Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

Jia Zhen had guessed that there was something wrong with the background of Qingfeng Temple, but she didn't think it was so big.He wiped the cold sweat from his brow. His father has always been mediocre, ineffective, and his official career has been unsuccessful for half his life.Now that I have resigned from my nominal official position and go home to provide for the elderly, I thought I would be able to enjoy life at home like this.

When he was old, he did amazing things.Forming a party for personal gain, something that can lose your head at any time, doesn't look like something his father can do.If you say that he is just cultivating Taoism and alchemy, and he has a male and female double @修备, then there is nothing to worry about.When people are old, there is no time when they are confused.But it's a big thing to play with your head, which makes people feel scared.

Jia Zhen had heard a little about the prince's style evaluation. He was the descendant of the former Empress Ren and the eldest son of the current emperor. In terms of background, he was the most suitable candidate for the prince, so he became the prince as soon as he fell into the grass.The Holy Majesty personally enlightened him, he was gifted and intelligent, both civil and military, and won the sacred heart.

Unfortunately, since Empress Ren passed away and Empress Chun succeeded to the throne, the prince became withdrawn and acted perversely, which caused the emperor a lot of headaches for him, so this pearl lost its light.The emperor thought that his mother lost his mother when he was young, and he was sad, so he specially allowed the prince to move out of Jingren Palace and open another mansion outside the palace, so as not to stay in the palace and miss others.

Rumor has it that the emperor intends to abolish the prince and replace the third prince as the prince.The third prince is the son of the pure empress, he is very sophisticated, kind, easy-going, smart and capable, virtuous and talented, and widely popular.Now working in the household department, his political achievements are obvious to all. The emperor has praised the second prince many times in front of court officials, and he is in the limelight. He is the most qualified prince among the princes.

In comparison, Jia Zhen leaned towards the third prince. Although she did not serve as an official in the court, she still knew a thing or two about the court's movements.Judging from the emperor's recent actions, it seems that he intends to reuse the third prince. I heard that the prince excused himself from the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven next month, and the third prince replaced the prince to sacrifice to heaven.This is something a prince can do.

Otherwise, with so many adult princes in the palace, why did they choose the third prince.In terms of age, there is still a second prince in front of him.It can be seen that the position of the third prince in the emperor's mind cannot be underestimated.

In front of her own father, Jia Zhen did not hide anything, and truthfully revealed her thoughts.Jia Jing wasn't stupid, so he understood the meaning of Jia Zhen's words, that he wanted to stand on two feet and act according to the limelight.

This idea seems to be good, but it is too dangerous. If the two ships fail to stand firm, it will cause trouble. "The Rongguo Mansion is the quickest mover." Jia Jing clicked his tongue. Jiang was really old. Don't look at the old lady who looks old and confused on the surface. The two daughters-in-law are not good at discipline, and they are very clear in private. .

"Yuan Chun is still working in the fourth prince's residence?" The emperor has many concubines, and there are only a few who can be favored.Among the four concubines, Concubine Jing, her natal family is an old family of the dynasty, a famous family, and she is the only concubine of noble birth in the harem except for Empress Ren and Empress Pure.

Concubine Jing's ancestors have been associated with the royal family for generations. There are no fewer than ten queens, noble concubines and concubines who came out of her family, and there are five concubines who can be named.However, since this concubine Jing entered the palace, she has kept a low profile and never made a show.The emperor loved his disposition of indifference to fame and fortune, and he favored him for 13 years.

Concubine Jing raised a son and was the fourth eldest, her temperament followed Concubine Jing's, she didn't compete for favor, and kept a low profile, she was the most inconspicuous prince.Now he is working in the Ministry of Officials, and his achievements and reputation are mediocre, but there is nothing wrong with him.

"Yuanchun, this girl, has eaten well since she was a child, and she can dress as well as a princess. There are a lot of people around her. It is not an exaggeration. Even if she is thirsty and wants a cup of tea, she doesn't need her to do it herself." Do it, and a maid handed it to her. The old lady is really willing to send such a young lady who doesn't touch the spring water to the Fourth Prince's residence to serve others."

"According to Yuanchun's character, marrying into a wealthy family would be considered aggrieved. Dad, what do you think the old lady is thinking? It's not good to send it to the prince's house, but to the fourth prince. Could it be Yes, the Fourth Prince also has hope..." Jia Zhen made a gesture and said in a low voice.

Jia Jing glanced at him, "You think anyone can take this position. Let us father and son talk about it in private today, but we can't talk nonsense outside. This matter is the most clear for a father Yes. At the beginning, the old lady still begged me to come here. Isn’t your mother and Princess Nan’an counted as cousins? I also heard that Princess Nan’an has friendship with Princess Zhen, so Wang wanted to follow the example of Princess Nan’an and send Yuan Chun Into the palace." Because of Wang's morality, the queen mother withdrew her qualifications for the Yuanchun draft.

"That's a good idea. If the eldest girl can be made a concubine, our Jia family will also become relatives of the emperor. There is no need to think about the prince or the third prince." Jia Zhen continued, "Why are you in the fourth prince's mansion again?"

"It's a long story. The Wang family was swayed by Concubine Zhen. On the surface, the Queen Mother disqualified the eldest girl from the draft, but in fact, it was because Concubine Zhen was afraid that the eldest girl would steal the limelight from Miss Zhen's cousin. So he got in the way and instigated the Empress Dowager to issue an order to cut off Wang's thoughts."

Jia Zhen listened with gusto, "Later, why did the eldest girl get crammed into the fourth prince's mansion. I heard from my second uncle that they originally expected the eldest girl to be a tutor for princesses, princesses and other noble girls, and the work would not be tiring. You can also learn things. That day, when I learned that Yuan Chun had entered the fourth prince's mansion as a female official, Rong'er's mother was shocked. Isn't this a waste of children."

"She's so busy caring about other people, she might as well take care of her body and have a few more children. In our big mansion, there are only two brats, Rong'er and Qiang'er. What do you look like? After all, what will Qiang'er do to you?" You are close, and you are not someone else's child when you grow up. Sigh, if Qiang'er's father is still alive, I don't have to rely on you alone." When the issue of offspring is mentioned, Jia Jing feels a headache, which is why he practiced alchemy. one of the reasons.

Jia Zhen lowered her head in frustration, "Father's lesson is that my son recently married two concubines, who came from a good family outside. They are all in good health, and their mothers are all capable of giving birth. One of them, her natal family has Five brothers and sisters. The son will ask the doctor to come and show them.” What needs to be made up, feel free to make up, as long as you can have children, you are not afraid of wasting money.

"Hmph, even if you're not confused, what did you say just now?" I was in the middle of talking, but when Jia Zhen interrupted me like this, I forgot what I just said. "Father, you mentioned Concubine Zhen. Hey, that's not right. I remember that the Zhen family and our Jia family are still relatives. With Concubine Zhen's status in the palace, it would be too much to get the cousin of the Zhen family into the palace." The eldest girl in our family? One is stuffed, and two are stuffed, even if you talk about it, it doesn't take much trouble."

Jia Jing was stunned. After Jia Zhen said this, the matter really didn't make sense, "It's really weird. Wang was more anxious to learn that the eldest girl was disqualified from the draft than she was fined and grounded. This time, she asked her natal sister-in-law to intercede with Princess Nan'an again, and Princess Nan'an, for Wang Ziteng's sake, was unwilling to offend the Wang family, so she reluctantly agreed."

Princess Nan'an was going to delay for a few days, and then put off the matter with another reason.I don't know, where did Concubine Zhen hear about this, she took the initiative to invite Princess Nan'an into the palace to talk, and even invited Concubine Jing to come.Concubine Jing has never been involved in these matters, and Princess Nan'an rarely sees her in public.This time, there was a big surprise at Concubine Zhen's place.

Only later did I find out that it was Concubine Jing who had taken a fancy to Yuan Chun in a chance encounter, and wanted to take Yuan Chun to the fourth prince's mansion as a female official.Princess Nan'an didn't dare to ask when and where Concubine Jing met Yuan Chun, but judging from Concubine Jing's attitude towards Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun's future was definitely not just a mere female official.

Princess Nan'an had no choice but to think about Jia's family. When she returned to Nan'an Palace, she hurriedly told the matter to King Nan'an. Even Prince Nan'an was surprised. Not to mention that Concubine Jing looked at Yuan Chun differently, but Concubine Jing It is worth pondering that she can actually sell Concubine Zhen's face.

After some twists and turns, Yuan Chun was wronged and carried into the fourth prince's mansion in a small sedan chair, with only a personal maid by her side, and it really hurts to think about it.A good lady of a great family, she could have carried eight big sedan chairs, a phoenix crown and a xiapei, three matchmakers and six hires, and a beautiful marriage.Or step into the palace gate and enjoy the glory.Now that things have happened, he has fallen into the awkward position of being a slave or a master.

"Okay, it's not our turn to worry about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. As long as there is an old lady around for a day, there will be no trouble. It's just that what your second aunt did is too embarrassing and ruined our family. The family's reputation. If it weren't for the face of her being a member of the Wang family. I think the old lady would have divorced her long ago. There is no room for her to jump around. You saw it at the last clan meeting. Even the emperor has scruples about the Wang family." Jia Jingyi pointed out something, then opened the door vigilantly and looked at it, and if word of what he said today spreads out, he will lose his head, so he has to be careful.

Jia Zhen nodded hurriedly to express her agreement with Jia Jing's words, "Father, what should I do with this golden elixir? Should I really let my son eat it? My son doesn't want to be weird like that beggar." "You really think Is this golden elixir for you to eat? It was handed over to Weifu by the Daoist Changqing personally, saying that he wanted you to find a way to let your second uncle eat this golden elixir." After finishing speaking, Jia Jing avoided Jia Zhen questioning gaze.

"Father, you can't take this medicine casually, especially the golden elixir. If there is something wrong with this golden elixir, your son will be scolded to death by the old lady. The second uncle is the old lady's precious root. Besides , we don’t know the purpose of Taoist Changqing’s second uncle to take the golden elixir. If it’s some kind of harmful medicine, what should we do? Tsk, even if the golden elixir is fine, we can’t just give it to him for no reason. Second uncle, second uncle is not a fool, he dares to eat things of unknown origin."

After a long circle, I originally wanted to use my own hand to send the golden pill.Jia Zhen sat down angrily, and said that it was unreliable to seek refuge with the prince.After even a small Taoist priest dared to murder the founding father, there is nothing they can't do in the future.

"Look, you're here again. Didn't my father say that the Daoist Changqing is an expert outside the world, and he calculated that your second uncle will be doomed, as long as you take this golden pill, you will be able to survive the catastrophe. Your second uncle is also me I can really kill him." Jia Jing lost his patience, unexpectedly, Jia Zhen was quite protective of Rongguo Mansion, it seems that the old lady poured him a lot of rice soup.

Daoist Changqing calculated that Jia Zhenghui killed an innocent person in Wendinghou's mansion, and would be entangled by the water ghost day and night.After Jia Zhen listened, she sneered, it was nonsense.Just like my second uncle, even killing a chicken is difficult, so how could he harm people.It's almost as if someone else hurt him.Not wanting to continue listening, took the golden pill, dealt with it a few words casually, and said that something happened in the mansion and went back to Ningguo Mansion.

☆, Fanwai, Changqing

Daoist Changqing’s origin is unknown. He was about 25 years old when he came to Qingfengguan. It happened that the previous temple master was choked to death by Jindan, and all the apprentices who were ambitious were staring at the temple master’s position. The quiet and peaceful Taoist temple suddenly became a mess.

Fortunately, these Taoist priests have slender arms and legs, and they won't hurt their vitals when they shake hands with each other, otherwise there will always be a lawsuit for life.However, not hurting people does not mean that they will solve the problem honestly. In private, either I will give you laxatives, or you will give me sweat medicine, which made the Taoists dare not eat in the dining hall and ran to the street. Order in the restaurant opposite.

Now the shopkeeper of the restaurant can be smiling all day long, wishing that these Taoist priests would continue to make trouble and come to the restaurant every day for dinner.After a few days.Daoist Changqing came to find the temple master with a letter of introduction, knowing that the temple master was dead, and planned to return to northern Xinjiang after staying for a few days.

That night, the Taoist priests of Qingfeng Temple all had the same dream.In the dream, the former master of the temple was brought back by Black and White Wuchang, saying that after he left, he was really worried about handing over the Qingfeng Temple he created to his disciples and grandchildren, so he begged the King of Hades to come back and have a look.It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you almost die of anger again.

It's only been a few days since he died, and the temple was filled with smog and smoke, and the pilgrims didn't dare to come to the Qingfeng Temple. Without the pilgrims, the incense money was naturally reduced.All the people in the temple, old and young, live on incense money.Without the money for incense, everyone should drink the Northwest Wind.

In fact, when the temple master was alive, the incense was not very strong, mainly relying on the temple master to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits for wealthy families, and dance to the gods to earn incense money.The temple master was afraid that he would teach his disciples to have no masters, and be robbed of their jobs by the disciples, so he kept secretive and did not pass on all the tricks of deception to the disciples.It's no wonder that these Taoist priests will make the lower three bad methods. It turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

So, the former temple master pointed at the disciple's nose and cursed bloody, and then announced the name of the next sect master.The Taoist priests agreed in a daze, half asleep and half awake, and promised not to embarrass Taoist Changqing.The former temple master got the guarantee from his apprentice, and was satisfied to follow Black and White Wuchang back to the underworld to prepare for reincarnation.

What happened after that was even more legendary.The Taoist priests thought it was a dream and ignored it, and continued to fight openly and secretly for the position of the viewer.On the first day, a junior apprentice who had just started was hit by a carriage when he went out. At night, he dreamed that the former temple master pointed his nose and cursed people.

The next day, when an old Taoist priest who had been with the temple master for some years went to the latrine, his foot slipped and fell into the latrine. He also dreamed of the temple master at night. Looking at the old Taoist priest, he stared at the old Taoist priest silently, with resentful eyes worthy of his status as a dead ghost.

The old Taoist didn't care if he was the master or whoever he was, he rushed out of the wing in a cold sweat, howled like a ghost, and then passed out.The first thing he said after waking up was that he was not going to grab the position of the master of the temple, and please ask Changqing Taoist priest to succeed him as the master of the temple.The brothers looked at each other, not understanding why the senior brother who made the most trouble suddenly changed his mind, and what the sound of ghosts meant.

The old Taoist lay on the bed with a pale complexion, and told the story of the dream of the Lord from the beginning to the end.After the brothers and sisters heard it, they were all dumbfounded. This dream sounded so familiar.The old Taoist thought that they didn't believe his words, so he swore a poisonous oath in front of the portrait of the elder Sanqing to prove that his words were true.

The Taoist priest who was injured by the horse stood up tremblingly and said that he had dreamed of the old temple master twice. The old temple master said that if they did not give up the position of the temple master for a day, the old man would not be able to rest his eyes for a day, and he would go to bed every night. Take turns to find an apprentice to settle accounts.

The other Taoist priests, hearing that the two of them didn't seem to be telling lies, and thinking about the unlucky things that happened to the two of them, none of them dared to hide and admit that they had also dreamed about the master.Everyone's face turned pale immediately, the master was bluffing to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, coaxing Yinzi, but after death he turned into a ghost to scare the apprentices, what kind of thing is that.

Well, there is no need to discuss, the brothers respectfully invited Changqing Taoist priest to the position of the temple master, Changqing Taoist master seemed to know that he was going to be the temple master, there was no surprise, and the arrangement was leisurely The miscellaneous things in the temple.Just when everyone thought there was nothing wrong, Daoist Changqing showed a weird smile, and then said a creepy sentence. I had a long talk with you Guanzhu last night...

The words of Daoist Changqing were so terrifying that these Taoists didn't listen to what Daoist Changqing said later.The Taoist priests were unanimously glad that they were not the master of the temple, who would want to chat with a ghost without any problems.

Not to mention, this Taoist priest of Changqing is really capable, and he is proficient in all kinds of supernatural abilities such as subduing demons and subduing demons. Moreover, he was originally a rich master, and he paid for his own money to hire someone to clean all the inside and outside of Qingfeng Temple. It has been renovated, and from the outside, it really looks like a remote mountain and ancient temple.

Jia Zhen's doorman told what he had inquired about, "Master, this Changqing Taoist priest is not simple. I don't know why the master asks this. Could it be the master..." "Oh, my father is there. It's okay to be free and unrestrained. I'm just curious. But from what you said, I see that those Taoist priests seem to have some skills. It's not like the swindlers you said?" Jia Zhen heard something wrong.

"My lord, you don't know. The former temple owner and his disciples started their business by bluffing and bluffing. This Qingfeng temple was built by coaxing more than half of the property of a landowner from the village. Later, they spent all their money. I have resumed my old business, and I can only coax those ignorant women and children."

After Changqing Daoist took over the position of the temple master, he did not drive out the apprentices of the old temple master. Those who were willing to stay as handymen stayed, and those who did not want to give money to return to their hometowns. These Taoist priests This is a fake Taoist priest, if it is not for money, who would like to pretend to be a Taoist priest here and endure hardships.

Most of them were fellow villagers, happily accepted the money, packed their bags and went home together.Now, some of the Taoist priests in Qingfengguan are apprentices accepted by Taoist Changqing in northern Xinjiang, some are brothers who came to help Taoist Changqing, and some are disciples who were only accepted in Qingfengguan.

Different from the old temple master and his disciples, these Taoist priests are all capable now. There are five Taoist priests who are good at medical skills. The Taoist priest of Changqing sends Taoist priests in the temple to give free consultations to the refugees every year. The people outside all praise Taoist priest Changqing It is a living fairy.

With the support of the prince behind Qingfengguan, I was afraid that Qingfengguan would not be famous.What is the Daoist Temple of Changqing who pays for Taoism, I am afraid it is the money given by the prince.Jia Zhen curled her lips and sent the doormen away.

In the middle of the night, two people were entangled on a bed in a dark room in the Prince's Mansion. The wooden bed made a creaking sound, and the two were in a good mood listening to the movement.After about a stick of incense, a man panted and turned over and lay back on the bed, "Changqing, the effect of your golden elixir is getting more and more effective. I feel like I'm ten years younger." Touching the long clear waist-length hair.

"This golden pill is just for fun, the prince should eat less." Chang Qing got up with his sore waist, half leaned on the bedside to take the herbal tea handed by the prince, and drank it cleanly, "You say, the emperor Will you believe in the efficacy of this elixir? Why do I think it's wrong."

The prince put the teacup back on the table, "If you are doing something big, don't think about it wildly. The more you think about it, the more timid you will be. You won't be able to accomplish anything. By the way, the spies came to report that someone outside is asking about your affairs." "It's all to blame You made a show @idea, now everyone regards me as a half-immortal who doesn’t eat the fireworks of the world, and some people inquire about it, and it’s because of the big tree.” Changqing helped the prince cover the quilt, and the way the two get along is like Like an ordinary couple.

"Do you know who is checking you? It's Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion. I didn't expect him to be like that, but he was such a clever master. Don't worry, I have made arrangements for this matter, you don't have to worry about being discovered by him What. It's just that Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion has to take a lot of trouble. Tell me, why didn't Jia Zhen be fooled once? I don't believe it, there is no one I can't win." The prince put his arms around Chang Qing, "It's so cold tonight, so I won't leave. I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow morning." "Hmm..." Changqing fell asleep in a daze.

The Taoist priest of Changqing used to be the Prince's companion. Later, something happened at home. The emperor saw that his family had been loyal and good for generations and spared the lives of the whole family. The whole family was sentenced to exile, and he went to northern Xinjiang with his family.

On the way, he was stopped by a group of men in black. In order to protect him, his parents died under the knife of the men in black. They insisted on following the exiled loyal servants, desperately covering Changqing and escaped.When the crown prince found Changqing, his loyal servant was seriously injured and died, so he was the only one left in his family.

If the crown prince hadn't stopped him, Changqing would have wished to kill the enemy who framed his father, and avenge his father, mother and old servant.It's a pity that the enemy didn't know who he had offended. In one night, all the hundreds of members of the family were killed.The emperor sent imperial envoys to investigate this massacre, but after a year of investigation, they still had no clue, and this case became the first unsolved case in this dynasty.

Ironically, Changqing's father and mother were killed on the pipeline, because they were criminals, so they were not taken seriously by the government, and the case was closed in a hurry.But this kind of villain who harmed others became an official who died unjustly, and was sympathized and pitiful by the world.

This world is so ruthless and cruel, Changqing did not take revenge, the enemy died, and he lost the purpose of living, the whole person felt that something was wrong.For a moment, his heart felt empty, and he had the urge to kill. The first person he killed was the former servant.

The servant was bought by the enemy and planted a curse in the mansion, trying to frame Changqing's father as the blame. After being discovered by Changqing's father, Changqing's father and wife Zhiren let the servant go.

In the end, Changqing's father was imprisoned, and the servant was ungrateful and acted as an enemy's witness to frame Changqing's father, and the crime was confirmed.The domestic servant harmed Changqing's family, ruined his family, and ended up dying in a foreign land with his head in a different place, but he suddenly became a member of a well-off family.

When Changqing came to the door, the servant had already forgotten the young master's appearance, thinking that it was a robber who came to rob, tremblingly handed over the jewelry box to save money and avoid disaster.Changqing kicked open the jewelry box, put the blade of the sword on the servant's neck, and after uttering three words, he swung the sword and killed the servant, and a fire that could not understand the hatred burned the servant's house to ruins. Even the newly married concubines of the servants and the servants of the mansion were burned to death.
