The Jade of the Red Chamber

Jia Huan passed the boy's test, except for Aunt Zhao and Sister Feng who were really happy, even Tanchun was indifferent.

This matter did not attract much attention in Jia's family. It is obviously impossible to hide such a thing as the imperial examination, so he respectfully reported to the old lady and father what Jia Huan had passed.

The boy's test is just a preparation for the imperial examination.

Jia's mother was paralyzed on the bed, still unable to speak clearly; since Jia Zheng was dismissed from office, apart from working with Jia Zhen for King Zhongshun, he just stayed in the study outside to add fragrance to the red sleeves of the concubines, doing the elegant thing of reading that night.Mrs. Wang can't take care of herself now, although she is annoyed that the concubine stole Baoyu's limelight, but those foxy sons are her serious troubles now, one of them is Hongluan, Jia Zheng is very concerned about her these days, and she wants to get away from time to time The treasury rewarded her with supplements, and Mrs. Wang suspected that the bastard was pregnant!

Yingchun went back to the big room, and naturally the news was not very psychic; Tanchun saw that his aunt and father were indifferent, so he just rewarded the girl who came to announce the good news with a lot of money, and asked him to take some paper and ink to Jia Huan, only saying yes Don't be proud, be down-to-earth.Xichun was still young, and the Jia family had undergone several major changes. Her brother-in-law, Jia Zhen, and his wife couldn't remember her sister more and more. The atmosphere in the yard was dull, and she had a weird temper. Focus on.

On the contrary, Jia Lian and his wife were very happy. They not only prepared a gift, but also asked Zhao Guoji to secretly bring 100 taels of silver bills to their wives.Aunt Zhao was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She hugged her son in her arms and rubbed her son from head to toe, which made Jia Huan, who was already half a child, extremely embarrassed.

Since Lin Zhenyu returned home, she has been in a very good mood. For the first time, she gave Xi Shuangyou, who "come to visit Uncle Lin and his friends", a smiling face, which made Xi Shuangyou nervous. She was afraid that her brother-in-law and friend would make something difficult indivual.

Don't be afraid of embarrassment, isn't my very temperamental old man licking his smiling face to please his grandparents' relatives?If you want to marry a girl who is loved by others, you should suffer some difficulties!It's just that Zhenyu has had a stubborn mind since she was a child, and she is not as pure as she appears on the surface. He is afraid that Daiyu will be attracted to him...well, if she has something to his family, then it will be a big loss!

Xi Shuangyou thought of the figure that he secretly saw in the study on the day of the tea party, with a big smile on the corner of his mouth, well, the ladies and wives of this tea party had a very good impression of Daiyu, and I heard from my second aunt that there was already Many wives have asked her about the eldest daughter of the Lin family, so I have to be more active, like my mother said, it's serious to settle down first!

Mrs. Xi has already returned to Yangzhou Mansion after the tea party, she is very satisfied with Daiyu as a daughter-in-law, Mrs Xi is also happy, marrying the Lin family, it is really great!These two people wrote to Xi Shuangyou every few days urging him to go to the Lin family often. The three fathers and sons of the Lin family and the whole family loved the only girl to the bone. When entering the door, Xi Shuangyou must be prepared to peel off the skin!

Lin Zhenyu and Shui Yang have settled down.

The two stayed together for a few days in King Jing's Mansion, Shui Yang changed from his usual expressionless and scary expression, and said everything, which made Zhenyu laugh and feel ashamed. Zhenyu is settled here.

Although Lin Zhenyu felt a little awkward in his heart, it didn't seem like he was denying his own feelings for Shui Yang. If he missed this person, he thought he would never find someone who would make him more tempted and more comfortable!

After coming to this world for more than ten years, even though she has the affection and real family she longed for in her previous life, certain concepts and ways of thinking brought from that world still make Lin Zhenyu feel that she is a bit out of place here from time to time.It's okay to have younger brothers and sisters for him to worry about and pay attention to, but they will always have their own small family, and when the big brother is about to retire after his career, isn't it lonely?Shui Yang was the only one who let him have no scruples. When Xu Shi first met him, he lost all face, and Zhenyu also broke his pot. By accident, he developed a temperament that he never concealed in front of Shui Yang. No matter how disrespectful and shocking the world is, there is nothing strange about Shui Yang's words, and more importantly, this person can understand his wild ideas.

It's not easy to get a person who you can trust completely!Zhenyu is so cowardly that she accepts such an abnormal relationship without struggling at all.Shui Yang made it very clear from the very beginning: he would never allow Zhenyu to marry a wife and have children!Zhenyu can only have him by his side!In the same way, he himself is a twin for life!Those who marry concubines and have children have his third brother also explained to his mother and concubine.

Shui Yang thought about it, Zhenyu will soon be fifteen years old, and tell her brother about it first, even if she has the biggest backer.With my brother's keenness, I am afraid that he already has a little understanding of his thoughts on Zhenyu.

Furthermore, Zhenyu is a very thoughtful person. Although he lives in the Imperial Academy, although he is noble, he is not as capable of doing practical things as Liubu and his subordinates. It is time to change Zhenyu's position, and we can do some things with him in the future. Errands, Shui Yang thinks that the two of them are doing errands together, and there are not so many people to disturb and distract, isn't he happy in his heart!

Uncle Lin himself still showed some intentions or "false lies" slowly, so that Uncle could be prepared, and Shui Yang was still a little guilty of abducting his long-awaited son without saying a word.Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, for the time being, the good friendship between him and Zhenyu has already shocked Uncle Zhou, if he said such a thing again, he might be labeled as ill-intentioned immediately.

In Zichen Palace, Shui Zhan was thinking about his younger brother's words, and Lin Zhenyu understood him. He had been friends with him since he was a child, and he had paid close attention to this kid all these years. He was Huaiyi (remember? Mr. Ye's Words) the only disciple, naturally more important than others, naturally know that this person has some brains, those whimsical ideas are indeed surprising.

Although he is still young, it is not a bad idea to practice in the six departments, but which one is a problem: the official minister is about to retire, Lin Ruhai will take over soon, it is obviously inappropriate for Lin Zhenyu to go there; the household department, Lin Zhenyu Those money-making methods and management methods are very suitable, but others don't know, he knows in his heart that Zhou Bing is this kid's biological uncle, and he will inevitably be tied up if he goes there, so this is not suitable; Ministry of Rites... Ministry of Punishment... Ministry of Industry?Again!

Shui Zhan picked up a pen and wrote the word "工".

The Ministry of Industry is the most thankless place. It manages miscellaneous things and there is no oil and water. If there is a mistake, it may be the agricultural work of the world. .Fortunately, in recent years, the Ministry of Industry has attached great importance to the Ministry of Industry, and the status of the Ministry of Industry has improved. Nowadays, many practical officials in various provinces are promoted from the Ministry of Industry.

Shui Zhan was thinking about it when Wei Jinchao rushed to report: "Your Majesty! The old sage passed away in Xianfu Palace!"

Raising his eyes slightly, Shui Zhan's dark eyes glide with a trace of sternness and a smile.smile? !Wave your hands and start driving.Shui Zhan thought to himself: This so-called Qin beauty has neat hands and feet, what does that person look like now?I'm afraid the feeling in my heart is not good.Ah.

In the bedroom of Xianfu Palace, it was hard for him to catch his breath. The Supreme Emperor panted rapidly, propped up half of his body, stared straight at the qin who was kneeling beside the couch, and murmured: "What you said is true. ?!"

Baoqin's eyes were filled with tears, and the teardrops fell straight down. The pear blossoms were crying with rain, which was pitiful, but the Supreme Emperor didn't care about it at this time. Seeing her crying and nodding her head, she seemed to be drained of strength. He snorted twice, and slumped on his back on the couch.

Baoqin lowered his head and wiped his tears, covering the indifferent expression in his eyes.

……

Just now holding the qin and pretending to be panicked, he rushed into the Xianfu Palace, bluffing the palace people and the Supreme Emperor, the beauty of the qin is now his favorite, so he hurriedly asked.

It is also the bad luck of Concubine Jia Gui and the Jia family. Baoqin's pretense of not forgetting the old master is of course to relax Jia Yuanchun's defenses and please the old saint, but the most important thing is to let her do and say in the future. The words are logical and make people feel reasonable.

Although Jia Yuanchun and the Jia family hated holding the qin for taking away their favor, they thought that the current body of the imperial concubine could not serve her bed, and if she was proud, others might as well hold the qin cheaply. With the girl holding the qin, she could always mention Mrs. Jia Gui in front of the old sage. Concubine; secondly, since she is tied to the same boat as King Zhongshun, Baoqin, a girl who is not favored by Concubine Wan and King Zhongshun, can be of great use in the future!For these reasons, the radiant and more youthful and beautiful Baoqin dangled in front of Yuanchun every day. Even though Yuanchun hated him fiercely, he didn't take out the small bottle Jiamu gave her that day.

Mother Jia was paralyzed, so of course she couldn't visit the palace with the family members of Jiaofang. Madam Xing didn't come to join in the fun, so she finally held the piano and talked while the emperor was happy. .This was delayed for some time.

Today is the 26th. Beauty Qin went to bed yesterday. She happily chatted with the emperor this morning, so she asked to go to Wangchun Palace to meet the old mistress and ask her family about her status. It is too low, and the family background is too poor, but the family members cannot enter the palace to visit.Unexpectedly, less than half an hour had passed before Beauty Qin stumbled into the old saint's bedroom with a panicked expression on her face without being notified.

The emperor waved back the palace servants who came in to plead guilty, and asked kindly what happened to Baoqin?Baoqin's face was pale and trembling, knowing that the Supreme Emperor lost his patience and showed a little anger, so he spoke in a sob.

It turned out that she took her maid to the Palace of Wangchun, and found that none of the maids waiting outside was gone, so she was surprised and asked the maid to wait outside, and she went in by herself, but unexpectedly heard Jia Gui talking to Mrs. Wang, and the words seemed to be a shocking secret .Holding the piano in a fright, his soul was blown away, and he hurriedly retreated out.She wanted to hide it from the Jia family, but she couldn't match her conscience, and she didn't want to deceive the old sage to speak out.

……

Although the Taishanghuang didn't faint for a long time, this incident really hit him too hard. A few days ago, the third son told him that the ex-prince's affairs failed that day, and almost all his wives, concubines and heirs were strangled by himself, leaving only the most favored A girl born to the side concubine survived after being secretly taken to the shantang. She was adopted by Qin Ye and married to the eldest grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. He died young without even having a child, before the girl from the Jia family became a concubine.

Although the Supreme Emperor was heartbroken that the only blood and blood left by the crown prince had no heirs and went away, but the emperor said that the Jia family treated her very well, and even the funeral would rather violate the etiquette and give her the best, and he felt comforted in his heart. Still thinking about when to promote Concubine Jia's father and brothers.

Unexpectedly, the truth of what Baoqin heard today was that the Jia family knew the identity of this girl long ago, and they tried every means to marry her because they were not in the right family, and they were thinking about when it would be useful!

And the cause of his granddaughter's death was even more unbearable!It was the Jia family who wanted to put Jia Yuanchun on the throne, fearing that the status of the Qin family would implicate Jia Yuanchun, and felt that this person was useless, so they gave him the debilitating wolf and tiger medicine, hoping to slowly exhaust him she!It is even more hateful that Jia Zhen, who is inferior to pigs and dogs, raped her own daughter-in-law!It made even the servants get drunk and call "climbing ashes"!The Qin family couldn't bear the humiliation, hanging on a rope to hang Jia's family, but they acted in such a mournful and honorable manner, which made people hate and disgust!

The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes. He remembered that the crown prince liked this daughter very much in the early years, and even brought him into the palace to show him. The girl had grown up very well since she was a child. At first glance, she could see that she would be beautiful in the future. The girl I doted on all the time ended up in such an unbearable end!He just wanted to restore her identity, but with such a shameful reputation, it was impossible!

The Supreme Emperor hated him very much. In fact, he didn't have much real affection for this granddaughter. He just transferred his desire for the former crown prince to the Qin family. What's more, the veteran who trusted him and protected him from the beginning to the end. Deceived and calculated oneself became angry from embarrassment!

There is also the induction of the words of holding the piano for a long time. He feels in his heart that he is a very emotional and benevolent monarch. He himself believes in such self-deception. The concubine hates it so much?

The powerful eunuch outside came in and announced, "Old sage, the emperor is here."

At such a time, how could the Supreme Emperor want his young and vigorous son to see him in a state of embarrassment.Sui said: "Tell the emperor to go back, I'm tired." He thought in his heart that he must teach the Jia family and the Jia family a very harsh lesson, so as to calm his anger!

Shui Zhan stood outside for a while, and when he heard the old sage's refusal as expected, he gave a worried look to the chief eunuch of Xianfu Palace, and then went back to the bedroom.In my heart, I know exactly what the Supreme Emperor is thinking at this time, but how could he let the Emperor clean up the Jia family so easily, but there is still a greater shock that will be brought to him by the Jia family or through the mouth of the Jia family Woolen cloth!

After all, this matter is disgraceful, and there is only one side of Baoqin. The Supreme Emperor ordered someone to recruit Jia Gui.Jia Yuanchun was overjoyed, and she deliberately dressed up before going. The golden phoenix crown and ruby ​​swayed, reflecting her lack of vitality and blood, which also added a bit of coquettishness.

But as soon as she left Wangchun Palace, the newly promoted female officer next to her was knocked down by a young eunuch who bowed her head. Yuanchun was furious, such a bad luck!The little eunuch ran away without looking up.

The female official was trembling, and unobtrusively presented a note to the imperial concubine, but it was the little eunuch who just took advantage of the collision and stuffed it into her hand, and she heard a low voice: "Something has happened! Empress!"

Yuan Chun frowned and opened the note. There was only one sentence on it: "The Qin incident happened!" Jia Yuanchun was so shocked that he could hardly stand up!

Hastily went back to Wangchun Palace, with countless thoughts in her mind, this matter of Qin Keqing has always been her heart disease, at the beginning she told the emperor to show her loyalty to win her position, but she didn't want to be valued by the emperor and became a concubine. The matter has become a handle held by the Jia family in Jinshang's hands, and now that Rongning and Ningfu are on the side of Prince Zhongshun, she is even more worried that one day Jinshang will report this matter to the emperor!Jia Yuanchun had already determined that this was what he did today, and guessed in his heart that the little eunuch was loyal to the prince's side.

Take off all the pearls and hairpins, put on plain clothes, wipe off the makeup on the face, although the dull and pale face is not good-looking, but I don't care about it.

On the way to Xianfu Palace in a hurry, although Jia Yuanchun was worried, he already had some countermeasures in mind.I have to say, the Jia family is very strange, the girls brought up in the boudoir are several times stronger than the men outside!Jia Mu and Jia Yuanchun were even worse. If they hadn't thought too highly of themselves and their hearts were too high, and had corrected their attitudes earlier, the Jia family would not have ended up in such a situation!

After all, after serving the old sage for such a long time, Jia Yuanchun still knew a thing or two about his temperament, especially the Supreme Emperor who was very suspicious, didn't particularly like the present, and often even had some doubts in it.Jia Yuanchun was willing to go all out, although he couldn't and didn't have the guts to push this matter completely to Jinshang to get rid of the Rongning and Ningfu, but at least it aroused the suspicion of the old sage to buy himself and the Jia family some time.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun was somewhat resentful towards the Rongguo Mansion and Mrs. Wang. Not only could she not provide her with some support, but she also offended several in-laws who were able to speak in the previous court, and dragged her down from time to time, giving her several times. Bringing almost annihilated guilt!

Looking pale and weak, Jia Yuanchun was already prepared for the emperor's thunderous wrath, even though he was frightened, Jia Yuanchun still spoke with a trembling voice when he exchanged tears.

Barely mustering up his courage, Jia Yuanchun was evasive about his extravagant hopes for the Jia family, but every word provocatively hinted at his feelings for the old prince Yizhong.Ask your cronies to check.

Shui Zhan heard the news from the eunuch of Xianfu Palace, and looked at Shui Yang, the brothers' eyes were full of sternness and sneering.It is precisely because he needs his own cronies to investigate, so that he can find out more truths that they are willing to let him know, so that he can trust him more, right?

Just when will the old sage of "benevolence" understand what it means-one emperor and one courtier?
