My Dad in the Red Chamber is still alive

Mrs. Wang handed over the post to the palace, but what she waited for was the news that "the empress is sick"!

Hearing this news, not only Mrs. Wang was terrified, but the whole Jia Mansion was terrified!

Who is that sick?That is Jia Yuanchun, the empress, and the only support of the Jia family.If Concubine Jia really has troubles, what should the Jia family do?

So at this time, who still remembers about Xiangyun and Baochai?As long as the empress is safe, then Baoyu is the only younger brother of the empress, and she can marry anyone.

But the empress really has something to do. Jia Baoyu, the second son of a fifth-rank official, has no official position or fame. No matter who you marry, you won’t be able to make waves in the capital...

Therefore, in the past few days, Jia's mansion has been waiting at the gate of the palace three times a day.I don't know how much money I gave to the eunuchs, big and small, but finally got the news on this day, saying that "the lady is just a little sick, and there is no serious problem." Everyone was relieved.

Another day later, a eunuch came to the door and said: "The lady in the house is sick, and I specially invite relatives into the palace" and other words.

So Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others went to the palace to meet again the next day. The two parties inevitably burst into tears when they met. Mrs. Wang thought about it again and again, but did not dare to mention Xiangyun's matter.

Now that the empress is in poor health, how can such a trivial matter be used to add embarrassment to the empress.

After a few days of tossing, everything returned to normal, and the matter of Xiangyun was left alone for the time being.

Shihou's family was not in the capital, so Xiangyun couldn't ask Mother Jia or Mrs. Wang about their marriage no matter what.Although I was suffering in all kinds of ways, I had no choice but to suppress it. Every day was the same as usual, laughing and playing with my sisters.

**

On this day, Mrs. Wang was talking to Zhou Rui's family about the housekeeper's matters in the room, when she suddenly saw the maid raised the curtain and said that the master had come in.

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised. Jia Zheng didn't come to the backyard on weekdays. Even at night, it was just for everyone to have a meal and chat casually, and then he would probably go to his aunt's room to sleep.

This guy came to his room, probably nine out of ten have something to say.

Zhou Rui's family used to come and go, so he quickly helped Mrs. Wang straighten her sideburns, and walked out with a smile.

Jia Zheng came in and sat down, took two sips of the tea served by the maid, and said, "It will be Princess Beijing's birthday in a few days, we must make good preparations."

Mrs. Wang was suspicious, he never worried about such trivial matters, what happened today?

She was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these things, Miss Feng has prepared all kinds of gifts as usual..."

Jia Zheng: "Tan girl is not young anymore, she should go out and see the world. This time you go to Beijing Palace and take her with you."

Mrs. Wang was even more puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask each other rashly, she just looked at Jia Zheng suspiciously.

Jia Zheng didn't play tricks either, he knew that if he didn't speak clearly, this stupid woman wouldn't understand.

"That day, King Beijing's younger brother, Prince Xiao Yuan will definitely go. Although this Prince Yuan is just an idle prince, his uncle is the Northwest General Gu Zhaoping. Now many people want to make friends with Prince Yuan.

This Prince Yuan is not only good-looking, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy.If Tan girl can get the favor of the prince, her marriage will not be worrying..."

Mrs. Wang's eyes started to light up when she heard "his uncle is the Northwest General". The empress is now in the palace, and she is worried about not having a right-hand man. things.I'm just worried that there is no turning point, it's really dozing off and someone will give you a pillow.

Mrs. Wang was happy, and said with a smile: "But, I've always been thinking about the girl Tan's marriage. Our girl Tan is not only good-looking, but also beautiful and intelligent. Last year, the empress praised her specially, saying that she did a good job in poetry. The writing is getting better and better.

If she can enter Prince Yuan's mansion, it's not in vain for her to force her. "

Jia Zheng frowned: "Prince Yuan has both the concubine and the side concubine. After all, our girl is a concubine, so we can't make her feel too big. If she can advance to the palace and be favored in the future, she will be no worse than the side concubine..."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "That's the reason."

After thinking about it, he said, "I thought, how about I go to Beijing Palace this time and bring Xiangyun with me?"

Jia Zheng: "Why?"

Mrs. Wang briefly talked about Xiangyun's affairs in a half-covered manner.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng was furious. He slapped the tea bowl on the table and said sharply, "Baoyu is a scoundrel! You are used to it... I told you that you can't let him hang out in the backyard like this..."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "This is just rumored by others. What do their children know? Besides, the old lady takes them to play every day. What can they do?

It's just that, now that Shi's family has gone to other provinces, it's not good for Xiangyun to live in our house like this.I thought, if I take her out for a walk, if some noble person really likes her, I will find her a good home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Zheng's nose was almost crooked, and he pointed at Mrs. Wang and cursed: "Stupid woman, stupid woman! If the nobleman hears that she has withdrawn her engagement, what should I do with Baoyu? Baoyu is broken. People's reputation, turn around and push it to the nobleman? I think you are doing it to death!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat from fright, knowing that she had lost her mind, she stood there dumbfounded and dared not speak.

Jia Zheng gasped for a while, and took another two sips of tea before he calmed down.Said: "Since the family's reputation has been ruined, let's quickly settle the marriage."

Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "No!...the old lady doesn't agree either."

"Besides, marriage is such an important matter. Although Xiangyun is good, but after all, he has no father and no mother, so he is a poor man no matter how you look at it.

We only have Baoyu as a son, don't ask for great wealth, at least find him a lucky wife! " Mrs. Wang said and shed tears.

Jia Zheng frowned and had a headache. He didn't know that Xiangyun had neither luck nor foundation, so he was not worthy of Baoyu.But now this situation is not resolved.How many pairs of eyes in the capital are staring at Jia's mansion.

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said: "I was thinking, take Xiangyun out for a walk more, if the nobleman takes a fancy to her, then it has nothing to do with us. Her little things are actually nothing.

Besides, now she thinks that Baoyu is good, maybe she will go out to meet other young masters and princes, and then she will know that there are many good men in the world, wouldn't it be a good thing for her to fall in love with her? "

Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a better way. Finally, he nodded and said: "Let's take them to other houses for a while. Anyway, the empress's reputation is important. If it doesn't work, I can only let Baoyu Take her."

Mrs. Wang nodded, thinking, as long as she has the heart, she can always find a good marriage for them...
