The carriage was waiting outside, and Lin Shiyu didn't have time to think about it, so she hurried back and changed her clothes, carefully tidied up her hair and makeup, and hurried out the door.
Nanny Fu, who usually stays in Tinglan Garden to enjoy leisure and happiness, is naturally following at the moment. She just wants to please the Empress Dowager. You can't even ask for it, you can tell it at a glance, if you really want to do something, it depends on whether the Empress Dowager and this old nanny can bear the price.
Just like last time, there was already a delicate sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace.
But unexpectedly, when Lin Shiyu entered the Compassionate Ning Palace, she found another little girl was already there.
This little girl was born with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and her figure was as slender as Lin Shiyu's. She looked delicate and soft, the only difference was that her complexion looked paler, and one could tell at a glance that her body was not very healthy. The whole person is like a delicate and fragile porcelain doll, which makes people feel affectionate.
What's more rare is that she exudes a bookish atmosphere from the inside out, which shows that she is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, but she is quite different from most of the girls from high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital today.
Lin Shiyu always felt that this little girl had a feeling of deja vu, but she racked her brains for a while and couldn't figure out when she had seen her before. She was born in Yangzhou, and she came back to the capital with such a big head... wait for the Empress Dowager to invite her After An sat down, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but look at the little girl a few more times, and it happened that the little girl was also looking at her.
The four eyes meet, all thinking.
The Empress Dowager laughed when she saw this, and said to the little girl: "This is the little fairy that Aijia just told you about, she is about the same age as you, according to the month, you should call her elder sister. Looking at Lin Shiyu again, "This is a girl from the Tong family, the emperor's direct cousin."
Is it Empress Xiaoyiren, the adoptive mother of the fourth master in history?
Lin Shiyu felt even more curious.
The two little girls took their seats again after seeing each other, neither of them had a very lively personality, and neither of them talked much when they met for the first time.
Lin Shiyu was still pondering on the way here just now, the last time the Empress Dowager summoned her, at least she sent a message a day in advance, but this time she was so anxious... When she saw the little girl in front of her Afterwards, she suddenly couldn't help wondering, could it be because of this person?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the Empress Dowager with a loving smile on her face and said: "It seems that the first sight of the two of you is very eye-catching, so Aijia can feel relieved, after all, you will live together in the palace in the future. It has been decades, and my father is in a high position and is highly valued by the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the right-hand man. It would be great if you two sisters can work together in harmony and harmony in the palace to serve the emperor well."
The two little girls lowered their heads shyly, but Lin Shiyu felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that a woman who has lived in the harem all her life does not understand the cruelty of the harem?Don't understand the thoughts between the women in the harem?What and harmony work together to serve the emperor?It's a joke!He also said that their father was the emperor's right-hand man, and the implication was that their weight was equal... What does this mean?It means that they will be threats to each other and strong competitors!
Lin Shiyu didn't have any interest in Gong Dou, and didn't have that desire to compete for favor and position, so naturally she wouldn't be provoked by the Empress Dowager, but what about Miss Tong's family?She was a little unsure, and for the first time felt bored with the Empress Dowager.
She hasn't entered the harem yet, and even today is only the second time we meet, why is she so inexplicably attracted to people?So impatient to sow dissension and create disputes...
"Concubine Niu is here!"
"The concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe."
"Excuse me, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Then it was Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan who saluted Niu Hulu.
After such a cumbersome etiquette, it finally stopped.
The Niu Hulu family is the concubine daughter of Ye Bilong, one of the four major assistant ministers. She is a concubine when she enters the palace, and she only lives under the Hesheli family of Empress Xiaocheng. The Niu Hulu family has the highest status, and not only is she the only concubine, but there are no concubines or nobles below, most of them are just mere concubines, and they are far behind concubines, so today's Niu Hulu's family can be said to be the dominant family in the harem, and it couldn't be more beautiful.
But to my surprise, Niu Hulu's eyebrows and eyes always seemed to be full of depression. As beautiful as outsiders imagine.
"Why did you come here today? Didn't I just hear that you called the imperial doctor yesterday? Look at your complexion, what's wrong with you?" The Empress Dowager asked with concern.
Niu Hulu smiled lightly, and said in an ordinary way: "The Empress Dowager Lao is worried, but it's just that there was some wind at night and caused some headaches. I took the medicine yesterday and rested for a day, and it's no big deal."
While speaking, one hand touched her abdomen unconsciously, and then she looked at the unconcealable loneliness in her eyes... Lin Shiyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, is it because she can't get a child?
In this way, it is no wonder that she looks so depressed. The son in the harem is the foundation of a woman's life. Without a son, no matter how good the family background is, no matter how high the status is, it is just a superficial beauty. Unable to stand on his feet.
I don't know if the Empress Dowager found out, but she didn't ask any more questions. After listening, she just nodded, "It's fine."
Niu Hulu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, glanced at Lin Shiyu and said with a smile: "I recognize the cousin and concubine of the Tong family, but I have never seen this girl before. I don't know which family it is from." Lady?"
"It's not surprising that you don't recognize her. She has only been in the capital for a few days." The Empress Dowager took Lin Shiyu's hand, and said with a friendly and loving look, "She is Lin Ruhailin, the inspector. The eldest daughter of the lord's family, it just so happens that you are here to get to know each other, in the future you two will be together for a long time."
Hearing this, Niu Hulu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Shiyu carefully, and sighed: "So it's Miss Lin... I've heard that Miss Lin came down to earth as a fairy. I can't believe it, now that I have seen the real person, I know that I am really a narrow-minded concubine. Such a beautiful appearance can only be found in the sky. The emperor is really blessed... In the future, if Miss Lin enters the palace, the emperor can still occasionally Thinking of being a concubine or a concubine will be enough..."
The last sentence with a slightly sour taste made the Empress Dowager laugh, especially when she saw Tong Zhilan's involuntary gaze towards Lin Shiyu, she felt a little more satisfied in her heart. Thinking that Niu Hulu said it out, it seems that he is also a caring person.
The Empress Dowager disliked the Tong family very much, and naturally had no affection for the girls of the Tong family, but Kangxi had a deep affection for the Tong family, as if she wanted to make up for the regret of her biological mother's early death on the Tong family. It is especially different for Tong Zhilan, a direct cousin.
After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager still felt that Tong Zhilan was the only one who could check and balance Lin Shiyu. Although she was not as good looking, she was better because of her background. Her surname Tong was enough.Moreover, the Empress Dowager also knew that Tong Zhilan's heart had been attached to Kangxi since she was a child. It was a sincere admiration. It would be much easier to provoke her to oppose Lin Shiyu. Women are too manipulative.
She didn't want to really treat Lin Shiyu, but she didn't want to watch the history of Huang Taiji and Fulin reappear. Even if it was just a possibility, she had to plan ahead to make sure everything was safe, and the harem was the same as the court. It is right to have to pay attention to a technique of checks and balances.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager glanced at Niu Hulu.
It is not a good idea for a family to dominate, but the backgrounds of these women in the palace now... But Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, is barely enough, and it is time to remind the emperor.
Just thinking about it, I heard a shout outside, "The emperor is here!"
Lin Shiyu saw that the eyes of the little beauty who had been sitting quietly on the opposite side suddenly lit up. She seemed reluctant to blink when she looked at the bright yellow figure. The admiration and admiration are so hot... Blind people can see her overflowing girlish sentiments.
This is really the first time in the world to know that there are really little stars in a person's eyes.
Lin Shiyu couldn't help sighing secretly, both surprised and amazed.
Is this the legendary love?
After seeing the ceremony, Kangxi asked curiously: "I heard the emperor's grandmother's laughter just at the door, but if you have any interesting stories, let me tell you?"
"Wouldn't it be the most interesting thing to be accompanied by three beauties like flowers and jade?" The empress dowager looked satisfied and joking, and glanced at Jia Yuanchun, who was still dressed as a court lady, who was following him , suddenly sighed, "Unfortunately, it will take two years for Miss Lin and Girl Tong to enter the palace. It's rare to see her for the last time. On weekdays, only Concubine Niu is left to accompany Ai's family."
The words were very lonely, as if he was an old man who was afraid of being alone, but none of the people present were fools.
Kangxi's smile paused for a moment, and he continued: "I just plan to discuss with the imperial grandmother. Mrs. Jia has been serving me for a while. She is considerate and considerate, and has a gentle temperament. It is not bad... I think It's better to make her a concubine, what does the imperial grandmother think?"
Jia Yuanchun was overjoyed immediately, but he suppressed it and did not lose his composure on the spot.
"Concubine?" The Empress Dowager frowned, "Anyway, she is also a girl from the Duke's Mansion. The ancestors of the Jia family also made great contributions to our Qing Dynasty. Is a concubine a little lower?"
Originally, Jia Yuanchun was hired only to show that he bowed his head to the Empress Dowager, in exchange for her support to make the withdrawal smoothly, and at the same time, it was also for some of his own plans, not out of love at all, or even Forced to make a helpless choice... I don't want to mention the conflict in my heart. Giving a concubine is already his biggest concession. If he didn't know that the Empress Dowager would never allow it, he would have given up the position of a nobleman.
Thinking of this, Kangxi didn't show the slightest bit on his face, he just said: "Nowadays, there is only Concubine Niu who is above the noble position in the palace, and Jia's concubine is just under one person. How can it be low? If you come up Just seal the imperial concubine, how will she be promoted when she gives birth to elder brother in the future?"
The Empress Dowager thinks about it, but she can't be promoted to a concubine in the future, right?There are only two noble concubines in total, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will belong to Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan in the future. How could Jia Yuanchun and He De climb on top of them instead?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager nodded, "Then make me a concubine." After all, she is also the lord of the first palace, so it doesn't count as wronging her. The Rongguo Mansion is just a face, let alone inheriting Jia Yuanchun's real father is not in the Rongguo Mansion, she is really the daughter of a small official, so the concubine position is really wasted for her.
Only then did Jia Yuanchun feel completely at ease, with a happy expression on his face, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.
Tong Zhilan on the side stared at Jia Yuanchun for a long while, then at Kangxi, then lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Niu Hulu's face was full of smiles, "It's rare that there is another high-ranking sister in the palace who can share some palace affairs for the concubine, and the concubine can finally relax."
The Empress Dowager originally intended to share her power, so naturally she would not say anything at the moment, but she seemed very appreciative and gratified.
But Kangxi was also noncommittal with a smile on his face, he wasn't worried about Jia Yuanchun's rights at all, he just listened to what these harem women had to say, it was her ability for Niu Hulu to tell her to touch every corner.
"Which palace do you want to live in, Your Majesty? The concubine should hurry up and send someone to clean it up, otherwise it will be dark in the future."
Kangxi immediately shook hands with the shopkeeper, "Since you are in charge of all the affairs of the harem now, let you arrange them."
"Since that's the case, the concubine will arrange it now."
"Go." Kangxi waved his hand, and said to Jia Yuanchun: "Concubine Jia also go and pack up her own things and prepare to move."
Jia Yuanchun thanked Kangxi again with a happy face, and before leaving, he couldn't help but cast a shy glance at Kangxi, the excitement in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
After all, he is the king of a country with a lot of things to do every day, and it is not easy to find time to ask Ann to say a few words. After sitting for about half an hour, Kangxi left in a hurry.
And he had only walked for a while, and the Empress Dowager ran out of excuses and asked someone to send Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan out of the palace.
The two little girls hadn't said a few serious words when they met for the first time, and with such awkward identities, it was a bit strange to walk side by side all the way, and the atmosphere was silent and weird.
Suddenly, the little girl next to him said softly: "My cousin once said that he likes me..."
Lin Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and before she could figure out how to answer, she saw Tong Zhilan look up at her, "But just now when my cousin in the Palace of Compassionate Ning only glanced at me when he entered the door, he was talking to the Empress Dowager." Every now and then my eyes will turn to you inadvertently."
"Uh..." Lin Shiyu was embarrassed for a moment, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, so he said, "Maybe he likes you, but he didn't say he only likes you..."
"You! Are you proud?"
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry because of grievance, Lin Shiyu hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant that you are too naive... just listen to what men say, why not?" Is it true?"
The latter sentence was not very good for people to hear, so Lin Shiyu leaned close to the little girl's ear and whispered it softly. Who would have thought that she would unexpectedly see the little girl's ears turn red slowly, and felt quite funny for a moment.
"Just talk when you talk, what are you doing so close?" Tong Zhilan tilted her head uncomfortably to the side, fell silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "My cousin is the emperor, and I know he is destined to be the one with many concubines in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces." , I just can't accept that he puts other people in his heart... more important than me." After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lin Shiyu again, with a stubborn expression on his face.
Lin Shiyu was speechless for a while, but Tong Zhilan obviously didn't want her to answer anything, so she quickened her pace and left first.
Looking at the slender back, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but want to sigh, falling in love with an emperor, or an emperor like Kangxi... What good results can there be?It's just torturing yourself for nothing.
Knowing that the little girl didn't want to see her at the moment, Lin Shiyu deliberately slowed down, and gradually the distance really widened. Who would have thought that when he was approaching the gate of the palace, he would see Li Dequan running away at a trot all the way? come over.
"Thanks for catching up! Miss Lin, let's go with the servant, the emperor is waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
Helpless, Lin Shiyu had no choice but to turn around again.
Naturally, the nanny who sent the two of them out of the palace didn't have to follow, she just went back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to report to her orders.
When they got to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Dequan just stood outside the gate. Lin Shiyu went in alone and found that there was no slave other than Kangxi.
Without waiting for her to salute, Kangxi pointed to the side and said, "Play the song from last time for me again."
"Yes." Are you bored again?
indeed.
Kangxi was really annoyed.
The political affairs of the previous dynasty have exhausted him physically and mentally, so that's all, that's the responsibility that belongs to him as an emperor, but the empress dowager... brought his cousin and Lin Shiyu together, and what he said meant something. If you refer to it, it is clear at a glance why the purpose is!
From the bottom of his heart, it is not incomprehensible for the empress dowager to worry, but why doesn't she think about him?This girl from the Lin family deserves to be favored, and her first cousin is also different. If these two people really compete, how should he choose?There is simply no choice!The Empress Dowager completely ignored his embarrassment in order to achieve her own goals, or did she actually want to create some trouble for him in her own heart?
Thinking of this, Kangxi's eyes also became dark.
It is really too much for him not to doubt that the Empress Dowager is definitely not an ordinary woman, and it is impossible for her to have such insight. She will not be ignorant of the importance of the Lin family girl and her cousin, and it is definitely enough to make these two people quarrel. He was in a state of desperation, and he would have to be allocated a lot of energy and thoughts by then, so how could he still be able to show his grand plans with all his heart and soul?Unless... the empress dowager had this idea in mind, and she wanted to stumbling him, afraid that he would concentrate the imperial power too quickly and lose control?
The thoughts in Kangxi's mind were very chaotic. With the sound of the piano, his irritable mood gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help closing his eyes.
At the end of the song, when Kangxi opened his eyes again, his brows were completely relaxed. Looking at Lin Shiyu, he couldn't help sighing again, "It's not an exaggeration to praise your proficiency. How many people practice hard for a lifetime may not be enough. To reach this level, you are only about 14 years old, which shows how talented you are, which is really enviable."
"God just blesses all the talents of the servants in this area. The four things of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the remaining three things are absolutely shameless. No matter how you learn it when you are young, you will not be able to understand it. I am so angry that Mr. Cursing the elm head."
Hearing this and seeing her embarrassed little expression, Kangxi couldn't help being amused, and his mood became more relaxed, "Then next time I have to take a good look at what kind of elm head this is."
Lin Shiyu suddenly became more and more embarrassed, "The emperor can spare the servants. I have always heard that the emperor is knowledgeable and talented, but the servants have not learned such a superficial idea. Isn't that ridiculous and generous? They should be ashamed to see the emperor in the future."
After the two laughed a few words, the relationship seemed to have drawn a lot closer, at least it was no longer so strange and embarrassing.
Kangxi asked someone to bring in tea, melons and fruits, and said: "Just now at the empress dowager's place, you were too restrained. You haven't even had two sips of tea. Quench your thirst."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." After finishing speaking, Lin Shiyu really didn't want to be polite to him, and slowly drank the tea.
"You have lived in Jia's house for some time, but are you still used to it?"
Lin Shiyu hurriedly put down the tea, and replied: "Grandmother is very caring and caring for us and sisters, and we are always here for us, and it is lively when the sisters talk and laugh together on weekdays..."
Having said that, but the lonely thoughts inadvertently revealed between the eyebrows and eyes still make people feel soft in their hearts.
After all, she is still a little girl, homesick, right?
"I remember that the Lin family also has a house in the capital, but it's just going to be in disrepair for a long time...you can find some people to clean it up when you have time."
Lin Shiyu was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her heart jumped up when she realized it. Is that what she meant?Should be right?
Looking at the little girl's bright eyes full of eager anticipation, Kangxi didn't hold back anymore, and said with a smile: "I am currently looking for someone to take over your father, and your father will be able to return to Beijing in a few days, so the house should be repaired as soon as possible." Some things... Forget it, it's not convenient for you, a little girl, to handle this matter. Besides, your house has been around for some years, and no one has lived in it these years. For a big project, it’s better for me to reward a house directly when the time comes.”
Lin Shiyu didn't care about whether he was a house or not, and he only had one sentence in his heart - father can be transferred back to the capital!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"What? Is this how I was dismissed with just a thank you?" Kangxi pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted.
Lin Shiyu was not afraid of him, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Why don't I play another song for the emperor?"
"That's right."
Cining Palace
When the Empress Dowager saw Mammy come back, she asked, "How is it? Did those two girls say anything?"
"I said a few words, but the servant didn't hear what was said, only looked at Miss Tong's expression is not very good, and then left by herself first."
"Okay, you step back."
"It seems to have worked, that girl from the Tong family..." Su Mo'er shook her head, but she didn't finish her sentence.
The empress dowager sneered, "She's still a direct aunt and nephew. Compared with her aunt, she's a little less interesting." It's not good to be tempted by someone, but she is really tempted by the king of a country, naive, stupid!
"Just wait and see, she will regret it in the future."
There are one branch at each end of the flower bloom.
However, everyone in the Jia family was still doing their own things as usual, who would have thought that they would suddenly be overjoyed?Suddenly hearing the good news of Jia Yuanchun's concubine, everyone was stunned and full of disbelief. After all, she has been in the palace for many years, and the best flowering period of the girl's family has passed... Everyone in the family talked Although I didn't say it, I really didn't have much hope in my heart. I really never expected that there would be a day when things turned around.
After confirming the authenticity of the news again and again, everyone was overjoyed for a moment and didn't know what to do. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't help wiping away tears on the spot.
"I knew that my Yuanchun must have a great fortune." Mrs. Wang suddenly felt the gloom in her heart dissipated. She looked coldly at the people around her who were desperately trying to curry favor with her. , and the chin also lifted up.
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Auntie has to change her mouth. In the future, she can no longer call her by her name directly. She has to be called Niangniang!"
"Very, very true." Mother Jia wiped her tears and nodded, "Our family finally has a mother... Bless the ancestors, bless the ancestors."
"If you want me to say that it's all taught by the old lady well, who doesn't know that you personally raised your mother when she was young? It can be seen that the old lady is capable, and I will have the cheek to send sister Qiao to the old lady's room tomorrow." We can only keep it, and we don't dare to expect to be comparable to her aunt, but if we can have half of her aunt's ability, we will be satisfied."
Just as he was flattering, Dong Mansion next door also rushed over after hearing the news, and the piles of auspicious words became more and more flattering, making Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang feel elated.
However, Jia Baoyu didn't seem to be aware of such a happy event, as if he was cut off from everyone, he just sat there blankly and didn't see the slightest joy.
Seeing him like this, Xue Baochai asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you not happy about such a big happy event?"
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu frowned, "What kind of happy event is this? How nice would it be for an innocent girl to be born and raised at home? Why bother to go to that place where people cannibalize? If you ask me, that place is clearly The dirtiest place in the world..."
Xue Baochai quickly covered his mouth, and spat: "Are you trying to kill this big family? You're getting more and more out of your mind!"
Jia Baoyu turned his head away unhappily, but no matter what, he never made any shocking words.
Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, he stopped caring about him, and just watched the lively scene in front of him coldly, and his heart became more and more sprouting.
When Lin Shiyu came back, she saw the crowds of people in the courtyard. It was rare that no one noticed her, and she didn't care, so she just took her sister and left quietly.
"Sister, everything is going well? Why is the empress dowager so anxious to summon you?"
"It's nothing, I just met a younger sister." Lin Shiyu couldn't help but look at her own younger sister a few more times, and then suddenly realized, no wonder she always felt that the girl from the Tong family seemed to have known each other before. To be precise, it should be Sister Lin in the book.
But it is only on the surface, but the temperament is quite different.
The two sisters went back to Tinglan Garden and locked themselves in their room. Only then did Lin Shiyu tell the story that his father was about to be transferred back to the capital. Lin Daiyu was so happy that she burst into tears again, wishing to see her father immediately.
"It's good that only the two of us know about this matter, don't say anything about it, the emperor hasn't found a replacement yet, so wait a little longer."
Lin Daiyu nodded repeatedly.
In the next period of time, the two sisters seemed to be forgotten, even the old lady didn't care about them, and it was not for other reasons, but the Jia family was busy again.
Just because of Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine, a seven-day running water banquet was extravagantly arranged. Every day, countless people came in and out, and the troupe sang sonorously and babbling day and night, Not to mention how lively it was.
But they don't know how those people who are really in the center of the powerful in the capital look at it with contempt and ridicule, but it's just a mere concubine, and it's worth it?Those who didn't know it thought it was a step up to the sky.
Lin Shiyu looked on coldly and couldn't help shaking her head. This family is really too high-profile, and the person above does not like such a publicity style.
The two sisters were not the ones who like to join in the fun, and the people who come and go are strangers they all know, so naturally they are even more reluctant to get involved, and they only stay at the gate of Tinglanyuan every day. For those who don't go out of the second door, occasionally the Sanchun sisters will come to find a quiet and comfortable place, and there is no one else.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng came unexpectedly this day.
Lin Shiyu looked surprised, "There is still a running water banquet outside, why do you have time to come to my place when you are so busy?"
Wang Xifeng also didn't see the outside world at all, sat down, poured a cup of tea by herself, gulped it down, and sighed with a last touch of her mouth: "It's nothing more than two or three days a day, I really suffer after a few days in a row." Can't stop, it's too noisy."
"You can be idle?" Lin Daiyu looked at her sideways with feigned surprise, with the corners of her mouth slightly bent, half a smile, "No one in the whole house knows that your Second Mistress Lian is the one person who can't take time off the most. Now such a big occasion, I still think you are enjoying it."
Seeing Wang Xifeng deflated, Lin Shiyu couldn't help pursing her lips, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Baba looking for you? Come on, I'm afraid someone will come looking for you in a while, such a big battle The battle would not have been possible without your Second Mistress Lian sitting in charge."
"You two are so talkative..." Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, and looked at Lianyi and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Shiyu understood, "You all go out first."
Waiting until there were only three of them left in the room, Wang Xifeng said: "I don't know why my heart is always a little noisy... It is a great joy to say that the eldest girl in this family has won the favor, but it's just a few days ago. But I always dreamed about Rong’s daughter-in-law... You don’t know, she gave me a dream the night she went, and I couldn’t hear what she said, and then I was busy with her funeral. I forgot, who would have dreamed again inexplicably in the past few days... and said that when the moon is full, the water will overflow when it is full, and that when you climb a height, you will fall heavily..."
"When she went there, I couldn't figure it out when I heard these words, but now that the eldest girl has suddenly gained power, and then I think of these words..." Wang Xifeng touched her chest, always feeling a little uneasy "The big guys in the family are all in high spirits, so it's not easy for me to say these things. I'm afraid they'll just think I'm talking nonsense and shame people. The two sisters are rare and transparent people. Considering you So, what does this mean? Did I think too much or..."
Lin Shiyu was really surprised this time. She never expected that Wang Xifeng would still remember Qin Keqing's dream, and even associate it with Jia Yuanchun's gaining power. Should it be said that it is a woman's intuition?
The demise of the Jia family actually started from the moment Jia Yuanchun gained power.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Shiyu said: "Tuomeng's words are indeed very mysterious, but some things are really hard to jump to conclusions. Maybe it's just that you think too much, maybe she really foresaw something when the end came. , I came to you in order to leave a lifeline for the family... Let me tell you, this matter is very involved, I would rather believe it or not... Why don't you make some plans in private and leave a way out for yourself, If nothing happens in the future, these arrangements will not hinder anything, but if it is really what she said, then it will be a real chance."
Wang Xifeng pursed her lips firmly, she was not in a hurry to speak for a while, but her face was pale and miserable, and she didn't look very well.
After a while, she sighed and made up her mind, "You're right. If you think too much, it won't hurt anything. On the contrary... You can't gamble on such things, and you can't afford to gamble. It's always wrong to leave an extra way out." There will be mistakes."
Before I could say a few more words, I heard someone coming from outside.
Supporting her tired body, Wang Xifeng forced herself to stand up, "I really want to thank my sister today, let's have a good talk after we finish our work outside."
Lin Shiyu waved his hands casually, "Go quickly, there will be another rush outside."
Seeing that Wang Xifeng had disappeared, Lin Daiyu asked her softly, "What does my sister know? Could something really happen?"
"How can I know what it is? It's just that the extreme prosperity must decline, and the extreme joy begets sorrow. This has been the case since ancient times, so why is it so strange?"
Lin Daiyu thought about it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with this statement. Regardless of whether it is a country or a family, since ancient times, no one can last forever. After the prosperity, it must slowly decline until it is completely destroyed, and so on. .
The Jia family... is no exception.
Nanny Fu, who usually stays in Tinglan Garden to enjoy leisure and happiness, is naturally following at the moment. She just wants to please the Empress Dowager. You can't even ask for it, you can tell it at a glance, if you really want to do something, it depends on whether the Empress Dowager and this old nanny can bear the price.
Just like last time, there was already a delicate sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace.
But unexpectedly, when Lin Shiyu entered the Compassionate Ning Palace, she found another little girl was already there.
This little girl was born with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and her figure was as slender as Lin Shiyu's. She looked delicate and soft, the only difference was that her complexion looked paler, and one could tell at a glance that her body was not very healthy. The whole person is like a delicate and fragile porcelain doll, which makes people feel affectionate.
What's more rare is that she exudes a bookish atmosphere from the inside out, which shows that she is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, but she is quite different from most of the girls from high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital today.
Lin Shiyu always felt that this little girl had a feeling of deja vu, but she racked her brains for a while and couldn't figure out when she had seen her before. She was born in Yangzhou, and she came back to the capital with such a big head... wait for the Empress Dowager to invite her After An sat down, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but look at the little girl a few more times, and it happened that the little girl was also looking at her.
The four eyes meet, all thinking.
The Empress Dowager laughed when she saw this, and said to the little girl: "This is the little fairy that Aijia just told you about, she is about the same age as you, according to the month, you should call her elder sister. Looking at Lin Shiyu again, "This is a girl from the Tong family, the emperor's direct cousin."
Is it Empress Xiaoyiren, the adoptive mother of the fourth master in history?
Lin Shiyu felt even more curious.
The two little girls took their seats again after seeing each other, neither of them had a very lively personality, and neither of them talked much when they met for the first time.
Lin Shiyu was still pondering on the way here just now, the last time the Empress Dowager summoned her, at least she sent a message a day in advance, but this time she was so anxious... When she saw the little girl in front of her Afterwards, she suddenly couldn't help wondering, could it be because of this person?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the Empress Dowager with a loving smile on her face and said: "It seems that the first sight of the two of you is very eye-catching, so Aijia can feel relieved, after all, you will live together in the palace in the future. It has been decades, and my father is in a high position and is highly valued by the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the right-hand man. It would be great if you two sisters can work together in harmony and harmony in the palace to serve the emperor well."
The two little girls lowered their heads shyly, but Lin Shiyu felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that a woman who has lived in the harem all her life does not understand the cruelty of the harem?Don't understand the thoughts between the women in the harem?What and harmony work together to serve the emperor?It's a joke!He also said that their father was the emperor's right-hand man, and the implication was that their weight was equal... What does this mean?It means that they will be threats to each other and strong competitors!
Lin Shiyu didn't have any interest in Gong Dou, and didn't have that desire to compete for favor and position, so naturally she wouldn't be provoked by the Empress Dowager, but what about Miss Tong's family?She was a little unsure, and for the first time felt bored with the Empress Dowager.
She hasn't entered the harem yet, and even today is only the second time we meet, why is she so inexplicably attracted to people?So impatient to sow dissension and create disputes...
"Concubine Niu is here!"
"The concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe."
"Excuse me, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Then it was Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan who saluted Niu Hulu.
After such a cumbersome etiquette, it finally stopped.
The Niu Hulu family is the concubine daughter of Ye Bilong, one of the four major assistant ministers. She is a concubine when she enters the palace, and she only lives under the Hesheli family of Empress Xiaocheng. The Niu Hulu family has the highest status, and not only is she the only concubine, but there are no concubines or nobles below, most of them are just mere concubines, and they are far behind concubines, so today's Niu Hulu's family can be said to be the dominant family in the harem, and it couldn't be more beautiful.
But to my surprise, Niu Hulu's eyebrows and eyes always seemed to be full of depression. As beautiful as outsiders imagine.
"Why did you come here today? Didn't I just hear that you called the imperial doctor yesterday? Look at your complexion, what's wrong with you?" The Empress Dowager asked with concern.
Niu Hulu smiled lightly, and said in an ordinary way: "The Empress Dowager Lao is worried, but it's just that there was some wind at night and caused some headaches. I took the medicine yesterday and rested for a day, and it's no big deal."
While speaking, one hand touched her abdomen unconsciously, and then she looked at the unconcealable loneliness in her eyes... Lin Shiyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, is it because she can't get a child?
In this way, it is no wonder that she looks so depressed. The son in the harem is the foundation of a woman's life. Without a son, no matter how good the family background is, no matter how high the status is, it is just a superficial beauty. Unable to stand on his feet.
I don't know if the Empress Dowager found out, but she didn't ask any more questions. After listening, she just nodded, "It's fine."
Niu Hulu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, glanced at Lin Shiyu and said with a smile: "I recognize the cousin and concubine of the Tong family, but I have never seen this girl before. I don't know which family it is from." Lady?"
"It's not surprising that you don't recognize her. She has only been in the capital for a few days." The Empress Dowager took Lin Shiyu's hand, and said with a friendly and loving look, "She is Lin Ruhailin, the inspector. The eldest daughter of the lord's family, it just so happens that you are here to get to know each other, in the future you two will be together for a long time."
Hearing this, Niu Hulu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Shiyu carefully, and sighed: "So it's Miss Lin... I've heard that Miss Lin came down to earth as a fairy. I can't believe it, now that I have seen the real person, I know that I am really a narrow-minded concubine. Such a beautiful appearance can only be found in the sky. The emperor is really blessed... In the future, if Miss Lin enters the palace, the emperor can still occasionally Thinking of being a concubine or a concubine will be enough..."
The last sentence with a slightly sour taste made the Empress Dowager laugh, especially when she saw Tong Zhilan's involuntary gaze towards Lin Shiyu, she felt a little more satisfied in her heart. Thinking that Niu Hulu said it out, it seems that he is also a caring person.
The Empress Dowager disliked the Tong family very much, and naturally had no affection for the girls of the Tong family, but Kangxi had a deep affection for the Tong family, as if she wanted to make up for the regret of her biological mother's early death on the Tong family. It is especially different for Tong Zhilan, a direct cousin.
After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager still felt that Tong Zhilan was the only one who could check and balance Lin Shiyu. Although she was not as good looking, she was better because of her background. Her surname Tong was enough.Moreover, the Empress Dowager also knew that Tong Zhilan's heart had been attached to Kangxi since she was a child. It was a sincere admiration. It would be much easier to provoke her to oppose Lin Shiyu. Women are too manipulative.
She didn't want to really treat Lin Shiyu, but she didn't want to watch the history of Huang Taiji and Fulin reappear. Even if it was just a possibility, she had to plan ahead to make sure everything was safe, and the harem was the same as the court. It is right to have to pay attention to a technique of checks and balances.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager glanced at Niu Hulu.
It is not a good idea for a family to dominate, but the backgrounds of these women in the palace now... But Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, is barely enough, and it is time to remind the emperor.
Just thinking about it, I heard a shout outside, "The emperor is here!"
Lin Shiyu saw that the eyes of the little beauty who had been sitting quietly on the opposite side suddenly lit up. She seemed reluctant to blink when she looked at the bright yellow figure. The admiration and admiration are so hot... Blind people can see her overflowing girlish sentiments.
This is really the first time in the world to know that there are really little stars in a person's eyes.
Lin Shiyu couldn't help sighing secretly, both surprised and amazed.
Is this the legendary love?
After seeing the ceremony, Kangxi asked curiously: "I heard the emperor's grandmother's laughter just at the door, but if you have any interesting stories, let me tell you?"
"Wouldn't it be the most interesting thing to be accompanied by three beauties like flowers and jade?" The empress dowager looked satisfied and joking, and glanced at Jia Yuanchun, who was still dressed as a court lady, who was following him , suddenly sighed, "Unfortunately, it will take two years for Miss Lin and Girl Tong to enter the palace. It's rare to see her for the last time. On weekdays, only Concubine Niu is left to accompany Ai's family."
The words were very lonely, as if he was an old man who was afraid of being alone, but none of the people present were fools.
Kangxi's smile paused for a moment, and he continued: "I just plan to discuss with the imperial grandmother. Mrs. Jia has been serving me for a while. She is considerate and considerate, and has a gentle temperament. It is not bad... I think It's better to make her a concubine, what does the imperial grandmother think?"
Jia Yuanchun was overjoyed immediately, but he suppressed it and did not lose his composure on the spot.
"Concubine?" The Empress Dowager frowned, "Anyway, she is also a girl from the Duke's Mansion. The ancestors of the Jia family also made great contributions to our Qing Dynasty. Is a concubine a little lower?"
Originally, Jia Yuanchun was hired only to show that he bowed his head to the Empress Dowager, in exchange for her support to make the withdrawal smoothly, and at the same time, it was also for some of his own plans, not out of love at all, or even Forced to make a helpless choice... I don't want to mention the conflict in my heart. Giving a concubine is already his biggest concession. If he didn't know that the Empress Dowager would never allow it, he would have given up the position of a nobleman.
Thinking of this, Kangxi didn't show the slightest bit on his face, he just said: "Nowadays, there is only Concubine Niu who is above the noble position in the palace, and Jia's concubine is just under one person. How can it be low? If you come up Just seal the imperial concubine, how will she be promoted when she gives birth to elder brother in the future?"
The Empress Dowager thinks about it, but she can't be promoted to a concubine in the future, right?There are only two noble concubines in total, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will belong to Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan in the future. How could Jia Yuanchun and He De climb on top of them instead?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager nodded, "Then make me a concubine." After all, she is also the lord of the first palace, so it doesn't count as wronging her. The Rongguo Mansion is just a face, let alone inheriting Jia Yuanchun's real father is not in the Rongguo Mansion, she is really the daughter of a small official, so the concubine position is really wasted for her.
Only then did Jia Yuanchun feel completely at ease, with a happy expression on his face, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.
Tong Zhilan on the side stared at Jia Yuanchun for a long while, then at Kangxi, then lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Niu Hulu's face was full of smiles, "It's rare that there is another high-ranking sister in the palace who can share some palace affairs for the concubine, and the concubine can finally relax."
The Empress Dowager originally intended to share her power, so naturally she would not say anything at the moment, but she seemed very appreciative and gratified.
But Kangxi was also noncommittal with a smile on his face, he wasn't worried about Jia Yuanchun's rights at all, he just listened to what these harem women had to say, it was her ability for Niu Hulu to tell her to touch every corner.
"Which palace do you want to live in, Your Majesty? The concubine should hurry up and send someone to clean it up, otherwise it will be dark in the future."
Kangxi immediately shook hands with the shopkeeper, "Since you are in charge of all the affairs of the harem now, let you arrange them."
"Since that's the case, the concubine will arrange it now."
"Go." Kangxi waved his hand, and said to Jia Yuanchun: "Concubine Jia also go and pack up her own things and prepare to move."
Jia Yuanchun thanked Kangxi again with a happy face, and before leaving, he couldn't help but cast a shy glance at Kangxi, the excitement in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
After all, he is the king of a country with a lot of things to do every day, and it is not easy to find time to ask Ann to say a few words. After sitting for about half an hour, Kangxi left in a hurry.
And he had only walked for a while, and the Empress Dowager ran out of excuses and asked someone to send Lin Shiyu and Tong Zhilan out of the palace.
The two little girls hadn't said a few serious words when they met for the first time, and with such awkward identities, it was a bit strange to walk side by side all the way, and the atmosphere was silent and weird.
Suddenly, the little girl next to him said softly: "My cousin once said that he likes me..."
Lin Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and before she could figure out how to answer, she saw Tong Zhilan look up at her, "But just now when my cousin in the Palace of Compassionate Ning only glanced at me when he entered the door, he was talking to the Empress Dowager." Every now and then my eyes will turn to you inadvertently."
"Uh..." Lin Shiyu was embarrassed for a moment, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, so he said, "Maybe he likes you, but he didn't say he only likes you..."
"You! Are you proud?"
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry because of grievance, Lin Shiyu hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant that you are too naive... just listen to what men say, why not?" Is it true?"
The latter sentence was not very good for people to hear, so Lin Shiyu leaned close to the little girl's ear and whispered it softly. Who would have thought that she would unexpectedly see the little girl's ears turn red slowly, and felt quite funny for a moment.
"Just talk when you talk, what are you doing so close?" Tong Zhilan tilted her head uncomfortably to the side, fell silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "My cousin is the emperor, and I know he is destined to be the one with many concubines in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces." , I just can't accept that he puts other people in his heart... more important than me." After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lin Shiyu again, with a stubborn expression on his face.
Lin Shiyu was speechless for a while, but Tong Zhilan obviously didn't want her to answer anything, so she quickened her pace and left first.
Looking at the slender back, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but want to sigh, falling in love with an emperor, or an emperor like Kangxi... What good results can there be?It's just torturing yourself for nothing.
Knowing that the little girl didn't want to see her at the moment, Lin Shiyu deliberately slowed down, and gradually the distance really widened. Who would have thought that when he was approaching the gate of the palace, he would see Li Dequan running away at a trot all the way? come over.
"Thanks for catching up! Miss Lin, let's go with the servant, the emperor is waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
Helpless, Lin Shiyu had no choice but to turn around again.
Naturally, the nanny who sent the two of them out of the palace didn't have to follow, she just went back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to report to her orders.
When they got to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Dequan just stood outside the gate. Lin Shiyu went in alone and found that there was no slave other than Kangxi.
Without waiting for her to salute, Kangxi pointed to the side and said, "Play the song from last time for me again."
"Yes." Are you bored again?
indeed.
Kangxi was really annoyed.
The political affairs of the previous dynasty have exhausted him physically and mentally, so that's all, that's the responsibility that belongs to him as an emperor, but the empress dowager... brought his cousin and Lin Shiyu together, and what he said meant something. If you refer to it, it is clear at a glance why the purpose is!
From the bottom of his heart, it is not incomprehensible for the empress dowager to worry, but why doesn't she think about him?This girl from the Lin family deserves to be favored, and her first cousin is also different. If these two people really compete, how should he choose?There is simply no choice!The Empress Dowager completely ignored his embarrassment in order to achieve her own goals, or did she actually want to create some trouble for him in her own heart?
Thinking of this, Kangxi's eyes also became dark.
It is really too much for him not to doubt that the Empress Dowager is definitely not an ordinary woman, and it is impossible for her to have such insight. She will not be ignorant of the importance of the Lin family girl and her cousin, and it is definitely enough to make these two people quarrel. He was in a state of desperation, and he would have to be allocated a lot of energy and thoughts by then, so how could he still be able to show his grand plans with all his heart and soul?Unless... the empress dowager had this idea in mind, and she wanted to stumbling him, afraid that he would concentrate the imperial power too quickly and lose control?
The thoughts in Kangxi's mind were very chaotic. With the sound of the piano, his irritable mood gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help closing his eyes.
At the end of the song, when Kangxi opened his eyes again, his brows were completely relaxed. Looking at Lin Shiyu, he couldn't help sighing again, "It's not an exaggeration to praise your proficiency. How many people practice hard for a lifetime may not be enough. To reach this level, you are only about 14 years old, which shows how talented you are, which is really enviable."
"God just blesses all the talents of the servants in this area. The four things of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the remaining three things are absolutely shameless. No matter how you learn it when you are young, you will not be able to understand it. I am so angry that Mr. Cursing the elm head."
Hearing this and seeing her embarrassed little expression, Kangxi couldn't help being amused, and his mood became more relaxed, "Then next time I have to take a good look at what kind of elm head this is."
Lin Shiyu suddenly became more and more embarrassed, "The emperor can spare the servants. I have always heard that the emperor is knowledgeable and talented, but the servants have not learned such a superficial idea. Isn't that ridiculous and generous? They should be ashamed to see the emperor in the future."
After the two laughed a few words, the relationship seemed to have drawn a lot closer, at least it was no longer so strange and embarrassing.
Kangxi asked someone to bring in tea, melons and fruits, and said: "Just now at the empress dowager's place, you were too restrained. You haven't even had two sips of tea. Quench your thirst."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." After finishing speaking, Lin Shiyu really didn't want to be polite to him, and slowly drank the tea.
"You have lived in Jia's house for some time, but are you still used to it?"
Lin Shiyu hurriedly put down the tea, and replied: "Grandmother is very caring and caring for us and sisters, and we are always here for us, and it is lively when the sisters talk and laugh together on weekdays..."
Having said that, but the lonely thoughts inadvertently revealed between the eyebrows and eyes still make people feel soft in their hearts.
After all, she is still a little girl, homesick, right?
"I remember that the Lin family also has a house in the capital, but it's just going to be in disrepair for a long time...you can find some people to clean it up when you have time."
Lin Shiyu was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her heart jumped up when she realized it. Is that what she meant?Should be right?
Looking at the little girl's bright eyes full of eager anticipation, Kangxi didn't hold back anymore, and said with a smile: "I am currently looking for someone to take over your father, and your father will be able to return to Beijing in a few days, so the house should be repaired as soon as possible." Some things... Forget it, it's not convenient for you, a little girl, to handle this matter. Besides, your house has been around for some years, and no one has lived in it these years. For a big project, it’s better for me to reward a house directly when the time comes.”
Lin Shiyu didn't care about whether he was a house or not, and he only had one sentence in his heart - father can be transferred back to the capital!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"What? Is this how I was dismissed with just a thank you?" Kangxi pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted.
Lin Shiyu was not afraid of him, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Why don't I play another song for the emperor?"
"That's right."
Cining Palace
When the Empress Dowager saw Mammy come back, she asked, "How is it? Did those two girls say anything?"
"I said a few words, but the servant didn't hear what was said, only looked at Miss Tong's expression is not very good, and then left by herself first."
"Okay, you step back."
"It seems to have worked, that girl from the Tong family..." Su Mo'er shook her head, but she didn't finish her sentence.
The empress dowager sneered, "She's still a direct aunt and nephew. Compared with her aunt, she's a little less interesting." It's not good to be tempted by someone, but she is really tempted by the king of a country, naive, stupid!
"Just wait and see, she will regret it in the future."
There are one branch at each end of the flower bloom.
However, everyone in the Jia family was still doing their own things as usual, who would have thought that they would suddenly be overjoyed?Suddenly hearing the good news of Jia Yuanchun's concubine, everyone was stunned and full of disbelief. After all, she has been in the palace for many years, and the best flowering period of the girl's family has passed... Everyone in the family talked Although I didn't say it, I really didn't have much hope in my heart. I really never expected that there would be a day when things turned around.
After confirming the authenticity of the news again and again, everyone was overjoyed for a moment and didn't know what to do. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't help wiping away tears on the spot.
"I knew that my Yuanchun must have a great fortune." Mrs. Wang suddenly felt the gloom in her heart dissipated. She looked coldly at the people around her who were desperately trying to curry favor with her. , and the chin also lifted up.
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Auntie has to change her mouth. In the future, she can no longer call her by her name directly. She has to be called Niangniang!"
"Very, very true." Mother Jia wiped her tears and nodded, "Our family finally has a mother... Bless the ancestors, bless the ancestors."
"If you want me to say that it's all taught by the old lady well, who doesn't know that you personally raised your mother when she was young? It can be seen that the old lady is capable, and I will have the cheek to send sister Qiao to the old lady's room tomorrow." We can only keep it, and we don't dare to expect to be comparable to her aunt, but if we can have half of her aunt's ability, we will be satisfied."
Just as he was flattering, Dong Mansion next door also rushed over after hearing the news, and the piles of auspicious words became more and more flattering, making Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang feel elated.
However, Jia Baoyu didn't seem to be aware of such a happy event, as if he was cut off from everyone, he just sat there blankly and didn't see the slightest joy.
Seeing him like this, Xue Baochai asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you not happy about such a big happy event?"
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu frowned, "What kind of happy event is this? How nice would it be for an innocent girl to be born and raised at home? Why bother to go to that place where people cannibalize? If you ask me, that place is clearly The dirtiest place in the world..."
Xue Baochai quickly covered his mouth, and spat: "Are you trying to kill this big family? You're getting more and more out of your mind!"
Jia Baoyu turned his head away unhappily, but no matter what, he never made any shocking words.
Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, he stopped caring about him, and just watched the lively scene in front of him coldly, and his heart became more and more sprouting.
When Lin Shiyu came back, she saw the crowds of people in the courtyard. It was rare that no one noticed her, and she didn't care, so she just took her sister and left quietly.
"Sister, everything is going well? Why is the empress dowager so anxious to summon you?"
"It's nothing, I just met a younger sister." Lin Shiyu couldn't help but look at her own younger sister a few more times, and then suddenly realized, no wonder she always felt that the girl from the Tong family seemed to have known each other before. To be precise, it should be Sister Lin in the book.
But it is only on the surface, but the temperament is quite different.
The two sisters went back to Tinglan Garden and locked themselves in their room. Only then did Lin Shiyu tell the story that his father was about to be transferred back to the capital. Lin Daiyu was so happy that she burst into tears again, wishing to see her father immediately.
"It's good that only the two of us know about this matter, don't say anything about it, the emperor hasn't found a replacement yet, so wait a little longer."
Lin Daiyu nodded repeatedly.
In the next period of time, the two sisters seemed to be forgotten, even the old lady didn't care about them, and it was not for other reasons, but the Jia family was busy again.
Just because of Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine, a seven-day running water banquet was extravagantly arranged. Every day, countless people came in and out, and the troupe sang sonorously and babbling day and night, Not to mention how lively it was.
But they don't know how those people who are really in the center of the powerful in the capital look at it with contempt and ridicule, but it's just a mere concubine, and it's worth it?Those who didn't know it thought it was a step up to the sky.
Lin Shiyu looked on coldly and couldn't help shaking her head. This family is really too high-profile, and the person above does not like such a publicity style.
The two sisters were not the ones who like to join in the fun, and the people who come and go are strangers they all know, so naturally they are even more reluctant to get involved, and they only stay at the gate of Tinglanyuan every day. For those who don't go out of the second door, occasionally the Sanchun sisters will come to find a quiet and comfortable place, and there is no one else.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng came unexpectedly this day.
Lin Shiyu looked surprised, "There is still a running water banquet outside, why do you have time to come to my place when you are so busy?"
Wang Xifeng also didn't see the outside world at all, sat down, poured a cup of tea by herself, gulped it down, and sighed with a last touch of her mouth: "It's nothing more than two or three days a day, I really suffer after a few days in a row." Can't stop, it's too noisy."
"You can be idle?" Lin Daiyu looked at her sideways with feigned surprise, with the corners of her mouth slightly bent, half a smile, "No one in the whole house knows that your Second Mistress Lian is the one person who can't take time off the most. Now such a big occasion, I still think you are enjoying it."
Seeing Wang Xifeng deflated, Lin Shiyu couldn't help pursing her lips, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Baba looking for you? Come on, I'm afraid someone will come looking for you in a while, such a big battle The battle would not have been possible without your Second Mistress Lian sitting in charge."
"You two are so talkative..." Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, and looked at Lianyi and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Shiyu understood, "You all go out first."
Waiting until there were only three of them left in the room, Wang Xifeng said: "I don't know why my heart is always a little noisy... It is a great joy to say that the eldest girl in this family has won the favor, but it's just a few days ago. But I always dreamed about Rong’s daughter-in-law... You don’t know, she gave me a dream the night she went, and I couldn’t hear what she said, and then I was busy with her funeral. I forgot, who would have dreamed again inexplicably in the past few days... and said that when the moon is full, the water will overflow when it is full, and that when you climb a height, you will fall heavily..."
"When she went there, I couldn't figure it out when I heard these words, but now that the eldest girl has suddenly gained power, and then I think of these words..." Wang Xifeng touched her chest, always feeling a little uneasy "The big guys in the family are all in high spirits, so it's not easy for me to say these things. I'm afraid they'll just think I'm talking nonsense and shame people. The two sisters are rare and transparent people. Considering you So, what does this mean? Did I think too much or..."
Lin Shiyu was really surprised this time. She never expected that Wang Xifeng would still remember Qin Keqing's dream, and even associate it with Jia Yuanchun's gaining power. Should it be said that it is a woman's intuition?
The demise of the Jia family actually started from the moment Jia Yuanchun gained power.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Shiyu said: "Tuomeng's words are indeed very mysterious, but some things are really hard to jump to conclusions. Maybe it's just that you think too much, maybe she really foresaw something when the end came. , I came to you in order to leave a lifeline for the family... Let me tell you, this matter is very involved, I would rather believe it or not... Why don't you make some plans in private and leave a way out for yourself, If nothing happens in the future, these arrangements will not hinder anything, but if it is really what she said, then it will be a real chance."
Wang Xifeng pursed her lips firmly, she was not in a hurry to speak for a while, but her face was pale and miserable, and she didn't look very well.
After a while, she sighed and made up her mind, "You're right. If you think too much, it won't hurt anything. On the contrary... You can't gamble on such things, and you can't afford to gamble. It's always wrong to leave an extra way out." There will be mistakes."
Before I could say a few more words, I heard someone coming from outside.
Supporting her tired body, Wang Xifeng forced herself to stand up, "I really want to thank my sister today, let's have a good talk after we finish our work outside."
Lin Shiyu waved his hands casually, "Go quickly, there will be another rush outside."
Seeing that Wang Xifeng had disappeared, Lin Daiyu asked her softly, "What does my sister know? Could something really happen?"
"How can I know what it is? It's just that the extreme prosperity must decline, and the extreme joy begets sorrow. This has been the case since ancient times, so why is it so strange?"
Lin Daiyu thought about it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with this statement. Regardless of whether it is a country or a family, since ancient times, no one can last forever. After the prosperity, it must slowly decline until it is completely destroyed, and so on. .
The Jia family... is no exception.
