Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

This is really joyful, it is an extremely glorious moment for the Jia family, it marks that the Jia family has jumped from the family of Wu Xun to become a relative of the emperor, and has a direct relationship with the emperor.The eldest girl is now conferred the title of Concubine Xiande, what a noble position that is, it can be seen that she is extremely favored by the emperor.If the empress is lucky enough to give birth to the prince, then the Jia family will be the prince's natal family, and her status will immediately rise to a higher level.The current empress has no children, if, if the son born by the empress is lucky enough to be established as the prince, then the Jia family can maintain at least two generations of monstrous wealth.

Everyone thought of this level, so the entire Jia family, from the master at the top level to the maids and servants at the lowest level, all showed joy and laughed happily.In order to celebrate this happy event, the old lady ordered to give the servants an extra month's monthly money as a reward, so that everyone can also enjoy the blessing of the empress.Now, the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.The old relatives of the Wang family, the Shi family, the Xue family, etc. also came to congratulate them one after another with generous gifts.

At this time, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang recalled Ma Daopo's words that day, and they couldn't help being shocked.It is absolutely impossible for Ma Daopo to receive the news in advance of the concubine in Yuanchun, but she can see that the Jia family is full of auspiciousness, which shows that she is an expert with great abilities and hidden in the city!The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help admiring Ma Daopo. In the past, they just regarded her as a nun who came to the Mantou Temple for alms every day. It's just that her words and actions catered to their wishes, which gave her a little more face.At this moment, I feel that she is not far from Zhang Zhenren of Qingxuguan.The two of them coincidentally sent someone to deliver a generous gift to Ma Daopo.

Ma Daopo happily accepted the gift. The attitude of the two generations of Jia's mistresses towards her was quite different from before. Especially when Zhou Rui's family came over, they brought a news that Mrs. Wang intended to let Second Master Bao recognize her as a godmother , and also sent 200 taels of silver to ask her to pray for the empress in front of the Buddha.

"You have caught the eyes of old ladies and wives now, old man!" Zhou Rui's words made Ma Daopo very proud, and she couldn't help feeling a little more respect for Jia Cong in her heart.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, the news of Lin Ruhai's death from Yangzhou was insignificant.Except for Jia Baoyu who was worried that Lin Daiyu would hurt her body by crying sadly, the others didn't react much.Wang Xifeng still joked about Baoyu with a smile.Jia Cong was chilled when he heard this.

Soon, the emperor decreed that the concubines of the palaces were allowed to go home to visit their relatives, but they needed to have Chongyu other courtyards at home, so they could stay in the customs.The Jia family immediately took action, busy negotiating to build a family-visiting villa to welcome the concubine Xiande back home to visit her relatives.

Everyone's busy goals are different.Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Qin and other members of the Jia family all sharpened their heads, thinking of taking some projects from Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng held the power to build the courtyard, and was the object of everyone's flattery and fawning, so he took the opportunity to collect many places.At this time, the disparity in power and influence between her and Jia Lian was revealed, and she blatantly stabilized Jia Lian's head.Jia Lian promised Jia Yun an errand, but if Wang Xifeng didn't agree, it wouldn't count.Jia Yun was also clever, and immediately borrowed money to give Wang Xifeng a gift, and only then did she get the job.

It was from this point that Jia Lian began to drift away from Wang Xifeng, right?The descendants of the clan, seeing that the servants of the Rongguo Mansion can make a lot of money from it, but as a member of the same clan, they don't take care of them at all, don't they have any resentment in their hearts?It's no wonder that once Ningrong and Rong's two families were charged with crimes, they immediately betrayed their relatives, and the tribe didn't have much help, and they even took pleasure in other people's misfortunes.

No matter how luxurious the family-speaking villa is, it is not difficult to construct the project. It is nothing more than inviting famous experts to design, craftsmen start construction, and everyone has their own errands.The difficulty is that this requires a lot of expenses, where does the money come from?

However, there is no need to worry about this problem now.Jia Cong saw Jia Lian taking Lin Daiyu back home.Jia Cong understood that what he brought back with him was also a large amount of property from the Lin family.Most of these will be used in the magnificent Grand View Garden, and the rest will be used to supplement the extravagant life of the Jia family in the days to come until exhausted.However, the owner of this property ended up being dependent on others, "not a single piece of paper or wood is his own".

When Jia Cong was reading, he felt deep sympathy for Lin Daiyu.But when he came here, he was helpless. People who speak lightly are unable to protect themselves, struggling to escape the known fate, and the road ahead is boundless. How can he be able to save the alien plants that come to return tears?

What's more, some people are like the bright moon in the sky, they are not suitable to be close to.A bright moon hangs far away in the sky, exuding a clear brilliance, bright and refined, making people fascinated when looking at it.But when you get close to her, you will be frozen by her coldness, and you will never think of getting close again.This is probably the "Ye Gong is a good dragon" that is worse than seeing each other!

Jia Lian is exquisite and easy-going, even though he doesn't have close contact with this concubine, when he sees Jia Cong, he laughs at Yan Yan and talks to him about family matters affectionately.Lin Daiyu is graceful and elegant, with a refined temperament. When Jia Cong first met her, the first impression was very good. Who would not have a good impression of such a talented and beautiful woman, not to mention the halo of the filter of the original book.

However, Lin Daiyu was quite indifferent to Jia Cong. She only responded lightly to Jia Cong's warm greeting, then turned her face away and ignored her, making Jia Lian next to her feel a little embarrassed, and quickly said He said a few words and tried his best to smooth things over.

Jia Cong laughed at himself.He understood that in the eyes of the noble and noble Lin Daiyu, his bastard, like Jia Huan, was vulgar and humble, out of sight.The one who can make her miss her heart and become her confidant can only be the star-studded Jia Baoyu.Although she gets along well with her concubine daughters Tanchun and Yingchun, they are Linghui's daughters and they are different from their concubine sons.

But did Jia Cong and Jia Huan offend Lin Daiyu?No!They can only look up to Lin Daiyu, they never have the courage and opportunity to have a verbal dispute with Lin Daiyu like Shi Xiangyun and Qingwen did, but Lin Daiyu's attitude is really unpleasant.In the later stage, Lin Daiyu was familiar with some world affairs and human relations, and she was able to treat Aunt Zhao politely.At that time, she must have experienced the cruelty of the world and experienced the beatings of life.

Jia Cong is a person with a round outside and a square inside, with strong self-esteem, and it is absolutely impossible for him to rush to be a dog licker.Since Lin Daiyu was indifferent to him, he also laughed it off and ignored her.Since then, he and Lin Daiyu have no intersection.

He came to this world just to live a good life.He is an ordinary person, not a superman, nor a saint, and he is not obligated to save everyone.

Lin Daiyu returned to Rongguo Mansion and brought back many pens, ink, books and other things, and distributed them to the sisters and Baoyu.Seeing this, Jia Huan felt displeased, and complained to Jia Cong that Lin Daiyu favored one another and did not give him and Jia Cong a single piece of paper.Jia Cong understood the injustice of being treated coldly. Although he was relatively well off in Jia's family, he also felt the embarrassment and injustice of being treated differently as a bastard everywhere.Growing up in such a cold and violent environment, Jia Huan is wretched and domineering, Jia Cong is mediocre and timid, they are not on the stage, and they cannot become talents at all.Of course, the intention of the Jia family is also the same, they don't want the concubine to be too good, so as not to overtake the concubine and cause a fight between the concubine and concubines.However, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who are legitimate sons, have not experienced much training, and they could not support the family at all when the building collapsed.It can be seen that Jia's education failed so badly that there were no successors in the family.

Everyone in the Jia family was busy with concubine Xiande's family visit, or took the opportunity to make a fortune.Jia Cong was also busy all day long, and his second book of Chinese stories was also a hit. Chen Shushang followed his idea and slowly started to operate it, and it also saw initial results.Chen Shushang authorized the storyteller to make some adaptations of these two investigative stories, and they started talking about them in various teahouses.In this way, illiterate people are also fascinated by listening to it. Many people also know about this collection of detective cases and are aroused. People often come to the bookstore and ask when will the new book be released?According to the agreement, Mr. Storyteller also has to pay a certain authorization fee. Although the amount of money collected by a single person is not much, as the detective story becomes famous, he is willing to pay more and more money. Slowly accumulating in this way is also beneficial. And the future can be expected.

Chen Shushang made money, and Jia Cong naturally benefited from it.Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine indicates that the story of Dream of Red Mansions has also reached its climax.Jia Cong silently counted his property again, and sighed worriedly.

After preparing for more than half a year, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the new year, the Jia family finally welcomed the concubine Xiande.On that day, the whole family, young and old, got up before five drums, and some of the officials and nobles all put on heavy makeup, and everyone else had to bathe and change clothes to look decent.Even Jia Huan and Jia Cong were repeatedly told to wear the best clothes, not to lose courtesy.

Jia Cong and Jia Huan stood in the most inconspicuous position to welcome the team.Jia Cong glanced at the long line of people in front of him, they were all trembling slightly in the cold wind, but they didn't dare to move a little bit, and couldn't help being in a daze for a moment.He is in a delicate mood. Today's prosperity is the pinnacle of Jia's glory and the beginning of the collapse of the building.He is like a prophet in a myth, knowing the end of everything and knowing that the Jia family is stepping into the abyss step by step, but he has to watch everything helplessly, powerless.He can only serve as a witness to this tragedy.

But he also didn't want to be buried with the Jia family.After regaining consciousness, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already calm and buried all his thoughts deep in his heart.

When Concubine Xiande came to Rongguo Mansion, it was already after dinner.Jia Mu and others accompanied her on a tour of the entire Grand View Garden.In the huge garden, the lights are brightly lit, illuminating the night as if it were day, cigarettes linger everywhere, flowers and shadows are colorful, music is loud, and there are endless scenes of peace, prosperity and romance.Looking at the prosperity in the garden in the distance, Jia Cong felt a burst of desolation.

In the middle of the night, Concubine Xiande was about to leave for the palace, and she handed out the rewards to everyone.Jia Cong and Jia Huan were honored to visit their relatives, and they were also tied with Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others, and they got a gift, a pair of gold and silver.This is the first and only time Jia Cong has been rewarded by Concubine Xiande.However, Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing and him are also ordinary brothers and sisters in trouble. After that, the palace never gave them any rewards.

Jia Cong was a common man, so he did some calculations, the rewards given by Concubine Xiande to the Jia family were nothing more than colored satin antiques, totaling more than 100 taels of gold a year, equivalent to more than 1000 taels of silver.The construction cost of this Grand View Garden is at least a few hundred thousand taels higher, not to mention the eunuchs who will be sent to beat the autumn wind in the future will cost thousands of taels, and there will be a large sum of supplies for her.Until the Jia family was overthrown, the men of the Jia family never got any official position because of the Xiande concubine, what a loss-making business, alas!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the flowers in front of the window bloomed and thanked, thanked and bloomed again.Jia Cong's stature has grown a bit, and gradually faded away from the appearance of a child, showing the heroic spirit and handsomeness of a young man.Wearing a blue silk dress embroidered with dark patterns, he stood upright in front of the window, looking at the lush flowers and trees in the yard, but his face was gloomy, and his eyes gleamed with resentment.

"Brother Cong," Madam Su tiptoed in, looked at Jia Cong's back, sighed silently, and said softly, "The old lady gave me something, and I sent amber."

"Really?" Jia Cong gritted his teeth and smiled coldly: "Then thank you, old lady!"
