The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

It has always been a responsive system, but this time it rejected Jia Qiang's request: "No, host. After scanning, the scope of the palace is too large. Even if you only monitor a part of it, it will consume a considerable amount of energy."

"Isn't what I collected for you enough?"

The system is silent.

But after thinking about it for a while, Jia Qiang also understood the other party's thinking: If the things he got were thrown out for no reason, no one would be happy if they changed them.So, he changed to a compromise method: "I haven't touched the merits of preventing Xue Baochai from marrying Jia Baoyu last time. I can use them to exchange for a recording opportunity, okay?"

"This..." The system obviously hesitated.

Jia Qiang hit the rails while the heat was still hot: "Only when I get more information, can I do more tasks, so I'm thinking of you in a disguised form."

"Okay." After weighing it, the system finally nodded: "But with the current energy, it can record sounds within a radius of 500 meters at most."

"500 meters? That's more than a hundred feet." Jia Qiang converted the value according to the last time the system said, and she was overjoyed.He just wanted to hear whether Yuan Chun would whisper something to the people around him before and after the summoning, but he didn't expect the scope to be so wide.If you're lucky, you might be able to record even more private secrets.

While having fun, the guards at the palace gate also finished checking.But according to the rules, the carriages and sedan chairs outside were not allowed to enter the palace, everyone got off the sedan chairs one after another, the female relatives changed into palace sedan chairs, and the men walked on foot.

Mother Jia rewarded the nanny who carried the sedan chair, and looked back in her busy schedule, only to see Jia Qiang smiling, she couldn't help curling her lips, thinking contemptuously: so what about another fame?After all, he is an orphan who has no father to discipline him. He has successfully entered the palace once in his life. Unlike himself, he is a bit bored with his contacts.Baoyu is still calm, knowing that her sister has become a noble concubine, she still looks calm, without a trace of arrogance or petty ecstasy.

Her eyes are already presbyopic, so she doesn't know how calm Baoyu is, but she is respectful and afraid in her heart, her face is stiff with nervousness, her heart is pounding, almost rushing out of her mouth, The road is not easy to walk, twisting and twisting like stealing something.

Because Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing went directly to listen to the edict after the court was over, only Baoyu and Jia Qiang followed the leading eunuch.Because there were no courtiers around and no one else around, the two eunuchs made fun of Baoyu in a low voice: "I heard that he was born with a jade title. What kind of person should I be? I didn't expect to be so cowardly. Really It’s better to be famous than to be famous.”

Another remark was even harsher: "Look at him, he looks like he just came out of the bank, with a belt on his body. Just a pat on the shoulder will 'stand out'."

Having said this, the two of them laughed tacitly a few times, their expressions were extremely wretched.

They were almost whispering, and Baoyu, who was half a body behind, couldn't hear it very clearly, only heard the word "stand out", and thought it was these eunuchs who were used to the rich and powerful, who were boasting about their outstanding demeanor, and couldn't help being a little bit elated.The original nervousness disappeared a little bit, and the demeanor in the back garden of his own house reappeared.

But Jia Qiang, who is quite experienced, almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing the four-character comment.This describes the original allusion: the big inner bank is closely guarded, but it always needs to be moved by hand when it is used.When there are too many people, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone will be calm and greedy when facing the golden mountains and silver mountains. A smart man with a really keen eye came up with a way to grease the backyard before entering, and dry it. When I was working, I picked up the small gold ingot and stuffed it secretly while no one was looking for it.

Because when the person who carried the gold and silver came out, the guards only searched the body and did not examine the body, so the person relied on this method to free up three thousand taels of gold.Until a guard accidentally patted him on the shoulder, he couldn't hold it back, and the gold ingot shot out from behind in an instant, and he was caught straight.

When the courtiers heard about this big case, those who were fond of jokes gave it an elegant name, "to stand out from the crowd".After that, the item of hard shoulder pats was added to the inspection content.Occasionally, the guards are in a good mood, and they will joke with the workers that if you don’t work hard and just pretend, I will catch you to stand out later.

If you change the occasion, this word is still a good description.But since it was in the palace, the two eunuchs laughed so hard that even though Jia Qiang didn't understand the cause and effect clearly, she could still figure out what they were referring to.

Glancing at Jia Baoyu who suddenly changed from nervous to slightly beaming, Jia Qiang shook her head: Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing.

After walking for about half an hour, the eunuch led the two of them to a small courtyard.Jia Qiang's construction style, if using the mansion of aristocratic family as an example, it is expected to be a place similar to the meeting hall.Unconsciously, he was slightly distracted, thinking that in this place where the most powerful people in the world are concentrated, the masters of these palaces see the world's people in the same way they see people in the world.

The palanquins of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang arrived early, and they were waiting in a compartment separated by a layer of gauze curtain.Baoyu wanted to go over at first, but when he saw the unsmiling nuns and eunuchs beside him, he timidly stopped moving.

This wait lasted for an hour, until Jia Qiang was drowsy.Finally, the palace maid came to report that Empress Luan had arrived and was about to go there, but she was told that Empress had to summon the female relatives first.Jia Qiang had no choice but to sit down and wait.

Another half an hour passed, and Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang returned to the wing room, but they all had strange expressions.

When passing by Jia Qiang, Jia's mother suddenly stopped and gave him a hard look.

Jia Qiang only regarded her as air, and followed the palace servants, and together with Baoyu, went outside to the main house where many palace ladies and eunuchs guarded.

Seeing him walking away, Mrs. Wang scolded in a low voice: "Look at his arrogance! Why does the empress treat him differently? How can he compare with my Baoyu's half finger!"

Over the years, she also recalled that Jia Qiang couldn't get rid of the several losses she suffered, and she couldn't help but hate him to the bottom of her heart.Just then when she heard Yuan Chun say that she should treat him with tenderness and accept him as Baoyu's arm, she objected without even thinking about it.

"Hush, this is the palace!" Mother Jia glared at the restless daughter-in-law in disgust.It was only in the end that Yuanchun became a noble concubine, and she didn't dare to call Mrs. Wang casually like before.

Realizing that her mother-in-law's attitude had softened more than before, Mrs. Wang felt complacent, and even eased her displeasure just now: "Mother-in-law is so careful, here are all your mother's people, so it's okay."

In the past few days, she must have called the imperial concubine so and so. Jia Mu was very displeased with this villain's success, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only snort coldly, took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and suppressed her displeasure.

On this side, Jia Qiang and Baoyu stepped into the main room, which was many times more luxurious than just now, and knelt down on the soft Persian carpet, saluting Yuan Chun who was sitting behind the curtain of oriental beads flowing with precious light. .

Although she knew that this was a matter of course, Jia Qiang did it reluctantly.Forced to bow to the woman who came out of Rongfu, even if he had other plans, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the previous thought that everyone in the world is a slave to the palace came up again, but this time, he thought more deeply: no matter how high he went, he was always bound by imperial power.If you really want to live freely, you should find a place beyond the reach of the royal family.

But, is there such a place in the world?

A little distracted, he didn't hear what Yuan Chun said just now.When I came back to my senses, I only heard Baoyu replying respectfully: "...everything is fine, and Madam Lao is concerned."

While talking, a well-dressed maid came over with tea.Baoyu sneaked a peek at her, and immediately smiled and said, "Sister Baoqin is also here. I haven't seen her for many years, and my sister has become more and more picky."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was stunned.Although the palace ladies are only servants, they can leave the palace according to the rules when they reach the age.But in a sense, as long as they are still in this palace for a day, they are all the emperor's women.As long as the emperor has a thought, he has to accept the favor.

Throughout the past dynasties, there were strict orders from time to time prohibiting court ladies from eating with eunuchs, prohibiting adultery, and not allowing them to use this as a pretext to collude in private. This is certainly one aspect, but part of the reason is that the emperor's women are not allowed to be touched by eunuchs.

In addition, before the illegitimate son was recognized today, several clan princes felt that they were expected to be heirs, and they all paid special attention to their words and deeds. Even the occasional scene of the prince's son molesting the little maid was not seen for many years.Today, a foreign relative suddenly came, openly speaking frivolously in front of everyone, and the target was the maid beside my sister, this is really... so rare.

Although everyone in the house is Yuan Chun's confidant, but everyone still unavoidably quietly contempt for this younger brother who the empress often talks about: I thought he was a unparalleled and elegant young man, but he didn't expect to be a slut who doesn't know his seriousness dude.

Especially holding the piano, his face flushed with embarrassment.During these years in the palace, she got acquainted with a guard and privately agreed to marry after leaving the palace.In addition, he is usually a very solemn and self-loving person, but he was suddenly judged like this.People who don't know think that her usual dignified appearance is just pretending, and she was also a frivolous person before entering the palace.

She couldn't be more aware of how mean the palace man's mouth is, causing trouble if nothing happens, let alone holding a "handle".Thinking of the consequences of this matter reaching the ears of my sweetheart, I was so anxious that I almost cried.But in her capacity, she couldn't say anything to Baoyu, so she could only look at Yuanchun for help, hoping that the master would discipline this incomprehensible younger brother.

Yuan Chun was so full of heart on Baoyu that he didn't have time to pay attention to Baoqin, he didn't notice her expression at all.

She was also taken aback by her younger brother's words, but she was really overjoyed to see Baoyu who was raised by her own hands today.In addition, knowing that his temperament is that he is willing to eat the rouge on the lips of the maids, and criticize the appearance of the maids when he has nothing to do, so he didn't take it to heart, just smiled, and said dotingly: "It's still so playful."

Hearing what the master said, Baoqin knew that today's matter was hopeless, and his nails dug deeply into the lacquer pattern of the tray.When she stepped back, she couldn't hold back, and gave Baoyu a sneaky look, her eyes were full of resentment.The beloved who has worked so hard to find is very likely to be ruined because of a frivolous word from a young man. How can she not hate?

But Baoyu took this glance as reluctance, and unconsciously began to lust in his heart: I heard that the palace is very difficult, and I want to come to Baoqin sister to live in the palace very unsatisfactorily. She signaled that she wanted me to take her out.Be sure to tell your sister, so that you can live up to the beauty.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "When my mother was reading to me, I occasionally lost energy. Sister Baoqin read it for me. In the past few years without her studying, I always feel that something is missing. Why don't my mother hold Baoqin?" How about my sister rewarding me? I will exchange the musk moon in the house with your empress."

Hearing this, Baoqin smashed the lacquer plate with a bang, full of despair: it was just studying, but Baoyu said it so ambiguously, as if he had already had an affair with him!The previous sentence can still be justified, but with this pile of words, my lover will never believe her again!

But Baoyu took this as a surprise, and even winked at Baoqin, as if asking for credit.It is impossible to see that Baoqin's face is already ugly.

Jia Qiang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saw every change in Baoqin's expression, and laughed secretly in her heart: Who said Baoyu is useless?After all, he is really his own lucky general.Not only did Yuan Chun want to call him into the palace because of him, but even the opportunity to find an internal response in the palace, which he didn't even dare to think of, was pushed to him by him.

Many foolish people always underestimate the ability of servants.As everyone knows, for every person with status, servants are almost equivalent to eyes, ears and brothers.Once the next generation has a different heart, these people will soon become deaf and lame.

However, whether Baoqin will completely chill her heart and give birth to two hearts still depends on Yuan Chun's attitude.

Her gaze fell on the bead curtain without a trace, and Jia Qiang was very much looking forward to what the newly promoted imperial concubine would do.
