[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Mrs. Xing said: "It's okay to take the county king to the mansion for a short stay, and I can clean up a clean house around me. But it's not good for a long-term stay. People have their own mansions, so how can they love to live in relatives' homes?"

Baoyu murmured: "Since my sister returned to the south a few years ago, why did she have such a birth with the mansion? A group of women followed, and my sister was uncomfortable. If we don't feel sorry for her, she will be rubbed Grind it?"

Mother Jia's heart was moved, and she thought that no matter how easy it is to send someone to invite her, she will not force her to live in the Bisha closet, but tidy up a yard for her by the old family's side, and she is afraid that she will live there.As long as you stay here, it's always a matter for the outside world, and you can figure it out slowly with more time.

With Baoyu's character, he was the closest to her in the past, so how could he be wrong?The second child's family is a fool, so I have to point her out. No matter how nice the girl from the Xue family is, Baoyu doesn't like her, and secondly, how much can she help Baoyu except for financial matters?

So, Mother Jia ordered Mrs. Xing to send someone to the Lin family to pick up Daiyu tomorrow, and Mrs. Xing agreed, and hurriedly ordered Wang Shanbao's family to urge her to go to the east courtyard to clean up the house immediately.

Just as Wang Shanbao's family was about to leave, Mrs. Xing shouted again: "Wait a minute."

Wang Shanbao's family member Gongshen accompanied him with a smile and said, "What else can Madam order?"

Mrs. Xing said: "You have to be more careful. You should eat and use the furniture and furnishings to be fine. You can't humiliate the status of 'He Yuxian Jun' proclaimed by the saint as the daughter of Dai's first-rank official!"

These words made Baochai and Tanchun who were present look sad, and each had their own thoughts.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a report from the doorman, saying: "Wang Laoshou, the eunuch in charge of the Taiji Palace, has come to issue an order."

Everyone in Jia's mansion was shocked. They hurried to the opera, set up an incense table, and opened the middle door to kneel down to receive it.He saw Wang Fu, the chief eunuch of Taiji Palace, riding a horse, followed by two young eunuchs.Wang Fu got off his horse in front of the eaves, with a smile on his face, walked to the hall, stood facing south, and said loudly: "My sage said: Immediately declare Jia Lian to enter the court, and see you in Taiji Palace."

After getting up, Jia Lian was still a little confused, but it was Wang Xifeng who pulled him and said, "Second Master Lian, wash and change quickly..."

Wang Fu looked at Jia Lian and said, "Master Jia, hurry up."

After Wang Fu finished speaking, he left before having tea and rest.

Jia Lian had already been embraced by Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and some of the servants back to her own yard. After a while of busy work, she changed into the donated sixth-rank acquaintance's clothes and rode towards the palace.

However, people in Jia's mansion had different moods. They vaguely felt that it was related to Jia Lian's errands before, and they didn't know whether the sage wanted to reprimand or praise.

Everyone has their own intentions to disperse first. At this time, Jia's mother does not want Jia Lian to come out again. If Jia Lian comes out again, there will be no hope for Erfang and Baoyu, and the lost balance between Dafang and Erfang will be even more deviated.

Of course Mrs. Wang didn't want to, her Zhu'er Shengsheng was tortured to death because she wanted to be an official, her Baoyu was still ignorant of world affairs, and a debauched adulterer was appreciated by a sage and appointed an official because he had The first cousin who climbed up in name became the imperial concubine.So, how unfair is God?

But she couldn't say this clearly, she just kept it in her heart, hoping that Jia Lian's entry into the palace would not be good.

Baochai and Baoqin followed Aunt Xue back to Lixiangyuan. Aunt Xue sent Baoqin back to the house and sent away the servants. Baochai and her daughter began to whisper.

The mother and daughter inevitably feel that life is getting more and more difficult, even Wang Ziteng is supported by money.

However, the last time Xue Pan kicked an iron plate and was thrown into a prison in Jingzhao Mansion. Finally, Wang Ziteng found out that he had bumped into a nobleman on the street. The prestige of Japan has a relationship with Yin La of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Although the governor of Jingzhao knew that Wang Ziteng was not easy to offend, he didn't want to show his face this time, he just didn't want to let him go.So Xue Pan was locked in the prison until the old saint's health improved, Xing Xiuyan became a concubine, and the world was amnesty, Xue Pan was released, and he lost a lot of weight.

Of course Tu Yuanyi knew about Xue Pan's beating to death. Xing Xiuyan had mentioned that she felt sorry for Xiangling, but Tu Yuanyi did not agree to deal with Xue Pan at this time.Because disposing of Xue Pan will lead Jiayu Village out, and Tu Yuanyi has to make good use of this dog. As an emperor, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Employers cannot pursue perfection. There are no perfect ministers in the world. If you strive for perfection, no one will be available. , Changing the height of the emperor.

If there is someone who is better than Jia Yucun, then...hehe, if Jia Yucun is still useful, Tu Yuanyi will still use him as the emperor.

Unless someone really sues Jia Yucun, the people's anger cannot be quelled without killing, then he will be the master for the people of the world, and he will use Jia Yucun to show that he is an emperor who cares about the people.Tu Yuanyi is a feudal tyrant, his temperament has the extreme cruelty of an emperor, he values ​​the overall situation of the country and the power in his hands, not Xue Pan and Xiang Ling.

Now Xue Pan is also in charge of the shop outside, and it has been closed for two months to be honest, this is foreign language.

But Aunt Xue said: "I don't know whether Lian'er's entry into the palace is a good thing or a bad thing. It's really worrying."

Baochai could see it clearly, and said, "Did mother reprimand the sage when she saw a sage recruiting a small official into the palace? The court didn't even remember that such a person was the greatest punishment for a small official. The sage really reprimanded Lian." Second brother, that is also grace, it is said that love is the deepest responsibility, how many people in this world have such a blessing to be reprimanded by the saint? It is a good thing to be able to enter the palace."

Aunt Xue said: "That's good. Maybe this mansion hasn't had such an honor for a long time."

But Baochai remained silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mother, what did Auntie say?"

Aunt Xue said: "My son, your aunt likes you so much, she wants you to match Baoyu with all her heart, but the old lady didn't let go for a while. But the old lady can't ignore you no matter what the parents ordered or the matchmaker's words. Auntie is Baoyu's biological mother, and one day the old lady will find out that you are good."

Baochai said, "What day is that? It's not that I'm shameless, but I'm growing up day by day. How do I feel about what my wife said today?"

Aunt Xue has always been a loving mother, and she couldn't help saying: "The eldest wife has never liked your aunt, and she is mean, she has the heart to hurt my son's heart like this..." At this time, Aunt Xue still couldn't imagine that one day she would use her slip of the tongue to say that she was mean Mrs. Xing went to challenge her sister's.

Baochai couldn't help crying, and shouted: "Mother! Even if the words of the eldest lady are not pleasant, they are telling the truth. It is not her words that hurt people, but the person who does it. Mother had agreed with her aunt, But my aunt obviously can’t make the decision now. Even if she can, the mother will be sure that the aunt has no other ideas? Baoyu has been thinking about Sister Lin for so many years, but the aunt doesn’t like Sister Lin any more. Her sister is the concubine who loves the harem Empress, her father is still a high-ranking official. I haven’t seen the second elder brother Lian because he is the son of the eldest wife, can the imperial concubine empress appreciate him? Before imperial concubine Chen entered the palace, she loved her two younger sisters the most. As long as Baoyu has sister Lin , the future has no worries, what can we have? Brother looks like this, the business at home is not as good as it is day by day, and the status of a businessman is not as good as others. Next year, the name of the imperial business will not be kept. So I am afraid that my aunt Now it’s just perfunctory us.”

Aunt Xue was surprised: "How could it be?"

Baochai said: "Why not? The new year will be over in 20 days, and I'm done. But I think that others will have a great gift when they turn 15, and after that, they will have a future. I will celebrate my 15th birthday in this mansion. My wife rewarded me with 20 taels of silver for singing and drinking, while reminding me that I am old enough to go out, and at the same time saying that Baoyu should not marry early and beat me in the face..."

Aunt Xue hugged Baochai and cried: "My poor son, you were born to be my daughter, and your brother is so useless. It's because we are tired of your future, and you still think you can enter the palace by Xiaoxuan." Or to be a companion for the princess and princess, maybe even become a concubine, or be favored by nobles, I can't imagine that I can't do any of them."

This matter was entrusted to Mrs. Wang, and it cost a lot of money. In the end, Mrs. Wang said that Baochai was hindered by Xue Pan's affairs, so she gave up and went to make some "golden marriage" with Mrs. Wang.

Baochai cried, "What's the use of saying this now? If my mother really cares about my future, she won't have to think about Baoyu and me anymore."

"But apart from Baoyu, where is there a better family?" Aunt Xue was also very distressed.

Baochai said, "Mother doesn't know there is, but others do."

"You mean your aunt?"

"Don't mention my aunt, even if Baoyu doesn't marry me, my aunt will definitely not find a good future for me, even if she doesn't want to, isn't Sister Tanchun also dragging her back?"

Aunt Xue asked: "Then who can help me?"

Baochai bit her lower lip and said, "Eldest Wife asks Sister Feng to help Second Sister choose a matchmaker for her. If Sister Feng can take care of me, maybe I can get settled sooner."

However, although Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai are cousins, their relationship is actually not that close.In the past, when Wang Xifeng was still concerned about the power of the housekeeper, when she knew that Xue Baochai, who was all-faced and exquisite, was coveting the position of Bao's second grandmother, she was naturally vigilant.And Baochai didn't think much of Wang Xifeng because she couldn't write poems and didn't know many characters.

Only slowly figure it out.But for their own future, when there is no plan, Baoyu can't throw it away, so they can't move back to their house outside.

Baoyu is her bottom line, or her spare tire. If there is no chance outside, no matter what, she must find Baoyu.Baoyu is no longer motivated. He is also the grandson of the Duke, and his father is a fifth-rank official, so it is more than enough to distribute merchants.
