Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

But Jia Zheng didn't expect that the joy this great event brought him could not last for a whole morning, or even the time for him to read a letter.

This letter from the East Palace said at the beginning that Yuan Chun would be named Fengzao Palace Minister, and even, if Jia Zheng was willing, Yuan Chun might be able to get another title of virtuous concubine on the day of promotion.

This is of course a great joy.

Jia Zhengcai was delighted, and the joy on his face froze.

The letter also said that this time it was really the emperor's grace, and he was going to fill all the vacant concubines in the palace at once.

The daughter of the Zhou family in Jingdu will be promoted to noble person at that time; and the girl of Wu Tian from the Wu family will also be promoted to noble concubine.

If the queen and the prince of the East Palace are willing to help each other, Yuan Chunfang may snatch the position of a virtuous concubine from other people in the harem.

The East Palace wants to send news to Jia Zheng early, just to find out what Jia Zheng means.If Yuanchun can really be promoted, they want Jia Zheng and the Jia family to remember their kindness in the future.Especially now, since Jia Zheng is a foreign student, if there is an opportunity, he should do something for them.Even now, they asked Jia Zheng to help keep an eye out for students who could do things for them.

It was also the request in the letter that let Jia Zheng know that his daughter had obtained the joy of fortune in the palace, and all of it turned into worry.

This year is the year of holding the provincial examination.The news from the East Palace now is just for him to get acquainted with the students and see who might become a member of the East Palace school in the future.

But what about when the township examination is about to be held?Donggong really won't make more excessive demands?

Although the imperial examination is of great importance and not easy to handle, Jia Zheng knows that the imperial examination is not an absolutely clean examination.Not to mention the rural examination held by Tiangao Emperor Yuan, as long as it is not a palace examination decided by the emperor alone, there is room for others to manipulate it.

Of course he was unwilling to do these things, and he would not even watch his subordinates do such things, but Dong Gong tempted and threatened him with his daughter's future, could he really ignore it?Even if he could not do it himself, there is no possibility for him to report after finding out that other people working for the East Palace did it.

Jia Zheng read the letter over and over for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh.

In fact, the embarrassment he has now is all because of what Lin Ruhai said to him before.

If Lin Ruhai hadn't analyzed the internal situation of the royal family for him after returning to the capital, and had told him about the hidden dangers that the Jia family was facing, Jia Zheng would have taken it for granted even if he read this letter.

The Jia family was originally closely related to the queen, the East Palace, and the Beijing Palace behind it.In the eyes of Jia Zheng in the past, it was only natural to do these things for the East Palace.Even though this may violate some principles, it is a price that must be paid in the relationship between the family and other forces.

Only with Lin Ruhai's analysis, Jia Zheng already understood how dangerous the Jia family is now, even if it is backed by the East Palace, it may not be safe.Today's Holy Majesty is more than just the son of Prince Donggong!

In the end, Jia Zheng set the letter on fire and burned it.

There must be no evidence of such a confidential matter.

Whether he likes it or not, he knows that the current him can only do things for the East Palace.

The only thing he could do was to send a letter to Lin Fu at the same time as sending a letter to his family.

In Beijing, the Sanchun sisters have already returned to Rongguo Mansion.

The news of Xue Tiao's brother and sister's arrival in the capital also spread to Rong Mansion.After discussing with Mrs. Wang, Jia's mother decided to invite the Xue Biao brothers and sisters to the home.

Xue Biao is a man, so it is naturally Jia Lian who receives him.As for Baoqin, Aunt Xue and Baochai, together with Daiyu and Xiangyun, went to visit Jiamu.

Since she wanted to meet guests and had something to do with herself, Mrs. Wang also met Baoqin and others in Jiamu's room.

Mother Jia was already smiling happily, especially after knowing that Daiyu and the others intended to stay here for a few days before going back, she was even more delighted and said, "Okay, okay! That's how it should be, everyone should be more friendly!"

Jiamu and Daiyu are very familiar with each other, but she is the only one who saw Baoqin. After talking about it one by one, Jiamu called Baoqin to her side and put on her glasses for a closer look.

Seeing this, everyone present was surprised.

Everyone usually only sees Mother Jia loving Daiyu and other girls, but who ever thought that Mother Jia would like a girl who has nothing to do with her family so much?Not even Yingchun, one of Jiamu's direct granddaughters, or Xichun from Dongfu, were ever treated specially by Jiamu.

Baoqin is looked at by Jiamu like this. Although she is young, she is not shy. She just smiles and looks at Jiamu.

Jia's mother became more and more happy, and she wished that Baoqin could sit beside her.

It's just that she always loves Daiyu and Xiangyun the most, and she deliberately let them sit beside her before, how can she have the seat of Baoqin now?

After thinking about it again, Mother Jia took the Baoqin, turned to Mrs. Wang and smiled and said, "I think I like this child very much. Why don't you recognize her as your goddaughter? What do you think?"

When these words came out, no one could have imagined them.

Mrs. Wang was usually a bit soft-spoken, but she was shocked by Jia Mu's words and didn't know how to answer.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Sister Qin really hurts just looking at it, it's strange that my ancestor likes it so much."

After she said this, Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Since the old lady said so, I should recognize this goddaughter. It's just that although Miss Qin has no parents, she still has an aunt. At any rate, Auntie has to decide."

"That's your sister. You sisters can talk about it." After Jia Mu finished speaking, she began to ask carefully while holding the Baoqin.

Aunt Xue was overjoyed for a while, but then thought that she and her daughter had made a plan to join the Lin family, and was thinking of a reason to push off Bao Qin's adoption, but she saw that Mother Jia had already pushed the matter to the Wang family. Madam, Madam Wang was turning her head to look at her again, Aunt Xue couldn't utter the words of refusal that came to her lips.

After all, among her brothers and sisters, Mrs. Wang has the best relationship with her.In any case, Mrs. Wang had helped her a lot in the past.Now it is Jia Mu, the elder, who puts the task on Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang can only do it well.How could Aunt Xue refuse?

Aunt Xue had no choice but to get up, go forward, hold Baoqin's hand from Jiamu's, and said with a smile, "Girl Qin, why don't you visit your ancestors soon? And your godmother, they will also visit you again." .”

Jia's mother had already given Baoqin a meeting gift, but now she was happy, and wanted Yuanyang to go to her warehouse to fetch some gold and jade things to give to Baoqin as a gift of recognition.

Mrs. Wang also ordered the girls around her to go back and order some gifts.

Baoqin was a little uneasy at first, but after all, she walked around with her father and brother, with Aunt Xue, Baochai and other family members around, and seeing other people as Mrs. Wang's goddaughter, she has returned to normal.Doing this made Jia's mother even more happy, and she even had to leave Baochai in her room to rest tonight, which surprised everyone even more for a while.

Xiangyun followed Daiyu to the room to rest.This room is still the same as when Daiyu lived in Rongfu, and Jia Mu still ordered people to clean it every day, only in case Daiyu came at any time, she could live here.
