Queen's Road in the Red House

Jia Min stared at the treasures that Jia's mother picked out in the past, thinking.

Yuanyang stood aside all the time, and said cautiously at this time: "Old lady, you have been short of energy for the past two days, I'm afraid you forgot."

"A few days ago, you specially selected these pieces, saying that you would give the Fourth Prince a congratulatory gift on his 15th birthday."

Jia Min is not an ignorant housewife, all the female family members of officials and eunuchs know many things about the Tian family, even if it is not for planning, it is also for avoiding danger.

Although when she died, the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne.But she also saw some later things in Bomingsi.

So Jia Min knew very well that the fourth prince, the son whom the new emperor ignored the most, was born to a court lady.

With Jia's mother's status as scheming, how could she deliberately give such a heavy gift to a down-and-out prince?

Seeing the master's silence, Yuanyang continued to laugh and said, "The old lady also said that the fourth prince is a direct descendant, and his status is unparalleled. Not only the emperor values ​​it, but the emperor also loves it very much. Two months later, I will specially celebrate his 15th birthday. , so our family will also search for some treasures and send them to us."

Jia Min couldn't help trembling her fingertips: No!wrong!not like this!

The current empress is a stepmother, and has nothing to do with her. Where did she come from?

On the contrary, the new emperor's first wife, Concubine Xun, who died young in the palace, gave birth to a son, but when the son was five years old, he fell into the pond and died without even stepping into the palace gate.

Concubine Xun was weak and sick, and she died within two years under the blow of losing her son.

When the new emperor ascended the throne last year, he conferred the posthumous title of Empress Xiaoyi on the previous concubine, and enshrined the successor concubine as the current Empress of the Central Palace.

Then where did this fourth prince come from!

Jia Min quietly took a deep breath, her voice could not be heard fluctuating, and asked as if chatting: "Yes, since yesterday, I always feel dizzy."

"Now I can't remember the year when Empress Xiaoyi died."

Jia Min was calming down, but he didn't see it. Yuanyang's expression was also a little weird. At this time, Yuanyang lowered his head and said: "Empress Xiaoyi has been gone for seven years. When the new emperor ascended the throne a few years ago, when the queen named Xiaoyi, The old lady is still in the palace."

She paused and said: "At that time, the old lady said that the fourth prince is indeed the son of Empress Xiaoyi, he is very intelligent and sensitive."

Jia Min raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, showing a tired look.

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "The old lady is tired, let's settle down earlier."

----

Inside the embroidered tent with a crane holding a sesame, Jia Min thought about the news that horrified her: If it is true what Yuanyang said, then the personnel and affairs here are different from what she remembered.She has to be more careful in all her plans!

As for the other possibility, although the possibility is extremely small, it must be guarded against.

It was Yuanyang who told a lie!

After all, Yuanyang is Jia's mother's girl who gets along day and night, and Jia Min is familiar with Rongguo Mansion and her mother, but she hasn't seen her for more than ten years.So I deliberately fabricated lies to deceive!

That's why Jia Min just said that he was a little confused because of the injury.

She will make her own decision after going through multiple investigations tomorrow.

After Jia Min cleared her mind, she began to miss her daughter again: her father passed away, and I don't know how Yu'er is going to cry, I'm afraid her body will get weaker and weaker.

She closed her eyes and said silently in her heart: Yu'er, wait a little longer, mother, when I hold the Rongguo Mansion in my hands, you will be safe and happy when you come back.

It is not mandarin ducks that are on duty tonight, but pearls.

On the second gate, the two guards were smiling all over their faces: "Why is Sister Yuanyang going home suddenly? The old lady can't leave you for a moment!"

It's not that they dare to stop Yuanyang, it's just that they rarely see her, so they take the opportunity to flatter her.

Yuanyang sighed: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, so I have to go out. You also know that the old lady was injured yesterday, and she rested early today. How dare I disturb her, so I don't have time to report it in the future. I have to go tonight Go out and come back before you get up tomorrow morning."

The two also nodded.

Who doesn't know that Yuanyang's brother and sister-in-law also have a good job in the mansion because of her sister's reputation.It's just that Yuanyang's sister-in-law doesn't have enough hearts, and she often quarrels with her brother.

At this moment, Yuanyang probably went home to mediate.

Yuanyang held a sling of money on her slender fingers: "It's really hard for you to keep watch all night. You have to get up early tomorrow and open the door for me. Use this money to drink." Yuanyang smiled: "Just a little , but you are not allowed to call back to drink at night, and miss the errand to open the door!"

The servants who line up for the night are naturally young and have no background, so they are able to do the drudgery of the night.

At this time, seeing a hanging of money, and seeing the most embarrassing girl in front of the old lady talking to them in a friendly manner, I was overjoyed. I wished I could write a blood letter on the spot to assure Yuanyang that they would never delay opening the door for her tomorrow morning, and even more so. Don't talk nonsense to let people know that Yuanyang has gone out in private.

Yuanyang smiled: "Thank you very much."

After speaking, he took advantage of the hazy night and walked to the back of the mansion.

Ningrong Second Mansion occupies an entire street, and there are many offshoots living in the back porch outside the mansion. Although they are also surnamed Jia, they are the masters in name, but they live in miscellaneous small courtyards, living together with ordinary people. .

For example, Jia Yun's family, although everyone in the house politely called him Second Master Yun, their life was actually miserable, much worse than that of a slave like Zhou Rui.It is said that his neighbor is still a well-known money lender named Ni Er.

The mandarin duck's light blue skirt walked through the dark night and knocked on one of the doors.

----

The next morning.

Jia Min moved slightly in the bed, and Pearl and Amber, who had been waiting beside her, hurriedly closed the curtain, and said softly, "How does the old lady feel?"

Although this is the time to wake up in the past, the old lady was traumatized the day before yesterday, so they naturally wanted to ask.

Jia Min shook his head.

Four little maids stood on one side holding the grooming things, and Pearl and Amber came up to serve Jiamu, orderly, and everything was as usual.

Yuanyang was already standing in front of the table, and when she saw Jia Mu coming out of the inner room, she smiled and said, "Looking at the old lady's lack of energy yesterday, I didn't dare to ask you what you want for breakfast, but ordered the kitchen to come according to the order." That is, I added an extra cup of chickpea curds, so the old lady can use some."

Her eyes were clear, and she couldn't see the exhaustion from running around the house last night.

Jia Min saw a bowl of snow-white chickpeas standing in front of him.

Although this chickpea curd looks exactly like bean curd, it is made of chicken breasts that are finely minced with the back of a knife, and then mixed with egg whites to make this delicious delicacy that is as tender as bean curd but has fresh meat.Especially the chicken soup for the base soup is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the chickpea curds look good when they are cleared like clear water.

Jia Min knew very well that this was the style of the Rongguo Mansion. Even if you eat an eggplant, you need a dozen chickens to match it, to show off your wealth.

Jia Min put down the spoon, she thought, there is a better place for this cup of chickpea curd.
