[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 Once Jia Yuanchun's heart was poisoned

The matter of Xue Baochai's engagement greatly stimulated Wang's nerves. This well-behaved, obedient and rich daughter-in-law disappeared. I didn't care about anything, so I just wanted to come to my sister directly to talk about it.It's a pity that Mrs. Wang didn't enter into any marriage contract with Mrs. Xue at all, so she couldn't accuse Mrs. Mrs. Xue of overturning the marriage.And because Jia Yuanchun sent word that he only wanted to see his natal family, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to pass the sign into the palace in a sulky stomach.

"Master Duangui, that is, the former beauty Murong, did mother hear about the pregnancy?" Jia Yuanchun asked as he fiddled with the red gold earrings inlaid with emerald jade and magnolia flowers.

"I heard that it's been more than three months since I've been pregnant." Mrs. Wang knew that this noble lady was favored by the emperor because of her daughter's recommendation. forgotten.She said, "My lord, why do you ask that?"

"I heard that the emperor intends to dispatch members of Murong's family to Beijing as officials, I just asked casually." Jia Yuanchun looked like he was not smiling, "People in the palace are laughing at me now, saying that I have reaped the fruits of myself. Xin, recommended a white-eyed wolf, and by the way, made the Murong family all get promoted."

"The people in the palace usually talk badly when they have nothing to do. Why should the young master care about it? The young master is now a fourth-rank Wanyi. During this period of time, there is no noble person competing for favor. The young master should seize the opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop. The emperor's heart is right." For the sake of her daughter's future, the Wang family put Xue Baochai's sullen engagement behind her, "The new servant Anxuan who entered the palace does not have a high relationship with Zheng Chang, I have inquired about it , although the appearance is soft and beautiful, but a petty air is not a problem."

"But the emperor just likes their small family spirit, they pretend to be pitiful in their softness, and seduce the emperor with a vicious look!" Thinking that these emperors would stay at Fengzao Palace and often go to Anxuan's servant, Jia Yuanchun My heart was burning, "I don't have any news now, and I have served the emperor for so many years, I am afraid that the emperor will despise me." What is it from the fourth grade of Wanyi, after all, it is not the empress of Fengzao Palace!

"What does the young master mean?" Mrs. Wang was also confused.

"That Murong family eats the inside out, so of course I can't spare her!" Jia Yuanchun accidentally ate fresh seafood by mistake before, so he developed a red rash all over his body, and he took a rest for a while before returning to everyone's sight.Duan Guiren also raised his status by saying that he was pregnant with a dragon seed during that period of time. "Everyone in the palace knows that I can't eat river fresh seafood, so all the servings they sent were replaced with pork and mutton. Only on that day, Murong sent two plates of dim sum. After I used them, I became ill. Yes. Later, the imperial doctor told me that there was crab powder in the snack! That bitch Murong made me fall into such a position, and caused me to fall out of favor, and I will definitely take revenge!"

"You evildoer!" Wang's teeth were itching with hatred, "Why didn't the emperor and empress punish her severely?"

"She is pregnant with a dragon seed, how can the emperor punish her?" Jia Yuanchun wiped away tears, "Besides, those two plates of pastries were disposed of long ago, if I really go to sue, maybe people will think I'm jealous Murong is pregnant. So mother, you must help me this time!"

"Then what do you want?" Wang said.

"Mom, help me buy a few things." After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper and asked Baoqin to pass it to Mrs. Wang, "Just buy a little of each of these things."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Yuanchun in shock, and then said after scanning left and right: "These are..."

"Since mother knows what these are, just help me arrange them quietly." Jia Yuanchun said, "this palace has always been such a scheme, mother should not be surprised."

Wang walked out of Fengzao Palace with a surprised expression, looked back at the calm expression on her daughter's face, and suddenly shivered.

"My lord, will the second wife bring those things in for you?" The fine musk and saffron are rare and dangerous weapons, and the second wife might have seen her master's plan at a glance.Baoqin held the teacup and asked in a low voice.

"If my mother encounters such a situation, I'm afraid she will be more ruthless than me." If it wasn't for the protection of the old lady and the watchful eyes of the master, it would have been impossible for Aunt Zhao to give birth to a son and a daughter.Even if Aunt Zhao has both sons and daughters, it is useless, that girl Tanchun was recruited by her mother anyway, and that kid Jia Huan only got the reputation of "dumb", "Don't worry, my mother will definitely recruit for me. "

Duan nobleman, Murong, I want to see how you can protect your fetus!

"Oh, the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion has come to the palace today." Zhen Lan smiled charmingly at the bronze mirror, picked up one side of the gilt filigree dot emerald green pearls and phoenix steps and shook it on the hairpin, with the agate tassels hanging down With the swing of her head, she shook slightly, "But what did you find out?"

"Not for the time being. When Jia Wanyi was talking to Mrs. Jia, she sent out the palace servants, leaving only her confidants to wait close by." Su Zhu replied while helping Zhen Lan put on the gold earrings with diamonds and rubies, "Listen We talked for half an hour, and then Mrs. Jia left with sweat all over her face."

"I guess there is some other idea." Zhen Lan smiled disdainfully, "An Xuan is favored by the servant, and the nobleman is pregnant. These two things are like two knives piercing Jia Yuanchun's heart. I don't know who she's going to deal with this time." An Xuan's servant is used to making small fusses, and the emperor also likes such flattering concubines, so he dotes on them especially during this time.She lives under the eyes of Jia Yuanchun in Fengzao Palace, so she will drive Jia Yuanchun crazy!

"Young master, why should I care what evil ideas she has, as long as it's not against our Fenghe Palace." It's rare that my young master has just recovered the favor she had when she entered the palace. Jia Yuanchun is in trouble.

"Of course I know this." With a knife on her head, Zhen Lan has suffered a lot and still doesn't know what to do? "Ask people from Fengzao Palace to find out what Jia Yuanchun is planning, and give me a detailed report."

"Your maidservant knows." Su Zhu said again, "Madam handed over the sign today, and brought the second girl in to pay my respects to the young master. The empress has already agreed."

"Maybe I haven't seen my mother and He'er for a long time, and I just happened to see you when I came to the palace this time. Go find out, when will you arrive today? I'll also prepare some food for He'er to taste."

"The servant has already sent someone to ask, and it will be there in about a quarter of an hour." The wife should go to the palace to greet the queen first, and Suzhu brought longan tea again, "This is the lady who ordered it to be brewed every day." Give it to the young master to drink."

"Understood." Zhen Lan thought for a moment, thinking about it.

"My lord, do you want me to pay more attention to the movements of the people in the second room of Jia's house?" After asking Su Zhu to take Zhen He down to eat some snacks, Zhen Lan informed Mrs. Zhen of her plan.Mrs. Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "Ever since I learned that the young master's incident last time had a lot to do with Jia Yuanchun, our family and Jia's have lost contact for a long time. This time..."

"You don't need to inquire openly, just keep an eye on it. I always feel that Jia Yuanchun has malicious intentions, and I don't know who to deal with this time. It's always good to be on guard." Zhen Lan rubbed her stomach, "I'm coming There has been no good news for three years in the palace, but fortunately the emperor does not dislike her. Now that Jia Yuanchun is showing signs of falling out of favor, I have no choice but to make a blow to her and make her never stand up again, so as to calm the anger in my heart."

"Your father doesn't have anything, but he has a lot of connections. Just leave this matter to me." After finishing speaking, he took out a jade pendant of Baiyu Guanyin, "This is what the old lady told me to give it to you. Listen It is said that she prayed for it in the Buddhist temple when she was pregnant, and if you wear it, it will bless you to conceive a dragon fetus as soon as possible."

"These are all predestined, there's no point in worrying." Zhen Lan said, "It's my younger sister who is 13 years old. Did mother and father give her a visit?"

"Where is it? These days, I am dizzy." There are many children from the aristocratic family in the capital, but many of them are dudes who can't make it to the stage. They are not as good as the children of the scholarly family in Jinling. "I heard that the girl from Zhen's family, who is close to the Jia family, is already engaged and will get married next year."

"The Xue family?" Zhen Lan thought about it for a while, "Is it the Xue family that 'pearls are as earthy as gold'?"

"That's right. The girl in his family is sixteen years old, and it's time to get married. At first I thought that the Xue family's family went to Beijing to marry the Jia family, but in a blink of an eye, all the young girls got married elsewhere." Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "Although the eighth house of Xue's family is separated, the big house definitely takes the lion's share. With Wang's temperament, why are you willing to let go of such a big piece of fat?"

"Mother's words are ridiculous. There are two rooms in Rongguo Mansion. Jia Yuanchun's mother is just the wife of the second room. Sooner or later, she will be separated. Naturally, the Xue family hopes to find a girl who is the eldest son and grandson. When the time comes Fengguanxiapei, this is called happiness." Zhen Lan has also heard of Jia Baoyu's "prestige", "Besides, some of the descendants of the Jia family are outstanding. The brother who was born with jade, I heard that he has always He refuses to study, hangs out with maids every day, but he is just a dandy, who would marry his own girl to such a person."

"My lord is very right." Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "not to mention the Rongguo Mansion, even the Ningguo Mansion is the same. A young lady in their mansion died of illness and spent thousands of taels of silver on the funeral. It’s the first time I’ve seen the scene. I heard that King Beijing even went to pay homage in person.”

The young lady who died of illness was Qin Keqing.

"It's really a big show." Zhen Lan laughed and said, "Our family didn't join in the fun, did we?"

"Oh, it's just a funeral for the younger generation. Is it worth our family's presence?" Mrs. Zhen said with a smile, "Although we say we are family friends with the Jia family, we are not 'friendly' enough to attend the funeral of a young daughter-in-law. .”

"That's good." Zhen Lan smiled and asked someone to take out a box of ruby ​​heads, "This is a gift from the empress, mother, take it back, and say I gave it to my sister. She is not young anymore Mother should take the time to look after her for her."

"I know." Madam Zhen looked at the sky and knew it was time to leave, "You should be careful in the palace."

Zhen Lan nodded slightly.
