Lan not feel resentful for using such a low-handed method against a prince who didn't pose much of a threat?

"I don't like to go out very much, so don't be annoyed. Even if I don't go out of the house, Xiaoyi and the others will come to see you often." The queen ordered Jia Lan to be confined for a year, copy a hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and cultivate himself. Heart.Jia Lan looked at Jun Zexuan who could no longer hide his hostility, and when he sent the eunuch who delivered the decree away, he quickly grabbed him and comforted him.

"..." Jun Zexuan looked at Jia Lan with some guilt, looked at the worry in her eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and finally listened to his persuasion and went back to the temple.

"Isn't Yushi Chen's first wife the last time I heard Xiaocui say that she was serving her parents-in-law in her hometown? Didn't outsiders praise Chen Yushi as a dutiful son? Why did she have such a big fuss after only half a year's work? The old wife is almost forty now, right?" With the help of Xiao Xiao Er, most of the news Jia Lan got was true, and there were many "interesting things" in the family of the four kings and eight princes, not to mention other people's affairs.How could Jia Lan be willing to be reprimanded by the queen for a year of confinement and copy a hundred volumes of scriptures?It is one thing not to go out by oneself, but another thing to be grounded. There is no way to say anything to Queen Jia Lan, at least not for now, but Chen Yushi, who joined her, will naturally not let it go.Only a few days after the reply, Chen Yushi's mansion was checked to the bottom.

An Yi has now become the steward on the bright side, and was ordered by Jun Zexuan to protect Jia Lan. For such a long time, he dare not underestimate this little princess of his own, so he said directly: "Chen Yushi's original partner heard that he would go early." Yes, I married my current wife at the end of last year. Because it is the stepwife, I didn't have much to do. I got pregnant a month after the stepwife entered the house, but it was premature."

"Oh! That's it!" Jia Lan curled her lips, sneered, hooked her hands, and gave Xiaoer some instructions, and then said slowly: "He is a blessed one." There are seven-month-old premature babies, but It's not easy to be so strong for more than six months, you don't need to guess what's going on, and Chen Yushi, who is nearly forty years old, can marry a lady from the Xu family's concubine family. The young and beautiful young lady didn't marry a man with such a big difference, so she couldn't believe that she couldn't get out of Chen Yushi's pigtails.

In August, when the Chen family went to Beijing to attend the full moon of Chen Yushi's youngest son, the family accidentally revealed a shocking secret because they were drunk outside, and it was immediately spread throughout the capital.

Jiangbei was flooded, the fifth prince was sent out, and the fifth prince concubine was busy with the Empress Qianqiu and Xiang Jianzi, so she came here in a hurry to comfort Jia Lan. Seeing that she was not sad, she planned to wait for her father to come back to talk about it .In the end, he suddenly heard that Chen Yushi's house had been ransacked by order, and he was very surprised.

"Chen Yushi stopped his wife from remarrying, and even forced Ji to rape the Xu family's young lady, making her lose her innocence. In order to deceive others, she simply kept doing two things and killed her original wife. The second wife gave birth to a child in August. Leaving Yue’s child aside, it’s only been less than half a year since the original spouse’s death... His step-mother, Mrs. Xu, heard that her original spouse’s death was less than half a year old, and said that she was embarrassing Mrs. Xu, so she hanged herself that night." After joy, I was startled, how can the officials in the middle of the capital be so careless about feathers, Chen Yushi can achieve the position of censor, and has a reputation for integrity, is he careless?Chen Yushi's wife hadn't heard of it for many years. She had heard about it when she married her step-wife at the end of last year. It was said that she had been gone for many years. At that time, she was still sobbing, but now she said that she had been gone for less than half a year?

The fifth concubine thought about it and asked people to inquire about it, but it turned out that it was Chen Yushi who came to Beijing to participate in the child's full moon. They accidentally said that they showed their mouths and were overheard. Later, the rumor spread and was heard by the sixth prince. It is said that after telling Emperor Longchang, after Emperor Longchang was furious, he sent someone to investigate and found out that it was true, so there would be such a bad reward.

Everything is a coincidence, there is nothing strange about it, the people outside said it was only the emperor's sage, but the fifth prince and concubine thought it was not easy, but they didn't intend to go into it. Now because of the Xiangbaozhai incident, many people pay attention to the five In the prince's mansion, she planned to wait for the fifth prince to come back and tell the fifth prince.

When the prince returned to Beijing on September [-]th, the Wang family told him what had happened recently, and Jun Zexi nodded to show that he understood.In the evening, Xiao Yi appeared in the study of the Fifth Prince's Mansion and told him what happened during this period.

"Xiaoba is willing to use his brain again?" The fifth prince couldn't help being excited when he heard about it. Confiding the prince's affairs to Emperor Longchang, Xuan'er arranged for someone to do it, and did not reveal any relationship with the Eighth Prince's House, but it was done by the Zhen family's staff.Xuan'er never liked to use her brains, she liked to deal directly, and reported revenge on the spot, and now she knew how to use tricks, the fifth prince was very happy.My younger brother is growing up, so I have more helpers, can you not be happy?

But after being happy, the fifth prince was still a little frustrated. After all, in the past year or so, the object of Xiaoba's mind has been his own daughter-in-law, which has nothing to do with his brother. Why does he feel a little sad for his brother who was raised by himself? ?Jun Zezhen naturally wanted that seat, but in the current situation, Emperor Longchang would pass on the throne to anyone, and he would not be himself. Jun Zezhen had no feelings for this father, nor did he have any expectations, he just suppressed his own ambition , showing his indifference, but only he knows what the truth is.
