Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

Because several senior and virtuous old ladies were invited into the hall to speak by the queen mother, all the other wives were waiting in the corridor outside the hall. Although there were so many people, they couldn't help walking, but everyone stood or leaned in an orderly manner. Not even a cough.Daiyu entered the palace for the first time, looked at the carved green tiles, gold railings and jade, she was not envious in her heart, but thought that this place is not what a home should look like, people who live here are destined not to be happy right?

While her thoughts were flying, the female officer came over to deliver an order announcing her into the palace.Daiyu hurriedly restrained her mind, straightened her makeup, went in solemnly, and greeted the queen mother and the queen. The queen mother called out with a smile on her face, and Daiyu stood beside Jiamu.The Empress Dowager looked at Daiyu carefully and said with a smile: "This child really looks like the old lady. It reminds me of what happened when we were young." Then she said: "At that time you brought the child's mother in, I fell in love at first sight, I thought it would be good to be a concubine in the palace, but who knows, I have already discussed marriage, I will not forgive you in the end, it is really good to call your granddaughter Yuan Chun into the palace "Speaking of Yuanchun, it touched the pain in Jia Mu's heart, but it was only Wei Wei who dared to show her sadness.

The queen mother called Daiyu to come to her side, and asked her age and place of origin, parents and brothers, and household chores. Daiyu answered decently, neither humble nor overbearing, with elegant posture, and even the queen couldn't help but praise a few words beside her.The Empress Dowager asked about Jia Cong again, and Daiyu replied that she had sent a letter to tidy up the embankment during the dry season in winter, so she would not return to Beijing for the New Year. Go get a treasure and give it to Daiyu.

The court lady went there for a while, and brought a box decorated with gold and jade, opened it, and inside was a Hetian jasper sachet, about the size of a pigeon egg, carved into the shape of a plum blossom, hollowed out with very fine auspicious patterns, on which was a phoenix Peony, lifelike.Daiyu was born in wealth and honor since she was a child, and she has seen many good things, so she naturally knows that this thing is extraordinary, just because of the exquisite carving, it is rare in the world, not to mention the moist and clear jasper itself.Quickly thanking her, the Empress Dowager hung it up for her with her own hands, looked at it for a long time, and praised: "It's a good thing, but someone should wear it. This is an old thing from the former palace. It has been in my hands for a long time. When I was young Every time there are many people, I put a little bit of agarwood into the small hole on the top of the jasper, and the fragrance will not disperse wherever I go. As I get older, I can no longer wear such bright ornaments. This child wears it, but It's commensurate, more and more delicate like a flower and a tender willow, but it doesn't mean that everyone can pinch water."

Everyone praised her, and the queen smiled and said, "It can be seen that Lafayette loves this child and rewarded her with such good things." The queen mother said at length: "If you talk about this jasper, although it is full of water, it is the best. , but it is not very rare. Do you think there is no second one for this sachet? It turned out to be its carver, who cut out a whole piece of jade and carved it with patterns. Among the offerings from the previous dynasty, only A jade craftsman can do this job, and everything that comes out of his hand is exquisite, but it's a pity that Guangling is scattered, and there are no heirs. I only have three or five pieces left in my hand."

The queen mother became more and more happy as she talked, so she left Jiamu and others to have dinner together. Daiyu's respectful and easy-going attitude made the queen who had been on the sidelines very fond of it, and smiled at the queen mother: "Don't say that the queen mother likes this child, I see She is also very kind, think about it, if the former Princess Jingyi is raised up, she should look like this." Said with red eyes.It turns out that although the empress has a high status, she has nothing to do. She only gave birth to a princess in her early years, and she died when she was underage, which has become an eternal pain in the empress's heart.

The Empress Dowager became even more concerned, and immediately forced the Empress to recognize Daiyu as her goddaughter. The Empress was naturally overjoyed, and at that time sent the chief servant to go to the Emperor to play a song. When the Emperor was about to win over these capable officials, why not willing?So he pushed the boat along the way, canonized Daiyu as the princess, and all her salary went out of the palace.When the news came, the queen mother and empress were all happy, and Jia Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Daiyu to thank her.

After such a toss, when he left the palace and returned to the mansion, the lights were already on.Mrs. Wang waited like a frightened bird for a whole day, but she welcomed back the happy family. Jia She was so happy that she kept stroking her beard. Mrs. Xing was so honored that she never took her eyes off the Queen Mother The Hetian jasper sachet that was rewarded kept smacking his lips, but Jia Zheng was still able to hold on, and expressed his emotion very honestly: "The harem looks after the former court, and Cong's daughter-in-law won the favor of the queen mother and queen. Because Cong'er is serving the country, she doesn't avoid hardships, she has endured hardships, and she becomes a master." After saying that, he sighed and turned his head to see that Baoyu is now locked in the house all day long, and he can't come out to meet people. Jia Huan's behavior Wretched, Jia Lan is like a little adult, but always cold and indifferent, not close to anyone, thinking about the fact that he can't find a child who can support the family in his house, he can't help but feel sad.

Since the defeat of the Ningguo Mansion, the Nayou family could not regain their original vigor and vigor. They attended the family banquet for a while, thinking that Jia Zhen and his son are still suffering at the border, how can they sit still, so they couldn't help saying: "If we can join us Before Dong Mansion ransacked the house, there was such a happy event, maybe our uncle escaped unharmed, as long as the third grandma Cong said something nice for my uncle in front of the queen mother, it would be fine." Mrs. Xing glanced at her, her nose filled with tears. Breathing out air-conditioning, wanting to slap her, but forbearance.

Jia Zheng was silent for a long time before he said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the rule of the ancestors, daughter-in-law Zhen, didn't you have it in the boudoir training before you married?" This is very serious, You Shi She blushed, lowered her head, and dared not speak any more.Jia's mother thought that Jia Zheng had spoiled everyone's interest, so she drove the men out to hold a banquet and drink, and she held a special banquet in the big flower hall, drinking and joking for fun.

Poor You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law forcefully smiled, but their hearts were full of pain. They waited until the banquet was over, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to their own room without worry. Shi couldn't help sobbing, and said to her daughter-in-law: "You listened to what the second master said today, okay, okay, okay, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. I just opened my eyes and watched, and the rain and dew were all scattered on the side of the big room." , the thunder struck their second room..." Her daughter-in-law quickly covered her mouth, for fear of being heard, and it would be better to live under the fence than to have nowhere to live.

I don't know if You Shi's resentment was too thick, or if there was some kind of karma, but before the first month passed, Erfang encountered a series of bad luck.First, Mrs. Wang's elder brother, Wang Ziteng, was well-behaved in the post of the nine provinces, but because of a small cold, he took the wrong medicine and died.The Wang family had already counted on Wang Ziteng to support the family. As soon as he died, it immediately "suddenly collapsed like a building", and the brothers split up. Wang Xifeng's father took his family back to Jinling, their ancestral home in anger. It was Wang Xifeng who felt even more lonely.

This is a later story, let's say that within a few days of Wang Ziteng's death, the guards of Jinyi Mansion surrounded Rongguo Mansion.This time, the prince and the cabinet ministers did not come forward. The person in charge of the search was Sun Shaozu, the new Minister of War. Sun Shaozu was Jia Amnesty's son-in-law, but because he had a habit of abusing his wives and concubines, he was not close to him.At this time, he came to the door triumphantly, scaring Jia She almost to death, and tremblingly came to receive the order, but Sun Shaozu said with a smile: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, my son-in-law has an official job, so I won't give it to you, old man." Salute now. Where is Jia Zheng? Kneel down and listen to the order!"

It was only then that Jia She knew that the son-in-law was not here to trouble himself, but to trouble his younger brother.When he hurriedly sent someone to find Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng had already heard Xin'er and rushed over. He knelt down to listen to the order with a pale expression on his face. Why are you able to build such a huge garden? How much is your salary? But you used the people's fat and people's ointment?"

Jia Zhengwan didn't expect that the emperor's decree of favor, the family-friendly villa built by him, would become a big pit for himself, so he hurriedly kowtowed and returned: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the minister is a humble official, and he unexpectedly got a phoenix, and I look up to the Holy Majesty." The decree of kindness, the construction of the Grand View Garden, the family-friendly villa, is not obtained from the salary of the only minister, but the financial resources of the minister's family, which has been managed by the ancestors for several generations, and dare not search for the common people. Please be aware of it."

Sun Shaozu nodded after hearing this, and said, "According to the decree, I asked Jia Zheng about it. It is rumored that your son Jia Baoyu was born with jade. What is your intention in spreading such absurd rumors?" : "My lord, my servant Jia Baoyu is just a naughty boy. The wife of the family has no knowledge. It is not credible to spread rumors."

Sun Shaozu snorted, and threw out his trump card: "by decree, ask Jia Zheng, how dare you have two ends of the snake, communicate with foreign officials, and hide the property of criminal officials?" Where did you start? Why would you dare to do such a rebellious thing?" Sun Shaozu sneered and said, "If you have hidden the property of a criminal minister, you will know if you copy it." After saying that, he shouted "copy", those who have already been gearing up The guard went straight to Jia Zheng's yard like a hungry wolf.

After a while, the guards brought out four or five large boxes and opened them face to face. The inside was full of gold ingots, silver ingots, and antiques, worth no less than 10 taels of silver.Jia Zheng stared dumbfounded at the "wealth" that fell from the sky, only circling in his mind: I have been framed, but who would spend such a large amount of money to frame him?

Sun Shaozu asked again: "Jia Zheng, tell me quickly, are these properties hidden in your house by the Zhen family in Jiangnan?" After hearing this, Jia Zheng suddenly came to his senses and stared at Mrs. Wang. Well, she never imagined that the few boxes of Zhen's belongings that she had kept in a moment of kindness at the beginning would become charges of harming her own family.
