The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

When the movement calmed down, the old lady naturally knew that the two sons solved the mess left by the old man without telling her. Mother Jia couldn't tell what it was like. Knowing the role of the eldest daughter-in-law this time, Mother Jia Call Jia Zheng and his wife and tell them that the Rongxi Hall finally changed hands.

The deficit matter was settled, and the saddest person among them was Mrs. Wang, who moved out of Rongxi Hall, seeing that the power of the housekeeper could not be kept, but these two incidents were nothing compared to other news.

Jia Zhu heard from the fifteenth prince that it was the censor who owed a huge amount of money to impeach the Jia family, and this censor was a member of the third prince.After following the clues, he finally found out Wang Ziteng.

After a long circle, it was Mrs. Wang's elder brother and Jia Zhu's uncle, Wang Ziteng, who finally caused the incident. This blow made Mrs. Wang seem ten years older. Not long ago, she For the sake of her natal family, she was separated from her husband and son.

Compared with the full support of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hu's natal family, Mrs. Wang couldn't tell what it was like.

Xian Renyi Jia Zhu passed on fame and climbed to high branches Wang Ren married a noble daughter

The huge amount of 500 million taels was paid off at one time. This time, the Jia family was in the limelight. Wang Ziteng originally wanted to make Jia's house fall into a big fall, but who would have thought that not only did he not succeed, but because of this, his new Highness the Third Highness who had taken refuge in him would be against him? The Jia family became interested, and the money was of great use. It is inseparable from the money to win over ministers and plant one's own eyeliner.

Even Prince Yizhong, who had severed ties with the Jia family a while ago, regained his thoughts. Unexpectedly, this Jia amnesty would be useful, so he sent someone to win him over again.

However, the Wang family has become a laughing stock in Beijing. The Wang family and the Jia family have been friends for several generations, and they are even close relatives. Stealing the chicken without losing the rice made the prince pissed off, and he stopped for a while.

The relationship between Jia's family and Wang's family had just become close, and it had dropped to a freezing point again. Jia Zhu was really bored with his uncle, but Zhao Ningchuan disagreed when it came to the severance of diplomatic relations between Jia and Wang's families.

"Nowadays the Wang family is not benevolent, but the Jia family cannot be unjust. The more magnanimous the Jia family is now, the more cunning the Wang family will appear to the world in the eyes of the world. It's nothing. As time goes by, the affairs of the Wang family are gradually forgotten. People in the world will say that even though the Wang family made mistakes at the beginning, the Jia family's behavior is too heartless and narrow-minded. Especially you, Zhuer, this Wang family It’s your mother clan, if you say this, it will have a lot of influence on Zhu’er’s reputation.”

Jia Zhu nodded and remembered Zhao Ningchuan's words. From then on, she and Wang's family seemed neither close nor far away. They didn't interact with each other on weekdays, but Jia Zhu was always courteous on festivals, Wang Ziteng's and his wife's birthdays, etc. It looks thicker than before.

This kind of behavior fell into the eyes of others, as Zhao Ningchuan said, it earned Jia Zhu a lot of face, let alone outsiders, let's talk about family members.

Jia Zheng was even more satisfied with Jia Zhu. When it came to the shortfall, Jia Zhu’s calmness made Jia Zheng feel like "my family has a baby who is just growing up" for the first time. Looking at Jia Zhu's attitude towards his uncle now , I feel more and more that my son has a generous and tolerant temperament. When my colleagues in the ministry mentioned Jia Zhu, they all gave their thumbs up and praised him, which made Jia Zheng even more happy.

Mrs. Wang saw that her natal family behaved like this, and Zhu'er respected her uncle even more. She thought that she had wronged Zhu'er in the past. At first, she only thought that Zhu'er was only close to his aunt and father, but she had feelings for her uncle. Indifference; looking at it now, I think I was thinking about it. The relationship between Ping and Bai Niang has been separated for so long, and I feel even more guilty towards Jia Zhu in my heart, and I have regarded Jia Zhu as a treasure since then.

The better Jia Zhu's reputation here, the worse the Wang family's reputation over there. When Wang Ziteng heard that someone said that he had lived most of his life, but he was not as sensible as a half-old child, he felt so suffocated and gritted his teeth secretly. Said: "What a treacherous boy!" Since then, he has tried every means to overwhelm the Jia family, make Jia Zhu look good, and even more tightly curry favor with the third prince.

Now that Jia Zhu is twelve years old, there are many families with daughters of the right age who are eager to get close to the Jia family and want to make marriages for their children, but the Jia family has never expressed anything, and Wang Ziteng's eldest son has turned ten years old this year. Sixth, Wang Ziteng used to pick and choose but never negotiated with others, but now he is even more determined to choose a family background and appearance for his son.

In the end, with the matchmaking of the third prince, Wang Ziteng arranged for his son Wang Ren the second lady Xiao Yuan of the General Zhenguo's Mansion. This is a serious clan with royal blood. Wang Ziteng is very satisfied with this marriage, and feels elated. Fan, walk with wind.

The third prince is also very satisfied, this General Zhen Guo's mansion belongs to the line of Prince Yizhong, and now the royal family under his family is married to his family, which shows that his prestige has already surpassed that one.

Jia Zhu didn't feel anything after hearing this. Whether someone marries the clan has nothing to do with him. To be honest, the Wang family is a close relative. It is said that marrying a wife is low, and marrying a daughter is high. Now the Wang family ranks high in such a clan My dear daughter, the stability of the house in the future is uncertain.

Jia Zhu didn't feel anything, but Jia Amnesty blew up. It turned out that this General Zhen Guo's mansion was not another house, but Xiao Kun's family who knocked Jia Zhen off his horse and cultivated for a long time. The eldest son of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, this second lady is his sister.

Isn't this blatantly denying him face?Even if Jia Zhen is not directly related to Wang Ziteng, the two houses of Rongning and Ning are connected with each other. Jia Zhen is still the eldest son of the Jia family, and Jia Zhen and Jia She are good friends all the year round. A while ago, the Wang family tripped up the Rongguo Mansion, and the Jia family didn't say anything. What's going on now? Seeing that the Rongguo Mansion is easy to bully, they put on their noses and make Ningguo Mansion look bad?

Originally, when both Prince Yizhong and the third prince once again offered Jia She an attractive offer, Jia She was still shaken in his heart, and coupled with Jia Zhen's instigation, the two of them still wanted to take advantage of the third prince's favor. Well, now that this donkey loses his temper, he hates both of them.Who made the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which used to belong to Prince Yizhong, now get involved with the third prince's Wang family?

When Jia Zhu heard the news, she didn't know if she should be grateful to her uncle. Before Jia Zhen had Uncle Jing on her side, she was very relieved, but on her uncle's side, he was still thinking about how to make him stop. He got a headache from thinking about it, and this time it was a big help to him.

Jia Zhu is not in a hurry, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are in a hurry. Wang Ren is an idle guy. Now he is sixteen. Daughter, my own Zhu'er can't lower his head, and now Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are even more picky about choosing Jia Zhu's fiancée.

Even the fifteen princes in the palace fought against Jia Zhu on the side of the emperor: "Father, you have to make the decision for Jia Zhu. The royal family was so vicious before, and Jia Zhu even retaliated with virtue. Jia Zhu's heart is too pure." , son, I can’t stand it anymore!”

The emperor is also very tired of the Wang family now. In the past, for the sake of Mrs. Wang's diligence and loyalty for so many years, he turned a blind eye to Wang Ziteng's pursuit, but only slightly punished him.

Now the Wang family not only doesn't know how to be grateful, but has become more and more presumptuous, completely forgetting who gave them the present dignity, and the emperor's last bit of favor to the Wang family has been wiped out.

Now is not the time to move the Wang family, but it is also time to beat the Wang family again.

Seeing the indignant look of his favorite fifteenth prince, the emperor said with a smile: "That Yuan'er can't see it, what reward do you want to give Jia Zhu?"

Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes and said to the emperor: "Royal father, didn't the Wang family just marry the daughter of a general who ruled the country for his son? My son saw that Jia Zhu was a very nice person, with good knowledge and martial arts, and he was the best in his heart." Yes, I have made a pact with him again, if I can let him be my brother-in-law, I will be most satisfied!"

"Nonsense, what is Jia Zhu's status, how can he be a princess!" The emperor stared.

"Father, Jia Zhu's ancestor was also a prince after all. Jia Zhu's thoughts must have been seen by the father. He is a martial artist. Although his status is still low now, if he wins military exploits for his father in the future, he will be afraid." Is the status not enough?" Xiao Yuan saw that although the emperor's eyes were staring, but his face was not very unhappy, he secretly thought there was something in his heart, and hurriedly said again.

"Okay, this is beyond the point of view. Your father has listened to what you said. I will mention it later. You must not spread this word, you know?" After the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Yuan pouted, muttering to himself.

"What? Are you still not convinced?" The emperor was annoyed, and his tone hardened.

"I don't dare, it's just father, you've seen it too. Nowadays, every family in the capital with girls looks at Jia Zhu like a wolf looks at fat. I'm afraid that I will wait for my father to treat Jia Zhu." If Zhu is satisfied, all Jia Zhu's children will say, 'Kowtow to the emperor'!" Xiao Yuan's words extinguished all the anger that had just risen up in the emperor.

This Yuaner!The emperor couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "Okay, okay, since that's the case, I'll mention the Jia family first."

Only then did Xiao Yuan smile contentedly: "Thank you, Father!"

When Madam Wang was ordered to enter the palace this month, the queen deliberately left Mrs. Wang to talk. It was the first time Mrs. Wang was left to talk by the queen, and she felt a little nervous, and she didn't dare to raise her head, and she bowed her head respectfully and remained silent.

But the queen said kindly: "Yuan'er always talks about Jia Shidu with Bengong, Jia Shidu is a good boy, but the child is only 12 years old, it is the time when he has nothing else to do, don't let other things delay him After leaving him, I heard that the family is choosing a marriage for Jia Shidu?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "What you said to the empress is the negligence of the concubine, please forgive me."

The queen smiled and said: "Poor parents all over the world are mothers. I can understand your feelings. You don't have to worry. The emperor is also aware of the child's grievances. In the future, he will definitely make decisions for the child. A good relationship."

Mrs. Wang was dizzy until Xie En left the palace. Mother Jia also got the same words from Concubine Shu. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together, it seems that Zhu Er's marriage was taken over by the emperor. I thought, the wife I pointed out to Zhu'er in the future must be a prince and noble daughter, which is much more respectable than some other families.

After getting the word from the palace, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang stopped to show Jia Zhu to see each other. Facing those wives, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both spoke the same words and did not want to make an engagement to Jia Zhu so early.

After Jia Zhu learned everything from the fifteenth prince, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Isn't this putting me in trouble? The emperor will never agree to a son-in-law or something, but even if you point me to a girl from the earl's family in the future, it will be my side who will be the one!" In the future, maybe there will be a lot of restlessness, but now it's his turn?

"What you said is wrong, why, don't you even have the intention of earning a title in the future?" The fifteenth prince frowned, "On weekdays, I see that you want to make achievements, maybe I was wrong No?"

"A man should make his own career, but you know the situation of our family. It's easy to make money, but it's not easy to count on it in exchange for a title?" There are very few people who have passed their fathers, let alone the distinction between high and low titles. Jia Zhu is the clearest about his father's ability, and it is the safest thing to be a senior official in the ministry. , this time it was a fluke to get the knighthood, how could it be a step higher?

Celebrate the reunion of old friends

The fifteenth prince was kind after all, even though Jia Zhu felt annoyed, she was still very grateful to the fifteenth prince.

In the twinkling of an eye, the two brothers of the Deng family were off the stage again this year. Shi Shaokuan was ill and failed to end last year, but this year was the first time. Teach one or two.

After the results came out, Deng Jun won the second class, Deng Zhao won the third class, Shi Shaokuan lived up to his reputation as a young talent, and entered the first class. The emperor admired Shi's family style and cherished Shi Shaokuan's talent, so he appointed Shi Shaokuan as the number one scholar in the palace examination.

Jia Zhu and Qi Hao were planning to hold a banquet for Shi Shaokuan, when they received another piece of good news. Wei Shu, an old friend from Jinling, also came to Beijing with his family. .Double happiness, this time not only for Shi Shaokuan's high school celebration, but also for Wei Shu, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

When the four of them gathered again, Wei Shu was the most emotional. During the banquet, he joked: "Now Qi Hao is the emperor's guard, Jia Zhu has become the prince's attendant, and his future is boundless. Shao Kuan is the top student in high school. Now I am the only one." The most down, it is worthy to be a small official from the eighth rank."

Jia Zhu smiled and said: "Brother Wei, your temperament is just right in Honglu Temple. Although you are a master at present, it is inevitable that you will be promoted step by step."

Wei Shu also laughed when he heard the words: "You all know me, I am the most impatient in studying, and I can't bear the hardship of martial arts. Honghe Temple is just to receive those foreign barbarians. If the country is prosperous today, Honghe Temple The back of the temple is straight, but I am in Honglu Temple, so it is not easy to mess around."

After that, Wei Shu glanced at Jia Zhu: "Jia Zhu will be punished with three glasses of wine. Brother, I was run out at Honglu Temple, but you still have the credit."

Jia Zhu was taken aback: "Me? Honglu Temple..."

"Couldn't it be that the old man of the Wang family has a very deep foundation in Honglu Temple. Although he has returned to his hometown after returning to his official position, no one has had tea. I heard that your family and the Wang family have a quarrel?" Wei Shu said slowly.

Jia Zhu smiled wryly: "So that's the reason, but it's my younger brother who dragged Brother Wei down."

Qi Hao squinted at Wei Shu who was smiling, and said to Jia Zhu: "Don't listen to him pretending to be wronged here, who doesn't know now that the Wei family is a celebrity in front of the emperor. He can't be promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the Wei family has this ability, who doesn't look at the Wei family in the capital right now, who dares to run on him from the gang of Honglu Temple?"

Wei Shu chuckled: "Qi Hao, you know how to tear me down!"

Qi Hao stared, then asked Shi Shaokuan: "Now that Shaokuan has won the No. [-] Scholar, he must be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Is there any regulation after that? Do you want to stay in Beijing and become a Beijing official, or let him out? "

Qi Hao is not worried about Wei Shu, who has a smooth personality, but Shi Shaokuan is really a bookworm. Although he has changed a little after getting to know Wei Shu, it is still not right. Nodding in his heart, the Beijing official is okay, Qi Hao is definitely not going to leave Beijing, and he can take care of him a little bit, if he is released outside, with Shi Shaokuan's temperament, I'm afraid he will suffer some hardships.

Shi Shaokuan said: "Since I entered the court as an official, I should repay the emperor's kindness and show compassion to the people, so I thought about letting it out, starting from the county magistrate, and serving as an official for one of the parents."

Sure enough...the three of them knew Shi Shaokuan's temperament from their hearts, and they didn't persuade him, they all nodded and said: "Shao Kuan will definitely be a good official in the future."

Shi Shaokuan smiled, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of youthful pride. Shi Shaokuan and Wei Shu had the most fun during this reunion. Both of them got drunk, and finally Jia Zhu and Qi Hao sent them back to their residences.

On the way back, Jia Zhu and Qi Hao looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. Jia Zhu said: "Brother Shi's temperament, I am afraid that he will suffer in the local area."

Qi Hao nodded and sighed: "He is very stubborn, and others will not listen to him, which is really worrying. The place is complicated. All these years, my father has been in charge of the place. I look at it coldly, and it is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It is nothing to worry about accidentally losing an official position, but I am afraid that there will be a prison sentence and a risk of life."

Jia Zhu nodded and said: "Even so, since he has made up his mind, it's useless for us to worry about him. We might as well think of a way for him. It's best to find a suitable staff to help him."

Qi Hao's eyes lit up: "It's a good idea. Right now he will stay in the Imperial Academy for a few more years. Let's take a look. If there is a suitable person, it will be the luck of that nerd."

At the intersection of stones, Qi Hao and Jia Zhu went in different directions, and they went back to their respective homes. On the way home, Jia Zhu rode on a horse, thinking about the expression on Shi Shaokuan's face just now, a smile appeared on his face. If you are poor, you will take care of yourself alone. A gentleman enters an official position and is loyal to the emperor and the people. Based on this, he must find a way to protect brother Shi.

Back at Jia's mansion, Jia Zhu went to greet Jia Mu in the yard, but Jia Mu was not in the room. After asking, she found out that it was the eldest aunt who had moved.

It turned out that Mrs. Hu had signs early this morning. The family had already prepared Mrs. Wen, and the start went smoothly. Mrs. Hu was strong and strong, and Mrs. Wen also said that the fetal position was very correct.Who knew that in the end Mrs. Hu was so painful that she lost her strength, and the child still hadn't been born. At this time, Wen Po was also sweating profusely, saying that the child was too big, and she was afraid it would be difficult to give birth. Now Jia Mu couldn't sit still. , to the side of Rongxi hall, so Jia Zhu was in vain.

Jia Zhu was still young and an unmarried brother, so it was inconvenient for the maid to tell him this, but even Jia's mother went to the Rongxi Hall in person, and Jia Zhu also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the eldest aunt.

At this time, Jia Lian, who lived in Dongnuange, was walking towards Jia Mu's room with short, chubby legs. When she saw Jia Zhu, she rushed towards her: "Brother, hug me!"

When catching Jia Lian, a scent of rouge came to her face. Jia Zhu frowned, and looked at Jia Lian up and down. Jia Lian is now four years old. Although she is a little fat, she is fair and handsome with red lips and white teeth. The eyes are especially like his mother, Mrs. Li, and the fragrance of the powder on her body at this time adds a touch of femininity, which makes Jia Zhu still happy.

Now that Jia Lian's biological mother is dead, her grandmother was afraid that her step-wife would treat Jia Lian poorly, so she kept Jia Lian by her side all the time. These two families were full of female relatives, and they were surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law. Even young children were uncommon. Surrounded by servant girls, it's no wonder that Jia Lian is more feminine now.

It seems that it is time for Lian'er to move out of her grandmother's side. Jia Zhu thought about this Mrs. Hu. Although she looked fierce, she was really not the kind of evil mother who would treat Lian'er harshly. Besides, nowadays Lian'er has grown to be four years old, and when he goes outside, he can entrust Mr. Zhao to enlighten Lian'er first, and then he can look after Lian'er from the side.

"Lian'er is already a little man. How can he be hugged every day? Your big sister hasn't been hugged since she was two years old. Lian'er is no match for your big sister!"

After Jia Zhu finished speaking, Jia Lian refused. She broke free from Jia Zhu's arm, stood on the ground with her little head held high and said in disbelief, "I'm not being compared by big sister!"

Just as he was talking, a little girl from outside the door came in through the curtain. Although this girl was not very old, she was dressed in a bright green satin gown, covered with a light yellow waistcoat, which was also made of high-quality materials. The last pair of hat earrings also looked very valuable. Jia Zhu took a second look and realized that she was a rough girl next to the old lady. He had forgotten her name, but looking at it now, she seemed to be She looks like a first-class girl.

"Brother Lian, it's still cold in the ground. The soles of these shoes are thin. Keep them cool carefully." After saluting Jia Zhu, the girl was about to hug Jia Lian as she spoke.

"No, big sister won't be hugged when she's two years old. I'm already four years old, so I can't be compared to big sister!" Jia Lian pushed away the girl's outstretched arm and looked at Jia Zhu proudly.

The girl's expression froze, and then she smiled and said to Jia Zhu: "Master, please persuade brother Lian, the nurse of the former brother made a mistake and let him play on the ground for a while longer. , I had a stomachache at night, and the old lady gave me a good reprimand, but now the servants can be more careful, and don't dare to disturb the old lady."

Jia Zhu asked: "Oh? You are careful. I see that you have a kind face. You are by the old lady's side. What's your name?"

The girl smiled and said: "The slave is Emerald, so it turns out that the old lady is just a rough girl, it's hard for the uncle to remember the slave."

Jia Zhu nodded: "Since you are by the old lady's side, you should know the rules. Lian'er is four years old now, so there is no reason to be hugged all day. The soles of the underground cool shoes are thicker. Who is this needlework?" Don’t you even understand the truth?”

When Fei Cui heard the smile on her face, she couldn't hold on anymore, her eye circles were a little red, and she said cowardly: "What the uncle taught me is that the servants were negligent."

Jia Zhu said with a serious face: "After all, she is still young and not careful enough. Be more careful in the future. Where is Lian'er's nanny?"

Fei Cui hurriedly replied: "Nurse told the old lady to send her outside."

"It's Lian'er's nanny after all, the old lady is angry, you people should persuade me, you know?" Jia's family has always been kind to brother and sister's nanny, this time the old lady actually took Lian'er's nanny They all kicked out and promoted this little girl to this position. Jia Zhu couldn't believe that this girl didn't put eye drops in front of Jia's mother.

"Yes, servant girl knows." Fei Cui lowered her head lower and lower, looking extremely aggrieved.

Jia Zhu frowned, said nothing, and ordered Liu Fang after going out, "Check Lian'er's nanny's character, and the jadeite beside Lian'er."

If it's good, tell Mother Jia to transfer her back. If it's really bad, then find another suitable nanny for Jia Lian. And that jade, if it's not right, it's absolutely impossible to stay with Lian'er. of.

Here Liu Fang went to inquire about Jia Lian's nanny. At this time, Mrs. Hu finally gave birth to a child, a boy weighing eight catties.

In the evening, when Jia's mother mentioned the child, she also had a smile on her face: "This child is really strong, unlike the other children who are born like thin monkeys. They are white and fat, and they are attractive."

Jia's mother was happy, and everyone else laughed. At this time, Jia Zhu had already heard Liu Fang's report. Jia Lian's nanny, Lu Shi, was quite good-natured.

The old lady kept Jia Lian by her side because she was afraid that Jia Lian would be treated harshly by her stepmother. Now when Mrs. Hu married in, Jia's mother saw that this daughter-in-law was not such a mean person.

It's just that Mrs. Hu herself has given birth to a son now, and Lian'er is the eldest son of Dafang, and it will be justifiable to inherit the title in the future, but now who doesn't know that Jia She's elevated title is the money piled up by Mrs. Hu's natal family , if Mrs. Hu plots for her son, this...

Thinking of this, Jia's mother wavered again. Seeing that Jia's mother remained silent for a while, Jia Zhu smiled again: "Lian'er is now at the time of enlightenment, Mr. Zhao is very knowledgeable, and he feels the safest way to enlighten his grandson. Lian'er looks smart, so don't delay."

Mother Jia listened to Jia Zhu planning everything for Jia Lian, and felt very comforted in her heart. This brotherhood depends entirely on getting along with each other. Isn't Zhu'er and Lian'er feeling better than brothers? With feelings, the brothers will live in harmony in the future, which is the greatest blessing.

So, Mother Jia finally nodded, Jia Zhu brought up the matter of the nanny again, Mother Jia's anger had long since dissipated, and the nanny was usually safe, Mother Jia nodded, and transferred her in, but Lu didn't think much Can come in again, kowtow to the old lady for a while, can't help but promise that there will be no negligence in the future.

Jia Zhu didn't like the gossip jadeite, and now she had no reason to drive her away from Jia Lian, so Jia Zhu had no choice but to ask Jia Mu for the jadeite to her side, and Jia Mu looked at Jia Zhu with a half-smile. : "Pearl is grown up now."

Jia Zhu was chilled by Jia Mu's eyes, Jia Lian, Jia Lian, as a brother, he sacrificed his "famous character" for you. If you grow up to the virtues of your previous life in the future, how can you be regarded as a brother? pack you up!

Following the turmoil in the capital of Shengjia, punishing the rebels against Jia's family is worry-free

Jia Lian has been with Jia's mother since he could remember, and he feels very strange to his father, Jia She. Jia Lian is familiar with Jia's mother because he often greets her, so he is closer to Mrs. Hu than to his father.

If Jia Lian’s favorite is Jia Cong’s half-brother Jia Cong, Jia Lian saw Jia Cong for the first time, a small child, chubby, white and tender, lying on the bed, waving his small arms with big eyes Seeing Jia Lian laughing with his toothless mouth open, Jia Lian instantly became proud of being an older brother.

Finally, there is a little guy who is younger than himself!Jia Lian squeezed the little guy's chubby arms and grinned too.

At the beginning, some people looked coldly at how Mrs. Hu would treat Jia Lian, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Hu treated Jia Lian well in everything, and no one could find any faults. All the decorations for Jia Lian's room were grand. My lord, it looks noble but not vulgar, and it is also proper for Jia Lian's two first-class maids.

At first, Jia Lian was still a little reluctant to part with Fei Cui, so he took Fei Cui's hand and said, "Good sister, my brother loves me the most. I'll go and talk to my brother and ask you to stay, and my brother will definitely agree."

But at this time, Fei Cui's thoughts were no longer on Jia Lian, so she only smiled and coaxed him, but didn't mention that she wanted to stay.At this time, as soon as Mrs. Hu had more maidservants beside him, Jia Lian also forgot about her reluctance.

When Jia Zhu learned of Fei Cui's behavior, she was even more displeased with her, and told Xin Lan to watch her more, and to find a wrong place in the future and just dismiss her.

At that time, Nanny Zhou always looked down upon a girl like Fei Cui the most. At this time, she didn't need Xinlan to stare at her, but Nanny Zhou was facing this Fei Cui alone, just like a black-eyed chicken. It was Madam Wang who needed it, so naturally she didn't dare to offend her, but secretly hated her, thinking of ways to win over Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu didn't bother to pay attention to the girl's various hints, and now Jia Zhu is busy running for Fang Xin - Fang Xin won the Wu Jinshi this time as he wished, and now he is waiting for the officials to find a vacancy.

Fang Xin wanted to go back to the south of the Yangtze River to fill in the vacancies. After all, he was worried that his sister and mother, two women, would support the family in the south.In the end, Fang Xin fulfilled his wish to make up for the lack of the eighth-rank governor of Yingtianfuwei Commander Division, and left Beijing to take up his post.

As soon as he was free, it was time for the emperor to move to the summer resort in the suburbs of Beijing to discuss politics.

Every year at this time, the emperor will serve the queen mother to move to the summer resort. The most different thing this time is that the queen mother is ill and has not moved. The emperor reprimanded him for his misbehavior in the palace and ordered him to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors in the palace.

For a while, Prince Zhongshun was reprimanded by the imperial decree to think behind closed doors and become the most lively topic in Beijing. It is no longer a matter of a day or two for this prince to misbehave, but now he is reprimanded. Does it mean that the emperor's favor for this younger brother has ceased? Was his arrogance gradually faded into loathing?The queen mother's illness, is it a real illness, or is it an act of protesting to the emperor because her beloved youngest son was reprimanded?

Everyone in the capital was talking about it, so the group of people who came to the Summer Resort were all uneasy.

The fifteenth prince was in the entourage, and Jia Zhu and the fifteenth prince also went to the Mountain Resort. Even when they arrived at the Mountain Resort, the emperor did not let go of the princes' homework. They will also personally go to the study to check their homework, so compared to the palace, the princes in the summer resort are more nervous.

Especially today, people with long eyes can tell that the emperor is in a very bad mood without anyone reminding him. Although he still has a serious expression on his face, the gloomy aura surrounding him has already made the sensitive princes aware that his father is in a bad mood. Seeing Huang's strange behavior, everyone broke out in a cold sweat nervously.

After finally getting out of class, all the princes looked pale. This time, even the emperor's favorite fifteenth prince was reprimanded twice, which shows how bad the emperor is in his mood.

The princes were scolded, and the one who was punished was the attendant who accompanied him. It was the first time in Jia Zhu's life that he was beaten. Fortunately, the Taifu also noticed that the emperor was not in the right mood today, so the punishment was lighter than usual. Even so , Jia Zhu looked at the red and swollen palms, it seems that this afternoon's riding and shooting will not be successful.

After applying some anti-swelling medicine, the burning pain in the palms of the palms was no longer there, and the fifteenth prince also had a wry smile on his face: "I just heard from Chang Xi'er that the father has been in a bad temper since yesterday, and last night the father turned on the concubine Duan's wife." sign, but ended up sleeping alone!"

Concubine Duan is one of the four concubines in the harem this time. She is usually the most favored in the palace. She was promoted to the rank of concubine within less than two years after entering the palace. Now even Concubine Duan has lost face , it can be seen that the emperor is not in the mood to give face to anyone now.

"Chang Xi'er? Is that the little eunuch who always follows Eunuch Shi?" Jia Zhu's expression changed immediately after hearing Xiao Yuan's words.

"Well, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with this kid?" Seeing Jia Zhu's expression changed, Xiao Yuan was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked.

"It's not that there's anything wrong with Eunuch Chang Xi, it's really something wrong with His Highness." Jia Zhu seriously even used his honorific title: "Since Eunuch Chang Xi is the father-in-law who works in front of the imperial court, Your Highness should never have anything personal with him. If this is caught by someone and accused of spying, how should His Highness deal with it?"

"Chang Xi'er waited on me when he first entered the palace, and then he was transferred to Mr. Shi's side. Mr. Shi liked his wit and adopted him as his grandson. But this kid never forgets his roots, and I still treat him as my original son." Chang Xi'er, look." Xiao Yuan sighed, "But you are too cautious, now these people, who want to figure out the emperor's mind, is not to deal with these father-in-laws, the father also knows it well and turns a blind eye Just turn a blind eye. Besides, Chang Xi'er was on duty at my place back then, and my father knew about it, since my father didn't say anything, I don't have to be too shy."

Jia Zhu shook her head and said, "The present is different from the past. I'm afraid that if you don't hit the gun, you will be affected by irrelevant things. It's better to be careful now."

Xiao Yuan nodded and smiled and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but this matter is really strange, if there is something wrong with Uncle Nine Emperors in the palace, it is impossible for me not to hear anything about it!"

Jia Zhu thought about the rumors he heard along the way. In the memory of the previous life, the Prince Zhongshun was still highly valued until the Jia family was confiscated. Therefore, Jia Zhu talked to the people around that this time Prince Zhongshun was rejected by the emperor. He didn't agree with Xiao Yuan's words at all, now that he heard Xiao Yuan's words, he also felt that this matter was a bit strange.

In the afternoon of that day, everyone couldn't care less about speculating on the emperor's thoughts. News came from the capital that Prince Yizhong had taken control of the capital, sealed off the city gates, and besieged the Forbidden City and Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

Rao Xiao Yuan, who was always fearless, turned pale, but Jia Zhu calmed down. The so-called thinking behind closed doors is not only a bait, but also a hidden stake.

Bystanders are clear, authorities are confused, even if Jia Zhu told Xiao Yuan one by one about his own analysis and predictions, even Xiao Yuan could not dispel the panic in Xiao Yuan's heart.

"Jia Zhu, you don't understand." Xiao Yuan, whose eyes were finally reddened, said in a low voice: "Father is the real dragon emperor. Those rebellious officials and thieves can shake An Neng, just like you said just now. I can't afford the storm to come, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the honorable lady..."

Jia Zhu was also silent after hearing this. Once the Forbidden City is captured, the concubines in the harem...

Xiao Yuan seemed to be talking to Jia Zhu, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Your Majesty is my biological mother, but now she sees me, but she can't call me Yuan'er, and I can't call her concubine mother either. , my mother and concubine is Concubine Rong, not her. Concubine Rong treated me very well. I can’t repay the kindness of nurturing, but I can’t forget the kindness of giving birth. I am such a son."

Jia Zhu knew she shouldn't say
