The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Concubine Yuanchun

With the secret efforts of Jia She and his wife, Qin Keqing's funeral was not as extravagant as in the original book, but the family members of the four princes and eight princes were still present.Alas, Jia Amnesty was so angry when he saw that scene that he wanted to jump his feet: he and his wife tried their best to break out of this quagmire, but they were unable to take over these pig teammates one by one.I don't usually see how intimate you are, but on this kind of occasion, you all get together. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know that you have one heart?Is this a preparation for rebellion or something?

At any rate, under Mrs. Xing's strict guard, the old nun of Tiekan Temple and Mrs. Wang were not allowed to join in.She had someone investigate secretly, and the old nun of Tiekan Temple was really not a good person, he could do all sorts of dirty things, and he didn't know how many girls' lives he had killed in vain.Jia Amnesty wanted to keep her alive, but Xing was disgusted by her behavior, so she simply found someone to understand the disaster.At least one disaster was avoided.

Mrs. Xing is not very familiar with the original work, she only vaguely remembers that Jia Yuanchun came to power not long after Qin Keqing died.But Xueyan remembered very clearly that she was concubine on Jia Zheng's birthday.

It's just that this time Jia Zheng is no longer the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion, so the birthday ostentation is not as big as in the book.Except for a group of juniors, Jia Amnesty, his wife, and Jia Mu were not present in person.

After the eunuch announced Jia Zheng's departure, the entire family panicked.Only Xueyan sighed in her heart: This time Yuanchun conferred the concubine, I wonder if the Grand View Garden will be built?

The good news of concubine consort Yuanchun came to Jia's mansion, and Jia's mother and others, who were originally worried, felt at ease, and they were inevitably beaming, especially Mrs. Wang, who looked at her proudly and turned over, and the serfs sang proudly.

Seeing Mother Jia holding Mrs. Wang's hand and talking intimately, Mrs. Xing murmured in her heart: Thanks to the division of the family early in the morning, otherwise I am afraid that I will be trampled under the feet.

For such a happy event, Mother Jia and the others would naturally go to the palace to thank her.Daiyu and Sanchun sent them to the second gate and put them on sedan chairs. After they had gone far, Tanchun said happily: "Big sister has lived in the palace for so many years, and this meeting finally came to an end. Follow the light on your face."

Daiyu also smiled, but frowned after returning to Zhuquanyuan.

Xueyan brewed a cup of tea and handed it to her, seeing her frowning, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's the matter, girl?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Daiyu said in a low voice: "I just don't think the title of empress is quite right. Although there was a precedent in the previous dynasty when she was bestowed with the title of Shangshu, this 'virtuous concubine' is a bit strange. Four concubines have always been 'Great, virtuous and virtuous', it's fine if it's a virtuous concubine. At least the word virtuous can be used as a title explanation, but what does this virtuous concubine mean? Is it a virtuous concubine or a virtuous concubine? The status of a virtuous concubine is slightly higher than that of a virtuous concubine Yes. The combination of these two words does not look like a title, but like..."

It's like a posthumous title!Xueyan murmured in her heart, and had to sigh again for the dexterity of Fairy Jiangzhu's mind.It's a pity that so many people in Jia's family are only caring about laughing and laughing, and others are fine. Didn't even Jia's mother think of the strangeness?

She couldn't figure it out, so she could only comfort her and said: "Your Majesty has her own destiny, and some things are beyond the control of a girl. You can just talk about these things with your slaves. My left ear is listening to my right ear. If it goes out, it will never be passed on to the third party. Now everyone in this mansion is happy, the girl must not show her whereabouts in front of others."

Daiyu nodded: "I knew it, you can understand what I mean, no matter how difficult it is for me to say this to others, no one will think that I am jealous and alarmist."

Although Jia Mu and the others came back, although they were exhausted, they were still full of joy. When they encountered such a happy event, they couldn't help but reward the servants of the family for a month.After several days, many old relatives came to congratulate and give gifts.As Daiyu was getting older, Mrs. Xing told Mother Jia that they should learn the skills of welcoming and sending them off, but Mother Jia couldn't resist her, so she just turned a blind eye.So Mrs. Xing often took them to entertain guests in Mother Jia's room recently, and Grandma Liu didn't object, after all, no matter how much theory was taught, there was no practical experience to consolidate it.

As usual, most of the people following Daiyu were Zijuan, so Xueyan had time to embroider Xing's embroidery.

After she finished embroidering this piece of embroidery, Yuanchun's family visit was also settled.

It's just different from what was written in the book, this time, because of the matter of visiting relatives and other homes, the eldest room and the second room had another quarrel.Although Jia Zhen is the head of the clan, her seniority is low. In addition, Jia She has accumulated some prestige in the clan in the past two years, so it is not good to favor Jia Zheng very much, so she has to watch from the sidelines.Jia's mother was partial to the second bedroom, and wanted to make the relatives' courtyard more luxurious, so she scolded Jia She, and said: "It is the honor of our family to be concubine. What is the intention of you, an uncle who does not say that you are doing your best, but pushes back and forth? Could it be that you despise the emperor's kindness?"

Jia Amnesty murmured in his heart: Do you think that the emperor is really kind?This is trying to weaken your power so that you can catch them all at once, but you are still here dreaming of prosperity and wealth one by one!

He was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said solemnly: "The old lady's words are a shame for my son, even if I have ten thousand

I dare not despise the emperor's kindness even if I have the guts.Such a serious crime will implicate the entire family, so please be careful, the old lady. "

Jia's mother was so angry that she didn't speak, and Jia Zhen persuaded: "Can we spread our own words outside?"

Jia Amnesty rolled her eyes in her heart: Is it any wonder it can't be passed on?Who doesn't know that Jia's servants' mouths are like a sieve, leaking everywhere?He sighed and said: "It's a good thing for a concubine to be a concubine. Naturally, I, as an uncle, won't just sit idly by. It's just that everything must be done properly. I heard that Concubine Shu's house is just a painting of seven or eight mu. , wouldn’t it be too ostentatious for our family to build such a big place together?”

Jia Zhen sneered: "Then Wu Guifei's family thinks that the house is too small, so they have moved outside the city!"

Jia She said calmly: "That's them. The Wu family has money, does our family have it? If such a big place is built, it may cost millions of taels. How can the family still have that money?"

Mother Jia, who was angry and silent at the side, spoke this time: "What about the 30 taels you got when we separated?"

"It's all spent." Jia She replied confidently.

After hearing this, Mother Jia couldn't vomit blood. She pointed at Jia She tremblingly and said, "You prodigal son, how did you waste so much money in just a few years?"

Xueyan was talking with Daiyu at Mrs. Xing's place, when suddenly a little girl ran in and shouted: "Madam, go and have a look, the old lady is going to kill the old man!"
