The Concubine of the Red Chamber

When Jun Zexuan returned home, even if he had no serious errands, Jia Lan felt at ease at home. Although the Zhuangzi shop that the Fifth Prince's Mansion helped to manage before was sent back, Jia Lan became a little busy, but he always felt that it was steady and sure.

Xiangbaozhai is no longer her property now, although she still gets a bonus every year, but Jun Zezhen made a special addition to a big gold shop as compensation, and the source of goods and masters are packaged and sent over.Jun Zexuan unceremoniously picked two boxes of jewelry accessories from the items left by Concubine Gu, which made Jun Zexuan feel that this younger brother was a little uncute for the first time, not because he cared about the money, but because It's not that the mother and concubine left behind valuable things, but Jun Zexuan didn't want any other more valuable calligraphy and paintings.The younger brother took away most of his mother's jewelry, which made him a little reluctant, and wanted to keep a memory for his daughter in the future.

"Isn't there more?" Jun Zexuan's memory is very good, he took all the ones he had seen Gu Guifei himself, and the other rewards from Emperor Longchang, as well as the regulations in the palace, he didn't touch.However, in order to appease his elder brother, he even picked up a white jade hairpin that was left behind. He remembered that this was given by that good father, and the mother and concubine would only come to him when he passed by. He took it off as soon as he left, and said: "It wasn't worn by my mother on my two-year-old birthday. Now it's not for you."

Jun Zexuan picked up the hairpin and looked familiar, holding it in the palm of his hand, feeling very emotional.When the concubine mother was alive, no matter whether she was favored or not, she was really self-willed, but when she was gone, life would be difficult... Even if there were people left behind to protect her, in the palace, one would not be favored, and one would be favored. It is still unimaginable how hard it is for a prince who is disliked by the emperor.Fortunately, with this younger brother around, he was not in despair.

"So much, I really like it." Jia Lan has no objection to Jun Zexuan giving the fifth prince a more valuable shop and other things. The relics of his mother and concubine, the two brothers' arrangements are their own He kept these things for himself, and now he let him keep them, so why would he be dissatisfied!

Jia Lan really likes Jun Zexuan's behavior of not hiding private things, that is, the status of women in the previous life was said to be equal to that of men and women, and any man in the family would not hide his private money. Jun Zexuan is really kind, he Today's expenses are all recorded in the account, and then when I go back to the mansion, I go back to pay the bill, build a theater or something, and I have to take the sign I remember to go to the account room to collect the money!Jia Lan didn't expect to meet such a good man this time in ancient times, she couldn't hold back, looked at Jun Zexuan, and asked seriously: "You can't have no money at all, or else every one of me I will send you some monthly, and it will save you inconvenience."

Jun Zexuan didn't feel any inconvenience at all. The two of them were the real masters in the mansion. Besides, none of them brought a bag of money when they went out. Didn't all the guards around them leave the list of the palace, and then the accountant Will you check out?He didn't feel that he needed to spend money at all, and besides, he also noticed that his wife liked these, so wouldn't it be good to let her take them all?He directly refused.

"Yes, yes. Just in case you need it sometimes! Besides, you don't need to tell me how to spend the money. It's your private money." Man!Growing up day by day, making friends, eating a meal, drinking a drink... What does it cost?Jia Lan excitedly calculated how much pocket money he should give him every month.

'Private money? Jun Zexuan felt a little strange. Although he didn't think there was anything he couldn't tell Jia Lan about the expenses, it still sounded fresh, so he watched her happily calculating how much private money he should give him every month?

Today, Emperor Longchang is very stingy with titles, even the sons he loves are not sealed, each family who goes out of the palace to build a mansion is 20, and there will be nothing more, but how can the prince only have this, there are filial piety, and mother clan Support, with the help of mother and concubine, every day is not bad, even the two brothers Jun Zexuan and Jun Zexuan, when Concubine Gu married Emperor Longchang as a side concubine, he also brought a dowry no less than that of the current queen , and she didn't know this, so although the two brothers had a difficult life in the palace, they were not short of money.Although the prince does not have a title yet, he does have a salary. Jun Zexuan now has a salary of 300 taels a year, and Lumi [-] hu.

Jia Lan thought about it for a long time. Now she has a crush on Jun Zexuan, so after much deliberation, she thinks it should not be too little. I remember that Jia Shishi seems to be only 20 taels a month, and she gives Jun Zexuan 50 taels a month. Yueyin, his daily expenses are still the same.

"Why don't you also receive 50 taels of silver from the cashier every month, the same for both of us?" Jun Zexuan laughed when she heard her talking about the Jia family's monthly bill.

Jia Lan nodded. Although she has a dowry, the annual income from the shop Zhuangzi is also quite large, and after the Xue family started the pancreas business, Huier gave her dividends. She will not want the dividends from Xiangbaozhai this year, after all. The fifth prince has already subsidized the gold shop.

Jia Lan is quite excited about the day when she will be paid again. Although she doesn't care about the money anymore, life needs a sense of ritual.

Thinking that her and Jun Zexuan's private money almost used up Jun Zexuan's salary every year, Jia Lan really felt that Emperor Longchang was very stingy, and his sons were all married and running errands, and he was still a bald prince.

So, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Longchang set off a thunderbolt on the court hall, and the titles of princes who had already married and left the palace to build a mansion came down.

The second prince, Jun Zecheng, was named Prince Cheng, the third prince, Jun Zexian, was named Prince Heng, the fourth prince, Jun Zechang, was named Prince Chang, the fifth prince, Jun Zeyang, was named Prince Yong, the sixth prince, Jun Zeyang, was named Prince Rong, and the seventh prince Jun Zehui was granted the title of Prince Chun, and the Eighth Prince was granted the title of King Zhongshun because of his meritorious service in praying for the country.The prince did not leave the palace even after giving birth, so it is not within the scope of this conferment.

"What a lonely and good father!" The prince was going crazy. Although he knew that the emperor would grant those younger brothers one day, he didn't expect that each of them would be the title of prince. Not only did he give Jun Zexuan the double title title, but even He also gave Junze the title of Prince Yangrong.The fourth child was gone, so the sixth child was allowed to take the lead. Rong was worthy of a word, and told everyone clearly that he just doted on this son.He restricts himself and suppresses himself everywhere. In the past, his body was not as bad as the rumors from the outside world, but this father didn't want him to get well, so he could only get sick.Now I can't hold back anymore, but I lift them up so high one by one...

"Brother, you are still the crown prince, and my father has no... reason. The Zhen family has become more and more powerful thanks to my father these years, but it is not impossible for you to win." After the eldest princess Yuan An got the news, she went straight into the palace, He whispered to the prince: "I heard that Concubine Xian intends to choose one or three sons-in-law among the sons of Prince Beijing and Prince Nan'an. Even if the prince's title becomes the county king, but..."

"The four kings and eight princes have always been friends, and they have old friends with the Zhen family. If they succeed, there will really be no place for us." Princess Yuan'an was married that day, and she originally wanted to choose Prince Jing's son, but their kindness The royal father did not agree, but proposed to marry her to cousin Xu's family. The Xu family was originally from the mother's family, so she didn't need to win her over at all.Although the cousin was kind to her, but with his little ability, he helped the eldest brother. Over the years, when she used Xiangbaozhai to collect money, she also set up ambushes in many inner courtyards.Although it is not yet possible to gather Xiangbaozhai into everyone, no craftsman can fully make the top-level rouge, gouache, soap and incense, but she will make it in time, and then Xiangbaozhai will only be hers. Instead of relying on the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Princess Yuan'an looked at the somewhat calm prince, and continued: "Mrs. Rong Guo has been in frequent contact with the two houses recently, and the daughter of the Jia family has nowhere to go now! Besides, we, Yuan Chun and the fourth son, Yongzhen, are all here. age……"

"Concubine Xian always likes to do things like this. Didn't the daughter of the Niu family be tricked into marrying into the Zhen family that day? Among the companions of Baoqing, apart from Jia Niu, who of the other two didn't have any relationship with the sixth prince? In the end, Lao Liu still married the princess of the Dongping Prince's Mansion. The two companions were married away by the family, but their sisters entered Lao Liu's backyard. This relegation was a good means. Now she He also wanted to choose a son-in-law in the two palaces, but according to Baoqing's temper, wouldn't it be a disaster to whomever he marries?" The prince, who knew Princess Baoqing very well, said with contempt.It's not that he hasn't had contact with the four princes and eight princes these years, and it's not that everyone is not easy to win over. The Ningguo Mansion is not hers now, and the King of Beijing has also moved closer to him, but he doesn't want to tell his sister about these things.

Princess Yuan'an looked at her elder brother, the prince, and sighed in her heart. Her elder brother's vision was restricted in this palace. A woman can do many things. Baoqing is a beauty, and she knows that Concubine Xian is really This time, Princess Baoqing also cooperated extraordinarily, the concubine Xian has been favored for many years, even if she is not as good as Concubine Zhen Gui now, but in terms of scheming ability, Concubine Zhen Gui is far behind, she still has to live on the favor of the Holy Concubine , but also to support Concubine Xian's son!Princess Baoqing was really beaten back this time, not to mention ten points, but three points. As long as she can control her temper, men will like it.It seems that she can only discuss this matter with the queen mother, and the prince brother should take care of the affairs ahead.

Among the four kings, Xining Wangfu Dongping Wangfu has now become the county prince's residence, and the sons of Prince Beijing and Prince Nan'an will be deposed as county kings in the future. Their grandfathers were all crowned kings because of their meritorious service, and they are also kings of the opposite sex. Naturally, their abilities are not bad. Yes, apart from the king of Beijing who is not contaminating the army at present, the king of Nan'an and the king of Xining both have their own troops, especially the king of Nan'an, who has hundreds of thousands of private soldiers in his hands, while the king of Dongping The king of the county is deeply rooted in Ping'an Prefecture, and his status cannot be underestimated.Since the only unmarried sons are the sons of Prince Beijing and Prince Nan'an, Princess Yuan'an intends to marry her sister-in-law to Nan'an Palace.

Compared with Princess Baoqing, who is irritable and unbearable, her sister-in-law has a cheerful personality and a sweet appearance, and has a good reputation.If she had known about the current result, Princess Yuan'an even wanted her mother to raise a few more princesses under her knees. After raising them well, she would be a helper in the future.

"My wife loves me, but my father still needs to agree to this matter. How can my daughter be different because of her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker?" Let her come out, the first thing Jia Shishi wanted to do was to marry her daughter, but the candidate was different from the noble family's son Jia Daishan chose, she chose the prince of Nan'an.He also told Jia Min clearly what he meant. Jia Min trembled all over when he heard the words, so he could only try his best to hold on, and said in a low voice with red eyes.
